Chapter 726: Chapter 726

The lightning dispersed, and the Green Wind Falcon and the Lion-tiger Beast lay in a pool of blood, their heads bearing several dreadful blood holes, lifeless.

Shen Long’s mouth corners lifted slightly. He had cultivated the Myriad Beasts True Scripture. His Dharma Nature could suppress Monster Beasts of the same rank without a True Spirit Bloodline, and even suppress those a minor realm higher, while those two minor realms higher would still be affected.

The Dharma Natures of other Void Refining Cultivators from the Qianling Sect did not possess such divine skills, at most capable of utilizing some divine skills of the Monster Beasts.

Shen Long’s Dharma Nature could suppress Monster Beasts of the same rank without a True Spirit Bloodline. Transformed into a Mountain Giant Ape, he could command Demon Apes of the same rank; those with Mountain Giant Ape bloodlines were no exception.

The Lion-tiger Beast and Green Wind Falcon, both at the early stage of the sixth rank, could not resist at all.

"It’s bad, he’s cultivated the Myriad Demons True Scripture, capable of utilizing some of the divine skills of True Spirits, run quickly."

Teng Kui exclaimed in horror, his eyes filled with fear.

His body radiated with a vigorous blood glow, ready to employ a secret technique to flee when a thick bolt of golden lightning flew towards him, arriving instantly before his face.

He punched out, a blood-colored giant fist flashing forth, crushing the golden lightning.

Overhead, the void fluctuated, and a blue dragon claw covered with dragon scales appeared, reaching down to grab him.

A blood-colored jade pendant on Teng Kui’s chest shone brightly, a thick curtain of blood-colored light flashed into existence.

The blue dragon claw struck the blood-colored light curtain, which shattered instantly like paper mâché,

He raised his hands to block above his head, but the blue dragon claw pierced through them.

The blue dragon claw’s momentum was unstoppable, piercing through Teng Kui’s body. A Nascent Soul, resembling Teng Kui closely, sprung free from the body as a silver Talisman descended from the skies, adhering to the Nascent Soul, causing its gaze to turn vacant.

On the other side, the woman in the golden dress and the man in the yellow shirt transformed into two escape lights, flying in opposite directions.

The Blue True Dragon’s body shone with spiritual light, morphing into a thousand-foot-tall Yellow Giant Ape, whose right foot stomped heavily on the ground, unleashing a powerful force of gravity that slowed the flying speeds of the woman in the golden dress and the man in the yellow shirt.

Two thick silver lightning beams tore through the sky, striking them with precision, as silver lightning engulfed their figures.

Thousands of crimson fireballs fell from above, followed by a series of thunderous explosions, as two huge balls of crimson flame lit up the sky.

A Golden Great Rod descended from the heavens, entering into one of the balls of lightning. A Nascent Soul resembling the woman in the golden dress flew out, her expression frantic.

A swath of golden radiance fell from the sky, covering the Nascent Soul and drawing it into the maw of the Golden Flame Lion, which swallowed it.

A yellow glint flashed, and an enormous, magnified yellow seal appeared above another ball of silver lightning, smashing down face-first.

With thunderous roars that shook the earth and mountains, a Nascent Soul resembling the man in the yellow shirt emerged from underneath the ground. A beam of golden radiance descended from the sky, enveloping the Nascent Soul and whisking it into Shen Peng’s mouth, who then swallowed it.

The Yellow Giant Ape reverted to human form, taking the appearance of Shen Long.

Shen Long flew over, seizing Teng Kui’s Nascent Soul and subjecting it to a Soul Search.

"Master Jinqiu! Myriad Demons True Scripture! Blood Apricot Fruit."

Shen Long’s brows furrowed.

Teng Kui and the others had come to this sea area searching for Master Jinqiu, who hailed from the Thunder Continent and was a Unity Cultivator. It was very possible he perished on the Green Lotus Continent.

The high ranks of the Bloodvine Clan issued orders to search for Master Jinqiu in secret. Teng Kui accidentally discovered the location of an ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling. After they managed to break the seal with great difficulty, attracting much attention, they entered to hunt for treasure and obtained many valuable items, including the Blood Apricot Fruit.

The Blood Apricot Fruit was effective in strengthening the physical body, especially suited for Void Refining Body Cultivators.

More than thirty thousand years ago, six Unity Cultivators from the Bloodvine Clan entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb to hunt for treasures. They encountered two Unity Cultivators, one of whom was practicing the Myriad Demons True Scripture.

A fierce battle ensued, with the Bloodvine Clan losing five Unity Cultivators and severely injuring one, slaying one enemy and learning that the fellow practitioner’s companion was cultivating the Myriad Demons True Scripture, capable of utilizing some divine skills of True Spirits.

"Myriad Demons True Scripture differs by only one word from Myriad Beasts True Scripture, and judging from the divine skills, they seem to be the same method of practice. It appears that there are quite a few high-level cultivators practicing this technique," Shen Long muttered to himself, handing over Teng Kui’s Nascent Soul to Shen Peng to be consumed.

Even in human form, Nascent Souls were still a great tonic for cultivators like Shen Peng.

Shen Long looted the possessions from the enemies’ bodies, while Shen Peng devoured the corpses.

"Your Excellency is divinely empowered, I am in awe," Shen Peng said.

The Golden Flame Lion started to curry favor with flattery.

When Shen Long summoned his Dharma Nature, they felt an inexplicable fear.

"You’ve performed well, enter the Qinglian Map to rest for now!"

Shen Long collected them into the Qinglian Map and arrived at the entrance of Yuangui Hall with Shen Peng.

Shen Long swung the Golden Great Rod, smashing it towards the hall doors.

With a loud noise, the doors splintered into pieces, revealing a spacious and bright main hall; to the left, a mural was carved into the stone wall, depicting a giant turtle making its way across the sea.

Shen Long sacrificed a Divinity Transformation Stage Rune Soldier to enter the Yuangui Hall.

The Rune Soldier went around inside the Yuangui Hall and did not trigger any prohibitions.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes emitted blindingly bright golden light, and it said, "Master, there are prohibitions on the mural."

Shen Long and Shen Peng walked in and approached the mural.

Light shot out from each of the Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes, falling onto the mural and causing ripples to spread across its surface; a golden light screen flashed into existence, its surface covered with mysterious runes and displaying a lotus pattern.

"This is the Golden Lotus Heavenly Perception Array, a Divine Sense prohibition."

Shen Long recognized this Formation.

His forehead emitted a bright spiritual light, and a two-zhang-long red light blade shot out, striking the golden light screen.

A dull sound resounded, and the golden light screen rippled, its brilliance dimming.

Shen Peng’s forehead burst with spiritual light as he released a zhang-long golden light blade, which struck the golden light screen, but it remained intact.

Shen Long furrowed his brows tightly and stimulated the Spirit-Enhancing Pearl, causing his Divine Sense to surge dramatically.

A five-zhang-long red light blade flew from his forehead, hitting the golden light screen and shattering it instantly.

The turtle pattern seemed to come to life, letting out a loud beastly roar as the mural split in two, revealing a passageway paved with blue stones.

"Master, there are five stone chambers with tightly closed doors, and the interiors cannot be seen clearly," said the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

Shen Long formed a spell with his hands, and the Rune Soldier walked in with large strides, turning left after more than ten steps to see the five stone chambers with their tightly closed doors.

The Rune Soldier walked towards the front and did not set off any prohibitions.

Shen Long and Shen Peng entered and arrived in front of the first stone chamber.

Shen Long struck with a punch, and the doors shattered in response, revealing a hundred-zhang-sized stone chamber.

Inside the chamber was a Formation several dozens of zhang in size, the surface of the Formation had hundreds of uniformly sized grooves, each holding a Spirit Stone, most of which had been depleted of Spiritual Energy.

"Top-grade Spirit Stones!"

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Long’s eyes; there were more than twenty top-grade Spirit Stones here, revealing the substantial wealth of the owner of this cave dwelling.

He did not concern himself with the Formation and moved on to the entrance of the second stone chamber, punching out.

The door shattered in response, revealing a pool several dozens of zhang in size that contained a seven-colored liquid, and within the pool were two Seven-Leaf Jade Lotuses.

Above the pool hung a row of colorful stalactites of varying lengths, all dripping with seven-colored liquid.

"Qixia True Water! Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus."

Shen Long was overjoyed.

Both Seven-Leaf Jade Lotuses were over twenty thousand years old and could be used to refine Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills, which he could use to cultivate more Mutated Spirit Beasts.

Shen Long carefully picked the two Seven-Leaf Jade Lotuses and sacrificed a blue jade bottle to collect the Qixia True Water.
