Chapter 284 Crushing Golden Core
"No...impossible, how could this Golden Core Flood Dragon manifest its true form?"
Upon witnessing this scene, the six compound eyes of the putrid scorpion trembled, and a chill ran through its heart.
Demonic beasts have always cultivated by using brute force to break through magic, advocating the profound connection of bloodlines, and pursuing the return of bloodlines to their ancestral form.
It has lived for over two thousand years and has seen more than a handful of Golden Core demon beasts. It even had a brief encounter with the True Lord Demon King who ruled the entire Yunlongze.
But no demon beast has ever been seen to imitate human cultivators and condense a Dharma body with immortal gold essence.
This is the skill of a Golden Core cultivator from the human race!
Could it be?
The Rotten Crocodile's compound eyes narrowed slightly as it looked at Xiu Tu's figure on the back of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon, already considering retreating.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
As the surrounding demons and monsters exploded, Blood Lotus was struck as if by lightning, its head petals of blood-red lotus peeling off piece by piece.
"What a terrifying dragon!"
Sensing the terrifying pressure, Xue Liancha felt a chill in her heart. She was glad that she had acted cautiously and had not acted alone, but instead invited the five Golden Core demon beasts to join forces.
However, the behavior of her allies made Xue Liancha feel uneasy.
"roar!"
As the aerial overlord of the northern part of Yunlongze, the Thunder Tiger's wings blot out the sky, its escape light is accompanied by wind and thunder, and its roar can shake all beasts, truly an extraordinary power.
But everything is subject to comparison.
Before the three-headed dragon, which was both godlike and demonic, not far away, the low roar of the Thunder Tiger with flapping wings had little of the imposing aura of a tiger roaring through the mountains and forests; instead, it sounded like the meowing of a wild cat.
"Winged Thunder Tiger, what are you doing?"
Seeing the Thunder Tiger standing trembling in place, the Dark Fang Rat grinned, clearly displeased.
That dragon was indeed extraordinary, but it wasn't enough to make a Golden Core demon beast with over six hundred years of cultivation fear it.
Could it be that the Thunder Tigers, sensing the unfavorable situation, deliberately concealed their strength and feigned weakness, intending to let them take the lead?
Little did they know that the Thunder Tiger was trembling with unspeakable suffering, so terrified that it was almost vomiting blood.
These short-sighted fools! Is it that they don't want to fight?
Under the gaze of that three-headed dragon, not only did its soul tremble, but even the inner core it had nurtured for many years began to spin uncontrollably, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Damn it, how can there be such a terrifying dragon in this world!" A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Thunder Tiger.
The dragon, the chief of all scaled creatures, though not yet officially a dragon, already commands a power that surpasses all demons, making it the king of all beasts.
Having heard such rumors many times, Zhen Chi Lei Hu had long anticipated them and had made thorough preparations before taking action.
But it never expected that, faced with the oppressive power of the dragon, it wouldn't even have the chance to use its demon core or unleash its innate abilities.
"Let's attack together," the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile keenly sensed something was wrong and transmitted his thoughts telepathically.
It had encountered the Thunder Tiger several times and knew that the latter was arrogant and unlikely to be afraid before the battle. It was probably influenced by the Flood Dragon Xuan Tong or restrained by it.
Suddenly, the rotten scorpion-crocodile sprang up, its demonic power surging forth. Its six compound eyes lit up simultaneously, shooting out blinding blood-red light towards the golden egg's neck.
This blood-red light was extraordinary; it was formed from the putrid, turbid crocodile that had been entrenched at the intersection of the Yin Sha earth veins, breathing in and exhaling putrid and turbid energy, which, combined with the energy nurtured by its inner core, created […].
[The Soul Burial Curse]
This poison can corrode the physical body of a Golden Core cultivator and rot the flesh of a Third Realm demon general.
Even if the victim tries to expel the evil spirits from their flesh and blood immediately, it will be difficult to stop the erosion of the Soul Burial Evil. In no time, their three souls will become rigid and their seven spirits will gradually decay and they will die.
Blood Lotus Cliff clasped her hands together, and the vines beneath her feet pierced the earth's veins, instantly covering an area of hundreds of feet in radius, forming the Blood Lotus Domain.
Immediately, the blood-kissed lotus, whose head was constantly opening and closing, suddenly revealed the face of the deceased, emitting a mournful and piercing cry that could interfere with divine consciousness and bewitch the will of a Golden Core cultivator.
"Qi!"
The most insidious of them all was the Obsidian Rat. Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the two demons, it flashed and instantly appeared behind Chen Beiwu, its nine-toothed fangs exuding a strange resentment.
The Obsidian Rat is listed in the Immortal Alliance's "Ten Thousand Demons Record: Filthy Beasts Volume". It is a strange rat formed from the yin energy of the earth veins. It often lives in the yin energy of ancient tombs and feeds on the resentment of the dead. It also likes to eat blood. It is an extremely rare third-tier high-grade treasure beast in the Immortal Alliance.
Its evolved form, the Sky Rat, is renowned for its "nine teeth that devour the universe and sever yin and yang with a single bite."
The Obsidian Rat possesses three innate abilities. At this moment, it opens its sharp snout and releases its innate ability, [Nine Obsidian Fangs], which includes the abilities to rot flesh, corrode bones, shatter souls, and...
It has the effects of severing the pulse, destroying the spirit, polluting the blood, stiffening the tendons, splitting the soul, and causing one to fall into nothingness; those who are affected cannot be cured by medicine or stone.
As far as Chen Beiwu knew, in ancient times, there were evil cultivators who specifically hunted and killed the Obsidian Rat, using its obsidian teeth to refine the third-tier demonic magic weapon [Nine Yin Death Rake], which almost wiped out the Obsidian Rat clan. This shows how precious and powerful this beast was.
"A golden opportunity!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Silver Scaled Dragon Turtle, which had been hiding near the sea eye, could no longer suppress its greed.
Three sharp claws on its belly emitted a dazzling light, drawing out the icy chill of the icy marrow and forcibly drawing away the spiritual energy of the water near the sea eye, causing the lake surface to explode into a whirlpool.
At that moment, the seawater within a hundred feet radius was compressed by the dragon's claws and transformed into a black water blade the size of a dagger, silently slashing towards the golden egg's neck.
This is the innate profound power of the Silver Scaled Dragon Turtle, cultivated for five hundred years, called the Heavy Water Fiend Blade. It is extremely powerful, and the previous overlord of Dragon Lake perished under this profound power.
During the fog, in addition to the Thunder Tiger with its wings flapping, the innate mystical powers unleashed by the four demon generals—the Rotten Turbid Crocodile, the Blood Lotus Demon, the Obscure Fang Rat, and the Silver Scale Dragon Turtle—intertwined to form a quadruple attack, completely blocking Chen Beiwu and the Golden Egg's escape route.
"Woof."
Sensing the impending danger, Tie Dan was furious and rushed behind Chen Beiwu, trying to use the power of the Sky-Waving Cloak to block the Dark Fang Rat's sneak attack. However, a pair of large hands grabbed it.
Tie Dan looked up and met Chen Beiwu's calm and unfathomable gaze.
That wasn't forced composure, but rather a calm calm and concern for it, as if what they were facing wasn't the combined attack of the four demon generals, but a pointless charade.
"Let the golden egg come; the three phases are indestructible."
As Chen Beiwu focused his thoughts, the golden egg slightly raised its head, and golden, cyan, and blue divine light rotated, transforming into a layer of barely perceptible mist.
This thin mist was extremely faint, almost blending into the very essence of heaven and earth, yet it contained an extremely profound and indestructible Daoist charm.
The next moment, the world fell silent.
There was no earth-shattering collision, no devastating surge of magical power, and no aftershocks powerful enough to annihilate the demon generals of the three realms.
The four great killing techniques—Burial Soul Fiend, Enchanting Divine Sound, Nine Obscure Fangs, and Heavy Water Fiend Blade—vanished without even causing a ripple, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
The golden egg stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, its eyes filled with the composure of someone in complete control.
The Golden Calamity cannot be broken!
It is impervious to floods!
Wood that doesn't rot!
With the protection of the Three Phases of Indestructible Mystery, unless a Golden Core Demon General can defeat the Three Phases simultaneously according to the Five Elements of Life and Death, it is invincible in the same territory.
"How is this possible? A Demon King of the Fourth Realm?"
The rotten crocodile's expression changed slightly, and he was greatly alarmed. The urge to retreat in his mind grew stronger.
It was scared!
The reason was that the three-headed dragon in front of them displayed a power similar to the innate demonic domain of a fourth-realm demon king, which could ignore the power of the Golden Core Profound Realm.
What is the Destiny Demon Realm?
The four realms of demon kings can seize a portion of the power of heaven and earth, rooted in bloodline, either inheriting the legacy of their ancestors or seizing the mysteries of creation, using demon cores as their seed.
The creation of the natal demon realm, which is neither real nor illusory, forming its own little universe.
Legend has it that the Demon Realm of Destiny possesses the power to change the world, and cannot be broken by anyone but a Nascent Soul True Monarch. It is also revered by demons as the Demon King's True Realm.
"No, that's not right, this isn't the Demon King's True Domain!" Blood Lotus Buddha retorted, "There are too many suspicious points."
If the three-headed dragon in front of me is truly a fourth-realm demon king, I could kill them all with just a glance.
Moreover, it's impossible for the Demon Kings of the Four Realms to conceal their strength during their dragon-walking journey; the resulting power of heaven and earth could completely encompass the entire Cloud Dragon Marsh.
Instead of simply manipulating the water flow in the northern part of Yunlongze.
Therefore, only one possibility remains: this dragon of unknown origin, which associates with human Foundation Establishment cultivators, flows with the blood of a demon king and can unleash some of the demon king's might through the power of its bloodline.
Otherwise, even a demon general at the peak of the third realm, with over nine hundred years of cultivation and only one step away from becoming a demon king of the fourth realm, could not have so easily taken the combined attack of the demons and remained unharmed.
"Why!"
Upon hearing his ally's explanation, the fear in the eyes of the Fiendish Rat vanished, and his gaze toward the golden egg grew even more greedy.
Even if they cannot defeat or kill this three-headed dragon, it would be a great fortune to obtain some of the dragon's essence and marrow during the battle.
"Buzz!"
On the other side, a great terror suddenly rose in the heart of the Thunder Tiger.
Faced with such a deadly crisis, it no longer relied on its allies for help, but instead slightly opened its mouth, intending to unleash its inner core in a desperate attack.
They took the opportunity to escape from this place.
boom!
With a roar, the golden egg's water head, wooden head, and golden head all drooped down simultaneously, and six pairs of vertical golden dragon eyes locked onto the flapping-winged thunder tiger.
The Three-Phase Manifestation of Sainthood that it activated was not just a simple suppression of all beasts; it could also easily kill demon generals of the same realm with the power of the Three-Phase Manifestation of Sainthood. This was also the reason why the Winged Thunder Tiger stood still and trembled.
It wasn't that the Thunder Tiger didn't want to make a move, but under the Three-Phase Manifestation Profound Power, even unleashing its demon core to break free from the Profound Power's lock was a pipe dream.
"roar!"
In the perception of the four demon generals, the roar of the Thunder Tiger with flapping wings suddenly stopped, and the lightning in its eyes dimmed instantly, replaced by emptiness.
There were no external injuries, no bloodstains, not even a single hair was lost. The immense demonic power within the Winged Thunder Tiger dissipated like a tidal wave, and its life force was completely extinguished.
A Thunder Tiger with over 600 years of cultivation, capable of contending with a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, perished and its aura dissipated into the world.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The alliance between the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile, the Blood Lotus Claw, the Obscure Tooth Rat, and the Silver Scale Dragon Turtle collapsed the moment the Thunder Tiger fell. Without looking back, they each used their magical abilities to escape.
The rotten scorpion-crocodile, not hesitating to sever one of its own tails, transformed into a streak of pitch-black rainbow light and darted deep into the earth.
The Blood Lotus instantly disintegrated, transforming into hundreds of blood-red petals that scattered in all directions, forming countless dense, indistinguishable streaks of light.
The gray fur on the Dark Fang Rat bristled, shrinking to a size of about an inch, and then it transformed into three streaks of light and moved frantically.
The Silver-Scaled Dragon Turtle was extremely cautious, its aura completely concealed. It immediately used the Abyss Escape Technique to dive into the Boundless Sea.
"You guys are smart enough to back down when things get tough, but it's too late." Chen Beiwu shook his head slightly.
As the raging floodwaters surged into the Boundless Sea, the Dragon Walk ended, and the golden egg's aura surged at a visible speed, easily breaking through to the Ju realm.
Six hundred years of cultivation!
Six hundred and forty years of cultivation!
Six hundred and eighty years of cultivation!
Six hundred and ninety-nine years of cultivation!
In the blink of an eye, the golden egg became a demon general of the third realm with a cultivation of 699 years, only one step away from the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and a new innate profound ability was awakened deep within its bloodline.
【Mysterious Connection】：Three Absolute True Qi 【Attributes】：Metal, Water, Wood 【Rank】：Fourth-Rank Upper-Grade Mysterious Technique 【Introduction】：The Three Qi are the root, and all phenomena are the application. It borrows the sharpness of Geng Metal, the vitality of Jia Wood, and the gentleness of Ren Water, and contains the three major natal True Qi of Tai Bai, Tai He, and Tai Ming.
Taibai True Qi: It can penetrate all magical treasures and Vajra bodies, and can break through all forms.
Taihe Zhengang: Specializes in breaking magic, talismans, and mystical spaces; it can break all kinds of magic.
Tai Ming Zhen Gang: It erodes the foundation of the primordial spirit, like weak water corroding bones, directly attacking the soul.
The three qi can be combined to condense the three ultimate qi, which can specifically counter protective qi, magical treasures and barriers, indestructible bodies and all kinds of spells and talismans. It can also damage the primordial spirit. Its power is unparalleled, but overuse will damage the foundation.
"Finish them off!"
As Chen Beiwu's thoughts settled, the golden egg, aided by the Three Absolute True Qi, broke through space, achieving the teleportation that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could accomplish.
Compared to the Nascent Soul True Monarch's ability to teleport a thousand miles, the Golden Egg's ability to teleport a thousand feet is insignificant, but it is an almost invincible and difficult-to-defend divine skill for a Three Realms Demon General.
"boom!"
The golden egg instantly appeared at the bottom of the boundless sea, behind the stubborn rock disguised as a silver-scaled dragon turtle.
A blinding golden light shot out from the golden horn of the central head, slicing through the dragon's shell like a celestial sword, easily pulverizing its life force and soul.
Remove a jet-black inner core.
"boom!"
The golden dragon shadow flashed again, ignoring hundreds of bloody rays, and found the location of the Blood Lotus Temple's true form.
This beast is cunning; the blood-red lights that scatter across the sky are all illusions, while its true form flees into the depths of the earth, but it cannot escape Chen Beiwu's perception.
The wooden head on the right side of the golden egg rose up, and with the power of the Three Absolute True Qi, it bit down, crushing the Blood Lotus Temple's defenses with overwhelming force and ending its life.
"squeak!"
1"
Sensing the impending danger above, the Fiery Fang Rat's eyes hardened, and it threatened to self-destruct its demon core.
As long as the three-headed dragon is not a fourth-realm demon king, it is confident that it can use the Nine Dark Vengeful Spirits within its demon core to severely damage its foundation, harm its bloodline, and deprive it of any hope of advancing to the fourth-realm demon king.
"Pupi".
The fanged rat felt a pain in its heart area.
"When?"
It lowered its head, looking at the dragon tail on its chest, its eyes filled with disbelief, and then it completely lost consciousness.
"Only one left." Chen Beiwu looked in the direction the rotting scorpion-crocodile had fled.
The Rotten Scorpion Crocodile is comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and among the five demon generals, it has the fastest escape speed.
But no matter how fast it is, it cannot escape Chen Beiwu's divine sense perception, and it cannot compare to the instantaneous teleportation that breaks through space with the Three Absolute True Qi.
"I am a demon general under King Yunze. If you dare to kill me, you will be making an enemy of your entire Yunlongze!"
Upon seeing the three-headed dragon that suddenly appeared, its body reeking of blood, the Rotten Scorpion Crocodile roared angrily, intending to use the demon king's name to trick Chen Beiwu into sparing its life.
Intimidated by the Demon King's formidable reputation, the golden egg hesitated slightly and looked at Chen Beiwu.
Upon discovering that Chen Beiwu remained unmoved and did not issue a stop order, the golden egg raised its three heads representing gold, water, and wood, and unleashed the Three-Phase Furnace.
"Boom!"
The Rotten Crocodile was quite powerful, but it was no match for the Golden Egg. It held out against the Golden Egg for a full quarter of an hour before finally being defeated and dying after unleashing numerous profound abilities.
"Woof."
Seeing this, Tie Dan was quite surprised.
It knew that the Golden Egg would undergo a bloodline transformation and its strength would increase dramatically after it came into being, but it never expected it to be this powerful.
Even the combined efforts of the five Golden Core demon generals couldn't satisfy the golden egg!
