Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 633 - 628 Kunpeng Essence Blood
"Yes,"
"King Jiao Dragon, rest assured, these guys won’t be able to escape."
Several from the Demon Clan responded in turn.
They were completely confident in capturing their opponents, as they had taken the opportunity to severely injure the Demon Clan not of their faction, and now, whether they were Human Clan Cultivators or Great Demons, all were considered easy prey trapped in a pot, with no escape from their fate.
Hearing this conversation amongst the Demon Clan, a thought struck Qin Feng.
He knew that these demons must have discovered some secrets of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, perhaps an opportunistic treasure left by an Ancient Kunpeng Great Power.
Only, those treasures required special methods to access, and the Black Jiao Dragon King and his kin were putting on a show, capturing these Human and Demon Clan members, not for sacrifice, but to use them either as tools to unlock the Prohibitions with Secret Techniques or as sources of power.
With thoughts racing through his mind, Qin Feng glanced left and right a few times but ultimately decided against taking the risk of pretending to be captured.
Who knew what means these demons would use to imprison them? If they utilized Techniques capable of sealing Divine Sense and repressing the soul, he feared the possibility of the fake becoming real!
Hence, when a demon launched another attack at him, Qin Feng acted as if his strength had waned, allowing himself to be blown away directly by the opponent.
However, the direction in which he was blown away was a pathway guarded by demons. He was confident in breaking through their defenses and leaving the place.
As expected, the demon was somewhat cautious, but because Qin Feng had always shown war power at the Dharma Image Realm level, the attacker somewhat underestimated him. As a result, when Qin Feng suddenly erupted with Primordial Spirit Realm war power, he repelled his foe and used Space Movement to escape instantly, managing to get away before the others could react.
In fact, due to the defense mishap on that side, two other Human Clan Cultivators also acted quickly, using Secret Techniques to escape before the demon could regroup and re-seal the passage.
"Damn it!"
Black Jiao Dragon King’s face turned pitch black as he cursed angrily.
But it was too late for anger now; he couldn’t just kill the Great Demon responsible for the lapse in defense, could he?
Although he certainly felt like beating the creature half to death and throwing it into the group of captives, he still needed to consider the emotions of the other Great Demons and dared not strike at his own kin just yet, lest their group dissolve.
"What now... We don’t have enough people, what should we do?"
"Hmph, what can we do? We’ll just have to capture a few more later."
Despite his annoyance, Black Jiao Dragon King quickly suppressed his fury to look for a solution!
...
Meanwhile, after escaping, Qin Feng did not go far.
After making a detour, he intentionally returned nearby.
Then, he released the Swallowing Sky Toad and had it open its mouth wide, jumping straight into its belly to hide within the Swallowing Sky Toad.
Out of curiosity about the treasure mentioned by the Black Jiao Dragon King and his cohorts, he prepared to sneak back to take a look.
He himself did not dare be imprisoned by those Great Demons, but if it were his subordinate Spiritual Beasts, then it wouldn’t be a problem.
Even if the Swallowing Sky Toad’s Cultivation were sealed, he could always recall it back into the Demon Refining Pot and release other Spiritual Beasts to fight the enemy.
More importantly, as long as his own Cultivation remained intact, he was confident that he could snatch an escape route unexpectedly from those Great Demons in their unguarded moments.
If it really came down to it, he could also unleash several Spiritual Beasts to throw off the enemy’s formation, ensuring he could find an escape route one way or another. This was also the reason he dared to go back.
The Black Jiao Dragon King and others had sealed the Cultivation of all the Human Clan and Demon Clan members they had captured, then quickly harvested the Life-Stealing Fruit from the Spiritual Pool, ready to leave the area.
But just as they had taken a few steps, they bumped right into a rather large Spiritual Toad.
Judging by the aura of this Spiritual Toad, it too possessed Cultivation at the Dharma Image Realm level.
"Well, isn’t this a coincidence,"
Black Jiao Dragon King could not help but chuckle: "I was worried about not having enough numbers, and here comes a piece of prey delivering itself right to our doorstep!"
"Ha ha ha..."
The rest of the Great Demons all burst into laughter, completely dismissing the apparently formidable Spiritual Beast before them.
"This Spiritual Toad’s flesh looks tender and delicious; what a pity it’s not the right time, otherwise, I’d really like to have a taste!"
Snake Princess stepped forward with a playful smile, her slender waist twisting like a bonelessly supple willow, oozing charm with every move: "Come here, little Spiritual Toad, I have something tasty for you!"
Her words seemed light-hearted, but the sudden appearance of cold, vertical pupils in her eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.
In fact, the Swallowing Sky Toad did feel as if it was being targeted by a ferocious giant beast, which made it extremely uncomfortable.
Following Qin Feng’s instructions, the Swallowing Sky Toad moved to retreat as if fleeing, but the Snake Princess, with her tempting sways, quickly caught up.
A soft sword appeared around the Snake Princess.
The blade was transparent and crystal clear as if made from autumn water, and just like her eyes, appeared warm but hid a ruthless chill.
The soft sword spun, extending infinitely in length, becoming hundreds of feet long like a ribbon, wrapping around and swirling in layers, enveloping the Swallowing Sky Toad within.
The Swallowing Sky Toad did not use Space Divine Power but instead lit up with endless Star Light from its back, countering the Snake Princess’s assault with Star Divine Power.
"Turns out it’s a Swallowing Star Toad, probably of impure Bloodline, which explains its odd appearance!"
The group of Great Demons behind watched the Swallowing Sky Toad use its Star Divine Power and immediately understood, appearing as if they had seen through the weakness of the Swallowing Sky Toad.
With the vast difference between the realm of the Dharma Image and the Primordial Spirit Realm, coupled with Qin Feng’s order for the Swallowing Sky Toad not to use its other abilities, its war power couldn’t be fully unleashed. This led to it being captured alive by the Snake Princess after not too much time had passed.
After the Snake Princess released a Demon Binding Rope that tightly bound the Swallowing Sky Toad, she dragged it along behind the Black Jiao Dragon King, and the group continued on their way.
Qin Feng hid inside the Swallowing Sky Toad’s belly, observing the outside scene through the toad’s eyes.
He saw that after quite a convoluted journey of about half an hour, they finally arrived in front of a huge palace.
The grand doors of the palace were tightly closed, with heavy prohibitions in place. However, the Black Jiao Dragon King and his group were well-prepared. They took out various treasures capable of breaking the prohibitions, and in no time at all, they breached the palace gates and entered.
Upon entering, both Human Clan Cultivators and Demon Clan felt a tightness in their chests and stiffness in their movements.
They didn’t encounter any powerful enemies, but were instead deterred by an invisible majesty that overawed their spirits.
Even as Qin Feng hid in the belly of the Swallowing Sky Toad, he still felt his expression tighten due to this oppressive force.
"What is that?"
Qin Feng quickly looked up, seeing the scene inside the palace through the eyes of the Swallowing Sky Toad.
This spacious hall was lavishly arranged without much decoration, but it was filled with a rich Spiritual Energy.
This place turned out to be the location with the most abundant Spiritual Mechanism in the entire Beiming Cave Heaven.
It seemed that this was where the Great Power of the Kunpeng Clan underwent secluded cultivation and meditation.
However, the once-mighty being had passed away, leaving only an empty and silent palace.
But within this empty palace, there were still several feathers floating around.
They were several dozen zhang long blue feathers.
At the base of each feather, there was still a hint of blood red—upon closer inspection, it was blood, Essence Blood, that had stained the roots.
Ordinary feathers with a speck of blood might not be noticeable, but these feathers, being several dozen zhang long, were different. The bloodstains at the base of the feathers were about a zhang in length.
Moreover, the Essence Blood had been there for so long that it had turned into beads of blood, each shining crystal clear, plump and full, looking like the most beautiful red agate in the world yet exuding an overwhelming Qi Blood Power and endless majesty, making one feel as though facing an enormous ancient beast.
The source of the awe-making aura that frightened all demons within the hall was indeed these feathers and Essence Blood.
"What is this?"
The similarly imprisoned White-Headed Eagle King shook his dazed head. Even though he had been degraded to the status of a captive, his face showed surprise: "Is this the treasure you all desperately attacked and conspired to obtain from us?
This is the core area of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, and these feathers have such astonishing traces of aura. Could it be..." freeweɓnøvel.com
"Hehe, that’s right, these are the feathers and Essence Blood left by that Great Power of the Kunpeng Clan!"
The Black Jiao Dragon King laughed heartily: "I’ve been friends with the Eagle King for thousands of years. If it weren’t for these things, I truly would have found it difficult to act against you.
It’s just that obtaining these treasures is too hard, so inevitably, I had no choice but to wrong the Eagle King."
"So it really is Kunpeng Essence Blood, no wonder you went to such lengths."
The White-Headed Eagle King murmured to himself, eyes firmly fixed on the Essence Blood on the feathers.
His original form was a fierce Spiritual Bird. He naturally yearned for the bloodline of such a top-tier Divine Beast as the Kunpeng. Upon entering the hall, his own Qi Blood had started to surge, and now that he knew it was Kunpeng Essence Blood, an endless longing welled up within him.
Regrettably, he was now reduced to a mere captive. Even with the finest of treasures, he could only watch helplessly as others enjoyed them.
"Humph, don’t blame me for being heartless!"
The Black Jiao Dragon King glanced at him: "I am born of the Jiao Dragon lineage, and receiving the Kunpeng Essence Blood might indeed help me break through my shackles and become a Heavenly Immortal, but it wouldn’t benefit me as much as it would you.
It’s not that I’m unwilling to share with you, but once you obtain this Essence Blood, your future achievements will certainly surpass mine, and I do not wish to live under your shadow!"
"Brother Jiao Dragon, why bother saying all this to him?"
Beside him, Li Qing spoke indifferently: "Time is getting late. If we continue to delay, more and more Cultivators will enter the palace, and someone might break into this area, possibly leading to unforeseen complications.
To avoid a long night full of dreams, let’s just take action and get the Kunpeng Essence Blood as soon as possible."
"Alright!"
The Black Jiao Dragon King nodded without further words, and directly pushed forward the nine strongest cultivators, including the White-Headed Eagle King.
All of these Cultivators were at the Primordial Spirit Peak Realm, each possessing profound Dao Cultivation and formidable strength, just one step away from achieving the Immortal Dao.
Li Qing took out the Jade Box that earlier contained the Life-Stealing Fruits and, along with the other demons, fed one fruit each to the captives like the White-Headed Eagle King, forcing them to consume them.
This action immediately astonished the White-Headed Eagle King and the others.
The treasures they had desperately sought to obtain were now being willingly fed into their mouths?
Of course, they knew that there would be no pie falling from the sky for no reason, and the Black Jiao Dragon King and the others wouldn’t give such treasures to them for no cause. There had to be a hidden agenda to this action!
But they no longer had the opportunity to ask questions. Nor did they know what method Li Qing had used; as soon as these Life-Stealing Fruits entered their bodies, they dissolved rapidly.
A mighty surge of Qi Blood Power flooded into their bodies, a vast Spiritual Power entered their Dantian Acupoints, and waves of Principle Fluctuations flowed into their Divine Souls, making their understanding of the Dao clearer, with a few of the most advanced ones showing signs of a breakthrough in their Cultivation Realm!
