chuán shuō ， dāng xiū xiān zhě dù tǎo tiān jié ， jiù kě yǐ fēi shēng dào líng jiè 。
传说，当修仙者度讨天劫，就可以飞升到灵界。
Legend had it that when cultivators passed the heavenly tribulation, they could ascend to the Spirit Realm.
rán ér rén jiè de xiū shì bìng bù xiǎo de ， zhè lìng rén xiàng wǎng de shàng wèi jiè miàn fēi wán zhěng de 。 líng jiè ， shì yóu shù bǎi gè zhī lí pò suì de xiǎo jiè miàn ， pái liè zǔ hé ér chéng de 。
然而人界的修士并不晓得，这令人向往的上位界面非完整的。灵界，是由数百个支离破碎的小界面，排列组合而成的。
However, mortal realm cultivators did not know that this desirable higher-level plane was incomplete. The Spirit Realm was composed of hundreds of fragmented small planes, arranged and combined together.
měi gè jiè miàn ， qí shí qíng kuàng dōu bìng bù xiāng tóng ， qí líng mài yōu yì ， yǔ zī yuán fēng fù de chéng dù ， suī rán shèng guò rén jiè xǔ duō ， dàn bǐ cǐ zhī jiān de chā yì ， gèng shì lìng rén dèng mù jié shé ， kě yǐ zhè yàng shuō ， yǐ jīng dào le lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ de tuō bù 。
每个界面，其实情况都并不相同，其灵脉优异，与资源丰富的程度，虽然胜过人界许多，但彼此之间的差异，更是令人瞪目结舌，可以这样说，已经到了令人叹为观止的拖步。
Each plane actually differed greatly in its own right. While their spirit veins were superior and resource-rich compared to the mortal world, the differences between them were astonishing, reaching a level that left one speechless with admiration.
dōng hǎi zài zǔ chéng líng jiè de xiǎo jiè miàn zhōng ， pái míng dào shǔ ， ér diān lóng jiè ， suī rán yě zhǐ shì xiǎo jiè miàn zhī yī ， dàn yǔ dōng hǎi xiāng bǐ ， zé wán quán de bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
东海在组成灵界的小界面中，排名倒数，而颠龙界，虽然也只是小界面之一，但与东海相比，则完全的不可同日而语。
East Sea ranked at the bottom among the small planes forming the Spirit Realm. Despite being just one of these small planes, Pidragon Realm was incomparably different from East Sea in terms of area, cultivator strength, and resources. The quality of spirit veins was simply not on the same level.
bù lùn miàn jī ， hái shì xiū shì de shí lì ， huò zhě zī yuán 。 líng mài de yōu yì ， dōu gēn běn bú shì yí gè shù liàng jí 。
不论面积，还是修士的实力，或者资源。灵脉的优异，都根本不是一个数量级。
Even within all the planes of the Spirit Realm, while it couldn't be considered the absolute top, ranking among the top ten would definitely not be a problem.
jiù suàn zài líng jiè de suǒ yǒu jiè miàn zhī zhōng ， suī bù néng suàn zuì dǐng jí ， dàn pái míng jiān shí 。 yě jué duì méi yǒu wèn tí 。
就算在灵界的所有界面之中，虽不能算最顶级，但排名煎十。也绝对没有问题。
The naming after Pidragon had its origins. It was closely related to the legendary Monkey Dragon Immortal.
yǐ bāng lóng mìng míng ， nà shì dà yǒu lái lì 。
以帮龙命名，那是大有来历。
It is well-known that the greatest existences in the Spirit Realm are the Three Loose Immortals and the Three Demon Kings.
yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de hóu lóng zhēn rén nǎi shì mì qiè xiāng guān dì 。
与传说中的猴龙真人乃是密切相关地。
However, when it came to fame, Pidragon Immortal was no less than them. Legend said this was an old monster who had lived for millions of years. His cultivation period during tribulation was not discussed, but he was known as the Spirit Realm's most famous playboy, his reputation reverberating throughout the world.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， líng jiè suǒ yǒu dà néng cún zài ， dāng yǐ sān dà sàn xiān yǔ sān yāo wáng jū shǒu 。
众所周知，灵界所有大能存在，当以三大散仙与三妖王居首。
As one of the top existences in the Spirit Realm, Pidragon Immortal lacked any signs of a master’s demeanor. His greatest characteristic wasn't profound cultivation, but rather his lust for women.
rán ér ruò lùn míng qì ， hàn lóng zhēn rén shì sī háo bù xià yú tā men tuō 。
然而若论名气，翰龙真人是丝毫不下于他们拖。
A graceful woman is a match for a gentleman, and this was not unusual. However, Pidragon Immortal went overboard with it, which was due to his nature. Many tales of his amorous exploits circulated in the Forbidden Dragon Realm.
chuán shuō ， zhè yě shì yī wèi huó le jǐ bǎi wàn nián de lǎo guài wù ， qí dù jié qī de xiū wèi zàn qiě bù tí ， líng jiè dì yī huā huā gōng zi de měi míng kě shì wēi zhèn huán yǔ 。
传说，这也是一位活了几百万年的老怪物，其渡劫期的修为暂且不提，灵界第一花花公子的美名可是威震寰宇。
But these were just rumors. Although the realm was named after Pidragon, this guy was like a dragon that only showed its head but not its tail. At such a level, while he wasn't yet immortal, his lifespan was long enough to be envied by others.
zuò wèi líng jiè zuì dǐng jiān de cún zài zhī yī ， hàn lóng zhēn rén què sī háo méi yǒu yì diǎn gāo shǒu de jué wù ， qí zuì dà de tè diǎn bú shì xiū wèi shēn bù kě cè ， ér shì hào sè 。
做为灵界最顶尖的存在之一，翰龙真人却丝毫没有一点高手的觉悟，其最大的特点不是修为深不可测，而是好色。
Pidragon Immortal was also a master of worldly games. As an advanced-stage cultivator who had mastered the heavenly tribulation laws, if he wished, he could tear through space and freely roam between the three realms. Although he would still face some restrictions in the mortal world, his freedom within the Spirit Realm's various planes was absolute. Thus, he might not necessarily stay in Pidragon Realm.
yǎo tiǎo shū nǚ ， jūn hū hǎo qiú ， běn bù qí guài ， rán ér hàn lóng zhēn rén què tài guò le nà me yì diǎn ， zhè yě shì běn xìng shǐ rán ， ér zài jìn lóng jiè 。 yǒu bù shǎo guān yú tā de fēng liú yùn shì liú chuán 。
窈窕淑女，君乎好逑，本不奇怪，然而翰龙真人却太过了那么一点，这也是本性使然，而在禁龙界。有不少关于他的风流韵事流传。
Moreover, even if they left this plane, unless it was to visit close friends, this guy would definitely use an invisibility talisman. "A true cultivator does not reveal himself."
dàn yě zhǐ shì liú chuán ér yǐ ， cǐ jiè suī shì yǐ yí lóng mìng míng ， dàn zhè jiā huo ， què shì shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi de ” shí lì dào le tā nà yàng de děng jí ， suī rán hái méi cái dào cháng shēng bù lǎo de dì bù ， dàn shòu yuán zhī mán zhǎng ， yě ràng rén xiàn mù 。
但也只是流传而已，此界虽是以彝龙命名，但这家伙，却是神龙见首不见尾的”实力到了他那样的等级，虽然还没才到长生不老的地步，但寿元之谩长，也让人羡慕。
The area of the Spirit Realm and its various planes differed greatly, beyond just resources and spirit energy concentration. Each plane had unique conditions.
bí lóng zhēn rén yòu shì yóu xì fēng chén de zhǔ ér ， zuò wèi dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， duì yú tiān tuō fǎ zé ， yǐ yǒu jí wéi jīng shēn de zhǎng wò 。 zhǐ shuǎ tā yuàn yì 。 pò suì xū kōng 。 zài sān jiè jiān yě kě yǐ rèn yì áo yóu ， suī rán dào rén jiè hái huì shòu dào yī xiē chè zhǒu 。 dàn zài líng jiè gè jiè miàn ， què yǐ shì lái qù zì mǎo yóu ， suǒ yǐ tā dào yě bù yí dìng jiù zhì liú zài hàn lóng jiè de 。
鼻龙真人又是游戏风尘的主儿，做为渡劫后期的修仙者，对于天拖法则，已有极为精深的掌握。只耍他愿意。破碎虚空。在三界间也可以任意遨游，虽然到人界还会受到一些掣肘。但在灵界各界面，却已是来去自冇由，所以他倒也不一定就滞留在翰龙界的。
In Pidragon Realm, in a desolate mountain.
hé kuàng jiù suàn zài zhè yī jiè wài chū 。 chú fēi shì qù bài fǎng zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu ， fǒu zé ， zhè jiā huo ， kěn dìng huì shī zhǎn bǎn xíng shù ， zhēn rén bù lòu xiàng jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ le 。
何况就算在这一界外出。除非是去拜访至交好友，否则，这家伙，肯定会施展板形术，真人不露相就是这个道理了。
Boom!
líng jiè miàn jī guǎng kuò ， gè jiè miàn zhī jiān ” chú le zī yuán yǔ líng qì nóng dù ， qí tā de chā yì yě shì jí dà de 。
灵界面积广阔，各界面之间”除了资源与灵气浓度，其他的差异也是极大的。
The sound of explosion entered their ears as several figures moved swiftly. Just as they left the original location, a light ball exploded with a deafening boom, sending shockwaves outward.
měi yī jiè miàn de qíng kuàng dōu gè bù xiāng tóng 。
每一界面的情况都各不相同。
A large pit appeared before their eyes.
bāng lóng jiè 。 mǒu zuò huāng shān zhī zhōng 。
帮龙界。某座荒山之中。
"Phew, close one..."
hōng ！
轰！
The leader spat out some mucus. The fierce Claw Dragon was even more difficult to deal with than legend suggested.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shí jǐ dào rén yǐng téng nuó zhuǎn zhé ， tā men gāng gāng lí kāi yuán tuō ， yí gè guāng qiú jiù yǐ hōng rán zhà kāi ， kě pà de qì làng xiàng zhe sì zhōu kuò sàn 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，十几道人影腾挪转折，他们刚刚离开原拖，一个光球就已轰然炸开，可怕的气浪向着四周扩散。
Although they were outnumbered, they had already been completely on the defensive and regretted getting involved with such a formidable opponent. However, it was too late now. The Claw Dragon not only had an extremely short temper but also a grudge, so this beast would not let them go even if they gave up pursuing them.
yí gè dà kēng yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
一个大坑映入了眼帘。
Just as thoughts raced through his mind, he heard a scream: "Uncle, save me..."
‘“ hǎo xiǎn ……
‘“好险……
But the voice abruptly stopped.
nà wéi shǒu zhī rén tǔ le 。 zhuó qì 。 jǔ jiān de liè zhǎo lóng bǐ chuán shuō zhōng de hái shuǎ nán yǐ duì fù yī xiē 。
那为首之人吐了。浊气。咀煎的烈爪龙比传说中的还耍难以对付一些。
The leader turned around and saw a blood flower. The Claw Dragon's claws moved, several claw rays appeared, breaking the silence. A young man with a tiger head was caught off guard and instantly pierced through by the claws.
tā men suī rán yǐ zhòng dí guǎ ， dàn yǐ wán quán de chù zài xià fēng ， zǎo zhī dào 。 jiù bù yīng gāi zhāo rě zhè me kě pà de duì shǒu 。
他们虽然以众敌寡，但已完全的处在下风，早知道。就不应该招惹这么可怕的对手。
The wound was horrifying; there seemed to be no way to save him.
rán ér xiàn zài hòu huǐ yǐ jīng wǎn le ， liè zhǎo lóng bù jǐn pí qì bào zào yǐ jí ， ér qiě gèng shì yá zì bì bào de xìng hū ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén jiù suàn yuàn yì fàng qì wéi bǔ ， zhè chù sheng yě bú huì shàn bà gān xiū 。
然而现在后悔已经晚了，烈爪龙不仅脾气暴躁以极，而且更是睚眦必报的性乎，自己这些人就算愿意放弃围捕，这畜生也不会善罢甘休。
"Fei'er..."
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou gāng gāng zhuǎn guò ， jiù tīng jiàn cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ sān shū ， jiù wǒ ……”
脑海中念头刚刚转过，就听见惨叫声传入耳朵：“三叔，救我……”
The leader’s eyes widened in pain, his expression twisted with sorrow. The dead youth was his own nephew.
huà yīn wèi luò ， nà shēng yīn què gā rán ér zhǐ le 。
话音未落，那声音却嘎然而止了。
How would he explain this to his older brother when they returned?
nà wéi shǒu zhī rén zhuǎn guò tóu qù ， zhǐ jiàn yī duǒ xuè huā yìng rù yǎn lián ， liè zhǎo lóng jiān zhǎo yī wǔ ， jǐ dào zhǎo máng suí zhī fú xiàn ér chū ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， yī hǔ tóu hǔ nǎo de shào nián duǒ bì bù jí 。 dùn shí bèi chuān tòu le shēn tǐ 。
那为首之人转过头去，只见一朵血花映入眼帘，烈爪龙煎爪一舞，几道爪芒随之浮现而出，破空声大做，一虎头虎脑的少年躲避不及。顿时被穿透了身体。
"I’ll fight you to the death..."
nà shāng kǒu jí wéi kě bù ， yǎn kàn méi yǒu bàn fǎ jiù huó 。
那伤口极为可怖，眼看没有办法救活。
The leader roared, and a strange aura seemed to burst from his body. No, it wasn't a demonic aura; just something similar. The spirit energy floating around cultivators of the same nature was vastly different.
‘“ fēng ér ……
‘“峰儿……
Then, his figure suddenly accelerated, fingers tightly clenched, revealing a half-foot-long bone spike on his fist. The explosive power was extraordinary as he transformed into a shadow and charged at the giant creature in the center.
wéi shǒu zhī rén dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， biǎo qíng niǔ qū ， chōng mǎn le shāng tòng zhī yì ， nà sǐ qù de shào nián ， kě shì tā de qīn zhí zi 。
为首之人瞪大了眼珠，表情扭曲，充满了伤痛之意，那死去的少年，可是他的亲侄子。
The Claw Dragon, a second-grade top-tier demon beast, equivalent to an advanced-stage cultivator, wasn't easily dealt with.
huí qù yǐ hòu ， gāi zěn me xiàng èr gē jiāo dài ne ？
回去以后，该怎么像二哥交代呢？
Especially this kind of demon beast; although its spirit intelligence hadn’t been awakened, its combat instinct was high.
“ wǒ hé nǐ pīn le ……”
“我和你拼了……”
Seeing his opponent charge towards him, the dragon's eyes showed a human-like hint of mockery.
wéi shǒu zhī rén yī shēng dà hē ， hún shēn shàng xià jū rán yǒu yī gǔ yāo qì pēn bó ”。… bú duì 。 bú shì yāo qì ， jǐn jǐn shì cái xiē xiāng xiàng ér yǐ 。 tóng xiū yāo zhě hún shēn suǒ fú dòng de líng lì ， yě shì jiǒng yì 。
为首之人一声大喝，浑身上下居然有一股妖气喷薄”。…不对。不是妖气，仅仅是才些相像而已。同修妖者浑身所浮动的灵力，也是迥异。
"Bad move, trap!"
suí hòu ， tā de shēn xíng zhòu rán jiā sù ， wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò 。 quán tou shàng jū rán yǒu yī gēn bàn chǐ lái zhǎng de gǔ cì shēn chū ， zhǎn shì chū lái de bào fā lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 huà wèi yī dào xū yǐng xiàng zhe nà chǎng zhōng de páng rán dà wù pū guò qù le 。
随后，他的身形骤然加速，五指紧握。拳头上居然有一根半尺来长的骨刺伸出，展示出来的爆发力非同小可。化为一道虚影向着那场中的庞然大物扑过去了。
The leader was shocked and tried to dodge but it was too late. He had no choice but to pour all his demonic crystal energy into his body.
liè zhǎo lóng ， èr jiē jí pǐn yāo shòu ， xiāng dāng yú zhù jī qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， kě bú shì nà me hǎo duì fù 。
烈爪龙，二阶极品妖兽，相当于筑基期顶峰的修仙者，可不是那么好对付。
Crackling sounds filled the air as black-red electric arcs appeared on the bone spike’s surface. The crystal in the center of his forehead glowed intensely, indicating he had pushed his demonic crystal energy to its limits.
yóu qí shì zhè zhǒng yāo shòu ， líng zhì suī rán méi cái kāi qǐ 。 dàn zhàn dòu de běn néng què shì bù dī 。
尤其是这种妖兽，灵智虽然没才开启。但战斗的本能却是不低。
However, the Claw Dragon stepped left and turned its body, its tail like a demon snake, striking him hard.
yǎn jiàn duì fāng pū xiàng zì jǐ ， xī de yǎn zhōng jū rán hěn nǐ rén huà de lù chū le jǐ fēn cháo fěng zhī yì 。
眼见对方扑向自己，牺的眼中居然很拟人化的露出了几分嘲讽之意。
"No!"
‘“ bù hǎo ， xiàn cè ！……
‘“不好，陷册！……
The leader seemed to recall something, fear showing on his face as he changed tactics too late. The next moment, he was flung away by the strike.
nà wéi shǒu zhī rén dà jīng shī sè ， xiǎng duǒ ， dàn yǐ jīng lái bù jí le ， zhǐ hǎo jiāng mó jīng zhōng de néng liàng fēng wǎng de zhù rù jìn qù 。
那为首之人大惊失色，想躲，但已经来不及了，只好将魔晶中的能量疯枉的注入进去。
Crackling sounds echoed as trees were broken along the way.
pī lǐ pā lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， nà gǔ cì de biǎo miàn ， jū rán fú xiàn chū le yī quān hēi hóng sè de diàn hú ， ér nà wéi shǒu zhī rén é tóu zhōng xīn chù de shuǐ jīng ， gèng shì liàng dé cì mù ， xiǎn rán ， tā yǐ jiāng tǐ mǎo nèi de mó jīng néng liàng cuī fā dào jí zhì le 。
噼里啪啦之声大做，那骨刺的表面，居然浮现出了一圈黑红色的电弧，而那为首之人额头中心处的水晶，更是亮得刺目，显然，他已将体冇内的魔晶能量催发到极致了。
"Uncle Senior!"
rán ér liè zhǎo lóng què xiàng zuǒ yī bù tà chū ， bàn zhuǎn guò shēn tǐ ， wěi ba yǒu rú mó shé ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe tā chōu guò lái le 。
然而烈爪龙却向左一步踏出，半转过身体，尾巴有如魔蛇，狠狠的向着他抽过来了。
The remaining dozen or so young men and women were shocked, their faces filled with terror, appearing at a loss. Some tried to help the leader, while others wielded knives and swords, attacking the Claw Dragon.
‘“ bù ！……
‘“不！……
Your hands haven't fused with the demonic crystal yet; you're no match for this demon beast. Retreat quickly!
wéi shǒu zhī rén ， xiàng shì xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， liǎn shàng liú lù chū jīng kǒng zhī sè ， biàn zhāo què lái bù jí ， xià yī kè ， yǐ bèi gēn zhēng de chōu fēi le chū qù 。
为首之人，像是想起了什么，脸上流露出惊恐之色，变招却来不及，下一刻，已被根征的抽飞了出去。
The leader was both anxious and angry but could do nothing as he struggled to stand. The desperation in his heart was evident. Would they all perish here today?
pī lǐ pā lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yán tú yǐ bù zhī hé duàn le duō shǎo shù mù 。
噼里啪啦的声音传入耳朵，沿途已不知荷断了多少树木。
His face showed deep sorrow, regretting their greed for the demonic crystal that led them to provoke the Claw Dragon. But what could be done now? There were no regrets in either the cultivation world or the mortal realm.
“ shī shū ！”
“师叔！”
Several of his nephews and nieces hadn't fused with the demonic crystals yet; they were mere mortals despite years of training in family-secreted advanced martial arts. How could they possibly withstand a demon beast equivalent to an advanced-stage cultivator, leading to their total annihilation?
shèng xià de shí jǐ míng shào nán shào nǚ dà jīng shī sè ， liǎn shàng liú lù chū jí wéi jīng kǒng de shén sè ， xiǎn de bù zhī suǒ cuò ， yǒu de qù fú nà wéi shǒu zhī rén ， hái yǒu de tí zhuó shǒu zhōng de dāo jiàn ， xiàng zhe liè zhǎo lóng kǎn qù le 。
剩下的十几名少男少女大惊失色，脸上流露出极为惊恐的神色，显得不知所措，有的去扶那为首之人，还有的提着手中的刀剑，向着烈爪龙砍去了。
But just as things seemed dire, something unexpected happened. In a hundred-mile radius, the sky suddenly darkened without warning. A black dot appeared in the void.
shǒu ， nǐ men hái méi yǒu yǔ mó jīng róng hé 。 bú shì nà yāo shòu de duì shǒu 。 kuài tuì zǒu ！。”
手，你们还没有与魔晶融合。不是那妖兽的对手。快退走！。”
Initially about the size of a fingernail, it rapidly grew larger within seconds.
nà wéi shǒu zhī rén jiàn le ， yòu jí yòu shù ” rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā lián zhàn dōu zhàn bù qǐ lái le ， chú le dà hǒu ， shén me yě bù néng zuò ， xīn zhōng de jiāo jí 。 nà shì kě xiǎng ér zhī ， nán dào jīn tiān ， yào quán jūn fù mò zài zhè lǐ ？
那为首之人见了，又急又恕”然而此时此刻，他连站都站不起来了，除了大吼，什么也不能做，心中的焦急。那是可想而知，难道今天，要全军覆没在这里？
P.S.: The Soul盟主 again tipped 50,000起点币. Thank you, Soul盟主, so generous! Wishing you a happy New Year and good health, all your wishes come true.

脸上满是悲切之意，早知道就不应该贪图魔晶，招惹烈爪龙，然而此时此刻，又能怎么，不论修仙界还是世俗。都没有后悔药卖的。
Phantom Rain also wishes all the Daoists of Hundred Refinement a happy new year with blessings and prosperity. Yesterday I forgot it was Monday, didn't ask for recommendation votes, so this week's recommendation votes are a bit low. Please give more if you can, thank you.

Tinglou Daoist said that each plane in the Spirit Realm should differ greatly. That idea resonated with Phantom Rain. I will work harder.
Legend had it that when cultivators passed the heavenly tribulation, they could ascend to the Spirit Realm.
However, mortal realm cultivators did not know that this desirable higher-level plane was incomplete. The Spirit Realm was composed of hundreds of fragmented small planes, arranged and combined together.
Each plane actually differed greatly in its own right. While their spirit veins were superior and resource-rich compared to the mortal world, the differences between them were astonishing, reaching a level that left one speechless with admiration.
East Sea ranked at the bottom among the small planes forming the Spirit Realm. Despite being just one of these small planes, Pidragon Realm was incomparably different from East Sea in terms of area, cultivator strength, and resources. The quality of spirit veins was simply not on the same level.
Even within all the planes of the Spirit Realm, while it couldn't be considered the absolute top, ranking among the top ten would definitely not be a problem.
The naming after Pidragon had its origins. It was closely related to the legendary Monkey Dragon Immortal.

The area of the Spirit Realm and its various planes differed greatly, beyond just resources and spirit energy concentration. Each plane had unique conditions.
In Pidragon Realm, in a desolate mountain.

Crackling sounds filled the air as black-red electric arcs appeared on the bone spike’s surface. The crystal in the center of his forehead glowed intensely, indicating he had pushed his demonic crystal energy to its limits.
However, the Claw Dragon stepped left and turned its body, its tail like a demon snake, striking him hard.
"No!"
The leader seemed to recall something, fear showing on his face as he changed tactics too late. The next moment, he was flung away by the strike.
Crackling sounds echoed as trees were broken along the way.
"Uncle Senior!"
The remaining dozen or so young men and women were shocked, their faces filled with terror, appearing at a loss. Some tried to help the leader, while others wielded knives and swords, attacking the Claw Dragon.
Your hands haven't fused with the demonic crystal yet; you're no match for this demon beast. Retreat quickly!
The leader was both anxious and angry but could do nothing as he struggled to stand. The desperation in his heart was evident. Would they all perish here today?
His face showed deep sorrow, regretting their greed for the demonic crystal that led them to provoke the Claw Dragon. But what could be done now? There were no regrets in either the cultivation world or the mortal realm.
Several of his nephews and nieces hadn't fused with the demonic crystals yet; they were mere mortals despite years of training in family-secreted advanced martial arts. How could they possibly withstand a demon beast equivalent to an advanced-stage cultivator, leading to their total annihilation?
But just as things seemed dire, something unexpected happened. In a hundred-mile radius, the sky suddenly darkened without warning. A black dot appeared in the void.
Initially about the size of a fingernail, it rapidly grew larger within seconds.
P.S.: The Soul盟主 again tipped 50,000起点币. Thank you, Soul盟主, so generous! Wishing you a happy New Year and good health, all your wishes come true.
Phantom Rain also wishes all the Daoists of Hundred Refinement a happy new year with blessings and prosperity. Yesterday I forgot it was Monday, didn't ask for recommendation votes, so this week's recommendation votes are a bit low. Please give more if you can, thank you.
Tinglou Daoist said that each plane in the Spirit Realm should differ greatly. That idea resonated with Phantom Rain. I will work harder.
