Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 795: Chapter 376: Sealing Demon Altar, Deadly Aurora

"What a powerful poison!"

Lin Chang’an was also taken aback; this poison was terrifying. Fortunately, he wasn’t afraid of poison; otherwise, this potent poison would be unbearable for ordinary Core Formation Cultivators.

"Hiss!"

The Sword Aura he had secretly prepared hadn’t been deployed—it was this unexpectedly strong poisonous mist—but the Sword Servant had already dashed forward.

All three were Core Formation Middle Stage cultivators, first poisoned, losing nine-tenths of their power and having no resistance against the Sword Servant’s terrifying Sword Aura.

"Not good!"

The gray-haired elder suddenly realized something was wrong. His Escape Technique and swift reaction made Lin Chang’an marvel.

He had transformed into a stream of light and escaped.

Under the cloak of night, illuminated by the beautiful aurora, the gray-haired elder, Fan Lao Da, was drenched in cold sweat, utterly terrified.

He hadn’t expected to hit a hard wall this time.

"Fortunately, I’m always the farthest. I can escape first, and my Escape Technique is rare among cultivators of the same stage, unless it’s a speed-specialized Flying Beast..."

As Fan Lao Da glanced back at the rapidly shrinking giant figure behind him, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, though he felt a pang of heartache.

His Spirit Pet was probably lost.

"Damn it, the poison is used up, can’t stay in the Demon Beast Abyss..."

However, his words had not yet fallen when suddenly a golden light struck from behind.

Crack!

His Mana Shield was instantly pierced; Fan Lao Da’s face turned bloodless, and all his mana and blood froze.

"This is what my master wants me to return to you."

Only when the golden light that pierced through the Mana Shield was finally blocked by his Defensive Magical Treasure did the golden light produce a crisp sound, followed by a puff of purple-black poisonous mist.

"No..."

The poison mist was too familiar. The horrified old Fan Lao finally recognized the golden light as a bird.

However, at this moment, the Phoenix Cry Bird, with its crafty glint in its eyes, mimicked its master’s methods, spraying out the poison mist it had just swallowed into its belly.

When the Defensive Magical Treasure touched the poison mist, it emitted a sizzling corrosive sound. The Spiritual Light dimmed as the poison mist gave him no chance, penetrating through the Protective Spiritual Light and directly invading his body.

"Ah..."

The gray-haired elder’s eyes widened as he cried out in unwilling agony, only for the Phoenix Cry Bird to seize the moment and instantly pecked through his abdomen.

Blood splattered as a round golden core flashing with Spiritual Light was caught in the Phoenix Cry Bird’s beak.

"Spare... spare..."

In the midst of despair and pain, he had only a shred of consciousness left, watching helplessly as his golden core was swallowed with a gulp by the beast.

...

Under the aurora spectacle, countless humans in the Demon Beast Abyss poked their heads out as beasts surfaced, marveling at the power of heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, approaching a sea area connected to Five Dragons Island, the sea was dyed black as the massive Eight-armed Sea Beast lay lifeless, floating on the surface.

Sword Auras flashed out from within the corpse.

Standing in the heavens, Lin Chang’an caught the Sun-piercing Divine Sword with one hand, his gaze falling on the sea beast.

"What a pity, such a powerful sea beast, yet lacking in defense."

Even the greatest power has its weaknesses.

His Sun-piercing Divine Sword pierced the sea beast’s soft body as easily as a hot knife through butter.

"Moo!"

As the water surface churned and splashed, the angry Cyan-Horned Bull emerged from the water, though thirty yards tall, appeared much shorter compared to the sea beast.

With the roar of the Cyan-Horned Bull, it turned over the sea beast, revealing the petrified section of its abdomen.

"Master, it’s cleaned up."

At this time, the Sword Servant also returned with three corpses in tow.

Just then, a golden light approached from afar—it was the Phoenix Cry Bird soaring high.

"Master, this human cultivator was too cunning. He almost self-destructed his Golden Core; fortunately, I was fast enough to peck it out. However, at the time, it was too urgent, and I feared he had more tricks up his sleeve..."

The returning Phoenix Cry Bird chirped away in a solemn manner, depicting itself as considering safety and swallowing the opponent’s Golden Core.

However, as Lin Chang’an noticed the missing Storage Bag from the opponent’s waist, he roughly understood the situation and couldn’t help his eye twitching.

This Phoenix Cry Bird, you couldn’t take your eyes off it; it would play mind games.

"Really, that Tribulation Cultivator runs quite fast."

Thereupon, Lin Chang’an looked at the corpse and remarked with a surprisingly sardonic tone, "I guess this Tribulation Cultivator was planning to self-destruct the Storage Bag, right?"

The Phoenix Cry Bird’s eyes widened, its eyeballs spinning frantically, but seeing the empty waist of the other party, it brazenly stated:

"Master, I was afraid the Storage Bag would get lost, it’s with me."

Glancing fiercely at the sly-witted Phoenix Cry Bird, Lin Chang’an smiled wryly and began to peruse the memories of the four cultivators one by one.

Witnessing this scene, the Phoenix Cry Bird breathed a sigh of relief, having dodged a calamity.

"You, you."

At this moment, the Phoenix Cry Bird shrank its body in trepidation, landing on the Sword Servant’s shoulder, who rarely smiled and pointed at the Phoenix Cry Bird.

"Little mistress, I haven’t had something good in ages."

The Phoenix Cry Bird showed a pitiful look, but this address made the Sword Servant’s eyes flicker with panic, lowering the voice:

"Don’t say such things!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird, however, lowered its head in a pitiful manner, but its crafty eyes were spinning wildly as it secretly thought it was fortunate to have left a loophole before.
