The Monarch of the Nine States - C284

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

In a certain part of the forest, a gigantic stage nine tiger-shaped wild spirit fell onto the ground with a loud bang, raising dust that filled the sky.

The death of this tiger-shaped spirit beast was extremely strange. All the skin and flesh on its body shrank, as if it had been sucked dry of all its blood, causing it to look extremely horrifying.

In front of the tiger shaped spirit beast, there was an elegant youth. The youth had a resolute expression, but there was a trace of tiredness on his face that was difficult to conceal.

“I only need this last bit of Nihility God Fragment to reach the peak of the intermediate stage.” The youth muttered softly as he looked at the corpse of the tiger spirit in front of him.

This youth was Cang Yun.

For the past ten days, he had hunted wild spirit of the ninth step nonstop. Now, he had finally achieved his goal.

After refining the Nihility God Fragment of the tiger spirit, Cang Yun let out a carefree moan. He could clearly feel that the power of the Void God within his body had instantly increased by a large amount, and he had finally reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nihility God Stage.

“However, I’ll have to kill some prehistoric spirit beast before I can continue to level up.” After a short period of excitement, Cang Yun started laughing bitterly, the following difficulty was more than ten times harder than what it was before.

Because not only was the prehistoric spirit beast extremely powerful, it was also extremely difficult to find. Even in the past ten days, Cang Yun had not met one.

He had to go deeper!

Cang Yun focused his gaze, and without any further hesitation, he advanced deeper into the Returning Ruins.

Even though he was already exhausted after ten consecutive days of fighting, he didn’t want to waste any more time. After experiencing how weak he was, his thirst for strength was especially obvious.

The deeper they went into the Returning Ruins, the worse the surrounding environment became. There were mountains, seas, cliffs, and cliffs everywhere. The ancient aura that was emitted from the forest also made people’s hearts palpitate.

In this kind of environment, it was very difficult for any spirit beast to survive.

For half a day, Cang Yun carefully proceeded forward. At the same time, he kept his mental energy spread out, searching for any desolate spirit beast that might appear nearby. This was also the reason why he was so tired.

However, it was not as if he did not reap any benefits. During this period of time, Cang Yun had been using his mental energy, which also resulted in his mental energy becoming much stronger.

Regarding the cultivation of spirit energy, Cang Yun had never pursued it too much. On one hand, it was because he did not have a teacher who trained in the soul, and he only relied on himself to comprehend it, and it was far inferior to how quickly he could improve the martial way. On the other hand, he did not have any skills in spirit, so even if his spirit energy was stronger, it would not be able to display much of its power.

But Cang Yun knew, after he bought the Void God Stage, he would have to grab hold of God’s Soul to cultivate, because he had an extremely high Inherent Skill in this area, he should not waste it for nothing. As long as he cultivated, he would be able to provide him with an extremely strong method.

Returning to the main topic, Cang Yun continued to search in the forest. In the meantime, Cang Yun had encountered quite a few wild spirit of the ninth step, but after killing one and confirming that he could no longer raise the power of the Nihility God, he did not continue to hunt for them.

Right now, what he needed to find was a higher level wild spirit, a prehistoric spirit beast!

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Cang Yun exclaimed. Through the reaction of his mental force, he discovered a powerful aura.

This aura was stronger than the wild spirit that he had encountered before, but Cang Yun was not sure if it was a prehistoric spirit beast or not.

He quickly ran toward the location of the reaction. When he was about to get close, he slowed down and carefully approached it.

“Hiss …!”

A heart palpitating sound came from the forest in front of him. This sound wasn’t unfamiliar to Cang Yun, and it was very easy to distinguish, it should be snake type!

Cang Yun approached once again, but in the next moment, his pupils violently contracted.

In his line of sight, there was indeed a gigantic python. However, the shape of the python was extremely strange because it had nine huge heads!

“Nine heads, Hyacinth! Great Desolate spirit beast, Hyacinth! ” Cang Yun instantly recognized the spirit beast, he was shocked and happy at the same time, surprised that the level nine Hyacinth’s aura was extremely huge, and was at least several times stronger than a normal level nine wild spirit.

The bloodline of a prehistoric spirit beast was extremely precious, it was extremely rare to find one even in the Returning Ruins, especially so for the extremely young prehistoric spirit beast!

Because prehistoric spirit beast were born strong, they were rarely found. It was not easy to find one.

But after a short period of excitement, Cang Yun quickly calmed down and started to carefully size up the Hyacinth.

This Hyacinth had a waist as thick as a water jar, it looked somewhat terrifying, but Cang Yun knew that as a prehistoric spirit beast, it was far more than this big. In other words, this Hyacinth was still in its infancy.

This was not surprising. With the powerful bloodline of the prehistoric spirit beast, as long as it reached adulthood, it was impossible for it to only be at the ninth stage.

Above the Hyacinth’s waist were nine huge and sinister snake heads. Each snake head had sharp fangs, which looked extremely terrifying.

According to the records, every head of Hyacinth were independent existences, they could think on their own and attack on their own. Of course, this was not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing was that because these nine snake heads had their own independent awareness, they were able to cultivate different Concept of martial arts. Furthermore, the Hyacinth s had extremely high innate talent, they were innately sensitive to some Concept of martial arts and could easily control these innate gifts, thus becoming an adult Hyacinth was extremely terrifying.

Lastly, and most importantly, it was said that the Hyacinth’s vitality was extremely tenacious. As long as the nine heads did not die at the same time, it could be reborn.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Cang Yun urgently needed to raise his strength, he would have turned around and left. However, he did not plan to leave right now, because the prehistoric spirit beast was truly too hard to find, and if he gave up on this Hyacinth, it would take a very long time before he would encounter another one.

In the next moment, Cang Yun focused his gaze on the nine snake heads.

He discovered that although the appearance of these nine snake heads were similar, there were still some slight differences.

Two of the snake heads obviously had stronger auras!

Cang Yun knew that this was because these two snake heads had already gained insight into Concept of martial arts, and the remaining seven did not.

One of the serpentine heads was mottled with strange colors, like the pattern of a venomous snake. Occasionally, a droplet of saliva would fall, causing the vegetation on the ground to instantly wither. Clearly, it was highly toxic.

The Concept of martial arts of the poison … Cang Yun understood the head’s ability.

As for the other snake head, it was as bright as fire. When the mouth of the snake opened and closed, it released a distinct wave of scorching heat, which was much easier for Cang Yun to sense than the pure yang power … The Concept of martial arts of fire.

Cang Yun instantly understood. In other words, this Hyacinth had two abilities. One was poison, and the other was fire!

Observing all these, Cang Yun was greatly reassured. Since he knew the abilities of the Hyacinth, as long as he guarded himself well, the probability of victory would increase.

Of course, this was not absolute, at the very least, Cang Yun did not know what level the Hyacinth had reached. However, the threat of fire should be very small, because Cang Yun possessed the pure yang power, so the most important thing he would pay attention to was the poison head!

“Kill!”

With that thought, Cang Yun wanted to kill.

However, the moment her killing intent rose, the Hyacinth immediately sensed it.

With a ‘whoosh’, the Hyacinth’s huge tail swept towards where Cang Yun was hiding. Cang Yun’s expression changed, and he retreated quickly.

Bang!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the ancient tree that Cang Yun was hiding on was instantly snapped at the waist.

Cang Yun’s figure was instantly exposed in front of the Hyacinth.

“Hiss …”

The nine heads of the Hyacinth extended out their tongues at the same time, their cold eyes locking onto Cang Yun, filled with killing intent.

Cang Yun took out the Qingfeng Sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, but he did not make a move because he did not know the specific strength of the Hyacinth.

When the spirit beast and human met, there was no leeway.

Cang Yun did not move, but the Hyacinth moved in an instant. It raised its head high, and then a ball of fire surged towards Cang Yun!

With a swish, the ball of fire streaked across the sky. It was as hot as a miniature sun, and wherever it passed, the air began to distort.

Cang Yun’s eyes congealed, he could see that the Hyacinth’s talent was not ordinary, although the flames were ordinary flames, the temperature was shockingly high, if a normal warrior were to meet it, they would turn into ashes in an instant.

However, Cang Yun was not afraid, he had the pure yang power, so this kind of ordinary flame could not hurt him at all. As long as he blocked the force of the impact, he would be able to break it easily.

Therefore, Cang Yun raised his sword and released the sword concept, instantly releasing a ray of light!

Boom! *

Bang! With a loud sound, the ball of fire was directly split into two, but the remaining force did not decrease, as it became a rain of fire that covered the entire sky, enveloping Cang Yun.

The Hyacinth stood with its head raised, the flame shook slightly, revealing a trace of human-like pride. It had absolute confidence in its flames.

But this time, it was destined to be disappointed.

Because in the midst of the rain of fire, Cang Yun walked out with an indifferent expression. He was completely unharmed, and even his clothes were not damaged in the slightest.

“Hiss …!”

The Hyacinth was stunned, it did not expect this to happen, but immediately flew into a rage.

Because under its gaze, Cang Yun was looking at it with a teasing expression. That deep sense of ridicule was something even it, who had just opened its mind, could clearly feel.

How could a generation of primordial spirit beast endure such treatment?

The Hyacinth immediately roared, and then the multicolored snake head opened its bloody mouth, and a large amount of green liquid poured down like a storm towards Cang Yun’s head!

Cang Yun’s face changed. This time, he did not dare be careless, he had pure yang power to defend against the flames, but the poison had no resistance whatsoever. Furthermore, to snakes, the venom was their most powerful technique.

Above his head, the eerie green poison had weaved into a huge net, blocking almost all of Cang Yun’s escape routes.

It was almost impossible to escape!

In that split-second, Cang Yun thought of something and retracted his Qingfeng Sword. His mental energy instantly surged, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a barrier above his head, firmly aiding him.

Not only that, after Cang Yun used his mind energy, he immediately used the power of the Nihility God to add another line of defense.

Knowing that this was all done, Cang Yun finally relaxed a little.

Tssss! *

One after another, ear-piercing sounds rang out from the Mental Energy barrier. In just a few moments, venom had passed through the barrier, and the mental energy barrier had left behind many heart palpitating corrosive holes.

“What a terrifying poison!”

Cang Yun’s face changed again. Even though he had been prepared for a long time now, the true might of the poison still exceeded his expectations.

However, Cang Yun was glad that he had been prepared. If not, the consequences would be disastrous.

Above his head, after the poison passed through the mental barrier, it once again dripped onto the defense of the source power.

Cang Yun knew that these white smoke were caused by the source power being corroded by the poison. In other words, in order to resist the poison, the source power in his body was currently being consumed at a rapid rate.

While Cang Yun was shocked to realize that his source power was rapidly depleting its strength, the poison that was smeared on it did not show any signs of decreasing, which caused Cang Yun to feel a headache. At this rate, even if his Hyacinth dragged him to death, it would not be able to do much.

“We can’t continue like this!”

Cang Yun thought like this as he quickly thought about how he could resist the poison.

“Eh, why didn’t that fire snake take the opportunity to attack me?”

Suddenly, Cang Yun noticed some abnormal signs. Logically speaking, since Cang Yun had split up, the fire snake head should have taken the chance to attack him, but the reality was the complete opposite. The fire snake head did not have any intention to move, which made Cang Yun shocked and suspicious.

Could it be that the Hyacinth was too arrogant, and did not even bother to do such a thing?

Cang Yun thought, but immediately rejected this idea: “No, there is definitely another crucial point that I did not think of!”

As his thoughts spun at an extreme speed, he suddenly felt a new idea getting bigger and bigger in his mind.

“Venom, flames, the flames burn everything. Naturally, the venom is no exception. As long as there is a sufficiently powerful flame, it can burn away all the poison.” Cang Yun was suddenly enlightened. Although it was just a guess, Cang Yun was 90% sure.

Adding on the method used by the Hyacinth, these nine points had already reached ten points!

“Blaze, I can’t forget it!”

Cang Yun’s lips curled up into a smile, and then, the pure Yang Acupoint within his body suddenly shook, as an extremely vast flame energy erupted from his body.

Tssss! *

The sizzling sound rang out again, and it was even more intense than before. However, this time, it was green smoke that was floating; it was the traces of the poison evaporating!

“Done!”

Cang Yun laughed, then looked at the shocked Hyacinth: “I’ve seen your methods, now it’s time for you to see my methods!”
