A cultivator who could change the world—to the Snow Mosquitos, this was an invincible great cultivator in their inherited memories. But strangely, it felt that this divine sense was not as powerful as the legends said.
In fact, it was very similar to the human Foundation Establishment cultivator it had fought on the snow plains. So it and some other more intelligent Snow Mosquitos slowly began to realize that this should be the internal space of a powerful magical treasure.
That human cultivator was just able to drive and use this magical treasure. So one day, when they became powerful, they could still kill this person and fight their way back to the snow plains.
The entire Snow Mosquito colony had no idea of the existence of other spaces outside the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. They believed the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was everything. They only knew that the space they were in was very large, with a strict hierarchical distribution, and they were on the lowest level.
So next, this Snow Mosquito began to slowly adapt to life in the "Earth-Spot." And to its surprise, it found that its strength was actually at the top among these nearly one thousand Snow Mosquitos.
Looking at the female Snow Mosquitos, which made up the majority of the population, the dozens of strongest male Snow Mosquitos couldn't help but have a strong fighting spirit in their eyes. They had originally been just ordinary members of the huge Snow Mosquito colony on the snow plains, but now they had the opportunity to dominate a territory.
What followed were rounds of endless slaughter. This Snow Mosquito was severely injured several times and was on the verge of death, but it managed to survive by a fluke each time.
In the end, by a stroke of luck, it was the first to discover an ice throne that had an aura very similar to the snow plains. And when it lay on it, not only could its injuries recover quickly, but its strength also improved significantly after each healing session.
This made it overjoyed. Just like that, after its injuries had healed quickly, while the other fighting Snow Mosquitos were still in a severely injured state, this Snow Mosquito no longer gave the other equally powerful Snow Mosquitos a chance to heal.
It went directly to them and killed them one by one. In this cycle of slaughter and cultivation, after repeatedly absorbing those mysterious auras, it actually upgraded all the way to Tier-2.
In the end, it became the most powerful existence in this Snow Mosquito colony, the only Mosquito King. And the wonderful use of the ice throne was soon discovered by other Snow Mosquitos, but it was too late.
Due to the strict hierarchical system among Demonic Beasts, the ice throne was divided accordingly. The part near the paulownia tree branch was monopolized by this Snow Mosquito.
Other places were only allowed to be used by some stronger Snow Mosquitos. As a result, it became stronger and stronger, and the gap between it and the other Snow Mosquitos grew wider and wider.
But just as it was feeling complacent, thinking that not only could it become the king here, but it would also one day lead its colony back to the snow plains and break into the higher-level spaces above, an accident occurred. The thing it cared about most repeatedly disappeared. Just as it was furiously searching everywhere, the aura of that thing would reappear unknowingly, which made it very angry.
Once that mysterious aura disappeared, the cultivation speed that the entire ice throne brought to the Mosquito King and the others instantly became much smaller, making their cultivation seem very slow.
The Mosquito King had also thought of taking that mysterious object out of the ice throne, but it did not understand formation restrictions. Obviously, that thing was sealed inside by some kind of restriction, and it was not something it could take out.
For a moment, the Mosquito King did not dare to use brute force to destroy the ice throne. In that case, it might end up with nothing. And it believed that it probably did not have the ability to destroy this huge ice throne.
What made it feel most indignant was that the mysterious aura, as the number of disappearances increased, although it could still return after a period of time, the aura was getting weaker and weaker.
It was clear that the resources within were being used by someone else. The first person it thought of was the human Foundation Establishment cultivator who had entered here before, judging that this person was responsible for everything.
However, after Li Yan had passed through the Flame Palace passage, his strength had long since taken a great leap. Often, the Snow Mosquitos had not sensed anything unusual before that mysterious thing had already disappeared without a trace.
When the Mosquito King had fought Li Yan, although Li Yan was much stronger than each of them, he could not come and go without a trace like this. So during the time when Li Yan frequently used the "Melting Bamboo Shoot" to escape on the Sea of the Northern Abyss, the Mosquito King was almost jumping with rage, but there was nothing it could do.
Today, it finally saw Li Yan, but to the Snow Mosquito King's sorrow, the current Li Yan was an unbeatable existence. Although it was unwilling to be refined, in the end, it could only helplessly submit. For a Snow Mosquito King like it, the blow was a heavy one.
From the bottom of its heart, it was unwilling to admit that this ruthless baleful star, in just under two short years, had become so powerful. It was now a Tier-2 Demonic Beast too, you know.
Although the other party's aura was still that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, even with this lukewarm feeling, the Mosquito King was grabbed by someone and had no ability to resist at all.
What was even more infuriating was that now it was being ridiculed by a soul beast of unknown species and without a physical body, saying things it couldn't understand. But the Mosquito King saw the expression on the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant's face. Whatever the situation was, it understood, so how could it not be angry?
"Hehehe, your bloodline is in chaos, and you still won't admit it? Let me see, you have the auras of the 'Bloodthirsty Illusion Wolf' and the 'Ice Crystal Spider' on you. Hmm, and the soul fluctuation of the 'Profound Crystal Mosquito' is the strongest...
I told you you're a Mutt. The more noble a Demonic Beast is, the purer its bloodline. Your bloodline is so chaotic, what are you if not a Mutt?"
As the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant spoke, it became more and more surprised in its heart. Although it was true that the more powerful a Demonic Beast's bloodline was, the purer it was, the several bloodlines in the Snow Mosquito before it were already in a state of mutually dissolving impurities and preserving commonalities. Perhaps in another ten thousand years, the Snow Mosquito colony could truly successfully mutate and become a brand-new intermediate, or even high-level, Demonic Beast colony.
Although the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant had seen before that this Snow Mosquito was a new Demonic Beast species born from the mutation of several kinds of souls, it had not observed it carefully.
Now, looking closely, it was also impressed. Perhaps because the impurities in the other party's bloodline had already begun to be purified, it could only see the auras of the three remaining Demonic Beasts on the Snow Mosquito. Although these three Demonic Beasts were not top-tier races in its era, they were still intermediate to high-level Demonic Beasts.
Li Yan, listening to the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant's narration, couldn't help but be moved. Although he was not good at commanding Demonic Beasts, he had dabbled in many classics and jade slips related to Demonic Beasts during his leisure time in the Malevolent Spirit Sect.
As long as it did not involve advanced Demonic Beast refining techniques, but only introduced the origins and characteristics of various Demonic Beasts, the jade slips of the Spirit Insect Peak were still open to the disciples of the other peaks. This could enhance the knowledge of the Malevolent Spirit Sect disciples and was also beneficial to their own cultivation.
The three Demonic Beasts mentioned by the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant were also very powerful races on this continent tens of thousands of years ago. Of course, this was under the circumstance that top-tier Demonic Beast races like the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant had already disappeared.
But often, the inheritance of powerful Demonic Beast races was very difficult. They adhered to their own set of rules and did not like to be flexible, so they would slowly disappear in the long river of history.
Or the few remaining colonies had already entered rarely seen regions in search of a suitable living environment for themselves.
"I can't believe the Snow Mosquito race is derived from at least three kinds of Vicious Souls. Then who was the first-generation master of the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda?"
"Does that mean he should be at least a Spirit Transformation cultivator, and even far beyond this realm? Otherwise, how could so many powerful Demonic Beasts appear in the pagoda? And now, many areas in the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, even Nascent Souls cannot set foot in to explore."
"Or... perhaps the senior who refined the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda had an even higher cultivation?"
Li Yan couldn't help but be startled by his own speculation. Although the strongest cultivator he had seen was Dong Fuyi, that was only a wisp of divine will and didn't leave him with too much of a shock.
But the current Li Yan was no longer the ignorant youth he was about to cultivation. He knew what a cultivator after the Golden Core realm represented. They were beings that could dominate this continent, true immortals that could roam the heavens and the earth.
In fact, Li Yan didn't even know what the true magical power of a Nascent Soul cultivator was like. He had only, by chance, seen Ancestor Huwei and Shuang Qingqing make a slight move. One of them had never truly displayed their divine arts, and the other, even as a remnant soul, the divine arts she displayed had already left Li Yan in awe.
Now, thinking that the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda might be so powerful that it no longer belonged to the category of things that could exist in the mortal realm, Li Yan himself was startled.
Being loudly called a "Mutt" by the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant, on one side, Li Yan's thoughts were racing, while on the other side, the Snow Mosquito, which had been full of anger, after hearing the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant's later words, it was a bit confused for a moment.
Because the names of the three Demonic Beasts mentioned by the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant, it had never even heard of. But after hearing them for the first time today, it felt a strange sense of familiarity.
It was not a stupid Demonic Beast. With its intelligence greatly opened, it immediately confirmed that the other party was telling the truth. The Mosquito King couldn't help but ask stammeringly, "Then... then... then where are these three Demonic Beasts in the pagoda?"
For a moment, it actually had a feeling of wanting to find its ancestors. But when it asked this question, it also stunned the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant for a moment before it reacted.
It turned out that even now, this Snow Mosquito King still thought it was in the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.
Seeing the Snow Mosquito King's anger suddenly disappear and it asking this question in a daze, the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but let out another soft "chi" laugh.
"It seems you feel that the names of these Demonic Beasts I mentioned are very familiar. I say, Mutt, you... still in which level of the pagoda? Hehe, ridiculous, ridiculous. Also, why should I tell you where they are? Who do you think your Grandpa Elephant is, that you can ask whatever you want?"
"You..." The Snow Mosquito King's originally eager eyes, after being rebuffed by the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant and being called "Mutt" again and again, couldn't help but get angry again.
And it really did feel a bloodline suppression from the unknown Demonic Beast before it, which made it feel as if it couldn't raise its head, as if it were several levels lower in front of it.
The Snow Mosquito King's ancestors had never left the Northern Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, so it only knew a few types of Demonic Beasts. It really didn't know the origin of the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant. Besides, it really had a lot of questions in its heart, so for a moment, it didn't dare to offend the Purple Divine Dragon-Elephant too much.
