Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1451: Atavism

Snake Tail Venerable frowned, how could he have amnesia and still know how to ask for benefits?

Before losing his memory, how slick must this guy have been?

After considering briefly, to avoid further complications, he opened his mouth, revealing two sharp snake fangs.

He squeezed the jade bottle onto one of the fangs, allowing a trace of purple viscous liquid to drip into the jade bottle.

"This is my venom; although it’s only a drop, it can kill any strong being below the Heavenly Human Five Declines."

"Take it!"

Jiang Fan grabbed it, his heart pounding wildly.

He just wanted to extort some benefits casually; how could he have imagined the other party would give out such a treasure!

He was an expert in using poison!

Beside him, the Demon Monarch watched with eyes full of heat.

This is the Venerable’s life essence venom, a great Killing Device.

Even he hadn’t received such a reward, yet the Venerable gave it to Wang Chongxiao?

This made the Demon Monarch feel envious and at the same time incomprehensible.

At this moment, a voice reached his ear from the Venerable.

"You timely discovered this person, your merit is undeniable, that drop of venom will be rewarded to you."

Only then did the Demon Monarch suddenly realize.

The venom was meant for him.

It’s just that he needs to find a way to get it from Jiang Fan.

His eyes flashed with a cold and fierce expression; if so, then he must keep a close watch on Wang Chongxiao.

"Wang Chongxiao, follow me."

Gaining the benefit, Jiang Fan naturally hesitated no longer and immediately followed the Demon Monarch out of the cavern.

On the way.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed, and he probed, "Senior, I forgot how to address your excellency and you."

The Demon Monarch glanced at the Heavenly Thunder Stone on Jiang Fan’s chest, and smiled kindly:

"Our Venerable is the master of Spiritual Snake Mountain, the Black Dragon Venerable."

"As for me, you may call me Soul Shadow Venerable."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, cupping his hands, "Senior Soul Shadow, why is everyone going to the interlayer world, but your excellency doesn’t?"

It makes no sense for Golden Scale Venerable and the strong from various states to be fighting to the death in the interlayer world.

Even the Great Wine Sacrifice is stationed in the interlayer world.

Yet the Black Dragon Venerable is resting peacefully in the cavern.

How could the strong from various states be willing?

Soul Shadow Venerable pondered a moment before speaking, "Our Black Dragon Venerable is currently transforming into a dragon and is not convenient to act."

Hmm?

Transforming into a dragon?

Jiang Fan was utterly confused.

Soul Shadow Venerable patiently explained, "Martial Artists of different schools enter the Great Sage Realm in different ways."

"Moreover, between different clans?"

"Your Human Clan emphasizes cultivating merit to enter the Sage, while our Demon Race emphasizes ancestral empowerment."

Jiang Fan pondered.

He recalled what Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva said, that Buddhist Practitioners entering the Buddha Venerable Realm do not focus on establishing merit.

Rather, they focus on the creation for all beings.

For instance, "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture" calming resentful spirits is a kind of creation for all beings.

Yet, in Jiang Fan’s view, it is still a form of merit.

Because after he personally applied the "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture," merit descended from the heavens.

Only, establishing merit gains the faith of the living,

While "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture" gains the faith of Dead Spirits.

Both reach the same goal by different means.

But the Demon Race entering the Great Sage Realm is indeed a completely different path.

It is ancestral empowerment.

So-called ancestral empowerment should be continuously raising the purity of the bloodline within, ultimately reaching the level of the ancestral True Spirit.

Thus, succeeding in ancestral empowerment, transforming into a True Spirit.

The Black Dragon Venerable has half his body regressing into a snake tail; it must be at a crucial point of ancestral empowerment.

Once the upper body also regresses, he can become a True Spirit in the Great Sage Realm!

Jiang Fan nodded slowly.

This trip to the Demon Continent was quite eye-opening.

Soul Shadow Venerable said, "Once in the interlayer world, kill the enemy well."

"After discussions among the demons of Spiritual Snake Mountain, it’s decided to bring out the mountain’s treasure, Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood as a reward."

"Whoever has the most merit will have a chance to get Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood."

"This blood can enhance the Bloodline Power of all demons."

"Our master, if he obtains enough of the Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood, will have the opportunity to complete the final ancestral empowerment, completely transforming into a dragon."

"At that time, you and I shall reach dazzling success."

He painted a grand vision for Jiang Fan,

Ensuring that Jiang Fan would become fervent and rush towards the Hell Creatures.

Then rationally die among them.

Oh?

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment, enhancing the bloodline power of all demons?

The Heavenly Fox Bloodline of Fairy Yun Shang, the Soaring Snake Bloodline within Liu Li, the unknown bloodline of the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, and the bloodlines of the Little Kirin, the Rebellious Guy, the Little Tiger, Biluo Huangquan, the Slave Heart Demon Emperor, Chuyue Fairy, and the West Sea Crown Prince, can all be enhanced?

This Ten Thousand Spirits Ancestor Blood is a great treasure!

He immediately felt a surge of enthusiasm and said, "Senior, rest assured, your subordinate will dedicate everything, even to the point of giving my life for the master!"

Soul Shadow Venerable touched his nose.

Is the pie he drew really so enticing?

Not long after.

In the center of the Spirit Snake Mountain Range.

A gigantic fissure nearly split the mountain range in two.

An overwhelming Yin Qi erupted from within the mountains, shrouding the area as if it were night.

As soon as he stepped inside, the Yin Qi drilled into his Dantian through his pores, attempting to envelop his Nascent Soul, obstructing the flow of energy.

Jiang Fan circulated his Nascent Soul Power, barely breaking it apart.

He was secretly astonished; the density of Yin Qi here was even stronger than that of the underground world of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

For those not in the Nascent Soul Realm, it would be difficult to linger for long.

At this moment.

Three enormous creatures as black as ink charged out from the fissure.

Two of them were Nine Aperture Nascent Soul level.

In the middle, there was even one at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Not to mention Jiang Fan, even Soul Shadow Venerable was startled, exclaiming, "A Hell Creature at the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

"How is this possible?"

Ten days ago, even when Jinlin Venerate and Ice Heart Venerate joined forces, they couldn’t stop the massive tide of hell creatures from charging out.

That time caused huge casualties.

Spirit Snake Mountain paid a heavy price in casualties to kill all the hell creatures that poured out.

But that time, no hell creatures at the Divinity Transformation Realm emerged.

And now a Divinity Transformation Realm creature has appeared!

Could it be that the dangers in the interlayer world have worsened with the reinforcements from the experts of various states?

Soul Shadow Venerable instinctively wanted to retreat, but after a thought, he said, "Wang Chongxiao, I will hold off this Divinity Transformation Realm hell creature."

"The two Nine Aperture Nascent Souls are up to you, don’t let the master down."

Jiang Fan sneered inwardly.

For a martial artist of the human clan with Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul cultivation, even facing one Nine Aperture Nascent Soul hell creature would be a matter of life and death.

Facing two, there’s no possible path of survival.

Soul Shadow Venerable wants to use the hell creatures to kill him!

He must be planning to seize the venom in his Heavenly Thunder Stone after his death, right?

He pretended to show a look of panic and said, "But I forgot the Cultivation Technique, with only the venom, it’s a sure death."

Soul Shadow Venerable pretended not to hear, rushed forward, blocking the Divinity Transformation Realm hell creature with the tiger-like silhouette and engaged it elsewhere, leaving Jiang Fan no chance to call for help.

Jiang Fan could not ask for more.

This was a good chance to shake off Soul Shadow Venerable.

Roar!

A hell creature, thousands of feet long, resembling a ferocious worm, came howling towards Jiang Fan.

Without a second thought, Jiang Fan unleashed a Soul-shocking Stab.

In an instant.

The soul of the hell creature was pierced, writhing in agony on the spot.

"Go!" Jiang Fan joined his fingers to form a sword; the Purple Thunder unsheathed.

Purple lightning gathered around the sword body, transforming into a dazzling sword shadow that sliced through its head.

The other hell creature, seeing Jiang Fan’s ferocity, was so frightened that it tried to flee.

"Cloud Shadow!"

Jiang Fan swiftly caught up, leaping onto its back.

Gathering a point of Thunderbolt Origin in his palm, he struck it.

With a puff.

The hell creature’s head was blown into a blood mist by the Thunderbolt Origin on the spot.

Boom—

The massive body of the hell creature fell to the ground with a thunderous crash.

Jiang Fan, expressionless, summoned back the Purple Thunder.

Just as he was about to move swiftly towards the fissure.

A slightly surprised ethereal voice drifted into his ear.

"Such domineering techniques."

Jiang Fan was startled, someone was nearby, and he hadn’t sensed it at all?

Turning his head, he saw someone standing there—someone who looked like a perfect beauty from a dual world.

Her ink-black dress floated gracefully, her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her fair face was carved with features of breathtaking beauty.

Even though the women around him were all considered beauties.

The woman before his eyes still gave him a heart-stirring sensation of beauty.

What shocked Jiang Fan the most.

Was that this woman had a Divine Ring at the back of her head.

With no less than five Flame Marks on it!
