King of Creation Chapter 1836 - 1821: The Little Cat Goes Berserk

Even against a single Goldback Crocodile Dragon, no matter how powerful it is, even with boundless magic, it ultimately doesn’t belong to the Dao Realm. Besides, it faces a Mid Dao Realm expert with several innate divine abilities.

In less than the time it takes to take a hundred breaths, the most powerful Goldback Crocodile Dragon, measuring three thousand meters long, had already been battered to the point of being covered in wounds by the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.

Even its giant bull-headed eye was rendered blind in one eye.

"Vile creature, die!"

With an angry roar, Jii Gongyue used his technique to sacrifice his Low Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure level Black Iron Token, full of mysterious patterns, transforming it into an illusion resembling a mountain a thousand layers high, and smashed it down upon the Goldback Crocodile Dragon’s head.

Only by destroying the creature’s head completely did Jii Gongyue feel safe enough to harvest the Five Seed Pomegranate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the dense, thunderous sounds of the Black Iron Token pounding away, the nauseating sounds of bones breaking rang out incessantly.

The powerful Goldback Crocodile Dragon let out a wretched howl, each strike of the Black Iron Token dazing it to the point where it couldn’t mount an effective defense.

In virtually an instant, blood arrows spurted from its eyes, nose, and mouth, and the light within its eyes quickly dimmed.

Even though the crocodile dragon hide on its head was still intact, the relentless, mountain-like heavy blows from the Black Iron Token had turned everything under the hide into a mass of pulp.

As the aura of the most powerful Goldback Crocodile Dragon gradually dissipated, a gleam of wild joy suddenly appeared on the face of Jii Gongyue, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.

The Five Seed Pomegranate was now within reach.

Even if the perpetrator who stole from the Spirit Void Orchard had not been found this time, obtaining a fruit capable of extending the life of the ancestors was worth it.

To avoid any complications from delay, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, immediately leapt towards the center of Quagmire Lake to get the Five Seed Pomegranate first.

However, at this very moment, two unusual auras appeared almost simultaneously.

The first aura appeared in front of Jii Gongyue, belonging to a Goldback Crocodile Dragon with cultivation only at the Mid Dark Palace Realm, measuring only five hundred meters in length, like a youngling compared to the previous dragons.

At this moment, the youngling, with eyes wide open, was staring at Jii Gongyue with a gaze full of hatred, wishing to swallow him whole immediately.

Such a youngling was of no concern to Jii Gongyue.

Just a creature he could crush with one foot, presumably the offspring of those Goldback Crocodile Dragons.

If it weren’t for the appearance of the second aura, Jii Gongyue might have considered taking the youngling back as a pet for his newborn grandchild.

But the second aura that emerged alongside the youngling nearly drove Jii Gongyue mad.

It was a blood-red figure.

The blood-red figure abruptly appeared within a hundred meters of the Five Seed Pomegranate, rushing towards it.

The intention was clear, to try to snatch the Five Seed Pomegranate.

This instantaneously filled Jii Gongyue with fury.

Someone dared to pluck his fruit.

For the sake of this Five Seed Pomegranate, Jii Yan’s Dao Body was damaged first, and then Jii Yan took the risk to use the Primordial Spirit Blood Eye at the cost of his nearly shattered Dao Body to create an opportunity to slay these Goldback Crocodile Dragons.

This led to him successfully slaying the Goldback Crocodile Dragon, and now, somebody wants to pluck his fruit.

This drove Jii Gongyue to madness!

This was absolutely something Jii Gongyue could not reconcile with.

The cultivation aura of the blood-red figure before him had already reached the peak of the late stage of Realm King Realm, a level he could usually easily defeat.

But who knows what secret techniques this blood-red figure might possess. If they suddenly disappear after snagging the Five Seed Pomegranate, Jii Gongyue would be truly left in tears.

Therefore, as soon as the fruit-snatching blood-red figure appeared, Jii Gongyue roared, and his speed exploded to the maximum, rushing towards the Five Seed Pomegranate like a thunderbolt.

Aiming to snatch the Five Seed Pomegranate first.

Even if he couldn’t snatch it first, he had to entangle and kill the blood-red figure in the shortest time possible after it had been snatched, to reclaim the invaluable Five Seed Pomegranate.

But there was an unfortunate obstacle in his way; a Goldback Crocodile Dragon with cultivation aura only at the Fifth Stage of Dark Palace Realm conveniently appeared on his path.

And it recklessly launched an attack without fear of death.

In normal circumstances, he wouldn’t even need half a breath to squash this youngling into pulp.

But now, even a tenth of a breath was exceedingly precious.

The Five Seed Pomegranate was immensely valuable; Jii Gongyue had no intention of wasting time on this youngling.

A mere ant, after obtaining the Five Seed Pomegranate, it could be dealt with effortlessly.

Thus, as the fierce little Goldback Crocodile Dragon lunged towards him, Jii Gongyue slightly shifted his figure to bypass it, aiming to intercept and entangle the blood-red figure.

But as he was about to bypass the little ant-like Goldback Crocodile Dragon, a sudden change occurred.

The youngling opened its mouth and spat out a green dragon form phantom, faintly mixed with the sound of a Dragon Roar.

Green flames surged forth!

It was the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames that had previously severely injured Jii Tongduan!

"Three Absolute Poison...."

Jii Gongyue didn’t even have time to shout before he was swallowed by Ye Zhen’s phantom of Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.

Amid the surging green flames, Jii Gongyue let out an angry cry, the golden eye blood pupil on his forehead suddenly opening wide, the blood light spread out like a lotus, protecting his entire body from the upper downwards.

Even though Jii Gongyue reacted swiftly, many parts of his body were still covered by Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames.

What surprised Ye Zhen was that the blood light exploding from Jii Gongyue’s golden eye blood pupil couldn’t be ignited by the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames, which were reputed to sever spirit, body, and soul, and had the effect of burning the bones.

Almost instantly, Jii Gongyue, using the protection of the blood light, shot out of the dragon form phantom like a bolt of lightning.

Due to Jii Tongduan’s previous injury, the instant Jii Gongyue shot out of the dragon form phantom of Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames, he wildly swung his saber, slicing off the parts of his body where the flames clung, including skin, flesh, and even bone.

Otherwise, allowing these flames to burn on his body, especially with their soul-severing characteristic, would not only burn his spiritual energy and flesh but also consume his divine soul power with each one.

He would only grow weaker in battle.

His self-mutilating self-rescue instantly left a quarter of his flesh body bloody, with some areas even exposing stark white bones.

He looked severely injured, but for a Dao Realm expert, this wasn’t a grave concern, and the impact was not significant.

The instant Jii Gongyue shot out of the dragon form phantom, he began to understand.

This was Di Kuohai, whom they had planned against earlier; now he had turned the tables against them.

But by this point, he had no choice; the Five Seed Pomegranate was of utmost importance.

Hence, the instant he shot out of the dragon form phantom, the speed of Jii Gongyue, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, didn’t diminish in the least. Instead, he rushed even faster towards the blood-red figure intending to snatch the Five Seed Pomegranate.

As long as he got the Five Seed Pomegranate, everything else could be sorted.

In an instant, Jii Gongyue’s speed reached its peak.

But what greeted Jii Gongyue was a blood-red, shining supreme Demon Suppression Blade!

Whoosh!

Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal avatar suddenly turned, and the Blood Shadow Long Saber violently expanded to a kilometer in size, striking toward Jii Gongyue with a forceful mountain-splitting posture.

At this moment, Jii Gongyue seemed like a living target sent voluntarily to be sliced by the Long Saber.

This reversal was too abrupt.

Who could have anticipated that the blood-colored figure, intent on seizing the Five Seed Pomegranate, would suddenly turn back and attack it?

In this passive action of stepping up to take the blow, even though Jii Gongyue was a mid Dao Realm expert, he could only hurriedly defend against the Blood Shadow Long Saber with lightning-fast action, using his maximum strength to prevent being cleaved away.

If he were to be cleaved away, his chance to grab the Five Seed Pomegranate would be greatly reduced.

"Boom!"

The thunderous sound of a rolling thunder simultaneously erupted, and at this moment, Jii Gongyue was already trembling all over, plummeting to the ground, while purple Thunder Snakes were chaotically slithering over him.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder had struck the landing spot on his back, turning it into a piece of charcoal.

Jii Gongyue’s eyes had turned completely pale.

He knew he had fallen into the meticulously crafted trap set by Di Kuohai.

He realized that Di Kuohai was indeed cunning, but hadn’t anticipated that Di Kuohai would possess such powerful means—one after another capable of harming him, a mid Dao Realm expert.

First the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames, and now the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

However, as a mid Dao Realm expert and the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue still had some life-saving measures.

The black iron token, a low grade postnatal spirit treasure within his Dao Palace, suddenly radiated with intense brilliance, exploding into a cocoon-like mass of black light that enveloped Jii Gongyue, instantly extinguishing much of Ye Zhen’s Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’s light, allowing Jii Gongyue the ability to act.

This was the life-protecting ability of the acquired spirit treasure.

Jii Gongyue’s low grade postnatal spirit treasure was an exceptionally practical treasure capable of both offense and defense.

However, Ye Zhen had more in store.

Just as Jii Gongyue was recovering, abruptly, two shadows rapidly expanded beneath him, ten heads opening bloodthirsty maws and biting madly at his flesh.

The heart-wrenching pain forced Jii Gongyue, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, to let out an agonized howl.

It was inevitable—anyone whose limbs and abdomen were chewed into pieces would react this way.

More perilously, the vulnerable spots on Jii Gongyue’s head, neck, and heart were being seized by several more bloodthirsty maws.

The claustrophobic cracking of bones signified that those maws intended to grind him into bits.

Being ground to bits would spell the end for Jii Gongyue.

Especially since their clan’s strongest combat power was connected to the third vertical eye on their head; once the physical body was utterly destroyed, the cost of cultivating it anew would be immense.

In an instant, Jii Gongyue fought desperately.

The Primordial Spirit within Jii Gongyue’s Dao Palace roared with fury, and the Dao Palace’s spiritual power surged like a tsunami toward the attacked vital spots.

The head, throat, and heart locations became indescribably resilient under the massive infusion of spiritual power.

Jii Gongyue heard the sound of his meridians suffering damage but also heard the cracking of several fangs breaking.

As a fang broke on one of the heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent, it let out a pitiful howl, spirit light blossomed, and Jii Gongyue managed to escape the peril posed by the bloodthirsty maws of the Nine-Headed Beast and Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

But before Jii Gongyue could feel relieved, the kitten let out an extremely furious tiger roar.

A tiger claw was fiercely gripping Jii Gongyue’s shoulder, and the kitten increased its speed to an extreme.

The extreme speed in that instant was on par with Ye Zhen’s Wind Flash and Sweep.

With that speed, the kitten, carrying Jii Gongyue, recklessly crashed into the solidified lava wall of the distant passageway.

The scene left Ye Zhen stunned.

Ye Zhen never realized that when the kitten got fierce, it could be so astonishing.

The kitten’s breathtaking speed collided with the passageway wall, and though Jii Gongyue suffered greatly, the kitten was unlikely to fare well either.

This caused Ye Zhen to involuntarily let out an exclamation.

Ye Zhen feared for the kitten.

However, as the kitten hurled Jii Gongyue at terrifying speed against the passageway’s rocky wall, a void fluctuation emerged.

The kitten’s figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

Leaving behind Jii Gongyue, eyes wide open in fury, as if fired from a crossbow cannon, crashing against the passageway wall.

The next moment, the entire passageway wall collapsed as if settling rapidly.

The resounding booms of mountainous collapse echoed throughout.

Ye Zhen’s heart also clenched suddenly.

The kitten was indeed ruthless.

Even Ye Zhen felt some pity for Jii Gongyue.

It must hurt terribly.

A slight spatial ripple appeared, and the kitten reappeared beside Ye Zhen, its eyes full of pride.

It cast a taunting glance at the Nine-Headed Beast with one broken fang.

From afar, Jii Yan, who had just used the Primordial Spirit Blood Eye and was preparing to restore the almost decimated flesh of the Primordial Spirit, was dumbfounded.

This scene unfolded too quickly.

Like heaven and earth turning upside down, the victory initially within grasp was intercepted in an instant.

Intercepted so deftly.

By Di Kuohai, whom they had always considered worthless, akin to an ant.

This left Jii Yan stupefied.

Instinctively, he looked toward Jii Gongyue’s direction, but there, the passageway crumbled layer by layer, obscuring vision even from a Dao Realm expert.

The savagery of the Demon Clan incited Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit to let out an enraged howl, ready to attack Ye Zhen.

But before he could act, Ye Zhen casually waved his hand, sending an Evil Punishing Divine Thunder at Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit, rendering it immobilized.

These top-tier Thunder Element Forbidden Arts, like Evil Punishing Divine Thunder and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, are indeed nemeses of the Primordial Spirit.

Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal avatar swiftly approached, detaining Jii Yan’s damaged flesh and Primordial Spirit, as Ye Zhen retrieved a Jade Blade and strode toward the Five Seed Pomegranate!
