Awakening the intelligence panel, the liver becomes a fairy

Qin Wang stood with Zhang Fujiang and the others at the outermost edge of the Bihai Plain, gazing far into the sky where thirteen Nascent Soul Realm experts hovered. Although they were just small black dots in the sky, even with their keen eyes, Qin Wang and the others had to observe very carefully to spot them.

However, the thirteen Nascent Soul experts continuously radiated terrifying auras, seemingly announcing their arrival.

Zhang Fujiang observed this situation and questioned, “Master, aren’t they being foolish? By recklessly emitting their auras, aren’t they directly informing the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile of their plans to launch a surprise attack? If the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile becomes aware, won’t their surprise attack fail?”

Qin Wang did not answer.

Jiang Haotian, being a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator close to Core Formation and well-informed, understood the reason immediately. Seeing Qin Wang’s silence, he realized Qin Wang was disdainful of such a naive question.

“No matter if the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile is aware of the impending attack, it doesn’t matter. When a beast reaches that level, it will attract a thunder calamity. After enduring the thunder calamity, most beasts enter a period of extreme weakness. Even if they know humans are planning an attack, what can they do? They can only endure. If they survive, they become a great beast king and enjoy a millennium of life. If they don’t survive, it is their fate.”

Jiang Haotian explained.

“I see. No wonder there are so few Ninth-Order Beasts over the years; this is the root cause,” Zhang Fujiang realized and nodded.

Yan Cangwu, standing aside, bit his lip and looked at the thirteen Nascent Soul Realm experts in the sky with mixed emotions. More specifically, he focused on one of the Nascent Soul experts.

Although the distance was too great for him to see the other’s face clearly, that aura was unforgettable.

Yan Changsong, one of the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Yan family in the Da Yan Immortal Dynasty, was among the weaker Nascent Soul ancestors, ranked at the very bottom.

Knowing that his cultivation was difficult to improve, Yan Changsong had indulged in power and lust since reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He even liked to compete with younger generations in his family for women.

Such family scandals were very embarrassing to reveal, but for Yan Changsong, it was of no concern. It was a blessing for those ants to be favored by a Nascent Soul ancestor like him.

Yan Cangwu had once been very fond of an outsider woman, but Yan Changsong forcibly took her away using coercive means. After that night, Yan Changsong abandoned her, leading the woman to commit suicide due to unbearable humiliation.

This was Yan Cangwu’s eternal pain, buried deep within his heart, and he had never told anyone. He knew he had no chance of harming Yan Changsong in his lifetime.

But now, the opportunity had arrived!

Yan Cangwu clenched his fists and looked at Qin Wang.

“Master.”

Yan Cangwu suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud.

The sudden change stunned Zhang Fujiang and Jiang Haotian.

They didn’t understand what was happening to Yan Cangwu. Although Qin Wang was their master, he rarely required them to kneel.

Qin Wang glanced at Yan Cangwu.

“What’s the matter?”

Qin Wang asked directly, without any preamble.

Yan Cangwu took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, allowing him to speak normally.

“Master, among those thirteen Nascent Soul experts, I recognize one named Yan Changsong. He has the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage, and is the weakest among the Nascent Soul experts. I have a grudge against him and hope that Master can grant me this opportunity to torture his soul.”

Yan Cangwu said, then immediately kowtowed to Qin Wang.

Thud, thud, thud, the sounds were loud, and his forehead was even bleeding from the force.

He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and even without intentionally training his body, his physical strength exceeded that of ordinary people. The fact that he could break his forehead and cause bleeding showed the intensity of his effort.

“A Nascent Soul’s soul, do you know how valuable that is? Do you know how much it will help the Five Ghosts grow?” Qin Wang asked calmly, not moved by the other’s sincerity.

Yan Cangwu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

“I am willing to become a death warrior.”

Yan Cangwu spoke each word with determination.

Zhang Fujiang and Jiang Haotian were both stunned.

The term “death warrior” referred to something even more brutal than ordinary death warriors. There was a cultivation technique in the cultivation world that, once practiced, promised rapid advancement—Foundation Establishment in a year, Core Formation in five years, Nascent Soul in ten years, and even Transformation Realm in a century.

However, once practiced, one must pledge allegiance to the master, becoming a weapon in the master’s hand, unable to disobey any command. This type of pledge was even more terrifying than the soul-blood contract; not even a supreme power could break it, as it was a manifestation of the heavenly rules. Escaping these rules was impossible unless one ascended.

Even so, this was not the greatest flaw. The most fatal flaw was the Soul Pain.

Soul Pain, as the name suggests, is the torment of the soul, and it worsens with cultivation. It occurs for an hour every day at midnight. Even the most determined individuals could only reach Core Formation, and only at the early stage, because the pain at the mid-Core Formation stage was unbearable.

Thus, the individual who reached mid-Core Formation could not endure the pain and chose to commit suicide.

This was why Yan Cangwu was willing to become Qin Wang’s death warrior.

Zhang Fujiang and Jiang Haotian were completely taken aback. They never expected that Yan Cangwu harbored such deep hatred for Yan Changsong and was willing to become a death warrior.

“Have you made up your mind?”

Qin Wang raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Cangwu with interest.

“I have made up my mind. I only hope Master will grant my request.”

Yan Cangwu looked at Qin Wang with fervent determination.

“Alright, I will give Yan Changsong to you.”

Qin Wang nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Master!”

Yan Cangwu kowtowed again, then stood up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the small black dot in the sky.

At this moment, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile seemed to sense something, opening its eyes and looking up at the sky.

Roar!

A roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed.

At the same time, the previously clear sky was suddenly covered with thick dark clouds. These clouds were like mountains, pressing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe.

At this moment, even the thirteen Nascent Soul experts dared not stay in the sky, fearing that the thunderstorm might mistake them for aiding the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, with flashes of blood red visible in the clouds.

Onlookers gasped.

“It’s indeed the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm!”

“Just seeing this thunderstorm gives me a creepy feeling; it’s terrifying.”

“I wonder what the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile feels like under the thunderstorm.”

“The might of heaven and earth is truly terrifying.”

On the other side, the thirteen Nascent Soul experts watched the thunderstorm in the sky with great seriousness.

Although human cultivators’ Transformation Thunderstorms are not as fierce as those of beasts, they could still gain some insights.

Perhaps watching a beast’s thunderstorm could provide some enlightenment.

Rumble, rumble!

The thunder grew louder, and a blood-red thunder dragon began to emerge from the clouds, revealing its form.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile glared at the dark clouds above without any fear.

The Thunderstorm!

This was the punishment and test from heaven for those who defied the heavens.

However, since beasts are not favored by heaven, their thunderstorm is even more dangerous and fierce.

So what?

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was confident it could withstand the thunderstorm. With the help of the Xuanwu Earth Array Qin Wang had previously set up underground, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile had even more reason to be arrogant.

Thus, it did not plan to stay on the ground and wait for the thunderstorm.

It would take the initiative.

Roar!

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile roared toward the sky.

At this moment, the dark clouds prepared, and the blood-red thunder dragon disappeared from view.

The entire Bihai Plain fell silent.

The human cultivators and the million beasts all waited.

Boom!!!!!!!

With a thunderous sound that shattered the heavens, a blood-red thunder dragon descended from the center of the dark clouds, roaring toward the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was undaunted and roared as it ascended to meet the thunder dragon.

In the astonished gazes of the human cultivators and the million beasts, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile collided with the thunder dragon.

Boom!!!!!!!

The heavens and earth trembled.

A terrifying shockwave erupted, spreading outwards.

The ground within ten miles of the thunderstorm was overturned.

Nearby beasts were thrown into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

The impact alone had such tremendous force.

In the air, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was covered in wounds and appeared even fiercer.

Although it successfully broke through the first layer of the thunderstorm, the cost was severe.

Its entire body was charred, and its scales were extensively damaged.

Soon, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile could not hold on and fell heavily to the ground.

Boom!

The immense impact caused a slight tremor in the earth.

Dust filled the air, obscuring everyone’s view.

People could only faintly sense that the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile’s aura had become much weaker.

Seeing this, everyone sighed.

“Beasts are indeed beasts; they are so foolish.”

“Yes, daring to provoke the thunderstorm is truly stupid.”

“If it had stayed on the ground and endured the first layer of the thunderstorm properly, it wouldn’t have been so severely injured.”

“It seems it will be hard for it to get through the remaining five layers of the thunderstorm.”

People shook their heads and sighed.

From a distance.

Qin Wang nodded secretly.

It seemed that even if he did not intervene and help set up the Xuanwu Earth Array, the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile could still survive the thunderstorm, though it would inevitably enter a weakened state.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile was indeed formidable. Unless something unexpected happened, it would surely become a great beast king.

Zhang Fujiang, Yan Cangwu, and Jiang Haotian understood this point as well.

“Congratulations, Master, on soon obtaining a Transformation Realm beast pet.”

The three said in unison.

Qin Wang smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the thirteen Nascent Soul experts.

“Not only will the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile reach the Transformation Realm, but the Five Ghosts should also reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Qin Wang said with a smile.

Zhang Fujiang and the others shivered involuntarily.

Using so many Nascent Soul experts to feed the magic pets would make others consider him a devilish cultivator if they knew.

However, others would have no way of knowing such things.

At this moment.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile arrived underground and began activating the Xuanwu Earth Array as instructed by Qin Wang.

The array’s marvel lay in its ability to increase its defensive power infinitely as long as enough spirit stones were provided.

Naturally, to withstand an attack from a Transformation Realm true monarch, millions of spirit stones were needed for one attack.

Given the scarcity of spirit stones in the South Region, even the Tianchu Immortal Dynasty had only eight or nine billion spirit stones in its treasury. After Qin Wang killed so many powerful figures and plundered their storage bags, he finally gathered ten billion spirit stones to set up the array.

It could be said that he had exhausted the wealth of an entire immortal dynasty to create this defensive array.

If Chu Yunxiao knew about this, he would likely be enraged enough to come back to life just to die of anger again.

Unfortunately, his soul had already dissipated, with no chance of reincarnation, let alone revival.

A quarter of an hour later, the sky darkened again as the second layer of the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm descended.

The second blood-red thunder dragon struck the protective shield of the Xuanwu Earth Array.

Boom!!!!!!!

Dust flew, and the earth trembled.

The Xuanwu Earth Array instantly exploded two million spirit stones.

Two million spirit stones turned to powder, their spiritual energy drained and exploded into fragments.

This was only the second layer of the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm.

Another quarter-hour later, the third layer of the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm descended.

Boom!!!!!!

Four million spirit stones exploded into fragments.

Then came the fourth layer of the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm.

Boom!!!!!!

Eight million spirit stones exploded.

And the fifth layer of the Blood Calamity Thunderstorm.

Boom!!!!!!

Sixteen million spirit stones exploded.

Thus, the entire defensive array was covered in a thick layer of spirit stone dust.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile looked at the gathering power of the thunderstorm.

It knew that only one layer of thunderstorm remained.

Since it had already withstood the first layer of the thunderstorm, it could not retreat now.

The Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile roared and charged out of the array towards the gathering thunderstorm.

The thunderstorm seemed provoked by the challenge from the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Blood Crocodile.

The final thunderstorm dragon was larger and more solid than the previous five, almost appearing as a real blood-red thunder dragon, with every scale visible.

The two forces collided.

Boom!!!!!!!!

A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, shattering the dark clouds above and even affecting the Xuanwu Earth Array below.

Bang, bang, bang.

A large number of spirit stones exploded.

Even the residual impact caused the Xuanwu Earth Array to drain two million spirit stones of spiritual energy.

The final thunderstorm’s power was truly fearsome.
