The Heavenly Demon!
No one knew where she came from, what she was, or why she had descended upon the Seas and Mountains.
Even if the Four Sacred Beasts of the Seas and Mountains worked together, they would not be able to destroy this indescribable terror from the Sea of Nine Underworlds, and could only seal her and the Nine-Headed Snakelet beneath the Green Hill Mountains.
Now, before Mei Xue was the Nine Underworlds Seed, the Heavenly Demon, who had walked out of the shell of the Nine Underworlds and appeared before him in its true form.
It had the same bewitching silhouette as the Heavenly Fox, but compared to her, the Heavenly Fox, one of the Twelve Earth Deities, was like a little fox that had yet to fully grow up. Their levels were not even on the same level.
Endless darkness was under her control, the Lord of Nightmares that devoured all things. This was the Heavenly Demon, an opponent that Mei Xue had to defeat.
The pitch-black eyes smiled as the Heavenly Fox danced on the Nine-Headed Dragon's massive body.
"Hidden in the abyss, the shadow of eternal slumber.
"Thy wings, cover the sun, burn the sky.
"Three lives in the body, the four corners of the world belong to thy shadow."
"Five poisons corrode the body, six eyes protect, despise all things!
"Seven Fangs Destroyer, eight sins as your body, forge the Body of the Nine Underworlds.
"Thy name — Nine-Headed Snakelet!"
Accompanied by the Heavenly Fox's graceful dance, the Nine-headed Dragon's gigantic body began its final struggle. Countless charred scales shattered one by one.
The wounds that were destroyed by the lightning of the Nine Underworlds Thunder Whip, pierced by the Divine Weapon of the White Tiger, and melted by the flames of the Great Sun Golden Crow were all reduced to ashes.
This was a metamorphosis, a process of evolving towards a higher level of life.
Even though it had clearly met its end, the Nine-Headed Dragon had completed a complete metamorphosis. Nine black nightmare tails extended from the Nine-Headed Dragon's broken body, connecting to the Heavenly Demon's body.
That bewitching dance was a trap that could even tempt immortals, a supreme divine ability that did not exist in the Seas and Mountains — the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's Dance.
In the hands of the Heavenly Demon, this supreme divine ability was even more powerful than the Heavenly Fox herself, possessing even more terrifying power.
As she danced, the entire Nightmare World evolved, and all the power of heaven and earth tilted towards the Nine-Headed Dragon.
Amidst the earth-shattering rumbles, black giants that were dozens of meters tall rose from the ground and hugged the Nine-Headed Dragon's broken body tightly.
Countless wisps of steam rose into the sky. These black giants had become nourishment for the Nine-Headed Dragon's awakening and evolution. After sacrificing their own lives, they had obtained the scales and flesh of the Nine-Headed Dragon's heart.
However, this was not enough.
The scales could be reconstructed, the flesh could be regenerated, but the nine heads of the Nine-headed Hydra could not be revived.
This was the terror of Mei Xue's Big Dipper Sword of the Four Symbols. The seven-star sword light that descended from the sky had already severed the life force of the nine heads of the Nine-headed Dragon.
"Hehe."
The Heavenly Demon lowered her head and looked at the pale-faced Mei Xue. Her slender fingers weaved countless mysterious seals, causing the lifeless Nine-headed Dragon to forcefully move.
Nine black nightmare tails covered the sky of the entire Nightmare World, blocking the annoying lightning outside, and turning the entire world into the Heavenly Demon's hunting ground.
To be able to resist the laws of heaven and earth in the Seas and Mountains alone, it was enough to prove how strong the Heavenly Demon was. Even though Mei Xue had severed the Nine-Headed Snakelet's nine heads due to a moment of carelessness, she still had countless trump cards that could turn the tables at any time.
This was the difference in strength. Compared to the great terror that came from the Nine Underworlds Ocean, the current Mei Xue was too immature.
If he still had a chance of winning against the Nine-headed Dragon Mei Xue, then the chance of winning against the current Heavenly Demon was almost zero.
"Become a part of me."
Taking mysterious steps, the Heavenly Demon's voice reverberated in Mei Xue's ears. It was a voice that could tempt immortals to fall, a voice that could tempt the gods and demons of the heavens.
"Crack!" This was the sound of the Four Divisions Tian Lun that Mei Xue had painstakingly constructed falling apart.
"Hiss!" This was the sound of the Qing Xu Dominator's blood being extinguished by Mei Xue, losing its color.
The Big Dipper, the 28 Lunar Mansions, all lost their color. The world of the Meng Hai Scripture was plunged into darkness. Only the sun that the Great Sun Golden Crow had transformed into was still holding on, still emitting light and heat.
The power of the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's Dance suppressed the Four Divisions Tian Lun, the Seven Star Big Dipper Sword, the Qing Xu Dominator's blood, the Golden Fur Nine-tailed Fox's bloodline power, and almost dragged the entire world of the Meng Hai Scripture into darkness.
Mei Xue did not move, as if she had forgotten that this was the final battle of life and death. She had forgotten that she was facing the world-destroying Nine Underworlds Seed.
She was looking up, looking at the scenery that no one else could see, and only she could see.
Under the guidance of the ancient song that sang the praises of the stars, Mei Xue's consciousness seemed to have passed through the river of time, following the trajectory of the stars, and arrived at the stage outside the Zhu Hai Mountain Range.
There, there, there, were shining stars.
There, there, there, was a dazzling galaxy.
Nine black nightmarish tails crisscrossed in the sky, and finally pierced into Mei Xue's body, devouring everything that belonged to her.
"I won't hold back anymore!"
The Heavenly Demon's bewitching face revealed a joyful expression. The Nine-headed Hydra's enormous body suddenly leaped out, pressing down on Mei Xue.
This was a sure-kill attack. Under the control of the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's Dance, Mei Xue had no way of dodging this attack.
The Heavenly Demon could even see Mei Xue's ending. First, she would be pierced by her nine nightmarish tails, and then her entire body would be crushed by the Nine-headed Hydra, devoured, and become a part of her flesh.
Ahahahahaha!
Her bewitching laughter echoed in the Nightmare World. This time, the Heavenly Demon was really happy, really happy.
"It's time!"
Just as the Heavenly Demon was getting carried away, a clap of thunder exploded in the sky. Then, countless amounts of blood poured down like a waterfall, opening up a huge hole in the sky of the Nightmare World.
Four enormous snake shadows slithered down from the sky, biting the Nine-headed Hydra's limbs one by one, tearing them apart in a frenzy, desperately stopping the Nine-headed Hydra from pouncing on Mei Xue.
That was the counterattack from the Qing Xu Ruler, a fatal blow to the Nine-headed Hydra.
"Nine Heavens Responding Thunder, Universal Heavenly Lord, Seal!"
Billions of lightning bolts descended, and the lightning technique that was not inferior to Mei Xue's Nine Serenities Divine Thunder Whip exploded on the Nine-headed Hydra's heavily injured body. That was a peerless celestial technique inherited from an immortal.
"Who is it!"
The Heavenly Demon, who was ambushed at the last moment, raised his head, and gritted his teeth as he looked at the attack from the Zhu Hai Mountain Range.
"Don't you dare snatch Mei Xue away, vixen!"
The fuming Little Xiang (Liu) wielded the Seal of the Four Phases. Her huge body was connected to the mysterious crack, allowing her to regain the domineering aura of the Qing Xu Ruler in a short period of time.
That was the reinforcement she found after escaping from this Nightmare Realm, and it was enough to fight against the Nine-headed Hydra.
"Heavenly Punishment!"
Qingbai formed a seal with both hands, and countless lightning beads surged around her. That was not the power of an immortal ring no matter how one looked at it. Dharmakaya and God's Decree were not enough to describe the billions of lightning bolts surging around her.
Clearly, she had also used her trump card.
At the critical moment when the Nine-Headed Snakelet was devouring Qingqiu Mountain, she was the one who took Liu away. After accumulating enough power, the two of them worked together to break through the outer shell of the Nightmare World, preventing the Heavenly Demon from dealing a fatal blow to Mei Xue.
"If that's the case, then I'll eat you all!" The Heavenly Demon's pitch-black pupils deepened.
The entire Nightmare World began to shrink. Endless darkness was being devoured by the Nine-headed Hydra's colossal body like flowing water, causing the Nine-headed Hydra, whose life force was constantly fading, to become even larger and more ferocious.
"Nine-Headed Hydra, you bastard, wake up!"
Little Xiang, who was biting down on the Nine-headed Hydra's limbs, bellowed in rage that reached the depths of the Nine-headed Hydra's sealed spirit.
There, a young girl with nine braids and her face buried deep in her knees suddenly shuddered, but she did not lift her head in the end. Instead, she curled her body even deeper, allowing the black runes on her body to spread without stopping.
"Bastard, didn't you promise to fight me for the position of Water God!?"
Looking at the figure she once chased, the immemorial wild beast that dominated the Qingqiu Mountain's Secret Realm with violence and heartlessness, now reduced to such a state, Little Xiang was absolutely furious.
Xiang Liu and the Nine-Headed Hydra were both descendants of the secret realm's ruler, the Water God's bloodline. In fact, the Nine-Headed Hydra had appeared even earlier than Xiang Liu. It was a Nine-headed Hydra that was adept at the power of water and fire, a powerful monster that had once made the young Little Xiang suffer greatly.
Back then, one of the reasons Little Xiang did not hesitate to suppress Liu's growth in order to become stronger was because of this ancient wild beast that was also a descendant of the Water God's bloodline.
Little Xiang did not expect that after disappearing for so many years, this ancient wild beast that could stop children from crying at night would become such a pitiful sacrifice.
"Get up, get up!"
"You're the Nine-Headed Hydra, a Nine-headed Hydra with five poisons and six eyes!"
"What's the point of being dominated by a mere Netherworld Seed? There should be a level of humiliation!"
Little Xiang opened her mouth in anger and bit off one of the Nine-Headed Hydra's legs, two legs, three legs, four legs.
"If you don't get up, I'll eat you!"
"Hehehehe, it's useless."
"This child, no matter if it's her body or heart, is already mine."
The Heavenly Demon shook her nine Nightmare Tails and pulled out two of them from Mei Xue's body. One pierced towards Innocence who was in the air, while the other pierced towards Little Xiang who was crazily biting the Nine-headed Hydra.
Innocence took a step forward and instantly teleported thousands of meters away. The elegance of shrinking the ground caused the Nightmare Tail that was sweeping across the sky to miss its target.
Little Xiang clenched her teeth and took the attack head-on. While enduring the invasion of the Nightmare Power, she began to bite the Nine-headed Hydra's enormous body even more crazily.
"Tsk tsk, why are you struggling so much? Isn't it good to become a part of me?" The Heavenly Demon smiled as she looked at the three people that she was controlling.
To her, no matter if it was Mei Xue who had just exploded with astonishing power, the giant snake with unlimited regeneration ability, or Innocence who could control the Heavenly Lightning, there was no difference.
This was because she was the Heavenly Demon, the ruler of the Netherworld Species, the ruler of the highest level of the Netherworld Species pyramid.
Even in the vast starry sky universe, there were very few Netherworld Species that had reached her level. Every single one of them was a true world-destroying monster.
When a Netherworld Species of this level appeared, it would definitely cause a change in the heavens and earth, shocking the entire starry sky universe.
Other than the seven Heaven Species that had transcended the laws of the world, a High Level Netherworld Species like her was the ruler of the Netherworld Species. If it wasn't for the Seas and Mountains World that was filled with countless mysterious charms, she wouldn't even be able to descend into this immature Great Thousand World.
However, this world was just so inconceivable. The charm contained within it was so great that even the high and mighty Heaven Species could not help but come to this world many times.
To the Netherworld Species that roamed the starry sky universe, this was like an amusement park filled with fantasies. From low to high, even High Level Netherworld Species like her would be tempted.
From this point of view, this world called the "Seas and Mountains World" was unique. It was even more mysterious than the stable Great Thousand World.
"Demoness, Mei Xue isn't yours."
Xiao Xiang opened the huge mouth of the Nine-headed Giant Snake. Countless bloody lights exploded and entered the Nine-headed Dragon's body.
Jiu Ying, if you don't get up, I'll whip you up!
"Nine Heavens Responding Thunder Heavenly Venerate, Brilliant Thunder Formation!"
Qingbai strolled in the sky as though she was taking a stroll. Lightning beads fell one after another. Thousands of lightning beads started to form an extremely complicated formation.
This wasn't a level that Qingbai could reach at the moment. Instead, it was the final life-saving technique that her teacher had left for her. It was an immortal technique used to suppress unparalleled demons.
"One after another. I'll just eat them all."
The Heavenly Demon felt that she was full of appetite. As expected of the legendary paradise of the Netherworld Species. There were so many delicious things to eat right after waking up.
It was too wonderful to be able to satisfy the appetite of a High Level Netherworld Species like her.
"Roar!" The Nine-headed Dragon that had lost all its heads started to move again.
In the depths of the Nine-headed Dragon's divine soul, the girl who was hugging her knees started to tremble. Then, she let out an earth-shattering wail.
That's right. Cry and scream. Then, tear everything apart and eat it!
The Heavenly Demon laughed sinisterly. Her pitch-black eyes reflected the frenzied posture of the girl.
Sh * t!
Xiao Xiang was instinctively shocked. Then, the flesh that she was biting suddenly expanded. The Nine-headed Dragon that was on the verge of death sped up the pace of its evolution amidst its sorrowful cries. It was evolving in an even more mysterious direction.
"Nine Heavens Responding Thunder Heavenly Venerate, pardon, Brilliant Thunder Break!"
The immortal technique formation that Qingbai had set up finally unleashed its true power. Bolts of lightning fell one after another, bombarding all the nodes in the Nightmare World.
That's right. What Qingbai wanted to destroy wasn't the Nine-headed Dragon from the start. She wanted to destroy the entire Nightmare World, the root of the Heavenly Demon's power.
"It's useless."
The Heavenly Demon pulled out a few more Nightmare Tails that were inserted into Mei Xue's body. One by one, she faced the lightning punishment that fell from the Nine Heavens.
This was the calmness of a powerhouse. No matter what tricks the opponent had, the Heavenly Demon could easily neutralize them.
Other than Mei Xue's unimaginable Big Dipper Sword of the Four Symbols, all other attacks were actually ineffective against the Heavenly Demon.
"Ga!"
The sound of bones shattering came from the Nine-headed Snake that Xiao Xiang had transformed into. The Nine-headed Dragon that was originally restrained had completely lost control.
"Boom!"
The gigantic body crashed into the sky in disbelief. It forcefully tore a hole in the immortal technique formation that Qingbai had set up. Then, its body that was hundreds of meters long fell toward where Mei Xue was with the force of Mount Tai.
"The game is over."
The Heavenly Demon, who had completed the task of warming up her body after waking up, stretched her body. To her, this was really an easy and simple game.
"Thank you," Mei Xue opened her blurry eyes and thanked the two people who had protected her in the end.
"What!" The Heavenly Demon looked at Mei Xue, who still had six Nightmare Tails on her body, in shock!
Wasn't he already eroded by her Nightmare Power? Wasn't his entire soul bound?!
Mei Xue looked at the Nine-headed Dragon that had become even larger. She looked at the Heavenly Demon standing on top of the Nine-headed Dragon's head.
In the world of the Meng Meng Classic of Mountains and Seas, billions of stars were spinning. They were the reflections of the Milky Way World. It was the biggest inheritance that the immortal had left for Mei Xue.
However, Mei Xue was still unable to use this inheritance. The most he could do now was to move these stars and set up a Star Chart.
However, just now, Mei Xue finally understood another way to use these stars.
Speaking of which, this was because of the Heavenly Demon. This was a variable that even Xuanwu's Heart could not predict.
"Come, you who are on the other side of the Milky Way, in the name of the stars!" Mei Xue lit up all the stars in one breath.
This time, he did not try to absorb them, nor did he try to set up a new Star Chart. Instead, he followed the spiritual light in his memory and turned all the stars into Dao Marks.
"Woo!"
Amidst a loud and sonorous cry, an incomparably huge figure responded to the call of the stars. It passed through the radiance of the stars and arrived.
That was the beloved child of the immortal. It was a Dream Seed that roamed the seven seas and traversed the world!
"Boom!"
From Mei Xue's shadow, an incomparably huge and free creature with a body of over ten thousand meters soared into the sky. Just its tail alone was dozens of times bigger than the Nine-Headed Dragon.
This was a Dream Creature that roamed the Milky Way World. This was a companion that traveled the Milky Way World with the immortal in the past. This was the most mystical life that Mei Xue had comprehended from the Immortal Fate.
It chased after the stars and roamed the various worlds. Its journey was an endless sea of stars.
"What!"
For the first time, the Heavenly Demon turned pale with fright. This was because this Dream Seed was a huge creature that was famous throughout the entire Milky Way Universe. Even an extremely high level Netherworld Seed like her would not dare to provoke this Dream Seed.
Legend had it that this huge white whale could even travel freely in the dreams of all intelligent creatures.
The distance of the Milky Way World was meaningless to this huge whale. It was a legend in the Milky Way Universe. Countless people had seen it, but it was a Dream Seed that left no traces behind.
It did not attack. In fact, it did not even have the intention to attack. After being tempted by Mei Xue's starlight, the huge white whale ate the starlight that Mei Xue obtained from the Immortal Fate in one gulp. Then, it smashed the Nine-Headed Snakelet's huge body with its tail. Together with the entire Nightmare World, it was exposed to the sunlight of the Myriad Seas Mountain Range.
After that, this huge fellow roamed the world for ninety thousand miles and disappeared into the sky of the Myriad Seas Mountain Range.
