Chapter 680: 589 Shen Long vs Gold Cordyceps Clan Cultivator_1

In a certain golden sea area, the sea breeze blew in gusts.

The Cloud Sea Boat flew in from the distant horizon and came to a halt with a flicker.

Shen Long and Shen Hai stood on the Cloud Sea Boat, their faces full of caution.

The Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada’s eyes lit up with a dazzling golden light as it scanned the surroundings.

"No discovery here, but I found two Blood Shark Beasts, over eleven hundred li in the southwest direction."

The Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada spoke.

"They’re fifth-rank Blood Shark Beasts, leave them be."

Shen Long said, his divine sense detecting the aura of the two fifth-rank Blood Shark Beasts.

Shen Hai formed a spell with his hands, and the Cloud Sea Boat flew forward, with the Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada in charge of scouting.

On their way here, they encountered quite a number of fifth-rank Monster Beasts, which Shen Long ignored.

With his powerful divine sense, along with the visual prowess of the Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada, if a sixth-rank Monster Beast approached within a thousand li of Shen Long, he would detect it early and escape in advance.

Seven days later, the Cloud Sea Boat appeared above an uninhabited island with a radius of a thousand li.

There was an active volcano in the northwest corner of the island, and the vegetation was lush.

Shen Hai formed a spell with his hands, and the Cloud Sea Boat slowly descended at the foot of a high peak with steep terrain.

"This is the place."

The Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada spoke, its eyes emitting a burst of blinding golden light that struck the foot of the mountain.

A flash of red light revealed a thick light screen with visible flaming patterns.

The body of the Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada shone brilliantly with golden light, and the red light screen shattered like a bubble, revealing a cave several zhang wide.

Shen Long’s divine sense spread out, detecting nothing unusual inside the cave.

"Not good, Master, there are five cultivators from the Golden Jiao Tribe coming this way, southwest direction, fourteen hundred li."

The Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada spoke out.

Shen Long frowned slightly and after some thought, he brought out the Ghost Hiding Banner and cast a spell into it.

After the "woo-woo" sound of ghostly wails rose, the face of the Ghost Hiding Banner surged with a mass of Yin Qi, concealing their figures.

Not long after, the Yin Qi dispersed, and Shen Long, Shen Hai, and the Hundred-Eyes Golden Cicada disappeared.

After a while, a golden escape light appeared in the distant horizon and came to a halt above the deserted island.

The escape light receded, revealing a constantly shimmering golden flying shuttle, on which four men and one woman stood, all larger in size than the Human Clan, with a single golden horn on their heads and some golden spirit patterns on their bodies.

A burly man in golden clothing stood at the forefront, his aura unfathomable, possessing the cultivation of the late stage of Divinity Transformation, while the other four were at the middle stage.

"Huh, someone has broken the enchantment I set around the perimeter."

A voluptuous woman in red dress let out a light gasp, her face filled with confusion.

"The item hasn’t been taken away, has it?"

The man in golden clothing spoke.

Just then, the sound of terrifying waves rose, the sea churned, and a giant wave hundreds of zhang high surged rapidly towards the five people from the Golden Jiao Tribe.

The giant wave moved quickly and grew larger in size.

"Be careful behind."

The man in golden clothing spoke, his right fist shining brightly as he hurled a punch.

The void twisted and deformed, emitting a piercing sound of tearing through the air, and a golden giant fist flashed out to meet it.

The golden giant fist collided with the towering wave, which instantly exploded, sending thousands of blue water spears flying out, heading straight for the five people in the golden clothing.

The woman in the red dress pinched her spell, and a large amount of red firelight appeared in the void. After the red firelight brightened, it transformed into numerous red fire spears, hurtling forward to meet the attack.

With resounding booms, the red fire spears and the blue water spears annihilated each other, creating a large expanse of white mist.

As the void fluctuated, a furry yellow giant palm appeared above the heads of the men in golden robes, slapping down at them.

At the same time, a sharp, piercing shriek sounded, causing the woman in the red dress and her companions to feel dizzy and unstable on their feet.

The golden jade pendant on the chest of the man in golden robes shone brightly, showing no signs of disturbance, and his right fist met the attack head-on.

He was a body cultivator, having ingested numerous miracle elixirs that strengthened his physical body.

His fist collided with the yellow giant palm, and with a scream, his right fist became bloodied and mangled, his bones fractured, and his body rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

The yellow giant palm effortlessly penetrated the Protective Spirit Light of the woman in the red dress and her companions, smashing them into a pulp.

A hundred-zhang tall Yellow Giant Ape appeared, it was Shen Long.

He had originally intended to avoid conflict, but when he realized that the other party was also here for the ancient cultivator’s cave, he decided to strike, considering they were only five Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Now that he was in the late stage of Divinity Transformation, his strength greatly increased when he used the Art of Transformation.

From the pulp of flesh, three beams of Spiritual Light emerged, transforming into two Tribulation-Substituting Beads twinkling with light and one Tribulation-Substituting Talisman. The beads shattered, and the talisman burned away into ash.

A hundred li away in the void, three beams of Spiritual Light reappeared, and the three women in red dresses emerged, their expressions full of panic.

"A fifth-order monster beast?"

The man in golden robes said doubtfully.

The Yellow Giant Ape stomped heavily on the ground, causing a large crack to appear and the entire desolate island to shake violently, as well as generating a powerful gravitational force.

The bodies of the three women in red dresses fell uncontrollably to the ground, their bodies’ Spiritual Light flaring brightly to no avail.

A shrill shriek sounded again, making the three women dizzy and disoriented.

A golden-red spear flew towards them, easily piercing through their Protective Spirit Light and their heads. As their Nascent Souls just began to manifest, they were enveloped in a blue glow and pulled into a blue jade bottle.

The man in golden robes reacted with shock, as the sharp horn on his head shone brightly, shooting a beam of golden light towards the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s body radiated with a yellow glow as it disappeared into the ground.

The golden light struck a mountaintop, which instantly shattered, scattering rocks and dust into a thick cloud of debris.

The man in golden robes raised his right hand, tossing out a palm-sized golden seal that grew larger in an instant and smashed towards the ground.

As he moved his fists, a series of sounds of tearing through the air followed, and multiple shadows of golden fists flew out, heading straight for the ground.

Blasts of tremendous noise erupted, and dust billowed.

A golden thunder light flared behind the man in golden robes, and Shen Long appeared with a pair of wings on his back, covered with golden electric arcs, wielding the Zyphyxial Blade.

He opened his mouth and spit out a thick bolt of golden lightning that struck the man’s Protective Spirit Light. The golden thunder light engulfed the man’s figure.

He swung the Zyphyxial Blade through the golden thunder light, and a pitiful cry from the man echoed.

A hundred li away in the void, a beam of golden light flashed, and the man in golden robes reappeared, his eyes filled with panic. If not for his Tribulation-Substituting Treasure, he would have been obliterated.

On his back, a pair of wings glistening with golden light emerged, and with a vicious flap, he transformed into a gust of wind and vanished.

"A lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure? Are you faster than me?"

Shen Long sneered coldly.

He flapped his golden wings vehemently, the thunder increased dramatically, and he turned into a bolt of golden thunder and disappeared.

Five breaths later, the golden thunder light flared above the desolate island, and Shen Long appeared. He easily caught up with the man, effortlessly eliminated him, and captured his Nascent Soul.

A cultivator from the Gold Cordyceps Clan accidentally stumbled upon an ancient cultivator’s cave here, unable to break through the seal, she sealed the entrance and went back for help.

Coincidentally, Shen Long was also searching and they encountered each other there.
