Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

"First, you can designate an area of ​​eight hundred miles in the southeast corner of the Spirit Soul Realm to establish a stronghold, take root, and multiply."

"Your activities within the Spirit Realm are limited to the outer perimeter of the Flaming Mountains, the eastern grasslands, and the southern edge of the forest. You are not permitted to venture into the core territories of any of the regions."

"Secondly, you may collect spiritual herbs, minerals and other resources, but the annual collection amount in each region shall not exceed 30% of the total amount, and you shall not damage the spiritual veins or water sources."

"Third, one must not hunt intelligent monsters without cause. If a battle is necessary, there must be a reason."

"Fourth, every three years you must report your actions and achievements to the Five-Party Covenant and accept supervision."

"Fifth, if the Spirit Soul Realm encounters external enemies or a major crisis, you must lend a helping hand and protect it together."

Five conditions, easier than expected!

Xiao Chuhuan nodded emphatically: "We accept these conditions!"

"So..."

The phoenix spreads its wings, and crimson flames are injected into the contract documents that condense in the air.

After the snow, ice runes condensed, the Stone Ancestor gathered rock imprints, the Thunder Beast King reluctantly infused lightning patterns, and the Tree Elder sprinkled green light of life.

The five forces converged, and the contract document shone brightly, transforming into streams of light that entered everyone's bodies.

The binding force forms deep within the soul.

"The contract is complete."

The old tree's voice echoed, "Outsider, welcome to the Spirit Realm."

The Thunder Beast King immediately jumped in front of Li Xiaoyao: "Kid! It's our turn! Let's go, let's fight now!"

Li Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.

Xiao Chuhuan whispered, "Brother Xiaoyao, be careful. It's even stronger than the Stone Ancestor."

"I know."

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, looked at the Thunder Beast King, and said, "Please."

Two figures soared into the sky, leaving long trails in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Li Xiaoyao's body was surrounded by red and blue spiritual light, and his two immortal foundations, [Xuanhuang Pass] and [Changsheng Palace], were operating simultaneously.

Although his strength was suppressed by 30% by the laws of the Spirit Soul Realm, the exquisite control of the new cultivator and the combination of dual attributes made his aura still as solid as a mountain.

A thousand feet away, the Thunder Beast King hovered in the air, its wings, crackling with lightning, flapping slowly, and electric snakes crawling on its bluish-purple scales.

Its golden vertical pupils blazed with fighting spirit: "Boy, let me see just how special those two auras of yours really are!"

Before the words were even finished, it struck first!

Without any fancy moves, he simply made a grasping motion with his right claw, and suddenly the thunderclouds in the sky gathered. A bolt of purple-gold lightning, about ten feet in diameter, tore through the sky and struck down!

Li Xiaoyao's pupils contracted, and he dared not take the hit head-on.

A flash of light appeared beneath his feet, and he moved a hundred feet to the side. At the same time, he formed hand seals, and the jade pendant at his waist lit up with a crimson light, forming a layer of fiery red light to protect his body.

"boom--!!!"

The lightning struck the sky, exploding into a shower of sparks, and the air itself seemed to ionize and emit a burnt smell.

As the aftershocks swept by, Li Xiaoyao's fiery red light shield trembled violently, yet remained firmly in place.

"You dodged pretty fast!"

Thunder Beast King grinned and flapped its wings fiercely!

Whoosh—!

Hundreds of fine electric snakes burst forth from its wings, covering an area of ​​three hundred feet in radius like a torrential rain!

Each bolt of lightning contains pure thunder power and moves at incredible speed, leaving no place to hide!

Li Xiaoyao's eyes sharpened, and he stopped dodging.

With a flick of his right hand, five crimson swords with flame patterns on their blades burst forth from the air, forming a sword array in mid-air!

"Five Flames Burning Sky Sword Formation, activate!"

Five flying swords were arranged in five directions, with their tips pointing inwards. Crimson flames rose from the swords and intertwined in the air to form a fiery domain.

The electric snake crashed into the flame field, touched the fire, and exploded with crackling sounds before annihilating each other.

"Oh? That's interesting!"

Thunder Beast King's interest grew even stronger. "Then let's try this!"

It roared to the sky, and lightning gathered wildly around its body, condensing into a giant lightning spear that was ten feet long, purple-gold in color, and with lightning patterns flowing on its surface!

The spear tip crackled with lightning, locking onto Li Xiaoyao!

Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat. The power of this lightning spear was definitely at the late Foundation Establishment stage! Taking it head-on would definitely cause injury!

His mind raced, and with a flick of his left hand, a crimson ring with what appeared to be flowing magma inside appeared in his palm—the Fire Ring of the Five Elements Ring Wheel!

"go!"

The fire ring flew out of his hand, growing larger with the wind until it reached a size of about ten feet. The ring itself was engulfed in raging flames and actively met the lightning spear!

At the same time, Li Xiaoyao flicked his hands, sending out dozens of talismans that transformed into golden shields, wooden walls, water curtains, earthen ramparts, and firebirds in the air, layer upon layer blocking his way!

The Thunder Spear and the Fire Ring were the first to collide!

Boom! ...

Amidst a deafening roar, the ring of fire trembled violently, its flames flickering erratically, before it was sent flying backward.

The lightning spear was also slightly blocked, and the lightning at its tip dimmed by three points, but it still pierced through the air and attacked!

Immediately afterwards, the defenses formed by the talismans shattered layer by layer!

Golden shields shattered, wooden walls burned, water curtains evaporated, earthen ramparts collapsed—the thunder spears swept through with unstoppable force!

In the end, only the flock of firebirds crashed head-on!

Phew——!

Dozens of birds made of flames cried out and fearlessly crashed into the thunder spears, exploding one after another into a rain of fire.

The lightning spear gradually slowed down amidst the successive explosions, and the lightning dimmed again.

When the last firebird exploded, the thunder spear was already ten feet in front of Li Xiaoyao!

Its power has been reduced to only 70%.

A glint flashed in Li Xiaoyao's eyes; this was the moment he had been waiting for!

"A Mirror of the Four Seasons!"

With a low shout, he unleashed his natal magic weapon! The ancient bronze mirror hung above his head, its surface shimmering and turning, its crimson and emerald light intertwining.

The mirror shone towards the Thunder Spear—

Om-!

Wherever the mirror's light touched, the flow of time around the Thunder Spear seemed to slow down by half a beat! Though it was only for a moment, it was enough!

Li Xiaoyao formed hand seals, and the [Xuanhuang Pass] Immortal Foundation was activated at full power, with blazing fire rising into the sky!

A crimson pass appeared behind him, and on the pass, the phantom of a golden-armored divine general could be seen faintly!

"Mysterious Emperor Suppresses Prison, Fiery Dragon Breaks!"

A giant dragon made entirely of crimson gold flames burst out of the pass. Its body was ten zhang long, with distinct scales and claws, and its eyes were as blazing as the sun!

The fiery dragon roared and charged straight at the lightning spear!

Fire and thunder collide in the sky!

boom--------!!!!

An indescribable roar echoed for miles around!

At the epicenter of the explosion, crimson flames and purple-gold lightning clashed, tore, and annihilated each other!

The shockwave spread out like a tangible object, crashing into the life barrier set up by the Tree Elder. The barrier fluctuated violently, rippling outwards!

On the platform below, everyone looked up to watch the battle, their faces turning pale.

"This power..."

Xiao Chuhuan murmured, "It's almost a full-force attack from the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

Xiao Mingshan and Xiao Minghai exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise: "The combined power of two immortal foundations can actually unleash such combat strength. This boy is extraordinary."

The Thunder Beast King was not angry but pleased to see his thunder spear blocked:

"Great! That's more like it!"

Its wings flapped again, and its body transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning, instantly traversing a thousand feet and rushing straight at Li Xiaoyao!

Its right claw extended, its tip gathering five extremely refined lightning blades that tore through the air!

Li Xiaoyao had just finished using the Fiery Dragon Strike and was slightly out of breath when he saw the Thunder Beast King rushing towards him. He hurriedly activated his magic boots and retreated rapidly.

At the same time, he patted his chest, and the fire-attribute armor lit up with crimson patterns, a layer of blazing armor covering his entire body.

Stab it--!

The lightning claws gripped the flaming armor, producing a sickeningly loud sound!

The armor was torn in three places, but the lightning claws were also scorched by the flames, and the electric light dimmed.
