All monsters in the world originate from the Demon Ancestor.
The Demon Ancestor is a universally reviled traitor among the common folk, described as a ‘dog thing’ by everyone.
This is mainly because the Demon Ancestor was cold and cruel to her own kind, but treated animals, especially dogs, as if they were her own children. After luckily consuming the forbidden fruit, she became the First Human-Demon in the world.
She could transmit demonic energy to other creatures, awakening their spiritual intelligence, thereby allowing them to embark on the path of demonic cultivation.
As a result, she cultivated hundreds of great demons. To help these great demons overcome their heavenly tribulations and transform into human form, she even actively attacked human towns, capturing a large number of ordinary people to serve as consumables for the great demons when they sought their blessings.
The Demon Ancestor’s fate, in the end, was predictable: she was expelled from humanity, then jointly killed by powerful individuals, and her bones were ground to dust.
Unfortunately, after the Demon Ancestor was born, demonic energy had already emerged. From then on, creatures lucky enough to acquire demonic energy all had the chance to awaken their spiritual intelligence, embark on the path of cultivation, and become terrifying great demons.
“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…”
Qingniao knew very well that the monster race’s ‘seeking a blessing’ actually meant extracting everything from the target to benefit the monster itself, thereby elevating its wisdom, strengthening its foundation, and achieving the goal of transforming into human form.
After she finished answering the question, her body would instantly be emptied, and she would die on the spot.
However, just as her body involuntarily began to speak, the bubble in her ear, which had been serving as an earphone, suddenly expanded, enveloping her body within it. The next second, the surrounding scenery changed, and she was already teleported back to the original mountaintop by Yu Xian.
She felt her whole body relax and immediately gasped for air, feeling as if she had narrowly escaped death.
“Qingniao, are you alright?”
Yu Xian teleported back and asked Qingniao.
Initially, he hadn't noticed Qingniao was in danger. It was only when the monster, suspected to be Hu Weijie, sought a blessing, asking Qingniao if it resembled a celestial being or a deity, that he realized Qingniao might be controlled or captured.
Thus, he decisively used the bubble in Qingniao’s ear to teleport Qingniao back.
Qingniao recovered and replied, “I’m fine, but there’s a monster in the airport. I suspect it’s Hu Weijie.”
No sooner had she spoken than a huge roar came from Starbird Airport.
The next moment, a fox with nine tails and a body covered in strange muscles burst out from inside the airport. It scanned left and right, then suddenly lifted its head and locked onto Yu Xian and their location.
Then its bizarre muscles bulged, and its limbs ran in a very uncoordinated manner, charging wildly towards the mountain.
“Its muscles are too strange, and many of the protruding muscles are completely superfluous,” Gong Qian said with a frown, watching the nine-tailed great fox rapidly approach.
Yu Xian frowned and said, “If he really is Hu Weijie, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get anything valuable out of him.”
“It’s so fast, Xian Yu. Let’s take it down First. We can consider other questions later, it’s not too late,” Zhang Shou said, taking out a gun from his storage ring, his palms sweating as the nine-tailed great fox got closer and closer.
Although he wasn't afraid of death, the sheer size of such a fox charging at them was too overwhelming.
“Then let’s move!”
Gong Qian immediately clenched her fists, pushed off the ground with her legs, and rapidly descended the mountain.
At the same time, Yu Xian took a step back, passing through a bubble, and instantly appeared high in the sky.
He looked down at the nine-tailed great fox on the ground, and his fingers immediately released a large number of tiny bubbles. These bubbles fell to the ground, encircling the nine-tailed great fox to form a circular enclosure.
Boom!
At this moment, Gong Qian collided with the nine-tailed great fox. The nine-tailed great fox’s head was struck by a punch, and its massive body exploded on the spot.
Killed in one punch?
Everyone was stunned, then saw blood, debris, and fur rapidly reassemble in mid-air. In an instant, the nine-tailed great fox was resurrected.
“Assuming it really is Hu Weijie, nine tails should mean it has Dragon-level strength, but this is too weak,” Zhang Shou said to everyone.
Qingniao said, “And it was just seeking a blessing from me. This is too strange.”
“Is there a possibility that it also injected the same kind of drug that Sun Youhu and the others injected, but its dosage was far greater than theirs?” Yu Xian said thoughtfully, looking at the reassembled nine-tailed great fox.
The main reason was that when the nine-tailed great fox’s body reassembled, its flesh and blood reassembled layer by layer. Yu Xian saw its muscle Texture, and the glowing lines within those muscles were very similar to the glow emitted by Sun Youhu’s muscles after injecting the drug.
Next, Gong Qian punched the nine-tailed great fox’s body again, blowing it apart, but as expected, the nine-tailed great fox reassembled again. Yu Xian observed even more carefully, and indeed, the muscle lines on the nine-tailed great fox were 90% similar to the muscle lines of Sun Youhu and the others after injecting the drug.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Gong Qian continuously attacked the nine-tailed great fox from different angles, easily blowing it apart with each punch.
However, her attacks seemed to have little effect on the nine-tailed great fox. The nine-tailed great fox tirelessly regenerated and immediately launched an attack on Gong Qian after each rebirth.
It showed no fear, and perhaps even no self-awareness.
But with each charge, it would murmur to itself, asking Gong Qian if it resembled a celestial being or a deity.
Yu Xian had a sudden inspiration. He teleported near Gong Qian through a bubble and shouted at the nine-tailed great fox, “You are neither a celestial being nor a deity. You are just yourself. You are Hu Weijie!”
The extremely violent nine-tailed great fox’s body instantly seemed to freeze. Its pupils frantically split and trembled, then its massive body seemed to be drained by some force, and the flesh under its skin rapidly withered.
Gong Qian originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill it, but Yu Xian gently blocked her with his hand.
“Don’t rush, let’s see if it can find itself again,” Yu Xian said to Gong Qian. If Hu Weijie could regain his consciousness, they could learn more secrets about the drug from him, which was their main objective for this trip.
Killing Hu Weijie would only cut off the clues and do them no good.
At this moment, the nine-tailed great fox’s body completely withered, but a human figure slowly grew out from the top of its head. The lower half of the figure was covered in furry fur, while the upper half was human, but its chest had a giant eye.
“I am like myself, but who am I then?”
“Am I a celestial being? Am I a deity?”
“What am I?”
“Hu Weijie?”
The human figure murmured to itself, leaping from the fox’s head to the ground. Instantly, nine tails of various colors, entirely composed of energy, appeared behind it. These energy tails were like blazing flames, emitting astonishing heat.
“It seems to have completely become Dragon-level,” Gong Qian said with a solemn expression.
Although the original nine-tailed great fox had nine tails, it was not truly Dragon-level; its strength was estimated to be at most Wolf Class. But now, this humanoid monster’s strength had definitely reached true Dragon-level.
“You are Hu Weijie, Hu Tu’er’s father, and Hu Xian’er’s husband,” Yu Xian said, looking at the human figure.
The human figure immediately tilted its head, its lifeless eyes looking askance at Yu Xian. Suddenly, one of its tails transformed into a giant hand and grabbed at Yu Xian, but Yu Xian instantly teleported away with Gong Qian, and its hand grabbed nothing but air.
