Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 617 The Great Battle of Nascent Souls [End]

The battle between the gods was so fierce that it was no exaggeration to say that the heavens and earth trembled.

At this level, every strike possesses earth-shattering power.

That's why the will of Heaven restricts such beings, preventing them from going all out.

Otherwise, if these Nascent Soul beings were allowed to act arbitrarily and change the world, who knows what this world would become!

In the last great battle between Venerable Yuanyang and the Golden Horned Dragon King, neither side actually used their full strength, nor did they truly intend to kill each other.

But this time, the Golden Horned Dragon King broke through to the sixth level and launched a great beast tide to avenge his grievances, deliberately provoking him to show himself. A true battle of the Nascent Soul stage is now inevitable!

Above Longyuan, streaks of fire-elemental divine light shone brightly, and the multicolored flames transformed into a boundless sea of ​​fire, seemingly poised to burn the heavens and boil the seas!

The water below was indeed steaming under the high temperature, as if a thick fog covered the vast water area, creating the magnificent scene of "Steaming Dragon Abyss Lake".

Amidst the endless sea of ​​fire and steam clouds, a golden dragon, like a legendary divine dragon, appeared and disappeared intermittently, occasionally revealing a scale or a claw, enough to astound anyone.

Fortunately, the battlefield was located above Dragon Abyss. If it were in the human cultivation world, such a grand spectacle of immortals fighting dragons would surely attract many cultivators to risk their lives to watch.

Judging from the scene, the Golden Horned Dragon King seemed to be suppressed by Venerable Yuanyang and was no match for him.

But the reality is quite different.

In reality, Venerable Yuanyang took advantage of his early breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage and his deep understanding and application of the laws, choosing this fighting style that was most advantageous to him.

The Golden Horned Dragon King's decision to enter the sea of ​​fire to fight him stemmed from his confidence in his own physical body.

Humans cultivate magic, while demons refine their bodies.

This is not absolute, but it is indeed a difference in the mainstream cultivation paths of the two races.

Human cultivators cultivate various powerful supernatural abilities by comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.

The demon race, on the other hand, achieves the state of spontaneous supernatural powers by tapping into the potential of their physical bodies and bloodlines.

There is no definitive conclusion yet as to which cultivation method is superior, because there are powerful individuals who have reached the pinnacle of both!

However, both sides are cultivating themselves in a direction that is more beneficial to themselves.

For example, at this moment, the Golden Horned Dragon King was bathed in divine light, his whole body roaming freely in the endless sea of ​​fire. The various true fires that could easily kill Nascent Soul cultivators were difficult to refine even the protective divine light on his body.

With his current defense, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to break a single dragon scale with a full-force attack from a spiritual treasure!

However, it would be very difficult for him to attack Venerable Yuanyang.

In this endless sea of ​​fire, even without using the "teleportation" supernatural power, Venerable Yuanyang could freely change his location through his miraculous fire escape technique, making it impossible for him to find his target.

This made him unable to resist opening his mouth and loudly mocking, "Old man Yuanyang, are you a rat? If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

Before he could finish speaking, Venerable Yuanyang chuckled mockingly, "Little mudfish, you asked for this yourself!"

Immediately, the Golden Horned Dragon King sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to use his exquisite escape technique to leave the spot.

Unexpectedly, a series of dragon roars suddenly rose from the sea of ​​fire, and suddenly, fire dragons thousands of feet long condensed from all directions, forming a fiery cage that trapped him inside.

"This [Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation] of mine was created specifically for you demons. Today, I'll let you, little mudfish, test its true power for me!"

Outside the fire cage, Venerable Yuanyang appeared, his smiling hands continuously casting spells, causing the flames inside the fire cage to suddenly rise in temperature, transforming into raging fires of law.

The Golden Horned Dragon King was still too inexperienced. He had never fought against a human Nascent Soul cultivator and was too confident in himself, so he recklessly entered the sea of ​​fire that the dragon king had set up.

At this moment, the Golden Horned Dragon King also realized the mistake he had made.

The protective divine light on his body began to shrink and dim rapidly under the refinement of the law fire, unable to withstand such heavenly might of the law.

A Nascent Soul cultivator, through comprehending and utilizing the power of the laws of heaven and earth, can integrate laws that resonate with their own into their supernatural abilities and spells, greatly enhancing their power.

For example, at this moment, Venerable Yuanyang has integrated the power of the fire attribute law into the flames, giving rise to the law fire. Even a sixth-order saint like the Golden Horned Dragon King would be severely injured if he got involved with it, even if he didn't die.

Even if a magical treasure encounters the flames here, most of them will lose their spirituality and turn into molten iron after only a few breaths!

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the only way out is to break the so-called "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation" and escape the cage.

After all, no matter how powerful the flames of law are, they are only effective if they can actually burn him!

Immediately, golden light condensed above the Golden Horned Dragon King's head, and soon an unstoppable golden blade of light slashed forward through the air.

Wherever the golden blade of light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, leaving a long-lasting, silvery-white crack.

Even the cage that confined him could not withstand the attack of this metal-elemental law blade, and a gap was directly cut open.

But just as he was about to escape through the gap, a gourd suddenly blocked the gap. Blue, purple and gold flames surged from the gourd's mouth, and Samadhi True Fire surged out, instantly engulfing him and forcing him back.

Once an opportunity is missed, it is gone in an instant.

The cage, which had been shattered, was quickly restored to its original state, and a burst of Samadhi Fire appeared inside the fire cage.

Seeing this, the Golden Horned Dragon King knew that one wrong step would lead to another, and that he would have to resort to extraordinary measures to reverse the decline!

Fortunately, he had actually prepared a special method to deal with Venerable Yuanyang.

Immediately, he opened his mouth and spat out a long black river.

Streams of black water gushed from his mouth, transforming into a black water dragon that lunged at the fire cage barrier in front of him.

When the billowing black water poured over them, both the Law Fire and the Samadhi True Fire were extinguished in large quantities, and a corner of the fire cage was completely destroyed!

This time, the Golden Horned Dragon King did not miss the opportunity again. He quickly rushed out through the gap and sucked back most of the remaining black water in one gulp.

"You little mudfish, you've actually refined so much Profound Nether True Water. Is this your killing move to deal with me?"

Yuan Yang Venerable's surprised words rang out from the sea of ​​fire, showing his astonishment at the Golden Horned Dragon King's move.

He never considered actually trapping and killing the other party; that was simply unrealistic.

But no one expected the other side to break the deadlock in this way.

"You old bastard Yuanyang, you'll taste my methods too!"

The Golden Horned Dragon King, which had been trapped and was about to ascend to heaven, roared angrily. Its body was surrounded by thousands of golden rays that intertwined into a rosy cloud, which then condensed into clouds and transformed into a sea. Suddenly, it turned into a vast golden ocean that swept towards the endless sea of ​​fire.

"Metal and water complement each other, water transforms into metal. You're not stupid, little mudfish, but your methods are still a bit too naive!"

Yuan Yang Venerable was colliding with the sea of ​​fire and the golden ocean, and he even had the leisure to comment on the opponent's supernatural powers, which shows that he did not use his full strength.

However, his tone of instructing a junior as a senior clearly angered the Golden Horned Dragon King.

A furious dragon roar resounded, and a golden pearl appeared in the sky, as dazzling as a golden sun.

"So you've gotten angry so quickly?"

The Venerable Yuanyang's tone was still somewhat playful, but his eyes had become very serious.

Only a powerful figure like him could sense the immense power contained within that precious pearl!

Compared to humans, demons are not as skilled at crafting weapons.

However, some of the demon race's heirloom treasures are incredibly powerful.

This is because these heirloom treasures all share a common characteristic: they can continuously grow stronger by absorbing the power sacrificed by their owners before their deaths!

Just like that golden jewel that appeared in the sky at that moment.

This treasure, also known as the Dragon God Pearl, is a renowned sacred artifact passed down through generations of the Flood Dragon Clan. It is ranked as a mid-grade Heavenly Treasure and is just one step away from being upgraded to a high-grade Heavenly Treasure!

This treasure has been passed down through the Jiaolong clan for many years. Every Jiaolong clan demon king who wields this treasure will sacrifice their own essence, blood, demon soul, and demon core to this treasure before their death, thereby enhancing its spiritual power.

If the Golden Horned Dragon King does the same thing before his death, there is a good chance that it will completely transform and evolve into a top-grade Heavenly Treasure!

In that case, this treasure might even have a chance to compete for the title of the number one magic treasure in this world!

In contrast, the Samadhi True Fire Gourd in the hands of Venerable Yuanyang was merely a relatively decent low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

The enhancement that magical artifacts provide to a cultivator's strength is absolutely undeniable.

Even though the Dragon God Pearl is not an offensive type of Heavenly Treasure, its power is still enough to make Venerable Yuanyang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, dare not underestimate it in the slightest.

At some point, the Samadhi True Fire Gourd had transformed into a giant gourd tens of feet long and appeared in the sky. The three colors of true fire—blue, purple, and gold—surged out and transformed into a three-colored fire unicorn that pounced towards the Golden Horned Dragon King.

At the same time, a long dragon roar resounded from within the [Dragon God Pearl], which suddenly transformed into a black-gold dragon to meet the three-colored fire qilin.

The black-gold dragon spewed out black divine light, clashing with the Samadhi True Fire breathed out by the three-colored fire qilin. It easily gained the upper hand and extinguished the Samadhi True Fire.

This scene caused Venerable Yuanyang's expression to change drastically.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! So this so-called [Dragon God Pearl] is actually something that can be used to house a second primordial spirit, allowing a person to create a dragon avatar with the same cultivation level as themselves, but wielding different elemental powers!"

He muttered to himself, his gaze towards the [Dragon God Pearl] instantly filled with fervent desire.

Only a Nascent Soul Venerable like him could understand how precious such a treasure was, which could serve as a vessel for a second primordial spirit, let alone a primordial spirit incarnation with the same cultivation level as himself!

As for the claim that this item is a sacred relic inherited by the Jiaolong clan, and that only the Jiaolong clan can refine and use it, he paid no attention to it.

As a Nascent Soul stage Venerable, once a treasure is in one's hands, there are naturally many ways to refine it for one's own use.

"It seems I really have to give it my all today!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately roused his spirits and unleashed his full power to fight the Golden Horned Dragon King.

However, Venerable Yuanyang seemed to have underestimated the power of a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Although the Dragon God Pearl is not purely a weapon, the difference of one grade is more than enough for the Golden Horned Dragon King to use it to make up for the gap between himself and Venerable Yuan Yang in the application of the power of laws.

Furthermore, although the Golden Horned Dragon King's advancement to the sixth rank was not long ago, it also means that he is less affected by the will of Heaven.

He was more uninhibited in battle than Venerable Yuanyang.

After such an earth-shattering battle, Venerable Yuanyang not only failed to gain any advantage, but also suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao because he mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and used various powerful divine abilities with all his might!

Fortunately, as a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, he also possessed secret techniques to deal with the backlash damage from the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, relying on secret techniques to forcibly suppress the backlash damage from the Heavenly Dao, Venerable Yuanyang also risked being unable to fight for the next hundred years to forcibly condense a sword of law flames and strike the Golden Horned Dragon King's true form.

This sword strike not only shattered the Golden Horned Dragon King's impenetrable defense, but also left an indelible wound of law within its body, enough to make it take decades to heal!

After unleashing this sword strike, Venerable Yuanyang did not linger any longer and immediately used his "teleportation" ability, quickly disappearing from the Golden Horned Dragon King's sensing range through continuous teleportation.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator tries to escape, it will be very difficult for the other to catch up unless they have overwhelming power over the other.

Because the "teleportation" supernatural power of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator is not the castrated version of that of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. A single long-distance "teleportation" can reach hundreds or thousands of miles, and it can be used dozens of times in a row!

However, the exact range of long-distance "teleportation" is difficult to determine; you can't just appear wherever you want!

Therefore, as long as someone uses supernatural powers to escape first, even if the pursuer also possesses such supernatural powers, the gap between them may widen with each subsequent chase.

The Golden Horned Dragon King had only recently broken through to the sixth rank, and given that demon saints generally had lower attainments in "teleportation" than human deity venerables unless they possessed spatial attributes, it was simply impossible for them to catch up with Venerable Yuanyang.

Besides, he might not dare to keep chasing after it!

Why did he provoke Venerable Yuanyang to come to Longyuanze to find him, instead of personally attacking Venerable Yuanyang's cave?

There's definitely a reason for this!

At this moment, he gazed in the direction where Venerable Yuanyang had departed and pondered for a moment before whispering, "That old man Yuanyang broke through to the Nascent Soul stage more than two thousand years earlier than me. Even he is no match for me now. It seems that even if I go to the heart of the human race, I am quite confident that I can leave!"

"In this way, once I have recovered from my injuries, I can travel far and wide, visiting and making connections with fellow demons and other races!"

Generally, once a fifth-tier demon king is able to transform into a human, he can conceal his identity and infiltrate the human cultivation world to travel.

They conceal their demonic characteristics using illusions or shapeshifting techniques, making it difficult for anyone other than Nascent Soul cultivators or late-stage Golden Core cultivators with exceptionally strong spiritual sense to see through their disguise.

However, there are actually not many demon kings who dare to travel to the human cultivation world.

Because once their identity is exposed, they are likely to be surrounded and killed by human Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Demons like the Golden Horned Dragon King, who possess great treasures, dare not easily leave the Dragon Abyss area!

So even though he has lived for two or three thousand years, he has never really been to other demon territories in this world.

This has always been a source of regret for him.

Now that he has broken through to the sixth rank and defeated Venerable Yuanyang in battle, he has not only vented his anger but also gained confidence, which has given him the desire to travel around the world.

After all, the most taboo thing in cultivation is to be narrow-minded. Even if he was exceptionally talented, he had exhausted his bloodline potential after breaking through to the sixth level.

If you don't want to be stuck at the sixth-tier lower level for the rest of your life, you should travel more and communicate with other demon saints and even alien powerhouses.

On the other hand, Venerable Yuanyang would certainly not reveal that he had been defeated.

After his battle with the Golden Horned Dragon King, he basically understood that the other party did not truly intend to provoke a war between the two races.

Since that's the case, then for a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, these are all trivial matters and not worth wasting any more energy on.

Therefore, he only sent a message to Master Kunxu, informing him of his judgment, without mentioning a word about his battle with the Golden Horned Dragon King!

Even so, the Nascent Soul cultivators, including Kunxu Zhenren and Yinyue Zhenren, who had received a positive reply from Venerable Yuanyang, all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a real war between the two races, then even if this beast tide is quite strong, it's still completely within their ability to cope.

Yinyue Zhenren immediately looked at Kunxu Zhenren and said, "Fellow Daoist Kunxu, since it won't trigger a war between the two races, then we no longer need to have any concerns, right? This beast tide has already caused immense suffering to the people of Jing Kingdom. If this continues, the entire Jing Kingdom will be wiped out!"

His words were certainly an exaggeration, but they also illustrate the seriousness of the matter.

Currently, half of the Jing Kingdom has been submerged by the beast tide, and countless mortals have died or been injured.

Even if the beast tide is completely driven back now, it will take at least a hundred years to restore the number of mortals!

The mortal realm is the foundation of the cultivation world. Without a sufficient number of mortals, not only will various sects find it difficult to recruit enough disciples, but the number of independent cultivators will also be greatly reduced.

With fewer disciples and not enough independent cultivators to command and utilize, it will become very difficult for various sects to recover their vitality.

Therefore, True Person Silver Moon naturally wanted to drive away the beast tide and restore peace as soon as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Silver Moon is right. I will contact the other fellow Daoists immediately to discuss the counterattack!"

After a moment's thought, Master Kunxu decided to give Master Yinyue face and immediately agreed to her proposal.

While the upper-level cultivators were busy holding meetings to discuss how to end the beast tide, the battle for the Su family's mountain gate broke out again.

This time, the beast horde outside received a large number of reinforcements, including 20,000 "Dragon Court Warriors"!

The number of beasts surrounding the Su family's mountain gate has reached a staggering 100,000!

The number of various fourth-tier demonic beasts exceeded fifteen!

The Azure-Eyed Golden Ape was no longer the leader of the beast horde; instead, it was replaced by a fourth-tier superior-grade Thunder Flood Dragon. In addition, a fourth-tier superior-grade Dragon Turtle Demon Beast also arrived at this place.

The appearance of three high-grade fourth-tier demonic beasts put immense pressure on Zhou Chun, who was in the Su family's mountain gate.

If he could use all his abilities, he might not be afraid of these three high-grade fourth-tier demonic beasts.

However, with his hands and feet tied, he has no chance of defeating them based on his current strength alone.

It's even possible that both ends are his limits!

"I have already requested reinforcements from Baijiang Market and several other places, but whether they can send people in time, or even spare any, is still unknown. I'm afraid we'll have to rely on ourselves to hold off the initial onslaught of the beast tide!"

The Su family patriarch approached Zhou Chun with a somber expression and recounted what he had just done, his mood extremely unpleasant.

He had absolutely no idea whether the Su family sect could survive this calamity.

If the resistance fails, the Su family will suffer heavy losses!

After all, unlike the Zhou family, they didn't start transferring family members and assets years in advance. Once the mountain gate is breached, the losses will be incalculable!

"Now that things have come to this, all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate!"

Zhou Chun said in a low voice, feeling very helpless.

He has the power to kill enemies, but he cannot fully exert his strength to kill them. How frustrating is that!

The beasts outside did not give Zhou Chun and his group much time, and soon they formed a battle formation and launched an attack.

Perhaps due to the experience gained from using the lives of many demonic beasts, the beast horde's attack now showed much more order and strategy than their previous chaotic rush.

They try to disperse the formation of the beast horde to expand the attack area, so that even a Golden Core cultivator's large-scale attack spell will find it difficult to eliminate hundreds or thousands of low- to mid-level demonic beasts at once.

Meanwhile, the fourth-tier demonic beasts also formed groups of two or three based on their own characteristics. For example, those skilled in defense and attack formed a team, and they could support each other.

Then, together with the beast horde, they launched a fierce attack on the mountain-protecting formation.

Among them, the attack of the fourth-tier high-grade thunder dragon was undoubtedly the most conspicuous and eye-catching.

It stirred up clouds and summoned thunder in the sky, condensing a large thundercloud, and then urged the thundercloud to unleash bolts of silver-white lightning that struck the protective mountain array below.

Its attack alone caused damage to the formation equivalent to that of two other fourth-tier high-grade demonic beasts.

Even though the Su family's protective mountain formation was quite formidable, it quickly showed signs of fragility in the face of such a fierce attack.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that he absolutely could not let it continue, otherwise the Su family's mountain gate would definitely be breached within half a day.

Therefore, after communicating with several spirit pets, Zhou Chun led the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai and the Golden-Winged Tiger out of the formation and charged straight at the Thunder Dragon.

"You beast, take this!"

With a sharp shout, Zhou Chun unleashed the Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword, which pierced through the air and struck the evil dragon in the clouds.

At the same time, Lei Jiao Bai Bai fearlessly soared into the sky, eager to fight the evil dragon.

Only the Golden-Winged Tiger, burdened with a heavy responsibility, did not attack, but waited for an opportunity to strike, preparing a deadly move.

However, the fourth-tier demonic beasts naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Zhou Chun and his servant gang up on their leader. Soon, several fourth-tier demonic beasts that were nearby rushed over, intending to attack their master and servant.

Failed to reach the word count! Li Ning is trash, they wasted my time. Luckily there's no competition tomorrow. I'll get up early tomorrow to finish the word count. If I don't write 8,000 words by tomorrow, I'll chop my hand off!
