132: Jialuo: This humble woman is willing to repay your kindness with a thousandfold gratitude!
In an instant, the nine-headed dragon's clones disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.
"puff!"
The Azure Water Dragon coughed up blood as it suffered a backlash, and its aura immediately weakened, clearly indicating that it had suffered extremely serious injuries and was powerless to resist.
A shower of star-like sword energy rained down, piercing the massive body of the Azure Water Dragon and exacerbating its injuries.
Blood kept spilling from the enormous body of the Azure Water Dragon, its flesh torn and mangled, a truly gruesome sight, as it plummeted rapidly from a height of ten thousand feet.
"Boom!"
After the deafening roar, a giant crater more than a hundred feet deep was smashed out thousands of miles away. The earth trembled violently once again, stirring up countless flying sand and stones, filling the sky with dust.
The majestic Buddha's true form gradually faded away, and the strange phenomena that had enveloped the endless void for tens of thousands of miles also dissipated.
After a long while, the scorching sun shone through the clouds onto the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, and the world was finally clear again.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a fleeting dream, with only the densely packed corpses of monsters on the ground telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
The Azure Water Dragon suffered a backlash and was severely injured. It was also killed by his own Star Sword Qi. Now was the best time to deal with it, and Jiang Che would naturally not let this opportunity pass.
With a flash, he appeared before the pit thousands of miles away, looking down at the dying Azure Water Dragon with an inscrutable expression.
I originally thought that since this guy was able to transform into a dragon, he must have some tricks up his sleeve. But now it seems that he was just making things up.
Although the Azure Water Dragon possesses the ability to create clones, summon wind and rain, spit out clouds and mist, and control heaven and earth, it is no match for Jiang Che's Tathagata Palm. This is only because Jiang Che did not use the Five Elements Great Escape Divine Power.
Otherwise, this battle would not have lasted so long; in the blink of an eye, the Azure Water Dragon and its subordinates would have been wiped out.
This was the first time Jiang Che had used the Tathagata Palm technique since acquiring it, and he was somewhat surprised.
It's no wonder it's a purple-grade divine ability; it's incredibly powerful!
If even purple-level supernatural abilities can possess such astonishing power, what terrifying effects would the Purple Gold, which ranks above gold, have when it unleashes the Five Elements Great Escape?
Even with his current peak Nascent Soul cultivation, he can still unleash such power with the Tathagata Palm.
What kind of power would one have if their cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Void Refinement stage?
The supernatural abilities randomly generated by the system required no deliberate cultivation from Jiang Che; he could instantly reach the perfect level.
As one's cultivation level continues to improve, the power of one's supernatural abilities will also increase.
In that instant, Jiang Che suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated his own terrifying combat power and should reassess it.
.....................
With his mind wandering, Jiang Che turned his gaze back to the Azure Water Dragon in the pit, lost in thought.
Jiang Che was extremely envious of the Azure Water Dragon's supernatural power to summon wind and rain.
If he kills this beast now, he will have a chance to randomly plunder this supernatural power from it.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Che slowly raised the Jinghong Sword in his hand, held it horizontally over the abyss, and stared coldly at the huge body of the Azure Water Dragon, his killing intent spreading endlessly.
The Jinghong Sword also sensed its master's killing intent, and its blade emitted a series of buzzing sounds, the sword's cry resounding through the sky, indicating extreme excitement.
The divine sword has a spirit. Since following Jiang Che, the Jinghong Sword has never had the opportunity to wreak havoc without restraint. Now, slaying countless demonic beasts is exhilarating and makes her feel incredibly good!
(The Blade & Soul character will later transform into a female character; don't worry, the author will avoid any triggers.)
"Please...don't kill me!"
"Spare my life, and I'll be your lackey!"
"I would serve you faithfully, even unto death!"
"I can be your mount. Don't you think it's really cool to tame a dragon as your mount?"
Sensing the boundless killing intent emanating from Jiang Che, the Azure Water Dragon completely panicked, uttered human words, and began to beg for mercy incessantly.
At this moment, the Azure Water Dragon abandoned all its pride as the Demon King of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, bowing and scraping like a lapdog begging its master for forgiveness after making a mistake.
The Azure Dragon knew that begging for mercy offered a sliver of hope; otherwise, it would truly die.
Even ants cling to life. After cultivating and gaining sentience, it roamed the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range for a thousand years. It hadn't had enough of enjoying itself, so naturally it didn't want to die easily.
As long as I can escape with my life today, I will endure the humiliation and hardship, and there will always be a day when I can take revenge!
Although she secretly wished she could skin the human cultivator with her eyes open, tear out his tendons, eat his flesh raw, and humiliate him to death, the Azure Water Dragon was also well aware of the situation she was facing and dared not reveal her thoughts at all.
"I'll spare your life?"
"You're really joking..."
"Would the mighty Demon King of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range have such naive and childish thoughts?"
"I always like to nip problems in the bud, and I don't have the habit of leaving myself with future troubles..."
Jiang Che chuckled lightly, his tone sarcastic, as if mocking the naivety of the Azure Water Dragon.
Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.
Besides, he had almost slaughtered all the monsters in the entire Hundred Beast Mountain Range, so how could the Azure Water Dragon be willing to submit to him?
Furthermore, although this Azure Water Dragon is indeed a dragon, its appearance is extremely ugly and terrifying. Jiang Che couldn't bring himself to take in such an ugly creature as a mount.
After saying that, Jiang Che didn't give the Azure Water Dragon any chance to struggle or resist.
His aura erupted, his oppressive power covering the void for tens of thousands of miles, sealing the heavens and earth, cutting off all escape routes for the Azure Water Dragon, and his divine sense locked onto the Azure Water Dragon's massive body in the deep pit.
He channeled his Nascent Soul's magical power, raised his hand, and unleashed the Swift Swallow Sword, which shot out and plunged straight in, instantly shattering the Azure Water Dragon's heart and severing all the meridians within its body.
The Azure Water Dragon was severely injured and on the verge of death. It was difficult for it to even climb out of the deep pit, so it was naturally unable to withstand his devastating attack.
The Jinghong Sword easily finished off the peerless demon king who had been terrorizing and dominating the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.
The Azure Water Dragon's eyes widened, seemingly not expecting Jiang Che to act so decisively. Before it could even utter a word, it was already lifeless, its light dimming completely, and it was utterly dead.
The illusory soul of the Azure Water Dragon soon left the body uncontrollably and hovered above the corpse.
Although it was still enormous, its spirit was exceptionally dim, making it nothing more than a hollow shell.
"Spare me..."
The Azure Dragon wanted to continue begging for mercy, unwilling to die so easily.
If the body is lost, it can be rebuilt by finding a suitable new body. However, if the soul is destroyed, there is truly no possibility of resurrection.
Jiang Che didn't give him a chance to say anything more. He casually grabbed the illusory soul of the Azure Water Dragon in his hand and crushed it!
"So noisy..."
Having completely dealt with the Azure Water Dragon, Jiang Che finally felt a sense of peace and quietly exhaled a breath of stale air.
With the sword sheathed, he casually swung it, storing the enormous body of the Azure Water Dragon directly into the system space.
A fifth-tier peak demon beast is a treasure trove. This evil dragon has considerable cultivation. Its crystal core can be used for refining weapons and pills, and eating its meat can also greatly increase one's cultivation, saving months of arduous training.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting cultivation resources, Jiang Che naturally wouldn't let go of the Azure Water Dragon's body and planned to take it back to cook into various delicacies.
After all, he had previously forced Diao Chan, Yun Ying, and other women to swallow the pills so as not to waste a single bit of cultivation resources.
Having taught and imparted knowledge repeatedly, Jiang Che had long since become a qualified teacher and would naturally set an example by his own conduct.
Time is frozen within the system space, so even if the Azure Water Dragon's body is stored for ten thousand years, it will not decay in the slightest, so Jiang Che is naturally not worried.
..............................
After dealing with the Azure Water Dragon's body, Jiang Che finally had time to examine his various gains from this trip.
Having slaughtered all the demonic beasts in the entire Hundred Beast Mountain Range, Jiang Che naturally reaped a rich harvest, obtaining a bunch of messy and varied entries from these demonic beasts.
The entries below the blue level were completely useless to Jiang Che at the moment, so he didn't bother to take a second look at them and instead sorted out the various blue and above entries he had acquired.
The blue entries include terms such as "forged through countless trials," "eagle's roar," "fierce beast's roar," and "blazing flames."
The cyan entries are: [Unparalleled Hardness], [Body of Steel], and [Ghostly Blue Eyes]
The red entries are 【Netherworld Purple Flame】【Beast Flame】】【Qilin Fire】. These three red entries were all dropped from the three fourth-tier peak demon generals, and they are the bloodline supernatural abilities they each possess.
Coincidentally, all of them are talent attributes related to fire. If they are combined, they can create a brand new supernatural ability attribute!
After the attributes obtained from hunting monsters are merged and upgraded, if they are special supernatural attribute attributes, Jiang Che will not need to cultivate them. He can master them all in an instant through the system's empowerment, saving him countless years of hard work. This is the heaven-defying nature of the system!
The [Summoning Wind and Rain] attribute that appeared on the Azure Water Dragon was also just a red-level attribute. Although it wasn't the most powerful attribute on the Azure Water Dragon, Jiang Che was already quite satisfied.
After all, he has no shortage of purple attributes now. His various cultivation talents are fully stacked, and he also has supernatural attributes such as the Five Elements Escape Technique, Taiyi Sword Art, and Tathagata Palm.
Although summoning wind and rain is not the most powerful divine ability of the Azure Water Dragon, it is something that Jiang Che is most interested in.
Commanding the wind and rain—this is the epitome of a deity in the eyes of ordinary people.
With such supernatural abilities by your side, you're better than a god, and it's really effective for showing off.
Of course, this can only be done in front of ordinary people or cultivators with low cultivation levels.
In front of a true master, he can tell at a glance whether you have real skills or not.
Although this supernatural power of summoning wind and rain sounds extremely lofty, its practical effect is just so-so. Its greatest function is only to summon heavenly thunder, which is somewhat similar to the Five Elements and Five Thunders that Jiang Che cultivated before. It is far inferior to the Thunder and Lightning King Sikong Zhen.
Although the Azure Water Dragon's ability to create clones that grant the clones any of the original's supernatural powers and replicate its cultivation level is more powerful, Jiang Che has little interest in it.
Having clones is a no-no!
Even if the clone has no independent consciousness, Jiang Che does not want to cultivate similar supernatural powers.
Seeing someone who looks exactly like him, has the same temperament and even the same cultivation level, Jiang Che instinctively feels very uncomfortable.
Even though this supernatural power was extremely remarkable, he had no interest in it whatsoever.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Jiang Che sheathed the Jinghong Sword and began communicating directly with the system in his mind.
"System, fuse and upgrade [Forged Through a Thousand Hammers], [Unparalleled Hardness], [Iron Body], and [Immovable King]..."
"Fuse and upgrade the [Netherworld Ghost Fire], [Beast Flame], and [Qilin Fire]..."
"Received the [Summoning Wind and Rain] entry empowerment..."
For Jiang Che, this training trip to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range was truly fruitful.
