Chapitre 113: Chapter 113: The Fire Demon Clan!
Jiang Yun looked around, extending his soul power in all directions. After ensuring there were no abnormalities, he spoke slowly.
"Alright!"
Zi Yan had no objections to this. Medusa, seeing the current situation, decided to adopt the mindset of "making the best of where you end up." Jiang Yun had already broadened her horizons, and as a strong queen, she wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could enhance her own power; her snake-man tribe was still waiting for her!
Having made up their minds, Jiang Yun dismantled the surrounding formations. The three of them didn't linger and transformed into streaks of light, speedily shooting off into the distance. However, for the sake of caution, they chose to travel low and Jiang Yun extended his soul barrier to conceal their presence.
As they traveled at full speed, the heavy mountain ranges were left behind. However, as they moved forward, Zi Yan and Medusa's brows furrowed more and more.
Compared to the Dou Qi continent, the environment here was much more rigid. The space force, which was very active on the Dou Qi continent, became unusually stagnant here.
The rules of heaven and earth in this place were extremely chaotic. Fighting here would likely consume more energy than fighting on the Dou Qi continent. Moreover, perhaps due to too many battles among powerful beings, the energy activity here was extremely suppressed, and there was an omnipresent sense of oppression. This made Zi Yan and Medusa, who were used to the Dou Qi continent, feel entirely uncomfortable.
"This place is so desolate!"
While flying, Medusa looked at the dark red land in the distance and felt immense pressure.
This piece of heaven and earth was filled with an ancient and vast aura; even the broken remnants of the setting sun in the sky emitted only weak light.
On the ground, countless ravines stretched endlessly like abysses, tearing the land apart. The endless darkness within these ravines was horrifying.
This heaven and earth seemed as if several terrible gigantic hands had crushed it, destroying all life and order within it.
Is this the impact caused by high-level combatants? Even after tens of thousands of years, the remnants are still here. It's truly terrifying and yet admirable.
"If there's no life here, this trip might be in vain!" Zi Yan withdrew her gaze and looked back at Jiang Yun, speaking in a deep tone.
"Yeah!" Jiang Yun faintly nodded with furrowed brows. Indeed, if life could not be born here, this shattered continent wouldn't have any value for training, and he would have to find a way back.
"Scatter!"
At this moment, Jiang Yun suddenly shouted. Zi Yan and Medusa immediately focused their senses and without hesitation believed Jiang Yun's words, splitting apart instantly.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, the ground shattered, and scorching lava burst into the sky. At the same time, a terrifying dark red figure emerged from the magma, extending a giant hand.
"Bang!" The heavy force struck the ground with a dull sound, as if sinking the earth itself.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, a humanoid figure with twin horns and a body seemingly made of magma slowly appeared.
"What is that?"
"Roar!"
Before the three could react, the dark figure let out a roar and transformed into a residual shadow, rushing toward Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan, be careful!"
Sensing the opponent's early-stage Tongtian level aura, Jiang Yun's expression changed slightly. He shouted towards Zi Yan, while using his body technique to swiftly close the distance to her.
"How dare you undervalue me!" Angered by the approaching enemy, Zi Yan's face turned furious. Dense purple light erupted from her body.
In the next moment, a set of purple tight-fitting dragon-scale armor adhered to her delicate body, and a long purple spear appeared in her hand.
"Coiling Dragon Spear Technique!" With a shout, the spear danced, glowing brightly as Zi Yan threw all her strength into a fierce thrust towards the opponent.
"Boom!"
In the sky, two dazzling lights collided, carrying a terrifying energy storm that swept across the sky.
"Ugh!" A muffled groan sounded, and with the dispersing energy, Zi Yan, holding her purple crystal spear, staggered backward several dozen feet.
On the opposite side, the dark red figure also trembled, taking several steps back. With each step, the surrounding air was compressed by the terrifying force.
"Crimson Flame Palm!"
Accompanied by Jiang Yun's light shout, fiery red spiritual energy condensed in his palm, shooting out and tearing through the air. In an instant, it crossed the space and struck the dark figure.
Unable to react in time, the figure was suddenly hit by the flaming hand, crashing into the ground. Still unwilling to let it go, Jiang Yun gathered his fire energy at his fingertips. With a flick, he released it, shooting it toward the opponent.
"Flaming Spin Finger!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Countless beams of violent light, resembling a meteor shower, descended from the sky. The terrifying range of the attack covered the dark figure's entire body!
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The terrifying explosions echoed throughout heaven and earth. Amidst the ensuing dust and smoke, there was no sign of movement from below, as if the opponent had been annihilated.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a roar emerged. From within the smoke, a fiery red light gathered, and terrifying energy was forming.
"Boom—"
At the critical moment, a terrifying nine-color serpent shadow slammed down—a colossal, nearly hundred-foot-long snake tail swept across, carrying devastating power and a terrifying sonic boom, smashing into the opponent.
The terrifying explosive sound created a massive crater nearly a thousand feet in size on the dark red ground.
Watching Medusa quietly retract her serpent shadow, Jiang Yun nodded with a smile. He scanned the ground with his soul power and, after confirming there was no more movement from the opponent, dispersed the energy in his palm.
"Bah, bah, where is that guy? Great-aunt is going to tear it apart!"
At that moment, the furious Zi Yan stormed over, emitting a ferocious aura.
It happened too quickly: from Zi Yan being knocked away, to the opponent being taken down by Jiang Yun and Medusa's joint effort. Zi Yan's desire for revenge remained unfulfilled.
"That guy has already been dealt with!" Jiang Yun said, sensing the turbulent energy within Zi Yan's body. He took out a grade-five healing pill and fed it to her.
"What, it's already dead!" Hearing that the culprit was already dead, Zi Yan shouted furiously, but still took the pill into her mouth quickly, before grumbling, "Lucky it, dammit. Great-aunt has never suffered such a loss!"
"Hey, what do you mean by that!" Noticing Medusa's disdainful sneer, Zi Yan pursued her quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun rubbed his brows in frustration but followed the two women.
"What a strange creature!"
Upon landing, Jiang Yun noticed that Zi Yan and Medusa had calmed down, both frowning as they examined the dark red figure in the pit. Zi Yan had just voiced her doubt.
"This isn't a magical beast?" With tightly knit brows, Medusa expressed her own judgment.
Jiang Yun looked at the figure in the pit. The once terrifying dark figure now lay lifeless on the ground, emitting a peculiar aura.
This aura felt both familiar and strange!
With a light touch from Jiang Yun's finger, a pure white flame shot out. The corpse was incinerated in an instant, and as time passed, a black and white crystal appeared in front of the three.
"What is this...?"
The three of them looked at the object in Jiang Yun's palm with curiosity. It was a diamond-shaped crystal, about the size of a thumb, emitting sparkling light and dense energy mist.
"How odd!"
Jiang Yun frowned at the object in his palm. The sense of familiarity grew stronger. Then, realizing something, he activated his technique. Two streams of pure but contrasting energy flowed into his body.
As the energy circulated through his meridians, it gradually dispersed throughout his body, strengthening his muscles, bones, and cells.
His internal power grew stronger!
"Is that how it works?"
After a cycle of operation, Jiang Yun spoke in comprehension, looking at the slightly smaller crystal in his palm.
"What? What is it?" Eager to know, Zi Yan pressed Jiang Yun impatiently, "Little Yun, what is this?"
From the side, Medusa also cast a curious glance!
"This is an energy core, containing highly pure energy. By operating a technique, you can absorb it and quickly enhance your power!" Jiang Yun briefly explained the use of the energy core.
Such things were rare on the Dou Qi continent, unlike in the Grand World, where Supreme Spiritual Liquid served as a currency for transactions.
"Then, can we..."
Zi Yan and Medusa's eyes lit up as they glanced at the surrounding land. They were currently in their 'weakened' state, and if these objects could help them rapidly increase their power, it would be a blessing!
"There must be many of these things hidden in this land, but we must be careful. These creatures are quite strong, so let's avoid unnecessary risks. Also, don't absorb an energy core on your own. I will handle them and set up formations to facilitate quicker absorption."
Jiang Yun nodded, agreeing with the two women's thoughts. The appearance of the dark creature had triggered his memory, reminding him of why it felt so familiar.
The Fire Demon Clan!
The Fire Demon Clan was one of the thirty-two major clans of the outer realms, with the Sky Demon Emperor residing within it. It now seemed that the main opponent of his Unquenchable Fire Body had always been the Fire Demon Clan.
Their fall on this land, coupled with the passage of time, had mutated their corpses into such entities. And since both demonic energy and spiritual energy coexisted here, the energy cores contained both pure spiritual energy and domineering demonic energy.
Since Zi Yan and Medusa couldn't absorb demonic energy, Jiang Yun had warned them not to absorb the energy cores by themselves to avoid complications.
"Alright!"
With Jiang Yun's simpler and more efficient approach, Zi Yan and Medusa had no reason to object and agreed immediately.
Afterward, the three quickly traversed further into the depths.
"Roar—"
Sure enough, as if entering a specific area, they encountered many powerful beings that had fallen. Their undestroyed corpses had transformed into such entities, and with Jiang Yun's team working in perfect coordination, even those at the Tongtian level couldn't withstand their hunts!
Soon, Jiang Yun and his team had collected a considerable amount of energy cores. On a hill, they quietly observed the pile of over a hundred energy cores on the ground.
"This should be enough to restore some of our strength," Jiang Yun said to Zi Yan and Medusa. "Next, I need to process these energy cores and set up a formation. Get ready!"
With those words, Jiang Yun sat beside the pile, black and white flames enveloping the energy cores. In a place unseen by the two women, black threads of demonic energy flowed from the flames toward Jiang Yun.
Feeling the demonic energy entering his body, Jiang Yun, without hesitation, directed it toward the Saint Heaven Demon Flame in his Dantian.
Although the Evil Spirit Clan could innately cultivate both demonic and spiritual energy, Jiang Yun was currently following the cultivation systems of the Grand World, so it was best not to take unnecessary risks.
After refining the cores and setting up a formation, Jiang Yun turned to Medusa and Zi Yan and said softly, "It's ready!"
"Finally!" Zi Yan exclaimed with excitement, then glared at Medusa with a hint of challenge, "This time, I'm definitely reaching the Transforming Heaven Realm!"
Zi Yan had always been bothered by the fact that both Jiang Yun and Medusa were in the Transforming Heaven Realm while she was only in the Fusion Heaven Realm, almost falling short of it. It was infuriating to her.
"Hmph!" Medusa scoffed without holding back. Licking her red lips seductively, she replied, "Transforming Heaven Realm? This time, I'm aiming for the Reaching Heaven Realm."
"Oh~~~, I almost forgot, little sister, you're still some way from the Reaching Heaven Realm!"
"You!" Medusa's words left Zi Yan exasperated. She wanted to argue further but found that Medusa had already sat down quietly to cultivate.
Annoyed by Medusa's provocation, Zi Yan shot her an angry glare before sitting down to cultivate as well.
Sensing the two women calming down, Jiang Yun stroked his chin, thinking that maybe having Medusa around to stimulate Zi Yan wasn't a bad idea.
Shaking his head, he too joined the cultivation process. There were still many unexplored areas on this battlefield, and he needed more strength.
On a vast, dark red rock.
A spatial rift abruptly appeared. Following it, beams of light descended from the sky.
When the light beams dissipated, several teams materialized out of thin air. Within moments, dozens of teams had gathered on the massive rock.
Without exception, all of them were wearing uniform attire, clearly from different forces.
