Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 488 - 429: Boarding!

"The ship is steady now, everyone get ready."

The Black God Venerable, tossed amid the massive waves of the Ruins of Return, gradually calmed down. Fiery red lights surrounded it, indistinct and obscure, blurring the line between reality and illusion.

Turbid Blood Rakshasa!

The guards of the Black God Venerable.

These Ruins of Return mutants can freely switch between Turbid Blood and Rakshasa forms.

Once struck directly by their turbid blood, even a Dao Body realm expert like Chuxiong would feel pressured, requiring all their strength to slowly extricate themselves.

Moreover, turbid blood would erode the Daoist Spirit, making Dao experts unable to summon their Dao Spirit temporarily, or suppressing its power.

For a Dao expert, this is nearly fatal.

Gazing steadily at the fiery red lights surrounding the Black God Venerable, Qi Xiu roughly counted, there were at least five or six thousand clusters.

With such a number of Turbid Blood Rakshasas swarming in, even the top-tier Dao experts would struggle.

It can be said that heading towards the Black God Venerable was akin to a high-stakes gamble.

"Master, shall we go have a look?"

Unsure when Daoist Yunxiong, who had come to the deck, stood beside Qi Xiu, looking at the colleagues around who were eager to try, and even started casting spells, Qi Xiu turned his head to ask his master.

"Mystic Monarch Passing the Sea happens once every thousand years, not every time do we encounter the Black God Venerable during the ten occurrences.

Such a rare opportunity—since we’ve come across it, not going to see it is quite regrettable."

Gazing at the Black God Venerable ahead, Daoist Yunxiong nodded slowly.

After all, compared to other sect cultivators, their Shenxiao Sect holds an innate advantage when facing these foul mutants.

"Alright."

Since even the master decided to board this ancient treasure ship, Qi Xiu, who already had some curiosity about it, naturally had no objections.

Having decided to board the ship, Daoist Yunxiong immediately called Liu Tai and Feng Jun, and the four of them prepared to set off together.

Boom!

Shooting skyward, a fierce and blazing thunder light rose from the Dragon Whale Giant Ship, crackling as it traversed the void, emanating an extremely domineering aura akin to the wrath of heaven.

Those Turbid Blood Rakshasas, roaming and lingering around the Black God Venerable, looking for an opportunity to ambush, initially intended to pounce.

Yet the instinctual fear of the foul towards heaven’s thunder made them instinctively retreat.

"These Turbid Blood Rakshasas seem not very intelligent."

Noticing the Turbid Blood Rakshasas instinctively retreating from them, Qi Xiu’s gaze twitched slightly.

Turbid Blood Rakshasas, despite being comparable to Dao Body realm existence, may not match orthodox Dao Body realm cultivators but their numbers are vast.

A swarm, and even Thunder Law cultivators may find it hard to resist.

Yet these Turbid Blood Rakshasas succumb to their instincts, avoiding naturally, clearly devoid of intelligence or spirit essence, acting entirely on instinct.

"Reportedly, these Turbid Blood Rakshasas were the personal soldiers under the Mystic Monarch.

After the Mystic Monarch was nailed and suppressed in the Haiyan, his soldiers remained near the Haiyan.

But endless resentment accumulated and slowly spilled over, those soldiers were contaminated and mutated into Turbid Blood Rakshasas.

Their original spiritual wisdom sank and vanished, becoming mutants acting on instinct."

Liu Tai and Feng Jun walked through the sky beside him. While they didn’t have Thunder method protection, "The Indestructible Body" was extremely fierce and blazing, comparable, if not greater than Thunder magic.

Thus, those Turbid Blood Rakshasas retreated from the source, sensing the aura, quickly left, forming two blank spaces beside them.

Without Turbid Blood Rakshasa obstruction, the four of them climbed onto the Black God Venerable’s treasure ship smoothly.

"Just like that... went up?"

Watching Qi Xiu and his group ascend the Black God Venerable so effortlessly, the remaining Dao experts were helpless.

This is the advantage of Thunder Law cultivators.

Anything unbearably foul, upon encountering them, as if subjected to heavenly might, avoided them early without needing to take action, fleeing prematurely.

But envying aside, they still had to board the ship.

After a few sighs, numerous Dao experts began employing methods, advancing towards the immense, ancient and cold Black God Venerable.

Though compared to Qi Xiu’s group’s calm ease.

The remaining Dao experts were significantly more cumbersome and difficult, except for some of them being Pure Yang Daoism cultivators.

Other Dao experts were fiercely attacked by the Turbid Blood Rakshasas.

These mutants, although degraded into mindless creatures without spirit essence, retained their instinct to guard the Black God Venerable.

Upon detecting someone trying to board the ship, they would immediately attack.

Soon the void surrounding the Black God Venerable erupted into one godly storm after another!

Hundreds of Dao experts simultaneously exerted techniques, endless Divine Light aura broke loose like dragons breaching dikes, flooding the area with thunderous force.

Immense force distorted the surrounding Space-Bounding void, under this force, those Turbid Blood Rakshasas were utterly defenseless.

Resortlessly allowing mountain-crushing, river-reversing power to bombard them, blasting them into countless fragments and ruins.

These remnants swiftly magnified and replicated, transforming into more Turbid Blood Rakshasas in an instant.

"Don’t get entangled, board the ship immediately, lest be surrounded and die by these Turbid Blood Rakshasas!"

Amidst chaos, a Dao expert noticed the unfavorable situation and shouted a warning.

And other Dao experts reacted quickly, restraining their methods, shifting from offense to defense, deploying myriad techniques to suppress and seal the overwhelming Turbid Blood Rakshasas, force through the sky-filled filth and blood light, opening a path to the Black God Venerable.

On the other side.

Having boarded the Black God Venerable, as soon as Qi Xiu landed on deck, the surrounding void blurred.

The next instant, Daoist Yunxiong and Liu Tai, Feng Jun directly vanished.

"Space-Bounding transference?"

Sensing the faint Space-Bounding force ripple, Qi Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, activating Observing Qi Skill to search for the position of Space-Bounding force, endeavoring to break the void and pursue.

Yet just as he captured the source of Space-Bounding force, his right hand transformed into colors, intending to tear the front Forbidden Law with Innate Primeval Breath.

The void ahead suddenly shimmered, and Daoist Yunxiong, who had just disappeared, reappeared.

"Master?"

Lowering his raised right hand, watching his returning master, Qi Xiu was slightly startled.

"This ship has Confounding Heaven and Earth, Heart-Bewildering Forbidden Law, boarding the deck triggers random teleportation which periodically activates.

Fortunately, this forbidden law sustained for years has developed many flaws, letting me discover a gap and return here."

Gently brushing his beard, Daoist Yunxiong nodded:

"Let’s go, the ship’s treasures are below the deck, let’s go see."

"Not waiting for Liu and Feng?" Qi Xiu asked casually while turning around.

"They were teleported far away, but being top-tier Dao experts, don’t worry.

We’ll meet at the ship cabin later.

Let’s go."

Repeating once more, Daoist Yunxiong frowned slightly seeing Qi Xiu standing before him, not taking a step.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?"

"Wait?

Of course, waiting for you to act."

Slowly turning sideways, Qi Xiu’s eyes surged purple, a vast and terrifying thunder power revived within, threads of Thunder Light crackled in the void, piercing through Space-Bounding, the surrounding deck groaned under pressure.

"Disciple, what are you doing, I’m your master!"

Feigning anger, "Daoist Yunxiong" shouted sternly, yet subconsciously stepped back.

"Master? Well then, I take you as my master, now disciple wishes to consult the master on a Thunder magic, surely the master won’t refuse."

Smiling at the "Daoist Yunxiong" across him, Qi Xiu slowly raised his right hand, a shadow of infinite Thunder Path power gathered in his palm, gradually solidifying.
