Chapter 1864 Slaying the Robber Beast
"Oh?" Jiao'er asked curiously, "That's..."
Xingyuan smiled slightly: "It is a nest of a True Immortal-level Calamity Beast."
As they spoke, the three of them passed through the protective light barrier of the Starry Sky Ancient Realm and stepped into the Sea of Tribulation once again.
Unlike when he first entered, this time with Xingyuan leading the way, Zhang Xuan finally had time to carefully observe this legendary Great Dao Graveyard.
There is no direction, no up or down in the sea of calamity, only eternal chaos.
Countless shattered rules of the Great Dao danced wildly like a blizzard, with occasional massive remnants of the world drifting through the chaos, exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity.
But Xingyuan seemed to know this chaotic place inside and out.
He held a star chart in his hand, on which a small Dao seal slowly rotated, emitting a soft light.
Wherever the light reached, the surrounding turbulent sea of tribulation automatically retreated, opening up a relatively stable passage.
“This is the Star-Fixing Plate crafted by Xing Yi.” Seeing Zhang Xuan’s gaze fall on the star plate, Xing Yuan explained, “It contains a wisp of the aura of the Yi Xing Dao Seal, which can guide the way and avoid turbulent currents in the Sea of Tribulation. Unfortunately… the Yi Xing Dao Seal has not yet been found.”
His tone was calm, but Zhang Xuan could hear the deep sadness hidden within it.
After flying for about three hours, Xingyuan suddenly stopped and pointed to a chaotic expanse ahead: "We've arrived."
Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er stared intently at it.
It was a chaotic zone that seemed no different from any other region.
"This is the lair of a True Immortal peak-level calamity beast, the Thousand-Legged Centipede King," Xingyuan said in a low voice. "Although the Thousand-Legged Centipede King is only at the True Immortal peak, its venom is extremely potent, and it excels at stealth. We once had three True Immortal peak cultivators join forces to besiege it, but two of them were severely injured by it. However..."
He looked at Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "You two seniors are Golden Immortals, just entering the Tribulation Sea. You can use it to practice your skills. If you can get rid of this fiend, there must be many cubs and Tribulation Cores in its nest."
Zhang Xuan nodded, extending his divine sense to carefully perceive the surroundings.
Sure enough, hidden within that seemingly calm chaos was a colossal calamity beast.
It is about ten thousand feet long, completely black, and has a thousand legs, each of which is filled with the power of highly poisonous rules.
At this moment, it is perched on a huge mass of world debris, seemingly asleep.
Around it, there were dozens of faint signs of life.
Those are its descendants, ranging from the early to the middle stages of True Immortal.
"Madam, I'll lead the attack; you cover the rear," Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice.
Jiao'er nodded slightly, the Ice Soul Immortal Sword already in her hand.
The next moment, Zhang Xuan moved.
He didn't use any great supernatural powers; he simply flashed and appeared a hundred miles above the Thousand-Legged Centipede King.
But the moment he appeared, the Centipede King awoke.
Its thousand compound eyes opened at the same time, and Zhang Xuan's figure was reflected in each of them.
Immediately afterwards, a jet-black venom spewed from its mouth, turning into a rain of poison that enveloped Zhang Xuan!
This venom is no ordinary toxin; rather, it is the manifestation of the Great Dao rules of corrosion, which condense the lifelong cultivation of the Centipede King.
Wherever it passed, even the chaotic rules of the Sea of Calamity were corroded and hissed!
"Good timing."
Zhang Xuan neither dodged nor evaded; with a flick of his right hand, a long whip covered in profound Dao patterns appeared in his palm.
Primordial Immortal Treasure - Nine Nether Soul-Locking Whip!
This whip was obtained from the ancient Netherworld, condensed from the energy of the Nine Netherworlds, and contains the essence of billions of souls. It is specifically designed to counter evil, poison, and filth.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan's Nine Nether Soul-Locking Whip transformed into a ten-thousand-mile-long dark dragon. It opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the poisonous rain that filled the sky like a whale sucking up water!
"hiss--!!!"
The centipede king let out an angry hiss.
A hint of fear flashed in its thousand compound eyes—this celestial treasure in the human's hand was actually naturally able to counteract its poison!
But it was, after all, a beast at the peak of True Immortal level, and its ferocity only increased.
With a thousand legs moving in unison, the enormous body lunged at Zhang Xuan at an incredible speed. Each leg was imbued with the power of the rules of poison, transforming into a thousand streaks of dark light that attacked from all directions!
This strike is enough to kill any True Immortal Peak cultivator instantly!
However, Zhang Xuan simply shook his head slightly.
"too slow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sixteen-colored Great Dao ferry suddenly appeared behind him!
As the ferry turns, it sprinkles down the sweet dew of all things.
The thousand streaks of dark light melted instantly upon touching the dew, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
The ferry reversed direction, spewing out black mist that buried immortals.
The black mist transformed into countless phantom chains, which coiled around the Centipede King.
"Click-clack-clack—"
The chain phantom ignored the Centipede King's physical defenses and directly wrapped around its soul!
The true power of the Nine Nether Soul-Locking Whip lies in its ability to lock the soul!
"Awooo—!!!"
The centipede king let out an extremely shrill scream, its massive body struggling wildly.
Its thousand legs danced wildly, shattering the surrounding world's debris into dust.
But the phantom chains tightened their grip, pulling its soul out of its body bit by bit!
Xingyuan, who was watching from afar, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He had seen countless Golden Immortals take action, but he had never seen such a clean and decisive kill!
In a single exchange, the Thousand-Legged Centipede King, a True Immortal at the peak, was completely suppressed and had no chance to fight back!
Is this the difference between a Golden Immortal and a True Immortal?
No, that's not right.
Xingyuan quickly dismissed the idea.
He had seen other Golden Immortals hunt down beasts, and although they were also crushing them, none of them were as easy and effortless as this.
Those Golden Immortals need to devote at least 30% of their energy to resisting the erosion of the Tribulation Sea, and they also need to be wary of the dying counterattack of the Tribulation Beasts when they make their moves. Unlike Zhang Xuan, who completely ignores the chaos of the Tribulation Sea and makes his moves with deadly strikes!
This fellow Daoist from the Nine Realms possesses a foundation so solid and combat prowess so formidable that it far surpasses any early-stage Golden Immortal he has ever encountered!
Just as Xingyuan was shocked, Zhang Xuan had already completed the kill.
With a tremor, the Nine Nether Soul-Locking Whip completely extracted the Thousand-Legged Centipede King's soul, transforming it into a ball of pitch-black light, which was then devoured by the Soul-Locking Whip.
The enormous physical body, having lost the support of the divine soul, crashed down, slamming into a mass of world debris and sending up a cloud of chaos.
Meanwhile, the dozens of centipede larvae in the nest scattered and fled in all directions.
But they can't escape.
A streak of azure sword light traversed the void.
Wherever the sword light passed, time and space froze, and the rules solidified.
The fleeing cubs, along with the turbulent currents of the calamity surrounding them, were frozen into ice sculptures of various shapes.
Jiao'er sheathed her sword, and the Ice Soul Immortal Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.
Xingyuan gasped again.
He recognized that the sword was not an ordinary immortal weapon, but a natal immortal weapon that was in harmony with its master's mind and Daoist principles!
What's even more terrifying is the power of that sword strike.
This fellow Daoist Jiao'er is equally unfathomable!
"Fellow Daoist Xingyuan, these tribulation cores..." Zhang Xuan's voice brought Xingyuan back from his shock.
He came to his senses and quickly stepped forward.
A quick scan with his divine sense revealed a look of joy on his face.
"Although the Centipede King is at the peak of True Immortal, its Tribulation Core is of extremely high quality. As for the thirty-seven cubs, their cultivation levels range from the early to the middle stage of True Immortal. Their Tribulation Cores combined are equivalent to twenty low-grade Immortal Essence Stones!"
