Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 34 Black Fire Five Elements Formation

The Demon-Binding Net could subdue demonic beasts. The python, bound, seemed to lose all its strength, collapsing limply to the ground. Thunder roared, and a finger struck the python's forehead, instantly shattering its iron-like scales.

Lei Ming extracted the giant python's essence blood. For demonic beasts below the Core Formation stage, essence blood is extremely important. After losing a drop of essence blood, the giant python seemed to lose its spirit all at once.

Lei Ming ignored all of that. He took out a drop of his heart's blood and fused it with the giant python's essence blood, then swallowed it.

"According to the Spirit Control Technique left by Wei Zhenlong, a very small part of the primordial spirit is contained in the essence blood of demonic beasts. Although this part of the primordial spirit leaves the body of the demonic beast, it is still connected with it."

Lei Ming used his own primordial spirit power to nurture the giant python's primordial spirit. After several days of effort, Lei Ming finally sensed an unfamiliar aura in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness—that was the giant python's primordial spirit.

Lei Ming took control of the giant python's primordial spirit, and the way the giant python looked at him immediately changed.

"It's done!"

Lei Ming happily released the demon-binding net, and the giant python slowly crawled to his side.

"Take me to your cave." Lei Ming knew that places inhabited by demonic beasts were usually rich in spiritual energy and would nurture spiritual creatures.

The giant python carried Leiming into the lake. Leiming was surprised to see the lake water naturally part when it met the giant python.

"This giant python is naturally able to control water; that could be considered a kind of magic." Lei Ming observed the giant python, sensing the changes in the spiritual energy around it, and quickly gained some understanding. He jumped off the python's body and into the lake, where the water parted in front of him.

"Let's call this spell the Water-Avoiding Technique." Lei Ming created a new spell, and some more patterns appeared on the Water-based Divine Light.

The giant python's cave is more than 200 meters below the lake, a place that even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot descend to. Lei Ming actually found something good in the cave.

"There are ice crystals here!" Lei Ming was overjoyed when he saw the ice crystals in the cave. Such water-attribute spiritual objects are very rare to see in the outside world.

After the Five Elements Pine Nuts devoured the Ice Crystal Stone, Lei Ming stood on the giant python's head and left the lake, continuing deeper into Hidden Dragon Ridge.

Jinlu stood at the edge of Hidden Dragon Ridge and released Dimo. Dimo ​​shook its head and tail, opened its third eye, and then rushed into Hidden Dragon Ridge.

Upon seeing this, Jin Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been searching for months, and today he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"Could it be that the people from Spirit Beast Mountain stole our treasures?" Jin Lu's expression changed uncertainly. After considering for a while, he followed Di Mo and entered Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Before a mountain peak as sharp as a sword, Lei Ming confronted a giant eagle. This giant eagle was extremely majestic; the feathers above its neck had turned golden yellow, and its wingspan was over 20 meters.

Lei Ming looked at the giant eagle with great admiration. He had already subdued four demonic beasts during this time, each at the peak of the fourth rank, but none of them held the same allure for him as this giant eagle.

Lei Ming couldn't resist getting closer, but the giant eagle, very cautious, immediately flew away. Lei Ming stopped, and the eagle stopped too.

The giant eagle sensed a strong threat from Lei Ming; if its young hadn't been in the nest, it would have flown away long ago.

Lei Ming was helpless; the giant eagle was too fast, and even his Demon-Binding Net was of no use.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Ming had an idea. He suddenly flew towards the giant eagle, which was immediately startled and fled. Lei Ming then retreated as well. Seeing this, the giant eagle flew back to its nest.

As soon as the giant eagle entered the nest, its feathers stood on end, and a red shadow darted out, spitting out a red beam of light at the giant eagle. The giant eagle emitted a golden light and confronted the red light.

"Demon-Binding Net!" Thunder roared again, and the Demon-Binding Net sealed the cave entrance, preventing the giant eagle from escaping.

"Five elemental spirit beasts, now it's done!" Lei Ming subdued the giant eagle. At this moment, besides his own primordial spirit, there were five faint primordial spirits in his spiritual sea, which were the five demonic beasts he had subdued.

Of the five demonic beasts that Lei Ming subdued, the Golden Crowned Eagle is of the metal element, the One-Horned Silver Moon Python is of the water element, the Wood Spirit is of the wood element, the Crimson Fire Toad is of the fire element, and the Earth-Splitting Armored Beast is of the earth element.

Five demonic beasts were already the limit of Lei Ming's primordial spirit.

"The five elemental beasts are now complete; we can attempt to deduce the Five Elements Formation!"

Jinlu rode the Dimo, galloping back and forth through Hidden Dragon Ridge. Hidden Dragon Ridge was teeming with creatures, concealing Leiming's aura. Even with Dimo's special talent, it was difficult for him to find Leiming in a short time.

After searching for several months, Jinlu landed on a mountain peak and prepared to rest for a while. He somewhat regretted taking on this mission.

"That little thief is too fast. When I find him, I'll break both his legs first," Jin Lu thought bitterly.

Suddenly, the tapir became excited and soared into the air from the mountain peak.

"We've found him!" Jinlu was overjoyed. He used his divine sense to search the surroundings and quickly detected fluctuations in spiritual energy.

"A formation!" Jinlu laughed when he saw Dimo's actions and the formation. He slapped his hand down, and a huge hand, several dozen feet in diameter, fell and slammed onto the formation.

Lei Ming was deducing the Five Elements Formation, the easiest formation to learn. He started with formations of a single attribute, and with the help of the Five Elements Pine Nuts, he quickly fused two attributes, then three...

Every time Lei Ming deduces a formation, he uses the Five Elements Spirit Beasts to practice. With the cooperation of the Five Elements Spirit Beasts, Lei Ming initially sets up the Five Elements Formation.

Just as Lei Ming was perfecting the Five Elements Formation, a powerful attack pressed down from above, shattering the formation he had just deduced. As soon as the Five Elements Formation broke, the five elemental beasts fell simultaneously, and the five flags fell from their bodies.

Lei Ming flicked his sleeve, put away the array flags, and looked up with a serious expression.

"A Core Formation cultivator!" Lei Ming had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, so anyone who could make him feel pressured was at least a Core Formation cultivator.

"You little thief, I've finally found you." Upon seeing Lei Ming, Jin Lu's expression was a mixture of annoyance and delight.

Lei Ming was taken aback. He looked at Jin Lu and felt that the aura on the other party was somewhat familiar.

"Are you from the Demon Flame Sect?" Lei Ming asked.

Jin Lu said, "It seems you are the one who stole my Demon Flame Sect's treasure vault. You really have a lot of nerve, but now you will pay the price."

Jin Lu pointed, and a cold black flame shot towards Lei Ming. Lei Ming frowned and gestured for the Crimson Fire Toad to step forward. The Crimson Fire Toad spat out a mouthful of red flame at the black flame, and the black and red flames intertwined before disappearing simultaneously.

"This little thing is no ordinary creature, able to withstand my demonic flames." Jinlu looked at the Crimson Fire Toad with delight in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of black fire, and the Crimson Fire Toad puffed out its cheeks to counterattack. The black and red flames crackled and popped, igniting the nearby trees.

"Good, good, good! I never expected that after finding this little thief today, I'd encounter such a strange beast." Jin Lu laughed, but suddenly his expression changed. "Wait, how do you know spirit control techniques!"

Lei Ming cursed inwardly. He had obtained this Spirit Control Technique from Wei Zhenlong, who was the young master of the Demon Flame Sect.

Upon seeing this, Jin Lu's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Once I capture you and search your soul, everything will become clear!"

Jinlu became serious, and the power of the black flames increased greatly. Not only did they trap the Crimson Fire Toad, but they also burned towards Leiming. Leiming hurriedly summoned the Dingyuan Bell, but the Dingyuan Bell was useless against the black flames.

A giant, seven-colored cauldron rose up behind Lei Ming, and to his surprise, the cauldron actually took away the black fire.

Jinlu stared angrily at the seven-colored cauldron: "How did the Seven-Colored King Cauldron end up in your hands?"

The Seven-Colored King Cauldron is a very special magical artifact of the Demon Flame Sect. Only the sect leader's lineage can master it, and it can restrain the Demon Flame.

Before Lei Ming could speak, Jin Lu produced a large black banner. With a wave of the banner, a vast black mist enveloped Lei Ming. The black mist seeped into Lei Ming's body through his seven orifices. Lei Ming hurriedly summoned the Seven-Colored King Cauldron, but even the Seven-Colored King Cauldron could not stop the black mist.

The Five Elements Divine Light flashed frequently, thus protecting Lei Ming.

"This can't go on. Once my magic power is exhausted, I'll surely die."

Lei Ming's heart stirred, and he summoned back the Crimson Fire Toad. The five elemental beasts surrounded him, instantly forming a Five Elements Array. The auras of the five beasts were connected, merging into one, and their power subtly broke through the Foundation Establishment stage.

"He actually used five spirit beasts to form an array!" Jin Lu exclaimed in surprise. Ordinary cultivators can only control one spirit beast of the same level, but Lei Ming can control five!

"This child harbors a great secret!"
