hao Yanzi, he was still moved by Zhao Hongyu's parental heart.He could actually understand Zhao Yanzi’s feelings. When he was young, his parents were busy with work and paid him very little attention....Chapter 785: A Single Cudgel

Zhen Ciming was taken out of the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons by Qiu Niu and followed Qiu Niu to cultivate, swallowing transformation pills without experiencing much tribulation to reach the transformation stage, transforming into a child's form.

Afterward, however, instead of hurriedly teaching him techniques, Qiu Niu had him tend fires and refine elixirs to temper his willpower. As such, Zhen Ciming’s realm was about the same as that of newly cultivated dragon cultivators—barely reaching the Shaking Rank.

But if Zhen Cuming were to transform into his true form, he would be so formidable that even core formation cultivators above the Fifth Layer Sky wouldn’t dare provoke him! He could easily wipe out those core formation cultivators!

This was because he was a top-tier demon beast—a Black Qilin!

Beasts in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons would stay far away from Zhen Ciming, for no one was his match! He had yet to transform and already reached the Five-Petal Lotus realm!

The sole son of two demon kings—the Green Qilin and the Fire Phoenix!

It was precisely because he would stir up heaven and earth when transforming that Qiu Niu set a strict rule: he must never change into his true form at will, or else face severe punishment.

Hence, after Zhen Ciming transformed, he no longer changed forms. He obediently acted as a child and stole medicinal ingredients from cultivation sects using magical treasures to quickly escape; he would never clash with core formation cultivators head-on.

But now, Zhen Ciming’s arrogant nature reemerged in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons!

The Black Qilin could naturally ride on clouds and spit lightning. If Zhen Ciming were to cultivate as a human, reaching full-stage core formation realm and passing through celestial tribulations, he would become a great demon king directly at the Seven-Petal Lotus realm.

A Black Qilin of the Seven-Petal Lotus realm was endowed with world-destroying might! It was because Qiu Niu feared that Zhen Ciming would cause trouble that he didn’t teach him techniques and slowed his advancement in realms.

"Alright, alright, alright! Kill one upon sight!"

Yazi waved the battle axe, cutting out a long black void. This shattered space would tear apart cultivators it came into contact with!

Hum!

The Green Qilin’s horns emitted two balls of green light, countering this incoming black void.

"Get back!" He roared at the transformed Black Qilin—Zhen Ciming.

Even if Zhen Ciming were a small demon king and changed into his true form, he would still only be at the Five-Petal Lotus realm. Faced with Yazi of the Eight-Petal Lotus realm, it was sheer suicide!

If Zhen Ciming could hide and cultivate to reach a great demon king’s realm, reaching the Seven-Petal Lotus realm, he might have a chance for revenge! At least he wouldn’t be so easily killed by Yazi.

Qin Lang transforming into the Green Qilin to clash with Yazi was nothing more than buying time to let Zhen Fei take Zhen Ciming away!

But Zhen Ciming had a stubborn nature like his mother. He would stand firm for those he liked and fight to the death against those he hated!

The Black Qilin spat out a sheet of lightning, resembling a surging sea wave rolling toward Yazi.

This kind of demon lightning was fatal upon contact for demons in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons. Even Transcendental realm cultivators encountering a Black Qilin’s demon lightning would hurry to dodge.

"Die!"

Yazi swung his battle axe, directly shaking the Green Qilin out hundreds of meters away.

The nine deputy chamber masters of the Dragon Temple couldn’t even get close. The trailing edge of that black void shattered four deputy chamber masters’ magical treasures.

A sheet of black lightning enveloped Yazi’s body.

Humph!

Yazi shook his body, and these lightnings slid off like broken black nets.

The demon beast lightning from a Five-Petal Lotus Black Qilin couldn’t hurt him at all! Perhaps it could kill great demon kings of the Five-Petal Lotus realm with ease, but dealing with this type of primordial dragon class Eight-Petal Lotus sky dragon was sheer folly!

As the giant battle axe swung out, it suddenly extended and slammed heavily onto the Black Qilin’s back.

Zhen Ciming’s black scales splattered, revealing a patch of fresh red flesh as he was smashed far toward the sea surface.

Yazi would even attack his own nephew-grandson!

The Green Qilin had already broken its horns. Seeing that neither father nor son could match Yazi, it suddenly saw Hao Ren still hovering in mid-air and shot over to him with a whoosh.

It seemed only Hao Ren could injure Yazi now!

Hao Ren used the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle to perform the "Eight Directions Heaven-Defying Absolute Death Formation." He had yet to recover his strength, but Zhen Ciming rushed out just in time to draw Yazi’s attention.

Zhen Ciming was now battered and bruised by Zhijiu's massive battle axe, but Hao Ren raised all his spiritual energy to activate the Sword Formation again when he suddenly found himself lifted up!

Green Qilin!

The Green Qilin, the World Demon King of the Lotus with six petals, would rather become Hao Ren's steed and fight alongside him against Zhijiu!

To illustrate, Moqilin, a Qilin from the Lotus with five petals, was covered in scales that were more durable than top-tier magical treasures. Yet, Zhijiu’s massive battle axe almost split Zhen Ciming's body right down the middle!

Such an attack would be instant death for cultivators who aren’t妖獸之軀(demon beasts), even for those from the Lotus with six petals.

On the other hand, Zhijiu’s defensive capabilities were formidable. With his body of a Zulong from the Lotus with eight petals, even the most powerful magical treasures would be rendered ineffective!

The only thing that could break through Zhijiu's adamantine body was Heaven’s First Divine Iron—The Needle That Stabilizes The Sea!

Hao Ren felt himself fly up as Green Qilin carried him at an incredible speed. His horns had already been chopped off by Zhijiu's battle axe, and his blood kept spurting out of the wounds and onto Hao Ren’s body.

Hao Ren felt a surge of vitality, with spiritual energy flowing into his body continuously. It was Green Qilin from the Lotus with six petals who was sending him spiritual energy to let Hao Ren control The Needle That Stabilizes The Sea to attack Zhijiu!

"Lock!"

The nine deputy chambermasters stood in different positions and each sent out a beam of light.

With their realm from the Lotus with three petals, they didn’t dare engage Zhijiu in close combat. So, they flew to various locations to set up Longshen Palace’s "Heavenly Lock Formation"!

Using the combined strength of nine deputy chambermasters, this “Heavenly Lock Formation” could capture a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, which was a contingency plan for dealing with the counterattacks from other cultivation sects.

However, instead of locking human cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, they used it on Zhijiu, who was a bloodthirsty Zulong!

Nine rings of light formed and locked Zhijiu’s limbs.

"You’re asking for death!" Zhijiu's eyes bulged as he released his furious spiritual energy.

Green Qilin carried Hao Ren, leaving a trail of green light as it charged towards Zhijiu.

The Dragon Clan cultivators at Donghai University were stunned to see their "president", Hao Ren, sitting on the back of a green Qilin and charging forward with a golden spear against Zhijiu, who was radiating sinister black energy!

Bang!

Before the nine deputy chambermasters could truly lock Zhijiu down, they were all blasted away.

The three lower-ranked Upper Heaven Rank cultivators bled profusely and died on the spot.

Yue Zilong was at the peak of Heaven Rank with a martial path background. His physique was strong enough to withstand the shock, but he still fell into the sea; his fate uncertain.

The remaining five Heaven Rank cultivators floated like kites cut from their strings, falling far away.

This formation meant to lock human cultivators at four petals was now being used on a bloodthirsty god of slaughter with eight petals. These minor three-petal cultivators were asking for death by defying him!

Bang… Six Heaven Rank peak deputy chambermasters exploded like bombs as the spiritual energy from the formation suddenly reversed and blasted them apart.

Only the physical body cultivator, Yue Zilong, managed to survive with just his limbs shattered and falling into the sea.

"Vermin!" Zhijiu’s eyes blazed in fury.

In his view, all below six petals were insignificant vermin who deserved death for daring to challenge him!

"Go!"

Hao Ren, seething with rage, launched The Needle That Stabilizes The Sea from the palm of his hand.

A formation of a single long snake!

Hao Ren returned to basics and activated the most fundamental formation!

Countless clones of The Needle That Stabilizes The Sea formed an endless golden line, piercing towards Zhijiu!

"Humph! Demon energy surrounds this place. Kill them all!"

Zhijiu raised his battle axe like a mountain and slashed straight at Hao Ren. Just touching the ethereal blade would instantly turn even six-petal cultivators to pieces!

The Dragon Clan cultivator here actually dares to go against him! He is not the elder brother Qiong Niu; he doesn’t have such a good temper!

I will exterminate everyone in the East Sea Dragon Palace and also kill all ordinary people within ten thousand miles!

Until the sky turns dark and light disappears, this is the power granted to him by heaven as the God of Murder.

Fzz... The Needle That Stabilizes the Sea pierced through the black broadsword-like weapon, like a needle piercing an axe, splitting into two and shooting towards Yi Zi's eyes.

Only the Needle That Stabilizes the Sea can break through Yi Zi’s giant battle-axe!

Bang!

Suddenly, Yi Zi opened his eyes wide, and the Needle That Stabilizes the Sea that had approached in front of him suddenly changed direction!

His intense killing intent actually forced back the Needle That Stabilizes the Sea!

"Go!"

Hao Ren sat on the azure Kirin's back and instantly leaped over the broadsword-like weapon, moving to Yi Zi’s head. The dense golden sword light suddenly condensed into a round stick.

Hao Ren grabbed one end of this stick; the Heavenly Water Sword Technique’s overwhelming sword intent suddenly burst forth!

Using the staff as a sword!

A blow landed on Yi Zi's head!

The time seemed to freeze.

Lu Qi and others at Donghai University were dumbstruck.

Zhen Fei and Kui, who remained in the hospital ward, also blankly gazed at the high sky outside the window.

Hao Ren actually used the Needle That Stabilizes the Sea to hit Yi Zi’s head!

Peng... The two black horns on top of Yi Zi's head instantly shattered.

The wild power of the Needle That Stabilizes the Sea surged out abruptly.

Yi Zi was directly smashed towards the sea surface!

The ink-black Kirin that had been lurking in the ocean suddenly emerged, colliding with Yi Zi's waist. Strike a snake at its seven-inch spot; kill a wolf by striking its loins.

Zhen Cangming put all his strength into this attack, intending to directly slay Yi Zi!

"Ao..." Yi Zi suddenly turned around in anger and grabbed the ink-black Kirin with one hand.

He was the strongest primordial dragon among the nine dragons; he had been smashed until his horns shattered! He... wanted to tear Hao Ren apart alive!

And this little evil seed bumped into his palm first, so he would tear him apart first!

With Yi Zi’s formidable strength, he could directly rip the ink-black Kirin, who was a Five Lotus Flower cultivator, to pieces.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Twin rays of light suddenly burst out from Donghai Hospital and simultaneously attacked Yi Zi.

One of them was Kui, the other Zhen Fei!

They were giving Su Han and her grandmother’s qi a boost; seeing that it wasn’t working, they had no choice but to intervene!

Kui was a Water Dragon cultivator at the Five Lotus Flower stage, while Zhen Fei was a Fire Phoenix cultivator at the Six Lotus Flower stage.

Kui needed to protect Su Han and also take revenge for the nine vice-palace masters; as for Zhen Fei, she wanted to settle both new and old grievances!

They flew into the sky and charged towards Yi Zi side by side.

Their paths had crossed before, but this was their first time working together in battle.

In the past, Su Han’s mother, possessing incomparable talent, reached celestial immortality after only hundreds of years of cultivation. With her fearless character, she charged into the Sea of a Thousand Demons and rushed straight to the inner sea, but ended up colliding with Zhen Fei's territory.

Zhen Fei easily defeated Su Rui with six moves, thanks to her realm of the Six-petaled Lotus as the Demon King. She found Su Rui's silly nature rather endearing and thus sent her out of Wan妖海 (Wan妖 is a transliteration that doesn’t have an exact meaning in English).

By chance, when Zhen Fei used to leave Wan妖海, she had once fought with a Heavenly Dragon named “Kui” outside. She then decided to play a trick on him and sent Su Rui to Kui's cultivation place, adding just a bit of powder to her.

Subsequently, Kui fell in love with the beautiful yet spoiled Su Rui, but he had to break through to the Six-petaled Lotus realm and manage the Dragon God Temple. He could not accompany Su Rui wandering freely around the world, so she left out of frustration after brooding for a hundred years before giving birth to Su Han.

Su Rui was unwilling to hand over her golden and water dual-attribute son, Su Han, to the Gold Dragon, nor did she want to reveal her identity. After much deliberation, she abandoned Su Han at the entrance of Donghai Palace, known for its reputation of "benevolence."

She didn't want to raise Su Han because according to the Gold Dragon's beliefs, children grow strong only through hardship and struggle. She herself had grown up in various nightmare-like training sessions; thus, she couldn’t raise a child properly, thinking it better for Su Han to grow up at Donghai Palace.

It was due to Su Rui and Kui’s falling out that one of them swore never to speak again while the other vowed never to leave the temple. The couple quarreled for a hundred years.

If not for Su Han's severe injuries, and the sudden changes in heaven and earth, Kui might have remained inside his Dragon God Temple indefinitely!

Zhen Fei knew all about these events; indeed, she was the instigator of them. Yet, she never expected that her unintentional mischief would lead to Su Rui developing feelings for Kui and giving birth to a baby Heavenly Dragon.

Now, despite not having sought revenge on Zhen Fei, Kui followed her in fighting off their enemy!

"Attack!"

Kui's hands emitted infinite brilliance.

Six-petaled Lotus!

Kui suddenly revealed his realm of the Six-petailed Lotus!

Zhen Fei was slightly surprised, never imagining that Kui, with his Heavenly Dragon status, could advance to the Sixth-petaled Lotus Realm after several hundred years of cultivation in the Dragon God Temple.

Everyone in this family is a fanatic cultivator!

"Go!" Zhen Fei's two palms blazed. Two phoenix-shaped flames flew out of her hands.

A World-Devouring Sky Phoenix!

The left eye of Yazi saw infinite white light, while the right saw endless flames!

Two cultivators at the Sixth-petaled Lotus realm worked together; there were also a Green Qilin and a Black Qilin from the Fifth-petaled Lotus realm, along with an Elemental Cultivator from the Fourth-petaled Lotus realm who could control the Needle Stabilizing the Sea!

Yazi suddenly seized the bloodied Black Qilin and placed it in front of him.

"Let go!" Zhen Fei suddenly attacked Kui.

Yazi didn't dodge or evade, using his cousin's Black Qilin body as a shield. Kui’s boundless true water struck; the Black Qilin was about to be dissolved!

Kui hadn’t expected Zhen Fei’s sudden attack and could only fight her with one move.

Boom... Water and fire collided... The intense shockwave caused the sea surface to sink dozens of meters, and buildings near the shore collapsed entirely!

Luckily, due to a whirlpool appearing in the sea, citizens near the shoreline had been forcibly evacuated by officials, avoiding casualties.

Even hastily retracting their spiritual energy after clashing, this aftermath was enough to destroy an entire city!

"I'll kill this little bastard first and then fight you guys!"

Yazi pressed down on the blood-soaked back of the Black Qilin, his eyes blazing. His horns were broken but looked even more fearsome.

The four hooves of Green Qilin emitted green flames, working in tandem with Hao Ren for their final offensive assault.

While Bai Ze stood on the rooftop of the hospital hesitating whether to join in, countless golden rays suddenly shot up from within.

Emerging alongside these rays were pure gold six-stage Snow Lions!

Zhao Yanzǐ holding Purple-Blue Treasure Sword and Xie Yujia carrying a copper-colored demon bow emerged along with Zhao Guang, Zhao Hongyu, Lu Qing, Sun Yun, all flying out of the hospital.

From the sea surface rose the troops from Donghai Palace led by six peak Qian-level gold dragon cultivators and countless gold dragons!

The young dragon tribe cultivators from Donghai University had also risen to help!s: dribbling. Dribbling is not just about hitting the ball."Bending down to lower her center of gravity, she put one arm in front of her body as a defensive posture, then skillfully pressed the basket...
