Cultivation System: Stronger with Age-Chapter 842 - 331: Supreme Divine Soul, As Difficult As Reaching Heaven_2
This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise!
However, that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Celestial Demon possesses such a terrifying and mystical body that even in the Upper Realm, it is undoubtedly a top existence! Such a fearsome creature, its lifespan likely parallels the heavens, and would certainly not perish due to the depletion of its lifespan. How then did such a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Celestial Demon fall?
If it was attacked and perished by an even more powerful and dreadful creature, what kind of existence could make this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Celestial Demon fall?
Thinking of this,
Lin Xuankong felt a heavy burden of doubt and amazed himself that although he possessed various talents and formidable trump cards, he was ultimately just beginning on this infinitely far-reaching Immortal Path!
Lost in thought,
the prodigious top Demon King Gang Bone and the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Ba Xia Race were running ahead, leading the way.
During this journey, over a dozen days, the three Demon Kings would occasionally stop while leading the way, searching around to find the hidden markers left by their clan!
Within the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, the crimson mist prevails throughout the year, isolating all sound and light. Without these markers, even with the Ba Xia Race’s talent to absorb the blood-colored mist, they would be unable to find their way amidst the desolate and similar terrain!
Throughout this journey, Gang Bone and the two elders of Ba Xia Race stopped at least thousands of times to investigate the hidden markers around, to avoid taking the wrong path and getting lost in the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land!
Without even asking, one could guess that the Ba Xia Race must have expended massive manpower and effort to search such a vast area and leave so many hidden markers within the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land!
Throughout this, Lin Xuankong and the White-forehead Qilin, Cyan-forehead Qilin, etc., discovered numerous dried corpses of other high-grade Demon Kings from Demon Race clans and Human Race cultivators, all dead for unknown years, even the Demon Pills and Earth Immortal Golden Cores had lost their luster due to time!
According to the Second Elder of Ba Xia Race,
those Demon Kings of other Demon Race clans and Human Race cultivators and Earth Immortals who died in the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land had sneaked in using clandestine means without permission from the Ba Xia Race, hoping to find opportunities within the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land!
Though the Ba Xia Race could undoubtedly be called a top clan in the Boundaryless Mountain Range, with tens of billions of demons, the scope of the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land is truly too vast,
even if they deployed countless personnel around the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land to fend off most other clans’ spying, they could absolutely not guard against all Demon Kings and cultivators who planned to sneak into the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land!
While speaking, the Second Elder of the Ba Xia Race glanced at the corpses of the dead Demon Kings, his eyes cold,
"Hmph, although there is more than one Celestial Demon Blood Fruit Tree in this Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, this place called Forbidden Land is not so easily accessible for seeking opportunities!
In this Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, one cannot activate Immortal Yuan; one must rely on True Qi and physical power to search, and due to the isolation of sound and sight, it is exceptionally easy to lose direction. Once supplies are exhausted and True Essence is depleted, even mighty Earth Immortals and Demon King level beings trapped inside for thousands or tens of thousands of years will eventually be doomed to death. Once impatience sets in and Immortal Yuan is activated, it might even provoke attacks from the roots of the Celestial Demon Blood Fruit Tree, resulting in instant death!
In this Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, only our Ba Xia Race and a few other Demon Race clans with the talent ability to absorb Heaven and Earth Qi have a slight advantage. All other clans’ Demon Kings and cultivators dreaming of finding opportunities here are essentially wishful thinking!
Moreover,
the enhancement of the Divine Soul is extremely difficult; aside from relying on successfully overcoming Celestial Tribulations to absorb special Celestial Tribulation Immortal Yuan to improve, only a rare few Treasure Medicines can provide slight enhancements to the Divine Soul in the Earth Immortal Realm!
Although the Celestial Demon Blood Fruit is absolutely extraordinary and ranks first among countless Spirit Elixirs in the Immortal Realm, significantly enhancing the strength of the Divine Soul, it is not as though ingesting one immediately bestows a Supreme Divine Soul!
Especially for Ninth Grade Realm Demon Kings and Human Earth Immortals, who have already achieved Ninth Grade Divine Souls by absorbing substantial special Immortal Yuan after overcoming nine Tribulations, attempting to metamorphose such strong Divine Souls into Divine Soul strengths akin to near-mythical levels like Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons, and Celestial Devils is incredibly arduous!
It is said that the Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect from the Immortal Realm Human Race consumed a total of seventy-two Celestial Demon Blood Fruits before ultimately achieving the strongest Divine Soul in the Immortal Realm, far surpassing even the top Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect and the Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of the Spirit Platform Buddha Realm!
But that’s seventy-two Celestial Demon Blood Fruits!
A Celestial Demon Blood Fruit Tree takes thousands to tens of thousands of years to mature just a few Celestial Demon Blood Fruits. To acquire seventy-two such fruits is certainly not an easy matter, attempting to achieve Divine Soul strengths in the Earth Immortal Realm akin to touching the Celestial Immortal, Celestial Demon, and Celestial Devil Realm is even tougher than ascending to the heavens!
These Demon Kings and Earth Immortals who perished in the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, dreaming of wandering around the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land to find great opportunities, how could their hopes be fulfilled? In the end, each died in the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Land, aptly described as wishful thinking and losing everything!"
Upon hearing the Second Elder of the Ba Xia Race say this,
the faces of several Demon Kings of the Qilin Race turned somber, eyes filled with bitterness, evidently thinking of the previously fallen Second Elder of the Qilin Race.
By Lin Xuankong’s side, the Cyan-forehead Qilin cast a glance at the Second Elder of the Ba Xia Race, shaking its head and snorting, 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"There are as numerous cultivators in the Immortal Realm as cattle, how can they all be treated the same! Moreover, each cultivator’s talent differs, as does the foundation of their Divine Soul. Some might consume hundreds of Celestial Demon Blood Fruits yet not achieve a Supreme Divine Soul, while others achieve it after seventy-two fruits, and there are those who can consume a dozen and instantly achieve a Supreme Divine Soul!"
After finishing, the Cyan-forehead Qilin glanced at Lin Xuankong, eyes showing admiration, "Mr. Mu is extolled endlessly by our master, Immortal Lord Luoshui, as a peerless talent. It’s possible his Divine Soul foundation is excellent; upon consuming ten or eight Celestial Demon Blood Fruits, he could instantly undergo Soul Metamorphosis and become the second Supreme Divine Soul in the Immortal Realm!"
The Cyan-forehead Qilin evidently was already thoroughly astonished by the battle involving Lin Xuankong ten days prior, and its admiration for Lin Xuankong had reached a point of near-blindness, comparable to its worship of its own master, Immortal Lord Luoshui!
Of course, the Demon Kings of the Qilin Race hoped that Lin Xuankong would consume ten or so Celestial Demon Blood Fruits and directly undergo Soul Metamorphosis, achieving a Supreme Divine Soul!
The prodigious top Demon King Gang Bone of the Ba Xia Race, along with the Second Elder and Third Elder, after hearing this, all shook their heads repeatedly,
having obtained dozens of Celestial Demon Blood Fruits over hundreds of thousands of years, whereupon the clan leader of Ba Xia and Gang Bone all consumed more than ten, yet did not experience a complete Soul Metamorphosis to achieve a Supreme Divine Soul akin to the Sect Leader of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect!
Precisely because of this, the Demon Kings of the Ba Xia Race deeply understand the difficulty of Soul Metamorphosis!
If a Mortal Realm’s cultivators and demons, with inherently weak Divine Soul foundations, instantly undergo Metamorphosis upon consuming a Celestial Demon Blood Fruit, akin to the sect founder Wang Qizhen of Yang Immortal Sect, attaining Fifth Grade Earth Immortal Realm Divine Soul strength directly in the Mortal Realm, then greatly enhanced power results!
But for high-grade Earth Immortals and Demon Kings, Soul Metamorphosis is exceedingly challenging!
Especially the Ninth Grade Realm Demon Kings, after undergoing tribulations’ relentless tempering, have long achieved an exceptionally strong Divine Soul, the strength of which has increased hundreds of times compared to the Fifth Grade Realm!
Upon such a foundation, attempting Soul Metamorphosis without surpassing the Ninth Grade tribulations to achieve the strongest Divine Soul in the Immortal Realm is extremely tough, practically tantamount to ascending to the heavens; how could merely ten or eight Celestial Demon Blood Fruits accomplish this?
