At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu lay on the ground pretending to be dead, but he was never idle. He witnessed the entire massacre and secretly waited for his chance to strike.

The five demonic cultivators were filled with excitement, knowing that the opportunity would be fleeting.

Without daring to delay, they rushed towards the pool at top speed.

The group deliberately concealed their presence, trying not to make a sound, and silently approached the pool.

They were completely unaware of Ling Xiu's presence.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Ling Xiu silently conjured a lightning talisman in his palm, then flicked his wrist, sending the talisman hurtling towards the five demonic cultivators.

"Go to hell!"

Ling Xiu let out a cold snort and suddenly launched a surprise attack.

This Thunder Explosion Talisman, enhanced by the Qiankun Xuan Gourd, has long since transformed into a top-grade Thunder Explosion Talisman, possessing terrifying power!

Rumble!

A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted, violent lightning tore through the air, blazing fireballs spread wildly, and powerful energy fluctuations swept across the entire area.

The surrounding vegetation was blasted to pieces, and the entire valley trembled violently.

The commotion was clearly heard by all the disciples of the various forces outside the valley, and it also alerted the Golden Feather Demon Phoenix, who was chasing after the fleeing rogue cultivator.

It suddenly turned its head, its emerald green eyes contracting sharply.

"A cunning tactic—luring the tiger away from the mountain! How cunning the humans are!"

The Golden Feathered Demon Phoenix uttered broken human language, its heart burning with rage.

These few human black-clad ants dared to disturb the Immortal Spirit Rain Pool and cause such a shocking explosion!

This was not only a provocation, but also a great humiliation. It regretted its carelessness, realizing it had underestimated the cunning of the human race.

The demonic phoenix suddenly turned around, letting out a sharp cry. Its phoenix eyes surged with overwhelming killing intent, and it locked its fury on the five demonic cultivators.

"Who is it? Making such a commotion!"

The five demonic cultivators were stunned at the same time, their faces showing both shock and anger.

"Damn it! Someone actually plotted against us from behind!"

They instantly realized that there were survivors who hadn't quite died yet who had secretly plotted against them, and no one could suppress their anger.

But they had no time to think, as the Golden Feathered Phoenix, carrying a strong wind, charged towards them at full speed.

His body was covered in shimmering golden feathers, and a destructive golden ray tore through the sky, even splitting space itself.

The overwhelming killing intent that rushed towards them made their souls tremble.

"Quickly form a battle formation to block this demonic phoenix!"

The leader, a mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, roared in alarm, and the other four immediately understood.

The group quickly summoned their personal magical artifacts and hastily formed a formation.

A fierce battle erupted instantly between five True Condensation Realm demonic cultivators and a Profound Rank demonic beast!

However, the Golden Feathered Phoenix was extremely fast, with a huge body and scales as hard as steel. Its golden wings were comparable to fine iron armor, its claws were sharper than blades, and its sharp beak was a deadly weapon.

With a sudden flap of its wings, countless wind blades, carrying a chilling killing intent, swept across the heavens and earth!

Boom! Crack!

The hastily formed array by the demonic cultivators was no match for such a fierce attack and shattered in an instant.

With no other choice, the group quickly summoned the Demon Soul Banner and erected a Demon Shield to protect themselves, enduring the Golden Feather Demon Phoenix's deadly attack.

In an instant, a cold wind howled, and demonic energy surged and churned. A materialized demonic puppet took shape from the demonic energy and fearlessly pounced on the Golden Feathered Demon Phoenix.

The five of them unleashed all their life's demonic powers, unleashing a variety of insidious and vicious techniques.

The sounds of explosions, the furious cry of the demonic phoenix, and the roars of the demonic cultivators mingled together, echoing throughout the entire valley.

Ling Xiu did not rush to dive into the pool. Instead, he moved several corpses on the ground to cover himself and quietly hid to the side to observe.

"That was close. We almost exposed ourselves. I didn't expect these five demonic cultivators to be so powerful and coordinated. They even have a high-grade demonic artifact like the Demon Soul Banner."

"Even so, judging from the current situation, they won't last long. It would be best if they fought to the death."

Although the five demonic cultivators were quite skilled, they were at a disadvantage throughout the entire process, barely managing to hold on, and were nearly severely injured by the demonic phoenix several times.

The Golden-Feathered Demon Phoenix was incredibly fierce. As its golden wings fluttered, it continuously unleashed bolts of lightning, which struck the five people, causing them immense suffering.

Two of the demonic cultivators were unable to dodge in time and were instantly blown to pieces!

"Damn beast!"

The remaining three demonic cultivators were all injured. The demonic runes on the face of the leader, a mid-stage True Condensation cultivator, throbbed violently. He hurriedly took out a pitch-black demonic talisman from his Qiankun bag.

"Another magic talisman?"

Ling Xiu had previously witnessed Leng Xuan use a demonic talisman, which not only easily killed a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Qingyun Sect but also severely injured Yun Ziling. The demonic talisman in this cultivator's possession was even more superior, a top-grade one, and its power should not be underestimated.

"Nine Yin Demon Talisman!"

The moment the demonic talisman was unleashed, the entire area above the pool was shrouded in dark demonic mist, transforming into a dark barrier.

"Demon Sealing Annihilation!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The dark barrier not only firmly blocked the Golden Feather Demon Phoenix's attack, but within the barrier, countless demonic mists condensed into ferocious ghosts and demons, baring their fangs and claws as they frantically pounced on the Demon Phoenix.

"That's wonderful, Senior Brother! I never expected the Elder to bestow the Nine Yin Demon Talisman upon you!"

The remaining two demonic cultivators were overjoyed upon seeing this.

"This beast's strength far exceeded my expectations. My two junior brothers died tragically, so I had no choice but to use this item to kill it and extract its essence and demon soul to refine the Demon Soul Banner."

There was only one Nine Yin Demon Talisman, and it would be a waste to use it to deal with demonic beasts. However, there were only three people left. In order to save his life, this mid-stage True Condensation Demonic Cultivator had no choice but to accept the loss, and he was in great pain.

He frantically poured his magic power into the demonic runes while simultaneously locking the barrier tightly.

The dark barrier completely trapped the Golden Feathered Phoenix, which continuously emitted mournful cries within it.

Countless ghostly figures and demonic creatures fought fearlessly, tearing and biting wildly. The evil power continued to erode its demonic soul, and those ghostly figures were determined to enter its body and devour its original demonic soul.

Ow!Ow!

The Golden Feathered Phoenix cried out in pain, its movements becoming increasingly sluggish, and its massive body was covered with countless bloodstains.

The monster was solidified like a fleshy body, and its attacks were extremely ferocious.

"Let's attack together!"

Even though the demonic phoenix was surrounded, the three demonic cultivators still dared not be careless. They simultaneously activated their respective magical artifacts, and three fierce beams of light shot out, all striking the golden-feathered demonic phoenix.

Golden demon blood flowed continuously, and the demon phoenix paid a heavy price.

Before long, the Golden Feathered Phoenix could no longer withstand the layers of deadly attacks. Its massive body tilted and crashed into the blood-stained pool, splashing water everywhere.

The golden demon blood that flowed out was originally dazzling, but its light quickly dimmed after falling into the pool.

The demon phoenix struggled violently in the water for a few moments, then fell completely still.

"That beast... is finally dead!"

The mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator was panting heavily, his face pale, and his mana was almost completely depleted.

He was heartbroken that he had wasted a top-grade Nine Yin Demon Talisman in his efforts to kill this demonic phoenix.

He quickly came to his senses and hurriedly reminded the two people beside him.

"Quickly, seize the Immortal Rain Pool while we can!"

The commotion was too great just now. If we delay any longer, disciples from other factions will surely come running.

The three men's eyes were filled with intense greed, and they couldn't wait to move closer to the pool again.

A rich, warm, and ethereal mist constantly wafted from the bottom of the pool.

Beneath the pool lies another world, a natural stone cave about ten feet square, which is the Fairy Rain Pool.

Ling Xiu had previously explored the cave with his divine sense and found it filled with a refreshing crimson spiritual liquid, shimmering with light – this was immortal spiritual blood.

Refining just one drop can instantly heal all injuries and solidify one's cultivation foundation, allowing one to instantly return to peak condition.

Just as the three of them were filled with joy and rushed straight towards the Immortal Rain Pool,

An extremely sharp and terrifying killing intent suddenly swept towards the three of them!
