Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 456 Hunting the Demon King (Please Subscribe)

The fake Dan Demon King, the Electric Ray Demon Fish, has already developed sentience.

However, electric ray dolphins are inherently irritable.

Before them lay another delicious prey, the result of their hard work.

Why would I give it to the blue dragon?

With just one glance, it knew that this azure dragon was not a real demonic beast, but a cultivator in disguise.

"Humans, how dare you come before me to die!"

The electric ray demon fish floated on the water's surface, resembling a small mountain, exuding a powerful demonic aura.

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

The fake Core Demon King is indeed extraordinary.

They actually know how to transmit their thoughts through their souls.

"You have indiscriminately slaughtered my human cultivators, how can I tolerate you!"

Shen Xuan, with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, also transmitted his thoughts through his soul.

"Bah! Humans are so hypocritical! You've been here all along, why didn't you show yourself sooner to stop us!"

"Huh, you knew that?"

This time, Shen Xuan was genuinely surprised.

He also thought that the electric ray was unaware of this.

Then I thought about it.

Monsters have keener senses than humans.

It is said that the electric ray can sense bioelectric fields and locate its prey.

After Shen Xuan transformed into the form of a dragon, his body became enormous.

As a fake core demon king, it is perfectly normal for the electric ray demon fish to sense him.

At this moment, the electric ray was filled with rage.

Then, a pair of small eyes in the center of his back flashed with an eerie light, and his brownish-red demonic body suddenly turned azure.

On both sides of the head and chest of the electric ray, millions of hexagonal columnar electric plates simultaneously generate azure electric light.

The next moment.

More than a dozen bolts of lightning, as big as buckets, crackled and popped, forming an electric net that enveloped the azure dragon that Shen Xuan had transformed into.

"That's really brutal!"

Such a formation would be unstoppable even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of their cultivation; they would only perish and their cultivation would be extinguished.

Shen Xuan transformed himself.

He transformed from his dragon form back into human form.

"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to plot against me? He's courting death!"

The electric ray demon fish sensed Shen Xuan's cultivation level and flew into a rage.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

If it were a close-quarters physical fight, the more powerful Flood Dragon Dharma Form would naturally be the better choice.

However, they were faced with the electric ray, which was adept at using electric shocks.

With his "Irresistible Body," he was completely fearless.

Moreover, Shen Xuan's divine sense stirred slightly.

The well-made lightning protection suit was put on instantly, protecting his body completely.

This was specially designed by Shen Xuan to deal with cultivators who used lightning magic.

It can even withstand the divine lightning of the heavens.

No matter how strong the electric ray demon fish's electricity is, how can it compare to the divine thunder from the heavens?

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

More than a dozen bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck him without missing a single one.

Strands of azure lightning flashed incessantly on the lightning protection suit.

However, Shen Xuan, hiding inside the lightning protection suit, smiled slightly.

He quickly formed a hand seal.

In an instant.

A purple-golden light suddenly appeared and materialized in front of Shen Xuan.

Under Shen Xuan's spiritual power.

After counting the interest.

The purple-gold light spread out, revealing a treasure seal the size of a fist.

The Dao patterns on the surface of the treasure seal evolved into nine golden dragons.

It was the Purple Gold True Water Seal, a spiritual artifact nurtured by Shen Xuan for many years.

At this point, it already possessed three-tenths of the power of a spiritual artifact.

Shen Xuan pointed at the electric ray demon fish.

"Moo!"

The nine divine dragons roared like old oxen, exuding a violent and powerful aura, spewing out streams of spiritual water that swirled around the purple-gold seal.

Just a breath.

The purple seal shone with golden light and, nourished by the divine dragon's spiritual water, swelled to the size of a millstone.

"disease!"

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was swept away.

The Purple Gold True Water Seal transformed into a golden light, instantly flying to the top of the Electric Ray Demon Fish's head and slamming down hard.

When Shen Xuan unleashed the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

The electric ray demon fish then rolled its eyes wildly, trying to escape.

It instinctively sensed that the terrifying aura emanating from the Purple-Gold True Water Seal was enough to destroy it.

Faced with the full force of the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

The electric ray dared not take the attack head-on and immediately disappeared into the sea.

"Want to run?"

Shen Xuan quickly made a hand seal.

[Water-repelling]!
The seawater around the electric ray suddenly surged outwards, preventing it from escaping into the water.

Unable to draw upon the spiritual power of the seawater, the electric ray demon fish roared angrily, opened its demonic body, and its demonic power instantly spread out, enveloping its entire body in an instant.

"when!"

A dull sound rang out.

The space shook.

A deep crater was smashed into the top of the electric ray demon fish's head, and blood seeped from its body. The demonic power surrounding its body dimmed.

This was definitely not a pleasant experience; it nearly killed it.

Using the power of the Purple Gold True Water Seal, the electric ray demon fish quickly escaped.

However, how could Shen Xuan let it go?

This kind of monster that can only generate electricity is completely under his control.

Even the fake Core Demon King was powerless to fight back.

"Here comes the sword!"

The Ice Soul Divine Sword appeared before Shen Xuan.

The spiritual energy within his body poured in frantically.

Shen Xuan quickly made a hand seal.

First, strengthen the physical body.

[Immense Strength], [Critical Hit]

Following that was the advanced level of the [Immortal Slaying Water Technique Qi].

The Ice Soul Divine Sword transformed into a stream of water-elemental sword energy, which shot towards the Electric Ray Demon Fish.

Just one sword.

It then pierced through the heart of the electric ray demon fish.

The towering waves suddenly scattered and fell.

The powerful demonic energy vanished instantly.

Pain was evident in the small eyes of the electric ray.

It seemed as if it couldn't believe it.

He actually perished at the hands of a Foundation Establishment stage human cultivator.

Shen Xuan stood in front of the electric ray demon fish.

"Congeal!"

The Ice Soul Divine Sword emitted bursts of icy coldness.

A few breaths later, the electric ray demon fish's enormous body was frozen into an iceberg.

Shen Xuan took out an extra-large beast pouch and put its demonic body inside.

"Fortunately, I was prepared."

Shen Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

At that moment, he scanned the sea surface with his divine sense. More than ten floating corpses were drifting on the sea.

Shen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.

They immediately collected all the storage bags and magical artifacts belonging to these people.

As for the remains, considering there was no enmity between them, they were allowed to be buried at sea.

"help me!"

The last floating corpse, surprisingly, was not dead and slowly awoke.

He is the strongest late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator among them.

Shen Xuan glanced at the robes he was wearing.

"True Meaning Sect?"

"Yes! Fellow Daoist, I am Zhao Mingcheng, a direct disciple of the Golden Core stage from the True Meaning Sect!"

Zhao Mingcheng pleaded desperately.

"Save me! I will repay you handsomely!"

Shen Xuan shook his head, looking helpless.

In fact, if Shen Xuan had used his magic, with the healing effects of the [Divine Treasure Ocean Technique], plus the Nine-Turn Life-Sustaining Pill in his storage bag, he could have saved Zhao Mingcheng's life.

However, there's no need for that.

Shen Xuan and he were complete strangers.

We saved him, but we still need to figure out how to handle the aftermath.

That's not how it works; letting it fall so easily and cleanly is much better.

Seeing that Shen Xuan was unwilling to help.

Zhao Mingcheng's gaze toward Shen Xuan was filled with hatred.

"You've been here for a while, haven't you!"

"You'd rather watch us all die at the hands of monsters than lend a helping hand to save us!"

"You are an evil cultivator!"

With his last breath, Zhao Mingcheng cursed a few more times before dying.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

He knew he couldn't be a good person.

Shen Xuan concealed his aura.

Soon, the spirit fish and shrimp that had smelled the aroma from nearby swam over in a rush.

They began to tear apart and devour the corpses of these cultivators.

Shen Xuan concealed himself.

Until all the cultivators' corpses were eaten by the water demon.

Only then did he transform into a dragon and return to Spring Breeze Island from the seabed.

……

Inside the training room, Shen Xuan sat cross-legged.

On the jade table in front of him lay a demon core.

It was the demon core that had just killed the Big-Headed Wolf Fish.

Although it is a second-tier water demon, the Big-Headed Wolf Fish is violent and its demon core is not suitable for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

The nine-colored lotus completely refined and absorbed the fake elixir.

Shen Xuan's spiritual power increased significantly as a result.

He broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment three years earlier than expected.

Whether it's an inner core or a demon core, both are compressed spiritual essence.

Since it can refine inner cores and essence blood, it can also refine demon cores.

Shen Xuan pondered to himself.

Today, he made a special effort to adjust his physical condition in order to try refining the demon core.

If it works.

Absorbing the spiritual power of a demon core is definitely more effective than eating the flesh of a demon beast.

Shen Xuan silently circulated his internal energy.

Within his dantian, the nine-colored lotus slowly bloomed.

Shen Xuan activated the mysterious jade talisman, releasing a golden light from his sea of ​​consciousness that enveloped the Big-Headed Wolf Fish Demon Core.

In sight.

The Big-Headed Wolf Fish Demon Core gradually melted and shrank.

Small golden characters appeared on the mysterious jade talisman.

[Plunderable Talents: Bronze Head and Iron Body, Forever]

Shen Xuan was taken aback.

He had previously plundered the bloodline talent of the Big-Headed Wolf Fish.

There is also [sharp teeth].

But then it disappeared.

It should be the sharp teeth of the Bighead Wolffish, but it's not as good as his current level.

"So, the function of a demon core is actually similar to that of essence blood?"

Shen Xuan chose [Bronze Head and Iron Body].

On the mysterious jade talisman, small golden characters flickered and changed.

[Talent: Iron Body (16/100)]

【Daoyun: 1188】

【Copper head and iron body】Similar to 【Iron bones】.

The focus should be on strengthening the mind.

The Taoist charm has increased by 300 points.

At this moment, the mysterious jade talisman released a stream of pure spiritual power, which flowed directly into Shen Xuan's Dao Foundation Sea.

"This is... the refined demon core's spiritual power?"

The Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea gained a trace of spiritual power.

On the jade table, the Big-Headed Wolf Fish Demon Core had shrunk to one-tenth of its original size.

"Therefore, the function of a demon core is similar to that of essence blood. Moreover, it also increases the absorption of spiritual energy!"

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

Demon cores and demon pills have always been the most valuable parts of demon beasts.

It is much more valuable than the essence blood of demonic beasts.

Many elixirs are made primarily from demon cores and demon pills.

Even the Foundation Establishment Pill is the same.

"Therefore, I can completely achieve self-sufficiency in resources. Apart from breaking through to the Golden Core stage with spirit pills, I don't need anything else for the time being!"

"It seems that my cultivation speed can be increased even further, and I have already surpassed the Core Formation seed of the Qingyun Sect!"

Shen Xuan estimated that it would take no more than ten years for him to break through from the seventh to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

Given his lifespan, which is comparable to that of a fake immortal, there is no need to be anxious or impatient.

"Slowly refine the essence blood and demon core, accumulate Dao essence, and expand the Dao foundation spiritual sea."

Shen Xuan plans to purify and refine spiritual energy as much as possible while increasing the capacity of his Dao Foundation Spiritual Sea.

A weak spiritual energy and an unstable foundation will affect the quality of future core formation.

Now, with his long lifespan, he can continue to purify spiritual energy, strengthen his foundation, and cultivate it to its capacity and solidification limits.

There's no need to rush.

Anyway, he's now considered a third-tier cultivator.

Although he was the most despised body refiner among them.

But a third-order is still a third-order.

Shen Xuan could easily defeat those in the Foundation Establishment Realm or even the Pseudo-Core Formation Realm.

After completing his daily cultivation, Shen Xuan took out the information jade slip to read.

This was sent by the Sea Dragon Girl through someone.

"The five clans of Yan have begun recruiting. It seems that war between Yan and Song is imminent?"

Shen Xuan fell into deep thought after seeing the latest intelligence.

The expansion of the war between Yan and Song was not good news for him.

This also means that real people from both countries will go out and appear on the front lines of the war.

It's not just fake alchemists.

True Dan cultivators and Golden Dan cultivators will both appear.

"Either stay put or remain hidden in the Sea of ​​Stars."

"Either we go to Baijiazhai and the border town of Songliang as soon as possible before the war breaks out in full force."

Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.
