Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 392 - 325: Starting Off by Pawning 100,000 Ancestors!
Su Yuan estimated slightly that the current temperature was no less than ninety degrees, if not a hundred.
The ground temperature was even higher, with water splashing onto the stones evaporating instantly with a sizzle.
Under such circumstances, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Su Yuan felt a bit hot. For the ancient Human Race, no matter how robust their physique, it wouldn’t be long before they fainted from the heat, or went into shock.
He and Chen Nuoyi were clearly playing the role of tribe leaders, so how should they get out of this predicament?
The best solution was naturally to throw the hundred thousand mortals directly into the Tribulation Moon Pearl.
Though they would be eroded by Evil Qi, it shouldn’t be a problem in the short term.
However, this was clearly a violation, and it didn’t match the theme of the entire trial, and doing so would certainly result in a warning from Long Bai.
So... I can’t possibly learn from Hou Yi and shoot down the sun, can I?
These nine Golden Crows seemed to be close to Golden Core in strength; taking them on wouldn’t give him much of an advantage.
Just as Su Yuan was hesitating whether to go all out from the beginning, Chen Nuoyi spoke:
"Su Yuan, I think these nine Golden Crows must be killed, otherwise the Illusion Realm won’t put them hovering over our heads right at the start of the trial."
"As long as we can deal with these Golden Crows, their bodies will be our first pot of gold."
Su Yuan thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"You take the hundred thousand mortals and find a place to shelter them temporarily, don’t let them be roasted to death. I’m going to meet these Golden Crows."
Chen Nuoyi was about to speak, suggesting that she wanted to fight alongside Su Yuan.
But when she saw the Black Lotus Mark floating on Su Yuan’s brow, with the illusion of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea adorning him, she swallowed back her words.
She only hoped that Su Yuan would show some restraint later.
Nearly half a year had passed since military training, and Su Yuan had also formally learned the Boundless Dao Seed, which could be activated at will without squeezing Qi Hanyan.
Then, Su Yuan summoned the Ancient Sword Armor to merge with himself.
With layer upon layer of buffs, Su Yuan’s momentum was like a rainbow, nearly becoming the strongest creature in this Illusion Realm World.
Then, with the Chi Yuan Sword in his left hand and the Profound Strange Sword in his right, Su Yuan soared into the sky, charging toward the nine Golden Crows.
The nine Golden Crows were clearly highly intelligent, for when they saw a creature full of Demonic Qi attacking them, they immediately fluffed up, spitting a stream of True Sun Flame at the intruder.
However, the True Sun Flame, which was supposed to burn through the earth, had no effect at all in front of the Ancient Sword Armor refined by modern Cultivation Technology.
Su Yuan advanced straight to the front of the Golden Crows, immediately preparing to use the Demon Technique·Finger Beast.
Compared to killing the Golden Crows, enslaving them was obviously more to Su Yuan’s liking.
But to Su Yuan’s surprise, the activation of Demon Technique·Finger Beast failed.
Su Yuan thought for a moment, and immediately realized that it wasn’t that these Golden Crows were strong enough to be immune to Demon Technique·Finger Beast, but rather, the True Sun Flame surrounding them was also a shield.
While the Ten Demon Fingers are known to be versatile, they all had the common drawback of being unable to target protected entities.
This defect was already evident in the Demon Technique·Finger Body, and naturally, the Demon Technique·Finger Beast inherited this flaw.
Therefore, to enslave these nine-headed Golden Crows, the first thing to do was to extinguish the True Sun Flame on them.
So, what countered fire most effectively?
Water, naturally.
Does Su Yuan have any Daoist Techniques or Divine Techniques related to the Path of Water?
To be honest, no.
However, with only a moment’s hesitation, Su Yuan came up with an alternative.
Su Yuan’s heart moved, and the Tribulation Moon Pearl hung overhead like a blood moon, above the nine Golden Crows.
Even facing nine suns, the light of the blood moon did not dim in the least!
The Golden Crows immediately felt a strong sense of crisis from the blood moon, spitting True Sun Flame at it without hesitation.
But it was too late.
The next moment, an immeasurable deluge of blood water poured out from the Tribulation Moon Pearl, drenching the nine Golden Crows.
It was water from the Sea of Blood.
If this were a real battle, Su Yuan would undoubtedly feel heartache over such a spend of the Sea of Blood, but fortunately, this was an Illusion Realm.
Though entering in his true form, upon leaving the Illusion Realm, all depletions would be replenished. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
This meant that Su Yuan could fight without any concerns.
The True Sun Flame and the water from the Sea of Blood clashed fiercely, instantly filling the air with an extremely unpleasant burnt smell.
Water and fire were locked in a stalemate for just a moment before the former outright suppressed the latter, drenching the nine Golden Crows.
The sizzling sound was incessant, and their True Sun Flame visibly diminished in strength.
Normally, although water counters fire, the Golden Crows, being Righteous Divine Beasts, should have their True Sun Flame restraining all things sinister, and should counter the Netherworld Blood Sea instead.
But Su Yuan was an exception!
[Deceitful Sword Physique Level 2 Effect: You can counter any Evil Extermination Technique that ought to counter the Demon Dao.]
Relying on the Reversed Celestial Spirit of the Deceitful Sword Physique, the more something was supposed to counter the Demon Dao, the more it was countered by Su Yuan.
Water over fire, magic over righteousness, these double counters naturally put the nine Golden Crows at a disadvantage!
However, even with the Netherworld Blood Sea fully countering the Golden Crows, their resistance remained strong.
These nine brothers, faced with danger, actually linked together and formed a united front, with the nine suns forming an Extreme Yang Array, stubbornly enduring all constraints.
These nine brothers were indeed the mythical experts at flying kites who successfully outran Kuafu, seeing they couldn’t defeat Su Yuan, they turned to flee.
If they escaped, the crisis of the hundred thousand mortals would be temporarily resolved.
But Su Yuan always believed in eliminating evil thoroughly. If he let them run now, wouldn’t they return to harass them more wildly in the future?
He had no intention of becoming Kuafu 2.0.
Su Yuan thought for a moment and then took out a Gold Coin from the Tribulation Moon Pearl, specifically the Dragon Emperor Coin.
To fully unleash the potential of Dragon Emperor Coin, naturally, a credit limit was indispensable.
However, upon just a little sensing, Su Yuan discovered that, seemingly to prevent cheating in the trial, the Dragon Emperor Coin was not connected to Su Yuan’s actual-world assets, but to his assets in the Illusion Realm.
Which meant those hundred thousand mortals.
Their valuation... was quite considerable.
Su Yuan toyed with the Dragon Emperor Coin slightly, aiming at the nine Golden Crows.
Equivalent exchange! Activate!
Ten thousand ancestors, I pledge you all as collateral, please lend me your power!
As Su Yuan shouted in his mind, the Dragon Emperor Coin sparkled with gold, an invisible force immediately linked to the nine Golden Crows.
The next moment, the special feathers on the Golden Crows’ bodies, capable of generating True Sun Flame, vanished into thin air.
The massive disappearance of feathers made the nine Golden Crows feel like bald phoenixes, uglier than chickens.
Their True Sun Flame was instantly suppressed to its lowest.
A torrent of blood water rained down!
