Chapter 1355: A Bountiful Harvest
"It’s here!"
"I wonder what kind of creature it is!"
Su Jingzhen and You Yue’s expressions lit up with excitement.
Huo Yang, on the other hand, looked more serious.
Perhaps because she was originally from the central region, she had an innate wariness of this place.
All members of the Demon Warrior Legion were radiating killing intent.
The aura of the Killing Intent Dragon once again surged forth.
Under the pressure of the half-step Demon King’s might, the hidden presence seemed to tremble.
In the next moment, the Demon Warrior Legion didn’t hesitate and launched their attack.
The Killing Intent Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a massive energy ball.
It slammed directly into the sky above them.
A shrill scream echoed out.
Everyone sensed that the hidden creature was a Demon General Realm eight-stage existence.
With just one energy ball exploding, the dark sky cleared.
Everyone looked up and saw a massive dark bat falling from the sky.
Half of its wing had been blown off.
Its life force was rapidly dissipating.
As it crashed into the forest, it flattened a large area of trees.
"Dark-attribute creatures like this are indeed rare outside," Su Jingzhen remarked as they quickly approached the dark bat.
The bat was now on its last breath, with only a sliver of life force remaining.
Its eyes were filled with fear.
It seemed unable to comprehend why, after making its move, it had encountered such a powerful legion.
Despair and unwillingness filled its gaze.
But what it didn’t know was that this was actually its fate.
Su Jingzhen suddenly pulled out his black brick.
With a single strike, he smashed it onto the bat’s head, delivering the final blow.
In the next moment, the dense mist within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss twisted.
The massive dark bat was reborn within it.
"Creatures of this level can’t be wasted.
My beast legion will need more of them in the future," Su Jingzhen muttered.
He then pulled out a sword and extracted the bat’s demon core.
Just like before, the demon core was pure and free of impurities.
Seeing this, You Yue and Huo Yang grew curious once again.
Su Jingzhen casually tossed the demon core to Huo Yang.
"An eighth-stage demon core is still quite rare. Take it and play with it," he said.
As he spoke, everyone’s gaze shifted deeper into the forest.
The Lost Forest was vast, and with so many demon beasts within, this bat certainly wouldn’t be the last.
If any of them had entered this forest alone, encountering a dark bat of this level would have been a hopeless situation.
But now, such a creature was easily crushed by them.
This was incredibly thrilling for all members of the Demon Warrior Legion.
Most of the Demon Warrior Legion members were originally disciples of the Purgatory Demon Sect’s Demon Battle Peak. Individually, they might have held slightly higher status than other Purgatory Demon Sect members, but it was still limited.
At the very least, any Demon General Realm expert would have been an insurmountable figure to them.
But now, such experts were easily torn apart by what seemed like ordinary disciples working together.
Even Su Jingzhen, who had previously relied on the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, wouldn’t have dared to challenge a Demon General Realm expert.
"Times have changed.
Now, within the Starry Sky Demons, I’ve truly entered the core stage.
Once matters in the Moluo Realm are settled, perhaps it’ll be time to start searching for Qingya and Yuebai."
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.
The figures of Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai appeared in his mind.
The disappearance of Qingzhou had been a significant blow to him.
Before leaving, he had planted seeds within Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai. If everything had gone smoothly, Little Jingzhen might have already been born.
Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen’s heart stirred.
His sense of urgency grew even stronger.
He was still curious about the true identity of the Yunmeng Goddess, or rather, Xuening.
But these thoughts only lingered for a moment before he forcefully pushed them aside.
After dealing with the dark bat’s corpse, Su Jingzhen and the others didn’t hesitate and continued deeper into the Lost Forest.
At the same time, two figures quietly entered the Lost Forest from the outside.
...
As Su Jingzhen and the others ventured deeper into the Lost Forest, the spiritual energy around them grew denser and carried a more primal, ancient aura.
Su Jingzhen and the others grew even more alert.
They had already encountered a Demon General Realm eight-stage dark bat. The demon beasts deeper within were likely even stronger.
They might even encounter a legendary Demon King-level demon beast at any moment.
Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness sought out Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling.
"I’m currently in a special location and may need you two to fight for me at any moment," he stated directly.
Hearing this, Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling’s eyes lit up with excitement.
"We are ready at any time!" they replied.
Before the Heavenly Ancient Demon King reincarnated, he had given them one final order.
They had been worried that Su Jingzhen might never call upon them.
After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the void in front of Su Jingzhen and the others twisted once more.
A thousand-foot-long black anaconda suddenly appeared before them.
Its massive mouth opened, ready to devour the entire Demon Warrior Legion.
The aura radiating from this creature was at the peak of the Demon General Realm nine-stage!
It was even close to reaching the half-step Demon King level.
At this level, the Demon Warrior Legion’s killing intent remained fully condensed.
So, when faced with this sudden attack, they didn’t panic.
The Killing Intent Dragon calmly flew out.
With a single swipe of its tail, it struck the anaconda’s gaping mouth.
The Demon Warrior Legion’s strength was now close to that of a genuine Demon King. With this single strike, the anaconda’s mouth exploded into a mist of blood.
In just one exchange, the creature was already on the brink of death.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate.
He activated the Netherworld Ghost Technique and instantly appeared on top of the anaconda’s head.
The black brick in his hand glowed with a dark light.
Drawing on the full power of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he smashed the brick onto the anaconda’s head, delivering the final, fatal blow.
In the next moment, the thousand-foot-long corpse crashed heavily into the forest, sending up a cloud of dust.
Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the anaconda was reborn from the mist.
Su Jingzhen was thrilled.
They had only been wandering the Lost Forest for two or three hours, and they had already captured two high-level Demon General Realm demon beasts.
Every demon beast reborn within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss looked at Su Jingzhen with reverence.
Moreover, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, now restored to 90%, perfectly preserved the original strength of these demon beasts upon their rebirth.
This meant that Su Jingzhen could immediately deploy them for battle after their rebirth.
Looking at the massive anaconda corpse, Su Jingzhen extracted its demon core.
Then, his appetite stirred.
He pulled out the Flying Snow Divine Furnace, which he hadn’t used in a long time.
"Today, let’s feast!" he declared.
