Chapter 238 – The Real Target

　　”What kind of thing are you again?

　　A guy who is inhuman and not a ghost, how dare you come to get in my honor’s way?

　　Get lost!”

　　Taotie’s violent temper could not be suppressed.

　　Once a top-tier ancient beast entered a fighting stance, its ferocious aura and bloodthirsty berserk instincts would expand dramatically, and the appearance of Tuoba Hong forced the Taotie to block the rhythm of devouring the spiritual essence in the space, angering this flood-level big brother even more.

　　With a furious curse, the Taotie’s huge front paw slapped down in the air, erupting with the most primal destructive power, almost causing the critical boundary of this ancient battlefield to quake!

　　One must know that the reason why the Dragon Slaying Ancient Battlefield had been able to exist for tens of thousands of years in the depths of the seabed isolated from the endless pressure of the deep sea was all because of the True Dragon Realm that remained within the divine temple that was maintaining it.

　　In the end, the complete dragon source within Mu Kengtian’s body was not broken, so the true dragon soul was not completely silenced, and the domain naturally continued to exist.

　　This claw of Taotie’s was able to make the entire God-level True Dragon Domain tremble, so it was clear how terrifying the full-bodied Taotie was.

　　However, Tuoba Hong did not seem to be too nervous, this guy comes from the Ghost Shadow Cultivator lineage, speed is his greatest capital, at this moment to enhance to the peak state, the speed can be said to be even higher, theoretically speaking, he is the most restrained Taotie amongst the people on the scene.

　　One strike missed, Taotie was furious, issued a drenching roar, horrifying sound waves for a short period of time to lock the void, restricting Tuoba Hong’s power of action.

　　Strong devouring instincts turned on at this moment, Taotie even directly locked onto Tuoba Hong’s aura with his spiritual power, and focused on devouring him with a single target, which was one of Taotie’s strongest single attack skills.

　　In fact, Taotie didn’t hate Xu Yang and the Empress too much, the Empress was originally the ruler of the Cold Moon Empire lineage, and her ancestor had a bond with Taotie.

　　And Xu Yang, is indirectly for the Taotie to open the important leader of the door of the Dragon Hidden, without Xu Yang, Taotie can not get this incomparable precious opportunity, and as a flood level ancestor beast, Taotie to the human race can have Xu Yang such a stunning figure, he also holds a few points of respect for him, not until the last resort, Taotie does not want to make enemies with them, and therefore has not been on the dozen of hostages to lay down their hands on.

　　In contrast, this Tuoba Hong is too rowdy, in the eyes of Taotie big brother, this goods is just a dispensable mole, dare to come in to hit the idea of dragon source, strong wipe out, is Taotie’s most clear attitude.

　　”M’s, what a terrifying devouring power!”

　　Tuoba Hong deeply swallowed a mouthful of saliva, seeing that he was about to lose control of his physical body, Tuoba Hong clenched his teeth and suddenly pinched his hands together, releasing an incomparably powerful peak power in advance!

　　”Shura Upanishad – Six Paths, Rashomon!”

　　In an instant, Tuoba Hong’s pupils suddenly turned the color of scarlet blood, and a huge blood-colored light gate totem manifested behind him!

　　With the appearance of this apparition, the spiritual energy within Tuoba Hong’s body burned crazily, diffusing a substantial blood-colored aura that quickly covered the entire bare Dragon Slaying Battlefield.

　　All of the restless spiritual energy origins that filled the air were all affected by this blood-colored aura, and all of those spiritual energy elements that were drifting in the void were all endowed with the conviction of being reborn in this intense blood-colored aura!

　　Each and every spiritual energy was searching for its former host as if it was in a frenzy. Similar to the spell formation that Tuoba Hong had used on Xu Yang and the two of them earlier, this Six Dao Rashomon Upanishad was as if it was the most complete method of corpse disciple resurrection of the Ghost Shadow Shura lineage that had been evolved out.

　　What was even more terrifying was that under the empowered state of the Rashomon Upanishads, those dead souls from over six thousand years ago that possessed the inheritance of the Ghost Shadow Shura lineage were all summoned out as well!

　　As long as the space possessed the spiritual energy origin that once belonged to them, all of these undead spirits were able to regain their hideous luster under the guidance of Shura’s power!

　　In a matter of moments, one undead soul after another began to awaken, transforming into blood-colored transparent corpse souls that surrounded the Taotie in the battlefield.

　　Hundreds of dead souls, transforming into the puppets of Tuoba Hong before the Loxian Gate, released the most terrifying soul pressure, bringing a real threat to this Flood Ancestral Beast!

　　”Hahaha!

　　Taotie, where is your posture?

　　Didn’t you just call me a humble mole cricket?

　　I’m going to make you realize that even a mole cricket can become a dominator that crushes your majesty!

　　The Ghost Shadow Shura lineage will flourish once again in my hands!”

　　Hearing Tuoba Hong’s unbelievably unbridled shouts, Xu Yang gradually understood this fellow’s true purpose.

　　”I see… ……

　　Tuoba Hong’s true purpose really isn’t to obtain the Dragon Source, the Taotie’s Inner Dan is what he wants most!”

　　Xu Yang’s words caused the empress to once again look sideways, looking at this strong man with a heavy brow on his chest, the empress couldn’t help but let out a question.

　　”What you mean is that Tuoba Hong needs the power of the Taotie to make up for the shortcomings of his own Shura lineage technique?”

　　”Not bad.

　　The Ghost Shadow Cultivation Luo lineage is roughly divided into two cultivation directions, controlling souls and using poison, as well as transcending the limits of stance and instantaneous killing abilities.

　　The Loxian Gate is undoubtedly the grand realization of the former cultivation direction.

　　However, the flaws of this technique were also very obvious, the consumption of one’s own spiritual energy was very horrific, almost constantly burning spiritual energy to maintain the output.

　　If he could obtain the Taotie’s inner dan and gain part of the Flood Ancestral Beast’s talent, he would be able to utilize the Devouring method of cultivation to make up for the most fatal shortcoming of his own gong method, and it could be said that the Taotie lineage’s innate aptitude, when paired with Ghostly Shadow Cultivation’s gong method of cultivation, would simply be described as a seamless fit!”

　　Xu Yang’s words illuminated the doubts in the Empress’s mind.

　　The Luo Sheng Sect utilized the burning of spiritual energy to control the souls of the dead in battle, while Taotie also came with the talent of devouring spiritual energy for its own use, one in and one out, forming a perfect cycle in the combat system.

　　If this plan really came to fruition, in the future, all Tuoba Hong needed to do was to get some body protectors of sufficient strength to prevent being directly killed by powerful offensive cultivators, such as Sword Dao practitioners, then he would be invincible in battles against all types of cultivators below the Transition Realm and become a true new generation of Cultivation Daemons!

　　The more people he kills, the more number of dead souls the Loxian Sect is able to control, the more spiritual essence it devours itself naturally, once this kind of heaven-defying cultivation system matures, it will be an unimaginable catastrophe for the entire Three Thousand Dao State!

　　”Not good, I’m afraid this Tuoba Hong will become a new variable!

　　If he really seizes the Taotie’s inner elixir, I’m afraid that even I will have a hard time controlling him in a short period of time!”

　　Xu Yang examined the situation and had no choice but to change his battle plan, because of the addition of Tuoba Hong, Mu Qingtian and Long Yuan were safe for the time being, the first priority was to first find a way to interrupt the continual exertion of the Loxian Gate Upanishad, and hold the control of the situation in his own hands!
