Mortal Mirror

Boom! The entire earth seemed to tremble. The giant snake's head swayed a few times before collapsing heavily on the ground.

Its massive tongue lolled out, its eyes filled with resentment as it looked at Li Ergou. One could see that its hard head had been struck by Li Ergou's powerful blow, causing several cracks to appear, with blood flowing from the fissures.

Chen Qingping, witnessing Li Ergou's current state, couldn't believe her eyes. He was ferociously powerful to this extent. Even though the giant snake was bound by countless iron chains, it was not something he should be able to kill. Yet, the reality was that the great snake was barely breathing, clearly on its last legs.

At this moment, Chen Qingping could only acknowledge that Li Ergou was a monster, unimaginably fierce, practically a god-like man.

Above the snake's head, Li Ergou sighed inwardly. He might have looked relaxed just now, but he had used almost all his strength, nearly resorting to his natal flying sword.

Fortunately, the Azure Sky Gauntlets were truly formidable, providing him with an additional two million jin of strength out of thin air. It was incredibly satisfying.

Now, facing cultivators of the same level, he could be said to be invincible. It wasn't him boasting, but he had never felt so powerful before.

Li Ergou walked down the giant snake's spine. The snake's body was extremely long, and he didn't see its tail for quite a while. Every ten feet or so, he saw a massive bronze chain piercing through the snake's back. However, these chains were full of cracks, suggesting that it wouldn't be long before the creature broke free.

It was simply too unlucky, otherwise, it wouldn't have encountered Li Ergou.

After walking a full fifty feet, Li Ergou finally reached its tail and stepped down. Looking at the massive snake body, a hint of greed arose in Li Ergou's heart. If he could absorb and refine this creature, he wondered if his cultivation could be further enhanced.

Unfortunately, Chen Qingping and Li Muzhen were present, making it inconvenient for him to act. But, such good flesh and blood, he naturally wouldn't waste.

He suddenly summoned the White Rainbow Sword and directly severed all the chains binding the snake. Then, with a wave of his hand, he collected it into the bronze mirror. Whether it lived or died was beyond his concern. Anyway, he intended to absorb this giant snake after leaving the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Wasting resources was a sin, especially with such a giant beast. Li Ergou couldn't bear to do it.

Chen Qingping couldn't help but twitch. A fifty-foot giant snake? She found it hard to believe what kind of spatial artifact Li Ergou had used to store such a massive creature.

Ordinary Qiankun bags could only hold twenty or thirty feet of space at most. Could it be that this guy possessed a special spatial treasure?

Thinking about it, Li Ergou was so powerful and held a high position in the imperial court. It was reasonable for him to have a spatial treasure.

Alice exclaimed, "What an amazing treasure! It can actually store such a large snake. Li Ergou, how about you trade that spatial treasure to me? I'll exchange it with something of equal value."

Li Ergou glanced at Alice and snorted, "They say beautiful women are brainless. Are you stupid? Trade? I could just kill you and snatch your treasure. Trading is too troublesome. Is there anything better than getting something for free?"

Alice: "You…"

Before she could finish, Li Ergou continued, "Alright, I'm not interested in robbing you. I'm a very trustworthy person. Just follow me closely, and you might even pick up some benefits."

He looked ahead and suddenly exclaimed softly, "There's actually a big pit there. I seem to smell the unique fragrance of fruits."

Li Muzhen said, "Could it be the Nine-Colored Fruit?"

Hearing this name, everyone became excited and hurried forward.

When everyone saw the scene before them, they were dumbfounded.

In the giant pit, there was actually a huge monster. No, to be precise, it was a giant nine-headed bird. Each of its nine heads was like a giant tower.

Its massive body was a hundred feet tall. Its body was curled up in the giant underground pit. It was unknown what it had experienced, but its body was covered with countless wounds, large and small, and many of its wings had been severed.

None of its nine heads were intact, either exploded or scarred, a truly miserable sight.

But even in death, the powerful demonic energy emanating from its body surged, carrying an immense force that made people feel suffocated and breathless even from a distance.

"Nine-headed bird, it really is a nine-headed bird!" Alice said excitedly.

Li Muzhen, however, looked at the center of the nine-headed bird, or rather, the center of the pit, and said, "Look at the center, there seems to be a person sitting under that big tree. Oh, wait, isn't that a prostrated alien next to that person? The alien has so many wings, and there are scattered alien wings beside him."

Everyone looked over, and it was true. Their gazes had been drawn to the giant bird corpse, but now, following Li Muzhen's guidance, it was as he said.

This was truly astonishing. Who exactly was that person?

And who was that alien on the ground? Especially those wings on the ground, they weren't just white, they even emitted a faint golden light.

Upon seeing this, a hint of greed flashed in everyone's eyes. Alice quickly said, "That's an adult from the God Country. Golden wings, only those who have achieved the God Ring will have them."

She paused, suddenly thinking of the murals on the stone wall. She said in disbelief, "Could it be that the things on the murals are real? Those are Lord Sauron's wings. This, this is too terrifying."

She opened her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Looking at the deep pit for a moment, Chen Qingping exclaimed, "Look, there are several different colored fruits on that big tree. Are those Nine-Colored Fruits?"

Only then did everyone notice that there were indeed several fruits emitting a faint glow in various colors on the tree. A fragrant aroma wafted over, undoubtedly emanating from the fruits below.

It seemed that the bottom was full of treasures, making it impossible not to go down.

A San and A Si's eyes lit up with joy. Without saying a word to Li Ergou, they jumped down. After all, first come, first served. Now was not the time to be polite. Treasures belonged to whoever grabbed them first.

The two could see that there were a limited number of fruits. If they didn't act now, they wouldn't have a chance once Li Ergou made a move.

Seeing this, Chen Qingping quickly tried to stop them, saying, "Don't!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The two didn't look back and quickly descended into the deep pit.

Just as the two were secretly rejoicing in their foresight, they saw demonic energy surging out of the giant demon corpse below them, transforming into two giant claws that grabbed down at them.

Seeing this, the two didn't care. After all, they wouldn't fear a dead monster. This was the arrogance of all favored sons of heaven.

The two summoned their flying swords and shouted, "Monster, still acting up even in death! Watch me extract your soul and refine your bones, leaving you with no burial place!"

With a thought, the flying swords in their hands flashed, and two sword beams shot out, slashing down.
