Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Fourth-Tier Two-Headed Flood Dragon, This Yangming Realman Is Too Powerful!

“Hiss hiss hiss.”

The cultivators of Qingluan Immortal City watched the scene in shock, gasping for breath.

Where did True Lord find such a top-level cultivator to use a late Third-Tier Demon King as a mount!

In the entire Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world, having a late Third-Tier Demon King as a mount was rare. No one had ever seen such a person.

Moreover, one wore a blue-gold armor riding a blue roc, the other a golden armor riding a golden roc; it seemed strangely fitting and appropriate.

Could there be a deep relationship between them?

“Let’s go.”

Qingluan Zhenren glanced at the Golden-Winged Roc.

Although she couldn’t detect the aura of a true soul like Hong Lian,

her years of experience in Beast Taming told her that the golden roc’s bloodline was superior to her own Qingluan, definitely a top-tier Heaven-Tier bloodline!

They arrived in the area around Venomous Dragon Pool.

The people from the Four Great Immortal Sects had already gathered, waiting for Qingluan Zhenren to arrive.

By this time, numerous Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators had merged into a grand formation, forming an invisible force that covered Venomous Dragon Pool, gradually dispersing the poisonous mist in the air.

“Huh!?”

The first thing Qingluan Zhenren noticed was Lu Changsheng standing alongside Xiao Xiyue from Azure Cloud Sect, a slight surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.

What’s going on?

Yangming Zhenren is clearly beside me, so how is Changsheng Realman also here?

In public, it wasn’t suitable for her to probe further. She simply used her Nascent Soul’s divine sense for a quick glance but didn’t find anything unusual.

“What kind of technique is this? An avatar? That’s impossible. Creating an avatar requires splitting the soul, which would affect the soul’s essence and even lifespan potential.”

“Nascent Soul old monsters are weak when they seize and reincarnate, so how could they injure the soul to cultivate such a divine ability? Moreover, avatars have various limitations and are extremely difficult to cultivate. Nascent Soul cultivators can only succeed in cultivating them after nurturing a second Nascent Soul.”

Just like Lu Changsheng’s previous speculation, seeing the ‘Changsheng Realman’ made Qingluan Zhenren suspicious.

The cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects also looked toward Qingluan Zhenren, standing beside her was Yangming Zhenren in golden armor, on the Golden-Winged Roc.

Especially Chu Qingyi.

She glanced at Yangming Zhenren several times, then with an expression of surprise, looked again at Lu Changsheng, standing beside Xiao Xiyue in a blue robe, handsome in appearance. She didn’t know what was going on.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Qingluan Zhenren, both riding on armored roc birds, her heart inexplicably felt a strange sense of jealousy.

Having spent so long in Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, accompanying Junior Sister, not seeing herself was one thing, but how did she end up entangled with Qingluan Zhenren?

Even knowing she shouldn’t feel jealous, a twinge of sourness arose deep in her heart.

“It’s him!?”

In the Spirit Control Sect’s camp, a woman of exquisite beauty, fair skin, and cold eyes mixed with gentle femininity, noticed Yangming Zhenren with surprise and joy in her eyes.

Her name was Ning Xuerou, a Golden Core True Person from the White Deer Ning Family under the Spirit Co Control Sect.

Twenty years ago, when her grandmother had little time left, she asked Ning Xuerou for her opinion, and they decided to take a shot, heading to a secret realm of an ancient site mentioned in their ancestor’s records to seek a Golden Core opportunity.

However, the site was deep in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, extremely dangerous.

Deep within the mountain range, she and her grandmother were targeted and chased by a Third-Tier vicious bird.

At the critical moment, a terrifying aura enveloped from the nine heavens, scaring off the Third-Tier vicious bird.

Although many years have passed, she did not see clearly the great figure who saved her, she only saw brilliant golden light like the fierce sun.

But when she saw the Golden-Winged Roc, she instantly recognized it.

She realized that the person before her was the one who saved them back then.

“I wonder if he still remembers me.”

Looking at Yangming Zhenren, with his imposing and majestic demeanor, Ning Xuerou gently bit her red lips in anticipation.

However, Lu Changsheng did not notice her.

“This is my friend, Yangming Zhenren, an ally invited for this battle.”

At this moment, Qingluan Zhenren gave a brief introduction of Lu Changsheng’s identity.

Even though not many present knew Yangming Zhenren,

many had heard of the name ‘Yangming Zhenren.’

He once attacked the Yin Ghost Sect’s mountain gate in the Jin Kingdom’s cultivation world.

Although the Yin Ghost Sect didn’t have a Nascent Soul True Lord at the time, it was still a Nascent Soul-level force.

To provoke to the point of threatening the mountain gate and leave unscathed, his strength was undeniably proven!

The cultivators present were surprised, not expecting Qingluan Zhenren to know Yangming Zhenren and have him come to assist.

“Greetings, Yangming Zhenren!”

“Your reputation precedes you, truly meeting you exceeds the tales!”

Someone immediately greeted Lu Changsheng, clasping hands in courtesy.

True Sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect also nodded slightly.

Lu Changsheng returned the greetings but was puzzled. Why wasn’t the Jiang Kingdom’s top cultivator, True Lord Xuanjian, present for such an important battle?

By rights, True Lord Xuanjian should be the main combat force.

Without further delay, several formation masters activated the formation disc to operate the Fiery Five Elements Divine Sword Formation.

“Boom boom boom—”

Columns of light shot up from all directions around Venomous Dragon Pool, and in the central area, five dazzling divine swords hovered, emitting red, yellow, green, white, and black brilliant colors.

The five divine swords burned fiercely like flame dragons, radiating scorching heat, roaring to dispel toxic mist.

“Go!”

Led by True Sword and Qingluan Zhenren, all Golden Core cultivators in the area flew toward the central region of Venomous Dragon Pool where the Two-Headed Flood Dragon resided.

Though called ‘marsh,’ Venomous Dragon Pool resembled a bottomless abyss, shrouded in hazy poison miasma year-round.

The marsh water appeared dark moss green, like decayed stagnant water, with a sinister atmosphere, emitting a chilling aura.

Even under the coverage of the Fiery Five Elements Divine Sword Formation, everyone approaching the Two-Headed Flood Dragon’s lair felt a biting chill penetrating their flesh and power.

Outside of the War of Reclamation, where they had True Sword and Qingluan Zhenren, none of the present cultivators, including Lu Changsheng, could approach this Venomous Dragon Pool.

“Begin!”

True Sword signaled, and the Golden Core cultivators from the Four Great Immortal Sects took their positions, with Qingluan Zhenren leading the charge astride a roc toward Venomous Dragon Pool.

“Boom!”

A Nascent Soul surge eminates from Qingluan Zhenren’s tall and graceful figure, sweeping across heaven and earth, her blue-gold armor sparkling, talismans intertwining, embodying unparalleled power!

“Screech! Screech! Screech——”

A flock of roc birds flew from Qingluan Zhenren’s Spirit Pet Bag, commanded by the Dao Soldiers Command.

These were the Qingluan Dao Soldiers that made her famous as the top rogue cultivator in Jiang Kingdom!

A sea of blue rocs filled the skies, stirring tempestuous winds, reflecting Qingluan Zhenren like a deity.

Even Lu Changsheng was surprised by so many Second-Tier Qingluan.

Having raised Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers, he understood how difficult and resource-consuming cultivating Dao Soldiers was.

But Qingluan Zhenren, as a rogue cultivator, raised so many Second-Tier Dao Soldiers!

“Clatter, clatter——”

Meanwhile, the depths of Venomous Dragon Pool surged and boiled, emanating a terrifying aura, with rolling toxic mist spreading like dark clouds.

Then a full-bodied double-headed flood dragon covered in dark black scales emerged, its cold, fierce green pupils glaring at Qingluan Zhenren.

“Humans, do you truly wish to fight this king to the death!?”

The Two-Headed Flood Dragon’s voice boomed like clashing metal and roaring thunder, stirring fearsome power.

The Golden Core cultivators present, including False Core cultivators, felt their vitality and power roiling from the overwhelming force.

A few False Core cultivators even staggered under this onslaught.

“Is this the Fourth-Tier Demon King!?”

“Terrifying!”

Besides Lu Changsheng, only a handful of Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators had seen such power from a Fourth-Tier Demon King.

Most had never encountered a Fourth-Tier demon king before.

“This Two-Headed Flood Dragon is stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.”

With a glance, Lu Changsheng discerned that the Two-Headed Flood Dragon had advanced to the Fourth-Tier long ago.

Even if it hadn’t broken through to the mid-Fourth Tier, it was not like the recently advanced Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

“Attack!”

Without a word, Qingluan Zhenren charged at the Two-Headed Flood Dragon with her azure halberd.

This battle had her as the main force, with True Sword and the Four Great Immortal Sects as support!

“Boom!”

Qingluan Zhenren, having perfected Dual Cultivation of the Flesh and Spirit, wielded immense blood energy, nearly tearing the sky with her formidable strike.

Beside her, True Sword manifested a killer aura-infused black Magical Sword to support her, cutting toward the Two-Headed Flood Dragon.

“Since you insist on destroying me, we’ll fight to the death! Roar!!!”

The Two-Headed Flood Dragon roared fiercely, flooding with lethal energy as its eyes flashed with sinister light.

“Clatter, clatter——”

Simultaneously, more demon kings emerged from Venomous Dragon Pool.

Two dragons resembling the Two-Headed Flood Dragon;

A blood-hued giant python with black scales and horns on its head;

And a fearsome black-scaled crocodile as massive as a battleship.

The four demon kings, except the blood python at mid-Third Tier, were all late Third-Tier Demon Kings. Their presence was imposing!

“Roar, roar, roar——”

Not just at Venomous Dragon Pool, demon king auras erupted from other areas, fierce and violent.

“No wonder so much force was gathered for the War of Reclamation. Without Qingluan Zhenren, even the Heavenly Sword Sect would pay a heavy price to defeat the Two-Headed Flood Dragon!”

Lu Changsheng inspected the demon kings with his Taiyi Soul and counted five mid-Third Tier demon kings.

In total, nine Third-Tier Demon Kings!

Two more than the Heavenly Sword Sect’s calculations.

But this was normal.

Given time to grow, Fourth-Tier Demon Kings have human-level intelligence and know strategies to hide their strength!

Wasting no time, Lu Changsheng coldly tapped his foot, unleashing his Nine Treasures Dao Bone in the Second Dantian, talismans winding around him.

Golden Core Seventh Layer!

Golden Core Eighth Layer!

Golden Core Ninth Layer!

Thanks to his powerful physique and Kidney Storage’s awakening, he could endure such an increase without side effects; at worst, he’d need some rest later.

“Boom boom boom——”

His pinnacle Golden Core cultivation and Third-Tier pinnacle vitality soared skyward, like titanic waves crashing against the heavens, daunting the four demon kings from Venomous Dragon Pool, his presence domineering!

In his Qi Sea Dantian, the Yin-Yang Dao Golden Core pulsed, emitting colorful rays.

“Boom!”

The next moment, everyone saw a somber yin-yang-patterned hand coalesce over Lu Changsheng.

“Screech!”

The Golden-Winged Roc screeched, brilliant like a golden sun, with a true dragon illusion hovering over Yangming Zhenren, charging toward a Third-Tier flood dragon.

“Buzz buzz buzz——”

Ripples spread through the void as the Late-Stage Third-Tier Two-Headed Flood Dragon tried to act but was shackled by the heavy Yin-Yang Grand Capture.

With a ‘bang,’ it was knocked aside by the Golden-Winged Roc’s charge, screaming in pain.

The giant yin-yang hand gripped tightly, its five fingers clasped around the ten-zhang long Two-Headed Flood Dragon, which struggled vainly to escape.

“Roar, roar, roar——”

The Two-Headed Flood Dragon howled, pleading for help, but the grip tightened, its cries growing hoarse.

“This… such a divine ability!”

“Is he truly just a Golden Core cultivator!?”

The Golden Core cultivators stood dumbfounded, astonished by the power displayed.

Even knowing Yangming Zhenren was formidable, they hadn’t expected this level of might!

This Two-Headed Flood Dragon, although its bloodline was inferior to its father’s, was a late Third-Tier demon king!

No Golden Core Late-Stage cultivator here could confidently defeat it.

Even with a late Third-Tier spirit pet, it would be a hard-fought battle, with significant costs.

Yet Yangming Zhenren subdued it in just one move.

Not only they but even True Sword and Qingluan Zhenren, battling the Fourth-Tier Two-Headed Flood Dragon, were amazed at the scene.

Even at their Golden Core peak, their combat strength never matched that of Yangming Zhenren!

“The Primordial Yellow Essence truly deserves its reputation as a Fifth-Tier rare treasure! My Yin-Yang Grand Capture improved immensely with just one strand, allowing such a dramatic boost. I’m currently able to endure the refinement of three strands. Once fully refined, this divine ability will ascend another level!”

Lu Changsheng had not been idle on the front lines over the past six months.

Unable to cultivate freely, he had refined the Yin-Yang Grand Capture using Primordial Yellow Essence.

Time was limited, so he only managed to refine one strand.

These days, he hadn’t encountered any demon kings to test his ability’s power, so he wasn’t sure how much it had improved.

Only now did he realize that the Primordial Yellow Essence enhanced the power by at least thirty percent. With one hand, he could shatter endless mountains and rivers.

Especially the capture and suppression effects, which saw significant improvements.

Moreover, he utilized the newly comprehended void force, further boosting the binding effects.

“Roar, roar, roar——”

The other Two-Headed Flood Dragon roared at Lu Changsheng, launching terrifying sound waves and black poison water from one head, while the other spewed a rolling mist.

“Careful, Realman!”

Someone immediately warned him, rushing to aid, forming a formation to assist Lu Changsheng against the blood python and black crocodile, while preventing the other five Third-Tier demon kings from moving.

“This poison mist cannot harm me!”

Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body, merged with Calamity Poison Body and Kunpeng Demonic Body, allowed him to bathe in such poison without harm.

His Qi Sea Dantian even contained a dose of superior Third-Tier poison!

In battling certain cultivators or demon kings, he could incorporate the poison into his divine abilities!

“Great Five Elements Divine Fist!”

Fully revived, Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body merged with his Dragon Chant Physique and Five Elements Body, transforming his Third-Tier physique into a divine force, charging the flood dragon while ignoring the poisonous water.

The Golden-Winged Roc screeched, executing Tianpeng Dragon-Snatching Glyph Array, attacking the flood dragon.

Having promised to let it share a flood dragon later, it couldn’t let anyone steal it!

“Roar——”

The Third-Tier flood dragon, sensing danger, retreated, cloaked in poison.

Simultaneously, a black-and-white yin-yang diagram unfurled over Lu Changsheng, weaving shadows of life, hindering the flood dragon’s movements.

“Boom boom boom——”

Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc closed in on the flood dragon, unleashing dazzling divine abilities that smelted their surroundings.

“Roar roar roar——”

The Third-Tier flood dragon roared in response, its huge body gleaming with toxic green light, counterattacking with a tumult of whirlpools.

But both divine figures, unfazed by its assault, flanked it, breaking through its scales, blood spraying as it cried for aid.

Yet the Fourth-Tier Two-Headed Flood Dragon was entangled with Qingluan Zhenren and True Sword, unable to help, sending toxin miasma Lu Changsheng’s way.

“Still daring to get distracted!”

Seeing Lu Changsheng fighting fiercely, Qingluan Zhenren aided him, ensuring he wasn’t harmed. She wielded her azure halberd like a divine phoenix, scorching the land and sea.

Her mount, the Qingluan, screeched, whipping up boundless winds and sapphire flames, burning away toxic mist.

This Qingluan, enhanced by the Dao Soldiers, was nearly at Fourth-Tier strength, ferocious beyond compare!

“Boom boom boom——”

Under Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc’s onslaught, the Third-Tier flood dragon was swiftly torn apart by the roc’s talons, its abdomen spilling blood.

Lu Changsheng’s vitality roared, him as a god or devil, fists emitting infinite obliterating light, shaking the heavens.

“Screech!”

After a few rounds, the Golden-Winged Roc’s razor-sharp talons, seeming forged from gold, pierced the flood dragon’s back, its blood splattering as it pecked at the dragon’s eye, swallowing it whole.

Not only did the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale enjoy dragon breeds,

but the ancestors of the Roc family, the Golden Roc, were known to feast on dragons; therefore, the Golden-Winged Roc adored flood dragons as well!

“The battle’s not over yet!”

Lu Changsheng watched the Golden-Winged Roc devour the flood dragon, he said in disappointment.

With more demon kings to slay, every kill was a gain, but here it was starting a feast!

Haven’t you ever eaten well?

Gazing at the captured Third-Tier flood dragon, Lu Changsheng poured his Spiritual Energy from the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus in his second dantian, crushing it instantly.

The battle would last a while, so he opted to kill the dragon rather than keep it caged, as sustaining it was draining.

“Boom!!!”

The Yin-Yang Diagram burst into a world-shaking display, merging with the Yin-Yang Grand Capture, extinguishing everything in its path.

“Crack, crack, crack——”

The struggling Third-Tier flood dragon screeched, its bones shattering, blood flowing from its orifices.

After several breaths, the space trembled, forming ripples. Under the double suppression of the Yin-Yang Grand Capture and the Yin-Yang Diagram, life was obliterated!
