Yellow Court Daoist

"This is—"

Black light flickered, and the No-Life Hall Master saw in the blink of an eye, the mana of the Fiery Fire Wanderer's summoned Flame Demon God surged explosively. It had already reached the Core Formation level in an instant.

He focused his gaze for a moment.

From the launching of the Black Dog Nail to the Flame Demon God striking the sky, it all sounds like a long story, but in reality, it happened in just a blink.

Whoosh!

The Black Dog Nail streaked across the sky, its speed extremely fast.

The Zhu Rong Demon God had just landed, with surging mana, when the black light descended upon it.

"Roar!"

The Demon God roared up to the sky, fiercely striking out with a palm towards the black light.

Carrying rolling murderous winds, it slammed hard onto the Black Dog Nail.

"Ding ding ding!"

The sparks of blood-colored fire caused by the burst of black light off the Black Dog Nail tried to invade through the gaps in the Demon God's palm, corrupting and emitting a crisp sound like striking metal and stone. But around the body of Zhu Rong Demon God, a burst of fierce fire rose, the blazing flames unquenchable, burning away the blood-colored sparks.

The collision was only in an instant.

The next moment.

The Black Dog Nail flew back inverted.

As for the Zhu Rong Demon God, its demonic body was unscathed.

This is a thought-born demon from amongst the All Heavens Demon Gods, a demon among demons, its body's strength—how could it possibly be damaged by the trivial Black Dog Nail?! With the Dutian Fierce Fire and the Zhu Rong Divine Flame, it can surely shatter all the filthy and evil methods in the world.

Black Dog Nail!

It's met its nemesis.

The No-Life Hall Master reached out and seized the Black Dog Nail, noticing the dimming black light, a twitch of pain crossed the corner of his eye. In earlier years, as the 'Black Dog Venerate', he made his name with the magic artifact Black Dog Nail.

Crafting and refining magic artifacts is never easy, and the Black Dog Nail is no exception.

He had raised the Black Dog Nail to Fifth-Order, after who knows how much painstaking effort. This collision not only resulted in a futile return, but it also slightly damaged the artifact. Although the impact was minor, it would still require several months of refined cultivation to return to its pristine condition.

It was a considerable loss.

"What strong Demon Flame!"

"What a powerful demon body!"

Holding the Black Dog Nail and then looking towards the ferocious Demon God that stood across the sky, the No-Life Hall Master's black and white pupils shone briefly before he cupped his fists towards Lu Qingfeng and spoke, "This old man got excited upon seeing the hunt, I acted rashly, I shall definitely visit another day to apologize for my offense."

Unable to perceive Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level clearly, the No-Life Hall Master thought it was mere bluster, unable to contain himself, he had made a move. This attempt, however, made him recognize the prowess of this 'Fiery Fire Wanderer'.

Just the Demon God he summoned could match him blow for blow.

If there were other tricks up his sleeve, even though he himself had reserves, it's truly difficult to say who would be stronger... The No-Life Hall Master, backed by the White Bone Demon Sect, of course, would not fear Lu Qingfeng. Yet, such a powerful figure, he also did not wish to offend without good reason.

Thus, at this moment, he showed a smile as if the strike earlier had not come from his own hands.

"Indeed, a person of the Demon Dao."

Lu Qingfeng stood firmly on the ground, with the Zhu Rong Demon God's flames swirling around him, setting off his boundless demonic might.

Looking up at the No-Life Hall Master, his half-clear and handsome face emerged from beneath the black robe, he said lightly, "Your esteemed visit will be warmly welcome."

Hearing this, the No-Life Hall Master looked at Lu Qingfeng once more, cupped his hands, and without uttering another word, turned directly into a tunneling light and left.

The direction of his departure, however, was southeast.

"That direction—"

"Fire Spirit Shell Field?!"

Lu Qingfeng watched the tunneling light disappear and looked towards the southeast, his gaze intensifying.

By his side.

As the Zhu Rong Demon God holding the Dutian Xuanming Strategy approached Lu Qingfeng, with each step, its aura weakened a bit, until it stood before Lu Qingfeng, returning to the Foundation Establishment Qi Introduction level, matching Lu Qingfeng's cultivation.

Lu Qingfeng reached out to take the Dutian Xuanming Strategy, and the Zhu Rong Demon God continued forward, merging into Lu Qingfeng's body.

The demon's body, capable of infinite transformation.

Just now, the Zhu Rong Demon God gathered the power of the Daoist Soldiers from the Dutian Xuanming Strategy, bestowing the mighty energy upon itself, directly boosting its cultivation to the Void Core level for a brief moment.

That was another marvelous use of Daoist Soldiers.

Ordinary cultivators, even if they have a Daoist Soldier, apart from setting up arrays against enemies, at most could only borrow True Yuan Power to rise a few minor realms, leveraging power to increase the duration of combat.

But Lu Qingfeng, having cultivated the Yellow Robe True Skill, had a strong physique capable of enduring immense power. As long as the Daoist Soldier was sufficient, ascending to the Spirit Void or Void Core was a breeze.

The Zhu Rong Demon God was even the body of a Demon God, gathering the power from a Daoist Soldier, its potential was boundless.

As just now.

Thirty-six Spirit Void Peak realm Dutian Ghost Generals.

Three hundred sixty-five Foundation Establishment Peak realm Xuanming Yin Soldiers.

Made it possible for Zhu Rong Demon God to rise to the Void Core realm, directly contending with the No-Life Hall Master.

In the game, Lu Qingfeng once advanced to the Jiedan Realm, and he was crystal clear about the realms within, so there was no scenario where he had the power without the adequate realm to utilize it.

With a single move.

He immediately subdued the No-Life Hall Master.

But—

"Such combat really consumes too much."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, waved his hand and dropped five hundred Spirit Stones from the storage bag into the Dutian Creation Pool. With a thunderous operation, it transformed into rich Dutian energy.

In the Magic Artifact Space, the Ghost Generals and Yin Soldiers looked slightly wilted, their strength significantly drained. The original sparse Dutian energy, with the supplement of five hundred Spirit Stones, became slightly denser.

Once the Dutian energy filled the air, the Ghost Generals and Yin Soldiers rapidly refined and absorbed it, swiftly returning to their peak form.

The brief skirmish just now, with the No-Life Hall Master's high cultivation, required the Zhu Rong Demon God to contend by borrowing the power of the Ghost Generals and Yin Soldiers. The fundamental gap could only be made up by sheer force.

If Lu Qingfeng himself were in the Void Core realm, summoning the Zhu Rong Demon God without the need for Daoist Soldiers, without using any artifacts, and solely relying on his mysterious Cultivation Technique, he could easily suppress the No-Life Hall Master.

Being unrivaled in the same realm is not just an empty boast.

Of course.

Right now, while the power was there, the intricate details were worlds apart; he could only achieve so much.

With a quick estimation, including the previous accumulation of power and the last confrontation with the Black Dog Nail, it had consumed a couple of dozen Spirit Stones.

Truly, it was expensive to engage in magical combat.

"Raising Daoist Soldiers is enormously expensive, and now even combat consumes Spirit Stones."

"Spirit Stones still need to be accumulated, the more the better."

Ordinary people might feel powerless.

For Lu Qingfeng, the exorbitant profits from formulating Alcohol Liquid with Mingqing Spirit Water were enough for him to make a fortune.

Supporting combat with Spirit Stones, he was not averse to it.

Thus far, there had been two transactions with Feather Immortal Pavilion.

The first time was forty portions of Mingqing Spirit Water.

The second time was eighty portions.

The direct payment of Spirit Stones amounted to nine thousand six hundred, enough for Lu Qingfeng to squander for a good while. Even if he was at a temporary disadvantage in a fight against a Jiedan Real Man, he would not feel discouraged.

"The No-Life Hall Master of the White Bone Demon Sect has appeared here."

"The direction he's heading—"

"Fire Spirit Shell Field."

Lu Qingfeng put away the Dutian Xuanming Strategy with a flip of his hand, looked towards the southeast, pondered for a moment, then disappeared in a flash from Fiery Fire Island.

Lu Qingfeng vanished.

Instantly, in all directions of Fiery Fire Island, trails of energy emerged.

"So powerful!"

"Was that just now the No-Life Hall Master of the White Bone Demon Sect?! The Fiery Fire Wanderer was actually able to repel the No-Life Hall Master; this strength—"

"Too strong. The Fiery Fire Wanderer's strength is definitely above ordinary Void Core Real Persons. Since when did the Three Realms produce such a formidable figure!"

"Could it be that from now on, the Four Wanderers of the Three Realms have to be referred to as the Five Wanderers?"

The discussions and exclamations came from all around.

The Fiery Fire Wanderer's abrupt appearance, taking a central position in the Illusion Wave Sea, naturally attracted attention from all sides. Numerous cultivators gathered around Fiery Fire Island to gather intelligence.

Even spies from powers like Feather Immortal Pavilion were there.

Seeing the Fiery Fire Wanderer in the grand battle with the No-Life Hall Master, everyone was shocked. After Lu Qingfeng left, they dispersed, yet the news was quickly relayed back to their respective sects.

The reputation of the Fiery Fire Wanderer swiftly spread far and wide.

…

Three Mountains and Nine Waters, a region crisscrossed by water bodies, of which the Biyang Lake Territory was especially so.

With so many water bodies, countless places rich in Spiritual Charm and various mysterious races have emerged.

Shell Fields are among them.

Various types of shellfish living in waters rich with Spiritual Energy, passing down from one generation to the next, over time nurture pearls within that are far from ordinary, containing pure Spiritual Energy, and to a certain extent, even comparable to Spirit Stones.

The uses of various Spiritual Pearls are equivalent to Spirit Stones, aiding in cultivation. Whatever Spirit Stones can do, Spiritual Pearls are no worse.

Therefore.

Where there are spiritual shellfish that produce Spiritual Pearls, Shell Fields are tantamount to spirit stone veins.

Compared to natural spirit stone veins which are hard to control, Spiritual Pearls and spiritual shellfish can be artificially cultivated. Apart from the natural Shell Fields, in the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, there have also been several Immortal Sects and Great Sects that created postnatal Shell Fields out of nothing.

To the north of the Xuanyuan Realm, belonging to the Xuanyuan Sect, the Fire Spirit Shell Field is one such natural Shell Field.

Though it is in a water area, it is of fire attribute. Fire Spirit Shells contain Fire Spirit Shell Pearls, which greatly benefit cultivators practicing fire attribute Cultivation Techniques and spells.

They are much more sought-after than ordinary Spirit Stones and Spiritual Pearls.

Hence, the importance of the Fire Spirit Shell Field to the Xuanyuan Sect goes without saying.

On this day.

Outside the Fire Spirit Shell Field.

The No-Life Hall Master hurried over, crossing the Black Banner Array, and arrived before Han Ji.

"How is it?"

Han Ji, holding a large white hammer, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit, looked up at the No-Life Hall Master and asked.

"The strength of the Fiery Fire Wanderer is no less than mine. He is only indifferent to the conflict between the two sects, striving to stay disengaged," the No-Life Hall Master shook his head.

"No less than Hall Master Cha Shan?"

Han Ji's fighting spirit stalled for a moment, with a hint of surprise.

The No-Life Hall Master, known as the 'Black Dog Venerate', may not have a pleasant title, but relying on the White Bone Demon Sect Magic Door, along with his secret Black Dog Nail attacks, he is extremely difficult to deal with in the Void Core Realm. Even when encountering a Solid Pill Real Person, with the Black Dog Nail, they would still be wary of him, hesitant to press too hard.

It was already a high evaluation, a high degree of strength, for the No-Life Hall Master to concede 'no less than.'

"Indeed."

"Using the Black Dog Nail, I tested him. That man summoned a Demon God, with Demon Flames reaching the sky, directly repelling the Black Dog Nail. Its might and mystery, even surpassing the White Bone Demon God, is not to be underestimated."

The No-Life Hall Master recalled the three-zhang-tall Flame Demon God whose aura surged violently, his eyes reflecting a hint of seriousness.

"Unaffected by the Black Dog Nail?"

Han Ji was taken aback.

The Black Dog Nail in the hands of the No-Life Hall Master had the most formidable reputation; to withstand the Black Dog Nail, even if it was due to a counter-strategy, was definitely not something to be taken lightly.

After pondering for a moment, Han Ji shook his head, "Let's not worry about him for the moment. Let's take down the Fire Spirit Shell Field first."

"Do we act now?"

The No-Life Hall Master inquired.

"Act now!"

Han Ji nodded, struck the sky with his hammer, and leaped into the air.

Boom!

A blast resounded in the clear sky, with dark lights flickering and blossoming in the air, illuminating the area far and wide, clearly visible for tens of miles, even hundreds of miles away.

The next moment.

Han Ji soared at high speed, hammer in hand!

The No-Life Hall Master followed closely behind, with the Black Dog Nail in his grip. The dark light was dense, yet it bore a trace of illusion, a result of the earlier scorching by Dutian Fierce Fire.

Two demons stepped through the air.

Descending upon the Fire Spirit Shell Field!
