The Great Wild God - Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Thousand Devil Realm
After finding a relatively safe stone cave, Chen Xun and Li Yu hid inside and took out the Thorn Snakes from their little Cosmos Sacks.

Li Yu peeled off the skin and took out the scales.

Chen Xun fused with the remnant soul of the Thorn Snake and attempted to refine the puppet battle soul.

The Soul Locking Seal had all sorts of wondrous uses, one of which was to seal the divine soul. The puppet battle soul that he refined was naturally also sealed inside the Soul Locking Seal.

As long as he could refine a few Soul Locking Seals, he would be able to refine multiple puppet battle souls.

With enough low-grade puppet souls, Chen Xun would be able to merge with his own divine soul fate essence and refine higher-grade puppet souls.

However, unlike the remnants of other dead desolate beasts, When Chen Xunrong refined the remnant soul of the Thorned Snake, he sensed an extremely large and violent demonic aura from the remnant soul of the Thorned Snake. The moment his Spiritual Sense touched it, it rushed towards his divine soul like a dark black cloud. After invading his body, it transformed into a gale and waves that charged straight into his spiritual sea, intending to tear his divine soul into pieces.

Chen Xun’s divine soul and life force were far more powerful than ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivators. Feeling that something was wrong, he recited the Concentration Curse to suppress the backlash of the Thorn Snake’s remnant soul.

However, when Chen Xun was sweating profusely and refined the profound evil aura, he discovered that the remnant soul of the Thorn Snake wasn’t necessarily stronger than the low-grade desolate beasts that could be seen in the sand sea.

Chen Xun gave up on refining the other Thorn Snake remnant souls and told Li Yu about the scene of the Thorn Snake remnant soul devouring back then.

“Look at this!” Li Yu wielded a bonesetting knife and cut open the abdomen of a thorn snake along its ventral line. A blood-colored Origin Pill the size of a pigeon egg blossomed and rolled out of the snake’s abdomen.

“It can’t be?” Chen Xun knew that these Thorn Snakes were extremely difficult to deal with, but he could not imagine that these were all Core Formation demonic beasts.

He picked up the blood-colored Origin Pill and could sense the flow of spirit energy within it. It was indeed very similar to the Origin Pill mentioned in the ancient books. However, when humans and beasts advanced into the Origin Pill Realm, they cultivated Origin Pills in myriad different forms. However, Chen Xun had never heard of anyone cultivating a blood-red Origin Pill.

Li Yu frowned and said worriedly, “This isn’t an Origin Pill. This is a Blood Pill. It can only be condensed by consuming a large amount of flesh and blood essence. Cloud Continent used to have a Thousand Devil Sect that specialized in Blood Pills. After being annihilated by the various sects, I also read about Blood Pills from the remnants of the Thousand Sword Sect.”

“Could it be that the Thousand Devil Sect has revived in the depths of Tu Mountain?” Chen Xun asked in surprise.

“Back then, the Thousand Devil Sect was also a disciple who cultivated Blood Pills. I’ve never heard of a low-level desolate beast like the Thorn Snake cultivating Blood Pills, unless it was affected by the demon fiend leaking out of the Thousand Devil Realm …” Although Li Yu’s spirit vein injuries hadn’t healed yet, He even wanted Chen Xun’s protection when he fought against the Thorned Snake, but when it came to Li Yu, who had experienced and lived for nearly 120 years, Chen Xun was not comparable.

However, the demonic aura that had invaded Chen Xun’s body, the Blood Pill in front of him, and the various abnormalities that had occurred during the fierce battle with the Thorned Snake caused Li Yu to be deeply worried.

“Thousand Devil Realm?” Chen Xun asked doubtfully.

Chen Xun was no stranger to the Three Thousand Worlds.

He was the Six-Armed Giant Demon that broke through space and brought him to the Heavenly Domain of Cloud Continent.

As for the Void Origin Pearl that he refined into the depths of his divine soul, although it could not be considered a spiritual world, it could still be considered a seed of a spiritual world.

Inside the Void Origin Pearl, it could be said to be the Void Origin Space. Once it was upgraded to the real Lesser Thousand Worlds, it could be said to be the Void Origin Realm.

The realm here truly referred to space and the world. It was completely different from the cultivation realm.

As for the Heavenly Domain of Cloud Continent, it was completely isolated from the vast majority of Spirit Heavenly Domains. Only experts above the Nirvana Realm would be able to open the spatial barrier.

There were also some spaces where there were unstable spatial rifts with Cloud Continent that could allow human beasts to pass through. Cloud Continent called the spaces that could be entered through the rifts a secret realm.

However, although Chen Xun had been in Cloud Continent for more than three years, he had been hiding and had limited contact with Cloud Continent cultivators. He knew that there was a secret realm, but he didn’t know exactly what was going on.

“It is said that there are cracks that allow one to enter and exit the secret realm, but these cracks are extremely unstable. There is a heavenly astral storm that is even more violent than the Heavenly Flame. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even Celestial Gods and Devils, wanting to enter the secret realm through these cracks is an extremely dangerous thing. Apart from that, spatial rifts can also exist for decades, and after hundreds of years, they will disappear out of thin air, not forever. ”

Li Yu opened the stomachs of the other Thorn Snakes to see if there were any Blood Pills, while telling Chen Xun some secret realm rumors,

“In ancient times, there were some sects that refined formations to stabilize these cracks. In a very short period of time, they could also form a stable path to send disciples into the secret realm and collect cultivation resources. Over the past tens of thousands of years, too many ancient sects had been annihilated in the long river of history, and many secret realms had become legends because of the disappearance of spatial rifts. At this time, there are still some small and medium secret realms within the four domains of Cloud Continent. They are controlled by the Imperial Clan and the Seven Sects. Every once in a while, the Imperial Clan and the Seven Sects will open these secret realms’ passageways, allowing all sects and sects under the heavens to send their disciples into them to cultivate and collect cultivation resources … ”

“The Thousand Devil Realm is also one of them?” Chen Xun asked.

Li Yu shook his head and said, “The Thousand Devil Realm has existed for an extremely short period of time, less than a thousand years. However, no sect has ever been able to control the passage to the Thousand Devil Realm, and even suffered a great deal from it.” “The territory of the Thousand Devils is filled with demonic spiritual energy. Once a spatial rift appears, the demonic spiritual energy leaks into Cloud Continent. It is several times more violent and powerful than all the spiritual energy in Cloud Continent. At the same time, it can distort the intelligence of humans and beasts. It was during that period that the Thousand Devil Sect appeared. All of its disciples cultivated Devil Fiends, condensed Blood Pills from the essence of human and animal flesh and blood, and traversed the Northern Wilderness for a time. Back then, several sects that were even more powerful than the Divine Night Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect were annihilated by the Thousand Devil Sect. In the previous dynasty, the Ji Clan had suffered heavy casualties and their strength had been severely weakened, so they were replaced by the Jiang Clan four thousand years ago. Afterwards, everyone discovered that not only could humans cultivate demonic fiends, even desolate beasts could condense blood pills by devouring large amounts of flesh and blood under the influence of demonic fiends that penetrated through spatial rifts. Apart from that catastrophe, in the past four thousand years, there were also occasional cracks connected to the Thousand Devil Realm, but they were quickly sealed by the various sects. Whether this is the case or not, I still need to see it again … ”

Hearing Li Yu’s words, Chen Xun felt that the problem was serious.

If there really was a spatial rift in the depths of Tu Shandong Ridge that was connected to the Thousand Devil Realm, it would probably bring an unspeakable calamity to the entire Cloud Continent.

Chen Xun and Li Yu chopped open dozens of Thorn Snakes one after another and found a total of six Blood Pills.

This result was enough to make Chen Xun and Li Yu stunned. No wonder the battle just now was so arduous. He didn’t know how much flesh and blood these six spiked snakes that were most likely affected by the Demonic Spirit Qi could swallow before forming a Blood Bleeding Pill in their bodies.

However, what worried Chen Xun and Li Yu even more was that these blood pills contained strands of demonic aura.

At this moment, the sounds of intense fighting could be heard from afar.

Chen Xun and Li Yu quietly climbed up the cliff from the stone hut and passed through the dense forest. Surprisingly, there were seven people in the valley in front of them who were entangled by more than thirty Blue-backed Wolves, making it difficult for them to escape. Seeing that they were all wearing black armor, they were surprisingly Mansion of Marquis Martial’s men and horses.

The Blue-backed Wolf was also known as the sand wolf. It was a common desolate beast in the Wuteng Sand Sea. Its body was similar to the Azure Water Desolate Beast’s Blue Wolf. Its bronze head and iron back were not inferior to the Blue Wolf, but it was not much stronger.

However, the group of Blue-backed Wolves that surrounded the Black-armored Cavalry of Marquis Yuan Wu’s Mansion in the valley was clearly more ferocious than the Blue-backed Wolves Chen Xun had seen in the desert of the sand sea.

The black-armored cavalry of the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty were mainly cultivators above the Reincarnation Realm. Even the iron pillars could be discounted. However, when they hit the iron back of the Blue-backed Wolf, a string of lightning and stone flames flew out. It was uncomfortable for the Blue-backed Wolf at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xun and Li Yu were also secretly shocked. If they hadn’t encountered more than a dozen Thorn Snakes earlier, they would have been surrounded by this pack of Blue-backed Wolves. It would have been difficult for them to escape.

The few black-armored cavalry from the Marquis Mansion of Yuan Wu had intruded into the depths of Tu Mountain, so they naturally came to chase after him and Li Yu.

After Chen Xun and Li Yu entered the depths of the Absolute Mountain Ridge, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to disappear. In fact, after they entered the depths of the Absolute Mountain Ridge, desolate beasts like the Thorn Snake were especially sensitive to unfamiliar auras. This made Chen Xun and Li Yu find it very difficult to hide their tracks like before.

Even though it was easier than ever to discover Chen Xun and the others’ whereabouts, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing for the Yuan Marquis Manor to chase them deep into the mountains.

The scene below the valley was a living example.

Chen Xun and Li Yucong heard the commotion and sneaked closer. At most, one cup of tea had passed. However, several riding beasts had already died in a pool of blood. Seven black-armored cavalry were trapped under the cliff. Two of them were seriously injured, while the other five were only struggling to support themselves.

Although they had already killed five Blue-backed Wolves in such a short period of time, it was far from enough for them to break out of the encirclement.

Just like what Chen Xun and the others had encountered before, they couldn’t use magic tools or spiritual swords to distance themselves from this pack of Blue-backed Wolves. They could only fight close to each other. This was the most severe test for the Black-armored Cavalry who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

Even if he could use a spell like the Ice Cone Rock Thorn to attack the Blue-backed Wolf, it wouldn’t be much better than directly wielding the Blue-backed Wolf and the Blue-backed Wolf’s halberd.

Chen Xun and Li Yu could still vaguely feel the familiar demonic aura as the Blue-backed Wolf pounced on them from thousands of feet away.

Chen Xun and Li Yu were also shocked. If it was just the alienation of a dozen Thorn Snakes, there might be other reasons. Now that even this group of Blue-backed Wolves had alienated, the problem was really serious.

Chen Xun and Li Yu quietly retreated more than a thousand feet behind the mountain to avoid being sensed by this pack of Blue-backed Wolves.

Soon, the five black-armored cavalry would be forced to abandon their seriously injured comrades and climb the cliff to break out of the encirclement.

As for this pack of Blue-backed Wolves, their agility was no less than that of the Black-armored Cavalry Generals. They left behind a few afterimages in midair, biting down on the Black-armored Cavalry Generals and chasing after them in the distance.

Chen Xun naturally wouldn’t save these people from the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty, but he wasn’t in the mood to gloat when he saw this scene.

He and Li Yu slid down the valley and put a few Blue-backed Wolves killed by the Black-armored Cavalry into their spatial rings. They didn’t dare to stop for a moment before sneaking in another direction.
