The Immortal's Wine Store

"Are you sure about this?" The ox demon discarded the honorifics as he asked through gritted teeth. No matter how strong he was among the 9th-rank Saints. He was just like a bug in the eyes of a Nascent God Realm expert! He was unable to do anything but swallow this shame.

Aren smiled coldly in response as he pointed at the ox demon. "You don't know what kind of person you are messing with, but on account of Demon Lord Zorzoch, I'll give you one last chance to scram!"

The ox demon's face fell at the clear disregard of Aren. The man wasn't even placing him in his sights! He gnashed his teeth in anger and glared at the humans behind Aren as he spoke. "You won't be lucky next time."

After saying those words, he then turn around and said to his subordinates. "Let's go. We will report this to Demon Lord Zorzoch!"

Looking at their retreating figures, Aren chuckled in contempt. He then shifted his attention to the weary humans. This time, he was finally able to see their wretched state.

The general and his subordinates were in awe at how easily Aren managed to make the demons retreat. The man did not even need to attack to make them leave and he just told them to scram! Such a domineering individual was really admirable!

"Thank you for saving our worthless lives, sir." The general was beyond grateful.

"Thank you very much, sir!" The human soldiers thanked Aren solemnly.

Aren waved his hand and replied indifferently. "As I said, I am just following someone's orders. He wants me to save you guys and that means your lives aren't worthless. Never say such things again."

The general and his men felt emotional upon hearing his words.

"You guys are severely injured. Drink this medicine first before I bring you to the lotus building." Aren muttered as he handed them a piece of expensive medicinal herbs each.

Looking at the herbs in their hands, they were all surprised, but they still decided to accept the offer without saying anything else. After consuming the herbs, they felt slightly better.

"Since you look much better now, follow me to the lotus building." Aren muttered them before he whistled as if he was summoning something. Not long later, nine Purple Feathered Flame Eagles descended from the skies and stood before the stunned human soldiers.

"This... 8th-rank Divine realm aerial savage beasts!" They cried out in shock as they stared at the eagles with shining gazes.

Looking at their stunned faces, Aren smiled and gestured for them to ride on top of the eagles. "Let's go."

The general and his subordinates excitedly leaped on the backs of the eagles. At this moment, they had already forgotten their injured state. No one could blame them since riding a strong aerial savage beast was only the luxury of the top experts. Individuals like them could only dream about owning aerial savage beasts of such quality, but now, they were about to experience it themselves, so how could they not be excited?

When he saw that everyone had gotten on top of the eagles, Aren commanded the savage beasts to go back to the lotus building.

Not far from them, the ox demon and the demon soldiers turned around and saw the Purple Feathered Flame Eagles. The ox demon in particular clenched his fists in anger when he saw this. "Ignore them. Once we report this to the Demon Lord. We will ask him to destroy that bastard. Let's see if he could still act arrogantly! Hmph!"

Jiu Shen was now on an isolated island within the Spirit World. After noticing that no creatures were living on the island, Jiu Shen took out the petal of Divine Ascension Flower. This item could help him break through to the Origin God Realm! He might even leap straight to the mid stage of the Origin God Realm!

After looking at it for a second, Jiu Shen lifted the petal to his mouth. The petal had a unique taste, unlike any other spiritual fruits he had consumed. It melted on his tongue and enveloped his mouth with an icy cold sensation. He felt his body jolt at the sudden coldness, but it gradually transformed into a feeling of warmth as the energy of the petal went down his dantian.

Om!

Suddenly, a small rift appeared in the firmament as if something was tearing the space open.

Jiu Shen lifted his head and stared at the dark and gloomy space behind the rift.

"It's here. I welcome your return, God Exterminating Divine Eye." Jiu Shen muttered with a calm look.

His aura which was hidden earlier was now in full display!

Peak stage Nascent God Realm!

Om!!

Dozens of dark tentacles suddenly forcefully tore the rift open, showing a horrifyingly huge eye. Serpent-like bolts of lightning danced around this terrifyingly huge eye, creating a thunderous noise that reverberated within the whole Spirit World.

Jiu Shen could feel the earth beneath him tremble as if it was afraid of the entity above the gloomy skies. Even Jiu Shen who had already faced the power of the God Exterminating Divine Eye became wary when he sensed that this thing had become way stronger than back then.

With a straight unbending figure, Jiu Shen slowly flew towards the God Exterminating Divine Eye. His golden eyes were still as calm as ever while the small island beneath him was being struck by hundreds of bloody lightning bolts.

"Come!" Jiu Shen opened his arms wide as if inviting the God Exterminating Divine Eye to strike him. This act of provocation enraged the divine entity, but just as it was about to command its lightning to strike Jiu Shen, it suddenly narrowed its incomparably huge bloody eyeball. Even Jiu Shen was slightly surprised by this sudden scene.

"Why is it hesitating?" Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

Just then, he felt his dantian churning like a volcano that was about to explode and a small incorporeal petal suddenly appeared in front of Jiu Shen. It slowly grew in size and turned into a breathtakingly beautiful golden-white flower.

"Divine Ascension Flower?" Jiu Shen muttered in shock when he identified the flower.
