Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 691 - 689: Senior Brother Ning Is So Awesome

"Crackling sounds..."

Countless Iron Hook Worms crashed into the Fire Devouring Ants’ flame cloud, but it was as if a swarm of insects had rushed into a bonfire. Each crackling sound signaled an Iron Hook Worm’s head being bitten open, followed by a swarm of Fire Devouring Ants devouring its entire body.

Their strength was entirely mismatched. Ning Daoran’s swarm of Fire Devouring Ants had been nurtured for nearly five hundred years, fed on Spiritual Sheep and Spirit Chicken meat, or the Tai Sui Meat grown by the Two Black Taisui, and had undergone repeated mutual devouring and evolution. Every Fire Devouring Ant that survived was a battle-hardened Sharp Warrior. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Moreover, on the Ten Thousand Insects List, Fire Devouring Ants were ranked far above their opponents. As a result, their combat capabilities weren’t even on the same level, and in mere moments, the Iron Hook Worms were reduced to the slaughtered side!

"No!"

The Late-stage Nascent Soul Insect Master watched in horror, his eyes brimming with killing intent as he stared at Ning Daoran. "You little beast, you’re actually an Insect Master too... what a cruel heart!"

Ning Daoran did not waste words. His body sank, and in the instant lightning flashed around him, he appeared directly in front of the old man, slamming a heavy punch into his abdomen!

"Boom!"

The Dragon Demon Domain instantly unfolded, delivering a full-force strike!

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his body arching like a shrimp, his face full of shock. "Mixed Element... Mixed Element Middle Stage..."

"Correct!"

Ning Daoran didn’t intend to give the opponent any further chance to react. Just as rays of light from Spiritual Treasures seeped out of the old man’s skin, Ning Daoran unleashed a Soul Suppressing Technique!

"Die!"

Twisting his body sharply, he pulled a weighty Big Green Dragon from the void, the spear bending and twisting violently. In the next second, the spearhead fiercely smashed into the old man’s skull!

Hitting the mark, a clear crack appeared in the old man’s skull, strands of spirit light wrapping around the eerie sight of exposed brain matter.

"You animal!"

The old man broke free from the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Technique and hurriedly summoned a Spiritual Treasure!

But just as rage consumed him, Ning Daoran unexpectedly launched a second Soul Suppressing Technique!

Being an Insect Master steeped in the Insect Path, the old man’s cultivation of the Divine Soul fell far behind that of ordinary Great Cultivators. Once more, he was paralyzed, standing dumbly in place!

"Boom!"

The Big Green Dragon swung down with full strength, again striking the old man’s skull!

This time, traces of brain matter splattered out, and the old man’s body, akin to a cannonball, flew backward, violently breaking through a thousand-year-old tree.

"You... you..."

The old man lay gravely injured, his physical harm so severe it was beyond repair. Upon seeing the dwindling swarm of Iron Hook Worms being utterly annihilated by the Fire Devouring Ants, his heart filled with unbearable anguish.

"Fellow Daoist, treasure your next life."

Ning Daoran raised his hand, pressing two fingers onto the old man’s forehead. In the next instant, a ray of Golden Silk Sword light shot forth, directly slaying the opponent. He then smashed the old man’s Nascent Soul with a punch and fed it to Little Qing.

Thus, the arduous battle concluded.

Retrieving his Fire Devouring Ants, a quick count revealed virtually no losses. On the contrary, several Fire Devouring Ants had begun showing signs of imminent evolution from devouring the Iron Hook Worms. No matter—Ning Daoran collected them all into his Spirit Beast Bag to let them evolve slowly.

Afterward, Ning Daoran began examining the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator’s Storage Ring.

It was astonishing—the man turned out to be immensely wealthy.

Just the Spirit Stones alone amounted to six million, plus two Mid-grade Spirit Treasures and six Low-grade Spirit Treasures, leaving Ning Daoran dumbfounded.

Clearly, this Insect Master hadn’t been a virtuous figure in the North Sea Cultivation World. The rampant use of insect swarms to kill other cultivators and claim their treasures was undoubtedly one of his regular practices.

If not, how could a legitimate cultivator accumulate such riches?

Ning Daoran cast a righteous glance at the corpse of the old cultivator.

A pest of the Cultivation World! Truly deserving of death!

...

After tidying up, Ning Daoran advanced deeper into Thousand Island Lake.

Soon, intense mana fluctuations emerged from the mist ahead. Ning Daoran frowned and immediately suppressed his aura while moving closer, concealing himself within floating clouds, noiselessly approaching.

Up ahead, a large island surfaced. Lightning and sword intent continuously burst forth from the island, and even the Two Forms Taiji Star Formation had begun to appear. The battle was ferocious!

On the map, this island was called Qingli Island—one of Thousand Island Lake’s high Spirit Vein islands. It had been a long-contested hotspot during the Battle of Descent, changing ownership repeatedly, similar to the former Liuhua Island.

Hidden within the fog, Ning Daoran surveyed the battlefield and finally saw everything clearly.

The ones fighting against the North Sea cultivators were familiar faces: Lin Xuyan, Liu Wushuang, and several Nascent Soul Early Stage disciples of the Liangyi Sect led by an elderly Taoist.

The elderly Taoist was neither True Monarch Qi Xing nor another figure but instead a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator who looked immortal-like, wreathed in strands of sword light, signifying that he had cultivated the Liangyi Sword Technique to the realm of Transformation.

If no surprises occurred, this man was none other than the Liangyi Sect Master—the legendary Liangyi True Monarch!

At this moment, Liangyi True Monarch and Lin Xuyan’s group were at a disadvantage.

The opposing side comprised three individuals, all Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with formidable power. Liangyi True Monarch could only hold off one, while Lin Xuyan, Liu Wushuang, and the rest struggled to fend off the other two. Furthermore, their adversaries had unleashed three Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beasts to support the fight, leaving the Liangyi Sect faction in a dire predicament.

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow. If he recklessly joined the battlefield now, it would likely alarm Lin Xuyan’s group and disrupt their fighting rhythm. He needed to signal his intention first.

Thus, hidden among the clouds, he transmitted a message to Liangyi True Monarch: "Uncle Two Forms, it’s Ning Daoran. I’m hiding nearby and ready to aid you anytime."

"Nephew Ning?"

Liangyi True Monarch’s voice carried a burst of delight. "The opponent I’m facing is a North Sea cultivator known as Black Dragon True Monarch—he’s the most challenging. Nephew Ning, how do you plan to assist?"

"Uncle, feign a flaw in your defense and shift your position east, then execute your strongest kill strike. Together, we’ll swiftly defeat Black Dragon True Monarch. What do you think?"

"Agreed!"

Liangyi True Monarch unleashed a barrage of Flying Swords, aggressively attacking and seemingly eager to conclude the battle. This created a noticeable vulnerability.

"Old fool!"

Black Dragon True Monarch’s gaze turned cold, and with a sudden motion, he spat out a jet-black short knife, which hurtled toward Liangyi True Monarch’s chest!

"Not good!"

Liangyi True Monarch feigned shock, hastily activating Sword Aura to protect himself and shifting his body eastward!

’Decent acting...’

Ning Daoran silently praised. At this moment, he had already readied the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow, his eyes turning icy cold as a Soul Suppressing Technique struck Black Dragon True Monarch’s Divine Soul!

"Ugh..."

Despite his profound Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, Black Dragon True Monarch wasn’t completely immune to the painful suppression. Caught off guard, he was struck by a blood-red stream that tunneled into his abdomen!

Immortal Slaying Crossbow Arrow!

"Thud!"

Black Dragon True Monarch’s abdomen burned. He urgently channeled mana to seal the wound, preventing the arrow from exploding.

At the same time, intense lightning tore through the air above Black Dragon True Monarch!

Ning Daoran’s body rotated rapidly, smashing a spear into Black Dragon True Monarch’s back!

"Boom~~~"

A deafening explosion shook the entire island!

Black Dragon True Monarch felt as if the bones in his back were nearly shattered. Under the relentless attacks, mana within him churned violently, and the arrow within his abdomen exploded, leaving flesh and guts flying everywhere!

"Whoosh!"

Sword light glittered!

Liangyi True Monarch commanded three swords in a triangular formation, their thousand-year sword mastery overwhelming Black Dragon True Monarch!

A flash of light consumed the moment–Black Dragon True Monarch’s protective Spirit Mastery scattered weakly, and his head rolled off his shoulders!

"Slash!"

Ning Daoran released a Forbidden Breaking Talisman to seal the opponent’s Nascent Soul, followed by a Golden Silk Sword strike that obliterated it, feeding its blood and energy to Little Qing.

"Brother!?"

From afar, Lin Xuyan exclaimed with immense joy.

"Senior Brother Ning!?"

Liu Wushuang, who was engaged in battle, also broke into a smile.

Meanwhile, the remaining two Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the North Sea were pale with fright. Black Dragon True Monarch, the strongest among them, had been slain in an instant through the collaboration of the unexpectedly powerful Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator and the old Taoist. Who was this young cultivator?!

"Brother!"

One of them, an old man in yellow robes, let out a mournful roar, abandoning his attack on Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang to charge at Ning Daoran with a great sword.

"Nephew Ning, be cautious!"

Liangyi True Monarch faced off against the three Demon Beasts, warning in a deep voice, "This man is Yellow Dragon True Monarch, Black Dragon True Monarch’s junior. His foundation is exceptionally profound."

"Don’t worry, uncle. Leave him to me."

Ning Daoran retreated quickly, and as Yellow Dragon True Monarch approached, he instantly deployed the Dragon Demon Domain!

"What!?"

Liangyi True Monarch, Lin Xuyan, and Liu Wushuang all showed expressions of disbelief.

The Dragon Demon Domain, a Martial Artist Domain spoken of only in legends, was now unfolding before them—a sight none could have ever anticipated.

Within the domain, Ning Daoran’s Realm ascended half a step, while Yellow Dragon True Monarch’s Realm was suppressed by half a step. Given Ning Daoran’s cultivation foundation, the outcome was almost predetermined.

Within thirty exchanges, Yellow Dragon True Monarch was reduced to defending, virtually unable to launch any attacks of his own.

"..."

Liangyi True Monarch was full of awe.

If Ning Daoran could single-handedly defeat Yellow Dragon True Monarch, it also meant he could potentially defeat Liangyi True Monarch himself...

Therefore, this Guest Elder, likely recruited from the outside by Junior Qi Xing True Monarch and Lin Xuyan, had strength so profound it was terrifying. And to think he was only Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Lin Xuyan marveled, "As expected of my brother..."

Liu Wushuang muttered softly, "Senior Brother Ning is incredible..."
