Chapter 580: 489 Life-Bound Spirit Bird advances to the fifth tier_1

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as one bolt of heavenly tribulation after another struck down, the blinding light of the thunder engulfing the entire valley. Shockwaves billowed, turning this part of the world into a sea of thunder.

Shen Long’s gaze was fixed on the thunderclouds high above, his expression grave.

The Gold-Winged Windroc’s assault on the fourth level had already summoned two bolts of Tricolor Divine Thunder. Now, transformed into the Thunder Roc to assault the fifth level, it was uncertain which kind of heavenly tribulation would be summoned.

Time ticked away, with each bolt of heavenly tribulation growing larger and the lightning becoming even more blinding.

After half an hour, the thunderclouds churned and surged, giving rise to arcs of blue, red, green, and gold electricity.

"Four bolts of Four-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Shen Long’s brow furrowed.

A thick bolt of four-colored lightning struck down like a massive spear of four-colored thunder, carrying with it an aura of world-shattering might, and hurtled toward the ground below.

A loud and earth-shattering cry of a bird rang out, as a thick bolt of golden lightning flew out from within the flurry of lightning to collide with the four-colored thunder spear.

There was a huge boom, and a massive orb of four-colored lightning appeared high in the sky. Soon after, the second bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning fell, the lightning growing even more dazzling.

When the third bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning struck down, the thunderclouds roiled and surged once more, transforming into a gigantic Four-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon with lightning coiling around its body.

The Four-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon shook its head and swished its tail, plunging down from the high skies.

With thunderous rumbles, the ground shook violently, creating numerous hundred-yard-wide cracks as dust and debris billowed.

A massive orb of four-colored lightning soared into the sky, a powerful shockwave spreading out in all directions, reducing mountains to ashes in its wake.

After a while, a clear and resonant bird’s cry echoed through the air, followed closely by a massive bolt of golden lightning that shot upwards.

The Four-Colored Divine Lightning dissipated to reveal the Thunder Roc’s figure.

The Thunder Roc spread its wings; its body was wreathed in golden electrical arcs, with blood oozing from numerous wounds, exposing white bone in some places.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the color of the heavens and earth changed, the lightning flashed, and thunder roared, as if the surrounding hundreds of miles had become a sea of thunder.

Shen Long could clearly feel a great surge of mana flowing into his dantian.

His Life-Bound Spirit Bird advancing to the fifth level, he had saved himself over two hundred years of arduous cultivation, while still in The Early Stages of Divinity Transformation.

"Not bad, you have advanced to the fifth level."

Shen Long said, his expression filled with excitement.

With the Thunder Roc reaching the fifth level, its escape speed would be faster, and its divine skills stronger.

"It’s all thanks to Master’s help; otherwise, I wouldn’t have advanced to the fifth level so quickly,"

the Thunder Roc said gratefully.

Shen Long nodded, fed it a Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixir, and retracted the Thunder Roc into the Spirit Beast Bracelet before returning to Three Saints City.

...

In Tianyuan City, within a secluded estate, Yin Qing, Yin Shi, and Bian Rong sat in a stone pavilion, discussing something.

"Taoist Friend Yin hasn’t recovered his cultivation quickly enough. With the addition of another Soul Transformation Cultivator, if we take too long, the Human Clan might also produce a new Soul Transformation Cultivator."

Yin Shi said, frowning.

The Human Clan had stronger recovery abilities than the Tianyuan Tribe, and the more they delayed, the more passive the situation became for the Tianyuan Tribe.

They could not win in a direct confrontation, so defense was their only option. They were well aware of the consequences of staying on the defensive, but right now, they had no better choice but to hold their position steadfastly.

"It can’t be helped. Just dealing with Shen Long is difficult enough, let alone the fact that the Human Clan has quite a few Soul Transformation Cultivators."

Yin Qing said, her brow furrowed.

"Fortunately, we’ve managed to obtain a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure capable of trapping enemies. Should Shen Long be ensnared by this treasure, he wouldn’t have any hope of breaking free,"

Bian Rong said with confidence on her face.

If they couldn’t kill Shen Long, trapping him would be the next best thing.

They had failed to counterattack three times, and in two of those instances, Shen Long was responsible. If they could trap Shen Long, the other Human Clan Divine Skills Cultivators would be easier to handle.

"Let’s continue to drag this out. Keep exchanging resources in other realms. Sooner or later, we’ll find something capable of killing Shen Long."

Yin Qing spoke in a solemn voice.

"After all these years, I wonder how the Vajra Beetle from the Hundred Spirits Realm is recovering. It hasn’t broken through its seal, has it?"

Yin Shi casually brought up the topic of the Vajra Beetles from the Hundred Spirits Realm.

"It shouldn’t be possible, it’s only a fifth-order Spirit Insect, not so easy to break through a fifth-order formation, but that piece of space is unstable, and if the space collapses, even a fifth-order formation won’t be able to hold it back. Let’s hope they can’t escape! The Lower Realm hasn’t seen a fifth-order Demon Insect for many years, let alone a mutated one!"

Yin Qing sighed.

"Yeah! It’s also unclear how it mutated, its Purity of Bloodline actually reached five, which is truly inconceivable. Even for fifth-order Monster Beasts, it’s very rare to attain a bloodline purity of five, especially considering it’s the Lower Realm."

Yin Shi said with a puzzled tone.

"Could it be that a cultivator from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot brought them down here? After all, they originally belong to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, and for the past million years, the several adjacent realms haven’t seen any Vajra Beetle."

Bian Rong speculated.

"Who knows who brought them down... I’ve already reported it to the kin in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, not sure if any of them are willing to descend to the Lower Realm."

Yin Qing’s face showed a look of longing as she thought of something and said, "Right, the Human Clan wouldn’t have their sights set on that Ice Flood Dragon, would they? If they were to subdue it, our situation would become even more problematic."

"They probably wouldn’t! A fifth-order Flood Dragon is not so easy to handle, plus that space is unstable. They’d better go after the Ice Flood Dragon; if the space collapses, they’ll perish in the spatial storm."

Bian Rong analyzed.

"That’s true, if the space weren’t unstable, we would have gone over and wiped it out a long time ago, and we could have crafted a few more Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures."

Yin Shi strongly agreed.

...

Three Saints City, Spirt Control Garden.

Shen Long and Xue Yao were sitting in a cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"Seven Stars Jade Circlet Talisman! Thank you, Lady Xue."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude, holding a silver-shining talisman in his hand with seven golden light spots on its surface, arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper.

The Seven Stars Jade Circlet Talisman is a space-type Talisman that stabilizes space, and this type of Talisman is quite rare.

A member of the Snow Clan who was a fifth-order Talisman Maker helped Shen Long out at the request of Xue Yao to craft a Seven Stars Jade Circlet Talisman.

He had initially wanted to ask Qin Yue for help, but Qin Yue was killed by cultivators of the Thunderclap Clan before they could gather all the materials.

Shen Long killed Yi Yue and the other two and destroyed Yin Jie’s physical body, obtaining the wealth Yin Jie had on him, and thus finally gathered all the necessary alchemy materials.

"It was just a small effort, and the Flying Snow Pill you refined, Taoist Friend Shen, is also quite remarkable."

Xue Yao said with a slight smile.

"A mere trifle, it’s just a shame I couldn’t refine a supreme elixir."

Shen Long sighed with a look of regret,

"Supreme elixirs are very difficult to refine, Taoist Friend Shen need not worry, the efficacy of a high-grade elixir is already quite impressive."

Xue Yao consoled him.

After chatting idly for a while, Xue Yao bid farewell and left.

Shen Long entered an Alchemy Room, stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived at the fifth floor.

Cold winds howled, and snowflakes danced wildly.

A dragon’s cry that resonated through heaven and earth sounded, and the Ice Flood Dragon flew over.

"Master!"

The Ice Flood Dragon greeted with a voice.

"Once Thunder Roc has recovered, I will go and slaughter that fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon,"

Shen Long said with a smile, taking out two thousand-year-old Profound Ice Herbs and feeding them to the Ice Flood Dragon.

"Thank you, Master."

The Ice Flood Dragon expressed its thanks.

Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower, took out the Qianyang Cauldron and Alchemy Materials, and began alchemy.

Half a quarter hour later, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the Qianyang Cauldron, filling the entire Alchemy Room.
