Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 715: The Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale transforms, and an opportunity is born!
“Screech!”
Hearing the call to action, the Golden-winged Roc immediately let out an excited screech.
Its entire body of golden feathers seemed to burn fiercely, radiating endless dazzling brilliance, and it directly tore through the air towards the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King.
“Honglian!”
Lu Changsheng called out to Honglian again. The Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone on his chest surged violently, his magic power and aura climbed steadily, and holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo with the Yin-Yang Diagram above his head, he charged directly at the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King.
The Brahma Devil True Body then tossed the Demon Binding Lock, which was tightly restraining the Quasi Fourth-tier Whale King, into the distance, for Honglian to take over.
Honglian flew forward like a Vermilion Bird divine beast. Lifting her fair jade hand slightly, she grasped the Demon Binding Lock, looked at the struggling Whale King, and reprimanded, “Behave yourself!”
As she spoke, the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman blossomed with five-colored light, making it difficult for it to move.
The Three Treasures Incarnation also flew towards the battlefield ahead, with the [Sun-Moon Two-Aura Profound Light Mirror] above its head, following closely behind.
In an instant, offense and defense switched!
“Arrogant!”
Seeing the Golden-winged Roc take the lead and treat itself as prey, the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King was furious, letting out a cold roar filled with angry killing intent.
Several tornado storms, mixed with lightning arcs, swept towards the Golden-winged Roc.
If it were a normal peak Third-tier Demon King, it wouldn’t be able to last even for a moment.
But the Golden-winged Roc, being a True Spirit level bloodline beast, was an existence beyond common sense. It could barely contend and maneuver against Nascent Soul cultivators and Fourth-tier Demon Kings.
“Buzz!”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng arrived, tearing through the air. The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand erupted with a peerless sword light that pierced through the heavens and earth, breaking apart all the tornado storms. The Yin-Yang Diagram above his head spanned the sky, attempting to block the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King.
“Human, don’t push your luck too far!”
The Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King saw that Lu Changsheng and the others wanted to hunt it. Its pupils were cold and cruel, showing a terrifying purplish-golden luster. It roared in a low voice, and a terrifying aura spread out, overwhelming the sky and earth, causing the weather to change.
Although Lu Changsheng and the Golden-winged Roc were provoking it like this, it did not want a life-and-death struggle.
After all, the battles between Demon Kings in the Star Constellation Sea were also very fierce. If it returned heavily injured, it was very likely to attract hunting from other Demon Kings, or even Nascent Soul cultivators.
However, the only response it received was a dazzling and brilliant majestic sword light, and a faint yellow soul-capturing divine light.
To prevent this Flood Dragon King from escaping, Lu Changsheng held the Great Luo Sword Embryo, his Fourth-tier physique fully recovered, and chose to engage in close combat with the latter.
“Roar!!!”
The Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King was completely enraged. The dragon scales on its body trembled, rippling with a layer of purplish-blue lightning arcs. On the single horn of its large and ferocious dragon head, a purplish-golden ripple formed, invincible and unstoppable.
“Great Ming King Light Aspect! Chaos Myriad Manifestations!”
Lu Changsheng’s Dharma robe and battle armor were both shattered and scrapped in the Vast Sand Illusion Domain. Even if his body refinement had broken through to the Fourth-tier, it was impossible to directly engage in close combat with a Demon King. He unleashed the supreme defensive divine ability and physical innate divine ability from the 《Brahma Devil True Saint Technique》.
The Great Luo Sword Embryo collided with the single horn, and a violent explosion occurred between them, roaring throughout the heavens and earth.
The Brahma Devil True Body seized this opportunity and swung the Mountain Moving Whip down fiercely.
At the same time, the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale arrived at the battlefield. Its scorched and broken body rose like a dark sun, ignoring the terrifying fluctuations formed by Lu Changsheng and the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King, and charged down with a roar.
The two dragon horns on its head emitted a hazy glow, releasing shockwaves that tore and shattered the void.
A sky-shattering sound rang out, sparks flew everywhere, the body of the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King was torn by the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, blood splattered, many scales fell off, and then it was sent flying into the deep sea.
“Roar!!!”
The Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King let out an unwilling roar, knowing that the current situation was unfavorable to it. Its body intertwined with azure light, blood flowed back, stabilizing its wounds, and then using the water flow, it shot towards the Star Constellation Sea.
“Yin-Yang One Qi Great Seizing Hand!”
Lu Changsheng had long anticipated that this Flood Dragon King would try to escape. The Yin-Yang Qi flowed above his head, and a clearly patterned great hand seal intertwined with the Yin-Yang Diagram, descending with a roar, firmly restraining this Flood Dragon King.
However, this Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King’s combat power was extraordinary, and it was currently in the vast sea. It was too difficult to completely restrain it.
However, with his current magic power state and the Soul-Crying Beast assisting, it still made the Flood Dragon King feel as if carrying a heavy burden, like being trapped in a swamp, its movements sluggish.
Seeing this, the Brahma Devil True Body, the Golden-winged Roc, and the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale instantly charged towards the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King.
“Roar!!!”
The Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King’s eyes revealed fierce light, as if it had gone mad. It roared towards the sky, deafeningly, stirring up endless lightning storms, and pounced towards Lu Changsheng.
It had already seen that Lu Changsheng was the core of this battle.
If it didn’t deal with him, it would be difficult to shake off the Golden-winged Roc and the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale.
“Hmph! I was waiting for you to make a move!”
Lu Changsheng’s Fourth-tier physique was like an ancient volcano erupting. The Chaos Myriad Manifestations above his head intertwined with the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, slashing towards the Flood Dragon King’s single horn.
“Clang clang clang!!!”
Sparks flew everywhere. The body of the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King was extremely tough. As its scales trembled, many snake-like lightning arcs formed, neutralizing Lu Changsheng’s sword energy offensive and spreading towards him.
Before the two could determine a victor, the attacks of the Brahma Devil True Body, the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, and the Golden-winged Roc descended with a roar, leaving the Flood Dragon King’s body battered and bloody.
But at this moment, the Flood Dragon King’s ferocious and massive dragon head revealed its fierce light, and its cold, gleaming fangs directly bit towards Lu Changsheng.
Even if it meant being heavily injured, it wanted to swallow and kill him!
“Hmph!”
Lu Changsheng let out a cold snort. The blood energy of his Fourth-tier physique and the Chaos Myriad Manifestations seemed to form a small world, propping open the void and making it difficult for the Flood Dragon King’s teeth to bite down.
Dragon roars echoed, like mountains calling and seas roaring. The surrounding void constantly collapsed.
“A Fourth-tier Demon King is indeed extraordinary.”
In such close combat, even Lu Changsheng felt a bit strained. Cracks appeared in the Great Ming King Light Aspect and the Chaos Myriad Manifestations.
It was just that his blood energy and magic power were too vast, like a celestial river breaking its banks, endless and continuous. As soon as a part of the Great Ming King Light Aspect shattered, it instantly reformed, making the entire person seem immortal and indestructible!
“Roar!”
The Soul-Crying Beast on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder let out a low roar. Black mist and ghostly shadows swirled around it. Its body grew taller, transforming into a Beast of Punishment, entering a battle state!
In just a moment, it transformed from a cute and adorable little beast into a peerless demonic ape with a black face, fangs, a ferocious appearance, and an eerie ghostly aura surrounding its entire body.
It was just that this Flood Dragon King was neither a demonic beast nor a ghostly corpse king, so what it could do was limited.
But even so, Lu Changsheng felt much more relaxed. The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand trembled madly and slashed upwards fiercely, intending to sever its head and soul from the inside out.
“Pfft!!!”
Blood surged like a river. The Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King let out a heart-wrenching howl of pain. Its body trembled wildly, stirring up endless tsunami waves. Lightning storms permeated its body, wanting to blast Lu Changsheng and the Soul-Crying Beast into dust. But the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, the Golden-winged Roc, and the Brahma Devil True Body charged at it again, tearing its scales and flesh.
The Flood Dragon King roared in madness and anger, feeling extremely aggrieved.
If it were one-on-one, whether against Lu Changsheng or the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, it would have the strength to fight.
But now, facing the four top combat powers of Lu Changsheng, the Soul-Crying Beast, the Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, and the Golden-winged Roc, it was completely no match. It couldn’t even escape if it wanted to.
Just as both sides were constantly entangled, Honglian and the Three Treasures Incarnation arrived.
“This is the little beast my husband had before?”
Honglian saw the Punishment Soul-Crying Beast in the Flood Dragon King’s mouth, her expression one of shock and surprise.
However, she saw signs that this Flood Dragon King was about to fight to the death, so she immediately unleashed the Beast Taming Ancient Talisman with all her might, causing it to blossom with five-colored light and suppress the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King.
The Three Treasures Incarnation beside her then used the Yin-Yang One Qi Great Seizing Hand, merging with the Yin-Yang Diagram in the sky to enhance the restraining power.
Under such layered offensives, the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King completely lost the ability to resist and could only take a beating unilaterally, stirring up countless terrifying waves.
In just a moment, wind and thunder permeated the area. The dragon body, shimmering with purplish-blue crystalline luster, was covered in wounds, a terrible sight to behold.
Even if a Fourth-tier Demon King’s physical body was strong and its vitality tenacious, under the attacks of Lu Changsheng and the others, it was difficult to sustain.
However, just at this moment, the Sun-Moon Two-Aura Profound Light Mirror gave a warning: another Fourth-tier Demon King was attacking.
“Trying to be the opportunist?!”
The Great Ming King Light Aspect flowed behind Lu Changsheng’s head, illuminating his incomparably handsome face with a solemn and dignified appearance.
The Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand slashed, and then he and the Soul-Crying Beast flew out from the Flood Dragon King’s mouth. His eyes shot out two golden beams of light, looking at the distant Fourth-tier Demon King, who was full of desire and greed, and said coldly, “This is my prey. Feel free to come and try!”
“Roar!!!”
The Sea-Shattering Profound Dragon Whale, the Soul-Crying Beast, and the Golden-winged Roc all roared and howled in unison, releasing immense demonic energy.
This Fourth-tier Demon King looked at the three people and three beasts, as well as the Whale King tightly bound by the Demon Binding Lock in Honglian’s hand, and then looked at the almost dying Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King. In the end, it chose to retreat.
Although the prey in front of it was tempting, Lu Changsheng had many people and great power. Even if it went up, it would be difficult to snatch the prey.
“Husband, quickly finish the battle. This Demon King might go call for help!”
Seeing this scene, Honglian immediately reminded him.
Demon Kings who reached the level of Fourth-tier Humanoid Transformation Demon Kings mostly accumulated their own forces and had some Demon Kings they knew.
“Mm!”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng did not delay any further. He tossed the Great Luo Sword Embryo to the Brahma Devil True Body and then suddenly appeared beside the Sun-Moon Two-Aura Profound Light Mirror.
“Awu, Lunar Profound Light!”
The mirror surface shimmered with flowing light and color, blossoming with a dreamlike pure white moonlight.
Immediately after, a cold, mysterious, and bone-chilling Lunar Profound Light shone down on the body of the Fourth-tier Flood Dragon King, causing its already wounded and battered body to instantly be covered in white frost, constantly being eroded by Lunar power.
Under such a siege, in less than fifteen minutes, the Four-stage Flood Dragon King’s frantically struggling body stiffened, and its life force weakened.
“Pfft!!!”
The True Demonic Body, holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo, suddenly sliced off its massive, ferocious dragon head, completely ending its life.
“Hoo, these Four-stage Demon Kings are really hard to kill.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng let out a long breath.
This battle seemed easy, but the close-quarters combat and the activation of the Taiyin Profound Light were quite draining, making it difficult to kill another one.
“Demon Kings have powerful physical bodies and tenacious vitality, and in this kind of sea region, killing them is naturally incredibly difficult. That you could kill it without injury, husband, already surpasses countless Nascent Soul cultivators.”
Honglian, standing beside him, spoke, her voice soft and pleasant, full of gentle affection.
These words were not flattery, but genuine and sincere truth.
Regardless of the realm, it is extremely difficult for cultivators to kill demon beasts of the same level.
Especially Demon Kings after the third stage.
Although Lu Changsheng’s side had numerical superiority, apart from the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale which had just advanced to the fourth stage, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and the Soul-Crying Beast both possessed third-stage combat power.
Under such circumstances, to kill a Manifestation Flood Dragon King with fourth-stage combat power without injury is enough to shock the world if word gets out.
“Heh.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, seeing that they had entered the Star Constellation Sea region. He clicked his tongue and said, “How did I not notice before that there were so many Four-stage Demon Kings here in the Star Constellation Sea?”
When he sent his son Lu Quanzhen here before, he passed through this place but didn’t encounter any Four-stage Manifestation Demon Kings.
As a result, when the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale underwent its tribulation, two Four-stage Demon Kings appeared directly. It was simply outrageous.
“Dahei’s tribulation process, with blood flowing into the Star Constellation Sea, holds an instinctive temptation for these Demon Kings.”
“However, from this, you can see that the Star Constellation Sea is far more prosperous than Jiang Country, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to nurture so many third-stage and fourth-stage Demon Kings.”
Honglian looked towards the Star Constellation Sea, recognizing it as a rich land far surpassing Jiang Country.
“Mm, I plan to take a trip to the Star Constellation Sea once I’m done with things at home.”
Now that the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale had broken through to the fourth stage, Lu Changsheng was also preparing to go to the Star Constellation Sea to see if his Nascent Soul opportunity lay there.
However, as soon as he spoke, Lu Changsheng felt a sudden surge of inspiration.
He performed a divination, and in the ethereal realm, it seemed as though his Nascent Soul opportunity was located in the Star Constellation Sea.
“Hmm!?”
Honglian saw Lu Changsheng concentrating silently, his fingers performing a divination, and her beautiful eyes showed surprise and doubt.
What’s going on?
Since when did husband know the art of divination?
She knew that Lu Changsheng absolutely did not know the art of divination before.
“It seems husband realized that a major power must have a fortune teller presiding, so he mastered the art of divination through means from his previous life.”
Honglian had known for years that Lu Changsheng was the reincarnation of a powerful being and had prepared many backup plans.
So she guessed what was happening immediately.
However, even so, having witnessed many unbelievable things about Lu Changsheng, she was still amazed.
After all, without talent, the art of divination is difficult to master.
Forcing cultivation affects one’s lifespan, and can even cause one to lose oneself, leading to mental derangement.
Yet Lu Changsheng could effortlessly master such top-tier methods through means from his previous life. It was truly terrifying and defied common sense.
“No.”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, shook his head, and had not divined his Nascent Soul opportunity.
On one hand, it’s difficult to obtain very detailed information through divination.
On the other hand, his divination skills were not yet sufficient to reach that level.
“Husband, were you just performing a divination?”
Seeing Lu Changsheng return to his senses, Honglian asked.
“Mm, I suddenly had a feeling just now, as if my Nascent Soul opportunity is in the Star Constellation Sea.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything, nodding and saying, “But no matter how I divined, I couldn’t get detailed information.”
“The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, and divination cannot reveal everything. Since husband sensed the Nascent Soul opportunity is in the Star Constellation Sea, you will naturally know when you take a trip there.”
Honglian’s face always held a beautiful smile as she said, “Breaking through from Core Formation to Nascent Soul also depends on timing and location. Many late Core Formation cultivators like to travel around, hoping for this kind of ethereal feeling, a catalyst, to find their Nascent Soul opportunity and increase their chances of breaking through.”
Although fortune tellers can divine opportunities.
But even without cultivating the art of divination, cultivators can experience sudden inspiration and ethereal feelings.
“Dahei, how are you doing now? Do you need to rest properly?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale and asked.
Although it had just gone through a battle, its scorched and battered body was in better condition than right after the tribulation. At this moment, it was devouring the flesh and blood of the Four-stage Flood Dragon King.
Not only it, but the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng was also devouring the Flood Dragon King’s flesh and blood. Only the Soul-Crying Beast seemed uninterested, returning from its combat form to its usual clumsy appearance and yawning.
“Want to sleep.”
The Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale said this.
“Now that you’ve passed the Manifestation Heavenly Tribulation, can you transform into a human?”
Lu Changsheng asked with some anticipation.
Hearing this, the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale’s mountain-like body began to slowly shrink, finally transforming into an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with a pale face and two curved dragon horns on her head, under a blinding flash of light.
Although the girl was petite, she wore a domineering black and gold armor. On her shoulders, one side bore a lifelike whale head, and the other a ferocious and mighty dragon head, exuding a sharp aura.
“Master, like this?”
The girl asked Lu Changsheng in a clear voice. There was no hint that this was a Four-stage Manifestation Demon King.
“???”
Lu Changsheng stared at the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale before him, completely stunned.
Then he said somewhat speechlessly, “I didn’t expect you to be so young. So, for all these years, I’ve been using child labor?”
In his early years, he had seen things like fox-girls and cat-girls, and also the fusion of Xu Ruyin and the Sky Demon Phoenix. He had always been very expectant of Manifestation Demon Kings.
He never expected that his first Manifestation Demon King would be a little girl.
Although quite cute, still…
“The age of demon beasts is different from us human cultivators, so their manifestation appearance will be affected by age. However, the younger they are, the higher their innate talent and potential…”
Honglian, standing beside him, looked at the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale before her and said.
Lu Changsheng naturally knew this principle, but he was just very surprised. He couldn’t help but look at the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng and the Soul-Crying Beast and said, “You guys aren’t child labor too, are you?”
The two beasts didn’t understand what “child labor” meant.
But after learning that he was asking about their age, they both nodded, indicating that according to their species’ lifespan, they were currently very young.
“Sigh, it’s hard to exploit them for a while.”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat speechless. Then, looking at the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale before him, with its charming short hair, standing tall and slim, and its deep black eyes looking at him, he rubbed his chin and said, “Since you’ve already manifested, the name Dahei is a bit casual. Do you have any ideas yourself?”
“Whatever Master says.”
The Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale’s charming and cool appearance seemed domineering and majestic, but it gave Lu Changsheng a sense of adorable innocence.
“Hmm… Black Whale King? Dragon Whale Girl? Hei Loulan? Jinyu?”
Lu Changsheng thought of a few names in his mind, but none felt right. Finally, too lazy to dwell on it, he said, “Never mind, from now on, you’ll be called Lu Lingjing.”
“Thank you, Master.”
The Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale’s pale little face showed joy and happiness.
Compared to Dahei, this name was much nicer.
“Mm, don’t call me Master anymore. Call me Laoye.”
If it was in its beast form, Lu Changsheng could still treat it as a spirit pet.
But now that it had transformed into human form, calling him Master felt a bit strange.
He couldn’t help but think of the attendants beside many mythological figures in his previous life, who all called their masters Laoye.
“Yes, Laoye.”
The Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale called out obediently.
It was just that with her appearance and attire, she didn’t look like an attendant or a child servant at all.
“You should stay in your normal form and eat your fill first.”
Lu Changsheng was still a bit unaccustomed to the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale’s current appearance.
Moreover, her physical condition hadn’t fully recovered yet, and transforming into human form would have a certain impact.
Hearing this, the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale immediately reverted to its mountain-like dragon-whale form, using the flesh and blood of the Four-stage Flood Dragon King to replenish itself.
Its body still had the newfound power after the tribulation and the Dao’s bestowal, so with the replenishment of a large amount of essence, it recovered very quickly.
When it was almost done, Lu Changsheng threw the Flood Dragon Demon Core to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, then fully unleashed the Great Yin-Yang Capture technique, using great power to collect the remnants of the Flood Dragon’s body, and motioned for the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale to go back first.
As for the captured quasi-four-stage Whale King, he had originally planned to give it to Lu Lingjing for nourishment, but it wasn’t needed now. After a moment of thought, he decided to take it back to Great Dream Immortal City to raise it.
As the City Lord of Great Dream City, hunting a quasi-four-stage Whale King was perfectly normal.
“Whoosh!!!”
As the Rifting Sea Black Dragon Whale advanced to the fourth stage, Lu Changsheng and Honglian stood side by side on its back, watching it ride the wind and waves. Lu Changsheng also felt a different sensation.
Several days later, Lu Changsheng suddenly saw endless divine light soaring into the sky from the direction of Great Dream Immortal City.
Even from thousands of miles away, they could see a surge of azure divine light in the distant sky.
“Is this the emergence of a treasure?”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
“It looks a bit like a secret realm opening…”
Honglian’s beautiful eyes looked towards the direction of the divine light. After observing for a moment, she spoke.
