Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 613 - 611: The Purple Flame Demon Lord’s Resolute Decision

Chapter 613: Chapter 611: The Purple Flame Demon Lord’s Resolute Decision

"┗|｀O′|┛ Aoo~~"

Divine Concealment True Monarch clutched his buttocks and shouted in unbearable pain. That hit from Big Stupid Deer must have hurt.

But just as Divine Concealment True Monarch was in excruciating pain and flew up, a snow-white blazing light slashed down from behind, containing strands of golden light, all of which were Geng Metal Essence!

"Peng!"

Little Bai swung the Snow Soul Sword with great power and force.

Additionally, Little Bai, being a Nascent Soul stage Gold Wood dual-attribute Spiritual Beast, had already naturally cultivated Geng Metal Essence during this period. This sword not only had great power but could cut through gold and jade, instantly slicing open Divine Concealment True Monarch’s inner armor, leaving a deep sword mark on his back.

That was not all; something else descended from the sky.

"Roar!"

It was the Nascent Soul Mid Stage Puppet Fire Hou!

The Fire Hou had been activated, and as the Guardian Artifact Spirit of the Taixu Palace, its target was not fixed. It attacked indiscriminately, slamming a cross-shaped fist fiercely onto Divine Concealment True Monarch’s forehead.

Divine Concealment True Monarch, having roamed the Cultivation World for many years, probably never expected to find himself in such a dire situation.

"Psst!"

With a tearing sound, a blood-red sword blade "puff" pierced through the wound on his back, greedily devouring Divine Concealment True Monarch’s Blood Qi. In the blink of an eye, Divine Concealment True Monarch turned pale, showing signs of severe blood loss.

That sword was indeed Ning Daoran’s Blood-drinking Sword!

"Hidden Divinity Fellow Taoist!"

Purple Flame Demon Lord was aghast.

"Not good..."

Divine Concealment True Monarch’s face turned deathly pale as most of the blood in his body was sucked away by the Blood-drinking Sword. At this rate, he would soon become a dried corpse.

Moreover, the more blood the Blood-drinking Sword drank, the more lethal it became. Now, after consuming the blood of a Nascent Soul Mid Stage Cultivation major repairman, its power had probably increased to the level of a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

In the sky, Ning Daoran turned defense into offense, holding a golden treasure sword and striking down from above!

"Courting death?!"

Purple Flame Demon Lord shouted sharply, summoning two flying knives to block the treasure sword. However, he didn’t expect strands of golden sword intent to pour down continuously, transforming into scorching Sword Qi that attacked the Nascent Soul Perfect Great Cultivator from all directions once again!

At this moment, Ning Daoran utilized the Fire God Sword and Dual Yin Sword Intent. Although his battle power couldn’t suppress Purple Flame Demon Lord, it was enough to "intimidate" him, especially since Ning Daoran was not alone.

True Monarch Du’e was sealing his wounds and rallying, while True Monarch Liu Yun unleashed numerous treasures and talismans, frantically attacking the cage woven by the Purple Jade Netherworld Fire.

Moreover, Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai were frantically attacking Divine Concealment True Monarch!

Although Purple Flame Demon Lord was extremely powerful, he found himself in a predicament, having failed in his sneak attack on True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun right from the start, ensuring their surprise attack was destined to fail!

"Die!"

Ning Daoran’s left hand made a gesture, instantly causing the Blood-drinking Sword to pierce through Divine Concealment True Monarch’s flesh, with a sound of breaking through the air, charging toward Purple Flame Demon Lord. Additionally, Ning Daoran held the Fire God Sword, effectively making Purple Flame Demon Lord face two Top-grade Spiritual Treasure Divine Swords!

He was in a tough spot.

"Swish~~~"

A blood-red little man emerged from Divine Concealment True Monarch’s head. He had decided to take a desperate risk, needing to use Nascent Soul Instant Teleportation to escape, or he might not leave alive today.

"Trying to escape?!"

Just as the Nascent Soul little man was about to leave, a Fourth-order Lower Grade Prohibition Breaking Talisman came from behind, a handiwork of True Monarch Du’e!

For someone as thrifty as True Monarch Du’e to even be willing to use up a Fourth-order Prohibition Breaking Talisman to obstruct Divine Concealment True Monarch’s departure showed just how much he detested the man!

"Puff!"

Amid a burst of blood, a golden silk sword shot out from the air by the distracted Ning Daoran, directly piercing Divine Concealment True Monarch’s Nascent Soul little man, pinning him to the wall, howling incessantly.

"Humph!"

Purple Flame Demon Lord snorted coldly, spreading his arms wide. Suddenly, an overbearing wave of purple dust rolled down. Meanwhile, the Purple Jade Netherworld Fire that imprisoned True Monarch Liu Yun transformed into a purple jade pendant flying toward Purple Flame Demon Lord.

In the heat of the battle, Purple Flame Demon Lord’s body unexpectedly shrank, a hint of blood appearing on his surface, transforming into a Nascent Soul little man, flying out of the Taixu Palace!

Ning Daoran marveled inwardly.

This person was indeed a formidable figure of the Demon Path. Upon seeing Divine Concealment True Monarch’s Nascent Soul about to be pinned to death, he had already made his choice. Continuing the fight would result in certain death, but fleeing provided a glimmer of hope!

"Don’t let him escape!"

True Monarch Du’e summoned the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, consecutively launching two Fourth-order Prohibition Breaking Talismans.

Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless, seeing that True Monarch Du’e’s hatred for Purple Flame Demon Lord exceeded even that for Divine Concealment True Monarch.

Understandably, Purple Flame Demon Lord was a leading figure in the Cultivation World of Sangyu Country and was considered the number one under the Divinity Transformation stage. In circumstances where those Divinity Transformation old monsters remained "hidden," Purple Flame Demon Lord essentially became the spokesperson for Sangyu Country’s Cultivation World. Hence, the trigger for the war between the Cultivation Worlds of the two countries was inextricably linked to him!

In the minds of the Xia Country cultivators, Purple Flame Demon Lord was someone everyone wanted dead.

"You’re not getting away!"

Ning Daoran instantly teleported to the front of the Taixu Palace’s gate, launching a massive spear attack, fierce as the descent of the White Tiger. But by this time, Purple Flame Demon Lord was already at the edge of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array.

"Swish!"

Soul Suppressing Technique!

Unfortunately, Purple Flame Demon Lord was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage and had already implemented precautions. A faint cocoon membrane surrounded his Divine Soul, leaving no opportunity for the Soul Suppressing Technique to penetrate and disrupt his mind.

"Pfft~~~"

The spear tip cut into the Nascent Soul, resembling striking cotton.

"Not good!"

Ning Daoran’s heart skipped a beat. He saw Purple Flame Demon Lord transform into a streak of blood, following the spearhead "swish" to the end of the spear, then swiftly exiting the forbidden boundary of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array.

"Go!"

Ning Daoran acted in an instant, simultaneously deploying a Fourth-rank Mid-grade Forbidden Breaking Talisman and a Golden Silk Sword.

The Forbidden Breaking Talisman instantly imposed a restriction on an area of several dozen meters. Simultaneously, the Golden Silk Sword "puff" pierced through Purple Flame Demon Lord’s Nascent Soul.

"Nice!"

True Monarch Du’e exclaimed excitedly, "Junior Brother Ning, if we can slay this fiend, it will surely be a monumental achievement for our Xia Country’s Cultivation World!"

’Not right...’

Ning Daoran realized something was amiss, seeing that the Golden Silk Sword had pierced through not the Nascent Soul, but an outer cloak. When the Golden Silk Sword shredded the cloak, a "peng" sound echoed from afar, where Purple Flame Demon Lord’s figure appeared, teleporting away directly.

"..."

Ning Daoran didn’t pursue.

There was no point in chasing. True Monarch Du’e’s physical body was unscathed. Even if they caught up, Ning Daoran might not be a match for him. Besides, as a Nascent Soul Perfect Great Cultivator, catching up was not that easy.

Moreover, as a Nascent Soul Early Stage, pursuing someone at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage seemed unreasonable.

"In the end, this fiend escaped."

True Monarch Du’e lamented.

"Indeed."

Ning Daoran frowned and said, "This person truly deserves to be the demon leader of Sangyu Country. Recognizing the unfavorable situation and escaping instantly is not a skill ordinary people possess."

True Monarch Liu Yun gritted his teeth, "I didn’t expect Purple Flame Demon Lord to have cultivated such a Nascent Soul Outer Robe technique, wrapping his body like a Nascent Soul, escaping and traversing with ease. Such a extraordinarily cunning divine skill is truly troublesome, and it will be even harder to kill him in the future."

"What’s more, this man’s combat power is completely undiminished."

True Monarch Du’e fretted, "In the future, we three need to be more cautious as we traverse the world. It’s said this person holds grudges extremely, and will certainly not let the three of us go."

"Hmm."

Ning Daoran said, "The two fellow Taoists indeed need to be wary in the future, but there is no need to be overly concerned. If I, Ning Daoran, have the luck to reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage early on, given the chance, I will surely slay this fiend for the honor of the Xia Country’s Cultivation World."

"I believe in Junior Brother Ning’s capability."

True Monarch Du’e said, "But given Junior Brother Ning’s breakthrough speed, by the time you reach the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, this fiend might already be in the Divinity Transformation stage..."

"If he transforms, I too shall transform..."

Ning Daoran retorted defiantly, "Once I reach Divinity Transformation, killing him would be like reaching into a bag."

True Monarch Liu Yun couldn’t help but giggle, not expecting Ning Daoran to utter such childish words.

...

Returning to the Taixu Palace.

"Roar roar~~~"

The Fire Hou roared incessantly, but was already subdued, with Little Bai stepping on it, while Big Stupid Deer pressed its antlers against the back of the Fire Hou’s head, completely suppressing it.

"Humph, still not obedient?"

Ning Daoran chuckled, stepping forward and parting a patch of the Fire Hou’s skin, finding a groove underneath, into which ten mid-grade spirit stones were inserted, much like batteries arranged in a row, providing energy for the Fire Hou.

"These mid-grade spirit stones couldn’t possibly provide energy for the Fire Hou for a thousand years."

Ning Daoran remarked, "If it needs to replace its spirit stones, what should it do?"

True Monarch Du’e replied, "Perhaps it would ask a companion for help?"

"Not necessarily, its companions are quite fierce, what if they don’t agree?"

"Perhaps it could invite the companions to dinner." True Monarch Du’e said confidently.

Ning Daoran nodded, "So even among puppets, interpersonal relationships matter."

"..."

Beside them, True Monarch Liu Yun was speechless, reaching out to take nine mid-grade spirit stones, yet the Fire Hou continued to roar and tremble relentlessly.

"Did the two fellow Taoists notice anything significant?" True Monarch Liu Yun asked.

"Yes."

True Monarch Du’e said, "This Fire Hou’s Artifact Spirit is indeed honest, having had so many spirit stones removed, yet it remains undaunted and composed, truly a model for us cultivators to learn from."

Ning Daoran crossed his arms, nodding in agreement, saying that the fellow was absolutely right.

True Monarch Liu Yun rolled his eyes, "This means that even with only one spirit stone in the groove, it can be used. It can replace its spirit stones on its own, got it?"

"Oh..."

The two Nascent Soul Great Cultivators suddenly understood, realizing that indeed.

Then, Ning Daoran took out the last spirit stone from the Fire Hou, and finally, this Fourth-rank Middle-grade Puppet collapsed like a deflated ball, no longer moving.

Ning Daoran stored it in the Storage Ring.

This Fire Hou Demon Beast wasn’t bad; although slightly damaged, once returning to Guiru City, finding a Fourth-rank Puppet Master to refurbish it a bit and remanufacture the chips in the Fire Hou’s head would allow it to recognize a master and be used again.

"Gentlemen, I’ll take the Fire Hou."

Ning Daoran looked at the corpse of Divine Concealment True Monarch in the distance and said, "Divine Concealment True Monarch’s Storage Bag, you two divide it, I shall not inquire further."

True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun were overjoyed!
