Yue Xiaoqian formed hand seals with her jade-like hand, and runes surged from her palm. At the same time, vast water fluctuations appeared, and she was enveloped in endless water mist, making space blur.
"Xiaoqian, are you... When did you become a water-type cultivator? Long Chen looked at Yue Xiaoqian in shock.
In Long Chen's memory, the power cultivated by the Primordial Demon Clan experts was not elemental energy or spiritual energy, but the power of the Primordial Demon, completely different from most cultivators. He had never heard of Yue Xiaoqian controlling water-element power.
Yue Xiaoqian smiled slightly and said, "In the mortal realm, disciples of the Primordial Demon Clan must focus wholeheartedly on cultivating the power of the Primordial Demon and firmly build a solid foundation."
After flying to the Immortal Realm and igniting the divine fire, new powers awaken for a second time. My destiny is water, so I can master water-based powers. "
Then when you fought the Corpse Calamity, why didn't you use your water power? Were you still preserving it back then? "Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"No, no, no, my primordial demon power and water elemental power share the same source. The power between the two can be switched back and forth.
My water-element power poses no threat to Corpse Calamity, so I only use the power of the Primordial Demon to suppress him. Yue Xiaoqian explained.
"Buzz!"
As Yue Xiaoqian formed hand seals, endless water vapor surged, and the black water in the swamp began to surge, slowly rising into the void.
"Sss!"
Yue Xiaoqian's hand seals changed, and the water power around her surged toward the black water. When her water power collided with the black water, a cloud of mist surged through the air.
"Can even other waters corrode it?" Everyone was shocked. Water could merge with each other at any time.
When Yue Xiaoqian's water power touched the black water, it was like touching a red-hot iron, releasing a cloud of steam. A pungent fishy smell hit him, and upon smelling it, Guo Ran immediately felt his mind grow dizzy, his body swayed, and he nearly fell.
"Close your pores."
Long Chen shouted. The moisture was highly toxic. Inhaling a small amount might not be fatal, but he wasn't sure if it would continue to damage his body. It was best to be cautious in all things.
"It's terrifying. Just a little moisture almost made me faint." Guo Ran couldn't help but be exasperated.
That mist wasn't black water, but rather the evaporation of Yue Xiaoqian's water power, tainted with a trace of black water, yet possessing such terrifying abilities. If it were swallowed by black water, even ten thousand lives wouldn't be enough.
"Buzz!"
Within Yue Xiaoqian's water power, countless runes condensed, like a water dragon, swallowing part of the black water into a sphere about a foot in size.
On the black water sphere, a transparent membrane was wrapped, and countless runes swirled on it, firmly locking the black water within.
When a black water ball floated toward Guo Ran, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle: "Sister Xiaoqian, is this water film really secure?" "
Don't worry, it's very secure." Yue Xiaoqian said with a smile.
"Whoosh!"
Guo Ran was about to reach out to touch the water balloon when it suddenly fell and crashed hard to the ground. Terrified, Guo Ran screamed loudly and jumped into the air, afraid the ball would burst and splash black water all over him.
But when the water ball hit the ground, it bounced high again, flicking a few times without any harm. Seeing Guo Ran so frightened, Mo Nian and Long Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing. Yue Xiaoqian hadn't expected Guo Ran to be so scared, and instead felt a bit embarrassed.
"Wow, amazing! Now I can rest easy." Guo Ran wasn't angry either; he hugged the black water sphere excitedly.
"When we get back, you and Xia Chen can imprint a detonator talisman on it, and then you can use it as a weapon." After saying this, Yue Xiaoqian continued her work.
One water sphere after another was extracted. After an hour, over 100,000 water spheres were extracted, some about a foot in diameter, some several zhang in diameter.
After all, Yue Xiaoqian was also feeling her way through stones, gradually adapting, and the water balloons she made grew bigger and bigger.
By the time the more than 100,000 water spheres were made, all the water in the Blackwater Swamp had been completely consumed.
Originally, Long Chen planned to use the black soil from the chaotic space to make containers to hold the black water, but once Yue Xiaoqian made a move, it became much easier.
This black water looked like water, but in reality, it was all sticky stomach juices, with terrifying corrosive power and deadly toxicity.
Putting them away was like giving everyone a terrifying trump card. Even if they encountered an army of Supreme-level experts, if the black water was spilled over, they would likely die in large numbers.
"Such a terrifying existence actually died here. I wonder what scale that battle back then was." Having collected most of the Golden Mountain and Black Water, Mo Nian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the vast, boundless space.
This was the world inside the Devouring Toad's belly. Even though the toad had been dead for countless years, the space here remained stable, showing just how powerful it truly was.
"The beings of the ancient era were nourished by chaotic energy. Their strength is beyond our imagination." Long Chen also sighed.
Before entering the Three Thousand Worlds, he never imagined that there were so many terrifying beings in this world. Compared to them, he seemed far too weak.
"Let's go. Don't linger too long, so Xia Chen won't worry." Yue Xiaoqian said. After collecting the black water, her complexion was slightly pale, clearly not easy to obtain.
Everyone nodded. When Guo Ran entered, he had already marked the location—that was the spatial node.
However, when Guo Ran attacked the spatial node, an awkward scene unfolded. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the spatial gate.
"Sssh!"
Yue Xiaoqian traced her finger across the void. The horn of the Moon-Watching Heavenly Rhino on her finger flashed sharply, slicing open a large gap in the void, and light shone through through it.
"Impressive,"
Long Chen couldn't help but admire him. This Moon-Watching Heavenly Rhino Horn was truly a divine artifact. He had originally planned to violently pierce the void with a dagger, but now he simply didn't need it.
"Huff huff huff huff"
The four of them crawled out from the spatial rift, just in time to see Xia Chen focused on collecting the Swallowing Toad's teeth.
"What was the gain?" Seeing Long Chen and the others come out unharmed, Xia Chen said happily.
"With my luck, I must have a bountiful harvest. Looks like you're not bad either!" Seeing Xia Chen arrange these teeth according to certain rules, it seemed he had discovered something.
"Heh, this time I really found a treasure—a full seventy-two teeth, each one a domain artifact-level treasure.
Moreover, there are natural formation patterns between them. I just studied them, and they have endless uses.
I think this set of teeth is no worse than Sister Xiaoqian's Moon-Watching Sky Rhinoceros Horn. Brother, sorry, but although you discovered this, it has to be mine. Xia Chen said excitedly.
Guo Ran laughed heartily. He had gained even more—gold mountains, black water. Just as he was about to show off to Xia Chen, Long Chen interrupted him.
"Let's go. There are treasures everywhere here, opportunities are rare, don't waste timeDeep inside, there should be even more treasures. The
group continued deeper into the Sky Burial Land, but strangely, as they pressed on, there were no more corpses left—only endless desert.
In the endless desert, after walking for a whole day, if not for the hairpin's pointer and Mo Nian's map, they might have thought they were heading the wrong way.
Suddenly, Long Chen, Mo Nian, and the others stopped. In front of them appeared a massive cave, formed entirely from endless piles of bones, with an endless aura of death emanating from within.
"It seems this is the true land of sky burial." Mo Nian stared at the cave entrance, his expression turning serious.
