Chapter 200 The Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains (Please Subscribe!)

The Purple Flame Firebird is extremely powerful; even ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivators are no match for this demonic beast.

Moreover, once a demon beast breaks through to the third rank, its intelligence is greatly enhanced, making it no different from human cultivators. Furthermore, they all possess the ability to transform into human form.

Lu Cheng'an's subjugation of the Purple Flame Firebird is no different from subjugating a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, which is a very difficult thing to do.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, you will later use the Jade Soul Immortal Light, a minor divine power, to seal the power of the Purple Flame Firebird for me. You will then see how I subdue the Purple Flame Firebird!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled mysteriously. He quickly cast a spell, slightly releasing the sealing power of the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron. The Purple Flame Firebird, which was sealed inside the cauldron, struggled even more fiercely.

"Then let me see Fellow Daoist Lu's methods!" Shi Ningyu chuckled softly. After sensing the power of the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow in the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, she immediately used the Jade Soul Immortal Light, a minor divine power, to strike the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow's body.

The Purple Flame Firebird's power has not fully recovered, and now, suddenly attacked by the Jade Soul Immortal Light, it has no ability to resist at all.

In an instant, the Purple Flame Firebird lost the strength to struggle. Its body quickly stiffened and showed signs of turning into jade.

Lu Cheng'an had been keeping a close eye on the power of the Purple Flame Firebird. After sensing that the Purple Flame Firebird had lost its ability to resist, he quickly cast an extremely profound incantation.

At this moment, a grayish-white magic seal condensed at his fingertips. He gently pressed this magic seal against his brow, and the divine power in his sea of ​​consciousness quickly intertwined within the grayish-white magic seal, converging into a grayish-white talisman.

After the talisman, which was basically formed from divine power, was completed, Lu Cheng'an chanted an incantation and instantly sent the talisman into the sea of ​​consciousness of the Purple Flame Firebird.

Once a demon beast's cultivation breaks through to the third rank, its sea of ​​consciousness will open up, and its divine soul will reside within it.

However, the spiritual power of demonic beasts is much weaker than that of human cultivators, but the strength of their physical bodies is incomparable to that of human cultivators.

The talisman that Lu Cheng'an conjured was called the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra. This mantra was a method for controlling demonic beasts recorded in the beast-taming inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect.

The Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul-Conquering Secret Incantation was not difficult to condense; Lu Cheng'an successfully condensed it in just five days.

However, the conditions for practicing the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra are extremely demanding, requiring the cultivator to possess extremely powerful spiritual energy.

Moreover, this secret incantation can only control demonic beasts whose spiritual power is lower than that of the incantation caster. Once the demonic beast destroys the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Incantation, the caster will also suffer extremely severe backlash.

Lu Cheng'an had been quite interested in the art of beast taming before. After obtaining the beast taming inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect, he discovered the existence of the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling and Soul-Controlling Secret Spell.

However, he had not found a suitable demon beast to raise at that time, so he did not spend time learning this secret incantation.

Later, after learning which third-tier demonic beasts entered the Burning Flame Mountain Range from the Hong'e Mountain Range, he became extremely interested in the Purple Flame Firebird and inquired about its details from Master Chunqiu.

After that, Lu Cheng'an had the idea of ​​suppressing the third-tier demon beast, the Purple Flame Firebird, and taming it using the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul Secret Spell.

The combined power of him and Shi Ningyu was extremely formidable. After the Purple Flame Firebird was invaded by the power of the Jade Soul Immortal Light cast by Shi Ningyu, he successfully sealed the Purple Flame Firebird in the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

Lu Cheng'an quickly infused the talisman condensed from the Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell into the soul of the Purple Flame Firebird. The power of this secret spell instantly enveloped the soul of the Purple Flame Firebird and merged with its soul power in an instant.

Unless the Purple Flame Firebird's soul power surpasses Lu Cheng'an's, or a Nascent Soul level cultivator intervenes, the Purple Flame Firebird will be unable to escape Lu Cheng'an's control.

"Please, Fellow Daoist Shi, withdraw the power of the Jade Soul Immortal Light and let me test this beast-taming technique!"

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he completely released the seal of the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron. Shi Ningyu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she dissipated the power of the Jade Soul Immortal Light within the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow.

She also wanted to see Lu Cheng'an's methods, but even if Lu Cheng'an's methods had no effect on the Purple Flame Firebird, she and Lu Cheng'an could still suppress the Purple Flame Firebird again.

"What have you two lowly human fodder done to me?!"

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu withdrew their power at the same time, the Purple Flame Firebird immediately broke free from the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

He spread his enormous wings, and dense purple flames billowed out. He was about to unleash his most powerful Heaven-Burning Demon Art to attack Lu Cheng'an and the other man.

A cold smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He chanted an incantation, and a grayish-white light appeared at his fingertips.

At this moment, the power of the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul Secret Spell, which was originally hidden in the soul of the Purple Flame Firebird, resurfaced. The grayish-white talisman completely enveloped the soul of the Purple Flame Firebird, preventing it from mobilizing even a trace of divine consciousness.

Whether it's a human cultivator or a demon beast, casting spells requires the power of divine sense.

The Taiyuan Demon Control Soul Secret Spell has now sealed off all the power of the Purple Flame Firebird, which means that the Purple Flame Firebird can no longer use any demonic arts, and even activating its magic power has become extremely difficult.

Of course, the power of the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra is not limited to this. After sealing the divine consciousness of the Purple Flame Firebird, the power of the mantra began to act on the Purple Flame Firebird's physical body.

In an instant, the Purple Flame Firebird felt as if its entire body was being torn apart by millions of ants, or as if its flesh and blood were being cut off bit by bit. An indescribable pain instantly spread throughout the Purple Flame Firebird's body.

Even the mighty Purple Flame Fire Sparrow couldn't withstand such excruciating pain. It let out a series of shrill screams and cursed Lu Cheng'an incessantly.

However, after this torment lasted for a short while, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow's curses turned into pleas for mercy, hoping that Lu Cheng'an would stop torturing him.

Lu Cheng'an ignored it until, after a quarter of an hour, the Purple Flame Firebird's huge body went limp on the ground, barely able to utter a sound of begging for mercy.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an cast a spell, putting the half-dead Purple Flame Firebird back into the Golden Prison Heaven-Suppressing Palace and sealing it away once more.

"What kind of spell did Fellow Daoist Lu use?" Shi Ningyu asked.

The power of that spell was so terrifying that even a powerful demon beast like the Purple Flame Firebird couldn't withstand it for even a moment.

Shi Ningyu was certain that it wouldn't be long before Lu Cheng'an would completely subdue the Purple Flame Firebird.

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and took out a jade slip from his storage ring: "What I just used was the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul Spell. This is a spell to control demon beasts recorded in the Beast Taming Inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect. This jade slip contains the cultivation method of the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul Spell. Fellow Daoist Shi can take a look."

After Lu Cheng'an successfully mastered the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra, he inscribed the cultivation method of this mantra into a jade slip, intending to give it to Shi Ningyu for cultivation.

Shi Ningyu's spiritual power is strong enough. If she successfully cultivates the Taiyuan Demon Control and Soul Mantra, she can also use this technique to tame a powerful early-stage third-tier demon beast.

In this way, they would gain two powerful combatants comparable to early-stage Golden Core cultivators. Although the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul-Conquering Secret Spell is extremely powerful, it also has significant limitations.

Even for powerful figures like Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, their spiritual power could only control a third-stage early-stage demon beast.

After a slight hesitation, Shi Ningyu took the jade slip from Lu Cheng'an and began to quickly examine the contents recorded on it.

"The Burning Flame Sect truly lives up to its name. Even its relatively unknown Beast Taming inheritance possesses an incredibly strong foundation!" Shi Ningyu sighed softly.

She received the inheritance of the Divine Jade Sect. Although the Divine Jade Sect, a Nascent Soul sect, was also extremely powerful, it was still no match for the Burning Flame Sect at its peak.

“With Fellow Daoist Shi’s spiritual power, if you successfully cultivate the Taiyuan Demon-Controlling Soul Secret Spell, you can also rely on this spell to tame a powerful early-stage third-tier demon beast and enhance your own strength!” Lu Cheng’an said.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

After thanking Lu Cheng'an, Shi Ningyu put away the jade slip and then bid him farewell.

She only dared to come to Chiyan Mountain to provide support after receiving a rescue message from Lu Cheng'an and learning that all the Azure Flame Fire Lions had been mobilized.

If even a single third-tier demonic beast remained untouched in the Burning Flame Mountains, she wouldn't dare leave the Pill Cauldron Sect without permission.

The Dan Ding Sect is also a cultivation force near the Burning Flame Mountains, and it is highly likely that it will be attacked by the monsters in the Burning Flame Mountains.

Now that the Azure Flame Lion and other third-tier demonic beasts have withdrawn from Crimson Smoke Mountain, Shi Ningyu is unsure whether they will return directly to Burning Flame Mountain Range.

Shi Ningyu dared not gamble, which is why she was in such a hurry to leave Chiyan Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, please be careful. If the Azure Flame Fire Lion fails to attack Crimson Smoke Mountain this time, it is very likely that it will target the Pill Cauldron Sect."

"If you are attacked, send me a message immediately, and I will come to your aid right away!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

He and Shi Ningyu are currently in a state of mutual support and assistance; if anything happens to either of them, it will have a huge impact on the other.

Not to mention the third-tier demonic beasts like the Azure Flame Lion, even the Golden Core cultivators Chongxu and Longshi from the Heavenly Flame Sect would retaliate against them.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you must also be careful!"

Shi Ningyu did not linger at Chiyan Mountain. She quickly left Chiyan Mountain and returned to Dan Ding Sect at high speed.

The Azure Flame Lion did not lead his demon beasts to attack the Pill Cauldron Sect. After retreating from Crimson Smoke Mountain with the Devouring Python Golden Toad and other demon beasts, he returned directly to the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

He then immediately relayed the situation of the human cultivators around the Burning Flame Mountains back to the Hong'e Mountains, indicating that the information they had previously collected was incorrect.

There is more than just the Heavenly Flame Sect as a Golden Core power near the Burning Flame Mountains. There are also two extremely powerful early-stage Golden Core cultivators. The strength of those two early-stage Golden Core cultivators even surpasses that of the early-stage Golden Core cultivators trained by the Ancient Desolate Sect.

In short, the Azure Flame Lion praised Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu's strength highly.

Of course, he did this not out of genuine praise for Lu Cheng'an and the other person, but to avoid being scolded.

His first attack on the human cultivators of the Burning Flame Mountains was unsuccessful. He not only failed to kill the human Golden Core cultivators, but also lost the powerful early-stage third-order demon beast, the Purple Flame Firebird.

The Purple Flame Fire Sparrow has a high level of talent. It has undergone two bloodline awakenings, and its probability of becoming a fourth-tier demon king in the future is even higher than that of the Azure Flame Fire Lion, a descendant of a fourth-tier demon king.

Fortunately, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow did not have a fourth-tier demon king as its backer in the Hong'e Mountains. Otherwise, even though the Azure Flame Fire Lion was the offspring of the Azure Lion Demon King, it would still have faced the purge of the fourth-tier demon king after being suppressed by Lu Cheng'an.

After the Azure Flame Lion relayed the situation of the Burning Flame Mountain Range back to the Hong'e Mountain Range, it enraged the Azure Lion and other fourth-tier demon kings.

The Azure Lion Demon King severely reprimanded the Azure Flame Fire Lion, blaming it for its poor performance and loss of face.

Long before the Azure Flame Lion entered the Burning Flame Mountain Range, many third-tier demonic beasts had already entered the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect's human cultivation forces.

Although those third-tier demonic beasts did not cause much damage to the human cultivation forces, there were no losses among the third-tier demonic beasts.

The Azure Flame Lion had just arrived at the Burning Flame Mountain Range when its accompanying third-tier demon beast, the Purple Flame Fire Sparrow, was suppressed by human cultivators. This naturally made the Azure Lion Demon King feel ashamed.

After giving the Azure Flame Lion a severe scolding, the Azure Lion Demon King did not immediately make a decision on whether or not to send more third-tier cultivators into the Burning Flame Mountain Range. This was not something he could decide on his own.

There are currently five fourth-tier demon kings in the Hong'e Mountains, with the leading Azure Lion Demon King having a cultivation level in the late fourth tier.

The other four fourth-tier demon kings are the Black Python Demon King, the Howling Moon Wolf King, the Blazing Fire Ape King, and the Azure Crystal Spider King.

The Black Python Demon King's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the fourth rank. He is the strongest fourth-rank demon beast besides the Azure Lion Demon King.

The Black Python Demon King possesses the bloodline of a dragon, and he is currently searching with all his might for the treasure that awakens his bloodline.

Once his bloodline awakens again, he will be able to break through to the fourth rank by relying on the power of the awakened bloodline. At that time, he will no longer be the Black Python Demon King, but the Black Flood Dragon Demon King.

Dragons and similar demonic beasts are the royalty among demonic beasts. Their bloodline power is formidable, and their combat strength far surpasses that of cultivators of the same realm.

Although both the Azure Lion Demon King and the Black Python Demon King are demon kings of the Hong'e Mountains and have joined forces to deal with the ancient human cultivation force, the Desolate Ancient Sect, their relationship is not harmonious.

The Azure Lion Demon King did not want the Black Python Demon King to break through his cultivation smoothly, because once the Black Python Demon King's cultivation broke through, it would affect his dominant position in the Hong'e Mountains.

The three fourth-tier demonic beasts, the Howling Moon Wolf King, the Blazing Fire Ape King, and the Azure Crystal Spider King, are all at the early stage of the fourth tier. In particular, the Blazing Fire Ape King and the Azure Crystal Spider King are fourth-tier demonic beasts, and their cultivation has only recently broken through to the fourth tier.

The Azure Flame Lion is the offspring of the Azure Lion Demon King. This time, the Azure Flame Lion failed in its mission and embarrassed the Azure Lion Demon King.

The Black Python Demon King is very likely to use this incident to target the Green Lion Demon King, which is why the Green Lion Demon King is so angry.
