The storage bag was protected by a restriction, but for A Yao, breaking the restriction was a piece of cake. She scanned the storage bag with her divine sense and found more than 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones, several grade pills, several talismans, some refining materials, and two low-grade magic treasures.
These things were all ordinary, except for a box that was sealed with a protective seal.
She took out the box, opened it, and inside were eight white eggs with golden stripes, as white as jade. Ayao recognized them as the eggs of the Golden Jade Cicada.
The Golden Jade Cicada is a rare and wondrous insect, fierce in nature, fond of eating gold and jade, and possessing three great supernatural abilities: concealment, healing, and sound attack.
"Eight eggs, a few more would be great..."
Ah Yao murmured, "But it's alright, once they hatch, we'll just let them have lots of babies." She closed the box, resealed it, and put it into her storage bag.
She flew back into the sky on her sword, spreading her divine sense to search for medicinal herbs in the surroundings. She dared not venture too deep into the Demon Spirit Abyss, carefully lingering in relatively safe areas. She also wanted to see if she might encounter any demonic beasts with a diluted phoenix bloodline.
Night fell quickly.
Nightfall makes Ghostly Abyss even more dangerous than daytime. Ayao flew over a cliff, extra vigilant of her surroundings. Just then, she saw flashes of light ahead, followed by continuous explosions—a fierce battle was raging ahead.
The stench of decay wafted in the wind. She released her divine sense and saw this scene:
Six Nascent Soul cultivators in blue robes were engaged in a fierce battle with a black-winged centipede that had transformed into a corpse demon. The black-winged centipede was clearly at the Nascent Soul stage. If it weren't for the fact that each of the six Nascent Soul cultivators possessed a powerful magic weapon, they would have been defeated long ago.
The black-winged centipede continuously released black poisonous mist. Each time its six black wings flapped, the black mist, mixed with wind blades, shot towards the six Nascent Soul cultivators.
Among the six Nascent Soul cultivators, one of them was a young master.
The young master possessed the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. His sideburns were sharply cut, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and his face was as handsome as jade. He was elegant and refined. He held a black folding fan, one side of which was covered with forbidden runes, and the other side was painted with two azure dragons.
With a wave of the folding fan, two azure dragons blinked and moved, flying out from the fan surface. Their size suddenly increased, transforming into two azure dragons hundreds of meters long. They bared their fangs and claws and pounced on the black-winged centipede, then began to fight each other.
The black-winged centipede's body shot out streaks of red light, which shook off the azure dragon, causing the dragon to transform into specks of azure light rain that fell down.
The enormous body of the black-winged centipede rammed into the six Nascent Soul cultivators again. Its tentacles gleamed with a cold, azure light like blades. This thing was covered in deadly poison, and the poison was even more potent after it turned into a corpse demon. No one dared to be touched by it and retreated repeatedly.
Rumble—
The mountain collapsed, and rocks continued to roll down from the height.
Although those Nascent Soul cultivators did not want to continue the fight, the black-winged centipede had no intention of letting them go.
Ayao looked at the young man, exclaimed in surprise, and showed a look of astonishment.
She thought to herself: It's him...
This young master is Xu Fengzhi, the son of the sect leader of the Divine Dream Sect.
In this life, A Yao and Xu Fengzhi have not crossed paths yet, but he saved her once in her previous life. Thinking of this, she thought to herself: Now that we have met, I will repay the favor from my previous life!
A late-stage Golden Core cultivator certainly can't defeat a Nascent Soul stage Blackwing Centipede that has transformed into a corpse demon, but if that late-stage Golden Core cultivator was once an Immortal Emperor, then that's a different story.
Ayao raised her hand, took out a Vajra Pill from her storage bag, and swallowed it. The Vajra Pill could enhance her strength for a short period of time.
Then a silver spear appeared in her hand. Azure arcs of electricity surged from the spear as she separated a wisp of the Primordial Divine Lightning she had previously captured and coiled it around the silver spear.
Ayao gripped the spear and threw it forward with great force.
The spear, crackling with azure lightning, sped across several mountain peaks before piercing the black-winged centipede's body. The centipede's body was incredibly tough, covered in jet-black armor, but the spear's force was fierce and domineering, shattering its armor and piercing its flesh, accompanied by crackling Taiqing Divine Thunder.
The azure lightning erupted upon encountering the evil power, transforming into hundreds of rapidly moving bolts that surged throughout the black-winged centipede's body and spread into the air.
All that could be heard was a shrill scream from the enormous black-winged centipede, which crumbled inch by inch in the blinding lightning and turned into ashes.
Xu Fengzhi and the others were dumbfounded.
The Taiqing Divine Thunder is specifically designed to subdue evil creatures. The fire lizard was not an evil spirit, so the Taiqing Divine Thunder's reaction was not intense. However, this black-winged centipede was a corpse demon, making it a perfect match for the enemy.
Let alone this black-winged centipede in the early stage of Nascent Soul, even if it were in the early stage of Void Refinement, it would be reduced to ashes if it encountered even a trace of Taiqing Divine Lightning.
A long spear, crackling with blue lightning, was stuck in the ashes.
The shocked crowd instinctively looked around, their divine senses spreading out, and they all saw a figure standing on a mountain peak separated by several other peaks.
A beautiful young girl, draped in a light purple veil, her face veiled, her long hair blowing in the wind, the bright moon hanging high, her figure graceful like a purple orchid blooming in the night. Before anyone could react, she turned and transformed into a swift beam of light, flying into the sky.
"Fairy, please wait!"
Xu Feng called out, but the figure didn't turn around.
The savior had no intention of paying attention to him. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to chase after him or not, only to find that the purple figure had already left his divine sense and vanished without a trace.
Xu Feng came to the Demon Spirit Abyss to find a spiritual medicine. He brought fourteen Nascent Soul stage experts and eighteen Enlightenment stage experts with him, along with many high-level magic treasures. He thought that this lineup would be enough to penetrate the Demon Spirit Abyss. Who knew that he would be so unlucky as to encounter a ghost cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage.
That ghost cultivator actually had sixteen Nascent Soul stage corpse puppets.
He and his fourteen Nascent Soul stage guards perished together with the ghost cultivator, but all the corpse puppets raised by the ghost cultivator went out of control and chased after them like madmen. The remaining six of them fled all the way out, and in the end, only six remained. Among the out-of-control corpse puppets, a black-winged centipede clung tightly to them.
The black-winged centipede is extremely venomous, and each of them has already been poisoned. If the fight continues, the six of them will not have time to expel the toxins and will inevitably die from poisoning.
Although some of them had noticed A Yao during the fight, they only considered her to be at the late Golden Core stage.
If a late-stage Golden Core cultivator saw a black-winged centipede in the early-stage Nascent Soul realm, which was also a corpse demon, the only correct reaction would be to turn around and run away immediately.
Even if you don't run away, what's the point of joining the battle?
But to their surprise, the female cultivator at the late Golden Core stage not only did not escape, but actually killed the black-winged centipede with a single shot.
In the darkness, the divine lightning on the silver spear flickered faintly, arcs of electricity flashing.
The azure lightning gave off an incredibly pure yet powerful aura, as if it were about to sweep away all evil spirits in the world.
