2551 Level-Six Mineral, Lizard Demon

The news that the Soul Controlling Sect had been slaughtered quickly spread throughout the Infinite Mining Area.

More importantly, even if you destroyed the sect, no one would know who you were, but you chose to leave your name behind. Wasn’t this attracting hatred? Were you afraid that others wouldn’t know that you were from the human race?

The old turtle also said, “Why did you take the initiative to expose your identity?”

Han Fei said indifferently, “From now on, the Sea Realm should have a place for the human race. There has to be a beginning for the rise of the human race. The Infinite Mining Area is not bad. Let’s start from here.”

The old turtle said, “I think you’re crazy. Your human race is still far away from being a strong power.”

Han Fei said, “After I conquer the Infinite Mining Area, the gap won’t be big.”

The old turtle: “…”

The old turtle felt that Han Fei seemed to be a little crazy, but he didn’t know that Han Fei was actually cutting off all means of retreat. He had already made up his mind to prove Dao in eight hundred years in order to fight the so-called ominous.

Now, he needed as many enemies as possible.

Other people had the time to cultivate slowly and put Great Dao Locks on themselves slowly, but he couldn’t. His Dao bone hadn’t been formed, and his Star Core hadn’t been compressed. He was still far from the perfected Star Transformation Realm. Therefore, he needed enemies to help him.

On the seventh day after Han Fei’s sneak attack on the Soul Controlling Sect’s camp, this news completely spread throughout the Infinite Mining Area.

And the Soul Controlling Sect was also ruthless. They issued a hunting order in the Hundred Alliance City. Anyone who knew the location of the Human Butcher would be rewarded with a mid-quality godly weapon. Anyone who could kill the Human Butcher would be rewarded with a hundred 250,000-kilometer refined stars. Anyone who destroyed the Seven Kill Army would be given an additional thousand low-quality Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures, ten level-six minerals, 10,000 sets of ultra-quality godly weapons, and 10,000 Soul Accumulation Pearls…

When the Soul Controlling Sect released this bounty, almost the entire Infinite Mining Area was in an uproar. This was an extremely generous amount of resources. With this amount of resources, one could completely arm an army of 10,000 Sea Establishers. Furthermore, there were 100 refined stars. Perhaps it could help a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivator directly advance to the perfected Star Transformation Realm.

…

“Human race? The Human Butcher who caused a storm of blood outside the Infinite Mining Area recently?”

A handsome young man frowned in confusion.

Next to him, a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm powerhouse asked in confusion, “My lord, could it be one of the other commanders?”

The man shook his head. “Our City of Wanderers doesn’t have enough combat power in the Chaotic Wasteland. Duan Qingsi and the others can’t come here. Even if they do, they will definitely inform me. Besides, although there are humans in the City of Wanderers, and even the Master of Silence is a human, it’s not enough to form a powerful Seven Kill Army.”

“Master Long Wu…”

Someone cut through the sky and rushed back from the Hundred Alliance City. He was also a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm powerhouse.

After landing, the person hurriedly said, “Master Long Wu, I’ve already investigated the Seven Kill Army in the Hundred Alliance City. First of all, I can confirm that not all members of the Seven Kill Army are human, but at least half of them are human. According to the information sent back by the Soul Controlling Sect, there are about 20,000 human Sea Establishers in the Seven Kill Army, and dozens of human Sky Openers. They don’t seem to be from our city… By the way, this Seven Kill Army is very fierce. They only appeared outside the Infinite Mining Area in recent years. In the past few years, they have swept through 39 pirate teams. According to the survivors, that Human Butcher is very strong, so strong that he killed eight perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouses alone. This is the only thing that has been investigated and confirmed. Also, there’s news that the Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe being wiped out seems to be related to this Human Butcher…”

“The Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe was completely wiped out?”

The old man nodded. “Yes, they were all wiped out. But there is no direct evidence pointing to this Human Butcher, but the two leaders of the Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe quickly returned and then disappeared. Then, Human Butcher appeared, so he is suspected to be the murderer of the Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe.”

Long Wu’s pupils were constricted slightly. “I know this Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe. The strongest one seems to have three Great Dao Locks. Because this race is not likable and doesn’t have many strong masters, they can’t enter the Infinite Mining Area. However, among their leaders, there should be three or even four who have Great Dao Locks. If that Human Butcher can really wipe out the Bloodthirsty Banner Fish Tribe, it’s not surprising that he can successfully launch a sneak attack on the Soul Controlling Sect. But what is his purpose?”

“Master Long Wu, let’s put his purpose aside for now. In the entire Infinite Mining Area, only our City of Wanderers has human cultivators. We have already become the first suspect.”

Long Wu’s face sank. “Don’t panic yet. The major factions know very well what the City of Wanderers has done and how many people we have. Besides, although we have humans here, there aren’t many of them. Most of them are in the City of Wanderers, so we can explain. Let’s wait and see. Since this person has entered the Infinite Mining Area in the name of the Seven Kill Army, he must have some plans. Otherwise, there’s no reason for him to be so high profile. By the way, has there been any news of this Seven Kill Army in the past few days?”

“No, no news at all. This Human Butcher must have recalled all his army into his Origin Star. With his strength, if he wants to hide, I’m afraid no one can find him.”

Long Wu nodded and said, “Old Eight, return to the City of Wanderers in person. Since this person dares to claim to be a human, even if he has nothing to do with our city, there may be someone in our city who knows something about him.”

…

While countless people in the Infinite Mining Area were looking for Han Fei, in a deserted area in the northern mining area, Han Fei was running wildly.

Han Fei slowed down a little, and a lizard-like mine demon jumped over from the void.

Han Fei punched out and sent the mine demon flying, but in such an instantaneous pause, another seven or eight lizard mine demons burst out. More importantly, one of their hands was as long as a spear, with high explosive power and speed. If it weren’t for Han Fei’s fast speed, agility, and extremely strong physique, he would have been stabbed to death.

Han Fei shouted, “Old Yuan! Are the mine demons in the northern mining area so powerful? Their maximum speed is even faster than mine. Is there a suitable place for training soldiers here?”

The old turtle said, “Don’t worry. You’re fine, aren’t you? We used to call this kind of mine demon Flash Lizard. As you can see, their strength is only at the late-stage of the Star Transformation Realm. What’s annoying is that they are always jumping. Their instant jumping and flashing speed is so fast that even perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators will have a headache. But fortunately, their combat power is not very strong.”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “You call this not strong? Only seven or eight of them can stop a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm powerhouse. If there are a hundred of them, they can chase and kill a peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm powerhouse, OK?”

The old turtle said, “Actually, there weren’t so many of them in the past. Back then, there weren’t many Flash Lizards. At most, there were five or six of them together. It’s not like now, where dozens or hundreds of them jump over together at any time. It seems that cultivators nowadays haven’t explored the Infinite Mining Area enough. As a result, the number of mine demons like the Flash Lizards has soared. However, their spears are top-notch refining materials. A spear is equivalent to a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure.”

Han Fei rolled his eyes again. “It’s just a low-quality Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure, and it still needs to be refined. More importantly, I don’t lack weapons at all. Almost each of the Sea Establishers in the Seven Kill Army has had a set of ultra-quality divine weapons, and I also have more than three thousand mid-quality and low-quality Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures, which are enough for the Seven Kill Army.”

The old turtle said, “Save it for now. Your human race will need a lot of weapons in the future. You’d better go now. There are so many Flash Lizards. I think we’re about to reach the Mine Demon Stream. Once we reach the Mine Demon Stream, you will be free.”

Han Fei ran away quickly. He believed the old turtle’s words and went to the northern mining area to find the Mine Demon Stream. However, along the way, it was fine at first with only some level-two mine demons, which later became level-three ones.

But he could tolerate all that. But once he went deeper into the path the old turtle mentioned, Han Fei encountered this Flash Lizard. No matter how good his footwork was, he had been stabbed tens of thousands of times along the way. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been stabbed to death.

After sprinting for half a day, the Flash Lizards suddenly disappeared. Han Fei took a long breath. “Good lord, I’ve encountered at least 100,000 Flash Lizards. Were there so many of them in the Age of the Gods?”

Han Fei felt that his blood was freezing. When he was in the Scattered Star Sea, he thought that there were many Sky Opening realm creatures there, but now it seemed that there were also f*cking many of them in the Sea Realm! He had thought that it was impossible for the Sea Realm to have a place like the Scattered Star Sea, but now it seemed that this place was f*cking even more dangerous than the Scattered Star Sea.

Most of the people in the Scattered Star Sea were at the early-stage of the Sky Opening Realm. Good lord, these Flash Lizards were all at the late-stage of the Star Transformation Realm and could even compete with the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators. No wonder none of the three hundred or so factions in the Infinite Mining Area were willing to come to the northern mining area. If it weren’t for the old turtle’s words, Han Fei wouldn’t have come himself.

Just when Han Fei felt that he had left the Flash Lizard area, he suddenly twisted his body and set up a time deceleration barrier around him.

Then, the Infinity Water flew out of his hand and was about to turn into a God Sealing Spear.

But before the Infinity Water turned into a God Sealing Spear, a spear mark appeared in front of his eyes.

Rumble!

The Infinity Water was penetrated, and a shocking shockwave swept across a radius of a million kilometers. A spear intent passed through the time barrier and landed on him.

Han Fei’s face changed slightly. He was about to catch the spear with his bare hands, when the spear flew back.

Not far away from him, a figure jumped over from the sky. It was a lizard man whose entire body emitted an amber light.

Information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.

<Name > Lizard Demon

<Introduction > In the Infinite Mining Area, some Flash Lizard Mine Demons were demonized due to a special opportunity. This creature can be said to be born naturally and can use the power of the Heavenly Dao within a certain range. As a level-six mine demon, the Lizard Demons have extremely strong defense power and are extremely difficult to kill. The only disadvantage is that they are simple-minded and relatively stupid.

<Level > 109

<Quality > Level-Six Mine Demon

<Realm > Perfected Star Transformation Realm

<Battle Techniques> Spear of Truth, Spear of Barrier Breaking, Light Explosion Jump, Ultimate Jump Stab

<Collectible > Spear of Truth, level-six mineral, heaven and earth pattern

<Absorbable >

<Note > A level-six mine demon can’t be penetrated by ordinary power. You have to attack its vital parts to win.

 







2552 Emperor Sparrow Swallows Demons

A level-six mine demon?

When he came to the Infinite Mining Area, Han Fei had already realized that the level of the mine demons represented the level of their mineral. With a token made of level-six mineral, one could establish a sect in the Infinite Mining Area.

How could the mine demons he had encountered before be so strong?

In Han Fei’s impression, there were level-two and level-three low-level mine demons everywhere. Now that a level-six mine demon suddenly appeared, he had to be vigilant.

The Lizard Demon had just thrown a spear over when it jumped over and dodged the spear. Its combat skills were as smooth as flowing water.

The instant explosive power made Han Fei feel as if he had encountered a divine attack like the Star Fist Technique.

Han Fei glanced at the pierced time barrier and thought that the northern mining area was indeed dangerous. He even felt that it was ridiculous that a training ground would appear here.

At this moment, the Lizard Demon didn’t seem to be very smart. It looked at Han Fei as if it had seen delicious food. At this moment, it jumped out again.

However, Han Fei discovered that, unlike the Flash Lizards, this thing’s instantaneous speed had reached the speed of light explosion.

This was because at that moment, there was a light explosion. Han Fei’s eyes and soul lost track of the Lizard Demon at the same time.

Clang!

His heart skipped a beat. Even though Han Fei reacted, he couldn’t keep up with the speed of the Lizard Demon’s spear.

Bang!

Han Fei was blown thousands of kilometers away, and a nail-sized bloody hole was left on his chest. However, it was only an external wound and didn’t go deep into his internal organs.

But even so, it was enough to shock Han Fei. With his current physique, even a powerhouse who had proved Dao wouldn’t dare say that he was definitely stronger than him. However, this Lizard Demon who had just reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm had broken his defense.

“No, it’s his combat skill, Barrier Breaking Spear.”

Han Fei was shocked. With the speed of light explosion and the barrier breaking technique, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed in one shot. This made him realize that although he was extremely powerful and his body refinement level was extremely high, he still couldn’t block such a spear.

And this was only a level-six mine demon. If it was a level-seven or even level-eight mine demon, would it be possible to threaten his life? Would there be a level-nine mine demon in this Infinite Mining Area?

This made Han Fei’s heart skip a beat. He had to find a way to temper his Dao bones, or he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his enemy in speed. If he really met such an abnormal and unreasonable fighting method, he would be at a disadvantage.

At the moment he was sent flying, Han Fei realized his current goal and direction.

With a flip of his hand, he set up a time deceleration barrier around him. As he expected, before his body stopped retreating, the Lizard Demon had rushed over again.

“Steal, steal, steal…”

Han Fei stole the Lizard Demon’s speed and Spear of Barrier Breaking in an instant. Losing the two combat skills in an instant, the Lizard Demon was stunned. It brushed past Han Fei and fell into the void ten thousand kilometers away.

Han Fei stabbed out the Barrier Breaking Spear, trying to penetrate the Lizard Demon’s own body with its own attack.

Bang!

However, the situation that the Lizard Demon fell into pieces Han Fei expected didn’t appear. What surprised him happened. This violent barrier breaking strike only shattered some of the minerals on the Lizard Demon’s shoulder, but it didn’t affect its combat power much.

“Hiss! Such a strong physique?”

Han Fei was a little stunned. Although the mine demon was a mineral creature, wasn’t its body too hard? The Barrier Breaking Spear that could even break through his defense only shattered a small part of its body. Didn’t this mean that the body hardness of a level-six mine demon was almost comparable to his?

In order to verify his guess, Han Fei drew his saber from the void, and the Infinity Water turned into a dazzling saber beam that instantly slashed at the Lizard Demon.

Clang!

The attack of a high-quality godly weapon aroused overlapping waves one after another. When he unleashed his full strength, he thought he could at least cut open the body of the Lizard Demon. However, Han Fei saw some strange patterns light up on the Lizard Demon’s body, and then it withstood his attack head-on.

Apart from a large number of minerals on its body being shattered, its body was not completely cut open.

“Shoot! What are those patterns?”

However, this wasn’t what shocked Han Fei the most. What shocked him was that the Lizard Demon shook its head without having its consciousness stolen by the Void Stealing Technique.

“How is that possible?”

Han Fei was shocked. Even a Monarch couldn’t be so unscathed. Besides, he didn’t feel any backlash. Was his stealing method wrong?

“I steal, I steal…”

It wasn’t until the Lizard Demon jumped towards Han Fei again that he gave up the idea of stealing its consciousness.

Han Fei immediately summoned the old turtle. Although the Demon Purification Pot explained it, Han Fei still knew too little about the mine demons in the Infinite Mining Area.

As soon as the old turtle came out, he shivered and said, “A Lizard Demon?”

Han Fei said, “Old Yuan, what is this? It’s just in the perfected Star Transformation Realm, but its physique is so strong that even I couldn’t cut its body open. Also, his speed has reached the speed of light explosion.”

The old turtle looked at Han Fei in surprise. “Wait, are you fighting a Lizard Demon head-on?”

Han Fei asked, “Yes?”

The old turtle said, “Mineral demons are essentially the embodiment of minerals. They don’t have high intelligence, but their combat power is terrifying. The higher the level of a mine demon, the stronger its body will be. It’s normal that you can’t cut it apart. If you encounter a level-seven mine demon, you will find it even harder to fight than this.”

Han Fei rolled his eyes and deprived the mine demon of its jumping behavior. Then, he said casually, “In that case, can a level-eight mine demon even go against a Monarch? Even a Monarch can’t kill it?”

The old turtle said, “That’s unlikely. They have different levels of understanding of Great Dao and control of strength. Mine demons are powerful because they are mineral creatures. It’s just like your opponent is a godly weapon. It won’t be easy for you to cut them apart, right? I just didn’t expect that you would encounter a Lizard Demon.”

Han Fei said, “What else do you think I’ll encounter? There are Flash Lizards along the way. Not only that, but I also encountered this stone lump. Why is it so stupid as to keep fighting me?”

The old turtle said, “Yes, it’s very stupid. Just look at its stupid look. It’s better to let it go.”

“Heh…”

Han Fei was lost for words. This was a level-six mine demon, so he certainly wouldn’t let it go. Could it be that this Lizard Demon was stupid and simple-minded enough to ignore his Void Stealing Technique? He wondered if the senior who created Void Fishing had ever considered this problem.

The old turtle said, “Besides, to be precise, the Lizard Demon is not only a mine demon, but also a mine devil. It’s a type of demonic creature. The conditions for their appearance are very special. If you encounter a Lizard Demon, there must be a mine devil nearby.”

Han Fei asked, “What is a mine devil?”

The old turtle said, “You can understand it as a negative spiritual power, a kind of negative creature born from the blood pool. The mine devils habitually devour minerals to grow up. This kind of mine devil can’t escape the fate of being devoured. Therefore, the Flash Lizards swallowed the mine demons, or were affected by the mine demons, or obtained the remnants of some Monarchs in the past, or negative spiritual power, or something. Therefore, they underwent a change in life form and became Lizard Demons. However, the mine devils are not good things. Why would such a thing appear near the Mine Demon Stream?”

Han Fei said, “You’ve been gone for millions of years. The world has changed. How can it be the same as before? Tell me about the weakness of this Lizard Demon first.”

“Demonic Patterns!”

The old turtle said bluntly, “Because the mineral is fused with the origin of demonic creatures, a Demonic Seed will form in their bodies. In combat, demonic patterns will appear, similar to Dao patterns. I don’t need to tell you what their effects are, right? They just have exactly the same effects as Dao patterns. It’s similar to the innate back armor of our turtle race. In fact, it’s a little similar to Dao bones.”

Han Fei said, “Get to the point. If I don’t restrain it anymore, believe it or not, it can kill you in an instant.”

The old turtle said, “I don’t believe it. I’m a Yang Soul body now. A stupid creature like the Lizard Demon can’t kill a Yang Soul.”

“Heh!”

Han Fei released the restrictions and retracted the Void Stealing Technique.

In the next moment, with a flash of light, the old turtle was shocked as his soul was pierced by a spear beam. Although it didn’t hurt his foundation, it caused some cracks in the old turtle’s Yang Soul.

Han Fei glanced at the old turtle contemptuously. “Keep bragging. Keep showing off. So what if you’re a Yang Soul body? With its current strength, its combat power will definitely carry strong Dao runes, which are enough to hurt you.”

The old turtle screamed, “Quick, stop him. This Lizard Demon’s demonic seed is not weak.”

Han Fei casually stole a spear and said, “Then why don’t you get to the point? Where is the Demonic Seed? How can I destroy it?”

The old turtle said, “The heart. The body of a mine demon is very hard, so such an important thing is either in the heart or the head. The Demonic Seed of the Lizard Demon is in its heart.”

Buzz!

A dazzling spear beam burst out.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Han Fei didn’t intend to keep the first Lizard Demon as a sparring partner. From what the old turtle said, there might be more mine devils nearby.

Deprived of speed and the Spear of Trueness, the Lizard Demon found its combat power greatly reduced. Faced with Han Fei’s indiscriminate bombardment, its heart was broken in less than ten seconds.

From it, Han Fei took out a black bead with blood stripes.

Before Han Fei took a closer look, a bird’s head suddenly extended out of his body, caught the Demonic Seed in its mouth, and swallowed it.

Who else could the owner of this bird head be if not the Emperor Sparrow?







2553 Emperor Sparrow, You’re Going Backwards

The Emperor Sparrow took the initiative to appear, which was something Han Fei didn’t expect.

However, on second thought, the demonic seed of the Lizard Demon was clearly the Emperor Sparrow’s favorite food. Because of the restrictions of the conditions, he coudn’t feed the Emperor Sparrow with murderous aura and negative power, so the Emperor Sparrow’s strength had stagnated.

Without stopping the Emperor Sparrow, Han Fei let it rush out of his body.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Such a familiar smell doesn’t seem to be common in my inherited memories. Where is this?”

Han Fei asked, “The Infinite Mining Area. Do you even have memories about this place?”

The Emperor Sparrow flapped its wings and grabbed a piece of mineral that fell off the Lizard Demon’s body, saying proudly, “A little bit. There was a war between divine beasts and Primordial Fierce Beasts here.”

Then, Han Fei saw that the Emperor Sparrow’s feathers trembled slightly and were shining more brightly. As he shivered, it seemed that some shackles had been broken and he had upgraded.

Yes, for such a long time before, the Emperor Sparrow didn’t advance, but it did after eating a Demonic Seed. It seemed that the northern mining area was really a suitable place for cultivation.

However, the Thearch Sparrow didn’t stop. Instead, it suddenly spread its wings and trembled gently. A special frequency rippled out from here, and no one knew how far it spread.

This behavior lasted for more than three hundred seconds before the Emperor Sparrow retracted its wings. Then, its eyes turned cold as it said, “There are still Primordial Fierce Beasts here now.”

Han Fei was surprised. “How do you know that?”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Because of my bloodline, I was once the king of fierce beasts. I can sense any place where there were Primordial Fierce Beasts. However, the traces are extremely shallow. They must have once been here a long time ago. That’s fine. Now is not the time to go back to find them. Furthermore, where there are Primordial Fierce Beasts, there are probably divine beasts. I shouldn’t expose myself too early.”

Hearing this, Han Fei was relieved. He still had a lot of things to do. It would cause him a lot of trouble if the Emperor Sparrow returned to the Primordial Fierce Beasts and started a war with the divine beasts!

Han Fei said, “That’s good. Then will your appearance attract their attention?”

The Emperor Sparrow shook his head. “The divine beasts and even the fierce beasts probably already know the news of my appearance, but it’s still impossible for them to find me. My bloodline is not something they can deduce. This Infinite Mining Area is not bad and is very suitable for me to cultivate. If I can have more Demonic Seeds, my strength will improve very quickly. Therefore, during this period of time, I will stay in the outside world.”

Han Fei didn’t have any objections. Anyway, the old turtle said that he would encounter some demonic creatures, which might be suitable for the Emperor Sparrow’s appetite.

After the Lizard Demon lost its Demonic Seed, it completely perished. Many minerals fell from its body. Among them, there was a yellow amber-like mineral. It was the best quality of the minerals and the only level-six mineral.

This level of mineral could be used to build godly weapons. In terms of quality, this level-six mineral was even better than the token he had.

Qin Cheng said that one could establish their own faction by owning a level-six mine. Now that he thought about it, it made sense. If it were an ordinary perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouse, Han Fei felt that they might not be a match for this Lizard Demon at all. They might even be instantly killed by the Lizard Demon.

If it weren’t for his thick skin and tough body and the Void Stealing Technique, it would have been impossible for him to defeat the Lizard Demon.

Therefore, the Lizard Demon seemed to be killed easily, but if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with it.

Perhaps because the Lizard Demon was too powerful, there were no other Flash Lizards in this area. After all, most mine demons grew through fighting and assimilating each other.

After a while, Han Fei grabbed the Vast Ocean Navigator and continued to walk towards the Mine Demon Stream.

There were no high-level mine demons in the following section of the road, but it was only half a day on such a safe road.

Half a day later, just as Han Fei sensed the fluctuations of the tide, six Lizard Demons suddenly jumped out.

Yes, at that moment, the six Lizard Demons launched six Ultimate Hopping Stabs. Even though Han Fei had the Void Stealing Technique, he couldn’t prevent all six of them from attacking at the same time!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just an instant, Han Fei was hit continuously. He felt that he was stabbed dozens of times and blasted more than 100,000 miles away.

The Emperor Sparrow wasn’t any better. Because he was standing on Han Fei’s body, the main target of the Lizard Demon was Han Fei. Occasionally, a spear would stab at the Emperor Sparrow, and the latter was pierced through and beaten into pieces.

However, Han Fei saw that the beaten Emperor Sparrow’s body turned into a cloud of black smoke and condensed again in the next moment.

At this moment, the Emperor Sparrow was shocked. He had a great time eating it, but he didn’t expect this Lizard Demon to be so strong. If it were in the same realm as him, he wouldn’t be afraid at all, but now he was still weak and there was even a big gap between him and Han Fei. Suddenly, facing the attack of the speed of light explosion, to be honest, as the number one Primordial Fierce Beast, he was almost beaten stunned.

The Emperor Sparrow: “How strong is this creature?”

Han Fei felt a chill down his spine. While setting up a time barrier, he said, “In the perfected Star Transformation Realm, only slightly weaker than a Monarch.”

The Emperor Sparrow: “Then I’ll go back first. Call me when you’re done.”

With that, the Emperor Sparrow disappeared into Han Fei’s body. Come on, this was not a matter of bloodline. There was an insurmountable gap in the realm. He was only in the early stages of the Sky Opening Realm, and this Lizard Demon was equivalent to a weak Monarch. They had a big difference in the realm.

Besides, it would be fine if there was only one Lizard Demon, but six of them appeared at once. What could the Emperor Sparrow do?

Han Fei rolled his eyes. This guy was just like the old turtle. After entering the northern mining area, the old turtle would only come out in relatively safe places. After he came out just now, he arrogantly said that the Lizard Demon couldn’t kill him, but in the next moment, he was penetrated. He was so scared that he wouldn’t come out until they arrived at the Mine Demon Stream.

At this moment, Han Fei’s head was filled with questions. Six Lizard Demons?! Did he fall into a Lizard Demon nest? Didn’t the old turtle say that these things were rare in their era? Why were there so many of this kind of strange creature all of a sudden?

Besides, the old turtle said that where there was a Lizard Demon, there should be mine devils. This meant that this battle was far from the last battle.

In reality, the Lizard Demons didn’t give Han Fei any room to think as they jumped at him one after another.

Buzz!

Han Fei descended from the void, and tens of thousands of figures set up the God Sealing Spear Array within a radius of 100,000 kilometers.

Fortunately, these Lizard Demons were relatively stupid and didn’t know that Han Fei was setting up arrays. Otherwise, as perfected Star Transformation Realm creatures, it was impossible for them not to dodge.

The God Sealing Spear Array had sealed such a small area, immediately suppressing the strength of the six Lizard Demons.

Han Fei had thought that their strength would be suppressed by at least 50%. However, in the blink of an eye, Han Fei’s time barrier was shattered.

“Hiss! How is it possible?”

Han Fei was shocked. Their attack power didn’t seem to be suppressed at all!

“No, their speed has slowed down by about 20%. Their strength seems to be weaker too, but overall, they’re only 20% weaker.”

Han Fei immediately understood. It wasn’t that the God Sealing Spear Array was useless, but that the Lizard Demons were essentially equivalent to body refiners. They were minerals in themselves and relied on themselves instead of techniques or laws.

“Fine, at least their strength has been reduced by twenty percent.”

Buzz!

Han Fei was poked a dozen times again and there were small holes all over his body. He finally erupted and his Great Dao operated.

Han Fei took out the Mirror of Infinity and instantly took in a Lizard Demon. At the same time, he grabbed a spear beam with the Void Stealing Technique and stabbed it into the Mirror of Infinity, killing one of the Lizard Demons.

Then, with a thought, Han Fei deprived three Lizard Demons of their speed and set up a gravity space with the Great Dao of Strength. A flesh and blood battle officially began.

When the number of the Lizard Demons increased, the difficulty of killing them far exceeded Han Fei’s imagination. The gravity space was broken in less than three seconds. This made Han Fei realize that he could only fight this thing head-on.

“Sure enough, the hardest thing to deal with in this world is this kind of abnormally strong physique. The point is that the soul power of the Lizard Demons is too weak, so in essence, they’re equivalent to Extreme Dao body refiners.”

In this battle, Han Fei withstood the powerful attacks of two Lizard Demons and forcibly killed two Lizard Demons whose speed had been stolen. In the end, Han Fei fought three Lizard Demons for half an hour before barely winning.

“Huff~”

After the battle, Han Fei sat cross-legged and began to recover his spirit. He didn’t dare to go straight to the Mine Demon Stream. What if another seven or eight Lizard Demons came?

The Emperor Sparrow, on the other hand, was eating happily. The six Demonic Seeds of the six Lizard Demons were swallowed by him in one go.

Han Fei was stunned. “Are you really fine eating so much at once? These are Demonic Seeds in the perfected Star Transformation Realm anyway.”

The Emperor Sparrow said proudly, “It’s okay. I had too much deficit before. This little bit is actually not enough to make up for it. Even if they can’t be digested, I can save them first and slowly digest them. In your Origin Star, I should be able to advance again in a year. Therefore, you should get more of this Demonic Seed.”

Han Fei: “…”

Han Fei said leisurely, “Emperor Sparrow, you’re going backwards.”








2554 The Old Turtle’s Thoughts

Han Fei didn’t listen to the Emperor Sparrow. In fact, he couldn’t temper himself much by fighting the Lizard Demons. This was because his main method of fighting the Lizard Demons was to rely on the Void Stealing Technique.

If he didn’t have the Void Stealing Technique, it wasn’t impossible for him to hunt a Lizard Demon, but the odds would be much smaller and it would be much more troublesome.

Considering that there was no need to fight head-on in such a battle, Han Fei simply turned into his black-mist body. Anyway, he shouldn’t be far from the Mine Demon Stream. The speed of his black-mist body might be slow, but it was safe!

Sure enough, as Han Fei expected, in a certain col, Han Fei found two more Lizard Demons. Because there were only two of them, Han Fei took the opportunity to trap and kill one with the Mirror of Infinity. It was much easier to deal with the other.

Han Fei had planned to hunt two more Lizard Demons. But when he saw a large number of ordinary mine demons running around, fighting, or disguising themselves, he knew that he had arrived at the Mine Demon Stream.

This was because these creatures were in line with what the old turtle said. The mine demons born in the Mine Demon Stream were not strong. They were mainly used for training and trials. And these stone men, mineral crabs, big sword carp, strange stone starfish, and so on were too many. With a sweep of his perception, he found more than 100,000 of them.

And this was just the number Han Fei casually scanned. This meant that there were more than a million mine demons here. From the outside to the inside, the level of the mine demons was constantly increasing.

At first, among the mine demons that Han Fei sensed, there were even some Explorer-level mine demons who had no intelligence at all. They just instinctively absorbed the essence of the minerals here and moved bit by bit in the direction of the Mine Demon Stream.

“Huh! This is a great place for training soldiers. Mine demons are like body refiners. They are even harder to deal with than cultivators of the same level.”

Without immediately carrying out the training plan, Han Fei continued to move forward until the mine demons became stronger and stronger, reaching the Sea Establishment realm or even the peak-level Sea Establishment realm.

But then Han Fei saw a huge crack between east and west, where there were turbulent sea currents and corrosive water similar to the Desolation Water.

“Huh! Is this the Mine Demon Stream? There are no mine demons in the Sky Opening Realm?”

With a thought, Han Fei released the old turtle. The Emperor Sparrow hadn’t digested all the Demonic Seeds yet, and even if he had, he might need some consolidation, so he didn’t come out.

When the old turtle appeared and saw the Mine Demon Stream, he immediately exclaimed, “Huh? Has the Mine Demon Stream become so small now? The width of the former Mine Demon Stream was at least three times larger than this one.”

Han Fei said, “How can your era be the same as now? You just need to be sure that this is the Mine Demon Stream.”

The old turtle said, “I’m sure this is the Mine Demon Stream. Look at the power rolling in the deep stream, it’s the aura of minerals, hiding the law of the Heavenly Dao. What the mine demons like most is this power. However, not all mine demons of any level can absorb this power. It’s usually difficult for mine demons below level-three to absorb it. Even level-three mine demons sometimes can’t withstand this power and explode to death.”

Han Fei was surprised. “Level-three mine demons? Many level-two mine demons are already in the Sky Opening realm. Can’t Sky Openers enter it?”

The old turtle said, “This doesn’t have much to do with the realm. The strength of mine demons lies in the refinement of their minerals. Generally speaking, when a level-three mine appears, it will be in the Sky Opening realm. Those level-two mine demons can only slowly absorb the power of the minerals to strengthen their own minerals’ quality. Before reaching level-three, they will most likely explode if they enter the Mine Demon Stream.”

Han Fei nodded slightly, but then he said, “What about the Lizard Demons? Did the Lizard Demons come from the Mine Demon Stream? They’re in the perfected Star Transformation Realm and their combat power is comparable to that of Dao Provers. They couldn’t have been born from the mine demons outside the Mine Demon Stream, right?”

After a moment of silence, the old turtle said, “If I’ve guessed right, they came out of the Mine Demon Stream.”

Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. “Didn’t you say that the Mine Demon Stream is a place for training? How can there be perfected Star Transformation Realm creatures?”

The old turtle thought for a moment and said, “This has to be explained from a long time ago. The Mine Demon Stream doesn’t exist naturally. This place was artificially dug out. In our era, the Infinite Mining Area was guarded by Monarchs, and it’s said that there were even gods in the early days. And this Mine Demon Stream belongs to the puppet training ground of the Puppet City under the rule of Great Monarch Mystic Martial.”

“Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Puppet City?”

The old turtle said, “No Monarchs have entered this place now, so the Great Monarch Mystic Martial is definitely not here. But Puppet City should be here. It’s a special city, where after a person dies, their soul remains intact. They can use the body of a mine demon to transform themselves into a mine demon. After transforming into a mine demon, it’s hard to say if they are still normal creatures or not. Anyway, gradually, these people who transform into mine demons become more and more like puppets. They only know how to fight and guard…”

“Wait…”

Han Fei hurriedly interrupted the old turtle. “So, under this Mine Demon Stream is a city?”

The old turtle said, “I don’t know if it’s under the Mine Demon Stream, but the Mine Demon Stream used to be outside Puppet City.”

Han Fei couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and look at the old turtle. “Why didn’t you say before that there was also this puppet city?”

The old turtle said, “Didn’t I? Then I must have forgotten…”

Seeing that Han Fei was looking at him with shining eyes, the old turtle said awkwardly, “Actually, I want to rebuild my body. Ordinary bodies or spiritual treasure of heaven and earth might not be very useful. Even if I can use them, they’ll probably be like my previous body. At most, I can establish a connection with my original body in the Godfiend Sea once or twice. It’s meaningless. Therefore, I want to find out. Perhaps there is the inheritance of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial here.”

The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. “So you came to the northern mining area for the things of Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Why? Were you hiding your true intention earlier because you were afraid that I wouldn’t come?”

The old turtle said, “I really didn’t mean to hide it. This is indeed the best place to train soldiers and, by the way, build my body.”

Han Fei chuckled. “I don’t believe you. Tell me, what’s the threat here? Otherwise, why did you tell me your true intentions until we arrived?”

The old turtle said without blushing, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that there might be Monarch-level mine demons in Puppet City.”

“Hiss…”

“Not a big deal? How do you have the cheek to say that?!”

Han Fei was dumbfounded. A Monarch-level mine demon? He knew that the old turtle must have some ulterior motive. If there were really Monarchs in Puppet City, how strong would they be? Would he still be able to train his soldiers here?

The old turtle hurriedly added, “Don’t worry. The puppet army of Puppet City won’t come out. Besides, this place has clearly been abandoned for a long time. The Puppet City hasn’t been replenished for such a long time. It might not be as strong as before.”

Han Fei asked, “There were Monarchs in Puppet City? How strong were they?”

The old turtle said leisurely, “In the past, except for Great Monarch Mystic Martial, there were also immortal-level Monarchs. However, they were just guarding this place. Under normal circumstances, most Monarchs would follow the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. Therefore, it’s hard to say if there are any Monarch-level puppets here now. If this place is abandoned, I think there’s a chance that there aren’t any Monarch-level puppets.”

Han Fei: “…”

Han Fei said, “Alright, so you just don’t know anything. Let me ask you, are you sure the puppets in Puppet City won’t go out of the city?”

The old turtle said, “I’m sure. I’m from the same race as the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. I used to fight side by side with the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. When I was young, we were even good brothers, so I know Puppet City very well.”

“Good brother? Keep bragging. A great monarch is your good brother? Old Yuan! When did you get the bad habit of bragging?”

The old turtle said, “I’m not lying to you. It’s just that Mystic Martial got better after that.”

Seeing the disbelief on Han Fei’s face, the old turtle grew anxious. “Don’t doubt me. I know the secrets of Mystic Martial. She likes to lay eggs the most. She once said that if she didn’t become a god, she would make one of her children become a god. So she laid many eggs, which is why I came here to rebuild my body.”

“Hiss! Are you going to use her egg to rebuild your body? Or are you going to seal yourself and enter her egg… F*ck, won’t you become the son of Great Monarch Mystic Martial? If Great Monarch Mystic Martial is still alive, do you think she will be willing to see this scene?”

The old turtle: “…”

After a long silence, the old turtle said, “I just borrow the flesh and blood to reconstruct a unique body for myself.”

Han Fei said indifferently, “Alright, if you say so. Even if I admit that you are on good terms with Great Monarch Mystic Martial, where do you think the Lizard Demons came from? And where is the mine devil you mentioned?”

The old turtle looked at the Mine Demon Stream and said leisurely, “The Lizard Demons definitely didn’t come from Puppet City, so it can only be the Mine Demon Stream. Perhaps something happened at the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream. We still have to go down and take a look.”

Han Fei nodded. It was inevitable to go down the Mine Demon Stream. Even if there were a large group of Lizard Demons under the Mine Demon Stream, they would still have to go down.

The Mine Demon Stream was indeed suitable for training soldiers. Besides, there was enough spiritual energy and minerals here. If there were no Monarch-level puppets in the Puppet City, it might be able to become his cultivation ground and help him reach the perfected Star Transformation Realm as soon as possible.

Han Fei said, “Come down with me.”

The old turtle hesitated. “That’s not good! I don’t even have a body.”

Han Fei sneered. “You don’t even have a body. The mine demons are equivalent to body refiners. What are you afraid of?”

Han Fei couldn’t cultivate here without solving the threat of the Lizard Demons. Therefore, he had to confirm what mine demons were under the Mine Demon Stream and kill them first. Only by eliminating the hidden dangers could the Mine Demon Stream become his territory.








2555 Mine Demon Stream, Bloody Hand Mine Devil

The turbulent and directionless sea currents were raging in the Demonic Mine Stream.

Han Fei stepped into it and immediately felt many uncomfortable feelings.

On one hand, the directionless chaotic water current was like an irregular gravity space, but he immediately confirmed that it was probably the manifestation of the Great Dao of Water.

On the other, the water currents in the Mine Demon Stream were similar to the Desolation Water, but stronger. This water current was extremely cold, had a strong impact, and was very corrosive. Below the Sky Opening realm, or rather, when one’s physique hadn’t reached a certain level, he would be corroded by these water currents.

Soon, Han Fei felt that there was a lot of special power here, which might be the so-called power contained in the minerals.

This power was stronger than the ultra-quality spiritual stones used to explore the Origin Sea. After all, ultra-quality spiritual stones were completely incomparable to the minerals here.

The mines that Han Fei harvested in the past were much worse than what he saw here. The mines in the past were just ordinary mines, not even Level-one minerals. Occasionally, there were Level Two or Level Three minerals mixed in, which had greatly improved the quality of those mines.

However, from the looks of it, those resources of a hundred thousand kilometers might not even be comparable to the level-one mineral resources of ten or twenty thousand kilometers here.

The old turtle said, “Can you feel it? This is a perfect trial ground, a perfect place for training soldiers. If you don’t have enough resources, the problem can be resolved here. How troublesome was it for you to get even 10,000 kilometers of resources before? But here, you just need to casually absorb the power of the minerals, which would be equivalent to getting the resources of 10,000 kilometers.”

Han Fei nodded. This was also the most important feature of the Mine Demon Stream that could be used as a training ground.

Other factions needed to mine on their own, and most of the mines they dug out were ultra-quality spiritual stones and a few refined minerals.

But in the Mine Demon Stream, there was no need to dig at all. A Great Monarch had already excavated this place in the past. All he needed to do was to absorb and cultivate.

In fact, Han Fei couldn’t understand the saying that mineral veins had become spirits. In his opinion, mineral veins were resources that could be used to replenish the Origin Stars.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was a huge difference in resources.

Han Fei said indifferently, “Sea Establishers can’t enter. This is a training ground for Sky Openers. I only have about a hundred Sky Opening Realm subordinates. However, this place is indeed not bad. Once there are more Sky Opening Realm powerhouses in the Seven Kill Army, it can help them quickly reach the Star Transformation Realm.”

The old turtle said, “You have to walk step by step. I think you’ve walked fast enough. In such a short time, how many resources, weapons, and cultivation techniques have you given away? I didn’t find you a generous person before, but in my opinion, you’re a spendthrift now.”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “Those are my clansmen, my subordinates. I don’t need those resources for cultivation now. If I don’t give them to the Seven Kill Army, they will rot on my Origin Star. Also, you call that generous? There are still tens of millions of life metals on my Origin Star, as well as many resources I have earned over the years. I plan to spend all of these things as long as I can build an army of 100,000 peak-level Sea Establishers.”

The old turtle said, “You have no more than 100,000 people now.”

Han Fei said, “But those who survived are quickly becoming stronger. Now there are nearly 60,000 Sea Establishers. Besides, there must be hidden huma powerhouses in the City of Scavengers. Even if there aren’t, there are hundreds of millions of human beings under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers. The Seven Kill Army’s goal is 100,000. It doesn’t have to be 100,000 now.”

The old turtle didn’t refute Han Fei, because Han Fei knew that it was obviously impossible to build an army of 100,000 people with his resources. It would be difficult for him to build a thousand Sky Opening Realm soldiers, let alone 100,000.

Therefore, Han Fei’s short-term goal was to build an army of 100,000 peak-level Sea Establishers.

Suddenly, the Emperor Sparrow, who had been standing on Han Fei’s shoulder, said, “There’s an enemy.”

Han Fei and the old turtle’s expressions immediately changed slightly. They hadn’t sensed any danger. Although the Emperor Sparrow had upgraded by three levels in a row, he was only level 106 at this moment, which meant that he hadn’t reached the late-stage of the Star Transformation Realm yet. Could he already sense dangers that they couldn’t perceive?

Less than five seconds after the reminder, a blood-colored glint suddenly flashed from the chaotic water current.

Han Fei, who was already prepared, secretly activated his Great Dao and personally blocked this blood-colored sting. When it fell on his palm, Han Fei had the illusion that he was resisting the Instant Mystic Spear.

Han Fei said, “It’s the power of the Perfected Star Transformation Realm, but it should only be the kind of power that has just advanced to the Perfected Star Transformation Realm. We can only see the attack, not the person, and we didn’t notice it before the Emperor Sparrow reminded us, so it should still be some distance away from us. Then what is this blood-colored sting?”

Han Fei was about to study the bloody sting, but the sting suddenly softened and turned into a red root. Then, the color gradually faded and disappeared from Han Fei’s hand.

“Huh?”

Han Fei’s expression changed slightly. “This sting seems to be the root of a certain creature, and it can change color. It was hidden in the water before, drifting with the waves, so it wasn’t discovered by us. Old Yuan, are there demon plants in this Mine Demon Stream?”

The old turtle paused as if he was recalling something. Then he said with a little uncertainty, “I remember a demon plant that once appeared beside the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. It’s called the Demon Vanquishing Tree. But I don’t know him well. I’ve only seen it once. However, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be him. The Demon Vanquishing Tree can’t create a Lizard Demon. Besides, if it’s that Demon Vanquishing Tree, the power of one root is much stronger than this.”

The Emperor Sparrow said, “There’s a faint purifying power in this blood-colored root. It definitely has nothing to do with the Demonic Seeds on the Lizard Demons.”

Han Fei said, “We can’t rule out the possibility that the Demon Vanquishing Tree was partly demonized. Let’s go. I sense dozens of such attacks hidden in the surrounding turbulence. These roots are drifting and don’t have their own consciousness. Then their existence is definitely not aimed at us, but at the mine demons here.”

As the saying went, the skilled were bold. No one had been to a place like the Mine Demon Stream for millions of years, but Han Fei, the bird, and the soul dared to rush in.

When Han Fei and the others had only dived less than 200 kilometers, they had already seen mine demon creatures. A level-three mine demon first appeared in their vision.

These mine demons looked like fish with gold and silver lights intertwined on their bodies. They swam in the water like flashing lights. They were born from a soft golden jade mine and looked rich.

The level-three mineral was just the main material for refining low-quality Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures.

After Han Fei killed more than 300 Ribbon Fish, these Ribbon Fish refused to come over. Although they were mine demons and weren’t very smart, they had grown step by step by absorbing the power of minerals.

Seeing Han Fei kill one with a single slash, no one dared to run to Han Fei.

However, before Han Fei and the others dove five hundred kilometers, they encountered strange fish that were all colorful. Each of them had the power of the Star Transformation Realm or even the late-stage Star Transformation Realm. After Han Fei killed dozens of them, hundreds more came.

Han Fei proposed to force his way down, but this was not a wise choice, which was opposed by the old turtle.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “Forget it. Since they’re just mine demons with low intelligence, leave them to me!”

“Leave them to you?”

While Han Fei was puzzled, he saw the figure of the Emperor Sparrow quickly expand, and after a while, it turned into a ferocious bird that was tens of thousands of feet long and exuded a monstrous might.

As soon as this power appeared, the colorful mine demons immediately disappeared. They all ran away.

“Well…”

Han Fei looked at the Emperor Sparrow in shock. So this bird had the function of opening the way?

Ignoring Han Fei’s gaze, the Emperor Sparrow said indifferently, “This suppression comes from the depths of the soul. In fact, if you can raise your bloodline and increase your pressure and killing intent, you might be able to scare them away too.”

The old turtle didn’t speak on the side, but he was shocked in his heart. As expected of the leader of fierce beasts. The mine demons were the kind of creatures who were extremely insensitive to pressure. Even if it was the pressure of a Monarch, they would probably ignore it.

However, with the inherent bloodline suppression of the Emperor Sparrow, even these mine demons with low intelligence were awed.

Three thousand kilometers deep in the Demonic Mine Stream.

Han Fei and the others had experienced mine demons of level three, level four and level five. When the mine demons reached level five, they were at least in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. The total number was inestimable. Han Fei estimated that there should be more than 50,000.

And this was nothing. It wasn’t until Han Fei and the others came to the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream that they realized that something had probably happened to Puppet City. This was because it was red everywhere, and dozens of blood-colored hands were floating in midair. Yes, there were only arms and palms. God knew why these Mine Demons looked like this.

And on half of these blood-colored arms, there was a small Flash Lizard.

The old turtle exclaimed, “Bloody Hand Mine Devil? Was the Great Monarch Bloody Hand and Great Monarch Mystic Martial at war?”

 







2556 Mystic Martial Monarch Armor

Those blood-colored hands, each only dozens of feet long, floated at the bottom of the sea, absorbing the power of the mineral essence gathered from all directions.

After Han Fei and the others arrived, the bloody hand closest to them trembled slightly, bent its fingers, and changed its direction.

When the bloody hand twisted over, the Flash Lizard lying on it, or to be exact, the Flash Lizard that was undergoing mutation, suddenly opened its eyes.

The Emperor Sparrow said, “I sense some ominous vibe from this bloody hand.”

“The ominous?”

Han Fei and the old turtle were both a little stunned. Han Fei even lost his voice. The ominous had already reached the Sea Realm?

Han Fei asked, “Who is the Great Monarch Bloody Hand? What’s his relationship with these bloody hands? Why are these Flash Lizards lying on them?”

The old turtle said, “Great Monarch Bloody Hand was also a Great Monarch in the Infinite Mining Area. He walked a special path and tempered a pair of bloody hands. It’s said that his hands once shook gods. But what do these Flash Lizards have to do with bloody hands? I really don’t know! It seems that the Flash Lizards are mutating. This must be the origin of the Lizard Demons.”

The Emperor Sparrow: “It seems that the Great Monarch Bloody Hand has been killed! But why are there so many hands here?”

At this moment, the bloody hand closest to him opened its palm and grabbed at Han Fei as if it had eyes.

It couldn’t be helped. One was a bird, standing on Han Fei’s shoulder, and the other was a soul and was not eye-catching standing beside Han Fei. Only Han Fei was the most obvious target.

Han Fei had already grabbed the old turtle and retreated when the bloody hand moved, but the speed of the bloody hand was extremely fast, which reminded him of something.

“Hiss! The speed of the Flash Lizards? No, it’s faster than a normal Flash Lizard. It’s close to the speed of light explosion.”

Han Fei suddenly felt that he understood something. Hands didn’t have eyes, but the Flash Lizards did. When the two were combined, it was equivalent to hands having eyes.

Buzz!

Han Fei had some experience with the Lizard Demons. He immediately set up a time deceleration barrier and activated his Great Dao. At the same time, he took out the Blood Drinking Knife, ready to fight at any time.

At this moment, the five fingers of the bloody hand easily penetrated the time barrier set up by Han Fei. Han Fei pushed out with one hand and the Infinity Water God-Sealing Spear met the attack head-on.

At the same time, information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.

<Name > Bloody Hand Mine Devil

<Introduction > The essence blood of a Great Monarch contaminated with the ominous power blended with the minerals here, and as the bloodline consciousness was slightly restored, a Bloody Hand Mine Devil was born. Therefore, the essence blood contained a large amount of ominous power, so the hand turned into a devil. The Bloody Hand Mine Devils have a trace of the negative consciousness of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand and would kill ruthlessly. They try to combine the power of Flash Lizards with themselves to break through the Mine Demon Stream and reach the outside world.

<Level > 109

<Quality > Level-Seven Mine Devil

<Realm > Perfected Star Transformation Realm

<Battle Technique> Bloody Claw, Fatal Fist, Universe Mastery

<Collectible > Level-7 mineral

<Absorbable >

<Note > Destroying the Flash Lizards on them can greatly reduce the combat power of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.

“Sh*t!”

Han Fei couldn’t have felt worse. He had thought that the Lizard Demon was already very strong. As a level-six mine demon, the physique of the Lizard Demon didn’t feel much weaker than his.

How long had it been since then? He had already met a level-seven mine devil. With a token made of level-six mineral, one could establish his own faction in the Infinite Mining Area. With a level-seven mineral token, one already had the strength of the top 100 in the Infinite Mining Area.

However, Han Fei didn’t think about the level-seven token immediately. He was surprised to see that the God Sealing Spear formed by the Infinity Water was meant to suppress the bloody hand. However, the other party clenched its fist at the last moment and unleashed the so-called Killing Fist.

Rumble!

The God Sealing Spear and the fist mark collided. Like an earth-shaking explosion, it triggered a riot under the Mine Demon Stream, and the power instantly swept across hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

“Not good! Let’s go!”

Han Fei’s face changed greatly. He lifted the old turtle with one hand and rushed up the Mine Demon Stream.

While walking, Han Fei said, “Although this Bloody Hand doesn’t have much consciousness, he knows how to awaken other Bloody Hands. Damn it, one of them is already a level-seven Mine Devil. If dozens of them come, we might be torn apart.”

The Emperor Sparrow: “They’re already here. Be careful.”

Buzz!

When the bloody hands jumped and flashed over, Han Fei felt terrible, because this was the ability of the Flash Lizards. Although these Flash Lizards hadn’t turned into Lizard Demons yet, their abilities had been strengthened by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, so they immediately jumped in front of him.

At that moment, as many as seven or eight Slaughtering Fists, Universe Palms, Bloody Claws, and so on instantly attacked Han Fei.

“Son of a b*tch, do you think I’m easy to bully?”

“Roar! Silencing Fist!”

Rumble…

Knock! Knock!

Clang!

“Puff ~”

In the chaotic battle, Han Fei vomited a mouthful of blood and was sent flying in the Mine Demon Stream. Beside him, the old turtle was still in a state of shock. His demonic energy blocked the bloody claws of one of the bloody hands, but the Emperor Sparrow didn’t panic. It had already activated the Frenzying Eye. At this moment, three bloody hands seemed to have fallen into madness.

As for the Emperor Sparrow, it had already disappeared and appeared near the three bloody hands. It unfolded its wings and stood upright in the violent turbulence, opening its mouth as if swallowing some kind of power.

Han Fei glanced at it and the corner of his mouth twitched. This guy actually ran over at this time to swallow the ominous power of the bloody hands?

The old turtle exclaimed, “This bloody hand seems to be contaminated with the aura of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. It can shake my Yang Soul.”

On Han Fei’s side, he instantly deprived three Flash Lizards of their consciousness, and the three Bloody Hand Mine Devils immediately lost their direction. Seeing this, Han Fei looked at the depths of the Mine Demon Stream and shouted, “Let’s go. It’s not time for dinner. Let’s come back in a few days.”

The Emperor Sparrow was slightly regretful to hear that, but he also felt that some bloody hands jumped and flashed over. Immediately, it unwillingly turned into a ray of light and entered Han Fei’s body. At this moment, when Han Fei stepped into the river of time, he saw seven or eight more bloody hands appear and follow him into the river of time.

Fortunately, the Mine Demon Stream was only three thousand kilometers deep, so Han Fei escaped in the blink of an eye.

But those bloody hands were not slow at all, almost one step away from Han Fei.

Han Fei had thought that he had to keep running even if he escaped from the Mine Demon Stream. But the moment he stepped out of the Mine Demon Stream, a huge turtle shell phantom suddenly appeared between the heavens and earth.

Han Fei, who hadn’t run away yet, heard the old turtle shout next to him, “It’s the Mystic Martial Monarch Armor. Great Monarch Mystic Martial has suppressed the Mine Demon Stream. We don’t have to run anymore.”

“Huh?”

Han Fei was stunned, but when he looked back, he saw seven or eight bloody hands following him. Because the speed was too fast, they couldn’t stop. With a jump, they flashed and jumped directly to the turtle shell seal.

Crack ~

Crack ~

Dazzling mystic light burst out of the Mystic Martial Monarch Armor, which was somewhat similar to the divine brilliance of the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique. However, the light of the Mystic Martial Monarch Armor was green. As this light flashed continuously, the seven or eight bloody hands all cracked and shattered. Only the Flash Lizards that hadn’t completely evolved rushed out of the Mine Demon Stream.

“Huh!”

Han Fei was quite surprised to see this scene.

“They can’t get out of the Mine Demon Stream. This Mystic Martial Monarch Armor is specifically targeted at these bloody hands. However, the Flash Lizards are not suppressed, so they can come out.”

Immediately, Han Fei understood why there were Lizard Demons outside. It was because the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had been sealed or killed and couldn’t come out, but the Lizard Demons could.

The Flash Lizards were not very strong, so Han Fei killed them easily. Han Fei quickly grabbed his fishing rod. These seven or eight Bloody Hand Mine Devils were already dead, but the level-seven minerals on them couldn’t be wasted. These minerals were priceless outside. These level-seven minerals might be able to be exchanged for dozens of refined stars in the Hundred Alliance City.

In the end, Han Fei caught 7 pieces of level-seven and 13 pieces of level-six minerals. The other minerals were nowhere to be found.

“Huff~”

Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, he calmed down and summoned the Emperor Sparrow again.

The Emperor Sparrow was a little puzzled. “You’re not escaping so soon?”

Han Fei pointed at the Mystic Martial Monarch Armor in the sky that hadn’t disappeared yet and said, “The Great Monarch has sealed them in the Mine Demon Stream. We don’t have to worry about them appearing outside.”

The Emperor Sparrow looked over and suddenly asked, “Are the cracks on this turtle shell normal?”

“Huh?”

Han Fei and the old turtle looked at the Mystic Martial Monarch Armor again, only to see some incomprehensible cracks and lines on it. However, some of the cracks were especially obvious, which didn’t seem to match the turtle shell Dao patterns endowed by the Heavenly Dao.

The old turtle’s expression changed. “Not good. Those cracks are not shell patterns. It must have been too long, so the Great Monarch’s seal has loosened.”

Han Fei’s heart, which had just calmed down, became anxious again. “It has loosened? Doesn’t it mean that it can collapse at any time?”

The old turtle studied it for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. The main turtle patterns are fine, but its original power may have been reduced by about 50%. However, it will definitely be fine to suppress the bloody hands for another 100,000 years.”

“Huff!”

Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s fine if it can last for another hundreds of thousands of years. Okay, it’s too dangerous below the Mine Demon Stream. God knows how many Bloody Hand Mine Devils there are down there. If we go down now, we’ll only be looking for trouble. Fortunately, we didn’t go deep this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

The Emperor Sparrow: “I need their ominous power and demonic energy.”

Han Fei said, “Let’s take it slow. Let’s settle down here for the time being and search around to see if there are any Lizard Demons left. We’ll consider the Mine Demon Stream after we wipe out all the Lizard Demons outside.”

The Emperor Sparrow nodded slightly. This was not a bad idea. After all, Han Fei didn’t deliberately look for the Lizard Demons when he came.

The old turtle was a little anxious. “Then what about the Mine Demon Stream? If I can’t break through the Mine Demon Stream, I can’t enter Puppet City. If I can’t enter Puppet City, I definitely won’t be able to find a way to restore my body.”

Han Fei said, “Don’t be hasty. You have the Yang Soul body, so what are you afraid of? Don’t be hasty. We’re outnumbered by them. Just because we can’t break through the Mine Demon Stream now doesn’t mean we can’t forever. Let me train my soldiers here while I try breaking it. It’s better to take it slow.”










2557 Who Are You?

Three years later.

The Seven Kill Army had disappeared for three years, and no one could find out any news about them. Some people even thought that Han Fei had secretly left the Infinite Mining Area.

Outside the Mine Demon Stream, there were about 20,000 battlefields.

In the Mine Demon Stream, there were nearly 200 battlefields for Sky Openers.

At this moment, in a certain battlefield that had calmed down, several peak-level Sea Establishers were sitting cross-legged on the ground, panting. They were not cultivating, but chatting.

This short rest was a rare break in their day, so they were especially enjoying it.

One of them said, “It’s been three years. How many times has Master Human Emperor explored the Mine Demon Stream? Even Master Human Emperor has to explore it so many times. How dangerous is it there?”

Someone sneered. “Yes! Those below the Sky Opening Realm aren’t even qualified to enter the Mine Demon Stream. I heard from the Sky Opening Realm powerhouses that most of them can only move about 200 kilometers deep into the Mine Demon Stream. It’s said that there are many Sky Opening Realm mine demons there. However, it seems that the Mine Demon Stream is more than 3,000 kilometers deep. That’s where the Human Emperor went.”

Someone sighed. “No matter what the secret is, since Master Human Emperor went down there frequently, that place can’t stop him. However, there are too many mine demons outside the Mine Demon Stream to be killed! Should we just directly transcend the tribulation?”

“Heh! Tribulation Transcendence! Do you forget what Master Human Emperor said? Those whose physique and soul are not strong enough are not allowed to transcend tribulation at will. I heard that Lord Hong Yue has set three standards for all those who are going to transcend tribulation. Firstly, those who haven’t stayed at the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm for five hundred years are not allowed to transcend tribulation. Secondly, those who haven’t mastered the Purity Mystic Body are not allowed to transcend tribulation. Thirdly, those whose bloodline hasn’t advanced to a Heavenly Bloodline are not allowed to transcend tribulation… Heh, so in the past three years,no more than 50 people have transcended tribulation in total.”

Everyone sighed. “This is too difficult. Even if we keep suppressing our breakthroughs, there are still more than 65,000 Sea Establishment Realm powerhouses. If we wait another eight or ten years, I really suspect that it won’t be a problem for all of us to advance to the Sea Establishment Realm.”

Someone replied with a smile, “Entering the Sea Establishment Realm isn’t the key. I heard that the first goal of Master Human Emperor is for all of us to advance to the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm. Even Master Human Emperor doesn’t expect all of us to transcend the tribulation now, so how can it be so simple? But we are already at the peak of the Sea Establishment Realm now. When we meet the conditions in the future, it is said that our success rate of transcending the tribulation can be as high as 70% or even 80%.”

Someone laughed. “Now that you mention it, I’m immediately motivated. Let’s go and fight the mine demons for another thirty thousand rounds.”

“Let’s go together!”

“Together.”

“…”

Inside and outside the Mine Demon Stream, the battles were in full swing.

At the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, a black mist body was sneaking at the bottom of the water. The place he approached was a lone Bloody Hand Mine Devil.

Suddenly, a mirror appeared, and the Bloody Hand Mine Devil and the Flash Lizard disappeared at the same time.

In the Mirror of Infinity, Han Fei immediately used the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique. The divine brilliance was replicated and overlapped countless times through the mirror and fell on the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.

In an instant, the demonic might on the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was cleansed by the divine brilliance.

The Bloody Hand Mine Devil was about to show its might, but it was stunned when its demonic might was suddenly purified. The Flash Lizard tried to control the Bloody Hand Mine Devil, but in the next moment, it was chopped into pieces by countless saber beams, including the Bloody Hand Mine Devil.

At the moment when the Bloody Hand Mine Devil perished, a voice appeared in Han Fei’s mind. The Emperor Sparrow said, “It’s a pity to waste this ominous power and demonic energy.”

Han Fei said, “There are a lot of Bloody Hand Mine Devils here. We can’t just look at the surface. What’s a mere Bloody Hand Mine Devil worth? In the past three years of exploration, we’ve found no less than ten thousand Bloody Hand Mine Devils. In addition to the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, there should also be the Demon Vanquishing Tree that the old turtle mentioned. It’s easy to hide from the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but difficult to hide from the Demon Vanquishing Tree. This time, we’re the closest to our target. We can’t lose sight of the bigger picture because of the small gain.”

The Emperor Sparrow snorted and didn’t deny it.

Yes, in the past three years, Han Fei dove into the Mine Demon Stream no less than a hundred times. At first, he was really shocked by the number of Bloody Hand Mine Devils. But later, Han Fei discovered that what was even more difficult to deal with than the Bloody Hand Mine Devils was a water-shaped vine. It could turn into a water vein and flow with the waves. If he wasn’t careful, even his black mist body would be discovered by this thing.

It was only because Han Fei had thoroughly explored the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream that he could dive down here. Otherwise, he would probably still be lingering near the entrance.

On this trip, Han Fei had been lurking here for seven days. After going millions of kilometers deep into the Mine Demon Stream, he finally felt some water currents flowing similar to breathing.

Why were there so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils at the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream, as well as the Demon Vanquishing Tree that was supposed to follow Great Monarch Mystic Martial? It was still unknown.

The old turtle once said that Han Fei must see the Demon Vanquishing Tree because he knew it. Then the Demon Vanquishing Tree would be on his side, which was why Han Fei dared to walk forward at the risk of being discovered by the roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree.

He had considered that something might have happened to the Demon Vanquishing Tree, but at least for now, the vines of the Demon Vanquishing Tree were the kind of scattered vines that were unconscious and only attacked outsiders instinctively.

Therefore, he had to see the Demon Vanquishing Tree first.

Another day passed.

After avoiding hundreds of Bloody Hand Mine Devils and Demon Vanquishing Tree vines, Han Fei finally came to the place with undulating water veins.

When Han Fei saw thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils surrounding a blood-colored spring, the spring was rising and falling as if it were breathing.

The Bloody Hand Mine Devils that surrounded the spring were scattered around the spring as if they were absorbing the power of the spring. Even Han Fei was tempted when he saw the spring.

Because the spring water seemed to be magical, he couldn’t help but want to approach it.

In the middle of the blood spring, there seemed to be a huge bloody hand. After seeing that thing, Han Fei suddenly sobered up.

“That’s not right!”

Han Fei was shocked. There must be something wrong with this blood spring. Remembering that the Great Monarch Bloody Hand was contaminated by the ominous, he immediately guessed something. If his guess was correct, this blood spring should be the essence blood of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, mixed with the ominous power, and sprinkled in the Mine Demon Stream for some reason, producing so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils.

At this moment, on the huge bloody hand in the middle of the spring, there was a Lizard Demon, not a Flash Lizard.

Han Fei was secretly surprised. Is a Great Monarch so f*cking awesome? Just a pool of his essence blood can create so many level-seven mine demons? And it can even modify Flash Lizards?

Han Fei had an urge to purify this blood spring, but this idea only appeared for a short while before it was dropped. Not to mention how much vitality was needed to purify the ominous power in this blood spring, with these thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils here, if he dared to attack, he might be chased by these Bloody Hand Mine Devils to death in the next moment.

Therefore, Han Fei thought about it again and again. Even if he wanted to take action, now wasn’t the time. He hadn’t seen Puppet City or the Demon Vanquishing Tree yet, so he couldn’t distinguish friend from foe.

His goal was not the blood pool, but Puppet City. It was one thing to help the old turtle find resources to rebuild his body, but he also wanted to see if there were any treasures left from the Age of the Gods.

After all, it was a city that no one had been to for millions of years. It would be weird if there was nothing there.

Without disturbing these Bloody Hand Mine Devils, Han Fei quietly circumvented them.

During this half day, he suddenly discovered that there were more invisible water veins, which meant that there were more roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. With his previous experience, Han Fei himself was like flowing water, flowing with the waves, trying not to attract the attention of these roots.

God knew how careful Han Fei was. According to the old turtle, the strength of the Demon Vanquishing Tree was not low. It should be a Monarch.

Finally, after half a day, Han Fei felt some strong energy fluctuations.

“Huh? Why can’t I feel such strong energy waves when I’m outside?”

When Han Fei approached, he discovered that some Bloody Hand Mine Devils were attacking a light green barrier. There were at least eight hundred of them in total, and they occasionally attacked the barrier for unknown reasons.

However, this kind of attack was intermittent. Besides, Han Fei saw that when a Bloody Hand Mine Devil hit the barrier, only less than 30% of its power escaped, and the other 70% sank into the barrier and disappeared without a trace.

After the Bloody Hand Mine Devil bombarded it, a green branch visible to the naked eye extended out of the spiritual barrier and pierced through the Bloody Hand Mine Devil in an instant, stabbing it and the Flash Lizard that was attached to it to death.

Then, Han Fei saw a purifying power burst out of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s body. Different from the purifying divine brilliance of the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique, it was a special purifying power with vitality.

“Spiritual barrier, Demon Vanquishing Tree. Is this Puppet City?”

Han Fei was very sure that this was definitely the Demon Vanquishing Tree. Han Fei knew very well how strong the defense power of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils was. In terms of pure one-on-one combat, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil could probably fight him for three hundred rounds.

However, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was easily penetrated and purified by the branch, which showed how strong the branch was.

At this moment, the barrier blocked Han Fei’s vision, so he couldn’t see what was inside. He only knew that this battle line was quite long, and the area blocked by the barrier spanned thousands of kilometers.

Just as Han Fei didn’t know how to cross the barrier or communicate with the Demon Vanquishing Tree, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. “Who is it?”










2558 Demon Vanquishing Tree

“Who is it? Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, is that you?”

Han Fei was shocked. The only one that could discover him when he appeared with his black-mist body must be the Demon Vanquishing Tree.

After all, he had been discovered by the unconscious roots of the Demon Vanquishing Tree from the beginning.

The voice was silent for a long time, as if recalling the name of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. After a long while, it replied, “Who are you? How do you know the existence of the Demon Vanquishing Tree?”

Han Fei immediately said, “Well… I’m a good friend of the Emperor Yuan. Do you know him? Uh…”

While chatting with it, Han Fei asked the old turtle in his Origin Star, “Old Yuan, come on, tell me your real name. I met the Demon Vanquishing Tree. He asked me who I was. How should I answer him? Tell me your name.”

The old turtle said in shock, “The Demon Vanquishing Tree is still here?”

Han Fei asked, “Cut the crap. What’s your real name?”

The old turtle said, “Yuan, Yuan Biao! Why don’t you let me out? I’ll talk to him.”

However, Han Fei gave him no response.

Outside, Han Fei said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, you had once met Emperor Yuan, Yuan Biao, right? Old Yuan once said that he was good friends with Great Monarch Mystic Martial. You know this, right?”

Han Fei thought to himself, The old turtle can’t be lying about this, right? After all, before he came, he had already guessed that the Demon Vanquishing Tree might still be here. Besides, Old Yuan had said that he had once met the Demon Vanquishing Tree. In any case, they are old acquaintances, so he wouldn’t attack me.

However, the Demon Vanquishing Tree replied, “No, I don’t know him.”

“Huh!”

Han Fei was dumbfounded. This damn Old Yuan is bragging again! Why did he brag to me about such an important matter?!

However, in the next moment, the Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “Although I’m the Demon Vanquishing Tree, I’m no longer the one that followed Great Monarch Mystic Martial. To be precise, I’m the great-grandson of that Demon Vanquishing Tree.”

“Huh?”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment. He rolled his eyes and said, “How can that be? Old Yuan said that Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree can survive until now! Besides, he used to be in charge of Puppet City. Why did he leave? And why are you guarding Puppet City?”

When Han Fei said “Puppet City”, the Demon Vanquishing Tree, who was about to attack, immediately put away his killing intent. He didn’t expect that in this era, there was still someone who could mention the name “Puppet City”.

Since the visitor knew that this was Puppet City, knew that Puppet City was controlled by the Demon Vanquishing Tree, and knew that the Demon Vanquishing Tree used to follow Great Monarch Mystic Martial, this alone was enough for him to restrain his attacks.

Of course, the Demon Vanquishing Tree wasn’t sure if Han Fei was an enemy or a friend. After all, he couldn’t completely trust Han Fei with just this bit of information.

Besides, he had never heard the name Yuan Biao before. Besides, that person didn’t come at all!

The Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “Human, why did you come to Puppet City a million years later and mention an old friend? Tell me, what’s your purpose?”

Han Fei asked, “Senior, do you really not know Yuan Biao? He used to be a close friend of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial! Now, I’m here because something happened to Old Yuan. But in the past, Old Yuan left some trump cards in Puppet City. Now, he’s here to save his own life. Senior, can you let me in to talk? Old Yuan is in my Origin Star. I can get him to come out to tell you in person. However, if I appear outside this barrier, I will definitely cause a battle. I hope Senior can understand.”

“That person is here?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was skeptical, but he quickly said, “How can I believe you or that person?”

Han Fei immediately said, “It’s not difficult at all. Old Yuan is a good friend of Great Monarch Mystic Martial. Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s dream was to lay eggs and give birth to many little turtles. She believed that there would always be one of the turtles who could become a god. Is this matter secret enough? Think about it, if he wasn’t very close to Great Monarch Mystic Martial, how could he know such a secret?”

“Well…”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was a little doubtful, but Great Monarch Mystic Martial had indeed laid a lot of eggs. Some of them hadn’t hatched yet.

But the Demon Vanquishing Tree still asked, “What else?”

In Han Fei’s Origin Star, the old turtle said, “And the Great Monarch Mystic Martial is a woman. Very few people know about this. It just so happens that the former Demon Vanquishing Tree knew about it. Han Fei, you can’t tell others about this!”

“Uh?”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “Old Yuan! You must be slow-witted after you become a Yang soul. You said that Great Monarch Mystic Martial likes to lay eggs. How can she lay eggs if she is male?”

The old turtle said, “Puff! What are you thinking? Do you think the eggs are really ‘laid’? When one becomes a Great Monarch, he will only choose to leave behind seeds. Egg laying is just an explanation. No one will think that eggs can only be laid by women. It’s just that the turtles maintain their heritage by leaving behind turtle eggs. When it’s the right time, little turtles will break out of their egg shells.”

“Oh, oh! You turtle race is really messy…”

Han Fei didn’t think that this so-called secret could fool the Demon Vanquishing Tree.

Therefore, the corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched, and he said to the Demon Vanquishing Tree in embarrassment, “Old Yuan said that Great Monarch Mystic Martial is a woman.”

Buzz!

To Han Fei’s surprise, the barrier suddenly trembled, and hundreds of green branches extended out from inside.

Then, a message came to Han Fei’s ears. “Come in and talk.”

“Well…”

Han Fei thought to himself, Is this matter worth being so surprised about? The thinking of turtles is indeed different from that of humans. No matter which race it is, the one who can give birth to a baby is a female. Isn’t this a matter of course? What’s so shocking about this?

But Han Fei was not stupid. Since he had successfully tricked this Demon Vanquishing Tree and could enter Puppet City now, wouldn’t he be a fool if he didn’t enter?

The abnormal movement of the Demon Vanquishing Tree startled the nearby Bloody Hand Mine Devils. They thought that the tree was going to attack them, so they began to escape.

However, this strange movement only lasted for less than two seconds before it ended. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

What these Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t know was that the barrier that they hadn’t been able to enter for millions of years had just been entered by an outsider.

Buzz!

Han Fei, who had entered the spiritual barrier, was also shocked. He had entered so easily?

The moment Han Fei entered the barrier, he saw an ancient tree that reminded him of the Cloud Sea Divine Tree in the Water-Wood World.

Although this ancient tree was not even as big as the Cloud Sea Divine Tree, it looked like a smaller version of the Cloud Sea Divine Tree, about 1% the size of the Cloud Sea Divine Tree.

Even so, the canopy stretched out, covering an area of about five thousand kilometers.

However, there was one thing. The area of the barrier below the Mine Demon Stream was only about a thousand kilometers, but the coverage of the Demon Vanquishing Tree here was so large. The internal and external spaces were clearly inconsistent!

At this moment, Han Fei saw that the leaves of the Demon Vanquishing Branch extended into an unknown place from the void. Han Fei could feel power flowing out of those leaves.

Apart from the Demon Vanquishing Tree, Han Fei could see all kinds of buildings that covered a large area, all the way to the bottom of a city wall.

At the gate of the city, two big words hung high. They were “Puppet City”. When Han Fei glanced at the two words, he felt his soul tremble as if it was expelled by an inexplicable power.

The Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “It’s left by the Great Monarch. You can’t peep at it.”

When the Demon Vanquishing Tree spoke, Han Fei immediately cupped his hands. “I’m Han Fei from the human race. Nice to meet you, Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree.”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree asked leisurely, “Where is the person you mentioned who knew the former Demon Vanquishing Tree and Great Monarch Mystic Martial?”

With a thought from Han Fei, a phantom of mountains and rivers appeared, and the old turtle stepped out of Han Fei’s Origin Star. When the old turtle appeared, he looked around and couldn’t help but sigh. “The buildings are empty! In the past, the outer city of Puppet City was one of the busiest places in the Infinite Mining Area. This traffic is busy and strong masters are everywhere, and countless people stay here. Unfortunately, it’s almost rotten now. However, the Demon Vanquishing Tree is still here. I can’t help but sigh.”

A treeman appeared not far in front of Han Fei and the others. It was in the shape of an ordinary treeman, with a branch stuck diagonally in the top of its head, and its body seemed to have the skin of dead wood.

The treeman looked at the old turtle up and down. “A turtle, with only Yang Soul left… Senior, are you the person who served Great Monarch Mystic Martial with my ancestor?”

The old turtle smiled and said, “There’s no need to test me. Great Monarch Mystic Martial never liked to be served, so no one has ever served her. The Demon Vanquishing Tree in the past wasn’t serving her, but to help her guard the turtle eggs. As for me, Yuan Biao, I went through danger with Great Monarch Mystic Martial when we were young. We supported each other until we reached the Sea Establishment realm. Later, our views didn’t agree, so we parted ways. Therefore, even the Demon Vanquishing Tree in the past wasn’t very familiar with me. We just met a few times.”

Han Fei was a little surprised. The old turtle sounded a little arrogant. Did he really cultivate with Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Then why did he become like this while Mystic Martial became a Great Monarch?

“Hiss ~”

Suddenly, Han Fei was shocked. Wait, Is the old turtle really weak?

Not necessarily. If the old turtle was weak, could he be suppressed in the Godfiend Sea and chained there with countless chains? If he was weak, could he live a million years as he said? If he was weak, could he cultivate with Great Monarch Mystic Martial and reach the Sea Establishment realm together?

Just now, the old turtle said that he and Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s views didn’t agree. If Great Monarch Mystic Martial cultivated to become a Great Monarch through normal means, then the old turtle must have embarked on the path of extreme balance, which was the so-called demonic path. If the old turtle’s talent was similar to Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s, how far had he gone?

At this moment, the old turtle said, “Little Demon Vanquishing, although I’m not as strong as you now, I know a lot about the past. Even if I don’t know your ancestors well, I know some of the past. Come, let me tell you some stories…”

 








2559 Tricked

Perhaps the old turtle really had some special relationship with Great Monarch Mystic Martial in the past, so when he recalled the past at this moment, he not only fooled the Demon Vanquishing Tree, but also Han Fei.

However, Han Fei was wondering what the old turtle’s identity was. He had cultivated with Great Monarch Mystic Martial back then. Didn’t that mean their relationship was similar to his relationship with Zhang Xuanyu?

And Great Monarch Mystic Martial was already a Monarch back then. Then would the old turtle’s original body really be weak?

When the old turtle tricked the Demon Vanquishing Tree, saying that he knew a lot, from what Han Fei knew of the old turtle, he must have forgotten more.

At this moment, the old turtle said, “Little Demon Vanquishing, what realm are you in now? Perhaps I can help you go further.”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “Senior, I’ve already entered the Carefree level. Unfortunately, my growth was built on the life essence passed down from my father and grandfather. In fact, on the day I proved Dao, my advancement was already very slow. After entering the Carefree level, I can barely feel my strength growing.”

The old turtle said leisurely, “That doesn’t make sense! How many years have you cultivated?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree replied honestly, “It’s been 390,000 years.”

The old turtle took a deep look at him and said, “Logically speaking, if you enjoy Puppet City alone, plus the jade transformation technique of your ancestors, you should have reached the peak of the Carefree level at least after such a long time. You might even be about to enter the immortal-level. Why did you stop at the Carefree level?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was a little puzzled. “Jade Transformation Technique? What is that?”

The old turtle looked at the Demon Vanquishing Tree in shock. “Wait, you don’t know the Jade Transformation Technique?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree seemed to sigh. “Should I know?”

The old turtle shook his head slightly. “No wonder your realm has stagnated. You can step into the Carefree level. It seems that it’s entirely because you’re guarding Puppet City, so you have almost endless resources. However, your Demon Vanquishing Tree Monarch-level technique failed to be inherited by you. What happened in the past that you couldn’t inherit such an important thing?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “I don’t know! My father just asked me to guard this city. He said that one day, Great Monarch Mystic Martial would definitely return, so the city must be guarded.”

Han Fei was shocked to hear that. Did Great Monarch Mystic Martial go out for a million years? What did she do?

The old turtle rolled his eyes. “There’s still a chance. The jade transformation technique of your ancestors was found by Great Monarch Mystic Martial outside. It’s said that it came from the South Sea Divine Realm. Therefore, if you have seen Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s bedroom, you might be able to find this technique. At that time, I don’t dare say that you’ll grow rapidly, but you will definitely not stagnate again.”

When the Demon Vanquishing Tree heard that the old turtle wanted to check the sleeping chamber of Great Monarch Mystic Martial, he hurriedly said, “That won’t do! How can you enter Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s sleeping chamber? That’s the only forbidden area in Puppet City now. Not to mention me, even my ancestors haven’t entered Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s sleeping chamber.”

Han Fei was surprised. So the Great Monarch’s palace was still there?

The old turtle continued. “Stupid, you don’t even know where she went, but you refused others to enter her palace. What if there is something very important in this palace? What if Mystic Martial is waiting for you to save her? But if you don’t go to her palace to take a look, how do you know what information she left for you?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “My father said that Great Monarch Mystic Martial left in a hurry. Because of Great Monarch Bloody Hand’s sudden request for help, Great Monarch Mystic Martial left with Great Monarch Bloody Hand before she could even give an explanation. Since then, we haven’t heard from her.”

Upon hearing this, Han Fei hurriedly said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, is the blood spring outside Puppet City left by the Great Monarch Bloody Hand?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “That’s right! When Great Monarch Bloody Hand came, he lost an arm. Great Monarch Mystic Martial ordered my ancestor to suppress that arm outside Puppet City, saying that she would deal with it when she came back. However, Great Monarch Mystic Martial never returned, and my ancestor didn’t have a way to completely cleanse this bloody hand, so he could only suppress it here. Until now, I dare not leave at all. Otherwise, this spring water will nurture countless ferocious creatures that keep trying to break into Puppet City.”

This Demon Vanquishing Tree wasn’t the first-generation Demon Vanquishing Trees, so it knew too little about what happened back then.

For example, why the Great Monarch Bloody Hand came to Great Monarch Mystic Martial for help, why Great Monarch Mystic Martial asked the Demon Vanquishing Tree to suppress the broken arm, and what they did later.

But in fact, these were not the most important things. The purpose of this trip was to reconstruct the old turtle’s body and to hunt for treasures.

Although the Demon Vanquishing Tree seemed to be friendly, judging from his attitude towards Great Monarch Mystic Martial, he didn’t even allow them to enter the Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s palace. If they took the egg of Great Monarch Mystic Martial, would he allow it?

Sure enough, although the old turtle was a little curious about what happened back then, he knew what he was here for. Therefore, Han Fei heard the old turtle say, “Little Demon Vanquishing! As you can see, I won’t keep it a secret from you. I’m here to find Mystic Martial’s egg. I only have the Yang Soul left now. I can’t go on like this. Therefore, I need to borrow her egg to be reborn…”

“That won’t do!”

Before the old turtle finished speaking, the Demon Vanquishing Tree had already refused.

However, the Demon Vanquishing Tree’s words made Han Fei and the old turtle realize that there were indeed Mystic Martial’s eggs in Puppet City.

The old turtle’s face immediately darkened. “Little Demon Vanquishing, with my relationship with Mystic Martial, I can easily get a turtle egg. I’ve told you so much today. Do you think I’m lying to you, or am I up to no good?”

However, the Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “Neither. I believe you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to know the deeds of Great Monarch Mystic Martial and my ancestors so clearly. But that’s a separate matter. You can have other requests, such as borrowing the power of minerals. Senior, you can use it however you want. However, Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s egg is her life inheritance. How can I give it away so easily?”

The old turtle said loudly, “Great Monarch Mystic Martial and I were close friends in the past. She laid countless eggs in her life. If I ask her, how can she not give one to me?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree’s branches and leaves trembled. “That won’t do either! No matter how close you are to Great Monarch Mystic Martial, if you want to take her life inheritance, you have to get Great Monarch Mystic Martial’s permission first.”

The old turtle was so angry that his mouth was crooked. “She hasn’t appeared for millions of years. Where can I find her? Little Demon Vanquishing, you have to be more flexible. Perhaps you can obtain the Jade Transformation Technique and continue cultivating to reach the immortal-level. Do you know that once you reach the immortal-level, you will catch up with your ancestor? In addition to the unique resources of Puppet City, perhaps within 100,000 years, you will have a chance to become a Great Monarch!”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was silent for a few seconds, but in the end, it replied, “Sorry, Senior. I should stick to my original intentions. Even if I can’t reach the Immortal Level, I can’t pry into the Great Monarch’s privacy.”

Han Fei finally realized that this was a stubborn ass.

However, there was always room for maneuver. Han Fei said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, may I have a word?”

Hearing Han Fei’s words, the old turtle gave Han Fei several looks because he knew how eloquent this guy was.

Han Fei ignored the old turtle’s gaze and looked out of the city. “Senior Demon Vanquishing, you should know that cracks have already appeared in the barrier of the Mine Demon Stream, right? And there are more than one.”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “Yes, it’s been too long, so the seal is inevitably loosening. However, the seal of the Mine Demon Stream was laid by my ancestor with the silkworm molting of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial, so although it’s a little rotten now, it won’t be difficult to withstand another 100,000 years.”

Han Fei said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, you should know how powerful these Bloody Hand Mine Devils are, right? Although they haven’t proven Dao yet, they have the strength to fight the lowest-level Dao Prover. And there are tens of thousands of such Bloody Hand Mine Devils under the Mine Demon Stream. If they charge at Puppet City or collectively charge at the barrier in the Mine Demon Stream, how long do you think you can defend with this barrier?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree replied straightforwardly, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid the seal will be broken in less than ten thousand years. At that time, even I won’t be able to kill tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils at once.”

Han Fei said, “Senior, let’s not talk about whether or not the Bloody Hand Mine Devils are going to attack the city. Even if you can hold on for a hundred thousand years, what about a hundred thousand years later? If you can’t hold on then, you and Puppet City will be penetrated by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils and corroded by them. At that time, do you think these Bloody Hand Mine Devils will let go of Puppet City? Will they let go of the palace of Great Monarch Mystic Martial?”

Seeing that the Demon Vanquishing Tree seemed to be thinking, Han Fei said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing Tree, in any case, this place can last at most another hundred thousand years. How about this? If I can help you get rid of this blood spring, can you give me a turtle egg?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree still wanted to say something, but the old turtle said angrily, “Little Demon Vanquishing, think about it carefully. Once Puppet City is conquered, all the turtle eggs will be destroyed, and the palace of Great Monarch Mystic Martial will definitely be destroyed. In that case, why don’t we help you solve this blood spring now and relieve you of your worries? This choice is easy to make, right?”









2560 Deal

Some things were useless to be said directly. From another perspective, the effect was different.

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was still a little hesitant when he heard this. He said, “I’m at the Carefree level. Those Bloody Hand Mine Devils are not my match.”

Han Fei said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing, if we don’t solve the blood spring outside Puppet City, something big will happen sooner or later. I believe you can see that the threat of the blood spring is not to create the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, but that there is an ominous power in the blood spring. Once the barrier protecting Puppet City is gone, even you, Senior Demon Vanquishing, might be contaminated by that ominous power. You should know the consequences, right?”

Sure enough, after hearing Han Fei’s words, the Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t refute again, which was a tacit agreement.

He said, “That’s right. Those Bloody Hand Mine Devils are indeed not a threat. The real threat is the ominous power dispersing from the blood spring. However, that’s a problem that even the Great Monarchs might not be able to solve. Human, you haven’t even reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm. How can you solve this blood spring? Or rather, do you have any way to suppress the Great Monarch’s bloody hand under the blood spring?”

Han Fei asked, “Can you catch a Bloody Hand Mine Devil, Senior Demon Vanquishing?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “Yes, but I can’t drag it into the barrier.”

Han Fei said, “It’s okay. You just need to grab one.”

“That’s simple.”

As a Monarch-level powerhouse, it was easy for the Demon Vanquishing Tree to catch a Bloody Hand Mine Devil. As soon as Han Fei said so, he saw a Bloody Hand Mine Devil being pulled into the air by invisible roots, struggling to escape.

Han Fei took a slight breath. He crossed the sky and came to the barrier. He raised his hands, and a pillar of light seemed to envelop the sky.

“Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.”

Buzz!

A holy brilliance shrouded down, and black smoke billowed out of the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s body. After only ten minutes, the ominous power in the Bloody Hand Mine Devil’s body was completely purged.

“Huh ~”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was a little shocked. Purifying the ominous power was not something that anyone could do easily. This was because Han Fei’s Great Dao was special. If it were anyone else, even a Carefree-level or even an immortal-level powerhouse wouldn’t dare to say that they could purify the ominous power so easily.

Seeing this, the Demon Vanquishing Tree seemed to be a little excited and hurriedly asked, “You consumed vitality, right? You used your own vitality to purify this ominous power? How many years of vitality did you consume?”

Han Fei thought to himself, You’ve seen through this? Sure enough, a Monarch is a Monarch. Han Fei didn’t hide anything. He said, “It took about fifty years of vitality to deal with this Bloody Hand Mine Devil.”

Immediately, Han Fei felt that the enthusiasm of the Demon Vanquishing Tree had receded a lot.

The Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “Human, I have to admit that your Great Dao is indeed very strong. However, it takes fifty years of vitality to purify a Bloody Hand Mine Devil. Even if you sacrifice all your vitality, it’s impossible to purify all the Bloody Hand Mine Devils under the Mine Demon Stream. Besides, the Bloody Hand Mine Devil is only in the Sky Opening realm after all. However, that bloody hand is said to once fight a god head-on. I’m afraid your vitality isn’t enough!”

At this moment, Han Fei flipped his hand, and a drop of Spring of Life appeared in his palm. It was exactly what Senior Brother Azure Dragon had helped him get from the Gate of Heaven.

The function of the Spring of Life was not just to replenish vitality. It could regather and regenerate the soul, repair the body, increase lifespan, and replenish vitality.

In addition, the Spring of Life could nourish the soul and the body at the same time. If one cultivated both, it was equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation for ordinary people.

Han Fei took out the Spring of Life and said indifferently, “Senior Demon Vanquishing, in addition to the Great Dao of purification that I just showed, I have some other special means and such a rare treasure with great vitality. Therefore, although I don’t dare to say that I can purify this spring of blood at once, I can at least purify a portion of the ominous power. As for how much I can purify, it’s really difficult to say. I can only find out after I try.”

Staring at the Spring of Life in Han Fei’s hand, the Demon Vanquishing Tree was a little stunned. After a long while, it said, “Is this the Spring of Life?”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Didn’t this person never leave Puppet City? How did he know this?

Seeing that Han Fei was surprised, the Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “Don’t be surprised. It’s said to be a strange treasure that can only be condensed by demonic plants with certain special attributes. My inherited memories mention this. Those who can give birth to the Spring of Life are at least Great Monarch-level demonic plants, but the speed at which a Great Monarch-level demonic plant condenses the Spring of Life is not fast. It may take hundreds of years to condense a drop.”

Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Demon Vanquishing, can only demonic plants give birth to the Spring of Life?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “Of course. Generally speaking, this is exclusive to Great Monarch-level demonic plants. It’s quite precious.”

Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. This meant that there was a Great Monarch-level demonic plant on the Heavenly Race’s side. Was it the one who fought Senior Brother Azure Dragon that day? If not, didn’t the Heavenly Race have two Great Monarch-level powerhouses? This strength was indeed shocking!

However, to Han Fei’s surprise, this Demon Vanquishing Tree was not tempted by the Spring of Life. It must be noted that he deliberately took out the Spring of Life. After all, it was the first time they met. It was impossible to say how much he trusted him.

Once the Demon Vanquishing Tree was tempted, Han Fei believed that it shouldn’t be a problem for him to escape.

Seeing that the Demon Vanquishing Tree wasn’t tempted, Han Fei didn’t dwell on the Spring of Life anymore. Instead, he said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing, we have to resolve the crisis of the blood spring in the end. I don’t ask for anything else. If I relieve the crisis of the blood spring, I hope Senior Demon Vanquishing can give me a turtle egg. Just as Old Yuan said, there are probably many turtle eggs left behind by Great Monarch Mystic Martial! And Senior Demon Vanquishing should know that even if most turtle eggs have been born, how many of them can reach the Great Monarch realm? If there is, Puppet City wouldn’t be like this now.”

The old turtle also said, “Little Demon Vanquishing, you should be able to tell if we have any ill intentions. If my body hadn’t been damaged, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have come to Puppet City. I don’t think you’ve seen many outsiders in the millions of years, right?”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “In the past, there were a few carefree-level and immortal-level Monarchs who tried to explore the Mine Demon Stream. Someone died in the blood spring, and someone broke into Puppet City and died by my hand.”

“Immortal level?”

Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. The Demon Vanquishing Tree mentioned immortal-level and confessed that the other party was killed. Was he killed by the Demon Vanquishing Tree?

In the next moment, the Demon Vanquishing Tree said, “In Puppet City, although I’m only in the Carefree level, Puppet City is the residence of Great Monarch Mystic Martial after all. How can there be no traps here? Therefore, if I really unleash my full strength, even immortal-level cultivators won’t be able to escape.”

Han Fei and the old turtle looked at each other. Fortunately, this person was not an enemy. Fortunately, the old turtle was an “old acquaintance” of Great Monarch Mystic Martial. Otherwise, their trip would have been fruitless.

The Demon Vanquishing Tree was not stubborn. If someone could solve the blood spring at the door, he would be willing to give them a turtle egg. He had witnessed the birth of some turtle eggs over the years, but unfortunately, they could only grow in the city. No matter how many resources they had, they couldn’t grow strong enough without fighting.

He had tried his best to send more than a dozen little turtles out of the Mine Demon Stream, but soon, their life tablets were all broken and none of them survived. Therefore, as long as Han Fei could help solve the blood spring, he could eliminate the bloody hand puppets. Then, when little turtles were born again, they wouldn’t have to be confined in Puppet City.

The Demon Vanquishing Tree pretended to think for a moment and finally said, “If you can purify the blood spring, I can give you a turtle egg…”

Han Fei really wanted to roll his eyes at him. Just now, he said that it was the life inheritance of Great Monarch Mystic Martial and couldn’t be touched, but now he could take it out? Isn’t this change too fast? Is this Demon Vanquishing Tree blushing?

However, Han Fei pretended not to care. They just took what they needed respectively.

First of all, he could try to purify the blood spring. If he succeeded, the reshaping of the old turtle’s body would be secondary. The key was that he would gain the trust of the Demon Vanquishing Tree. Then he might be able to establish himself in the Mine Demon Stream for a long time and even get the protection of a Monarch who was strong enough to resist immortal-level enemies.

In this place that even Monarchs refused to come to, protected by a Monarch, the Seven Kill Army would be safe.

Therefore, although the benefits didn’t seem to be much, they were actually beyond imagination.

The old turtle really wanted to ask Han Fei, Come on, that’s the hand of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand! Where do you get the confidence to purify it?

But in front of the Demon Vanquishing Tree, he couldn’t ask. He thought to himself, Let’s see how Han Fei will act. If he can’t continue acting, I’m afraid he will be stabbed to death by this Demon Vanquishing Tree!

Han Fei didn’t have such concerns. He simply said, “Senior Demon Vanquishing, I want to purify the blood spring. But there are too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils outside. There are seven or eight hundred of them around the barrier, and there are thousands near the blood spring. I’m afraid I can’t do anything until these Bloody Hand Mine Devils are eliminated.”

The Demon Vanquishing Tree: “Human, I can solve them, but I can’t attack the Bloody Hand Mine Devils near the blood spring. You need to lure them out of that area.”

Han Fei: “…”
