Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 464 The Demon-Burning True Lord arrived at his loyal Mount Miaoyin today.
"Crack!"

The crisp sound of breaking came late.

Only then did everyone see that there was an almost completely transparent spiritual energy barrier in front of True Monarch Youzhong.

However, a gap the size of a palm was clearly visible in the middle of the barrier, causing the entire barrier to shatter into pieces.

No one could have imagined that something like this would happen.

True Lord Youzhong struck first, launching a surprise attack without warning using a sonic technique.

The next nearly one breath should have been his time to act as a hunter and attack freely.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was completely unaffected by the sound wave impact.

Not only was he not stunned, but he was even able to fight back immediately.

If that were all, True Lord Youzhong would have been prepared and could have blocked it with a spiritual barrier.

But he never expected that Xiao Chen, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was a junior who was a whole realm lower than him.

It was able to break through the spiritual energy barrier in an instant, leaving him no time to prepare a spiritual shield to defend himself.

Let alone a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to achieve this.

"Such powerful fire elemental energy! Such terrifying control!"

Lord Lieque was almost speechless: "He actually managed to compress such a massive amount of fire elemental power into a mere foot, thereby achieving extreme destructive power!"

Hengyi Zhenjun's eyes also flashed: "Such power should rank among the top even among Heaven-level cultivation techniques."

"I'm afraid they are direct descendants of an ancient Taoist lineage, but I don't know which sect they come from."

Heavenly-level spells cannot be generalized.

Some spells are rated as Heavenly because of their powerful effects.

Some spells are only rated as Heaven-level because that's the highest level they can reach.

In Hengyi Zhenjun's view, Xiao Chen was using a secret technique that was among the most advanced even in the Heavenly-level spells.

This shows that the Yin Corpse Sect is in big trouble.

Lord Yangjiu obviously realized this instantly as well.

He immediately flicked his sleeve, summoning a precious mirror that floated above his head, emitting a ring of spiritual light to protect himself.

Then, with a slight twitch of his fingertips, he took out a talisman and stuck it behind the magic mirror with a 'snap'.

Instantly, the already powerful spiritual light intensified by three times, forming an incredibly solid defensive line.

After making sufficient defensive preparations.

The True Lord of Calamity then took a fist-sized cloth bag from his waist.

Then, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "No wonder you're so arrogant and domineering. You do have some skill after all."

"But the worst thing you could have done was to provoke the Yin Corpse Sect!"

"Ten Thousand Poison Corpse Puppet, go!"

As he spoke, Lord Yangjiu raised his right hand and shook the bag downwards.

Then nine streams of black mist emerged from it, instantly transforming into nine hideous corpse puppets.

Their entire bodies are dark green, and just by standing in the air, they taint the surrounding air and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with green toxins.

Before long, a light green poisonous fog formed.

At the same time, each corpse puppet exuded a pressure no less than that of the fourth rank.

Among them were three corpse puppets that looked even more robust, having already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Such a terrifying reserve immediately stunned all the True Lords watching, who then looked at each other in horror.

As everyone knows, the Yin Corpse Sect is famous for its corpse puppets.

Therefore, people like Yangjiu Zhenjun should have Nascent Soul level corpse puppets in their possession.

But no one could have imagined that he would have so many!

Even if these are just corpse puppets and not real True Lords, aren't there just too many of them?
With such a rich heritage, it's no wonder that it would breed ambitions for external expansion.

"Fourth Senior Brother!"

The True Lord of Refining Evil had already summoned his spirit shield and cast an additional defensive spell to condense a jet-black armor on his body before letting out a sorrowful cry.

"Trace the trail and pinpoint the source!"

The True Lord of Sacrifice beside him also took precautions, then raised his right palm, covered his eyes with his hand, and shouted an incantation.

With his left hand, he pointed at Xiao Chen, and a gray light appeared.

The light was as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through the Four Symbols Mountain Suppressing Cover and landing on Xiao Chen. Then, after a sudden flash, it disappeared without a trace.

"Heavenly Star Demon Lord, you have fallen under my Heart-Tracking Curse!"

Upon seeing this, the True Lord of Sacrifice was delighted: "Even if you have a thousand wonderful methods today, don't think about running away like last time."

"No matter where you run, I will find you and avenge my fellow disciples."

Last time they failed to use tracking spells in time, but this time they will definitely not give them any more chances.

It is worth mentioning that this is also one of the differences between sect cultivators and independent cultivators.

When independent cultivators travel, they usually act alone, but one person's strength is ultimately limited.

Sect cultivators, on the other hand, can cooperate with each other.

Just like the Yin Corpse Sect at this time, the Calamity Lord was responsible for facing the enemy head-on and attacking with magic; the Bone Sacrifice Lord consciously took on the responsibility of assisting from the side and continuously tracking them.

Most of the time, this kind of combination is very effective.

But in Xiao Chen's eyes, it made him want to laugh.

You don't still think that I was the one who should have run away, do you?
These people from the Yin Corpse Sect truly lived up to the saying—they didn't even realize they were about to die.

Since that's the case, let them see clearly what the situation really is.

"Burning Mountain Palm!"

Xiao Chen directly used the fourth palm technique, which was more advantageous for simultaneously attacking multiple enemies.

In an instant, orange-yellow spiritual fire descended from the sky, bringing the nine-headed corpse puppet and the other three members of the Yin Corpse Sect into its attack range.

The raging flames instantly transformed into a vast sea of ​​fire, almost engulfing the entire mountain where the Yin Corpse Sect was located.

A few sparks flew, and the nearby pavilions and towers were all set ablaze.

"Young friend, leave immediately!"

True Monarch Canye immediately deployed a spiritual energy barrier to block the aftershocks that were spreading in all directions, and did not forget to remind Ling Tianyi beside him.

They both originally wanted to lend a helping hand.

As a result, he was stunned by the sound wave impact and remained in place.

Just as he was regaining some consciousness and preparing his defenses, he felt an overwhelming surge of fire approaching.

Suddenly, I felt hot all over.

True Monarch Canye immediately realized that there was almost no room for them to intervene in this level of combat.

This is mainly because they had no prior experience in coordinated operations.

If you rush in to help, you're more likely to make things worse.

Perhaps we should step back for now and decide whether to rush back in to help once the situation warrants it.

Ling Tianyi was experienced in combat, so he naturally understood the meaning without needing to say more.

He immediately stepped back, his eyes fixed almost intently on the center, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind.

On one hand, he hoped that Xiao Chen could directly eliminate the members of the Yin Corpse Sect and suppress these demonic cultivators.

On the other hand, he hoped that Xiao Chen would be at a slight disadvantage, so that he could have a chance to make a move.

On the one hand, he felt that his previous thoughts were incredibly selfish.

On the other hand, he genuinely wanted to use the Demon-Slaying Sword to truly fight against demonic cultivators and eliminate evil to protect the righteous path.

With a mix of thoughts, Ling Tianyi's mood became quite complicated.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Under the raging flames, the light green poisonous mist was almost instantly evaporated.

Even the nine corpse puppets that had just been released were forced to emit thick, dark green smoke.

Unlike the three members of the Yin Corpse Sect, they couldn't hide behind the spirit shield.

Therefore, once they were surrounded by the blazing flames, they immediately began to melt, just like snowmen.

"Great Poison Array, activate!"

The Lord of Calamity immediately activated the Corpse Puppet Formation and threw out a talisman in an attempt to suppress the flames.

The talisman floated down above the nine corpse puppets and instantly exploded, forming a large ball of frost.

It was a relatively rare ice-type talisman.

In a normal battle of wits, this would be nothing more than a matter of responding to each move as it comes.

Since you're using fire magic to create high temperatures, I'll use ice magic to lower them.

But the next moment.

Lord Yangjiu watched in disbelief as the orange-yellow spiritual fire ignited the entire mass of frost.

The talisman he originally used to lower the temperature of the corpse puppet has now become part of the fuel, just like adding fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, I received a large surge of spiritual energy.

The already powerful spiritual fire surged even more fiercely, its power increasing threefold.

The nine corpse puppets originally had some ability to resist.

As a result, the array drew away some of its power, and then it was suddenly subjected to even stronger temperatures.

Unable to resist any longer, it fell like snowflakes into a pot of boiling oil, instantly turning into rising dark green steam, and then being completely dried out.

In the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared into the world.

It was as if they had never existed.

"Crack~!"

Fortunately, there was another side where the Spirit Shield of the True Monarch of Refining Evil was crackling and popping under the high temperature, reminding everyone what was going on.

Shuyu Zhenjun glanced in that direction following the sound.

As a result, his eyeballs almost popped out.

The spirit shield, which was originally brass-colored, was now completely glowing red.

It felt like stepping back into the forging furnace of a weapon refiner.

It had even begun to deform slightly, no wonder it made a crackling sound; the pressure it was under was simply too great.

Given this situation, it's no longer a question of winning or losing.

The real question is how much longer the Yin Corpse Sect can hold out.

To be honest, Shuyu Zhenjun regretted it. She shouldn't have sided with the Yin Corpse Sect so quickly. If only she could have delayed it for a little longer.

It's a pity that we saw the other side send four True Lords at once, which showed them great sincerity and put pressure on us.

This led her to agree to the collaboration without giving it a few more days to consider it.

Even if you wanted to back out now, it's probably too late.

"If we're going to do something, we might as well go all the way!"

Shuyu Zhenjun gritted his teeth, took out a long flute, and played "Song of Falling Snow".

As the name suggests, this is an ice-themed piece of music that can create a scene of heavy snowfall between heaven and earth, while also bringing a large amount of cold air.

Weaker enemies will be frozen in place.

Even the strongest can be affected by the cold current, causing them to move slowly and their spiritual energy to circulate at a slower pace.

The most ingenious aspect is that, because it is a piece of music, it can directly affect the speed of the circulation of true essence within the bodies of nearby cultivators through defensive spells.

The only drawback is that we haven't had time to engage in in-depth cooperation with the Yin Corpse Sect.

Therefore, when she sang "Snowfall Song," it affected everyone present without discrimination.

"what?"

Those who were slightly closer felt the stagnation in their true energy and their expressions immediately changed.

He was already several miles away, so why was he still so obviously affected? If he were closer, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
Qingxiao Zhenjun seemed to be used to it, and his expression did not change much.

The main reason was that the Tianyin Sect of Wulei Temple was nearby, and he had experienced the "Song of Falling Snow" more than once when he was young.

Of course, he still felt a bit emotional.

Compared to the previous one, Shuyu Zhenjun's mastery of this magic has clearly improved even further.

Right now, those people in the middle of the battlefield probably have less than half their true essence circulating.

In fact, the impact varies from person to person.

Both the Refining Demon Lord and the Sacrifice Bone Lord felt a chilling aura enter their bodies, causing their true essence to feel as if it were about to freeze.

Because of his high cultivation level, Lord Yangjiu was much stronger than them, and he only noticed that the flow of true essence was about 10% slower.

Xiao Chen was the primary target of the attack.

He felt almost nothing.

In fact, "Snowfall Song" has already reduced his true energy circulation speed by a lot, but the problem is that he has Hextech enhancement.

What's the difference between a turnover speed of 100 times and a turnover speed of slightly more than 99 times?

In terms of magical combat, since the power level is already significantly exceeded, a little more or less will have no impact.

Shuyu Zhenjun's attempt to influence him in this way is simply wishful thinking.

Even if the founder of the original "Snowfall Song" were to come in person, he would reduce the flow of true essence of those present by 90%.

Xiao Chen can still outperform ordinary True Monarchs by a full ten times!
Moreover, since True Monarch Shuyu is not that powerful, it has no effect whatsoever.

However, the actual effectiveness is one thing.

This action itself indicates that she is no longer just making things difficult for the Yin Corpse Sect, but has directly participated in the battle.

Sure enough, at the same time the flute music started.

The protective array of the Tianyin Sect also shone with an even brighter light.

The power of the array gathered together, half of which remained in front of True Monarch Shuyu for protection, while the other half rushed to Xiao Chen's side, forming layers of suppression.

Suddenly, all sorts of restrictions appeared around him.

For example, preventing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from gathering near him.

For example, a no-fly zone could be created to prevent him from continuing to fly through the air.

For example, the suppression and restrictions were created to make him feel as if he were carrying a small mountain on his back.

Faced with this situation, without the help of a spirit object to break the formation, things will definitely get very troublesome.

After all, even the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to directly confront a fourth-order mountain-protecting formation presided over by another Nascent Soul cultivator.

Because in this way, he was actually fighting against hundreds of meticulously crafted array bases.

He was actually fighting against hundreds or thousands of fourth-tier spiritual materials and the array patterns inscribed on them.

He was actually fighting against tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones within the mountain-protecting formation.

Moreover, the three True Monarchs of the Yin Corpse Sect are now eyeing the area covetously.

Under the control of True Lord Shuyu, they were not subject to any restrictions from the great formation.

"Damn it, the Heavenly Sound Sect has actually colluded with the Corpse Sect in secret!"

Lord Canye's expression immediately changed: "What should we do now?"

With the protective mountain formation in place, the situation was reversed in an instant.

Xiao Chen was located very deep, almost close to the main peak of Miaoyin Mountain.

Therefore, even if one wants to break through, it requires a considerable journey.

Normally, it would only take a few breaths.

But today, it would probably be an incredibly long time, even to the point of being trapped in shallow waters.

"Fellow Daoist Shuyu, what are you trying to do!"

Ling Tianyi roared, "The Yin Corpse Sect has already degenerated into a demonic sect. Are you going to aid and abet this evil?"

"Or is it that the Heavenly Sound Sect has also strayed into the demonic path, and you intend to become enemies of the righteous path of the world!"

Upon hearing this, Shuyu Zhenjun's heart trembled.

Neither she nor the Tianyin Sect could bear the reputation of being enemies of the righteous path of the world.

But the more she did this, the more ruthless she became.

You're all forcing me, aren't you? Then don't blame me for really joining the demonic path!

Therefore, when faced with Ling Tianyi's accusations, she simply chose to turn a deaf ear and pretend that she had not heard anything.

"Hmph, they're practically courting death!"

Seeing this, True Monarch Qingxiao snorted coldly: "She dared to openly help the Demonic Sect today. It won't be long before the Heavenly Sound Sect is removed from the Inner Sea."

This would be a good thing for the Five Thunder Temple.

Even for the sake of balance, it is not possible to directly take over the Cloud Pool Sea.

At that time, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to fight against the demonic sect to seize several important resource strongholds and greatly enhance our strength.

"But I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Xiao is in danger."

True Monarch Cheguang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Senior Brother, let's work together to rescue that Fellow Daoist Xiao."

"Although he acts impulsively, he seems like a good person. Let's hope he doesn't get caught up in this."

Because Master Cheguang was often criticized by his senior brother for acting impulsively and being reckless.

This actually made him feel a little closer to Xiao Chen.

Qingxiao Zhenjun felt it was feasible, but cautioned, "Don't rush, our combined strength is not enough to save them. Let me first ask the other fellow Daoists for their opinions."

As he thought this, he couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Chen was indeed very lucky.

They happened to run into an exchange meeting, so most of the righteous people were present.

Otherwise, if there were only two or three True Lords outside, they might not be able to help him break through.

After all, if the Yin Corpse Sect were not restricted by the formation, they could easily send two people out to hold them off.

At least four True Lords would need to be willing to take action to create a certain opportunity.

However, Qingxiao Zhenjun was unaware that Xiao Chen had no intention of seeking help from outsiders.

He was considering which method he should use to get out of trouble.

If we're talking about spiritual items for breaking formations, he actually does have one.

That was the Yellow Stone Spirit Disturbance Array Flag that I obtained in the cave of the Black Iron Venerable.

As long as he activates the spirit-disrupting array flag, the Heavenly Sound Sect's mountain-protecting array will immediately become ineffective.

Besides.

Similarly, obtaining the Xuanzong Zhenxie Sword Pill within the cave can achieve a similar effect.

All we need to do is activate the sword pellet and kill Lord Shuyu directly.

Based on the power described by the Black Iron Venerable, it even felt like it could take down the three members of the Yin Corpse Sect at the same time.

"But wouldn't it be too wasteful to use it on them?"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment: "Since we've already dismantled quite a few array bases, why don't we try breaking the array first?"

He also had another way to break the formation—a mechanical grappling hook.

He kept this move hidden because he was only at the Golden Core stage at that time.

Now that he has broken through to the True Lord realm, there is no longer a situation where a child is carrying gold in the marketplace.

Besides, it has already been used in the Ocean of Compassion, so there is no need to continue hiding it.

So Xiao Chen directly activated the mechanical claw at Shuyu Zhenjun.

Suddenly, an iron chain shot out, ignoring the layers of restrictions, protections, protective auras, and defensive shields between the two, and directly grabbed the other party.

"Broken Yue Palm!"

Xiao Chen had naturally prepared to take action in advance.

Almost simultaneously with the capture of the person, a large amount of true energy gathered into a palm and slammed down.

"boom!"

Shuyu Zhenjun's head was smashed to pieces like a watermelon.

The surrounding array suddenly lost its controller, and the main array flag, in particular, became ownerless and immediately lost its effect.

what?
Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just like the shock felt when they first witnessed the mechanical claw on the other side of the Sea of ​​Compassion, a series of gasps of cold air immediately followed.

He could take down a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a single palm strike!
Who can stand this!

The three members of the Yin Corpse Sect finally panicked.

The True Lord of Refining Evil and the True Lord of Sacrificing Bones seemed to have already foreseen their fate, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Only Lord Yangjiu managed to remain somewhat calm.

But he also knew that if this trend continued, they would surely die.

But he just couldn't understand it: "Since you have such strength, why do you still need to resort to those underhanded tricks?"

Ok?
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. What was this guy saying?

However, Lord Yangjiu was quick-witted, and he instantly realized: "So that's how it is, true skill lies in simplicity!"

"You deliberately spread your schemes to mislead us into misjudging your strength."

"In this way, we can be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Excellent, excellent, excellent plan indeed!"

Ok?
Who is he talking to?
Xiao Chen was truly dumbfounded.

But Lord Yangjiu suddenly swung his right hand and plunged it directly into his own chest: "But you don't know, do you? I have already mastered the Blood Demon Technique."

"Blood Demon Transformation!"

As he spoke, thousands of lacerations suddenly appeared all over his body, spurting out large amounts of blood.

At the same time, accompanied by a large amount of demonic energy visibly leaking out, the aura of Lord Yangjiu increased sharply, clearly indicating that he wanted to transform into a demon.

Moreover, the demonic energy formed a barrier, ensuring that outsiders could not interfere with the process.

"Oh no, he has truly fallen into demonic possession!"

Ignoring his senior brother's instructions, True Monarch Che Guang immediately activated his spell: "Demon-Slaying Thunder!"

Immediately, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the demonic energy barrier.

However, even the thunder magic, known for its power, could not budge the barrier in the slightest when faced with the demonic energy that it was supposed to counter.

In this way, the spells of the other True Lords will likely be even less effective.

However, just as disappointment and anxiety began to creep into everyone's hearts, they heard a soft shout.

"Sky-Shattering and Mountain-Melting Palm!"

In that instant, time seemed to slow down.

Only a glimmer of light appeared from the sky, followed by a torrent of heavenly fire.

Purify the world and burn away demons!
The Calamity Lord, who had not yet completed his transformation, lasted less than a moment before vanishing into nothingness amidst screams.

As for his two junior brothers who were only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they turned to ashes even earlier than him.

"Shh!"

With a flash, Xiao Chen landed on Miaoyin Mountain below.

They blocked the sparks that were drifting down from the sky for the Tianyin Sect's treasury.

Looking at the steward hiding in the warehouse array, he smiled slightly and said, "Hey, help me open the door."

The other party swiftly lifted the restrictions on the warehouse.

Then he knelt on the ground with a thud: "This humble one pays respects to... True Lord Burning Demon!"

"Welcome, True Lord, to Miaoyin Mountain!"
