The Great Wild God - Chapter 217
Chapter 217 Heavenly Demon’s Heart
The Divine Night Sect was divided into seven meridians, and not all the disciples of the various peaks could live in harmony.
From Xia Xiangyi, Chang Xi, Fang Xiaohan, Jiang Ke, Zhao Chengen, and other direct disciples’ words and deeds, Chen Xun could tell that there were actually quite a few contradictions among the disciples of the various peaks.
However, no matter how deep the conflict was, everyone was fellow grandmaster brothers. Chen Xun believed that Xia Xiangyi and the others would not dare to openly harm Zhao Chengen.
From Gu Chengzhuo’s expression, Chen Xun guessed that Zhao Chengen had probably suffered an unspeakable loss. As for Xia Xiangyi, leaving Zhao Chengen, who had suffered heavy injuries, in such a dangerous place and handing him over to more than a dozen disciples of the Heavenly Punishment Peak to protect him, it was more or less inexcusable.
Chen Xun laughed coldly in his heart. Only when there were conflicts within the Divine Night Sect did he have a chance.
If Su Qingfeng and Su Quan hadn’t fought for the position of Commandant Su Wu’s Manor Master, and Su Lingyin and Su Fuchen had secretly disagreed, how could he have the qualifications to challenge Ghost Faction?
Chang Xi didn’t say anything. She took out the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array and released four bottles of Flood Dragon Spirit Statues, washing away the surrounding demonic beasts to relieve the pressure Gu Chengzhuo and the others were under.
However, the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array was unable to quickly gather spiritual energy due to the dense demonic fiends in the snake’s den. The spiritual energy it had absorbed earlier could only last for an incense stick of time.
Chen Xun also threw aside the dilapidated Xuanyang Spirit Armor and put on a new one.
Lei Wanhe leaned over and said, “Lend me the Blazing Sun Shield again …”
Chen Xun smiled and didn’t say yes or no.
Lei Wanhe said awkwardly, “Yu Wenying told Senior Brother Xia about the location of the snake acupoint. I thought there were so many people and so much strength that I found Senior Brother Zhao Chengen. I didn’t expect that I almost killed Senior Brother Zhao Chengen.”
Lei Wanhe was a disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Peak, and he had cultivated in Zhao Cheng’en’s cave valley in the past. Because he owed Chang Xi a huge debt, he had no choice but to go to Cuiwei Lake to raise a crane to repay the debt.
Yu Wenying told him about the snake hole first. Lei Wanhe would not be ungrateful if he went to find Zhao Chengen.
However, Chen Xun knew how useful the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield was, so he naturally wouldn’t lend it to Lei Wanhe.
He also had a Profound Yang Spirit Armor in his pocket. He took it out and handed it to Lei Wanhe, saying, “I’ll sell you one ingot of Crimson Black Gold.”
Only spirit artifacts of the Xuanyang attribute weren’t afraid of being corroded by the demon fiend. Without the protection of the Xuanyang spirit armor, it wouldn’t be easy for any demon rat to pounce on it and take a bite, even if the demon fiend invaded its body. Lei Wanhe gritted his teeth and took it. With a bitter face, he said, “Put it on the account first.”
Hold on for a moment, and when Zhao Cheng’en can stand up and walk, Chen Xun and the others will leave the open cavern and drill into a narrow hole.
The entrance to the narrow hole was only thirty to forty feet tall. Chen Xun and the others didn’t feel crowded as they walked inside, but it was not easy for them to drill into the hole together with the tens of feet long snakes and other enormous demonic beasts.
They didn’t dare to waste their Spiritual Energy lightly. Everyone tried their best to use Spiritual Talismans to transform into thick stone walls. They used the advantageous terrain of the narrow hole to block the magical creatures and demonic beasts from entering the cave.
The underground snake cave stretched out in all directions, and the stone wall sealed one end of the narrow cave. Intense fighting sounds could be heard from the other side of the cave.
**********************
After Zhao Cheng’en had completely dissolved the demonic fiend in his body and his cultivation had recovered to seventy to eighty percent, Chen Xun and the others continued to drill deeper into the snake’s den.
As a direct descendant of the Heavenly Punishment Peak, Zhao Cheng’en also had a cultivation of the middle Heavenly Yuan Stage. In addition, Chang Xi, Gu Cheng Zhuo, Chen Xun, Lei Wan He, and the others who were holding the eight-pronged lightning hammer could be said to be extremely powerful.
In the labyrinth-like snake den, the small number of demonic beasts was simply not enough for them to see. After traveling for 70 to 80 kilometers, Chen Xun and the others finally found Xia Xiangyi and the others.
As he emerged from a narrow cave entrance, Chen Xun saw a gigantic palace that was more than a thousand feet wide, as if it was hidden deep within the Tu Mountain.
Beneath Chen Xun’s feet was a cliff that was thirty to forty feet tall. There were many holes in the walls of the giant cave that connected to the underground maze in all directions, and they didn’t know where to go.
The dark river that Chen Xun’s spiritual sense had seen through the giant snake puppet was in the middle of the giant cavern. It was about thirty to fifty acres in size. For some reason, it had already frozen, and the surface of the ice was completely black.
The Giant Snake Heavenly Demon’s tail, which was thicker than a millstone, was frozen beneath the profound ice. Its enormous body, which was sixty to seventy feet tall, was exposed to the surface of the ice. Both of its hands were holding the broken halberd. Turning around, its pair of scarlet red eyes were like two searchlights, illuminating the giant cave in a strange and eerie manner.
The Heavenly Yao’s entire body was covered in huge wounds, and large patches of azure-black flesh and blood were peeling off, falling onto the surface of the ice. “Zi Zi” sounds resembled pieces of burning iron …
Although the surface of the ice sealed the dark river, the demon fiend still surged out, turning into black mist that rose up.
The Heavenly Yao was more like a giant suction cup, sucking the black mist into his body and repairing the heavy injuries to his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was the first time Chen Xun had seen a scene outside of him where he had used spiritual energy to reconstruct his body. He felt that this serpent demon had been cultivating in the depths of the Tu Mountain for thousands of years. He didn’t understand why this serpent demon hadn’t evaded when the spatial rift in the Thousand Demons Realm appeared. Instead, it cultivated demonic fiends here.
He thought to himself that desolate beasts might not have the same thoughts of good and evil as humans, so cultivating demon fiends and devouring flesh and blood was a nature that desolate beasts could not suppress even after they had developed their intelligence.
Although the speed of absorbing demonic fiends to repair his wounds was fast, the Heavenly Yao’s injuries were even more severe. Chen Xun looked around. At the edge of the Heavenly Yao’s eye-catching wounds, he could see traces of dark red flames drilling deep into the Heavenly Yao’s bones. The corroded flesh and blood continued to peel off, like rocks that had been weathered for tens of thousands of years.
This scene was shocking, and what was even more shocking was that on the bank of the dark river, hundreds of demonic beasts were crazily attacking Xia Xiangyi and the others who were trapped in the middle. There were even demonic beasts constantly coming out of the holes in the four walls.
There were demonic snakes that were ten zhang long, fierce apes with grey red eyes, demonic foxes that jumped and bit, demonic rats that flapped their wings, and all of them were extremely powerful. They pounced from all directions towards the array of disciples of the various sects on the left side of the Dark River, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere.
A few intelligent demonic beasts even took out blood pills and used them as magic tools to attack the disciples of the various sects. Evolution of poisonous fog, poisonous flames, poisonous rain, and other spells didn’t seem very impressive, but the demonic fiends they contained were extremely dense. Normally, they would cause the disciples of the various sects to be in a mess for a while.
Chen Xun knew from Gu Chengzhuo that they had entered the snake den an incense earlier than them. The key was that they had wasted some time in the maze caves.
The disciples of the various sects had been fighting against the Heavenly Yao and many other demonic beasts for quite some time. The situation seemed to be precarious, but with a black flood dragon ring protecting them, they were able to withstand most of the attacks of the demonic beasts.
The black flood dragon roared, shaking the four walls with a buzzing sound. Under its sharp claws, the rock-solid snake could easily be torn in half.
The Black Flood Dragon was formed from Spiritual Essence and was corroded by Demon Fiend. As long as enough Spiritual Essence was added, it would be able to recover at any time.
Seeing the ice that sealed the dark river, Chen Xun thought of the Eight Desolate Spirit Flag in Jiang Xingkong’s hand.
Unlike other magical artifacts, the Eight Desolate Spirit Flag took root on the ground and was capable of grounding spiritual energy and evolving supreme magical power.
Although the Eight Desolate Spirit Flag had the drawbacks of taking root on the ground, it was the only treasure that could endlessly borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under such circumstances.
Carefully distinguishing between them, Chen Xun saw Jiang Xingkong through the cracks in the crowd. He was wearing black armor and sitting cross-legged in the array. He was using the Black Flood Dragon to resist the siege of the demonic beasts without any distractions. At the same time, he also used profound ice to seal the Heavenly Demon’s snake tail in the dark river …
Looking at this situation, Chen Xun knew that Xia Xiangyi, Jiang Bin, Jiang Xingkong, and the others had placed a heavy burden this time.
If they couldn’t successfully kill the Heavenly Yao, they wouldn’t be able to take away the Eight Desolate Flag that had taken root on the ground when they escaped.
Even though the Heavenly Yao was heavily injured, the fact that the Eight Desolate Flag was able to seal the Heavenly Yao within the profound ice shocked Chen Xun endlessly. He thought to himself, No wonder Chang Xi saw Jiang Xingkong take out the Eight Desolate Flag and flee in defeat?
Apart from Jiang Xingkong borrowing the Eight Desolate Flag to help many disciples defend against the surrounding demonic beasts and use profound ice to seal the Heavenly Yao, Xia Xiangyi, Jiang Bin, Zhou Yang, and the others standing in front of the array also had expressions of utter discomfort. They were using their magic tools to attack the Heavenly Yao’s body.
At this time, Xia Xiangyi also saw them come out of the cave entrance. She raised her voice and said, “Junior Brother Chengen, it’s good that you are safe and envious. Quickly help us kill this Giant Snake Heavenly Demon with Chang Xi’s help. Your contribution is indispensable!”
Although a few demonic beasts turned around and attacked, Zhao Cheng’en and Chang Xi had already recovered their cultivation. The spirit swords vibrated, killing the demonic beasts one by one.
With Zhao Cheng’en and Chang Xi clearing the way, Chen Xun, Gu Cheng Zhuo, Lei Wan He, and the others only needed to defend their wings and easily enter the giant cave.
Turning to the front, Chen Xun saw that the wound in front of the Heavenly Yao was even more ferocious and terrifying. The flesh and blood on his chest had already peeled off, and several snow-white jade-like ribs had also broken. A bright red heart was beating wildly like a pile driver, yet a black giant cord was wrapped tightly around him like a palm …
Chen Xun recognized this black rope at a glance. Xia Xiangyi had used this rope to tie Chang Xi back to the Divine Night Sect.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xun was speechless. It was time for a fierce battle. Xia Xiangyi and the others didn’t think of any way to kill the Heavenly Yao at the fastest speed possible. They actually wanted to remove the Heavenly Yao’s heart unharmed.
However, Chen Xun had benefited greatly from the Six-Armed Giant Demon Blood over the years, and he was even more aware of how precious the Heavenly Yao Heart was.
However, Xia Xiangyi and the others were able to use the Immortal Binding Ropes to wrap around the Heavenly Yao’s heart, but they were unable to pull
Countless blood veins twisted around the gigantic heart, and it was still beating and struggling violently.
It was definitely not an easy task to trap a Form Transformation stage Great Demon to death.
Apart from the Immortal Binding Ropes, Xia Xiangyi and Jiang Bin also used the Kui Dragon Heavenly Diagram and the Six Arch Sungathering Banner to attack the vital points of the Heavenly Yao’s face at the same time, not daring to rest for a moment.
Of course, the reason why they did this was because they were afraid that the Heavenly Yao would make a move and tear the Immortal Binding Ropes into pieces.
Xia Xiangyi and the others had been locked in a stalemate with the Heavenly Yao for a while. Other than the Eight Desolate Flag being able to absorb spiritual energy from the earth veins, the others could only rely on consuming medicinal pills to replenish their spiritual energy. Xia Xiangyi did not dare to say that they would definitely be able to kill the Heavenly Yao.
Seeing Chang Xi and Zhao Cheng’en coming over, Xia Xiangyi’s face revealed excitement.
Chang Xi and Zhao Cheng’en both had mid-Tian Yuan cultivation. The Octagonal Lightning Hammer in Gu Cheng Zhuo’s hand was also a Heaven Ranked magical artifact that could cause damage to Heaven Yao. With their help, it was possible to kill Heaven Yao.
Jiang Bin’s face was unworried. Zhao Cheng’en was still fooled. Now that Chang Xi had arrived, things were a little troublesome. But no matter what, he had to kill the Heavenly Yao first to seize the Demon Heart. At worst, he could blackmail Chang Xi.
