Chapter 95: This is Foundation Establishment!

Upon hearing the name Black Rooster Old Demon, Qi Yuan's heart tightened.

It could be said that the Black Rooster Old Demon had always been like a sharp sword hanging over Qi Yuan's head.

A suspected Mid-stage Divine Infancy Cultivator, who was on the verge of breaking through to the Late Divine Infancy stage, the Black Rooster Old Demon gave Qi Yuan immense pressure.

From slaying Chu Tianxiong to annihilating the Black Mountain Sect, Qi Yuan had always felt a thorn in his heart, and that was the Black Rooster Old Demon.

Now, seeing the intentions of the nine Divine Infancy Cultivators in the room, Qi Yuan's mind was filled with exciting speculations.

Just then, the old man leaning on a cane spoke, "The Black Rooster Old Demon is a demon cultivator. In the cultivation world of Great Shang, he has been a scourge, indiscriminately slaughtering fellow cultivators."

"The Black Mountain Sect has been wreaking havoc, committing atrocities, abducting and pillaging, and doing all sorts of evil deeds."

"Now that we've located the Black Rooster Old Demon, we must use thunderous means to eliminate him!"

The Black Rooster Old Demon was one of the few Mid-stage Divine Infancy Cultivators in the cultivation world of Great Shang, just a step away from the Late Divine Infancy stage.

Additionally, as the Black Rooster Old Demon had no sect and excelled in escape techniques, making his whereabouts unpredictable, the major sects in the cultivation world of Great Shang were reluctant to offend him.

However, now that the Black Rooster Old Demon's mansion had been discovered and he was secluded in it for his breakthrough, they had gathered to plot his extermination.

Of course, Qi Yuan believed that the main reason for this was the Black Rooster Old Demon's imminent breakthrough to the Late Divine Infancy stage.

Once he broke through, the cultivation world of Great Shang would truly change.

These powerful cultivators didn't want another strong individual causing trouble in their midst.

"Exterminating the Black Rooster Old Demon is a righteous act, and it's what we cultivators wish for!"

"We must exterminate the Black Rooster Old Demon, entered the cave.

The twenty-plus cultivators present all cast a spell to conceal their auras and flew towards the depths of the Demon Cave.

Before long, the old man with the cane stopped.

"This place is called the Six Demon Cave, and there are six cave entrances in total.

We will enter through the middle one and head straight for the Black Rooster Old Demon!"

The nine Divine Infancy Cultivators had no objections, and they all wore disguises as they entered through the central cave entrance.

At this moment, one of the Essence Core Cultivators spoke, "There are five more cave entrances here, and with thirteen of us, we can form five teams."

Following this cultivator's suggestion, five teams quickly formed.

Qi Yuan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was left alone, as no one wanted to team up with him.

After all, entering the Six Demon Cave was extremely dangerous, and no Essence Core Cultivator wanted to team up with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, fearing they would become a burden.

Moreover, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to participate in such a significant event, they must be a genius valued by their sect's higher-ups.

If something happened to these geniuses, the Divine Infancy Cultivators might take their anger out on them.

It was better to stay out of trouble.

Qi Yuan, however, didn't feel anything in particular.

He was content to be alone.

Just then, a hoarse voice echoed, "I'm willing to team up with this young man." An old man, also shrouded in a black robe, stepped forward towards Qi Yuan.

The crowd watched the old man without saying a word.

"Since it's like this, five teams have been formed. Let's enter the cave."

The five teams of Essence Core Cultivators entered the cave entrances they had chosen.

Qi Yuan and the old man also ventured into the cave.

The interior of the cave became dim.

The cave was vast, with a diameter of about twenty meters. Its terrain was unusual, made of incredibly solid stones.

The old man faced Qi Yuan with politeness, "My name is Liu, and I'm a Mid-stage Essence Core Cultivator. If we encounter danger, we should help each other."

The words of Old Man Liu were extremely polite. A Mid-stage Essence Core Cultivator helping a Foundation Establishment Cultivator? No, it was the Essence Core Cultivator taking care of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Old Man Liu spoke this way solely to befriend Qi Yuan.

Qiyuan nodded, "Alright."

Old Liu's face was filled with reverence.

As a wandering cultivator, he had struggled to reach the Essence Core stage, and in the Great Shang Kingdom, he was considered a powerful cultivator.

However, compared to the three major sects and the medium-sized sects with Divine Infancy cultivators, his Essence Core cultivation was insignificant.

Now, with his advanced age and many children, Old Liu, who had lived a frugal life, also wanted to make connections with some geniuses.

Therefore, he took the risk of entering the cave with Qiyuan.

He had already decided that no matter what, he would protect this genius's safety.

Of course, he was gambling with this decision.

If this genius turned out to be ungrateful or cruel, his gamble would fail completely.

The two flew through the cave.

"Who dares to intrude upon the Six Demons Cave?"

Just then, a cold shout came from ahead.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators holding magical tools stepped forward and blocked Qiyuan and Old Liu's path.

The leader had a fierce look in his eyes, and his body exuded a strong aura of blood, indicating he had killed many.

At this moment, a look of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

Old Liu, upon seeing this, did not take action but instead observed Qiyuan's reaction.

Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing to this genius before them.

He couldn't steal the limelight from this genius.

Qiyuan took a step forward and shouted, "You old fool!"

With a single punch, he sent it out with bare hands, and before the three cultivators could react, they were all shattered into pieces.

Qiyuan acted swiftly, like a gust of wind, and didn't bother with idle chatter.

Old Liu stared with wide eyes.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Defeated with a single punch?

Even if he were at the mid-stage of the Essence Core, he couldn't achieve such an effortless victory.

This person was not just a genius but a prodigy!

Perhaps even the Great Shang Ten Paragons weren't this powerful.

Old Liu's heart pounded.

He had guessed right; this person was indeed a prodigy.

"Your strength, fellow Daoist, is truly terrifying. Even I feel ashamed in comparison!" Old Liu flattered as he stepped forward.

His words were a show of humility, as the strongest among Essence Core cultivators were Golden Core cultivators.

Summoning a Golden Core, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would have no power to resist.

Qiyuan sighed, "It's not that impressive. I know a senior sister who is at the Foundation Establishment stage and far more powerful than me."

Qiyuan was referring to the Ice Mountain Tyrantess.

She was a true powerhouse.

Old Liu, upon hearing Qiyuan's words, felt a strange emotion.

If this wasn't impressive, then what were all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Great Shang Kingdom, including the Ten Paragons, worth? He couldn't describe his feelings about Qiyuan.

He continued to flatter, "The geniuses you befriend must be peerless talents."

After finishing off the Foundation Establishment cultivators, Old Liu quickly cleaned up the battlefield and said, "The people here have been killed, so the cultivators inside must be aware. We should hurry in and not give them time to prepare."

The two quickly moved forward.

Suddenly, Old Liu stopped in his tracks, gazing at the cage ahead with a look of regret.

"The Black Rooster Old Demon deserves to die!"

In the cage ahead, on the left were hundreds of young naked women, and on the right were hundreds of young naked men.

These men and women were imprisoned, their eyes vacant and lifeless, having endured unimaginable horrors.

Even when they saw Qiyuan and Old Liu arrive, they didn't pay them any attention, as if they had lost all hope in life.

Qiyuan's expression was unreadable.

Just then, Old Liu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "Oh no, this cave is guarded by the Black Rooster Old Demon's disciple, Zuyuan True Monarch!

Zuyuan True Monarch, a late-stage Essence Core cultivator, is the most beloved disciple of the Black Rooster Old Demon. He is deeply versed in the Dao and possesses astonishing combat prowess!"

Old Liu's heart sank, sensing impending disaster.

With Zuyuan True Monarch guarding this cave, they had to leave immediately.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go quickly!" In such a situation, escaping was the top priority.

If it weren't for the Divine Infancy cultivator, Zuyuan True Monarch would be invincible.

"Hmph, you have some insight, but it's too late." A disdainful voice echoed, and Zuyuan True Monarch appeared in a long robe of jade green, exuding an ethereal aura.

The men and women in the two cages, who had previously looked lifeless, now revealed fear in their eyes, trembling as if they were facing a human demon.

Old Liu stared at Zuyuan True Monarch, his face turning pale.

Escape... there was no escape.

He clenched his teeth and said to Qiyuan, "I'll hold him off. You go first! I am Liu Guan, a cultivator from Bloodless City."

This way, at least one of them might survive.

If he tried to escape, Zuyuan True Monarch would surely stop him.

Qiyuan, being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, couldn't possibly stop Zuyuan True Monarch.

So, before his death, he revealed his name, hoping that if Qiyuan escaped, he would remember this favor and take care of his family.

As for exposing his identity, if he died, Zuyuan True Monarch would eventually find out who he was.

Liu Guan gritted his teeth, rushing towards Zuyuan True Monarch with the determination of a martyr.

Zuyuan True Monarch's eyes held a mocking smile, and without any hesitation, he directly summoned his Golden Core for refinement.

With the sudden turn of events, a quick battle was necessary.

Qi Yuan, upon witnessing this, grew anxious.

"Old Liu, you're being unfair, even fighting me for a kill!"

Withered Tree True Monarch had specifically instructed him to slay an Essence Core Cultivator.

Currently, within this cave, there was only Zuyuan True Monarch, and Qi Yuan was determined not to let Liu Guan have him.

Qi Yuan unsheathed his kitchen knife.

"Kill!"

Qi Yuan's speed far surpassed Liu Guan's.

Before Liu Guan could even hear Qi Yuan's voice, he saw Qi Yuan's figure already beside Zuyuan True Monarch.

Liu Guan's eyes widened in disbelief.

How could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator be so fast? But as he saw Zuyuan True Monarch's Golden Core being summoned, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't touch the Golden Core!"

The biggest difference between an Essence Core Cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was the possession of a Golden Core.

The Golden Core, formed from the essence of Golden Core Spirit Materials, was the solidification of profound energy.

For Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their profound energy in the Dantian was still in a liquid state.

However, the Golden Core was where profound energy solidified, floating above the Golden Core Spirit Material.

Indestructible, this was just one of its most insignificant special features.

"Hmph, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator dares to intrude the Six Demons Cave, already on the path to death!"

The massive Golden Core emitted a dense Core Light.

Each ray of Core Light was concentrated profound energy.

A single ray could scorch a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

However, Qi Yuan's kitchen knife, unafraid of any Core Light, directly cleaved Zuyuan True Monarch's Golden Core.

"Your Golden Core is of poor quality, unable to withstand a single strike of my kitchen knife!" Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a mocking smile.

The indestructible Golden Core suddenly cracked.

With a crisp snap, the Golden Core shattered.

Profuse spiritual energy rained down like a storm.

Zuyuan True Monarch's eyes widened in horror, and he clutched his chest, "How... how..."

The Golden Core he painstakingly formed had been cleaved by a kitchen knife?

And by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, no less! "Puh." Zuyuan True Monarch spat out a mouthful of blood. A flash of knife light, and his entire body was directly sliced.

Qi Yuan held his kitchen knife, blowing on the bloody blade.

The blood instantly rolled off.

Not far away, Old Liu watched this scene, completely stunned.

What had he just witnessed? A kitchen knife shattering a Golden Core? Was this a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

The Great Shang Ten Paragons wouldn't even be worthy of fetching his shoes! Was this a Peerless Talent?

He swallowed hard, his heart trembling with shock and excitement. He had bet correctly.

Approaching Qi Yuan, his face filled with even more flattery.

However, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred.

A massive roar echoed from all directions.

"Dream on if you think I'll let you have my Black Rooster Old Demon's treasures!"

Accompanying the roar, a huge boom reverberated, and Liu Guan felt an indescribable blast resonating deep within his soul.

His face paled, and he collapsed.

Qi Yuan, holding his kitchen knife, shouted, "Who the hell let out such a loud fart!"

Just then, he had heard a loud fart.

Unfortunately, no one responded.

He looked over, and Liu Guan was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

"No way, knocked out by a fart?"

...

Deep within the Six Demons Cave.

The nine Divine Infancy Cultivators were in tattered clothing, and none of them looked in good shape.

The old man with a cane had an additional large hole in his chest, and blood kept flowing.

"The Black Rooster Old Demon is indeed the Black Rooster Old Demon. Even on the brink of death, his counterattack managed to severely injure three of us!"

"If not for a fellow Daoist blocking the final Divine Soul Attack, which fell upon us, at least three of us would've met our end here." The hunchbacked old woman looked at Withered Tree True Monarch, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Because this cultivator's Divine Soul strength had astonishingly reached the Divine Infancy stage.

Among those present, only his Divine Soul strength surpassed that of the Black Rooster Old Demon.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Several people present expressed their gratitude to Withered Tree True Monarch.

Withered Tree True Monarch's expression remained unchanged, "We'll rest here briefly, then leave this place."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They couldn't separate.

Otherwise, the injured might be secretly finished off by someone.

They didn't trust each other at all.

"The Black Rooster Old Demon is finally gone. Our Great Shang cultivation world can finally welcome a peaceful era of a hundred years." An old man sighed, his emotions stirred.

The senior cultivators present all felt a sense of relief.

This battle not only eliminated the Black Rooster Old Demon, but the treasures he left in his cave also now belonged to them.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan glanced at Old Liu, seeing that he wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Qi Yuan suddenly turned around, "This fart was too much, knocking out a living person is one thing, but even reviving the dead!"

He looked over, and the Zuyuan True Monarch he had slain earlier was now alive.

"This is ridiculous!"
