From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

The parched, cracked earth stretched as far as the eye could see, lifeless and scorching. Everything looked familiar, devoid of any vitality.

A vast cloud of poison rolled past, spreading rapidly forward and soon disappearing on the horizon.

"We've arrived. It seems this place isn't completely lost yet!"

Li Yisen gazed ahead with his white eyes and said calmly.

Not far ahead, a faint purple mist enveloped everything, like an overturned bowl, strangely covering a large area of ​​land.

Li Yi sensed a faint moisture, indicating that such a drastic change might not have occurred inside yet.

The palace slowly slowed down and came to a stop at the edge of the purple mist, hovering motionless.

With a thought, Li Yi sent a green wind that stirred up the yellow mist and surged toward the purple mist, causing the two to collide in mid-air.

A moment later, the yellow mist was pushed aside, and a small portion of it was even swallowed up by the persistent purple mist, which surprised Li Yi.

This purple mist seemed extremely heavy, impervious to all things, and carried a potent poison.

Wasn't the venomous dragon dead? Why would it leave behind such a place?

Li Yi was puzzled and immediately prepared to go and investigate alone.

Only he himself had the confidence to face the methods left behind by the Poisonous Dragon. Although he had never personally experienced the power of the Pure and Turbid Immortal Foundation, he was full of confidence.

Gazing at the purple mist so close at hand, Li Yi paused briefly, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

The last time it came to this area was not long after it arrived in this world, when it happened to witness the shocking scene of the dragon's tribulation.

After returning, it created a special posture that swallowed and exhaled moonlight based on the posture of the dragon, and thus embarked on this path.

After a moment's thought, the purple mist in front of Li Yi split open, and he stepped into the mist, his figure disappearing from sight.

A wisp of purple mist appeared beside his hand, swirling around Li Yi's fingers.

Li Yi carefully sensed the poisonous mist and found that it was indeed quite terrifying. It could probably easily harm Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, especially those demonic beasts that were not good at poison.

Furthermore, this purple mist seems to be much more friendly to those who possess a trace of dragon blood; Li Yi could even come into direct contact with the purple mist without any problems.

After a period of confusion, everything suddenly became clear.

A huge pit appeared in front of Li Yi, and it was pitch black inside.

Li Yisen's white eyes swept over it, and he saw what was inside.

This is the cave of the venomous dragon, which should have been completely shrouded in purple mist, but now it is empty.

It was probably burned to the ground to fight off the phosphorescence; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to see anything here.

The land here still has moisture. Although it is no longer considered swampy silt, it still has a vibrant black color, not the scorched black of a plant heated by phosphorescence.

A faint smell of blood appeared.

Li Yi's spirits lifted as he smelled the dragon's blood and saw it.

The bloodstains seemed to have fallen from the sky and splattered into the pit. Even after so many years, they were still very fresh, bright red, and flowing.

Many rare and precious herbs grow around the blood, and the flowers and plants flourish.

This place is shady and cool, like a paradise, untouched by the phosphorescent fire.

It seems that after the venomous dragon failed its tribulation, its entire body turned to ashes, with only some bloodstains remaining... and there seems to be something else as well.

Li Yi squinted and looked into the depths of the cave. He could see something emitting a faint purple light, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

So he leaped down into the depths of the cave, and the next moment, a magnificent five-colored light flashed, illuminating the darkness.

A huge fireball suddenly appeared and came head-on, its intense heat engulfing Li Yi.

Li Yi hovered in mid-air, spitting out a large patch of pale white phosphorescent fire.

The two flames collided in mid-air, their red and white colors merging and eroding each other, before suddenly collapsing and exploding.

Despite being engulfed in flames, Li Yi remained expressionless; the flames had no effect on him whatsoever.

Instead, he took this opportunity to see the situation inside the cave.

There is some kind of formation on the outer wall of this huge pit, with five array eyes that are faintly visible, arranged in five directions, each at different heights.

This is definitely a human tactic.

The next moment, a stream of water suddenly covered the surroundings, turning the area into a vast swamp, and surging waves rushed towards Li Yi.

Faced with this power, Li Yi remained motionless, his body erupting with a round of pale white phosphorescent flames.

When water and fire met, explosions erupted continuously. The ring of fire expanded rapidly, actually pushing the water to spread. A pungent mist accompanied the continuous explosions.

This swamp fire was incredibly useful, far surpassing ordinary flames. It was extremely violent, burning everything in its path, which greatly satisfied Li Yi.

Just as the vast swamp was about to be completely evaporated, a green light suddenly appeared in the water, and many vines sprouted from it, baring their fangs and claws to surround it.

But this was also useless; the plants were swept away by the phosphorescent fire and burned fiercely, turning into charcoal, which was then ignited even faster.

The changes continued, with the plants burning with eerie white flames quickly turning to ashes, followed by bursts of bright orange flames.

The entire area suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the two flames merged together, actually stopping the spread of the phosphorescent fire.

Where the flames burned, many dust particles first appeared, and then these dust particles quickly gathered together to form a layer of loose soil, covering all the flames.

The raging phosphorescent fire was quickly reduced to just a few burning flames, the rest being covered and suppressed by loose soil.

"The five elements coexist?"

Li Yi watched this scene with great interest, unhurried and unhurried.

The next moment, just as he had expected, golden light suddenly burst forth from the loose soil, and hundreds of extremely sharp metal spikes appeared, shooting towards Li Yi from all directions.

"That's interesting."

Li Yi was surprised. If he didn't use his true skills, he would probably be blocked by this formation.

He shuddered, and moonlight overflowed from his body, followed by the four phases of the swamp, each emitting a different light, which gathered together.

These five colors briefly stood alone before quickly merging into one, transforming into a pair of enormous, clear and turbid millstones.

With a single turn of the millstone, everything here was instantly swept away—metal spikes, loose soil, water—all were crushed into dust.

Seeing that the formation was endless, Li Yi flashed and arrived in front of one of the formations, directly pulling out the treasures inside.

It was a piece of angular, silvery metallic ore, a rare and precious material for those in the Foundation Establishment stage.

With one of the five elements missing, the process of mutual generation was immediately blocked, and the entire formation became sluggish. Li Yi found an opening and quickly took control of all the key points of the formation.
