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

Chapters 79 & 78: The Calamity of the Red Moon (Seeking monthly votes)

The darkness conceals endless dangers, with countless demons and ghosts pouncing out from unexpected places at any moment.

However, this place can also be an excellent place to hone one's spirit and will, develop potential, and put oneself in danger at all times, which is the best way to cultivate oneself.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

This is also why, once the war began, geniuses from various universities flocked to the Ghost Realm for training.

A gray mist surged ahead, obscuring visibility. This mist was extremely strange; it could even devour the very souls and thoughts of cultivators, affecting their perception as well. The flying boat had no choice but to reduce its speed and cautiously explore.

Just then, a gigantic skeletal beast burst through the gray mist without warning and appeared in front of the airship. Its body towered into the clouds, and its entire form could not be seen by looking up.

The airship landed instantly.

Xu Changliu happened to be carrying a magical artifact-grade Ghost Mist Veil that could shield one's aura. He tossed it into the air, enveloping the entire flying boat in it.

A deathly silence fell over the boat. Everyone held their breath, their concealment arrays activated to maximum power, watching the colossal beast ahead with trepidation. Chi Xuancai had already clutched a flower seed in her hand, ready to lead everyone to safety at any moment.

The skeletal beast rode the gray mist, its massive body landing silently. Each stride covered miles. Any stalagmites or giant trees along its path were easily crushed to dust upon impact.

This savage beast is dozens of times larger than the Corpse King. Its exact strength is unknown, but even though it is only at the first level, no one wants to touch it.

Fortunately, this skeletal beast seemed to have limited intelligence; at least its spiritual cultivation was low, and it failed to detect the flying boat that was so close at hand.

The group breathed a sigh of relief and remained still until all the gray fog had dissipated before continuing their journey.

This flight lasted for three whole days, with three Divine Embryo Realm cultivators taking turns piloting the flying boat.

Li Chunfeng, being only at the Burning Lamp Realm, found it quite difficult to control a magic-grade flying boat, so he followed Feng Yang and cultivated inside the cabin. However, he wasn't idle either; occasionally, when they encountered complex terrain and couldn't choose a path, his 'Heart Lamp Halo' came in very handy.

After three full days of flight, which is quite a distance given the speed of the airship, we still couldn't see the edge of the horizon.

It makes one wonder if the underground of the Ghost Realm is entirely a hollow world.

After flying for two more days, the compass still pointed steadily forward, but Li Chunfeng became restless and began pacing back and forth on the airship. However, the airship was only so big; a single walk around it only covered a few steps, so how far could he possibly go?

Everyone understood why Li Chunfeng was so restless. His abyssal energy had suddenly erupted, and the Abyssal Tribulation was imminent. The array spirit could calculate many things, but the Abyssal Tribulation was something it couldn't.

"Gentlemen, I may have to take my leave first."

The group exchanged glances, and Xu Changliu stopped the flying boat. The boat tore through the earth, creating an underground cave deep underground for temporary shelter. He said, "Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need to worry. We came together, so naturally we'll go back together."

Su Bai also said, "That's right. With your strength, Yuan Jie can't stop you. He'll just stay for a few more days."

Feng Yang held his sword with both hands and remained silent. Of the five people here, only he had not experienced the Abyss Tribulation and could not truly empathize with Li Chunfeng's plight, but he knew about Li Chunfeng's difficulties.

Chi Xuancai took out a seed and handed it to Li Chunfeng, saying, "In case of any changes, once you return, just activate this seed and I will come to pick you up."

Li Chunfeng accepted the seed and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute. Then, with a wave of his hand, he placed a wooden door onto the flying boat.

"Even if you need to move, you can take this door with you."

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he activated the boundary key to open the portal to Abyss City, stepped inside, and the hazy light gate disappeared, leaving only an ordinary wooden door.

Chi Xuancai found it amazing and even went up to touch it, only to find that it was indeed just an ordinary wooden door.

"Could this be... the legendary Abyss City portal behind the God-Slaying Ranking?"

Xu Changliu asked, "Have you heard of Fellow Daoist Chi?"

Su Bai looked at Xu Changliu, "Brother Xu, are you perhaps also on the God Tribulation Ranking?"

Xu Changliu sighed, "During the fifth Abyss Tribulation, I received a God-level rating and was fortunate enough to log into Abyss City. However, after descending into the Abyss, I was unable to continue receiving a God-level rating and was eliminated by Abyss City."

Su Bai was somewhat envious. "I've never received a 'Godlike' rating. I've always heard various legends about the Godlike Ranking. Brother Xu, could you enlighten us?"

Chi Xuancai's eyes were also full of curiosity.

Feng Yang said, "I am also very curious about your cultivators' Transcendent Tribulation Ranking. I wonder how it compares to the Celestial Court's Azure Cloud Ranking and Earthly Fiend Ranking?"

"Both sides have their strengths. However, the God-level Tribulation Ranking is more mysterious, and it is a place where elites from the three realms gather in one city. The difficulty of competing to become a God-level expert will undoubtedly be greater."

……

Li Chunfeng arrived in Yuancheng.

After replenishing his supplies with a few more bottles of pills at the trading center, he sent a message to Lu Yun'er.

A moment later, Lu Yun'er arrived in a flurry, "Weren't you on a mission? Why did this tribulation come so suddenly?"

Seeing her appear, Li Chunfeng's heart calmed down immediately. He smiled and said, "It's just a mere tribulation; I can overcome it with a wave of my hand. But you've been avoiding me these past few days. Why did you finally decide to come out today? Have you finally come to witness the divine soul pressure of a rogue cultivator in the Burning Lamp Realm?"

Lu Yun'er's lips twitched, and she was immediately speechless by Li Chunfeng's words. She slapped her forehead in frustration and said, "I shouldn't have come here."

I was in such a hurry that I forgot about it.

How did this guy cultivate? He's so much faster than me.

However, the fact that Li Chunfeng, that blockhead, could joke with me proves he's truly without pressure. But when did he develop such a wicked sense of humor, always insisting on comparing himself to others? Can't he just let a girl have her way?

"Even if you lose, you won't lose the battle," Lu Yun'er sneered. "Hmph, if you weren't about to undergo tribulation, I would definitely show you what it means to have combat power beyond your level. Entering the Divine Realm and fighting against the Burning Lamp is nothing new. Don't you even look at my ranking on the Divine Tribulation Ranking? I'm currently ranked 208th. What's your ranking?" Li Chunfeng glanced at his own ranking: 5,800th. Everyone's so eager, aren't they?

"They don't have much time left. When I return from my tribulation, everyone's ranking will drop by one place. I'm going now."

As he spoke, his figure began to fade.

Lu Yun'er quickly called out, "Don't forget the photo bead."

Welcome to the Abyss. You will undergo three tribulations, the difficulty of which is the first level of the Abyss. After ten tribulations, you will automatically descend into the Abyss!

[Location of Tribulation: Land of the Crimson Moon]

[This Trial Mode: Survival]

[Background: Under the ravages of the Crimson Moon, strange creatures lurk; beware of dark corners.]

When Li Chunfeng opened his eyes again, he saw a world of white.

He appeared in a valley, surrounded by steep, snow-covered cliffs, and the ground beneath his feet was also covered in ice and snow.

This appears to be a military camp; everyone around is dressed in uniform armor, and there are many soldiers training.

Main Quests: 1. Survive the Crimson Moon Calamity. 2. Kill at least 50 monsters.

(Task completed, reward 3000 Heavenly Coins.)
Side Quest: Not Triggered!

The background information for this calamity is exceptionally simple; the fewer the words, the more complex the situation, and everything must be explored on your own.

But Li Chunfeng accurately grasped the key point: "Survival mode!"

He is familiar with this.

As everyone knows, once all the monsters are killed, it means you're safe.

"Hey~"

A gust of wind rushed toward his face. Li Chunfeng instinctively turned to the side and reached out to grab a stone.

"Hey you brat over there, you can't even concentrate during training? You're asking for trouble." A red-nosed officer, reeking of alcohol, pointed angrily at him. "Someone like you who doesn't train properly will be lucky to survive one night when the Red Moon Calamity comes. If you don't train properly, get out of the training camp."

After he berated him for a while, he didn't take any further action and then continued to urge the training.

Li Chunfeng lifted the cross-shaped longsword in his hand; it was quite heavy.

Carefully recalling the remaining memories within this body: the red moon, the strange, the sorcerer, the knight, the breathing technique. And also a special temple of faith, the Pantheon.

Those who pass the temple's test will have the opportunity to receive direct blessings from the gods.

“The waters of this world are very deep,” Li Chunfeng said, intrigued.

Upon arrival, he did not do anything out of line and trained alongside the officers.

Red Nose grumbled, "Today I'm going to teach you all the Knight's Secret Technique. Thank the Red Moon Calamity, otherwise you fools would never have learned the Knight's Secret Technique in your entire lives. Watch closely, pay attention to the key points of the movements."

Li Chunfeng is currently an apprentice knight and has not yet learned the precious breathing technique. However, his physical condition seems to be quite good, at least equivalent to a Bone Refining Realm martial artist.

This is also related to the environment of this world. As long as you master the key points, you can quickly improve your physical fitness by supplementing your diet with monster meat.

"Combat Technique - Unleashing Full Sharpness!"

The red-nosed figure vanished instantly, reappearing a dozen meters away. His longsword unleashed a powerful sword aura, sending the specially made wooden stake flying. "Did you all see that clearly? Follow me and practice."

Amidst the cursing and swearing, the people below vigorously swung their swords.

"Using the speed of a high-speed charge, unleash a sword aura?"

Li Chunfeng recalled the key points and took a step in an instant.

"Sa!"

His body instantly sprinted ten meters away, and his long sword unleashed a sword aura over ten feet long.

The entire room fell silent, and the red-nosed man stared at him in surprise.

Li Chunfeng was also stunned; what a powerful strike!

He hadn't expected to unleash this move so easily. Moreover, just as he unleashed that sword strike, a golden rune flashed and disappeared.

If he weren't a cultivator, he probably would have already overlooked this.

"Hey kid over there, who taught you this move?"

"No."

"No? You're kidding me. Come on, watch this move." Red Nose became interested and continued to teach the next move.
