Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 455: Hunting the Demon King

The Fake Pill Demon King Electric Ray Demon Fish has gained sentience.

However, the Electric Ray Demon Fish is naturally irritable.

Before it now is a delicious prey it struggled to get.

How could it be willing to concede it to the Cyan Flood Dragon? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

With just a glance, it recognized that the Cyan Flood Dragon wasn’t a true demon beast but a form taken by a cultivator.

"Human, you dare come before me seeking death!"

The Electric Ray Demon Fish floated on the water surface, like a small mountain, exuding powerful demon power.

Shen Xuan was startled.

The Fake Pill Demon King is indeed extraordinary.

It actually understands divine soul communication.

"You slaughter my Human Race cultivators, how can I tolerate you!"

Shen Xuan declared with righteous indignation, transmitting his divine thought in return.

"Bah! Humans are indeed hypocritical! You’ve been here for a while, why didn’t you show up earlier to stop me!"

"Huh, you know?"

This time, Shen Xuan was truly surprised.

He thought the Electric Ray Demon Fish was unaware.

But then he realized.

Demon beast senses are sharp, far surpassing those of humans.

Rumor has it that the Electric Ray Demon Fish can sense bioelectric fields to locate prey.

After transforming into a flood dragon dharma aspect, his body was too large.

As a Fake Pill Demon King, it was normal for the Electric Ray Demon Fish to sense him.

At this moment, the Electric Ray Demon Fish was full of rage.

Its pair of small eyes at the center of its back flashed with strange light, and its brown demon body suddenly turned azure blue.

On the sides of its head’s thorax, millions of hexagonal prism-shaped electric plate muscles simultaneously emitted azure blue electric light.

In the next instant.

A dozen thunderbolts as thick as barrels crackled, forming an electric grid, enveloping Shen Xuan’s transformed Cyan Flood Dragon.

"Truly ruthless!"

Such a setup, even a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, cannot resist and can only perish.

Shen Xuan transformed.

From the flood dragon dharma aspect, back to human form.

"An insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivator dares have designs on me, seeking death!"

The Electric Ray Demon Fish sensed Shen Xuan’s realm cultivation and was furious.

Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

If it were close combat, of course, he would choose the flood dragon dharma aspect with stronger combat power.

However, facing the Electrically adept Electric Ray Demon Fish.

The Absolute Thunder Dao Body makes him fearless.

Moreover, Shen Xuan’s divine sense lightly moved.

The finely crafted thunder-resistant treasure robe was instantly donned, protecting his body tightly.

It was specifically crafted by Shen Xuan to counter Thunder Cultivators.

Even Nine Heavens Divine Thunder can be defended against.

No matter how powerful the Electric Ray Demon Fish’s electricity, it cannot compare to Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Shen Xuan stood unmoved.

A dozen thunderbolts as thick as barrels struck his body without fail.

Azure electric arcs flickered continuously on the thunder-resistant treasure robe.

However, hiding inside the thunder-resistant treasure robe, Shen Xuan smiled faintly.

His hand swiftly formed a spell.

In an instant.

A purple-golden light appeared suddenly, manifesting in front of Shen Xuan.

Under Shen Xuan’s spiritual power activation.

A few moments later.

The purple-golden light dispersed, revealing a fist-sized treasure seal.

The treasure seal’s surface patterns evolved into nine fully golden divine dragons.

It was precisely Shen Xuan’s nurtured for years spiritual artifact spirit embryo Purple-Gold True Water Seal.

Now, it carries three parts of spiritual artifact power.

Shen Xuan pointed towards the Electric Ray Demon Fish.

"Moo!"

The nine divine dragons emitted a dragon roar akin to a grumble from an old cow, exuding a violent and majestic aura, spraying divine water, encircling the Purple-Gold Seal.

In just one moment.

The purple-golden light of the seal intensified, swelling to the size of a millstone under the nourishing divine water from the divine dragons.

"Go fast!"

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi were swept away.

The Purple-Gold True Water Seal transformed into a golden light, zooming atop the Electric Ray Demon Fish’s head, slamming down forcefully.

As Shen Xuan unleashed the Purple-Gold True Water Seal.

The Electric Ray Demon Fish’s eyes darted around, intending to escape.

Instinctively, it felt the terrifying aura from the Purple-Gold True Water Seal was sufficient to destroy it.

Facing the full power strike of this Purple-Gold True Water Seal.

The Electric Ray Demon Fish dared not take it head-on, directly fleeing into the ocean water.

"Trying to run away?"

Shen Xuan swiftly enacted a spell.

[Water Repellent]!

Around the Electric Ray Demon Fish, ocean water suddenly surged away, preventing it from using water escape.

Seeing it couldn’t use water spiritual power from the ocean, the Electric Ray Demon Fish roared in anger, expanded its demon body, its demon power instantly permeating, enveloping its entire body.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out.

Space trembled for a moment.

A deep pit was smashed into the Electric Ray Demon Fish’s head, with thin threads of blood seeping out, and the demon power wrapping its body dimmed.

This hit was truly painful, taking half its life.

The Electric Ray Demon Fish leveraged the power of the Purple-Gold True Water Seal to escape rapidly.

However, Shen Xuan wouldn’t let it go.

This demon beast, only capable of discharging electricity, was thoroughly restrained by him.

Even as a Fake Pill Demon King, it had no power to retaliate.

"Sword, come!"

The Ice Soul Divine Sword materialized before Shen Xuan.

Spiritual power was infused with madness inside.

Shen Xuan quickly enacted spells.

First, he enhanced physical strength.

[Infinite Strength], [Critical Strike].

Then, he cast the Great Success Level [Immortal-Slaying Water Technique Qi].

The Ice Soul Divine Sword transformed into a water spirit sword qi, shooting at the Electric Ray Demon Fish.

With just one strike.

It pierced the Electric Ray Demon Fish’s heart.

The overwhelming waves suddenly all fell.

The powerful demon power dissipated instantly.

Pain was evident in the Electric Ray Demon Fish’s small eyes.

It seemed incredulous.

To have fallen at the hands of a Foundation Establishment Realm Human Race cultivator.

Shen Xuan stood before the Electric Ray Demon Fish.

"Condense!"

The Ice Soul Divine Sword emitted waves of profound ice cold qi.

A few moments later, the massive body of the Electric Ray Demon Fish was frozen into an iceberg.

Shen Xuan took out an extra-large beast bag, drawing its demon body into it.

"Thankfully, I had prepared in advance."

Shen Xuan exhaled a breath of relief.

At this moment, he sweeped his Divine Sense across the sea surface.

Over a dozen floating corpses drifted on the sea.

Shen Xuan did not stand on ceremony.

Immediately, he collected all the Storage Pouches and Magical Artifacts from these people.

As for the remains, considering there was no resentment or enmity, he allowed them to be buried at sea.

"Save me!"

The last floating corpse unexpectedly was not dead, waking up faintly.

It was the strongest among them, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Shen Xuan glanced at the Magic Robe on him.

"True Intent Sect?"

"Yes! Fellow Daoist, I am Zhao Mingcheng, direct disciple of the True Intent Sect’s Golden Core Inheritor!"

Zhao Mingcheng pleaded bitterly.

"Save me! I will surely repay you generously!"

Shen Xuan shook his head, showing a helpless expression.

In fact, if Shen Xuan cast spells, with the healing effect of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, combined with the Nine Revolutions Life Extension Pill in his Storage Pouch, he could still save Zhao Mingcheng’s life.

However, it was unnecessary.

Shen Xuan did not know him.

If he saved him, he would also have to find a way to handle the aftermath.

How could it be that letting him fall was more straightforward and efficient?

Seeing Shen Xuan unwilling to save him.

Zhao Mingcheng looked at Shen Xuan with hateful eyes.

"You were here from the start, right!"

"You would rather watch us all die at the hands of Demon Beasts than help us!"

"You are an Evil Cultivator!"

Zhao Mingcheng used his last strength to curse a few words, then died.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

He always knew that being a good person was not worthwhile.

Shen Xuan restrained his aura.

Soon, the spiritual fish and demon shrimp that smelled the scent nearby swarmed over.

They began tearing and devouring these cultivators’ bodies.

Shen Xuan concealed his presence.

Until all the cultivators’ bodies were completely devoured by the Water Demons.

Only then did he transform into a Flood Dragon and return to Chunfeng Island from the seabed.

...

Inside the Practice Room, Shen Xuan sat cross-legged.

On the Jade Table before him lay a Demon Core.

It was the Demon Core of the big-headed wolf fish just killed.

Although it was a Tier Two Water Demon, the violent nature of the big-headed wolf fish made its Demon Core unsuitable for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

The Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus completely refined and absorbed the Fake Pill.

As a result, Shen Xuan’s Spiritual Power increased significantly.

Earlier than expected by three years, he broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Whether it’s Inner Cores or Demon Cores, they are concentrated essences of Spiritual Qi.

Since he can refine Inner Cores and Essence Blood, he can refine Demon Cores as well.

Shen Xuan pondered secretly.

Today, he adjusted his physical state specifically to try refining Demon Cores.

If it works.

Absorbing the Spiritual Power of Demon Cores surely beats consuming Demon Beast Meat.

Shen Xuan silently operated his energy.

In the Dantian, the Nine-Colored Treasure Lotus slowly blossomed.

Shen Xuan activated the Mysterious Jade Talisman, releasing golden light in the sea of consciousness, enveloping the big-headed wolf fish Demon Core.

In his sight.

The Demon Core of the big-headed wolf fish gradually dissolved and shrunk.

Golden characters appeared on the Mysterious Jade Talisman.

[Stealable Talent: Copper Head and Iron Body, A Lifetime Together]

Shen Xuan paused.

He had previously stolen the bloodline talent of the big-headed wolf fish.

Another one was [Sharp Teeth and Fangs].

But it was now gone.

It should be that the [Sharp Teeth and Fangs] of the big-headed wolf fish were inferior to his current level.

"So, the function of Demon Cores is quite similar to that of Essence Blood, actually?"

Shen Xuan chose [Copper Head and Iron Body].

The golden characters on the Mysterious Jade Talisman flickered and transformed.

[Talent: Copper Head and Iron Body (16/100)]

[Dao Rhyme: 1188]

[Copper Head and Iron Body] is similar to [Iron Bone].

The focus of enhancement should be the head.

Dao Rhyme increased by three hundred points.

At this moment, the Mysterious Jade Talisman emitted a pure essence of Spiritual Power, flowing directly into Shen Xuan’s Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

"This is the refined Spiritual Power from the Demon Core?"

The Dao Foundation Spirit Sea increased by a trace of Spiritual Power.

On the Jade Table, the big-headed wolf fish Demon Core had shrunk by one-tenth.

"So, the function of Demon Cores is similar to Essence Blood and adds to Spiritual Power absorption!"

Shen Xuan reflected in his heart.

Indeed.

Demon Cores and Demon Pills have always been the most valuable parts of a Demon Beast.

They are far more precious than Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Many Spirit Pills use Demon Cores and Demon Pills as their main materials.

Even the Foundation Establishment Pill is no exception.

"So, I can achieve self-sufficiency in resources. Other than the Tier-Breaking Spirit Pill Golden Core, I don’t need anything else for now!"

"Considering this, I can accelerate my cultivation progress, already surpassing the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Core Formation Seed!"

Shen Xuan estimated that from the seventh level of Foundation Establishment to the eighth level, it would not take more than ten years.

Relative to his Fake Pill True Master equivalent lifespan, there’s no need for anxiety.

"Slowly refining Essence Blood and Demon Cores, accumulating Dao Rhyme, expanding the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea."

Shen Xuan planned to purify and refine the Spiritual Power as much as possible while increasing the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea’s capacity.

Unstable Spiritual Power foundation would affect the future quality of Core Formation.

Now, with a long lifespan, he can continue purifying Spiritual Power, strengthening the Dao Foundation, and cultivating it to its capacity and solidity limits.

No need for haste.

Anyway, he is also a Tier Three Cultivator now.

Though considered the least reputable among Body Refining Masters.

But Tier Three is still Tier Three.

He could easily defeat those in the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even in the Fake Pill Realm.

After completing his routine cultivation, Shen Xuan took out the Intelligence Jade Scroll to examine it.

This was sent by the Sea Dragon Girl through someone.

"The Five Sects of Yan Country are beginning to recruit personnel, which means war between Yan and Song is on the verge of breaking out?"

Seeing the latest intelligence, Shen Xuan fell into contemplation.

The expansion of war between Yan and Song countries was not good news for him.

This also meant that True Masters from both countries would venture out, appearing on the war front.

Not only Fake Pill True Masters.

True Pill True Masters, Golden Core True Masters, would also appear.

"Either stay inside the Star Sea, never going out."

"Or hurry to the Bai Family Stronghold and the Song-Liang border market before the war fully erupts."

Shen Xuan was lost in thought.
