A streak of black light broke through the sky from afar, descending above a valley.

Big Black Cat looked down at the entire valley, which was shrouded in black mist. Booming sounds echoed in his ears; it seemed that countless individuals were engaged in fierce combat within the mist.

"The Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass really is here!" Big Black Cat turned his head, a look of both shock and joy on his face as he watched the image displayed on the Heavenly Spirit Mirror in Kitten's hand.

A stalk of Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass stood perfectly intact on the ground, swaying gently with the breeze and casting a faint immortal glow. Surrounding it were not only a large number of Ghost Lice but also eight Giant Demon Yam Flowers, encircling it tightly.

"Huh, what's that?" Big Black Cat suddenly noticed some red tubes among the Ghost Lice, wriggling continuously like earthworms.

"Those are Red Blood Earthworms!" Kitten's expression changed upon seeing the red, tube-like creatures.

"Red Blood Earthworms?" Big Black Cat paused, looking at Kitten in confusion.

"Big Brother, don't underestimate these Red Blood Earthworms. Although they seem harmless, they're actually ranked among the top three most bizarre creatures in the Nine Soul Underground Palace!" Kitten hastily explained.

"Are they really that formidable?" Big Black Cat furrowed his brow, looking at the image in the Heavenly Spirit Mirror with an expression of disbelief. The Red Blood Earthworms are only about ten meters long and half a meter thick, smooth all over, without a single fang. How can they be so frightening? Top three most bizarre creatures? Isn't that an overstatement?

"The Red Blood Earthworms are said to be undying. They resist fire and water, fear no weapons, and even if cut into hundreds of pieces, they can instantly reform. If one gets close to you, it will burrow into your body, drain all your blood, and devour your internal organs…" Kitten said, her face full of terror.

"That formidable?" Upon hearing this, Big Black Cat's expression turned grim. He stared intently at the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, contemplating how to seize this Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass. The difficulty this time is hellish.

After thinking for a few seconds, Big Black Cat had an idea. This time, it's not just extremely difficult for me, but for the other members of the Demon Clan too. To get this Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass, even if the Golden Winged Roc came, it would be hard to succeed with a sneak attack like last time.

Big Black Cat landed on a rock, pulling Kitten along with him. He sat down cross-legged, his eyes half-closed, watching the Heavenly Spirit Mirror while beginning to refine the Teleportation Boots.

"Big Brother, aren't we going to fight for the Eternal Life Immortal Grass?" Kitten urged from the side.

"No need to rush. Let them fight for a while…" Big Black Cat shook his head. While refining the Teleportation Boots, he kept a close watch on the Heavenly Spirit Mirror. I can't relax now; I must stay vigilant for any unexpected changes.

「Half a day soon passed.」

The battle in the valley was still as intense as before. The booming sounds were incessant, and the great demons fought so fiercely that the heavens themselves seemed to dim.

A golden figure suddenly sped from the distance, stopping above the valley.

"The Dragon Lord is here!" Kitten cautioned.

Big Black Cat glanced upward, his pupils constricting slightly. I can't believe the Dragon Lord, the one I least wanted to see, showed up again. However, he was no longer afraid of the Dragon Lord. He was now at the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm, and his physical body, having been tempered by the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass, had strengthened dozens of times. If he were to fight the Dragon Lord again, even if he wasn't his match, he wouldn't be much weaker. My speed is something the Dragon Lord can't possibly match. After half a day of refining, his control over the Teleportation Boots had improved significantly. This means I'm even faster now. If that Golden Winged Roc shows up again, I can definitely catch it with the Teleportation Boots.

Dragon Lord hovered in mid-air, looking towards the valley. He quickly discovered the Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass within it.

"There's another one!" A hint of a smile touched Dragon Lord's grim face. He had thought the previous Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass was unique. It seemed there was no shortage of Nine-leaf Longevity Immortal Grass in the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

"Hm…" Dragon Lord suddenly sensed something and looked in a particular direction. He then noticed a black-robed young man and a red-clad young woman sitting on a rock.

It's the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat! Seeing the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, a surge of anger welled up in Dragon Lord's heart once again.

"Did you obtain that Eternal Life Immortal Grass?" Dragon Lord slowly approached Big Black Cat from mid-air.

"Dragon Lord, don't spout nonsense! You saw what happened; it was the Golden Winged Roc that took the Eternal Life Immortal Grass!" Big Black Cat stood up and retorted confidently.

"Is that so?" Dragon Lord stopped about ten zhang away, staring coldly at the two of them with a threatening aura. "This Eternal Life Immortal Grass is not fated for you. Get lost!"

"To hell with you! The heavenly treasures in the Nine Soul Underground Palace belong to those destined to find them. Since when did they become your exclusive property, Dragon Lord?" Big Black Cat's face hardened as he shot back, showing Dragon Lord no deference whatsoever.

"Are you seeking death?" Dragon Lord slowly raised his right hand, revealing golden dragon claws.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight! Don't act so high and mighty just because you're at the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm!" Big Black Cat sneered.

Hearing this, Dragon Lord's eyes narrowed, a look of shock flashing across his face. Only now did he realize that the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat before him had broken through to the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm. But he clearly remembered him being only at the seventh layer before. How did this fellow break through to the tenth layer in just half a day?

Dragon Lord stood silently in mid-air. This Nine-tailed Spirit Cat is extremely bizarre and mysterious. Even if I go all out, I might not be able to kill him on the spot.

While Dragon Lord hesitated, two more streaks of light flew over from the distance, landing nearby. It was the Nine-tailed Fox Demon and the Golden Striped Black Tiger.

"Well, well, if it isn't the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat! Enemies are truly destined to meet. Where do you think you're running this time?" Seeing the two figures in the distance, a thrilled expression appeared on the Nine-tailed Fox Demon's charming face.

Over the past half-day, she and the Golden Striped Black Tiger had been extremely lucky, obtaining several stalks of Seven-leaf Immortal Grass. The two of them consumed these stalks of Seven-leaf Immortal Grass, and their physical bodies were now even stronger. Consequently, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon felt full of confidence facing the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat.

"Nine-tailed Fox Demon, since you also hold a grudge against him, why don't we team up and kill him?" Dragon Lord said coldly.

The Nine-tailed Fox Demon was stunned. She hadn't expected the usually arrogant and proud Dragon Lord to suggest an alliance. Naturally, she was more than happy to agree. "Alright, then let's join forces and eliminate this scoundrel!" she exclaimed joyfully.

The Golden Striped Black Tiger drew his great saber, and a dense black light erupted from his body.

"Big Brother…" Kitten's face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid!" Big Black Cat chuckled coldly. He suddenly grabbed Kitten's hand, activated the Teleportation Boots at full power, transformed into a streak of black light, and plunged headfirst into the mist within the Black Mountain Valley.

Dragon Lord, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, and the Golden Striped Black Tiger—the three great demons—were momentarily stunned. The valley is fraught with peril. If the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat flees there, won't he just die even faster?
