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

Chapter 51: Giving Back
When tens of thousands of lantern demons surrounded the Flying Head Barbarian, the sky was immediately filled with chaos and a fierce battle raging with evil energy.

Flying Head Barbarian is skilled at devouring souls and can spew ghostly flames.

Lantern Ghost is also skilled in Soul Devouring and Soul Fireball, and can also use psychic shields and psychic fists.

The flying head spewed out a large amount of ghostly flames, freezing the air into a layer of ice.

These flames are a ghostly blue color, and when they burn on buildings, they don't produce the effect of ordinary flames, but rather a bone-chilling cold that condenses into a layer of highly corrosive acid ice.

It wasn't very powerful, but it was extremely dense, covering the entire area.

However, Ran Deng's 'psychic shield' had already reached the Earth Rank, and even when his clones unleashed it, its power was extremely strong, with layers of transparent shields firmly protecting them.

As the ghostly flames struck his body, the corrosive acid ice that had surfaced on his body was removed, causing him to flicker repeatedly.

As the Burning Lamp clone began its counterattack, spewing out a series of soul fireballs, the situation instantly reversed. Soul fireballs were also Earth-rank spells, and even at thirty percent of their power, the Flying Head Barbarian couldn't withstand them. After being hit by several fireballs, some skulls burst into flames in mid-air.

The flying head was quite adept at biting, charging into the horde of lantern ghosts and attacking with its teeth, but it could only fray the shields, not achieving much effect. When a barrage of shimmering silver 'psychic fists' was unleashed, large numbers of skulls were instantly blasted to pieces.

When two densely packed groups meet, they resemble a pack of frenzied and savage monsters, tearing and devouring each other.

Two different flames clashed, and the fierce firelight almost illuminated half the sky. Because the energy burst was too concentrated, it caused a mushroom cloud to rise up, like a long-suppressed volcano erupting suddenly, and a faint smell of sulfur permeated the air.

"My goodness!"

Fang Yan and the others were also shocked to see this scene.

"Captain, is he really at the Divine Realm?" one of the team members couldn't help but ask.

Fang Yan wasn't sure either, so he checked the information on the token again before saying, "His information shows that he is indeed only at the Divine Realm. Since he has such abilities, he deserves to earn battle merits. The chaos in the city should end soon. Everyone, don't sit idly by, let's get moving and speed things up."

"Yes, Captain!"

Based on the comparison of the strength of their souls, Flying Head Barbarian is a top-tier first-order ghost.

The clone of the Burning Lamp possesses 30% of the original's strength and is also a second-tier being.

Flying Head Demons are special ghosts, born from the White Bone Netherworld Lord. They are the White Bone Netherworld Lord's symbiotic ghost lice, similar to Invincible Ox Lice or Tiger Demon's accomplice. Ordinary methods are unlikely to completely kill them. Even if the skull's physical body is destroyed, a portion of its soul will eventually return directly to the White Bone Netherworld Lord.

Now that they've encountered the lamp, it's truly like meeting their nemesis.

Each flying barbarian can bring two or three strands of soul power to the lamp, which is more than a normal first-order creature.

Large numbers of flying-headed barbarians were wiped out.

In Li Chunfeng's perception, he only felt one after another soul fire flying towards the Burning Lamp above his head, like moths to a flame, all of which were devoured by the Burning Lamp. The Burning Lamp's divine soul power began to surge wildly again, and this time the speed was even faster than in the Abyss.

He was already close to leveling up when he slaughtered so many orcs in Yuan City.

At this moment, a large number of souls were gained, instantly leading to a level increase.

[Burning Lamp: Level 9 Evil Spirit (Tier 2)]

Li Chunfeng sensed that his natal demon pet was almost reaching its current limit.

A cultivator's soul realm has its limits. Generally speaking, most cultivators' natal demonic pets cannot surpass their master's realm.

Li Chunfeng possesses a unique inner landscape of the Nine Mountains Heavenly Pool, making the barrier of his 'Bright Moon' soul aperture exceptionally resilient. Furthermore, he has the innate divine ability of 'Soul Fusion and Unity,' which allows him to rapidly increase the level of his natal demon pet, even surpassing his own level. However, he cannot use soul fusion to make his demon pet exceed his own level by two major realms.

This illustrates that the two great realms represent a chasm that is temporarily insurmountable.

Burning Lamp's current realm is only one level away from the perfection of the second stage, almost reaching the current limit. At least, it is impossible to further improve Burning Lamp's level through 'Soul Fusion'.

However, 'Soul Devouring' can still help Ran Deng quickly improve his strength.

However, if we continue to increase the level, it might resemble a child pushing a large cart, and the cart could easily tip over.

In fact, Li Chunfeng had already felt some pressure. The bright moon soul aperture representing the lamp in the small inner landscape was continuously emitting high-level divine soul pressure, with a sense of urgency that had been accumulating for a long time and was about to burst forth.

The feeling now is even stronger.

Although his communication with Ran Deng was still smooth and without much hindrance, after all, Ran Deng was someone he had fused with and grown from a lowly mortal demon to its current state. He had confidence in his natal demon pet, but he dared not rashly break this limit.

If, by then, the master's natal demon pet's cultivation level surpasses the master's by a significant margin, it might develop disloyal intentions, which would be quite undesirable.

Now, Li Chunfeng could finally activate one of the most basic benefits for cultivators to quickly increase their strength—the feeding of demonic pets. But first, he needed to completely resolve the issue of these flying barbarians.

With the high-rise crisis resolved, Li Chunfeng's gaze swept over the few fleeing black clouds of flying heads. There weren't many of them, and Fang Yan and the others had already arrived, so they should be able to eliminate them soon and not let them escape too far.

Just as he was about to go over to help, a firework suddenly shot into the sky in the distance.

It's not too far from here.

"It's an emergency distress signal! Li Chunfeng, your escape technique is fast, go and provide support immediately!" Fang Yan shouted.

Li Chunfeng cautiously scanned the area with his 'mind's eye' and, seeing that Fei Tou Man was still causing chaos, did not refuse, "Alright, then I'll go first."

Then, with a swift movement, he 'blinked' at full speed.

This time, the teleportation exceeded the limit of 'blink', covering a distance of nearly 300 meters, consuming 368 strands of divine soul power.

So-so.

The silver rune representing 'flickering' in the small interior space dimmed slightly, entering a cooling-off period.

Li Chunfeng ran a few steps and lit the lamp, which then entered his soul aperture.

He immediately activated his demonic transformation state, his physical strength increased, and then he tried to use 'Phantom Charge'.

In the demonic transformation state, the surging sensation of blood and qi was indeed greatly reduced, but it was still impossible to continue charging.

They continued running at high speed, approaching the city center.

About three minutes later, the silver talisman flashed again, and Li Chunfeng teleported three hundred meters.

With these intermittent flashes, they finally arrived at the place where they needed help.

"boom!"

Ran Deng stepped forward once more, unleashing a flurry of flying fists that struck the black smoke. The sound of bones shattering echoed continuously, and the Flying Head Barbarian's skull cracked, its soul fire scattering everywhere.

Wherever the lantern ghost passed, the surrounding flying heads fell down like wheat being harvested, and the area was immediately cleared away.

They even attempted to fight back, but couldn't hold back after a while.

"Jiruwagu..."

The surviving Flying Head Man let out a strange cry, his eyes filled with fear, and immediately turned and ran, scattering in all directions.

Just then, other nearby teams arrived at the right time, and a silver sword aura soared into the sky, piercing the air and killing hundreds of flying barbarians in a series of strikes.

This is a high-level martial artist.

Li Chunfeng controlled the clone of Ran Deng to separate the battlefield, and they tacitly surrounded and attacked the fleeing Flying Head Barbarians.

He felt that the divine power of the lamp was soaring too fast. "Could it be that I've turned misfortune into blessing today and directly leveled up to the second tier, the maximum level?"

The city was engulfed in constant warfare.

By the time the countless flying barbarians were wiped out, night had fallen.

The silver moon in the sky had turned blood red.

The state of war has not ended, and the Boundary Key still cannot open the teleportation portal.

On the Jia Chen city tower, Li Chunfeng had a chance to rest and solemnly looked out of the city through the observation window.

Unlike the still-warm climate inside the city, snow was already falling heavily outside the thin layer of array light barrier. In the distance, the ghostly mist of the Grand Canyon had already surged to the edge of the city walls, and the light barrier was being rapidly depleted.

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it. The war has come so suddenly; has the front line already been breached?
The network in the Ghost Realm also experienced lag, as if the signal had been cut off.

Everyone felt uneasy.

As a newbie, Li Chunfeng instinctively sensed the danger.

Improving his strength was the priority for him to feel at ease. So he found an empty room and prepared to begin his first experience of a demon pet feeding him.
