Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 478: Strength Improvement
The Nine Spirits Demon Lord stood on a high platform, with a soaring demon behind him, shaped like a green bull with one foot in the air, jade-smooth and green, looming in the tide. He squinted his eyes slightly, sensing the endless sound of the formation's energy, his scarlet eyes were cold, and he said, "Your two fellow disciples did put in some effort, but it's wishful thinking to think of breaking the eye of the formation!"

The voice was low, majestic and solemn, like the mouth of an emperor, who was in absolute power and could determine the laws of the world with a single word. It was unstoppable and difficult to change.

The cave-heaven Dharma image opposite is a ten-thousand-foot-high pillar that supports the blue sky above and overlooks the dark water below. It is out of reach. Thunders are fierce and continuous. The dean of the Dou Lei Academy walks up with his hands behind his back, supporting the wind with a calm face.

The other party is a real demon lord, and has begun to trace back his blood essence and condense the body of a celestial demon. With a wave of his hand, his magical power can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split. He has incredible power. It is indeed difficult to deal with.

What's more, the opponent is protected by a large formation and is even stronger, but it is not easy to force him to retreat in a short period of time.

"but,"

The head of Dou Lei Academy had an icy look in his eyes. If he really risked his life, it would be possible with his strength, but the cost would be too great and unnecessary. It would be better to wait and see if the younger generation in the sect could break through.

After all, there are three demon lords guarding the main array, who have great magical powers and are difficult to break through. However, the demons guarding the six secondary arrays are only at the Nascent Soul level, and their strength fluctuates greatly.

In a corner of the formation, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, raised the frost wheel on the top of the door, decorated with six exquisite small wheels, and shot out bright white sword energy, which chopped the demon shadow covered by ice blue into powder. The debris of the collision scattered and fell to the ground in tiny pieces.

A faint light rises from the gourd that covers the sea and swallows the sky. There are three green leaves on the mouth of the gourd, as clear as newly carved jade, without any dust on it. It is moving slowly, and as it turns, there is a sound of the ebb and flow of the tide inside, surging and stirring, protecting the left and right sides.

After beheading the last demon shadow, Zhou Qing's spiritual consciousness moved, and he found that the jade talisman between his sleeves was shining brightly. The brilliant color almost penetrated through, forming a halo with every breath he took.

"Is this here?"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Qing was stunned at first, then he reacted. He glanced forward.

The next moment, the fog all around seemed to be cut in half, and strands of bright colors poured out from all directions, falling in star-like dots in front of a high platform.

An extremely tall banshee stood on it, with loose black hair mixed with a little silver, and holding a large banner in her hand, with a faint black light.

Zhou Qing first glanced at the other person, and his eyes were locked behind her. A whirlpool seemed to appear and disappear, and countless streams like swimming fish gathered together, silently, but at first glance, it seemed that one's consciousness would be sucked into it, unable to extricate oneself.

The jade talisman in his sleeve was sensing this vortex and its light was getting brighter and brighter. There was no doubt that this was the core of this dangerous formation.

"Secondary formation eye."

Zhou Qing looked towards the vortex, his eyes shining brightly. As long as he could stick the jade talisman into the vortex and hold on until the power of the jade talisman covered the entire vortex, he would be able to close the eye of the formation and break a corner of the vicious formation.

Zhou Qing's eyes turned, and a clanging sound of sword rang out from his body, showing a determination to win.

In his opinion, cultivators at the Cave Heaven level were too powerful, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time when fighting. However, a breakthrough would appear below the Cave Heaven level.

To break this vicious formation, the three Dongtian Zhenren had to restrain the three demon lords as a prerequisite, but the key to breaking the formation lay with himself and others.

He is the perfect candidate for this role!

"Zhou Qing!"

At this moment, the demon woman standing on the high platform stared at Zhou Qing and gave a light scold. The demonic energy behind her spread out, like a round jade, with a touch of blood in the middle, a scary red, like an inexplicable eye opened, and said, "Why don't you retreat quickly? Are you here to die?"

"ridiculous."

Hearing these words, Zhou Qing snorted coldly facing the banshee on the high platform. Immediately, golden lights flashed continuously under his feet and he rushed towards the banshee.

To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. If he could kill the banshee standing on the high platform, he could calmly arrange the jade talisman and seal the secondary formation eye.

As for the other party, his strength is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and more than one or two people have died at his hands!
“This magical power.”

Seeing the golden flashes that appeared and disappeared from time to time, with mysterious trajectories that far exceeded those of ordinary soul-fusion cultivators, even though the banshee had already estimated Zhou Qing's strength, she was still shocked when she suddenly saw such an incredibly sophisticated escape method.

Within the scope and amid the changes, even a person like her could not do better than the other party.

No wonder three demon commanders accidentally died at the hands of the other side when they came outside the Great Wall. It turns out that there is no false reputation. It seems very strange.

"but,"

The witch was not panicked. Seeing Zhou Qing had already pounced in front of her, a cold murderous intent hit her brows, like the lingering sound of thunder in the night, and it turned a creepy pale color. She waved the big banner in her hand, and a powerful force suddenly burst out and spread all around.

"Ok?"

The next moment, a look of confusion emerged on Zhou Qing's face, because in his spiritual sense, the other party disappeared all of a sudden. When he calmed down, he found that the banshee was still standing on the platform, as if she had not moved at all.

Zhou Qing stood there, looking up and down. The distance between himself and the opponent did not change. It was just like an illusion, but he knew that his escape technique was correct.

The other party should have mobilized the power of the formation around the center of the formation, causing the space to change.

"Zhou Qing."

The banshee stood on the high platform, sensing the slightly weaker power coming from the big banner, and there was a coldness in her slightly enchanting eyes. Such a reversal of the world and the movement of the gods did consume energy, but it could prevent the opponent from approaching her and the high platform.

The other party has been trying in vain, and once he gets angry and loses his composure, that would be great.

Anyway, the power of this formation will increase as the opponent enters. The longer the time is, the more powerful it will be. You can just slowly delay him.

"A large formation."

Zhou Qing tried twice more and found that it was the same as the first time. Under the influence of the formation, he could easily lose the opponent's position and could not lock the opponent with his spiritual sense. Even if his spiritual sense was much stronger than that of the Xuanmen monks at the same level, it still didn't work.

I caught a glimpse of the witch still standing on the high platform with a half-smile on her beautiful face, which was full of sarcasm, making people furious at the sight of her.

The other party is a great demon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. He would not be so superficial. This is intentional.

"You have planned everything, but you still missed one thing."

Zhou Qing lowered his eyelids and looked at the ripples in the water of the rare treasure Creation Green Pool. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and rushed towards the opponent for the fourth time.

"Obsessive."

The banshee paused slightly with the banner in her hand, making a slight sound, and the power of the formation burst out again, wrapping Zhou Qing and guiding him back to where he was. But the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on the banshee's jade face, because the other party did not lose his way under the power of the formation this time, but continued to move towards the platform where she was.

Although its speed was not fast, it was still moving steadily and heading straight towards him.

"what happened?"

The banshee's expression became serious, and she waved the banner again. The power of the formation went up a level, and the guiding force increased greatly, wanting Zhou Qing to continue circling in the same place.

"Still like that?"

Zhou Qing felt that the power of the formation around him was as substantial as a tidal wave, overwhelming him. Being in it was like an ordinary person encountering a wall of ghosts. However, he stared at the light of the other party in the water of the Green Pool of the strange treasure Creation, and followed the direction, moving forward step by step.

If a demon cultivator were to set up this formation, he would not know how to use it, and would probably have to use brute force to break it. Even if he broke the formation, the cost would still be huge. But the opponent happened to be a female demon, so it was time for the Green Pond to work wonders.

After meeting, use the Creation Green Pool to mark, so the opponent can be accurately locked even if he is thousands of miles away, let alone such a close distance.

Under the power of the Green Pool of Creation, the confusing effect of the formation is not great.

"How did Zhou Qing crack it?"

After trying a few more times, the banshee was certain that this one of the ten great disciples of the Zhenyi Sect in front of her did have the means to break the confusing power of the formation. She couldn't help but frown, unable to figure it out.

With her knowledge, she really couldn't imagine how the other party did it. It was simply like a fairy tale.

But even if she couldn't figure it out, one thing in front of her was that Zhou Qing was no longer confused by the power of the formation, and was approaching the platform step by step, approaching the center of the formation.

It seems that this time, the battle of wits is inevitable!

"Then let's fight."

After making the decision, the female demon no longer used the power of the banner to confuse Zhou Qing. Instead, she inserted it on the high platform, drawing the power of the banner to bless herself. Then the demonic energy on her body suddenly increased. With a light shout, stars hung down from all directions. She turned around with her tail, and the long tail shone in all directions. There was no light, but rather darkness, which was frightening.

The surroundings became deeper, and a star-like inexplicable object was guided by her. At first, it was just a tiny spot, and after a moment, it became extremely huge. With such a large size and an astonishing speed, it just broke through the air and ignited the surrounding Qi, forming circles, which looked very terrifying.

Then, the demonic energy added to it, making the big star's speed reach a new level, and it hit Zhou Qing with lightning speed.

This female demon looked slender and graceful, but she was a force of strength. Her body was much stronger than that of Nascent Soul cultivators at the same level. When she threw the "Star", her power was immense and her momentum was astonishing.

"Duh."

Faced with such an attack, Zhou Qing was not afraid. He let out a long roar, and the Dansha power in his body surged out, transforming into a giant hand that held up the sky. He went straight forward and confronted the enemy head-on.

The next moment, the "Star" smashed directly into the big hand, creating a shocking big hole in the palm of the hand. However, before the banshee could smile, a "sizzling" sound was heard around the big hole, and wisps of Dansha power surged out, covering the gap at an extremely fast speed and returning to normal.

In this way, the big hand recovered three or five times in succession, dissipating the power of the "star" thrown by the opponent.

Zhou Qing could not compare with his opponent in terms of actual strength, but he relied on his own first-grade Dansha power, which was endless and inexhaustible, and he could overcome hardness with softness.

"Let's see how long you can hold out."

Seeing this situation, the banshee was not in a hurry. She snorted and threw a punch from a distance. With just one punch, the entire space seemed to be condensed by her punch and became extremely thin.

Zhou Qing was standing opposite, with only one passage in front of him. It was a narrow road and there was no way to avoid it. So he didn't use any other method. He summoned the power of Dansha again, as soft as water, to dissolve the opponent's domineering punch that filled the world.

"This witch."

Zhou Qing resolved the opponent's two attacks in succession, narrowed his eyes, and found that the opponent was difficult to deal with. This method of restraining the attack can only be achieved after the strength and speed have reached a certain limit and broken the barrier.

In this regard, the three demon commander-level demons who died in his hands did not do it. But the demon girl in front of him, perhaps she had extraordinary blood in her body, was gifted, or she could use the power of the formation to do it.

"To consume?"

Faced with another punch, Zhou Qing's eyes showed a strange look. The opponent was fast and strong, so he could only use softness to overcome hardness.

It sounds good to say that the softness overcomes the hardness, but with the difference in strength and speed, it takes more effort and more work to wear it down. In such a situation, the consumption of Dansha power is amazing.

His own realm is already lower than the other party's. If he consumes too much Dansha power, the consequences will be disastrous.

The other party's vicious intentions are obvious.

"but,"

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed. He had not been idle since entering Luanyun Continent and had made considerable progress.

Originally, Zhou Qing should have rushed to the stage and should have been the main attacker, while the banshee should have guarded the platform and prevented Zhou Qing from getting close, and should have been the main defender. However, as the two had different thoughts, the situation became that the banshee was the main attacker, forcing Zhou Qing to respond and be on the defensive.

One of them was one of the ten great disciples of Zhenyi Sect, a peerless genius who had achieved the first-grade elixir, and the other was a great demon who was entrusted with an important task by the demon master and was stationed at the center of the formation. They were both powerful figures. This fight was really fierce to the extreme.

Looking from a distance, there were dark clouds and heavy black air in the original formation, but the residual force of the collision could be heard from time to time, as if a giant hammer was swung down to smash everything, revealing burning flames and crackling sounds.

Farther away, balls of light exploded one after another, colorful colors mixed with demonic energy and Dansha power, filling the air above and below, permeated with the power of destruction.

"Why is it so difficult?"

As time went by, the banshee threw another punch. She felt the demon blood in her body boiling and extremely hot. Two bright red spots appeared on her fair face, making her look three times more beautiful than usual.

This was not because she was going to use her charm, but because she was not perfect in her attack with the power she gathered. She did it on purpose, which consumed her demon body. The consumption was so great that the demon blood in her body could not be restored for a while, so this happened.

She is like this, so why are the Xuanmen disciples and Hepo cultivators opposite her still so energetic?
Zhou Qing was so perceptive that he had already noticed that the power of the banshee opposite him was no longer restrained, and his eyes lit up.

Thanks to that Sakura Goddess, he was able to push the three methods to the third level of Hepo at the same time, and his strength increased significantly compared to when he first entered Luanyun Continent.

Just like that, he not only withstood the opponent's all-out attack, but now he was switching from defense to offense.
