Chapter 147 Intelligent Control of the Beast Lord Dragon Butterfly Devours, Blood Lotus Counterattacks, Secret Mansion Collapses [Two-in-One]

The so-called glow.

It is actually somewhat similar to the human aura in a past life, which is formed by the dissipation of energy.

As soon as the dragon butterfly entered, it sensed the source of the problem.

'That's the true core of the puppet, the key to refining it and making it recognize you as its master.'

Looking at the egg-sized crystal core with its ever-flowing five-colored light under the secret technique's vision, Tang Hao suddenly understood.

At first, Tang Hao actually believed what the artifact spirit said.

But when the other party asked him to take the [Five Elements Wheel] and make it his own, he realized that this guy definitely had another purpose.

The [Primordial Beast Lord] is like a car, and the [Five Elements Wheel] is just a key. You can drive the car away with the key.

But on the core of the green book, your name isn't written; you're ultimately not the owner of the car.

'From this perspective, its aim is nothing more than to shut down the suppressive forces in this area.'

He knew perfectly well who the black chains on the five-colored radiance were pointing to.

It is obvious that the spirit of the [Primordial Beast Lord] has been corrupted by the Nightmare Dragon.

As a multitude of thoughts flashed through her mind, the Dragon Butterfly had already fused together and pounced on the core of the puppet.

A repulsive force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking it out.

'This repulsive force also belongs to one of the five elements, which is quite similar to the shield [Eternal Life].'

Tang Hao suddenly had a thought, recalling the words the artifact spirit had just spoken.

"From what I see, young friend, you are cultivating the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique."

'The era in which the other party lived is unknown, yet it was able to recognize at a glance what kind of cultivation technique I was practicing, which means…' His thoughts raced.

His eyes lit up: "The Five Elements Qi Refining Technique is the inheritance of the Five Elements Heaven!"

He immediately locked onto the secret runes of the Nightmare Butterfly in his mind and secretly channeled his magic power to cross over.

The aura around the dragon butterfly suddenly changed; it was no longer pure spiritual power, but rather the energy of the five elements was rising.

Then it lunged at the puppet's core again.

Seemingly sensing a familiar magical aura, this time, the repulsive force seemed to disappear, allowing the dragon butterfly to plunge in.

'Excellent! It will succeed.' Tang Hao was overjoyed and controlled the dragon butterfly to transform into a divine sense imprint, which he then imprinted onto the core.

The original owner of the [Primordial Beast Lord] has been dead for countless years.

There were naturally no traces of others left in the core of the puppet. He easily imprinted his divine sense on it and became its master.

At the same time, a notification message popped up.

There are ads to watch

He had just selected "Watch later" when a roar came from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw thick black energy emanating from Beishan Ming's body, faintly condensing into the shape of a demonic dragon.

With a thought, he activated his secret vision again and saw a black chain of energy emerge from the swirling black and purple light.

Following the mysterious connection, it climbed towards the Five Elements Wheel in the hollow cavity of the Primordial Beast Lord's chest.

As the chain was about to touch the ring, Tang Hao's lips curled up slightly.

The command is given in the mind: 'Retrieve the [Five Elements Wheel]!'

Then, I quickly selected "OK".

As the black chains of energy entangled the ring, preparing to infiltrate it and use it as a springboard to once again seize control of the [Primordial Beast Lord].

The Five Elements Wheel suddenly shifted from reality to illusion, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered like a dream, disappearing without a trace.

The black chains froze, then looked around blankly before confirming that the ring was indeed gone.

"No!!!" A roar that was neither human nor dragon came from Beishan Ming's mouth.

He swung his hand forward sharply, and black energy, carrying the Five Elements Wheel, hurtled towards him.

"Tsk, the old path is no longer viable, so you're planning to pave your own? Dream on!"

As Tang Hao dodged, he snapped his fingers with a "snap," instantly sealing the hollow cavity in the puppet beast's chest.

The ring struck the puppet beast's chest with a loud "thud".

The Primordial Beast Lord remained unmoved, while the Five Elements Wheel was shattered of its black energy and sent flying.

Upon receiving a signal from his young master, Yao Guang darted forward and grabbed the ring in his hand.

Beishan Ming's expression changed, and he shouted angrily, "Let go!"

He changed the hand seals in succession, trying to recall the [Five Elements Wheel].

No matter how much the ring struggled, it could not escape the control of the flesh and blood puppet, which was at the level of a high-grade spiritual artifact.

Tang Hao's fingers trembled, and several sealing talismans were quickly affixed to the ring. The creature immediately stopped struggling and was stored in Tang Hao's ring.

"You...you ruined all of this, I'm going to eat (kill) you!" Kitayama Ming shouted out two voices.

With a single movement, it stomped its foot on the ground, and the surface of the altar immediately cracked inch by inch.

Suddenly, he unleashed the aura of a Core Formation stage cultivator, and a powerful burst of energy rippled outwards.

Langgan and the others only realized they needed to run away when he unleashed the Five Elements Wheel.

They were all grazed by the impact and fell towards the outside of the altar.

Tang Hao and the nine women flashed away and hid behind the puppet beast.

'Unfortunately, puppet beasts are different from magical artifacts; they lack a spirit. With my Foundation Establishment stage strength, I have absolutely no way to control them in battle.'

He glanced at him and saw that Beishan Ming was carrying a heavy burden; with each step he took, the ground trembled slightly.

Its body seemed unable to withstand the strain, and cracks began to appear, from which blood slowly flowed out.

'A possession technique?' Tang Hao frowned upon seeing this. 'The Nightmare Dragon's methods are truly diverse.'

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

"How about this: the nine of us will hold him off, Your Highness, while you escape in the flying boat!"

"Why run? His Core Formation cultivation is fake. If we all self-destruct, we should be able to destroy him."

The nine women started discussing it amongst themselves.

After a moment's thought, Tang Hao instructed, "Be careful, I'll make the first move, then you all gang up on him!"

"As you command, Your Highness!"

After making the arrangements, he put a few pills in his mouth and held them there. He immediately formed a hand seal, drawing up a spell but not releasing it.

Then he continuously activated the Nightmare Butterfly until it reached its limit, and a large number of dragon butterflies emerged in his sea of ​​consciousness before he finally stopped.

Just then, the heavy footsteps suddenly disappeared.

Tang Hao couldn't help but stick his head out again, searching for Bei Shanming's location.

As a result, around the same time as him, another head appeared on the opposite side.

"Are you looking for me?" A stark white smile, a sinister tone.

Startled, Tang Hao jumped: "Holy crap! You son of a bitch..."

In a moment of panic, he unleashed the spell he had been holding in his hand for so long.

"Fuck him!"

"You dare to scare me?" Tang Hao gave the order, and the nine women followed closely behind the white light sphere, rushing towards Beishan Ming.

"Hehe, that's it? I..." Before Beishan Ming could finish speaking, his eyes went blank.

"Oh!"

The ball of light exploded on his body, the phantom of the Nightmare Dragon swayed, and wisps of black energy dissipated.

"Come on!"

"Beat him to death!"

"go to hell!"

The nine women shouted as their fists and weapons rained down upon them.

The black mist dissipated even faster.

The reason why Beishan Ming fell into a daze was naturally not due to the effect of the [Purification Technique].

As Tang Hao unleashed the light sphere, the swarm of dragon butterflies in his sea of ​​consciousness broke through the barrier and appeared in the spirit's consciousness space.

He certainly didn't come to devour the spirit of the artifact, but to liberate it.

As expected, this is the true spirit of the [Primordial Beast Sovereign]. One after another, dragon butterflies rushed towards the black chains of energy, gnawing, tearing, and slashing upwards with their wings.

Caterpillars crawled out of the spirit's body and gnawed at the chains along the way.

After realizing something was wrong, Tang Hao ordered the first one to keep laying and hatching eggs, and now there were more of them than dragon butterflies.

Even though the Nightmare Dragon was far stronger than him, it couldn't withstand the combined attack of so many dragon butterflies and caterpillars.

"Boom!"

“Bang!”

One by one, the black chains snapped.

The chains tried to re-enter, but were blocked by the dragon butterfly.

Even after the dragon butterflies were whipped into disintegration, they would immediately regroup and charge forward again, fearless of death.

"Ouch!"

With a deafening roar, and as several black chains broke free, the [Primordial Beast Lord] finally regained a sliver of strength.

Its body shimmered with five-colored light, from which a streak of gray silk suddenly took shape.

With a mere flick of its wrist, the gray ribbon shattered and destroyed all the black chains in the consciousness space.

"So strong?" Tang Hao's mouth dropped open.

However, it was immediately noticed that the [Primordial Beast Lord]'s aura rapidly declined, far weaker than before: 'Alright, so it was a desperate attack.'

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he saw his consciousness begin to shatter like a bubble.

Before he fell out, the tiger head of the [Primordial Beast Lord] nodded at him.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Tang Hao actually saw a hint of liberation in the beast's eyes, which were filled with liquid mercury.

'No way? The real spirit of the artifact isn't just gone like this, is it?' He couldn't help but frown. 'That's a huge loss.'

Returning our attention to the outside world, the nine women were still diligently beating up Kitayama Ming, and, well, the phantom of the Nightmare Dragon outside his body.

Everything in the space of consciousness, though seemingly fleeting, is in reality nothing more than a moment.

He was about to join the battle to beat up Kitayama Ming and crush the will of the Demon Nightmare Dragon.

Suddenly, a spray of blood rained down on the [Primordial Beast Lord] with a "whoosh".

"Holy crap!" Tang Hao exclaimed in surprise, and a bamboo umbrella instantly appeared in his hand.

The Thousand Leaf Spirit Shield opened with a "whoosh" as he unleashed his powerful magic.

Bamboo leaves flew out from the umbrella, piling up in mid-air to form a defensive barrier above the puppet beast.

"Huh? The little guy reacts pretty quickly." A familiar voice rang out.

He looked up at the sound and immediately saw the petite figure shrouded in blood mist in the air.

'Flower Ghost?'

Tang Hao's pupils contracted, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

The other person's expression and demeanor were as if they had become a completely different person.

Although he had only met her twice, the naivety that shone through her girlish charm left a deep impression on him.

At this moment, the girl's expression could be described in one word—overbearing.

She seemed to disregard everything.

'Could the witch have been possessed?' Tang Hao thought warily. 'There have been so many cultivators and demons here; it's hard to guarantee there aren't any fake artifact spirits out there.'

As the thought crossed his mind, he was shocked to realize that the [Thousand Leaf Spirit Shield] was rapidly slipping out of his control.

'This is a Blood Sacrifice Technique!'

When fighting enemies, Blood Cultivators often use Blood Sacrifice and Spirit Impurity techniques.

The former uses blood to forcibly refine the opponent's treasure, while the latter defiles the spiritual essence of the opponent's treasure.

The combination of the two causes cultivators immense suffering.

The instant the [Thousand Leaf Spirit Shield] slipped out of his control, Tang Hao flipped his hand, and a palm-sized water and fire lotus flower shot straight into the sky.

This lotus flower was extremely solid, and as it flew, the power of water and fire surged within it.

Hua Guigui soared through the air, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

With a wave of her small hand, the [Thousand Leaf Spirit Shield] instantly reversed, its umbrella facing downwards, and the heavy bamboo leaf shield met the water and fire lotus.

Just as the two were about to collide, a scene that left Hua Guigui speechless appeared.

The bamboo umbrella artifact that she had forcibly seized through a blood sacrifice instantly vanished like a phantom, turning from real to ethereal.

The water and fire lotus flowers slammed directly into her.

Hua Guigui coughed up a mouthful of blood: "How dare you! You dare to hurt this holy maiden! I'll make you live..."

Before she could finish her harsh words, a white, luminous ball of light slammed into her forehead.

The girl's body trembled, and she lost control, falling from the air.

"You want me to give birth? Give birth to what? A monkey?" Glancing at her small frame, Tang Hao curled his lip. "I won't do anything illegal."

With a wave of his hand, he bound her with an enhanced version of the icy chain; the [Purification Technique] wouldn't stun her for long.

'The witch has really been possessed? She doesn't remember my [Purification Spell] at all, and still claims to be a saintess.' He frowned and tossed the girl aside. 'By the way, where's the Purification Child?'

Speak of the devil, and he appears; a white streak of light suddenly arrives.

He paused in mid-air, transforming into a young Taoist boy with silver hair, a white robe, and red lips and white teeth.

He was panting heavily, wrinkling his nose and sniffing around for a while.

“The aura disappeared here.” Jingchen Tongzi glanced at the puppet beast, then at the nine armored guards who were ganging up on Beishan Ming.

Then he turned to the young man who possessed the appearance of a prodigy and asked kindly, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, have you seen a female blood cultivator?"

"Are you talking about her?"

Tang Hao stepped aside, revealing Hua Guigui on the ground behind him.

Upon seeing her bound hand and foot, Jingchen Tongzi's mouth gaped open, and he stared at the two of them in astonishment.

"Um, may I come over?" he asked politely, and only after receiving permission did he land.

As soon as he got closer, the young Taoist frowned and sniffed: "Huh? This smell..."

Just now in the air, he vaguely smelled a familiar scent in Hua Guigui's aura, but it was almost wiped out by a force of water and fire.

The aroma was much stronger now.

Examining the icy chains on Hua Guigui's body, Jingchen Tongzi understood.

He whispered, "Tang Hao?"

'This guy really has a keen sense of smell.' Tang Hao clicked his tongue and replied in kind, 'We meet again, boy.'

'What a tragic fate!' Jingchen Tongzi sighed inwardly.

Since they were on the same side, he no longer held back. He glanced at Beishan Ming, shook his head speechlessly, and waved his hand to unleash a purifying force.

"hold head high……"

With a mournful roar, the phantom of the Nightmare Dragon formed from black energy on Beishan Ming's body disintegrated.

As the remaining purifying power entered his body, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

'This guy has practically wiped the floor clean.' Tang Hao chuckled inwardly as he watched this scene.

Then, looking at Hua Guigui, who was also lying on the ground, he asked the Taoist boy, "What's wrong with this guy? He seems like a completely different person."

"It wouldn't be so much a change of personnel," said Jingchen Tongzi after a slight hesitation.

He explained honestly, "She was possessed by nightmare energy, trapped in an illusion, and her consciousness was affected. She was, uh, controlled by her former self."

Tang Hao was taken aback, and immediately remembered the scene he had seen in the resonance image.

"From inside Flower Ghost Ghost's body, another Flower Ghost Ghost popped out. The two Flower Ghost Ghosts cursed at each other and then started fighting."

'Dissociative identity disorder? Or two souls in one body?' He muttered to himself.

Then Jingchen Tongzi said, "Hua Guigui might be a backup plan used by Xuelian Saintess Hua Yuexi to revive herself."

"The Blood Lotus Saintess?" Tang Hao had a vague impression of her; he seemed to have heard Chi Xuanzong mention her.

Just as I was trying to recall, the ground suddenly shook violently, and cracks tore open the earth.

From the top of the cave, cracking sounds could be heard as pieces of rock fell down.

Jingchen Boy scanned the area with his divine sense and said blankly, "It looks like this place is about to collapse!"
