457: Watch the dragon come out of the pass and move forward from the devil's cave (two-in-one)

"Master!"

"Ma...ster."

Two consecutive cries. The first, of course, was from Star Spirit Shell. As a Great Yao who had reached the Purple Mansion Realm long ago, her ability to speak was no different from a normal person's.

Unconsciously, she also drew closer to Lin Shiming's other Spirit Beasts, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at him.

The latter voice belonged to the Five-Colored Jiao. Its voice was slightly muffled, raw, unnatural, and extremely hesitant, perhaps even shy.

After all, its true master was Lin Shitao, but then it remembered the large number of Jiaolong corpses Lin Shiming still held.

That trace of unnaturalness completely vanished.

"Master!" There was even some excitement in its tone.

"Very good, Five-Colored. How is your Five-Colored Divine Light?" Lin Shiming asked, looking at the Five-Colored Jiao.

This was the most crucial question. During the Profound Rank Secret Realm, Lin Shiming had witnessed the Five-Colored Python's Five-Colored Divine Light, which could even immobilize Magic Treasures.

At critical moments, it would definitely be of great use!

And the Five-Colored Jiao's Bloodline should be even stronger than the Five-Colored Python's, so even though it had just broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, he was exceptionally expectant.

The Five-Colored Jiao also nodded. It let out a long roar, looking up at the sky.

It emitted bursts of roars, its Jiaolong mouth opened wide, and its five-colored scales continuously shimmered with five-colored light.

The next moment, its two horns flashed fiercely, and a burst of five-colored radiant light flew out.

Lin Shiming's Purple Cloud Sword also shot out, slashing towards the five-colored radiant light. However, as soon as the Purple Cloud Twin Swords entered the radiant light's area, they noticeably paused.

Even as his Sword Intent erupted again, at this moment, it was as if it had fallen into a quagmire.

It slowed down by an immeasurable amount.

"Break!" Lin Shiming formed another Spirit Art with his hand, releasing his full Sword Intent. The Sword Intent broke through again, and the five-colored radiant light was instantly shattered with a clanging sound, dissipating into Spirit Light.

The Five-Colored Jiao whimpered, clearly a bit disheartened.

"It's already very strong!" Lin Shiming encouraged. This Five-Colored Jiao had just broken through, and its Five-Colored Divine Light was not yet proficient. Once its Purple Mansion Realm cultivation was stable, its Five-Colored Divine Light would surely be formidable.

"These are for you all!" Lin Shiming took out two Storage Pouches and handed them to Star Spirit Shell and the Five-Colored Jiao respectively.

Star Spirit Shell's pouch contained Fourth-Rank spirit soil and Fourth-Rank spirit water, with a small portion of Fifth-Rank spirit soil and spirit water as well.

The Five-Colored Jiao's pouch contained many corpses of Fourth-Rank Great Yao. Although they weren't Jiaolong, they were Great Yao with powerful Bloodlines.

They would still provide a boost to the Five-Colored Jiao.

"Roar!"

It seemed to sense Lin Shiming's Magic Treasure.

Just then, at the Jiaolong Nest, a black light suddenly flared, and a terrifying spiritual power reappeared. A gigantic black Jiaolong transformed into a black flash and soared into the sky.

"Master, Jiaolong corpse, delicious!" Wang Jiao roared, extremely excited in the Void Realm.

At this moment, Wang Jiao had not broken through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage again; it was still at the Mid Purple Mansion Realm. However, its entire body glowed even brighter, and its ink-black Jiaolong scales were even more delicate, containing an unknown number of spirit patterns.

There was naturally a difference between Jiaolong and Jiaolong. After devouring so many Poison Flood Dragons, Wang Jiao's level, in Lin Shiming's opinion, was at least among the top Jiaolong of the Yao Race. Although it couldn't compare to the Azure Flood Dragon King's level, it was definitely already among the forefront.

Its biggest change was its pair of poisonous Jiaolong horns.

At this moment, the Jiaolong horns were not only more slender, but layers of spirit patterns had appeared on them, containing an inexplicable Aura of potent poison.

When its large mouth opened, countless poisonous viscous fluids appeared. At this moment, if Wang Jiao were to attack, those potent poisons, even a small amount, would be enough to corrode an ordinary Fourth-Rank Great Yao.

As for the claws under its belly, the two large claws remained unchanged, but the small Jiaolong claw had grown considerably and looked even more ferocious.

With this roar, the entire Grotto-heaven World began to tremble, its Aura piercing the sky.

Lin Shiming, surprisingly, did not stop Wang Jiao. Even Cultivators needed to vent after a Breakthrough, let alone Yao Beasts.

So he was happy to see them roar like mad. Of course, if they were usually so noisy within the Grotto-heaven World, Lin Shiming would still use the Soul Restraining Seal to teach them a lesson.

Before Lin Shiming could continue speaking, Wang Jiao looked at the Five-Colored Jiao again:

"Crawl, stay away from me, or this Dragon will eat you!"

Wang Jiao bared its fangs fiercely.

"Alright, now Five-Colored is also a Jiaolong. Stop calling it a 'crawl'!"

"Maintain your strength well; there might be a tough battle ahead!" Lin Shiming was extremely happy to see Wang Jiao's Breakthrough.

Now with three Spirit Beasts having achieved a Breakthrough, the Purple Mansion Realm combat power on this side was greater, and he had more confidence to venture into the Devil's Den!

Lin Shiming took out another spirit beast pouch and handed it to Wang Jiao.

After giving a few instructions, he also exited the Grotto-heaven World.

On the island, heavy rain still poured, and the sea level was dozens of feet higher than before.

Surging waves still rushed towards Yuhai City.

Lin Shiming looked at the gloom at the end of the sea, his eyes growing firmer.

Within the Grand Turtle Concealing Spirit Formation, the Teleportation Array also began to near completion.

Finally, as the brilliant Spirit Light descended, it transformed into a layer of ripples that spread out, then settled back into calmness beneath the Spirit Formation.

Lin Shiming also felt a change in space.

"Seventh Brother, the Teleportation Array has been set up!" Lin Shiyun wiped the sweat from his brow, flew out from underground, and reported to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming also inspected the Formation and then looked at Nine Heavens Hermit and Lin Shiyuan.

After receiving their nods of approval, he took out the purple wind boat and was the first to land on its bow.

"Depart!" Lin Shiming unfurled the Eternal Night Umbrella.

Like a sail, it settled on the purple wind boat.

The purple wind boat, like a fish entering a river, instantly vanished.

It completely merged into the gloomy sky and the heavy rain.

As if it had never appeared!

...Yuhai City, Yuhai City was only a mere hundred li from the sea. For Mortals, a hundred li might take a day and a night to walk.

However, this hundred li of open land was now largely covered by surging waves.

Most Cultivators stood on the city walls, vaguely able to see countless Yao Beasts surfacing in the seawater, roaring and ferociously waving their claws.

The Cultivators on the city walls became even more vigilant, their hands full of Spirit Talismans and Magical Artifacts. Beside the city wall, there were also over a thousand Heavenly Demon Banners of various sizes, fluttering in the wind under the gloomy sky.

On the Devil Banners, Devil Heads, concealed within the devil mist, twisted their bodies as if they were already impatient to rush out of the Devil Banners and slaughter everything.

Chen Xuan, as the Deputy City Lord of Yuhai City, was also extremely uneasy at this moment.

He felt that this beast tide was different.

There were many beast tides in the East Sea, but because they were sea Yao, skilled in underwater combat, once they reached land, apart from Fourth-Rank Great Yao and Fifth-Rank Yao Kings, other Second and Third-Rank Yao Beasts had little combat power.

This was why the Heavenly Demon Sect was so fearless.

But this time, the waves were enormous, and the rain was incessant. Under the dark sky, the water level was gradually approaching Yuhai City.

And at this very moment, on the city wall, a black-robed figure suddenly ascended the wall.

"Greetings, Immortal Master Senior, upon your emergence from seclusion!" Immediately, a series of flattering voices rang out on the city wall.

Real Person Huanmo's cultivation was even higher, and his Aura was even more intimidating. Simply standing there made many demonic Cultivators want to prostrate themselves in worship.

Moreover, within the Heavenly Demon Sect, Real Person Huanmo was the most feared. He could transform into thousands of Clones, and you would never know if he had a Clone beside you.

However, Real Person Huanmo's expression was not good at this moment. He raised his head and looked forward:

"Haoyun, go report to Heavenly Devil Valley, request support, and it must be fast!"

"This time, the Yao Race might be serious!" Real Person Huanmo finished speaking and personally waved his hand, revealing countless Formation Flags that landed in his grasp.

In the center of the city, the Fifth-Rank Spiritual Vein suddenly released its suppression, and the city's protective Formation was activated to its extreme.

Under the brilliant Spirit Light, nine larger Heavenly Demon Banners appeared in front of the Formation.

Devil mist also gradually overflowed from within them.

Wails and howls echoed. At this moment, many Cultivators seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood before their eyes, witnessing floating corpses stretching for miles.

They saw countless Devil Heads swaying, and these countless Devil Heads then condensed into an enormous Giant Tianmo!

Real Person Huanmo's Spirit Art continued, and the devil mist from the nine great Heavenly Demon Banners gradually connected, no longer distinguishable from each other.

It formed an even larger Heavenly Devil Sky-Sealing Grand Formation.

Instantly boosting the confidence of Yuhai City's Cultivators.

In the distance, it seemed that with the appearance of Real Person Huanmo, the rain intensified. Large raindrops crashed more violently into the waves.

They then transformed into tsunamis dozens of feet high, surging towards Yuhai City.

Within the waves, figures of Jiaolong appeared intermittently in the vast sea.

Those Fourth-Rank Great Yao, rarely seen in the past, gradually appeared in large numbers.

The Second and Third-Rank Yao Beasts were even more densely packed, their scale simply uncountable.

The next moment, three figures were seen floating in the vast sea, surging towards them.

The three figures were extremely fast, and the cultivation they displayed was that of Golden Core True Persons. However, these three were not Cultivators, but three Yao King Incarnations!

Real Person Huanmo's heart finally sank to rock bottom.

All three of them were Fifth-Rank Yao Kings, and the most troublesome among them was Ao Yu Yao King in the middle, who was at the Fifth-Rank Middle Stage, just like him.

And the Jiaolong Yao King, among those of the same rank, was almost synonymous with one-on-one combat among peers.

"Ao Yu, are you East Sea Yao Race going to attack the Human Race and be enemies with the entire Human Race?" Real Person Huanmo's words also transformed into rolling thunder that spread out.

"Real Person Huanmo, this time, the three of us are not attacking the Human Race, but merely here for revenge!" The leading middle-aged man replied coldly.

"To borrow a saying from your Human Race, a life for a life, a debt for a debt!"

In his hand, a Jade Slip appeared. The scene in the Jade Slip showed the Evil Ghost Banner wreaking havoc, beheading several Jiaolong within the Devil Banner. The shadow within gradually merged with Lin Shiming's figure.

Coupled with the Seven Stars Plate's name and deduction, the cause of the beast tide was completely clear!

"This is a false accusation. The Heavenly Demon Banners of the Heavenly Demon Sect are not like this!" Real Person Huanmo pointed at the nine Heavenly Demon Banners in the Void Realm and spoke coldly.

"This is information from the Seven Stars Plate. Gold Emperor wouldn't disbelieve it, would he!" Real Person Huanmo threw out a Jade Slip. The Jade Slip also exploded in the Void Realm, revealing Lin Shiming's name, and even his appearance was displayed on it.

It was almost identical to the Jade Slip in Real Person Ao Yu's hand.

For a True Person, they could naturally discern it!

At this moment, the hearts of all the Cultivators in Yuhai City were in their throats.

The last beast tide was also when the Qingxuan Sect killed a member of the Jiaolong Clan and suffered retaliation.

That time, after presenting the Seven Stars Plate's deduction and compensating with some treasures, the Yao Race finally retreated.

This time, they naturally hoped for the same outcome.

"That Lin Shiming is also an enemy of our Heavenly Demon Sect. Within a month, our Heavenly Demon Sect will be able to apprehend the culprit!"

"At that time, he will naturally be at Fellow Daoist Ao Yu's disposal!"

Real Person Huanmo spoke flawlessly.

However, Ao Yu's expression remained unchanged. The waves showed no sign of stopping, and the Yao Race showed no sign of stopping.

"No, Bingfeng is a descendant of Gold Emperor's closest friend. Today, that person must be handed over!" Ao Yu shook his head.

Then he extended a finger, pointing behind Yuhai City.

"Of course, if you don't hand him over, I will retrieve him myself!"

After Ao Yu finished speaking, he suddenly leaped up, transforming into a gigantic sky-blue Blue Jiaolong in the Void Realm.

With a roar, countless Yao Beasts in the vast sea immediately began to leap out, crashing towards Yuhai City's Heavenly Devil Sky-Sealing Grand Formation!

Ten thousand beasts roared in unison, and the waves overturned.

Boom! The entire Sky-Sealing Grand Formation began to tremble.

And countless Yao Beasts, one after another, flew out from the waves, howling and charging towards the Human Race.

Real Person Huanmo also faced the three great Yao Kings alone, and the situation immediately became precarious.

And Haoyun and Chen Xuan, the two Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators, also felt the gravity of the crisis at this moment.

Clearly, the Yao Race had no intention of negotiating this time.

They only wanted to rampage and vent!

Two Fifth-Rank Yao King Blue Jiaolong and one Fifth-Rank Yao King Heavenly Horned Shark, the three Yao simultaneously charged towards Real Person Huanmo. Confronting them were also nine Golden Core Devil Heads.

However, the Devil Heads sealed within the Heavenly Demon Banners were naturally not as powerful as true Golden Core Cultivators. Facing these physically powerful Yao Kings, they seemed somewhat insufficient.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Devil Sky-Sealing Grand Formation was tough enough, supported by a Fifth-Rank Spiritual Vein, and could delay for a very long time!

...On a withered mountain surrounding the Devil's Den, the Eternal Night Umbrella dissipated, and Lin Shiming and the other three appeared on the mountain.

"Wait until tomorrow morning!" Lin Shiming was not in a hurry. He always adhered to one principle: there must be a System prompt.

It took a full day of flying on the purple wind boat to reach the Devil's Den.

During this day, under the System's prompt, they avoided several Yao Kings.

Now that the Devil's Den was right before them, without knowing the specific defenses, Lin Shiming would naturally never act rashly.

Although he was eager for revenge and wanted to obtain nether dark iron wood.

But the prerequisite for all of this was stability.

The four continued to wait quietly. The other three also absolutely trusted Lin Shiming.

They each sat down in a spot, recovering their cultivation and striving to elevate their state to the most perfect condition.

Soon, dawn arrived, and the sunrise on the other side of the mountain revealed faint shadows.

And sure enough, a prompt sounded in Lin Shiming's mind:

"Please note the hidden Yao King of Profound Heart. You will obtain five thousand years of nether dark iron wood!"

As the System prompt sounded, Lin Shiming was completely astonished.

There was a hidden Yao King; this was something he had never expected.

This situation clearly indicated that he was not the only one who wanted to seize this opportunity to plunder resources from the Devil's Den.

It was just that he didn't understand why a Yao King would want to plunder the Devil's Den.

However, this was indeed incredibly good news for him!
