Chapter 221: The Yuan Ying of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty is Devoured! The Final Battle with the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile!
Qin Wang noticed the third piece of information, which was about the Silver Turtle Bug.
It turned out to be ranked 49th on the Ancient Rare Insect List!
More importantly, it could evolve and get stronger! If it continued to grow, it would undoubtedly become a means to defeat enemies in the future.
Just as he had the Five Elements Divine Light Jar that could accelerate the cultivation of spirit insects, why not give it a try?
Qin Wang placed the Silver Turtle Bug into the Five Elements Divine Light Jar and then tossed in some useless ordinary magic artifacts.
These artifacts were things he had found in the storage bags of numerous tribulation cultivators. They were of no use and took up space when piled together. Now, using them to feed the Silver Turtle Bug was putting them to good use.
Qin Wang noticed that after the Silver Turtle Bug devoured those artifacts, it successfully split into ten young Silver Turtle Bugs.
If this continued, a swarm of Silver Turtle Bugs could be cultivated over time.
When that time came, the scene of the swarm attacking and devouring everything would be thrilling just to imagine.
Qin Wang continued to review the other pieces of information.
It had to be said that Wanyan Meng’s curse was indeed formidable.
Even though Chu Yunxiao traded away his chance for transformation, he still met a bad end, being robbed by passing transformation stage experts.
The Tianchu Immortal Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and Qin Wang wondered if he might have a chance to take advantage of it.
After calculating, Qin Wang quickly made a decision.
The Yuan Ying experts of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty would be occupied with the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile, giving him a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
A dynasty with a thousand-year heritage would surely have treasures.
If Heaven offers, one should not refuse!
Finally, Qin Wang focused on the ninth piece of information.
He took out eight ancient sheepskin scrolls and pieced them together.
Although they were still largely incomplete, and the exact location of the Ancient Pill King's Sect's treasure trove could not be confirmed, the displayed terrain suggested it was in Zhongzhou.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Wang decided to set this matter aside for now.
Zhongzhou was a place of outstanding people and numerous immortal dynasties. It was said that foundation establishment cultivators were everywhere, and Golden Core cultivators were as common as dogs. With his current mid-foundation establishment cultivation, going to Zhongzhou would be akin to sending himself to his death.
It was better to visit the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty first.
Qin Wang instructed Zhang Fujiang, Yan Cangwu, and Jiang Haotian to prepare, and then they headed to the Tianchu Imperial City.
...
Tianchu Imperial City
The ground suddenly trembled, and people were bewildered.
“What’s happening?”
“Is it an earthquake?”
“Why do I have an ominous feeling?”
“What’s there to fear? This is the Imperial City of our Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, with the Tianchu Ancestor suppressing it. We’ll naturally be safe.”
People discussed among themselves, curious and surprised but not panicked.
In their view, the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had stood for a thousand years and would surely stand for ages.
Besides, if the sky were to fall, the tall ones would hold it up. What was there to fear?
However, they did not know that another Yuan Ying of the Chu family had been devoured by the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile.
In the Imperial Palace
Chu Yunxiao was in closed-door cultivation.
Having had the Heavenly Longevity Holy Fruit stolen made him feel increasingly pressed for time.
He had to break through to the transformation stage within these two hundred years; otherwise, Tianchu would perish, and so would the Chu family.
At this critical moment of his cultivation, he had instructed not to be disturbed unless it was a matter of life and death.
A transmission talisman beside him suddenly exploded.
Bang!
A loud noise interrupted Chu Yunxiao’s cultivation.
Pfft!
Chu Yunxiao spat out a mouthful of blood, causing the power he had painstakingly gathered to collapse instantly. The rampant power within his body caused his cultivation to not only regress.
Although this minor injury was not fatal, it would take him half a month of cultivation to recover.
For Chu Yunxiao, who was pressed for time, this was a severe blow.
Infuriated, Chu Yunxiao realized something significant must have happened; otherwise, who would dare to disturb his cultivation at such a time?
“Ancestor, something terrible has happened! Eighth Brother has been devoured by the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile!”
Chu Wuyuan’s panicked voice came from the shattered transmission talisman.
Chu Yunxiao was stunned.
Chu Yuanhai was dead? And devoured by the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile?
Chu Yunxiao rushed out of the secret chamber without further thought and found Chu Wuyuan.
“What happened exactly?”
Chu Yunxiao glared at Chu Wuyuan.
In these troubled times for the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, every Yuan Ying expert was a crucial combat force.
With one fewer Yuan Ying expert, how could the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty cope in these perilous times?
“Ancestor… Eighth Brother was recuperating in the secret chamber when the Blood Crocodile suddenly burst out of the ground and swallowed him whole. By the time I arrived… Eighth Brother was already gone.”
Facing Chu Yunxiao’s formidable pressure, Chu Wuyuan spoke tremblingly.
“Damn it!”
Chu Yunxiao was furious.
He hadn’t expected the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile to be so audacious.
It had previously killed a Yuan Ying expert of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, and now it had dared to invade the palace and devour Chu Yuanhai.
With two Yuan Ying experts having fallen to the Blood Crocodile, he should have killed it earlier to prevent this.
He couldn’t let this continue.
Chu Yunxiao knew that if the Blood Crocodile’s rampage continued, the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty would inevitably fall apart.
“Send out the order to set a trap and kill the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile at all costs.”
Chu Yunxiao commanded coldly.
“Yes, Ancestor.”
Chu Wuyuan immediately accepted the order.
With the Ancestor leading, he believed exterminating the Blood Crocodile would be a simple task.
...
Tianchu Imperial City
The city was peaceful. People were unaware of the significant events within the Tianchu Dynasty or the imminent battle in the Imperial City.
After arriving in the Tianchu Imperial City, Qin Wang and his group found a place to settle.
Then, Qin Wang sent Zhang Fujiang and the others to gather information while he continued his cultivation.
With various heavenly materials and earthly treasures in hand, he needed to absorb and convert them into strength quickly.
Qin Wang knew that with his current strength, he could easily defeat false core cultivators and even win against Golden Core cultivators if he used all his cards.
However, facing a Yuan Ying expert, he would be killed within a single round.
Ultimately, his cultivation level was too low.
Early Morning
Qin Wang opened the intelligence panel.
[Daily Intelligence Refresh!]
[Today's Intelligence!]
[1: Your servant puppet gathered intelligence that the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile devoured Chu Yuanhai, a Yuan Ying expert of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, and has gone into hiding, entering a deep sleep.]
[2: Your servant puppet gathered intelligence that Chu Yunxiao, the Ancestor of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty, was furious upon learning of Chu Yuanhai’s death and decided to set a trap to kill the Ten-Thousand-Foot Blood Crocodile at all costs. This battle will commence in three days, resulting in mutual damage. The Blood Crocodile will be severely injured and go into deep sleep. Chu Yunxiao will flee to Zhongzhou, and the remaining Tianchu Yuan Ying experts will perish in the battle, leading to the collapse of the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty.]
