Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms: Sunflower Lord

Welcome to the fantastical world of Xianxia novels! The entrance is here:

The monster, covered in jet-black scales, defied the purifying light that could obliterate even the armored corpse, and charged to within three zhang of Ji Ruchang!

From the gaps in its scales, crimson light flickered wildly, and billowing black smoke rose from its entire body—the power of light was frantically eroding its body!

But it didn't stop.

In its golden pupils, there was only Ji Ruchang—only this prey that exuded vibrant human energy and made it instinctively yearn for her.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ji Ruchang moved.

The Mountain-Driving Whip in his hand seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit and trembled violently!

The two-foot-long stone whip instantly grew larger!

One section, two sections, three sections... In the blink of an eye, the short whip that was originally four feet and nine inches long has transformed into a long whip with forty-nine sections that is more than ten feet long!

Each section was as thick as a thigh, grayish in color, yet exuded a chilling aura of power!

At the tip of the whip, light condensed, faintly transforming into the phantom of a roaring behemoth!

That's... a dragon?

Ji Ruchang didn't have time to look closely.

He gripped the whip with both hands, and the eighty-three strands of true essence and magical power within his body circulated wildly. The starlight true essence poured into the Mountain-Driving Whip like a floodgate being opened!

"drink--!"

A whip lashed down fiercely!

"boom--!!!"

The whip, carrying immense power and amplified by the entire realm of light, slammed into the monster's massive head as it charged towards them!

The sound wasn't the "swoosh" of a sword piercing flesh, nor the "thud" of a hammer striking, but a deeper, more resounding one—

"Bang!"

Like a mountain collapsing, like thunder striking the ground!

The monster's momentum was abruptly interrupted!

Its head, covered in jet-black scales, was struck by the whip and snapped back violently, letting out a shrill roar!

Scales shattered, flesh and blood mangled!

But its skull was not broken!

That thing was ridiculously hard!

Ji Ruchang's pupils contracted slightly, but her hands continued moving without stopping.

The second lash followed immediately!

He used all his strength in this whip strike—not just ordinary strength, but a strike that burned almost all the true essence in his thirty-six star apertures, squeezing out every bit of potential!

"boom!!!"

The whip tip landed with perfect precision in the same spot where the first lash had struck!

The scales there were already broken.

The flesh and blood there were already blurred.

The skull there already had cracks.

With that whip—

"Snap!"

The sound of the skull shattering was clearly audible!

The monster let out a deafening scream, its massive body swaying precariously, its steps faltering as if it were drunk.

Within the realm of light, the omnipresent purifying power is taking advantage of the situation and frantically invading the wound on its head!

It was powerless to resist.

The third lash!

Ji Ruchang gritted his teeth, squeezed out the last bit of true energy from his dantian, and lashed out with the whip once more!

The whip tip transformed into a blur, carrying all his power, and slammed into the crater in the already shattered skull!

"Bang!!!"

The monster's head finally gave way.

Its massive body suddenly stiffened.

The golden pupils slowly lost their luster.

Then--

He collapsed to the ground with a thud!

The monster fell.

But Ji Ruchang knew that it was not dead.

Within the realm of light, the monster's massive body was still twitching slightly, billowing black smoke, as the power of light relentlessly eroded its form.

But it is still alive, just temporarily unconscious.

Monsters of this caliber possess an astonishingly strong vitality.

I could wake up at any time.

It could erupt at any moment.

Ji Ruchang was panting heavily, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

The three consecutive lashes exhausted almost all of his true energy.

At this moment, the seven main spiritual threads in his dantian were dim and lifeless, and the thirty-six acupoints were all emitting waves of empty, stinging pain.

But he can't stop.

We must finish them off.

He took out his flaming blade, took a deep breath, and walked up to the monster's head.

That enormous head was bigger than his entire body. In the shattered crater, flesh and blood were mangled, and white bone fragments were faintly visible.

Ji Ruchang gripped the knife with both hands, aimed at the crack, and stabbed down fiercely!

"clang!"

The blade penetrated three-tenths of an inch into the flesh before it became stuck!

The monster's hide was as tough as an armored rhinoceros!

More terrifying than a rhinoceros.

Although the Flame Blade was a low-grade magic weapon, it was incredibly sharp, but it couldn't even completely pierce the monster's skin!

Ji Ruchang gritted her teeth, poured in her true energy, and desperately pressed down.

The blade penetrated another inch.

But it still didn't hit the nail on the head.

The monster's massive body twitched slightly.

It's waking up!

Ji Ruchang felt a chill run down her spine.

That's too late.

He sheathed his flaming blade and gripped his mountain-driving whip once more.

This time, there's no need to enlarge the whip.

Holding the two-foot-long stone whip, he aimed it at the crater in the already shattered skull and, with his last bit of strength, plunged it in!

"puff!"

The whip, like a red-hot iron rod, plunged into the tallow, instantly sinking a third of the way in!

The monster's body suddenly stiffened!

Then, a violent convulsion!

Its golden pupils suddenly snapped open!

It's waking up!

It's going to rebel!

but--

That's too late.

The Mountain-Driving Whip, inside its skull, suddenly unleashed a terrifying power!

That power was more deadly than any sword or blade!

The monster let out a final, desperate roar, its massive body convulsed a few times, and then—

It stopped moving completely.

The golden pupils slowly lost their luster.

This time, he was truly dead.

The moment the monster died, everything changed!

Its massive body, like a sand sculpture on a beach, rapidly disintegrated from the edges as it was washed away by the rising tide!

Black smoke billowed from the scales, flesh turned to nothingness, and bones turned to dust.

The speed at which it collapsed was astonishing.

In less than three breaths, the enormous body, which was more than ten feet long, completely disappeared into the light.

Only three items remained in the original location.

Two enormous bull horns, crooked and black as ink, with faint golden patterns flowing across their surface.

Each one is as tall as half a person, incredibly heavy, and exudes an ancient and fierce aura.

A seed the size of a fist, pure white like jade, with intricate patterns faintly visible on its surface, radiating a gentle glow.

The light was somewhat similar to that of the golden sunflower, yet it carried an indescribable difference.

But Ji Ruchang recognized it; it was the scent of the Holy Sunflower!

But this seed is plumper.

A huge cowhide, the very scales covering the monster's body.

The scales were jet black, with scarlet lines between them, and some unidentified hairs protruding from between the scales.

The entire piece of leather, when laid out, was about ten feet square. It was incredibly tough to the touch, and faint energy fluctuations could be felt flowing through it.

Three items lay quietly in the light.

Ji Ruchang didn't have time to look closely.

He picked them all up in one go, turned around and ran!

Behind him, the crescent-shaped stone gate was slammed shut by his divine sense!

"Bang!"

The stone gate was tightly closed.

Behind the door, the faint roars of other monsters could be heard, but they couldn't chase after us.

Ji Ruchang leaned against the inside of the stone gate, panting heavily, her body covered in cold sweat.

His true energy was almost depleted.

Its strength was almost completely drained.

I felt weak and dizzy.

but--

He survived.

Ji Ruchang did not rush to check the harvest.

He staggered back to the dry well in the northwest corner, and before he could even jump in, he sat down by the well and began to recover.

Close your eyes.

The thirty-six star apertures slowly rotated.

The gentle light from the five sunflowers fell upon him.

A bronze mirror floated above his head, and the remnants of a fallen star rotated silently. Together with the sunflowers, they began to replenish his nearly depleted dantian.

Strands of pure spiritual energy surged in from all directions and entered his body.

A gentle, moist essence of the sun emanated from the sunflower and was absorbed by him.

True essence began to slowly recover.

(There will be more this afternoon! Please!)
