Chapter 231: Four Nascent Souls! Devouring Spiritual Power, Capturing Souls! The Terrifying Soul Gathering Bowl!
Heavenly Chu Imperial City.
The people watched the gradually departing Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile, exclaiming in awe.
"No wonder the Heavenly Chu was destroyed; such a monster is truly terrifying."
"However, such a beast will inevitably attract the attention of stronger beings. When a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster comes to slay this beast and take its valuable parts, Qin Tiedan will naturally become a prisoner."
"That's right."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In their view, when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.
Since "Qin Tiedan" controls such a powerful beast, stronger beings will naturally target him.
...
Azure Sky Pine Forest.
This place had vast stretches of pine forests, forming a sea.
Various strange insects and beasts inhabited the forest, making even Golden Core cultivators reluctant to venture in.
But for Kong Daoxing, Guo Longjie, Yu Zhaochang, and You Xingchen, it was the perfect hiding place.
They knew that the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile and Chu Yunxiao were mortal enemies. With the mysterious "Qin Tiedan" lurking like a viper, Chu Yunxiao had no chance of survival unless he fled to the Central Continent.
With Chu Yunxiao and Chu Wuyue gone, the Heavenly Chu Immortal Dynasty was left vacant.
The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty would seize part of the territory.
But!
There would still be some remaining.
This was what Kong Daoxing, Guo Longjie, Yu Zhaochang, and You Xingchen were after.
They could establish a new dynasty, acting as a mediator between the Great Qi and Great Yan Immortal Dynasties, preventing a life-or-death struggle.
After all, neither side had the absolute power to swallow the other, so a middleman was needed to ease the friction.
However...
They hadn't decided who would be the emperor of this new dynasty.
"How about we determine the winner by cultivation level?" Yu Zhaochang suggested with a smile, stroking his goatee.
Although all four were early Nascent Soul cultivators, he was on the brink of mid Nascent Soul, just a step away.
In terms of cultivation, he was definitely the highest.
"That's not appropriate," Kong Daoxing immediately rejected.
Guo Longjie and Yu Zhaochang also agreed.
The three understood that Yu Zhaochang had the highest cultivation level. If they ranked by cultivation, Yu Zhaochang would benefit without any effort.
"If that's not acceptable, what do you propose?" Yu Zhaochang snorted.
The other three exchanged glances, remaining silent.
At that moment, a voice came from the sky.
"Why don't you all just die, and the problem will be solved?"
As the words fell, Qin Wang landed slowly.
Seeing Qin Wang, the four were slightly stunned.
They didn't recognize him.
But!
For someone to approach unnoticed under the noses of four Nascent Soul cultivators, they must have special means.
However, when they used their spiritual senses to probe Qin Wang, they were surprised to find that, despite some disguise, his cultivation was only at the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
A mere mid Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to speak so calmly to four Nascent Soul cultivators?
Was he too ignorant, or truly fearless?
Kong Daoxing and the others stayed, not fleeing, even planning to establish a new dynasty, proving they were neither arrogant nor reckless.
On the contrary, their cunning and caution had served them well for centuries of cultivation.
Yu Zhaochang narrowed his eyes at Qin Wang.
"Who are you?" he asked, cautiously alert.
"I've come to kill you."
Qin Wang wasted no time on further words, instead commanding the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile through the soul blood.
At that moment, the previously calm ground shook violently.
Boom!!!!
The ground exploded as the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile burst out, lunging at the nearest You Xingchen.
You Xingchen never expected to be the first target.
Even more surprising was that the attacker was the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile!
Previously, they had fought the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile with twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and even Chu Yunxiao, a peak Nascent Soul expert, but couldn't capture it.
Now, facing it alone, fear overwhelmed You Xingchen.
He couldn't react in time to attack or defend, being swallowed whole by the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile.
Bang!
With an explosion, You Xingchen's body shattered, leaving a baby-like Nascent Soul clutching a life-bound treasure and storage bag, trying to escape.
In that moment, knowing he couldn't flee, You Xingchen decided to abandon his body and escape with his Nascent Soul.
As long as his Nascent Soul survived, he had a chance to start over.
"Miss Wu, stop him!" Qin Wang immediately took out the Barbarian God's Left Hand.
Wu Su controlled the Barbarian God's Left Hand, grabbing at You Xingchen's Nascent Soul.
The Barbarian God's Left Hand, like a bloody ribbon, wrapped around You Xingchen's Nascent Soul, pulling it back.
"Please..." You Xingchen began to plead, but Wu Su touched his forehead, rendering him immobile and speechless.
A soul rose from You Xingchen's Nascent Soul.
Qin Wang immediately used the Soul Gathering Bowl.
A powerful suction drew You Xingchen's soul into the bowl.
Even with a Nascent Soul stage soul, the bowl showed no reaction.
Clearly, whether ordinary mortals or Nascent Soul cultivators, to the bowl, all souls were like ants.
As long as they were dead, it could capture them.
Wu Su casually tossed You Xingchen's Nascent Soul to the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile.
The crocodile swallowed it whole, greedily eyeing the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Kong Daoxing, Guo Longjie, and Yu Zhaochang turned pale.
They never imagined the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile would obey someone.
Even less did they expect it to be a Foundation Establishment ant.
But now, their lives were in the hands of this ant.
The pressure made it hard for them to breathe.
Kong Daoxing gritted his teeth and couldn't hold back, using the blood escape technique.
Boom!!!
A muffled sound echoed.
Thick blood mist enveloped Kong Daoxing, shooting him away.
Unfortunately, his blood escape technique was no match for Wu Su's soul speed.
Now, with her soul power restored to the Spirit Transformation stage, Wu Su could manifest countless spells with a single thought.
In an instant, she appeared in front of Kong Daoxing and activated the Barbarian God's Left Hand.
A bloody hand formed, striking Kong Daoxing.
Bang!
Kong Daoxing's body exploded into a blood mist, his Nascent Soul hurtling toward the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile's gaping maw.
A soul floated.
Qin Wang used the Soul Gathering Bowl again, capturing Kong Daoxing's soul.
The Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile swallowed Kong Daoxing's Nascent Soul, roaring in excitement.
Roar!!!!
The terrifying sound waves spread in all directions.
Vast stretches of pine forest were flattened, and numerous low-level monsters fled in panic, fearing they would be devoured.
Even the most powerful beast in the Azure Sky Pine Forest, the seventh-level Golden Scaled Drilling Beast, cowered in its lair, too scared to emerge, fearing it would be devoured by the Ten Thousand Feet Blood Crocodile.
Qin Wang turned to the remaining Guo Longjie and Yu Zhaochang.
Of the original four Nascent Soul cultivators, only two remained, both trembling in fear.
Yu Zhaochang hesitated, then knelt.
"I am willing to submit. Please spare my life."
