Chapter 739 Even more powerful than the Vermilion Bird's Flame?
"As long as you do not break the Primordial Oath and wholeheartedly protect the Auspicious Realm, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can re-enter the Great Dao Secret Realm to comprehend higher levels of Dao principles and even obtain more Primordial opportunities,"
The Great Dao Will said, "Alright, time is running out. The aura of the Taotie is getting closer and closer. Leave quickly!"
Jiang Wang dared not delay any longer, and quickly nodded. He turned and flew towards the exit of the Great Dao Secret Realm, muttering to himself as he flew: "I know, I know, why are you rushing me? I'm leaving now. Don't let me leave and you get devoured by the Taotie. Then I won't have anyone to pass on my cultivation techniques to me."
The Great Dao Will did not respond again, clearly focusing on dealing with the threat of Taotie. Jiang Wang increased his speed and flew towards the exit. Along the way, he could clearly feel that the primordial energy in the air was becoming thinner and thinner, replaced by a dense and fierce aura. That fierce aura was emanating from Taotie, making people shudder.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but shudder, his voice tinged with lingering fear: "Damn, the ferocity of this Taotie is terrifying! I can feel it even from this distance. If I had really encountered it, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to fight back. Luckily, I listened to the will of the Great Dao and ran away as fast as I could."
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind: [Ding! Detected that the Chaotic Beast Taotie has entered the Auspicious Realm, triggering an emergency mission: Guard the boundary of the Auspicious Realm and prevent Taotie from penetrating deeper into the core area of the Auspicious Realm.]
Task Rewards: +10000 Primordial Enlightenment Points, Cultivation Level Up by 1, Vermilion Bird Eye Power Increased by 50%.
Penalty for failure: All Primordial Enlightenment Points will be deducted, and the Vermilion Bird's Eye will be sealed for one year.
Jiang Wang stopped abruptly, his face full of confusion: "No way? System, are you kidding me? I'm almost at the exit, and you give me an emergency mission? To stop the Taotie? With my cultivation at the early stage of Golden Immortal, going up there would be like being a sitting duck. If I fail, I have to seal the Vermilion Bird's Eye and deduct my comprehension points. You're too ruthless!"
[Ding! Urgent mission, cannot be refused. If the host refuses, it will be considered a violation of system rules and will result in immediate elimination. Please proceed to the border of the Auspicious Realm as soon as possible to carry out the mission.]
"Holy crap! Annihilation? That's way too domineering!"
Jiang Wang was so angry he jumped up and down, his tone full of helplessness and anger, "Fine, fine, I'll go, okay? But system, you have to give me some hints. My cultivation is so low, how could I possibly defeat the Taotie? I can't just go up there and throw my life away, can I?"
[Ding! Tip: Although Taotie is powerful, it has just broken free from suppression and its cultivation has not fully recovered. Moreover, its weakness is between its eyebrows. The host can use the Vermilion Bird Eye to see its weakness and use the Vermilion Bird Fire to attack its brow, which may temporarily repel Taotie.]
Furthermore, the host can comprehend the power of the first two levels of the "Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique," combining the Primordial Chaos Qi with the Vermilion Bird Fire to significantly enhance its power.
Jiang Wang frowned, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "Combining the Primordial Qi and the Vermilion Bird Fire? Will that even work? I've only just grasped the first two levels of the technique and haven't mastered them yet. Besides, Taotie is a Quasi-Saint. Even if I temporarily repel him, I'll have to pay a considerable price, won't I?"
[Ding! Host, no need to worry. The mission only requires you to stop the Taotie from penetrating the core area. You do not need to kill the Taotie. As long as you can repel it, you can complete the mission.]
In addition, the system will temporarily grant the host a Hongmeng Shield, capable of withstanding three full-force attacks from the Taotie, thus helping the host complete the mission.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang felt a little more at ease, and his tone became more confident: "That's more like it. You should have said you had a shield. If you didn't have a shield, I really wouldn't dare to go."
"Alright, I'll head to the border of the Auspicious Realm now. But system, you have to keep your word. The shield has to be strong enough. If I get killed by the Taotie, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
[Ding! Host, rest assured, the Hongmeng Shield is absolutely powerful, capable of withstanding three full-force attacks from a Quasi-Saint. Host only needs to focus on attacking the Taotie's brow.]
Jiang Wang took a deep breath, turned around and flew towards the border of the Auspicious Realm. As he flew, he quickly comprehended the power of the first two levels of the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, merging the Primordial Chaos Qi and the Vermilion Bird Fire within his body. A warm yet domineering power slowly surged within him.
"Hopefully this trick will work,"
Jiang Wang muttered to himself, his eyes hardening. "Taotie, don't push me. If I really fight to the death, even if I can't beat you, I'll still bite off a piece of your flesh!"
Before long, Jiang Wang flew to the border of the Auspicious Realm. In the distance, he saw a huge ferocious beast lying on the edge of the Auspicious Realm, frantically devouring the primordial energy in the air. The beast was pitch black all over, covered with hard scales, with a wolf-like head, eyes like blood jade, and its mouth open, revealing sharp fangs. Thick saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth, emanating a nauseatingly ferocious aura. It was the Chaos Beast Taotie.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but gasp, his voice filled with shock: "Holy crap! This Taotie is huge! It's even more terrifying than I imagined. With that size, it could kill me with a single slap, right? System, are you sure I can defeat it?"
[Ding! Host, there is no need to fear. The Taotie has just broken free from suppression and its cultivation has not yet fully recovered. Moreover, there is a clear weakness between its eyebrows. Host only needs to aim at its brow and release the fused Vermilion Bird Flame to temporarily repel it.]
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth, suppressing his fear, and slowly flew towards Taotie. As he flew, he activated the Vermilion Bird Eye, staring intently at Taotie's brow. Sure enough, he saw a faint point of light at Taotie's brow, emitting a faint aura of primordial chaos, which was incompatible with the surrounding ferocious aura. It was clearly Taotie's weakness.
"found it!"
Jiang Wang was overjoyed, and his tone became more confident, "Taotie, take this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang shot the Vermilion Bird Fire, which was fused with the Primordial Chaos Qi within his body, toward Taotie's brow. A ball of blazing red light, carrying a heavy Primordial Chaos Qi, flew toward Taotie in an instant, as fast as lightning.
The Taotie sensed the attack, abruptly raised its head, and let out a deafening roar, its tone filled with rage: "Where did this little ant come from, daring to disturb this ferocious beast's absorption of primordial energy? You're courting death!"
After the roar, the Taotie raised its huge claws and slammed them down on the Vermilion Bird Fire that Jiang Wang had shot at it. The huge claws were filled with a strong aura of ferocity and instantly struck the Vermilion Bird Fire. With a loud "boom", the Vermilion Bird Fire was shattered into countless sparks and dissipated into the air.
Jiang Wang was jolted back by the shockwave, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His voice was full of shock: "Damn! This Taotie is too powerful! It actually shattered my Vermilion Bird Flame with a single slap. Luckily, I have the Primordial Shield, otherwise it would have killed me."
[Ding! The Harmony Shield successfully blocked one attack. Remaining number of defenses: 2]
The host needs to increase the injection of Primordial Chaos Qi to enhance the power of the Vermilion Bird Fire in order to penetrate the Taotie's defenses and attack its weaknesses. Jiang Wang nodded, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone stubborn: "I understand. It's just increasing the injection of Primordial Chaos Qi, right? I refuse to believe I can't break through your defenses!"
After saying that, Jiang Wang once again activated the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, merging more of the Primordial Chaos Qi into the Vermilion Bird Fire. This time, the Vermilion Bird Fire became even hotter, and its red light was even more dazzling. With a world-destroying power, it shot towards Taotie's brow once more.
A hint of disdain appeared on Taotie's face, his tone full of mockery: "You little ant, still so weak. Even if you increase your strength, you can't hurt this ferocious beast in the slightest. Today, this ferocious beast will devour you first, and then continue to devour the primordial energy of the auspicious realm!"
After saying that, Taotie raised its claws again and slapped them towards the Vermilion Bird Fire. This time, it used all its strength, and the ferocious aura on its claws was even more intense, almost tearing the surrounding air apart.
"Boom—"
With another loud bang, the Vermilion Bird's Fire collided with the Taotie's claws. This time, the Vermilion Bird's Fire was not dispersed, but instead withstood the Taotie's claws. The blazing red light burned the Taotie's claws, causing the Taotie to let out a painful roar.
"Ouch! This beast is in so much pain!"
Taotie's tone was full of pain and anger, "You little ant, how dare you hurt this ferocious beast! Today, this ferocious beast will definitely grind you to dust!"
Jiang Wang revealed a smug look on his face, his tone full of sarcasm: "Taotie, how is it? Does it hurt? I told you not to push me, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know how powerful I am, right? Get out of the Auspicious Realm right now, or I'll continue to attack your weaknesses and make you suffer terribly!"
"dream!"
The Taotie roared, its tone filled with arrogance, "This ferocious beast is a Primordial Beast, how could I be intimidated by a mere ant like you? Today, even if it comes at a price, I will devour you and the entire Primordial Qi of the Auspicious Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taotie's body suddenly swelled up, becoming even larger. Its scales became harder, and the weak point between its brows became more concealed. It opened its huge mouth and sucked hard at Jiang Wang. A powerful devouring force instantly attacked Jiang Wang, trying to devour him directly.
Jiang Wang's expression changed, his voice filled with panic: "Oh no! This devouring power is too strong, I can't resist it at all! System, save me!"
[Ding! The host has been detected to be under a fatal attack. The Hongmeng Shield has been automatically activated to defend against the attack. Remaining defense attempts: 1.]
[Host, seize this opportunity to attack the Taotie's brow! He's unleashing his full devouring power, exposing his weakness—the perfect moment to strike!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang felt a warm power surge from his body, forming an invisible shield that blocked the Taotie's devouring power. He took the opportunity to circulate all the primordial energy in his body and merge it into the Vermilion Bird Fire. He then used all his strength to shoot towards the Taotie's brow.
"Taotie, prepare to die!"
Jiang Wang roared, his tone filled with determination. This time, he held nothing back, pouring all his power into the Vermilion Bird Fire. He knew this was his only chance. If he couldn't defeat Taotie, he would not only fail but also be devoured by Taotie and perish completely.
The Vermilion Bird Fire, carrying world-destroying power, shot towards Taotie's brow in an instant. This time, Taotie was unleashing its full devouring power and had no time to defend itself. The Vermilion Bird Fire struck his brow directly, pierced through his scales, and entered his body.
"what--!"
Taotie let out a shrill roar, its tone filled with pain and despair. Its body trembled violently, and the ferocious aura around it quickly dissipated. Black blood kept gushing from the wound between its brows. It tried to resist, but found that the power within its body was being rapidly burned and devoured by the Vermilion Bird Fire, making it impossible to mobilize.
"No! Impossible! This ferocious beast is a Primordial Beast, how could I possibly be harmed by a mere ant like you?"
Taotie's tone was filled with resentment. He desperately tried to mobilize his power, to devour Jiang Wang, to take revenge on Jiang Wang, but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. The power within his body grew weaker and weaker, and his body shrank smaller and smaller. Finally, he turned into a cloud of black mist and fled towards the edge of chaos, roaring as he fled, "You little ant, I will remember this grudge. When I recover my cultivation, I will definitely come back to avenge you, devour you, and devour the entire Auspicious Realm!"
Jiang Wang watched the Taotie's retreating figure, breathed a sigh of relief, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again, and his voice was full of exhaustion: "Finally... finally we repelled him. I almost died here. That Taotie is too powerful. Luckily, I'm alive and have the help of the system and the will of the Great Dao. Otherwise, I would really be finished."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the emergency mission: Guard the border of the Auspicious Realm and prevent the Taotie from penetrating the core area.]
Mission rewards have been issued: 10000 Primordial Enlightenment Points, cultivation level increased by one (current cultivation level: mid-stage Golden Immortal), and the power of the Vermilion Bird's Eye increased by 50%.
As the system notification faded, Jiang Wang felt a warm, nourishing power surge from within him, healing his injuries. At the same time, his cultivation level rapidly increased, breaking through from the early stage of Golden Immortal to the mid-stage. The primordial energy within his body also became more abundant, and the power of the Vermilion Bird Eye significantly increased. Everything around him became clearer, and he could even see the scene at the edge of chaos.
Jiang Wang slowly stood up, stretched his body, and felt full of power. His tone was full of surprise: "Great! My cultivation has improved to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal, and the Vermilion Bird Eye has also become stronger. Now, even if I encounter Taotie again, I will have the strength to fight. Moreover, I have so many Primordial Enlightenment Points, which can be used to improve my progress in comprehending cultivation techniques."
After saying that, Jiang Wang immediately silently recited in his mind: "System, use 10000 Hongmeng Enlightenment Points to increase the comprehension progress of the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique."
[Ding! Host has used 10000 Primordial Enlightenment Points to increase the comprehension progress of the "Nine Extremes Primordial Technique" by 10%. Current comprehension progress: 12%. The first three levels of the technique have been comprehended, and a new technique skill, Primordial Strike, can be unlocked.]
"Primordial Strike?"
Jiang Wang's eyes lit up, his tone full of curiosity, "Is this skill powerful? How do you use it? Can it be even more powerful than the Vermilion Bird Flame?" (End of Chapter)
