Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 737 Slaying Three Kings in Succession [Please Subscribe]

"So this is the spirit pearl within the Five Elements Spirit Clan? It certainly looks extraordinary; it's a treasure!"

Above the battlefield, Zhou Chun held a fist-sized, earth-yellow spirit bead in his hand. After examining it carefully, he nodded in satisfaction, took out a jade box, and sealed it inside.

Under the combined pursuit of him and Lord Fushan, the Earth Spirit Clan's Spirit King naturally couldn't escape. In the end, he didn't even have a chance to self-destruct his spirit orb before being frozen and killed by him.

A spirit pearl was found inside the body of the deceased Earth Spirit King.

For the Five Elements Spirit Clan, the spiritual pearl within their bodies is like the demon core of a demon beast; it is the essence of their life cultivation and the source of their power.

This clan possesses a talent that other clans envy: the power of the Spirit Pearl, which can be passed down to future generations through a special initiation ceremony!

In other words, if this fifth-order spirit pearl falls into the hands of another fourth-order high-grade earth spirit general, it is very likely that he can use this object to successfully advance to the fifth order!

Therefore, although the Five Elements Spirit Clan is few in number, the proportion of high-level beings is very high.

If it weren't for the difficulty in reproduction of this race, the numerous tribulations they encounter during their growth, and the formidable power of the Heavenly Tribulation, making it extremely difficult for a sixth-order being to be born, their achievements would definitely be far greater than this!

For human cultivators, the spirit pearls within the bodies of the Five Elements Spirit Clan are also excellent treasures for refining weapons and pills, even better than demon cores.

This is because the power within this spirit pearl is purer and more refined than that of a demon core of the same level, with fewer impurities.

When Zhou Chun unearthed this spiritual pearl, Lord Fushan was already somewhat restless, eager to devour it.

However, although Zhou Chun doted on these spirit pets, he did not let him devour the treasure this time.

Zhou Chun knew very well that even if Fu Shanjun's cultivation level increased significantly after absorbing the spirit pearl, compared to its growth rate, it would only save him about one or two hundred years of cultivation time.

One or two hundred years of cultivation is quite remarkable for a human cultivator.

However, when applied to Lord Fushan, it pales in comparison.

If Lord Fushan wants to advance to a mid-grade fifth-order demon king, he would need to cultivate diligently for at least one or two thousand years.

Therefore, unless it is later determined that this spirit orb cannot play a greater role in other aspects, Zhou Chun will not let the spirit pet devour it casually.

Otherwise, logically speaking, the demon core of that two-headed black dragon could have been absorbed by the Silver Dragon Lord to improve his cultivation.

After Zhou Chun killed a fifth-tier low-grade barbarian king and an earth spirit king, all the other fifth-tier alien beings were so frightened that they lost their will to fight and desperately fled using various methods.

This is precisely because plans can't keep up with changes.

Before the war even began, they made various plans, hoping to put some restrictions on the powerful figures on the human side.

However, after the war started, things did not develop as they had expected.

The Silver Dragon Lord, whom they most wanted to contain, was not in a hurry to join the battle from the beginning; he was simply focused on accumulating power to prepare his ultimate move.

The power of Lord Fushan far exceeded their expectations, making him far more terrifying than when they dealt with the two fifth-tier corpse kings.

Once the plan was disrupted and casualties occurred, it was only natural that the alien race, which already had far fewer fifth-tier beings, would quickly collapse.

As for these defeated and fleeing fifth-tier alien beings, the human race naturally wouldn't let go of the good opportunity to pursue and kill them, and they all took the opportunity to chase after their fleeing targets.

Zhou Chun and his spirit pets were the same; they had no intention of stopping and immediately selected their targets to pursue them.

Zhou Chun himself was in a group with Yinlongjun, chasing after the Heavenly Soul Clan expert who came to their aid from behind.

This person might be hiding a fifth-tier corpse king. If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator were to chase after him, they might end up losing their life if they went too far.

Meanwhile, Lord Fushan pursued a low-ranking fifth-tier barbarian king alone and went far away.

His supernatural powers are most effective against the barbarians, and the fifth-rank low-grade barbarian king he has his eye on will most likely not have a good end!

"Damn human cultivator, do you really think you've got me cornered? I advise you not to be so overconfident. I simply don't want us to both be severely injured!"

In the sky, a slightly ethereal black shadow flew rapidly through the air, while a silver dragon followed closely behind, spewing out bolts of lightning from its mouth every now and then to strike the shadow.

After being chased for hundreds of miles, the powerful member of the Heavenly Soul Clan finally roared in anger, unable to bear it any longer.

But such a furious threat was no match for Zhou Chun.

He immediately sneered, "If you have any tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them. If you can harm me, then I'll consider yourself capable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a hand seal and a golden bolt of lightning flashed through the air, striking the Heavenly Soul Clan expert head-on.

But then, the powerful figure of the Heavenly Soul Clan flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped away from beneath the falling golden lightning, dodging the attack.

Then its figure appeared in another void dozens of miles away and stopped there.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also leaped off the back of the Silver Dragon Lord and summoned his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, with a flick of his sleeve.

Silver Dragon Lord was even more direct, immediately opening his mouth and spitting out a [Shattering Heavenly Lightning] that crashed down on the Heavenly Soul Clan expert.

Faced with the attack from the master and servant, the Heavenly Soul Clan expert summoned a triangular black cloth, releasing a dark black light screen to protect himself within it.

The silver lightning struck the dark light screen, causing it to surge and shrink rapidly, its size visibly reduced by nearly half.

Then, several golden sword rainbows spewed out from the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] landed on the dark black light screen, causing it to shrink in size even more, almost leaving only a thin layer attached to the triangular black cloth.

Just then, the Heavenly Soul Clan expert, who was protected by the black cloth, suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Zhou Chun.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful soul fluctuation was released from the body of that Heavenly Soul Clan expert. Zhou Chun's nascent soul seemed to sense it immediately and hurriedly made a hand seal to activate the golden lotus in his Purple Mansion to protect himself.

Zhou Chun had already mastered the secret technique "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" obtained from Qinglian Temple. The golden lotus formed by this technique within his Purple Mansion could almost be regarded as a special primordial spirit magic weapon, which was extremely effective in protecting against attacks on the soul.

The Heavenly Soul Clan specializes in cultivating the divine soul, and their divine soul attack techniques are powerful—this is common knowledge. Zhou Chun could be said to have been prepared for this long ago.

But to be honest, no cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage has any obvious weakness in dealing with soul attacks.

Not to mention that the Nascent Soul stage itself has extremely strong resistance to soul attacks, Nascent Soul stage cultivators will more or less cultivate secret techniques and divine abilities to resist soul attacks, or wear relevant protective magic treasures.

Therefore, since the start of the war, there have actually been very few human Nascent Soul stage cultivators who have been severely injured and killed by the Heavenly Soul Clan purely through soul attacks.

Even if it were true, it was because they were attacked by a powerful member of the Heavenly Soul Clan whose cultivation was far superior to their own, and all their protective measures failed to work.

Zhou Chun didn't think that a soul attack from a fifth-tier low-grade Heavenly Soul Clan member could really cause him any serious damage!

At this moment, his nascent soul was stationed in the Purple Mansion, and he was fully operating the secret technique. Although he felt that there were raging waves surging into the Purple Mansion sea of ​​consciousness, the nascent soul, which was protected by the golden lotus, remained calm and steady, like a reef in the sea, and was not shaken by it at all.

It felt like a moment had passed, yet also like centuries had gone by.

Suddenly, a rustling sound rang out in Zhou Chun's Purple Mansion sea of ​​consciousness, like the sound of ants gnawing on leaves.

His nascent soul seemed to sense something, and its gaze immediately turned to a certain place.

Suddenly, a swarm of black flying ants landed on the golden lotus that enveloped the nascent soul. The rustling sound was from them gnawing on the golden lotus.

What is this?

Zhou Chunyuan's face tightened, and he was greatly surprised.

You must know that this is his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness!

Even outsiders struggle to get their spiritual power into the Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, let alone living beings!

If a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness could be easily invaded by any living being, how could their life be guaranteed?

"No, this isn't some kind of living being; it's something created from divine soul power!"

After carefully observing the black flying ants, Zhou Chun breathed a slight sigh of relief, finally feeling much more at ease.

The things derived from the power of the soul are not beyond his comprehension.

In a sense, the golden lotus that is protecting him now is also this kind of thing.

However, the fact that the opponent's soul power could evolve into such a lifelike existence, and could invade the other's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness and continuously threaten the other's soul, was truly extraordinary. This was the first time Zhou Chun had ever heard of or encountered such a power.

However, since its essence is still derived from the power of the soul, it can be defeated and eliminated through appropriate means.

Therefore, Zhou Chun quickly activated the "God-Slaying Technique," which he hadn't used for a long time, and directly used his divine sense sword to slash at the black flying ants.

Wherever the sword light passed, the black flying ants instantly collapsed and vanished.

Just when Zhou Chun thought he could resolve the crisis, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out in his Purple Mansion sea of ​​consciousness, as more black flying ants condensed and took shape in his Purple Mansion sea of ​​consciousness.

This scene caused his nascent soul's face to change color again, and he hurriedly activated several "God-Slaying Swords" to sweep away the black flying ants.

At the same time, Zhou Chun directly gave Silver Dragon Lord the order to eliminate the true form of that Heavenly Soul Clan expert through telepathic communication.

Since the opponent is now focused on attacking him with the secret technique of attacking the soul, he will definitely not be able to deal with the Silver Dragon Lord's offensive as before.

As long as the opponent's true form can be eliminated, the crisis in his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness will naturally be resolved.

However, the powerful Heavenly Soul Clan member was also aware of his own weaknesses. While he was concentrating on using his divine soul attack technique, a fifth-tier Corpse King and more than a dozen fourth-tier Refined Corpses suddenly appeared beside him.

These reanimated corpses surrounded him, forming a corpse-fiend battle formation. The dense corpse-fiend energy formed a cloud of fiendish energy that protected him within it.

When the lightning spewed by the Silver Dragon Lord struck the evil cloud, it caused the cloud to churn violently and shrink rapidly, but it was still not enough to destroy it in one or two moves.

Upon receiving Zhou Chun's order, Silver Dragon Lord immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

He immediately let out a dragon's roar, and lightning gathered above his head. A lightning blade pierced through the air and slashed towards the evil cloud.

As expected, even the thick, malevolent clouds could not withstand the sharpness of the [Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Slash], and it was directly cleaved open with a crack that was difficult to heal.

Then a giant silver lightning sword descended from the sky into the evil clouds, moving through them like a lightning dragon, and quickly slashed down several fourth-tier refined corpses that couldn't dodge in time.

It wasn't until the fifth-tier Corpse King made its move, wielding a black battle axe shrouded in corpse energy, that the lightning greatsword was finally cleaved away from the evil clouds.

However, its actions also revealed its location.

Then a [Shattering Heavenly Lightning] fell from the sky, piercing through the evil clouds and striking its body.

That's not all. Now that the target location has been determined, the Silver Dragon Lord will certainly not hold back any more strength.

He immediately opened his mouth and spat out the [True Dragon Treasure Seal], a spiritual treasure, and directly activated the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar] divine power that came with it.

As a mighty and majestic dragon roar resounded, the powerful Heavenly Soul Clan member hidden in the evil clouds was instantly shaken to his core and suffered a tremendous shock.

The Celestial Soul Clan specializes in cultivating the divine soul, so pure divine soul attack techniques are generally ineffective against them.

However, the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar] is not a purely divine soul attack technique, and its essence is extremely high.

After being attacked, the Heavenly Soul Clan expert suffered a shock to his own soul, which not only forced him to interrupt his secret technique to attack Zhou Chun, but also caused him to suffer backlash damage. He quickly let out a scream.

After interrupting the Heavenly Soul Clan expert's divine power, the Silver Dragon Lord once again unleashed a barrage of silver lightning balls, bombarding the ominous cloud.

Rumble!

With a series of explosions, the ominous clouds in the sky shattered into pieces amidst the silvery-white lightning, quickly losing their shape.

The corpses inside were being blasted apart one after another by the heavenly lightning, except for the fifth-tier corpse king, which was still struggling desperately.

However, without the cover provided by the corpse aura of those fourth-tier refined corpses, it was only a matter of time before it was blasted to pieces.

At this moment, the Heavenly Soul Clan expert who had regained consciousness quickly realized the situation and dared not harbor any more illusions.

As soon as he had a thought, the fifth-tier corpse king opened its mouth and roared to the sky, forcefully swinging its battle axe to slash a jet-black blade of light at the Silver Dragon Lord.

He didn't even look at the result of the attack. After giving the Corpse King his last command, he quickly blurred into countless black shadows and fled in all directions.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Zhou Chun finally removed the residual divine soul power of the Heavenly Soul Clan expert from his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness. With a furious roar, he quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique," which he hadn't used in a long time. He merged with the Silver Dragon Lord and transformed into a human-faced thunder dragon.

The reason for this choice is, of course, to better pursue the target.

Because the power of the Heavenly Soul Clan's divine souls is so strong, even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to pinpoint their true forms with their divine sense when tracking them.

At this moment, the powerful member of the Heavenly Soul Clan transformed into countless illusory bodies and fled in all directions. In fact, the Silver Dragon Lord could not distinguish which one was the real body. If it were the Phoenix Lord with the [Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyes], it would be possible.

However, Zhou Chun's divine sense has always been strong. He had just had a spiritual battle with that Heavenly Soul Clan expert and was extremely sensitive to his spiritual fluctuations. It was not difficult for him to discern his true form at this moment.

After merging with the Silver Dragon Lord and transforming into a human-faced thunder dragon, he ignored the fifth-tier corpse king who was desperately trying to intercept him. He disappeared from his spot in a flash and chased after the Heavenly Soul Clan expert.

Not long after, the human-faced thunder dragon successfully caught up with the powerful Heavenly Soul Clan expert using its formidable thunder escape technique, and another great battle ensued.

However, at this point, the Heavenly Soul Clan's experts had almost exhausted all their methods and had no more powerful trump cards left.

Therefore, after a relatively minor battle, the conflict ended with this person self-destructing his soul.

It is worth mentioning that this person originally wanted to severely injure Zhou Chun by self-destructing his divine soul, but unfortunately, Zhou Chun in the form of the human-faced thunder dragon was far more agile and free than in his original form. He easily avoided the center of the explosion by using the Thunder Escape Technique and only suffered a little damage from the aftershocks of the explosion.

After confirming the fall of that powerful member of the Heavenly Soul Clan, Zhou Chun released the secret technique and returned with the Silver Dragon Lord, where they also blasted the fifth-tier Corpse King, who had lost its master and was wandering in the wilderness, to death.

At this moment, Feng Yuanjun had also broken free and caught up with Mu Sang.

Zhou Chun immediately ordered his demon kings and spirit pets to disperse and hunt down and eliminate the fleeing alien races.

After about a day, Zhou Chun and his spirit pets returned to the human camp.

At this time, most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators had returned, and many Golden Core stage cultivators had also returned. Only those Golden Core stage cultivators who had chased after the enemy for a long distance and those below the Golden Core stage were still on their way back.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly remarkable. He single-handedly slew three fifth-tier alien races and a fifth-tier corpse king. The combined achievements of us are still inferior to those of you alone!!"

Inside the council hall, after everyone reported on their pursuit, they were all shocked to learn that Zhou Chun had killed three fifth-tier alien race members who were skilled in sword-wielding cultivation.

Although some of them chased down an alien race in groups of two or three, they ultimately only killed one fifth-tier low-grade Heavenly Soul Clan member and one fifth-tier low-grade Earth Barbarian King. In addition, one Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator suffered severe damage to his soul and was estimated to be unable to fight for decades.

Even so, this achievement is still quite significant.

After all, fifth-tier beings are not easy to kill, and it is already quite remarkable that they were able to achieve such a feat.

But comparison is always the worst thing.

Compared to Zhou Chun's achievements, theirs seemed rather insignificant.

Including the fifth-tier low-grade barbarian king who was previously killed by Zhou Chun, as well as the two fifth-tier corpse kings.

Since arriving at the White Stone Plateau, Zhou Chun has single-handedly killed four fifth-tier alien races and three fifth-tier corpse kings!

Such a huge gain is difficult for even some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to match.

It's not that Zhou Chun is stronger than those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but rather that once a great cultivator makes a move, the opposing side will either send out an expert of equal level to counter him, or they will all flee with all their might, having no courage to engage in battle.

Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to take action, killing two fifth-tier alien race members in a single battle would already be a tremendous achievement.

Zhou Chun also had some expectations in his heart, wondering what kind of reward he would receive when his achievements were recognized and rewarded later.

Faced with the praise from True Immortal Xuanjian and the awe-inspiring gazes of the other Nascent Soul cultivators, he humbly replied in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you flatter me. I was merely lucky to have managed to subdue those alien races. Next time, when they are prepared, they will not be able to achieve such results again!"

His words weren't just pure modesty.

Just like the example of the Earth Spirit King, and the lives of several Barbarian Kings of the Earth Barbarian Clan, the strong of these two clans will certainly not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, after this incident, the alien races will most likely officially recognize him as a powerful cultivator at the Great Cultivator level. The next one to deal with him might be a high-grade fifth-tier alien race, or an alien race that also possesses the combat power of a Great Cultivator!

His meritorious yet humble demeanor deeply impressed Master Xuanjian, who immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhou, there's no need for modesty. Your illustrious achievements are evident to all. When I see Senior Taigeng Divine Venerable again, I will personally recount your remarkable exploits to you and request a reward on your behalf!"

After speaking, he looked at the other Nascent Soul cultivators and said, "At that time, all of you fellow Daoists will be witnesses. I hope you will all be able to testify and commend Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

"Absolutely, absolutely, I will tell you the truth about what I have seen."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Zhou's victory over the alien race is truly remarkable, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

"I, He, will also speak the truth and will certainly not let Fellow Daoist Zhou's contributions be overlooked!"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators immediately chimed in in agreement, and no one dared to contradict them or cause trouble at this time.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and said, "Then I, Zhou, would like to express my gratitude in advance to Fellow Daoist Xuanjian and all the other Daoists."

After everyone had exchanged compliments, the meeting quickly adjourned.

As for their next move, they will have to wait until they report today's results to the avatar of the God of Tai Geng before they can receive further instructions.

Before the new notice arrived, everyone was preparing to seize the time to meditate, restore their magical power, and heal their injuries.

Zhou Chun did the same.

However, before he could meditate and recover, he threw the corpse of the fifth-tier low-grade barbarian king, which was almost charred by lightning, to the three demon king spirit pets, Feng Yuanjun, Yinlongjun, and Fushanjun, to share.

The other barbarian king's corpse had already been fed to the golden-winged tiger.

The Golden-Winged Tiger is currently asleep, digesting and devouring the Barbarian King's heart. Perhaps once it awakens, it will be able to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation.
