LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 305 Thunder Beast
“Later I met fellow Taoist in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons and saw that Patriarch Yuntian didn’t care about fellow daoist’s life or death at all, so I got the idea and wanted to invite fellow daoist to join forces to deal with Old Ghost Ji and Patriarch Yuntian. Now it seems that this move was the right one." Jing Shuhan looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.
She originally only wanted to use Chen Yuan's power, but she didn't expect that he could erase the Soul Blood Restriction. The external incarnation technique left by Old Ghost Ji in her body would definitely be erased as well.
"I also ask fellow Taoist to lift the blood ban on the soul for me. I am willing to help fellow Taoist deal with Patriarch Yuntian!" Wang Lin said seriously.
"This matter is not urgent. If the soul blood ban is lifted now and Wang Daoyou leaves Jueling Island, what should I do?" Chen Yuan said.
"This... I didn't think it through well." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Lin's face.
He originally had a death wish, but after seeing hope, his desire to survive immediately overcame everything else, and he just wanted to erase the soul blood ban in his body.
Jing Shuhan interjected: "Fellow Daoist Chen is right, Senior Brother Wang, don't be impatient."
"It is not difficult to remove the restrictions left by Old Ghost Ji and Ancestor Yuntian in our bodies, but after the restrictions are lifted, they will definitely not give up. How will we escape from that secret realm?" Chen Yuan frowned.
Wang Lin had regained his composure at this time and said: "The original plan of Junior Sister Jing and I was to use the hands of Patriarch Yuntian to deal with Old Ghost Ji. But now we have to give up our plan to help Fellow Daoist Chen deal with Patriarch Yuntian."
"Will the other four Nascent Soul cultivators enter that secret realm and compete for the Fulong Chizhen Vine?" Chen Yuan asked.
His understanding of the Yu Qinghai Immortal Cultivation World was far inferior to that of the two Tianji Sect monks, Jing Shuhan and Wang Lin. He had only heard the names of the other four Nascent Soul monks, but did not know their details.
Jing Shuhan pondered for a moment and said: "Shen Yi has just given birth, has a long lifespan, and has the lowest cultivation level. He will definitely not take risks for Fulong Chizhen Vine."
"Wen Qingxiang is only over 700 years old and has more than 200 years left to live. He probably doesn't have much interest in Fulong Chizhen Vine."
"Principal Qingliu is an elder of the Haoran Sect and has a transcendent status. Since he promised Ancestor Yuntian that he would not participate in the fight for the immortal world in Yuqinghai and only came here for Qingfengzhu, he should not break his promise."
"Only Taoist Yunhe, who is over 800 years old, is most likely to intervene in the fight for the Fulong Chizhen Vine."
"He has wasted more than two hundred years in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. The bottleneck in the later stage is too difficult. If he is given another hundred years, it is unlikely that he will become a great monk. Extending his life for two hundred years is his only choice."
"It seems that only Taoist Yunhe may be interested in the Fulong Chizhen Vine..." Chen Yuan nodded, "If he really enters that secret realm, when I fall out with Old Ghost Ji and Ancestor Yuntian, , he will definitely not miss this opportunity.”
"At that time, please ask the two fellow Taoists to act according to the opportunity. We should be able to use the power of Taoist Yunhe to deal with these two people."
He did not mention that asking Taoist Yunhe for help and joining forces with the Yuanying monks would be seeking the skin of a tiger.
"What Fellow Taoist said is true." Jing Shuhan said sternly, "Senior Brother Wang and I want to get rid of Old Ghost Ji's control, and we cannot do without Fellow Daoist's methods. Everything will be at the command of Fellow Daoist."
"My fellow Taoist is not only mysterious in his methods, but his strength is also extraordinary. I am convinced, but I will rely on my fellow Taoist to send you." Wang Lin also bowed his hand.
"The two fellow Taoists have spoken seriously. Patriarch Yuntian's cultivation level is one level higher than that of Old Ghost Ji. Then we will need to borrow from you two." Chen Yuan said calmly.
If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with Patriarch Yuntian, he would not join forces with Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan.
According to what Jing Shuhan said, that secret realm was filled with evil spirits, and the strength of the Yuanying monks was greatly reduced.
But Yuanying monks are Yuanying monks after all, and Patriarch Yuntian is in the middle stage of Yuanying. Even if his strength is weakened, he is not easy to deal with and must not be taken lightly.
Only joining forces with Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan is the safest way.
"We will discuss this matter later. The top priority is to deal with these thunder beasts. How long has it been since Wang Daoyou came to this island?" Chen Yuan changed the topic.
"I just came here two days ago, and I haven't seen any trace of the thunder beast yet." Wang Lin said.
Chen Yuan said: "Then just keep waiting. Thunder beasts below level eight can stay in the thunder clouds for at most eight or nine days at a time, and they should be returning soon."
"According to Fairy Jing's estimation, this group of thunder beasts only has four or five at most. With the combined efforts of the three of us, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them."
The three of them immediately set up a concealment formation to cover up the traces left on the island when Chen Yuan and Wang Lin fought. After some discussion, they disappeared and waited quietly.
The three of them only waited for one day. The thundercloud above the island suddenly opened a gap. In the flash of lightning, four silver strange beasts flew down from the sky and landed on the island.
This beast is as big as an ox, with four stout hooves, and a head like a dragon, except that it has no horns. A few arcs of electricity appear from its body surface from time to time, and its aura is violent and fierce.
These four thunder beasts are of different sizes. One is five feet long and has the energy of a seventh-level monster. The other three are all thirty feet long and has the energy of a sixth-level monster.
Three smaller thunder beasts landed on the island, surrounded four thousand-year-old spiritual grass, lay prone on the ground, then closed their eyes and rested.
After the five-foot-long thunder beast fell, there was a look of suspicion in its eyes. A pair of eyes as big as copper bells glanced around. It threw its front hooves on the ground twice anxiously, turned around and called out twice, and said sternly. The roar of a bull is similar, awakening three thunder beasts.
It was keenly aware that there were several unusual smells on the island, but it could not find the source of the smell, making it particularly restless.
The other three thunder beasts stood up from the ground and looked at their leader blankly.
At this moment, the air on the southeast corner of the island twisted, revealing the figures of Chen Yuan and the other two, flying towards this side.
"Go!" Chen Yuan shouted, and directly used his nameless magical power to rush towards the three level six thunder beasts.
Wang Lin transformed into a demon god and went to meet the leader of the thunder beasts.
Jing Shuhan sacrificed a small yellow tripod, releasing hundreds of wisps of light smoke, condensing into three smoke ropes, wrapping around the three level six thunder beasts.
"Moo!" The leader of the thunder beast roared, opened his mouth and spit out a silver arc as thick as an arm, attacking Wang Lin.
Zizi!
Wang Lin raised his hand to block it, and the silver arc struck his arm. His body trembled heavily, and his expression was in pain.
The silver scales on the entire arm were all broken, revealing the robes inside, which were also shattered by the lightning, and the flesh and blood were also affected, becoming charred.
Wang Lin's face changed, and he frantically urged the true energy in his body. His body shrank to about ten feet, and the demonic energy condensed into black armor. When he rushed towards the thunder beast leader again, his speed slowed down a lot.
Just an arc of electricity almost injured him seriously, so he had to exert all his strength to deal with the thunder beast leader.
The thunder beast leader saw that he had not solved Wang Lin with one attack, so he raised his head and roared, and spit out several silver arcs of electricity, like thunder from the sky, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and struck Wang Lin.
It had just absorbed the power of thunder from the thundercloud, and its nest was ambushed by someone. It was furious and did not hesitate to absorb the power of thunder that it had worked hard to absorb.
Wang Lin stopped, his expression was extremely solemn, and he raised his hands and closed them. The demonic energy around him quickly closed in the middle and condensed into a giant tower shield to block in front of him.
Several silver arcs struck the tower shield, making a loud crackling sound, and the tower shield was easily smashed to pieces, only losing two arcs.
The remaining arcs struck Wang Lin, and the black armor was directly shattered. The silver scales with golden light inside could not resist and were pierced by the arcs.
Wang Lin spit out a mouthful of blood, his body trembled constantly, and he flew back dozens of feet away before he could barely stabilize his body.
Thunder magic restrains magic cultivation, and Wang Lin's cultivation is one level lower than that of the thunder beast leader, making it even more difficult to compete.
Just as Wang Lin was struggling to hold on, Chen Yuan also came to the three level six thunder beasts.
"Moo!"
The three thunder beasts all made a long, muffled cry, opened their mouths, spit out three arcs, merged together in the air, and struck Chen Yuan.
These three arcs are thinner than the arcs spit out by the thunder beast leader, but together, they are much thicker.
This is why the thunder beast is difficult to deal with. The thunder method is extremely powerful, far beyond ordinary magic. The thunder beast can also work together to fight the enemy, which is even more difficult.
Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it. The Qinglong Shield emerged and swelled up in the wind, blocking in front of him.
At the same time, he stimulated Zhu Yan's true blood, his black hair turned snow-white, a layer of white flames appeared on his hand, and he continued to rush forward.
Zizi!
The thick electric arc several feet long struck the Qinglong Shield, and the iron-green scales on the surface of the Qinglong Shield flashed and flew away.
The forward momentum of the electric arc was only slightly blocked, and it continued to meander forward, striking Chen Yuan's left arm that was blocking in front of him, pouring all the power of thunder and lightning into his body.
After Chen Yuan used the nameless magic, his silver-white skin suddenly exploded, blood and flesh blurred, and a piece of charred black.
But he was not a demon cultivator, and his body was stronger. His injuries were much lighter than Wang Lin's. It looked terrifying, but in fact it was just a flesh wound.
The three-headed thunder beast was about to open its mouth to spit out the second electric arc, and three smoke ropes flew over, wrapped around their bodies, pulled to the side, and stretched tightly into a straight line, and the three-headed thunder beast's body also tilted.
But then, silver arcs appeared on the surface of the three-headed thunder beast, and with a loud crackling sound, the three smoke ropes were smashed into pieces, and rushed to the yellow small tripod along the smoke ropes at an extremely fast speed.
Jing Shuhan hurriedly cut off the three smoke ropes, but it was still not as fast as the lightning. The arc struck the yellow small tripod, and the small tripod trembled for a while, and the spiritual light on the surface dimmed.
Jing Shuhan's face turned pale and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Her cultivation was too low, and she was seriously injured just by the slight impact of the magic weapon.
But this obstacle also allowed Chen Yuan to successfully rush to the front of the three-headed thunder beast. He stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed the front hoof of a level 6 thunder beast. The ice illusion light flashed, and the power of ice surged out, and a layer of white frost wrapped most of the body of the thunder beast.
The body of the thunder beast suddenly became stiff, but the next moment, countless arcs of electricity emerged, wiping out all the white frost.
The thunder beast had not yet digested the power of the heavenly thunder it had absorbed, and now it released all of it.
The thunder beast regained its ability to move, and opened its mouth to spit out arcs of electricity. The Zhuyan True Fire in Chen Yuan's hand suddenly rose, entered the body of the thunder beast, and wrapped around his spirit, burning like a wildfire.
"Moo!"
The thunder beast howled miserably, and the pain of its spirit being burned made it unbearable. The remaining heavenly thunder power in its body gathered together, trying to wipe out the Zhuyan True Fire, but it could only shave off a thin layer. The strange white flames burned its spirit fiercely.
Thunder magic can eliminate all evil, and it is one of the few magical powers that can wipe out the Zhuyan True Fire, but this thunder beast is not strong enough, and the heavenly thunder power it absorbed has just consumed more than half, and it cannot resist the burning of the Zhuyan True Fire.
Seeing this, the other two thunder beasts hurriedly gathered the power of heavenly thunder in their bodies, spit out two extremely thick arcs of electricity, and struck Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan raised his hand and swung it heavily, throwing the sixth-level thunder beast in his hand over. His body shook, and he rushed up behind the thunder beast.
The two arcs of electricity struck the sixth-level thunder beast, and all were absorbed into its body. It immediately mobilized the same source of heavenly thunder power and rushed towards the Zhuyan True Fire that wrapped the spirit.
Only a thin layer of Zhuyan's true fire remained, and the pain of the burning spirit was finally relieved a lot, reduced to a tolerable level.
But at this moment, Chen Yuan had caught up, grabbed the front hoof of the thunder beast, and swung it down hard. The thunder beast fell heavily to the ground, uttered a miserable howl, and could not move.
The remaining two thunder beasts were furious, spitting out arcs of electricity crazily, and struck Chen Yuan.
The thunder beasts were born with the ability to control lightning, but they did not cultivate their bodies, were not good at flying, and had only one method, and there was no other method.
The thunder method was powerful, and this method was enough to deal with most opponents, but they happened to meet Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan reacted very quickly, punched several times in succession, and took on several arcs of electricity. The ice illusion aura was slightly dim, but he still took it hard.
Several other arcs of electricity struck Chen Yuan, exploding several wounds, but on his body that almost exceeded the limit of the seventh-level monster beast, it was only a superficial injury, and it was not a big deal.
The two thunder beasts spit out several arcs of electricity in succession, and they had to stop because they were exhausted.
Chen Yuan took the opportunity to attack and punched a thunder beast. He did not hesitate to consume his true essence, and the Zhuyan True Fire gushed out, burning his spirit.
The thunder beast mooed in pain and fell to the ground, writhing and struggling.
The last thunder beast opened its mouth and spit out two arcs of electricity, which were both received by Chen Yuan, and then he activated the Zhuyan True Fire to burn its spirit and make it fall to the ground.
In a flash, he defeated three thunder beasts one after another, and it only took a dozen breaths of time.
At this time, Wang Lin was still struggling under the attack of the thunder beast leader. The silver arcs like a net of heaven and earth shattered the black magic armor on his body again and again, and the silver scales with golden light were also broken, and his body was covered with blood.
The demonic energy in his body continued to flow out, repairing the scales and armor on his body, and trying his best to resist the arc spit out by the thunder beast leader.
"Friend Wang, I'll help you!" Chen Yuan's figure shook, and he rushed to the thunder beast leader from the other side.
Seeing that Chen Yuan had dealt with all three thunder beasts, the thunder beast leader was furious, and let out a long moo, turned his head and opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and spit out a bright silver arc, which slashed towards Chen Yuan.
This arc was three feet long, winding and twisting, like a thick silver python, and it came to Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye.
Chen Yuan raised his right hand, Zhuyan's true fire was retracted, and the ice illusion kept flashing. He punched out and hit the silver python arc!
The arc suddenly exploded and rushed towards Chen Yuan, with a crackling sound, but at the same time, the power of ice surged out from the ice illusion, and thick white frost covered the surface of the arc, freezing it and turning it into a long ice snake.
But the ice snake had not existed for more than a breath before it was smashed to pieces by the electric arc containing the power of heavenly thunder, and was about to collapse.
Chen Yuan's expression became serious, and he changed his fist into a palm, grabbing the ice snake that froze the electric arc. The sea of true essence in his dantian evaporated wildly, and streams of pure true essence flowed into the meridians, and then poured into the ice illusion, turning into a continuous stream of ice power, holding up against the electric arc.
After three breaths, the electric arc silver python finally dissipated. Chen Yuan retracted his right hand, and the light of the ice illusion dimmed. From time to time, a few fine silver arcs emerged, colliding with each other and making crackling sounds.
Just taking this blow consumed 20% of his true essence, and the ice illusion was also seriously damaged.
But this arc was also the thunder beast leader's full strength, and there was no follow-up.
After Chen Yuan blocked this attack, he opened his mouth and spit out the arc again, which was much thinner than before. Chen Yuan was not afraid at all.
He withstood these arcs, only paying the price of flesh wounds, and finally came to the leader of the thunder beasts, grabbed its front hoof, and the red flames of true fire surged out, burning the soul.
But the spirit of the thunder beast leader was much stronger than that of the other three thunder beasts. Under the huge pain, he still opened his mouth and spit out a thin silver arc, which struck Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's body trembled, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He thrust his left hand forward and inserted it into the head of the thunder beast.
"Moo!"
The thunder beast roared wildly, and countless silver arcs emerged from its body, surrounding Chen Yuan's left arm. There was a loud crackling sound, and countless bloody wounds appeared on Chen Yuan's arm.
Chen Yuan's facial features twisted for a moment, but his left arm was as stable as a mountain, without even the slightest tremor. He fumbled a few times, grabbed a walnut-sized object, and then took it back.
The Thunder Beast leader's struggling body immediately froze, his eyes were lifeless, his four hooves twitched slightly, and his body fell down.
Bang!
Chen Yuan released his right hand, and the Thunder Beast leader's huge body fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise.
Chen Yuan's white hair turned black again, the Zhuyan True Fire was suppressed, and his body returned to normal.
He spread out his bloody left hand, with a silver round bead in his palm, and a silver arc of electricity emerged from time to time, making a slight crackling sound.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your timely help. If it was a step later, I would have died under the lightning of this level 7 Thunder Beast." Wang Lin came to Chen Yuan, bowed his hands, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Wang, you don't have to thank me. This was our previous plan. If it weren't for Brother Wang's sacrifice to hold this Thunder Beast, I wouldn't be able to deal with the other three Thunder Beasts calmly." Chen Yuan smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a man of unrivaled magical powers. He dealt with three level six thunder beasts in a flash. I admire him." Jing Shuhan also flew over.
Her face was still a little pale, and she looked at the other three thunder beasts on the ground with a complicated expression.
Under the burning of Zhuyan's true fire, the spirits of the three level six thunder beasts were reduced to ashes, and they were completely lifeless.
The three thunder beasts died with their eyes wide open, not showing any ferocity, but with deep pain.
As a price, in this short period of less than thirty breaths, most of Chen Yuan's true essence was consumed.
Zhuyan True Fire uses true essence as fuel, and he used to be more restrained, just burning the opponent's soul to make him lose his composure, and then using other means to kill the enemy, consuming less true essence.
But this time the thunder beast leader was fierce, and Chen Yuan was worried that Wang Lin could not hold on, so he did not hesitate to consume his true essence and use all means.
Moreover, the two of them already knew the existence of Zhuyan True Fire, so there was no need to hide it.
His means greatly shocked Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan. Both of them were knowledgeable people, and knew several kinds of magic fire spirit flames that could burn everything, but it was the first time they saw a flame that specifically burned the soul and spirit.
Moreover, it seemed that as long as Chen Yuan touched the opponent, the white flame would go straight in and burn the soul. He was also a physical cultivator, best at close combat, and could not resist at all.
Just as the two were frightened, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it. The Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air and flew out, picking out the silver round beads from the heads of the three thunder beasts one by one and bringing them back.
"I will take two of these four thunder beast essence cores, and the two Taoist friends will each take one. Do the two Taoist friends have any objections?" Chen Yuan said lightly.
"It should be so. I have contributed the least, and I am satisfied to get one thunder beast essence core." Jing Shuhan smiled.
Wang Lin also nodded. Chen Yuan threw out two sixth-level thunder beast essence cores and put the other two into the mustard ring.
He pointed to the four spiritual herbs again: "These four thousand-year-old spiritual herbs..."
"If it weren't for Taoist Chen's action this time, the two of us would not be able to deal with this group of thunder beasts. These four spiritual herbs naturally belong to Taoist friends." Wang Lin interrupted Chen Yuan.
"Yes, the treasure in my hand that restrains the thunder beast has been used to deal with Qi Lang. It didn't play any role in this battle. How dare I covet the thousand-year spiritual grass again?" Jing Shuhan echoed.
"Since both Taoist friends have this intention, then Chen will not refuse it." Chen Yuan smiled slightly and collected all four thousand-year spiritual herbs.
These four thousand-year spiritual herbs are rare thunder attribute spiritual herbs, which should have many magical uses.
"The four spiritual herbs have been collected by me. The skins of these four thunder beasts are given to the two Taoist friends." Chen Yuan pointed to the corpses of the thunder beasts on the ground and smiled.
Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan smiled when they heard it, agreed, lowered their bodies, carefully cut off the skins of the four thunder beasts, and collected them separately.
Wang Lin took away the skin of the thunder beast leader and a sixth-level thunder beast, and the other two sixth-level thunder beast skins belonged to Jing Shuhan.
The skins of the three sixth-level thunder beasts are medium-grade thunder attribute spiritual materials, comparable to top-grade spiritual materials.
The skin of the leader of the thunder beast is a top-grade thunder attribute spiritual material, comparable to ordinary top-grade spiritual materials.
The two were very satisfied with this harvest.
Although Chen Yuan was a little reluctant, he had to join forces with the two to deal with Yuntian Patriarch and Ji Laogui, and he couldn't take all the benefits for himself.
After dividing the spoils, Jing Shuhan looked at Chen Yuan's bloody left arm, and then looked at the wounded Wang Lin, and smiled: "The two Taoist friends are seriously injured and need to recuperate. I will pay attention to the wind wall. If anyone else comes here, I will wake up the two Taoist friends."
Neither of them refused. Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, took out a healing pill, swallowed it, and left a trace of consciousness to guard the surroundings, refine the medicine power, and recover from the injury.
Wang Lin did the same, and Jing Shuhan drove the escape light and flew to the edge of the island, deliberately keeping a distance from the two, sitting cross-legged, spreading his consciousness, and always guarding against someone rushing out of the wind wall. (End of this chapter)
