Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

Master Shuyu is currently engaged in a fierce battle with a mid-stage demon king.

The demon king was surrounded by lightning, and every strike he made carried the power of thunder—that was his innate spell, [Thunderstrike].

Master Shuyu had only mastered the first divine power, [Vast Ocean], and now he was activating it with all his might, creating towering waves that formed layers of water curtains in front of him.

But the demon king's lightning was extremely domineering, each strike piercing through several layers of water curtain, forcing Master Shuyu to retreat repeatedly.

Her face was pale, and her spiritual energy was greatly depleted, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. As soon as one layer of the water curtain was breached, she would set up another, determined not to let the demon king cross the line.

The demon king grinned maliciously, "Little lady, can't hold on any longer? Let me send you on your way!"

His body crackled with lightning, transforming into a thunder dragon that lunged at Master Shuyu with bared fangs and claws.

Master Shuyu gritted his teeth, channeled his spiritual power, and created a water curtain—

Just then, a ray of light flashed by.

Li Xiaoyao landed beside her, raised his hand and summoned the [Yexiao Curtain], which transformed into a curtain of light that stood between the two of them and the thunder dragon.

The thunder dragon crashed into the light barrier with a deafening roar, causing the rosy light to tremble violently, yet it managed to withstand the impact.

"Fellow Daoist Shangyuan..." Master Shuyu was taken aback.

Li Xiaoyao didn't turn his head, but said in a deep voice, "I'll help you carry it, you fight."

A glint flashed in Master Shuyu's eyes, and he nodded emphatically.

She took a deep breath, her spiritual power surging wildly within her body, and activated the [Vast Ocean] at full power—not for defense, but for attack!

The towering waves condensed into a water dragon, which then rotated and compressed, transforming into a high-speed rotating water blade.

That was her ultimate move, where she compressed all her spiritual power to its limit. Though it didn't have the name of a supernatural power, it possessed the substance of one.

The demon king was bombarding Li Xiaoyao's radiant curtain with all his might when he suddenly sensed danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The water blade pierced his chest.

The demon king stared wide-eyed at the gaping hole in his chest, his face filled with disbelief. The lightning around him flickered twice before extinguishing with a roar, and his corpse plummeted from the sky.

Shuyu Zhenren stopped, staggered a bit, and Li Xiaoyao reached out to support her.

Thanks.

Li Xiaoyao nodded without saying anything more. The two exchanged a glance, then turned and went back to their other battles.

Not far away, True Man Tingyuan (of the Yinshui lineage) was locked in battle with a mid-stage demigod and an early-stage demon king.

His first supernatural power, [Hanzhang Valley], transformed into a deep pool, trapping the two enemies within.

The demigod's divine kingdom struggled in the deep pool, but he could not break free.

The demon king's innate magic struck the pool, only creating ripples.

However, with two enemies joining forces, even True Immortal Tingyuan found it difficult to defeat them quickly. He could only trap them in a deep pool while continuously eroding and depleting their strength with the power of water.

Li Xiaoyao flew over, and the [Yexiao Curtain] descended, enveloping the mid-stage demigod alone.

With the pressure on True Person Tingyuan greatly reduced, he immediately unleashed his full power, causing the deep pool of [Hanzhang Valley] to surge and completely submerge the demon king.

Moments later, the two enemies died one after the other.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangyuan." True Man Tingyuan cupped his hands in thanks.

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and continued searching for his next target.

When Master Baichuan faced an early-stage demigod, he used his first divine power, "Ten Thousand Pounds Falling," to transform into countless water droplets, each as heavy as a thousand pounds, which crashed down from the sky.

The demigod supported the divine kingdom, but it was smashed and was on the verge of collapse.

However, an early-stage demon king joined the battle, and his innate spell [Earth Split] attacked from the flank. Master Baichuan had to divide his attention to deal with it, fighting two against one and struggling to defend himself.

Li Xiaoyao arrived and used the [Yexiao Curtain] to cover the demon king.

With his full power, Master Baichuan was able to deal with the demigod. He unleashed his full power with the "Ten Thousand Pounds Fall" technique, and thousands of water droplets smashed the demigod's divine kingdom to pieces, killing the demigod on the spot.

At the same time, Li Xiaoyao removed the curtain, and Master Baichuan turned around and killed the demon king who had been temporarily trapped with a single sword strike.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and went their separate ways.

Han Che Zhenren remained as cold as frost, unleashing his first divine power, [Soul Frost Court], which froze the air within a hundred feet of him.

He fought two opponents alone, his ice spear like a dragon, and had already taken down one of the early-stage demigods.

However, the other mid-stage demon king's innate spell, [Burning Heaven Flame], is exactly the counter to the cold attribute. When the flames collide with the ice, a white mist rises up.

Han Che Zhenren's left shoulder was grazed by a flame, leaving his skin charred black, but he didn't even flinch.

When Li Xiaoyao arrived, he saw the demon king condensing a huge fireball, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Han Che.

He raised his hand and cast the [Sky Curtain] spell, blocking the fireball in mid-air. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Master Han Che closed in, his ice spear piercing the demon king's throat.

Thank you.

It was rare for Master Han Che to speak.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and turned to leave.

Makino Masato remains as honest as ever, but he is extremely ruthless.

His first supernatural power, "Stacked Peaks," caused layers of earthen walls to rise from the ground, protecting him in the center.

An early-stage demon king's innate spell struck it, shattering only three layers of earthen walls before three new layers rose up.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Makino Zhenren rushed out from behind the earthen wall and smashed the demon king's head with a punch.

He looked up and saw Li Xiaoyao flying towards him. He grinned and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangyuan, I've taken care of things here. Go help others!"

Li Xiaoyao nodded and changed direction.

The flying sword of Jinpan Zhenren (Duijin Daotong) was extremely sharp. His first divine power, [Zhefeng Han], transformed into thousands of sword shadows, exuding a chilling aura.

He was locked in combat with a mid-stage demigod when he unleashed his second divine power, "Autumn Fall White." The sword shadows transformed into a sky full of white light, falling like autumn frost, shattering the demigod's divine kingdom into pieces.

However, another early-stage demon king attacked from the flank, and Jinpan Zhenren was unable to defend against both at the same time.

Li Xiaoyao arrived, and the [Yexiao Curtain] descended, temporarily trapping the Demon King.

With his full power unleashed, Jinpan Zhenren unleashed the full power of [Qiu Luo Bai], completely shattering the demigod's divine kingdom.

As the demigod fell, he turned and struck with his sword, taking advantage of Li Xiaoyao's moment of removing the veil, and killed the demon king on the spot.

Guanghua Zhenren (Baotu Daotong) was surrounded by golden light, and his first supernatural power [Hidden Mountains and Seas] was unleashed. In the void around him, there were faint images of mountains and seas floating and sinking, protecting him completely.

A powerful innate spell from an early-stage demon king struck it, only causing the illusory image of mountains and seas to tremble slightly.

Master Guanghua raised his hand, unleashing his second divine power, [Awakening the Yellow Court]—a phantom image of a Yellow Court Palace descended from the sky, suppressing the demon king within.

The demon king struggled wildly through the palace, but couldn't break free. Master Guanghua glanced at him, ignored him, and turned to help the other Daoists.

The demon king was suppressed in the Yellow Court and could not escape for the time being.

The flames of True Person Danxi (of the Muhuo lineage) transformed into the shape of a pill furnace. His first divine power, [Burning the Nine Netherworlds], burned the furnace until it was red-hot. An early-stage demigod was trapped inside the furnace, and the divine kingdom sizzled.

The demigod screamed in agony within the furnace, his divine realm melting away at a visible speed. Moments later, silence fell; the demigod had been reduced to ashes.

Frosty Immortal and Golden Rock Immortal both cultivated the [Folding Edge Cold] technique. With their two flying swords positioned on the left and right, they forced an early-stage demon king to retreat repeatedly.

The demon king already had multiple sword wounds and was on the verge of collapse. Another early-stage demigod tried to come to his aid, but was stopped by Li Xiaoyao's timely arrival at [Yexiaowei].

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Frost-Edged Immortal beheaded the demon king with a single sword strike.

The moonlight power of the True Person Mingsu (Shaoyin Daoist) poured out like mercury, and her first divine power, [Winter Decree], caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, slowing down the operation of the divine kingdom of a demigod.

The second divine power, [Autumn Moon Lake], manifested, with a bright moon hanging behind him amidst autumn frost, and a continuous stream of moonlight descended to erode the opponent.

Li Chijing and she cultivated the same lineage. At this moment, she was fighting a mid-stage demigod alone. Although it was difficult, she was steady and methodical, slowly wearing down the opponent's divine kingdom with the power of moonlight.

When Li Xiaoyao arrived, the demigod's divine kingdom was already on the verge of collapse.

He didn't make a move; he simply stood by and protected Master Mingsu.

Master Mingsu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and continued to activate the power of the moonlight. A moment later, the demigod's divine kingdom shattered, and the demigod died.
