Eastern Wasteland's Eight Drum Mountain. Ning Chongxuan, Tao Zhenhong, and Wen Qingxiang appeared at the top of the mountain.
Looking down at the valley with strange rocks and almost no vegetation, Ning Chongxuan said, "According to the map given by Sage Zhang, this is where the Ancient Demon is."
According to the records in the jade slip, to become an Ancient Demon, one had to be at least 3,000 years old. Moreover, Ancient Demons were somewhat similar to Heavenly Demons. They were also favored by the heavens and earth. They didn't need to cultivate to possess magical powers, and after a long time, they would naturally become almighty.
The three of them knew about the abilities of Heavenly Demons, especially since Tao Zhenren had fought with the Jasper Heavenly Centipede. If the latter was not at its peak, they would definitely not be able to deal with it. Therefore, they didn't dare to underestimate it.
When the three of them came, they had concealed their auras. Even if someone of the same generation was here, it would be difficult to detect them within 50 kilometers.
This was not to facilitate a surprise attack, but because they knew that Ancient Demons also sought advantages and avoided disadvantages. If they scared them away, it would be much more troublesome to deal with them later.
Ning Chongxuan glanced at them and said, "According to the rumors, the original form of this demon is a demonic insect. After becoming an Ancient Demon, it called itself the 'Cloud Swallowing Great Sage'. As for what abilities it has, I don't know. Let's test it out first."
Tao Zhenren cupped his hands and said, "Let I give it a try."
In the Nine Continents, he could identify more than 90 percent of the strange birds and beasts, and could even tell their origins and strengths. But in the Mountain and Sea Realm, his previous experience was not enough.
He took out the Origin Diagram of the Walking Beasts and placed it on his arm. The diagram unfurled in an instant, and with a flick of his finger, a crimson ape leaped out. Its eyes rolled wildly, and it leaped toward the valley.
Only then did it reach the valley. Suddenly, a ferocious mouth appeared out of thin air. It was so large that it almost occupied the entire valley. The Scarlet Ape's Soul Essence was swallowed before it could even react. Then, the mouth swayed for a moment before it disappeared.
Although it was only for a moment, the three of them could already see many things.
Ning Chongxuan practiced the Thousand Cloudy Sword Scripture and was good at seizing Qi. He was good at sensing Profound Qi. He examined the aura that he had captured Just Now and said, "This demon's Origin Essence Qi is similar to that of an Elephant Realm cultivator. Its lifespan should be around six to seven thousand years."
Wen Qingxiang thought for a while and said, "The Qi of blood is wide and scattered, not strong. This demon's body seems to have never been tempered. Looking at it this way, it is hard to compare with the body of a Celestial Demon. This is probably the reason. This demon doesn't want to expose its true form in front of others. "
Tao Zhenhong said, "Everything has its ups and downs. Just Now, the Scarlet Ape is called the Fierce Golden Ape. It was difficult for external objects to injure him. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been swallowed by a tyrannical monster, but he should have persisted for a few moments. However, on the diagram, a wisp of his soul had already dispersed. It was obvious that in that instant, his soul had been destroyed. Of course, it was due to his innate abilities, but it was still unknown how big his appetite was. The two of you should be careful later. "
Ning Chongxuan and Wen Qingxiang both nodded. This was the first battle for the cultivators of the Nine Continents after entering the Mountain and Sea Realm. There was no room for mistakes, so they had to be cautious.
Tao Zhenren took out the Nanhua Master Spirit Birds Chart. Originally, he had been unable to use it. Later, he found the secret cultivation method of the Sect Leader in the Nanhua Sect. Just Now, he could open it.
He waved his hand, and in one breath, he released over a thousand spirit birds. However, there were only three types of birds.
One was called the Great Heron. It was huge, and when it spread its wings, it could blot out mountains. The second type was called the Green Goose, and it was good at fighting in groups. The last type was small and exquisite. It was only the size of a finger, and it was called the Subtle Bird. It flew as fast as lightning.
As the spirit birds charged down, a rumbling sound could be heard as the huge mouth once again appeared in the valley below. This time, it wasn't just one, but hundreds of them. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the birds had been swallowed, including the twelve Great Herons. The next moment, the huge mouth appeared again, and swallowed ninety percent of the remaining birds. Only a few managed to escape, and most of them were Subtle Birds.
Ning Chongxuan said coldly, "Just Now, in one breath, the demon has unleashed a total of 638 mouths. Some of them are extremely powerful, even more powerful than the first attack. However, by doing so, its Essence Qi has been greatly reduced. If it could have dealt with all of its problems in one breath, it wouldn't have needed to attack a second time. This number is not its limit, but it's not far from it."
Wen Qingxiang sensed for a while and said, "The demon's Qi of blood has increased slightly. Obviously, swallowing the spirit birds is beneficial to it. It seems that the more prey it swallows, the more benefits it will gain."
Tao Zhenhong pondered for a while and said, "After the Subtle Birds left the valley, the demon stopped pursuing them. Its supernatural power is about a thousand miles in radius. It is not easy to move its body, and to reduce the consumption of spiritual vigor, it is limited to this valley. It is unwilling to leave this place. In this case, I can attack it from afar, and see how it responds."
The three of them only probed twice, and they understood the strengths and weaknesses of the ancient demon. However, to be cautious, they tried a few more times, and they realized that the demon only had one supernatural power.
Even though the power of this supernatural power was not weak, the method was too simple. After knowing its effect, it was not difficult to find a way to counter it. Based on the current situation, if it did not hide anything else, then it would not be too difficult to deal with it.
After a few more words of discussion, the three of them decided to attack.
The three Clear Qi separated, and each of them stood in a position, and attacked with mana.
In the valley, rocks flew, cliffs collapsed, and mountains collapsed. The Devouring Cloud Sage seemed to be enraged, and his whole body drilled out from the ground. He was three thousand feet long, and he looked like a long worm. He had no ears or eyes, and there were only big mouths full of sharp teeth. There were countless fluttering whiskers and hairs, and he looked extremely hideous.
The mana and supernatural power of the three of them went over, but they were swallowed by the big mouths on his body.
Ning Chongxuan was keenly aware that the Qi of Primordial Qi in his body was constantly weakening, and it was obvious that it was not without damage.
After the Devouring Cloud Sage came out, it seemed that Tao Zhenren was the one who started the probing, so he rushed toward him first. Just Now, when he was within a thousand miles, a big mouth appeared where he was standing, and then swallowed him.
Just a moment later, Tao Zhenren's figure appeared in the distance again, without any damage.
Since he knew the ability of this demon, why would he test it with his own body? What was swallowed just now was merely a Shadow Clone that had transformed into a wisp of Qi activity. However, the demon had not been able to distinguish the real from the fake, which surprised him. This meant that the intelligence of this demon was really not high.
Ning Chongxuan saw this scene and immediately changed his strategy. He pointed with his fingers, and hundreds of sword lights slashed down. However, some of them were fake, and less than one-fifth of them could really be used to hurt the enemy.
As expected, the demon did not distinguish, and released hundreds of sharp mouths, swallowing all the attacking Sword Qi.
Wen Qingxiang smiled and waved his sleeve, and the blood threads in the sky closed, turning into thick blood arrows that shot down.
He had just tested that after the big mouth swallowed the first thing, it would need to wait for a moment to come out and show its power. This was a huge flaw.
As the blood arrows fell, they immediately melted holes in the body of the Swallowing Cloud Sage. All the big mouths let out a shrill scream, and immediately gave up on Tao Zhenren, and turned to rush toward Wen Qingxiang.
At the same time, the wounds on his body were slowly healing.
The three of them did not care. Not to mention the Celestial Demon, the strength cultivators in the Nine Continents also had this ability, and to deal with this kind of demon, they only needed to slowly take away the essence of its vitality, and when the oil lamp ran out, it would not be difficult to subdue it.
Wen Qingxiang had been waiting for the demon since it came over. He had always been meticulous, and at this moment, he saw that the demon seemed to be a little slow in moving, which was very different from Just Now. He could not help but feel a little strange. He knew that his attack Just Now was not enough to cause serious damage to it, so after a little observation, he found the reason, and thought to himself, "So this demon does not rely on Spiritual Vigor to identify the enemy, but on the hair on its body."
At this time, the Swallowing Cloud Sage saw that he could not close the distance between the opponent, and suddenly disappeared from his original place. Then, a big mouth appeared in mid-air, and his body jumped out from it.
But in the eyes of the three, it was more like the demon had spat him out.
This kind of movement was very sudden, and if they were not prepared, they might fall into the trap. Wen Qingxiang was very careful. Even though he had a great advantage in the battle, he did not have any carelessness. His body swayed, and he turned into a blood light to escape …
Seeing that the opponent had escaped, the Swallowing Cloud Sage seemed to be anxious, and once again opened a big mouth in mid-air. In an instant, there was a huge suction force, and it sucked the blood light into his mouth and swallowed it.
Ning Chongxuan and Tao Zhenren's expressions did not change. The people of Ling Sect were good at the Death Substitution Technique. If they could kill Wen Qingxiang so easily, it would be a joke.
The Swallowing Cloud Sage, on the other hand, became a little tired at this moment. It seemed that Just Now had consumed a lot of Yuan Qi.
Ning Chongxuan sensed that the essence of his Yuan Qi had been reduced by thirty to forty percent. Of course, he would not let go of this opportunity. With a wave of his hand, thousands of Sword Qi slashed down again. As long as the Sword Qi hit the demon's body or collided with its aura, it would cut off a stream of Qi and return it to the Sword Qi.
When he fought with others, if the opponent was entangled in a head-on fight and did not know how to resolve it, it would only make him stronger as the battle went on.
Naturally, Zhenren Tao and Wen Qingxiang would not stand idly by either. They had completely seen through the demon's abilities. Every time they attacked, it was aimed at its weakness.
There was no suspense in the battle. Less than two hours later, the three of them had exhausted the Swallowing Cloud Sage to death, and Ning Chongxuan collected its body, ready to see if it could be used to refine a magic weapon.
He didn't use much strength in this battle, and he didn't use any magic treasures. This wasn't to say that the ancient demon was too weak. On the contrary, its spells were very powerful. However, the key was that it only knew how to use the spells it was born with and didn't know any tactics.
On the other hand, the Sky Demons of the Nine Continents were very different. Not only were they all fierce and cunning, but they also learned from others, and even refined magic weapons for their own use.
But this was only the first Ancient Demon they had encountered. Whether the others were the same, they still needed to find a way to verify, and could not jump to conclusions.
After the three of them adjusted their breathing in the same place, they discussed a few words with each other, and then took off to search for the next Ancient Demon.
