The white fox wasn't stupid; it didn't take the opportunity to pick the green lotus.
Instead, he jumped onto a large tree and observed quietly.
Seeing this, Li Ming put away his sword embryo, took a leap of dozens of meters, and walked towards the green lotus in the mud.
As soon as they got close, they heard a loud "boom"!
Clearly, the water snake was unwilling to give up the blue lotus.
The evil dragon emerged from the water, stirring up the icy pool and filling the sky.
The water in this cold pool is extremely yin in nature, and after being affected by this water snake, it has turned into poisonous water.
It has the ability to corrode metals and iron.
Fortunately, Li Ming's armor was quite good, and with the protective aura formed by his primordial energy, the poisonous water did not harm him at all.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening dragon roar resounded, and the water serpent's enormous tail lashed out heavily towards Li Ming.
This smash could collapse even a small mountain!
For an ordinary martial artist at the Divine Power Realm, being hit by this tail whip would most likely mean certain death.
"careful!"
Seeing this, the white fox hurriedly reminded Li Ming.
He cursed inwardly. This person was indeed quite powerful, probably a genius swordsman among the human race, but he was so stupid that he fell for it so easily.
"Just a tiny water snake, yet it dares to come back to its death!"
Li Ming's lips curled up in a smile.
This water snake isn't even a dragon.
Seeing that he sheathed his sword, could it be that he thought his chance had come?
Unexpectedly, his physique was far superior to that of those sword cultivators.
Golden-red true energy surrounded his body, and golden light condensed between his fists.
boom!
The violent burst of blood energy had solidified into a tangible form, even melting the water in the icy pool.
A fist imprint traversed the void and instantly met the colossal creature!
The two collide.
It was as if a dazzling firework had burst in the sky, the bright light breaking through the haze and illuminating the azure sky of the secret realm.
In an instant, visible turbulence and ripples spread continuously in the void.
Li Ming's blood and true energy merged, creating a golden streak in the air.
But even they seemed tiny in front of that enormous water serpent that was over ten feet long.
It seemed like a clash with no suspense whatsoever, like an egg hitting a rock.
However, the truth is quite the opposite.
The massive, aggressive water serpent let out a mournful howl the moment it collided with the enemy!
Its enormous body froze in mid-air, then plummeted like a meteor, crashing into the distant jungle.
Boom!
The towering trees were crushed by the constantly rolling snake bodies, with leaves falling and sand flying everywhere, creating a deep ravine that stretched for who knows how many meters.
[Slay the thousand-year-old water serpent and gain life energy.]
[Reversal of Fate activated, can seize...]
The white fox looked horrified; such a terrifying water snake had been beaten to death in the blink of an eye!
He thought to himself, "Luckily, I didn't provoke this fierce god."
Otherwise, I would most likely have been captured and skinned alive.
Li Ming was overjoyed to see that he was still alive after killing the demonic serpent.
He had killed quite a few creatures from the secret realm before, but those things didn't count. It was like playing an online game where you fight experience monsters; you only get experience, not rewards.
The corpse of the water snake was also absorbed into Li Ming's spatial artifact. As a Martial Saint, Xue Kuang San, whom he had killed earlier, naturally used an excellent storage artifact.
The space inside was enormous, large enough to hold several snake carcasses of this size.
After doing all this, Li Ming remembered that he had not yet picked his own green lotus.
Back at the pool, they discovered that the cunning little white fox had already wolfed down half of the green lotus.
"Um?"
Li Ming, unhurriedly, reached out and caught the little fox in his hand from afar.
"You audacious human...you...let me go!"
The white fox let out a shriek, its fluffy fur standing on end, completely caught off guard.
"You little fox, you stole my lotus and you dare to be so presumptuous?"
Li Ming feigned anger.
"I think you just want to become a fox fur."
"Waaah... It's all your fault. I used the alluring fragrance to bewitch that giant snake. If you hadn't alerted it, I would have picked it by myself long ago."
Upon seeing Li Mingyi's anger, the white fox felt a terrifying aura wash over it, and its eyes revealed a pitiful look, with tears streaming down its face.
They're like human cubs, making it impossible to bring yourself to hurt them.
The fox clan cultivates the art of seduction, not for the sake of engaging in intimate acts, but to better protect themselves. For example, the exotic fragrance emitted by this white fox can unconsciously create a sense of attraction in people.
However, this was clearly of no use to Li Ming, who continued to speak to himself:
"I wonder if this fox meat has the effects of the green lotus?"
Upon hearing this, the white fox's voice trembled with fear:
"How...how could that be? Besides, fox meat doesn't taste good..."
Just as the white fox was pondering how to escape the clutches of the human before her, she suddenly noticed the token hanging on his body.
"Wait... where did you get this token?"
Seeing that the other party recognized the Azure Emperor Token, Li Ming asked in surprise, "What, you recognize this?"
“Of course I recognize it. The descendants of the Azure Emperor would bring this item into the secret realm. However, it seems that no one has entered this place for a long time. The last time I saw it was more than ten years ago.”
"Of course, that person's strength is no match for yours. If I hadn't saved his life, he would probably have died at the hands of those Yi Wood spirits long ago."
Alas, if this world remains isolated from the outside world, it will be very difficult for us demons to advance any further.
The white fox sighed.
What does this mean?
Li Ming was somewhat puzzled.
"This world is a unique realm, but its laws are incomplete. After advancing to the level of Demon King, it becomes very difficult to make progress... When the Azure Emperor was alive, he would open the secret realm and connect it to the outside world. Unfortunately, since the Azure Emperor fell into slumber, this world has been closed off."
The white fox spoke in great detail, and it didn't seem fabricated at all.
When Li Ming heard that it had once saved someone, he suddenly remembered a story his master had told him.
He was weak when he first entered this secret realm.
They found it difficult to move forward in the face of the creatures that inhabited this mysterious place.
After being severely injured and falling into a coma, he was saved by some unknown entity and was even given a cultivation manual.
That is, the book "Yi Mu Zhen Gong" that was passed on to him.
Could it be that this fox in front of him saved his master, Lin Qiancheng?
"You saved someone more than ten years ago?"
Li Ming asked in surprise:
"I thought you creatures of the secret realm would attack outsiders on your own."
When the white fox saw that Li Ming seemed to know nothing, it immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to show its usefulness.
The human in front of him didn't seem to have much malice towards him.
Thinking of this, the white fox explained in detail:
"This world wasn't like this a long time ago... This place was originally a grotto-heaven created by the Azure Emperor for rest. Our ancestors were originally demon beasts who followed the Azure Emperor."
Back then, the Azure Emperor led our ancestors in a battle against a supreme demon. All our ancestors perished, and the Azure Emperor himself fell into slumber after returning to the secret realm.
Initially, the descendants of the Azure Emperor would often enter the secret realm, hoping for the Azure Emperor's revival.
However, as time goes on, the intervals between entries become longer and longer.
Until hundreds of years ago, no one had come in for a very long time.
"The Azure Emperor created this world for us to cultivate in, so we demons naturally will not attack the Azure Emperor's descendants or inheritors."
"Then why did so many creatures from the secret realm attack me as soon as I entered?"
Li Ming asked, puzzled.
