Chapter 157 The 5th Level of the Undying Golden Body! Hunting the Transformed Poisonous Dragon!
Cultivating immortality knows no time.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chuan has been in seclusion in the cave he opened on Biling Island for a full ten years.
For ten years, he rarely left his house, spending his days cultivating and refining the spiritual herbs he had collected from various places.
With the blessing of the Spirit Eye Spring and the assistance of mountains of spirit stones, his cultivation speed far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage is far more difficult than that of the Core Formation stage.
After ten years of arduous cultivation, Lin Chuan's cultivation level has indeed improved significantly, and his magical power is nearly 30% stronger than when he first formed his Nascent Soul.
However, he knew that without some extremely miraculous spiritual medicine, even if he cultivated for another forty or fifty years, it would be difficult to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage cannot be overcome simply by time.
Lin Chuan decided to temporarily put aside his magical cultivation and focus his energy on body-refining techniques—the "Undying Golden Body".
After consuming that yellow body-tempering pill last time, I have already cultivated this technique to the peak of the fourth level.
With a little more effort, you'll be able to reach the threshold of the fifth level.
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and continued his seclusion.
Day after day, month after month.
He refined the essence and blood of the demonic beasts he hunted from various places, and swallowed the body-tempering pills one by one, tempering his physical body again and again.
Bones, flesh, meridians, internal organs... every inch is being repeatedly polished and strengthened.
Ten years later.
On this day, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth in the quiet room!
The golden light emanated from Lin Chuan's body, illuminating the entire quiet room.
Within the golden light, countless mysterious runes could be faintly seen flowing across the surface of his skin, like a natural robe.
The golden light lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before slowly receding.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing from them.
He stood up and clenched his fist.
At this moment, his physical strength alone is enough to directly confront the magic weapons of some ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators!
Such a physique can give one a great advantage in combat.
Imagine that your opponent finally manages to break through your protective aura, but when their magic weapon hits you, it's like a tickle—how would that feel?
"Now, it's time to try that red pill."
Lin Chuan took out the jade bottle he had treasured for many years from his storage bag.
Inside the bottle, the red pill lay quietly, emitting a faint red glow.
The divination at the time indicated that the elixir was too potent, and given his physical strength at the time, he would bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly after taking it.
Now that he has cultivated his indestructible golden body to the fifth level, he should be able to do it, right?
However, to be on the safe side, let's wait for tomorrow's divination.
……
The divination results were updated early the next morning.
Today's divination result: Very auspicious.
[The divination reads: Today, you consumed that red pill. The pill's power merged into your physical body, further tempering your bones, flesh, and meridians. Your physical strength increased once more, and the fifth layer of your Undying Golden Body became even more stable, now comparable to the physical strength of a level nine transformed demon.]
Without further hesitation, Lin Chuan took out the red pill and put it in his mouth.
The pill entered his stomach and instantly transformed into an extremely violent heat current!
The heat was as hot as magma, instantly surging into every part of the body! Wherever it passed, the bones crackled and popped, as if every bone was being reforged!
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face.
pain!
The pain was more than ten times greater than when I swallowed the yellow pill back then!
But he gritted his teeth and endured it.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Gradually, the violent heat began to subside.
Lin Chuan opened his eyes and looked down to find his body covered in a thin layer of grayish-black greasy grime. But this time, the grime faintly shimmered with a golden light.
He used magic to cleanse himself and sat cross-legged again.
At this moment, his whole body was radiating golden light, and golden runes were faintly flowing on the surface of his skin, making him look like a golden Arhat.
Its physical strength has surpassed that of an ordinary level eight transformed demon, and it can barely compete with some level nine transformed demons!
……
Lin Chuan stood up and stretched his limbs.
Next, he planned to go out and hunt some monsters.
With his current combat power, his target is naturally—a transformed great demon.
Moreover, in order to avoid exposing the secret of Biling Island, he had to leave this place and go to an unfamiliar sea area seven or eight hundred thousand miles away.
Lin Chuan left the cave, exchanged a few words with Yuan Yao, and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the vast sea.
……
Three months later, in an unfamiliar sea area.
Lin Chuan hovered high in the sky, before him stretched an endless blue sea. He took out a nautical chart and checked his location—he was already seven or eight hundred thousand miles away from Biling Island, far enough.
In the days that followed, he roamed the seas, searching for suitable prey each morning guided by divination.
Three days later, the divination results were updated.
Today's divination result: Very auspicious.
[The divination reads: Today, you travel 30,000 li to the northeast to a ring-shaped island. In the center of the island lies a vast lake, within which lurks an eighth-level venomous dragon. This dragon is powerful, but with your current strength, you are more than capable of slaying it.]
"Level 8 Poisonous Dragon".
A slight smile appeared on Lin Chuan's lips.
An eighth-level transformed demon is comparable to an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Because of their powerful physiques, demonic beasts often possess combat strength exceeding that of early-stage Nascent Soul humans of the same level.
Moreover, this is a dragon with a powerful bloodline, possessing combat strength almost comparable to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Of course, it's only "comparable" to.
In real battles, human cultivators can narrow the gap caused by their physical strength by relying on various magical treasures and secret techniques.
Lin Chuan flew in the direction indicated by the divination.
Thirty thousand miles, at his speed, would only take him a little over half an hour.
A circular island appears ahead.
The island is circular, with the land connected in a circle, and in the middle is a huge lake with deep blue water that is unfathomable.
Lin Chuan concealed his aura, hovered above the lake, and probed the lake with his divine sense.
Deep beneath the lake, a massive black shadow lurks in the silt.
The black shadow was several tens of feet long, its entire body was pitch black, its scales gleamed with a cold, eerie light, and it had a single dark red horn on its head.
Level 8 Poisonous Dragon!
Lin Chuan no longer concealed his power and unleashed his full aura!
The dark shadow at the bottom of the lake suddenly moved, and a pair of eerie green vertical pupils opened, staring intently at Lin Chuan on the water's surface.
next moment--
"boom!"
The lake water exploded, and a huge black figure soared into the sky!
The venomous dragon opened its blood-red maw, and a jet of jet-black venom shot out like a sharp arrow! Wherever the venom passed, the air hissed and corroded!
Lin Chuan dodged easily with a swift movement.
The venomous dragon missed its first attack, and then swept its tail across the air with a whistling sound!
Lin Chuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his hand and threw a punch!
"boom!"
Their fists and tails collided, unleashing a deafening roar! Lin Chuan's body swayed slightly, but the venomous dragon's tail was jolted high into the air!
A hint of horror flashed in the venomous dragon's eyes.
How can the human body be so strong?
Lin Chuan didn't give it time to react, raising his hand and waving—
Thirty-six golden sword lights shot out from the storage bag!
Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword!
Thirty-six flying swords formed a mysterious array in the air, their sword lights intertwining and their sword energy crisscrossing, enveloping the poisonous dragon within!
The Great Geng Sword Formation!
"roar!"
The venomous dragon roared, its demonic power surging wildly as it struggled desperately! But once the Great Geng Sword Formation was set up, it was like a net from heaven and earth, not so easy to break free from.
Thirty-six flying swords, each capable of conjuring several beams of sword light.
In an instant, countless sword shadows rained down like a storm, slashing wildly at the poisonous dragon!
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The sword light struck the scales of the venomous dragon, sending countless sparks flying. Although the scales were hard, they quickly developed cracks under the continuous attack of the Great Geng Sword Formation.
The venomous dragon, in pain, twisted its body desperately, spewing venom from its mouth in an attempt to corrode the flying swords.
However, after the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword was mixed with Geng Essence, it became incredibly sturdy, and mere venom could not damage it in the slightest.
"roar!"
The venomous dragon roared, its body suddenly shrinking into a middle-aged man in black robes.
His face was deathly pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as he glared fiercely at Lin Chuan.
"Human, you're asking for death!"
He rubbed his hands together, and a cloud of pitch-black poisonous mist surged from his body, quickly spreading out! Wherever the poisonous mist passed, even the sword light was corroded and dimmed!
Lin Chuan frowned.
This venomous dragon is indeed quite capable.
But he was prepared.
Within the Divine Court's sea of consciousness, forty-five pale golden divine consciousness spikes suddenly shot out!
The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects!
The divine sense spikes were invisible and incredibly fast, instantly piercing into the head of the venomous dragon!
"ah--!"
The venomous dragon screamed, clutching its head as the spreading poisonous mist went out of control! Its consciousness went blank for a moment, its body staggered, and its protective demonic light fluctuated violently!
It's now!
Lin Chuan formed hand seals, and the swords of thirty-six flying swords shone brightly, their sword energy weaving into a net that swept down towards the poisonous dragon!
"No--!"
The venomous dragon awoke with a start and struggled desperately, but it was too late.
"Pfft pfft pfft—"
Countless sword lights slashed at him, and blood gushed out!
His protective demonic aura shattered instantly, and his body was slashed with countless deep, bone-revealing wounds!
next moment--
A head the size of a bucket flew high into the air!
The venomous dragon's corpse fell from the sky and crashed onto the sea, creating towering waves!
A phantom dragon spirit burst forth from the corpse, attempting to escape.
Lin Chuan was prepared. He raised his hand and waved it, and a beam of blue light shot out—Dry Blue Ice Flame!
The blue flames instantly enveloped the essence, transforming it into a ball of blue ice crystals that fell into Lin Chuan's hand.
He took out a jade box, placed the frozen essence inside, and affixed a sealing talisman.
Then, he landed beside the poisonous dragon's corpse, took out its demon core, extracted its tendons, and peeled off its skin... His movements were fluid and seamless.
A moment later, he put all the spoils into his storage bag.
He glanced at the bare dragon corpse, then casually cast a fireball, burning it to ashes.
then.
He fled ten thousand miles away in one breath.
