Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 227, Part 226: The Snow Season Ends, Gray Fog Arrives

Cat Spirit Tribe.

After sending off the Blood Elephant, Xiangjue did not stay put. Instead, he turned around and led his team straight to the place where the Cat Spirit Tribe held a sacrificial ceremony.

"Boom~"

Lin Jichen awoke with a start, reaching out and grabbing a divine sword. His body instinctively crouched in a recessed stone pit under the bed. Once fully conscious, he realized the violent tremors had originated from within the mountain, and a pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils.

"Oh no, they've finally made their move!" He transformed into a wandering spirit and joined the Cat Spirit Clan, but was not given any important positions. Fortunately, he had warned the Cat Spirit Clan's spirit shaman and leader several times beforehand, hoping to hold out a little longer.

The somersault cloud sped through the snowstorm, unsurprisingly attracting the attention of the snow demon horde.

The snow demons never hesitate to display their terrifying power when faced with any creature that dares to venture out into the snowstorm. But this time, they willingly offer their protection, becoming the king's vanguard.

The vicious snow demons not only didn't attack them, but also cleared a path for the somersault cloud... If the native spirit races saw this, they would be utterly astonished.

But this miraculous scene went unnoticed by the people inside the Somersault Cloud.

The forces of the Dragon Horn Tribe and the Dragon Lantern Base finally met inside the Somersault Cloud. They stared at each other in disbelief. The Dragon Lantern Base side was surprised by the formidable strength of their local tribesmen (more than a dozen fifth-tier totem warriors). Given the close proximity, if these tribesmen decided to launch a counterattack, they estimated that few of their 30,000 men would survive.

The Dragonhorn Clan totem warriors were astonished. How could there be so many Dragon Lantern Spirit Shamans? When did shamans become so numerous in the wasteland?

The two sides sized each other up but didn't exchange many words.

Until Li Chunfeng broke them up and reorganized them into thirty-six teams.

This resulted in each team having more soul cultivators than totem warriors, with the warriors becoming the ones being protected. In particular, these Dragon Lantern Clan spirit shamans were extremely polite to every Dragon Horn totem warrior, which truly flattered the group of roughnecks from the Dragon Horn Clan.

Li Chunfeng, who was riding the Somersault Cloud at high speed, suddenly frowned. A message from Lin Jichen came through the sword token.

The Moonlight Elephant Tribe's timing in launching an attack at this crucial moment was so perfect that he began to suspect that there might be a spy on his side.

"Preserve yourself! We'll be there soon!"

After Li Chunfeng gave him a message, he accelerated at full speed, and the Somersault Cloud transformed into a wisp of smoke, quickly crossing the wind and snow, and arriving at a snowy forest.

The snow covered the ancient trees in a silvery white, and the Cat Spirits lived deep in this forest.

Upon arriving above the Cat Spirit Tribe, they could see a strangely shaped priest deity attacking several Moonlight Elephants and the powerful Spirit King from afar.

[Scaranti: Cat Spirit Priestess, a subordinate deity of the Goddess of Death!]

This cat spirit's priestess has the body of a large cat, but with two small wings on its back, and its mouth is slightly open, revealing sharp teeth inside.

The most peculiar thing is that it has no eyes on its head. Instead, its eyes are in the place of another round mouth that wriggles like a meat grinder. Its real eyes are on its tail, with a large eye connected to the tip of the tail, which is rolling around.

As expected of a sacrificial animal, its appearance alone can make a child cry.

But as the clan's sacred deity, he was originally the supreme being in the tribe, yet now he was being suppressed and beaten by outsiders.

Li Chunfeng was lamenting the tragic fate of the sacrificial deity, unaware that Xiang Jue and the others were astonished by the sudden display of such fighting prowess by the sacrificial deity of this small tribe.

In the Spirit Realm, many who perform sacrificial rites in Spirit Clan tribes are related to gods, some even being descendants of ancient deities. However, the title of "sacrificial rite" is often merely an honorific. Without igniting the divine fire, they are considered false gods, unable to suppress destiny. In the eyes of larger tribes, they are simply powerful beings possessing some strange and mysterious abilities.

The sacred deity of the Lingxiang tribe is a true ancient god who has ignited a divine fire and possesses immense power. This is why he looks down on the sacred deities of other smaller tribes.

When they were out and about, they often plundered small tribes and killed their sacrificial gods.

The Cat Spirit Tribe is not a large tribe, with a population of less than 50,000. I thought that the priests of such a small tribe would be easy to control, but who knew they would be so difficult to deal with.

It was one thing for a Dragonhorn tribe to have emerged previously.

Although it has declined, it is reasonable that it still has some historical foundations, given its connection to the ancient dragon god.

What is the Cat Spirit Tribe anyway?

Seeing the heated exchange below, Li Chunfeng was happy to oblige.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he opened a teleportation wormhole. An invisible hand reached into the wormhole and pulled out a slightly disheveled spirit shaman.

Lin Jichen stood up warily, his body still covered in blood, his weapon gripped tightly, maintaining a fighting stance.

When he finally saw Li Chunfeng in front of him and the massive army behind him, he shuddered.

He then realized that he was saved, and the person in front of him must be...

"Second Lieutenant Lin Jichen greets...Sir!"

The thought of fighting the Moonlight Elephant tribe and being captured without any resistance made him even more respectful of the major in front of him.

Li Chunfeng patted him on the shoulder and said with a kind smile, "Lieutenant Lin Jichen, just call me Feng Wu. Don't be nervous, you're safe now, welcome home! Behind you are mostly your compatriots."

Lin Jichen felt a surge of excitement. He glanced at the dark army again. Apart from some totem warriors, the rest should all be fellow countrymen from the Earthly Realm.

When people met his gaze, they all gave him friendly looks.

Lin Jichen's days of anxiety were finally over. He felt a little like crying and bowed deeply once again, saying, "Thank you for saving me, sir."

"Hmm, are you injured?"

"Never."

"That's good. You don't have to participate in this battle; just stand beside me and watch."

"Yes, thank you sir."

"Jing Min'er, Lieutenant Lin Jichen has made meritorious contributions in reconnaissance of the enemy situation, which has been recorded."

"Yes!" A young woman in the staff received the order, casually flipped through the merit book, and quickly wrote it down.

Li Chunfeng turned his head and continued to look at the battle in the distance.

The somersault cloud did not obstruct everyone's view; those with the ability used their eye techniques to get a closer look.

"Buzz!"

As expected of a sixth-tier spirit king who came from a large tribe, Xiang Jue's gaze was icy. After fighting the sacrificial god for several rounds, he finally used his true killing move to attack and kill the false god.

An ancient rune appeared in his palm, dazzling and bright, illuminating the sky. With a loud boom, a fierce aura spread, and a blood-red ferocious elephant materialized from the rune, pouncing towards the cat spirit priestess Scalanti.

Scarlandi was not alarmed. With a meow, a black light fell, and a moon appeared, casting a brilliant glow in front of it.

The Blood Elephant is fierce, with long tusks like hunting rifles, carrying a sense of vicissitude and antiquity, as if it has crossed time and space from ancient times to join the battle!
Once within attack range, two beams of blood-red light suddenly shot out from the ivory, striking the eyes of the cat spirit's tail.

next moment.

Two beams of blood-red light blasted the eyeballs apart.

The cat spirit sacrifice emitted the cry of a baby, its voice extremely shrill, constantly provoking its opponent and shattering everything intact around it.

Wherever the sound waves passed, rocks shattered and trees shattered. Anyone who approached the battlefield, whether from the Cat Spirit Clan or the Spirit Elephant Clan, friend or foe, was shaken to the ground and bled from all seven orifices. Even the blood-red ferocious elephant's body made cracking sounds, as if countless cracks had appeared on its surface, like porcelain.

Seeing that the attack had worked, Xiang Jue raised his shield, withstood the sonic shock, and once again unleashed his crimson spiritual light. The surging energy of heaven and earth transformed into countless ivory spears, carrying a vast divine power, and slashed towards the cat spirit sacrifice.

This was a clash of supernatural powers, overflowing with brilliance, with energy fragments scattering everywhere.

Li Chunfeng remained expressionless.

Tai Shiboren and the others looked on with grim expressions.

"This is the sixth-tier battle in the Spirit Realm. The power of this battle, even the aftershocks, can wipe them out time and time again. Is this really a battle we can participate in?"

The battle continued.

Others, lacking the necessary understanding, could only watch the spectacle.

Li Chunfeng, however, realized that the battle was nearing its end.

Elephant Jue's supernatural powers were ultimately superior, and the ferocious elephant he summoned possessed formidable power.

"boom!"

He shattered the blood-red ferocious elephant, gathering all his energy into a massive blood-red ivory spear, aiming directly at the vulnerable spot in the cat spirit's abdomen. It possessed a powerful momentum, with a cold glint arriving first followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon.

This shot did not disappoint him; it pierced directly through the body of the Cat Spirit God.

The cat spirit let out a miserable scream.

This also caused great anxiety among tens of thousands of Cat Spirits. They wanted to help their sacred god, but such a powerful force was firmly blocked by the smaller Moonlight Elephant tribe.

"The time has come!"

Li Chunfeng stopped observing.

With a wave of his hand, countless clones of burning lamps appeared and floated down onto the heads of everyone.

Some people were still curiously looking up at the red lanterns, while those with keen senses were already horrified.

"It's actually a fourth-tier Lantern Ghost clone!"

"...and so many!"

"Just how strong is Your Excellency, Commander?"

Li Chunfeng coldly surveyed the nearly 40,000-strong army, his gaze carrying a hint of oppressive power that caused all those who looked in his direction to avoid his gaze and dare not meet his eyes.

A somber atmosphere permeated the entire venue.

"Gentlemen, if we encounter the Cat Spirit Clan in this battle, surrender if you can, otherwise kill if you don't! Our main enemies are the Moonlight Elephant Tribe. Do not let any Moonlight Elephant Clan member go."

"Protect my spirit lamp avatar well; it can save your lives in a critical moment. The opportunity to make a name for yourself has arrived. Take action!"

The somersault cloud moved in an instant, sending batches of troops into all directions of the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of a powerful enemy, like hailstones, rained down on the battlefield, catching both sides off guard.

"Brothers of the Cat Spirit Tribe, don't panic! Reinforcements from the Dragon Horn Tribe have arrived!"

"Don't let a single enemy escape!"

Li Chunfeng's voice was omnipresent, echoing in every corner. He was true to his word, and with a wave of his hand, eight hundred level-five undead servants descended upon the battlefield, directly confronting the Moonlight Elephant Tribe's forces.

He himself even appeared directly on the battlefield between Xiangjue and Maolingjishen.

Elephant Jue coldly watched the troops descending overhead, a disdainful smile on his face. He impaled the massive body of the cat spirit priest on his ivory spear. The cat spirit priest, Scaranti, was not yet dead, but she was powerless to break free from the spear formed from divine power. She was impaled in mid-air, struggling incessantly, her priestly dignity utterly destroyed.

"It is you who makes my nephew restless all day long. Let me see what you are capable of, daring to disregard the great tribes."

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Li Chunfeng had barely finished speaking.

"hold head high!"

A massive dragon claw, crackling with azure lightning, burst forth from the void and gripped the crimson ivory spear.

With a loud clang, the blood-red ivory spear and the Azure Thunder Dragon Claw shattered simultaneously.

Cat Spirit Sacrifice was struck by two divine powers simultaneously, letting out a shrill scream as its body was suddenly torn in two and thrown away, but it also broke free from the ivory spear's restraint.

"court death!"

Enraged, Xiangjue shook his body, and all the totems on his body lit up. A colossal phantom of a spirit elephant, towering into the sky, appeared around him, intending to crush Li Chunfeng alive with its hooves as solid as pillars of heaven. This determined stomp, however, missed its mark. Wherever it touched, the ground cracked like a spiderweb, and the entire dark forest trembled.

A giant dragon shattered the clouds in the sky and relentlessly attacked the enormous spirit elephant.

Countless bolts of Taiyi divine lightning crashed down, blasting the enormous spiritual elephant into an even more transparent state.

The next instant, the sky suddenly lit up.

Countless lantern ghosts appeared in the sky, the curtain of darkness was drawn back, and the entire battlefield was stripped away. Immediately afterwards, countless soul cannons lit up with red light from the darkness, and the soul cannons crashed down, bombarding Xiang Jue relentlessly.

Xiangjue calmly summoned his natal spirit elephant, merged with it, and resisted the attack.

A moonlight-like shield rose around him, resisting the terrifying bombardment.

Li Chunfeng had already experienced the same move once before, but the Moonlight Shield defensive technique, when executed by Xiang Jue, was several times stronger than when executed by Xiang Jiu.

The Soul Cannon attack of the Burning Lamp clone has limited effectiveness; only by having the Burning Lamp's main body continuously attack can the shield be repeatedly breached with large holes.

But Xiangjue's realm is higher, and with continuous repair, the large hole is rapidly recovering.

Even so, it still greatly surprised Xiangjue.

This Moonlight Shield is a significant technique, one of the most representative innate divine abilities of the Moonlight Elephant Clan, and a symbol of the Elephant Tribe's royalty. As a sixth-tier Spirit King with pure blood, Xiang Jue has already honed this divine ability to perfection. Ordinary attacks landing on the Moonlight Shield are like tickling an itch.

But today, the Moonlight Spirit Image technique, which was supposed to be indestructible, was as fragile as paper, shattering at the slightest touch.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

If Li Chunfeng had encountered this a month or so ago, the stalemate might have continued for a while. The current Li is no longer the same person with the Earthly Fiend talent he once possessed.

Supernatural powers, only supernatural powers can deal with it.

Li Chunfeng sensed the fluctuations of the light-based laws within the opponent's divine power, and felt that the light in the opponent's hand was flowing like water.

"Military tactics are not fixed, just as water has no fixed shape."

Their ability to manipulate the water as smoothly as flowing water is indeed commendable.

He immediately changed his tactics, and a small candle flame appeared in his palm.

The candle flame swayed wildly in the cold wind, looking as if it might be blown out at any moment, yet it could not be extinguished no matter what.

Li Chunfeng, seemingly unperturbed, tossed the candle flame downwards.

The candlelight flickered and moved slowly, yet it landed steadily on the moonlight shield.

The fire ignited on the moonlight shield, enveloping Elephant Jue in a fireball.

"Boom~"

Burning Lamp threw a punch, tearing another large hole in the shield.

This time, before the Moonlight Shield could be repaired, it was breached by the all-pervasive flames.

Xiangjue felt a burning heat all over his body. Upon scanning his inner vision, he saw that his heart was burning with intense flames.

He tried to break free and escape, but the flames, like fire and light, had transformed into an invisible lock, binding him within.

The fire within him had ignited, transforming into a world-destroying flame that would incinerate everything, threatening to burn him to ashes.

Unable to withstand the shield's protection any longer, he withdrew from the fusion. The spirit elephant let out a bellow, and he summoned a blood-red ivory spear, thrusting it towards Li Chunfeng with a thunderous roar.

"hold head high!"

A giant dragon that had been waiting for a long time descended from the sky, grabbed the spirit elephant with its claws, and flew straight into the sky.

Li Chunfeng faced Xiang Jue alone, raised his left palm towards him, and shook hands from afar.

The entire void began to collapse silently, and a small spatial storm swept through Xiangjue, causing a devastating blow to all matter and energy within this space.

It is the spatial supernatural power - the revelation of chaos.

……

On a long journey, a group of people rode elephants through the wind and snow.

They dared not fly high, for the sky in the snowstorm was the territory of the snow demons, and in this harsh weather, they could only travel on the ground, so their speed was naturally slow.

Although the journey was arduous, the tense nerves of the blood vessels gradually relaxed.

The danger is receding, and his decision was correct.

It's a pity that his second uncle didn't listen to him and didn't leave with him.

"I wonder how my second uncle is doing now?"

Just as I was thinking this, "Click~"

Suddenly, a shattering sound came from his robes. Blood Elephant's face stiffened, and he reached into his robes in disbelief, pulling out an ivory token.

The once intact Spirit Elephant Token is now broken into eight pieces.

"Second uncle!"

Blood Elephant clenched his fist tightly, gripping the token firmly in his hand.

……

In the forest, the battle on the periphery was still ongoing, but the sixth-order battle at the core had already been decided.

This result undoubtedly dealt another blow to the pride of those geniuses.

They were facing a sixth-tier being, and they easily defeated him as if cutting melons and vegetables, while the others were still locked in a fierce battle.

We are all students, yet you stand out from the crowd!

Li Chunfeng swallowed and refined Xiang Jue's soul in one gulp.

This person's entire life's memories have been crystallized into memories and thoughts, which he can refine and obtain at any time if he wishes.

This is the power of the initial mastery of the Soul Dao Law.

"aim!"

Suddenly, a faint cry reached my ears.

Li Chunfeng scooped up the cat spirit sacrificial god from the shattered void, where the cat spirit was still rapidly repairing its physical body.

The vicious cat not only showed no gratitude, but also bared its teeth at Li Chunfeng, revealing another eye hidden among its fangs.

"So ungrateful... then you should just die."

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and forcibly extracted a cat spirit's primordial spirit, swallowing it whole.

"hold head high!"

A colossal azure dragon descended from the sky, its claws clutching the carcass of a sixth-tier giant elephant.

"Master, here, the offerings!"

Li Chunfeng said, "You're quite enthusiastic about this. Let's keep it for now. There's also a younger one who ran away. You should know that. Go and find him."

"it is good."

The Cat Spirit Tribe was stronger than both the Black Flame Tribe and the Dragon Horn Tribe. Even though the sacrificial god had fallen and the morale of the tens of thousands of tribespeople was extremely low, they did not immediately collapse.

They are not only the followers of the Cat God, but also believers of the Goddess of Death, making them even more resistant.

But with an offensive far exceeding that of their tribe, defeat was only a matter of time.

By the time the snowstorm was about to end, all the shamans of the Cat Spirit Tribe had been killed, and all the high-ranking totem warriors had perished, leaving only more than 10,000 catwomen and children.

At that moment, a silver moon appeared in the sky.

The wind stopped, and the snow melted.

The snow fairies, treading on the last snowflakes, mysteriously disappeared into the sky, just as mysteriously as they had come.

People from various tribes in the wilderness emerged from their dwellings and looked up at the bright moon overhead. "The long snow season is finally over."

Behind this heavy snow, many things that people are unaware of have quietly happened.

Some tribal territories have been completely shrouded in gray fog.

They will never see such a bright crescent moon rise into the sky again.
