Immortal Refiner

As the Myriad Flames Burning Heaven Formation was activated, the armor on the bronze giant's body peeled off layer by layer, falling to the ground.

Just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, the bronze giant suddenly knelt down on one knee.

Bang!

The earth trembled violently, and the wooden puppets under its feet instantly shattered and were annihilated, unable to withstand even a moment.

Soon, patterns spread out from its body, and the spiritual flames attached to the bronze giant were absorbed completely, like a clay ox entering the sea.

"Not good, stop attacking!" Red Yaksha shouted repeatedly.

Li Qing naturally stopped urging the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flames at the first moment. Looking at the patterns rising on the bronze giant's body, he suddenly remembered that when he was mining the bronze stone before, some of the spiritual power of the spells would flow underground.

Realizing something was wrong, Li Qing immediately shouted: "Be careful! This giant can absorb spiritual power, don't attack with spells or supernatural powers anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a slight tingling in their scalps. If this was the case, then this battle would be a little difficult.

It could only be said that a powerful bronze puppet comparable to the Integration Stage was not so easy to deal with.

"Everyone, scatter!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Instantly, everyone moved away from the bronze giant, not daring to approach.

Clang!

Accompanied by a dull vibration, the bronze giant actually clasped its hands together, forming a mysterious magic seal.

Rumble!

Clusters of fiery flames erupted from its body. In an instant, the entire bronze ruins were rained with fire.

It was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flames it had absorbed just now, and now it was released intact.

Extremely hot flames fell from the sky, and everyone present retreated one after another. Just now, they had all seen with their own eyes how terrifying the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flames urged by Li Qing were, and no one dared to touch them with their physical bodies.

Li Qing took a step forward, opened his mouth, and tried his best to swallow the flames falling from the sky.

When the others saw this, they all leaned towards Li Qing's side.

"What should we do? Spells and supernatural powers can't do anything to this bronze giant. Are we going to give up here?" The werewolf clan transformed back into human form, and asked with a rather ugly expression.

There was no time for them to think of a countermeasure, because the bronze giant slowly loosened its hands, picked up the bronze spear on the ground, and once again locked onto the few of them.

The pale-faced puppeteer youth showed a look of contemplation, and soon he said:

"This Tier 7 puppet should have two forms. When it was wearing bronze armor just now, it should have represented a state of invulnerability."

"After the armor falls off, it represents a form that is immune to spells and supernatural powers, and can even absorb mana."

Before he could finish speaking, the bronze giant threw a bronze spear towards the place where they were gathered.

The air made a popping sound, and the terrifying spear almost pierced through space, and the speed was extremely fast.

When everyone saw this, they all used their own methods and scattered in all directions at the first moment.

Boom!

Most of the thick bronze spear was poured into the ground, and a shock wave with extremely powerful impact spread out. Those who were slower were impacted by the aftermath.

"Cough cough cough!" The puppeteer youth walked the slowest and almost suffered internal injuries from the aftermath.

"This kind of puppet has two weaknesses. Either attack it directly with a powerful spiritual treasure to completely destroy its puppet body, or exhaust the spiritual power it has absorbed. The reason why it can move freely at this time is because of the spiritual power it absorbed before!"

"There is also a third method, but I do not recommend using it, that is to continue to pour spiritual power into this puppet and directly explode it!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bronze giant ran quickly. It picked up the bronze spear inserted on the ground and directly locked onto the hot-bodied crossbow-wielding woman.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several sharp crossbow arrows shot out again, but this time they were no longer as futile as before. These crossbow arrows actually pierced into the body of the bronze giant.

"It really works, attack with spiritual treasures!" The woman said in surprise.

The bronze giant swept a spear towards her. As the air vibrated, its momentum was terrifying.

"Awoo!"

The Void Refinement Stage werewolf transformed into a giant wolf with a silver-gray body and rushed out quickly.

Swish swish!

Several deep claw marks instantly appeared on the back of the bronze giant. Without the armor, its defense had indeed dropped a lot.

"Cut off its feet first!" Red Yaksha roared in a low voice, and drew an dark red bone from his body, as if it had been soaked in blood for many years.

Clang!

This was a bone chainsaw sword, and the blades on it were extremely sharp, looking very creepy.

Red Yaksha crawled on the ground, moving extremely fast and agile. He took the blood bone chainsaw sword and slashed it directly at the bronze giant's ankle.

Accompanied by a piercing sound, a large amount of bronze powder fell from the bronze giant's ankle, and there was an extremely deep saw mark on it.

Seeing this scene, everyone focused their attacks on its ankle.

Crossbow arrows pierced through the air, wolf claws slashed fiercely, and chainsaw swords cut. In just a short while, the right foot of the bronze giant was damaged beyond recognition.

Thump!

Finally, accompanied by a loud noise, the bronze giant fell down.

Seeing this, Li Qing also sacrificed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword at the first moment.

An extremely sharp golden light flashed in the air, and the body of the bronze giant was directly cut with a sword mark, extending from its chest to its chest.

Through this sword mark, you could see the scattered green light inside its body.

"Good opportunity!"

The puppeteer youth's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted the storage bag on his waist.

A puppet that looked like a Sky Falcon swept out quickly. It was not large, but it was fast. In the blink of an eye, it drilled into the wound that Li Qing had cut out.

The bronze giant struggled to get up, with one hand supporting the ground, and the other hand constantly waving the bronze spear, sweeping the surrounding space.

But soon, its movements stopped abruptly, and the spiritual light on its body immediately went out.

Bang!

The bronze giant fell again, but this time it could no longer get up.

The Sky Falcon puppet had flown out, carrying a puppet core that was several times larger than its body.

"Is it over . We actually won against this Integration Stage puppet."

"No problem, this human contributed the most this time. Luring the bronze giant statue out was also thanks to him and me."

The woman with the crossbow also nodded and said, "I have no objections either. Giving me a leg and an arm is enough."

Seeing that the others had no objections, Li Qing didn't hesitate. He activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and directly slashed at the bronze giant statue lying on the ground.

Buzz!

A sharp sword light flashed, and the head of the bronze giant statue separated from its neck.

Seeing this scene, the werewolf's pupils suddenly shrank, and all the previous dissatisfaction vanished.

He didn't say anything, acquiescing to Li Qing's gains.

Among the werewolves, only the strong are qualified to be loners. Such beings are often leaders, or lone wolves capable of acting independently.

Li Qing's sword just now was enough to make him swallow all his dissatisfaction.

"Then I'll take the scattered bronze armor and the body of the giant statue. How about you two split the remaining limbs?" the red-skinned Yaksha said again.

The remaining crossbow-wielding woman and the werewolf would each get a leg and an arm.

"Okay!" The silver-haired werewolf nodded, also approving of this distribution.

This Yaksha's strength was very strong, and he contributed much more than him.

"Hey, hey, hey, human brother over there, help me chop a few more times." The red-skinned Yaksha looked at Li Qing with interest. It was indeed rare to see such a powerful human.

He had the bloodline of the Sky Slaughtering Yaksha flowing in his veins, and his realm was also higher than Li Qing's, but at this moment, he didn't dare to say that he could defeat Li Qing.

Li Qing didn't hesitate and activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword again. With a few slashes, the remaining limbs were separated from the body.

After completing all of this, he walked straight towards the bronze altar in the ruins.

Li Qing didn't sacrifice all of his gains this time at once. Instead, he first placed all the bronze objects on his body on it.

Rumble!

A stream of pure spiritual power poured into his body. He didn't even need to refine it much, and this spiritual power transformed into his cultivation.

However, for the sake of stability, Li Qing still voluntarily circulated his cultivation technique, refining all of this spiritual power.

The red Yaksha opened his mouth at the right time and said:

"It's best not to directly use this kind of cultivation improved by external forces to break through the original realm, otherwise, you will encounter an extremely thick bottleneck when breaking through the realm in the future."

Li Qing, who was closing his eyes to refine his mana, said calmly, "I know what I'm doing."

Saying that, he placed the bronze head and helmet next to the altar again.

This time, the spiritual power that surged out was even more majestic, pouring into Li Qing's body in one breath.

He gritted his teeth, using the four types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Flames to assist in refining this external spiritual power, and the Five Elements Spiritual Roots in his body also intertwined into a Five Elements vortex.

In this way, the immense and pure spiritual power was completely refined by Li Qing.

This time, the increase in his cultivation was extremely exaggerated, increasing by nearly two thousand years of cultivation.

At this time, his true essence already seemed a little unstable. He didn't put the final bronze spear into the altar. Instead, he sat down on the spot and began to cultivate, consolidating this majestic mana.

Seeing this, the others also took the bronze wares they had been allocated to the altar one after another.

The four people who received the spiritual power empowerment all sat down cross-legged, gritting their teeth to refine this spiritual power.

After a long time, the hot-bodied woman exclaimed, "Not good, I can't suppress it anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura overflowed from her delicate body. In an instant, she stepped into the mid-stage of Void Refinement.

On the other hand, the silver-haired werewolf and the red Yaksha both suppressed their realms very well at the limit of the mid-stage of Void Refinement, only half a step away from stepping into the late-stage of Void Refinement.

Li Qing opened his eyes again and threw the bronze spear in his hand towards the altar.

Boom!

Another wave of majestic and pure spiritual power surged, and he skillfully received all of this spiritual power into his body.

Even after receiving such a rich spiritual power empowerment, Li Qing still showed no signs of breaking through his original realm. His cultivation still remained in the early stage of Void Refinement, and there was even a considerable distance from the mid-stage of Void Refinement.

"Huff!" Li Qing let out a long sigh. After a round of luck adjustment, he opened his eyes again, and a flash of light flashed in his pupils.

Seeing this scene, the red Yaksha sighed, "Fellow Daoist's foundation is really solid. I'm afraid you laid an unparalleled foundation when breaking through the Void Refinement stage, right?"

Li Qing didn't respond. He knew his own situation. He advanced to the Void Refinement stage with the foundation of the Five Elements in One, and he also fused the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, even driving the Five Viscera and Six Organs.

Now, in his realm, as long as his cultivation improves, his physical level will also be correspondingly improved.

Therefore, the spiritual power he needs to advance is extremely large, several times that of ordinary people!

The advantage of doing this is that it saves the steps of body refining. In the future, when he breaks into the Integration stage, his physical body will be comparable to the demons of the Integration stage.

The crossbow-wielding woman chuckled and said, "It's a pity that we have to separate when we walk into the light gate next. It would be great if we could explore the Profound Heaven Divine Palace together. With the five of us joining forces, we can fight even against the strong at the Integration stage."

The silver-haired werewolf didn't think so. He whispered, "You think too simply of the strong at the Integration stage. Although that bronze giant statue was comparable to a puppet at the Integration stage, it was, after all, not controlled by anyone and only fought by instinct, so it was defeated by us."

"If we encounter a real strong at the Integration stage, even if we join forces, it is impossible for us to have a chance of winning."

The red Yaksha also nodded and said, "That's right. After reaching the Integration stage, one can change their position in an instant. If we encounter them, I'm afraid we will be instantly killed one by one."

Hearing this, the well-figured female cultivator stretched lazily, not hesitating to show off her exquisite figure.

She said lazily, "We can be considered to have fought together. Why don't we get to know each other?"

"Dayu Kingdom Human cultivator, Duan Jingsi!"

The silver-haired werewolf nodded and said, "Werewolf clan, Silver Radiance Giant Wolf tribe, you can call me Yeming."

"Yaksha clan, Xiao." The red-skinned Yaksha also revealed his family.

Duan Jingsi supported her fragrant cheek with one hand and looked at the puppet boy sitting cross-legged behind her, and chuckled, "Little brother, your puppet art is so exquisite, you should be a disciple of the Mo family in Xiling Prefecture, right?"

The puppet boy nodded, "I am Mo Bai! If you want to create puppets in the future, you can come to Xiling Prefecture to find me. As long as you prepare the materials, I can refine spiritual puppets at the Void Refinement stage for you."

After the four of them reported their families, they all looked at Li Qing. Only this human cultivator was the most unfathomable to them.

Li Qing was silent for a while before he said, "Tai Academy, Li Qing."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Jingsi raised her eyebrows, "A teacher at Tai Academy? How is that possible! I thought you were a knight general of one of the Thirteen Sky Knight Divisions. Your strength is so powerful!"

"When did Tai Academy produce someone like you? I remember that the teachers at the academy, apart from being proficient in formations, are all useless, aren't they?"

Hearing this, Li Qing shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I only entered Tai Academy in recent years. The other teachers should not be as unbearable as you said."

"Alright, it's rare to come to the Profound Heaven Divine Palace, so I won't say much. See you later!"

Saying that, Li Qing stood up and walked directly towards the light gate at the end of the ruins, preparing to go to other spaces to find opportunities.
