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

Chapter 34 (Parts 3 & 4): The Hidden Arrow Soul (Please continue reading)
[Psychic Shield: Spirit Rank, Level 1 (1/1000)]

[Void Great Handprint: Spirit Rank, Level 1 (1/1000)]

The runes manifested by spells of the Spirit Rank are even more complex and profound.

The shield is more powerful, extending its protective shield to a radius of one zhang around the body, enough to withstand the impact of a thousand jin.

Ordinary flying arrows and stray bullets are nothing to them.

The Void Handprint became even more solid and powerful, with a power coefficient of 10.0.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was only at the second level of the Divine Realm, and the power of his pure spiritual power was limited. Even a tenfold increase would not have a noticeable effect, and he still needed to practice more.

In comparison, defensive spells are more effective.

No wonder everyone is focused on figuring out defensive spells.

Spirit-level spells already fall into the category of second-tier spells.

For an ordinary person, these two skills alone would be enough to defeat 80% of opponents of the same level. But he would be facing a group of geniuses, whose ability to fight beyond their level was commonplace.

Fortunately, he was able to level up quickly and arrive at the 'Dark Abyss Ruins' of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.

This place offers multiple tiers of consumption options.

The first level of the Dark Abyss is the place with the lowest cost: 100 Heavenly Dao Coins per day.

The spiritual energy there is already abundant, enough for early-stage Divine Realm cultivation.

This kind of consumption is also the choice of the vast majority of people in Yuancheng. After all, 100 Heavenly Dao Coins are equivalent to tens of thousands of Dao Merit Points, which is not cheap.

Not everyone can withstand the daily retreat to a blessed land for quiet cultivation.

Li Chunfeng had only cultivated in the first level of the Dark Abyss before, but today he was going to break through the barrier, so he chose a place with excellent feng shui.

Second level Dark Abyss, 500 Heavenly Dao Coins/day.

Three layers of Dark Abyss, 1000 Heavenly Dao Coins/day...

His visualization refining efficiency wasn't that high; the second level of the Dark Abyss was enough, but Li Tuhao just wanted to experience high consumption today.

After being teleported into the third level of the Dark Abyss Ruins, all that remained was pure blackness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but without the unsettling darkness that comes with being in the void.

Li Chunfeng felt the omnipresent surge of dark power, intermittently accompanied by eerie auras, which was at least ten times more concentrated than the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the first layer of the Dark Abyss.

When you've been in darkness for a long time, you always feel as if some mysterious eyes are watching you from the depths of the boundless darkness.

If you lack self-control, you can easily fall into a state of panic, let alone cultivate yourself.
Moreover, in such a place where dark power gathers, once one truly begins to meditate and enter a state of deep concentration, it will inevitably be accompanied by even stronger hallucinations.

Li Chunfeng dared not be reckless, so he silently recited the calming mantra and immediately released the Burning Lamp.

"Phantom clone!"

The lantern ghost, already the size of a human head, instantly split into 1,080 clones, illuminating the ground and the sky with brilliant starlight, and also lighting up the dark abyss depths that had never been lit for countless years.

[Lighting the Lamp]: Evil Spirit Level 1 → Evil Spirit Level 4 (Second Tier)
【talent】:
1. Soul Devouring (Mid-grade Yellow Rank)

II. Heart Lamp (Low-grade Earth Rank → Mid-grade Earth Rank)
[Spell]:
灵魂火弹（玄阶10级）、念力护盾（黄阶5级→玄阶3级）、念力拳头（黄阶5级→玄阶1级）、幻影分身（黄阶1级→黄阶6级）、烽火狼烟（灵阶6级→灵阶9级）。

The strength of the lamp-burning team has improved significantly compared to two months ago.

However, this pace of progress did not meet Li's expectations.

If you do the math, he has diligently captured over 15 lantern ghosts for soul fusion in the past two months.

Advanced Lantern Ghosts make up nearly half of the total.

Compared to its level increase, the amount of soul power wasted is obviously much greater.

Putting aside the 'Heart Lamp' talent, its improvement has been quite rapid.

The 'Soul Devouring' talent becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress. Right now, just upgrading from mid-grade Yellow Rank to high-grade Yellow Rank requires a whopping 177147 Lantern Ghosts.

He did consider using his financial resources to get help in the capture.

But it's a bottomless pit. Once you start, no matter how much money you have, it won't last.

However, when necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to be a miser.

After circling around the three-layered dark abyss, Li Chunfeng was surprised to find that there were actually buildings beneath the abyss.

In the distance, the outlines of towering palaces and pavilions can be seen, suggesting an extremely glorious past.

However, the boundary was blocked by a barrier, making it impossible to investigate further.

Around the teleportation site, there are many simple cave dwellings built entirely of huge stones. Less than a hundred meters away from the cave dwellings is the next level of abyss, which is even deeper.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, completely obscured by the darkness, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Since no one was entering the third level of the Dark Abyss, he casually found a spot and began to meditate.

Close your eyes, and all sorts of illusions come rushing in.

A black lotus with twenty-four petals gradually appeared in his mind's eye. Boundless darkness enveloped him, and the lamp of his heart guarded his spiritual altar, gradually leading him into a state of selflessness.

Unaware of the passage of time, and without knowing when it began, the surrounding darkness seemed to have gained warmth.

Li Chunfeng felt as if he were in a warm mountain spring, with endless dark power silently surrounding him, entering his body through all the 100,000 pores like hot spring water, and seeping into his mind inch by inch from his scalp.

The imagined hot spring bath had barely reached his skin when Li Chunfeng suddenly felt a cool sensation all over his body, as if he were bathing in a gentle breeze, with every pore of his body breathing in fresh air. He felt light and carefree, completely at ease.

This comfortable feeling made Li Chunfeng groan with pleasure.

Suddenly, another sense of dread washed over me.

Was that temperature from hot spring water, or was it the tongue of some unknown creature licking it?

He was experienced enough to know that at this moment, all sensory experiences were illusory; only the changes in his spiritual power were real. Immediately, the light of his inner lamp shone brightly, and he silently recited the calming mantra to steady his mind, resist temptation, and prevent himself from falling into chaos.

At this moment, in Li Chunfeng's inner world, over three thousand eight hundred black lotuses were scattered across the surface of the Heavenly Pool. Such immense divine soul power made Li Chunfeng feel slightly unsteady on his feet.

It's like a reservoir... or rather, not quite a reservoir. It's like an infinity pool; once the pool gets too full, using glass to support the edges becomes risky, and you'll have to replace it with a more durable material.

The same principle applies to the spirit and soul.

Even with his level of cultivation, he would still feel pressure when wielding divine soul power far exceeding his own level.

This pressure constantly tempered his control over his soul, and the 'Heart Lamp' continuously refined his soul power, keeping it pure and unique, which greatly reduced the pressure of controlling it.

His predicament was that the fuel tank was too full, but the power output was insufficient.

As the power of divine soul surged, the Corpse Dog Soul, manifesting as a black dog, burst forth from the largest black lotus in the Heavenly Pool, howling towards the sky. After months of being cleansed and refined by the power of divine soul, the black smoke on its body had long since become extremely faint. Now, after another cleansing, the last trace of black smoke dissipated.

In an instant, the fluorescent light shone, and the black dog transformed into a pure white corpse dog.

The Corpse Dog Soul shone brightly, as radiant as the moon.

This means that the impure thoughts within the untainted spirit of the corpse dog have been washed away.

The Corpse Dog Master rejoiced, and Li Chunfeng felt a surge of joy within him. His mind was at peace, and his perception was greatly enhanced. He immediately sensed a mysterious aura emanating from his heart, seemingly stirring restlessly—the very location of Fu Shi Po.

The Fushi Po governs the Qi and the heart, and is associated with anger.

We've found it. All that's left is to use the power of our souls to condense a soul seal and capture and refine it all at once.

Li Chunfeng had no shortage of spiritual power. He first shattered 108 strands of black lotus spiritual power, transforming them into a large net to cover it. Then he shattered another 108 strands of spiritual power, forming a black lotus soul seal, which crashed down.

It's so arrogant.

Fushimi was captured on the spot.

"Ow~"

A tender tiger's roar rang out in the small inner realm, and Fu Shi Po manifested as a small black tiger surrounded by black mist.
