Chapter 701: Kill the fourth-level beast! The crying soul transforms!

“Roar!!!”

When the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard saw Lu Changsheng and Five Poison Sect Leader’s Qi permeating, not only did it show no fear, but it also viewed it as a provocation, letting out angry roars.

Flying sand and stones swept across the sky like a sandstorm, and a black, ink-like poisonous miasma spread out.

Lu Changsheng chose this Fourth-Order Demonic Lizard because its attributes were earth and poison, making it relatively clumsy, and its potent venom was countered by him and Five Poison Sect Leader.

So, facing the charging Two-Headed Lizard, Lu Changsheng’s Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared directly in his hand, erupting with brilliant sword light as he charged forward.

“Clang!!!”

Having broken through to Tier 4 Body Refining, Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body and Qi and blood could further activate this Innate Sword Embryo.

The brilliant sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, merging with Lu Changsheng’s powerful aura, like that of a Fourth-Order Demon King, and struck the Two-Headed Lizard’s claw. Sparks flew, then blood splattered, creating a foot-long wound.

Although Golden Winged Roc and Tihun Beast were only Tier 3 Yao Beasts, they possessed True Spirit-level Bloodline and showed no fear when facing the Fourth-Order Two-Headed Demonic Lizard.

The Tihun Beast snorted forcefully, and a pale yellow Soul-Devouring Profound Light burst forth, like a hazy mountain, pressing down on the Two-Headed Lizard.

The Golden Winged Roc charged straight up.

Its two wings were like two dazzling golden blades, gleaming with a cold sharpness. Its claws, seemingly forged from immortal gold, swept across the Demonic Lizard’s back, tearing open a bloody gash.

Although far inferior to the Great Luo Sword Embryo, it still broke through the defense and wounded the flesh.

“Roar!!!”

The Two-Headed Demonic Lizard sensed the dangerous Qi, let out a low roar, and its aura surged. The dark green scales on its body trembled, stirring up a layer of earthy yellow light membrane, and its massive body suddenly expanded by a circle.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Terrifying and vast Qi swept in all directions like surging waves, and terrifying stone thorns emerged from the ground, attempting to pierce through Lu Changsheng, Golden Winged Roc, and A Youduo.

But everyone was prepared, so how could they be so easily hit? Lu Changsheng’s Tier 4 physique and Chaos Body continuously roared.

The Nine Treasures Wishful Bone instinctively operated, transforming into a vast and boundless power, causing Qi and blood and magical power to intertwine, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand erupted with surging sword light.

The next moment, a sword cry that echoed through the heavens and earth rang out.

The Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s earthy yellow light membrane was broken by the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

A giant demonic claw was severed by Lu Changsheng, and black demonic blood splattered on the ground, causing erosion and decay.

Five Poison Sect Leader immediately seized this opportunity, casting Divine Ability secret arts, using Gu worms and potent venom to erode and affect the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard.

After all, this Demonic Lizard had a poisonous attribute; she wasn’t afraid of it, but ordinary venom would also have little effect on it.

“Roar!!!”

The Two-Headed Lizard roared in pain, realizing the danger, and began to go berserk.

However, the Tihun Beast’s Soul-Devouring Divine Light landed on its body, causing black smoke to continuously rise from its scales and wounds, making it extremely painful, and it couldn’t get close to Five Poison Sect Leader and the Tihun Beast at all.

“Buzz!”

Its dark, Evil Qi-filled pupils suddenly glowed with an earthy yellow light, staring intently at the Tihun Beast, forming ripples.

In an instant, violent winds swept across the heavens and earth, and countless flying sand and stones threatened to engulf the Tihun Beast, whose body was covered with a layer of earthy yellow crystals.

“Not good, this is the Petrification Divine Ability!”

Tier 3 Demon Kings would possess innate Divine Abilities, and the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard, as a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, naturally had innate Divine Abilities.

Lu Changsheng’s Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand suddenly struck out, wanting to interrupt the latter’s Divine Ability.

But the Two-Headed Lizard’s body was covered with layers of earthy yellow light membranes, which even Lu Changsheng could not easily break.

Not far away, the Tihun Beast cried “Squeak, squeak, squeak!” then let out a roar. Its pale golden fur glowed faintly, and black mist swirled around its body, shaking off the stone particles on its surface.

Immediately after, the Tihun Beast’s small, inch-long body rapidly grew larger at a visible speed, and the surrounding black mist was like blurred ghostly shadows, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

“Roar!!!”

The Tihun Beast was like a demonic ape, roaring towards the sky, and all the ghostly shadows around it trembled, surging into the dark fur on its back, transforming into eerie and terrifying evil spirits.

And its figure became increasingly hideous, its tail gradually turning blood-red, and a curved horn, thick and grotesque, emerged from the top of its head.

In the center of its brows, a bloody red demonic eye suddenly tore open and appeared, captivating and terrifying.

In just a few breaths, the Tihun Beast’s appearance drastically changed, transforming from a cute and charming little beast into a black-faced, fanged, hideous demonic ape, covered in eerie ghostly Qi, exuding monstrous ferocity.

This was the Tihun Beast’s combat form, a true Punishment Beast, a bane of demons!

“Roar!!!”

The Tihun Beast’s pupils were cold and dark, its entire body surged with black mist, like layers of surging waves. Its horns glowed with a hazy light, and its eyes shot out scarlet divine light, charging furiously towards the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard.

At this moment, the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard, which was being suppressed by Lu Changsheng and Five Poison Sect Leader, actually appeared to be in a daze.

“What kind of Yao Beast is this?”

A Youduo looked at the Tihun Beast with surprise and astonishment.

Previously, the Tihun Beast’s Soul-Devouring Divine Light, which devoured ghosts and monsters, was already astonishing.

Now, it could even intimidate a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, which was truly terrifying.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”

The Tihun Beast’s red divine light landed on the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s body, like countless ghostly shadows biting, causing its body’s light membrane to dim, and filthy demonic flames to sizzle.

Immediately after, a fist with a few bone spurs struck the Two-Headed Lizard’s body, like a divine demon beating a drum, each punch causing a rumbling sound.

“A Punishment Beast, restraining all sorts of ghosts and corpse demons, is indeed extraordinary.”

Lu Changsheng, through his Taiyi Divine Soul and Fire Eyes Golden Eyes, saw that the black mist surrounding the Tihun Beast’s body would help it dissolve and devour ghostly Qi and Demonic Qi.

And all of its attacks would have an additional bonus against this type of Demonic Vicious Beast. When they landed on the Two-Headed Lizard’s body, their power was even higher than that of the Golden Winged Roc, a Tier 3 top-tier Demon King.

“This is still against a Demonic Vicious Beast. If it were against a true Demonic Path Cultivator or a Fourth-Order Ghost King, the Tihun Beast’s combat power would probably increase by another level.”

Through the current situation, Lu Changsheng had a general understanding of the Tihun Beast’s situation.

If the latter grew to the top of Tier 3, it might really be able to defeat a Fourth-Order Ghost King!

He didn’t think much further. With the Tihun Beast taking the pressure head-on, the Great Luo Sword Light in his hand continuously struck out, severing the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s scales, causing demonic blood to splatter.

Even though this Demonic Lizard lacked intelligence, it now sensed a strong danger and wanted to struggle and escape.

But facing the frontal assault of Lu Changsheng and the Tihun Beast, and the interception and restriction by A Youduo and the Golden Winged Roc, it simply couldn’t escape.

“Prevent it from counterattacking!”

Looking at the scarred and gradually maddened Two-Headed Lizard, Lu Changsheng reminded them.

Having hunted Demon Kings in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and Great Dream Marsh for many years, he had accumulated considerable experience.

He knew that when a Demon King reached this point, it would launch a dying counterattack.

Such a dying counterattack from a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, even if it couldn’t kill someone, could very likely severely injure one of them.

He and A Youduo still needed to continue exploring Wanmo Abyss, and they didn’t want to be injured by this Two-Headed Demonic Lizard.

“Master, don’t worry.”

With Lu Changsheng and the Tihun Beast attacking head-on, A Youduo fought very easily. Her Natal Spirit Treasure, the [Five Poison Myriad Evil Banner], rustled beside her, and five-colored poisonous miasma permeated the air.

In her hand, she held a whip-shaped Magic Treasure, continuously lashing out, interfering with and restricting the Two-Headed Lizard.

“Roar!”

Half an hour later, the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard, with scarlet and crazed eyes, tried to counterattack, but had no chance. It chose to give up struggling, fully activating its Divine Ability, and its entire body was enveloped in poisonous mist, attempting to petrify itself.

Lu Changsheng saw that this was similar to Heavenly Silkworm True Lord’s cocooning Divine Ability.

Once it completed petrification and Nirvana Seal, its defense would greatly increase, making it difficult to kill in a short period, requiring more Qi and blood and magical power.

And in Wanmo Abyss, which was filled with Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, ghostly Qi, and turbid Qi, there was almost no Spiritual Qi, so magical power and stamina could only be recovered through Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, which was very troublesome.

“Five Poison Myriad Evil, rise!”

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Five Poison Sect Leader was already prepared. Seeing this, her tender small hands quickly formed a seal, and the five-colored long banner beside her fluttered.

Immediately, the poisonous evil and Gu worms that she had previously eroded into the Two-Headed Lizard’s body all rioted, interrupting the latter’s Divine Ability.

At the same time, Lu Changsheng’s eyes burst with bright light, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand struck towards the lizard’s neck, which was almost devoid of scales and dripping with blood.

“Crack crack crack!!!”

Flesh splattered, and bones shattered.

Seeing this, the Tihun Beast’s scarlet divine light from its brow also fully landed on the neck.

“Pfft!”

A hideous and terrifying lizard head was directly severed, and demonic blood gushed out like a spring, causing the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard to let out a heart-wrenching roar of pain.

“Kill again!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng and the Tihun Beast worked together, taking advantage of this gap, and suddenly struck out with another sword, intending to cut off its other head.

Severely wounded and at the end of its rope, the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard was powerless to resist, and another head was severed.

But as a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, even with two heads severed, it was not yet dead. Its heads and body seemed to instinctively want to reattach.

But how could Lu Changsheng give it this chance? He unleashed the Yin Yang One Qi Great Capturing Hand, firmly restraining the two heads.

A moment later, the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s mountain-like body crashed to the ground, its life force completely extinguished.

“Phew, such a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, even without a brain, is truly difficult to kill.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s body and let out a long breath of turbid air.

He hadn’t felt it before when he used the [Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror] to kill the Void Kun.

Now, relying on his own strength to kill this Two-Headed Demonic Lizard, he deeply realized how tenacious the life force of a Fourth-Order Demon King was.

If there were no backup arrangements and multiple people to restrict it, if it wanted to escape, he alone would indeed find it difficult to stop it.

“Fourth-Order Vicious Beast…”

Five Poison Sect Leader looked at the Demonic Lizard before her, her small face filled with complex emotions, and she glanced at Lu Changsheng and the Tihun Beast.

In this battle, although she contributed, the main effort came from Lu Changsheng and the Tihun Beast.

The frontal combat power of one person and one beast was simply terrifying.

“A Youduo, do you need any Materials?”

Lu Changsheng never kept spoils to himself. Looking at the trophies before him, he asked Five Poison Sect Leader.

As he spoke, he took out a gourd from his hand and began to collect the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s blood.

Although the blood of this Two-Headed Lizard was contaminated and demonized, its value was far inferior to the Void Kun’s essence blood.

But for him, who cultivated the Vatican Devil True Saint Art, it was just right.

This was also one of his purposes for coming to hunt Fourth-Order Demonic Vicious Beasts.

“This Two-Headed Lizard should have two hearts. If you don’t need them, Master, I can use the poisonous heart to cultivate Gu worms.”

A Youduo said, neither refusing nor appearing too greedy.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and began to dissect the Demonic Two-Headed Lizard before him.

So much flesh and blood couldn’t all be taken away, so he let the Golden Winged Roc and the Tihun Beast eat it.

However, the Golden Winged Roc’s Nascent Soul Origin had not yet been refined, so it only ate a few bites and then stopped, to avoid contamination from the Demonic flesh and blood.

The Tihun Beast, on the other hand, was unaffected and feasted on the Two-Headed Lizard, its body enveloped in black mist like eerie ghostly Qi, directly absorbing the essence of the flesh and blood.

Lu Changsheng paid no mind to this and dug out the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s earthy yellow beast core, which glowed with a faint green light.

The entire beast core was enveloped in dense Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and turbid Qi, enough to contaminate many Yao Beasts and Cultivators.

The Tihun Beast couldn’t help but look at this beast core, its eyes filled with a longing expression.

Ordinary Yao Beasts dared not consume such a beast core, as it was easy to be contaminated and affected, but for it, it was even more suitable.

“You want it?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and directly tossed the priceless Fourth-Order beast core to it.

On this trip to Wanmo Abyss, the Tihun Beast had already demonstrated its combat power and value.

So Lu Changsheng was also willing to cultivate it well, allowing it to quickly advance to Tier 3 top-tier, and even Tier 4!

“Roar roar roar!!!”

The black-faced, fanged, terrifying Tihun Beast roared excitedly, took the Fourth-Order beast core, and then inhaled forcefully through its nose, absorbing the Origin essence within.

“Finish eating these first, don’t waste them.”

Lu Changsheng said to the Tihun Beast.

Upon hearing this, the Tihun Beast reluctantly glanced at the beast core in its hand, then continued to absorb the Two-Headed Lizard’s flesh and blood essence.

After giving the Two-Headed Lizard’s poisonous heart to A Youduo, Lu Changsheng processed the bones, tendons, eyeballs, claws, and other valuable Materials. He took a Medicinal Pill to slightly adjust his breath, then went with A Youduo to find the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s lair.

Although such Demonic Vicious Beasts lacked intelligence, as Yao Beasts, they would instinctively collect some Heaven And Earth Treasure.

“You can eat here for now.”

Lu Changsheng said to the Tihun Beast, who was still feasting, hoping it would eat as much as possible.

Not long after, Lu Changsheng and A Youduo arrived at the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard’s lair.

It was dark and deep, with scattered rocks, like a demonic cave.

“This is… Demonic Soul Grass!”

As soon as he entered the lair, Lu Changsheng saw several strange weeds with dark leaves, lacking fragrance and luster, growing ahead. He couldn’t help but step forward to examine them carefully.

This was a very rare Spiritual Plant, with the effect of nourishing the Divine Soul and increasing Soul Power.

Of course, the side effects were also very obvious.

During consumption and refinement, Heart Demons would interfere and affect the mind.

But for Lu Changsheng, who cultivated the Six Desires Heart Demon Art and had the Xumi Tree King at Lu, this side effect was equivalent to none.

“Although Wanmo Abyss lacks rare Spiritual Materials, a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast’s lair like this should still have many good things.”

Lu Changsheng mused to himself, collecting the four Demonic Soul Grasses and placing them in a brocade box, intending to take one himself to experience its effects.

Then he would give them to his son Lu Lingxiao, daughter Lu Wangshu, and others to enhance their Divine Souls and experience the effects of Heart Demons in advance.

The two continued to search the Immortal Cave, but did not see any rare treasures.

However, as a Fourth-Order Vicious Beast, the Two-Headed Demonic Lizard, like most Demon Kings, collected many crystal ores and placed them in its lair.

Many of them were Fourth-Order crystal ores, which could be used to refine Magic Treasures and create Puppets, a considerable gain.

After digging three feet deep into the lair, Lu Changsheng and A Youduo returned the way they came, set up a Formation Restriction, and meditated to adjust their breath using Spirit Stones and Spirit Eye Spring, waiting for the Tihun Beast to finish its meal.

Meanwhile, Lu Miaoge, Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, Lixingruo, and others arrived at the Li family in Mount Daya.
