Chapter 503: Chapter 502: Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Technique
"It worked,
The Blood Oath Talisman or Magic was essentially a transformation of the Curse Killing Technique, not much different from the Curse Killing Technique, Spirit Shattering Technique, Corpse Destruction Technique, and Divine Destruction Technique I had cultivated back then,
*By deducing it backward, it naturally became relatively easy and simple.*
This method of breaking the curse, although not a Divine Technique, could easily handle a Curse Killing Technique sealed within a talisman,
*If it proves useful in the future, I can spend time upgrading it to a Divine Technique level.*
Hence, this Magic shall be named the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Technique."
Bai Ziyue thought silently and quickly saw a new Magic appear on his Attribute Panel,
which was exactly the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Technique.
Yet, everyone around, including the Likes of Master Panshan at the Late-stage Divine Realm, had no idea that Bai Ziyue, in just half an hour, had silently created a powerful Magic capable of breaking oath-related curses.
...
A day and a night later, they finally arrived at their destination, the Celestial Demon Territory.
Rumble!
The warship suddenly stopped and slowly descended.
"This is just the periphery of the Celestial Demon Territory, about a hundred miles further in lies the poisonous miasma marsh, where the Single-horned Kui Ox resides,
Master Panshan said standing on the warship, "In the Celestial Demon Territory, although the number of Demon Beasts is not as vast as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is still a place where Demon Beasts gather. Besides the Single-horned Kui Ox, other Demon Beasts will appear as well.
All of you need to be careful, for slaughter can occur at any time,
We will wait here for you. If anyone obtains the horn of the Single-horned Kui Ox, you may return to the warship."
Everyone was somewhat silent, their faces solemn,
The Single-horned Kui Ox, along with other Demon Beasts, presented numerous threats, making the assessment challenge feel immensely pressure-laden.
"Let’s go,"
With a signal, a total of fifteen cultivators participating in the assessment disembarked from the warship, some moving alone and fearlessly due to their high skill and courage, immediately darting toward the depths of the Celestial Demon Territory.
The others moved in groups of two or three, using methods to conceal their presence. At the very least, they stuck Invisibility Talismans on themselves, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Feiyun Ascendant glanced at Bai Ziyue and Master Earth Spirit with a mocking smile, saying, "I’ll deal with you after I’ve killed a Single-horned Kui Ox."
With that, he didn’t linger and followed another burly cultivator, quickly charging toward the depths of the Celestial Demon Territory.
"Let’s first sign the Heart Demon Blood Oath Talisman,"
Master Earth Spirit’s face looked quite displeased but he didn’t forget their previous agreement and quickly spoke.
"Alright."
Bai Ziyue nodded,
then saw Master Earth Spirit tear open a blood-red Spirit Talisman. In an instant, a ray of blood light divided into two, swiftly entering their bodies.
"Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Technique!"
At the moment the blood light entered Bai Ziyue’s body, he, being prepared, activated his thoughts. In silence, a special spirit light enveloped the blood light and in an instant refined it to dust.
Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, knowing that the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Technique had worked. He then turned his gaze to Master Earth Spirit, who at this moment also smiled warmly, saying, "Let’s go then."
Only then did the two of them employ Breath Concealing Techniques, heading toward the depths of the Celestial Demon Territory.
...
As they crossed through the forest outskirts, spanning dozens of miles, the trees soon became sparse, with miasma starting to emanate, and various poisonous creatures appearing one after another.
The air was dim and the ground dark, resembling the Land of the Underworld, where occasionally black shrubs grew, yet none of them bore green leaves, either jet-black or bare.
But people could still sense vitality within them.
The two walked its path, their Divine Thought Power suppressed; originally capable of perceiving within a dozen miles, now shrank to a tenth, barely able to probe into the five to six hundred-meter range. Occasionally, they could notice poisonous Demons hidden in the darkness.
Bai Ziyue and Master Earth Spirit were both powerful warriors above the Divine Realm, indifferent to such toxins, moving at great Speed. Occasionally, when a few Demon Beasts couldn’t restrain themselves and attacked, they were easily slain by the duo.
"This is the poisonous miasma marsh of the Celestial Demon Territory, where the Single-horned Kui Ox resides in its depths,
However, despite the prevalent toxins, this is indeed a treasure land,
I haven’t been here before but I’ve heard that people have found the poisonous burial flower, Holy Spirit Grass, and other Fourth-Grade Spiritual Materials here,
Of course, there are also many dangers. There is said to be a Golden Core Realm True Monarch in the depths of the Celestial Demon Territory, while in this poisonous miasma marsh, there is a poisonous flood dragon with over a thousand years of cultivation, not far from Core Formation,
so we must be careful,"
Master Earth Spirit said cautiously.
Bai Ziyue nodded, *The existence of someone above the Golden Core Realm was something he would not provoke, no matter how confident he was,*
As for the poisonous flood dragon, since it was nearing Core Formation, considering that such beasts naturally had powerful bloodlines and strong Power, it must have the strength of a Nine-star Divine Realm, or even half-step Golden Core Realm.
*With such an existence, he certainly wouldn’t make unnecessary trouble.*
His goal for this journey was simple, intending only to pass the assessment challenge and gain Soul Energy,
*Unlike Master Earth Spirit and others who only aimed for an ordinary Single-horned Kui Ox, his target from the beginning had been the Single-horned Kui Ox King.*
Since he had the opportunity to directly obtain the Four-star Divine Order, he naturally would not let it go.
"Fortunately, our goal is only the Single-horned Kui Ox.
However, we cannot be careless.
This Single-horned Kui Ox is a special thunder attribute Demon Beast, born with a single horn and one foot. Don’t be fooled by its single foot; its speed was by no means slow.
Moreover, they were born as thunder attribute Great Demons, with very strong attack power. Even a Single-horned Kui Ox at the Early-stage Divine Realm was estimated to be able to unleash an attack comparable to a full-strength strike by a Mid-stage Cultivator.
Fortunately, although they were social creatures, they generally went out alone to forage. If we carefully observed and waited, we should encounter them when they were alone.
By the way, Fellow Daoist Beiming, how is your defense against Thunder Skills?
Later, once we make a move, I will first use the Body-Stabilizing Talisman to immobilize it. As long as you can withstand two attacks from the Single-horned Kui Ox, I have confidence in slaying it."
Immediately following, Master Earth Spirit’s eyes flashed, and he transmitted his voice.
"I’ll give it a try."
Bai Ziyue glanced at the other person and nodded in agreement.
Given the explanation from the other party and just using him to block the Single-horned Kui Ox’s attack, he indeed did not mind too much.
"Moo!"
Just at this moment, a loud roar of an ox suddenly echoed.
"It’s the sound of the Single-horned Kui Ox."
Master Earth Spirit growled lowly, quickly rushing towards the source of the sound.
Bai Ziyue followed closely, effortlessly casting the Great Cave Observation Technique.
Even though the poisonous miasma filled the air, the observation range of the Great Cave Observation Technique still far exceeded that of his Divine Thought investigation, so soon, he ’saw’ the figure of the Single-horned Kui Ox.
This Single-horned Kui Ox had a single golden-colored horn, its entire body was pale gray, resembling an ox in appearance, but only standing on one single foot.
At this time, two Buddhist Cultivators, with bald heads and monk robes, were each acting; a round mirror covered the top, fixing the Single-horned Kui Ox in place, while the other person spoke holy words, transforming into golden talismans that fell into the Single-horned Kui Ox’s head.
The originally manic and roaring Single-horned Kui Ox, with lightning scattered everywhere, gradually calmed down with the erosion of the golden talismans. Then, without even issuing a counterattack, it was brutally struck and killed by a Buddha’s Alms Bowl thrown by one of the Buddhist Cultivators.
"It’s those two Buddhist Cultivators, very strong."
When Master Earth Spirit approached, he finally discovered the tracks of those two Buddhist Cultivators, his expression changed, and he transmitted sound.
"Not weak indeed."
Bai Ziyue nodded, especially the method of liberating the Single-horned Kui Ox, it should be a Buddhist True Words Divine Technique, and it indeed had its unique aspects.
"I advise you to leave, or don’t blame Lord Buddha for being unsparing."
Having slain a Single-horned Kui Ox, one of the Buddhist Cultivators let a trace of golden light flash in his eyes, sweeping towards the surroundings, sneering as he spoke.
"Leave, they are not to be provoked."
Master Earth Spirit hissed lowly, quickly retreating far away.
Bai Ziyue saw this and did not say much, likewise drifting away.
Half an hour later.
"There is a solitary Single-horned Kui Ox ahead, let’s proceed according to plan. We must block its attacks, or else we will be in danger."
Master Earth Spirit pointed towards a Single-horned Kui Ox ahead and quickly said.
Of course, Bai Ziyue first noticed that Single-horned Kui Ox, it happened to be at the Early-stage Divine Realm.
But he also noticed that, two thousand meters away from this Single-horned Kui Ox, there were two other Single-horned Kui Ox wandering around, with one of them having reached the Mid-stage Divine Realm level. Once commotion was triggered here, they would surely rush over immediately.
"Rest assured."
However, Bai Ziyue wasn’t concerned, he simply responded, and then took out a spirit vine shield armor at the Middle-grade Treasure Level.
"Great, I didn’t expect that you would have a piece of Middle-grade Defensive Dharma Treasure, which greatly increases our safety."
Master Earth Spirit’s eyes lit up, his Divine Thought moved, and he quickly tossed out a copper ring.
Whoosh whoosh~!
The copper ring expanded rapidly in the wind, its speed was extremely fast, falling upon the head of the Single-horned Kui Ox in a blink.
"Buzz!"
Capped below.
Fizz fizz fizz...
The copper ring quickly contracted, directly restraining the Single-horned Kui Ox within the copper ring.
"Moo!"
The Single-horned Kui Ox immediately issued a panicked roar, its power surged violently, and terrifying thunder energy ran wild on its body, falling upon the copper ring, causing the copper ring to sizzle.
Though the copper ring seemed unstable, it continued to fulfill its function, and it could not break free for the time being.
In a furious rage, its gaze immediately locked onto Bai Ziyue and the others, almost instantaneously, a light purple thunderbolt full of destructive power emanated from its horn.
Crack!
