Chapter 319 The Five Fingers of the Chi Demon
"Alright, Jing Xueyi, you lead the way. Let's go see what these people in the shadows are up to."
Seeing Zhang Tianwen's words, Li Minghan and Shen Xingchen had no objections, and Yu Changsheng no longer had any concerns. He nodded and said to Jing Xueyi.
Jing Xueyi nodded, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and then the group flew eastward in a grand procession.
Along the way, Zhang Tianwen took the opportunity to recover his condition. A day later, Yu Changsheng saw the rift valley that Jing Xueyi had mentioned from afar.
The surrounding mountains were undulating and dark red, like a dark red dragon lurking on the earth. The sky was also glowing red, with two blood-red suns on the left and right, each in a corner of the sky, emitting an eerie aura and echoing the earth.
The rift valley is located in the very center of the mountain range. When viewed from above, it resembles a striking scar on a human face, stretching for hundreds of miles, bottomless and pitch black, like the sharpest knife, slashing fiercely across the giant dragon.
As a result, the bones and tendons were ripped open, revealing the pulsating blood vessels within. A crimson light covered the entire rift, extending into the deepest darkness. An incredibly intense malevolent aura spread and rose from the rift, affecting the surrounding area.
"Waaaaah..."
The wind howled, mixed with unknown wailing and ghostly cries, suddenly echoing in the rift valley, chilling people to the bone. The shockwaves from the mixed spirits spread out abruptly, causing passersby to change their expressions.
"This is it."
Jing Xueyi exhaled, recalled for a moment, slowed down, and led Yu Changsheng and the others toward the center of the rift valley.
Yu Changsheng frowned, gazing at the bottomless chasm. He cautiously extended his divine sense, but could not see the bottom either. Fortunately, there seemed to be no other danger. After glancing at Jing Xueyi, he thought for a moment and said:
"Just point me in the right direction and follow me."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Jing Xueyi was taken aback. She looked at Yu Changsheng with gratitude in her eyes and bowed with her hands clasped.
"It's alright." Yu Changsheng waved his hand, protected the group, and then enveloped them with his divine sense, trying to conceal their presence. Following Jing Xueyi's guidance, he slowly flew towards the depths of the rift valley.
All around was silent; apart from the rising and swirling malevolent energy, there were no other living beings along the way.
Fortunately, since they had all taken the Demonic Jade Flower, they didn't feel any sense of oppression.
Another hour later, Yu Changsheng's expression shifted slightly. He slowly extended his palm, stopped in his tracks, and stood in front of everyone.
"Be careful, those guys from the Undercurrents are up ahead."
Yu Changsheng transmitted his thoughts and said softly that he sensed an astonishing surge of magical energy ahead. Several people were attacking together, constantly pushing forward. He also sensed two waves of energy emanating from the Golden Core stage.
Besides, there were countless evil spirits everywhere, constantly surging and forming waves that blocked the path of the people in the undercurrent. However, at this moment, these evil spirits had been cleared away in pieces, with only a few remaining.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they held their breath and walked forward cautiously.
Before long, the scene ahead came into view. In the dark place, a strange red light rose up, and the malevolent energy reached its peak.
On the earth, the corpses of the evil spirits that had not yet dissipated lay scattered across the fields, their wails echoing. Among the horde of evil spirits, a group of twelve figures stood out.
These twelve people stood in different positions, forming a strange formation. They condensed in mid-air into two huge blood-fiend giants, each controlled by a group of six. Each time they launched an attack, a large number of fiends howled in agony.
The two blood-fiend giants were led by two Golden Core experts, one a middle-aged cultivator in a dark red robe and the other a middle-aged cultivator in a dark green robe.
Fortunately, the dense malevolent energy in this place also had a suppressive effect on spiritual senses, so the two did not notice the arrival of Yu Changsheng and the others.
Yu Changsheng paused, hiding in the shadows and silently observing the situation, without making any rash moves.
"These evil spirits are endless; they're really troublesome."
At this moment, the golden core in the dark red robe, hidden in the undercurrent, frowned and roared, controlling the Blood Fiend Giant to swing its fist downwards. In an instant, countless fiends howled and turned to ashes.
"It's all those good-for-nothings' fault. Was it really necessary to send so many people to hunt down Jing Xueyi?"
The cultivator in the dark red robe sneered, and once again a large number of evil spirits appeared.
"In my opinion, they're just insatiable lustful people. They're probably having fun with some young lady somewhere right now, and they don't even know when they'll come back. Don't you agree, Zimo?"
The Golden Core cultivator known as Zi Mo sighed helplessly, but he also somewhat agreed with what he said, chuckling, "These days, they've been suppressing themselves for too long in Martial Continent. It's not a big deal to let them vent their frustrations now that they finally have this opportunity."
As Zi Mo spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Jin Dan, who was wearing a dark red robe, and chuckled, "What's wrong, Meng Bo? Are you also regretting not chasing after them together?"
Meng Bo snorted coldly upon hearing this: "What nonsense. I just think these brats are too slow. If they were here, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and still haven't broken through."
"However," Meng Bo said, unconsciously licking his lips, a lewd glint in his eyes, and chuckled, "that little vixen Jing Xueyi is indeed a rare gem. If I weren't worried that you couldn't handle her by yourself, I would have been tempted myself."
"Now, those kids will be the ones who benefit."
As Meng Bo spoke, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. He clicked his tongue, seemingly feeling a little sorry.
Zi Mo was speechless, then shook his head and said, "Alright, since they're not coming, they won't get a share of the treasures when we clear this area of evil spirits and find these ruins. What's there to regret? There are plenty of women out there."
"However," Zi Mo frowned, muttering with some worry, "Logically speaking, with so many people going there and so much time spent dealing with Jing Xueyi, even if Jing Xueyi has some escape methods, we shouldn't still be unable to handle her by now."
"Could something have happened to them?"
Meng Bo was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. With their strength, even a Golden Core cultivator could put up a fight if they cooperated."
"Let's hurry up and get rid of these evil spirits so we can get our hands on the treasure behind them."
After speaking, Meng Bo controlled the Blood Fiend Giant to shake the ground. While annihilating a large number of fiends, his gaze swept past the horde of fiends and looked towards what lay behind them…
During their conversation, Meng Bo controlled the Blood Fiend Giant and clearly observed the evil spirits in the area.
Over time, it became clear that the Blood Demon Giant was covered in wounds, barely managing to maintain its form.
As for those in the undercurrents, they all looked exhausted, even the Golden Core cultivators Zi Mo and Meng Bo were panting.
Two days have passed since they started, but the evil spirits in this rift valley are not only endless, but also much stronger than those outside. More importantly, their abilities are strange, and they often cannot be killed in one go. It takes several attempts to completely eradicate them.
Fortunately, the long-term cleanup is coming to an end, and the remaining evil spirits will not last much longer. It is clear that the impact of the surrounding evil spirits has slowed down considerably.
"Just hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."
Meng Bo's face was somewhat pale. Looking at the others, he gritted his teeth and spoke words of comfort. When his gaze passed over the group of evil spirits and looked at what was behind them, a glint of fervor and greed flashed in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yu Changsheng and the others, who were secretly observing, also focused their gazes on the group of evil spirits.
"That is..."
Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and his expression changed slightly.
Behind the horde of demons, amidst a crimson glow, a gigantic hand could be discerned. Its wrist was broken, leaving only five fingers embedded in the ground.
These five fingers were enormous, each one taller than a person, and were entirely blood-red, exuding a black aura. An astonishing aura of bloodlust emanated from them, constantly spreading and falling into the demonic realm.
As the black energy merged with the evil spirits, their eyes turned crimson, and they became even more ferocious and violent. Their bodies also underwent a certain degree of mutation, which is why they possessed such a bizarre regenerative ability. This is also the main reason why the Dark Currents have not been able to subdue them for so long.
The five fingers, most of which had faded away, were devoid of life and their flesh and blood were blurred. However, the aura emanating from them still made Yu Changsheng and the others tremble with fear and their brows twitch.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Just as Yu Changsheng was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the voice of the Xuan Turtle let out a soft "Eh" and rang in Yu Changsheng's mind.
"You're really lucky to find such a treasure here."
Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he asked in his mind, "Senior Turtle, do you know what this is?"
"This..." Xuan Gui's voice was somewhat wistful, "This, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the finger of Chi Mei, one of the ancient mythical creatures."
"An ancient, wondrous demon, a dragon-like monster?"
Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, his interest growing even stronger.
"Hmm," the Xuan Turtle nodded and continued to explain, "I won't say much else, but you only know that each of the ancient strange demons possessed extraordinary abilities. And the Chi Mei, although not the strongest among them, also has its own unique characteristics."
"Judging from the condition of these fingers, this Chimei should have just come of age and just reached the Nascent Soul stage. However, even for a Purple Mansion cultivator, it would be an invaluable treasure, let alone for you."
As the Xuan Turtle explained, Yu Changsheng suddenly understood. When he heard that the Chimei had just come of age and was at the Nascent Soul stage, his heart skipped a beat and he was speechless. As a result, his gaze towards the Chimei's fingers unconsciously carried a trace of fervent light.
"The Chimei is a creature with bizarre supernatural powers. Although its physical body is not particularly outstanding, its illusion techniques are unparalleled in the world. It can kill people without them even realizing it, which makes many cultivators tremble with fear. It is extraordinary that such a being has perished in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm."
The black tortoise spoke up decisively, and then said:
"In short, now that we've encountered it, there's no reason for us to let go of this rare and precious treasure like the Chimei Finger. Let's wait until his group has cleared out the outer layer of evil spirits before we make our move."
"Come on, let's have one: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole
Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng regained his composure, nodded, and whispered a few words to Zhang Tianwen and the others. As a result, the group became even more discreet, carefully waiting for the right moment.
Thanks to the overwhelming evil spirits and dense evil energy as cover, and the fact that the group had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted, they did not notice Yu Changsheng and his group who were secretly watching them.
Not long after, after spending some more time, as the two Blood Fiend Giants disintegrated and the person in the Dark Current fell, the last Fiend Ghost was completely destroyed, and the appearance of the Chimei's five fingers was completely exposed to everyone. Instantly, the soaring fiend aura rose into the sky without any concealment.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A chilling wind howled, echoing for a long time beneath the rift, bringing with it a thick stench of blood. The five fingers of the demon were already highly rotten, with flesh and blood even falling away in some places, revealing the stark white bones beneath. Yet, one could still vaguely discern eerie patterns covering its surface, creating a somber atmosphere.
"The legendary demon... the Chimei Finger. With this thing, once fully refined, what hope is there of reaching the Purple Palace!"
With the complete exposure of the Chimei finger, Meng Bo, Zi Mo, and the others could no longer suppress their excitement. Their eyes burned with fervor, their breathing became slightly rapid, and they stared at the Chimei finger with infatuated expressions.
At this moment, their long-held tension completely relaxed, and they became dazed. Suddenly, the demonic finger emitted a seven-colored light, enveloping everyone in a hazy glow.
The seven-colored light, like a dream, enveloped everyone, including Yu Changsheng, without distinction.
Yu Changsheng's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes glazed over, his mind went blank for a moment, and as the world spun around him, the scene before his eyes changed.
All around, birds sang and flowers bloomed, a tranquil scene that felt strangely familiar.
"My disciple, wake up, wake up."
In the midst of chaos, a pair of warm, large hands gently stroked Yu Changsheng's cheeks, and a caring voice reached his ears.
"Master?"
Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, still slightly dazed, and looked around. The first thing he saw was Old Wei's kind face.
"Why are you sleeping here? If you're tired, go back to your room and rest."
With a concerned expression, Old Wei gently examined Yu Changsheng, exhaled slowly, and rubbed Yu Changsheng's shoulder before speaking.
"Oh? Okay, okay."
Yu Changsheng was taken aback, subconsciously nodded, then shook his head vigorously, a look of doubt flashing across his face. But upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing was wrong.
On Beast Taming Peak, the weather was fine and sunny, and everything seemed so familiar.
"Master..."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Changsheng hesitated and spoke softly.
"What's wrong, my disciple?"
Old Wei chuckled, looking at Yu Changsheng with a beaming smile. (End of Chapter)
