Chapter 717 - 303: Controlling the Earth Fire, Revealing Traces_2
...
Just as Chu Ning was exploring the deepest part of the valley, chaos had already erupted within the mountain valley.
"A Tier Seven Blue Sea Eagle, these demon beasts are supposed to be found only in the Outer Sea, how can they appear here in Snow Mist Valley?
Moreover, two of them appeared at once."
A Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator hurriedly dodged the attacks of two Tier Seven Demon Beasts.
However, facing the siege of two Tier Seven Demon Beasts, despite exerting all his strength, he ultimately couldn’t escape the fate of being torn apart and blew up his Golden Core in the end.
On the other side, an elderly Golden Core Late Stage Peak cultivator had just emerged from the violent snowstorm region deep within.
Even though he was the most outstanding Golden Core cultivator in this journey, it seemed entering this snowstorm wasn’t easy for him either.
He was seen removing the magical power shield that maintained around him.
Then he exhaled in relief.
But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, looking vigilantly towards the left-front.
However, when he fixed his eyes, the elder’s eyes suddenly widened with shock and he cried out involuntarily.
"Transformed Great Demon!"
At this moment, not far from the side, stood a demon beast with a human body and bird head.
A Tier Eight Transformed Great Demon equivalent to a Nascent Soul Cultivator had suddenly appeared.
"Perfect timing, I was getting a bit bored waiting here."
The bird-headed great demon looked at this elder, speaking in a way that sent chills down the elder’s spine.
The next moment, the old man quickly fled forward to escape.
Having remained at the Golden Core Late Stage Peak for too long, he understood just how terrifying a Transformed Great Demon, equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator, truly was.
But as fast as he was, this bird-like demon beast was even faster.
With just a flash, it had already caught up behind the white-haired elder.
As it waved its hands, a surge of demon power gathered in those hands.
Those hands instantly transformed into claws, slashing fiercely at the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder, seeing this, dared not flee further, hurriedly activating his magical treasure to face the bird demon’s claws.
However, that previously unbeatable magical treasure was directly knocked down under these claws.
The spiritual light on it dimmed significantly.
But the bird demon’s hands were unaffected, carrying a wind attribute powerful demon force, striking heavily down.
"Ah!"
This Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivator, even though he raised a defense shield at the first moment, was seriously injured by such a strike.
After a few exchanges, the elder met his end under the claws of this bird-like demon beast.
If even Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators ended like this, there’s no need to mention the others.
Once the numerous demon beasts entered, they quickly began a massacre on the numerous cultivators.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the periphery were the first to be struck down, followed by the Golden Core Cultivators.
Almost every cultivator faced a demon beast of higher level, with nearly no power to resist.
At this time, only the Golden Core Late Stage Peak cultivator in the depths of the snowstorm could still perceive the approaching danger.
The four Tier Eight Demon Beasts seemed unwilling to enter the snowstorm.
They guarded around the periphery of the snowstorm region, killing any human who appeared one by one.
However, at this moment, deep within the snowstorm was not just a Golden Core Late Stage Peak cultivator.
Outside a cave from which strong gusts of wind continuously blew, stood three individuals, two men and one woman.
They were the three from Illusion Spirit Sect who had later entered Snow Mist Valley.
The beautiful woman in red stood calmly within the snowstorm, enveloped by a magical power shield.
Though the snowstorm was challenging to resist for Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivators, she seemed to handle it effortlessly.
Beside her, the middle-aged man in luxurious attire also deployed a defense shield, covering Tantai Song within it as well.
Tantai Song looked at the cave, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.
"If only that Yellow Court Seal hadn’t been lost, with such a treasure, I could venture into the cave to explore.
But now, not even the two uncles dare enter recklessly, if the Spiritual Clarity Fruit is inside the cave, what then?"
Seemingly seeing through Tantai Song’s thoughts, the beautiful woman in red had a flash of seriousness in her gaze.
"Nephew Song, the Power of Space inside this cave is extremely strong, we truly have no need to take the risk.
The Spiritual Clarity Fruit usually grows in places abundant and pure in Spiritual Qi, while the Power of Space here is too violent, improper for its growth."
The middle-aged man in luxurious attire nodded in agreement at this moment:
"Indeed, I just probed inside with divine sense.
It could only penetrate less than three hundred zhang, this cave is vastly different from other caves.
It feels quite strange, I suspect that the snowstorm in this valley is related to this cave.
Better not to enter."
Hearing both of them speak so, Tantai Song could only nod slightly and say:
"Alright, let’s keep moving east.
We’ve been searching for quite some time, found some treasures, but nothing particularly rare.
Could the Spiritual Clarity Fruit really be just a myth?"
Saying this, Tantai Song furrowed his brows slightly.
Subsequently, the three began heading eastward.
After the trio had been gone for a long time, a figure cautiously appeared at the cave entrance.
Watching the direction they departed, Chu Ning’s expression became incredibly solemn.
"Tantai Song was clearly not seen entering the valley before, yet here he is.
Moreover, the two with him are Nascent Soul Cultivators!"
