Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 239 - 186: Killing a Nascent Soul (Extended - ) (Part 3)
Now Li An is gravely wounded and on the verge of death, the grand formation has already disappeared.
His Nascent Soul can safely leave!
Once the Nascent Soul leaves, the demon’s body slowly stiffens, and the Nascent Soul turns to fly away, ready to escape--
But at this moment, a giant Divine Bird flies out from the darkness at an incredible speed, wings spread over dozens of meters, a glow emanating from its body, it directly spews a mouthful of cyan flames--
"No!"
The little white leopard is filled with terror, it absolutely did not expect there would be a hidden hand from the ambushers?
And it’s a Mid-Stage Golden Core Spirit Beast!
It abruptly turns around, trying to dive back into the body, but the cyan flames have already arrived in an instant.
The Nascent Soul has no self-defense capability and is directly annihilated!
It turns into a wisp of green smoke.
The Divine Bird folds its wings, its body quickly shrinks, reverting to the appearance of a small red bird, landing on Li An’s shoulder.
Only then does Li An finally breathe a sigh of relief, propping up his heavily injured body.
He is indeed severely injured!
If it were an ordinary person, they would likely be near death, the chances of survival being slim.
But his vitality is too robust, spiritual elements flow out from the kidney, liver, and lungs to repair flesh and blood, the green aura of the Life Seed circulates through his body, gradually restoring him.
"Fortunately..."
Li An is still somewhat fearful!
In fact, he revealed himself and fell into the trap, allowing this demon to get close on purpose.
He had no other choice, his greatest worry was that the demon would self-destruct!
What is the concept of an Early-Stage Nascent Soul self-destructing?
The grand formation Li An set up would be useless, the entire Celestial Wolf Pool and even the surrounding tens or hundreds of miles would be turned to scorched earth, all living things destroyed, he and the Divine Bird might not survive.
Even if they barely managed to survive, Mountain Master Bai’s people would certainly arrive immediately.
At that point, wouldn’t Li An be exposed? And possibly killed!
Therefore, from the moment he acted, he established a principle: absolutely not to force this demon into a dead end, making it desperate enough to self-destruct. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
So when the demon was truly at the end of its strength, he appeared.
Gave the opponent a glimmer of hope.
Deliberately fell into the trap, getting close to the opponent.
Engaging in close combat.
What he needed to do was to destroy the opponent’s body!
Therefore, he risked being bitten and clawed, severely injured, using poison and cold to completely paralyze the opponent’s body.
At the same time, he deactivated the grand formation.
In this way, the opponent naturally had only one path left--the Nascent Soul flying away.
This was also the only path.
So the demon indeed allowed the Nascent Soul to leave the body, after all, cultivating to the Nascent Soul was not easy, transforming into a demon even less so, the demon cherished its life.
Li An was waiting for this moment!
As long as the Nascent Soul remained in the body, it could always channel its full flesh and potential, its self-destruction unrivaled, but once it left, it was like a newborn leaving the womb, the threat greatly reduced.
The lurking Divine Bird’s purpose was to kill the Nascent Soul!
And now...it succeeded.
"Too risky!"
Li An couldn’t help but exclaim, actually when he started, he had only eighty to ninety percent certainty.
If it were before, he definitely wouldn’t have acted, he would let it go.
But now he was too poor, while the enemy was certainly rich.
Which is why, one shouldn’t provoke a poor man, when a person is completely poor, they can do anything.
Recovering a bit of Primordial Qi, he stood up, without hesitation, directly employing the Demon Skill, frantically devouring its flesh and blood, etc.
--To refine them into puppets requires invading their Spirit Platform with Divine Sense before they are entirely dead, now both were completely dead, Spirit Platforms closed and desolate, unable to become puppets.
The demon’s original form was a giant red leopard, weighing over a thousand pounds, Li An frantically devoured it, blood and energy entering his body, generating Demonic Qi continuously, which was converted by the Life Seed into nutrients, the fourth bud rapidly expanding...
His aura continued to climb.
When the giant red leopard was finally drained, Li An’s cultivation broke through Early-Stage Core Formation, directly advancing to Mid-Stage Golden Core, and miraculously, the Life Seed sprouted a fourth branch!
"Truly worthy of Demon Skill..."
Li An couldn’t help but be amazed.
Actually, if not for his Life Seed converting the massive Demonic Qi to promote its growth, just relying on this demon to at least advance to Late-Stage Golden Core!
No wonder Shangguan Xiaoxiao would say, forming a core after three hundred years is the shame of being naturally a Demon Body.
Cultivating this kind of Demon Skill, three hundred years to Divinity Transformation is indeed possible.
This is indeed quite tempting!
But Li An took a deep breath, maintaining inner peace.
No matter how great the Demon Skill, he believed it was inferior to the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill.
Compared to the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, Life Nourishing Immortal Skill is more like orthodox immortal cultivation, steady and solid.
Li An believed that his current perseverance would surely have corresponding results in the future, becoming a Demon Cultivator was never considered.
The demon’s body was already drained, he stored away its storage ring, cut and saved its teeth, claws, and a few precious bones, then thoroughly incinerated the body.
Then, according to method, he swallowed the Late-Stage Core Formation cultivator, his Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivation approached the Perfection state.
Carefully checking the demon’s and elder’s storage bags and rings, he grew increasingly satisfied, only regrettably having to destroy a few marked treasures and Spirit Medicines, causing him quite a bit of heartache.
Carefully cleaning the scene, dismantling the grand formation, he swiftly headed towards Longyu Gorge.
