The sword body showed a pale golden hue, equally enormous. Though it looked ordinary on the dragon’s head, from afar it resembled a sword mountain.
Besides that, there were several corpses around the dragon corpse. Some wore armour, others robes, all undecayed like the dragon corpse!
In addition, some artefacts were scattered around these corpses.
These artefacts all emitted a faint glow, like the sword body. Even after being sealed in dust for unknown ages, their treasure light remained undimmed!
Immortal treasures!
Mo Fan’s eyes lit up instantly, and even his breathing grew heavier.
Clearly, those buried with the true dragon could only be immortals, and what lay on the ground could only be immortal treasures!
Nine immortal corpses in total. Apart from some damaged ones, only three remained intact.
Yet even these were merely physically complete, each bearing fatal wounds.
One had a large hole pierced through its chest, but even so, it looked little different from when it had just died. The complexion on its face was even better than many zombies Mo Fan had seen.
Besides that, what made Mo Fan most envious were those immortal treasures.
Over ten in total, but only five or six intact, including the armour on two of the corpses.
“Did they perish together?”
In the memory, the little red bird could not help looking at its master.
“No, these upper realm cultivators were powerful, but far from a true dragon’s match. So they were the true dragon’s spoils of war.”
The woman shook her head, then gazed at the broken sword on the true dragon’s head, saying faintly, “What truly killed this true dragon was that sword!”
“Since it was killed, why did the opponent not take everything here?” The little white tiger was somewhat puzzled.
By their logic, killing and seizing treasure was normal.
“Perhaps the opponent could not take them!”
The woman smiled, subconsciously looking up at the cavern dome, then said no more. She raised her hand and pointed at the dragon corpse before her. A flying sword shot out from the void in front of her, circled the dragon corpse several times, and finally cut a gash in its abdomen.
The woman reached out, making a “grasping” gesture across the void.
The next moment, a soft “whoosh” sounded, and an object flew out from the dragon’s abdomen, arriving before the woman.
The two spirit pets quickly looked, but saw only an ordinary palm bone.
“Master, what bone is this?”
“Could this be the immortal treasure you came for?”
Both spirit pets looked curiously at their master.
“This bone is called the Heaven-Devouring Demon Bone, a relic left by a terrifying being. After it perished, its corpse was seized by various powerful beings.
Legend has it that one section of bone was stolen by a true dragon.” The woman spoke faintly, flipping her hand to store the palm bone.
“Master means this true dragon is that one?” The little red bird’s eyes widened, then it frowned, “Why have I never heard of what you speak?”
“Little White, have you heard?”
“I have not either. It must be from the ancient era, too long ago. It is normal we have not heard.” The little white tiger shook its head.
“A being’s palm bone is an immortal treasure. How powerful was that being when alive?” The little red bird could not help sighing.
The woman smiled without speaking, instead sweeping her gaze over three immortal treasures scattered on the ground nearby.
They were a sword, a round disc, and a mirror.
“Since I have taken your item, I shall select suitable owners for these treasures you collected.”
The woman murmured softly, then formed seals with both hands, casually shooting three beams of light onto the three immortal treasures.
The next moment, the three treasures were each enveloped in a mass of light, as if becoming three light balls.
After doing this, the woman seemed to think of something. She looked at the dragon corpse on the ground, pondered, then tossed the ancient mushroom grass not far from the dragon corpse.
“Master, what are you doing?”
The two spirit pets looked at the woman in confusion.
“Helping this little one. The faint dragon aura emitted by the dragon corpse is enough to let it become a demon!” The woman chuckled lightly.
“Master, is there need for such trouble?”
“If you want this little grass to become a demon, it could be done easily!” The little red bird was somewhat puzzled.
“Indeed easy, but I came only for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Bone. I will not easily alter anything else, or it may involve unknowable karma in the future.”
“Let us go. It is time to leave!”
The woman spoke, then took her two spirit pets and left that huge cavern.
Next, as the woman said, the ancient mushroom grass gradually became a demon under the dragon aura spilling from the dragon corpse.
After becoming a demon, it grew greedy, wanting to take the immortal treasures here, but was instead injured by the restriction on one of them.
Thus, to heal, the ancient mushroom demon began true cultivation.
This cultivation lasted unknown years.
Until the ancient mushroom demon reached the Demon Soldier realm, it then comprehended a divine ability from its bloodline.
The divine ability was named: Spore Toxin.
Its effect was to create spores through its own toxin. Once these spores entered a being’s body, they could quickly parasitise, reproducing more spore toxin at extreme speed, completely occupying the being’s organs, then obeying the caster’s commands!
Afterwards, things were simple. The mushroom demon tried several times for the immortal treasures, but all failed without exception.
Let alone the three immortal treasures covered by restrictions, even the immortal armour on the other two immortal corpses, it could not approach. In the end, it could only give up.
Thus, it left that cavern, then wandered aimlessly in the vast true dragon cave.
Until it had traversed the entire true dragon cave, it then accidentally discovered a drop of true dragon blood whose dragon aura had not fully dissipated. Excited, it began devouring that true dragon blood.
Just like that, unknown years passed. The mushroom demon devoured two drops of true dragon blood in succession. Its cultivation broke through from initial Demon Soldier realm to Demon General, then to Demon King, reaching the peak before encountering a bottleneck again.
Thus, it set its sights on those true dragon bloods.
This search lasted unknown years again, finally finding a drop of true dragon blood above a great river. It began the process of devouring true dragon blood once more.
However, before it could absorb much, a chi dragon was born from the swimming fish in that great river. The chi dragon was blood-coloured throughout, reaching Demon General peak realm upon birth!
After appearing, the chi dragon sensed the vast power of the true dragon blood and began contending with the ancient mushroom demon.
Though the ancient mushroom demon was a major realm higher than the chi dragon, it was still no match. It was soon suppressed.
Just like that, the chi dragon treated the ancient mushroom demon as its mount, beginning to devour the fruits of victory.
This devouring lasted long ages.
During this time, its cultivation broke through two major realms in succession, reaching the astonishing Ancestral realm!
During this time, fearing rebellion, the chi dragon used demonic power to fully bind the mushroom demon, forcing it back to its original form. Until Mo Fan’s group appeared, that drop of true dragon blood still had not been fully devoured.
Understanding all this, Mo Fan could not help cursing the ancient mushroom demon in his heart for being truly useless.
Devouring two drops of true dragon blood yet barely breaking through to Demon King peak.
While that chi dragon, not even fully devouring one drop of true dragon blood, had already broken through to Ancestral realm.
There was simply no comparison!
The ancient mushroom demon was truly useless!
At this time, Mo Fan finally felt a vast feedback force surging into his body.
However, this feedback force surprised even Mo Fan, because most of it was the ancient mushroom demon’s toxin!
At the same time, Mo Fan obtained its divine ability.
Spore Toxin: Ancient mushroom demon bloodline divine ability…
