Chapter 176 Taotie Sword, a fierce soldier from the three realms
[Name: Fierce Beast Dao Fruit (Taotie)]
[Type: Special Item]
[Effect: A special fruit that contains the power of the ancient fierce beast, Taotie. After taking it, you can obtain Taotie blood and awaken a special fate. It can also be integrated into a matching magic weapon to serve as a weapon soul and forge an ancient fierce weapon.]
[Side effects: After use, it is easy to be affected by gluttonous greed]
"Brother Lu, I got it done!"
Not long after Lu Chen completely imprisoned Taotie.
Di Ting hurriedly ran to Lu Chen to take credit.
I saw that the four seals around me had been completely repaired by Di Ting using his innate nine qi.
With this seal formation in place, as long as no one else comes to destroy it.
Taotie won't be able to come out again in the short term.
But this was also because Lu Chen had completely suppressed Taotie before.
It has no energy to care about Di Ting.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Di Ting to repair the Four Symbols Seal.
After hearing Di Ting's words, Lu Chen touched Di Ting's head and praised him: "Well, you have worked hard."
Di Ting held up his furry head and said proudly, "Small problem, I am the great leader of the Haoyue Wangwang Sect!"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Di Ting suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, do you think that we have worked so hard to seal the beast Taotie? Is this considered a great achievement?"
Lu Chen was stunned, not quite understanding why Di Ting said that.
So he asked curiously, "The Four Evils are the beasts of troubled times. If what you said before is correct, then it would be a great achievement for us to seal them."
"What's wrong? Is there something you want to get from the Shanhai Division?"
Di Ting scratched his ear and said in a slightly flattering tone, "That's right, Brother Lu. Do you think I can get a small official position from the imperial court based on my merits this time?"
Appoint an official?
Lu Chen looked at the little white dog Di Ting and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Because if the Shanhaisi really gave it an official position because of this.
Wouldn't that make it a real dog official?
This "dog official" is not an adjective, but a real noun.
With some curiosity, Lu Chen asked: "Di Ting, why do you want to be an official so much?"
Di Ting replied: "I am afraid of being bullied by other strange beasts. I thought that I must not let others bully me when I go out."
"If the imperial court can give me an official title, then I will have the imperial court as my backer in the future. If others dare to bully me, I will ask the imperial court for help!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen looked weird.
I want to laugh, but it's hard to laugh.
Because of the experience of gathering Di Ting and its special way of practicing.
Lu Chen felt that if it got out, it would really offend a lot of people.
It’s a pity that it has never had any contact with other cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm before, and its understanding of the outside world is still stuck in the ancient times, lacking a clear understanding.
The imperial court?
This kind of feudal dregs has long disappeared! So Lu Chen looked at Di Ting who was looking at him expectantly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I can't say for sure about being an official. After all, the human world at the moment may be a little different from what you think."
"So I can't give you an accurate answer as to whether a mountain and sea beast like you can be an official."
"But if you insist, you can discuss it with the monks of the Mountain and Sea Division. I think they will give you a satisfactory answer."
Hearing this, Di Ting nodded a little disappointedly.
After all, it heard the evasion in Lu Chen's tone.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to get this official position.
However, its disappointment did not last long and it quickly recovered.
Because it suddenly remembered that Lu Chen, who had signed a contract with it, was a ruthless character who could even suppress ferocious creatures like Taotie.
Following such a ruthless guy, it will be able to act arrogantly wherever it goes in the future and take advantage of the power of its owner to its heart's content!
As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner! My master Lu Chen is here, who dares to touch me!
Following such a master, his future... is bright! Thinking of this, Di Ting suddenly punched the air twice, shouting one word in his heart... Awesome!
Looking at Di Ting who was suddenly going crazy with joy beside him, Lu Chen's face was full of question marks.
That is to say, his current mastery of the 'Nine Innate Qi' is not enough, and he cannot use the Nine Innate Qi to hear other people's voices.
Otherwise, he would be speechless at Di Ting's inner thoughts at this moment.
After all, how could you start imagining that you will be beaten before the monster even comes out?
Your paranoia is really quite serious.
As for Di Ting who was already having an orgasm in his brain, Lu Chen shook his head and ignored her for the time being.
Because he needed to think carefully about how to use the 'Fierce Beast Dao Fruit (Taotie)' he had just obtained.
Generally speaking, the best way to use this Taoist fruit is undoubtedly to take it yourself.
Because this means that Lu Chen can obtain the terrifying devouring ability of Taotie.
Don’t think that Taotie was suppressed by Lu Chen the whole time.
But this was because Lu Chen had obtained a lot of information about Taotie through Di Ting and the Three-legged Golden Crow before coming.
So a tactic was developed to completely restrain it.
If someone else came over, even if the other person's cultivation level was higher than Taotie.
But as long as the opponent is unable to kill Taotie in one go, or his cultivation is not strong enough to suppress Taotie directly.
The Taotie’s recovery speed cannot keep up with the damage caused by the monks.
The magic skills of ordinary cultivators will not have any effect on Taotie.
It can even become nutrients that help Taotie become stronger and promote its growth.
In this respect, Taotie is like an enhanced version of Mu Xiaoye.
After all, if Mu Xiaoye wants to absorb vitality, the most important thing is to let her Phoenix Fire burn the enemy's body.
If it only burns the enemy's magic power, as long as the opponent cuts off this part of the spiritual power, Mu Xiaoye can only make the opponent waste a lot of spiritual power at best, but will not be able to borrow the enemy's spiritual power to recover himself.
But Taotie is different, whether it is magic skills or magic weapons.
As long as they are eaten by Taotie, they can all be transformed into nutrients for it to become stronger.
Extremely greedy and domineering.
Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary cultivators to deal with such ancient ferocious beasts.
That is to say, Lu Chen has enough methods, and he just comprehended the Sword Realm: Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood not long ago.
This special sword domain is very effective in restraining ferocious beasts.
Otherwise, he might have no choice but to run away with Mu Xiaoye.
However, although Lu Chen was very envious of Taotie's fate of swallowing the sky and eating the earth.
But considering the ferocious nature of Taotie itself, Lu Chen felt that taking this Tao fruit was definitely not a good choice.
It is true that Lu Chen pursues power, but he will not become a slave to power.
He will not lose himself in the blind pursuit of power.
Besides, Lu Chen had a feeling that if he took this Tao fruit.
That's the terrifying greedy desire of Taotie.
Then you may be affected by it unconsciously.
It is hard to say whether I will be controlling the power of Taotie or Taotie will be controlling me at that time.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chen decisively ruled out the option of taking it.
In this case, the only choice before Lu Chen is to integrate it into the magic weapon.
It just so happened that Lu Chen had a very suitable second-level spiritual treasure in his hand, the Bloodthirsty Spirit Sword, which could be fused with the fierce beast's Dao Fruit.
Besides, the benefits of doing so are far greater for Lu Chen than using it himself.
Because using the Taotie's beast fruit to upgrade magic weapons can not only increase the power of magic weapons.
The biggest benefit is actually that it allows him to obtain a new third-level spiritual sword in advance.
And use it as the core spiritual sword of the 'Sword Formation of Killing Immortals'.
The sword domain of the Hedao realm, the spiritual sword above the third realm.
Only when these two conditions are met at the same time can the core conditions of the four sub-arrays in the "Zhu Xian Sword Array" be achieved.
The greatest benefit of using the sword formation for Lu Chen is that it allows him to perform multiple sword domains at the same time.
You must know that although Lu Chen now masters both the 'Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain' and the 'Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Sword Domain'.
But at the moment he was unable to maintain the operation of these two sword domains at the same time.
Only one sword domain can be used at a time.
But it would be different if there was a matching three-realm spiritual sword.
Because although Lu Chen has the third-level spiritual sword, Mo Long, Mo Long and the Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain are not compatible.
It is impossible to become the core of the 'Xianqie Sword Formation' represented by the Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain.
Unfortunately, the Shangqingyun Sword, which is suitable for the 'Xianqi Sword Formation', is only at the second level.
This resulted in Lu Chen being in the situation where he only had the Hedao Realm Sword Domain and the Third Realm Spirit Sword, but was unable to perform a true sword formation.
But if the bloodthirsty spirit sword can be upgraded to the third level, the result will be completely different.
Because the bloodthirsty spirit sword and the mountain of corpses and sea of blood are highly compatible.
He could use the Bloodthirsty Spirit Sword as the core and use the sword formation to perform the Sword Domain: Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
At that time, he can also use the two sword domains of 'Haoran Qinglian' and 'Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood' at the same time in the process.
Although Lu Chen had no idea what the superimposed effect of the two sword domains would be.
But even if it's just the effect of '1+1=2', it will definitely become one of his strongest trump cards.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen quickly made a decision.
He took out his bloodthirsty spirit sword, and then took out the Dao Fruit (Taotie) of a ferocious beast that looked like a vertical eye.
Under Di Ting's surprised eyes, Lu Chen combined the two into one.
The next second, the bloodthirsty spirit sword seemed to be injected with a soul and began to shake continuously.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying murderous aura was released from the bloodthirsty spirit sword.
Even the appearance of the spirit sword has undergone significant changes.
The bloodthirsty sword changed from its previous dark red color like dried blood to bright red.
And the color change is not the key.
The most critical part is the connection between the hilt and the blade of the Bloodthirsty Spirit Sword.
I saw a strange vertical eye slowly growing out at this position.
And this eye looks exactly the same as the previous Taotie.
In other words, it is the source of Taotie's power...the eye under the armpit.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of the vicious aura of Taotie.
The 'Bloodthirsty Spirit Sword', whose weapon soul had just been born, seemed very agitated.
Lu Chen could feel the strong desire to devour it just by looking at it.
This desire even made it target Lu Chen, the creator who gave birth to it.
In this situation, it is no longer appropriate to describe it as a bloodthirsty spirit sword.
Its real name should be "Taotie vicious soldiers".
Evil soldiers, this is the exclusive name for those special spiritual treasures.
These spiritual treasures are different from normal spiritual treasures. For various reasons, they all have the attribute of devouring their masters, or have huge side effects.
A special spiritual treasure that cultivators both love and hate.
In a sense, the ancient magic weapon is also a dangerous weapon.
But the ancient magic weapons that Lu Chen had encountered before were obviously not on the same level as the gluttonous beast in front of him.
However, the real Taotie were suppressed by Lu Chen, let alone a few spiritual treasures.
Therefore, facing these vicious Taotie soldiers who were about to rebel, Lu Chen immediately snorted coldly.
Immediately afterwards, the horrific sea of corpses and blood appeared around Lu Chen again.
Seeing this scene, the Taotie warrior seemed to have recalled some bad memories.
It immediately stopped in mid-air and began to tremble.
Although it was just a spiritual sword, both Lu Chen and Di Ting saw the undisguised fear in it.
With just a single strike, Lu Chen completely subdued this brutal ancient weapon.
"come over."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the Taotie soldiers flew in front of Lu Chen tremblingly.
Lu Chen held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and its function quickly emerged in his mind.
[Name: Taotie Fierce Soldiers]
[Rank: Third Realm Spiritual Treasure]
[Effect 1. Swallow the Sky: Can swallow all the magic, supernatural powers, magic weapons, etc. that it touches, and feed them back to the user]
[Effect 2. Earth-eating: When used, it can greatly increase the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth]
[Special Effect: Greed and Cruelty: You can continuously improve the rank of your evil weapon by devouring natural treasures, monks and living beings.]
[Side Effect: The Taotie Soul has an extremely strong greed. If its greed cannot be satisfied, it will be attacked by the evil soldiers.]
The effect of the Taotie evil soldier is almost the same as that of the evil beast Taotie.
The core effects all come from Taotie's special fate: swallowing the sky and eating the earth.
The method to upgrade this fierce soldier is also very simple.
That is to provide it with enough 'food'.
But Lu Chen was not planning to provide too much food to this ferocious soldier in the short term.
Because with his current strength, it is not difficult to suppress the vicious Taotie soldiers in the third realm.
But if the Taotie vicious soldiers reach the fourth level.
Then it won’t be so easy to suppress it again.
Besides, these three levels of fierce soldiers are enough for his use now.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately transformed the Taotie beast into a sword ball and put it into his storage bag.
Before putting the items into the storage bag, Lu Chen also warned the other party not to touch the items in his storage bag.
Although the Taotie evil soldiers were very envious of the elixirs and other rare treasures in Lu Chen's storage bag.
But out of fear of Lu Chen, it did not dare to resist Lu Chen's orders at all.
Don't be fooled by its obedience now. Once Lu Chen reveals a flaw, the rebellious nature of the vicious soldier will still be revealed.
This is a dangerous weapon, a double-edged sword for both yourself and the enemy.
However, Lu Chen also had some ideas in mind on how to completely solve this problem.
But this idea can only be implemented after he reaches the Jindan stage.
At the same time, shortly after Lu Chen dealt with Taotie.
Problems also occurred with the other four evil seals in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The place where the Four Evils, Taowu, were sealed.
"Xiao Gao, are you capable of this? How come the Shanhai Division asked you to look after a seal but you can't even do it properly? You are such a loser!"
In the valley where Taowu was sealed, a bloated creature that looked like neither a tiger nor a pig was complaining to Gao Riping, the chief envoy of the Shanhai Division, who was paralyzed by three of the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Black Lotus Sect not far away.
Although Taowu has completely walked out of the sealed place.
But it did not leave immediately, but looked at the three Twelve Earthly Branches of the Black Lotus Sect not far away.
They are Rooster, Monkey and Dog among the twelve Earthly Branches.
Looking at the three people, Taowu's fat face showed a little impatience: "Hey, what's wrong with you three guys? Why did you let me out suddenly?"
Hearing this, Shen Hou and the others looked at each other, and You Ji stepped forward to answer, "Respected fierce beast Taowu, the three of us would like to invite you to join our Black Lotus Sect and work together to create an unparalleled great cause."
Hearing this, Taowu held up the phone in his hand, waved his paws, and said disdainfully: "What kind of bullshit Black Lotus Sect is this? Have you ever heard of it? How dare you talk to me about creating a great cause together?"
"Also, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Who told you that I'm unhappy here?"
"Go away, don't disturb me and Xiao Gao playing games."
As he spoke, Taowu walked to Gao Riping's side, and a drop of blood dripped from his finger and fell directly onto Gao Riping's body.
Gao Riping, who was originally dying, absorbed this drop of essence and blood.
Not only did it recover from his original injuries, but it also made his strength reach a higher level.
Seeing this scene, let alone the Rooster and others who are part of the Twelve Earthly Branches.
Even Gao Riping, the Chief of Shanhaisi, was a little surprised.
After all, before he came, he had heard that Taowu was different from other ferocious beasts.
Other ferocious beasts want to break out of the seal from time to time, but Taowu likes to stay here.
This is because Shanhaisi has reached some kind of agreement with Taowu.
Not only did it have people send it large amounts of snacks on a regular basis, but it also had many game consoles and other computer products from the outside world sent to its sealed place.
Taowu had so much fun playing with these things that he never thought of leaving.
In addition, Taowu would occasionally let the guards outside play with it.
It doesn't look like a ferocious beast at all.
"Records of Strange Beasts in Mountains and Seas·Taowu": "Zhuanxu had a son who was incompetent and could not be taught. He did not know how to talk. He would become stubborn if he was told to, and would become mute if he was left alone. He was arrogant and cruel, and he disrupted the order of nature. The people of the world called him Taowu."
Although the four ancient evil beasts each have their own personalities, Taotie is greedy, Hunhun is disordered, Taowu is arrogant, and Qiongqi is extremely evil.
But if we have to choose a relatively better one from these four ferocious beasts, it must be Taowu.
The fundamental reason why it became one of the four evils is because of its inherent arrogance and its contempt for everyone.
To it, killing people or other living beings is no different than someone stepping on an ant on the ground.
But at first Taowu was just bored and did evil to pass the time.
After all, the four evil spirits were born and raised by the earth, and their lifespans are as long as that of the heaven and earth.
With such a long time, you have to find something to do.
But this doesn't mean that Taowu likes to do these things.
It just can't find anything else more fun to do.
But with the advancement of the times and technology, Taowu once discovered the game console played by the guardian of the sealed land at that time.
He became completely fascinated by this thing, and used it to reach an agreement with Shanhaisi.
As long as Shanhaisi can bring it these fun things, not only will it not go out, but it can also occasionally help Shanhaisi do something.
At first, Shanhaisi didn't believe what Taowu said.
But after a hundred years of testing, they discovered that what Taowu said was actually true.
In this way, Taowu slowly changed from one of the four ancient evil beasts to the current thousand-year-old homebody who never leaves the house and only likes to stay in the underground prison to play games.
go out?
It can't go out at all! There are delicious food and fun things here, why would it go out?
Times are progressing, and today's Taowu is no longer the ancient ferocious beast that was so arrogant that it treated the whole world as a toy.
Now it just wants to stay at home and play games! After seeing that Taowu didn't seem to want to leave with them, Youji and the others looked at each other and decided to start plan B.
That is to take Taowu away by force.
But now it seems that this matter may not be easy to handle.
Because they didn't expect that the first thing Taowu would do after coming out was to save Gao Riping, the 'guardian' with whom he had a mortal enemy.
Strange, so strange! This scene was completely different from what they had imagined.
When Taowu, who was standing by, saw that these three guys didn't leave, his eyes gradually turned cold.
It was playing the game happily, but it was already unhappy enough to be called out of the house.
Now these guys are not going to leave yet, are you giving them face? Do you really think that the name of the Four Evils is just a boast?
Looking at Youji and others who were still standing there, a terrifying aura emanated from Taowu.
"Not leaving? Then don't leave."
Feeling the aura of Taowu, Youji and others were surprised to find that... it was actually at the peak of the Golden Core Stage! Wasn't it said that the four evil spirits had been sealed for many years, and their cultivation had been suppressed to the lowest point?
Why is Taowu so special? Isn’t Shanhaisi afraid that it will run away?
"The situation has changed, let's go!"
Without any hesitation, Rooster turned around and ran away.
The other two also turned their heads at the first moment.
Taowu looked at the three of them and said arrogantly, "Want to leave now? It's too late!"
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying pressure completely enveloped the three of them...
