Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The intense light spread outwards, continuously expanding its range.

Upon hearing Tang Wenlong's words, Lin Sheng immediately fled backward, only to be cleaved in two by the blade upon encountering the demon he was about to meet.

He casually grabbed a piece of the demon's body and threw it into the light behind him. As soon as the piece of body came into contact with the strong light, it began to crystallize and gradually became crystallized.

From skin and flesh to blood, it was transformed without reservation into a piece of crystal, which shattered on the ground.

The towering figure in the distance was still radiating light, transforming itself from top to bottom into a dazzling ball of light.

"What a terrifying move! I mustn't get hit by that light!"

Lin Sheng's figure moved through the woods, taking straight lines to get away from the bright light as quickly as possible.

After the intense light turned everything within a kilometer radius into crystal, Lin Sheng slowed down. However, he remained vigilant, watching from a distance to see if there were any further changes.

Before me was a dazzling array of crystals, a stark contrast to the lush green trees all around.

Many spirits, demons, and animals were transformed into crystal statues under the intense light, retaining the appearance of their escape in life, their faces invariably filled with terror and despair.

Lin Sheng picked a crystallized leaf and examined it closely. He discovered that it was not glass crystal, but something similar to glass crystal.

He could no longer sense any trace of Tang Wenlong and Cao Xingyi, and did not know their condition.

Even the Vajra of Liuli Mountain could not be seen.

"We can't sense anything right now and can't transmit sound."

Crushing the crystal in his hand, Lin Sheng was about to walk forward to get closer to the two people and ascertain the situation.

Just then, a thunderclap struck from the sky, and a painful roar echoed through the forest.

Even more intense than the roar was Tang Wenlong's anger.

"You beast! How dare you ruin my magic weapon!"

"Do you know how much effort I put into crafting this?!"

"Today I will skin you alive and tear you apart to vent my hatred!"

Following the sound, Lin Sheng found the direction to go.

As soon as it emerged from the grass, it saw lightning crackling and striking down from the sky, making the air around it ripple and roar.

The fur on Vajra of Liuli Mountain was charred black, and its body was covered with dried bloodstains.

It was panting heavily, and even swinging its arms was difficult; anyone with eyes could see that it wouldn't last much longer.

Tang Wenlong's condition wasn't much better. Parts of his body were crystallized, but living flesh could still be seen beneath the crystals. Faint electric light was constantly stimulating his body, hindering the crystallization process.

Lin Sheng then heard Cao Xingyi's voice.

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

"Were you affected by the strong light just now?"

Lin Sheng knew that Cao Xingyi's divine sense had detected him at this moment, so he sent a telepathic message.

He replied, "No problem, senior brother, I'm fine."

"How are things on your end?"

Cao Xingyi sat on the back of a demon whose head had been pierced and said, "I'm safe here, as long as you're alright, Junior Brother."

"Senior brother, what did Vajra of Liuli Mountain just do?"

"I think Mr. Tang has also been affected. Is he alright?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang will be fine."

That was the Vajra of Liuli Mountain's trump card, but I didn't expect it to be used so quickly. Although this move is quite powerful, it also has significant side effects.

"Look at that beast, isn't it gradually losing its strength? That's a side effect."

Lin Sheng saw Tang Wenlong strike the chin of the Vajra of Liuli Mountain with a hammer, and blood spurted from its mouth from its enormous teeth.

Cao Xingyi continued, "Just wait and see."

"After this move, the other demons won't surround us for a while. We can just wait quietly."

Hearing Cao Xingyi's words, Lin Sheng felt relieved.

The battle between Tang Wenlong and the Vajra of Liuli Mountain continued, but looking at the Vajra of Liuli Mountain, Lin Sheng felt that this battle was actually easier.

He began to refine the demons he had previously slain, absorbing their precious essence.

His condition was quickly restored, but the improvement in his strength was very limited.

After all the precious essence was absorbed, Lin Sheng noticed that the crystals around him were no longer as pure as they had appeared before, but instead had a greenish tinge.

He noticed this change and examined it closely. Sure enough, he found that the tree branches and leaves, which had been crystallized, were slowly returning to their original state, and the branches and leaves that had been solidified were gradually unfolding.

"So this isn't a permanent change; it can be changed back."

"No, not necessarily. It's also possible that this Vajra of the Crystal Mountain has limited power, so it can't achieve a permanent effect."

Lin Sheng stared at the leaves as they recovered.

Just as he was about to pick it to examine it closely, he discovered that the leaf had begun to crack, wither little by little, and then fell to the ground.

Lin Sheng realized something and turned to look at the crystallized demons and monsters around him.

Those species that gradually detached from crystallization showed signs of being conscious after returning to their original form, revealing a sense of having survived a catastrophe. However, their bodies then collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, and they gradually lost their vitality.

However, some demons whose strength is close to the Pure Blood Realm can still barely stand up again after falling, clinging to a wisp of breath and moving shakily.

Watching most of the creatures fall in droves, Lin Sheng realized the problem of crystallization.

"Although it is only temporary, this deprivation of energy is very real."

"This kind of deprivation would be a fatal blow to weak beings, whose reserves would be insufficient to withstand it after they break free from crystallization."

"Only those demons with some strength can barely survive on their own."

Lin Sheng swung his sword and killed the demon that had just stood up, refining it into a precious essence.

Tang Wenlong's battle in the sky continued, but he had lost much of the crystals on his body, and his movements were no longer significantly affected.

"No wonder Mr. Tang told me and my senior brother to run away, but he was able to face it head-on himself."

"If I had been exposed to that intense light, even someone at the Pure Blood Realm would probably be seriously injured by now."

Just as Lin Sheng was pondering this, his ever-vigilant divine sense noticed many figures appearing around him.

These figures varied in size and were clearly various creatures from Wuzhi Mountain.

Lin Sheng saw a python as thick as an arm emerge from the forest. Without even glancing at him, it picked up a mangled demon corpse from the ground and left.

At the same time, eagles, wolves, bears, as well as some spirits and even a few demons, all behave in the same way.

They had no interest in Lin Sheng or the Vajra of Liuli Mountain; they only cared about the flesh and blood of the demons and other creatures before them.

They picked it up or swallowed it, and then left.

"What's going on?"

Lin Sheng frowned, realizing that something was wrong with the strange situation he was in.
