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

Chapter 47: The Tribulation Ends
On the other side, the Guardians were also locked in a fierce battle with the Prophet. The battlefield was filled with lightning and thunder, and ice spikes flew like dragons, making for a very exciting battle.

The photo pearl faithfully recorded this scene.

Unbeknownst to them, Heigsen had been observing Li Chunfeng's battle from the sidelines. He was astonished to see Li Chunfeng summon so many ghosts. Relieved, he could then focus on his attack.

He immediately intensified his offensive, determined to capture the prophet quickly.

"Prophet, help me find his location."

The Sword Saint had been on the defensive and was constantly being attacked, and he was already seething with anger.

After the mirror image finally dissipated, the soul fireballs attacked the main body again. He couldn't help but howl in pain, enduring the pain of being constantly hit by the fireballs, and finally spoke up to the prophet for help.

The prophet frowned. The enemy was coming on strong, and the prophet itself was struggling to fight, let alone attend to others. Nevertheless, it sent its bloodthirsty wolves towards the guardian, sacrificing its summoned creatures to hinder the guardian and buy itself precious time. Taking advantage of this moment, the prophet immediately pointed its staff into the air, and electric nets spread out like ripples.

Outside the field, on a tree trunk, Li Chunfeng suddenly felt his skin go numb and his hair stand on end.

I feel like I'm locked in.

A sense of crisis washed over him, and without thinking, he jumped off the tree trunk.

"Found you, little mouse!"

The orc swordsman's massive figure vanished abruptly. Li Chunfeng reflexively released a spell, rolled onto the ground, and disappeared into the mud.

The next instant, the Sword Saint's figure appeared silently behind the tree, and with a sudden swift strike, his sword fell. The massive tree trunk, several meters thick, instantly shattered into countless splinters, and the Sword Saint's strike missed its mark.

It lashed at the earth several times in a fit of rage, its massive feet stomping on the ground, shattering rocks and debris. Wherever it passed, destruction was rampant, and the earth trembled, but all its efforts were in vain.

The lantern demons pounced again, surging towards the Sword Saint like a tidal wave.

This time, the Sword Saint learned its lesson and used its super speed to keep circling around instead of confronting the Lantern Demon head-on.

The lantern ghost was too slow, and even with its relentless Soul Fireball attack, it was still kited by the Sword Saint.

Li Chunfeng made a quick decision, and the lantern ghost abandoned its target and rushed directly towards the teleportation gate.

The Sword Saint's expression changed as expected; he could no longer dodge. He had no choice but to unleash a barrage of sword energy once more, sweeping away swarms of lantern ghosts.

Its stamina seemed inexhaustible, and it kept unleashing its sword energy without stopping. Li Chunfeng's plan to forcefully deplete its strength once again failed.

Even though I had already given much thought to the strength of the third tier, it now seems that I was still being superficial.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng still had a backup plan.

When the lantern demons were almost exhausted, black smoke rose from the field, and tens of thousands of demon clones appeared again.

The clones, each wielding a demonic axe, surged toward the Sword Saint like a tidal wave.

The Sword Saint clasped his hands together, puffed out his chest, swung his arms in a wide arc, and smashed down on the area where the clones were most concentrated.

"boom!"

As a dull shockwave spread outwards, the earth was dented. Debris flew everywhere, and sand billowed. The swarming demonic clones were instantly shattered. Yet countless clones continued to charge forward, some even clinging to the Sword Saint's limbs and body like glue, not seeking to harm him, but merely to hinder him.

The swordsman was extremely annoyed. His sword energy gradually weakened, and his defenses were torn apart by attacks that felt like ants biting an elephant.

A magic axe silently emerged from the ground.

With a swift, aerial slash, it viciously slashed down towards its neck.

"what!"

The Sword Saint tilted his head back and let out a deafening roar, grabbing at the tiny ant behind his neck with his large hand.

The attack was too fast; Li Chunfeng couldn't dodge it in time and had to use another trump card.

The Sword Saint's attack missed its mark; his determined strike only caught a wisp of smoke. Li Chunfeng's true form had already activated his substitution technique and vanished once more.

[Substitute Death Technique] The Soul Crystal disappears.

In the end, blood was drawn.

The remaining thousands of clones surged forward again, and the Sword Saint struggled to cope. Several attempts to escape were thwarted, but the clone army immediately changed direction and began destroying the teleportation gate.

"mean!"

The orcs roared and cursed incessantly in their desperation.

It was too late for the prophet to ask for help from his companions. He was at a disadvantage and had been held back by the guardians, leaving him no time to spare.

Suddenly, the Demon Axe returned.

Before he could even strike, the old orc hero's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious grin. "Little ant, let's see where you run this time. Did you think your trick would work on me again after we used it once? I've finally caught you!"

Li Chunfeng's expression changed slightly, and he unhesitatingly used his third trump card to save his life.

His entire body was enveloped in a golden light.

The sword saint's large hand was blocked, but the golden light emitted a strong force of resistance, actually pushing the large hand away and leaving the center wide open.

Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up, and an idea came to mind.

A giant of psychic energy, shimmering with silver light, appeared and enveloped him.

At the critical moment, he summoned his mental battle form to control the demonic axe, unleashing the strongest attack of his life. "Buzz!"

A dark, demonic aura flashed by.

The Sword Saint's movements stiffened; he had been too exhausted and hadn't expected this turn of events. As a result, when he tried to raise his defense again at the crucial moment, he found himself powerless.

"puff!"

Li Chunfeng, having exhausted his mental and physical strength, fell to the ground in a sorry state. His massive, sixteen-foot-tall body still appeared tiny in front of the orc swordsman. Just as he was about to burrow underground, he seemed to hear a hissing sound like a leaking cylinder, and his burrowing action abruptly stopped.

Looking up, he saw a jet of crimson blood gushing from the neck of the over five-meter-tall orc hero, shooting straight into the sky. Even he, in his second life, was stunned by the sight.

With a clang, the orc swordsman's longsword fell to the ground. He couldn't even hold the sword anymore; his eyes widened in horror as he clutched his neck with both hands, seemingly trying to stop the gushing blood.

Li Chunfeng's heart pounded wildly. He immediately ran to a safe place in the distance, then released his divine soul thoughts into his many clones, personally controlling hundreds of clones to rush forward.

In an instant, the remaining clones, as if injected with stimulants, surged forward one after another, like a black torrent, coming from all directions.

Within seconds, the fallen orc hero had multiplied and surrounded the enemy, like a dense swarm of black dwarves, launching a frenzied attack. Blood splattered everywhere, and pieces of flesh were peeled away; the scene was utterly brutal.

Only after the old orc hero was completely still did Li Chunfeng remotely control his mind battle body to pick up the sword saint's huge longsword.

He slashed fiercely at the now unguarded teleportation gate.

"click~"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, followed by a deafening explosion. A powerful green energy shockwave erupted, splitting the teleportation portal in two.

The mental battle body was also instantly shattered by this powerful shockwave.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng had the foresight to burrow underground.

Even deep underground, he could clearly feel the powerful tremors. After an unknown amount of time, the tremors subsided, and Li Chunfeng emerged from underground, cautiously peering out.

"hiss……"

Upon seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but gasp. The entire forest looked as if it had been shaved; the nearby trees seemed to have bent over, their branches and leaves neatly combed backward.

The orc prophet and the guardian have also disappeared.

Several blue-green crystal fragments were scattered on the ground, quite eye-catching.

He used his mental power to capture it, and with a sweep of his 'mind's eye,' he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "It's actually a bluestone? It really came without any effort at all."

The Azure Stone was born along with the shattering of the world. Could it be that what was just broken was not just a portal, but a small world?

Unable to figure it out no matter what, I stopped thinking about it.

He was now more worried about the Guardians' battle. Could it be that the two of them had been caught in the crossfire of the exploding portal? If they lost, he would have to face the orc shaman prophet alone.

He preferred facing the old orc swordsman to the shamanic prophet.

With a "whoosh," a figure appeared out of thin air.

"Young man, not bad, you actually achieved your goal before I did."

The Guardian returned, his hair disheveled, his hat nowhere to be seen. In one hand he carried a weapon and staff, and in the other, the shaman prophet's frozen corpse.

"senior."

Li Chunfeng bowed respectfully, "Thanks to your life-saving item, senior, otherwise I wouldn't have survived even if I died ten times over."

As he spoke, he looked at the old man with anticipation.

The guardian kept his word and with a flick of his hand, three rhombus-shaped crystal cores appeared in the air.

"Boy, there's no need to look at me like that. With the portal destroyed, this forest is safe now. Don't worry, the reward I promised you won't be small. You can only choose one of these three rewards. As for whether it's good or bad, that's entirely up to your own judgment."

Li Chunfeng's eyes flashed instantly as he stared at the three crystals.

"Thank you, senior, for your generous gift."

My mind immediately scanned the area, and then I was caught in a fierce internal struggle.

It's not that the products are bad, but rather that they are too good, making the choice difficult.

In the end, he chose one of them.

Hagerson raised an eyebrow. "Not bad eye, huh? But to refine this magic core, you'll need something special. Whether you can truly obtain it in the future depends on your own fate. I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Then, in a flash of light, he disappeared again.

Li Chunfeng looked at the crystal in his hand and chuckled to himself, "A special item? Hehe, isn't it just azurite? I just happened to have some."

Just then, a vibration also came from the key.

With the orc invasion army defeated and the tribulation mission overfulfilled, he no longer needed to wait until seven days later.

A series of prompts came to mind.

He only had time for a quick glance before being repelled by the abyss. A gap opened behind him, and his body uncontrollably fell into it and disappeared.
