Free Web NovelChapter 364: Chapter 236: Double Agent (2)
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the fox’s tail,
"Hm?"
The Venerable Daqian Python Robe, seated to the north, seemed to notice the ant’s transgression.
Without even shifting his gaze, he merely pointed a finger casually in Jiang Hai’s direction.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no dazzling flash of light.
In the next moment, Jiang Hai—along with the thousand-mile expanse of marshland, mountains, and clouds where he was hiding... all of it, everything, silently and without a trace, turned into the finest dust of nothingness!
It was as if an invisible giant hand had taken an eraser and simply wiped that entire region from the canvas of the world!
All that remained was a massive, bottomless pit, its surface as smooth as a mirror.
Yet, Wei Qingshan, who was right next to him, was completely unharmed, a testament to the immense power of a Venerable Divinity Transformation!
Wei Qingshan’s eyes widened in terror. "I... I’m not dead?"
The fox tail that should have fallen into Jiang Hai’s hands now fluttered down into Xiao Dinglan’s arms.
GULP...
Someone swallowed hard. Zhao Yan’s back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The might of a Divinity Transformation expert was truly this terrifying.
Treating a Golden Core expert like mere grass, annihilating all creation with a single thought!
Qin Xuan stared at the flattened marshland, his desire for power burning more intensely than ever before.
He couldn’t help but clench his fists, his knuckles turning white.
He used to think that without reaching the Golden Core Realm, one would always be an ant. But now, it seemed that Golden Core was nothing. Even a Daoist Monarch at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm was merely a toy in the hands of a Venerable.
’I’m still too weak... In this world, only by becoming a Venerable Divinity Transformation can I truly look down upon all others!’
...
"You beasts, you lackeys, you traitors..."
Above the Cloud Dream Marsh, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, all nine of its tails now severed, let out a final, piercing shriek filled with infinite resentment.
"One day, you will reap what you have sown! I will be waiting in the River of Reincarnation, waiting for your corpses to float down to me!"
BOOM!
The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox actually began to burn its own origin and cultivation.
Its massive body transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky and violently crashing into the patch of void that had been stabilized by the power of the four Dao Fruits.
BANG!!
A colossal sound, like shattering colored glass, echoed in all directions. The fox had actually managed to smash a huge, spiderweb-like black crack into the sky.
The magnificent Spiritual Illusion Dream Void Grotto Heaven shattered with a roar, disintegrating into countless fragments of light before vanishing completely.
And the already-cracked Willow Wood Dao Fruit, struck by this final impact, completely lost any chance of reforming.
With a POP, it exploded into a sky full of shimmering emerald-green motes of light.
Like a vast shower of green light, it drifted down, blanketing the sky above the entire Cloud Dream Marsh.
VMMMM...
Standing outside the Water Mirror Palace, Qin Xuan suddenly felt the Spiritual Power in his body begin to surge uncontrollably.
The blockages in his meridians, which would have normally required painstaking effort to clear, were now breached as easily as breaking through thin paper.
The aura around him climbed steadily, the change visible to the naked eye.
Purple Mansion Eighth Level!
Qin Xuan couldn’t help but let out a long cry.
He felt his body overflowing with surging Spiritual Power. His Divine Sense was clear, and his comprehension of the Thousand Overlapping Waves Technique seemed to have deepened.
He wasn’t the only one.
Nearby, the Power of the Fire Spirit around Zhao Yan surged, and he broke through to the Purple Mansion Sixth Level.
A look of astonishment covered Shi Jian’s simple face as his aura thickened, and he stepped into the Purple Mansion Fifth Level.
Liu Yiyi was also delighted to discover that she had advanced from the Purple Mansion Fifth Level to the Sixth Level...
Every Purple Mansion Cultivator present, regardless of their current Cultivation, advanced one full level on the spot!
For a moment, flashes of Spiritual Power erupted one after another outside the Water Mirror Palace, accompanied by an endless stream of gasps and ecstatic shouts.
This shocking event, caused by the shattering of a Divinity Transformation Dao Fruit, had turned into a tremendous stroke of fortune for all the Purple Mansion Cultivators present.
...
The people of Water Mirror Palace were still reeling from the shock of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox’s demise.
Space seemed to freeze as an ethereal Divine Thought, carrying supreme authority, suddenly descended into the minds of Qin Xuan and Liu Mobai.
"The Demon Child trial ends now. Qin Xuan, Liu Mobai, you both shall be this generation’s Holy Sect Demon Sons."
What?
Qin Xuan and Liu Mobai were stunned, finding it hard to believe.
In the history of the Holy Sect, there had never been a precedent of two Demon Sons co-existing in the same realm!
Of course, Liu Mobai was looking at the Qin Xuan that Lin Feng had transformed into.
The void rippled, and the ethereal figure of Venerable Linglong quietly appeared in the sky above the Water Mirror Palace.
"Surprised? Did you truly believe that the so-called Daoist and Demon Child trials were just about a few little dolls like you fighting to the death?"
Venerable Linglong spoke with a light chuckle, her voice cold and tinged with mockery.
"That old blockhead from the Cyan Cloud Sect, that long worm from the Dragon Palace, that idiot prince from Daqian... just like me, they were all waiting for this crafty fox to lose its patience and attempt to steal the heavens by ascending to the Divinity Transformation Realm."
Venerable Linglong’s gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking toward the Cloud Dream Marsh.
"It thought it had hidden its Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm extremely well, but it was seen through long ago."
"And you all... were merely the bait to lure it out of its hole."
These words were earth-shattering!
Qin Xuan felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his skull.
So all the killing, all the hiding—in the eyes of higher beings, it was all just a meticulously planned chess game.
’And we, the so-called candidates for Daoist and Demon Child, were just the pawns on the board, meant to attract the prey.’
No wonder Wei Qingyi was found so precisely by Beidou Shichen True Monarch in Cyan Wood Valley, and no wonder a Golden Core Blood Demon was lying in ambush near the Water Mirror Palace...
It was all just an act!
A wisp of black candle smoke dissipated before his eyes, and Qin Xuan’s heart pounded with fear.
’The only Nascent Soul Demon Monarch who chose me back then... was Ji Boyan!’
