Chapter 384: The White Phoenix Demon Emperor
Chapter 384: The White Phoenix Demon Emperor
The Illuminating Thunder Pool returned to its calm state.
On the shore tainted by demonic blood lay two brutally mutilated corpses.
The Abyssal Spider Emperor lay sprawled out, its body riddled with deep burn marks, and its insides a mess from the spiritual imprint.
Not far from it, the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor lay as if trying to escape, its body also struck by the spiritual imprint, its flesh flayed open to reveal deep gashes that exposed the bones beneath.
Shen Yi lay on the ground, his eyes closed as he observed the panel.
[Killing the Abyssal Spider Emperor at the Perfection of Transformation stage: Total lifespan of 97,000 years, remaining lifespan of 14,000 years, absorption complete.]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 63,000 years]
This old demon had no idea how long it had survived in the Thousand Demon Cave.
Its remaining lifespan was meager, but this was within Shen Yi's expectations. However, he didn't feel disappointed, as the demon's use wasn't merely limited to its lifespan.
At the moment, he was eager to find a secluded place to study the Limitless Dao Palace.
However, he couldn't move just yet.
If possible, directly using the Nan Yang Transformation Technique to disguise himself as the Abyssal Spider Emperor would be a good option.
But this path still presented some problems.
The most important one was his cultivation. Even with the transformation technique's realism, the demonic energy radiating from his body would be vastly different, making it nothing more than an empty shell.
Secondly, even if he were lucky enough to assume the identity of the Abyssal Spider Emperor, he could freely enter and exit the Treasure Pavilion, but the other caves would forever be closed to him.
For the time being, Shen Yi didn't want to sever his ties with the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor.
On the path of cultivation, one needed more than just cultivation techniques.
Artifacts, pills, and heavenly treasures were all indispensable.
"...”
Thinking of this, Shen Yi quietly maintained his dying appearance.
As he had expected, after the Iron Painting Silver Hook Formation dissipated, the lingering demonic energy and stench in the area quickly attracted the attention of many.
They cautiously drew closer, whispering among themselves.
Before long, two winged demons swiftly flew off into the distance to deliver news to the Great Demon Emperor's cave mansion.
"They're dead... both the Spider Emperor and the Lion Emperor are dead..."
The remaining demons gathered around, their eyes—each unique in shape—filled with uniform fear.
The Thousand Demon Cave hadn't suffered such heavy losses in countless years.
Starting with the Blood Transformation Demon Emperor, numerous Demon Emperors had been secretly killed in a short span of time, their deaths a mystery.
The peaceful days had been abruptly shattered.
Could this still be the unparalleled Thousand Demon Cave?!
Whoosh—
Amidst the demons' hushed voices, a streak of golden light descended from the sky, landing by the Thunder Pool in the blink of an eye.
A voluptuous woman stared intently at the ravaged Thunder Pool.
Her gaze swept over the corpse of the Abyssal Spider Emperor before quickly landing on the lion's body.
"Who did this?!"
Her ample bosom heaved, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.
As her sharp question rang out, the demons' faces twitched, and they involuntarily lowered their bodies, emitting whimpering cries.
"Asking them is useless."
A gentle voice echoed in the air.
Immediately after, a sturdy white horse approached, its body resembling that of an ordinary horse despite its fine appearance. The only strange feature was the lack of eyes on either side of its head, with a vertical pupil on its forehead instead.
The vertical pupil was pitch-black and devoid of light, making it seem even more bizarre against the white body.
Additionally, a scar similar to a lightning strike marked its chest.
For a Demon Emperor, a formidable body could heal almost any injury, so this was obviously a deliberate choice, perhaps to remind itself of something.
"...”
The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor turned her head, her demeanor agitated, but she forcibly suppressed her emotions and casually cupped her hands together.
Even though that cultivator had comprehended the rudimentary form of the Dao Palace, he could only escape with severe injuries in the end.
The White Phoenix Demon Emperor landed on the Thunder Pool, and the churning thunder liquid naturally parted, allowing it to tread upon the air as it swept its vertical pupils over its surroundings.
With this simple action,
Black mist remnants suddenly rose in the surroundings.
It summoned a wisp and examined it carefully before it, after pondering for a moment, walked over to the Abyssal Spider Emperor's remains and gently poked at its corpse with its front hoof.
During this time, all the demons, including the Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor, remained silent.
Until the white horse came to stand before the lion.
The Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor's eyelids twitched, and she took a slow step forward. "How did it die?"
The white horse casually flicked its hoof, flipping the eight-zhang-tall, robust body over, and said indifferently, "It's not dead."
Before the words had finished leaving its mouth, it suddenly stepped on the lion's heart.
Under that immense force, Shen Yi spurted out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and faintly opened his eyes.
"Who did this?"
The white horse asked concisely.
"Shen Yi, Lingxi Zhenren," Shen Yi replied weakly.
Hearing this, the white horse stared at the lion's face with its black eye, and after about ten breaths, it slowly stepped down. "It's the truth."
"How is that possible!"
Even the Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor, who trusted the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor the most, was astonished upon hearing this.
She had personally fought against both of these cultivators.
Even putting the lion aside, the Abyssal Spider Emperor, at the very least, wouldn't have suffered a loss even if it couldn't kill the two of them.
After all, this spider was most skilled at dealing with cultivators from Wutong Mountain.
But the White Phoenix Demon Emperor's judgment had never been wrong... Could it really be true?
"They laid two grand formations and had long planned this."
The White Phoenix stared at the ground, peeling off some red from the black mist remnants, and after taking a deep breath, it inhaled the scorching red mist into its nostrils. "You were deceived by Lingxi Zhenren. She isn't as weak as you said, and she's using retreat as a ploy. Her target isn't this lion, either."
"Are you saying the problem lies with me?"
The Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor bared her teeth, a hint of discontent on her wild face.
However, the White Phoenix Demon Emperor didn't pay her any heed and said indifferently, "Take it back and nurse it back to health. Wait for me to interrogate it."
Hearing this, the voluptuous woman walked over to Shen Yi, her face gloomy. She transformed into her massive Nine-Striped Savage Tiger form, picked him up, and swiftly flew off toward the horizon.
All the way back to the Spirit Planting Garden.
She crashed through the light barrier, found a secluded spot, and threw Shen Yi onto the ground.
She then transformed back into her human form, crossed her arms, and stood there, adjusting her breathing.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, the matter was indeed as the White Phoenix had said. The news about Lingxi Zhenren had been spread as a joke by her, and she had also known about that cultivator with the surname Shen.
According to reason, this matter should have drawn attention.
Yet she had tacitly assumed that Lingxi Zhenren had already escaped the Thousand Demon Cave... Those despicable creatures had dared to collude and deceive her.
The Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor clenched her teeth and glanced at Shen Yi with a hint of guilt. "This time, I'm at fault. Rest assured, I will compensate you."
Shen Yi frowned and pressed his hand against his chest, not replying. Instead, he coughed forcefully several times.
At the same time, he quietly glanced around.
All around were fertile fields of some kind, filled with spiritual energy. Just a whiff of it made one feel their spiritual energy smooth out and become much more comfortable.
