Chapter 419: The Prince
Serpent Mountain.
This mountain towered tens of thousands of miles high, stretching across several lightyears, with an extremely vast expanse.
On the mountain, there wasn't a single blade of grass or tree. On the bare gray-white rock surface, there were chilling traces of serpent paths.
Countless stone serpents with gray-white scales freely climbed and frolicked on the mountain...
These serpents were dozens or even hundreds of meters long, with enormous bodies and only a single vertical eye.
The most powerful leader-level stone serpent was over a thousand meters long, and its vertical eye had already begun to nurture a 'Serpent Eye Pearl'. It could emit a strange light, instantly turning those hit by it into stone statues, incredibly cruel.
Hiss!
A streak of light tore through the heavens, causing one stone serpent after another to raise their heads and let out a hissing cry.
At a cliff in the canyon.
Countless stone serpents coiled together, forming a giant snake ball.
The largest snake ball suddenly dispersed, revealing a gray-white giant serpent over three thousand meters long.
It raised its head, and its vertical eye immediately locked onto the intruder.
"This stone serpent has definitely nurtured a 'Serpent Eye Pearl'."
Fang Xing nodded and instructed Song Zhong to draw his battle sword and be the first to pounce.
Hiss!
Hiss!
The stone serpents hissed and pounced forward, but Song Zhong remained calm, swinging his sword and slashing repeatedly.
Streaks of crimson flame rules flashed across, landing on the gray-white scales of the stone serpents, yet they could only leave deep, profound marks.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Song Zhong frowned and activated the Seven Kill Art, causing his power to surge again.
Whoosh!
A continuous wave of sword light descended, sweeping away all in its path, and many stone serpents were cut into several sections, falling from the sky.
Hiss!
The leader of the stone serpents soared into the sky, and every scale on its body burst with gray-white light, carrying a heavy, mountain-like aura.
"Earth Doctrine, no, Stone Doctrine?!"
"An innate insight into the Dao Principles? Or is it some kind of Dao Soldier creation..."
Song Zhong's sword light shifted, and a flame world instantly formed, crushing down.
Within the flame world, a thousand-meter-long giant serpent roared and rampaged, and no matter what flame giant beast it faced, a sweep of its vertical eye would instantly turn them into stone statues, falling from the sky.
"Die!"
Song Zhong held the sword with both hands and roared.
Streaks of flame rules converged, transforming into a dazzling sword aura that burst forth, slashing at the scales of the leader of the stone serpents.
Boom!
The gray-white scales shattered, and the Heart Flame Battle Saber penetrated three inches into the flesh, but it could no longer continue.
Hiss!
A thick serpent tail lashed out, like a mountain pressing down, slamming Song Zhong into the ground.
Boom!
The ground trembled, revealing a huge pit.
In the pit, Song Zhong's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Whoosh!
A flash of silver light, and in the midst of the void flash, Fang Xing had grabbed Song Zhong and brought him to the abdomen of the leader of the stone serpents, pulling him out.
Song Zhong and his sword became one, and the red shadows of three swords merged, heavily chopping at the leader of the giant serpent's original wound.
The giant serpent roared, and its massive body was severed in two, falling to the ground, its vitality still incredibly tenacious.
Sizzle!
A streak of crimson fire flashed, penetrating the leader of the stone serpent's single eye, and a gray-white stone pearl was extracted.
"Is this the Serpent Eye Pearl?"
Fang Xing naturally took it without hesitation, muttering to himself.
Hiss!
Hiss!
At this moment, outside the canyon, the stone serpents seemed to be rioting, surrounding them.
Among them, there were even dozens of leader-level monsters over a thousand meters long!
Judging by the fact that one of them could fight Song Zhong back and forth, if they were surrounded, not only would Song Zhong die, but even the core true disciples of the Seven Kill Demon Palace would also perish without their life-saving trump cards! Even with void flash, the distance covered in one flash was too short to escape the endless sea of serpents.
At this moment, Fang Xing grabbed Song Zhong, and as the stone-hardening light fell, the two of them became ethereal.
In a certain place within the Poisonous Swamp.
A figure and a dragon appeared.
It was Fang Xing, who had just used 'Teleportation'.
With his current attainment in the Void Path, teleporting with someone was a simple task.
With this move, they instantly distanced themselves from danger.
"But... it seems not easy to collect the Serpent Eye Pearls..."
Fang Xing's consciousness soared, breaking into the Great Void Layer and then arriving at the Illusory Void Layer.
From this higher-dimensional perspective, he could overlook the entire Azure Flower Realm, seeing the vast swamp, the towering, continuous stone mountains, and the blood sea at its center!
"This blood sea... has a diameter of about nine lightyears..."
"More importantly... there's a void restriction. I can't go deeper, nor can I see the core..."
Fang Xing felt this was only natural.
After all, it was the heritage of a Heaven Demon Realm Demon Emperor, and it was impossible to leave such a huge loophole.
"It's better to let Song Zhong kill more leader-level stone serpents and collect Serpent Eye Pearls, and then make a big move..."
"Anyway, the working spirit is to keep working here, even if it's a long grind."
"Even if I encounter danger, I can still escape."
...
At the same time.
In a certain cave mansion within the Azure Emperor Palace.
"Fu Qing is dead?"
A serpent man with aquamarine hair and a face that vaguely resembled Fu Qing opened his eyes, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his vertical eye, "Although he was useless... but he was still the waste of my Shooting Breath Division, and now he's dead?"
"Come!"
He took out a command token and shouted.
Although he was only at the peak of the Ninth Stage Mortal realm, the Snake Demon man exuded an imposing aura.
With a single command, over a dozen Essence Spirit Power descended, transforming into various Demon Race Essence Spirit Realm experts: "We pay our respects to the Prince..."
"I just sensed that my only blood-related younger brother is dead..."
The Snake Clan man spoke softly, "Whoever dares to kill my brother, Fu Shan, must pay the price. Investigate!"
"Yes!"
An Essence Spirit Realm elder closed his eyes and then immediately opened them: "Reporting to the Prince, Fu Qing has recently been traveling within the Azure Flower Realm... He should have died either due to the dangers of the Azure Flower Realm or at the hands of Seven Kills Demon Palace cultivators. We have an agreement with the Seven Kills Demon Palace that Essence Spirit Realm and above cultivators are not to interfere in the disputes within the Azure Flower Realm... In fact, we can't even interfere, as we are unable to enter the Azure Flower Realm."
"The Azure Flower Realm, the inheritance of the Blue Flower Empress... Back then, the Empress betrayed the clan for love, yet she ended up with a tragic fate. I didn't care much about her inheritance, thinking of giving other princes a chance... But for that useless younger brother, I might as well make a trip."
Fu Shan asked, "Do we have any clues about the murderer?"
"Currently, none... There are three Lineage Disciples from the Seven Kills Demon Palace active in the Azure Flower Realm, and they all need to be investigated."
A Demon Race Essence Spirit Realm expert spoke up.
"Forget it then, I'll go myself and kill them all... Hmm, I'll also use my merit points to exchange for a 'Cause and Effect Symbol'."
"A Cause and Effect Symbol? Your Highness, please reconsider. This is something that only a Heaven Demon who has completely comprehended the Cause and Effect Principle can refine, and it's quite costly..."
The other Demon Race Essence Spirit Realm experts quickly advised, "Merit points are hard to come by, Your Highness. It's better to focus on your own cultivation."
"My mind is made up. Moreover, this time, I'll take the Blue Flower Empress' inheritance and offer it to the tribe or the palace. It should be enough to make up for it."
Fu Shan seemed to have already considered the Heaven Demon inheritance as his own.
The other Demon Kings all nodded, feeling that it was only natural for the prince to obtain the inheritance.
After all... The Blue Flower Empress was originally from the Snake Clan and belonged to the Shooting Breath Division!
And Fu Shan was a Snake Clan prince. Aside from the bond of blood, they were both highly talented and had the potential to become Heaven Demons in the future.
Even if the tests set by the Blue Flower Empress were extremely strict, they should be able to pass... right?
...
Over a dozen days later.
Serpent Mountain.
Whoosh! A blade of light flashed, and the leader of a Stone Serpent was split in two.
A crimson thread descended, extracting the 'Serpent Eye Pearl' from its vertical pupils.
Hiss!
All around, numerous Stone Serpents roared in anger, wanting to surround the figure riding on a Black Dragon.
Whoosh! A flash of silver light, and the figure riding the Black Dragon disappeared in an instant.
This scene had occurred many times on Serpent Mountain.
"Hmm... The thirty-ninth one."
In a swamp, Fang Xing held the obtained 'Serpent Eye Pearl', feeling quite satisfied.
Over these days, he had been attacking relentlessly, acquiring a large number of Serpent Eye Pearls.
He felt that he would soon be able to try his luck at the Blood Sea.
As a member of the Demon Race, he should have an easier time obtaining some inheritances compared to humans, right?
After all, he had descended with his consciousness, and most treasures were of little use to him.
However, if an inheritance conflicted too much with the rules of the main universe, it would be quite a headache.
For example, the Body Tempering Technique he had chosen before only required starlight to cultivate and was highly adaptable.
As for the method of Essence Spirit transformation, it still needed to be carefully inspected.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, he swept his soul power and discovered a Demon Race member.
"A cultivator from the Seven Kills Demon Palace?"
A green cloud drifted over, and within it, a Green Armored Great Man threw a great hammer in his hand towards Song Zhong.
Boom!
The great hammer flashed with an odd light, piercing through the air, targeting Song Zhong!
In the eyes of others, Fang Xing was just a spirit companion, and if there was going to be a fight, they would definitely go after the owner! It was after discovering this that Fang Xing now brought Song Zhong along on his actions, purely using him as a target to attract attention.
As he had expected, whether it was the Stone Serpents or the occasional Demon Race experts they encountered, regardless of any strange techniques or hidden treasures they possessed, their first instinct was always to target Song Zhong.
This caused Song Zhong to bear the brunt of many disasters.
Even Fang Xing felt a bit reluctant to let this excellent tool die, and he had to protect him more.
Clang!
The Heart Flame Battle Saber unsheathed, and lines of fire crisscrossed through the void, transforming into a Flame World that smashed down.
Boom!
The great hammer flew back, causing the Green Armored Great Man to be slightly startled, but then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Are you a Lineage Disciple of the Seven Kills Demon Palace? Haha... You're dead! The prince has already killed two Lineage Disciples of the Seven Kills Demon Palace, and you'll be the third!"
As he spoke, the Green Armored Great Man waved his battle hammer, engaging Song Zhong, clearly not wanting to let him escape.
'Hmm? The prince is hunting them down?'
Fang Xing flicked his tail, sending a terrifying wave of energy crashing into the great hammer, while also stealing some of the Green Armored Demon's inner thoughts.
And then he was shocked: 'What? Fu Shan wants to avenge his younger brother? He's been crazily hunting down disciples of the Seven Kills Demon Palace? Two Lineage Disciples are really dead?'
