Chapter 505: After Modification: Chapter 504 Dominant Crushing
Bai Ziyue had always lived by his own standards for judgment.
Although Feiyun Ascendant had threatened him several times, he hadn’t actually made a move, so Bai Ziyue merely took his storage bag as a mild warning.
But Master Earth Spirit had harbored ill intentions from beginning to end, and later even attacked him directly by using a Body-Stabilizing Talisman to make him face the Single-horned Kui Ox of the Mid-stage Divine Realm. Given the level of strength Bai Ziyue had displayed at the time, anyone else would’ve nearly faced certain death. Naturally, he wouldn’t let it go.
“Now that this is settled, it’s time for me to act on my own and find the Single-horned Kui Ox King.”
Bai Ziyue moved like lightning, darting across the ground like light smoke.
Alongside his use of the Spirit Concealment Technique, which was a fusion of numerous stealth and invisibility techniques, even if he passed within tens of meters of some demon beasts, they would find it difficult to detect his presence.
His prior search hadn’t been fruitless; at the very least, he had identified the center of those Single-horned Kui Ox herds.
From his assessment of the demon beasts, the Single-horned Kui Ox King would usually reside at the middle position of its group.
So, very soon, he spotted another Single-horned Kui Ox, and following its location, he discovered quite a number of these Great Demons.
Without hesitation, he moved like lightning and charged straight toward them.
…
“Big brother, isn’t what we’re doing too risky?
One misstep, and it’ll be an irreparable disaster.”
In a place where the poisonous miasma was densest, two figures shrouded in black mist began communicating telepathically.
“Fortune favors the bold. For us loose cultivators, every opportunity, every gain, must be sought on our own.
Since we brothers discovered this chance, we must fight for it with all our might.
Don’t you want that Flood Dragon Egg?
The value of that thing is something you should know even without me telling you.
For this success in stealing the Flood Dragon Egg, we’ve prepared so much, spending all our savings just on buying dozens of Antitoxic Pills.
Do you want our nearly half-year’s preparation to go to waste?”
The other couldn’t help but reprimand.
“But I’ve heard that the Poison Dragon in the poisonous miasma marsh is about to form its core…”
“We don’t need to confront it directly. As long as the plan is right, we grab the item and leave. Just get a hundred miles away from this place, and even if it has heaven-defying methods, it can’t catch us.
Moreover, you must have also heard the commotion outside. Clearly, someone is hunting that group of Single-horned Kui Oxen.
When the time comes, we can deflect the trouble their way, making our escape even smoother.”
“Then I’ll follow big brother’s lead.”
The other one gritted his teeth, unable to resist the huge temptation, and ultimately agreed.
…
“Found it, the Single-horned Kui Ox King.
It should be at the Late-stage Divine Realm. Given the combat prowess demonstrated by ordinary Single-horned Kui Oxen, its actual strength must be at the Five-star or even Six-star Divine Realm level, and calculating by attack power, its combat strength could even soar to the Seven-star Divine Realm level.
Not to mention, beside it are three Mid-stage Divine Realm and twelve Early-stage Divine Realm Single-horned Kui Oxen in the herd.
Indeed, hunting it is extremely difficult.
No wonder the Nine-star Daoist Palace would award it directly with a Four-star Divine Order.
Because it’s simply beyond what an ordinary cultivator can handle.”
*Bai Ziyue gazed at the towering Single-horned Kui Ox in the distance, standing out like a crane among chickens, along with the dozen smaller but still robust Single-horned Kui Oxen around it, silently analyzing.*
“However, to me, it makes little difference.”
Bai Ziyue narrowed his eyes, lifted his foot, and took a step forward.
With just one step, he crossed several hundred feet, as if there was a direct bridge between the two points, moving with unparalleled speed.
After the first step, he took another, and in almost an instant, he was within several hundred feet of the Single-horned Kui Oxen herd.
“Moo!” “Moo!” “Moo!”
Bai Ziyue’s presence became apparent and nearly immediately startled all the Single-horned Kui Oxen. They let out earth-shattering roars, and a network of colossal lightning bolts, resonating with heavenly power, almost instantaneously struck toward Bai Ziyue with breathtaking speed.
Especially the lightning emitted by the Single-horned Kui Ox King, entirely purple and immensely powerful, descending like a celestial tribulation, filled with a terrifying force that seemed capable of annihilating everything.
“Beiming Sword, One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques.”
Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, and a flying sword slashed through the sky.
Simultaneously, a spirit light flashed across him, and a Seven-Colored Spiritual Light descended upon him in an instant, imbued with a holiness and transcendence as if an immortal had come to the mortal realm.
Rumble!
The endless Power of Thunder swiftly descended upon Bai Ziyue.
Yet, even if the thunder could destroy everything, it failed to shake the seven-colored rainbow light covering him in the slightest, all blocked outside.
In contrast, his flying sword twisted and spun, flashing like a meteor, racing toward the Single-horned Kui Ox King.
“Moo…”
The Single-horned Kui Ox King roared in alarm and hurriedly spat out its demon core.
The pale purple demon core, exuding a strong aura, swiftly smashed towards the flying sword.
At that moment, it too was fighting with all its might.
“Ding!”
A crisp sound resonated as the Demon Core clashed with the Flying Sword.
The incredibly sturdy Demon Core, which carried the endless demonic power of the Single-horned Kui Ox King, didn’t hinder for a moment. The Flying Sword pierced through it like a hot knife through butter, shattering it to pieces before swiftly embedding itself in its head.
Poof!
“Soul Energy +1245255.”
The Single-horned Kui Ox King perished instantly.
All the surrounding Single-horned Kui Oxen were struck with fear.
Their king was dead?
But soon, they were all enraged.
The Single-horned Kui Oxen were extremely frenzied special demon beasts and once they entered battle, they would fight to the death.
An even more violent and immense Power of Thunder than before began striking viciously at Bai Ziyue.
Each of their bodies transformed into scorching streaks of light, aiming their enormous horns at him in a fierce charge.
“Courting death.”
Bai Ziyue’s expression didn’t change. Just as he was about to unleash the Immortal Martial Hand Seal and Silent Extinction Divine Light to annihilate them, he suddenly thought of the Great Divine Techniques he had been cultivating for some time, nearing Entry Level.
With a thought, a Flying Sword shot out.
In an instant, it transformed into five astonishing sword lights, flashing like massive pillars reaching the sky, crashing down from the nine heavens above.
Rumble!
The five sword lights, like five heavenly pillars, directly confined a dozen Single-horned Kui Oxen in a sword-shaped cage.
Great Divine Technique, Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword!
However, at this moment, countless streaks of the Power of Thunder also shot out, fiercely landing on the sword-shaped cage, causing it to tremble violently, on the brink of collapse.
Although the power of this Great Divine Technique was strong, it hadn’t genuinely reached Entry Level, and its actual power was limited.
As Bai Ziyue unleashed the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword, another Great Divine Technique was also rapidly executed by him.
Hiss~! Hiss~! Hiss~!
The void trembled and the ground became unstable. A black, thread-like Profound Light swiftly shot out with a slight wave of Bai Ziyue’s hand.
Buzzing…
It was extraordinarily fast, slicing through everything in a flash.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Amidst a series of wails, at least seven or eight Single-horned Kui Oxen were instantly sliced in two.
“Is this the power of the Great Divine Technique, Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting? Indeed, it’s powerful.”
Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed, and a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.
Even though the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting hadn’t reached Entry Level, it was at 93% of uninitiated, but its single attack was already comparable to the full-force strike of a Late-stage Divine Realm Cultivator.
With such power, it was naturally not something that a group of Single-horned Kui Oxen at most of Mid-stage Divine Realm Level could withstand.
At this moment, he truly looked forward to the power of this Great Divine Technique once it reached Entry Level, or even when he advanced it to Perfection.
“Moo!”
The Single-horned Kui Oxen let out despairing and resolute roars, with streaks of the Power of Thunder surging forth, finally shattering the sword-shaped cage formed by the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword.
But what awaited them was the second, third wave of Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting…
Soon, all the Single-horned Kui Oxen were completely slaughtered by him.
“Soul Energy +462063, +582123, +753213, 505216…”
As a vast amount of Soul Energy flashed past, Bai Ziyue hurriedly controlled his Flying Sword to swiftly spin and extract each horn, storing them all in his Storage Bag.
As for the blood and flesh materials on the ground, since he had plenty of Storage Bags on him, he wasn’t picky and put them all inside.
A final burst of five-colored flames erased the traces of the battle.
“With this, the number of horns I have, plus the one from the Single-horned Kui Ox King and the two I obtained in previous battles, totals eighteen.
That truly isn’t a small number.”
Bai Ziyue calculated in his mind, a satisfied gleam in his eyes.
Moreover, it was worth mentioning that the greatest gain, as he saw it, was in terms of Soul Energy.
Just this wave alone had increased his Soul Energy by over ten million points, not to mention there were other strong contenders conducting hunts around as well.
As he glanced at his Attribute Panel, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his Soul Energy had already reached as much as twenty-five million points. He estimated it wouldn’t be long before it surpassed thirty million.
This was truly a great harvest.
“Roar!”
Just at that moment, a colossal roar swiftly echoed.
The roar shook the void, resounding for miles around, like the detonation of thunder, terrifying beyond measure.
Simultaneously, a formidable and unmatched aura immediately surged from afar, expanding in a mighty wave in all directions.
“Is this the poisonous flood dragon that Master Earth Spirit mentioned earlier?”
Bai Ziyue’s expression changed.
Although this aura wasn’t at the level of the Golden Core Realm, it already surpassed the strength of Master Fushui, who had long reached the Peak of Divine Realm and was said to possess the strength of the Nine-star Divine Realm.
