"Run!"
The five Nascent Soul Cultivators, observing the unfolding chaos, recognized the precariousness of their situation. As the man and the beast were locked in a fierce battle, an opportune moment for their escape presented itself. The thought of aiding Lu Changsheng never crossed their minds. They were completely unaware of his true identity, uncertain whether he was an ally or an adversary, and what repercussions might follow any involvement. Thus, in such dire circumstances, strategic retreat was undeniably their most prudent course of action.
"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to rush your departure."
However, just as they prepared to shatter the Split Wind Island Formations and make their escape, a solitary figure emerged, cloaked in a flowing green robe and cradling a distinctive purple and green gourd. This figure moved directly towards them.
"Gulp..."
A wave of indescribable horror washed over the five Nascent Soul Cultivators upon beholding the Three Treasures Incarnation. Their throats constricted, rendering them utterly speechless.
Even though Lu Changsheng had just concluded his intense confrontation, his entire being radiated an Unsealing Divine Light, and Nine-Colored Tribulation Light swirled around him, obscuring his features and making his appearance difficult to discern.Yet, as seasoned Nascent Soul Cultivators, they could discern a striking resemblance in appearance and build between the figure in green and the individual currently engaged with the Split Wind Beast. This realization struck them with profound dread.
A terror beyond words began to swell within their hearts.
"Since you all share a mutual enmity with this formidable beast, why not seize this chance to lend your strength and contribute to the effort?"
The Three Treasures Incarnation addressed the five with a placid demeanor, his gaze steady as he spoke with evident calmness.
In truth, Lu Changsheng did not genuinely require their assistance. His primary objective was to secure this location and subsequently aid Yun Wanshang in achieving her Nascent Soul breakthrough. If these five were permitted to escape and disseminate news of these events, it could precipitate unforeseen and potentially troublesome complications. Therefore, his intention was to detain them temporarily, compelling them to offer their aid, and subsequently utilize them to bolster the island's defensive formations. Should they prove to be cooperative and free of malicious intent, he would allow their departure. Conversely, if any malevolence was detected, Lu Changsheng was not one to exhibit leniency.
"Yes, yes, yes, the esteemed senior speaks wisely..."
The five exchanged uneasy glances, their faces etched with bitter resignation. Gritting their teeth, they turned towards the ongoing battle, summoning their respective Magical Treasures, unleashing potent Techniques, and desperately engaging the formidable Split Wind Beast.
Concurrently, the Three Treasures Incarnation activated the potent Yin Yang Qi Grasp. This technique intertwined with Lu Changsheng's Life-bound Magic Treasure, the [Yin Yang Chart], which hovered majestically above his head. Together, they manifested an immense, sky-obscuring hand, designed to relentlessly suppress the defiant Split Wind Beast.
"Did you administer some form of poison to this beast?"
Lu Changsheng, sensing an anomaly in the Split Wind Beast's condition, conveyed his inquiry through the Three Treasures Incarnation.
"Replying to the esteemed senior, earlier we managed to infuse some Corrosive Immortal Powder into the [Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk]. Consequently, this Demon King is now being relentlessly eroded by the Corrosive Immortal Powder, severely impacting both its physical form and its consciousness."
One of the Nascent Soul Cultivators responded with utmost respect to the Three Treasures Incarnation.
"Corrosive Immortal Powder?"
Lu Changsheng had never encountered this particular poison before. The world was replete with an astonishing variety of peculiar toxins, many of them lethally potent, and the constant research into new ones meant that even the comprehensive "Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture" could not possibly encompass every single one. Nevertheless, upon learning that the Split Wind Beast was succumbing to a deadly venom, he momentarily paused. With renewed resolve, his Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone pulsed with even greater intensity, intent on concluding the battle with decisive swiftness.
"Screech!!!"
Just as the six individuals and the solitary beast were locked in their intense struggle, an ear-piercing screech echoed from a considerable distance.
A dazzling streak of golden light, moving with the speed of lightning, rapidly closed in on their location. The five Nascent Soul Cultivators grew visibly apprehensive, their expressions contorting from unease into outright fear. They had hardly anticipated that, having just gained a slight advantage in the battle, another Demon King would make an appearance.
However, before their watchful and terrified eyes, the approaching Golden Peng Bird effortlessly breached the Split Wind Island Formation. It paid them no mind, heading directly towards the Split Wind Beast to deliver a powerful strike.
Although the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng had not yet achieved the Fourth Rank breakthrough,
its years of dedicated cultivation had elevated it to a quasi-Fourth Rank status. It possessed the innate ability to summon Heavenly Tribulation for its advancement, signifying a formidable and not-to-be-underestimated strength. The majestic Heavenly Peng Battles Dragon Diagram materialized above its head, launching a direct assault upon the beleaguered Split Wind Beast.
"Roar!!!"
In its uncompromised, peak condition, the Split Wind Beast would have confidently met the combined might of Lu Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. Yet, having expended considerable energy refining a treasure and now suffering the debilitating effects of the five cultivators' Corrosive Immortal Powder, its physical integrity and mental clarity were severely compromised. It rapidly began to falter, its defenses shattered by the relentless blows of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, resulting in a gaping wound several feet long, with flesh torn asunder and scale armor scattered.
"Damn humans, just you wait, I will tear you limb from limb!"
Under normal circumstances, the Split Wind Beast would have been bewildered by Lu Changsheng’s sudden attack.
However, between the poisoning, the failed attempt at treasure refinement, and Lu Changsheng’s unprovoked assault, its rage simply boiled over.
Yet, in response to its furious roar, Lu Changsheng’s Brahman Demon True Body struck, causing the beast to cry out in agony once more.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"
The Split Wind Beast's countenance contorted, its body radiating an intense silver luminescence. Spreading its wings, it conjured a ferocious gale, intending to break free and escape, planning to recuperate and seek vengeance later.
As a Demon King, its methods differed greatly from cultivators who managed Spirit Veins or cave mansions; its decision to abandon everything was swift and absolute.
"Yin Yang Qi Grasp!!!"
Observing this, Lu Changsheng’s Yin Yang Great Dao Golden Core vibrated intensely. The Yin Yang Qi surged from atop his head, converging with the Yin Yang Chart to manifest a colossal hand. This immense hand, intricately woven with the principles of Yin Yang, descended upon the Split Wind Beast.
Despite the Three Treasures Incarnation possessing the same cultivation level, the disparity in power between them was immense, especially when employing such formidable Divine Skills!
His true self’s Yin Yang Qi Grasp, refined with three threads of Xuan Huang Essence, functioned like an ancient, supreme mountain bearing down with every movement, far exceeding the Three Treasures Incarnation's version.
Now, with the unleashed Divine Skill combined with the Yin Yang Chart, a treasure nearing the Spirit Treasure rank, even the Fourth Rank Demon King, the Split Wind Beast, felt an unbearable weight crushing its form, as if a divine mountain itself had landed upon it.
"Please, treasure, turn around."
Not far off, the Three Treasures Incarnation clutched the Mystic Wood Gourd and spoke calmly.
Yet, even as he uttered these words, they were merely for show. From the gourd’s opening, a dazzling dagger shadow, appearing as if woven from countless stars, shot forth.
"Puff!!!"
The Flying Dagger swiftly pierced the Split Wind Beast’s gaping, agonized maw. It burrowed into the beast’s head, unleashing power at the Nascent Soul level, seemingly intent on obliterating its brain matter entirely.
