Chapter 103 Hunting, promoted to the fifth level of foundation building
A black-gray glow emerged from the body of the sloppy old man, and from this glow, boundless wild beasts were condensed, rushing up to eat people. Blood eats flesh and blood.
The wolf plague is already an extremely terrible disaster in the desert. Once a caravan encounters it, it will be difficult to escape.
But the wild beasts condensed by the sloppy old man's magic power are even more terrifying. Not only are they huge in number and fearless of life and death, but even if they are killed by the caravan monks with magic weapons, they will be killed again in the glow of the light the next moment. How can we not give birth to despair?
"Is this the Tao of the Immortal Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts!? We have offended the cultivator of the Immortal Palace!" Desperate cries came from the crowd.
"Shangxian, please stop. We are willing to sacrifice all the goods. We only ask the gods to spare our lives." Rong Lu, the leader of the caravan, was very decisive, even if losing all the goods would make his decades of hard work come to nothing. It's better than losing your life directly.
But the sloppy old man didn't care at all. He watched with a smile as the beasts he summoned devoured the creatures and grew ferocious. At the same time, with the death of each person, there would be a faint gray aura that could not be seen by the naked eye. , was sucked and rolled into his body.
Qin Wanning and Rong Lu's son Rong Yong were also struggling to use the magic weapon with all their strength. She used the sword light, and Rong Yong used the scimitar to fight with all their strength.
The light of the sword cuts vertically and horizontally, killing evil beasts.
But the magic power was not enough after all. Facing the offensive, Qin Wanning wanted to roll to avoid it, but the wild beast in front of her rushed at him too fast. Qin Wanning couldn't lift it up in one breath and stopped slumped, with despair on her pretty face. Reluctant look.
"Wan Ning!"
Rong Yong tried his best to rush over, but his father Rong Lu held his shoulders and dragged him back towards the caravan.
Rong Lu's judgment was correct. The only way to survive at this time was to hide among the crowd and find a glimmer of hope in the chaos.
Seeing as countless wild beasts pounced down, their fangs and claws flying, just as they were about to eat Qin Wanning's flesh and blood, a stream of light suddenly flashed.
The white-gold sword light passed by, and dozens of evil beasts in the surrounding area were cut into two pieces by the sword.
The speed and accuracy of the sword light are almost incredible!
"How is that possible?"
The sloppy old man was shocked when his magic power was running. The cruel pleasure on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely vigilant and solemn look.
He looked up suddenly and saw a young Taoist priest appearing in the mid-air. He was holding an animal skin scroll and looking at himself from time to time.
"Dugu Yuanyan, a disciple of the Gongbei Sect of the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts, you are not in the catastrophe of being lost, but your cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Therefore, you have practiced the secret method of Wandering Soul City and used the soul of the dead to forcibly improve your own strength. Skill.”
Monks who practice Taoism will inevitably fall into a bottleneck because of impure cultivation of magic power and obstruction of their own Taoist heart. Most of them are manifested in the inability to move forward with their magic power.
For the vast majority of monks, it is already very difficult to reach the ninth level of mana before their own vitality is reduced. If they fall into a bottleneck, it will take a few years, even ten or even decades. year, the road was completely ruined.
Especially for things like bottlenecks, it is difficult to say when they can be broken through and resolved. Some people recite Taoism, some refine their magic power, some fight in life and death with swords, some travel around, and some give guidance from their teachers. It all happens naturally. A breakthrough has been made. Some people have done all the above, but the bottleneck still exists and they will stay at this level for the rest of their lives.
In this situation, the more you have the heart to follow the path, the more torture you will feel, and because of the eagerness and anxiety in your heart, you will be even more unable to break through.
At this time, many desperate monks will turn to heretics:
Demonic sect, Buddhist sect, evil spirits, Gu magic, divine method, among these methods, there are methods of using strength to defeat skill and forcibly increase mana. This can be regarded as an alternative method of using stones from other mountains to attack jade.
Moreover, if you forcefully break through the past and reach a higher level, there may not be no way to go further in the future. Maybe the bottleneck can be broken through in the past.
But there are very few people like this. In most cases, they turn to heretics. In the end, the harm outweighs the good.
This is the case for Dugu Yuanyan, the sloppy old man in front of Lu Cheng. After being restricted by the bottleneck for many years, he did break through to the middle stage of foundation building by practicing the secret method of Wandering Soul City, and the more he killed people and captured souls, he fell into One's own mana, the more the mana increases.
But Beizong could not give up the lives of tens of thousands of people just for him. Therefore, he could only betray the sect and become a Jie Cultivator.
"Hey, headhunter? Are the monks of the sect almost dead now? They actually sent a little kid like you to die."
I used my spiritual sense to detect that Lu Cheng in front of me was also in the middle stage of foundation building, and his magic power was deep. Perhaps not even as good as himself, Dugu Yuanyan, who was already at the top of the sixth level of foundation building, suddenly used his magic power and suddenly pierced a long flag banner from his sleeve, a banner in which all beasts transformed into shapes.
Under the rolling black and gray light, the boundless wild beasts stepped on the light and rushed towards the Taoist in mid-air.
Dugu Yuanyan practiced two secret arts at the same time, and practiced killing people and seizing souls. Not to mention the monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he had killed all the monks in the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
If it weren’t for all the benefits, how could such a practice be banned repeatedly?
Although he was alert at this moment, he only thought that Lu Cheng was a fledgling headhunter.
"The Banner of the Transformation of Ten Thousand Beasts? I have one too."
Lu Cheng did not continue to use the flying sword, but changed his tactics and held a small weapon about three feet long in his left hand. As soon as the flag is waved, five-color mysterious clouds of brocade will appear around it, and the five elements will flow endlessly.
With the wave of his right hand, he summoned a long flag, a third-level high-grade beast-shaped flag, and injected mana into it. Five-color auras of green, red, white, yellow, and black flew around the flag, and then flew out one by one. fall.
Cyan turns into a group of blue lions, red turns into a group of red tigers, white turns into a group of white eagles, yellow turns into a group of yellow dogs, and black turns into a group of black elephants, they are all wailing. Roaring, they faced those wild beasts without fear, and the two sides fought fiercely.
The magic weapon given by Uncle Huang Longzi is of the highest quality. The beast-transformation banner in Lu Cheng's hand is not only powerful and of excellent quality, but also records countless beasts' spirits. It is itself a method of recording the beasts' incarnations. The Taoist Book of Palace Taoism.
In the future, if the inheritance of the Taoist lineage of the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts is cut off, and people in later generations will obtain this banner of the Incarnation of All Beasts thousands of years later, if they put enough effort and have enough talent, they will be able to understand the meaning of all the beasts from it. The superior way of the beast's incarnation palace.
But at this time, Lu Cheng used the five beasts to fight, but they couldn't stop Dugu Yuanyan's black cloud beast at all.
Dugu Yuanyan's evil beasts, either with tiger heads, leopard bodies and scorpion tails, or giant tigers with strong wings on their backs, completely combine the strengths of various beasts.
Compared with the ability to control beasts, Lu Cheng could not keep up with his opponent. Dugu Yuanyan also used various spells to bless his own herd of beasts, but Lu Cheng did not know any of these spells.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the five-color Xuangang flag is astonishing. Under the movement of the five-color brocade clouds around Lu City, it is like a slowly rotating steel-toothed iron grinder. Dugu Yuanyan's black cloud evil beast forcibly rushes in, and may even be crushed again. The vitality overflows in billows.
And when the monks in the caravan below saw that Lu Cheng was at a disadvantage, in order to save themselves, they also tried their best to use magical weapons to assist in the fight. Some even threw out magic weapons such as Tian Leizi and Fire Thunder Beads to save their lives. With the roar of the explosion, a large number of black evil beasts were cleared away, so that the beasts transformed by Lu Cheng with the energy of heaven and earth would not be killed quickly, and there would be no room for resistance.
“The Taoism of the Palace of Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts is quite interesting. It turns out that it is a way to understand and comprehend the spirituality of all beasts, reflect on oneself, and sublimate oneself.”
Standing in mid-air, five colors Within the protection of the Xuangang Flag, Lu Cheng leisurely grasped the talismans with both hands, while at the same time he carefully understood Dugu Yuanyan's beast-controlling methods and tactical routines. The best teaching is actual combat. In just this moment, Lu Cheng's understanding of this Tao surpassed that of many monks who had joined the Palace of Incarnations of Beasts and devoted themselves to studying for several years.
Of course, this is a gamble with your life. There are not many people in the world who really dare to take such a shortcut.
"Uncle Rong, look at the sky!"
Qin Wanning suddenly spoke up. Rong Lu, who was using his scimitar to kill the Black Cloud beast crazily, was stunned when he heard this and moved. He looked towards the sky behind the young Taoist.
I saw that the vast sea of clouds in the sky seemed to be affected by some kind of summons. I don’t know when it formed a slowly rotating vortex of clouds.
“What is that?”
Rong Yong asked in a low voice, but no one could answer him. Because with their knowledge, no one can know what kind of method this is.
But Dugu Yuanyan waved the spiritual flag in his hand, but was unable to attack it for a long time. For some reason, the fear in his heart became more and more intense.
This sense of fear forced his energy to focus almost entirely on the young Taoist opposite. It was obvious that his beast control skills were a mess, and he only relied on his excellent magical tools.
"Junior, are you the illegitimate son of an elder in the sect? The magical weapons are excellent, but unfortunately they are not worthy of the Taoist skills. Your beast-controlling skills make me really want to laugh!"
Lu Cheng listened to his sarcasm and ridicule, but his mind was as calm as water. After all, he was from an authentic Xuanmen background. Not to mention the rest, his Dingjing skills were infinitely better than those of the monks from the side sects of the demonic path. Even in When killing people.
Even if you chop off the enemy's head and brush away the blood, you still need to be calm, and your heart should still be as calm as water.
"Senior said that this is wrong and that is wrong. So, is this right?"
As he spoke, Lu Cheng gently waved the long flag in his hand, and the five colors flowed and danced, and finally the light group fell. Outside the defensive Jinyun, it turned into a pack of green, red, white, yellow and black wolves.
“Ouch!”
“Ouch! Ouch!”
The five colored wolves each have their own duties and characteristics. They work together and work together, and they can actually gradually resist Dugu Yuanyan's black cloud evil beasts. Although they are not fighting each other, they will not collapse at the first touch like they did in the first place. .
Among all the beasts, the one Lu Cheng is most familiar with is of course the nature of wolves and dogs. After all, I had been beaten so many times, and I was extremely familiar with its attack movements.
"..."
Dugu Yuanyan saw that Lu Cheng stood firm with the help of a powerful defensive weapon and the help of the juniors below, and actually made rapid progress.
I was speechless for a moment. Of course, he would not be really stupid enough to teach Lu Cheng how to control beasts, but secretly use the magic formula to promote his own magic power.
"Ahhhhhhhhh..."
As the magic formula was running, nine ghost faces appeared on Dugu Yuanyan's body and suddenly they let out a shrill scream, countless translucent The resentful souls spewed out from Guimian's mouth and swarmed into Dugu Yuanyan. Among the black cloud evil beasts condensed with power, it was like flames being poured into oil. The black cloud evil beasts changed rapidly, and their colors became darker and darker. They soon turned into thick black flames, and their whole bodies were twisted. The arrogant flames constantly transformed into wailing faces of resentful souls, and then disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Lu Cheng felt that the pressure faced by all the beasts had more than doubled in an instant, and all the beasts came down to kill them!
“Good means, good methods!” Lu Cheng sighed in his heart.
"Hahahahahahaha..."
Dugu Yuanyan practiced two schools of magic skills, so his thoughts were surly and his behavior was exaggerated, making him unable to control himself. At this moment, he used all his methods.
Watching his Black Cloud evil beast herd exterminate the beast herd in Lu City, biting onto the five-color Xuangang Brocade Cloud, biting and killing them, and even still had enough energy left to part off a part to kill Kill the group of caravan monks below who have been causing trouble for him.
At this time, Lu Cheng leisurely completed the magic formula in his hand: the Five Elements Mahamudra, and it was successful.
"I'm waiting for the ultimate move, are you waiting for death?"
As the magic formula was completed, he issued a palm, and the translucent fingerprints rose sharply as they came out of his hand. First, it flew upwards, rose to a high place, and grew to the size of several acres. It naturally guided the five elements of energy that had gathered around it to surge and fill it. Finally, it covered the sky and the earth, turned around and slammed down violently.
Since the beginning of the battle, Dugu Yuanyan, who had been pinned to a large part by Lu Cheng's sword intent, did not notice until this moment that a huge hand that covered the sky and earth appeared behind the young Taoist, aiming at him Shot down.
This palm gathers the energy and mana of the five elements from all four directions, which has exceeded the upper limit of the mana of a monk in the foundation-building realm.
Unstoppable, unmatchable, unavoidable, and certain death!
"Ahhhhh!" This time, it was Dugu Yuanyan who screamed himself.
Boom, boom.
Although he sacrificed his magic weapon and mobilized all his magic power to resist it, under the huge and terrifying blow of magic power, the defensive magic weapon shattered, the beasts' transformation flags broke, and his protective magic power disintegrated. Dugu Yuan was completely stunned. When a person faced the pressure of magical power and was about to be shattered to pieces, Lu Cheng suddenly dispersed the power of the Five Elements Palm in mid-air.
This made the pressure on Dugu Yuanyan suddenly lighten.
But the next moment the sword flashed, the young Taoist had appeared in front of Dugu Yuanyan, pressing his hand on the top of his head.
In the violent energy, the serious injury caused Dugu Yuanyan's head and body muscles to continuously undulate and twist, as if something was flowing rapidly and pouring into Lu Cheng's body.
A moment later, among the rolling yellow sand, the robe, broken flags, and Qiankun bag fell to the ground, leaving only a human body with broken skin, which was burned to death under the flickering firelight in Lu Cheng's hand. Fly ash.
This was the first time that Lu Cheng used the Heaven-Seizing and Spirit-Transforming Technique to devour and kill a monk whose magical power was higher than his own.
He could feel a huge amount of mana energy pouring into his body, saturating the meridians and muddying the mana. However, the five elements of the earth's true fire quickly surged up to burn and purify. How can everything in this world come from the five elements?
The five elements of the earth are the true fire, the foundation and peak of the tunnel, which can dissolve and dissolve all dharma in the world.
Theoretically, if left alone, Lu Cheng could quickly increase his own mana through this kind of killing and devouring, and push his mana to the top of the ninth level of foundation building.
But in that case, I am afraid it will take a hundred years for me to achieve success in Xuan Gong. Is it better to practice hard and increase my magic power bit by bit, or to swallow up the world and refine all kinds of magic? This is the biggest inner demon level that practitioners of this technique have to face.
