Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 810 - 793: I’ll Be Back!

The brutal massacre did not occur.

Although Zhouyang harbored deep hatred for the Dragon Taming Family, he would not become a bloodthirsty maniac, killing even the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators who posed no threat to him.

Previously, in order to quickly break the array and kill the middle-to-low tier cultivators, it could be said that those people were his enemies. Now, after breaking the array and intruding, there was no need to create more slaughter.

Therefore, after he and his avatar respectively slew two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators on the mountain, he only killed some Golden Core Stage Cultivators who couldn't escape in time before destroying the Mountain Protection Array from the inside, driving those middle-to-low tier cultivators away.

"The three of you stay here to guard the entrance and loot things, while I go down to see if this is indeed a dragon's den and tiger's lair!"

On Spirit Mountain, Zhouyang drove off the cultivators on the mountain and reached the edge of a pool, giving new orders to the three demon servants following him.

According to the account of the two betraying Flood Dragons, each Spirit Mountain on the Five Dragon Islands had such a deep dragon pool that led directly to the underground Spirit Lake, where the direct lineage members of the Dragon Taming Family cultivated.

This was originally to facilitate the Dragon Taming Family's direct lineage members in traveling between the islands and to support and monitor various islands.

Unfortunately, Zhouyang had been attacking from outside for one or two hours without seeing any direct lineage members of the Dragon Taming Family come out to provide support, leaving him wondering what those guys hiding below were planning.

Since these guys were too afraid to come out, Zhouyang had no choice but to go down and find them personally.

Anyway, all the information he had gathered indicated that the Dragon Taming Family did not have another Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" realm cultivator.

Without an opponent of that level, Zhouyang did not feel he was in any danger.

As per the old rule, he let his avatar go down first to lead the way, with Zhouyang himself following closely behind.

As they descended, Zhouyang could feel the Spiritual Qi in the pool water becoming more and more abundant, presumably getting closer to the underground Spirit Lake.

After diving for approximately three or four thousand feet, the vision in front of Zhouyang's avatar suddenly widened, revealing a vast underwater region.

Even though he had already learned about this underground Spirit Lake from the two betraying Flood Dragons, being there in person still left Zhouyang in awe, marveling at the luck of the Dragon Taming Family's ancestors in finding such an otherworldly Immortal Realm for the clan.

That's right, an otherworldly Immortal Realm!

The underground Spirit Lake was not only filled with lake water but also had islands, flowers, trees, and plants!

The space occupied by the underground Spirit Lake was half water and half hollow void, with many Moonlight Pearls suspended from the top of the void for illumination, each as big as an adult's head, with the white moonlight they emitted brightening thousands of feet of the surrounding water.

Although such Moonlight Pearls were not rare items, they were treasures that could only be produced by a Tier Four Clam Demon after a thousand years of nurturing.

Now, scanning the entire underground Spirit Lake space for illumination, there might be a thousand Moonlight Pearls in view!

This alone highlighted the stark difference in heritage between a prestigious thousand-year-old family like the Dragon Taming Family and a newly established family like the Zhou Family, putting them in entirely different tiers.

Not to mention, on the Immortal Island within Zhouyang's line of sight, there were various Tier Five and Tier Six spirit herbs and precious spirit fruits.

His avatar now possessed a special talent, allowing it to sense the immense vitality contained within high-tier spirit elixirs and Spirit Wood within a hundred miles and to determine their specific grade based on the strength of vitality emitted by these spirit plants.

This method of judging the grade of spirit plants based on vitality is far from flawless, but it is roughly accurate.

Now, within his avatar's perception, there were at least one hundred or more Tier Six Spirit Plants on that Immortal Island!

This was extremely terrifying!

Even when Zhouyang initially arrived at [Donglai Immortal Island], there were not so many Tier Six Spirit Plants.

This was largely because the Immortal Island was unvisited and unattended for thousands of years, leading to such a situation.

But this comparison also showed just how wealthy the Dragon Taming Family truly was!

And this only intensified Zhouyang's desire to destroy the Dragon Taming Family!

The quickest way to accumulate wealth is undoubtedly through plunder!

To have amassed such wealth, the Dragon Taming Family must have plundered many others and forces.

For Zhouyang, the most crucial point was that he would feel no psychological burden or guilt about plundering the Dragon Taming Family's wealth.

But just as Zhouyang formed such thoughts, one after another, powerful and malicious auras began to converge on him from all directions.

He soared above the water, eyes glowing with fire as he scanned around, soon identifying the owners of those malicious auras.

They were none other than fourteen Tier Six Demon Kings revealing their true forms!

Among these Tier Six Demon Kings were Flood Dragons, giant crocodiles, single-horned giant turtles, and silver-white eels with electrical sparks, each with more or less Jiao Dragon bloodline.

What truly made Zhouyang's expression change, however, were the three Tier Six Top Grade Demon Kings among them.

These three demon kings had the true forms of a black Ink Flood Dragon, a giant blue-white crocodile with a dragon body and crocodile head, and a massive octopus with black dragon scales on its forehead.

The aura emitted by the black Ink Flood Dragon was no weaker than that of the Cyan Scale Demon King, the Celestial South Great Demon, likely a peak great demon with strength equivalent to a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul "Half-Step True Immortal" realm cultivator!

"Are the three demon kings also demon servants reared by the Dragon Taming Family?"

Zhouyang asked sternly, staring at the three Tier Six Top Grade Demon Kings, utterly shocked in his heart.

This was far from the situation he had initially understood.

If he had known such a lineup existed below, he would never have come to Five Dragon Island so quickly.

"Human, what's the point of asking such questions now? Since you dared to come here, you shall remain here forever!"

A cold voice echoed from where the Dragon Scale Octopus resided, and suddenly a thick blue array light curtain appeared over the waterway Zhouyang had passed through, while a strong Power of Forbidden Sky descended upon him, trying to pull and drag him down into the lake.

"If you want to trap me, you're not qualified enough!"

Zhouyang shouted loudly, his hands forming sword techniques, causing thirty-six Great Derivation Celestial Spirit Swords to shoot toward the fourteen demon kings in pairs. Each of the three Tier Six Top Grade Demon Kings received special attention, facing double the flying sword attacks.

Meanwhile, Zhouyang's avatar controlled the Wood Thunder Element Token to launch an attack on the array light curtain blocking the waterway.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

One after another, the roars of enraged demon beasts echoed through the underground Spirit Lake space.

None of the fourteen Demon Kings expected that Zhouyang would be so audacious as to launch an attack against them all simultaneously. For a moment, they were all enraged by his boldness, and each one roared as they unleashed their signature divine techniques in retaliation.

Water Dragon, Ice Light, Poison Water, Thunder and Lightning...

All sorts of attribute divine techniques were launched at Zhouyang, filling the space above the underground Spirit Lake with multi-colored magic spiritual light.

Even with Zhouyang's current strength, he couldn't remain indifferent to the attacks from so many Tier Six Demon Kings.

His face changed drastically as he shouted and summoned the [Qianyang Golden Tower], leaping into the treasure tower and then controlling it to crash toward the waterway exit.

The innate divine techniques of the Tier Six Demon Kings struck the golden treasure tower one by one, causing it to resound with continuous booms and shakes, yet unable to truly break its defenses.

"Hmph, do you think you can truly escape just by relying on the power of a magical artifact?"

In the lake water, a murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the black Ink Flood Dragon. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a black spiritual light, bombarding the golden treasure tower.

The flying swords that Zhouyang used to attack it only left sword marks on its extremely hard dragon scales, failing to truly harm it.

After all, these were just Tier Six Lower Grade flying swords, and due to Zhouyang splitting his attention on sword control, he couldn't infuse too much power, so this limited effect was quite normal.

However, while the black Ink Flood Dragon could ignore Zhouyang's flying sword attacks, the other Demon Kings were not so lucky.

Some Tier Six Lower-Grade Demon Kings, after being struck by the two flying swords, had gashes torn open on their bodies, immediately letting out painful roars of rage.

But Zhouyang's true purpose in using the flying swords to attack these Demon Kings was not to harm them but to draw their attention and anger onto himself, creating an opportunity for his avatar to break through.

In this aspect, his goal was easily achieved.

Yet the consequences of doing so were also severe.

At that moment, when the black spiritual light spewed by the black Ink Flood Dragon hit the golden treasure tower, the originally radiant golden tower's light was instantaneously extinguished, and even the tower itself was eroded and corroded by the black spiritual light, peeling off a layer of golden liquid.

This damage to the golden treasure tower exceeded the cumulative damage from the previous combined attacks of over a dozen Demon Kings.

This caused Zhouyang to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, sustaining significant internal injuries.

Then his body moved immediately out of the golden treasure tower. Raising his hand, he reclaimed it into his body for nurturing, to prevent further damage.

"Human, prepare to die!"

Almost the instant Zhouyang's figure appeared outside, the lake surface below him burst forth with water splashes, and an enormous crocodile mouth emerged to bite at him.

It seemed like a coordinated attack, as the power of the array forbidding the sky pressed down on Zhouyang, suddenly doubling in strength, instantly pulling him down into the crocodile's mouth.

"You vile beast! This is your own death wish!"

Furious and startled, Zhouyang flashed killing intent in his eyes and with a wave of his hand, launched three fist-sized golden-red thunder pearls directly into the crocodile mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of violent explosive fireballs rose, accompanied by a mournful wail.

This Dragon-bodied Crocodile-mouthed Demon King ultimately paid a huge price for its greed, with half of its head blown off by the three [Profound Celestial Fire Thunder Pearls]!

How could Zhouyang miss the chance to beat someone when they're down? He immediately prepared to finish off this beast.

But before he could act, four massive octopus tentacles broke through the water and slapped at him fiercely.

At the same time, below the lake, more octopus tentacles wrapped around the Dragon-bodied Crocodile-mouthed Demon King's body, rapidly dragging it back.

When Zhouyang's figure flashed aside to avoid the tentacle strikes and seized the opportunity to slash through two of the tentacles with his sword, the Dragon Scale Octopus Demon King had already covered the retreat of the Dragon-bodied Crocodile-mouthed Demon King successfully.

And the next wave of innate divine technique attacks from the other Demon Kings was once again sweeping in.

This time, without the [Qianyang Golden Tower] for protection, Zhouyang could only summon the [Fire Dragon Shield] to protect himself, while using [Cyan Dragon Transformation] divine technique to overlay his recently practiced to small-success realm [Vajra Indestructible Body] divine technique for defense.

Amidst the assault of multi-colored magic spiritual light, a streak of golden fire light stood unshakeable like a needle stabilizing the sea, remaining unharmed by the numerous Demon Kings' magical divine technique attacks.

As the magic spiritual light weakened, Zhouyang, in a half-dragon, half-human form, let out a long howl, his figure rushing fiercely towards where his avatar was located.

The flying swords he had previously used to attack the Demon Kings now returned toward him.

"Not good, he's trying to escape!"

The black Ink Flood Dragon's eyes sharpened, quickly realizing Zhouyang's intention. Roaring angrily, it directly unleashed a water escape, charging toward Zhouyang.

Earlier, it hadn't dared to approach because it was unsure of how many powerful trump cards Zhouyang held, preferring to let the other Demon Kings probe first.

Now, having gauged some of Zhouyang's capabilities and seeing him trying to escape, it could no longer delay, directly entering the fray itself to stop Zhouyang.

This underground Spirit Lake was originally the home ground for them, the water race demon beasts. Utilizing the Water Escape Technique, the black Ink Flood Dragon quickly surfaced from the water beneath Zhouyang, spitting out black spiritual light toward him.

This black spiritual light was a Water Attribute Divine Technique it practiced, similar to the [Fire Lotus Eye] divine technique uniquely created by Zhouyang, both integrating the power of Water Attribute Law into the Law Divine Techniques. Otherwise, it wouldn't have damaged the [Qianyang Golden Tower] with a single strike before.

I've been waiting for this!

A golden fire lotus phantom flickered in Zhouyang's eyes, and suddenly golden flames ignited on the black Ink Flood Dragon's body, causing it to cry out in agony and fall back towards the water surface.

Without its master's guidance, the black spiritual light was easily dodged by Zhouyang.

Meanwhile, Zhouyang's avatar, amidst the interference from two suddenly-appearing Nascent Soul cultivators of the Dragon Taming Family's direct lineage, successfully merged the "Wood God Thunder" released by the [Wood Thunder Element Token] with its own practiced "Wood God Thunder," forming a brand-new, immensely powerful divine thunder that struck the blue array light curtain blocking the waterway.

Rumble!

Dazzling blue-green lightning spread across the lake water, shaking the entire underground Spirit Lake's space as if in an earthquake.

The array light curtain that originally blocked the waterway entrance was directly breached amid the booming sound, creating a massive opening.

"Mountain and water part ways, Zhou will remember today's events well, and will return someday for another lesson in your esteemed skills. I will be back!"

The grand voice echoed around the underground Spirit Lake's space, while Zhouyang's body and avatar, under the watchful eyes of all the Demon Kings and Dragon Taming Family cultivators, plunged into the waterway, disappearing from the underground Spirit Lake space.
