Tsk-Tsk!

Right at this moment, the two other Devil Star Vines—which didn’t move—had suddenly swept towards them, frightening the Yazi Beast and Jiang Yi.

The Yazi Beast’s eyes were filled with confusion. Why didn’t the two Devil Star Vines move earlier? Why did it only attack now? If they were bound by the Devil Star Vine again, they would have to wait for death since Jiang Xiaonu was currently unconscious.

Once the Yazi Beast recalled about Jiang Xiaonu, it immediately roared out, “Kid, quickly get that lass out! The Devil Star Vines are fearful of her aura presence!”

Jiang Yi paused for a moment and didn’t listen to the Yazi Beast’s advice. Jiang Xiaonu was currently unconscious, and her aura presence was extremely weak now. Would the Devil Star Vines still be fearful even if he drew her out?

He stomped on the ground and burst over, executing consecutive palm strikes while blasting out the flames. The Devil Star Vine might be formidable and extremely tough, but Jiang Yi didn’t believe that the dreadful Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames wouldn’t be able to incinerate this Devil Star Vine!

Tsk-Tsk!

As the flames whizzed out, they were like a huge forest fire that was suddenly swept over by a huge gale. It was abnormally horrific, and the Devil Star Vines were instantly engulfed by the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames.

Tsk-Tsk!

Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast were instantly delighted as the Devil Star Vine immediately released a ‘tsk-tsk’ sound upon contact with the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. Plenty of black fluid oozed out, and there were scorched marks. The burning speed might not be fast enough, but the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames was certainly about to incinerate it.

“Instant shift!”

After sending out a few palm strikes, he immediately instant-shifted as another one of the Devil Star Vine was rushing from the other side. If Jiang Yi allowed it to get near, it might affect his ability to instant-shift again.

Buzz!

His body instantly appeared in a far distance while he raised his hand again to blast out flames at the Devil Star Vine. After sending out a few palm strikes, he instant-shifted again while constantly sending out flames. The giant Devil Star Vines were moving around rapidly trying to pursue Jiang Yi, but they would only encounter the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames that were blasted out by Jiang Yi.

Tsk-Tsk!

After rushing into the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames multiple times, the two Devil Star Vines suffered multiple severe injuries and were finally afraid. They quickly withdrew back into the blood pools to recuperate and didn’t dare to pursue Jiang Yi anymore. However, it would constantly shiver and emit an ear-piercing sound, which would stimulate the zombies to attack Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast.

“Kid, can you keep this king into the Universal Palace? If this carried on, this king is about to become a zombie beast!”

There was a voice with hidden bitterness that echoed from below. Jiang Yi immediately realized it and flashed beside the Yazi Beast. He blasted out the flames to incinerate the nearby zombies before he quickly controlled the Fire Spirit Pearl to transfer a wisp of energy to the Yazi Beast.

If this energy could protect him and expel the black aura, it could naturally help the demon king as well. Once the energy entered the demon king, it immediately shivered and spoke with an ecstatic tone, “Good stuff! Give me some more of it, kid!”

“None!”

Jiang Yi threw the Yazi Beast into the Universal Palace without any hesitation and didn’t bother about its life or death anymore. He looked up at the giant black pit and prepared to get out.

This underground world was too horrific, and who knew what would happen if he continued to stay here? He better leave as soon as possible.

Buzz!

His body had shifted to mid-air. After scanning with his divines senses, he was going to instant-shift upwards again. For a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the blood pool from a distance.

He discovered two stalks of spirit herb by the side of the blood pool. There was only a piece of leaf on each of the spirit herb, and it was very similar to the Sweet Flag Leaf. It was similarly translucent and lipid, like a piece of suet jade.

Are those really Sweet Flag Leaf?

Jiang Yi hesitated. If he went near the blood pool, he might get attacked by the Devil Star Vines. If he wasn’t careful enough, he would be wrapped up; and no one would be able to rescue him in this world. When the Devil Star Vine trapped its victim, it would cause disorder in the essence force. If Jiang Yi wasn’t able to circulate his essence force, how was he going to release the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames?

Seeking fortune in danger! I will just do it!

The Sweet Flag Leaf was too precious, and if a single one was able to transform his soul spirit, another two more might help strengthen his soul spirit to the next level. With a stronger soul spirit, it would be much easier to cultivate the Myriad Clone sorcery art. Moreover, if Jiang Yi wanted to cultivate the Divine Perception, he would require a stronger soul spirit. The Yazi Beast also said that this continent didn’t have any Sweet Flag Leaf.

His eyes flickered as he constantly instant-shifted towards the left side of the blood pool. The zombies tried to fly up and use their claws to rip Jiang Yi into pieces. He was currently quite far from the surface, and so the zombies couldn’t reach him.

He instant-shifted slowly and got nearer bit by bit. When he was about where he wanted to go to, he suddenly instant-shifted above the blood pool and abruptly sent out two waves of flames before instant-shifting again.

He constantly shifted around the blood pool and continuously released the flames, forcing the Devil Star Vine to dodge incessantly so much that it didn’t dare to counterattack.

Spotting an opportunity, Jiang Yi locked down at the Sweet Flag Leaf below and instantly-shifted to the side of the blood pool. He extended his hands and grabbed the two stalks of spirit herbs. Jiang Yi stored them inside the Fire Spirit Pearl and instant-shifted upwards without looking back.

Tsk-Tsk!

The Devil Star Vine on the other side had absorbed plenty of blood from the blood pool and recovered a little. It shot out again and pursued Jiang Yi!

“You dare pursue me? This Young Master will burn you into crisp!”

Jiang Yi kept on shifting up and through the tunnel. Every time he paused to shift again, he would leave behind a sea of fire that enveloped the entire tunnel. If this Devil Star Vine wanted to give chase, it would have to go through the sea of fire or wait for it to dissipate.

The Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames was just too dreadful!

The Devil Star Vine chose the latter option. It truly wanted to crush Jiang Yi to death, but it had to wait for the flames to dissipate before it could continue to scuttle up. Even though its speed was very fast, it was going to be impossible to catch up to Jiang Yi.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi continuously shifted upwards and done so for a few hundred times, but he still couldn’t see the exit. He was silently astonished in his heart and thought about the underground world. Could it really be the Netherworld Realm?

Swish!

He instant-shifted again and was exhilarated when he suddenly spotted some light above. His next instant shift brought him to the underwater plaza previously. He scanned the surroundings and wondered what could be at the far ends of this plaza? He didn’t dare to stay and continued to shift upwards.

Fifteen minutes later!

He finally instant-shifted out. He looked at the vast sea region and azure sky, smelling the fresh air. These gave him an urge to cry. The world below and the world above were completely different, and he felt as though he had returned to the human world from the Netherworld Realm.

“Jiang Yi!”

Three figures burst out from a ship in the distance as they looked at Jiang Yi with disbelief. Jiang Xiaonu had only gone down for a short moment, and Jiang Yi actually came back alive?

“Boss!”

Qian Wanguan and the others were alerted as they frantically rushed out from the cabin. When they saw that frail-looking figure in the sky, they all started to tear up. In the next second, their tears stop; and the emotion in their eyes turned into astonishment!

Bang!

There was a huge wave the erupted from the seawater below Jiang Yi. One of the Devil Star Vine burst out, but Jiang Yi remained calm. Both his hands lit up as he executed two palm strikes which extended out with flames. The seawater that burst out was immediately evaporated, and the Devil Star Vine which surged towards Jiang Yi fearfully withdrew. Jiang Yi then instant-shifted back without any hurry.

“Those flames!”

Even from a very far distance, the Demon Empress and the others could feel the horror of the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. Grandma Silver Flower’s eyes shrunk as she could imagine herself turning into ashes if she was engulfed by those flames.

The Demon Empress and Shui Youlan looked at each other while they both smiled. Jiang Yi was truly an uncanny prodigy. After narrowly escaping with his life again, his strength had another quantitative leap in improvement.
