316: Chapter 316 Emptying the Millennium Herb Garden, the White-haired Mummified Corpse in the Blood Pool!

The giant beast opened its blood-stained maw and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The sound wave stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the flowers and plants in the herb garden askew, causing many precious petals to fall off.

Mary hovered in mid-air, covering her ears with both hands, her face full of disgust.

"This monster is so loud, it's making me dizzy. It's ugly, too; a lion's head with a tiger's body, and a long snake tail dragging behind. It's nauseating just to look at."

Mary pursed her rosy lips.

The giant beast ignored Mary's complaints and fiercely swept its thick tail across the ground.

Whoosh!

The tail, like a pillar supporting the heavens, carried a sonic boom that tore through the air as it lashed out viciously at everyone.

Chu Ling stepped forward, her ice-blue long dress fluttering in the wind.

She quickly formed hand seals, and a deep blue cold Qi gushed out, forming an ice wall one meter thick in front of her.

Bang!

The tail slammed heavily against the ice wall.

The hard ice wall was instantly covered in cracks, then shattered with a boom, turning into ice shards filling the sky.

Chu Ling was knocked back several steps before she could barely steady herself.

"Such strong brute force. Its shell is even harder than iron."

Chu Ling shook her numb wrists, her eyes becoming grave.

The ancient Tomb-Guard Beast at the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage was truly not to be underestimated.

Su Yang stepped forward and pulled Chu Ling behind him.

"You all step back, don't damage the Immortal Plants on the ground. These are all my private property; it's a waste to ruin even one."

Su Yang's tone was calm, as if the massive beast before him was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Seeing Su Yang step forward, a fierce glint flashed in the giant beast's copper-bell-sized eyes.

It opened its lion mouth and spat out a stream of black poisonous fire.

The poisonous fire was mixed with a strong corrosive odor, and the surrounding air was burned until it distorted and warped.

Su Yang did not dodge or avoid it, clenching his right fist.

Golden Pure Yang True Fire, mixed with purple-blue lightning, danced wildly on his fist.

After the Fusion of the nine heavens thunder marrow, the power of the Pure Yang True Fire had undergone a heaven-shaking change.

Su Yang met the poisonous fire and threw a punch.

The golden-purple fist radiance instantly shattered the black poisonous fire, and with undiminished force, it slammed fiercely into the giant beast's head.

Boom!

A dull, loud noise echoed in the underground herb garden.

The giant beast's massive body was knocked back repeatedly, a large patch of green scales on its head shattered, and blood sprayed wildly.

It was completely enraged, waving its two tiger-like front claws and lunging madly at Su Yang.

Su Yang let out a disdainful snort.

He kicked off the ground with both feet, instantly blasting a large pit into the floor.

His body shot into the sky like a cannonball.

He leaped onto the top of the giant beast's head, his fists falling like raindrops.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each punch carried the force of a thunderbolt.

The giant beast's hard skull was beaten into a severe depression, and the golden-purple flames crawled through the wounds into its body, frantically destroying its vitality.

"Awoo—"

The giant beast let out a painful howl, its massive body collapsing to the ground with a boom, crushing a large patch of Spiritual Plants.

It struggled a few times on the ground and then went completely still.

A Tomb-Guard Beast at the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage was beaten to death by Su Yang with just a few punches.

The whole process was clean and efficient, without using any fancy Spells.

Su Yang dug a fist-sized green inner core out of the giant beast's head.

The inner core contained massive wind-attribute and poison-attribute spiritual power.

He threw the inner core to Mary.

"Take it as a snack."

Mary caught it happily, beaming from ear to ear: "Thank you, Boss! You're the best to me, Boss!"

After dealing with the monster, Su Yang turned to look at the garden full of Immortal Plants.

This herb garden covered an area of ten thousand square meters and was filled with rare flowers and plants that had long been extinct in the outside world.

If he didn't take them all, it would be a disservice to the trip he had made.

Su Yang's thought stirred, and a dazzling silver light flashed from between his brows.

The power of the world king bead was instantly released.

A huge silver vortex appeared above the herb garden.

"Collect!"

Su Yang quickly formed hand seals.

The soil on the ground, along with the ten-thousand-year Immortal Plants growing on it, were uprooted by the silver vortex like a giant carpet and continuously sucked into his inner world.

The wind howled, and the soil flew about.

In just over ten minutes, the ten-thousand-square-meter herb garden became bare, with not even a single weed left.

Only the black rock ground at the very bottom remained.

Qin Snowji looked at the barren ground before her and couldn't help but swallow.

The Boss's moving-house style of looting was truly an eye-opener.

Even the saying "plucking the goose as it flies" was not enough to describe the thoroughness of this looting.

After the soil was taken away, the black rock underneath was revealed.

Bai Li stepped forward, her purple eyes fixed on a spot in the center of the ground.

"Husband, look here."

Bai Li pointed to the rock under her feet.

Su Yang looked in the direction Bai Li pointed.

He saw a complex circular Formation carved into the black rock.

In the center of the Formation, there was a black passage leading underground.

Gusts of eerie wind blew from the passage, mixed with a strange smell of blood.

"There's actually a space hidden under the herb garden?"

Chu Ling poked her head out curiously.

Su Yang clenched his fist and slammed it onto the Formation.

Bang!

The Formation shattered instantly, turning into a pile of rubble.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Su Yang took the lead and walked down the passage.

The stairs were steep, and the walls were covered in dark red moss.

The further down they went, the more humid and cold the air became.

Qin Snowji followed closely behind Su Yang.

The dim light and strange smell around her made her hair stand on end.

She reached out her hands and hugged Su Yang's arm tightly, her soft chest pressing against his arm.

Su Yang noticed Qin Snowji's nervousness and ignited a ball of golden flame at his fingertips, illuminating the surroundings.

After walking for about half an hour, the stairs finally came to an end.

A huge bronze door appeared in front of them.

The bronze door was half-ajar, with a faint red light shining from inside.

Su Yang walked up and pushed open the bronze door.

The heavy sound of metal grinding echoed in the underground space.

Behind the door was a spacious hall.

The style of the hall was completely different from the karst cave outside, exuding an ancient and bloody scent.

In the center of the hall, there was a huge blood-colored pool.

The pool was filled with viscous red liquid, bubbling continuously.

Every time a bubble burst, it emitted a strong, putrid odor.

In the very center of the blood-colored pool, a transparent crystal coffin was suspended.

Inside the coffin lay a mummified corpse covered in white hair.

A black dagger was plunged into the chest of the mummified corpse, pinning it tightly to the bottom of the coffin.

"What kind of Formation is this? Using a blood pool to nourish a corpse?"

Chu Ling frowned.

She was an expert at playing with corpses and could tell at a glance that this mummified corpse was not simple.

"It looks like an ancient corpse-nurturing technique. This mummified corpse had a high cultivation level before death, and after death, it was pinned here to absorb the resentment of the blood pool."

Bai Li gently waved her round fan and gave her judgment.

Just as everyone stepped into the hall.

The mummified corpse in the crystal coffin suddenly opened its eyes.

Two balls of green ghost fire flickered violently in its eye sockets, as if it had smelled the scent of living people.

The mummified corpse let out a shrill roar.

It did not break out of the coffin like an ordinary zombie, but instead raised its hands, which were covered in long nails, and gripped the black dagger plunged into its chest.
