Chapter 831 Shocking Change
Within the Thunder Sea Demon Ruins.

The group of Void Refinement elders were also quite astonished, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Normally, when those demonic beasts see humans, they are extremely envious and wish they could devour their flesh and bones.

The Void Beast's reaction was completely different from that of the monsters outside. It appeared very calm, as if it had received some kind of instruction to guard this place.

"Fellow Daoists, let's not delay any longer. Delay will only lead to complications. Let's take action immediately," said Old Daoist Lu first.

Without waiting for a response from the people behind him, he already had a whisk in his hand and unleashed several divine attacks towards the four void beasts.

Rumble!
In an instant, the earth shook violently. Countless silver-blue arcs of electricity burst forth and ricocheted outwards in all directions.

Roar roar~
Seemingly spurred on by Old Daoist Lu, the four Void Beasts could no longer hold back and immediately adopted an attack stance.

The Void Beast, which was originally only a few feet in size, grew to more than ten feet in just a few breaths.

The enormous mouth, filled with fangs, roared.

In mid-air, rings of purple sound waves echoed, instantly captivating everyone's attention.

It could even be felt that the primordial spirit in the Purple Mansion was being pulled by a powerful suction force, uncontrollably flying towards the giant mouth of the Void Beast.

Everyone was terrified and quickly used their supernatural powers to resist the impact of this primordial spirit.

He cursed inwardly at Old Master Lu for his reckless actions.

The Confucian scholar surnamed Fang also took out a magic inkstone and fought against a Void Refinement stage Aoquan Yuan Beast.

In the void, the roar of fierce battle suddenly erupted.

Qin Shujian and Zichen Shenjun frowned upon seeing this, as they realized that the divine attacks launched by the others earlier had no effect on the Void Beast.

They all passed right through the body, causing no real harm whatsoever.

On the contrary, the large-scale fighting by everyone consumed a lot of their magical power.

They were quickly surrounded by four Void Beasts and found themselves in a situation where they were powerless to resist.

Seeing this, the others stopped watching and immediately summoned their magical treasures to attack the four void beasts.

The task of obtaining the Heartless Demon Grass fell to Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an.

Gu Chang'an no longer hesitated and summoned his turtle spirit pet. After being fed with the Spirit-Calling Fruit, it also awakened the True Spirit Xuanwu bloodline.

Therefore, he took special care of Qin Ming, and had Amitabha give him an opportunity to hear the Dharma during the Sumeru Mountain Dharma Assembly.

After the turtle emerged, it exuded a massive demonic power. Its true spirit bloodline was unafraid of lightning, let alone the Xuanwu, which was known for its thick skin and defense.

Its millstone-like body continued to grow in the air, transforming into a size of over ten zhang, and swam towards the sea of ​​thunder below.

The terrifying arcs of electricity that roamed in the void were enough to kill a sixth-order demon beast, but when they approached its shell, they were all repelled by a layer of yellowish shield.

Qin Ming also waved his hand and summoned one of his two generals, the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

Inside the Little Spirit Realm, the Xuan Shui Crocodile's injuries had almost completely healed after Qin Ming's treatment.

But before it could rest for long, it was sent out again.

The Devouring Sky Rat had just broken through to the sixth tier of demonic beasts and was itching to show off its skills, but seeing that the one sent out this time was the Black Water Crocodile, it immediately sighed:
"Sigh! Another great achievement has been stolen by the second brother."

Last time, the Xuan Shui Crocodile obtained a great opportunity in the Bodhi Tree Realm, but this time it watched helplessly as it was summoned away.

The Devouring Rat's sense of urgency instantly surged again.

Within the Thunder Sea Demon Ruins, the Xuan Shui Crocodile emerged and transformed into a giant crocodile over ten zhang in size, its entire body covered in dark golden thunder-patterned scales.

Arcs of five-colored divine lightning crackled all around him.

It awakened the true spirit bloodline of the Thunder Beast, and was perfectly at home in this environment.

Even though the Xuan Shui Crocodile is currently only at the fifth-order perfect realm, it is still able to adapt to the environment here.

The moment the Xuan Shui Crocodile appeared, it also controlled the power of lightning and, following Qin Ming's instructions, rushed straight towards the dozen or so withered heart-falling demon flowers.

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Chang'an couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and turned to Qin Ming, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Li's Thunder Crocodile spirit pet seems to be extraordinary! It can actually control the power of lightning. Although it has not yet broken through to the sixth level, it seems to possess a different kind of bloodline, and its future potential is limitless!"

"Fellow Daoist Li is able to cultivate the Spirit Summoning Fruit, which must be able to restore one's bloodline to its ancestral state. Even I, Gu, am truly envious."

"A mere unruly fellow, how can he compare to Fellow Daoist Gu's Xuan Turtle, which possesses the true Xuanwu bloodline and is one of the ancient primordial spirits?" Qin Ming replied calmly, his gaze drifting downwards.

Be vigilant about any situation that may arise at any time.

Upon seeing the Thunder Pool, the Xuan Shui Crocodile was filled with excitement and sent a telepathic message to Qin Ming:

"Master, the lightning-attribute elemental energy here is extremely dense, an environment that is extremely rare. I wish to use this opportunity to break through to the sixth-tier realm."

"Hmm? The current situation is not suitable for you to break through here. I will find an opportunity to bring the Thunder Pool into the Little Spirit Realm later. You should collect those immortal herbs for me first." Qin Ming secretly transmitted his voice to it.

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Shui Crocodile became extremely excited and immediately swam towards the Thunder Pool, shaking its head. Before long, it and the turtle arrived nearby.

Following Qin Ming's instructions, it released its bloodline supernatural power, using lightning to transform into several thin threads, and gently plucked the withered heart-falling demon flower rooted near the thunder pool.

The tortoise released a yellowish-brown light shield, absorbing all the incoming lightning.

Before long, the Xuan Shui Crocodile skillfully and successfully harvested several immortal herbs and put them in its large mouth.

Upon seeing this, Gu Chang'an, who was usually calm and composed, revealed a look of great joy.

But at this moment.

Within the Thunder Sea Demon Ruins, a sudden change occurs!

The two cultivators, Lu Laodao and Fang, who were originally engaged in a fierce battle with the four Void Beasts, had a strange and cunning glint in their eyes.

He channeled his magic power into the golden whisk in his hand, and instantly the spiritual light surged, with each long hair spreading out like a golden needle.

The moment the golden needle appeared, all the metal-attribute spiritual energy in the world was instantly drained and injected into the spiritual treasure.

It is clearly some kind of great supernatural power of the Wuji Dao Palace.

The Fang family member from Haoran Pavilion suddenly unleashed a powerful sixth-order talisman.

The talisman burst forth with a dazzling golden light in the void, and terrifying runic power swirled within it.

Suddenly.

A golden, arc-shaped halberd, filled with the aura of annihilation, grew from small to large in mid-air, transforming into a giant over ten zhang in the blink of an eye, and its power continued to increase.

Gu Chang'an turned around upon hearing the sound, revealing a hint of surprise, and said calmly, "It's actually a sixth-grade high-quality Golden Spear Heavenly Talisman. I didn't expect that there would be someone with such mastery of talismans in the Haoran Pavilion."

"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Ming looked in the direction of the voice.

But the next moment.

He observed the movements of the two men, and his pupils suddenly contracted. These two great supernatural powers were clearly not aimed at attacking the Void Beast.

Instead, they were heading towards their fellow cultivators who had their backs to them. Gu Chang'an also sensed something was wrong, and recalling Qin Ming's words, immediately shouted, "Not good! Watch out behind you!"

After saying that, he produced several sixth-order talismans and threw them at Fellow Daoist Lu and his companion as if they were free.

Qin Shujian, Master Kongzhi, and the others were using all their skills to fight the four terrifying Void Beasts, and their main attention was focused on them.

He was caught off guard by the sudden sneak attack from the two people behind him.

Rumble!
puff!

A terrifying golden spear ripped through the void, followed by screams of terror and anger.

Under the full force of a sneak attack comparable to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, a cultivator was immediately cut into several pieces along with his protective spiritual light, and even his primordial spirit could not escape.

Followed by.

The golden needles in Old Daoist Lu's hand also transformed into a rain of flying needles, piercing through the protective spiritual shields of several cultivators and targeting their vital points.

A dense, piercing sound filled the air.

This secret technique severely injured several fellow cultivators, leaving them all in a sorry state and forcing them to use their life-saving items.

But the four ferocious Void Beasts, seeing the opportunity, opened their mouths and cried out, unleashing their bloodline supernatural powers.

In an instant, two more cultivators were caught in the trap, their primordial spirits and souls sucked out of their bodies and into the mouths of these bloodthirsty beasts.

Qin Shujian's swordsmanship had reached the level of "Sword Heart Clarity," so he sensed the danger in advance and barely avoided the fatal blow from the Golden Spear Heavenly Talisman.

Even so, the magical power within his body surged and churned in chaos, and he looked at Lu Laodao and the other two with a look of shock and anger.

The kasaya worn by Master Kongzhi was a high-grade defensive spiritual treasure, which blocked many of the golden needle attacks for him.

"Old Master Lu, what are you two doing?"

The few survivors fled the scene, shouting and cursing at the two men as they did so.

After Lu Laodao and the Fang surnamed cultivator finished doing all this, they stared blankly at them and continued to launch their supernatural attacks.

In a short time, several unlucky cultivators, instead of dying in the mouths of the Void Beasts, died at the hands of their own people.

This sudden scene.

The Void Refinement Elders present knew what had happened without much thought.

The sixth-order talisman that Gu Chang'an used also swallowed the figures of Old Daoist Lu and the Confucian scholar surnamed Fang.

Boom Kaka!
Amidst the roar of magic, the two figures fell out in a sorry state, having been subjected to his relentless onslaught of talismans.

Even the cultivators from the two major sects of the Heavenly Brahma Domain couldn't withstand it.

Under the relentless bombardment of sixth-order talismans, two worm-like demonic energies and two demonic ice talismans burst forth from the two individuals' bodies. As soon as they were expelled, they vanished into nothingness.

It leaves no trace whatsoever.

Qin Ming also noticed the problem at this moment, and said with a dark face, "No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with these two. It turns out that they were tampered with by a high-level demon cultivator."

"They must have been watched on their way here."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked!

To be able to turn Old Daoist Lu and his companion into puppets right under the noses of these Void Refinement stage cultivators without them even noticing, one must undoubtedly be an extremely powerful cultivator among the demon race.

It could even be a fusion demon cultivator!

With this thought in mind, the old monsters no longer cared about treasures and opportunities. They directly resisted the four Void Beasts that came to open up the sea of ​​thunder and displayed their supernatural powers, preparing to break out of the Thunder Sea Demon Ruins.

But at this moment.

A violent burst of primal energy emanated from the space, causing the surrounding space to distort.

But then they saw that the bodies of the old Taoist Lu and the Confucian scholar surnamed Fang swelled up like rubber balls.

In an instant, a terrifying aura of destruction descended upon this space.

"Oh no! It's a self-destruction of the primordial spirit!!"

Qin Ming's eyelids twitched violently as he realized what the two guys were up to.

The self-destruction of the primordial spirit in the mid-to-late stages of the Void Refinement realm is powerful enough to threaten even cultivators at the Great Perfection realm; a slight misstep could lead to immediate death.

Gu Chang'an was quick-witted and immediately contacted his Xuan Turtle spirit pet.

In the blink of an eye, the turtle's size grew to the size of a mountain, and its enormous head roared to the sky.

In an instant, its immense demonic power surged, unleashing the bloodline supernatural power of the Xuanwu clan.

Suddenly, a hazy, tortoise-shell-shaped light curtain formed in the void, enveloping Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an.

Boom Kaka!
Almost instantly, two incandescent orbs of light suddenly rose from within the Thunder Sea Demon Ruins, like two suns rising from the ground!
The terrifying power of the self-destruction of the primordial spirit swept outwards, engulfing and devouring everything around it.
The exaggerated shockwave even created two void rifts several miles in diameter in the surrounding space.

After the residual force of the self-destruction of the primordial spirit dissipated, several disheveled figures were sent flying backward in exhaustion.

The original team of twelve was instantly reduced to more than half dead or wounded, with only Qin Shujian, Zichen Shenjun, and two other old monsters with slightly higher cultivation levels surviving.

Zi Chen Divine Lord survived the aftershocks of the two Void Refinement Great Perfection cultivators only because he possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of Void Refinement.

He watched all this with a gloomy expression, then turned and flew away to rejoin Qin Ming.

Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an remained unharmed, huddled beneath the giant tortoise shell.
Qin Ming had originally planned to unleash the Thunder Magnetic Divine Mountain, but seeing Gu Chang'an make his move, he decided not to reveal his trump card.

Master Kongzhi also suffered repeated severe injuries, narrowly escaping death and surviving.

He immediately showed a look of shock, and then, together with the other two who had luckily survived, he was about to fly over and join Qin Ming and the others.

"Humph!"

"A bunch of ants dare to covet our clan's treasures! They deserve to die!"

A cold snort followed.

A violent and terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly descended upon the sea of ​​lightning.

Master Kongzhi and the other two sensed this aura and their faces turned ashen.
In their vicinity.

Numerous cracks appeared in the void, and swirling vortexes of twisted wind blades instantly formed, engulfing and submerging the three figures.

Within the vortex of wind blades, several bursts of crimson blood mist exploded, annihilating the primordial spirit along with them.

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an's expressions changed. The others were alright, but this Master Kongzhi was not only a disciple of Zen Master Shenyin.

They were fellow Daoists with whom he had a good relationship, and seeing him perish here, their eyes immediately showed a complex expression.

As the three were instantly killed, ripples spread through the space, and strands of moonlight gathered, revealing the tall figure of a strange, silver-haired man.

The moment this person appeared, a terrifying aura of demonic power swept towards Qin Ming and his companions like a tidal wave.
