Slaying the Venomous Flood Dragon King and Pacifying the Evil Water Marsh!
Golden scales floated in the sky, flowing with ancient and weathered Dao patterns.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of a thousand miles instantly froze at this moment, and a Nascent Soul pressure that surpassed the Golden Core and was above all living beings descended with a roar.
This is not simply spiritual oppression, but an absolute crushing of life levels.
A hundred miles away, Sun Chengzu's thirty-six flying swords cried out in unison and fell into the water. He groaned, his knees buckled, and he almost knelt down, only managing to hold on by his Sword Qi.
The Golden Crocodile's massive body was pressed directly into the mud at the bottom of the water, unable to move, and its vertical pupils were filled with despair.
The icy aura surrounding Shi Yin dissipated completely, and his limbs trembled.
Below the Nascent Soul, all are but ants!
"Hahahaha!" The Venomous Flood Dragon King's remaining right eye blazed with madness, its hundred-foot-long body coiling beneath the golden reverse scales, greedily absorbing that vast aura.
"You silly bear! What do you think you have to fight me with!"
"Ignorant little demon, do you think you can look down on all living beings just because you have a little talent! This is an unparalleled Divine Ability bestowed upon you by our clan's ancestor. Today, you will all die!"
Shi Jian stood in the void, his purple-gold Lightning Armor shattering inch by inch under the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator.
Bones cracked under the strain, flesh tore, blood flowed freely, and bones snapped and flesh exploded!
Shi Jian withstood the pressure and remained unmoved.
"A mere scale of an inanimate object dares to make me bow my head?"
Shi Jian roared in his mind, "Purple Firmament! Lend me all your power!"
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the illusory figure of Purple Firmament, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of amusement, yet without any rejection.
Instantly, a surge of thunderous energy erupted along Shi Jian's meridians.
The celestial energy is constantly changing.
The Dragon-Binding Abyss, which was originally shrouded in golden light, was suddenly torn open by a huge void rift. The purple-gold lightning that filled the sky instantly darkened and transformed into a deep black-purple divine lightning!
Shi Jian's aura surged, breaking through the shackles of the Golden Core Middle Stage realm and leaping into the Golden Core Late Stage realm, directly approaching the realm of Golden Core Perfection!
His twenty-foot-long bear body swelled again, transforming into a fifty-foot-long thunderous form.
His eyes were like the sun and moon, his breath like wind and thunder, and with every move he made, space collapsed inch by inch. His aura even faintly resembled that of Nascent Soul.
"That's impossible!"
The Venomous Flood Dragon King roared, its voice filled with barely concealed terror.
"You are the ant!"
Shi Jian descended like a thunder god, raising his colossal, sky-covering claws and grabbing straight at the golden reverse scale.
The Venomous Flood Dragon King went completely mad, spitting a mouthful of Essence Blood onto its reverse scale.
"Ancestor, save me!"
The golden reverse scale shone brightly, transforming into a nearly thousand-foot-long five-clawed golden dragon phantom, coiled above a section of the sky.
The golden dragon phantom coiled in the heavens, its dragon might vast and boundless. Its mouth opened, spewing out a dazzling dragon breath. Wherever the dragon breath passed, the void was annihilated, and all laws were emptied.
Shi Jian faced the dazzling dragon breath and fiercely swung his claws.
The Purple Firmament Golden Lightning and the Nascent Soul Dragon Breath collided violently, and in an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the sun and moon Lightless!
The water veins of the Dragon-Binding Abyss were completely cut off by this attack, the riverbed collapsed, and subterranean fire surged and erupted from the depths of the earth!
The space within a radius of hundreds of miles was violently shaken, the universe was reversed, and yin and yang were in chaos.
At the eye of the storm, the Shi Jian against the onslaught of the dragon's breath.
The flesh of his right arm was instantly vaporized, revealing the purplish-gold bones, while the left half of his body was a bloody mess, with the bone clearly visible.
The cost was extremely high; large amounts of flesh were torn away.
But he didn't pause for even a moment.
Using the immense power of Purple Firmament's possession, he forcefully tore apart the ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon phantom and roared to the sky!
"Crush me!"
The lightning claw swept away everything in its path, seizing the golden reverse scale in one swift motion.
A torrent of violent lightning power poured in, causing the Dao patterns on the Reverse Scale to flicker violently. Finally, it let out a low, mournful cry, its light dimmed, and it fell into Shi Jian's palm...
The phantom image dissipated.
The Venomous Flood Dragon King stood frozen in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His greatest trump card, an invincible Nascent Soul technique, was actually crushed by this bear's bare hands! What kind of technique was that?!
Shi Jian exhaled slightly, then swept across again.
With a flash of lightning, a fifty-foot-tall thunderous avatar instantly appeared above the Venomous Flood Dragon King's head, its claws reaching out to firmly grip the Venomous Flood Dragon King's vital spot.
"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"
I am the Boundless Sea...
"Noisy."
Shi Jian exerted force with both arms, Purple Firmament Golden Lightning pierced through the dragon's body.
"Sizzle!"
Blood rained down from the sky, and the Venomous Flood Dragon King's enormous body, which was 150 feet long, was torn in two by Shi Jian!
A fist-sized, purplish-black seventh-level Demon Core burst forth from its body, attempting to escape, but was caught in Shi Jian's hand with a single claw.
Then, a thunderous roar erupted, completely obliterating the remaining soul of the Venomous Flood Dragon King.
The overlord of the Southern Region, a level seven great demon, the Venomous Flood Dragon King.
Thus, he fell!
A deathly silence fell over the world, broken only by the dripping sound of poisonous blood splattering onto the parched riverbed, the earth itself corroding and decaying...
Shi Jian gasped for breath as Purple Firmament's power receded like a receding tide.
His body shrank to ten zhang in size, covered in blood, his aura extremely weak, his right arm showing bare white bone, and a bloody hole the size of a bowl in his chest...
But he still stands tall in the sky.
He held in his hand the seventh-level Demon Core, which exuded a rich aura of Blood Qi.
Its lingering power remains, suppressing all ages.
In the distance, the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon and the Jade Wave Flood Dragon witnessed the gruesome sight of the Venomous Flood Dragon King being torn apart. Terrified, they lost all courage to fight and turned to flee madly into the depths of the Southern Region.
"Slaughter them all, leave no one alive!"
Shi Jian's furious voice shook the heavens and earth, and his words echoed throughout the entire world.
"I will obey the ancestral decree!"
As the oppressive feeling dissipated, Sun Chengzu was the first to launch a sudden attack. Thirty-six flying swords transformed into Dark Gold, tearing through the sky in the blink of an eye and instantly cutting off the path of the Jade Wave Flood Dragon.
The sword formation unfolded, a net stretching to the heavens and the earth.
"Die!"
With a flick of his sword, Sun Chengzu unleashed countless Sword Qi that pierced through the scales of the Jade Wave Flood Dragon, tearing it apart and leaving it covered in blood.
The Golden Crocodile burst forth from the mud, its pent-up frustration transforming into boundless rage.
His massive body tumbled in the water, and he bit directly into the tail of the Jade Wave Flood Dragon.
"Today, I, Lao Tzu, will also have a bite of dragon meat!"
The Golden Crocodile spun wildly, its terrifying strangulation force tearing the lower half of the Jade Wave Flood Dragon apart. The Jade Wave Flood Dragon screamed repeatedly, and under the combined attack of the sword formation and the Golden Crocodile, it quickly lost its life.
On the other side, Shi Yin faced off against the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon.
The Frost Snow Giant Bear strode through the air, and with each step it took, vast expanses of frost condensed in the void, accompanied by blizzards!
"Freeze!"
Shi Yin slammed his palms down, and the extreme Extreme Cold instantly froze the waters within a ten-mile radius. The massive body of the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon was frozen solid within the ice, unable to move.
The Red-Scaled Flood Dragon struggled frantically, its fiery red scales exploding with intense heat in an attempt to melt the ice.
Just then, two bolts of purple-gold lightning descended from the sky.
Despite his Shi Jian delivered the final blow.
Frenzied Thunder struck overhead.
The heads of the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon and the Jade Wave Flood Dragon exploded instantly, their souls and spirits annihilated in a flash.
The two level-five Demon Core were also collected by Shi Yin and Golden Crocodile.
Thus, the three Golden Core Demon General of the Southern Region Flood Dragon Python Clan were completely wiped out.
The remaining Foundation Establishment Water Dragon and Python Demon were leaderless and completely collapsed, scattering and fleeing into the eight wastelands.
However, on the periphery, the cultivators of White Cloud Temple and various Demon Beast factions had already laid a trap, and a one-sided massacre was unfolding in the Southern Region water system.
Blood stained the entire Evil Water Marsh.
Shi Jian descended from mid-air, stepping onto the tattered corpse of the Venomous Flood Dragon King.
Sun Chengzu, Golden Crocodile, and Shi Yin quickly gathered around, and their hearts trembled at the sight of Shi Jian's terrible injuries.
"Ancestor, your injury..."
Sun Chengzu immediately took out a bottle of top-grade healing pills.
"It's alright."
Shi Jian waved his hand, refusing to accept the pill.
His Demon Beast body has amazing regenerative abilities. Moreover, this injury is worth it to exchange for a level seven Demon Core and the entire Evil Water Marsh.
He opened his left hand.
The golden reverse scale, its light dimmed, lay quietly in his palm.
Although the Dao patterns on the reverse scale were damaged by the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, the aura belonging to a Nascent Soul level Flood Dragon was still terrifying.
"The Boundless Sea..."
Shi Jian narrowed his long, narrow pupils and looked toward the far south of the Evil Water Marsh.
There, the waterways meet the Boundless Sea.
With the Venomous Flood Dragon King dead, the owner of this reverse scale will surely sense it. A Nascent Soul level Flood Dragon will never let this go unpunished.
But so what?
Shi Jian suppressed his anger and gripped the level-seven Demon Core core tightly.
Once he swallows this Demon Core, he will be able to fully reach the Golden Core Late Stage, and within two hundred years, he will surely touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul.
When that time really comes, what will Nascent Soul be? He won't be afraid of it in the slightest!
"Pass down the order."
Shi Jian's voice, carried by his true essence, resounded throughout the entire Southern Region.
"The Evil Water Marsh the four regions; from this day forward, all are under my rule."
Those who obey will prosper, those who defy will perish!
"All demons shall submit, receive protection, and a new talisman shall be opened!"
"All cultivators can serve me, gain fortuitous opportunity, and establish their own clans!"
At this moment, Thunder Sound rumbled, sweeping across all directions.
All demons bowed their heads, and all cultivators worshipped!
His demonic power swept across hundreds of miles; storms were his cries, thunder was his roars. He rode the wind and treaded the clouds, wielding the power of thunder and lightning!
All this happens today!
