Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 735 - 719: Immortal Demon Battle [5]

The dark cyan treasure bottle tilted downward, pouring out a large amount of pitch-black demonic water, extinguishing Zhouyang's Qianyang True Flame in large areas.

The gray-black demon banner swayed in the air, releasing vast amounts of gray-black demonic mist, transforming into various demons that rushed toward the cultivators.

This demonic mist was eerie and powerful, possessing a strong ability to corrode and assimilate, even capable of transforming a cultivator's magical techniques into its own power. Only the extreme yang attribute power could resist this assimilation and disperse it.

Master Cyan Yang took on this heavy responsibility.

He had already put away the Profound Sun Thunder-Attracting Sword, focusing on manipulating the Great Sun Golden Wheel to unleash a sky-full of blazing sun light to combat the corrosion of the demonic mist.

But he could only help everyone resist the slowly moving gray-black demonic mist; he was powerless against sneak attacks from the elusive black demon spear and the swift, eerie ghost head long saber. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Fortunately, besides him, Zhouyang and the other three were actually stronger than him in individual strength, and they placed great importance on their own protection, all guarded by high-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.

However, even with a four-on-one situation, they were still beaten down by the demon called Celestial Corpse Ascendant to the point where they dared not show themselves. This situation left the four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators very displeased.

Zhouyang especially so.

He looked at the dark cyan demon bottle with a troubled expression, eyes full of suspicion.

If not for the fact that the black demonic water that poured out could extinguish the Qianyang True Flame, he would not be so passive at this moment.

And although based on his knowledge, he could not identify the origin of the black demonic water, he knew it was a yin-attribute demonic water of extreme coldness and not something that the treasure bottle could generate, as the dark cyan treasure bottle was merely a container.

Originally, realizing this, he planned to expend the black demonic water slowly, as his Qianyang True Flame was entirely transformed from his own magical power. As long as his magical power was not exhausted, he could generate it at any time.

However, after some exchanges, seeing the Celestial Corpse Ascendant's reckless act of spreading the water, he realized that the amount of demonic water in that dark cyan treasure bottle was far beyond his previous estimation.

In other words, he might not outlast the opponent.

Upon realizing this, Zhouyang knew in his heart that he had to give it his all.

With a cold glint in his eyes, he waved his hand to put away the Haoyang Treasure Mirror and the Thick Earth Heaven-Sealing Seal, which were not very effective in this battle, and then opened his mouth to summon out the Qianyang Treasure Pearl.

Boom!

With a dazzling golden flame shimmering on the battlefield, as Zhouyang injected a large amount of magical power into the Qianyang Treasure Pearl, this damaged tier-seven immortal artifact finally radiated its unique brilliance.

"Fall!"

With a shout from Zhouyang, the Qianyang Treasure Pearl, already transformed into a golden blazing sun in the sky, streaked like a meteor towards the three-headed six-armed monster that the Celestial Corpse Ascendant had transformed into.

This time, wherever the golden blazing sun passed, the black demonic water pouring in its path was directly vaporized into smoke, no longer holding its previous might.

Seeing this, the three-headed six-armed monster roared angrily, the lion head on the left opened wide, and a beam of filthy black demon light shot out, colliding head-on with the rapidly flying golden blazing sun.

Under the corruption of this black demon light, the golden blazing sun's brilliance dimmed considerably, and Zhouyang, connected to the artifact, was directly invaded by a deathly, cold will into his primordial spirit, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.

Fortunately, once his primordial spirit sensed the attack, his refined primordial spiritual treasure was stimulated, releasing a force to stabilize his trembling primordial spirit.

"Hah!"

He let out a low shout, once again exerting force to urge the Qianyang Treasure Pearl.

Instantly, the golden blazing sun, previously hindered, exploded with brilliant flames once more, continuing to surge forward.

The three-headed six-armed monster clearly hadn't expected that Zhouyang could still drive the golden blazing sun forward under its lifebound divine technique attack.

So much so that when it tried to make some remedial actions, the golden blazing sun had already reached it.

It only had time to point the black demon spear in its hand forward before being engulfed by the endless flame.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Roars full of pain and rage resounded continually. After directly enduring Zhouyang's full-force strike, the three-headed six-armed monster was finally injured.

When it struggled out from the golden sea of flames, most of its body had suffered severe burns, with festering wounds continuously seeping black, foul blood.

Originally, such injuries, though frightening, were not very serious for the regeneratively powerful three-headed six-armed monster. Given some time to expel the residual alien power from the wounds, it would soon fully recover.

But how could the enemy let it have such an opportunity?

Nie Yushuang and Guo Huaiyang, upon witnessing the power of Zhouyang's strike, realized this was an excellent opportunity to break the stalemate.

Therefore, when the golden blazing sun struck the three-headed six-armed monster, both of them unleashed their finishing moves for a combined attack.

Nie Yushuang spat out a mouthful of white frost that transformed into an energy arrow, shooting towards the three-headed six-armed monster.

This white frost seemed unimpressive but was actually the renowned great divine technique Frost Nether Qi of the Profound Nether Immortal Sect, with the terrifying power to freeze all.

Moreover, Nie Yushuang, to amplify this divine technique's power, didn't hesitate to burn primordial qi using her lifebound Cold Yuan to activate it.

Though its power still could not rival the Silent Extinction Profound Nether Divine Light, it was very close.

The white energy arrow flashed quickly, hitting the three-headed six-armed monster just as it escaped the fiery sea, freezing it directly.

Simultaneously, Guo Huaiyang let out a loud shout, drew his bow, and shot an arrow at the frozen three-headed six-armed monster.

The bow in his hand was a renowned spiritual artifact in the Liuyun Continent Cultivation Realm, named Thunder Shock Bow, with a tier-six middle grade, the bow arms made from the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Thunder Bamboo, and the bowstring crafted from the sinew of a tier-six middle grade Silver Flood Dragon combined with Celestial Thunder Profound Gold.

This bow originally required no arrows; a cultivator could pull its string with magical power to unleash thunderbolt arrows.

Now Guo Huaiyang had hung an arrow on the bowstring, clearly indicating that the arrow was no ordinary item.

This is indeed the case.

The arrow fired by Guo Huaiyang is known as the "Celestial Thunder Immortal-Slaying Arrow," which is itself a Tier Six Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact and was specifically refined to accompany the "Thunder Shock Bow."

This "Celestial Thunder Immortal-Slaying Arrow" was also made using "Ten Thousand Years Celestial Thunder Bamboo" as material, allowing it to withstand the infusion of power from the "Thunder Shock Bow" and unleash unparalleled Thunder Power.

At this moment, Guo Huaiyang shot an arrow, and before Zhouyang could even see the shadow of the arrow, a tremendous explosion was heard from the direction of the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

When he turned to look, he saw a purple-blue arrow already embedded deep in the chest of the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster, with less than half an inch of the arrow's tail exposed.

The gigantic sound was the result of the explosive Thunder Power contained within the arrow clashing with the Demonic Qi on the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

Flame, Ice, Thunder — three distinct elemental forces affected the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster in succession, causing injuries no single force could match.

Especially the last arrow by Guo Huaiyang.

The power of that arrow erupted from within the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster, the powerful Thunder Power almost tearing the monster's body apart.

Simultaneously, as the Thunder Power drew in almost all of the monster's strength, the remaining Yang Fire Power and Ice Power infiltrated, causing secondary damage and severely injuring its physical body.

If it weren't for this Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Body's state of "Celestial Corpse Ascendant," with a body as strong as a Demon Beast of the same tier, it would have to abandon its physical body to save the Nascent Soul.

"While he's down, finish him off, don't give this demon any chance to recover!"

Nie Yushuang shouted amidst ragged breaths and raised his hand, summoning the "Cangming Pendant," a Profound Nether Immortal Sect heirloom Artifact that had been used by Master Feixue to seal a Magical Technique, "Celestial Frost Profound Nether Finger."

Then he tossed it into the air, sending out a spell. Blue-white Ice Light burst out from the "Cangming Pendant," forming a blue-white finger inscribed with countless complex and mysterious runes, pointing towards the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

Seeing this, Guo Huaiyang gritted his teeth and drew the string of the "Thunder Shock Bow," infusing most of his Magical Power into it, condensing three Thunder Arrows composed entirely of blue-purple Thunder, shooting them at the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

And due to the monster's grievous wounds, it was unable to drive the gray-black Demon Banner for an attack. Thus, Master Cyan Yang, who was no longer needed to disperse those gray-black Demon Clouds, was free to join in the assault.

He pointed at the "Great Sun Golden Wheel," and the golden wheel spun in the air, spewing forth fire, erupting into a golden fire pillar blasting at the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

Zhouyang, having depleted himself through the "Qianyang Treasure Pearl," was now unable to launch any substantial offense.

But he still had an External Incarnation to wield.

Under his command, a flash of Lightning appeared in the purple eyes of his Incarnation, and two thumb-thick purple Celestial Thunders shot out from its closing eyes, charging directly at the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster.

This External Incarnation of his was based on the "Heart of the Tree Demon," which was left behind after a Tier Six Tree Demon failed the True Spirit Celestial Tribulation.

This "Heart of the Tree Demon," having withstood the Celestial Tribulation Thunder and being sanctified, underwent a mutation to become a Wood and Thunder dual-attribute Spiritual Object, containing rare Tribulation Thunder Power.

After refining an External Incarnation with this "Heart of the Tree Demon" and achieving Nascent Soul Cultivation, the Tribulation Thunder Power could finally be harnessed, becoming a unique Talent Divine Technique of his Incarnation.

In terms of quantity, the Tribulation Thunder Power unleashed by his Incarnation was not much, far inferior to the True Spirit Celestial Tribulation he had witnessed, and even less than the "Celestial Thunder Pearl" he crafted with Tribulation Thunder Power.

But it was, after all, Tribulation Thunder Power, unmatched in quality by any other Thunder Technique Divine Techniques.

Though he acted last, the two purple Celestial Thunders struck the monster, second only to the three Thunder Arrows from Guo Huaiyang.

His chosen target was astutely where the "Celestial Thunder Immortal-Slaying Arrow" was embedded in the monster.

Just as he anticipated, the moment the two purple Celestial Thunders hit the monster, they broke through its Dharma Body defenses and penetrated within.

Attracted by these two high-quality purple Celestial Thunders, the Thunder Power still surging on the monster gravitated toward them, much like sharks drawn to the scent of blood.

This amassed Thunder Power, uninfluenced by anyone, was guided directly into the Three-Headed Six-Armed Monster's heart by the "Celestial Thunder Immortal-Slaying Arrow."

Simultaneously, the paralysis effect from the abundant Thunder Power, along with the freezing effect from Nie Yushuang's earlier Frost Nether Qi, rendered the monster totally helpless to move, just able to watch the incoming blue-white finger and golden fire pillar hit its body.

Boom!

When the forces of ice and flame merged, a violent explosion ensued due to the elemental opposition in their nature.

The terrifying power of ice and flame rampaged, annihilating all ice and boulders within a dozen miles around the monster, completely obliterating its already crumbling Dharma Body.

"Oh no, that demon's Nascent Soul has escaped!"

Before the light of the explosion dissipated, Zhouyang heard Nie Yushuang's voice filled with shock and anger.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, his expression changed drastically, he quickly used the "Separation Fire Golden Eye" to scan the surroundings, spotting a nine-inch-tall black Nascent Soul, surrounded by several Spiritual Artifacts, flashing out of the explosion center into a nearby Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Demon Corpse clad in black Demon Armor.

It turned out the "Celestial Corpse Ascendant," having been hit by the "Celestial Thunder Immortal-Slaying Arrow," had sensed something amiss and summoned back the External Incarnation Demon Corpse he had set to dig an escape route to intercept.

Though the External Incarnation did not arrive in time to preserve its Dharma Body, it did manage to catch the escaping Nascent Soul, providing a gleam of hope for survival.

An External Incarnation is initially a precautionary measure Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators take in case their physical body is destroyed, serving as a backup vessel for their Nascent Soul, with no compatibility issues.

With the "Celestial Corpse Ascendant's" Nascent Soul temporarily residing within the Demon Corpse, not only could it elevate the Incarnation's cultivation to Late-Stage Nascent Soul but could also seek a suitable body for possession if this had not been previously attempted.

No rejection occurred as the "Celestial Corpse Ascendant's" Nascent Soul merged with and took over the Incarnation.

He opened his pair of blood-red Demon Eyes filled with resentment and rage, glaring at Nie Yushuang and others, roaring furiously, "Nie Yushuang, you have forced this upon me. From this day forth, I shall remain no longer human!"

Before his roar ended, he summoned a pitch-black Jade Bottle into his hand and instantly swallowed it whole, shattering the bottle with his teeth, ingesting the True Demon Blood contained within.
