Chapter 593: 502 Iron Tail Scorpion, Ice Flood Dragon advance to rank 5_1

Time flew by, sixty years had passed.

The Longyuan Mountain Range was located in the southwest of the Tianyuan Realm, stretching tens of thousands of miles.

Shen Long stood atop a high peak, gazing worriedly at the thunderclouds in the sky.

After sixty years of recuperation, Shen Long had recovered, and the healing effects of the Purple Marrow Surrounds the Primal Elixir and the Snow Ginseng Pill were quite remarkable.

The Iron Tail Scorpion had devoured three rank-five earth attribute Demon Cores in succession, successfully inducing the Heavenly Tribulation to break through to rank five.

With flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, thick silver lightning bolts tore across the sky, striking downward.

Shen Long sensed something and with a flick of his wrist, a beam of white light flew out, emitting an earth-shattering roar of a dragon. It was the Ice Flood Dragon.

"Master, I am about to make a breakthrough to rank five," said the Ice Flood Dragon, urgency in its tone.

Having devoured the corpse of a rank-five Ice Flood Dragon and then successively two rank-five ice attribute Demon Cores, it wasn’t surprising that it was now ready to break through to rank five.

"Go a bit farther to make your breakthrough to rank five! I will guard you," Shen Long instructed.

The Ice Flood Dragon assented and flew toward the distance.

It reached a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and let out a long roar to the sky.

A dragon’s roar that resonated through heaven and earth ensued, followed by the sound of thunder.

The clear sky suddenly darkened with dense clouds, fierce winds blew, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Before long, a massive cluster of thunderclouds appeared in the sky, the clouds tumultuous and teeming with countless thunder snakes slithering incessantly.

A thick silver lightning bolt split the sky, heading straight for the Ice Flood Dragon.

The Ice Flood Dragon’s body emitted a bright white light, releasing a tremendous amount of white cold air, which formed a thick white ice armor that protected its entire body.

The silver lightning struck the white ice armor, creating several cracks, but quickly, the white cold air from the armor healed the cracks.

As time slowly passed, with lightning flashing and thunder crashing, thick silver lightning bolts struck down, submerging the area within a hundred miles in lightning, and the aura of it billowed.

Shen Long watched the Iron Tail Scorpion’s tribulation while using his Divine Sense to keep an eye on the Ice Flood Dragon’s situation.

Half an hour passed, and the thunderclouds surged and billowed, emitting arcs of blue, green, gold, and yellow, turning the clouds into four colors.

"Four-Colored Divine Lightning!" Shen Long’s face tensed.

The Iron Tail Scorpion had drawn three strikes of Four-Colored Divine Lightning, but fortunately, it had consumed a five-thousand-year-old Seven Stars Cold Moon Grass, which could enhance its ability to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

Shen Long’s brow furrowed as he looked into the distance, where a massive cluster of silver lightning brightened a distant patch of the sky.

His Divine Sense detected several Nascent Soul Cultivators flying toward this location.

"Eh, it’s Fairy Chu," muttered Shen Long as his wrist flicked, sending out the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Person.

Different from before, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox now had four tails.

After devouring the corpse of the Silver-Eyed Illusion Fox and the ten-thousand-year-old Qixia Jade Lotus, and then hibernating for over fifty years, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox awoke, successfully mutated, sprouted three more tails, and became a Four-Tailed Spirit Fox.

Besides, it could now cast Illusion Techniques through its eyes, which was its Mutated Divine Power and could also be considered an inheritance of the Divine Skills of the Silver-Eyed Illusion Fox.

"Protect them; I will go over and have a look," Shen Long ordered.

"Yes, Master," the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Person replied.

Shen Long stomped his right foot on the ground, transforming into a beam of Escape Light that broke through the air and flew into the sky.

In an open area, Chu Buyu was battling two Cultivators from the Thunderclap Clan.

She was now in the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, and both Cultivators from the Thunderclap Clan were also in the Late Stage of Nascent Soul; they kept unleashing Thunder Methods to attack Chu Buyu.

A treasure umbrella sparkling with silver light floated above Chu Buyu’s head, releasing a silver light screen that enveloped her.

Thick silver lightning bolts struck the light screen, disappearing without a trace as if they were mud into the sea.

The Spiritual Treasure Silver Moon Umbrella, infused with a rank-four Absorbing Thunder Pearl.

"You killed my master, and today will be your demise," said Chu Buyu with an icy tone. As she formed her spell, three enormous Flood Dragons radiated brilliant spiritual light, pouncing towards the Thunderclap Clan Cultivators.

The Thunderclap Clan Cultivators tried to dodge, but a powerful force of gravity emerged, with the ground cracking open and they found themselves immobilized, unable to escape.

With booming noises, the three Flood Dragons shattered their defenses and crushed them into pulp.

Nascent Soul flew out of his body, swelling rapidly, ready to self-destruct.

The ringing of bells suddenly sounded, and the Nascent Soul shrank back to normal size, like a deflated ball.

A sweep of crimson glow enveloped the two Nascent Souls and whisked them into a blue gourd.

"It’s been a while, Fairy Chu. You’ve advanced to the late stage, congratulations!"

Shen Long greeted her with a smile on his face.

"Senior Shen, how come you’re here?"

Fairy Chu exclaimed in surprise.

"I was dealing with a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Tianyuan Tribe with friends from the Big Dipper Pavilion and got injured; I’m healing here. Do you know what’s happening outside?"

Shen Long asked.

Yin Hao and Yin Yue had fled. He didn’t go to the Tianyuan Mountain Range but found a place to heal instead.

"The Tianyuan Tribe has been defeated. They were hunting us down everywhere before, but now the tables have turned. Under Senior Yuan’s leadership, we are hunting them down."

Fairy Chu Buyu said.

The front lines collapsed, a large number of the Tianyuan Tribe’s Life-Bound Lamps extinguished, the Heterodox Cultivators of Tianyuan Mountain Range fled in all directions, and emptied the tribe’s treasure vault.

The Human Cultivators killed some of the Tianyuan Tribe and, learning of their defeat, no longer hid and contacted other Human Cultivators to join forces and hunt down the Tianyuan Cultivators.

"What about Yin Hao and Yin Yue? Haven’t these two Soul Transformation Cultivators shown up?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"I haven’t heard any news about them for now."

Fairy Chu Buyu shook her head, seeming to remember something. She took out an exquisite golden casket and a Nascent Soul, handed them to Shen Long, and said, "Senior Shen, I seized these from a Thunderclap Clan cultivator. This is his Nascent Soul, which might be useful to you. The casket is sealed with Divine Sense restrictions that I can’t unravel."

Shen Long took the Nascent Soul and searched its soul.

"I’ll take this casket. What would you like? Feel free to ask."

Shen Long said cheerfully, accepting the golden casket.

"I would like some Miracle Elixirs to help me break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, if possible?"

Fairy Chu Buyu asked tentatively, with a hopeful expression.

"This Seven-Treasure Glaze Pill and Golden Glare Pill can assist you in your breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage. I’ll also add a fifth-level defensive talisman. Whether you can advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage is up to you."

Shen Long took out a turquoise box and a talisman flickering with blue light and handed them to Fairy Chu Buyu.

"Thank you so much, Senior Shen."

Fairy Chu Buyu said excitedly, taking the turquoise box and the blue talisman with both hands.

"You protected me back then, allowing me to focus on breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage. Stay by my side; it’s safer."

Shen Long said with a pleasant expression.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Fairy Chu Buyu agreed.

A thunderous roar resonated, and a massive burst of four-colored lightning shot up into the sky.

"Stay here, I’ll check it out."

Shen Long instructed, flying towards the four-colored lightning.

Before long, he landed in a huge crater, billowing with black smoke, where the Iron Tail Scorpion lay with a charred surface and a weak aura.

"How are you! Are you alright?"

Shen Long asked with concern.

"Thanks to my master for giving me a 5000-year-old Seven Stars Cold Moon Grass, otherwise, I really couldn’t have lasted."

The Iron Tail Scorpion replied weakly.

A deafening dragon’s roar sounded as the Ice Flood Dragon flew over.

It, too, had completed the Heavenly Tribulation, successfully advancing to the fifth tier.

The Ice Flood Dragon’s body was covered in blood, with many scales fallen off, and bones visible in places. Despite its powerful body, it would have endured the tribulation even without the Seven Stars Cold Moon Grass.

Shen Long fed each of them a 3000-year-old Spiritual Medicine and placed them into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Person also returned to the Spirit Beast Bracelet, then Shen Long took out the golden casket, his eyes burning with excitement.

This casket was likely related to Cai Lei; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given so much to Fairy Chu Buyu.

Storing the casket away, he regrouped with Fairy Chu Buyu and departed from that place.
