Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans.

Chapter 357 Lu the Turtle, You're Ruthless!

Amidst the chaos on Bibo Island, the battlefield situation began to shift with the addition of the Seven Nations Alliance.

"Senior sister!"

On this battlefield, Xu Lingfeng looked at his senior sister with some worry, but after seeing Lin Chang'an withstand the blood corpse, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Although he had only recently broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, he could already see the difference between the two.

This caused the last bit of resentment in his heart to dissipate, eventually turning into final helplessness.

Lin Chang'an, who was holding back the blood corpse, shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ni Chang, I can't hold off this blood corpse for long."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ni Chang, who was currently battling the island lord Ma Shao, twitched at the corner of her eye. Others might not know, but surely she did.

Moreover, although the Blood Corpse is strong, it is still countered by the Fiend Yuan Sword Technique.

"Damn it, how dare you ruin my plans! Today I'll turn you into food for a blood zombie."

Upon seeing the blood corpse entangled, the young island master Ma sneered and instead commanded the blood corpse to devour the man's essence and blood.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Ox let out a deep roar, its body flashing with golden defensive light. To outsiders, it appeared that Lin Chang'an was relying on the cooperation of his mid-stage third-tier spirit pet.

Their combat strength was already comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation, which caused them to show expressions of shock.

Many people were also thoughtful, as sword cultivators are already quite strong among those of the same level, not to mention the presence of a Green Horned Bull.

"The skin of this blood corpse is so stiff, it's even stiffer than the skin of the Green Horned Ox."

Lin Chang'an also secretly thought it was a tricky situation. There were too many people and many methods that he couldn't use. It seemed that he could only rely on his sword techniques when facing this blood corpse.

"Roar!"

The towering, terrifying-looking blood corpse roared and howled, emitting waves of corrosive, bloodthirsty energy from its mouth, and it also possessed the power to create filthy magical artifacts.

"You want to defile my magical artifact!"

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Lin Chang'an's eyes, and then nine golden sword beams appeared as he raised his hand.

Nine golden sword beams, condensed from pure magical power, instantly transformed into nine giant golden swords that hurtled towards the blood corpse.

The sword shadow follows the heart; once this divine ability is unleashed, the sharp sword energy exerts a powerful pressure that makes many Core Formation cultivators turn their heads in surprise.

"To think he's mastered greatsword techniques to this extent!"

The Greatsword Technique is not particularly profound, but it is very practical and many cultivators know how to use it. However, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Those like Lin Chang'an, who can release it with ease and are proficient to this extent, are all geniuses in swordsmanship.

"Roar!"

Nine giant swords attacked from all directions, and the blood corpse roared angrily.

Under Lin Chang'an's indifferent gaze, he secretly surveyed his surroundings while exchanging whispers with Fairy Ni Chang.

【Sword Shadow at Will (Perfect 3562/10000)】

He has cultivated this supernatural ability to such an extent that he can now manipulate it at will, and at the same time, he can imitate the swordsmanship genius who performs the greatsword technique so smoothly in the eyes of outsiders.

Sometimes, revealing some of your strength is the only way to reap the rewards.

For example, this time, only by demonstrating its strength within the Seven Nations Alliance can it gain the respect it deserves.

……

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Lei Pangzi from Bibo Island seemed to sense something was amiss. Although the higher-ups were beating him quite fiercely, they were clearly holding back.

This made him suspect a conspiracy.

"Young Island Master, we can't hold on much longer."

At this moment, Fatty Lei, who was in the midst of the melee, saw that the situation was not good and had the idea of ​​running away. However, with so many people, if he was the first to run away, he would be held a grudge.

Upon hearing that the people below were struggling to hold on, Young Master Ma turned around and revealed a cold glint in his eyes.

"A bunch of useless trash, none of them are willing to fight to the death."

Although the struggle for interests on Bibo Island is important to them, how could they easily risk their lives after cultivating to this level?

Especially since this time it involves a battle between two Nascent Soul cultivators, the real winners and losers are Fairy Ni Chang and Island Master Ma.

In particular, many of the Core Formation cultivators on Bibo Island joined because they were greedy for existing benefits. In the end, there were only a few people involved in the creation of this black market.

The Seven Nations Alliance, on the other hand, had endured many years of hardship and were now finally given a chance; how could they possibly give it up?

This has led to the current situation, where the Core Formation cultivators on Bibo Island were already on the verge of collapse shortly after the battle began.

"Moo!"

The Green Horned Bull stomped its four hooves, smashing the late-stage third-tier blood corpse away, while Lin Chang'an's sword light followed closely behind.

The combined efforts of the man and the ox allowed them to completely suppress the terrifying blood corpse.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, the Fairy of Rainbow Robes moved with uncanny speed, transforming into seven purple streaks of light. The silver rope and golden bell in her hand, along with the silver bell sound emanating from her veil, were mesmerizing.

This left Island Master Ma feeling extremely frustrated. He couldn't hit his opponent, and the soul attack that was causing his mind to become unstable caused his eyes to become bloodshot.

"Bitch!"

In a moment of carelessness, Island Master Ma was thrown directly onto the rocks at the edge of the island, sending shards of rock flying everywhere.

Emerging from the pile of rubble, Island Master Ma revealed a ferocious and resentful expression.

"Young Island Master!"

Fatty Lei hurriedly transmitted his voice again, and the young island lord, seeing this scene, although feeling aggrieved, grinned maliciously at Fairy Ni Chang and said:
"Fairy, this young master isn't in the mood to play with you today. The main course is about to begin..."

Suddenly, Island Master Ma let out a painful groan, and a fiery red aura emanated from his body.

This scene caused many Core Formation cultivators to exclaim in surprise, and they even showed expressions of shock.

"The art of possession!"

As the beloved grandson of a Nascent Soul cultivator from Crimson Fire Island, the person possessing his body is undoubtedly the Nascent Soul cultivator, Old Monster Crimson Fire.

"Ho ho!"

The rough laughter echoed, and although the sound wasn't loud, it struck every Core Formation cultivator like a thunderbolt, filling them with terror.

The previously chaotic battle instantly separated the two sides upon the appearance of this Nascent Soul cultivator's aura.

"Haha, you surnamed Meng, let's see how you get away with this."

“Ancestor Crimson Fire, it is this group of people who actually want to attack and occupy your Azure Wave Island.”

"Ancestor!"

For a moment, the Core Formation cultivators in Fatty Lei's group all showed victorious smiles. However, after this imposing figure with a burly build and red hair appeared,

Faced with the flattery of these opportunists, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. This scene was witnessed by Fatty Lei, which gave him a bad feeling.

"It's a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator, Crimson Fire Demon, changed the situation in an instant.

The members of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance were even more on high alert, and some of them broke out in a cold sweat.

"This junior greets Senior Chi Huo."

In the tense situation, the Fairy of Rainbow Robes, the leader of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, changed her expression immediately after hearing the telepathic message from the Meng couple. She then took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the situation has changed. The Meng couple have sent a telepathic message..."

The voice of the Fairy of Rainbow Robes reached his ears, causing Lin Chang'an's expression to change, but he still secretly made preparations.

The possession technique can only unleash up to 30% of a Nascent Soul cultivator's strength, and the possessed body cannot last long.

With his current strength, even if he can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"Fellow Daoist Ni Chang, get ready."

However, Lin Chang'an secretly communicated with Fairy Ni Chang and the other person, preparing to join forces.

"Greetings, Senior Chi Huo!"

As soon as Fairy Ni Chang spoke, the Core Formation cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance all bowed with pale faces.

"Talented people emerge in every generation. I never expected that after I had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, this generation would produce so many geniuses."

The Crimson Fire Demon had a head of red hair, a burly build, and skin on his cheeks that was a terrifying crimson red, as if it had been scorched by fire for many years. You could even see molten lava flowing under his skin, which was extremely frightening.

His face exuded an air of authority, and his voice, booming like a great bell, echoed across the sky.

"Senior is too kind." Fairy Ni Chang's face was also a little pale, after all, she was facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if he was possessed.

However, the next moment, the Crimson Fire Demon's gaze fell directly on Lin Chang'an.

"The Fiendish Sword Technique, so you are the one who inherited the Blood Fiend legacy?"

Facing the gaze of the Nascent Soul cultivator, Lin Chang'an secretly groaned. He had wanted to hide among the crowd, but it seemed that this was no longer an option.

"By sheer chance, I and several fellow Daoists were fortunate enough to receive the Blood Fiend True Man's inheritance."

At the same time, Lin Chang'an kept recalling the memories of this Blood Fiend True Man in his mind, but unfortunately they were all incomplete, with only some deeply memorable ones.

There was not a single memory related to this Crimson Flame Monster.

However, upon seeing Lin Chang'an's restrained demeanor, the Crimson Fire Demon gave him a deep look and then sighed:
"Back then, I was a formidable opponent to Blood Fiend, and we even ventured into secret realms together. Unfortunately, Blood Fiend has passed away in just a few hundred years."

Although he seemed melancholy, Lin Chang'an sensed a hint of arrogance in his tone.

In the world of cultivation, talent and supernatural abilities are valued not only, but also opportunities.

Many outsiders were optimistic about Xue Sha's chances of forming a Nascent Soul, but no one expected that it would be him who ultimately achieved Nascent Soul formation.

Looking at his old friend's successor at this moment, the Crimson Fire Demon felt an unusual sense of joy.

In the world of cultivation, the victor ultimately reigns supreme, and he emerged victorious!
"The Lord of Azure Wave Island greets Senior Crimson Fire."

Just then, the pale-faced Meng couple, supporting each other, slowly flew into the air to pay their respects.

However, upon seeing the Meng couple, Lei Pangzi and his group of Core Formation cultivators all revealed gloating smiles, confident that they had secured their victory.

"Senior, it was these two who sold your Azure Wave Island!"

"That's right, when the young island lord stood up for us, the other side still tried to stop us!"

A group of Core Formation cultivators said resentfully, "Since the Meng family won't give it to us, then let's all suffer."

However, amidst the chaotic sounds, the Crimson Fire Demon revealed a sinister smile.

Upon witnessing this scene, Fatty Lei's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he broke out in a cold sweat, having already retreated to the very edge of the room.

"Really?"

As soon as the Nascent Soul cultivator spoke, the scene fell silent.

However, the next moment, the voice of the Crimson Fire Demon caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

"However, I seem to remember that Lu the Turtle promised to give me a big gift, and I even sent my grandson to collect it. Why did we end up arguing?"

boom!
What a wonderful gift! Lu Zhenjun and the Crimson Fire Demon have made a deal!
Before anyone could react, the Meng couple directly cupped their hands and pointed at Fatty Lei and his group of more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly hand over three parts of your primordial spirit so that Senior Crimson Fire can command you!"

what!
Everyone at the scene was stunned, especially Fatty Lei and his group, who stared wide-eyed at the scene before them in disbelief.

Some of the more alert and quick-witted individuals were already sweating profusely and secretly on guard.

"Heh heh, looks like these little guys don't really listen to you?"

As the mocking laughter of the Crimson Fire Demon echoed, the Meng couple gritted their teeth and angrily rebuked:
"As the island lords of Bibo Island, my wife and I command you to immediately hand over three parts of your primordial spirit to Senior Chi Huo!"

At this moment, everyone finally realized what was happening.

It turns out that Bibo Island was just a chessboard for two Nascent Soul cultivators.

The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs even reached an agreement in private.

Lu Zhenjun took over Bibo Island, while the Crimson Fire Demon took over these dozen Core Formation cultivators.

To each his own!

The Meng couple did this as a pledge of allegiance, bearing a bad reputation from then on, which can be considered as a complete surrender to Lu Zhenjun.

"How can it be!"

Fatty Lei was terrified, his face filled with regret, but the current situation left him no time to think.

"What a joke! Everyone knows that the old demon needs a lot of cultivators' essence blood to cultivate the Crimson Sun Demon Fire."

"You ruthless man surnamed Meng! You sold Bibo Island to Lu Zhenjun, and then sold us to the Crimson Fire Demon. You've made a good deal!"

"You bastard! You're ruthless, Meng!"

The cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance looked at each other in astonishment at this unexpected turn of events.

The Core Formation cultivators who can occupy Bibo Island are all people who have crawled out of piles of corpses, and each of them has lived for hundreds of years. Naturally, they would not harbor any naive fantasies.

After understanding the situation, they reacted immediately.

"Fellow Daoists, do not panic. The Crimson Fire Demon is merely possessing a body; he is ultimately not a Nascent Soul cultivator."

However, the Crimson Fire Demon let out a domineering laugh.

"It seems I'll have to personally collect the gift from Fellow Daoist Lu!"

As soon as the words fell, Lei Pangzi and his group of Core Formation cultivators, whether they had been shouting for their lives or begging for mercy, instantly transformed into streaks of light and scattered in all directions to escape.

"Forgive us, Ancestor! We only want to live!"

"Run away!"

"You surnamed Meng, I curse your son to die a horrible death!"

Those who can cultivate to the Core Formation stage are all people of unwavering will, and how many are willing to give up their lives and fortunes?

"Haha, very good, I really like the gift Fellow Daoist Lu gave me."

The next moment, screams could be heard coming from afar.

"Grandmaster, spare my life!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to submit!"

"late!"

The Core Formation cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance turned pale. In the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators, Core Formation cultivators were like ants.

Even with only a fraction of their strength, they are not someone that a casual Core Formation cultivator can easily take advantage of.

Lin Chang'an's spiritual eyes could see even further. At this moment, his pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Beneath the crimson escape light of the Nascent Soul cultivators, one after another Core Formation cultivators were swallowed by a strange red light and then vanished without a trace.

The screams of the dozen or so Core Formation cultivators ceased in a short time.

This made many Core Formation cultivators present nervously swallow their saliva.

"I've heard that cultivating the Crimson Sun Demonic Flame requires consuming a large amount of cultivator's essence and blood to aid in the cultivation process..."

However, just as the cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance were all feeling insecure, a dark cloud suddenly flew in from afar, and Lu Zhenjun's voice echoed among the thunderclouds.

"Heh heh, Old Monster Crimson Fire, you're still as indiscriminate as ever."

"Lu Turtle, what makes you any better? You're a liar. Don't tell me that the deaths of Xue Sha and several other fellow Daoists had nothing to do with you."

"Fellow Daoist, you're really getting worse as you get older. In the cultivation world, if you weren't greedy, you wouldn't have killed yourself."

Beneath the distant rumbling thunderclouds, it seemed as if two Nascent Soul cultivators were exchanging words.

Finally, it was the Crimson Fire Demon who let out a sound of resentment and frustration.

"You're ruthless, you land turtle! Don't think you're safe just because you have the backing of the Azure Sea Palace. You made me take the blame for you back then, and now you're getting your comeuppance for what you did in the outer seas."

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that, fellow Daoist. If they have the guts, they can come to the Azure Sea Palace and demand an explanation from me. But I don't know if they dare to come!"

Damn it! Don't get cocky!

Finally, with the old monster Crimson Fire roaring, the Crimson Fire Sect cultivators on Azure Wave Island seemed to receive some kind of telepathic message, and one by one they hurriedly boarded their spirit ships and fled quickly.

Lin Chang'an also gleaned some information from these conversations, which secretly alarmed him.

No wonder this True Lord Lu didn't form his Nascent Soul in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss back then. He probably secretly tricked countless people and was afraid of being exposed, so he hid away.

However, today also strengthened his resolve to pursue the Nascent Soul stage.

Below the Nascent Soul stage, even Core Formation cultivators are nothing more than slightly larger ants.
