Chapter 495: Chapter 279: True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s Shock, the Nebula Pavilion’s Land of Physical Body Cultivation

Qi Chuan looked at the corpse of the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon in the seawater with a very calm expression. It appeared quite intact on the surface.

Crack.

However, in the next moment, a tearing sound echoed.

The massive corpse of the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon suddenly split open from the forehead, along the spine, down to the tail, divided into two.

Trickle.

A vast amount of blood spread out, dyeing this entire sea area a scarlet red, turning it into a sea of blood.

Qi Chuan gestured with his hand, and from within the two halves of the corpse, a fist-sized Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast Core flew into his hand, which he then collected.

After that, Qi Chuan moved his body and began processing the high-value materials from the corpse.

For not having used his Transparent Sword Heart to slay this Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon, Qi Chuan felt no surprise at all.

Firstly, his Nascent Soul was as tall as four inches and nine-nine in height, already taller than the vast majority of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.

If it were just 0.01 inches taller, reaching five inches, he could have started to impact the Realm of the Great True Monarch, though the success rate was dismal.

Furthermore, his Nascent Soul was not an ordinary Nascent Soul, but one evolved from a First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core, with a deeper Nascent Soul foundation compared to others of the same height.

This was the foundation.

More importantly, his Sea-Splitting Sword had advanced by absorbing and refining the essence of high-tier metal from the deep sea. Although this was the Sea Demon’s domain, his Lifebound Flying Sword felt equally at home in the ocean!

Lastly, combined with his Sword Dao Divine Techniques, he was able to slay this Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon.

As Qi Chuan finished collecting the Sea Demon Core and began harvesting the high-value materials from the Sea Demon’s corpse, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, watching from the sea surface not far away, was already stunned.

"This... was it slain just like that?"

"This is a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon, and still in the sea!"

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo was deeply shocked.

Just now, he was still hesitating.

Should he get involved and help deal with this Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon?

In the end, he saw the other party displaying the power of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage, breaking some of the Sea Demon’s innate divine technique light beams with remarkable strength.

Seeing this, he was very surprised that the other was actually Nascent Soul Middle Stage, not Early Stage.

At that point, he felt it wasn’t that dangerous and planned to help.

After all, a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator plus a Nascent Soul Middle Stage might not be enough to deal with a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon, but two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators had a much higher chance, greatly reducing the risk.

If he didn’t help, even though the other displayed Nascent Soul Middle Stage strength, there was still a significant chance they couldn’t defeat the Sea Demon, and they would fall here.

However, just as he was about to take action, an incredible scene unfolded right before his eyes.

The other displayed a real trump divine technique, and in just one move, they slayed the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon and began collecting demon beast materials.

"Do you really need to be this strong?"

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo marveled internally.

Both at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, to kill a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon so swiftly and easily in the sea like this—such power was indeed terrifying.

On reflection, his previous worries were completely unfounded.

The man didn’t need a warning to retreat, evade the Sea Demon’s attack, or need his help to resolve the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon. He alone was fully sufficient to deal with it.

"Moreover, it’s fortunate that over the years, I haven’t done anything wrong regarding him cultivating in the Deep Sea Ice Pool, or else if something had come between us, my end would likely be the same as that of the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon."

Recalling past events, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo felt a bit of relief on his face.

Thankfully, not only did the two not harbor grudges, but looking at the congratulatory gifts given by Qi Chuan earlier for his advancement, it seems they even had formed some good relations.

Just then, the sea surface slightly fluctuated, and the figure of a young man slowly rose.

It was Qi Chuan, having finished collecting the high-value materials from the Sea Demon’s corpse.

Upon surfacing, Qi Chuan slightly raised his gaze and saw True Monarch Cyan Bamboo in the void.

In fact, he had sensed the other’s arrival when he was fighting the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon but chose to ignore it, deciding to slay the Sea Demon first.

Up in the void, upon meeting Qi Chuan’s gaze, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo felt a chill in his heart, dared not delay, and immediately flew down, landing not far away. He cupped his fists toward Qi Chuan and proactively explained, "Your Excellency, I am the Supreme Elder of the Cyan Bamboo Sect on Sea Bamboo Island, eight hundred miles to the west, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo."

"Previously, I received your gifts of congratulation upon my advancement, but never got the chance to thank you."

"This Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon had previously cast its eyes on Sea Bamboo Island and then headed for this Deep Sea Ice Pool. Upon learning this, I rushed here to inform you to evacuate, but unexpectedly I witnessed how easily you slew that old foe. Realizing I underestimated your strength, if I’ve disrupted you, I kindly ask your forgiveness!"

Qi Chuan had numerous speculations about True Monarch Cyan Bamboo in front of him.

Upon hearing the other’s words, he understood further, and then with a smile, he said, "So it’s True Monarch Cyan Bamboo. True Monarch Cyan Bamboo also meant well, there is only gratitude, how could there be blame? Moreover, I’ve been cultivating here for many years, if there’s any disturbance, it’s me who disturbed, and the previous gifts were indeed of thankful intent."
