Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 240 - 151: Slay and Seize the Fiendish Qi! (Part 2)

Chapter 240: Chapter 151: Slay and Seize the Fiendish Qi! (Part 2)

With such power, it was no longer a match; it might even be crushed.

"Escape!"

A thought surged from within it, and it turned to transform into a streak of escape light to flee this place.

With such a disparity in power, it could imagine that the opponent, having defeated it, would certainly not let it go. If it didn’t escape now, not to mention the strange aura in the cave on the small island, even the Demon Pill inside it would be hard to preserve.

Whoosh!

However, just as the thought of escaping arose in its mind, a faint sound piercing through the air drilled into its ears.

The next moment, it only felt a chill at its neck, and then its enormous demon body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, losing all motion.

"Ah... "

Its eardrums trembled, trying to make a sound, but both the eardrum and the jaw cracked open a smooth seam, letting air through like a balloon that burst, emitting a meaningless sound.

The enormous demon beast wanted to lower its head slightly to see the anomaly on its neck, but the condition of its head, neck, and body made it impossible to achieve the motion of bowing its head.

And just as it was attempting to lower its head, a severe pain surged from its neck. Immediately, in mid-air, the gigantic head of a Demon Frog slipped off its massive demon body.

Splat!

Then, from the neck of the immense body, black-purple blood surged out like a fountain, as if money were no object.

Thereafter, the huge head of the Demon Frog and its massive headless demon body both began to fall from the sky towards the surface of the lake below.

On the edge of the lake, Xi Hongyi watched this scene, moved her hand away from her eyes, squinted slightly, then opened them wide, red lips slightly open, eyes showing a hint of shock.

"It really... was killed just like that?"

She murmured inwardly, unable to help taking a deep breath.

One must know, this was a Tier Two Upper Grade Demon Beast, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, and its strength among many Tier Two Upper Grade Demon Beasts was definitely not among the weak ones.

Yet such a demon beast, when encountered by Chuan Qi, was slain within just two moves, leaving the body separate from the head.

This meant that, even with Chuan Qi advancing from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, his power compared to the same realm remained strong.

This was indeed rare.

For if it were to be her in the future, upon advancing to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, she feared her Divine Techniques and might weaken in power.

This was not because the breakthrough made the Divine Techniques weaker, but because all Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators come from the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and before breaking through, they were also the strong ones, the elites among the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. The Divine Techniques practiced were very strong in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Therefore, after the breakthrough, relying on the original Divine Techniques, it was difficult to have the advantage over the same realm Foundation Establishment Late Stage that they did against the same realm Foundation Establishment Middle Stage before the breakthrough, appearing as if the powers of the Divine Techniques had weakened.

But on Chuan Qi’s body, she did not see such a change.

In the sky, Qi Chuan watched the two parts of the demon corpse falling toward the lake below, nodded slightly, and with a thought, a deep blue sword light flew toward him. His lips parted slightly, and the still spotless mini Fallen Cold Sword was swallowed into his Dantian.

Then, Qi Chuan moved his body to the site where the giant demon frog fell. Under the support of his mana, the two halves of the demon corpse rose up.

With a thought, Qi Chuan’s hand acted as a knife, casually cutting through the void toward the demon corpse a few times, bringing up a Demon Pill along with over a hundred small black-and-white poison sacs, dropping them into the prepared Jade Box, then storing it in the Qiankun Bag at his waist.

After finishing all this, Qi Chuan intended to discard the remaining demon corpse.

However, seeing Xi Hongyi flying over, he asked, "Do you want it?"

Xi Hongyi glanced at Qi Chuan, her pupils still somewhat surprised. Hearing the question, she nodded and said, "Thank you," then began to process the remaining demon corpse, collecting some materials she found useful.

Though the most valuable items were taken by Qi Chuan, this was, after all, the body of a Tier Two Upper Grade Demon Beast, and there were still many good materials on it.

Usually, she rarely encountered demon corpses of this level, at most only the corpse of a Tier Two Middle Grade Demon Beast.

Seeing Xi Hongyi handling the remaining demon corpse, Qi Chuan paid her no mind, flying directly toward the small island at the center of the lake, as the original agreement of the Earth Demon Spirit Qi in the cave had nothing to do with Xi Hongyi.

However, the premise is that the chilling and evil spirit aura within the cave must be the Earth Demon Spirit Qi; without seeing it firsthand, it could only be speculated that it probably was, not a hundred percent sure.

Soon, Qi Chuan flew over the small island at the center of the lake and descended, appearing in front of the large cave under the low Stone Mountain.

Standing in front of the massive cave, although there was no wind, strands of dense, chilling, evil spirit aura continuously flowed out from within, bombarding Qi Chuan’s body.

Buzz!

With a thought, a shallow Sword Gang emerged on Qi Chuan’s body surface, isolating the chilling and evil spirit aura, preventing it from touching his body in the slightest.

"This aura is a bit ’fierce.’ Without Foundation Establishment Cultivation, even a True Disciple from the Five Sects standing outside the cave would have their life force cut off and die due to the invasion of the Yin and Fiendish Qi."

Qi Chuan mused inwardly.

However, the fiercer this aura, the better it was for him because it meant that the strange aura within the cave was more likely to be Earth Demon Spirit Qi, rather than ordinary Fiendish Qi.

Thinking this, Qi Chuan stepped forward into the giant cave without hesitation.

Clack clack.

As Qi Chuan’s steps fell one by one, empty echoes reverberated within the large cave. Concurrently, a pungent stench of demon beast accompanied by gradually waning demon pressure continuously emerged from within. This was due to the demon frog residing here for years, and even in death, the beast pressure did not dissipate immediately.

Qi Chuan’s expression remained unchanged as he wound around the cave for a while, descending, finally reaching the end.

At the end of the cave, the space suddenly opened up, like forming a vast underground stone chamber, with a small lake in the center, resembling mercury, rippling with waves.

On the left side of the mercury-like small lake, a rough stone nest was constructed, presumably the dwelling of the demon frog.

Moving his gaze from the rough stone nest, Qi Chuan’s eyes refocused on the mercury-like small lake, concentrating on its center.

There, the mercury-like liquid flowed vigorously and actively, seemingly having a "spring eye" below, forming this entire small lake.

At this moment, Qi Chuan took a deep breath.

A thick, cold, and evil aura continuously rose from the mercury-like small lake, unceasingly attacking his position, causing slight ripples on the shallow Sword Gang covering his body.

Nevertheless, Qi Chuan quickly calmed down.

For he was now completely certain that the active "spring eye" in the mercury-like small lake was undoubtedly the Earth Demon Spirit Qi.

And all the liquid in the mercury-like small lake was merely the external manifestation of the Earth Demon Spirit Qi’s activity.

In fact, not just this small lake, even the large lake outside the small island likely formed due to the Earth Demon Spirit Qi’s appearance; originally, it should not exist, being no different in terrain from the rest of the Langya Spirit Realm.

Moreover, if he were to take away this Earth Demon Spirit Qi, the giant lake outside would likely gradually disappear, returning to its original terrain.

Even so, Qi Chuan unhesitatingly took out a peculiar Tier Two Talisman from his Qiankun Bag, preparing to seize the Earth Demon Spirit Qi.
