Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1823: 445: Continued Hunt, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s Methods (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Drawing from his past encounters, Lu Changsheng understood that he was currently lying in wait for Ming Sha True Monarch and Yun Mei True Monarch.
"Scoundrel!"
Lu Changsheng had gained a basic grasp of their power levels after a brief clash with the two True Monarchs.
The Cultivation of Yun Mei True Monarch was superior to that of Ming Sha True Monarch.
However, since Ming Sha True Monarch utilized the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool as a defensive shell, Lu Changsheng could not definitively determine which of the two held the advantage in a fight.
As for the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, he had attained the Nascent Soul stage before Ming Sha, though he trailed behind Yun Mei. Unless he commanded some supreme treasure, his actual battle prowess was unlikely to be extraordinary.
"Cultivators from Beast God Mountain typically merge demon beasts into their own bodies, similar to beast taming cultivators who practice permanent integration. They likely possess a spiritual beast as well, meaning their combat efficiency usually exceeds others of the same rank."
Lu Changsheng contemplated his options, calculating how he might execute the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Mindful of the proximity of Ming Sha and Yun Mei, Lu Changsheng decided it was wisest to test his enemy’s techniques and strength first before committing to a final strategy.
Acting recklessly and revealing his full power immediately could result in a wasteful drain of mana and physical backlash."Jinpeng!"
Lu Changsheng summoned the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng from within the Tianyuan Lotus.
Thanks to the consumption of top-tier spirit pills and heavenly treasures, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng’s state had improved significantly.
Nevertheless, such medicines and treasures required time for full digestion, so the Jinpeng’s condition was not yet at its peak.
"You have suffered these past few days. Soon, I will lead you back to claim your revenge,"
Lu Changsheng said, patting the Jinpeng before him.
As a proud and wild demon king, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng felt humiliated by the relentless pursuit it had endured.
A typical wild demon king, fierce and multi-headed, would likely choose a fight to the death over being forced into submission!
"Screech!"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng gave a slight nod, a murderous aura flickering within its golden vertical pupils.
While it acted submissively at Lu Changsheng’s side—working hard and even assisting with childcare—it remained a terrifyingly fierce beast at its core!
"Swish!"
In a sudden burst of speed, Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng lunged forward, charging directly at the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
As they moved, the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone embedded in his chest began to stir, releasing a warm, surging current.
The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone provided Lu Changsheng with a constant enhancement so long as it wasn't pushed to its limits, even offering Healing Divine Light to mend his wounds.
"Hmm!?"
Even though the secret realm suppressed a cultivator’s divine sense, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch possessed an acute spiritual perception in his current state. He immediately sensed Yangming True Master and the Peng bird closing in on him.
"That Peng bird was nowhere to be found just a moment ago, yet now it reappears. What sort of trick is this?"
The Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch felt a flicker of surprise.
Upon his arrival, he had noticed the aura of the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng vanish, leading him to believe the two had parted ways.
Seeing them charge together, he let out a cold snort: "Do they truly believe I am the weakest link?"
Following the failure of the previous hunt, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch had begun to take Lu Changsheng seriously.
Furthermore, he had intended to use a divine ability secret skill to maim the Yangming True Master’s golden Peng bird before finishing them off, but the right moment had never arrived.
Now that they were attacking him head-on, he saw his opportunity!
"Heavenly Silkworm Binding! Heavenly Silkworm Poison Mist!"
As the Golden Peng streaked toward him like a golden comet, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s bloated, fleshy body released a multitude of crystalline threads. These threads wove together frantically, creating a massive net that seemed to cover the sky and earth.
Simultaneously, a pungent and peculiar white gas erupted from his pores, generating an invisible field of influence.
Lu Changsheng’s eyes glowed with golden runes as he perceived the countless hidden threads. In his grip, the Great Luo Sword Embryo vibrated, radiating a sharp qi and a halo of sword light.
In that instant, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng heard a maddening buzzing. It became inexplicably agitated, its qi and blood churning with a sense of revulsion and nausea directed at the approaching Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
"Hmm!?"
Noticing the Jinpeng’s distress, Lu Changsheng’s face darkened as he realized something was wrong.
He hadn't fully measured the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s power, but it was clear the opponent possessed a specific counter to the Jinpeng!
"Clang!"
Without a second thought, he swung the Great Luo Sword Embryo.
A massive, magnificent arc of sword light tore through the air, shining as brightly as a midday sun. It carried an overwhelming sharpness, shredding the threads in its path.
However, these threads were incredibly resilient. Like an intangible qi mechanism, they drifted through the air, reforming and closing in on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch manifested a garment of white silk light around his body to deflect the Daluo Sword Light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The collision of mana and qi mechanisms triggered violent shockwaves, sending ripples through the void that caused distant cliffs to crumble and explode.
Because Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body included the Calamitous Poison Body, he was extremely sensitive to toxins. He realized these gaseous threads were a divine power fueled by mana—a blend of toxic demon qi specifically designed to suppress the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
He quickly activated the Yin Yang Chart and a Third Rank Defense Talisman to block the qi mechanism. Then, his Brahman Demon True Body manifested as he continued his relentless assault on the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Under the pressure of Lu Changsheng’s sword light, the chest of the Heavenly Silkworm Robe began to dim, yet the True Monarch remained undeterred. He summoned a netting magical treasure that merged with the invisible threads surrounding him.
However, this silk net was merely a top-tier magical treasure rather than a spiritual treasure. Against the piercing sword qi of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, it began to fray and break in several places.
"It is no wonder Ming Sha claimed this man holds a supreme treasure of slaughter!"
The Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s expression grew grim. He poured his full Nascent Soul mana into his lifebound spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Silkworm Robe. The white silk threads began to glow with a crystalline brilliance, emitting a misty light and a foul, biting stench.
