Chapter 312: Golden Core Great Demon

After about a dozen breaths, He Pingsheng drove the flying boat and arrived at the location of the Split-Origin Thunder Fruit.

On the golden fruit tree, lightning flashed.

The three silver fruits were particularly eye-catching.

He Pingsheng looked left and right; there was no one else in this valley.

Nor were there any guardian demonic beasts.

So, he did not hesitate at all, and his body leaped toward the Split-Origin Thunder Fruit in one bound.

As a result, his body had just flown over half the water surface.

The mirror-like water surface was suddenly broken by a giant force.

With a splash, a giant tail, as thick as a person's embrace and dozens of zhang long, pierced out from the water, then like a club, smashed toward He Pingsheng's head in mid-air.

The tail appeared bright silver.

While smashing toward He Pingsheng, a massive pressure simultaneously enveloped He Pingsheng.

"Open..."

He Pingsheng dared not be careless and immediately summoned a black divine spear.

Heaven-Defying Divine Spear!

This was his first time using the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear.

The divine spear transformed into three zhang long, thrusting slightly forward in He Pingsheng's hand; massive spiritual power exploded, and the black divine spear crossed the void, colliding with the giant tail falling from the void.

He Pingsheng had no time to expand his spiritual sense to observe the opponent's cultivation; his body retreated with full force.

Bang, he landed back on the Eight-Treasure Boat.

That black Heaven-Defying Divine Spear, however, spat red fire spiritual power, piercing directly through the silver giant tail with a 'pfft'.

Rumble...

The giant tail did not hit He Pingsheng but smashed into the calm water surface.

Monstrous waves were born out of thin air, transforming into giant ripples that surged along the river.

He Pingsheng waved his hand, and the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear in the distance turned around and flew back into his hand.

"Roar..."

A crazy roar came from beneath the water surface, and a giant silver snake splashed out of the water, standing dozens of zhang in the void.

Water fell from its body like rain.

In the gloomy valley, two creatures, one large and one small, faced each other.

Seeing clearly, He Pingsheng knew this was not a giant snake, but a dragon.

The giant dragon's tail had just been pierced by his Heaven-Defying Divine Spear, but for the giant dragon with such a massive body, that wound was only a slight skin injury and could not hurt its bones.

He Pingsheng made a defensive move, and at the same time, his spiritual sense swept over the giant dragon.

It didn't matter until he scanned it, which made He Pingsheng's heart turn cold.

Golden Core stage!

That's right, this giant dragon was a Golden Core stage demonic beast, and the key was, it was late Golden Core stage.

"Roar..."

The dragon standing on the water surface suddenly opened its blood-red mouth, a zhang wide, and roared at He Pingsheng.

Then, with lightning speed, it rushed its giant head toward He Pingsheng.

Bang...

He Pingsheng had no time to react and was directly knocked away.

The giant head did not slow down and hit the Eight-Treasure Boat again.

The Eight-Treasure Boat was also knocked over.

The good news was that He Pingsheng was not injured.

The bad news was that the power of the strike just now had completely dissolved all seven defenses on He Pingsheng's Seven-Buckle Sharp-Gold Armor.

No time to collect the Eight-Treasure Boat!

He Pingsheng took the opportunity to land on the cliff opposite, and then he moved his spiritual sense, unleashing the spiritual sense divine ability 【Formless North-Dipper Nail】.

Seven divine nails flew out from his sea of consciousness.

Coincidentally at this moment, the Golden Core great demon's head crashed toward He Pingsheng again.

"Go..."

The seven divine nails aimed squarely at the giant dragon's sea of consciousness.

This time, he did not swallow the Double-God Elixir, but attacked purely with the strength of his own spiritual sense.

After releasing the spiritual sense attack, He Pingsheng moved his feet and instantly exploded with five times his speed.

He whooshed away from the cliff, leaped up, and instantly landed on another cliff.

Bang...

The giant dragon's massive body and head slammed fiercely into the cliff, and then it began to cry out in pain.

It was not the pain from the impact, but the pain caused by He Pingsheng's spiritual sense attack.

But He Pingsheng's unstrengthened spiritual sense attack was not enough to tear the opponent's spiritual sense across ranks, so after a brief spiritual sense pain, this giant demon stood on the water surface again.

"Rumble..."

On the giant demon, countless water spiritual power surged out, transforming into nine water pillars reaching the sky.

Boom...

One of the water pillars roared toward He Pingsheng.

Golden light flashed beneath He Pingsheng's feet again, and he changed his position.

Just after he landed, the second water pillar roared again.

Bang bang bang...

Nine water pillars roared toward He Pingsheng in sequence.

He Pingsheng had no chance to catch his breath at all.

The Golden Core demonic beast's attack was too powerful, to the point that in this instant, He Pingsheng wanted to give up.

Damn it!

If only I had a third-tier defensive talisman.

I had two Ice-Origin Talismans earlier, but unfortunately, when Qiao Huizhu was undergoing the heavenly tribulation, He Pingsheng gave them to her.

Now they are truly gone.

"Open..."

After dodging nine water pillars in a row, He Pingsheng leaped up and flicked his hand rapidly.

Divine ability: Poison-Sting Ice-Cone Technique.

This water area is wide, so there is no need to borrow spiritual power to condense water.

Beside the demonic beast, ice cones roared up, each one carrying deadly poison.

Don't look at the giant dragon's massive body, but when it swam, it was extremely flexible.

All one hundred and eight poison-sting ice cones were dodged by it.

"Roar..."

When He Pingsheng's spell ended, the giant demon flicked its tail violently, and all one hundred and eight poison stings were swept away, transforming into poison-carrying ice arrows that flew toward He Pingsheng.

"Damn it..."

He Pingsheng had almost nowhere to hide.

"Glazed World..."

The second spell flew out.

The countless poison ice arrows flying toward him, some of those directly facing He Pingsheng, were sealed by his Glazed World spell.

With a 'bang', a giant block of ice formed and fell into the water.

While golden light erupted beneath He Pingsheng's feet, he waved his hand and took out a talisman.

Third-tier talisman: Thunder-Crush Talisman.

No choice!

Relying on his own strength, he couldn't win; the opponent was too powerful.

Let alone winning, if he kept fighting, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to run.

He Pingsheng now had two choices.

Swallow the Double-God Elixir, then kill this demonic beast with spiritual sense.

Or use a top-tier third-tier talisman.

He had two kinds of such talismans.

One is the Thunder-Crush Talisman, the second is the 【Life-Swallowing Talisman】.

Forget it, that Life-Swallowing Talisman is relatively slow, better use the Thunder-Crush Talisman.

"Fall..."

He Pingsheng activated the Thunder-Crush Talisman in one breath and smashed it toward the Golden Core giant dragon.

Rumble...

A heavenly thunder as thick as an arm was born out of thin air, falling violently on the giant dragon.

The giant dragon rolled and landed on the water surface.

On the water surface, there was lightning everywhere.

The dragon twisted its body and kept splashing in the water.

It didn't die?

He Pingsheng was also surprised.

He felt that this one talisman was enough to kill any Golden Core; why didn't this dragon die?

Could it be that the energy of the lightning was absorbed by the water?

Hmm...

That is really possible.

No rush!

He Pingsheng waved his hand and took out another Thunder-Crush Talisman.

If one talisman can't kill you, I'll use two.
