Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Chapter 388 Heavenly Wind True Monarch

This process happens in the blink of an eye.

Attacked by the Nightmare Moth's consciousness, Lan Shenwei froze, his mind in disarray.

Lin Changsheng would not miss such an opportunity. The Blood God Seal emitted a powerful aura, shattering the three enormous sharks in succession. It transformed into a streak of blood-red light that streaked across the sky and pressed down on the Lan Shen Guard!

"Lan Shenwei, be careful!"

Seeing her companion in danger, the alien girl Jiao Li looked panicked and lost, and subconsciously called out to her.

Lan Shenwei was a genius of the merfolk in her sea area. She advanced to the fourth level in less than three hundred years of cultivation and a demon infant was born in her body.

They are better at combat and can unleash combat power close to the peak of the early stage of the fourth tier in water.

Even among human cultivators, they are extremely rare, possessing immense potential.

For this reason, the Merfolk in the sea appointed Lan Shenwei to be responsible for her safety during her time in Jiuzezhou.

Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped into human territory, they would encounter such a troublesome human cultivator!

Unfortunately, she was not good at fighting. Although she had reached the early stage of the third rank, she had almost never participated in battles herself. Apart from possessing some magical artifacts with special effects, she was no match for sea creatures of the same rank. Moreover, the battle now involved the fourth rank, which made it even more impossible for her to intervene.

'boom! ’

Just moments before, Lan Shenwei was somewhat sluggish, but suddenly a powerful azure demonic energy erupted from his body, and at the critical moment, he finally managed to break free from the influence of the Nightmare Moth.

As he gazed upon the Blood God Seal so close at hand, he seemed to sense the fierce, bloody wind contained within it. Even with his fourth-order demon king body, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

In haste, he activated the 'trident' magic weapon in front of him to bombard the enemy.

The next moment, a huge 'boom' was heard.

The crimson aura and the azure luster intertwined, creating a brilliant light that spread for hundreds of feet.

A magical trident-shaped weapon, its surface shimmering with light, flew out from the center of the explosion and plunged into the desert thousands of feet away, sinking into the yellow sand.

Immediately following, a tall figure with a human head and a fish body was also sent flying backward by the collision of the enormous energy, landing in the lake below with a 'plop' like a cannonball.

In contrast, Lin Changsheng, who was not far away, remained calm and unchanged.

"You actually practice such a forbidden secret technique that damages your own life force!"

Before long, the mermaid, who was over three zhang tall and had obvious external injuries all over his body, slowly rose from the water, surrounded by a soft mist. However, his gaze toward Lin Changsheng was somewhat wary.

This forbidden secret technique is against the natural order. Although it can exert great power, it requires the practitioner to pay a greater price.

In the past, he had seen some strange and unusual secret techniques. He himself had even mastered a secret technique of the Merfolk. Back when he was at the third rank, he had used this secret technique to unleash the power of a near fourth rank and kill invading foreign races.

However, this was the first time Lan Shenwei had ever seen a secret technique that could unleash the true power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator, even at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, it can be inferred that such a secret technique that truly transcends class will likely come at an even greater cost.

"Hehe, it's just a minor injury. If we can severely injure or capture a fourth-tier sea monster merman, we might be able to go to the Blood Demon Palace and exchange it for a generous reward, which would be enough to make up for it."

Lin Changsheng smiled calmly.

In fact, according to the memories of the Reincarnation Saint King, an ordinary Golden Core cultivator can only unleash the power of the 'Blood God Seal' at the 'quasi-fourth rank' level, which is already the limit. Overall, it may reduce one's lifespan by one or two decades, depending on the individual.

However, Lin Changsheng's situation is special. His vitality far surpasses that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators, and even early Nascent Soul cultivators cannot compare to him.

Therefore, it can actually bring out the greater effects of the 'Blood God Seal'.

As for shortening his lifespan, it didn't have much of an impact on Lin Changsheng.

"With just you, a fourth-level body refiner, and a fourth-level butterfly demon who is not good at head-on combat, even without the advantage of the water area, if I were to fight to the death, I could at least kill one of you."

Lan Shenwei's expression changed repeatedly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, but he had no intention of continuing to attack.

One is a human cultivator with fourth-order body refinement, plus a secret technique that can unleash the full power of the Nascent Soul stage, threatening a Nascent Soul early-stage True Monarch who is close to normal.

A fourth-tier butterfly demon assisted him from the side, constantly harassing him with its divine sense, which had a great impact on him when he was fighting two opponents at once.

In addition, this place is far from the water, and if the other party gets entangled, the huge commotion is very likely to attract other human Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Most importantly, Jiao Li has a special identity. Although she is only at the third level, her importance is no less than that of the fourth-level demon king in the clan, and she cannot be lost.

Before long, the three Nascent Soul level auras began to entangle and fight.

Above the desert, a mermaid with a human head and a fish body held a huge trident-shaped magical weapon, and a massive amount of water flowed around him for hundreds of feet.

Under the control of the Lan Shen Guardian, they transformed into countless sea beasts, roaming freely and filling the sky.

Lin Changsheng unleashed his fourth-tier Qi and Blood power, wielding his nine-toothed rake and leaving behind a trail of afterimages. With a mere gesture, he could shatter several illusory sea beasts.

The Nightmare Moth flapped its wings, and invisible waves of energy spread out, instantly shattering a large number of water-transformed sea beasts.

It appears that Lan Shenwei is handling the two opponents with ease and has a slight advantage.

However, being located in a desert where water-attribute spiritual energy is scarce, he relied heavily on his own demonic power to unleash such a powerful divine ability, which consumed a great deal of energy.

In contrast, Lin Changsheng and Nightmare Moth were at ease and fearless.

Dozens of miles away, a plump man with a large head and big ears, dressed in a wide yellow robe, traversed the desert sky at an extremely fast speed, enveloped by a gentle breeze.

"Strange, this desert has a harsh climate and terrible conditions, how could there be three Nascent Soul level auras erupting here?"

"A fourth-order early-stage demon king, a human cultivator with a strange aura, and seemingly a hint of a foreign sea monster—these three auras intertwined are truly rare."

"However, since this is my 'Wind Whisper Pavilion' territory, whoever has a conflict with the alien race, I, True Lord Heavenly Wind, will lend a hand."

As he spoke, the fat and chubby True Monarch Tianfeng, whose movements were almost hindered, was not affected in terms of speed. In fact, he was slightly faster than an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

……

Above the desert, the fierce battle continues.

Lan Shenwei and Lin Changsheng suddenly stopped fighting at the same time and looked in a certain direction.

The sudden appearance of this Nascent Soul level aura, which made no attempt to conceal itself, was naturally detected by them.

"This is bad! The commotion has alerted the human Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Lan Shenwei's expression was solemn.

In the eyes of human cultivators, the sea race is an alien species. Even cultivators from different factions will unite against an alien race.

‘Wow! ’

As he pondered this in his heart, azure demonic power emanated from his body, and his enormous body transformed into a water stain, dissolving into the lake water beneath him.

In an instant, the Lan Shen Guard, who used water escape techniques, appeared beside Jiao Li with a semi-transparent figure, about to envelop her as well.

Suddenly, countless fine vines stretched out, binding Jiao Li before Lan Shenwei could reach her and dragging her to Lin Changsheng's side.

Now, the alien girl's face showed fear, and she let out a piercing scream. Even though her whole body was tightly bound by tough vines, she still showed her sharp teeth and a fierce look, and warned Lin Changsheng with a "Has", accompanied by a series of "Ura" "Ura" in unfamiliar language.

Lin Changsheng, however, was quite interested and observed the foreign girl up close.

He had previously discovered that Lan Shenwei, a fourth-tier demon king, valued this alien girl highly.

This kind of attention doesn't seem like the protectiveness one shows towards younger members of the clan.

This piqued Lin Changsheng's curiosity, so he paid extra attention to the alien girl during the battle.

As expected, after the human Nascent Soul cultivator intervened, the Lan Shen Guard immediately planned to take the woman away.

Therefore, he immediately took action and intercepted the woman beforehand.
