Baby with Daoist Monarch System

The red silhouette looked at the scene in horror, a chilling fear rising from its heart.

Xu Ran observed the terrified expression of the red silhouette, but a sense of satisfaction was evident on his face as a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

”You’re courting death!”

The red silhouette snapped back to reality, its pupils slightly contracting as it gazed at Xu Ran’s vengeful smile. Deep within, a chill arose again, and it immediately shouted coldly.

The reason behind this rebuke was not just because Xu Ran had damaged that colossal corpse, but because the golden Immortal Sword they concentrated was actually capable of obliterating the flesh and blood of the corpse below!

This corpse was no ordinary one; even though it had been dead for countless years, there were likely few in this world capable of causing it any damage.

And yet, this infant before him could accomplish such a feat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran smiled lightly.

Then, from within his body, a surge of boundless Innate Qi gushed forth once more, forming a floating celestial river in the stillness of the valley sky, pouring completely into that golden vortex.

As the endless Innate Qi poured in, a curtain of light began to descend upon the golden vortex, eventually enveloping the red silhouette within.

In an instant, a feeling of fear surged from his heart, and the red silhouette’s face changed drastically as it shouted.

”What do you want to do?”

In response to that insignificant threat, Xu Ran said nonchalantly, ”Since you dared to attack the Peregrine Falcon, didn’t you anticipate that I would target the corpse below?”

”You dared to attack the Peregrine Falcon; do you think I would let you off?”

From above the sky, Xu Ran looked down at the red silhouette enveloped in golden light.

From the moment it made a move against the Peregrine Falcon, its fate was already sealed.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have exhausted his Innate Qi just to conjure a second Immortal Sword.

Indeed, the golden Immortal Sword that burst out from the vortex is exactly the second Immortal Sword recorded in [Immortal Sword Skill].

Generally speaking, with his current Innate Qi, attempting to conjure a second Immortal Sword would have been extremely difficult.

However, within this eerie valley, there was not only the mysterious ghostly green mist but also the presence of White Tiger Evil Qi, and now even the appearance of Innate Qi, White Tiger Evil Qi, and Kunpeng Aura.

This Aura, which can almost be equated with Innate Qi, was all being fully converted into his own Innate Qi by the Great Success [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body].

With several enhancements, the second Immortal Sword could finally be conjured, albeit momentarily; but it was more than enough to deal with the red silhouette.

As for attacking the corpse, Xu Ran had discovered that with all the previously appearing strange creatures, no matter what disturbances they caused, it never resulted in any harm or effect on the colossal corpse.

Thus, Xu Ran suspected that there might be some significance of these strange creatures in the valley to the corpse, leading to such an outcome.

Judging from the red silhouette’s reaction now, Xu Ran’s guess seemed to be correct.

The Peregrine Falcon, in the safe zone, heard Xu Ran’s tone of superiority, and there was endless emotion stirring in its heart, with starlight glimmering in its eyes.

Upon entering this eerie valley, the first thing that came into view was the colossal corpse. Initially, they all believed that this gigantic corpse must hold an extraordinary significance, perhaps even being the source of the valley’s appearance.

As it turned out, because the red silhouette had attacked it just now to force its master Xu Ran into a direct confrontation, this event resulted in inciting Xu Ran’s fury completely, leading to the current predicament!

Since entering this eerie valley, it has always been the master Xu Ran protecting it, and now, for its sake, he undertook such a risky endeavor; its heart is extremely moved.

With bright light shining in its eyes, it gazed up at that small but majestic figure in the sky, admiration rising within it!

However.

At the moment Xu Ran uttered these words, the flesh of the enormous body, which had vanished due to the second Immortal Sword, quietly restored itself as if nothing had ever happened.

Neither Xu Ran nor the Peregrine Falcon, whose attention was entirely focused on the red silhouette, noticed this occurrence.

...

”Hahaha!”

The red silhouette’s face turned into bewilderment and dismay as it laughed uncontrollably upon hearing Xu Ran’s words, a sense of loneliness and unwillingness imbued within the laughter.

”In life, I considered myself a child of destiny, capable of seeing through others’ techniques in an instant, able to replicate them effortlessly, no matter how complex the Divine Techniques.”

”Yet, on the final path, I miscalculated by one move, becoming someone else’s stepping stone.”

”By a twist of fate, I thought I found the way to Resurrection, only to end up a stepping stone for another, defeated this time by a one-year-old child!”

The words spoken by the red silhouette were filled with reluctance, and its previously chilling eyes turned pitiful at that moment.

Xu Ran remained silent, continually channeling Innate Qi toward the golden vortex above.

Throughout this process, the curtain of golden light that seemed to overwhelm the heavens unceasingly washed over the red silhouette. The black-and-white stripes on its body, and the massive wings on its back, slowly faded, while the red aura over the valley also waned at this moment.

”If that’s the case, then I can only wish you good luck!”

A mournful voice echoed in the valley.

Within that golden curtain of light, the red silhouette began to gradually dissipate like the dispersion of the corpse’s flesh, turning to nothingness, scattering throughout the valley as if it had never appeared.

Nonetheless, Xu Ran did not let his guard down at this moment.

His eyes remained fixed on the crevice that had earlier been formed by the aftershock.

”Hiss!”

”Hiss!”

”Hiss!”

...

From the bottomless chasm came the piercingly sharp hissing sound that resembled a snake, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The golden light over the valley slowly faded, with the Innate Qi returning into Xu Ran’s body, encasing his back. The chill that could penetrate one’s soul finally began to subside.

The Peregrine Falcon, amidst the safe zone, upon hearing this hissing sound, immediately recalled the snake-like skeletal monster that initially appeared.

However, the initial snake-like skeletal monster did not have a ’hiss, hiss’ sound, being composed merely of bones with no snake tongue visible.

Yet this ’hiss, hiss’ sound was clearly emitted by a snake’s tongue, suggesting this time it might not be as simple as just a skeletal creature but rather a real creature.

Those skeletal creatures, resurrected, couldn’t even measure up to one-tenth of their original strength, yet even so, their aura was such that the Peregrine Falcon couldn’t withstand them for even a moment.

Now, this is a true, living creature, incomparable to the previously resurrected beings.

”What is appearing this time... could it be?”

Xu Ran murmured as the soul-piercing hissing sound echoed in his ears.

Since entering this valley, everything has felt eerie, even Resurrection has taken place; the previous red silhouette even spoke of true revival within this valley, but alas, it failed.

Now, beneath the earth, which supposedly had no space for survival, the sound of a living creature emerged?

It’s vital to note that before those two beams of light collided, the earth within the valley was completely sealed, with no gaps or possibilities for life to exist below.

Even if the entire valley had previously restored to such a state, Xu Ran’s Divine Sense had already swept across every inch, leaving no stone unturned, even beneath the earth.

Now however, the sudden emergence of a snake-like sound would undoubtedly warrant Xu Ran’s attention—more so in this eerie valley!
