Chapter 945: 854 Initially Gaining Fame

Yellow Giant Fist collided with the Black Giant Fist, annihilating each other and releasing a powerful shockwave that shattered the void and the ground, filling the sky with dust and debris.

A hint of surprise flashed in Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch’s eyes. He was, after all, at the Mahayana Mid Stage. Shen Long had transformed into the Mountain Giant Ape and easily neutralized his attack. This was still just a common attack. What would the power be like if it were the unique Divine Skills of a True Spirit?

"Taoist Friend Shen, let me witness the Divine Skills of a True Spirit."

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch spoke with a grave tone, his gaze becoming serious as he donned a pair of black boxing gloves.

The Yellow Giant Ape’s body emitted a brilliant blue light, transforming into a scaled Blue Giant Dragon.

The Blue Giant Dragon roared to the sky, spewing out a blue sonic wave that headed straight for Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch.

Every plant and stone turned to dust wherever the blue sonic wave passed.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch’s fists radiated blinding black light, and upon motion, he smashed towards the void.

The void shattered, and two black giant fists emerged in a flash, colliding with the blue sonic wave.

A thunderous boom echoed as the two black giant fists were crushed by the blue sonic wave, which continued heading towards Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch changed his spell, and an enormous humanoid shadow appeared above his head, exhibiting the Dharma Nature.

With a prompt incantation, the right hand of the humanoid shadow smacked the void, and a black giant palm emerged in a flash to meet the blue sonic wave.

A massive explosion rang out, and the two forces were annihilated, leaving the area shrouded in smoke and dust.

A hint of surprise crossed the eyes of Five Thunder Divine Monarch. The Divine Skills of a True Spirit were beyond his expectations. Shen Long, relying solely on the Divine Skills of a True Spirit, was already a match for Mahayana Mid Stage cultivators. If he possessed the physical body of a True Spirit, his strength would increase manifold.

The Blue Giant Dragon’s right claw struck the void, causing ripples to spread above Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch’s head. A gigantic Blue Dragon Claw appeared and promptly slammed down.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch reacted quickly, incanting spells, causing the Dharma Nature’s hands to strike above his head and collide with the Blue Dragon Claw.

The humanoid shadow’s arms shattered upon collision with the Blue Dragon Claw, turning into specks of Spiritual Light that dissipated.

The Dharma Nature was broken, and Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch’s face turned beet red as he spat out a large mouthful of Essence Blood.

His figure swayed, dodging the Blue Dragon Claw.

The Blue Dragon Claw struck a towering tree, instantly turning it into sawdust.

A bright blue light enveloped the body of the Blue Giant Dragon, seemingly preparing to cast some secret technique.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch was startled and hurriedly spoke: "Stop, Taoist Friend Shen, there’s no need to continue the contest, I admit defeat."

"Thank you for yielding, Taoist Friend Qiu."

The Blue Giant Dragon spoke and reverted back to human form.

Even without mastering the tenth layer of cultivation, Shen Long’s use of the unique Divine Skills of a True Spirit made it difficult for Mahayana cultivators to resist directly.

"Taoist Friend Shen merely employed a portion of the True Dragon’s Divine Skills and I am no match. If you were to transform into the Vermilion Bird form, I would be even less of an opponent. No wonder even the Mahayana cultivators from the Super Clans could be slain by a True Spirit."

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch lamented with a face full of admiration.

Before the exchange, he was brimming with confidence, but only after did he realize the true weight of the term "True Spirit."

"I don’t have the subsequent cultivation techniques, and I heard this auction might sell them. I hope to acquire them."

Shen Long expressed a yearning desire.

"Taoist Friend Wang, Taoist Friend Qiu, let’s return to the marketplace for a chat!"

Chu Buyu suggested.

Neither Five Thunder Divine Monarch nor Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch objected, and the four returned to the marketplace, engaging in casual conversation at Green Rainbow Pavilion.

"Taoist Friend Qiu, do you know of any Eighth Rank Monster Birds with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline?"

Shen Long inquired.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch was well-established with extensive connections and might be aware.

"I’m not aware of that. If I obtain any information in this regard, I will surely notify Taoist Friend Shen. I’ve heard that Taoist Friend Shen is an Alchemist! I would like to request Taoist Friend Shen’s help in refining a batch of Elixirs."

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch produced a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with his Divine Sense and nodded: "I require an Eighth Rank Demon Core, preferably of the Thunder Attribute."

"Thunder Attribute Eighth Rank Demon Pill? I only have one left, plus three other Eighth Rank Demon Pills and ten ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, how about that?"

The Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch said earnestly.

He knew other Eighth Rank Alchemists as well, but their prowess paled in comparison to Shen Long’s. Asking Shen Long for help in alchemy was merely an attempt to establish a connection.

"Fine, but I don’t have time right now. Deliver within a hundred years."

Shen Long responded.

The Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch had no objections and agreed, taking out a green Storage Bracelet and handing it to Shen Long.

Half an hour later, the Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch and the Five Thunder Divine Monarch both took their leave.

"The news of husband defeating Taoist Friend Qiu will probably spread quickly. Ning Xiang and Jiang Wei will surely be even more wary of husband and not dare to act rashly."

Chu Buyu analyzed.

"That’s exactly what I hope for, which is why I sparred with Taoist Friend Qiu."

Shen Long explained.

He had True Spirit Fruits; after taking them, he would be able to withstand the attacks of Xuantian Treasures for a short period and thus, had no fear of Ning Xiang and Jiang Wei.

As Chu Buyu predicted, the news of Shen Long defeating the Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch spread rapidly, and Shen Long’s fame grew along with it.

...

In the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, Ning Xiang and Jiang Wei sat on their chairs with furrowed brows.

Ning Xiang was holding a Messaging Plate that shimmered with spiritual light and asked with a frown, "Taoist Friend Qiu, is Shen Dao’s strength really that formidable?"

"Would I deliberately lose to Shen Dao? The weight behind the term ’True Spirit’ is substantial."

The voice of the Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch was solemn.

"That’s true too. Didn’t he transform into a Vermilion Bird? I heard that the Vermilion Bird’s Divine Skills are even stronger."

Ning Xiang remarked.

"Taoist Friend Shen said he didn’t have the subsequent cultivation techniques, just turning into a True Dragon and I was already no match for him."

The Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch relayed truthfully.

"It seems the Divine Skills attached to the Myriad Demons True Scripture are indeed formidable. I hope we can secure this Cultivation Technique."

Ning Xiang said.

"Let’s leave it at that for now! Madam Ning, I have some matters to attend to."

After saying this, the Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch cut off the connection.

"Without mastering the tenth layer, Mahayana Mid Stage Taoist Friend Qiu was no match for him. If he masters the tenth layer, only Mahayana Cultivators who possess Xuantian Treasures and command the Spirit Domain would be his match."

Ning Xiang speculated with a frown.

"My worry is, he has already mastered the tenth layer and just hasn’t shown it, keeping it as a card up his sleeve."

Jiang Wei guessed.

"That shouldn’t be possible. Eighth Rank Monster Birds with Vermilion Bird Bloodline are extremely rare. He ascended to the Mahayana Realm less than ten thousand years ago; where could he get Essence Blood of an Eighth-Rank Monster Bird with Vermilion Bird Bloodline? Besides, complete Myriad Demons True Scriptures are also scarce; our Heavenly Demon Palace has only collected the techniques for the first three layers."

Ning Xiang analyzed.

The Myriad Demons True Scripture circulated widely, with cultivators in many domains practicing it, most of whom were not of high Cultivation.

"Hopefully that’s the case. Nevertheless, he remains a hidden threat. Either act as if nothing happened or eliminate him completely."

Jiang Wei suggested.

If they decided to move against Shen Long, it must lead to his death; otherwise, they would be inviting endless trouble.

"Senior Brother Lin has been contemplating the Spirit Domain for over a hundred thousand years. If Senior Brother Lin can bring his Cultivation of the Spirit Domain to Great Perfection, even annihilating a True Spirit wouldn’t be an issue."

Ning Xiang said with an expression of longing.

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "The Spirit Domain requires too much perception. It is said that this auction will include the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit; hopefully, we can obtain it. With the fruit, contemplating the Spirit Domain would be much easier."
