C1418 Demon Beasts
"Bang!"
Immediately after, Zhou Yan's sword trembled as a surge of hidden force surged towards him.
Caught off guard, the Scarlet Flame Wolf was knocked to the ground on the spot. Its four limbs twitched as it wailed in pain.
"Aowu ~ ~ ~"
The Scarlet Flame Wolf let out a miserable cry in pain as it struggled to get up and escape.
"Whoosh ~ ~ ~ ~!"
Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold. With a flip of his wrist, he swung his sword and chopped off the head of the Scarlet Flame Wolf.
After that, he waved his arm and threw the corpse of the Crimson Flame Wolf into the lava lake.
"Huhuhu ~ ~ ~"
In an instant, the boiling lava surged over and drowned the Scarlet Flame Wolf.
In the blink of an eye, the corpse was burnt to ashes.
"There are too many Demonic Beasts in this world."
Zhou Yan shook his head and sighed.
The number of Demonic Beasts in this world had far exceeded his expectations.
"No, I have to quickly increase my cultivation so that I can leave this place alive."
Zhou Yan muttered to himself as he made up his mind and continued to rush forward.
An hour later, Zhou Yan arrived at a marshland.
This was a vast and boundless marshland that was covered in mud, water vapor, and miasma.
In the center of this marshland sat a simple and ancient palace.
The palace gates were heavily guarded, and every few dozen feet, there would be a guard standing guard.
"This should be the treasury."
Zhou Yan's eyes sparkled.
"Let's go!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yan jumped into the swamp and quickly swam over.
Not long after, he passed through layers of obstacles and arrived at the entrance of the palace.
"Who is it?"
At the entrance of the palace, a guard shouted.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
Zhou Yan was too lazy to waste any more time and immediately took out his flying boat.
"Swoosh!"
The flying boat cut through the air and landed straight down.
"Hualala ~ ~ ~"
In an instant, on the surface of the flying boat, strands of runes flashed, emitting a powerful aura.
A powerful and oppressive energy descended.
"Boom! Bang! Bang!"
All the guards instantly vomited blood as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Thump! Thump!"
One by one, they fell to the ground and fainted.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort and retracted his flying boat.
Then, he walked into the palace.
The decorations here were rather simple and unadorned. On the walls, there were many ancient paintings that were filled with the traces of time.
Everything was so old.
The only thing worth noticing was the three rows of wooden shelves in the corner.
"This is...!?"
Zhou Yan glanced at them and was immediately shocked. He immediately walked over.
On the wooden shelves, there were countless jade bottles and embroidered boxes stacked neatly together. There were tens of thousands of them.
"Spiritual medicine, pills, martial skills and cultivation techniques..."
Zhou Yan reached out his hand and grabbed the wooden rack on the far right. Immediately, a crystal clear pearl appeared on his palm.
This pearl was shaped like a dragon's head. Its entire body was fiery red and emitted a faint halo.
"Sky Huo Ling Pearl!"
Zhou Yan's heart raced as a fiery light shot out from his eyes.
This was something that blacksmiths dreamed of. It could help cultivators condense the True Fire Elemental Dipper.
"This is a rare treasure!"
Zhou Yan's heart surged as his breathing quickened. He wanted to take this treasure away immediately.
"Hiss..."
At this moment, a light cry sounded.
Immediately after, a small silver snake stuck its head out from the wooden shelf.
The small snake was snow white and had a unique appearance. It had nine heads, and each of them had a horn on its head.
"Nine Neonate...!"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened in shock.
The little snake in front of him was exactly the same as the Nine Infants Nine Infants in his memories.
"* Crack! Crack! *"
The Nine Neonate snake twisted its neck and slowly moved its body to the bottom of the shelf before opening its mouth and devouring a Spiritual Grass.
"Gulp."
It seemed to be full as it licked its lips.
"Roar!"
The Nine Infant roared into the sky and gave an excited roar. Its massive body twisted as it shot into the sky.
"Swish!"
When Zhou Yan saw this scene, his face darkened. His body turned into a ray of light and instantly chased after it.
...
"Swish, swish, swish ~ ~ ~"
After half an incense stick of time, Zhou Yan finally caught up to the Nine Infant and blocked its path.
"Roar, roar, roar."
The Nine Infant let out an angry roar as its scarlet pupils locked onto Zhou Yan.
It was a Demonic Beast at the peak of the Seventh Rank, comparable to an Innate Grandmaster.
Thus, although it was afraid of Zhou Yan, it did not retreat.
"Get down!"
With a loud roar, Zhou Yan's body trembled as a violent true energy burst out from his body.
Boom!
A vast and mighty fiendish aura swept in all directions.
In an instant, Zhou Yan's body began to expand rapidly as if an ancient Vicious Beast had awakened.
With a "kacha" sound, he pressed the Nine Infant to the ground.
"* Roar! Roar! Roar! *"
The Nine Infant struggled crazily as it roared continuously. Its voice was sharp and miserable, like the wails of ghosts and gods.
However, the more it struggled, the more it felt the monstrous aura from Zhou Yan's body.
This aura seemed to come from ancient times and was filled with a destructive aura, causing it to instinctively feel afraid.
"With a bang, the Nine Neonate fell to the ground and started to tremble. It was unable to fight back anymore, and its eyes were filled with fear.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly and stepped on the Nine Infant's back.
"Roar..."
The intense pain caused the Nine Infant to let out a mournful cry.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
Zhou Yan looked down at the Nine Infant and asked coldly.
"Wuwuwu..."
The Nine Neonate lowered its head and sobbed, its eyes filled with humiliation and grievance.
"Since you don't accept it, don't blame me for being rude."
With that, Zhou Yan raised his right fist and smashed it towards the Nine Infant's head.
This punch was enough to kill the Nine Infant.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, the Nine Infant shouted.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan stopped and looked at it coldly.
"Wu..."
The Nine Infant growled, "I am willing to acknowledge you as my master."
It knew that the difference in strength was not something it could match up to.
Furthermore, it was heavily injured and couldn't fight back at all.
"Oh?"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
He originally thought that he would have to pay a price to subdue the Nine Infant.
After all, this was a legendary Vicious Beast that possessed an ancient and ferocious bloodline.
However, he did not expect it to go so smoothly.
"Alright, since that's the case, then acknowledge me as your master."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "However, I'll be frank with you. If you dare to go back on your word, I will kill you mercilessly!"
"* Roar! *"
The Nine Infant nodded his head.
Immediately after, a drop of blood appeared on its forehead and dripped into Zhou Yan's forehead.
In an instant, the blood fused into a blood lotus.
"Awoo..."
The Nine Neonate let out a sorrowful cry as tears streamed down its face.
As a Vicious Beast, it was incomparably arrogant.2
However, today, in order to survive, it was willing to acknowledge its master and was forced to submit to him.
"Very good!"
Zhou Yan was ecstatic. He immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Taixuan Spirit Devouring Scripture.
"Chi la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the next moment, a ball of blazing Scarlet Flame rose from his body and enveloped his entire body.
