From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 210 - 205: Breaking through the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly
Chapter 210: Chapter 205: Breaking through the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly
The Fire Dragon spiraled in flight, guarding the surface of the Spirit Shield, spewing endless violent flames, protecting Li Quanqing and the others within.
For a moment, flames raged fiercely, dazzlingly bright, nearly tearing apart the entire Purple Cloud, causing heavy casualties among the Purple Crystal Flying Sky Scorpions.
Although these toxic scorpions were numerous, they were merely Qi Refining Demon Beasts; aside from their potent poison, they had no other advantages.
The Fire Dragon Cover was, after all, a top-grade Spiritual Artifact; its powerful might made such a display unsurprising.
"What a formidable shield! I did not expect a fellow from the Demon Hunting Hall to possess such an overwhelming method!"
The Sect Master of the Biwu Sect exclaimed in awe, now taking out his own Spiritual Artifact to start defending, everyone cautiously watching the Cave Mansion ahead.
Humming sounds!
The entire sky of Purple Crystal Scorpions vibrated their wings, spewing a Poison Barrier like purple smoke, enveloping the entire Fiery Dragon Cover.
Immediately after, the swarm parted, and a Half-demon Cultivator slowly walked out from the Cave Mansion, his pupils were vertical like a snake’s, and his appearance slightly terrifying and gloomy.
"Indeed, colluding with the Demon Clan, Human Clan traitors, not worth living."
Mu Daoist sighed faintly, his face becoming cold and hard, with killing intent surging.
"Human Clan... sabotaging my grand plan, all must die!"
This Half-demon Foundation Establishment spoke in a hoarse voice from his throat, looking at the bodies of the insects strewn across the ground, suddenly filled with rage.
He looked at the Fire Dragon Cover with trepidation, fearing this scorching flame power, and for a moment dared not approach.
Clearly, this was an Insect Cultivator tilting towards manipulation, not particularly strong in personal strength.
"Charge forth! Our Sect’s great Elder has not shown up for a long while, surely he is up to no good!"
The Sect Master of the Biwu Sect spoke in a heavy voice, seemingly holding onto some intelligence, appearing somewhat anxious.
Roaring flames!
The Fire Dragon spiraled, forging a path through the swarm of insects so that everyone could pass through, directly reaching the Cave Mansion.
Upon seeing this, the Insect Cultivator Half-demon could no longer care for the pain, forcibly ordering the Purple Crystal Scorpions to charge, hoping to wear down the flames and deplete Li Quanqing’s mana.
Shortly after, three Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared, among them only one was a Half-demon, the rest were unexpectedly Biwu Sect Elders who had also defected to the Demon Clan.
"Truly deserve death!"
Mu Daoist’s eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness, his fingertips glowed with emerald radiance, swirling out a trailing beam of light with the prowess of a Flying Sword darting back and forth.
A vigorous Yimu Essence Qi burst forth from it, like jade so translucent yet so exceedingly hard, capable of easily tearing through all manner of defensive Spiritual Artifacts.
Yimu Divine Light!
Li Quanqing watched several beams of emerald divine light display their power, in just a few passes, cutting down a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.
This Spirit Art was famously renowned, ranking in the top three for offensive power in the Wood Element and could even advance to Golden Core Divine Power in the later stages.
He focused on controlling the Fire Dragon Cover to defend himself, leaving the task of attacking entirely to Li Kunlun and the other two Great Perfection cultivators.
Soon, all the enemies were repelled, and they successfully entered the Cave Mansion.
Even the Insect Cultivator had been struck dead by the Gui Water Divine Thunder unleashed by Li Kunlun, turning into a charred corpse on the ground, void of life.
The moment he died, all the Purple Crystal Flying Sky Scorpions died as a group, clearly bound by a very strict enslavement contract, unable to escape their fate of death.
Li Quanqing shattered the corpse of the Insect Cultivator, taking a Spiritual Beast Bag from his embrace, perhaps it still contained viable insect eggs.
Such a toxic scorpion clad in a Purple Crystal shell was quite in line with his aesthetics.
Buzz! Buzz!
One by one, the fist-sized Purple Crystal Scorpions let out death rattles, shrill and piercing, falling into the dirt like dumplings, struggling as they perished.
At last, the purple toxic miasma dispersed, revealing the scene deep inside the Cave Mansion.
An Elder Daoist was seen sitting cross-legged mid-air, with a golden, plump Dan Pill before him, seemingly smooth and flawless, actually mixed with Demon Energy.
A person and a pill connected by their auras, clearly reaching the most critical moment, about to achieve Perfect harmony, merging into one.
"False Core Cultivator?!"
Li Kunlun exclaimed in surprise. This scene strongly resembled the breakthrough after assimilating a Third Rank Demon Core, nearly triggering an instinct to turn on his heels and flee.
Although False Core Cultivators can never advance in their entire lives, they could still be considered Golden Core True Masters, killing them was no different than slaughtering chickens or ducks.
Mu Daoist, upon witnessing this scene, also took on a serious expression, yet he did not panic, seemingly having everything under control.
The Yimu Divine Light surged forth, lightning and thunder roiling, wild spells lashing out like tidal waves towards the front.
However, numerous Array Patterns interwove chaotically, barricading the void, successfully defending against everyone’s attacks on the periphery of the Array, preparation had been thorough.
"Ha-ha! My Great Tao has been accomplished!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The Elder of Biwu Sect suddenly burst into laughter, completely refining the Demon Core before him, his aura violently surging.
He swallowed the Golden Core into his belly, temperament tumultuous and powerful, a newfound overbearing pressure blossoming, seemingly completely transcending the Foundation Establishment realm.
Just as Li Quanqing was about to signal everyone to flee, he suddenly noticed something amiss.
"Where is the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, why hasn’t it struck down?"
At the same time, the Golden Core that the Elder of Biwu Sect had swallowed trembled slightly, and abruptly two black spots appeared on its surface.
It wasn’t impurity smears marred by evil spirit, but two bloodthirsty, cruel eyes, dark and bright, emitting a bloodthirsty crimson glow from the depths of their gaze.
This wasn’t a lineage Demon Core, but rather an extremely precious Monster Egg!
Furthermore, possessing a noble bloodline and extraordinary origin, it could actually assist a Cultivator in breaking through the Golden Core Realm!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Demon Energy and Mana erupted simultaneously, stirring up storms, instantly attracting overcast clouds across the sky, thunder snaking like serpents, unleashing dazzling, brilliant light.
The Elder of Biwu Sect, defying the thundering skies, flew upwards, voluntarily wielded his Spiritual Artifact, prepared to forcibly endure the tribulation and assimilate the heaven’s Essence Qi into his being.
But gradually, he began to sense something was awry, as if all the Essence Qi within him was being devoured by the Golden Core, deflating like a punctured balloon.
In the blink of an eye, his flesh was withered dry, drained completely clean, fully nourishing the birth of the Demon Beast.
Originally full of vigor, he turned gaunt as a skeleton, his wildly flowing hair becoming like weeds, muscles shriveled, skin wrinkled, a foul stench emanating from him.
"No!! My Golden Core! My Great Tao!"
The agonizing screams of the Elder of Biwu Sect echoed from within, utterly tragic, leaving behind his last sigh in this world.
Sssssh!
Like the crisp sound of silk tearing, or as if a cocoon split its shell, silk threads snapping, breaking free completely.
The Elder’s back skin bulged greatly, then ripped open to both sides, revealing the marrowless ghastly white spine inside, shattering piece by piece.
Squeak!!
A golden, glowing Butterfly emerged from it, bathed in the Heavenly Thunder upon birth, unbecomingly beautiful, raising its head to let out its first shriek as it arrived in this world!
