Chapter 386: 295 Fourth-order Flood Dragon_1

Yuan Rui looked towards where Qin Wang had been, just in time to see him transform into a gust of sinister wind and vanish.

"Junior Brother Shen, be careful."

Yuan Rui warned.

Shen Long had already released the Gold-Winged Windroc, merging with it as one. A chilling wind brushed past his back, and Qin Wang appeared out of nowhere.

Qin Wang opened his mouth and sprayed out a black sonic wave, heading straight for Shen Long.

The golden wings on Shen Long’s back fluttered slightly, and he vanished from the spot, evading the black sonic wave’s attack.

Qin Wang’s forehead furrowed as he lightly fanned the black bat wings on his back, turning into a gust of sinister wind and disappearing again.

Yuan Rui sensed something was amiss and was about to display other divine skills when a piercingly shrill ghostly wail sounded. Upon hearing this, his head suddenly felt heavy, and he could barely stand.

Two thick yellow chains burst from the ground, wrapping around Yuan Rui’s feet.

At the same time, a massive seal, swirling with black light, descended from the sky, hurtling towards Yuan Rui.

The Black Giant Ape, holding a black longstick, smashed it towards Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui swung his golden staff, clashing with the black longstick, and a muffled clang of metal striking metal resounded.

A dazzling array of golden light shone from his body as the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle separated from him, its wings fluttering lightly before vanishing on the spot.

Yuan Rui’s body swelled in size, transforming into a massive Golden Giant Ape, baring his teeth and snarling.

The Golden Giant Ape’s left palm transformed into a fist, rushing towards the massive black seal.

The black seal was held up by the Golden Giant Ape, its body rapidly plummeting towards the ground and sinking into the earth.

A gust of sinister wind blew past, and Qin Wang reappeared, his right hand holding a sphere that emitted a ceaseless black glow.

The Soul Extinguishing Bead, a one-time use treasure, specialized in damaging the divine soul.

No matter how strong Yuan Rui’s physical body was, if his divine soul was hurt, his strength would greatly diminish.

A violent wind swept by, and Shen Long appeared next to Qin Wang without any warning.

Qin Wang reacted swiftly, his body radiating a burst of black light as a thick black protective light screen emerged, encasing his entire body. He opened his mouth and expelled five bone blades enveloped in black mist which merged mid-flight into a single gigantic white blade, charging straight for Shen Long.

A bright red light blazed on Shen Long’s body, with copious amounts of Red Dragon Scales growing out. The white massive blade struck the Red Dragon Scales, and the sound of metal striking metal echoed loudly.

Shen Long let out a deafening dragon’s roar, spitting out a red sonic wave that swiftly passed over the black light screen, dimming its brilliance. A red stick adorned with flashing light descended from the sky, smashing onto the black light screen, which broke instantly as if it was made of paper.

The red stick hit Qin Wang’s head, and his head exploded in an instant.

In the presence of a Spiritual Treasure, Qin Wang’s defenses couldn’t withstand a thing.

An entity resembling Qin Wang’s Nascent Soul flew out of his body, only to be seized by Shen Long, who affixed a silver light-flashing Talisman onto it and stored it inside a jade box.

From the moment Shen Long took action to his slaying of Qin Wang, it took less than three breaths.

"Spiritual Treasure!"

The Black Giant Ape exclaimed in shock, with fear filling his eyes, as he transformed into a black Escape Light, breaking through the sky.

"Stay where you are."

The Golden Giant Ape bellowed, stomping fiercely on the ground. The ground shook slightly, and a powerful gravity surged, pulling the Black Giant Ape towards the earth against its will.

As soon as it hit the ground, a thick golden lightning pillar descended from above, striking the Black Giant Ape precisely.

A thunderous boom resonated; the Black Giant Ape was engulfed by the golden lightning.

A red colossal stick fell from the sky, plunging into the midst of the golden lightning, causing the earth to shake violently, and a colossal crack appeared in the ground.

A black Escape Light shot out from the lightning, heading rapidly towards the distant horizon.

The ground shook intensely, akin to an earthquake, with numerous cracks appearing, which continued to widen.

The black Escape Light stopped, revealing the figure of Su Liang, looking panicked. His Ghost Creature had been killed.

He had never expected that Shen Long possessed a Spiritual Treasure and that his Life-Bound Spirit Bird was of the fourth tier. Had he known this before, they would never have made a move.

It wasn’t Su Liang’s fault; he had cultivated his Nascent Soul for more than a hundred years and had yet to nurture a Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Creature. Yet Shen Long hadn’t been at the Nascent Soul Stage for long, and his Life-Bound Spirit Bird had astonishingly reached the fourth tier, which was truly beyond comprehension.

A sonic boom rang out as a golden colossal fist flashed, arriving in front of Su Liang instantaneously.

Before Su Liang could dodge, the golden fist struck his Protective Spirit Light, causing it to cave inward and flicker uncertainly.

A thick golden lightning pillar descended from above, slamming into Su Liang’s Protective Spirit Light, enveloping his figure in golden lightning.

A golden longstick fell from the sky, penetrating the golden lightning. Su Liang’s corpse dropped rapidly from within the lightning, and an entity resembling Su Liang’s Nascent Soul flew out from the body.

The Nascent Soul, revealing a ferocious look, charged straight at the Golden Giant Ape.

The Golden Giant Ape snorted coldly, exhaling a golden sonic wave to meet it head-on.

The wings of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle fluttered slightly, and dozens of golden lightning orbs shot out, bombarding the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul’s body rapidly swelled before bursting instantly, engulfing a hundred li in smoke and dust.

After a short while, the smoke cleared, the area within a hundred li was leveled to the ground, and a Golden Giant Ape stood there, with a shield flickering with yellow light before it.

With a flash of golden light, the Golden Giant Ape transformed back into Yuan Rui’s appearance.

A gust of wind blew, and Shen Long appeared, his back adorned with a pair of golden wings flashing with light.

Su Liang’s Nascent Soul self-destructed, and Shen Long used a self-explosion defense treasure to protect Yuan Rui while avoiding the blast with the Wind Escape Technique.

Spiritual Light flashed, and the Gold-Winged Windroc separated from Shen Long.

Shen Long stored the Gold-Winged Windroc in his Spirit Beast Bag and looked towards Yuan Rui, saying, "Senior Brother Yuan, are you alright?"

With a pinch of his spell, the yellow shield transformed into a large swath of yellow light flickering like gravel, flying back into his sleeve.

"I’m fine, Junior Brother Shen. Has your life-bound spirit bird advanced to the fourth rank?"

Yuan Rui asked in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, it hadn’t been a hundred years since Shen Long formed his Nascent Soul, and his life-bound spirit bird had already advanced to the fourth rank. This indicated that the purity of bloodline of Shen Long’s life-bound spirit bird was also quite high; those with a low bloodline purity would not advance so easily to the fourth rank.

"The monster beast resources at the Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea are abundant. It has devoured quite a few demon cores of fourth-rank Spirit Birds, otherwise, it wouldn’t have grown so quickly."

Shen Long explained truthfully.

What he said was the truth. If the Gold-Winged Windroc hadn’t consumed several fourth-rank demon cores with Wind Attributes, in addition to a few Qingfeng Grass that was a millennium old, it wouldn’t have advanced to the fourth rank so quickly.

"Being able to get your hands on so many fourth-rank monster birds’ demon cores, that’s also a skill,"

Yuan Rui praised, and recalling something, he enviously said, "Junior Brother Shen, you are quite fortunate to possess a heavy-type Spiritual Treasure."

For a body cultivator, having a heavy-type Spiritual Treasure significantly boosts strength.

"I was lucky to have obtained this treasure,"

Shen Long explained.

Yuan Rui nodded and put away the yellow chains.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle descended from the sky, clutching a black Storage Bag in its right claw, which belonged to Su Liang.

Yuan Rui put away the Storage Bag and said, "Junior Brother Shen, let’s head back!"

He walked onto the back of the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle, with Shen Long closely behind him.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle flew high into the sky at great speed.

After the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle flew tens of thousands of miles, a huge red mushroom cloud appeared in the distant sky, and the ground shook slightly.

Yuan Rui frowned, and the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle came to a halt.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Eh, it’s Fairy Chu. She’s being besieged by Barbarian Cultivators."

Shen Long gave a light exclamation.

"What, ran into an acquaintance?"

Yuan Rui inquired.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Decades ago, she and I were trapped in the Absolute Spirit Sea Domain together. It was thanks to her assistance that I obtained a heavy-type Spiritual Treasure."

"Let’s go help her! Along the way, we can slaughter the Barbarian Tribe too."

Yuan Rui declared, pinching his spell, and with a gentle flap of its wings, the Gold-Winged Thunder Eagle flew towards the distant location.

In an open field, Chu Buyu was manipulating five red-glowing flying daggers, battling a brawny man in a green shirt. The man in the green shirt wielded a green spear, and above his head floated a giant spectral image of a green wolf.

Chu Buyu pinched her spell, and the five red flying daggers merged into one, transforming into a red giant blade, wrapped in a wave of scarlet flames, racing towards the green-shirted man with astonishing heat.

The green-shirted man snorted coldly. With a flick of his wrist, the green spear met the red giant blade. A dull sound like the clashing of metal rang out as the red giant blade was repelled.

A thick golden thunderbolt descended from the sky, heading straight for the green-shirted man.

As the green-shirted man attempted to dodge, he was shocked to find that a powerful gravity had appeared out of nowhere and was firmly holding him to the ground.

With no way to avoid it, the spectral image of the green wolf above his head emitted a blue sonic wave, colliding with the golden thunderbolt.

The blue sonic wave and the golden thunderbolt dissipated together.

Chu Buyu summoned a white seal that shone with flickering light. After she injected a spell into it, the white seal blazed with blinding light, suddenly enlarging as it descended on the green-shirted man.

The green-shirted man hastily swung his green spear, sweeping out a series of heavy shadows, hitting the white seal continuously and repelling it.

A golden light flared up behind the green-shirted man as Yuan Rui appeared with a pair of golden wings on his back, a golden staff in his hand.

Yuan Rui spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning, striking precisely on the green-shirted man’s Protective Spirit Light, submerging his body in dazzling lightning.

Yuan Rui wielded the golden staff, causing a series of whooshing sounds as a flurry of staff shadows swept out, plunging into the lightning with a series of ’bang bang’ thuds. Indistinctly, a man’s scream could be heard.

Emerging from the green-shirted man, a Nascent Soul that looked very much like him flew out. Before it got far, a large red hand materialized out of nowhere and grabbed the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul’s face contorted in ferocity, its figure swelling up and then bursting apart, a tremendous surge of blue light shot up to the sky, engulfing an area of dozens of miles around.

As the blue light faded, it revealed a huge crater.

Chu Buyu was enshrouded in a thick red light screen, unharmed.

Shen Long descended from the sky and landed in front of Chu Buyu.

"Fairy Chu, are you alright?"

Shen Long asked.

"I’m fine. Fortunately, I ran into you this time, or else it would’ve been more likely bad luck than good for me,"

Chu Buyu said gratefully. Remembering something, she asked, "Taoist Friend Shen, I have discovered a fourth-rank Flood Dragon. Are you interested?"
