Chapter 160 9 Infant Demon Lord
Chapter 160 9 Infant Demon Lord
The sea was filled with raging waves, the water was surging and roaring, one after another, incredibly huge snake heads poked out of the sea, parting the magnificent waves like mountain peaks and raising nine snake-like heads, some mighty, some ferocious, some violent, all of which exuded a terrifying aura.
It has nine heads and a human body, all four limbs are complete, with six toes on its hands and feet, sharp claws, webbed feet between the palms and toes, and its back is covered with sharp fins. Its strong tendons and muscles are like winding mountains, and its body is covered with scales that blend green and purple, like cast steel or iron, shining with metallic luster in the sun. It is beautiful yet dangerous.
When the monster stood up and emerged from the sea, it was several thousand meters high, and the sea level was not even up to its knees. The sea breeze whistled over its majestic body, bringing up a cloud of mist, creating a shocking scene.
The so-called islands are nothing more than parts of its body sleeping in the sea. In front of this vast and mysterious ocean, human beings are so small and powerless.
Cheng Bai retreated and rose again and again, and was able to look up at the other side's majestic magnificence. He was secretly shocked and said, "Could it be that the Hydra monster and other monsters have cultivated to become saints? It is bigger than Master Qiongqi, so could it be more powerful? I am so unlucky to encounter a tough guy as soon as I arrived."
However, there was something unexpected. The weather was originally sunny, but suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, darkness fell, strong winds and thunder and lightning intertwined, and the sky began to boil like a pot.
It wasn't a monster going crazy; a similar scene had been seen once before.
Cheng Bai couldn't help but curse inwardly, "God has sent me such an unexpected disaster. This guy is facing a thunder tribulation. Isn't it implicated by me? No wonder those people are trying so hard to escape."
The thunderclouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The thunder caused by the Four Symbols Cauldron was no match for this. Cheng Bai hurriedly activated the Cloud Piercing Shuttle and moved away from the range of the thunderstorm as quickly as possible.
But escaping is not so easy. Lightning covers an area of more than 3,000 miles, forming a shocking electric grid that covers the sea surface tightly. Any bright lightning can stretch for hundreds of miles and cross the sky.
The nine-headed monster on the sea surface roared like a baby crying, the sound shaking all directions, and exploded simultaneously with thunder and lightning, fighting against the will of heaven with earth-shaking power.
The first bolt of thunder struck from the sky, as red as blood, illuminating the entire sky, as if it would burn the entire world to ashes.
The nine-headed monster has a high level of cultivation, and he silently practices profound skills. His body is filled with purple mist, like purple air coming from the east, containing endless vitality and power, and emitting terrifying pressure like a mountain or a prison.
Facing the severe punishment from heaven, it resolutely swung its fist to meet the attack. The surrounding purple energy surged crazily and gathered on its fist to form a solid shield, which powerfully dispersed the bloody electric light, causing sparks to fly everywhere. The giant fist was immediately covered in blood and its skin and flesh were torn apart.
Cheng Bai pushed the Cloud Piercing Shuttle to its limit, running at a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound, but not faster than light. He thought, "The speed of this magic weapon is not as fast as my own instantaneous burst. Otherwise, I should just carry it and run."
Just as he was planning, a wave of blood-red lightning that was scattered by the nine-headed monster's fist flew towards him. He couldn't dodge it in time and it hit him hard. His spiritual shield was broken on the spot.
So far, I have only encountered a few opponents who have the strength to destroy the spiritual shield. There is one more in front of me, and he is only the residual power.
Fortunately, the Thunder Fury Armor that Cheng Bai was wearing had a very high resistance to lightning, but it still hit him hard and made him stagger and fall off the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.
Some of the monks who had fled far away looked back and saw clearly.
One of them sneered and said, "There was an unlucky guy who ran too slowly and was hit by Jiuying's thunder tribulation. He died on the spot. I don't know which sect he was from."
Another said: "Duanmu Qi, please stop gossiping about others. We are not out of danger yet."
Duanmu Qi said, "Zhen Yizhe, you have come all the way to the North Sea, have you found the legendary red gold?"
Zhen Yizhe shook his head and said, "I have never seen it. The island pointed to by the Immortal Gold Treasure Map is clearly a fraud. Fortunately, the crisis was discovered in time. I wonder who is so wicked to spread rumors. Could it be that they want to lure all the elite disciples of the nine sects and ten schools here and give them to the Nine Infants Demon Lord as cannon fodder?"
An older monk said, "We must report this matter to our master, investigate it thoroughly, and eradicate the despicable villains."
Zhen Yizhe hurriedly said, "Brother A Pu, we are upright disciples, please don't say such harsh words, we must bring him to justice."
A Pu smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, what you said makes sense. Coming from the Nanyue Sword School, he is indeed a modest gentleman, a role model for our generation."
Zhen Yizhe praised him, "Brother Apu is from the Xiyu Sword Sect, which is well-known in the Western Mangtuo Continent. It is the leader of the famous chivalrous men. We all look up to them."
One monk laughed and said, "Stop flattering each other like that. Sister Yao Shuang, who was standing next to me, got goosebumps when she heard it."
Yao Shuang covered her mouth with an awkward smile and said quickly, "Senior Brother Wang Xiongwu, you are kidding me. I have never seen such a big scene before and I was just scared."
Wang Xiongwu let the magic boat fly steadily, and did not forget to keep a close eye on the thunder tribulation that shook the heavens and the earth. He said in horror: "In just a hundred breaths, it has survived 36 red thunders. It was not killed, and there are more powerful ones to come. Jiuying's thunder tribulation is extraordinary and rare in the world."
The sky was covered with thunderclouds, which were tinged with green. The clouds showed many distorted faces. The atmosphere was weird, and there was an eerie and depressing feeling that was creepy.
The monk with low cultivation level trembled all over unconsciously, as if time around him had frozen. There was no wind, no rain, and it was as quiet and heavy as death.
The leader of the monks riding the Flame Dragon Flying Armor turned around and said in surprise, "The man who was struck by lightning just now is not dead, he is actually flying again."
Duanmu Qi found it incredible and questioned, "Senior Brother Xu Buwei is very observant. This thunderbolt is so powerful that even if a Sanxian in the fifth level of Nirvana was touched by it, his body would be shattered and his soul would be scattered. Could it be that he didn't even hit him?"
The lightning in the sky turned golden, stretching for thousands of miles, showing the power of heaven and making the earth and ocean tremble.
Xu Buwei did not dare to underestimate it, and said in a deep voice: "He was probably stunned and fell by the thunder. We may not be so lucky. Don't go and see. It is a waste of energy to maintain the sound transmission while moving at high speed. Everyone's life is important. Let's go as far as we can." As he spoke, he also believed that the aftermath of the thunder did not hit anyone.
Cheng Bai nearly fell into the sea, but luckily he came to his senses in time, steadied his body, flew into the air, quickly rushed onto the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, and was about to control the magic weapon to speed away again when he found that his back was aching from the aftermath of the thunder and a warm object was piercing into his body.
Reaching out and touching it, he found a big hole in the Thunderfury Armor. A large piece of flesh and blood was burnt, but thanks to the magical effect of the Resurrection Rune, it was instantly restored to its original state. There was a small piece of foreign object stuck between the muscles.
After adventuring in the Qiongqi Continent for several months, he had never been injured so seriously. If it weren't for the armor protecting his body and the power of resurrection, he would have died.
Cheng Bai couldn't help but secretly wonder: "The Thunderfury Armor was destroyed in just one move, and the Pill Spirit was shattered. Repairing it is useless. What is this thing?"
He pulled the foreign object out from his back, and the wound on his body healed flawlessly in an instant. He took a look at it in front of his eyes, and found that it was a blood-red pointed crystal, reflecting metallic light.
"Robbery of gold?!" Cheng Bai was overjoyed when he saw this.
The description of it in the Qi Zong Treasure Pavilion is only fragmentary and not very clear, because no one in the Qiongqi Continent has seen it in tens of thousands of years.
Only the inherited magic cube has detailed records.
During the high-quality thunderstorm, there is a rare opportunity to condense this kind of eternal divine iron, which travels through the space and time of lightning. When the thunderstorm is dispersed, it disappears without a trace. It is extremely difficult to find it, and it is even more unlikely to get it. The heavenly calamity is so dangerous that it is impossible to survive, so it is called calamity gold, also known as red gold.
"I'm so lucky that the treasure came to my doorstep." After collecting the robbed gold, Cheng Bai turned around and looked.
In a flash, eighteen golden lightning bolts came down like a sword holding up the sky, with such power that it could destroy the heaven and earth. The nine-headed monster's body exploded, its skin and flesh were burned, leaving a skeleton with rotten flesh hanging on. It swayed and held on without falling down.
The thunder tribulation had not yet ended. The many green faces in the clouds became more vivid, staring at the nine-headed monster as if they wanted to eat it alive. The emerald-gold streaks of lightning were three thousand miles long, swaying and surging like dragons, ready to go.
The nine-headed monster gasped in pain, having reached its limit. Even if it received one more blow, it would not be able to hold on. Unwilling to give up, it used its last bit of strength to stand firm.
Cheng Bai stared at this scene, feeling the hope of survival amidst its anger and helplessness. Thinking of the dead people in Tianquan City, all of them, strong and weak, had similar emotions, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity, but what could he do?
