Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 182: Diverting trouble to the east
Inside the secret place, Lu Yongnian felt his own transformation.

As his spiritual aperture solidified on his spine, the bridge between heaven and earth was about to be completed. He felt his relationship with heaven and earth suddenly become closer, and things that were originally blurry suddenly became clear. In a daze, he seemed to see another side of the world.

"Is this the world as seen through the eyes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Lost in the profound state of communion with heaven and earth, Lu Yongnian was filled with joy, a joy that could not be shared with outsiders.

But at that moment, a burning sensation suddenly entered his mind. It was a figure a hundred feet tall, with red hair and a demonic face, bathed in crimson flames, exuding an extremely ferocious aura.

Their eyes met, and Lu Yongnian caught the malice and mockery in the other's eyes. He felt a deadly danger; the other looked at him as if he were a hunter looking at its prey.

"not good···"

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Yongnian tried to do something, but it was too late.

Whoosh! An invisible flame descended, ignoring the Lu family's protective formation. Lu Yongnian's blood was instantly ignited, and in a flash, he became a human torch.

Ah, his flesh and blood were being tortured, oozing oil, and Lu Yongnian was in extreme pain, but at this moment he seemed to be under a spell, unable to even utter a sound.

As time passed, under the tempering of this crimson flame, the spirit of the Calamity Flower, which had originally merged with Lu Yongnian and was about to transform into a Dao Foundation, began to gather again, as if it wanted to use Lu Yongnian's body as soil to nurture a new Calamity Flower.

At this moment, watching this scene from the outside world, the Fire Demon Daoist showed a hint of satisfaction.

Through Lu Yongnian's flesh and blood, he saw the reborn flower of calamity. Although it looked similar to the previous one, it was subtly different in essence. The overwhelming hatred that originated from the people and never dissipated disappeared at this moment. The new flower of calamity was pure white and flawless, untouched by any dust.

"Shifting blame and hatred can be diverted; this is a characteristic of the 'femme fatale' flower, it just needs a suitable vessel."

"After so many attempts, we have finally succeeded. In that case, there is no need for the Lu family to remain."

As the thought crossed his mind, he looked down at the Lu family and a murderous intent arose in the Fire Demon Daoist's heart. He didn't like to leave any loose ends.

In fact, regardless of whether Lu Yongnian succeeds or not, he will no longer keep the Lu family. After all, the matter of the "femme fatale" is not suitable to be spread, and he will naturally erase all traces.

The reason why the Lu family was able to obtain the spiritual seed of the Calamity Flower, the cultivation method, and even the corresponding Dao foundation inheritance was not because the Lu family ancestors stumbled upon an opportunity, as they thought, but because they admired the Lu family's expertise in the Qi of Rivers and Lakes.

The Calamity Flower is a water-related spiritual treasure. To cultivate it, the other party must have a profound understanding of the Way of Water. And to truly succeed, both favorable timing and location are indispensable.

The Lu family was not his first target, but he was the only one who succeeded.

Whoosh, flames rose, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Fire Demon Taoist created a huge fireball in his palm.

As the scorching and violent aura of the fireball emanated, the entire Lu family was alarmed, and more and more people turned their gazes toward the sky. At this moment, they still could not see the figure of the Fire Demon, but only the crimson fireball that resembled a small sun.

Realizing something was wrong, the Lu family cultivators sprang into action. However, before they could actually do anything, the fireball, which resembled a small sun, underwent another change. Black lines appeared inside, outlining a strange pattern that gave the originally lifeless fireball a touch of spirituality, making it look like a crimson eyeball.

With a whoosh, an invisible force emanated, ignoring the clan's protective formation and protective spells. All members of the Lu family who looked at the fireball were ignited by the invisible flames, turning into torches that were burned to ashes within moments.

This is the spiritual technique, the Eye of Burning Blood. Any living being who dares to look directly into the Eye of Burning Blood will have their blood ignited. What's most terrifying is that this power is contagious. As more and more members of the Lu family are ignited by looking directly into the Eye of Burning Blood, those who did not look directly into the Eye of Burning Blood are also drawn into this, turning into torches one by one.

Under such circumstances, it wasn't long before the entire Lu family compound was engulfed in flames. Taking in all these changes, the Fire Demon Daoist's square face remained indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Compared to Dao Foundation cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators are nothing more than larger ants, utterly powerless to resist. At this moment, within the Lu family, although there are still a few Qi Refining cultivators with decent strength struggling with their own power, it is nothing more than a desperate struggle, and the outcome has already been decided.

"Finally done..."

Closely watching Lu Yongnian and sensing the renewed and powerful spiritual energy of the Calamity Flower, the Fire Demon was overjoyed and reached out his palm, wanting to pluck the Calamity Flower that was rooted on Lu Yongnian's spine.

But at that moment, a vine broke through the soil and headed towards the calamity flower first.

Seeing this scene and realizing something, the Fire Demon's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.

"Old ghost Aoki, you really have guts."

He manipulated the magic seal, drawing upon the crimson flames on Lu Yongnian's body, which transformed into a fire snake. The fire demon blocked the sudden attack of the vines, preventing them from succeeding in taking the calamity flower.

At the same time, he turned his gaze in another direction, knowing that Aoki Lei was there.

Previously, Aoki Lei had concealed himself very well, but as soon as Aoki Lei made his move, he became aware of Aoki Lei's presence.

At this moment, having failed in his attack and realizing that he had been exposed, Aoki Lei revealed himself. He held a vine staff, had a full head of green hair, wore an animal skin, and walked barefoot out from a large tree, which he had previously used to conceal his presence.

"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Fire Demon? Why can't I compete for an unclaimed spiritual treasure?"

"Speaking of which, Qingyuan County belongs to the South and is the home ground of my Qingmu family. Fellow Daoist Huomo, you stole the spiritual treasures here without saying a word, which is really going too far."

With his muscles taut, Qingmu Lei looked at the Fire Demon, his aged face full of smiles.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Demon let out a cold snort. Although this old man was of mountain Yue origin, he was even more adept at twisting logic than he was.

"Old Ghost Qingmu, this 'femme fatale' is something my Chen family wants. Do you really want to go against me? Have you really forgotten the pain of past wounds?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, the Fire Demon Daoist's words carried a hint of danger.

Upon hearing this, as if recalling something, Aoki Lei touched the mark on his face that looked like a burn.

"If it were him, I would naturally back down, but Fire Demon, you are not good enough. Since I have come across such a good thing as a Spirit Treasure, I will naturally fight for it."

The smile on his face vanished, and Aoki Lei exuded a dangerous aura.

Seeing this, knowing that further words were useless, the Fire Demon made his move directly. In response, Qingmu Lei also swung his vine staff.

In an instant, the flames transformed into a torrent, and the green vines transformed into a sea of ​​vines, and the two clashed directly.
