Iron Tail Scorpion, Ice Flood Dragon Advances to Fifth Rank

Time flies, and sixty years have passed.

The Long Yuan Mountain Range are located in the southwest of the Heaven Origin Realm, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Shen Long stood atop a high peak, gazing at the Thunder Cloud high in the sky, a look of worry on his face.

After sixty years of recuperation, Shen Long has fully recovered; the Purple Marrow Essence-Lingering Pill and Snow Ginseng Pill have shown excellent healing effects.

Iron Tail Scorpion swallowed three Fifth-Rank Demon Core, successfully attracting Lightning Tribulation and attempting to break through to the fifth tier.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, with thick streaks of silver lightning tearing through the sky and striking downwards.

Shen Long sensed something, flicked his wrist, and a white light flew out, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar—it was the Ice Flood Dragon.

"Master, I'm about to break through to the fifth rank."

Ice Flood Dragon's tone was urgent.

It devoured the corpse of a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon, and later consumed two more Fifth-Rank Demon Core. It's not surprising that it's now trying to break through to the fifth tier.

"Go somewhere farther away and try to reach the fifth rank! I'll Dharma Protector you."

Shen Long gave the order.

The Ice Flood Dragon agreed and flew off into the distance.

It flew to a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and let out a long howl to the sky.

A dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth rang out, followed by a thunderclap.

The once clear sky suddenly became overcast, with strong winds, lightning, and thunder.

Before long, a huge Thunder Cloud appeared high in the sky, Thunder Cloud and surging, with numerous lightning bolts visible moving about.

A thick bolt of silver lightning ripped through the sky, heading straight for the Ice Flood Dragon.

The Ice Flood Dragon's body emitted a bright white light, releasing a large amount of White Cold Qi that transformed into a thick, white ice armor, protecting its entire body.

The silver lightning struck the white ice armor, causing multiple cracks to appear. However, the cracks quickly healed as a White Cold Qi emanated from the armor.

Time passed slowly, and then lightning flashed and thunder roared. Thick silver lightning bolts struck down, engulfing an area of hundreds of miles in lightning, with waves of air rolling in.

While observing the Iron Tail Scorpion undergoing its tribulation, Shen Long used his Divine Sense to keep an eye on the Ice Flood Dragon's condition.

About half an hour later, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing arcs of electricity in four colors: blue, green, gold, and yellow. The Thunder Cloud quickly transformed into four colors.

"Four-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Shen Long's expression hardened.

The Iron Tail Scorpion attracted three bolts of Four-Colored Divine Lightning. Fortunately, it had consumed a five-thousand-year-old Seven Star Cold Moon Grass, which enhanced its ability to withstand the Lightning Tribulation.

Shen Long frowned and looked into the distance, where a huge ball of silver lightning lit up the sky.

His Divine Sense detected that several Nascent Soul Cultivator were flying towards this location.

"Oh, it's Fairy Chu."

Shen Long let out a soft "hmm," and with a flick of his wrist, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Man flew out.

Unlike before, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox has four tails.

After devouring the corpse of the Silver-Eyed Illusion Fox and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Seven Rosy Jade Lotus, the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox awoke after more than fifty years of slumber, successfully mutated, and grew three tails, becoming Four-Tailed Spirit Fox.

In addition, it can also use its eyes to cast illusions, which is its mutated Divine Ability, or it can be said to be Divine Ability inherited from the Silver-Eyed Illusion Fox.

"I'll go Dharma Protector them, I'll go check on them."

Shen Long gave the order.

"Yes, Master."

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Man agreed.

Shen Long stomped his right foot on the ground, transforming into a streak of Escape Light through the air and flew towards the sky.

In an open area, Chu Buyu was fighting with two Thunder Roar Race cultivators.

She is currently in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and both members of the Thunder Roar Race are also in the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage. They continuously unleash Thunder Method attacks on Chu Buyu.

A shimmering silver Treasure Umbrella floated above Chu Buyu's head, casting a Silver Light Screen over Chu Buyu.

Thick bolts of silver lightning struck the Silver Light Screen, vanishing without a trace as if they were mud entering the sea.

The Spirit Treasure Silver Moon Umbrella was infused with a fourth-order Thunder-Absorbing Bead.

"You killed my master, today is your death day."

Chu Buyu's tone was icy. With a flick of his wrist, three enormous Flood Dragon unleashed their spiritual light and pounced on the Thunder Roar Race cultivator.

The Thunder Roar Race cultivators tried to dodge, but a powerful gravitational force surged forth, causing numerous cracks to appear in the ground. They felt as if their bodies were firmly imprisoned in place, with no way to escape.

With a deafening roar, the three Flood Dragon shattered their defenses and smashed them into a bloody pulp.

The Nascent Soul detached from the body and flew out, its size increasing dramatically, and it was about to self-destruct.

As the bells rang out, the Nascent Soul deflated like a punctured balloon and returned to normal.

A Red Rosy Clouds swept in, enveloping the two Nascent Soul and drawing them into a Blue Gourd.

"Long time no see, Fairy Chu! Congratulations on advancing to the later stages!"

Shen Long offered his congratulations with a smile on his face.

"Senior Shen, what are you doing here?"

Chu Buyu asked in surprise.

"My fellow Daoists from the Big Dipper Pavilion and I were fighting against the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race. I was injured and am healing here. Are you aware of the situation outside?"

Shen Long asked.

Yin Hao and Yin Yue escaped. Instead of heading to the Heaven Origin Mountain Range, he sought a place to heal his wounds.

"The Heaven Origin Race has been defeated. They were previously attacking us from all sides, but now, under Senior Yuan's leadership, we are attacking them instead."

Chu Buyu said.

With the front lines collapsing, the Life Soul Lamp of many Heaven Origin Race cultivators went out, and alien cultivators from the Heaven Origin Mountain Range fled in all directions, emptying the Heaven Origin Race's Treasure Vault.

Human Race cultivators killed some Heaven Origin Race cultivators and, knowing of the Heaven Origin Race's defeat, they no longer hid but contacted other Human Race cultivators to besiege and annihilate the Heaven Origin Race cultivators.

"Where are Yin Hao and Yin Yue? Haven't these two Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators shown themselves?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"We haven't heard anything from them yet."

Chu Buyu shook her head. She seemed to remember something, took out an exquisite Golden Jade Box and a Nascent Soul, and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Senior Shen, this is what I seized from a Thunder Roar Race cultivator. This is his Nascent Soul; it might be useful to you. The Jade Box is enchanted with Divine Sense Divine Sense, which I cannot break."

Shen Long took the Nascent Soul and began searching its soul.

"I'll take this Jade Box. What else do you want? Just tell me."

Shen Long spoke with a pleasant expression, then put away the Golden Jade Box.

"Is it possible for this junior to obtain the elixir to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm?"

Chu Buyu asked cautiously, his face full of anticipation.

"This Seven Treasures Glazed Pill and Golden Blaze Pill can help you break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm. Add to that a fifth-tier Defense Talisman, and whether you can advance to the Spirit Transmutation Realm depends on yourself."

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Box and Talisman that shimmered with Zhang Qing, and handed it to Chu Buyu.

"Thank you very much, Senior Shen."

Chu Buyu said excitedly, accepting the Cyan Jade Box and cyan Talisman with both hands.

"Back then, you Dharma Protector me, allowing me to focus on my breakthrough to the Spirit Transmutation Realm. Stay by my side; it'll be safer for you."

Shen Long said in a friendly tone.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Chu Buyu agreed.

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and a massive burst of Four-Colored Thunder Light shot into the sky.

"You stay here, I'll go check on things."

Shen Long gave the order and flew towards the Four-Colored Thunder Light.

Not long after, he landed in a huge crater belching black smoke. The Iron Tail Scorpion's body was charred black and its aura was weak.

"Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Shen Long asked with concern.

"Thanks to my master for giving me a five-thousand-year-old Seven Star Cold Moon Grass, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to survive."

Iron Tail Scorpion's tone was weak.

A deafening dragon roar rang out, and the Ice Flood Dragon flew over.

It has also successfully survived the Lightning Tribulation and advanced to the fifth rank.

The Ice Flood Dragon's body was covered in blood, and many scales had fallen off, revealing its bones. The Flood Dragon's body was strong; even without consuming the Seven Star Cold Moon Grass, it could withstand the Lightning Tribulation.

Shen Long fed each of them a three-thousand-year-old spirit medicine and then put them into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox and the Tree Man also returned to the Spirit Beast Bracelet. Shen Long took out the Golden Jade Box, his eyes burning with desire.

This Jade Box is very likely related to Cai Lei; otherwise, he wouldn't have given Chu Buyu so many things.

He put away the Jade Box, met up with Chu Buyu, and left.
