Chapter 1338: Getting the Saint Perishing Fruit
Such a strong force!
Qingfeng Li scowled with surprise.
The Saint Perishing Fruit is a saint-level fruit from the ancient era, with Heavenly Dao talisman scripts naturally forming on the surface that prevented Qingfeng Li from touching it.
Qingfeng Li used his knowledge of talisman scripts and his Mortal Purgatory Body to forcefully snatch the Saint Perishing Fruit in hand and store it in his interspatial ring.
The self-cultivators who didn't understand talisman scripts would never be able to obtain the Saint Perishing Fruit. Luckily, Qingfeng Li had learned some related knowledge.
Qingfeng Li was delighted after placing the fruit in his interspatial ring. He had made it through all these difficulties in Hell to get this Saint Perishing Fruit and was very excited when finally got it.
"Qingfeng, hand over the Saint Perishing Fruit, or I'll kill you."
"Qingfeng Li, leave the Saint Perishing Fruit here. Otherwise, today will be the day you die."
"You bastard, how dare you to take Saint Perishing Fruit!? That is ours."
Jianhuang Zhao, Binghuang Dao, and Yihuang Shou all threatened Qingfeng.
There were two precious treasures on the second level of hell. One was the Saint Perishing Fruit and the other was the Immortal's Sutra. These three orthodox sect masters wanted to get both.
Qingfeng Li smirked at these three and said, "The Saint Perishing Fruit is mine. Take it if you have the ability."
Qingfeng Li turned around and ran away after saying this. He wanted to leave because he also sensed the danger approaching.
"Don't let Qingfeng Li go! Catch him!" Jianhuang Zhao waved his hand and shouted.
Binghuang Dao and Yihuang Shou nodded and chased Qingfeng Li from two directions, but Qingfeng Li stopped after running ten meters, because a giant mouth had appeared before him.
It was a huge mouth 100 meters wide, and he almost ran into it.
Qingfeng Li stopped, his face sullen at the giant beast in front of him.
It was a huge Taotie, a gluttonous beast over 1000 meters long with a body as black as the rest of Hell that made it hard to notice if one wasn't paying attention. It opened its mouth, anticipating Qingfeng Li running inside.
Jianhuang Zhao, Binghuang Dao, and Yihuang Shou also noticed the beast and stopped their chase because they felt the powerful aura of the beast, which was stronger than all of them.
This peerless ferocious beast looked at these people, with cruel light shining in its eyes. With chilling murderous intent, it seemed to want to kill them all.
The self-cultivators around also saw the beast and were all shocked pale.
Some of them wanted to escape, but the beast opened its mouth and inhaled, sweeping the running self-cultivators into its mouth with a black whirlwind.
It chewed a few times, mashing all the self-cultivators into a bloody paste, and turning them into its energy.
All the self-cultivators entering Hell were genius disciples and cultivators of at least the Heavenly Spirit Realm, with the majority in the Spirit King Realm.
But now, these powerful self-cultivators were so helpless in front of this beast that, with just a breath, they all died in its mouth.
All the other self-cultivators were horribly frightened and dared not to run away.
They all realized that they couldn't escape the inhaling force of this beast.
"What's this demonic beast? I've never seen it before."
"I haven't seen anything like this either. It shouldn't be from Earth. I would never have come to Hell if I knew it was this terrifying! My wife is still waiting for me at home!"
The self-cultivators around were discussing in a low voice with fear and regret.
But there was no elixir that they could take to reverse the situation. They were destined to meet countless dangerous situations when they decided to enter Hell. Even death was not a big deal when their souls could also be eaten, causing them to lose the chance of entering reincarnation.
Binghuang Dao looked at Jianhuang Zhao and asked, "Do you know what demonic beast that is?"
Jianghuang Zhao shook his head, "I've never seen it before. Ask Yihuang Shou. He is the master of the Beast-Emperor Sect and knows the most about the demonic beasts."
Jianhuang Zhao and Binghuang Dao turned around and looked at Yihuang Shou. They found him trembling with a pale look. His sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he didn't even seem to notice.
Jianhuang Zhao and Binghuang Dao were confused. They didn't understand why Yihuang Shou was this afraid of the beast.
Yihuang Shou was the sect master of the Beast-Emperor Sect and one of the top three of the orthodox forces, with a cultivation at the Second Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm. How could he be this afraid?
"Yihuang Shou, what the hell is this beast? Why are you so afraid?" Jianhuang Zhao asked.
Yihuang Shou was trembling and said in a low voice, "It's called Taotie, one of the ten great ferocious beasts of the ancient era. It can swallow everything in the world, but its favorite is human self-cultivators since we are the best for replenishing its vital essence."
"Taotie." Hearing Yihuang Shou's words, Jianhuang Zhao frowned with confusion.
There were myths about the ancient times, with stories on the ten great godly beasts, ten great ferocious beasts, the Sky Emperor, Immortals, and Saints.
Among them, the ten great ferocious beasts were the most horrible. They destroyed the world and massacred humans, feeding on them since the ancient era.
Jianhuang Zhao thought it was only a myth. Could it be true? There were really ten great ferocious beasts on Earth?
Jianhuang Zhao looked and Yihuang Shou and said, "Yihuang Shou, are you sure it's the Taotie? You are not mistaken?"
Yihuang Shou shook his head and said with terror, "I swear on my life that it's really the Taotie. I have read an ancient book from some holy ruins and it records on the ancient beasts. The description matches!"
Jianhuang Zhao and Binghuang Dao were shocked upon hearing Yihuang Shou's words. They were not sure that the Taotie in front of them was an ancient ferocious beast and they were no match for it.
Yihuang Shou said it loudly, so Qingfeng Li heard it too.
He was also shocked since he never thought that he would encounter an ancient ferocious beast here. Though he was powerful, he knew he was no match for such a beast.
The self-cultivators around also heard Yihuang Shou's words and were all frightened to death.
