Shi Feiyang had re-refined his Water and Fire Inner Core on the Trap-empty Island, resulting in a qualitative change from before and a significant increase in its power. He never expected that Daoist to be able to withstand it.

He was very curious about what thing or technique the Daoist used to block his Water and Fire Inner Core. Upon closer inspection, he saw within the blood-red evil light countless shuttle-shaped items, each about an inch long with sharp tips shining at both ends, darting and clashing within the evil light – that's what had blocked his two inner cores.

When the other party asked, he couldn't be bothered to answer, and instead he exhaled a breath of True Yuan, driving his Water and Fire Inner Core to rotate even faster and with sharply increased power, forcing the Daoist's red light to fly backwards.

The Scattering Flower Daoist couldn't understand how a Demon Dragon could possess such mana. Having spent many years in the North Sea, he had seen all sorts of strange and monstrous demons and had encountered a few powerful True Dragons. He even refined Dragon Balls from them, but none could compare to the one in front of him; they weren't even fit to carry its shoes!

The Daoist was using his most powerful Magical Treasure, yet it couldn't withstand the collision with the other's inner core. He abandoned the idea of capturing it as a pet and decided to kill this Black Dragon instead, for its Dragon Tendon, Dragon Horn, and Dragon Blood could all be used in medicine. The Dragon Soul could be extracted for refining Magical Treasures.

He shouted loudly and flicked his fingers, causing the shuttle-shaped items in the blood light to instantly explode. Each one erupted into a mass of Blood Flame Golden Needles, like a cluster of red clouds bursting open out of thin air, extending dozens of yards wide. Not only did they completely submerge the two inner cores, but many needles also shot towards Shi Feiyang.

Huang Zhang yelled, "Dragon God, be careful! Those are Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needles!"

The Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needle was a Magical Treasure recorded in the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture". This scripture was divided into three parts: one with the Geng Kun brothers, one with the Red Corpse God Monarch, and one with Master Di Can of Red Cloud.

Both the Red Corpse God Monarch and Master Di Can had refined Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needles, and wielding them, they roamed the world almost invincible, establishing great renown.

This needle had a mother-and-child hidden function; in ordinary battles, just the shuttle-shaped needles sufficed, but against powerful enemies, the needles could explode, releasing countless Blood Flame Golden Needles from inside.

Master Red Cloud's Scattering Flower Needle was the most famous. The shuttle-shaped mother needles alone numbered ninety thousand, each capable of bursting into three hundred and sixty child needles, with a total of over thirty million child needles. Once they burst in the sky, they would look like a temporary spread of red clouds, accompanied by millions of Blood Flames scattering like petals, with Golden Needles bursting forth like stamens – extremely beautiful yet terrifying. Over the years, countless cultivators had perished under her Scattering Flower Needles!

The Scattering Flower Daoist's set of needles was relatively simpler to refine, with only three thousand shuttle-shaped mother needles, each mother needle producing just seventy-two child needles. The grand total was over two hundred thousand needles. But even so, it was enough to leave enemies struggling to defend themselves.

The most powerful aspect of these needles was that they could automatically lock onto the target. The Golden Needles, accompanied by Blood Flames, would not return without drawing blood, acting like demons with a will of their own. If someone was not strong enough to control so many Golden Needles and the opponent was fully defended, drawing no blood, the needles could easily get out of control, swarming back to attack their master, bursting into their body with Blood Flames, reducing them to a skeleton.

When Shi Feiyang saw the bursting red cloud with dense Golden Needles shooting out, he knew it was dangerous and quickly spat out more True Yuan, channeling it into the two inner cores.

The basic acceleration of the Water and Fire Inner Core formed a Tai Chi Pattern of water and fire. As he accelerated again, the Tai Chi Pattern began to blur, transforming into a mass of Chaos, with many nebulas emerging within...

This was the marvelous use of his inner core after it had absorbed the Star Absorption from Daoist Han Guang.

He didn't know how Cold Light Daoist had refined it, nor with what it had been refined, but the only thing he knew was that the star cloud contained extremely potent energy. This energy was not dissipating outward but absorbing inward, the inner cores would have their Dan Qi drawn away as soon as they approached. Unsure of how to store this star cloud, he concocted this method: placing it between two inner cores, making them revolve around each other. In doing so, as long as they were in motion, the Dan Qi wouldn't be absorbed. Moreover, when the rotation speed was fast enough, it could generate a stronger suction force outward.

He had experimented with this multiple times in the Cultivation Cave on Chentian Island before, but this was the first time he was employing it against an enemy.

After the Tai Chi Diagram transformed into the Chaos Map, its suction power doubled. The flying needles that were erupting all around were completely absorbed. Their tips, which had locked onto Shi Feiyang and were ready to pierce and draw blood, now couldn't make their way over. Instead, they were intercepted, forcibly pulled toward the center and amassed.

Shi Feiyang, intending to seek out Geng Kun to study the Chi You Three Disks Scripture, knew that these Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needles were from that scripture. Thus, he sprayed another burst of Dan Qi towards them, managing to attach all the needles onto the True Water Inner Core.

Once the needles were taken, the remaining Blood Flame red lights naturally dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

Scattering Flower Daoist watched, dumbfounded. He had recently perfected the Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needle, tried it a few times with invincible ease. Old foes much stronger than him had fallen to these needles with a single strike, piercing through both their Primordial Spirit Soul and body, burning them down to nothing more than a wisp of ash.

Yet unexpectedly, today before a Demon Dragon, the needles lost their effect and were even collected by his opponent!

For the refining of these Scattering Flower Needles, he had spent a good twenty years—twenty years! And now, they were taken away by a beast!

Enraged, he knew he needed to make a quick escape now, or he would lose his life.

He flicked his horsetail whisk, released his Flying Sword, and executed Body and Sword Combined, turning into a red rainbow streaking away into the distance.

Shi Feiyang's inner core, like a comet, rapidly smashed after him. In the state of Body and Sword Combined, Sword Qi merged with his body, sword light guarded the surface, he was the sword and the sword was him, the speed was much faster than ordinary Sword Control.

Usually, after Sword Immortals reached Human Sword Unity and escaped on swords, others couldn't intercept them.

However, Shi Feiyang's Chaos Inner Core possessed a strong suction force. Scattering Flower Daoist, flying away from the inner core, couldn't pick up speed and ultimately, dozens of miles away, was caught up to by the inner core and exploded into a dazzling red cloud.

Over two hundred thousand Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needles dispersed from the inner core, blown by the blast wave, scattering in all directions. The Dao Level of Scattering Flower Daoist was not weak, and after sustaining a blow from the inner core in Body and Sword Combined form, he was only separated from his sword, his Primordial Qi injured but not yet fatal. Unfortunately, the Golden Needles previously absorbed by the inner core suddenly erupted, chaotically stabbing into his body from head to toe. As each needle encountered blood, its tip instantly shot out flames, scorching flesh and bone!

Scattering Flower Daoist screamed loudly, plummeting from the sky. Before he even reached the sea, he had burnt into a black skeleton. As the skeleton fell into the sea, his Primordial Spirit was still firmly targeted by the dense Golden Needles. He howled loudly, begging for mercy. After Shi Feiyang pondered for a moment, Scattering Flower Daoist had already been reduced to ashes.

Shi Feiyang once again used his inner core to absorb all of the Red Cloud Scattering Flower Needles. This time, having tasted blood, the Golden Needles were much more subdued than before, and he easily collected them into his hands. First, he sealed them with Mana, planning to study them in detail when he had more time.
