Chapter 2306: Netherworld Demon Island

“White Bone Saber Demon Yu Dongyuan.” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze wandered around and finally landed on the second most difficult task among the remaining four.

This task is to kill White Bone Saber Demon Yu Dongyuan.

According to the task scroll description, White Bone Saber Demon Yu Dongyuan is hiding on Netherworld Demon Island in the Vast Sea, an island close to Dragon Heart Island.

He is currently in Ancient Emperor Beast Continent, and traveling to Vast Sea Netherworld Demon Island is not far.

Moreover, after killing White Bone Saber Demon Yu Dongyuan, he can just explore Dragon Heart Island to find the Hongmeng Purple Qi, then break through his strength to Dominator Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak, and kill the remaining three.

He plans to save the strongest opponent, Zhou Ze, for the last task.

At that time, after devouring Zhou Ze, he should be able to break through to Half-step Supreme.

As for the Dao Saint Realm, it should also successfully rank within the top thousand.

The Dao Saint Realm ranking has distinct thresholds every thousand places; the difference between four thousand and three thousand is quite significant, and between two thousand and three thousand is even more so. If he can smoothly rank within the top thousand, his Three Great Dao Saint Forms, Three Great Holy Veins, and Holy Body will undergo tremendous evolution and changes.

Of course, after entering the top thousand, further evolution becomes difficult; to evolve from one thousand to nine hundred places is, without exaggeration, hundreds or thousands of times harder than before.

As for evolving from nine hundred to eight hundred places, it’s even more challenging.

However, this is something Huang Xiaolong has to consider later; for now, the most important thing is to first evolve into the top thousand.

The next day, Huang Xiaolong left the Holy Sect branch in Ancient Emperor Beast Continent and set off for Vast Sea once more.

But Huang Xiaolong wasn’t riding the Treasure Golden Pig; instead, he was on the back of a small Colorful Phoenix enveloped in radiant glow.

This little Colorful Phoenix hatched from a Holy Beast Egg Huang Xiaolong acquired earlier; it has been hatched for some time now. Yet, to Huang Xiaolong’s surprise, this little Colorful Phoenix has nine tails, just like a Nine-tailed Fox.

With nine tails and a phoenix body, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t find any references to such a Holy Beast in his memory.

Though this little Colorful Phoenix appears small, its flying speed is remarkably swift, no less than the Treasure Golden Pig’s.

The fact that this little Colorful Phoenix is already so fast during its infant stage suggests its speed will be unimaginable as it matures.

The little Colorful Phoenix carried Huang Xiaolong, soaring through the clouds and passing over peak after peak.

Suddenly, the little Colorful Phoenix slowed down, opened its mouth, and let out a clear, crisp cry to Huang Xiaolong. Hearing it, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile, then took out a blazing First Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill and tossed it into the little Colorful Phoenix’s mouth.

The little Colorful Phoenix quickly swallowed it, let out a cheerful cry, and accelerated again.

Since this little Colorful Phoenix hatched, Huang Xiaolong has been feeding it one First Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill every day, and they are always Fire Element because this little Colorful Phoenix only devours Fire Element Heaven and Earth Spirit Pills.

Under the daily Fire Element Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill nourishment, the little Colorful Phoenix grows rapidly, its nine-colored feathers glowing ever more brilliantly.

“Little one, luckily you are with me. If you were with ordinary Holy Sect disciples, they’d probably be broke after feeding you for a year even if you don’t starve first!” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

The Treasure Golden Pig requires one Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stone a day, which is manageable, but this little Colorful Phoenix requires one First Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill daily!

Although it’s just a First Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pill, the price far exceeds that of a Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Stone.

In a year, over three hundred First Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pills – how much Holy Currency does that require?

What about ten years?

And this little one is still in its infant stage; if it grows more, it might need to devour Second Grade, Third Grade, or even Fourth Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Pills!

At that time, no matter how wealthy Huang Xiaolong is, he’d still be stretched thin.

At this moment, the little Colorful Phoenix turned back and called out a few times to Huang Xiaolong, with a pleading look on its face.

Huang Xiaolong smiled: “From now on, I’ll call you Little Nine.”

The little Colorful Phoenix nodded in agreement.

A dozen days later.

Huang Xiaolong arrived at Vast Sea once more.

Upon returning to Vast Sea, Huang Xiaolong made a slight detour to Mirage Sea Spirit Island and Sea God Island. After confirming there was nothing amiss, he continued traveling toward Netherworld Demon Island.

Half a month later.

Huang Xiaolong and Colorful Phoenix Little Nine arrived at a Giant Island and hovered above it.

This Giant Island is different from the other Vast Sea islands, with Demonic Qi soaring into the sky and bursts of chilling air. This is Netherworld Demon Island!

Despite being above Netherworld Demon Island, Huang Xiaolong could hear the constant eerie and mournful cries emanating from within.

After hovering for a while, Huang Xiaolong rode the Holy Beast Colorful Phoenix, tearing through the island’s demonic chill air and entered Netherworld Demon Island.

Although the demonic chill air on Netherworld Demon Island was daunting, given Huang Xiaolong’s current Holy Body strength, he didn’t fear it, so he didn’t use any defenses, and the Holy Beast Colorful Phoenix was even less concerned about this demonic chill air, as the Nine-tailed Colorful Phoenix itself is a Fire attribute Holy Beast.

Upon entering Netherworld Demon Island, Huang Xiaolong headed directly with the Colorful Phoenix toward a wasteland in the island’s north.

White Bone Saber Demon Yu Dongyuan is hiding somewhere within this wasteland.

Along the way, he saw the ground below littered with bones of various kinds, dense and numerous; there were bones of Ancient Divine Beasts, Primordial Clans, and even some that Huang Xiaolong couldn’t identify.

Some bones were mountain-sized, others as tiny as dust.

Above these bones, Corpse Qi occasionally gathered, forming a swirling vortex that swept through. This Corpse Qi is extremely toxic, and even an ordinary Half-step Supreme inhaling just a little might fall.

Not long after entering the island, Huang Xiaolong encountered some Netherworld Demons. These demons cultivate by devouring the island’s demonic chill air, making them incredibly cold and notorious fierce beasts in Vast Sea.

However, these Netherworld Demons hadn’t come close before they were instantly slaughtered by Huang Xiaolong’s Dominator Will manifested Chaos Axe.

All along the way, Huang Xiaolong killed approximately thousands of them.

“Junior sister, is there really a Langya Tree on Netherworld Demon Island? We’ve been on the island for more than ten days without seeing a trace of it!” A voice echoed from afar as Huang Xiaolong flew forward.

“It definitely exists,” a female voice replied, “I learned this from the Sect Master of Black Wind Sect. Even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare lie to me. However, he only knows it’s on Netherworld Demon Island, not the exact location.”

Soon, Huang Xiaolong saw the other’s appearance. There were more than ten people, but noticing their brocade robes, he was surprised, Fanhe Divine Sect! The first sect of the Holy Land!

Huang Xiaolong wasn’t unfamiliar with Fanhe Divine Sect. When he attended the birthday celebration of Old Master Jiang Wuji, he met Fanhe Divine Sect’s Sect Master, Fan Fan, who was there for Jiang Wuji’s birthday.

The relationship between Fanhe Divine Sect and the Jiang Family was incredibly close.

At that moment, the disciples of Fanhe Divine Sect turned around and also saw Huang Xiaolong.

“Junior sister, should we capture this guy and ask him?” asked the male disciple from Fanhe Divine Sect who spoke earlier.

“Fine, his behavior is suspicious; maybe he’s also here for the Langya Tree,” the female nodded in agreement.
