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

Chapter 198: The Yin God

The sword spirit of the Heavenly Capital Sword had long been replaced by Li Chunfeng's Void Sword Soul.

Although it is only a third-tier magic weapon, as my natal flying sword, it has been constantly tempered by the Heavenly Capital Divine Fiend, and its sword soul is full of spirituality.

However, the Star River Sword has never shown any signs of having a sword spirit.

However, the Star River Sword is ultimately a fifth-tier magic weapon, so it is quite normal for it to give birth to a sword spirit.

Li Chunfeng had not fully refined this fifth-tier magic weapon flying sword and was unaware that it had already given birth to a sword spirit.

The sword spirit consciousness within the Star River Sword is not weak; it is clearly not a recent creation.

They had kept a low profile before, clearly because they didn't think much of him.

Unexpectedly, using the characteristics of the Heavenly Capital Sword to resist the heavenly lightning, and also using the heavenly lightning to temper the sword, actually managed to attract the sword spirit of the Star River Sword.

As the spirituality of the flying sword increases, the materials of its body are also constantly being refined and improved. Under this heavenly tribulation, the Heavenly Capital Sword, having absorbed the essence of lightning, has already shown signs of transcending its limitations.

The spirit of the Star River Sword has a childlike personality, and upon seeing this scene, it naturally refused to admit defeat.

Since this request was made, Li Chunfeng naturally had to fulfill it.

Once the sword spirit recognizes its master, refining the flying sword will be much smoother in the future.

Thus, the sword technique was activated, and the Star River Sword transformed into a shimmering sword rainbow, plunging into the thunderclouds to absorb bolts of lightning. However, its efficiency was much weaker than that of the Heavenly Capital Sword, though it was still effective. Compared to the Heavenly Capital Sword, the Azure Star River Sword, having been with Li Chunfeng for a shorter time and not yet refined, was not progressing as well in terms of its enhancement through heavenly lightning tempering.

Li Chunfeng pondered, "Since magic treasures can absorb the power of tribulation lightning, what about another stubborn magic treasure, the Void Divine Chain?"

So he summoned the Void Chains and set up a network of Void Chains above his head.

Powerful bolts of tribulation lightning struck the divine chains, revealing the phantom of the Primordial Shadow Demon Emperor, which was rapidly devouring the heavenly lightning and tempering the divine chains.

Amidst a series of violent roars, the countless lightning bolts were either resisted or completely absorbed by several magical treasures in an instant!

Even the center of the tribulation clouds that covered half of the Dragon Horn Mountain Range was ripped open with a huge hole!
At this moment, Li Chunfeng's consciousness had also merged with the Star River Sword, achieving a brief state of "pseudo-human-sword unity".

The Star River Sword is a flying sword with the attribute of stars, which is very compatible with the "Star Devouring" technique.

Li Chunfeng himself cultivated multiple stellar attribute techniques and supernatural abilities, and having already completed the third transformation of his sword body, he possessed an even greater affinity for the sword path. Taking advantage of the tribulation lightning tempering, he became one with the Star River Sword, experiencing the full power of this fifth-tier magical treasure sword from the inside out.

With the move "Seamless Star Slash", the sword rainbow extended three hundred feet, like a vast starry river falling to earth.

Then the Star River Sword Technique unfolds, "Dreaming of the Milky Way, with stars scattered around," the Sun and Moon Without Light Sword Style, and the Stars Preaching Sword Style.

"Tonight is the best night to share with no one; I lie here watching the Milky Way, its light shining brightly. Lights illuminate every corner of the city, while the Milky Way stretches across the water."

A sword can create a galaxy.

A glittering galaxy was also parted by it within the dense clouds of calamity.

The heavenly tribulation, having been so provoked, and the tribulation clouds that had been repeatedly cleaved open, began to regroup under the replenishment of the endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Golden Core Tribulation is merely the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, consisting of thirty-six heavenly lightning strikes.

Having accumulated to this point, it has become increasingly concentrated.

Terrifying bolts of lightning poured down from it, and the Dragon Horn Tribe members who had taken a safe distance felt instantly oppressed and unable to breathe. The heavenly tribulation was like a wildly dancing green snake, seemingly brewing a final bombardment.

Li Chunfeng's expression turned slightly serious.

The dark blue lightning in the sky, like a beam of divine light from beyond the heavens, was hurtling towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever it passed, the void distorted. First, the third-tier natal flying sword 'Tiandu Sword' absorbed the tribulation lightning, let out a mournful cry, and flew back.

Li Chunfeng changed his sword technique, and the Azure Star River Sword met the attack head-on. After blocking several more bolts of tribulation lightning, it also emitted a sword cry and deflected them.

The Void Chains formed a dense network of Void Chains, dispersing each tribulation lightning bolt stronger than the last.

After being weakened layer by layer, the tribulation lightning slammed down hard onto the somersault cloud.

Li Chunfeng, however, was not afraid at all. He used his powerful soul force to lift up the Somersault Cloud, and his body was covered with a five-colored spiritual cloud. He then flew straight towards the lightning.

The moment the two made contact, the dark blue lightning exploded.

The scattered lightning power was then refined and absorbed.

Time passed slowly, until the final few bolts of lightning struck.

Immediately after the explosion, an even thicker bolt of lightning struck down.

Li Chunfeng, riding his magical artifact and the five-colored spiritual cloud shield, flew upwards, dissipating all the falling tribulation lightning, and finally crashed straight into the center of the heavenly tribulation.

A gigantic, semi-transparent silver giant appeared around him; it was the long-lost battle intent entity. The giant wielded a giant axe, imbued with the intent of star-shaped fists, and fiercely cleaved towards the tribulation lightning.

Amidst a deafening roar, the bolt of lightning shattered.

The final lightning bolt had condensed into a pillar of lightning about ten feet in diameter.

Li Chunfeng stirred the star cores in his acupoints and used the Stellar Transformation once again, with the Scorpio constellation condensing behind him.

The enormous scorpion tail suddenly pierced the pillar of lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar!

Scorpio was blasted into a sky full of nebulae, creating a dazzling galaxy that was incredibly magnificent.

But in an instant, all the tribulation clouds collapsed toward the center point, eventually turning into wisps of dark clouds and lightning wrapped in a five-colored somersault cloud in Li Chunfeng's palm.

The final cloud of tribulation lightning was not wasted; it was collected by the Somersault Cloud.

The Somersault Cloud can be sized at will, can support cities, and can generate barriers to resist thunder, fire, and gales. It withstood the test during this tribulation. Moreover, as an innate spiritual cloud, even if its spirituality is damaged, the Somersault Cloud can refine more clouds to help the divine clouds recover and improve.

Even clouds of calamity are still clouds; they should not be wasted!

At the same time, the heavenly tribulation had completely dissipated and vanished into nothingness.

Li Chunfeng survived the Core Formation Tribulation unscathed.

Laughing loudly, he sent the Heavenly Capital Sword, the Star River Twin Swords, the Void Divine Chain, the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe, and other items into his divine aperture to nurture and refine them. Then, he rode the Five-Colored Somersault Cloud back into the cave.

The cultivation journey is far from over.

He closed his eyes and looked inward. In his inner world, the Black Lotus Divine Embryo was already full of cracks, and the Yin Spirit could be born at any moment.

Jiao Xuan has personally come to guard the vicinity of the cave, giving his last bit of strength.

Three days later, at dusk, the sky was still very bright.

At this moment, the light on the entire Dragon Horn Mountain suddenly dimmed, and the colorful sea of ​​clouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, condensing into six-petaled lotus flower shapes. The lotus flowers were dim and purplish-black, and that extremely vivid purplish-black intertwined together, covering the entire mountaintop.

Beneath this black lotus, nine enormous and majestic mountain shadows emerge, with a magnificent celestial pool at the very center.

Then a lamp of the heart rises, illuminating the area.

A lush tree shadow swayed under the lamp, and beneath the shadow stood a huge, shimmering phantom.

All living beings within this strange realm felt an extremely intense pressure enveloping them.

Thus, the Yin Spirit was formed!

Those who are Yin spirits have transcended the boundaries and can be called superior beings.

A cultivator at the Yin Spirit Realm possesses many abilities that transcend the realm of divine thought. The most basic ability is that the Yin Spirit can detach from the body and roam the world freely, no longer merely relying on divine thought to interfere with the external world.

Through cultivation and the process of nine returns and seven transformations, the Yin spirit will gradually materialize, reaching a state between the illusory and the real.

The realm of Yin spirits allows the soul to condense the energy of heaven and earth, resulting in endless transformations.

The spirit can manifest a physical form through external objects, condensing into a real shape, such as smoke, fog, cold wind, moonlight, etc.

Other abilities such as teleportation, possession by spirits, casting spells remotely, and slaying people from afar with a sword can all be achieved.

The possession of the Yin Spirit is also a major killing move of the Yin Spirit Realm. It can fit into various flesh and blood bodies, possess the bodies of various animals, and even possess primates with weaker blood and energy. Every word and phrase carries immense pressure on the soul.

At this moment, the soul splits, and with a single thought, the Daoist arts become boundless.

The soul can also transform into a yin wind, searching the area within the range of divine sense. Ordinary beings whose bodies are touched by this yin wind will have their souls stolen.

After reaching the Yin Spirit Realm, the advanced sword techniques that were previously unattainable due to limitations in strength, such as 'Sword Light Differentiation', 'Sword Refining into Silk', 'Man and Sword as One', 'Entrusting the Primordial Spirit', and 'One Sword Breaks All Laws', are no longer constraints.

Whether one can comprehend it or not depends entirely on one's own comprehension.

Li Chunfeng was very self-satisfied.

After advancing to the Yin God Realm, his divine soul pressure also increased significantly, and his divine sense perception expanded from over 16,000 zhang to nearly 20,000 zhang. His divine soul thoughts also reached a staggering 1.2 million. Li Chunfeng focused his consciousness onto the incomplete jade disc:

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 4: Level 1 (1%)】

Characteristics: Nine returns and seven reversions, the Yin spirit returns to emptiness. After a lifespan of 1,500 years, the soul begins to decay.

Its normal lifespan has reached 1,500 years, which is 1,000 years longer than that of a third-order Divine Embryo Realm cultivator.

Those who reach the Golden Core stage in the Qi Refining path can live up to six hundred years.

Unfortunately, lifespan is only based on the highest achievement and cannot be accumulated.

Compared to the other two paths, martial arts body training is a "short-lived" path.

This is the advantage of the Path of the Soul compared to the Path of Martial Arts for Body Refinement and Qi Refinement.

Of course.

Under the shadow of the abyss, even a long lifespan is useless if one cannot live.

Li Chunfeng looked at the sword-shaped purple-gold pill in his dantian. This exceptionally gifted pill would awaken innate supernatural abilities.

"I wonder if the Golden Core of the Third-Stage Sword Body possesses innate supernatural abilities?"

He immediately sank his Yin spirit into the Golden Core, easily passing through it without any obstruction, as free and at ease as if returning home.

Within the Golden Core, he immediately felt a surge of vital energy nourishing his Yin Spirit.

The originally dazzling and brilliant Chaos Will Sword Core has now become almost transparent.

The lifelike Li Chunfeng sat inside, his features and eyebrows vividly displayed, joyfully sensing his own Yin spirit.

As the Yin Spirit began to breathe, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 20,000 feet continuously flowed in, making the Golden Core grow stronger. The Yin Spirit, residing within the Golden Core, was also constantly nourished.

He quickly discovered the special feature of his own golden core: strands of profound sword energy spread within it.

This is clearly the thread of the rules of supernatural powers.

—Innate supernatural abilities.

Li Chunfeng immediately focused on comprehending the essence of this innate divine power and quickly grasped its profound meaning.

Contrary to expectations of a powerful divine sword technique, this innate divine ability is called [Primordial Sword Intent]!
The Primordial Sword Intent helps one comprehend sword intent through various sword techniques; the more sword intent one possesses, the greater the power of the Primordial Sword Intent. With the enhancement of sword intent, the power of the sword techniques also increases.

After comprehending the profound meaning of the supernatural power, Li Chunfeng immediately realized the purpose behind the many superb sword techniques attached to the "Nine Revolutions Sword Body Technique".

This advancement has also greatly benefited the three main natal demon pets.

However, since Ran Deng and Tai Yi were already at a higher level, their effects weren't very noticeable; at most, their soul power increased slightly. Mosquito Daoist, on the other hand, had already reached the second-tier limit and could evolve and advance at any time. But for safety reasons, Li Chunfeng hadn't allowed it to advance.

Li Chunfeng took out a spirit-testing ball, infused it with magical power, and a dazzling light appeared.

After some calculations, entirely new attributes and aptitudes were also determined.

[Third-stage Sword Body: Metal 40, Wood 40, Water 40, Fire 40, Earth 40, Darkness 98, Sword 60→80, Chaos 28→30, Lightning 46→50!]

It lost 25 points of the Five Elements aptitude, but the overall aptitude was even 1 point higher.

This point is due to the lightning spiritual root; it clearly withstood the forty-nine lightning tribulation, which has invisibly improved the lightning-attribute spiritual root aptitude.

Unfortunately, this approach is not universally applicable.

Who would dare risk their life to defy the Heavenly Tribulation, just for a few points of lightning attribute aptitude?
With a sword spirit root of level 80, one has already reached the threshold of a heavenly spirit root.

"Now, I could be considered a swordsmanship genius!"

The Three-Turn Sword Body also possesses several auxiliary sword techniques:

【Mind, Spirit, and Sword Intent】: Where the mind goes, the sword goes.

The 【Frosty Bone-Piercing Sword】 is a sword technique that is chillingly cold, like piercing ice needles.

The "Nine Heavens Cloud Movement Sword" is a sword technique as powerful and unparalleled as the movement of clouds in the nine heavens, possessing extremely strong power.

【Endless Void Sword】, the sword moves are like an endless void abyss, with powerful attack power and variability.

Li Chunfeng tried to understand it, but it was still difficult.

I might as well leave the country.

In an instant, he arrived in front of the old man guarding the mountain pass. "Xuanwu, thank you for protecting me."

"Wind Witch, congratulations on your further improvement in cultivation."

"Haha, thank you. I happen to have some good wine here, how about we enjoy some together? Besides, my cultivation has improved this time, so the power of my healing spells should also have increased, which might be able to heal the Xuanwu's injuries."

Jiao Xuan had long since let go of everything, waiting only for the Dragon God's summons. Several days ago, he had even dreamed of the Dragon God, but upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion within his Dao heart.

Her lips twitched, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she followed him back down the mountain.

Just as they were enjoying their drinks and conversation.

Outside the Spirit Realm, in that meteorite base.

The Dragon-Tiger Array Spirit suddenly issued a warning, waking up Zhang Jingyi, the base's commander-in-chief, who was meditating.

Zhang Jingyi dared not delay and instantly merged with the array spirit's consciousness to find out where the change had occurred.

After a long pause, he was filled with questions.

"Someone has undergone tribulation in the Spirit Realm, and even advanced to the fourth-tier Yin God Realm?!"

"Who was so careless as to send such a genius into the Spirit Realm?"

He immediately mobilized his Major General's Sword Token, connecting with countless other sword tokens in the Spirit Realm through the void.

Apart from a few special sword tokens, the rest were all at the third tier of strength.

Only the captain's sword token, imprinted with three star emblems and a golden dragon pattern, emitted a divine soul pressure that was clearly stronger than that of the Divine Embryo Realm.

As expected, he advanced to the Yin God Realm.

"Huh, it's him?!"

"Good lad, you've only been cultivating for a short time and you've already reached the Yin God Realm!"

"The person in charge of Kunlun Academy is... Jiang Wei. He really doesn't treat geniuses like human beings."

He immediately contacted Jiang Wei.

Li Chunfeng, who was in the Dragon Horn Tribe, was naturally unaware of the shock his promotion had caused to the outside world.

Three days later, Li Chunfeng withdrew the light of dawn.

A hint of redness appeared on Jiao Xuan's aged face. The injury to his origin was not easy to heal, and it was difficult to cure with treatment alone.

However, with Li Chunfeng's all-out treatment, the Dawn Aura also played a role.

According to his original idea, the sooner Jiao Xuan died, the better, so that he could take control of the Dragon Horn Tribe.

But he has now changed his mind.

In the end, this world is ruled by strength. As long as one is strong enough, no matter how much the Dragon Horn Tribe rebels, it will be difficult to escape his grasp. They can be easily suppressed by him at any time. This is not an outcome that one or two spirit witches can change.

His time is precious, and he is destined not to devote too much energy to the tribe. It would be best if he could have an assistant to help him.

Therefore, a living Jiao Xuan is more valuable than a dead Jiao Xuan.

"Thank you very much, I feel great." Jiao Xuan said solemnly.

Li Chunfeng shook his head, "This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Injuries to the original soul are not so easy to heal unless there is a primordial spiritual object. Moreover, it must be a primordial spiritual object that can heal injuries to the divine soul."

Jiao Xuan's heart stirred. "It won't be long before the grand trading day for this desolate region arrives. Perhaps I could try my luck on that day." But then he shook his head. "Forget it. This old man is not worth treating with innate spiritual medicine."

Li Chunfeng laughed and said, "We will definitely go on trading days, but that won't stop us from going hunting. Otherwise, how will we all get through the winter?"

The following day, Li Chunfeng summoned eighteen fifth-tier totem warriors, including Kai Xuan.

Preparing to attack the Black Flame Tribe.
