Chapter 836 660: Fire Spirit Palace
Under the filthy swamp waters, with their nine twists and eighteen turns, the general outline of the entire Cold Pond Swamp quickly settled into Qi Xiu's mind thanks to his immense and keen divine sense.The transformed blue smoke followed the twisted, hidden water streams and reached an underground palace beneath a swamp.
The vast underground palace was filled with boiling murk and pervasive demon fog.
A massive Pig Dragon, over a thousand feet in length, lay sprawled upon a piece of Red Sun Jade, its cold and violent Demon King aura wafting through the void.
On the cave wall beside it, several smaller Pig Dragons lay curled up in sleep.
The entire underground palace was resonating with deafening snoring.
Hidden within the void, Qi Xiu stood with hands behind his back, his gaze slowly resting on the largest Pig Dragon demon.
Though the Pig Dragon's name contains the character "dragon," it is not truly a Dragon Descendant of mixed blood; its appearance merely shares a few dragon-like features, hence the intimidating name.
In the mundane world of Central Earth, it is more commonly referred to as a crocodile.
"Spirit Rock Records" mentions that Pig Dragons, with their murky and cold blood, need to warm their blood every few days to prevent freezing to death from the cold blood within.
This Pig Dragon demon, though it has already reached the Dao Body Realm, has long overcome its bloodline shortcomings, yet it still sleeps on this scorching Red Sun Jade, evidently unable to change its nature."
Without wasting any words while gazing at the Pig Dragon demon before him, Qi Xiu directly gave a mighty sweep of his sleeve, and a surge of colorful intent enveloped it, sweeping it into the Hunyuan Palace.
The Pig Dragon demon, sleeping soundly within its mansion, never expected someone to silently sneak into its underground palace; startled awake, it found itself, before it could react, within the vast void of Primordial Origin Heaven and Earth.
After capturing the demon king, Qi Xiu casually skinned and deboned it, dividing it into numerous materials, extracting its spirit for interrogation.
Within less than half a minute.
This Dao Body Realm demon king perished thoroughly in Qi Xiu's hands, not only was its flesh cleanly divided into materials, but its spirit was drained of all information and subsequently annihilated into dust.
"This King Youdeng is indeed a bold yet meticulous hero, well-acquainted with the current situation and the intricacies.
Knowing well that once the calamity begins, no matter the outcome of the battles between the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and the Human Race.
Tianyuan Main Realm, as a must-fight territory for All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, will inevitably become a battlefield sooner or later.
By then, aside from those at the Primordial Spirit Level, any existence might quickly become a casualty in this epic battle.
And this King Youdeng saw through this.
He intended to seize the opportunity while his foster mother, Fire Spirit Saint Mother, was away, and the demon kings in the mansion were dispatched, leaving the power void, to team up with the remaining demon kings of the Xiling Mountain Range to pillage the Fire Spirit Saint Mother's cave mansion, then escape Outside the Domain.
Daring to think and act, he is a character."
From the spirit of the Pig Dragon demon, Cold Pond King, Qi Xiu learned of Youdeng Demon King's plan, and scheming thoughts surged within him.
With a thought, golden Suppressing Talismans appeared out of thin air, manifesting on the foreheads of every Pig Dragon demon within the underground palace, where Divine Talismans blossomed with oppressing force.
Qi Xiu turned around and left, behind him, a series of terrifying cries of despair accompanied by radiant golden light, bringing sudden tranquility to the entire underground palace.
...
Xiling Peaks, Lingzhan Mountain, Tianxiang Cave.
The enchanting Fox Demon maiden danced gracefully, surrounded by singer Sparrows who sang, within the elegantly decorated demon mansion, a young man dressed in a long robe with a bluish face resembling a frail scholar leaned against the arms of a Fox Demon, humming an unknown tune softly.
"Great King, Cold Pond Demon King requests to see you outside the cave."
The distorted Green-Faced Ghost Little Demon came hurriedly to the front of the hall, softly reporting to the young man above.
"Cold Pond? What's this guy doing here for no reason?"
Upon hearing the report from the Little Demon below, Youdeng slightly frowned, having little regard for this demon king who purely by chance ascended to the Dao Body Realm.
Previously, if he hadn't feared this guy disrupting the plan upon hearing the news, he wouldn't even invite him to the feast.
Moreover, he hadn't included this guy in his subsequent plan to escape from the Tianyuan Main Realm.
Yet, his grand plan has not yet succeeded, so it's not wise to break things off with this guy now.
Silent for a moment, Youdeng waved off the demon singer below, knowing the Pig Dragon was greedy, and might shamelessly ask for these Fox Demon maidens upon seeing them.
When there was nothing special left in the demon mansion, Youdeng nodded to the Little Demon below to let Cold Pond in.
"Brother Youdeng, hahaha, I've come again."
Disguised as the Cold Pond Demon King, Qi Xiu emitted this demon king's characteristic loud and crude laughter, prompting Youdeng to repeatedly frown, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"Cold Pond, didn't we agree before, not to contact until the plan begins? Why are you still coming to me?" Youdeng immediately voiced his reproach, examining the Pig Dragon demon in front of him as he spoke.
"Ah, it's a long story, ever since hearing about your plan last time, I've been sleepless and excited.
I couldn't stand the itch in my heart, so I came to talk with you."
"Talk? About what?" Skeptically, Youdeng squinted his eyes, looking at Qi Xiu disguised as Cold Pond Demon King.
"I know brother, you plan to sweep the Fire Spirit Saint Mother's cave mansion this time, but there's something you might not know." Raising his eyebrows, Qi Xiu feigned mystery.
"Oh? What is it?" Curiosity piqued by Qi Xiu, Youdeng unconsciously leaned forward, puzzled.
"Actually..."
