“This is an Ancient Demon Frog!” Li Qingshan whispered.
Xia Wuji widened his eyes and exclaimed, “This Demon Frog seems both real and illusory.”
Li Qingshan slowly approached, observing closely.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently. He saw the other half of the Demon Frog.
It was missing.
Yes, to the astonishment of Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji, this Demon Frog standing on the dam only had half of its body.
The reason it was hidden in the darkness of the universe, appearing and disappearing, was because it only had half a body.
The other half was gone.
It seemed as if it had been cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The Demon Frog had not died but had survived in a mutilated state.
Its severed wounds were still bleeding profusely. Even after countless ages, the wounds had not healed, as if they had just been inflicted. Fresh, red flesh was wriggling, trying to regenerate, but without the other half, the Demon Frog couldn’t recover.
“With only half a body, its aura is still this terrifying?” Xia Wuji exclaimed in amazement.
“This is a Venerable!” Li Qingshan said solemnly.
Only a Venerable could have such a terrifying aura even after losing half their body.
“Why is it here?” Xia Wuji asked curiously.
“It’s imprisoned here,” Li Qingshan replied, pointing to a divine chain around the Demon Frog’s leg, binding it in place.
Bound here.
“How terrifying, a Venerable cleaved in two, with one half missing and the other bound here to endure eternal torment. Who could have done this?” Xia Wuji exclaimed in wonder.
“Do you want to know?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Of course,” Xia Wuji nodded eagerly.
“But how can we know who this Demon Frog is?” Xia Wuji asked Li Qingshan.
“Simple,” Li Qingshan replied, striding forward confidently.
“Just ask it directly.” Xia Wuji heard Li Qingshan’s answer, was taken aback for a moment, and then followed him nervously.
Boom boom boom!
As Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji approached the Demon Frog, the dense aura around it rolled like storm clouds, surging like a raging sea, sweeping toward them with overwhelming force.
Thump!
But Li Qingshan took a step forward, standing firm like a stabilizing needle, directly neutralizing the surging aura and suppressing the tumultuous momentum.
In an instant, the air became calm.
Li Qingshan calmly looked at the Demon Frog.
The Demon Frog trembled, slowly opening one eye to look down at Li Qingshan, like a dragon staring at an ant.
“Who are you? How dare you disturb your Demon Frog grandfather’s sleep?” the Demon Frog roared, its voice lazy and loud, as if it had just awoken from a long slumber.
“I’m from the Immortal Plane, greets the Demon Frog,” Li Qingshan said respectfully.
“Immortal Plane…” The Demon Frog murmured, recalling ancient memories buried under dust.
“I remember now, a group from the Immortal Plane once came to breach the dam. They promised me freedom if I helped them, saying they could break the dam with my assistance,” the Demon Frog recalled, its eye fixed on Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji.
Xia Wuji’s face lit up, and he immediately said, “The leader of that group was my master, the Kunlun Immortal.”
He was happy because this Demon Frog had a connection to his master and the Ancient Celestial Court.
He was considered a junior as well.
But before he could rejoice, the Demon Frog’s eye glared at him, its voice thunderous, “So you are the disciple of that Kunlun Immortal. He deceived me, claiming he could destroy the dam and grant me freedom, but it was all nonsense.”
“The dam wasn’t destroyed, and they were all killed, leaving me to suffer. Because of my involvement in that war, I was cleaved in half, my cultivation fell, and I am still trapped here. I despise your master; he was a scoundrel. I thought I could never take revenge, but now his disciple has delivered himself to me.”
The Demon Frog’s expression turned sinister, and it laughed maniacally, feeling vindicated.
Xia Wuji’s smile froze.
He had intended to establish a connection, confirming his seniority and seeking guidance from the Demon Frog.
Unexpectedly, he had instead made a formidable enemy.
Xia Wuji was crestfallen.
He looked at the Demon Frog, whose aura was getting more terrifying, and turned to look at Li Qingshan.
“Brother, save me!”
Li Qingshan looked at the Demon Frog and asked, “If the others perished during the assault on the dam, why were you only cleaved in half?”
“Hmph, I am the Cosmic Demon Frog, from a higher civilization. They dared not kill me, only imprison me here. If I die, the higher civilization will notice and descend, destroying everything,” the Demon Frog snorted, proud and haughty.
A Cosmic Demon Frog from a higher civilization.
Li Qingshan pondered. This Demon Frog’s background was significant enough that the civilization behind the dam dared not kill it.
