A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 119 Accumulation

Chapter 119 Accumulation

Luo Ming flashed and appeared in front of the demon core, a magical hand over ten feet long emerging and grabbing at the blue demon core.

Seeing that someone was blocking its way, the dragon soul on the demon core roared angrily, its body radiating blue light. Its speed increased even more, and it nimbly dodged Luo Ming's interception. Then, it transformed into a blue ray of light and was about to shoot into the sea.

With this dragon's water-controlling supernatural ability, once it enters the sea, Luo Ming will find it difficult to catch. It's like a fish; it's fine when it's on land, but once it enters the water, those on land have no good way to catch it.

Just then, Luo Ming formed hand seals, and an invisible force instantly shot out from between his eyebrows, directly towards the dragon soul on the demon core. This was the Fire God Thorn Divine Power he had cultivated.

The Fire God Thorn contains domineering fire-attribute divine power, which perfectly counters the Blue Dragon's water-attribute divine abilities and primordial spirit.

"Aww!"

The fiery spike struck the blue demon core precisely, instantly burning away the blue aura on its surface. The phantom of the primordial spirit within the core let out a painful scream, its aura suddenly weakening. Without the protection of its spiritual light, the demon core's speed decreased sharply, and it plummeted straight down.

Luo Ming raised his hand and the Thousand Demon Banner instantly appeared in his hand. With a wave of the banner, billowing black energy surged out, transforming into a giant black claw that firmly grasped the falling demon core and enveloped it.

The black energy continued to seep in, forcibly stripping the illusory primordial spirit from the demon core. The weak dragon primordial spirit struggled desperately in the black energy, but ultimately could not escape the fate of being devoured. In the end, it was completely absorbed and refined by the Thousand Demon Banner, becoming another demon soul combat force within the banner.

Luo Ming put away the Thousand Demon Banner, picked up the blue demon core, and felt a cool sensation when he touched it. Although the demon power was somewhat depleted, it was still extremely pure.

He weighed the demon core in his hand, a smile playing on his lips: "I didn't expect this level-five blue dragon to have such abilities. Luckily, I reacted in time, or it would have escaped."

The Golden Gu Elder and the Black Tortoise also arrived at this moment. Seeing that the battle was over, the Golden Gu Elder cupped his hands and said, "Young master, you have excellent skills. If you hadn't intervened in time, this beast's primordial spirit would have really escaped today."

The black tortoise nodded in a human-like manner, emitting a low whimper, as if agreeing with the old man Jin Gu's words.

Afterwards, Luo Ming began to deal with the remains of the Blue Dragon's body.

He took out a short blade, the Bloodthirsty Blade he had obtained from Liu Shi. When he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, he only felt that the blade was very sharp, but when he reached the Core Formation stage, he found that the blade was not ordinary.

Because when activated by the power of the Core Formation stage, its sharpness is even stronger than that of ordinary magic weapons, and it can easily leave marks on the hard shell of the Xuan Turtle. For some time now, he has been using this blade to cut monster materials.

"Liu Shi, you said you obtained this blade from a cultivator who had been to the outer seas. Do you have any specific information?" Luo Ming still doesn't know the materials used to forge this blade, and he is also puzzled that he can't put it into his storage bag.

"This... we killed that person directly back then, and found this blade later when we were sorting through his storage bag," Liu Shi's voice cautiously came from within.

Since Luo Ming advanced to the Core Formation stage, he has gradually accepted his fate and feels that he is in a good state now, so he no longer needs to risk fighting.

Most importantly, his primordial spirit was trapped in the blade, yet he felt no weakness whatsoever. It should be noted that although the primordial spirit can attach itself to a magical artifact, it will slowly dissipate without the means of nourishing the soul. However, he showed no abnormality whatsoever while trapped in this blade.

Even when cutting through high-level demonic beasts, this blade could also absorb some of their essence blood. He even felt that he was slightly stronger than before, which gave him some new hope.

Luo Ming hadn't noticed any of this yet; he just felt that the blade was quite useful, and with his magic power activated, its surface was covered with a layer of blood-red blade light.

"Sizzle!"

The blue dragon's hard outer armor was slashed open. Although the dragon was dead and had lost its spiritual power defense, the body of a high-level demon beast is still very hard, which is enough to show how sharp the blade was.

"This dragon tendon is quite good. It's a good opportunity to try refining the Demon-Binding Rope and accumulate experience in refining magical artifacts."

Luo Ming pulled out a blue, semi-transparent dragon tendon and found it to be incredibly resilient. He chuckled and put it away.

For a Core Formation cultivator, weapon crafting is basically a must-learn skill, as it relates to the crafting of their natal magic weapon.

The magical artifacts used before reaching the Core Formation stage can be purchased directly, allowing cultivators to dedicate all their precious time to cultivation.

However, once you reach the Core Formation stage, some things can only be done by yourself. For example, who would dare to entrust the crafting of this natal magic weapon to someone else? If someone secretly places some kind of restriction inside, it would be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, as cultivators reach higher levels of cultivation, they can learn things faster by relying on their powerful divine sense. In addition, their lifespan is long, which is why high-level cultivators above the Core Formation stage all possess multiple skills.

Luo Ming precisely peeled off the complete scales from the blue dragon's body. These dragon scales were harder than refined iron and could be used to forge defensive magic treasures or a piece of armor. Even in the hands of a Core Formation cultivator, they would be considered top-grade.

"You're in for a treat today." After finishing, he gathered the stripped dragon flesh and some of its essence together and beckoned the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon had been waiting nearby. Upon seeing this, it immediately stepped forward, opened its mouth wide, and a stream of water swept out, engulfing a large amount of flesh and blood in front of it.

Since the Xuan Turtle advanced, most of the flesh and blood of high-level demon beasts have benefited the Azure Flood Dragon. As it devours more, the azure spiritual light around its body becomes thicker and more solid, its body becomes more robust, and the luster on its scales becomes more lustrous. Its aura has reached the peak of the fourth level, only a step away from the fifth level demon beast.

Luo Ming observed quietly from the side, and after a moment he slowly nodded: "Yes, the foundation has been accumulated enough, only the final opportunity is needed."

Looking at the Fat-feathered Bird and the Wind-flying Beast beside them, they felt somewhat helpless.

Originally, the Fat Sun Bird had the fastest cultivation growth, but after arriving at the outer sea, nourished by the flesh and blood of a large number of high-level water-attribute demon beasts, the Black Tortoise and the Azure Dragon overtook them and caught up.

In fact, the cultivation speed of the Fat Sun Bird and the Wind Fox Beast is already very fast. If they were in the Spirit Beast Mountain, they would definitely be the envy of other Core Formation cultivators. You should know that they often spend decades cultivating their spirit beasts and still find it difficult to advance even one level.

The accumulation of magical power alone is a huge problem, let alone breaking through to a higher realm. It seems that the outer sea is indeed a paradise for beast-taming cultivators.

"I need to keep a low profile about my role as a high-level demon beast commander in the outer seas, otherwise I might attract the attention of transformed demon beasts." Luo Ming looked at his several spirit beasts and remembered something.

In the open sea, human cultivators and demons have essentially reached a tacit understanding: to hunt each other and let the fittest survive. As long as they don't gather in large numbers, they will inevitably incur the demons' retaliation.

If all the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain were to come here to hunt demonic beasts, what awaited them would not be a great increase in the strength of their own spirit beasts, but rather a crisis of annihilation for their entire sect.

"No rush, no rush. Once your master returns to Qiyuan Island, we can see if we can buy some high-level demon cores with wind and fire attributes."

Luo Ming comforted the greedy Zhiyang Bird and Fengli Beast beside him, and began to fully assist the Azure Dragon in its advancement.
