Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 167 A Perfect Match, Success in One Go

"Damn! This is incredibly boring. I'd rather attack the Immortal City!"

Gai Lu Kuang Xi waited and waited, but the enemy did not come. Soon he became impatient and restless.

As he spoke, he looked at Shun. Now it was two against one, and he was getting a little restless.

Shun immediately said that fighting with you would only result in a dog-eat-dog fight, and only a fool would do that.

"I'm going to take a walk around."

Having said that, Shun's figure flashed and disappeared into the mist.

He hadn't gone far. He didn't need to investigate the Blood Spider Poison Forest. Now that "Chi Yunran" was no longer in the City of Immortality, Teng Xie's true form had already quietly arrived in the Blood Spider Poison Forest. With a moment's investigation and the explanation from the Ancestral Priest, the entire Hall of Longevity was already his backyard.

Teng Xie walked through the Blood Spider Poison Forest. The scent of the special medicine on his body prevented him, like the people of the Hall of Longevity, from being attacked by any creatures such as blood spiders, blood mosquitoes, or poison vines.

Before long, he arrived at the deepest part of the poisonous forest. In his perception, there was a small mountain three hundred feet ahead, with a wide cave in the mountain. At the entrance of the cave, the number one assassin of the Longevity Palace, Tiancan Kumayi, was personally guarding it.

In Teng Xie's memory, there was no instance of him letting Gu Du Que and Yu Ren Fei Jing get involved. Chou Luo An Chen severely injured Yan Gui Ren, and even Bei Jiu Ming was unable to heal Yan Gui Ren. Bei Jiu Ming had no choice but to suggest to Yu Ren that Yan Gui Ren be sent to the Hall of Longevity, where he would still have a glimmer of hope.

Yan Guiren was thus cured by the Hall of Longevity, and his consciousness was transformed and controlled, making him the guardian of the Serpent Lord.

Here, Yan Guiren is still living a secluded life with Duan Yan Xifeng on Wuming Peak, and perhaps when he has another role, the two will have little Yan Yan and little Gui Gui.

So the one defending this place became Kuma-i, who was also quite powerful. He was a speed-type expert, and his strength was only slightly inferior to Yu-ren Fei-jing.

Teng Xie sensed that there was also a protective array here. This array could greatly slow down the user's speed, complementing Ku Ma Yi's rapid speed.

Teng Xie felt that even if Feng Lian, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Preceptor all arrived together and were trapped in this formation, it would be difficult for them to defeat Ku Ma Yi.

Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those three.

Teng Xie spoke calmly, and the flame of his sixth sense suddenly ignited between his brows.

At this moment, Feng Lian, along with Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, and Jian Xun Qian Bu Hen, led a group of people from the Immortal City to explore the Blood Spider Poison Forest, only to be blocked by Gai Lu Kuang Yi, Shun, and Wu Seng.

In an instant, Teng Xie's mental power exploded completely. This time, he did not release a mental power storm. Instead, as his control improved, he gathered almost all of his mental power into a single line, and a beam of light shot towards Ku Mayi!

In the next instant, the beam of light shot out three hundred feet, striking the man in mourning between the eyebrows.

Kuma felt a buzzing in her head and instantly lost her senses!

In the next instant, Teng Xie withdrew his spiritual power and then flashed into the slowing formation!

Before the formation could be activated, he flashed and stepped on several formation nodes, stopping the formation from operating. He then arrived in front of Kumayi and struck out with a palm. The secret technique in his palm immediately hit Kumayi's forehead, freezing Kumayi's thoughts!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Just as Teng Xie leisurely entered the cave, a faint rumbling sound came from afar. Only then did Gai Lu Kuang Xi and the others begin fighting with Feng Lian and the others.

This is a very spacious cave. The cave ceiling is covered with special blood-sucking venomous bats cultivated by the Hall of Longevity, and the ground is densely covered with all kinds of poisonous insects.

However, the scent emanating from Teng Xie made the bats and poisonous insects completely unresponsive. As soon as he took a step, the poisonous insects under his feet automatically swerved away.

It looks a bit like a horror movie —

Before long, Tengxie arrived at the deepest part of the cave, where he saw a huge worm, shaped like half an olive, more than ten feet tall and more than five feet long, with a hard keratinous shell as thick as a palm on its body—it looked a bit like the Protoss Gold Beetle from StarCraft in Tengxie's memory.

This is the most crucial secret of the Hall of Longevity, the "Hui Zun".

This ancient, strange insect possesses extremely powerful vitality, and this vitality can merge with any life form without any rejection from it.

It is also quite ferocious. According to the ancestral priest, its outer shell is impervious to swords and spears, and its energy is undamaged. Moreover, it can emit extremely strong sonic shrieks, which not only have great destructive power but can also impact the mind. Ordinary masters simply cannot do anything about it.

Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary expert.

Teng Xie approached Hui Zun, but the unique scent emanating from him prevented Hui Zun from waking up from his slumber.

Tengxie placed one palm on the shell of the Huizun and probed it with his spiritual power. He saw a huge insect egg beneath the Huizun—was the Huizun a female insect, or perhaps hermaphroditic? In any case, it had given birth to offspring.

And within this snake egg resides the earth's energy, the source of the wondrous phenomenon of the Tearful Sun.

—In this case, the snake eggs need to be refined into an array plate. I've refined similar magical artifacts before, so this shouldn't be too difficult.—

After a moment of contemplation, Teng Xie suddenly channeled his true essence into his palm. Threads of true essence, a hundred times finer than a hair, were released from his fingertips, drilling into the gaps in the shell of the Venomous Lord and infusing it into its flesh and blood.

The Venerable One reacted immediately, but Teng Xie cast a mental spell, and the Venerable One fell into the deepest slumber.

For a creature like this, whose physical strength is powerful but whose mental strength is inferior to that of an ordinary person, Teng Xie could easily handle it.

Teng Xie then took out one bottle and jar after another and injected the materials inside into the body of the Venerable Serpent.

After a long while, Teng Xie withdrew his hand. He had already refined a net inside the body of the Venomous Lord, a net that could completely control the Venomous Lord's actions.

Like a puppeteer, he manipulated the serpent to slowly move its body, revealing the serpent eggs beneath it. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy, and began his operation again.

Tengxie has only one chance. If he fails, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and he will forever miss out on the Tearful Sun Qi.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Teng Xie had accepted a challenge with no room for error, one that could only succeed and not fail.

Fortunately, Teng Xie had done his homework thoroughly, rehearsing all the steps hundreds of times. Although the actual situation was still quite different from what he had practiced, he still solved the problems one by one with the most focused attitude, the fastest thinking, and calm and decisive actions.

After a long while, the snake egg was covered with dense, mysterious runes and faintly glowed with a dark red light.

Then, the snake egg suddenly released a mysterious and complex array, which then disappeared into the ground. The surrounding earth suddenly trembled slightly, but quickly subsided.

"call."

Teng Xie sighed softly, then revealed a satisfied smile. He had succeeded in refining the snake egg into an array plate, locking in the earth vein energy within it, and connecting it to the earth vein energy of this place.

Next, as long as he continues to expand the formation and completes the Tearful Sun Formation, he will be able to move the Tearful Sun here and set up the formation.

But why would he do that? Wouldn't that be setting up an array for the Palace of Longevity?

Tengxie then manipulated the snake spirit, causing it to climb back onto the snake egg.

His figure gradually disappeared into the ground, disappearing into the depths of the earth's veins to continue his operations.

He plans to use the deep ley lines to set up a spatial array that connects with the Demon Realm. Once the Tearful Sun Array is established, he can move it directly to the Demon Realm.

As for when the grand formation will be set up and moved, Teng Xie said it's not now, we'll have to wait a bit longer.
