Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 221: Chapter 219 Hybrid Taotie

“`

“This World-Shocking Seven Lights Formation has weathered tens of millions of years, through ancient changes and the passage of time, it stands to reason that even without the bombardment of others, given more time, the Immortal Crystals at the Formation Eyes would also gradually deplete.”

Su Han murmured to himself as he looked at the seven beams of light.

Scenes from his past life surfaced in his mind, and all Su Han could do was sigh.

Times had changed, and all was unfamiliar and transformed.

After the first Light Barrier had been broken and Liushui Wuhen and others had entered, it was now slowly repairing itself; if someone else wanted to get in, they would have to blast their way through once more.

This was brute force, completely against the purpose Su Han had when he originally established the formation.

In Su Han’s opinion, the treasures within the Seven Treasures Mountain weren’t necessarily off-limits to others, but it would be best if one could thoroughly understand the Dao Charm contained within the Grand Formation.

Compared to the Dao Charm they contained, the treasures of the Seven Treasures Mountain didn’t amount to much.

“What a pity.”

Su Han shook his head and approached the Light Barrier.

“Old friend, are you still well?”

He extended his finger, lightly touching the Light Barrier.

Divine Sense emerged from his fingertip, and as it made contact with the Light Barrier, the Light Barrier trembled suddenly.

It was as if it had recognized someone familiar and was extremely excited.

“Whoosh!”

A crack appeared, growing wider and wider until it became a hole large enough for one person to pass through.

If Liushui Wuhen and the others had witnessed this scene, they would have been utterly shocked, for Su Han had entered the Light Barrier seemingly without exerting the slightest effort.

The figure in white disappeared, and the Light Barrier restored itself as if nothing had ever happened.

…

Meanwhile, Liushui Wuhen and his companions, having entered the Seven Treasures Mountain, immediately began searching around.

The interior of the Seven Treasures Mountain was like it had been hollowed out, with numerous caves existing throughout.

These caves were about every hundred meters, and the majority were already empty.

“There were treasures in every cave, and all the treasures within these caves have been taken away!” Liushui Wuhen said with frustration.

“When they took these treasures, you probably weren’t even born yet, so what’s the use of feeling dissatisfied?” Ling Xiao teased.

“Hmph!”

Liushui Wuhen snorted coldly, without responding.

About ten minutes later, Liushui Wuhen’s eyes lit up.

In front of him was a cave entrance, pitch-black and unclear to the naked eye, even Divine Sense was somewhat blurry, and at the entrance, there was also a Light Barrier swirling.

The Light Barrier was filled with the power of thunder, crackling and snapping.

“There must be a treasure inside this cave!”

Liushui Wuhen felt delight in his heart, as his Treasure-Seeking Disk once again emitted a glow, pointing straight at the cave.

Furthermore, Great King Yun Ye had said that if a cave entrance has a Light Barrier, the treasures inside must still be unclaimed by anyone.

But with the Gate of Deer Chasing having been opened time and again, and these caves still not preempted by anyone, it was evident that taking out the treasures from these caves was no simple matter.

“I want to see what sort of Light Barrier could possibly stop me!” Liushui Wuhen’s face showed pride. In his view, not even the grand Light Formation could impede him; he could blast it open with a single punch, so naturally, this little cave’s Thunder Curtain should be no big deal for him.

“Roar~”

But just as Liushui Wuhen was about to forcibly break through the Thunder Curtain, a sudden roar came from ahead.

“`

It was merely a roar, but when Liushui Wuhen heard it, his complexion drastically changed, and a tremendous sense of crisis arose from deep within his heart.

“Whoosh!”

A dark shadow flashed by, hard to spot within the pitch-black cave.

Liushui Wuhen’s Divine Sense managed to capture the shadow for an instant and he immediately retreated.

But the shadow was too fast, too swift. With a muffled ‘thud’, Liushui Wuhen’s figure was sent flying, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At his chest, his purple garments were torn open, revealing tracks of claw marks spread across, and five bone-deep wounds were bleeding profusely.

“What is this thing?”

The others were all startled. The two elders who followed Liushui Wuhen hurriedly came to his aid, grabbing him and retreating out of the cave’s range.

And after they moved out of range, the shadow ceased its pursuit.

“It’s a Taotie!”

Under the illumination of the Thunder Curtain, everyone finally saw the true form of the shadow.

About five meters in length, its body a deep green color, its four claws deeply imprinted into the ground, and atop its ferocious gaping maw, a slight chill was being exhaled.

“It’s not a pure Taotie, it’s merely a mixed breed.”

Duanmu Ci shook his head and said, “I’ve read about it in ancient texts before. Dragons have nine progeny, among which there is the Taotie. But a purebred Taotie is no different from an Ancient Giant Beast. If this really were a Taotie, that one blow just now would have been enough to pierce right through Liushui Wuhen’s chest.”

“Whether it is or isn’t, the fact that it managed to injure me is enough for it to be proud of.”

Liushui Wuhen’s expression was somewhat gloomy. He was a freakish genius from Giant Island, with his main focus being the physical body.

Although he had not transformed into his Giant Spirit Body just now, even with his Peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm physique alone, he could withstand a blow from the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm without dying.

If he truly transformed into the Giant Spirit Body, even someone at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage would find it difficult to kill him, and might even be killed by him instead.

But now, he had actually been injured by this mixed breed Taotie before him.

“Get out of my way!”

Liushui Wuhen pushed aside the two elders beside him, eager to strike at the mixed breed Taotie.

“Young Master, you must not.”

One of the elders said, “This cave has long been untouched, and no one has ever obtained anything from within. There must be a reason for that, and moreover, just one strike from this Taotie was able to wound you. You must not act rashly.”

“I was careless just now, otherwise, do you think it could even touch me?”

Liushui Wuhen snorted coldly. His nature was extremely domineering, and the Cultivation Technique from Giant Island had further influenced his spirit.

“What others can’t obtain doesn’t necessarily mean Liushui Wuhen can’t as well!”

As his words fell, Liushui Wuhen suddenly charged forward, throwing a punch at the mixed breed Taotie.

“Whoosh!”

The Taotie, being a mixed breed, moved with incredible speed. It dodged Liushui Wuhen’s attack and swiftly moved in close, its sharp claws thudding into Liushui Wuhen’s back, leaving another wound.

“Damn it!”

Liushui Wuhen roared in fury, his body shook, and a glimmer of light emerged. His flesh slightly swelled, and his muscles provided an extremely strong visual impact.

“Now let’s see if you can injure me! Die!”

Liushui Wuhen bellowed, charging once more towards the mixed breed Taotie.

“Whoosh!”

The mixed breed Taotie darted around, attempting to strike from Liushui Wuhen’s back, but when it hit him, the light shook, and he remained unscathed.

As for Liushui Wuhen, the corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer. He suddenly turned, grabbed the Taotie’s claw, and slammed it forcefully toward the ground.

“Bang!”

The ground trembled, dust erupted, and the huge figure of the Taotie was slammed forcefully onto the ground.
