Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 477 - 475 Heavenly Ghost Furious Kill

Several days later, Ning Daoran and Shen Luoyan had settled their strategy.

...

In the White Dragon River, the glistening emerald waves sooth the eye, yet on the opposite bank where the White Leaf Forest sways with the winds, endless hazards silently lurk.

"Swoosh—"

A golden streak of tunneling light crossed over the great river and hovered above the White Leaf Forest, solidifying into the figure of Ning Daoran. With one hand behind his back, his eyes intently gazed into the distance, speaking faintly, "Bone-Eroding Old Demon, you push me too far. Do you really think I, Master Qiu Shui, am such an easy target to squash?"

As he spoke, his hand swept out, immediately causing flames to sweep across the sky. The fierce flames were unparalleled in intensity, ignited by the Nine Yang Extreme Flames, burning rapidly northward through the woods.

Suddenly, Demon Cultivators hidden in the woods scrambled to escape; some, touched by the Nine Yang Extreme Flames, could not extinguish the fire and were contorted in agony until death.

A strong burnt stench permeated the air, the event unfolding extremely abruptly.

"Humph!"

From a distance, a figure stepped into the void, it was the Bone-Eroding Old Demon, donned in a dark blue robe, with eyes glinting sinisterly and a body emanating an extremely chilling aura. He scoffed, "Finally decided to come down the mountain to meet your death, has Ning Mountain Master?"

"Who will die is not yet certain!"

Ning Daoran slapped his storage bag, immediately causing Array Flags and Array Plates to fly out. The Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Formation was swiftly set up, and as Ning Daoran threw out the spell, the array activated. Strands of fierce flames burst forth from the ruins of the White Leaf Forest, branding the earth with Dharma Images of fish and dragons, the entire formation bristling with murderous intent!

"The Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Formation? Tsk tsk..."

Bone-Eroding Old Demon narrowed his eyes, chuckling, "An insignificant third-tier low-grade killing array. I shall kill you in this array, so no one can claim that I took advantage of my higher cultivation."

"Senior truly displays an admirable demeanor."

Ning Daoran gave a faint smile, casting several spells in succession, fully activating the Fiery Fire Fish Dragon Formation. He then charged towards the Bone-Eroding Old Demon amidst the whirlwind of flames.

He did not use the Falling Star Array for fear that the enemy might avoid fighting. Once the Falling Star Array was set, Bone-Eroding Old Demon would certainly realize it and instantly teleport away using Nascent Soul, giving no chance for Ning Daoran to set up the Ten Directions Forbidden Array.

"Die!"

With a fierce shout, the Bone-Eroding Old Demon had strands of Ice Soul power swirling around him rapidly. His eyes turned purple, and with his right hand’s index and middle fingers, he gathered frost, shouting, "Taste my Ice Soul Finger Strength!"

"Hiss—"

A streak of purple Ice Soul light burst from his fingertips, charging directly ahead!

Ning Daoran, daring not to be careless, hastily summoned forth the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet. Simultaneously, dense Nine Yang Extreme Flames were channeled into the Big Green Dragon, turning the spear red-hot as he ferociously struck!

A loud explosion erupted above the forest, the sky full of Nine Yang Intense Flames clashing with the Ice Soul Spiritual Power. In terms of magical power, Ning Daoran was still overwhelmed. The vast gulf between Golden Core and Nascent Soul was not easily bridged by mere "talent"—even with the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, he barely deflected the Old Demon’s finger strike!

"So that is all the Mountain Master is capable of?"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon, with a fierce yell, suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a deep purple Ice Pot, uniquely shaped like the gaping maw of a savage beast. As spiritual energy within the pot roiled and exploded, streams of Ice Soul Essence Qi burst forth, instantly spreading in all directions!

Ning Daoran was shocked in his heart. He had seen this Ice Soul Essence Qi before during his travel at the Fierce Sun Dao Palace, where even a Nascent Soul Early Stage great cultivator like Feng Yinghai had perished from it!

This Bone-Eroding Old Demon was indeed no simple foe—using a low-grade Spiritual Treasure, the Ice Pot, he had cultivated the Ice Soul Essence Qi, comparable in name to Geng Metal Essence Qi and Gui Water Essence Qi. No wonder he could roam undefeated in the Sangyu Country’s Cultivation World!

"Come forth!"

Ning Daoran shouted lowly, and a Spiritual Treasure burst forth from within him—the Cold Dragon Stone Plate. The Dragon Spirit on the Stone Plate twisted and writhed, instantly transforming into a majestic Dragon Energy that shielded Ning Daoran’s body, preventing the immediate consumption by the Ice Soul Essence Qi.

However, the consumption rate of his mana was extremely high and could not be sustained for long!

"Such a treasure?!"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon’s eyes brightened with greed, his gaze filled with covetousness. He laughed, "After I kill the Mountain Master, this treasure shall be mine!"

As he spoke, the imposing figure of Bone-Eroding Old Demon spread his arms, rapidly rotating Ice Soul around him—having pushed his Ice Demon Bone Erosion Skill to its peak. His fingers traced through the air as if slicing the heaven and earth apart. In a blink, the Ice Soul Essence Qi filling the air was swiftly turned into sharp triangular Ice Cones, their tips directing speedily towards Ning Daoran.

"Go!"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon commanded, terrifying Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure overwhelming the heavens, accompanied by countless Ice Cones thrusting towards the opponent.

Ning Daoran clenched his teeth and directly activated the Nine Heavens Escape Thunder Technique, his body transforming into a flash of lightning. Several Golden Silk Swords burst out of his body, spinning rapidly around him, "crackling" as they shattered the incoming Ice Cones. However, despite this, the opponent’s onslaught was too dense, and Ning Daoran, with all his might, still had some Ice Cones break through his defense.

"Buzz~~"

A surge of Blood Qi rose up, and Ning Daoran no longer held back, instantly entering the Dragon Demon Body state. His physical strength and reaction speed heightened tremendously, his fists continuously swung, shattering the Ice Cones that had breached his defense.

However, as he fought, Ning Daoran soon realized the anomaly—the pervasive Ice Soul Essence Qi began to coil around his fists. Even though boiling Blood Qi continuously flowed under the influence of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, layers of purple frost quickly formed on his fists.

If this continued, he was bound to freeze solid.

Ning Daoran’s brow furrowed tightly. He dodged continuously while deploying the Evil Dragon Fang and Spirit Cage Silk, two treasures attacking from all directions, seeking an opportunity to slay his opponent.

Unfortunately, without using a Fourth-tier Array, truly defeating a Nascent Soul Stage opponent was impossible!

But Bone-Eroding Old Demon was slippery like an eel; whenever Ning Daoran tried to deploy the Fourth-tier Array with Array Flag and Array Plate, Bone-Eroding Old Demon would instantly activate Instant Teleportation Divine Ability!

There was no choice but to be at a standoff.

The Bone-Eroding Old Demon was neither rushed nor impatient, continuously urging Ice Soul Essence Qi from all sides to pressure Ning Daoran, waiting for him to reveal a flaw.

Ning Daoran also maintained his composure; he was waiting for Shen Luoyan to make a move.

However, the Demon Cultivators spectating in the woods were getting restless. A pair of Golden Core cultivators, an old and a young, appeared in the air above the distant woods, their eyes filled with sinister intensity.

"Hmph, although this Master Qiu Shui possesses extraordinary strength, dreaming of competing with the ancestor is simply folly!"

"The ancestor reigns supreme in Ice Attribute Technique, having even cultivated the Ice Soul Essence Qi. What’s this mere Golden Core of Master Qiu Shui compared to him? Daring to contend with the ancestor is simply seeking death!"

At that moment, another person appeared in the woods.

Old Demon Lin!

This ancestor from the Blood Soul Sect was also here!

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I didn’t expect you would have such a day too."

Old Demon Lin’s eyes gleamed coldly: "When you exterminated my Blood Soul Sect, did you ever imagine this day would come? Elder Bone-Eroding, please must eradicate this fiend to avenge the thousands from my sect. I, Lin, will surely offer what I promised you!"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon laughed heartily: "Ning Mountain Master, did you hear that? This old man doesn’t wish to be an enemy of a supreme young talent like you, but other’s offers are just too tempting, making this old man’s heart waver!"

"Elder!"

Old Demon Lin, somewhat anxious, said: "Do we need the younger generation to join forces and deal with him more swiftly? Master Qiu Shui still has two Late-stage Golden Core Spirit Beasts unshown, and possesses many techniques. Despite your boundless mana, elder, you must not underestimate him..."

"Certainly!"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon nodded: "Let’s attack together and quickly resolve this fiend!"

"Charge!"

Old Demon Lin bellowed and launched an attack with his Magical Treasure.

From another direction, the Sect Master and Great Elder of Ten Thousand Ghost Sect also joined the assault. The Sect Master laughed, holding a Blood Banner: "Fellow Daoist Ning, become a member of my Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. With such divine abilities, being the Ghost King of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner would not shame your renowned name, hahaha~~~"

"Come out!"

Ning Daoran let out a low shout, as Qingfu Mother-Child Sword, Green Bamboo Scroll, and Luminous Jade Gourd - three Ancient Treasures - surged out of his body to face Old Demon Lin and others. Simultaneously, the Evergreen Technique flowed vigorously, transforming into green tendrils, which shot out from the ground like tentacles, attacking the three Golden Core cultivators to slow their assault.

However, the more treasures he used, the faster Ning Daoran’s mana was drained, and soon he was left with less than forty percent of his mana!

"Mountain Master, why struggle so desperately?"

The expression of Bone-Eroding Old Demon turned ferocious as he laughed maniacally: "Mountain Master, you slaughtered tens of thousands of cultivators at White Dragon River. As the heavenly cycle of karma dictates, can only the Mountain Master kill others without being killed himself? Dying at the hands of this old man should also be considered a pleasure in your life, don’t you think?"

"A pleasure?"

Ning Daoran continuously unleashed the Five Thunder Divine Spell to bombard Bone-Eroding Old Demon and coldly scoffed: "Such a pleasure should be left for elder to enjoy. I, Ning, still want to live longer!"

"Obstinately ignorant!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Bone-Eroding Old Demon’s eyes became even more fierce. As injuries on Ning Daoran’s body multiplied, Bone-Eroding Old Demon suddenly changed tactics. Swirling Ice Soul Essence Qi into countless ice flakes, he attacked, and simultaneously, he raised his hands, the long-stewed ghost energy in his body surged out, swiftly condensing above his head into a thousand-zhang-tall ghostly Dharma Image.

The face of the evil ghost was ferocious, with a menacing single horn on the forehead, bulging eyes, a long tongue protruding from its mouth, its body covered in blood plasma and standing atop a palace made of bones.

Finally, Bone-Eroding Old Demon resorted to his ultimate move!

"Dying under my Heavenly Ghost Furious Kill, even as a scoundrel, your life won’t have been wasted!"

Bone-Eroding Old Demon thrust up the Heavenly Ghost Furious Kill, blood light surged drastically around him, the whole person looked as if he was dredged up from a sea of blood, and only then was his identity as a Demon Cultivator fully realized, having the capability to execute such a kill move unquestionably distinguished him as a member of the Demon Path!

...

"Thump, thump, thump~~~"

In an instant, Ning Daoran’s heartbeat accelerated, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

He was aware of how terrifying this move was; if he were to be hit, death was almost certain!

"Tower Master Shen!"

Sweat appeared on Ning Daoran’s forehead: "If you do not make a move now, I am done for!"

"Here I come!"

A light-hearted phrase drifted from the dense smoke to the right.
