I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2437 - 1088: One Sword Slays White Bone
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Looks like your Black Dragon clan is courting total destruction!"
The icy declaration came from "Yuan Zhen" right after she caught the elder Flood Dragon's remarks.
"Hmph, sure, the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor packs a punch, but our clan holds its own strength too. Besides, massive shifts are brewing in the world. Once that hits, the Upper Realm and Lower Realm will clash in war, and it's anyone's guess who gets wiped out!"
From the swirling dark clouds burst a colossal dragon head, thunder booming endlessly around it. A gleaming blue Treasure Bead sat on its crown, fixing a commanding stare on "Yuan Zhen."
"Very well, then we'll start by crushing your Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court right here in the Tianhe Realm."
When "Yuan Zhen" uttered those words, she reached out, and the Tai Peacekeeping Sword—gripped by the Sea Suppressing Bead—flared with dazzling radiance before dropping into her grasp.
[Young friend, I've come down via a Secret Technique, though Zhen'er's own Realm isn't strong enough to handle my complete might; she can manage just one full blow at best, tapping into the full force of the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit. I'll take down the mightiest elder Flood Dragon first, then deploy the Tongtian Refining Road Tower and Tai Peacekeeping Sword to pin the Sea Suppressing Bead while striking hard at the White Bone Demon King and the other Flood Dragon. I need you to help my Sect weather this crisis!]
As Chen Mobai puzzled over the sudden surge of power in Yuan Zhen, a voice he recognized echoed in his mind.
It belonged to Yuan Qingque!
Hadn't he ascended already?
But upon hearing the explanation, Chen Mobai grasped the situation.
The Ancient Sacred Land of the Eastern Continent possessed such deep hidden resources.
Still, it didn't take long for another thought to strike Chen Mobai.
[If the senior unleashes that full strike, what fate awaits Saintess Yuan?]
Without any backlash, the Nine Heavens Morality Sect wouldn't have sealed away such a Secret Technique, reserving it only for desperate moments on the edge of doom.
Chen Mobai had few close allies on the Eastern Continent; Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen stood out as his earliest connections to East Land and his true kindred spirits.
If he could help it, he wanted Yuan Zhen to come out unharmed.
[Should I strike with everything, Zhen'er won't survive!]
Yuan Qingque held nothing back, laying the truth bare to Chen Mobai.
[Any chance to save her?]
Chen Mobai pressed on with his question.
[Well... the descent ritual is in motion now; the only way to stop is if I hold back entirely, but...]
While Yuan Qingque sent this message, his gaze shifted to the two True Spirits glaring with predatory intent and the White Bone Demon King who appeared undecided, letting out a heavy sigh.
[Young friend, I see your sense of justice runs deep, yet to preserve the sect's heritage, I fear Zhen'er has to be the sacrifice this time.]
With those words spoken, Yuan Qingque's face settled into resolve, his mind linking with the Tai Peacekeeping Sword as he readied this Sixth Rank Flying Sword for its ultimate assault!
"In that case, senior, lend me your aid!"
Yet in that instant, Chen Mobai voiced this and instantly shifted position, appearing before "Yuan Zhen" and Ni Yuanzhong.
"Young friend!"
Yuan Qingque's shock hit hard; he was on the verge of warning Chen Mobai against rash moves when a tremendous energy jolted him.
The instant his Second Primeval Spirit fused with the Primordial Yang Sword, amid a glow of Saintly Virtue Pure Light, it shifted into a blazing crimson-gold Cinnabar Phoenix.
Next, a huge Five-Colored Treasure Orb burst from Chen Mobai's chest, radiating streams of five hues, while a peacock decked in Five-Colored Feathers gracefully took flight.
Finally, a Pure Yang Immortal Light ignited between the Cinnabar Phoenix and the peacock, morphing into a regal and stunning Azure Bird.
As the Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect manifested, the trio of Divinity Transformation auras left everyone on the scene in awe!
"This... it's the Saintly Virtue Great Dao!"
Yuan Qingque stared at the Second Primeval Spirit now as the Cinnabar Phoenix, his face etched with utter astonishment.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he had long stepped into the Great Dao, selecting his path. In the Upper Realm, after decades under the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor's guidance, he knew the Three Thousand Great Dao inside out.
Of course, he recognized this Saintly Virtue Great Dao as an Innate Great Dao!
One of the elite kinds, no less.
By all reason, neither the Five Elements Sect nor the Eastern Continent should possess the method to cultivate this Great Dao!
For it already claimed an owner.
The Ancestor of the Central State Holy Land's Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest had merged with this Great Dao, serving as the Human Race's inaugural Saint who once received Dao insights in the Jellyfish Palace.
This realization washed over Yuan Qingque with a wave of regret.
Since Chen Mobai managed to cultivate this Great Dao in the Lower Realm, it showed his exceptional affinity for the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, hinting at his potential to become a Saint.
Had he been in the Central State, he could well be a Saint Heir or even the Saint Master of the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest by now.
A prodigy like that was surely squandered in the Eastern Continent.
In contrast to Yuan Qingque, the White Bone Demon King and the pair of True Spirit Flood Dragons merely detected that Chen Mobai had formed three Dharma Aspects, all reaching Divinity Transformation level.
Their own levels let them sense only the forging and harmony of Great Dao Power inside themselves, blind to the exact Great Dao powering the Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect.
Still, the Five-Colored Peacock born from the Primordial Bead was already throwing the once-steady control over thousands of miles of Water Spirit Qi into chaos, leaving the two Flood Dragons on edge.
"In the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect, no one like you has ever crossed my ears. Give me your name!"
The elder Flood Dragon General pressed the Sea-Suppressing Bead to his forehead. Even against Yuan Qingque, the Ascended Monk, he felt sure of his survival. Thus, confronting Chen Mobai with his Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect on display, his poise stayed rock-solid.
"You're the one hunting my Old Yellow Dragon, right? We've got unfinished business anyway. Time to hash it out now!"
While Chen Mobai declared this, his immense Thousand Swords Dharma Body ascended, blending with the Azure Bird Dharma Aspect to swiftly unfurl the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain across every Divinity Transformation gathered there!
"Law Domain?"
Sensing the sword domain's pressure, the White Bone Demon King voiced his mild surprise.
Chen Mobai was aware that the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace's premier inherited Secret Technique was none other than the Law Domain!
Though uncertain if it matched the Immortal Gate's version, in this world, any domain-related arts marked the hallmark of the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
"Ah, so you're Chen Guixian! Ditching the sneaky ploys and charging out from the Eastern Wilderness to meet your end here!"
From Chen Mobai's statement, the elder Flood Dragon pieced together his identity and burst into laughter.
Across the Four Seas, whenever he fancied a woman from any family, a mere mention usually had her delivered without fuss. His earlier courtesy toward Chen Mobai stemmed solely from the Barren Sea Demon Race next door hyping up his infamy as a Killing God.
After all, Chen Mobai had once detonated the East Wu Spirit Vein, entombing millions from the Demon Race.
While the elder Flood Dragon wouldn't shy from magical duels against Tianhe Realm's peak Divinity Transformations, he steered clear of such unpredictable destructive forces.
Should his actions drive Chen Mobai to obliterate the Eastern Continent's Frontier Three Regions, he'd shoulder some of the fallout, and the once-beautiful East Continent coast reduced to wasteland would harm their grip on the Mysterious Sea.
Weighing these risks, the elder Flood Dragon had unusually shown respect, yet he never anticipated Chen Mobai brushing off his goodwill entirely.
This naturally sparked his fury, though he remained wary of the fallout.
And once Chen Mobai ignited his Tribulation of Deity Transformation, the elder Flood Dragon realized that while this neighbor stayed rooted in the East Continent lands, he'd need to keep relations cordial, avoiding any push that might enrage him.
The elder Flood Dragon's initial scheme was to simply endure with his extended lifespan until Chen Mobai faded.
For he'd learned the young Dragon Girl was still tender; in two millennia, she'd ripen to withstand his desires.
But who would've thought assaulting the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect would draw Chen Mobai into the fray.
This surprise windfall made the Flood Dragon's lengthy whiskers quiver with uncontained glee.
"Father, allow me to put him in his place!"
The nearby young Flood Dragon, eager to please the elder, shot Chen Mobai a frosty look as shadowy Mysterious Dark Yin Thunder coiled around him like a dark thunder serpent.
"Two fellow Daoists, why not hand this kid over to me? Truth be told, Yuan Qingque gives me chills, but taking down a fresh Divinity Transformation? That's easy pickings."
By now, the White Bone Demon King, having eavesdropped, grasped the backgrounds of "Yuan Zhen" and Chen Mobai. Without shame, he pitched straight to the two Flood Dragons.
"Agreed, finish him off first, then erase the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect entirely, and the Tongtian Refining Road Tower falls to us!"
The elder Flood Dragon snapped back decisively, his chief goal this day being the Rank-6 Pagoda.
He knew Yuan Qingque's condition well—one strike at most—and the Sea-Suppressing Bead housed a spell from Ancestor Black Dragon, which he trusted to endure it.
"I just crave the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect's downfall; getting to let Yuan Qingque watch it happen is icing on the cake, hahaha..."
At this juncture, the White Bone Demon King sensed his bones rattling with thrill, overjoyed.
"Shut your trap! Mind your own business!"
Chen Mobai's brow furrowed at the irritating clatter from this skeletal form, so he directed his Second Primeval Spirit—as the Cinnabar Phoenix—to unleash a sword strike!
"Brat, your end stems from backing Yuan Qingque..."
But the White Bone Demon King met the incoming sword without fear, reshaping his right hand bone into a shield for defense while pouring most of his demonic energy to morph the white bone relic into a rugged spear, thrusting relentlessly toward Chen Mobai.
However, just as the white bone spear began forming, not even halfway launched, the White Bone Demon King abruptly felt something wrong.
Sensation fled his right hand.
There, the Cinnabar Phoenix beat its crimson plumage, and the Primordial Yang Sword—previously played down by Chen Mobai—now erupted its full Rank-6 power, amplified by the Pure Yang Scroll of Saintly Virtue Light's clamp on demonic energy, shattering the White Bone Demon King's vaunted barriers in a flash.
The Primordial Yang Sword's drive didn't falter. Under the White Bone Demon King's terrified eyes, it sliced cleanly through the twelve Rank-5 Bone Devil Spirit Lights etched across his frame.
"No way!"
The White Bone Demon King bellowed, planning to detonate his Flying Night Fiend body for a delay so his core white bone relic could flee.
But with the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain locking in, his actions dragged, and the Primordial Yang Sword carved through, making the White Bone Demon King's ancient demonic energy whirl wildly before dissipating like mist.
A piercing phoenix screech rang out!
The Primordial Yang Sword halved the White Bone Demon King without effort, and via the Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound's warp, it pursued the fleeing embryonic white bone pearl relic, circling it lightly.
Amid crackling bursts.
This supreme Rank-5 white bone relic, the Demon Path's crowning treasure, crumbled to pale bone powder under the Primordial Yang Sword in less than a breath.
One of Tianhe Realm's top fifteen powerhouses.
The Northern Demon Path Leader, White Bone Demon King.
Perished!
