With A Crippled Spiritual Core, I Become The Boss Of The Cultivation World - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Great Battle Results

The plans were unable to keep up with the changes, and Wang Ping encountered one such unlucky incident again.

He had a good sleep in the “Heaven and Earth Shell” and meditated for four hours after. When he came out, he discovered that strong gusts of wind were blowing outside and there was a heavy downpour.

Under the torrential rain, Xiao Feng, who was holding the “Heaven and Earth” in its mouth, had already hidden under a large tree to avoid the rain. However, this did not change the fact that its fur had gotten wet.

“How unlucky. It looks like we won’t be able to do anything tonight.”

Wang Ping raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky full of dense rain clouds. After calculating the time, he muttered “bad luck” and sent Xiao Feng back into the “Heaven and Earth Shell” to rest. Then, after putting the shell away, he went to the seaside to check the situation.

As he expected, due to the violent storm, the Illusory Cloud Clams had already sunk into the sand at the bottom of the sea to hide, and the fog in the bay had long been dispersed by the violent wind.

Upon seeing this, he could only return to the “Heaven and Earth Shell” to continue training Bai Yu.

For the next two days, the weather was extremely bad; many trees on the island had been blown apart by the strong winds, and Wang Ping could only hide in the “Heaven and Earth Shell,” walking the wolf and training the bird.

On the fourth day after Wang Ping arrived on the island, the weather finally returned to normal.

The wind had stopped, the rain had stopped. The Illusory Cloud Clams in the bay came out once again.

When Wang Ping saw the thick fog reappearing in the bay, he knew that the bad weather would most likely not return.

Demon beasts in the sea always had the ability to predict changes in the weather, which humans could not. The fishermen by the sea were very clear about this.

Most of the time, the experienced fishermen would be able to predict an incoming storm, when they went out to sea to catch fish, based on the unusual movements of the fish and prawns in the sea. Then, they would return to the land in advance to hide.

It was another quiet night.

Because there were only less than five days until the night of the full moon, the moon in the sky looked much rounder than a few days ago, and the moonlight was also much brighter.

High atop the trees, Wang Ping watched as the Illusory Cloud Clams climbed up the beach from the sea one after another, spitting out clam pearls to absorb the power of the moon. His eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of greed.

Tonight was the time for him to make his move. After tonight, a portion of those shiny spiritual beads would become his spoils of

war.

Wang Ping had already decided on the timing of the attack. It would begin at midnight.

At that time, the moon would be high in the sky, which was when the Illusory Cloud Clams would be the most focused on absorbing the power of the moon and would be the least vigilant.

If he and Xiao Feng were to make a move at that time, they would be able to kill their way over with lightning speed, and would probably be able to obtain the best results in the shortest time possible.

Time passed by slowly. When Wang Ping estimated that it was almost midnight, he prepared to take action.

To prepare for this moment, he had entered the foggy area by the beach early in the afternoon. He climbed up the coconut tree closest to the beach and stayed there for eight to ten hours.

A jump down the tree, and he would be able to land ten feet away from the nearest Illusory Cloud Clam. Once he landed, he would be able to start killing those demon clams.

And that was exactly what he did.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Ping took out the “Heaven and Earth Shell” from his bosom, held it in his hand, and then leaped.

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object falling onto the ground was like a thunderclap on dry land, instantly alerting the demon clams on the beach who were still absorbing the power of the moon.

Roar

Without waiting for the demon clams to recover from the shock and figure out what had happened, a loud wolf howl resounded on the beach.

Kill!

After Wang Ping released Xiao Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, he waved his hand and threw out his low-grade offensive Dharma artifact, the Meteor Fire-Snake Dart.

Once it was thrown out, the artifact instantly flew, like a meteorite, towards one of the mid-grade Tier-1 Illusory Cloud Clams which were more than a hundred feet away. It crashed into the clamshell right before the shell closed up.

On the other hand, Wang Ping did not even bother to check if his Dharma artifact had successfully hit its target. After taking out the Dharma artifact, he pulled out a long saber from his back with a flip of his hand, took a big step and charged forward, and directly cut into the Illusory Cloud Clam that had yet to close its shell. He sliced the meat and clamshell, causing the Illusory Cloud Clam to temporarily lose the ability to close its clamshell.

Afterward, he took a leap towards another Illusion Cloud Clam twenty to thirty meters away, intending to use the same trick.

However, right at this moment, a ball of almost indiscernible white mist drifted out from the Illusory Cloud Clam and enveloped Wang Ping before he could land his blow

All at once, Wang Ping’s body froze in his charging stance. His originally calm and collected face instantly revealed an expression of terror. The long saber in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Although he was able to break free from the clam’s illusion in just a few seconds, the Illusory Cloud Clam that was about to attack had already closed its shell and was moving towards the sea with all its might.

“Damn it!”

Wang Ping cursed under his breath with an ugly expression, not bothering to pick up the long blade on the ground. Instead, he quickly took a fishing net out from the “Heaven and Earth Shell” and began fishing for the underaged Illusion Cloud Clams.

His target this time was not just the adult Illusory Cloud Clam, but also those underage ones. In fact, the latter was even more important to him.

Now that the Illusory Cloud Clams on the beach had been alerted by him, they were prepared. If he focused all his attention on these clams, not only would he not gain much, but he would also let those underage clams escape. The gains would not make up for the losses.

However, even the underage Illusory Cloud Clams were generally not small in size. After casting a few nets, Wang Ping could only catch about twenty of them.

By the time he dragged these clams ashore, the rest of them had already fled into the sea. Only the five Illusory Cloud Clams that were severely injured by him and Xiao Feng were still struggling to escape back into the sea.

Among the five Illusion Cloud Clams, Wang Ping heavily injured two, and the remaining three were Xiao Feng’s doing.

However, just like him, Xiao Feng had been affected by the clam’s illusion technique when it wanted to do more damage. As a result, in the end, it missed the opportunity to continue doing more damage.

At this moment, Wang Ping turned around to deal with the injured Illusory Cloud Clams. It was simple—He and Xiao Feng worked together to kill the mid-grade Tier-1 Illusory Cloud Clam that had been severely injured by the Meteor Fire-Snake Dart and retrieved the offensive Dharma artifact.

Then, he injected Dharma power into his artifact, again and again, killing the remaining four clams.

After killing all the Illusory Cloud Clams on the beach, Wang Ping stored all their corpses together with the underage clams in the “Heaven and Earth Shell.” He also entered the shell himself, to process his earnings.

It was worth mentioning that if Wang Ping wanted to use the “Heaven and Earth Shell” to store living things, his cultivation level had to be one major realm higher than that of the living creatures. Moreover, the living creatures had to either be unable to resist or they must willingly allow themselves to be stored away

Therefore, he was able to store the underage Illusory Cloud Clams, which were not considered demon beasts, into the “Heaven and Earth Shell.” He could also store Xiao Feng inside, but he could not do this with the adult clams.
