Chapter 455 Nascent Soul Battle Royale: The Azure Lion Stone Puppet Displays its Divine Power
The Panlong Ring has two forms.
The ring form represents more of a kind of authority, a level of authority far exceeding that of a reserve cavalry general, almost equivalent to the Crown Prince's power in the Immortal Dynasty.
This alone provides a great deal of room for maneuver.
Especially in the current struggle for Dongjijing, if used well, it might be possible to replicate the operation in the Immortal Official's Medicine Storehouse.
The second form is a square dragon seal.
The power of this magical artifact lies primarily in this form. Wang Yu, who has gained the approval of the spirit within the artifact, can smoothly wield it.
It's quite energy-intensive, and it's not suitable to try it rashly here, as it could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
After inspecting the dragon ring, Wang Yu put it on his right index finger. Just then, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
We'll see if there's an opportunity to implement it next.
After taking another look at the main hall of the East Palace, Wang Yu packed up the Crown Princess's coffin and took it away. The materials used to make this thing were all top-grade spiritual items.
Perhaps it can be integrated into the Thunder Fiend Coffin to enhance the grade of this magic weapon. Having been nourished by Yin spiritual power and soul power for 100,000 years, the materials used to forge the coffin have undergone earth-shattering changes.
It's fair to say it's well-marinated; in short, it's a unique type of fifth-tier spiritual material, perfectly suited for crafting spiritual coffin-type magical artifacts.
It's not quite ready to be used yet.
Although the trip to the Eastern Palace was unexpected, the gains were still considerable, especially the Panlong Ring, which meant that Wang Yu had another trump card to win.
When Xie Xie'an obtained the Rakshasa Demon Bell, he coveted it, but he was defeated by the secret hidden within and dared not touch it at all.
I can only offer this favor as a convenient gesture. Speaking of which, Xie Xie'an should have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by now, barring any unforeseen circumstances…
Next, Wang Yu used the authority granted by the Panlong Ring to leave the East Palace without any intention of reuniting with the Proud Sun Demon, and instead went alone to the west side of the palace.
As the residence of the Human Emperor, besides treasures like the Longevity Medicine Treasury, there are other places of opportunity. The most precious item besides treasures is the [Marrow Cleansing Pool]!
Legend has it that this pool can help people undergo a complete transformation, improve their cultivation aptitude, and even transform their bloodline.
Wang Yu possesses the aptitude of a spirit body, which is essentially the limit in the Ice Prison Realm; his goal is now the Nascent Soul Realm.
Theoretically speaking, the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pool on him are generally not very good.
It doesn't have the legendary effect of defying fate.
"It's a pity that Xueyu wasn't brought along this time. If she could soak in the Marrow Cleansing Pool, her bloodline could at least advance to the middle level of the Earth Rank."
Wang Yu felt a surge of emotion and continued onward.
Theoretically, the Marrow Cleansing Pool should have no effect on him, but according to the ancient records of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, it possessed a fifth-order dragon vein during the ancient Immortal Dynasty.
The Marrow Cleansing Pool is a treasure nurtured by the dragon vein.
His idea was to cultivate the Demon Dragon Armor to the level of a mid-grade fourth-tier true artifact. The original intention of creating this thing was actually to provide powerful defensive capabilities.
But gradually it changed. Wang Yu valued more the boost it could bring to his physique, the amplification of his Silver Blood Divine Power, and even the enhancement of his Power Field by nearly one-third.
The results were quite remarkable.
With the Panlong Ring in hand, Wang Yu's authority was so high that even after countless years since the Immortal Dynasty was destroyed, he could enter and leave the palace as if it were empty.
Those extremely dangerous restrictions and formations no longer posed a threat to him.
They could go almost anywhere, and the journey was smooth sailing.
As time goes by.
When Wang Yu arrived at the Cleansing Pool deep within the palace, he began to absorb the water of the Cleansing Pool using the dragon vein devouring power of the Demonic Dragon Armor.
Several days passed quietly.
…………
…………
Tianxing Tower.
As the Nascent Soul cultivators reached their limits, the tower spirit unceremoniously threw them all out. As the Yellow Springs Temple cultivators cautiously surveyed their surroundings...
To everyone's surprise, there was no ambush at all.
What is Leng Gu doing?
It seemed unlikely that they were spreading false information. The group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yellow Springs Temple quickly assembled, along with a few Nascent Soul cultivators from the Mingshan Sect who were just there to make up the numbers, forming a large Nascent Soul team of more than twenty people.
The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect also quickly assembled.
They tacitly avoided mentioning the opportunities and gains from the Heavenly Star Tower. Both sides simultaneously discovered a problem: the Proud Sun Demon and the Netherworld Child, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection, had both disappeared.
Youmo, Minghu, Yin Gui, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Um...where is my brother, the King?"
Their focus was more on people they knew. The Tianxing Tower had undergone tremendous changes in the short time it took to enter and exit, and it was difficult to sort out the situation in a short period of time.
Even Tianyin, the personal disciple, exclaimed in surprise.
"So strong! Senior Wang Yu is ranked 299th on the Heavenly Star Ranking. He's facing the Nascent Soul stage test!"
Everyone's attention quickly shifted to the Tianxing Stone Tablet.
No one cared that Tong Du addressed a young man a hundred years younger than himself as a senior. Given the vast difference in their strength, it was perfectly normal for him to call him a senior.
When will the younger generation enter the Nascent Soul stage?
Those are all old disciples. The new nine peak disciples of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect were selected some time ago. Except for Blood Nether Peak, each peak has eleven or twelve disciples.
Only one of them can become a direct disciple. The competition in the demonic path has always been cruel. It is better to die at the hands of a fellow disciple than to give one's life and fortune to a stranger.
This idea is remarkably simple and straightforward.
The three most renowned veteran Nascent Soul experts—Sanshi Daoren, Lei Houjun, and Bingpo Xianzi—are the leaders of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect team in the absence of the Proud Sun Old Demon!
At this moment, the frequency of their secret telepathic communication is extremely high.
Upon discovering Wang Yu's ranking on the Heavenly Star List, and recalling the fact that the two had disappeared at the same time, a corresponding connection immediately arose.
"They went to the palace..."
This is a consensus among the three, but what are the reasons?
The opportunities in the imperial palace are not so easy to obtain. Just preparing to break the restrictions takes a considerable amount of time, as can be seen from the fact that they managed to break through the palace's magic array.
The opportunity presented by the Heavenly Star Tower is right here. Those who have gone through the trials within it know very well that the Heavenly Star Tower definitely holds the opportunity to achieve the Divine Transformation stage.
The disappearance of Youmingzi may be due to this reason.
The Three Corpse Daoist, whose face was deathly pale and resembled a young male corpse, transmitted his voice: "Senior Jiaoyang said before that he would secretly set up traps to take the opportunity to eliminate those lower-level Nascent Soul cultivators from Huangquan Temple."
"In other words, he won't give up easily unless there's a compelling reason."
"There seems to be residual traces of an array here."
A few simple words led the three to a consensus.
"--Walk!"
No matter what happened, the Proud Sun Demon didn't care, so why should they? After secretly informing their fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, they each took their Core Formation disciples and fled towards the imperial palace.
As soon as the members of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect made a move, Di Mingzi, who had regained power, gave the order without hesitation.
"Follow them!"
He vaguely guessed the reason. After all, Youmingzi hadn't hidden anything when he made the plan. He suspected that Lenggu had been killed, but he had also completed Youmingzi's mission.
Perhaps it was for this reason that they were not caught in the trap set by the Old Demon of the Sun.
It must be said that the Nascent Soul stage demons are all shrewd and cunning.
In a short while, he guessed the situation pretty accurately. Thinking that the Yellow Springs Temple Master might come in person, Di Mingzi directly used his supernatural powers to attack the people of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
The unique black and yellow handprints resemble the hands of gods and Buddhas emerging from the clouds.
While both techniques utilize the Yellow Springs Great Handprint, Di Mingzi has cultivated it to the fourth level, making the terrifying Yellow Springs turbid flow even more realistic.
This move was difficult to defend against with magical treasures. The Ice Soul Fairy suddenly turned around, her red lips slightly parted, and she exhaled a stream of cold air. The extremely cold breath transformed into an ice storm that froze everything.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the Yellow Springs Handprint was frozen, and finally fell to the ground, turning into a pile of ice shards.
"Excellent tactic!"
Di Mingzi formed hand seals, and one after another, giant white bone swords, like pillars supporting the sky, fell from the heavens, surrounding the cultivators of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect in an array formation.
This is a combination of the Yellow Springs Burial Bone Curse Sword and the Earth Array Master's techniques.
The hastily created sword formation possessed unprecedented power; if the Nether Demon and the Nether Tiger were to resist it, they would likely be rendered helpless in a single exchange.
However, at this time, there were quite a few powerful figures in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Upon seeing this, Lei Houjun snorted coldly. His already imposing body rapidly transformed, with violent lightning spreading across his body. His head took on a beast-like shape, and his purple skin appeared to be stained by lightning.
This is one of the progenitors of the zombie lineage of Thunder Corpse.
The legendary [Thunder Hou] is said to possess the bloodline of a true spirit!
certainly.
He is far from reaching that level; he only possesses some of the might of the Thunder Hou. It is an anomaly that he could succeed in cultivating the techniques and supernatural powers of a zombie while in human form.
Rarity and uncommonness do not necessarily equate to strength.
But the number of powerful individuals must be very small.
Lei Houjun is an extremely powerful individual, whose combat strength is almost invincible among those in the same realm, and he can gain the upper hand in any fight.
At this moment.
Thunder roared, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a violent and fierce ocean of thunder suddenly descended upon the world, with endless lightning flashing as it impacted the temporary array formed by the Buried Bone Curse Sword.
The cultivators of Huangquan Temple would not stand idly by and watch their opponent break through.
One after another, the Nascent Soul experts began to take action, seeking out opponents of similar strength to fight, and a chaotic battle inexplicably ensued.
Among them, the Three Corpse Taoist's fighting style is the most unique.
He possesses the three corpses of Heaven, Earth, and Man, which are said to be zombies created using a special secret method. They are both a different species and a special kind of clone.
Even if his three corpses are destroyed, as long as one of them survives, he can be reforged. In other words, he has three lives!
However, these are all reasonable speculations and conjectures made by outsiders based on what has already happened.
He never revealed his specific background.
Legend has it that once, all three of his corpses perished, and after only sixty years of silence, the Three Corpse Daoist was reborn. Even the Heavenly Corpse Peak had no successor to his secret technique.
He obtained it himself from some ruins and did not offer it to the sect.
At this moment, the Three Corpse Daoist's opponent was another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yellow Springs Temple—the Filthy Daoist!
This person is not famous, but has very distinctive physical features.
Extremely ugly!
Aside from his strikingly distinctive facial features, he seems to have no other noteworthy abilities, but it is precisely this misconception that gives the outside world the impression he has.
The strange and bizarre abilities of the wicked Taoist were greatly overlooked.
He brought the unclean aspect of the supernatural powers inherited from the Yellow Springs Temple to its extreme. While other Yellow Springs supernatural powers could be dealt with simply by avoiding contact with magical treasures.
The methods of the filthy Taoist are like those of a mortal wielding a mop covered in excrement. There's nothing to defend against them, and just looking at them evokes a sense of disgust, as if one's features are contorted in a grimace.
"That's disgusting."
Against the backdrop of the sea of thunder, the filthy Taoist's body was oozing a foul-smelling mud that resembled a yellowish-white substance. This was actually a highly concentrated product of the turbid flow of the Yellow Springs.
It produced a foul odor due to the incorporation of poison techniques.
The Three Corpse Taoist's face turned green.
"Where did this filth come from?"
He was cursing and swearing, but his actions were incredibly ruthless.
At this moment, his body belonged to the Heavenly Corpse, possessing the powerful supernatural ability to control celestial phenomena. Combined with the sea of thunder summoned by Lei Houjun, they actually formed a synergy.
Thunder rumbled down, and a vortex of weather whipped up a storm, transforming into giant, azure serpents. Amidst the scraping of thunder and storm, the wicked Taoist was like a potato being blended in a mixer.
Covered in foul-smelling mud, it was swept into the sky and flung in an unknown direction. Lightning struck it, turning its entire body black and emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
They were at a disadvantage from the very first encounter.
Seeing this, Di Mingzi summoned a magical weapon resembling a long mace. With a flick of his wrist, it transformed into an endless long whip, cracking so hard that even space itself rippled.
After a thunderous roar, the target of the attack was none other than the Three Corpse Daoist. The Ice Soul Fairy would not stand idly by, and her natal magic weapon, the Ice Soul Pearl, suddenly flew out.
The icy divine light, imbued with the power of extreme cold, transformed into a bolt of silk.
They managed to intercept the attack of the precious mace. The aftershocks of the battle between the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators spread far and wide, damaging the restrictions on many buildings in the palace and causing a large number of buildings to collapse.
This alarmed the largest number of guards in the palace.
—The Azure Lion Stone Puppet!
Wang Yu had studied these stone golems before and discovered that they had an extremely strong resistance to the magic power of cultivators, and that destroying them by brute force was the best way.
At this moment, the commotion was so great that almost half of the palace's stone lions gathered there, so densely packed that a single glance could frighten away ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
At that time.
The Burial Bone Curse Sword Formation, which had held for five or six breaths, was crushed by Lei Houjun's Thunder Sea Divine Power. Only then did the Nascent Soul cultivators in the midst of the fierce battle realize that the Azure Lion Stone Puppets were attacking them.
They all gasped in surprise.
"What is this thing..."
The stone golems lack intelligence and have only one thought in their minds: to kill all intruders.
A Nascent Soul cultivator from Huangquan Temple, affected by the sea of lightning, accidentally retreated a bit too far and was then surrounded by these suddenly appearing Azure Lion Stone Puppets.
A cold and stern look involuntarily appeared on his face.
"You pieces of trash dare to offend my dignity!"
He immediately struck out with a palm.
Then, to his astonishment, he discovered that the Green Lion Stone Golems completely ignored his attack, leaping out of the palm print one after another without being affected at all.
When the Blue Lion Stone Golem's huge mouth bit into his body.
He was shocked to realize that their mouths contained sealing restrictions. Their stone teeth shattered the protective magic energy, and the moment they entered his flesh, he could no longer feel that part of his body.
Just as he was about to escape the encirclement using his escape technique, he discovered that more Green Lion Stone Golems were closing in, leaving no gaps, and he had to change his tactics.
When he unleashed his natal magic weapon in an attempt to knock away the stone golems, it was too late. He was almost overwhelmed by the stone golems and disappeared into the corner in an instant.
Even the traces of the Nascent Soul were not left behind.
He died instantly!
The others were taken aback, never expecting that the blue lion stone sculptures that could be seen everywhere in the palace would have such power.
I'll post the first chapter, and then write the second one tonight.
