Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 629 - 627: You’ve Lost Your First Kiss

"Trash, go die!"

The True Spirit Empress roared furiously, and in an instant, dozens of blood-red arms extended from behind her, transforming into sharp crimson beams that shot toward Longque Wanderer!

The pitiful Longque Wanderer had long since been battling endlessly. His body was already covered in bloody wounds, and now, pierced through the abdomen by the True Spirit Empress, he had lost all ability to resist.

Ning Daoran’s heart tightened, ready to instant teleport to the rescue.

"Fellow Taoist Long Que!"

But just as Ning Daoran was about to act, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Human Clan suddenly pressed a single finger to his brow, swiftly extracting a deep blue treasure bottle from between his eyebrows!

This man was none other than Jingping True Monarch, another guest elder of the City Lord Mansion.

It was said that this treasure bottle was a mid-grade Spirit Treasure—a life-bound item of Jingping True Monarch!

"Swoosh!"

A suction force emerged from the bottle’s opening, instantly pulling Longque Wanderer inside. The dozens of sharp beams missed entirely, effectively saving Longque Wanderer’s life.

"How bold!"

The True Spirit Empress let out a piercing snarl as her blood-red mouth suddenly opened wide. A "Clove Little Tongue" extended dozens of meters and instantly wrapped around the bottle midair, attempting to snatch it away frantically.

"No!"

Jingping True Monarch paled with fright. If his life-bound item were taken, his cultivation would plummet, and Longque Wanderer, still trapped inside, would face certain death!

Just as he attempted to save the bottle, two sharp screeches came from both his left and right. It was none other than two Spirit Rune Blood Demons attacking him simultaneously. Helpless, Jingping True Monarch had no choice but to summon two treasures to block their assault momentarily.

Alone, Jingping True Monarch could barely handle one Spirit Rune Blood Demon. Facing two simultaneously left him utterly outmatched, and he had no chance to retrieve his bottle or rescue Longque Wanderer.

It was then that a majestic force descended from the sky!

Ning Daoran finally took action, dropping from the sky. With one hand, he seized the bottle, and with the other, he swung the fiery Fire God Sword downward!

With a crisp "snap," the True Spirit Empress’s "Clove Little Tongue" was immediately severed. Blood sprayed everywhere as her main body emitted a screeching howl, almost as if her tongue were her life-bound item.

"Junior Brother Ning..."

From within the bottle, a renewed voice of Longque Wanderer echoed excitedly.

"Finish the fight first!"

Ning Daoran called forth Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai. Big Stupid Deer was tasked with guarding the bottle. It made things simple by opening its mouth and swallowing the bottle whole. Its belly was a vast Grotto Heaven space that could store many treasures, making it the safest place for the bottle.

"Old Lu."

As Ning Daoran charged at the True Spirit Empress, he mischievously transmitted a message: "The True Spirit Empress used her tongue to wrap around the bottle earlier; I sliced off her tongue but didn’t have time to clean the bottle. So... you just had an indirect tongue-kiss with the True Spirit Empress... your first kiss is gone..."

"Eek eek~~~"

Big Stupid Deer was shocked and then visibly upset, hurriedly spitting out its tongue and shaking its head frantically.

"You vile creatures..."

The True Spirit Empress roared in fury. Were this human and deer pair mocking her in the middle of a great battle? At such a crucial time, they dared joke about petty things?

"Die!"

With a roar, the True Spirit Empress clashed fiercely with Ning Daoran.

Ning Daoran was surrounded by dense Dual Yin Sword Intent. His sword light danced gracefully through the air, seamlessly fighting the True Spirit Empress without any disadvantage.

Jingping True Monarch watched in stunned disbelief.

The last time Ning Mingyu held his Nascent Soul celebration, Ning Daoran had made waves with his display of a low-grade Spirit Treasure—the Golden Feather Sword—earning widespread recognition. Yet few had witnessed his combat prowess firsthand. Now, seeing Ning Daoran’s performance, Jingping True Monarch was astounded, believing Longque Wanderer’s claim: Ning Daoran truly was a marvel!

The True Spirit Empress possessed mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. Immune to Five Elements Technique damage, she was nearly invincible against even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Human Clan. Yet Ning Daoran, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, barely in his prime, suppressed her single-handedly with one sword!

This was utterly unreasonable, ridiculous!

Defeated, the True Spirit Empress grew desperate.

"You mindless fools, why are you still standing around? Attack now! Tear this brat apart completely!"

From the depths of the vortex, shadowy figures rushed out—a mob of Spirit Rune Blood Demons, over two hundred strong!

"Ah?!"

Jingping True Monarch was flabbergasted, exclaiming how lucky he and True Monarch Du’e were. Evidently, the True Spirit Empress had been holding back the full force of her hidden arsenal, previously deploying fewer than ten Spirit Rune Blood Demons to engage them. This restraint allowed the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators’ team to hang on until now.

Had all two hundred-plus demons been unleashed initially, fighting would have been utterly futile.

"Fellow Taoist Ning, watch out!"

Jingping True Monarch hastily shouted.

"I’m fine, Fellow Taoist Jingping, don’t worry!"

Ning Daoran employed an old tactic, swiftly activating ten arrays to engulf most of the vortex. He then summoned the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror for "control." The mirror, despite being a top-grade Spirit Treasure, held ancient treasure-level powers. Its divine skills diminished the enemies’ combat ability upon contact with its light, allowing Ning Daoran to quickly dispatch them.

Instantly, the Golden Silk Sword, Fire God Sword, Thunder Sword, and Blood-drinking Sword surged forth under the grasp of his Chaos Nascent Soul, launching consecutive lethal strikes. The Spirit Rune Blood Demons, despite their strength, were helpless. They faced suppression from the arrays, spiritual pressure, the mirror’s light, and chaotic mana. Layered debuffs rendered them fragile, and many were dispatched within mere strikes!

"This..."

Jingping True Monarch was dumbstruck. Struggling to deal with a single Spirit Rune Blood Demon, he watched as Ning Daoran obliterated four with a single stroke!

Such combat prowess—who could match it?!

By now, Jingping True Monarch felt his concern for Ning Daoran was needless. This towering figure reigning over Sangyu Country was, evidently, unrivaled in power—a true prodigy, bordering on invincibility within the Nascent Soul stage!

...

After a quarter-hour of combat.

Ning Daoran finally felt his mana dwindling. Two vortex-clearing battles had pushed him to his limits. Continuing would require him to consume Nine Heavens Jade Dew.

But each drop of Nine Heavens Jade Dew was precious, and Ning Daoran cherished its use for his eventual ascension to the Earth Immortal Realm, where he’d need it to contend against seasoned Refining Void, Body Integration, and Mahayana-stage elites.

Thus, he paced himself.

After another quarter-hour, fewer than twenty Spirit Rune Blood Demons remained, while the True Spirit Empress was battered, suppressed by Ning Daoran’s Chaos Nascent Soul from start to finish!

Interestingly, Ning Daoran’s Chaos Nascent Soul exuded a divinely pure, harmless aura—unlike the sinister visage of a Dragon Demon Martial Infant.

To the True Spirit Empress, however, the Chaos Nascent Soul appeared far more ferocious!

Such is the nature of elemental counterbalance.

Ning Daoran’s self-created chaotic mana, coupled with his fortuitous opportunity to forge a Chaos Nascent Soul, was tailored for confronting the Black Tides.

Now, as six Black Tide vortexes descended upon the Mortal World once again, it proved an opportune moment for the Chaos Nascent Soul to reign supreme!

"Pfft!"

With a fiery streak piercing her abdomen, the True Spirit Empress howled in agony, retreating in terror as flames erupted within her. Unable to withstand the godly flame stored within the Fire God Sword, her end mirrored the fate of her previous defeat.

...

"Fellow Taoist Ning!"

With the True Spirit Empress vanquished, Jingping True Monarch was elated. His last major threats were the two Spirit Rune Blood Demons he grappled with, teetering on the brink of disaster.

"Fellow Taoist Jingping, let me handle it!"

Ning Daoran waved his left hand, redirecting the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror. Its blinding light enveloped the two demons with a "swoosh."

"Screeeee~~"

The Blood Demons writhed in agony under the mirror’s radiance, akin to leeches under scorching sunlight.

Ning Daoran, without tormenting them, summoned his Fire God Sword and promptly dispatched them both.

"You saved us, Fellow Taoist Ning!"

Jingping True Monarch was filled with gratitude. The vortex now held only remnants of Red Demons and ordinary Blood Demons, posing minimal threat to Guiru City’s forces.

"Of course."

Ning Daoran crushed the True Spirit Empress’s remaining crystal stone, sparking a pang of heartache in Jingping True Monarch.

Afterward, Ning Daoran consumed three third-tier elixir pills to recover his mana. He sat cross-legged, meditating with only a fraction of energy left to restore quickly.

"Awoo~~~"

Big Stupid Deer regurgitated the bottle, returning it to its rightful owner.

"Many thanks!"

Jingping True Monarch gratefully nodded toward Big Stupid Deer. After reclaiming the bottle, he channeled mana to release Longque Wanderer.

Longque Wanderer emerged, invigorated. Seeing Ning Daoran regaining mana, he refrained from disturbing him and ascended with Jingping True Monarch to cleanse the remaining demons.

As Ning Daoran recovered, he deployed his Nascent Soul Divine Sense to probe underground.

As suspected, the vortex’s base was connected to a vast network of geomantic veins resembling tree roots. Eventually, these veins converged into a single, mighty vein leading over a hundred miles away, where his Divine Sense was impeded—the exact location he’d identified before.

"Could it be..."

Frowning, he pondered whether the six Black Tide vortexes originated from a singular source. Could they point to some profound underground secret?

...

Two hours later.

Having regained nearly all his mana, Ning Daoran soared through the skies to meet True Monarch Du’e, Longque Wanderer, and Jingping True Monarch—the three Nascent Soul cultivators. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Brother Ning."

Longque Wanderer frowned. "The City Lord just sent word. Including this Black Tide vortex, three have been eradicated. He orders us to demolish the southern vortex if we have strength left, to fully neutralize the Black Tide’s threat to Guiru City. What do you think?"

Ning Daoran gripped the Fire God Sword and replied indifferently, "I think it’s doable."
