Chapter 2784: Pure Yang Body

Two thick, long black tongues shot out from the lightning without warning, like two black spears, heading straight for them.

Niu Pan opened his mouth and spat out two thick golden lightning bolts, which struck the two black tongues. The two black tongues trembled, and a burnt smell emanated from them.

Above Xue Ji's head was a gigantic female phantom. More than half of its body shimmered with white light, indicating her Dharma Idol was nearly sixty percent solidified. From the phantom woman's eyes, two beams of white light shot out, striking the two black tongues. The two black tongues froze at a visible speed, turning into white ice spears.

However, very quickly, a foul-smelling, acrid black venomous fire swept along the black tongues, and the ice rapidly melted.

A hazy green, heaven-cleaving saber aura swept over, cutting into the two black tongues and leaving a long bloodstain.

Wang Changsheng opened his mouth and spat out glazed ice flames, which struck one of the black tongues. The black tongue rapidly froze; the ice layer was snow-blue and quickly spread. The snow-blue flames collided with the black venomous fire. They were locked in a stalemate, emitting plumes of white mist.

Golden light radiated from Song Yunlong's body, covering an area of a hundred zhang. When the black tongues touched the golden light, they immediately emitted a puff of green smoke and quickly retracted. Centered around Song Yunlong, the temperature within a ten-thousand-zhang radius rapidly increased. He was like a blazing sun.

Pure Yang Divine Light! A Pure Yang Body!

Wang Changsheng's expression became solemn. Some special divine abilities can only be cultivated and mastered by specific physiques. The Pure Yang Divine Light is one of them. The Pure Yang Divine Light is a unique divine ability of the Pure Yang Body. This ability is supremely rigid and positive (Yang), immensely powerful, compelling even demons, monsters, and ghosts to retreat. He knew Song Yunlong possessed a Spirit Body, but he didn't know what kind it was. Even if other cultivators knew, they wouldn't necessarily spread the information everywhere.

Song Yunlong's finger glowed with dazzling golden light. He lightly pointed his finger into the void, and a golden light shot out, accurately striking the retracted black tongue, directly piercing through it. A fist-sized, charred wound was visible.

A loud whooshing sound filled the air as five long blue rainbows shot out, disappearing into the golden lightning like lightning bolts, followed by two mournful hisses. Rumbling thunder came from high in the sky. Tens of thousands of golden lightning bolts, as thick as millstones, streaked across the sky, successively merging into the golden lightning, which surged dramatically. Blasts of air rolled forth.

Two disheveled figures flew out from the lightning; they were two Soul-Devouring Toads. Their bodies were covered in gashes, charred black, with faint glimpses of bone. Each of them spat out a hazy black sound wave. Wherever they passed, earth and stone crumbled, and they instantly appeared before Wang Changsheng and the other four.

Liu Qingfeng struck with his saber. A hazy green saber aura swept out, meeting the attack. With a resounding boom, the two black sound waves were shattered by the green saber aura. Seizing this opportunity, the two Soul-Devouring Toads transformed into two streaks of black escape light, flying towards the ground.

The ground rapidly froze, and white hailstones fell from high in the sky, heading straight for them. In less than ten breaths, an area of a thousand li had transformed into an icy wasteland.

A clap of thunder sounded. A spear, wreathed in golden electrical arcs, appeared out of thin air, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations. The golden spear's lightning surged. Countless golden electrical arcs surged out, engulfing one of the Soul-Devouring Toads.

A golden gleaming flying knife shot over, striking at the other Soul-Devouring Toad. The Soul-Devouring Toad spat out an acrid black venomous fire, which landed on the golden flying knife. At the same time, its long tongue swiftly swept, batting the golden flying knife away.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly. Dazzling blue light surged from his right fist, and he punched towards the void. A loud whooshing sound filled the air as a beam of blue light shot out. Ripples appeared in the void behind the Soul-Devouring Toad. A gigantic blue fist shadow materialized and, with overwhelming force, smashed onto the Soul-Devouring Toad's head. The Soul-Devouring Toad flew backward, its head having a large hole.

As soon as a miniature Soul-Devouring Toad left its body, a beam of green light descended from the sky, enveloping the miniature Soul-Devouring Toad and drawing it into a green gourd, where it vanished. The Soul-Devouring Toad's innate divine ability, Soul-Devouring Forbidden Light, specializes in harming souls. If refined into a treasure as an artifact spirit, it can take on a physical form to attack and be passed down as a clan-protecting treasure. Few treasures possess the ability to harm souls.

The other Soul-Devouring Toad was also killed by Niu Pan. Liu Qingfeng didn't exert much effort, as it was rare for them to visit the barren lands, so he always made sure to give them some benefits. If he had personally taken action, these two Soul-Devouring Toads would have been dealt with quickly.

Wang Changsheng took a demon core, a spirit, and three Colorful Ganoderma over ten thousand years old. Liu Qingfeng received three Colorful Ganoderma over twenty thousand years old. Song Yunlong took the Soul-Devouring Toad's spirit and seven Colorful Ganoderma over ten thousand years old. The remaining items were divided between Niu Pan and Xue Ji, with Niu Pan receiving the demon core.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, how about I trade you a section of forty-thousand-year-old Nine-Thunder Bamboo for that demon core?" Wang Changsheng took out a golden jade box, handed it to Niu Pan, and transmitted his voice. The Soul-Devouring Toad's spirit should be useful for the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada, and Wang Changsheng wanted to use it for cultivation.

Nine-Thunder Bamboo!

Niu Pan readily agreed and gave the demon core to Wang Changsheng. After dealing with the Soul-Devouring Toads, they continued their journey, disappearing into the vast mountains.

Two years later, they were by a turbulent river. The river surface churned violently, raising a colossal, sky-high wave. Wang Changsheng and the other four flew out from the riverbed, their faces pale and their eyes showing fear.

There were many strange insects and exotic beasts in the barren lands. Even with Liu Qingfeng leading the way, if they encountered fierce beasts with powerful divine abilities, they still had to keep a respectful distance. They encountered millions of human-faced scorpions, eight of which were Seventh-order. They joined forces to break through the encirclement, and Wang Changsheng used his water escape art to lead them in escaping from the riverbed.

They had encountered so many human-faced scorpions, and the Scorpion King was even mutated. This time, they owed a lot to Fellow Daoist Wang; otherwise, they might not have escaped so easily. Niu Pan's tone became much more friendly. Wang Changsheng cast the Soul-Suppressing Roar, causing large numbers of low-level human-faced scorpions to directly lose consciousness, which greatly reduced their pressure. Even the Seventh-order human-faced scorpions were affected. "It was the result of everyone's concerted efforts," Wang Changsheng humbly stated, adding that he merely did his part. Niu Pan smiled and said nothing more.

Liu Qingfeng took out a pale green beast hide with a topographical map on it. To the left of the river lay a dense green bamboo forest, and further to the left were rolling mountain ranges.

"This should be the place," Liu Qingfeng stated solemnly. That Three-Headed Flood Dragon Turtle had appeared in this vicinity, though they didn't know if its lair was here. Disciples from Zhenhai Palace had discovered a Seventh-order Three-Headed Flood Dragon Turtle in this vicinity. However, they dared not follow it, as they wouldn't be able to escape if they startled it, so they immediately returned to report.

"As long as it appeared here, we should be able to find some clues," Song Yunlong added, "However, my Snow Cloud Fox has been gravely poisoned and is unconscious, so it can't help."
