Fifth-Rank Great Demon

Deep within the Hengduan Mountains, in a hidden underground cave.

Two giant, jet-black Giant Scorpion were perched in the lower left corner of the cave. Not far away stood a Golden Soul Fruit Tree, with dozens of Golden Soul Fruit hanging from its branches.

After a while, the two Black Giant Scorpion seemed to have caught a whiff of something, and let out a sharp hiss. They transformed into two streaks of black light and flew away.

When they flew out of the cave, they found many Demon Bird circling high in the sky.

Not far away was a vast Cyan Bamboo Forest, with a large number of bamboo leaves scattered on the ground.

Two Black Giant Scorpion flew rapidly into the depths of the bamboo forest.

They came to the depths of the bamboo forest and discovered a green Ganoderma lucidum that emitted a peculiar fragrance.

A gust of wind blew by, and two Cyan Peng Bird with wingspans of over ten zhang appeared, their sharp claws reaching straight for the Cyan Spirit Mushroom.

Just then, a thick Golden Light Screen appeared, inverting them inside. A powerful gravity appeared, and the two Cyan Peng Bird quickly fell to the ground. They could barely flap their wings, as if an invisible hand was pressing them to the ground.

The two Black Giant Scorpion also felt their bodies become incredibly heavy, making it difficult to move even a single step.

A large amount of golden light appeared in the void, transforming into Golden Giant Blade over ten feet long, slashing down at the Green Wind Peng and the two Black Giant Scorpion below, which they had no way to avoid.

The Golden Giant Blade struck them, easily severing their heads. A beam of light shone in the void near the Cyan Spirit Mushroom, Shen Long appeared.

He needs to cross the Hengduan Mountains to return to the East Hua Cultivation World.

He discovered two fourth-tier Soul-Devouring Scorpion. Facing them head-on, Shen Long couldn't easily eliminate them. He set up Gold-Magnetic Formation and used the Monster Luring Grass to lure and kill them, succeeding effortlessly.

Shen Long summoned a Cyan Jade Bottle, which collected the Essence Soul of the Soul-Devouring Scorpion and the Green Wind Peng. He could ask Artifact Refiner to infuse the Essence Soul into a treasure, thereby enhancing its power.

He collected the corpses of Green Wind Peng and Soul-Devouring Scorpion, along with the Monster Luring Grass, went to the Soul-Devouring Scorpion's nest, picked all the Golden Soul Fruit, and transplanted the Golden Soul Fruit Tree.

"Come back! It's time to leave."

Shen Long said.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the vegetation within a two-hundred-mile radius of Shen Long withered and died, its leaves turning from emerald green to withered yellow, as if its life force had been drained.

Since the Tree Man emerged from the ground and entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, it has drained the life force of many plants to cultivate the Spirit Plant within the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.

The tree Demonization a streak of green light and flew into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, just as Shen Long was about to leave.

A deafening explosion rang out, and a huge, conspicuous ball of Cyan Thunder Light could be seen in the distance.

Shen Long frowned, flipped his right hand, and the Purple Pupil Bead appeared in his hand. He infused it with Law Power, and the Purple Pupil Bead emitted a dazzling purple light.

"Oh, it's the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon."

Shen Long let out a soft "hmm". The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon was an old acquaintance of the Master Ice Silkworm, and came from the Wang Clan of Begonia Valley.

The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon is being chased by the Monster Ape and is on the verge of collapse.

With a thought, Shen Long's back lit up with a red light, and a pair of red wings appeared, namely the Wind-Fire Wings.

With a gentle flap of his Red Feathered Wings, he vanished from the spot.

In an open area, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, her face turning pale.

A huge Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape charged towards them at great speed.

The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon's face showed despair. Just then, a crimson light appeared, Shen Long appeared, blocking the path of the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape let out a loud roar and spewed out a Yellow Sound Wave that rushed straight towards Shen Long.

Shen Long was not afraid at all. He looked up to the sky and roared, unleashing a Red Sound Wave to meet the attack.

The Red Sound Wave collided with the Yellow Sound Wave, causing the latter to instantly dissipate. The Red Sound Wave swept across the body of the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape, contorting its face as if it were suffering some unbearable pain.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape's right fist shone with a bright yellow light as it slammed towards Shen Long. Undeterred, Shen Long met the attack head-on with his own right fist glowing red.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful, its physical body is very strong..."

Before the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon could finish speaking, her eyes widened in surprise.

The Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Before it could even stand up, a Red Giant Staff fell from the sky and smashed into its head, killing it instantly with blood streaming down its face.

Shen Long summoned a Cyan Gourd, which collected the Essence Soul of the Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape, and stored its corpse in his Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Madam Wang, are you alright?"

Shen Long asked.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen's help, I will first take some medicine to heal my injuries."

The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon expressed her gratitude, took out a Blood-Colored Pill, swallowed it, and began to heal her injuries through internal energy.

After a short while, the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon finished her practice, a rosy glow returning to her pale face, and she stood up.

"Madam Wang, why did you go to the Hengduan Mountains alone?"

Shen Long asked casually.

After many years, the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon has also advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"My people and I went to the Hengduan Mountains to hunt Demon Beast, but we unexpectedly encountered a mid-stage fourth-tier Great Strength Golden-Backed Ape. Fortunately, we met Fellow Daoist Shen, otherwise I would have been in grave danger. These two Jade Flat Peach are a small token of my appreciation; please accept them."

The Fairy Ice Flood Dragon took out two exquisite cyan jade Jade Box and handed them to Shen Long, expressing her gratitude.

Shen Long did not refuse and accepted the two Jade Box.

"Madam Wang, I need to return to the East Hua Cultivation World. If you don't mind, let's travel together!"

Shen Long suggested.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Shen."

Fairy Ice Flood Dragon naturally wouldn't refuse. In her current state, she would be no match for any other Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.

Shen Long summoned the Sea-Crossing Boat and boarded it, with the Fairy Ice Flood Dragon following closely behind.

He made a hand seal, Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a dazzling blue light, flying high into the sky at great speed.

······

Deep within the Hengduan Mountains, a massive Thunder Cloud floated high in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Bolts of Lightning Tribulation struck down, heading straight for a gigantic Black Dove Bird.

The Black Dove Bird had a beautiful woman's face on its head, and its body was shrouded in a thick Black Light Screen.

One after another, Lightning Tribulation struck the Black Light Screen, the blinding light engulfing the Black Dove Bird's silhouette.

Half an hour later, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing arcs of blue, green, and red electricity. After the Three-Colored Lightning Cloud churned and surged, a thick bolt of three-colored lightning struck down, and the silver lightning transformed into three-colored lightning.

The Three-Colored Lightning Cloud churned and surged, transforming into a tri-colored Thunder Eagle with wingspans exceeding ten zhang, exuding an aura of world-destroying power.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the tricolor Thunder Eagle swooped down from the sky.

A piercing whistling sound rang out, and a Black Tornado swept out, colliding with the tricolor Thunder Eagle.

With a deafening roar, a massive ball of tri-colored lightning shot into the sky, its powerful shockwave spreading in all directions, flattening mountain peaks and towering trees.

Half an hour later, the lightning dissipated, Black Dove Bird lay in a huge crater emitting black smoke, its body covered in blood and flesh, and its wounds charred black.

"Forty-five Lightning Tribulation, forty-three ordinary Lightning Tribulation, and two Three-Colored Divine Lightning. Fortunately, I survived them, but I need to recuperate for a while."

The Black Dove Bird muttered to itself, its voice weak.

If any cultivators were here, they would discover that the Black Dove Bird had reached the fifth rank, and a fifth-rank great demon had appeared in the Hengduan Mountains.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Black Dove Bird flew away into the distance, disappearing from the scene.
