Under Hun Changqing's gaze, about a mile away, a grayish-brown figure silently floated in the depths of the swamp. The figure was entirely grayish-brown, the same color as the surrounding swamp, and would be difficult to spot without careful observation. Moreover, the grayish-brown figure was covered with ferocious scales, and a grayish-brown scale tail about half a zhang long swayed slightly.
On its head was an irregularly shaped, extremely twisted tentacle, dark green in color, with a faint green light containing potent poison swirling around it.
The figure's limbs were exceptionally thick, and its body was enormous, like a small mountain, giving a very strong visual impact, as if a giant dragon was swimming beneath its skin covered with ferocious scales. At this moment, the demon beast leader had its eyes closed, its thick legs crossed, and its ferocious, huge arms resting on its abdomen, a posture completely identical to that of a human cultivator.
A terrifying aura emanated from the meditating, closed-eye demonic beast, carrying with it a pungent, poisonous wind that swept through the depths of the swamp. Even Hun Changqing, a mile away, could feel it clearly; he could even hear the powerful pounding of the beast leader's heart beneath its skin.
Hun Changqing stared at the scaled demonic beast before him, its terrifying aura sending a chill down his spine. The extremely foul-smelling poisonous wind accompanying that aura caused Hun Changqing's brows to furrow, his eyes filled with seriousness as he gazed at the beast.
"What a terrifying aura! It truly is the realm of a nine-star Dou Zun. Moreover, judging from the oppressive feeling emanating from its Dou Qi, it seems to have already touched upon the level of compressed Dou Qi. It will probably soon step into the realm of a super Dou Zun with compressed Dou Qi, belonging to the same level as the powerful figure who accompanied Gu Xun'er last time.
Tsk, Gu Xun'er can casually come to this remote rural area to experience life and already has a super Dou Zun at the third stage of the Dou Qi realm as her bodyguard. Why don't I have a background like Gu Xun'er in the Soul Clan? Otherwise, why would I need to fight to the death? If I want something, I can just give an order and someone will fight to the death for me. It's truly a case of different fates for different people."
The thought of fighting to the death with such a terrifying magical beast that was about to step into the realm of a super Dou Zun made Hun Changqing feel annoyed. He felt a headache coming on, and then he felt a surge of envy and jealousy towards Gu Xun'er for having such a powerful backer.
However, Hun Changqing only indulged in that fleeting fantasy for a moment before quickly withdrawing his wandering thoughts and refocusing his attention on the scaled beast not far away. After taking a deep breath, his
Yin True Qi instantly began to circulate rapidly within his body. Then, Hun Changqing silently and swiftly left faint traces of Yin True Qi in the four cardinal directions of the scaled beast. He then retrieved the Yin Soul Banner from his own essence, checked it to ensure there were no issues, and instantly
activated the Yin Soul Banner with his Yin True Qi. Instantly, an extremely dense black mist erupted from the entire gray swamp, with Yin energy and death energy spreading and intertwining wildly within the black mist, enveloping the scaled beast.
At the moment the black mist erupted, the scaled beast, which had been sitting cross-legged and cultivating, suddenly opened its eyes. Instantly, blinding scarlet light, accompanied by terrifying killing intent, burst forth from the beast's enormous, bell-like eyes.
A hint of human-like annoyance flashed across the beast's ferocious face, as if it were deeply dissatisfied with being attacked deep within its own territory, and even more furious with its own people who had been guarding the outside but had failed to notice the enemy's infiltration.
The scaled beast stared at the black mist enveloping it, its eyes blazing with bloodlust. Its battle qi surged to its limit, the emerald green qi in its palm resembling a long whip. You'll never believe why I moved to… DortmundMy life in emojis: ✈️, 🏄, 🍣, 🚵♂️ Driven by the demonic beast, a fierce, toxic wind erupted at will. With a powerful flick of its wrist, the green battle aura, like a whip, instantly dispersed much of the dense black mist.
Seeing how easily the black mist crumbled, the scaled behemoth's face revealed a human-like disdain. It sneered inwardly, its initial tension eased by the sudden attack, and it began to underestimate the beast.
However, just as the behemoth lowered its guard and was about to strike, a terrifying burst of black mist erupted from its four corners once more. These four plumes of black mist were completely different from the previous ones.
Not only was their aura more sinister and terrifying, but countless scarlet, ferocious eyes, radiating a chilling bloodlust, flickered within the mist, instantly enveloping the scaled behemoth with a chilling killing intent.
At this moment, directly above the scaled behemoth, a pitch-black figure emerged. A strange, jet-black banner floated before him, fluttering wildly in the impenetrable swamp without wind.
Four black energy threads were drawn towards the four directions from which the black mist was rising. Faintly, a silver light flickered within the banner, and an even more terrifying killing intent and chilling aura brewed within that silver light, seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.
The behemoth surveyed the rising black mist from all directions, sensing the countless strands of soul power within it—powers it loathed and which posed a faint threat. A look of extreme apprehension flashed in its eyes. Then, the scaled behemoth looked up at the black figure directly above it.
"Human...!"
A chilling voice, brimming with murderous intent, seeped from the gaps between the densely packed, sharp teeth in its enormous mouth. The bloodlust in the beast's eyes, fueled by rising killing intent, had reached its peak.
However, remembering the chilling presence around it and sensing the intense threat emanating from the soul power, it temporarily suppressed its murderous intent and addressed Hun Changqing above,
"Human, this is the Graveyard of the Gods, not a place for you. Retreat immediately, or you will be buried here forever!"
The scaled beast's thunderous voice instantly reached Hun Changqing's ears, causing a slight tremor in his heart.
