Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

A cold look appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. After briefly sensing the condition of the early-stage fourth-order Black-Striped Sky Locust, he knew that the early-stage fourth-order Black-Striped Sky Locust was already useless.

Although it is not dead, it is completely unable to withstand the power of the fire evil and fire poison contained in the flames.

If this early-stage fourth-tier Black-striped Sky Locust cannot completely eliminate the fire evil and fire poison within its body, it will surely die in the end.

Lu Cheng'an ignored Tianhuang Zhenjun's clamor and quickly unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique to attack Tianhuang Zhenjun.

This divine power is an appendage of the Earth Flame True Scripture, and its power is far beyond that of ordinary divine powers.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an cultivated this divine ability to perfection, which elevated its power to an extremely terrifying level.

That's why he was able to use this divine power to directly cripple the early-stage fourth-tier Black-striped Sky Locust!

Tianhuang Zhenjun had no time to ponder why Lu Cheng'an was able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm at this moment. After sensing the fierce attack released by Lu Cheng'an, he immediately used the Shattering Void Finger, a minor divine ability, to meet the attack of the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm.

Unfortunately, the Shattering Void Finger is only a minor divine power, and a very ordinary one at that.

The power of the Shattering Void Finger released by True Lord Heavenly Locust was incomparable to the power of the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, and was destroyed by the power of the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm in an instant.

True Lord Tianhuang knew that the power of the Shattering Void Finger could not withstand the attack of Lu Cheng'an's Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, so he immediately summoned his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Blade Dust Whisk.

In recent years, in addition to recovering from the injuries to his nascent soul, True Lord Tianhuang has also been working hard to transform the Thousand Blade Dustbrush into his natal magic weapon.

After so many years of hard work, he finally succeeded.

The Heavenly Locust True Lord summoned the Thousand-Blade Whisk. With a flick of the dark green whisk, a dense array of green curved blades shot out, slicing towards Lu Cheng'an's body like a barrage of raindrops.

Lu Cheng'an immediately unleashed the divine power of Earthly Flame Myriad Forms Body.

This divine ability is also an accessory to the Earth Flame True Scripture, and he has now cultivated it to perfection.

This divine ability has the effect of tempering the physical body. Even if Lu Cheng'an did not cultivate the True Yang Body Refining Technique, a special body refining technique, he could still temper his physical body to an extremely powerful level by relying on the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body divine ability.

Of course, the body-tempering effect of this supernatural power is still somewhat different from that of the True Yang Body Refining Technique.

If the Earth Flame Myriad Forms Body and the True Yang Body Refining Technique are combined, Lu Cheng'an's physical body can be better tempered.

It was for this reason that he was able to temper his physical body to an extremely terrifying level at the Golden Core stage.

Of course, the Earth Flame Myriad Forms Body is not only effective in tempering the physical body; its main function is defense.

When Lu Cheng'an activates this divine power, he can condense the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor around his body. The defensive power of the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor is comparable to that of a top-tier fourth-grade low-level defensive magic weapon.

The stronger a cultivator's physical strength, the deeper their understanding of the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body technique, and the more powerful the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor they condense will be.

Although the power of the dense green curved blades released by the Thousand Blades Whisk was extremely strong, it did not cause any damage to the layer of crimson-gold armor covering Lu Cheng'an's body after striking it.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an's defenses did not stop there.

In addition to the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor condensed from the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Body, Lu Cheng'an also wore a fourth-grade low-level Myriad Silk Fire Flowing Soft Armor.

The Myriad Threads Fiery Soft Armor is a low-grade fourth-tier defensive magic weapon, inherited from the Burning Flame Sect.

The Burning Flame Sect possesses more than one fourth-tier magic weapon and treasure. Previously, Lu Cheng'an was unable to use these fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures due to his cultivation level limitations. However, now that his cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he is able to activate these fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures.

Lu Cheng'an felt that he had overestimated the strength of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch. The Heavenly Locust True Monarch couldn't even break through the power of the Earth Flame Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Yellow Armor, so he didn't need to activate the power of the Myriad Threads Fire Flowing Soft Armor at all.

"Fellow Daoist Lu... Senior Lu should have only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, how could he be so powerful!"

"That must be the early-stage fourth-order Black-striped Sky Locust raised by the Sky Locust True Monarch. It looks like it's about to die!"

…………

After Lu Cheng'an and Tianhuang Zhenjun exchanged blows for a while, Shi Ningyu led the Golden Core cultivators from the Lu family mountain sect to follow Lu Cheng'an away.

When they arrived at the place where Lu Cheng'an and Heavenly Locust True Monarch were fighting, they saw the early stage fourth-order Black-striped Heavenly Locust, who was half-dead from being beaten by Lu Cheng'an, and Heavenly Locust True Monarch, who was completely at a disadvantage.

"Fellow Daoists, quickly take action against these heretical cultivators! We cannot let any of them escape!"

After seeing Lu Cheng'an and Tianhuang Zhenjun fighting, Shi Ningyu felt slightly relieved and then ordered an attack on the evil cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

The moment her voice fell, she launched an attack on a heretical cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage.

After suppressing their excitement, Geng Qiuhuai and the other Golden Core cultivators immediately attacked the heretical Golden Core cultivators.

These heretical cultivators are not weak individually; in fact, they are stronger than Golden Core cultivators like Geng Qiuhuai.

However, their numbers were not the advantage; Geng Qiuhuai and others outnumbered them several times over.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides clashed, those evil cultivators, like True Lord Tianhuang, immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Lu Cheng'an, you really deserve to die!"

Lord Tianhuang roared angrily. His condition was extremely bad. He had been struck by Lu Cheng'an's Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Palm, and this palm strike had caused him extremely serious injuries.

The moment his roar fell, his body transformed into a gray streak of light, instantly piercing into the half-dead, early-stage fourth-tier Black-Patterned Sky Locust.

As a dark light surged from the massive body of the Black-Striped Locust, in an instant, the Heavenly Locust Monarch and the Black-Striped Locust completely merged into one, transforming into a monster with a human head and an insect body.

The moment their bodies merged, the injuries on both the Black-Striped Heavenly Locust and the Heavenly Locust True Monarch seemed to disappear simultaneously.

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, wondering what kind of evil magic the Heavenly Locust True Monarch had practiced.

An extremely ferocious aura surged from the fused monster's body, and at this moment, Heavenly Locust True Monarch's mind seemed to be greatly affected.

He let out a strange roar, then sprang up from the deep pit, dozens of feet wide, and lunged at Lu Cheng'an.

As the monster soared into the air, countless Black-Striped Sky Locusts below the fourth rank also rushed out of the deep pit.

They followed closely behind the monster with a human head and an insect body, howling as they swept towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

This change greatly surprised Shi Ningyu and other cultivators, and at the same time, they began to feel worried.

They sensed that the monster with the human head and insect body seemed to have fully recovered from its injuries, and its strength appeared to have greatly increased. Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, and once again unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique, striking the monster with the human head and insect body.

At the same time, endless pale blue flames surged around him.

These flames are his natal true fire, the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire!
Although the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire is relatively effective against cultivators' magical artifacts and treasures, this does not mean that the power of the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire only harms cultivators' magical artifacts and treasures.

This is an extremely terrifying flame, especially with Lu Cheng'an's control over the power of flames.

The pale blue flames that emerged from Lu Cheng'an's body instantly transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire, covering most of the sky.

Before the Black-Striped Sky Locusts below the fourth rank could even touch Lu Cheng'an's body, they were engulfed by the flames that filled the sky.

They had no power to resist and were burned to ashes in an instant.

At this moment, the fiery red palm print condensed by the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm also struck the monster with a human head and an insect body. The violent power burst out, causing the monster's body to tremble violently, but it did not seem to cause it much damage.

His speed did not decrease in the slightest, and he continued to charge towards Lu Cheng'an's body.

Lu Cheng'an's expression remained unchanged as he unleashed a series of Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Palm strikes at the human-headed, insect-bodied monster.

Lu Cheng'an has cultivated the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique to perfection. He can condense this technique in an instant, and it consumes very little mana.

After the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the Black-Striped Heavenly Locust merged, their defensive and offensive power was greatly enhanced. However, after Lu Cheng'an's continuous attacks with the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm, his body was still pierced by the continuous fiery red palm prints.

At this point, the fusion of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the Black-Striped Heavenly Locust was also forced to stop.

The moment the Heavenly Locust True Monarch and the early-stage fourth-tier Black-striped Heavenly Locust disintegrated, their injuries completely erupted.

The Black-Striped Sky Locust, at the early stage of the fourth tier, let out a miserable roar before its massive body turned to ashes in the raging flames.

The situation of True Lord Tianhuang is somewhat better, but he has also suffered extremely serious injuries.

"Lu Cheng'an, you can't kill me! I am a cultivator from the Sacred Heart Sect!"

Lord Tianhuang roared, his eyes filled with malice as he stared at Lu Cheng'an. He couldn't believe that Lu Cheng'an, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, possessed such formidable strength.

When Lu Cheng'an heard True Monarch Tianhuang threaten him by invoking the Sacred Heart Sect, a mocking smile immediately appeared on his lips. He knew that True Monarch Tianhuang was truly at his last gasp and had no ability to resist.

As for the threat from the Sacred Heart Sect mentioned by True Lord Tianhuang, he didn't take it to heart at all.

The Lu family and the Sacred Heart Sect are far apart, and it's unlikely that the Sacred Heart Sect would spare a Nascent Soul cultivator to specifically target him now.

He now has a clear understanding of his own strength; ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators are no match for him.

He may not be a match for a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator now, but it would be impossible for a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to kill him.

Only cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage can completely kill him, and in the three states of Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Taizhou, the number of cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage is extremely limited.

The only cultivator in the Desolate Ancient Sect right now is their sect leader, True Monarch Qiongmiao, who is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Then I'll wait for the Sacred Heart Sect to avenge you!"

Lu Cheng'an sneered. He raised his hand and once again unleashed the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm technique, striking at the body of True Lord Heavenly Locust.

At this moment, the injuries on Tianhuang Zhenjun's body were extremely serious, and he had no way of blocking the attack of the Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Palm.

Heavenly Locust True Monarch stared at Lu Cheng'an with a sinister look in his eyes, but he quickly reacted.

A dark gray light surged from between the eyebrows of True Monarch Heavenly Locust; this was True Monarch Heavenly Locust's nascent soul.

At this moment, his nascent soul was trapped in the Heavenly Infant Bowl. He was preparing to abandon his physical body so that his nascent soul could escape.

The speed of a Nascent Soul is far beyond that of a physical body; it can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

A cultivator's nascent soul is already extremely powerful, and it can survive even after it leaves the physical body.

Without a physical body as a vessel, a cultivator's nascent soul can still exist for a long time, but their cultivation level will never be able to improve further.

Moreover, the nascent soul is relatively fragile, and without the protection of a physical body, the possibility of it being shattered is greatly increased.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Nascent Soul cultivators will not abandon their physical bodies and rely solely on their Nascent Souls to escape.

Now, True Lord Tianhuang is forced into a corner. If he does not abandon his physical body, he has no chance of survival.

Almost the instant that the Heavenly Locust True Monarch's nascent soul separated from his physical body, that fiery red palm print struck his body.

At the last moment, Lu Cheng'an withdrew some of his power, only shattering the internal organs of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, without completely destroying his physical body.

Even so, this palm strike still ended the life of the Heavenly Locust True Monarch's physical body.

After Lu Cheng'an used the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Palm to end the life of True Lord Heavenly Locust, a gray-white chain roared out from between his eyebrows.

This grayish-white chain was formed from pure Nascent Soul power and is called the Infant Binding Chain.

This is a secret technique recorded in the Burning Flame Sect's lineage, specifically used to bind a cultivator's nascent soul.

This secret technique was not difficult to master, and Lu Cheng'an mastered it in a short time.

The Binding Spirit Chain was extremely fast. As soon as the Heavenly Locust True Monarch's nascent soul separated from his physical body, the Binding Spirit Chain wrapped around him and bound him together with the Heavenly Infant Bowl.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, spare my life! From now on, I..."

After sensing the power of the Binding Infant Chain, Heavenly Locust True Monarch felt boundless fear. He dared not threaten Lu Cheng'an anymore and instead began to beg for mercy.

However, Lu Cheng'an ignored Tianhuang Zhenjun's pleas for mercy. After binding Tianhuang Zhenjun's nascent soul with the Infant Binding Chain, he immediately sealed it in a jade gourd magic artifact.

After Lu Cheng'an dealt with the Heavenly Locust True Monarch, Shi Ningyu and other Golden Core cultivators also basically wiped out those evil cultivators at the Golden Core level.

"Brother An, are you alright?" Shi Ningyu flew to Lu Cheng'an's side and asked with great concern.

She couldn't see any injuries on Lu Cheng'an's body, but she still couldn't help but worry.

After all, True Monarch Heavenly Locust broke through to the Nascent Soul realm earlier, and he also had the assistance of that early-stage fourth-tier Black-Striped Heavenly Locust. (End of Chapter)
