Chapter 521: Chapter 264: I Am the Celestial Demon Lord, Ruler of Poison Dragon Island
As expected, the third leader of the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang was directly controlled by the Celestial Demon Seed.
The Celestial Demon Dao is unfathomable and enigmatic, even cultivators of the Ancient Era turned pale at its mention. When cultivation reaches profound heights, an important tribulation faced is the Celestial Demon Tribulation. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
When a cultivator breaks through the realm, an Outer Realm Celestial Demon comes across from the void, directly projecting into the depths of the heart, causing the cultivator to experience the most primal desires. By exploiting the heart’s vulnerabilities, it undermines their Dao practice, destroying their Daoist practice, causing a life’s worth of cultivation to be ruined in an instant, truly a fearsome phenomenon.
The secret techniques attached to the Celestial Demon Relic are like maggots attached to bones, a product that directly twists thinking, which even Core Formation Cultivators may not necessarily detect, let alone a cultivator at the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion.
Quickly, this person was possessed by the Celestial Demon Seed, and their entire consciousness and thought processes changed. The gaze towards Zheng Yi was unconsciously filled with a hint of fanaticism.
"Subordinate greets the Celestial Demon Lord!"
Zheng Yi put on his hood again, standing in the hall, while behind him, the third leader knelt down respectfully.
According to the third leader’s words, the entire Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang has three Purple Mansion Cultivators. He and the second leader are in the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, and as for the Island Lord, the first leader, his Dao practice is profound beyond measure. Outsiders are unfamiliar with his cultivation because he has been in seclusion for years and seldom makes a move.
However, both of them know clearly that the first leader had occasionally sensed something three years ago, touching upon a hint of inspiration from the void. Although still at the level of Purple Mansion Cultivation, he had barely grasped a sliver of the true essence of a Core Formation Cultivator’s thought, but had not captured the final lifeline, hence had not broken through yet.
Zheng Yi raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
Is this considered reaching a Half-Step Core Formation level?
However, he did not pay much attention to it. Core Formation is Core Formation, Purple Mansion is Purple Mansion; there is an insurmountable chasm between the two.
Without crossing the threshold, and undergoing the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, the distance to truly reaching the Core Formation Realm is worlds apart.
With Zheng Yi’s Divine Soul’s transformation and the methods he employed, although he had some apprehension, it was not significant enough to be concerned about.
With the strength of the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang, it ranks among the top in the One Hundred and Eight Paths Pirate Gangs, securing a place in the top ten, only second to the Eighteen Great Sea Pirate Gangs.
After all, those great pirate gangs have real Core Formation Cultivators presiding over them, making them the most elite forces among the pirate gangs.
In the entire East Origin Sea Region, they are also among the strongest forces.
Correspondingly, the forces based on the thirty-six largest Spirit Vein islands in the East Origin Sea Region have each Island Lord as a grand cultivator with Core Formation Cultivation.
Therefore, in the East Origin Sea Region, the known Core Formation Powers include the Eighteen Great Sea Pirate Gangs and the thirty-six Island Lords, while the number of Core Formation Cultivators in the hidden dark is impossible to tally.
Just from the number of Core Formation Cultivators on paper, it is evident that the strength level of this East Origin Sea Region far surpasses the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.
If the entire power of the East Origin Sea Region were to be united, sweeping across the entire Great Yi City Immortal Realm would perhaps not be difficult.
Zheng Yi, after drifting on the seabed for three years, deeply understands this point.
In this East Origin Sea Region, it is not just the variety of spiritual objects on the seabed, but the overall concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi alone is more than double that of the Great Yi City Immortal Realm in quality.
The quality of its Spirit Veins is beyond compare.
Of course, the Great Yi City Immortal Realm once birthed Nascent Soul Stage great powers. Whether it’s the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect or the several Righteous Dao Core Formation Sects, they all have a long heritage, possessing Nascent Soul Level Spiritual Treasures passed down from ancestors, their combat power is another matter.
Nevertheless, this sea region is no land of gentle souls.
Within the sea region, Spirit Origins are abundant, and the resources are rich.
From ancient times to present, disputes between various Spirit Islands have never ceased. Everywhere are pirates, filled with war and plunder, making it an extremely chaotic and contentious sea region.
...
After using the Celestial Demon Seed to directly control the third leader, Zheng Yi learned about the second leader and the first leader from his mouth.
"Elder brother and second brother are both in seclusion, seeking the opportunity to break through the Purple Mansion Realm,"
the third leader of the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang said without any concealment.
He directly betrayed his two sworn brothers.
In fact, the ranking among the One Hundred and Eight Paths Pirate Gangs cannot necessarily reflect the true strength of each pirate gang because some always hide their strength.
Like some other pirate gangs, the number of leaders has already reached as many as seven or eight, unlike the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang, which has only three leaders in total, and their individual strength is quite formidable.
So, based on the ranking of individual strength, the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang’s strength is enough to rank at the forefront.
As the first leader of the Poison Dragon Island Pirate Gang, "Red Demon Ao" Kui Ma, who is also the Island Lord of Poison Dragon Island, this Half-Step Core Formation Cultivator is already at the edge of touching the Core Formation Realm and is slowly seeking the opportunity for advancement.
This person is unwilling to remain ranked among the One Hundred and Eight Paths Pirate Gangs but hopes to establish a new foundation through advancing into the Core Formation Realm.
Once the first leader Red Demon Ao Kui Ma succeeds, the Poison Dragon Pirate Gang will naturally rise along with it, and joining the ranks of the Nineteenth Great Pirate Gang would be no dream.
After all, cultivators are different from ordinary people, with great power attributed to oneself.
Other wealth and influence are merely auxiliary.
Therefore, Red Demon Ao Kui Ma remains in seclusion for years, and most matters on the island are handled by the third leader Duxin Hand Yi Boxiong.
