Chapter 339: Chapter 154: “The Expert of the Blade Will Surely Perish by the Sword.”_4
Logically speaking, he was a Nascent Soul at the first level of Cultivation, wasn’t it easy for a Nascent Soul to crush a Golden Core at the peak of Great Perfection?
Moreover…
How could his Nascent Soul be shattered by a Golden Core?
A Nascent Soul completely dominates a Golden Core, unless the Golden Core’s grade is high enough, otherwise, it’s simply impossible to shatter his Nascent Soul across a Great Realm.
But… that’s it!
His true body had already arrived, and unlike the Nascent Soul, which couldn’t utilize Spiritual Energy, no matter how talented the Golden Core was, it was still an existence crushed by the Nascent Soul. As long as he could stuff this Nascent Soul pill back into his body, although he would lose some power, it would at least not decline too much!
If a Nascent Soul cultivator experiences some accidents while their Nascent Soul is in Divine Travel, and the Nascent Soul can’t return…
Then…
They’re basically ruined.
The person won’t die, and a Nascent Soul cultivator can live without their Nascent Soul, but their Cultivation can no longer advance, and their strength will also significantly diminish.
Just like now—
Without his Nascent Soul, although he was at the level of a Nascent Soul, his strength had significantly decreased compared to normal, but it was enough to crush a Golden Core!
“Die!”
In a fleeting moment of thought, the Nascent Soul elder of Yuan Sect, who stood in midair, emitted anger-fueled Spiritual Energy continuously. Like actual liquids, Spiritual Liquid instantly enveloped the entire sky, and then each drop turned into icy spikes.
In the blink of an eye.
Tens of thousands of ice spikes formed in the space.
And they shot towards Chen Qiu on the deck of the Flying Boat below!
Each of these ice spikes could severely injure or even kill an ordinary Late-Stage Golden Core. The overwhelming power of a Nascent Soul over a Golden Core was extremely exaggerated; this was not something that talent could compensate for. Since ancient times, hearing of an Early-Stage Golden Core killing a Late-Stage Golden Core now and then was possible.
But a Late-Stage Golden Core killing an Early-Stage Nascent Soul was something that was almost never heard of.
…
“Hmm?”
Chen Qiu, who had just picked up the Nascent Soul pill and was ready to leave, suddenly looked up and felt the tens of thousands of ice spikes coming at him from above, and frowned.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion.
Why did he feel… that these ice spikes were somewhat weak?
The threat they posed wasn’t even as good as that Sword Cultivation Puppet from Da Xia?
It gave him the feeling… that he could actually kill this Nascent Soul.
Chen Qiu, originally ready to leave, just recalled Fat Long into his small world and then decided to try it out. Alone on the deck, he withstood the attack using the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella.
“BOOM!!!”
Tens of thousands of ice spikes exploded on the deck, and the originally exquisite Flying Boat instantly became riddled with holes and severely damaged, the splattered ice debris formed a thick fog in the air.
And then—
From the center of the dense fog, rich and majestic Spiritual Energy burst out from Chen Qiu’s body, dispersing the fog, and revealed Chen Qiu standing unscathed in his original spot.
In the sky.
Clouds had gathered, and a storm brewed.
Chen Qiu, standing on the deck with his umbrella tilted backward, looked up at the Nascent Soul in the sky carrying a terrifying presence and suddenly chuckled, “Senior, you seem a lot weaker than I thought.”
“You…”
“Even feel less imposing than a puppet.”
The next moment!
A Thunder Ball, faintly visible with hundreds of thousands of miniature Thunder Dragons wrapped within, unexpectedly appeared in mid-air and shot towards the Nascent Soul that stood suspended!
The Yuan Sect Elder, who reacted instantaneously, activated his Protective Treasure in a blink of an eye.
Golden Light enshrouded him.
When the Thunder Ball struck the Golden Light.
“BOOM!!!”
The deafening explosion echoed between heaven and earth; amidst the Storm, countless Thunder Dragons exploded violently in mid-air, instantly illuminating the whole world with a brilliance that sent numerous purple-blue electric arcs flickering through the sky.
Immediately following that!
A body, blackened by the electricity, fell straight down from the sky and crashed heavily onto the deck.
…
The Yuan Sect Elder, half-dead from the blast, looked extremely wretched at this moment, his flesh and clothes completely charred, emitting wafts of white smoke and the smell of cooked meat; even his eyeballs were roasted, dangling to one side.
Half of his nose was missing too.
His mouth was utterly split open, revealing all his teeth on the outside, as fresh blood slowly trickled down from the wound.
The Nascent Soul Elder of Yuan Sect, on the verge of death, whispered in a hoarse and trembling voice like the faint buzz of a mosquito, “Self… self-destruct… Nascent Soul…”
“Self… self-destruct…”
“Stop trying to self-destruct.”
Chen Qiu, toying with a Grade Two Nascent Soul Pill in his hand and holding up the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella amid the raging storm, squatted next to the Nascent Soul Elder of Yuan Sect and said softly, “You’re confused, old man. Have you forgotten that your Nascent Soul is long gone?”
“Where’s the elder token? I’ll help you crush it so that you can send a distress signal to the sect; they might come to take revenge for you or something.”
“It would be a bother if you died later, and I couldn’t open your Storage Ring.”
Perhaps reminded by Chen Qiu, the seemingly doomed Yuan Sect Elder mustered a final breath from somewhere and took an elder token from his Storage Ring, trying to crush it.
However, his injuries were too severe.
The elder token, which could usually be crushed with a bit of effort, now remained intact under his grip, in his utterly depleted state of Spiritual Energy.
“Sigh.”
Chen Qiu sighed, took the elder token, and immediately crushed it before looking down at the Nascent Soul on the deck, “There, that’s done. You know, I’m really wondering why you’re this weak; honestly, I’m not trying to mock you.”
“This was a good Flying Boat that you’ve now turned into a mess of holes; the repair costs are enormous, it’s such a headache.”
It truly puzzled him.
Why was this Yuan Sect Elder so weak? Although he was only at the first layer of Nascent Soul, which is the weakest amongst them, he was still a Nascent Soul. How come he couldn’t even compare to that Sword Cultivation Puppet from Da Xia?
The attack strength of that Puppet from Da Xia was so formidable that he had to hide in the small world to evade it; even if he took the blows with his Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, he would still be blasted dozens of feet away.
And his whole body would be in severe pain, as if hit by a heavy truck, likely sustaining some internal injuries.
But the attack from this Yuan Sect Elder? He simply took it with his Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, let alone internal injuries, there was barely any pain in his body. He had an entry that was supposed to Teleport him if he was injured.
And since he hadn’t moved an inch on the deck just now, it meant… he hadn’t been hurt at all.
He was truly weak.
Not even on the same level as that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivation Puppet, whether in terms of attack strength or defense.
He had spent over an hour grinding away at that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivation Puppet before completely demolishing it, yet with just one Thunder Summoning Technique, this elder from Yuan Sect was already half-dead.
Even though the factor of having his Nascent Soul seized had greatly reduced his power.
He still felt that the strength of that Sword Cultivation Puppet was evidently not that of an ordinary Nascent Soul; damn it… he felt like he had been deceived, he had always assumed that all Nascent Souls had at least the strength of that Sword Cultivation Puppet.
Looking at it now.
That Sword Cultivation Puppet must have had the strength of a Mid-Nascent Soul stage.
