Chapter 112: Entering Jun Mo’s Body
Only then did Ning Ke realize what it meant for his strength to be exposed.
He turned his gaze back, praying that Lou Yunxiao wouldn’t associate him with the Demon Venerable.
Fortunately, Lou Yunxiao only stared at him for a moment before retracting his gaze. Suppressing his suspicions, he held his swords to block Jun Mo’s claws, standing together with Ning Ke.
Qing Ru, who had been knocked to the ground, climbed up and made a hand seal.
His body swelled several times in size. His snake tail entwined around the silver dragon’s waist, and his upper body pressed against it.
He tossed a “thank you” to the two of them. Then, he dragged Jun Mo along as they both fell into the giant lake in the distance, sending up a massive spray of water.
The dragon and snake rolled together. Qing Ru’s shoulder was bitten by dragon teeth, and blood seeped out, yet he wouldn’t let go.
He simply held Jun Mo tightly, calling his name over and over, speaking to him.
Ning Ke and Lou Yunxiao noticed that Jun Mo’s vertical pupils had turned from gold to red.
Even the scales on half of his body had turned black, as if they were being permeated by a toxin.
“The poison in Big Father’s body is spreading again.” Niao Niao was so anxious she was almost in tears. She told Ning Ke, “When Big Father first woke up and went berserk, we thought he was just too traumatized by the destruction of his clan. Later, we realized that every time he loses control, his eyes turn a bit redder and his scales turn black. Only then did Little Father and I realize he was afflicted with a strange poison. This toxin gradually erodes his nerves, making him lose his sanity until he eventually becomes a monster that only knows slaughter.”
“Listen to this description…” Ning Ke exchanged a glance with Lou Yunxiao and voiced his doubt. “Doesn’t it sound like a Demon?”
Ten thousand years ago, the Divine Descent Snow Dragon Clan was wiped out right when the Demons appeared…
Ten thousand years later, Nan Lou obtained the spatial power that only a God should possess from a certain person…
And now, this strange toxin that resembled demonic corruption…
Could it be that the one who destroyed the Snow Dragon Clan was the same “God” who gave Nan Lou his spatial power?
Ning Ke was shocked by his own conjecture.
He even felt a deep sense of dread.
Demons were already so difficult to deal with. How could they possibly cope with the God behind them?
Before Ning Ke could think further, Lou Yunxiao beside him spoke up. “Since we know the poison is similar to a Demon’s, I have a method I want to try.”
Ning Ke snapped back and asked, “What method?”
Lou Yunxiao tossed the Hongyun sword to him. As Ning Ke caught it, he heard Lou Yunxiao say: “Cover me. I’m going to…”
“Rush into Senior Jun Mo’s body.”
Ning Ke was stunned. He frowned. “Are you crazy?”
“The physical strength of the dragon clan is immense, and his power is close to that of a deity. You are only in the Integration Stage—if you enter his belly, it will be nearly impossible to get back out!”
Lou Yunxiao smiled at those words. “A-Ke, you really do love me.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so worried about me.”
“…” Ning Ke froze.
In the next instant, Lou Yunxiao had already soared into the air.
Ning Ke gritted his teeth; he had no choice but to follow.
“Senior Qing Ru, please release Senior Jun Mo for a moment! I have a way to help him detoxify!”
Qing Ru was stunned to hear Lou Yunxiao’s shout.
“What are you doing joining the chaos! With your cultivation level, how could you possibly help Jun Mo!”
“He can with me helping him.” Ning Ke’s voice sounded from behind.
Even though he didn’t approve of Lou Yunxiao’s methods, strangely enough, he had a mysterious sense of trust in the man.
Perhaps it was their rapport from ten thousand years ago, or their rapport from two years as fellow disciples in the Sword Sect.
The Lou Yunxiao he knew was someone who always followed through on his word.
To the point that in such an emergency, he would subconsciously follow the other’s lead.
“Do you really have a way?” Qing Ru had seen Ning Ke’s strength, so he relaxed his hold on Jun Mo.
“Senior Qing Ru just needs to let go. Leave the rest to us.”
Qing Ru nodded and retreated. His scarred body slid away and shrank.
He collapsed on the shore and was supported by Niao Niao.
The young girl said with heartache, “Little Father, let me apply medicine for you.”
Qing Ru asked her, “Did you tell them about Jun Mo?”
“Mm…” Niao Niao said. “I didn’t think they looked like bad people.”
Qing Ru watched the two of them seriously fighting Jun Mo and felt a sliver of hope in his heart.
“If they really can help Jun Mo detoxify…”
“I am willing to do everything in my power to repay them.”
…
Ning Ke held the Hongyun sword to cover Lou Yunxiao. The sword emitted excited hums.
Lou Yunxiao smiled at Ning Ke and said, “I can tell Hongyun misses you.”
Ning Ke was slightly dazed, feeling a bit lost.
That ten thousand years had completely fractured his sense of time.
Coming back here, he felt out of place with everyone around him.
Now, fighting side-by-side with Lou Yunxiao like this, the feeling of being forgotten slowly ebbed away.
It actually gave him a faint sense of pleasure…
His sword qi kicked up a massive spray of water, hitting Jun Mo’s dragon eyes. Ning Ke used his sword to pry open the dragon’s mouth. Lou Yunxiao saw the opportunity and dove into the dragon’s maw without hesitation. At the last second, he said to Ning Ke: “Wait for me to come out.”
Ning Ke narrowed his eyes and retreated to a distance.
He pointed the Hongyun sword forward. Several pillars of water rose, surrounding Jun Mo, only to be instantly frozen into ice by the dragon.
The dragon’s claws shattered the ice pillars. The giant dragon roared in anger, and snowflakes immediately began to fall within this space.
“Not good! Jun Mo has used his Domain!” Qing Ru’s voice reached Ning Ke’s ears.
Ning Ke immediately felt that within these falling snowflakes, his body was like it had fallen into a mire. His Yao power was being ruthlessly suppressed.
But in the next moment, Qing Ru patted Ning Ke’s shoulder, and the pressure lightened significantly.
Qing Ru had opened his Domain, wrapping Ning Ke inside it to reduce the pressure on him.
“Little friend A-Ke, Domain power is the privilege of the Gods. In other words, only by comprehending Domain power can one be qualified to ascend to godhood.”
“I see that your strength is extraordinary. you should have the talent to comprehend a Domain. Now, I will take this opportunity to teach you how to develop your own!”
Qing Ru had initially been hostile toward Ning Ke and Lou Yunxiao, and he had been angry that Ning Ke’s question brought back Jun Mo’s painful memories.
But after seeing Ning Ke protect the dragon eggs without hesitation, his hostility had vanished.
Now, seeing that Ning Ke didn’t know how to use a Domain, he decided to teach him on the spot as a way of repayment.
Hearing that this was a power only possessed by Gods, Ning Ke’s eyes brightened.
He thought that if he were to face the God behind the Demons in the future, his strength would need to be as great as possible.
He quickly nodded and said, “Then I thank you, Senior!”
Outside, Qing Ru taught Ning Ke how to sense a Domain.
Inside Jun Mo’s body, Lou Yunxiao carefully searched for Jun Mo’s inner core.
The dragon’s body was too massive. The interior was pitch black, and because of the fierce fighting outside, the dragon was constantly rolling, making Lou Yunxiao’s footing unstable.
As he hit the flesh walls, he felt a chill seep into his body, rushing straight to his sea of consciousness!
Almost instantly, the miniature Lou Yunxiao in his sea of consciousness opened its eyes and grabbed the stray black mist, devouring it completely.
“This poison really does have the same source as the Demons.”
Lou Yunxiao thought of something and took the Buddha Lotus Lamp from his spatial bag, hanging it at his waist.
A-Ke said this was his mother’s item.
But Lou Yunxiao had never heard his mother mention the Buddha Lotus Lamp.
Judging by how Wugou had used it before, this lamp was likely the nemesis of all things demonic.
Now that he himself was a nemesis of the Demons, plus the Buddha Lotus Lamp…
He was confident he could help Jun Mo detoxify.
Amidst his thoughts, Lou Yunxiao finally found the inner core that had been tainted black.
Dragons were also a type of beast. Most of their power was driven by their inner core.
If he could make the core shed its corruption, he could stop the spread of the demonic qi.
With that thought, Lou Yunxiao stepped forward and grabbed the massive inner core.
Boom—
Terrifying demonic qi seemed to find a vent. It flooded into Lou Yunxiao’s body frantically!
