Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 696: Chapter 336: Swallowing a Spirit Pill, I Finally Know My Fate Is Beyond Heaven! Kill, Kill, Kill (Part 2)

Nine fire dragons soared into the sky, the profound aura staining the moonlit clouds, startling the immortals in the cave.

The Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield engulfed with a mighty force, pressing towards Zhang Evil. Meanwhile, Zhang Fan stomped the ground with one foot, darting in another direction.

”Kid, you can’t escape.”

Zhang Evil let out a long howl, his chest heaving like a bellows. The next moment, a sharp whistle pierced through the cold, clear street like a siren, and a fierce gale surged from his mouth, as if descending from the nine heavens, crushing the nine fire dragons into pieces.

This wasn’t a Daoist Skill, but the power of Zhang Evil’s physical body.

Sect Leader Realm, with an Inner Core formed, the human body transforms, with a robust physique. The lungs breathe like a wind tunnel, akin to a heavenly aperture, the breath inhaling and exhaling covers the clouds.

”Indeed, a powerful Sect Leader!”

Zhang Fan’s eye twitched sharply, watching helplessly as his Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield was blown away by a single breath from Zhang Evil.

Such terrifying power could only belong to someone in the Sect Leader Realm.

As they say, ”Venerable”, a higher realm is boundlessly superior, especially when separated by a qualitative leap.

”How could I let you leave?”

A cold voice echoed in Zhang Fan’s ears. He turned his head sharply, and Zhang Evil was already in front of him. With his terrifying speed, ten zhang of ground was just a fingertip away. No living being on this old street could escape from his grasp.

At this moment, Zhang Evil’s expression remained calm, his eyes filled with powerful confidence and composure.

He had been guarding this small town for five years. All North Zhang disciples knew that this was a bitter task, merely a waste of five years in this remote corner of Jiangnan.

Now, with the time for the five-year rotation approaching, who would have thought such great merit would present itself?

Zhang Evil knew this was his opportunity. If he could capture the remnants of South Zhang and seize Zhang Lingzong’s son, returning to the Northern Zhang Ancestral Land would mean genuine great achievement, not just the toil of guarding for five years.

For this reason, he paid no heed to Ge Shuangxiu; anyone could leave, except Zhang Fan.

”Fire Dragon Pill Sword!”

Suddenly, Zhang Fan opened his mouth, spewing forth a fire dragon that transformed into a sword of flames. At such close range, the terrifying power burst towards Zhang Evil’s head.

”Trivial trick!”

Zhang Evil reached out with a massive hand, muscles vibrating, skin rippling, the sound piercingly booming. The terrifying force tore the Fire Dragon Pill Sword apart.

The terror of the Sect Leader Realm was unmistakably demonstrated at this moment. With Great Success in Destiny, boundless without restrictions, this body alone could sweep away all techniques.

Buzz...

At this moment, as the fire dragon turned off, a black wind arose suddenly, driving a fierce raging fire. The acutely burning flames transformed into a chaotic black blaze.

”This is...”

Black Wind Fire!

Zhang Evil’s face changed slightly, seeing the black flames that seemed inextinguishable, like maggots bones, winding towards his arm.

”Away with you!”

Zhang Fan seized the opportunity, raising a hand with a palm strike. Nine fire dragons surged out forcefully, crashing onto Zhang Evil’s chest, the terrifying power blooming like fireworks, blasting him away.

Boom, boom, boom...

Explosions echoed continuously as Zhang Evil smashed through one layer of ground after another, stirring up dust soaring into the sky.

Zhang Fan swiftly turned to flee.

”Zhang Tian Sheng’s Fire Technique...”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the billowing dust.

Zhang Fan’s eyes contracted sharply. He instinctively turned to look, only to see Zhang Evil walking out slowly. His abdomen, shoulder, and right arm were scorched by True Flame, flesh and blood blurred, emitting a charred smell.

However, there seemed to be a cluster of light hidden in his abdomen, dazzlingly prominent in this chaotic night. The brilliance spread like Qi into his limbs and bones, the fierce wounds then healed at a visible speed. The scorched dead skin slowly peeled off.

”Super-speed Metabolism!”

”This is... an Inner Core!?” Zhang Fan frowned.

With an Inner Core formed, the life system is never ordinary again. Thus begins the difference between Celestial Beings and others.

”Medicine meets Qi to form an image, Dao resides in the void, merging with nature. One spirit pill swallowed into the belly, to know my destiny is not governed by heaven.”

Zhang Evil whispered softly: ”Son of Zhang Lingzong, such a realm you are destined to never witness.”

”You cannot escape!”

Zhang Evil’s words were like a pronouncement of future fate, echoing on the cold and desolate street.

”If I can’t escape, then I won’t.”

Suddenly, Zhang Fan stepped forward, rushing towards the front.

Such an action stunned Zhang Evil. In a moment of distraction, Zhang Fan had already reached before him. Simultaneously, a grand and vast aura surged forth.

This aura was incredibly immense, seemingly merged with the boundless black night, formless yet crossed and tangled.

”Primordial Spirit!?”

Zhang Evil’s face suddenly changed, his eyes flickered, and he felt his primordial spirit at the spirit platform shake violently, almost uncontrollably.

A sect leader powerhouse, his primordial spirit was actually being suppressed at this moment.

Such an abnormal phenomenon could only mean one thing; that terrifying name immediately sprang to his mind.

”The world’s most ferocious, Divine Demon Holy Embryo!”

Rumble...

In that brief lapse, Zhang Fan had already closed in within ten steps. He suddenly opened his mouth, and the White Bone Relic shot out, directly targeting Zhang Evil.

Black Wind, Great Fire, Divine Demon Holy Embryo, White Bone Relic...

Zhang Fan unleashed his methods altogether, with such a sky-reaching technique, enough to bridge the gap in realm disparity. If it were any ordinary sect leader powerhouse, they would likely meet their doom here.

Unfortunately, he faced a descendant of the North Zhang lineage.

”Evil God Monarch!”

Almost simultaneously, incense qi erupted around Zhang Evil, and in the blazing void, a figure seemed to manifest, Evil transforming into ferocity, with three heads and six arms, engulfed in ghostly blue flames.

The shadow almost merged with Zhang Evil’s primordial spirit, intertwined, inseparable.

In an instant, the oppressive feeling from the clash of primordial spirits abruptly dissipated.

”Divine Sealing Technique!”

Rumble...

Zhang Evil’s eyes widened, his mouth opened, and a pill unexpectedly flew out from his body. It was round and gleaming, rising into the air, changing like flames, resembling a bright moon pearl.

”Daoist Inner Core!”

Rumble...

The Inner Core collided with the White Bone Relic, resulting in a standstill.

The supreme secret treasure of the Daoists, the Dragon and Tiger Essence in this North Zhang powerhouse’s hands, surpassed even innate treasures.

Bam bam bam...

Explosions erupted, the white treasure light shattered, and Dragon and Tiger Essence Qi spanned across the sky.

The White Bone Relic was sent flying, turbulently falling into the distance. Zhang Fan staggered, retreating several steps before collapsing to the ground, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood, the scattered glimmers falling around him.

Those were fragments of his primordial spirit; he fought desperately, using his primordial spirit to summon the White Bone Relic. For an ordinary sect leader, they would have perished by now.

But Zhang Evil, after all, was a master from Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Beizhang sect, in the Sect Leader Realm, with Inner Core Formation and Divine Sealing Technique, three-fold power, ultimately surpassing Zhang Fan, even causing cracks in his primordial spirit.

”No wonder it’s the Divine Demon Holy Embryo; even with primordial spirit fragments, you still have strength left.”

Zhang Evil saw and couldn’t help but marvel.

For ordinary people, any slight change in the primordial spirit could have catastrophic consequences. For others, fragments of the primordial spirit falling like snow would turn them into living dead or lead to their demise.

Yet Zhang Fan did not fall asleep; instead, his aura persisted.

”Primordial spirit like snow... truly a beautiful sight,” Zhang Evil remarked with a hint of mockery, looking down at Zhang Fan.

”Only cultivating the Divine Demon Holy Embryo can one see such a scene with their primordial spirit.”

As he spoke, Zhang Evil slowly approached Zhang Fan, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Fan seemed like nothing but a lamb ready for the slaughter.

Whoosh...

The glimmering lights scattered in the air, blood trickled from Zhang Fan’s mouth, and his cellphone, which had fallen far away, lit up. The caller display was Li Miaoyin, but unfortunately, he would never answer...

The black iron plate, long played with, also lay beside him. The scattered glimmers slowly descended, landing on the mottled ancient black iron plate.

Buzz...

Buzz buzz...

Suddenly, the black iron plate vibrated gently, and as more glimmers fell onto it, the frequency of its vibrations became increasingly terrifying.

In almost an instant, the black iron plate floated up under the eyes of both Zhang Fan and Zhang Evil.

”This is...”

Zhang Evil raised an eyebrow and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at the black iron plate, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease arose.

Rumble...

At that moment, the vibration of the black iron plate reached its peak, and it shot out fiercely like a thunderbolt, piercing through Zhang Evil’s body.

Under the vast long night, the trajectory traced by the black iron plate resembled a black dragon emerging from the abyss, like a great demon descending into the mortal world, with terrifying phenomena devouring Zhang Evil’s primordial spirit, ripping his body apart, and extinguishing his inner core.

Under the black luminescence, everything turned to void!

Life and death scattered like smoke, Daoist skill fell into silence.
