Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Xu Jun threw out a mid-grade spirit stone to charge the eighteen fire-patterned silver rings.

The [Sparkling Wilderness Array], empowered by a mid-grade spirit stone in an instant, became even more powerful.

The mid-Foundation Establishment stage centipede demon puppets that were besieging Xu Jun were trapped in the fire formation.

However, there were eight small centipedes surrounding him, and even if the [Sparkling Wilderness Formation] was strong, it would be difficult to completely wipe out these small centipede demon puppets of the same cultivation level.

Xu Jun could only try his best to hold on and then look for other methods.

Jiang Shi had already approached, with seven small centipede demon puppets following behind him. However, he did not choose to fight them, but instead kept dodging and moving.

Jiang Shi got closer and closer, until he was less than ten meters away from Xu Jun!

"You...!" Xu Jun also realized something was wrong at this moment!

Jiang Shi's deliberate approach, making no attempt to conceal his presence, is as clear as day.

Xu Jun was horrified. He knew Jiang Shi's strength all too well. The fact that Jiang Shi could break his formation meant that he was more dangerous to him than anyone else.

He quickly recalled the eighteen fire-patterned silver rings and formed a fire net in front of him for defense.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi did not make the first move, but instead used his spiritual sense to scan the area.

"He's trying to use his spiritual sense to probe my formation and find its core!"

Jiang Shi's spiritual consciousness left his body, immediately attracting Xu Jun's attention.

"No! I can't let him do that!" Xu Jun knew that if he allowed Jiang Shi to use his spiritual sense to investigate, he would probably not have a chance to survive. So he also sent his spiritual sense through his body to defend himself.

Jiang Shi and Xu Jun's spiritual consciousness collided.

Although Jiang Shi was only a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, his spiritual sense was extremely powerful, comparable to a late-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Xu Jun's spiritual sense collapsed the moment it touched Jiang Shi, and he was completely unable to stop Jiang Shi's investigation. He was directly overwhelmed!

"This is impossible! How can his spiritual sense be so powerful among those of the same realm!" Xu Jun's spiritual sense was defeated, his head was throbbing, his whole body was trembling, and even the array he was controlling was becoming unstable.

This is why, unless they can completely overwhelm the opponent's cultivation level, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators generally do not casually release their spiritual consciousness to participate in battle.

Jiang Shi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he gripped the top-grade magic weapon, Chixiao, and swung it repeatedly.

Eighteen crimson blade beams slashed forward, their trajectories like rainbows, connecting in mid-air to form a fiery net.

"Sparks Spread Like Wildfire"!

Jiang Shi used this crimson blade energy to replace the eighteen fire-patterned silver rings, forming an array, and charged towards Xu Jun!

Previously, Jiang Shi was only a Grand Cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Although he possessed profound magical power, he was still unable to accomplish such a feat.

Now that he has broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, his magical power is stronger than that of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In terms of sheer magical power, he might even be able to rival Wei Wushang.

Of course, she is still somewhat inferior to Biluo Valley Master Hua Luoyu, who can activate low-grade spiritual artifacts solely through her own magical power.

The formation composed of eighteen crimson sword blades easily broke Xu Jun's "Sparkling Wilderness Formation".

Jiang Shi used his spiritual sense to locate the core of the formation, making it easy to break the formation.

"He actually formed the 'Sparkling Wilderness Formation' using sword energy! Who is this person? What is his background? How could he possibly know our sect's secret formation!" Xu Jun's expression changed drastically, and his eyes revealed fear.

He was already wondering whether there was a traitor within the sect or a conspiracy by hostile forces.

But Xu Jun had no time to think, as Jiang Shi was already close by.

"Fellow Daoist, since you have learned the 'Sparkling Wildfire Formation,' then we are from the same school. Please show mercy and spare my senior brother's life... no, spare my junior brother's life!" Xu Jun hurriedly begged for mercy.

All his skills lie in this "Sparkling Wilderness Formation." If this formation is broken, he will have no means to fight back.

Jiang Shi looked at Xu Jun expressionlessly, opened his mouth and uttered a single word:

"Ah!"

A golden light shot out from Jiang Shi's mouth at great speed, piercing through Xu Jun's head and killing him on the spot.

With Xu Jun's death, the eighteen fire-patterned silver rings lost control and began to fall.

Jiang Shi waved his hand, and eighteen fire-patterned silver rings flew into the air and landed in his hand.

Jiang Shi's spiritual consciousness left his body and invaded the Fire Pattern Silver Ring, easily erasing all the spiritual imprints inside and leaving his own mark.

After finishing this task, Jiang Shi looked to the side and saw fifteen small centipede demon puppets rushing towards him one after another.

At this moment, only the small centipedes and Xu Jun's corpse remained. Ouyang Yu and Lu Chuanxing had already sensed that something was wrong and took advantage of Jiang Shi killing Xu Jun to escape quickly.

Although these two were of average strength, their escape methods were first-rate, thanks to the superior-grade magic artifacts, the Mountain and Sea Flag and the Listening Wind Intent.

Jiang Shi wanted to give chase, but it was too late.

"They escaped pretty quickly! But next time we meet, they won't get away so easily!" Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Both of them possessed extremely powerful high-grade magic weapons, and Jiang Shi was determined to obtain them!

Of course he wouldn't let those two get away with it!

Moreover, Jiang Shi's relationship with Qingyun Sect is not very good. Qingyun Sect is a powerful force that respects the scions of aristocratic families. If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind rubbing Qingyun Sect in the ground!

However, at this moment, they still need to deal with the fifteen small centipede demon puppets in front of them.

Eighteen silver rings with fire patterns floated in the air, and ten drops of magical liquid from Jiang Shi's body exploded and poured into them, providing energy for the magical artifact.

Eighteen silver rings with fire patterns transformed into shooting stars in the air, spitting out lines of fire that connected to form a giant flaming star disk.

It enveloped the fifteen small centipede demon puppets.

These small centipede demon puppets were split off from the centipede statue. Their defensive capabilities were astonishing. Even with repeated attacks using the "Sparkling Wilderness Formation," they could not be completely killed.

In this situation, it would be difficult for an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to deal with these small centipede demon puppets.

However, Jiang Shi was no ordinary cultivator. He had cultivated the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of Demonic Source" and was extremely familiar with these demonic puppets.

He knew very well the weaknesses of these little centipede demon puppets.

Jiang Shi activated the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source," and a demonic aura rose from his body.

Unlike the magical power in the dantian, this demonic energy originated from the sea of ​​consciousness.

There is a source of demonic energy there, which Jiang Shi refined through cultivating this technique. It can provide Jiang Shi with demonic energy.

Jiang Shi used demonic energy to sense the weaknesses within the little centipede demon puppet.

Jiang Shi quickly discovered the weakness; he opened his mouth:

"Ah!"

A beam of golden light shot out and entered the body of one of the small centipede demon puppets, instantly blasting it into pieces and destroying the demonic source inside it.

This Gengjin Divine Light is extremely powerful and is Jiang Shi's strongest offensive method at present.

The Metal element is primarily offensive! It's far stronger than the Wood element's Divine Light!

With this method, combined with the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source", Jiang Shi unleashed fifteen golden rays in succession, annihilating all of these small centipede demon puppets.
