Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 97 Devouring the Eight-tailed Snow Fox
"A top-grade snow fox spirit?!" Zi Dong repeated subconsciously, then quickly extended his divine sense, which had merged with the purple mist.

The snow fox is the most powerful among the demon race, and a snow fox that becomes a demon spirit is even more powerful, equivalent to a wandering immortal!

To everyone's surprise, Donglai Ziqi responded excitedly, explaining the meaning of "top-grade" to him—this was the first time!
"It's not just because the snow fox is powerful that it wants to devour others, is it?" Zi Dong asked in his soul while searching for demonic spirits with his divine sense.

He could sense that the purple aura from the east desperately wanted to devour this demonic spirit, so there must be another reason.

The claim of being powerful is merely an excuse used by Donglai Ziqi to conceal its true purpose, because for Donglai Ziqi, power is not important.

"Devouring this snow fox spirit will increase the time and distance it takes to escape from you." Donglai Ziqi finally spoke the truth.

"How much can it increase?" Zi Dong deliberately chatted with Dong Lai Zi Qi to learn more, especially since he hadn't found the demon spirit yet.

"We'll only know after we devour it!" Donglai Ziqi said impatiently, having probably guessed Zidong's intentions.

"Why can the Snow Fox Spirit increase time and distance?" Zi Dong continued to ask, which really aroused his curiosity.

"This snow fox spirit has mastered the power of space and time, and its spiritual body is extremely powerful!" Donglai Ziqi shouted angrily.

"Isn't the power of spacetime something that only true immortals and gods can control? How could this snow fox demon possibly control it?!"

Zi Dong was extremely shocked. If this snow fox spirit possessed the power of spacetime, and could still devour the purple aura from the east, then what exactly was its origin?!

[Who told you that only immortals and gods can control the power of space and time? Even cultivators at the Void Breaking Realm can control it, they just can't enter the real space and time!] Donglai Ziqi immediately lectured Zi Dong.

"Can this snow fox spirit enter the real spacetime?!" Zi Dong really didn't understand and couldn't refute it.

"This snow fox spirit can't, but she's faster and has better stealth abilities," Donglai Ziqi said.

"Eastern Purple Qi, why don't you devour the Heavenly Demon?" Zi Dong suddenly asked, not wanting to give the Eastern Purple Qi time to react.

"The Heavenly Demon isn't tasty." Donglai Ziqi, a seasoned veteran, readily offered a reason.

"You're ruthless!" Zi Dong said angrily, then channeled 100 points of ninth-grade Qi into his main meridian.

Since Donglai Ziqi didn't want to talk about it, no matter how much he pressed, he wouldn't get an answer.

The purple mist immediately surged out, rushing out of the window and binding the demon spirit right across from Zi Dong.

Zi Dong was taken aback. He stared out the window, realizing that the snow fox spirit had been watching him the whole time!
Why didn't his divine sense detect it this time?!

Zi Dong looked out the window at the snow fox spirit that resembled Snow White from the anime, and couldn't help but wonder if it was really as Dong Lai Zi Qi said, that the snow fox spirit had a stronger ability to hide.

The purple mist continued to surge out of his body, seemingly insufficient to devour the snow fox spirit.

Zi Dong's divine sense had already locked onto the beautiful demon spirit, but his naked eyes could see that ripples were spreading around the demon spirit.

Is this the power of spacetime?

The ripples around the snow fox spirit were different from Sikong Bo's spatial power; Zi Dong felt as if he were watching a slideshow of scenes from different historical periods.

The ripples generated by Sikong Bo's spatial power were like folding an A4 sheet of paper, not at all like a slideshow.

The purple mist enveloping the snow fox spirit grew thicker and thicker, and the ripples around the spirit became more and more turbulent, eventually turning into waves.

It seems that even if the purple aura from the east wants to devour it, it won't be so easy. Zi Dong's naked eyes can no longer see it clearly, so he can only use his divine sense to investigate.

The snow fox spirit was terrified. Although the waves around its body grew larger, the area being suppressed was shrinking. Purple mist continued to surge out of Zi Dong's body, forming a cage that trapped the snow fox spirit inside, and it was turning into amethyst.

"Awooo!" Zi Dong suddenly heard a shrill roar in his consciousness, and the demon spirit suddenly transformed into a snow-white fox.

With its two blood-red eyes glaring, it began to tear at the purple mist surrounding it, while its eight large tails lashed out behind it.

Zi Dong had some understanding of the fox clan. If it grew nine tails, it would be a true immortal fox, and this one was still at the Supreme Realm.

The purple mist seemed to be waiting for the snow fox spirit to reveal its true form, and immediately condensed into countless amethyst fists, which rushed towards the snow fox and bombarded it.

No matter how much the snow fox struggled, it couldn't withstand the amethyst fist and was quickly blasted to pieces.

The limbs and tail detached from the body, and then the body was blasted into pieces, eventually turning into wisps of smoke.

This was the first time Zi Dong had seen the purple aura from the east being devoured with such difficulty, which was enough to prove the power of the snow fox spirit.

After a restless night, the purple aura from the east had been completely absorbed, and it was already broad daylight. Zi Dong could no longer sleep.

We were originally scheduled to enter the Great Snow Mountain today. Elder Fengji had already made arrangements, and the Azure Lotus Sword Sect would send someone to pick us up soon.

Zi Dong had just finished breakfast with Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu when Elder Feng Ji arrived with Elder Li Mei from the Qinglian Sword Sect.

The group immediately set off into the Great Snow Mountain. With Elder Li Mei leading the way, Zi Dong and his companions could reach Snow Lotus Peak directly.

That is the main peak of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, located deep in the Great Snow Mountain. Without a guide, outsiders would hardly be able to find it.

Because the peaks within the Daxueshan Mountains are all covered with thick snow, they are almost identical, and there are also many icebergs further north.

Elder Li Mei introduced the local customs and culture of the Great Snow Mountain to the Zi Dong group along the way, and had a very good relationship with Elder Feng Ji.

But before they had gone far, Elder Li Mei received a message, and her expression immediately tensed up, her gaze gradually turning angry as she glared at Zi Dong:

"Did you devour a demon spirit in Wangxue Town?!"

"What kind of demon?!" Zi Dong was secretly shocked, but on the surface he remained quite calm. He would never admit to such a thing, even if it meant his death.

"A snow fox spirit!" Elder Li Mei's eyes were already blazing with anger. If Zi Dong dared to admit it, she would take action immediately.

"Elder Li, what's going on?!" Elder Fengji quickly stepped between Zi Dong and Elder Li Mei.

"A snow fox spirit has gone missing in Wangxue Town, and only he could have done it!" Elder Li Mei shouted, pointing at Zi Dongjiao.

"Elder Li, did you see it with your own eyes?!" Feng Qingwu immediately stepped forward and questioned him angrily.

"He has devoured a lot of demon spirits along the way. As soon as he arrived in Wangxue Town, the snow fox demon spirit disappeared. Who else could it be but him?!" Elder Li Mei pointed at Zi Dong and shouted righteously.

“Elder Li, you also said that the Snow Fox Spirit has gone missing, so it may not have been devoured. How did it end up targeting Zi Dong?!” Zhou Xinyu quickly retorted.

"No one can kill the Snow Fox Demon Spirit, let alone capture it, so the only option is to be devoured by it!" Elder Li Mei pressed Zi Dong relentlessly.

"Hmph, if you can't produce evidence, you're just spouting nonsense!" Feng Qingwu retorted without backing down; even if Zi Dong did it, she couldn't admit it.
