The First Venerable of All Paths

"The Demon Emperor?"

Mingche trembled, murmuring softly, "There's even a demon king protecting him..."

It turns out that he never fully used his trump cards from the very beginning.

On what grounds?

What gives him the right?!

He's only at the Qi Gathering Realm.

Despite repeated attacks from the Wen and Ming families, he did not summon the demon emperor to protect him.

At this moment, Mingche was dealt a severe blow.

"It's you again?"

Crimson scales hovered in mid-air, their vertical pupils, like lanterns, fixed intently on Liu Ming.

"I never expected that you would dare to appear before me again after you escaped last time."

The crimson scales released a bloody, malevolent aura that enveloped all directions.

"Then this time, you're not leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson-scaled giant tail swayed gently, and then crashed down on Liu Ming like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

"Bang!"

Liu Ming waved his hand and conjured a protective shield, which just blocked Chi Lin's attack.

However, the spiritual energy shield only lasted for a moment before it shattered.

The immense force sent Liu Ming flying back several meters, his expression turning slightly grave.

"Crimson Blood Serpent!"

Steadying himself, Liu Ming slowly revealed a sinister smile on his lips.

Do you think I would be unprepared?

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ming waved his sleeve.

Six wooden sculptures suddenly appeared all around.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

These six wooden carvings transformed directly into jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, and eagles, six blood-red beast spirits, emanating an incomparably terrifying aura.

The aura of each beast spirit is divine.

"The Art of Subduing Beasts!"

Mingche's eyes lit up.

This is the secret technique of the Beast Taming Hall.

The soul of a demon beast is sealed within the statue using a secret method. By simply injecting Yuan energy or spiritual energy, the beast spirit can be released to fight for its master.

However, the act of bringing out six divine-level beast spirits at once was beyond Mingche's comprehension.

With this kind of lineup, they could probably easily wipe out a small force.

However, upon further reflection, Mingche realized that he had already become Liu Ming's disciple and would also be cultivating this secret technique in the future, which filled him with excitement.

"You piece of junk dare to oppose me, the Emperor?"

Chi Lin grinned, his body radiating a ferocious killing intent.

"wishful thinking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Lin's figure blurred, and he appeared directly in front of a snake spirit, slamming down with his huge claws.

"hiss!"

The serpent spirit stood upright and spat out a mouthful of venom, which corroded the air and emitted white smoke.

"boom!"

The giant red-scaled claw paused, letting out a surprised exclamation.

"This little thing is quite interesting."

There seemed to be a hint of seriousness in his tone.

"I paid a considerable price to create these six beast spirits for this day."

Liu Ming smiled smugly and said, "Getting a Crimson Blood Python as a mount is a very worthwhile deal."

"The six beasts subdue the eight wastelands, suppress them!"

Liu Ming formed hand seals and poured his spiritual power into the six beast spirits.

"Boom!"

Then, six beast spirits opened their mouths and spat out a stream of demonic power, which crashed into the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

"Even a grain of rice can shine as brightly as the moon!"

With a cold snort, Chi Lin twisted his massive body and slammed his claws out.

"Snap!"

The two streams of demonic power were easily shattered.

The remaining four streams of demonic power landed on the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, causing his body to tremble violently.

"Hmm, this is interesting!"

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor as he turned to look at Fang Xuan.

"Silly boy, stay away, I'm about to get serious."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan's eyes flashed.

It seems that even the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor isn't confident in dealing with these six beast spirits.

He landed on his sword, sat cross-legged, and focused on both the situation and his injuries.

"Come, come, let me see just how capable you little brats really are!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor let out a wild laugh, and his body grew larger once more.

A tyrannical, bloodthirsty aura enveloped the heavens and earth.

He moved like a dragon, heading straight for the snake spirit.

"I'll take care of you first!"

Crimson power flowed across its claws as it slammed down.

The serpent spirit was enveloped in demonic power, its body taut like a long spear, as it fiercely thrust towards the giant claw.

"Snap!"

But the moment the two made contact, the snake spirit's body exploded on the spot.

At the same time, Eagle Spirit flapped its wings, and two wind blades slashed towards Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

"Sizzle!"

Two hideous wounds were immediately left on the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body.

With a sweep of its giant tail, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor shattered the Eagle Spirit.

In just two breaths, two beast spirits were destroyed.

Along with the two corresponding wooden carvings, their luster also dimmed considerably.

"He does have some skill."

Upon seeing this, Liu Ming gave a chilling smile.

He flipped his hand and took out a long whip.

The whip was covered with silver scales; the gaps between them were filled with sharp barbs.

Beast-driving whip!

This is also a unique weapon of the Beast Taming Hall, made from the spine of a demon beast. Although it does not seal the beast spirit, it is enhanced with secret techniques, giving it a natural suppressive effect on demon beasts.

With a single lash, even a demon beast at the Demon Emperor level would have its skin torn and flesh ripped open.

"Whoosh!"

Liu Ming, holding the beast-driving whip, lashed it fiercely at the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

Silver light shone from the Beast-Driving Whip, binding the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor like chains.

"Bang!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor trembled violently and let out a painful groan.

A bloody gash was left on his body.

"Roar roar roar!"

The four beast spirits—jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards—rushed towards the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor like sharks smelling blood.

Although the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor was incredibly powerful, it was becoming increasingly difficult for it to cope with the four demon emperor beast spirits and Liu Ming, who was wielding the beast-driving whip.

below.

Fang Xuan, who was healing himself, frowned deeply upon seeing this.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor is not in a good state.

He seemed to be deliberately suppressing his power.

Could it be...?

"His power hasn't fully awakened yet?"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor had previously stated that he would be in a deep sleep for a period of time.

But waking him up suddenly might have had some impact on him.

And the facts were just as Fang Xuan had imagined.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor had been sealed at the bottom of the secret lake for many years, and his strength had not yet been fully restored.

He had been asleep because he had consumed a lot of energy and needed to sleep to digest it, but at the crucial moment, Fang Xuan woke him up.

For him, it did indeed affect some of his combat capabilities.

"But this old man is hiding too much of his true abilities."

Fang Xuan thought to himself, "If I suffer a loss, he will suffer a loss too. If he doesn't want to die here, he will definitely fight back desperately."

While Fang Xuan was lost in thought, the battle in the sky had reached a fever pitch.

The two beast spirits, the snake spirit and the eagle spirit, condensed once again, joining the other four beast spirits to form a strange monster with a ferocious appearance and unique characteristics of six beast spirits.

Beast Spirit Fusion!

It can combine the power of the six beast spirits into one, unleashing unparalleled power.

"Boom!"

A demonic power far exceeding the fifth level of the Divine Realm swept out from the demonic beast.

The strange beast's eyes were not located on its head, but rather on its body.

He held a bone club in his hand and smashed it down on the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor without hesitation.

Before the attack even landed on the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, the violent aura made him feel as if he were trapped in a swamp, slowing his movements.

"Whoosh!"

With another flash of silver light, Liu Ming's beast-driving whip lashed out at the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor once more.

Two attacks, one after the other, landed simultaneously.

"Thump!"

As the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor was struck on the head by the bone club and fell from the building, he was entangled by the Beast-Driving Whip.

"Awooo!"

A strange, monstrous beast swung its staff and smashed everything in its path.

This time, they'll go straight for the head of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

If this attack were to actually hit, it would be a devastating blow to the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

"Ants!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and then he opened his mouth and spat out.

"Boom!"

A beam of blood-red light shot out from the mouth of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, directly colliding with the bone club that the strange demon beast was hurling down.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor raised his sharp claws, grabbed the Beast-Driving Whip, and yanked it sharply.

"Snap!"

The beast-driving whip was torn in two, and Liu Ming staggered.

Just then, a dark shadow swept in.

It was a huge snake tail.

"not good!"

Liu Ming's expression changed, and he quickly formed hand seals.

A giant hand of spiritual energy materialized and firmly grasped the snake's tail.

"Bang!"

The giant hand of spiritual energy exploded, and the snake's tail lashed fiercely at Liu Ming.

"snort!"

Liu Ming's face turned pale, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Master!"

Mingche's expression hardened.

Master is injured!

As for the strange beast, its attack was thwarted, and just as it was about to attack the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor again, a shadow enveloped it.

"You ugly thing, you're pushing your luck!"

The Crimson Scale Demon King's eyes were bloodshot, and its several claws on its abdomen suddenly grabbed the strange beast and pulled hard.

"Sizzle!"

With its demonic power leaking out, the enormous body of the strange monster was torn to shreds by the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

Six wooden sculptures of beast spirits, their light dim, floated in mid-air, seemingly preparing to launch another attack.

"Smash this pile of junk!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor roared and spat out a torrent of red water.

The Crimson Breath!

One of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's innate divine abilities.

As the torrent swept past, the six wooden carvings, like snowmen, melted away rapidly.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Upon seeing this from a distance, Liu Ming's expression changed drastically, and his eyes turned red.

Of these six animal spirit wood carvings, two belong to him.

But the remaining four seats were borrowed from the other elders.

They thought that by capturing the Crimson Blood Python and Fang Xuan, they could not only make up for these losses but also make a fortune.

Fang Xuan's natal flying sword alone is enough to make him invincible among those of the same realm!

But now.

The loss of just one Crimson Blood Python caused him heavy losses.

Beast-driving whip, six beast spirits.

This is equivalent to most of his net worth.

"Yes, Fang Xuan!"

Liu Ming suddenly looked down and said in a chilling tone, "Mingche, kill Fang Xuan immediately, quick!"

He suddenly remembered that Fang Xuan and the Crimson Blood Python seemed to have signed a contract.

As long as Fang Xuan is killed, even if the Crimson Blood Python doesn't die, it will suffer a backlash from its bloodline and its strength will be greatly reduced.

"this......"

Upon hearing this, Mingche hesitated.

Kill Fang Xuan?

That guy is not easy to deal with.

"don’t worry."

Liu Ming seemed to see Mingche's hesitation and said, "That kid's internal energy is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak, and he's also seriously injured. He's no match for you at all."

Mingche looked at Fang Xuan.

Upon discovering that he was indeed practicing internal energy to heal his injuries, and looking weak, a thought struck him.

"And this Beast Soul Pill will allow you to unleash the full power of your Battle Beast Body, break through your cultivation level, and kill that brat with ease!"

Liu Ming flicked his finger and tossed a bottle of pills to Ming Che.

"Once it's done, I'll immediately take you to the Beast Taming Hall for training!"

Looking at the pill in his hand and listening to Liu Ming's words, Ming Che's hand suddenly tightened.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll take care of that kid!"
