Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 576: Chapter 563: The Tribulation of Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch Begins_2

“`

Qin Niu, faced with the fearsome flames outside, was not panicked at all.

Instead, he took this opportunity to establish a master-disciple relationship with the Great Immortal Bei Bing.

“Ho ho, the little fellow is quite confident, huh! There are countless Immortal Envoys and Great Immortal Envoys who wish to take me as their master. Up till now, I have never taken a disciple. However, you do have many aspects that appeal to me. To borrow an old monk’s saying, ‘We are fated.’ If both of us survive today, I will accept you as my disciple,”

Great Immortal Bei Bing smiled with his mouth wide open, agreeing to the matter of taking a disciple.

This secretly delighted Qin Niu.

“Thank you, Master!”

Qin Niu was not one to stand on ceremony; seizing the moment, he straightaway referred to Great Immortal Bei Bing as Master.

“You’d better focus on how to save your life! The Huoyun Ancestor has cultivated to the Earth Immortal Realm. I’m afraid only the Sect Master of our Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect can match him,” Great Immortal Bei Bing’s cheeks twitched, but he did not outright reject him.

At this moment, all those strong figures from Fire Cloud Tunnel who had been sealed in ice broke free.

The Chix Xao Immortal Monarch, filled with anger, joined the battle as soon as he was free.

Without further ado, he unleashed a Flame Spell towards Great Immortal Bei Bing.

Like a giant sun, an immense fireball wrapped in towering flames as high as mountains fiercely bombarded Great Immortal Bei Bing’s Ice Armor.

Boom!

Bei Bing’s Ice Armor, already struggling to withstand the attacks from the Huoyun Ancestor, now, with Chix Xao Immortal Monarch’s kick to a man who’s down and full force assault, instantly developed countless tiny cracks.

“Go!”

Bei Bing bit the tip of his tongue and directly spurted a mouthful of Golden Blood onto the Ice Armor.

The Ice Armor, consisting of eight shield plates, once again compressed and shrank considerably, with Qin Niu tightly squeezed back-to-back with Great Immortal Bei Bing. The immense pressure nearly crushed his body.

He had only just broken through to the Immortal Scholar Realm not long ago, and his physical body was far from comparable to the centuries-old oddity that was Great Immortal Bei Bing.

It felt as if all his organs were about to be crushed, and a sweet taste surged in his throat, followed by a mouthful of the taste of blood.

The terrible pressure instantly injured him.

Great Immortal Bei Bing, unable to look after himself, had no strength to care for him.

At this critical juncture, Qin Niu felt the pressure on his body suddenly reduce significantly, and his body felt much better.

A look revealed that the Diamond Ink Turtle had deployed its defensive skill at this moment.

Now a tenth-level Dragon Turtle, defense was naturally its forte, and its power was exceptional.

“Cowardly Turtle, well done!”

Qin Niu communicated with it through Divine Sense, affirming its protective actions.

The Diamond Ink Turtle blinked its small eyes.

As Qin Niu’s various pets continued to grow, they could now be of some help even in high-level battles.

He thought he was safe for the moment, but the good times were short-lived. The Ice Armor of Great Immortal Bei Bing, facing a combined assault from an Immortal Monarch and an Earth Immortal, soon could no longer hold out.

One of the ice shield plates became thinner and thinner, eventually getting pierced through.

Then, the terrible flames ruthlessly burned their way in.

Great Immortal Bei Bing’s feathered garment was immediately ignited, but he was beyond the point of paying attention to it. In this moment of crisis, Qin Niu acted again, directly absorbing the incoming flames into his body.

Now he and Great Immortal Bei Bing shared both glory and loss.

He could no longer afford to hide his skills.

Facing Immortal Monarchs and Earth Immortals of such calibers, his cultivation power was indeed somewhat insignificant.

However, the opponent was playing with fire and Qin Niu possessed the Fire Lotus, a heavenly treasure. He had refined it into a Lotus Platform with the help of the Medicine King Sutra. He couldn’t claim to resist all fires in the world, but ordinary flames certainly couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Having just absorbed a bit of the flames, his eyes brightened.

“Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s flames are of quite high quality!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, having been frozen by Great Immortal Bei Bing, had accumulated towering rage. The flames he unleashed with all his might at this moment were at least of True Fire Level, many times more powerful than ordinary flames.

Qin Niu could clearly feel the Fire Lotus within him ‘greedily’ absorbing these high-level fire energies. His cultivation power from the Medicine King Sutra grew at a pleasing rate.

This feeling of rapid growth in cultivation was quite comfortable for him.

Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch was not a fool and quickly spotted that something was amiss.

Originally wearing a grim smile as he waited to reduce Great Immortal Bei Bing to ashes, he found to his surprise that although one side of the opponent’s Ice Armor had been breached, it still had not fallen, nor showed any anomalies.

“`

After a careful examination, he finally discovered the clue.

It turned out that the youngster with merely the Immortal Scholar Realm cultivation took on the flame attack for Immortal Monarch Haosnow.

“How could this youngster withstand my True Fire attack?” Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch felt extremely puzzled.

Earlier, his thunder technique attack had been successfully blocked by Qin Niu, which already made him immensely covet the beast horn in Qin Niu’s hand. Such treasures capable of withstanding thunder were few and far between, each one incredibly precious.

The beast horn in Qin Niu’s hand was even more advanced than the Flood Dragon horn he used for casting the Thunder Technique.

The Thunder Technique attack was Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s proudest offensive method, almost always successful. If he could obtain the beast horn from Qin Niu, his Thunder Technique would certainly ascend to another level.

At this moment, seeing that Qin Niu could also take on his True Fire, with Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s vast experience, he immediately thought that there might be other treasures on Qin Niu.

Upon this realization, even with a thousand years of cultivation and a heart as steadfast as rock, Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s heart pounded with excitement.

Lightning and flame, these two types of treasures were precisely what Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch needed.

“It must be this Immortal Monarch’s great fortune!”

Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, an old hand at this, knew well the allure of treasures. In the face of such significant interests, even the Huoyun Ancestor would be tempted.

If Huoyun Ancestor were to kill Immortal Monarch Haosnow and casually exterminate that youngster as well, he would definitely discover the treasures on the youngster. By then, it would be too late for him, this Immortal Monarch, to even have a share.

After all, the rule was clear.

Whoever killed the person would take the spoils.

With a whole host of followers to look after, how could Huoyun Ancestor possibly share the treasures with Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch?

Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch felt he could wait no longer.

Otherwise, missing the opportunity would lead to eternal regret. Such a great opportunity was hard to come by, right in front of him, and it would be a pity if he failed to seize it.

He made an important decision and directly said to the Huoyun Ancestor, “Great leader, you are an Earth Immortal-tier powerhouse, and Immortal Monarch Haosnow possesses strong mana, let me leave him to you. As for the rest of the riffraff, leave them all to me to clean up.”

“Excellent!”

Fire Cloud Sect Master readily agreed.

Little did he dream that his subordinate, Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, was scheming.

While Immortal Monarch Haosnow was tied down, Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch directly invoked a flag and cast a spell towards Qin Niu through the air. Qin Niu, previously protected inside the Ice Armor, suddenly felt his body uncontrollably shifted by a powerful force.

After a moment of dizziness, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

Surrounding him were blazing flames.

Hovering ahead was an immortal clad in a red feathered robe, none other than Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch.

“Boy, hand over all the treasures on you, and this Immortal Monarch may consider not obliterating your soul. Hesitate, and I won’t let you transcend in death,” Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch said, making no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes.

Faced with such a formidable being, Qin Niu dared not entertain any thoughts of resistance.

Without a word, he immediately turned to flee.

“Hmph, within my Flame Flag, unless your mana surpasses mine, escape is impossible even if you had wings,” Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch was not afraid of Qin Niu running away at all.

Qin Niu darted about, only to find endless flames in every direction, scalding his skin and causing pain.

Luckily, he had the Fire Lotus, which could absorb the energy of flames, saving him from being burnt alive.

Realizing he couldn’t escape, Qin Niu remembered he still had an Invisibility Talisman he had bought from Grandfather Bei Bing. Without a second thought, he activated it.

His body instantly faded and vanished.

“Such a masterful Invisibility Spell!” Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch couldn’t help but praise; his interest in Qin Niu grew even more. This youngster was simply a moving treasure trove.

It’s well-known that Invisibility Spells are among the most precious of techniques.

Although not many immortals mastered Invisibility Spells—perhaps only a hundred or so—almost any powerhouse who had attained the Great Immortal Envoy Realm had the chance to learn this spell.

But the Invisibility Spells they cast were not sophisticated, and none could escape detection by Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s Fire Eyes.

Now, Qin Niu, using just a talisman to perform the Invisibility Spell, had managed to become undetectable to Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, who, instead of hurrying to kill Qin Niu, wanted to learn this advanced Invisibility Spell.

If he could master such a skillful Invisibility Spell, even in the most perilous situations in the future, he would be able to preserve his life with ease.
