Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

Chapter 215 First Merit
"Sister Qingshang, Brother He, you deal with those two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, I'll handle the late-Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Zhou Ling, surrounded by flames, addressed Wang Qingshang and the other person.

With the Blood Fiend Soul Array broken, Zhou Ling's confidence also increased greatly.

I didn't want to be the one to stick my neck out.

But the sheer number of blood-soaked corpses in the valley at this moment also infuriated him.

We absolutely cannot allow these three remnants of the Blood Soul Cult to escape this place.

Otherwise, how many more cultivators in Qingyang Immortal City would suffer, especially ordinary rogue cultivators?

Moreover, his parents are also in Qingyun Immortal City, so these three must be eliminated.

At this moment, Zhou Ling no longer held back.

"Zhou Ling, he's in the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

Hearing these words, Wang Qingshang saw Zhou Ling's murderous aura. Although she knew that Zhou Ling could control five spiritual flames and had a great advantage against the remnants of the Blood Soul Cult, she was still shocked.

But I still spoke up to remind them.

"Don't worry, Sister Qingshang! I will definitely kill this man!"

Zhou Ling looked serious and said decisively.

Wang Qingshang was immediately surprised.

Although she hadn't had many interactions with Zhou Ling, she knew he wasn't one to speak without reason.

But the opponent is a late-stage Foundation Establishment Soul Cultivator, whose strength is not simple.

Even if she were to face them, she wouldn't be guaranteed a win.

After all, the remnants of the Blood Soul Cult have unpredictable and treacherous methods that are difficult to guard against.

Moreover, this is their main base, and it's unknown whether there are other blood-fiend formations here.

However, after breaking through the third-tier Blood Fiend Soul Array and killing many blood corpses, Zhou Ling did not suffer much loss.

On the contrary, they even dared to take the initiative to attack a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, wanting to kill him, which was simply astonishing.

However, she knew that Zhou Ling was a Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing the strength to contend with those in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Then, considering that Zhou Ling possessed five spiritual flames, he must have been confident in his ability to do so.

Moreover, Lingyan has an advantage over her sword qi attacks in dealing with the remnants of the Blood Soul Cult.

Thinking this, she nodded and said, "Then you'd better be careful!"

"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"

"Attack me all at once! I will surely refine you into blood corpses!"

The Blood Soul Cult leader's face turned ashen as he saw how contemptuous the two of them were towards him.

After all, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Yet, the way these two juniors spoke made it seem as if they could manipulate him at will.

"I'm enough to deal with you on my own."

Zhou Ling snorted coldly, his expression revealing confidence.

"If you're in such a hurry to be reincarnated, then go die."

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy. He raised the Blood Fiend Seal in his hand and poured his magic power into it.

Instantly, an incredibly dense crimson light condensed, its blood energy surging. Within the crimson light, a blood dragon several tens of feet long emerged, baring its fangs and claws, and pressing down on Zhou Linggai with overwhelming force.

At the same time, a scorching flame shot out from Zhou Ling's hand.

The scorching flames coalesced into a phantom of the Haoyang Bird, releasing an aura that could incinerate everything.

The ferocious blood dragon was continuously disintegrating under the scorching flames of the beast fire.

"It was actually blocked!"

The middle-aged man's expression froze, knowing that this was a second-tier high-grade spiritual weapon.

But it was actually blocked by a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

The middle-aged man's expression changed. He was about to increase the amount of magic power he poured into the blood dragon to enhance its power, but the beast flames rose violently, far exceeding his expectations.

He wanted to use the blood seal to kill Zhou Ling.

However, the attack of the blood dragon formed by the blood seal did not have the advantage as expected, and it continued to dissipate under the attack of the beast flames.

At the same time, Wang Qingshang and He Zijian also brandished their swords and charged towards the other two Blood Soul Sect cultivators.

Wang Qingchang's sword aura flashed with azure light, its power extremely astonishing.

The Blood Soul Cult disciple looked solemn and chanted an incantation. The wooden coffins on the ground glowed with blood-red light and bombarded the sword beam.

Rumble!
As the sword flashed, coffins exploded one after another.

On the other side, He Zijian's thunderous sword light clashed with several blood corpses.

Amidst flashes of lightning, one bloody corpse after another was blasted to pieces.

However, He Zijian also expended a considerable amount of energy.

After all, these blood corpses were significantly strengthened by the surrounding blood demons.

But He Zijian dared not hold back.

Of the three, his opponent is now the weakest.

If that still doesn't work, then it will seriously hinder the team!
However, his magical power had already been significantly depleted from the battle against the blood corpse.

As the opponent charged in, controlling three second-tier blood corpses.

His thunderous sword energy was repeatedly blocked by the blood corpse.

The blood-soaked corpse lunged at him, spraying blood and evil energy, and he could only keep retreating.

puff puff!

Fortunately, at that moment, a cyan sword light flashed, and the two blood corpse leaders were thrown into the air.

Wang Qingshang also noticed He Zijian's predicament and unleashed two sword energies, killing the two blood-soaked corpses that lunged at him.

He Zijian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dealing with the remaining second-tier blood corpse became much easier.

Rumble!
On the other side, Zhou Ling controlled the Beast Flame, constantly pressuring his opponent.

"Boy, I never expected that a mere Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivator like you would possess such combat power!"

The middle-aged man said with a horrified expression.

Although the opponent's control over the spirit flame was of a high grade, Zhou Ling was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

I originally thought he couldn't possibly keep fighting the Blood Seal for long.

Despite several attacks, Zhou Ling and Ling Yan's power remained undiminished.

This greatly shocked him.

Then, he chanted an incantation, and a stream of magical power flowed into the underground coffin.

Immediately, a swishing sound rang out.

The coffin lids flew off the coffins.

Inside the coffin, thick streams of bloodthirsty energy emanated.

As the middle-aged man chanted the incantation, streams of dense blood energy were absorbed into the blood seal.

The already extremely weak blood dragon suddenly burst forth with crimson light.

His body suddenly grew even larger.

For a time, they were even locked in a stalemate with the beast flames.

"Blood Dragon Condensation!"

As a large amount of blood-fiend energy surged into the blood seal from within the blood coffin, another blood dragon, several dozen feet long, condensed and pounced towards Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened; there was a large amount of bloodthirsty energy inside the wooden coffin.

Not only was his cultivation level much higher than his, but he was also able to activate the Blood Seal by using this blood-fiend energy.

It can be said that with this bloodthirsty aura, this person's combat power will be greatly enhanced.

"Five Elements Spirit Flame Formation, destroy it!"

Zhou Ling also shouted sharply and waved his hands.

The other four spiritual flames shot out.

Five spiritual flames condensed in mid-air to form a Five Elements Flame Array.

They surrounded the two blood dragons and the middle-aged man.

Under normal circumstances, he would not need to condense the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array.

Generally speaking, the Five Elements Sword Formation has a more powerful attack.

However, the opponent was a Blood Fiend Soul Cultivator, and also had a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Therefore, the Five Elements Sword Formation is definitely not as lethal as the Five Elements Flame Formation.

"Five Rank Three Spirit Flames?"

Upon seeing the five spiritual flames, the middle-aged man was startled and cried out.

He could clearly feel that as the five spiritual flames condensed into the Five Elements Spiritual Flame Array, they released an aura that terrified him.

I never imagined that someone could collect five spirit flames! Moreover, the five spirit flames have different five elements attributes and can be condensed into a five-element spirit flame array.

This formation was actually created by a teenager.

And I even ran into him.

What the fuck!

Faced with the terrifying pressure of the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array, he immediately had the idea of ​​retreating.

Unfortunately, they were surrounded by spiritual flames and had nowhere to escape.

"Five Elements Spiritual Flame Descends!"

Zhou Ling recited an incantation and pointed his hand at the five spiritual flames.

Beast Flame, Azure Lotus Spirit Flame, Earth Spirit Fire, Mysterious Ice Crystal Flame, and Qianyang True Fire erupted simultaneously.

It burst forth with dazzling five-colored flames.

The five spiritual flames were connected, and the flames spread across the sky and swept through the void, completely enveloping the middle-aged man.

"Break it for me!"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man with a gloomy face immediately activated his own essence and blood, merging it into the blood seal.

Feeling a tremendous threat, he had no choice but to forcibly use his own life essence to enhance the power of the blood seal.

It coalesced into a gigantic blood dragon, tens of feet long.

They wanted to break through the encirclement of the Five Elements Spirit Flames.

However, the Five Elements Spiritual Flames formed an array, with flames and light sweeping across the land, the raging fire surging endlessly.

Its power was astonishing, directly annihilating the incoming blood dragon.

"Destroy!"

Zhou Ling manipulated the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array, condensing a series of flame attacks that continuously bombarded the middle-aged man.

As the blood dragon was destroyed, the middle-aged man's expression became even more solemn. He formed hand seals, and blood light surged around his body, forming a blood power shield.

At the same time, he gritted his teeth and sprayed another mouthful of blood into the blood seal.

Another enormous blood dragon materialized, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, its power even greater than the previous blood dragon.

He never imagined that he, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, would be forced to continuously burn his essence and blood by a mere first-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, under the onslaught of the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array, both the Blood Dragon and the Blood Qi Shield were instantly shattered.

Zhou Ling then formed hand seals and fully activated the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array.

The power of the five spiritual flames erupted simultaneously.

"Boom boom boom!"

The true power of the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array began to materialize.

Beast Flame is like the blazing sun, Azure Lotus Spirit Flame is like a blooming azure lotus, Earth Spirit Earth Fire is like an earth tortoise, and Profound Ice Crystal Flame is like a flawless, crystal-clear ice flower.

The True Fire of Qianyang is like a fiery dragon.

Five flames converged, condensing into a five-colored fire dragon. The flames sprayed out, instantly incinerating the blood dragon and shattering the blood-colored protective shield.

However, seeing that the situation was not going well, the middle-aged man also summoned a blood shield.

The crimson shield materialized into a mountain of blood, ready to block the fire dragon's attack.

But faced with the powerful attack of the fire dragon, it exploded instantly.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"With all our methods thwarted one after another," the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.

He chanted the incantation, and instantly a blood-red rune appeared on his forehead.

The crimson runes and crimson light continued to solidify.

At the same time, the middle-aged man's body continued to grow thinner.

This is a blood talisman planted in his body, which is nourished by blood and qi, and its quality is continuously improved.

And with the help of his essence and blood, the power of the blood talisman will also increase dramatically.

The middle-aged man lost a third of his body weight.

The next moment, a lifelike blood dragon condensed on the blood talisman, roaring ferociously and exuding a terrifying aura, making people tremble with fear.

"A third-tier blood talisman?"

Although Zhou Ling did not recognize the blood talisman, the [Intermediate Observation] skill appeared.

He immediately learned about the blood talisman.

They actually possess such a third-tier treasure.

The opponent was at the late Foundation Establishment stage and activated the blood talisman with his own essence and blood, making it extremely powerful.

Rumble!
The fiery dragon and the blood dragon clashed fiercely in the air.

brush!
Zhou Ling dared not be careless, and the Five Elements Profound Yang Sword in his hand flew out.

He poured all his spiritual power into it.

A sword slashed down heavily.

Instantly, fiery sword energy surged forth and slashed down towards the blood dragon.

Rumble!
Under the combined bombardment of the fire dragon and the fire cloud sword, the blood dragon finally collapsed.

The fiery dragon, still brimming with power, lunged straight down at the middle-aged man.

"No!"

With a scream, the middle-aged man's body was completely annihilated by the sword's light.

Flames surged and rippled, releasing waves of heat that swept in all directions.

The entire valley shook violently under this force.

However, the aura of the five spiritual flames has clearly weakened at this moment, and it may take some time for them to recover.

"What a terrifying power!"

Inside the valley, Wang Qingshang and her two companions, who had already killed the other two Blood Soul Cult cultivators, watched this scene with shock and disbelief in their eyes.

Wang Qingchang never expected that Zhou Ling, who was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, would actually kill the Blood Soul Sect leader, who was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

I had originally planned to lend him a hand.

I didn't expect it to be so clean and efficient.

After all, defeating a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and killing them are completely different concepts.

Zhou Ling actually possessed five Five Elements Spirit Flames, and he was even able to condense these spirit flames into a battle formation.

The commemorative jade, which had watched Zhou Ling compete in the inner courtyard of Xuan Yuan Dao Academy, already thought he was quite formidable.

Unexpectedly, he still held back.

It's incredible.

"At the age of fourteen, he has achieved the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment, the Second Realm Sword Cultivator, the Second Rank Swordsmith, and the Second Rank Puppet Master, and he has condensed five spiritual flames. How did he do it?"

Even Wang Qingshang, who was born into a wealthy family, was amazed by Zhou Ling's performance at this moment.

Even if he were a disciple of a wandering cultivator, it would be difficult for someone from a noble family, someone with exceptional talent, to achieve such a feat.

Moreover, Zhou Ling is only fourteen years old, which is truly shocking.

Even in Qingyang Immortal City, she had never seen such a stunning person.

He Zijian was equally shocked.

He knew Zhou Ling's strength all too well from childhood to adulthood.

Moreover, he never looked down on Zhou Ling.

But unexpectedly, after more than a year...

Zhou Ling's cultivation has become so powerful that he can kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Zhou Ling didn't think too much about it, walked over, and picked up a storage ring from the ground.

However, he also knew that those he had killed were remnants of the Blood Soul Cult.

Wang Qingshang and others were also present.

He definitely couldn't keep this storage ring for himself.

However, I am still quite satisfied with the power of the Five Elements Spirit Flame Array I just created.

With the Five Elements Spirit Flame Formation, and the Five Elements Sword Formation assisting it, the power will be increased even further.

Of course, the battle just now not only consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but also a lot of his internal mana.

However, killing this late-stage Foundation Establishment Blood Soul Cult remnant should earn at least several dozen military merits.

Adding in the blood corpses, the military merit rewards for this trip are quite considerable.

He then walked towards Wang Qingshang and said with a smile, "Sister Qingshang, this is the storage ring of the Blood Soul Cult leader!"

"Good, you deserve the greatest credit for wiping out the Blood Soul Cult's stronghold this time!"

Wang Qingshang accepted the storage ring, smiling and nodding in praise.
