Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Destroying the Physical Body Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Destroying the Physical Body Ning Daoran hardly hesitated, instantly transforming into a tunneling light that plunged into the sea water, and then continuously flew underwater using the Water Escape Skill.

Before getting close to the battlefield, he already felt as if the sea water in front of him was boiling. True Monarch Du’e originally planned to draw the No-Action True Monarch, who excelled in Fire Attribute Techniques, into the seawater to fight and suppress his advantage, but unexpectedly, the No-Action True Monarch was so strong that he was continuously evaporating the sea region around Liuhua Island!

“Senior Du’e.”

Ning Daoran, along with a group of insignificant fish, hid in the water and transmitted his voice to True Monarch Du’e: “I am nearby. Please strive to grapple with No-Action True Monarch. I will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, otherwise, as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, I will not be able to influence the outcome of the battle.”

“That would be great!”

Deep in the sea, a deep blue mana burst forth. True Monarch Du’e held his Magic Sword, stirring up raging tides of both Wood and Water Attributes. Suddenly, the boiling seawater started cooling down, and strands of wood swords shot through the water, heading straight for No-Action True Monarch.

“Du’e!”

No-Action True Monarch’s body was bathed in fire, each hand wielding a fire-red battle spear. As he swung the spears, strands of fire-red whirlwinds rose and burst in the seawater, extremely astonishing.

For a moment, the powers of the two Nascent Soul Early Stage Great Cultivators continuously twisted and collided. The sea water kept boiling, and Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure overwhelmed the skies. Both were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, neither yielding to the other, falling into a balanced situation, but nearby cultivators were caught in the middle—many got injured, and some died on the spot under the spiritual pressure.

Ning Daoran was hidden in the water a few miles away, motionless, concealed under the protection of the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, the Great Void Expansion Technique, and the Great Sound Absorption Skill. Let alone No-Action True Monarch, even True Monarch Du’e had no idea where Ning Daoran was hiding.

The tides rose and fell continuously. Far away, flames soared into the sky from Liuhua Island.

The war between the cultivators of Xia Country and Sangyu Country had reached a fever pitch. Liuhua Island seemed to have turned into a purgatory for humans, where not only Foundation Establishment cultivators but also Golden Core Great Cultivators fell in large numbers.

After this battle, both sides were sure to be gravely injured and would have to lie low for a long time.

…

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The two Nascent Souls battled like overturning seas and rivers for a long time in the water, to the extent that the entire sea region was scattered with the aura of Nascent Soul Power, and the coral forests in the eastern sea region of Liuhua Island were almost completely flattened by the two Nascent Soul Great Cultivators!

At this moment, the aura of both sides had dropped to less than half, but they were still far from what a Golden Core stage cultivator could contend with.

“Time to end this, Old Ghost Du’e~~~”
In the water, No-Action True Monarch’s fire-red robe flapped in the wind. Suddenly, he formed a seal with both hands on his chest, and instantly, a fierce flame burst forth, so intense that even Ning Daoran lurking in the sea water miles away felt a burning pressure on his chest and abdomen.

The next moment, strands of ancient power rose from the seabed. Looking down, the underground beneath the entire area was almost entirely red-hot.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, gigantic fire-red statues rose from the seabed, actually a series of Buddha statues that had been heated to a glowing red, towering a thousand feet tall like mountains from the seabed, bringing a suffocating oppression.

“No-Action Old Demon!”

True Monarch Du’e’s gaze was icy cold: “You’ve actually perfected the Thousand Buddha Forest technique, very good!”

As he spoke, True Monarch Du’e slowly raised one hand, and his entire aura underwent a radical change. His previous laughter and rage vanished, replaced by an imposing dignity. Pointing towards the direction, strands of giant gold-red swords appeared in the clouds, their tips pointing straight at the Thousand Buddha Forms emerging from the seawater.

“Break!”

With a loud shout from True Monarch Du’e, thousands of giant swords fell like rain into the sea.

“Peng Peng Peng~~~”
The booming sounds were endless. Ning Daoran activated a Divine Speed Talisman in the water, flying and darting like a fish. Still, he was tossed around by the surging waves.

When he focused his gaze, he saw that the Thousand Buddha Forest summoned by No-Action True Monarch had been slashed by more than half under the profound sword intent summoned by True Monarch Du’e. However, there were still over two hundred fire-red Buddha statues raising their palms towards No-Action True Monarch, with buddha light spewing from their palms as if completing some ritual. When No-Action True Monarch struck out with another palm, True Monarch Du’e could no longer resist it.

“Puh!”

In the air, a shower of blood rained down.

True Monarch Du’e, struck by the palm, vomited blood and retreated in the sea water, leaving a trail of scarlet.

“Ning, won’t you make your move!?” True Monarch Du’e urgently transmitted his voice.

“Here I come!”

By this time, Ning Daoran had snuck within about a hundred feet of No-Action True Monarch in the water, enduring the scalding seawater. “Shua” – With one motion, he summoned the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow from inside his body and rapidly loaded it with a tremendous amount of mana.

“Hm?”

In the water, No-Action True Monarch, a formidable Nascent Soul Cultivator, had already felt the chilling power fluctuation the moment the Divine Crossbow was loaded, and hurriedly turned to look toward Ning Daoran’s direction.

But unexpectedly, the light in Ning Daoran’s eyes flickered, and suddenly a mysterious Divine Soul force shot through the water, striking straight into the center of No-Action True Monarch’s forehead.

Soul Suppressing Technique!

In the blink of an eye, No-Action True Monarch stood astonished in the water, his mind blank.

At the same moment, an arrow shot forth from the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow!

“Whoosh—”

“Despicable wretch!”

No-Action True Monarch roared furiously, pointing his finger, and immediately a strand of fire-red gas wave broke through the water and shot forth!

Ning Daoran dared not to receive the attack directly; he hurriedly ignited a Third-tier High-Grade Divine Speed Talisman, shifting his body sideways and swiftly using the Water Escape Skill to flee!

But who would have thought that No-Action True Monarch’s finger power, which locked onto his mana aura, would actually turn and pursue him; wherever it passed, all seawater rapidly vaporized and vanished, truly terrifying!

He could only gamble now!

Ning Daoran lightly lifted his hand, and a green scroll flew out; it was the Green Bamboo Scroll, which instantly unfolded in the air, forming a wall with numerous golden characters emerging and intertwining!

“Peng~~~”
The moment No-Action True Monarch’s finger power collided with the Green Bamboo Scroll, sea water within dozens of meters burst open, forcing even Ning Daoran’s body to retreat repeatedly.

“Ning, you alright?” Senior Du’e’s voice transmission came from beside his ear.

“Senior, entangle No-Action True Monarch for a moment longer, allow me to deliver another arrow!”

“That’s very good, watch my move!”

Far away, True Monarch Du’e took action once more, and immediately the seawater surged. Echoes of a dragon’s roar came from within, and it seemed as if a Jiao Dragon on the verge of transforming was twisting in the water, strangling towards No-Action True Monarch!

With a clear vision, Ning Daoran noted that it was actually a Jiao Long Rope, a Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure. The Jiao Dragon he saw was nothing but the manifestation of the Treasure’s spirituality.

True Monarch Du’e’s strength was not much inferior to No-Action True Monarch’s, and now that No-Action True Monarch was severely injured by an arrow from Ning Daoran, it was no longer easy for him to get rid of True Monarch Du’e’s entanglement.

“Thinking of trapping me, is it that easy?!”

No-Action True Monarch’s body ascended, and in his hands, he raised a green and red mixed umbrella, which was his Spiritual Treasure, the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella. As the treasure umbrella opened, the constantly binding Jiao Long Rope emitted a “sizzling” sound, and it couldn’t tie up the opponent in a short time.

“No-Action Old Demon!”

True Monarch Du’e struck down from the air with a palm, the power of the palm was vigorous, pushing across a dozen meters radius of the sea, aiming straight for the top of No-Action True Monarch’s skull.

“Du’e Evil Ghost!”

No-Action True Monarch became just as murderous, eyes filled with killing intent; he threw a fire-red battle spear and followed with a finger emitting fire-red magic power.

The collision of the two powers caused the seawater to surge endlessly.

“Spurt!”

True Monarch Du’e spat out a mouthful of essence blood, pointed his fingers, and instantly the blood sprayed onto the Jiao Long Rope, which rapidly tightened its grip, continuously pressing close to the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella!

“Old rascal, are you seeking death?!”

No-Action True Monarch sprinkled his Lifebound Essence Blood on the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, and suddenly a canopy rib separated from the umbrella, silently “putch” puncturing through True Monarch Du’e’s inner armor, piercing straight through the heart!

“Ha ha ha ha, thrilling!”

After being injured, True Monarch Du’e laughed instead of getting angry, his arms shaking vigorously, the powerful Wood Attribute Nascent Soul power turning into two huge arms, striking from both sides and forcibly grasping No-Action True Monarch’s body in his hands. Next, True Monarch Du’e opened his mouth and spewed out a deep blue essence qi.

“Not good!”

No-Action True Monarch was alarmed and hurriedly blocked with his left arm, but saw his entire right arm instantly corroded to nothing but a ghastly white bone!

“Gui Water Essence Qi!”

No-Action True Monarch was both shocked and enraged!

However, at that moment, No-Action True Monarch’s consciousness trembled, and his mind went blank again.

“It’s over… it’s that troublesome Golden Core cultivator again…”

Hundreds of meters away, the moment Ning Daoran’s Soul Suppressing Technique succeeded, the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow fired the second arrow!

“Peng!”

This arrow aimed directly for the opponent’s head, seeking to take out the Nascent Soul!

Amidst the roar, No-Action True Monarch’s head was pierced through, leaving a large hole, but it did not manage to successfully kill the Nascent Soul; the duration of the Soul Suppressing Technique’s impact on the Divine Soul was too short, and No-Action True Monarch had already initiated the release of his Nascent Soul a moment earlier!

“Whoosh!”

Ning Daoran dragged the Qiushui Sword and, in his left hand, he threw out a Third-tier High Grade Breaking Prohibition Talisman, instantly conjuring the Soul Refining Tower.

Unfortunately, he was a step too slow; in the blink of an eye, No-Action True Monarch’s Nascent Soul completed instant teleportation and had already vanished!

“…”

A faint look of disappointment crossed Ning Daoran’s face.

Allowing No-Action True Monarch’s Nascent Soul to escape was after all a lingering threat.

True Monarch Du’e was not at all concerned, spitting out another mouthful of Gui Water Essence Qi to completely annihilate No-Action True Monarch’s physical body, saying, “It doesn’t matter, even if his Nascent Soul possesses someone else, it will take at least fifty or even a hundred years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. By that time, with your skills, Ning Daoran, would you still be afraid of him?”

“Cough cough…”
Ning Daoran thought to himself with his exceptional talent, his rate of progression was not ideal, indeed he was a bit fearful.

“Ning lad.”

True Monarch Du’e grabbed the Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella left by No-Action True Monarch and said, “I will not take advantage of you, thanks to your support I was able to kill No-Action True Monarch’s body; I will take this Seven Treasures Heavenly Umbrella, and as for the items in No-Action True Monarch’s Storage Ring and his other treasures, I will leave them all for you, how does that sound?”
