Eternal Sacred King Chapter 198 to 205

 Chapter 198: Tricked

Just as Su Zimo’s gaze landed on the alpha, it suddenly moved as if it sensed something.

“Oh?”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

His gaze was extremely obscure such that the ten odd Foundation Establishment wolves had not noticed it.

If this alpha sensed it, there was an 80% chance that it was a Golden Core spirit demon!

Su Zimo continued observing.

The alpha merely moved a little and did not make any other motions. It did not even open its eyes, as though it was merely adjusting its position to make itself more comfortable.

Su Zimo heaved out a sigh of relief.

“Roar!”

At that moment, five spirit demon wolves growled lowly and walked towards the cave slowly with feral expressions.

The entrance of the cave was squeezy.

The five wolves did not dare to barge in, merely loitering in front of the cave.

“Ow! Ow!”

Before long, a familiar cry came from within the cave, filled with provocation.

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up and he no longer had any doubts.

That was the sound of the spirit monkey!

The spirit monkey was very smart and defended the entrance of the cave with a terrain advantage, destroying the wolf pack one by one.

However, that was only a temporary solution.

The spirit monkey had to be constantly on guard against the wolves’ sneak attacks and could not relax at all.

If this continued, the spirit monkey would not be able to withstand it eventually.

After all, there were more than 10,000 wolves and the spirit monkey was alone.

The five wolves at the entrance did not fall for the spirit monkey’s provocation. They continued loitering around the cave with a ruthless glint in their eyes.

Su Zimo’s gaze swept over the alpha on the green rock again.

If it was a Golden Core spirit demon, the spirit monkey should have been dead long ago and would not have been able to last till now.

At that thought, Su Zimo no longer hesitated. He wore the Mystic Gold Silk Armor and leapt down from the tree as a flying sword appeared beneath his feet in midair.

Swash!

A sword beam tore through the air and Su Zimo bypassed the dense wolf pack, disregarding their howls and speeding towards the cave.

At the same time, the alpha on the green rock opened its eyes. Narrowing its gaze, a cunning and savage glint was revealed!

Swash! Swash! Swash!

Su Zimo’s expression was calm and his eyes were clear in midair. Waving his sleeves, six sword beams flew out of his storage bag.

“Hexagonal Sword Formation!”

He shouted softly and controlled the six flying swords which cut through the air swiftly. The sword qi left behind scars in the air which formed a gigantic hexagonal formation.

“Buzz!”

The light of formation patterns burst forth in a bedazzling manner.

Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!

Su Zimo controlled the gigantic sword formation and directed it towards the five wolves loitering in front of the cave. Everywhere the formation passed, the sound of metal clashing would ring forth, carrying a murderous and intense sword qi.

“Roar!”

One wolf did not know how powerful it was and leapt forth with a ferocious expression. It reached out with its sharp claws and scratched at the Hexagonal Sword Formation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A crisp sound was produced when the sword formation made contact with the wolf’s claws.

Right after, a bloody mist spread out as limbs flew.

A spirit demon wolf was minced to death by the Hexagonal Sword Formation on the spot!

“Damn monkey, come out! I’ll take you out of here!”

Su Zimo shouted as he controlled the Hexagonal Sword Formation to chase the other four wolves.

After a short pause, a tall figure dashed out from the pitch black hole. It was holding a black rod and it had long arms that almost touched the ground.

When the spirit monkey caught sight of Su Zimo, it widened its eyes in joy.

Right after, as though it remembered something, its joy turned into panic.

“Ow! Ow!”

The spirit monkey’s fur stood on end, gesturing behind Su Zimo and yelling loudly.

At the same time, Su Zimo felt an immense danger and his expression changed, sensing that something was amiss.

Before he could turn back, an evil gust of wind struck from behind!

Su Zimo was on his flying sword right now. If a wolf could appear behind him, there was only a single possibility.

The wolf was a Golden Core spirit demon that could fly!

“I was tricked!”

Su Zimo’s mind flashed with the image of the alpha sprawled on the green rock.

Back when he looked at the alpha, it budged slightly.

Su Zimo thought that it was a coincidence.

But now, he was enlightened.

The alpha had sensed something and subconsciously reacted to it.

But right after, it did not move or even open its eyes and feigned ignorance while continuing to sleep – all of that was to lure Su Zimo out!

That cunningness of the wolf was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

A Golden Core spirit demon could crush Su Zimo completely in terms of strength – there was no fight at all1

A powerful aura that could still hearts enveloped him.

Su Zimo charged forward with all his might and channeled Body Petrification. At the same time, he shifted the Hexagonal Sword Formation to defend behind him!

Swoosh!

Spinning continuously, the Hexagonal Sword Formation gave off a bedazzling sword light that shone like a gigantic mirror, defending Su Zimo’s body.

A look of mockery flashed in the alpha’s eyes as it flew into the air. Tossing out a casual swipe, it struck the surface of the sword formation with its sharp talons heavily.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The Hexagonal Sword Formation stopped spinning and slammed heavily against Su Zimo’s back.

His expression changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling from the skies.

The sword formation dispersed and all six flying swords had cracks on them, shining with a dim light – they were all broken!

The attack of a Golden Core spirit demon had actually destroyed six inferior-grade flying swords!

How terrifying was that strength?

“Roar!”

The alpha stood in midair. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and bared its grisly fangs and scarlet tongue, letting out a deafening roar that shook the forest and caused boulders to tumble down from the mountains.

It was majestic and possessed an overwhelming ferocity!

The spirit monkey leaped up and in the midst of the panic, caught Su Zimo who was falling from midair, intending to return to the cave.

However, the cave behind the spirit monkey was now sealed by many wolves!

From up above, the alpha looked at the man and monkey on the ground. Its eyes were filled with contempt but it did not continue to attack.

The surrounding wolves began to move towards the circle, layer after layer.

“Ow!”

The spirit monkey held Su Zimo with both hands and poked its head out, baring its teeth at the enemies. Its eyes shimmered with a bloody glow as it let out threatening snarls.

“Damn monkey, let me down.”

Right then, Su Zimo said with a weak voice.

“Ow?”

The spirit monkey was stunned for a moment and helped Su Zimo stand up.

Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, Su Zimo took a deep breath and swallowed an elixir. He regulated his breathing although his face seemed rather pale.

A Golden Core spirit demon was way too strong!

Even with the Hexagonal Sword Formation and Mystic Gold Silk Armor, Su Zimo’s organs still trembled from the impact and nearly shifted positions within.

It was not hard to imagine that without the Hexagonal Sword Formation and Mystic Gold Silk Armor, Su Zimo would have been smashed to pieces with that attack!

The man and wolf exchanged looks.

Raising its head proudly, the alpha turned towards the green rock as though it could not be bothered to attack again.

In the eyes of the alpha, that attack was enough to severely injure Su Zimo even if he was not dead.

Coupled with the loss of his flying swords, the man and monkey would definitely die against the combined attacks of the wolf pack!

Chapter 199: Fight Alongside

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Zimo looked at the alpha on the green rock and endured the pain from his organs. He racked his brains, thinking about all possible methods of escaping.

There was a very small possibility!

First off, the alpha was too strong.

It crushed and devastated Su Zimo entirely – this was an existence he had no chance of resisting against.

Secondly, the alpha was too fast.

Without the help of his spirit perception, Su Zimo would have already died earlier on!

The only shot at life that Su Zimo had was on his blood bone palm.

Till now, Su Zimo did not know what that blood bone palm was.

However, he knew that it was indestructible and possessed terrifying power. If it could strike the alpha, there was a high chance it could deal serious damage!

“Roar!”

The surrounding ten odd Foundation Establishment wolves bared their fangs and lowered their heads, howling with shimmering, murderous glints.

“Oo, Oo!”

The howl of wolves that lined the entire mountains was terrifying and shocked countless birds.

Su Zimo took a deep breath and faked a relaxed smile. “Damn monkey, it’s back to two years ago when we fought alongside one another.”

“Ow! Ow!”

Even though it was in the midst of wolves and could lose its life at any moment, the spirit monkey did not show any fear. Instead, it was filled with excitement and joy.

The joy came from being reunited with Su Zimo.

Sensing the emotions of the spirit monkey, Su Zimo could not help but laugh. “Two years ago, we didn’t dare to fight these beasts head on. Today’s a rare opportunity. Let’s kill to our hearts’ content! Damn monkey, show me how much you’ve grown over the past two years!”

“Roar!”

The spirit monkey roared when it heard that.

Its bloodline raced rapidly, causing its flesh to swell and its body to expand. Raising its rod, charged into the wolf pack first!

That rod was filled with immense power and might. Even though the opposing wolf was also at Foundation Establishment realm, a trace of fear flickered through its eyes and it dodged to the side, not daring to fight it head on.

Poof!

The wolves at the back were not so lucky. After the spirit monkey swept across with its rod, many wolves had their brains splattered to the ground and died on the spot.

Whoosh!

Su Zimo channeled his blood and his body gushed with a terrifying sound of tsunami. Streaks of blue lightning appeared on his skin and crackled wildly with a blinding light.

Snap!

Swinging his arms backwards, a thunderbolt as thick as an arm exploded in the pack of wolves, radiating with electric sparks and green smoke billowed.

Under that terrifying power of lightning, the spirit beast wolves were all electrocuted to death on the spot. Two Foundation Establishment wolves shivered pathetically as their furs curled from the electric shock.

Swoosh!

Two other Foundation Establishment wolves pounced over from the side, their sharp claws flashing with cold light as they revealed sharp fangs and gnawed towards Su Zimo’s neck.

If Su Zimo was bitten, he would not be able to endure it even with his powerful body!

“You must be courting death!”

His eyes lit up brightly as he hollered, swinging his left arm to form a huge arc in the air. Using his fist like a stamp, he pummeled down suddenly!

Bang!

The large stamp slammed heavily on the wolf’s head and the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Without a single sound, the Foundation Establishment wolf fell from midair.

On the surface, it looked intact without any injuries. However, the inside of its head was splattered by that tremendous force!

At the same time, Su Zimo flipped his right hand and opened his palm, striking the chest of the other wolf with an attack that could split mountains.

“Howl!”

The wolf let out a sad cry and its body fell towards Su Zimo.

Bang!

Instantly, that Foundation Establishment wolf was sent flying with its bones completely broken. It was already dead before it fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had killed two Foundation Establishment wolves. His aura increased tremendously, letting out a chilling killing intent as the air emanated with a murderous aura.

The spirit monkey swung its rod widely with such vigor that even water might not be able to penetrate it.

Piak! Piak! Piak!

The spirit monkey’s gaze was fierce. With its height, long limbs and tremendous strength, any wolves that were struck by its long rod would be severely injured if not dead.

Behind the spirit monkey, Su Zimo’s expression was calm. Despite the circumstances, his eyes were cool and did not show signs of fear.

Six inferior-grade flying swords were destroyed by a single slap of the Golden Core alpha.

Su Zimo’s Cold Moon Saber and Sanguine Crystal Bow were dropped inside the inheritance ground of the fiend sects and he could not get them out in time.

Right now, he could only rely on his bare hands to fight against the wolves.

Even so, Su Zimo’s physical strength was not something that the wolves would definitely be able to defend against.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His casual punches and kicks possessed thunderous force, causing the air to explode.

Many wolves pounced on Su Zimo in a dense pack. Even as he was about to be drowned, all it took was a slight pause before those wolves were sent flying to the ground, mostly dead.

In the blink of an eye, corpses of the wolves were piled at the feet of the man and monkey.

The massacre continued.

Of the ten odd Foundation Establishment wolves, only nine were left.

Those wolves were highly intelligent and noticed that their strength might not be enough to be a threat for the man and monkey. As such, they prowled around the borders, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Wolves were extremely patient.

They knew that be it the spirit monkey or human, the time would come when their strength would be exhausted.

Once the man and monkey were weakened and mentally exhausted, their defenses would definitely reveal openings. That would be the best moment for a lethal attack!

However, those nine wolves were disappointed as time passed by.

The spirit monkey revealed clear signs of exhaustion as its speed and strength were far inferior to before.

However, the openings revealed by that spirit monkey were all compensated by the horrifying strength of that human!

That human seemed to possess an endless amount of strength. Despite being engaged in battle, his eyes remained clear and bright. They sparkled with fighting spirit and killing intent.

Not only that, the more he fought, the stronger he seemed!

This human’s body and physique was even stronger than theirs!

This human... was more like a true spirit demon!

The wolves would never know that The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness was incomparably strong to begin with.

Furthermore, Su Zimo had even cultivated the Void Thunder Manual, Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra and many other secret skills to reach the realm of having his blood echo with the sounds of tsunamis and thunder. His physique was even more astonishing and those wolves were no match for him at all!

Even though they were demons as well, wolves had too ordinary of a bloodline.

The reason why they were able to reign over the Cang Lang Mountain Range was due to their sheer numbers and intelligence.

If not for the Golden Core alpha that was watching from the side, Su Zimo would have long fled with the spirit monkey!

Although there were many wolves, they were nothing but mere chickens against Su Zimo that could not withstand a single blow!

“Roar!”

Right then, the alpha sat up from the green rock and let out a deafening roar.

It could no longer sit still.

It had initially thought that its wolves would be able to kill the man and monkey with ease given the fact that Su Zimo was severely injured – that would provide an opportunity for him to raise the fighting strength of its wolf pack.

But as time went by, the alpha started to realize that something was amiss.

If this were to continue, its wolves would suffer heavy casualties!

The alpha decided to take action personally and bite that man and monkey to death decisively!

“Psst!” Psst! “Psst!”

Sensing the alpha’s motions, Su Zimo slowly breathed in.

A huge stream of air tore through his throat and let out a strange sound. Blood oozed out slowly as the skin around his throat was cut by the air current.

Su Zimo knew that the clash between him and the alpha would determine whether or not they would survive!

Chapter 200: Terrifying Strength

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Anaconda Eclipse!

It was a secret skill of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

Su Zimo’s chest heaved up and down at a speed visible to the naked eye in a terrifying manner. A scene seemed to have flashed across the eyes of many wolves.

An anaconda coiled around his body, rearing its head and devouring the moon. Its belly was full and it had two horns, seeming as though it wanted to soar into the skies and transform into a dragon!

A look of mockery flashed in the alpha’s eyes.

No matter what the human in front of him did, it was useless.

The difference between them was too great.

Anyone with a core would crush a Foundation Establishment Cultivator without any single doubt!

Ever since the primordial era, countless monstrous geniuses have appeared over the years. However, there were only a handful who could kill living beings with a core when they were at Foundation Establishment realm.

All of those were terrifying beings that surpassed their contemporaries and left a name for themselves through the ages!

The alpha did not believe that the puny human before it possessed that capability.

Swoosh!

With a single leap, the alpha brought with it a murderous gust.

It was too fast!

It had completely surpassed Su Zimo’s perception ability.

Su Zimo closed his eyes subconsciously, using his keen spirit perception to determine where the danger was and predict the approximate location of the alpha.

The middle finger and thumb of his left hand touched to form a hand seal as an image of fiend suppression appeared in his mind. Pressing forward, he shouted at the same time, “Kill!”

The Anaconda Eclipse and Thunderclap Kill coupled with the Fiend Suppression Seal exploded at the same instant!

In the process of fighting against the wolves, Su Zimo had never used those three trump cards nor did he waste any of his spirit energy – it was all for this moment!

The purpose of throwing these trump cards out was to confuse and stop the alpha momentarily.

Even if it was just for a moment!

Su Zimo’s real killing move was on his right hand.

Swash!

Clenching his right hand like a dagger, Su Zimo thrust forth!

Four trump cards at the same time!

The first ones to strike were the Anaconda Eclipse and Thunderclap Kill.

A deafening roar instantly produced a power of thunder that threatened to shatter the stars and the world!

The surrounding wolves revealed a hint of pain as they retreated subconsciously.

However, the alpha who was facing the Thunderclap Kill head on did not pause at all!

Suddenly, a crimson air stream burst forth from the alpha’s chest and shrouded around its body. Accompanied by the sound of bloodline channeling, the alpha’s aura intensified by another layer!

The might of one with a formed core descended suddenly, filling the air with a demonic qi that could capture one’s soul!

The alpha reached out with both claws and swiped forward, smashing the golden hand seal that was descending from midair with ease.

It did not stop its momentum and continued to gnaw towards Su Zimo’s neck with a feral expression.

Right then, Su Zimo’s right hand cut in.

The same time the alpha bit Su Zimo on the neck, his right hand stabbed the alpha!

Even though it looked like a simple counterattack, for some reason, the alpha sensed a dangerous aura.

If it was any other spirit demon, it might not have chosen to dodge and would definitely have bitten Su Zimo’s throat first.

However, the alpha was wary and cunning. It would definitely not take the risk.

Against Su Zimo’s incoming right hand, the alpha suddenly stopped in its tracks. It swiped its claws forward against Su Zimo’s chest, creating a distance between them as it leaped back.

Bang!

Su Zimo felt as if he was struck by lightning as his body flew back uncontrollably, his face pale.

The attack missed!

The alpha was too fast and wary. Not only did it manage to dodge Su Zimo’s right hand, it even took the opportunity to injure him severely.

That swipe was intended to rip Su Zimo’s stomach open, but it was blocked by the Mystic Gold Silk Armor.

Being a broken connate spirit weapon after all, even though the Mystic Gold Silk Armor was able to fend off the sharpness of the alpha’s claws, it could not withstand the power that attack contained.

That light swipe that did not require the alpha’s full strength had already managed to break several bones in Su Zimo’s chest!

Even his internal organs were shaken violently and showed signs of tearing.

Su Zimo coughed out blood and looked at the alpha who was closing in on him, sighing internally.

“There’s no more chance left.”

He failed to succeed even when the alpha was caught off guard.

Now that Su Zimo was seriously injured and had already lost his fighting strength, there was no way he could kill the alpha.

“If I manage to master the Organs Refinement section, my overall strength will increase greatly. Be it in terms of power or reaction time, everything will be swifter and I might have been able to kill it with my previous method. However... what a pity.”

It wasn’t because the plan could not work, it was because the difference in strength between them was too great. The strength of a spirit demon with a core was far beyond Su Zimo’s expectations.

On the other end, the spirit monkey was covered in wounds. Falling to the ground, it tossed its rod aside and panted, clearly exhausted.

The alpha walked slowly towards the man and monkey, as if it was the king of the world. It looked at Su Zimo’s right hand with scrutiny, doubt and curiosity.

Just what was it that could cause it to feel fear?

Was it an illusion?

The alpha decided to check out what was that human’s right hand after biting him to death.

“Oo, Oo!”

The surrounding wolves howled excitedly, awaiting the final kill.

Striding over, the alpha leaned its head in front of Su Zimo. Its nose and mouth let out a nauseating stench as sticky drool dripped onto Su Zimo’s body.

With no strength left to resist, Su Zimo merely glared at the alpha coldly.

Its face was filled with disdain as it opened its mouth and bared its fangs. Right as it was about to chomp down, its expression changed drastically, turning the ferocity in its eyes into shock.

Su Zimo was momentarily stunned as well.

Before he could react, he felt an overwhelmingly domineering force ripple out from the cave behind him before suddenly bursting forth!

For that brief moment, Su Zimo had an illusion.

The entire world seemed to stop.

The world was filled with a murderous aura and the atmosphere was stifling.

There was complete silence and one could hear even a pin drop!

It was as if all living beings were choked by an invisible force, unable to make a sound.

That energy fluctuation was extremely foreign and Su Zimo had not come across anything like this. While it didn’t seem like a spirit art, it was extremely terrifying.

Poof!

There was a crisp sound.

Right in front of everyone, the alpha’s head which was a mere inches away from Su Zimo suddenly exploded as though some force had collided on it!

A bloody mist filled the air and splattered all over Su Zimo!

Su Zimo’s entire body stiffened as he looked at everything in disbelief, almost unable to smell that gooey blood that covered his body with a nauseating smell.

Even the spirit monkey was scared out of its wits and froze on the spot.

The alpha was a powerful Golden Core that crushed Su Zimo completely. Yet, it died without any chance to resist against that powerful energy fluctuation!

How tough was the head of a Golden Core alpha?

Even if Su Zimo used the Cold Moon Saber and cleaved with all his might, he would not be able to leave a scratch on it.

But now, a head so tough had exploded right in front of Su Zimo.

If he had not seen it himself, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine it.

This scene dealt a huge blow to him!

Su Zimo only snapped out of his stupor and let out a long breath when the headless corpse of the alpha fell onto his body.

After a momentary silence, the thousands of wolves remaining whimpered and hung their tails low, fleeing into the distance without turning back.

In the blink of an eye, they were completely gone, leaving nothing but a pile of wolf corpses and bloodstains.

Chapter 201: 5,000 Years

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Zimo turned back to look at the pitch black cave behind him with a rattled expression.

After freezing momentarily, he turned to look at the spirit monkey subconsciously.

After all, he had not been back for two years – the spirit monkey should know best as to what was inside the cave.

Unexpectedly, the spirit monkey shook its head in confusion upon meeting with Su Zimo’s eyes.

“Under... cold lake, enter... cave.”

Suddenly, Su Zimo heard an unfamiliar voice. It was extremely weak and intermittent.

The voice appeared abruptly, as if it echoed out in Su Zimo’s mind!

Was there someone within the cave?

Was he under the cold lake?

Was this some sort of trick?

Su Zimo composed himself and looked at the spirit monkey.

It did not realize anything was amiss.

This meant that... Su Zimo was the only one who heard that voice!

Su Zimo had no idea what the other party’s identity and motives were. He could not help but feel a little uneasy.

However, on second thought, he would have died in the hands of the alpha if not for this person.

The worst case scenario would be to just die once more.

Su Zimo pondered for a moment and did not tell the spirit monkey about this.

If the spirit monkey did not hear the voice of the mystery man, there was only a single possibility – the latter did not want the spirit monkey to know about it.

Furthermore, Su Zimo did not know what dangers lurked beneath the cold lake and he did not want the spirit monkey to take the risk.

“Monkey, wait for me here. I’ll go take a look inside,” Su Zimo endured the immense pain and struggled to stand up.

“Ow, ow!”

The spirit monkey shouted a few times, supporting Su Zimo with one hand and gesturing with the other, implying that it wanted to go in together.

“Wait for me outside. I’ll be right back, don’t worry.”

Su Zimo said again and slowly walked towards the cave.

Once inside, Su Zimo frowned as a pungent and familiar aura lunged at him.

It was that damn monkey’s shit.

There were not many changes within the cave. Su Zimo looked around and walked straight to the cold lake.

A white fog covered the surface of the water with a cold and chilling intent.

Without hesitation, Su Zimo took a deep breath and jumped in.

Because he was wearing the Mystic Gold Silk Armor, Su Zimo sank extremely quickly.

Two years ago, he had just cultivated the Tendons Transformation section. By the time he was halfway through, his blood was already showing signs of freezing up.

Now, as he sank down, Su Zimo’s blood churned furiously like a tsunami filled with life – it was endlessly fighting against the cold.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo’s feet touched ground and he arrived at the bottom of the cold lake.

In front of him, there was a huge rock and he could clearly see the four words on it.

Extreme Fire Dao Residence!

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he choked on a mouthful of cold water.

His abdomen moved and in an instant, a chill exploded, causing his body to shudder slightly.

The words ‘Dao Residence’ were not something just anybody could use.

Golden Cores were Perfected Beings, Nascent Souls were Perfected Lords. Void Reversion came above Nascent Soul and only those cultivators could be referred to as Dao Beings!

There was a high chance the owner of this Dao Residence was a Void Reversion Dao Being!

Void Reversion Dao Being... Su Zimo was too far away from that.

It was said that even Ethereal Peak’s sect master was merely at Nascent Soul realm and had not reached Void Reversion.

Su Zimo calmed himself and took a few steps forward to get closer.

Beneath the huge rock was a stone door.

Hesitating for a moment, Su Zimo pushed the stone door with both hands.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Two doors opened from the middle and an ancient rotting aura surged in.

Gritting his teeth, Su Zimo entered the Dao Residence.

The water of the cold lake seemed to be blocked outside by an invisible as the doors slowly closed.

Upon entering the Dao Residence, Su Zimo’s mouth opened agape as he stood rooted to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the Dao Residence was surprisingly cramped and could be seen in its entirety with a single glance – it was even smaller than Su Zimo’s cave abode back in Ethereal Peak.

The Dao Residence did not have much decorations. Opposite Su Zimo, there was a stone bed and a man in scarlet robes with a large tripod emblem on its sleeves laid there.

Su Zimo had never seen that emblem before.

The man revealed a side profile and looked no older than a middle-aged man. However, his face was black with a sinister tinge of green.

Laying flat on the stone bed along with that greenish black complexion, the man looked horrifying, like a corpse that had been placed there for many years!

“You... don’t have to be afraid. I don’t have much life left, I won’t hurt you.”

Even though the scarlet robed man’s lips did not move, the voice from earlier rang in Su Zimo’s mind.

“I’m using my spirit consciousness... to communicate with you. The death of the alpha earlier on was also through my spirit consciousness.”

Spirit consciousness!

It was said that once a Golden Core entered the Nascent Soul realm, they would be able to unlock a sea of wisdom and possess spirit consciousness.

Spirit consciousness was another form of energy that was far more terrifying than one’s vision. It could probe everywhere, detecting the most secluded corners.

In the face of spirit consciousness, the Golden Core alpha was akin to a small ant and was destroyed in an instant!

Su Zimo asked, “Senior, how may I address you?”

“Extreme Fire... Dao Lord!”

Even though the voice of the spirit consciousness was extremely weak, it boomed in Su Zimo’s mind like a thunderbolt!

Dao Lord!

In the cultivation world, there were corresponding titles for every cultivation realm. It was a symbol of one’s identity, status and strength and must not be used without reason.

Su Zimo merely knew that Dao Beings were at the Void Reversion realm.

However, he had never heard of what realms Dao Lords were at.

Logically speaking, the realm of a Dao Lord should be even above Void Reversion!

“Thank you for saving me, Senior Extreme Fire. May I know how I can help you?”

Su Zimo asked after a long silence.

At that moment, he was uncertain as well.

If it was as Dao Lord Extreme Fire had mentioned that he did not have much life left, what help could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Su Zimo provide?

“5,000 years ago, I... broke into a ruin. In a moment of carelessness, I was... injured by the beings within and poisoned deeply. I then shattered... a Major Transference Talisman to escape death and was teleported here.”

The Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s voice was intermittent, but Su Zimo was completely dumbfounded.

5,000 years ago!

The life span of the Golden Core was at most 500 years.

However, the middle-aged man in front of him was from 5,000 years ago and he was still alive!

What was even more frightening was that there were beings in that unknown ruin that could injure Dao Lord Extreme Fire!

What sort of a poison was it such that even a Dao Lord could not withstand it?

As for the Major Transference Talisman, Su Zimo had never even heard of it before.

“I opened up... this place, but the poison has already infiltrated my entire body and I’m unable to leave. If my essence spirit is sent forth, it will be tainted with the poison as well and will not last more than an hour.”

“I had no choice but to use my spirit consciousness to resist the poison’s corrosion. 5,000 years... I can’t hold on for much longer.”

Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s voice was filled with some regret, indignance and even a hint of relief.

Su Zimo looked at Dao Lord Extreme Fire with shock in his eyes as a storm brewed in his heart!

In this cramped Dao Residence without daylight and almost devoid of freedom, Dao Lord Extreme Fire had resisted the poison in his body for an entire 5,000 years all alone!

How powerful was his determination to be able to do that?

Chapter 202: Candlelight Sword Formation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If one were to say that Dao Lord Extreme Fire was too powerful, the poison in his body would be even more terrifying.

That was because despite 5,000 years, Dao Lord Extreme Fire still lost.

If one were to say that the poison in Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s body was terrifying, the ruin that he entered would be enough to have one shudder at the mere thought of it.

“Two years ago, I saw you.”

Dao Lord Extreme Fire said, “However, you were not a cultivator at that time. I never expected that you would already be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator after two years.”

“Someone changed your destiny for you. Such means are truly admirable.”

Su Zimo remained silent.

If not for Die Yue, he would not be able to get to where he was today.

Even though Extreme Fire Die Yue was powerful, he was impressed by Die Yue as well.

“My treasures are all within my storage bag. Without a spirit consciousness, you won’t be able to open it. Furthermore... your cultivation is too low for you to make use of them. You can keep my storage bag. Open it when you reach Void Reversion realm one day.”

Su Zimo finally realized that Dao Lord Extreme Fire had summoned him to lay down his final wishes.

“I brought this white stone out of the ruins but I’m unable to keep it in the storage bag. I don’t know what use it has as well. You can have it too.”

Beside Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s pillow was his storage bag and a milky-white stone the size of a goose egg.

The surface of the stone was smooth and sparkling.

Su Zimo stared at the stone and felt as if his gaze was being pulled in!

Subconsciously, he lifted the stone.

The moment Su Zimo’s finger made contact with the stone, it suddenly disappeared.

It was as if it had gone into his body through his palm!

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo felt a sharp pain in his head and he almost fainted from how unbearable it was.

He had not realized that at that moment, his right eye had turned white.

Pure white!

His entire eye was white completely – it was terrifying!

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo’s right eye returned to normal as the pain gradually weakened.

At the same time, a secret skill appeared in Su Zimo’s mind.

To be precise, it was a sword formation – Candlelight Sword Formation!

Su Zimo merely skimmed through the sword formation briefly and could not help but be speechless.

Even though he hadn’t cultivated and understood it, Su Zimo guessed that the power of the Candlelight Sword Formation was enough to crush the Hexagonal Sword Formation completely!

There were nine grades to the Candlelight Sword Formation.

A Grade 1 Candlelight Sword Formation would already require nine flying swords!

For a Grade 2 Candlelight Sword Formation, 18 flying swords would be required following that logic.

If he were to cultivate to Grade 9 of the Candlelight Sword Formation, he would require 81 flying swords to activate the formation!

Su Zimo put the Candlelight Sword Formation out of his mind for the time being and lowered his head to check his body.

The stone from earlier on had disappeared and Su Zimo had an illusion that it entered his body.

However, he found nothing after searching for it.

“There’s also a demon beast egg under the bed. I brought that out of the ruins too. Take it with you and nurture it well. Who knows, it might become an extraordinary spirit beast.”

Su Zimo took two steps back and looked under the bed where there was an oval egg roughly the size of a fist.

Unless one were to pay attention, it was easy to mistake it for an ordinary stone.

But now that Su Zimo was focusing his gaze, he was shocked to discover that there were complicated and mysterious runic patterns densely etched on the surface of the demon beast egg.

He did not touch the demon beast egg.

The things from that ruin were all a little strange. Su Zimo was worried that the egg would also enter his body if he touched it...

“You’re a Sword Formation Master, right?”

Suddenly, Dao Lord Extreme Fire asked, his voice even weaker than it had been at the beginning.

“Yes.”

Su Zimo nodded.

He had summoned the Hexagonal Sword Formation earlier on when he was fighting with the wolf pack outside – Dao Lord Extreme Fire must have seen it.

“I don’t understand anything about sword formations. However, I know that flying swords are the most important to Sword Formation Masters! They require many of similar weight and quality. It would be best if they were identical.”

Su Zimo nodded. “That’s right. I’m also a Weapon Refinement Master so the flying swords I use are all refined by myself.”

“Oh?”

Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s voice suddenly revealed a hint of joy. “What grade of spirit weapons can you refine?”

“I can only refine inferior-grade spirit weapons,” Su Zimo answered honestly.

Dao Lord Extreme Fire continued, “Actually, I’m from one of the four dissident groups... Hundred Refinement Sect. Of the weapon refinement techniques in Tianhuang Mainland, Hundred Refinement Sect reigns supreme! It’s a pity that you’re not a disciple of my sect and I can’t impart many of the weapon refinement secret skills of the sect.”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

He had unintentionally heard Demoness Ji mention that of the top factions of Tianhuang Mainland, there were the four dissident groups.

Their standing was equal to the seven fiend sects.

“However...”

Dao Lord Extreme Fire added, “I can refine a weapon in front of you. Take a good look at the entire process. How much of it you can comprehend will be up to your own talents.”

Of the weapon refinement techniques, Hundred Refinement Sect reigned supreme!

Those words were enough to prove how powerful Hundred Refinement Sect was in terms of weapon refinement. Furthermore, this was a Dao Lord of Hundred Refinement Sect.

It was a rare opportunity.

A figure suddenly flew out from Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s glabella.

He was also dressed in a scarlet Dao robe, almost identical to Dao Lord Extreme Fire in terms of appearance, albeit a miniature version!

“This is my essence spirit, it’s about to dissipate.”

After Dao Lord Extreme Fire said that, his essence spirit waved its hand gently and a gigantic tripod alongside many materials flew out from the storage bag at the front of the bed.

Swoosh!

A fiery flame rose beneath the tripod.

Warming, material selection, smelting, forging...

The steps were roughly similar. However, the various details and techniques displayed in the weapon refinement process was completely superior.

In Su Zimo’s eyes, Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s weapon refinement process was smooth and fluid like water. It was as though he was not refining a spirit weapon, but an unparalleled treasure.

Even though Su Zimo was already an Elementary Weapon Refinement Master...

At this moment, he realized that compared to the real experts, his weapon refinement skills were akin to trash!

After forging was tempering.

This was Su Zimo’s weakest step.

He opened his eyes widely, watching the methods of Dao Lord Extreme Fire.

Dao Lord Extreme Fire controlled all ten fingers with an incomparable agility and nimbleness, moving along the body of the sword and tapping it bit by bit.

The moment his fingertip landed, an exquisite little hammer seemed to condense on his fingertip.

Cling! Clang!

Ten fingers struck the sword with a rhythmic pattern, giving off a pleasant and crisp sound. The intervals between the sounds were exactly the same!

“This is one of Hundred Refinement Sect’s secret skill... Thousand Tempered Finger.”

Dao Lord Extreme Fire’s voice rang out, “I won’t be able to explain the secret behind the skill. You’ve got to take a closer look, think deeper and practice more to obtain your own insights...”

Before long, the tempering process was over and spirit gathering began.

“Buzz!”

Almost instantly, the first spirit pattern was condensed on the sword.

Su Zimo was dumbstruck.

The speed of that spirit gathering was way too fast!

“This is another one of our sect’s secret skill, Hundred Refinement Spirit Gathering Method. You won’t be able to comprehend it through mere observation because it requires a mantra and a mental cultivation technique.”

Before he finished his sentence, a second spirit pattern was formed.

Immediately following that, a third!

A fourth!Chapter 203: Demon Beast Inner Core

In just a few seconds, four spirit patterns had condensed on that flying sword!

That was a supreme-grade spirit weapon!

One more step and it would be perfect.

Spirit gathering was the most difficult step of weapon refinement. However, Extreme Fire Dao Lord made it look extremely easy.

One could be called an Advanced Weapon Refinement Master if they could produce a superior-grade spirit weapon.

Above Advanced Weapon Refinement Masters, there was the title of Weapon Refinement Grandmaster.

What title was Extreme Fire Dao Lord?

In order to let Su Zimo have a good look at his weapon refinement techniques, Extreme Fire Dao Lord removed his Weapon Tripod during the tempering and spirit gathering steps.

After condensing four spirit patterns, Extreme Fire Dao Lord showed no signs of stopping as he attempted for a fifth spirit pattern.

“Oh?”

Right then, a warning flashed in Su Zimo’s mind.

The feeling of danger came from the flying sword that was heated to a scarlet red. It was a familiar feeling – the premonition of a failed spirit gathering!

“Don’t!”

When he saw that Extreme Fire Dao Lord had no intention of stopping, Su Zimo exclaimed instinctively.

Extreme Fire Dao Lord paused for a moment and eyed Su Zimo, murmuring, “That’s true. Even if I make you a perfect spirit weapon, you won’t be able to use it given your current cultivation realm.”

Given Su Zimo’s spirit energy, he would not be able to last long using a perfect spirit weapon.

Too much spirit energy would be drained if all five spirit patterns were activated.

Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and lamented internally, “The spirit gathering technique of Hundred Refinement Sect is indeed incredible. But even then, it does not have a 100% success rate. While my spirit gathering technique is slower, it’s guaranteed.”

In other words, if Su Zimo were to perfect the steps of material selection, smelting, forging and tempering, he would be able to create a perfect spirit weapon with 100% certainty!

If news of that were to spread in the cultivation world, Su Zimo would definitely become the most popular Weapon Refinement Master!

There was no exception.

“This supreme-grade flying sword is a gift for you. Take it.”

Swash!

A sword beam flew by and pierced into the ground before Su Zimo.

“Sigh, I’ve managed to survive for 5,000 years, but it’s all futile...”

The tinge of green on Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit was getting darker.

Su Zimo furrowed his brows, trying his best to repress the shock in his heart.

The brief moment of contact between Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit and his body was when it flew out of his glabella – even then, it was tainted by the poison.

The potency of the poison was evident!

“Outside, in the... body of that wolf, there’s an... Inner Core. That’s a great tonic for you, don’t forget to take it out...”

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up.

In the path of immortality cultivation, cultivators that managed to form a core would condense a sparkling Golden Core in their dantian.

As depicted in The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, demons on the core path will also produce an Inner Core in their body.

Inner Cores and Golden Cores were similar – they possessed the essence of the cultivator.

However, Golden Cores were formed from spirit energy. However, Inner Cores were formed from the essence qi of the five organs.

As depicted in the Organs Refinement section, the five organs essence qi was produced after Organs Refinement into five varying essence qi that would spread inside one’s body. It will nourish the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow, allowing the body to undergo a complete transformation.

Be it in terms of power or speed, there would be a significant increase!

When the body is at the peak of nourishment from the five organs essence qi, it would enter the next realm, Orifice Clearing.

Orifice Clearing does not produce much of an increase in terms of power and speed. However, the overall increase in a demonic cultivator’s strength is still clear and obvious!

What Orifice Clearing referred to was to open up one’s mouth, eyes, ears and nose using the five organs essence qi.

Once those seven holes were opened up, the five senses of the demonic cultivator would receive an immense improvement and their vision, hearing and smell would become extremely sharp!

That was only the changes on the surface.

There would also be qualitative changes within the demonic cultivators.

The synthetic relationship between the five organs, skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow and five senses was equivalent to a minor Heavenly Cycle!

At mastery of Orifice Clearing, the body would be a fusion of toughness and flexibility and become one, increasing one’s coordination further.

When all five qi combine into one, that was the time to condense the Inner Core!

An Inner Core was the condensation of the bloodline and the five organs qi – the essence of the alpha’s entire lifetime’s worth of cultivation. That was way too important for Su Zimo!

By devouring that Inner Core, there was a high chance Su Zimo could take a critical step in cultivating his Organs Refinement section.

“The path of cultivation is a long one and is extremely difficult. One wrong step can cause one’s body and cultivation to perish. Pathetic, truly tragic...”

Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit slowly floated down and laid on the ground, muttering softly as his brows exuded boundless ancientness. Finally, his eyes gradually closed.

At that moment, as though he could empathize, Su Zimo felt a little sad as well.

Extreme Fire Dao Lord was many times more powerful than him, but he still ended with such an ending.

What was Su Zimo’s future and how far could he go?

Furthermore, the path he was taking was even more difficult and bumpy.

“Thank you for saving my life, imparting me the Dao and giving me treasures, senior.”

Su Zimo bowed deeply in the direction of Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s corpse.

By now, Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit had already turned bluish black with hardly any life signs – it was clear he couldn’t survive any longer.

“Hais.”

Su Zimo sighed and came to the bed, preparing to put away the storage bag left behind by Extreme Fire Dao Lord.

Because the storage bag was locked by the spirit consciousness left behind by Extreme Fire Dao Lord, Su Zimo was unable to open it with his current cultivation.

Even so, it was worth looking forward to.

As a Dao Lord of one of the four dissident groups, how many treasures were there in his storage bag?

Su Zimo put away the storage bag and placed the supreme-grade flying sword on the ground into his storage bag.

“Eh?”

Su Zimo muttered softly.

The moment he closed the storage bag, he vaguely felt a strange change in that longan-sized Buddha Bead in his storage bag.

He took the Buddha Bead out.

The moment he touched it, Su Zimo frowned and he was even more confused.

The Buddha Bead actually felt warm to the touch!

“Weird.”

Ever since he obtained the Buddha Bead from the stone coffin, there had never been any changes to it – this was the first time.

Su Zimo looked around his surroundings in deep thought.

If he was not wrong, this cave abode or something in here had a connection to the Buddha Bead!

Holding the Buddha Bead in his palm, Su Zimo walked around the cave abode.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly paused and squatted down, looking at Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit that was lying not far away. He frowned in silence.

A moment later, Su Zimo attempted to straighten his arm and move the Buddha Bead closer to Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit.

Pshew!

A streak of light.

Under Su Zimo’s gaze, Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit was suddenly sucked away by the Buddha Bead and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Oh?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed and he tossed the Buddha Bead on the ground hurriedly.

Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit was tainted by the poison as well. Now that it was inside the Buddha Bead, the bead would most likely be tainted by the poison too.

After observing for a long time, Su Zimo discovered to his shock that the Buddha Bead had not changed at all.

He did not dare to be careless, picking up a stone rod on the ground to poke the Buddha Bead.

There was no change in the stone rod as well.

This meant that the Buddha Bead was not tainted by that terrifying poison.

Su Zimo heaved out a sigh of relief.

It was no wonder he had to be so cautious – that poison was truly way too powerful.

Even a cultivator as powerful as Extreme Fire Dao Lord had to meet with such an ending after enduring for 5,000 years... Su Zimo had to be careful.

He picked up the Buddha Bead and studied it for a while before putting it back into his storage bag.

Chapter 204: Devouring Blood

There was nothing left in the cave abode.

Su Zimo’s gaze finally landed on that demon beast egg.

Actually, he did not bear much hope towards that egg.

Since this demon beast egg was taken from a ruin 5,000 years ago...

It proved that the egg had been there for more than 5,000 years!

Even a demon beast might not live that long, let alone a demon beast egg.

However, on second thought, Su Zimo realized that the items in the ruin were not ordinary.

The stone that might have entered his body, Candlelight Sword Formation and the poison that managed to even kill a Dao Lord...

At that thought, Su Zimo came before the demon beast egg and examined it.

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Since Extreme Fire Dao Lord had brought that demon beast egg out from the ruin when he was poisoned, why was the egg not tainted by the poison?

Even Extreme Fire Dao Lord’s essence spirit was not spared, yet this demon beast egg was fine?

It was immune to poison?

Su Zimo thought for a moment and picked up the demon beast egg, trying to put it away in his storage bag.

He could not do so!

His eyes lit up in elation.

Only non-living objects like weapons or elixirs could be placed inside the storage bag.

Living being with life could not be contained by the storage bag.

Now that the demon beast egg could not be placed within, it was proof that there were signs of life within the egg!

It was still alive!

Su Zimo’s thoughts gradually became active again.

If he could nurture a spirit beast, it might not be a bad thing.

Furthermore, this spirit beast that came from the unknown ruin could very likely be immune to poison!

Something like the demon beast egg was extremely rare within Tianhuang Mainland where only the top factions would possess them – these items were all prepared for the paragons of their respective sects.

The stronger the bloodline and the rarer the species was, the harder it was to obtain their demon beast eggs which were extremely precious.

After all, demon beast eggs as such would definitely be guarded by extremely powerful pure-blooded and ferocious remnant beasts day and night. Furthermore, they would be located at the deepest areas off any forests or mountains.

To obtain a demon beast egg as such, the top experts of the sects would have to turn up and engage in a ferocious battle with the pure-blooded remnant beasts. Even then, success was not guaranteed and they may even put themselves in danger.

Spirit beasts that were born from demon beast eggs were extremely loyal to their cultivators and there would not be cases of betrayal.

Even though Ethereal Peak, as one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, did not have any demon beast eggs, they had instructions on how to hatch demon beast eggs.

Firstly, blood was required.

It wasn’t anything mythical such as using the drop of blood to tie it to an owner.

The principle behind it was simple. The goal of dripping one’s blood on it was to remove the aura of the mother from the demon beast egg and let it be replaced with one’s blood.

That way, during the nurturing process and when the demon beast hatched, the scent it was most familiar with would be the owner of the blood. Naturally, it would be closest to that person.

Su Zimo thought for a moment and took out the supreme-grade flying sword that was crafted by Extreme Fire Dao Lord, injecting spirit qi into it.

Four spirit patterns lit up at the same time, emitting a cold aura that was extremely intimidating.

Given Su Zimo’s tough physique, he would not be able to tear through his skin without activating spirit patterns!

The sword tip slashed across his left palm ruthlessly, causing a bloody wound to appear.

Su Zimo immediately placed his left hand on the demon beast egg and started rubbing it.

After smearing all over the demon beast egg, he felt his palm clench as though it was bitten by something!

“Oh?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed.

Right after, a huge suction force erupted from the demon beast egg.

Su Zimo’s blood flowed uncontrollably from his wound on his left palm into the demon beast egg!

It felt as though the demon beast egg was extremely thirsty and was devouring his blood in large mouthfuls!

Frowning, Su Zimo yanked and tried to shake off the demon beast egg.

However, it was stuck to his palm and he could not shrug it off.

All of a sudden!

Abstruse and complicated patterns on the demon beast egg suddenly emitted a blinding light. It looked strangely weird illuminating beneath the blood!

The speed in which the demon beast egg was devouring blood was much faster than he had imagined!

Psst!

Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and felt himself going dizzy.

At this speed, he would soon be sucked into a dry corpse by the demon beast egg!

Putting away his flying sword, Su Zimo gripped the demon beast egg with his right hand and started tearing it outside.

However, the demon beast egg remained stuck firmly on his palm and refused to budge no matter how he tried. Furthermore, it was sucking his blood still and showed no indication of stopping.

“F*ck! You really can’t touch anything from that ruin carelessly!”

Su Zimo’s face turned pale as he cursed internally.

He had two options before him, to either sever his left hand or turn into a dried corpse.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Su Zimo’s mind as he turned and dashed out of the cave abode.

While his blood was not sucked dry yet and he still had strength remaining, Su Zimo swam towards the top of the cold lake with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, he leaped out of the cold lake and broke into a stumble, nearly falling over from how weak he was.

“Ow?”

When the spirit monkey saw Su Zimo rushing out, it was stunned.

After not seeing him for a while, Su Zimo’s flesh and blood withered and he lost a large amount of weight. There was even an egg on his left palm that glowed with blood.

Looking confused, the spirit monkey was about to head up when Su Zimo shouted lightly, “Don’t come over!”

The spirit monkey stopped in its tracks immediately, looking at Su Zimo with widened eyes.

Su Zimo arrived at the battlefield from earlier on and looked at the wolf corpses strewn all over the place. Heaving a deep breath of air, he recited a sinister sutra and his eye flashed with a bloody glint.

“Blood Devouring Technique!”

This was a secret skill from the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra.

Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly and the flesh and meat of some wolf corpses in front of him dissipated slowly, turning into a pool of blood and flowing into his mouth.

On the one hand, the demon beast egg was devouring Su Zimo’s blood endlessly.

On the other hand, Su Zimo was devouring the blood of the wolf corpses and managed to save his life.

As time passed by, the number of wolf corpses decreased, leaving only sets of white wolf bones on the ground.

After a long time, right as Su Zimo was almost unable to endure it anymore, the demon beast egg dropped from his hand with a loud thud and rolled a couple of times on the ground before stopping motionlessly.

The bloody light on the demon beast egg faded gradually and it returned to normal, looking like a fist-sized rock once more.

Su Zimo fell and sat on the ground, looking at the demon beast egg with lingering fear before letting out a long breath of air.

If he had not experienced it personally, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine that a small demon beast egg like that would be able to devour all the blood in his body.

“Ow, ow?”

The spirit monkey came over and asked.

Forcing out a faint smile, Su Zimo replied, “I’m fine. I just nearly got f*cked by an egg.”
