Chapter 1177

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, on the single horn of the second enraged silver-horned lightning python, a pitch-black lightning ball of light actually emerged. With a flick of the python’s head, the black lightning ball shot straight towards those two martial artists, its speed extremely fast.

One of them changed his complexion drastically and hurriedly dodged, while the other one seemed to have placed most of his attention on Yang Kai who was about to escape, and actually failed to avoid this lightning ball for a moment, and was immediately enveloped by it.

The crackling electric sparks flickered randomly, and this martial artist’s whole body convulsed, and all of his hair stood on end. In a panic, he hurriedly circulated his Saint Yuan to resist the current that invaded his body.

But a huge whip shadow came towards him head-on, which made his soul fly away in fear.

Being enveloped by the current, his body was temporarily paralyzed and he simply couldn’t make an effective dodge. He was directly hit by that whip shadow on his body and flew backwards dozens of zhang.

The sound of bones breaking densely rang out. A large area of this martial artist’s body caved in, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth. A strange blush appeared on his face. Only now did he clearly see that what attacked him was not a whip shadow at all, but clearly the tail of the Silver Horned Lightning Python！

After falling to the ground, his whole body spasmed a few times, and he reluctantly stood up, swayed and fell again and then lay motionless.

The lightning attack of the eighth-order monster beast, plus the blow of the tail whip weighing over ten thousand catties, this Saint King Realm Layer 2 martial artist actually only lingered for a while and then died.

The remaining martial artist’s face changed drastically. He never expected such an ending. In his plan, first sneak attack on Yang Kai, snatch the Space Ring in Yang Kai’s hand, and while the Silver Horned Lightning Python was causing trouble for Yang Kai, he and his companion could easily retreat without much danger at all.

But the reality deviated greatly from his prediction.

Yang Kai was unharmed, and his companion actually suffered a tragic accident and died on the spot.

Now he didn’t have the time to trouble Yang Kai anymore, because like Yang Kai, he was also entangled by one of the Silver Horned Lightning Pythons. With the cultivation base of Saint King Realm Layer 2, dealing with an eighth-order monster beast, he could barely save his life. He didn’t dare to engage in a long battle. While fighting, he retreated and soon left Yang Kai’s sight with that Silver Horned Lightning Python.

However, before leaving, that resentful glance made Yang Kai know that this enmity was definitely inexplicably planted on his head.

The other party attacked first attempts to kill people and rob treasures and now they are harboring hatred. Yang Kai naturally will not let it go. What’s more, if they are allowed to run away, he will definitely have trouble. Once the news of the Verdant Lotus Grass spreads, it is bound to attract attention.

This is not a good place to kill people and silence them. The Silver Horned Lightning Python is extremely difficult to deal with. Yang Kai found that his Demon Flame could not cause too much damage to it. The pieces bulging hard skin on its body is simply invulnerable to fire and water, and it already looks a bit like scales.

This is eighth-order peak monster. It is almost about to evolve to the ninth order and transform from a python into a flood dragon.

As long as it is given a dozen years, it will definitely succeed.

Moreover, this Silver Horned Lightning Python seems to have some mutations. Not only can it use thunder attribute supernatural powers, splitting lightning bolts as thick as an arm from that single horn but it can also spray green poisonous fog from its mouth, which gives Yang Kai a great headache.

It takes a lot of effort to kill it！

Yang Kai thought for a moment and then gave up the idea of killing it. Killing such a monster would only yield an eighth-order inner core and some materials. It was really not worth the loss.

He was still in a hurry to silence them.

With such thoughts in mind, he immediately took the initiative to break away from the battle circle and chased in the direction where that martial artist had fled. In a short while, he got rid of the silver-horned electric python that was trailing behind him.

On the way, seeing another silver-horned electric python that had chased out swimming its huge body and returning towards the earthen cave, Yang Kai immediately knew. That martial artist, like himself, should have gotten rid of this troublesome opponent.

In a forest, a martial artist at the Second-Order Saint King Realm was leaning against a big tree, with his spiritual consciousness released, panting heavily, while being vigilant about the movements around him. He was also cursing and swearing.

Originally, he could have obtained more than ten emerald nether grasses, but as fate would have it, not only did he not pick the herbs, but his companion also died.

He had completely hated Yang Kai in his heart and felt that the reason he would encounter such a thing was entirely because of Yang Kai. If it weren’t for this person suddenly killing out and acting rashly, how could he have been so embarrassed？

More than ten emerald nether grasses！ What a great contribution this would have been. If he could safely bring them out and hand them over to the elders of the sect, he would definitely receive a huge reward. But now, everything is gone.

He couldn’t just let it go like this. In any case, he had to snatch the emerald nether grasses back from that person’s hands.

He took out the communication compass from his spatial ring, instilling spiritual thoughts into it and was just about to inform his fellow disciples of what had just happened when a feeling that was both cold and hot, both upright and evil suddenly descended from the sky.

He looked up blankly and only saw a huge pitch-black palm slapping down at him fiercely.

With a scream, he immediately activated his defensive secret treasure and at the same time his figure rushed outwards, instantly fleeing more than ten zhang away and narrowly avoiding the attack of that huge palm print.

Someone was sneaking up on him！

This martial artist’s soul was almost scared out of his wits. His spiritual consciousness had already spread out, but he still didn’t detect the trace of the approaching person. This showed that the opponent’s realm cultivation was higher than his own. But who would sneak up on him？

The next moment, he understood. A pitch-black flame enveloped him. He stared blankly at Yang Kai who was strolling over from not far away and exclaimed in horror： “It’s you…”

Wrap his body With the magic flame he didn’t have the hard skin like the Silver Horned Electric Python and simply couldn’t resist the burning of the magic flame. In just a moment, he turned into a pile of ashes.

On the ground, his spatial ring and a compass secret treasure fell.

Yang Kai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing this compass secret treasure, he knew that his guess was correct. As soon as the other party got rid of the Silver Horned Electric Python, he was going to contact his companions. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, there would be a whole bunch of troubles again.

Bending down to pick up the spatial ring and checking it, as expected, it was all saint crystals and pills. Besides that, there were several saint king grade top-quality medicinal herbs and a few pieces of fire crystal stones the size of broad beans. It seemed that this was his harvest along the way.

Not caring at all to claim these things for himself, Yang Kai picked up that compass treasure again.

Just as he was about to casually throw it into the Space Ring, a fluctuation of spiritual consciousness unexpectedly came from within the compass treasure.

Someone was sending a message！

Yang Kai was shocked in his heart, thinking to himself could it be that he was still a step too late？ Had the other party already contacted someone else？

Frowning, he probed his spiritual consciousness in, and after investigating for a while, Yang Kai’s expression became strange.

There was indeed someone sending a message, but it wasn’t because of what had just happened. Instead, it was the companion of this martial artist, who was gathering people, seemingly having discovered some extraordinary treasure.

Yang Kai originally didn’t want to pay attention. After all, he had just killed someone else’s person on his side, and there was no reason to come into contact with these people again. However, in the information of those spiritual consciousness transmissions, the words ‘Soul-Washing Divine Water’ were mentioned！

This greatly surprised Yang Kai.

Back then, when he read a lot of classics at Yu Bao Xingzong Ao’s place there was not only information about medicinal materials and pill formulas, but also a great many of other secrets and rumors.

Soul-Washing Divine Water was one of them.

This kind of thing was not a treasure naturally produced between heaven and earth, but could only be born due to some fortuitous coincidences.

The birth of Soul-Washing Divine Water must meet three conditions. First, the place of birth must have absolutely rich spiritual energy, preferably on the earth vein or in a spiritual spring. Second, a Void King Realm-level powerhouse must die here. Third, after the death of the Void King Realm powerhouse, the power of the spiritual consciousness does not dissipate but perfectly integrates with the earth vein or the spiritual spring, and there will be an extremely subtle probability of generating Soul-Washing Divine Water.

Among these conditions, the third condition is the most difficult to achieve. Because no matter how powerful a martial artist is, once they die, the soul energy will overflow from the body and soon dissipate between heaven and earth, which is inevitable for anyone.

However, there are also some exceptions.

For example, the Warmth God Lotus has the function of preserving the energy of the spiritual consciousness. When Yang Kai obtained the Warmth God Lotus at that time, a huge amount of spiritual consciousness energy was pervasive around it because the Warmth God Lotus itself has the function of preserving the energy of the spiritual consciousness.

If Yang Kai accidentally died, it would also be the same. His spiritual consciousness energy would not dissipate but would be preserved by the Warmth God Lotus.

And the birth of Soul-Washing Divine Water is also one of these exceptions.

In a person’s soul energy, the experiences and memories of this person’s life are contained, and no one dares to devour it will. Yang Kai must also use the World-Destroying Demon Eye to purify it before devouring.

But the Soul washes Divine Water is different. It is born from the mutual blending of spiritual consciousness energy and huge spiritual energy due to some favorable timing and location. There is no memory and life experience of the dead powerhouse in it. It can be said that these impurities have no more in the passage of countless years.

The Soul Washing Divine Water can not only rapidly improve the spiritual consciousness cultivation of warriors, but also if one sits and comprehends in the Soul Washing Divine Water and is lucky enough, one may even comprehend the supernatural powers of that Void King Realm warrior.

Of course, this probability is even smaller than the probability of the birth of the Soul Washing Divine Water.

Zong Ao’s recorded these but the Soul washes Divine Water is too rare. The Void King Realm warrior is already the peak of the powerhouses in the star field and has a long lifespan. How could he die casually and happen to die in a place with rich spiritual energy?

So Zong Ao has only heard of it and has no chance to see it at all.

What surprised Yang Kai was not that there was Soul Washing Divine Water here. What surprised Yang Kai was one of the conditions for its birth！

If that is really the Soul Washing Divine Water, doesn’t it mean that a Void King Realm powerhouse once died on You’an Star? Since there was a Void King Realm before, why is there none now? The low overall level of alchemy and weapon refining on You’an Star is also a strange phenomenon.

While he was in deep thought the spiritual consciousness messages of warriors were constantly coming from the compass secret treasure in his hand. Many people were asking in surprise and quickly gathering towards a certain place while asking.

Shall we go and take a look？ Yang Kai furrowed his brows. If that was really the Soul Washing Divine Water, it would be worth going to see. If not, it didn’t seem to be much of a loss either. At most, it was just a waste of time.

Having thought of this, Yang Kai didn’t hesitate any longer. While secretly paying attention to the messages in the Compass Secret Treasure, he rushed towards the location that those martial artists had mentioned.
