Chapter 296: Chapter 177: First Nascent Soul Kill (2)

In the next moment, the state of merging man and insect was lifted, and the Seven-Colored Butterfly was forced out of the body, and the True Monarch of the Withered Disc also fell to the ground.

The fat worm roared once and then immediately turned around to run.

At this moment, it had already flown a hundred feet away, hiding behind a withered tree and looking over here.

“The Quasi-Five Transformation Golden Cicada Gu is indeed extraordinary!” A hint of joy appeared on Li Jizhou’s face.

As for the True Monarch of the Withered Disc, whose realm had fallen, even if merging man and insect allowed recovery to the Nascent Soul Stage, the fat worm’s transformation was nearing perfection, naturally it was firmly under control.

Unfortunately, this creature was difficult to tame.

In the midst of his sigh, Li Jizhou did not remain idle, constantly casting spells that had never been used before towards the array within.

The trump card of merging man and insect had failed; the True Monarch of the Withered Disc had no more cards to pose a threat to Li Jizhou!

Now, it was merely lingering on!

Ten days later,

“Let’s talk!” The True Monarch of the Withered Disc had been resisting the relentless killing intent for ten consecutive days, truly overwhelmed.

After ten days of continual exhaustion, not only impacted by the Tier Three Advanced Level Illusion Array, but also suddenly being activated here and there by Gua Gua, her Primordial Spirit had been excessively depleted.

The full body of magical power was void.

Li Jizhou smiled faintly, slightly raising his right hand: “Please speak!”

“I admit I’ve fallen; how can I save my life?” Any cultivator in this realm who has crossed the Nascent Soul threshold, has surpassed ninety-nine percent of the living beings here, with hopes of seeking eternal longevity.

They cherish life more than ordinary cultivators.

Especially the Gu Masters clan, once they break through to the Nascent Soul, there is hope to nurture a Longevity Gu.

“What are you willing to offer?” Li Jizhou chuckled.

“Everything!”

Li Jizhou slightly raised his eyebrow, stopping the release of spells.

“Then… I want your… life!”

“Whoosh~” Just when the True Monarch of the Withered Disc harbored expectations, a shadow flashed.

“You… you…” The head of the True Monarch of the Withered Disc slowly slid down, her eyes nearly spitting fire!

The Quasi-Fourth Tier complete Ghost Shadow Puppet dealing with the already dwindling True Monarch of the Withered Disc, especially when her mind was fatigued and focused on Li Jizhou’s next words, was no different from slaying an ordinary Late Stage of Core Formation.

Withered Disc met its end, and the lifebound Gu, the Seven-Colored Butterfly, instantly fell down.

Before it hit the ground, a long tongue had already rolled it up and swallowed it whole.

As for the so-called Divine Gu Hundred Flowers Bee, a few years ago it had suffered backlash from the death of its former master, forcibly re-refined by Withered Disc for allegiance, once again suffering as its master died, its aura plummeted again, and the backlash was even more severe than the Seven-Colored Butterfly.

Li Jizhou originally wanted to seize it, but it was once a Five Transformation Divine Gu; with his current Tier One Gu Skill, he truly didn’t know how to grasp it.

Moreover, both masters had perished, its backlash was severe, and potential nearly exhausted; he simply let Gua Gua swallow it too.

Next moment, Bai Yi flashed, the entire Fire Spirit plunged into Withered Disc’s Sea of Consciousness to prevent its Primordial Spirit from escaping.

Bai Yi’s soul-burning power enveloped its Sea of Consciousness, and through Bai Yi, Li Jizhou could clearly see Withered Disc’s already dwindling Primordial Spirit trembling under Bai Yi’s soul-burning power.

Until everything settled down, Bai Yi trapped Withered Disc’s Primordial Spirit until it regressed into a Divine Soul, melting the Sea of Consciousness; only then did Li Jizhou block the front with Ghost Shadow and Gua Gua, stepping into the array to store its aura, blood essence, and Divine Soul with annual rings.

“Nascent Soul aura and blood essence!” After completing the storage, Li Jizhou felt slightly delighted.

Having Nascent Soul aura and blood essence would reduce many unnecessary troubles in the future.

With a thought, Li Jizhou’s original aura sank, and the aura of the True Monarch of the Withered Disc just stored within the fourth-layer annual rings was released.

In an instant, externally appearing as an ancient named Master, but the aura around had already become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

At this moment, Li Jizhou’s heart had more longing for the Nascent Soul Realm.

Hence the release of the Nascent Soul aura made him feel like this place was dominated by him.

Unfortunately, it was merely a void performance.

Shaking his head lightly with a smile, Li Jizhou collected the storage bag of the True Monarch of the Withered Disc, letting Bai Yi burn out all Divine Soul traces within.

Then a Fire Dragon shot out, turning the site’s traces including Withered Disc’s corpse instantly into flying ash.

After finishing, collecting Bai Yi, Gua Gua, and Ghost Shadow, he flew towards Guzhu City.

The fat worm quickly followed.

Along the way, encountering a group of cultivators, Li Jizhou saw their unsuitable gaze and immediately released the Nascent Soul aura.

That group of cultivators instantly prostrated themselves.

This is the might of Nascent Soul!

Returning shortly to the courtyard, Li Jizhou activated the array before inspecting the storage bag of the True Monarch of the Withered Disc.

This time to welcome back Gua Gua, not expecting to be found by the True Monarch of the Withered Disc, luckily she hadn’t fully healed from her severe wounds, and her realm had fallen, otherwise, it would have been quite dangerous.

To deal with the True Monarch of the Withered Disc, this time nearly half of the trump cards were exhausted.

The spiritual array formed from eighteen treasure talismans was shattered,

The consumption of the three exclusive chessboard arrays,

These were all accumulated by spending considerable Spirit Stones at the beginning.

Li Jizhou held great hope in the storage bag of the Withered Disc True Monarch.

Expecting a return.

The moment the storage bag was opened, Li Jizhou felt satisfied.

Indeed, it was a storage bag of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Although it consumed a lot over the years for healing, Spirit Stones were not favored in the swamp, and he had nowhere to spend them while evading capture by the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

At this moment, there were over ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones in the storage bag.

Additionally, there were various precious materials, mostly Tier Three and above.

Among them were six Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts and one First Grade Spiritual Treasure.

However, that First Grade Spiritual Treasure was a robe type and was already damaged.

Aside from this, most were items related to Poisonous Insect Dao.

Inside were also many cultivation dishes, all used for nurturing insect Gu, but most served as food for the Seven-Colored Butterfly and the Hundred Flowers Bee.

What delighted Li Jizhou the most was the inheritance of Gu Skills, ranging from Tier One to Tier Four.

And the inheritance Jade Talisman clearly bore the mark of the Ten Thousand Gu Hall of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

This was precisely what he needed for the Poisonous Insect Dao inheritance.

“Great!” After properly organizing and storing away the spoils, Li Jizhou calmed himself and focused on studying the memory fragments.

The firsthand experiences of the Nascent Soul True Monarch were something he had longed for.

Soon, through the fourth layer’s annual ring characteristic, Li Jizhou began to read the memory fragments of the Withered Disc.

At the age of ten, he was thrown into a prison cage by his biological father, fighting with fellow children of his clan to establish his Gu heart.

At sixteen, his biological father took his pure Yin and planted a life-bound spiritual Gu.

He reached Foundation Establishment at twenty-five, Core Formation at fifty-eight, cultivated a Tier Three Seven-Colored Butterfly Spirit Gu at a hundred, and realized the cultivation dish was his mother’s flesh and blood.

In the same year, he attempted to assassinate his father, but failed, severely injured, and escaped the swamp, rescued by the Demon Monarch…

…

Upon the Demon Monarch’s kill order, he was pursued to the swamp.

Using a unique treasure bestowed by the Demon Monarch, he tortured his father for revenge, seized the Divine Gu to chase his target, severely injured again, and received another kill order from the Demon Monarch, compelled…

…

After reviewing the main memory nodes, Li Jizhou frowned slightly.

They mostly matched what Yu Ziyu said in the past.

“Demon Monarch!”

Li Jizhou held apprehension towards this great evil of the Demon Sect.

However, the other side persistently issued kill orders.

But now, with the Withered Disc True Monarch dead and soul scattered, and as Yu Ziyu mentioned, the Demon Sect’s diviner did not pinpoint his specific information, only locating him in Qingyin Valley.

Only the Withered Disc True Monarch had noted his aura during the pursuit.

Now, the clues held by the opposing party should be severed.

After pondering for a moment, Li Jizhou shook his head.

No matter whether the opposite party had any clues about him, the Eastern Desolate Southern Domain had already become a perilous place of dragons and tigers, and he wouldn’t get involved.

Now, in Guzhu City, An Liuli is cultivating at the Tier Three Advanced Spirit Vein Dojo here, with the study of Tier Four Gu Skills from the Ten Thousand Gu Hall,

After returning from advancing to Tier Three Late Stage, she could venture out to find cultivation resources and precious materials beneath the swamp’s black water at any time.

It’s wise to cultivate here peacefully!

As for the rapid puppet outside Celestial Secret City, Li Jizhou was no longer concerned.

With her presence, finding treasures in the swamp should not be an issue.

“Master Li, my mistress invites you over!” Just as Li Jizhou sorted out his subsequent plans, An Liuli’s maid softly called from outside the door.

“Understood! I’ll be there shortly.” Li Jizhou withdrew his thoughts; addressing An Liuli’s matter was still relatively crucial.

If An Liuli’s problem wasn’t resolved, providing this sanctuary away from Nascent Soul True Monarch surveillance and equipped with a Tier Three Advanced Spirit Vein, his entire plan would fall through.

Fortunately, An Liuli’s feud was not insignificant, but those who could actually come were merely at the Peak of Core Formation.

Given An Liuli’s recent arrangements, it should not pose significant problems.

Thinking of this, Li Jizhou rose and headed towards the front hall.
