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

Chapter 213, Part 212: Supernatural Powers are Laws, the Laws of Illusions and Clone Forms
The three, including Xiang Jiu, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Taiyi, were suddenly surrounded and heard omnipresent voices that seemed to have them as their prey.

Unable to contain his rage, his eyes flashed with cold light as he shot out several terrifying beams of light, gazing into the surrounding void.

However, everywhere you look, there are only lantern ghosts and more lantern ghosts.

Layer upon layer, densely packed, countless.

A closer look with one's senses sent chills down one's spine.

These lantern ghosts were all fourth-tier demon spirits.

The endless stream of fourth-tier lantern ghosts completely surrounded them, and the resulting divine soul pressure transformed the Dragon Horn Mountain Range into a ghostly realm in an instant.

[Phantom Clone (Earthly Fiend Divine Power - Tier 1): Creates 10.8 million clones, each possessing 40% of the original's strength. Features include Phantom Shift, Phantom Illusion, Soul-Stealing Assault, Phantom Chaos, and Illusionary Domain. Like one lamp guiding many, ultimately all lamps shine brightly!]

Supernatural powers are the laws.

The cultivation behind the phantom clones lies in the laws of phantoms and clones.

The clone can retain 40% of the original's strength, and the original can freely transfer positions between itself and any clone.

Furthermore, the power of illusions is even more immeasurable.

However, even a first-level phantom clone consumes a huge amount of energy.

It took a full nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine divine thoughts to successfully cast the spell.

After all, the opponents were sixth-tier experts from three major clans. No matter how arrogant Li Chunfeng was, he did not think it would be easy to fight three against one, so he had to go all out.

At the same time, it was also to test the power of the clone technique.

But his all-out effort almost petrified the other side.

It's important to understand that they've slaughtered quite a few sacrificial gods. And those beings who could become sacrificial gods likely had terrifying ancient deities behind them. Now, they've emerged alone, simply seeking rebirth within the Spirit Race, hoping to follow the path of those ancient gods. But they dare to kill; that's the confidence of a large tribe.

At the same time, they also have the guidance of their own tribal gods to plunder fortune and struggle to cross the vast ocean of doomsday.

Now, a small tribe in a remote area, which they thought would be easy to capture, has unexpectedly encountered a tough nut to crack.

The three were seasoned veterans, and having already begun the battle, they naturally harbored no illusions. Even surrounded, their spirits remained undiminished: "You country bumpkins, how dare you mock us!"

Huang Shang of the Ten Thousand Snake Tribe was short-tempered. With a shake of his arms, all the snake patterns on his body lit up, and a powerful aura soared into the sky. His body grew taller step by step, and layers of metallic scales emerged from under his bare arms.

This person had grown to over three meters tall, completely unlike a human. His vertical snake eyes had turned completely purple. With a roar, he leaped into the air like a peerless ferocious snake. Two wings even stretched out from his back, landing on the thousand-foot-long lightning snake that had been smashed away.

"hold head high!"

Its ferocity intensified; it wanted to devour the young dragon.

The greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Li Chunfeng smiled, and the 10.8 million lantern ghosts suddenly changed positions, releasing the Illusion Law.

The Dragon Horn Mountain Range vanished instantly, replaced by a dark red sea of ​​clouds. Within this sea of ​​clouds, countless demons and monsters darted about, uttering strange, incessant cries.

Huang Shang's movements came to an abrupt halt. "Oh no, an illusion?"

He touched his brow, and a blood-red crack immediately appeared, peering around.

But he gained nothing. "Damn it, what kind of illusion is this? Even my Void-Breaking Serpent Moo can't see through the illusion."

"Taiyi, this person is yours. Such a big snake must have good meat; keep it to make spicy snacks."

In the illusion, Li Chunfeng's voice seemed to fall from the heavens, rumbling endlessly.

"hold head high!"

Taiyi responded with a long howl.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon's true form emerged from the clouds, truly like a ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragon appearing in the world. Its dragon eyes glared angrily at the long snake, its dragon might unassailable, and it instantly swooped down.

Of the remaining two, Li Chunfeng's gaze fell on the Moonlight Spirit Elephant and the giant toad beneath Wen Jie of the Toad Immortal Clan.

"嘤嘤~"

Mosquito Taoist lay on the master's hair and licked his pink tongue. "Master, the blood smells so good."

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "I'll leave them all to you!"

With a wave of his hand, countless lanterns changed shape, transforming into a pot-bellied lantern demon.

Among all the heavens, it is unknown whether any lantern ghost surpasses the Burning Lamp. Perhaps the Burning Lamp has already surpassed countless lantern ghosts and will one day be able to claim the title of ancestor. Moreover, each of the Burning Lamp's evolutions is inseparable from Li Chunfeng. The extent to which the future ancestor of the lantern ghost clan can reach depends entirely on the extent of his dedication.

"I don't know if it's because I've been thinking about it day and night, always using the Soul Fireball as a cannon array to bombard people, that after advancing to the Earthly Fiend Divine Power, the Soul Fireball has finally been upgraded to the form I wanted."

[Soul Cannon Fortress (Earthly Fiend Divine Power - Tier 3): Under the Soul Cannon, all beings are equal!]

call out--

After a brief flash of red light, it was gone forever.

The Moonlight Elephant Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a great clan. Their powerful physical strength is secondary; moonlight bursts forth from their bodies, forming a round moon shield around them, protecting Elephant Jiu and the Toad Clan's experts within it, and also blocking layers of attacks.

The cannons of the fourth-tier clone seemed only able to create ripples on the surface of the full moon.

Like ants devouring an elephant, they gradually erode the power of the full moon shield.

Without a doubt, this full moon shield is also a supernatural power!
Only supernatural powers could withstand the relentless artillery barrage.

But faced with such a brutal artillery attack, Xiang Jiu's energy depleted rapidly, and his face gradually turned pale.

"The clone's weakness lies in its original body. We must find its original body and kill it with one blow!" he said solemnly.

"learn!"

With twin swords in hand, the Toad Immortal stared intently at the countless lantern ghosts filling the sky. He sat atop a giant toad, his body shrouded in smoke and dust. "In chaos lies order; in contradiction lies harmony."

With outstretched arms, a torrent of lightning poured forth, its immense power extinguishing countless clones.

But in the next instant, the gap was filled by a dense swarm of lantern ghosts.

Wenjie curled his broad lips, ceasing his futile attacks. He also erected a chaotic, smoke-like shield to help Xiangjiu resist the attacks.

The Toad Immortal Clan is different from the Serpent Clan and the Moonlight Elephant Clan.

Their tribe is small in number; even if they number in the tens of thousands, let alone tens of millions, it would still be a formidable force.

However, the Toad Immortal Clan is comparable to large clans in the desolate region, such as the Ten Thousand Snake Clan and the Moonlight Spirit Elephant Clan, which have populations of tens of millions.

In some ways, it is even better.

This is because the Toad Sage Clan is special.

The origin of the Toad Sage is a mystery. Legend has it that deep within the vast swamps of the desolate region lived a group of toad demons. One day, a spiritual book was born in the swamp, which was picked up by one of the toad demons, who then transformed into the Toad Spirit Clan. This was the first Toad Sage in the Toad Sage Clan, a legendary being, the Mud Toad Sage.

Its appearance is unique, resembling a toad, yet it exudes an air of wisdom. Its eyes are deep and starry, and it always seems to be pondering the mysteries of the universe.

Some say that the original Toad Sage was a wise man from a great clan, well-versed in literature. Reflecting on the impermanence and emptiness of life, he secluded himself in his study, studying the classics of various clans day and night, searching for the true meaning of life. Ultimately, he discovered that all written traditions could not depict the truth in his heart, so he abandoned writing, transformed into a toad, and hid deep in the swamp, quietly observing the shifting stars and the proliferation of all life.

Anyone seeking wisdom, who finds the center of the swamp, will be given an opportunity by the Toad Sage to converse with the universe. The listeners bring their deepest questions, and the Sage, in the simplest language, reveals astonishing truths.

This is, of course, speculation from the outside world about the Toad Clan.

In reality, after countless years of development, the Toad Immortal Clan has spread throughout the entire desolate region.

They became itinerant merchants, mysterious traders, in the desolate wilderness.

They would acquire goods in the territories of various tribes, trade for what they needed, and then travel long distances to the next tribe.

In the desolate region, transportation is inconvenient and information is scarce. It is precisely because the Toad Immortal Clan travels between various clans that many small clans are not left isolated.

Therefore, the vast majority of tribes welcome the toad tribe.

Why this time?
The Kunpeng's influence was so great that even the usually neutral Toad Immortal Clan joined in the conflict.

In Li's eyes, anyone who dared to plot against him was an enemy.

The full moon shield seemed sturdy, but its good fortune didn't last long. A soul cannon mixed in with countless cannon fire crashed down, tearing a huge gap in the full moon.

"There it is!" Xiang Jiu shouted.

The Toad Sage's figure had already disappeared into the full moon shield. With a swift movement of his twin swords, he annihilated the lantern demon.

But after making the cut, he was somewhat taken aback.

"Not the real body?"

"boom!"

The next instant, a huge fist suddenly slammed out from the side, hitting him and sending him flying.

It slammed heavily onto the mountainside. The true form of the Burning Lamp made its move, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, delivering a third-tier divine power psychic punch that taught him a lesson.

Since we've broken free of the shield, we must be prepared to sacrifice ourselves.

Countless attacks rained down on the mountainside.

"Hi~!"

Upon seeing its master under attack, the giant toad inside the shield could no longer remain still. It bent its knees and was about to leap out.

"Don't go!" Xiang Jiu's expression changed, and he loudly pleaded with him to stay.

But nothing could stop the toad's eagerness to save its master.

With a flick of its wings, the toad transformed into a massive mountain, completely covering the attacked mountain.

It also used its body to protect its master.

Countless soul cannons and psychic fists crashed down on the toad.

"Hiss~"

The toad cried out in pain, its flesh melting away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

"Sizzle—"

A sword cry shook the heavens as the seventh-tier Purple Heaven Tribulation Sword transformed into a gigantic blade, slashing fiercely down on the toad's head.

"No!"

From the foot of the mountain came a piercing scream from Wenjie.

The toad's head, as large as a small mountain, slid off the body. The cut surface was smooth as a mirror, without a drop of blood.

A primordial spirit crackling with purple lightning shot out from the toad's body, about to dive down the mountain.

No matter what.

When Ran Deng saw his primordial spirit leave his body, it was as if he saw a delicacy being served. He opened his mouth and inhaled, and a magnificent phantom of a soul-devouring beast appeared behind him.

The purple lightning spirit was frozen in mid-air, unable to escape or fall.

The drooling lamp was so tempted that it moved in a phantom form, approached in its true form, opened its mouth and swallowed the toad's spirit into its belly.

"Soul refining!"

"Let's see where you run this time!"

Finally, Xiang Jiu found an opportunity. The Moonlight Spirit Elephant transformed into a towering giant elephant, its two huge, curved tusks like pillars supporting the sky, crashing towards the main body of the Burning Lamp.

Unfortunately, when this seemingly inevitable strike landed on the lamp, a layer of psychic energy shield appeared on its body.

The ivory tusks crashed into the shield as if they were being plunged into the deep sea, bearing no weight whatsoever, but instead causing the two horns to vibrate violently.

Third-tier Earthly Fiend Divine Power - Psychic Shield.

It's no longer the flimsy, easily broken shield it once was.

To break through this shield, we must go all out.

When Xiang Jiu's attack failed, his expression changed drastically, and he slammed down the golden hammer in his hand.

The lamp was smashed and sent flying.

They tried to pursue, but were blocked by countless translucent silver fists falling from the sky.

Suppressing his grief, the Toad Immortal Wen Jie leaped up from beneath the toad's body, and with a flick of his wrist, unfurled a piece of animal skin, causing ripples to spread through the void.

"Brother Wen, take me with you!" Xiang Jiu exclaimed with ecstasy.

"Trying to escape? Have you even asked me first?"

Li Chunfeng's spatial perception allowed him to meticulously capture his every move.

A divine chain of void was thrown out from mid-air.

This divine chain had no room to maneuver during the tribulation, but it was precisely at that time that it intercepted the void escape technique.

The chains pierced through the void and landed on the two of them.

Wenjie's face stiffened, his heart breaking utterly. "Ahhh, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Fight to the death? Ha, do you even have the ability to do that!"

Li Chunfeng's true form remained hidden in the void, only remotely controlling the lamp to fight, and occasionally using his sword to kill enemies.

When the enemy is screaming hysterically, it means they have reached a dead end.

Li Chunfeng threw out another disc, which flew high in the sky and instantly transformed into a huge array.

Countless array runes danced in the sky like serpents.

The fixed formation on the innate array plate is the seventh-order Hunyuan Heavenly Blade Killing Formation.

It incorporates the power of chaos, possessing the ability to disrupt the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth. It transforms the power of heaven and earth into a heavenly blade to suppress enemies and create a strangulation effect!

The two were shocked and each mustered their last bit of strength, using all the powerful treasures they possessed.

Wenjie was like a mobile treasure trove. In order to survive, he used all the life-saving treasures he had hidden away. Several tremors in the void were to no avail.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!"

With dense celestial blades hanging overhead and the void itself frozen under the suppression of the great formation, this was truly a dead end.

"Sizzle—"

The clanging of blades filled the air, and the arena fell silent.

Li Chunfeng stared in astonishment at the giant elephant that had been torn apart by the Heavenly Blade.

The Primordial Heavenly Blade Killing Formation not only severs the physical body but also the primordial spirit.

"Spare me, I surrender."

Just as the lamp was about to devour the toad Wenjie's broken primordial spirit, he was so frightened that he let out a mournful cry of supplication.

Li Chunfeng's true form finally appeared: "What will you offer to buy your life?"

"My Toad Immortal Clan has always been neutral. This time, I've truly lost my mind and become blinded by greed, actually getting involved in the conflict. I deserve my bad luck. My lord, I can hand over the Toad Clan's personal storage, just to spare my life and give me a chance to rebuild my strength."

Wenjie looked at the lamp that had already caught his scent, and truly felt like a mouse encountering a cat. This was the feeling of facing his nemesis.

Li Chunfeng learned about the Toad Clan from the reports of Lin Shan and others.

There was also the scene during the battle where the opponent threw out a large number of treasures.

As a "mysterious merchant" in the wilderness, offering all one's possessions to save one's life is worth considering.

"Open your mind and let the curse mark be placed on you, and you can atone for your sins."

Wenjie's primordial spirit trembled, and he felt extremely unwilling.

"Ok?"

"……Yes."

He dared not resort to tricks and allowed the other party to cast spells.

"Death Soul Curse Seal".

The spell was cast by Ran Deng himself, and the curse mark was deeply imprinted into the opponent's three souls.

At this point, the other person's life was entirely in his hands.

"Shh!"

At this moment, a beam of moon-white light suddenly emerged from the giant elephant that had been torn apart by the chaotic blades, and slashed straight at Li Chunfeng.

"I was on guard against you."

The lamp landed on his head, erecting a mental shield that blocked the sudden attack of the mysterious light.

He immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing both a struggling, broken primordial spirit and a pure white elephant primordial spirit.

"boom!"

A colossal object descended from the sky; Huang Shang of the Ten Thousand Serpent Clan and his spirit serpents fell together from the heavens.
