Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1953: 510: Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s Transformation, Opportunity Emerges! (part 2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
"Truly remarkable, this Fourth Rank Demon King."
This intense close-quarters fight proved quite taxing even for Lu Changsheng, as fissures formed in both the Great Bright King Light Aspect and Chaos Wanxiang.
Still, his vast reserves of Qi and Blood Magical Power allowed the Great Bright King Light Aspect to reform instantly after breaking apart, giving him an undying appearance!
"Roar!"
A deep rumble escaped the Soul-calling Beast perched on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, dark vapors twisting with spectral figures, its form expanding and shifting into the Punishment Beast mode, ready for combat!
Within seconds, the cute creature morphed into a menacing Demon Ape with a dark visage and sharp fangs, fully shrouded in sinister ghostly aura.
Nevertheless, the Flood Dragon King wasn’t a fiendish demon beast or a spectral Corpse King; its powers remained constrained.
Observing this, the Great Luo Sword Embryo in Lu Changsheng’s grip quivered violently, and he swung it with savage force, intending to destroy its skull and spirit completely from within.
"Pugh!!!"
Blood gushed forth like a torrent, as the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King unleashed a piercing cry of agony, its frame shaking while internal tempests of thunder boomed, attempting to crush Lu Changsheng and the Soul-calling Beast to powder, yet the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and Brahman Demon True Body lunged forward, ripping apart its armored hide and innards.
The Flood Dragon King bellowed in rage, overwhelmed by frustration.
In a solo clash, it could hold its own against either Lu Changsheng or the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
But confronting Lu Changsheng, the Soul-calling Beast, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng—all elite fighters—it stood no chance, escape impossible.
As the forces clashed relentlessly, Hong Lian and the Three Treasures Incarnation rushed in.
"Is this the small creature that was in my husband’s grasp before?"
Hong Lian spotted the Punishment Soul-calling Beast clamped in the Flood Dragon King’s jaws, her face showing intrigue and astonishment.
She quickly sensed the Flood Dragon King’s desperate resolve to fight on, so she deployed the Ancient Beast Taming Charm at maximum strength, unleashing a dazzling five-hued glow to subdue the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King.
At the same time, the Three Treasures Incarnation executed the Yin Yang Qi Grasp, fusing with the Yin Yang Chart of the Heavenly Dome to amplify the restraining force.
Faced with this barrage, the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King lost all power to fight back, enduring relentless attacks that stirred massive crashing waves.
In mere instants, amid howling gales and lightning, its dragon form—gleaming with violet-blue crystal scales—suffered grievous damage beyond tolerance.
Despite the Fourth Rank Demon King’s sturdy physique and stubborn vitality, the onslaught from the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Brahman Demon True Body, and Lu Changsheng pushed it to the brink.
Right then, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror blared a warning, signaling another Fourth Rank Demon King drawing near.
"Planning to watch from afar!"
The Great Bright King Light Aspect lit up Lu Changsheng’s mind, lending a grave and majestic air to his strikingly handsome features.
With a powerful stroke of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, he and the Soul-calling Beast burst free from the Flood Dragon King’s maw, their gazes firing twin golden rays at the lurking Fourth Rank Demon King afar, declaring icily: "This prey belongs to me—approach if you have the guts!"
"Roar!!!"
The Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, Soul-calling Beast, and Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng joined in thunderous roars, unleashing a torrent of demonic might.
This Fourth Rank Demon King eyed the trio of humans and beasts, plus the Whale King ensnared by Hong Lian’s Demon Binding Lock, then glanced at the nearly dead Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King, and finally opted to withdraw.
Though the target looked enticing, Lu Changsheng’s formidable crew made any theft attempt too risky.
"Husband, end this fight swiftly—that Demon King could summon allies!"
As a Nascent Soul True Lord, Hong Lian witnessed this and promptly warned.
Demon Kings at the Fourth Rank Transformed level often gather followers and know fellow rulers.
"Got it!"
Hearing her, Lu Changsheng wasted no time, hurling the Great Luo Sword Embryo to the Brahman Demon True Body before darting to the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror’s side.
"A Wu, Taiyin Mysterious Light!"
The mirror’s surface gleamed, releasing an ethereal, pristine white moonlight.
Next, a bone-chilling, arcane Taiyin Mysterious Light descended on the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King’s battered form, encasing its shattered body in icy frost and steadily eroding it with the Power of Taiyin.
Beneath this relentless assault, within half a breath, the Fourth Rank Flood Dragon King’s thrashing body went rigid, its vitality fading fast.
"Pugh!!!"
The Brahman Demon True Body, gripping the Great Luo Sword Embryo, abruptly severed its enormous, grotesque dragon head, snuffing out its life for good.
"Whew, taking down a Fourth Rank Demon King like this is no simple task."
Lu Changsheng let out a weary sigh upon seeing the end.
Though the fight appeared straightforward, unleashing the Taiyin Mysterious Light had drained him considerably.
"A Demon King’s body is tough, and its life force clings fiercely, particularly in these waters where slaying it becomes exceptionally arduous,"
Hong Lian remarked softly from nearby, her tone warm and tender with fondness.
Her statement rang true, not just praise.
At any cultivation level, slaying equivalent demons poses huge challenges for cultivators.
This holds especially for Demon Kings past Third Rank.
Even with Lu Changsheng’s numerous allies, only the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale had freshly reached Fourth Rank, while the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and Soul-calling Beast ranked as Third Rank powers.
In this setup, eliminating a Fourth Rank Transformed Flood Dragon King unscathed would stun the cultivation world if word got out.
"Heh."
Lu Changsheng gave a light laugh, noting their entry into the Starry Sky Sea region, and observed: "I never realized the Starry Sky Sea held so many Fourth Rank Demon Kings before."
When he’d dispatched his son Lu Quanzhen through here earlier, no Fourth Rank Transformed Demon Kings had shown up.
But during the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s tribulation crossing, two appeared outright—it was downright bizarre.
"Big Black... its blood spilled into the Starry Sky Sea amid the tribulation, which naturally draws these Demon Kings."
