Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

'The target is me?'

"However, how can the old demon's defensive spirit treasure be used for both offense and defense?"

"And isn't there only eighteen souls in the treasure? How come there are dozens of them? Could it be that the treasure has been recast in the last few thousand years?"

Ling Pengyun was extremely surprised to see that the defensive magic treasures around the Xu Ming Tiger Demon, who was in the perfect Nascent Soul stage, could actually summon such a powerful attacking spear, and that the spear was actually coming towards him.

He had little contact with the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan.

But through the channels of Xinghai Pavilion over the years, he had already learned about the strength of the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan.

And according to his understanding, the defensive spiritual treasure that the Xu Ming Tiger Demon is currently activating is called the Eighteen Souls Tiangang Pearl.

It is said that this treasure was forged by a demon emperor who had transformed into a god tens of thousands of years ago. He used a special fifth-grade precious iron called "Soul Jade Treasure Iron" and added the souls of eighteen Nascent Soul demon beasts as the main materials.

It has a body of precious iron, and the spirits of eighteen demon kings are attached to it, transforming into special souls that are similar to weapon spirits but have no intelligence and can only serve as energy reserves.

Both sides complement each other.

When activating the defensive treasure, one can directly draw on the magic power in the eighteen souls as a source without consuming the magic power of the activator himself.

This will be of great benefit to the war.

The Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan often uses this treasure when they have disputes with other forces.

Indirectly, this treasure became particularly famous.

However, since the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan created this treasure tens of thousands of years ago, this treasure has only been able to serve as a defensive measure, and has not mastered any offensive means.

The number of the eighteen souls contained in it has never increased.

This situation is very different from today.

All of this was indeed as Ling Pengyun had guessed, mainly because the treasure had been recast.
This matter dates back to thousands of years ago. Although the previous generation of Xutian Demon Flame Tiger's ancestor had ordinary cultivation, he was good at refining equipment. Even when his life was about to end, he managed to improve his refining attainments to the fifth level.

It's a pity that its life span is short. Otherwise, if it were given another thousand years to hone its skills, it is possible that this monster would be able to create a fifth-tier magical treasure.

In desperation, he could only settle for the second best and turn to the use of some quasi-fifth-level spiritual materials and fifth-level spiritual materials collected by the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan in the past ten thousand years to recast the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan's quasi-fifth-level and above spiritual treasures.

During this period, although there were many failures, there were also many successes, and the Eighteen Souls Tiangang Pearl was one of them.

In fact, because the great demon consumed two extremely rare fifth-grade spiritual materials and a large amount of quasi-fifth-grade spiritual materials when recasting the Tiangang Pearl, the improvement of this treasure was enormous.

It can be considered its best recast.

It is precisely because of this that the number of souls that this treasure can accommodate has doubled. Now it can accommodate thirty-six Nascent Souls, and can rely on the power of the souls to activate a powerful magical power called the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Star-Slaying Spear.

This method contains the power to break the barrier, and it is a magic technique to break the barrier, which cannot be compared with ordinary methods.

at the same time.

Although various defensive measures were arranged by Great Elder Xingqing and others around the barren mountain where Ling Pengyun was, the power of the magic spear transformed by the Eighteen Soul Spirit Tiangang Beads was so extraordinary that it had even reached the level of incarnation.

In addition, the two thunderclouds that Ling Pengyun had previously arranged were entangled by the sword light torrent transformed by the flying sword of the Xuming Tiger Demon.

"It seems that we have no choice but to resort to other means."

Ling Pengyun clasped his hands together, and a cloud of five-element Jiaoyang thunder appeared again on the top of the barren mountain where he was, and struck towards the attacking extraordinary divine spear with powerful five-element mysterious thunder.

But the spear was truly extraordinary and extremely sharp, and it actually shattered all the attacking black thunders.

However, a lot of its power was consumed.

Immediately afterwards, they drove straight in and headed straight for the barren mountain where Ling Pengyun and others were.

But at this moment, an extremely mysterious light shield suddenly covered the barren mountain.

It can actually mobilize the power of the stars in heaven and earth. Its aura is long-lasting and has become one with heaven and earth, as if it is indestructible.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to barely block the spear with his own strength.

The thundercloud in the sky took this opportunity and immediately madly released the five elements of mysterious thunder with extraordinary power to bombard the spear.

As time passed, in just three breaths, the spear's remaining power was reduced to only 50%.

"How could Ling Pengyun have mastered such a mysterious defensive ability?"

'This is trouble. '

The Xu Ming tiger demon in the Nascent Soul Perfection state in the distance saw this and his brows were full of surprise.

Although it knew that Ling Pengyun was extremely powerful, in the past, few demons had been able to force Ling Pengyun to use his defensive methods, so it was somewhat unaware of Ling Pengyun's attainments in defensive methods.

And now seeing that Ling Pengyun has achieved extraordinary accomplishments in this area.

If it was not mistaken, Ling Pengyun's current defensive method that could draw on the power of the stars, although still at the intermediate level of magical powers, was in line with his aura and must be a technique created by Ling Pengyun himself.

Moreover, the purpose of this technique is very far-reaching, pointing directly to the supreme divine Taoism and the star Taoism. This move is quite powerful, even stronger than the general supreme defensive means.

This was the Five Elements Planet Shield, the innate defensive intermediate magical power that Ling Pengyun had perfected after decades of hard practice.

Although the Tiangang Star-Slaying Spear activated by the Tiangang Pearl, a mysterious treasure of the Xuming Tiger Demon that is the foundation of his attack and defense, is extremely powerful, it can be broken under normal circumstances.

But there was still an extremely powerful Five Elements Jiaoyang Thundercloud in the sky that continuously shot out black thunder.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the Tiangang Zhuxing Spear will be killed by these two methods.

What's more, even if the Tiangang Star-Slaying Spear can break those two methods, there are still many defensive measures arranged by Great Elder Xingqing and others around the barren mountain.

For a moment, the Xuming Tiger Demon had a terrible headache and even had some thoughts of retreating.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in its mind.

"Xu Ming, Ling Pengyun has extraordinary potential. You must kill him. If you succeed, I will definitely remember your great achievement."

"I can even fully support you in reaching the Divine Transformation stage. Although my clan does not have the resources to do so now, there will be an opportunity to reach the Divine Transformation stage in ten years or so..."

The Xu Ming tiger demon was particularly familiar with this voice. It was the message from the incarnation of the ancestor Xu Tian Demon Flame Tiger King who was hiding in the dark.

The old ancestor's promise also made it extremely excited.

Although it is a demon, it also has a strong pursuit of the Tao.

According to the experience of their Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan, once one enters the state of incarnation, one's life span can be increased by four to five thousand years, and one's strength will reach the extreme...

"This kind of temptation is really irresistible."

'Besides, my cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and the only way left for me is to enter the Divine Transformation stage. If I don't enter the Divine Transformation stage, the few hundred years of my life left will be just that. Rather than doing that, I might as well give it a try.'

The Xuming Tiger Demon was certain in his heart.

Then, it decided to fight to the death.

Immediately, it activated the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan's method of increasing strength with relatively weak side effects, the Xutian Divine Demon Transformation.

This method is rather special and requires the help of the mysterious bloodline of the Xutian Demon Flame Tiger clan to be used.

Moreover, as long as normal times occur, they can rely on the clan's incomparably mysterious Xutian Demon Flame as a source and condense a special Xutian God and Demon Crystal Core in their bodies. They can then use this external force to enhance their strength when performing their duties.

There is little impact on the body afterwards.

next moment.

The aura of the Void Tiger Demon suddenly soared, and in the end, it even had the power of 80% to 90% of the Divine Transformation. This also made the means it used stronger.

Relying on the magical power of the Tiangang Star-Slaying Spear that was transformed from the Tiangang Pearl, under the bombardment of a large amount of black thunder, it has gradually shaken Ling Pengyun's Five Elements Planet Shield.

The torrent of sword light created by his two sets of quasi-fifth-level flying swords was able to compete with the other two thunderclouds that Ling Pengyun had summoned earlier.

Relying on the other attacking spirit-transforming Zixu Tianmo Fan in his hand, he could transform it into a sea of ​​fire, and it could even suppress Ling Pengyun's innate spiritual treasure, the Five Elements River of Treasures.

The situation here suddenly changed.

But the old demon Xu Ming knew very well that his strength was obtained through the method of improving strength, so he did not dare to delay and planned to use all means.

He is also good at physical training, and his strength in this area is extraordinary.

He quickly took advantage of the gap when the surrounding attacks were blocked and rushed to the outside of the barren mountain where Ling Pengyun and others were, and began to bombard Ling Pengyun's Five Elements Planet Shield with his physical body.

In this way, even if this defensive method is extraordinary, it is difficult to withstand the simultaneous bombardment of the Xuming Tiger Demon's physical body and the Tiangang Zhuxing Spear of the incarnation level.

It suddenly shook violently, and even cracks appeared on the surface.

"Very good, very good!"

When the Xuming Tiger Demon saw this, his heart was filled with joy.

But it was not satisfied. When it saw the nine-headed Nascent Soul fellow that followed it and was foolishly just using magic treasures or spells to fight the enemy from a distance, it suddenly became angry.

Then, it began to curse at its fellow tribesmen.

"You bunch of idiots, why don't you take this opportunity to escape with me to the barren mountain? While activating your spiritual treasures and magic to fight the enemy, you can use your physical strength to bombard the various defensive means of this barren mountain."

"If we fail to kill Ling Pengyun this time, you will be punished when the God-Transforming Ancestor punishes you."

The nine-headed Nascent Soul Void Sky Demon Flame Tiger shuddered when he heard this.

They knew their ancestors' methods very well. Once they angered them, they were afraid that they would be killed directly. It was even possible that their descendants who were closely related to them would be killed at the same time...

Immediately, this group of Nascent Soul Demon Kings did as they were told and honestly escaped to the vicinity of the barren mountain, using their remaining strength to mobilize their physical strength to bombard the defensive means there.

This also exacerbated the collapse of the defensive measures of Ling Pengyun, Great Elder Xing Qing and others.

'That Void Tiger Demon that possesses two spiritual treasures of the spirit transformation foundation is really difficult to deal with.'

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun frowned immediately.

At this moment, Great Elder Xing Qing realized that something was not right, so he decided to fight to the death and use some methods to increase his strength.

But he was stopped by Ling Pengyun.

"Uncle Xingqing, the injuries you suffered during the chaos in the immortal cultivation world in the Boundless Sea have not yet healed, and these injuries are related to your soul and meridians. If you use the method to enhance your strength, I am afraid that it will only aggravate those injuries."

"Leave the current crisis to me."

Ling Pengyun said with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing felt relieved.

After all, Ling Pengyun is extremely powerful.

Then he asked with some curiosity.

"Pengyun, do you have any other cards?"

Ling Pengyun smiled and said simply.

"He doesn't have any trump cards, but his meridians, spiritual consciousness, and physical body... are all stronger than those of ordinary cultivators. There is no big harm in continuously performing multiple methods to enhance strength in a short period of time."

Great Elder Xing Qing was slightly stunned.

Then, he saw Ling Pengyun's aura surging, even reaching 99% of the power of a spirit.

"This……"

Great Elder Xing Qing was suddenly speechless and couldn't help but feel that this was indeed a bit too simplistic and violent.

And this moment.

After Ling Pengyun's strength increased, he immediately made a hand gesture and performed the Jiaoyang Thunder Cloud Technique again.

As a result, there were as many as four thunderclouds in the sky of the barren mountain.

"combine!"

The four thunderclouds suddenly converged and transformed into a large five-element thundercloud with an even more powerful aura.

The speed at which it struck down the black thunder was extremely slow compared to before, and it could only strike out one at a time.

But the power of this mysterious thunder was extremely extraordinary. With just one strike, it shattered the sword light torrents that formed from the two flying swords of the Nascent Soul Perfection Xu Ming Tiger. Even the flying sword was turned into fragments and disappeared.

Moreover, the black thunder still retained 70% to 80% of its power, and directly bombarded the Tiangang Star-Slaying Spear that was transformed from the Tiangang Pearl.

Although the power of the two methods had reached the level of transformation, the black thunder was stronger. In addition, the Tiangang Star-Slaying Spear had consumed a lot of energy due to the previous events, so it was quickly shattered.

In the end, Xuan Lei, with only 20% to 30% of his strength left, blasted towards the Xu Ming Tiger Monster that was bombarding the Five Elements Planet Shield with its physical body.

The Xu Ming tiger demon's hair stood on end, and he quickly urged the thirty-six souls in front of him to switch to a defensive posture, forming a powerful defensive light curtain.

Although this move blocked the terrifying thunder, it also suffered some damage.

"This move is really terrifying. Fortunately, I have many tricks. Otherwise, I am afraid I would be defeated this time."

The Xuming Tiger Demon was still frightened.

……

at the same time.

The top of the barren mountain.

Ling Pengyun relied on the technique of the big thunder cloud to transform into an extraordinary divine thunder, although it consumed all his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.

It even caused the sea of ​​consciousness and meridians... to feel constant pain.

But it didn't get to the point of being injured.

He still intended to continue the fight, but his spiritual awareness and spiritual power were completely exhausted, which was a fatal flaw.

The remaining soul-restoring pills he had were of relatively low quality, and it was difficult to provide enough spiritual awareness and spiritual power in a short period of time.

For this reason, he spoke to the Great Elder Xingqing who had a look of surprise on his face.

"Uncle Master, do you have a quasi-fifth-level Huilingbao Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xing Qing naturally guessed what he was thinking and spoke immediately.

"Have!"

Then he threw the only three Star Sea Tianyuan Pills he had left to Ling Pengyun.

"Pengyun, can you handle it? If not, forget it. Anyway, the situation is not bad now. With our strength, we can barely hold off the old demon Xu Ming and others." (End of this chapter)
