Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 684 - 682 True Monarch Gui Cang

A few days later.

The army of North Sea cultivators continued their relentless bombardment, pouring an endless stream of artillery onto the Void Returning Array.

Although the array formation remained stable, such consumption was ultimately unsustainable.

At that moment, yet another Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator joined the North Sea army. The newcomer stirred up a commotion as many other cultivators began to summon their treasures and launch an even fiercer assault!

At the peak of a mountain in the outer range of Divine Leaf Sect.

Ning Daoran, True Monarch Golden Leaf, and True Monarch Wanhua, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, stood side by side.

"Merely holding our position like this will ultimately lead to defeat."

True Monarch Wanhua slightly furrowed her delicate brows and said, "But the North Sea army’s combat strength far surpasses ours in the Eastern Wilderness. Outside Divine Leaf Sect now stand three Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivators and eight Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators. Against such disparity..."

True Monarch Golden Leaf remained silent in thought.

Ning Daoran calmly replied, "Fellow Daoist Wanhua speaks correctly. Prolonged defense leads to ultimate failure. If we allow them to continue grinding away at the Void Returning Array’s array powers, it spells disaster for Divine Leaf Sect. I believe... we don’t necessarily have to remain passive. Fellow Daoists, look to the south of Divine Leaf Sect. There are two Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivators and four Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators stationed there. If we launch a stealth attack..."

"A stealth attack?"

True Monarch Golden Leaf’s expression turned solemn. "We are already at a disadvantage in strength. Would this strategy succeed? Fellow Daoist Ning, are you confident?"

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Golden Leaf."

Ning Daoran said, "Daoist, can you stall one Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator on your own?"

"I can."

True Monarch Golden Leaf said, "I’ve guarded Divine Leaf Sect for years, and a Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator is certainly within my capacity to hold off."

"Excellent," Ning Daoran said. "Old Lu has reached the Nascent Soul Mid-stage. He can definitely handle another Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator. Of the four Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators, Fellow Daoist Wanhua can engage one, while I’ll command a few spiritual beasts to suppress another. The remaining two Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators will fall to me. We must strike swiftly and decisively."

"That being said..."

True Monarch Golden Leaf seemed puzzled. "What is the key breakthrough of our operation, and where lies our chance of success?"

"The breakthrough is me," Ning Daoran replied with a faint smile. "Within ten moves, I can eliminate the two Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators. If the opportunity arises, killing one Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator would be even better. After I’ve slain the two Nascent Soul Mid-stage opponents, you both should act decisively, whether returning to the sect gate or striking accordingly. I’ll provide signals when necessary."

"Agreed!"

True Monarch Golden Leaf nodded. "Then... we shall follow Daoist Ning’s plan!"

"Let’s move!"

...

Under the cover of night, the three Nascent Soul cultivators vanished silently from the mountaintop, slipping into the wooded area to the south of Divine Leaf Sect. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Outside the grand array, two Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivators from the North Sea Cultivation World sat perched on a mountain peak, each holding a jar of spiritual wine, smirking disdainfully as they gazed toward Divine Leaf Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, if we manage to destroy Divine Leaf Sect and crush Jade Bottle Continent’s terrain within half a month, it will send a shockwave. Treasure Fan Continent and Divine Deer Continent will likely fall into our hands. The army’s eastward campaign will bring the remaining two countries’ cultivation worlds under our dominion... the North Sea Cultivation World’s conquest of the Southern Wilderness will be complete!"

"Exactly right!"

The other Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator in a gray robe chuckled. "Fellow Daoist Gui Cang, have you decided where to rebuild your sect?"

"This Divine Leaf Mountain... what does Fellow Daoist think?"

"With fifth-rank top-grade spirit veins, picturesque scenery, and abundant spiritual resources—the perfect place! Hahaha! So Fellow Daoist Gui Cang has had his eyes on this mountain all along, no wonder you’ve made such an effort!"

"Haha, you flatter me!"

"No, no~~~"

Just as the two Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivators exchanged pleasantries, the Void Returning Array in the southern area of Divine Leaf Sect suddenly opened a corner. Immediately, three flickering shadows sliced through the air!

"Not good! We’re under attack!"

The two Nascent Soul cultivators hastily soared into the air!

"Buzz~~~"

In the night sky, an Azure Dragon Spear extended into a massive figure dozens of meters long. With a powerful strike heavy with Ning Daoran’s force, the massive dragon’s sweeping blow caused the two Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivators to immediately summon their treasures to block. After a resounding explosion, both were forced back slightly, their faces filled with shock.

"You old dogs, die!"

A golden radiance burst forth as True Monarch Golden Leaf drove a golden leaf spiritual treasure through the air, striking against the gray-robed Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator.

"Howl!"

Spirit Garden Cave Heaven trembled as Big Stupid Deer, emanating killing intent all over, transformed into a streak of radiance and collided head-on with True Monarch Gui Cang!

Meanwhile, four streaks of tunneling light surged from the forest in the south—it was the four Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators!

"Charge!"

Ning Daoran wielded the Azure Dragon Spear, ascending rapidly, while within Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Little Bai, Little Blackie, and Ning Xiaogui charged out as well. Little Blackie immediately bit down on the neck of a Nascent Soul Early-stage Rabbit Demon summoned by the opposition, refusing to let go, blood flowing instantly!

"Screeeech~~~"

In the forest, a Nascent Soul Early-stage Scorpion Demon released by the North Sea cultivators shrieked sharply, its tail pincers transforming into blade-like stingers. Strikes rained onto Ning Xiaogui’s body, but the shell was too impenetrable, leaving only thin scratches behind.

"You vermin from the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World dare resist?!"

An androgynous-looking Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivator clad in red robes descended from the sky.

True Monarch Wanhua immediately summoned a spiritual treasure-level treasure sword to engage the opponent in combat.

Little Bai entangled another Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivator.

Thus, Ning Daoran, brandishing the Azure Dragon Spear, faced two Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators: True Monarch Beihan, and True Monarch Jihai. Both were renowned Nascent Soul cultivators from the North Sea Cultivation World, their hands stained with the blood of Eastern Wilderness cultivators during the conquest of Li Country.

"For a mere Nascent Soul Mid-stage to overestimate himself like this..."

True Monarch Jihai squinted his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Beihan, let’s join forces to handle this pest and finish him within ten moves."

"That’s precisely my intent!"

True Monarch Beihan’s face turned cold. "Attack!"

Before the words were fully spoken, he summoned an invisible, colorless thread that slashed through the void with a "swish." This offensive maneuver mimicked Ning Daoran’s rarely-used Spirit Cage Silk.

However, Ning Daoran’s Divine Soul and keen insight were unparalleled. With the True Yang Chi Xiao Body, his perception and sensitivity abilities had further improved several-fold.

Thus, though the opponent’s sneak attack was skillfully concealed, Ning Daoran detected it with utter clarity!

"Swish~~~"

As the thread pierced through the void, Ning Daoran tilted his head back to evade. Simultaneously, he delivered a fierce horizontal sweep with his spear toward True Monarch Beihan!

True Monarch Beihan was startled!

That his sneak attack could be seen through was beyond his expectations. Even more stunning was Ning Daoran’s ability to counterattack within such cramped quarters.

"You court death!"

Enraged, True Monarch Beihan refrained from summoning defensive treasures against the Azure Dragon Spear’s onslaught; instead, he pointed a single finger, releasing two streams of glowing light from his sleeve. These glimmers bypassed the spear’s sweep, transforming into two streaks of spirit light aimed at Ning Daoran!

Forsaking defense for offense to force Ning Daoran’s retreat—such a gambit showcased True Monarch Beihan’s supreme confidence in his own skill.

Yet, amidst the rolling spiritual pressure, tendrils of Chaos Immortal Vine emerged from the void, intercepting the two flying swords. Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Spear struck True Monarch Beihan’s abdomen at full force!

"Szzzt—"

True Monarch Beihan’s protective spirit light cracked and shattered on impact. In the next moment, the spear swept across his waist, cleaving deeply.

"What?!"

Nearby, True Monarch Jihai, mid-offensive with his spiritual treasure, froze in shock.

In his eyes, the previously dominant True Monarch Beihan had been bisected with a single blow!

"How... impossible?!"

True Monarch Beihan spewed blood, his complexion ashen. With only half his body stabilized by Nascent Soul power to hover in mid-air, disbelief clouded his gaze: "What kind of force is this..."

"Go!"

Ning Daoran pointed his finger, unleashing dozens of Golden Silk Swords towards True Monarch Beihan. Having suffered a critical injury, he could no longer pose any threat, and Ning Daoran quickly lost interest in him.

"Now... it’s your turn!"

With cold determination, Ning Daoran brandished the Azure Dragon Spear, closing in on True Monarch Jihai. A Martial Artist Aura burst forth, dragging True Monarch Jihai into the confines of the Dragon Demon Dojo!

"What?!"

True Monarch Jihai turned pale. He had never witnessed such a Martial Artist Domain.

Both the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World and North Sea Cultivation World rarely produced martial artists capable of reaching the Mixed Element Realm. Limited lifespans made martial artists advancing to such a stage as rare as phoenix feathers. Mixed Element Mid-stage practitioners were even more unheard of.

Therefore, True Monarch Jihai had no experience against this type of Martial Artist Field!

The Azure Dragon Spear created a storm of afterimages, delivering three consecutive strikes!

True Monarch Jihai was immediately overwhelmed, struck dumb and stripped of his arrogance. Dread clawed at his mind as the realization dawned that he might perish here today!

"It’s over..."

His face turned grim, and he prepared to instant-teleport away.

But at that moment, his mind faltered as he was struck by the Soul Suppressing Technique!

"Die!"

With a sweeping stroke, Ning Daoran obliterated True Monarch Jihai along with his Nascent Soul!

"Not good...!"

True Monarch Beihan, who remained half-crippled, grew panicked and prepared to escape. However, as his Nascent Soul’s Void Power built up to teleport, a Forbidden Breaking Talisman exploded nearby, throwing the surrounding void into extreme turbulence, rendering instant teleportation impossible!

The next second, Ning Daoran followed up with yet another Soul Suppressing Technique!

Azure Dragon Spear tore through the sky, and the resulting blood rain was incinerated by fierce flames.

Ning Daoran collected both of their storage rings and storage bags when he suddenly locked eyes with a pair of venomous, bloodshot pupils glaring at him.

"You animal... you dared to kill my disciple!"

The newcomer—True Monarch Gui Cang, a Nascent Soul Late-stage cultivator!

He ignored Big Stupid Deer’s relentless Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique assault, his entire being wrapped in Nascent Soul power, treasures manifesting around him in an overwhelming show of force as he charged at Ning Daoran!

...

This opponent’s combat prowess rivaled Shennong True Monarch and the Purple Flame Demon Lord. Defeating him within fifty moves was impossible!

If a prolonged fight occurred outside the sect gate, reinforcements from other directions would arrive, making the situation even more dire.

Ning Daoran made a swift decision, transmitting to the other two cultivators: "Fellow Daoists Golden Leaf and Wanhua, return to the grand array at once. I’m leaving temporarily to find a chance to deal with True Monarch Gui Cang!"

As he spoke, Ning Daoran swiftly gathered Big Stupid Deer, Little Bai, and others into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. Thunder crackled around him as he transformed into a streak of deep blue lightning, skimming across the ocean’s surface as he fled southward!

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

True Monarch Gui Cang roared in fury, his blood-red eyes fixed on Ning Daoran. True Monarch Jihai, his most talented disciple, had been slain. How could he let Ning Daoran escape so easily?!
