Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Ancient Giant! Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Ancient Giant! Jiang Fan gasped in astonishment.
Just as he was about to walk towards the cave entrance, the horsetail whisk swooped downwards.
It almost struck him precisely.
This was an attack from a Nascent Soul Expert. If he were hit, he would be severely injured if not dead.
As for showing himself.
That was obviously impossible.
The Green Crane Masters were polite to Concubine Yunxia because of her connection to the Demon Emperor.
But who was Jiang Fan to them?
If they fancied something he had, they would probably kill him and take it without a second thought.
They wouldn’t even waste a single word.
Moreover, the corpse of the Six-Path Masters and the intense death aura here masked Jiang Fan’s Demon Race blood aura.
Even Concubine Yunxia couldn’t detect him.
Furthermore, there was the magma and the small ruined temple constantly emitting eerie Yin Qi.
His blood aura was negligible in comparison.
As long as he wasn’t extremely unlucky and ran into them, he shouldn’t be found.
“This is the last time I’ll say it, come out!”
The Green Crane Masters commanded sternly.
Stealing the Bodhi Tree was one thing.
But taking the Six-Path Masters’ Space Storage Ring as well?
There’s no way they would let him go.
Seeing no response, the Green Crane Masters snorted coldly and said: “Since you won’t drink a toast, you must drink the penalty wine!”
A vast Nascent Soul aura exploded from his body.
The oppressive pressure was felt by his two disciples, Concubine Yunxia, and the Demon King Chunni.
They felt as though Mount Tai was pressing down on them, making it extraordinarily difficult to breathe.
Jiang Fan, caught off guard, was also pressed to the ground.
His heart was filled with fear.
So this was the true power of the Nascent Soul Realm?
Even just the aura alone could suppress someone in the Core Formation Realm so miserably.
If he really attacked, it would be a matter of moments to take someone’s life.
The bound Six-Path Masters pointed to Jiang Fan’s chest.
Jiang Fan got the hint.
He activated the Mute Zen.
He looked at the Six-Path Masters, thinking: “What do you want?”
His thoughts directly appeared in the soul of the Six-Path Masters.
The Six-Path Masters used this connection to communicate with Jiang Fan.
“Release me, and I’ll control my corpse to kill that nosy old daoist.”
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes: “Can I trust your words?”
If the Six-Path Masters regained control of the puppet, who knew who he would kill first?
After all, the Green Crane Masters might not pose a fatal threat to him.
But Jiang Fan, who held the Soul-Suppressing Buddha Beads, certainly could.
“Hurry, we can’t let that idiot continue releasing his aura.”
“Otherwise, if that existence is disturbed, everyone will be finished.”
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.
He just realized that he had overlooked something extremely dangerous.
What was it that severely injured the Tiger Demon Emperor, causing him to die shortly after returning?
To this day, that thing had not appeared.
Jiang Fan’s mind raced.
He needed to think of a way to muddy the waters here and slip away in the chaos.
Otherwise, if that thing was truly disturbed…
A massive bubble suddenly emerged from the quiet magma, causing it to churn.
Another bubble appeared, then two, then three…
Within the blink of an eye.
The magma pool boiled violently like boiling water.
Countless bubbles began to rise.
A faint aura of savagery wafted up from beneath the magma pool.
The Green Crane Masters, who were forcing Jiang Fan out, suddenly changed his expression.
He quickly retracted his Nascent Soul aura.
He stared intently at the magma pool.
The increasingly intense aura of savagery made his Nascent Soul tremble, as if it wanted to escape from his body.
The Green Crane Masters looked grave.
In the fifty years since he formed his Nascent Soul.
He had never encountered a situation where his Nascent Soul felt fear.
Not even during past several life-and-death situations.
Concubine Yunxia, the Demon King Chunni, and the two disciples felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
“Senior, please open the exit!”
“We Demons don’t want anything from this place anymore.”
Concubine Yunxia’s heart pounded violently.
Even when facing the Heavenly Tribulation, she had never felt such panic.
The Green Crane Masters felt extreme reluctance.
But years of intuition told him he couldn’t hesitate any longer.
There was undoubtedly something extremely fierce about to emerge from the magma pool.
He decisively retracted his horsetail whisk, grabbed the corpse of the Six-Path Masters, and flew rapidly to the exit.
Concubine Yunxia and the others also felt a chill down their spines.
Even the few moments of delay.
The magma pool had already become violently turbulent.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——
The group quickly flew into the passage.
Jiang Fan hurriedly followed.
A deafening roar shook the heavens.
The magma shot up tens of feet high, splashing towards the nearby exit.
Jiang Fan quickly retreated.
The ground shook violently.
A five-zhang-long green-gray arm stretched out from the magma pool!!!
One finger was longer than Jiang Fan!
Soon after, another arm stretched out.
The two arms hooked onto the edge of the pool.
A sound of something emerging came from below the magma pool.
A head larger than a thatched cottage.
With long black hair.
A mouth full of sharp teeth, and a nose with an extremely keen sense of smell.
In the center of its face!
Jiang Fan’s heart pounded wildly.
One eye, giant human-like body.
He could only think of one thing.
The giant that wreaked havoc in ancient times!!!
They… still had ones alive!
Jiang Fan clung to the wall, not daring to move a muscle, holding his breath forcibly.
He did not dare to make a sound.
Even the Six-Path Masters were horrified: “Ancient Giant!”
“There’s an ancient monstrously fierce creature hidden under this magma!”
“No wonder the Tiger Demon Emperor barely survived.”
Jiang Fan didn’t even dare to respond.
He feared his Divine Sense might be detected by such a fierce creature.
The chaotic aura here and Jiang Fan’s Turtle Breath Cloak kept him hidden.
The newly awakened Ancient Giant hadn’t noticed him.
Its massive eye swept around and found the passage where everyone had fled.
With an angry beat on its chest, it slowly retreated into the magma.
But it didn’t immediately sink.
Instead, it moved to a large black stone in the center of the magma pool.
It extended a long tongue that pierced the black stone.
The stone trembled, emitting flickering light.
In the light, the projection of a massive fetal creature writhed in agony inside the egg!
The giant’s tongue pierced into the fetal creature, sucking a mouthful of its essence blood.
A visible stream of essence blood was sucked from the fetal creature’s body.
The Ancient Giant groaned in satisfaction.
Then it slowly sank into the magma.
Jiang Fan and the Six-Path Masters were both stunned.
“Kid, tell me, I didn’t see things wrong.”
“That black stone in the magma pool…was actually an egg? And there was a living fetus inside?”
Jiang Fan was also dumbstruck.
“Hundreds of zhang large, what kind of egg is that?”
“Even the Demon Emperor’s true form isn’t that large, they couldn’t lay such a big egg, right?”
“Only a Sage of the Demon Race could potentially lay such a large egg…”
Jiang Fan’s pupils dilated in shock.
Could it be that the egg was the offspring of a Sage of the Demon Race?
Wouldn’t that mean the egg contained extremely pure True Spirit Blood?
“Kid, what are you thinking?”
“Don’t get any ideas, that Ancient Giant has survived for millennia by feeding on the essence of the fetus inside that egg.”
“If you take the egg, won’t it chase you to death?”
The Six-Path Masters, guessing Jiang Fan’s thoughts, quickly warned him.
