Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 341: Then you should go even more, otherwise it would be very unfilial!

In truth, Ning Xuan hadn't expected this outcome either. When the Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi assaulted him, his only recourse was to activate everything in his arsenal at once. That was what led to the current scene.

However, he came to his senses almost instantly and began searching for the cause. It didn't take long for him to understand.

It was the Taowu Divine Vein that was operating! He had never imagined that the Taowu Divine Vein, which could swallow and expel the essence of the earth, was capable of refining the Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi.

As for any other reasons... it doesn't matter anymore! Because both the Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi could be refined into Element Force!

Although this caused an instantaneous mutation in the Element Force within him—his originally pure Hao Ran Energy turning pitch-black as if it had become demonic—Ning Xuan felt no discomfort in his body. Naturally, he didn't stop.

The Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi were devoured at an even faster rate.

Heavenly Charm, standing beside Ning Xuan, was utterly dumbfounded.

Deep within, some of the Scorpion Race creatures managed to regain their senses, only for their hearts to begin trembling wildly. They could clearly sense the world's Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi being rapidly drained away.

"He... He's from the Human Race, isn't he?"

"How could a human possibly devour our energy and remain unharmed?!"

"Not only is he unharmed, his strength has increased!"

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

The scorpions could no longer contain themselves, and their ranks erupted into chaos.

Then, something even more outrageous occurred. A great howl filled the air. Not only was the tsunami of Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi surging toward Ning Xuan completely devoured, but some of the weaker Scorpion Race creatures were also swept up by the powerful suction! Their sharp scorpion tails became utterly useless, and to their horror, they discovered that even the Element Force within their bodies was being drained away!

"AAAHH, HELP ME! THIS GUY IS A DEMON!" one screamed in terror.

None of its kin came to the rescue, as many were already struggling to save themselves. More than one creature was being swept away!

Behind Ning Xuan, Heavenly Charm, who had regained her senses, stared with her mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist. For some unknown reason, she was unharmed. But as she looked out, she saw every form of energy in the world surging toward Ning Xuan's location, only to be voraciously devoured.

Although she had previously confirmed that Ning Xuan was a genuine human, witnessing this spectacle made her doubt her own judgment.

Could his ancestor be a mythical beast? Otherwise, how could something so outrageous be happening? In the entire Tianyang Realm, not even the Revered Ones are capable of such a devouring phenomenon!

Her line of thinking wasn't entirely wrong. Ning Xuan did have the bloodlines of twelve mythical beasts in his body. However, her perspective was still too narrow. To others, mythical beasts were remote and unattainable, but to Ning Xuan, they were merely a few of the bloodlines he possessed. The power of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture was immeasurable!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Amidst the howling, a series of collisions rang out as the scorpion creatures, like helpless boats in a storm, were slammed into one another.

"Hel—urgh..."

They couldn't even utter a complete word before being violently devoured.

Further in, the upper echelons of the Scorpion Race dug their claws deep into the earth, yet they were still dragged back, carving one deep abyss after another into the ground!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Finally, some of the scorpions could no longer withstand the devouring force and their bodies exploded in mid-air!

Ning Xuan's devouring of the Poisonous Miasma and turbid qi was absolutely unrestrained!

This continued until a brilliant light suddenly flared from within the Stele Forest. Ning Xuan was jolted back to his senses. It was a warning from the World Tree Fruit!

A cold sweat broke out on Ning Xuan's back. He wasn't the only one devouring; the World-Ending Calamitous Earth was doing it too!

Damn it, no wonder my realm has advanced so little! Realizing his cultivation was merely at the Tenth Heavens of the King Realm, Ning Xuan couldn't help but complain.

Nearby, Heavenly Charm had the sudden urge to beat him up.

Are those the words of a human?! In that short time, his aura has become more than twice as terrifying as before, and this guy still isn't satisfied! He's really asking for a beating!

Of course, she wasn't actually going to attack Ning Xuan, so she immediately looked for someone else to vent on. Her eyes landed on a scorpion creature trying to flee.

"Where do you think you're going!"

With a sharp cry, Heavenly Charm vanished. When she returned, a small scorpion was trembling on the ground before them.

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Please, please don't kill me!" it stammered, already scared out of its wits by Ning Xuan's earlier display.

Ning Xuan didn't question it, instead casting a skeptical gaze at Heavenly Charm.

"It's the chieftain of the Scorpion Race," Heavenly Charm said with conviction, knowing what Ning Xuan was thinking. "It definitely knows how to get to Moyang City." She pointed in a certain direction as she spoke.

"I know, I know the way!"

Before Ning Xuan could even figure out how Heavenly Charm was so certain, the small creature scrambled to its feet. It twisted its body and began to lead the way.

Very well. Its identity was no longer important. As long as it could lead them to Moyang City, that was all that mattered.

With that, Ning Xuan's party set off, crossing swamps, fording rivers, and traversing mountain ranges.

「Five days later.」

The scorpion chieftain suddenly stopped before a stretch of dense grassland.

"Walk toward the sun at high noon, and you will enter Moyang City," it explained.

Ning Xuan was surprised. He had assumed Moyang City would be located near a desert or a gobi, not in such a lush and verdant place. Without this small scorpion, finding the city would have been truly difficult.

"You've done well," Ning Xuan said generously. "Once we're inside Moyang City, if you see anything you like, let me know."

After all, the things inside Moyang City don't belong to me, so I won't feel bad about using them as payment.

Who would have thought that at Ning Xuan's words, the scorpion chieftain would immediately drop to the ground in terror. "I-I acted willingly! I dare not ask for a reward! Please, have mercy and just let me go!" Its whole body trembled.

Ning Xuan raised an eyebrow and immediately looked toward Heavenly Charm. He recalled her strange expression when she first heard of Moyang City, though she had only mentioned its peculiarities when he asked. Now, he was very curious to know what was inside the city that inspired such fear.

Heavenly Charm's face paled slightly. However, remembering Ning Xuan's recent feat gave her a rare sliver of confidence. As for his unspoken question, she didn't have a full answer either.

"Moyang City is a place of no return! Countless experts have tried to investigate its secrets, but not a single one has ever come back out! That includes the previous Palace Master of my Heavenly Charm Palace!" Heavenly Charm's expression grew very solemn.

Seeing the small scorpion nod, Ning Xuan asked subconsciously, "Could it be that your previous chieftain also went in and never came out?"

"Not just the old chieftain! Several Grand Elders also disappeared in Moyang City! Otherwise, we wouldn't..." The little scorpion trailed off, glancing nervously at Ning Xuan before quickly shutting its mouth.

I can't say another word. If I do, I definitely won't see the sun tomorrow!

"All the more reason for you to go, then. Otherwise, wouldn't that make you unfilial?" Ning Xuan said with a sly smile. Then, glancing up at the sun which had reached its zenith, he sent the small scorpion flying with a kick.

It vanished amid a series of wails.

Ning Xuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the spot where it had disappeared. "Interesting," he murmured.

Without another thought, he strode forward.
