My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again

Chapter 22

Boom, boom, boom…

The sounds of intense battle could be heard.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu rushed to the scene to take a look.

It turned out that there were two giant snakes—one red and one green; one thick and one thin—fighting among themselves.

The two snakes were huge, and one of them was more than a meter in diameter. When they communicated and cooperated, they caused a huge commotion.

Judging from the aura emanating from their bodies, one of them was relatively weak while the other’s ‘cultivation’ had reached the level of a Qi Refining cultivator.

This was already a proper demonic beast.

The two snakes got carried away. Suddenly, the ground shook.

The trees fell down as a huge figure emerged from the forest and appeared in front of the snake.

It was a huge brown bear.

The snakes were alert. They raised their bodies and faced the brown bear. They lifted their heads high and hissed their forked tongues as if they were warning him.

Demonic beasts that had yet to form their Golden Cores could not be called great demons, but they already had a certain level of intelligence.

The brown bear had come here to ruin its plans. Demonic beasts devoured each other to increase their strength. How could it care about the other party’s threat?

At this crucial moment, it would naturally take advantage of the snake’s weakness to take its life.

This was called coming prepared.

The brown bear let out an angry roar and pounced forward. The snake was entangled by its mate and could not react in time.

Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu watched the show from outside the battle ring.

The aftermath of the battle stirred up a strong wind. Trees exploded and soil flew everywhere.

The snake opened its mouth and spat out a pitch-black flame. The brown bear’s fur emitted a faint golden light, blocking the high temperature.

This was the bloodline power of the demon beasts. However, both parties in the battle were not in high stages, so they could not use it too many times.

Cheng Lingzhu stood on the tree trunk and looked at the two snakes that were still entangled together. She asked, “Senior Brother Lu, is this considered a Dao partnership?”

Just as Lu Xuan was about to answer, he saw the thick snake’s body shrink and twist, squeezing the other half of its body into a few pieces, and the pieces of its lover fell to the ground.

Lu Xuan was silent for a moment.

“Obviously not.”

After personally killing the mate he liked, the snake was no longer bound. Its combat strength immediately soared, and it counterattacked the brown bear.

The brown bear was not afraid at all. Its strength was already a little stronger than the snake, and it had the upper hand. There was naturally no reason for it to lose.

After a few minutes, the snake fell to the ground, dying. The brown bear was covered in wounds, swaying and roaring towards the sky.

Just as it raised its head, it noticed Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu standing on the tree.

Perhaps it had been sealed in the Secret Mystical Realm for too long, but the brown bear had never seen a terrifying upright ape.

His first reaction was to raise his bear paw, then howl and pounce.

With a squelch, a flower of blood bloomed.

Cheng Lingzhu flicked her fingers and shot out a sword energy, beheading the brown bear.

“This snake isn’t dead yet.”

Lu Xuan could sense the life force within the snake.

As soon as it approached, the dying snake suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth to vomit.

Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and the snake’s divine soul suddenly shattered. The head that had just been raised drooped down weakly.

Now, it was dead.

“Are the beasts in the Secret Mystical Realm that malicious to humans?”

Lu Xuan was puzzled.

He was a dignified Golden Core big shot. If he emitted his aura, the demon beasts would definitely be able to sense it.

A little Qi Refining demon that was seriously injured and on the verge of death did not bow down when he saw a Core Formation demon approaching. Instead, he took the initiative to attack.

This went against the instincts of demonic beasts.

“Could Senior Huan Zhen be a mighty figure of the ancient demon race and is hostile to the human race?” Cheng Lingzhu guessed.

“It’s possible.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

He didn’t have any ill feelings towards the demons. The current situation in the Archean Eon Realm was different from the ancient times. The relationship between humans and demons was relatively harmonious.

Moreover, there were many good-looking demonesses. All of them had thin waists, long legs, perky buttocks, and a natural charm. Every frown and smile of theirs was very seductive.

Lu Xuan had a deep impression of this because Cheng Hongtan had often dragged him to check them out in the past.

Lu Xuan asked his master to be more serious, and Cheng Hongtan replied righteously, “Master, I like to look at beautiful women. If I don’t look at beautiful women, do I look at men?”

Lu Xuan felt that what she said made sense, so he followed her and watched.

Just as he was thinking about his master, Cheng Lingzhu suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Xuan turned his head and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

An earthen yellow stream of air rose from the brown bear’s headless corpse and floated toward Cheng Lingzhu.

Cheng Lingzhu extended her hand and touched it lightly. The strange energy flowed through her white fingertips and into her body.

Cheng Lingzhu sensed for a moment before raising her hand.

A strange light lit up on her hand. The white hand disappeared and was replaced by a bear paw.

It was as if she was wearing a glove. Because Cheng Lingzhu was pretty, she looked very cute when she waved her bear paw.

However, this bear paw was clearly not only cute.

Cheng Lingzhu lightly waved her hand to the side, and three golden lights lit up. Like sword rays, all the trees within ten meters were cut in half as easily as tofu.

“It’s very powerful.”

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised.

The brown bear just now didn’t show such a special ability.

It was not just the brown bear. On the other side, a green cyclone also appeared on the snake’s corpse.

Lu Xuan touched it with his hand, and the vortex merged into his body.

A moment later, he raised his hand and gestured to Cheng Lingzhu. Densely packed green scales appeared on the back of his hand.

The green scales were very sturdy and could withstand the full-force attack of a Qi Refining cultivator.

“After killing the demon beast, you can absorb the cyclone and directly obtain the power of the demon beast.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes darkened. “Senior Huan Zhen is really generous.”

He looked at the scales on the back of his hand, then at Cheng Lingzhu’s bear claws.

Yes, he had heard about it.

“Senior Brother Lu, the power of this demon beast is a little strange. It’s better not to absorb it,” Cheng Lingzhu said.

She made a hand seal and opened her mouth to spit out a stream of air to drive this force away.

As a disciple of a top-notch immortal sect, Cheng Lingzhu possessed a secret technique. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to touch the vortex.

“Not bad.” Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.

After all, he wasn’t a ferry-con, so he didn’t have such a need.

The use of external objects, such as medicinal pills and heavenly artifacts, was not taboo in cultivation as long as he didn’t rely too much on them.

After all, strictly speaking, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was an essential external object for cultivation. The cultivation techniques and handwritten notes left behind by predecessors were also external objects that could affect one’s thoughts and soul.

Overly rejecting external objects would completely isolate oneself from the outside world, walking into the wrong path and cutting off one’s own path.

However, in this mystical realm, the energy that could be absorbed after killing a demon beast was clearly not within the range of normal external objects.

Lu Xuan could sense that there was some sort of Dao contained within the vortex, but it did not seem complete.

Absorbing such an unknown thing into his body would bring hidden dangers to his cultivation.

Of course, Lu Xuan was not afraid. He could even refine existences at the level of the Ancestral Magus. With just a thought, he could obliterate the green cyclone.
