Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

”Damn it, when!”

Despair welled up in the Old City Lord’s eyes, as he watched helplessly as even stronger Thunderous Claws than before once again turned into a sea of thunder, submerging his body.

The thunder instantly broke through the defensive spiritual artifact he carried and the array inscribed on his magical robe.

The wild power derived from nature was even on the verge of tearing his nascent soul to shreds, leaving him no chance to escape.

However, just before the Old City Lord’s nascent soul was about to be torn apart, a ghostly figure appeared high in the sky.

A withered hand reached out, surprisingly plucking the Old City Lord’s nascent soul, almost destroyed, out of that sea of thunder.

Before the two Demon Kings could make any move, the figure in the black robe made an exceedingly horrifying act.

He simply stuffed the nascent soul into his mouth, swallowing it as if eating a fruit.

”Hiss... Ah...”

A hoarse sound of contentment echoed across the battlefield.

The skull-like face showed a surprisingly comfort, while the ghost qi around his body surged.

”The taste of a nascent soul... it’s truly wonderful!”

The mutation occurred in less than two moments; the Old City Lord fell, becoming the first nascent soul cultivator to perish in this battle to defend Celestial Star City.

And the black-robed man who devoured the Old City Lord’s nascent soul, who else could it be but Yellow Springs Ascendant?

Other matters he could disregard.

But a single nascent soul was enough for him to break away from the identity of an Old Yinbi, to grab it.

Yellow Springs Ascendant held the sinister black bone pearl in his left hand, his eyes full of undisguised desire as he looked at the two Demon Kings.

It was a thirst for bloodthirsty slaughter, a craving to advance to Divinity Transformation!

”Old Third, go help big brother, I’ll hold off that demon cultivator!”

Canglang Demon King bared sharp fangs, his Thunderbolt Power growing even stronger, staring directly at Yellow Springs Ascendant who came to snatch away the prize.

Thunderbolt restrains ghostly creatures, this is also universal in the Cultivation Realm.

Canglang Demon King’s current second-stage transformation, similar to a Super Saiyan, although not sustainable, can still temporarily tangle with the opponent relying on Thunderbolt Power.

The characteristic of magical combat in the Cultivation Realm is that the stronger the cultivation, the harder it is to kill.

You can easily defeat the opponent, but it’s often very difficult to kill them completely.

If not for the two Demon Kings joining forces, plus the hundreds of thousands of mortals and cultivators of Celestial Star City being a burden, and the two Demon Kings being a level superior in the realm, the other side might not have died so straightforwardly.

If a nascent soul cultivator is determined to escape, it’s not so easily stopped.

The escape speed of the nascent soul itself, combined with various means like resurrection, external incarnations, Ten Thousand Miles Shifting Talisman, etc., makes it incredibly difficult to kill a high-tier cultivator in battle.

This is also why Yellow Springs Ascendant and three Demon Kings had to plan for so long for a small Celestial Star City.

It was to ensure the Old City Lord could be killed here.

A nascent soul, whether for a Demon King or a demon cultivator, is undoubtedly a great supplement.

”Second brother, the demon cultivator’s methods are strange and varied, be careful!”

Glancing at his elder brother, Cyan Wood Demon King gritted his teeth and nodded, then turned back and charged towards Celestial Star Child.

”Go!”

Canglang Demon King was surrounded by whistling Thunderbolt Power, emitting a growl characteristic of canine animals threatening their enemies.

In just two or three seconds, he had finished gathering strength.

Without any hesitation or warning, Canglang Demon King instantly moved.

Facing an opponent much stronger than himself, defense would be a slow death.

Only by attacking, madly attacking, was there a sliver of hope for survival!

Yellow Springs Ascendant was frantically refining the nascent soul he swallowed, spiritual power in his body surging like a rushing river, the smile on his face growing even more.

He could feel it, the progress in his cultivation that had stagnated for so long was finally appearing, and he was getting closer and closer to the gateway of Divinity Transformation.

Almost pushing open a small crack in that door!

Yellow Springs Ascendant looked at the Canglang Demon King charging straight at him, his mouth emitting a sinister laugh.

”Mere Thunderous Grey Wolf, are you fit to be my enemy, Yellow Springs Ascendant? Just relying on your weak Thunderbolt Power? Hehehe...”

Yellow Springs Ascendant waved his wide robe, and dozens of silvery white figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Canglang Demon King’s inevitable path.

Looking closer, they were nothing like normal creatures.

But dozens of silvery white skeletons!

Each skeleton exuded the aura of the Late Golden Core Stage, eye sockets flickering with scarlet flames.

The dozens of skeletons moved as one, their qi mechanisms vaguely connected.

Working together, using quantity to overcome, they showed faintly a pressure not inferior to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Canglang Demon King’s eyes turned blood-red, carried the Thunderbolt Power as he charged into the skeleton horde, but surprisingly couldn’t blast through the seemingly weak skeletons.

Instead, he was stopped, caught in a marsh-like close-quarter brawl.

These skeletons, though only possessing the strength of the Golden Core Stage, had incredibly hard bones, and even if Canglang Demon King hit with full force, he could only barely smash a few bones.

But such damage to skeletons who knew nothing of death was as good as no injury.

The thunder, usually effective against ghostly creatures, frantically washed over the skeleton horde, merely making the silver light on them shine brighter.

Rather than injury, they grew even stronger!

What on earth are these ghostly things!

Canglang Demon King’s scalp tingled, eyes filled with even more bloodthirst and ferocity.

...

On the ground, Lu Wenwu looked up to the sky.

Although the scenes just described seemed extensive, they actually happened incredibly fast, all completed in a flash.

From the rampaging black tornado to the Old City Lord’s death, to the confrontation between Canglang Demon King and Yellow Springs Ascendant, the whole process was merely a matter of seconds.

Originally, it was just Celestial Star City against the Demon Race, but now, with Yellow Springs Ascendant’s black tornado and ghost soldiers attacking indiscriminately, it instantly became a three-way melee.

Interestingly, after Yellow Springs Ascendant joined the battle, the collapse speed of Celestial Star City’s defenses unexpectedly slowed compared to before.

In some sense, Yellow Springs Ascendant even helped Celestial Star City to some extent, delaying the speed of breaking the city.

”Yellow Springs Ascendant... It’s over now... All over...” The Vice Tower Master murmured to himself on the ground, his body trembling incessantly.

Just one late-stage nascent soul Demon King was already ridiculously strong, and now, with the addition of a peak nascent soul Yellow Springs Ascendant, the famous demonic demon, Celestial Star City is in peril.

He simply didn’t believe Lu Wenwu had the capability to counter the long-renowned Yellow Springs Ascendant.

Lu Wenwu raised his head to the sky, then suddenly threw a punch in a certain direction.

”Puff!”

The sound of a head exploding reached his ears, as a headless corpse immediately appeared from the air, slowly collapsing to the ground.

The aura of the Late Golden Core Stage slowly dissipated from the body.

The originally somewhat dazed Vice Tower Master was instantly jolted, staring blankly at the headless corpse that had instantly perished in front of him.

Lu Wenwu raised a hand, drawing the corpse towards him, reaching into its dantian.

With a pull and a draw.

A ping pong ball-sized Golden Core was forcibly plucked out of its dantian.

This Golden Core wasn’t as smooth and golden in luster as Lu Wenwu imagined.

Instead, its surface was pitted, filled with a hazy black mist.

[Demonic Secret Technique Golden Core]: 1428/1500

[Cultivation]: Late Golden Core Stage

[Current State]: Gradually disintegrating, spiritual power dissipating, blood evil spreading

[Analysis]: Refined and modified by Yellow Springs Ascendant using several normal Golden Cores, implanted into the dantian of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, granting them power comparable to the Late Golden Core Stage, but they would fall under Yellow Springs Ascendant’s absolute control, with lifespan rapidly decreasing

After examining the Golden Core for a moment, Lu Wenwu stowed it into his personal backpack, raising his head to the sky once more.

”This Yellow Springs Ascendant is quite talented, to even come up with such a method.”

[Yellow Springs Ascendant (A+)]: 10 3247/101 0000

[Cultivation]: Late-stage Nascent Soul

[Current State]: Continual refinement, cultivation rising, ghost qi amplifying, yin qi amplifying, spiritual qi control, puppet control

[Analysis]: A demonic cultivator skilled in manipulating souls and puppets, extremely proficient in stealth and escape techniques, a master-level array master, currently controlling his self-created array—Yellow Springs Ghostly Array
