Chapter 616: Chapter 614 Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light
Ning Daoran was dumbfounded.
...
"Dragon~~~my dear brother, I’m going!"
The Black Bull’s massive form sank, evil qi erupting all over, as it decided to unleash its final attack, intending to shatter the remaining array and slay two out of Ning Daoran, True Monarch Du’e, and True Monarch Liu Yun!
"Not good!"
True Monarch Du’e paled in shock, realizing this wave of attack was hard to stop.
"Fellow Daoist Ning..."
True Monarch Liu Yun gritted her silver teeth; if the array was breached, she would have no means to resist the Black Bull’s power.
At this moment, Ning Daoran had already summoned his Divine Soul, shamelessly probing the lifespan of the Black Bull.
From the earlier open "chat" between the bull and the dragon, it was revealed that the Black Bull’s lifespan was nearly exhausted. If so...there might be a chance to slay it without bloodshed.
In a flash, the probing was complete!
The Black Bull had just over fifty years of lifespan left!
If not slain, waiting for it to die of old age meant Ning Daoran and the others wouldn’t need to leave anymore.
However, Ning Daoran had a secret weapon.
"Old Lu!"
He suddenly slapped the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven: "It’s up to you, use the divine light to finish it off!"
"Aoo~~~"
The Big Stupid Deer transformed into a ray of white light, soaring out of the Grotto Heaven, its body glowing with a sacred radiance. Its antlers were exceptionally exquisite and beautiful, flowing with innate divine light.
The Big Stupid Deer’s bloodline was indeed powerful. Even though Little Bai had advanced to Nascent Soul, the Big Stupid Deer was still slightly stronger.
Moreover, its innate divine abilities were extremely rare.
"Hmm?"
Amid the charge, the Black Bull glanced at the Big Stupid Deer, sneering. A mere early Nascent Soul Spiritual Beast that wasn’t even fit to be a grandson to itself—what trouble could it possibly cause?
Yet, in the next second, the Big Stupid Deer raised its forehooves sharply, divine light glistening from the antlers, locking onto the Black Bull from afar, and with a "shua", a beam of brilliance descended!
Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light!
In an instant, over twenty years of the Black Bull’s lifespan vanished!
The Big Stupid Deer shook its head, instantly unleashing another beam of Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light!
"Moo moo moo~~~"
The Black Bull was filled with terror, eyes wide in disbelief—how could this be?
"Shua!"
The third Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light descended!
Immediately, the Black Bull’s few remaining years vanished!
Its lifespan depleted, it perished on the spot!
"Peng!"
The massive body crashed heavily on the stone path, then continuously shrank, transforming into a black cow weighing about dozens of tons. Its hide was extraordinarily tough, a treasure for crafting fourth-order top-grade talismans; its horns and hooves also shimmered brightly, all being treasures.
"Cow~~~"
In the distance, came a lament from the dragon, followed by words filled with hatred: "You three bastards, I’ll be waiting at the end of the secret realm for you. If you’re not afraid to die and want the ultimate treasure, come forth. I will definitely avenge the cow!"
Saying this, the dragon’s voice gradually faded, its presence completely disappearing.
...
"..."
It was only now that True Monarch Du’e awoke from his amazement. Looking at the fallen Black Bull, and then at the hovering Big Stupid Deer, he asked: "Junior Brother Ning, what just happened...how could your spiritual beast eliminate this late-stage Nascent Soul cow demon in an instant?"
"Brother Du’e does not know."
Ning Daoran did not conceal the matter: "Old Lu is a descendant of the Nine-colored Deer. Upon advancing to Nascent Soul, its bloodline atavized, granting it the divine skill known as the Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light. This divine light doesn’t have other capabilities, but it can equally deplete its target’s lifespan with its own, which proves highly effective against an ancient demon beast with only a few decades of life remaining."
"Indeed..."
True Monarch Du’e was shocked, stroking his beard: "Luckily, I still have plenty of lifespan left..."
"Where is it plenty?"
True Monarch Liu Yun glanced at him, saying: "Fellow Daoist Ning, your white deer must have a lot of lifespan left, right?"
"Indeed."
Ning Daoran explained: "Old Lu currently has at least ten thousand years of lifespan, which is why I’m willing to have it consume lifespan to kill this cow demon. That way, we avoid the cow demon possibly slaying two out of the three of us, which would be more loss than gain. I believe the three of us coming together should also return together. Losing any one of us would be utterly unwarranted."
"Hmm."
True Monarch Liu Yun nodded in agreement.
In fact, she was the weakest among the three in terms of combat power. Though adept in the Array Path, in a fight, True Monarch Du’e was stronger. If one had to die, True Monarch Liu Yun would most likely be the one to fall.
"About this cow’s battle achievements..."
Ning Daoran raised a hand, catching a wisp of the Black Bull’s soul: "I shall claim it?"
"As it should be."
True Monarch Du’e smiled: "The Black Bull was slain by Junior Brother Ning’s white deer with the Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light. In truth, Fellow Daoist Liu Yun and I did not contribute much to its defeat."
"Agreed."
Ning Daoran immediately imbued the Black Bull’s soul into the demon-slaying token, which glowed momentarily, though how many points it increased was unknown.
As for the Black Bull’s Nascent Soul, given that it died of lifespan exhaustion, its Divine Soul and Nascent Soul dissipated instantly, leaving no trace behind.
"Regarding the Black Bull’s physical body..."
Ning Daoran stated: "The cowhide and cow blood are top-tier materials for talisman making. Fellow Daoist Liu Yun, you lost a lot of third-tier arrays earlier, so I can offer you half of the cowhide and cow blood; the rest will belong to me. How about that?"
This time, he played smart, proposing a fifty-fifty split with True Monarch Liu Yun, ensuring she wouldn’t feel inclined to take it all.
"Brother Du’e."
Ning Daoran said: "There isn’t much else to share with you, but you can have a pair of cow horns and all four hooves. The horns are imbued with strong flame energy and could possibly be refined into spiritual treasure-level items. The hooves at least can be made into magical treasure-level items, so it’s not a bad deal."
"That makes sense!"
True Monarch Du’e joyfully expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Junior Brother Ning!"
"No need to be so polite among us!"
Thus, everyone busied themselves, immediately dividing the Black Bull’s materials.
Ning Daoran took half of the cowhide and cow blood, and kept the cow bones too. These bones were exceptionally hard, with key pieces of Lifebound Bone that could be refined into treasures. Given quality auxiliary materials, there was a high chance of crafting spiritual treasure-grade defense items.
As for the beef, he did not hoard it all, sharing it with the two great cultivators. Every part, from the tongue, snowy flanks, dragon hangers, tender beef, to the five-flower tendon, was meticulously divided. They even planned to reunite later for a hotpot feast in Guiru City.
Of course, none of the trio were concerned with the dragon’s sorrow.
...
"Time to set off."
True Monarch Liu Yun stated solemnly: "It’s now clear the one guarding the ultimate spot of the secret realm is the cow’s friend, likely a dragon species, at least a late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast. If we wish to obtain the ultimate treasure of Taixu Immortal Realm, we must overcome this hurdle."
"Indeed."
True Monarch Du’e acknowledged: "However, shouldn’t we plan first?"
"Naturally."
Ning Daoran furrowed his brow: "The cow’s lifespan was short, and killing it with the Reincarnation Life and Death Divine Light posed no significant risk. However, the dragon’s lifespan might be extensive. If it exceeds a hundred years, I will not have Old Lu sacrifice its lifespan to kill it, so we need to plan in advance."
"Alright."
True Monarch Liu Yun said: "If Fellow Daoist Ning has a strategy, please share it."
"Hmm."
Ning Daoran nodded: "Throughout our journey, we’ve faced ample trials and procured many opportunities, our rankings on the Demon Slayer List have also improved. Thus, if this final treasure in the secret realm is attainable, we should take it; if not, there’s no need to force it. My suggestion is that if the dragon is at the Divinity Transformation Stage, we retreat immediately!"
He gently patted the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven at his waist: "I will directly bring both fellow Daoists into my Grotto Heaven, and escape with you. So please, do not resist when I send you into the Grotto Heaven."
"Alright!"
True Monarch Liu Yun agreed wholeheartedly: "But if the opponent truly is a Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Venerable, how confident are you, Fellow Daoist Ning, in safely escaping the Immortal Realm under such pursuit?"
"At least ninety percent."
Ning Daoran frowned: "Though not exceedingly high, it beats throwing our lives away together."
"That’s already very high!"
True Monarch Du’e stated earnestly: "In my lifetime, I’ve never sought stability in my endeavors, be it breaking through stages or defeating enemies. As long as I have over fifty percent chance, I go for it, never aiming for a perfect ten."
Ning Daoran nodded, pondering that indeed, Brother Du’e was of the courageous and diligent type.
"If the dragon is indeed late-stage Nascent Soul, that’s even better."
Ning Daoran proposed: "I will first establish all arrays, and you two will join forces to attack and kill it. But remember, take no risks. We strive for everyone to return safely!"
"Good!"
True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun nodded in agreement.
True Monarch Du’e was genuinely touched. Despite centuries of cultivation and countless secret realms explored, never before had someone emphasized the importance of everyone making it out alive together.
In past ventures, everyone dearly hoped for others to perish except themselves, so they could claim all opportunities for themselves.
True Monarch Liu Yun smiled softly. Though not typically exploring secret realms, her few experiences had been pleasant. This time was especially rewarding, enriching her with treasures and substantial battle technique experience—profoundly beneficial for her journey.
Moreover, if in the end she could obtain the heritage of the Fourth-Order Top-Grade Taixu Return Array along with Ning Daoran, it would be even more perfect.
...
At the inner hall’s end in the Returning Ruins Immortal Land.
In an ancient hall filled with an old-time charm lay a black dragon, its body covered densely in scales. Its form coiled, and a sinister head rose, gazing coldly at Ning Daoran and his group approaching, evidently waiting to unleash its full wrath upon them.
"You..."
The black dragon’s gaze was icy: "You carry its scent upon you...the cow, indeed slain by the three of you, am I right?"
"Indeed so."
Ning Daoran replied calmly: "So, Fellow Taoist, are you seeking revenge for the Black Bull? If that is the case, there’s no need for words. Let’s settle matters through our skills!"
"You three bastards!"
The black dragon’s eyes filled with killing intent, its body slowly rose: "I shall crush you to dust and burn your Nascent Soul Divine Souls to ashes, as an offering to the spirit of the bull...my fallen brother!"
