Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: To rest and wait for fatigue, fist to claw meet

The Big Black Cat darted left and right, trying to find an opportunity to break through.

But after several attempts, all ended in failure.

A few times he was very close to the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass, but was blocked by the Giant Demon Yam Flower, Ghost Lice, and Red Blood Earthworms guarding there.

There was always a small contingent of bizarre creatures loyally guarding the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass.

As the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was too fast and slippery like a loach, the Dragon Lord couldn’t keep up even if he wanted to. Eventually, the Dragon Lord simply gave up on the idea of hunting him down.

After several failed attempts, the Big Black Cat soared into the sky and left the valley.

He finally understood. No one could succeed at the moment. With those bizarre creatures guarding, it was impossible to approach the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass.

The best approach right now... is to conserve strength and continue refining the Teleportation Boots.

The Big Black Cat speculated that the huge commotion here would attract many Demon Clan powerhouses. The stronger the Demon Clan’s forces, the greater the pressure on those bizarre creatures would be.

Once his Teleportation Boots increased his speed, he would have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

The Big Black Cat settled on a huge stone, sat cross-legged, and started refining the Teleportation Boots. The Sky Spirit Cat quietly guarded beside him, asking no questions.

She held the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, keeping a close eye on the Eternal Life Immortal Grass.

Then, several figures flew over from a distance.

Some from the Demon Clan saw the intense battle here and plunged in without hesitation, joining the struggle for the Eternal Life Immortal Grass.

However, some Demon Clan members whose cultivation stages weren’t high enough took a few glances at the chaotic scene and left the area.

Other members of the Demon Clan stood guard nearby, ready to seize an opportunity at any moment.

Narrowing his eyes, the Big Black Cat stared at the Heavenly Spirit Mirror while continuously refining the Teleportation Boots. At this point, being anxious was useless.

The difficulty of obtaining this Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass was even more complicated and higher than the previous time; it could be considered an epic-level task.

At this moment, a golden light rapidly flew over from a distance.

In mid-air, it transformed into a man in a golden robe, landing in front of the Big Black Cat.

”Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, long time no see! I didn’t expect you to be hiding here!” the man in the golden robe said with a sneer, looking at the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat.

Opening one eye, the Big Black Cat examined the man before him and responded with a light smile, ”So it’s the Golden Winged Roc.”

”I want to ask you, who exactly ambushed me that day and stole the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass?” the Golden Winged Roc asked with an indifferent expression as soon as he arrived.

”I couldn’t see clearly; the assailant was too fast...” the Big Black Cat answered, smiling slightly.

He would never admit to such a thing.

Besides, there were no outsiders at the scene; no one would know he was the one behind it.

The Golden Winged Roc’s gaze fell on the Big Black Cat. After a few seconds, he slowly said, ”It wasn’t you who did it, was it?”

”Don’t make baseless accusations,” the Big Black Cat said indifferently, his eyelids lowered. ”Golden Winged Roc, if we truly fight, you might not be a match for me!”

”Really?”

The Golden Winged Roc was taken aback. He carefully looked at the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat.

Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, who was originally at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm, had actually broken through to the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.

What on earth was going on?

Why had the restrictive power within the Nine Soul Underground Palace lessened its effect on him?

If the Nine-Tailed Spirit Cat had also reached the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm, the Golden Winged Roc wouldn’t have the confidence to fight him.

At the same level, they were equally matched.

With that thought, the Golden Winged Roc’s desire to fight the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was extinguished.

He glanced at the tumultuous battle situation in the valley and suddenly laughed, ”Friend, how is it that there’s another Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass below? Aren’t you going to try and snatch it?”

”I tried, but I didn’t succeed,” the Big Black Cat shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

”Hmm...”

The Golden Winged Roc looked again towards the valley. After a good while, he slowly said, ”Friend, both of us possess excellent speed and Divine Skills. Why not join forces?”

”Join forces? Are you joking? Do you plan to split that stalk of Eternal Life Immortal Grass and consume it separately?” The Big Black Cat shook his head, a mocking smile on his face.

”If you don’t want to join forces, so be it.”

The Golden Winged Roc sneered and suddenly fell silent.

He had only been speaking casually.

This Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was extremely cunning; he wouldn’t trust him.

Now, the battle beneath the valley was extremely intense, with the strange creatures and the great demons fighting each other. He did not want to get involved in this chaos.

「A day passed quickly.」

To seize this Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass, the battle in the valley still raged fiercely.

Some of the Demon Clan had retreated, but some powerful great demons were still fighting.

Although the strange creatures were terrifying, the Demon Clan had a continuous stream of reinforcements joining, and they had killed many of the strange creatures.

As for the Red Blood Earthworms, although they couldn’t be killed for the time being, they were repeatedly cut down, and their healing speed had slowed.

The Golden Winged Roc stood with his hands behind his back, his golden pupils flickering with golden light as he constantly looked for opportunities.

The Big Black Cat had a calm expression, resting with his eyes closed, but secretly, he was desperately refining the Teleportation Boots.

The Sky Spirit Cat beside him was silent, intently watching the Heavenly Spirit Mirror.

This situation is extremely dangerous.

She felt a constant unease, fearing the strange creatures in the valley might rush out.

At this moment, another figure flew over from a distance, transforming in mid-air into a middle-aged man in a grey robe.

He looked around and suddenly spotted the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat and the Sky Spirit Cat sitting on the boulder. As if remembering something, his face turned gloomy.

”Isn’t that the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?” the middle-aged man stroked his chin and said in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing someone speak, the Big Black Cat opened his eyes and immediately recognized the man.

This person had also been one of those present during the first scramble for the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass.

He was once a great demon of the Destiny Realm, but his current Cultivation Stage was suppressed to the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.

”What’s your business?” The Big Black Cat’s eyes flashed coldly, his gaze as sharp as two swords as he shot back.

The great demon looked at the Golden Winged Roc again and sneered, ”Golden Winged Roc, you snatched a stalk of Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass last time. Are you planning to repeat your old tricks this time?”

”The Eternal Life Immortal Grass in the Nine Soul Underground Palace has always been ownerless. Anyone can snatch it!” the Golden Winged Roc, displeased, stated emphatically.

”Well said!” The great demon sneered relentlessly. Although he was slightly stronger, he was far slower than the Golden Winged Roc.

He was even slower than the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat.

If he wanted to contend for this opportunity, he had to venture into the valley; only then might there be a slim chance for him to grasp it.

Composing himself, the great demon took a deep breath, gave the two a cold stare, and then, with a flash, dashed into the mist.

”Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, it seems many people consider us allies!” The Golden Winged Roc chuckled.

”Who the hell wants to ally with you?” the Big Black Cat retorted grumpily. ”Get away from me!”

Seeing the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat acting so arrogantly, the Golden Winged Roc was immediately enraged. He stretched out his arm to grab the Big Black Cat.

His palm suddenly transformed into a golden claw in mid-air, the fine scales on it shining with a golden luster.

WHOOSH!

It swooped down, howling as it approached.

Seeing the Golden Winged Roc actually dare to attack him, rage surged in the Big Black Cat’s heart. He immediately leaped up, swinging a fist to meet the attack.

His physical body had been enhanced dozens of times; he was definitely not weaker than the Golden Winged Roc.

BOOM!

The golden claw and the fist collided in mid-air, producing a massive roar.

The Golden Winged Roc was thrown back dozens of feet before he stopped. Grimacing, he raised his injured hand, watching as blood dripped continuously.

His hand was a mangled mess of flesh, with stark white bone showing through.
