Black Journey to the West: The Imposter Star Lord

Chapter 86 Earth Returning to Origin Talisman

"Snoring!!"

Bubbles the size of fists rolled on the water's surface.

A man and a snake were fighting underwater.

At first, the red-scaled python could hold its own against Cao Xing, but gradually it couldn't withstand the increasingly fast and powerful staff techniques of Cao Xing, which made it difficult for her to defend herself. In an instant, she was left wide open and was utterly defeated by Cao Xing.

Half an hour passed, then a quarter of an hour, then half a period of time—

The audience's expressions shifted from shock to awe, and then gradually to shame.

【Amitabha! I thought Juxian Nunnery was invincible in the art of dual cultivation, but I never expected this boy to be so fierce. Whose disciple is he? I want to become his disciple.】

[This is incredible! A Foundation Establishment cultivator defeated a Golden Core cultivator?! A complete reversal of the Heavenly Gang!]

【No, this is never going to end! It's been going on for so long, I even finished dinner.】

Why are these bubbles so annoying? I can't even see them clearly! Could you add a different angle? I want to see it in HD!

]

"Hey! I know who this kid is."

In a secluded corner, Jin Yuan Daoist slapped his thigh and finally remembered who Cao Xing was.

It wasn't that he had a long reflex, but this feat finally reminded him that this was the kid who broke his Rakshasa Thousand Maidens Painting.

How could it be him??

Didn't that old woman Gu Su kill him?

Damn it, Gu Su must have gotten her hands on this kid. No wonder she beat up Hong Kaiyuan right before they set off. If you two weren't having an affair, I wouldn't believe it.

Jin Yuan Daoist stared at the screen, cursing and swearing.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, the water surface exploded, splashing everywhere. Soon after, the body of the red-scaled python floated to the surface of the river. The massive snake leaned weakly against the bank, flicking its tongue and looking listless.

Then another splash, and Cao Xing climbed out of the water. Compared to the disheveled state of the red-scaled serpent, Cao Xing seemed completely refreshed.

Wonderful! Although my cultivation level has not broken through, my true energy is several times purer than before, and even the Earth Qi of the Five Internal Organs and Six Brightness Meridians has been greatly perfected.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and sensed that a "Wu Earth Returning to Origin Talisman" was taking shape above his stomach.

As the talisman takes shape, its stomach energy becomes as strong as steel, capable of consuming even stones.

After emerging from the water, Cao Xing's gaze immediately locked onto the red-scaled serpent.

He gripped the lapis lazuli scepter in one hand, preparing to catch the serpent off guard and deliver a fatal blow.

However, when he looked up, he found that the large snake had recovered and was staring intently at him.

This left Cao Xing feeling awkward, and he could only reluctantly carry the Azure Gold Ruyi on his back, just in case.

At this moment, the red-scaled serpent was so frustrated that it felt its cultivation had been greatly damaged, and even the inner core that it had finally formed had shrunk by more than half. It stared at Cao Xing with a mixture of anxiety and anger.

She never imagined that this cultivator not only had a body as tough as iron, but was also proficient in the art of enduring battle. Not only did she not gain any advantage, but she also had a portion of her cultivation absorbed.

Its snake-like eyes were fixed on Cao Xing, ready to perish together with him.

Cao Xing also noticed that the red-scaled python's eyes were strange.

No, why are you acting all tragic?

Am I the one who suffers a loss?

The skin is all broken!

You've taken my first blood!

Seeing the scales on the giant serpent's body stand up, as if it really intended to fight him to the death, Cao Xing quickly raised his hand to indicate, "I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore. I really can't give you the transformation technique, but if you want to transform, I do have a way."

"What can we do?!"

The red-scaled python's vertical pupils contracted, its gaze fixed intently on Cao Xing's face.

"Your cultivation is limited by your bloodline and lacks the right opportunity. This is the end of your cultivation journey. However, your opportunity is not with me. It is simple for you to take human form; it is just a dragon pearl."

The crimson-scaled python had expected Cao Xing to reveal some profound secret or opportunity, but instead, he offered such clichéd words. Its body trembled, and its killing intent surged: "Are you kidding me?"

"The Dragon Balls are the most precious treasures of the dragon race. You're sending me to steal them from those dragons? Aren't you sending me to my death?!"

Cao Xing calmly replied, "Who told you to steal treasures from the Dragon Palace? There are plenty of dragons in the world. Couldn't you have found a weaker one?"

?

""

"The weak ones?"

The crimson-scaled python swayed its tail a few times and hesitated, saying, "Even if it's not the dragon of the four seas, even if it's a river dragon, I am no match for it."

"Then why don't you go find a well dragon king?"

"The Well Dragon King??"

The crimson-scaled python sneered, "Fellow Daoist, don't try to fool me. I've never heard of a Dragon King living in a well."

"That's because you're inexperienced. I happen to know of a well where a well dragon king is hiding. If we join forces, we can pull off a heist. You'll get the dragon pearl and the chance to transform, while I'll get the dragon king's treasure. Wouldn't that be a mutually beneficial arrangement, far better than us risking our lives to kill each other?"

Cao Xing's suggestion immediately piqued the interest of the Red-Scaled Python.

If they are dragons in a well, their magical power is weak, and if they join forces, they might not be without a chance.

Seeing the python hesitate, Cao Xing continued, "I have said all I have to say. If you are unwilling, then we can fight to the death. However, judging from your cultivation, it seems that it is suppressed by the strange object. You may not be able to unleash even two-thirds of your abilities. In a life-or-death battle, we will only end up with both of us being injured."

Cao Xing's words really startled the red-scaled python.

He had been placed under a restriction by the King of Inspiration, and was required to hand over one-third of his cultivation.

This matter was top secret, but I never expected that this cultivator would see through it.

This made it temporarily trust Cao Xing's words.

Moreover, if it really came down to a life-or-death struggle, given my current state, I'm afraid we'd both end up severely injured.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

If you can't obtain the method to transform into a dragon, what's the point of fighting so hard?

"Fine, I'll believe you for now. But do you dare to form an alliance with me? If you break the agreement, may you be struck down by heaven and earth."

"You underestimate me. So what if I add another one: my soul is scattered?"

"good!"

The red-scaled python's brow flickered, and a ray of light flew out and hovered between the two.

This is a contract, the contents of which are as stated above.

After Cao Xing sent a wisp of his spiritual power up, the covenant split in two, one part remaining in Cao Xing's body like a brand, while the other part disappeared into the forehead of the red-scaled man.

This scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.

【Wait, I just took a nap and we've already formed an alliance with this kid?!】

【I've already bought the sunflower seeds, aren't you going to fight anymore??】

[Oh no, oh no, this is all over! This beast has been seduced and subdued, how can he possibly steal the incense now?]

Oh my god, this is terrible! Heavens above, can anyone lend me some money?!

Where is the person in charge of Ling Sheng Palace? Come out for tea, I'll treat you to a lavish meal!

[Ling Sheng Palace, your traitorous servant has been seduced and subjugated! You come out here right now!]

Curses filled the Heavenly Net like a tidal wave, and the person in charge of the Spirit Saint Palace had already hidden away, not daring to utter a single word.

Are Golden Core Demon Kings really that powerful?

The total amount of bets placed by Ling Sheng Palace is now frighteningly high. If he dares to show his face, these people will really chop him into eight pieces and make fish head soup from his head.
