Chapter 877: You Can Address Me as the Celestial Horned Dragonsnake

After Xiang Shaoyun broke up the Overlord Legion, some left alone while some left in groups. They scattered everywhere for their final training in the battleground. If any of them could find any of those steles during this remaining period, it would be considered their own good fortune.

Han Chenfei wanted to train alongside Xiang Shaoyun, but when she saw that Xiang Shaoyun only allowed Lady Shura to stay by his side, she knew that there was no chance that was happening.

Han Chenfei was not someone to pester others endlessly. Thus, she grouped with the Han Clan sisters and went off in a random direction.

After everyone left, Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush to leave with Lady Shura. Instead, he remained and handed a strand of draconic aura to Lady Shura so she could further increase her strength.

Previously at the secret cave, he had absorbed a large amount of draconic aura to reach the seventh stage. After that, he stopped absorbing more and had instead extracted six strands and put them away. The strand he gave Lady Shura was one of them.

This strand of draconic aura was incredibly powerful. It was exceptionally beneficial for Lady Shura, who was only a fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator; it was enough to help her advance straight to the next stage.

She naturally didn't hold back and absorbed the strand of draconic aura. She herself also possessed the shura battle aura that could refine the vicious energy contained within the draconic aura. However, her refinement speed was rather slow. With Xiang Shaoyun and Money personally standing guard for her, she did not need to worry about interruptions.

"Money, we should spar when there's time," said Xiang Shaoyun as he looked at Money, who was currently in his human form.

Money's human form was still the same sturdy and handsome young man clad in silver armor, which made him look rather valiant. He replied, "No problem, boss. But you can't beat me up with the nine-colored fog. I won't be able to withstand that."

"I thought you were very tough. Why are you afraid of that?" teased Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.

"Yes, I'm tough, but not tough enough to endure the bombardment of the nine-colored fog. That is an ultimate energy formed through the combination of nine energies," said Money with a look of fear.

"Ultimate energy? Interesting," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"That's what it has always been. During the formation of the world, before life was created, this energy had existed," Money lamented.

"Oh? Looks like you know a lot. Tell your boss more," said Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment.

Money scratched his head and laughed dryly, "In fact, that is all I know. After I enhanced my bloodline, I have awakened some memory fragments from my bloodline. Perhaps I will learn more after strengthening my bloodline more."

"Do you need more true dragon energy?"

"In truth, I am an offspring of a lightning dragon and a celestial horned snake. The celestial horned snake's bloodline is not much weaker than the dragon bloodline. Hence, I can also grow quickly with celestial horned snake energy. In fact, you can address me as a celestial horned dragonsnake. I can only become a true lightning dragon if I fully give up on my celestial horned snake bloodline, but I am not interested in doing that," said Money, finally coming forth with his origin.

"Celestial horned snake? That's an extremely powerful type of snake!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in astonishment.

He had read many ancient texts and had once come across the records regarding the celestial horned snakes. They were extremely terrifying snakes with incomparable cultivation talent. They were one of the strongest demons in existence.

He had not imagined that Money actually possessed such a rare bloodline. It was understandable why he wasn't willing to transform into a pure dragon. After all, the celestial horned snakes were no weaker than the true dragons. In fact, some of their innate demonic abilities were even stronger than what the true dragons had. Money had a great advantage with his possession of both bloodlines.

"I have a feeling that the celestial horned snakes still exist," declared Money confidently.

"Um. I hope you'll get a chance to meet them," said Xiang Shaoyun.

While the two conversed, Lady Shura was fully focused on refining the draconic aura. Her own draconic aura started growing, smoothly pushing her into the fifth stage, becoming a fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator.

At the moment of her breakthrough, a piece of information suddenly surfaced in her brain, causing her expression to turn odd. It almost looked as if she had been possessed. However, that expression quickly vanished, and she returned to normal again.

At a certain location not too far away from them was a black silhouette sneering while muttering, "Lure Xiang Shaoyun over. I will personally capture him and turn him into my strongest puppet."

Then, the black silhouette vanished into thin air, becoming completely undetectable.

After Lady Shura stopped her cultivation session, Xiang Shaoyun had a joyful look as he said, "Not bad at all. You managed to reach the late fifth stage in one go. Looks like you haven't wasted any of the draconic aura."

"My apologies for holding you up, Overlord. Let's start hunting," said Lady Shura. She pointed in a certain direction and continued, "I once discovered an ancient stele in that direction. However, the devilish plants were too powerful, so I wasn't able to approach. Why don't we go take a look? Maybe no one has found it yet."

"Haha, sure, let us go," said Xiang Shaoyun with a chortle.

Although the treasures on an ancient stele wouldn't be comparable with the treasures in the secret cave, they were still decently valuable. The group of three started traveling in the direction indicated by Lady Shura. Money was already a peak Emperor. Xiang Shaoyun was not going to allow him to continue slacking in the astral cosmos sea. He felt that Money needed more tempering to become an even stronger demonic beast.

About half a day later, the group arrived at a territory of steepdevil flowers. The steepdevil flowers were incredibly beautiful. Each flower would grow into a different shape, and each petal was gorgeously colored. From a distance, the place looked like a sea of flowers with all sorts of color, an incredibly intoxicating sight.

If one was unaware that these were actually devilish plants, one would definitely be charmed to enter the territory before being devoured by the flowers.

"The ancient stele is at the depths of the sea of flowers," said Lady Shura.

"There are a lot of steepdevil flowers here. It won't be easy getting rid of them, but it won't be too difficult for us," said Xiang Shaoyun. He unleashed Yun Flame and launched several fiery palms that burned the field of flowers.

However, the steepdevil flowers weren't as simple as they looked. They collectively started releasing a poisonous mist that resisted the flame and prevented the fire from spreading.

"You're only some plants, so you stand no chance. Just die," said Xiang Shaoyun as he used the profundity of flame, causing his flame to burn even more furiously. After setting the flowers on fire, he created a gale that caused the fire to spread even farther.

Right that moment, a terrifying steepdevil flower king appeared from amid the flowers. It pulsed with an odd energy that pushed back against the fire.
