Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 709 - 677 Shanyan Demon King

The cultivators of Jiuhua Sect looked up, and in the blink of an eye, they could only see Lu Ping turning into a tiny black dot, disappearing into the distant sky, making it difficult to trace.

"What incredible speed!"

Seeing Lu Ping fly away in an instant, Li Hanshuang sighed in admiration, "I wonder what kind of power this senior possesses."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fellow sect member immediately speculated, "At least mid-stage crystallization, far beyond our reach."

"I think so too. The way he effortlessly dealt with those Shanyan Demons, perhaps he didn’t even use his full strength!"

"Indeed, that’s crystallization stage! I don’t know when I will be able to step into such a great realm; cultivation is truly not easy!"

"Alright, everyone, let’s speak less."

Listening to the discussions around, Liu Hanyan took one last look in the direction where Lu Ping disappeared, her eyes filled with admiration, then turned her gaze to Li Hanshuang.

"Senior Brother Li, it was truly our fortune to be rescued by a senior. We shouldn’t delay too long and should quickly go to find Senior Brother Gao and the others."

"Very well."

Li Hanshuang’s gaze sharpened as he nodded, "Let’s do as Junior Sister Liu suggested."

Seeing this, the other fellow sect members no longer spoke much and used the time to recover their strength and heal their injuries to prepare for the next action.

Lu Ping’s earlier reminder that there were still demon beasts lurking around, indicating unknown dangers, made them not dare to be careless.

What if they encounter another group of Shanyan Demons? What would they do then?

How could they, with their strength, possibly withstand it?

Could they rely on Lu Ping to rescue them again?

That seems unlikely.

Had it not been for the instruction of the sect’s Inner Sect Elder, they wouldn’t have wanted to set foot here.

It was a helpless move; it would be good to find clues about Senior Brother Gao and the others early and return to Jiuhua Sect sooner.

...

Without further attention to these cultivators of Jiuhua Sect, Lu Ping headed north, entering the location of the Snowfield Spiritual Vein.

During the initial exploration of this spirit vein, Lu Ping had already grasped its size.

In terms of area, it was comparable to two Cyan Lotus Mountains.

Moreover, it was rich in water and ice attributed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, very favorable for cultivators with Ice Spirit Root and Water Spirit Root, allowing them to achieve twice the result with half the effort if they cultivated here.

After more than ten years, returning here, even though he was familiar with the place, Lu Ping still cautiously spread his divine sense to carefully investigate the spirit vein.

As his divine sense spread, it worked like a radar, exploring every inch of the surrounding land.

"Hmm?"

Lu Ping quickly made a discovery.

"Tier Four Demon Beast."

Generally, spiritual veins born from the land’s essence are always occupied by demon beasts.

Lu Ping used his divine sense to explore and indeed found traces of a Golden Core Demon Beast here.

Judging by its aura, it was a middle-grade Tier Four Demon Beast occupying this spirit vein.

This demon beast was currently lurking beneath an ice lake, its body spanning six to seven zhang in size, its back covered with a cyan scale armor, resembling a gigantic green pangolin.

What surprised Lu Ping was that this demon beast was actually a Shanyan Demon!

Compared to the previous Shanyan Demons, this demon beast’s appearance was significantly different, not exhibiting a multicolored look but mainly cyan, with antler-like horns on its head.

It seems that this Shanyan Demon must have undergone some kind of mutation.

"No wonder there are so many Shanyan Demons around; they must have followed this Shanyan Demon King."

Lu Ping stood in mid-air, hovering above the ice lake, surrounded by fierce cold winds and whistling snow, the scenery completely covered in snow and ice.

He could clearly perceive the state of this Shanyan Demon King through the ice lake.

A middle-grade Tier Four demon beast corresponding to a middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

To deal with a middle stage Golden Core demon beast, with Lu Ping’s strength, it would naturally not be challenging.

Acquiring this spirit vein required subduing or slaying this Shanyan Demon King; it seemed an action was necessary.

Lu Ping remained motionless, looking down from a high stance as he slowly raised his right hand.

With his five fingers forming a palm, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged violently.

Streams of spiritual qi were drawn as if being sucked, converging towards Lu Ping’s right palm, swirling up cold winds and snow.

In Lu Ping’s eyes, the divine light was crystal clear as he struck down towards the ice lake with his palm.

The wind and snow became even more severe, accompanied by whooshing winds, as magical power surged violently.

A massive cyan hand seal flew out from Lu Ping’s palm, enlarging in an instant to over ten zhang in size, and fell straight towards the ice lake below.

Rumble!

The cyan giant palm landed on the ice lake, creating a huge splash, with water waves surging.

Centered on the giant palm, the tumultuous waves spread out, roaring layer upon layer like giant waves.

The creatures in the lake, fish, and some small demon beasts were all stunned into a deep stupor by this palm, losing their resistance.

Roar!

At this moment, a low growl echoed from the churning lake.

Soon, underneath the dissipating cyan giant palm, a shadow emerged in the water.

As it moved rapidly, the shadow quickly grew larger.

"So, it’s drawn out."

Lu Ping’s eyes shifted.

Looking closely, he saw the enormous figure of the Shanyan Demon King burst out of the water, opening its mouth wide to bite at him.

In a powerful burst, the Shanyan Demon King shot out like a rocket, covering more than three zhang of distance in a breath.

"Hmph!"

Facing the attack of the Shanyan Demon King, which was well within Lu Ping’s expectations, he merely let out a faint snort.

The reason he used the Great Five Elements Celestial Profound Hand to strike the lake’s surface was precisely to draw out this Shanyan Demon King.

He did not want to fight underwater, where his strength would be compromised.

And indeed, after the palm strike, this Shanyan Demon King was enraged, roaring out as it saw someone intruding into its territory and provoking it, immediately launching an attack.

Lu Ping remained unmoved, showing no trace of panic in the face of the Shanyan Demon King’s attack.

He did not launch another attack but shifted his figure to evade to the side.

Whoosh!

Lu Ping’s figure moved like a specter, shifting more than ten zhang to the side in the blink of an eye, easily dodging the Shanyan Demon King’s assault.

The Shanyan Demon King bit at empty air, its massive body continuing to soar, moving more than ten zhang, then quickly surrounded Lu Ping.

Roar!

Its antlers shone with an icy crystalline luster, like ice-carved, splendidly exquisite.

A roar caused nearby demon creatures to be frightened and overwhelmed, dreading the Shanyan Demon King’s dominance. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"What is that sound?"

In the distance, Liu Hanyan and others were moving towards the spirit vein’s direction, initially amazed by the rich water and ice attributed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here. Upon hearing the Shanyan Demon King’s roar, their attention was instantly drawn.
