Chapter 1037: The Sky Shrouding Giant Toad

"Gasp..."

The young man was so shocked that he took a sharp breath, something he had never seen or heard of in his life!

The demon before him was lifeless, yet the residual aura was still so powerful. It was definitely not an ordinary demon. If he had encountered it, he would have had to engage in a fierce battle for several rounds.

He couldn't believe that such a powerful demon could be so easily killed and discarded.

It looked easier than killing a chicken!

This was terrifying!

What kind of being was that black shadow?

Could it be... an ancient true dragon?!

The young man's eyes widened in shock as he stared warily at the massive shadow in the black mist.

Qing Yin Xianyun and the old man were slightly calmer, but their expressions were also grave. They clenched their fists hidden in their sleeves, their entire bodies enveloped in pressure.

Finally, the rumbling sound came again!

"Boom!"

The sound was even clearer this time, and the tremors from the ground spread through their entire bodies.

The massive shadow in the sky moved again, and another giant demon corpse was flung far away.

As the shadow moved, an even larger silhouette began to emerge from the black mist, towering like a mountain range, blocking out the sky!

Just seeing that shadow, all three of them were stunned.

An unprecedented sense of oppression swept over them, tightening their nerves to the breaking point.

"Boom!!!"

The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, and they felt as if the ground beneath their feet was surging like waves.

From within the black mist, a colossal creature the size of an island finally stepped out, fully revealing itself to their sight.

The shadow that had been dancing like a dragon was actually just a snake's head?

A snake's head that was thousands of feet long!

At that moment, it coiled around a demon and sent it into its sky-shrouding mouth.

"Crunch!"

A chilling sound echoed as the demon, several feet tall, was swallowed whole.

In an instant, it was spat back out.

The mangled corpse and limbs crashed heavily to the ground, creating another deep crater. The demon, which had seemed so large, now appeared incredibly small in front of the massive shadow, not even enough to fill its teeth.

Witnessing this horrifying scene, even the old man's throat moved involuntarily.

"Gulp..."

The young man's face had turned pale, and his voice trembled as he transmitted his thoughts.

"That shadow... is it actually a toad?"

There was no response, only silence all around.

Even Qing Yin Xianyun, who was usually calm and composed, had a drastic change in expression, her delicate fists clenched tightly within her sleeves.

In front of the sky-shrouding giant toad, even the demons seemed insignificant. The three of them were like mere grains of sand, completely overwhelmed by fear and awe.

Qing Yin Xianyun was so stunned that she didn't dare to release even a trace of her aura.

The three of them hid behind a giant boulder, looking up.

The terrifying giant toad continued to move forward, taking another earth-shaking step.

"Boom!!!"

Its thousand-foot-long tongue swept across the ground, and several demon corpses were swept up and tossed into its gaping mouth. The chilling sound of chewing echoed through the heavens and the earth.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

A pile of broken limbs and torsos were spat out, crashing to the ground like meteors.

This...

This!

The young man was completely dumbfounded, his legs beginning to give way.

He had never imagined that he would encounter such a terrifying being in his lifetime. The demons were being slaughtered so easily, treated like the lowest form of fodder.

The ease with which it devoured them was as casual as cracking sunflower seeds...

What kind of monster was this?!

The old man, who had some experience, wasn't much better off than the young man.

Feeling the constant tremors, his wrinkled face had lost all color.

"What kind of demonic creature is this? How can it be so terrifying?!"

His transmitted voice was filled with nothing but fear.

"Boom!!!"

The sky-shrouding giant toad continued to move forward, the tremors making their feet go numb.

At the same time, their hearts were practically jumping out of their throats.

Hiding beside the giant demon corpse and looking up at the terrifying shadow that reached into the heavens, Qing Yin Xianyun felt her own insignificance. Her knuckles turned white from how tightly she was clenching her fists.

This kind of demonic creature was not something the three of them could provoke.

At this moment, Qing Yin Xianyun was not only consumed by fear but also filled with regret. She hid behind the giant demon corpse, unable to move.

If she had known such a monster existed, she would never have come to investigate.

Even the once-proud daughter of Lanxing was now completely stiff.

Just as her nerves were stretched to the limit, the terrifying giant toad suddenly stopped in its tracks. The giant snake in the sky also ceased its movements, as if it had noticed something.

Thud!

At that moment, all three of their hearts leaped into their throats.

Whoosh!!!

The massive figure that reached into the black clouds began to turn, stirring up a fierce wind around it.

In an instant, its moon-like eyes looked down at them!

Those eyes were utterly indifferent, their lids half-closed, as if they were looking at something as insignificant as ants, showing no interest whatsoever.

But to Qing Yin Xianyun and the other two, those eyes were the epitome of terror.

Within those enormous eyes, it seemed as though there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, as if winter itself had descended. The three of them felt a chill run through their bodies, and the air around them seemed to freeze solid.

With just one glance, Qing Yin Xianyun's beautiful face turned as cold as frost, her delicate body drenched in cold sweat.

"Let's go!"

She didn't hesitate for a second, gritting her teeth as she tore through the void.

The three of them instantly vanished.

When they reappeared, they were sprawled on the flying ship.

Qing Yin Xianyun was gasping for breath, her clear eyes filled with wariness.

The two attendants were lying on the ground, mouths agape as they panted, their backs soaked in cold sweat. The sound of their pounding hearts seemed to reverberate through the ground.

Seeing the three of them suddenly appear, looking as if they had just run ten marathons, Yi Feng frowned slightly and stood up, asking in confusion, "What happened? Did you really encounter some powerful demon?"

But they didn't even acknowledge him, immediately standing up to control the flying ship.

The ship shot forward at full speed, heading in a different direction without a moment's pause, not even bothering to rest.

The urgency of their actions was as if their backsides were on fire.

After what felt like an eternity of frantic flying, the black mist remained as quiet as the dead of night. Only then did the three of them, who had been staring intently at the ship's stern, finally let out a long breath.

"Phew..."

The two men collapsed onto the ground again, looking completely drained, as if they had been through an intense ordeal. Qing Yin Xianyun was slightly better off, but she also had the look of someone who had just narrowly escaped death. She slowly sat down and fell into silence.

Yi Feng was completely baffled by their behavior and curiously approached them.

"What's going on? Did we take the wrong path?"

Hearing his voice, Qing Yin Xianyun looked up, her clear eyes showing obvious apprehension.

"We have to detour around the area ahead. We need to find another way to reach the depths of the Black Domain."

Seeing the nervous expression on the girl's face, Yi Feng was even more puzzled.

"Won't taking a detour waste time?"

The young man, hearing this, walked over and retorted impatiently.

"What do you know? We just encountered a toad earlier, so we had no choice but to take a detour!"

Yi Feng was even more confused.

"A toad? What does that have to do with taking a detour?"

The young man opened his mouth to speak but then seemed to remember something, his face turning pale as his legs gave out and he sat back down on the ground.

"That wasn't an ordinary toad. It was a colossal, sky-shrouding toad!"

"A being like that is definitely not something we can afford to provoke. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you. If you ever encounter something like that, you'd have no chance of survival."

The old man also spoke up warily, constantly glancing back at the black mist behind them.

"Thankfully, Miss acted decisively, or we would have been done for in the Black Domain. I never expected the demons to have such a being. This journey has been far too dangerous..."

With just a few words, all three of them wore grave expressions, their hearts shrouded in a heavy gloom. They urged the flying ship to speed away, their initial confidence upon entering the Black Domain completely gone, replaced only by fear.

Yi Feng looked back, but all he saw was the quiet black mist.

From what he could see, it didn't seem like there was anything terrifying there.

Still skeptical, he could only regretfully follow the ship as it sped away.

Lying on the ship, he muttered to himself, feeling curious about that giant toad.

If there really was such an incredible toad, maybe he could finally succeed in his quest to die.

If he encountered it, perhaps he could achieve his goal of seeking death.
