Chapter 710

Underground River

"My injuries have finally healed completely, but the side effects of this secret technique are a little troublesome!"

Slowly getting up, if one looked closely, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with a strange scarlet light, causing Zhuowen to look exceptionally demonic at this moment.

In a month's time, Zhuowen had basically killed all the pythons in the underground river. Now, the underground river was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples at all, and the shore had become a bloody hell.

With so many pythons killed, the resentment produced was extremely terrifying. This resentment accumulated in Zhuowen's body, causing Zhuowen's mind to be filled with thoughts of killing from time to time, which was why his eyes were so bloodshot.

However, Zhuowen's willpower was far stronger than ordinary people. Although the resentment accumulated in his body was very strong, it was forcefully suppressed by Zhuowen.

Bending down, he carried the Demon Suppressing Green Coffin on his shoulder. Instantly, Zhuowen realized that the resentment in his body was being absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Green Coffin like a tidal wave, and the scarlet light in Zhuowen's eyes also slowly receded.

Feeling the resentment in his body dissipating, Zhuowen knew that this resentment had been absorbed by the Blood Demon.

"Kid!

There is a Beast Spirit at the bottom of the underground river. Help me obtain this Beast Spirit. "Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out in Zhuowen's mind.

"Xiao Hei?"

Hearing this voice, Zhuowen's face was filled with joy. He never thought that Xiao Hei would wake up at this moment.

Ever since Xiao Hei had materialized his Armor Spirit in order to save Zhuowen in the Baichuan Marquis' Residence, he had not woken up since then, and Zhuowen had always felt guilty about it.

Now that he saw that Xiao Hei had awakened, Zhuowen was naturally extremely happy.

"This Dragon Lord's vitality has been greatly damaged, and this awakening is only temporary!

This Dragon Lord can sense that there is a Beast Spirit at the bottom of the underground river. If you obtain this Beast Spirit, this Dragon Lord will devour this Beast Spirit, and this Dragon Lord should be able to completely awaken. "

Xiao Hei's voice sounded extremely tired, and his voice became softer and softer.

"Brat!

This Dragon Lord cannot be awake for too long. Remember, you must retrieve that Beast Spirit, otherwise this Dragon Lord can only continue to sleep. "

After saying this, Xiao Hei's voice completely disappeared. Zhuowen knew that Xiao Hei had probably fallen into a deep sleep again.

"Beast Spirit?"

Staring at the river ahead, Zhuowen's eyes flickered. Zhuowen was no stranger to Beast Spirits.

A Beast Spirit was the spirit of a Meta Beast. Meta Beasts that possessed a Beast Spirit were basically at the Fourth Reverend Realm and above. It was just like how a human martial artist would form a Nascent Soul in his dantian when his cultivation reached the Fourth Reverend Realm.

When a Meta Beast's strength reached the Four Supremes Realm, its body would also nurture a Meta Beast Spirit. In fact, this Beast Spirit's function was equivalent to the Nascent Soul of a Four Supremes Realm martial artist. Once the Meta Beast's physical body was destroyed, it could still rely on the Beast Spirit to survive. However, its strength would be greatly reduced, and it would not be able to come into contact with the outside world for a long time.

Without a physical body, the power of a Beast Spirit would continuously decrease over time. Therefore, most Beast Spirits would seal themselves in a remote place and wait for their vitality to recover and rebuild their physical body.

Zhuowen did not expect that there would actually be a Beast Spirit at the bottom of the underground river. If it was not for Xiao Hei's reminder, he would have missed it.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Since the Beast Spirit was extremely important to Xiao Hei, Zhuowen would not sit back and do nothing. With a stomp of his foot, he jumped into the underground river.

The water of the underground river was ink black. After Zhuowen dived into the water, his vision was not very far, and he could only rely on his mental strength to explore his surroundings.

"It's really deep!"

After diving for more than two hours, Zhuowen was shocked to discover that he had not reached the bottom of the river. He had already dived for nearly a thousand meters.

After diving for another hour, Zhuowen finally reached the bottom of the river. Stepping on the soft riverbed, Zhuowen used his mental strength to vigilantly survey his surroundings.

Using his mental strength, Zhuowen was shocked to discover that there were layers of cliffs at the bottom of the riverbed. At the bottom of the cliffs, there was a dilapidated cave entrance. This cave entrance was extremely deep, as if it was bottomless.

"The Beast Spirit should be in the cave entrance."

There was nothing else around the cliffs. Zhuowen knew that the chances of the Beast Spirit being in the cave entrance were very high. Thinking of this, Zhuowen stomped his foot and turned into a shadow as he flew into the cave entrance.

Inside the cave entrance was a narrow tunnel. The tunnel was filled with bumpy grooves, like the skin of a toad. It was extremely ugly.

After walking for about ten minutes, Zhuowen discovered that the tunnel actually curved upwards. With a stomp of his foot, with the buoyancy of the water current, Zhuowen's speed increased by a lot as he floated upwards.

After another ten minutes, the sound of water splashing could be heard. Following that, Zhuowen leaped up and executed his movement skill, landing in a stone cave.

There was not the slightest bit of water flow in this place. Instead, there was air flowing. This made Zhuowen rather surprised that there was such a space at the bottom of the underground river.

"It seems that the Beast Spirit is in there!"

There must be a reason for this abnormality!

Zhuo Wen knew that for there to be such an unsuitable space at the bottom of the underground river, there must be some kind of secret inside.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

As he spoke, Zhuowen flew towards the space in front of him. A white light flashed in front of him, causing Zhuowen's speed to increase by a lot.

When Zhuowen completely arrived at the white light, a strong white light flashed past, causing Zhuowen to involuntarily squint his eyes.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhuowen suddenly discovered that what appeared in front of him was a rather spacious stone hall. In the middle of the stone hall, there were two balls of light floating quietly.

The ball of light on the left had a baby-like figure curled up quietly. The ball of light on the right was not in the shape of a human. Instead, it was in the shape of a tiger or leopard.

"A Nascent Soul and a Beast Spirit?"

Looking at the ball of light in the middle, Zhuowen's eyes lit up, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

A Beast Spirit was naturally of no use to Zhuowen. However, a Nascent Soul was much more beneficial to Zhuowen.

A Nascent Soul contained the powerful energy of a Fourth Revered Martial Artist. If Zhuowen could obtain it, then Zhuowen could use the rich energy of the Nascent Soul to break through to the Ultimate Seven-Wheel Emperor Realm.

"The aura of a Beast Spirit!"

The moment Zhuowen stepped into the stone hall, Xiao Hei's voice rang out in Zhuowen's mind once again. Following that, a black light flashed out from between Zhuowen's brows and turned into a Xiao Hei dog.

At this moment, Xiao Hei's spirit body was rather dim. It was obvious that it was the aftereffect of forcefully materializing the Armor Spirit back then. Until now, it had not fully recovered.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Xiao Hei pounced on the Beast Spirit. There was a thirsty light in its eyes, causing Zhuowen's hair to stand on end.

Xiao Hei's arrival immediately alerted the Beast Spirit. The Beast Spirit in the ball of light suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Xiao Hei who was flying towards it with a ferocious glint in its eyes. A terrifying aura poured out.

"You dare to compete with me in terms of aura? You're courting death!"

Xiao Hei cursed. An even more terrifying aura was released from its small body and instantly suppressed the aura on the Beast Spirit.

Roar!

The moment Xiao Hei released the aura from its body, the Beast Spirit in the ball of light was filled with fear. With a whoosh, it actually fled towards the exit. Xiao Hei's aura was too terrifying. This was definitely a Meta Beast of a higher level than it.

"You're already right in front of me. Do you think you can still escape?"

Xiao Hei laughed coldly. With a wave of its little paw, an ink-black energy surged out and turned into a rope. It tied up the escaping Beast Spirit. Then, Xiao Hei pounced on it ungracefully and opened its mouth to take a bite.

In an instant, the Beast Spirit was swallowed into Xiao Hei's stomach. Xiao Hei's originally dim spirit body became more solid after swallowing the Beast Spirit.

"This Beast Spirit's power is too weak. It's only from the Xuanzun Realm. The energy of this Beast Spirit is too little." Xiao Hei smacked its lips and complained unhappily.

Looking at the shameless Xiao Hei, Zhuowen's face was filled with black lines. However, he was extremely happy. Although Xiao Hei's vitality had not fully recovered, at least it would not fall into a deep sleep after swallowing the Beast Spirit.

"Kid!

Your luck is pretty good. There is actually a Nascent Soul in this stone hall!

However, this Nascent Soul was not too strong when it was alive. It was only from the Xuanzun Realm. "Xiao Hei glanced at the Nascent Soul and lightly said.

Zhuowen nodded. Even if it was only the Nascent Soul of a Xuanzun Realm martial artist, the energy contained within was enough to help Zhuowen break through to the Ultimate Seven Wheel Emperor realm. It was even possible that he could reach a higher level.

If he could smoothly break through to the Ultimate Seven Wheel Emperor realm, then by relying on his spear intent, he wouldn't need to fear Huangfu Wuji.

As for Grand Lily, Zhuowen wasn't too sure. If his guess wasn't wrong, then Grand Lily's cultivation should be around the Ultimate Eight Wheel Emperor realm.

When Grand Lily had chased after Zhuowen, he was afraid that Grand Lily hadn't used its full strength. If Grand Lily had used its full strength, then even Zhuowen would have been in danger.

As he thought of Grand Lily and Huangfu Wuji, Zhuowen's eyes filled with a thick chill. These two people had forced Zhuowen into such a sorry state. He, Zhuowen, would not let this matter rest.

"I must increase my strength as soon as possible!"

Zhuowen knew that if he wanted to settle this debt, then he would have to increase his own strength!

With Zhuowen's current strength, he could definitely enter the top ten rankings of the Azure Emperor proclamation. However, entering the top five would be difficult.

There were only five spots available to enter Jia Shen College. Only the top five geniuses on the Azure Emperor proclamation would be able to obtain a spot.

"Kid!

This Nascent Soul has suffered heavy injuries. It has actually fallen into a coma. Take it and refine it! "

Xiao Hei arrived in front of the Nascent Soul and pulled it out with its small claws. With a wave of its claws, the Nascent Soul was tossed into Zhuowen's hands.

The moment Zhuowen touched the Nascent Soul, he could feel an extremely surging energy within it. This energy far surpassed what an Ultimate Emperor realm cultivator should possess.

"There's only a month left until the Peach Blossom Origin Diagram adventure. I hope that I can thoroughly refine this Nascent Soul in this month!"

Zhuowen had nearly a hundred marks on his body. He knew that entering the top 655 rankings of the Azure Emperor proclamation shouldn't be a problem, so he didn't plan on competing with the other geniuses.

After all, if he went out, Huangfu Wuji and Grand Lily would probably catch wind of this. Although his injuries were healed, his strength was still insufficient. There was no need for him to go out and attract attention.
