Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 233 God descends to earth
With a casual toss, Xiao Changfeng sent the wooden flying sword, its entire body gleaming with a pale blue hue, plummeting straight into the depths of the third layer of ghostly blue flames.

"do not want!"

"Stop, you thief!"

Hei Yu and Yang Ding were shocked. They never expected that Xiao Changfeng would casually throw such a precious ancient magic weapon into the third layer of fire domain.

And it was thrown so far away, it's obvious they didn't intend to retrieve it.

The aura emanating from the deep blue flames in the three layers of the fire domain far surpasses that of the early stage of Core Formation. It is conservatively estimated that only a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, who mainly cultivates fire and earth attributes, could withstand it with a magic shield.

Even with fire-repelling treasures protecting them, the two of them had almost no hope.

"Old Hei, you lecher, you've put me in a difficult position. Didn't you tell me to throw it in?" Xiao Changfeng grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his face full of mockery.

"You..." Black Feather True Man almost vomited blood. He had spent several years chasing Xiao Changfeng, only to have his most precious high-level magic treasure thrown away like this.

"Old Hei, if you don't make a move, then..." Xiao Changfeng ignored his furious expression and took out another open stone jar from his storage bag.

Upon its appearance, it immediately emitted a refreshing aura, the very essence of the earth.

"Earth's Essence!"

It was a jar of ancient Core Formation treasure that Xiao Changfeng had accidentally obtained from those ruins.

Xiao Changfeng casually tossed the stone jar up and down in his hand, seemingly unconcerned, and occasionally glanced at the three layers of fire domain behind him.

"I'll only count to three."

"Wait!" Master Heiyu hurriedly stopped him.

Master Yangding instantly became alert and looked at Master Heiyu warily.

“Fellow Daoist Yang Ding, you don’t want those treasures to be thrown into the third layer of the fire domain, do you?” Hei Yu turned to look at True Person Yang Ding, slowly adjusting his breathing, while a jet-black soul banner appeared in his hand.

"No! Fellow Daoist Hei Yu, please don't fall for this scoundrel's trick. Even if you kill me, he won't give it to you." True Master Yang Ding retreated in fear.

"Don't blame me..." Black Feather True Man remained unmoved and walked step by step toward Yang Ding True Man.

"Shu~"

However, the moment his left foot landed, his right foot suddenly changed direction and shot towards Xiao Changfeng.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Xiao Changfeng, and at the same time, the soul banner in his hand burst out with an astonishing Yin Sha ghost mist that enveloped Xiao Changfeng.

As the dark mist descended, a giant hand arrived first, pressing down on Xiao Changfeng.

"You little beast, die!" the two shouted in unison.

Previously, Xiao Changfeng not only injured the two people with his Azure Flame, but also forced back the Extreme Flame around him. Now that Black Feather True Man has unexpectedly attacked him, he can reveal the full power of the Soul Banner.

"Heh~ I've been waiting for you for a long time, you old beast." Xiao Changfeng remained expressionless, even laughing more heartily, revealing a gilded fire gourd in his hand.

"Oh no!" Kuroba and his companion immediately realized something was wrong.

However, before they could react, the same dark blue flame erupted once again.

This time, they saw it clearly: the azure flames were erupting from the gilded fire gourd.

"what!"

"Little beast!"

The moment the Yin Sha Ghost Mist, imbued with the full power of a fake elixir, touched the Azure Flame, it surged violently like oil being boiled in a raging fire, emitting a mournful wail that seemed to come from hell.

Yang Ding Zhenren, already severely injured, was burned again by the azure flames after his attack, which cost him his life essence.

"Bang!" However, Xiao Changfeng was also hit by the backlash, flying back three zhang and almost being knocked into the third layer of the fire domain.

At the same time, a lot of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.

The gilded fire gourd also fell to the ground.

"This is the Seven Deadly Soul Banner that I have cherished for a hundred years! You little beast, I will refine all your blood relatives into Yin slaves." True Man Black Feather was also seriously injured this time, but he did not care about his physical condition at the first time. Instead, he looked at the Soul Banner in his hand, which was almost burned to ashes, and felt heartbroken.

"Fellow Daoist Hei Yu, he's out of options now, quickly subdue him!" Yang Ding Zhenren's other hand was also charred black, and his magical power was less than half of what it used to be.

Black Feather Master glanced at the gilded fire gourd on the ground, his eyes turning cold. Then, he closed his feather robe and once again rushed towards Xiao Changfeng.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Changfeng's smiling face finally revealed a hint of despair.

However, he still bit his tongue, squeezed out a drop of blood from his heart, forced himself to cheer up, and picked up the black longsword that once belonged to Jiang Yunzhou.

"Bang!" The black longsword, in its nascent form, collided with the feather robe of the Black Feather Immortal, but it could not withstand the impact for even a moment and was instantly knocked away.

Xiao Changfeng's chest was instantly slashed open by the feathered robe transforming into a blade, leaving a wound running from his collarbone to his lower back, with blood cascading down like a waterfall.

"Hmph! You little beast, have you run out of tricks?" Black Feather Master looked down at Xiao Changfeng from his high position, finally releasing the pent-up frustration he had accumulated over the past two years.

"Hahaha, you old beast, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve." Xiao Changfeng was clearly at his wit's end, but he didn't back down at all.

Unaffected by this, Black Feather Master adjusted his breathing slightly and went straight for Xiao Changfeng.

Seeing that Black Feather Master was about to capture him, Xiao Changfeng was truly desperate this time. He sighed and turned around with a look of unwillingness, about to rush into the third layer of the fire domain.

Seeing this, Master Heiyu was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted that this little beast had truly run out of tricks, but he was surprised that it was actually willing to perish together with the enemy.

"Hmph! You can't escape my grasp." In an instant, he unleashed his full speed, which he had been holding back.

They were about to capture Xiao Changfeng, who had already approached the third layer of the fire domain.

"Whoosh~" Suddenly, a flame the size of a fist separated from the bluish-purple flames beside him without warning and struck his face directly.

"You little beast, you have another treacherous scheme?" Black Feather Master was horrified. Having been tricked several times before, he instantly stopped in his tracks, his teeth clenched, and he did his best to protect himself.

However, despite having done its best, the current level of protection is only about 30% of what it used to be.

The sudden turn of events caused Xiao Changfeng, who was about to step into the third layer of the fire domain, to freeze in mid-air, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"This is..." He stared intently at the ball of flame, racking his brains but still couldn't figure out what it was.
"Could it really be as Brother Li said, that I am a chosen one, favored by the gods?"

"Whoo~"

Just as Black Feather Master was gripped by extreme terror, and just as Xiao Changfeng was filled with hope...

The small flame suddenly changed direction just before it was about to strike Black Feather Master's robe, disappearing into a ball of earth flames once more.

Xiao Changfeng: "..."

Black Feather Master: "..."

The two exchanged a strange look, then both looked at the ball of flame with puzzlement.

"It seems to possess sentience? What kind of divine being is it?"

"But why did you desert your post at the last minute?"

Although he wasn't sure what that small flame was, Xiao Changfeng was certain from its actions that it was trying to help him. With hope in his heart, he no longer desperately tried to kill himself on the third level of the Fire Domain.

Although Master Heiyu breathed a sigh of relief, he still couldn't gauge the power of the small flame and dared not make any further moves.

In an instant, the tense situation returned to a standoff.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Ji'an, who was rushing forward at high speed, finally felt relieved.

Seeing that Xiao Changfeng was indeed in despair, and that Black Feather Master was coming with great force, but he had not yet arrived, he had no choice but to let the little fire spirit, who had been lying in wait, take action.

However, Little Fire Spirit is currently only a second-tier early-stage Holy Spirit, which is equivalent to the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm of a human.

The only advantage of this fiery domain is the presence of earth flames, making it impossible for the opponent to discern its true nature. If one were to truly clash with Black Feather Immortal's feathered robes, the disguise would likely be exposed instantly.

At this moment, the other party, unable to discern the truth, will ultimately feel some apprehension.

This bought him some time.

After a moment of silence, Master Yangding couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Heiyu, don't be fooled by that little beast; it must be a trick."

Master Heiyu frowned and retorted, "In that case, I would like to ask you to make a move, fellow Daoist!"

"I..." Master Yangding gasped for breath, but swallowed it down.

He was already seriously injured, and even if Xiao Changfeng was captured, he still had to guard against Hei Yu's sneak attacks after obtaining the treasure.

"Hehe~ Two cowardly brats. You didn't even dare to attack me in my current state. You have truly disgraced the fake Core Formation cultivators of the Boundless Domain." The little hope that Xiao Changfeng had just begun to have faded away after the little fire spirit stopped responding.

Although he wasn't sure what the small flame was, he knew in his heart that it wasn't his doing.

However, he had no choice but to try anything, and his provocative words only made the other party more hesitant to act.

As he expected, Black Feather Master chose to ignore his provocation and became even more vigilant.

Xiao Changfeng was secretly delighted. He then sat down cross-legged in front of the two of them and openly took a pill to begin his recovery.

But he also knew that this was just a temporary measure, and the other party would definitely not give up. As for how long he could keep it a secret, he had no idea. He just hoped to recover as much as possible.

"Hmph! I don't believe you still have any trump cards up your sleeve!" Sure enough, in less than half an hour, True Man Black Feather couldn't wait any longer.

"Whoosh!" A white bone nail in his hand suddenly shot towards Xiao Changfeng.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Changfeng's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the ground flame where the small flame had disappeared.

"Bang!" But no more small flames appeared.

The bone nail struck Xiao Changfeng's protective shield without any obstruction.

Poor Xiao Changfeng had just recovered a little when his health was depleted again.

"Fellow Daoist Hei Yu, I knew that little beast was just using a trick." Master Yang Ding was overjoyed.

Master Heiyu also narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Xiao Changfeng.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" In the next moment, three more bone nails shot out.

Sensing the sharp, bloodthirsty aura, Xiao Changfeng gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist.

"Bang bang... Pfft!" However, after barely managing to block the first two, the last one still broke through his protective magic shield and pierced his shoulder blade.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Heiyu, it should have been done long ago." True Person Yangding was even more delighted upon seeing this.

Besides seeing through Xiao Changfeng's scheme, they also saw that after Black Feather True Man's white bone nails were activated, they were burned by the extreme flames of this place not long afterward.

He knew that True Immortal Black Feather only had five trump cards, the White Bone Nails, and that each White Bone Nail destroyed would cause a backlash.

For him, this was the best of both worlds.

Hei Yu Zhenren forcibly swallowed the mouthful of blood that had been swallowed back, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, another white bone nail appeared in his hand.

This is the last one, but it is also the final means to completely eliminate Xiao Changfeng and achieve our goal.

Xiao Changfeng endured the excruciating pain from the bone nails, his face filled with utter despair. He had just had a chance to break into the third level of the Fire Domain, and he would rather die than let the two demons succeed.

However, now, corroded by the insidious poison of the bone nails, it is impossible to move even an inch.

"Whoosh~" The last bone nail shot out.

Xiao Changfeng glanced in despair toward Cangyun Prefecture and murmured, "Brother Li, it seems I am not the chosen one you spoke of after all."

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Oh!"

However, just before he closed his eyes, a thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky, hitting the bone nail squarely.

"Huh?" Xiao Changfeng's eyes widened instantly.

"Pfft!" This time, the backlash against True Person Black Feather was even more severe. His dantian, which was nourishing the White Bone Nail, seemed to be bombarded by the power of thunder, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Who?" The three of them looked around almost simultaneously.

The next moment, a figure was already beside Xiao Changfeng.

"Brother Li!" The moment Xiao Changfeng recognized the figure, it was as if he had seen a god.

He never imagined that he would see Li Ji'an in such a desperate situation.

Moreover, Li Ji'an at this moment was completely different from his previous impression. He was no longer as low-key and simple as before, but rather quite mysterious. He was wearing a two-colored robe with ice and fire outlines, a wooden headband with millennia-old patterns, and his body was protected by a lava shield. He looked elegant and composed, with an intangible confidence.

"Calm your mind and recover quickly." Li Ji'an smiled slightly and handed him a high-grade healing pill.

"Hmm!" Xiao Changfeng took the pill, said no more, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Who are you?" The Black Feather True Man and Yang Ding True Man opposite him had grim expressions.

How could they not be surprised if someone suddenly appeared in such a place?

Although the opponent's aura was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage and his magical power was relatively weak, how could someone who could enter this place be ordinary?

They had already exhausted their trump cards with Xiao Changfeng, and now another person, whom Xiao Changfeng called "Big Brother," had appeared, which truly made them feel desperate.

Li Ji'an coldly watched the two people opposite him and sighed inwardly. The reason he dared to venture deep into this place to rescue Changfeng was because the little fire spirit accidentally sensed the faint change in Xiao Changfeng's aura at close range and knew that he was pretending to be unconscious.

It is speculated that they may have other countermeasures in mind.

With this discovery, he deduced that if Xiao Changfeng took the opportunity to injure the other party, or even just distracted them, and he then launched a sneak attack, he could not guarantee that he could kill the two of them, but rescuing Xiao Changfeng and escaping unscathed would not be difficult.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. He rushed to the scene, only to find that it was Xiao Changfeng's fatal moment.

Reluctantly, they had to abandon their plan to launch a sneak attack and instead focus on rescuing Xiao Changfeng first.

However, since both of them were already seriously injured by Xiao Changfeng, it wasn't a big problem.

"Our family is dedicated to eliminating demons and upholding justice!"

Before he finished speaking, two Thunderclap Talismans were activated.

Boom~
To their horror, two bolts of lightning struck them from the sky.

Click!

Already severely injured and being demonic cultivators who were all restrained by lightning, they had nowhere to hide in this place, and their protective magic shields would break at the slightest touch.

Master Yangding finally revealed his trump card for survival: a colorful umbrella made from a painting of a beautiful woman flew out from his dantian and withstood the heavenly lightning.

It seems that Master Heiyu has no more trump cards left and can only use his black feather robe to defend himself, which caused the robe to be damaged again, resulting in nearly half of his black feathers being blown off.

"Escape!" That was the only thought in their minds.

However, now that Li Ji'an has shown himself, how could he let them leave alive?

"Buzz~" The near-third-tier illusionary talisman nurtured within the dantian was activated silently...
