Chapter 440 The Yin-Eating Python and the Extreme Yin Dragon King!
"You brute!"
Make a judgment in your heart.
As a newcomer, Wang Yu only learned about the actual situation from Yin Gui Demon Lord, so he wouldn't believe everything he heard. If he knew more details, he would definitely stop this person's actions.
As expected.
As the eruption of Gui Water Yin Thunder ended, two bright red, lantern-like spots of light suddenly appeared within the towering, viscous water thunder.
Wang Yu turned his head slowly.
"Fellow Daoist, you'll have to deal with the trouble you've caused yourself."
Yin Gui Demon Lord's expression was somewhat unnatural. He sensed that the life force of the three people had not been extinguished, clearly indicating that they had used special means to transfer his control secret technique.
Now, he was being scorned by his own kind, which left him, the Demon Lord, with no face to save. He couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"As a dignified cultivator at the peak of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, I will naturally resolve this minor trouble!"
"--please."
Wang Yu adopted a look of anticipation, stepped back slightly to make room for Wang Yu.
Clapping~
The sound of scales scraping against the stone slabs rang out, and in the darkness in the distance, a giant creature, illuminated by the mermaid lantern, gradually revealed its true form.
"The Shadow-Eating Python!"
The python, which is over 100 meters long and thicker than a water vat, is in a state of festering scales. Its hard scales are like blades scraping deep into the stone slab, and sparks flash from time to time.
This is an ancient beast with the attributes of water and yin, as recorded in ancient books.
They follow the path of the demon race to achieve sainthood through physical body cultivation. At the fourth level, they cannot transform into human form and rely on brute force to dominate. Their history is even longer than that of human body cultivators.
Moreover, they are born with low intelligence and live like wild beasts, eating raw meat and drinking blood.
It is precisely this low intelligence that gives them a lifespan far exceeding that of demonic beasts, almost reaching tens of thousands of years.
The racial talent of the Shadow Serpent is called [Sleeping Serpent].
Provided with enough energy, it can continuously transform while dormant, making it extremely popular in ancient times and the top choice for sought-after tomb guardian beasts.
Such species no longer exist in the cultivation world today.
No one knows how long this thing has been dormant, but its strength has definitely reached the Nascent Soul stage, or even the initial stage. Whether Yin Gui Demon Lord can deal with it is still an unknown.
Since this place contains the Heavenly Yin Pool, a place brimming with countless Heavenly Yin spiritual energies, it is most suitable as the lair of the Yin-Eating Python.
Wang Yu couldn't help but look at the place where the Gui Water Yin Thunder had been activated earlier.
If the Heavenly Yin Pool is indeed located in this underground palace, that location is the most likely.
The existence of the Yin-Eating Python means that the Heavenly Yin Divine Pearl was likely eaten by this thing. Its dormancy requires a huge amount of Heavenly Yin spiritual energy, and nothing is more abundant than the energy in the Divine Pearl.
Therefore, Wang Yu did not set off immediately, but instead observed the battle between Yin Gui Demon Lord and the Yin-Eating Python.
This person truly lives up to his reputation as the long-established patriarch of the Guishui Demon Palace.
His mastery of the Gui Water Yin Thunder technique was so superb that he transformed the underground palace into a quagmire of water and thunder almost instantly. Although the Yin Python's physical strength was great, it lacked the ability to transform supernatural powers.
Its ability is limited; as long as it doesn't get close enough to be hit by its tail, it's fine.
Actually, they are relatively easy to deal with, after all, human cultivators are known for their multifaceted and external methods.
The Eclipse Python was deeply mired in the black mud and mines, constantly hissing. Its powerful struggles caused the splashes of mud and mines to erode a large pit in the jade stone, but they could not harm its scales.
Yin Gui Demon Lord frowned, holding a black jade glass cup in his hand. It was his natal magic weapon, the Yin Thunder Jade Cup, with a very simple and brutal effect.
The Yin Thunder Liquid stored inside is the power he has accumulated over time, which can temporarily increase the power of his Water Thunder Divine Power when used.
At this moment, a drop was poured out, and the Gui Water Yin Thunder suddenly erupted with a powerful force that was enough to destroy the soul and bones, and the struggle of the Yin-Eating Python suddenly weakened a lot.
Yin Gui Demon Lord suddenly said.
"Something's wrong. The Shadow Python seems to have been severely injured; it has a long wound on its back, running from head to tail..."
—Boom!
The giant tail of the Yin-Eating Python rose high and then slammed down, creating a huge crater in the muddy pool of water and mines. The terrifying force caused liquid lightning to splash in all directions.
Like a boulder crashing into water, the brief contact created a momentary void in the middle. The Eclipse Python leaped up, its red-glowing eyes shooting out two gray beams of light.
Wherever it passed, ice shards flew everywhere, somewhat similar to the Ice Soul Divine Light, and the effect was also quite similar.
This ice channel further prevented the mines from closing in.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yin-Eating Python suddenly swam up and crashed into the Yin-Kui Demon Lord. A flash of dark demonic light appeared, and at the critical moment, the Yin-Kui Demon Lord summoned a water flag.
The light shield released by the magical artifact blocked the attack for him.
The battle of wits has entered a fierce stage.
Not far away, Wang Yu stroked the ring on his hand. His divine sense, at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, had already invaded the body of the Yin-Eating Python. This was one of the advanced divine sense usage techniques of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect.
It's a little trick used to detect whether there are other divine thoughts in the opponent's body, but it can also be used to detect the true nature of a place.
In his perception, the Yin-Eating Python's body was filled with a vast and powerful energy, which was abnormal.
Where is the flesh and blood? Where are the bones? Where are the tendons and ligaments?
This is not a structure that a normal living organism should have; it's like a mass of energy covered with a skin.
He couldn't help but think of Yin Gui Demon Lord's exclamation just now.
A bizarre thought popped into my head, sending chills down my spine.
That is... the Yin-Eating Python in front of us is not a real ancient beast, but a layer of skin... a snake's shed skin? Or a python's shed skin?
What about the real Shadow-Eating Python?
Is it secretly manipulating this skin? With the intelligence of an ancient beast, it shouldn't possess such cunning thoughts.
Numerous questions arose, and Wang Yu became increasingly vigilant. He began to connect the feng shui compass in his hand with the layout of the place, knowing that he could use the feng shui layout to escape at a critical moment.
"Fellow Daoist, please lend a helping hand!"
Suddenly, Yin Gui Demon Lord shouted loudly, disregarding his dignity. Due to his initial misjudgment, he was caught by the Yin-Eating Python's molt and couldn't break free for a while.
Wang Yu was about to make a move, but his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Fellow Daoist, stop pretending. If you can't handle a mere layer of python molt, then you've wasted your cultivation at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm."
This seemingly reckless man is actually incredibly meticulous.
He could only excuse himself by claiming carelessness when he was outmaneuvered by three Core Formation cultivators. However, when he was forced to cooperate with Wang Yu, he harbored a desire to test him.
The main reason is that Wang Yu's secret technique for concealing his aura is too effective.
Unable to ascertain his exact cultivation level, he felt uneasy, so he naturally resorted to a probing strategy of asking for help when he felt he couldn't defeat him.
It was fortunate that he reacted quickly.
Otherwise, if they really got to the Heavenly Yin Pool, the two would definitely have to fight, since it's common sense that an early-stage player can't beat a mid-stage player.
Wang Yu positioned himself as an equal, but the other party might not think the same way.
His thoughts were exposed.
Yin Gui Demon Lord remained unfazed. The power of Gui Water Yin Lightning suddenly surged, slamming the Yin-Eroding Python's molted body into the viscous lightning pool. The massive beast's body instantly withered.
When used at full strength, this is the power of a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Judging from his intuition, Wang Yu estimated that it was about the same as his full-strength Blood Slaughter Heart Sword.
Using magical artifacts and the power of the Dharma, we should be able to defeat him.
Yin Lei transformed into a palm and took the Yin-Eating Python's molt in his hand, while Yin Gui Demon Lord acted as if nothing had happened.
"Fellow Daoist, the true form of this molted demon is still lurking in the shadows, do you have any clues?"
Wang Yu stared at the skin and said.
"The Yin-Eating Python is generally favored by ancient cultivators as a tomb-guarding beast. If it can molt three times, it can transform from a python into a dragon, called the [Yin-Eating Dragon Beast].
"If one can molt nine times, one can transform from a jiao (a type of dragon) into a dragon, and is also known as the [Extreme Yin Dragon King]!"
Yin Gui Demon Lord was taken aback for a moment, then said seriously.
"A true dragon?"
"I don't know. The dragons mentioned in feng shui are not the same as the true spirit bloodline as commonly believed in the cultivation world. If it were really that easy to achieve, there would be no need to use this python molt to test it."
That's the logic, but upon hearing the domineering name of the Extreme Yin Dragon King, Yin Gui Demon Lord still hesitated.
He tentatively suggested.
"Then I'll give this python molt to you, fellow Daoist, as an apology for our earlier probing?"
"Thanks."
Wang Yu immediately "snatched" the python skin into his hands.
Despite the fact that the Shadow Python has shed its skin many times, this one is definitely from its last molt. You can make that judgment just by looking at its freshness and the strength of the Shadow Python.
This treasure can be used to enhance the fourth-tier magic robe, Three Feet of Snow.
It is a rather rare and precious item, and it would be quite valuable in the hands of the right person. It can be enhanced using the Demon Refining Artifact Technique.
He has nothing else but a lot of high-level demon corpses.
Seeing that he "happily" accepted, Gui Yin's eyes twitched slightly, and he continued, "Fellow Daoist, do you have a way to deal with this Extreme Yin Dragon King?"
He who takes a bribe is beholden to it.
Now that he had brought it up, Wang Yu had some thoughts on it as well.
"I can roughly guess the methods used by those three feng shui masters. Since this place was arranged by the ancestor of feng shui masters and a tomb-guarding beast was left behind, it proves that there may be a tomb chamber in the so-called Heavenly Yin Pool. Do you have any other information, fellow Daoist?"
"The tomb chamber... in the overcast pool..."
Yin Gui repeated it like a broken record, then recalled ancient records that there was a Heavenly Yin Pool in each of the four capitals (east, west, south, and north).
My heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be... an imperial tomb?"
Wang Yu was also moved, but quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know what information you used to make this judgment, but it's impossible."
Since the end of the ancient immortal dynasty era, no second immortal dynasty has developed in the Ice Prison Realm, because the first ancient human emperor's cultivation was unparalleled in the world.
When the strongest being is no longer in the Immortal Dynasty, the rule will naturally be overthrown.
Wang Yu had some speculations about the Immortal Dynasty's system.
If it is truly an imperial tomb, it is likely a fake imperial tomb used to deceive unscrupulous grave robbers, or a concubine's tomb used for feng shui burial purposes.
Whose emperor is being buried in the capital?
That doesn't make sense. Besides, according to his judgment, the feng shui arrangement here should be a human arrangement that imitates the earth's layout, called the "Sishui Tianyin Formation"!
Therefore, when Yin Gui mentioned the existence of the Heavenly Yin Divine Pearl, Wang Yu immediately believed him to be 60% true.
He trusted his own judgment.
As for what to do now, the Extreme Yin Dragon King was hiding in the shadows, watching with predatory eyes. He was more interested in the water tokens in the hands of the three feng shui masters.
"Why don't we find those three hiding rats first? What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
"That's exactly what I wanted!"
The other party readily agreed, and so be it.
Wang Yu then made no attempt to conceal the truth, stating that the so-called Sishui Tianyin Formation must have four hidden waterways that provide a continuous supply of water and yin energy to the so-called Tianyin Pool.
There aren't many places to hide in the underground palace, but these four waterways are good hiding places, though there's also a chance of encountering the Extreme Yin Dragon King.
Wang Yu turned the feng shui compass, and the star tracker on it emitted a beam of starlight to guide the way.
"Fellow Daoist, please."
"No problem."
…………
…………
at the same time.
Attracted by the shimmering Water Virtue Star, seventeen or eighteen Feng Shui masters rushed to the small courtyard on the surface of the underground palace.
Lone feng shui masters generally possess the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Those who travel in groups or with cultivators of outstanding combat power are mostly Core Formation cultivators, and their total number is as high as over thirty.
These people appeared around the small courtyard and immediately realized that they were all fellow practitioners attracted by the Water Token. For a moment, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
You look at me, I look at you.
Many of them were even acquaintances, and they greeted each other.
"Brother Lu."
"Brother Gao."
"Senior Brother Chen, you've also come for the Water Virtue Star?"
"Yes, I didn't expect there to be such a valuable treasure related to feng shui masters in the outer city of Dongjijing. Do you think... it's possible that someone in the same field did this on purpose?"
Some exchanged pleasantries, while others couldn't wait to get started.
"Since we're already here, what's there to say? Once I break through this ridiculous trap, I can go inside and find out the truth."
A lone, impatient Feng Shui master specializing in nascent souls.
Take direct action.
Turning the feng shui compass reveals a golden feng shui array that spreads out from the compass, directly neutralizing the multiple feng shui formations in the area.
And so it was.
The small courtyard vanished like an illusion in the wind, leaving behind an underground cavity eroded by dark lightning, as someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
“These are traces of the supernatural power of Gui Water Yin Thunder. That person came here about half an hour before us.”
"Let's go down and take a look."
One by one, everyone jumped into the deep pit and soon arrived at the underground palace. The traces of battle left here were even more exaggerated, and it was not only Wang Yu who could see the Sishui Heavenly Yin Formation.
Soon someone pointed out the key point.
——Four waterways!
Wang Yu had anticipated the arrival of those who came later, which is why he wanted to capture the three Core Formation Feng Shui masters first, and get the Water Token in his hands no matter what.
Eliminate the Water Deity Star, which attracts more people, first.
at this time.
He and Yin Gui were in a waterway, a square passageway like a tomb chamber, with water up to their chests and abdomens, and about two meters of dry space above them.
Yin Gui took the lead, and after sensing for a while with his eyes closed, he shook his head and said, "Those three are not in this waterway."
"Not here?"
Wang Yu frowned slightly. This was the fourth waterway they had searched for. The first three had yielded no trace, so this should be the only one left.
"Wait a little longer."
Wang Yu clasped his hands together, using his divine sense to transform into threads and employing the Myriad Miles Tracking Technique to meticulously search every inch of space.
After a third of an incense stick had burned, his eyes suddenly widened.
"—They're here!"
"who?"
Yin Gui subconsciously asked a question, but quickly realized that what could make Wang Yu's expression change so drastically could not be three Core Formation ants.
That can only be... the Extreme Yin Dragon King!
Splash!
Water splashed everywhere, and a tiny snake, astonishingly small, leaped out. It was no more than a meter long and less than an adult's thumb.
Its body is covered in shiny black scales and has a dragon head.
Except for the fact that the antlers have been replaced by small black spiral antlers, the rest of the dragon is exactly the same as the legendary dragon.
The Yin Lightning materialized, and this tiny, extremely Yin Dragon King, like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly crashed through the Yin Lightning swamp and emerged from between the Yin Gui Demon Lord's eyebrows.
A lot of brain matter splattered out.
Wang Yu: "..."
