Chapter 318: Rock Mountain Range’s Holy Land

After splitting the soul of the Holy Spirit Snake, the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master finally freed his hand.

Wu Fan fell from the sky and personally went down to kill the enemies with his saber. The further he went on the path of cultivation, the more bumpy it became, and the difference in realms became greater and greater.

After he entered the battlefield, with his strength, he should be able to break through the current stalemate.

As long as he raised his saber to kill those top demons, with the advantage of high-level combat strength, they could quickly stabilize the situation and counterattack.

Wu Fan immediately targeted a Six-Winged Yaksha. They were the only ones that looked normal and were easier to kill.

However, when he descended from the sky with the monstrous saber aura, an invisible whip condensed from evil mental power instantly arrived.

The whip caught him off guard and instantly shattered the seemingly invincible saber aura.

The slap caused his skin and flesh to split open, and his soul was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. His body flew stiffly far away before barely recovering.

Behind him, under a horrifying whip scar, one could even see the exposed bones.

A similar crack appeared on his soul and Essence Soul.

He, the dignified Sect Master of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, had actually suffered considerable injuries under this strike. He was even pulled out of the city in such a sorry state in front of tens of thousands of disciples.

He, Wu Fan, had never suffered such humiliation!

Who had ambushed him?!

He looked at the spatial crack from afar.

The gazes of both sides collided in the air, but in just a single exchange, Wu Fan fell to the bottom.

No matter how he widened his eyes, he could not compare to the person opposite him.

Behind the spatial crack, an eyeball larger than a house stared at him.

It was this guy who had ambushed him just now. Wu Fan really wanted to rush up and take revenge, but he knew very well that he was not the match of that large eyeball.

The closer he was, the more dangerous it felt.

The reason why it had only lashed out a moment ago and did not continue chasing was because the huge eyeball was too big and could not pass through the spatial crack to come here.

Otherwise, with the power of the evil whip just now, the Myriad Slaughter Sect would have had to flee today.

Where was the other side of this spatial crack? What were these monsters?

Even he, who had lived for more than a thousand years, had never seen such a large-scale invasion of strange creatures.

Wu Fan saw the altar beneath the spatial crack again.

All the energy flowed through the altar. It seemed that it was the core of everything.

No matter who was opposing the Myriad Slaughter Sect this time, if he wanted to end this chaos, he had to destroy that altar first.

However, with the huge eyeball guarding him, it was probably very difficult for him to do this.

After Wu Fan recovered from his injuries, he tested them a few times and, as expected, all of them returned empty-handed. Instead, they lost several of their Soul Formation cultivators.

In the end, they could only establish a defensive line outside the Blackstone City. After pulling open a deep area, they fought these unknown monsters in the vast wilderness.

After leaving the range of the chaotic power, the strength of the Asura World monsters would decrease greatly, and it would be easier to eliminate them.

However, they still had no idea how to break into Blackstone City and close the spatial crack.

…

Within the Rock Mountain Range’s Earth Vein Network.

Jiang Li rode the Earth Stealth Shuttle and floated along the earth vein.

Due to the fact that he had stuffed a large number of blood crystals into the earth vein, causing the blood energy and the power of chaos to fill the nearby earth vein, the Earth Stealth Shuttle’s advance was not very smooth.

The two energies fought in the earth vein, causing the originally stable earth vein to have many more bumps!

If Jiang Li had not canceled the negative karma status, just the word “disaster” would cause his Earth Stealth Shuttle to be completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Jiang Li’s luck had already recovered, so he could repeatedly turn danger into safety.

Although the flying shuttle was also knocked a few times, it was not a big deal. After gradually leaving Blackstone City, this situation slowly disappeared.

At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly noticed that the snake scale that Huyan Long’an had given him had changed abnormally.

A light emerged from the black scales and firmly pointed in a certain direction.

Huyan Long’an did not lie to Jiang Li. This snake scale was indeed the guide to the Holy Land of the Rock Mountain Range.

However, although Huyan Long’an was indeed a descendant of the Huyan family, he was not a direct descendant. Otherwise, he would not have gone to the outside world to develop after reaching adulthood.

Therefore, he had heard the story of the Holy Land, but he had never really gone to it.

After obtaining this snake scale from the direct descendants of the family, no matter how he dripped his blood to refine it or tested it, he was unable to make any changes to the snake scale.

Only then did he give it to Jiang Li.

Unexpectedly, after the Holy Spirit Snake’s soul dissipated, the snake scale suddenly changed.

Of course, the help Jiang Li provided to them was extremely important, and they deserved this reward.

In any case, he was also moving aimlessly in the earth vein.

Jiang Li simply followed the guidance of the spiritual light and began to consciously control the flying ship to enter the different branches.

After an unknown period of time, the surrounding earth vein first became thinner and thinner. After passing through a narrow section, this vein connected to another earth vein network.

At this point, Jiang Li no longer needed to control the direction. The tributaries continuously flowed into the mainstream, and the speed of his Earth Stealth Shuttle became faster and faster.

Up ahead, a barrier suddenly appeared. The flying shuttle could not turn around and directly collided with it.

The Earth Stealth Shuttle, which was not very sturdy to begin with, shattered on the spot.

Jiang Li and the flying shuttle were ejected from the earth vein.

In order to prevent others from using escape techniques to sneak into the earth vein, many foundation arrays would be on guard underground. It was already quite polite to not set up a trap here.

The pale stone wall suddenly shattered, and a thick root squeezed out from inside. The root swelled up and transformed into a human figure, and the person who came out was Jiang Li.

If not for the fact that he also knew an escape technique, he would have dug it out bit by bit from the ground.

“This is a cave?”

The Immaculate Body status quickly cleared away the dust on its body.

Looking around, he did not return to the ground.

Instead, he entered a pale underground space.

There was no sunlight here, and it was not dark. The stalactites hanging down emitted a faint milky white light, illuminating every space here.

The air emitted an aura unique to reptiles, making people instinctively feel uncomfortable.

On the ground not far away, there was a snake skin scattered.

The place that the snake scale wanted to bring Jiang Li was nearby.

He was not in a hurry to search for treasures. Instead, he cautiously used the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra and mobilized his hearing to probe the depths of the cave.

What he was most afraid of was being beaten up by the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

The cave was silent except for the slight sound of air rubbing against the rock wall as it slowly flowed.

The duration of the alternative flows of air could last for several minutes.

It sounded more like the breathing of a large creature.

However, the source of the sound was very far away from him, and it was circulating in the maze-like structure. Even he could not determine the correct location.

This Rock Mountain Range Holy Land was actually the residence of the Holy Spirit Snake.

When Jiang Li entered the Rock Mountain Range earlier, he had rented ten snake demons as guards.

Therefore, that Holy Spirit Snake was not alone. Instead, it had a huge species that belonged to it.

This slow breathing was probably the descendant of the Holy Spirit.

After finding those snakes, he would not be far from the Dragon Pearl.

However, Jiang Li had just taken two steps forward when a fork appeared before him.

Where… should he go?

There was wind on both sides, so it was impossible to use this method to simply judge.

There were no markings or notifications on the two forks, as if it was all based on preference and luck.

Jiang Li’s luck was not bad, but at this time, there was no reason to make a choice. He, Jiang Li, could take both options.

Jiang Li waved his hand and summoned two Wood Demon soldiers, letting them take the lead to scout the way.

After the two Wood Demon soldiers separated and advanced about a kilometer, two more forks appeared in front of them.

This cave was complicated and had many branches. It was a huge three-dimensional maze.

Now, there were only a few forks. After going through them, there were many branches. That was truly terrifying.

Jiang Li, who was standing on the fork at the beginning, noticed this situation from the perspective of the two Wood Demons, but he was not angry in the slightest.

With a remote thought, the Wood Demon’s head was split into two from the middle, and soon, two complete heads grew out.

In the blink of an eye, the entire body below was completely divided into two.

However, although these two Wood Demons looked ordinary, they were products that Jiang Li had upgraded. They were value-added Wood Demon soldiers.

As more and more branches appeared in the underground cave, the Wood Soldiers were divided into four, four, eight, eight, and sixteen, etc. As long as Jiang Li still had spiritual qi, these Wood Demons could continue to split.

Soon, more than 2,000 Wood Demons had been split out, but this maze still only opened up the tip of the iceberg to Jiang Li.

What awaited him ahead was only an even more complicated maze.

However, Jiang Li, who was at the Qi Refinement realm back then, could easily awaken hundreds of Wood Demons. Now, he was countless times stronger than before. Jiang Li did not take this expenditure seriously.

Jiang Li wanted to see how complicated this maze could be.

In the passageway of the maze, human corpses could be seen from time to time.

These were all cultivators from the Rock Mountain Range who had once tried to visit the Holy Land. However, after entering this maze, they often could not find the way back and could only be trapped here.

However, no matter how complicated a maze was, it would eventually run out.

When Jiang Li’s number of Wood Demons exceeded 20,000, a Wood Demon finally arrived at the end of the passageway.

More and more pathways proved to be dead ends. There were also some Wood Demons who met each other as they walked. It was a maze cycle that could easily make people lose their way inside.

After finding the dead end, the Wood Demons took root and marked the wrong place.

The remaining Wood Demons continued forward.

After 30,000… 40,000… 50,000… 54,427 dead ends, the last Wood Demon that was still advancing finally saw a different color.

Then, it was struck by a sharp wind and was cut into two on the spot.

However, although the reproduced Wood Demon was not strong, it was sufficiently durable.

The two broken bodies emitted green light. In the blink of an eye, they turned into two identical Wood Demons and continued forward.

Another irresistible wind attacked, sending the two Wood Demons flying to the stone wall beside them.

This time, they were shattered into hundreds of wooden blocks of various sizes.

However, the green light on the Wood Demon still did not disappear.

Amidst the crisp sounds of friction as the wood grew, the fragments on the ground stood up again, turning into hundreds of identical Wood Demon soldiers.

The black shadow appeared again, and a strong wind assaulted. Another dozen or so Wood Demons were shattered, but at this moment, with the help of the remaining Wood Demons’ eyes, Jiang Li finally saw what attacked them.

It was a huge snake tail with golden patterns.

Jiang Li, who had been sitting on the spot, suddenly opened his eyes.

He finally found the correct path to pass through this maze.

Of the 54,428 passageways that were intertwined and twisted, there was really only one path that could be taken.

There were no reliable signs in the cave, and the three-dimensional cave tested one’s memory.

If it was anyone else who was unlucky and was trapped in this maze, they might not even be able to escape with three years of Inedia Pills.

There should be another way to resolve this. However, Jiang Li did not want to use his brain, so he chose the stupidest method.

He followed the Wood Demon’s path and quickly crossed this distance.

After coming out of a hole, he entered a larger space.

This place was even more moist and dark. There were traces of snakes crawling everywhere.

In front of him, thousands of Wood Demon soldiers were being repeatedly crushed by a huge snake and reborn.

The golden-patterned snake was also anxious. It looked like it would not stop until it killed Jiang Li’s Wood Demons.

This huge snake was far inferior to the Holy Spirit in size and its strength was also much weaker. It was only roughly equivalent to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, snakes of this level were not stupid.

It quickly discovered that physical attacks dealt too little damage to the Wood Demon. Then, it opened its mouth and a thick black poisonous fog spewed out.

When the poisonous fog touched the Wood Demons, the rough surface immediately emitted strange hissing sounds and was quickly corroded.

The shattered pieces of wood that were recovering on the ground also stopped moving under the corrosion of the poisonous fog.

The principles of the Demon Awakening Technique were based on living beings. As long as the toxicity was strong enough to eliminate vital activity in a short period of time, the reproduction naturally could not continue.

It seemed that he still had to continue finding different seeds to awaken the Wood Demons with. He had to find a plant with better resistance as the raw material.

Seeing that the huge snake had finally eliminated his Wood Demon,

Jiang Li no longer hid. After waving his hand to disperse the poisonous fog, he appeared.

“My name is Green Mountain Ascetic, I was entrusted by the Huyan Clan of Blackstone City to visit the Holy Land and take the Dragon Pearl.”

Jiang Li cupped his hands politely and expressed his intention on the spot.

After all, there was no reason to beat about the bush with a snake. If the other party did not understand, he would be in deep trouble.

The huge snake with the golden web tattoo spat out most of the poison in its stomach. It was feeling exhausted.

When he suddenly heard Jiang Li speak, it noticed that there was a human standing outside the cave.

For some reason, the Golden Web Python felt that the aura on this human was very comfortable and instinctively wanted to get closer.

However, Jiang Li’s words still made it wary.

“You’re from Blackstone City?”

“Let me ask you. My master, the Holy Spirit, has been away for months and hasn’t returned. Where is it now?”
