Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"You bastard...! How could I possibly lose to you...!"

"I'm not reconciled, no... *splatter*!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Tianlong's face turned pale again, and he coughed up a large amount of blood. At the same time, he collapsed to the ground like a broken tree, unable to stand up again!

boom!

Not only that, the opponent's Yuan energy also plummeted at this moment, as if everything that is at its peak must decline.

Half-step Yuanhai Realm...!

Tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm...!

The ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm...!

In just a few breaths, Xu Tianlong's Yuan Power cultivation plummeted, like a thousand-mile river embankment overflowing its banks, until he finally fell to the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, only then did he manage to stop the decline!

"What, what's going on?!"

"How could my cultivation level suddenly plummet?! No, this is impossible...!"

Xu Tianlong's cultivation level suddenly plummeted, and his expression changed drastically. His pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at Lu Feng with disbelief. "You bastard! What dirty tricks did you play on me?!"

"I am a powerful expert at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, and with the aid of the Bone Spirit Soul, how could I possibly lose to a piece of trash like you...!"

Xu Tianlong struggled to get up again, but fell to the ground once more. Clearly, due to the severity of his injuries and the fact that most of his soul had been devoured by the invisible soul beast derived from the Soul Devouring Technique, he was now only one-tenth of his original strength and was practically crippled!

"Xu Tianlong, I used to think you had some cleverness, but now it seems I overestimated you..."

Lu Feng glanced at Xu Tianlong, who was lying motionless on the ground, spread his hands outwards, and said with a hint of mockery, "He was clearly used as a tool the whole time, and he doesn't even realize he's about to die. It's truly pathetic..."

"You! Ugh...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's mockery, Xu Tianlong felt a surge of anger in his heart again. However, before he could vent his anger, he vomited blood again and his life force became even weaker, as if he were on the verge of death!

"Trying to get something from a tiger will only lead to this disaster."

Lu Feng chuckled coldly and said, "Xu Tianlong, you want to rely on the power of the Wusheng Sect to become stronger, but isn't the Wusheng Sect also using you?"

"As for the so-called elixir of life-reversing power, it is certainly not some miraculous pill that can quickly make one stronger. Its drawbacks are so severe that it can not only cause people to lose their minds and senses, but also kill them on the spot...!"

Indeed, Xu Tianlong relied on the effects of the Fate-Defying Elixir to break through to the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, which greatly increased his strength!

However, all of this is only temporary. Once the effects of the Reversal Elixir wear off, the user will not only be returned to their original form, but will also suffer a backlash, resulting in a significant drop in cultivation level and even endangering their life!

As for Xu Tianlong's sudden drop in cultivation, it is precisely because his internal injuries are too severe, and his soul has been devoured by an invisible soul beast derived from the Soul Devouring Technique, which has caused the backlash of the Reversal of Fate Spirit Medicine to occur prematurely!

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, Xu Tianlong stared blankly, his face turning deathly pale with disbelief, as if his Dao heart had been shattered and he could no longer utter a single word!

After all, the reason he joined the Wusheng Sect in the past and joined forces with Zhang Dabiao and others to ambush and kill his fellow disciples was because he coveted the life-defying elixir in their possession!

But now Lu Feng has revealed the secret of heaven with a single sentence, exposing the mystery behind the life-defying elixir. Xu Tianlong is naturally dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning!

"The Elixir of Reversal of Fate is not a miraculous elixir that makes one stronger; on the contrary, it is a deadly poison..."

"As for my current cultivation and strength, it's nothing but a mirage, ultimately unable to last... No! Why is this happening...!"

Thinking of this, Xu Tianlong's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, and a surge of despair and resentment instantly welled up in his heart. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and his whole demeanor became somewhat incoherent, "Could it be that Zhang Dabiao and his gang have been lying to me all along?"

"No! I am Xu Tianlong, the leader of the Five Spirits Society, the Dragon Spirit. How could I be deceived by these demonic cult scum...!"

"Yes! It's fake...! It's all fake! Hahahaha...!"

"Whether it's the Wusheng Sect or the Luoxing Academy, they're nothing more than tools I, Xu Tianlong, am using! Hahahahahaha....!"

Xu Tianlong collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, but he was spitting blood and laughing wildly. His face was twisted and contorted with rage, as if he had gone mad and was unable to extricate himself!

"Looks like I won't need to lift a finger..."

Seeing Xu Tianlong, who was badly injured and vomiting blood while laughing maniacally, Lu Feng merely raised an eyebrow, showing no surprise.

After all, the other party had devoted himself to cultivation for decades and finally broke through to the Yuanhai Realm. But now all his cultivation had vanished in an instant, like a pipe dream. How could the other party not go crazy?

Not only that, Xu Tianlong's soul was almost completely drained by the Soul Devouring Technique. Even if Lu Feng doesn't take action himself right now, the former won't live more than three days and will surely die!

"Hehe, young man of the Lu family, I didn't expect that in less than a month you would have mastered the Soul Devouring Technique to such a high degree. You haven't disappointed me..."

"However, there is one more thing I need to remind you of..."

Just then, Gu Canyang's voice suddenly rang in his ears, before he changed the subject and said in a low voice, "If you want to continue to cultivate the Soul Devouring Technique in the future, or inherit my mantle, you will not only need to devour more souls to become stronger, but you will also have to give up cultivating the Corpse Transformation Technique..."

"Give up cultivating the Corpse-Summoning Technique?"

Upon hearing Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng was first taken aback, then looked puzzled and greatly confused.

...

Meanwhile, in Falling Star Valley, outside the Sealing Star Platform

Bang!

In the midst of the fierce battle, a muffled, loud thud was heard from afar. The next moment, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, revealing its true form: a large club covered in barbs.

"Cough cough cough...!"

Struggling to his feet again, Baturu coughed up blood as he reached out to grab the wolf-tooth club on the ground opposite him.

thump!

However, before Baturu could even grip the spiked club tightly, his entire body trembled violently, and he collapsed to the ground again, his face turning deathly pale. Clearly, he was on the verge of exhaustion and unable to fight any longer!

"Big black face!"

Seeing Baturu cough up blood and fall to the ground again, Duan Lang, who was also surrounded, frowned slightly. He immediately unleashed dozens of fierce sword energies with his sword, forcing back the murderous Wusheng Cult members around him.

"Big Dark Face, you must hold on! Once we've dealt with these remnants of the Wusheng Cult, I'll take you back to the courtyard to heal your wounds...!"

Duan Lang held his sword in one hand while quickly helping the weak Baturu up from the ground. His brows were furrowed and his expression was extremely solemn, clearly showing that the latter's injuries were not optimistic.

"No! No need...it's unnecessary!"

Faced with Duan Lang's encouragement, Baturu grinned, revealing a relieved and bitter smile, seemingly knowing he was doomed. "Duan Lang, although I've always found you a bit glib and annoying, and far inferior to me in terms of strength, cultivation, and everything else, I have to say... cough cough cough cough!"

Coughing up several more mouthfuls of blood, Baturu's voice grew increasingly weak as he stammered, "You, you lad... you really are a good person. To have known you and Sister Cao in this life, I, Baturu, can say... I can say... I have no regrets even in death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Baturu's pupils froze, then his head tilted to the side, and he was completely lifeless!

"Hmph, finally dead. As expected of an elite disciple from the East Campus of Falling Star Academy, he certainly gave me a lot of trouble...!"

Seeing that Baturu had finally breathed his last, Li Li frowned slightly and his face turned sinister.

After all, his opponent's vital organs had already been shattered by his palm strike, yet he managed to hold on until now before dying. Moreover, he even managed to kill several members of the Wusheng Cult before his death, which is nothing short of a miracle!

"Now only this kid is left..."

Li Li shifted his gaze to Duan Lang, who stood beside him, his face filled with grief. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Brothers, attack!"

"kill!"

At Li Li's command, the Wusheng Cult members around him instantly swarmed forward, like loyal warriors who were not afraid of death, and immediately surrounded Duan Lang, leaving him with nowhere to retreat!
