Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928
This final tribulation thunder, the heavenly thunder has transformed into a Thunder Dragon, its power is not less than a strike from a Spiritual Treasure, completely reaching the full strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
It crashed onto the giant Stone Turtle, and just the aftershock from the explosion collapsed the surrounding ground by several feet!
When the searing thunder light dissipated, a Stone Turtle with its entire body crumbling stood there silently, as if it were dead.
However, seeing Zhou Chun’s relieved and smiling face, the actual result was evidently not so.
Sure enough, as the thunderclouds in the sky rapidly dispersed, the Stone Turtle’s body began to slightly tremble as it exited its petrified state.
By the time it completely emerged from the petrified state, silver nectar began to pour down from the sky.
This time, the descending "Emperor Flow Nectar" was at least thirty percent more than when the Silver Dragon Monarch and Fengyuan Monarch experienced theirs.
When the silver nectar poured down, all Spirit Beasts within the Spirit Beast Pouches at the waists of the Zhou Family cultivators seemed to feel something, all of them were eager to come out.
Moreover, those Demon Beasts that had previously been frightened into hiding by the tribulation thunder, now as if forgetting their fear, unconsciously moved towards the place where the "Emperor Flow Nectar" fell. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIꜰire.net
But with Zhou Chun and powerful figures like the Silver Dragon Monarch and Fengyuan Monarch protecting the area, naturally, no outsiders could take the opportunity of the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone.
Zhou Chun himself only routinely collected less than ten percent of the total "Emperor Flow Nectar" for nurturing the four Hexapterous Ice Silkworms.
As for the family juniors, it’s difficult for him to give it to anyone now, so he might as well not give it to anyone, letting them cultivate their Spirit Pets through their own opportunities.
So after the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone absorbed the "Emperor Flow Nectar", it first returned to Green Lotus Peak to recuperate and consolidate its cultivation level, and Zhou Chun returned to the cave dwelling with other Spirit Pets.
Even though Zhou Chun and his Spirit Pets left, the news of this grand event was just beginning to spread.
Including the previously confirmed Silver Dragon Monarch and Fengyuan Monarch, after the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone ascended to Demon King, the Zhou Family now had three Fifth-Order Demon Kings.
This rare situation, possibly the entire Human Clan Cultivation Realm couldn’t find another power like it.
Not to mention the main character of this event, the Bearer Tortoise, which had been extinct in the Cultivation World for many years!
When the news spread in all directions, many high-level cultivators who received this intelligence were filled with one question.
How did Zhou Chun accomplish all of this?
The difficulty of nurturing a Fifth-Order Demon King is no less than a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and in some ways, even more difficult.
It’s not a matter of cultivating a magical beast to Fourth Order Superior, and then preparing a Dharma Treasure for it to undergo a tribulation to succeed.
Like the Zhou Family’s Fourth Order magical beast Fire Divine Jackal, and Zhou Daoyi’s Green Flood Dragon, even if they were forcibly raised to Fourth Order Superior, or even Fourth Order Perfection, and prepared with Peerless Dharma Treasures or even Spiritual Treasures, they had virtually no chance of surviving the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
Because a magical beast breaking through to Fifth Order and inducing a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is just the beginning.
Those with poor bloodline magical beasts need more tribulation thunder to temper their bodies and bloodlines to reach the Demon King level standard.
If one entirely relies on treasures to resist the tribulation thunder, even if they ultimately pass the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, their cultivation level will remain at Fourth Order, with no future opportunity to induce another Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!
This point is even reflected in the Golden Winged Tiger.
In the future, if the Golden Winged Tiger wants to ascend to Demon King, it at least needs to reach the level at which the Silver Dragon Monarch was at that time to possibly succeed in ascending.
So the poorer the bloodline of the magical beast, the harder it is to become a Demon King.
But this kind of difficulty does not seem to exist in Zhou Chun’s Spirit Pets.
His current three Demon King Spirit Pets, each one was already at the "Demon King Physique" stage before becoming a Demon King.
As long as they survived the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, they were destined to become a Demon King!
This makes people extremely envious and confused. How did he manage to cultivate these Spirit Pets into "Demon King Physique"?
Excluding Fengyuan Monarch, the initial origins of the Silver Dragon Monarch and the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone are no secret.
One was an intermediate magical beast, the Silver Lightning Python, and the other was a low-level magical beast, the Rock Earth Turtle.
In the eyes of high-level cultivators, these two kinds of magical beasts are not rare or unique magical beasts. While not overwhelmingly common, finding similar magical beasts is not difficult.
But even if one searches through the classics, there might be examples of a Silver Lightning Python transforming into a flood dragon, but the instances of a Fifth-Order Thunder Flood Dragon and Fifth-Order Bearer Turtle evolving from these kinds of magical beasts only happened in Zhou Chun’s hands.
This inevitably leads people to suspect that Zhou Chun has some special treasure that allows these low- to mid-level magical beasts to defy the heavens and change their fate!
However, now that Zhou Chun’s grand strategy has been realized, even if someone is suspicious of this, it can only remain at the suspicion stage.
There is simply no possibility of using any coercive means to force him to confess everything.
So these speculations, doubts, and discussions are destined to remain at this stage.
Not long after, the Gold Armor Turtle Bearer Stone, having taken human form, also made a public appearance in the Zhou Family.
He was bestowed by Zhou Chun with a title, named Fushan Monarch.
His appearance after transformation was that of a burly man bearing a turtle shell, with his muscles bulging, exuding a very intimidating presence.
But this was definitely not just a show of strength, but truly substance.
As a Demon King, Fushan Monarch’s divine skills were truly "vast and mighty".
The bloodline divine abilities of the Bearer Tortoise Clan were fully developed at this time.
His various divine skills, especially the [Magnetism Divine Light], due to the strengthening and enhancement of bloodline talent, became powerful enough to make many Early Nascent Soul cultivators emotionally collapse when facing him!
The race’s innate divine skill [Mountain Morphing], once unleashed, can disregard any Fifth Order Inferior-level attacks, powerful enough to make ordinary Early Nascent Soul cultivators despair!
Similarly enhanced by advancement, the [Immortal Body] divine skill ensures that even when facing attacks capable of harming him, he would not easily suffer serious injury.
More formidable still was his Earth Escape divine skill.
As a Fifth Order Inferior Bearer Turtle, his Earth Escape divine skill reached a level of ultimate mastery, allowing him to delve a thousand feet below the ground in a mere moment, traversing a hundred miles in the blink of an eye!
This means that as long as he doesn’t leave the earth, does not enter areas where the Earth Escape divine skill is difficult to perform, and is not confined by Formation Prohibitions, even Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivators or Fifth-Grade High-Level Monster Kings, who are much stronger than him, have no way to threaten his life!
He even self-awakened the "Metal Escape Technique" divine skill, where his attainments in this escape technique were not less than those of Zhou Chun, who had immersed himself in this path for hundreds of years!
Upon ascending to the Fifth Order, Fushan Monarch also awakened three innate divine skills, namely [Magnetism Field Domain], [Annihilating Roar], and [Mountain Moving and Carrying].
Of these, [Magnetism Field Domain] is a domain skill formed on the basis of the [Magnetism Divine Light] divine skill, which is versatile in both offense and defense, with infinite marvelous uses.
[Annihilating Roar] is a very powerful attacking divine skill; the voiceless and shapeless annihilating power can crush mountains and destroy peaks, sinister and deadly.
[Mountain Moving and Carrying] is also a versatile attack and defense divine skill, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, directly relocating mountains to suppress enemies.
Because Fushan Monarch needs to stand on the earth to exert his true strength, Zhou Chun also found it inappropriate to test his full strength.
However, based on his limited tests and information gleaned from their conversations, in terms of defensive power, Fushan Monarch should surpass many Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators; in terms of escape ability, comparable to Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivators, and in terms of attack capabilities, comparable to Early Nascent Soul cultivators with Spiritual Treasures in hand.
His only shortcoming is that he only exerts his full power while grounded on the earth.
Once in the sky or in water, some of his powerful divine skills become difficult to perform.
This makes him the best guardian for the mountain gates.
In the future, if not considering his own safety in going out, as long as he guards the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, even if a Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivator comes knocking, they might not be able to force their way in!
