Chapter 2112: Killing Intent All Around

Giant rocks slammed against the yellow light barrier, creating a series of muffled crackles as they were repeatedly deflected. Protected by the yellow light barrier, the Blood Bodhi fruit tree remained unharmed.

Rumble! Countless giant rocks flew into the air as the Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python emerged from the rubble. Its body was bleeding profusely, and many of its scales had fallen off.

A sound like a massive tsunami echoed as the grotto shattered. An azure river, surging with the force of ten thousand galloping horses, rushed directly towards the Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python.

The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python unleashed a burst of seven-colored light. The azure river crashed into this light, as if hitting an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron, and was completely blocked.

The sky abruptly darkened. A massive blue cloud, several miles wide, suddenly materialized high above, and within it, three shimmering blue orbs were faintly visible. The blue cloud churned violently like boiling water, as large raindrops poured down. With a piercing whoosh, each droplet transformed into a giant blue fist, plummeting from the sky like a meteor shower towards the Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python.

The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python was struck by the barrage of blue fists, losing many scales and bleeding profusely. It let out a piercing roar and unleashed a vast expanse of pungent, seven-colored poisonous fire. As the toxic flames met the blue fist-shadows, the latter instantly dissolved into a white mist.

A loud roar echoed as the Kylin Turtle unleashed over a dozen thick, gold and blue lightning spears, which successively struck the Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python. The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python let out an agonizing shriek, its massive body writhing incessantly.

The ground suddenly glowed with a dazzling yellow light as more than a dozen large yellow hands burst forth, firmly pinning down the Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python's body. The blue cloud churned violently before transforming into a giant blue fist, over a thousand zhang in size, that plummeted from the sky. The giant blue fist shimmered with spiritual energy. Before it even landed, the air vibrated and distorted, emitting a piercing whoosh.

The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python's massive body continued to writhe. The yellow hands gripping it shattered one by one, as over a dozen more gold and blue lightning spears struck its form. The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python let out a mournful shriek. Many of its scales fell off, and its body was riddled with bloodied holes. The blue giant fist then descended, ending its life.

Boom! The ground shook violently, forming long, wide cracks, and countless chunks of earth and stone were hurled airborne by the powerful shockwave.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the three Sea-Calming Orbs vanished into his sleeve. Having conversed with many Soul Transformation cultivators, he now possessed a wider array of combat techniques. Previously, he could have defeated these two demonic beasts, but not with such ease.

Wang Changsheng flew to the corpses of the two Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Pythons. He cut open their bellies and extracted two seven-colored demon cores. Inside one of the pythons, he found over a dozen large, vibrant seven-colored eggs. The Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Python's abilities were not particularly strong, making it more suited for surprise attacks. If he were to establish a clan, its members could raise Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Pythons, nurturing them from a young age.

He collected the pythons' corpses and dispelled the yellow light barrier. Wang Changsheng carefully plucked the Blood Bodhi fruits, placing them into a jade box for safekeeping. With a flick of his right hand, a flash of green light revealed a misty green jade bottle. This was the low-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure, the Myriad Herb Vase, crafted primarily from Azure Moon Soil and primarily used for transplanting spiritual herbs and fruit trees. His wood spirit's rank was too low to transplant such rare spiritual fruit trees or herbs.

Wang Changsheng gently flicked his wrist, and the Myriad Herb Vase flew from his grasp. It flared with a dazzling green light, then rapidly expanded in size. From its mouth, a misty green glow erupted, enveloping the Blood Bodhi fruit tree. With the Blood Bodhi fruit tree at its center, the ground within a thousand-zhang radius shook violently, forming long, wide cracks. The entire Blood Bodhi fruit tree slowly rose from the earth, the soil automatically shedding from its roots. The Blood Bodhi fruit tree visibly shrunk, then vanished into the Myriad Herb Vase.

Wang Changsheng exhaled softly. The Myriad Herb Vase quickly returned to its original size and disappeared into his sleeve. With two Seven-Colored Soul-Devouring Pythons and a Blood Bodhi fruit tree, Wang Changsheng had made a decent profit, putting him in high spirits.

He put away the puppet beast and the Kylin Turtle, then released his Twin-Pupil Rat, instructing it to search for fifth-grade spiritual herbs. The Twin-Pupil Rat's body glowed intensely yellow as it rapidly expanded in size. It then burrowed underground, causing a moving mound of earth to ripple across the surface. Wang Changsheng transformed into a blue streak of light and followed.

The Profound Spirit Grotto-Heaven held many treasures, along with numerous formidable demonic beasts, birds, and insects. Danger and opportunity coexisted; for the strong, it was a chance, but for the weak, it was a peril.

In a vast, endless swamp, where numerous puddles dotted the ground and a greenish miasma hung in the air, a corpulent middle-aged man wielded two glowing red colossal wheels. They unleashed streams of crimson flame, attacking a black octopus the size of a small mountain, which possessed eighteen thick black tentacles. The middle-aged man's face was pale, indicating severe depletion of his spiritual energy. The two red colossal wheels repeatedly struck the black octopus, producing muffled clanging sounds, but failed to inflict significant damage upon the creature.

A fierce glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He flipped his hand, producing a shimmering golden talisman. Its astonishing spiritual energy indicated it was clearly a sixth-grade talisman. With a flick of his wrist and a quick incantation, the golden talisman instantly exploded, transforming into tens of thousands of slender golden beams that shot directly towards the black octopus. A mournful shriek pierced the air as the black octopus was shredded into a pile of minced flesh by the dense golden light, resembling a sieve.

The middle-aged man let out a long sigh of relief. Just then, a piercing whoosh cut through the air as a black light shot towards him. The middle-aged man's expression drastically changed. He quickly formed a hand seal, sending the two red colossal wheels directly at the black light while simultaneously conjuring several layers of defense around himself. With two muffled thuds, the two red colossal wheels were sent flying back. The black light pierced through the middle-aged man's defenses, then through his heart, before sweeping him into the maw of a black toad the size of a small mountain, where he vanished.

In a dense red bamboo forest, a woman in a blue skirt, dressed in Xuanqing Sect attire, stood in a clearing. Her expression was tense as millions of green demonic bees swarmed around her. The queen bee, with wings spanning over a hundred zhang, unleashed a thick stream of green flames directly at the blue-skirted woman. The other demonic bees followed suit, each spewing jets of green flame. With a thunderous roar, the area spanning several miles transformed into a sea of green fire, and the woman in the blue skirt was instantly reduced to ash.

In a dark and humid dense forest, towering trees over a hundred zhang tall stood everywhere as far as the eye could see. A young woman in a purple skirt, dressed in Myriad Spirit Sect attire, looked flustered. She transformed into a streak of light, rapidly ascending into the sky. No sooner had she ascended a hundred zhang than a powerful gravitational force materialized, pulling her body uncontrollably back towards the ground. Her face paled in alarm. She quickly produced a pale silver orb and hurled it towards the ground.

Boom! With a tremendous roar, an area of over ten miles was engulfed in silver flames. The intense heat warped and distorted the air. Numerous trees were reduced to ash, and the fire rapidly spread. A bizarre, piercing shriek rang out, and a dazzling yellow light erupted from the silver inferno. The flames abruptly dissipated. The ground tore open, and a yellow giant scorpion, over a hundred zhang in size, burrowed out from beneath. It bore a grotesque human face on its back.

"A sixth-grade Human-Faced Scorpion!"

The young woman in the purple skirt was terrified beyond words. Before she could react, the gravitational pull abruptly intensified, sending her rapidly plummeting towards the ground. A whoosh cut through the air as the yellow giant scorpion's stinger pierced through the young woman's defenses. She felt a sudden chill in her chest as a yellow tail hook impaled her. The yellow giant scorpion then unleashed a burst of yellow light, sweeping her, along with her nascent soul, into its mouth and swallowing her whole.
