Born with immortal seed

Chapter 449 Hundred-Eyed Centipede
"Let's see if he can activate the Star Palace Token... It's hard to say whether bringing in a sword cultivator of unknown origin with strength close to that of a Great True Monarch will be a blessing or a curse."

The round-faced cultivator shook his Taoist robe, revealing nothingness behind him, and stars rose into the sky.

Four black dragons, clawing and baring their teeth, flew out of the boundary, and the mudfish, as thick as a finger, instantly swelled to tens of feet in length.

The dark scales clung tightly together, and the dragon's body radiated a powerful force. The surging demonic energy startled the weaker demonic beasts in the desolate valley, causing them to scatter and flee.

Each black dragon's head was tied to a jade rope, which was then attached to a magnificent cloud chariot.

A black dragon pulls a chariot, a cloud palanquin that travels for thousands of feet.

With such an imposing presence, anyone who saw it would know that a very important person was passing by, and would want to keep their distance.

All four black dragons are top-grade third-tier spirit beasts. The cloud chariot can accommodate dozens of people and is equipped with various complex restrictions, making it as valuable as a top-grade flying magic weapon.

The round-faced, beardless monk sat in the carriage, and several ladies in palace attire came forward to pour wine, fan the guests, and play music.

Upon closer inspection, these ladies in palace attire were all slender and beautiful, but their eyes were lifeless, and they seemed to be tethered to their limbs with thin ropes as they walked, which was very uncoordinated.

It is clear that they are not living people, but some kind of puppet.

"It's a pity that the Seven Killings Star Lord died unexpectedly. With him in the Star Palace, we wouldn't have to worry about newcomers causing trouble... None of these people can reliably suppress that person."

Po Jun Xingjun leaned back on his high seat, his plump figure quite different from his previous appearance.

"The conditions for restarting the Trial Realm are almost met; all that's missing is a fifth-tier flying sword as the key and a cultivator at the Sword Light Differentiation Realm to perform the work..."

"This person is crucial to restarting the Trial Realm, and we must bear the risks even if they are slight. Besides, the strength of us is not just what it appears on the surface; we each have real identities, and the power we can mobilize is by no means limited to this."

Po Jun Xingjun, or rather, the round-faced cultivator who had removed his mask and returned to his true identity, made a decision and grabbed a cup of spiritual wine, drinking it all in one gulp.

"As long as that person activates the Star Palace Token, I will bring him into the Star Palace. All the information about the entrance to the Trial Realm will be in my hands, and the initiative will be mine... Once inside the realm, it will be half of my home ground, so what is there to fear? Of course, to be absolutely sure, it would be best to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

The black dragon cloud chariot moved at a considerable speed, crossing several peaks and flying towards the central area of ​​Dali.

……

Southern Chu, the Ten Deadly Valleys.

Thousands of cultivators lined up in formation at each corner, each holding a formation flag.

Banners fluttered in the air, and precious light soared into the sky. Every now and then, a deafening roar could be heard, as if the earth were turning over and mountains were collapsing.

On both sides of the Ten Absolute Valley, huge boulders the size of houses rolled down the mountain ridges, smashing deep pits in the valley floor, raising clouds of dust.

Occasionally, there is the icy, frosty divine light of the Ice Soul, the blazing, fiery divine light of the Great Sun, the vibrant and colorful divine light of the Seven Birds, the divine light of separation and reunion that combines offense and defense and can be gathered and dispersed at will, and the divine light of a hundred poisons that billows with poisonous smoke and makes people feel dizzy and nauseous...

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, more than ten different kinds of divine light erupted from the bottom of the valley.

It was as if more than a dozen cultivators skilled in divine light were besieged in the Ten Absolute Valley and were fighting back fiercely.

“Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​when will your sect’s Blood God Child arrive! In order to lure the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede into the array trap, my two nephews were killed. Currently, as many as 70% of the cultivators setting up the array are disciples of our Taiyi Sect… If this drags on any longer, these disciples will exhaust their magical power and suffer irreversible damage to their foundations.”

The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect was a short, childlike cultivator who carried a large, crimson gourd on his back that was taller than himself, and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

"The Hundred-Eyed Centipede was heading towards your Blood Sea Sect. If you hadn't come begging to kill this insect and divide the spoils, our sect wouldn't have gathered its forces here. Blood God Child is still nowhere to be seen; are you planning to back out?"

"Fellow Daoist Jin, do not be anxious. I am here with hundreds of disciples. Would our sect abandon us? Senior Brother Blood God Child must have arrived by now. He will make his move when the time is right."

The Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Tian has a vertical eye between his eyebrows, which is said to be due to the refinement of some powerful bloodline. His third eye possesses incredible supernatural powers.

The three major sects of Southern Chu—Blood Sea Sect, Taiyi Sect, and Joyful Sect—are evenly matched in strength.

In recent years, with the rise of the current generation of Blood God Son and the subjugation of the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword, the Blood Sea Sect has shown a tendency to gain a slight advantage.

However, the other two levels are overseen by Great True Lords, so even if the younger generation disciples are inferior to the Blood God Child, they are not at a significant disadvantage.

Despite his childlike appearance, no one dared to underestimate him. Any cultivator who raised his body in front of him would be regarded as an irreconcilable enemy.

He ended up with this appearance because he offended the Supreme Elder of the Joyful Sect a hundred years ago, and was forced to flee in a sorry state by the intervention of that Great True Lord.

In the end, he sacrificed his physical body, leaving only his nascent soul, and only then was he fortunate enough to save his life.

After possessing the body that had been prepared beforehand, he discovered that there was still a trace of Yin-Yang true meaning in the nascent soul, which came from the Great True Lord of the Joyful Sect.

This directly resulted in the physical body of the Golden Mountain Boy being fixed in its original form, and he could no longer grow any larger.

Having finally achieved the unity of spirit and body, he couldn't possibly change his physical body just for the sake of his appearance.

The current physical body possesses the Golden Fiend Spirit Body and the unique spiritual root aptitude, making it the best choice among the physical bodies collected by the Taiyi Sect over the past few hundred years.

Replacing the physical body might not yield such a good result, and refining the physical body would take decades.

After a while, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn't withstand such a delay.

It's just that he retains the appearance of a child, and being mocked behind his back by people in the cultivation world doesn't affect his normal cultivation.

"Wait three more days. If the Blood God Child doesn't come, I will lead the Taiyi Sect disciples to retreat directly... At that time, the enraged Hundred-Eyed Centipede will definitely charge straight at the Blood Sea Sect, and I won't be able to take responsibility for that."

Seeing a divine light as thick as a mountain shooting up, Jinshan Boy snorted coldly and slapped down with his palm.

Countless golden spears, halberds, and swords danced together, shattering the heavy divine light into pieces and easily suppressing it.

The formation consists of a thousand cultivators, with a dozen or so Core Formation cultivators as eyes, nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators as meridians, and nearly a thousand Qi Refining disciples as the foundation.

Taking advantage of the battle formation, they firmly trapped the fourth-tier Hundred-Eyed Centipede within.

However, as one of the five most extraordinary insects in the cultivation world, the Hundred-Eyed Centipede's strength is comparable to that of great demons with bloodlines from ancient divine beasts, and it cannot be judged solely by its rank.

The more of the hundred pairs of compound eyes on one's body are open, the richer and more powerful the divine light one has mastered.

The most unacceptable thing is that shooting divine light from a pair of eyes does not consume any demonic power for the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede. Only when all its eyes shoot divine light at the same time does it mean that the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede has become serious and has truly used its demonic power.

In the cultivation world, there once appeared the most terrifying Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede. It took five Great True Monarchs to set up an array and wear it down for almost a year before they were finally able to kill it.

It is completely futile for human cultivators to try to outlast it in terms of endurance and stamina.

The role of Jinshan Tongzi and the Tian surname cultivator was precisely this: when the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Centipede in the Ten Absolute Valley showed signs of rushing out of the valley, they intervened in time to drive it back.

At the same time, it also reduced the burden on the battle formation.

Otherwise, if one keeps their mind tense for a long time and operates their magic power at a high intensity, even those who have reached the Core Formation stage will be fine, but the most basic Qi Refining disciples will not be able to hold on for more than a day.

Fortunately, this Hundred-Eyed Centipede was only a low-grade fourth-order creature. The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, along with the battle formation, were enough to trap it here.

However, based on their combined strength, they certainly couldn't deliver the final blow.

Forcing it will only create unnecessary risks.

The Hundred-Eyed Centipede's counterattack before its death had a high chance of taking down a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the battle formation would also suffer heavy losses.

Even those disciples at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining levels might be completely wiped out.

They would either have their magic power drained by the battle formation or die from the burst of divine light gathered by the Hundred-Eyed Centipede.

The Taiyi Sect contributed more and was willing to share the spoils equally, especially when the Xuehai Sect was under greater threat.

The reason, of course, is to rely on the strength of the Blood God Child.

To be precise, it relied on the fifth-tier flying sword, the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword.

Soon, the second day arrived amidst the Centipede's unhurried counterattacks, and it was quite obvious that it had become more agitated.

The frequency of the divine light became much denser, and there were even instances of three to five beams of divine light shooting out simultaneously.

The Golden Mountain Boy and the cultivator surnamed Tian became noticeably more serious, each taking their natal magic treasures into their hands.

Below, in the battle formation, more than a hundred Qi Refining disciples had already swayed and fallen to the ground.

One of the leaders from each of the two sects stepped forward to direct the removal of the Qi Refining disciples who had overexerted their magical power and fallen unconscious, and replaced them with new, fresh energy to support them.

As dusk approached, thirteen divine lights merged into a giant pillar of light, sweeping out from the bottom of the valley.

The battle formation was struck as if by a heavy blow. Nearly half of the thousands of cultivators coughed up blood and fell to the ground, while a hundred others lay paralyzed on the ground as if they had lost their limbs and bones.

The leading Core Formation cultivators were almost all pale and had grim faces.

The giant beam of light swayed slightly, but its momentum continued unabated, smashing through the mountains of the Ten Absolute Valley with the force to sweep away everything.

With a downward sway, it would crush all the thousand cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground into dust.

The cultivator surnamed Tian let out a strange cry, opened his brow eye, and saw the giant beam of light slowed down a hundred times in his eyes.

The composition, strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings of the divine light can all be analyzed truthfully.

His body transformed into a cloud of blood mist, dissipated into the air, and then reassembled in front of the giant pillar of light, becoming a blood-red giant the size of a hill.

His facial features, expression, and outward appearance no longer resembled the cultivator surnamed Tian at all.

The strength of the Hundred Fiends Blood Sea Great Art depends not only on the cultivator's natural talent and endowment, but also on the number of bloodlines and the power of their grades that are incorporated.

The cultivator surnamed Tian refined some kind of giant bloodline, and for this purpose, he went to the Western Regions to slaughter several families that had ancient giant bloodlines.

In fact, the bloodline within those families was already negligible. He killed hundreds of thousands of people, leaving corpses strewn across the land, before finally managing to condense a possible wisp of giant blood essence.

boom!
The Blood Giant raised its hands, but was knocked down by the giant beam of light, with most of its legs sinking into the ground.

With another impact, the Blood Giant's arms broke off, and it was blasted into pieces by the divine light that had merged together.

"Damn it, this centipede is just one step away from being a mid-grade fourth-tier centipede!"

As the blood mist condensed, the pale-faced cultivator surnamed Tian reappeared, his figure seemingly becoming somewhat transparent.

The Hundred Fiends Blood Sea Great Technique is hailed as the number one life-saving technique, and this is not entirely an exaggeration.

As long as the river of blood does not dry up, the body will not die.

This is precisely why the Blood Sea Sect cultivators have developed a fearless and relentless fighting style.

In the event of a conflict, they adopt a life-or-death attitude, completely disregarding the injuries they sustain, even if it means dying twice.
