Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1823: 445: Continued Hunt, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s Methods (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Drawing from his previous encounters, Lu Changsheng understood that he was simply biding his time for Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei True Monarch to arrive.
"Scoundrel!"
Having briefly traded blows with both Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei True Monarch, Lu Changsheng had developed a fundamental grasp of their respective powers.
The Cultivation level of Yun Mei True Monarch was superior to that of Ming Sha True Monarch.
However, because Ming Sha True Monarch possessed the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool as a defensive turtle shell, Lu Changsheng remained uncertain as to which of the two held the advantage in a true fight.
Regarding Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage occurred after Yun Mei True Monarch but before Ming Sha True Monarch. Unless he wielded some legendary supreme treasure, his actual combat effectiveness likely wasn't anything too outrageous.
"Cultivators from the Beast God Mountain primarily fuse demon beasts into their own bodies. It is similar to beast taming cultivators who engage in long-term integration, and they likely possess a raised spiritual beast. Consequently, their combat prowess usually exceeds others of the same rank."
Lu Changsheng contemplated deeply, plotting the best way to execute this Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Aware that Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei True Monarch were in the vicinity, Lu Changsheng decided the wisest course of action was to first test his enemy's techniques and strength before committing to a final strategy.
Otherwise, a reckless all-out assault might result in wasted mana and unnecessary physical strain."Jinpeng!"
From within the Tianyuan Lotus, Lu Changsheng summoned the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Thanks to the consumption of high-grade spirit pills and various heavenly treasures, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s condition had improved significantly.
Nevertheless, such elixirs and treasures required ample time to be fully digested, meaning the Jinpeng had not yet returned to its peak state.
"These past few days have been difficult for you. Shortly, I will take you to settle the score," Lu Changsheng remarked while patting the Jinpeng standing before him.
As a proud and untamed demon king, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng felt humiliated by the relentless pursuit it had endured.
Had it been a wild, three-headed demon king of such ferocity, it likely would have fought to its dying breath rather than submit!
"Screech!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng gave a slight nod, a murderous aura flickering within its golden vertical pupils.
Even though it acted submissively at Lu Changsheng’s side—working hard and even assisting with childcare—it remained an undeniably savage beast at its core!
"Swish!"
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng blurred into motion, diving straight toward the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
As they moved, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone embedded in his chest began to stir, releasing a surging warm current.
The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone acted as a constant buff for Lu Changsheng, provided it wasn't pushed to overload, and could even manifest Healing Divine Light to mend his injuries.
"Hmm!?"
Even though the secret realm suppressed a cultivator's divine sense, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s spiritual instincts were currently heightened. He immediately sensed Yangming True Master and the Peng bird charging toward his position.
"That Peng bird's presence had vanished just a moment ago, yet now it reappears. What sort of trick is this?"
The Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch felt a flicker of surprise.
Upon arriving, he had sensed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s aura fade away, leading him to believe the pair had split up.
Watching them rush him, he let out a cold snort: "Do they truly believe I am the weakest link to be bullied?"
Following the previous unsuccessful pursuit, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch had begun to take Lu Changsheng seriously.
Furthermore, he had been looking for a chance to use a divine ability secret technique to cripple the golden Peng bird before finishing off Yangming True Master, but the opportunity had not presented itself until now.
Their direct charge was exactly the opening he needed!
"Heavenly Silkworm Binding! Heavenly Silkworm Poison Mist!"
As the Golden Peng bore down on him like a streak of golden light, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s bloated, fleshy body erupted with countless crystalline threads. They wove together frantically, creating a massive net that seemed to cover the heavens and the earth.
Simultaneously, a pungent, white vapor seeped from his pores, generating an invisible field of gas.
Golden runes flickered within Lu Changsheng’s eyes, allowing him to perceive the web of threads. In his grip, the Great Luo Sword Embryo hummed, Enveloped in a sharp Qi mechanism and endless sword light.
In that instant, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng heard a maddening buzzing sound. Its Qi and blood began to boil with irritation, and it felt an instinctive wave of revulsion and nausea toward the approaching Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
"Hmm!?"
Noticing the Jinpeng’s distress, Lu Changsheng’s face hardened as he realized something was wrong.
While he hadn't fully gauged the opponent's power, it was clear the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch possessed a specific method to counter the Jinpeng!
"Clang!"
He swung the Great Luo Sword Embryo without a second thought.
A massive, majestic beam of sword light erupted, shining as brilliantly as a midday sun. It carried an edge of absolute sharpness, slicing through the oncoming web of threads.
However, the threads were incredibly resilient. They acted like a formless Qi mechanism, blending into the air and continuing to swarm toward the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s flesh manifested a protective garment of white silk light, shielding him from the Daluo Sword Light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The collision of mana and Qi mechanisms triggered violent explosions. Terrifying ripples in the void radiated outward, causing distant rock formations to crumble and disintegrate.
Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body, which included the Calamitous Poison Body effect, was extremely sensitive to toxins. He realized the silk and gas were a specialized divine power—a blend of toxic demon Qi specifically designed to suppress the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
He quickly activated the Yin Yang Chart and a Third Rank Defense Talisman to block the Qi mechanism. Then, his Brahman Demon True Body materialized as he continued his relentless assault on the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Under the pressure of Lu Changsheng’s sword light, the chest area of the Heavenly Silkworm Robe began to dim. Despite this, the True Monarch remained undeterred, summoning a net-like magical treasure that merged with the invisible threads surrounding him.
However, this silk net was merely a top-tier magical treasure rather than a spiritual treasure. Under the biting sword Qi of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, it began to fray and snap in several places.
"It is no wonder Ming Sha claimed this brat holds a supreme treasure of slaughter!"
The Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s expression turned grave. He surged his Nascent Soul level mana to its limit, pushing his lifebound spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Silkworm Robe, to its maximum potential. The white silk threads radiated a crystalline glow, emitting a shimmering white light and a foul, biting odor.
