Chapter 290

Inside the cave dwelling.

The sound of ancient, tongue-twisting incantations sounded one after another.

Yin winds blew, like the whispers of evil ghosts...

Two gray lights flashed in Fang Xing's eyes, swelling by an inch, piercing into the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's Nascent Soul.

Following that...

His divine sense split into thousands, like fine needles, piercing into the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's seven orifices.

Some sporadic memory fragments slowly emerged before his eyes.

"No!"

Half an hour later, Fang Xing opened his eyes, and the sword Nascent Soul in his body yawned, showing a trend of being somewhat listless.

Facts proved that the Nascent Soul spirit body held its origin and kept its unity, making it extremely difficult to search the soul.

Even if the soul was searched, what was obtained were just some meaningless fragments and life information.

"As expected, the true self still has to take action."

Fang Xing's true self sighed, grabbed the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's Nascent Soul, and the radiance of the Great Sun flashed on his brow.

A ray of Great Sun radiance appeared, and the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's Nascent Soul disappeared in a flash.

When it appeared again, it had already arrived in Fang Xing's sea of consciousness.

"In the past, it was always cultivators taking the initiative to possess me; today, it can be considered passively inviting you to possess..."

Fang Xing complained, and the Great Sun Melting Furnace appeared instantly.

Rays of Great Sun True Fire landed on the pitch-black Nascent Soul, igniting it completely.

The Myriad Phenomena Old Demon immediately let out a wail that didn't sound human.

Fang Xing, however, felt that the "Great Sun Tathagata Mantra" had improved again, and he glanced at the attribute panel:

【Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 270/400 (Master)】

"Oh? It seems the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed still okay... if ten or eight more came, my Great Sun Tathagata Mantra would be almost cultivated to the Grandmaster rank."

He closed his eyes slightly and began to recall the useful fragments in the "Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's" memory.

For example, the array map and important array eyes, defects, of the Myriad Phenomena Sect's mountain-protecting array "Myriad Phenomena Impermanence Array"...

For example, the locations of some sect secret treasures and secret treasuries...

"Hmm... after the Myriad Phenomena Sect lost a False Nascent Soul and a Nascent Soul seed, it is truly failing to connect the old with the new... the current Golden Core cultivators generally don't have much hope of condensing a Nascent Soul..."

Fang Xing was too lazy to chase and kill such Golden Core cultivators one by one.

If he happened to run into them, he would kill them while he was at it; if he didn't run into them, he would consider it their good luck.

Even if they were some cultivation geniuses, could their cultivation speed be as fast as his? If they wanted to find him for revenge, they might end up in despair in the end!

"There are also some strange skills and secret techniques... this Myriad Phenomena Old Demon is quite treacherous; most of the jade slips in the storage bag on his body are nine truths and one false... all missing the most critical steps; once falling into this trap, even if one cultivates into powerful spells, corpse puppets... like that Heaven-Turning Golden Corpse, when encountering the real owner, one might have it snatched away with a single incantation..."

"As for the fundamental Demonic Path cultivation techniques, they are also missing a few lines of incantations, making it very easy to go into demonic deviation..."

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing was browsing the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's secret techniques at will when a look of interest suddenly appeared on his face.

"Method of refining a False Nascent Soul?"

He pondered silently for a while and found that after the refining method, there was a passage of incantations, which was a secret technique on how to upgrade a False Nascent Soul into a cultivator's second Nascent Soul!

"This is not bad..."

However, after reading it, Fang Xing knew why this second Nascent Soul secret technique hadn't bloomed with brilliant light in the hands of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

"A False Nascent Soul is equivalent to a False Core; wanting to upgrade it is incomparably difficult..."

"If a False Core wants to turn into a True Core, one must first dissolve the False Core..."

"A False Nascent Soul is different; it needs to swallow the entire essence of another Nascent Soul through the 'Infant-Devouring Secret Technique' to restore a bit of vitality... even one Nascent Soul is not quite enough; at least two are needed to advance to a second Nascent Soul at the early Nascent Soul stage..."

"A second Nascent Soul refined in this way is essentially similar to a demonic object, and can advance by leaps and bounds by devouring other Nascent Souls... easily advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul or even late Nascent Soul stage!"

"However, the late Nascent Soul stage is the limit; demonic objects cultivated through such evil paths have no possibility of breaking through to God Transformation."

"And, the more it devours, the fiercer its personality, and the easier it is to backfire on its master!"

"It's a pity about the Myriad Phenomena Old Demon's Nascent Soul..."

Fang Xing felt it was quite a pity: "Otherwise, as long as it swallowed one more, wouldn't it be able to advance into a true second Nascent Soul? Then my Dharma power and divine abilities would be no less than those of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator."

"However, judging from the description of this secret technique, besides a cultivator's Nascent Soul, the essence pill of a Rank 4 transforming Great Demon should also be able to replace the effect of a Nascent Soul..."

"In this way, that Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon must not be let go..."

A thoughtful look appeared on Fang Xing's face.

A few days later.

A piece of news spread through the Dajing cultivation world like a thunderclap.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect, one of the five great Demonic Path sects—exterminated!

Not only did the Supreme Elder Myriad Phenomena Old Demon die and his soul vanish, but even the Myriad Phenomena Sect's mountain gate was broken by an unknown Nascent Soul True Lord, various treasures were looted, and Golden Core cultivators suffered heavy casualties.

The Profound Heaven Sect took the opportunity to send a large number of affiliated forces into the land of the Five Sects and Ten Nations and the further southern Demonic Domain; anyone with eyes could see that this was to cut weeds and eliminate roots.

The rogue cultivators and small and medium-sized cultivation forces of the entire Zheng State and Qi State were immediately plunged into carnival.

Even though most of what they obtained had to be handed over to the Profound Heaven Sect, and resources such as high-level spirit veins and spirit herb gardens were even more so, what they obtained was enough to make a cultivator rich overnight! Just as the eyes of the entire cultivation world were focused on the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Fang Xing had already arrived at the Azure Wave Cave area with Chu Chu Kuangtu.

The Azure Wave Cave, called a cave, was actually a vast inland lake, its water emerald green, carrying a chilling aura.

It was rumored that in an earlier period, although there were lakes here, the water was clear to the bottom and had no cold air.

In the emerald green great lake, there was an ancient cultivator cave dwelling, named "Azure Wave Cave."

Later, the cave dwelling opened, and after a great battle, the "Azure Wave Cave" collapsed, and the eighteen "Nether Ancient Universe Cold Beads" treasured within shattered, dissolving into the lake, creating this tens of thousands of miles of cold lake.

After an unknown number of years, a Rank 3 snake python practiced here, passed the transformation heavenly tribulation, turned into an Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon, and gathered a large number of demonic beasts, becoming a powerful demonic king.

During the several reclamation attempts back then, the Righteous Path forces were all blocked before the Azure Wave Cave and couldn't advance an inch.

This day.

The ten-thousand-mile Azure Wave Lake was chilling, and above it was a Universe Ring, a layer of cyan-red light covering down, spreading all around the lake.

The lake, which was about to set off stormy waves, suddenly became calm, without a ripple.

In the high sky, stars twinkled, and a purple star shone brightly.

Chu Chu Kuangtu was like a human emperor, his flying sword dancing, full of the grand and domineering nature of the Son of Heaven's sword, forcing a green flood dragon over ten zhang long into a corner with no way to heaven and no door to earth.

This flood dragon had scales like fish scales, blooming with cold light under the sword light, actually colliding with Chu Chu Kuangtu's natal flying sword and only losing a few dragon scales, its defense incomparably astonishing.

It had two small horns on its head, without branches, and two claws on its belly, each with three toes, and no reverse scales under its neck.

Clearly, this was not a true dragon, but a flood dragon!

"Abominable human race!"

At this moment, the Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon spoke in human language and suddenly let out a loud dragon roar.

Endless water flow was generated out of thin air, like a huge whirlpool, wanting to roll all the sword light of the stars in the sky into it.

Swish!

At the critical moment, Fang Xing held his sword and killed his way in.

He and his sword became one, the sword light so fast it was unimaginable, like a chilling sword prison, sweeping the Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon in.

Countless white-gold sword lights erupted, carrying bits of blood-stained dragon scales, falling from mid-air.

One could imagine that in the coming year in this Azure Wave Cave, all kinds of dragon-blood demonic beasts would inevitably grow vigorously and multiply frantically...

"Roar roar!"

The Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon felt pain, and its heart was even more anxious.

It had previously relied on its strong demonic body and the lack of unity among the Righteous Path Nascent Souls to barely tangle with them.

But now, two Nascent Soul Sword Lords had come, their killing power astonishing!

And they had strange treasures that countered its water escape!

This even made it smell a trace of the aura of death.

The more it faced death, the more frantic the transforming Great Demon became.

Roar roar!

Amidst the dragon roar, the Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon spat out a stream of emerald green cold flame.

This flame was definitely ranked at Rank 4, emerald green in color, the inner flame heart like flowing water.

As soon as it appeared, heaven and earth seemed to suddenly enter a cold winter where water dripped into ice, and the entire lake surface began to freeze.

The sword light filling the sky seemed to be soaked in cold, becoming slow, until it stagnated.

"Rank 4 cold flame? Truly a good evil beast!"

Fang Xing cursed, light flashed above his head, and the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul directly exited his body.

This scene made Chu Chu Kuangtu's eyelids twitch slightly.

The Nascent Soul spirit body is the foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator; unless it is a last resort, they are unwilling to let the Nascent Soul exit the body, fearing all kinds of damage.

Although using the Nascent Soul to fight has the ability to catch people off guard, almost no Nascent Soul True Lord would do so.

But Fang Xing was different!

With the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul, he directly used the False Nascent Soul exiting the body as a conventional method.

At this moment, the Myriad Laws Nascent Soul stood above his head, holding the "Green Yang Demonic Lamp" in its hand.

His true self formed hand seals with both hands, and the Green Ghost Staff appeared, emitting a sound of ghostly wailing and wolf howling.

The Azure Water Cold Flood Dragon's movements stagnated; a demonic beast's soul is naturally weaker than a cultivator's, so this counted as hitting its fatal weakness.

At the same time, the Myriad Laws Ghost Nascent Soul above Fang Xing's head giggled and flicked its finger, and a bean-sized bit of ink-green lamp fire flew out; it was the Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire!

Burning!

The Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire collided with the Rank 4 cold flame, the extremely hot and extremely cold flames colliding together, instantly setting off a fire cloud the size of a mu, spreading frantically in all directions!

"Slash!"

Taking advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity, Chu Chu Kuangtu and his sword became one, turning into a huge purple sword light, slashing through the Azure Water Flood Dragon!

Clatter!

Two sections of the dragon corpse fell from mid-air, blood spilling across the sky all the way!

From the dragon corpse's belly, a pale cyan essence pill the size of a fist appeared, in which a miniature emerald green little flood dragon let out a dragon roar, darting out from the flood dragon pearl, holding the flood dragon pearl in its mouth, and fleeing toward the periphery in a panic!

Boom!

Five colors—black, white, red, yellow, and cyan—shot into the sky, turning into a demonic cloud the size of a mu, trapping the flood dragon essence soul inside.

"The physical body of a Rank 4 transforming Great Demon is incomparably strong, but the essence pill doesn't have the innate affinity with the Great Void like a cultivator's Nascent Soul spirit body, able to teleport and flee..."

Fang Xing looked at this scene, unable to help but be thoughtful.
