Chapter 412: Nine-Headed Snake Demon, Eccentric Ghostly Spirits

Linghe Jie is close to the Space-Time Spirit River, though it is only a Small World.

Yet, blessed by this special timing and location, it possesses a Sixth Realm Spirit Vein no less inferior to that of a Great World!

The existence of this Sixth Realm Spirit Vein is also one of the reasons why Xiongda and Xionger were willing to believe the explanation of the Profound Turtle Sect when they heard that the demons were attacking.

Such a high-level Spirit Vein is sufficient to support a high-level grand formation for a very long time.

Even if they encountered any accidents after moving into Linghe Jie, they could turtle up inside the mountain gate and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Now, the places outside this high-level Spirit Vein in Linghe Jie are already riddled with holes.

It is just like a bad tooth that has been eaten away by蛀蟲.

And around this high-level Spirit Vein, the vegetation has long since been devoured completely.

Only large, desolate pits remain, and inside the pits, demons of various shapes are continuing to eat the soil, deepening the pits.

It is not that they do not want to get close to the high-level Spirit Vein.

It is just that as soon as these demons get close, they instantly feel the pressure of a high-level peer, and then they have to retreat.

Deep within this high-level Spirit Vein.

At the Core Earth Vein of Linghe Jie.

A pale blue, nine-headed snake-shaped demon is lying there, absorbing the spiritual essence of the entire Spirit Vein and Earth Vein.

For the sake of this spiritual essence, this demon at the late stage of Dao Integration.

Even though it sensed that a powerful enemy had appeared in the outside world and wiped out a large number of its kind.

It did not rush out to meet the enemy.

Having entered this Spirit Vein and felt an opportunity for a breakthrough.

The nine-headed snake demon's desire for a breakthrough had already suppressed its other instinctual impulses as a demon.

It just had no intention of attacking outward.

Yet the opponent attacked directly.

There is no help for it; not to mention the large amount of heritage and resources left in Linghe Jie hidden within Cave Heaven Secret Realms.

Even that Sixth Realm Spirit Vein is quite precious to Su Ping, worth expending a little effort to take away.

Therefore, after confirming that no aura above Dao Integration had appeared in Linghe Jie.

Plus, his true self remained in place, prepared to use a Teleportation Talisman to run away at any time.

Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar led the four great Demon Emperors, who were already at the Dao Integration realm, and slaughtered their way down.

Four great Dao Integration demons, paired with one Dao Integration Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Even if those demons threw themselves over without fear of death.

It only made the efficiency of Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar and the others in exterminating the demons faster.

After all, Su Ping, who is not short on Fishing Coins, has plenty of Mana Potions.

Although Mana Potions do not have as great an effect on high-level Cultivators as they do on low-level ones.

That is just a matter of quantity; drinking a few more bottles can solve this minor flaw.

But the benefit of Mana Potions providing an instantaneous, side-effect-free replenishment of Dharma Power is something that all kinds of Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines find hard to provide.

It can be considered as indirectly turning the high-level combat power on Su Ping's side into monsters with nearly endless stamina.

Ao Li manifested her Black Dragon true form, opened her large mouth, and spewed out a light flame hundreds of thousands of meters long.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world in front turned into a world of fire and light.

Whether they were at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul realm, the demons were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye under this light flame.

Leaving only a ground full of Blood Crystals in place... which were then swallowed into the belly of the black dragon in the air with one breath.

There were also a very small number of demons above the Spirit Severing realm who resisted this divine ability and charged over with all their might.

Then, just as they approached within a ten-thousand-meter range, they felt the surrounding space flicker.

Following that, they had already appeared within the dragon claws of Black Dragon Ao Li.

And then, at close range, they, who were imprisoned within the dragon claws, were roasted in all directions by the light flame spewed at close range!

Not long after, these high-level demons were left with only a pile of remains and various Demon Crystals.

On the other side, the Demon Emperor White Ape also unleashed the clone divine ability it had comprehended after reaching the Dao Integration realm.

Accompanied by a low shout from it.

Its entire body split into two, and two split into four.

And finally, after transforming into one thousand and twenty-four identical clones.

These one thousand Demon Emperor White Apes charged over in unison, and in the blink of an eye, they sent the demon army into disarray.

Just as the Demon Emperor White Ape was killing with pleasure, one of its clones smashed a Spirit Severing demon to pieces with a staff.

After its remains fell onto the only intact piece of land in Linghe Jie.

Suddenly!

The Demon Emperor White Apes felt a shock in their hearts, a moment of palpitation.

They saw the ground suddenly crack open, and a huge pale blue snake head rushed out, biting down with the momentum of swallowing the sky.

It bit twelve Demon Emperor White Ape clones and tens of thousands of demons into its snake mouth at once.

"Good fellow!"

The remaining Demon Emperor White Apes were not afraid; after sensing that the clones swallowed inside had lost contact on the spot.

Soon, the remaining Demon Emperor White Ape clones simultaneously smashed hundreds and thousands of staves onto the huge snake head that had extended out.

"Roar!"

The shell of the heavily struck snake head did not appear to have its defense broken, but it roared in pain.

Following closely, more snake heads rushed out from the ground.

And it likewise opened its massive mouth to unleash a devouring divine ability.

However, in this instant, the Demon Emperor White Ape immediately canceled its avatar divine ability.

After merging back into one, it shook its body and transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-tall, armored White Ape Divine Monarch that seemed to stand between heaven and earth.

Holding an Iron Staff wreathed in thunder and Golden Light, it slammed it onto the ground with a boom, creating a vortex of Dharma Power that isolated the suction force from those snake heads not far away.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the divine ability returned without success, a massive hole was completely torn into the earth.

Immediately, a nine-headed snake demon, also ten thousand meters in size, crawled out from the ground and then viciously locked its gaze onto the Demon Emperor White Ape.

"Roar!"

After the nine-headed snake demon crawled out, it unleashed a speed inconsistent with its bloated size, colliding with the Shenchong of the Demon Emperor White Ape in the blink of an eye.

The moment the two sides collided, Golden Light erupted, and terrifying shockwaves spread out in circles.

This caused the already fragile structure of the Linghe Jie to become increasingly fragmented.

Some continents even completely fell apart, turning into countless fragments and drifting away from the Linghe Jie.

Su Ping also looked toward this nine-headed snake demon.

His gaze flickered slightly:

"A Dao Integration late-stage demon?"

"The combat power displayed here is quite a bit stronger than those previous Dao Integration demons."

"If not for the White Ape having the blessing of Netherworld power, and its own Small World being protected by a Jianmu Divine Tree avatar,"

"the Small World within the White Ape would have had a massive amount of energy absorbed by the opponent's bizarre power from that collision just now."

"Since we have encountered a powerful enemy,"

"then I cannot continue to stand by."

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar joined the battlefield, and as soon as he struck, he unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light and a full-force blow from the Heaven-Turning Seal.

At the same time, the other summoned Demon Emperors ignored the remaining demons and chose to attack together.

Black Dragon Ao Li's light flames, Lao Qingniu's Great Strength Bull Demon Fist.

Dream Snake's Dream-Entering Soul-Seizing Curse.

Under their combined attack, and with all of them being special divine abilities and spells born from innate talents,

even the nine-headed snake demon let out a muffled groan from all nine heads at once, and immediately several heads shifted their hatred and opened their mouths to bite over.

One snake head was just about to pounce toward Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar.

It was struck by the Great Void Wheel swung by Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar, causing its head to tilt and a crack to appear on its face.

Then, even more furious, this snake head opened its mouth to aim at Su Ping again and unleash its devouring divine ability.

Su Ping then unleashed a series of spatial Talismans.

After these Talismans merged into the snake head's massive mouth,

they immediately released the Nuclear Bombs within, triggering a nuclear explosion inside the snake's mouth.

Such a nuclear explosion could not harm the snake head itself.

But this explosion!

It caused the snake head's divine ability to be suddenly interrupted.

The resulting backlash caused even the nine-headed snake demon to stiffen, and cracks appeared in various parts of its body.

This flaw was naturally seized upon by the four great Demon Emperors for a fierce assault.

In the blink of an eye, wounds appeared all over the nine-headed snake demon.

"It's quite thick-skinned."

Su Ping clicked his tongue in wonder as he watched the nine-headed snake demon fall into a disadvantageous position.

Although the opponent had high defense and thick health, Su Ping still had many trump cards kept in reserve.

He wasn't using them now, just thinking it would be better to save them.

Now that he saw there was a chance to kill the opponent with his own normal combat power, he was even less in a hurry.

Only, over at the main body's side.

Swish!

As the Sun Moon Star Chart emitted a ray of light,

a three-thousand-meter-long Interstellar Warship appeared beside the Immortal Boat.

As the Dharma Arrays within the warship were all activated simultaneously,

controllable nuclear fusion was fully engaged to provide power.

The Warship Cannon located at the front of the ship slowly protruded and opened.

Revealing its pitch-black muzzle, which exceeded one hundred meters in diameter.

The muzzle aimed at the nine-headed snake demon.

A few seconds later.

It fired a high-speed, purple-blue beam of light carrying thunderous radiance.

With lightning speed, it struck the back of the nine-headed snake demon.

In an instant, it caused the nine-headed snake demon's massive body to tilt violently and collapse onto the ground.

"Awoo!"

The ambushed nine-headed snake demon twisted its snake heads to look toward the direction of Su Ping's main body.

But the only response it received was the next blinding beam cannon shot.

It caused a large hole to be torn open in its body once more, from which a scorching ball of light emerged.

Although relying on its formidable physical body, this demon was still able to avoid death and even wanted to counterattack.

Su Ping felt that this weapon, a combination of technology and the transcendent, was not bad at all.

After all, it could break through the defenses of a demon at the late stage of Dao Integration.

This already approached the offensive capability of a world-breaking divine weapon.

The only problem remained the Spirit Stones; if one wanted the Warship Cannon to have sufficient power, besides increasing the number of controllable nuclear fusion engines,

the accompanying Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Swords Sharp Metal Dharma Array also required High-grade Spirit Stones to function.

Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar seized the opportunity, Heaven-Turning Seal in his left hand, Grand Void Wheel in his right.

In between, he continuously threw out Talismans equipped with Nuclear Warheads.

When the nine-headed snake demon was struck once again and its body stiffened,

he violently threw out the Heaven-Turning Seal and the Grand Void Wheel, unleashing their combined strike.

Suddenly!

The nine-headed snake demon was hit by the Heaven-Turning Seal in the position of its heart within its body.

Its entire body exploded with a boom!

Suddenly!

Everyone was dazed for a moment, just as they thought this Demon Beast was self-destructing.

Su Ping's true self, who was outside, saw a streak of ghostly light rush out, attempting to flee.

"Hehehe, a mere soul body dares to flee in front of a Nether Immortal Body?"

Su Ping released his Nether divine ability.

That streak of ghostly light had just escaped a distance of ten thousand miles.

When it suddenly crashed into a spatial vortex that had appeared out of nowhere.

And then.

With a swish, the ghostly light appeared in the Netherworld, landing and transforming into a gaunt, bald Dwarf old man.

This Dwarf old man had grayish-white skin, and his eyes flickered with an eerie purple light.

With a sweep of his gaze, he realized he had entered someone's Dao Integration Small World.

He first gave a ferocious laugh and shouted:

"I do not know which Daoist this is, daring to imprison this venerable one!"

"This venerable one is Xuanhu True Monarch of the Xuanhu Sect!"

"I ask that you grant me a convenience, Daoist; in the future, this True Monarch will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Xuanhu Sect?"

Su Ping recalled.

He discovered there was not much intelligence, and he could only have learned about this sect from the Xuanling World.

It seemed to be a small-to-medium-sized force with a terrible reputation, considered to be the backers of many Robber Cultivator gangs.

Even the Xuanwu Sect had once clashed with them and had launched expeditions against them several times.

It was just that the other party was particularly cunning, and their main force had never been caught.

Now that he had discovered this sect, it was also related to the demons.

And from this short old man.

While others might not be able to tell, Su Ping could easily see the other party's Dharma Power fluctuations and operational trajectories, which vaguely shared the same destination as those Elders of the Xuanwu Sect.

This could not help but make Su Ping suspect that the Xuanwu Sect and the Xuanhu Sect were very likely of the same root and origin.

The Xuanhu Sect was very likely a faction split off from the Xuanwu Sect to act as their black hands.

Just like how the wealthy and powerful families in the mortal world would all keep private armies that committed evil deeds under the banner of mountain bandits and robbers.

The Dwarf old man did not find anyone responding.

He was so angry he laughed, and began to circulate his divine ability and Dharma Power.

As a result, once he circulated it, he realized something was wrong.

He discovered that the Spirit Qi in this Small World seemed to have consciousness and ignored him entirely.

Furthermore, this Small World seemed to possess a special power.

Taking advantage of when he was absorbing Spirit Qi, it violently infiltrated him, making him feel as uncomfortable as if he had been poisoned.

"What kind of weirdness is this!"

The Dwarf old man knelt on one knee on the ground, spitting out a half-moon-shaped silver-white pendant from his mouth.

This pendant emitted a faint glow and actually had the effect of dispelling evil power and curses.

Naturally, it was also effective against Nether power.

It was just that the effect was weak, and Nether power was constantly surging over from all around.

Even if this special Dharma treasure were miraculous, it was somewhat difficult to sustain.

Furthermore, as the concentration of Nether power all around suddenly increased.

The Dwarf old man also discovered that in front of him, there appeared a military formation composed of Nether Ghost Soldiers and Nether Ghost Generals that blotted out the sky and sun.

The great general at the front of the military formation.

Was even a ten-thousand-meter-tall Incense God, its entire body emitting dense Divine Power!

Originally, the Dwarf old man had seen plenty of Incense Gods in his life and had never been afraid.

But the one before his eyes was clearly different!

This was clearly an Incense Dharma Protector Divine Monarch that had been completely contracted and controlled.

With the help of the world power bestowed by the master here, who is clearly already in the Harmony Realm, and its reinforcement.

This Youming Hufa Shenjun can be completely regarded as a combatant of the Harmony Realm!

Coupled with the dense rows of army formations behind it that know how to provide reinforcement through array formations.

The corners of the old Dwarf's mouth twitched.

For the first time, the look in his eyes when he gazed at an incense deity carried a trace of fear.

"Wait... wait a moment!"

Seeing that the other party was about to take action after appearing.

The old Dwarf hurriedly shouted out loud.

It is just that... the Youming Hufa Shenjun, transformed from the Blood God, ignored all of this.

He only knew to follow Su Ping's instructions: beat the other party half to death first, then talk.

This was very easy.

Although the other party could not absorb the Spirit Qi of the Netherworld and was being eroded by the power of the Netherworld.

He was, after all, a ghost at the Dao Integration realm.

He would not be easily beaten to death in a short while!

"No, don't!"

"Ah! Don't hit the primordial spirit, hitting that will really kill a ghost!"
