Chapter 718 - 341: Demon Pill Demon Transformation (Part 3)

Strangulation is the most terrifying punishment of the Snake Race, causing all who heard of it to draw in a sharp breath and fall silent.

The midwife shook her head at these words, stepping aside to reveal the scene within the secret chamber. Even so, she couldn’t conceal the shock in her heart:

"See the rest for yourself... Have the others stay out for now and let the young lady rest quietly."

Ms Liou could not wait any longer. She turned around and gave the assembled women a warning glance, then immediately bowed and stepped over the threshold of the secret chamber.

As soon as she entered, she was met with a scene that nearly made her jaw drop—

A chubby and adorable baby girl was lying at the bedside. Not only was she not crying or fussing, but she was holding a piece of cloth in her hands, wiping the fragrant sweat from the forehead of the unconscious young lady!

"Mother! Mother!"

The baby girl called sweetly to the maiden who had endured countless hardships to ’birth’ her...

The elders outside, unable to suppress their curiosity, poked their heads in and were also confronted with this astonishing scene, prompting a huge question to arise in their hearts simultaneously—

Is she a prodigy, a reincarnation of the snake ancestor?

Or a monster, a curse upon the Snake Race?

...

On April 29th, in the year 5104 of the Divine Mountain calendar, all cultivators across the Five Continents would remember this day, for the fate of the Five Continents was irrevocably altered from this day forward.

The three Great Evil Gods, hidden in unknowable places, finally bared their fangs, with the first to emerge being the Master of Flesh and Blood, capable of crushing all.

By the time the Divine Mountains sensed Him, He was already on the shores of the South Sea, about to land. With the aid of a unique Evil Spirit, He and His followers would cross to the Central Continent, bringing endless calamities.

Yet His unexpected actions did not achieve remarkable results for standing in His way was the world’s foremost magic cultivator—the Celestial Technique Venerable.

This likely longest-living cultivator of the Five Continents demonstrated his pinnacle mastery in the way of skills; space magic, which existed only in theory, became a reality in his hands.

In the night sky, he transformed into a black sun, through which nothing, not even light, could pass.

The magic he cast at the cost of his life could not kill the Master of Flesh and Blood, but it truly halted His advance. Successive cultivators improved the defense line on the South Sea, and after several unsuccessful attempts, the Master of Flesh and Blood retreated back into the dark waters.

Yet the dark tendrils surrounding that black sun caused some to harbor doubts about the great feats of the Celestial Technique Venerable.

However, with more revelations emerging, the views of these people became increasingly credible.

That so-called True Immortal Zhengyang was not a good person at all; he had long been corrupted by demons during his centuries of solitary cultivation overseas. After all, the overseas immortal islands lack Divine Radiance Stones.

The true purpose of his grand trial was actually to gather a group of the most outstanding talents of the Five Continents, so they would collectively become subordinates of the demons, thus achieving the goal of completely wiping out the human cultivators’ lineage. This explained why so many promising young heroes perished on that island, and the so-called Teleportation Talisman was simply a joke. Fortunately, a small number of individuals managed to escape, preserving a spark of hope for the future of the Five Continents.

Another heavyweight presence in this trial was You Su, a disciple of Lotus Peak from the Profound Sky Sect.

He was actually the greatest culprit responsible for the cultivators turning into demon subordinates.

This demon hidden in the human world made everyone tremble with fear, and more secrets about You Su were revealed—

In his birth city, he killed the Evil Cultivator City Lord who was at a realm far beyond his own, which was the key event that earned him a ticket to the Profound Sky Sect;

Reports of him were claimed to be seen in numerous incidents involving the appearance of evil spirits;

And among the cultivation techniques he practiced was the True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell...

The speculation that he and True Immortal Zhengyang were accomplices became the mainstream view, and people were searching for this unforgivable person’s corpse, but scoured the South Sea in vain.

The storm in the South Sea seemed to have subsided, but it had not truly vanished; it had merely moved elsewhere.

And the first place it appeared was Lotus Peak of the Profound Sky Sect...
