Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 30 A Tough Opponent

"Everyone be careful!" Wei Zhenlong's expression changed. A seven-colored cauldron appeared above him, and a seven-colored light shield descended from the cauldron, protecting him.

Now that Lei Ming had made his move, he no longer held back. The Five Elements Divine Light crisscrossed, and the black-robed cultivator's lamp disappeared, plunging the entire cave into darkness once more.

Wei Zhenlong was greatly alarmed and quickly lit another magic lamp, and the others also gathered around him. In the darkness, they could not find the direction of the thunder and were afraid of hurting their own people, so they were somewhat hesitant to act.

Lei Ming had no such concerns. He used the wind to pinpoint their location and continuously launched surprise attacks on the members of the Demon Flame Sect. The Five Elements Divine Light was best suited for group battles, and within a few breaths, only two or three members of the Demon Flame Sect remained. Those who were hit by the Five Elements Divine Light had their divine senses sealed and were then killed by Lei Ming.

"Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Mo, let's be careful of their magic!" Wei Zhenlong was shocked to see that only two people remained beside him. Fortunately, these two were the strongest among them, which reassured him somewhat.

"Young Master, the opponent possesses a strange spell. Be careful to protect your magical artifacts," said the black-robed cultivator. His magic lamp and the artifact that nurtured the ancient moth had been swept away by the thunder.

"We can use magic to block it," Senior Brother Wang said. As the Five Elements Divine Light swept over him, he immediately cast a talisman and simultaneously formed a Demon Fire Shield in front of him. Although the talisman was swept away and the Demon Fire Shield disappeared, it ultimately blocked the Five Elements Divine Light.

Wei Zhenlong was overjoyed: "It's good that he has a weakness! Let's capture him and force him to reveal the spell. If we obtain that spell, our Demon Flame Sect will immediately become the leader of the six demonic sects!"

Junior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Wang were also quite excited. They had already seen that Lei Ming's cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but with just one spell, he was able to kill more than ten stronger Foundation Establishment cultivators!

"Alright, Junior Brother Mo, cooperate with me!" Senior Brother Wang shouted and began chanting incantations. Junior Brother Mo opened his spirit beast pouch and released a giant ape covered in black fur.

Wei Zhenlong pointed his finger, and the seven-colored giant cauldron instantly doubled in size, protecting the three of them.

Lei Ming sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy and knew that the other party was preparing a powerful spell. He immediately released the Demon-Binding Net. As soon as the Demon-Binding Net appeared, it shone with golden light and easily suppressed the seven-colored giant cauldron.

"Not good!" Wei Zhenlong didn't expect Lei Ming to have such a powerful magic weapon. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood at the seven-colored giant cauldron. The cauldron, which was about to collapse, finally stabilized, but it couldn't hold on for long.

Wei Zhenlong patted his storage bag, and a talisman appeared in his hand. He poured his magic power into the talisman, and a black seal appeared. The seal rapidly grew larger, eventually becoming a ten-foot-wide seal, and hurtled towards Lei Ming like a shooting star.

"Amulet!"

Lei Ming quickly dodged, his straight sword flying out as he repeatedly slashed at the seal. But the seal was too powerful, knocking the straight sword away, smashing the Dingyuan Bell, and then falling towards Lei Ming's head.

"What an amazing talisman! The person who crafted this talisman must be a master in the Core Formation stage!" Lei Ming's expression was serious; this was the first time he had encountered such a powerful talisman.

Lei Ming guessed correctly. This talisman was specially crafted for Wei Zhenlong by his father, possessing one-tenth of the power of his magic weapon, which was already terrifying. A typical peak Foundation Establishment cultivator locked onto it would only face certain death.

Lei Ming dared not directly confront the seal, and continuously swiped the Five Elements Divine Light towards it. With each swirl of divine light, a flash of black light appeared on the seal, blocking the Five Elements Divine Light.

However, each time the Five Elements Divine Light swept over, the black light dimmed a little.

"Senior Brother Wang, hurry up!" Wei Zhenlong was also anxious because he didn't expect that even such a powerful talisman could not defeat Lei Ming.

"I need some more time," Senior Brother Wang said through gritted teeth.

Mo immediately commanded the giant ape that was blocking the three of them to fly towards Leiming. The giant ape did not know how to fly; it was Mo who gave it a flying talisman.

The giant ape approached Lei Ming and spat out a black liquid. A flash of water-based divine light swept the liquid away. Enraged, the giant ape swung its two long, powerful arms down at Lei Ming, who dodged. This giant ape was clearly a beast skilled in strength; Lei Ming saw no need to confront it head-on.

Lei Ming arrived behind the giant ape, and his golden divine light swept down, leaving a huge wound on the ape's back. The giant ape roared repeatedly, turned around, and pounced on Lei Ming. Lei Ming's blade flashed, severing one of the giant ape's arms.

"With the Golden Element Divine Light empowering the straight blade, its attack power has become even stronger!" Lei Ming saw the straight blade slice through the giant ape's arm as easily as cutting tofu, and he gained a new understanding of the application of the Five Elements power.

The next moment, a golden blade flashed, and the giant ape's enormous head fell off.

"Behold my Hundred-Eyed Demon Centipede!" Wei Zhenlong released a centipede that was ten feet long. The centipede had nearly a hundred eyes on its back. Wei Zhenlong bit his finger and used his blood to dab on the top of the centipede's head. The nearly one hundred eyes opened at the same time, and beams of golden light shot out like flying needles.

Lei Ming's Five Elements Divine Light swept across the area, immediately halting the golden light's advance. After several attempts, the golden light was completely extinguished, but Lei Ming was also finding it somewhat difficult.

The Five Elements Divine Light is Lei Ming's innate divine ability, but it consumes magical power. In Lei Ming's previous battles, as long as the Five Elements Divine Light was used, the battle would end quickly. But this time, his opponent was also very strong.

"I've already used up half my magic power, this is bad!"

Just then, Senior Brother Wang's eyes widened, and several beams of blood-red light flew out, landing around him. Then, the blood energy surged and merged into one, sealing off a space with a radius of ten feet.

"The Blood Flame Array!" Wei Zhenlong was overjoyed. "I didn't expect Senior Brother Wang to have reached the level of setting up arrays out of thin air. No wonder Father sent you!"

Senior Brother Wang also breathed a sigh of relief; setting up an array under these circumstances was indeed very difficult.

"He can't escape now," said Senior Brother Wang. "Once the Blood Flame Formation is activated, anyone below the Core Formation stage will surely die!"

"It's just a pity about that spell," Wei Zhenlong said regretfully. He no longer intended to capture Lei Ming alive. "And my Hundred-Eyed Demon Centipede, it consumed too much energy this time, and it will probably take more than ten years to recover."

Lei Ming found himself in a space filled with crimson flames, wreathed in terrifying malevolent energy, as if someone were wailing. The cries blended together, disturbing Lei Ming's peace of mind.

"The demonic path is the demonic path. Countless people have been killed to refine this array flag." Lei Ming was furious. He used his Fire Element Divine Light to continuously brush away the blood flames, extinguishing a patch each time. But within the array, the blood flames circulated endlessly, burning again as soon as they were extinguished.

"This blood flame seems rather unusual."

Lei Ming withdrew the Five Elements Divine Light and used his divine sense to communicate with the Five Elements Pine Nuts. An attraction force emanated from his dantian, forming a vortex in front of him. The vortex swept up the blood flames and devoured them.

"As expected, this blood flame was crafted from a fire-attribute spiritual material!"

The blood flames devoured by the Five Elements Pine Nuts did not regenerate; within a few breaths, all the blood flames within the formation were completely extinguished.

Outside the formation, the smile on Senior Brother Wang's face hadn't even faded before it froze.

A beam of red divine light swept across, and Senior Brother Wang vanished. The Five Elements Divine Light swept in again, and Junior Brother Mo was also captured, leaving only Wei Zhenlong.

"Fellow Daoist, I am the only son of the Demon Flame Sect Master, the young sect master of the Demon Flame Sect..." Wei Zhenlong realized that things were not going well and hurriedly shouted.

"Even if you are the Jade Emperor's only son, I will still kill you without hesitation." Thunderous voices came from all directions, the Five Elements Divine Light flowed, and the light of the Seven-Colored Cauldron was finally worn away. In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Binding Net wrapped around the Seven-Colored Cauldron and disappeared.

Wei Zhenlong was decisive; he gritted his teeth and transformed into a cloud of blood mist as he fled. Lei Ming sneered and used the Five Elements Escape Technique to chase after him into the distance.

After a while, Wei Zhenlong appeared outside the Earthly Fiend Cave. He was pale and had lost a lot of his essence and blood.

"You actually forced me to use Blood Escape! No matter who you are, I won't let you go. I'll torture you for three years, making you wish you were never born!" Wei Zhenlong said viciously, then took out his flying boat, preparing to escape.

"You probably won't have that chance." Lei Ming appeared behind Wei Zhenlong. Wei Zhenlong was terrified. When he saw the crimson divine light sweeping towards him, his eyes turned mad. Golden flames surged from his body, as he wanted to perish together with Lei Ming.

"It's no use. Your flames can counter my Earthly Fiend Golden Body, but they are also countered by the Fire Element Divine Light..." Lei Ming shook his head and killed Wei Zhenlong.

After killing Wei Zhenlong, Lei Ming took his storage bag and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were quite a few good things in it!
