Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After Lu Cheng'an informed the cultivators in his clan about the impending arrival of the demonic beast, the cultivators in the Lu family's mountain gate immediately began to discuss it intensely.

They felt extremely uneasy, unsure whether their clan's Nascent Soul ancestor could withstand the attacks of those demonic beasts.

After all, the demonic beast that attacked their Lu family this time was a mid-stage fourth-order beast, while their clan's Nascent Soul ancestor only had the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage.

However, their Nascent Soul Ancestor has a glorious record of killing early Nascent Soul cultivators. Now, although the demon king dispatched by the Hong'e Mountains has the cultivation of the mid-fourth rank, their Nascent Soul Ancestor should be able to hold him off even if he is no match for him!

The demonic beasts, including the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King, did not give the Lu family cultivators much time to be anxious. Just as Lu Cheng'an had predicted, about half a quarter of an hour later, a large number of demonic beasts appeared less than fifty miles from the Lu family's mountain gate.

Thick demonic clouds gathered above the army of demonic beasts, and beneath these clouds were two extremely powerful auras. These auras were released by the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King, two fourth-tier demonic beasts.

"Listen, Lu Cheng'an, if you are willing to lead the entire Lu family to join the Sacred Heart Sect, you can save the Lu family from this crisis of extermination!"

The demonic beast army stopped about thirty miles from the Lu family's mountain gate. At this moment, the heavy demonic aura surrounding the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King dissipated, and their figures came into view of the Lu family cultivators.

Both the Ghostwood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King, two fourth-tier demonic beasts, appear in human form.

The Ghostwood Demon King was dressed in a grayish-blue robe, was over ten feet tall, and had an extremely robust physique, making him look like a giant.

The Snow Crane Demon King was dressed in white and wore a white crane feather crown, looking like a handsome young gentleman.

The Ghostwood Demon King conveyed the message from the Sacred Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Transformation Demon King, who intended to subdue Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an was quite surprised; he hadn't expected these demonic beasts to have such a purpose.

"If you want me to join the Sacred Heart Sect, then let me see your strength first!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly, and then he and Shi Ningyu sped out of the mountain gate together.

"You're courting death! Since you insist on seeking it, then so be it!" Ghostwood Demon King roared angrily, and at that moment, his demonic energy surged, revealing his true form.

Once a demon beast reaches the third level of cultivation, it can transform into human form, but its strength is at its most formidable in its original form.

Although the Ghostwood Demon King had a mid-stage fourth-order cultivation level, which was a level higher than Lu Cheng'an, he still used his full strength when he attacked.

The Ghostwood Demon King's true form is a Xuan Yin Ghostwood. In its true form, the Ghostwood Demon King is a hundred feet tall, with a bluish-black canopy covering an area of ​​several miles in radius.

A heavy, yin aura surged from the dark blue-green tree canopy, as if it were instantly transforming into a ghostly place.

With a whoosh, as the huge, dark blue tree canopy shook, a series of ghostly wails and howls suddenly erupted.

This is a sonic attack demonic technique mastered by the Ghostwood Demon King, and it can cause certain damage to the mind and nascent soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Cheng'an's expression remained unchanged after hearing the howling sound; he immediately summoned the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell.

A deep, resonant bell rang out, its heavy sound instantly drowning out the wailing and howling.

The moment the Ghostwood Demon King made his move, he gave the order to attack. The demonic beasts below the fourth rank behind him surged like a tidal wave, roaring as they attacked the Lu family's mountain gate.

Among the densely packed demonic beasts were many third-tier demonic beasts, whose numbers far exceeded the Golden Core warriors in the Lu family's mountain gate.

The number of first and second-tier demonic beasts was several times, even more than ten times, that of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family.

If the Lu family cultivators were to leave the mountain gate and fight against these demonic beasts below the fourth rank, the Lu family cultivators would definitely not be a match for these demonic beasts.

However, the Lu family had already made arrangements. All the cultivators in the Lu family's mountain gate were mobilized by Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun, two top-grade third-tier spirit array masters, to jointly activate the power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array.

Inside the Lu family's mountain gate, after seeing the dense attacks unleashed by the demonic beasts below the fourth rank, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun immediately directed the cultivators within the Lu family's mountain gate to activate the power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array.

A pale golden light curtain surged out from the Lu family's mountain gate. This light curtain flowed slowly, like a flowing, brilliant galaxy.

The attacks from those demonic beasts below the fourth rank only caused the brilliant, star-like light screen to tremble slightly upon impact, without causing significant damage.

At this moment, Lu Jingkun threw out the three array flags in his hand. As the hand seals changed, the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array instantly condensed into golden arrows.

A dense barrage of arrows, like a shower of stars, shot out from the flowing galaxy of light, relentlessly bombarding the demonic beasts below the fourth rank.

Although the number of these arrows was extremely dense, the power of each arrow was extremely strong, with even the weakest one comparable to the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage.

The most powerful arrows are comparable to a full-force strike from a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

After this volley of arrows was launched, the attacking horde of demonic beasts immediately let out a series of shrill roars. In an instant, countless demonic beasts below the fourth rank died under the attack of this volley of arrows.

However, there were too many demonic beasts coming out of the Hong'e Mountains this time. After the group of demonic beasts in front died, the demonic beasts behind, under the command of the two fourth-level demon kings, Gui Mu and Xue He, still attacked the Lu family's mountain gate fearlessly.

Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping once again mobilized the power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array, launching a new round of arrow rain attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the pile of monster corpses outside the Lu family's mountain gate was half a zhang high!

A hundred miles southeast of the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu lured the Ghost Wood Demon King and the Snow Crane Demon King to this place.

Because the power released when these beings clash is too terrifying, if their battle with the two demon kings, Ghostwood and Ghostwood, were near the Lu family's mountain gate, they might be able to break through the Lu family's protective formation.

The reason why the two fourth-tier demon beasts, Ghostwood Demon King and Ghostwood Demon King, were willing to leave with Lu Cheng'an and his companion was that the aftershocks of their battle would almost certainly kill most of the demon beasts below the fourth tier that they had brought.

Just a hundred miles away from the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an and his companion, along with the two fourth-tier demonic beasts, Ghost Wood Demon King, Lu Cheng'an immediately communicated with Shi Ningyu. Then, the two of them simultaneously used the Purifying Ancient Seal to attack the Snow Crane Demon King, who was at the early stage of the fourth tier.

In this short time, they gained a certain understanding of the Snow Crane Demon King's strength.

The Snow Crane Demon King broke through to the fourth rank in a relatively short time, and his strength was quite ordinary. His greatest strength was his speed.

The Tranquil Ancient Seal was a perfect counter to the Snow Crane Demon King. Under the Tranquil Ancient Seal, the Snow Crane Demon King's flying body suddenly stopped. At this moment, Shi Ningyu made her move again, summoning her natal magic treasure, the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, and bombarding the Snow Crane Demon King's huge demon body.

At the same time, she unleashed the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm technique, striking down upon the Snow Crane Demon King's demonic body.

Shi Ningyu has already mastered the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm, and the power of this divine ability is still extremely terrifying.

The Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda is also a high-grade fourth-rank artifact. The power released by Shi Ningyu when she activated the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda is even stronger than the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm.

Although the Snow Crane Demon King could not move due to the Jinggu Seal, he could still sense the terrifying power contained in the Divine Jade Linglong Pagoda and the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm.

"Xuehe, are you stupid? Get out of the way!"

Ghostwood Demon King roared angrily. He didn't understand what had happened. Snow Crane Demon King was facing such a powerful attack, yet he didn't know how to dodge or retaliate.

He was well aware of the Snow Crane Demon King's strength; the Snow Crane Demon King would absolutely not be able to withstand this level of attack, and even if it didn't die, it would pay the price of serious injury.

Although the Ghostwood Demon King cursed angrily, he could not stand by and watch the Snow Crane Demon King be severely injured.

Now he has a certain understanding of the strength of Lu Cheng'an and the other person. If the Snow Crane Demon King is really killed by Lu Cheng'an and the other person, he will not be able to do anything to Lu Cheng'an and the other person on his own.

Lu Cheng'an naturally wouldn't allow the Ghostwood Demon King to interfere with Shi Ningyu's attack on the Snow Crane Demon King. The moment the Ghostwood Demon King made his move, Lu Cheng'an unleashed the Seven Bird Divine Fire.

A surge of flames erupted from the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, instantly transforming into a boundless sea of ​​fire. Like a surging crimson tide, the sea of ​​fire roared and swept towards the Ghost Wood Demon King's enormous demonic body.

At the same time, Lu Cheng'an unleashed the perfected Guiyuan Fire Fiend Seal, a divine power that bombarded the demonic body of the Ghost Wood Demon King.

The flames released by the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan are extremely terrifying, and they are also very effective against the Ghost Wood Demon King.

The power of the Guiyuan Fire Fiend Seal is even more terrifying, because Lu Cheng'an has cultivated this divine ability to perfection.

It is very difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to cultivate their supernatural abilities to perfection, but once they do, the power of those abilities will double.

Originally intending to rescue the Snow Crane Demon King, the Ghost Wood Demon King immediately abandoned his plan to save the Snow Crane Demon King upon sensing the terrifying power contained within the raging sea of ​​fire and the crimson magic seal, and focused on resisting Lu Cheng'an's attack.

A few breaths later, accompanied by several violent roars, the Snow Crane Demon King's huge body was sent flying high into the air. The snow-white crane feathers covering his body fluttered up like snowflakes, and then these snow-white feathers were stained bright red with blood.

Affected by the Jinggu Seal, the Snow Crane Demon King was unable to resist the combined attack of the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda and the Jade Rainbow Divine Transformation Palm with his physical body.

The Snow Crane Demon King's physical strength was not particularly formidable. After enduring Shi Ningyu's two attacks, he was instantly severely injured and lost the ability to fight.

At this moment, a jade chain shot out from Shi Ningyu's sleeve, instantly binding the Snow Crane Demon King's body tightly.

This jade chain is a low-grade fourth-order magic artifact, inherited from the Divine Jade Sect. Its main function is to bind enemies.

The jade chain is relatively common among fourth-tier low-grade magic artifacts, but it was just right for binding the Snow Crane Demon King who had suffered severe injuries.

After barely managing to block Lu Cheng'an's two attacks, the Ghostwood Demon King witnessed the Snow Crane Demon King being captured alive by Shi Ningyu.

This terrified him; he hadn't expected that Lu Cheng'an and his two newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators would be so powerful.

The Ghostwood Demon King had already begun to consider retreating, and the moment this thought appeared in his mind, it turned into concrete action.

However, his massive body had only retreated less than a hundred feet when he suddenly lost control of it.

He then felt four extremely terrifying attacks hurtling toward his body. Only then did he understand why the Snow Crane Demon King had remained motionless in the face of Shi Ningyu's attacks.

Lu Cheng'an and his other human cultivator had somehow mastered some strange attack method that allowed them to control their bodies.

The Ghostwood Demon King still doesn't know the specific reason, because the Quiet Ancient Seal involves the mysterious power of time.

He had no understanding of the power of time, which is why he couldn't perceive the real reason.

With a deafening roar, the four powerful attacks unleashed by Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu all landed on the Ghostwood Demon King's massive body. Even though the Ghostwood Demon King was a mid-stage fourth-tier demon beast, it was still severely injured by these four attacks.

The effect of the Tranquil Ancient Seal is extremely short-lived. After suffering severe injuries, the Ghostwood Demon King regained control of his body.

At this point, he had even less desire to continue fighting with Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu. Just as he was preparing to flee, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu launched another attack.

Not long after, the Ghostwood Demon King was also captured by Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu.

"Brother An, aren't these two fourth-tier demonic beasts a bit too weak? We captured them just like that?" Shi Ningyu looked at the two fourth-tier demonic beasts that had transformed back into human form and been captured by them, still somewhat incredulous.

After all, they had been worried that these monsters would breach the mountain gate, but now they had captured them so easily.

"It's not that their strength is too weak, but that the power of the Tranquil Ancient Seal is too strong!"

Lu Cheng'an spoke in a deep voice, "Ningyu, you protect me. I need to leave the Yuan Yi Demon Control Soul Secret Spell in the Ghost Wood's demonic infant!"

Lu Cheng'an's original plan was to leave the Yuan Yi Demon Control Soul Secret Spell in the Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant, since the Ghost Wood Demon King's cultivation was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, and he felt that he could not control the Ghost Wood Demon King at the mid-stage of the fourth rank with his own Yuan Ying power.

However, after examining the Ghostwood Demon King's demon infant, he realized that the demon infant was much weaker than he had expected.

There is still a considerable chance that he left the Yuan Yi Demon Soul Control Spell in the demon infant of the Ghost Wood Demon King.

The Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant was even weaker. With Shi Ningyu's Nascent Soul power, she could control the Snow Crane Demon King's demon infant using the Yuan Yi Demon Control Soul Secret Spell.

The reason for this is that Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu used the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique to temper their souls when they were at the Golden Core stage. This allowed their Nascent Soul power to far surpass that of cultivators at the same level after they broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. (End of Chapter)
