Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 367 - 364: Scrape Three Zhang from the Ground

Chapter 367: Chapter 364: Scrape Three Zhang from the Ground

Inside the Dragon Nest, amidst the dazzling treasure, on a pile of Demon Crystal Stones, lay a Demon Dragon Egg about four to five feet tall.

Qin Feng’s eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the enormous Dragon Egg, unable to contain his joy. He hurriedly stepped forward, not even glancing at the priceless treasure on the ground, and walked directly over the golden and demonic crystals to reach the egg.

Looking at the Dragon Egg that nearly reached his chest, Qin Feng couldn’t help but stretch out his palm and stroke it a few times, feeling the vibrant life force within. A smile instantly bloomed across his face.

This was the offspring of a Super Demon Dragon, with boundless potential.

No wonder the Demon Dragon had been so irritable before, and wouldn’t let them explore the mountain at all; it turned out it was here incubating its egg.

Based on the time the Demon Dragon had come here, this Dragon Egg must have been born not many years ago.

While Qin Feng’s mind was occupied with these thoughts, his hands were not slow at all; he lifted the Dragon Egg and placed it into a Spiritual Beast Bag.

After a moment’s thought, he also gathered up the Demon Crystal Stones that had originally been warming the Demon Dragon Egg, and then collected all of the Demon Dragon’s treasures.

Since he had already encountered them, there was of course no reason to let them go, especially since he had previously promised the White Dragon to share half of the Demon Dragon’s treasure, so he certainly couldn’t go back on his word.

However, in Qin Feng’s mind, it would suffice to give the White Dragon the golden gemstones and such which were of little use to him; as for the Demon Crystals, Demon Cores, and various other precious materials and magic items filled with energy, he would keep those himself.

After all, the energy contained in those treasures was more or less tainted with some Demonic Qi, which was not suitable for the White Dragon to use.

With this thought, Qin Feng’s mind relaxed immediately, and he was quite satisfied with his own cleverness.

Just as Qin Feng was raiding the Demon Dragon’s treasures in the Dragon’s Nest, at a distance, the Demon Dragon that was battling with Elder Ling and the others sensed something amiss.

Not only was that its Dragon Nest, and the place where all its treasures were stored, but it was also where its offspring were nurtured. Even though it had rushed out to investigate after suddenly sensing Elder Ling and their presences, it had also set up a guard spell in the Dragon Nest before leaving.

Now sensing movements inside the Dragon Nest, the Demon Dragon was startled and wanted to end the battle immediately to flee.

Unfortunately, it wanted to leave, but Elder Ling and the others were not willing to let it go.

Previously, this Demon Dragon had been so arrogant and tyrannical, even planning to slay them all here, how could Elder Ling possibly allow it to leave peacefully?

As for the White Dragon, with Qin Feng’s order and enticed by the Demon Dragon’s treasure, naturally, it wouldn’t show any mercy.

So they entangled the Demon Dragon and prevented it from leaving.

If they could hold on for a bit longer, surely elders from their Sect who had received the Long-Distance Communication Talisman would come to their aid, and then it would be the Demon Dragon’s time to surrender.

After the Supreme Elders from all factions had fully crushed many Demon Gods in the Red Flame Demon Realm, though there were still large territories not occupied by them, those from the Demon Clan no longer dared to battle them. Yet this Demon Dragon jumped out, wishing to exterminate the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect—that was simply seeking death!

No matter the reason, this creature had boldly defied the trend and challenged the authority of the Beast Taming Sect. The Beast Taming Sect, on their part, would not let it go under any circumstances.

“Roar…”

Sensing the ever-growing disturbance inside the Dragon Nest, and even that its carefully nurtured Dragon Egg had been tampered with, the Demon Dragon immediately roared in anger. Ignoring the loss of energy, it unleashed powerful magic continuously, pushing Elder Ling and the others back for a moment and turning to fly towards the Dragon Nest.

“Demon Dragon, where do you think you are going?”

Elder Ling bellowed, quickly catching up. He unleashed devastating Magic Divine Powers from hundreds of meters away, bombarding furiously to block the Demon Dragon’s path.

He thought the Demon Dragon wanted to escape, so he firmly hooked onto it.

Anyway, he had never intended to slay the Demon Dragon, even though the beast was already seriously injured, it was not something he and the White Dragon could kill. In fact, if the Demon Dragon truly went berserk and caught one of them in a crazed pursuit, it was very likely that both the White Dragon and the Bengal Tiger would be slain, although the Demon Dragon would probably also suffer severe injuries and not escape after the battle.

As for Elder Ling, he was proficient in the Fire Escape technique and could escape in critical moments.

However, now that the Demon Dragon sought to flee, he certainly wouldn’t let it go easily.

A Super Demon Beast that harbored malice towards cultivators, if it really hid in the shadows and ambushed disciples from various sects, would cause tremendous losses. Therefore, powerful beings like the Demon Dragon, which clearly showed hostility, were always killed on sight by the higher-ups of the sects, who would never show mercy.

To be merciful to an enemy is to be cruel to one’s own people. The Cultivation World indeed had those of pure heart, and even within the sects, there inevitably would be those of a gentle nature. But such people would definitely be kept by the higher-ups within the Mountain Gate to cultivate or to teach disciples and not sent to battle, lest they cause trouble.

The two sides continued to fight and move for a full quarter of an hour, after which the Demon Dragon finally neared its Dragon Nest.

Qin Feng, who had already scavenged all of the Demon Dragon’s treasures and was now digging out large chunks of pure Demon Crystal Stones from the Demon Crystal Mine in the depths of the Dragon Nest, heard the fighting drawing closer. The roar of the Demon Dragon was already not far from the Dragon Nest, and his heart suddenly seized with panic.

He dared not stay any longer, the Ruyi Golden Light in his hand turned into sword lights, sharply prying a fire-red Demon Crystal Stone, as big as a millstone, from the vein and stowing it into his bag. Then, a flash of yellow light shone on his body, as he used the Earth Escape Divine Power to instantly flee.

Otherwise, once the Demon Dragon locked onto his position, even if he could burrow underground, he would likely be attacked by the Demon Dragon.

After all, having reached the level of a Super Demon Beast, with transcendent strength, whether it be spiritual attacks or magic onslaughts, it had the means to assail Qin Feng, and hiding underground would not make him any safer.

Now, without the power of transformation, relying solely on the strength of the Golden Core Realm to withstand a Super Demon Beast of the Dharma Image Realm was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

Therefore, he made his escape quite decisively.

Outside, when the Demon Dragon scanned its Dragon Nest with its spiritual power and discovered not only its Dragon Egg was missing but also all its treasures had vanished without a trace.

Even the Demon Crystal Mine in its Dragon Nest had been dug into a pocked landscape.

Others scrape the land three feet deep, but Qin Feng, even better, had dug the good spots more than thirty feet deep!

“Roar…”

At this, the Demon Dragon’s eyes turned blood red in an instant.

It held on to a glimmer of hope and rushed to the entrance of the Dragon Nest, opening its dragon eyes wide to peer inside.

As before, when it scanned with its spiritual power, nothing remained.

Of course, it also did not see the thief who had stolen its Dragon Egg and treasures.

“You band of robbers, despicable and shameless thieves!”

The Demon Dragon instantly reached the peak of its fury, turning around to look at Elder Ling and the others, “Return my treasures and child to me at once, or else, I will kill you all!”

Elder Ling was somewhat baffled but quickly realized that it was probably Qin Feng’s doing.

After all, he had previously mentioned the Demon Dragon’s treasure, and perhaps Qin Feng had taken the opportunity to sneak in and steal it while they were fighting.

Though he guessed it, he couldn’t admit it, for the Demon Dragon might indeed launch an all-out attack on them.

So, Elder Ling put on a face of innocence, “Are you mad? We’ve been battling you all along, and just now, Junior Brother Qin had to retreat because he was no longer able to fight. The other disciples were so frightened by you that they ran to the back. Where would we have the energy to care about your nest?

“Also, could it be that you have some other enemy who took the chance to sneak into your Dragon Nest while we were fighting you?”

Faced with his accusation, the Demon Dragon indeed harbored some doubts.

Still, these people were the most likely culprits.

Especially the sly and treacherous one who had previously withdrawn from the battle, it was almost certain that this mischief was the doing of that youngster.

Thus, the enraged Demon Dragon became uncontrollably furious, hurling all sorts of ferocious magic at Elder Ling, paying little attention to the Bengal Tiger and White Dragon anymore.

“It was your people who did it.”

The Demon Dragon roared, “I don’t care. Make your people return what they have taken, or else, I will kill you!”

However, its verbal threats were fiercer than its true intentions, which were to capture Elder Ling alive and use his life to ransom back its treasure and Dragon Egg.

The Demon Dragon had some understanding of the Human Clan Cultivators, knowing that these fellows valued loyalty and brotherhood, especially among sect members who had many rules. They weren’t like the Demon Clan, greedy and selfish; once something of value fell into a demon’s hands, they wouldn’t care, even if it belonged to a close kin.

Under the Demon Dragon’s forceful attacks, Elder Ling was inwardly lamenting.

Previously, he and the White Dragon shared the burden of the Demon Dragon’s attacks, which wasn’t too bad. The White Dragon was restraining the Demon Dragon, allowing Elder Ling to have the freedom to both defend and attack, advance and retreat.

But now, the Demon Dragon only spared a small portion of its effort to guard against the two giant beasts, concentrating most of its power on Elder Ling, who suddenly found himself struggling to hold on.

It was fortunate that he didn’t have to withstand it for long, as a powerful aura was swiftly approaching from the distance.

That was Ning Wuxu.

He had sustained some minor injuries during a major battle with the Demon Clan, fighting alongside several Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators against a few newly risen Demon Gods. He had been recuperating at the back, but as soon as the sect’s disciples received the Long-Distance Communication Talisman’s call for help from Elder Ling, they rapidly informed all cultivators above the Dharma Image Realm who were still behind, to see who would go and deal with the audacious Demon Dragon that dared to attack the Beast Taming Sect’s cultivators.

Ning Wuxu knew that Qin Feng had set out with Elder Ling and the others. Concerned for his disciple’s safety, he promptly volunteered, quickly leaving the rear and heading in this direction.

Once he felt the distant battle’s vibrations, to intimidate the Demon Dragon, he released his own aura early, aiming to make the Demon Dragon apprehensive, at least deterring it from killing.

As for escaping, he didn’t care too much. In fact, his intention was to scare the Demon Dragon away.

Of course, it wasn’t about truly letting the Demon Dragon escape, but rather to prevent it from harming his own people.

After all, the Demon Dragon could not truly get away.

With his Escape Technique, once he locked onto its aura, even if he let the Demon Dragon run three hundred ninety miles ahead, he could catch up quickly.

Moreover, as he got closer, he could sense that the Demon Dragon had sustained severe injuries. In such a state, there was no way it could evade his pursuit.

“Roar…”

Feeling the rapidly approaching powerful aura from afar, terror gripped the Demon Dragon’s heart.

The approaching figure was too powerful. According to the Demon Clan’s classifications, it was a Demigod Realm powerhouse, not someone it could contend against!

Shocked, it wanted to shake off the entanglement of the one man and two beasts before it and flee quickly.

At this point, it could no longer care about its treasure and Dragon Egg.

The treasure could be recollected after being lost, given the chaos of the current Demon Realm. The few remaining Demon Gods no longer had the energy to manage what was beneath them, and the Demon Dragon could plunder the cities of the Demon Clan to recollect treasures without fear of powerful beings daring to trouble it.

As for the Dragon Egg, it could be reproduced. After all, it was not difficult to find male Demon Dragons.

If it came to that, fleeing this realm and seeking out other male Giant Dragons in different worlds would do. There was even a chance of bearing a few mutant Dragon Babies.

But if its life was lost, then it would truly have nothing!

Therefore, after sensing Ning Wuxu’s potent aura, the Demon Dragon instantly regained its composure from its previously enraged and violent state, shifting from madly attacking Elder Ling to furiously assaulting the White Dragon.

After all, Elder Ling had been blasted thousands of zhang away by it and had sustained some injuries, temporarily unable to entangle with it, whereas the White Dragon and the Bengal Tiger constantly launched attacks at it.

The Demon Dragon had realized that among the two, the White Dragon, with wings, had a faster flying speed. Hence, it only needed to fend off the White Dragon to forcibly escape.

Indeed, that was the case. After repelling the White Dragon with several powerful magic attacks, it immediately turned and fled, even though the Bengal Tiger roared and pursued with Wind Control fervently. But under the Demon Dragon’s reckless sprint, unconcerned with its own consumption, it quickly left the Tiger behind.

Elder Ling glanced at Ning Wuxu, who was quickly approaching in the distance, and immediately felt a sense of relief.

“Do not chase.”

He beckoned his Spiritual Beast, calling the Bengal Tiger back to his side.

After all, even if this Spiritual Beast caught up, it would not be able to defeat the Demon Dragon and could even be desperately counterattacked and killed by the anxious Demon Dragon; that would be a significant loss for him.

Moreover, he didn’t believe that the severely injured Demon Dragon could escape Ning Wuxu’s pursuit.

The reputation of the Spiritual Snake Lineage’s Great Elder was not unfounded. Although Ning Wuxu, for some reasons, had not broken through to the Immortal Dao, his many years of accumulation in the Primordial Spirit Realm made his Cultivation formidable and his Daoist spells profound, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Just a few breaths after the Demon Dragon had rid itself of their presence, Ning Wuxu, whose form was like a fleeting shadow, was rapidly nearing.

“Greetings, Martial Uncle Ning.”

Although Elder Ling was an Elder of the Vermilion Bird Lineage, he had just advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm a couple hundred years ago. He belonged to the same generation of cultivators as Zhao Qiankun, Ning Wuxu’s chief disciple; hence, he addressed Ning Wuxu as Martial Uncle.

“Mm, how are your injuries?”

Ning Wuxu inquired.

Elder Ling promptly replied, “Reporting to Martial Uncle, they are but minor wounds and nothing serious.”

“That is good.”

Ning Wuxu nodded, not even glancing at the Demon Dragon fleeing in the distance, but instead scanned the battlefield. Not seeing his disciple, he frowned, “Where is my disciple?”

“Master, your disciple is here!”

Not far away, Qin Feng emerged from beneath the ground, flying towards Ning Wuxu with a look of delight on his face.

“Disciple pays respect to Master.”

Qin Feng bowed joyously.

“It’s good that you’re unharmed.”

Seeing no injuries on him, Ning Wuxu was immediately reassured.
