Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 610 - 608: Astounding Opportunity!

The Fire God Remnant body wreaked havoc on all sides.

Big Stupid Deer, Little Bai, and True Monarch Liu Yun were all injured one after another, but the most severely injured were Ning Daoran and True Monarch Du’e, who were on the front line.

True Monarch Du’e’s arms were already close to being charred like roasted wings, even emitting a faint aroma.

Ning Daoran was even worse off; in order to "shield" True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun, he was burned from head to toe multiple times by the Fire God Remnant body’s fierce flame, turning his entire body blackened. His chest was also punched several times, breaking a few ribs.

If not for the extreme resilience of the Eternal Green Technique’s battlefield recovery abilities, he would have collapsed long ago.

But this was a fight to the death without retreat, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take on the primary offensive role.

Repeatedly, he used the Eternal Immortal Vine, Dragon Vine, Thunder Vine, and Fire Vine to restrain the Fire God Remnant body. Gradually, Ning Daoran gained some insight—all Fire Vine attempts were ineffective, and the Eternal Immortal Vine attempts seemed to only fuel its power. Every time he bound the opponent with the Eternal Immortal Vine, the flames on the Fire God Remnant body burned even more fervently.

This demonstrated that although the flames refined by the Fire God Remnant body were "Divine Fire," they still adhered to the principle of the mutual reinforcement and suppression of the Five Elements.

Thus...

At this moment, using the Water Vine to restrain the Fire God Remnant body should be the most effective strategy.

Unfortunately, Ning Daoran had not yet cultivated the Water Vine.

He gritted his teeth and directly activated the Chaos Nascent Soul, converting all his mana into extremely pure water attribute power, then immediately deployed the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation!

"Rise!"

With a single command, twenty-four Golden Silk Swords soared from the sword array, dragging streaks of water-like mist behind them. These ribbons wrapped around the Fire God Remnant body’s legs like vines, while the Golden Silk Swords permeated its heavily damaged frame, piercing its body with "thudding" sounds, imbued with water attribute mana.

Finally, it had an effect.

"Urgh..."

Accompanied by a low groan from the Fire God Remnant body, fiery red molten lava began to seep from the areas pierced by the Golden Silk Swords, seemingly the "blood" of the injured Fire God Remnant.

"Good!"

True Monarch Du’e shouted joyfully.

When a deity reveals a health bar, it means it is no longer invincible. At this moment, the Fire God Remnant body was in precisely this vulnerable state.

"Junior Brother Ning, I’ll cover you; you focus on attacking!"

The next moment, True Monarch Du’e endured his injuries and summoned the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, slashing at the Fire God Remnant body’s front.

When the Fire God Remnant body spread its five fingers wide to forcibly grasp the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, True Monarch Du’e rotated the umbrella’s handle. Instantly, blades hidden within the umbrella’s ribs extended, slashing continuously at the thick fingers of the Fire God Remnant body.

"Whoosh~~~"

No one expected the Fire God Remnant body to exhale a blast of Divine Fire, causing the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella to sizzle and glow red, while True Monarch Du’e emitted an even stronger aroma.

At this rate, True Monarch Du’e wouldn’t survive much longer and was on the brink of perishing.

"Attack!"

With a thunderous roar, Ning Daoran activated the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation while raising the Big Green Dragon spear, thrusting forward with a spear radiance imbued with water attribute power!

Secret skill! Azure Dragon Whirlwind Strike!

"Thud!"

With a crisp sound, the spear radiance filled with water energy pierced through the Fire God Remnant body!

"Well done!"

True Monarch Du’e laughed heartily.

However, no one expected Ning Daoran to suddenly crouch down and, together with the Big Green Dragon spear, burrow into the back of the Fire God Remnant body.

"Argh..."

The Fire God Remnant body growled deeply and uttered faintly, "Naïve..."

Its eyes opened and closed once, and its entire body began to flow with raging flames. The damaged area on its back was instantly repaired by molten lava-like material, with strands of fierce flames dancing within.

"Damn!!!"

Though True Monarch Du’e was a rough-around-the-edges Loose Cultivator, he did usually maintain a semblance of civility. Yet, at this moment, he couldn’t help but curse angrily in frustration.

"This is bad!"

True Monarch Liu Yun rushed forward with her long sword to engage in close combat: "Fellow Daoist Ning!"

"Young Master!"

Little Bai descended from the sky, wielding the Snow Soul Sword and slashing heavily at the Fire God Remnant body’s head.

"Yowl~~~"

Big Stupid Deer let out a mournful cry, recklessly transforming into its Dharma Body, repeatedly deploying the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique to smash into the Fire God Remnant body’s form. Even as punches from the Fire God Remnant body landed on its antlers, breaking them in parts, it didn’t retreat an inch.

If Ning Daoran were to perish, Big Stupid Deer felt there would be no reason for it to continue living.

What was the point of being a Nascent Soul cultivator? Or even succeeding in Divinity Transformation? If Big Brother Ning was gone, what meaning did all these achievements hold?

...

While everyone was overcome with grief, Ning Daoran stood suspended within the Fire God Remnant body.

The internal structure of its veins resembled that of a human, but the flowing blood was a molten substance nurturing Divine Fire. Moreover, the Fire God Remnant body lacked internal organs; where its organs would be were densely packed fiery red veins.

"Let’s do this!"

He spread his arms wide, and countless Eternal Immortal Vines extended outward from his body, the tips of the vines piercing into the flesh of the Fire God Remnant body, transforming into blood vessels.

The blood he was about to supply was mana converted from his Chaos Nascent Soul into pure water attribute power!

"I’ll put out your fire for good!"

He growled lowly, using the most primitive method to extinguish the Fire God Remnant body.

This remnant body was a spiritual entity; as long as its energy was depleted, it could be annihilated. Ning Daoran’s water attribute mana was the ideal countermeasure for extinguishing the fire. However, the Fire God Remnant body possessed a higher cultivation level and more profound mana reserves.

But so what?

Although Ning Daoran was at Nascent Soul Early Stage, his foundation was exceptionally deep, and his mana exceeded that of an average Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivator!

Even if the Fire God Remnant body was comparable to a Divinity Transformation cultivator, how many Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators could it compare to? Four? Eight? Or even more?!

Besides, the prolonged battle outside had already drained much of the Fire God Remnant body’s mana!

"Come on!"

Ning Daoran unleashed all his power, converting all his mana into water attribute energy, pouring it into the Fire God Remnant body’s interior like a torrential downpour!

Instantly, his mana was depleted!

He took out an extremely valuable Jade Bottle.

"Gulp!"

One drop of Nine Heavens Jade Dew entered his throat, and in an instant, his mana surged, fully restored. Seizing the medicinal effect, he frantically continued activating the Chaos Nascent Soul, converting all his mana into water attribute energy and relentlessly pouring it into the Fire God Remnant body.

Soon, his mana was drained once again!

Another drop!

The second drop of Nine Heavens Jade Dew went down!

Outside, the Fire God Remnant body roared incessantly.

While its swings of the Great Spear accelerated, the energy within the spear diminished significantly, and its strikes against the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella could no longer push it back.

The Divine Fire within the body was being extinguished, and naturally, its overall divine power diminished accordingly!

"What’s happening?!"

Amidst his furious battle, True Monarch Du’e noticed the fierce flames on the chest and abdomen of the Fire God Remnant body were gradually extinguishing, revealing a section of pitch-black rock-like material that had been burned for thousands of years. The Fire God Remnant body was transforming into a massive stone giant as its flames were extinguished!

"Fellow Daoist Ning isn’t dead..."

True Monarch Liu Yun exclaimed joyfully, "His aura is still present, and he’s exterminating the Fire God Remnant body from within!"

"Yowl~~"

Big Stupid Deer, bloodied and battered, opened its bloodshot eyes wide, fixating on the Fire God Remnant body’s figure with a tremendously excited expression.

"Young Master!"

Little Bai revealed a delighted smile.

"Excellent!"

True Monarch Du’e said solemnly, "Let’s go all-in and fight it!"

Despite their severe injuries, everyone fought relentlessly to pester the Fire God Remnant body.

...

"Gulp!"

Inside the Fire God Remnant body, Ning Daoran consumed the fifth drop of Nine Heavens Jade Dew.

How extravagant!

He was deeply pained; no matter what, he had to claim the rewards for eliminating this Fire God Remnant body first. The cost of this battle had been excessively high—Nine Heavens Jade Dew was one of his most treasured possessions!

Thankfully, when he shook the Jade Bottle, he saw that there were still fourteen or fifteen drops left. Meanwhile, most of the Divine Fire within the Fire God Remnant body had been extinguished, and the brutal confrontation was near its end.

Soon, the Fire God Remnant body’s arm swinging the Great Spear finally stopped, transforming entirely from arm to spear into pitch-black stone.

"Swish!"

Ning Daoran gracefully emerged from the fissures of the remnant body!

"Fellow Daoist Ning!"

"Young Master!"

"Yowl~~~"

Everyone was overjoyed.

"I’m fine!"

Ning Daoran soared into the air and directly flew to the area in front of the Fire God Remnant body’s face. Bringing his forefinger and middle finger together, he condensed his most refined water attribute mana and then lightly pointed at the Fire God Remnant body’s brow!

"Hiss~~~"

With a light sound, the fire that had burned for tens of thousands of years finally extinguished under Ning Daoran’s touch.

"Urgh..."

The Fire God Remnant body slowly knelt, the fire in its eyes extinguished, transforming into a lifeless ancient mountain.

"Buzz~~~"

A radiant light burst from the Demon-Slaying Token at Ning Daoran’s waist as a streak of glowing essence departed the Fire God Remnant body, integrating into the token, contributing to his rank on the Demon Slayer List.

In an instant, Ning Daoran’s position on the Demon Slayer List jumped from fifth to second place!

The battle achievements of the top five ranked cultivators on the Demon Slayer List were incredibly outstanding. Ning Daoran had spent an entire month in the Taixu Immortal Realm’s Inner Sea slaying Golden Elf Demons at the Late Golden Core stage, but his rank remained unchanged at fifth!

Yet, after slaying the Fire God Remnant body, he immediately jumped to second place—the contributions from that streak of glowing essence were too vast to comprehend.

However, he remained unaware of how far he was from the first rank, a position held by someone who had ascended long ago. If Ning Daoran overtook that individual, he would likely remain at the top indefinitely!

"Buzz~~~"

A sharp hum resounded as cracks appeared on the crown of the Fire God Remnant body. Moments later, a transcendent aura enveloped the heavens and earth, as a firefly-like light emerged from the fissures.

"What is this..."

Ning Daoran activated his Nascent Soul Divine Sense to inspect the item and discovered that the light enveloped a fiery red seed.

Upon closer examination, this seed seemed far from ordinary, deeply tied to the Divine Soul.

"This is..."

True Monarch Du’e, being less knowledgeable in matters of cultivation culture, found himself completely baffled at the sight before him.

"A relic of the Fire God..."

True Monarch Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes gleamed with excitement. "The legendary Fiery Flame Divine Tree Seed! This is a celestial opportunity bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, capable of being planted within one’s Divine Soul!"

"Buzz~~~"

Accompanied by a gentle hum, the Fiery Sun Divine Tree Seed floated before Ning Daoran.

True Monarch Liu Yun smiled and said, "Congratulations, Ning Daoran! It seems this celestial relic has acknowledged you. This Fiery Sun Divine Tree Seed is now bonded to you—no one else can take it! Congratulations on receiving such a heaven-defying opportunity!"
