Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 614 - 612: Silky Smooth Combo Moves

Divine Concealment True Monarch is one of the Demon Leaders of Sangyu Country, infamous for countless murders and arsons. His Storage Bag naturally contained an abundance of treasures, and this haul was exceedingly lucrative for True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun, both mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Especially for True Monarch Du’e, it could potentially increase his foundation by more than half!

Ning Daoran turned and walked toward the Golden Silk Sword embedded in the wall. Its sharp tip had impaled Divine Concealment True Monarch’s Nascent Soul. The miniature Nascent Soul writhed in agony, screaming endlessly.

"Little Qing!"

Ning Daoran drew the Flying Sword and thrust its tip into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. Accompanied by a "snap," Little Qing swallowed the plump and juicy mid-stage Nascent Soul whole. After consuming the Life Soul, her Soul Power grew ever more robust.

Little Qing rarely cultivated; her cultivation was entirely built step by step through devouring. Whether this was good or bad, Ning Daoran felt deeply at peace with it. Little Qing’s path of cultivation through consuming Life Souls might be wrong, but none of those Life Souls were innocent.

True Monarch Liu Yun set up an Array Formation Restriction, concealing everyone’s figures.

Next, Ning Daoran guarded them as True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun focused fully on healing their injuries.

Three days later, their wounds were more than half recovered.

"Fellow Daoist Ning,"

True Monarch Liu Yun furrowed her delicate brows slightly and said, "The time window to enter the Taixu Immortal Realm is not unlimited. If we don’t want to be trapped in this barren Secret Realm for a hundred years, we need to accelerate our pace."

"That is indeed reasonable."

Ning Daoran nodded, "Let us set off and head deeper into the Secret Realm."

"Understood!"

True Monarch Du’e nodded heavily.

The next moment, three crimson streaks of Tunneling Light shot into the air, passing through the fog carefully toward the depths of the Outer Hall.

...

After roughly half a day, at the end of the Outer Hall, a black mountain range emerged, blocking everything ahead. Below the mountain, a shimmering, glow-enshrouded bronze door stood, embedded with Restrictions.

True Monarch Liu Yun released her Nascent Soul Divine Sense to investigate. Opening her enchanting eyes, she said, "The Restriction remains intact. It seems that Purple Flame Demon Lord and Divine Concealment True Monarch have not entered the Inner Hall. Our luck is quite promising."

"Quickly break the Restriction."

Ning Daoran had already retrieved Array Materials and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu Yun, let’s work together to break the Restriction. This will speed things up!"

"Agreed!"

Thus, the two Fourth Order Array Masters joined forces to decode the Restrictions. Spell after spell was cast, penetrating layer by layer from the exterior inward. The Restriction crackled and hissed, attempting to retaliate but ultimately powerless to counteract.

"Come forth!"

Ning Daoran patted the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist. Instantly, a crimson ribbon flew out, morphing into the fully-developed forms of Fire Devouring Ants.

"Oh?"

True Monarch Du’e opened his eyes wide in shock, "Brother Ning, are these...?"

"Fire Devouring Ants, one of my early acquisitions and a cornerstone of my foundation."

He smiled lightly, "These Fire Devouring Ants mature through mutual devouring and evolution, making them highly effective for breaking arrays and assisting in battles."

"This..."

True Monarch Du’e’s heart stirred. He immediately said, "The Fire Devouring Ant’s ranking on the Ten Thousand Insects List is incredibly high. I’ve searched for this type of Spiritual Insect for ages... but have never had the opportunity to obtain them. How did Brother Ning..."

"Brother Du’e, there’s no need for excessive words."

Ning Daoran replied, "I’ll gift you a thousand slightly more mature Fire Devouring Ants and include a handwritten guide for raising them. Whether you can breed them into a full-fledged Fire Devouring Ant army will entirely depend on your fortune and patience."

"Truly?"

True Monarch Du’e was ecstatic.

"Of course. I don’t speak deceitfully."

"In that case, thank you!"

True Monarch Du’e said, "Brother Ning’s great kindness and generosity, I will remember deeply. If the opportunity arises, I will surely repay you!"

"With the bond between us, there’s no need for such formalities."

"Haha, yes, yes~~~"

Nearby, True Monarch Liu Yun lightly curled her lips into a smile.

In the Cultivation World, cultivators like Ning Daoran were not rare, but giving away such invaluable Fire Devouring Ants—so scarce that even one was worth its weight in Spirit Stones—was unprecedented. Yet, he effortlessly gifted thousands, even when there was camaraderie with True Monarch Du’e; it was undeniably a lavish display.

As True Monarch Liu Yun observed, her thoughts wandered. Considering her less intimate relationship with Ning Daoran, if she asked, would he also grant her a thousand Fire Devouring Ants?

Ultimately, she put the thought aside. Having devoted half her life to Arrays, her interest in Spiritual Insects was lukewarm at best. Spotting those dense masses of antenna-waving insects filled her with dread deep down.

...

Two days passed.

"Rustle, rustle..."

The Restriction ahead gradually loosened. Under the concerted efforts of Ning Daoran and True Monarch Liu Yun, countless ancient Materials dissolved into fine powder, vanishing into thin air.

"It’s done!"

Ning Daoran straightened up, recalling the Fire Devouring Ants into his Spirit Beast Bag. He extracted another Spirit Beast Bag, packed a thousand Fire Devouring Ants alongside the care guide, and handed them to True Monarch Du’e.

"Much appreciated!"

True Monarch Du’e was overjoyed.

"Let’s move; the Inner Hall entrance is now open."

"Indeed!"

Accompanied by a resonant humming sound, the heavy bronze door to the Inner Hall slowly swung open, revealing a passage leading to shadowy depths. Stone walls flanked both sides of the path, descending into unfathomable abysses. When Ning Daoran extended his Divine Sense, he couldn’t even perceive the bottom.

Surrounded by absolute darkness, the three Nascent Souls each ignited a Spirit Stone, casting a soft Spirit Light to illuminate the surroundings.

Flying cautiously for several dozen miles, Ning Daoran furrowed his brows and said, "Be alert; there is heavy Demon Qi ahead!"

True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun both adopted solemn expressions.

Soon after, from the thick black mist ahead came a series of piercing, chilling "giggling" noises, and dense Demon Qi surged within their Divine Sense’s range.

"Swish, swish, swish~~~"

Figures burst forth from the fog, enveloped in intense Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure!

"Be cautious!"

True Monarch Liu Yun sharpened her gaze and said seriously, "These are early-stage Nascent Soul Blood Demons!"

"Do not panic!"

Ning Daoran wielded the Big Green Dragon and said firmly, "Protect each other’s backs to prevent any openings for these Blood Demons!"

With that, he swung Big Green Dragon, unleashing showers of fiery rain that repelled several Blood Demons.

True Monarch Du’e summoned the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, which unfurled with a "bang," forcing groups of Blood Demons to retreat incessantly.

True Monarch Liu Yun unleashed three Low-Grade Spirit Treasure Flying Swords, which danced and howled in mid-air, their strikes deterring Blood Demons from closing in.

Thus, the three Nascent Souls stood back-to-back in a triangular defensive stance, managing to stabilize the situation slightly.

But the Blood Demons’ numbers were excessive. Though they were only Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beasts, their count exceeded twenty, and waves of Demonic aura surrounded them, pushing the trio of cultivators heavily.

"Courting death!"

Ning Daoran slapped his Storage Bag, swiftly setting up a Falling Star Array around his area. He then soared skyward, brandishing Big Green Dragon to deliver three consecutive strikes, smashing a Blood Demon’s head into bloody pulp. Yet, the resilient creature still screeched as a three-meter-long tongue lashed out grotesquely.

"These wretched beasts!"

True Monarch Du’e fiercely manipulated his Treasure Umbrella. Hidden within its ribs, Flying Swords shot out with "thump, thump, thump" sounds, injuring several Blood Demons but requiring more effort to deliver fatal blows.

"We must resolve this quickly."

Ning Daoran urged, "Otherwise, attracting other Demon Beasts will result in serious trouble!"

"Understood!" ƒreewebɳovel.com

True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun nodded, breaking rank and dashing off to disrupt their foes.

Ning Daoran murmured to himself, deploying a Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation beneath his feet to amplify his Sword Dao damage. Then, pointing skyward, he commanded gravely, "Go!"

With a metallic screech, a golden Treasure Mirror soared skyward, casting a beam of light over the frame of a Blood Demon.

"Gri gri gri~~~"

The Blood Demon instantly stiffened, terror engulfing its being. Thrashing frantically within the luminous prison created by the Treasure Mirror, it collided despairingly, unable to break free.

Ning Daoran’s focus intensified. He beckoned around him, and green bamboo leaves swayed fiercely, transforming into streaks of Sword Qi that ascended, adhering into streams upon the Golden Silk Swords raining down like a silver tempest.

"Crack, crack, crack~~~"

The Blood Demon’s pained shrieks filled the air as its body became riddled with wounds.

In an instant, a fiery Treasure Sword launched from Ning Daoran’s brow.

The Fire God Sword!

"Go!"

With a stern shout, Flame Essence Qi erupted around the Fire God Sword, forming a fiery cyclone that descended, dismembering the mutilated Blood Demon into a ghastly pile of flesh!

"..."

Nearby, True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun tensed with unease.

Though these Nascent Soul Early Stage Blood Demons were formidable, facing mid-stage Human Clan Nascent Souls typically required at least forty to fifty rounds before being subdued.

Indeed, weaker mid-stage Human Clan Nascent Souls might even not be their match, risking their lives within several hundred exchanges!

Yet Ning Daoran defied expectations, employing a combination of the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, Golden Silk Swords, and the Fire God Sword to vanquish a Blood Demon within moments—an act certainly heaven-defying!

Still, after traveling alongside Ning Daoran, True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun had grown accustomed to such feats.

At this moment, True Monarch Du’e couldn’t help but feel a touch of melancholy. No wonder Slaying Immortal Tower’s Tower Master Shen Luoyan had overridden all opposition to bring Ning Daoran into the organization, even lavishing him with repeated favor. Moreover, Shen Luoyan seemed to possess a "Protection Path" element toward Ning Daoran. Otherwise, dignified as the Tower Master and Divinity Transformation Stage Great Cultivator, why would she take time to personally approach Ning Daoran repeatedly?

Clearly, Shen Luoyan had invested deep intentions in Ning Daoran.

Considering this, True Monarch Du’e’s heart subtly tightened.

That eccentric Shen Tower Master...

Could she intend for Ning Daoran to become the next Tower Master of Slaying Immortal Tower?

This possibility... appeared highly plausible!

...

"Go!"

"Go again!"

"Go, go, go!"

In the air, Ning Daoran replicated his strategy, wielding the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror, Golden Silk Sword, and Fire God Sword in unison. His combat tactic was remarkably straightforward: the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror controlled and applied debuffs, the Golden Silk Sword broke defense and inflicted damage, and the Fire God Sword executed final annihilation. Surprisingly effective, this setup dramatically reduced the time required to dispatch Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beasts, from dozens of strikes down to mere seconds—a truly efficient approach!

In the blink of an eye, half of the Blood Demons encircling the three Nascent Souls had been slain by Ning Daoran. The remaining ones seemed utterly terrified.

"Screech screech screech~~~"

The next moment, as if coordinated by silent rhythm, the Blood Demons bolted, vanishing entirely into the murk of the night.
