Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

The Blazing Sun Flame, like a golden rain of swords, relentlessly pierced through the Mist Array and then fiercely struck the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's body.

Under the barrage of swords, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan screamed in agony. Just as Commander Zhang had said, flames were the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's nemesis.

This fourth-tier Fiery Mist Array was utterly ineffective against the Blazing Sun Heavenly Flame.

Of course, it would be difficult to achieve such an effect with just ordinary fifth-order spirit flames.

The Blazing Sun Flame is a fusion of the seventh-tier Golden Soul Blazing Sun Flame and the sword intent of the Sun Immortal Sword.

This level of power is far beyond what ordinary fifth-tier spirit flames can achieve.

Its speed was extremely fast, completely exceeding the expectations of the two fourth-tier golden-eyed spirit race members.

By the time they tried to unite their soul domains to fight back, it was too late.

The blood domain that had been formed could no longer stop the Blazing Sun Flame in the slightest.

They were swiftly and decisively killed.

Moreover, the blazing sun's flames transformed into a golden rain of swords, inflicting heavy casualties on other Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members.

The others who followed Zhou Ling's charge were also greatly encouraged.

"I want to see just how powerful this Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan really is!"

Seeing Zhou Linghao's Sunburning Heavenly Flame display such terrifying strength, Qi Jianzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He charged ahead of the other Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members.

Having followed Zhou Ling throughout the Sword Qi Great Wall, he knew all too well that now was the perfect time to reap the rewards of his labor.

The lightning ball he had prepared beforehand was unleashed.

Although the others charged out at the same time, it was their first time facing the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan, so they weren't as fast.

Only Qi Jianzhi saw the opportunity first and immediately sped up the process.

As for Yu Tian and the others, they had never seen the power of the Blazing Sun Flame before, and now they found it even more unbelievable.

Zhou Ling's terrifying strength once again shocked them.

"How many tricks does this kid have up his sleeve?"

Yan Yutian originally thought that although he was temporarily behind Zhou Ling, he would definitely have a chance to surpass Zhou Ling again as his cultivation improved.

But now it seems like the distance between me and Zhou Ling is getting further and further away.

"Brothers, kill these Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members!"

Qi Jianzhi shouted loudly.

As Qi Jianzhi's voice fell, the others also launched their attacks.

Feng Lan waved her hand, and the sword in her hand unleashed a streak of green wood sword energy, whistling as it slashed towards a third-tier golden-eyed spirit.

Yan Yutian then condensed a thunderous handprint, which swept across the sky and bombarded the two third-tier golden-eyed spirit race members.

Others were equally unwilling to be outdone, and each used their own methods.

Various violent attack beams rained down simultaneously, creating an extremely powerful pressure.

"Boom!"

Those Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members had already suffered considerable casualties from the sudden onslaught of the Blazing Sun Blazing Sword Qi.

But it came so suddenly that they hadn't even fully reacted yet.

The two leaders have already been killed.

After all, the human cultivators inside the stronghold had never launched an attack in the past.

They simply stayed huddled inside the camp.

But this time, the counterattack is more ferocious than ever before.

Although the golden sword rain was not primarily aimed at them, it still caused them considerable damage.

But the golden rain of swords had just dissipated.

Then, a series of violent bolts of lightning roared down.

These are all the nemesis of their Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.

There was no chance of escape now.

They could only wield their bone weapons, their foreheads radiating a blood-red, malevolent light, as they fought the charging human cultivators.

"Boom!"

Qi Jianzhi instantly shot out five third-tier lightning balls from his hand. The lightning pillars roared, and purple lightning intertwined, with earth-shattering power.

It was almost as if a single lightning ball killed a Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan member. In a short while, eight Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members were killed by it.

Qi Jianzhi was overjoyed, and his military merits soared on the very first day.

But when he was about to unleash the lightning ball in his hand again, all twenty-odd Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members had already been killed.

"This Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan member doesn't seem very strong. It feels like there's not enough of a killer for them!"

Qi Jianzhi said, somewhat reluctantly.

Such a good opportunity naturally calls for accumulating more military merits.

But the others aren't slow either.

However, he was the one who killed the most.

Even with their astonishing strength, Feng Lan and Yan Yutian each managed to kill four Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members.

There were only one or two other people.

After all, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan primarily relies on blood and soul attacks.

Their Blood Soul Domain was shattered by the Blazing Sun Flame, and without the suppression of the Fiery Mist, their combat power naturally plummeted.

In addition, they were caught off guard by the attack.

That's why they suffered such a crushing defeat.

"What's happening here?"

"I saw that right."

"These cultivators from the Dao Alliance are simply too terrifying."

"How could Zhou Zhishou, a mere Golden Core cultivator, control a fifth-tier spiritual flame and so easily kill a fourth-tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan member? Truly worthy of being the leader of the Dao Alliance!"

"Tsk tsk, that's terrifying. I hadn't even had time to react before two fourth-tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Race members were killed. Good riddance, it avenged Old Zhu and the others."

"Now I understand why Chief Zhou was able to become Chief at such a young age. His strength is truly terrifying."

The cultivators stationed inside the defensive barrier were all shocked by what they saw.

Having been at the stronghold for several months, they knew the strength of these golden-eyed spirits better than anyone.

Even the two commanders were not confident of victory against two mid-stage fourth-tier golden-eyed spirit race members.

But with just one strike, Zhou Ling finished him off.

This is probably at the Nascent Soul level of combat power.

Yesterday, people were quite curious about this new leader.

Many others expressed dissatisfaction.

Everyone here is at the Golden Core stage.

Why is Zhou Ling already the high and mighty leader?

They were merely monks stationed at the outpost.

There is a huge gap between their status and Zhou Ling's.

He was extremely dissatisfied.

They assumed Zhou Ling had powerful backers.

That's why he was able to become the leader of the Dao Alliance at such a young age and with such cultivation.

But now that people have seen Zhou Ling's terrifying strength, they all understand.

Zhou Ling's talent is truly astonishing.

After all, the fact that a Golden Core cultivator can control a fifth-order spiritual flame is enough to illustrate the point.

Of course, seeing how easily they had annihilated these Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members who had terrified them, they were even more excited and began to look at Zhou Ling and his group with new respect.

In the past few months, quite a few cultivators have been killed by these golden-eyed spirits.

They harbored intense hatred for the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.

"Boss, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan has been completely wiped out."

"This time we got off to a great start. All thirty Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members were sent to be reincarnated without exception."

"None of us are injured."

Qi Jianzhi surveyed the battlefield and excitedly told Zhou Ling.

The others also returned to Zhou Ling's side.

The way they looked at Zhou Ling was even more admiring.

"it is good."

"I was hoping to have a chance to practice the sword formation, but I didn't expect these Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members to be so weak," Zhou Ling said with a smile.

However, he did it to boost morale.

Through [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he also knew that these Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan members were not easy to deal with.

It was only because their blood domain was shattered by the Blazing Sun Flame that they were defeated in this way.

"Chief Zhou, this is all thanks to your Spirit Flame."

"With such a powerful fifth-tier spirit flame, it will be much safer to deal with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan in the future."

"Otherwise, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan's blood soul attack is all-pervasive and impossible to defend against."

Then Commander Zhang and his men came to Zhou Ling's side and spoke to him.

This battle allowed him to truly witness the formidable fighting power of Zhou Ling and his group.

The strength of the Dao Alliance's prodigies is still quite astonishing.

This would mean they have completely given their approval.

"Commander Zhang, the evil mist in this area has been removed. Next, we need to set up the magic array as soon as possible."

Zhou Ling nodded and spoke to Commander Zhang.

"Yes, take the head."

"I will immediately arrange the deployment and expand the defensive array."

Commander Zhang cupped his hands in greeting.

They have been at this stronghold for almost half a year, and they have only expanded the area by a little over a hundred zhang, while losing more than a hundred lives.

However, Zhou Ling and his group had already expanded their territory to several hundred square feet in less than a day after arriving here.

That's several times more than what they've done in the past six months.

However, in these areas not shrouded in malevolent mist, magic arrays must be set up as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it won't be long before we're shrouded in the evil mist again.

"These evil mists were burned away by my spiritual flames, and they won't recover so quickly in a short time."

"How long will it take to set up the magic array in this area?"

Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Now he has found a better way to remove this evil mist.

Use the spiritual flame to dispel these evil mists.

The Blazing Sun Flame swept past with a whoosh, completely incinerating all the evil mist.

The Blazing Sun Flame didn't consume much energy.

It can be said to be the natural nemesis of these evil mists.

At this rate, if the Blazing Sun Flame can carve out an area of ​​one mile in radius every day, it will have the territory to establish a small immortal city in about ten days.

However, considering that the evil mist will quickly re-condense.

Therefore, we must wait until the magic array is set up to completely isolate the evil mist before we can continue to remove it.

Commander Zhang said, "Reporting to Chief, this area is over a mile in circumference, and it will take about a day to set up the formation."

"The land here is constantly tainted by evil mist, and we need to cleanse it before setting up the formation, so it's not that fast."

"First, we need to dispel the evil energy underground, then set up a magic array. This way, if we find a spiritual vein later, we can form a celestial city suitable for our human race to cultivate."

The purpose of expanding beyond the realm is to establish immortal cities suitable for human habitation and cultivation, thereby seeking out starfield resources.

In the early stages, a large amount of resources need to be invested.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded and said seriously, "Commander Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Brothers, please work hard today and set up the magic array as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow I will remove the evil mist from a radius of one mile, and everyone should hurry up and set up the magic array."

"In this way, we will be able to expand our stronghold to a radius of ten miles in less than half a month."

"That would provide the foundation for establishing a celestial city."

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang's eyes flashed with joy. He had assumed that Ling Yan must have expended a great deal of energy during his powerful attack.

But if Zhou Ling says that, then the consumption must not be much.

If he could indeed expand to a radius of ten miles within half a month and begin building a celestial city, it would be a great achievement for him.

He then said with a wary expression, "Chief Zhou, the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan will definitely not let this go so easily after their stronghold has been destroyed. We need to be even more careful from now on."

Based on his more than ten years of experience in the Youyun Starfield, he also had some understanding of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.

This stronghold has now been destroyed.

They will definitely retaliate fiercely.

Therefore, we need to be even more careful.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded and smiled easily, "I'm just afraid they won't come."

"As long as we speed up the elimination of evil spirits, without the suppression of evil spirit mist, the blood soul attack of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan will pose a much smaller threat."

"This is much easier than risking our lives to find them."

"Everyone needs to be better prepared to deal with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan who come knocking."

If Zhou Ling had said this at the beginning, Commander Zhang would definitely have dismissed it with disdain.

But this time he was convinced from the bottom of his heart, and immediately said to Deputy Commander Gu, "Brother Gu, quickly tell the brothers to set up the formation."

"Yes, Commander."

Vice Commander Gu cupped his hands in reply.

He immediately shouted to the cultivators behind him, "Brothers of the Array Battalion, hurry up and get to work!"

"The brothers in the combat battalion are responsible for patrolling."

Immediately, five cultivators stepped forward and began setting up array flags around the area.

The other two teams of monks were responsible for patrolling the surrounding area.

Commander Zhang personally led the team.

He was also worried that members of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan might launch another sneak attack.

He could only feel at ease after the magic circle was established.

Zhou Ling looked at Feng Lan and said, "Feng Lan, you also take some people and set up the Azure Lotus Sword Formation."

"If the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan does indeed come, we will be better able to deal with it."

"it is good."

Feng Lan nodded slightly, and then led Pei Qingshuang and the others to set up the formation.

With a thought, Zhou Ling conjured the Blazing Sun Flame into a stream of light, which landed in his hand.

There were also two bone rings, which belonged to the two mid-stage fourth-tier golden-eyed spirit race members.

Zhou Ling put the bone ring into his pocket, intending to refine it later that night.

"Boss, this is the bone ring of the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan that we collected. What should we do with it?"

At this moment, Qi Jianzhi walked over with a pile of bone rings in his hands and smiled at Zhou Ling.

"Whoever kills him gets to keep him."

"Also, if you have any blood-replenishing medicine, you can give it to me to refine pills, or exchange it for other items."

Zhou Ling said directly.

On this desolate, rocky planet, shrouded in malevolent mist, elixirs and spirit stones are the primary means of replenishing magical power.

The stronghold was equipped with a spirit-gathering array, which made things a little better.

However, once they go out, they will not have any elixirs or spirit stones to restore their magical power.

That would be extremely dangerous.

"Thank you, boss!"

Qi Jianzhi immediately smiled with delight.

He killed the most, and Bone Ring also accounted for the largest number of those killed.

If Zhou Ling says that, then he's going to make another fortune.

The others were equally pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

Everyone knows how important the elixirs and spirit stones will be next.

Since Zhou Ling can use blood medicine to refine pills, it will definitely be of great help.

Moreover, Zhou Ling was able to use his spiritual flames to dispel the evil mist, which made everyone's task much easier.

Immediately, Zhou Ling didn't rest either. He walked to the edge of the evil mist and continued to observe its condition with the help of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].

Make thorough preparations for exorcising evil spirits tomorrow.

Qi Jianzhi and the others then assisted Feng Lan in setting up the sword formation. (End of Chapter)
