I don’t know how much time has passed.
The Crystal-Eroding King Worm woke up in a daze. The loss of that drop of blood made it comatose for many days. When it woke up, the world in its eyes was shaking, and it took a long time to return to normal.
"The silly boy hasn't come out of his cocoon yet."
Its voice was a little weak. It glanced at the bloody cocoon beneath it, swayed its body and stood up. Feeling the breath in the cocoon, it murmured with satisfaction: "The breath is stable, the vitality is calm, it seems that my blood is working."
"Hmph! I saved your life." The Crystal-Eroding King Worm put his hands on his hips and became proud.
Suddenly, it raised its head and looked at the azure sky. White clouds were scattered randomly in the sky. The sun was shining brightly. In the clear and distant sky, two auras were rushing towards it.
"Someone powerful is coming here, get out of here quickly." The Crystal-Eroding Kingworm flew onto the green leaves of [Spring Leaves in Full Bloom], and then disappeared with the entire tree.
Soon after, two long rainbows came rushing from the horizon, passing through the clouds and leaving long trails.
Flying over the lake, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the rainbow.
"Tracing that person's breath to here, he must be here without a doubt." The man looked middle-aged, wearing a black robe, with black hair tied into a high ponytail. He had a gloomy expression and came with ill intentions.
The woman next to him was a young woman with bright eyes and white teeth. Although she was young, the aura she exuded was far greater than that of a man. She stood in mid-air, looked down, and immediately smiled brightly, "There."
"A blood-colored cocoon, and the two people next to it... no, they are two corpse puppets." The man looked shocked.
"They are all corpse puppets at the Jindan level!"
"No wonder he was able to kill a Jindan cultivator from my Purple Moon Country. That person must be hiding in this blood-colored cocoon." The woman's face was slightly serious. She raised her hand and pointed her index finger at the blood-colored cocoon.
A strong spiritual power gathered at her fingertips and pressed towards the blood-colored cocoon.
"Xuantian Finger!"
A finger fell, and suddenly a huge, slender finger appeared between the woman and the earth. The fingerprints on the finger were clear, like white jade, and with a strong destructive power, it fell from the air and headed straight for the blood-colored cocoon.
It turned out that he was planning to kill the bloody cocoon and Xue Kong inside it together.
At this moment, the queen's corpse puppet came over, and under the Xuantian finger, its whole body burst out with momentum. It also raised its hand and slammed towards the Xuantian finger. The huge slender fingers were suddenly covered with frost, and with a crackling sound, the frost froze.
The falling speed of the giant finger was slowed down.
"Even if you fought with me in your prime, you would not be qualified to stand in front of me, let alone a mere corpse." The woman sneered, her eyes sank slightly, and the frost on her huge fingers melted.
The body-refining corpse took a step forward and stood together with the queen's corpse puppet. The two of them worked together to stop the giant finger, but after the woman cast a spell again, they could no longer stop it.
The body-refining corpses and the queen's corpse puppets were all forced back and rolled back.
Click.
A slight sound was heard, and a part of the blood-colored cocoon on the ground cracked. The crack then spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the entire blood-colored cocoon was covered with dense cracks.
"I don't know what kind of magic this person was practicing before, but now it seems that he has come out." The man looked a little solemn and spoke to the young woman.
The young woman disagreed: "There are only two late Jindan cultivators in Jingwu Country, why should I be afraid?"
"It's better to be cautious." The man nodded.
On the ground, the blood-colored cocoon completely shattered with repeated crackling sounds, and a white palm broke out from the cocoon, and then other parts of the hand slowly appeared.
Bang.
The bloody cocoon suddenly exploded.
A black figure walked out from it.
Xue Kong stood there with an upright posture. Although his aura was restrained, the man in the air still couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw him. He couldn't see through Xue Kong's cultivation level.
Even from Xue Kong, he felt a palpitating sense of oppression and a strong sense of crisis.
"Sure enough, he is only in the middle stage of Jindan." The woman looked indifferent and looked down at Xue Kong arrogantly.
Xue Kong waved his sleeves and put away the body-refining corpse and the queen's corpse puppet. He took a step forward, his body floating in the air, flying to the same height as the two of them, and followed them with a calm look.
Without saying a word, Xue Kong clenched his right fist and punched the middle-aged man.
With one punch, heaven and earth resonate.
An extremely powerful energy and blood, with a violent roar, burst out from Xue Kong's right fist and smashed towards the man with a bang.
"Water and Wood Green Seal!" The middle-aged man clasped his hands together and condensed a huge green and white seal in front of him, which collided with Xue Kong's punch.
However, unexpectedly, the Water and Wood Green Seal could not withstand Xue Kong's punch. It only lasted for a moment before it collapsed. Xue Kong's fist hit the person behind him.
"This is impossible!" The middle-aged man was horrified. He felt that Xue Kong's punch had the power to move mountains and could blow up the earth with one punch.
He suddenly thought of something and looked up: "You are a body-refining cultivator!"
No answer.
He quickly retreated, but his speed was not as fast as Xue Kong. When he was about to be hit by the punch, a hand was placed on his shoulder, grabbing him and avoiding Xue Kong's murderous punch.
"Huh, thank you for the rescue, fellow Taoist." The middle-aged man was sweating profusely, looking like he had survived a disaster.
His cultivation was only at the early stage of Jindan, and he could not resist this punch at all.
"A mid-stage Jindan body cultivator does have some skills," the woman said coldly, her expression indifferent. "Although body cultivation is difficult, it's not invincible. The huge gap between the mid-stage and late-stage cannot be made up by body cultivation."
"Today I will show you the Purple Moon Nation's top magic—the Nine-Colored Heavenly Lotus!"
Xue Kong's face was calm. This young woman was at the late stage of Jindan, and although it was only a short distance away from the middle stage, the gap between them was still difficult to bridge. It was indeed as she said, it was difficult to make up for it with ordinary body refining.
The woman quickly made hand gestures with her hands, and brilliant light shone in all directions, and rich spiritual power spread out.
The next second, the world in front of Xue Kong suddenly changed.
The originally azure sky was suddenly covered by a huge green lotus. On it were smaller green lotuses and even every lotus leaf could be seen clearly. There were even a few drops of dew on it, and the breath of destruction was released from these dew drops.
"Nine-Colored Heavenly Lotus..." Xue Kong frowned slightly and turned around suddenly.
On his left and right sides and behind him, there were eight huge lotus flowers of different colors, covering the sky. It was as if the world had changed drastically, or as if Xue Kong was trapped in the nine-colored heavenly lotus.
All I see are lotus flowers and dewdrops.
"This is the limit of a Jindan cultivator, the most advanced spell of the Purple Moon Nation, and the true power of the Nine-Colored Heavenly Lotus." There was no fear in Xue Kong's eyes, but instead a fighting spirit rose.
"Let me see whether your magic is stronger or my body training is better."
Xue Kong raised his hands and clenched his fists, his cultivation level trembling as he slowly said, "The first level of the Demon Blood Treasure Record... Demon Body!"
“…”
