Jiang Wu is dead.
His death caught Mo Fan by surprise.
Originally, he thought Jiang Wu was most likely to die at the hands of Ancestor Huang Xuan, or at the very least by his own hand, but the result was something he never expected. That fellow actually died at the hands of his own ancestor.
Not to mention Mo Fan, even Ancestor Huang Xuan felt deeply astonished and had not anticipated this scene either.
However, soon they both understood everything.
Jiang Wu, as a direct disciple of the Tianxuan Holy Land, bore the name of the Thousand Illusions Prince, which resounded throughout the Divine Domain.
Now he had suddenly become a cripple, which was an enormous blow to him.
Such a huge gap was something no one could bear.
Situ Yunzhen did this simply to prevent Jiang Wu from continuing to suffer.
Rather than live as a cripple, it was better to die directly!
Yet it must be said that Situ Yunzhen’s move was truly decisive and ruthless, and completely unexpected.
But Mo Fan vaguely felt that Situ Yunzhen’s method just now seemed a bit too strange, as if he had extracted something from Jiang Wu’s body.
However, regarding this point, Mo Fan did not speak up to ask, because he understood that even if he asked, he would probably not get the true answer. It was better to inquire personally himself.
“Fellow Daoists, let us go. We will act together and join forces with the others to break open the True Dragon Lair!”
Situ Yunzhen raised his head, his expression returning to normal, without the sadness from earlier, as if the one who died was just an insignificant person, not a direct disciple of the Tianxuan Holy Land.
“Very well.”
Ancestor Huang Xuan looked deeply at Situ Yunzhen, then nodded.
Then the two simultaneously turned to Mo Fan, their meaning clear without words.
“This king has no interest in participating in your affairs.”
Mo Fan spoke indifferently, directly refusing.
These two old fellows were clearly not easy to deal with, so he naturally could not cooperate with them. Most importantly, he was not a demon ancestor, so there was even less need to do such a thankless task.
Staying on the sidelines, preserving enough strength to reap the benefits, was that not better?
He had entered this place originally to break through to the King Realm, and now not only had he achieved that goal, but he had also slain his great enemy Lei Yu Zidian. For Mo Fan, that was already enough.
As for the immortal treasure, if there was a chance to fight for it, he naturally did not want to miss it, but he was not that concerned. At the very least, he had to ensure his own safety first.
Mo Fan’s refusal did not make the two feel dissatisfied. Mo Fan was wary of them, but were they not wary of Mo Fan in return?
Although Mo Fan’s cultivation was far below theirs, here he was fully comparable to any Ancestor Realm expert!
“Very well, since the fellow Daoist is unwilling, then forget it.”
Situ Yunzhen smiled slightly, then turned and flew towards the blood-coloured crystal wall.
Ancestor Huang Xuan followed similarly, but when passing by Jiang Wu’s corpse, he casually slapped it. Jiang Wu’s body instantly exploded into a pool of blood mist, truly leaving no corpse or bones!
After the two left, Mo Fan then looked at the pool of blood on the ground.
Divine ability, Serve the Tiger!
In an instant, the golden tiger pattern on his forehead glowed, and then the world in his eyes turned black and white.
Above that pool of blood, Jiang Wu’s soul was sitting there in a daze, looking lost and dejected.
“Jiang Wu!”
Mo Fan spoke, and his voice made Jiang Wu tremble all over, instinctively looking towards Mo Fan.
“Swoosh!”
At that moment, a golden divine chain shot out from the tiger pattern on Mo Fan’s forehead, instantly piercing through Jiang Wu’s chest.
Jiang Wu’s face showed fear upon seeing this, struggling in shock and anger, but no matter how he struggled, it was useless. In the end, as the divine chain contracted, he was imprisoned into Mo Fan’s ghost servant space.
After doing all this, before Mo Fan could feel happy in his heart, he immediately sensed a huge feeling of emptiness assaulting his mind.
The time for the Chi Dragon Transformation had ended!
Mo Fan frowned slightly, allowing his massive body to slowly shrink, the dragon energy on his body beginning to contract inward, until he finally returned to his spiritual body form.
“Although my strength has become much weaker, this body is still more suitable for me!”
Mo Fan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and began to look inward.
Soon his mind sank into the demon liquid sea, where he saw a golden divine dragon about six zhang long soaring through the demon liquid sea.
More accurately, this golden divine dragon was swimming around a dim golden bead.
This bead was precisely the demon core condensed within Mo Fan’s body.
The demon core and the golden core seemed similar, but in fact there were great differences.
The golden core needed to be refined by himself, but the demon core did not. The moment he stepped into the King Realm, a demon core automatically condensed in his demon liquid sea.
However, at this time, this demon core had no power at all.
Mo Fan was very clear that this was because he had not yet crossed the Demon King Tribulation.
Strictly speaking, his cultivation had indeed reached the King Realm, but in terms of strength, he was still far from a true King Realm.
A true King Realm great demon, after being baptised by thunder tribulation, would give birth to a trace of true King Power within the demon core. It was precisely because of that trace of King Power that the demon core became extremely powerful, becoming the true source of a Demon King’s power.
However, what surprised Mo Fan was that he originally thought he could cross the tribulation soon after breaking through, but he found that in this Dragon Ruins, he simply could not cross it, or rather, he could not sense the existence of thunder tribulation.
After careful consideration, Mo Fan arrived at the answer, believing it was because this Dragon Ruins was a separate space.
At this time, his attention was entirely focused on that golden divine dragon.
This golden divine dragon was nothing else but the dragon energy accumulated in his body now!
After devouring countless dragon-blooded creatures, the dragon energy in his body had reached an astonishing nine zhang, but after using the Chi Dragon Transformation, only six zhang remained now.
Such huge consumption left Mo Fan somewhat depressed.
That meant every time he used the Chi Dragon Transformation, it would consume three zhang of dragon energy. So if he could not replenish it in time, he could only use the Chi Dragon Transformation two more times.
“I do not know when these fellows will manage to break open the True Dragon Lair. Once the True Dragon Lair is truly broken, when the immortal treasure emerges, I fear this Dragon Ruins treasure land will not be far from dissipating.
In that case, I will have no chance to collect more dragon energy…”
Mo Fan frowned tightly. After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision.
“I cannot stay here any longer!”
“I must take advantage of this time to collect more dragon energy!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath, then flew directly towards Bai Shuang.
“Can you lend me two things?”
A moment later, Mo Fan obtained what he wanted from Bai Shuang, then left Bai Yaoyao and the black-clothed demon behind, flying alone out of the cavern.
Although many cultivators were curious about Mo Fan’s actions, they did not pay too much attention.
In their view, this undoubtedly meant one less competitor.
After Mo Fan flew out of the cavern into the valley, he suddenly thought of something.
He looked at the ground and murmured to himself, “I wonder if my earth-escaping divine ability can break through the soil layers here. If it can, does that mean I could use the earth-escaping divine ability to get the so-called immortal treasure and true dragon inheritance before everyone else?”
As soon as he thought of this, Mo Fan’s heart stirred, but he also knew the possibility was extremely slim.
The earth-escaping divine ability was not some rare divine ability; even many great human cultivators knew the method of earth escape.
If it were really that simple, why would the immortal treasure still be here?
Sure enough, after Mo Fan tried for a while, it ultimately ended in failure.
Only then did he discover that there were similar rule restrictions in this Blood Dragon Mountain long ago, making earth escape impossible!
Seeing his little clever idea fail, Mo Fan was not discouraged. He immediately flew up the mountain, preparing to devour more dragon-blooded creatures to collect dragon energy.
But when Mo Fan had just flown up the cliff, he saw intense fighting erupting at the mountain peak.
One of them Mo Fan recognised; it was the white-clothed youth he had met once before, Tu Shan Yunjun!
