Chapter 207 172: Killing the Serpent
The overwhelming Yin spirit energy immediately startled Liuu Miao'er awake.
Her pupils instinctively contracted, with a flash of bronze light passing through them.
In her vision, the sky was filled with dense Yin Qi, gathering in the air.
A child, appearing only five or six years old, wrapped in a blood-red bellyband, was eerily standing in the air.
What was once normal pupils were now enveloped in a rich, pitch-black color.
Beside him, even more ghost children with blue-white skin and blood-red eyes roamed about!
These so-called ghost children are fierce ghosts formed from babies who died unjustly in the wombs of pregnant women.
They were supposed to be born, enjoying the prime years of their lives.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they died in the womb, or the mother, subjected to great humiliation filled with grievances before death, affected the unborn child.
But after the death of both mother and child, the accumulated grievances attract Yin energy, transforming the fetus into an evil ghost child!
The Spirit Child Zheng Yi transformed into, however, was a child grown through various serendipitous circumstances. Compared to ghost children, its innate abilities and Yin Qi are infinitely more powerful!
With the addition of the ghost child's bellyband bearing the grievances of ghost children, the death pain deepened by the innate Heaven's Wrath and People's Resentment, and the ghoul ability allowing Zheng Yi to devour numerous evil ghost children.
He had, through various opportunities and coincidences, transformed into an even more powerful Soul-devouring Spirit Child!
This ghost is not tolerated by heaven and earth!
Under the boundless cover of resentment and Yin Qi, it rushed towards Liuu Miao'er on the ground like a tidal wave!
"Damn it!"
Liuu Miao'er cursed inwardly, instinctively flicked backward to evade Zheng Yi's attack.
Simultaneously, she raised her hand, and a sinister Demon Fire spewed forth, immediately falling upon Zheng Yi.
"Ssss...!"
The piercing sound of corrosion and burning immediately followed, as Zheng Yi's soul body began to burn fiercely, rapidly spreading throughout his entire being.
But despite this, Zheng Yi endured the agony of the burning flames and continued forward.
At this moment, his target was not Liuu Miao'er.
But...
Liuu Miao'er!
Originally lying on the ground, Liuu Ling'er was instantly pounced upon by the Soul-devouring Spirit Child Zheng Yi had become.
An abundance of ghost children rushed into Liuu Ling'er's body, ferociously biting.
"Ah!"
"Ahhh!"
"Wuuu..."
"Sister, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
"Help me, save me..."
"Sister Miao..."
Suddenly.
A hazy phantom of a young girl was seized by the countless ghost children.
Countless tiny mouths pounced on the young girl's phantom, biting and wailing frantically.
This phantom was precisely Liuu Ling'er's soul!
Although severely injured, she was not dead.
Yet under Zheng Yi's bites, amid the span of a few breaths, before Liuu Miao'er could come to her aid, she was completely devoured.
This was... Annihilation of both form and spirit!
Liuu Ling'er was young, and although possessing a demon core, her soul had not yet transformed into a Primordial Spirit. Thus, Zheng Yi, with the bizarre powers of the Soul-devouring Spirit Child, devoured her completely.
Liuu Ling'er, fallen!
"Ling'er!"
Liuu Miao'er roared in fury, her pupils immediately turning blood-red.
Too fast!
Zheng Yi came prepared, forced Liuu Miao'er back with a desperate attack and then targeted Liuu Ling'er with his full strength, giving them no time to react.
With all her cards revealed, Liuu Ling'er was killed directly!
She stared fiercely at Zheng Yi, surrounded at the center by thousands of ghost children, gritting her teeth and said, "No matter who you are, no matter what ghost you are."
"For killing the direct descendant of Baisu Demon King's bloodline, through the azure skies or the yellow springs, the Baisu Demon King will grind you into dust!"
Though not blood-related sisters, she and Liuu Ling'er were both daughters of the Baisu Demon King
The critical point being, Liuu Ling'er was indeed the Baisu Demon King's direct bloodline, astonishingly gifted, transforming into a baby upon birth, viewed by the Baisu Demon King as the most important offspring.
If the Baisu Demon King found out, that Ling'er was killed by a being from the Spirit Pool, one could only imagine the level of wrath.
By that time... perhaps every soul in the Spirit Pool could be entirely devoured by the Baisu Demon King!
Even the remnants of humanity in the Human Race's domain would definitely face retribution from the Baisu Demon King.
The reason for it all was this bizarre evil ghost before them.
Or perhaps... the boy who emerged from Spirit Pool B-7!
Grandmaster Realm in Martial Arts, Spirit Eating Technique at the tenth level.
Dual Cultivation in Martial Arts, devoured alive, yet giving birth to such a ghost!
Such an event had never happened, even under her father's rule or other Demon Kings' status!
It seemed similar to a Spirit Child, but why did it devour other evil souls?
Moreover, after devouring these souls, its aura surged to such daunting power?
"Gaga...!"
Amongst rich Yin Qi, surrounded by numerous blue-white ghost children's heads, Zheng Yi cackled, "Grind into dust?"
"Our bones were long consumed by you, what bones? What dust!"
"We hate!"
"Giggle, oh big sister, we hate you so much~!"
"Hate you!"
Voices of children echoed, innocent yet slightly husky, like unconscious cries during play.
Yet, covered in the veil of Yin Qi at this moment, they felt exceptionally sinister.
"Seeking death!"
With a brisk shout, Liuu Miao'er waved her hand, immediately causing searing flames to rise from the ground, rushing at Zheng Yi.
"Damn it... it's you!"
Zheng Yi roared furiously, crowded ghost children immediately defending him, stopping the flames.
Yet he, himself, charged once more to the ground, plunging into Liuu Ling'er's body.
He didn't directly attack Liuu Miao'er, but his target was something else!
In an instant.
His figure appeared once more.
The difference was that at this moment, he was holding a fiery red demon core in his hand!
Liuu Miao'er had formed a Golden Core, and her overall strength far surpassed that of a human Golden Core cultivator. No matter how powerful or how strange a newborn Soul-devouring Spirit Child might be, it would never be a match for Liuu Miao'er!
But now, he was directly attacking Liuu Miao'er's vulnerable spot, aiming precisely for the demon core within Liuu Ling'er!
Zheng Yi sneered coldly, "Snake demon? Go to hell!"
With that said, the Yin Qi surged forth, pouring into Liuu Miao'er's demon core like a tide!
Countless Spirit Children emerged from Zheng Yi's body, baring their small teeth and viciously biting into the demon core.
"I will eat you!"
"Bite you to death! Bite you to death!"
"I'm so vicious…!"
A chorus of children's voices sounded, as the once innocent children turned into sinister Spirit Children due to wrongful deaths.
Purity's inverse is utmost evil!
Previously, to save Liuu Ling'er, Liuu Miao'er had expelled her demon core, letting it enter Liuu Ling'er's body.
Unexpectedly, now it fell into Zheng Yi's hands.
"No!"
Liuu Miao'er exclaimed in shock, wanting to rush forward.
But Zheng Yi gave her no such chance.
With a single-handed grasp, a dense surge of Yin Qi poured in again.
With a "crack" sound, a clear and distinct crack appeared in the demon core that belonged to Liuu Miao'er in Zheng Yi's hand.
Inside the demon core, dozens of Spirit Children were hissing and biting around it, ravenously devouring the demon Qi, and even directly attacking Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit.
"No!"
"Pfft!"
Liuu Miao'er roared in anger, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.
The demon core.
It was the cornerstone of the Demon Race.
The origin, lifeforce, and even the primordial spirit of the Demon Race were concentrated in the demon core.
If a demon cultivator were to lose the demon core, although it wouldn't result in immediate death, their full strength would be reduced by seventy to eighty percent.
Moreover, the primordial spirit would collapse, casting them down to the mortal world!
With the collapse of Liuu Miao'er's demon core, she could no longer maintain her human form.
She transformed into a fiery red, patterned python.
The most noticeable thing was the bulge on the forehead of this fiery red giant python.
This is... a Hui!
A snake becomes a Hui in five hundred years, a Hui becomes a Jiao in five hundred years, and a Jiao becomes a dragon in a thousand years!
Liuu Miao'er's forehead was about to grow horns; she was a Hui!
She was evidently a Great Demon nearly five hundred years in cultivation!
"You've killed my kin, destroyed my demon core, I will kill you!"
Liuu Miao'er roared in fury.
The demon core that was in Zheng Yi's hand was about to collapse suddenly exploded.
From within, a petite blood-colored python emerged.
Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit!
"Die!"
Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit roared, immediately lunging at Zheng Yi, biting fiercely.
At the same time.
Waves of demon fire surged out from her, burning intensely!
Feeling the scorching flames, a trace of crimson appeared in Zheng Yi's otherwise pitch-black pupils.
"Damn it... it's you!"
He roared in anger, ignoring everything, and also summoned a massive amount of Yin Qi, pouncing fiercely at Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit, engaging in a fierce battle.
Countless Spirit Children appeared again, attacking the petite blood-colored python that emerged from the demon core.
One by one, little hands clutched the little snake, opening their mouths and tearing into it fiercely.
However, Liuu Miao'er's gaze was not one of surrender; opening her snake mouth, her sharp fangs gleamed coldly, easily biting a Spirit Child into a crumbling soul body.
Yet every time a Spirit Child's soul body collapsed, more Spirit Children would surge out from Zheng Yi, attacking this small snake.
In an instant.
Inside the palace, intertwined black Yin Qi and red flames fiercely entangled with each other.
Within you and within me, the cries of ghosts and wolves, the burning sounds of flames were endless.
With a "boom," Liuu Miao'er's form violently slammed into a stone pillar, knocking it to the ground.
Zheng Yi's figure pounced again, viciously biting at Liuu Miao'er's soul, causing her to scream in pain.
Yet such a direct attack on the soul instead roused Liuu Miao'er's ferocity, her mouth wide open as her fangs turned crimson, lunging at Zheng Yi fiercely.
The snake's mouth opened to its maximum, brutally swallowing Zheng Yi's entire soul body.
But with a wisp of smoke, Zheng Yi's soul body reappeared.
And at that moment, a blood-red snake shadow suddenly rushed forth, fiercely biting down on his neck.
"Hiss...!"
Zheng Yi looked down in regret, discovering a blood-red small snake soul shadow clinging tightly onto him.
Its tiny eyes, filled with malice.
The little snake's body was covered in wounds, its soul shadow thin, like a candle in the wind, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
But even so, she endured the agonizing pain, biting Zheng Yi again with large mouthfuls.
This was... Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit!
She had already killed those Spirit Children, directly charging at Zheng Yi's true body.
Under Liuu Miao'er's primordial spirit's attack, Zheng Yi's soul body was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the ground, Liuu Miao'er's true form saw this situation and also opened her mouth, as strands of pink mist transformed into waves of demon fire, entwining around Zheng Yi, continuously burning his soul body.
Under the non-stop attacks of these two snakes, Zheng Yi's soul body was reduced to less than a tenth in a very short time, helplessly floating in mid-air.
"Human race..."
Liuu Miao'er's voice was cold and eerie: "I shall personally strip your soul bit by bit, burning it for a hundred years with my Baisu Demon King's demon fire!"
"And everyone and everything from Spirit Pool B-7 where you were born will also be devoured entirely by the demons under my Baisu Demon King's command!"
"What you've done will provoke my Baisu Demon King's vengeance, and countless lives will perish because of you, hahahahaha..."
Liuu Miao'er roared, her primordial spirit's snake mouth opening wide, directly lunging at Zheng Yi's head to swallow it.
"Go to hell, little ghost!"
