hree peak needlefish! Everyone get to work quickly and try to catch one or two more. This time we'll be coming home loaded!” A middle-aged man named Gui Rong laughed as he pulled out a long spear, sta..."The furthest I've ever been was only to this place before. What lies beyond this storm and lightning, I don't know. But judging by the situation, it's most likely a hidden treasure trove of Zicheng Xian Palace from back in the day. Rumour has it that the essence of Sha Shui, along with one or two other treasures, flowed out from here into the world. The essence of Sha Shui is considered the most precious among them." Xing Yan Lao Gui led his group to stand at the entrance of a dilapidated canyon.

"Since Starrock Daoist knows this place, why bring us here" Cao Fang said with a flicker in his eyes.

"Of course, several fellow cultivators would need to lead the way and explore first. If you want to claim treasures, you must be willing to make some sacrifices. I have brought you here, eliminating most of the dangers in this area. Fellow Cultivator Cao and the others surely wouldn't refuse, would they" Xingyan Monster let out a sinister smile.

"It seems that Star Rock Daoist is sure he's going to defeat us all," Cao Fang said with a snort.

“Since you've all come this far, don't tell me you still believe you have an escape route. If we cooperate, the benefits will be shared among you all. But if you refuse to cooperate, let me remind you that I made some preparations when I arrived here before. It would be unrealistic for any of you to easily leave.” Xingyan Monster didn't hide the threat in his words.

As soon as his words fell, ten humanoid monsters, seemingly composed of water, appeared. They matched the five colors of the Five Fiends' Waves perfectly, with two of each color. Each water spirit exuded a similar aura, seemingly connected to the current thunderstorm. Their exact strength was difficult to gauge, but they were unlikely to be much weaker than Xuanxian masters. Moreover, they held a distinct advantage within this storm.

If all ten Water Spirits could reach the level of a Xuanxian, Star Rock Demon would indeed have no trouble dealing with them. It seems that the other party has gained something here. Controlling such formidable power yet still needing to command them suggests that these Water Spirits, despite their impressive might, must be subject to certain limitations when deployed and are likely unable to stray far from this area.

In an instant, Lu Xia Tian thought of many possibilities. However, this route generally matched the location of Yunxia Palace. It would be a shame to leave now.

Cao Fang and Chi Juan, the celestial fairy, both changed color drastically, apparently not expecting Xing Yan old monster to have such means. The other party's background was far more astonishing than they had imagined.

"Since that is the case, then only Wei Xingyan Daoist's order will be followed. This little girl is weak and alone, and afterwards she still relies on Daoist Wei Xingyan for her protection." Chijuan Yao Xian softened, her figure flashed, and she disappeared into this storm of thunder and rain.

Cao Fang cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth and followed. Since both of them had left, Lu Xia tian naturally didn't linger any longer.

Ten water men surrounded the group of Xing Yan Lao Gui, each emitting a faint glow that merged together, enveloping all five of them.

And the red cuckoo demon fairy, Cao Fang, and Lu Xiaoteng, as soon as they entered this thunderstorm, felt a shocking wave of wetness wash over them.

That dampness seemed to permeate everything. The moment Lu Xia Tian's divine sense touched the outside, he could even sense a tingling sensation of moisture slowly creeping up along his divine sense.

Lu Xia Tian's heart was slightly startled, and he hurriedly retracted his divine sense. He completely confined it within the water bead formed by the essence of the five drops of Sha Shui, which provided some relief from this state.

“Fire Erosion Qi” Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Everything here had changed drastically, being much stronger than what he originally knew. This Fire Erosion Qi could not only directly corrode into a True Immortal’s body, but it could also spread through divine sense. It was truly formidable. In this short period, Lu Xia Tian had accumulated some Fire Erosion Qi within his body, causing a restless and uneasy feeling. This emotion was extremely deadly for a True Immortal or Xuanxian, especially in the current perilous situation.

This part of the fire essence corroded qi entered his body, and relying solely on his fairy yuan, he couldn't expel it. However, Lu Xia Tian wasn't in a hurry. He directly used his dragon yuan to refine it, and his body quickly returned to normal. After realizing the suppressing effect of his internal dragon yuan on the fire essence corroded qi, Lu Xia Tian began to release some of his divine sense again. After all, in this storm of thunder and rain, completely retracting one's divine sense was extremely dangerous.

In contrast, Chi Juan Yaoxian and Cao Fang were in a far worse situation than Lu Xia Tian. Although both of them were powerful Xuanxian cultivators, their immortal essence was simply incomparable to Lu Xia Tian's current dragon essence. They also lacked a dwelling place like the Sha Shui essence. Even if Chi Juan Yaoxian and Cao Fang each used their own defensive measures, they still couldn't avoid being attacked by the Yan Run eroded Qi. As time passed, the accumulated fire erosion Qi in their bodies reached a certain amount. Lu Xia Tian could easily feel that their breathing between breaths was significantly more disordered than usual, which was extremely rare for Xuanxian cultivators to see.

Chi Juan Yao Xian Cao Fang both clearly felt the severity of the scorching corrosive qi. However, in this situation, the two could only do their best to expel the scorching corrosive qi from within their bodies while also doing everything they could to avoid areas where the scorching corrosive qi was most concentrated.

The five people following, led by Starrock Monster, naturally reserved the most energy. With those ahead scouting the way, their consumption was naturally minimal.

Hiss! A cold, low hiss echoed in everyone's ears. The Chi-Juan demon fairy was the weakest and couldn't resist the onslaught of a giant python shrouded in colorful light that swept in with the violent storm. The massive head transformed into five gaping maws, each filled with rows of teeth, ready to bite.

When choosing persimmons, one selects the soft ones to squeeze. This python demon possesses formidable strength, yet it first targeted the weakest of them all, the crimson cuckoo demon fairy.

The crimson qilin fairy, Zhang, spat out several fire spikes and aimed them at the five snake heads. *Boom boom boom*, bursts of light blossomed in the void as the four illusory snake heads exploded, revealing the real snake head on the left. A beam of light erupted from its mouth, forming a small vortex that enveloped the several fire spikes, dispersing their force. For a moment, those fire spikes seemed unable to break free.

At the same time, a python tail swished like a sharp whip and lashed out into the air. The tail was incredibly fast, as if it were going to cleave this world in two. As the python demon moved, its fiery corroding aura was even more intense than elsewhere. Just this concentrated fire corroding aura was enough to give one a headache.

The Chi Que demon fairy was no longer at her peak, and while she hastily blocked the python demon's first attack, she couldn't possibly withstand the second strike, which was even more powerful and came with overwhelming force.

With a loud bang, the python's tail lashed against the Great Crimson Cuckoo Fairy's protective spirit shield. The light extinguished, and the Crimson Cuckoo Fairy let out a scream as her body plummeted downward. The python’s form flashed, continuing its pursuit, but before doing so, it glanced at Cao Fang and Lu Xiaoteng, who was still within the essence of the evil water, with cruel and murderous eyes.he Heavenly Demon Lord shifted back to the lotus avatar. This nameless swordsman, since their first meeting, had always been taciturn. Besides showing great respect for Lu Xia Tian, he kept his distan...
