Emperor of the North Chapter 180

Chapter 180 - Fireplume

"What is everyone's opinion? We have prepared for this trip for a long time. Originally, I had planned to return to the sect to close up after finishing this task.

Li Mu looked at Shen Cai Qing and the others, actually he did not have much scruples about the effects of this lightning storm. After all, he had the river crossing step with him, and he also had the help of an extremely powerful spirit sense. As long as he was careful, he was somewhat confident in his ability to escape.

"I did not expect that we would encounter such a thing, one that would last for hundreds of years. I agree to continue moving forward, a rank 4 beast, we have many people who can't avoid it but still have the strength to fight. Besides, there are some things that can only be changed if delayed, I'm afraid that something might happen if it takes too long, what do you think?"

The one who spoke was Qiu Dongyu. As the founder of this trip to Heavenly Demon Valley, he expressed his wish to continue onward.

"Exactly! What's there to be afraid of? It's just a Level 4 Beast, not long ago, Li Mu almost killed one of them. Even the beast core was taken by him, the seven of us were only aiming for the Level 4 Beast Red … What are you talking about, what's there to be afraid of! "

Tuoba Han said in a rough voice. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to wave the wolf tooth club in his hand, as if he was fearless.

When Duan Jiang and the others heard that Li Mu was actually able to fight against a level four demon beast and even took their opponent's beast core, all of them couldn't help but cast gazes of admiration towards Li Mu. In the cultivation world, it wasn't as if there wasn't a single person who wasn't talented enough to go up against a level two demon beast.

"Good!" Then it's decided, the seven of us will work together to challenge this Heavenly Demon Valley, and see if it really is that dangerous! "

The temptation of the Scarlet Spirit Holy Water was irresistible to them, and it could increase the chances of breaking through to the supernatural realm by half, it was not a joke. The Snow Spirit Break Pellet in Li Mu's hands was also a pellet that could increase the chances of breaking through, but it could only increase the probability by 30%, and Xueling Sect could at most refine 10 pellets within a year. For a treasure like the Scarlet Spirit Holy Water, it was a fortuitous opportunity for anyone.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Duan, let's move on. Fellow Daoist Duan, we bid our farewells. Please take care of yourself!"

Li Mu's group of seven bid farewell to Duan Jiang and the others, and then prepared to leave.

"Alright, although I hope that you all do not take the risk, but since you all are so persistent, then I will not try to dissuade you anymore. I have a map that my Ironfist Trading Company made for us, and it records the detailed descriptions of the inner terrain of Heavenly Demon Valley and the lands occupied by some Demonic Beasts that my Ironfist Trading Company has used for so many years. I hope it will be of a.s.sistance to you all, and can be considered as repaying you all for saving your lives."

Duan Jiang Zi took out a map from his chest and purposely gave it to Li Mu. Obviously, he had seen from Li Mu's powerful strength just now that he was the strongest within this group.

"If that's the case, then we won't stand on ceremony. Many thanks!"

When Li Mu and the others saw that Duan Jiang had actually given them such a precious map, all of their faces lit up. With how the Steel Fist Trading Company understood the Heavenly Demon Valley, the map they had drawn would definitely be of great help to them.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Duan Jiang and the others, Li Mu's group of seven once again set out on their journey. However, this time was different than last time.

"Deacon Duan, who were that group of people just now? They are actually all at the late Xiantian level, and they look so young at that."

When Li Mu and the rest left, the warriors of the Elementary Realm from the Iron Fist Trading Company all rushed forward, some of the younger disciples asked in confusion.

If I'm not mistaken, they are probably disciples of the Gold Jade Sect. Others I might not know, but that young man called Li Mu has been training in the Qin Nation since the northern part of the country, and he is currently in the limelight.

The divine light in Duan Jiang's eyes flickered, and he was quite fearful of Li Mu's group.

"Li Mu? Could it be the Li Mu who was rumored to have singled out several experts from the top ten sects in a row in the Gold Jade Sect, and obtained fifty Grand Mysterious Realm spots for the Gold Jade Sect!? "

"I heard that he was highly valued in the Gold Jade Sect and that he was a disciple of. Furthermore, when he was at the Early Xiantian, he received three moves from Hades's Young Master, Li Yangtian. I heard that he even created an opponent for him!"

A young disciple of the Iron Fist Merchant Union exclaimed.

"Yeah, I heard that his talent in cultivation is extremely shocking. He broke through from the Early Xiantian to the late Xiantian in less than a month. Such talent is rare in the cultivation world."

Duan Jiang sighed softly, as he endlessly praised Li Mu's talent. This was also the reason why he gave the map to Li Mu so that he could have a good relationship with him.

After a day, Li Mu's group of seven met with some trouble on the Black Dragon Mountain, and met with a group of Level Three Fire Spitting Ants. There were not many of them, only 17 or 18 of them, but because of the Fire Spitting Ants' Inherent Skill being able to spew out demonic fire, Li Mu and the rest spent half a day to kill a portion of them and rush out of the encirclement.

Three days later, at the edge of a wide river, Li Mu's group of seven ran into a group of Shrimp Noodle Beasts. The cultivation level of this group was different, most of them were level 2, while some of them were level 3, because there were more than 100 of them, Li Mu's group of seven did not even have any thoughts of fighting on, they relied on the Dao talismans and formed a path of blood.

Although Li Mu and the rest managed to escape the encirclement, both Tuoba Han and Xiao Kuan were severely injured. If not for the fact that Li Mu unleashed his divine might and used the divine ability of the battle demon body to kill the leader of the Shrimp Mask Beasts, who knows how far he would have been hunted down.

Five days later, at the edge of the crater of a volcano, Li Mu's group of seven met a three-headed Scarlet Fire Snake which had reached the high rank of the fourth level. The result of this battle was extremely miserable.

In the end, Li Mu released his river crossing step and firmly entangled the three Scarlet Fire Snakes, allowing Tuoba Han and the rest to lose their bodies as fast as possible. If not, even if they all didn't die, half of them would have died.

Just like that, Li Mu himself also almost fell to the ground, he was swept by the three Scarlet Fire Snakes' tails, and a few of his ribs were broken, if not for his tyrannical body, in the end he had activated four Ice Talisman s consecutively, delaying the three Scarlet Fire Snakes' chase, causing him to die in the mouth of the demon beasts.

"This is too dangerous, as expected of the place where demon beasts gather. Brother Qiu, how far are we from the lake?"

This was already the tenth day since they had entered the Heavenly Demon Valley. Originally, they only needed five days to reach the Scarlet Melting Lake, but now, they had used twice the time to arrive. The reason why they had not arrived was naturally because of the frequent appearance of demon beasts that had slowed their pace.

According to our current pace, it should take us at least half a day to reach it. But the condition is that we do not encounter any High level demon beast that is deviating from its route, and we are already nearing the inner area of Heavenly Demon Valley. Qiu Dongyu looked at the map, and after determining the route, he explained.

"Half a day? The closer we are to the inner area, the greater the chances of us encountering High level demon beast. We have already experienced this along the way, if not for Brother Li pa.s.sing through, it would have been extremely difficult for us to reach this step. I never thought that this thunderstorm would have actually added such a huge hindrance to our trip, hah! "

Hu Qiang deeply sighed, the meaning behind his words was very clear, and he felt that this journey was extremely difficult.

"Sigh, Brother Hu, you praise me too much. Being able to make it this far is also the result of us working together. If it weren't for all of you taking pains, I, Li Mu, would not have been able to get here no matter what methods we use."

Li Mu laughed faintly, and said modestly.

This world is a fair place. If we want to obtain a lucky chance, we don't need to put our lives on the line, and there's no way we can catch the lucky chance. Let's not talk too much and recover our strength, and prepare for our next journey.

Looking at the path in front of them, Tuoba Han sighed with emotion. However, just as he finished speaking, the ground that everyone was standing on suddenly shook, and countless rocks from the peaks of the mountains started to roll down, as if the sky had collapsed.

"Mu Xiaozi! Hurry up! Two powerful demon beasts are rapidly approaching you. They are less than a mile away from you! "

An anxious voice suddenly came out from Li Mu's mind, his tone extremely solemn.

"Rumble …"

The great earth trembled, and many gigantic cracks appeared on the ground. Countless mountain rocks shattered and fell into the cracks, and upon seeing this, Li Mu and the rest of the seven immediately stood up and rushed into the distance.

"Bam!"

An explosive sound came from above the heads of Li Mu and the others, accompanied by a burst of fiery light that shot into the sky, as large pieces of broken rocks fell from the mountain peak. If it wasn't for the fact that Li Mu and the rest were not weak, they would have been submerged in these broken rocks.

"Look!" "What is that!?"

Li Mu and the others looked in the direction Tuoba Han was pointing and all of them involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air. A strange bird that was more than twenty meters long flew over their heads.

This demon beast looked extremely strange. It had nine heads and looked a bit like a snake, but its lower body was like a bird covered in red feathers. Its body was exuding a powerful pressure, and it was even a lot higher than a rank 4 demon beast.

"This is the main body of the Spirit Channeling Beast, it looks like the legendary Fireplume Nine Spirit Viper. This is bad, we've encountered big trouble!"

Looking at the gigantic floating beast, Hu Qiang said bitterly.

"Roar!"

It held a gigantic purple colored rod that seemed to hold up the sky, and it gave off an extraordinary primordial aura. The hearts of Li Mu and the others turned cold, as this was yet another Rank 5 Demonic Beast that had a strength comparable to Tongxuan realm expert.
