The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 632 - 270: A Reckless Tune, Gift to a Bosom Friend_1

Five days later.

The black demonic Qi exclusive to the Abyss lingered in the sky, creating a gloomy world.

The ground was incredibly damp. With every step, one’s foot sank into the nauseating sludge, with the crunching sound of breaking bones clearly audible.

"Ah~ Ahhh~~~"

Several young Mud Demons hastily burrowed back into the earth, not daring to sneak out and play anymore.

Not far away, a Bream Demon Dragon was sprawled on the ground, fluttering its tail about, absorbed in taking a bath.

Even further away, the roaring of giant beasts was unending, occasionally accompanied by the thudding sounds of flesh colliding against flesh. It was unclear whether they were fighting over territory or if it was the mating season, and they needed to compete fiercely for a mate’s favor.

...

The thriving island of Demon Dragons was an incredibly fresh and novel sight.

After a long search, Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying finally found a Demon Lake.

The so-called Demon Lake was not black, but a mixture of various colors.

The most strikingly vivid green, signified a natural, potent poison, safe for soak only for species of the poison category.

The eerily red color was actually a lake of blood. When Demon Dragons became desperately hungry and could not find prey, they would fill their bellies here by drinking blood.

The purest blue was a water source of Spiritual Spring quality - natural, harmless, and capable of prolonging life if consumed regularly.

The presence of these elements resulted in a richly diverse assortment of ecological species gathering along the Demon Lake’s edge.

Ye Hanjun, hiding under the shadows of trees, was extending and concentrating his senses.

He noticed a flock of Crow Demon Dragons flying in groups in the sky.

The call of these Demon Dragons was exceedingly noisy, which deterred other species from getting close.

Finding temporary peace, the Crow Demon Dragons lowered their altitude under their leader’s command. Half of the pack descended to bathe in the clear water of the Demon Lake.

The other half continued to hover in the air, their demonic eyes open wide, vigilant for any slackness.

Shortly, while the two groups of Crow Demon Dragons were rotating their shifts, Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying slipped into the shadows and bypassed them with their unpredictable movements.

"Huh, isn’t that a Robbing Demon Dragon?"

Ye Liuying suddenly stopped and pointed to one side of the Demon Lake with a face full of surprise.

Ye Hanjun also noticed that direction. A group of smaller, tri-dactyl Demon Dragons were digging through the sludge, sifting through various decomposing corpses.

"There are eight of them. The weakest are at Mie Degree’s Virtual Pull stage, and the strongest are at the Great Completion stage."

"While no other Demon Dragons are close by... attack!"

After the brief conversation, the two reached a consensus.

Ye Hanjun controlled Mo and rushed to perform ’Request Beating’.

The Robbing Demon Dragons too were fierce and showed no intention of fleeing. They stamped their three-clawed feet into the muddy ground, their serpent-like tails whipping around rapidly.

"Wudong!"

The Stone Giant materialized and sent a Robbing Demon Dragon flying with a powerful kick. It crashed into a rock, its head bleeding profusely, and it no longer able to stand.

"Snap!"

Ye Hanjun manipulated his tentacles to ensnare the strongest Robbing Demon Dragon. With a strong pull, he tore open a hole in its abdomen.

The remaining tentacles moved like spider legs, dragging Ye Hanjun’s body forward.

When he reached his target, he exerted force to press his body’s weight onto the Robbing Demon Dragon. Simultaneously, the tentacles constricted around its neck, giving it no chance to even catch its breath.

"Hiss... hiss..."

The leader of the Robbing Demon Dragons struggled desperately. The remaining Robbing Demon Dragons frantically attacked Ye Hanjun.

Ye Hanjun swiftly unleashed ’Despair Storm’, striking every living creature indiscriminately within its scope.

All five Robbing Demon Dragons screamed. Their eyeballs bulged out, and their limbs weakened, leaving them unable to stand.

"Crack!"

Ye Hanjun snapped the neck of the Robbing Demon Dragon leader, and it fell lifelessly.

The remaining four Robbing Demon Dragons were methodically eliminated as well.

The Stone Giant had already decided its victor. The last two Robbing Demon Dragons all had their heads exploded, dead beyond doubt.

"You take on two, and I’ll handle six. We need to move fast!"

Ye Hanjun didn’t cancel his ’Ring of Control.’ He continued in his form merged with Mo, tearing apart the corpses of the Robbing Demon Dragons.

Ye Liuying nodded and immediately recalled the Stone Giant. His short blade spun around impressively in his hand, descending onto the neck of a Robbing Demon Dragon.

Shortly after, all sorts of peculiar items were piled up on the ground.

There were intact Millennial Elixirs, and there were rust-stricken metal blocks.

Ye Hanjun found a Dragon Blood Stone the size of a fist. A satisfied smiled appeared as he recognized its value.

Robbing Demon Dragons loved treasure hunting. Their stomachs contained both a digestive system and a space for storing treasures.

Splitting their bellies open was like opening a blind box, always filled with surprises.

Take this Dragon Blood Stone, for instance. It was as lustrous as jade and hot to the touch, likely a remnant of a Demon Dragon from the Heaven and Earth stage after it fell, its residual essence solidifying into this form.

"Give it to the Stone Giant, or you can use it on the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum."

Ye Hanjun tossed it to Ye Liuying, who caught it with his backhand with ease, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

"I have some Wind Elemental leaves here that we can give to Huazhu."

Ye Liuying tossed out a few sword-like leaves, and Ye Hanjun, who had returned to his human form, pinched them between his fingers, and put them in his medicine box.

"ROAR!!"

From a distance, a Demon Dragon caught the scent of blood and was fast approaching.

Both Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying had no intention of sticking around to battle. They threw a few flasks of burning flower juice onto the ground, struck a flint, and a pillar of fire surged instantly towards the sky.

"Let’s go!"

The two disappeared into the shadows once more, continuing their exploration along the banks of the Demon Lake.

This time, their primary target was the Illusory Demon Dragon, a relatively rare breed compared to other dragon species.

However, with their foundational knowledge as aid, their efficiency in finding clues was far more reliable than aimlessly scrambling around.

"ROAR!"

"ROARR!!!

"Ah~ Ahhh~~~"
