Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

This roc was as large as a mountain. Like the halberd, it was entirely purplish-black, slightly ethereal, and shrouded in a layer of eerie light, exuding a profound and ancient aura.

After swallowing the thunderbolt, it remained silent, without even causing the Peng bird to pause.

It rushed straight towards the dark clouds, opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the dark clouds into its belly, with a force that seemed to devour the sky!

After swallowing the thundercloud, the eerie light on the Peng bird's body dimmed slightly. With a flap of its wings, its figure disappeared from its original spot and reappeared above Chen Yuan's head, its giant claws slashing down.

But Chen Yuan seemed to have anticipated this, and with a flap of his wings, he instantly teleported a thousand feet away, leaving only a few arcs of lightning in his place.

He was unable to use teleportation, but his lightning escape technique was unaffected by the sealing power.

When the Peng bird teleported, a slight disturbance appeared in the space. Although it was extremely subtle, it could not escape the notice of Chen Yuan, who had activated the Kunpeng's true blood.

Kun Chenglie's mockery deepened: "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them on."

Before he could finish speaking, Dapeng teleported to Chen Yuan's side again, but Chen Yuan managed to dodge it by using his lightning escape technique.

The figures of a man and a roc appeared and disappeared all around, dazzling the eyes.

But the roc was always a moment too slow and could not catch up with Chen Yuan.

Kun Chenglie frowned. The Peng bird was not the ancestor of that time. It was just the spirit of the Fangtian Halberd. Although it retained some of the ancestor's strength, its spirituality was far inferior.

Chen Yuan's lightning escape technique also made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Lightning Release Technique is one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, but it is rarer than ordinary Five Elements Escape Techniques such as Water Release Technique and Earth Release Technique. It has fewer restrictions, faster escape speed, and can be compared with teleportation techniques.

However, the Peng bird is a spirit that inherited a trace of the true spirit power of the Kun fish demon king, and its teleportation technique far surpasses that of ordinary demon generals and cultivators.

However, Chen Yuan's lightning escape technique was still not inferior to it.

The roc swallowed the thunderclouds, but it was far from being as calm and collected as it appeared on the surface; it just didn't show it.

A chill ran through Kun Chenglie's heart. The power of thunder that this person possessed seemed to be comparable to the power of the Kunpeng left behind by his ancestor.

A ruthless glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. He raised his other hand and slashed across the blade of the halberd. Blood gushed out joyfully and seeped into the halberd.

The roc let out a long cry to the sky, and the eerie light enveloping its body became denser again. Its aura completely overwhelmed Kun Chenglie, as well as Qin Wuyai and Ao Cang, making it comparable to a high-level demon general.

Upon seeing this, the people who were fighting were all startled, and the magical powers and treasures in their hands slowed down a bit.

Xiong Tunhai's heart sank even further. Kun Chenglie was truly a man of hidden talents, possessing such methods.

He has severely offended Kun Chenglie today. After this battle, the relationship with the Jiaolong clan must be even closer. The two clans must join forces and spare no expense to wipe out the Kunyu clan first.

Xiong Tunhai was no longer worried about the outcome of this battle. Although Xinghuo Zhenren was powerful and even had the blood of the True Spirit in his body, he was ultimately just a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage.

He was no match for this roc, whose strength was comparable to that of a high-ranking demon general.

Chen Yuan watched as the Peng bird's aura grew even stronger, but he showed no sign of discouragement. He narrowed his eyes and said, "The Devouring Technique..."

As he used the Thunder Escape Technique, he raised his hand and formed a hand seal. Behind him appeared a phantom image of a ten-zhang-tall ox, shaped like a blue ox, with a hornless body and only one leg. Its body was surrounded by silver, white, blue, and purple lightning, as if a thunder god had descended to earth.

As Chen Yuan continued to appear, the Dharma Image raised its head and let out a huge roar, deep and far-reaching, like thunder or the moo of a cow. An ancient aura, no less powerful than that of a roc, suddenly spread out and swept in all directions.

This Dharma image was so peculiar that everyone recognized it at a glance.

Kun Chenglie's pupils contracted: "The Kui Niu is truly powerful?"

The mocking look on his face vanished without a trace. How could a human cultivator, not even a demon, possibly possess two kinds of true spiritual power at the same time? Could it be that he has two kinds of true spiritual blood coexisting in his body?

Qin Wuyai and the other two already knew about this, and upon seeing this, they were all excited, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

However, when Ao Cang and Xiong Tunhai saw the Kui Niu's Dharma form, they were just as shocked as Kun Chenglie, and even fell into a disadvantageous position because of it.

They were all demon generals who had cultivated for thousands of years and were very knowledgeable, but they had never seen a true spirit descendant.

I have never heard of a human cultivator having two kinds of true spirit blood within him.

Let alone the Demon General, even the Void Refining Demon King, or even the legendary Demon Saint, would probably never have heard of him.

True spirit blood can only be passed down through bloodlines, and each type of true spirit blood contains a trace of the Great Dao Law, making them unique and impossible to coexist.
This was completely beyond the comprehension of the three of them. What was even more unacceptable to them was that Chen Yuan displayed two kinds of true spiritual power, yet his aura remained pure and virtuous, without a trace of demonic energy.

The true spirit bloodline they had been dreaming of had actually appeared in a human cultivator, and even two kinds of it. How unjust was the heavens!
After Chen Yuan condensed the Kui Niu Dharma Image, his pair of silver eyes shone even brighter.

With a roar from the Kui Niu Dharma Image, thunderclouds rapidly gathered from all directions, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles in an instant.

The roc was still using its teleportation technique, relentlessly pursuing Chen Yuan.

However, Chen Yuan's lightning escape technique also became faster, and the two almost turned into two phantoms, shuttling back and forth in the sky, with the Kui Niu Dharma Image constantly flashing along with them.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan stopped, letting one of the Peng bird's sharp claws descend from the sky and grab him tightly.

Kun Chenglie was overjoyed, but at that moment, Chen Yuan's body emitted the same eerie light as the Peng bird, which suddenly spread out and formed a vortex that blocked the Peng bird's giant claws above his head.

The immense power contained in this claw could easily tear through the void and uproot a towering peak three thousand feet high, but when it landed on this vortex of ethereal light, it vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

However, this vortex of eerie light could not last long and quickly became thinner, lasting at most only a breath.

But a breath was enough time. Chen Yuan raised his sleeve and flicked it, and the Purple Kui Thunder Drum appeared in front of him.

He flipped his hand and took out the drumsticks, striking them heavily. The purplish-black skin on the surface of the thunder drum suddenly collapsed and then bounced back, making a deafening noise.

Boom!

With just one strike, the drumstick began to vibrate violently, flashing with spiritual light. If struck a second time, it would surely shatter.

But Chen Yuan no longer needed to strike the Purple Kui Thunder Drum. When the drum sound came out, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly stopped.

The endless lightning flashing in the clouds condensed into a bolt of heavenly lightning, extremely dazzling, and crashed down, striking the Peng bird.

With a long cry, the roc disregarded Chen Yuan beneath its claws, opened its maw, and swallowed the heavenly lightning.

If the heavenly lightning were allowed to strike it, even the power left behind by the Kunyu Demon King would be difficult to withstand.

But after it swallowed this bolt of lightning, it was no longer as silent as before.

The thick, eerie light covering the Peng bird's body quickly dimmed and almost completely disappeared. Kun Chenglie's face darkened; this was a sign that the Devouring Technique was about to reach its limit.

Pain was also evident in the Peng bird's eyes. It opened its mouth and spat out a silvery-white arc of lightning, which dissipated into the air.

But Chen Yuan's methods went far beyond that. He put away the drumsticks and the Purple Kui Thunder Drum, and changed the hand seals.

The Kui Niu image behind him transformed into specks of light, which then coalesced into another illusory image, resembling an ape with a white head and bare feet, surrounded by illusory white flames.

After appearing, the white ape roared and pounded its chest, baring its fangs and radiating a terrifying aura. Behind it, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood seemed to appear, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.

Xiong Tunhai and Ao Cang were stunned, but when Kun Chenglie saw the white ape's Dharma form, he remembered the ancient texts left by his ancestors and exclaimed, "The True Spirit of Zhu Yan?"

There is actually a third type of True Spirit Blood within Xinghuo Zhenren's body!

Chen Yuan changed his hand seals again, and the Zhu Yan Dharma Image swung out a giant palm. The white flames around it suddenly appeared on the equally illusory Peng bird, enveloping it completely and rising up.

The roc bird let out a shrill cry. The Zhu Yan True Fire was not very effective against the demon general, but it was surprisingly effective against the artifact spirit that was extremely similar to the divine soul.

The already dim light on the Peng bird finally dissipated completely, but the Zhu Yan True Fire also became much thinner.

Under the relentless onslaught of two kinds of true spiritual power, the Devouring Technique finally reached its limit and could no longer dissipate even a trace of true spiritual power.

The halberd in Kun Chenglie's hand trembled slightly. The spirit of the weapon had been burned by the Zhu Yan True Fire, which had affected this magical weapon.

Kun Chenglie's face was ashen. He had activated the power left in the Fangtian Halberd by his ancestor, and this battle should have been foolproof.

However, Chen Yuan not only had a stronger physical body than him, but also mastered two other true spiritual powers. His Thunder Dao Divine Power was extremely powerful, and his Zhu Yan True Fire was the most effective at restraining the spirit soul of the artifact, which even the Peng bird could hardly withstand.

How could a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage be so troublesome?
Kun Chenglie let out a heavy breath. It seemed he had to fight to the death today. He turned to look at Ao Cang and said coldly, "If Fellow Daoist Ao continues to hold back, we will all die today!"

After saying that, he turned around, took out a jade bottle, opened the stopper, and poured out a drop of purplish-black blood.

Chen Yuan's expression changed. Just as Kun Chenglie took out the jade bottle, the jade pendant he had placed in his internal space suddenly became scalding hot.

This drop of blood was very similar to the mysterious drop of blood he obtained from the bottom of the abyss, only it was far less pure than the mysterious blood drop, but it was also a drop of Kunpeng's true blood.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Kun Chenglie's eyes, and with a flick of his finger, the drop of blood flew onto the Fangtian Halberd.

Chen Yuan's eyes widened, but he could only watch helplessly as the drop of Kunpeng's true blood merged into the halberd and disappeared.

Qin Wuyai and the other two were unaware of the true spirit blood's true nature, but Ao Cang and Xiong Tunhai felt the pressure emanating from the depths of the bloodline, and their eyes revealed a look of regret.

What a waste!

Chen Yuan cursed inwardly, but what he didn't know was that Kun Chenglie was even more heartbroken than he was.

This drop of Kunpeng true blood was left by the ancestors of the Kunyu clan, who clearly stated that if any of their descendants were true spirit descendants, they could refine it.

The blood of the true spirit has many uses and is an extremely precious treasure.

However, for the Kun fish clan, only by refining it into their bodies can they make the most of it.

However, the blood of the true spirit is not so easy to refine. The Kun fish is a descendant of the true spirit of the Kunpeng, but after countless years, its bloodline has completely differentiated and formed its own lineage.

The bloodline hierarchy of the demon race is extremely strict. If one forcibly refines the true blood of the Kunpeng, one will not be able to withstand the true spiritual power contained within it and will only die from bloodline collapse.

For tens of thousands of years, no one in the Kunyu clan has inherited the true spirit bloodline of their ancestors, so this drop of Kunpeng true blood has been passed down to the present day.

It waited for tens of thousands of years, but never found its owner.

In the end, however, it was absorbed by the Fangtian Halberd, which was a true waste for the Kunyu clan.

After the Kunpeng's true blood merged into the Fangtian Halberd, the halberd's aura became increasingly mysterious and ethereal. Qin Wuyai, seeing this from afar, had a look of disbelief flash across his eyes, but quickly returned to normal.

Under the burning of the Zhu Yan True Fire, the Peng bird, whose body had been rapidly thinning, became solid again, covered with a layer of eerie light.

The blazing and magnificent Zhu Yan True Fire was swallowed up by the eerie light, leaving only a thin layer.

Chen Yuan changed his hand seals, and the sea of ​​true essence in his dantian evaporated at an astonishing speed.

Zhu Yan's Dharma form pounded its chest and roared angrily. Zhu Yan's True Fire, following that mysterious connection in the dark, poured down on the Peng bird, but it was still firmly suppressed.

Although this drop of Kunpeng true blood was far inferior to the drop that Chen Yuan had refined, the true spiritual power contained within it erupted in an instant, faintly surpassing the level of a Nascent Soul Demon General and touching the Void Refinement Realm.

The Peng bird, enveloped in the Zhu Yan True Fire, showed no sign of pain; instead, it exuded even more power. Its giant claws descended, obscuring the sky, and it looked as if it was about to completely crush the tiny Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's expression finally turned serious. With a flap of his wings, his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared several hundred feet away, leaving only a few arcs of lightning before vanishing under the giant claws of the Peng bird.

After he appears, he will continue to use the Lightning Release technique to evade the Roc's pursuit.

This time, however, the roc did not pursue. Instead, it flapped its wings and flew back to Kun Chenglie's side, its body rapidly shrinking as it returned to the halberd.

The Zhu Yan True Fire that enveloped the Peng bird landed on the Fangtian Halberd, but Kun Chenglie simply shook it and it vanished.

Kun Chenglie gently swung his halberd, and a spatial rift appeared at the tip of the halberd before disappearing again.

A pair of black wings slowly unfurled behind him, almost identical to Chen Yuan's wings.

But upon closer inspection, it is not as deep as Chen Yuan's wings.

Kun Chenglie flew toward Chen Yuan, slowly wielding his halberd as if practicing his weaponry.

As this action occurred, spatial rifts appeared and disappeared around the crescent-shaped halberd blade.

Wherever the halberd went, the void shattered and the heavens and earth trembled.

Chen Yuan's heart sank. Kun Chenglie could shatter the void with a mere gesture. With this halberd in his hand, who could possibly fight him?

Kun Chenglie suddenly stopped, pointing his halberd at Chen Yuan, and said, word by word, "I underestimated you. You possess the blood of three kinds of true spirits. If our cultivation levels were equal, without the Cangming Halberd to help me, I would definitely not be your match."

"After our ancestors left behind the Cangming Halberd, no one has been able to unleash its full power."

"Today, I, Kun, will use you as a test subject for my halberd. If I die under the Tongtian Lingbao, you will have no regrets!"

Having said that, he swung his halberd, creating a spatial rift in front of him. Then, with a flap of his wings, he teleported to Chen Yuan's side and thrust his hand forward! (End of Chapter)
