Smiling, Qingfeng Li explained, "I have destroyed the Forbidden Grounds of Headless Devilish Dao. I've also killed the Devilish Dao Saint. From this moment on, there will no longer be a Devilish Dao Saint on the Crimson Fire Continent."

Wutian Mo's jaws dropped so low that he could fit an egg in it. He was a ninth stage monarch realm master, and he was familiar with the powers of the Devilish Dao Saint.

Thinking back to his encounter with the Headless Demon Corpse, the latter was able to fix him to the ground with a mere glance, capturing him with a mere finger. How the h.e.l.l did Qingfeng Li kill such a monster? Just how strong was Qingfeng Li?

Wutian Mo poked out his tongue, his face pale. "Young Master, are you now a Saint?"

Qingfeng Li nodded as a reply. Wutian Mo chirped, "That's amazing! Young Master, you can now kill the Crimson Fire Monarch!"

Pa! Wutian Mo was slapped in the head by Black Puppy.

Confused, he turned and roared, "Stupid black puppy! Why did you slap my head?"

With a look of disdain in its eyes, Black Puppy said, "Are you stupid? Qingfeng Li killed the Crimson Fire Monarch eons ago. He's already the Planet Ruler. You were unconscious the whole entire time. You don't know anything."

Wutian Mo was stunned once again, this time even more shocked than the last. He had arrived on Mars long before Qingfeng Li; he was fully aware of the Crimson Fire Monarch's powers.

The Crimson Fire Monarch was definitely the Planet Ruler, dominant over the skies and the lands, unrivaled for more than 10,000 years. If Qingfeng Li managed to kill him, how strong was Qingfeng Li?

Smiling, Qingfeng Li said, "Wutian Mo, stop thinking so much. As long as you understand that both the Crimson Fire Monarch and the Devilish Dao Saint were no match for me, that's good enough. Alright, let's head back to the Lingyun."

With both Qingfeng Li and Wutian Mo restored back to their healthy selves, they left the cave with Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.

Reaching into his pocket, Qingfeng Li took out a flight Dharma treasure. He placed it on the ground, letting everyone get on.

He took the spirit stones from the interspatial ring and placed them around the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, transferring into the s.p.a.cecraft enough vital essence for it to zoom towards Lingyun.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows, his eyes icy.

Wutian Mo walked to Qingfeng Li, asking, "Young Master, did something happen?"

Qingfeng Li nodded and said, "Even though I just killed the Headless Demon Corpse, some idiots are still heading towards Lingyun. They're looking to die."

Back at Lingyun Country, an ominous atmosphere emerged in the air; the entire sky was covered with a green evil energy.

The evil energy was laced with poisonous gas, sending the self-cultivators who had breathed it in into deep unconsciousness. Some stronger self-cultivators managed to stay awake but found their vital essence unusable.

In the palace, Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, Ruyan Liu, the Emperor and Empress of Lingyun gathered, watching the green fog hovering atop the palace, their eyes full of worry.

The Emperor of Lingyun was the first to speak. "Madam Planet Ruler, this is bad. The green fog is from the Forbidden Grounds of the Nine-headed Demonic Dao. It is one of the three major forbidden lands of the Crimson Fire Continent."

Furrowing her brows, Xue Lin said, "My husband is currently at the Forbidden Grounds of the Headless Devilish Dao. Are the Demonic Dao monsters in cahoots with the Devilish Dao? Are they attacking while my husband is away?"

Ruyan Liu shook her head and said, "I don't think that's the case. Although both the Nine-Headed Demonic Dao and the Headless Devilish Dao were part of the three big forbidden grounds, they weren't on friendly terms with each other. I'm afraid that they were attracted here by your bloodline."

Xue Lin glared at Ruyan Liu and snapped, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I lured them here?!"

Ruyan Liu pursed her lips and said, "Xue Lin, you've got to admit that it's the truth. Have you forgotten that your bloodline is of the G.o.dly beast kind? They are the ancestors of demonic beasts and your blood is the essence for these beasts to improve. It's natural for them to sniff out your blood and follow you here."

As Ruyan Liu's voice abated, a chilling voice sounded from the green smoke atop their heads, "This beauty is correct. I've sensed the G.o.dly beast bloodline within your body. It is vital to our kind as it allows us to evolve. I will spare Lingyun as long as you come with me or give me your blood."

The bone-chilling voice sounded from the skies above, daunting as could be.

With a sneer, Xue Lin said, "What the h.e.l.l are you? Coward, come out if you dare."

Splash, splash...

The green smoke in the sky acc.u.mulated continuously, ultimately forming a gigantic worm.

The worm had three heads, all horrendous as could be. They all had green teeth and green mouths.

Its body was also green, entirely covered by green hair. It was also ma.s.sive, reaching a length of a few thousand meters, surging with demonic energies, ferocious as could be.

At the sight of the demonic worm, Mengyao Xu furrowed her brows and said, "I've seen this in an ancient book before. This is a Three-Headed Demonic Worm, the son of the Nine-headed Demonic Worm. If I'm not wrong, this worm is the young lord of the Forbidden Ground of Nine-headed Demonic Dao."

"Hahahaha, this beauty is absolutely right. How clever of you! I am the young lord of the Forbidden Grounds of Nine-headed Demonic Dao. I have already reached the half-step saint realm. I advise that you come with me. Otherwise, not only will I kill everyone in Lingyun, I will kill all of you as well." The Three-headed Demonic Worm threatened.

As it spoke, green smoke exuded from its mouth. The green smoke was poisonous but was blocked by a protective array formation previously placed by the old Lingyun Emperor.

The Three-headed Demonic Worm said, "Haha, you think that you can stop me with a mere array formation? Watch as I destroy it."

Opening its mouth, the Three-headed Demonic Worm shot out a ray of green light. Traveling at lightning speed, the green light reached the defensive light veil atop the Lingyun Palace, shattering it instantly.

Immediately, the entire palace was wrapped in a green demonic atmosphere. Some eunuchs and palace servants took one whiff of the green demonic air and screamed out in agony, their bodies later quickly decaying away.
