The Heavens: From the Transcendence of the Coiling Dragon to the Devouring of the Heavens

Chapter 146 Black Mountain Demon, Xiaoqian

"Roar!"

As he upgraded, Lin En let out a low roar unconsciously. Covered by the black robe, his body began to change dramatically. His originally black skin became lighter in color, and his muscles and bones became stronger, and his strength became stronger.

There were even signs that his heart was recovering, and he was slowly transforming into a normal living being.

Several inches long green hair sprouted from his body, wrapping up his entire body like a suit of armor.

He finally became a 'big green-haired dumpling'!
Moreover, after upgrading to a green bronze corpse, he also gained a natural magic skill that was bestowed upon him by heaven and earth.

Innate magic skill 'Earth Escape'!
Zombies are originally of earth attribute, born from the ground, so it is not surprising that they possess the innate ability of "earth escape".

……

"Brother Lin, are you okay?" Yan Chixia walked quickly to Lin En and asked with concern.

After being hit by so many soul-capturing black lights from the white-robed messenger, Yan Chixia believed that if it were him, he would have been killed long ago.

"I'm fine. On the contrary, I feel very good now!" Lin En stood up and looked at the tree demon who was fighting fiercely with A Qiang in the distance.

At this moment, the tree demon saw that the white-clothed messenger had been killed by Lin En, and he burrowed into the ground and disappeared!

"Still want to escape?" Seeing this scene, Zhiqiu Yiye became excited. It was finally his turn to show his power.

But then, he saw that Lin En had already escaped underground before him. Zhiqiu Yiye was stunned: "Master Lin, can he also escape underground?"

"I'll go down and help him!" Zhiqiu Yiye also used the earth escape technique and drilled into the ground.

……

“Is this earth escape?” Lin En was moving quickly through the mud, but he didn’t feel suffocated or held his breath at all.

Earth escape is a bit like a mysterious "earth walking technique" in the earth element law of the Panlong world. The gods who have comprehended the earth walking technique can travel freely in the earth without hindrance.

Quickly going deeper into the soil, Lin En noticed that many tree roots around him were rapidly shrinking in a certain direction.

"Does this tree demon want to escape?" Lin En chased after it without hesitation.

He has now been upgraded to a green bronze corpse. Not only is his strength not inferior to that of a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm, but his body is also protected by a magic-breaking armor formed by green hair, making him invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

"Boom!"

Lin En fell suddenly into a huge cavity underground, which was the palace of the tree demon grandma.

An ugly woman was here, commanding all the tree roots to retract and prepare to run away together. She didn't expect that Lin En would catch up so quickly.

"This place is at least several hundred meters above the ground! It's impossible for him to dig a hole so fast, he will burrow underground!" The tree demon grandmother immediately figured it out, and after figuring it out, her first reaction was: "You dare to chase me alone, you are really courting death, this grandmother will take your life right now!"

She was no match for the four of them. But how dare a mere Qi Refining Stage junior catch up with her? Did he really think she was made of clay?

But the next second——

"Pong!"

Lin En punched the tree demon's incarnation to pieces, causing it to wail again.

"How is this possible? You are clearly a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, how could you suddenly become a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm!" The entire palace began to shake, an incarnation was blown up, and the tree demon suffered even more serious injuries than before.

Lin En snorted coldly: "What a trouble! Where is the real life core of this tree demon hidden? I can only smash you to pieces!"

Suddenly, Lin En turned into a demolition team and started wreaking havoc underground. How powerful could such a bronze zombie with a body as strong as copper or iron?
The tree demon's rock-hard roots broke into large pieces under his attack. Soon, the entire palace and the tree roots surrounding the palace were blown into pieces by him.

A huge oval-shaped tree heart gradually appeared at the bottom, and the face of the tree demon could be vaguely seen flashing on it. The life core and soul of the tree demon were hidden in this tree heart.

The tree demon began to beg for mercy: "Master, spare my life! I have never harmed those upright gentlemen. Those who were killed by me were all lustful people!"

Lin En snorted coldly: "Humph, what a joke! What man is not lustful? Is lust a big sin? I'm going to be killed by you!"

"Die!" Lin En stopped talking nonsense and clenched his fists into the heart of the tree.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

He didn’t know how many punches he threw until he could no longer hear the tree demon’s screams. Ten more origin points appeared on the translucent panel, and Lin En finally stopped.

“After the upgrade, the number of origin points obtained by killing demons has decreased again!” Lin En sighed slightly and added the origin points to his cultivation.

He looked at the translucent panel: Realm: Green Bronze Corpse (46/100).

“Fortunately, the source points required for upgrading have not increased. If I kill six more demons in the Spirit Transformation Realm, or one demon in the Return to Void Realm, I can upgrade to a Silver-Winged Yaksha!” The first thing Lin En thought of was Pu Du Ci Hang, the centipede demon mentioned by Zhiqiu Yiye, who was lurking in the dynasty, stealing the dynasty’s fortune and intending to transform into a dragon.

“If Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu Yiye and the others were both in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, we could give it a try!” Lin En shook his head: “Now, I’m afraid we can’t kill that old monster!”

At this moment, Zhiqiu Yiye also used the earth escape technique to find this place.

"Hey, Master Lin, have you killed the tree monster?" As Zhiqiu fell to the ground, he saw broken tree branches all over the ground, and Lin En standing beside them.

Lin En nodded: "Yes! I have killed the tree demon!"

After becoming a bronze corpse, his movements were almost the same as those of ordinary people. Even the subtle movements like nodding were done easily.

Zhiqiu Yiye's expression froze when he heard this: "No, there is still the scent of ghosts here! I smell you, why don't you come out!"

Lin En thought that the ghost aura he was talking about was himself. After all, his current form was a zombie. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a graceful figure in white clothes slowly emerging from the ground.

"I am Xiaoqian, a commoner. Thank you for saving my life, hero!" The beautifully dressed figure bowed gracefully.

"How dare you pretend? I can tell at one glance that you are a ghost, not a human!" Zhiqiu Yiye immediately prepared to use thunder magic to give this female ghost a treatment.

But Lin En waved his hand to stop him: "Master Zhiqiu, wait!"

He looked at Xiaoqian and said, "This female ghost doesn't look like she would harm anyone. Let's take her up there and ask Taoist Master Yan to perform a ritual to help her transcend!"

Then, under Xiaoqian's guidance, Lin En found Xiaoqian's urn, as well as a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables, which were all taken by the tree demon from the merchants and travelers it had killed.

...In the underworld, demons are rampant.

Some powerful demons even dared to disrespect the underworld and Yama, gathering ghost soldiers and generals to become local lords.

The Black Mountain Old Demon is just such a demon. Relying on his own power, he not only roams the underworld, but also throws his tentacles into the world of the living. He recklessly harvests the souls of the living world and creates ghost soldiers for him to command.

It itself is a great demon in the Hedao realm. With just one step, it can shed its mortal body, transcend the calamity, and ascend to become an immortal!
Under his command he has four great demons in the Return to Void Realm and eighty-one demons in the Transformation to the Spirit Realm, collectively known as the 'Four Generals and Eighty-one Envoys'!
The life and death of these demons are all in its hands, so they are extremely loyal to it!
One day, the Black Mountain Old Demon was drinking and having fun in the palace of the underworld, but suddenly, he showed a look of astonishment: "The soul-stealing envoy I sent to the human world was killed? Who is so bold as to dare to kill my envoy?"

"Master, they don't dance well! I will throw them all into jail and replace them with a group of singers for you!" Seeing the change in the Black Mountain Demon's expression, his subordinates jumped out immediately.

The Black Mountain Old Demon waved his hands and said, "That's not the case! The soul-stealer I sent to the human world to collect souls was killed by the monks in the mortal world!"

"Who dares to kill our people?" The subordinates below were shocked.

“Yes!” The Black Mountain Old Demon grinned: “Hehehe… It seems that I haven’t made a move for too long, so those people have forgotten my existence.”

It calmly ordered: "Faceless General, you are to lead nine messengers to the human world now! Capture all the people involved in this matter. I will treat them well!"

"Yes!"

……

After several people buried Xiaoqian's ashes, Yan Chixia immediately chanted a spell to convert Xiaoqian and let her reincarnate.

Looking at the figure that bowed to them and then gradually disappeared, Yan Chixia smiled and said, "I was wondering why this tree demon was neither male nor female. It turns out that it has a female ghost with a pure yin body in its hand!"

"Oh? The female ghost just now turned out to be a pure Yin body?" Zhiqiu Yiye was also surprised: "I heard that a female ghost with a pure Yin body is the best dual cultivation cauldron for those demons! It is better than any treasure to improve cultivation!"

Yan Chixia nodded: "Yes! But it won't work for us human monks. Our physiques can't withstand the extremely yin energy! Sending this female ghost to reincarnate can also be regarded as helping her escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Xiao Qian is a pure Yin female ghost? Practicing dual cultivation with her will be of great benefit to the demons' cultivation?" Lin En couldn't help but stare at Yan Chixia with wide eyes and thought, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

He is a zombie, but also a demon! He can withstand the extreme yin energy in Xiaoqian's body!
But now that things have come to this, Xiaoqian has already been reincarnated, and there is no point in regretting. Lin En could only sigh.

As he was covered in a black robe, the three of them couldn't see Lin En's expression clearly.

Then, Yan Chixia talked about another thing.

"This time, we not only killed the tree demon, but also the ghost in white. Judging from the black banner he left behind!" Yan Chixia said here, his expression became more serious: "I suspect it has something to do with the Black Mountain Demon in the underworld!"

"The Black Mountain Old Demon?" Aqiang and Zhiqiu Yiye were a little surprised when they heard this.

The Black Mountain Old Demon is a great demon in the Hedao realm. To the younger ones like them in the Qi Refining stage, he can really crush them to death with just one finger.

"It would be fine if we killed the tree demon, but if we killed the subordinates of the Black Mountain Demon, we would probably be hunted down by the people he sent!" Yan Chixia suggested, "Anyway, everyone who saw this battle is dead. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know that we killed them!"

"Don't go to the government to claim the reward! We will divide up all the gold, silver and jewelry of the tree demon!"

The Black Mountain Old Demon was one of the most powerful demons in the world, and his deterrent power was too strong. Even the usually arrogant Ah Qiang became silent when he heard that the ghost he killed was related to the Black Mountain Old Demon.

They all agreed: "Let's do as Master Yan said!"

At this time, Lin En reminded: "Don't forget that kid Ning Caichen!"

Yan Chixia nodded slightly: "I will go to the county town later, accept him as a disciple, take him away, and make sure that no information will be leaked from him!"

"it is good!"

……

Yan Chixia yelled, "Get out of the way! I will use my Taoist magic to wipe out all traces of our battle!"

After everyone stood aside, he cast a spell again to clear away the remaining aura at the scene, and at the same time dispersed the remaining souls of the dead ghosts and tree monsters, making it impossible for others to summon their remaining souls.

After doing all this, the four of them dispersed.

……

After killing the tree monster, Lin En headed towards Qiantang. The exorcism information released by the government clearly stated that in the waters near Qiantang, there was a demon dragon in the state of incarnation, which was doing evil and swallowed many fishermen who went out to sea to fish.

The purpose of his trip this time was to kill the evil dragon and obtain more origin points.

When he had accumulated enough origin points, he would become a Silver-winged Yaksha and possess the ability to fly and hide. Even if the Black Mountain Old Demon really came to him, he would not be afraid. After all, the Black Mountain Old Demon's body was a black mountain, so it was impossible for him to be fast. However, the Silver-winged Yaksha was one of the fastest demons in the world.

He couldn't defeat the Black Mountain Demon, but he could still run away without any problem.

Along the way, Lin En killed the evil demons he encountered. Unfortunately, even if they were demons in the Qi Refining Realm, he would only gain a few Origin Points from killing them.

However, little by little, he accumulated a lot. By the time he arrived in Qiantang, he had gained another six origin points.

The realm also turned into a green bronze corpse (52/100).

The upgrade progress is more than halfway completed.

Arriving in Qiantang, Lin En went straight to the government office to inquire about the information of the evil dragon.

But at the moment he entered the city, a beautiful flute sound suddenly rang out between heaven and earth. Then, countless petals floated on the street, and the fragrance of flowers spread everywhere.

Lin En looked up and saw four women in white palace dresses carrying a sedan chair slowly approaching from the end of the long street. A woman walking beside them was carrying a flower basket, taking petals from the basket and throwing them around as she walked.

Sitting in the sedan chair was a thin man with dark circles under his eyes, wearing white silk clothes and a white hat on his head.

The man dressed like Shen Xu is none other than the exorcist Shen Xu who appeared in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons...Mr. Bu Kong Xu.

Mr. Kongxu was holding a round fan in his hand, fanning it gently, looking calm and relaxed.

His four maids introduced him to the people who were watching: "My fellow villagers, my young master is a powerful exorcist. If you are harassed by demons, you can come to my young master!"

"My young master is a man of high moral character, and he will help me exorcise demons for free!"
