Mad God Evolution
Chapter 883 - 883 837

883: Chapter 837 883: Chapter 837 Lv Zhong was so excited because they had achieved a bountiful harvest this time.

Not only did they obtain the corpse of a Profound Immortal-level fierce beast, but they also acquired three additional [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords], making it a total of four [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords] for the team.

Moreover, they even obtained an original [Sharp Gold Law Pearl].

This was even more thrilling than monster-slaying and looting equipment.

“Haha, I knew Taoist Lv would triumph…”

“Yes, on Dragon Island, being able to annihilate a Sharp Gold Sky Tearing Divine Eagle of Profound Immortal level is beyond my imagination, admirable—”

“Now, I have a hundred percent confidence that we can all make it out alive from the Primordial Dragon Tomb in the end.”

“In such a short time, finding four [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords], I believe it’s not extravagant to think we could gather a full set of [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords]…”

…

After slaying the Thunderous Rhinoceros Beast, Lv Zhong once again killed the formidable Sharp Gold Sky Tearing Divine Eagle, to everyone’s delight and astonishment.

The delight arose from passing another challenge and being not too far off from the ultimate goal of leaving Dragon Island alive.

The astonishment came from the fact that Lv Zhong had dealt with another powerful beast comparable to a Profound Immortal.

For a moment, all the team members felt an incomprehensible depth to Lv Zhong’s strength.

Their looks towards Lv Zhong were filled with a mix of respect and admiration.

Under everyone’s complex gazes, Lv Zhong calmly approached Ba Tian Dragon and, with a smile, gave a cupped-fist salute, “Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your kind assistance.”

Ba Tian Dragon hastily shook its steel-armored head and laughed, “Taoist Lv flatters me.

I might not have had the strength to kill the Sharp Gold Sky Tearing Divine Eagle.

You managed to annihilate it, a testament to your own strength.

On the contrary, I should thank you for once again slaying a Profound Immortal-level beast, bringing stability and confidence to everyone that we can leave the Primordial Dragon Tomb alive.”

“Yes, Taoist Lv, with you here, we are confident we can find a set of [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords] from the Primordial Dragon Tomb and even more hopeful for greater treasures!” The Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds from the Netherworld also joined in, looking at Lv Zhong with admiration and excitement.

As for the others, they were brimming with surprise and joy.

“Alright, let’s keep the casual talk to a minimum; we are still in the perilous Dragon Island.

Let’s try to find more [Nine Dragon Immortal Swords] as quickly as possible.

We can engage in further discussions after everyone leaves the Primordial Dragon Tomb…” Mu Cangqiong stepped forward, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone before resting on Lv Zhong with an elegance compared to a lotus.

Lv Zhong, Ba Tian Dragon, and the Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds all gave a slight smile, nodding in agreement.

Afterward, with high morale, the group continued their journey, advancing deeper into Dragon Island.

It seemed that this vast area had been the territory of the previously slain Sharp Gold Sky Tearing Divine Eagle, deterring other large fierce beasts from hunting within its bounds.

This made their following path considerably safer and even more rewarding.

Countless exotic treasures brought smiles to their faces, and they even occasionally acquired top-notch cultivation methods and secret techniques.

As for all these treasures, cultivation methods, and pills that kept appearing, Lv Zhong collected very few.

First, having cultivated to this point, his state of mind had greatly strengthened, allowing him to view these magical treasures and oddities with detachment.

Second, Lv Zhong valued the training and evolution of the Insect Army under his command even more.

He clearly understood that the Insect Army could help him travel further on the path of cultivation.

Lately, he had been selectively collecting bodies of fierce beasts and treasures that could promote the swift evolution of the Insect Army.

Most importantly, Lv Zhong was highly confident about the upcoming journey.

He believed he could obtain even more and better treasures.

Time quietly slipped away amid the group’s vigilant and joyous treasure hunt.

Five days later, they entered into a mysterious environment.

A vast river millions of feet wide appeared in front of everyone, its waters dark as ink.

The entire river, standing as a barrier before them, emitted faint and peculiar watery vibes that spread throughout the vicinity.

Standing before this river wasn’t just Lv Zhong’s team.

Not far away, there were several other teams that had just arrived.

Compared to Lv Zhong’s team, though, these others were smaller in number, and every member seemed haggard and severely reduced by casualties.

…

Lv Zhong’s team, warily eyeing the other nearby teams and realizing their current condition, couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority.

Compared to the other teams, their own seemed much more impressive.

With respect and admiration, they glanced at their leader Lv Zhong and Mu Cangqiong, then turned their gazes away from the other teams.

Standing outside the ancient, dark river, their feelings of superiority faded, replaced by increased vigilance and gravity.

What river water, everyone present had seen rivers before, but the obsidian-like surface of this one made many unrecognizable, with their gazes filled with a mix of inquiry and realization.

Beneath that realization, though, lay deep apprehension and fear.

Although nobody had yet come into contact with the dark, ink-like river water, many had already gathered from the feedback of their immortal senses that this strange river was extraordinary.

Despite the fact that everyone’s Immortal Sense, Demon Sense, Demon Perception, and other spiritual energies were greatly suppressed by the mysterious laws of this space, they could more clearly feel that when their Immortal Sense or Demon Sense reached the river, an odd scene unfolded.

The majority discovered that their Immortal Sense or Demon Perception simply “glided” over the river upon initial contact, yet they experienced a formidable depletion or weakening of their spiritual energies.

“Is…

is there a mighty power that corrodes the Immortal Sense, Demon Sense, Demon Perception, and other spiritual energies?

This feeling…”

“Hiss, what a terrifying strange river, just a light touch reduced my Immortal Sense energy by a tenth.

Damn, what kind of strange river is this, so perilous…”

“No, why do I feel more and more that this water in the river looks very familiar…”

“Haha, there’s no mistake.

Everyone has forgotten about the ‘Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water’ previously revealed by Taoist Lv…”

“Right, the water here is indeed the scent of the raging black water released by Taoist Lv…

It is divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water…

It really is divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water…”

“Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water?

Damn, how are we all going to cross this river?

A distance of tens of millions of zhang would normally be nothing to me, but here on Dragon Island, I may not be able to jump such a distance in one go…”

“It’s actually this kind of strange water?

My God, it can not only dissolve Immortal Sense, Demon Sense, and other spiritual energies extremely quickly, but just a tiny droplet can easily corrode the body of a Golden Immortal.

And now there is a super-sized river’s reserve…”

“However, if there’s a river with ‘Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water’, how can the fierce beasts of Dragon Island cross it to reach deeper parts of the island…”

“Could there be another path that crosses this River of Drowning?”

…

Upon learning that the water in the river was Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water, everyone was shocked and wary beyond measure.

If there were people who did not know the power of “Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water” before, then after Lv Zhong had used “Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water” to repeatedly defeat his enemies, everyone present knew of its horror.

This was the abnormally evil water that could easily corrode the peak strength fleshly body swords of Golden Immortals and even Profound Immortals, not something anyone wanted to encounter in battle!

At the same time, many were overjoyed in their hearts!

Such evil water, though highly toxic, was an excellent weapon and secret treasure for fighting enemies.

If they could launch a surprise attack while their enemy was unaware, then the enemy might very likely suffer the most terrible attack.

As a result, countless people harbored the idea of collecting some Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water.

But when everyone pulled out their spatial magic items to collect some of the water, Lv Zhong hurriedly warned, “Everyone, best be careful and not think about collecting this divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water.

Unless you can withstand the excessive depletion of your Immortal Sense and also bear the loss of your space equipment, then don’t even think about it.

Not only will you end up with nothing, but you might also severely damage your Immortal Sense and even risk your space equipment, because unless you have Innate Spiritual Treasures level space equipment, it’s best not to entertain the thought of collecting ‘Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water’…”

No sooner had he spoken than all the members of Lv Zhong’s team, based on his continuous performance, immediately dispelled any alternative ideas they previously held.

However, hearing someone name “Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water,” people from other teams became ecstatic, not caring about Lv Zhong’s warning at all.

Moreover, in the eyes of the members of these other teams, Lv Zhong was still a mere mortal from one world.

Yet as soon as they began collecting “Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water,” they were horrified to discover:

Their Immortal Sense or Divine Sense was depleting at an extreme rate, and they found that even while they strained their spiritual energies to collect it, part of the Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water corroded most of the space equipment of the powerful individuals present, destroying countless years of collections in their space equipment to corrosion or nothingness within moments…

“Puff puff puff…”

Countless people spurted fresh blood, their spirits wan and exhausted.

Obviously, these individuals had failed to snatch the treasure and were instead bitten back by the Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water, losing even more than what they had sought – their venture had backfired spectacularly.

This part of the group that ignored Lv Zhong’s advice suffered a heavy blow, which only solidified Lv Zhong’s authority and credibility within his own team of about twenty people.

“Haha, they really didn’t heed Taoist Lv’s words, they took his kind intentions for granted…”

“Exactly, this is the price of greed…”

“Haha, I also wanted to collect some ‘Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water’, but after hearing Taoist Lv’s warning, I decisively stopped myself.

Haha, lucky!

Lucky to have narrowly escaped disaster…”

“Isn’t it, I also had such thoughts just now.

After all, the scene of Taoist Lv using ‘Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water’ to demonstrate such divine might is still deeply etched in my mind.

Encountering such rare and evil water, how could I not be tempted?

It’s just, Taoist Lv’s warning came just in time…” (To be continued.
