NOVEL WEB Chapter 440_2
Following Xian Kong Ancestor's words, Thunder Roc and the other two were so heart-throbbingly tempted that they didn't think twice and followed him into the Dark Star, drilling into the ground in the blink of an eye.
As Thunder Roc and the others excitedly entered the trap, Zhao Sheng suddenly emerged from the Void, his gaze ice-cold as he stared at the Dark Star a hundred miles away.
After waiting for about a dozen breaths' time, a Treasure Light Giant Rat suddenly burst through the ground and surged into the Void.
Zhao Sheng took a step and instantly appeared by the giant rat's side.
Upon seeing his master appear, Xian Kong Ancestor inside the giant rat hastily threw the Seven Star Ruyi.
At the same time, he unhesitatingly sped towards the edge of the Nebula.
Two breaths later, the Colorful Nebula melted away to reveal a passage, into which the two of them flashed.
Just then, the ground of the Dark Star cracked open again, a mass of Thunder Light flying at an unimaginable speed towards the entrance of the passage.
But he was ultimately a step too late.
The passage vanished, Thunder Roc Ancestor barely stopping at the edge of the Nebula, his face ashen as he stared at the dazzling starlight, his body within a hundred meters exploding into a dense mass of electric snakes, the brightness extremely piercing.
Meanwhile, the Sneaky Youth, his face full of terror, finally rushed out of the big hole, frantically fleeing into the distance.
Behind him, one Crystal Corpse after another, along with skyfuls of Crystal Silk, ferociously broke through the surface and thundered into the Void, chasing after the Sneaky Youth.
Zhao Sheng revealed his figure, slowly flying above the spiritual realm, his gaze ice-cold as he looked at Thunder Roc and the Sneaky Youth as if he were looking at two dead men.
At that moment, Xian Kong Ancestor flew over, grinning obsequiously, while Yama and Ou Feng also came out from behind a meteor, quickly flying up and standing behind Zhao Sheng together with Xian Kong.
As it turned out, there was not a single person in the world who wanted to die!
Zhao Sheng, following the same method, forced Thunder Roc and the Sneaky Youth to bow their heads in the face of death, voluntarily open their spirits, and ultimately, the Heart Demon Soul-locking Spell was cast upon them.
...
"He Tai, it's your turn to go down now! Hurry up!"
"Bah, Xian Kong, you push too far! It was your turn, so why is it my turn again?"
Upon hearing this, the Sneaky Youth nearly exploded with rage, jumping up to point at Xian Kong Ancestor and cursing loudly, his big nose resembling a black strawberry twitching continuously, so red it almost dripped blood.
Hearing this, Xian Kong Ancestor's eyes rolled, and he immediately flashed to the side of Zhao Sheng, who was meditating with closed eyes, complaining with a face full of grievance, "Master, you heard him, didn't you? He Tai is unwilling to go, clearly wanting to rebel!"
Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, sweeping his gaze around.
Currently, Thunder Roc was standing at the edge of the meteor, arms crossed and standing proudly to one side, coldly watching the commotion here.
Yama Ancestor had lost his flesh, his Nascent Soul severely damaged, and was now meditating to heal, unable to care about anything else.
The Sneaky Youth's eyes were full of blood vessels, his big nose a bright red, clearly extremely angry.
Seeing his master look over, the Sneaky Youth's body trembled, and a vast, boundless river emerged from the Void, appearing behind him.
Zhao Sheng's gaze swept past him, looking towards the distant Thunder Roc Ancestor, and coldly said, "Thunder Roc, you go!"
Hmph!
Thunder Roc coldly snorted, intending to seize the opportunity to react, but the next second his expression suddenly twisted, appearing to be in extreme pain.
"No need for the master to say more! I will go," Thunder Roc, as proud as ever, quickly submitted under the Heart Demon Curse, bowing his head.
A moment later, the Colorful Nebula melted away to reveal a passage, Thunder Roc reluctantly transformed into a dusky blue Electric Light, flashing and plunging into the spiritual realm, crashing towards the Dark Star with a diameter of a thousand miles.
In the blink of an eye, he had drilled beneath the surface of the Dark Star.
The Sneaky Youth, Xian Kong, and Yama also slowly moved through the Nebula, flying above the Dark Star, waiting for the grand battle to commence.
Boom!
Before long, a thick Thunder Spear suddenly burst through the soil layer, carrying the black-robed Thunder Roc in a hasty flight.
In less than a breath's time, a terrifying beast ninety yards long with a body covered in crystal armor and thorny head horns ferociously split the ground, emitting an earth-shattering ferocity as it surged into the Void with dark clouds rolling.
Following this Void Spiky Monster, Domineering Armored Bull Dragon, Strange Wind Giant Raven, Dark Demon Python, and several other Exotic Beasts and demon corpses swarmed out, with a number of menacing human-shaped Crystal Corpses mixed in between.
Kill!
The Sneaky Youth, frustrated and indignant, could not hold back when the Crystal Corpse appeared and burst out in a yell, as the vast river behind him suddenly whipped up into towering waves.
The huge waves surged ceaselessly; soon, the thousand-yard void around manifested densely packed glistening Water Swords, slashing down on the Void Spiky Monster like a torrential downpour, unstoppable in their sharpness.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sky-full of Water Swords struck the monster's crystalline armor, sinking in instantaneously, puncturing numerous fist-sized holes.
The next moment, murky water columns burst from the holes, shooting up to the sky, carrying large amounts of crystal-like flesh.
However, the Void Spiky Monster seemed unphased, its mountain-sized, shield-like head suddenly burst into dazzling brightness, then spewed out a thick amber beam of light, rushing straight toward the Sneaky Youth.
The Sneaky Youth's figure flashed, retreating a hundred yards like lightning; the beam veered off target by thirty yards, shooting straight into the depths of the void.
Kill!
The sky-full of Water Swords reformed, but this time amidst the rain of swords was a three-inch long Canglan Flying Sword.
The Canglan Flying Sword was He Tai Ancestor's Lifebound Magic Treasure; he wouldn't have used it if he wasn't extremely desperate.
The Flying Sword swelled to ten feet, leading the dense Water Swords like an incomparably sharp Sword Mountain, pressing down on the Void Spiky Monster...
Compared to He Tai's reckless approach, Thunder Roc's combat method was undoubtedly much more sophisticated.
With a gentle flap of its wings, Thunder Roc transformed into a pale blue Electric Light, covering a thousand yards in an instant, its Lifebound Thunder Hammer brutally smashing out; Thunder Balls, large as mountains, typically exploded, reducing a humanoid Crystal Corpse to dust.
A pale blue Electric Light could be seen darting back and forth within the Crystal Corpses, and typically after a few rounds, another Crystal Corpse was destroyed by the thunder.
Yama Ancestor was the most cunning.
Severely injured, he dared not clash directly with the Crystal Corpses, instead summoning a dark black small knife; he moved around while taking advantage of openings to strike back.
As a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master, Yama was like a wounded tiger, the heavier his injuries, the more ruthless his attacks.
Sometimes, a blade of light flashed out from the darkness at an unimaginable angle, and even a hundred-yard-long Great Demon corpse could be instantly split into two.
However, Zhao Sheng could still tell at a glance that Yama was deliberately concealing his skill and had not used his full strength.
The most lackluster of the Four Nascent Souls was Xian Kong Ancestor.
Relying on his uniquely cunning innate divine abilities, he darted east and fled west, while wielding two Rat Teeth Slash Blades, cutting vertically and slashing horizontally; often, only two golden Saber Rainbows could be seen crisscrossing the void, but upon closer inspection, the Crystal Corpses were as lively as dragons, without even a hair missing.
But Xian Kong wasn't entirely useless, he successfully lured away a large group of Crystal Corpses, effectively opening up a sizable battle space for the other three.
Sizzle!
A thigh-thick azure stabbing light, slicing through the void, struck like lightning at Yama's Black Gold Shield in front of him, piercing through it and carrying away a piece of flesh from Yama's arm...
Boom! Boom!
Five sharp giant claws appeared out of nowhere, grabbing towards Xian Kong Ancestor, bringing up roaring bright yellow evil aura, causing the void to tremble nonstop, making the surrounding area within ten miles instantly stiff as a mountain.
Xian Kong Ancestor's face drastically changed, yelling as he dodged with a turn, transforming into a streak of golden light, slipping through the gap between the claws...
Puff!
A large cloud of gray-green poison fog spread out, covering the Sneaky Youth who couldn't escape in time, and from the depths of the fog, an ancient poison insect with three heads and six tails suddenly sprang out, plunging onto the Sneaky Youth's back like a scorpion, its stinger striking down like lightning...
Ah!
…
The Four Nascent Souls held off the encircling Crystal Corpses for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
Seeing the four in great danger, Zhao Sheng finally issued the retreat command.
Upon hearing the command to retreat, the four, as if greatly pardoned, instantly transformed into mystic light, frantically fleeing toward the nebula passage.
Zhao Sheng also felt strange that the Crystal Corpses, clearly having reached the Star Gate entrance, hesitated eerily, not daring to cross the threshold as if fearing something.
No, it should be said that the Void Devil Fungus controlling the Crystal Corpses hesitated, as if the Colorful Nebula were an invisible boundary; the Devil Fungus would face destruction if it dared cross that boundary.
After a round of hunting operations, Zhao Sheng gave Thunder Roc and the others ten days for recuperation.
Once the ten days passed, the Four Nascent Souls Ancestors once again took an Antibacterial Pill, then ventured into the spiritual realm anew, launching another round of grand hunting battle.
