Fourth-Rank Flood Dragon

Yuan Rui looked towards Qin Wang's location, and Qin Wang just then vanished in a gust of yin wind.

"Junior Brother Shen, be careful."

Yuan Rui reminded him.

Shen Long had already released the Golden-Winged Wind Peng, which merged with him. A gust of cold wind blew past him, and Qin Wang appeared.

Qin Wang opened his mouth and spat out a Black Sound Wave, which went straight for Shen Long.

Shen Long's golden wings flapped gently, and he disappeared from his spot, causing the Black Sound Wave attack to miss its target.

Qin Wang frowned, and with a gentle flap of his Black Bat Wings, he vanished in a gust of cold wind.

Yuan Rui sensed something was wrong and was about to use other Divine Ability when an extremely shrill Ghost Wail wail rang out. Upon hearing this sound, he immediately felt his head sink and he couldn't even stand up straight.

Two thick yellow chains burst from the ground and bound Yuan Rui's feet.

At the same time, a huge seal with constantly flowing black light descended from the sky and smashed towards Yuan Rui.

The Black Giant Ape, wielding a long Black Long Staff, swung it at Yuan Rui.

Yuan Rui swung his Golden Long Staff, which clashed with the Black Long Staff, producing a dull thud as metal struck metal.

A blinding golden light shone from his body, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle separated from him. With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle vanished from its spot.

Yuan Rui's body swelled up, transforming into a gigantic Golden Giant Ape with bared teeth.

The Golden Giant Ape's left hand transformed into a fist, meeting the Black Giant Seal -on.

The Black Giant Seal was held aloft by the Golden Giant Ape, whose body plummeted rapidly toward the ground and disappeared into it.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Qin Wang appeared, a round bead with constantly flowing black light appearing in his right hand.

The Soul-Extinguishing Bead is a one-time use item that specifically targets and damages the soul.

No matter how strong Yuan Rui's physical body is, if his soul is injured, his strength will drop drastically.

A gust of wind blew by, Shen Long appeared beside Qin Wang without warning.

Qin Wang reacted quickly, his body radiating black light, and a thick Black Light Screen appeared to protect his entire body. He opened his mouth and spat out five White Bone Blade shrouded in black mist, which merged into one halfway, transforming into a White Giant Blade that rushed straight towards Shen Long.

Shen Long's body shone with a bright red light, and numerous Red Dragon Scales grew. The White Giant Blade struck the Red Dragon Scales, producing a muffled sound like metal clashing.

Shen Long let out a deafening dragon roar, spewing out a Red Sound Wave that quickly swept past the Black Light Screen. The spiritual light of the Black Light Screen dimmed, and a long staff flashing with red light fell from the sky, smashing into the Black Light Screen. The Black Light Screen shattered instantly, like paper.

The Red Long Staff struck Qin Wang on the head, and his head instantly exploded.

Qin Wang's defenses were utterly ineffective against Spirit Treasure.

A nascent Nascent Soul resembling Qin Wang flew out of Shen Long's body, was caught by him, had a Silver-Glowing Talisman affixed to it, and was put into a Jade Box.

From the moment Shen Long made his move until he killed Qin Wang, less than three breaths had passed.

"Spirit Treasure!"

The Black Giant Ape cried out in alarm, its eyes filled with fear, and transformed into a streak of black Escape Light, disappearing into the void.

"Leave it here."

With a loud roar, the Golden Giant Ape stomped its right foot hard on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly. A powerful force of gravity surged forth, and the Black Giant Ape's body plummeted uncontrollably towards the ground.

As soon as it landed, a thick Golden Thunder Pillar descended from the sky and struck the Black Giant Ape precisely.

A deafening explosion rang out, and the Black Giant Ape was engulfed by Golden Thunder Light.

A Red Giant Staff descended from the sky and disappeared into the Golden Thunder Light, causing the earth to shake and a huge crack to appear in the ground.

A black Escape Light shot out from the lightning and flew off into the distance at a great speed.

The ground shook violently, like an earthquake, and numerous cracks appeared, which continued to widen.

The black Escape Light stopped, revealing Su Liang's figure, who looked panicked; his Ghost Creature had been killed.

He never expected that Shen Long possessed Spirit Treasure and that his Life-Bound Spirit Bird was at the fourth rank. Had they known this, they would never have made a move.

This is not surprising, Su Liang. He had been in the Nascent Soul stage for over a hundred years and had not yet cultivated a Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature, while Shen Long had only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, yet his Life-Bound Spirit Bird had actually grown to the fourth rank, which was unbelievable.

With a whooshing sound, a Golden Giant Fist flashed by and instantly arrived in front of Su Liang.

Before Su Liang could dodge, the Golden Giant Fist struck his Body-Protecting Spirit Light Body-Protecting Spirit Light, causing it to cave in and become barely visible.

A thick Golden Thunder Pillar descended from the sky, striking Su Liang's Body-Protecting Spirit Light, and the Golden Thunder Light enveloped Su Liang's figure.

A Golden Long Staff descended from the sky and disappeared into the Golden Thunder Light. Su Liang's corpse fell rapidly from the lightning, and a nascent Nascent Soul that looked exactly like Su Liang flew out of his body.

The Nascent Soul, its face contorted in a ferocious expression, charged straight at the Golden Giant Ape.

The Golden Giant Ape snorted coldly, opened its mouth, and spewed out a Golden Sound Wave to meet the attack.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle unleashed dozens of Golden Thunder Ball that hurtled towards the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul's body rapidly expanded, then exploded instantly, engulfing an area of hundreds of miles, filling the air with smoke and dust.

A quarter of an hour later, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the area within a hundred miles was razed to the ground. A Golden Giant Ape stood on the ground, with a shield shimmering with yellow light in front of it.

With a flash of golden light, the Golden Giant Ape transformed into Yuan Rui's appearance.

A gust of wind blew by, Shen Long appeared, with a pair of golden wings shimmering on his back.

Su Liang's Nascent Soul self-destructed, Shen Long used a self-destructing defensive treasure to protect Yuan Rui, then used Wind Evasion Technique to avoid it.

In a flash of inspiration, the Golden-Winged Wind Peng separated from Shen Long.

Shen Long put the Golden-Winged Wind Peng into his Spirit Beast Bag, looked at Yuan Rui, and said, "Senior Brother Yuan, are you alright?"

With a flick of his wrist, the Yellow Shield transformed into a large patch of shimmering yellow sand, which flew back into his sleeve.

"I'm fine, Junior Brother Shen. Your Life-Bound Spirit Bird has advanced to the fourth rank?"

Yuan Rui asked in surprise.

If he remembered correctly, Shen Long had only been in the Nascent Life-Bound Spirit Bird had already advanced to the fourth rank. This meant that the Bloodline Purity of Shen Long's Life-Bound Spirit Bird was also very high. Spirit Bird with low Bloodline Purity would not be able to advance to the fourth rank so easily.

"The North Sea Cultivation World is rich in Demon Beast resources. It has devoured many Demon Core of fourth-tier Demon Bird, otherwise its growth rate would not be so fast."

Shen Long told the truth.

He was telling the truth. If the Golden-Winged Wind Peng hadn't consumed several Wind-Attribute Fourth-Order Demon Core and a few Millennium Green Wind Grass, it wouldn't have advanced to the fourth tier so quickly.

"It takes skill for you to obtain quite a few Demon Core from fourth-tier Demon Bird."

Yuan Rui praised, then, as if remembering something, said enviously, "Junior Brother Shen, you have quite the fortuitous opportunity, possessing a powerful Spirit Treasure."

For a Body Cultivator, possessing a heavy Spirit Treasure can greatly enhance their strength.

"I obtained this treasure by sheer luck."

Shen Long explained.

Yuan Rui nodded and put away the yellow chain.

The Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle descended from the sky, its right claw gripping a black Storage Bag — Su Liang's Storage Bag.

Yuan Rui put away his Storage Bag and said, "Junior Brother Shen, let's go back!"

He climbed onto the back of the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle, with Shen Long following closely behind.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle soared into the sky at great speed.

After the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle flew more than 10,000 miles away, a huge red mushroom cloud appeared in the distant sky, and the ground shook slightly.

Yuan Rui frowned, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle stopped.

Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Oh, it's Fairy Chu! She's being attacked by Barbarian Race cultivators."

Shen Long let out a soft "Eh."

"What? Did you run into someone you know?"

Yuan Rui asked.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Decades ago, she and I were trapped in the Spirit-Severing Sea. It was thanks to her help that I obtained a powerful Spirit Treasure."

"Let's go help her! And while we're at it, we'll slaughter the Barbarian Race."

Yuan Rui said, making a hand seal, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle flapped its wings gently, flying away into the distance.

In an open area, Chu Buyu was wielding five red-glowing Flying Dagger, fighting against a burly man in a blue robe. The man in the blue robe held a Cyan Spear, and a huge Cyan Wolf Phantom floated in the air above his head.

Chu Buyu made a hand seal, and the five Red Flying Knife merged into one, transforming into a Red Giant Blade over ten feet long, wrapped in Crimson Flame, carrying astonishing heat as it hurtled straight toward the burly man in the blue robe.

The burly man in the blue robe snorted coldly, flicked his wrist, and sent his Cyan Spear clashing with the Red Giant Blade.

With a muffled clang of metal clashing, the Red Giant Blade flew backward.

A thick Golden Thunder Pillar descended from the sky, heading straight for the burly man in the blue robe.

Just as the burly man in the blue robe was about to dodge, he was surprised to find that a powerful force of gravity had appeared out of nowhere, firmly holding him to the ground.

He had nowhere to hide. The Cyan Wolf Phantom above his head unleashed a Cyan Sound Wave, heading straight for the Golden Thunder Pillar.

The Cyan Sound Wave collided with the Golden Thunder Pillar, and both perished.

Chu Buyu summoned a white, shimmering seal, infused it with a spell, and the White Seal emitted a blinding white light, its size swelled, and it crashed towards the burly man in the blue robe.

The burly man in the blue robe quickly brandished his Cyan Spear, unleashing a barrage of spear shadows that struck the White Seal White Seal after another, sending it flying backward.

A Golden Thunder Light flashed behind the burly man in the blue robe, and Yuan Rui appeared, with a pair of Golden Feather Wings on his back and a Golden Long Staff in his hand.

Yuan Rui opened his mouth and spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning, which struck the Body-Protecting Spirit Light of the burly man in the blue robe precisely. The blinding lightning engulfed the man's body.

Yuan Rui swung his Golden Long Staff, and a series of whooshing sounds rang out as heavy staff shadows swept out and disappeared into the lightning. A series of muffled thuds followed, and a man's scream could be faintly heard.

A nascent Nascent Soul resembling a burly man in a blue robe flew out of the body. Before it had gone far, a Red Giant Hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul's face contorted in a ferocious expression, its body swelled dramatically, and it burst open, unleashing a massive burst of azure light that engulfed an area spanning dozens of miles.

The blue light dissipated, revealing a huge pit.

A thick red light barrier enveloped Chu Buyu, and he remained unharmed.

Shen Long descended from the sky and landed in front of Chu Buyu.

"Fairy Chu, are you alright?"

Shen Long asked.

"I'm fine. I'm so grateful to have met you all this time, otherwise my little sister would have been in grave danger."

Chu Buyu expressed her gratitude, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I've discovered a fourth-tier Flood Dragon. Are you interested?"
