Born with immortal seed

Chapter 861 Dividing the Beast's Body
Qin Daoren placed high hopes on that body-forging avatar, even going so far as to divert the cultivation resources of his true self.

It has all the magical treasures and secret techniques suitable for body-tempering cultivators.

If we put ourselves in their shoes, even if the real person were to face such a figure, the outcome would be uncertain.

However, with the awakened bloodline supernatural power of Yuan Yuan, his fate was not much better than that of those junior Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even the two members of the Tang family were disheveled and no longer looked as confident as before.

The two of them joined forces to support a large net, with a two-tone jade bottle floating in mid-air, emitting shimmering light, dreamlike and enchanting.

"The Purgatory Red Dust Bottle! The Tang family was well-prepared and actually brought out such a family heirloom!"

Master Qin immediately understood that Tang had intentionally concealed her Yuan strength, and that after being able to see it, she not only did not approach it, but instead moved further away.

As for the other surviving supporting cultivator, he was surprised that a junior at the Nascent Soul stage could survive, but he assumed that the person was carrying a protective treasure.

Judging from the encounters with the incarnation, Yuan Yuan's bloodline supernatural power is the ability to devour everything.

However, it can only be used once against each target. As long as there is a high-level sacrificial treasure to block the attack, there is indeed a chance to survive.

"Fellow Daoists, stop holding back! If you don't go all out now, you will all perish here today!"

Tang Sen looked at Yuan Yuan, who had several more wounds but whose ferocity had not diminished, and realized that it was time to fight to the death.

This bloodline supernatural power has evolved to this extent, far exceeding his expectations, catching him completely off guard.

The previously prepared trump card, the Crimson Dust Purgatory Heavenly Net Sword, had to be used prematurely to block the seemingly unstoppable swallowing.

However, the ninety-nine strands of mortal energy and three hundred and sixty-five strands of purgatory sword energy in the Purgatory Mortal World Bottle no longer exist.

The Tang family's inherited divine power, however, was no longer strong enough to kill a sixth-order ancient beast instantly.

"Is this not something that happened at the Luo Tian Sword Pavilion before?"

Master Qin wondered why Elder Tang had mentioned Bai Yuchan again. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator had hidden his trump cards, it would be remarkable if he could protect himself in such a situation.

Holding a precious pearl in his hand, he hesitated to unleash it, revealing his inner concerns.

A thousand years ago, the Luo Tian Sword Hall was ranked among the top ten of all sword halls. The headmaster, deputy headmaster, chief instructor, and chief disciple were all at the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

However, due to a vague promise of a seventh-tier spiritual land, they accepted the task of pioneering the wilderness, and tens of thousands of disciples threw themselves into the desolate region to fight against ancient beasts.

Countless disciples were left to rot in the wilderness, their bodies never to be returned, and even high-ranking members of the Void Refinement Realm suffered repeated losses.

The Sword Hall, which contributed the most to the pioneering war a thousand years ago and did not ask for anything in return, carried out the orders of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance without any discount.

When the final battle for the wilderness ended and rewards were distributed, the Luo Tian Sword Hall, with only a thousand members left and a shortage of young talent, was relegated to the bottom of the priority list for not only seventh-tier spiritual lands but also the most basic merit exchange.

There's no other reason than that the Luo Tian Sword Hall has no more uses to offer.

The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, who made the promise, passed away during the pioneering war. His successor ignored him and supported a new sword hall to take over.

The matter of the Luo Tian Sword Pavilion passed by at the time, but its subsequent impact was enormous, creating an irreconcilable rift within the already loosely organized Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.

It laid bare the internal power struggles and backstabbing among the people to the world.

"I swear by the blessings of my ancestors and the long-lasting prosperity of my family, that after slaying the Yuan turtle, I will fulfill my promise and share the spoils of the hunt."

Tang Sen said impatiently.

The only way forward is for the four of them to work together to achieve divine intervention.

"Very well, Your Excellency, do not forget the oath you made today!"

With a roar, Master Qin crushed the precious pearl in his hand, leaving his palm a bloody mess, and even his finger bones were shattered into powder.

A sharp, piercing aura pierced the palm, leaving it riddled with holes. It drank blood and became even more dazzling and blinding. A giant hand slammed down from the sky.

The thousands of golden rays combined together pressed the Yuan Yuan down several feet, as if a golden mountain was pressing down on it.

Geng Metal Breaking and Capturing Technique!
This supernatural power requires the completion of the Void Refinement stage to be used. Since Daoist Qin's cultivation level was insufficient, he could only rely on the precious pearl passed down from his ancestors to barely perform it.

Once it is used, the effect is amazing.

The turtle shell protected the Yuan Yuan from much damage, but under the pressure of the giant Geng metal palm, its limbs sank into the ground.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the Yuan Yuan burned its source and suffered a great loss of essence and blood.

Tang Wu threw out two bronze mirrors, and six people walked out of the mirrors one after another. They all had his own face and wore different colored robes.

The seven people simultaneously activated the Radiant Light Spell, generating hundreds of rays in an instant.

It was like a grand demonstration of magical spells, encompassing everything from low-level hallucinations to high-level spells comparable to the sun descending upon the sky.

The layers overlapped repeatedly, like an ever-thickening chain, binding the ancient beast more and more tightly.

Tang Sen grabbed the now-dull sword pellet, determined to temper it with his heart's blood, even if it meant lowering its rank, to unleash its strongest attack once more.

A bright light rose in his eyes, changing from a tiny fluorescence to a crystalline coldness in an instant.

Another aura of Void Refinement appeared in the arena, so sharp that it made the skin of those around it sting. Even though the attack was aimed at something else, it felt as if swords were striking them.

Without even looking, I know he's a powerful swordsman!

laugh!
The giant head of the Yuan Yuan fell off, leaving a smooth cut around its head, and rolled twice on the ground.

Its essence was sealed within its body; though its head was severed, it did not die. Its demonic body, as large as a colossal city, surged hundreds of feet before crashing to the ground.

A miniature Yuan Turtle attached itself to the demon core and shot out like a meteor, its speed many times faster than when it arrived.

The Tang family came for the Yuan Yuan demon core, so how could they not be prepared to capture and imprison it?

The two simultaneously threw out the Red Dust Purgatory Bottle, and the surging suction force locked onto the demon core, miraculously causing it to retreat.

Everything in the universe has its counterpart. Ninety percent of an ancient beast's power lies in its physical body, but if its essence remains and its demon core is still intact, it can find a member of its own kind to possess and rebuild itself.

But before the purgatory bottle of the mortal world, it was utterly powerless to resist.

'Which sword technique from the Great Wisdom Sword Sect is so sharp? It's almost comparable to the true teachings of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion that I've seen...'

Tang Sen's pupils contracted; the strength of this anonymous Xi Yi was beyond his imagination.

Even with the Yuan turtle severely injured, its body still intact, how easy would it be to cleanly sever its head with a single sword strike?

Faced with such swordsmanship, even if one is in perfect condition, one can only say that it's a 50/50 situation, with absolutely no certainty of victory.

No wonder he was able to escape all the way to Jianguan from the pursuit of Taiyue Sword Sect. Thinking of this, he said, "Fellow Daoist, your swordsmanship is excellent. I will not break my promise. The benefits of the Yuan Yuan demon body will also be distributed after calculation."

He didn't reveal Xi Yi's identity, perhaps there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future.

As for the promised benefits, they certainly won't renege on them. With so many people dead, there are only two left to be fulfilled, so they're making a huge profit no matter what.

"It seems other ancient beasts have been alerted. Let's take the demon's body and leave immediately."

Master Qin's gaze shifted between the group, suspecting that the Tang family had known all along that Bai Yuchan was concealing his strength, and that they had a tacit understanding.

However, the slight vibrations he felt under his feet told him that this was not the time to investigate further.

Sixth-tier ancient beasts are not found everywhere; they are all regional overlords, and normally there won't be a second one within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Only in this way can it withstand the daily consumption of a sixth-order ancient beast.

If another sixth-tier ancient beast were to appear, given their current state, their chances of survival would be slim.

"Let's all work together and take as much as we can!"

Tang Sen swept his fingers together, and a piece of beast meat weighing a million pounds disappeared, but for the entire Yuan Turtle, it was only a piece of its forelimb.

The four of them used their unique abilities to frantically move the Yuan Yuan demon body into the cave.

The main problem is that this ancient beast's body is so powerful that it is extremely difficult to dismember even after it dies; it takes a lot of effort.

Bai Zichen flicked his sleeve and, like a whale sucking in its blood, collected Yuan Yuan's essence, almost forming a small river.

He didn't care about the rest of the flesh and blood; only the tortoise shell, riddled with holes and having endured countless attacks, caught his eye.

With a grab of his true essence, the tortoise shell merely wobbled and did not detach from his body.

He silently chanted, transforming into a gigantic being ten thousand feet tall. He tore open the demon's body with both hands, ripped off the tortoise shell, and threw it into the Shaohua Cave Heaven.

It is the Pure Bright Dharma Body, blessed with boundless divine power and inexhaustible true essence!
He controlled the force of his attack perfectly, using only the strength befitting the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, not a bit more.

As for the true meaning of time, it will not be revealed in the slightest.

The flying sword he used was the inconspicuous Taiqing Crystal Sword.

There was nothing supernatural about it, and it carried no sword intent whatsoever.

There is one, sharp enough.

Taking advantage of this, he spotted the weakest point of the heavily injured Yuan Yuan and beheaded it with a single sword stroke, following the grain of the dragon's skin.

Setting aside the true meaning of time, this can be considered his most representative sword strike, in which his understanding of swordsmanship is fully contained.

"go!"

Tang Sen glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Aside from the demon core and essence, the most valuable part of the Yuan Yuan is its shell, which can already be used as the main material for refining a sixth-order magic weapon.

A quarter of an hour later, a golden-maned lion appeared amidst the fireworks. It was only a few feet tall, but the pressure it brought was no less than that of the Yuan Yuan.

Its magnificent mane, like rolling waves of fire, exudes a scorching heat that seems to ignite the air.

Wherever it goes, even the air seems to distort.

Two amber-like eyes radiate an ancient and profound wisdom, as if they can see through the deepest secrets of the heart.

The golden-maned lion paced back and forth, leaving deep scorch marks on the ground.

……

"The biggest difference between ancient beasts and demonic beasts is that no matter how much they grow, they have no possibility of transforming into human form... It seems to be an innate constraint, a limitation imposed by the Heavenly Dao, even for those seventh-order ancient beasts."

Bai Zichen altered the natural landscape of Shaohua Cave, creating a large pit that was filled with the essence and blood of Yuan Yuan.

It is viscous and heavy, containing immense power.

Whether it's a panda or a rabbit, regular soaking is very beneficial for them.

Especially the Jade Rabbit, which hasn't even reached the fifth rank yet, can directly advance to the next rank after just one refinement.

As for that tortoise shell, after being tempered by the fire of the heart, it exhausted his mind and spirit; it was simply too large.

It will take at least several years to properly refine it when I have more time.

Once completed, it can be shrunk to about one-tenth the size.

"The Taiyi True Immortal's Handbook of Questions on Weapon Refining contains a sixth-tier defensive magic weapon that I can use. Once my weapon refining skills have improved to another level, I can consider using it..."

As Bai Zichen was taking stock of his gains, a thought struck him. He noticed someone had arrived outside the shop and then left Shaohua Cave.
