Chapter 250: Chapter 219: Slaying Core Formation, Yanyue True Monarch (Part 3)

He never would have imagined that he would never return from this trip to Red Cloud Mountain!

’My Demon Body and Spirit far surpasses an ordinary Lower-Grade Magical Treasure, nearly reaching the level of a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure! My claws, fangs, and scales are comparable to the finest among Middle-Grade Magical Treasures!’

’In close combat, as long as I don’t let them pull away and keep them entangled, a Human Race Cultivator of the same Realm stands no chance!’

’In just a few exchanges, I can easily overwhelm and kill them!’

’Unless they’re a Human Race Body Cultivator. They might last a few more exchanges!’

’The physiques of the Human Race are frail. Killing them is far easier than killing a member of the Demon Race at the same Realm!’

’However, the Human Race has more techniques and deeper reserves. If I don’t kill them with swift, decisive force, they become far more troublesome than the Demon Race once they have time to recover!’

Without wasting a moment, Xu Chang’an quickly took the Storage Bag from the Core Formation Zhenren’s body.

His claws tore through the corpse. Driven by his Demon Power, a True Core shimmering with a greenish-blue light appeared in his hand.

Whether it’s from the Demon Race or the Human Race, the Inner Cores they form are incredibly nourishing treasures!

If an ordinary demon were to devour a human Core Formation Zhenren’s True Core, it would be of great benefit to their cultivation!

However, the panel couldn’t absorb the essence of flesh and blood, and by extension, it couldn’t absorb the accompanying True Cores or Inner Cores either. Even if Xu Chang’an consumed them, he couldn’t convert them for his own use!

This path was closed to Xu Chang’an.

Legend has it that the Ancient Demon Race devoured all other races, using their flesh and blood to strengthen themselves!

But why...

Now, aided by the power of his panel, he was retracing the path of the Ancient Demon Race, yet he couldn’t act like a true member of the Ancient Demon Race and instead faced such a huge restriction!

’If only I could absorb the essence of all living things, devour Inner Cores and True Cores, and convert them into panel Energy!’

’Then, the speed at which I accumulate Energy would reach a terrifying rate!’

A pity!

However, even if it couldn’t be consumed, the True Core of a Human Race Zhenren had many uses and was incredibly valuable!

A specially processed True Core could serve as the power core for a Puppet, a storage and guidance medium for an Array, or be ground into powder to become the highest quality material for Talisman Making!

And so on and so forth—the uses were many!

Therefore, even humans traded the True Cores of their own kind!

All of the above occurred in the time it took for a single thought to cross Xu Chang’an’s mind.

It seemed to take a long time, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

SWOOSH!

In a flash of light, Xu Chang’an’s figure blurred, and he appeared at the edge of the entrapping Magical Treasure’s light barrier.

He slapped a Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman onto the barrier, preparing to temporarily tear open a passage!

At his side, Yu Ruyan watched Xu Chang’an’s fluid, graceful movements. A look of shock appeared on her stunningly beautiful face, and it refused to fade.

’The little mouse... he...’

’In the span of just a few breaths, a Human Race Core Formation Zhenren had fallen before him!’

’One moment she thought she was about to die, and the next, the crisis was resolved!’

’The change was so fast, so unpredictable!’

’This was a Core Formation Zhenren of the Human Race!’

’A Core Formation Zhenren, on par with a Demon King!’

’But in front of the little mouse, he had seemed so fragile!’

’In a matter of breaths, he was nothing but a corpse!’

Yu Ruyan looked at Xu Chang’an, her expression complex.

During the battle just now, Xu Chang’an had used his full power. In that moment, he hadn’t looked like a Gray Rat Demon.

Instead, he was a Purple-striped Thunder Rat, covered in violet patterns that occasionally flashed with arcs of lightning!

Yu Ruyan suddenly understood why the ancient Bloodline sense inherited by the Fox Race had told her that this seemingly ordinary Grey Rat was anything but.

No matter how naive Yu Ruyan might be, she now clearly realized that the little Gray Rat Demon she had known for nearly seventy years was hiding secrets far deeper than she had ever imagined!

BOOM!

The milky-white light barrier radiating from the entrapping Magical Treasure trembled violently.

By this point, Xu Chang’an had already activated the Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman.

Breaking Charms were exceptionally effective against Array Restrictions and entrapping Magical Treasures. Their power was several times greater than a normal Attacking Demon Talisman of the same tier!

Seeing the light barrier before him tremble, Xu Chang’an seized the opportunity.

Lightning flared around his body as his Demon Power erupted. His claws, imbued with an indescribable sharpness, struck out fiercely.

KRAK!

The milky-white light barrier radiating from the entrapping Magical Treasure cracked open, forming a hole several meters wide.

’Success!’

A hint of joy appeared on Xu Chang’an’s face.

’The Grade of this entrapping Magical Treasure isn’t low. Even with the help of the Breaking Charm, I wasn’t entirely confident I could break it in a single strike!’

"Miss Yu, let’s go!"

Xu Chang’an grabbed Yu Ruyan, and their figures flickered as they shot toward the outside.

’The moment I broke through the entrapping Magical Treasure, its owner must have sensed it.’

’Human Race Cultivators will probably be rushing here any second!’

’If we get tied down by these Human Race Zhenren, with a Nascent Soul True Monarch overseeing things, we probably won’t be able to escape!’

Holding nothing back, Xu Chang’an pulled Yu Ruyan along as he fled, simultaneously slapping forth a Tier Three Middle Grade Escape Demon Talisman.

VMMM~

A shimmering light enveloped them, and they shot into the distance at extreme speed.

The Escape Demon Talisman was powerfully effective!

Its speed was far greater than what he could achieve flying on a Magical Artifact!

Unfortunately, the Escape Demon Talisman had a time limit and could only be used once. One would never use it unless it was an emergency!

...

"The Panlong Cover... was breached!?"

High in the sky above Red Cloud Mountain, a figure hovered.

He wore a blue robe, his hair was graying at the temples, and he possessed a transcendent aura. If an ordinary mortal were to see him, they would kowtow as if to an Immortal!

In fact, to mortals, he could indeed be considered an Immortal!

This was a Human Race Cultivator at the Peak of Late-stage Core Formation.

At this moment, a hint of surprise showed on his face.

A moment ago, he had sensed that a hole had been torn in his Magical Treasure.
