Chapter 222: Promotion to Third-tier Dream Soul Gu

"True Dragon Sword Art, Fourth Form: Dragon Head-Raising!"

A Cold Glow appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes. The fourth form of the True Dragon Sword Art was a terrifying sword move that could only be unleashed by those who had comprehended the True Dragon Sword Intent. With a single strike, it erupted like a True Dragon releasing endless dragon might, bursting forth with the True Dragon's will.

This sword was invincible, piercing through everything.

It was formless and colorless, without shadow or trace!

It could also ignore ordinary Dharma Power shields and the defenses of Inferior Grade Dharma Treasures, striking directly at the enemy's Soul.

A single strike could easily pierce through an enemy's body.

At this very moment, under the influence of the True Dragon Sword Intent, the entire earth began to tremble and hum, with gravel and dust on the ground shaking frantically.

Countless creatures and Monster Beasts in the forest were shivering and trembling uncontrollably.

It was as if a supreme being had descended.

"Oh no."

Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng's expression changed drastically. Sensing a fatal crisis, he once again activated his Inferior Grade Dharma Treasure, the Gold-Patterned Round Shield.

Boom~~

Instantly, a massive protective barrier rose up, upon which dense gold patterns emerged, combining like countless Runes to form multiple shield barriers.

Even if numerous spells were to strike down simultaneously, it could easily withstand them.

The other Golden Core Cultivators also hurriedly activated their own defensive spells—Shield Technique—attempting to block this attack.

But they still underestimated the power of the Third-tier Sword Dao True Dragon Sword Intent.

Streaks of formless sword intent blasted over, containing the will of the True Dragon.

Vaguely, the roar of a True Dragon seemed to echo through the Void, vibrating their eardrums and shaking the earth.

They easily penetrated the Golden Core Cultivators' shields and blasted directly into their bodies.

"Ahhh!!!"

The Golden Core Early Stage cultivators let out shrill screams. Unable to resist this sword at all, their bodies were easily pierced, and a massive blood hole instantly appeared in each of them.

"This, this!"

A full seven Golden Core Early Stage and one Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator widened their eyes, their gazes splitting, seemingly unable to believe they had been slain by a single sword strike; it was truly unbelievable.

They opened their mouths wide, wanting to say something.

But the intense pain instantly spread throughout their entire bodies, leaving them unable to utter a single word.

They could only watch these clones of Zhou Sui with eyes filled with unwillingness and remorse, regretting why they had waded into these muddy waters.

In the end, they gained no benefits and instead lost their own lives here; it was truly not worth the cost.

But regardless of their remorse or regret, it could not change the outcome.

When you live in this world, you always have to pay the price.

Before long, they all collapsed into pools of blood, their auras gradually fading away.

With just a single sword strike, seven Golden Core Early Stage and one Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator were instantly killed, with no power to resist.

The only Golden Core Cultivators remaining on the scene were Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng and Song Family Head Song Zhiwen.

One was at the Golden Core Late Stage, the other at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng was furious, his eyes splitting.

He had watched with his own eyes as three of the Yu Family's Golden Core True Persons were slain by a single sword.

Now, of the Yu Family's five Golden Cores, only two remained.

The Yu Family, which had been in such a favorable position, had now fallen into this state, with its members withered and suffering heavy losses.

He now wished he could tear these people before him into ten thousand pieces.

Suddenly, his face flushed red, and he immediately activated a demonic Secret Technique—the Blood Burning Secret Method.

This secret method could cause the Dharma Power in his body to instantly surge twofold.

Although it would consume a certain amount of his lifespan, at a critical moment, it could allow him to counter-kill his opponent and save his life.

It could be considered a life-saving Secret Technique.

Boom~~

In an instant, Yu Feng once again activated the Superior Magic Treasure, the Kui Ox Drum, pouring his violent Golden Core Dharma Power into the treasure, causing it to release a massive Thunder Law Domain.

The area for dozens of miles around was instantly enveloped by the Thunder Law Domain, and dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Streaks of purple lightning descended, each as thick as a water barrel, with terrifying power.

An ordinary Golden Core Early Stage cultivator would be blasted into fragments by a single streak of purple lightning.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Immediately, hundreds of streaks of purple lightning erupted, fiercely blasting against Zhou Sui's eighteen clones.

Even though his clones were already comparable to Golden Core Early Stage Body Cultivators.

They could not withstand such a violent lightning attack.

In a split second, six clones were instantly blasted apart and charred to cinders.

Huge deep pits appeared on the ground, with soil flying and smoke rolling.

The remaining twelve clones also suffered significant injuries to varying degrees, with many cracks appearing on their skin.

After unleashing this strike, a trace of blood could not help but leak from the corner of Supreme Elder Yu Feng's mouth.

Clearly, this strike had also consumed a significant amount of his Golden Core Dharma Power, causing his face to turn somewhat pale.

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui's true body in the distance naturally perceived this scene, but he only watched the opponent's actions with interest.

Because these were merely his clones.

Even if they all died here, he would not care.

As long as he was given some time, he could once again gestate a new clone.

Therefore, Yu Feng's desperate actions were merely a waste of effort.

However, from the opponent's perspective, they felt they had killed six Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators, believing this strike was a massive gain that had already caused the other side heavy losses.

"It seems I must have my Dao Companion take action."

With a thought from Zhou Sui, one of his clones immediately brought Lin Yazhu over, using Instant Movement to arrive at this location.

In any case, his clones had already exhausted seven or eight tenths of the opponent's power.

It would be best for his Dao Companion to come and clean up the aftermath.

"There is actually another enemy?"

"This female cultivator is the Qingmu Sect Sect Master, Lin Yazhu."

The faces of Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng and Song Family Family Head Song Zhiwen turned completely green; originally, a dozen or so Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators were already enough for them to handle.

Now, a Golden Core Late Stage female cultivator had actually appeared.

It was clearly intended to put them to death.

At this very moment, they completely lost the courage to fight and immediately wanted to use an Evasion Technique to flee this area.

"Blood Burning Escape Technique."

Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng shouted loudly, not caring that this Evasion Technique would consume his lifespan; after all, if he didn't run now, he would surely die, and he wouldn't have any lifespan left anyway, so why worry about the consumption.

Swoosh!

The Qi and blood of his entire body began to burn, and the Golden Core Dharma Power all over him burned like a raging fire, producing unparalleled explosive power as if he were a jet plane.

Instantly, he seemed to transform into a crimson ray of light, fleeing toward the distance at several times the speed of sound.

"Vermilion Bird Escape Technique."

Song Family Family Head Song Zhiwen was not to be outdone and immediately unleashed a powerful Evasion Technique obtained by his family—the Vermilion Bird Escape Technique.

This Evasion Technique was also quite formidable.

It could enable the practitioner to transform into a Vermilion Bird and flee toward the distance, flying rapidly into the sky, making it impossible for enemies to catch up in time.

Relying on this Evasion Technique, he had escaped death many times.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Song Family Family Head Song Zhiwen was enveloped in flames, appearing to transform into the shape of a Vermilion Bird; he turned into a large bird and instantly wanted to fly away from here.

Once he escaped this area, it would be almost impossible to catch up to him.

Unfortunately, Lin Yazhu had been waiting for a long time; she had been resting while the enemy exhausted their Dharma Power, so she naturally seized the opportunity to strike ruthlessly and beat the dog in the water.

"E-Wood Divine Thunder."

Immediately, Lin Yazhu took out the Superior Magic Treasure Golden Thunder Bamboo from her person; this was the ancestral Dharma Treasure of the Qingmu Sect, possessing infinite power, specifically designed to break evil, and was incomparably fierce.

In the past, when she was on Xianxia Island, she had once achieved great fame relying on the Superior Magic Treasure Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Now, after several years of Dual Cultivation with Zhou Sui, the side effects of the Green Wood Longevity Technique had been alleviated, which caused the Dharma Power in her body to more than double, resulting in a huge increase in combat power.

Suddenly, she held the Superior Magic Treasure Golden Thunder Bamboo and waved it gently.

Boom~~~

Bolts of golden thunder bombarded down from mid-air, with lightning speed, locking onto the auras of the two men like tracking missiles, and then fiercely struck Yu Feng and Song Zhiwen.

At this moment, she was like a Valkyrie mastering thunder, radiating a sacred aura that was inviolable, possessing the power to destroy all laws.

"Ahhh!!!"

Instantly, Yu Feng and Song Zhiwen let out shrill screams; their bodies fell from mid-air, and the Evasion Techniques on them were instantly disintegrated.

The massive power of the E-Wood Divine Thunder permeated into their bodies, filled with terrifying destructive force, and their internal organs suffered unprecedented damage.

With a thud, their bodies fell to the ground, their eyes wide open as if they died with grievances, and their entire bodies turned into charred remains, losing all signs of life.

With this, the ten Golden Core Cultivators who invaded Muling Island were all wiped out, leaving not a single one behind.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Zhou Sui's main body flashed and arrived beside Lin Yazhu via Instant Movement.

"As expected of the Qingmu Sect Sect Master, you really can solve them easily."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

He could perceive the strength of Lin Yazhu's cultivation; although one wouldn't dare say she was invincible in the Golden Core Realm, there were almost very few who could defeat her within the Golden Core Realm.

For these Golden Core Cultivators to want to exchange a few moves in front of Lin Yazhu was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"No, no, no, Master is still the most powerful."

"To be merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm and yet be able to challenge those of higher levels."

"Slaying seven Golden Core Early Stage and one Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, and severely wounding one Golden Core Middle Stage and one Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator."

"If this matter were to spread, it would surely shock the entire Wuji Alliance."

Lin Yazhu said with great emotion.

In her life, she had never seen such a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator who could easily slay Golden Core Cultivators as if they were chopping melons and vegetables; it was truly inconceivable.

To tell the truth, she had only read in some ancient texts that only some ancient Monster Beasts possessed such combat power.

It must be said that she was now increasingly suspicious that this man was simply an immortal descended to the mortal world.

Otherwise, how could he have such a level of combat power?

"Just empty fame."

"We cultivate immortality not to be fierce or aggressive."

"The goal is merely to attain the Dao and longevity."

"In essence, I am just a cultivator who is not good at fighting; it was only out of self-defense that I struck first to finish them off."

Zhou Sui said with a sigh.

Not good at fighting?!

Hearing this, Lin Yazhu's mouth twitched; she didn't even know what to say.

If those Golden Core Cultivators who were cleaved to death by a single sword strike heard these words, they would probably be so angry they'd come back to life.

If this wasn't considered being good at fighting, then wouldn't they be even worse than rookies?!

"Husband, I want to see the Storage Bags of these Golden Core Cultivators."

Lin Yazhu looked at the corpses of the Golden Core Cultivators lying on the ground with great interest, even though these Golden Core Cultivators had indeed brought a certain degree of trouble to the Qingmu Sect.

But their Storage Bags must certainly contain a large amount of Treasure, just right for making a big profit.

"No rush, don't get close; let's destroy the corpses first."

"To avoid any of these guys faking their death."

Zhou Sui waved his hand.

He would not easily get close until he had confirmed these guys were completely dead.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, he waved his large hand, immediately manipulating the Dream Soul Gu to begin devouring the dead Golden Core Cultivators; the Soul fragments scattered around were all swallowed into the Dream Soul Gu's belly.

Suddenly, the corpse of the Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng, which had turned into charred remains, let out a shrill scream, as if suffering unimaginable pain.

"This guy isn't dead yet?!"

Hearing this, Lin Yazhu was shocked, finding it simply unbelievable; clearly, he had taken a hit of her E-Wood Divine Thunder and should have been reduced to ashes long ago.

She didn't expect this old guy to still be alive, even pretending to be dead and unable to move.

Fortunately, her husband was cautious and had the habit of destroying corpses.

Otherwise, she might have been ambushed by the enemy just now.

"Damn you, you two wretched people."

"My Yu Family will not let you off; your Xianxia City will be destroyed by us sooner or later."

The Yu Family Supreme Elder Yu Feng was both shocked and furious.

He never expected these two wretches to be so cautious; even though he had turned into charred remains, they still wouldn't let him go.

They even wanted to destroy his corpse.

He had never seen such sinister and ruthless Cultivators in his life, not even letting him go after death.

At this moment, his hatred soared, and he wished he could tear these two wretched people into ten thousand pieces.

If it weren't for these two guys, he might have really been able to escape with his life.

But now, he was completely finished.

Buzz buzz~~

Zhou Sui ignored the dying wails of Yu Feng and immediately urged the power of the Dream Soul Gu to devour the other party's Soul.

Only a dead enemy is a good enemy.

Immediately, the Souls of the Golden Core Cultivators present were all devoured by the Dream Soul Gu.

Especially the Golden Core Cultivators just killed by Zhou Sui; their Soul energy belonged entirely to the Dream Soul Gu.

"Hm?!"

A glint appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; he sensed that after the Dream Soul Gu devoured the Souls of the seven Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators, the power on its body had increased geometrically.

Its own power had already reached the realm of Second-tier High-grade perfection.

But now, after obtaining the Souls of these Golden Core Cultivators, it was as if it had eaten a great tonic, helping the Dream Soul Gu achieve a huge improvement all at once.

Thump!

Suddenly, the body of the Dream Soul Gu shook slightly, and the massive Soul power instantly helped it break through the huge bottleneck on its body, beginning to step into a brand-new realm.

Third-tier Low-grade!

Without a doubt, at this very moment, the Dream Soul Gu had advanced to the realm of Third-tier Low-grade.

This was simply a qualitative improvement, and its strength had also undergone an earth-shaking change.
