Chapter 1712: Chapter 8: Bursting Soldier Stream, Soul Tree, Firefly Tree, the Emperor’s Gaze!

And so, he retreated again and again, directly reaching the edge of Star Land, hiding within the Soul Tree.

At the same time, a Five Elements Barrier composed of the Lotus system was activated on the periphery, layered with defenses.

"I stayed inside the Soul Tree, my divine skills amplified dozens of times, yet I still couldn’t see how the Green Poison Empress released the toxin or where it went."

Zhao Xing could only marvel at the profound methods of plant life.

"Even if you’re an Emperor-level Minister of Agriculture, exhausting time for a hundred generations, you wouldn’t be able to understand all the traits of the native species, let alone the endless possibilities of the derivative species."

"This path truly has no end."

The Green Poison Empress submerged, and soon Zhao Xing saw the effect.

On the third breath, the ocean began to boil, and by the tenth breath, roars sounded in all four directions, as water demons broke through the surface.

Zhao Xing counted, roughly spotting over fifty Five Elements Dao Domain Realm water demons.

By the fifteenth breath, half of the water demons directly lost their lives and started sinking to the seabed.

By the twentieth breath, the ocean’s water level began to dramatically decrease.

At this point, Zhao Xing discovered the number of deceased Five Elements Dao Domain Realm water demons had reached 214!

By the twenty-fifth breath, the water level decreased dramatically again, and simultaneously Zhao Xing also retreated into the starry sky, observing from afar.

"There might be a Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm water demon in there." Zhao Xing’s expression was solemn, encountering such a great demon meant he had to flee, or else faced the risk of elimination.

He didn’t sense the aura of the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, scanned his vision back and forth, and didn’t see a great demon from the Water Clan emerge.

His judgment was purely because of the dramatic drop in water level, which indicated that both of the Green Poison Empress’s innate divine abilities had been triggered!

"The water element origin decreased dramatically, and then the cycle of the Five Elements began, causing the spiritual energy index of the entire Water Demon No.12 Star Land to plummet dramatically."

"It started at 86, now it’s reduced to 24, and still dropping."

Consuming so much of the spiritual energy origin, it undoubtedly triggered the second divine skill, the Five Elements Soul Piercing Needle.

Without condensing a poisonous needle, it would be impossible to consume that much.

The reason for condensing the poison needle was clearly to deal with a Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm water demon!

"Moo~~"

Suddenly, a mournful sound as if transcending time and space emerged from the seawater.

Zhao Xing’s eardrums immediately began to bleed, and an illusion realm appeared before his eyes.

"Slaughter Thought Blade, Spirit Bell!"

He immediately raised his stance and activated his spiritual defense.

By the twenty-seventh breath, Zhao Xing recovered.

Through the amplification of the Soul Tree, he finally saw beneath the ocean that there was indeed a giant beast.

The massive water clan giant beast was gently floating and sinking in the water, its body was a full one percent of Star Land’s length.

Its body was covered with scales that shimmered with a mysterious glow, each like a meticulously carved gigantic shield, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.

The beast’s head resembled a dragon’s, yet had a pair of massive horns, curved like hooks, exceedingly sharp, as if capable of tearing through the void. Its eyes originally shone like bright lamps, but now were dim, filled with pain and unwillingness.

At some point, a lethal toxin silently invaded its body. The toxin was like a swarm of crazed specters, freely traversing its enormous body, wherever it went, all life was destroyed.

The beast’s body began to display patches of dark green markings, like an evil curse spreading over it.

"It’s ’Mingyuan Mochi’ indeed." Zhao Xing recognized the giant beast’s form, and suddenly realized.

[Mingyuan Mochi]

[Realm: Early Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm]

"Mingyuan Mochi possesses the innate great divine power of ’Bone Shedding Rebirth.’

"Is it now using this trick to evade the Green Poison Empress’s attack?"

Zhao Xing could see Mingyuan Mochi vigorously thrashing its sturdy powerful tail, attempting to dispel the toxin from its body.

Meanwhile, from its head, a smaller Mingyuan Mochi emerged from the original body.

However, this toxin wasn’t targeting the physical body, but the soul.

So even if it completed bone shedding rebirth, the toxin still remained within the soul.

Just its degree became relatively lighter.

The sea water churned as if boiling, with enormous whirlpools constantly forming and dissipating around it.

Because the range of Star Land Ocean was too small, after its rebirth, it couldn’t quickly escape from here.

The Demon Race cannot escape the confines set by the Primordial Realm.

"It will repeatedly undergo the process from Three-in-One True Essence Powder to Five Elements Soul Piercing Needle." Zhao Xing mused.

Unable to leap out from Water Demon No.12 Star Land Ocean, it remained in a pool of toxic water.

Infected over and over, poisoned.

"Death is just a matter of time."

Zhao Xing used Void Species Star Realm Wandering Vine to entangle the Green Poison Empress and hauled her back.

The thirty-first breath had arrived, the Green Poison Empress turned from green to white, her toxins completely released, no need to stay there any longer.

"Let’s go."

Zhao Xing had no need to stay and confirm death, and directly left Water Demon No.12 Star Land.

"Moo~"

Mingyuan Mochi roared painfully, the sound causing the seawater to hum, as if the entire ocean trembled for its pain.

Its limbs paddled forcefully, yet gradually lost the strength they once had, each struggle grew increasingly feeble.

As time passed, the toxin wreaked more havoc, and the life force of Mingyuan Mochi kept fading.

On the 25th day after Zhao Xing’s departure, its movements grew increasingly sluggish, and finally, its massive body collapsed like a mountain, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Throughout its descent, its scales began to fall off, scattered in the deep blue seawater, like lost treasures deprived of their luster.
