Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 928 - 444: The End [Subscription Request]_2

"The cultivators of the 'Seven Demon Fiends' level," Zhou Chun mused, "each possess combat prowess that are at a uniquely high standard among those in the late stage of the Purple Mansion. Even stronger than Murong Luo, whom I originally vanquished."

"At the very least, even if Murong Luo had successfully cultivated the 'Slaying God Technique,' he would have struggled to kill these true disciples coming from the top clans of the Demon Path."

"If it wasn't for having the Third-Order Thunder Jiao that counters the Demon Path cultivators, and the Thunder Jiao, Baibai, mastering the 'Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder' Divine Skills, he too would have struggled to defeat these individuals."

"And although he could kill the 'Seven Demon Fiends', that did not necessarily mean he could defeat the 'Seven Stars of the Heavenly Spirit'."

Considering this, Zhou Chun's current strength should be roughly on par with the first few individuals among the 'Seven Stars of the Heavenly Spirit'.

However, he is currently only at the middle stage of the Purple Mansion and still hadn't mastered the 'Slaying God Technique' among the Secret Techniques.

Once he breaks through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion and masters 'Slaying God Technique,' he should truly possess the power to crush these geniuses!

Boom!

Who knew how much time had passed when another explosive thunderous roar reverberated through the heavens and earth, with silver lightning flashing once more.

It turned out that the Thunder Jiao, Baibai, acting on Zhou Chun's orders, had seized the opportunity after a long battle between the Fourth-Order Zombie and Lin Hongyu, and finally unleashed its last 'Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder'.

By this time, much of the Corpse Fiend Qi within the Fourth-Order Zombie had been refined and worn down by Lin Hongyu, even the power of the Corpse Pearl had been significantly depleted, and its strength was not as formidable as when it first appeared.

After being hit solidly by the 'Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder', formed by the pure power of Heavenly Thunder, even its body, as tough as a Dharma Treasure, couldn't help but splinter with crack after crack appearing. The wound on its chest, inflicted by Lin Hongyu, was now filled with the force of thunder and lightning!

This strike caused it even more severe damage than Lin Hongyu's previous attack.

And Lin Hongyu would not miss this excellent opportunity to kick an enemy when it's down.

Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of her essence blood which fell on her somewhat dim 'Flame Dragon Ring' Dharma Treasure.

Instantly, this Dharma Treasure, bolstered by the strength of its master's essence blood, burst forth with a brilliant blaze of fire, and directly flew towards the Fourth-Order Zombie, restraining it once again.

Lin Hongyu then continuously formed hand seals, urging the Dharma Treasure to release a fierce flame that began to refine the Fourth-Order Zombie.

Seeing this, the Thunder Jiao, Baibai in the sky, also kept invoking the silver lightning to bombard the Fourth-Order Zombie nonstop, wearing down the Corpse Fiend Qi within its body.

The power of Heavenly Thunder and fierce fire were inherently effective against zombies. Now with both Heavenly Thunder and fierce fire refining it together, the already heavily injured Fourth-Order Zombie was incapable of breaking free from the 'Flame Dragon Ring's imprisonment and soon its Dharma Treasure-tough zombie body began to crack and melt.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of continuous refining, the body of the Fourth-Order Zombie was finally refined into ashes, leaving only a black round pearl like ink jade on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Lin Hongyu immediately waved her hand, urging the 'Flame Dragon Ring' to bring the black round pearl in front of her.

After a few glances and tests to confirm it posed no threat, she then took it into her hands for a closer look.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhou Chun also flew to her side.

"This object must be the Corpse Pearl transformed from that Fourth-Order Zombie. However, it's puzzling why the Corpse Pearl, instead of being damaged under the intense flames and Heavenly Thunder, seemed to have been tempered into such an indestructible object. Perhaps those Refinement Masters will know how to use it!"

After examining the pigeon-egg-sized black round pearl in her hands, Lin Hongyu made her judgment.

Then suddenly, she raised her hand and tossed the object to Zhou Chun.

"Auntie, what does this mean?"

Zhou Chun caught the black round pearl and looked at Lin Hongyu, puzzled.

Although he didn't know the use of this object, being the only treasure left by a Fourth-Order Zombie, its value mustn't be inferior to normal Dharma Treasures or Spirit Materials. Even as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Lin Hongyu shouldn't disregard this object.

"I now have the 'Flame Dragon Ring' as my Lifebound Dharma Treasure, which is sufficient for my needs. Besides, you, Zhengchun, are currently shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Zhou Family and cannot be without a protective treasure."

"And even though this object may be valuable, it's unlikely to be refined into a Dharma Treasure; to me, it's essentially useless."

Lin Hongyu explained in a calm tone, then looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Given the commotion from my fight with the Fourth-Order Zombie just now, it seems impossible to keep this hidden any longer. Have you thought about how to explain this to the Green Lotus Temple and other sects?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun dropped the topic of the black orb and nodded solemnly in response, "I have indeed thought it through, Great-Grandmother. I cannot guarantee there will be absolutely no problems, but I am eighty percent confident."

As he spoke, he first let Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai transform back into a Thunder Python through the "Hundred Illusions Bead" and stored it away.

Moments later, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Stone, emerged from underground, carrying on its back sixteen earth-yellow crystal pillars, each engraved with profound formation talismans.

These were devices for setting up formations, originally placed around the battlefield by Jiang Zhong, intended to restrict the Earth Escape Technique of the Golden Armor Burden Turtle, Stone.

However, he had no idea that such formations were completely ineffective against Stone.

In the underground environment, there are very few formations that can restrict a Golden Armor Burden Turtle that can directly connect to the earth vein's spiritual energy.

Now, Stone had dismantled these and brought them back as Zhou Chun's spoils of war.

Then, taking the opportunity, Zhou Chun stored away these items and Stone. He also asked Lin Hongyu to eliminate the residual energy of the "Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder," to behead Jiang Zhong, refine his body, and collected the remains and possessions of the man in the blood robe, the old man in grey, and the giant in crimson robes.

Thus, even if a Golden Core Stage Cultivator came here to investigate, they wouldn't be able to detect the existence of the "Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder."

As for the earlier sighting of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, the Zhou Family's "Ancestral Resurrection" secret technique could easily account for it.

Not much later, Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu returned to Jiufeng Ridge.

At that time, the Wood Charm, which had not shown itself throughout, also returned.

It had been sent by Zhou Chun to deal with the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators hidden outside Jiufeng Ridge after he observed that victory was certain.

Now, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators had been killed by it, eliminating the last of the hidden threats.

Then, while Zhou Chun was tallying the gains from the battle, he sent someone with a handwritten letter to the mountain gate of Green Lotus Temple to report.

The battle actually had not been small in terms of losses for Zhou Chun himself.

Not only was the "Blackwater Profound Tortoise Shield," which had earned him many battle merits, completely shattered, but the "Golden Light Bowl," a Talisman Treasure, had also exhausted its potency and dissipated.

This left him with only the "Xuangang Bead" as a presentable defense artifact.

However, compared to his losses, the gains were obviously much greater.

Firstly, having Jiang Zhong, the "Corpse Fiend General's," head in hand meant that a Nascent Soul Spirit Material was definitely secured.

Secondly, the possessions of Jiang Zhong and four other Purple Mansion Stage Demon Cultivators had also brought him significant wealth.

For instance, the "Profound Yin Corpse Gourd" still contained over a hundred Iron-Clad Demon Corpses and several dozen bodies of Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators.

This item, highly valuable for members of the Corpse Demon Sect and exceedingly attractive to other Demon Cultivators, was more valuable to them than a Dharma Treasure because the Corpse Refinement Technique was not exclusive to the Corpse Demon Sect.

And the Dharma artifacts used by the three individuals in blood robes during their lives were all high-quality items among Demon Path artifacts, which could be sold to Demon Cultivators in exchange for many Spirit Coins.

However, for Zhou Chun, the real value from these Demon Cultivators lay in their heads and the contents of their Storage Pouches.

Their heads represented battle merits and rewards, while their Storage Pouches contained many spoils they had collected from annihilating families and sects.

Like Jiang Zhong, who had previously managed to produce over three hundred thousand Spirit Coins for Zhou Chun.

Although the other three Demon Cultivators weren't as generous as he was, the contents of their Storage Pouches together amounted to no less than his.
