Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 627 - 625 True Spirit Empress

"Keke~~"

Below, a smear of black, countless Red Demons gathered into a mass and charged out.

Ning Daoran immediately stomped his foot and descended into the abyss. A burst of spiritual pressure erupted around him, and explosions reverberated one after another. In an instant, thousands of Red Demons vanished into nothingness.

"Brat..."

A chilling voice rose from the depths of the vortex below.

Ning Daoran shuddered instantly, his heart enveloped in a deep, icy coldness. The owner of that voice was unquestionably extraordinary, and the piercing chill almost halved the speed at which Ning Daoran’s Blood Qi flowed within his body.

He glanced downward.

Two blood-red glimmers slowly ascended from the vortex’s bottom. They resembled icy daggers that could effortlessly pierce one’s heart, instilling in Ning Daoran an instinctual resistance to looking directly at them.

Soon, a figure rose into the air—the body was cloaked and trailed a blood-red gown, hundreds of meters long. It was a woman, bereft of a Divine Soul and seemingly just an empty shell. Her unblinking eyes were fixed on Ning Daoran.

This woman exuded a Nascent Soul Middle Stage aura that was strikingly similar to the Spirit Rune Blood Demon.

"Are you searching for your companions? Or perhaps, this woman is your Daoist couple?"

The woman raised her hand and gently swept it aside. Below, the Red Demons and Blood Demons spread apart, forming a clear path. As light shone down, a massive Ice Crystal was revealed, spanning the vortex’s base. Sealed within the crystal was a woman—it was True Monarch Liu Yun!

"!!!"

Ning Daoran was utterly shocked. He hastily released his Nascent Soul Divine Sense to probe the Ice Crystal.

True Monarch Liu Yun’s aura was still present and had not perished. The Ice Crystal was suffused with Array Path energy, clearly indicating that True Monarch Liu Yun had sealed herself to avoid the Black Tide’s corrosion.

Relieved, Ning Daoran redirected his gaze toward the woman. "Who are you?"

"I am the True Spirit Empress..."

The woman murmured faintly, "Brat, there’s no point in saying more. Since you dared to enter the Black Tide, you’d best leave your life here."

Ning Daoran snorted lightly without replying, instead transmitting thoughts to Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai: "Old Lu, the Red Demons and Blood Demons are trying to seal the entrance and cut off our retreat. You handle the rear—don’t let them succeed. Little Bai, stay hidden around the area and assist me in killing enemies when the opportunity arises. Remember, don’t let them encircle you!" frёeωebɳovel.com

Big Stupid Deer let out a cry before soaring into the air, transforming into a streak of lightning that dashed incessantly at the entrance above. He slaughtered the Blood Demons and Red Demons attempting to "shut the door," leaving them in complete disarray.

Little Bai swept her long skirt through the air and vanished into the wind, clearly deploying a stealth cultivation technique to conceal herself while standing by to support her master.

"Hehehe~~~"

The True Spirit Empress revealed a mocking expression. "Do you truly believe you can still leave after stepping into a Black Tide vortex?"

Ning Daoran lightly shook the Fire God Sword in his hand and smiled. "I think I’d like to give it a try."

"Very well, I shall make you concede willingly!"

The True Spirit Empress waved her sleeve and chanted lightly, "Go!"

In an instant, countless Red Demons and Blood Demons surged skyward like a tide, launching an attack on Ning Daoran from all directions.

Unfazed, Ning Daoran lightly tapped his storage bag. Numerous Array Flags and Array Plates flew out, deploying formations within the vortex, primarily Fourth-tier Arrays.

Three Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formations on the outermost layer, three Falling Star Arrays in the middle, and the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation in the innermost layer were stacked. A triple layer of Kunpeng Echo Formations further fortified the structure, creating an interconnected defensive system as solid as fortified walls.

"Formations?"

The True Spirit Empress couldn’t help but laugh. "Will they make a difference?"

In the air, countless silhouettes of Red Demons and Blood Demons lunged toward Ning Daoran.

"Kill!"

Ning Daoran soared into the air, holding the Fire God Sword. With Sword Heart Clarity, sword light raged from his blade, cleaving the Red Demons and Blood Demons into pieces!

Within the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, the tender golden bamboo forest swayed, and the twenty-four Golden Silk Swords concealed at the Array Eye ascended like streams of light. They spiraled upward around Ning Daoran before shooting skyward!

"Pupupupu~~~"

The piercing sound of flesh being sliced echoed continuously. Under the combined assault of the Golden Silk Swords and the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, ordinary Red Demons and Blood Demons had no chance of resisting. Not only did the Golden Silk Swords contain extremely pure Geng Metal Essence, but their power core was fueled by Chaos Spiritual Power, rendering them devastating against Red Demons and Blood Demons!

For a time, despite the tens of thousands of demon entities’ relentless siege, Ning Daoran stood firm and unmoving!

The Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation resembled a meat grinder, turning countless demon entities into rainlike debris, destroying their chances of penetrating the formation!

After a single tea’s time.

Ning Daoran remained composed, his Eternal Green Technique rolled within his body, continuously generating fresh Chaos Spiritual Power, leaving his mana reserves nearly untouched despite the intense combat.

"How is this possible?"

The True Spirit Empress found the scene before her inconceivable, her once lovely face gradually contorting with malevolence. Suddenly, she flung her sleeve and roared, "Spirit Rune Blood Demons! What are you waiting for? Attack and shred him to pieces!"

"Kekekeke~~~"

From the vortex below, piercing howls erupted as enormous figures charged forth from the darkness—Spirit Rune Blood Demons marked with golden spiritual patterns!

These Spirit Rune Blood Demons had a combat prowess equivalent to that of peak Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators. Ning Daoran had already experienced their strength and knew he had to be cautious.

Furthermore, at least three hundred such demons appeared at once, a daunting challenge for Ning Daoran, who had only reached Nascent Soul Early Stage himself!

Fortunately, the various Fourth-tier Arrays reinforced his confidence.

"Come at me!"

As the horde of Spirit Rune Blood Demons bore down upon him, Ning Daoran summoned the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror. Instantly, the treasure mirror transformed into a streak of golden light that vanished into the void. Moments later, the void glowed, as though a golden eye had opened. A mirror light swept across, freezing dozens of Spirit Rune Blood Demons in midair, unable to move despite their piercing cries.

"Go!"

Ning Daoran spread his left fingers wide and unleashed a tremendous surge of power. Chaos Dragon Energy erupted in torrents, condensing into nine colossal dragon shadows that roared thunderously. The nine dragon shadows charged from all directions, halting the advancing Spirit Rune Blood Demons, and shielding Ning Daoran’s weak points.

Simultaneously, guided by his mind, streams of Golden Silk Swords ascended. "Pupupupu," they pierced through the Spirit Rune Blood Demons’ bodies, precisely targeting their heads. In an instant, three of the demons were decapitated!

"Pengpengpeng~~~"

Three explosions sounded as three Spirit Rune Blood Demons were slain on the spot!

Just as Ning Daoran had anticipated, despite their strength, the Spirit Rune Blood Demons were vulnerable if their heads were severed—similar to Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts whose lives ended with decapitation.

"Swish!"

The Fire God Sword swept through, decapitating a Spirit Rune Blood Demon frozen under the Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror’s light. This instantaneously confirmed that once under the mirror’s influence, combining the offensive power of spiritual treasures targeted at the head guaranteed a one-hit kill!

The Nine Dragon Treasure Mirror imbued with Chaotic Power was undoubtedly a nemesis for these Spirit Rune Blood Demons.

Ning Daoran stood within the formation, his left hand controlling the mirror’s direction, while his right wielded the Fire God Sword, Blood-drinking Sword, Thunder Sword, and Evil Dragon Fang—four great spiritual treasures powered by Chaos Spiritual Power. He tirelessly darted between enemies, killing them one after another in the darkness.

Before long, fewer than a handful of the three hundred Spirit Rune Blood Demons remained.

Nearby, the True Spirit Empress’s expression grew sinister, her once-beautiful face thoroughly distorted as she glared ahead.

Ning Daoran said nothing but swiftly manipulated several formations to shift horizontally as dozens of Golden Silk Swords launched a concentrated assault on the True Spirit Empress from all sides!

"You dare!"

The True Spirit Empress roared furiously, a surge of demonic energy bursting forth.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Silk Swords pierced through her demonic energy with "pupupupu" sounds. Though they didn’t utterly destroy her, the strikes repeatedly diminished her aura.

Ning Daoran observed carefully: this so-called True Spirit Empress was merely a "larger version" of a Spirit Rune Blood Demon, with no fundamentally superior combat prowess. It was simply that ordinary cultivators struggled to eliminate her.

Being at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and entirely immune to Five Elements Attacks meant that unless a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator intervened, even a peak Nascent Soul Late Stage Human Clan cultivator would struggle to overpower her through sheer mana—such a feat would be nearly impossible.

For someone like Ning Daoran, who possessed a Chaos Nascent Soul and effortlessly generated Chaos Spiritual Power, his abilities were an anomaly.

Naturally, this validated Ning Daoran’s foresight when he first encountered the Black Tide and captured a Red Demon for extensive research—ultimately devising Chaos Power and cultivating a Chaos Nascent Soul. Without that preparation, he wouldn’t possess the strength to venture alone into such perilous Black Tide vortexes.

For any ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, such reckless behavior would have led to death countless times already!

...

After half a tea’s time.

The Fire God Sword’s radiance surged as it spiraled and buried itself into the True Spirit Empress’s chest. A tremendous eruption of blazing flames ensued, causing the True Spirit Empress to let out harrowing screams as her body combusted relentlessly.

"Kekekeke~~~"

All around, the remaining Red Demons and Blood Demons were left stunned, panicked to their cores.

The few surviving Spirit Rune Blood Demons, sensing imminent peril, swayed before fleeing toward the exterior with lightning speed.

"How can this be? You..."

The True Spirit Empress’s body burned down to nothing more than a head.

"Exactly as you see."

Ning Daoran’s sword streaked across, shattering the head entirely. The Fire God Sword struck something solid, producing a metallic clang.

From within the True Spirit Empress’s head emerged a pigeon-egg-sized blood-red crystal stone!

"This is..."

Ning Daoran summoned a stream of mana, retrieving the crystal stone from midair.

Upon probing it with his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, he was immediately astonished. The crystal stone bristled with resentment, rage, hatred, and other negative emotions. Undoubtedly, this was the essence of the True Spirit Empress’s corporeal mental origin.

While it contained traces of Essence Qi, it was evidently unsuitable for Human Clan cultivators.

The negativity was so potent that Ning Daoran doubted its usability—even for Little Qing or Little Bai.

"Please... do not kill me..."

A voice echoed from within the crystal stone—it was the pleading voice of the True Spirit Empress.

Ning Daoran clenched his fingers, holding the blood-red crystal stone firmly in his palm. Behind him, the Dragon Demon Martial Infant Dharma Form ascended, and his physical strength surged violently.

"What use are you to me?"

He exerted a tremendous force, causing the blood-red crystal stone to hum and whistle.

"Peng——"

With a deafening blast, the crystal stone shattered, marking the complete annihilation of the True Spirit Empress!
