Chapter 355: Chapter 289: Slaying the Flood Dragon (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Within the Cave Mansion.

The sounds of the ancient and awkward spells rose one after another.

The chilly winds gusted, as if the whispers of evil spirits...

Two grey lights flickered in Fang Xing’s eyes, swelling slightly, piercing into the Nascent Soul of the old Wanxiang demon.

And then...

His Divine Sense split into thousands, like tiny threads and needles, penetrating the seven orifices of the old Wanxiang demon.

Scattered fragments of memories slowly emerged before his eyes.

"No good!"

An hour later, Fang Xing opened his eyes. The Sword Infant inside his body yawned, showing a trend of listlessness.

It had proven that Nascent Soul Spirit Bodies were extremely difficult to Soul Search.

Even if one could Soul Search, the information obtained was fragmented and insignificant.

"It seems that I have to take action myself after all."

Fang Xing sighed, grasped the Nascent Soul of the old Wanxiang demon, and the Great Sun Radiance flickered between his brows.

A ray of Great Sun Radiance appeared, and the Nascent Soul of the old Wanxiang demon vanished instantly.

When it reappeared, it was already within Fang Xing’s Sea of Consciousness.

"In the past, it was always cultivators intentionally possessing me; today, it seems, I’ve passively invited you to possess..."

Fang Xing murmured, and the Great Sun Furnace emerged in an instant.

Strands of Great Sun True Fire fell upon the pitch-black Nascent Soul, completely igniting it.

The old Wanxiang demon immediately let out a wail unlike that of any human.

Fang Xing felt that the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" had improved and glanced at his attribute panel:

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 270/400 (Master)]

...

"Oh? It seems that the Nascent Souls of Nascent Soul Cultivators are indeed of some use... If ten or eight more came my way, my Great Sun Tathagata Mantra would be close to reaching the Grandmaster rank."

He closed his eyes slightly and began recalling useful fragments from the ’old Wanxiang demon’s’ memory.

Such as the array diagrams and critical Array Eyes of the Mountain Protection Array ’Wanxiang Unpredictability Array,’ and its flaws...

And the locations of some of the Sect’s Secret Treasures and secret storehouses...

"Hmm... with a Fake Infant and a Nascent Soul Seed dead, the Wanxiang Sect is truly in dire straits... Nowadays, Jiedan Cultivators have little hope of forming a Nascent Soul..."

To Fang Xing, chasing down these Jiedan Cultivators one by one seemed too tedious.

If he happened to encounter them, he would kill them conveniently; if not, then it was their luck.

Even if some cultivation genius existed, could their cultivation speed exceed his own? If they sought revenge, they would likely end up in despair!

"And there are some Strange Skills and secret techniques... This old Wanxiang demon was cunning indeed. Most of the Jade Scrolls in his storage bag were fake, lacking the most crucial steps. Once one falls into this trap, even if they cultivate powerful Spells or Corpse Refining... like the Overturning Golden Corpse, the true owner could easily take control with just one Mnemonic..."

"As for the core Demon Path Cultivation Technique, it is also missing a few crucial phrases, making it easy to lose control and succumb to madness..."

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing was casually browsing the old Wanxiang demon’s secret techniques when his face showed a hint of interest.

"The method to refine a False Infant?"

He pondered in silence and discovered that there was a mnemonic following the refining method, which detailed how to enhance a False Infant into a cultivator’s Second Nascent Soul!

"Not bad..."

However, after finishing, Fang Xing knew why this technique of the Second Nascent Soul had not blossomed into brilliance within the Wanxiang Sect.

"False Infants are equivalent to Fake Cores, and raising them is extremely difficult..."

"For a Fake Core to transform into a True Core, it must first dispel the Fake Core..."

"But with False Infants, it’s different. One needs the ’Devouring Infant Secret Technique’ to devour the essence of another Nascent Soul, in order to regain a bit of vitality... Even one Nascent Soul might not be enough; at least two are needed to promote to an early stage Second Nascent Soul..."

"Such a cultivated Second Nascent Soul resembles evil demons, capable of devouring other Nascent Souls for rapid Mana progress... easily advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, or even Nascent Soul Late Stage Realm!"

"However, Nascent Soul Late Stage is the limit; such demonic beings cultivated through crooked paths have no chance of breaking through to Divinity Transformation."

"Moreover, the more they devour, the more vicious their nature becomes, and the easier they are to turn on their master!"

"It’s a shame about the old Wanxiang demon’s Nascent Soul..."

Fang Xing felt regrettable: "Otherwise, if I could devour just one more, couldn’t I advance to a true Second Nascent Soul? Then my Mana and Divine Skills would be no less than those of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator."

"However, according to the description of this secret technique, in addition to the Nascent Soul of a cultivator, the Essence Soul Pill of a Fourth Rank transformative Great Demon should also be able to replace the effect of a Nascent Soul..."

"By that rationale, I certainly can’t let that Green Water Cold Flood Dragon slip away..."

A contemplative expression appeared on Fang Xing’s face.

...

Several days later.

News spread like thunder across the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World.

One of the five great factions of the Demon Path, the Wanxiang Sect—destroyed!

Not only was the Supreme Elder, the old Wanxiang demon, dead and his soul annihilated, but the Sect’s Mountain Gate was also broken by an unknown Nascent Soul True Monarch, and all sorts of Treasures were looted, with Jiedan Cultivators suffering heavy casualties and deaths.

The Heavenly Sword Sect even took the opportunity to send a large number of affiliated forces into the territories of the Five Sects Ten Countries, as well as further south into the Demon Domain. To the discerning eye, this was a move to utterly eradicate their roots.

The Loose Cultivators of Zheng Country and Qi Country, as well as the small and medium Cultivation forces, immediately fell into a frenzy.

Even though most of their gains had to be turned over to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the High Rank Spirit Veins and Spiritual Medicine Gardens even more so, what they obtained was enough to make a Cultivator overnight rich!

Just as the attention of the entire Cultivation World was focused on Wanxiang Sect, Fang Xing had already arrived at Bibo Cave region with Chu Kuangtu.

Bibo Cave was called a cave, but in fact, it was a vast inland lake with green waters that carried a cold, forest-like chill.

Legend has it that in earlier times, although there was a lake here, the water was clear and bottom-visible, without any chill.

In the middle of the vast green lake, there was an ancient cultivator’s Cave Mansion named ’Bibo Cave’.

After the Cave Mansion was opened and underwent a great battle, ’Bibo Cave’ collapsed. The eighteen ’Ancient Cosmos Cold Pearls’ that were stored within shattered and merged with the lake, creating this tens of thousands of miles of cold lake.

Years that no one knew how many had passed, and a Third Rank snake python cultivated in secret in this place, undergoing the Transformation Tribulation to become a Green Water Cold Flood Dragon, gathering a large number of Demon Beasts to become a formidable Demon King.

During previous attempts to reclaim the land, the forces of the Righteous Path were blocked in front of Bibo Cave, unable to advance an inch.

On this day.

The cold air over the vast Bibo Lake was chilling, and above it a Qiankun Ring emanated a layer of blue-red light that enveloped the surrounding lake.

The lake, which was about to stir up terrifying waves, suddenly became calm, without a ripple.

High in the sky, stars twinkled brightly, with a purple star shining especially bright.

Chu Kuangtu was like an emperor among men, wielding a Flying Sword in his hand that possessed the imperial dominance fitting of an emperor’s sword, forcing a several dozen zhang long Green Flood Dragon into a desperate situation with no way to ascend to the heavens or enter the earth.

This Flood Dragon was covered in scales like those of a fish. In the face of the sword light, it radiated a piercing cold light, and even when clashing with Chu Kuangtu’s Lifebound Flying Sword, it only suffered the loss of a few scales, demonstrating an astonishing defense.

Atop its head were two small horns without bifurcation, two clawed limbs grew on its belly, each with three toes, and there were no reverse scales under its neck.

Clearly, this was not a true dragon, but a Flood Dragon!

"Damn Human Clan!"

At this moment, the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon suddenly uttered human speech, issuing a resonant dragon’s chant.

Endless water flow materialized out of thin air, forming a massive vortex that aimed to engulf all the sword lights in the sky.

Swoosh!

At the crucial moment, Fang Xing joined the battle with his sword.

He merged with his sword, the speed of its light incredibly fast and seeming like a chilling Sword Prison as it enveloped the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon.

Countless white-gold sword lights erupted, with specks of blood-stained dragon scales falling from the sky.

One could imagine that in the coming year, various Dragon Blood Demon Beasts would inevitably grow strong and proliferate wildly in Bibo Cave...

"Roar Roar!"

The Green Water Cold Flood Dragon cried out in pain, its heart growing even more frantic.

Until now, it had merely relied on its formidable demon body and the disunity of the Nascent Soul members of the Righteous Path to barely entangle them.

But now, two Nascent Soul Sword Lords with astonishing lethality had arrived!

And they possessed Strange Treasures that restrained its Water Escape!

This even made it sense a whiff of the aura of death.

The closer it faced death, the more insane the transformed Great Demon became.

Roar Roar!

In the midst of its dragon’s chant, the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon spat out a streak of greenish flame.

This flame was definitely of the Fourth Rank, its color greenish, and its core looked like flowing liquid.

The moment it appeared, the entire world seemed to abruptly enter a freezing winter where water turns to ice, with the entire lake starting to freeze.

The countless sword lights in the sky seemed to be dyed by the chill, slowing down until they froze.

"Fourth Rank cold flame? Indeed, a formidable creature!"

Fang Xing cursed, and with a flash of light above his head, the All Techniques Infant directly emerged.

This scene caused Chu Kuangtu’s eyes to twitch slightly.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body was the foundation of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and only in the most dire situations would one allow their Nascent Soul to emerge, fearing all kinds of damage.

Although using the Nascent Soul in battle brought the advantage of surprise, True Monarchs of Nascent Soul would almost never do this.

But Fang Xing was different!

With the All Techniques Infant, he directly used False Infant emergence as a regular tactic.

At this moment, the All Techniques Nascent Soul stood atop his head, holding the ’Green Sun Demon Lamp’ in hand.

His body formed a Mnemonic with both hands, and the Green Ghost Staff followed, emitting a series of ghostly wails and howls.

The movements of the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon stuttered, as the Divine Soul of a Demon Beast was inherently weaker than that of a Cultivator, which was a strike to its vital point.

At the same time, the All Techniques Infant above Fang Xing’s head flicked his finger amusedly, sending forth a pea-sized drop of dark green light, which was the Soul-devouring Demon Fire!

Blaze!

The Soul-devouring Demon Fire met with the Fourth Rank cold flame, the extremely hot and extremely cold flames collided, instantly kicking up a cloud of fire about an acre in size, spreading crazily in all directions!

"Slas.h/!"

Seizing this heaven-sent opportunity, Chu Kuangtu merged with his sword, transforming into a giant purple sword light that slashed through the Green Water Flood Dragon!

Splash!

Two halves of dragon corpse fell from the sky, trailing blood across the heavens!

From within the belly of the dragon corpse, a fist-sized pale cyan Demon Core emerged. A miniature greenish Flood Dragon let out a dragon’s chant and sprang out from the Demon Pearl, its mouth clutching the pearl as it fled frantically toward the periphery!

Boom!

Black, white, red, yellow, and green surged to the sky, turning into a cloud of demons several acres in size, trapping the spirit of the Flood Dragon within it.

"A Fourth Rank transformed Great Demon has an incredibly strong physique, but its Essence Soul Pill is not as naturally close to the Void as the Nascent Soul Spirit Body of Cultivators, capable of Instant Teleportation to escape death..."

As Fang Xing watched this scene, he couldn’t help but ponder thoughtfully.
