Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

With a roar, the Bitter Water True Man unleashed his natal magic weapon, the Bitter Water Divine Banner.

The Bitter Water Divine Banner is a long banner that is entirely dark blue. After the Bitter Water Immortal activated the Bitter Water Divine Banner, a whirlwind carrying dark blue light spots surged out from it.

At the same time, Master Kushui activated his minor supernatural power, Kushui Heavenly Mist, to attack Lu Cheng'an.

Once the Bitter Water Mist was unleashed, a thick, deep blue mist instantly filled the world.

The fog combined with the swirling winds within the Bitter Water Banner, instantly doubling the area covered by the deep blue fog.

The attack of the Bitter Water Heavenly Mist Divine Power was not obvious, and the power of the Bitter Water Divine Banner was also not obvious.

However, if one remains in the deep blue mist condensed by the Bitter Water Heavenly Mist Divine Power and the Bitter Water Divine Banner for a long time, these powers will erode one's soul, eventually plunging one into endless suffering, and one may very well choose to end one's own life.

As Lu Cheng'an sensed the dense, deep blue mist surrounding him, which was constantly conveying strong negative emotions to him, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he summoned the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan and gently fanned the dense fog around him. In an instant, endless flames spread out, transforming into a raging sea of ​​fire that entered the surrounding deep blue fog.

When the blue mist and the power of the sea of ​​fire met, a series of crackling and popping sounds rang out, like firecrackers being lit one after another.

Lu Cheng'an was enveloped in blue mist, and then he felt boundless pain sweeping over him.

This pain did not come from the physical body, but from his spirit, stirring up all sorts of painful memories that wanted to drag him into an endless sea of ​​suffering.

This is the terrifying power of the Bitter Water Heavenly Mist and the Bitter Water Divine Banner!
However, after having this feeling, Lu Cheng'an immediately pushed his divine sense to its limit, relying on his powerful divine sense to suppress the negative emotions that arose in his heart.

This is the benefit of a cultivator's powerful soul; it can block the invasion of many negative emotions.

After seeing that Lu Cheng'an was not greatly affected by the Bitter Water Heavenly Mist Divine Power, a cold look appeared on Master Kushui's face. Then, he pointed a finger, and a finger imprint flashing with seven-colored spiritual light appeared, quickly pointing towards Lu Cheng'an's head.

This seven-colored finger mark is another divine power practiced by True Person Bitter Water, the Emotion-Shaking Finger. In addition to being able to stir up a cultivator's negative emotions, this divine power also contains extremely terrifying power.

After being affected by the Heart-Shaking Finger, Lu Cheng'an's previously suppressed negative emotions showed signs of erupting again.

Lu Cheng'an did not simply defend. When Master Kushui used the Heart-Shaking Finger, he used the Great Sun Golden Flame, a secret technique of the soul, to attack Master Kushui's soul.

At the same time, he unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Palm to attack Master Kushui.

The main power of the "Emotional Shaking Finger" minor supernatural ability lies in shaking the cultivator's emotions, but the power contained within it is not particularly strong.

Lu Cheng'an easily destroyed the seven-colored finger seal with the palm print condensed by the Ten Thousand Flames Burning Fiend Palm. However, at the moment the finger seal shattered, its influence on Lu Cheng'an's emotions reached its peak.

For a moment, Lu Cheng'an seemed to be engulfed in boundless pain, completely forgetting his current predicament.

Master Kushui naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. The moment Lu Cheng'an's emotions were affected by the Heart-Shaking Finger, he summoned a pair of dark gold scissors and slashed at Lu Cheng'an's head.

This golden pair of scissors is the most powerful weapon in the hands of Master Kushui. In terms of attack power alone, the golden scissors are even stronger than his natal magic weapon, the Kushui Divine Banner.

This has always been Master Kushui's battle plan: first use the two minor supernatural powers, Kushui Heavenly Mist and Shaking Emotion Finger, then rely on the power of his natal magic weapon, the Kushui God Banner, to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible, and then use the Golden Scissors to finish them off.

Lu Cheng'an was only affected by negative emotions for a moment, and he quickly recovered.

He quickly mobilized the power of his natal true fire, the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire, and struck at the golden scissors.

The Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire quickly penetrated into the golden scissors, and in an instant, the various runes imprinted inside the golden scissors were burned away by the power of the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire.

This is because when Lu Cheng'an activated the power of the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire, he also used the minor supernatural power of True Fire Spirit Suppression Technique.

The True Fire Spirit Suppression Technique is a minor supernatural power specifically designed to destroy magical artifacts and treasures.

Although the golden scissors unleashed by Master Kushui were extremely powerful, their defensive capabilities were a weakness, which is why they were quickly penetrated by the power of the Pure Glaze Heavenly Fire and the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique.

In the blink of an eye, most of the runes inside the golden scissors were destroyed, which also caused the golden scissors to lose less than one-tenth of their power.

At that moment, the golden scissors appeared at Lu Cheng'an's neck and slashed down.

However, the golden scissors, whose power had been greatly weakened, still failed to break through Lu Cheng'an's defense!

After activating the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire and casting the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique, Lu Cheng'an immediately used the minor supernatural power, Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body.

The Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor instantly materialized around Lu Cheng'an. The golden scissors cut into the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor but failed to break through the defense.

After blocking the fatal blow from Master Kushui, Lu Cheng'an's spiritual attack using the Great Sun Golden Flame against Master Kushui also failed to harm him.

This is not because Master Kushui's spiritual power is strong enough, or because he has practiced spiritual defensive techniques, but because he has a spiritual artifact called Yuanhun Armor.

The Yuanhun Armor is a top-grade third-tier artifact. This soul-type defensive magic weapon was specially borrowed from the sect by True Person Kushui after he learned that Lu Cheng'an had practiced soul-type attack techniques.

This level of soul-defense magic weapon is an extremely precious treasure even within the Sacred Heart Sect, and it is not easily given to cultivators in the sect.

“This fellow Daoist is quite capable. Our Sacred Heart Sect is eager to recruit talented cultivators. Why don’t you join our Sacred Heart Sect?” True Person Bitter Water said loudly.

The strength displayed by Lu Cheng'an greatly shocked Master Kushui. Even the genius Golden Core cultivators cultivated by their Sacred Heart Sect might not have such formidable strength as Lu Cheng'an.

In particular, the powerful spiritual force displayed by Lu Cheng'an proves that Lu Cheng'an's soul is extremely strong.

The stronger a Golden Core cultivator's soul is, the higher their chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

If such a genius cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage were to enter the Sacred Heart Sect, it might not be long before the Sacred Heart Sect could have another Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

The reason why Master Kushui thought Lu Cheng'an was a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage was because Lu Cheng'an used the Minor Transformation Technique to change his cultivation aura.

The Lesser Transformation Technique is also a minor supernatural ability. Although Master Kushui is strong, he is not yet able to see through the Lesser Transformation Technique that Lu Cheng'an is using.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but the Sacred Heart Sect is not suitable for me. We shall part ways here, and I hope we will never meet again!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly, then used the Star Flame Concealment Technique to speed towards the direction of the Lu family.

By this time, those evil cultivators and demonic beasts had already broken through the protective formation of the Golden Origin Sect.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kong Liyun left the Golden Origin Sect after its protective formation was broken, speeding towards the Lu family's location. This was something he had agreed upon with Lu Cheng'an beforehand.

After the Golden Origin Sect's protective formation was broken, they scattered and fled.

The evil cultivators and demonic beasts ignored Lu Cheng'an and instead chased after Kong Liyun, leaving the Jinyuan Sect.

Kong Liyun's speed was already faster than those evil cultivators and demonic beasts, and he also had a top-grade third-tier flying magic weapon, the Thundercloud Shuttle.

This is a precious magic weapon that has been passed down for many years by the Golden Origin Sect. If this magic weapon is activated to its fullest potential, its speed will be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages of cultivation.

Kong Liyun did not initially unleash the full power of the Thundercloud Shuttle, but instead gave the evil cultivators and demonic beasts chasing him a glimmer of hope that they could catch up.

Only after he had lured those heretical cultivators and demonic beasts far away from the Golden Origin Sect did he unleash the full power of the Thundercloud Shuttle, quickly shaking off the pursuing heretical cultivators and demonic beasts.

Lu Cheng'an chose to leave at this time because he had already tested his strength.

Moreover, now that Kong Liyun has successfully escaped, there is no need for him to continue entangled with Master Kushui.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

A chilling light appeared on Master Kushui's face as he flipped his hand and summoned a jet-black rope from his storage ring.

This rope is also a top-grade third-tier magic weapon, and it has been enhanced by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sacred Heart Sect, making its power far exceed that of a top-grade third-tier magic weapon.

This rope is called the Mysterious Yin Binding Spirit Rope, and its main purpose is to trap enemies.

Once the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope binds a cultivator, it will seal off all the cultivator's magical power, and even prevent them from using their divine sense.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know the function of the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope, but he dared not underestimate it.

Therefore, upon seeing Master Kushui activate the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope, he immediately released his natal true fire, the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire.

The Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire burned fiercely, quickly engulfing Lu Cheng'an's body.

At the same time, Lu Cheng'an used the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique to attack the Profound Yin Spirit-Binding Rope.

No matter how powerful the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope is, its grade is only the third-grade top quality!

Lu Cheng'an is a top-tier third-order weapon refiner; he can quickly find the weaknesses of a third-order magic weapon.

Both the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique and the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire can greatly damage the runes inside the magic weapon. He is confident that he can destroy the runes inside the Profound Yin Spirit-Binding Rope in a short time, or even destroy the magic weapon directly!

"This power..."

Lu Cheng'an's expression changed slightly. After the True Fire Purification Technique and the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire enveloped the Profound Spirit Binding Technique, he felt that the magic weapon was covered by an extremely powerful force.

This power doesn't come from a Golden Core cultivator at all, but from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique and the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire can indeed destroy magical artifacts, but these two powers must also infiltrate the artifacts themselves.

Now that the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope is protected by such a layer of power, his True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique and Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire will have little effect.

Lu Cheng'an reacted quickly, summoning a top-grade third-tier defensive magic weapon—a shield.

This shield is purely a defensive magical artifact. He doesn't expect it to block the power of the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope; he only needs it to block the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope for a short while.

After Lu Cheng'an summoned the defensive shield, he immediately used the Great Sun Golden Flame, a secret technique of the divine soul, to attack the divine soul of True Man Ku Shui.

He had sensed the power of the Yuanhun Armor before.

This soul-defense artifact is indeed very powerful, but it also has the weakness of all soul-defense artifacts: it is relatively fragile.

Just like the Yinming Shattering Soul Needle set of divine soul attack magic weapon crafted by Lu Cheng'an, although its attack power is extremely strong, it will collapse on its own after being used once if it is pushed to the limit.

Although the Yuanhun Armor is a defensive type of divine soul artifact, much stronger than the Yinming Shattering Soul Needle, it cannot withstand continuous divine soul attacks, otherwise it may also shatter.

Lu Cheng'an's spiritual power is extremely strong, and he can continuously unleash the Great Sun Golden Flame, a secret technique for attacking the soul.

Golden flames continuously surged in Master Kushui's sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into surging waves of fire that relentlessly assaulted his soul.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness of the Bitter Water Immortal, his soul was covered by a layer of cyan-gold armor.

This layer of cyan-gold armor is the Yuanhun Armor, a top-grade third-tier divine soul defense magic weapon!
The impact of the Great Sun Golden Flame was blocked by the Yuan Soul Armor, and for a time it did not cause any damage to the soul of True Person Kushui.

However, under the constant impact of the Great Sun Golden Flame, the Yuan Soul Armor became thinner and thinner, and eventually many fine cracks appeared.

This change chilled Master Kushui to the bone; he had already witnessed the terrifying power of the Great Sun Golden Flame.

Previously, he was able to withstand the attack because of the Yuanhun Armor, a top-grade third-tier soul defense artifact. However, if this artifact is damaged, and he faces the attack of the Great Sun Golden Flame directly, his soul will likely suffer severe damage very soon.

At this moment, the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope had already bound Lu Cheng'an's body, and began to slowly seal the magical power in Lu Cheng'an's body.

This situation made Master Kushui hesitate. The Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope first seals the cultivator's magic power, and only then seals the cultivator's soul.

The Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope has only just been bound to Lu Cheng'an's body. Lu Cheng'an's magical power is extremely strong, and it will take some time for the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope to completely seal the magical power in Lu Cheng'an's body.

However, the Yuanhun Armor might not be able to withstand that long!
At this moment, Lu Cheng'an's body was tightly bound by the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope. While he continued to attack the soul of True Man Ku Shui with the Great Sun Golden Flame, he also continued to use the True Flame Spirit-Binding Technique to destroy the Xuan Yin Binding Spirit Rope.

The power left behind by the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Sacred Heart Sect on the Profound Yin Binding Spirit Rope is indeed extremely strong, but after being worn down by Lu Cheng'an's True Flame Spirit-Binding Technique for so long, it has already shown signs of collapse.

Once the power left by the Nascent Soul cultivator on the Profound Yin Binding Spirit Rope disappears, Lu Cheng'an is confident that he can destroy this magic artifact by relying on the True Flame Spirit-Binding Technique.

Lu Cheng'an showed no signs of worry, indicating that he still had a strong trump card up his sleeve.

If he were ultimately bound by the Profound Yin Binding Spirit Rope, he would activate the power of the Yinming Soul-Shattering Needles. (End of Chapter)
