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

Chapter 253, Part 252: Thought is the Master, the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit Arrives in Succession
The Realm of the Dead.

The place that Li Chunfeng named "Yinfeng Grand Canyon".

Bypassing the "Zombie Mountain" in the north and the "Mysterious Yin River" in the west, it traverses the western and northern parts of this exposed continent. Its vast territory and abundance of undead creatures make it second only to the Bone Plains, where the ten previous lords reside, in the Yin Wind Grand Canyon.

There is only one entrance by land. The Yin Wind Grand Canyon is not only inhabited by undead creatures, but also by many ordinary evil spirits, Yin beasts, and even traces of other intelligent life forms.

The canyon is teeming with countless Yin Blood Oxen, Yin Wind Horses, and Ghost Howling Beasts, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands.

The ranks are all fourth rank and above.

At first glance, they all appear leisurely and harmless, but once someone offends them, the entire herd goes berserk, swarming to attack. Sometimes they even receive support from allies to drive away the intruder.

Unless it's a massive invasion by an entire ethnic group, they simply don't have the strength to provoke them.

However, it was in this very canyon of eerie winds that a large number of lantern ghosts appeared.

Scattered like stars, stretching to the horizon.

They lived carefree lives in this desolate wilderness.

Li Chunfeng took out a long-lost Soul-Guiding Incense from his storage fingernail.

With a flick of his fingers, he lit it.

In the past, a mere soul-summoning incense could only affect ghosts within a radius of a few dozen feet.

Now, with a thought, he spread the faint incense that guides the soul.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the distance. Thousands of lights turned on, and the bright, dazzling scene began to boil, rushing towards one direction.

Li Chunfeng quietly created clones.

Earthly Fiend Divine Power, Eighth Rank: Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke.

With the combined effects of 'Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke' and 'Phantom Clone', a massive array, 'The Curtain of the End,' was unfurled.

A continuously spreading curtain of darkness covered the entire Yin Wind Canyon area, including all the Yin beasts within. The howling winds within the canyon instantly ceased, creating an area of ​​absolute silence.

Sound could not travel within it, divine senses were confused, and both the Yin Beasts and the Lantern Ghosts moved slowly, their soul fires seemingly imprisoned.

It is gradually losing all its soul power and vitality, and its mental processing speed is also decreasing significantly.

As long as one is unable to break free from this curtain of finality, and given enough time passes, one will be completely unable to transcend it and will forever return to silence.

The nearby undead territories, based on their density, are estimated to have at least three thousand members each, indicating considerable strength.

Li Chunfeng's actions undoubtedly triggered the undead war.

On enemy territory, if one's strength is insufficient, it is naturally unwise to launch a war of the undead to forcibly conquer them; the enemy will respond in droves, and the more one fights, the fewer there will be.

But it doesn't matter.

Having been in contact with the Realm of the Dead for so long, he was quite familiar with many of its rules and had a firm grasp of them.

He had long since passed the stage of meticulously calculating and slowly hoarding space and claiming territory. With a single movement of his divine sense, he enveloped the entire canyon, and even if all the undead attacked together, they wouldn't cause him to lose a single hair.

With the grand formation in place, the rest can be left to the inner realm.

The realm manifested, and the extraordinary phenomenon of nine great mountains along with the Heavenly Lake reappeared, with a Bodhi tree obscuring the sky and the moon.

Once the Soul Fusion Divine Power was activated, the Heavenly Pool became like a well in the Netherworld, continuously absorbing the surrounding lantern ghosts.

All of it transformed into the nourishment needed to propel the lamp forward and leap up the crucial step of the ladder.

Time passes bit by bit.

Using a Lantern Ghost with a low-grade Spirit Rank talent, it would take over 11 billion to upgrade the "Soul Devouring" talent from a low-grade Heavenly Gang to a mid-grade Heavenly Gang.

To upgrade to the highest rank of the Heavenly Gang, it requires 34 billion+.

Upgrading a Lantern Ghost with a mid-grade Spirit Rank talent to a mid-grade Heavenly Gang Rank only requires a little over 1 million, while upgrading it to a high-grade Spirit Rank only requires 4300 million+, reducing the number of levels by six.

After gathering hundreds of millions of lantern ghosts in the entire canyon under his command, his Soul Devouring talent was finally upgraded to the middle grade of the Heavenly Gang.

It's still some distance from reaching the top rank of the Heavenly Gang.

That's enough.

Li Chunfeng was also concerned about improving his other innate spells.

Open the broken jade disc—

[Lighting the Lamp]: Mirror Abyss Level 3 → Level 4 (Tier 5)

【talent】:
1. Soul Devouring (Celestial Divine Power - Medium Grade)
To further master the laws of the soul, forge the divine and demonic embryo, and evolve the prototype of the Dao fruit.

Great Soul Devouring Technique!

Soul Suppression Killing Technique!
Lesser Reincarnation Technique!

Minor Divine Psychic Technique!

[Minor Divine Sense Technique: Evolves into the ultimate divine sense. It fuses with all divine sense-based spells and supernatural abilities, including 'Psychic Shield,' 'Psychic Fist,' 'Psychic Invisibility,' 'Battle Will Body,' and 'Void Handprint'! The power coefficient of the ultimate divine sense evolved by the Minor Divine Sense Technique is one hundred times that of those at the same realm!]

What is thought?
Thoughts, intentions, distracting thoughts, desires, greed, divine thoughts...

Emotions that originate from the depths of one's heart are called thoughts.

To put it in an inappropriate or not entirely accurate way, "reciting" means substituting one's own heart for the heart of Heaven, and one's own will for the will of Heaven.

Within this realm, the one who thinks is the master.

Those with profound spiritual cultivation can conjure up different forms with a single thought, depending on their visualization method, such as a black lotus, a sea of ​​fire, a collapsing sky, a glacier, a ley line, or the sky.

The [Minor Divine Mind Technique], a derived supernatural power, is the ultimate path for him to cultivate the power of thought through the path of the soul.

The ultimate thought, the ultimate thought, is invincible within the same realm.

Originally, with the enhancements from various sources, his powerful foundation, soul laws, and the twelfth-grade black lotus technique, his divine soul pressure at the fifth realm was comparable to that of the seventh realm.

Now that the ultimate thought has been revealed, he can truly secure his place among the seventh-level combat power.

As for the technique of forging the "Divine Demon Holy Embryo," it is also extremely unconventional.

Those who cultivate themselves should know that the greatest fear is the proliferation of wandering thoughts...

This great technique actually requires using all sorts of thoughts as the great medicine to forge the divine and demonic embryo!
This 'Divine Demon Holy Embryo' technique can nourish one's body by devouring thoughts.

Outwardly a saint, inwardly a demon—that is the essence of gods and demons!

Li Chunfeng immediately took it seriously.

Once the 'Divine Demon Holy Embryo' is forged, he will be able to forge a trace of immortal divinity within his divine soul, and the Dharma Aspect Realm will no longer be an obstacle.

……

II. Heart Lamp (Heavenly Divine Power - Superior Grade)
Mastering the Laws of the Heart Lamp, the branch of the Path of Light, the nascent form of the Dao Fruit!

An Eternal Lamp in the Heart!

The fire in my heart has been consumed!

Reflecting the vast universe!

Light of life!

Light Blade Wheel Slash!

The Great Barrier of Mind-Light and Womb-Concealment!
The Heart Lamp: The Yin-Yang Boundary!

[Supernatural Powers]:
Soul Cannon → Netherworld Ghost Fire: Heavenly Divine Power Level 6.

[Netherworld Ghost Fire: Stealing a wisp of the Netherworld's primordial fire seed, condensing it into a soul fire, the nascent form of a Dao Fruit. This Netherworld Ghost Fire is not the ghost fire of the intended purpose, but rather a fire derived from the primordial source of the eighteen levels of Netherworld Hell. It is an intangible substance, the life-giving fire of ghosts, and the source of their life. As the name suggests, it is a flame specifically designed to burn the soul, exceptionally vicious. For the soul, it is the life-giving fire of a naturally born ghost, fueled by the Qi of the Nine Netherworld Bamboo Grove, which can accelerate the growth of the Netherworld Ghost Fire.]

Phantom Clone: ​​(Earthly Fiend Divine Power Level 9 → Heavenly Gang Divine Power Level 3).

[Phantom Clone: ​​The pioneer of the Phantom Clone Dao Fruit, fusing the seeds of the 'Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke' divine power, the 'Symbiotic Chains' divine power, the 'Ghostly Shadow Escape' earth-rank technique seed, and the 'Self-Destruction' heaven-rank round technique seed, forging the prototype of the Phantom Clone Dao Fruit.]

Spear of the Night → God-Slaying Spear (Heavenly Divine Power, Tier 1).

[Godslayer Spear (Heavenly Divine Power Tier 1): The Spear of Netherworld Silence, a single spear to slay a god. The righteous are one foot high, the demons ten feet high; borrowing a wisp of the 'Godslayer Spear Shadow'!]...

It took Li Chunfeng a great deal of effort to fully digest the insights brought about by the transformation of his talent.

This promotion has brought about significant changes.

For Ran Deng, raising his main talent 'Soul Devouring' from the lower grade of the Heavenly Gang to the middle grade of the Heavenly Gang was only a small step, but it led to the transformation of all his other innate divine abilities into Heavenly Gang divine abilities.

The most significant impact will undoubtedly be on the Soul Dao Law brought by the Soul Devouring Talent and the Heart Lamp Law brought by the Heart Lamp Talent.

"The embryonic form of the Dao Fruit!"

This is also the first time that the name of the Dao Fruit has been formally listed on the incomplete jade disc.

Previously, his act of referring to all the power of the laws as the Dao Fruit clearly showed that he underestimated the significance of the Dao Fruit.

The level of the Earthly Fiend Laws is not even considered a true "Dao Fruit"!
Inside the small interior scene, several peculiar "fruits" had appeared on the crooked Bodhi tree, sometime before.

These are the "Prototypes of the Soul Dao Fruit!"

It was a miniature soul-devouring beast, wrapped around a tree trunk.

"A branch of the Path of Light, the Law of the Heart Lamp, the embryonic form of the Heart Lamp Dao Fruit!"

An antique bronze lamp hangs on the tree trunk.

"Soul Fire, Netherworld Ghost Fire, the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit!"

And "Phantom Clone, the Way of Clone, the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit!"

Finally, there was a phantom gun shadow, standing in mid-air.

The shadow of the spear was so illusory that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

However, even when Li Chunfeng himself borrowed the shadow of the divine spear, and his own divine powers manifested, he still felt a sense of dread upon glancing at it.

It's hard to imagine the terror and fear his enemies would experience if they were to face the bombardment of this gun.
What Li Chunfeng cared about most was the [Phantom Clone], which had finally advanced and undergone tremendous changes.

[Phantom Clone: ​​The pioneer of the Phantom Clone Dao Fruit, fusing the seeds of the 'Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke' divine power, the 'Symbiotic Chains' divine power, the 'Ghostly Shadow Escape' earth-rank technique seed, and the 'Self-Destruction' heaven-rank round technique seed, forging the prototype of the Phantom Clone Dao Fruit.]

[It can divide into countless forms, with a maximum of 108 million clones, each possessing 50% of the original's strength. It employs techniques such as Phantom Shift, Phantom Illusion, Bewitching Invasion, Phantom Chaos, Illusionary Domain, Beacon Fire, and Symbiotic Chains. From one lamp, it illuminates all, until all lamps shine!]

[By fusing with the 'Symbiotic Chains' divine power seed, it can absorb 50% of the damage to the main body, and the clone can withstand 50% of the main body's divine soul power. As long as the clone is destroyed, the main body is immortal.]

[By fusing with the 'Beacon Fire and Smoke' divine power seed, it can evolve into the 'Curtain of the End' grand formation.]

One hundred and eight million clones, each possessing fifty percent of his own divine soul strength.

Its power goes far beyond what can be summarized by realm level.

As the saying goes, one must be strong to forge iron.

Now that Li Chunfeng has reached his level, he is bearing powerful supernatural abilities that he should not be able to bear.

Having great supernatural powers is a good thing, but without the physical strength to unleash those powers, the supernatural abilities and results are meaningless.

Using the Heavenly Gang - Phantom Clone technique once consumes thirty million divine soul thoughts.

With Li Chunfeng's own soul power reserves, plus the soul power of Randeng, it would only be enough for him to use it once by chance before he would "run out of energy and the lamp would burn out".

But he couldn't wait any longer.

Holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises naturally.

It was precisely the time to sharpen one's sword and prepare to strike the lord.

With a casual snap of the camera, a spatial wormhole was opened.

The solidity of the space in the Netherworld was the best he had ever experienced in all the worlds he had been to.

However, opening a passage back to the Plains of Bones is more than enough.

Moreover, with the "Unlimited Heavenly Demon Escape" technique at his disposal, Li Chunfeng's understanding of the Dao of Space became even more profound.

Returning to familiar ground.

Li immediately spotted the enormous handprint left behind when he left earlier.

The earth was slammed down ten feet.

Having been away for a long time, the security on the Bone Plains had been significantly strengthened. With a single thought, they immediately spotted many powerful figures of sixth-tier undead.

This will make it convenient to replace my personal guards—the undead servants—in the future!
Li Chunfeng immediately spread his divine sense to search. With the powerful sense of his divine sense, he sensed a hidden territory of the dead. There were at least tens of millions of powerful bone spirits around it. The territory was filled with a strong soul pressure aura, which should be one of the ten lords.

I wonder if it's someone I know?
Even if some undead species have a king, they rarely take the initiative to invade and expand; they are simply too easily satisfied.

From what he discovered, there were two large territories nearby, each worth tens of millions.

These lords didn't even think about conquering and annexing them; instead, they coexisted peacefully and formed alliances.
Now that they are undead, they should abide by the law of the jungle. Countless living beings are vying to cross the narrow bridge; with so many rules in the underworld, how can anyone possibly reach the other shore?

Of course.

If their power were any greater, Li Chunfeng might not have dared to challenge them rashly.

After all, with so many powerful subordinates, even if they possess the ability to create clones, they might not necessarily win in terms of numbers.

According to the rules of the dead realm.

When the strength of the two beings is roughly equal, they often choose to resolve disputes through one-on-one combat, which is exactly what he needs.

Li Chunfeng immediately ceased hiding and merged with the Heavenly Demon and with the Burning Lamp.

He was like a god or demon descending to earth, radiating a powerful divine aura that directly threatened the Bone Spirit Lord.

"I, the Immortal Wind, the Sovereign of the Soul Path, issue you a Lord Challenge!"

The boundless divine sense of the ultimate path crashed down without reservation, repeatedly conveying the same message: I'm about to unleash my fury!
Upon first contact, the soul fluctuation quickly understood his intentions and was immediately filled with a hint of anger, "It's you again, you little ant! Soul Dao Master, how dare you speak so arrogantly!"

"I, Gahasan Angulo, the Fifth Thorn Bone Spirit Lord, hereby formally accept your challenge in accordance with the rules of the Dead Realm!"

Li Chunfeng took the initiative to cut off contact.

Before long, the peaceful plains of bones were suddenly thrown into turmoil. Countless undead began to move slowly, gradually clearing a battlefield as they approached from afar.

According to the rules of the Dead Realm, in a one-on-one duel between a Lord-level or higher powerhouse, no other undead creature, no matter how powerful, can interfere.

However, the natal demon pet is an exception. Although it is in harmony with its master's soul and is no different from the master himself, it is not subject to the rules.

In fact, even if he didn't follow the challenge rules, he would still have a better chance of winning if he used hundreds of millions of clones to fight against an army of tens of millions of undead.

They were willing to abide by the rules, naturally unwilling to give the covetous lord next to them the opportunity to team up and beat them up!

This time, the Thorn Bone Spirit Lord did not slap him upon their first meeting.

Li Chunfeng's ultimate divine sense gave him a warning.

Although it didn't understand exactly what was happening, the little ant certainly possessed the strength to contend with him.

The figure of Gahasan Angul, the Thorn Bone Spirit Lord, has appeared.

It was a bone spirit giant ten zhang tall, its entire skeleton shimmering like starlight.

The sixth realm of Bone Spirits is called Star Bone Spirit, which involves the Dao of Stars. In fact, it has been immersed in the Dao of Stars for countless years.

Just by thinking about his own 'Heavenly Rank - Star Soul Bone' inheritance, Li Chunfeng knew that the Thorn Lord's body was incredibly powerful and should not be underestimated!

His "Star Devouring God Magic" inheritance does indeed have greater potential, but unfortunately, he has not cultivated it for long enough.

This challenge is absolutely the strongest enemy and the strongest battle I have faced since I began my cultivation!
The thorns were already in position, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Shu~"

Li Chunfeng immediately unleashed his full power of supernatural abilities.

Hundreds of millions of clones were arrayed in the void.

"Come and fight!"
