Chapter 580: Chapter 578: Flying Star Spot
Ning Daoran retracted his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, furrowing his brows slightly. Up ahead, there was indeed a Spirit Boat carrying a group of Human Clan cultivators out on a monster-slaying expedition, which was now under siege by a horde of demon beasts. Leading these beasts was shockingly a Nascent Soul Early Stage Flying Star Spot.
This demon beast was notorious and had long been listed in the intelligence network of Guiru City.
“When traveling far, it is only right to lend a hand when encountering such situations.”
Ning Mingyu pursed her red lips, then turned to Ning Daoran. “Brother, what do you say?”
“Hmm.”
Ning Daoran stood up and said, “Let’s get closer and investigate. If it’s rely a single Nascent Soul Early Stage demon beast, it won’t pose much of a threat. We might as well take this opportunity sent our way.”
“Alright!”
At Longque Wanderer’s command, the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat surged forward at full speed, quickly closing in on a large ship just ahead.
…
Ning Daoran stepped to the bow of the boat, one hand clasped behind his back, observing every detail on the ship ahead with absolute clarity.
At this mont, the sea churned violently. A massive creature stood amidst the waters—the Nascent Soul Early Stage Flying Star Spot. This fish demon had cultivated into a spirit form for years. Its upper body was covered in spotted patterns, appearing extrely grotesque, especially its head, which was riddled with countless warts, making it especially creepy.
On the Flying Star Spot’s head, a Nascent Soul erged, transforming into the form of a middle-aged cultivator. With arms crossed over his chest, he sneered, “With such a fragile array as thin as cicada wings, you think you can withstand my assault? Aren’t you all too naive? Listen to —disperse your array now, surrender without resistance, and feed your bodies to my brood. What do you say, young friends?”
This speech caused the cultivators aboard the ship to shiver in fear.
“You old bastard! Even if we die, we won’t disgrace the dignity of Human Clan cultivators!”
A Golden Core Early Stage Sword Cultivator unsheathed his sword, sending a streak of sword light descending from the heavens, only for it to shatter upon contact with the Flying Star Spot’s demonic aura.
“Ignorant fool, courting death!”
The Flying Star Spot’s Nascent Soul eyes glead fiercely. The next mont, its massive body swayed, and its fish head opened its gigantic maw, raining down “pa pa pa” mouthfuls of spit toward the Spirit Boat ahead.
“Spit?”
Longque Wanderer almost burst into laughter.
“It’s not ordinary spit.”
Ning Daoran’s gaze turned sharp.
They watched as the spit transford midair, solidifying into icy teoric rocks that resembled flying shuttles, hurtling toward the ship’s protective array!
Flying Star Spots, once they ascended to Nascent Soul, could transform their spit into lethal teors. Any cultivator with even a cursory knowledge of Nascent Soul-level demon beasts in the Endless Demon Sea knew of this ability.
“Peng peng peng~~~”
Deafening booms echoed. With just one round of spit, the ship’s protective array shattered.
“Quick, flee!”
On the deck, a group of Golden Core cultivators paled in fear. “Scatter for your lives! Once we return to Guiru City, we’ll regroup and strategize!”
Just as they scattered like startled birds, a Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure descended from the heavens. The cultivators who had just leapt into the air fell into the sea with muffled “plop plop plop” sounds. Demon beasts at the Golden Core Stage imdiately sward towards them, tearing several unlucky Golden Core cultivators to shreds within monts.
…
“We can’t just watch this anymore!”
Ning Daoran leapt into the air, declaring, “If we wait any longer, the cultivators on that ship will all perish. I’ll handle this first! Brother Longque, protect Mingyu. Leave the monster-slaying to !”
“Alright!”
Longque Wanderer remained composed. With Junior Brother Ning taking action, there was nothing to worry about.
In the next instant, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Spirit Pressure erupted. Ning Daoran turned into a stormy gust that streaked over the sea. Behind him, the light of the Dragon Demon Martial Infant flared brilliantly. With waves parting before him, he delivered a ferocious kick directly to the Flying Star Spot’s abdon!
“Boom~~~”
A thunderous crash echoed as the Flying Star Spot’s massive, dozens-of-zhang-tall body was uprooted from the sea, toppling upside down as it crashed into the waves in a wretched display.
“Not good, it’s a Human Nascent Soul!”
In the water, a horde of demon beasts froze in shock. A Golden Core Late Stage demon beast quickly roared, “Just a re Nascent Soul Early Stage Human? How could he possibly rival our ancestor? Everyone, attack together! Tear him apart!”
In the distance, the Flying Star Spot steadied itself after its ungraceful tumble, transforming back into its middle-aged cultivator form with utter venom on its face. “You mongrel! Who the hell are you to sneak attack ? If it hadn’t been a sneak attack, do you think I’d have been sent flying by you?!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
With a faint smile, Ning Daoran raised the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand. A move—Vermilion Bird Destruction—descended. Instantly, a small patch of the sea boiled, and the mangled corpses of countless Golden Core Early Stage demon beasts floated to the surface, their deaths remarkably grueso.
“You’re courting death!”
The Flying Star Spot roared, waving a hand as streams of water coalesced around him. Between the water columns, countless teors began to shimr, indicating he was now serious.
“Fine, then. Let’s leave no doubts behind!”
With a loud shout, Ning Daoran unleashed a surge of electric energy around him. His speed surged into an unimaginable range. The Azure Dragon Spear danced with four consecutive strikes, warping the space around them four tis!
“Peng peng peng~~~”
A chain of concussive booms echoed, shattering all four of the Flying Star Spot’s water columns in their midsection. The overwhelming Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure crushed the teors forming in the surroundings, reducing them to nothing! By now, suppressing a Nascent Soul Early Stage demon beast with Ning Daoran’s cultivation was no longer a challenge!
With a flip of his body, he lashed out with a relentless kick. His foot struck the unprepared Flying Star Spot square under its chin.
“Bang—”
A thunderclap reverberated as the Flying Star Spot shot skyward once more, flipping dozens of tis across the sea before finally regaining its balance. Its hands, now shaped like fins, trailed long streams of water across the surface as it stabilized. A large patch of swelling was already visible on its chin.
“Do you need a sneak attack to send you flying?”
Hovering in midair, Ning Daoran gripped the spear in one hand as his azure robes fluttered in the sea breeze. Smiling faintly, he said, “You take pride in your unparalleled combat efficacy, slaughtering Human Clan cultivators at will. I imagine you never thought that one day, you too would be the one hunted.”
“You…” The Flying Star Spot grit its teeth in fury.
anwhile, on the nearby ship, the Golden Core cultivators began cupping their fists in gratitude—
“Junior of the Dark Yellow Sect, True Disciple Ling Tianzong, greets Senior! May I have the honor of your na?”
“Senior, this Flying Star Spot has slain countless Human Clan cultivators. Please seek justice for the fallen!”
“We all thank Senior for saving our lives!”
…
Their gratitude, while sincere, placed unspoken pressure on Ning Daoran. He needed to end this fight swiftly and eliminate the Flying Star Spot quickly. Otherwise, the honorifics would lose their aning.
“Swoosh!”
A lightning streak flashed, and Ning Daoran turned into an afterimage across the sea.
After another thunderous boom, a sweeping kick filled with raw physical power landed squarely on the Flying Star Spot’s side. Bones shattered audibly. As the Flying Star Spot skidded uncontrollably across the water, Ning Daoran reappeared behind it, delivering yet another brutal kick to the back of its neck, shoving it into the sea below. The massive impact created a giant triangular wave.
“You, co out now!”
Ning Daoran raised his hand, summoning dozens of Dragon Vines from beneath the waves to sweep the Flying Star Spot’s body upward into the air.
“You…”
The Flying Star Spot seethed with humiliation and outrage. “You’re truly toying with ! This infuriates to no end! I’ll have your life today!”
In mid-air, Ning Daoran arched his body back, both hands lifting high above his head. His waist twisted with sudden force.
“Buzz!”
In his hands appeared a massive golden cauldron, which he brought crashing down on the Flying Star Spot’s head with imnse force!
“Clang~~~”
The weight of the Earth Gold Cauldron far exceeded the Azure Dragon Spear’s. This strike cracked the Flying Star Spot’s skull, and so of its brain matter even splattered outward. If harvested, this brain might serve as a premium delicacy in an underground hot pot establishnt.
“…”
From afar, Longque Wanderer gawked, utterly dumbfounded.
My goodness, is this how you wield the Earth Gold Cauldron, an upper-grade Spiritual Treasure?
Other Nascent Souls would treasure this artifact, using it either for artifact refining or to nourish their Primordial Qi. But Ning Daoran? He used it as a blunt weapon?
Such a unique approach to Spiritual Treasures—it could only happen here.
“Fellow Daoist.”
With a wave of his hand, Ning Daoran absorbed the Earth Gold Cauldron back into his body and smirked. “Allow to send you on your way. Don’t hold a grudge. Life is full of regrets, and an abrupt end can sotis be a blessing.”
“Screw you, you…” The Flying Star Spot tried to curse, but before it could finish, Ning Daoran pumled it into the seabed with a punch. The Azure Dragon Spear followed, piercing through its mouth and exiting out its skull, completing the kill in one decisive stroke!
“Break!”
Unlike the cunning Five-Colored Rock Dragon before it, the Flying Star Spot wasn’t quick enough. As its Nascent Soul tried to crawl out of its skull, Ning Daoran immobilized it with a Fourth-tier Lower Grade Prohibition Breaking Talisman, catching the Nascent Soul in one hand and feeding it to Little Qing.
“Burp~~~”
Little Qing bead with satisfaction.
…
“…”
Aboard the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat, Longque Wanderer, Ning Mingyu, and Zhou Yunlong were all left speechless.
Apparently, Ning Daoran had been holding back in the previous battles. To instantly kill a Nascent Soul Early Stage demon beast—such power was beyond extraordinary!
“Swoosh!”
Extracting a wisp of its Divine Soul, Ning Daoran infused it into the Demon-slaying Token, glancing at his newly ascended ranking—he had now climbed to 33rd place. Satisfaction filled his heart.
The remaining demon beasts scattered like a herd of frightened pigs, impossible to stop even if one tried.
“Senior!”
On the Spirit Boat, a group of cultivators cupped their fists in gratitude. “Might we ask your esteed na, Senior?”
“This humble one is known as Independent Practitioner Jianjia.”
With one hand behind his back, Ning Daoran exuded an aura of immortal charm.
“!!!”
Among the crowd, several Sangyu Country cultivators stared wide-eyed. So this man was actually Independent Practitioner Jianjia?
The infamous Jianjia Old Demon—a figure so fearso that even crying infants were silenced at the ntion of his na in Sangyu Country—had just saved their lives?
For a mont, several Sangyu Country cultivators wavered in their Daoist Hearts, suddenly doubting whether they would ever attain immortality in this lifeti.
“Senior Jin Yuanzi!”
At this mont, a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator turned toward the ship’s cabin and called out, “Senior Jianjia has saved us! We’re safe now!”
“…”
Ning Daoran raised an eyebrow.
From within the cabin walked out a frail Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator—it turned out to be none other than Jin Yuanzi, the neighbor from the left side of the cave mansion. Jin Yuanzi seed to have been injured earlier, which was why he had been hiding in the cabin and hadn’t joined the fight against the Flying Star Spot.
“Fellow Daoist Ning… Wh-what a coincidence…” Jin Yuanzi said awkwardly.
