Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 623 Joining Forces to Destroy the Flood Dragon (Seeking Subscriptions)

Originally, the space around Shen Xuan was filled with scorching heat.

At that moment, it suddenly became cool.

The Primordial Ice Spiritual Power attached to the Ice Soul Divine Sword was compressed to its extreme and condensed into the dragon head that formed at the tip of the sword.

There wasn't much noise.

But, in an instant.

The massive, menacing wave of fire suddenly shrank, allowing the Xuanbing Divine Dragon to easily penetrate it.

The Xuanbing spiritual power quietly spread.

In Shen Xuan's sight, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon, under his control, gradually expanded, absorbing and extinguishing all the waves of fire.

See this scene.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Flaming Firebird.

"My Lord Divine Bird, there's no need to hold back. I still have some ability to withstand this."

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice.

Now that we've started, we need to show our strength.

Otherwise, communication will be even more difficult.

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

Perhaps, after being subdued by him, the fiery bird would be willing to donate some of its essence and blood to him.

"Good boy!"

The fiery firebird looked at Shen Xuan and spoke in human language.

Clearly, Shen Xuan's strength was far greater than it had imagined.

It could sense that the ice spiritual power condensed on the Ice Soul Divine Sword was unique and incredibly powerful.

Although ice magic is effective against fire magic.

However, it also depends on the caster's cultivation level, as well as the power and grade of the ice and fire spiritual forces.

The fiery firebird's eyes were fixed on Shen Xuan, and a glimmer of hope arose in its heart.

Shen Xuan simply stood there quietly.

It felt like an iceberg.

The icy aura emanating from it seemed capable of freezing everything.

This was the first time he had encountered an ice-magic cultivator like this.

Shen Xuan noticed the change in the Flaming Firebird's expression.

"My Lord Divine Bird, shall we make a bet?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile, a hint of pride in his voice.

He cannot show weakness.

"What bet?"

The Flaming Firebird looked on with curiosity.

"No matter how the divine bird casts its spell, I will remain safe and sound for the next hundred breaths."

"Can you hold out for a hundred breaths?"

The fiery firebird exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Xuan's confidence surprised it greatly.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"If I lose, this item is yours."

What Shen Xuan took out was the Seven Hearts Bodhi.

Such things, which can enlighten the mind and awaken spiritual understanding, are the favorite of spirit birds.

Sure enough, the Flaming Firebird's eyes gleamed when it saw the Seven Hearts Bodhi.

"Hey kid, give it to me!"

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Xuan smiled broadly: "What if I win?"

"impossible!"

"If, Lord Divine Bird, I were to win, would you grant me ten drops of your primordial blood essence?"

Shen Xuan's words silenced the Flaming Firebird for a few moments.

Even ten drops of primordial essence blood, it still requires careful consideration.

"You mean a hundred breaths?"

"One hundred breaths."

"Can you use escape techniques to flee?"

"will not."

Shen Xuan's answer made the Flaming Firebird make up its mind.

"Alright. I'll take the bet!"

Hear the words.

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

Then, he summoned the Purple Gold True Water Seal.

"Alright, now I'm going to start counting."

The Flaming Firebird initially had some reservations.

However, seeing Shen Xuan's confident appearance, she felt a surge of annoyance.

They actually used the Seven Hearts Bodhi to tempt it!
Despicable humans!
"Bless yourself!"

The voice just fell.

A fireball, imbued with the essence of fire elemental power, flew out of its mouth.

Soon, the fireball suddenly swelled to several meters in diameter.

The flames soared into the sky, faintly revealing a terrifying Daoist aura that could incinerate everything.

In an instant.

Shen Xuan was trapped by the demonic flames.

He gave a light drink.

More than a hundred dark ice fish flew out from his body, transforming into layers of azure ice walls to slow down the invasion of the demonic fire opposite.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword transformed once more into the Mystic Ice Divine Dragon, with a point of cold light condensing from the dragon's head formed at the tip of the sword.

"Ice Soul Divine Light, Sword Qi Condensed into Silk!"

A chilling light exploded.

Countless fine, almost transparent sword threads, gleaming with an extreme chill, shot into the demonic flames.

Opposite, the height of the demonic fire suddenly shrank considerably.

However, the Firebird let out a clear cry.

The demonic fire blazed up again and quickly returned to normal.

Shen Xuan waved his hand and retrieved the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

"Mysterious Ice Dragon Shadow, Myriad Dragon Sword Tide!"

The nine water dragons on the Purple Gold True Water Seal were formed by the condensation of Primordial Ice Spirit Power. At the same time, they spewed out ten thousand sharp sword intents, forming a magnificent sea of ​​ice swords that shot towards the demonic fire.

The demonic fire flickered.

Each ice sword diminishes its flames by a fraction.

The fiery bird cried out once more.

This time, it also flapped its wings.

With the help of its demonic wind, the demonic fire burned fiercely once again.

Braving Shen Xuan's Thousand Dragon Sword Tide, they quietly approached.

"Immortal Ice Lotus, Endless Sword Petals".

In an instant.

A crystal-clear ice lotus phantom suddenly bloomed, protecting Shen Xuan's body.

The lotus petals unfold layer by layer, forming an ice lotus with a diameter of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

This ice lotus was smaller than any he had ever created before.

Each lotus petal, as thin as a cicada's wing, gleams with a sharp, cold light.

Ten thousand ice lotus petals trembled and spun together, forming a sword-petal tornado.

The demonic fire is extremely powerful.

When it came into contact with the ice lotus sword petals, it made a "sizzling" sound.

Each sword petal couldn't even last a single breath within the demonic flames.

The illusory image of the ice lotus was constantly shrinking.

It stopped when it reached a diameter of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

No matter how fiercely the demonic fire burned, it would not back down.

After the foremost sword petal is burned, a new sword petal grows back.

Flowers bloom and fade, life goes on and on.

Shen Xuan held two Ice Soul Crystals in his hand, crushing them to replenish his spiritual power.

He only needs to hold out for a hundred breaths, and he will win this bet.

In the end, it's nothing more than a battle of spiritual energy.

Shen Xuan already possesses the skills of [Self-Healing] and [Ice Soul Rebirth], making him extremely resilient.

The storage bag contained a thousand Ice Soul Crystals.

Let alone a hundred breaths.

He can hold on for several months.

Time was running out.

The fiery bird let out an angry roar.

The feathers, as brilliant as pure gold, stood upright and suddenly burst into a thousand-foot-long, dazzling firework.

A phantom image of a divine bird silently appeared behind the Flaming Firebird.

Its entire body shimmered with multicolored light, and its feathers were vibrant, layered upon layered, like flowing flames.

It is the legendary phoenix.

At this moment, the body of the Fiery Firebird exuded a terrifying Daoist aura that could incinerate all things.

Strands of blazing divine light, carrying with them a faint, almost imperceptible, sacred aura.

It makes it look like a deity.

A solemn and overwhelming spiritual pressure quietly emerged, making it hard for him to breathe.

"True Spirit Dharma Form?"

Shen Xuan murmured.

A clear, melodious phoenix cry rang in my ears.

A crimson-gold flame suddenly appeared.

The Daoist aura that could incinerate all things swept over in an instant.

The entire demon realm was trembling.

Wherever it passed, everything was burned and turned into nothingness.

"The hundred breaths are almost up, Divine Bird, you are about to lose."

A flash of crimson light passed through Shen Xuan's eyes.

His body trembled, and he let out a dragon's roar that shook the heavens.

In an instant, Shen Xuan transformed into a thirty-foot-long Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

【Dragon Blood Boiling】When activated to its fullest extent, the dragon's murderous intent soars into the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The more than ten Ice Soul Crystals that had been prepared beforehand exploded with a bang, unleashing pure and ultimate ice spiritual power, forming an extremely cold Xuanbing Domain centered on the Xuanbing Divine Dragon within a radius of a hundred feet.

Within this realm, everything is frozen, and time stands still.

Faced with the surging crimson-gold demonic fire, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon opened its massive maw and spewed out a stream of azure-green Xuanbing dragon breath.

"laugh!"

Two completely opposite spiritual energies collided and annihilated each other.

The crimson-gold demonic flames gradually dimmed under the impact of the Xuanbing Dragon Breath.

The fiery firebird looked at Shen Xuan in surprise.

It lasted for more than ten breaths before the crimson-gold demonic fire was finally extinguished.

The man and the bird each manifested their true spiritual forms and gazed at each other.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The fiery bird finally came to its senses.

Just now, its full-force attack was enough to threaten any cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Shen Xuan, who was opposite him, was actually a body refiner at the half-step Divine Power Realm.

The Flaming Firebird showed an expression of disbelief and horror.

"Good lad, your Dharma form is the Mystic Ice Divine Dragon!"

"You have the bloodline of a divine dragon?"

"The fiery bird asked in amazement."

"Hmm. Lord Divine Bird, I won the bet?"

Shen Xuan couldn't forget the ten drops of essence blood.

"This……"

The Flaming Firebird was clearly unwilling.

However, as a spirit bird, it always keeps its promises, unlike humans who are untrustworthy.

"What's your name?"

"My Taoist name is Xuanbing."

"Alright, Xuanbing, do you really have to?"

Faced with this question, Shen Xuan replied decisively: "Absolutely."

"Ok."

The fiery bird spat out a stream of essence blood, exactly ten drops.

Shen Xuan carefully placed it in a jade bottle.

"Alright. Farewell, Divine Bird."

Having achieved their goal, they made their escape.

"Aren't you going to kill that Blackwater Demon Dragon?"

After sacrificing a portion of its essence and blood, the Flaming Firebird's aura noticeably weakened.

"Um……"

For a moment, Shen Xuan didn't know how to answer.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth.

"I was just about to go take a look."

"That Black Water Demon Dragon is very powerful!"

The fiery bird suddenly perked up and started chattering incessantly.

"Xuanbing, you can't beat it by yourself."

“I’ve been fighting it for hundreds of years, and I still haven’t been able to defeat it.”

Shen Xuan looked puzzled.

"My Lord Divine Bird, what do you mean?"

"Let's team up!"

The fiery bird flapped its wings, a fawning smile on its face.

"If you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to kill that Black Water Demon Dragon."

Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

The Blackwater Demon Dragon has been able to fight the Flaming Firebird for hundreds of years, so its strength should not be underestimated.

It should also be a top-tier, third-order item.

Lurking in the dark pool, stirring up trouble.

Ordinary cultivators have no way to deal with it.

He was originally a water-based cultivator, with a golden core in ice magic.

Honestly, Shen Xuan should be able to deal with the Black Water Demon Dragon.

Just to be on the safe side, joining forces with the Flaming Firebird is not out of the question.

However, the distribution of these spoils needs to be carefully considered.

"There's no need for that."

"I have some experience in dealing with demonic dragons."

Shen Xuan adopted a confident expression.

“Xuanbing, you don’t know, that Black Water Demon Dragon is really powerful!” “Its poisonous water is extremely toxic, and ordinary people can’t resist it.”

The fiery bird repeatedly tried to persuade him.

Shen Xuan then reluctantly proposed a plan for distributing the spoils of war.

After some haggling, Shen Xuan successfully obtained the dragon pill, essence blood, reverse scale, dragon tendons, dragon skin, and dragon horns.

Shen Xuan reluctantly gave the largest piece of dragon meat to the Flaming Firebird.

“My Lord Divine Bird, you took the largest piece; I only took some scraps.”

Shen Xuan said, feeling wronged.

"Don't worry. Xuanbing, I'll take the lead in the attack, and you can focus on the sneak attacks."

"It's a firebird," the firebird said reassuringly.

After the person and the bird reached an agreement.

Shen Xuan rested and recuperated in the sycamore grove.

The Flaming Firebird lost some of its essence and blood, and it also needs time to recover its spirit.

The two agreed to set off three days later.

"There's something I'd like to ask Lord Divine Bird."

"Just ask."

"This seems to be the Demon Realm. Why would Lord Divine Bird come here?"

The Flaming Firebird tilted its head and thought for a moment.

"I was born here."

"After I eat that black water demon dragon, I will be reborn from the flames and return to the spirit world."

"Return to the spirit world? Tell me about it."

Shen Xuan immediately became interested.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

The Flamebird simply instinctively felt that this would be the case.

We know very little about the spirit world.

All it knew was that its kind existed in the spirit world.

After being reborn from the ashes, they can return to their tribe.

As for the rest, he claimed to know nothing.

In other words, there are rules and restrictions in the Demon Realm that prevent fourth-level cultivators from entering.

Only then can it grow safely.

If they were outside, they would have been captured by the Nascent Soul True Monarch and the Demon Infant Ancestor long ago.

They will either become spirit pets or be broken down into materials.

"Therefore, the Flaming Firebird possesses the divine power of the Phoenix's Nirvana Fire, which allows it to be reborn from the ashes."

Thinking of this, Shen Xuan's heart was filled with turmoil.

"My Lord Divine Bird, could you give me some more essence blood?"

"no!"

The fiery firebird resolutely refused.

"Ten drops is already a lot. It will take me ten years to recover from these ten drops of essence blood."

"Would I exchange the Seven Hearts Bodhi for it?"

"Don't change!"

"Well, you can give me some of the feathers you usually shed, right?"

Shen Xuan settled for second best.

This time, the Flaming Firebird did not refuse.

Shen Xuan used Ice Soul Crystals to exchange for many old feathers of the Flaming Firebird.

Many of them were newly dropped, and there was a faint flow of fire elemental energy.

What Shen Xuan didn't expect was...

The Flaming Firebird actually quite likes the Ice Soul Crystal.

"My Lord Divine Bird, what do you need these Ice Soul Crystals for?"

"When it's hot, this little ice cube helps cool you down! It's quite interesting."

The Flaming Firebird looked completely at ease.

"Well, as long as you like it."

Shen Xuan was too lazy to complain.

The Ice Soul Crystal that he painstakingly condensed by consuming his primordial energy was merely a small trinket for the Flaming Firebird to cool it down.

Fortunately, he didn't lose money.

With just ten Ice Soul Crystals, he exchanged them for dozens of Flaming Firebird Feathers.

Three of them were its shed, original feathers.

Its rank is quite extraordinary.

It is an excellent material for refining wind and fire attribute spiritual weapons.

……

three days later.

early morning.

Shen Xuan and the Fiery Firebird flew to the edge of a canyon.

A dark pool of water, with a slightly fishy smell, came into view.

The pool is only a few dozen miles in size, and its water is deep and unfathomable.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful.

If it weren't for the many enormous, unidentified corpses piled up by the pool.

"Xuanbing, don't underestimate that Black Water Demon Dragon. Its black water is indeed very poisonous."

The Flaming Firebird issued repeated warnings.

Its three life-giving wings fell off on their own after being poisoned by the Black Water Demon Dragon's poison.

Otherwise, why would it be willing to exchange it for Ice Soul Crystal?

"My Lord Divine Bird, you've said it several times already."

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

As soon as he approached the Blackwater Pool, Shen Xuan seemed to sense something was amiss and looked directly at the pool.

"strangeness?"

Shen Xuan's soul was throbbing slightly.

Something very unusual seems to be hidden at the bottom of the pool.

It is definitely not the Blackwater Demon Dragon.

The sound of the Flaming Firebird rang in my ears once more.

It peered into the black pool, asking suspiciously, "Xuanbing, aren't you afraid of its deadly black water poison?"

"Not afraid."

"Good. That demonic dragon is deep at the bottom of the pool. It's skilled at stirring up storms and has incredible water magic. In a moment, lure it out and cut off its escape route."

"I'm definitely going to bake it thoroughly and eat it this time!"

"The fiery firebird said hatefully."

Clearly, it harbors deep resentment towards the Blackwater Demon Dragon.

"Xuanbing, you won't let me down, will you?"

"will not."

Shen Xuan said with great confidence.

"My Lord Divine Bird, please hide yourself and don't let it notice you. After I go in, I'll lure it out and finish this quickly. I sense that this Demon Realm is somewhat unstable; delay could lead to unforeseen changes."

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

"it is good!"

The Flaming Firebird shrank its size, transforming into a small, radiant bird, and flew to an ancient demon tree thirty miles east of the Blackwater Pool.

Shen Xuan memorized the location, waved to signal, and then his body swayed, transforming into a Xuanbing Divine Dragon, leaping into the Black Water Pool.

After transforming into a dragon, Shen Xuan's dragon eyes flashed with a violent and ferocious intent.

This is an inherent characteristic of the dragon bloodline.

If he hadn't practiced the "White Bone Contemplation Inner Visualization Method," it would have been difficult for him to suppress this primal, animalistic nature.

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon was thirty zhang long, its body covered with shimmering blue-green scales, and its two dragon horns on its head gleamed with a cold, eerie light, emitting a terrifying aura that could freeze everything.

The dragon's malevolent aura spread outwards.

There were originally some water monsters and demons in the Blackwater Pool, each with a different form.

However, sensing the murderous intent of the Xuanbing Divine Dragon, they desperately swam and fled.

The Mystic Ice Dragon ignored them.

It swam all the way down to the bottom of the pool.

Along the way, he unleashed his extraordinary talent for stirring up the sea, making the Blackwater Pool surge with waves.

The entire Blackwater Pool was boiling, with surging waves dozens of feet high, accompanying the Xuanbing Divine Dragon as it descended.

Not long after.

Accompanied by the powerful sound of waves.

An extremely oppressive atmosphere quietly spread.

A ferocious, pitch-black dragon appeared in his sight.

The dragon's body was also thirty feet long, with sturdy scales all over its body, and two dragon horns were beginning to take shape.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and savagery.

It is indeed a top-tier third-order item, about to take human form.

No wonder the Flaming Firebird couldn't take it down.

Monsters that have reached this level all have a strong sense of territory.

The Black Water Demon Dragon's vertical pupils narrowed into a single line, radiating a chilling light.

Shen Xuan was too lazy to waste words.

The Primordial Ice Spiritual Power was activated and began to circulate instantly.

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon opened its mouth and spewed a cold dragon breath towards the opposite side.

During the standoff, the Blackwater Demon Dragon became enraged, suddenly unleashing powerful demonic energy. It extended its sharp claws and snapped off the dragon's breath.

A layer of extremely yin and cold mystical ice spiritual power spread out from the dragon's claws.

The Black Water Demon Dragon roared, its demonic light suddenly blazing, and the Xuanbing spiritual power in its claws quietly vanished.

Then, the Blackwater Demon Dragon also opened its mouth.

A jet-black stream of demonic water, accompanied by a massive wave, shot head-on towards the Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

The dragon's malevolent intent grew even stronger.

The Mystic Ice Dragon unleashed its [Overturning Rivers and Seas] skill, stirring up waves that pushed backwards.

In an instant.

The Mystic Ice Dragon and the Black Water Demon Dragon were locked in a fierce battle at the bottom of the pool.

The water in the pool surged wildly, creating huge waves.

Soon, the battle seemed to reach a fever pitch.

The Black Water Demon Dragon was thoroughly enraged.

Every now and then, it would condense the highly toxic black water into a thin stream, intending to spray it onto the Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

Although Shen Xuan possesses the talent of "Immune to All Poisons" and has extremely high poison resistance.

However, they were unwilling to be touched by the highly poisonous black water and skillfully avoided it.

The Blackwater Demon Dragon's combat power is naturally enhanced when it is in the Blackwater Pool.

Shen Xuan played for a while.

I thought to myself.

It seems necessary to join forces with the Flaming Firebird.

He was confident that he could keep fighting the Black Water Demon Dragon on the other side.

Even at the bottom of this black pool, it might not be possible to completely kill it.

It would be worse if they escaped wounded.

Moreover, when faced with a life-or-death situation, the Blackwater Demon Dragon might still have a powerful move up its sleeve.

This kind of demonic dragon has an inherently strong vitality.

After thinking it over, Shen Xuan decided to proceed with the plan.

After taking a heavy blow from the Blackwater Demon Dragon, it pretended to be unable to withstand the attack and turned to run away.

The Black Water Demon Dragon, engrossed in its fight, was unwilling to let it go.

"boom!"

The pool water burst open, creating towering waves.

The enormous body of the Xuanbing Divine Dragon soared into the sky and fled eastward.

Behind them, the Black Water Demon Dragon, carrying a sky full of black water, rushed straight towards the fleeing Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

In the dense forest thirty miles away.

The fiery bird, which had been poised to pounce, let out a long cry, spread its wings, and unleashed a towering flame like a meteor from the heavens, transforming into a pillar of crimson-gold fire that enveloped the Black Water Demon Dragon.

"Moo!"

The Black Water Demon Dragon, caught in this ambush, let out a shrill cry, its scales emitting bursts of demonic energy to resist the invasion of the Crimson Gold Demon Fire.

Even a Tier 3 top-tier beast possesses intelligence.

At this moment, it was well aware that it had fallen into the trap set by the Mystic Ice Dragon.

He turned around and immediately wanted to retreat back into the black pool.

What greeted it was a millstone-sized, genuine purple-gold seal, which came crashing down on it.

The nine mystical ice dragons coiled on the treasure seal simultaneously spewed out ten thousand mystical ice flying swords, which converged into a surging sea of ​​ice swords, blocking his path.

At that moment, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon flickered and returned to its human form.

Shen Xuan flashed and appeared above the mouth of the pool, his hands forming a hand seal.

More than ten Ice Soul Crystals shot into the Black Water Pool, and the extreme cold ice spiritual power erupted.

In an instant, the entire Black Water Pool froze into a mirror-like surface, revealing icebergs tens of feet high.

Such solid ice is so strong that even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would not be able to break through it in a short time.

The fiery red-gold demonic fire of the Fiery Bird cannot be broken without burning for several hours.

Shen Xuan's actions completely blocked the Black Water Demon Dragon's escape route.

"Divine Bird, I have cut off their retreat. Defeat them quickly and show no mercy!"

Shen Xuan said loudly.

The enraged Blackwater Demon Dragon charged straight at them.

A burst of lightning erupted from Shen Xuan's body as he used lightning to teleport behind the Flaming Firebird.

"Okay! Watch me!"

next moment.

Shen Xuan saw the Flaming Firebird unleash its ultimate attack, its feathers standing on end in a dazzling display of colors.

Behind it, the phantom image of the divine bird phoenix reappeared.

He channeled all his spiritual energy into a cluster of crimson-gold flames and flew toward the Black Water Demon Dragon.

After counting the interest.

The flames surged, transforming into a sea of ​​fire, swirling around the Black Water Demon Dragon.

A terrifying Daoist aura, capable of incinerating everything and never being extinguished, spread out and rapidly intensified.

Everything that was touched burst into flames.

Neither the magic potion nor the poisonous water could be spared.

"Moo!"

The Black Water Demon Dragon let out a painful roar.

Amidst the raging flames, it continuously spewed out black water to contend with the crimson-gold demonic fire.

Each stream of black water can weaken the power and intensity of the Crimson Gold Demon Fire.

However, the fiery bird kept fanning the flames and injecting spiritual energy.

Two hours later.

As time went by, the demonic power within the Black Water Demon Dragon's body diminished.

"Xuanbing, stop watching and make your move!"

The fiery firebird, panting heavily, cried out in anger.

It was exhausted.

The spiritual energy within his body was almost completely depleted.
