Chapter 1248: Corpse-Devouring Viscous Worms
e blood. As for elixirs refined by Alchemy Masters, I can mostly refine them as well, although the success rate may vary slightly. To those Yuan Ying Daoists present, if you are able to provide these...And this grayish-brown apparition was still mobile because Lu Xia Tian had walked for several days within the formation, and he was still in this vast graveyard. In fact, Lu Xia Tian had covered some distance, but the tombstones, unbeknownst to him, were also moving. Moreover, within this sprawling graveyard, the air was too chaotic. Even a remote cultivator who maintained a highly focused state for an extended period would inevitably slacken, making it easy to lose one's bearings.
Too many resentful souls lingered beneath the earth. Even with Lu Xiaoteng's powerful primordial spirit, his divine consciousness couldn't perceive anything unusual when he entered the underworld before. If it weren't for Ziye Zhenwu's help, Lu Xiaoteng would probably still be in the dark. The mastermind behind this was indeed cunning. A hint of coldness appeared on Lu Xiaoteng's face. A pair of pale red wings flashed behind him, the Bat King's Wings materialized, and with a gentle flap, he soared over countless tombstones. He flew directly towards one direction.
With a deafening boom, the ground trembled as a violent explosion ripped through dozens of graves, scattering debris and unleashing countless restless spirits. Several figures shot out from the chaos—two tenth-tier and one eleventh-tier Soul-Devouring Demon Spiders relentlessly attacking the Yin Yang Limping Monster, their battle raging from beneath the earth to the sky above.
The Yin-Yang Crippled Monster saw Lu Xia Tian's face light up with joy, "Friend Daoist, help me!"
Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly, "Alright, these demonic beasts had bothered me once before, this is a good opportunity to settle the score."
Lu Xiaotian's words hadn't left his mouth before he raised his hand. Several Town Demon Towers flew out one after another, heading towards the weakest of the ten-tier soul-chilling demon spiders. "You pick soft persimmons to squeeze," Lu Xiaotian said. While he was helping Yin Yang Limping Monster, he wasn't selfless enough to take on the biggest pressure for him. “Fellow Daoist, hold on for a moment. Once I deal with this beast, we’ll team up to handle the other two.”
Even a fearsome tenth-order Soul Sting Demon Spider wouldn't stand a chance against Lu XiaTian. With several Demonic Suppression Towers pressing down, the ferociousness of the tenth-order Soul Sting Demon Spider faltered, its eyes wide with alarm as it stared at the three Demonic Suppression Towers above its head. It opened its maw, unleashing numerous strands of silk like arrows, aimed at the Demonic Suppression Towers.

The Demon Suppressing Tower flickered with light, each tower radiating a unique aura. The tri-colored light intertwined with the chilling threads, which dissolved at a visible speed. The Demon Suppressing Tower's descent intensified.
The Soul-Sticking Demon Spider's black qi surged violently, and several headless ghosts turned into a demonic wind, each dashing towards the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
Held back by the headless ghost, the Demon Subduing Tower's descent slowed slightly, but despite the reduced speed, its downward trajectory remained steady and resolute. The three headless ghosts that had wrapped around the tower shrieked incessantly, their black qi gradually dissipating, yet they were powerless to harm the tower in the slightest.
“Ugh!” Perhaps sensing the danger of their ancestral spirit, a large number of Jindan-level, and even Soul Devouring Spider demons whose strength was only equivalent to the Qi Refining stage, surged out from the big hole that had exploded below.
As expected of a demon clan, they don't care about the death of their descendants at all. However, this Soul-Stinging Demon Spider wants to give birth to offspring, which is relatively easier than for humans. They also don't mind the cost it takes.
“Our level of fighting, these ants dare to interfere. Die.” Lu Xia Tian let out a light rebuke, the Fan Luo Spiritual Fire surging from within the three Zhen Yao Towers. The low-level Hun Zhe Demon Spiders were burned to ashes in swathes, but they couldn't even come close to harming the Zhen Yao Towers, let alone breaking through the encirclement of these ten-tier Hun Zhe Demon Spiders.
At this moment, another strand of silk far thicker than before shot out, piercing through the flames of Fan Luo's spiritual fire and encircling the body of this tenth-grade kin. With a tug, it pulled it out of the range covered by the three Suppression Demon Towers.
"Comrades, it's still important to find the Green-Eyed Demon. Even if we manage to defeat these demonic beasts, it will take a toll on our strength. If our magic power is depleted too much, it won't benefit us in any way." The Yin-Yang Limping Monster saw that the Soul Stinging Spider he had blocked had actually bypassed his barrier, rescuing its kin from under Lu Xiaoteng's Demon Subduing Tower. His face flushed slightly as he glanced at Lu Xiaoteng awkwardly.
“Very well, then let’s go find the Green-Eyed Monster.” Lu Xia Tian nodded and did not blame Yin Yang Limping Demon for his words.
The spider swarm was also quite wary of Lu Xiaotian and Yin Yang Limping Demon. Seeing the two retreat from the battle circle, they did not pursue them, allowing the two to leave.
"Comrades, what discoveries have you made in this ancient tomb" The two weren't heading towards a specific goal, just moving in one direction. When they had a moment to spare, Lu Xiaoteng asked.
"To be honest with you, I've been wandering around in this maze-like formation for so long that I haven't found the exit. Instead, I've been entangled by these soul-stinging spider demons. If it weren't for your arrival, I would have been in a tough fight. I was too preoccupied to notice anything useful." The Yin Yang Limping Demon shook his head.

“In this vast ancient tomb, it’s easy to lose your way. Where do we even begin looking for the Green-Eyed Demon” After flying for several hours, they finally escaped that endless expanse of graves. Lu Xia Tian let out a slight sigh of relief. Though he wasn't afraid of the changes within the graveyard, gazing at that dense sea of tombs did make him feel a little uneasy.
"This graveyard appeared strangely. As for the whereabouts of the Green-Eyed Monster, I'm unaware. Finding him wouldn't be difficult, but the Green-Eyed Monster loves to travel and may not be willing to act with the two of us. Besides, your friend is exceptionally skilled. The two of us joining forces means few demons or ghosts could threaten us." Yin Yang Lame Demon said.
“Forget about that for now, let's find the Green-Eyed Monster first. One more person means one more source of strength.” Lu Xiaoteng looked at the Yin-Yang Lame Demon in surprise, “It seems like Daoist friend doesn't seem to like traveling with the Green-Eyed Monster”
"It's nothing, really. I just can't stand the green-eyed monster's penchant for devouring corpses. If we were ever in a bind, the green-eyed monster would be a feast. Do you enjoy his company, friend" The Yin Yang Lame Monster chuckled, "But since you insist on bringing the green-eyed monster along, let's find him first."
“This creature with green eyes delights in consuming corpse qi and is skilled in the art of Corpse Escape. It thrives in this ancient tomb, but its fondness for corpse qi also makes it relatively easy to find.”
The Yin-Yang Limping Demon, while speaking, took out a thick bamboo tube, thicker than a wrist. One end of the bamboo tube was plugged with a wooden stopper, on which there were several special array patterns, not as simple as an ordinary wooden stopper.
The Yin-Yang Lame Monster opened the stopper, and a creature with wings on its back and eight legs under it flew out. Its body was gray and green, and it reeked of a thick stench of death.
"Fūshī èxiān chóng." Lü Xiaotían looked at this demonic insect with unusually strong corpse qi, a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes. This Fūshī èxiān chóng specialized in absorbing corpse poison, and the older it was, the more intense its corpse poison became. Even an ordinary Corpse King's corpse poison couldn't compare to that of this Fūshī èxiān chóng. The one before him had over seventy green stripes on his body, approaching the number ninety-nine, its toxicity was so high that even a great cultivator probably wouldn't dare to try it lightly.
