The road is vague

Chapter 329 Thunder Element Venerable

The DaBaoDao cult and the Black Hand slave-hunting group suffered a crushing defeat.

Originally, according to their plan, this joint attack was intended to severely injure Golden Turtle Master, even if they couldn't kill him, and then divide and devour Rainbow Shell Island, gradually destroying it in multiple stages, similar to how they dealt with Little Treasure Island.

However, this time they miscalculated.

On the turbulent sea, the three giant serpents were severely injured and dejected. Standing on the serpents, Venerable Lei Yuan looked at the male and female demons on the slave ship with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, the two sides were more than a hundred feet apart, and the atmosphere was truly oppressive.

When Venerable Lei Yuan's gaze shifted from the two black cat spirits to the numerous slaves captured on the deck of the slave-catching ship, he couldn't help but feel angry and began to mock them.

"I traveled a great distance from Xuanwu Island to invite you two here, not so that you could come here to watch from the sidelines and put on a show!"

Upon hearing this, the male and female demons exchanged a brief glance.

They had originally planned to establish a long-term partnership with this evil god.

However, their mission has not gone well so far. This remote sea area has hidden such a powerful rogue cultivator, which is quite troublesome compared to other slave-hunting sea areas. They do not plan to come back for the time being.

After all, the price of human slaves is really not high these days.

The slave-hunting areas they controlled included at least a dozen peripheral sea areas where savages lived.

In the marginal seas where most savages thrive, the birth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is already the limit. This is also the target of many small slave-hunting groups established by newly evolved demon beasts.

of course.

The vast Senjin Islands encompass an immense expanse of sea.

The outer seas inhabited by savages are countless, which is why hundreds of slave-hunting groups of all sizes can survive. There are even rumors that in some seas, there are wild cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, which are extremely dangerous to the slave-hunting groups.

Thinking of this, the male and female demons couldn't help but sneer.

"There is actually a rogue cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm here. This person not only possesses the astonishing power of the Heavenly Gang Water Thunder, but also has the power of a great formation to assist him. You have never mentioned the difference between a rogue cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm and one in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm without us having to tell you. Therefore, my wife and I naturally do not need to fulfill the relevant contract. At worst, we will simply not come here again."

"We, your wife and I, have been capturing slaves in various outer seas for many years, and this is only the second time we've encountered a human cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. These human cultivators are able to comprehend divine abilities and techniques in such harsh conditions, which shows their immense potential. Furthermore, if it weren't for our presence outside just now, it's uncertain whether you could have escaped. Not only are you ungrateful, but now you're even blaming us for your failure. Humph!"

Lei Yuan was speechless for a moment.

He never expected that the seemingly weak Golden Turtle Master in his mind would be so patient and tolerant.

"you……"

Venerable Lei Yuan was truly furious.

However, at this moment, he was severely injured and in dire need of rest. On the other hand, the two slave owners were reasonable and justified, so he could not retaliate. In the end, he could only snort coldly, ride the severely injured Three Kings Serpent, and lead the remaining troops to swim towards the waters of Dabao Island to prepare for a long-term plan.

Upon seeing this, the male and female demons signaled their demon cat subordinates to set sail.

Although they failed to achieve their expected goal this time, they still gained a lot, especially the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the cabin, who could fetch a good price from that great evil god on Wushan Island.

Five days later.

Lei Yuan Venerable led his remaining troops back to the waters near Da Bao Island.

However, before he could return to the main altar, a guardian appeared in a panic. After receiving permission, he finally arrived in front of the Three Kings Serpent and looked up at the high and mighty Thunder Lord.

"Reporting to the Lord, due to the negligence of the guards, all the slaves imprisoned on Refining Soul Mountain have escaped. The Grand Envoy is currently dispatching the Temple soldiers to search the area with all their might, and we will be unable to welcome the Lord's victorious return on time."

"what!"

Lei Yuan Venerable was furious.

In this great battle, he suffered heavy losses. Not only was he severely injured, but most of the vengeful spirits in the Soul Refining Banner were also destroyed by the Golden Turtle Master, which greatly reduced the power of this magic weapon and made it urgently necessary to replenish a large number of vengeful spirits.

He originally planned to rest and recuperate for a while before heading to the Soul Refining Mountain Secret Chamber to start refining again, but unexpectedly, something went wrong at Soul Refining Mountain at this time.

Who is on duty at Soul Refining Mountain?

"Reporting to the Master, it is Protector Pingshan. He has been imprisoned by the Chief Envoy for dereliction of duty and is awaiting further instructions."

Lei Yuan Venerable angrily rebuked.

"Pass on my order: the crime is unforgivable, execute him immediately."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Venerable Lei Yuan had finished speaking and was preparing to continue to the main altar, this heretic immediately spoke up again.

"Reporting to the Master, according to the Chief Envoy's detailed investigation, there seem to be signs that someone is secretly cultivating Evil God Grass near Soul Refining Mountain. It seems that this matter is not just due to the dereliction of duty by Protector Pingshan..."

Before the protector could finish speaking, Venerable Lei Yuan changed direction and headed straight for Refining Soul Mountain.

Although he has now become an evil god through the Dark Thunder Book, he knows that in the vast Lost Sea, there are two other ways to become an evil god: consuming evil god grass and offering sacrifices to evil spirits.

Evil spirits were far beyond his reach; he had only heard of them in rumors.

However, the Evil God Grass is a more common way to advance than the Evil Spirit Contamination.

Those strange plants that grow naturally will surely be rewarded if you patiently offer blood sacrifices.

"If I could consume another Evil God Grass, I might advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm within sixty years. At that time, what would it matter if I were a Golden Tortoise Immortal!"

A few hours later.

The three giant serpents soared through the clouds, their enormous shadows descending from the sky and landing on Soul Refining Mountain.

However, before Venerable Lei Yuan could enter the secret cave, he saw streaks of spiritual light shooting into the sky from the ground. His previous experience of being trapped by the great formation on Rainbow Shell Island made Venerable Lei Yuan very sensitive to this. He was immediately startled and used a spell similar to the Dark Concealment Thunder Step to escape just as the Six Ding Six Jia Void Forbidden Formation closed.

However, his mount, the Three Kings Giant Serpent, was not so lucky, as it was shrouded in the Six Ding Six Jia Void Forbidden Array.

"Sigh." With a soft sigh, Li Mo appeared in the shadows, looked at the shocked Lei Yuan Venerable, and then glanced at the great formation.

"It seems that this matrix puppet is no longer able to play a decisive role in the Golden Core stage."

Say it.

Li Mo's eyes sparkled.

His left eye, in particular, gleamed with silver light, exuding a mysterious and oppressive aura as it looked at Venerable Lei Yuan, finally settling on a Dark Thunder Heavenly Book in his right hand.

"Is this the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book?"

As Li Mo's gaze fell upon the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, the evil spirit began to tremble incessantly.

Lei Yuan Venerable noticed the abnormality and was immediately taken aback.

While urgently protecting the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book with his blood-red light, he looked at Li Mo, who made his scalp tingle, and shouted a rebuke.

"Who are you!"

Li Mo ignored him.

As the spatial power of the Sky-Seizing Wings activated the Misty Box, he regained his lost memories and learned a truth: the indescribable thing sealed within the Misty Box was the source of the laws and order of all evil spirits in the world.

This was also the key to his use of the Eye of the Dao to restrain the ancient scripture stele.

The Dark Thunder Heavenly Book of today is essentially no different from the ancient scripture stele; both are manifestations of evil spirits in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

If these evil spirits are also considered as magical treasures, then they undoubtedly all possess the characteristics of returning to one's true nature. They are all extremely powerful and infinitely mysterious, but they cannot be controlled at will. They can only release their magical energy outwards and are carried on one's person like ordinary items, making them extremely easy to detect and guard against.

"Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, what a fine name."

Li Mo muttered to himself, and after confirming that this evil spirit possessed the ability to control the remnants of an ancient demon, his expression darkened, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

If we were to say what he most wanted to do after obtaining the Dark Thunder Tome, it would undoubtedly be to enslave that King of Assassins!

It was this other party who caused him to leave the Great Qian Dynasty and come to this unfamiliar and suffering land.

According to the secret records of the Lingmu Sect.

This King of Assassins is a descendant of the Chameleon Demon, or rather, the Colorless Demon. Over a thousand years ago, due to the war of the King of Beasts caused by the Tiger Clan in the Eastern Ridge Wasteland, the dragon fled to the Great Qian Kingdom with the Rainbow Bird. The Rainbow Bird became the sacred bird of the Spirit Eye Sect, while the Chameleon was received by the Qian Yuan Saint Lord and established the First Seven Organization, becoming the First Seven Elder.

However, Li Mo also knew that with his current early-stage Golden Core cultivation, let alone taking revenge, he probably wouldn't even be able to protect himself if he returned to the Great Qian Kingdom.

He then looked at the tense confrontation between Venerable Lei Yuan and the others.

"Hmph, it seems your trip to Rainbow Shell Island has been quite unsuccessful. How did you end up in such a sorry state? I didn't expect that Golden Turtle Master to be so good at hiding his true intentions."

Say it.

Before Lei Yuan Venerable could respond, Li Mo conjured a lightning spear in his hand and shot it toward Lei Yuan Venerable.

"Bah!"

Lei Yuan Venerable shouted.

His lower body, wreathed in black lightning, swung violently, and his figure vanished in a flash. He not only easily dodged the Zha Nian Thunder Spear, but also suddenly appeared behind Li Mo, and the Soul Refining Banner in his hand suddenly formed a terrifying vortex of ghostly spirits.

A terrifying, eerie wind, accompanied by the howls of countless vengeful ghosts, surged forth.

Those with weak wills would likely fall into terror and madness in an instant amidst this eerie wind and howling ghosts.

The surrounding world suddenly darkened, and the Soul Refining Banner enveloped Li Mo.

Li Mo chose to ambush here because he had already learned about Lei Yuan Venerable's magical treasures and techniques through the Lei Yuan Sect.

Faced with the Soul Refining Banner's power to devour ten thousand ghosts, Li Mo's eyes flashed with spiritual light, and he smiled slightly.

"Your Soul Refining Banner seems rather empty of vengeful spirits."

After making a sarcastic remark, Li Mo stretched out his right hand, and the different lightning spiritual powers of his five fingers converged, eventually forming a five-colored lightning beam that pointed directly at the Soul Refining Banner.

The two stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy, and the yin wind and thunder engaged in a stalemate.

Li Mo and Venerable Lei Yuan continuously increased their magical power.

As time passed, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a continuous stream of five-colored lightning struck, and the Soul Refining Banner gradually lost ground. After the lightning broke through the Yin Wind, the sea of ​​ghosts and spirits was as if struck by five thunderbolts. A large number of wronged souls and vengeful ghosts screamed in terror and their souls were scattered.

The yin wind generated by the Soul Refining Banner gradually became disordered.

As the five-colored lightning continued to rage, the Soul Refining Banner, which served as the vessel for the wronged souls, began to show wisps of burning black smoke on its white surface, and the magic weapon itself gradually showed irreversible damage.

This immediately caused Venerable Lei Yuan to show a look of horror.

His eyes were fixed on the five-colored lightning emitted by Li Mo.

"What kind of thunder magic is this?!"

He could immediately tell that the unknown supernatural power this person was using was far stronger than the Heavenly Gang Water Thunder of the Golden Turtle Master, and it could actually annihilate magical treasures and turn them into dust.

This person only has the cultivation level of the early stage of Golden Core.

the other side.

With his Golden Core cultivation, Li Mo unleashed the Five Thunders to Dust Divine Power, which was significantly more powerful than when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

While he was constantly destroying the Soul Refining Banner, he was also gaining relevant refining experience and insights into soul refining. For a moment, the cold smile on his lips deepened, and he was deeply intoxicated by it.
