Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 163: The Lonely King (Please Subscribe to the Full Chapter!)

A giant monster from the abyss has been unleashed.

In Gantz, every contestant huddled in every corner was casting their gazes in the eye.

From the ground in the southeast corner, a giant metallic scorpion emerged. This demon was none other than the Titan Scorpion, ranked third on the leaderboard. Its weapons of choice were metallic lifeforms, annihilation beams, and gravity blasts. Its ultimate survival skill lay in its ability to burrow underground.

A chilling gaze emanated from its enormous metallic eyes as it looked up at the sky.

As it emerged, the giant monster in the sky happened to turn its head, as if glancing at it, which immediately sent chills down the spine of the giant scorpion, which flicked its tail and burrowed back into the ground.

On the other side, the second-ranked Death Knight of the Abyss, with its soul fire blazing in its pupils, stared directly into the giant's eyes as the giant turned its head. Its soul fire flickered violently, carrying an arrogant provocation.

The Zerg, ranked fourth, are even more formidable.

It is the Chaos Tribulation Soul-Splitting Insect Monster, a terrifying three-headed monster originating from a chaotic rift. Its body contains a high concentration of chaotic radiation energy, making it incredibly vast and deadly. Its unique chaotic ion burst light waves, along with its tearing pincers and spiraling tentacles, can rapidly destroy and disintegrate its opponents.

Moreover, it has an extremely strong ability to hide. Any opponent that encounters it is killed by a sneak attack without any reason, and some are even powerless to fight back.

However, this monstrous insect is somewhat lacking in mobility, often failing to catch up with its enemies, thus ranking fourth in terms of the number of kills it causes. But in terms of true strength, probably no opponent would want to encounter this strange insect.

The fifth-ranked member of the Soul Clan is the Hellfire Demon Monk.

It is a fanatical Asura monk from the Bloodfire Hell, whose entire body, mind, and soul are consumed by the fervor of blood-red karmic fire, making it the most terrifying punisher in the Bloodfire Hell.

But when the executioner saw the abyssal behemoth, it seemed as if it had seen its natural enemy, and its soul fire dimmed considerably.

The abyssal monster merely turned its head and glanced around, yet all the creatures in the city believed that the monster was looking at them.

But in the end, it abandoned all the other contestants and resolutely flew straight towards the largest and thickest crimson pillar of light.

Many creatures secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this scene.

They immediately understood that the giant monster had gone in the direction of the terrifying human race.

At this moment, whether you're gloating or watching the fight unfold, it doesn't matter.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome of the battle.

Han Fan also watched silently from the other side, hoping that Li Chunfeng could win, but also not really hoping that he could win.

If Li Chunfeng were to fail and die, he might still have a chance to retrieve his magical flying sword. As for the leaked sect techniques, since they are with a dead man, no one will know them, so it wouldn't count as a leak.

Li Chunfeng stood tall, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes indifferent.

To be on the safe side, he will naturally go all out in this battle.

"Transform!"

In an instant, it merged with the lamp to form a demonic entity.

The Soul-Devouring Fang Armor covered his body, "Heavenly Rank - Phantom Clone!"

It's only a little over three million strands of soul power.

With the current reserves of soul power, Randeng will not be completely depleted when he uses it, unlike before.

It can even extend the life of the clone for a period of time, allowing it to fight for longer.

In an instant, the sky darkened.

All living beings in the city witnessed an unbelievable scene, and were so shocked that they were speechless.

Previously, I thought that the 100,000 lantern ghost clones were the limit for that human.

It turns out that the terrifying guy had never revealed his true strength.

"So, he was just letting the game slide all along?"

At this moment, countless beings will remember the place called Three Realms Abyss City.

They were so densely packed that they blotted out the sky, resembling a locust plague.

There is simply no way to count them.

If it were a baby octopus, it might have tried to escape.

Yet the Abyss Stitching Giant felt no fear whatsoever, letting out a roar beyond description that shattered the dark clouds in the sky. Facing its overwhelming horde of clones, it charged forward without hesitation.

Without any probing, the two sides immediately engaged in a life-or-death duel.

Li Chunfeng's first move was to unleash 100,000 clones, each slashing out with a 'Shattering Void Blade,' which descended simultaneously, shattering the void itself.

With the blessing of the true intent of slaughter, the attack also carried "true damage". The black membrane around the Abyss Stitching Giant only lasted for a moment before it shattered instantly, and its skin and flesh separated.

It was as if a bloody storm was sweeping across the land.

With just this one strike, the giant was shattered into pieces.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, it was still rapidly recovering at a visible pace. Only its soul fire was mostly destroyed.

Li Chunfeng had fought against the abyssal monsters and had long experienced their incredible regenerative abilities, which defied conventional logic.

They won't be given any time to recover.

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of clones rushed forward in a 'blink' manner, using Soul Fireballs and self-destruction.

"Boom~"

A mushroom cloud, stretching for tens of kilometers, rose into the sky, completely dispelling the dark clouds.

Below the mushroom cloud, the abyssal behemoth was still alive, but its enormous form had disintegrated into countless small fleshy tumors.

Some of the tumors fell into the clones, immediately spreading blood threads like a net, wiping out all the surrounding clones.

The clone that was caught in the net had its soul power completely absorbed in an instant, turning into green smoke and dissipating into the air.

Meanwhile, the scattered tumors on the ground were rapidly absorbing the abyss's energy and growing stronger.

"What a brilliant move, a feat of escaping like a cicada shedding its skin and splitting into countless forms!"

"Soul Eater!"

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and inhaled, and the phantom of the Soul-Devouring Beast appeared behind him.

The powerful devouring force completely absorbed each and every fragment of the soul. From the perspective of the Nine Nether Demon Eye, not a single fragment of the soul could escape.

Only after the last lump of flesh completely died did Li Chunfeng's killing intent increase significantly once again.

Unfortunately, he still failed to advance to the Heavenly Rank.

The giant's soul was devoured, and there was no time to refine it, so it could only be temporarily stored in the body of the Burning Lamp.

Judging from the Abyss Soul, this Frankenstein monster is stronger than the baby octopus, but not by much.

It's a top-tier first-order monster, but not quite a second-order behemoth.

He also casually placed a first-tier abyss crystal core into his storage magic treasure.

As the last lumps of flesh withered, a chaotic crystal core, created under the rules of killing and plundering, emerged on top of it and floated in mid-air.

[The evil god's fragmented thought has been purified; refining it can enhance divine soul pressure! Time to dissipate: 600 breaths!]

This was the largest cluster of crystals he had ever encountered, and it took the longest to dissipate.

Li Chunfeng quickly refined the large cluster of crystal cores.

His divine soul pressure increased by nearly half a percent, and his perception in the Killing Secret Realm had reached beyond 52 zhang.

He was immersed in the joy of his increased strength, but most of the other creatures in the city were gripped by fear. The once invincible abyssal behemoth couldn't withstand a single attack and was blasted to pieces. Why would such a being remain on the first level of the Abyss alongside them?
That's practically cheating.

If these countless clones were to turn around and attack them, what would they use to defend themselves?

To go through tribulations alongside this human being and engage in a life-or-death struggle is truly their greatest misfortune.

The greatest enemy is not the monsters in the secret realm, but a human undergoing tribulation—how tragic.

Just then, another loud cry came from the depths of the clouds.

The giant octopus also made its move.

Under the dim sky, dark clouds gathered heavily, and the enormous Abyss Devourer stood a hundred feet tall, more than three times the size of the baby octopus they had encountered in the Green Forest.

Wherever it passed, buildings collapsed, and enormous tentacles cascaded down, intermittently piercing the earth to drag out hidden contestants, sucking them dry in the blink of an eye. With each life it devoured, the black smoke writhing on the octopus grew even thicker.

Seeing this situation, Li Chunfeng could not sit idly by and wait for his death.

The rules of the Killing Realm clearly also apply to this Abyss Octopus.

[Nine-Legged Abyss Shadow Octopus: Abyss Devourer, a Tier 2 Abyss Behemoth. Messenger of Darkness, Incarnation of Chaos. Devouring Advancement, Endless Regeneration, Sensory Deprivation, Evil God's Malevolence, Void Shadow, Chain Attack, Evil Spirit Contamination.]

Under the mind's eye detection, the octopus revealed some of its attributes.

Li Chunfeng felt an extremely powerful divine soul pressure, but it was still far inferior to the third-tier Soul-Slaying Prison Egg Abyss Giant Monster.

"Thankfully, it's not a Tier 3 giant."

This second-tier octopus monster didn't give him any sense of dread.

"We still have the strength to fight!"

If he cannot defeat them, he will try every means to delay time, escape, and even drag all other beings undergoing tribulation into the water.

But this time, he will take the initiative.

With a thought, an endless army of clones charged toward the giant octopus.

Wherever it went, all living things preferred to hide in the sewers rather than expose themselves to the clone's sight.

Along the way, there were also many mud-like monsters that rushed out of the fog in the city center.

The evil thoughts of an evil god.

It turns out these guys really are native monsters.

But under the army of clones, whether it was the evil gods and malevolent monsters of the Slaughtering Realm or the contestants undergoing tribulations across the heavens, they were all treated equally and blasted to pieces. Wherever they passed, death bloomed like roses.

The true meaning of slaughter is a perfect match for clones.

The killing intent of a single clone is not particularly lethal.

With a large number of attacks, the damage can explode instantly when all the attacks land at the same time.

Even when facing powerful enemies with exceptional defenses, and unable to break through their defenses for a time due to the limitations of the clone's strength, one can still directly attack their soul essence with the blessing of the true intent of slaughter, causing soul damage similar to "true damage" to the opponent.

This is also the source of Li Chunfeng's confidence in facing the powerful second-tier abyssal behemoth.

"Ang~"

The octopus let out a roar like a bull.

It spat out a mouthful of thick ink, turning the sky black.

Surrounded by black mist, all five senses are lost.

Even their spiritual perception was further suppressed to an extremely low level.

Octopuses, however, thrive in the inky environment, swimming freely and gracefully.

But Li Chunfeng had anticipated this move from the octopus. His 'Nine Netherworld Demon Eyes' and 'Soul Perception' had already locked onto the opponent's soul trajectory.

This octopus did not release any Nether Ravens, indicating that 'Nether Raven Manipulation' is not a unique talent skill possessed by all Abyssal Shadow Octopuses.

There may be other methods, so we should not be careless.

"kill!"

To show respect for the abyssal octopus, Li Chunfeng waved his hand, and 100,000 clones shot into the thick ink like arrows.

'Shattering Void Blade!'

The first wave of attacks caused the abyssal octopus to let out a howl, but it did not seem to cause any real damage.

Its enormous body continued to charge wildly.

Nine tentacles could easily wipe out one clone after another.

However, 1.08 million clones were simply too many. Just as one area was cleared, even more clones filled the gaps, unleashing wave after wave of attacks upon it.

The second-tier octopus monster possesses immense destructive power; those towering buildings have already been nearly destroyed. If urban demolition teams could match its speed, what place couldn't be razed to the ground?
Li Chunfeng's million-strong army of clones launched various attacks relentlessly.

The situation has become completely one-sided.

Even if the killing intent of a high-grade Earth rank is only enough to cause one percent damage to the giant's soul, this round of attacks is enough to cripple it.

In other words, the Abyss Giant is very resilient.

It possesses extraordinary vitality, remarkable regeneration capabilities, and a black, misty skin that provides exceptional defense against the Shattering Void Blades.

In particular, the 'Endless Life' skill is life-saving. No matter how serious the injury, a swirling black mist around the body will almost completely restore the body to full health.

I remember back in Tier 1, this healing spell was called 'limb regeneration'.

It is completely incomparable to the current 'continuous life'.

However, every spell has its limits.

The limit of 'continuous life' is about to be broken.

As the fight progressed, Li Chunfeng also noticed.

This abyssal octopus is also a bit abnormal. If it were a normal abyssal behemoth, it would run away if it couldn't win.

Given the spatial escape ability of the abyss behemoth, Li Chunfeng would have no way to stop it if it wanted to leave.

But this is a killing zone, controlled by the thoughts of an evil god. This abyssal monster cannot escape. Its mission is to kill any creature with a red glow on its body.

"They actually managed to be forced into such a sorry state!"

The giant is quite intelligent and has a wealth of combat experience.

Realizing he might be outmatched, he unleashed a terrifying attack without hesitation.

"Corrupted by an evil god!"

As the octopus spewed out another thick fog, a dark green glow, invisible to the naked eye, silently spread outwards from the surrounding panel houses along with the black fog.

The clones that got too close immediately sprouted tentacles, and their bodies began to mutate.

Vast numbers of clones appeared, undergoing various strange changes without warning, and even began to break out of control, killing each other.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand... fifty thousand, sixty thousand...

Once contaminated, these clones immediately break free of Li Chunfeng's control and quickly spread to the next clone.

Seeing that the area was about to expand, Li Chunfeng immediately manipulated his nearby clones to 'blink' closer.

With a loud bang, it 'self-destructed'.

In an instant, the sky was filled with bursts of soul fire, like fireworks blooming, a unique and beautiful sight.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate it.

Before he knew it, Li Chunfeng was caught off guard by the octopus's sudden attack, which destroyed tens of thousands of his clones, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.

However, something even more dangerous was yet to come. These evil gods corrupted the thoughts of the clones and spread all the way to the original body.

A chill ran through me.

In the small inner world, the heart lamp shone brightly, and the Bodhi soul tree swayed.

"Zizzizi~"

The clash of souls caused a foul stench to emanate from the surrounding area.

Within the small inner world, the water of the Heavenly Pool also began to tremble violently.

Countless strands of soul power were invaded by the dark green polluted light, silently blooming and then dissipating.

Fortunately, a dazzling, nebula-like soul garment covered the divine embryo, perfectly offsetting all the shocks.

This process may seem long, but it is actually a battle of wits, decided in a single thought.

In the end, Li Chunfeng managed to carry it out.

He also directed his clones to move further away from the giant's black mist to avoid being affected again.

The attacks only consist of blinking and self-destruction.

"A series of attacks."

After clearing the area, the octopus seized the opportunity to transform itself into a whirlwind, its nine enormous tentacles spinning wildly and lashing out repeatedly.

Wherever it went, all obstacles were reduced to dust.

Its enormous body, carrying terrifying force, headed straight for Li Chunfeng's main body.

In the corner, whether it was the metallic Titan Scorpion, the Chaos Three Calamities Soul-Splittering Insects, or the Death Knight of the Abyss, the Hellfire Demon Monk, Han Fan, and other beings, all had extremely solemn expressions.

In this situation, it's best not to have any thoughts of getting a bargain.

Regardless of who wins in the end, both sides just hope that the battle can last a little longer, preferably through the remaining hours.

Li Chunfeng repeatedly changed positions, but the attack continued in an orderly manner, with his clones carrying out suicidal attack tactics in a tight and efficient manner.

He simply stuffed pills into his mouth, and the speed at which he refined and restored his soul power increased slightly without realizing it.

The 'revival' property of the Black Lotus Divine Embryo was also maximized. The divine sense actively gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and in a single breath, a large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into the body, greatly increasing the recovery ability.

The divine power that had been consumed was also rapidly recovering.

If possible, he would love to cultivate on the spot and recover his condition as soon as possible.

He is prepared for a protracted war.

But in his heart he was thinking, "After I go back this time, I must put more effort into the art of clone formations."

The Abyss Octopus's frenzied attack did indeed pose a huge threat to Li Chunfeng, destroying more than 700,000 of his clones.

However, it lacked follow-up momentum.

Half an hour later, after a round of violent bombardment.

The mad octopus finally stopped; it had been blasted to pieces, its entire body engulfed in flames of its soul.

If it had its own emotions, it would surely be crying in pain right now.

Having fought to this point, it has every reason to be proud.

They managed to destroy most of Li Chunfeng's million clones.

The remaining half of the clones is actually outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Both the soul power attached to the clone and Li Chunfeng's main body had run out of soul power.

The second-tier abyssal behemoth is terrifying beyond belief.

"I'm tired, it's time to end this!"

"Self-destruct!"

With the final shockwave and explosion.

A massive mushroom cloud of soul fire reappeared, and this second-tier Abyss Devourer could not escape its fate of annihilation.

The remaining contestants in the city all gasped in unison. The one who had undergone tribulation had won, a result that seemed even harder to accept than the victory of the abyss monster.

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and inhaled, his eyes flashing red light, as a powerful and heavy abyssal soul was drawn in.

With a flick of his left hand, he collected all the shattered remains, limbs, and entrails of the giant monster.

That's all money.

In addition, there is a second-tier abyssal giant soul core, a second-tier abyssal crystal core, and a fragment of an evil god's consciousness crystal.

[The evil god's fragmented thought has been purified; refining it can enhance divine soul pressure! Time to dissipate: 800 breaths!]

Immediately afterwards, a powerful killing intent surged into his mind, and the killing intent runes were replenished, finally advancing to the lower rank of the Heavenly Realm.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Li Chunfeng's eyes instantly turned red, and a frenzied killing intent began to invade his mind within his inner world.

Taking advantage of his weakened state, the "True Meaning of Slaughter" began to backfire.

This is the price of bearing the force.

Li Chunfeng immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and silently recited a calming mantra.

Meanwhile, under the suppression of the Bodhi Soul Tree and the Heart Lamp, the Killing Intent caused him some trouble, but ultimately failed to break through a certain boundary. The Black Lotus Divine Embryo, also protected by the Nebula Soul Robe, remained safe and sound.

For the rest of the time, Li Chunfeng sat cross-legged in the center of the now-ruined battlefield, silently refining the fragments of the evil god's thoughts.

The pressure of his divine soul increased again, reaching fifty-eight zhang.

Outside, it is five thousand eight hundred feet wide.

It was completely beyond the range of a Divine Embryo Realm cultivator's spiritual perception.

As time passed, countless creatures outside the arena began to stir again, and the slaughter resumed. More and more creatures began to appear on the list.

But no matter how fiercely they fought, they all unanimously avoided that battlefield ruins.

Although Li Chunfeng's clones had all dissipated by this time, and were presumably trapped in a weakened forbidden zone, no one dared to spy on them.

Even the two fellow monsters, Fuze and Xiaowu, dared not pass by at this time.

As if by unspoken agreement, everyone was giving this lonely king space to lick his wounds.

[You have completed this Abyss Tribulation and are about to return. The evaluation of this tribulation will be calculated after you leave this world!]

"It's finally over, let's go back."

You're plagued by anxieties, too preoccupied with the past and too worried about the future. There's a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift; cherish today as you would a gift. —Kung Fu Panda
