Chapter 508: Chapter 502: Nine-headed Dragon【Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets Wanted】_1

Below the island.

Sha Chen saw a familiar figure.

It was a group of demons, pointing and marveling at the void portal that had opened in the sky above.

Suddenly, one of the demons screamed, "There’s someone in the void, and it’s a stunning beauty!"

The demons looked at each other, overwhelmed with excitement. But they didn’t dare to be disrespectful, because anyone capable of constructing such a void portal had to possess extraordinary, even saintly, strength. It was uncertain whether this person was the one who had created the portal, but at the very least, their strength certainly wouldn’t be weak.

The group of demons all turned their gaze to their leader.

His face was fierce, his expression cold, and bandages were wrapped around his body, suggesting he was injured. Seeing the void shatter, he became alert. Upon realizing it was a great beauty, and sensing an unfamiliar yet strong aura that didn’t surpass his own, he let out a sigh of relief.

Then his eyes brightened. Having such a great beauty as his prize would be perfect.

While he was lost in these thoughts, someone beside him grew impatient.

"What’s wrong? Seen another beauty and forgotten all about this princess?" The woman snorted and coquettishly pinched the Great Demon King.

The Great Demon King sucked in a sharp breath from the pain. "You woman! You’ll be the death of this King!"

"HEHE," the Great Demon King chuckled. "This King would never tire of the old for the new. However, that woman also seems to be a great demon. We don’t know her background, but if we could subdue her, we’d gain an ally. You know, ever since Ao Lie and his sister went mad hunting us down, we haven’t had a day of peace. Wouldn’t an extra hand be perfect right now?"

It turned out the pair were none other than the Nine-Headed Dragon and Princess Wan Sheng from Luanshi Island.

Previously, Ao Lie and the Dragon Girl, having achieved success in their cultivation, had sought them out, flattened their cave dwelling, and killed many of their subordinate demons. The two of them had also nearly been killed; fortunately, the Nine-Headed Dragon used a secret technique to escape. Princess Wan Sheng also narrowly escaped death. The two of them had come here to regroup and recruit new forces, leading to their current situation.

The Nine-Headed Dragon’s strength was at the Pinnacle Daluo realm, but facing Ao Lie and his sister, he was still at a disadvantage. The siblings were also Pinnacle Daluo, wielding powerful Divine Powers and the complete Dragon Clan Cultivation Techniques, including Great Divine Powers. When they fought, the Nine-Headed Dragon found himself thoroughly outmatched and was quickly defeated. He had escaped here, his injuries still unhealed.

Ao Lie and his sister had already seized their former cave dwelling and, like them, were recruiting followers and amassing power.

Now, upon seeing the White Bone Demon, the Nine-Headed Dragon grew audacious, even daring to think of capturing her.

Sha Chen had opened the void portal and left it open, because he, too, had spotted the Nine-Headed Dragon. He had initially intended to simply send the White Bone Demon to the outside world and consider the matter settled, but then he encountered an acquaintance.

As the White Bone Demon descended, seeing the Nine-Headed Dragon and the other demons, she couldn’t help but frown. She also noticed the ill intent in the Nine-Headed Dragon’s eyes and was about to flee when Sha Chen’s voice reached her ears, calming her instantly.

Then, she landed on the island.

The demons didn’t dare to approach directly but formed a surrounding formation, apparently intending to prevent the White Bone Demon from escaping.

The Nine-Headed Dragon and Princess Wan Sheng stepped forward.

Princess Wan Sheng surveyed the White Bone Demon from head to toe, her heart filled with envy at the sight of such beauty and a powerful aura. She felt inferior and didn’t want this woman around.

So she said, "My King, let’s kill her and take her inner core for our cultivation."

Fearing the Nine-Headed Dragon would be swayed by lust and refuse, she pressed on, "Your injuries haven’t healed. If you refine her inner core, you might recover quickly. Then, if we encounter those two siblings again, we won’t have to keep hiding."

The Nine-Headed Dragon was indeed persuaded. His eyes flickered, and he nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "Miss, you’ve come to the wrong place."

The White Bone Demon said, "I’ve made no mistake. I intend to go out to sea, and this is, indeed, overseas."

The Nine-Headed Dragon retorted, "But you shouldn’t have come to *my* territory. I am the Nine-Headed Dragon. Haven’t you heard of me?"

The White Bone Demon feigned surprise. "Oh, so you’re the renowned Nine-Headed Dragon! It’s said Jinao Island sought to recruit you, but you refused them. Truly remarkable!"

The Nine-Headed Dragon hadn’t expected to be so famous and chuckled with pride. He figured he could subdue the White Bone Demon. It wouldn’t be too late to kill her after he’d had his fun.

But the White Bone Demon continued, "However, I’ve also heard you’re being hunted by a pair of siblings from the East Sea and the West Sea. Are you perhaps hiding here?"

Hearing this, the Nine-Headed Dragon knew instantly he was being mocked and became utterly furious.

He bellowed, "Which insolent demon dares to be so presumptuous before this King? Do you think your pretty face gives you the right to be so irreverent?"

With a thunderous roar, he transformed into a nine-headed giant dragon, opening his blood-red maws, ready to tear the White Bone Demon to shreds.

But the White Bone Demon was incredibly fast, dodging nimbly and causing the Nine-Headed Dragon’s lunges to hit nothing but air.

Seeing the Nine-Headed Dragon still unable to gain the upper hand, Princess Wan Sheng cried out fiercely and joined the fray, simultaneously ordering her subordinates to attack. Her subordinates were all quite powerful. Though only recently recruited, their strength was formidable. They swarmed forward, their momentum overwhelming and their power immense.

However, none could even touch the White Bone Demon, who either easily slaughtered them or evaded their attacks. The White Bone Demon’s speed was exceptional, her moves incredibly sharp, and her techniques seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth.

She shouted fiercely, "A mere Nine-Headed Worm dares to act so presumptuously before me? Do you really think your meager abilities allow you to do as you please?"

The longer the Nine-Headed Worm fought, the graver his expression became. He realized that although the White Bone Demon’s cultivation realm was lower than his, her actual strength was not the least bit inferior. Her combat prowess was terrifying, exuding an immense pressure that made him feel he couldn’t even subdue her, let alone suppress her. He even had a premonition that if the battle dragged on, he might actually be defeated.

Such a thought was ludicrous, yet it felt terribly real, genuinely making him sense danger.

The Nine-Headed Dragon was utterly shocked. My cultivation and strength are clearly superior to hers! Even with some injuries, it shouldn’t affect me this much. Why can’t I defeat her!?

Princess Wan Sheng was equally astonished. Though not particularly powerful herself, she could clearly see that the Nine-Headed Dragon was failing to gain an advantage. Beyond her shock, an overwhelming jealousy surged within her.

At the same time, she began to feel contempt for the Nine-Headed Dragon, regretting ever following such a creature. Ao Lie, despite being somewhat of a libertine back then, had shown her affection. If she had only agreed, she would now be the Third Prince’s wife of the West Sea. But no, she had chosen to follow the Nine-Headed Dragon. She also harbored a hidden resentment towards Ao Lie. Why hadn’t he been more impressive back then? Why hadn’t he given her a reason to look up to him? If he had, she wouldn’t be in this mess.

Now, Ao Lie was outstanding. So young, yet already a Pinnacle Daluo, not inferior to the Nine-Headed Dragon in the slightest. Moreover, he could defeat the Nine-Headed Dragon in single combat. His strength and combat prowess were truly enviable. To achieve such strength at his age meant his future was limitless. What’s more, the Nine-Headed Dragon himself had said that Ao Lie obtained an ancient heritage Cultivation Technique of the Dragon Clan; he was destined to go much further. Perhaps he could even become a Quasi-Saint in the future, leaving the Nine-Headed Dragon far, far behind.

Princess Wan Sheng was filled with immense regret. A Quasi-Saint True Dragon was far more powerful than the Nine-Headed Dragon. Anyone could see Ao Lie was destined for greater heights, while the Nine-Headed Dragon had been stuck for ages, his prospects bleak.

She secretly resolved that after this incident, the next time she encountered Ao Lie, she would play the pitiful victim, feigning innocence to win him back. Then, they could join forces to eliminate the Nine-Headed Dragon, and she would resume her position as the Third Prince’s wife.

But for now, the priority was to eliminate this demon before her, consume her inner core, and strengthen herself.

As Princess Wan Sheng was lost in these turbulent thoughts, her expression suddenly changed drastically. Because she recognized the Divine Powers the demon was displaying—they were eerily familiar. The 72 Polymorphic Transformations, the Thirty-Six Transformations, Qingyun Zong, and... yes, a palm technique she knew all too well.

The Heavenly Splitting Palm.

The White Bone Demon had mastered the Heavenly Splitting Palm. Although only at a minor level of proficiency, its power was still immense. Most of those who followed Sha Chen were demons, possessing exceptionally robust physical bodies, which made them suitable for cultivating the Heavenly Splitting Palm. With just a little guidance from Sha Chen, they could master it. The White Bone Demon was no exception.

Ao Lie and the Dragon Girl also knew it and used it in their battles.

Princess Wan Sheng gasped.

The Nine-Headed Dragon was struck multiple times, his eyes widening in disbelief. It seemed he, too, had noticed this.

He stammered in shock, "You... you... how do you know the Heavenly Splitting Palm?!"
