Chapter 596: 505 Iron Tail Scorpion Tests the Blade_1

Thirty years quickly passed by.

In the Tianyuan Realm, Shen Long stood on a steep peak, gazing into the tricolor thunderclouds in the high sky.

The Fire Qilin Beast had devoured a total of five Fire Attribute fifth-tier Demon Cores, and after nearly a hundred years, it finally made its breakthrough to the fifth tier.

From the advancement of the Thunder Roc, Iron Tail Scorpion, and Ice Flood Dragon to the fifth tier, Shen Long discovered that the higher the purity of the bloodline of the spirit beasts and spirit birds, the higher their utilization rate of resources.

The Thunder Roc, Iron Tail Scorpion, and Ice Flood Dragon all had a bloodline purity of five, and they broke through to the fifth tier after consuming at most three Demon Cores of the same attribute. However, the Fire Qilin Beast, with a bloodline purity of only four, had to consume a total of five Fire Attribute fifth-tier Demon Cores to make its breakthrough.

For the Fire Qilin Beast to attract three Tricolor Divine Thunders during its breakthrough was considered quite decent.

A thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth resounded as a thick bolt of tricolor lightning sliced through the sky, striking towards the Fire Qilin Beast.

After a loud roar from the beast, a surge of red flames swept forward, meeting the tricolor lightning.

With a series of booming noises, the tricolor lightning collided with the red flames, bursting into a huge tricolor light.

Soon, the second bolt of tricolor lightning descended.

Shen Long turned his head to look into the distance, where Xu Yang was flying toward him.

"Uncle Shen, we’ve found the spatial node leading to the Qingmei Realm, but it requires your intervention to verify."

Xu Yang said, his expression respectful.

Shen Long nodded and asked, "Is there still no news of Yin Hao and Yin Yue?"

He was unaware that Yin Hao and Yin Yue had returned to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. If these two were still in the Tianyuan Realm, they would undoubtedly pose a great threat.

"There’s no news of them, but the Tianyuan Tribe has had a new Soul Transformation Cultivator emerge. When a group of Human Cultivators were apprehending Tianyuan cultivators, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator from the Tianyuan Tribe appeared. Fortunately, the Red Rainbow Fairy happened to pass by, and she has advanced to the Divinity Transformation Stage."

Xu Yang reported.

"What is his surname and background? Where is Fairy Ye now?"

Shen Long asked with a frown.

It was not surprising for a new Soul Transformation Cultivator to emerge from the Tianyuan Tribe, which had deep roots and has dispersed to hide.

With the current strength of the Human Clan, it was unrealistic to fully occupy the Tianyuan Realm. Given the vast size of the Tianyuan Realm, it was difficult to find Divinity Transformation Cultivators who intended to hide.

"Bian Shang. This person is proficient in Fire System Divine Power. Senior Ye is currently in Qianyang City."

Xu Yang said.

The battle between the realms had been going on for more than two hundred years, with heavy casualties on both sides. The Tianyuan Tribe was greatly weakened, power structures were shuffled, and a large amount of rare resources scattered. Some cultivators found opportunities and their cultivation progressed significantly.

"Fairy Ye has ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage! That’s indeed wonderful news."

Shen Long said with a smile.

The Red Rainbow Fairy was the head of the three great Loose Cultivators of the Southern Border Cultivation World, and her name was widely known.

A deafening thunderous noise erupted, sending a huge tricolor mushroom cloud skyward, shaking the earth and the mountains.

Shen Long turned his head to look and heard a resounding roar that pierced the clouds. A red Escape Light flew over and landed in front of him—it was the Fire Qilin Beast.

The body of the Fire Qilin Beast had multiple terrifying wounds, its abdomen faintly revealing bone, and its body emitting a burnt smell.

"Master! I have advanced to the fifth tier," the Fire Qilin Beast said with a somewhat stiff voice, as with the advancement to the fifth tier and the increased purity of its bloodline to five, it was now capable of human speech.

Xu Yang was immensely shocked—this was a fifth-tier Spirit Beast that could speak the human language.

Shen Long took out a three-thousand-year-old Fiery Sun Grass and fed it to the Fire Qilin Beast, then stored it back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Let’s return to Qianyang City, Nephew Xu!"

Shen Long said and turned into an Escape Light heading toward Qianyang City, with Xu Yang hurrying to follow.

Qianyang City, Spirit Control Garden.

Yuan Rui and the Red Rainbow Fairy sat in the Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"It’s a pity that I haven’t been in the Divinity Transformation Stage for long and don’t own a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, so he managed to escape."

The Red Rainbow Fairy said with a tone of regret.

"Fairy Ye has ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage, congratulations!"

The voice of Shen Long rang out.

No sooner had he spoken than Shen Long walked in, sporting a smile.

"Taoist Friend Shen, long time no see."

Red Rainbow Fairy initiated the greeting.

"Fairy Ye, did you encounter a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Tianyuan Tribe?"

Shen Long casually asked.

Red Rainbow Fairy nodded and briefly described what had happened.

Xu Yang walked in, looking anxious, "Master Uncle Yuan, Uncle Shen, Senior Ye, Bian Shang has appeared again. Over five thousand miles northwest of Qianyang City, he ambushed a team of Human Cultivators."

"To dare commit such a crime near Qianyang City, he’s looking for death."

Yuan Rui was full of murderous intent.

"They should know that Taoist Friend Shen is in Qianyang City, yet they still dare to show up,"

Red Rainbow Fairy expressed with doubt.

"I’ll go meet him. You all hold down the fort in Qianyang City."

Having said this, Shen Long turned into a streak of Escape Light and left Qianyang City.

More than five thousand miles away, in an open space, the ground was pocked with huge pits emitting black smoke.

Shen Long flew over and frowned upon arrival.

His Divine Sense spread out but detected no other cultivators.

With a flick of his wrist, a fox with four tails emerged from the Spirit Beast Bracelet. It was the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox, a mutation of the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

After sniffing the air a few times, the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox said, "Master, the southwest direction."

Shen Long released a flying boat that flickered with blue light, boarded it, and the Four-Tailed Spirit Fox followed closely behind.

With the casting of a spell, the Blue Flying Boat flew toward the southwest direction and soon disappeared from sight.

Half a month later, the Blue Flying Boat stopped over a stretch of rolling green mountains.

Shen Long shook his wrist, and the Iron Tail Scorpion emerged from the Spirit Beast Bracelet and burrowed into the ground.

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, which was currently at the late-stage of the fourth order.

The eyes of the Hundred Eyes Cicada shone brightly with golden light, and after a short while, it emitted a piercing cicada cry.

Shen Long’s expression turned cold, and his right fist glowed brightly with red light as he launched a punch.

The sound of tearing through the air was loud, and a giant red fist flashed out, heading straight for a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

With thunderous booms, the valley burst open, and a tall, slender man in a red robe flew out, his face full of terror.

"Shen Long, how did you find me!"

The man in the red robe wore an incredulous look.

He had attacked a team of Human Cultivators leaving Qianyang City, hoping to capture more information, and immediately fled after succeeding, constantly changing directions.

He never expected that the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox, with a Purity of Bloodline at five, would possess such keen smell, easily finding him. If it were another Spirit Beast with a lower Purity of Bloodline, it might not have been able to track him down.

Bian Shang hurriedly performed a spell, and a vast amount of red firelight surged in the void, transforming into spears of red fire that shot directly at Shen Long.

Shen Long let out a heaven-shaking howl and expelled a wave of red sound waves that shattered the spears of red fire.

Bian Shang’s body radiated bright red light, ready to use his Escape Speed to flee.

An ear-piercing scream sounded, and he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell from mid-air.

A powerful gravitational force emerged, and Bian Shang’s body rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

He lifted his right hand, and a small red brick flew out, which instantly enlarged and smashed onto the ground.

With loud booms, the ground cracked open, and dust billowed everywhere.

Bian Shang landed on the ground, feeling as if his body weighed billions of pounds, finding it nearly impossible to move a step.

A scorpion’s tail emerged from below the surface and struck his Protective Spirit Light, which flickered and dimmed, almost disappearing.

The ground turned to sand, and a radius of several hundred miles became a gigantic sandpit, where Bian Shang’s body was buried.

"No······"

Bian Shang let out a cry of despair as the enormous sandpit swallowed him.

A Nascent Soul flew out from the sandpit, but before it could get far, Shen Long grabbed it and performed a Soul Search.

"So it was to probe the situation in Qianyang City."

An expression of sudden realization appeared on Shen Long’s face.
