Chapter 167: Did You Start Dating?
"Ah... No!" The purple-haired man roared, his face pale, and quickly revealed his true form: a Purple-Gold Hou. When this creature reached the Late Stage, it could transform into a Supreme, and a single roar could shake down the moon. Its roar contained a Great Divine Ability, and its power was astonishing. It was a terrifying primeval creature, known as invincible among its younger generation.
Now, it was trembling under Lin Dong's Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger. The finger descended, and the Purple-Gold Hou's entire body was shattered into a bloody mist in the Void Realm.
When the woman saw her companion so easily slain, she instantly panicked and also revealed her true form. This was a Dragon Sparrow, a Divine Bird with an astonishing Bloodline. Dragon roars and Phoenix cries resounded through the heavens and earth, and she erupted with boundless Divine Light. However, all of these were futile struggles.
Lin Dong did not use the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger to directly suppress her. Instead, like an Immortal King, he struck her body with punch after punch. This was to fulfill his previous promise: he was going to pluck the bird's feathers. The Dragon Sparrow was continuously sent stumbling backward, its beautiful feathers torn off, bloody and tattered. These were rare original True Feathers. After beating the Dragon Sparrow into a featherless chicken, Lin Dong snorted coldly, then completely suppressed and killed it.
Two primeval-level figures died so easily in Lin Dong's hands. He waved his big hand, collecting all the feathers, preparing to make a Five-Bird Fan later.
When the servants of these two primeval beings saw such a sight, they were instantly shocked. How could their Young Lord and Saintess be so easily suppressed and killed? They were angry and fearful and all wanted to attack Lin Dong. He didn't indulge them; he unleashed a Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, and the giant finger instantly shattered countless people into bloody mist. However, he still left one or two alive.
The one left alive was a young man with a face full of fear. It was unclear whose servant he was. Yang Qi used a Soul Search technique on him and instantly learned the entire story. A look of excitement flashed across his face: "Brothers, these two are Geniuses from the Purple-Gold Hou Clan and the Dragon Sparrow Clan. They came here specifically to find us!"
"Because of that stone tablet before, it attracted the attention of many people... Some guessed Brother Shi's identity and sent people here to ambush us!"
Lin Dong sneered after hearing Yang Qi's words. "They want to ambush us with just a few pieces of trash? How ridiculous... Since they want to play, then I'll play along with them..."
Meng Qi also looked eager to try after learning this news. The few of them were all Prodigies of their respective Realms, cultivating terrifying Divine Abilities. In their own worlds, they were uninhibited existences. Now, learning that many forces from the Upper Realm of Perfect World had sent people to this Demonic Island to hunt them down, there was no fear in their hearts, only a surging Battle Intent.
Shi Jian was not surprised; he hadn't hidden his identity after ascending to the Upper Realm. It was normal for powerful individuals to come and ambush him. It was just that they were currently deep within Demonic Island. Otherwise, even those Sect Leader-level figures would probably personally attack him. Not to mention his identity as a Sin Blood Great Fiend, the Kunpeng Law alone was something no one could refuse.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Jian spoke to the others: "There is a curse in the depths of Demonic Island; people with too strong cultivation dare not enter. I'm afraid most of the people who can enter are concentrated in the Divine Fire, True One, and Heavenly God Realms!"
"With our strength, as long as we don't encounter a Heavenly God, we are enough to dominate this Demonic Island... Since they want to die, then let's grant their wish!" A killing intent appeared on Shi Jian's face. He hadn't even sought trouble with those great sects yet. Those people came looking for him first.
Lin Dong waved a vibrant feather in his hand. Runes covered this feather, and with a gentle flick, it could shoot out sharp Divine Light like an Immortal Sword. Accompanied by smoke and mist, it was incredibly dazzling. This was the feather of that Dragon Sparrow.
"Many clan Geniuses have also come, right? What do you call them in your world? Primevals?"
"Let's find a few more birds, pluck their feathers, and then have Old Fang refine a Five-Colored Bird Fan for me..." Lin Dong spoke with great interest. The feathers on this bird were extraordinary. If he collected feathers from other birds and beasts and then refined them into a Five-Colored Bird Fan, its power would definitely be extraordinary. He himself wouldn't use such a feminine item, but he could give it away as a gift.
"Those primeval figures all have extraordinary Bloodlines... If we can capture some, and then combine them with the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art... perhaps we can push our Physiques to a higher level!" Shi Jian spoke again, also setting his sights on those primevals. Fang Han had previously mentioned that the Yellow Springs Great Emperor had arranged hundreds of extremely rare Divine Beast eggs from heaven and earth into a Chaos Primordial Embryo Great Array. Then, using the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art, he fused the primordial energy life characteristics of all these Divine Beasts into one. Finally, he broke through to the tenth stage of longevity, tearing open the Immortal Realm's gate.
These primevals in the Upper Realm all had extraordinary Bloodlines. If they were captured and a "Chaos Primeval Great Array" was set up, incorporating the primordial energy life characteristics of these primevals into their own bodies, they would be terrifyingly strong.
"Mixing so many Physiques together? Wouldn't that make them mongrels..." After hearing Shi Jian's words, Lin Dong scratched his head.
Shi Jian was speechless for a moment, then he spoke: "This method may not necessarily be suitable for you; although these primevals have extraordinary Physiques, mixing various Physiques together is indeed too messy!"
"However, the Bloodlines of these primevals are of great use to me and Yang Qi..."
"The two of us have cultivated the Dominator Body within the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength; the Dominator Body can dominate and control everything!"
"At that time, by plundering the Bloodlines of these primevals with the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art, and then integrating them into the Dominator Body, the Dominator Body will become even stronger..." Shi Jian stated his idea. The Dominator Body was to dominate everything, and its power was unquestionable. However, this Divine Ability was truly too difficult to cultivate. If trained step by step, it would take a long time to cultivate to the Major Achievement Realm. But if the Physiques of these primevals were plundered and integrated into the Dominator Body, it would become increasingly powerful. The Dominator Body controlled all things, so there was no problem with mixed Bloodlines.
Yang Qi's eyes instantly lit up after hearing Shi Jian's words. He, who also cultivated the Dominator Body, also felt that this matter had potential. The two of them looked at each other, then let out cackling laughter.
Meng Qi and Lin Dong felt a chill down their spines after hearing their laughter. "Hiss, you two are truly the Demonic Path of the Demonic Path; not only do you refine other people's cultivation, but now you also want to plunder other people's Bloodlines..." Meng Qi couldn't help but complain.
Shi Jian nodded, then said with a look of self-reflection: "Great Master is right, so please Great Master, help us absolve our sins and deliver the deceased..."
"From now on, when the two of us kill people and bury their bodies, you will be responsible for their deliverance... A complete one-stop service!"
"Amitabha, as it should be, my Buddha is merciful!" Meng Qi had a compassionate expression. As Lin Dong listened to the three of them talk, for a moment, he really wanted to throw a Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger at them.
After understanding the specific situation, Shi Jian and the others put the previously ambushed Lightning Silver Dragon into their possession. This Lightning Silver Dragon was of extremely high quality; its entire body was a treasure. It could assist others in transforming Geng Metal power into Geng Metal Divine Lightning. After putting it away, the group continued to explore Demonic Island.
They hadn't gone far when a shocking Sword Qi suddenly slashed over. Just as they dodged it, another crimson sword light swept over, cutting through the water. "Someone is fighting?" The group initially thought this attack was aimed at them. However, seeing how erratic the Sword Qi was, they realized that someone was engaged in battle.
"Something exciting to watch?" Shi Jian and the others didn't hesitate, immediately heading towards the place where the vital energy fluctuations were intense. A chaotic battle was taking place there, with many figures present. There were primeval powerhouses, young Supremes, and creatures who had ignited their Divine Fire.
"Didn't they say these people were all here to ambush us? Why are they fighting among themselves first..." Meng Qi spoke in surprise.
Shi Jian was not too surprised; he thought for a moment and then said: "The people sent by the forces related to those few crippled Immortals should indeed be targeting us... However, these primevals came here probably to compete for dominance..." The group pondered upon hearing this.
"They seem to be fighting over something..." Yang Qi's eyes flashed, then he spoke. "There's a corpse there, and the corpse is clutching a cauldron, which seems to be an extraordinary treasure... Inside, there's a surge of auspiciousness, a fragrant and refreshing life essence..."
"It's probably some kind of precious medicine inside..."
"This corpse was probably fished out of the Heavenly River by them..." The group watched the chaotic battle scene with great interest. Suddenly, the cauldron was tossed high into the air, and dozens of precious medicines shot out in all directions. Some were verdant green, some were entirely golden, and some were as red as blood. These precious medicines contained strong vitality, still bearing dew, all alive, as if they had just been dug out of a medicinal field.
"They're all Saint Medicines..." Shi Jian looked at these precious medicines with some surprise. There were dozens of herbs in the cauldron, and almost all of them were Saint Medicines or Quasi-Saint Medicines. This was quite astonishing. Such precious medicines were extremely rare. A single Quasi-Saint Medicine was enough to bring the dead back to life and regrow bones, giving someone an extra life. Liu Shen was able to recover her cultivation so quickly because she had once used a Saint Medicine. That Saint Medicine was obtained by Shi Jian from the Kun Peng Divine Burial. Shi Jian didn't know the exact extent of its help to Liu Shen, but she had actively requested it at the time, which alone showed its preciousness.
The owner of this cauldron was definitely an extraordinary individual. With the appearance of these Saint Medicines, the situation on the battlefield became even more chaotic. The battle intensified. The thick fog within a radius of several hundred miles was torn apart. Various runes flickered across the sky. Divine Power surged, and Dao patterns were densely packed. Those with slightly weaker cultivation would suffer a calamity if they were not careful.
"Let's move..." Shi Jian said, then stepped into the crowd and began to snatch those precious medicines. An Opportunity presented itself. There was no reason not to take it. Yang Qi and the others acted simultaneously.
Shi Jian snatched a Saint Medicine and was about to snatch another when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the crowd. A slender hand reached out, about to grasp a Saint Medicine. Shi Jian instantly appeared before her and silently took the Saint Medicine into his hand. That figure instantly turned her head in anger. It was a female, with a slender, snow-white, jade-like body, exuding an enchanting aura. Moreover, her stealth skills were extremely impressive. It was difficult to sense her even when she was close by. If Shi Jian hadn't been familiar with her, he wouldn't have discovered her.
"You fellow..." That person turned around and, after seeing Shi Jian's appearance, instantly gnashed her teeth. "Demonic Path Saintess."
"I was worried you were in danger and came to find you with good intentions, but you snatched my Saint Medicine..." The Demonic Path Saintess made a heartbroken expression, her ivory-white and smooth body tensing, then suddenly glowed all over, using a precious technique to try and snatch the precious medicine from Shi Jian's hand.
Previously, her Incarnation had been utterly helpless in Shi Jian's hands. Now, her true body was present, and her strength had greatly increased. She instantly became overconfident and dared to test Shi Jian's strength. Her slender, straight, crystalline jade leg kicked towards the hand Shi Jian was holding the precious medicine with.
Shi Jian immediately saw through her little scheme. He snorted coldly and acted like lightning, instantly seizing her jade leg. Then he grabbed her ankle and pulled hard, capturing her. The Demonic Path Saintess only felt a strange force coming from her leg, and her entire body uncontrollably fell towards Shi Jian. Her black dress fluttered, revealing a large amount of fair skin. Her eyes were sparkling, and her appearance was even more stunning than before. She combined all the advantages of a Heavenly Fox and a Demonic Path Saintess. Shi Jian glanced at her butt... no tail, bad review!
Shi Jian's five fingers were pressed together, with a glow flowing over them. Though they were hands, they were sharper than Divine Weapons and Sharp Weapons, enough to cut through flesh and blood. His hand instantly chopped down on the Demonic Path Saintess's jade leg. Crystalline and fresh red blood splattered out. However, Shi Jian didn't strike ruthlessly; he mainly just wanted to test her current strength. From a small glimpse, the Demonic Path Saintess's strength was among the top in the Upper Realm among the many Prodigies. One could tell the level of the Upper Realm Prodigies from her.
"Immortal muscles and jade bones, a good Physical Body..." Shi Jian commented. Then he released the Demonic Path Saintess's leg.
The Demonic Path Saintess was still palpitating: "You fellow, why is your strength so terrifying...?" She had originally thought that by using her true body's power, she would at least be able to contend with Shi Jian to some extent. But she never expected that his strength would truly be so terrifying. He easily subdued her and even cut open her skin. She had soaked her true body in something similar to Golden Body Liquid, forging an indestructible Immortal Muscle Jade Skin. Don't let her leg's glowing, flawless, and smooth appearance fool you. In reality, there were runes manifested within. It felt like flesh and blood to the touch, but in reality, it was as hard and cold as metal and stone. Even powerful Magical Artifacts striking it would only produce a burst of sparks.
"Why did you come here too?" Shi Jian asked. He had originally thought that after their last separation, he wouldn't know when he would see her again. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would see her again.
"Hmph... Isn't it because the commotion you guys caused was too big!"
"'Unrestrained'? That name must be yours, right?"
"What's going on with White Emperor, Black Emperor, and Wuji Sword Venerable? Are they your companions? There were clearly only three of us when we ascended to the Upper Realm..." The Demonic Path Saintess rubbed her leg, and a flash of silvery-white light passed. The injury began to recover. "There's a large group of Dominator-level figures waiting for you outside right now... You'd best change your appearance before going out!" Although her tone was dissatisfied, Shi Jian heard a hint of concern.
Shi Jian took a sharp breath, then looked at the Demonic Path Saintess strangely: "Are you concerned about me? You're not into S&M, are you...?"
"What 'S&M'?" The Demonic Path Saintess was confused by the question. Shi Jian leaned his head and whispered a few words into her ear. Upon hearing this, the Demonic Path Saintess instantly became enraged, her brow radiating a terrifying aura. A small figure emerged from her brow, then charged towards Shi Jian. This was the power of Divine Soul. The Divine Soul could transform into a weapon and launch a mental attack. A divine light also appeared from Shi Jian's brow; this was a mental attack triggered by his Divine Eye.
The two's Divine Souls clashed. The Demonic Path Saintess instantly let out a muffled groan, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth. "It's one thing for your Physical Body to be so powerful... but your Divine Soul power is actually so terrifying..." She felt a tremor in her heart. The Divine Soul clash just now made her clearly sense the power of Shi Jian's Divine Soul. Who could imagine that Shi Jian was merely in the Array Realm?
"Is this your first day knowing me? Isn't it only natural for me to be powerful...?" Shi Jian responded indifferently.
"Hmph!" The Demonic Path Saintess snorted coldly, looking at the Saint Medicine in Shi Jian's hand, her eyes darted, then she spoke: "Look over there, see that fellow, Yue Chan... I just saw her receive a Saint Medicine... Let's go and snatch it from her..." As she spoke, the Demonic Path Saintess looked towards Yue Chan. Shi Jian followed her gaze and indeed saw Yue Chan's figure. However, there was a significant difference from when he had seen her in the Lower Realm.
"Yue Chan and the Immortal Palace successor have a good relationship; they even cultivate a master-subordinate body technique together..."
"Aren't you going to deal with the Immortal Palace? Let's collect some interest from her first..." The Demonic Path Saintess spoke with a seductive tone.
Shi Jian was unmoved by her words. "We're acquaintances after all... How can I bring myself to snatch her Saint Medicine?"
The Demonic Path Saintess gnashed her teeth upon hearing this: "You can't bring yourself to snatch hers, so you come and snatch mine, right...?"
"And to think I waited for you for so long..." She first cursed Shi Jian thoroughly, then continued: "This Yue Chan is not the same one you know... Her master-subordinate body technique allows both bodies to have independent consciousness. Her Incarnation learned some of the truth you spoke of and now has rebellious intentions... She's dissatisfied with the Immortal Palace!" The Demonic Path Saintess's tone was somewhat gloating.
"Wasn't your Incarnation also in the Lower Realm? Why didn't it develop independent consciousness?" Shi Jian asked curiously.
"Although that was my Incarnation, it didn't develop independent consciousness; I myself resided within it to descend to the Lower Realm..."
"One soul for the main body and Incarnation, unable to control simultaneously, not as convenient as their method where both master and subordinate bodies can act independently, but it has the advantage of having no hidden dangers..." The Demonic Path Saintess explained proudly.
"Oh..." Shi Jian suddenly understood. "You mean you yourself and Yue Chan's Incarnation fought in the Lower Realm, and then you couldn't even win against her...?"
"You motherf*****..." The Demonic Path Saintess broke down. She rarely cursed. What kind of Heaven-Defying comprehension ability do you have? When did I ever not win against Yue Chan? What kind of nonsense are you spouting...
Shi Jian and the Demonic Path Saintess were chatting happily. Yang Qi, Lin Dong, and Meng Qi, however, were diligently vying for Saint Medicines. Their figures constantly flickered in the Void Realm, as one Saint Medicine after another was taken into their possession.
Meng Qi had just acquired a Quasi-Saint Medicine, and a look of joy was appearing on his face. Unintentionally, he saw Shi Jian and the Demonic Path Saintess chatting and laughing. Meng Qi's smile faded. "Big Fool... What are you doing!"
