  "Duo Ji, open your eyes wide and watch on as I kill the two children. I will wipe out Xiang Yangzhan's family," said Summer Flame as he withdrew from the battlefield and sent an attack toward Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Chaomu.

  Duo Ji was greatly alarmed and tried to stop Summer Flame, but that was in truth merely a distraction. Winter Frost took advantage of the distraction and attacked with full power, instantly encasing Duo Ji in a chunk of ice.

  "Haha, we finally got him. Now, it's time to kill the two children," said Summer Flame as he howled with laughter before sending a flaming palm toward Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Chaomu.

  Right this moment, a roar suddenly rang in the air.

  "Roar!"

  Chapter 330: Mighty Old Demon

  A deafening tiger's roar reverberated throughout the area. Winter Frost and Summer Flame paused what they were doing upon sensing the demonic aura that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, confusion in their eyes.

  They could not understand why such a powerful demonic beast would appear here at such a desolate location. More importantly, they had a feeling that the demonic beast was here for them.

  Sure enough, three figures could suddenly be seen streaking through the air toward them. All three of the figures had humanoid forms, but from the unique characteristics on each of their bodies, it was obvious they were demonic beasts that had assumed humanoid forms.

  The old man leading the ground looked exactly like an ordinary human. He had a sturdy build, a thick demonic aura emanating from his body at all times, and a pair of bright eyes that was hard for one to look straight at.

  Beside him was a delicate and handsome young man. His demonic aura took the form of a white tiger king, his bearing regal. The third person looked like a man about 30 years old. He was dressed in a gold crocodile leather outfit, with scales visible on his arms. It was very obvious he was a demonic beast.

  The young man shouted in excitement when his gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun, "Boss!"

  He started diving down from the sky toward Xiang Shaoyun.

  "Where is this little beast from? You dare show disrespect before me?" Summer Flame was furious to see that the young man had completely ignored him.

  In his fury, he sent a palm attack at the young man. It was a palm attack strong enough to turn Emperors into mincemeat, more than enough to deal with a Demon King.

  "Impudent! You dare lay hands on the prince?" the old man roared and stomped his foot down.

  The stomp was extremely powerful, giving a feeling like the sky itself was collapsing on the world below, a dreadful stomp capable of instantly turning a massive area into a massive crater.

  "Summer Flame, watch out!" Winter Frost called out in warning.

  But the warning was unnecessary as Summer Flame himself could sense how dreadful the attack was. He quickly canceled his attack and met the stomp with a flaming fist. The flaming fist was similarly boundlessly powerful, looking like it was going to smash the sky apart.

  The fist and the foot collided, creating a massive eruption of energy that rippled in all directions, reaching even 10,000 miles away, presenting a dreadful sight as if the world was ending.

  When everything settled down, Summer Flame could be seen dropping from the sky, stomped into the ground by the foot. Evidently, Summer Flame had suffered defeat.

  "H-how is that possible? Where did this Demon Sovereign come from?" Winter Frost cried out in alarm before unleashing his own attack on the old demon. Ice covered both his palms as he sent a terrifying wave of frost forward, creating numerous snowflakes and instantly dropping the area's temperature.

  World of Ice!

  Winter Frost cultivated the power of frost, and he had reached a high enough level in his cultivation to change the weather. The wave of frost surrounded the old demon and started freezing him.

  "Hmph. Just this much frost energy and you want to freeze me? Dream on!" said the old demon with a snort. He erupted with a massive demonic aura, which shattered the ice around him before he sent another kick out, this time toward Winter Frost.

  This time the attack was visible enough for people to see that it was actually the leg of an elephant that had been greatly enlarged. Winter Frost immediately changed his stance and joined his palms to form a spike of ice before stabbing at the elephant leg with it. The massive ice spike looked extremely sharp, like it would definitely pierce through the elephant leg. But when the spike actually came into contact with the leg, it shattered.

  Bang! Bang!

  Crack!

  Both of Winter Frost's arms were broken trying to meet the stomp. With blood spouting out of his mouth, he was sent flying several meters away, looking extremely miserable.

  "Winter Frost, attack together!" Summer Flame soared to the sky again and roared.

  He waved his fire medallion around, summoning a thick tongue of flame to create a sea of flame. Winter Frost quickly regained his footing and took out a silver flag. He gathered all his energy into the flag, causing the flag to enlarge many times over. He then waved it around repeatedly, causing the weather to change, summoning a massive amount of snowflakes. Fire and ice surrounded the old demon with a power strong enough to destroy large swathes of land.

  "Interesting, but still not enough," the old demon sneered as he moved, summoning two massive elephant legs. One of the legs stomped at the sea of flame while the other stomped at the snow storm. A massive force surged out of the two legs.

  Bang! Bang!

  Two deafening explosions sounded as the fire and ice completely dispersed, followed by two old figures dropping from the sky while coughing blood.

  "Leave!" Winter Frost cried out anxiously before fleeing in one direction.

  Summer Flame was not slow either as he quickly fled in the opposite direction, leaving behind a trail of fire as he flew far away. The old demon did not bother giving chase. If one focused on him, one would be able to see that his legs were still being ravaged by some leftover energies of fire and ice.

  "They are quite capable, after all," the old demon sighed before jolting the two energies off his legs.

  The old demon held an absolute superiority in the fight, yet his legs had still sustained some injuries. If it wasn't for his powerful innate defense, it would have been enough to cripple his legs.

  However, he was aware that the two old men would have a bad time as well. They would need at least half a year or even one whole year to recover to their peak strength. After all, the old demon's stomp attack wasn't a joke either.

  "Boss, Little White is here to see you!" The young man once again rushed toward Xiang Shaoyun after the battle was over.

  He was none other than Little White who had assumed a humanoid form. Back when Little White and Xiang Shaoyun separated at the Golden River Valley, Little White had left an imprint on Xiang Shaoyun, forming a connection between the two.

  When Little White found out that Linggu Haonan's group was going after Xiang Shaoyun at the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, he started begging the patriarch to let him leave and look for Xiang Shaoyun.

  Initially, the patriarch had refused. But he could not stand Little White's endless pestering and thus decided to give Little White a mission instead. If the mission was completed, he would let Little White leave.

  And with great difficulty, Little White was able to complete the mission. The patriarch cared greatly for him, and thus, he sent a top Demon Sovereign to serve as his guardian while he looked for Xiang Shaoyun.

  Relying on the imprint he had left on Xiang Shaoyun, Little White had finally arrived here. Fortunately, they had arrived in time. It would have been unlikely for Xiang Shaoyun to have survived otherwise.

  Chapter 331: We're on the Same Side

  Little White wanted to approach Xiang Shaoyun, but the defensive barrier around Ye Chaomu was stopping him from advancing.

  "What the hell is this? Get out of my face!" Little White had a bad temper, and with a shout, he punched the barrier.

  Bang!

&nb
sp; His punch was powerful, but it failed to create even a ripple on the barrier.

  "Let me in!" Little White demanded furiously.

  At this time, Jin Wo, Little White's follower arrived and said, "Prince, allow me to help you." He then attacked the barrier with his full power as well. But the barrier still stood tall and was completely unharmed. Within the barrier, Ye Chaomu was completely ignoring them. Her gaze was still focused on Xiang Shaoyun, as if nothing else could catch her attention before Xiang Shaoyun woke up. At this time, a few of the Thirteen Eagles arrived and gathered around Ye Chaomu.

  First Eagle was in a much better condition than the others. He shouted loudly at Little White and Jin Wo, "Don't act rashly! My young lady is the little sister of the young master! She won't harm him!"

  First Eagle had seen himself how strong that old demon was. Thus, he did not wish to provoke them. He did not know if his young lady's barrier could last against the old demon's attack.

  "She is my boss's sister?" Little White clarified.

  First Eagle nodded. "Yes, can't you see that she's trying to help the young master?"

  "Fine, I'll wait here for my boss to wake up," said the relieved Little White.

  At this time, a stuffy sound of an explosion suddenly rang out.

  Bang!

  A massive chunk of ice exploded, and a figure flew out of it.

  "That is so damn cold!" Duo Ji's grumbling voice rang out.

  He had been careless and fell for Winter Frost's trick, causing him to be trapped in the chunk of ice until now. Fortunately, the old demon had appeared. Otherwise, things would not have ended up well for him.

  Although he had been trapped in the chunk of ice, he could still sense everything that had happened earlier. He had never imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would still have such a terrifying reinforcement.

  That old demon was even stronger than Duo Ji during his peak! Duo Ji flew toward Ye Chaomu, and when he saw that both her and Xiang Shaoyun were fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

  Inwardly, he wondered, Is this a trump card Lord Wu Xie had given the young lady to protect herself? It is indeed something extraordinary. I don't think I can break it easily at all.

  "Are you that...that old drunkard that once saved my boss in the past?" asked Little White in astonishment when he saw Duo Ji.

  "You are?" Duo Ji asked in confusion.

  He could see that Little White was a Demon King tiger and that he was most probably of the legendary breed, a white tiger. That realization astonished him as a demonic beast of such pedigree couldn't be tamed easily. How was this beast related to Xiang Shaoyun?

  "Have you forgotten me? I'm Little White! We met when you saved my boss in the past!" said Little White.

  The scene of what happened at Wu Town surfaced in Duo Ji's head, followed by the image of a little tiger. He cried out in astonishment, "You were that little tiger by my young master's side back then?"

  Little White nodded. "Yes, that was me."

  "Wow, you sure are growing fast. Back then you were just a tiny tiger. Look at you now, a Demon King already. Seems like your bloodline is awakening?" Duo Ji praised.

  "Yeah. That's all thanks to my boss!" said Little White with a foolish smile on his face.

  "Prince, time's up. We have to go back now," said the old demon.

  "No! I'm not leaving! I'm waiting until my boss wakes up!" said Little White stubbornly.

  "But the patriarch...," the old demon hesitated.

  "Don't worry. I will go with you immediately after my boss wakes up," promised Little White.

  Looking at how firm Little White was, the old demon gave up on persuading him.

  As for Duo Ji, he thanked the old demon gratefully, "Thank you, Demon Sovereign, for the help."

  The old demon only nodded as a response and remained silent. Duo Ji was aware of how lofty some demonic beasts could be. Many of them loathed associating with humans. Thus, he did not say anything else and started checking up on the other members of the Thirteen Eagles with First Eagle.

  The Thirteen Eagles were strong enough. None of them were dead, but many of them had been gravely injured and were having a hard time recovering. With Duo Ji's help, their conditions had improved speedily.

  At this time, Duo Ji found that there was a response from Linggu Haonan's corpse. He flew over and found that there were some soul undulations in his head. Slowly, vitality seemed to be returning to the body as well.

  "Bastard, you're actually feigning death? Let me destroy you with your body!" said Duo Ji before sending a palm attack over.

  If the attack struck, nothing would be left of Linggu Haonan.

  "Little bastard, don't mess around. I have just consumed his soul and am going to be reborn in this body," Devouring Ghost's voice rang out.

  "There is such a sinister being here? More of a reason to destroy you, then!" said Duo Ji as his expression shifted.

  "Don't mess around. We're on the same side. I'm the young master's follower," said Devouring Ghost. Although Duo Ji was nothing in his eyes, in his current condition, he was completely helpless and was forced to further explain himself.

  "Don't even dream of tricking me!" Duo Ji refused to believe him.

  At this time, First Eagle arrived and said, "Guardian Duo Ji, the young master had requested to preserve his corpse."

  "Do you know there is another soul in this body?" Duo Ji questioned.

  In his astonishment, First Eagle extended his senses over to Linggu Haonan. Immediately, his gaze turned sharp, and he said, "Is he coming back to life?"

  "You two dumb late-stage and early-stage Soul Foundation cultivators, listen to me. Even after I undergo rebirth, I will still be at the Dragon Ascension Realm. I won't be able to create much trouble for you. Why don't you just wait for the young master to wake up. He will decide what to do with me," said Devouring Ghost, who was getting anxious.

  He was terrified that these two would destroy this body, wasting all his effort of blending into it. He had already devoured Linggu Haonan's soul, but he would still require some time to complete the fusion between him and the body.

  Duo Ji sank into a short silence before saying, "Fine, I'll believe you for now. But I have to bind this body. I won't give you any chances to play any tricks."

  "Sure, sure, just don't ruin this body," said Devouring Ghost.

  Thus, Duo Ji created an energy chain and shackled Linggu Haonan's body. Meanwhile, after consuming the ten millennia stoneclock milk, Xiang Shaoyun's vitality was recovering unceasingly. However, there were no signs that he was regaining his consciousness, causing Ye Chaomu to grow even more anxious.

  "Big brother, why are you not waking up yet?" Ye Chaomu called out.

  Chapter 332: Transformation

  The ten millennia stoneclock milk would work greatly even on Soul Foundation Realm experts. So long as one was not fully dead, one would be able to recover. However, Xiang Shaoyun was showing no sign that he was waking up even after consuming the ten millennia stoneclock milk. It was very worrying.

  As for why he was still unconscious, it had something to do with Devouring Ghost. Previously, in order to battle Linggu Haonan and the others, he had allowed Devouring Ghost to control his body. With the strength of his body, Devouring Ghost's control was unbearable. Even so, he still did that because the alternative was death.

  Because of that, Devouring Ghost had occupied his body and unleashed the power of a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, which had seriously exhausted the potential hidden in his body. Subsequently, he was seriously injured by the two Dragon Ascension Realm experts, with nearly all his bones broken and nearly half his blood drained from his body. It was a miracle he was still alive.

  If Ye Chaomu had not arrived in time to feed him a drop of ten millennia stoneclock milk, he would have died. Therefore, he wouldn't be able to fully recover anytime soon. Nourished by the ten millennia stoneclock milk, his damaged foundations were being repaired, and his injuries were being healed. However, the exhau
stion to his body and mind made it hard for him to regain consciousness.

  His body was undergoing some sort of transformation, one that was squeezing the potential out of his body. During his childhood, he had soaked in numerous medicinal liquids thanks to his father. The medicinal power had all seeped deeply into his body. During the past two years of cultivation, he had excavated a large portion of the hidden medicinal power within him.

  Toward the end, it was getting harder and harder to force more of the medicinal power out. Devouring Ghost had used his body to battle Emperors, damaging his foundations and pushing his body over the limits. A regular person would be long dead from that, but he had survived thanks to the hidden medicinal power within his body.

  Over nine years of soaking in medicinal liquids during his childhood had allowed the medicinal power to seep into his internal organs and the marrow of his bones. It had been forced out and was now working with the boundless vitality of the ten millennia stoneclock milk, turning into a massive healing power that was working on every inch of Xiang Shaoyun's body.

  As that happened, Xiang Shaoyun's lightning bone was greedily absorbing the power, extending the patch of purple on his spine. Although the growth wasn't large, it was an obvious growth.

  That signified that Xiang Shaoyun's innate purple lightning was becoming stronger. Apart from that, his nine stars and astral cosmos sea were also absorbing the power and growing from it. His meridians and acupoints were enlarging, and his body and limbs were growing tougher.

  It was not a transformation that was purely healing him. Rather, his body was being cleansed, becoming even more perfect. This would only be beneficial for him in his future cultivation.

  Xiang Shaoyun himself was unaware of all the changes. The only thing he felt was an overwhelming exhaustion, and the only thing he wanted was to have a nice sleep. He no longer cared about revenge, his enemies, and cultivation...
