Chapter 333 -331: Mysterious Demon

Several months later.

Yunzhou, on the frontier of the Eastern Sea, lay desolate.

A hundred years ago, this place was the battlefield of a boundary war, where a heaven-shaking battle occurred between cultivators from Xia Country and Sangyu Country. Unfortunately, the battle was not yet over when the Black Tide descended, devouring a large number of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators. Even members from the Chaotic Sect such as Lin Qing’er, Jiang Yu, and Gongyang Yan fell here, neither seen alive nor found dead.

“Shua shua!”

In the sky, two streaks of golden light trailed a glimmer from the horizon, it was Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer.

Back then, Ning Daoran had visited once, but at that time the Black Tide had not receded. He only saw a flat boat on the Eastern Sea and a Divinity Transformation Stage Expert fishing alone in the cold river snow on the boat.

Now the situation on the East Coast had completely changed, the Black Tide had fully receded, and all things had revived.

“Old Lu, be careful.”

Ning Daoran frowned, “There might still be remnants of the Black Tide, and there may also be Sangyu Country cultivators lurking in this area.”

“Ao~~”

Big Stupid Deer nodded, releasing the Spiritual Power of a Mid-stage Golden Core Spiritual Beast, and together with Ning Daoran, they surveyed the remnants of the battlefield.

“…”

“Uh?”

Suddenly, Ning Daoran looked up towards the distance, then quickly tunneling through the light, he rushed out dozens of miles and saw the mountain ranges by the sea, among which in a valley adjacent to the sea, countless residual Mana surged.

On the ground, a dense cluster of peaks was lush and green.

Ning Daoran probed with his Divine Sense and was shocked to find that these mountains were cut very regularly, as if sliced open by a Great Cultivator with a sharp blade, carelessly piled together. Now, after more than a hundred years, these broken peaks had once again become lush.

That residual Mana was coming from beneath these broken peaks.

“Old Lu, I think we have found it…”

Ning Daoran frowned, his heart pounding. He knew that the chances for the Great Elder and others were slim, because everything in front of him resembled a Great Cultivator’s act of chopping down mountains to bury the bones of fallen cultivators.

“Let’s use Earth Escape.”

Ning Daoran cast a spell, quickly burrowing into the mountain.

Big Stupid Deer also cried out loud and followed him diving in.

Soon after, amidst the crevices of the mountain, light flickered. Ning Daoran emerged from one of the broken peaks, sweeping away a large patch of soil in front of him, revealing a skeleton below.

It was an old man wearing the Outer Elder clothes of the Chaotic Sect, still radiating a faint hint of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Mana. Beside it, lay a Magic Sword broken into three pieces.

“Sigh…”

Ning Daoran frowned, if he remembered correctly, this person should be an Elder Zhou from the sect. He had once called him Senior Brother Zhou, but he had never expected that he would meet such a brutal death, his breastbone shattered, apparently killed directly by a blunt weapon to the chest.

“Senior Brother Zhou, Ning Daoran will take you home.”

He took out a piece of Spirit paper, infused it with Mana, and tightly wrapped Senior Brother Zhou’s remains, then placed them into a specially prepared Storage Bag.

Quickly following the traces of Mana, the bodies of several other Chaotic Sect Foundation Establishment Elders were found, clearly all having died in magical combat. Several bodies of Sangyu Country cultivators were also found nearby, likely having fallen during the boundary war.

However, just as he finished searching the buried bones within these broken peaks, Ning Daoran frowned, his Golden Core Divine Sense sensing an even stronger Mana fluctuation underground.

“Old Lu, let’s keep looking!”

He and Big Stupid Deer continued to tunnel deeper downwards.

Not long after, the man and deer arrived above an ice layer deep underground, where nobody would expect there to be a glacier, which possessed a very intense Five Elements Power within the five colored glaciers.

Ning Daoran, holding the Azure Dragon Spear, continued to patrol for a long time, and on the colorful glacier, he found a crevice.

At this point, they were already under the Eastern Sea, who would have expected there to be such a profound ice fissure under the Eastern Sea?

And the aura sensed by the Golden Core Divine Sense was becoming increasingly intense, making Ning Daoran increasingly uneasy. He had sensed an extremely familiar Nascent Soul aura, though it was just a residual presence, Ning Daoran was very familiar with this Mana imprint—it was indeed the aura of Ancestor Lin Qing’er!

This residual aura was very weak, continuously being eroded by the passage of time.

Indeed, the legendary events were true. Ancestor Lin Qing’er had also participated in the boundary war and had perished in the Black Tide. Yet, at this moment, Ning Daoran couldn’t help but feel sad.

If even Lin Qing’er had fallen, could it mean that Senior Sister Jiang Yu had also…

“Ao ao~~”

Seemingly sensing the residual aura of Lin Qing’er’s Nascent Soul Power, Big Stupid Deer’s eyes reddened, repeatedly ramming the glacier, digging downward.

Ning Daoran didn’t say much, just continuously swung the Azure Dragon Spear downward, forging a path through the profound ice fissure.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but Ning Daoran and White Deer had dug a passage tens of miles downwards. However, just as they continued to excavate further down, suddenly traces of dark energy began to creep upward along the cracks on the profound ice.

“Be careful, it’s the Black Tide!”

Ning Daoran hastily brandished the Azure Dragon Spear, and golden silk swords burst forth from behind him, their tips pointing straight ahead.

Accompanying the surge of the Black Tide, an indescribable energy aura emanated from the depths of the Profound Ice, drawing closer; this power was neither Spiritual Energy nor familiar powers to Ning Daoran like the Five Elements Power or the power of Mutated Spiritual Roots.

Just as the Black Tide erupted, suddenly a figure sprang up with it, resembling a human but covered in black scales all over its body, hunched over, limbs touching the ground, with only a single vertical eye on its head. Its mouth displayed two rows of sharp teeth, and a black tongue lashed out ferociously.

“Old Lu, move aside!”

In an instant, Ning Daoran shifted, and Big Green Dragon glowed red hot, a spear radiance swung out containing all his strongest foundation, the Nine Yang Extreme Flames.

“Hong~~~”

The spear radiance smashed viciously atop the demon’s head, soon the Nine Yang Extreme Flames spread swiftly, turning the demon into a flaming figure.

The demon trembled all over and let out a loud scream; the scream was not loud but pierced the eardrums like ultrasonic waves. In its sharp cry, strands of black mist surged from its body like living entities, quickly swallowing up the Nine Yang Extreme Flames released by Ning Daoran.

“Buzzing~~”

Within the demon’s body, flashes of firelight twinkled as if it was forcefully devouring the Nine Yang Extreme Flames.

“What is this thing?!”

Ning Daoran was shocked and swiftly slapped his Storage Bag; the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation rose from the ground, golden silk swords swept through like a fierce storm in an instant!

However, while the sword light left wounds on the demon’s body, these wounds seemed to self-repair instantaneously like holes poked in a mudpit, while the misty Geng Metal Essence on the Golden Silk Sword notably thinned.

Can this creature even devour Geng Metal Essence?!

Astonished, Ning Daoran quickly recalled the formation and all Golden Silk Swords, lifting his hand, the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet shone bright, and dozens of Ice Swords struck the demon with force.

The demon shrieked sharply and swung its arms, knocking down all the Ice Swords, and slapped fiercely towards him.

Ning Daoran dodged swiftly, his heart filled with alarm. Even the Ice Attribute’s power couldn’t restrain it?

“Again!”

He abruptly stopped, his body flickering with golden thunder, raised his hand and instantly pulled a golden thunderbolt from the sky onto the demon!

Five Thunder Divine Spell, Heavenly Thunder Skill!

“Sizzling~~~”

Amid the loud noise, the golden thunderbolt continuously struck, like a heavenly tribulation.

The demon’s flesh split under the assault, yet the dusky mist on its body continued to devour the thunderlight of the Five Thunder Divine Spell, seemingly healing its injuries rapidly at a visible rate.

Too sinister, way too sinister!

Ning Daoran felt a chill in his heart, even the Five Thunder Divine Spell couldn’t deal with this creature?

By now, he had almost confirmed, this demon had arrived with the Black Tide; in the past, the battlefield at the border swallowed by the Black Tide, it was this creature that slaughtered countless Human Clan Cultivators!

Over a hundred years later, when cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World thought the Black Tide had receded, this creature hid tens of miles underground, most likely brewing the next catastrophe!

Even Ning Daoran found this creature difficult to deal with, one could imagine how Jiang Yu, Gongyang Yan, and others handled it back then?

“Ga~~~”

The demon opened its huge mouth, emitting a fierce cry.

“Ow ow~~~”

Big Stupid Deer also cried loudly, its body radiated brightly, the petals on its fur spun rapidly, suddenly a powerful Five Elements Power operated converting into countless frosts, fierce flames, earth spurs, water arrows, and ten-thousand-year-old stakes attacking the demon from all directions.

“Ga~~~”

The demon screeched fiercely again, twisted by the various attacks, yet it remained unkillable, the misty substance on its body continually absorbing Spiritual Energy and repairing its wounds, as if invincible.

…

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow, now understanding.

This demon could devour the Five Elements Power, any power derived from the five elements of nature couldn’t kill it, even transformations or derivatives of thunder, wind, and ice attributes would be absorbed.

Which meant, a cultivator’s attacks were entirely useless against this creature, it could withstand countless mishaps, but for Human Clan Cultivators, a single misstep might lead to death by this creature!

Back then, it was this very creature that killed Lin Qing’er, Senior Sister Jiang Yu, and the Great Elder!

“Ga~~~”

The demon opened its massive mouth, taunting Ning Daoran with a provocative cry, as if jeering “try and kill me”.

But the next second, Ning Daoran truly made his move.

Forgoing all magical treasures, instead, he channeled the overwhelming Blood Qi, the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture operating vigorously, a huge Dragon Demon Realm appeared behind him, his muscles rapidly swelling, tightening, and strengthening. His body leaped forward like a projectile, landing a fierce uppercut on the demon’s jaw!

“Peng!”

A loud bang, black blood sprayed across the sky!
