Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 819 Heavenly Punishment Cuts Qingluan [Subscribe]

[The Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] is a famous treasure from the ancient times, and is the treasure of the great masters in the upper realm!
In ancient times, the number of demon saint-level beings who died from this sword exceeded one hand, and among them there were two from the Fire Phoenix clan alone!
This sword was originally supposed to be called "Tian Xing", but because it killed so many demon saints, it was given the name "Tian Xing Lu Yao Sword".

At the end of the ancient times, a powerful human being wanted to ascend to heaven with the sword after the arrival of the evil energy, which eventually led to the sword never appearing in front of people again.

In the turbulent years that followed, despite the demon saints and alien races causing trouble for the human race, the sword was never seen again, so the rumor that it had been taken away by someone to ascend to heaven was completely confirmed.

A demon saint with a long lifespan like the Qingluan Demon Saint had naturally heard of this rumor and believed it!

At this moment, she undoubtedly paid the price for her wrong belief!

As Venerable Changchun said "Please let the Qingluan Demon Saint try the sword", the [Tianxing Demon-Slaying Sword] in his hand suddenly burst out with a blood-red sword light, dyeing the blue-black sword body into blood red.

Then the sword suddenly disappeared in front of him, and instantly crossed a thousand miles and appeared right above the Qingluan Demon Saint.

At this moment, although the Demon Saint Qingluan was terrified in his heart, he was still unwilling to sit there and wait for death, and he used all his strength to activate his [Qingluan Holy Fire], completely transforming into a flaming phoenix bird, and had pushed the power of the wind and fire laws that he mastered to the extreme.

This state is very dangerous and one may very likely encounter danger of transformation afterwards.

But facing the famous [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword], the Demon Saint Qingluan felt that this was not enough!
As a demon saint, she naturally also has treasures of the Tongtian Lingbao level.

At this moment, red flames appeared on her body, and soon a giant flaming claw flew out, facing the blood-red sword light.

But the red flame and the blood-red sword light collided and clashed, and in the blink of an eye the red flame was cut down and shattered by the blood-red sword light!
In the dissipated red flames, it can be seen that its true form is a sharp bird claw, which seems to be made from the claw of a powerful fire phoenix.

After cutting off the flaming claw, the blood-red sword light slashed the flaming phoenix without any hindrance.

In an instant, a shrill phoenix cry resounded through the sky!

The flaming phoenix in the sky was chopped off in half by the blood-red sword light.

The terrifying thing is that her entire body had clearly turned into flames, but under the sword light, she was still no different from a flesh and blood body.

Then one saw the blue-red blood of the phoenix bird spilling into the sky. The Blue Luan Demon Saint, with half of his body cut off, was madly dragging the remaining half of his body and fleeing rapidly.

She had never seen such a terrifying magic weapon!

The power contained in the flying sword was so great that it could even break apart the laws and Taoist texts that were imprinted in her True Blood Taoist body!

The overbearing power not only made it difficult for her [Immortal Body] magical power to function, but even her [Nirvana] magical power seemed to be restricted, and her instinctive feelings could not take effect!

No wonder two demon saints from the Fire Phoenix clan were killed by this sword in ancient times!
The power of this sword is too much to restrain a race like them who are known for their strong physical bodies.

The Demon Saint Qingluan even suspected that even if the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint in his prime was hit by a sword, the magical power of [Immortal Body] might not be able to allow him to regenerate his severed limbs!
This may be the true meaning of the word "Tian Xing".

At this moment, his True Blood Dao Body was cut off, and the Demon Saint Qingluan had completely lost the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

She did not hesitate to burn her own true blood and burst out with an unprecedented powerful speed in an attempt to escape from the attack range of Lord Changchun.

But her speed is fast, so how could Reverend Changchun be slow!
Then the figure of Venerable Changchun flashed, and soon he chased after the Demon Saint Qingluan and left the State of Yu.

From the time Venerable Changchun showed up to the time he chased after the Blue Luan Demon Saint, it lasted less than a hundred breaths, so fast that many Zhou family cultivators had not yet recovered from the terror brought by the Blue Luan Demon Saint!
Only after the two had gone far away did Luo Qingni, Zhou Zhiying and the others come to their senses.

"Senior Tai Geng, this is..."

Zhou Zhiying looked towards the incarnation of Taigeng God, as if he wanted to clarify the situation.

But the incarnation of Taigeng God just shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter either. Maybe it was decided by Senior Changchun at the last minute!"

Zhou Zhiying naturally didn't believe his answer.

Making a sudden decision to protect Zhou Chun, is this a joke?
But since the incarnation of Taigeng God didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She immediately ordered her disciple Zhou Yufu to lead people to repair the damaged parts of the [Three-Phase Annihilation Array] and check the family's losses.

Feng Yuanjun couldn't help but fly out of the Zhou family's mountain gate and flew towards the place where the blood of the Qingluan Demon Saint was spilled in the sky.

Reverend Changchun chased very quickly and only took away a small piece of the severed body of the Qingluan Demon Saint. He did not have time to collect the scattered holy blood and feathers of the Demon Saint.

These things may not have any effect on Reverend Changchun, but for Lord Feng Yuan, they are all great tonics.

By absorbing and refining the holy blood of demons and spirits from the same origin, she might be able to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the laws of the great Dao.

Zhou Chun, who was in the process of reaching the state of spiritual transformation, was naturally unaware of what was happening outside.

After he had been sinking in the inner world of his inner demons for an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard a vague and mysterious sound, and a cool breath entered his body, and he saw the mysterious light of the purple sun.

Then, in his eyes, the inner world of the inner demon, which originally had no flaws, began to have some flaws that were not there before.

Once the flaw was discovered, the inner demon world no longer had a chance to trap his consciousness.

Soon he saw more flaws, and the inner world of the inner demon quickly collapsed because of the appearance of these flaws!

After experiencing the baptism of the "heart demon calamity" in this way, Zhou Chun found that his control over the power of the laws of the Tao had become much stronger, and it seemed to have become easier to touch the power of the laws of the Tao.

But before he could get familiar with these things, thick and continuous thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

Originally, because he was going through the "vital energy catastrophe", he attracted the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth around the entire Kunwu Mountains. At this time, the thunderclouds absorbed the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth on the spot, and quickly formed the legendary forty-nine catastrophes.

"Hurry up and get everyone out of the mountain gate!"

The incarnation of Taigeng God looked at the forty-nine calamities that were quickly forming in the sky, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly ordered people to retreat.

Fortunately, because Zhou Chun was in seclusion to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment, the Zhou family had reduced the number of clansmen in the mountain gate, leaving only a few to maintain the operation of the sect's formation.

At this time, the incarnation of Taigeng God gave a warning, and sensing the terrifying thunderclouds in the sky, Luo Qingni, Zhou Zhiying and others quickly used their methods to quickly take all the Zhou family cultivators inside the mountain gate out of the mountain gate.

In this way, less than an hour had passed, and the forty-nine calamities had accumulated enough energy to bring down the calamity thunder.

All I saw was lightning flashing wildly in the sky. Before the first bolt of lightning actually fell, thick silver lightning covered Kunwu Peak and the surrounding area within a hundred miles.

These can all be regarded as the first thunder of tribulation, but they are just the power leaked out of the thunder of tribulation!
Even with this kind of leaked power, the power of each lightning bolt exceeded the last lightning of the Demon King's thunder tribulation, and was enough to kill an early Nascent Soul cultivator and a fifth-rank low-grade Demon King!
In other words, the power of any silver lightning is comparable to a full-strength attack from an ordinary great monk!
This is exactly the horror of the forty-nine calamities!
Compared with such a terrifying thunder tribulation, the thunder tribulation that cultivators go through when they form their infants is just like playing house.

However, Zhou Chun's strength at this time cannot be measured by that of an ordinary great cultivator.

I saw that a set of black armor with a green lotus pattern on it appeared on his body at some point, emitting a green light that protected him.

This set of black armor is exactly the defensive magic treasure [Green Lotus Tribulation Armor] that he originally gave to his son Zhou Xinyuan!
Since he had to overcome forty-nine tribulations, Zhou Chun would of course use all the treasures that could increase his chances of success.

At this moment, he was wearing the [Green Lotus Tribulation Armor], in front of him was the [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield] that was shining with golden light, above his head was the [Qiankun Soul-Suppressing Tower] that was emitting bright yellow light, and under his feet was the [Wanhua Golden Tripod] that was shining with thousands of golden rays!
The four magic treasures worked together, and the falling silver lightning shattered and disappeared before it got within thirty feet of him.

It wasn't until the first thunderbolt actually struck that there were slight changes.

Then, amidst the myriad thunder and lightning, a dragon roar was heard, and a silver thunder dragon composed purely of destructive thunder descended from the sky, swooping down towards Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun's mind moved, and the [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield] immediately took off and turned into a giant shield that covered the sky and blocked the silver thunder dragon. Above the giant shield, golden mysterious light formed a golden sky curtain with a dragon shadow swimming on it, which had already activated the [Dragon Soul Guardian] magical power.

Rumble!
When the silver thunder dragon hit the golden sky, it immediately caused a series of deafening explosions, as if countless bombs were detonating at the same time.

The surging lightning completely covered and submerged the golden sky.

After dozens of breaths had passed, the silver lightning gradually dissipated, revealing a much smaller golden sky.

The first thunderbolt passed.

However, Zhou Chun did not dare to show any joy, because this was only the first thunder!
And the forty-ninth calamity has a total of thirty-six thunders!

The power of this first thunderbolt was actually not that bad. It was only slightly stronger than when he used all his strength to activate the [Nine-Nine Mysterious Heaven Sword Gourd], but it was not as powerful as a true incarnation attack.

However, the time for its power to continue to be unleashed is extremely long.

Although Zhou Chun seemed to have survived the first thunderbolt with ease, nearly 20% of his magic power was consumed.

Calculating this way, even if the power of the subsequent thunderbolts remains unchanged, he can only block five thunderbolts at most in his full state!

This does not take into account the durability of the [Nine-Star Dragon Scale Shield].

You know, continuously resisting such fierce and high-intensity attacks is a huge test for a spiritual treasure like the [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield], and the durability of a spiritual treasure is not as easy to recover as the magic power of a cultivator!
But now that things have come to this, Zhou Chun has no second choice, nor does he have the energy to think too much.

Because just a few breaths after the first thunder of tribulation ended, the derivative thunder of the second thunder of tribulation had already fallen.

Zhou Chun considered the durability of the magic treasure, and when dealing with these derived thunders, he switched to the protective magic power [Hunyuan Xuanguan] released by [Qiankun Zhenling Tower].

The bright yellow glow protected him, and the derived thunder that fell on it only shook the glow slightly.

On the other hand, the Kunwu Peak below was struck by these thunders, causing rocks to crack and grass to turn to ashes. The loss was indeed huge.

However, compared with Zhou Chun's spiritual concentration, these losses were insignificant. No one, whether he or other Zhou family cultivators, cared about this.

After relying on [Hunyuan Xuanguan] to block the derivative thunder of the second thunder, Zhou Chun switched to [Jiuyao Dragon Scale Shield] to block it after the second thunder fell.

After blocking four thunderbolts in a row, Zhou Chun immediately took three drops of [Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk] to restore his magic power. At the same time, he also took the [Heaven-Repairing Soul-Restoring Pill] given to him by the incarnation of Taigeng God.

After he survived the "vital energy catastrophe", although his injuries were not as terrible as those of his predecessors who left their experiences in becoming a spirit, he was still seriously injured.

If the meridians in the body are not repaired in time, even if the [Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk] is used to restore mana, the mana consumption will be greatly increased, and the recovery effect will be discounted. In this way, relying on the [Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk] to restore mana, Zhou Chun quickly resisted the first round of nine thunderbolts.

Before the second round of thunder struck, Zhou Chun checked the condition of the [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield] and the result was not optimistic.

After being bombarded by thunder and lightning, many tiny cracks that are invisible to the naked eye have appeared inside this treasure. If it can be nurtured for a long time, there may be no danger.

But if you continue to use it to withstand the bombardment of thunder, it will surely not last long before it is completely shattered!
After discovering this, Zhou Chun decided to use a magic weapon to resist the second round of thunder.

It’s not that he can’t afford to lose such a spiritual treasure, but good steel should be used on the blade!

The most powerful magical power of [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield] [Immortal Soul] can withstand the sixth-level attack, so it should be reserved to fight against the last round of thunder.

So when the second round of thunder fell, the spiritual treasure that was used to block the thunder was replaced by the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower].

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower] is not as good as the [Nine-Yao Dragon Scale Shield], but it is not much inferior either.

The key is that its body is harder and more resistant to damage than the [Nine-Star Dragon Scale Shield]!
Even if the power of the thunder can penetrate the protection of the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower], it will be blocked by the [Green Lotus Tribulation Armor] on Zhou Chun's body.

However, in this way, Zhou Chun consumed even more magic power. After all, he was activating two magic treasures at the same time.

Fortunately, he had a large amount of [Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk] in his hand, which was enough to support his loss.

As for the fact that frequent use of [Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk] to restore mana would cause damage to the meridians, it was obviously impossible to care about that at this time.

As long as you can survive the forty-nine tribulations, all problems will no longer be a problem!
After about a quarter of an hour, the second round of thunder passed despite Zhou Chun's strenuous resistance.

The [Qiankun Zhenling Tower], which had shouldered an important task, also had many cracks under the bombardment of thunder and encountered the same problem as the [Jiuyao Dragon Scale Shield].

However, it is stronger than the [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield], and it is Zhou Chun's natal magic treasure, so its situation is better.

Despite this, when the third round of thunder appeared, Zhou Chun changed his way of overcoming the tribulation again.

I saw that the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower] above his head and the [Wanhua Golden Tripod] under his feet had switched positions, now with the Tripod above and the Tower below.

Golden light gushed out from the golden tripod, revealing a golden light curtain that protected Zhou Chun.

At the same time, he raised his hand, and a silver flying sword surrounded by lightning appeared in his hand.

In order to survive the forty-nine tribulations, Zhou Chun would naturally not forget the magical treasure [Tiangang Thunder Sword].

Compared to the [Nine-Nine Mysterious Heaven Sword Gourd], the [Tiangang Thunder Sword] is undoubtedly more useful in such occasions.

When the calamity thunder transformed into a thunder dragon and swooped down again, the [Tiangang Thunder Sword] in Zhou Chun's hand also transformed into a giant sword of a hundred feet long under the activation of his magic power, and slashed upwards and collided with the heavenly thunder dragon.

After fighting for several breaths, the [Tiangang Thunder Sword] was the first to collapse and was knocked down from the clouds.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon also consumed most of its power in the collision. After impacting the golden light curtain arranged by the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron], it only caused the golden light curtain to tremble and shake for a while before it ran out of power and dissipated.

After that, Zhou Chun used his sword again and passed through four thunder strikes in the same way.

It was not until the fifth thunderbolt fell that he sensed that many cracks had appeared on the [Tiangang Thunder Sword], and then he put away the treasure and used all his strength to activate the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] to emit a [Spiritual Golden Light].

When this [Spiritual Golden Light] came into contact with the falling Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon, the size of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Dragon was immediately reduced by one third, and its power was greatly reduced.

However, the remaining power of the thunder was enough to cause the golden light curtain arranged by the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] to shake violently, showing signs of collapse.

This is how heavenly thunder tribulations work, each one stronger than the last.

In this third round of thunder, the power of each thunder is much stronger than that of the first round.

Therefore, although [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] was Zhou Chun's earliest natal magic weapon, it seemed to be performing somewhat poorly at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun had to change his strategy.

When the sixth thunderbolt fell, he urged the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] to resist in front, and at the same time, he used the [Qiongqi Entering the Dream] innate magical power to empower himself, and used all his strength to activate the [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] magical power to shoot out an extremely huge golden light blade.

I saw a golden light blade several meters long slashing upwards and colliding with the silver thunder dragon that fell from the sky, and it immediately cut half of the silver thunder dragon's body into pieces.

But the good times did not last long. The golden light blade, which was running out of power, soon disintegrated and disappeared under the continuous impact of the thunder. Even the protective light curtain supported by the golden tripod below also flickered and shook violently, and its luster dimmed a lot.

Before Zhou Chun could catch his breath, the seventh thunderbolt came and fell.

He could only activate [Spiritual Golden Light] again to fight back.

However, the weakened Silver Thunder Dragon still brought devastating damage to the golden light curtain below, and soon completely defeated the golden light curtain's protection.

In an instant, the golden tripod and Zhou Chun himself were exposed to the bombardment of silver thunder.

Under the impact of the raging power of thunder, Zhou Chun's [Blue Lotus Tribulation Armor] was activated to the extreme. The blue lotus pattern on the armor glowed brightly, and the blue light was like a blooming blue lotus that protected Zhou Chun inside, resisting and dissolving the impact of thunder.

When the power of the thunder was exhausted, tiny cracks began to appear on this magical armor.

After all, it is just a pretty good defensive magic treasure. If it can withstand an attack from the third wave of thunder of the forty-nine calamities, it lives up to its name as a magic treasure.

You have to know that with the power of the current thunder, ordinary spiritual treasures are not qualified to fight against it.

Now, the power of each thunderbolt is no less than the attack that Ye Qingxuan used when he activated the [Splitting Sky] sword. The key is that the aftereffect is continuous, which is far beyond the short, flat and fast attacks of sword cultivators!

At this time Zhou Chun knew that he had to make some choices.

With his strength, it is too unrealistic to want to survive the forty-nine tribulations without losing any spiritual treasures, or only losing one [Nine-ray Dragon Scale Shield].

Not to mention him, no cultivator who is going through the tribulation can do this!
Therefore, when the seventh thunderbolt fell, apart from letting the [Wanhua Jinding] block it slightly, he left the rest to the [Qinglian Huajie Armor] and his own protective abilities.

In an instant, the green lotus that protected Zhou Chun swayed for a moment under the waves of thunder and lightning, and then exploded like a broken light bulb.

Then the black armor on his body exploded into pieces.

Without the blocking of this magical armor, the remaining power of the thunder immediately rushed towards Zhou Chun's body.

At this moment, Zhou Chun's body was shining with golden light, as if it was made of pure gold. No matter how the thunder and lightning struck it, it would not be hurt at all!

It turned out that he had activated the magical power of [Heavenly Gold Body], and relying on the powerful defense brought by this magical power, he withstood the impact of the remaining power of the thunder.

When the eighth thunderbolt fell, Zhou Chun transformed the cauldron into a sword, turning the [Wanhua Jinding] into a giant golden sword, carrying the [Hua Ling Jin Guang] and slashing towards the falling silver thunder dragon.

When the sword fell, it directly chopped the silver thunder dragon into pieces in mid-air, destroying most of the power of the thunder.

However, the scattered power of the thunder soon hit him again following the induction, dispersing a lot of the golden light on his body, and his [Heavenly Gold Body] magical power was almost destroyed!
After the ninth thunderbolt fell, Zhou Chun decisively urged the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower] to push up.

The bright yellow pagoda on top of the sky collided with the silver thunder dragon in the air, erupting with dazzling silver lightning and brilliant yellow clouds.

After dozens of breaths of interaction, the yellow light finally overwhelmed the silver light and successfully blocked the thunder.

But the price was that visible cracks appeared on the body of the [Qiankun Zhenling Tower]. In terms of the extent of the damage, it was more serious than the self-detonation of the soul of the sixth-level being of the Multi-Winged Clan!

"There's only one round left! The last round has nine thunderbolts, each of which is as powerful as a divine attack. If you survive this, you'll be able to attain divine enlightenment!"

Thousands of miles away from Kunwu Peak, the incarnation of Taigeng Divine Lord looked at the violent thunderclouds that had temporarily stopped, and a rare look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

The human race has not seen a new deity for a long time, and now there is an urgent need for a new deity to appear.

This is not only to fill the vacancy left by the death of the veteran gods, but also to inspire other human cultivators to pursue the Tao and let them know that they can still achieve gods in this life!
"Do you think he can succeed?"

Just as the incarnation of Taigeng God was concentrating on looking at the figure of the person who was undergoing tribulation in the distance, an old and deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

He couldn't help but shudder all over and immediately turned around to look behind him.

A dozen feet behind him, he saw Venerable Changchun holding the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] in one hand and the decapitated body of the Blue Luan Bird in the other. He had come behind him at some point.

Seeing this scene, he was shocked at first, and then he blurted out with joy: "Senior Changchun, has he killed the Blue Luan Demon Saint?"

Unexpectedly, Changchun Reverend shook his head and said, "We only destroyed her True Blood Dao Body and Demon Pill. Her demon soul consciousness should have been transferred into a physical body through some kind of incarnation transfer method!"

"That's enough! The True Blood Dao Body is more important to the Demon Saint than our acquired Dao Body. Without this True Blood Dao Body and the sixth-level demon pill, even if she can rebuild through the incarnation, she will have to go through the three tribulations of the Dao again in the future. It is almost impossible for her to return to the sixth level!"

The incarnation of Taigeng Divine Lord smiled happily and clapped his hands in applause. He did not care that Qingluan Demon Saint had escaped the demon soul consciousness.

The demon race originally cultivates their bloodline and flesh body. When they reach the demon saint realm, they forge a true blood body, and there is no possibility of changing their foundation.

Therefore, the importance of its true blood body is equivalent to the Nascent Soul of human cultivators!
Once the True Blood Dao Body is gone, even if one escapes from the demon soul consciousness, it will be difficult to return to the sixth level.

Because in order to recast a true blood Taoist body, one must go through the three tribulations of Taoism again, which are the "Tribulations of Vitality", "Tribulations of Heart Demons", and "Forty-nine Tribulations" that Zhou Chun is experiencing at this time!
The Demon Saint Qingluan has now lost his true blood body and demon pill. Even if he is reborn in another incarnation, his cultivation level can only be that of a fifth-rank upper-quality demon king at best.

Not to mention how low its success rate will be in going through the three tribulations again in the future, it will take an unknown amount of time just for the demon soul consciousness and the new body to adjust to each other, and it is basically impossible for it to pose any threat to the human race.

Therefore, the incarnation of Taigeng God could not help but applaud and cheer at this time, feeling extremely happy.

And the Changchun Master sighed softly and said, "Killing a demon saint only weakens the enemy's strength. If we want to strengthen the power of our human race, we have to cultivate new gods!"

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Chun who was going through the tribulation, and said with a hint of expectation: "I hope this young man won't let us down!"
