Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 400: Primeval Chaos Demon Snake

Leaping into the middle of the ancient Primeval Chaos qi, Chen Mo immediately sensed an immense pressure that was more powerful than the Black Turtle Ruins from back then. All of the Primeval Chaos aura brought a mysterious power and oppression from time immemorial. The Body of the Black Turtle resisted this ancient force with all its might. The Black Turtle was originally a Holy Beast; even Primeval Chaos power could hardly disturb it.

After the brief pressure, Chen Mo quickly acclimated.

Passing through the outermost layer of hazy air, the deeper Primeval Chaos Qi was even more like Dark Yellow.

"Hm? What's with this air?" Chen Mo's heart jumped. All of a sudden, he felt the Dark Yellow Qi in his body stir restlessly, as if it was resonating with the Primeval Chaos Qi in the abyss, producing a kind of familiar feeling.

His whole body heated up. Not only was there no pressure, there was surprisingly a very natural feeling.

Chen Mo immediately understood why he had this feeling. He had just obtained Wang Yuanji's Innate Skill Sharp Bright Mind. This Innate Skill could accelerate his comprehension even faster. Dark Yellow Qi originally came from ancient primordial chaos. Under the Sharp Bright Mind, he rapidly adapted to the Dark Yellow qi hidden in the primordial chaos.

Passing through the Primeval Chaos Qi, an enormous gorge lay below with craggy rocks. The powerful Primeval Chaos Qi was like a haze covering the space above.

Chen Mo followed the Primeval Chaos air's rushing trail and found a yellow fifth pearl.

In several breaths' time, he spotted the yellow pearl floating above a mountain range. That pearl twinkled and glowed, all of the Primeval Chaos qi flowed out from that pearl. Behind the pearl was a Star Crest formation. That Star Crest was tangled and complicated, fluctuating gorgeously as it supported the Primeval Chaos air.

As expected, this fifth Earth Origin Pearl was the Connecting Valley's most important treasure.

The entire Connecting Valley's Primeval Chaos force was practically reliant on this Earth Origin Pearl in order to be sustained.

Chen Mo only just approached when all of a sudden, there was an abrupt change. The mountains rumbled, and an enormous python awakened from the chain of mountains. This gigantic python was like a dragon, and it grew six legs and four wings.

Surprisingly, it was a strange type of primeval chaos fei yi.

Legend said that once a fei yi appeared, that was the portent of drought. Ancient people said, "When Shang Tang shows virtue, seven years of drought inevitably comes."

The fei yi awakened, and the mountains immediately split apart. The ground seemed to roast.

"Where did this bug come from to actually have dared to disturb This One's self-cultivation." The fei yi spoke in human tongue. He had self-cultivated deep in the valley for many years, absorbing the purest Primeval Chaos Qi. Its words just now carried concentrated and ancient might.

The Black Turtle stood tall behind Chen Mo, and Chen Mo calmly answered: "Your Servant wants to borrow the Earth Origin Pearl. Senior, would it be possible to be flexible." Hearing it speak human language, Chen Mo decided to put diplomacy before violence.

"You disturbed This One's cultivation yet still want This One to be flexible." The fei yi chuckled: "Use your Black Turtle as compensation."

Its four wings flapped, whoosh.

Boundless Primeval Chaos force rolled forth. The mountain range promptly sunk into the fog.

Chen Mo activated the Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi as he brandished Northern Dipper. Since he had already tried diplomacy, he would not be modest.

Northern Dipper hurtled towards open space, completely dispersing the power of the incoming Primeval Chaos. A shadow already flit over him. That giant maw of the fei yi fiercely opened to devour Chen Mo.

"Ice Breaker Snow Slicer!"

Chen Mo slashed with the Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber, swinging the saber naturally in the face of imminent peril.

Biting cold saber-light ripped space apart.

The fei yi's mouth swallowed the light without any fear.

Chen Mo withdrew, leaping upwards.

"Courting death." The fei yi flapped its wings, and a copper-colored astral wind blew over. This copper astral wind carried an ancient killing force like the weapons of an attacking army of cavalry.

But in the face of the timidity from that ancient battlefield, Chen Mo shouted. He did not fear this murderous energy. The Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber swiftly slashed in his hands.

Saber-light gushed like snowflakes and covered this copper astral wind.

"God-twisting Vortex!" The fei yi sharply bellowed.

The copper astral wind became an enormous vortex. A powerful force attempted to suck Chen Mo's Primordial Spirit in. Any other Earthly Immortal would perhaps have had their Primordial Spirit sucked and and shredded by the God-twisting Vortex. Even if Chen Mo's foundations were deep, he suddenly felt his Primordial Spirit dribble out, unresponsive to his control.

His expression changed. As expected of a Primeval Chaos ability. It was surprisingly able to grind apart a Primordial Spirit.

Chen Mo did not hesitate to activate the Bodhi Treasure Karma.

A bodhi tree sprouted out from nothingness and shielded above Chen Mo like a massive parasol. In the end, it obstructed the fei yi's Ancient Ability. Verdant bodhi leaf-light made the mountain range revive with life energy.

"That is actually a Primeval Chaos Spirit Treasure." The fei yi cackled: "But This One is not afraid."

Its four wings flapped.

The abyss' Primeval Chaos qi was gusted towards pressuring the Bodhi Canopy. Yellow qi and green light immediately entangled. The Bodhi Treasure Karma consumed spiritual power, and Chen Mo did not dare use it for too long. Steeling his mind, he retracted the Bodhi Treasure Karma, formed hand seals, and attacked with "Qiankun One Qi."

Seizing the moment that Qiankun One Qi was retraining the power of the Primeval Chaos, Chen Mo used an escape technique. The Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber sliced open obstruction after obstruction, reaching to the front of the fei yi.

Saber Draw Water Cutter!

Even the ancient space was split in two under Saber Draw Water Cutter.

The saber-light cut into the fei yi's scale armor. As the fei yi writhed in pain, Chen Mo seized his chance to use the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Escape, moving towards the Earth Origin Pearl.

"Damn you. Do not even think about it." The fei yi roared. It opened its mouth and used its Primeval Chaos Magic Treasure, "Poison Fang." A fang suddenly enlarged and pierced through space, arriving in front of Chen Mo in a flash.

This Poison Fang was refined from one of the fei yi's own teeth. Using this ancient Primeval Chaos' power, it was comparable to a Primeval Chaos Magic Treasure.

Chen Mo did not expect this Poison Fang to arrive so quickly. The Northern Dipper Saber could only forcibly slash.

"God-twisting Vortex!"

The fei yi cackled that this was according to plan.

The Primeval Chaos Qi suddenly formed an eddy above Chen Mo.

Dammit.

Chen Mo cursed under his breath.

…

"An insignificant Star Name like yours dares to contest This General. Be a bit more tactful and flee with your life now." Shen Guang raised her Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff.

The staff-shadows multiplied, linking into rain.

Commandery Princess Of Lanling Wang Yuanji was not a martial force Star General at all, and her darts were better suited for long range attacks. Knowing she would be in danger if put into close quarters, the girl thought carefully, her expression like a cold lake, as she meticulously maintained distance.

The Winding Stream Dragonfly Darts endlessly shot forth.

Shen Guang only thought to kill the Yu Sisters first, but no matter how she moved, those randomly appearing and disappearing darts forced her to withdraw.

What is going on?!

Wang Yuanji did not kill them when such an enormous opportunity was right in front of her and instead chose to stall Shen Guang. Shen Guang truly did not understand. "Revenge for Lady Xixiang!!" Infuriated shouts abruptly came from behind her. Shen Guang turned her head back to see a flock of Lü Clan disciples attacking with sword chants.

These disciples were thoroughly enraged, loathing her to the bone.

As it turned out, Lü Xixiang had moments before taken the Lü Clan disciples in preparation for a temporary retreat from the underground palace, but they suddenly met with Shen Guang's surprise attack in the passageway. Shen Guang was the Corporeal Flying Immortal whose qinggong was exceptional. The completely unawares Lü Xixiang basically did not expect another Star General to be lying in wait.

Shen Guang killed Lü Xixiang in a single blow. Originally, she even wanted to dispatch those cultivators in passing, but after she spotted the Yu Sisters, she gave up on this plan. She did not expect that these Lü Clan disciples would actually dare to exact revenge?

Ridiculous!

A cultivator dared to seek revenge against her, the Corporeal Flying Immortal.

The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff in Shen Guang's hands struck and retracted like a snake, its gale like a drill, striking down all of the incoming sword chants. Each time the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff struck a Flying Sword, it made the masters of these Flying Swords sustain injury. Shen Guang was a candidate for the Nine Elders of Sui, after all. Her martial arts could not be said to be exceptionally talented, but they were more than to handle this. Even against a Lord Of Heaven, she had the capabilities to stay alive.

Seeing the Earthly Immortals dare to seek trouble with her without fear of death, Shen Guang inwardly sneered.

Some Lü Clan disciples joined to greatly alleviate the pressure on Wang Yuanji.

Shen Guang did not want to drag time for too long, for she could sense there was some kind of phenomenon occurring in the center of the palace. The longer this dragged, the more variables there would be. The woman's forehead Star Crest flashed, and her qinggong quickened.

The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff was already erupting beside Wang Yuanji.

"What incredible staff techniques!" Yu Ji ached to go help her, but she herself was already an arrow at the end of its path. Going would only be suicide. She could only focus her attention on her big sister.

Yu Ziqi's expression was unreconciled. She was one of Her Excellency Xiang YU's grand Five Great Heavenly Generals, yet she required another's protection at the moment.

Wang Yuanji's eyebrows rose. She leaned her body to barely dodge past this staff that was as ferocious as a tiger.

That staff swept into a black stone pillar beside the girl, immediately smashing it to bits. The Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff rebounded off of that, blasting the place Wang Yuanji stood again. Fragments of the ground sprayed everywhere at once.

A few moments later, the churning stick enveloped the entire area, and the sound of splitting air echoed everywhere.

Wang Yuanji's eyes narrowed into slits. Against her tyrannical attack, Wang Yuanji was not flustered. Her finger pointed, and the darts soared high in an assault.

"Die already!!" Shen Guang lost patience. She scrunched up her face, using her staff to sweep away the darts.

With a black light protecting her, Wang Yuanji accurately predicted the trajectory of her opponent's quick sweep. She deftly turned, and although she was an expert in darts, she was also quite capable with her footwork. Wang Yuanji's boots kicked her repeatedly.

Shen Guang did not expect this. Gracefully kicked by Wang Yuanji, her expression darkened frighteningly, "Heavenly Wolf Seven Stars Kill!!" The girl then used her Earth Rank, her darts forming seven stars that instantly attacked Shen Guang.

This is bad.

The seven stars were like heavenly wolves. Even if Shen Guang wanted to defend, she was unable to anticipate this Earth Rank's ferocity.

Seven darts shot into her body. It was like being pounced upon by seven ravenous wolves in succession. Shen Guang's body took step after step backwards and toppled helplessly over from the darts.

When the Lü Clan's disciples saw this, they set every type of magic treasure, ability, and Flying Sword like raptors upon Shen Guang.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Zen Staff suddenly spun and unleashed a thousand staff-shadows, striking down all of their abilities.

Before Wang Yuanji's Earth Rank was finished, Shen Guang's weapon already instantly appeared, striking her chest like a viper.

Too late to defend, Wang Yuanji promptly used her palm to protect her heart while using Star Energy to resist this strike, yet she still suffered the powerful staff's impact. Her entire person was lifted by a powerful force. 

A drop of cherry-red blood stained her collar. Wang Yuanji barely stood back up.

But Shen Guang's staff technique was far from finished.

"Look out!!"

Yu Ji's cry came from faraway.

Kakakakakakakakaka.

The sound of spinning metal entered her ear.

The staff coiled around Wang Yuanji's body like rain, like a serpent, becoming an unceasing torrential downpour.

"Earth Rank Staff Technique: Long Snake Endless Rain!"¹

Shen Guang's killing intent was quite dense.

Suffering the Earth Rank Staff Technique, Wang YUanji was not as relaxed as Shen Guang. She vomited blood, and shaking her dazed head, the Commandery Princess Of Lanling barely opened her gorgeous eyes.

"The next one will kill you right here!"

Shen Guang coldly declared.

…

"Not bad, not bad, to surprisingly be capable of firmly resisting This One's God-twisting Vortex." 

The fei yi looked at Chen Mo and let out a complacent shout.

Under its God-twisting Vortex and Poison Fang magic treasure, any Earthly Immortal would have already been destroyed, but this man was still able to staunchly stand. This was good, only this way could he taste better devoured.

Chen Mo sensed that Wang Yuanji was in some danger. The two of them were very near, so he could clearly feel whatever the girl suffered. His heart chilled, and Chen Mo understood he could not delay any longer. But this Primeval Chaos Strange Beast fei yi was a Demon Beast unafraid of even the ancient monarch Shang Tang. To dispatch it was not so easy.

The Dark Yellow Qi in his body and the Dark Yellow Qi in the Primeval Chaos qi resonated even further.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and turned the Northern Dipper Saber into the Gamma Ursae Majoris Bow, firing randomly.

The fei yi sneered. Although it appeared very arrogant, it was inwardly a bit fearful of Chen Mo's display. An Earthly Immortal was actually capable of fighting against itself for this long. This Earthly Immortal absolutely could not be underestimated.

The fei yi exhaled Primeval Chaos qi again, and Chen Mo sliced it apart with another Ice Breaker Snow Slicer, the saber-light lacerating the fei yi's flesh. When the next slash came, the fei yi knew it was in danger. Just as the situation was dire, it immediately soared upward and dodged, pulling away from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo missed his chance to strike this fei yi dead. He could not help but feel a bit regretful, but this ancient serpent was practically using all of its skills. After suffering a Dark Rank, with its strength greatly debilitated, to kill it actually was not an impossible mission.

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo kicked off the ground and bounded up, charging once again towards the fei yi! The fei yi stared fixedly at Chen Mo, its snake pupils emitting a cold glint in the gloom. Its enormous body covered in yellow scales sway to and fro, unleashing howling gusts.

Saber-light flashed.

The fei yi undulated its body. The cut by the Alpha Ursae Majoris Saber was thin as a sheet of paper, but it seemed to have formidable force. Blood gushed endlessly from the wound, splattering onto the ground, forming pools of blood.

The fei yi opened its maw, breathing out a gas bearing the power of Primeval Chaos.

The serpent was enraged, its heart completely full of fury. It rapidly flicked its tongue, itching to slowly chew apart and devour this human that was even more demonic than itself.

"God-twisting Vortex!"

"Poison Fang!"

"Dry Evil Wind!"

The fei yi wildly used its abilities. Chen Mo resisted by using the Body of the Black Turtle and counterattacked using Bagua swordsmanship.

The fei yi suddenly twisted its body and swung its gigantic tail down at him. Chen Mo heard a whoosh. A gust blew wildly, and immediately afterwards, the light above him dimmed. A berserk force hurtled down towards him like Mount Tai.

Chen Mo immediately descended, then dodged to the left.

"Boom." The fei yi's tail swept by him, smashing heavily into the ground. The mountain was smashed apart, and even more Primeval Chaos qi spurt out.

Though its attack missed, the fei yi did not give Chen Mo any chance to catch his breath. It immediately began a second wave of attacks. The serpent opened its mouth, and several dozen thick gusts of demonic wind sprayed out towards Chen Mo, the sound frightening.

He could not wait any longer!

Chen Mo leapt over the fei yi and drew his saber.

Earth Rank.

No Snow Under Heaven!
