Baby with Daoist Monarch System

"I wonder what the limit distance is for my control over the Immortal Sword?" Xu Ran thought to himself.

Then, Xu Ran manipulated the Immortal Sword, charging out of the mountain stream at the fastest speed, towards the depths of the Great Mountain. Everywhere it passed, the lethal aura it emitted left beings in awe. Some demon beasts, unable to avoid it in time, had their heads severed instantly. So fast was the speed that the dead demon beasts’ consciousness could still see their headless bodies.

"Whizz whizz whizz----"

Finally, the Immortal Sword under Xu Ran’s control slowed down. Xu Ran furrowed his brow; this was the limit of the flying distance.

"Drink--"

With a light exhale, the Immortal Sword expended the last bit of distance, charging straight ahead.

Instantly, a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth rose from the depths of the Great Mountain. From the center of the Immortal Sword’s explosion, a lethal and annihilating aura radiated outward. All the demon beasts sensed this aura and did not dare linger, fleeing far away.

"Hmm!" Xu Ran felt the flight distance of the Immortal Sword and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, the Immortal Sword flies a full mile, and with the increase of cultivation, it can cover even greater distances, taking heads from a thousand miles away with ease!!"

Moreover, compared to the [Immortal Sword Skill] and [Annihilation Tribulation Light], it is much more flexible. Xu Ran can also conceal the aura of the Immortal Sword, achieving an effect of assassination.

"Although [Immortal Sword Skill] and [Annihilation Tribulation Light] have similar power, [Immortal Sword Skill] is too flexible and hidden, which [Annihilation Tribulation Light] cannot compare to!"

"[Annihilation Tribulation Light] is suitable for direct Spiritual Qi bombardment, while [Immortal Sword Skill] is more suited for stealth. Furthermore, the armor-piercing ability of [Immortal Sword Skill] is much stronger than [Annihilation Tribulation Light], as it focuses its attack on a single point."

Overall, [Immortal Sword Skill] and [Annihilation Tribulation Light] each have their merits, allowing Xu Ran to develop various strategies based on their effects.

...

Meanwhile.

Since the [Poisonous Snake Slaughters the Village], a white Snake Demon around the Great Wilderness Border Village similarly sensed this lethal and destructive aura. Its small snake eyes widened, all staring in the direction from which the aura came. Before Xu Binghu and his group could react, they fled in all directions, completely ignoring Xu Binghu and the others.

Xu Binghu looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, puzzledly asked, "What’s happening? Why did they all run away suddenly?"

Old Qi shrugged his shoulders, "I don’t know, maybe something happened in the depths of the Great Mountain. Just now, all those Snake Demons looked towards the depths at the same time."

After pondering for a moment without figuring it out, Xu Binghu said.

"Since that’s the case, let’s rest for today. Collect all the spoils of war and head back."

Having said that, he turned his head to take a glance towards the depths of the Great Mountain.

...

In the depths of the Great Mountain.

In the depths of the bamboo forest.

The four major Guardians—jackal, wolf, tiger, and leopard—were continuously pouring the blood and bones of hunted demon beasts into this blood-colored lake.

Suddenly, a voice that echoed throughout the heavens and earth sounded, and subsequently, a lethal and utterly destructive aura swept over. This aura terrified the weak demon beasts, causing them to flee instinctively. In no time, the entire blood-colored lake fell into chaos.

The four major Guardians were also shocked by this aura, their movements suddenly halted, not even bothering to shout at the fleeing demon beasts.

"Hiss---"

From the pitch-black cave, a long, blood-red snake’s tongue extended out, sweeping all the fleeing demon beasts into its stomach. The four guardians, still in shock, were abruptly awakened by the bloodthirsty aura that the snake tongue emitted and immediately knelt down.

"Great King!!!" The four demons spoke in unison.

The speed at which they knelt was extremely fast, a matter of an instant. There was always sweat dripping down their bowed heads, their eyes full of fear. Clearly, this was the Snake King Awakening, otherwise, how could the snake tongue appear?

The four demons, as Guardians, were responsible for all matters while the Snake King was asleep. But now, especially while the Snake King was still asleep, the surrounding demon beasts fell into chaos, and they failed to stop it immediately, leading to the Snake King Awakening, which really brought them to the brink of death.

The awakened Snake King did not speak, its long snake’s tongue continuously swept over the vicinity of the four demons. The viscous liquid dripped onto them, accompanied by a foul, bloody smell. Even so, the four demons still dared not move.

Moreover, as the snake tongue hovered for a longer time, the bloody mist over the blood-colored lake grew denser, and for a moment, the entire bamboo forest was filled with this bloody mist.

Instantly, the four demons’ pupils expanded rapidly, their faces full of shock, a thought simultaneously rising—the Snake King was about to awaken!!

Suddenly, the surrounding mist, originally blood-red, condensed instantly, transforming into droplets of blood-red rain falling down. On the bamboo forest, giant trees, and stones, everything was stained with this blood-red rain.

Everything in the bamboo forest that touched this blood-red rain was instantly corroded and assimilated, turning into a red mist repeatedly!

After becoming a blood-red mist, it again turned into blood-red rain. The falling blood-red rain merged into the soil, turning the entire bamboo forest’s soil red, and an aura unique to the Snake King rose along with it.

This was the demon aura belonging exclusively to the Snake King—foul, fierce, full of a bloody smell. At this moment, they felt as if they were deep in a sea of blood and mountains of corpses.

In a moment, all the weak demon beasts in the depths of the Great Mountain, sensing the Snake King’s demon aura, all knelt down, prostrating, not daring to move. Some demon beasts were even directly corroded by this aura, turning into pools of blood.
