Born with immortal seed

Chapter 172 The Glazed Fire God's Body

Meng Shigui felt that his good fortune had arrived. He had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and was on the verge of Core Formation. Dealing with someone in the early stage of Foundation Establishment would be a piece of cake.

Although his theory of alchemy was incomplete, he was not comparable to those truly exceptional figures.

However, Youlongmen divided up the inheritance of the Fish-Dragon Sect, and the sect also has several cultivation techniques that directly lead to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Dragon Transformation Scripture he cultivated was one of them, possessing profound magical power that surpassed all others of the same level, almost reaching twice that of cultivators of the same rank.

The flying sword in his hand was forged in imitation of the third-tier invisible sword from the Fish Dragon Sect's sword-forging secrets, and was named the Willow Leaf Sword.

It is quite well-known in the Wanxing Islands area of ​​the outer sea.

Along the way, Elder Youlongmen repeatedly explained that Zengguang Immortal City was a powerful force with a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge.

You must restrain your habits and avoid causing trouble.

Customs and traditions at the open sea are quite different from those inland.

There is no distinction between good and evil, because in the vast ocean, it is even more difficult to find the body after murder and disposal, which leads to the formation of groups of cultivators in the outer sea.

Apart from a few large islands, there is nowhere safe.

Aside from fellow disciples and clansmen, no trust can be established between outsiders and cultivators.

There are countless forces that occupy a small island with scarce spiritual energy and declare themselves kings.

However, their rise and fall are swift; a prosperous cultivation family can be slaughtered the next day, and the expulsion of a family from the clan is a common occurrence.

This has led to a habit among cultivators in the outer seas of believing only in their own strength and resorting to fighting and killing whenever things don't go their way.

Fearing that he would attract the attention of the Du family cultivators, Meng Shigui immediately activated his Willow Leaf Sword and displayed his most prized skills.

They only thought about a quick victory, to capture the opponent and immediately reunite with their sect members to conduct soul-searching and interrogation.

As for whether to go to the open sea or take the opportunity to eradicate the remnants of the Fish-Dragon Sect and search for the essence of the sacred beast, that can be discussed depending on the situation.

"Foundation building complete..."

Bai Zichen took a deep breath, his expression solemn. This was the first time he had faced such a powerful opponent.

He felt that it didn't have the overwhelming sense of power that the twelfth son of the Du family in the auction house possessed, but it wasn't far off.

A divine sense far superior to his own had already locked onto him.

Before the sword light, which had concealed its presence, could unleash its power, alarm bells rang loudly in my mind, and my attention was heightened to the highest level.

At the same time, the Yinzhu and Tianxin swords had already fallen into his hands.

The illusory form of a dragon rose up behind Meng Shigui, letting out a long roar that carried a faint dragon's might.

A dragon claw reached out from the air and grabbed, and a powerful pressure squeezed several feet around Bai Zichen, actually imprisoning him in place.

"go with!"

Meng Shigui spared no effort, unleashing the strongest additional spell of the Dragon Transformation Technique during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Control the dragon claw!
This spell can sever the flow of spiritual energy and block the activation of escape spells; those with lower cultivation levels may even lose the ability to resist.

Meng Shigui grew up in the open sea and had extensive experience in combat, having witnessed too many instances of the weak defeating the strong.

He did not let his guard down just because the young cultivator in front of him was far superior to him. In order to finish the battle quickly, he went all out from the start, just like he would when facing an opponent of the same level.

At the same time, a suit of armor appeared on his body, covering everything except his eyes.

Since this person is a remnant of the Fish-Dragon Sect, we must be wary of whether he possesses any of the great supernatural powers or talismans passed down from the Fish-Dragon Sect.

All of Youlongmen's inheritances came from the Fish-Dragon Sect, and even those were abridged versions. Naturally, he knew how terrifying the techniques and supernatural powers inherited from the overlord of the Myriad Star Islands five hundred years ago were.

Bai Zichen felt immense pressure on every inch of his skin, as if a dragon's claw from the sky had truly landed on him.

They wanted to mold his flesh and bones into a ball.

His internal magical energy was not circulating smoothly, and he felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to vomit.

Without needing to activate it, a layer of five-colored spiritual light automatically formed on its skin, with a translucent, jewel-like hue inside.

The five crystals, the glassy body, had reached their limit on their own.

If he hadn't cultivated the Five Crystal Glazed Body to the second level, he would probably have already lost the ability to resist.

A crooked sword light shot out from the side, extremely fast and almost transparent.

They avoided vital points and went straight for his joints.

"Break it for me!"

Bai Zichen gave a soft shout, and his two swords combined. The silver-white sword light gathered with wind and thunder, and a thunderclap resounded under the bright midday sun.

The sword flashed, striking first despite being behind.

The transparent sword light kept twisting and changing direction, but the silver-white sword light always anticipated its movements one step ahead.

Several changes of direction made it seem as if they were actively meeting the silvery sword light.

boom! boom! boom!
The sword lights clashed, exchanging dozens of rapid and brief collisions in the air, before the transparent sword light let out a mournful cry and could no longer maintain its form.

The slender blade of the sword was revealed, and it flew back into Meng Shigui's hand.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"

Meng Shigui, who prided himself on being a master swordsman and was single-mindedly pursuing the Thunder Bamboo Sword, could easily tell that the young cultivator in front of him not only possessed the ability to use two swords simultaneously, but was also a step ahead of him in terms of swordsmanship.

Sword energy and thunderous sound—no matter where you are, that's considered mastery of swordsmanship.

To master this skill before forming the Golden Core is a rare achievement, even within sword cultivation sects.

"The Thunder Bamboo Sword of the Fish Dragon Sect is quite famous, but I haven't heard of any powerful sword techniques passed down through generations... Could it be a truly secret technique that our sect hasn't obtained?"

Meng Shigui was not surprised but rather pleased that he failed to achieve his goal with a single sword strike.

The stronger the remnants of the Fish-Dragon Sect perform, the greater his subsequent gains will be.

Meng Shigui abandoned the idea of ​​severing his opponent's limbs with a single sword strike and forgot to use the concealment ability of the Willow Leaf Sword.

Relying solely on his superior cultivation level, he unleashed a series of vast sword beams, slashing towards the remnants of the Fish-Dragon Sect.

In any case, the Dragon Transformation Technique brought him abundant magical power, enough to maintain the full output of the flying sword while using the Dragon Control Claw.

"spit!"

Bai Zichen spat out a mouthful of blood, his hands still trembling slightly.

There was a difference of three minor realms. If it weren't for the sword energy thunder and the support of the two swords, he would have had no chance of repelling that sword light that could turn transparent.

Although the opponent has not yet entered the second realm of swordsmanship, their skills in the first realm are already consummate.

The transparent sword light appeared crooked and erratic, but in reality, its path changed with every zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of advance, making it unpredictable.

Fortunately, he devoted himself to studying the Wuzhen Sword Technique whenever he had free time, but he was still a long way from achieving the so-called "sword heart enlightenment" and dismantling all sword techniques in the world.

But when facing the enemy, one can achieve a state of perfect clarity, with everything around them reflected in one's mind like a calm lake.

Only then could the hidden willow-leaf sword be blasted out, forcing it to engage in a head-on clash with the combined sword light.

He glanced at the flying sword in his hand. The Tianxin Sword had a barely perceptible nick, and the Yinzhu Sword was in even worse shape.

There are at least three or four small nicks, about the size of a grain of rice, on the sword.

The flying swords of the same level were clashed by swordsmen whose cultivation levels differed greatly, and the clash was a full-force collision with no feints or false moves.

Even if one's swordsmanship is a level higher, the flying sword cannot escape damage.

Of course, this is also related to Bai Zichen's recklessness and deliberate actions.

I'm sure that the slender flying sword also suffered greatly in the fierce clash just now.

Bai Zichen had no time to grieve over the flying sword; gazing at the sky filled with sword light, his expression subtly changed.

He darted and weaved with his twin swords, and every time he parried a sword strike from the dark-faced cultivator, his internal organs trembled violently and his meridians ached.

"This cannot continue. We must make a decision quickly: fight or retreat..."

Bai Zichen's gaze swept over the Taiyin Star Escape Talisman on his sleeve, gradually hardening.

Judging from the black-faced cultivator's demeanor, this person and the forces behind him have an irreconcilable hatred for the Fish-Dragon Sect.

Moreover, they wanted to capture me alive and obtain something from the so-called remnants of the Fish-Dragon Sect.

Even if they escape, they will never have peace again.

Bai Zichen's registered name in Zengguang Immortal City has a clear origin, and anyone could find out by using some means.

A force capable of destroying a Nascent Soul sect like the Fish Dragon Sect would be at risk if its origins were discovered by the other side.

Not only him, but also the Bai family and Qingfeng Sect will be implicated.

"Glassy Body, Explode!"

Having made up his mind, Bai Zichen did not hesitate for a moment. The glass fire jade in his sea of ​​consciousness expanded and contracted thousands of times in an instant.

A streak of the most intense, most violent, and indescribable crimson light shone in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The next second, you could see that Bai Zichen's exposed skin had completely changed color, turning into a dazzling crimson luster.

A terrifying power he had never experienced before arose from the depths of his body, making his limbs and bones feel as if they were on fire, giving him the illusion that he could move mountains and overturn seas.

"No, it's really burning!"

Bai Zichen raised his right hand, with wisps of true flame rising from it. His Taoist robe showed no signs of burning and strangely penetrated to the outside.

The fourth level of the Five Crystal Glazed Body, the Glazed Fire God Body that only the founding patriarch of the Qingfeng Sect had ever achieved, appeared on his body.

The binding force of the giant dragon claw in the sky on him suddenly disappeared.

The Dragon Claw spell was still in effect, but it was completely useless against Bai Zichen, whose physical strength had increased dramatically.

With a blur of movement, leaving a trail of fire, Bai Zichen appeared directly in front of Meng Shigui, his speed approaching teleportation.

With a single punch, Meng Shigui's armor shattered, and he was slammed to the ground with a look of astonishment on his face.

Boom!

It was as if a small earthquake had occurred, creating a large crater in the ground. Meng Shigui lay in the crater and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, a flame of true fire ignited in the center of the chest, burning directly into the area regardless of defense.

“Ah! It hurts, it hurts so much!”

The dignified cultivator who had just completed the Foundation Establishment stage suddenly started howling without any regard for his image.

The physical pain is far more than this; only the burning sensation that reaches the level of the mind and spirit can leave a Foundation Establishment cultivator in such a sorry state.

Bai Zichen pressed his advantage, clapping his hands together to form a terrifying ball of true flames.

He swung his fists downwards repeatedly, each punch accompanied by a burst of true flame, making the crater deeper and deeper.

call out!
Amidst the smoke and dust, a beam of clear light flashed and pierced Bai Zichen's chest, stopping just an inch away, as he caught it directly with his right hand.

The willow-leaf sword unleashed astonishing power, advancing inch by inch into his body, yet not a single drop of blood flowed from his chest.

"Stop it!"

Bai Zichen roared and gripped the sword blade with both hands, only to discover that this seemingly light and weightless flying sword was actually as heavy as a mountain.

He forcefully pulled the sword from his body, and with a furious palm strike, the willow-leaf sword wailed once more, its spiritual light dimmed, and it fell silent.

The wound on his chest was as thick as a baby's forearm and almost went through his entire body, but there was no blood spurting out and he felt no pain at all.

As Meng Shigui climbed out of the pit, his eyes were glazed over, and he felt as if he had seen ghosts and gods.

It's one thing that this remnant of the Fish-Dragon Sect also cultivated a body-refining technique, but why did he suddenly become a body cultivator comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment?

Moreover, the strange true flame was constantly burning his divine consciousness. Meng Shigui had to use a third-level disaster-avoiding and divine protection talisman to temporarily protect his sea of ​​consciousness and isolate it from the damage of the true flame.
