Chapter 723: 64: Tier Four Spirit Chef: Steamed Red Dragon Carp, Charcoal-Grilled Sea Ox Flank_2

Seeing this, he had to stop, open his giant mouth, and spew out a crimson flame. Above him, a massive flame shield a hundred feet in size formed, with runes swirling around, clearly extraordinary!

Then he spat out a fist-sized Inner Core, entirely crimson,

which shot out a ray of Spirit Light, hitting the Flaming Giant Shield,

making the shield’s brilliance increase drastically, enhancing its power significantly!

Upon seeing this, the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor’s heart relaxed slightly. This was the essence of his Demonic Power, with each strand being extremely precious,

and if it weren’t for Zhou Xun’s strange Divine Technique, he wouldn’t have risked a drop in Cultivation.

Zhou Xun watched the Thousand Crabs Demon Emperor’s actions with an expressionless face, and with a soft shout:

"Descend!"

Instantly, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a barrel descended abruptly,

colliding with the Flaming Giant Shield, erupting with a deafening roar.

Intense energy waves spread in all directions, causing layers of ocean waves, the scorching temperature directly evaporating the seawater,

creating a thick fog within a span of over ten miles.

With this one strike, the Flaming Giant Shield dimmed significantly!

The Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor’s face changed dramatically,

the power of the Thunder Strike far exceeding his expectations,

but before he could react,

a second bolt of Thunder Light descended again,

"Boom!"

The Thunder Light hit the flame shield again,

shattering this shield into fragments that dissipated in the air.

Then came the third bolt,

with no shield treasures above his head, he felt as if he had returned to the time of facing the Transformation Thunder Tribulation!

"Back then, when I was only Tier Three Peak, I still managed to survive. Now with a physique reaching Tier Four Middle-Grade, I refuse to believe I can’t block this mere Thunder Strike!"

The next moment,

a purple Divine Thunder as thick as a barrel struck his body’s surface instantly!

The Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor felt his body go numb, the entire body stiffened,

a rampant Power of Destruction coursing through his body,

he felt his Demonic Power circulation becoming sluggish.

At this moment, the Thunder Light in the sky dissipated, surprisingly no longer descending!

Upon seeing this scene, the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor couldn’t help but feel overwhelming joy!

"Mere Thunder Strike, do you have any other tricks, just bring them on...!"

Yet the words weren’t even finished,

"Pfft—"

A short spear, three feet in length, abruptly appeared three yards ahead of him,

penetrating through his enormous head with an expression of shock!

It was actually that "Jun Mang."

As it turned out, Zhou Xun had already taken out the Jun Mang Short Spear when the Thunder Strike was attacking the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor,

taking advantage of the stiffness of the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor’s body, he activated the javelin and launched it fiercely at him!

Indeed, a single strike succeeded!

The reason for not continuing with the Tribulation Thunder attack was also to avoid the Thunder Light damaging his body, which was his trophy and naturally had to be well preserved.

After all, these Thunder Lights were all simulated Tribulation Thunder, rich with destructive intent, even a Tier Four Middle-Grade physique might not withstand it.

After finishing all this, Zhou Xun flipped his palm,

a Jade Cup entirely three inches in size and jade-colored throughout appeared in his palm, and he tossed it into the sky!

It instantly reached high altitude, sealing the space within a range of thousands of feet!

Simultaneously, a semi-transparent miniature Dragon Centipede suddenly appeared on the large body of the Dragon Centipede, still holding a crimson Inner Core in its arms!

With a look of terror, it was about to use the Instant Teleportation Technique to escape!

Yet the next moment, the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor’s face froze!

Instinctively glancing towards the sky,

only to see a gigantic Jade Cup several dozen feet in size, inverted, sealing the space of this area completely!

Unable to help but blurt out in shock:

"Void Treasure!"

Zhou Xun chuckled lightly,

with a thought, blue light flashed, and an intention turned into a giant hand of lightning that condensed in the air,

grabbing the Inner Core and Divine Soul of the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor, slowly bringing them before Zhou Xun.

"Spare me, Daoist!"

The Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor screamed in terror, repeatedly begging for mercy, as even a Tier Four Demon Emperor lost all dignity in the face of life and death.

Zhou Xun coldly sneered in his heart, ignoring it completely,

and made several sealing restrictions towards the Demon Soul and Inner Core, then with a flip of his hand, he took out two Jade Bottles,

placed them inside respectively, and stored them in his Storage Bag.

Then he also stored away the enormous Demon Body, and only then did Zhou Xun embark on the return journey.

...

Zhou Xun rushed all the way and soon returned to Jixing Island.

Wei Chang’an and True Monarch Yun Shang, among others, saw Zhou Xun’s return and showed joy on their faces,

"Daoist Zhou, this time, thanks to your timely assistance, otherwise, I fear I wouldn’t have escaped this tribulation!"

At this moment, a fat man dressed in a purple Dao Robe, with a kind appearance, walked over and slowly spoke,

This person was precisely an old acquaintance of Zhou Xun’s, True Monarch Profound Time.

Back then, they once explored the Thunder Prison together, counted as old friends!

"Daoist Profound Time, you’re too polite; we merely came by order!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands and said.

"Oh, this is Master Huaijie, from the Vajra Temple!" True Monarch Profound Time pointed to a monk beside him and introduced.

The name of Vajra Temple naturally he had heard before, a core member of the Celestial Dao Alliance,

with Master Jin Men from his sect being one of the eleven Great Cultivators of the Central Continent, his Vajra Treasure Body having reached the Tier Four High-Grade level,

considered the number one Body Refining Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness!

Extremely powerful!

"Master, greetings!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands in salute,

"I’ve long heard of True Monarch Wangchuan’s great name; meeting today truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Even the Black Island Demon Emperor could only flee upon seeing you, a sight unmatched in my lifetime!"

Master Huaijie was full of amazement,

and not only him, but it was also the first time for the others as well.

The mighty Demon Emperor, to actually forsake dignity and run away in such a manner.

"Daoist, after a long and tiring journey, and helping to resolve the crisis for Jixing Island, we have prepared a Spiritual Banquet, and invite True Monarch Wangchuan to join!"

Master Huaijie smiled and said.

"Daoist Zhou, you may not know, but Master Huaijie is also an extremely rare Tier Four Spirit Chef, and the Spiritual Food he prepares is not only unbelievably delicious but is also rich in pure Spiritual Power,"

"Beneficial to Cultivation!"

"It’s because of Daoist Zhou’s presence here that Master was willing to personally cook!"

True Monarch Profound Time explained with a smile, and as he spoke, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

"Tier Four Spirit Chef?"

Zhou Xun’s heart stirred upon hearing.

In his previous life, he was someone who loved gourmet food tremendously,

and in this life, after becoming a Cultivator, he also became a gourmand. Previously at Wangchuan Lake, he even supported a Tier Two Spirit Chef.

The skills of such a chef had already amazed him, and now upon suddenly hearing of Tier Four Spirit Chef skills,

how could he not be tempted!

Thus he gladly agreed,

arriving at the banquet site, he saw an ancient long table placed in the courtyard, filled with various rare Spiritual Food.

Each dish glimmered with Spirit Light, making one’s mouth water.

Master Huaijie smiled inviting Zhou Xun to sit,

then waved his hand to lift the light shield over it,

Immediately, a rich aroma spread, inhaling deeply, even the operation of Spiritual Power inside seemed to quicken a bit,

"This dish is called ’Raw Salted Shark Fin’, using the fins of the Tier Three Peak ’Flood Dragon Shark’ as the main ingredient, marinated with various rare Spirit Materials. This Spiritual Food not only has a smooth taste but is also filled with rich Spiritual Power, greatly beneficial for Cultivation."

Master Huaijie introduced with a smile.

Zhou Xun looked at the translucent Dragon Fish Fin on the plate, full of expectation.

He gently picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, instantly, a fresh flavor burst on his tongue, the most delicious dish he had ever tasted in his life!

Even compared to the Red Spirit Dragon Fish back then, it was far inferior,

Once the fish meat went down, pure Spiritual Power rose and filled his meridians,

With slight Refinement, transformed into Mana and merged into his Dantian.

In terms of effect, it rivaled a small sip of Tier Four Low-Grade Pill Origin Wine.

"Truly a taste beyond this world!" Zhou Xun refrained from speaking further, continuing to savor.

With dishes like ’Steamed Red Dragon Carp’, ’Charcoal Grilled Sea Bull Whip’...

All available, leaving Zhou Xun extremely satisfied, knowing these were merely Tier Three ingredients!

After the meal, Zhou Xun sought out Master Huaijie privately, ostensibly to explore the path of the Spirit Chef,

in truth, to inquire about cooking Tier Four Demon Beasts,

after all, in his Storage Bag,

there lay a Tier Four Middle-Grade Thousand Crabs Demon Crab, along with the newly obtained Hundred-legged Dragon Centipede.
