Chapter 779 The Wrath of the Iron Plow (Bonus Chapter for 3K Chapters, Still Owed)
The purple sea of ​​fire crackled and popped as it burned the air. Then, the flames rapidly contracted, transforming into a graceful fire phoenix before exploding again, sending a shower of meteors and fire raining down from the sky.

Although the spell was at the Golden Core level, it was at the Great Perfection level, and the cultivator was at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. With the added benefit of the mid-grade Bing-Ding Fire Dao Seed and the resonance of the Lidi Flame Banner, even a True Demon at the late Golden Core stage could not withstand such an attack.

Unless one's cultivation has reached the Golden Core Perfection level and one possesses a top-grade level three defensive magic treasure, they will all be reduced to ashes under such a double attack.

Ji An called such attacks a "weakness assessment technique," saying that those with insufficient cultivation would die directly from the attack, while those who could withstand it were all strong and deserved to be taken seriously.

Therefore, after casting the spell, his eyes became like high-powered radar, searching for prey.

A true demon over two zhang tall came into view. Much of the fur on this enemy's body was burned off, and a pair of black wings emitted billowing black energy. It was clearly a true demon at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Judging from the emanating pressure, it should have reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

This enemy instantly caught Ji An's attention; he was a tempting prey.

Five Nascent Soul stage True Demons flew rapidly toward them, but Ji An only had eyes for enemies at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. He decided to test the quality of this True Demon first.

If it's a tough nut to crack, put it aside and deal with those early-stage Nascent Soul True Demons first.

Ji An made a hand seal to release the Five Elements Divine Mountain, and then his divine sense split into three parts: one to guard against the surroundings, the second to control the flight trajectory of the spiritual treasure, and the third to release the Taibai Extinction Sword.

His past battles gave him great confidence, and he was not afraid of true demons at the Nascent Soul level at all.

Now his attacks are even more powerful, and he even dares to challenge enemies in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain emitted a five-colored spiritual light, enveloping the target like a searchlight.

The True Demon, which was flying close to Ji An, immediately felt immense pressure descend upon it, as if it were trapped in an extremely viscous substance, and its speed was greatly reduced.

Moreover, the circulation of demonic energy within the body became noticeably sluggish.

The instant the anomaly occurred, he frantically activated the demonic energy within his body, radiating power outwards in an explosive manner.

At the same time, the defensive magic weapon transformed into a liquid that covered its entire body with a layer of white bone armor, as if it were coated with a layer of pure white ivory.

Having experienced the bloody battle in Qingqiu, he knew exactly how to fight.

He succeeded. After the full eruption of his mid-Nascent Soul level power, his body successfully broke free from the binding force provided by the fourth-grade low-level spiritual treasure for a fleeting moment.

For him, that was enough time to leave the confined area and attack again.

The true demon grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and a bloodthirsty ferocity in its eyes, holding a dark bone spear in its hand.

He had already discovered that the enemy who launched the sneak attack was a Nascent Soul Level 2 enemy. As long as he got within 500 feet of the enemy, the enemy would definitely not be able to dodge the piercing attack of his magic weapon.

He once used this magical artifact to severely injure a celestial fox at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage; the fox had no time to dodge.

His strength has been proven through bloody battles, and he believes this time will be no exception.

That would normally be true, but he was dealing with an abnormal individual.

The three-foot-long silver flying sword fell like lightning from the sky, piercing through the true demon's head. The enemy's white bone armor and hard skull could not withstand this deadly stream of light.

The truth is that the Taibai Extinction Sword pierced through the True Demon's defenses but only penetrated a few inches into its head. Such an injury would not be fatal to the True Demon.

However, the second attack of the Taibai Extinction Sword came into play, and the metal elemental spiritual energy of extinction erupted inside the enemy's skull.

Even the most powerful creatures have soft minds and little protection.

Immediately afterward, the True Demon's brains lost their life force as they shattered, and his eyeballs exploded into two bloody blobs from the rampant spiritual energy within his skull, causing blood to flow from his seven orifices.

'Much weaker than the one I encountered before.'

Ji An was secretly pleased. The true demon he had encountered before was able to withstand his attacks several times, but this true demon was far inferior.

He released a golden light that seemed to pierce the earth, skillfully removing the Void Stone from the true demon's wrist before it fell to the ground, and then storing the corpse in his own Void Stone.

At this moment, the true demons at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm had just arrived. Upon witnessing this horrific scene, they turned and fled backward.

With the deputy commander dead in such a short time, they were no match for him. The only way to ensure their safety was to escape to the vicinity of the commander.

Inside the mountain-protecting formation, the cultivators who witnessed the Nascent Soul level True Demon being killed roared excitedly.

"You want to run now? Is it too late?"

Ji An held the Five Elements Divine Mountain in his hand and released golden light to chase after it.

In his eyes, these enemies from foreign lands were all excellent fertilizers, the key to conserving Dao essence.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain crashed down with a deafening roar, capable of knocking the true demon from the sky to the ground, leaving behind a giant crater.

These true demons were utterly powerless against this powerful magical artifact and were reduced to meat patties in the pit.

Ji An activated the Tai Bai Extinction Sword; a flash of silver light would surely eliminate a true demon.

When the attack power is strong enough, all resistance and struggle seem pitiful.

From the Golden Spirit Sect's protective mountain array to the rear of the True Demon Army, the short thirty-mile journey became a bloody path for these early-stage Nascent Soul True Demons.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy shook the void. Iron Plow, who was at the rear, was the first to feel it, and Morag, who was with him, also felt the powerful magical force.

The two true demons quickly ascended into the air and saw Ji An calmly putting one of the falling true demons into the Void Stone.

At this moment, all six True Demons who had led the attack on the mountain-protecting formation were killed in battle. Tie Li discovered that he could not sense the auras of other Nascent Soul level members of his race, and an incredulous look appeared in his eyes. He then subconsciously began to search.

The fluctuations in spiritual energy emanating from the enemy clearly indicate their cultivation level. It's impossible for a human cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage to kill several members of their own race, so the one who made the move must be someone else.

However, upon seeing no other enemies, Tie Li was stunned.

Morag's eyes flashed with anger; this enemy was the one who had slaughtered too many of his Nascent Soul level subordinates.

"Commander, we must kill this cultivator to avenge everyone."

Ji An saw two enemies appear, and their powerful aura made him take notice.

One was an old acquaintance, although he was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his attacks were not enough to cause fatal injuries, and the Jin Xing's extinction aura seemed to have no effect on the enemy.

The aura of the other enemy was even more powerful; it was none other than a True Demon at the late Nascent Soul stage.

He revealed a mocking smile, and with a flick of his wrist, the golden light on the ground transformed into a five-colored radiance, flying towards the sect.

His attack power is much stronger than before, but it is still slightly insufficient against two powerful enemies. He wants to try to increase his combat power even further.

Iron Plow roared in fury, "You killed my men and you think you can get away!"

He activated his secret technique, chasing after his enemy like a red lightning bolt, but could only watch helplessly as the enemy receded into the distance, unable to catch up!

Ji An rode the golden light that pierced through the light barrier of the mountain-protecting formation, and the disciples erupted in deafening cheers once again.

Iron Plow flew in close behind, manipulating its magical weapon to launch a frenzied attack on the mountain-protecting formation.

The light barrier of the magic circle, which was originally as calm as a still lake, now seemed to be bombarded by dense artillery shells, rippling out in huge waves.

Clearly, he was in a bad mood.

Ji An turned his head and glanced at it, then shook his head slightly. The enemy was simply wasting their time.

The principle of the mountain-protecting formation is quite different from the spiritual energy defense shields of cultivators. The formation is backed by spiritual veins and can withstand attacks far exceeding its own level.

To breach a high-level mountain-protecting formation, a high-intensity attack requiring prolonged engagement at multiple points must be employed.

He ignored the noise behind him and asked:
How long have the enemy been attacking us?

Lin Jiuxiao bowed his head and answered respectfully:

"Reporting to the True Lord, it was the third day after you left the sect."

We used the sect's reserves of Thunder Pearls to injure and kill many Golden Core level True Demons, so the True Demon army's attacks became increasingly frenzied.

After the True Lord returned, he displayed great power and forcefully killed several Nascent Soul level True Demons, making the entire sect proud.

Ji An nodded slightly and said:
"I discovered that the demonic energy emanating from the Demon Cave in Yuanhe Mountain was several times less than before, indicating that the Tribulation of the True Demons is indeed coming to an end."

The enemy's attack seems powerful, and it will take a long time to break through the mountain-protecting formation.

As the demonic energy emanating from the demonic cave gradually decreases, the enemies will become weaker, and the passage connecting the two worlds will slowly close.

Time is on our side; as long as we defend well, there's nothing to worry about.

The enemy didn't have time to keep besieging the sect, so he was in a relaxed state of mind.

Zhang Zeye said in a deep voice:

"True Lord, the sect's spiritual veins are at a critical stage of upgrading their rank. Every attack from the True Demon impacts the spiritual veins, which will greatly prolong the time it takes for them to reach the fourth rank."

If possible, we should try our best to stop the enemy.

As the sect's spiritual veins are upgraded, the grade of the spiritual vein nodes in the cave will also increase, making everyone's cultivation more efficient.

Ji An nodded, "I rushed back from Yuanhe Mountain, and the battle just now consumed a lot of my magic power. I will rest for half a day to adjust my condition before fighting the true demons again."

Adhering to the principle of fighting if possible, and killing low-level true demons if not, he still had to go into battle.

The enemy is very strong, and he must go all out.

I don't expect to inflict a fatal wound on a late-stage Nascent Soul True Demon, but the True Demon I've fought repeatedly should be included in the hunt.

Ji An returned to Crimson Flame Peak, which was only about forty miles away from the west side of the mountain-protecting array.

He flew to a cave halfway up the mountain, entered the small world, and commanded:

"Ayun, light the incense and brew a pot of fourth-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud Tea."

When he was refining the Five Elements Divine Mountain, he did not use the blood sacrifice method. As a result, the spiritual power of the treasure was insufficient, and it required more magic power and divine sense to control it.

Ayun nodded gently, immediately lit the sandalwood soul-nourishing incense, and then began to prepare for brewing the spiritual tea.

Ji An placed the several Void Stones he had collected on the table. He had taken a total of fifteen Void Stones from the True Demon.

He lay comfortably on the rattan chair next to the Gathering Yuan Tree, his mind sinking into his dantian and connecting with the stone turtle.

"Refine the Dao essence to elevate the grade of the Gengxin Metal Dao Seed."
