Chapter 336: Present World

Mo Painting’s heart and mind trembled, finding it hard to believe.

Ancestor Qian... died just like that?!

Mo Painting had just said, "He who does many wrongs is sure to perish," doing so would incur retribution.

But this was just something he said casually.

He didn’t think that Ancestor Qian would actually suffer retribution, and the retribution came so quickly!

Mo Painting’s thoughts fluctuated, but the following events similarly shocked Mo Painting immensely.

After swallowing Ancestor Qian, the Pig Demon’s dead white eyes began to emit fresh red light.

The blood on its body began to flow again, its demon power began to condense again, and the blood marks on its body also gradually turned from dark red to bright red, even emitting a piercing red light.

Mo Painting’s pupils shook.

This Pig Demon, it is refining the medicinal power!

Not only refining the medicinal power of the Revitalizing and Transforming Yuan Pill, but also refining the blood essence of Ancestor Qian.

At the same time, a terrifying aura condensed on the Pig Demon’s body, making people tremble all over, and even suddenly giving the illusion of the Great Dao being in chaos and producing abnormal changes!

Mo Painting didn’t know what happened, but at this time, he had only one thought:

At the same time, that Pig Demon turned its head, its blood-colored eyes looking towards Mo Painting.

Mo Painting’s fine hairs stood on end, urging the Flowing Water Steps to the extreme, and madly ran towards the outside of the stone chamber.

After running only a few steps, Mo Painting discovered that there were people in front of him, Commander Yang and Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan and Commander Yang appeared at the entrance of the cave, saw Mo Painting’s pale face, and just wanted to say something, but were interrupted by Mo Painting in a panic.

"Run quickly!"

The two were stunned, not yet understanding what had happened, when they saw the end of the stone stairs, revealing a blood-colored, ferocious pig head.

The two were greatly shocked: "What kind of demon beast is this?"

The Pig Demon’s head was stuck at the entrance of the stone chamber, its blood-red pupils rolled irregularly, glancing sideways, seeing Mo Painting, it hissed, and then directly pounced over.

The stone walls on both sides, like tofu, were crushed to pieces by its huge body.

The Pig Demon looked clumsy, but its speed was extremely fast, and it was about to catch up in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lan and the two looked solemn and hurriedly protected Mo Painting behind them, wanting to block the Pig Demon for a while, so that Mo Painting could escape with his life.

But the Pig Demon’s aura was too terrifying, and the two had no confidence in their hearts, their palms sweating with cold.

Mo Painting was protected by them behind him, feeling both moved and anxious.

He knew that Commander Yang and the two were fundamentally no match for this evil, strange Pig Demon, and they couldn’t block it at all.

If they forcefully blocked it, at best they would be severely injured, and at worst, like Ancestor Qian, they would be eaten by the Pig Demon.

At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Mo Painting.

He suddenly remembered that there was still an array he had arranged on the ground.

When the Pig Demon rushed over, the array had not yet been activated.

Mo Painting urged his spiritual sense to the extreme, and in the messy stone chamber, he instantly completed the spiritual sense lock and found the Tier 1 Earth Fire Multiple Array he had set up.

In less than a breath, Mo Painting formed hand seals and condensed a fireball technique.

The fireball followed Mo Painting’s spiritual sense, suddenly flying out, drawing an arc, and accurately igniting the array.

There was an instant silence in the stone chamber, as if the sound had also dissolved.

At the same time, the Tier 1 Earth Fire Multiple Array began to collapse!

Zhang Lan and Commander Yang then saw an unbelievable scene.

They saw Mo Painting, with extremely fast speed, condense a fireball and activate the array in the corner.

But this array did not explode; its spiritual power began to reverse, gradually collapsing, producing intermittent black spiritual power.

These collapsed spiritual powers, like tiny pitch-black daggers, little by little, instantly like a thousand cuts and ten thousand scrapes, peeled away the Pig Demon’s flesh.

First the outer skin, then the flesh, and finally the bones, all were dissolved by the reversed spiritual power, turning into pitch-black powder.

When this array collapsed, it was located at the position of the Pig Demon's right hind leg. Therefore, in an instant, one of the Pig Demon's hind legs disappeared, as if the void had collapsed and wiped away this right leg.

The Pig Demon therefore lost its balance and fell to the ground, breaking its forward pouncing momentum.

However, in less than a moment, blood energy condensed again where the hind leg had disappeared.

First bones condensed, then flesh and blood vessels, and finally the outer skin.

As the power of collapse dissolved, the power of flesh regeneration occurred.

Commander Yang and the two were extremely shocked:

"What kind of array is this? And what are those fine fragmented virtual black spiritual powers? They can actually dissolve the flesh of a Tier 2 demon beast?!"

"And what kind of demon beast is this? Why is its flesh regeneration speed so fast?!"

Mo Painting saw the two of them still in a daze and couldn't help but grab their hands, giving each a forceful pat, and shouted:

"Run quickly!"

Although the Pig Demon's hind leg was extinguished by the reversed spiritual power and regenerated, its blood energy was not smooth for a while, and it was still struggling and couldn't get up.

If they didn't run at this time, it might be too late to run later.

Commander Yang and the two suddenly came back to their senses. This time, they urged their body techniques together and ran towards the outside of the cave.

After running for a while, the Pig Demon’s hissing roar came from behind again. It had already stood up.

The crowd’s hearts were shocked.

Commander Yang simply hugged Mo Painting with one hand, clamping him at his waist, and pulled Zhang Lan with the other, bringing him forward to run.

He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his body technique was much faster than Mo Painting and the two.

In a few breaths, several people ran to the outside of the mountain cave.

At this time, there were already people outside.

Elder Yu, Steward Zhou, and Old Master An were all there.

They followed the induction of the bell and came to the entrance of the cave. Before they could find the specific location, they heard the cave shaking and a hissing roar coming from inside.

They didn’t know what had happened and could only wait at the entrance of the cave first.

Steward Zhou saw the panicked expressions and pale faces of Mo Painting and the other two, and couldn’t help but frown and ask:

"What happened?"

Commander Yang was about to say something, but was grabbed by Mo Painting’s sleeve.

Mo Painting took a breath, said nothing else, and still only said: "Run quickly!"

Steward Zhou and the others looked at each other, "We several Foundation Establishment cultivators are all here, even if it’s Ancestor Qian, we still have the power to fight..."

Mo Painting shook his head, "Ancestor Qian was eaten. Not only do we need to run, but all the cultivators searching the mountain, all need to run out of the deep mountains!"

Mo Painting’s tone was filled with deep shock.

That pig was too terrifying.

The aura on its body felt both familiar and strange to Mo Painting.

Familiarity lay in that its aura was similar to the power of the collapsing array, both seeming to vaguely contain the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Strangeness lay in that this aura was completely opposite to the power of the collapsing array, more like endless regeneration power.

Mister Zhuang said that the Great Dao gives birth and death, and where there is birth, there is death.

If the collapse of the array was the power of dissolution and death, then this pig was the power of regeneration!

Towards death and rebirth, it had clearly died, yet it lived again.

Mo Painting felt cold in his heart. He didn’t know exactly where this pig was powerful, but the insight into the Great Dao he had gained from drawing arrays for a long time, and the nameless fear that surged from the bottom of his heart, told him that if they didn't run at this time, everyone would be buried in the mouth of this pig demon!

Upon hearing this, the crowd was also greatly shocked.

Ancestor Qian... was eaten?!

That old schemer, with profound cultivation, who could even retreat under the siege of several early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and soldiers of the Dao... was actually eaten by this pig?!

Steward Zhou said decisively without thinking, "Let's retreat!"

At this time, another loud noise came from the mountain cave.

It seemed that the pig was rushing left and right, smashing the stone walls, and the aura transmitted from the entrance of the cave was also becoming more and more bloody and terrifying.

The crowd no longer delayed and immediately retreated.

Commander Yang pulled Zhang Lan, and Elder Yu carried Mo Painting on his back.

Everyone retreated while approaching the camps along the way, letting everyone spread the word:

There has been a sudden change in the deep mountains, fearing a great disaster. All cultivators must immediately retreat!

In the late night, the quiet of the deep mountains was broken. After a moment of panic, the cultivators searching the mountain all orderly retreated from the deep mountains.

An hour later, including Mo Painting, all the cultivators gathered at the foot of the deep mountains.

This was the intersection of the deep mountains and the inner mountains. After walking a few steps, they would reach the inner mountains, which was relatively safer.

Elder Yu put Mo Painting down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, a sudden abnormal change arose in the deep mountains.

In the black night, a bloody aura rushed to the sky, the mountain peak collapsed, and a huge and bloody Pig Demon suddenly appeared. The terrifying hissing roar seemed to want to tear apart the black night.

Not only Mo Painting and others saw this scene.

At this moment, cultivators far away in Tongxian City all sensed it, all looked up, and then saw the bloody aura rushing to the sky.

That ferocious and murderous aura made all cultivators’ hearts and minds tremble.

Some old demon hunters were even more incredulous, trembling with shock and fear:

"This is... a great demon..."

Elder Yu, who was standing beside Mo Painting, saw the Pig Demon’s appearance at this time, felt this aura, and recalled the ancient rumors among demon hunters, instantly as if falling into an ice cellar, losing his voice and saying:

"A great demon is born..."

Elder Yu’s face was pale, "But this... how is this possible..."
