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

Chapter 53: The Primordial Spirit Warship (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading!)
"Ah!"

Li Chunfeng sneezed violently.

A faint soul flame emanated from his nostrils, and a slight sulfurous smell lingered around him. Behind him, a black shadow with a huge head and a long tail vaguely appeared, then quickly disappeared.

The initial act of giving back yielded tremendous rewards.

Li Chunfeng's spiritual power surged to 50,000, and the "Black Lotus Scripture of the Turbid World" advanced two levels.

【Black Lotus Sutra of a Turbid World - Level 3000: 7 (1/7000)】

Characteristics: Refines the divine soul, gathers the seven spirits, develops mental power, forms a soul seed, and creates an indestructible soul.

At this moment, in the small inner world.

The non-poisonous spirit manifested as a seven-leaf, seven-flower grass, while the foul-smelling lung spirit manifested as a horse.

The seven spirits—Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Shade, Devouring Thief, Stinky Lung, and Non-Poison—are only missing the Purifying Spirit, signifying that Li Chunfeng has reached the seventh level of the Divine Realm.

In addition, all spells based on spiritual power and mental energy have made great progress.

The one that benefits the most is the 'Psychic Shield'.

[Psychic Shield: Earth Rank, Level 1 (1/1000)]

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

[Mind Invisibility: Yellow Rank, Level 1 (1/1000)]

[Battle Will Spirit Body: Profound Rank Technique, Level 6 (1/6000)]

The price paid was enormous; the lamp's grade dropped five levels.

But can this price be considered a price for him?

With his strength greatly increased, Li finally settled down.

……

Outside the city, snow fell heavily, and a dark tide rolled in. Strange, grotesque figures approached silently, densely packed, covering the entire mountainside. Their footsteps crunched on the snow, gradually merging into one continuous expanse.

After a day of fighting, the demon army outside the city was not only not driven away, but instead formed a siege of the city.

This war may seem sudden, but it was in fact inevitable.

No one could remain indifferent if their backyard was occupied and someone brazenly set up camp there. The ghost forces in this area probably already see Boundary City as a leech, wanting to eradicate it day and night.

into the night.

The fog in the city grew thicker, and the temperature dropped even lower.

This is not a good sign; it indicates that the formation's power is weakening. If the defenses aren't tightened, it may not be able to hold out for much longer.

Several primordial spirit warships in the city had already taken to the air, and the Thunder Pool was already overflowing with energy, ready to set off.

This is one of the most powerful divine weapons in the land of Zhuxia. In the past, the existence of the Yuan Shen warship would have given people peace of mind. But this time, however, they could not hide their unease, because the transportation to the border city had been completely blocked.

Given that so much time has passed and no reinforcements have arrived from the direction of Jiecheng, it's clear that the situation in Guifang Jiecheng is not necessarily good.

Canyon City is currently besieged by demons and ghosts. Due to its remote location, it is very likely to become an isolated city if the border city cannot provide support in time.

Fortunately, as everyone knows, the key to this war ultimately lies in the showdown between the top figures.

As long as Lord Guimingzi's battle remains unclear, everyone will not fall into the miserable situation of being casually killed by a high-level demon with a single palm strike.

On the main tower of the city wall, squads of soldiers in black robes and carrying swords stood guard, their eyes sharp and the atmosphere solemn.

Messages and orders were relayed from the city walls, and all forces stood ready for battle.

On the Jia Chen section of the city wall, a troop of guards also vigilantly patrolled the wall.

"Whoo~"

Captain Long Xiu exhaled a long breath of white air.

"The demon army did not attack the city yesterday, but something will definitely happen tonight. Everyone should be vigilant and not lose their lives due to carelessness."

"Yes, Captain."

"Let's split into two teams and take turns eating. Everyone, eat quickly."

He immediately ordered the meal to be served.

Vice-captain Jiang Han took out today's rations from his Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring. Li Chunfeng sat down on the city wall and ate a different kind of army meal. It was quite plentiful, steaming hot, and there was plenty of demon beast meat.

"Xiao Feng, here's your supplies. Three bottles of Spirit Returning Pills, use them sparingly."

Li Chunfeng quickly reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, Captain Jiang."

"You're welcome."

They were all strangers before, but a transfer order brought them together, yet there was no distance between them.

Their team consisted of twelve members, a combination of two cultivators and ten martial artists.

Captain Long Xiu is a Blood Refining Realm martial artist with rich combat experience and can hold his own. Vice Captain Jiang Han is a cultivator at the initial Burning Lamp Realm and takes good care of Li Chunfeng.

The squad's mission was to defend the several hundred meters of the city wall in Jia Chen section.

As a novice cultivator, Li Chunfeng was the last link in the tactical arrangement, positioned in the first line of defense under protection. His role in the team was to cast spells at the rear of the formation when danger arose.

He didn't try to be tough and honestly accepted the arrangement to be taken care of.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, three drums sounded from the city gate tower.

"It's a warning signal! The situation has changed! Form ranks quickly!" Long Xiu shouted.

Those brothers who hadn't finished eating should quickly put down their bowls and hold their ground.

"ignition!"

Another command was given. Li Chunfeng looked sharply into the distance and saw countless rockets rising into the sky and landing on the watchtowers outside the city walls.

Braziers were lit, and flames roared up, illuminating the Kuroshio area outside the city walls.

Tower after tower was set ablaze, connecting with one another to envelop the entire canyon city. If viewed from above, it would appear as a vast, undulating dragon of flames—a truly magnificent sight.

A solemn atmosphere prevailed on the city wall, and the mood was somewhat tense.

"Huh~"

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Li Suian's 'insight' suddenly swept towards the black tide.

"coming!"

He shouted, and the team instantly became alert.

Jiang Han glanced at Li Chunfeng in surprise, but remained silent. Several seconds later, the flames in the brazier on the watchtower began to erratically leap about. The orange-red flames also revealed a hint of green, and the black tide surged.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Han's pupils constricted involuntarily, and he subconsciously glanced again at Li Chunfeng at the very end of the group. "His perception is actually farther than mine? How is that possible?"

"Oh no, it's an aerial attack!"

Li Chunfeng shouted again, and Jiang Han finally noticed the enemy's presence. "It's the Black Soul Raven Formation. The Sky Shield is probably about to shrink."

The group was in a state of panic. Long Xiu's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "No retreating. Prepare for battle."

"Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!"

The thunderous sound of war drums spread out, the sound waves rippling like water.

The Yuan Shen warship was deployed, and a powerful light blast shot into the sky, illuminating the dense, dark array of Black Soul Crows.

Once the powerful naval cannons are fired, even a sixth-tier demon would lose half its life. Weaker ones would be blasted into dust.

However, the Yuan Shen warship is the greatest deterrent. Once the warship's Thunder Pool energy is exhausted, those demons and ghosts will have no more fear and will rush into the canyon city and slaughter everything.

However, this Thunder Pool is not irrecoverable; it depends on how abundant the reserves in the Canyon City are.

"Boom!"

Li Chunfeng only felt a devastating energy wave spread out, and a long rainbow streaked across the sky, like a bolt from the blue.

The clear, deep rainbow, like a pillar of light or a sword-like arc, cleaved through the night sky.

The massive swarm of Black Soul Ravens that had been surging forward was instantly vaporized, with tens of thousands of Black Soul Ravens turning into black smoke and dissipating into the sky.

The rainbow's remaining power was still strong as it landed in the distant canyon.

"Violent!"

A sharp, angry screech rang out, and Li Chunfeng felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

The 'Heart Lamp' activated instantly, and clarity was restored immediately.

However, some low-level cultivators immediately staggered and fell, and those with weak resistance even had blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, appearing drunk and almost falling off the city wall.

The Yuan Shen warship actually made its move so early.

The crowd was both surprised and delighted, realizing that at least a powerful sixth-order demon existed within the unseen black tide. Fortunately, the Yuan Shen warship lived up to its reputation, its power truly extraordinary.

The Black Soul Raven flock has been mostly destroyed.

Even the Black Soul Raven King could not escape its fate, unleashing a final, desperate attack that severely impacted the people in the city.

But the death of this king crow triggered a frenzied attack from the remaining Black Soul Crows.

Those who were prepared immediately displayed their unique abilities, some drawing their weapons and relying on the formation to prepare for battle.

Some used magical artifacts or talismans, while others summoned their natal demon pets or directly attacked with spells.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

The magic bell inside the rear city tower suddenly rang out sharply, and waves of energy spread out like a curtain of water.

When the black tide collided with the ripples of the Dharma Bell, it immediately emitted a "sizzling" sound, like cold water being poured into a hot oil pan. The distorted shadows could also be vaguely seen twisting and roaring under the radiance.

"The exorcism talisman is burning; there are ghosts present."

Jiang Han took out a natural talisman and shouted. With a wave of his hand, a handful of exorcism talismans flew out and landed on each martial artist.

"Don't panic, the exorcism talisman can help you identify ghosts."

Hundreds of invisible ghosts were illuminated as they passed by the brazier. These ghosts varied in shape, but most of them appeared as twisted, black smoke-like forms.

Just then, from the black tide below the city wall, bone spirit warriors began to climb the city wall with a series of cracking sounds.

Long Xiu's expression darkened. "I will lead the way. Maintain formation."

He turned to look at Jiang Han and Li Chunfeng, "I'll leave the ghosts to you guys. The rest of you, follow me to kill the bone spirits."

Jiang Han summoned his natal demon pet, a silver-winged demon wolf.

With a single breath, it spat out streaks of cyan wind blades into the air, distorting the black smoke from the Ghost Slash.

Seeing this, Li Chunfeng sighed inwardly, but without holding back, he flicked his index finger, and the lamp appeared above the boy's head. Trembling, the boy clutched his head and tried to hide behind him.

Phantom clone.

With a "whoosh," tens of thousands of clones appeared simultaneously, illuminating the night sky.

Under the radiant light of the Heart Lamp, the ghosts were struck as if by lightning, constantly twisting and evaporating. Black smoke and light struggled against each other, stirring up waves of energy. These ghosts were clearly in great pain under the Heart Lamp's light, yet they still charged towards the city wall under the radiance of the Heart Lamp's divided body.

next moment.

An endless stream of soul fireballs spewed out.

Jiang Han and the others were instantly stunned!
