Chapter 668: Chapter 292: Ji Yuan Slays a Golden Core—For Real!
Ji Yuan was still not satisfied.
As he directed the Split Sky Flying Boat to ascend, he also summoned the Corpse Puppet Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.
At the same time, he activated all the Star Dust within the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array, causing it to attach to the Fire Python trapped by the Celestial Silkworm Silk.
Then… he stirred with a heart thought.
“Boom—”
The explosion was deafening, echoing up to the skies.
It even blasted away the remaining Star Spiral Cloud Barrier, right at the center of the explosion where the Fire Python was trapped by the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, unable to move.
In almost an instant, its body shivered.
The previously taut body instantly collapsed, unable to even float, crashing onto the sandy shore like the Frost Serpent earlier.
As a result, its injuries were far more severe than those of the Frost Serpent.
Most of its scales had been blown off, and those remaining were oozing blood.
Coincidentally, it fell right next to the Frost Serpent, its breath faint like a flickering candle.
In that moment, the Frost Serpent, which seemed to be on the verge of its limit, suddenly erupted with a powerful aura.
In a desperate counterattack, as if in its final moment of brightness.
The Frost Serpent’s body reared up and bit heavily at the seven-inch spot of the Fire Python.
Blue ice-colored air seeped from its mouth, freezing the Fire Python’s seven-inch while gradually absorbing a fiery red Tier Three Demon Pill.
“Poof—”
The Fire Python died, and the Fire Python Zhenren was once again struck by a backlash, unable to hold on, falling from the sky like a broken kite.
The Spirit Control Sect’s beast control method is quite different from the usual contract technique.
Ordinary spirit beast contracts are independent of each other.
However, the Spirit Control Sect’s technique is different.
Once they contract a spirit beast, they become a whole, like daily cultivation, the spirit beast can also nourish the cultivator.
It is said that many Golden Core Zhenrens of the Spirit Control Sect are nurtured this way.
They would contract Tier Three Spirit Beasts.
Ultimately, fully cultivating these Tier Three Spirit Beasts and, borrowing their advancement to Tier Three, nourish themselves to achieve Core Formation.
But the consequence is that if the spirit beast dies, the damage to them is also great.
Without a doubt, the current Fire Python Zhenren is in such a state.
Seeing him fall, Ji Yuan did not miss such a good opportunity.
“Go—”
He focused and activated the Celestial Poison Needle from the Storage Bag.
A green arc formed by the Silver Needle soared through the air, finally penetrating the Fire Python Zhenren’s forehead.
His body froze, devoid of life.
Ji Yuan thought, and the originally mountainous Spirit Platform Mountain of Mind and Heart transformed into a stream of light and was absorbed into his Dantian.
The other nine sword embryos followed suit.
Before his figure landed, still mid-air, he hid himself again in the reformed Star Spiral Cloud Barrier, then retrieved another Spiritual Artifact from his Storage Bag.
The Thousand Souls Banner.
With Ji Yuan’s incantations, the Soul Banner waved in his hand, and wisps of gray mist began to appear in the surrounding air.
Finally, the gray mist gathered before him, taking the form of the Fire Python Zhenren.
But compared to when alive, now it looked somewhat muddled.
Alive was Golden Core Stage, and upon death, turned into a Yin Soul with Foundation Establishment Stage strength, good stuff!
“Collect!”
With Ji Yuan waving the Thousand Souls Banner, the Fire Python Zhenren’s Yin Soul was gathered into it.
Along with the previously collected Celestial Silkworm Zhenren’s Yin Soul, Ji Yuan had acquired two Golden Core Zhenrens’ Yin Souls.
It was at this moment that the Thousand Souls Banner, which had just absorbed the Golden Core Zhenren’s Yin Soul, erupted with a strong surge of Yin Energy.
’Is this… an upgrade?!’
The Thousand Souls Banner itself is a growth-type Spiritual Artifact, and having been nurtured in the Chaotic Burial Mound, it could finally upgrade now!
Previously a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, now upon upgrade, it steps into the realm of Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
’This way, my Demon Dao identity possesses both the Five Poison Snake Staff and Thousand Souls Banner as Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, whereas my Righteous Dao identity doesn’t have the same… But with Magical Treasures, it’s barely acceptable.’
With thoughts swirling, Ji Yuan watched the Thousand Souls Banner continuously exhaling and inhaling Yin Energy, a feeling inevitably arose within him.
’Is this Thousand Souls Banner a living thing? It looks just like it’s breathing.’
With prior experience handling the Yin Ghost Banner, Ji Yuan took a separate Storage Bag to store the Thousand Souls Banner.
Only then did he land on the ground.
The Fire Python Zhenren lay on the sandy ground, eyes wide, his forehead pinned to the sand by a slender Silver Needle emitting green light.
Like a coffin nail sealing the coffin.
Ji Yuan casually collected the Celestial Poison Needle, then removed a heavy Storage Bag from the Fire Python Zhenren’s waist.
It seemed to contain quite a few treasures.
The Lifebound Magical Treasure in hand was good, Ji Yuan collected everything, finally looked at the Fire Python Zhenren’s body… Such a fine Immortal Talent, shouldn’t be wasted.
Once bought into the Chaotic Burial Mound, when it resurrects again, I’ll have two Golden Core Stage Corpse Puppets.
Moreover, this time Ji Yuan deliberately refrained from using any damage bodily techniques for the integrity of the body.
Otherwise, in his usual manner, upon the Fire Python Zhenren’s death, he would surely suppress it with Spirit Platform Mountain of Mind and Heart, preferably crushing the intestines out, just to ensure certainty.
