#488 - Dragon and Sword
Very quickly.
Su Chen and his group arrived at the bottom of the cave, and the surrounding environment suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground space before them.
The scene at the bottom of the cave also made everyone gasp, revealing looks of shock!
Appearing before them was the skeleton of a mysterious creature over a thousand feet tall, resembling a lizard, but with a pair of wide wings on its back, emitting a red and black flame throughout its body.
An unimaginable, terrifying pressure swept over them!
Even powerful figures like Su Chen and Hong Meng were tense, feeling like leaves in a storm under this immense pressure, ready to be submerged at any moment.
This was the most powerful and terrifying pressure they had ever encountered!
Even more shocking was that the head of this mysterious creature was pierced by a giant black sword, pinning it directly to the ground!
The black giant sword was engraved with mysterious patterns, and upon it were countless eyes, tightly shut, with a bizarre and hideous appearance.
Just a glance at it filled one with fear and dread, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
This was a suppression from the depths of one's being, as if the power contained within the sword was the natural enemy of the human race!
Most of the skeleton of this mysterious creature had decayed, its body melting and slowly flowing, gathering into a large pool of pus and blood on the ground, emitting a pungent, bloody, and foul odor!
Even so, terrifying pressure still lingered on the skeleton, making it extremely frightening!
Gulp!
Hong Meng and the others swallowed hard, their faces full of shock and disbelief, wearing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"This is… the legendary Demon Dragon!"
"This pressure is so powerful, this Demon Dragon must have been a terrifying existence at the Celestial God Realm level during its lifetime!"
Hong Meng's voice even trembled slightly!
Celestial God Realm!
Looking at the entire God Realm, they were absolute powerhouses, enough to dominate a region and deter all directions.
In the current Chuyun Dao Province, there wasn't even such a powerhouse on the surface!
Moreover, Demon Dragons were an extremely powerful and terrifying alien beast, with combat power far exceeding ordinary Celestial Gods, yet it was nailed to the ground by a black giant sword!
How unbelievable was this!
"That Violent Ape leader seems to have transformed after swallowing some of the pus and blood formed from the Demon Dragon's flesh."
Seeing a row of fresh footprints on the ground ahead, Su Chen quickly guessed the truth.
Immediately afterward, everyone's eyes locked onto the giant black sword, their gazes burning with greed and fervor!
To be able to nail a Celestial God Realm Demon Dragon to death, this black giant sword must be a Heaven-Rank magic treasure, and its grade must be extremely high!
Su Chen, Hong Meng, and the others, as if by prior agreement, all burst out with astonishing speed, rushing towards the black giant sword!
Bang!!
But before they could get close, the residual Celestial God pressure on the Demon Dragon's body pressed down like the sky, blasting Su Chen, Hong Meng, and the others away, causing blood to spill from the corners of their mouths.
The Celestial God Realm was simply too powerful, and their cultivation was too weak!
Even if it was just a corpse and remains, it was not something they could touch!
Su Chen's eyes flickered, and without making a sound, he opened his palm, and the Myriad Manifestation Divine Eye emerged, lighting up with wisps of light, recording and replicating all the power of the Demon Dragon and the black giant sword!
To Su Chen's regret, the Myriad Manifestation Divine Eye had only recovered to the Origin-Rank quality and could not completely restore the power of the Celestial God Realm level.
However, it was enough to deal with True God Realm powerhouses!
"Damn it…"
Hong Meng and the others clenched their fists, their eyes full of unwillingness and annoyance, watching a Heaven-Rank treasure right in front of them, but unable to get close.
This feeling almost drove them crazy!
Just then, Xin Yan, who had been quietly following behind Su Chen, suddenly moved.
Her head of black hair fluttered, instantly turning blood-red, and blood-light lit up in her eyes.
Her heart beat violently, emitting a mysterious power, and she floated directly into the air.
"Hmm?!"
Under the incredulous gazes of Su Chen, Hong Meng, and the others, Xin Yan slowly floated above the Demon Dragon!
The black giant sword trembled slightly, and wisps of dark light flickered, gradually shrinking until it floated in front of Xin Yan, and she grabbed it!
"This, how is this possible…"
Hong Meng and the others were all stunned, their mouths agape, their heads buzzing.
This was a Heaven-Rank treasure!
Xin Yan's cultivation was only at the Initial God Realm, how could she fly up and subdue the Heaven-Rank treasure!
This was simply like a dream, shocking Hong Meng and the others, almost making them disbelieve their eyes!
Only Su Chen's heart stirred, keenly aware of Xin Yan's change.
"The Demonic Heart has awakened on its own!"
"Could this sword be related to the Demon God bloodline in her body?"
Su Chen vaguely speculated.
It wasn't that Xin Yan had subdued the black giant sword, but that the sword had taken the initiative to recognize its master!
Xin Yan held the mysterious black sword, her eyes tightly closed, and mysterious patterns lit up on the sword, turning into Demonic Runes that continuously poured into Xin Yan's body.
Xin Yan's power also soared rapidly!
After a quarter of an hour, Xin Yan's cultivation had unexpectedly risen to the peak of the Initial God Realm Ninth Level, and the mysterious black sword in her hand had also converged its light, slowly disappearing into her dantian.
Xin Yan opened her eyes, and a dark light flashed in her pupils.
She returned to Su Chen's side, her eyes full of excitement and joy, almost unable to stop herself from jumping up!
"This is a Heaven-Rank Supreme Treasure, the Corrosive Demon Sword!"
"Moreover, I obtained a mysterious cultivation method from the Corrosive Demon Sword, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art!"
"This is only the first level of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, but its grade has already reached Heaven-Rank!"
"Don't move, I'll pass the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to you!"
Xin Yan's eyes were bright, the smile on her face unable to be suppressed, and she immediately transmitted her voice to Su Chen, sharing her joy.
Then, she extended her soft and delicate little hand, pressing it on Su Chen's forehead, and passed the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art she had obtained to Su Chen.
"Heaven Devouring Demonic Art?"
Su Chen's heart stirred, also realizing the mystery and terror of this cultivation method.
Just the first level had Heaven-Rank quality.
If it were the complete Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, it would definitely be a God-Rank cultivation method, and a top-tier one among God-Ranks!
"System, give me a Comprehension Stone!"
Su Chen decisively bought a Comprehension Stone from the system store, preparing to comprehend the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art.
[Ding, successfully purchased Comprehension Stone.]
[Total Luck Value: 413000]
As the system prompt sounded, a Comprehension Stone appeared in Su Chen's storage space.
But Su Chen did not immediately comprehend the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, but silently grasped the Heavenly Abyss, his gaze falling on Hong Meng and the others.
Xin Yan also licked her lips, a fierce light flashing in her eyes!
Although Su Chen and Xin Yan were disciples of Old Demon Black Mountain, they were ultimately unfamiliar with him.
The two sides had only known each other for more than a month, and had not yet established enough trust and affection!
If Old Demon Black Mountain knew that Xin Yan had obtained a Heaven-Rank magic treasure, he would likely try to snatch it!
Even if Old Demon Black Mountain didn't snatch it, other powerhouses from the Netherworld Demon Sect would definitely target Xin Yan.
Perhaps those old monsters hidden in the dark within the Netherworld Demon Sect would also be alarmed!
