Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#696 - Chapter 695 Seizing the Opportunity (4000 words)
The Snow Fox Great Demon's fur was as fluffy as cotton, trembling violently in the air currents, yet its figure was light, drifting erratically as it descended.
It was an old demon that had cultivated for thousands of years, its realm already in the mid-stage of Transformation. With its vast experience, it had some guesses about this strange existence beneath the water, but it wasn't certain.
Some impatient demons had already launched attacks on the existence below through the cracks in the rocks. However, the real threats were the innate abilities of some Core Formation demons, such as wind, fire, ice, and poison. Only these attacks could penetrate the stone crevices and land on that existence.
"Roar!"
The existence let out an angry roar, like muffled thunder coming from the depths of the earth. Tens of thousands of green branches, like spears, pierced out from between the stones, killing the demons falling from the sky.
Screams rose and fell. The Spirit Awakening Realm demons had almost no power to dodge these branch attacks. Most were killed with a single strike, and even if they dodged the first attack, they would be pierced by the successive branches.
The Core Formation Realm demons still had the power to resist, dodging the branches with their agile reactions, while quickly counterattacking and cutting them off.
After these branches were cut off, the severed section would quickly wither and release a light green mist, while the section connected to the bottom would either be retracted or continue to extend, continuing to attack the demons.
The Snow Fox Great Demon casually struck out, shattering all the hundreds of attacking branches, and a worried expression appeared on its face as it saw the light green mist becoming increasingly dense.
Its body also contained poison, and it was compatible with most toxins, but the existence below was of a different category after all, and its poison might have strange properties, so it didn't dare to swallow it directly.
It held its breath, its fur circulating with energy, blocking the green mist from the outside. Finding a gap a丈wide, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat out several small white stones.
The existence below was huge and unable to move, so it was hit in an instant. The moment the small stones touched its body, they released a viscous liquid that stuck to it.
The existence shook its huge body, and the boulders pressing on it rolled around, but the viscous liquid was like something that had grown on its body, not a single drop falling off.
After a few breaths, the viscous liquid began to smoke, with what looked like white fire inside, and the fire grew stronger.
"Aowu! ——"
The existence let out a painful roar, its body twisting, and the boulders covering the water made sounds of collision and grinding.
After a moment, a mass of water-colored substance shot up from below, throwing all the boulders away, and many of the demons on them were also sent flying, some even having their bones shattered and directly turning into a cloud of blood mist.
This water-colored mass was originally a chaotic团, but after rushing out, it quickly shrank and changed, soon turning into a giant flower, with the petals and calyxes all water-colored, and the area behind the calyxes was dark, quite similar in color to the silt at the bottom of the water.
At the same time, a strong fishy smell spread out, causing many demons to vomit.
This giant flower opened and closed again, making a huge whooshing sound, and a powerful air current swept past, sucking all the demons still nearby into the petals.
The Snow Fox Great Demon had already flown high into the sky, looking at this giant monster with a stern expression. With its realm and strength, it felt somewhat powerless in the face of such a monster.
On the outside of one of the calyxes, the white fire generated by the viscous liquid was still burning, but through the water-colored petals, it could be clearly seen that from the center of the flower, streams of blood-red liquid were rapidly flowing towards the location of the white fire.
That white fire was called Xi Poison, a venom it had refined when it relied on its innate ability to swallow the morning sun and cultivate. Usually, it was stored in its belly in the form of stones. When facing an enemy, it would spit it out to attack, and once it hit, it would stick to the enemy's body and burn on its own. The fire would not stop until the venom was exhausted.
After thousands of years of cultivation, excluding what it had used in the past, the Xi Poison stored in its belly was enough to incinerate ten Great Demons. However, with the body of the monster in front of it, even using up all of its Xi Poison would not be enough to kill it.
At this time, the blood-red liquid in the petals had already poured into the wound burned by the white fire, flowing into the white fire. The white fire made a hissing sound, instantly producing a large amount of green smoke, and the fire snake visibly shrank, eventually returning to silence.
And the blood-red liquid continued to flow to the wound, quickly solidifying there, soon turning into a red scar. However, after only a few breaths, the color of the scar completely faded, turning into the same color as the calyxes, and it was no longer possible to see anything unusual.
"Roar!"
The flower opened, letting out a sharp roar at the Snow Fox Great Demon in the sky, and suddenly rushed upwards, covering the Great Demon.
Beneath the flower was a thick, dark black vine, soft and long, like a rope.
The Snow Fox Great Demon's eyes lit up. Seeing the monster's flaw, it immediately twisted its body, its fur trembling, quickly moving horizontally, dodging the flower's attack, and instead leaping downwards, its feet straightened, its sharp claws extended, pouncing towards the dark black vine.
As the water-colored flower rushed into the sky, pulling the vine, Zhang Yuanjing "saw" with his divine sense that the giant tuber began to shrink violently, and the golden light团attached to its roots also began to flicker, as if a powerful force was pouring into the tuber along the main root.
Zhang Yuanjing didn't understand what this golden light团intended to do, but if it had spirituality, it would definitely not sacrifice itself to fulfill this monster.
At this time, he was only a hundred or so丈away from the light团. With its vigilance, it must have already discovered his approach. It still hadn't left, and instead divided more power to the monster, obviously carrying out a plan that was extremely important to it.
Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, held the Refine Yang Umbrella in his hand, and quickly burrowed downwards. When he was more than ten丈away from the light团, the earth force above suddenly increased for some reason, pressing him down uncontrollably towards the light团.
He thought to himself that this was bad, knowing that this was the light团's method, and quickly put away the Sky Covering Technique, stabbing the Refine Yang Umbrella downwards, hitting the light团directly.
"Boom!"
It was like a silent sonic wave, instantly crushing through his mind, and all the surrounding sounds disappeared. He seemed to have lost consciousness, entering a state of ignorant and unconscious chaos.
However, after only half a breath, a voice entered his mind: "Master, an extremely powerful force has drilled into the umbrella from that light团, Zhang Umbrella can't control the Refine Yang Umbrella!"
It was Zhang Umbrella's voice! Memories flooded back like a tide, filling a blank sea of consciousness, and Zhang Yuanjing recovered.
He quickly asked, "What power? Is it another kind of spiritual sense?"
"No. It's just a power, a very strong power, stronger than the Refine Yang Umbrella. Zhang Umbrella can't stop it. Zhang Umbrella can't maintain the connection between Master's divine sense either, Master…"
The thought transmitted by Zhang Umbrella came to an abrupt end.
"Zhang Umbrella? Zhang Umbrella!"
Zhang Yuanjing tried to contact it with his divine sense, but he felt a distinct power filling the Refine Yang Umbrella, blocking the connection between his soul and Zhang Umbrella.
Moreover, the Refine Yang Umbrella was firmly attached to his palm, and he couldn't shake it off at all.
Unlike the Refine Yang Umbrella, no power came into his body. On the contrary, a strong suction force came from the umbrella, easily drawing out his Thick Earth power.
Although he forcibly circulated the Thick Earth Creation Technique and took Qi replenishing pills, it was useless. The suction force was too strong, far beyond what he could contain. In just a few breaths, more than 10% of the magic power in his dantian was gone. If this continued, at most a hundred breaths, the Golden Core would shatter.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, thinking about ways to save the crisis. Before long, he came up with an idea. He took some of the gray particles obtained from refining the magic worms, swallowed them, and used the Swallowing Technique to refine Turbid Power, mixing it into the Thick Earth power, allowing that power to draw it away.
At first, there was no reaction. After more than ten breaths, the power suddenly paused and withdrew the suction force.
Zhang Yuanjing's hand holding the Refine Yang Umbrella slightly loosened, and the umbrella handle showed signs of detachment. He gripped the umbrella handle again, but continued to swallow gray particles, refine Turbid Power, and guide the Thick Earth power mixed with Turbid Power into the Refine Yang Umbrella.
The power filling the Refine Yang Umbrella originally wanted to prevent Zhang Yuanjing's magic power from invading, but it was interfered with by the Turbid Power, and its aura was unstable, inevitably revealing a gap. Zhang Yuanjing seized the opportunity to drive his magic power in, and made the gap bigger and bigger.
"Master, Zhang Umbrella can talk to you again!" Zhang Umbrella's voice was a little weak, but full of surprise.
Zhang Yuanjing kept running his power and continued to pour magic power into the gap, transmitting his thoughts and asking, "Zhang Umbrella, why are you so weak? Can this invading power hurt you?"
Zhang Umbrella was the spiritual sense of the Refine Yang Umbrella, not a physical object. As long as the Refine Yang Umbrella was still there, it would not disappear, unless it was attacked by spiritual sense or divine sense.
"Master, Zhang Umbrella doesn't understand what's going on either. Just the flow of this power in the umbrella can generate a suction force that draws away my spirituality," Zhang Umbrella said uncertainly. "But, it's better now. The suction force has suddenly weakened a lot, and Master, after you came, Zhang Umbrella can slowly recover."
Perhaps it was because it had said too much, Zhang Umbrella seemed a little tired.
Zhang Yuanjing said, "I understand roughly. Don't transmit any more thoughts to me, and focus on recovering your spirituality."
Zhang Yuanjing continued to send Turbid Power-infused magic power into the Refine Yang Umbrella, destroying the strong and strange power. At the same time, he pondered the light团's plan.
Judging from the monster's reaction to the demons' invasion, it seemed to be in some kind of interference. Otherwise, with its strength, it should not have tolerated those demons rampaging in the water at will, let alone not reacting at all when hundreds of巨石were砸落, until the Snow Fox Great Demon took action and caused serious damage before it angrily counterattacked.
At this time, the battle on the ground had already ended. The Snow Fox Great Demon tried to cut off the vine, but this thing was very tough, and it failed after several attempts. And the monster also had some reservations, only opening its petals to attack a few times. It didn't even use the branches that could cover the sky and the earth, and stopped, shrinking back into the泽to confront the Snow Fox Great Demon.
The Snow Fox Great Demon was an old demon who had accumulated experience over the years. From the monster's actions, it judged that it must be restrained by something and unable to fight with all its strength. Therefore, it was not in a hurry to act, but waited for an opportunity.
It didn't dare to get too close to the ground. Therefore, although it also heard the movement in the ground, it could not clearly identify the situation in the ground because Zhang Yuanjing and the light团were fighting more than six hundred丈underground.
Zhang Yuanjing guessed that the light团was sending its own power into the monster's roots, not to help it, but to extract its spirituality, just like it did to Zhang Umbrella. In this way, its purpose was obvious - it was to剥取the spirituality of other things to form its own spiritual sense.
The targets it was targeting, one was the spirit of the weapon, and the other was the monster, were two types of spiritual objects in the world that were extremely difficult to generate spiritual sense. This undoubtedly showed that this light团was also a similar thing. Since it was produced from the giant rocks of the Six Yang Mirror, it might be the prototype of some kind of stone monster.
Thinking of Lu and Ji, one called the thing in the Six Yang Mirror a celestial metal stone, and the other called it a celestial meteorite. Both were stones, both from outside the sky. Therefore, although it had been nourished by the giant rock for an unknown number of years, it had never been able to condense that strand of spiritual sense because it was not compatible with the spiritual mechanism of this world.
Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision. He took out the black mud thing, swallowed it, and circulated the擎天訣, refining it together with the gray particles. This was not to炼骨, but to support the earth force that was about to flood in like a tide.
"Zhang Stone, go to the roots of this monster and swallow its wood core!"
Zhang Stone transformed into stone armor covering Zhang Yuanjing's body, silently enduring the endless powerful earth force. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanjing suddenly said this, and its childish voice even carried some surprise: "Master is letting Zhang Stone eat now? Okay, Zhang Stone will go now!"
Like a gluttonous child, it jumped excitedly, detached from Zhang Yuanjing's body, transformed into a black pebble the size of a蠶豆, burrowed into the earth, and disappeared.
Zhang Yuanjing then groaned, forcibly circulating the擎天訣to relieve the pain under the pressure of the earth force, while continuing to send Turbid Power into the Refine Yang Umbrella.
Because he had to be distracted by the擎天訣, the amount of Turbid Qi he refined was greatly reduced, and the power in the Refine Yang Umbrella began to shrink the gap.
However, this situation only lasted for less than ten breaths before it reversed.
The powerful force suddenly shrank and retreated from the Refine Yang Umbrella, returning entirely to the light团, while the power pouring into the monster's roots began to increase sharply.
Zhang Yuanjing knew that Zhang Stone was starting to attack the wood core, and the light团, seeing that it was difficult to successfully剥取the spirituality of the Refine Yang Umbrella, simply gave it up and tried its best to seize the wood core.
Zhang Yuanjing said, "Zhang Umbrella, you control the Refine Yang Umbrella and suck the power from that light团over!"
"Ah, Master, it was so difficult to drive it away, why do you want to suck it back!" Zhang Umbrella was a little puzzled.
"Suck it over, weaken it, so we can deal with it!" Zhang Yuanjing explained simply, "Act quickly! Suck as much as you can, don't worry about them being out of control!"
Zhang Umbrella didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly responded, "Yes, Master!"
The tip of the Refine Yang Umbrella was still inserted into the light团. Therefore, with just a little force, it sucked in a flood-like power.
The light团realized the Refine Yang Umbrella's plan and took advantage of the situation to pour power into it, trying to scare Zhang Umbrella.
Zhang Yuanjing was prepared and still渡入Thick Earth power containing Turbid Qi into the umbrella, occupying a space to ensure that Zhang Umbrella could transmit divine thoughts to him. In this way, the power entering the Refine Yang Umbrella was actually a waste of effort.
Therefore, the light团retracted the power again. However, at this time, the Refine Yang Umbrella would not let it do as it wished, intercepting a large团of this power and storing it in the umbrella. At the same time, it continued to吸取its power from the light团.
The light团tried to counterattack a few times, but was unable to completely eliminate Zhang Yuanjing's magic power. In the end, it had to ignore the Refine Yang Umbrella, allowing it to汲取a little power, and put most of the power into the monster's body to剥取its spirituality.
After about thirty breaths, Zhang Stone's excited voice reached his mind: "Master, Zhang Stone has eaten the wood core!"
