Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 615 The Situation Changes Again [Please Subscribe]

Anything struck by the [Spatial Blade] will have a blade-shaped hole appear if it cannot completely block the cut. The contents inside will disappear in a strange way, as if entering the legendary outer void.

At that time, this was the situation when the golden unicorn's head was cut by the pale silver light blade. A part of the contents of its head was lost forever, including flesh, bones and even brain matter!

At the same time, due to the influence of the residual spatial power, the blade-shaped hole could not even heal and could not be filled with blood!

This is also the most unique effect of spatial attack techniques, which is difficult to achieve with other attribute techniques.

The golden unicorn, having a hole punched in its head, naturally did not die immediately.

For a fourth-tier high-grade demon beast like it, unless its demon soul is completely annihilated or its demon core is shattered, the injuries to its physical body are unlikely to cause it to perish immediately.

However, as long as it is still a body of flesh and blood, once a hole is opened in the most important part of the head, a loss of consciousness will inevitably occur.

Before the fifth level, the mind and the body are still two inseparable parts, and neither can be called a life on its own!

This is even more evident in demonic beasts that only cultivate their physical bodies.

So in that instant, the golden unicorn's consciousness crashed, and its thoughts stopped functioning.

Zhou Chun, of course, would not let such a golden opportunity slip by.

Taking advantage of the golden unicorn's weakened defenses and its mental state crashing, he activated his divine sense, and the [Heavenly Gang Thunder Slash Sword] transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting towards the unicorn and piercing through the hole in its head.

One after another, streaks of Heavenly Divine Thunder Sword Qi burst forth, destroying the Golden Unicorn's brain and cerebellum from the inside, almost annihilating its demonic soul!

However, the Golden Unicorn was, after all, a fourth-tier high-grade demon beast, and even though its physical body perished, it did not die immediately.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from its mouth, and a glittering golden demon core, carrying a faint, illusory golden unicorn figure, shot out, attempting to escape the place.

Those are its demon core and demon soul.

If it really escapes, it might have a chance to possess another body and be reborn.

However, it is not a fifth-order demon king, and its demon core and demon soul cannot possess the "teleportation" supernatural power.

Although the speed was very fast due to the burst of power from the demon core, it was still not as fast as Zhou Chun's lightning divine power.

Suddenly, Zhou Chun, who had transformed into a human-faced thunder dragon, opened his mouth and spat out a large net of silver lightning power that flew out and instantly captured the demon core along with the demon soul.

Lightning is the most effective force against evil spirits and ghosts. Since the souls of fourth-tier demonic beasts have not undergone the baptism of heavenly tribulation, they are powerless against the force of lightning.

Even with the protection of the demon core, it was quickly reduced to ashes by the bombardment of lightning.

Then Zhou Chun reached out and grabbed the out-of-control demon core, which flew back into his dragon claw.

After confirming the fall of the Golden Unicorn, Zhou Chun immediately dispelled his fusion transformation, then put away the demon core and the corpse of the Golden Unicorn, and hurriedly went forward to check on the injuries of the Flame Phoenix.

The collision with the golden unicorn had seriously injured it.

Even though the Fire Phoenix clan is a race with strong self-healing abilities, its wounds were still dripping with phoenix blood.

This scene was incredibly heartbreaking for Zhou Chun.

He hurriedly took out a bunch of healing demonic creatures from his storage bag, and without caring whether any of them were useful or not, he fed them all to the Fiery Phoenix.

He wasn't worried that the Flame Phoenix's injuries would be life-threatening. With the [Rebirth from the Ashes] supernatural power, the Flame Phoenix could recover from even the most severe injuries unless it was directly killed and its demonic soul was annihilated.

However, once the [Rebirth from the Ashes] divine power is unleashed, the Fiery Phoenix will consume one of its true phoenix feathers, effectively reducing its cultivation by several decades!

This is something Zhou Chun desperately wants to avoid.

Fortunately, the healing pills that he had asked Luo Qingni to refine earlier were not wasted. After feeding the Flame Phoenix some rare spiritual pills made from thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, the wounds of the Flame Phoenix finally stopped bleeding temporarily.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly put it back into the spirit beast bag to rest.

After treating the injured Flame Phoenix, Zhou Chun looked around at the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the human race had gained an absolute advantage. After the golden unicorn fell, the fourth-tier demon beasts had basically lost their will to fight and began to flee.

This is actually the best opportunity to expand the gains.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun had already exhausted his mana by slaying three fourth-tier demonic beasts, and the Thunder Flood Dragon Bai Bai was also in poor condition due to merging with him. The only one who still had the strength to fight was the Golden-Winged Tiger, which had the lowest cultivation level.

So after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing the pursuit.

As the beast horde scattered in all directions along with the fleeing fourth-tier demon beasts, Master Qianmu, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't help but show himself and came to Zhou Chun's side.

"This junior greets Senior Chiki!"

Zhou Chun bowed respectfully upon seeing Qianmu Zhenren appear on his own initiative.

"Haha, young friend Zhou, you're too kind. You've displayed incredible power today, slaying three demons in one go. It's truly an eye-opener for this old man!"

Master Qianmu laughed heartily, waving his hand at Zhou Chun with a broad smile, praising his performance today.

This attitude was completely different from when Zhou Chun first met him.

This fully demonstrates that Zhou Chun's performance today has completely won his approval.

At this moment, Zhou Chun became humble, "Senior, you are too kind. In front of a senior like you, my amateur skills are nothing more than children playing house. I really don't dare to praise you so highly!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qianmu replied sincerely, "Young friend Zhou, you are mistaken! The supernatural abilities you displayed today, even in my eyes, are quite unique and distinctive, and are very enlightening!"

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Especially that spatial attack technique, it truly broadened my horizons!"

Hearing his sigh, Zhou Chun was speechless for a moment.

A moment of modesty can be considered politeness, but blind modesty that ignores the facts is hypocrisy.

Spatial attack techniques are extremely rare, as any cultivator with some knowledge of them knows.

To put it bluntly, if Zhou Chun were the one who mastered this supernatural power, even if he had successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he would definitely have gotten himself into a lot of trouble because of it.

Fortunately, this is just the Golden-Winged Tiger's innate supernatural ability.

As is widely known, the innate supernatural abilities of demonic beasts have no cultivation method; at most, they can only be used as a reference.

Therefore, Zhou Chun didn't need to worry that Master Qianmu would covet him.

After a brief silence, Zhou Chun changed the subject, saying, "In Senior Qianmu's opinion, did my performance today meet your approval?"

Upon hearing his question, Senki no Makoto couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke, "Originally, I didn't take Zhou's request seriously. With the war situation unclear, it would be a waste of talent to have a Nascent Soul cultivator give up mobility to come and protect you."

At this point, he looked intently at Zhou Chun and said, "However, after seeing your performance today, I really need to reconsider your application. With your talent and abilities, once exposed, it's very likely to attract the attention of a fifth-tier demon king!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly replied respectfully, "Senior, you are wise. I am not boasting. With my strength, if no fifth-tier demon king comes, there is basically no fourth-tier demon beast that can defeat me. If you want to truly restrain me, you would have to arrange for a few high-grade fourth-tier demon beasts!"

"However, the number of fourth-tier high-grade demonic beasts is extremely rare. If they gather in one place, I can easily avoid their attacks. But if they are scattered in different places, they will be completely unable to restrain me!"

He paused slightly, then added, "Furthermore, I possess a four-clawed thunder dragon. Such a dragon is rare even in Dragon Abyss Swamp. Previously, it attracted the personal attention of a fifth-tier thunder dragon demon king, and it is very likely that it will attract the covetous eyes of another fifth-tier demon king!"

"Therefore, without the protection of a senior like you, Senpai, I truly cannot feel at ease giving my all to fight the enemy on the battlefield!"

In the end, his words subtly revealed his true intentions.

His true thoughts were simple: if Senki no Makoto couldn't grant his request, he would prioritize his own safety in future battles and wouldn't truly exert his full strength.

In that case, it's hard to say whether a Nascent Soul cultivator who can't freely slaughter monsters below the fifth rank is actually more effective on the battlefield than Zhou Chun.

Senki no Makoto naturally understood this principle.

Therefore, he did not ignore Zhou Chun's words, but nodded solemnly and said, "I understand, and I will give this matter serious consideration."

Zhou Chun was satisfied with his statement and stopped there, not putting any more pressure on him.

Soon after, the Golden Core and Purple Mansion stage cultivators who had been chasing them all returned to the original site of Baijiang Market. Then, Master Qianmu took out a complete set of mountain-protecting array equipment and set up a new array on the spot.

It turns out that this Nascent Soul stage cultivator is also a master of formations!

With the help of Nascent Soul cultivator and array master Qianmu Zhenren, and with the assistance of numerous Golden Core and Purple Mansion cultivators following his instructions, this mountain-protecting array was set up in less than a day.

Once the formation was complete, Master Qianmu immediately ordered the late-stage Golden Core cultivator with the compound surname Situ to lead a team of several Golden Core cultivators to Yuezhou to meet the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, it's easier to maintain the operation of the Spirit Purification Array by using these mid-to-low-level cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you interested in selling your Blue Flood Dragon Demon Core? I, Wu, am willing to offer a high price for it!"

Inside the Baijiangfang Market Ruins, Zhou Chun, who had just finished resting and stepped out of his resting stone chamber, was entangled by a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who wanted to buy the demon core from him.

Just as he had thought, the opportunity to kill a fourth-order demon beast was extremely rare, so even among Golden Core cultivators, a fourth-order demon core was hard to come by, let alone a dragon demon core!

However, a mid-grade fourth-tier blue dragon demon core is extremely precious, so why would Zhou Chun be willing to exchange it with someone?

He immediately said, "If Fellow Daoist Wu can offer a fourth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Core in exchange, I, Zhou, can consider this deal."

This is a polite way of saying no.

After all, he knew very well that the other party could not possibly produce such a treasure.

However, the cultivator surnamed Wu was clearly not so easily discouraged. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I naturally cannot produce a fourth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Core, but I did obtain a low-grade fourth-tier fire-attribute demon core during this battle. I am willing to exchange this core with two thousand-year-old precious herbs for Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

However, Zhou Chun didn't even ask what those two thousand-year-old treasure herbs were, and simply shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, but I won't exchange this Blue Dragon Demon Core for anything other than a fourth-tier Thunder Dragon Demon Core or some other higher-quality thunder attribute demon core!"

After directly refusing the other party, Zhou Chun ignored their somewhat unpleasant expression, made a polite remark, and went to find someone else to exchange demon cores with.

Just as the cultivator surnamed Wu wanted the demon core in his possession, he also coveted the demon cores in the possession of other cultivators that matched the attributes of his spirit pet, and wanted to exchange them with those people using the magic treasures he had that he could not use.

In times of war, magical artifacts are quite attractive to some Golden Core cultivators, and there may be opportunities to make some deals.

Just as Zhou Chun was reluctant to part with the fourth-tier blue dragon demon core in his hand, those mid-stage and late-stage Golden Core cultivators who had obtained fourth-tier demon cores also seemed unwilling to part with the demon cores that had not yet been properly stored.

Zhou Chun asked several people, but none of them succeeded.

However, he wasn't in a hurry; as long as the war wasn't over, there would be plenty of opportunities.

Moreover, although no one was willing to sell fourth-tier demon cores, some Purple Mansion stage cultivators were still willing to use third-tier demon cores to exchange for other treasures.

Zhou Chun took the opportunity to exchange some fourth-order magic talismans and talisman treasures that he himself did not need for several third-order demon cores.

Therefore, it can be inferred that if the human race achieves a great victory after this beast tide, not only will the Zhou family, renowned for its beast-taming skills, experience a meteoric rise, but other forces that benefit from the war will also likely reap significant benefits in alchemy and beast taming.

After all, obtaining large quantities of treasures like demon cores is not easy under normal circumstances.

On the third day after Baijiangfang was recaptured, a major battle also broke out at Sujiashanmen.

This battle was commanded by the [Azure-Eyed Golden Ape] that Zhou Chun had fought before. A total of 60,000 to 70,000 demonic beasts and eight fourth-tier demonic beasts launched a fierce attack on the Su family's mountain gate, making the cultivators inside the Su family's mountain gate truly feel the terror of the beast tide.

Fortunately, there were four Golden Core cultivators and a fourth-order demon beast inside the Su family's mountain gate at this time. With the help of the mountain gate's great formation, they managed to barely hold back the beast tide's attack.

Zhou Chun was naturally very concerned about the battle situation at the Su Family Mountain Gate, and even once asked Master Qianmu for permission to go and provide assistance.

However, Master Qianmu sensed the aura of a fifth-tier demon king and concluded that a fifth-tier demon king was lurking outside Baijiang Market, so he dared not send reinforcements from this side.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Su family's mountain gate that was under attack at this time; multiple strongholds along the Jiangzhou line were also being fiercely attacked by the beast tide, and reinforcements had to be used where they were most needed.

The good news is that, after fully recognizing the dangers of this beast tide, the countries of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance have quickly reached a consensus, and various forms of aid are pouring into Jing Kingdom in waves, with new reinforcements arriving every day.

From this perspective, perhaps Yasukuni should really thank the Yuanmo Legion for their invasion.

If it weren't for the invasion of the Yuanmo Legion that led the Tianling nations to form an alliance after feeling the crisis, it would be impossible for so many countries to reach a consensus on providing support now.

However, just when Zhou Chun and many Jingguo cultivators thought that the situation would get better and better as more and more reinforcements arrived, the battlefield situation changed dramatically again!

Without any warning, 50,000 "Dragon Court Warriors" suddenly appeared in Yuezhou. Within half a day, they breached the gates of the Tao family in Yuezhou and slaughtered the entire Tao family and thousands of reinforcements who were being reorganized there!

In this battle alone, as many as five Golden Core stage cultivators perished, and the remaining Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators suffered even greater losses.

After capturing the Tao family's mountain gate in Yuezhou, these "Dragon Court Warriors" split into several groups and attacked other cultivation families' mountain gates in Yuezhou, destroying mountains and families along the way, causing a bloodbath!

The impact of this incident was almost comparable to the breaching of the Qinglian Temple's main gate.

Not only because of the enormous losses it caused, but also because the appearance of so many "Dragon Court Warriors" indicates that the attitude of the Flood Dragon Clan in launching this beast tide is very unusual.

In the past, most of those beast tides were caused by people feeling the increasing pressure from neighboring human kingdoms. They wanted to disrupt the development of these kingdoms, relieve the pressure, and also eliminate some old and depleted monsters.

However, the fact that even the "Dragon Court Warriors" have been deployed to the battlefield on a large scale indicates that the purpose of the dragon clan's beast tide is likely not just to cause destruction.

They might really want to completely overturn the cultivation world of Yasukuni and turn this place back into a wilderness of monsters!

If such a thing were to actually happen, the various cultivation forces that once existed in Jingguo would likely be forced to wander far from home, becoming homeless dogs.

Therefore, the impact of this matter is enormous, so much so that all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators need to hold another meeting to discuss the next course of action.

One thing they had to admit was that if the Jiaolong clan was really determined to overthrow the cultivation world of Jingguo, then the power of their Heavenly Spirit Alliance alone might not be enough to stop them!

After all, the power that the Flood Dragon Clan can control is too vast. Even if the transcendent being, the Golden Horned Dragon King, is removed, the number of fifth-tier demon kings that the Flood Dragon Clan can unleash will not be less than the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Tianling Kingdom. The number of fourth-tier demon beasts and other demon beasts will far exceed the number of human cultivators of the same realm.

After all, high-level demonic beasts generally have a longer lifespan than human cultivators, and the accumulated number is definitely considerable.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there weren't many high-level demonic beasts in the wilderness before. That was simply because the Dragon Transformation Sect had occupied that area, and many fourth-tier demonic beasts had been ordered by the Flood Dragon Clan to migrate to the depths of the wilderness.

In the depths of the wilderness, where human cultivators can hardly set foot, the number of fourth-tier and third-tier demonic beasts is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The environment there is more suitable for monsters to live in. Monsters living there are more likely to break through and advance in rank, and there are also many kinds of spiritual objects that are beneficial to the growth of monsters.

In fact, the same is true for Longyuan. The vast majority of the high-level demonic beasts in Longyuan Marsh have gone to the depths of Longyuan, which are more suitable for their cultivation. That place is also a forbidden zone for human cultivators!

Therefore, if the Jiaolong clan is determined to turn Jingguo into a wilderness of monsters, the power of the Tianling Alliance alone will hardly be able to resist them.

It's impossible for any country or faction to risk the extinction of their sect's lineage by sending all their forces to Yasukuni to stop the beast tide!

"The actions of the Flood Dragon Clan have crossed the line. This is no longer just a simple beast tide attack; it could very well be a major event that reignites a war between our two races. This matter must be immediately reported to all the human nations and the Venerable One of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Inside the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, True Person Silver Moon, representing the Jing Kingdom, solemnly presented his opinion to True Person Kunxu.

In the previous battle at the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, True Person Xuan Yue sacrificed himself to summon the sect's strongest weapon and slew four demon kings in succession. This achievement not only terrified many fifth-tier demon kings but also shocked many Nascent Soul cultivators who learned of it afterward.

Therefore, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Kunxu Zhenren, who was currently inside the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, dared not underestimate Yinyue Zhenren, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

After hearing what the other party said, he quickly nodded solemnly and replied, "Fellow Daoist Silver Moon is right. I will immediately contact Senior Yuan Yang and request your wise judgment!"

Being able to directly contact Venerable Yuanyang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was a special benefit that True Man Kunxu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, received after the Heavenly Spirit Alliance ambushed the Golden Horned Dragon King.

It is evident that Venerable Yuanyang must have foreseen some things at the time, which is why he intentionally left this contact information.

However, even if the Nascent Soul Venerable One is living in seclusion or traveling around incognito, even if True Person Kunxu has a way to contact him, it may not be possible to contact him in a short time and get him to come to Jingguo to take charge.

Therefore, while contacting the Nascent Soul Venerable, they also adopted the most conservative strategy, focusing all their efforts on defending the various medium and large strongholds, and temporarily relying on the mountain-protecting formation and the beast tide to wear them down.

Zhou Chun was naturally not qualified to know about such top-level decisions.

Three days after the attack in Yuezhou, he was successfully granted permission to return to Sujiashanmen.

Because the "Dragon Court Warriors" from Yuezhou are also returning to Jiangzhou at this moment, seemingly intending to join forces with the main force of the beast tide here and completely conquer the entire territory of Jiangzhou.

Under such circumstances, several large strongholds in Jiangzhou, such as the Su Family Mountain Gate, became places that the Heavenly Spirit Alliance had to defend, even more important than the newly rebuilt Baijiang Market.

Therefore, this time not only will Zhou Chun return to the Su Family Mountain Gate, but also True Person Qianmu will go with him. At the same time, several Nascent Soul stage True Persons have secretly arrived in Yuezhou and Jiangzhou to prevent a fifth-order demon king from breaking the tacit agreement again.
