Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 305 The Shock of Dean Gong and Others
"The demon core is still there, but the consciousness within it has been burned away by the beast flames!"

"His entire body wasn't badly damaged!"

Zhou Ling scanned the golden-horned beast's massive body with his divine sense and thought to himself with satisfaction.

Then, the storage ring in his hand lit up, and the huge body of the golden horned beast was directly put into it.

Although the Golden Horned Beast's demon core consciousness was burned away, it was not completely dead at this moment. It still had a simple consciousness, but it was stunned by Chen Ling's [Demon Beast Pressure] and fell into a coma.

Of course, the power of the beast flames would have been enough to incinerate the golden horned beast's demon core, but Zhou Ling did not do so.

After all, this is a fourth-tier golden horned beast, which is quite rare.

He certainly didn't want to be burned to death by the spiritual flames.

If we cannot preserve even a wisp of its demonic consciousness, we must at least preserve its physical body, so that it can be refined into a puppet in the future.

But being able to preserve a wisp of demonic consciousness now, and then suppress it with the help of the [demonic beast pressure], is much better than turning it into a puppet.

After all, it takes a lot of effort to refine a puppet, and even if the puppet is made, it will consume spirit stones and there is no guarantee of success.

Becoming a spirit beast not only eliminates the need to consume spirit stones, but the Golden Horned Beast also has room for improvement in the future.

In any case, it's more cost-effective than turning it into a puppet.

Of course, this time they were able to capture the Golden Horned Beast so easily.

The main reason was that the Golden Horned Beast's weaknesses were accurately identified through the intermediate analysis.

Before it could even switch back after unleashing three golden sword attacks, the Beast Flame and [Beast Intimidation] took effect simultaneously.

Of course, this process also relies on the suppression of the Qianyang True Fire and the Five Elements Sword.

Otherwise, with the power of the beast flames, it wouldn't be able to easily penetrate the thick leather armor of the golden-horned beast.

"What's happening here?"

"The fourth-tier golden horned beast has already been defeated?"

"No wonder Zhou Zhizheng dared to say he could deal with the Golden Horned Beast alone; it turns out he had a fourth-tier spirit flame!"

"This is Zhou Zhizheng's trump card!"

The others who were gathering the Heavenly Gate Sword Light Array couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Shock!

Shocked!

I'm completely baffled!

There are all kinds of emotions.

No one expected that in just a dozen breaths, the Golden Horned Beast, which even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't defeat, was swiftly and decisively killed by Zhou Ling.

"Zhou Ling, how did you manage to use that spirit flame? The whole process was so perfectly coordinated!"

Dean Gong was also dumbfounded and quite puzzled upon seeing this.

Then, seeing that Zhou Ling still had the mind to collect the Golden Horned Beast's body at this critical moment of life and death, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

This kid really loves money more than anything!
"Some luck!"

Zhou Ling smiled at Dean Gong.

When dealing with demonic beasts, the Spirit Flame already has a natural advantage, and with Zhou Ling's thorough understanding of the Golden Horned Beast's situation, plus the [Demonic Beast Intimidation] effect, it's a perfect match.

This amazing effect is the result of a combination of many factors.

As for how to explain it to Dean Gong, he really couldn't.

Dean Gong didn't ask any further questions and continued to concentrate on controlling the sword formation to deal with the other three demonic beasts.

Although Zhou Ling dealt with the Golden Horned Beast at an astonishing speed, the other three demonic beasts were also quite powerful, so he couldn't be careless.

"I took down the Golden Horned Beast! Everyone, give it your all!"

After putting away the beast flames, Zhou Ling held the Five Elements Sword and shouted to everyone.

With the Golden Horned Beast killed, the pressure on the entire Heavenly Gate Sword Light Formation suddenly eased.

Dealing with the other three fourth-tier demonic beasts was significantly easier.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Seeing the Golden Horned Beast killed so quickly, the other three fourth-tier demonic beasts showed fear, but soon roared in anger.

He appeared even more irritable.

The silver-patterned dragon's body shone with a dazzling silver light, its silver eyes shooting out terrifying light as it unleashed a burst of brilliant silver light towards Zhou Ling.

This is its demonic domain power, Silver Domain Sinking Gold.

The other two demonic beasts, the Fire Spirit Tiger and the Dragon Horn Blood Lion, also unleashed their demonic domain divine powers to bombard the sword formation.

The Fire Spirit Tiger materialized into a giant fire tiger hundreds of feet long, fiercely bombarding the giant sword formed by the Sword Gate.

The dragon-horned blood lion opened its massive mouth and roared, the terrifying sound waves like thunder, shaking the heavens.

It is awe-inspiring.

The three demonic beasts cooperated perfectly; two of them blocked the Heavenly Gate Sword Formation, while the third was responsible for dealing with Zhou Ling.

Dean Gong and the others were somewhat surprised by the three-headed monster's tactic.

Although Zhou Ling appears to be the weakest in terms of combat power among everyone.

But we just killed the Golden Horned Beast.

With such strength, the Silver-Striped Flood Dragon still dared to take the initiative to attack.

However, Zhou Ling was not afraid and shouted along with the others, "Everyone, proceed according to the original plan!"

Originally, he was the one to deal with the Golden Horned Beast, while the others formed a formation to deal with the other three demonic beasts.

The sword formation was also designed to exploit the weaknesses of each of the three demonic beasts.

The Fire Spirit Tiger's Roar of the Sky Divine Power is formed by the fusion of four Heavenly Gates into the Heavenly Gate Sword, which directly confronts it.

The Thunder Roar Divine Power of the Dragon Horned Blood Lion is countered by the defensive sword net formed by the Heavenly Gate Sword Formation.

As for this silver-patterned dragon, its main supernatural power is the Silver Domain Sinking Gold.

It has a tremendous suppressive effect on blood and qi.

In addition, it also possesses certain spatial attributes, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with.

However, within the Heavenly Gate Sword Light Formation, Dean Gong can condense his sword eye and lock onto the Silver-Patterned Flood Dragon.

Therefore, at this moment, the three demonic beasts simultaneously unleashed their bloodline supernatural powers.

The people in the sword formation did not panic, but continued as they had practiced.

We began to address each issue one by one.

Clearly, at this moment, the advantage of the information provided by Zhou Lingyuan became undeniable.

It was entirely based on anticipating the enemy's moves.

Everyone's fighting spirit surged even higher, after all, Zhou Ling had indeed killed the Golden Horned Beast.

And almost everything went exactly as he predicted.

Under these circumstances, the sword light emanating from the four Heavenly Gates unleashed unprecedented power.

The four giant swords condensed in the air into a hundred-foot-long golden giant sword, radiating a terrifying pressure that seemed capable of annihilating heaven and earth.

It slammed heavily towards the fire tiger formed by the Fire Spirit Tiger.

With the endless burst of sword light, countless sword domains surged forth.

They launched a fierce attack on the Fire Tiger.

After blocking three swords, the Fire Tiger finally collapsed and fled.

In the blink of an eye, the roar of the dragon-horned blood lion condensed into tangible thunderclouds that fiercely bombarded the giant sword.

"Destroy it!"

Upon seeing this, Dean Gong snorted coldly and formed hand seals.

In an instant, sword light swept through the sword formation, sword energy blazed, condensing into a sword net that pounced towards the dragon-horned blood lion.

Rumble!
A series of loud explosions rang out.

The sword domain, bombarded by the thunderous sonic attack, vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, Dean Gong's face relaxed slightly. Now that the blood domain divine power of the two demonic beasts had been broken, things would be much easier.

The hand seals used to control the sword formation also changed accordingly.

As the sword formation changed, four giant swords condensed again from the four sword gates, slashing towards the two demonic beasts respectively.

Now that the Demon Realm has been breached, it is time for the sword formation to switch from defense to offense.

Moreover, after such a fierce battle, all the high-grade spirit stones on everyone and the array plates have been largely depleted. Therefore, we must strive to end this battle quickly.

We need to help Zhou Ling as soon as possible.

The original plan was to use the sword formation to block the three-headed demon beast, while Zhou Ling would fight the golden-horned beast alone.

But now it's Zhou Ling fighting two monsters alone, while the eight of them are dealing with the other two monsters.

This is different from the original plan.

Zhou Ling must have been greatly exhausted after just dealing with the Golden Horned Beast.

Therefore, Dean Gong was also anxious, hoping to kill the two demonic beasts as soon as possible to help Zhou Ling.

Boom!
Four giant swords slashed down, and the two demonic beasts unleashed powerful blood energy to meet the attack with all their might.

The entire void trembled violently, and the roars of the demonic beasts soared into the sky.

At the same time, the silver light emitted by the silver-patterned dragon spanned hundreds of feet and appeared not far in front of Zhou Ling, fiercely bombarding him.

Zhou Ling was naturally prepared; the Qianyang True Fire surged forth, enveloping the silver radiance.

But the next moment, something that surprised him greatly happened.

Before the spiritual flames could even envelop it, the silver light burst forth with a bang, turning the surrounding area into a silvery expanse.

The spiritual flames roared past, incinerating the silver light.

However, a considerable amount of silver light, like drifting willow catkins, bypassed the spiritual flames and enveloped Zhou Ling.

They launched a surprise attack on Zhou Ling.

The silvery glow surged in like a tidal wave.

"What a bizarre bloodline ability."

Zhou Ling felt as if he were in a silver ocean, with his whole body bearing immense pressure.

It's as if he's carrying an ancient sacred mountain on his shoulders.

It was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

If it weren't for his fourth-tier battle armor and his third-tier body tempering ability to withstand the pressure, he would probably have been crushed into mincemeat by the silver light.

This is the power of the Silver-Patterned Flood Dragon's bloodline supernatural ability, Silver Domain Sinking Gold.

At the same time, the silver light surged into Zhou Ling's body, rapidly devouring his blood essence.

Zhou Ling roared, and the other four spiritual flames within his body surged forth.

Azure Lotus Spirit Flame, Earth Spirit Fire, and Beast Flame shot directly toward Silver Radiance.

"Sizzle!"

Enveloped in the spiritual flames, the silver radiance was quickly incinerated.

"hiss."

Seeing that Zhou Ling was unharmed under its bloodline supernatural attack, the silver-patterned dragon in the distance let out a hiss and its long red tongue curled up.

His entire body vanished into thin air and instantly reappeared a hundred feet away from Zhou Ling.

With a sweep of its massive tail, a sharp silver aura, like a vast, overwhelming silver whip, hurtled towards Zhou Ling with lightning speed.

At this moment, Zhou Ling was already enveloped by four spiritual flames.

With a chant, the Five Elements Sword Formation was fully activated.

Five Five Elements Swords flew out from his hands, condensing into a Five Elements Sword Domain, and bombarded the silver-patterned dragon.

The five spiritual flames were then poured into the Five Elements Sword.

With the blessing of the Five Elements Spirit Flame, the Five Elements Sword Formation unleashed tremendous power, causing the giant silver whip to continuously crumble under its bombardment.

The silver-striped dragon let out a roar.

As the distance closed, although Zhou Ling was unable to condense a domain, his [Beast Pressure] was a powerful domain suppression for the beasts.

Therefore, even a fourth-tier demonic beast does not have much of an advantage over Zhou Ling without the suppression of its bloodline domain.

Under the bombardment of the Five Elements Sword Domain, the silver-patterned dragon had bloody wounds slashed across its silver body.

Upon seeing this, the silver-patterned dragon's body surged with silver light, about to transform into a faint silver shadow.

They seem to be trying to escape from this place.

With the help of [Intermediate Observation], even though the Silver-Striped Flood Dragon possessed a certain amount of spatial power, Zhou Ling was still able to detect the direction in which the Silver-Striped Flood Dragon moved.

The Five Elements Sword Net surged forth, slashing down with lightning speed.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, countless sword lights slashed down, and the silver-patterned dragon's body shone with silver light. Its originally ethereal body instantly became solid again.

"hiss!"

The silver-striped dragon let out a miserable scream.

Unexpectedly, its two major bloodline abilities were completely ineffective against Zhou Ling, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The divine power that was enough to easily kill a Golden Core cultivator was actually blocked.

The fourth-tier demon beast had already developed intelligence, and at this moment it realized that Zhou Ling was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Five spiritual flames are enough to deal with any fourth-order demon beast, and he also possesses strange supernatural abilities to deal with the demon realm.

At this point, the Silver-Striped Flood Dragon no longer cared about anything else; all it wanted was to escape this place.

"It's too late to escape."

Zhou Ling's cold gaze swept over the silver-patterned dragon, and five streams of spiritual flame were once again injected into the Five Elements Sword.

The Five Elements Sword Formation condensed once more, and the surrounding temperature suddenly surged dramatically, filling the entire void with five-colored sword light.

The sword domain and the fire domain intertwined.

This is Zhou Ling's strongest sword strike, unleashed with the help of the Five Elements Spirit Flame, unifying the five elements.

"go!"

Zhou Ling condensed the Five Elements Sword into a giant sword of the Five Elements.

As the five-colored sword energy surged forth, the five-colored giant sword slashed down from the sky.

Wherever it passed, the five elements of sword energy condensed, as if a sword domain of heaven and earth had been created.

This sent a chill down the spine of the silver-striped dragon, which was already considering retreating, and it involuntarily retreated rapidly.

However, the Five Elements Sword's momentum was unstoppable, and it had already enveloped the opponent within its sword domain.

"hiss!"

The silver-striped dragon roared angrily, its blood surging as it tried to break free from the sword energy's lock.

At this moment, it seemed to have sensed a great threat. Its body shook violently, and a large amount of silver light shot into the sky, attempting to use the power of space to escape the sword domain.

However, under the suppression of Zhou Ling's [Demon Beast Pressure], the Silver-Patterned Flood Dragon's blood energy could only unleash less than 70% of its power.

There was no way to break free from the sword domain's lock.

It also cannot activate the bloodline space's bloodline supernatural powers.

"Boom!"

The Five Elements Giant Sword slashed down, and the silver-patterned dragon's silver defenses were sliced ​​open like tofu.

"hiss!"

As the sword energy swept past, the silver-patterned dragon let out a miserable cry, its body flashing with silver light as it tried to block the Five Elements Sword.

But the Five Elements Sword's vast sword energy slashed down with unstoppable force.

The massive silver defense completely collapsed.

The giant sword slashed down with a whoosh, and the silver-striped dragon didn't even have time to scream before it was killed instantly.

Its body, which was tens of meters long, was cut into several pieces and suspended in the air.

With a thought, Zhou Ling sent five spiritual flames, which had already consumed most of their power, into his body as five-colored streams of light.

"Master, leave the body of this silver-striped dragon to me!"

At this moment, the golden fire crow hovering above Zhou Ling's head transmitted its thoughts.

Zhou Ling did not let Jin Huoya participate in the battle, but kept him by his side.

Just in case anything happens, he can lead Dean Gong and the others to escape from this place.

Jin Huoya had no objection to the silver-patterned dragon's body.

It would be very difficult to turn something cut into pieces into a puppet.

It would be better to let the Golden Fire Crow eat it, thus increasing its strength.

In addition, the demon souls of these fourth-tier demonic beasts also have many uses.

However, given the urgency of the situation, Zhou Ling didn't think much of it. After breaking the seal, he stored the silver-patterned dragon's body in his storage ring.
