After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Chi Yi released Xi Lan, who then turned around and swung her weapon-forging hammer to continue hammering the scorpion.

Meanwhile, the Scorpion King was writhing in the sand due to intense pain, which allowed Chi Yi to clearly see just how big it was.

Its body alone is as big as an adult elephant, and its two large pincers look incredibly sharp, not to mention its large and long tail, the hook at the tip of which gleams with a chilling, eerie light, undoubtedly extremely venomous.

Chi Yi tried to control the Qingyun Sword with her mind, intending to pierce through the Scorpion King, but it was blocked by a hard layer. In the end, the Scorpion King twisted the sword out of his body.

The Scorpion King was furious and its piercing voice rang out again. At the same time, more than a dozen third-tier scorpions began to frantically devour the scorpions around it whose cultivation was inferior to its own. Their strength increased rapidly, and they were about to enter the fourth tier.

Ling Lili, Yun Fan, Bai Shu, Jin Haoyu, Xi Lan, and Yuan Jing also unleashed their fury to stop it; one Scorpion King was already troublesome enough.

The Azure Cloud Sword returned to Chi Yi's hands, and she fought the Scorpion King with it.

This Scorpion King truly lives up to its reputation as a fifth-tier demon beast; its shell's defensive capabilities are astonishing. If Chi Yi were still using her previous Qingyi Sword, she probably wouldn't even have a scratch. But now she's using her natal sword, the Qingyun Sword, and every strike inflicts deep damage.

Fifteen minutes later, Chi Yi had several more cuts on her body, while the Scorpion King on the other side was in even worse shape, with his skin torn open.

The Scorpion King's two large pincers attacked Chi Yi relentlessly, clamping down on her sword with such force that Chi Yi had to retreat continuously. Taking advantage of this moment, the Scorpion's tail swiftly stabbed at Chi Yi.

Chi Yi released the sword hilt, leaped backward to dodge the poisonous hook, and used her right hand to draw upon spiritual power, freeing the Azure Cloud Sword from the giant pincers and placing it above the Scorpion King.

Chi Yi quickly formed a hand seal and coldly uttered four words: "A Thousand Swords Unleashed!"

The Azure Cloud Sword instantly split into countless identical swords and stabbed towards the Scorpion King.

The Scorpion King immediately tried to dodge, but its eight legs were entangled by the vines conjured by Chi Yi, rendering it unable to move.

It thrashed about frantically, unable to break free, and became a scorpion waiting to be slaughtered.

In the end, the Scorpion King was pierced by a thousand swords and died unwillingly.

With the Scorpion King dead, the dense swarm of scorpions retreated rapidly like a tide.

The scorpions that became fourth-tier demonic beasts by devouring their own kind were almost all killed by Ling Lili, Bai Shu, and the others. Only one large scorpion escaped, willing to break off its pincers in order to survive.

Upon seeing the wounds on Chi Yi's body, Bai Shu immediately asked with concern, "How are you?" He then took Chi Yi's pulse.

Chi Yi smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's just some superficial injuries."

Bai Zhu lowered his hand and nodded, confirming that it was indeed just a superficial injury.

After a long period of spiritual energy output, everyone was a little short of spiritual energy and took a Spirit Recovery Pill.

Next came dealing with the spoils: keeping what was usable and throwing away what wasn't.

Chi Yi found a golden, incredibly hard bone inside the Scorpion King's body; if you weren't looking at it, you wouldn't even feel its presence.

It seems that the reason the Scorpion King was able to hide so well before was because of this thing.

Bai Zhu also specially collected the venom from the scorpion's tail for research.

After cleaning up the battlefield, it was already dawn. After confirming their location, the group set off towards the City of Desire.

The desert stretched endlessly, and after several cycles of sunrise and sunset, a massive city gate suddenly appeared before us.
