Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

389: Watch the dragon swallow the egg and kill the hydraLin Shiming looked at the vastly different state of the Spirit Egg and knew that the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon King had not yet reached its strongest state.

”Nine Heavens Daoist, the eggs in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave are yours!”

Nine Heavens Hermit also sensed the abnormality of those Snake Eggs at this moment and instantly soared into the air.

Accompanying him were Lin Shiming’s Wang Jiao and Red-haired Demon Monkey.

As two Purple Mansion Great Demons, Wang Jiao, needless to say, with a third claw, was much more powerful than an ordinary Middle Stage Fourth-tier Great Demon.

At this moment, sensing those Spirit Eggs, his eyes shot out brilliant light. In his opinion, these Spirit Eggs were exceptionally fragrant and delicious!

Without Lin Shiming needing to say more, with a swoop, he rushed into the ore vein.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey also howled. Although he wasn’t interested in the Snake Eggs, if Wang Jiao was interested, he was too.

Nine Heavens Hermit also released two Purple Mansion Great Demons: a Thousand-legged Octopus Purple Mansion Great Demon and a Azure Armor Crab King.

All were controlled by Spirit Control Seal. This was still without the Lin Family’s Blood Explosion Pills; otherwise, this time would have been even smoother.

Seeing so many Great Demons appear, the red Crimson Snake’s pair of lantern-sized red eyes widened, filled with boundless rage, and it immediately spoke in human tongue:

”You human ants, disturbing this King’s good fortune, this King will devour all of you alive today!”

The Crimson Snake’s guttural roar was accompanied by a giant mouth that spewed a crimson fire Dragon, heading towards Nine Heavens Hermit. Nine Heavens Hermit was in the Purple Mansion Late Stage, and in the opponent’s view, he posed the greatest threat.

Its body also darted towards Nine Heavens Hermit.

At terrifying speed, everyone only saw a blur of red.

It arrived in front of Nine Heavens Hermit. Nine Heavens Hermit was greatly alarmed and quickly took out thirty-six silver snow needles. The dense rain of needles was impenetrable; even an ordinary Purple Mansion Peak Cultivator would not be able to escape.

However, the spewing fire Dragon was also scattered by the silver snow needles, but only to see the Crimson Snake opening its bloody maw, truly devouring everything.

Within the bloody maw, there were also some remnants of clothing, belonging to Duan Family Cultivators, indicating that it had clearly devoured many Duan Family Cultivators.

However, with a spatial shift, Lin Shiming’s Leaping Void Disc had already leaped out, and the crescent moon guard blade in his hand fiercely swept across the Seven-inch vital spot of the Nine-Headed Serpent Clone.

Immediately, countless golden stars, like a cascading Milky Way, shone brilliantly.

And a huge metallic grinding sound echoed.

Lin Shiming frowned, the power of starlight surged in his hand, and he fiercely slashed again!

The next moment, crimson blood began to flow profusely.

Lin Shiming’s expression changed drastically. As expected of an existence like a Demon King, even though its Clone was only at the Purple Mansion Peak, even its weakest Seven-inch vital spot struggled against the crescent moon guard blade.

”Roar!”

The Crimson Snake was enraged and bit fiercely at Lin Shiming. However, the Yuan Magnetic Ring in Lin Shiming’s hand suddenly shone upon the Crimson Snake.

The Crimson Flame breath from its mouth turned into thick red smoke, and suddenly the entire Crimson Snake’s body paused in the air.

Lin Shiming then took out the Evil Ghost Banner, and countless Evil Ghost heads rushed towards the Crimson Snake, which was the Nine-Headed Serpent Clone.

At the same time, the illusory spirit gourd was also casually summoned, and countless Illusory Spirit Mist covered the Crimson Snake!

With the Evil Ghosts biting and the Illusory Mist shrouding it, the Crimson Snake was momentarily stunned for a breath.

But after all, it was a Purple Mansion Peak Yao Beast, with incredibly thick skin and flesh. Its thick crimson snake skin was even thicker than that of an ordinary Flood Dragon.

And it must be known that this Crimson Snake was still far from its Peak recovery!

What greatly changed Lin Shiming’s expression was that Spiritual Qi fluctuations also began to emanate from underground. Clearly, another Snake Egg had shattered, revealing a Blue Snake.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuations of this Blue Snake also instantly reached the Purple Mansion Late Stage, engaging in a confrontation with Nine Heavens Hermit.

On the other side, to Lin Shiming’s delight, Wang Jiao actually opened its large mouth and swallowed a huge Spirit Egg that was emanating Spiritual Qi, right on the spot.

It was completely corroded by venom until nothing remained.

Then, it swallowed it into its belly, and its body immediately coiled, emitting terrifying black light in the underground hall, dazzling for a moment.

And the Crimson Snake in front of him suddenly let out a scream.

At the same time, terrifying crimson flames ignited all over its body, expressing extreme fury.

The spiritual power fluctuations of a Purple Mansion Peak pressed down on Lin Shiming. Lin Shiming also hastily released his entire Sword Intent Domain, then slashed out with a sword.

It was the Great Evolution Sword Style, a full-power strike.

And this sword strike also utilized the High Grade Fourth-tier Jinye Sword.

In the Void Realm, countless Sword Intent were unleashed, and under Sword Genesis Myriad Laws, one Sword Grass after another emerged.

Within the flames of the entire Void Realm, Sword Grass were forcibly pulled out one by one, forming a special Sword Formation that slashed towards the Crimson Snake!

Boom!

The endless Sword Intent descended, all falling upon the Crimson Snake.

The Void Realm shook, and spiritual light shone brightly, like the radiant sun of Sword Light for an instant.

However, the Crimson Snake’s skin was truly too terrifying; it actually withstood all the Sword Intent.

Lin Shiming’s face turned pale. He had still underestimated the strength of a Purple Mansion Peak Yao Beast. Moreover, according to the System’s prompt, this Nine-Headed Serpent would become a Demon King if all nine Clones merged.

Fortunately, Wang Jiao had already swallowed one.

The Crimson Snake rushed out of the Sword Domain and then charged towards the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Although Lin Shiming infuriated him at this moment, he was determined to allow the remaining Clones to emerge.

Just like the Crimson Snake, the blue snake on the other side also unleashed its power, forcing Nine Heavens Hermit to retreat steadily. Fortunately, the Lin Family’s two war treasure ships had already dealt with the Duan Family and Cheng Family cultivators, and with the cooperation of the two war treasure ships, they barely managed to hold it back.

And just at this moment, the Crimson Snake stumbled again!

A fluctuation from the Red-haired Demon Monkey also reached Lin Shiming’s side. It turned out that a Spirit Snake Clone egg was roasted alive by the Samadhi True Fire!

Then, it was shattered by the Red-haired Demon Monkey using the High Grade Fourth-tier Magic Treasure, Heavenly Demon Staff, and devoured with great relish!

What Wang Jiao could eat, it could also eat.

Moreover, it ate with even more gusto than Wang Jiao!

Both of Lin Shiming’s Purple Mansion Great Demons chose the weaker Spirit Snake Clone eggs.

On the contrary, when a Azure Armor Crab Purple Mansion Great Demon was crushing a Spirit Egg Clone with its pincers, a Golden Snake rushed out again, biting at the Azure Armor Crab Great Demon.

It spat out a golden greatsword from its mouth. Although it had just hatched and only recovered to the Mid Purple Mansion Realm, the Azure Armor Crab Great Demon was still too weak and was swallowed alive by the Golden Snake.

The Thousand-legged Octopus Purple Mansion Great Demon was also quickly broken out by an orange giant snake. However, this orange giant snake had just hatched and only had Mid Purple Mansion Realm strength, barely able to suppress the Thousand-legged Octopus Purple Mansion Great Demon.

On this side, Lin Shiming also seized the opportunity. The Crimson Snake stumbled, and it had suffered an unknown amount of heavy sword injuries.

The Leaping Void Disc leaped into the air again, reaching the Crimson Snake’s belly. The illusory spirit vine seed in his hand was unleashed, activating countless Illusory Spirit Vines, and an illusory spirit gourd was also activated to entangle the Crimson Snake and shroud it in Illusory Mist.

If not for the successive deaths of two Spirit Snake Clones and the Crimson Snake’s Divine Soul being intact, this bit of Illusory Spirit Mist naturally wouldn’t have covered it. But now, the Illusory Spirit Vine was a top-grade Magic Treasure, the Illusory Spirit Mist.

In an instant, it caused the Crimson Snake to pause for three breaths.

And Lin Shiming’s body had already sliced open another huge crack in the already injured Seven-inch vital spot. He reached into the Crimson Snake’s body.

He forcibly pulled out the Crimson Snake’s Yao Beast Core.

Lin Shiming only glanced at this Yao Beast Core and immediately sensed its peculiarity. It was only one-ninth the size of a normal Yao Beast Core, but it exuded a hint of golden essence.

Furthermore, some lightning power raged within it.

Lin Shiming was not unfamiliar with this lightning essence; it was precisely the murderous lightning of Undergoing Tribulation.

This Crimson Snake had clearly undergone a Lightning Tribulation.

However, it did not succeed.

Finally, it activated a secret technique, transforming into nine Spirit Snake Eggs, separating to heal and wear down the lightning.

This way, even if one died, the Nine-Headed Serpent could still survive. And because it had already finished the Lightning Tribulation’s baptism, as long as there were more than six Clones remaining, it might be able to recover its Demon King status!

There would be no need to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation again.

It was the best plan.

After all, this was the Outer Sea; normally, there would be no human Cultivators, much less Golden Core Cultivators!

It was just that it was discovered by the Duan Family, and Lin Shiming followed the trail.

With its Yao Beast Core taken, the Crimson Snake lost most of its demonic power. Finally, Lin Shiming’s sword strike severed its snake head.

Lin Shiming’s body did not stop at all. He simply took a few pills to restore his True Essence and then rushed towards the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Demon King had not been dealt with, and the crisis was even greater.

And at this moment, there were already five hatched Nine-Headed Serpent Clones.

Lin Shiming also moved towards the two newly hatched Nine-Headed Serpent Clones. At the same time, Lin Shiming’s mind also transmitted a message to Wang Jiao.

”Wang Jiao, swallow that remaining Spirit Snake Egg, and the golden dragon fruit from the golden dragon fruit tree will be yours!”

With Lin Shiming’s transmission, Wang Jiao, who was rolling around in the air, digesting the Nine-Headed Serpent Clone Spirit Egg, immediately looked towards Lin Shiming with eyes filled with both pain and yearning. Finally, it roared three times and resolutely charged towards the last Spirit Snake Egg.

At this moment, it hadn’t thought that the golden dragon fruit from the golden dragon fruit tree could only be given to it.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey, however, only ate half of it before being entangled by the Golden Snake Clone. For a time, the Heavenly Demon Staff danced continuously, and at the same time, three kinds of spiritual fires continuously spewed towards the Golden Snake.

However, the Golden Snake, having swallowed the Azure Armor Crab, had already recovered its Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivation, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey was retreating steadily!

It howled in anger, constantly calling for Lin Shiming to come and help.

And Lin Shiming was also entangled by two Spirit Snake Clones.

These two Spirit Snake Clones were a Yellow Snake Clone and a White Snake Clone.

Lin Shiming didn’t hesitate. The Mystic Profound Origin Pearl in his hand flew out, directly heading towards the newly hatched White Snake Clone.

The stored Great Evolution Sword Style was unleashed to its fullest, and a sky full of Sword Intent and Sword Light slashed down.

The White Snake Clone had only recovered to the Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivation at this moment and was instantly killed.

And the Yellow Snake Clone next to it suddenly condensed countless earthy yellow city walls, blocking all the remaining Sword Light.

Furthermore, it directly fled to the side.

It converged with the Orange Snake Clone that had already devoured the Thousand-legged Octopus.

On the other side, Wang Jiao, seeing the spiderweb-covered Spirit Egg Clone, also roared twice, letting out a Flood Dragon’s roar. Then, it swallowed the remaining Spirit Snake Egg, disregarding the fact that the Spirit Egg was about to hatch.

Its black Flood Dragon belly instantly became enormous, and its entire Flood Dragon body began to constantly spiral in the air.

Finally, intertwined, its two straight horns continuously emitted a faint light, and the venom within its belly was unleashed to its maximum!

Countless Flood Dragon scales began to stir, as if a Yao Beast was writhing within its belly.

However, it ultimately failed to break free.

Yet, it still caused Wang Jiao to roar in pain repeatedly, its eyes somewhat drooping. After devouring the Spirit Eggs of the two Nine-Headed Serpent Clones, the Spiritual Qi in its belly reached its Peak, and it was about to fall into a deep sleep.

For a Yao Beast, after devouring, sleep is also the best way to digest.

On the other side, the remaining four Snake Clones also began to converge, finally merging together, starting their Fusion.

Even Lin Shiming couldn’t completely stop it, only watching helplessly as a Four-Headed Snake with four heads appeared before his eyes.

Its Aura instantly reached its Peak, only slightly weaker than that of a Demon King.

Lin Shiming stood at the forefront, his Divine Sense highly concentrated, not daring to let down his guard in the slightest. As long as this Four-Headed Demon Snake showed any signs of a Breakthrough, he would unleash the Crimson Flame Sword.

If the five-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine couldn’t be saved, he naturally wouldn’t economize.

However, they also benefited from the Nine-Headed Serpent not fully recovering after Undergoing Tribulation. Although it transformed into Spirit Egg Clones, it dissipated most of the Lightning power.

It was just discovered too early by the Duan Family. The Crimson Snake was the first to hatch, and the remaining five Clones were successively killed by Lin Shiming and Wang Jiao.

With only four remaining, its Divine Soul was already largely damaged.

The four heads, four pairs of eyes, stared intently at Lin Shiming and Wang Jiao.

Lin Shiming had ruined its good fortune, and as a Flood Dragon, if it swallowed Wang Jiao, it would be a great tonic.

”Ants, die!” The Four-Headed Snake was the first to fly towards Lin Shiming.

However, what greeted it was once again Lin Shiming’s Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.

As a High Grade Magic Treasure that countered Five Elements Spells, the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light turned the Four-Headed Snake into a close-combat Yao Beast, unable to use Spells.

And Lin Shiming leaped out with a Leaping Void Disc, instantly dodging it.

At the same time, where he landed, two Soul Suppressing Towers also instantly descended, and the illusory spirit vine seed Magic Treasure was also activated again!

And the Red-haired Demon Monkey, Nine Heavens Hermit, Lin Shijie, and the two war treasure ships also unleashed their strongest attacks.

They blasted towards the Four-Headed Snake!

At the same time, Lin Shiming also wielded the Jinye Sword, while countless Fourth-tier Spirit Talismans blasted towards the Four-Headed Snake.

Immediately, the area where the Four-Headed Snake was located transformed into an ocean of spiritual light, with various Sword Light, Spells, and spiritual light emerging in endless succession.

Forming one spiritual light storm after another, ravaging the entire island’s Void Realm.

However, even with so many attacks, the Four-Headed Snake remained unharmed, its Physique several times stronger than that of the Crimson Snake.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming no longer hesitated.

He released the Crimson Flame Sword.

This kind of Peak Fourth-tier Yao Beast, only slightly inferior to a Demon King, was simply not something he could resist.

Moreover, his Hidden Sky Net was undergoing repairs, his two Soul Suppressing Towers were also undergoing repairs, and his Sword Essence was exhausted.

Even the Great Evolution Sword Style stored in the Mystic Profound Origin Pearl had been used.

To be safe, Lin Shiming could not take any more risks.

As soon as the Crimson Flame Sword was unleashed, a single sword strike swept across, giving birth to countless flames, and Sword Qi crisscrossed three thousand li.

The Four-Headed Fire Snake was filled with disbelief, but in the end, all four of its heads were severed.

For such a heavily injured pseudo-Golden Core Yao Beast, the Crimson Flame Sword killed it with effortless ease.

And Nine Heavens Hermit next to him was utterly astonished.

He had thought that the Lin Family’s soaring strength was all he had seen, but he found that Lin Shiming could kill a Purple Mansion Late Stage Yao Beast from the Mid Purple Mansion Realm.

He even had a chance to ambush and kill an ordinary Purple Mansion Peak Yao Beast.

Now, the Lin Family had another spiritual cultivation treasure sword of the Late Golden Core Stage.

This Lin Family was truly too different from what he had imagined!

Fortunately, he had always been cautious in the Lin Family.

He refined Magic Treasures for the Lin Family, taught Cultivation Technique to Lin Houwei, and taught Artifact Refining to Lin Shizhong.

Neither of them held back.

Such a Lin Family was truly too terrifying.

Of course, in his opinion, the most terrifying must be Lin Shiming.

How long had it been since Lin Shiming broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm until now? Not even thirty years.

He even felt that the Gold Core Forming Fruit Tree was not far away.

At that time, Lin Shiming’s hope of reaching Golden Core would definitely be much greater than his.

Previously, he thought it would take at least a hundred years, but now it seemed twenty or thirty years would be enough, and Lin Shiming’s strength would be stronger than his!

Unless he could further improve his Artifact Refining skills and refine a set of High Grade Fourth-tier Magic Treasures for himself!

But even then, he might not be Lin Shiming’s opponent.

Because Lin Shiming progressed faster than him!
