Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Somewhat Embarrassed
Lin Yi sharply inhaled a cold breath; his clothes were completely soaked, and his body was covered in mud and sand, making him look like a mud monkey, somewhat bedraggled.
“It seems there’s danger.”
The expression on Lin Yi’s face was extremely somber; he hadn’t expected to encounter such peril shortly after arriving in the Demon Realm.
He channeled the “Five Elements Secret Tome”, starting to mobilize the Power of the Five Elements as he slowly moved through the void.
However, the danger this time wasn’t merely from the surroundings; Lin Yi felt as though something was chasing him from behind.
Lin Yi looked back and was startled to see a huge crocodile fiercely pursuing him, refusing to let go.
...
“This is a Black Jiao Snake, not only is its venom powerful, but its body is enormous, possessing immense strength and quick speed. Even a martial artist at the Foundation Establishment Stage, if caught by one of its claws, would probably be seriously injured!”
Lin Yi was shaken, cursing inwardly, “Why are there so many snakes in this place, and moreover, they’re all from the Demon Race!”
“Roar!”
The Black Jiao Snake bellowed furiously as it suddenly shot forward, biting towards Lin Yi’s neck with lightning speed, too fast for anyone to react.
The mouth of the Black Jiao Snake, with its gaping jaws, looked extremely ferocious, and it emitted a nauseating stench.
“Hmph!”
Seeing the Black Jiao Snake biting towards him, Lin Yi was calm and composed. He simply extended a finger and flicked it casually.
“Boom!”
A muffled sound rang out as a golden light shot forth from his fingertip, instantly shattering the Black Jiao Snake’s head; the Golden Needle then viciously pierced into the snake’s brain, a violent force surged into its mind, destroying all of its brain matter.
A one-strike kill, Lin Yi’s strength had indeed become much more formidable than before. Although he was only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, his current strength was comparable to a martial artist at the Eighth Layer peak of Qi Cultivation.
“Phew…”
Watching the dead Black Jiao Snake, Lin Yi took a long breath of relief.
His attack had been formed using Spiritual Power, which was far stronger than any of his normal moves.
“The temperature here is too low; I need to leave this accursed place as soon as possible,” Lin Yi frowned and pondered.
Although his strength had greatly improved from before, he still needed to be cautious, especially since he was in the Demon Realm where one could be ambushed at any moment.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
At that moment, a cold wind suddenly rose from all around, followed by swarms of black bats rushing out from every direction, swooping down to attack Lin Yi.
Lin Yi’s heart chilled as he crouched slightly and then leaped up; his body spun in mid-air like a top, rapidly rotating.
The air around Lin Yi’s body twisted, making cracking sounds. As he spun, air vortices formed, rushing towards him.
Lin Yi condensed Air Knives out of the air vortices and directly slashed at the black bats, immediately killing a swarm of them as blood rained down, spattering on the ground.
“These bats seem to be very afraid of the Air Knife,” Lin Yi muttered to himself, speculating.
Although these bats were many times stronger than Lin Yi, they were quite fearful of the Air Knife, which was why they had managed to survive in the Demon Realm.
These bats didn’t seem to have Spiritual Wisdom; they relied solely on instinct to seek food, attacking prey on sight.
Lin Yi’s figure flickered rapidly in mid-air, dodging while simultaneously swinging out a series of incomparably sharp Air Blades, slicing through the surroundings.
“Ssssss…”
The black bats were easily sliced in half by the Air Blade, splattering blood everywhere and staining a large swath of the swamp red.
Soon after, the surrounding area finally quieted down, and other than some rotting trees, there was nothing else in existence.
Lin Yi stood in the middle of the swamp, took a deep breath, and washed the filth from his body before changing into a clean set of clothes and then walked out of the swamp.
After he left the swamp, Lin Yi discovered a mountain valley in front of him.
The valley wasn’t very high, but it was quite vast, a full thirty zhang tall, with a huge waterfall crashing down from the middle of the mountain, soaking the entire valley.
The airflow here was extremely chaotic, filled with all kinds of miasma that made one nauseous and difficult to endure.
“What a strange place, indeed.”
Lin Yi frowned and shook his head, pondering secretly in his heart.
The atmosphere of this place was too oppressive, nearly like Hell on Earth. He even wondered if it was impossible to survive in this hellish place, for one would eventually suffocate.
On the ground of the valley, there was a huge circular pit, emitting wisps of black smoke, resembling a gigantic furnace that sent waves of heat rushing towards him.
“Is this the Earth Fire Pond?” Lin Yi asked, staring at the pit.
As Lin Yi approached the Earth Fire Pond, he saw countless black bats loitering around, covered in scale armor, extremely ugly in appearance, yet very powerful, all having reached the Seventh Layer of cultivation.
Near the Earth Fire Pond, there were also several corpses; all these bodies belonged to the Demon Clan, all at the Eighth Layer of cultivation and had been dead for a long time. Their physical bodies had withered into a pile of white bones, appearing extremely terrifying.
Lin Yi was amazed by the strength of these demon creatures, having lived here for a thousand years.
He wondered how the Demon Clan managed to cultivate and endure for a thousand years, unwilling to leave this place.
“Could it be the heritage left by the ancestors of these demon creatures?” Lin Yi thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“If that’s the case, it would be incredibly valuable, maybe I could even get some Spirit Grass,” Lin Yi said excitably.
The strength of these demon creatures was immense; if he could get a piece of Spirit Grass, he would be able to refine Elixirs and increase his Cultivation.
“Let’s go, let’s not waste the bodies of these demon creatures.”
Having said that, Lin Yi prepared to collect all of the bodies of the demon creatures.
However, just as Lin Yi was about to gather all the bodies of the demon creatures, suddenly, a series of roars emanated from the Earth Fire Pond.
The corpses of the demon creatures trembled upon hearing the roars, seeming somewhat afraid.
“No way, can the corpses actually be scared?” Lin Yi looked at the bodies of the demon creatures with a baffled face, feeling quite helpless in his heart.
“Roar! Roar!”
The roaring became louder and louder, and then demonic flames burst through the ground, setting it ablaze, making the air around the Earth Fire Pond scorchingly hot.
These demonic flames could burn the ground to ashes, showing just how powerful the demon creatures were!
Seeing the abnormality of the Earth Fire Pond, Lin Yi was greatly alarmed and hurriedly ran away, not daring to stay a moment longer.
The demonic flames were incredibly formidable, and even Lin Yi didn’t dare to confront them head-on.
What do you think?
