Immortal Road.

Chapter 316: The Spiritual Treasure is in Hand
At this time, Zi Yang's hair and beard were all standing on end, and his whole body was filled with demonic energy.

He had experienced three waves of ambushes, a day and a night of high-intensity fighting, and the long-term use of spiritual treasures, as well as the successive battles with General Xiong, Zhong Shenxiu, and Young Master Jiuyou. He was already a little overwhelmed.

With the remaining demonic power it had, it was almost at the end of its strength and could only kill one more person at most, but it made the decision in just a moment.

Just choose Linshan!

This kid is fair and clean, and looks harmless. He didn't dare to step forward when his two brothers asked for help. He must be a coward who has no ability and only knows how to hide in the background and act in a shabby manner.

Today, I will use you as a sacrifice!

“Huahuahuahuahua~~~”

The towering ancient trees had grown to their limit and now they simply gathered together, surrounding the place layer by layer, trapping it tightly with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Although Ziyang is a demon, he has already made plans.

It had seen Lin Shan use the Wind Escape Talisman before, so it did not choose him as the first target. Instead, it waited until the ancient tree created by this spiritual treasure was completely formed and the space was sealed before taking action.

At the moment when the wind source was cut off, Lin Shan also instantly realized that his wind escape talisman had lost its effect of escape, and could only teleport in this narrow space. It was very likely that he would be caught in a trap after running out of uses!

"Big brother, third brother, come and save me!"

At this time, don’t worry about whether you have shame or not. Which is more important, face or life?
Although Lin Shan had stood by and watched the two previous times, he still had to shout a few words when it really was his turn, so that they could settle the score with each other afterwards. Otherwise, when the time came, his brothers would settle the score openly, and since he didn't call for help, wouldn't those two people have the moral high ground?
As expected, Zhong Shenxiu rode his mirage dragon to watch the show at the edge of the city, and did not forget to make sarcastic remarks.

"Second brother ignored our requests for help before, why do you have the nerve to speak up now?"

Lin Shan was embarrassed and remained silent.

Unexpectedly, when the young master of Jiuyou saw Lin Shan trapped by the ancient tree, he became anxious on the spot. He immediately commanded the army of ghosts to rush into the cage, regardless of the loss of his magic power, in an attempt to rescue Lin Shan.

"Don't panic, brother. I will save you even if I have to sacrifice my life!"

In fact, he was worried that if Lin Shan died, the Star Gate device would fall into Zi Yang's hands, and then something unexpected would happen.

Zhong Shenxiu was shocked and hesitated.

Could it be that this cheap elder brother of mine, although he was born into the demon world, is actually a brave and righteous man?
The second brother was so cold to him, but he returned evil with kindness in a time of crisis.
Did I really misunderstand him before?
Zhong Shenxiu was puzzled.

However, the ancient tree that was born from this magical treasure was extraordinary, and Young Master Jiuyou was unable to break it for a while, and he was extremely anxious.

At some point, rumbling thunder was heard outside the canyon covered by dark clouds.

The sky was filled with thin lightning threads, and the clouds were stained with plasma, changing from gray-black to blue. The ice on the mountain was blown away by the sudden cold wind, and the green leaf barrier on the outside began to wither and turn yellow.

Zi Yang was still trying to catch the slippery Lin Shan when he suddenly heard a loud explosion above his head and he shrank his head in fear.

“Boom boom boom~~~~Crack!”

Electric snakes were running all over the towering tree, and blue circles of light were hissing back and forth from top to bottom, one after another.

It immediately felt the magic treasure in its hand begin to heat up. Because of the connection between the ancient tree and the treasure, some of the power of thunder was actually fed back from the inside out, shocking its original demon body and making it numb!
The thunder outside was falling at an incredibly fast speed, and under Lin Shan's reckless urging, one thunder after another connected seamlessly.

The rumbling thunder was deafening, flashing in the darkness, and Zi Yang's heart skipped a beat.

The towering ancient tree's recovery speed could not keep up with the speed of destruction. Its branches and leaves flew everywhere, and its trunk was charred black. While wisps of smoke were rising, tiny pieces of plasma were constantly destroying the broken ends.

Ziyang desperately used his demonic power to try to save the treasure tree with the help of the magic treasure. Without this thing to divide the battlefield, how could it fight thirteen at once?
But destruction is far easier than construction. Before it could recover, the tree was hit by nine consecutive thunder strikes!

As we all know, you can't hide under a tree during a thunderstorm.

Thousand-year-old trees are most afraid of lightning strikes!
When the clouds could no longer withstand the conduction, the sky and the earth were illuminated by the sudden divine punishment, which was imprinted on Zi Yang's dazed face.

In the pitch-dark canyon, there was a brief glimmer of light, and in the end, all that could be seen was the pitch-black towering tree, split in half from the middle!

All the leaves lost the source of vitality, turning from green to yellow in an instant, and were broken down into sand by the Nine Heavens Strong Wind, which gently drifted away into the distance.

The sky is bright and clear.

The light returned to the canyon, and all the clouds disappeared. Only the vague shadow of a pool of thunder could be seen above the sky, slowly retreating behind the scenes.

"..."

Lin Shan escaped from the trap so easily and looked at it with an innocent look on his face, as if he had done nothing.

"Pfft~"

Zi Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembled, and then shrank significantly.

Just now, in order to support the ancient tree, it overdrew its demon pill to activate its spiritual treasure, but was mercilessly attacked, causing it to have difficulty maintaining its demon body and growing larger.
Becoming bigger also consumes demonic energy. Otherwise, why are demons usually small in size and only swell up when fighting? This is also related to their racial upper limit.

But it really couldn't understand, have the human race in the outside world become so powerful?

Just three young men at the Jindan stage can display their sect-defending magical powers without any scruples? How come they are just like cabbages sold everywhere?

How can the monster survive?
Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu also fell silent at this time. They looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.

This is Zi Yang, who can fight against the three of them with his magic weapon.

If it was the previous Master Puchang, he might have been defeated by the three brothers joining forces by now!
You said you wanted to kill someone, and everyone can understand that, but you don't know why you have to pick on us? Do we brothers look so weak?

And this process happened in just a short period of time, there were more than just three of them on the field!
General Xiong did not just sit there and wait, but took advantage of the time they were delayed to set up the Flying Tiger Army's formation and mobilize the military spirit.

"Roar!"

A huge tiger with a hanging forehead and golden eyes appeared. It condensed the strength of General Bear and the entire Flying Tiger Army. The terrifying aura comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage emanated from the surroundings, and it swung its claws to hit down.

"Oh!"

Countless layers of ice broke, ice and sand splashed all over the sky, and the long winding glacier was almost broken.

Lin Shan, who had just escaped from the trap, immediately seized the opportunity and escaped from the siege of the glacier.

The purple sheep roared angrily, it didn't expect that the cooked duck would fly away. It was carrying a magical treasure today, but it couldn't kill anyone and almost went berserk on the spot!

However, so many people of the same level present would not let it go. After seeing General Xiong finally summon the military soul and be able to confront the Purple Sheep holding the magic treasure head-on, they became courageous and besieged it.

Now that it no longer had the protection of the ancient tree that was created by the spiritual treasure, it was equivalent to losing the one-on-one tactical initiative. It was simply unable to deal with so many people of the same level relying solely on a river of ice.

In a matter of seconds, General Xiong completely broke up the glacier. All the ice lost its support and turned back into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and dissipated.

At this time, Lin Shan and the other two had consumed too much energy and had each retracted their magical powers. Seeing that the outcome was settled, they all rushed forward to join in the effort.

Ziyang Mountain was at the end of its rope, the monster's body became smaller and smaller, and it roared and screamed in despair and madness. It couldn't believe that even with a magical treasure in hand, it couldn't do anything to three humans!
This is also a common problem among all demon races. When their demonic power is insufficient, it is reflected in reality that they are unable to maintain the ability to change their own bodies.

With the support of the Flying Tigers, General Xiong immediately gained the upper hand and beat up his old rival.

The nine Jindan-stage cave masters around them also risked their lives, gambling all their demonic power to make their bodies taller and bigger, striving to turn themselves into muscular tyrants!

Looking up at the ten huge shadows cast around him, the purple sheep looked desperate. He couldn't run away or change his position. It seemed that he had no choice but to wait for death. The three little ants in Linshan were mixed in with a group of giants. They kept harassing them with crazy faces, trying to grab the magic treasure.

Zi Yang was ultimately unable to hold on, and in his final struggle, he used his demon pill to resist, but after being smashed by the group of demon generals, more and more cracks appeared on his pill, and he had no choice but to self-destruct!

The demon pill at the peak of the golden elixir realm, which has absorbed and released essence for countless years, blooms at this moment!
"Bang! Bang ...

The terrifying air wave stirred up a strong wind, and this final sound was no less powerful than any magical spell. All the demons except General Bear were knocked away and could only watch the dazzling purple light flashing in the center.

It pulled out two sheep horns, and threw them with all its might, burning its blood and essence. Each of them had two accessories of a magic weapon hanging on it, a wine jar and an ice tray, and they whizzed towards the sky in two directions, like shooting stars.

As for itself, it completely shrunk its body, transformed into a streak of purple light and escaped along the mountain wall.

At this time, either abandon the treasure and escape, or die along with the treasure. Anyone would do the same.

Zi Yang has tried his best. Although he failed to kill the three people, he did buy enough time for Dai Budong and Zhu Duiyou to escape. He can be said to have done his utmost and fulfilled his loyalty and responsibility.

As for the loss of the demon pill, I can always spend a few more decades to cultivate it again step by step. As long as I can escape back, nothing is impossible!

The reactions of the people on the field varied.

Lin Shan made the decision in just a moment, followed the direction of the sheep horn with the wine bottle hanging on it, and disappeared into the wind.

Zhong Shenxiu's reaction was equally fast. He knew that no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than Lin Shan, so he simply set his target on the sheep horn with the ice plate hanging on it. Because he had a magical power seed that could be activated instantly, he directly activated his magical power for the second time to "add the finishing touches" and summoned a mirage dragon to fly away on the clouds.

Young Master Jiuyou stood there in a daze.

Watching the two "good brothers" flying away one after another, he couldn't outrun them even if he wanted to chase them, so he had to focus his attention on the fleeing purple sheep.

However, the purple light was incredibly fast. It flew out of the canyon in just a few seconds, sticking to the mountain wall, and was about to disappear into the sky.

"Roar!"

General Xiong roared, and all the Flying Tigers under his command spread their wings and linked together to carry the wind and thunder. The demon soul in the army formation trembled violently, and disappeared along with General Xiong and the Flying Tigers, and chased straight out of the cave.

Young Master Jiuyou and the other nine Jindan-stage cave masters quickly stood up and followed the trajectory together.

This canyon was devastated by this battle, and has left behind the vicissitudes of history in the turbulent years.

……

Lin Shan chased all the way, and fortunately with the help of the wind escape talisman of the minor magical power level, he managed to stop the sheep horn just a hundred miles away.

Looking behind him, he saw no one else following him. He thought that they felt they couldn't compete with him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the two new treasures in my hands.

Enhanced panel automatic identification, transparent data neatly listed in front of you.

【Zhenwu Antelope Horn】

Grade: Fourth-level material

Introduction: The left horn on the head of the Zhenwu antelope, aged for 800 years. Grinded into powder, it can be used as medicine for beauty preservation, anti-aging, and maintenance. It can be used as the main material for sacrificial, musical instrument, and medical magic weapons.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

"Zhenwu Antelope."

Lin Shan was secretly shocked, thinking that this must be the true ethnic origin of Zi Yang, the general under the command of the Yuanlu Demon King. He knew that he was extraordinary just by hearing the name.

The key is that it has mutated into purple, becoming a different species of the demon race. It seems that this demon might really run away this time, and it will probably not be easy to catch it.

This goat horn is the material of the demon clan at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If it is of the bloodline of the Zhenwu antelope, then it is equivalent to a demon treasure when activated directly by itself. If it is from another race, then it can only be used as a material to refine a magic weapon.

As for its medicinal value, it is meaningless in Lin Shan's eyes.

He would be a fool to try to maintain his youth!
I'll keep this thing and throw it into the storage bracelet as a reserve for refining magic weapons in the future.

Next comes another highlight, the parts of the Lingbao.

【Cloud Pattern Copper Bottle】

Grade: Lingbao (incomplete)

Introduction: One of the spiritual treasure components of the bronze zun plate, it is an acquired spiritual treasure combined with the "Dragon Pattern Ice Plate". It was made by two consecutive overlords of the demon kings in the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land. It took two thousand years to make it. Now the spirit of the weapon is dormant.

Use copper bottle alone
①. It can give birth to the original body of the previous demon king, the "Kuisang Ancient Tree", which has the functions of sealing, dividing and defending.

②. If used for drinking, ordinary wine can be turned into fine wine, fine wine into spiritual wine, and spiritual wine into magic wine, which can enhance the ultimate taste and improve a small amount of cultivation.

③. Depending on the user's level of cultivation, the copper jar can absorb all liquid substances within the material's tolerance range and transform them into fine wine, retaining some of the original properties and converting them into its own resistance.

④. When used in sacrificial occasions, it can increase the efficiency of spiritual communication, and there is a chance to obtain remote sensing of the soul, attention from sages, responses from ghosts and gods, etc., thus increasing the success rate of prayers.

Enhancement required: 128 points

……

"To strengthen half of a spiritual treasure, 128 points are also required?"

Lin Shan held the wine jar by its legs and looked inside the jar mouth. It seemed bottomless.

He put his eyes closer and looked carefully, and found that there seemed to be a green light spot that was motionless and sleeping in a very deep place. He thought it should be the spirit of this magical treasure.

Based on the few words on the enhancement panel, Lin Shan speculated that the spirit of this magic treasure was probably the previous overlord of the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land, the ancient Kuisang tree.

No one knew how this demon king turned himself into a weapon spirit. From the name, it seemed that he was more or less related to the Kuihu demon king. Of course, this was not something he could find out.

The demon king Kuihu has dominated for a thousand years. How many changes has he experienced during this period?

Even if it was compiled into a book, it would still be a legend. It might be filled with love, hate, and vengeance. How could a small minion like him in the Soul Pill Stage know about it?

Lin Shan didn't dwell on this. Just the "cloud-patterned bronze jar" alone made him envious.

By summoning the ancient tree of Kuisang, Ziyang can divide the battlefield by himself and pin down thirteen people of the same level. If this is not a powerful weapon for single combat or group fights, what is it?
The key is the second and third functions, which complement each other and are the favorites of alcoholics!

When fighting with others, you can absorb all of the opponent's golden juice, jade liquid, spiritual water, real water, poisonous water, and magic water, take them home and automatically brew them into spiritual wine to drink. It can also increase various resistances and improve your own cultivation. This auxiliary function is awesome!
As for the sacrificial function, Lin Shan didn't consider it at all. He didn't have anyone to sacrifice to now. Even if it was the big boss of the Immortal Book who was being communicated with, the spirit of the artifact would not be interested in any fine wine.

But there is a problem right now.

This thing was originally the treasure of the demon king Kuihu.

Should he keep it for himself or return it to the Demon King Kuihu?
