Chapter 507: Chapter 506: Revealing True Strength
Poof!
The flying sword struck directly at the claw of the poisonous flood dragon, piercing through it effortlessly as if shattering bamboo, and then continued with unabated force, fiercely hitting its abdomen, instantly knocking several scales off its body.
"Awooo!"
The poisonous flood dragon cried out in pain, and its long tail immediately turned into a bolt of lightning, lashing towards Bai Ziyue with a fierce swipe.
At the same time, clusters of inky black poisonous mist instantly spread out, eroding in all directions.
This poisonous mist seemed inherently unaffected by the defense spiritual light, directly invading Bai Ziyue’s seven-colored tribulation passage spirit light. As soon as he inhaled slightly, his mind became heavy.
*His heart tightened,* Bai Ziyue immediately swallowed an antidote pill, and his head felt light again.
This antidote pill was crafted by himself as a defensive item, so its grade was naturally extremely high, reaching third-grade super tier, and thus highly effective against all types of poison.
The poison employed by the flood dragon was strong, but as long as it did not exceed the third-grade limit, it could be countered by this antidote pill.
Then, Bai Ziyue stirred his thoughts, and a five-colored flame immediately transformed into a gigantic flame melting furnace, burning with abandon.
Not only did it incinerate the surrounding poisonous mist completely, but it also encompassed the massive body of the poisonous flood dragon entirely within the flame melting furnace.
"Awooo!"
The flood dragon cried out in pain again, its scales emanating layers of dim light as it desperately resisted the flames’ assault.
But the flame power of the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace was too strong, comparable to Golden Core True Fire. Despite its body being covered with scales and having formidable defense, it instantly felt its scales being melted away, with a large area of flesh turning to charcoal.
Enduring the pain, its long tail jerked violently, exerting all its strength to finally escape the range of the flames.
But it barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief when streaks of sword light suddenly bloomed, followed by five sword pillars shooting down, completely trapping it within a sword-shaped cage.
Simultaneously, a black fine line turned into a sharp beam, flickering quickly to slice across its head.
Scales fell in chunks, and it immediately felt waves of pain.
At this moment, Bai Ziyue was executing the Great Divine Power Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword and Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting.
These two great divine techniques struck consecutively, delivering a grim blow to the poisonous flood dragon.
"You’re seeking death, I want you dead!"
The flood dragon roared, its tail flicking, immediately shattering the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword. Then it roared wildly, opening its giant mouth wide.
"Pop!"
Immediately, a demon core as large as a sea bowl, entirely pitch-black, was spat out by it.
As the demon core emerged, a thick, foul, and extremely toxic odor instantly spread out. The flowers, trees, and shivering poisonous insects and exotic beasts nearby barely had time to react before their life force extinguished in the blink of an eye, utterly dead.
"Go!"
The flood dragon’s gaze was icy, immediately controlling the demon core, shooting it towards Bai Ziyue.
"I said I’m going to slay the flood dragon today."
Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged as his body trembled, and above his head appeared a giant phantom entirely formed by his own essence.
The giant human-shaped phantom opened its eyes, looking indifferently at the flood dragon before it and the demon core rapidly shooting towards it, then suddenly uttered a light shout.
Instantly, a misty green light radiated forward in the blink of an eye.
Ssssss...
The demon core that had just surged out suddenly quivered, hovering slightly in the air.
Even further away, the flood dragon’s eyes became vacant, as if it had lost its will.
Immediately after, Bai Ziyue moved his thoughts, and the Beiming Flying Sword transformed into a stream of light, evolving a One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques decree, piercing directly forth.
Poof!
The flying sword almost instantaneously pierced through the flood dragon’s incredibly hard skull, drilling into its brain matter.
"Soul Energy +2975238."
A massive amount of Soul Energy immediately flashed before Bai Ziyue’s eyes.
Nearly three million points of Soul Energy, undoubtedly his largest single harvest ever.
At this moment, Bai Ziyue had activated his innate divine technique, ’Stunned,’ awakened after breaking into the Divine Realm.
*Under the effect of Stunned, he immediately immobilized the flood dragon completely, allowing him to strike with ease and slay it in one sword.*
"The power of this innate divine technique has indeed increased greatly compared to before.
Especially after the breakthrough in realm, with enhanced soul power, the power of this attack is more than doubled compared to when I initially broke through to the early-stage Divine Realm.
Even this flood dragon, on the brink of Core Formation, could be easily captured..."
*Bai Ziyue marveled internally but hesitated not a moment, immediately starting to clean up the battlefield.*
The flood dragon’s body was enormous, stretching fifteen to sixteen meters, and its widest part reached about one meter across—ordinary storage bags could not contain it.
But the flood dragon was full of treasures, making him loath to waste it. His dependency on Spirit Stones had greatly increased during cultivation, so he wouldn’t let it pass. With the flying sword flashing rapidly, he divided it into dozens of pieces, storing them one by one in various storage bags.
Then came the spirit snake he had previously slain, the single-horned Kui Ox, and the toad... he spared nothing.
"And this Flood Dragon Pill.
This toxin is indeed potent. If not for my antidote pill being of third-grade super tier, curing all poisons, it would have been quite troublesome."
Bai Ziyue finally set his gaze upon the Flood Dragon Demon Pill.
As the flood dragon perished, the demon core’s spirit light was restrained, yet the terrifying poison within it was so potent that when his divine thought swept over it, he felt a tingle, almost as if he were about to be poisoned. It was truly terrifying.
"However, this flood dragon pill is indeed an excellent alchemy material. Whether used as a lead to refine an antidote pill or combined with poisonous grass to create a poison pill, its utility is immense.
The path of poison may be a minor way, but sometimes it is something one must guard against."
Bai Ziyue mused, intentionally storing it in a sealed treasure box.
He planned that if the materials were suitable, he would refine it into an antitoxic pill.
With his current fourth-grade high-tier alchemy skill, it wouldn’t be difficult to refine it into a fourth-grade or higher antitoxic pill.
A fourth-grade antitoxic pill could neutralize even poisons that reached the soul level. In the eyes of some people, it was enough to save their lives.
Just as Master Fushui’s junior brother’s fire poison in the past. If he had a fourth-grade antitoxic pill on hand, he could naturally recover with ease.
Then, without lingering further, Bai Ziyue’s form flickered as he rushed straight out of the Celestial Demon Territory.
...
"In the direction of the poisonous miasma marsh, do you hear it? It sounds like someone is battling that poisonous flood dragon."
On the warship, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on Master Rock’s face.
"Is that so? The commotion is not small. Who could it be?"
The two people beside him also expressed surprise and suspicion.
"Regardless of who it is, anyone who can battle that flood dragon about to form a core must at least be a nine-star Divine Realm powerhouse."
As Master Rock spoke, he suddenly continued, "Could it be Daoist Giant Axe, Fairy Qingji, or someone else taking action?"
"It’s said that Daoist Giant Axe is preparing for another task, and as for Fairy Qingji, it seems like there hasn’t been news of her for a long time... Look, someone is returning."
"Wait, the sounds of battle have also ceased.
Has the outcome been decided? Who won? Was it the flood dragon or the mysterious powerhouse?"
At this moment, the other two were simultaneously startled and all turned their gaze into the distance.
...
Bai Ziyue lightly lifted his feet, stepping forward, then again, although he didn’t use extreme speed, he moved incredibly fast.
In just a Sumeru moment, he charged out of the poisonous miasma marsh and stepped through the forest, his form like a phantom, with the surrounding scenery swiftly passing by.
Soon, the silhouette of the warship came into view from afar.
Without pausing, Bai Ziyue rapidly charged toward the warship.
At this moment, a sword light flashed out, swift as lightning, stabbing fiercely toward Bai Ziyue.
Bai Ziyue’s expression did not change; a palm imprint flipped up, not only encompassing the sword light within his palm, suppressing it firmly but also with excess strength crashing forward.
Booming!
With a heaven-shaking roar, a gigantic palm imprint directly crushed rows of giant trees into splinters, annihilating the cultivator who had attempted to ambush him, reducing him to mere scraps.
Instantly, those around who also harbored ill intentions and planned to strike trembled in their hearts, filled with shock.
Everyone participating in the assessment, although unfamiliar with each other, had come to understand through previous contact that Bai Ziyue’s cultivation realm was only at the early-stage Divine Realm.
The result was that, with just one strike, that mid-stage Divine Realm cultivator was annihilated.
Among everyone, only Feiyun Ascendant and Master Qu Le showed no surprise on their faces.
They had personally witnessed Bai Ziyue’s ferocity. That Flying Sword Technique still sent shivers down their spines. Even if the attacker was at mid-stage Divine Realm, they predicted that even late-stage Divine Realm cultivators wouldn’t fare any better.
Bai Ziyue remained calm, with a gesture collecting the storage bag and Dharma treasure from the fallen individual, before continuing to fly toward the warship.
On the scene, no one else dared to obstruct him.
Even the two cultivators in monk robes slightly bowed in respect.
"Good lad, your strength is impressive."
The five-star Divine Realm powerhouse in black robes gazed at Bai Ziyue, admiringly said.
"Senior flatters me."
Bai Ziyue landed on the warship, offering a slight bow, and said.
"Forget the senior business, you can call me Master Pei or Fellow Daoist Pei.
As for being polite, I’m not just being courteous.
In the realm of Immortal Cultivators, strength commands respect. Especially within the Nine-star Daoist Palace, where among star-level powerhouses, strength naturally earns attention. If you were weak, did you think I’d pay you any mind?"
Master Pei rolled his eyes and said.
Bai Ziyue nodded silently, also feeling slightly amused in his heart.
*His strength was not something that the realm could measure. Besides, now that he was known as Master Beiming externally, it had little relevance to his original identity. Therefore, concealing his strength seemed to hold little significance.*
With a slight hesitation, he gathered and released his aura.
Instantly, the Immortal Technique power belonging to the mid-stage Divine Realm was fully exposed to everyone present.
