The altar was identical to the one under the ruins of Huailan Lake, with the only exception being the absence of the nine-tailed fox this ti.
Jiang Shouzhong felt an intense burning pain on his back, as if a layer of skin had been ripped off.
He gritted his teeth and looked at ngniang, whose complexion was as pale as frost, with a shocking crimson line hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her exposed flesh was mangled, and her delicate skin covered with horrifying scars.
"What kind of demon is this?" Jiang Shouzhong was petrified with fear.
He saw the enormous golden cow brutally break through the thick walls with its golden horns, its blood-red eyes fixed on Jiang Shouzhong and ngniang, closing in step by step as if it had sensed so delicious prey.
ngniang gasped continuously, mocking herself, "We’re really in luck. This cow demon must be the first one that has erged since the resurgence of Demon Energy. To be precise, it’s a beastly demon that hasn’t evolved into a human form, around the Feathered Transformation Realm. Even in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it would be considered extrely powerful."
Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "But didn’t you say that among all the first-generation demons, you had the highest strength?"
ngniang nodded with a bitter smile, "That’s right, but I’ve suppressed my cultivation, and this cow demon has been here in this underground palace for a long ti. It must have absorbed sothing, perhaps the divine power of the altar, to beco so formidable."
Jiang Shouzhong was at a loss for words.
Encountering a Xie in the Feathered Transformation Realm was one thing, but now there was also a beastly demon at the sa level.
How is one supposed to live like this?
Does Heaven really want dead that badly?
"So what do we do now?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked around and found no way out, growing increasingly anxious.
ngniang’s eyes grew dark, reflecting a complex and indistinguishable gleam, facing the cow demon that was drawing closer. A mix of unwillingness, helplessness, and acceptance turned into calmness on her beautiful face.
So be it, perhaps this is fate.
She reminisced about the days when she was suppressed by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, thought about being treated like a re servant by Li Guanshi, rembered the dangers of being captured by the mysterious Taoist... ngniang slowly clenched her fist.
In the pursuit of profound truths, she always hoped to restrain herself like the Human Clan.
Since ancient tis, only "human" stands between heaven and earth, only "human" gains the recognition of the Heavenly Dao.
A stroke here, a stroke there, defines the righteous path.
Thus, the inherently cold-blooded ngniang was willing to repay kindness, always confining herself with morality, hoping that through human conduct she would gain the recognition of heaven and earth and achieve the dao.
But now—
Alright, since you all push to this, I don’t care for this so-called Human Clan’s great dao!
ngniang’s hand gently lifted, and Jiang Shouzhong was lightly flicked away like a feather, landing several yards behind her.
ngniang stood up.
In her palm blood a fragile and captivating pink Other Shore flower.
The petals quivered, and a fragrant mist filled the air.
With the Other Shore flower enhancing her appearance, ngniang looked even more slender and was wrapped in indescribable beauty that made all other things pale in comparison.
ngniang slowly closed her clear eyes, her face was calm and resolute.
The pink Other Shore flower floated up lightly. In an instant, the flower turned into specks of luminescence that entered her delicate body without leaving a trace, and pink phantom petals floated away like a dream.
A hazy glow covered the woman’s entire body, and an enchanting atmosphere diffused from within.
As ngniang’s Demon Energy surged, her previous gentle and charming appearance transford dramatically, her body twisting and warping in impossible ways.
She tilted her head back gracefully, her black hair cascading like a waterfall. Simultaneously, her vivid red bride’s dress transford into fragnts of crimson scale armor, spreading swiftly over her elongating, expanding body.
Atop the altar, a colossal creature revealed itself.
A massive pink and white python appeared before their eyes!
Golden vertical pupils coldly stared at the cow beast, aloof and profound, forked tongue flickering in and out, hissing loudly.
Jiang Shouzhong was dumbstruck.
In that mont, he truly understood the shock and oppression Xu Xian must have felt the first ti he saw the White Snake.
The cow beast hadn’t expected the seemingly frail woman to transform suddenly into a massive python and a flicker of wariness flashed in its eyes.
Nevertheless, the inherent ferocity and stubbornness did not make it retreat. With a roar, the cow beast charged, its hooves pounding the ground, rushing towards the python with a force that seed to shake the very Earth.
The battle between the cow and the snake comnced!
The cow beast used its brute strength to attack with sharp horns, trying to pierce through the python’s belly with each thrust.
ngniang, now in the form of the python, was exceptionally agile. She moved in a nimble and coiling manner, often cleverly dodging while striking back with her sturdy and powerful tail, each sweep carrying the force of a hurricane.
Dust flew everywhere, stone chips scattered, and the deafening roar of their clash echoed nonstop.
Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to muster his energy to suppress the churning blood within his body.
After several exchanges, ngniang saw her opportunity. She whipped her head back and bit down precisely on the cow’s neck, a vulnerable spot.
As the cow’s bones crackled with a chilling sound, the python tensed up and, twisting its body, lifted the cow high into the air. Then, with great force, she flung it, sending the massive cow flying like a teor before it crashed heavily into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and shaking the very hall.
Without waiting for the cow to rise, the python bit down on its neck again, the massive coils entwining and constricting the cow beast relentlessly.
As the grip tightened, the cow beast let out a piercing scream. It struggled in vain as its bones shattered bit by bit, its entire body being crushed into a pile of flesh.
Jiang Shouzhong felt a chill down his spine.
If such a creature were to wrap around a human, the experience would be terrifyingly ecstatic.
