Free Web NovelChapter 555: Chapter 281: Battle of Core Formation
The air trembled, and two powerful auras, suppressed by Zheng Yi’s Divine Soul Power, both emitted a sound of surprise and doubt.
The Core Formation Stage Cultivation was stimulated and revealed itself in the void.
One person was dressed in luxurious attire, his figure majestic, though his face was old, he carried an aura of nobility; standing there, the surrounding sea waves retreated, with surging tides embracing his body, just like an Immortal walking on the sea, with a faint smile on his aged face.
Canglang Technique.
Fourth Heaven Realm.
Even among the Thirty-Six Islands of the East Origin Sea Region, it is considered a renowned Water Element Immortal Technique.
The other person was clad in a black robe, seemingly made from the leather of some Sea Giant Beast, with faint scale patterns, and a sturdy build with fierce eyes, giving a palpable sense of overwhelming pressure.
But the most distinctive feature was the head of this person, growing a lump on the right temple, resembling a small human head with faint outlines of eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
"Young fellow, not bad. Though you have not reached Core Formation, what means have you employed to force us to reveal ourselves..."
"That Old Ghost Gongye and I are not on the same side. If you hadn’t forced him out, we Double-headed Flood Dragon would not have noticed that besides myself, another person lurks in the shadows..."
"However, it’s known that Exotic Treasures belong to the virtuous. You are strong, but such a treasure is beyond your grasp. Although I, the Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, am notorious for my ferocity, my word is my bond. Hand over the treasure, and I promise you will leave safely today!"
"Otherwise, though Old Ghost Gongye is alleged to be a paragon of the Righteous Dao, we know each other’s true nature. He is truly a person who eats others up leaving nothing behind. If you get on his radar, not even a scrap will be left for you..."
The robust middle-aged man, his voice rolling like thunder, spoke directly, glancing at the opulent elder opposite, sneeringly.
As a Core Formation Cultivator, albeit only a Lower Three Grades Void Core, he carries the bearing of a Core Formation Cultivator.
The Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng had just witnessed the thunderous changes firsthand, naturally knowing Zheng Yi as a tough bone to chew, but also realizing that Zheng Yi, despite his vast aura, had yet to cross the final step into Core Formation.
So he was relieved, not taking it entirely to heart.
Those not in Core Formation are all ants.
This is common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.
No matter how powerful a Purple Mansion Daoist is, with profound heritage, he usually can’t be a match for a Core Formation Cultivator.
Even if this Core Formation Cultivator is just a mere Lower Three Grades Void Core True Man, he is an unattainable mountain for a Purple Mansion Daoist.
The gap between the layers is too wide.
Thus in the mind of the Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, the mysterious and powerful means of Zheng Yi further proved that he possesses an Exotic Treasure.
It’s precisely relying on the majesty of this Exotic Treasure that he can exhibit such grandiose power, even shocking a Core Formation Cultivator like him.
However, Exotic Treasures are best appreciated depending on whose hands they are in. Using external objects to contend with Core Formation Cultivators is innately at a disadvantage.
Thus the tone of Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng still carried a hint of a firm attitude.
The underlying threat was self-evident.
"Young brother, Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng is a notorious pirate king, usually a killing machine. How credible are his words, young brother, you may want to weigh it carefully."
"The choice is yours, consider it well."
The elder beside heard the words of Double-headed Flood Dragon Zhong Sheng, not angry but instead turned his eyes to Zheng Yi, speaking with a close attitude.
His appearance was kindly, old beyond measure, with a smile on his face, appearing quite sincere.
Faced with these two individuals, although Zheng Yi seemed to have locked the two in, he was actually caught between them as they flanked him in attack.
The two, one righteous and one evil, though their words clashed, even possessing gaps, cooperated seamlessly as they spoke, executing just right.
Front and back, subtly shifting steps, they had already blocked all of Zheng Yi’s retreat.
Saying they bore good intentions, Zheng Yi was the first not to believe.
So he glanced at the two lightly, only slightly furrowing his brow, his expression calm, speaking.
"To take without permission is thievery."
"To forcefully coerce is banditry!"
"The two of you are neither thieves nor bandits. Your mouths are full of noble intentions, but your deeds are sneaky tricks, making me a bit disappointed with the Core Formation Cultivators of the East Origin Sea Region..."
"Exotic Treasure?! Isn’t it right here?!"
As Zheng Yi’s words fell, a glow rose behind him. Amidst the streams of radiance, a thunderous star hung in the sky, gradually expanding into a shadow behind him.
It was as if the laurel tree of Guanghan Palace spread its towering branches across the sky, adorned with seven Star Origins like crystal-clear Seven Treasures nested within.
The Seven Marvelous Treasure Tree, tempered by thunder, had become brighter and more lustrous, gradually displaying a mysterious light, as a verdant treasure tree sprouted from the void. The Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, Immortal-Slaying Gourd, Five-Colored Peak, Five-Flame Divine Dragon Canopy, and other seven distinct Magical Treasures, all were extraordinary, hanging from the tree branches like stars, emitting pure star light, appearing dreamlike, mesmerizing the gaze.
Even these two Core Formation Cultivators of distinguished identities were also entranced, their gaze confused, somewhat shocked.
