Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After exchanging greetings, Chen Yuan looked at the burly man who resembled a real dragon even more than a dragon-man, a smile playing on his lips, but a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that he would find the true spirit descendant just a few days after entering the Xuanli Realm.

After Chen Yuan and Wang Xuanyue encountered the tribe that had been slaughtered by the demon general, Wang Xuanyue was furious and wanted to use a secret technique to track down the demon general.

Chen Yuan had no objection, but the great formation of the True Spirit Cave was definitely not so easy to break.

It's alright if we arrive at the Wanyan Mountains a little later.

If they could kill a few demon generals along the way, they could slow down the demon race's destruction of the Dragon Breath Platform and also obtain a demon core from a high-level demon general, killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Xuanyue immediately raised her hand and made a hand seal, drawing in the remaining demonic energy from the mountain range and condensing it into a turbid bead.

He exhaled another breath of pure dragon energy, which enveloped the pearl and transformed into a monstrous one-horned python that was half dragon energy and half demon energy. Its eyes were quite lively, and after sniffing for a while, it flew off in one direction.

This one-horned serpent was formed from dragon energy and demonic energy. It was small in size but extremely fast.

The two followed closely behind, flying all the way, only to find themselves getting closer and closer to Ying Qian's forces, eventually arriving above the Beichen Mountains.

Upon seeing the burly man, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. As the distance shrank to within a thousand feet, the jade pendant glowed crimson and became scorching hot.

He originally only intended to wipe out the demon general, but he ended up finding the true spirit descendant directly, saving him a lot of trouble.

The only regret was that the true spirit descendant they encountered this time was not the man in the green robe or the burly man in the black armor.

Chen Yuan looked at the blazing spiritual fire surrounding the burly man, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Chu Ming was unaware of Chen Yuan's thoughts, but upon hearing him identify himself as a human cultivator, he was overjoyed: "Fellow Daoist Chen is a human cultivator?"

“We dragon people also evolved from the human race, and we are of the same race as you, fellow Daoist.”

"I earnestly request your assistance, fellow Daoist, to help me, Ying Qianbu, and to hold off these demon generals."

"I have already informed the Supreme Elder that I will be back soon."

"At that time, we can kill all these demon generals, and we will surely reward you handsomely."

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, rest assured, now that I am here, I will not stand idly by."

"Fellow Daoist, you should go and save your clansmen first, lest Qianwei City be destroyed by the sea of ​​fire."

Chu Ming felt relieved. Chen Yuan's aura was solid, and with Wang Xuan Yue added, Ying Qian's troops now had two more late-stage Sky Cloud Realm warriors.

While we can't say we've turned the tide, holding out until the Supreme Elder returns gives us a better chance of winning.

However, when Chen Yuan asked him to save his clansmen, Chu Ming dared not agree and warned, "Fellow Daoist, be careful. This man is extremely fierce. He was unharmed when Chu Ming was attacked, but I was seriously injured when I was attacked by him."

"It is not that I, Chu, underestimate you, fellow Daoist, but this person's strength is no less than that of a cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Only if the three of us join forces can we hope to wait for the Supreme Elder to return to help."

Wang Xuanyue glanced at the burly man and said, "Brother Chu, there's no need to worry. Since Fellow Daoist Chen has said this, he is confident that he can stop this person."

“If Brother Chu goes to rescue people, every moment of delay will increase the casualties of Ying Qian’s troops.”

Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qianwei City below, which was being swept up by a rain of meteors, then looked at the burly man, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the two of them, and said through gritted teeth, "Then I'll leave it to Brother Wang and Fellow Daoist Chen!"

After saying that, he turned around and rushed into the sea of ​​fire. Ignoring his injuries, he circulated his dragon energy, condensing ice rain and frost to block the meteor shower.

The sea of ​​fire had already solidified and wouldn't dissipate immediately even after killing the burly man.

Chu Ming ultimately couldn't bear to see his people die tragically under the meteor shower, so he chose to weaken the sea of ​​fire first.

He had a very close personal relationship with Wang Xuanyue and knew that Wang Xuanyue was a steady person who never spoke falsehoods.

Hopefully, this fellow Daoist Chen is truly as confident as he claims, able to hold off the burly man; otherwise, Ying Qianbu will still face certain doom today.

After Chu Ming left, Wang Xuan Yue didn't even look at the burly man, but bowed to Chen Yuan with clasped hands: "I will leave this man to you, fellow Daoist. I will go and assist fellow Daoist Ying Qian in blocking these demon generals."

He had witnessed Chen Yuan's strength firsthand. With lightning speed, Chen Yuan had killed three demon generals of the same rank. Although it was a sudden attack, it clearly demonstrated Chen Yuan's strength.

Wang Xuanyue simply did not believe that Chen Yuan, below the Dragon Transformation Realm, would have any rivals.

Having said that, he used the Dragon Transformation Technique, his body growing more than ten times its original size. He then took out the spear and charged towards the ferocious vulture that had slaughtered an entire tribe, making the battle even more intense.

But after those demon generals joined the battle, Elder Yingqian was already at a complete disadvantage.

Even with Wang Xuanyue's help, they couldn't reverse the decline much and could only struggle to hold on.

The demon general's side was completely unconcerned. Although there were many dragon people, their cultivation levels varied greatly, and their victory was only a matter of time.

Even with the addition of a late-stage Cloud Soaring Realm dragonman, the defeat could only be delayed slightly.

As for the human cultivator who suddenly appeared, they didn't care about him at all.

No one knew better than them how terrifying the burly man was; unless a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage personally intervened, he had no chance of being defeated.

This Xuanli Realm is filled with dragon energy, and the burly man is like a fish in water. Even if a Void Refinement cultivator were to descend, he would most likely be unable to do anything to him.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the burly man, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, fellow Daoist? Are you a descendant of a true spirit?"

The burly man looked him over with interest and said, "I am Ao Xuan. How do you know that I am a descendant of a true spirit?"

Chen Yuan said, "I have heard that three descendants of true spirits have entered the Xuanli Realm this time. Do you know anything about the other two?"

Ao Xuan laughed heartily: "Your information network is quite impressive. If I remember correctly, you are the Northern Darkness Demon General under the Thunder Mountain Demon King in the Blood Tooth Domain, and you were born into the Kunyu Sacred Clan. When did you become a human cultivator?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed: "Fellow Daoist Ao is a descendant of a True Spirit, and you actually know my identity. I am quite flattered."

"That's right. In the Demon Burning Realm, I am using the alias Bei Ming and am temporarily residing in the Thunder Mountain Cave."

"Upon arriving in this Xuanli Realm, there is no need to disguise oneself as a demon general anymore; one's original name is naturally restored."

He no longer uses his secret techniques, and his body has returned to normal size. Compared to Ao Xuan, who is half dragon and half human, he is much smaller and his aura is completely inferior.

However, Chen Yuan remained calm and composed, with a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he and Ao Xuan were old friends who had been separated for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Ao Xuan felt a surge of anger.

He is a descendant of the True Spirit, destined to advance to the Demon King level, and has a great chance of challenging the Demon Saint level in the future, and may even have a trace of the potential to become a Great Saint.

If it weren't for the possibility that a True Spirit Cave might exist within the Xuanli Realm, he would never have left the Burning Demon Realm, or even stepped out of the Demon Saint's Cave.

Only after advancing to the rank of Demon King will they enter Turtle Island and unleash their killing spree.

In the past, he always controlled the situation when interacting with people, and only the Demon Saint and Demon King could make him bow his head slightly.

Even high-ranking demon generals were extremely respectful and even slightly obsequious in his presence.

This person is just a human cultivator, not even at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so why does he dare to be so arrogant in front of me?
Ao Xuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he coldly said, "You went to great lengths to infiltrate the Burning Demon Realm and establish your cave, yet you risked entering the Xuanli Realm and managed to avoid revealing your identity to the Demon Saint. You are already incredibly lucky."

"But you still dare to be so blatant, revealing your human identity in front of me, Ao. Do you really want to die?"

Chen Yuan said calmly, "To be honest, I have risked my life to enter the Xuanli Realm, all for the demon cores of Fellow Daoist Ao and the other two True Spirit descendants. I would appreciate your guidance."

Ao Xuan's eyes flashed with even more murderous intent, but he did not make a move immediately.

Killing people is not difficult, but he wanted to know more about whether there were other human cultivators behind Chen Yuan, or even demons secretly causing trouble.

Otherwise, why would a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dare to plot against a descendant of a True Spirit?
Having spent a long time by the Demon Saint's side, Ao Xuan was well-informed and knew that although the demon race and the human race were sworn enemies, they also had many secret dealings, including collusion with the human race for internal strife.

If Chen Yuan truly entered the Xuanli Realm to deal with the three descendants of True Spirits, there might be a Demon King or even a Demon Saint secretly supporting him behind the scenes.

Among the hundred demon generals, there may not be only one human cultivator.

Even those human deities who haven't yet entered the Xuanli Realm might be related to this person.

If we can extract any information from Chen Yuan, including the human race's arrangements in the Xuanli Realm, it will greatly help us in obtaining the True Spirit Relics.

Otherwise, Ao Xuan would have already taken action instead of letting those two dragonmen leave.

Ao Xuan sneered: "What arrogance! You were able to deceive the Thunder Mountain Demon King, so you must have the bloodline of the Kun fish in your body. You must be a human-demon hybrid."

"But no matter how pure the Kun fish bloodline in your body is, it is still just the bloodline of the Holy Race. I really don't know who gave you this confidence?"

"The bloodline of the Holy Race..." Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "Since you are unwilling to reveal the background of those two True Spirit descendants, let's see who has the better skills!"

Having said that, his black hair turned snow-white, his eyes flashed with dazzling lightning, and a pair of broad, deep, jet-black wings unfurled from his back. His aura surged, approaching the Void Refinement stage. Chen Yuan flipped his hand and took out the Cangming Halberd. The Xuan Yin Armor slowly emerged, protecting him. The beast head on his shoulder was extremely ferocious, its sharp barbs unruly, and demonic energy surged into the sky.

With a flap of his wings, he teleported behind Ao Xuan, wielding the Cangming Halberd, its sharp blade aimed straight for Ao Xuan's neck.

Bound by the sealing power, this world had solidified like iron, but it still couldn't withstand the power of the Kunpeng.

Ao Xuan's expression changed drastically, but he dared not take the halberd head-on as he had done when facing Chu Ming before. Instead, he charged forward and narrowly dodged the blow.

When Chen Yuan activated his True Spirit Blood, a chill ran through his heart.

The true dragon blood within Ao Xuan's body boiled over completely, as if he had encountered a mortal enemy.

He knew he absolutely could not block this halberd head-on, or he would be in mortal danger.

Chen Yuan lunged forward, following closely like a shadow, and the Cangming Halberd slashed down once more.

Behind him, the Kunpeng Dharma Image leaped out, its wings spread like clouds hanging from the sky, and let out a desolate long cry.

A jet-black light spread from his arms, condensing into a deep black line that settled on the halberd blade.

Even the incredibly solid space of the Xuanli Realm showed a faint crack.

This was not a black blade technique that the Kunyu Demon General could use, but rather the power of spatial destruction.

At the same time, the Zhu Yan True Fire, following that mysterious connection, surged into Ao Xuan's body and attacked his demonic soul.

Taking advantage of someone's illness to kill them, Chen Yuan, having gained the upper hand, would not give Ao Xuan a chance to turn the tables.

Chen Yuan, relying on his True Spirit Bloodline, was unrivaled among his peers and knew better than anyone the terror of the True Spirit Bloodline.

Although Ao Xuan only possesses one type of True Spirit bloodline, the True Dragon is renowned among True Spirits.

Kunpeng, Kui Niu, and Zhu Yan are all first-class true spirits, but they are still somewhat inferior to true dragons.

Ao Xuan's pupils contracted as he sensed a life-or-death crisis. He roared, and his demonic power surged wildly within him. The spiritual fire enveloping his body rose fiercely, faintly condensing into a dragon shape, and charged towards Chen Yuan.

Within his demonic soul, crimson spiritual fire burst forth, blocking the incoming white flames and preventing them from getting even a fraction closer to his demonic soul.

Chen Yuan felt the astonishing heat of the crimson spiritual fire, which seemed to have the power to incinerate everything. His expression changed slightly, but he did not dodge.

He seems to have the upper hand now, but in reality, he only gained a slight advantage by relying on the power of the Kunpeng.

If Ao Xuan were to avoid this situation, he could regain his footing, which would introduce many more variables into the battle.

There were also nearly ten demon generals who were locked in battle with the cultivators of the Yingqian tribe. They absolutely could not be allowed to leave and reveal Chen Yuan's secrets.

This battle must be won quickly. Even if Chen Yuan has to suffer this blow, he must severely injure Ao Xuan!

The Cangming Halberd passed through the crimson spiritual fire, only slightly dimming. The crimson fire, which burned everything, could not destroy the first-grade spiritual treasure weapon that covered the power of spatial destruction.

Just as the halberd was about to strike Ao Xuan's right arm, a streak of crimson light suddenly flew out from the mustard seed ring on his wrist, transforming into a crimson scale that blocked the halberd's blade.

The halberd blade slashed silently, severing the crimson scales in the middle. Most of the power to destroy space was consumed, but a trace remained, striking Ao Xuan's right arm and leaving a deep wound.

If it were Chen Yuan before he entered the Green Mantis Realm, the Cangming Halberd would have run out of steam after cutting through this patch of red scales.

However, after comprehending the fragments of the Green Mantis Realm's origin, his grasp of the laws of space deepened, and the power of spatial destruction increased significantly, leaving him with reserves.

The crimson spirit fire rushed towards Chen Yuan, but was blocked by a layer of pitch-black vortex, falling into it and disappearing.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't directly block the True Dragon's Fire, so he used the Devouring Technique instead.

However, after the dark vortex devoured most of the crimson spirit fire, it turned crimson and could no longer contain even a trace of spirit fire.

The remaining crimson spiritual fire surged toward Chen Yuan, landing on the Xuan Yin Armor, and boundless demonic energy emerged, forming a barrier.

But before the crimson spirit fire, the pitch-black demonic energy melted away like snow under the scorching sun; it took hundreds or thousands of strands of demonic energy to extinguish even a single wisp of spirit fire.

A startled cry came from the Xuan Yin Armor, delicate yet tinged with panic.

Fortunately, the Xuan Yin Armor absorbed enough demonic energy in the Green Mantis Realm's primordial space to extinguish the remaining crimson spiritual fire, though it consumed a considerable amount of energy and its vitality weakened somewhat.

Chen Yuan was unharmed, but he was unable to continue the pursuit due to the obstruction of the crimson spirit fire.

Ao Xuan flew for a hundred feet before stopping.

He turned to look at Chen Yuan, his face filled with shock and anger. He covered the wound on his right arm with his left dragon claw, his energy waning, no longer displaying the domineering aura that had previously descended upon the sea of ​​fire and burned down Qianwei City.

The crimson spiritual fire that erupted was his innate divine power, which consumed a great deal of demonic energy.

Although Ao Xuan has never been to Tyrant Turtle Island, he has had his share of life-and-death experiences and has fought countless demon generals. He has never encountered an opponent who is unharmed under the crimson spiritual fire.

The white spiritual fire that had quietly invaded his soul space was also extremely strange. It was entangled with the crimson spiritual fire and they were locked in a stalemate, with the former even showing signs of launching a counterattack.

That crimson scale, a life-saving treasure bestowed upon him by the Flame Cloud Demon Saint, was actually severed by this person with a single halberd strike.

If that halberd had landed on him, his right arm would surely be severed by now.

An unbelievable thought surfaced in Ao Xuan's mind, and he said incredulously, "You have more than one kind of..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's silver eyes flashed, and lightning arcs rippled outwards. He raised his right hand, and lightning arcs shone, condensing into a lightning spear, which shot out.

Thunder roared across the sky, echoing through the heavens, and dark clouds gathered from all directions, completely drowning out Ao Xuan's words.

Chen Yuan then took out the Purple Kui Thunder Drum, gripped the drumstick tightly, and struck it heavily. The sound of the drum was like thunder, spreading in all directions.

A bolt of lightning descended, swaying like a dragon, carrying immense divine might, closely following the lightning spear, heading straight for Ao Xuan.

Chen Yuan's figure flickered and disappeared, leaving only a few arcs of lightning in his place before reappearing in front of Ao Xuan.

Within the dantian, the sea of ​​true essence surged with towering waves, releasing boundless true essence that flowed into the meridians, causing the sea level to drop at an astonishing speed.

Black light surged from Chen Yuan's arms, extending to the halberd blade, and once again condensed the power of spatial destruction before slashing down.

In the shadows, the Zhu Yan True Fire, though far less imposing than the Crimson Spirit Fire, was no less powerful. It poured into Ao Xuan's soul space, forcing him to expend his demonic power and use the Crimson Spirit Fire to defend himself.

As Ao Xuan looked at the thunderous spear and the lightning descending from the sky, feeling the power of the heavenly tribulation, a trace of despair finally flashed in his golden dragon eyes.

Others might not be able to see Chen Yuan's true nature, but he possessed the bloodline of true spirit and immediately recognized that this was another kind of true spirit power!
With the blood of three true spirits, who exactly is this person?

Ao Xuan retreated rapidly, rushing towards the sea of ​​fire, but the Thunder Spear, the Azure Sea Halberd, and the Heavenly Thunder still struck him.

Most of the crimson spiritual fire within Ao Xuan's body was used to resist the eerie white flames.

Of the three types of True Spirit Blood within Chen Yuan's body, the Zhu Yan True Blood is the purest. However, he kept it as a trump card in the past and was unwilling to reveal it too much.

Ao Xuan could only condense a thin layer of crimson spiritual fire to incinerate the Thunder Spear and weaken some of the power of the heavenly lightning, but it was powerless against the Cangming Halberd and the remaining heavenly lightning.

Fortunately, the Flame Cloud Demon Saint had bestowed more than one crimson scale. A streak of crimson light flew out from the Mustard Seed Ring, blocking the Azure Sea Halberd and the Heavenly Thunder, thus saving Ao Xuan's life.

In the past, Ao Xuan relied on the powerful physical body bestowed by the bloodline of the true dragon and the crimson spiritual fire to fight his enemies, which made him invincible among those of the same level. He did not have any other treasures in his possession.

At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why had he spent all his time cultivating and only seeking to break through to the Demon King realm, instead of refining spiritual treasures and divine weapons?

Ao Xuan rushed into the sea of ​​fire, his figure blurred, and he transformed into his true form, swallowing the boundless sea of ​​fire into his belly. Finally, he wiped away the spatial destruction power at the wound on his right arm, and his energy recovered slightly.

Ao Xuan's true form is a red dragon, but the mane around his neck is thick, and the mane on his back extends all the way out. With dragon eyes and whiskers, he is majestic and extraordinary.

But he had lost his courage and dared not fight Chen Yuan again. With a flick of his dragon tail, he fled in panic into the distance.

Chen Yuan sneered, flapped his wings, and instantly teleported in front of the Crimson Dragon.

He was small in stature, far inferior to the Crimson Dragon, but he possessed the imposing presence of a man who could hold off ten thousand.

The Kunpeng Dharma Image behind Chen Yuan exuded a vast and majestic aura, completely overshadowing the dragon might emanating from the Crimson Flood Dragon.

The red dragon was forced to stop, its two enormous dragon eyes revealing terror.

Chen Yuan raised the Cangming Halberd, its blade pointing directly at the Crimson Dragon, and coldly said, "Where does Fellow Daoist intend to go? The scenery here is quite remarkable; it is precisely the place where Fellow Daoist will be buried."

"But don't worry, fellow Daoist, those two descendants of true spirits will not escape either."

"I, Chen, will first send you on your way, then I will send them to the Yellow Springs with you!" (End of Chapter)
