Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 406 Xuanwu
"Supreme Sect Master, do you need my help?" Yu Wen, in his Nascent Soul form, pointed towards the Southern Peak Divine Sect and asked the Chaos Divine Dragon.

Now that they are all one family with the Chaos Divine Dragon, the matter of annihilating the Southern Mountain Divine Sect is also the matter of the Northern Sea Divine Sect.

Although destroying the Southern Mountain Divine Sect would require Wen Huashen to expend a significant amount of his lifespan, he must demonstrate his will, as this is the foundation of all trust.

"No need. Do you know what kind of fifth-order existence the fifth-order foundation of the Southern Mountain Divine Sect is?" Chaos Divine Dragon shook his head and asked.

“I’ve heard of that. The Southern Mountain Divine Sect has a guardian beast named Xuanwu, which is a fifth-order demon god!” Yu Wen, who had indeed become a Nascent Soul cultivator, replied.

"The Xuanwu Divine Beast is a top-tier race on par with the Dragon and Phoenix. Its lineage has been severed in the Demon Kingdom, but I never expected that the Nanyue Divine Sect would still have a Xuanwu surviving!" Li Zhen said with emotion.

Knowing that the guardian beast of the Nanyue Divine Sect was the Xuanwu Divine Beast, he was not too worried.

Although the Xuanwu divine beast belongs to the same top race, it has different strengths than the Dragon and Phoenix races. The Xuanwu race is best at earth-based defense, but is much weaker in attack than the Dragon and Phoenix races.

He learned all of this from ancient texts and the legacy of the Chaos Dragon. It was precisely because he knew the strength of the Xuanwu Divine Beast that he had the confidence to back it up.

Of course, even if he didn't know what the guardian beast of the Nanyue Divine Sect was, it wouldn't affect his ability to launch an attack on the Nanyue Divine Sect's mountain gate.

However, the strength of the guardian beast affected the price he paid in this battle.

With a gentle wave of its forepaw, the Chaos Dragon summoned a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon that emerged from subspace and hovered beside it.

Upon seeing the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon, Yu Wenhua thought to himself, "As expected."

No wonder Xu Pan lost his combat power due to a mental attack. The fifth-order Heavenly Demon, an evil being that should not exist in the medieval world, suddenly launched a fifth-order evil attack that no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand.

Yu Wenhua thought to himself that if he were to encounter a fifth-order Heavenly Demon, the first thing he would do would not be to fight, but to figure out how to escape as quickly as possible.

However, the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon before them did not behave like the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon described.

Even the Western Heaven Temple treats the fifth-order Heavenly Demon with a tactful and ingratiating attitude. In fact, the fifth-order Buddha of the Western Heaven Temple spends many years accompanying the fifth-order Heavenly Demon for this reason.

The lifespan of a fifth-tier Buddha in the Western Heaven Temple is always much shorter than that of other Nascent Soul cultivators; this is the price of being constantly accompanied by a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon.

But the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon before them had lost the arrogant attitude that a Heavenly Demon should have, and was unusually docile in front of the Chaos Divine Dragon.

"Take Wukong and go annihilate the entire Nanyue Divine Sect!" the Chaos Divine Dragon commanded in a deep voice.

The fifth-tier Heavenly Demon bowed and accepted the order like a human, then waved to the fifth-tier Wukong. The two fifth-tier warriors joined forces and flew towards the protective formation of the Southern Mountain Divine Sect.

"We don't need to take action; let's save our lifespans!" the Chaos Dragon said to Yu Wenhua with a smile.

Yu Wenhua nodded; he also wanted to see the strength of the fifth-tier Wukong and the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon.

He was somewhat envious of the Chaos Dragon God. With the fifth-tier Wukong and the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon, he didn't need to take action or expend his lifespan.

This is the dream of any Nascent Soul cultivator, as it allows them to unleash fifth-tier combat power without consuming their lifespan.

The fifth-tier Wukong was the fastest, rushing to the front of the sect's protective formation and unleashing a powerful punch.

The protective shield of the sect's protective formation flashed repeatedly, actually neutralizing the punch from the fifth-tier Wukong.

The fifth-level Wukong was not angry. Seeing that one punch was not enough, he continued to strike with punch after punch.

As Yu Wenhua watched the fifth-tier Wukong make his move, he realized that the fifth-tier Wukong had not used his full strength. In fact, the attack that broke through the defense of the Nascent Soul stage was just a physical attack by the fifth-tier Wukong, without using any energy, let alone supernatural powers.

Even if a fifth-tier Wukong were to act like this for a whole day, it wouldn't reduce his lifespan in the slightest.

In addition, the undead do not tire; their stamina is theoretically unlimited, allowing them to attack continuously.

However, continuous attacks were not necessary. When the fifth-level Wukong unleashed five consecutive punches, the protective formation of the Nanyue Divine Sect finally could not withstand it.

With a 'crack' sound, the defensive shield of the Nanyue Divine Sect shattered.

As soon as the defensive shield shattered, the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon flew over the Southern Mountain Sect.

A hellish scene reappeared, with countless black, human-headed serpents flying out and slithering through the Nanyue Divine Sect's gates. "Please summon the Xuanwu Divine Lord!" Sect Master Changtong, his face pale, took out a talisman, activated it, and shouted.

He thought the Xuanwu Divine Beast would protect the sect, but it didn't appear until the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon launched its attack, forcing him to use the inherited method to summon the Xuanwu Divine Beast.

Just as he was using his powers to summon the Xuanwu divine beast, the black-headed serpent also rushed into the hall where he was.

He quickly took out a fifth-tier defensive talisman and enhanced his defense with fifth-tier divine power.

The black, human-headed serpent crashed into the fifth-tier divine power defense, but was blocked by it.

The sect leader of Changtong was overjoyed. He had not expected that the fifth-order defensive talisman he inherited could actually withstand mental attacks, which gave him hope of escaping.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw more black-headed serpents fly into the hall and pounce on him.

Although the fifth-order defensive divine power was strong, it could only hold its ground against the numerous black human-headed serpents of the same fifth order, unable to move an inch, let alone escape.

Furthermore, as a large number of black human-headed serpents continued to collide with the fifth-order defensive divine power, the light of the fifth-order defensive divine power on the Changtong Sect Master's body became increasingly dim.

Just as the fifth-order defensive divine power on the Changtong Sect Master was about to be broken, he sensed the aura of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, an aura that carried an extremely slow and deliberate quality.

He wanted to shout for help, hoping the Xuanwu divine beast would come to his rescue, save his sect, and drive away the invading enemies. However, after sensing that extremely slow aura, even the thought of calling for help vanished.

Both Li Zhen and Yu Wenhua sensed the aura of the Xuanwu Divine Beast. The entire Nanyue Divine Sect was trembling, and the rocks on a mountain peak in front of the sect's gate suddenly collapsed.

The collapsing rocks revealed a huge head inside the mountain.

The mountain gate of the Nanyue Shenzong sect also rose from the ground, and a much larger body could be vaguely seen. This body was larger than the mountain gate of the Nanyue Shenzong sect, and it lifted the entire mountain gate up on its back.

"This is the Xuanwu Divine Beast!" Li Zhen was stunned and couldn't believe it.

He had witnessed the Dragon God and the Phoenix God, and had himself reached the level of the Dragon God.

But the Xuanwu divine beast in front of him gave him a completely new understanding of the definition of a divine beast.

"It's a pity that the Xuanwu Divine Beast's lifespan is coming to an end. This activity may be its last!" Yu Wen, the Nascent Soul cultivator, shook his head and sighed.

The Nascent Soul stage has a fervent focus on lifespan, which gives almost every Nascent Soul stage cultivator the ability to observe lifespan.

The life force of the Xuanwu divine beast was almost extinguished, indicating that its life had come to an end.

"Chaos Divine Dragon, leave a legacy for the Southern Mountain Divine Sect. This is Xuanwu's last request!" The Xuanwu Divine Beast made no movement; its voice was not loud, but it was as powerful as a bell or drum.

Although Li Zhen appeared relaxed and at ease on the surface, she had actually made preparations long ago.

Both the fifth-tier Wukong and the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon were prepared to unleash a full-force attack, even at the cost of sacrificing some of their lifespan.

The main reason is that the Xuanwu Divine Beast's body is simply too amazing, making the threat it poses impossible to underestimate.

"The Xuanwu Divine Beast, I will add a lineage within the North Sea Divine Sect, named the Southern Peak Lineage, to inherit the legacy of the Southern Peak Divine Sect!" Li Zhen made his decision after a moment's consideration.

He didn't want to fight either; fighting such a massive Xuanwu divine beast would likely come at a high price.

He was even less willing to try the madness of a divine beast whose lifespan was about to end. Perhaps his Chaos Dragon Body could use space to save his life, but it was hard to say about a fifth-order Wukong and a fifth-order Heavenly Demon.

Rather than risk a war, it's better to resolve things peacefully.

"Xuanwu trusts the Chaos Dragon's promise, so I'll give you this body of Xuanwu as a gift!" The Xuanwu divine beast nodded and said.

His nodding motion did look very slow, but considering the size of his body, with his head alone being the size of a mountain, the slow nodding motion was normal.

After he finished speaking, his life force weakened rapidly, the aura of the Xuanwu Divine Beast disappeared, and his body remained suspended in mid-air.
