Chapter 261 Eight-Headed Holy Demon
Standing atop the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle, Chen Yang flew around the entire eastern island nation from south to north in just one hour.
He felt utterly bored. It seemed this place was truly barren. He would kill the high priest later and then take Li Yalan back!
Chen Yang was thinking this in his heart.
Suddenly, the tiger-headed eagle beneath him spun around with its wings, its tiger eyes looking towards a snow-capped mountain to the lower left.
The mountain wasn't high, but it was covered in snow all year round. More importantly, there was lava flowing beneath the snow-capped mountain, clearly indicating that it was a volcano!
Chen Yang also looked down, then couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, saying, "There's something in this volcano! Let's go!"
With a flap of its wings, the tiger-headed eagle plummeted towards the volcano.
The volcano is only a little over 1000 meters high, with snow accumulation at the peak and a recessed crater in the middle.
Standing in the crater and looking down, Chen Yang discovered a strange sight—below the crater, one side was filled with rolling lava, while the other side was a pool of water constantly gushing upwards, creating a scene of water and fire merging together!
At the same time, a powerful aura was subtly fluctuating at the bottom of the volcano, indicating that a demonic beast was slumbering!
The eagle's expression turned wary as it surveyed the base of the volcano with its massive head.
The Tiger-headed Eagle of today is not the same as the Iron Griffin of yesteryear! Back when the Iron Griffin was around, its advantages lay only in its ability to fly, its speed, and its high defense.
The Golden Armored Tiger-Headed Eagle, while still retaining the attributes of a flying demon beast, now exudes the majesty of a king of the forest with its tiger head and piercing tiger eyes that cannot tolerate other demon beasts acting arrogantly!
It is the mountain king, the king of the land!
Chen Yang patted the head of the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle. His spiritual power was connected to the tiger-headed eagle, and he could clearly feel the fighting spirit of the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle.
Chen Yang laughed heartily, then leaped into the crater.
The golden-armored tiger-headed eagle also jumped in directly after Chen Yang.
The space inside the volcano is surprisingly large! Once inside, you see steaming lava rolling on one side and icy cold water rushing on the other. The interplay of fire and water creates a unique yin-yang dynamic.
Chen Yang stroked his chin. This place was indeed somewhat magical, and it was very beneficial for the cultivation of demonic beasts.
While Chen Yang was still pondering, suddenly, a violent ball of flame shot towards him with a "boom"!
Chen Yang and Tiger Eagle immediately retreated, avoiding the flames.
Just then, a huge monster with six claws, resembling a lizard, emerged from the darkness!
This monster was the size of a village, resembling a reptilian dinosaur, and it had eight heads growing from its neck!
The eight heads were all incredibly ferocious and hideous, some resembling snakes, some bats, and some lizards, each head the size of a truck cab!
Sixteen eyes stared angrily at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang looked at the monster before him, utterly astonished, and couldn't help but mutter, "Is this the Eight-Headed Holy Demon that Gao Miao mentioned? It really does have eight heads; it's truly bizarre!"
"Moreover, this demonic beast's strength is already approaching the Foundation Establishment Realm. If it were given the opportunity to eat those blood-red fruits, it would be equivalent to swallowing more than 2000 Golden Core Realm cultivators, and its strength would likely increase even further!"
"No wonder that ugly woman Gao Miao was so confident, saying that as long as the Holy Demon arrived in the Ming Dynasty, she could destroy the Zhu family. It seems it was true! If it weren't for the intervention of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would have been really difficult to kill it!"
At this moment, the eight holy demons sensed the contempt in Chen Yang's heart. One of them, which looked like a bat, suddenly stretched out its head and flew rapidly towards Chen Yang. Then, its ugly mouth opened and with a "boom," it sprayed a mouthful of venom towards Chen Yang!
This thing is huge, incredibly fast, and each of its heads has its own unique skill, including spitting poison. Ordinary cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm are no match for it!
However, Chen Yang was certainly not an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator!
He leaped forward, his body moving with incredible speed in an instant. He unleashed the Shadowless Meteor Sword, dodging the venom in the blink of an eye, and appeared above the bat's head!
"Hiss—"
Chen Yang took out the Yin Yang Thunderfire Sword. These two swords were already at the spiritual treasure level. When the two swords were combined, their power was enormous!
With a crisp "sizzle," Chen Yang chopped the bat's head off with a single blow!
The eight holy demons immediately let out painful howls, the sound carrying far.
Chen Yang just chuckled and muttered, "Trying to call for help? Too late!"
Just as Chen Yang was about to continue his attack, he suddenly noticed that the bat heads of the eight holy demons in front of him were rapidly regrowing!
In just three short seconds, in the blink of an eye, a new head grew back!
Moreover, the newly grown head was entirely emerald green, larger and more poisonous, and emitted an even more terrifying aura!
Chen Yang finally showed a serious expression this time, and he frowned slightly as he stared at the eight holy demons in front of him.
He never expected that this thing was actually immortal. What's more, the head that grew back after he cut off his head was even more powerful!
If this continues, and I cut off all eight of its heads, wouldn't that mean that once it grows back its heads, its strength will directly surpass the Foundation Establishment Realm?
If this monster's power truly surpasses the Foundation Establishment realm, then I might not be a match for it!
The eight holy demons roared furiously, their enormous bodies pressing down on Chen Yang in an overwhelming manner!
Chen Yang made a decision in an instant: Kill!
Since it can grow so fast, I'll chop off all eight of its heads at once and see if it can keep growing! I won't give it a chance to start flapping around again!
With a wave of his hand, Chen Yang conjured five black-armored puppet soldiers on the ground!
At the same time, the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle spread its wings, revealing its sharp teeth on its majestic tiger head.
At Chen Yang's command, seven figures from his side simultaneously pounced on the monster!
Each black-armored puppet soldier deals with one head.
The golden-armored tiger-headed eagle pounced directly at the neck of the creature with the wolf's head.
As for Chen Yang, he wielded the Yin-Yang Thunderfire Sword and simultaneously slashed at the remaining two heads!
This time, Chen Yang has mobilized all his forces!
Although he was just one person, there were actually seven figures moving around him!
More importantly, Chen Yang's mental strength is incredibly powerful. Even in this chaotic battlefield, he can easily control every puppet!
"Sizzle... Crack..."
A series of crisp sword sounds rang out simultaneously, and in just a few breaths, the arrogant eight-headed holy demon before them had all eight heads severed at the same time!
After all, although this ugly monster was terrifyingly powerful, it was only a Golden Body Realm monster, while each of Chen Yang's black-armored puppet soldiers was already a Spirit Treasure level. As for the Golden Armored Tiger-Headed Eagle, its bite force was even stronger, and after evolution, it had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm strength!
In just three to five seconds, all eight heads fell to the ground, and the enormous eight-headed holy demon crashed heavily to the ground!
This time, all eight heads hit the ground at the same time, and it no longer had the ability to struggle!
Chen Yang chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there is strength in numbers.
Just then, a terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from the corpse of the eight-headed holy demon!
"Damn, this thing is about to self-destruct!"
Chen Yang's expression changed, and he immediately waved his hand. Five black-armored puppet soldiers rushed forward and formed a shield in front of the eight-headed holy demon corpses!
Chen Yang immediately jumped onto the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle and flew quickly out of the cave!
Just as the golden-armored tiger-headed eagle flew to the cave entrance, a loud "boom" suddenly rang out!
The next moment, the entire cave exploded with a deafening roar, sending boulders flying and snow tumbling down!
At the same time, the cold springs and lava on the ground also suddenly gushed out, one blue and one red shooting straight up hundreds of meters into the air!
High in the sky, lava met ice and instantly solidified into a huge rock, which fell heavily and crashed onto the snow-capped mountain!
The entire mountaintop has been broken into pieces, with countless flying rocks scattering everywhere!
Holding onto the tiger-headed eagle, Chen Yang fled quickly amidst the swirling lava and rubble, disappearing over a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye!
After reaching the safe area, Chen Yang looked back at the snow-capped mountain and saw that the mountain, which was originally more than 1000 meters high, had been reduced to only more than 300 meters in just half a minute, and had almost become flat land!
Seeing the terrifying destructive power, Chen Yang felt a pang of pain in his heart and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! My black-armored puppet soldier! What kind of monster is this? It can even self-destruct after it dies! Its temper is too explosive!"
Chen Yang felt a pang of regret, but he wasn't too worried—after all, his black-armored puppet soldier had already reached the level of a spiritual treasure. Although it was certainly severely damaged this time, it could still be repaired by the system once it was retrieved!
Once the lava flow and earthquake had completely subsided, Chen Yang leaped down from the Tiger-Headed Eagle and landed among the broken rocks and rubble.
He followed the direction of the black-armored puppet soldiers' aura and found five severely damaged black-armored puppet soldiers among a pile of rocks.
Chen Yang was heartbroken. He and Tiger Eagle struggled to move the boulder and found the remains of the five black-armored puppet soldiers that had been smashed to pieces in the ruins.
Meanwhile, below, there were the remaining corpses of eight holy demons.
The tiger-headed eagle swallowed hard, its eyes filled with longing.
Chen Yang looked at the tiger-headed eagle's appearance, speechless for a moment, and said, "If you want to eat it, then go ahead and eat it!"
The tiger-headed eagle immediately pounced forward, using its sharp claws to tear open the flesh of the eight-headed holy demon and began to gnaw at it!
Chen Yang then gathered up all the remains of the five black-armored puppet soldiers and opened the system panel.
[Ding! Do you wish to spend 100,000 spirit stones to repair the Black Armor Puppet Soldier Set?]
Chen Yang felt a pang of heartache, but still immediately chose "yes"!
The next moment, the black-armored puppet soldiers beside Chen Yang quickly turned red and hot, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely restored, as if they had just come out of the oven!
Chen Yang chuckled.
Just then, the system issued another notification:
[Ding! Ancient god's essence blood detected within the black-armored puppet soldier's body. Consume 50,000 spirit stones for complete fusion?]
