Chapter 137: An Accident, The Scarlet Chain Demon King’s Means

Almost instinctively, it sprayed out a stream of Innate Spiritual Fire.

This Innate Spiritual Fire contained the power of the Primordial and possessed terrifying might.

The origins of this fire demon were also extraordinary; it was formed from a cluster of Innate Spiritual Fire deep within a fire cavern, and it even cultivated a profound divine ability bestowed by Fei Lian.

A single strike of the Returning Wind and Reversing Fire Daoist Art filled the sky and earth, making it impossible for cultivators to open their eyes. Moreover, it carried the power of the Innate Spiritual Fire, enough to reduce people to ashes.

Lin Yuan didn’t mind. He casually reached out, and the raging wind and fire fell into his palm. The terrifying Innate Spiritual Fire became like a helpless lamb.

With a gentle clap of his hand, as if a massive Primordial World had appeared, it swallowed this Innate Fire Spirit. The power of annihilation surged forth, layer by layer, destroying the Innate Fire Spirit right on his palm.

Only the purest cluster of crimson spiritual fire remained.

“Good stuff!”

Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. This cluster of Innate Fire Spirit still carried a trace of the legacy of the World-Opening Fire.

This fire demon also had tremendous fortune. If allowed to grow, it would undoubtedly become an extremely powerful Innate Fire God. However, it had emerged to stir up trouble too early and fell into Lin Yuan’s hands.

Lin Yuan released the Merit Golden Lamp to devour this cluster of Innate Spiritual Fire. Then, he got up and hurried towards Jade Chain Mountain.

Jade Chain Mountain.

A vast and majestic spiritual mountain stood among the mountain ranges, its dense Innate Spiritual Qi astonishing.

Lin Yuan’s figure moved past a spiritual peak. He could sense that there were countless eyes watching every part of Jade Chain Mountain.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

It was clear that, although he had used rumors to counteract rumors and offset some of the influence, there were still some forces that preferred to believe the rumors were true rather than false.

If there was the slightest disturbance within Jade Chain Mountain, trouble would likely arise immediately.

“I must cut through the mess quickly and deal with the Scarlet Chain Demon King!”

Lin Yuan’s gaze swept around Jade Chain Mountain. At that moment, countless energy currents permeated the mountain, interweaving to form an extremely powerful Innate Five Elements Reversal and Confusion Array.

The killing intent contained within this formidable array blocked many greedy, covetous eyes from outside Jade Chain Mountain!

“Not a bad array.”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly but formed a hand seal for an earth-traveling technique, transforming and entering the earth.

He operated the power of his Innate Spiritual Root, merging with the earth like ordinary grass and trees. Countless dense energy currents appeared within his Innate Spiritual Awareness.

But for him, it was only a slight inconvenience.

His Primordial Spirit calculated briefly. Lin Yuan instantly transformed into a stream of light, passing through the changes of the various arrays’ energy currents as if entering an unguarded territory, easily penetrating deep into the demon’s cave.

For safety, Lin Yuan transformed the Inner Scene Earth Gate into an earthy yellow mysterious light that wrapped around his body.

On the mountain, Lin Yuan saw little demons patrolling everywhere. The Scarlet Chain Demon King had already become a startled bird. Lin Yuan was somewhat worried that the Scarlet Chain Demon King might act desperately.

Inside the cave dwelling, the Scarlet Chain Demon King had long sensed the situation outside Jade Chain Mountain. His expression was somewhat grim.

He didn’t know who was spreading rumors outside, claiming that Jade Chain Mountain housed an Innate Spiritual Treasure, which had attracted countless eyes.

Now, the Innate Spiritual Treasure hadn’t even emerged yet. Once it did, the trouble would undoubtedly be greater.

At this point, the Scarlet Chain Demon King was already inclined to offer the Innate Spiritual Treasure to the Heavenly Court. A treasure of this level was simply something a Demon King like him couldn’t protect.

Suddenly, the Scarlet Chain Demon King’s expression changed drastically. Countless scarlet demonic lights shifted in his hands, transforming into a red glow that filled the cave. Within it was a terrifying poison; the entire cave began to melt.

“So it’s a Scarlet Chain snake demon. You can’t escape!”

A jade-like palm appeared in mid-air. The Two-Polarity Primordial World manifested, easily drawing the overwhelming scarlet fire threads into that Primordial illusion.

“So what Fei Lian said was actually true!”

The Scarlet Chain Demon King now felt deep regret. Seeing the ethereal, cosmic-shifting power emanating from Lin Yuan,

it only fueled the viciousness in his heart. With a furious roar, a pillar of red light connecting heaven and earth appeared behind him. Within the red light, countless poisonous creatures emerged—centipedes, scorpions, spiders, venomous snakes… Vaguely, there seemed to be innumerable poisonous beings inside, making one’s scalp tingle. A faintly sweet, cloying colorful mist shook the power of the Great Dao, causing even Innate Magical Power to decay and wither.

That was a Dao attainment method cultivated by the Scarlet Chain Demon King.

The Radiant Cloud Crimson Glow Mystical Light.

In terms of insidious poison, it was unparalleled. Even a Celestial Divine Demon like Fei Lian had stumbled into this Mystical Light by accident.

Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

He faintly felt his Primordial Spirit becoming uncomfortable. The opponent’s Dao attainment method was too insidiously poisonous. Even the Merit Golden Lamp was struggling to resist it.

Lin Yuan had never encountered such a venomous method. It was a divine ability and mystical art not inferior to the Primordial Two-Polarity Annihilation Art!

What weighed even more heavily on Lin Yuan’s mind was that the opponent’s cultivation was above his own.

The Scarlet Chain Demon King was an experienced Demon King, and his realm was only a step away from the Celestial Human Realm!

Lin Yuan felt he had miscalculated somewhat.

Opening his palm, the Primordial World evolved from the Two-Polarity Annihilation Art slowly took on black and white hues, transforming into a thick, deep, and ancient Innate Yin-Yang Chaotic Hole Mystical Light that clashed forward.

As stated in the Suwen: Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang, “Yin and Yang are the Dao of heaven and earth, the guiding principles of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the mansion of spirit.”

The Radiant Cloud Crimson Glow Mystical Light was barely broken through.

Amidst his fear, the Scarlet Chain Demon King—likely due to being an experienced Demon King—flashed a ruthless glint in his eyes. Since he couldn’t obtain the Innate Spiritual Treasure inside the cave anyway, he might as well destroy the cave dwelling.

Alert the cultivators outside, and everyone would lose out!

Streaks of spiritual light shot out from his body—swords, banners, axes, pearls… Magical Artifacts soared into the sky, carrying an extremely violent aura.

These Magical Artifacts were about to explode!

Once they exploded, whether Lin Yuan could kill the Scarlet Chain Demon King or not, it would inevitably alert the cultivators outside and create complications.

“You little thief, if I can’t have it, you definitely won’t either!”

The Scarlet Chain Demon King laughed wildly, his face full of ferocity and mockery. He was prepared to rush out of the cave the moment it exploded.

Lin Yuan’s Primordial Spirit throbbed violently. Sensing the intensely violent Magical Artifacts and treasures, a dark glint flashed in his eyes. The might generated by so many self-destructing Magical Artifacts and treasures made Lin Yuan’s heart race wildly.

Relying on his Innate Divine Demon physique, he definitely wouldn’t die, but this favorable situation would go up in smoke.

With a wave of his hand, the Inner Scene Earth Gate appeared!

This earthy yellow gate seemed to merge with the entire cave and earth. Turbid yellow mystical light swept forth, and every shining spiritual-light treasure was frozen, suppressed in the void. Along with them, the Scarlet Chain Demon King was pinned in place, unable to move.

At that moment, Lin Yuan felt the vast magical power within his body rush into the Inner Scene Earth Gate like a long river. It was like a bottomless pit; in an instant, over half was consumed. If not for his Innate Divine Demon physique and his Innate Primordial Spirit quickly absorbing energy from the void to recover, he couldn’t have withstood such consumption.

A bloody sweetness surged in Lin Yuan’s mouth.

An unpleasant feeling welled up in his heart. In terms of treasures, he was no less equipped than the Scarlet Chain Demon King, but he didn’t dare to self-destruct them so recklessly!

This was a case of “those with nothing to lose fear nothing.”

A golden glint flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes. But now, he still had to finish the battle quickly to avoid further complications.

Today, even if it cost him some price, he must capture this demon.
