I cultivate the Chaos Technique

Inside the private cabin of the Cloud Sky Treasure Ship, Zhang Yifan sat cross-legged, his expression serene.

Along the way, he took advantage of the stable environment of the treasure ship to completely restore the spiritual power in his body to its peak state. He even faintly felt that his golden core power was becoming more stable, as if he was about to break through some kind of bottleneck.

For seven days, the treasure ship sailed steadily through layers of clouds without incident.

However, Zhang Yifan did not let his guard down. After all, from the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had become accustomed to dealing with all kinds of dangers at any time.

Just as he felt his energy reach its peak, the ship suddenly shuddered violently, followed by a deep rumble. The entire treasure ship shook violently in the air, as if it had been struck by some enormous force.

Zhang Yifan opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. This was followed by gasps and hurried footsteps from the other passengers on the ship, mixed with uneasy whispers. Zhang Yifan stood up, pushed open the door to his compartment, and saw many cultivators rushing towards the deck in a panic, their faces pale, clearly shaken by the commotion.

"Oh no! A powerful demon is attacking the treasure ship!"

"I heard it's a powerful demon king, how can we possibly stop it?"

"We're fucked!"

The sounds of commotion rose and fell, and many people were pale-faced, clearly realizing that this was not a disturbance caused by an ordinary monster.

Zhang Yifan felt a chill run down his spine. The power of a great demon was something even a Golden Core cultivator could hardly match. If it really was a demon king, then the danger of this trip would be greatly increased.

Just then, a powerful sound came from the deck and echoed throughout the entire ship:

"Everyone, don't panic! I am Qiu Zhenhai, the captain of this treasure ship and the branch president of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce. There are also three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge of escorting us, which is enough to withstand this monster attack! Please return to your cabins and wait for news. Do not panic!"

Qiu Zhenhai's voice traveled through the array to everyone's ears. Hearing that a Nascent Soul cultivator was present, the people on the ship calmed down a bit. Many people silently retreated back into their cabins, while only a few cultivators, still filled with curiosity, rushed towards the deck.

Zhang Yifan did not return to his private room, but instead followed the crowd towards the deck. He knew in his heart that if it was truly a powerful demon king, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would likely find it difficult to easily defeat it. After all, a demon king's cultivation level was at least at the Transformation stage.

Due to the immense power of a demon beast's physical body, a demon king in the early stages of transformation is equivalent to a human cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although there were three Nascent Soul cultivators on the treasure ship, Zhang Yifan's intuition told him that this trip would not be so simple.

Stepping onto the deck, Zhang Yifan saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if shrouded in a layer of dim blood color, and the air was filled with a strong demonic aura that made people feel suffocated.

Not far away, an enormous demonic bird appeared in the air, its wings spread out like a curtain covering the sky, its sharp claws gleaming with a chilling light, and its blood-red eyes radiating a cruel and violent light.

"It's a Bloodwing Vulture!" someone exclaimed, their voice filled with barely concealed terror.

Zhang Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing the demonic bird. The Bloodwing Demon Vulture was an extremely ferocious demon king-level creature that lived by plundering spiritual energy and flesh. Judging from the aura it emitted, its cultivation level was at least at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.

What's even more terrifying is that these vultures possess extremely high intelligence, are adept at using group combat, and are very difficult to deal with.

As everyone watched, the protective array around the treasure ship quietly activated, and azure spiritual light emerged from around the ship, forming a transparent protective shield that firmly enveloped the entire treasure ship.

At the same time, three powerful auras rose from the treasure ship, clearly belonging to three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce. Their spiritual power converged into three beams of light, forming a dazzling barrier that kept the Bloodwing Vulture outside the protective array.

"This is the Three Elements Spirit Shield Formation, which can withstand the impact of Nascent Soul demonic beasts!" A cultivator next to him explained in a low voice, with a hint of awe in his eyes.

Watching this scene, Zhang Yifan thought to himself, "It seems that the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce does have some tricks up its sleeve. However, I wonder if this Three Elements Spirit Shield Formation can truly stop the Bloodwing Vulture's attack."

The Bloodwing Vulture seemed to be enraged by the Three Elements Spirit Shield Formation. It flapped its wings and let out a deafening cry. The strong sound waves made the cultivators on the deck cover their ears and barely resist the heart-wrenching howl.

Then, the demonic vulture swung its claws out suddenly, and two beams of blood-red light burst from the tips of its claws, slamming fiercely into the protective formation.

Boom!

Ripples spread across the Three Elements Spirit Shield Array, the array bearing tremendous impact, its spiritual light flashing incessantly, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Standing on the deck, Zhang Yifan's eyes sharpened as he silently calculated the array's resilience.

He could clearly sense that the Bloodwing Vulture's attack power far exceeded that of ordinary demonic beasts. Although these three Nascent Soul cultivators were strong, if they could not defeat the vulture in a short time, the protective formation would eventually be overwhelmed.

"I never expected this trip would encounter such trouble..."

Zhang Yifan's gaze was cold and stern as he gripped the long sword at his waist.

Just then, Qiu Zhenhai's figure slowly rose into the air from the ship. His dark blue robe fluttered in the wind, and he exuded a refined Nascent Soul aura, like an unshakable mountain.

He pointed into the air, and a burst of spiritual light shone from his palm. The azure light transformed into a giant hand, which slapped towards the Bloodwing Vulture.

"You arrogant beast, how dare you attack the treasure ship of my Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce! You're courting death!"

Qiu Zhenhai roared, unleashing a surge of spiritual power that suffocated everyone present with its immense pressure.

The Bloodwing Vulture let out a sharp screech, its wings flapping violently. A whirlwind of spiritual light and demonic energy swirled, tearing the azure hand to shreds. At the same time, the vulture's cold gaze fixed on Qiu Zhenhai. With a flap of its wings, it charged towards him, its powerful demonic energy surging through the air.

Qiu Zhenhai snorted coldly, gathering spiritual power in his palm and forming a huge aura around his body, engaging in a fierce battle with the Bloodwing Vulture. His attacks were fierce and sharp, but the Bloodwing Vulture's defense was extremely strong. The two collided in the air, unleashing a deafening roar.

Standing on the deck, Zhang Yifan observed the fierce battle, a hint of calm in his eyes. He realized that although the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce had a Nascent Soul cultivator escorting them, this journey would likely not be so easy.

Just as Qiu Zhenhai was locked in combat with the demonic vulture, suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes reappeared in the distant clouds. Zhang Yifan's pupils contracted slightly—another demon king!

"Damn it, these Bloodwinged Vultures are appearing in pairs!"

Zhang Yifan was startled, quickly realizing the gravity of the situation. If the two demon kings joined forces, the Three Elements Spirit Shield Formation probably wouldn't last long.

He grabbed the shoulder of a monk beside him and whispered:

"Notify everyone to prepare. This time it might really be dangerous."

The cultivator nodded blankly, then hurriedly ran into the ship. Zhang Yifan stood still, calmly watching the demonic vulture in the distance. He slightly tightened his grip, his spiritual energy flowing within him, ready to strike at any moment.

At the same time, Qiu Zhenhai noticed the appearance of another demonic vulture. His face darkened immediately, and he shouted angrily, "Everyone, be on guard! The protective formation is about to withstand an even greater impact!"

Boom!

The second demonic vulture swooped down, and the two demonic king-level vultures attacked simultaneously, causing the protective formation to tremble violently, its spiritual light surging like a tide. The crowd turned pale, filled with a sense of powerlessness. Whether they could defend this treasure ship this time was now a matter of suspense.
