Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 519 Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lightning

Chapter 519 Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lightning (Seeking Subscriptions)

The illusionary killing array that Shen Xuan set up outside the cave was only a second-order array.

They could not stop the True Core Demon Lord.

The one who broke through the formation was none other than the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes.

At this moment, the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes was in a sorry state, his aura was disordered, his white bone cloak had some small tears, and the ghostly blue flames in his eye sockets flickered erratically.

Clearly, he had just been through a fierce battle.

"Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, Fellow Daoist Shen, come with me to save people!"

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes spoke urgently, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"My friend Blood Shadow and I were ambushed by a powerful enemy, an extremely skilled cultivator, at least at the late stage of the Nether Core realm!"

“Fellow Daoist Blood Shadow risked his life to cover our retreat. I saw the atmosphere here and guessed that you were here, so I came to find you.”

"Please, Fellow Daoist Wanmeng and Fellow Daoist Shen, go together to provide assistance. It will be too late if we delay any longer!"

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes spoke earnestly, his heart burning with anxiety, as he walked towards Shen Xuan.

However, just two zhang away from Shen Xuan.

A crimson light flashed in his eyes, shooting towards Shen Xuan's sea of consciousness.

At the same time, he pointed his right hand at Shen Xuan with fingers like a sword.

Suddenly, his fingertips turned pitch black and sharp, growing several feet in length, carrying a dark demonic aura that could pierce the soul, and aimed directly at Shen Xuan's eyes.

A faint white glint, barely perceptible to the naked eye, flashed past from within the left sleeve.

A completely transparent white bone needle silently entered Shen Xuan's dantian.

A three-pronged approach.

Clearly, the Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes had been plotting this for a long time.

Shen Xuan seemed to have anticipated this.

At the very instant the Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes made his move, his figure vanished like a ghost.

All attacks missed.

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes' expression changed drastically.

"Space magic!"

Having failed in his sneak attack, the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes turned and fled.

He couldn't understand how a mere Dharma Aspect Realm Body Refiner and late Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Cultivator could possibly comprehend spatial supernatural powers.

Actually, that was Shen Xuan using the [Yin Yang Walking] skill.

The effect is particularly good in this space filled with ethereal energy.

"Seek death!"

Shen Xuan's disdainful voice reached the ears of the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes.

Before his eyes, countless dark ice fish leaped out from the void, transforming into walls of azure ice that surrounded him.

Shen Xuan walked out of the void.

"His acting was so-so."

Shen Xuan's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"how do you know?"

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes withdrew his escape light and stood still, his face full of vigilance.

Shen Xuan chuckled softly.

“Let me guess. You told Blood Shadow that you would go here together to search for the legacy and relics of the Bone Nether Demon Ancestor.”

"For this reason, you even brought several of your personal disciples with you, ready to sacrifice them at any time."

"Blood Shadow probably never expected that your real target is Blood Shadow himself."

"If I'm not mistaken, Blood Shadow and his disciples, along with the disciples you brought, were all sacrificed to that monster!"

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes stared at Shen Xuan with a gloomy face, as if he were a venomous snake.

He didn't expect that his supposedly subtle scheme would be seen through at a glance.

“If Wanmeng hadn’t been with me, she would have been sacrificed by you, right?”

"Very well. Shen Xuan, since you know about Ancestor Bone Nether, you still dare to be so presumptuous. You don't want to live anymore!"

Shen Xuan chuckled softly.

"What kind of Bone Nether Ancestor! He's nothing but a remnant soul, reincarnated into a cultivator."

"Demon Eye, you shouldn't have attacked me."

"If you don't take action, I'll pretend I don't know anything. After I leave, I can still nod and say hello."

"Now, do you think you can still survive?"

Demonic cultivators are generally stronger than spiritual cultivators of the same level when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, after reaching the Core Formation stage...

On the contrary, he is somewhat weaker than other spiritual cultivators of the same level.

The Demon Lord's supernatural powers reside in his pair of demonic eyes.

After mastering the Yin-Yang Walking Technique, Shen Xuan was able to easily evade the Demon Lord's supernatural attacks.

In this way, the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes has no chance of winning against Shen Xuan.

Let him be slaughtered.

The demon lord's eyes blazed with ghostly fire, knowing there was no room for further negotiation, and his ferocity erupted completely.

"Shen Xuan, you're courting death, and I'll grant your wish!"

He roared, and the white bone cloak exploded completely, turning into countless ghostly blue fire bone fragments that rained down on Shen Xuan.

On each bone fragment, a distorted, ghostly face appeared, emitting a shrill, demonic sound as it lunged at you.

At the same time, the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes roared, his aura surged, and the ghost fire in his eye sockets suddenly went out, turning the surrounding hundred-foot space into pitch black.

A demonic domain of ghostly fire, capable of destroying the soul, instantly unfolded, enveloping Shen Xuan within it.

This time, Shen Xuan did not escape into the void.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?"

He held nothing back, and his vital energy erupted violently.

After the [Dragon Blood Boiling], a violent and destructive aura soared into the sky, and the dragon's murderous intent instantly dispersed the Ghost Fire Demon Domain.

Behind him, a divine dragon appeared.

It dwells in the void, its scales and claws sharp, looking down upon all living beings.

It exudes an extremely powerful aura of a true dragon.

The ghostly fire and bone fragments that shot towards them, as well as the shrieking ghostly faces, slowed down drastically upon entering Shen Xuan's divine dragon pressure domain, and burst into explosions with mournful cries.

"True Spirit Dharma Form!"

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes was utterly shaken, finding it hard to believe.

Only then did he see the legendary true spirit form.

It's not an illusion.

Instead, it solidifies like a real dragon.

Shen Xuan swayed.

[Walking Between Yin and Yang]!
He vanished into the void and appeared before the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes in just a breath.

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes dared not fight any longer and transformed into a bloody light, attempting to escape.

The True Dragon Dharma Form let out a dragon roar that shook the Netherworld, slightly freezing its blood-red light.

Then, a golden, gleaming club instantly appeared above the Demon Lord's head and slammed down from mid-air.

"boom!"

The golden light stick hit him squarely.

What kind of demonic energy shield or protective talisman?

Under the immense force of the golden light rod, it crumbled upon contact.

The earth trembled, and demonic energy permeated the air. Shen Xuan put away his golden light staff.

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes had already been reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.

A few remaining eerie blue flames flickered a few times before extinguishing completely.

Shen Xuan beckoned and pulled the Demon Core of the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes out of a pile of flesh and blood.

Then there was his storage bag, the bone cloak, and the bone soul-slaying needles.

"Not bad, the power control is just right."

Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with this strike.

The physical body of the True Core Demon Lord is far inferior to that of the True Core Immortal.

With a single blow, his flesh shattered.

No matter how mysterious the magic, if the physical body cannot withstand the golden light rod, death is the only outcome.

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged outside the cave again.

The true dragon image behind him slowly dissipated.

He glanced at the isolation barrier around the cave; it was intact.

Just now, the sounds of his fight with the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes shouldn't have affected Li Ruyi, who was attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage in the cave.

This is why he went all out and aimed to kill with a single blow.

There's no time to waste on the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes.

Beside him, Demon Lord Wanmeng covered her mouth, her bright eyes wide with shock as she stared at Shen Xuan.

She knew Shen Xuan was very strong.

However, it only took him a dozen breaths to kill the Demon Lord with the Demon Eye in one fell swoop.

This is too strong!
"Fellow Daoist Wanmeng, please calm down. I have no use for these demonic creatures; I'll trade them to you after we get out."

Shen Xuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Wanmeng smiled sweetly.

She sat down happily next to Shen Xuan.

……

The following days were uneventful.

Above the cave, strange phenomena continued to occur, with cold, dark energy constantly gathering and pouring into the cave.

Several days passed.

The cold, dark energy in the sky, rising and falling like clouds, formed wisps of mist that continuously poured into the cave.

Such a spirit far surpasses that of Zhuangzi and Qin Xueqin.

Shen Xuan thought to himself that Li Ruyi had a high chance of achieving the True Core stage.

Demon Lord Wanmeng glanced at the weather above her cave dwelling from time to time with her beautiful eyes.

"Shen Xuan, Fellow Daoist Li is capable of condensing a True Core?"

"Don't you have experience in condensing cores?"

Shen Xuan countered with a question.

"I am a Demon Core, which is very different from Fellow Daoist Li's Nether Core."

A few more days passed.

A thundercloud suddenly appeared above the cave.

"what?"

Demon Lord Wanmeng's face showed surprise.

"This is intolerable by the Heavenly Dao! Divine lightning will descend to blast away and kill the cultivator who has broken through!"

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

He unleashed the Purple Gold True Water Seal, which emitted countless rays of light that enveloped the cave.

"Shen Xuan does have some affection for Li Ruyi!"

A pang of bitterness welled up in Wanmeng Demon Lord's heart.

An hour later.

The sky above the cave was heavy with endless thunderclouds.

Lightning bolts, like giant serpents, darted through the thunderclouds, converging into a destructive sea of thunder.

The overwhelming divine might caused even Demon Lord Wanmeng to tremble.

The target of these heavenly tribulations and divine lightning was Li Ruyi, who was about to condense her soul core.

At this moment, Shen Xuan soared into the sky, blocking the thunderclouds above the cave.

Looking at the divine lightning about to strike, Shen Xuan remained calm and showed no fear.

With a low shout, Shen Xuan's body instantly turned pure gold, his appearance solemn and majestic, standing sixteen feet tall, exuding an aura of invincibility.

It was a sixteen-foot-tall golden body at the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Shen Xuan's mind stirred.

A strangely shaped lightning-proof garment covered his body.

Within his dantian, the nine-colored lotus blossomed magnificently, and the refined ice spiritual power flowed throughout his body, pushing the [Absolute Lightning Dao Body] to its limit.

Before long, the first heavenly tribulation lightning tore through the clouds, radiating a violent and destructive aura, and the dazzling lightning completely engulfed Shen Xuan's body.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was mostly blocked by the lightning-resistant armor, turning into countless dazzling bolts of lightning that vanished without a trace.

A very small portion of the power penetrated Shen Xuan's body, but caused no harm.

Demon Lord Wanmeng stood outside the cave and looked around.

A golden figure stood atop the cave, unmoved by the thousands of lightning bolts striking it.

Golden light and lightning intertwined, dazzling and spectacular.

"Boom!"

One after another, divine lightning bolts struck, their power enough to destroy a Core Formation cultivator.

When the ninth tribulation lightning arrived, it transformed into the blood-red Nine Heavens Thunder Fiend.

Shen Xuan stood firmly above the cave, as steady as Mount Tai.

With the protection of the lightning-proof armor and the insulation of the [Electricity-Absorbing Body], even a lightning bolt of this speed could not harm him.

After the nine heavenly tribulations of divine lightning.

The thunderclouds dissipated.

At this moment, the cold, dark energy from the outside world gradually dissipated.

Li Ruyi's aura of Core Formation began to disappear.

Shen Xuan flew down and sat cross-legged outside the cave once again.

Above the cave, many rays of light shone in the floating air, and faint sounds of celestial music could be heard.

A strange and powerful aura wafted out from the cave.

Shen Xuan's face lit up with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Li has condensed his True Core!"

"That's what Demon Lord Wanmeng blurted out."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly in agreement.

However, he remained there to guard the position for several more days.
