Return Of the Great Demon God
ch-23 Against Illusion Worms

After walking for a few minutes Mo Shen finally arrived at a lake covered by fog, the fog that enveloped the lake was quite thick and also Mo Shen sensed the spiritual energy from the fog.

"So this is the Mist Lake that they are talking about" said Mo Shen.

"It is only fitting that the cultivators who come here cannot return safely, it turns out that this fog has a function to create illusions. But a lowly illusion like this cannot deter me" Mo Shen said again as he walked through the fog.

Arriving at Mo Shen within the fog he casually walked over like he was not affected at all by the illusion, not to forget Mo Shen also flowed his spiritual energy into Mo Lang so that he would not be exposed to that illusion as well.

After walking for a few minutes Mo Shen and Mo Lang finally reached the outskirts of the lake. The edge of the lake is not foggy even the fog looks like it is protecting the lake.

"Hmmm it looks like this lake is hiding something interesting. I will check for myself what is in this lake until it is protected by the mist of illusion" said Mo Shen.

After examining a number of several minutes Mo Shen found nothing interesting other than the natural Qi energy here that was a little more concentrated than out there.

"Arrhh has been looking for a long time but there is nothing interesting about this fund other than its more concentrated natural Qi energy, is there really anything valuable in this lake?" mo Shen said with a little frustration.

Amidst his frustration, a huge shadow was seen from within the lake like it wanted to prey on Mo Shen. After a long wait the shadow immediately lunged out and opened his mouth wide.

Sensing the existence of danger, Mo Shen immediately jumped from his place to sniff. The big shadow that emerged from the lake was a large beast that was shaped like a worm but its body was very large. The worm has a length of about 120 meters with a width of 30 meters.

"Ho ho turns out that inhabiting and creating illusions in this lake is an illusion worm. It is only fitting that the cultivators who came before were unable to withstand the illusion of that fog" Mo Shen said

Illusion worms are included in the ranks of dangerous illusion-type beasts, because the illusion will directly attack into the brains of their prey so that those exposed to the illusion of this illusionary worm will go crazy.

While the illusion worm that was in front of Mo Shen was now at the 3rd level of the Heavenly realm, of course it was already a nightmare for the residents of the Mist Lake city because the strongest person in their city was merely an ancestor of the city lord family who was at the 7th level of the Heavenly Core realm.

"Will but why would this worm be able to cultivate to the 3rd level of the Heavenly realm? Although the Qi energy within this lake was slightly more concentrated than out there it was impossible for him to reach the Heavenly realm, there must be a treasure that helped him to arrive at this Heavenly realm, and the treasure I have to get at any cost" Mo Shen said at length in his heart.

"Loves like this will be very troublesome if I'm alone, it seems like it's time for us to work together for the first time, Xiao Lang" Mo Shen said as he looked at Mo Lang.

Hearing his old words made Mo Lang very excited because this was the first time he would fight with his old man so he immediately returned to his original form of a big wolf with his fur in blackish red.

Immediately tampa the long piki, Mo Shen and Mo Lang charged towards the illusionary worm. Mo Shen who was now holding a purple level sword that was red in color with a dragon complexion in his hilt, whereas for Mo Lang he was only relying on his claws and mouth to attack.

Due to the sizable illusory worm body, Mo Shen and Mo Lang ran around his body while giving attacks bit by bit.

After a few minutes of fighting, the illusionary worm was unable to give Mo Shen and Mo Lang a single strike, whereas the two of them had given countless wounds to the body of the illusionary worm.

Mo Lang who was hit by the attack on his soul instantly spewed out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. Mo Shen was also hit by the attack but he was still fine, due to his extremely strong soul defense. Although he was currently in the physical body of a mortal man, his soul was still a god, so the attack from the illusionary worm that was now at the 3rd level of the Heavenly realm would naturally not work on him.

"Xiao Lang!"

Seeing his companion being exposed to a soul attack from the illusionary worm, Mo Shen immediately rushed to heal him, he drained his Qi energy to enter Mo Lang's body and heal Mo Lang's soul.

"Hufft thank God you're fine, and it also seems like it's time to end this boring time" Mo Shen said as he raised his sword high.

"The Azure Dragon Sword Technique: Dragon Tail Slash"

As soon as Mo Shen uttered that a dragon silhouette was seen coming out from his sword and writhing, Mo Shen instantly slashed towards the earthworm and was followed by a tail slash from the dragon silhouette.

"Death to you unlucky worm*n" cried Mo Shen

As soon as the tail slash from the dragon silhouette reached the body of the illusionary worm, it immediately split into two and spurted a lot of blood.

Seeing his opponent was dead made Mo Shen become relieved and he ended up sitting on the ground due to the depletion of the Qi energy supply in his body.

"Hah hah hah as I expected, even if it only uses 15% of its power, using the second movement of the azure dragon sword technique can drain all of the Qi energy from within my body" mo Shen said while panting.

"But it's okay as long as the worm dies then the pay is worth it, also Xiao Lang can you take care of me? I want to replenish my depleted Qi energy" Mo Shen's plea to Mo Lang.

Hearing that Mo Lang simply nodded and stood guard beside Mo Shen. Because it felt safe Mo Shen finally closed his eyes while sitting cross-legged to gather back the natural Qi energy around.

Since the Qi energy density around the lake was more concentrated than out there it didn't take much time Mo Shen had replenished all of Yan's Qi energy was drained.

"Hufft is finally all done, it's time to resume the search on this lake. And now it seems like I have to go inside this lake" Mo Shen said then turned to look towards Mo Lang.

"You just wait here just in case there's another monster" he continued.

Hearing that Mo Lang just nodded his head while lying on a large rock.

"It's time to look for the treasure"
