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

Chapter 24: The First Tribulation Ends, Godlike Evaluation!
Many people in the city also fell to the ground with screams of agony without warning.

The spiders hatch using human bodies as their vessel. Those who successfully hatched and the spiders that were not yet fully hatched burst through the human skin and emerged from the cavity.

The entire ancient city was plunged into panic.

Endless dark clouds enveloped the entire city, turning day into night.

Those searching the low hills above Luangu Temple, upon witnessing this scene, could easily understand that their home had been raided once again.

Having learned from their previous experience, the forces they left on the mountain this time were quite formidable, yet they still couldn't withstand the enemy's sneak attack. Now, seeing that terrifying demonic figure, the killers immediately felt a chill run down their spines. The momentum was so immense, yet why did they feel a sense of impending doom?
The fears soon became a reality.

At the darkest moment, thousands of auspicious rays appeared in the sky.

Endless Buddhist light surged from the Chaotic Ancient Golden Bowl, manifesting seventy-two Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and countless golden Arhat phantoms in the darkness. Countless gods and Buddhas chanted scriptures in unison, and the Chaotic Ancient Golden Bowl emitted countless rays of golden light, piercing through the chilling darkness and firmly binding the terrifying shadows that tried to break free.

Countless people in the city were moved to tears when they saw the sky filled with gods and Buddhas.

Bathed in the Buddha's light, the deep-seated memories of faith resurfaced. They remembered why the city was called Maha, the name of the continent, and the once glorious Buddhist world. One by one, they knelt down in devout worship.

The chanting grew louder and louder, resounding throughout the land.

Li Chunfeng was originally just an observer, but bathed in the golden light, the lost memories belonging to the little monk began to gradually become clear.

"Duzhu, you must remember this. Even if only one person remains in my Luangu Temple, we must never compromise with demons. The Buddhas of Luangu Temple throughout the ages are watching over us from heaven."

"Yes, Master, Duzhu has remembered."

"Duzhu, have you memorized this 'Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture'?"

"Master, the scriptures are too complicated. I just memorized them, but I forgot them again a little while later."

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now. The seed of the scriptures has already taken root deep in your soul. When you urgently need it, it will resurface in your memory."

"Master, we are Buddhist disciples, why do you still want me to memorize this demonic martial art?"

"This is not a demonic scripture, but the supreme martial arts classic that the most outstanding Buddha in the history of my Chaotic Ancient Temple comprehended when he attained enlightenment. It was obtained from defeat. The Buddha was extremely talented in his time, but he was repeatedly defeated in battles against the geniuses. After the most serious defeat, he almost destroyed the Chaotic Ancient Temple. Later, after experiencing countless defeats, the Buddha gave birth to a demonic fetus. He broke out of his cocoon and was reborn. The demonic fetus was perfected, and he defeated all his former opponents and stood alone at the top."

The ground within Li Chunfeng's inner world trembled violently as he desperately tried to memorize the contents of this cultivation technique.

Those golden celestial erosion patterns seemed to come alive, each one transforming into a human, unable to withstand his intense gaze, and gradually fading and disappearing.

When the last golden etched rune disappeared, he had only barely obtained the first three levels of the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture".

When he regained consciousness, the enormous demonic shadow in the sky had vanished.

The statues on the altar had crumbled into countless dust particles, which were completely dispersed into the world by the wind.

A voice from the heavens boomed in my mind.

[The Nine-Eyed Demon Spider's spacetime projection has been completely banished; all its descendants have gone out of control and become demonized, their power reduced by 50%!]

haha~
Li Chunfeng smiled.

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

Now it's the killers' faction's turn to play hide-and-seek.

However, just as they reached a conclusion, a gigantic demonic spider filled with hatred charged wildly up the mountain. It was none other than the Fear Demonic Spider, the demonized form of the Holy Priestess.

"Oh ho~ You dare to show your face in front of me!"

So they killed it.

This Holy Consort Spider possesses extraordinary regenerative abilities. It can also harness the power of fear; the more terrified its enemies, the stronger it becomes.

Once the opponent shows no fear, most of this talent is wasted.

Previously, it might have been the strongest in the Killer faction, but after its strength plummeted by 50%, it was completely crushed by Li Chunfeng.

Its body was shattered time and time again, and it recovered each time. Finally, Li Chunfeng pierced through its torso, dug out a demon core, and then it completely decayed.

"Arise, fight for me!"

Under the dark contract magic circle, another enormous skeletal spider stood up.

The remaining two killers lagged behind the Holy Consort. Upon witnessing the overwhelming battle from afar, they turned and fled without a second thought.

In Kill Mode, there is no mercy.

Failure to complete the mission means death; where can you escape to?

Li Chunfeng was unaware of the specific mission of the Killers' faction. They had previously successfully sacrificed a survivor, so perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

He would not be so soft-hearted as to give up halfway.

"Let's see how I find people."

The lamp manifested 1,080 clones, launching a massive, carpet-like search.

I thought we'd have to search for a while longer, but the enemy didn't even try to hide.

Before nightfall, he intercepted the two men in the city lord's mansion.

The entire city lord's mansion had been completely transformed into a paradise for the demonic spiders. Li Chunfeng surrounded the mansion completely and set it on fire. Thousands of soul fireballs rained down, and screams of agony filled the mansion.

Ignoring the fiery spiders that lunged at him, he strode forward through the building surrounded by raging flames. The flames, like ferocious goblins, drifted from all directions, and every now and then a tongue of fire would lick at him on the mountain wind, but all of them were repelled by his transparent psychic shield.

There is no way to avoid it; a battle is inevitable.

The Nine-Eyed Demon Spider was banished, but the price was enormous.

The two killers even lost the right to revert to human form, and could only fight in their demonic bodies. Fortunately, once the demonic spider bodies were freed from the suppression of the demons, they could finally gain complete control over them.

Strictly speaking, even if their strength drops by 50% at this moment, they still possess the strength of a high-level first rank, which may even surpass their cultivation level as cultivators. Moreover, they have now regrouped a large number of henchmen.

They still have the strength to fight.

After making a calm assessment, the two immediately commanded all the spider demons to surge forward.

Facing hordes of monsters, Li Chunfeng showed no fear, raised the Soul-Slaying Gun, and pulled the trigger.

Flames shot out in a continuous stream, and blood gushed from the chest of the obese, bloodthirsty spider.

This is the fat monk's demonic form. He's quite formidable; he withstood the gunfire and thrust out eight enormous spiderwebs, like eight long spears, covering all directions. This is his Eight Directions Spear Technique, a martial art he's painstakingly practiced, originally intended to be used during his tribulation. Unexpectedly, he's performing it in the body of a demon.

But this sure-fire strike was blocked by a skeletal spider of the same size.

"Kakaka~"

The remaining eight skeletal undead attacked simultaneously.

Of the ten bone spirits, three died, but two demonic spiders were added to fill the remaining spot.

With this, it completes the set.

Thus, a battle that was evenly matched turned into a one-sided massacre.

It gets a bit boring towards the end!

Outside the city lord's mansion, a fisherman clad in full armor, an old man guarding the ancestral hall, a dung-carrying old man with a moon-shadow demon cat perched on his shoulder, a constable who liked to dig up statues and glasses everywhere, and He Zenglong and Li Jieyu, who had just been rescued, all silently watched the city lord's mansion engulfed in flames, their expressions extremely complex.

This game was purely carried by the pros.

"Who exactly is this big shot? Do any of you know him?" the fisherman asked.

"I don't recognize it. I only remember that bone mask!"

Perhaps we will meet again in the future.

Not long.

[Killer Chen Jie is dead; only one killer remains!]

[Killer Jia Youwei is dead; Killer faction mission failed!]

After the final screams from the city lord's mansion subsided, Li Chunfeng already held five fixed-light mirrors in his hands, enabling him to control the remaining formation.

He hadn't forgotten that this was a fifth-order formation.

Even if it's incomplete, it's still a fifth-order item.

So he manipulated the grand formation and reopened the five city gates.

The survivors have won!

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Chunfeng harvested several demonic spider cores. After a while, wisps of mist rose in front of him, coalescing into characters he could understand.

[First Abyss Tribulation Assessment: Godlike!]

The evaluation of the Tribulation of the Realm Abyss is that there are no bad reviews, and the lowest is average.

If one fails to complete the tribulation, they cannot return.

All the reviews appearing online are categorized into six levels: "Average," "Good," "Excellent," "Outstanding," "Perfect," and "Superb!"

[Based on the tribulation evaluation, rewards are being calculated: You have obtained a Boundary Key!]

You have obtained one Talent Advancement Stone (Earth Rank)

[You have obtained one Demon Spider Core, containing the magic seed: Devour (Mystic Rank)]

You have obtained three Spell Advancement Stones (Mystic Rank)

You have obtained a Divine Soul Power-type Mana Seed (Mystic Rank)

[Settlement complete, exiting the Abyss!]

Before Li Chunfeng could even check his reward, a dark crack appeared behind him, and he uncontrollably fell into it.

……

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Wishing you good health, lots of red envelopes when visiting relatives, fewer drinks at the dinner table (unless your father-in-law offers you a toast), many wins at mahjong, and smooth sailing on your drives. Well, I've had too much to drink. Best wishes to everyone!
