Chapter 388 Star Core Warrior
The jade-horned dragon remained coiled in place, without dodging. Suddenly, a layer of water-ripple-like light shield appeared around its body, with runes faintly visible on the shield.
The dense rain of stars struck the light shield, crackling and popping, creating countless ripples and scattering starlight, yet it still could not break through the seemingly thin light shield defense.
A hint of disdain flashed in the cold snake eyes, and its giant tail suddenly rose up with tremendous force, whipping up countless ice blocks from the ground and smashing them down on Shen Rugo!
The attack was fierce, sealing off most of her escape routes.
Shen Rugo let out a sharp cry and pointed her fingers like a sword. A condensed sword aura cleaved out like a bolt of lightning, splitting the huge block of ice that was coming towards her in two!
At the same time, she flicked her sleeve, and three "Exploding Flame Talismans" turned into crimson streams of light and shot out, exploding around the dragon!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The blazing fire surged and rolled.
However, the Jade Horned Dragon manipulated the cold air to instantly condense several thick, diamond-shaped ice shields in front of it. The rotating ice shields neutralized most of the explosive force, preventing any real damage.
"Little reptile, your defenses are quite impressive!"
Shen Rugo looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hoohoo!"
The dragon seemed to be enraged by Shen Rugo's words, and it opened its mouth and spewed out a sky full of icy mist.
This icy mist not only contains extremely low temperatures, but also strangely carries a power that bewitches the soul.
This is a characteristic it acquired after long-term protection of the soul liquid and the fusion of their auras!
As the icy mist filled the air, Shen Rugo felt her consciousness being obstructed. Illusions appeared before her eyes, as if countless tiny ice crystal snakes were crawling into her mind and tearing at her consciousness.
With a thought, her innate cold energy protected her spiritual platform and sea of consciousness.
Her spirit is already strong, so this little disturbance shouldn't have harmed her.
Shen Rugo didn't intend to use her innate cold energy; otherwise, the little snake would have knelt down on the spot.
Even a bald-tailed crocodile in the late Nascent Soul stage was driven away by her innate cold energy, let alone this Chi dragon in the late Golden Core stage.
At this moment, Shen Rugo only wanted to hone her combat awareness and experience, using her movement techniques to dart through the icy mist while carefully observing the surroundings.
She noticed that every time the Jade Horned Dragon unleashed its Extreme Cold Ray, the light from its single, crystalline horn would dim briefly!
That is precisely the transitional period when the old forces have been exhausted and the new forces have not yet emerged!
It turned out to be the case.
Shen Rugo feigned a broken soul, her movements becoming sluggish. She fought and retreated, gradually leading the dragon away from the Soul Liquid Spring.
As expected, the Jade Horned Dragon fell into the trap and its attack became even more ferocious. Another extremely cold ray shot out, aiming straight for Shen Rugo's chest!
Just as the rays were emitted and the light from the unicorn dimmed, Shen Rugo moved!
She dodged the beam to the side, her figure as elusive as a ghost, instantly closing in on the dragon!
At the same time, a Gengjin Armor-Breaking Talisman that had been prepared in his left hand flew out!
"call out!"
A beam of white light, as sharp as a needle, ignored the protective layer of water-like light shield and shot precisely into the tiny gap in the scales connecting the Jade Horned Dragon's horn to its head!
"Pfft!"
A slight sound was heard, and the golden light precisely penetrated the gap!
"Roar!!"
The Jade Horned Dragon let out a painful roar, its massive body twisting and tumbling violently!
The light on the unicorn became erratic, sometimes bright and dazzling, sometimes dim and lifeless, clearly indicating that it had been seriously damaged!
Its offensive faltered, and its snake eyes revealed unbelievable pain and horror!
Shen Rugo immediately lunged forward, quickly condensing the wisp of innate cold energy within her body into the palm of her right hand. The cold energy was compressed and transformed into a short ice crystal sword with a dark blue body. Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon opened its huge mouth and hissed, she fiercely stabbed it into the weak spot on the upper jaw of its huge mouth!
"Hey!"
The short sword formed from innate cold energy was not only a physical injury to the Jade Horned Dragon, which also cultivated the cold attribute, but also a fundamental impact and absolute suppression!
The chill seeped into the dragon's body, and it felt as if its demonic power, blood, and even soul were about to be frozen. It let out a terrified howl, no longer caring about protecting its soul fluid. It broke free from the ice sword and plunged into the ice layer, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Shen Rugo chuckled, waved her hand to collect all the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Liquid, and then drank it.
The soul liquid entered his stomach and transformed into an incomparably cool and pure energy that rushed straight into his sea of consciousness!
Shen Rugo felt a slight buzzing in her mind, and her soul steadily improved, becoming more solid and resilient. Her spiritual platform was clear and bright, as if it could reflect the subtle Daoist rhythms flowing in the outside world.
Half a day later, when Shen Rugo opened her eyes again, her gaze was deep and unfathomable, like the starry sky.
With a thought, she could clearly perceive that her connection with the subtle Daoist principles flowing between heaven and earth was becoming increasingly close.
"Hahaha, great! This is wonderful! This is indeed a good product!"
Shen Rugo burst into laughter and then set off again.
This time, she set off towards another strange place in the core area.
As they drew closer, the spiritual energy in the air became increasingly active and pure.
After passing through a bamboo forest, the view suddenly opened up before me.
This is a vast plain. The earth is not soil, but paved with countless pebbles that shimmer with silver, blue and purple starlight. It is soft and hard to walk on and exudes a cool feeling.
The sky above the plains was not daytime, but a dark blue canopy studded with countless tiny stars, completely different from the outside world.
This place feels like a miniature starry sky that has been carved out in a separate place.
In the very center of the plain, a perfectly round crystal, no bigger than a human head, yet exuding the weight of a mountain that suppresses the stars, floats silently in mid-air.
The crystal is entirely silver, but its interior is not solid. Instead, it resembles a condensed version of a real starry sky, with countless nebula vortices slowly rotating and evolving within it, and twinkling starlight leaping and shimmering.
A vast, ancient stellar energy emanated from within the crystal, like breath, attracting all the stellar energy on the plain.
"Zhao Cai, come out and see what this is!"
Shen Rugo quickly called out and released Zhao Cai.
"Star Core!"
As soon as Zhao Cai appeared, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes blazed with intense light.
What is a stellar nucleus?
Shen Rugo pressed for more information.
"It is the core of a star, the most essential part of a star, far surpassing the ordinary spiritual energy in the world!"
This item is of great benefit to cultivation and will lay a more solid foundation for your future Heavenly Dao foundation building..."
Zhao Cai hurriedly explained.
Shen Rugo was overjoyed, but the moment her gaze locked onto the star core, the endless starlight and sand on the plain seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and suddenly lit up!
As the light shone, in an instant, nine Starlight Warriors, each three zhang tall and formed entirely from pure star power, appeared out of thin air around the star core, firmly protecting it at the center!
These nine warriors were clad in starlight armor and wielded weapons such as spears, greatswords, battle axes, and bows formed from starlight. Their faces were blurred, with only two cold, silver flames burning around their eyes.
Their auras are not independent, but connected by the starlight patterns spreading under their feet, forming a unified whole!
The pressure it exuded had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and because the formations were connected, its momentum was still rising, faintly touching the threshold of the mid-Nascent Soul stage!
"Star Formation!"
Zhao Cai cried out in alarm.
Shen Rugo's heart sank.
This is by no means a lone opponent like the Jade Horned Dragon from before, but a powerful battle formation that works seamlessly together and can leverage the terrain!
