Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1603 Destroying the Gluttonous Demon (Bonus Chapter 3 for Alliance Leader Taoshuke)

As the battle formation shattered, Tianmu City and all the Mu family's battle formation cultivators were annihilated by the supernatural powers of the crowd.

Only countless storage bags and corpses scattered in the air.

There were hardly any screams.

In front of Nascent Soul cultivators, those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators are far too weak without the defense of battle formations. They are like ants and cannot even withstand a single breath from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, with so many Nascent Soul cultivators activating their divine powers together, even storage bags flying in the air suffered considerable damage under their influence.

These damaged storage bags are naturally no longer usable for storing things, nor can the treasures inside be retrieved.

Only a few high-quality storage bags belonging to Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators were preserved and casually collected by the Nascent Soul cultivators.

The defeat of the entire Mu family camp is now a foregone conclusion.

The primordial spirit of Tianmu Demon Saint was imprisoned by Feishi Divine Lord, while the spiritual materials and wood core were divided up by Potian Divine Lord and Haoran Divine Lord. Mu Minghe's storage bag and magic treasures were divided up by Feishi Divine Lord, four demon saints, and three Nascent Soul cultivators.

The sixth-tier spirit puppet fell into the hands of Lord Yunsha.

At this moment, Nine Heads, Fire Seal, and Purple Dragon have died in battle, Autumn Mountain God Lord and Four Profound Ancient Lions Qing Jue Nu Jue are in grave danger, and Gluttonous Demon Ancestor is trapped.

But at this moment, no one could be happy.

If Mu Huayuan were to escape into the Spirit Realm and return in the future, everyone would likely face retaliation.

They might even face Mu Huayuan's revenge if they enter the spirit world in the future.

This time, the other party must have obtained an extraordinary treasure.

Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Great Yu Realm knew that it was a Xuan Tian artifact. Bringing such a treasure up would definitely mean offering it to a major sect or powerful force in the Spirit Realm.

What kind of reward will Mu Huayuan receive at that time, and what status will he have in the spirit world?
All of this terrified them!

However, the Flying Corpse God Lord and the Mysterious Origin God Lord believed it to be a secret treasure of the Tianxuan Ye family.

Both Qingjue and Nujue held this view.

Of course, such treasures, if brought to the spirit realm, will also be rewarded by powerful forces.

At worst, they would die in the space storm during their flight.

But that probability is very low. How could the spatial node that Mu Huayuan desperately protected be in great danger?

While everyone else looked pessimistic, Ye Jingcheng was not. On the contrary, he observed his surroundings with his divine sense, his eyes showing a hint of tension and caution.

It seems like they're on guard against something.

Even before the great battle began, he released the Sky-Splitting Earthworm and the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit.

Both have the ability to penetrate space.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the space nodes that allow smuggling seem very stable; they are all corresponding to each other.

Each spatial node is actually quite prone to erupting.

This is why, when the various forces of the Great Yu Realm obtained a spatial node in the Heavenly Insect Realm, they had to establish a city and arrange for Nascent Soul cultivators to take turns guarding it.

Later, when they discovered that the spatial node was not very stable, everyone's minds became less active.

They stopped paying so much attention to the node locations in the Celestial Insect Realm.

In particular, Zheng Yuan Shenjun and Zi Yang Shenjun obtained some of Ye Jingcheng's node information.

Each of them secretly chose one and arranged for a cultivator to guard it.

This is why Mu Huayuan was unwilling to leave Taiyuan Realm.

Even though Ye Jingcheng had gathered more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng's original plan was to destroy the spatial node even if he couldn't kill Mu Huayuan, so how could he not be prepared?

As Mu Huayuan entered, Ye Jingcheng had the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm activate the self-destructing magic weapon that was originally hidden in the spatial node.

This time, Ye Jingcheng used some unused magical artifacts to set up a formation that would trigger a self-destruction, which was activated by the Sky-Splitting Divine Earthworm.

Suddenly, the void in the distance began to distort left and right, and then countless spatial fragments burst forth, turning into one spatial rift after another, which then devoured the outer perimeter of Tianmu Mountain and Tianmu Abyss.

"Run!" Ye Jingcheng didn't see Mu Huayuan escape, but he guessed that the latter couldn't escape either.

After sensing that the Sky-Splitting Earthworm and the Cave Heaven Stone Spirit had left in advance without any problems, Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although that mysterious artifact was also annihilated in the spatial rift, as long as Mu Huayuan is dead, the news about the Ye family will not be leaked.

The Flying Zombie Sect and the Mystic Lord still believed that the Ye family's treasure had fallen into the spatial rift.

Only the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Great Yu Realm who knew about the Xuan Tian artifact did so because of two reasons: firstly, they were bound by a vow of secrecy and could not tell outsiders, and secondly, they were unaware that the Ye family possessed such a treasure.

"Kill Qingjue!" Just then, Ziyang Shenjun appeared behind Nujue at some point. The latter had exhausted his spiritual talismans and spiritual treasures, and was now shrouded in the Crimson Flame Fox's Azure Yang Flame.

Finally, he was taken away by Ziyang Shenjun with a single sword strike.

Even his primordial spirit was trapped inside the treasure by the Purple Sun Divine Lord.

"Old Ancestor Taotie, how long are you going to be trapped here!" Qingjue Divine Lord was filled with sorrow. He wanted to escape, but at this moment, apart from the spatial rift, where could he escape to?

He could only entangle himself around the Eight Soul Locking Disc.

At this moment, the Divine Lord Miaoyuan lost the will to continue entangled with the Eight Soul Locking Disc, leaving only the Divine Lord Baiqiao struggling to hold on. Fortunately, at this moment, the Demon Saint Tianni had already opened the Xuan Tower of the Divine Lord Qiushan and swallowed his primordial spirit.

Now that there was an opening, he and Yu Linlong stood in front of the Eight Soul Locking Spirit Pearl, a Heavenly Treasure.

...Within the Tongtian Lingbao space, a loud boom resounded.

A gigantic Taotie ancient demon kept colliding with the three-headed ancient demon.

At this moment, one can see that the three ancient demons are covered with holes of various sizes.

These gaps were all forcibly bitten off.

On the other side, the Taotie Ancient Demon was also in a terrible state.

All that could be seen on its body were countless wounds corroded by the ancient demonic energy, and its tail had been blasted by the dark magic energy once. At this moment, what was flowing was not blood, but dark pus.

These pus-filled worms, like living insects, continuously eroded the flesh of the Gluttonous Ancestor, causing the latter to appear extremely pained and occasionally growl.

Within this Ink Spirit Ten Directions Inkstone, the three ancient demons, Kamaro, are not suppressed, but the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor's divine realm is suppressed.

The Devouring Heaven Divine Art has been significantly weakened.

At this moment, it felt extremely regretful. If it hadn't taken out the Heavenly Treasure and dragged Miaoyuan Divine Lord along, it would have had the Heavenly Treasure and wouldn't have been afraid of the three-headed ancient demon in front of it.

However, at this moment, the three-headed ancient demon had already revealed its true form and even manifested a supernatural form with three heads and six arms.

Each of the six arms also held a demonic weapon.

"It's time. My master has ordered that you be sent on your way!" Kamaro took out another magical artifact.

This magical artifact is a blood-red blade, the very same demonic blade that the Heavenly Blade Sect possessed back then.

This demonic blade is a weapon that consumes a cultivator's vital energy and lifespan.

But for Kamarā, this was a priceless treasure.

I'm usually reluctant to use it much!

First, it was the Blood Demon Lord, its eyes flashing with blood-red light, and the body of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor trembled violently once again.

Half of the prepared supernatural power dissipated, so it had to be prepared anew.

Fortunately, it finally opened its giant maw and swallowed the three-headed ancient demon, Gamara.

But at this moment, Kama was greeted by the dark Dharma breath.

The abundant ancient demonic energy expanded the dark magical aura by several rings.

It was dark and dense, completely occupying most of the space of the Ten Directions Ink Spirit Inkstone.

Under normal circumstances, this dark aura would not be able to attack anyone, but at this moment, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor had no way to avoid it!
It could only open its mouth wide, attempting to use its weakened Devouring Heaven Demon Art to swallow the dark Dharma energy along with the ancient demonic aura, and then swallow Kamaro as well.

"So what if I become an ancient demon today?" The Gluttonous Demon Ancestor looked particularly desolate at this moment. It didn't know how many times it had cursed Mu Huayuan as a waste and an idiot, but at this moment, it could only stubbornly embolden itself and strengthen its belief.

The Taotie Ancient Demon Clan can devour everything. Although its bloodline is impure and it is not a true Taotie, under the belief at this moment, it is the true spirit of Taotie, and it wants to devour everything!
Beneath the terrifying giant maw, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor could vaguely see the space outside.

But the dark aura of magic arrived in front of them and instantly engulfed everything.

The Gluttonous Demon Ancestor did indeed devour the dark magic energy, but what awaited it was not victory, but a demonic blade filled to the extreme with the blood and energy of an ancient demon.

The magical runes that had come to life were like countless little monsters, staring bloodthirstyly at the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

As the Blood Demon Blade swept past, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, along with that half of the void, was cleaved in two.

After the slash, Kamaro's demonic body shrank dramatically.

Clearly, that last strike consumed not only the ancient demonic energy, but also its blood energy.

Fortunately, the outcome was good. In the distance, the corpse of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor lay quietly, his primordial spirit shattered by that single strike.

The cave and the storage bag were both revealed.

But Kamaru dared not hesitate and took out special soul flags to collect the soul and remnants of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

He knew that Ye Jingcheng was going to perform a soul search.

However, the Dream-Devouring Insect is currently in seclusion, and when it comes time to Devour Dreams and Search Souls, it may lose a lot of information.

But even Kamaru was helpless. This gluttonous old demon was truly the older the demon, the harder its bones became, and the more difficult it was to kill.

……

Outside, with the death of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, the remaining divine consciousness on the Heavenly Treasure began to dissipate.

The eight soul-locking tentacles gradually retracted.

It transformed into a smooth bead with chain-like patterns.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng grabbed him directly.

"Ancestor!" Qingjue Divine Lord was even more heartbroken.

"Don't miss me too much, I'll send you to see your ancestor right now!" At this moment, the only living Nascent Soul Demon Saint left is Qingjue Divine Lord.

As Ye Jingcheng unleashed the Hidden Deer Divine Sword, Qingjue Divine Lord had no chance of survival and became a remnant soul beneath the Hidden Deer.

Ye Jingcheng had collected the primordial spirit into a soul bottle.

"Retreat!" The spatial rift in the distance was still spreading, which made many Nascent Soul cultivators feel regretful, because they had not yet searched for the treasures of Tianmu City and the Tianmu Mu family.

The sixth-tier spirit herb garden must have also disappeared into the spatial rift.

However, in their opinion, it was even more of a pity for Mu Huayuan, since the Tongtian Lingbao and the mysterious treasure were with him in the spatial rift!
