Chapter 2666: Gold Origin Silver Locust

This is impossible!

The Octopod Gigantus saw one of its giant claws being entangled by the Seven-Colored Essence Gang and immediately panicked. Such a thing had never happened before; what exactly was this seven-colored force? It’s so formidable!

It forcefully shook the giant claw wrapped by the Seven-Colored Essence Gang, instantly causing the surrounding seawater to explode outward, spreading out like a giant mist, but it was useless—it could not break free from the power of the Seven-Colored Essence Gang.

Seeing this situation, it could only continue attacking. Another giant claw reached out in Lin Feng’s direction, and at the same time, it spewed a huge black smoke from its mouth, contaminating the entire seafloor, making it impossible to see anything.

Lin Feng chuckled lightly; this creature was indeed persistent. Then another streak of the Seven-Colored Essence Gang shot out to meet its giant claw, once again wrapping it tightly.

Seeing this, the Octopod Gigantus hesitated not at all and struck towards Lin Feng with another giant claw...

A quarter of an hour later.

All eight giant claws of the Octopod Gigantus were wrapped in Lin Feng’s Seven-Colored Essence Gang. From afar, the Octopod Gigantus looked like a zongzi bound with seven-colored ropes. The Demon Beast then stopped attacking Lin Feng because it had no techniques left to deal with Lin Feng.

Although the eyes of the Octopod Gigantus still emitted a fierce gaze, they were not as arrogant as before. It asked Lin Feng, "What do you intend to do? If you want to kill me, do so."

But it was a Demon Beast with dignity and no matter what would not beg for mercy, despite never having suffered such humiliation before. Being a sort of overlord of the Southern Region all these years, it was the territory’s dominant force even though it was just a Demon Venerable. Here, every demon beast feared it. It never felt such shame before.

Furthermore, it truly couldn’t understand where this person came from. With such powerful strength, why would a human with such capabilities come to the seafloor? Though filled with anger, it dared not act rashly anymore, knowing this human hadn’t used his full strength. Fighting against him any further might cost its life.

"I don’t want to kill you; I just want to ask you some questions," Lin Feng truthfully stated. Indeed, he didn’t intend to harm it. In fact, without his previous augmentations at the Snow Peak Ice Field and Phoenix Ancestral Grounds, defeating this Demon Beast wouldn’t have been so easy, after all, it was already a Demon Venerable. He then continued, "Do you know where the Dragon Clan is?"

The Octopod Gigantus was momentarily stunned. Binding it like this, not for killing, not for the Demon Core, merely for questioning—this person was truly strange. However, it felt a wave of relief. It didn’t expect such luck, encountering a human and narrowly escaping disaster. It then replied, "I’ve heard of them, but you won’t find them."

"Oh?" Lin Feng didn’t understand what the Demon Beast meant by that. What did ’heard of but can’t find’ mean? Could it be that the Dragon Clan wasn’t in the Southern Region after all? Impossible.

"Only heard about it from another Demon Emperor ages ago. That Demon Emperor had accidentally entered the Dragon Clan’s dwelling, entering through a seafloor entrance. But despite remembering its exact location, it couldn’t find it in subsequent visits. Moreover, it hasn’t been discovered since then. Isn’t that strange?" the Octopod Gigantus replied, hoping Lin Feng would honor his word not to kill it.

It was curious why this human sought the Dragon Clan’s dwelling. After all the years in the Southern Region, no one, human or demon beast, dared to explore the Dragon Clan’s territory. It wasn’t even conceivable, yet this person had such audacity.

"If that’s the case, can you tell me where under the sea it is?" Lin Feng inquired further. He hadn’t expected the Octopod Gigantus to provide such useful clues.

"Just keep heading deeper, and you’ll come to the site of a sunken ship. That’s the place. But really, don’t think about it; you surely won’t find it," the Octopod Gigantus kindly advised, casting a pleading glance at Lin Feng, hoping he wouldn’t go back on his word.

Lin Feng felt there was nothing more to ask since the Demon Beast wouldn’t have a reason to lie. He made a gesture, and the Seven-Colored Essence Gang withdrew from the Octopod Gigantus, returning to his body. He looked at the creature and said, "You can go."

Upon hearing this, the Octopod Gigantus fled from Lin Feng’s sight as if escaping, even faster than when it had first arrived...

Shaking his head, Lin Feng continued descending towards the seafloor. He believed he would find the Dragon Clan at the location described by the Octopod Gigantus. He had a premonition, yet soon he sensed a peculiar aura, unusually strong, almost as if pulling him in. He quickened his steps towards the source of this aura.

Before long, an unusual forest appeared before Lin Feng, the seabed seemed darker than before, forcing him to use his Divine Sense to explore. He discovered that this forest was vast, spanning several dozen miles in radius, but having such a forest underwater is truly strange.

Lin Feng grew cautious; he didn’t know what dangers might lurk within the forest, yet for reasons unknown, some energy guided him. He strongly sensed a peculiar aura urging him forward. As he swam toward the forest, only upon entering did he realize that each plant resembled a towering tree, reaching heights of several dozen or even a hundred zhang. It’s not surprising to see such a forest on land, but how could it grow tens of thousands of miles beneath the sea?

Approaching a tree randomly, he examined it closely and was astonished to find that the tree wasn’t wooden at all, thus it couldn’t truly be called a tree. It was entirely composed of special metals, resembling trees only in appearance but made from unique metallic plants. Only then did he comprehend the distinctive aura he sensed was emitted by these metal plants. It was completely unlike any metallic treasure he had seen, and the entire forest was nourished by these metallic treasures.

The metallic aura was noticeably denser at the center of the forest, so Lin Feng followed the aura and arrived at the very heart. There he discovered a tree taller and more flourishing than the others, reaching several hundred zhang high, emitting a faint silver glow. Its leaves were completely dense with silver that illuminated the entire space in silver light.

Just as he was about to approach, countless leaves shot out from the dense tree canopy like sharp arrows, rushing toward Lin Feng with great speed, forming a barrier made of leaves. The tips of the leaves were alarmingly sharp; being struck by them would have disastrous consequences.

At that critical moment, Lin Feng circulated the Seven-Colored Essence Gang within him, instantly creating a protective shield in front of him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

This is!

The silver leaves produced a dense sound as they pierced through the Seven-Colored Essence Gang, unexpectedly slicing it with numerous cracks and immediately passing through. Lin Feng had not anticipated that the silver leaves could break through his Essence Gang, which even failed to stop them.

The moment the leaves penetrated the Essence Gang, it dissipated in the seabed, compelling Lin Feng to ride the waves, leaping to evade the oncoming leaves.

Such an action was unforeseen by him; his curiosity about the tree grew. From the leaves, he sensed an aura capable of counteracting his Essence Gang, a trait he had never encountered before. Meeting such a situation at the seabed truly intrigued him about the identity of this strange tree!

Lin Feng retreated slightly, standing at the edge where he could still feel the tree’s presence and attempted to communicate with it.

He felt strongly that the tree also seemed to have advanced to becoming a Demon Beast, the leaves acting as a self-defense mechanism. Extending his Divine Sense, he endeavored to communicate with the tree, saying, "What kind of tree are you?"

Not long after, the Gold Origin Silver Locust responded to Lin Feng, "How did you know I could answer?"

The voice of Gold Origin Silver Locust echoed deeply, revealing it had never encountered a human capable of communication. Having evolved into a Demon Beast for millions of years, this encounter with a human left it feeling strange.

"Because I’ve seen plants evolve into Demon Beasts," Lin Feng replied. He could clearly sense this Demon Beast was dissimilar to previously encountered Myriad Valleys Ice Banyan, having evolved into a Demon Beast at least a hundred thousand years prior. He further detected an unfamiliar metallic aura emanating from the tree, yet was unsure of its nature.

"What!" The Gold Origin Silver Locust exclaimed upon hearing Lin Feng recount tales of other plants evolving into Demon Beasts, then asked in surprise, "Where?"

"In the southern sea region—I’ve seen banyans evolve into Demon Beasts on the Snow Peak Ice Field, and a Spirit Grass evolve into one on Shuangcheng Island," Lin Feng replied simply.

The answer left Gold Origin Silver Locust feeling helpless, for it had no knowledge of these locations, having never left the seabed. Then its demeanor shifted to an unexpected coldness, suddenly remembering Lin Feng had intruded on its territory, questioning, "Why have you come here?"

"I sensed your aura from afar and wanted to understand this metallic aura’s nature, which is why I sought you out," Lin Feng explained to Gold Origin Silver Locust. As he drew closer to the great tree, the sensation intensified, revealing a unique metallic aura he’d never experienced. Quickly, he had an idea—taking a space seedling from Lower Realm and offering it to Gold Origin Silver Locust.

Seeing Lin Feng present the tree seed, the Gold Origin Silver Locust was puzzled by its nature. Extending a branch imbued with dazzling silver light like a hand towards Lin Feng, it gently tapped the seed, perceiving its intrinsic Origin Power yet aware of its frailty. Curiosity piqued, it wrapped the branch around the seedling, taking it away.
