Museum of Deadly Beasts

They had been searching for a while, but all the other villainous immortals were too weak. Aside from Yan Shenjun, no one else was a profound immortal, and they needed a profound immortal realm expert to deal with Lin Jin.

“There must be something down there. If Yan Shenjun died there, it’d be a waste to leave his magic treasures behind. Let’s go and take a look.” The cult leader was in a foul mood. They previously had a good force, but because they tried to fight Lin Jin, all of his cult’s experts died, leaving him all alone.

So the cult leader now resented two people. Lin Jin and Patriarch Xue Pao. Yet, he still had to rely on Patriarch Xue Pao to get things done so he could only aggrieve himself. Hence the foul mood.

Patriarch Xue Pao nodded upon hearing the cult leader’s intent to venture down there. He had thought the same.

Both were profound immortal level so they were quite powerful. Despite knowing it might be dangerous, they were confident that they could come and go as they pleased here.

And so, they flew down the underground tunnel.

Three days later, loud rumbles erupted from beneath the plasma pool. Malicious aura shot up, alarming the entire extraterritorial land.

A large spider broke through from the cave’s entrance and crawled out.

The person controlling the spider was an immortal with his lower body being eaten by a huge snake. For some reason, after the snake ate half of this immortal’s body, it actually merged with the human to become a half-snake half-human monster.

Although his lower body was a large snake, the immortal moved swiftly. With his upper body bare, one could notice snake scales under his skin. The man had disheveled hair and his gaze was that of intense evil.

If Lin Jin was here, he could easily recognize this half-human half-snake monster.

Yan Shenjun!

“Hahahaha!”

The man cackled savagely after emerging from the cave.

“Lin Jin, Inferno Monk, you probably never expected this, did you? That I, Yan Shenjun, not only survived but even received a blessing in disguise, succeeding the Saint’s legacy. Now that I am free, your deaths will be near!”

The half-human half-snake monster was none other than Yan Shenjun who previously ventured into the plasma pool’s underground cave.

Another person climbed out of the cave after Yan Shenjun. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be Patriarch Xue Pao.

However, the latter now wore an expression of terror as if he had seen something traumatizing just now. He was also thoroughly respectful toward the monster-like Yan Shenjun.

“Shenjun, I have a grudge against Lin Jin as well and I am willing to serve you in your cause.”

This was a display of loyalty.

Patriarch Xue Pao couldn’t help it. He was fortunate enough to live but the cult leader wasn’t so lucky. Things had been smooth when they first entered the cave. There were no obstacles until they encountered the heaven weaving spider.

Both of them were simply caught by the spider and brought further underground.

Then, the cult leader was swallowed by Yan Shenjun as a food supply. Patriarch Xue Pao only survived because he was clever enough to shout for mercy in time and revealed the purpose of their presence.

Patriarch Xue Pao had requested Shenjun to defeat Lin Jin.

Clever as he was, Patriarch Xue Pao had voiced out Yan Shenjun’s greatest concern so he survived. The pitiful cult leader didn’t even get the chance to speak and was already devoured whole.

One must know that the cult leader was a profound immortal too but was swallowed whole by Yan Shenjun like prey. Even Patriarch Xue Pao couldn’t withstand the scene. It was bound to give him nightmares from now on.

But after this round of shock and survival, Patriarch Xue Pao came to realize this might be his chance. Yan Shenjun was far different compared to what they had heard about. The man had succeeded a saint’s legacy and his strength had now exceeded unfettered immortal realm, perhaps more. He was definitely much stronger than the cult leader.

Hence, Yan Shenjun was surely a much better partner compared to the cult leader.

This was a good thing.

Patriarch Xue Pao’s only concern now was wondering what value he could offer so that Yan Shenjun wouldn’t eat him too.

Upon reemerging, Yan Shenjun couldn’t wait to take revenge on Lin Jin. He learned from Patriarch Xue Pao that Lin Jin had returned to the mainland so he intended to head over there with the heaven weaving spider right now.

“Shenjun, I have a magic treasure that can conceal the sun and block off all aura so that the immortal devouring beast can’t detect us,” Patriarch Xue Pao said, offering the magic treasure.

Only by revealing value could he keep his life.

Yet, Yan Shenjun merely scoffed. He grabbed Patriarch Xue Pao and flew out of the extraterritorial land, out of the miasma barrier.

The heaven weaving spider followed beside them, serving as Yan Shenjun’s guard and obeyed his every command.

Then, the immortal devouring beast’s claw came down from above. Yan Shenjun simply faced it head-on without fear. Patriarch Xue Pao was scared witless, trembling all over. Yet, he had control over nothing right now.

Loud battle clashes continuously thundered, and shortly after, Yan Shenjun escaped in defeat. He scurried back to the extraterritorial land with the immortal devouring beast pursuing them close behind.

The extraterritorial land was affected by this with many loose immortals dying in between. After three days of chaos, while Yan Shenjun hid, the immortal devouring beast lingered outside for a little more before returning to the nine heavens since it couldn’t detect any immortal aura.

The tragedy in the extraterritorial land finally came to an end.

Only, this place was now a mess. Yan Shenjun was badly hurt in his face-off with the immortal devouring beast and he didn’t even have the upper hand once.

He had actually broken a record by lasting three days after fighting the immortal devouring beast and then escaping its pursuit. No one had achieved such a feat before.

Patriarch Xue Pao complimented Yan Shenjun on this when he had the chance. Then, Yan Shenjun came to realize that his target was actually to kill Lin Jin and Inferno Monk instead of fighting the immortal devouring beast.

After all, the immortal devouring beast destroyed immortal cultivation itself. It even killed the immortal emperor so the creature was practically invincible.

Being able to fight it briefly and survive its pursuit for three days proved how strong Yan Shenjun was.

From this aspect, he was now only second to the immortal devouring beast. Aside from the immortal devouring beast, he was invincible.

With this thought in mind, Yan Shenjun became delighted.

He looked to Patriarch Xue Pao and said, “Give me that aura-concealing magic treasure you previously mentioned.”

Patriarch Xue Pao presented the Hell’s Cage immediately with both hands and told Yan Shenjun how to use it.

“Hmph, at least you’re sensible. If you handed me the magic treasure without telling me the activation method, I would’ve killed you on the spot,” Yan Shenjun said, revealing his mouthful of sharp teeth. Patriarch Xue Pao’s scalp prickled at the sight and he quickly knelt on the floor. “My loyalty for you will be proven with time.. I have no ulterior motives.”
