Chapter 196: Chapter 145: Immortal Spirit Spring_2

"Sovereign, straight ahead for thirty thousand li, there is a treasured place where an Immortal Spirit Spring exists. Drinking from it grants an immortal body that cannot be killed by any means," Qing Shi pointed ahead and said."Oh? Immortal Spirit Spring?" Yang Ji's expression perked up.

"However, that Immoral Spirit Spring is guarded by a Scorpion King. That creature is formidable. Because it has drunk from the spring, and gained an immortal body, it fights invaders aiming for the spring in a battle style where it trades life for life. Very few beings dare raise its ire," Qing Shi said, indicating he had previously clashed with it.

"Really unkillable?" Buddha Child said in surprise.

"Its recovery is too swift. A grievous injury only takes three breaths to heal completely. Unless you can kill it in one hit, you simply cannot put it down. Moreover, its innate divine ability is terrifying; no creature dares to underestimate it. The time we three brothers sought to obtain a bit of the spirit spring, it gave us a sound beating," Qing Shi said with a sigh.

"Hmph! That's because it hasn't met us yet!" Buddha Child let out a strange laugh, instantly brimming with interest.

"Indeed, with Sovereign and Buddha Bro making a move, plus the three of us, I estimate that dead scorpion, no matter how capable, will struggle to withstand us," Qing Shi said with a smile, unable to contain his eagerness.

"Let's go meet it!" declared Yang Ji with a smile, attracted by the mere phrase "immortal" when it came to the Immortal Spirit Spring.

Without delay, the three Demon Kings led the way, and the group quietly flew there.

But before they reached their destination, Yang Ji picked up on powerful fluctuations of battle from ahead.

"Could it be that some force has found that spirit spring and is squaring off against the Scorpion King?" Buddha Child speculated.

"Enter my Mount Sea World," Yang Ji said, taking the three Demon Kings and Buddha Child into the Mount Sea World for the sake of stealth before flying towards their goal.

With a flash of golden light, they moved with godlike speed, and after a short while, Yang Ji arrived at the site of the battle.

He concealed himself within a clump of white clouds and looked down.

Beneath was verdant grass, brilliant flowers, lush and beautiful trees, and vines entwined in a breathtaking scene.

Underneath a Stone Mountain, there lay a stone bowl the size of a palm containing half a bowl of clear spring water, which, shockingly, accumulated from dew dripping down grooves from the stone cliff above.

This bowl of spring water looked quite ordinary, no different from common dew, but it emitted a unique, tempting fragrance.

"Is that the Immortal Spirit Spring? It looks so ordinary besides a bit of fragrance. Can drinking this really confer an immortal body?" Buddha Child looked doubtful as he spoke.

"This bowl of spirit spring is extraordinary!" Suddenly, Yang Ji's pupils contracted as he uttered these words. For within it, he saw the information display: [Diluted Ancient God Blood.]

"Ancient God Blood? No wonder it grants an immortal body upon consumption," Yang Ji was mentally shaken and quickly traced the grooves atop the stone cliff, not long after finding the information display for the [Heart of the Ancient God] within the stone above.

"A heart of an Ancient God hidden inside the stone?" Yang Ji was so startled that his breathing grew heavy.

Great fortune, an immense stroke of luck, to find a heart of an Ancient God within the stone cliff.

Merely drinking the diluted Ancient God Blood granted an immortal body; what if the Ancient God's heart were to be set within his own body? Could he truly achieve immortality?

Yang Ji didn't know the answer, but he was certain he must obtain that heart of the Ancient God.

The battle below was fierce, making it difficult for him to approach, so he had to look for the best opportunity.

The three-meter-tall Crystal Scorpion was quite extraordinary. It strangely had a human head, beautiful and enchanting, with power that was astonishing.

Without making a sound, it pierced two small holes in the body of the Quasi True Successor of the Nether Serpent Tribe, blood spraying out.

The Quasi True Successor from the Savage Beast Clan fared even worse, having an ear torn off and a palm pierced, turning black as ink, a sign of severe poison, swelling to the size of a thigh.

To poison a Quasi True Successor to such an extent indicated just how formidable the crystal scorpion's venom was.

Furthermore, the continuous screams of the Quasi True Successor from the Yaksha Clan could be heard as all six of his arms and heads were pierced, damaging not only his body but also his soul.

The strength of this Crystal Scorpion exceeded Yang Ji's expectations. Its attacks were invisible and intangible, its venom harming not just the body but also the soul, exceedingly extraordinary. It possessed the strength of a Quasi True Successor, no less formidable than the three of them.

And its battle style was incredibly fierce. Whenever the three approached its defined territory, the Crystal Scorpion would fight as if life were meaningless. Whoever dared step closer, it would pursue relentlessly in a battle to the death, a trade of life for life.

Although the three were Quasi True Successors, they each harbored their own thoughts and were unwilling to be the ones to step forward. Getting hurt was one thing, but it also gave an advantage to the others.

Therefore, their attacks were merely tentative and didn't indicate a desire to genuinely risk their lives against the Crystal Scorpion.

Even so, each of the three was seriously injured by the Crystal Scorpion, and their frustration was growing.

"We just wanted to see what this fragrant spring water actually is. It's like we're threatening this creature's life. Could it really be some extraordinary treasure?" the Quasi True Successor from the Savage Beast Clan said with a hint of vexation.

"Have you noticed? This creature's recovery ability is so strong. We wound it, and the wounds heal instantly. It's too peculiar," the Quasi True Successor from the Nether Serpent Tribe said gravely.

"This creature is like a powerful being from the Divinity Transformation Realm, possessing an immortal body, too eerie," the Quasi True Successor from the Yaksha Clan stated as he stood in the void, speaking solemnly.
