Chapter 807 - 672: Turmoil in the Blessed Land (Part 3)
"Speak quickly." Daoist Heaven-Burning’s voice was cold and merciless, his heart only wishing to hasten the discovery of the innate energy’s whereabouts to mend his injuries and enhance his cultivation.
"I’ve lived for so long, I truly don’t know."
’Puh!’ With a casual strike from Daoist Heaven-Burning, the village chief spewed blood and was sent flying, sparking cries and screams all around.
He barged into the village directly, rudely starting his search, with a flying sword shooting out from his sleeve, creating all sorts of destruction.
This area was desolate, with only this manor existing here, there had to be something extraordinary about it.
Soon, he discovered a well, the only one in the village.
The opening of the well was shrouded with a misty white vapor, which even Daoist Heaven-Burning could feel a chill from, given his current cultivation.
"This well isn’t simple!" Daoist Heaven-Burning was overjoyed, feeling as if the innate energy was beckoning him.
He shot a beam of white light into the well, but after investigating for a long time, he couldn’t find anything unusual, and grew restless.
He casually summoned a fire dragon, intending to destroy the well by force and compel the innate energy to emerge.
"Master, this is the well our generations have depended on for survival!"
"If you destroy it, we’ll all die!"
"Master, please spare us!"
The villagers around pleaded bitterly, but Daoist Heaven-Burning remained indifferent, preparing to forcibly cast his spell.
At this moment, the black-skinned boy who had first greeted him charged at him fiercely.
"Ridiculous." Daoist Heaven-Burning casually summoned a purple fire lotus to block in front of him.
Anyone who dared to touch it would be turned to ashes, even a Body Cultivator at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform would be in trouble.
However, the black-skinned boy glimmered with a faint black-red light and unexpectedly rushed to Daoist Heaven-Burning unharmed, and grabbed him.
"Why do you force me?"
He suddenly opened his mouth, which astonishingly opened 360 degrees, revealing fine, blood-colored sharp teeth, and bit directly toward Daoist Heaven-Burning’s neck.
’Crunch!’
Daoist Heaven-Burning let out a scream, using the flying sword to forcibly strike the black-skinned boy away.
But by this time, the surrounding villagers had all surrounded him.
On each of their faces, black-red light flickered, creating an eerie sight.
"Why do you force us?"
They fiercely charged forward one by one.
Soon, the screams gradually weakened, and the chilling sounds of biting and chewing incessantly emerged.
...
At the foot of a mountain over three hundred zhang high.
The offspring of the Demon King, the nine-tailed spirit fox, along with several subordinate demons, barged straight in, their eyes glowing.
Before them lay several mu of medicine fields.
The thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, resembling an infant, the ten-thousand-year-old golden ginseng shimmering with gold, the spirit pine mushrooms surrounded by floating clouds...
These were all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the main world cultivation realm, each capable of replenishing vital energy, greatly beneficial for the cultivation of the Demon Clan.
Surrounding these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stood little squirrels that walked upright.
Many squirrels wore bibs, some holding medicinal shovels, as if these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were planted by them.
"What treasures! With these, our cultivation can break through again!" The nine-tailed spirit fox rejoiced, her voice sweet and soft as a young girl’s.
She hurriedly dashed in with her demon subordinates to seize them, riling up the surrounding squirrels.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The squirrels, only about a foot tall, leaped up to stop them, each being slapped dead with a paw, powerless to resist.
The nine-tailed spirit fox and her demon companions rushed into the medicine field without hesitation, feasting wildly, stuffing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into their mouths haphazardly, causing their auras to grow frantically.
With continuous devouring, their expressions grew increasingly excited.
Unnoticed by them, dark red fungus began to sprout from all over their bodies.
The black squirrels who had just died miserably also eerily rose from the ground like demons.
Each wore a strange expression, flickering with black-red light.
...
In a hidden mountain valley within the blessed land, where a large patch of black-red fungus, bamboo, ginseng-like plants grew.
A deeply low voice suddenly resonated.
"Devouring this wave of resources should suffice to restore part of my cultivation, allowing me to emerge into the world... It has been millennia; I will surely avenge the grudge of the past!"
...
