Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 207 (206): The True Dragon Descends
'Spatial Wormhole' is a first-tier Earthly Fiend Divine Power.

Long-distance activation and spatial transfer have significant side effects.

Li Chunfeng possesses a complete set of divine ability advancement stones, but currently has no intention of enhancing this divine ability.

Just enough.

Returning to the desolate region brought another wave of excruciating discomfort, like vomiting blood.

But this time, having learned from experience, the "continuous life force" helped it recover quickly.

A figure suddenly flew down to the low mountain; it was Qi Huaxuexia.

Seeing that the tribulation aura on Li Chunfeng's body had dissipated, it was clear that he had successfully overcome the tribulation. However, his soul exuded a chilling aura, which seemed to have transcended the realm of magic. This young man had obviously gained a great deal.

Her beautiful eyes gleamed with appreciation, and her languid voice rang out: "You're back!"

Li Chunfeng clasped his hands in a salute: "I have returned safely. Thank you for taking care of me during this time, teacher."

"Hmm. What's wrong with your divine sense? Why can't you control the chill?"

"Did the teacher notice?"

Li Chunfeng gave a wry smile, hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth.

"During this Abyss Tribulation, I encountered the ravages of the Frost Demons. Fortunately, I obtained a power of the Frost Law from a Demon King, but unfortunately, my strength is insufficient to refine this law. On the contrary, my soul is constantly being eroded by the law, and it is quite difficult for me to resist it now."

"The Law of Frost?!"

Qi Huaxuexia couldn't help but twitch her brows, and asked again uncertainly, "Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can comprehend and refine the power of the laws, and you now possess one? Is it just a trace, or a complete one?"

"...It is a complete law of power."

Qi Huaxuexia opened her mouth, feeling parched, and after a long while, she finally said, "This news is truly astonishing. Do you know what it means to possess a complete Law of Power? It's something called a Dao Fruit. If those old guys find out, I'm afraid they'll be breaking down their doors and risking everything to obtain it!"

Li Chunfeng asked calmly, "Then, teacher, do you need it?"

Qi Huaxuexia regained her composure. "I am of the water element, and the power of the ice law is very tempting to me. It's just a pity that I'm short of funds, and the Dao Fruit is too precious to exchange with you." She rubbed her temples. "I'll contact my main body and try my best to apply for a Divine Power Lock for you. However, the Divine Power Lock is very valuable, and it will definitely be deducted from your merits afterward. Moreover... it's not advisable to let too many people know that you possess a Dao Fruit. The Earthly Realm under the suppression of the Celestial Court is not monolithic; there are also evil cultivator alliances that secretly sacrifice people."

"Thank you, teacher." Li Chunfeng was overjoyed. Although he could still suppress the glacier for now, having such a time bomb in the interior was still a problem.

He wasn't foolish enough to sell the Dao Fruit.

"The resources you applied for before should be coming to fruition. Let me ask about them for you while I'm at it."

Li Chunfeng thanked them again, and the two dispelled the formation on the mountain and returned to the tribe.

Several days later, a portal to a volcano forest opened leisurely.

Li Chunfeng stepped out and looked at the mountains and forests to the side.

"Still not coming out?"

A ragged young man looked over with a bewildered expression. After their eyes met, he rushed out of a nearby cave with joy. "Big brother, you've finally come! Waaah, do you know how I've been these past few days?"

"Sir. What's your name?"

"Sir, Second Lieutenant Lin Shan reporting for duty. Sir, is there any food? Meat would be best! I haven't had meat in three months."

Li Chunfeng was speechless, but still tossed him a roasted animal leg, "How did you end up like this?"

Lin Shan devoured the beast leg, a blissful expression on his face. After a long while, he said, "Don't even mention it. The surrounding area is a strange forest, inhabited by a group of formless and eerie creatures that are terrifying. Moreover, this area has an innate bewildering array; it's easy to get in but difficult to get out. I haven't mastered the array technique, and I've been wandering around for days without finding my way out. I have no choice but to ask you for help."

Li Chunfeng glanced at the distant place where the malevolent aura was heavy, and handed him a pot of wine. "A strange place? Report on the situation here."

"Yes."

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Shan finally recovered some of his energy and reported to him everything he had seen and heard in this strange place.

Li Chunfeng frowned upon hearing this, "You wait here, I'll be right back."

"Sir, you're not going to explore some eerie place, are you? It's dangerous there!"

Ignoring his advice, Li Chunfeng sent a clone inside.

Soon, a river shrouded in mist appeared ahead, only about ten meters wide. The water was crystal clear, and one could easily see strange, eerie-looking fish swimming in it.

What's creepy is that this fish has two heads and four tails. It just looks a bit silly; it doesn't swim away when it sees people coming.

But as you get closer to the riverbank, you immediately feel a bone-chilling cold.

This chill was completely different from the cold of the Frost Demon; it was an extremely yin chill.

Li Chunfeng remained cautious, pointing a finger and sending a sword aura piercing the water. The two-headed monster fish was pierced through, but it didn't die. It only reacted after being attacked and struggled desperately, but it was too late. Li Chunfeng waved his hand and used a void handprint to lift it out of the water.

'Cunning'!
As soon as the probe's divine sense landed on the fish, the fish immediately burst out with a large mass of black lines.

The original solid fish had turned into a tangled mess of black lines, but it still retained the basic shape of a fish.

The blackfish vibrated at a high frequency, easily breaking free from Li Chunfeng's void handprint restraints. "Buzz!"

With that eerie tremor, darkness as thick as ink rushed towards Li Chunfeng.

Darkness descended, and Li Chunfeng was enveloped in it before he could even react. He felt as if he had lost control of his body; apart from his brain, which was still functioning, he had lost all feeling in his body, as if something was gnawing at him.

"Self-destruct!"

With a deafening roar, Li Chunfeng burst into flames, igniting a ball of black thread in the process.

Before long, not even bone fragments remained, leaving only a pool of ashes on the spot.

A beam of light emerged from the void, and another Li Chunfeng appeared, silently staring at the pile of ashes on the ground.

[The Threadfish: A dark creature, its body like a thread, formless and shapeless. Seeing it distorts perception; hearing its voice inflicts a curse; consuming it grants the user the rules of the curse. Capture it, and it defies definition; touch it, and it is like a phantom. It dwells in shadowy places.]

Li Chunfeng's heart stirred, recalling the other shore flower he had seen in Star Beast Canyon, and the secret recipe for [Starlight Cleansing Marrow].

The final ingredient needed is the worm.

Is there any connection between the elusive linefish and the elusive snail worm?

Recalling how his clone had been corrupted before he could even react, he frowned deeply.

Although the clone's strength was only 38% of the original's, it was indeed controlled by his Yin spirit just now. The clone didn't have time to react, and even if the original were right in front of him, it would have reacted the same way. Moreover, after being possessed, he used all his abilities to break free, but to no avail. His whole body was like being nailed to a coffin, completely immobile, and in the end, he could only self-destruct.

It really is a strange place!
He created a lantern-like clone and sent it to probe the dark river.

When the light of the Heart Lamp enveloped the dark river, the large fish beneath the water seemed greatly startled and darted away in a flash. The light of the Heart Lamp truly was the nemesis of creatures of darkness.

He secretly memorized the river's coordinates, not intending to explore the area immediately.

Now is the crucial moment for soul fusion and synthesis. It's not too late to make a decision after Burning Lamp has successfully advanced.

Turning around, he took the eager Lin Shan, opened the void portal, and returned to the Dragon Horn Tribe.

Over the next few days, he brought back ten explorers and settled them in the Dragonhorn tribe to help him develop and build the tribe.

With the addition of this new force, Li Chunfeng's workload decreased significantly.

These guys are all at the Divine Embryo Realm. The fact that they were chosen to participate in the exploration program means that they must have considerable strength and political background.

They had previously fallen into danger and, although rescued by Li Chunfeng, their evaluation of their mission was undoubtedly damaged, so they wanted to make amends. They were even more concerned about the development of the Dragon Horn Tribe than Li Chunfeng himself. Lin Shan and his companions even took the initiative to lead the tribe's totem warriors to hunt for more meat to prepare for the food shortage during the winter.

For a moment, both Jiao Xuan and Kai Xuan were both delighted and bewildered.

Previously, they had been unable to find a single sorcerer, but now, in a short period of time, they have recruited ten more wandering sorcerers.

When comparing before and after, the difference shouldn't be too large.

Jiao Xuan was initially wary of these new spirit shamans, but as time went on, he saw that they diligently completed their tasks every day and had a kind attitude. They even helped the tribespeople develop the tribe, and in some places, they were even more attentive than the tribespeople themselves. In many places, the tribespeople could not understand the wind shamans' construction intentions, but these spirit shamans understood them immediately and could do a good job without even consulting the wind shamans.

Jiao Xuan felt he was no match for such a talent; such a person would be treated as an honored guest in any tribe.

The small Dragon Horn tribe had nothing that others could covet... so they silently accepted them.

Several days later, news finally arrived from Qi Huaxuexia, who sent a message asking Li Chunfeng to go to Yuancheng to receive the items.

Li Chunfeng entered Yuancheng out of curiosity.

A tall, unfamiliar man walked towards us. "Major Li Chunfeng?"

"it's me!"

The man smiled amicably and saluted him. "Hello, Major Li. I am Gong Xi Enping, the military's contact person in Yuancheng. I am also a student at Kunlun Academy, an eighth-year student, a few years ahead of you."

Li Chunfeng returned the greeting and said with a smile, "It's actually my senior brother. It's a pleasure to meet you."

I also checked Gong Xienping's ranking on the robbery list.

Five hundred and twenty-three, not bad.

Indeed, there were quite a few people from the Celestial Court in Yuan City.

Gong Xienping said, "I am ashamed. Back then, when I was admitted to the Imperial Academy, I was very proud and considered myself a genius. But after entering Yuan City and exchanging skills with the top geniuses of the Three Realms, I realized that there are different levels of geniuses. Compared with Major Li, I am nothing. I am about to graduate and will be assigned to the military. In the future, I will be responsible for reporting information about the Spirit Realm to you."

"The military headquarters is a good place. Thank you for your hard work. I hope we can cooperate in the future." Li Chunfeng took the initiative to submit a friend request to him.

"Of course. I will forward your application materials to you now, and you can check and confirm them on the spot."

"it is good."

[Supernatural Lock: Can suppress and lock supernatural powers and laws.]

There are also 300 million upgraded Fish-Dragon Grass.

He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

"This is jointly sponsored by three major elixir companies. Here is a letter from the Supreme Elixir Company. Please accept it."

Li Chunfeng unfolded the sealed letter and read that he had originally cooperated with the Supreme Pill Dao Company to purchase Fish Dragon Grass. However, as he handed back a large number of Abyss Giant Monster materials, and the news that he had advanced to the Yin God Realm after only two years of study spread in a small circle, it also attracted the envy of the other two major Pill Dao Companies, who wanted to get a share of the pie.

Just then, he took the initiative to apply for assistance from the Celestial Court, and the Supreme Pill Dao Company provided 100 million Fish-Dragon Grasses to sponsor their own people.

This is no small amount, considering their daily expenses are also considerable.

Both Longhu Dandao Company and Zixiao Dandao Company also contributed 100 million units to sponsor him.

This shows that they are optimistic about his future and are building a good relationship in advance.

Li Chunfeng wasn't worried about not being able to repay the debt in the future; he needed more than just this much fish-dragon grass.

He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The items are correct."

After returning to the Spirit Realm, Li Chunfeng inquired about the usage of Qi Huaxuexia's Divine Lock and then activated it.

The magical lock immediately transformed into chains, trapping the glacier that stretched between several mountains within the small inner world.

Li Chunfeng's pressure was greatly reduced, and the glacier finally stopped eroding his soul, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this magical lock has a time limit; the longer it lasts, the less effective it becomes.

He also needs to start with himself and find a way to refine the Dao Fruit as soon as possible.

He then summoned Taiyi to continue his soul fusion journey.

Several days later, the largest batch of Fish-Dragon Grass was synthesized, and Taiyi's bloodline had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Taiyi: Demon Spirit, Dragon Fish

[Cultivation Level]: Demon General Level 10 (Fourth Tier)

"hold head high!"

A resounding dragon roar suddenly echoed from the mountain behind the Dragon Horn Tribe, reaching the entire tribe from near and far.

Taiyi soared into the air, and judging from its size, it seemed to have completely shed its dragon-fish form and transformed into a true dragon of sky blue color.

Dragons can be large or small, can rise or hide; when large, they stir up clouds and mist, when small, they conceal their form; when rising, they soar through the universe, when hiding, they lurk within the waves.

Now, the dragon lies dormant in the abyss, gathering its strength, waiting only for the winds and clouds to rise before it soars into the sky and reigns supreme over all.
