The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 583 - 253: The Sleeping Demon Underwater_3

The Bone Dragon roared, its bony wings spread diagonally against the sky.

The proposal was rejected in its entirety - how could the flame of anger be extinguished?

With a thud, the Bone Dragon took off.

Instead of diving towards the ground, it crashed into the wolf and the snake.

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf reacted quickly, activated "Blood Escape," and instantaneously moved three thousand meters away.

"Boom!!"

The Bone Dragon crashed into the body of the Three-Headed Rotten Snake, its sharp bone spikes piercing the snake’s belly.

The next moment, its wings swept like blades of a sword, decapitating one of the Rotten Snake’s heads, which fell to the ground, spraying the surroundings with mud.

"Old thing, you’re asking for death!!"

The Three-Headed Rotten Snake probably never imagined that the Bone Dragon was targeting it.

Coming to its senses, the remaining two heads flailed wildly, constantly showering corrosive liquid onto the Bone Dragon, making a hissing sound.

"Puff!!"

The Bone Dragon’s wings slashed again, cutting off a second head.

The liquid that sprayed out burned the platinum-colored dragon bone, causing significant damage.

But the Bone Dragon’s frenzied attack did not stop, it pressed down on the Rotten Snake, pinning the snake’s body, and cut off the last head.

"Boom!!"

The Bone Dragon flipped over, dived three times, hit the ground three times, and completely smashed the three heads.

With this, the main body of the Three-Headed Rotten Snake could no longer move, it fell onto the ground like a pile of mud.

"Young Master of the Ye Clan, is this sincerity enough?"

"I no longer ask for advancement to the higher realm, just help me ascend to Unlimited Perfection, and I will assist you in consolidating this place!"

"Interesting."

Ye Hanjun laughed, "I’m a bit curious, with someone as exceptional as you, how did my two clansmen perish here?"

"...."

The Bone Dragon was silent for a long time before it slowly spoke:

"The two culprits were the Ghost King and the Giant Skeleton, undead creatures of the Nether.

"I was sleeping peacefully at the bottom of the river but was forcibly pulled out and had my soul searched."

"This experience occurred not just once, but twice..."

"I see."

Ye Hanjun showed a look of realization as he finally understood what had transpired.

Two beings, just as foolish as the Three-Headed Rotten Snake, stirred trouble, killed people, and quickly got tracked down by their own clansmen who slaughtered their entire clan.

The Bone Dragon shared similarities with them and narrowly escaped being implicated.

Having escaped death twice, it was now too petrified to take any more risks, even if it was bold.

"What about the other three lords?" Ye Hanjun asked subsequently.

"Two of them escaped, I don’t know where they went."

"The other one sleeps more than I do. It slept through the previous two disasters, but unlike me, it was never interrogated."

With a sigh, the Bone Dragon truthfully informed.

"In a deep slumber all year round?"

Ye Hanjun was curious, "Which species is this that can sleep so much?"

"The Sleep Demon Clan."

"And its color is unlike the typical Sleep Demon, it’s pitch black."

It doesn’t snore either, never once has there been a spectacle of ’snoring like thunder’."

The Bone Dragon hesitated a bit, then cautiously said:

"This place was originally its home."

"But the river contains abundant spiritual substances and numerous remains, which attracted many creatures."

"Because it has never woken up, and we have never provoked it, we’ve always coexisted peacefully."

"Your Highness, this information is vital!"

Wan Ming becomes serious immediately, advising Ye Hanjun while frowning:

"The fact that it can keep six Unlimited Foetuses at bay suggests that this Sleep Demon may have already ascended to Unlimited Perfection."

"The danger level of this territory can definitely compare with the Seven Star level."

"Your Highness, shall we reconsider the selection of the territory? We can still do this operation within a year."

"Never mind."

Ye Hanjun shakes his head:

"Although it’s a ticking time bomb, right now we don’t have the capability to defuse it."

"But as it belongs to the Sleep Demon Clan, as long as we don’t disturb its sleep, it won’t easily awaken."

"What counts as not disturbing it?"

Yu Ruoxin, who has been eavesdropping, asks timidly, clutching the edge of her clothes:

"As the domain continues to operate, it will permeate deeper and deeper into the soil, and the ecosystem here will become increasingly diverse."

"The Sleep Demon Clan leader might not like the vibrant life, but prefer desolation and tranquility instead, right?"

"If we provoke it for this reason, our situation will be awkward..."

"I won’t deny that there might be such a situation."

Ye Hanjun murmurs to himself: "But the underwater ecosystem is incredibly rich in the first place."

"Even so, the Sleep Demon has never awakened."

"Even when powerful beings from our clan came here twice to kill and spill blood, it wasn’t affected, let alone harmed."

"I strongly suspect that this Sleep Demon is in a state of ’deep sleep’, hoping to wake up and evolve from an Unlimited Foetus to a Shining World Fetus."

By living here and blessing this land, we indirectly accelerate its growth."

"For it, there are only benefits and no disadvantages, why would it vent its anger on us?"

"If that’s the case, seems like it’s alright."

Yu Ruoxin pats her chest, her mood slightly stabilized.

"Dragon Rib? Your name is somewhat peculiar."

"Now that the Three-Headed Rotten Snake is dead and the Sleep Demon is still inactive, you’re already the sole king here."

"From now on, you’ll be responsible for managing the underwater creatures. I won’t restrict their natural habits, but they’re not allowed to approach Machination Castle, Mountain Castle... if my people get hurt due to your negligence, don’t blame me for turning hostile."

The Bone Dragon responded and dove back into the water, starting a new round of underwater parade.

"Wan Ming, send some insects towards the south."

I’ve confirmed on the sand table that the Ghost Killing River Region is the vacant territory closest to Shattered Rock Prison, but there’s still a long distance between them."

"Go and investigate which lords are in our surrounding areas and which places are particularly dangerous and need to be marked as prohibited danger zones, absolutely not to be accessed."

"Yes."

Wan Ming took on the task and started to incubate the insect eggs he brought.

"Let me take you to Mountain Castle."

Ye Hanjun turned to his disciples and other subordinates:

"From now on, you can only stay in the castle, you may not go out and adventure randomly like in Giant Frog Marsh."

"I will provide you with suitable cultivation resources and will regularly capture life wheel level wild Fond Spirits for you to practice with."

"Your only focus should be to strive to adapt to the Abyss environment, seek steady progress, and become as strong as possible!"
