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

Chapter 170, Section 169: Inside the Giant Serpent, the Blood Amber Fate
Li Chunfeng immediately instructed Mosquito Taoist to hide even deeper.

This giant serpent possessed an extremely powerful aura. In Li Chunfeng's perception, it seemed to be the embodiment of the rules of the entire world, completely integrated with this small world.

To oppose it is to oppose this world.

But for some reason, it suddenly turned around at this moment and showed strong hostility towards Taiyi.

It must be looking to hunt.

Not long after he appeared, he became prey again, being targeted by these mysterious men in black.

The timely appearance of this group of men in black makes it hard not to speculate.

Li Chunfeng could do nothing but pray that they would make an even bigger commotion.

The louder the noise, the less attention it will receive—an inconspicuous bloodsucking mosquito lurking in the corner.

There were eight men in black, each occupying a position corresponding to one of the eight trigrams.

Relying on that divine chain treasure that reaches to the heavens and the earth, they formed a magnificent array.

This grand formation seems to have been specifically prepared for this giant serpent.

Bound by the divine chains, each struggle of the giant serpent initially increased the backlash from heaven and earth against the man in black, making his movements extremely difficult.

But as time went on, the giant serpent was gradually separating from this world, and with each struggle it made, the commotion it caused to this world became smaller and smaller.

"Do not--"

The giant snake roared angrily.

the other side.

When Lu Yun'er arrived at Fish Dragon Island, she had access to the island's array formations, and with all restrictions lifted, she could easily enter.

Upon arriving at Feiyu Pavilion, they saw Taiyi squatting on the ground, listlessly eating dragon scale fruit.

"Sister Deer, you've arrived."

Where is your husband?

"Master is still in seclusion. Wenwen is trapped in that small world and hasn't come out yet. Master is trying to find a way to rescue Wenwen right now."

Wenwen is Mosquito Taoist.

"Ah. Is Wenwen still in there...? What happened?" Like everyone else, she was completely confused.

When asked about this, Taiyi immediately looked dejected. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have recklessly absorbed the life force of the green wood from that world to practice my skills. The commotion was too great, and as a result, I woke up a sleeping old monster. It almost scared me to death. I could feel that the big snake wanted to eat the fish. Master was in such a hurry to take me away that he didn't have time to bring Wenwen out."

Lu Yun'er blinked. "What old monster?"

"It's an old monster, a huge serpent. That entire mountain range is actually its incarnation. With a slight turn, it completely overturned the world. It's terrifying. It wanted to eat me."

Taiyi was terrified this time, and his words became somewhat incoherent.

Who would have thought that just by going out for a short while, eating spirit wood and humming a song, an old monster would suddenly appear, ready to devour you alive?

As someone directly involved, Taiichi's feelings were incredibly profound.

He's still a child.

That malice that seeped from the very core of his being was all too obvious to someone of his true dragon bloodline.

Lu Yun'er sensed his fear and touched his dragon horns, comforting him, "Don't worry, it's alright now. The Dean and the others have already taken action; the old monster is definitely doomed."

"Yeah, we're definitely doomed."

……

In the Shennong Medicinal Herb Field Secret Realm.

The giant serpent was beyond furious.

Unable to escape in the sky, it turned and burrowed into the earth.

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and a huge crack extended outwards. This action was indeed effective, as it propelled the powerful divine chains into the underground fissure.

"Moo! You think you can trap me? You foolish insects, today I, the god, will use you as a sacrifice to vent my anger!" A naked, grotesque shadow appeared above the serpent's head, its bones protruding from its body, its eyes blazing like fire, and its entire body shrouded in black smoke—it was the manifestation of its primordial spirit.

Li Chunfeng had no idea what this giant serpent, which claimed to be a god, actually was.

But now he's in trouble.

The giant serpent opened its mouth wide, and a powerful devouring force surged forth around it, like a black hole. All living things, whether spirit wood, demon spirit, or anything else, were drawn in by an irresistible force and fell into its maw.

The little blood-sucking mosquito thought it would escape unscathed, but unexpectedly, it was also drawn by that irresistible force and flew into the giant mouth.

"Oops!"

This is the power of rules.

It is definitely not something that tiny blood-sucking mosquitoes can contend with.

The only ones still able to contend with the giant snake were the eight black-clad figures exuding an abyssal aura.

The leader, dressed in black, remained calm and composed. He hurled a black banner into the air, from which thousands of black wisps spewed forth, pulverizing all the lives about to fall into the giant serpent's jaws. Even the thick-skinned, fleshy beasts of this realm, like the wooden rhinoceros, couldn't withstand a single blow and were all slaughtered.

"As expected of the ancient serpent that masters the laws of life, it has refined the laws of life of the entire world into itself, merging with this world. But you awoke prematurely this time, relying on the laws of life to heal your injuries, yet you haven't fully recovered from your Dao injuries, and you can barely unleash 30% of your full strength. Now you want to devour the lives of other beings to restore your essence?"

"Don't even dream about it. I won't let you succeed."

"Just surrender obediently and join us. It might not be a bad thing for you. The Evil God will give you a greater opportunity."

"The evil god is all-powerful; even the opportunity to become a true dragon may not be impossible."

Enraged, the ancient serpent roared, "Do you think your grandfather is a three-hundred-year-old child? You inhuman, ghostly insect, die!"

Its enormous tail ripped through the sky as it rampaged wildly.

A fierce serpentine tail whipped through the space, turning the man in black into a cloud of black mist.

The great formation immediately showed signs of instability when one side was no longer supporting it.

But the men in black remained calm and continued to maintain their own chains.

After a while, the man in black who had been ripped apart by the giant snake's tail reappeared completely unharmed.

"It's no use. We are immortal and indestructible. Just come with us and you'll be spared the pain of flesh and blood."

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Mosquito Taoist navigated precariously amidst wisps of black mist and tremors in the void.

Several times they were almost swept into the black mist.

As he got closer to the giant snake, Li Chunfeng used his "Mind's Eye" detection technique to strike the snake.

[Longshe Guchen, an ancient serpent, once refined a dragon soul, attempting to transform into a true dragon. He suffered severe injuries from the Dragon Transformation Tribulation and nearly died. He escaped into this small world to recuperate, silently refining the life laws of this realm, transforming himself into the rules and regulations of this world.]

Li Chunfeng seemed thoughtful upon seeing this information.

Could it be that it was Taiyi's bloodline that awakened this sleeping behemoth?
However, since it was able to withstand the Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation without dying, it must at least be a Tribulation Law Realm being.

That is, a seventh-order demon saint.

Then the gaze swept towards the black-clad men who dominated the area.

[Qian Ling: An abyssal demon spirit belonging to the Serpent Immortal. In his previous life, he was a human Nascent Soul True Monarch, but was refined into an abyssal demon spirit by the Serpent Immortal. He is immortal and indestructible, and cannot enter the abyssal tribulation.]

Besides Qianling, there are also Disha, Fengxun, Leizhen, Mingli, Xikan, Lize, and Jianshan, etc.

In their previous lives, they were all Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but they were all refined into Abyss Demon Spirits by the Snake Immortal.

Li Chunfeng's heart skipped a beat.

He saw something.

Wasn't it said that the highest level in this small world could only accommodate five-level beings?

The dragon and snake are able to remain unaffected because they have refined the life laws of this world, which is understandable.

But these abyssal demons are all at the sixth-order Nascent Soul stage.

"Why do I always encounter such bad luck every time I enter a small world? Could it be that if I use up my Qi, there will really be a backlash of bad luck?"

Despite his inner complaints, he was quickly considering a way to escape. Given that both sides were at least at the Nascent Soul stage, even though the chances were slim, he couldn't give up.

He used every available means: nothingness, walking in the void, stealth, shadow mosquito armor, thunder and fire true energy, and myriad clones.

But it gets hurt if it's even brushed against by that black aura, and it shatters if it's touched, which is very discouraging.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng and Mosquito Taoist had just achieved a state of spiritual union, and the "Endless Life" technique saved Mosquito Taoist's life.

He realized that the outside world was already extremely dangerous; this battle, exceeding the limits of what this world could withstand, had shattered even the void itself. Escaping using void-遁术 (a technique to escape through the void) was no longer a realistic possibility.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao of this realm also unleashed heavenly lightning as punishment, with countless bolts of purple divine lightning covering the area. The slightest carelessness could result in complete annihilation.

He gritted his teeth and charged headlong into the snake's belly.

"boom!"

The black energy blockade was too dense. She used all her strength to bypass the interconnected black energy network, but was still ultimately struck by a thick tail of black energy.

The whole thing was blasted apart.

Even though she remained in a state of nothingness, she was swept away and shattered.

There is no way to fight back.

When the Mosquito Taoist's body was swept away, it immediately transformed into thousands of tiny mosquitoes, rushing in all directions.

Most of these clones were shattered by the black energy, but one of them risked entering the constantly shaking void, piercing through the dense spatial rifts, and after traveling a distance through the void, successfully entered the giant serpent's maw.

The serpent's belly was incredibly wide, completely a chaotic space.

As soon as Mosquito Daoist entered the giant snake's belly, an incredibly powerful force of law enveloped her, attempting to refine and devour her, just like the other demon spirits swallowed by the giant snake, turning her into essence to replenish the snake's energy.

Li Chunfeng and Mosquito Taoist were naturally fighting back desperately.

At this point, relying solely on Mosquito Taoist is clearly not enough; her bloodline is ultimately too low.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng's Earth-rank spell 'Endless Life' constantly supported the situation. In his inner world, green runes representing endless life kept flashing, and his soul power was being rapidly consumed like flowing water.

Time and again, it repaired the Mosquito Taoist's injuries.

Mosquito Taoist just kept rushing in headfirst.

Halfway there, Li Chunfeng suddenly sensed a tremor in the Mosquito Taoist's soul, "Blood, blood sucking!"

"My dear young lady, you're still thinking about sucking blood at a time like this."

Mosquito Taoist was extremely excited, constantly sending blood-sucking messages to Li Chunfeng, "Master, it's delicious, sweet, tasty, top-quality, superb, invincible..."

It seemed she wanted to throw out all the new words she had learned at once.

Li Chunfeng also became curious, thinking to himself, "Since we're already inside, it doesn't matter where we fly."

Following the direction of the Mosquito Taoist's senses, it quickly flew in that direction.

outside world.

The Abyss Demons were also worried that if the time dragged on too long, Kunlun would break in.

Immediately accelerate the activation of the formation, and the divine chains begin to contract and refine.

The giant snake was in pain, and even the devouring power in its belly decreased slightly, giving Mosquito Taoist a chance to catch his breath.

"Start the formation!"

At Qian Ling's command, the remaining black-clad demon spirits each summoned a black banner—a set of Xuan Yin Banners—and together they set up the Xuan Yin Soul Refining Array. Activated by their combined magical artifacts, its power rivaled that of an eighth-tier array.

Clusters of dark clouds rose up from all directions. The giant serpent was enveloped by the dark clouds, and its entire body immediately began to melt.

It writhed violently in pain, but could not break free of the divine chains binding it. "You bunch of bastards! Didn't you say you wanted to recruit me? Now you actually want to refine me!"

Qian Ling was clearly their leader, his hands moving non-stop. "You're willing to come with us?"

"Hiss! I, the God of Heaven, swear I will never be a slave!" Dragon-Snake Ancient Chen roared angrily.

In the Earthly Realm, the greatest offensive power comes not from sword techniques, spells, magical treasures, or flying swords, but from formations.

However, even powerful formations are far more difficult to set up than cultivating the most advanced spells. Setting up a high-level formation, especially one that can be carried around and deployed at will, without needing to be stationed in one place and easily moved, requires an outrageously high level of magical artifacts, materials, techniques, cultivation level, and knowledge.

And top-tier demonic arrays like the Profound Yin Soul Refining Array, once mastered, can withstand millions of attacks with a single array – it's no myth!
Even though the giant serpent had the fortuitous opportunity to refine the dragon soul and the law of life, thus becoming a special life form, it still suffered repeated defeats against the terrifying array set up by eight abyssal demons, along with the divine chains and the Xuan Yin Banner.

The balance is being broken.

On the other side, inside the snake's belly.

Li Chunfeng and Mosquito Daoist immediately felt the devouring force greatly weaken, knowing that the giant snake outside must be at a disadvantage.

Mosquito Taoist immediately sped up and flew headlong toward the place he sensed.

Along the way, we saw countless enormous, menacing organs.

Wherever it passed, the snake exuded a rich life force that nearly made the mosquitoes dizzy.

The idea of ​​breaking through the snake's belly to escape is simply impossible.

Even if a mosquito bites for a hundred years, it might not be able to break through the internal organs of such a rich life force.

Finally, after passing through countless blood vessels like mountain torrents and skimming through forests of bones, they arrived at an unprecedented jungle of flesh and blood.

"Roar!"

Just then, an enormous, blood-red soul shadow appeared inside the giant snake, enveloping Mosquito Daoist with a terrifying aura.

Protect the Dragon Soul!

Yes, this giant snake refined a dragon soul.

The 'Guardian Dragon Soul' is not the true dragon soul that the great serpent refined; it is merely a protective spell attached to the dragon soul.

If Li Chunfeng and Randeng were here, they might be able to fight this 'Guardian Dragon Soul', but now only Mosquito Daoist was there, and he was dumbfounded. He turned around and ran away frantically.

As soon as the dragon soul opened its mouth, Mosquito Taoist began to vomit blood.

Li Chunfeng's soul power began to be consumed rapidly again, yet it was also constantly being replenished, allowing Mosquito Daoist's injuries to heal quickly.

So the Mosquito Taoist could only scream and frantically flee.

Occasionally, they would retaliate, using Shadow Flash and Blood God's Soul Weapon, but to no avail.

Bumping around aimlessly like a headless fly, the blood-red 'Guardian Dragon Soul' relentlessly pursued him from behind.

When there is no other way out.

Mosquito Taoist seemed to have suddenly pierced through a thin membrane, plunging headfirst into a strange place.

A vast pool of blood, as black as amber, sits nestled among towering green trees.

The 'Guardian Dragon Soul' chased here, but did not enter; it only roared incessantly outside the thin membrane.

"Huh, what kind of organ is this?"

Li Chunfeng was still trying to explain.

These trees are not real trees, but manifestations of the laws of life. But the amber-like pool of blood in the very center is clearly not an ordinary organ either.

This must be the core area of ​​the giant serpent.

Otherwise, there would be no ban on 'Guardian Dragon Soul'.

But now a mosquito has managed to sneak in.

"Guru Guru~"

While Li Chunfeng was still deliberating, Mosquito Taoist had already plunged in and was happily drinking.

Li Chunfeng, fearing something amiss with these blood pools, used his 'mind's eye' to investigate.

[Blood Pool: Blood amber formed from fragments of the laws of life, drawn from the blood of all living beings!]

Conceal your sharpness, hide your ambition, restrain your desires, reflect on yourself, seek truth, be cautious in your speech, moderate your emotions, and strive for goodness. Concealing your sharpness makes you invincible, hiding your ambition protects you, reflecting on yourself brings self-knowledge, restraining desires prevents you from being burdened, seeking truth eliminates unnecessary burdens, being cautious in your speech prevents confusion, moderateing your emotions reduces sorrow, and striving for goodness corrects your character.
