Chapter 3673: Swallowing Heaven Rat

"Our luck is good," said Heavenly Blessing Divine Monarch, a pleased expression on his face.

"Good luck? Fellow Daoist Jiang, our luck is exceptionally good. I now truly believe you possess the Body of Heavenly Blessing," Ni Tianlong said with a smile. He hadn't believed in such a body before, but the facts now stood before him.

Heavenly Blessing Divine Monarch's luck was incredibly good; they had found many cultivation resources rarely seen in the outside world. So far, the Soul-Sculpting Divine Milk was the most precious. The Jade Sandalwood Immortal Fruit and the Soul-Sculpting Divine Milk were both incredibly valuable. Previously, even obtaining one item like an eighth-tier Lightning Absorption Pearl would have been considered precious. To have acquired three such invaluable items in this training ground indicated truly extraordinary luck.

"There's no such thing as a Body of Heavenly Blessing, Fellow Daoist Ni, you're joking. If not for your immense strength, we would have already perished at the hands of the demon beasts," Heavenly Blessing Divine Monarch said, his face filled with admiration. He was only at the early Mahayana stage, and his strength was far inferior to Ni Tianlong's.

"Quickly collect the Soul-Sculpting Divine Milk! I hope we can encounter even more valuable things next," Ni Tianxue urged.

They collected the Soul-Sculpting Divine Milk. Heavenly Blessing Divine Monarch received five bottles, while the Ni family took the majority. Given the preciousness of the Soul-Sculpting Divine Milk, it could be exchanged for rare materials with other Mahayana cultivators. After ensuring they had left nothing behind, they departed from the area.

On a vast, boundless green grassland, a massive crimson mushroom cloud rose into the sky. A golden light shot out from the mushroom cloud, revealing Rong Xin. His left arm was gone, his face was bloodless, and his eyes were filled with terror. He hadn't escaped far when a powerful spatial force materialized, immobilizing him.

A colossal Bi Fang flew from a distance, opening its mouth to spew a stream of crimson flames that engulfed Rong Xin. Rong Xin let out an agonizing scream, but he was unable to move, held captive by the spatial force. The Bi Fang's sharp claws descended, piercing his head. The Giant race possessed powerful physical bodies, but they were no match for a late-Mahayana Bi Fang.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body. The Bi Fang transformed into a graceful girl in a red dress. She grabbed the miniature Nascent Soul and performed a soul-searching technique.

"Giants!" The red-dressed girl's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Five men and one woman arrived. With the seven of them working together, the treasure hunter was no match for them. "Here, Die Wei." The red-dressed girl tossed the miniature Nascent Soul to Die Wei. Die Wei swallowed the miniature Nascent Soul, a satisfied expression on her face.

"Another Profound Sky Treasure, the Qian Jin Dragon-Slaying Blade!" The golden-robed man was overjoyed.

"Let's go! Continue searching for other treasure hunters. We hope to obtain a defensive Profound Sky Fragment or a complete Profound Sky Treasure. Even acquiring a Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit would be good," the red-dressed girl instructed, and the seven individuals departed from the area.

In a vast, boundless green bamboo forest, rumbling sounds echoed incessantly. Accompanied by a dragon's roar that pierced the clouds, gigantic crimson mushroom clouds rose into the sky. An area of a hundred thousand *li* was transformed into a sea of crimson flames, and countless green bamboo plants were reduced to ashes.

A blood-soaked crimson flood dragon flew out from the sea of crimson flames. It hadn't flown far when a yellow glow emerged from the inferno. The crimson flood dragon tried to evade, but a powerful gravitational force materialized, pulling its body uncontrollably towards the ground. Simultaneously, a massive yellow beast claw appeared and slammed into its body, causing numerous scales to fall off.

The crimson flood dragon's massive body crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a large crater. The yellow glow enveloped the crimson flood dragon, and its body rapidly shrank, being pulled into the mouth of a yellow giant rat and disappearing.

As the void rippled, a gigantic hand with a qilin pattern appeared out of thin air and slammed down. Simultaneously, an ethereal melody resonated, and a colossal palm covered in mysterious musical notes swept forth. Wherever the colossal palm passed, numerous cracks appeared in the void, and the ground ruptured. As the yellow giant rat was about to cast a spell to resist, a dozen thick chains appeared, coiling around its mouth, preventing it from opening it. The gigantic hand and the colossal palm successively struck the yellow giant rat's body. With deafening roars, the yellow giant rat's body sank into the ground, raising clouds of dust.

A clap of thunder sounded, and an immensely thick silver lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the yellow giant rat. Silver lightning engulfed its body. The ground spontaneously combusted, creating a large expanse of crimson flames. Simultaneously, numerous green flying swords shot forth, and a golden saber light and a white sword light tore through the sky, slashing towards the yellow giant rat.

A colossal rat phantom appeared high in the sky. It opened its mouth and spewed a stream of yellow glow, enveloping the crimson flames, green flying swords, golden saber light, and white sword light, drawing them into its mouth and making them vanish. A massive golden vortex swept forth and was also devoured by the giant rat's phantom.

The yellow giant rat's massive body struggled violently. Its phantom spewed a stream of yellow glow onto the chains, but it had no effect. The sound of surging waves erupted as a vast expanse of sapphire blue seawater surged forward. Before the giant rat's phantom could react, ripples spread through the void above its head, and a massive spatial vortex materialized. Dozens of thick spatial rifts appeared, tearing through the giant rat's phantom. The giant rat's phantom dissipated and vanished. The yellow giant rat's body trembled slightly, emitting a sharp, piercing shriek.

The sound of surging waves erupted again as a vast expanse of sapphire blue seawater surged forward with astonishing force. Yellow light flared from the yellow giant rat's body, and its size expanded dozens of times. The chains remained tightly coiled around its mouth. From each of its eyes, it shot out a beam of yellow light. The blue seawater, upon touching the yellow light, immediately halted. The void in front of it vibrated and distorted, and a giant blue fist flashed out, slamming into the yellow giant rat. The yellow giant rat was sent flying backward, knocking down numerous green bamboo plants.

As soon as it landed, a silver light flashed, and the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda appeared. It spewed a stream of silver glow, enveloping the yellow giant rat. The yellow giant rat's body rapidly shrank and was drawn into the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda, vanishing from sight.

A phantom image flew over, appearing near the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda in a flash. It was the Spirit-Crossing Flying Chariot.

"Devouring Sky Rat!" Wang Tun Tian was overjoyed. They were searching for immortal wood but unexpectedly, the Demon Seeking Mirror reacted. Wang Tun Tian used his spiritual eyes to scout ahead and discovered this Devouring Sky Rat.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew into the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda to slay the Devouring Sky Rat. The Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda shook violently; the Devouring Sky Rat's resistance was considerable.

After a significant period, the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Pagoda stopped shaking. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew out of it. They successfully slew the Devouring Sky Rat, obtaining another True Spirit Core and the Devouring Sky Rat's spirit. This meant they now possessed the spirits of four different True Spirits.

Wang Changsheng lightly flicked his wrist, and a yellow storage bracelet flew out towards Wang Tun Tian. "The corpse is yours to enjoy," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
