Chapter 655 -249: Preparing for Next Time, Drawing the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman (2)

“A First-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator is simply no match.”

Zhou Changwang also looked forward to this greatly.

He took a deep breath, calming his mind and gathering his spirit.

Then, he began crafting talismans once again.

A stick of incense later.

The first One-eyed Demon Talisman was drawn by him.

Zhou Changwang’s eyes flashed, a top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman.

“Average,” he thought to himself.

Without any pause, he continued making talismans.

The second, third, until the fifth, Zhou Changwang’s eyes gleamed with brilliance.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged quickly, and the Spirit Talisman emitted brilliant light.

This light is characteristic of a Spirit Talisman that absorbs the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi upon successful creation.

Such brilliance appeared almost every time he successfully crafted a talisman.

But none shone as brightly and dazzlingly as this moment.

“It succeeded.

A Limit-Breaking Level One-eyed Demon Talisman.

A top-grade Spirit Talisman!”

Zhou Changwang’s heart was delighted, and he immediately picked up the talisman.

After verifying it,

sure enough, it was indeed a top-grade Spirit Talisman, a top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman.

“In that case, let’s see the power of this Spirit Talisman!”

Zhou Changwang pondered for a moment.

Then he gestured with his hand.

A Nine-Layered Spirit Tower appeared before him.

This Nine-Layered Spirit Tower was acquired from the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader, Situ Xuan Kong, after he was slain.

The defensive power of this tower impressed him deeply.

Even with the full power of his Twenty-four Flying Heaven Sword Array, he could only break through three layers of the tower’s defensive might.

It took three full strikes before he shattered all the defensive spiritual light on the tower, finally injuring the opponent.

Now that this Nine-Layered Exquisite Treasure Tower was in his hands, he naturally refined it immediately.

At this moment, a slight movement of his True Essence within, it quickly surged into the treasure tower.

Buzz!

The entire Nine-Layered Exquisite Treasure Tower emitted radiant light.

One layer followed another, a total of nine layers of treasure light, enshrouding him.

Of course, for safety’s sake, Zhou Changwang cast an additional defense technique on himself.

Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield.

The perfect-level Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield had a defensive strength in his eyes no less than this treasure tower.

After all, since he was testing the power of this Spirit Talisman, casting the technique was merely a precaution.

With these preparations in place, he then released the top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman in his hand.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

In an instant, a monstrous creature about a zhang in height, entirely black, with a huge single eye, appeared before him.

Zhou Changwang willed it.

He quickly commanded the One-eyed Demon to gather Spiritual Power and deliver a full-force strike in his direction.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

It was evident that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him surged rapidly into it, and then…

Boom!

A huge column of light immediately shot towards him.

Bang!

Crashing directly onto the Nine-Layered Spiritual Light.

Sizzle, sizzle…

The Nine-Layered Spiritual Light trembled, dispersing three layers of light.

“This strike…” Zhou Changwang’s eyes moved slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed in his gaze.

“Comparable to the full-force strike of a Third, even Fourth Level Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

Zhou Changwang pondered and shook his head knowingly.

The power of the Nine-Layered Exquisite Treasure Tower when he wielded it was naturally less than when Situ Xuan Kong wielded it.

Besides the short refinement time unable to fully unleash the artifact’s power, the key factor was his cultivation level, much weaker compared to Situ Xuan Kong.

The same magical artifact’s power executed by a First-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator could not match that of a Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even if his overall strength surpassed the opponent.

But the thickness of his True Essence and the strength of his Spiritual Sense were aspects where the opponent was stronger.

“So, the power of this strike is actually comparable to a full-force strike from a Second-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It barely reaches the level of a Third-Layer Foundation Establishment.

“Such power isn’t weak.

This is the power a top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman can produce. ℴℴ𝘮

If five or ten are used together.

Forget my Nine-Layered Exquisite Treasure Tower; even if Situ Xuan Kong were resurrected and used the Nine-Layered Exquisite Treasure Tower again, it couldn’t withstand it, and would be shattered.”

Zhou Changwang reflected.

With a flick of his finger, a streak of Spiritual Light struck the One-eyed Demon’s head.

Poof!

The head was instantly smashed, turning into layers of black mist, which quickly dissipated.

This strike was naturally the Geng Metal Finger.

With his current strength, even a casual strike from the Geng Metal Finger was powerful, far surpassing a full-force strike from a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivator.

Of course, this result was due to the One-eyed Demon’s major weakness.

Its defense was relatively weak.

Especially its eye, the most vulnerable spot.

When he struck its eye, it naturally shattered and vanished rapidly.

After testing the power of the top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman, he felt assured and began crafting again.

One, two, three…

Top-grade, top-grade, top-grade, top-grade, top-grade, middle-grade…

Soon, Zhou Changwang crafted ten One-eyed Demon Talismans, among them two reached top-grade level, seven top-grade, and one middle-grade.

He was quite satisfied with this outcome.

After all, having just replaced the talisman paper, achieving such improvement naturally pleased him.

“However, using ten to twenty of these One-eyed Demon Talismans daily and elevating them to Perfection Level should suffice.

The real time and effort should be spent researching its advanced Spirit Talisman, the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman!”

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but show excitement.

The Flying Blood Corpse Talisman was a solidly high-level Second-grade Spirit Talisman.

Even a low-grade one far surpassed a top-grade, even a top-grade One-eyed Demon Talisman in power.

Because Flying Blood Corpses, documented in ancient texts, are special Spiritual Objects, with even the weakest comparable to a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Cultivator, many possessing the terrifying strength akin to a Void Pill First Level cultivator.

Which means, in essence, Flying Blood Corpses are already akin to terrifying Core Formation level existences.

Even if the talisman summoned only a shadow of the Flying Blood Corpse,

its strength would significantly diminish.

But it was not something the One-eyed Demon Talisman, strong in attack but weak in defense, could compare to.

“However, correspondingly, the craftsmanship of the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman is several levels more difficult than the One-eyed Demon Talisman.

The complexity of its Rune Structure, along with the interwoven runes, resembles a highly complex thread tangled together.

To unravel it takes considerable time…”

Zhou Changwang took out a Jade Scroll, observing the crafting method of the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman with his Divine Sense, his face relaxed.

He indeed felt more at ease.

Before, he was somewhat at a loss with the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman.

The complexity was evident to the eyes.

But now it was different.

The principle of ‘to master one is to master all’ applied.

The relationship between talismans and magic was one of mutual dependence and reflection.

Cultivators could transform corresponding magic into talismans for crafting.

Similarly, talismans could be executed in the style of magic.

In essence, there wasn’t much difference between them.

And now Zhou Changwang had cultivated countless magics, mastering over a thousand Dharma Rune Structures.

Among them were some existing within the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman.

With mutual validation and transformation, Zhou Changwang suddenly realized that the initially complex Flying Blood Corpse Talisman became much simpler before him.

It was several times easier than when he first learned to craft the One-eyed Demon Talisman.

“Originally, I thought it would take me at least three days to fully understand this Spirit Talisman before I could start truly crafting it.

But now it seems, only half an hour, or even just a stick of incense’s time, before I can begin crafting the Flying Blood Corpse Talisman!”

Zhou Changwang exuded a confident aura.
