Volume 1: Crimson Lotus Temple Chapter 103 Being Eaten

  Luckily, Bai Qi was quick-witted and managed to regain control of the Du'e Jin Zhou, otherwise it would have exposed its true form and attracted even more attention from the surrounding demonic beasts.

  Originally, Bai Qi would not have paid much attention to a single Jue Xuan period demon beast, as it was not a Lian Qi master. Although it had thicker control over Yuan Qi, it did not have any decent Dao techniques. However, the ocean was too vast, and the number of these demon beasts was simply endless. No matter how many Bai Qi's jade symbols there were, they would eventually be depleted.

  Bai Qi saw that the demon beast was ferocious, and before he even took out the demon pill, it had already struck the Du'e Golden Ark flying in mid-air, separating it from the sea surface. In the sky, a group of demon beasts with flesh wings dived down to attack, but Bai Qi's 24 Moon Wheel Sword Marbles flew about, keeping those demon beasts at bay outside the area controlled by the sword marbles.

  The golden boat flipped over in mid-air and fell towards the surface of the sea.

  Bai Qi's sword marbles struck one by one, and a demon beast was beheaded each time. However, this time, there was no blood rain, and those demon beasts all turned into air and disappeared. But on Bai Qi's Moon Wheel Sword Marbles, he clearly felt the sensation of cutting through a physical body.

  "It's an illusion." Zhū Guǒ stuck the hidden air symbol on and said to Bái Qǐ.

  The white rose majestically, what a powerful illusion technique. My swordsmanship must be as fierce as the real battle to break through the illusion. If this illusion is endless and creates such a golden elixir-level monster, my vitality will be exhausted sooner or later.

  Each sword slash consumes as much as a real battle.

  Bai Qi slightly retracted the sword's attack range and raised a "Earthly Annihilation Spirit Seal". The Golden Ferry of Doomsday was instantly enveloped by a blurry aura, Bai Qi suddenly sheathed his sword, and those demonic beasts immediately plunged into the aura, disappearing from sight.

  They look ferocious, but in fact these monsters don't have the real attack power of the Golden Elixir stage. Once they enter the range of the Earthly Fiend's Chaotic Seal, they instantly disintegrate and turn into transparent air, never to appear again.

  Bai Qi, however, heard a distant, muffled roar coming from the vast ocean. It was his own Earthly Fiendish Seal, which had been eroded by the illusion and also caused slight harm to the demon that released the illusion.

  That land evil spirit talisman, apart from being able to wear down the enemy's equipment, can also secretly harm the yin or yang spirits. Even if just a thought is tainted by the evil energy, one must pay a price.

  The monster that was chasing the Golden Ark also rushed to the surface of the sea at this time. The monster was over 30 feet long, its body covered in thick scales, and its tail was full of sharp thorns. On its head, two huge eyes shone brightly with a red light, like flames.

  Bai Qi knew that the beast was also an illusion, so he didn't want to use any more jade talismans. The illusions were endless, and if he couldn't find the source to attack, Bai Qi wouldn't be able to withstand the consumption.

  "Brother Zhan, don't change direction." Bai Qi said, merging the twenty-four sword pellets into one place, transforming into a bright moon. Now he didn't hide too much of his true strength either. The man with his back turned in the bright moon had already drawn out his sword and swung it backhandedly. This swing already contained 50% of the power of the Xianjian Sword Qi. Bai Qi felt that on top of his dark spirit, it was as if he was suppressing a great mountain, then he lifted up the feeling of the great mountain.

  Before, he was just borrowing the power of the sword to mix with his own sword energy, increasing its lethality. This time, however, he directly released the sword energy, which is a force that can instantly kill even Golden Dan strongmen. If not for his condensed Yin Spirit, Bai Qi would also be unable to control it.

  Only the strong Golden Elixir cultivators can barely control this sword energy, and Bai Qi has not cultivated his Yang Spirit, so the suppression of the sword energy on him is also quite severe. The power of the Yin Spirit cannot be used, so it will feel so heavy. Especially when he condenses this sword energy without releasing it, the pressure on the Yin Spirit is even greater.

  A fist-sized demon pill shot out from under the water, heading straight for Du'e Jinzhou. The demon pill was the demon beast's strongest attack, and if it were real, Du'e Jinzhou would be smashed to pieces by the demon pill, and the people inside would hardly survive.

  Bai Qi waited for a long time, and as soon as the demon pellet appeared, the sword energy that Shu Sheng had slashed out from the Moon Wheel Sword Array burst forth, striking the demon pellet right on target. With this one sword strike, the demon beast's entire body exploded, turning into seawater and disappearing without a trace.

  It was just that the sword intent of the Xianjian was not the evil spirit of the earth, and with one sword, the thing controlling the illusion let out a mournful howl, and the Du'e Golden Boat was tossed up again, on the surface of the sea for hundreds of miles, the seawater surged, spraying into the high air.

  Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo both felt a sudden darkness in front of their eyes, almost fainting. The sword energy contained an intense killing intent that was too brutal for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo immediately took out a dan pill each and swallowed it, then began to meditate on the spot. Bai Qi showed no courtesy, directly manipulating the Ferry of Extinction to fly forward rapidly.

  The demon beast manipulating illusions was thoroughly enraged by Bai Qi. That one sword directly wounded its primordial spirit.

  Bai Qi manipulated the golden boat to fly out for more than ten miles, and suddenly a figure burst out of the water, with a knife chopping down on his head.

  In this sword, the fierce and ruthless killing intent has approached the aura of the Exterminating Immortal Sword. However, Bai Qi simply twisted his wrist, cutting down the person with a single slash. The moment the person was cut down, he transformed into a gust of wind and recondensed. Only then did Bai Qi clearly see that the expression of the person who had attacked him was strange, with a bewildered look in his eyes.

  At this time, Zhang Wuji suddenly woke up and shouted in fear: "It's a mirage dragon!"

  In the sea, there is a dragon tribe inhabiting it. Although the range of control is not large, its strength is extraordinary. The dragon tribe has spawned countless variants, and this dragon is a variant born from the fusion of the sea's aura and dragon energy, outside of the nine true dragons.

  This mirage dragon is ever-changing, the living beings who die at the hands of the mirage dragon will have their souls plundered by it. Even just a soul imprint can replicate everything about the deceased being's past life.

  The person who was just beheaded and scattered is a cultivator of Qi who crossed the sea, swallowed by the mirage dragon, and transformed according to memory.

  The person who recondensed, his body and the knife light merged into one place, making a roaring sound like the sea, and charged at Bai Qi again. Bai Qi simply released the Youling calabash, sucking that person in. In the Youling calabash, Gui Shen Jie Yun slashed down with one sword, and that person turned into a puddle of seawater, unable to condense again.

  Bai Qi only felt that the Du'e Jin Zhou he controlled was shaking violently again, and from the boiling sea water, a huge creature burst into the sky. Compared to this Qiong Long, the living beings Bai Qi had seen before could only be considered dust.

  He couldn't even see the entire appearance of the mirage dragon, nor did he dare to observe it with his divine consciousness. The length of this section on the back of the mirage dragon was tens of miles long, and each scale was over a hundred feet in size. Suddenly, Bai Qi saw a gigantic dragon head in the distance, like a mountain, opening its mouth and sucking in the Tong'e Golden Boat into its belly.

  Bai Qi continuously released three Earthly Fiendish Spirit Seals, barely protecting the Ferry of Calamity for the time being. The Ferry of Calamity entered the body of the Mirage Dragon, and Bai Qi and the others didn't see any ordinary esophagus or stomach, but instead crashed into a patch of cloud. The Ferry of Calamity fell headfirst from the clouds, below which was a vast expanse of land, with a city not far away.

  In the city, people were densely populated, coming and going, mostly cultivators. This dragon turtle, judging from its body shape, was probably over a million years old, and it didn't know how many living beings it had swallowed.

  Those souls that were swallowed, inside the dragon's body, evolved into a world of their own. These people had no idea where they came from and continued to cultivate, yearning for immortality just as they did in life.

  The golden boat fell from the rainbow and landed on the ground. Suddenly, a cultivator pointed to the sky and shouted: "Another demon is coming!"

  Bai Qi's face twisted into a bitter smile. In the eyes of these cultivators, his Golden Lotus had transformed into a demonic creature that would devour everyone in the city.

  "Brother Bai, what can be done now!" Zhang Bu also knew at this time that Bai Qi's strength was far superior to his. This time being swallowed by the dragon should have been a dead end, but with Bai Qi around, he didn't know why there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

  "Never mind, you hide inside and don't come out."

  As he spoke, Bai Qi transformed the Du'e Golden Ark into a jade ruler and tossed it into the colorful clouds. The Du'e Golden Ark had undergone his sacrificial refinement, making him its half-owner, but he had been too embarrassed to control it all along. Moreover, with the fusion of the Du'e Golden Ark and the Starry Sky Chessboard Ruler, Bai Qi's control over it became even more effortless.

  Those colorful clouds are transformed by the mirage of the dragon, and in the colorful clouds, everything outside is also invisible.

  Bai Qi swiftly drew out his own Inverse Scale Spear, with the Youling Gourd suspended above his head, and released the Ghostly Qi to charge towards the ground.

  On the ground, hundreds of Taoist soldiers and warriors rose into the air, rushing straight towards Bai Qi.

  Bai Qi took out the Seven Star Fomenter Gun again, and then ignored these attacks, directly urging the Youling Hulu to absorb the alchemists attacking on the ground into the Youling Hulu.

  Those cultivators of Qi were dizzy and swollen-headed. After being sucked into the gourd, they were immediately beheaded by the malevolent spirits.

  In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of cultivators who had rushed over were reduced to just five people. These five individuals were all Golden Dan cultivators, and even the demonic gourd couldn't absorb them in one go.

  His face was filled with boundless joy, if the Mirage Dragon were to release all these illusions, it would not be so easy for him to kill them. Now, inside the Mirage Dragon's belly, it was a heavenly blessing.

  His body fell to the ground, and he directly inserted the inverted scale spear into the ground. The inverted scale spear finally opened its mouth and frantically absorbed it.

  Mirage Dragon is also a real dragon, with an innate fear of the Divine Dragon. The Inverse Scale Spear deliberately releases the aura of the Divine Dragon, suppressing the resistance of the Mirage Dragon's internal mirage energy, and frantically absorbing the dragon blood essence within the Mirage Dragon's body into the spear.

  The Seven Star Demon-Subduing Spear blocked the attack in mid-air, and after the cultivator was sucked into the demon gourd, it flew back to Bai Qi's hand. Holding the spear in his hand, Bai Qi suddenly thought of something.

  I also have the Qin Emperor's Twelve Golden Men, which can only be unsealed with dragon blood. This Qiong Long is a true dragon variant after all, its dragon blood should have some effect.

  In the eyes of those five Golden Elixir cultivators, Bai Qi was a tall and majestic red-haired blue-faced demon with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. The gourd spirit, in their eyes, was an even more terrifying flying demon that could swallow its companions whole with just one opening of its mouth.

  There were still people pouring out of the city, but these five people were slowly backing away.

  In the colorful clouds, demons often fly down, and in this Dragon City, such things happen frequently. Every time, someone comes up to intercept and kill them, and the person who kills them will absorb the demon's power, which is very beneficial for their cultivation boundary. However, such a powerful demon has never been seen before.
