Refining Demons to Become a Taoist: Refining 108,000 Insects at the Beginning.

Chapter 306 No Escape

Xiangyuan Zhenjun's expression finally changed!

Her fingers flew across the fingers as she chanted incantations, and in an instant, countless rays of light emanated from her body.

Numerous spiritual lights intertwined and merged, condensing into runes that protected True Lord Xiangyuan.

This supernatural power is in harmony with the true Dao, and it is the result of the full power of True Lord Xiangyuan's efforts, making its power extraordinary.

However, Chen Ming's supernatural powers were even more profound. His five-colored divine light hand paused and stopped grabbing.

Instead, it slammed down directly.

Although the talisman condensed by True Lord Xiangyuan was not shattered, it trembled violently and cracks appeared.

The five-colored divine hand transformed again, generating five divine flames, and struck down once more.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He struck three times in a row, each strike more ferocious than the last.

Xiangyuan Zhenjun's face was pale, and the talisman in front of her was already showing signs of shattering. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Lord Chen, wait!"

"I am willing to submit to you..."

Seeing that he was no match for Chen Ming, and that his divine powers would be broken, Xiangyuan Zhenjun feared that he would be in grave danger!
So she immediately yielded and showed weakness, resolving the current predicament first, and then slowly plotting later. After all, her strength lay in secretly taking action from the shadows.

"Oh?"

"Since True Lord Xiangyuan is so sincere, then I will spare you this time!"

Chen Ming raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"No! True Lord Xiangyuan is always cunning, we must not trust her!" True Lord Fa'e, who was hiding to the side, had been secretly watching the commotion.

Just as Chen Ming was about to subdue Xiang Yuan, he was about to let her go because she had shown weakness. The Punisher True Lord hurriedly tried to persuade him otherwise.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you let her go, she will definitely use insidious means to harm you once she recovers!"

"It would be better to destroy her physical body first, then suppress her true spirit and slowly erode it!"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Xiangyuan was furious:
"You wicked Punisher True Lord, how dare you bully me!"

"That Chen Zhenjun is ruthless, but he can't withstand my few soft words. Let me say a few more words to protect myself first, and I'll make you pay later!"

The more resentful Xiangyuan Zhenjun was in his heart, the more he lowered his posture on the surface.

Her tone was filled with sorrow: "How could someone like Chen Zhenjun hold a grudge against me? It was all my fault before."

"Having witnessed the divine might of True Lord Chen today, I am convinced and will follow him wholeheartedly and loyally from now on. What True Lord Chen said is absolutely impossible!"

"If True Lord Chen does not believe me, I am willing to swear an oath of the true way!"

"Who knows if you have the means to circumvent the oath of the true path!" said the Punisher True Lord coldly.

Xiangyuan Zhenjun's face turned even paler. She really did have a way to avoid it; it was a special talisman that she had unintentionally created.

They can substitute one thing for another, and even a true oath can be evaded.

She only managed to condense five talismans, and then she never managed to condense any more. With each one she used, one less remained.

No one knew that she possessed such talismans.

The True Lord of Punishment casually uttered a remark, yet it struck at her weak point.

Chen Ming observed the changes in Xiangyuan Zhenjun's expression and thoughts.

But Chen Ming remained unconcerned: "True Lord of Punishment need not worry. True Lord Xiangyuan has already said that she submits to me and is willing to make a true oath, which is enough to prove her sincerity."

A faint smile finally appeared on Xiangyuan Zhenjun's pale face as he said, "In that case, please, Chen Zhenjun, withdraw your supernatural powers!"

"Alright!"

Chen Ming responded, and the five-colored divine light hand, along with the five divine flames, disappeared.

Unable to persuade him, the True Lord of Punishment sighed inwardly and dared not speak again.

True Monarch Xiangyuan snorted coldly, made a hand seal, and the shattering protective talisman suddenly condensed into a ball, returning to its source and transforming into primordial energy, which she inhaled. Her face was no longer so pale, and some color returned.

"True Lord Chen, I now swear an oath of the true way!"

With utmost sincerity, True Lord Xiangyuan chanted incantations in a seemingly earnest manner, which indeed triggered extraordinary phenomena of the true Dao.

"Hmm, this isn't like her at all. Could it be that she's truly won over by Fellow Daoist Chen and sincerely bows down to him?"

Seeing this strange phenomenon, the Punisher True Lord found it unbelievable.

"Chen Zhenjun, see you another day!"

As the strange phenomenon grew stronger, True Lord Xiangyuan suddenly burst out laughing.

Her body radiated light, gradually merging with the wondrous phenomenon of the true Dao.

"not good!"

"She's using a secret technique to try and escape from the Yellow Springs Secret Realm!" True Lord Punishment warned Chen Ming.

Chen Ming smiled calmly and said, "How can we let her break her promise!"

"We've been waiting for her to escape!"

After saying that, Chen Ming pointed his finger, and the auspicious clouds of the heavens appeared, from which purple lightning descended and struck the true Dao phenomenon of True Lord Xiangyuan.

Then, countless rays of sunlight from the sun, moon, and stars condensed into divine water, which washed down.

Xiangyuan Zhenjun screamed in agony as his body shattered completely!

Only a trace of true spirit and true Dao intent remained, struggling to escape.

"True Lord Xiangyuan, I do not need your oath of faith, but lend me a hand!"

Amidst the auspicious clouds of the heavens, another beam of five-colored divine light descended and swept past.

In an instant, the true spirit of True Lord Xiangyuan vanished, leaving only the pure origin and the true meaning of the Dao. He was pulled into the auspicious clouds of the heavens, where he floated and sank among the myriad worlds.

"receive!"

Chen Ming gave a soft shout, and the auspicious clouds of the heavens slowly closed up like a scroll, disappearing behind him.

After absorbing the essence of Xiangyuan Zhenjun, Chen Ming's strength recovered even more, and his aura became increasingly mysterious and profound.

The True Lord of Punishment glanced at Chen Ming and saw the red lotus mark between his eyebrows flickering, which was extremely eerie, as if it contained great terror. This made him feel cold all over and immediately lower his eyes, not daring to look again.

Chen Ming didn't care. He withdrew the divine light between his brows, held the Five Qi Tree branch in his hand, and said, "Thank you, True Lord of Punishment for speaking up for justice. Otherwise, Xiang Yuan wouldn't have had time to escape."

The True Lord of Punishment gave a stiff smile.

Chen Ming's words were merely a polite remark; both men were fully aware of the truth.

But it is also a signal of goodwill.

Chen Ming devoured and refined four True Dao Realm True Monarchs in succession, right under the nose of the Punishment Evil True Monarch.

The True Lord of Punishment was naturally terrified, for this was truly a demonic technique!

That True Lord Xiangyuan is wicked, but he always uses his methods in the shadows, plotting slowly and deliberately.

However, Chen Ming's supernatural abilities were aboveboard and righteous, devouring and refining without any mercy.

Even though Chen Ming showed goodwill, the Punisher True Lord still dared not completely trust him and became increasingly wary.

Why is the True Lord of Punishment so wary of me?

“You and I are friends, not enemies. The Five Gods and the Four Officials, the two lineages, are already allies. You and I have come to this Yellow Springs Secret Realm together.”

"As long as you haven't betrayed me, why would I make things difficult for you?"

"Since entering this Yellow Springs Secret Realm, have you ever seen me intentionally harm anyone? It was only when they forced me that I retaliated?"

"Fellow Daoist, think about this carefully!"

After listening to Chen Ming's words, the True Lord of Punishment thought about it and realized it was true, and his expression softened a bit.
