Hell Emperor.

Chapter 320 Shura Jie - Fu Long
Even though the Soul-Binding Rope is only mid-grade human grade, for ghosts without innate magical powers, it would take decades of hard work to learn this technique.

Looking back, it took Ye Jie twenty years to learn the Soul-Binding Rope, and he made no progress after that.

For Ye Jie at that time, being able to learn this middle-grade human-level technique with a poor body without any talent or supernatural power was already a great blessing and an incredible progress.

Now, with just a thought, Ye Jie was able to make the newly recruited ghost messenger Shan Yao learn the martial arts that he had spent twenty years to master. He felt quite emotional.

Seeing that Shan Yao was still unhappy and didn't understand how great a benefit he had enjoyed, Ye Jie held his forehead helplessly. Why didn't he encounter such a good thing at that time? He had to rely on decades of painstaking study to get started.

"Stop complaining. If you really don't want to, I'll let you forget about the Soul-Binding Rope." Ye Jie shrugged helplessly.

When Shan Yao heard that Ye Jie wanted him to forget the magical skills he had just learned, he refused to do anything. He took two steps back alertly and said with a curled lip, "Forget it. I have everything. It's okay to owe some good deeds."

As the two were talking, there was another violent earthquake. In an instant, the earth was shaking. Small pieces of gravel kept jumping up and down, and then fell back to the ground, making crackling sounds and raising thick dust.

"cough……"

Yam flailed his arms, coughed uncontrollably, and rubbed his nose vigorously.

Ye Jie looked up, feeling somewhat concerned, and said, "The Earth Dragon King in the distance seems to be moving again. I'll go see what's going on."

Shan Yao was a little anxious: "The Earth Dragon King is a very gentle monster. I have never seen it like this. Can I go with you?"

Ye Jie shook his head and refused: "No. You stay here and guide the souls of the dead around you. Don't let their souls escape. This is your job."

Shan Yao lowered his head helplessly and said, "Well, you'd better be careful. The Earth Dragon King is one of the 72 Cave Demon Kings. You must not be hurt by it. If you can, please stop it..."

Ye Jie nodded, then started to use his body skills and quickly moved towards the deep valley in the distance.

The surrounding vibrations continued, and the closer to the center of the valley, the stronger the vibrations became. The ground was shaking all the time. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way for them to continue moving forward on such a bumpy ground. Fortunately, Ye Jie was not an ordinary person. He used the Divine Dragon Transformation and ran like a dragon, and was not affected at all.

In the deep valley, the surroundings were in a mess, trees fell down, roads were congested, cracks spread on the ground, animals fled in all directions, and everywhere you looked was a scene of disaster.

Ye Jie was secretly shocked. The scenery in the distance attracted his attention at this time. He looked carefully and saw a bottomless ravine appeared on the ground in front of him. The ravine was about a hundred feet deep, as if it was smashed out by some huge object. It was shocking to see from a distance.

"Is this something the Earth Dragon King created? If so, its power should not be underestimated."

Ye Jie's pupils shrank, and his thoughts couldn't help but recall Shan Yao's reminder to him.

The Earth Dragon King. Although its name only adds one more word "king" to the ordinary earth dragon, it has a special meaning. It means that it is one of the demon kings with a great reputation.

"The realm of the Earth Dragon King is probably on par with the Chi Demon King I met before..."

Ye Jie was slightly shocked. After transforming into a dragon, the Chi Demon King's strength underwent a complete transformation, which was extraordinary. Even if Li Fei'e and others had the magic sword in their hands, they could not do anything to the Chi Demon King.

Now, judging from the various traces left by the Earth Dragon King, its strength is actually on par with that of the Chi Demon King, which surprised Ye Jie a little.

According to Shan Yao, the Earth Dragon King would not hurt people on a normal day. Instead, it would protect the people in the village from being harmed by external enemies. This made Ye Jie even more puzzled. The higher the realm of the monster, the more ferocious it should be.

With this doubt in mind, Ye Jie moved forward quickly and soon came to the center of the shock. He saw the huge monster wriggling in front of him at a glance.

From a distance, this creature looks like a python or a snake, but its body is a thousand times larger than an ordinary python. There are no neatly arranged scales or shells on its body. Instead, it has sections and rings that are interconnected, contracting and wriggling, and it exudes a scent of earth brewing on the earth.

"Its realm... a third-level demon fairy."

After Ye Jie sensed it, his expression became serious. As he expected, the Earth Dragon King was extremely powerful. He didn't know how long it had lived to have such a good fortune.

As if sensing Ye Jie's breath, the earth began to tremble violently. The Earth Dragon King was startled and stood up. Its huge body slowly squirmed and its tail end lifted up, revealing its extremely sharp mouthparts. Its dense fangs were arranged in a circle like saw teeth, and there was no end in sight. Anyone who fell into the Earth Dragon King's mouth would be strangled to ashes in an instant.

Earth dragons live deep underground and move freely beneath the earth. No matter how indestructible the rocks are or how minerals are never seen, they cannot resist the digging of earth dragons. Their sharp mouthparts are enough to crush all the soil and rocks.

Some extremely lucky or extremely unlucky earth dragons can even dig all the way into the underworld. Their strong vitality can ensure their survival in both worlds.

Ye Jie narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt a strong hostility from the Earth Dragon King, as if he would attack him in the next moment. The demon king in front of him was not as docile as Shan Yao said.

Just as Ye Jie expected, a wild beast-like scream suddenly came to his ears. An unstoppable force suddenly burst out from the huge mouth of the Earth Dragon King, violently sucking in everything around it. The force was so great that it rolled up a hurricane. Any creature caught in the hurricane could not escape.

Ye Jie stood in the center of the hurricane, his body like a reef before a storm. No matter how the wind howled, he remained motionless.

The Earth Dragon King is very powerful, but compared to Ye Jie, he is still a little inferior.

Even the Golden Wheel Palace Master, who was also at the third level, was defeated by Ye Jie. No matter how powerful this Earth Dragon King was, he was still far inferior to the cunning Golden Wheel Palace Master.

Just as Ye Jie was trying to resist the strong wind, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet.

On the ground, small pieces of gravel jumped unnaturally, just like the situation during the previous earthquake. However, Ye Jie, who had a keen sense, noticed something unusual. Under the ground, something was approaching him quickly!
Ye Jie did not dare to hesitate. He soared into the air and instantly turned into a divine dragon. The loud dragon roar spread throughout the area. At the same time, the ground where he was originally standing collapsed, followed by a sharp creaking sound.

Looking down, Ye Jie's face darkened, and he saw a rapidly rotating huge mouthpart breaking out of the ground, swallowing up the place where he had just stood and the surrounding area within a hundred steps. Instead, there was a bloody mouth, and another head of the Earth Dragon King popped out.

"Two heads? No, it's more like two ends of a body."

Ye Jie scanned the area with his mind and got the answer in his mind. These two heads belonged to the same Earth Dragon King. Unlike ordinary crawling snake monsters, the Earth Dragon King had sharp mouthparts at both ends of its body that could crush its enemies into slag.

Seeing the whole appearance of the Earth Dragon King, Ye Jie was secretly amazed. Even with his knowledge, he had never seen such a unique two-headed monster. It is said that the Earth Dragon is derived from the earthworm, so it also retains some of the earthworm's abilities, and its vitality is extremely strong. If the body of the Earth Dragon is cut in half rashly, the two broken parts of the Earth Dragon will turn into two Earth Dragons again and attack the enemy!
"So what if there are two heads? That's all." Divine light condensed in Ye Jielong's pupils. The earth dragon's sneak attack failed, so now it was his turn to attack.

Looking down, one of the heads of the Earth Dragon King is attracting all the enemy's attention, while the other head is hiding underground waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. As a demon king, its wisdom in combat is no weaker than that of an ordinary practitioner.

However, the Earth Dragon King is in trouble this time as he encounters Ye Jie, who is far stronger than him in every aspect.

If the Divine Dragon Transformation was still in the initial stage, Ye Jie might have to spend some effort to defeat the Earth Dragon King.

Now, with the support of the seven stitching pages, Ye Jie's divine dragon transformation has leaped to the Wanhua level. His overall strength has increased many times over before. He doesn't even take the mere Earth Dragon King seriously.

As Ye Jie's mind moved, a deep and ancient light flashed in his dragon pupils. His concentrated and undispersed gaze seemed to contain the changes of time and the birth and death of the world.

Stared at by Ye Jie's dragon eyes, the Earth Dragon King was completely stunned. Both of his heads were in a daze, as if he had lost all his sanity and just stood there stupidly.

When the Eye of Candle Dragon appears, all the evil spirits will be defeated without any attack. This is a powerful ability extended from the Divine Dragon Transformation that has been upgraded to the level of all changes.

The Earth Dragon King was caught off guard and fell into the trap. How could Ye Jie let go of such a good opportunity?

"Divine Dragon Transformation—Divine Dragon Swings Its Tail!"

Ye Jie, who had transformed into a dragon, used the killing move of the Divine Dragon Transformation at this moment. He swooped down from the air, and his huge shadow quickly enlarged. His size was no less than that of the Earth Dragon King.

A golden stream of light leaped past. It was the dragon's tail that contained great power. Even if there was a mountain in front of the dragon's tail, it would be split in pieces.

There was a deafening thud, and the huge body of the Earth Dragon King came out from deep underground, drawing an arc in the air, flying a hundred steps away, and then fell heavily to the ground.

After being hit so hard, the body of the Earth Dragon King curled up into a ball. The severe pain made it tremble constantly and it could only twitch weakly. Even its struggles were intermittent, and it was unable to continue causing earthquakes at all.

Ye Jie transformed into a divine dragon, floating in the sky, looking down from a high vantage point. Since he already knew that the Earth Dragon King had the ability to revive after losing his body, he deliberately chose a blunt attack that could spread the force without cutting off its body. The best move was the dragon's tail swing.

"Wait...what is that?"

Using the dragon's tail, the entire body of the Earth Dragon King was shaken out of the ground. Ye Jie was able to see the full appearance of the Earth Dragon King, and a certain part of its body also deeply attracted Ye Jie's attention.

However, a lump as big as a hill suddenly appeared in the middle of the earthworm-like body of the Earth Dragon King. Looking closely, it was clearly the crooked and entangled body of the Earth Dragon King himself.

Compared to ordinary earthworms, the Earth Dragon King is not only larger in size, but also unusually long. Perhaps because both ends can move freely, it somehow managed to entangle itself and tie a knot in the middle of its body.

"Could this be the reason why the Earth Dragon King went crazy?"

Ye Jie frowned. According to Shan Yao, the Earth Dragon King was usually very docile and would never hurt anyone, let alone intentionally cause an earthquake. The reason why it was moving around like crazy was probably because it wanted to get rid of the knot on its body, right?

With this thought in mind, Ye Jie, who had transformed into a divine dragon, slowly descended from the sky and came to the side of the Earth Dragon King.

The brief fight made the Earth Dragon King realize the difference in power between the two. He didn't dare to move and huddled in place, trembling.

Ye Jie raised his dragon claw and poked the lump in the middle of the Earth Dragon King's body.

Following Ye Jie's actions, the Earth Dragon King seemed to be stimulated, his body swaying violently, as if he wanted to cause another earthquake.

Instead of loosening up due to the Earth Dragon King's swinging, the two ends of the lump became tighter and tighter, and the surrounding area even turned into a frightening purple-blue color, and some healed cracks could be vaguely seen.

There was a hint of understanding in Ye Jie's eyes. Seeing that he couldn't untie the knot, the Earth Dragon King decided to tear his body apart by struggling violently.

However, the body of the Earth Dragon King was extremely strong, and its vitality was far beyond that of ordinary creatures. Even if one tried one's best to create several cracks near the lump, they would heal themselves in a short while. There was no way to completely break them apart. Instead, they became tighter and tighter, causing unbearable pain.

"I can actually tie a knot on my own body. Is this the same as being trapped in a cocoon?"

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but shook his head.

Below, the Earth Dragon King seemed to want to struggle again, but Ye Jie slowly said: "Don't move, I can help you untie the knot and stop your pain."

The Earth Dragon King raised its front and back heads and aimed its sharp mouthparts at Ye Jie in the middle. However, this time, it did not launch an attack. Instead, it stayed where it was like a human being, wailing, its body trembling slightly, as if it had some expectations.

Ye Jie stretched out his dragon claws and grasped the body of the Earth Dragon King tightly.

The Earth Dragon King was so huge that it took hundreds of people to hold it together. Even if an ordinary person was very strong, he couldn't untie a knot as big as a hill, but this was not a problem for Ye Jie.

The size of the body after the transformation into a dragon will continue to expand as the level of the dragon transformation increases. Ye Jie's dragon body is also not small now. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be regarded as a mountain, which is just right for untangling knots.

Ye Jie carefully moved it, as if looking for a thread, and untied the knot in the middle of the Earth Dragon King's body like peeling silk from a cocoon, and soon found the cause of the knot.

"Put your head back."

Ye Jie grasped the right side of the Earth Dragon King's body and pushed it violently with the power of the dragon. The Earth Dragon King was obedient and did not resist. The right side of his head pulled back as Ye Jie exerted force. He did this several times and finally untied the knot on his body.

After untying the knot, the Earth Dragon King was overjoyed, and kept rubbing his body in front of Ye Jie's dragon claws, refusing to leave no matter what.
