179 The Nine-Headed Hydra (1/2)

”Azure Hydra, how're your injuries?.” Ling Chen suddenly asked as he was looking at the nine-headed mountainous serpent in front of him.

So far, this Nine-Headed Hydra was the physically largest demon beast which Ling Chen had ever seen in his life. Its sheer size made it look like numerous gigantic mountain from far away.

In front of the Nine-Headed Hydra, the deceased Saint Beast Bai Wudi seemed like nothing more than a babe or a midget in front of a giant. The difference was truly astounding.

In the endless darkness within Ling Chen's lower-dantian, only its nine heads and necks could be seen coiling around the trunk of the dark tree while the rest of its body was hidden in the darkness.

The entire body of the Nine-Headed Hydra was densely covered with blue armor-like scales, and all of the scales on its body were patterned in a very orderly, regimented manner from top to bottom.

Each scale was glittering with the reflected cold, azure light. The scales alone were stunning and frightening to behold.

”Pop!” Upon hearing Ling Chen's voice, the Nine-Headed Hydra suddenly opened its nine pairs of gigantic scarlet eyes, seemingly adding nine pairs of red suns in the endless dark void which was Ling Chen's lower-dantian.

The red light coming from them clearly illuminated the area. It was quite terrifying and intimidating. Even the most powerful Martial Saints would feel their legs giving in when they met its gaze.

The Nine-Headed Hydra's cold gaze seemed to have to power to drain someone's soul away. Its eyes were so cold that it could cause someone to utterly freeze. However, Ling Chen was completely unaffected by its gaze.

After the Nine-Headed Hydra scanned its surroundings, it finally noticed the tiny existence of Ling Chen far away.

”Master, you are back. I thought you forgot about me.” Suddenly, an ancient voice slowly rang out from the darkness as the Nine-Headed Hydra spoke.

At the same time, one of the nine heads of the Nine-Headed Hydra minutely moved and uncoiled around the dark tree trunk using a nimbleness that did not seem to belong to such a gigantic body.

”Xshh…” Hissing could be heard as one of the heads of the giant Hydra started moving closer towards Ling Chen.

In less than a second, its immense head appeared in front of Ling Chen. Its giant head towered over Ling Chen just like a mountain.

Its massive head was the height of a building with six or seven floors. Compared with the head of the massive Nine-Headed Hydra, Ling Chen seemed like a little toy or little bug. The scene was somewhat comical.

The Nine-Headed Hydra was a powerful demon beast that Ling Chen had tamed before coming to the Heaven Suppression Region.

The Nine-Headed Hydra was a Nine Tribulation Demon Saint and Ling Chen had spent a whole day and night battling the beast in the depth of the Divine Demon Beast Region before subduing it.

However, after that battle, the Nine-Headed Hydra was badly injured and had to go into hibernation to recover. As his contracted demon beast, Ling Chen had the power to summon it within the dark void within his lower-dantian.

Furthermore, the Nine-Headed Hydra wasn't that big. It only grew that size after slumbering within the dark void in Ling Chen's lower-dantian over the past three years. It seemed like coiling around the dark tree trunk as well as the dark energy within Ling Chen's lower-dantian was very beneficial to it.

Aside from being the physically largest demon beast which Ling Chen had ever seen in his life, the Nine-Headed Hydra was also the strongest opponent he had ever faced, except for the Demi-God bastard.

”All my injuries are healed now, master.” The Nine-Headed Hydra added.

”If that's the case, it's time for you to go out. I also have a mission for you.” Ling Chen said with a wicked smile on his face.

Before the Nine-Headed Hydra could even answer, its massive body suddenly disappeared from the dark void within Ling Chen's lower dantian.

Having kicked out the Nine-Headed Hydra within his lower-dantian, Ling Chen suddenly opened his eyes and saw a blue hair woman respectfully standing in front of him.

This blue haired woman had an exceptionally charming feature. Her eyes had vertical slits for pupils and looked as if they were made of a ceramic glaze that would let one see through to its bottom.

The blue-haired woman was now filled with elegance and grandeur typical to a noble or a princess. Her previous original savage and terrifying aura had dulled down after taking a human form. However, Ling Chen knew how terrifying this woman was. This graceful demeanor was a facade, concealing the bloodthirst and a ferocious beast within.

”What is the mission master?.” The blue-haired woman asked in a respectful tone.

After becoming the contracted demon beast of Ling Chen, the Nine-Headed Hydra was very respectful towards Ling Chen. Not to mention, she had also tasted the terrifying power of Ling Chen.

Furthermore, even though Ling Chen was disguising himself as an old monk, she could tell that this old monk was his master.
