“Why… why didn’t you listen to me… This creature is impossible to capture…” Next to the burning corpse, there was the elder brother of the Soul Pet Master who had been burned to death.
Just now, when everyone was discussing this white nightmare demon-like creature, the Soul Pet Master who had been burned to death insisted that it might be a very young high-level soul pet, because he couldn’t sense the creature’s thoughts.
And so, this delusional Soul Pet Master began chanting a spell, wanting to test this mysterious half-demon.
However, before the Soul Pet Master could even finish chanting the spell, this powerful half-demon sensed his hostility. The next moment, he was greeted with the terrifying white demonic flames that burned him to the point where not even bones remained.
Seeing a supposedly expert Soul Pet Master was killed so easily, a sense of unprecedented fear enveloped the powerful figures of various factions.
Finally, someone realized that the creature before them couldn’t be described by common sense. As they were shocked and horrified, they fled with their soul pets.
When one person began to flee, the mental defenses of the others collapsed as well.
With just one soul skill, this demon could easily kill an Eight Thoughts Soul Master. Similarly, he could kill them effortlessly if they choose to stay. Staying here would only lead them to become a pile of ashes consumed by the white demonic flames.
As all the middle-aged experts dispersed, they were faced with an unknown creature that combined power and strangeness. Before it, even the strongest among them were like weak ants. None of them had the courage to confront it.
Although all the so-called experts from the middle-aged generation fled, Ye Wansheng still stood his ground. The death that flew past him seemed to have stiffened his soul, and although he wanted to fly to Ye Qingzi’s side to protect his younger sister, his body and soul were no longer under his control.
Ye Qingzi’s delicate arms were still holding Chu Mu, and Chu Mu’s eyes turned down, staring at Ye Qingzi with those empty white pupils, still incredibly bewildered.
Ye Qingzi’s heart finally settled when she saw that Ye Wansheng was safe. Her beautiful eyes still concealed crystal tears. She quickly let go of Chu Mu when she noticed his empty gaze, wiping the tear marks on her cheeks…
“Chu Mu, are you okay?” Ye Qingzi tried to communicate with the half-demonized Chu Mu using her soul sense.
However, when Ye Qingzi’s soul sense entered Chu Mu’s spiritual world, she felt like her voice had sunk into a turbulent sea, receiving no response…
Slowly, Chu Mu raised his head, his handsome and enchanting face crowned with silver demonic flames as he stared at the vast sky.
Unable to withstand the combined attacks of over a dozen soul pets in the sky, the Qingzhe Dragon’s strength dwindled, and its combat power was no longer as dominant as it had been initially.
Suddenly, Chu Mu’s body began to float upwards.
Ye Qingzi was startled and wanted to say something to Chu Mu, but he mysteriously soared into the sky, leaving a white trail of smoke in front of her…
After his half-demonization, Chu Mu’s flying speed was incredibly fast. By the time Ye Qingzi came to her senses, the silver molten body had already left her field of vision, becoming a solitary white shadow in the sky, slowly ascending into the vast expanse above…
“Qingzi, Qingzi, are you alright?” Ye Wansheng rushed to Ye Qingzi’s side after the terrifying white demon had left, embracing the slightly bewildered Ye Qingzi with concern in his voice.
Ye Qingzi’s face had turned somewhat pale, not because of the fear the half-demon Chu Mu brought her, but due to the energy backlash from forcing an enhancement of the Battle Court Black Beast’s soul skill. This backlash was intense for Ye Qingzi, and it could even prove fatal if she wasn’t careful.
It was for this very reason that Ye Wansheng was unwilling to see Ye Qingzi use this soul skill.
“I’m fine. It won’t be too long. I’ll recover quickly with some medicine and rest,” Ye Qingzi shook her head. Despite her pale and exhausted face, she still revealed a worried look for the half-demonized Chu Mu.
The battle in the sky was a clash between the strongest beings, and Chu Mu was merely a Second Thought Soul Master. Even if his body was in an abnormal state, participating in such a high-level battle would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.
“Qingzi, what exactly is that creature? I’ve never seen anything so bizarre before. Is it still a soul pet?” Ye Wansheng looked up at the distant Chu Mu with lingering fear in his voice.
Ye Qingzi shook her head without elaborating further. She gathered her exhaustion and called back the worn-out Battle Court Black Beast before letting Ye Wansheng help her to a safe place to rest.
“You old Nightmare Demon Palace ghost! Control your White Nightmare Demon properly!” The Merchant Lord who arrived shortly after shouted.
The Merchant Lord was riding a Ninth Stage Chaos Thunder Feather Demon. His strength was a realm lower than that of Lord Yu, Xiao Ren, and Li Sheng, so he could only control his soul pet to attack the Qingzhe Dragon from a distance.
The Chaos Thunder Feather Demon manipulated both wing and thunder power. When the wings of the built from lightning soared across the clouds, they were suddenly destroyed by a surge of white demonic flames.
The Merchant Lord’s Chaos Thunder Feather Demon had aimed the soul skill at the Qingzhe Dragon, but it was rendered useless due to the interference from the white demonic flames. Naturally, the Merchant Lord was furious, and he directly criticized the Nightmare Demon Palace Master for his poor soul pet control skills.
“Damn it, you Nightmare Demon Palace old ghost, are you trying to play dirty at this critical moment?!” Another angry soul curse came from an expert of the Soul Pet Palace who had joined the fray.
The vice city master of the Nightmare Demon Palace, who had been scolded by two people in succession, was baffled and deliberately looked at his own White Nightmare Demon, which was still preparing its soul skills.
“Hmph, open your dog eyes and see clearly what my White Nightmare Demon is doing!” The White Nightmare Demon Palace Deputy City Master responded disdainfully.
Old Merchant Lord was very close to the Nightmare Demon Palace Deputy City Master; when he looked up, he saw that his White Nightmare Demon was right in front of him.
“Strange, I just felt the White Nightmare Demon pass by me just now…” Old Merchant Lord muttered to himself. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a bizarre creature enveloped in white demon flames appearing in front of him!
At first, the Old Merchant Lord was calm, as he was an experienced person. He immediately chanted a spell to protect himself and his soul pet.
No aura!
There wasn’t even the slightest sense of threat, but a bone-chilling cold from the Nine Netherworlds was slowly invading his soul!
When the Old Merchant Lord saw the true face of this unknown creature, his face turned grave. The creature in front of him was not a White Nightmare Demon, but it was even more powerful and evil. It did not emit any aura from its body, yet it made people feel fearful from the bottom of their hearts. The white flames outside its body did not show any energy, but they could incinerate everything once ignited!
Cold sweat slid down the Old Merchant Lord’s forehead. He had lived for so long but had never seen such a strange creature. With less than a meter’s distance between them, he didn’t even know how it appeared on the back of his Chaos Thunder Feather Demon.
“Ahhhhhh~”
Above the Long Sky, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.
All the experts surrounding the Qingzhe Dragon noticed this scream, and they immediately turned their heads, their gazes focusing on the source of the sound.
White demonic flames fell from the sky, and everyone was taken aback because no one expected the Old Merchant Lord, who was furthest from the battlefield, to be burned by the demon flames and then plummet straight from the sky, clearly suffering a heavy blow from the soul demon flames!
Soon, everyone’s gaze fell on the Nightmare Demon City Master because the only creature that could control the white demon flames was the evil soul pet, the White Nightmare Demon, from the Nightmare Demon Palace. This situation could only have occurred due to this creature’s deceit.
But the Nightmare Demon city master didn’t do anything, and now his gaze was fixated on a white, arrogant demon shadow slowly rising into the vast sky battle. Even he, who was usually calm and steady, could hardly hide the panic and shock on his face!!
“What is that?!!!!”
“Whose soul pet is it? Whose soul pet?!”
“White Nightmare Demon, no, it’s even stronger than the White Nightmare Demon… What kind of creature is this? I’ve never seen this kind of creature before…”
Finally, all the experts discovered the frightening demonic creature that had quietly entered the magnificent battlefield. This demon creature was so quiet that it didn’t make any sounds or even release any skills. If it weren’t for the Old Merchant Lord’s scream, no one would have noticed its terrifying presence!
Indifferent—the demonic monarch mask on its face showed no expression, it was disdainful of all other creatures!
Apathetic—its pale, empty eyes showed no emotion, only observing the world while silently taking lives!
Bizarre—invisible, filled with an evil power that was completely different, as if it came from another dimension.
Mysterious—no one could tell whether it was a human or a soul pet, or perhaps a creature that had never been recognized by humans before.
Powerful—this kind of power was completely hidden, but its mad and wild temperament suggested that when its power was unleashed, it would likely cause earth-shaking destruction!
At this moment, everyone was shocked by this creature that was indifferent, apathetic, bizarre, mysterious, and powerful. No one could explain anything about it!
Now, World Lord Li Lao, the leader of the strong ones, had a solemn expression on his face, and he couldn’t sense the creature’s aura even at the highest level.
The Qingzhe Dragon gave people a sense of absolute power and destruction, and its combat strength could be felt from its huge dragon body and powerful aura.
But in front of this demonic creature engulfed in white demon flames, its power was completely hidden, showing no trace of it. It was a complete contrast to the wild temperament of the unbeatable Qingzhe Dragon.
“Everyone, be very careful. It’s powerful. Although the force isn’t overflowing, I can feel that there is an immense amount of energy inside this demonic creature!” Li Lao, the World Lord, sensed the power of this demonic creature and immediately warned everyone with his soul sense.
Li Lao, the World Lord, had no idea that the massive energy he mentioned in the creature’s body was the energy of the Jade Spring, stolen by the Qingzhe Dragon.
The major powers could never have imagined that the demon in front of them, terrifying even the high-ranking experts of the older generation, was a young man who had demonized after absorbing the Jade Spring!
(I haven’t fully recovered from the cold, and I fell asleep while writing just now. I only finished it now, and I apologize to my friends who have been waiting for the update~~~~~~~)
(In the past few days, several friends have been very enthusiastic in rewarding me with monthly tickets for Little Fish. Honestly, I am very grateful for your generosity and support for Little Fish~~~~~~)
(I have been disheartened with the results of my work before, and sometimes I even feel sad. But I know that all of this comes from my immaturity in handling the novel. People can progress as long as they persevere and work hard. The things they write will definitely become better and better. As long as there are readers who support me, regardless of the number, I will treat my novel and readers who like my work with a sincere attitude. I hope you can continue to support me, and Little Fish will gradually grow…)
