Chapter 581: The Tenth-Tier Earth Rhino Dragon
Chapter 581: The Tenth-Tier Earth Rhino Dragon
"The Grand Harmony Hall, Divine Transformation Peak, and Spirit Mountain Cliff, I never expected this Teleportation Array to be able to transport to several different locations."
After re-entering the Teleportation Array, Chu Ning carefully sensed the driving force of the array and couldn't help but ponder.
"This Grand Harmony Hall seems to be a place for cultivation and treasure storage, just like the Nine Transformations Palace.
But since the Ninth Derivative Ascendant hid the Annihilation Hammer in the Nine Transformations Palace, it's unlikely that the Grand Harmony Hall would have more treasures."
As for the Divine Transformation Peak and Spirit Mountain Cliff..."
After some hesitation, Chu Ning still chose to go to the Spirit Mountain Cliff.
After all, he had obtained the third volume of the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art in the Spiritless Mountain.
Chu Ning felt that there was a higher chance of encountering a Secret Realm at the Spirit Mountain Cliff.
Placing both the Origin Stones and Spirit Stones into the Teleportation Array, Chu Ning activated the array and headed towards the Spirit Mountain Cliff.
"It's a good thing I have so many Origin Stones; otherwise, an ordinary wandering cultivator wouldn't have this many.
Even if they knew about this Teleportation Array, they couldn't use it multiple times."
Chu Ning secretly sighed to himself, finally understanding why Origin Stones were so popular before.
As the space within the Teleportation Array fluctuated, Chu Ning appeared in an unfamiliar place.
Simultaneously, he unleashed the God-Sealing Technique, extending his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.
"There doesn't seem to be any other cultivators here.
But isn't this Teleportation Array supposed to lead to the Spirit Mountain Cliff? Why haven't we passed through the Dusty Valley?"
Chu Ning curiously observed the area ahead.
About a thousand meters away, the entire sky was shrouded in yellow sand, reminiscent of the sandstorm he had encountered on the Skyrim Prairie.
According to the map he had obtained from Dan Tianqi earlier, this place was not the Spirit Mountain Cliff but the Dusty Valley before it.
Chu Ning wondered if the Teleportation Array was intentionally set up this way or if something had changed later on.
At that moment, Chu Ning took out a hexagonal Law Banner from his Spirit Bag.
It was the Sand Disc he had obtained from Chunyu Zongji at the Celestial Palace.
Chu Ning flew and landed on the Law Banner, which immediately emitted a yellow glow, enveloping him.
The next moment, he transformed into a yellow beam of light and shot forward, plunging into the Dusty Valley.
"The sandstorm here is indeed similar to the one on the Skyrim Prairie.
Did the Ninth Derivative Ascendant travel the world and incorporate all the wonders into the various arrays and restrictions of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain?"
Chu Ning wondered as he quickly navigated through the sandstorm with the help of the Sand Disc.
Although he had extended his Divine Sense, the surrounding sandstorm limited his perception, preventing him from sensing too far.
As he continued forward, he didn't encounter any other cultivators.
After flying for about half an hour, Chu Ning felt that he had crossed half of the Dusty Valley.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, frantically fleeing in front of him.
As his Divine Sense detected the figure, Chu Ning's first instinct was to use the Sand Disc to dodge.
However, when his Divine Sense identified the person, Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"It's him?"
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning didn't dodge but instead approached the figure.
A hundred breaths later, the Sand Disc flew to an old Daoist's side.
The old Daoist, who was fleeing in a panic, looked at the approaching Law Banner with a cautious expression.
The next moment, as Chu Ning dispersed the yellow glow that was blocking his view, the old Daoist's face lit up with joy.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you've come just in time! Please help me; this beast is chasing me fiercely!"
Chu Ning glanced at the old Daoist's back and calmly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanchen, didn't you meet up with Fellow Daoist Yuanlang?
How is there a Tenth-Tier beast here?"
The visitor was none other than Xuanchenzi, who had accompanied Chu Ning and Yuanlang Elder into the mountain.
At that moment, he let out a bitter laugh.
"It's a long story, Fellow Daoist. I'll explain it to you later.
This Tenth-Tier Earth Rhino Dragon is an Ancient Divine Beast, and it's extremely powerful!"
As Xuanchenzi finished speaking, a creature resembling a rhinoceros with a pair of dragon horns and covered in dragon scales appeared before the two of them.
"Another Mid-stage Nascent Soul, what's the difference between that and seeking death?"
The Earth Rhino Dragon spoke, and in the next instant, its body flashed as it charged towards Chu Ning and Xuanchenzi.
In mid-air, the Tenth-Tier beast transformed into a middle-aged man.
In his hand appeared a massive stone hammer, which he swung down.
Instantly, two yellow hammer shadows attacked Chu Ning and Xuanchenzi.
"Oh, it even has a Magical Treasure?"
Chu Ning exclaimed in surprise, and the next moment, the Yellow Wind Banner was summoned and waved, transforming into two yellow dragons that swept towards the hammer shadows.
The two yellow dragons clashed with the hammer shadows, causing yellow glows to scatter in all directions.
This scene shocked the Earth Rhino Dragon in its middle-aged man form.
At that moment, the middle-aged man and Xuanchenzi suddenly felt a yellow beam enveloping them.
Instantly, the sky filled with wind and sand was isolated, and they, along with Chu Ning, found themselves trapped within a yellow mist shield.
"Sand Disc? Fellow Daoist Chu, you..."
Xuanchenzi, with his extensive knowledge, instantly recognized the treasure as the Sand Disc of the Sky Palace.
"I came across this treasure by chance," Chu Ning replied, glancing at the middle-aged man across from him.
The middle-aged man, also surprised, looked up at the yellow mist shield above and then down at the stone hammer in his hand.
He immediately flew away, brandishing the stone hammer and smashing it towards the yellow mist shield.
However, under the suppression of the Sand Disc, the Earth Rhino Dragon was unable to wield his magical treasure.
The spiritual energy within his body was also suppressed, allowing him to exert only a fraction of his power, making it impossible to break through the shield.
Upon seeing this, Chu Ning smiled slightly, and with a flash of his figure, he raised his hands.
Purple and blue flames shot out from his palms, one transforming into an azure lotus and the other into a crimson sun, attacking the Earth Rhino Dragon.
At the same time, he waved his hands, and countless silver thunders appeared in the sky, striking the dragon.
Feeling the power of Chu Ning's casual attacks, the Earth Rhino Dragon, in the form of the middle-aged man, had his expression change drastically.
His figure flickered, and he immediately reverted to his original form.
He opened his mouth and spat out several streams of yellow mist that rose to meet the flames.
He had transformed into a human form solely to better control his treasure, but now that it was unusable, his original form's attack and defense were naturally stronger.
However, he soon realized that returning to his original form didn't help much either.
The yellow mist he spat out was instantly scattered by the purple and blue spiritual flames.
The flames then fell onto the magical power shield surrounding his body.
The next moment, the contrasting forces of yin cold and extreme yang spiritual flames penetrated his body.
This ten-stage beast instantly experienced the sensation of being caught between ice and fire.
Even as an earth-attributed ancient divine beast known for its defense, its two bell-like eyes widened in shock.
As it opened its mouth to speak, the countless silver thunders in the sky transformed into a massive silver ball, striking it from above.
"Moo!!!
After enduring several heavy blows, the ten-stage beast finally let out a miserable cry.
Its body couldn't withstand the force and was slammed onto the ground.
This scene left Xuanchenzi beside them dumbfounded.
He was aware of Chu Ning's formidable strength, as even Yuanlang Elder seemed to have a hard time against him.
But now, seeing Chu Ning effortlessly subdue a ten-stage beast with a wave of his hand, it greatly shattered Xuanchenzi's perception.
The Earth Rhino Dragon felt the same.
Lying on the ground, it endured the yin cold and extreme yang spiritual flames, constantly countering them with its magical power.
It lifted its head, gazing at Chu Ning, who stood at a distance with a calm expression.
Its eyes were filled with disbelief.
Even though its magical power was suppressed to a mere tenth of its original strength, the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was also affected, yet he could still launch such powerful attacks.
This was far beyond its expectations.
Both man and beast were astounded, but Chu Ning remained calm.
The ancient divine beast's divine abilities were indeed formidable.
In a one-on-one confrontation, even with his own powerful abilities, it would likely take considerable effort to achieve such dominance.
But under the Sand Disc's suppression, he could exert three-tenths of his power, while the Earth Rhino Dragon was limited to a mere tenth.
Additionally, with the opponent unprepared, it wasn't surprising that Chu Ning's initial strike succeeded.
However, this earth-attributed ancient divine beast indeed possessed astonishing defensive capabilities.
Despite being suppressed by various means, it seemed to have sustained minimal injuries.
"A ten-stage Earth Rhino Dragon, you've cultivated such formidable abilities, and I wonder how many years it took.
You probably don't want to perish here, right?"
Hearing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator speak so boldly about him, the Earth Rhino Dragon felt absurd.
It opened its mouth to rebuke him.
But the next moment, seeing a deep purple flame appear between Chu Ning's hands, it chose to close its mouth and listen to what Chu Ning had to say.
"Judging by your appearance, you don't seem to be the guardian beast of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain.
I'll give you two choices. First, I'll take you out of the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, and you can follow me as a contracted spirit beast.
With your heavenly spirit beast's longevity, whether I pass away or ascend to the Demigod Realm, you'll gain your freedom."
"You want me to be your contracted spirit beast? Haha, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dares to speak so boldly!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon burst into laughter.
"Even a Demigod has entered the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, and you, a mid-stage Nascent Soul, think you can suppress me with a few tricks and leave safely.
It's simply laughable."
"Being mocked by this Earth Rhino Dragon, Chu Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said, "Good, it seems you've chosen the second path!"
"What second path?" A hint of coldness flashed in the Earth Rhino Dragon's eyes.
"Why should I choose..."
Before it could finish, Chu Ning's calm voice sounded once again.
"My magical treasure just needs the essence spirit of a Tier 10 Earth-attributed beast. You're lucky I'm giving you a decent end!"
As he spoke, purple and green spiritual flames shot out and landed on the Earth Rhino Dragon.
Instantly, half of the body of this Tier 10 spirit beast turned green, and the other half, purple.
"Moo!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon let out an angry roar and flew away.
Its body, enveloped in the two spiritual flames, charged towards the earthy yellow light barrier.
"Buzz!"
With this collision, the yellow light barrier formed by the Sand Disc began to tremble slightly.
"Moo!"
Seeing this, the Earth Rhino Dragon let out an excited roar.
The collision became increasingly fierce.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ning did not launch an attack at this moment.
Instead, Xuanchenzi, standing beside him, immediately summoned a flying sword, his face turning solemn.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I'll help you. Otherwise, if this beast breaks through the barrier, we might be in trouble."
At this moment, the Earth Rhino Dragon, perhaps sensing the threat, opened its mouth and sprayed out a massive yellow light pillar, striking the light barrier.
Simultaneously, its body slammed heavily into the barrier once more.
The next moment, the light barrier formed by the Sand Disc shattered.
"Moo!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon let out an excited howl.
It then transformed into a yellow escape light and charged towards Chu Ning.
Evidently, the Earth Rhino Dragon hated Chu Ning intensely for the pain it had just endured.
Seeing this, Chu Ning waved his hands, and green and purple flames erupted again.
"Hmph!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon coldly snorted, and the yellow glow on its body intensified. It charged forward without dodging or evading.
The Ziyang Spirit Flame made contact first, and wherever it passed, the yellow glow on the Earth Rhino Dragon's body instantly dispersed.
At the same time, a force several times stronger than before surged into its body from the Ziyang Spirit Flame, causing its internal spiritual power to instantly go haywire.
"What's happening? How does this flame have such a powerful destructive force?"
A hint of panic flashed in the Earth Rhino Dragon's eyes.
From afar, Chu Ning's eyes gleamed with a smile.
"This beast's defense is indeed formidable, especially against Earth-attributed magical power.
So, when I suppressed its magical power earlier, the Ziyang Spirit Flame and Dark Yin Blue Flame I unleashed also caused it immense pain.
However, it wasn't enough to inflict truly fatal damage.
The Sand Disc is excellent for restraining enemies, but it depends on the opponent.
Against a spirit beast with such astonishing physical defense, it hinders the full potential of my attacks."
Chu Ning had just realized this, which was why he didn't stop the Earth Rhino Dragon from breaking the light barrier.
Instead, he cooperated in removing the Sand Disc's restraint.
The beast had no time to think; its first instinct after breaking free was to attack Chu Ning.
But it was in for a bitter experience.
Chu Ning's fully unleashed Ziyang Spirit Flame was unstoppable, even for the Earth Rhino Dragon. The power of the Ziyang Spirit Flame continuously destroyed its internal spiritual power.
The Earth Rhino Dragon channeled all its spiritual power, relying on its formidable defense to withstand the Ziyang Spirit Flame.
Its eyes, fixed on Chu Ning, turned bloodshot.
Just then, a green flame flew towards it.
The Earth Rhino Dragon didn't have time to react, and the Tier 10 spirit beast instantly turned into a green ice sculpture.
Having just experienced the sensation of its blood seemingly burning, the Earth Rhino Dragon now felt as if its blood was freezing.
Despite its formidable physical defense, it couldn't withstand the torment of two spiritual flames.
As its physical body lost sensation under the influence of this cold energy, its essence spirit was being engulfed.
The Earth Rhino Dragon's heart jolted with surprise, and an earthy yellow shadow suddenly detached from its body, attempting to forcibly fly away.
But at that moment, the green ice that had trapped it instantly melted.
"Not good!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon recalled Chu Ning's earlier words, and its heart sank with dread.
It tried to control its essence spirit to return to its body.
But it was too late.
Above its head, an earthy yellow spirit sword appeared.
An overwhelming devouring force emanated from the sword.
The Earth Rhino Dragon realized something was wrong and tried to resist, but the devouring force from the sword was too powerful for its injured body to withstand.
After a brief struggle, the Earth Rhino Dragon's essence spirit was directly sucked into Chu Ning's Earth Spirit Sword.
The Earth Rhino Dragon then fell heavily to the ground, barely clinging to life.
