Chapter 78 The Origin of Bloodline
"Hiss, hiss...!"
Seeing Zhang Qian floating in the air, hundreds of cold mirage snakes in the pool hissed in unison. The hissing sound contained strange fluctuations, which made people get goose bumps when they heard it.
Swish, swish, swish...!
At this moment, hundreds of mirage snakes separated to both sides, revealing a straight passage. At the end of the passage, a hideous monster with a human head and a snake body, about ten feet tall, appeared.
This monster seemed to be a leader, holding a twisted gray-black scepter in his scaly hands. His coiled snake body twisted and he walked on the waves to the side of the pool.
"Hiss, a human cultivator? You also want to seize the Snow Soul Cold Flame of our race? Boys, this cultivator is a man, he is useless, kill him!"
Anger rose in the eyes of the leading snake, and he suddenly shouted. Hundreds of cold mirage snakes beside him made shrill cries and rushed towards Zhang Qian violently.
"Snow Soul Cold Flame? What is this?"
Seeing hundreds of mirage snakes rushing towards him, Zhang Qian was not panicked. Instead, he became curious and wondered what the Snow Soul Cold Flame that the other party was talking about was.
However, before he could think about it, hundreds of mirage snakes formed a circle. Each of these mirage snakes looked ferocious and fierce, and no one knew how these mirage snakes changed their shapes. Many of them actually had four arms. Moreover, most of them did not have a human head and a snake body like the leader monster, but still had a huge triangular snake head.
Puff puff……!
Suddenly, hundreds of mirage snakes opened their mouths and spewed out streams of pale mist. Soon, the surging magic completely enveloped Zhang Qian.
"Hey, something's wrong!"
Zhang Qian's eyes focused and he saw a clue. He discovered that the mirage air spewed out by these mirage snakes was mixed with traces of transparent snake venom. Zhang Qian felt a little dizzy after just taking a slight breath.
“It’s actually poisonous!”
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Qian circulated his qi and blood, and expelled the trace of snake venom that he had absorbed into his body. Then, with a thought, the pitch-black Sky Demon Pagoda appeared.
"Devil one, devil two, devil three!"
Brush brush!
Three celestial demons appeared.
"Didn't you just say that eating them would bring many benefits? You can do whatever you want with these mirage snakes!"
Upon hearing Zhang Qian's order, the three demons trembled, as if they were extremely excited.
"Master Demon, just watch us. We will not let you down!"
hoo hoo hoo!
The three celestial demons let out strange and weird roars. As the roars sounded, hundreds of mirage snakes below immediately fell to the ground. The brutality in their eyes surged, and the few remaining intelligences disappeared.
Click!
Suddenly, a snake monster in the group of mirage snakes turned its tongue and bit its companion next to it fiercely.
This was like a fuse, and in an instant the mirage snakes below fell into a frenzy of killing each other. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scales splashed, and the stench of blood rose to the sky.
The three celestial demons laughed wildly with triumph, and their figures flashed. Their bodies suddenly swelled up, and each of them became about five meters tall. They grabbed several mirage snakes in their hands with their big hands, and then put the mirage snakes in their hands directly into their mouths while laughing wildly.
Crunch, crunch...!
A heart-throbbing chewing sound was heard, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen mirage snakes were chewed into pieces by the three heavenly demons. Zhang Qian even saw several twisting snake tails struggling in the corners of the three heavenly demons' mouths.
"..."
Zhang Qian was somewhat speechless. He had not expected that these demons would reveal their true nature like this after getting his permission. Gulp!
When the three celestial demons swallowed the mirage snake that they had chewed into a pulp, a strange scene appeared.
The Demon Pagoda in Zhang Qian's hand suddenly shook, and a flash of blood appeared. Three thin blood threads rose from the heads of the three demons, connecting to the Demon Pagoda.
Zhang Qian only felt that with the arrival of the blood, a stream of blood-red air shining like a ruby appeared in the Demon Pagoda.
Before he could take a closer look, the blood-red airflow turned slightly and suddenly appeared in his blood along the connection between him and the Heavenly Demon Pagoda!
"this……!"
Boom!
Zhang Qian's blood and energy were spinning wildly, and he felt a slight sense of satisfaction rising from deep within his body after merging with this blood-red airflow. Then he was surprised to find that his ancient dragon loach blood had become even thicker!
Although this trace was so tiny that it was barely visible, Zhang Qian could sense it clearly.
"I see!"
A sudden enlightenment arose in Zhang Qian's mind, and he realized the wonderful use of the Heavenly Demon Pagoda.
"I wonder why the body of Demon Ancestor Luohou is so strong that a single self-explosion can turn the boundless and vast western land into a wasteland. It turns out that this Heavenly Demon Pagoda can not only grind the Heavenly Demon into Heavenly Demon Essence to replenish the essence of the blood, but also the Heavenly Demon inside can make the blood thicker after devouring the flesh and blood, and continuously nourish the body!"
The Demonic Pagoda is a profound and extensive magical power. Zhang Qian cannot fully understand all its wonders at once, and can only gradually understand it as he comprehends it.
"The legend goes that the battle between the dragon, phoenix and unicorn was secretly instigated by the Demon Ancestor Luohou. All three tribes are divine beasts with terrifying flesh bodies. The strange thing is that these three tribes have fought countless times, and after each battle, the bodies of the dead tribesmen mysteriously disappeared. Now that I think about it, it was Luohou who controlled countless demons to devour the corpses of those divine beasts and turned them into this blood-red airflow to nourish his own flesh body!"
In the past, the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn fought countless times, and countless tribesmen died. But after each battle, the bodies of the tribesmen disappeared mysteriously. The tribe leaders had also carefully investigated, but found nothing. It was not until the final battle that the Demon Ancestor Luohou showed up, and they knew the truth.
All those corpses were devoured by Luohu using the demons in the Demon Pagoda, and transformed into power to nourish his body!
"What a great Demonic Pagoda! It is worthy of being called a great magical power of the devil. The various uses of this magical power are all cruel and bloodthirsty, and they are terrifying."
Just as Zhang Qian was thinking, as the three Heavenly Demons started a killing spree, the blood-red air currents in the Heavenly Demon Pagoda became more and more, continuously merging into Zhang Qian's blood, nourishing his body and thickening his blood!
Faced with the three invisible and formless celestial demons, these low-intelligence cold snakes had almost no power to resist. They were all submerged in the celestial demon illusions and killed each other madly. Then the three celestial demons kept stretching out their huge hands and madly devoured these mirage snakes.
Zhang Qian keenly noticed that as the three celestial demons were devouring, they became stronger and stronger, and their power increased significantly.
After witnessing endless killings in the ancient world, although the scene before him was bloody and miserable, Zhang Qian was not moved at all and his mind was calm.
Three quarters of an hour later, all the hundreds of Frost and Nether Mirage Snakes present were eaten up by the three Heavenly Demons.
Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and summoned the scepter from the leader of the mirage snakes. He held it in his hand and took a look. He was immediately disappointed to find that it was not a magic weapon at all, but an old wooden staff.
However, Zhang Qian sensed a chill emanating from the wooden staff, and the entire staff was covered with strange burning patterns.
After taking a look, Zhang Qian put it in the storage bag, turned around and saw the three heavenly demons. He saw the three heavenly demons touched their mouths and changed back to their original forms. Their bodies became much more solid, and it was obvious that they had also gained considerable benefits.
