"How could you possibly be second!" I'm the real second.

Seeing Ao Huang jumping up and down, Shi Yan didn't say anything, but silently walked to Chen Tianwen's side. He obviously knew how difficult it was to deal with the inner demon, and he wanted to go with Chen Tianwen!

Seeing that Shi Yan ignored him, Ao Huang became even angrier. Just as he was about to launch into a verbal attack to teach Shi Yan how amazing he was, Chen Tianwen spoke up.

"Shi Yan is indeed stronger than you now."

Ao Huang's energy deflated before he could even muster any more strength!

He knew Chen Tianwen's personality and that he disdained lying, so it seemed that Shi Yan's strength was indeed above his own.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan, who was standing next to him, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, secretly pleased, before returning to his icy demeanor.

After thinking it over, Chen Tianwen decided that since Ao Huang was so eager to follow him in search of the Demon God, it wasn't impossible.

After all, no one present was more familiar with the habits of aquatic creatures than Ao Huang.

If they encounter some strange sea creatures, Ao Huang might come in very handy.

After discussing the matter, Chen Tianwen led Shi Yan, Ao Huang, and the other two to kill the Demon God.

Besides Elder Xia being extremely worried that his Crown Prince might encounter some danger and that the others wouldn't be able to protect him in time, he hurriedly followed behind.

Shi Yan rejected his suggestion outright, arguing that if the inner demon were to truly invade him, he wouldn't be able to help him and might even hinder him.

Old Master Xia saw that his Crown Prince was unyielding, but he thought that as the most beloved grandson of the patriarch, His Highness the Crown Prince must have a lot of life-saving talismans and pills.

He could only watch them leave with a heavy heart.

Chen Tianwen and his two companions continued their journey without stopping.

I don't know if we've reached the center of Devil's Mountain, but the temperature is getting lower and lower here.

Chen Taiwen knew something was wrong. The terrain hadn't changed much, and they hadn't descended into the abyss, so why was the temperature getting lower and lower?

However, the location of the inner demon is currently unknown, and a hasty separation would be extremely disadvantageous for Shi Yan and Ao Huang.

Even the Sea Emperor, a sixth-tier demon beast, couldn't resist the temptation of his inner demons, so Chen Tianwen didn't want to test these two.

If the test results in an unhappy outcome for everyone, it's better to search slowly like we are now.

Time flew by, and Chen Tian and his team had been inspecting the nearby mountains for several hours!

Besides the fact that the water temperature nearby was getting lower and lower, which told them that the group had not gone the wrong way,

Still nothing.

Ao Huang flexed his stiff fingers and thought to himself, "Human bodies are really useless. If I had a dragon body, I wouldn't be so afraid of the cold right now."

Shi Yan, standing nearby, was not as cold. He had countless treasures in his hands, and when he felt that he could no longer bear the cold, he took out a fire essence to dispel the chill.

Chen Tianwen felt nothing. After all, his strength was far more profound. Under such circumstances, the slightly colder seawater only lowered his body temperature slightly, which was completely different from the other two.

"If we can't find it, let's take a break!"

Chen Tianwen was the first to make the suggestion.

Shi Yan and Ao Huang both nodded in agreement. They had no choice but to agree!

Only by conserving energy can we better find our inner demons.

After the group found a relatively flat area on the mountainside, they quietly began to meditate.

This action had already allowed the flowing water to carry the message to the snake demon dozens of miles away.

This snake demon was pure white, without a single blemish. Unlike ordinary snake demons, it had a long, sharp spike on its head, with many golden rings wrapped around it. This spike represented the snake demon's extraordinary identity; it was the Heavenly Snow Ancient Serpent.

Even in the vast world of cultivation, the Heavenly Snow Serpent is an extremely ancient demonic beast.

Just like the original Qilin clan, the Heavenly Snow Ancient Serpent already existed in the Heavenly Profound Realm tens of thousands of years ago.

Compared to the massive dragons and Xuanwu, the Heavenly Snow Serpent appeared much smaller.

However, the ancient serpent's strength was in no way inferior to theirs.

If we compare the Sea Emperor's mermaid clan with its innate supernatural powers, there's nothing to compare them to; it's simply pathetic!

The most wondrous thing about the Heavenly Snow Ancient Serpent is its snow-white snakeskin, which has the function of concealment. Even if a cultivator's rank is two levels higher than its, they will not be able to find its trace.

Therefore, Chen Tianwen and his group had been followed for several hours without noticing anything amiss.

Another innate ability of its is the sharp horn on its head!

These sharp points were said by ancient cultivators to be able to break through all laws.

There is certainly some exaggeration involved, but it is enough to illustrate the extraordinary nature of this sharp angle.

If there are enough spiritual materials to complement it, this sharp corner might even become a magical artifact that can shield against all magic!

However, no weapon refiner in the Tianxuan Realm can do this.

Besides Chen Tianwen, who possessed the Simplified Avenue.

However, Chen Tianwen currently lacks the means to refine spiritual treasures. If he did, upon seeing the sharp horn of the Heavenly Snow Serpent, he might simply go up and pull it off!

However, this ancient snake was now quietly following behind a group of people, its clear eyes fixed on that direction.

No one knows what the ancient serpent is really thinking.

Was he planning to kill several people? Or was he simply curious because he had never seen a human cultivator before and was just looking around casually? It was purely for fun.

The night passed quietly.

Chen Tianwen and the other two stretched leisurely.

The seabed here is different from the land, and at the beginning of the night, Ao Huang was so cold that he cried out.

Shi Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw a piece of his extra fire essence to Ao Huang!

Of course, Shi Yan saw that Chen Tianwen did not seem to be afraid of the cold, but he still handed the fire essence to him directly.

This is my older brother!

Although Ao Huang was very awkward and stubborn, he knew in his heart that Shi Yan meant well this time. After taking Shi Yan's fire essence, he could only awkwardly say thank you.

Forget it, the crown prince isn't the kind of person who's arrogant to the heavens. I'll just accept his kindness in a perfunctory way. If he wants to be the second oldest among the three of them in the future, he'll have to be prepared!

I'll be magnanimous and not argue with him!

That night, for the first time ever, Ao Huang didn't give Shi Yan that sour look, but simply said a few words less, seemingly unconcerned.

"We need to speed things up today!"

After they were free to move around, Chen Tianwen gave Ao Huang and Shi Yan some serious instructions.

Seeing that the two nodded seriously, he felt relieved and left to begin his search.
