C437 Searching for a source of demonic energy

"As long as you are ready." The Horned Demon slightly nodded his head and said to Lin Tian: "The reason why this place is able to condense the black fog is because there is a very high possibility that this place has the aura of that monster …"

"Monster?" Lin Tian was a little dazed.

"That's right, the method the demon army used to invade the Sky Dragon Continent wasn't a direct attack …" Horned Demon slowly explained, "Firstly, they directly attacked, they were afraid that the Ancestral Dragon would still leave a backup plan. You have to know, the Devil Ancestor Erosion was inflicted by the Ancestral Dragon's backup, and it also injured its core, so the other demons naturally don't dare to send themselves to their deaths …"

"Of course, there is a second and more important reason. Actually, the Sky Dragon Continent has its own unique restriction. It is impossible for those devils to enter the Sky Dragon Continent without being detected." Hornless said again.

"Therefore, if we want to invade the Sky Dragon Continent, there is only one way for the demons to invade the human, demon, or barbarian race on the Sky Dragon Continent. Then, we can influence them and invade these humans, demons, and barbarians."

"So what you're saying is that the demonic energy in this forest might have come from something that was contaminated with demonic energy?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask.

"En, that should be the case. But I have a faint feeling that the monsters in here are definitely very powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be such a strong devil aura …" Hornless said indifferently.

"But, boy, you don't have to worry, you have the means of the dragon race, all these years, the dragon race and the devil race have started fighting each other, we already know it well, so the devil race has the means to restrain the dragon race, the dragon race is also like this …"

"All of your skills can restrain that demon …" Horned Demon encouraged Lin Tian.

"This matter should not be delayed. Let's go find the source of the demonic energy right now …" The Celestial Mouse's eyes were currently shining as he spoke to Lin Tian and Horned Demon.

Lin Tian glanced at the Celestial Mouse and asked in astonishment: "What? You can also deal with this demonic aura?"

"I can't …" The Celestial Mouse said without hesitation, "But I am excited! I heard so much from the dragon just now. I naturally want to see what kind of terrifying thing that monster is. I have no way to deal with it, but there is still you brat, isn't there?"

"..."

Lin Tian did not bicker with the Celestial Mouse. Instead, he followed the directions of the Horned Demon and continued to go deeper.

In this forest of black fog, there were almost no signs of life.

Aside from the endless fog, one could also occasionally see piles of bones scattered on the ground. It was likely that someone had mistakenly entered this place before. Those piles of bones were their final destination.

The demon aura became denser and denser, emitting an endless corrosive power. It was extremely terrifying.

In the beginning, the Celestial Mouse could still rely on his armor to block the terrifying energy, but now, he was completely unable to block the demonic energy.

At this time, it had already drilled into Lin Tian's arm, relying on Lin Tian's strength to resist the corrosion of the demonic qi.

Lin Tian also didn't feel too good. At this time he could only use all of his strength to resist the erosion of the demonic qi.

He was surrounded by a majestic bloody aura that was emitting golden rays of light. At a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, he was consuming the power of the demonic energy.

It was also because of this that Lin TianAo was convinced that the dragon blood in his body was enough to restrain the power of the demonic energy.

Time passed day by day, and one could barely see the edge of the black fog forest. There was nothing as long as the dense forest and the black fog were there.

At the end, Lin Tian simply stopped walking.

At this moment, the tenth day had already passed.

Lin Tian still hadn't found the demon qi source.

At this moment, Ling Wuji, who was standing outside the forest, finally felt a bit discouraged.

On the first day, the second day, or even the seventh and eighth day, Ling Wuji was able to completely persevere because he felt that Lin Tian's methods had detected that something was wrong and would immediately return.

But after ten days had passed, Lin Tian still had no intentions of walking out.

"Brat, hurry up and refine that Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit. It is not yet time to search for the demon energy source …" After sensing Lin Tian's current condition, the Horned Demon couldn't help but open his mouth to speak.

For ten consecutive days, Lin Tian was in a state of high vigilance.

After all, only the blood aura he emitted could help him resist the corrosion of the demon qi. Other than that, there was no other force that could resist it.

In these ten days, Lin Tian did not dare to relax even a bit. He completely understood if it was really the demons, how serious the consequences would be.

If the Blood Demon Sect was just a big threat to the Western Spirit Region, then the Demon race was a huge threat to the entire Sky Dragon Continent. If they couldn't handle it properly, the final result would be out of control.

Moreover, almost no one could stop the corrosion of this kind of demonic energy. If Lin Tian had the Ancestral Dragon inheritance and relied on his own strength, it would be completely impossible for him to block the corrosion of this demonic energy ….

If that happened, the demonic energy would quickly spread throughout the entire Western Spiritual Region and turn into the way it was now, not to mention the Lingxiao Sacred Sect.

Deathly air, nothingness …

These ten days, Lin Tian's consumption was extremely huge. Of course, it was also extremely beneficial for his own cultivation.

It was almost as if he was fighting and cultivating all the time.

However, his body had also reached a period of extreme exhaustion.

Thus, when Horned Demon said he wanted Lin Tian to cultivate on the spot, Lin Tian didn't hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged.

The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was a treasure used to purify geniuses' bloodlines. To be honest, Lin Tian really wanted to know, after refining the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit, to what extent would Lin Tian's strength increase … ….

It had to be known that Lin Tian only had a tenth of that Ancestral Dragon's blood essence when he had such a strong strength.

If he absorbed the remaining 90%, it was hard to imagine how strong Lin Tian would be. It was hard to imagine …

The Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit instantly dissolved in his mouth and turned into a pure medicinal power that quickly spread into Lin Tian's limbs and bones.

He could feel that every drop of blood essence in his body was being manipulated by the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit and was starting to emit a majestic blood aura.

And that was not enough. The huge effect of the medicine quickly spread out again. Lin Tian's blood gradually started to boil.

A single drop of blood seemed to be filled with immense killing intent and boundless power.

Lin Tian's whirlpool of Dantian currently continuously moved the medicinal strength in his body, quickly spreading it to every part of his body.

Lin Tian felt that every cell had been washed and purified.

At the same time, under the effects of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit's medicinal power, the impurities in Lin Tian's body and the impurities in his blood were all cleaned out one by one.

Lin Tian's entire body was currently emitting a fishy stench.

But in the end, it turned into vapour.

However, this time, he wasn't able to attract the whirlpool to his dantian again, allowing Lin Tian to absorb another sliver of the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence.

However, thinking about it made sense. After all, the strongest medicinal power of the Zhu Yan Spirit Fruit was to purify the bloodline and not to help Lin Tian cleanse his marrow.

However, the benefit of purifying the blood was also great.

Currently, the Stellar River within Lin Tian's body was solidifying. Streams of star power hung high in the sky, emitting dazzling starlight.

A small blood-red dragon was lying in the middle of the river of stars, and it was becoming more and more solid. The red color on its body was like that of blood; it was extremely terrifying.

More importantly, the little red dragon looked as if it could open its eyes at any time.

The river of stars in Lin Tian's body also started to expand. At the end, the enormous power of the river of stars actually started to continuously change.

"Fourth level of the Milky Way!"

"Fifth level of the Milky Way!"

"Sixth level of the Milky Way!"

"Nine Layers of the Milky Way!"

Lin Tian's body released crackling sounds like fried beans.

His strength had also increased explosively.

In the blink of an eye, he actually jumped from the 3rd level of the Astral Reaching Realm to the 9th level.

However, all of this was far from over …
