Chapter 1018: Chapter 986: Demon Flood Dragon Sea
Using just a gaze to extinguish a Crystallization Cultivator, for a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, this task is as effortless as flipping a hand.
Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, if they resist with gritted teeth, might not be killed on the spot, but at the very least, they will lose several decades of cultivation.
The might of a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator can manifest incredible dignity with a mere raise of the hand, leaving no room for any desecration.
The scholar’s fall left both the burly man and the old man in shock, not expecting such a scene to occur.
Their mouths opened wide in fear, originally pondering what had happened, but soon met Lu Ping’s gaze, and their doubts dissipated.
They obtained the answer through death.
"No!"
The old man’s cultivation was slightly higher, and he was also equipped with a Magical Artifact to protect his Divine Soul.
But even so, facing Lu Ping’s gaze full of slaughter, he felt his own insignificance, realizing the gap between him and Lu Ping was as vast as heaven and earth, not even on the same level.
Crack, crack, crack.
The Divine Soul Jade equipped by the old man could not withstand this power, shattering into pieces, breaking into dozens of fragments.
At the same time, the old man, with a last trace of consciousness, widened his pupils with an expression of extreme fear, screaming: "Divinity Transformation..."
Just like the scholar’s fate, Lu Ping merely glanced, and the old man was killed instantly.
Thud.
The sound of kneeling on the ground echoed, as the last burly man was frightened into kneeling on the ground.
His previously tough stance shifted, his whole body trembled with terror, his legs softened, and liquid started to flow from his pants, frightening him into urination.
A Crystallization Stage Cultivator frightened to this state; he could not be blamed for lack of courage.
Facing such a lofty, unparalleled Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, who could dare to look directly?
"Don’t, don’t kill me, senior, senior..."
The burly man’s previous arrogance completely disappeared, and disregarding his dignity, he begged for mercy, not daring to use the pre-arranged formation even a bit.
Though a Tier Four Array is indeed powerful, against a cultivator surpassing the Golden Core Stage, this array simply isn’t enough, hardly a threat to Lu Ping.
The old man’s last words, "Divinity Transformation," scared the burly man completely as though in a dream.
It was unimaginable that a mighty Hidden World Level super expert, rarely seen, would appear before them.
Moreover, the three of them had foolishly regarded this person as a target for hunting.
If the time was to reverse, they would definitely escape, not daring to glance at Lu Ping.
Faced with the burly man’s plea, Lu Ping remained indifferent, slightly raising his eyebrow and directly commencing slaughter.
"Ah——"
With a scream, the burly man’s fate was the same as the scholar and the old man’s, killed instantly.
Turning his gaze to the surrounding formation barrier still in place, Lu Ping’s eyes surged with divine light, emitting two substantial beams, explosively striking the formation barrier.
This Tier Four Middle Grade Trapped Dragon Array couldn’t possibly confine Lu Ping, the True Dragon, shattering instantly like glass.
Lu Ping showed no interest in the storage bags left behind by the three, leaving them as an opportunity for those destined to find.
Perhaps not long after, a cultivator with great luck would find these storage bags, dramatically boosting their cultivation, soaring to the sky.
The assets of a Crystallization Stage Cultivator are of no use to a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, no longer a resource on the same level.
This was a minor episode, as Lu Ping gathered his imposing aura and continued his journey.
In the upcoming journey, after twelve days, Lu Ping entered the Mo Jiao Sea domain, where the number of demonic beasts gradually increased in the sea.
At this moment, using Divine Sense to probe the sea, one could detect Tier One to Tier Four demonic beasts active here.
These demonic beasts are all minions of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, among which are Gold Core Stage great demons, creatures that cultivators from the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars fear.
Due to the numerous sea demons, Lu Ping chose not to expend much effort, directly concealing his aura and proceeding quietly.
As he delved into the Mo Jiao Sea, a large black island came into view.
According to the records in the Hongfu Commerce Association’s Jade Scroll, that was the lair of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, named Black Flood Dragon Island.
Around the lair on the island, three Nascent Soul Stage great demons were stationed, a level of power enough to sweep Lingxi State.
"There’s something strange about this island, not just the demonic beasts alone. From what I observe, there is also a Demon Soul Array on the island."
The voice of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s clone echoed, carrying a tone of solemnity, reminding Lu Ping not to act rashly for now.
"Demon Soul Array."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping recalled the memory in his mind, finding information related to this type of array.
The so-called Demon Soul Array usually ranges from Tier Three to Tier Five, modified based on a Soul Gathering Array, capable of gathering demon souls.
Any Tier Two and above demonic beasts that fall within the array will have their demon souls attracted and imprisoned within, becoming captives.
Demonic beasts are inherently ferocious, killing and devouring each other, thus, another purpose of the Demon Soul Array comes into play.
That is to cultivate powerful demon souls.
With many demonic beasts perishing within the array, and through years of struggle, big fish eating little fish, little fish eating shrimp;
Throughout this devouring process, the array’s power gradually enhances the demon souls, boosting their strength.
Overall, it serves as a vessel to nurture powerful demon souls.
The more demonic beasts fall within, the longer the array is set up, the stronger demon souls it can produce.
If this setting were elsewhere, it would have been dismantled by the cultivation sects and strong powers long ago, preventing the development of the demon race.
However, this is the domain of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, and ordinary cultivators dare not tread here, avoiding it from afar.
Thus, under the protection of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s majesty, this Demon Soul Array continues to exist, spawning ever more powerful demon souls.
Any external attempts to attack the island must first clear the active demonic beasts around, inadvertently providing the array with more demon soul resources, aiding its development.
"This array has existed for at least six hundred years, harboring no less than ten Nascent Soul Stage great demons."
The voice of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint clone continued.
"If we wish to delve into the island, we must first try to break this array, otherwise we’re simply providing resources for it."
"There are plenty of demonic beasts in the vicinity, and most of them can become nourishment for the array upon death, ultimately becoming food for those Nascent Soul Stage demon souls."
"This array is likely the handiwork of the Dark Demon Flood Dragon. A Tier Six level demonic beast has intelligence equivalent to cultivators, often mastering cultivation arts similar to ours, adept at artifact refining and formation setting, with profound accomplishment."
