Chapter 579 - 188: Next, Let’s Break Through to Nascent Soul!
Other than these two treasures, the rest are ordinary items.
Adding in the Fish Fin Sword set, the Tier Four Demon Pill, and more, Zhou Xun’s wealth has more than doubled on this trip alone.
It’s just a pity that this Demon Pill is of Water Attribute, which doesn’t match Zhou Xun’s attribute. Even if refined into a Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir, its value would significantly decrease.
"Well then, once I form my Nascent Soul, I’ll head to Sea Suppression Immortal City and exchange this pill for one of Wood Attribute!"
As for Thunder Attribute, these Demon Beasts are far fewer in number than others, so their price is higher. It’s probably not that easy to do a one-for-one exchange.
Next, Zhou Xun took out the massive Tier Four Demon Shark and completely cleaned and dissected it,
obtaining a huge Tier Four Demon Shark skin.
To his surprise, this Shark actually condensed a Fish Stone, which is an extremely rare Spirit Material,
even more valuable than that Demon Pill,
whether used for Alchemy or Artifact Refining, Tier Four Fish Stones are top-tier materials.
It was truly an unexpected delight.
After organizing all the treasures, Zhou Xun took out a Jade Scroll that contained Nascent Soul Formation Insights and continued studying,
and so, another month passed by.
...
On this day,
Suddenly, there was a disturbance from the Blood Demon Bag at his waist,
which instantly awakened Zhou Xun, so he took off the Blood Demon Bag at his waist to check:
Only to see those Blood Demon Children had grown a bit taller, their surroundings flashing with red light,
their aura was extraordinary, now reaching Tier Three High Grade!
Zhou Xun’s heart was stirred!
With a tap on the Blood Bag, the five Blood Demon Children turned into streaks of red light and flew out, suspended before Zhou Xun.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Children’s aura was extremely intense, surrounded by streaks of blood light, and the black lines on their faces were profoundly mysterious, seemingly containing some kind of heaven and earth principles.
Zhou Xun flicked a finger, sending a streak of green Qi Force onto Jia’er’s arm,
"Ding!"
A crisp sound followed.
"Not bad, it is indeed Tier Three High Grade!" Zhou Xun was extremely satisfied.
This means that Jia’er has successfully advanced to Tier Three High Grade, able to contend alone against Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivators without being at a disadvantage.
The same steps were followed as Zhou Xun checked Jia San, Jia Si, and Jia Wu, and to his delight,
all five Blood Demon Children had advanced to Tier Three High Grade!
"I didn’t expect, before forming my Nascent Soul, the Blood Demon Children have also succeeded in advancing!"
Seeing the five tall figures in front of him, Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
He took them directly from Celestial Talisman Island to an uninhabited island thousands of miles away.
He wanted to test their true strength, to see if employing the Blood Demon Joint Attack Secret Technique, they could truly rival a True Monarch of Nascent Soul Level!
If so, he would have an additional Nascent Soul Level fighter at his disposal.
With a tap on his waist, five Blood Demon Children about ten feet tall appeared in the air, standing in Five Elements positions,
while Zhou Xun stood opposite them, a Thunder Sword suspended before him, surrounded by thirty-six Thunder Seeds.
Zhou Xun formed a spell with his hand, pointing at the Blood Demon Children,
and saw the horns atop these Blood Demon Children’s heads flash with red light, instantly enveloping them,
next,
a towering figure emerged, clad in blood-colored battle armor with swirling blood light all around, black runes covering its body, standing more than ten feet high,
these five Blood Demon Children had fused into one, becoming a ’Blood Demon General.’
"Good!" Judging by the aura it emitted, it had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage level!
"Let’s see what you’re made of!"
"Go!"
The Profound Thunder Sword transformed into a stream of light, stabbing forward!
"Roar!"
The Blood Demon General let out a roar, clenching its fists surrounded by streaks of red light, and struck towards the incoming Profound Thunder Sword.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound rang out, like metal clashing,
The Profound Thunder Sword was deflected, but its arm remained unscathed, with only a faint white mark visible.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun was not surprised but delighted, never expecting the Blood Demon General’s physical body to be so formidable,
capable of withstanding the Profound Thunder Sword head-on!
Though this strike was casually executed and did not employ the Sword Shadow Technique to enhance its power,
it was nearly equivalent to an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator’s attack!
Additionally, the Profound Thunder Sword itself was of High-Grade Level,
Such an attack could not even penetrate the Blood Demon General’s defense, proving its extraordinary prowess.
"Excellent, the defensive prowess of this Joint Attack Secret Technique is beyond my imagination,"
"Next, let’s see if it can withstand the Sword Shadow Unification Secret Technique’s augmentation!"
"We shall see how strong your defense truly is!"
Zhou Xun clapped his hands and laughed,
"Sword Shadow Unification!" he shouted lightly,
Nine streaks of Sword Light suspended and rose, surrounding Zhou Xun’s body,
then Zhou Xun altered his spell,
these Sword Lights merged into the Profound Thunder Sword one by one, for each fusion, the Thunder Sword’s power increased by a fraction!
All nine merged, the power increased by twenty percent!
The entire sword became extremely bright, like a Light Sword,
the sword trembled slightly, emitting a faint humming, as if excited for the impending collision,
"Go!"
Zhou Xun lightly pointed at the Blood Demon General across from him!
The Profound Thunder Sword transformed into a purple light, streaking across the sky, shooting forth!
Under Zhou Xun’s command, the Blood Demon General did not attack directly but crossed its forearms in a defensive stance!
"Ding—"
Under Zhou Xun’s control, the Thunder Sword collided heavily with the Blood Demon General’s forearms,
generating a crisp metallic clash sound.
"It’s actually blocked so easily!"
Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be surprised, immediately flying over to check, only to see a tiny white mark on its forearm.
"The first layer was effortlessly blocked, next let’s test the second layer!"
Following that, Zhou Xun repeated the process, the Thunder Sword, reinforced by twenty-seven Sword Lights, collided with the Blood Demon General’s forearms again,
this time, a grain-sized wound appeared.
However, with a flash of red light, this wound quickly healed as if it was,
"Not only is its defense amazing, but its recovery ability is also unmatched!"
Zhou Xun was overjoyed,
once more deploying the third layer of the Sword Shadow Unification technique!
A total of eighty-one Sword Lights enhanced its power, the entire Treasure Sword gleamed like lightning!
"Boom!"
The same spot, the Thunder Sword struck again,
this time, the sword tip pierced two inches, finally shattering the Blood Demon General’s defense!
"It seems now, the Blood Demon General’s strength is comparable to the Peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators!"
This is definitely a solid Nascent Soul Level fighter, and thinking this, Zhou Xun was ecstatic.
More importantly, the Blood Demon Children could continue to advance, now being in the early Tier Three High Grade with such power,
if they enter Tier Three Peak in the future,
or even break through to Tier Four, what kind of scene would that be, perhaps capable of contending with Great Cultivators.
...
Back at the Cave Mansion again, Zhou Xun took out the Nascent Soul Formation Insights for study,
after two months, Zhou Xun finally finished studying all available Nascent Soul Formation Insights,
reflecting on all the key aspects of Nascent Soul Formation, Zhou Xun felt familiar with them,
"So be it, the next step is preparing to breach into Nascent Soul!"
