If I collaborate with Lu Chen, we can immediately deal with the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent. As for the Minotaurs, they can handle themselves; if they want to fight, so be it.
The Golden Ancient One replied, "I can handle the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent myself; it's just a matter of time. However, your collaboration makes sense. In that case, you take action first, and let's deal with this beast."
The Golden Ancient One's words were somewhat indirect, and Lu Chen could naturally pick up on that. He was also afraid that once the Minotaurs were free to act, they would come after him. At that moment, he would be isolated and exhausted, which would lead to significant trouble.
However, the Golden Ancient One couldn't bring himself to speak plainly. Lu Chen understood the implication behind his words and smiled without responding.
Lu Chen circled around the battlefield where the Golden Ancient One was fighting the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, his eyes sharp as he squinted to look for an opportunity.
He saw the Golden Ancient One lightly jump and thrust his Golden Staff toward the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent.
The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent seemed to have learned from its previous encounter with the Golden Staff; its eyes narrowed as it swayed its body backward a few steps.
It swung its massive Steel Fork, dodging the Golden Staff with a flick of its snake head and then lunging forward with the Steel Fork aimed at the Golden Ancient One.
The Golden Ancient One swung his staff forcefully, knocking aside the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent's Steel Fork. He spun his body and leaped high into the air, bringing down the Golden Staff.
However, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent was quite agile; its large body swayed again to avoid the descending Golden Staff.
Lu Chen had been gathering an invisible energy blade in his hand. Seeing this opportunity, he finally made his move.
The invisible energy blade sliced through the air at incredible speed, striking like lightning as it cut through the middle head of the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, targeting the horn that had already turned red.
The technique Lu Chen used was Imperial Aura. However, to ensure a hit, he exerted nearly all of his strength—essentially a full-power strike.
The horn on the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent's head was incredibly hard; even with Lu Chen's full force, he only managed to cut through it partially.
Immediately after, the severed horn fell to the ground as the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent recoiled in pain, retreating a bit.
The Golden Ancient One's eyes narrowed as he seized the opportunity. He spun his body and swung the Golden Staff, aiming for the Horn of the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent that was falling down, striking it with precision.
This scene resembled an ancient technique used to strike stones at prey, known as "Giant Stone Strike."
The Horn, struck by the Golden Ancient One, flew towards Lu Chen. Quick-witted, Lu Chen caught it in his arms.
He immediately felt its immense weight, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. It was as thick as a stone pillar, three feet long, and curved like a crescent moon. The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent was already enormous, and its Horn was no exception.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen opened the Jun Bell and placed the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent Horn inside. With this, he ensured safety; the Divine Treasure Elixir was contained within this Horn. He could deal with it later after resolving the current situation.
The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent not only lost the Divine Treasure Elixir but also had its Horn taken away. Its fury was unimaginable, and it immediately went into a rage.
The Golden Ancient One roared, "Beast! This elixir never belonged to you; you brought this upon yourself. I held back earlier out of concern for the Divine Medicine's safety, but now I will show no mercy. Prepare to die!"
With that, the Golden Ancient One raised his staff and shouted loudly, his piercing voice shaking the ground as if the Underground Palace itself trembled under the Demon Emperor's presence.
Within thirty steps of both the Golden Ancient One and the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, a massive runic altar appeared—this was the Golden Ancient One's signature skill, the Golden Altar.
Within this altar, the Golden Ancient One was nearly invincible; no one could defeat him inside the Golden Altar.
Indeed, after activating the Golden Altar, the Golden Ancient One's body surged with power, Demonic Energy rolling off him in waves, creating an awe-inspiring presence.
In battle now, he moved with incredible agility and strength; his commands were followed by powerful spells. Under his Golden Staff, he was unmatched.
The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent fought against the Golden Ancient One within the Golden Altar for several rounds but became increasingly frustrated and unstable in its tactics.
Seeing this situation unfold, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent decided not to linger any longer. It turned and leaped out of the Golden Altar. As if sensing something special, it quickly ran to the edge of the Underground Palace, heading towards the Dark River.
The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent turned and said ominously, "Cunning Human Offspring, I have memorized your scent. From now on, we cannot coexist. Await my revenge."
With that, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent jumped into the Dark River, disappearing into the murky waters in the blink of an eye, flowing downstream and vanishing from sight.
The existence of this Dark River seemed to be well known to the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent. It was possible that its entry into the Underground Palace was related to this Dark River.
However, it had already left, leaving Lu Chen's plan to eliminate future threats in vain. There was nothing he could do. The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent was likely a match even for the Golden Ancient One beneath this Dark River; if he went down there, he would find it even harder to contend with it. He decided it was best to rescue Yuanmo Laozu first.
"It has already left; do not pursue it any further, as no one can catch up with it. It has memorized your scent, and you may find yourself in danger in the future," the Golden Ancient One kindly advised Lu Chen.
This Nine-Headed Demon Serpent seemed to know about any treasures that appeared anywhere on the Wasteland Continent; it was always present when they emerged.
It relied on its keen sense of smell; as soon as it detected any movement in the wind or grass, it would immediately rush over to participate in the competition for them.
Now that it had memorized Lu Chen's scent, it was likely that whenever it found an opportunity in the future, it would target Lu Chen.
"Let them come; I will stand firm against any soldiers and bury any water that comes my way. The Nine-Headed Demon Serpent cannot intimidate me," Lu Chen said confidently, standing tall as if speaking to himself.
"You are young but possess great spirit. Alright, let us rescue your friend," the Golden Ancient One said as he and Lu Chen turned toward the battlefield where Yuanmo Laozu and the Beast Clan Leaders were engaged.
"Do you need me to take action?" the Golden Ancient One asked.
Lu Chen waved his hand and replied, "No need to trouble the ancient god. Please enter my Jun Bell and sit comfortably; I have my own way to rescue Yuanmo Laozu."
Then, Lu Chen opened the Jun Bell, and without hesitation, the Golden Ancient One transformed into a beam of light and flew inside.
Immediately after, Lu Chen enlarged the Jun Bell to a size as large as a mountain and pressed forward toward Yuanmo Laozu.
At this moment, Jun Bell was like a massive wheel, rolling forward, unstoppable and crushing everything in its path.
A group of Beast Clan Leaders was focused on their battle when suddenly the ground shook behind them. Before they could react, Jun Bell had already rolled over them, causing panic as they hurriedly pushed each other aside.
Jun Bell forcefully broke through the encirclement and rolled into the center of the crowd. Immediately, a voice called out from within.
"Ancestor, hurry and get in."
Yuanmo Laozu shook its body and let out a roar before leaping high into Jun Bell.
"Thinking of escaping? It's not that easy."
Minotaur shouted angrily, swinging the massive blade in its hand, aiming to strike down.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly condensed a sharp Qi blade, slashing it back at Minotaur.
Minotaur felt its steps hindered and realized the danger, quickly dodging to the side against the mountain wall.
However, by the time it landed again, Jun Bell had already sealed its exit and swiftly took off.
"You'll pay for this, Yuanmo Laozu and that Human Offspring. Just wait to bear the wrath of the entire Demon Kingdom."
Minotaur swung its large blade, roaring in anger. It planned to return and immediately gather warriors from all clans to march south against the Ape Demon Clan, vowing to tear Yuanmo Laozu and Lu Chen to pieces to vent its fury.
At this moment, Jun flew out of the Underground Palace, emerging from the Demon Thirteen Tombs and heading directly south.
Inside Jun Bell, Yuanmo Laozu had manifested its human Dharmakaya and was sitting on the ground recuperating. It was evident that it had just exerted itself greatly, with a significant consumption of Yin Yuan.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast stood together, nervously watching Yuanmo Laozu.
As for the Golden Ancient One, he had put away the Golden Staff and was observing the interior of the Jun Bell, as if admiring a beautiful landscape.
After a while, the Golden Ancient One nodded, gazing at the exquisite interior of the Jun Bell, and said, "What a marvel! To possess such skills at this age is truly astonishing."
Lu Chen glanced at the Golden Ancient One but said nothing. He shifted his focus to the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent Horn nearby and remarked, "I never expected that after stealing the Divine Medicine, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent would swallow it whole. Now that the Divine Medicine has fused with its Horn, extracting it will likely require considerable effort."
Lu Chen was concerned that since the Divine Medicine had already merged with the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent's Horn, it would not be easy to extract it.
The Golden Ancient One pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed troublesome, but it's only a matter of time. What worries me more is the fate of the Ape Demon Clan. They will have to bear the wrath of the entire Wasteland Continent; that Minotaur will not let this go easily."
When Demon Thirteen Tombs descended upon Goat Path Peak, the Minotaur and others did not acquire many treasures, and even the Divine Medicine was snatched away by Lu Chen and Yuanmo Laozu. How could they easily accept this?
"I'm not worried about that. If Ox and his group want to come down and besiege the south, they are welcome to try," Lu Chen replied coldly.
"Oh? The Minotaur commands countless beings across the Wasteland Continent; aren't you afraid at all?" The Golden Ancient One was puzzled by Lu Chen's confidence.
