Chapter 1994 Newly Discovered Extinct Race!
Not bad!
The Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's Elder was the last remaining Half-Saint Realm expert among the demon race's allied forces.
But now, this top expert who had been in charge of the demon alliance for a long time and who had been awe-inspiring to the region has completely perished.
So far!
The entire massive demon army, which had invaded human territory, was annihilated, with not a single one surviving, including all its top experts at the Half-Saint Realm level.
They all perished at the hands of Cheng Buzheng's true form.
The sky is high and vast, with clouds surging and rolling!
Cheng Buzheng stood still in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the strong winds high above.
He lowered his gaze and looked down at the entire sea area, where countless surviving demon cultivators scattered and fled in disarray.
The originally orderly demon formation completely collapsed.
All the demons looked terrified, their hearts shattered.
The sea was shrouded in panic and despair.
Looking at this utterly defeated state...
A cold smile curled at the corners of Cheng Buzheng's lips as he sneered inwardly:
"I was rushing to break through the impasse earlier and had no time to deal with you insignificant ants, so I spared your lives for the time being."
"But times have changed. Now I am at leisure."
"Now, there's plenty of time to settle accounts with you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the world suddenly seemed to sink.
next moment,
Cheng Buzheng raised his hand and waved it in the air. Without any grand spectacle as a prelude, an unparalleled power that crushed heaven and earth and was terrifyingly powerful suddenly swept across the entire sea area.
This power surpassed all cultivation levels in this world, carrying an overwhelming destructive force that instantly enveloped all the remaining demon cultivators.
boom!
Boom! !
A series of muffled, explosive booms echoed across the vast sea.
The earthquake caused the waves to surge and the clouds to tremble.
One after another, dazzlingly beautiful crimson flowers suddenly bloomed on the azure sea.
That was a horrific phenomenon caused by the shattering of the physical bodies and the dissipation of the essence and blood of countless demon cultivators.
In the blink of an eye,
The large number of demon cultivators who were just fleeing in panic were all turned into ashes and disappeared into the world.
The battlefield was cleared in an instant.
Cheng Buzheng's thoughts stirred slightly, and among the countless remains of demon cultivators floating on the sea...
Countless storage treasures, rare spiritual materials, and demon bone pearls broke free from their restraints, transforming into dazzling streams of light that soared into the sky.
Following the trajectory of the void, they all shot towards the depths.
Finally, it landed steadily inside his Qiankun thumb ring.
After collecting all the spoils of war...
Cheng Buzheng did not linger there.
A flash of spiritual light appeared around him, and his figure vanished completely from the sky above the sea like a fleeting cloud, leaving no trace.
In the days that followed...
Cheng Buzheng changed his previous eager and hurried manner, and instead walked calmly and leisurely, inspecting the entire human defense line.
He was no longer in a hurry to advance the war, and instead carefully explored every battlefield and every sea area.
From never wanting to waste a moment, they are now steadily purging the remaining forces of the hidden demon race.
Half a day passes in the blink of an eye.
Above the void, Cheng Buzheng, who was inspecting the front-line territory, suddenly stopped and stood steadily in the sky.
His previously casual gaze suddenly sharpened, piercing through layers of clouds and sea mist, and locking onto an inconspicuous demon figure in the sea below.
The demon cultivator was surrounded by a powerful and steady aura of Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, making him one of the top combatants among the remaining demon forces.
However, this level of cultivation was not enough to make Cheng Buzheng, who was used to seeing Nascent Soul stage demons, stop and be moved.
What truly stirred his heart...
It was the hidden bloodline aura within this demonic being, obscure and difficult to discern, yet unique.
At that moment, a deep sense of surprise and astonishment flickered in the depths of his eyes.
"I never imagined that the extinct race recorded in ancient books, the Hydra Clan, would actually still exist in the world, and not just a fabrication by the ancients!"
"If my cultivation level were not far superior to this demon's, and my divine soul perception not surpassing heaven and earth..."
Such an extremely subtle bloodline aura would surely be completely overlooked and missed.
As thoughts arose and fell,
Countless ancient records flooded into Cheng Buzheng's mind in an instant.
That was a fragmented secret he stumbled upon during his early years when he was browsing through countless ancient books; very few people in the world knew about it.
According to that ancient book, with its faded and worn-out characters:
The Hydra race is an ancient and extraordinary species, with a unique bloodline and a highly systematic growth and transformation process.
In its juvenile stage, it grows two heads, beginning to show signs of being a different species;
During its growth period, it transformed into a six-headed creature, greatly increasing its combat power and beginning to show its talent.
When it reaches full maturity, it will give birth to nine heads, thus perfecting its bloodline origin.
Moreover, its nine heads are incredibly mysterious, each head possessing a unique attribute, talent, and spell.
Within the same rank, it crushes countless demon races and alien species.
Ordinary Hydra members awaken one of the nine basic attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, lightning, and poison.
It can already be considered the top talent among the demon race.
However, ancient books also record extremely rare cases of bloodline mutations.
Hydras with pure bloodlines and exceptional talents have a very small chance of awakening rare sealing-type talent spells.
Even more extraordinary individuals possess spatial attribute talents, allowing them to traverse the void freely.
Even the most mysterious and elusive of time-related talents, which are said to be extremely rare, were only awakened by a hydra in ancient times.
It's not entirely unfounded.
Cheng Buzheng's heart stirred slightly, and he recalled the secret teaching passed down for thousands of years at the end of the classic text, and a burning desire appeared in his eyes:
"That's right!"
The book also contained a legend that the Hydra bloodline possessed the ultimate power of transformation, and could ultimately evolve again, shedding its serpentine form and transforming into a dragon.
A nine-headed dragon comparable to the true spirit of heaven and earth!
"Although it's just an ancient legend, and the probability of successful evolution is so slim as to be almost nonexistent, it's extremely rare to see even one example throughout countless ages."
But ultimately, there remains a sliver of incredible luck.
Just as Cheng Buzheng was deep in thought, pondering the secrets of the ancient books...
The situation on the battlefield below is changing rapidly.
Beneath the void, a colossal demonic body covered in thick, hard, dark scales suddenly unleashed its ultimate speed, transforming into a streak of black light and charging fiercely towards the continuous array of light barriers laid out by the human race.
Inside the light barrier, the human cultivators stationed there were already on high alert, instantly unleashing dozens of powerful and dazzling offensive and defensive magical treasures.
Streams of incredibly sharp magical light pierced through the array's light barrier.
A murderous aura surged forth, locking onto the snake demon's vital points, its attacks as dense as a net.
Their intention was to kill this powerful demon who had rashly charged forward on the spot.
But faced with an overwhelming and deadly offensive...
The black serpent showed no intention of dodging or avoiding, its demonic eyes were cold, and its posture was steady as it allowed countless magical treasures and spiritual lights to approach its body.
Just as the magic weapon was about to reach it—
The giant serpent opened its mouth wide, and a thick, dark green cloud of smoke billowed out.
It spread rampantly like a tidal wave.
In the blink of an eye...
The entire sea area within a ten-mile radius was shrouded in poisonous fog; the fog was thick and the stench was bone-chilling.
A highly corrosive odor wafted towards us.
Zizi!
Zizizi! !
The ear-piercing sound of corrosion echoed incessantly.
The sturdy magical artifact's aura dimmed and dissolved rapidly within the poisonous fog.
Even the sturdy human array's light barrier was corroded by the poisonous fog, developing countless tiny cracks, and its spiritual light was rapidly depleted.
Deep within the poisonous fog, a hoarse, low, eerie voice slowly echoed.
This seemingly ferocious but ordinary-looking snake...
It was the nine-headed hydra demon that had concealed its true form and deliberately suppressed its bloodline aura.
High above, Cheng Buzheng, who had witnessed the entire event, slowly curled a playful smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with astonishment:
"Interesting, very interesting."
"This hydra demon's poison-attribute innate magic possesses such formidable corrosive power."
It can even forcibly erode and disintegrate the reinforced defensive formations of the human race.
Previously, I had underestimated the innate abilities of the Hydra clan.
"As expected of the legendary, heaven-defying species from ancient times, its talent and foundation far surpass those of ordinary demons."
Just as Cheng Buzheng was expressing his admiration, another strange change occurred within the poisonous fog.
Suddenly, a slightly distorted, almost transparent void shield appeared around the nine-headed hydra, completely isolating the remaining poisonous mist from external attacks.
next moment,
Its figure flickered, using the power of the void to instantly conceal itself, disappearing without a trace.
All that remained was a vast expanse of green poisonous mist, which slowly dissipated.
Upon witnessing this scene, Cheng Buzheng felt no anger at being tricked; instead, a surge of intense joy and excitement welled up within him.
His gaze was sharp; he had already seen through the subtle trajectory of the previous movement, and he murmured to himself:
"That fluctuation just now was from a spatial attribute talent!"
"Is it a brief traverse of the void, or a long-distance spatial teleportation technique?"
At this point in time,
Cheng Buzheng's expression grew increasingly solemn:
"This nine-headed hydra demon has already displayed several rare talents!"
First, there was the illusionary talent that concealed one's true voice; then came the poisonous talent that corroded all things.
Now, he has even unleashed an extremely rare spatial attribute talent.
Each one is a supernatural power, one in ten thousand!
"We can't delay any longer!"
This demon possesses a heaven-defying bloodline and boundless potential.
If it is allowed to completely escape and grow in hiding, it will surely become a great threat in the future.
We must not let it get away!
next moment,
Cheng Buzheng's spiritual light vanished, and with a flash, he tore through the void, disappearing completely from the high sky where he had been standing, and sped away after the escape trajectory of the nine-headed serpent demon.
at the same time,
Above a tranquil void somewhere in the human inland sea...
The previously calm space was suddenly rippled with faint, transparent waves.
The water-like ripples spread slowly.
The spatial barrier trembled slightly.
Then,
A beam of extremely condensed dark light suddenly shot out from the void and landed steadily on the sea surface.
Once the dark and spiritual light have completely dissipated...
A small snake, only three feet long and covered in fine, dark scales, slowly emerged.
It slightly turned its head, looking back at the endless, sky-spanning human array of light behind it.
His narrow, snake-like eyes were filled with lingering fear.
Secretly, I was overjoyed.
"I've finally escaped with my life!"
We were just surrounded by an array, sealed off layer by layer.
"If I had arrived even a moment later, I would surely have perished here today, utterly defeated within the human defenses."
Immediately, the little snake demon's eyes darted around as it rapidly weighed its current situation, its mind racing with thoughts:
"Now the Inner Sea is entirely controlled by the human race, with cultivators everywhere and patrols constantly, making it no place to stay for long."
And the open sea must never be entered.
The Human Cultivators' Association headquarters is located on the outer sea, a place teeming with powerful individuals and fraught with danger.
"It seems that the only way out now is to retreat into the human race's inland territory."
It is meticulous and quickly weighs the pros and cons:
"Although the inland areas are also under human control, various forces are intertwined and interlocked, resulting in a chaotic and loose situation."
The patriarchs of the various powerful forces have limited cultivation levels; the highest among them is no more than the Nascent Soul Realm of this lord.
In a direct confrontation, my combat power is more than enough to crush all the Nascent Soul elders from the inland regions.
"Most importantly, the inland territory is remote and extremely far from the human race's Nascent Soul Venerable who is in charge of a region."
"As long as I find a secluded spot deep in the mountains to hide and lie dormant, even if a little word gets out, no matter how boundless that Nascent Soul cultivator's supernatural powers are, they will find it difficult to cross realms to find my trace!"
"Once I dedicate myself to cultivation and break through to the Demon Lord realm, my strength will skyrocket, and I will roam freely throughout the world."
hum,
Who can stop the advance of humanity?
Countless thoughts flashed through the Hydra's mind, then settled in an instant.
Without further hesitation, its serpentine eyes locked onto the direction of the deep inland mountains, and a slight spiritual light flickered around its body as it prepared to rise and escape from this place of trouble.
But just as it was about to set off...
A detached and languid voice, yet carrying boundless pressure, suddenly rang softly in its ear:
"Young friend, where are you headed in such a hasty escape?"
The voice has not fallen,
The air pressure across the entire area suddenly surged.
A vast, boundless, and extremely powerful suppressive force, like a towering mountain crashing down, instantly imprisoned the surrounding void.
This also completely sealed off all escape routes for the Hydra.
The terrifying pressure permeated its limbs and bones, rendering it completely immobile.
"not good!!"
The nine-headed hydra demon was terrified, its demonic power instantly becoming chaotic. An overwhelming despair welled up within it, and it thought to itself with sorrow:
"It's over!
This time I've completely failed; I'm doomed!
The void trembled slightly, and a tall, composed figure silently appeared before the snake demon.
With an outstanding figure and extraordinary temperament,
It was Cheng Buzheng who had been tracking them all along.
Under the suppression of supreme pressure, the nine-headed hydra demon, which was imprisoned in place, had its demonic light flickering and churning violently.
next moment,
It could no longer conceal its true form, and its true nature was fully revealed between heaven and earth.
A colossal black serpent, its body entirely black and its scales menacing, suddenly appeared.
The most shocking thing is...
Nine snake heads of uniform size and different shapes grew side by side on its neck.
The nine colors are completely different, each presenting one of the nine ultimate colors: gold, green, blue, red, yellow, white, silver, emerald, and purple.
It was eerily strange and terrifying.
The nine colors and nine heads correspond precisely to the nine ultimate attribute talents that Hydra is born with.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze swept carefully over the nine heads, instantly identifying all their attributes:
The five colors—gold, green, blue, red, and yellow—correspond to the basic innate spells of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Profound and authentic, with a rich cultural heritage;
The pure white snake head was surrounded by a hazy and eerie fluctuation, which was the illusion attribute talent that could conceal its form and confuse perception;
The silver snake head was swirling with fine, ethereal patterns, its unique fluctuations a spatial attribute power that he was extremely familiar with.
The snake's head, entirely emerald green, exuded a sinister aura that seemed to corrode everything.
It was the poison attribute talent that had just corrupted the human race's formation.
