Chapter 459 Exorcising Demons and Devouring Monsters [Please Subscribe]

After examining the spiritual energy contained within the spirit crystal inside the giant tiger puppet, Zhou Chun finally decided to give it a try.

Even if the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was indeed playing hard to get, the spiritual power contained in the spiritual crystal within the giant tiger puppet and the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) of the golden-armored mountain-carrying tortoise stone could still protect him and give him a chance to return to the abyss to hide.

After he reached the ground and fled for over a thousand miles using the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" technique without seeing the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe appear, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Since that old devil is no longer here, he must have gone to Feng Kingdom to find help, and the help he found must be someone who can prevent me from escaping using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique that allows one to escape by using earth-遁术, ...

"In that case, I must seize this opportunity and give myself a chance to survive!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun did everything in his power to escape.

After he got tired of flying, he switched to the Thunder Dragon White, abandoning the relatively slower Stone and Wood Spirit.

After fleeing for most of the day, Zhou Chun finally flew out of the Desolate Spirit Desert!

"Phew, finally we've entered the wilderness!"

Above a lush mountain range, Zhou Chun, who had just flown out of the Desolate Spirit Desert, felt the incredibly rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here compared to the Desolate Spirit Desert, and breathed a sigh of relief once again.

To be honest, the spiritually thin environment of the Desolate Desert was absolutely disastrous for his performance.

The wilderness is much better.

Here, he and his spirit pets can fully utilize their strengths.

At this moment, Zhou Chun had the wooden spirit carry him in flight, and while flying, he circulated his cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his magical power.

After flying for more than two thousand miles, the Rejuvenation Pills he had taken had almost fully restored his magical power.

By this time, he had entered a region of the wilderness where spiritual energy was normal, and he even began to encounter third-tier demonic beasts.

Zhou Chun, who had been traveling non-stop, finally found a place to settle down and began to carefully consider his next move.

"Judging by the time, a day should have passed by now. That old devil must have already set off again and returned by now."

"If we calculate based on the time he appeared that day, and also factor in the distance I flew in that day, he should be able to catch up with me in a day at most!"

"I still have one day to prepare!"

A day is not a long time; it is certainly not enough for Zhou Chun to reach the Longyuanze area!

However, after careful consideration and recalling the general area map of the wilderness he had seen, Zhou Chun felt that he might be able to escape towards the headquarters of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Lin Hongyu, the current Supreme Elder of the Zhou family, was formerly a protector of the Crimson Dragon Hall of the Hualong Sect. At that time, she held a high position and had seen the general map of the wilderness created by the Hualong Sect.

After joining the Zhou family, she learned that the Zhou family had a secret base in the wilderness, so she naturally shared the general map of the wilderness with Zhou Chun and other high-ranking members of the Zhou family.

This map was drawn by the Golden Core stage elders of the Dragon Transformation Sect over many years, who personally traveled to various places to create it.

Many details may not have been marked, but the general topography, such as mountains, rivers, and lakes, has certainly been marked.

If Zhou Chun can find the corresponding place, he should be able to determine his approximate location and know which way to go.

Upon realizing this, Zhou Chun immediately took action.

He first drew a rough map of the wilderness near Feng Kingdom on the large map based on his memory, and then memorized the terrain of the mountains and rivers on it.

Then it flew into the sky and began its journey.

After flying hundreds of miles, Zhou Chun finally determined his approximate location by comparing it with some landmarks such as mountains, rivers, and lakes on the ground.

The situation was similar to what he had expected. He was now relatively closer to the headquarters of the Hualong Sect, only about five or six thousand miles away.

Upon discovering this, Zhou Chun immediately rushed towards the headquarters of the Hualong Sect at full speed.

On the other side, when the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe arrived at the location of the abyss from Feng Kingdom with a burly man in a yellow robe, he knew he had come to nothing.

But relying on the location of "Blood Soul Guide", he quickly persuaded the yellow-robed man to follow him and chase after Zhou Chun in the direction he had fled.

After chasing for several hours, they arrived at the wilderness.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, further ahead lies the desolate wilderness occupied by the demon race. It is said that the Dragon Abyss Flood Dragon Clan, who rules this wilderness, deeply despises human cultivators and forbids any human cultivators from operating there. That junior who killed your son escaped into it, I fear he intends to use the power of high-level demon beasts to deal with you and me!"

At the border between the Desolate Desert and the Wilderness, Zheng Kun, a burly man in a yellow robe, looked at the middle-aged man in a blood-red robe beside him, his tone suggesting a hint of retreat.

He was brought in by the blood-robed middle-aged man to deal with the late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator the man mentioned, purely because the blood-robed middle-aged man was willing to owe him a favor, and also because he was curious about the secrets about Zhou Chun that the blood-robed middle-aged man had mentioned.

However, if he were to venture deeper into the wilderness, the favor he received from the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe seemed insufficient to warrant the risk.

Upon hearing his words, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe naturally understood his meaning.

While inwardly cursing his insatiable greed, he immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, there's no need to worry. This wilderness is vast, and the location of Dragon Abyss Marsh is thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away. That junior couldn't possibly have traveled that far in such a short time!"

"Furthermore, with your mastery of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows you to escape through earth), even if you encounter a high-grade fourth-tier demonic beast, as long as the opponent isn't also skilled in earth-遁, it will be unable to harm you in the slightest!"

At this point, he gritted his teeth and added, "Of course, I know that doing this will put Fellow Daoist Zheng at some risk. Therefore, after killing that junior, I am willing to give you another [Blood Essence Replenishing Pill] as a reward. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Zheng?"

Upon hearing the name "Blood Essence Replenishing Pill," a glint flashed in the eyes of the burly man in the yellow robe. He immediately chuckled and said, "Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Yan is straightforward. Then let's not waste any more time and hurry up and catch up with that junior to kill him!"

"That's natural!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe responded, and immediately he and the man in the yellow robe transformed into streaks of blood-red light and yellow light, respectively, and rushed into the wilderness.

This is also because the two of them, being outsiders, were like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, and their awe of the wilderness was not as profound as that of the native cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

If it were a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, they would never venture so easily into the wilderness.

After venturing thousands of miles into the wilderness, the two arrived above a large swamp where mist rose from the ground.

The two descended in a beam of light above the swamp, and the burly man in yellow robes, Zheng Kun, immediately burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this desolate land is truly a treasure trove! We've only been traveling, yet we've already encountered several third-tier demonic beasts with extraordinary bloodlines, obtaining several demon cores and top-grade blood food. Once we've firmly established ourselves in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, our Beast Demon Palace must definitely get involved here!"

Because of their cultivation techniques and expertise, the Beast Demon Palace has always had a great need for demon beast resources.

Moreover, the Beast Demon Palace sometimes doesn't care about the quality of the beast's bloodline, but rather values ​​the usefulness of the beast's supernatural powers and spells.

After all, even if they are infused with the bloodline of a low-level demon beast, it will not affect the cultivators of the Beast Demon Palace from opening their Purple Mansion and forming their Core in the future. In essence, they are still human cultivators, and their cultivation speed and upper limit are determined by their spiritual root aptitude and cultivation techniques.

Therefore, wild and untamed places like the Wilderness, inhabited by various monsters, became very important to them.

If they could claim a piece of land here as the Beast Demon Palace's Beast Garden to cultivate various demonic beasts, the future disciples of the Beast Demon Palace would have a much wider range of choices, and the overall strength of the sect would increase accordingly.

As for the man in the yellow robe, the several third-tier demonic beasts he killed along the way, along with their corpses, were also a considerable gain.

At least back in the Yuanmo territory, it wouldn't have been easy for him to find so many third-tier demonic beasts.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had been yielding to the burly man in the yellow robe all the way because he needed the man's help.

Upon hearing his words, she didn't respond, but instead looked at the water below with a surprised expression and said, "Strange, why did that young man choose such a watery place as his hiding place? Could there be some danger underwater?"

"Hmm, that is indeed strange. You should know that there are crisscrossing water veins beneath this swamp, which is the most taboo place for us cultivators who practice earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of technique that allows one to escape from the ground). Isn't he just tying his own hands by hiding down there?"

As Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, spoke, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe and said, "Why don't you send down a blood-bone puppet to scout the situation, Fellow Daoist Yan?"

"Very well, then I, Yan, will give it a try!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe nodded slightly, then patted his storage bag at his waist and took out a blood-bone puppet.

The blood bone puppet he took out now was certainly not a fourth-tier puppet; it was merely a high-grade third-tier puppet.

At this moment, he threw the puppet into the swamp and then used his divine sense to control the puppet to dive towards the place where Zhou Chun was hiding.

This is one of the advantages of a puppet body; even without knowing the art of water repellency, one can easily dive into water thousands of feet deep by virtue of the strength of its own material.

However, this naturally caused quite a stir.

Before the third-tier high-grade puppet could even descend to the vicinity of Zhou Chun's hiding place, it was discovered by a third-tier mid-grade water demon and attacked it.

In the water, the Blood Bone Puppet's strength is somewhat diminished. Even with the divine sense control of a Golden Core cultivator, it cannot quickly eliminate this mid-grade third-tier water demon.

Moreover, not long after the battle began, a blue beam of light suddenly shot out from the depths of the water, instantly shattering the blood bone puppet into pieces!

"How is it? Have you made any discoveries, Fellow Daoist Yan?"

Above the water, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, heard a muffled groan from the middle-aged man in the blood robe and knew that his blood bone puppet was probably gone. He immediately asked about the situation.

"My puppet encountered a mid-grade third-tier water demon shortly after it went down. After a fierce battle, it was destroyed by an attack from a fourth-tier demon beast, and it didn't even have time to reach that junior's location!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe didn't hide anything and immediately recounted his discovery.

Upon hearing his description, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, suddenly had a glint in his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Then, Fellow Daoist Yan, do you know what level of cultivation that fourth-tier demonic beast that attacked you was?"

"I didn't realize it in the rush, but I estimate it's not a high-grade fourth-tier demonic beast!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe shook his head slightly and answered softly.

Then, he and the yellow-robed giant Zheng Kun suddenly focused their gazes, as if they had discovered something, and they both shouted and activated their supernatural powers to protect themselves.

Boom! Boom!

Just as the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators finished preparing their defenses, two azure lightning balls burst out of the water and exploded beside them.

The powerful explosion sent both of them flying dozens of feet away before they regained their footing.

"What a powerful [Sunflower Water Divine Lightning]! This demon's cultivation has already reached the mid-fourth rank; its strength should not be underestimated!"

Zheng Kun, a burly man in a yellow robe, held a large, earth-yellow seal-like magical artifact in his hand, surrounded by yellow light, and solemnly announced his discovery.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, you hold this beast back. I, Yan, will personally go into the water and kill that brat. What do you say?"

"Alright, I'll give it a try!"

With a loud shout, the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, threw the earthen-yellow seal magic weapon in his hand into the air. A burst of yellow spiritual light burst out from the seal and, under his divine sense, transformed into a yellow spear that shot towards a certain spot underwater.

He then formed hand seals, raised his hand and pressed down, and a giant, earth-yellow palm formed of yellow light slammed down on the water below like Mount Tai crashing down.

On the other hand, after obtaining his consent, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe instantly transformed into a streak of blood light and flew away from the place. He then plunged straight into the water, attempting to bypass the battlefield and head towards Zhou Chun's hiding place.

But it turns out that this approach simply doesn't work.

All of Zheng Kun's probing attacks were swallowed up by a huge whirlpool after he fell into the water, without even touching the monster's true form.

As soon as the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe entered the water, he was suddenly bombarded by several lightning balls formed by the [Sunflower Water Divine Lightning].

Clearly, the aquatic monster was extremely determined to protect its territory and would not allow any Golden Core cultivators to enter the vicinity of its lair.

Faced with this situation, the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators also found it very difficult.

They didn't want to fight a mid-grade fourth-tier demonic beast head-on, especially on its home turf.

However, the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe could not allow his son's killer to go unpunished.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe quickly flew away from the water and then transmitted his voice to Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, let's join forces to deal with this beast first, let him see our power, and then I will find an opportunity to expose that junior's figure, so that this beast will back down and let you and I deal with that junior!"

"Alright, we'll do as Fellow Daoist Yan says!"

The burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, immediately agreed.

The two then unleashed their respective magical weapons to launch a fierce attack on the water monster.

With the combined attack of the two, the true form of the water monster was quickly revealed.

That was a giant, blue-black turtle!

This turtle was enormous, over thirty feet long from head to tail. Judging from its aura, it was almost on par with a fourth-tier high-grade demon beast.

"What kind of demonic beast is this? Fellow Daoist Zheng, do you recognize it?"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe looked at the giant turtle that had erected a blue water curtain to block his attack, and asked the yellow-robed man Zheng Kun about the giant turtle's situation with great surprise.

Although he was well-informed, he really couldn't recognize the origin of this giant turtle.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Zheng Kun, a Golden Core cultivator from the Beast Demon Palace who could identify all beasts, shook his head repeatedly and said, "I, Zheng, also cannot discern the origin of this demon. It is likely a demon beast that has mutated and evolved from some kind of third-tier demon beast!"

"Never mind that, let's work together to break its shell first!"

As the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe spoke, he suddenly threw the white bone blood banner in his hand into the air. He quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a burst of magic power at it. Instantly, the banner transformed into a flag spear and flew towards the giant turtle.

Upon seeing this, the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, let out a low shout and pointed his finger. The earthen-yellow seal in the sky suddenly swelled in size, transforming into a giant seal tens of feet wide, which crashed down fiercely onto the water below.

The two magical treasures combined their power in one strike, instantly changing the landscape.

The moment the first crimson banner spear touched the blue water curtain, it immediately burst forth with thousands of crimson lights, turning the entire marshland into a lake of blood!

Then the blue water curtain began to shatter inch by inch.

But then the giant turtle raised its head and spat out a powerful blue beam of light that crashed into the blood-red flag spear.

After a brief standoff, the blood-red flag spear was actually forced flying away!

But at that moment, the giant, earthen-yellow seal also crashed down.

However, the giant turtle showed no alarm whatsoever.

Blue light surged from the top of its shell, and the water-based spiritual energy of the surrounding world was used by it, instantly forming a super-large water curtain barrier to support the falling giant seal!

"Disaster!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out from above the marsh.

The giant seal magic weapon, which was originally supported by the water curtain barrier, suddenly flashed with yellow light and released an astonishing tremor.

In an instant, the water curtain barrier, which had been as stable as Mount Tai, was shattered with cracks and finally exploded with a loud "bang".

Then the giant seal slammed down onto the giant turtle's shell without any further obstruction.

This blow clearly hurt the giant turtle, causing it to let out a painful scream. Then, its body erupted with blue light, sending the giant seal flying.

But at that moment, the blood-red flag spear that had been blasted away returned, its even more ferocious thrust piercing through the blue spiritual light on the giant turtle's body and striking its left forelimb.

Then, the White Bone Blood Banner activated its blood-absorbing and blood-transforming divine power, and the giant turtle's essence blood surged uncontrollably towards the White Bone Blood Banner, bringing it even greater pain and fear than before.

Terrified, it hurriedly spat out a blue demon core that struck the white bone blood banner, using the power of the demon core to blast the blood-sucking magic weapon away.

But after being injured twice, it knew that it was no match for the two human cultivators in front of it.

So it quickly moved, using water escape techniques to leave its original spot and flee directly towards its lair.

Its lair is located in a deep abyss at the bottom of the water. If two human cultivators dare to go there, it may well fight them again.

As a fourth-tier demon beast with considerable intelligence, the giant turtle naturally understood how to leverage its advantages.

Faced with the giant turtle's escape, neither the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe nor the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, tried to stop it, knowing they couldn't.

"Chase him! Now that this beast is out of our way, let's see what tricks that brat has up his sleeve!"

With a low shout, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe took the lead, riding the blood-red light to chase after the giant turtle.

Although Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, did not want to go into the water, seeing that the goal of this trip was about to be achieved, he had no choice but to follow along for the benefits promised by the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe.

"Damn it, even this giant turtle isn't a match for that old devil?"

Somewhere underwater, Zhou Chun, sensing the giant turtle's chaotic aura as it retreated towards its lair, immediately cried out in alarm.

He carefully selected the area near the giant turtle's lair as his hiding place.

The main reason is that the giant turtle likes to sleep, which makes it easier for him to sneak into the vicinity of his lair undetected.

Moreover, the giant turtle, with its strength approaching that of a fourth-tier high-grade demon beast, is the strongest demon beast that can be found within a radius of several thousand miles.

As for the headquarters of the Dragon Transformation Sect, how could Zhou Chun possibly go there? If he went there, he would probably be captured or killed first!

According to his plan, if the giant turtle could fight the blood-robed middle-aged man and his group for a day or two, it should be able to attract other fourth-order demonic beasts or cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect thousands of miles away.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe and his gang will definitely be in deep trouble.

Unexpectedly, the giant turtle was so useless, fleeing back to its lair in less than half an hour of fighting with the enemy.

In this way, Zhou Chun became trapped like a turtle in a jar, and dared not show his face!

"What should we do now? What are we going to do?!"

Inside the underwater cave, Zhou Chun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

His strength was indeed unmatched within the Purple Mansion stage, but against a Golden Core stage cultivator, being able to withstand a few moves was something he could boast about to anyone.

"Do we really have to take the risk and use that move?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Zhou Chun's eyes, and he couldn't help but reach for the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

He actually had another risky move, which was to let Lei Jiao come out for nothing and take the initiative to deal with the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators.

This is certainly not an expectation that the Thunder Flood Dragon will lure away two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators or injure them for nothing.

Instead, it allowed Lei Jiao to be surrounded and killed by two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators for nothing, forcing the giant turtle to do its best to rescue him.

After all, Lei Jiao Bai Bai is a dragon with superior dragon bloodline aptitude. Without knowing the inside story, the giant turtle would most likely not dare to let such a dragon clan genius die outside its nest, otherwise it could not afford to offend the dragon clan.

But if we choose to do that, we will be putting Lei Jiao in a life-or-death situation for nothing!
