Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

Li Xiaoyao used the momentum to retreat again, and with a wave of his right hand, dozens more talismans flew out!

This time, they were all low-level talismans, not very powerful, but there were many different kinds:

Ice Spike Slows Speed, Mist Spell Obscures Vision, Vines Entangle Limbs, Blazing Flame Spell Interferes with Perception...

The Thunder Beast King was thoroughly annoyed by these "petty tricks," and a fierce glint flashed in its golden vertical pupils: "Annoying!"

It suddenly inhaled, its chest bulging, and then it opened its mouth and exhaled—not thunder, but countless fine lightning runes, which rained down in all directions!

Every lightning rune that collides with the attack formed by the talisman will instantly explode!

Boom boom boom boom—!

Amidst the deafening explosions, all the talisman attacks were wiped out!

But this is exactly the moment Li Xiaoyao needs!

Taking this opportunity, Li Xiaoyao unleashed his magic weapon once more!

"The Five Flames Burning Sky Sword Formation, rise once more!"

The five swords are positioned according to the five elements, with their tips facing each other. Crimson flames surge from the swords and merge together in the air once again.

This time, Li Xiaoyao increased his spiritual energy output!

Transform the sword formation into a fiery sword domain covering a radius of fifty feet! Within the sword domain, the temperature soared, and even the air began to distort!

"Again?"

An impatience flashed in the Thunder Beast King's eyes. "This trick is useless against me now!"

Undeterred, it laughed, flapped its wings, and unleashed a burst of lightning from within its body, condensing into a suit of lightning armor around itself!

The armor was made of countless tiny electric snakes interwoven together, crackling and popping, exuding an astonishing power!

"Thor's Armor!"

The Thunder Beast King roared and charged directly into the Flaming Sword Domain without dodging or avoiding!

*Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle—!*

Flames and lightning collided violently, producing a series of explosive explosions.

The Thunder Beast King withstood the scorching flames with its lightning armor, slapping its claws to shatter the incoming fiery sword energy one by one, its speed undiminished as it charged straight at Li Xiaoyao!

Li Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged, but his hand seals shifted.

"The Five Elements Cycle, emerge!"

Five palm-sized, five-colored rings flew out from his sleeves, growing larger in the wind until they reached a size of about ten feet, hovering in front of him.

The ring is divided into five colors—golden white, wood green, water black, fire red, and earth yellow—corresponding to the five elements, and rotates slowly.

This is the "Five Elements Ring Wheel," a second-tier mid-grade magic weapon that Li Xiaoyao obtained at Chuixing Post Station. It combines offense and defense and has endless uses.

"Golden Edge, Wood Entanglement, Water Confinement, Fire Burning, Earth Suppression!"

Li Xiaoyao gave a low shout, and the Five Elements Ring Wheel shone brightly!

The golden light transformed into dozens of sharp golden blades that shot towards the Thunder Beast King.

The azure light transformed into countless vines that entwined around the sky.

The dark light condensed into layers of water curtains, creating a barrier.

The fiery red light merged into the flaming sword domain, causing the fire to intensify.

The earthen-yellow light transformed into an invisible gravity, enveloping the Thunder Beast King!

All five elements emerge!

Thunder Beast King's momentum faltered!

The golden blade sliced ​​through the lightning armor, sparks flying everywhere.

The vines wrapped around its legs, and although they were easily burned off by the lightning, they also slowed down its movements.

The water curtain was thick, and although it was evaporated by lightning, the steam still lingered, obstructing visibility.

Gravity pressed down on it, making it feel like it was stuck in mud!

The most troublesome thing is the Flame Sword Domain—under the fire attribute amplification of the Five Elements Ring Wheel, the temperature of the sword domain rises again, and the lightning armor begins to show signs of melting!

"roar--!"

The Thunder Beast King roared, its golden vertical pupils flashing with fury.

It no longer held back, its wings spread wide to the limit, and it howled to the sky!

Rumble—!

The sky suddenly darkened! Thunderclouds gathered within a ten-mile radius, and lightning bolts danced wildly!

The Thunder Beast King stood at the center of the thundercloud, like a thunder god descending, his aura rising steadily!

"Thousands of thunders from heaven!"

Its claws made a grasping motion, and as if summoned, the lightning in the sky transformed into hundreds of lightning chains, shooting towards Li Xiaoyao from all directions!

Each chain was as thick as a bucket, containing the power of violent thunder, and the air became scorched wherever it passed!

Li Xiaoyao's pupils suddenly contracted!

This move has such a wide range that it's impossible to avoid!

He gritted his teeth and threw out all the remaining talismans—

Hundreds of first-order five-element talismans exploded in the air, transforming into golden needles, wooden vines, water arrows, fireballs, and earth and stones, raining down on the thunder chains!

At the same time, he activated all his magical treasures with all his might—

The mirror of the four seasons shone brightly with verdant light, and the power of the immortal foundation of the [Eternal Life Palace] was poured in, activating the "Spring Wood Sprouts" divine power!

The wood-elemental spiritual energy in the surrounding world was forcibly extracted and transformed into layers of emerald green light to protect him!

The five elements circulate and the five colors of light flow to their extreme, and the five elements generate each other, transforming into a five-colored light shield!

The illusory scales of the Flame Scale Armor solidified as if they were real!

The Five Flames Burning Sky Sword Formation contracted, and the five swords swirled to protect the body!

Layer upon layer of defense, deployed in an instant!

The next moment, hundreds of lightning chains crashed down!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! --!!

A deafening series of explosions! Blinding flashes of lightning and flames lit up the sky!

The aftershocks of the explosion spread like a tide, crashing into the life barrier. The barrier shook violently, and cracks appeared everywhere!

The old tree's expression changed slightly, its branches and leaves shook wildly, scattering more green light, barely managing to stabilize the barrier.

The crowd below was completely stunned.

Xiao Chuhuan clenched his fists tightly, his palms sweating profusely.

He asked himself if he were in that situation, facing such an attack, he probably wouldn't last three breaths.

Scar Wolf, Iron Bow, and other Qi Refining cultivators turned pale; this level of combat far exceeded their expectations.

The explosion lasted for a full ten breaths before gradually subsiding.

The lightning dissipated, and the flames gradually died down.

The view from the air gradually became clear.

Li Xiaoyao stood suspended in place, his defenses broken—the Five Elements Ring Wheel dimmed and flew back.

The five swords of the Five Flames Burning Sky Sword Formation scattered, their spiritual light dimming; the illusory image of the Flame Scale Armor shattered, and cracks appeared on the armor itself; several fine marks appeared on the surface of the Four Seasons Mirror.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale; he was clearly suffering from internal injuries.

But he blocked it!

The Thunder Beast King also hovered in the air, its lightning armor mostly shattered, its bluish-purple scales charred black, its wings dimmed of electric light, and its aura disordered.

It stared intently at Li Xiaoyao, its golden vertical pupils filled with a mixture of shock, anger, and excitement.

"Good...good lad!"

The Thunder Beast King, panting heavily, said, "You are the first person I've ever seen in the same realm to withstand my Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Pull without dying... You are the first!"

Li Xiaoyao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "Senior Thunder Beast King... would you like to continue?"

The Thunder Beast King remained silent for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! I'm not fighting anymore! If we keep fighting, the old tree's barrier will shatter!"

It concealed its presence, landed on the platform, and its gaze towards Li Xiaoyao was completely different:

"Boy, you're qualified to establish yourself in the Spirit Soul Realm! An eight-hundred-mile territory—you deserve it!"

Li Xiaoyao also landed, his steps unsteady, and was supported by Xiao Chuhuan.

"Brother Xiaoyao, are you alright?"

Xiao Chuhuan hurriedly handed over the healing pills.

"It's alright, you'll be fine after a few days of rest and recuperation."

Li Xiaoyao took the elixir, and his breathing stabilized slightly.

The old tree spirit's aged voice rang out: "The two sparring sessions are over. Outsiders, your strength has been recognized by all five parties. The eight hundred li territory is hereby granted to you."

Its branches swayed gently, scattering specks of green light that coalesced in the air to form a map of the Spirit Realm.

An area in the southeast corner lit up, marking a range of eight hundred li.

"Within an area of ​​800 li, you are free to build and multiply as you wish."

"But remember the covenant—do not harm the foundation, do not kill the innocent, report every three years, and share the burden of danger."

Xiao Chuhuan solemnly cupped his hands in greeting: "The Xiao family will remember this!"

Li Xiaoyao also bowed: "The Li family will remember this."
