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

Chapter 175, Section 174: Saving All Beings, the Dragon and the Serpent Die
Gritting his teeth, Mosquito Taoist flapped his wings and fled wildly downwards.

As soon as they escaped the Heavenly Net Formation, they heard a tremendous, unpleasant sound like countless porcelain pieces shattering. The all-out attack from the Spirit Race and Demon Race outside the crevice was already impatiently coming down. A wave of violent magic surged in, immediately shattering Gu Chen's giant snake tail and the black cloud of the demon core.

It had barely managed to repair some of its body before it began to collapse rapidly again.

If it's just physical harm, it's not worth mentioning.

Unfortunately, the Dao injury was difficult to heal. The Dao body that had been damaged by the previous tribulation of lightning could not be restored even after refining the laws of life and recuperating in the small world for countless years.

The damage to the Dao cannot be repaired by the mere essence of living beings.

Gu Chen encountered danger and attempted to use the same trick again, breaking through the void to escape.

But this time, it miscalculated. The entire space was exceptionally stable and secure, leaving no escape.

This is a middle-thousand world, a stable space, not some small secret realm that can be destroyed at will. Besides, it's now protected by the Heavenly Net Formation; how could it possibly escape so easily?

Countless beams of light crisscrossed above, pressing down relentlessly. Even Gu Chen's demon saint-level inner core couldn't protect it, and it was knocked back again.

Gu Chen was completely stunned. He knew that he had reached the most dangerous moment. In his long history of adventure, he had encountered many dangerous situations. He knew that he could not delay in this situation. The more he hesitated, the further away his chance of survival would be.

It responded immediately and decisively.

Despite the backlash, it suddenly unleashed the power of the laws of life.

Above the giant dragon-serpent's head, the naked, monstrous shadow reappeared, its bones protruding, its eyes blazing like fire, and its entire body shrouded in black smoke.

It was his primordial spirit that manifested.

But now that this primordial spirit has reappeared, it is in an extremely miserable state compared to when it appeared last time.

Not only was its power greatly reduced, but its primordial spirit was also firmly bound by an illusory chain. The chain contained endless lightning, flames, and ice, constantly refining its primordial spirit.

The Binding God Rope has been binding it for so long that the damage it has caused is no longer limited to its physical body, but is now directly affecting its primordial spirit.

Its primordial spirit is subjected to extreme torture at all times.

It had already made its mind somewhat confused.

"Life resonance, life connection."

Gu Chen unleashed a fierce burst of power despite the backlash.

A halo of light, like ripples, emerged, instantly encircling dozens of figures and forcibly establishing a connection with their lives, sharing their life power. The bodies of those dozens of powerful spirit and demon race members withered at a visible speed, completely transforming into life essence to replenish Gu Chen's consumption.

However, the divine rope binding Gu Chen's primordial spirit tightened even more, and its primordial spirit aura became increasingly weak.

The spirit and demon races that rushed in from the outside were so frightened by this scene that they retreated instantly and dared not rush into the black mist to attack Gu Chen's true form again.

Li Chunfeng, watching from deep within the crevice, was secretly astonished.

Is this the power of a demon saint who controls the laws of life? So difficult to kill, with such tenacious vitality!

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of power Gu Chen would have unleashed if he hadn't been injured and his primordial spirit hadn't been bound by the Binding God Rope from the beginning. Could those eight Abyss Demon Spirits really have trapped him? After all, once you reach a higher level, your realm is one level higher, and you can't be dealt with by ten or eight opponents one level lower.

With the pressure around Gu Chen greatly reduced, he immediately turned around and began to burrow back into the crevice.

The crevice beneath the earth was unfathomably deep; it could only hide for as long as possible. With this futile plan in mind, it deliberately burrowed even deeper.

Just then, two men in black suddenly appeared in a corner of the arena.

Suddenly, the magic weapon was activated.

Just as the dragon-snake Gu Chen was about to escape, it suddenly felt the binding rope tighten, interrupting its escape.

"Gu Chen, you have nowhere to escape this time. Only by accepting our master's kindness can you have a sliver of hope. You know this is your best choice. Life and death are entirely in your hands!" The alluring voice of the Abyss Demon Spirit entered Gu Chen's primordial spirit.

Li Chunfeng, who was in the corner, saw this scene and knew exactly what was going on.

The appearance of this group of abyssal demons, blocking the fleeing dragon and snake, must be their purpose to harvest the dragon's soul.

They didn't even want to do it themselves; they wanted to use the power of cultivators in this realm to kill the snake with a borrowed knife!
Perhaps feeling guilty, Li Chunfeng used all his stealth techniques after seeing the two Abyss Demons.

'Invisibility of the mind', 'Invisibility of breath', 'Void', 'Walking in the void', 'Psychic shield'... Even 'Mind control' is used on oneself, which can minimize the fluctuation of one's own thoughts and spirit.

"An elephant won't care about an ant on the road. As long as we don't get trampled to death by the unlucky one, we'll be fine."

Li Chunfeng comforted Mosquito Taoist in this way, and also comforted himself.

"Roar~!"

Gu Chen was furious.

The most vicious thing in the world is kicking someone when they're down.

"It's you wretched insects again! Even if I shatter this body, I will never let you succeed!"

Enduring the tightness of the binding ropes, it leaped up fearlessly and charged fiercely at the two figures. The abyssal demons, outnumbered and unable to form the Profound Yin Soul Refining Array, were no match for the dragon and serpent, and could only flee swiftly. Thus, in the chase, the earth's fissures crumbled and collapsed everywhere under the impact of the dragon and serpent's powerful bodies, like a shoddy construction project.

The dragon and serpent's unusual behavior also attracted the attention of the allied forces of the two races outside. Following their trail, they immediately discovered two figures that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. This dense abyssal aura was none other than the accomplices of the Abyssal Giant, the culprit that plunged the Spirit Realm into apocalypse.

The beings of this realm harbor even greater hatred for the demons of the abyss than for the dragon and serpent Gu Chen.

As the commander outside the formation unfurled the Heavenly Strategy Banner, the formation immediately extended, attempting to trap the two Abyss Demons within it as well.

The two abyssal demons unfurled the Xuan Yin Banner, unleashing countless streams of black energy, and calmly escaped before the great formation could cover them.

Li Chunfeng seemed to be deep in thought.

Dean Jiang Wei did say that the resurrection of a dead demon spirit is not without cost, and the more abyssal demon spirits that die, the longer the resurrection time will be.

It is unknown whether the other six abyssal demons have not yet been resurrected or have not yet arrived.

Originally, the dragon and snake had little chance of escaping.

It committed so many evil deeds along the way that anyone who saw it would hate it to the core.

The Spirit Realm's extermination team has gathered so many people just to take it down.

Now the dragon and snake can't escape even if they want to, and there are two more abyssal demons hindering them.

Then their chances of survival would be even slimmer.

Seeing this, Li Chunfeng thought to himself, "To die so easily, the price is far too low."

"In particular, we must not let the Abyss Demons succeed."

Li Chunfeng acted decisively, secretly using the Refining Treasure Technique to instantly take control of the Binding God Rope from the hidden restrictions of the magic treasure.

As Longshe Guchen fought back desperately, he suddenly felt the Binding God Rope that had been clinging to him like a leech... loosen, and even his somewhat dazed primordial spirit cleared up. Many details that he had not noticed before came back to mind one by one.

"This fluctuation is exactly the same frequency as the abnormal fluctuation on the Binding God Rope before."

It immediately understood that there must be a fourth force secretly controlling the Binding God Rope.

Regardless of who is secretly helping it, or who has other malicious intentions, it will seize this rare opportunity.

The binding rope loosened in just a few breaths, and that was enough time.

Once the dragon and snake broke free from the binding rope, the unlocking of their primordial spirits naturally vanished.

The divine soul's power surged, and his own primordial spirit merged with the dragon soul, transforming into a five-clawed azure dragon soul that appeared in the sky, roaring silently towards the heavens.

"hold head high--"

The dragon soul's oppressive aura instantly terrified all living beings in the arena.

Even the mosquito Taoist deep beneath the earth's fissures was not spared; he was instantly pressed against the wall by the powerful dragon's might, unable to move.

On Fish Dragon Island, Li Chunfeng was also greatly alarmed and quickly summoned Taiyi and Randeng to combine and transform into demons.

By relying on Taiyi's true dragon bloodline and Randeng's divine soul pressure, they can jointly resist the pressure of the true dragon's soul.

The two abyssal demons were utterly shocked. "The Binding God Rope has gone out of control! How is this possible?"

In a moment of distraction, the dragon soul unleashed a beam of Yi Wood Profound Light, which fell upon the black curtain of the Profound Yin Banner. The seemingly extremely powerful black curtain of the Profound Yin Banner was instantly pierced by the Profound Light, which landed directly on the two Abyss Demon Spirits.

They had an extra chain on their bodies.

'The Lock of Life!'

By using the power of laws, the life force of the target creature is sealed, and the target will never regain its life.

"Ah, what have you done, you beast!" Xi Kan Mo Ling roared, his voice fierce but his heart filled with fear.

The enormous vertical pupils of the dragon-snake-guchen revealed an undisguised, fierce killing intent.

The next instant, the dragon soul transformed into a beam of mysterious light and pounced.

It burst forth with an extremely dazzling brilliance.

'Salvation of all beings'!
This move is Gu Chen's trump card for survival. By burning his own life force, he enhances the power of his primordial spirit and releases a wide-ranging energy shock halo, causing indiscriminate and devastating damage to all life within the range.

As the aura of 'Salvation of All Beings' spread, the abyssal demons' jet-black, smoke-like bodies began to dissolve like snow. Their previous regenerative abilities could no longer provide protection this time.

With this life lock on his body, even the immortality of the abyssal demon spirit was locked away.

"Do not--"

Faced with death, the two demons let out terrified screams.

But that couldn't stop Gu Chen from fighting desperately.

Wherever the halo of 'Salvation of All Beings' passed, the allied forces of the Spirit Race and the Demon Race were all annihilated as if melting away like ice and snow.

The halo extended outwards, gradually thinning. Li Chunfeng and Mosquito Daoist, now united, witnessed this and desperately fled into the void, flying rapidly towards the depths of the crevice. However, the power of the halo's influence did not even spare the void itself.

Even though Mosquito Taoist was surrounded by heavy protection, his body still began to dissolve silently the moment he came into contact with the halo.

The next instant, 'Endless Life' was triggered, and the soul power of Li Chunfeng and his three natal demon pets instantly poured out.

Mosquito Taoist did not die immediately, but desperately fled to a greater distance until the power of the aura reached its limit.

"Om~"

Even so, Mosquito Taoist was passively triggered to create 'Myriad Transformations Clone'.

Tiny mosquitoes flew out from the corner.

They finally escaped.

Li Chunfeng was still shaken.

This wave of consumption nearly depleted the millions of soul power he possessed after merging with Randeng, Taiyi, and Mosquito Daoist, but it also managed to save Mosquito Daoist's life.

His face was pale, and he had a terrible headache, but he still endured the negative effects and devoured a large number of recovery pills. At the same time, the 'revival' characteristic of the divine embryo began to rapidly restore his soul power.

It took a long time before he recovered some of his soul power.

When the senses were extended again, it was suddenly discovered that the dragon and snake were displaying their power. A blue dragon soul was moving back and forth in the enemy's formation, like an unparalleled divine sword. Countless spirits and demons were torn in two, armor and all, and fell from the sky.

Longshe Guchen burned his own primordial spirit power to unleash a "Salvation of All Beings" attack, achieving a brilliant victory.

The two Abyss Demons whose lives were locked were directly annihilated... If Dean Jiang Wei knew that Abyss Demons had such a means of annihilation, he would probably be amazed.

The halo also purified many powerful members of the spirit and demon races.

It almost escaped, but ultimately failed and fell short.

The Spirit Realm's expedition team this time was indeed experienced. Although they suffered heavy losses under the 'Salvation of All Beings', they still managed to quickly regroup.

The commander is a prodigy of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, who have always been the absolute authority in the art of array formations.

After the aura's power completely dissipated, although the expeditionary force suffered heavy casualties, Tianji Bingce remained calm and composed. With a flick of his sleeve, more than ten experts flew out from the formation, preemptively intercepting Gu Chen's path. The two sides clashed, and with a barrage of hundreds of beams of light, the ferocious power of the dragon-snake Gu Chen was contained.

"You worthless scum, you dare to oppose this god? I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Gu Chen was constantly burning with life force, and its dragon soul was at its best at this moment. It spat out its demon core again, and in an instant, black energy soared into the sky and black clouds rolled in, spreading to an area of ​​dozens of acres in the blink of an eye, enveloping most of the expedition team members.

"Don't panic, everyone! Stick close to your nearest teammates, don't fight alone!"

The Heavenly Strategy issued several orders in succession, calmly commanding the battle formation.

Actually, he was extremely anxious.

The losses in this battle were too great. This ferocious foreign monster was far too unpredictable, even more difficult to deal with than a third-tier abyssal behemoth. They had extensive experience dealing with abyssal behemoths, yet none of them were as terrifying as this giant serpent.

"Heavenly Net and Earthly Net Shifting Thunder and Flame Formation!"

He quickly issued orders.

This land belongs to the Eastern Continent of the Spirit Realm. The continent is actually quite resource-poor, and there are not many high-level combatants.

However, the ritual has recently been attacked by abyssal monsters, and the apocalyptic scene is gradually manifesting. The Heavenly Dao of the world has also begun to save itself, and the fortune of the entire world has exploded. In recent years, many outstanding talents have been born in various parts of the world.

Tianji Bingce is the most renowned genius of the Tianji Spirit Clan.

The expeditionary force led by him relied heavily on its battle formations.

The Celestial Mystery Clan are all born masters of formations. Any formation, once in their hands, can unleash power far exceeding its rank.

Gu Chen, worthy of being a peerless ferocious demon who survived the tribulation of lightning, still managed to unleash the full power of the dragon soul even though his primordial spirit had just been freed and had been forcibly enhanced through this sacrifice and burning.

Its greatest opportunity in life was refining this dragon soul, which gave its primordial spirit the aid of the dragon soul and the possibility of transforming into a dragon.

The only thing missing to transform into a dragon is the bloodline of a true dragon.

This is why it was awakened when it smelled Taiyi's true dragon bloodline.

The dragon soul and the bloodline of the true dragon resonated with each other.

At this moment, once its primordial spirit transforms into a dragon soul, it becomes both offensive and defensive, comparable to a peerless high-level magic weapon.

The brilliance that burst forth from burning life was like a green dragon stirring up the sea, with a green dragon soul thousands of feet long protecting it from wind and rain.

Under the command of Tianji Bingce, the expeditionary force rotated its formation several times, and beams of lightning and flames, like red suns, slammed into the azure dragon soul, yet it did not budge in the slightest.

Tianji Bingce's expression turned cold, and suddenly his hands changed into hand seals, and a Bagua-like array pattern appeared between his eyebrows.

The Thunderfire War then took another turn.

This time it's the Spirit Gathering Divine Array, which can temporarily gather the power of all the formations in the battle formation onto himself. However, this move cannot be used for long or too often. If it's used for too long, it will cause him permanent damage.

It's enough to break through the current predicament.

As the power rapidly gathered, the Bagua array pattern between his brows began to glow brighter and brighter, and his primordial spirit became incomparably ethereal, like a sage of the Heavenly Dao, cold and selfless. A vast and powerful pressure emanated from his body, and a boulder beneath him was instantly reduced to dust by a wisp of the overflowing power.

"The time has come, decapitation!"

Suddenly, a series of hissing sounds filled the air as he transformed into a dazzling beam of light comparable to a sun explosion, fiercely piercing through the azure dragon soul.

Longshe Guchen was caught off guard by such a fierce enemy. He only had time to release his protective demonic light, but it was shattered by the fierce beam of light transformed from the Heavenly Secrets Strategy, which pierced through it like a hot knife through butter and stabbed hard into Longshe's head.

The leader of the Celestial Clan personally intervened, severely injuring the dragon-serpent. Not only was the dragon's soul nearly shattered, but its head was also pierced with a huge hole.

Gu Chen's outburst finally began to weaken.

The weakening backlash from 'Salvation of All Beings' began to spread rapidly throughout his body.

The Thunderflame Array, which had been waiting in the wings, was activated once again, unleashing countless rays of light that bombarded the scattered azure dragon souls.

Longshe Guchen only had time to let out a mournful dragon roar before a thousand layers of flames and ten thousand beams of light fell down, turning Longshe Guchen into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The mosquito quietly emerged from the crack in the ground, but hid in a corner where no one noticed.

Suddenly, through its 'Soul Devouring' talent perception, it "saw" a streak of cyan soul light flying out from the explosion.

Faster than lightning, it flashed through the air and disappeared.

The giant serpent was finally slain, and the spirit and demon races present in the punitive expedition were silent for a moment, then erupted into thunderous cheers.

Li Chunfeng saw it clearly.

On the surface, the spirit race and the demon race in the Spirit Realm seem to be irreconcilable enemies.

Although they lacked high-level combat power in this battle, they were still well-prepared. The two races put aside their past grievances and cooperated closely. The commander was calm and composed, and the entire team was disciplined and impeccable, which was chilling to behold.

"If their quality is like this, it's no lower than that of the Earthly Realm."

With Gu Chen's death, the Blood Pool naturally collapsed as well.

Its remaining possessions naturally fell into the hands of the punitive expedition.

Li Chunfeng was somewhat regretful. He didn't care about the blood pool, but he still hadn't refined a fragment of the Law of Life.

However, it saw the light of the fleeing primordial spirit. Although Gu Chen's physical body was destroyed, perhaps his primordial spirit had not truly perished.

There are also two Abyss Demons, and the Xuan Yin Banners on their bodies will inevitably fall into the hands of the people of this realm.

but……

Li Chunfeng muttered incantations, made a hand seal, and after a while, a simple, ancient rope, like a belt, flew out from the void and landed in the Mosquito Taoist's hand.

It then flew swiftly into the depths of the crevice.

The punitive expedition was cleaning up the battlefield; with their meticulousness, Gu Chen wouldn't even leave a single piece of meat behind.

Tianji Bingce summoned his deputy and said, "Just now, that serpent monster was bound by chains, but suddenly the chains broke free, and it unleashed tremendous power. It killed the Abyss Demon Spirit and severely injured us. Now that the chains are gone, they may have fallen into the abyss, or perhaps an enemy has secretly taken them away. You must be careful."

The main chapter is presented here.

Two chapters are missing, but I will definitely make up for them later.
