Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 332

No. It did not necessarily mean a trump card. It could also be that the might was insufficient, or that the power simply was not enough, which was actually more reasonable.

However, Wang Yu clearly could not be judged by common sense.

While Zhuo Shouyun was thinking, he suddenly noticed a problem. The higher the realm of a divine ability, the greater its power. This was beyond doubt, but it was also closely related to how much spiritual power the cultivator possessed.

Especially that killing fist at the perfect mastery realm.

No matter how one looked at it, it was unreasonable. For an early Core Formation cultivator, the maximum spiritual power was only about three thousand threads. Using it once should have completely exhausted him.

Yet Wang Yu in the memory scene showed no such sign, which meant that...

“He has very likely broken through to mid Core Formation, and not just the fourth layer of cultivation. He is probably even higher.”

Thinking this, Zhuo Shouyun suddenly felt much greater pressure. This kind of cultivation speed was something that even a top-tier Heavenly Spiritual Root could not match.

Moreover, Wang Yu could not possibly possess a Spiritual Body constitution.

Looking over all his intelligence, he originated from Wasted Spiritual Roots, relying on the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse to rise again. Even after devouring Luo Chen, it should not have elevated him to the level of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.There had to be other fortuitous encounters on him.

Zhuo Shouyun immediately reached this conclusion, and he was absolutely certain that it was a supreme treasure.

Gently rubbing the Heavenly Demon Bell that never left his hand, he suddenly said, “Feng clan sisters, do you wish to take revenge on Wang Yu?”

The younger sister, Feng Niaoniao, nodded without hesitation.

“This man destroyed the Feng clan’s painstakingly managed demonic breeding grounds. Naturally, we must retaliate. Otherwise, would we not become a laughingstock to the world?”

The elder sister at the side hesitated to speak. The reason they had managed to escape twice from Wang Yu was because he did not possess a treasure that could seal space, nor did he have such secret techniques.

But things did not happen thrice. If they took the initiative to seek trouble again, whether it would be fortune or disaster was hard to say.

“Good resolve. Since you have this intention, then join my team. With the strength of Xingyun and Nanxing, they will certainly help you avenge this hatred.”

Zhuo Shouyun did not give the elder sister any chance to refuse and directly finalized the matter. On the surface, it looked like he was standing up for them, but in truth, he himself also wanted Wang Yu dead.

If this man died, Zhuo Shouqing would have no hope of turning the situation around.

“Continue the search.

“Use the demonic cavern as the center. Ghost Blade Mountain, Drunken Immortal Lake, the Burial Grounds, and the several main roads leading to the Blood Demon Sea. None of them may be overlooked.

“If we truly cannot find him, then wait out the one-year period. Use Ding Ming as bait. After this matter ends, disperse and seek your own opportunities.”

“We obey Young Master’s command.”

While considering the plan, the needs of these subordinates could not be ignored either. After all, they were all demonic cultivators, and Zhuo Shouyun understood their mindset very well.

As time passed, eight months went by in the blink of an eye.

…

…

Drunken Immortal Lake, Flood Dragon Cave.

A terrifying demonic dragon five to six hundred meters long could not fully move within the Flood Dragon Cave. It was precisely the form of an Yin Nether Demonic Dragon manifested from Qi and Blood.

After eight months of tempering by dragon bale energy, that dragon corpse had completely vanished, and Wang Yu’s cultivation had reached the critical point for breakthrough.

Accompanied by a roar.

The ground suddenly cracked. Amid earth-shaking tremors, the entire Flood Dragon Cave collapsed. Wang Yu swiftly packed away all his possessions and violently smashed his way out.

As his aura surged, a single swing of his arm caused the blood wine at the bottom of the lake to form a tornado. His divine strength was unrivaled, his ferocity inhuman.

Third Rank Body Refinement, late stage, seventh layer, achieved.

But it was not over yet. Within the blood-colored vortex, Wang Yu took out the flood dragon inner core and swallowed it in one gulp. The Ice Chi Pill Flame surged out from within his body, refining himself.

The incomparably pure dragon-attribute energy within the flood dragon inner core rapidly poured into the Dragon Spine. Wang Yu’s aura continued to climb, and the strength of his physical body grew as if without end.

The commotion at Drunken Immortal Lake became increasingly immense, even forming a vortex several thousand meters wide on the lake surface.

He refined himself for a full three days, and his physique surged upward once more.

Reaching progress comparable to the eighth layer of Core Formation, and extremely close to the peak of Third Rank Body Refinement, Wang Yu glanced at the Sea Heart Ring and the few drops of pure flood dragon essence blood he had squeezed out from the Dragon Heart Stone.

In terms of grade, it was only third-rank high grade.

But that was because it had been drained by successive waves of growing Dragon Shadow Grass. In its prime state, it very likely came from a fourth-rank flood dragon. This item could be considered a heavy treasure.

If he found a suitable method, he might even be able to restore it to its original state and refine it into a fourth-rank dragon blood elixer. Even for breaking through to fourth-rank body refinement in the future, it would provide immense benefit.

This thought lingered in Wang Yu’s mind for only an instant.

When he thought of what he needed to do in the Blood Abyss Sacred Land, his most urgent need at present was strength.

“What future, what maximizing benefits. Only by staying alive is there a future. Continue breaking through for me.”

He directly consumed the flood dragon essence blood. Most of the dragon blood essence was crushed in one bite and swallowed whole.

In an instant, the sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds.

Wang Yu’s aura grew once again, as if breaking through its limits, surging upward at a ferocious pace.

His body automatically circulated the perfect-level Yin Nether Demonic Dragon Art. The battle divine ability, Demonic Dragon Fist, was infected by his will and broke through to the great major accomplishment realm in one smooth motion.

Wang Yu was overjoyed and punched toward the heavens.

The Yin Nether Demonic Dragon formed from qi and blood soared upward, its dragon body reaching a terrifying length of nine hundred meters. With this single punch, even if several mountains were stacked together, they would all be shattered.

His body refinement cultivation advanced to the peak of Third Rank, standing on par with his divine sense realm.

As a result, his foundational cultivation once again lagged behind.

“Refreshing.”

Successive breakthroughs caused the divine marrow within the dragon spine to be somewhat unstable, but it was not a major issue. He had no intention of breaking through to fourth rank in one go.

That was a great bottleneck, and there was no chance of clearing it in a short time.

Searching for fourth-rank breakthrough spiritual materials for Body Refinement would be a good opportunity to further temper his foundation and stabilize it completely. It was a case of sharpening the blade without delaying the chopping of wood.

Such a massive disturbance made Wang Yu merely frown slightly. Just as he was about to change locations, his gaze suddenly shifted.

As the surface of the Blood Wine Lake gradually calmed, many objects buried in the accumulated silt floated up. Among them, a red stone made him smile.

“Double fortune. I never expected to obtain the Blood Brewing Wine Stone buried at the bottom of Drunken Immortal Lake in this way.”

This item was like wine lees. It was a key material for brewing third rank Blood Spirit Wine and could be reused. At the very least, it could brew more than ten jars.

He put the treasure away.

Wang Yu suddenly turned his head and looked toward an empty spot, frowning as he said, “What rat dares to spy on Wang.”

Clap, clap, clap.

Applause sounded from all directions. Spiritual power condensed into a human face phantom over a hundred meters tall, staring straight at him.

“Elder Wang actually possesses such profound strength in the Body Refinement path. Fortunately, I valued you enough. Otherwise, if you had succeeded, it would have been troublesome.”

“Zhuo Shouyun.”

Wang Yu sighed inwardly, finding the situation thorny. It was likely that the disturbance during his breakthrough had been too great and attracted this person’s attention. But why was he near Drunken Immortal Lake.

Was this not supposed to be a desolate place where even birds would not linger.

“Sneaking around like this. Why not reveal your true body and speak with Wang. Are you afraid.”

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Shouyun nodded seriously and did not feel ashamed.

“I am indeed afraid. I am only at mid Core Formation. How could I feel at ease exposing myself before a genius like Elder Wang. Not stable. Not stable.”

Wang Yu’s eyelid twitched.

There was a saying. One need not fear a clever enemy, only fear foolish allies.

The current situation was that Zhuo Shouyun was not only clever but also extremely cautious. His insight into human nature was exceptional. He was truly the most difficult opponent Wang Yu had encountered since beginning his cultivation.

Feeling that things were not going well, Wang Yu activated the Aurora Escape Technique and retreated.

Since the other party refused to show himself openly, the situation might be even worse than he imagined. Of the thirty six stratagems, retreat was the best option.

“Where do you think you are going.”

At that moment, Wang Yu transformed into light and moved for only an instant.

Five pillars of light rose from different directions. A formation was completed in an instant. It was actually a sealing formation formed by five late Core Formation cultivators using the power of their natal treasures.

He secretly tried to activate an Escape Void Talisman, but it had already failed.

This was bad.

Several sharp whistling sounds cut through the air. Four figures entered the formation and confronted Wang Yu.

They were precisely the two great experts under Zhuo Shouyun, Long Xingyun known as Dragon Fire, and Jian Nanxing known as Golden Sword. Both were peak Core Formation cultivators at the absolute limit.

Their strength was formidable, and they also possessed Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude. The power of their divine abilities and techniques was extremely fierce.

The other two were old acquaintances.

The Twin Beauties of the Secluded Valley.

Since escape was impossible, he could only fight it out. This would also fulfill the new contract with Zhuo Shouqing. Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and coldly looked toward the Feng sisters.

“You also want to wade into this muddy water.”

Feng Niaoniao refused to back down and pointed at Wang Yu’s nose as she cursed.

“You thief. You attacked my Feng clan and still expect a good ending. Today we will take your head and raise our prestige.”

“Very good. Do not cry when you die.”

“Arrogant fool.”

“Utterly reckless.”

Long Xingyun and Jian Nanxing shouted in unison. The former flew into the air. Violent crimson flames swept outward, turning the sky into a sea of fire.

Like a demonic god ruling over flames, a crown appeared above his head. It was his life-bound treasure, the Dragon Fire Crown.

The latter formed a sword sign with two fingers. A jagged, strangely shaped golden sword split into eighteen behind Jian Nanxing, forming a wheel of swords. One of them moved along with his sword fingers.

This was his life-bound treasure, the Rending Gold Shadow Split Sword.

Both were high grade tier treasures and life-bound treasures at that. The power they could unleash had almost reached the upper limit of Core Formation cultivators.

There was no hesitation at all. They attacked with full force from the start.

“Dragon Fire Scorches the World.”

“Nine Times Nine Rending Void Slash.”

A flaming true dragon roared and charged toward Wang Yu.

On the other side were dense golden sword traces, like a net cast from heaven and earth, sealing off all of Wang Yu’s retreat paths. If he could not break through the outer formation.

He could only take it head on.

The Feng sisters did not stand by and watch either. They coordinated with Long Xingyun, spitting pearls and waving fans, combining wind and fire.

For a time, the might of the dragon fire was even more imposing than Jian Nanxing’s divine ability.

Wang Yu cursed inwardly. A direct clash of life-bound divine abilities then.

In such a situation, he could not afford to hide his strength any longer.

Staying alive came first.

The Demonic Dragon Armor, now with an additional layer of dragon bone armor, covered his entire body. After his breakthrough, it had naturally advanced into a high grade bloodline true artifact. With this treasure protecting him.

Wang Yu threw a punch across the heavens.

An Yin Nether Demonic Dragon nearly a thousand meters long collided head on with the dragon fire. Behind him, as if he had eyes on his back, the Aurora Escape Technique carried him through the golden net of sword lines.

Like a butterfly passing through a sea of flowers, not a single leaf touched his body.

Just a pure remarkable agility.
