Chapter 199 Suppressing the Purple Flame Firebird (Please Subscribe!)
Lu Jingkun and other talented cultivators from the Lu family knew that they possessed life-saving powers left to them by Lu Cheng'an, so they had few reservations when fighting against those demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators.

Their inherent strength was already extremely formidable, and in this state, they unleashed even greater power.

On the battlefield, Lu Jingkun raised three earthen-yellow battle flags.

This is a first-grade superior Xuanhuang Earth Origin Flag. These three flags form a first-grade superior spiritual array, the Xuanhuang Earth Origin Array.

Lu Jingkun is a first-tier high-grade spirit array master. He cultivates the fifth-tier Nascent Soul cultivation technique, the Earthly Jade Book, and possesses extraordinary talent.

He combined the Xuanhuang Earth Origin Array with the Earthly Jade Book of his cultivation techniques, unleashing an extremely powerful force.

The Xuanhuang Diyuan Formation combines offense and defense. After Lu Jingkun activated the formation, a yellowish-brown mist spread out, covering an area of ​​several feet around him.

The earthy yellow mist swept over the four first-tier demonic beasts; two were in the middle stage of first-tier, and two were in the late stage of first-tier.

Lu Jingkun didn't even have to make a move with those two mid-stage first-tier demonic beasts; as the Xuanhuang Earth Origin Formation was activated, he directly suppressed and killed them.

Those two late-stage first-tier demonic beasts were relatively powerful, especially the blue demonic wolf, whose strength was comparable to a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Jingkun struck out, and a palm print condensed within the Xuanhuang Earth Element Array, pressing down on the slightly weaker late-stage first-tier demon beast.

At the same time, he took out a dark yellow magic seal from his storage bag. This was the Yellow Heaven Seal, a first-grade high-level attack magic weapon.

The Yellow Heaven Seal was extremely powerful. After Lu Jingkun summoned this first-grade high-level magic weapon, it emitted a dark yellow light, which intertwined with the surging mist in the Xuanhuang Earth Origin Array and directly smashed into the head of the blue wolf demon.

With a cracking sound, the wolf demon, comparable to a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator, was directly smashed to death by the Yellow Heaven Seal.

This is the advantage of being born into a cultivation sect; they have easier access to cultivation resources.

Take Lu Jingkun for example. The Xuanhuang Diyuan Formation and Huangtian Seal in his possession are both very valuable. Without the support of the Lu family's resources, it would be difficult for him to obtain these treasures.

After killing the four first-tier demonic beasts in the Xuanhuang Diyuan Formation, Lu Jingkun quickly collected their corpses and then activated the Xuanhuang Diyuan Formation again, sweeping away the four first-tier demonic beasts once more.

Not only Lu Jingkun, but also Lu Jinglin, Lu Jingxiu and other genius cultivators of the Lu family unleashed extremely powerful forces, and one after another first-tier demon beasts and spirit race cultivators died at their hands.

The outcome of this battle cannot be determined by the victories or defeats among these low-level cultivators; the key to the result lies with the Golden Core cultivators, such as Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an was extremely powerful. Even when facing the combined attack of the Azure Flame Lion and the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, two third-tier demonic beasts, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position at all.

Instead, he used the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire to burn the Azure Flame Fire Pearl, a third-tier mid-grade magic weapon summoned by the Azure Flame Fire Lion, causing the Azure Flame Fire Lion to roar repeatedly, but it had no way to deal with Lu Cheng'an.

After fighting the Devouring Python Toad and the White Jade Elephant for some time, both Golden Core cultivators, Chongxu and Longshi, were at a disadvantage.

Especially Chongxu, although he has the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he was severely injured by Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu, and has not yet fully recovered his strength.

Although the Devouring Python Golden Toad's cultivation level was only at the early stage of the third rank, its strength was extremely formidable. After the Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique was used, the attack released by True Person Chongxu was instantly neutralized by the Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique.

Furthermore, the Golden Toad that swallows pythons contains potent toxins, and it also possesses a demonic technique called the Hurricane Technique.

This demonic technique is not as powerful as the Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique, but it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Because this sorcery contains the potent toxins from the Devouring Python Toad, cultivators attacked by this sorcery are at risk of having their bodies invaded by the deadly poison if they are not careful.

Lingxuan didn't feel too much pressure activating the Sun and Moon Mirror Array. This array was of a high grade of the third rank and was supported by four fourth-rank spiritual veins from Crimson Smoke Mountain.

The White Jade Elephant and the Earth-Covering Dragon Earthworm, two early-stage third-tier demonic beasts, are not particularly powerful. With their strength, they have virtually no chance of breaking through the Sun and Moon Mirror Formation.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies with the Devouring Python Toad and the True Man Chongxu. Once the True Man Chongxu is severely injured by the Devouring Python Toad, the Devouring Python Toad will be able to free up its hands to support the other third-tier demon races, at which point the stalemate will change dramatically!

Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique!

The hyoid bone was pierced!

The Golden Toad, emanating from its mouth, let out an angry roar. It pushed the Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique to its limit, and a black hole the size of a millstone spread out from behind it.

The moment this black hole appeared, it instantly swallowed all of Chongxu Zhenren's attacks.

At the same time, a blood-red light shot out from the mouth of the Python-Swallowing Golden Toad.

This crimson light was the tongue of the Devouring Python Golden Toad, which was covered with crimson runes. This tongue, refined by the Devouring Python Golden Toad, was even more powerful than a low-grade third-tier magic weapon.

The blood-red tongue moved with lightning speed, stabbing directly at Chongxu Zhenren's chest.

True Man Chongxu was, after all, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. He reacted instantly and immediately summoned a mid-grade third-tier dark gold talisman.

This is a mid-grade, third-tier defensive talisman. It can withstand three full-force attacks from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, making it extremely valuable.

Although the power contained in the tongue of the Python-Swallowing Golden Toad was extremely strong, it still failed to break through the defense of the third-tier mid-grade defensive talisman.

At this moment, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, which was fighting with Lu Cheng'an, suddenly changed direction and attacked Chongxu Zhenren, and the most powerful attack it used was the Burning Heaven Demon Art.

A cold light flashed in Lu Cheng'an's eyes, and the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire spread out, the pale blue flames instantly blocking the purple flames released from the Purple Flame Firebird's body.

Lu Cheng'an did want Chongxu Zhenren to die, but this was not the time.

Once Master Chongxu is killed by the combined efforts of the Purple Flame Firebird and the Devouring Python Golden Toad, two third-tier demonic beasts, the balance between them and other third-tier demonic beasts will be broken.

"court death!"

The Azure Flame Lion let out an angry roar. It seemed to have used some secret technique, and the aura emanating from its body more than doubled the moment the roar ended.

Then, a huge blue lion's head emerged from his massive body. The blue lion's head had its eyes closed, but at a certain moment, its closed eyes suddenly opened.

An extremely oppressive aura was released from the blue lion head, and then the huge blue lion head slammed into Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an's face was full of solemnity. He tried his best to resist, but his attack was shattered after only a moment under the pressure of the blue lion head.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an was violently thrown back, blood gushing from his mouth, suffering extremely serious injuries. "You lowly human, you actually forced me to burn my bloodline power! I will devour you!"

The Azure Flame Lion roared, its burning bloodline power drawing upon a sliver of the Azure Lion Demon King's strength.

The Azure Lion Demon King is a late-stage fourth-order demon beast, comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Even a mere trace of its power is far beyond what Lu Cheng'an can withstand.

This method can only be used by fourth-order demonic beasts, and after using it, the Azure Flame Lion will also have to bear a great backlash.

The Azure Flame Lion opened its massive maw, and a bluish-gray light roared out from its mouth, sweeping towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

This is a demonic technique called the Devouring Spirit Technique, mastered by the Azure Flame Lion. Although it is not as powerful as the Lesser Devouring Heaven Technique of the Devouring Python Golden Toad, its power is still extremely formidable.

Blood gushed from Lu Cheng'an's mouth. After sensing the power contained in that bluish-gray light, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he pushed Huo Ruyu to its limit.

Huo Ruyi suddenly grew larger, transforming into a giant Ruyi scepter several tens of feet long, and directly crashed into the bluish-gray light.

Just then, a jade-colored magic sword flew from afar, heading straight for the Azure Flame Lion.

Following the jade-colored magic sword was a beam of jade-colored light, which enveloped the enormous body of the Purple Flame Firebird.

These two attacks were launched by Shi Ningyu. After Lu Chengan had been fighting the Azure Flame Lion for so long, Shi Ningyu finally came to his aid.

In just a few short months, Shi Ningyu's strength has increased once again.

Although she had not yet mastered the minor divine power of Jade Soul Immortal Light, its power had increased significantly compared to before.

After the jade-colored light enveloped the Purple Flame Firebird's body, this powerful early-stage third-tier demonic beast suddenly felt its body stiffen and almost lose control of its physical form.

However, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow was indeed powerful, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to refine the power of the Jade Soul Immortal Light.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an controlled the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron to cover the Purple Flame Firebird, directly capturing the Purple Flame Firebird, which was still under the control of the Jade Soul Immortal Light, into the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

The Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, a mid-grade third-tier magic artifact, was inherently adept at suppression. After the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow was taken into the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, it instantly felt its power sealed, and the power of the Jade Soul Immortal Light, which was about to be refined by it, swept over again.

The Purple Flame Fire Sparrow was furious. Just as he was using a secret technique to break through the seal, he suddenly felt the sealing power sweeping towards his body increase again, completely suppressing him.

This is because after Lu Cheng'an put the Purple Flame Firebird into the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, he put the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron into the Azure Sky Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Azure Sky Palace is a fourth-tier top-grade magic artifact. It also contains sealing power. Although this sealing power will not be directly applied to the Purple Flame Firebird, even a slight amount of its power that escapes is something the Purple Flame Firebird cannot withstand.

After seeing Lu Cheng'an suppress the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, the Azure Flame Fire Lion let out an angry roar and immediately attacked Lu Cheng'an.

However, it was stopped by the Jade Cloud Sword and the Jade Soul Immortal Light that Shi Ningyu summoned.

Shi Ningyu's strength was comparable to Lu Cheng'an's; even the combined might of the Azure Flame Lion and the Purple Flame Firebird, two third-tier demonic beasts, could not defeat Lu Cheng'an.

Now, facing Shi Ningyu's attack, the Azure Flame Fire Lion dared not be careless in the slightest. It focused all its attention on fighting Shi Ningyu and had no time to pay attention to Lu Cheng'an.

After suppressing the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, a third-tier early-stage demonic beast, Lu Cheng'an took a healing pill to temporarily suppress his injuries before continuing his attack on the Azure Flame Fire Lion.

The Azure Flame Lion's strength was roughly equal to that of Lu Cheng'an and his companion. Now, being attacked by the two of them together, he instantly found himself at a disadvantage.

He was struck in the abdomen by Lu Cheng'an's Fire Ruyi, and immediately coughed up blood, suffering very serious injuries.

At this moment, the Azure Flame Lion roared angrily. After forcefully repelling the combined attack of Lu Cheng'an and the other man, it gave the order to retreat.

Although he and Lu Cheng'an had just fought, he was certain that he was no match for Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an.

If he were to continue fighting these two, he might be severely injured, or even suffer the same fate as the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, being suppressed or even killed by Lu Cheng'an.

The strength of the human cultivators near the Burning Flame Mountains was completely different from what they had learned. The two Golden Core cultivators, a man and a woman, were terrifyingly powerful.

His combat power far surpasses that of a Golden Core cultivator from the Ancient Desolate Sect in the early stage. I wonder where he came from!
His strength, along with that of the third-tier demonic beasts like the Devouring Python and the Golden Toad, was limited. Relying on their strength, they had no chance of defeating these human cultivators.

They need to plan carefully, find out the situation of the human cultivators in the Burning Flame Mountains, and if necessary, send third-tier demonic beasts from the Hong'e Mountains to provide support.

After the Azure Flame Lion gave the order to retreat, the third-tier demonic beasts, including the Devouring Python Golden Toad, did not hesitate at all. After repelling their opponents, they immediately led the first and second-tier demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators to retreat swiftly from Crimson Smoke Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an ordered that the pursuit of the demonic beasts should be stopped, and that the troops should retreat to inspect the gains and losses of the operation.

Lu Cheng'an entrusted these matters to Lu Wenxing and Ling Xuan, and then took Shi Ningyu directly back to his cave.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how are your injuries?" Shi Ningyu asked worriedly after sensing the listlessness emanating from Lu Cheng'an's body.

"My injuries are not serious, but it will probably take some time for me to fully recover!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. He had not yet cultivated the minor divine ability of Returning Fire to Heaven. If he could successfully cultivate this minor divine ability, he could recover from his injuries in a very short time.

However, with the help of the Purple Flame Resurrection Technique and third-grade low-level healing pills, his injuries can be recovered quickly if he spends some more time recuperating.

"Next, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Shi for help in subduing this early-stage third-tier demonic beast, the Purple Flame Firebird!"

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. After he finished speaking, he quickly cast a spell.

Then a stream of light appeared between his eyebrows, and the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron that suppressed the Purple Flame Firebird flew out from between his eyebrows.

After the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron emerged from Lu Cheng'an's sea of ​​consciousness, the sealing power emanating from the Azure Sky Palace immediately vanished.

At this moment, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, which had been completely suppressed, regained some of its power and quickly began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the seal of the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this Purple Flame Firebird is a third-tier early-stage demonic beast. Subduing it will probably not be an easy task,” Shi Ningyu said, frowning.
