CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 344 TEN THOUSAND DEMON LIST! [REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKETS!]

"Everyone is out."

"No one is left on the mountain."

Chen Jichuan concealed his breath and traces, quickly arriving in Qilin Mountain.

Xiao Lan and the Ten Star Lords broke through the formation, guided by Chen Jichuan to see through the formation’s weaknesses, startling Mo Yanzhen and the Divinity Transformation experts of the Immortal Vine Clan into an all-out mobilization to resist.

Thus, the mountain was left unguarded, and at this moment, they likely couldn’t afford to worry too much.

"However, it’s not completely undefended."

Chen Jichuan made his way directly up the mountain, arriving outside a cave dwelling at the summit, where he saw Divine Sand enshrouding the area, sealing the cave dwelling in all directions.

Amidst the Divine Sand, waves of flames emitted a sinister and toxic aura.

Chen Jichuan eyed it closely—

[Magical Treasure: Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand]

[Level: Fourth-order]

[Description: Refined by generations of Immortal Vine Clan experts over 920,000 years, gathering toxic fires from the starry sky. Once it touches someone, their Daoist attainments are instantly obliterated, and they dissolve into blood and perish.]

...

"What a vicious magical treasure!"

Chen Jichuan saw the ’Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand’ encircling the cave dwelling and immediately deduced it to be Mo Yanzhen’s handiwork.

With such a sinister magical treasure guarding the place, even as a Ten Tribulations Independent Immortal, unless possessing an effective countermeasure, there’s no hope of breaching it quickly.

A moment’s delay—

Mo Yanzhen could return to defend.

Coincidentally, Chen Jichuan had just the skill to counter it.

Yet—

Before Chen Jichuan could act, a strand of hair wrapped around his fingertip floated down, transforming into the image of East River Fairy.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for leading the way!"

As soon as she landed, she expressed her gratitude to Chen Jichuan.

"You’re too kind, Fairy."

Chen Jichuan responded with a smile.

When the hair strand wrapped around him earlier, he had already discerned its origin. He understood Xiao Lan’s cautious nature—how could she let him come alone to Qilin Mountain to take the ’Qilin Immortal Bone’?

For Xiao Lan, this matter concerned her future and was approached with utmost caution.

At this moment, she didn’t care how Chen Jichuan felt about her intrusion, but instead, looked up at the Divine Sand blocking the cave dwelling.

"Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand?"

Xiao Lan immediately recognized the treasure and reached out, summoning a scroll into her hand. As she unfolded it, a robust and rugged man emerged.

This man wore a golden hoop on his head, dressed in a monk’s garb.

[Magical Treasure: Ten Thousand Demon List]

[Level: Fourth-order]

[Description: A magical artifact used to imprison the Demon Race. It contains three layers: the first layer confines Second-order demons, limited to 1,000; the Second Layer confines Third-order demons, limited to 100; and the Third Layer confines Fourth-order demons, limited to 10. Current state: Second Layer 520/1000; Third Layer: 82/100; Fourth Layer: 0/0;]

...

Name: Barbarian Monk

True Form: Wooden Fish

Cultivation: Divinity Transformation·Divine Transformation

...

"Ten Thousand Demon List!"

"Barbarian Monk!"

Chen Jichuan’s gaze shifted and his expression showed subtle surprise: "It can imprison and enslave Divinity Transformation demons, even Fourth-order demons?!"

His eyes burned with envy.

Xiao Lan’s fortune was undeniably remarkable; years ago, she had obtained a Fourth-order Formation Flag at the Sumeru Immortal Sect. Over the years, her skills and luck had likely netted her countless other Fourth-order magical treasures.

Now, the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ in her hands was an extraordinary treasure.

With such a scroll in possession, controlling a hundred Third-order Divinity Transformation demons was achievable given Xiao Lan’s capabilities.

A hundred Heavenly Human Realm or Primordial Unity Realm beings was nothing.

But a hundred Divine Transformation Realm experts?

"What a treasure!"

Chen Jichuan silently praised.

Meanwhile—

Xiao Lan acted swiftly. She summoned the ’Barbarian Monk’ and instructed, "Break it open!"

The Barbarian Monk did not respond.

He stepped forward, sat cross-legged, and unexpectedly pulled out a wooden fish.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of the wooden fish resonated.

Instantly, the ’Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand’ stirred and parted, creating a path through it.

"Go!"

"Let’s move!"

Xiao Lan dragged Chen Jichuan along, leaping through the narrow passageway.

As soon as they entered—

The Divine Sand surged back, and toxic fire erupted, striking the ’Barbarian Monk’ head-on.

"Ah—"

Chen Jichuan heard a single agonizing scream before the events outside became unknown.

The Barbarian Monk, having been struck by the Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand, could only meet a tragic fate.

"Divinity Transformation is abundant."

"Expendable."

Seeing Xiao Lan’s expression devoid of change, Chen Jichuan grasped her mindset.

Indeed—

She had already reached the Fourth-order. Soon, she would ascend to the Upper Realm, where the Third-order beings in the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ would lose much of their usefulness.

Why not use them to swiftly break through barriers and seize treasures?

The death of Divinity Transformation entities could be remedied in the future with new captures.

Xiao Lan displayed a clear view of trade-offs and outcomes.

...

"Fellow Daoist, guide us further!"

Inside the cave dwelling, despite being enveloped by formations, Xiao Lan couldn’t differentiate directions and turned to Chen Jichuan for assistance.

"This way!"

Chen Jichuan dutifully acted as a "navigation device," leading Xiao Lan deeper into the cave dwelling.

Obstacles cropped up intermittently.

Xiao Lan consistently summoned Divinity Transformation demons from the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ to forcefully clear the way.

Afterwards—

These Divinity Transformation demons ended up either severely injured or killed, resulting in substantial losses.

Xiao Lan cared little, focusing solely on breaking through.

"The Immortal Vine Clan’s Divinity Transformation experts are numerous and powerful. Xiao Lan invited only the Ten Star Lords for assistance; I thought her confidence came from unmatched skills—now it’s clear her true reliance lies in the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’!"

Chen Jichuan watched as one Divinity Transformation demon after another fell, marveling inwardly.

With ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ in hand, Xiao Lan could likely break through Qilin Mountain alone. Nevertheless, she chose caution, enlisting the Ten Star Lords and Chen Jichuan for a foolproof operation.

A testament to her far-reaching calculations.

As he led the way—

His thoughts kept wandering.

Meanwhile, outside Qilin Mountain—

"How dare you!"

When the Barbarian Monk stirred the ’Dutian Poison Fire Divine Sand,’ Mo Yanzhen, in battle with East River Fairy, sensed the disturbance.

Fury erupted in his heart.

He whipped his head around and roared toward Qilin Mountain.

The roar reverberated, reaching deep into the cave dwelling.

"Beast God Seven Kills—Beast God Roar!"

Chen Jichuan’s spirit trembled, and he quickly activated the ’Inverted Eight Gates Immortal Suppression Formation,’ shielding himself entirely.

"Good~"

"Dare~"

"How bold~"

Mo Yanzhen’s voice rolled like thunder, barreling into the cave dwelling.

"Old Dog Mo, your opponent is me!"

Midway, East River Fairy intercepted part of the momentum. Yet remnants of the attack burrowed into the cave dwelling, where one of Xiao Lan’s summoned Divinity Transformation demons went forth to block—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crushing impact!

This demon exhausted all its methods but was still fatally struck. Its magical treasures shattered, and its blood spilled.

"Keep going!"

Xiao Lan waved the injured demon back into the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ and spoke to Chen Jichuan.

"Understood!"

Chen Jichuan resumed leading the way.

The pair moved swiftly, extending their Divine Senses to search for the ’Qilin Immortal Bone’ and ’Qilin Treasure Medicine.’

The cave dwelling was vast and deep.

Its interior seemed to be an independent world.

Chen Jichuan ventured with his Divine Sense, calculating and searching continuously.

"You dare seek death!"

"Come out!"

"East River!"

Outside the cave dwelling, Mo Yanzhen’s rages echoed ceaselessly.

Inside—

Formations roared.

Mo Yanzhen’s wrath combined with attacks from twenty-four other Divinity Transformation experts utilizing the ’Beast God Roar.’ Equipped with the ’Twenty-four Flower Evil God Gang Immortal Formation,’ they maximized the attack’s power.

It was an indiscriminate barrage.

The resounding blasts filled the cave dwelling, leaving Chen Jichuan and Xiao Lan no options but to rely on the old demons from ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ for interception.

Eighty-two Divinity Transformation demons—

A staggering thirty-two were killed or injured clearing their path or repelling Mo Yanzhen’s onslaught.

The ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ clearly couldn’t hold out much longer.

As for Xiao Lan—

This was only a mere avatar of hers, possessing limited cultivation, barely reaching the Fourth Realm. In terms of combat strength, she was weaker than Chen Jichuan at this moment.

Not a dependable force.

"When the Divinity Transformation demons in the ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ are depleted, I’ll be exposed to real danger!"

Time was running out.

"Hurry!"

"Faster!"

Chen Jichuan spread his Divine Sense and calculated relentlessly.

Finally—

As the seventy-seventh Divinity Transformation demon from ’Ten Thousand Demon List’ exploded, he found a lead.

"Ah!"

His Divine Sense recoiled painfully, forcing him to inhale sharply and pull back.

Though wounded, he reacted with joy, eyes lighting up as he gazed into a section of the cave dwelling: "Qilin Immortal Bone!"

He turned and darted straight for it.

"You found it?"

Xiao Lan’s expression brightened with relief.

Without hesitation, she summoned the remaining five demons from ’Ten Thousand Demon List,’ positioning them around her as they hurriedly followed Chen Jichuan.

Soon—

Before them appeared a radiant source: Immortal Light shone brightly, illuminating two spiritual mushrooms—equine yet not equine—growing in the midst, emitting an enchanting fragrance.

Merely one sniff brought serenity to the soul.

"Qilin Immortal Bone!"

"This is the ’Qilin Immortal Bone’!"

Xiao Lan’s bloodline surged with excitement, revealing an uncharacteristic thrill in her expression.

She didn’t wait for Chen Jichuan to speak, commanding two of the five summoned demons to approach the Immortal Light from either side to retrieve the treasure.

"Qilin Immortal Bone!"

"Qilin Treasure Medicine!"

Chen Jichuan fixed his gaze on the source of Immortal Light, his heart pounding.

His mind stirred—

He also prepared to advance.

Yet, the two Divinity Transformation demons with Seven Transformation-level cultivation reached the radiance slightly ahead of him.

As Chen Jichuan eyed the ’Qilin Immortal Bone,’—

"Ah!"

A sharp pain seared his eyes, as if engulfed in flames.

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, both eyes ruptured, leaving ghastly pits of blood where his eyeballs once were.

His body froze in response.

Meanwhile, the two Divinity Transformation demons touched the Immortal Light. But in that fleeting moment, their bodies seemed to plunge into a star’s core, like encountering Divine Fire from the sun—

Boom!

A deafening eruption consumed them.

Their flesh and Primordial Spirits dissolved instantaneously, leaving no trace.

"What—"

Chen Jichuan froze, retreating hastily.

As he moved back, he swallowed a handful of pills and activated the ’Life and Death Seal,’ restoring his vision.

Surveying the ’Qilin Immortal Bone’ again, he carried a mix of caution and wonder.

"Impressive!"

"What a treasure!"

"It’s undoubtedly the ’Qilin Immortal Bone’!"

Chen Jichuan’s eyes shimmered as he studied the Immortal Light.

"Qilin Immortal Bone!"

Xiao Lan was equally captivated, her gaze alight with greed.

Yet—

The destruction of two Seven Transformation-level Divinity Transformation demons at the mere approach of Immortal Light was terrifying.

"How do we retrieve it?"

Chen Jichuan clenched his jaw, Xiao Lan furrowing her brows simultaneously.

Back inside the cave dwelling—

"Die!"

"Kill!"

"Roar!"

The Beast God Roar intensified, targeting Chen Jichuan and Xiao Lan relentlessly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another Divinity Transformation demon succumbed to the assault, its Primordial Spirit obliterated.

"I can’t wait anymore!"

Xiao Lan steeled herself, ordering the last two Divinity Transformation demons to attempt retrieval—one striking from the front, the other supporting from behind.

She utilized her magical treasure from a distance to contain the Immortal Bone.

However, when the magical treasure neared, its Primordial Spirit Seal was burnt by Immortal Light, making it uncontrollable.

Clang! Clang!

The treasure fell to the ground.
