Another day passed. After crossing countless mountains and rivers, Mo Fan finally saw the towering giant mountain on the horizon.
That peak stood tall like a pillar of heaven, piercing straight through the gloomy clouds. Its summit was nowhere in sight.
“This thing is way too big, isn’t it?”
“I’m afraid even the Buzhou Mountain or the World Tree from myths are no more than this.”
Gazing at the enormous blood-coloured mountain on the horizon, Mo Fan could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
It was simply too magnificent!
“Buzhou Mountain?”
“World Tree?”
“What are those?”
Beside him, Bai Shuang’s willow brows furrowed slightly. She looked at Mo Fan curiously.
“Uh… things from legends in my hometown.” Mo Fan said casually.
“Your hometown?”
“Isn’t your hometown Black Wind Mountain? It’s in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range. How could there be a mountain this big there?”
Bai Shuang rolled her eyes, clearly not believing Mo Fan’s words.
“Don’t take everything so seriously. Otherwise, life would be too tiring!”
Mo Fan just sighed at this. How could he explain it to her?
Was he supposed to say these were things from mythological stories in books from his previous life?
Seeing that Mo Fan did not want to say more, Bai Shuang had no choice but to close her mouth with a disappointed expression. Then she took out the fate jade and pressed it to her forehead. Soon, she frowned and said, “I think we’ve been exposed. The other two teams are now heading towards the True Dragon Lair.”
“And from my calculations, at our speed, I’m afraid we can’t catch up to them.”
“That Blood Dragon Mountain looks close, but it’s actually very far. It’s probably no less than a hundred thousand miles from us!”
Hearing Bai Shuang say this, Mo Fan also frowned. Although they could now see Blood Dragon Mountain, it was indeed as she said, still too distant. It was precisely this that made it even more spectacular.
This meant that the closer they got, the more they could feel the grandeur of that blood mountain!
“Both teams are heading to the True Dragon Lair at the same time. Does this mean the Thunder Universe Purple Lightning is there?” Mo Fan thought for a moment and asked.
“There’s a high chance, and I suspect there’s something in the True Dragon Lair that they want. It’s probably more than just immortal treasures.” Bai Shuang nodded.
True Dragon Lair…
Mo Fan’s brows furrowed slightly. From the memories of the Black Dragon King and Lu Yuyao, he had some understanding of the True Dragon Lair and knew clearly what kind of place it was.
It was once the site of a great battle among immortals, the place where a true dragon fell. There might even be the corpse of an immortal still there!
Without a doubt, there must be immortal treasures inside!
At the beginning, Bai Shuang had said that Thunder Universe Purple Lightning’s target was those immortal treasures. Now she suspected it was not just immortal treasures.
Could there be something even more precious than immortal treasures?
But at the same time, Mo Fan understood even better how terrifying that place was.
Precisely because it was the True Dragon Lair, the dragon-blood creatures there would only be more numerous and stronger than in other parts of the Dragon Ruins!
Back then, the Black Dragon King had wanted to climb Blood Dragon Mountain and glimpse the True Dragon Lair.
In the end, he could not even reach halfway up the mountain. He was scared into fleeing in embarrassment and had to leave the Dragon Ruins through a nearby void exit.
“What do you think?”
Bai Shuang looked at Mo Fan and suddenly asked.
“We’ve chased this far. We can’t give up halfway, right?”
“So of course, we continue the chase. If you don’t uproot the grass, it will grow again in the spring wind!”
“No matter what, Thunder Universe Purple Lightning must die! And this is our only chance!”
Mo Fan grinned, a sharper glint appearing in his eyes.
As he said, they had now completely offended Thunder Universe Purple Lightning. If they could not kill him here, once Thunder Universe Purple Lightning returned to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would surely seek crazy revenge.
Of course, Mo Fan was more worried that he would obtain the immortal treasures in the True Dragon Lair.
If that old thing really succeeded, the Fire Phoenix Saint King’s prohibition might not have much effect on him.
He asked himself honestly, if he and Thunder Universe Purple Lightning switched roles, after learning of his potential, he absolutely would not let himself grow. The first thing upon leaving would be to destroy Black Wind Mountain and kill this toad demon!
After thinking this through, Mo Fan knew he had no retreat. He could only eliminate the opponent!
“I’m very comforted and happy that you think this way.”
“Then let’s join forces and get rid of Thunder Universe Purple Lightning!”
After receiving Mo Fan’s affirmative answer, a smile finally reappeared on Bai Shuang’s solemn face.
“Just don’t forget the promise you made.”
Mo Fan reminded her faintly, instantly ruining Bai Shuang’s good mood.
“You’ve already harvested quite a few resources along the way, haven’t you? Still coveting the bit of materials I promised?”
“That’s not how you calculate it. Some things have to be kept separate.”
“You… hmph! Rest assured, the share I promised you won’t be missing!”
Bai Shuang snorted coldly, then flew straight ahead.
Several demon cultivators from Wind Thunder Mountain saw this and hurriedly followed. Mo Fan just shook his head and smiled. With a flap of his wings, he arrived beside Bai Shuang.
Indeed, whether women or female demons, they were all so fickle.
One moment, she was all smiles like a little sister. The next, she put on a straight face, as if he owed her tens of thousands of spirit stones…
On the way forward, Mo Fan not only saw many dragon-blood creatures but also the figures of quite a few cultivators. The most numerous were demon cultivators and human cultivators.
Of course, there were also some cultivators shrouded in black robes.
Mo Fan only glanced at these black-robed cultivators before quickly shifting his gaze. For him now, the most important thing was to hurry to Blood Dragon Mountain and eliminate Thunder Universe Purple Lightning.
As for other special existences, although curious, he did not want to cause extra trouble.
However, things in the world are unpredictable. Although Mo Fan did not want complications, the other side clearly had no such intention.
A mass of black mist was unleashed by one of the black-robed cultivators. It directly transformed in mid-air into a huge skull. Accompanied by thick black mist, it opened its large mouth and bit towards Mo Fan’s group.
“Things without eyes, daring to attack even us!”
Behind, a demon cultivator snorted coldly, then said, “Miss, I’ll go kill those guys!”
At this point, Mo Fan and the demons all stopped, turning to look at the incoming skull.
Bai Shuang did not speak, clearly acquiescing to the demon cultivator’s request. The latter immediately flew out, opening his mouth to spit out a white bone greatsword, slashing fiercely at the skull!
Swish!
As the greatsword swung, demonic power surged, directly forming a huge black blade qi that instantly broke through the black smoke around the skull.
However, with a “clang” sound, the skull, as large as a house, suffered no damage at all. Instead, its speed suddenly increased, swallowing the demon cultivator in one bite!
“Ah… Miss, save me!!”
The demon cultivator cried out in terror, then exploded into a cloud of blood mist in the skull’s mouth.
This shocking scene immediately startled all the demons. Bai Shuang’s expression also instantly turned ugly.
She stepped forward, appearing at the front. Then she extended a hand towards the front. Ripples appeared in the void, and a purple light wheel emerged out of nowhere.
At the same time, the huge skull also arrived in front of the light wheel. But it was covered by endless wind-thunder spikes and instantly ground to nothing!
“Where did these demons come from? You have great nerve!”
After destroying the skull, Bai Shuang’s icy gaze immediately turned to the group of black-robed cultivators below. The wind-thunder light wheel flew to above her head, growing larger and larger!
