Chapter 522 Zhou Chun's Strength [Please Subscribe]

The [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] took Zhou Chun so much effort to refine, so it is naturally not an ordinary magic weapon.

The mysteries of this treasure lie entirely in the word "myriad transformations".

This treasure can nurture and transform into "Myriad Transformations Golden Qi," which possesses the profound mystery of endless transformations and can be transformed into various supernatural powers according to Zhou Chun's will.

When used for offense, "Myriad Transformations Golden Qi" can transform into a sword rainbow to attack the enemy. Its power is no less than that of a flying sword of the same level, and it is just as sharp. Moreover, there is no need to worry about the flying sword itself being damaged!

When used for defense, "Myriad Transformations Golden Qi" can be transformed into shields, protective barriers, or even spiritual armor, with defensive capabilities comparable to magic treasures of the same rank.

Aside from not being able to heal injuries, this "Myriad Transformations Golden Qi" is practically a panacea.

Therefore, with this treasure in hand, Zhou Chun was essentially equipped with a magic weapon that could attack, defend, and trap enemies, making it a multi-purpose treasure.

In addition, the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] also has the profound ability to assist in cultivation. Its other magical treasure power, "Myriad Transformations Golden Light," can dissolve golden energy and decompose materials.

When Zhou Chun cultivates, he needs to absorb a certain amount of metal energy. In the past, when he went out, he would carry metal energy he had collected in advance with him to assist in his cultivation.

With the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], you only need to carry some spirit gold ore or broken magic artifacts with you. Before cultivating, use "Myriad Transformations Golden Light" to decompose and melt these spirit gold ores into primordial golden energy, and then absorb it during the cultivation process.

It was precisely because the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] possessed such profound mysteries that Zhou Chun insisted on using it as his natal magic weapon after discovering the [Earth Mother Profound Gold] necessary for refining this treasure.

At this moment, relying on the profound mystery of the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], he was able to fight on equal footing with Yan Lingzi, a veteran early-stage Golden Core cultivator who had been in the Core Formation stage for over three hundred years, with only this natal magic weapon and the auxiliary defensive [Earth Vajra Shield], without being at a disadvantage in the slightest.

This scene greatly surprised the Golden Core cultivators watching the battle, and they gained a new perspective on Zhou Chun, a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator from a family of cultivators.

Originally, everyone thought that even though Zhou Chun had made a great name for himself during the Purple Mansion stage, it was ultimately not due to his own strength, but rather because of his several spirit pets.

After he forms his Golden Core, before he can train his spirit pets to the fourth rank, his strength will likely be ordinary, perhaps even weaker than that of a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator from a major power.

According to the rules of these major powers, newly promoted Golden Core cultivators can choose a magic weapon left behind by their predecessors from the Ancestral Hall for free, which means that they can have a suitable magic weapon as soon as they successfully form their core.

Unexpectedly, the actual situation was completely opposite to what they thought!

After Zhou Chun successfully formed his core, his strength was not only extraordinary, but also significantly stronger than the core disciples who were carefully nurtured by the major sects.

If he were to cultivate his own spirit beast to the fourth rank in the future, I'm afraid that most of the Golden Core cultivators from the major sects would be no match for him at the same level!

"Master Uncle, the cultivation technique that Zhou Zhengchun is practicing seems to be quite extraordinary. After this battle, why not have the Zhou family present this technique so that we can study it?"

A Golden Core elder of the Moon Wheel Sect secretly sent a telepathic message to Master Baiyue, offering his own suggestions.

At their level of cultivation, although they would no longer change their main cultivation method, they could still gain some insights by studying other cultivation methods.

Moreover, if they obtained the cultivation techniques that Zhou Chun practiced, they would gain a better understanding of Zhou Chun's abilities. In the event of a conflict between the two sides in the future, they would know each other well.

Perhaps we can even use this technique to cultivate another Zhou Zhengchun among our sect's disciples!

As for whether the Zhou family would be willing to offer up their cultivation techniques, that's not a question at all.

A vassal cultivation family that dares to refuse the demands of the sect leader's power is courting death!

However, Master Baiyue did not give the elder a direct response at this moment, but simply replied, "Let's see."

Looking back at the battlefield, seeing that he had been fighting for a long time without gaining any advantage, Yan Lingzi felt that he was losing face and immediately took out his trump card.

He patted his storage bag, and a crimson-red demonic tiger puppet appeared in mid-air.

It was a low-grade fourth-order puppet!

Puppets are magical artifacts, and this duel is an unrestricted battle. As long as it's not a demonic beast with which you have no contractual control, you can use any other means normally.

Even the secret talismans left behind by Nascent Soul stage cultivators are no exception!

Therefore, it was not against the rules for Yan Lingzi to release a low-grade fourth-order puppet at this time, and Zhou Chun was not surprised.

He had borrowed a low-grade fourth-order puppet from Qinglian Temple, so he was naturally prepared for the fact that his opponent had such a trump card.

Even during the previous battle between Zhou Daoyi and Hongyang Daoren, Zhou Chun had considered the possibility that Hongyang Daoren might be carrying a fourth-tier puppet.

However, when Daoist Hongyang revealed his pseudo-magic weapon, Zhou Chun knew that he was most likely not carrying a fourth-tier puppet.

Although the puppet does not consume much of the master's magic power, in order to unleash the true power of a fourth-tier puppet, the master still needs to devote a large amount of divine sense to control it.

Even with his powerful divine sense, when controlling a fourth-tier puppet, he could only use two or three third-tier magic artifacts.

The Red Sun Taoist's manipulation of pseudo-magical artifacts only consumes more of his divine sense, making it difficult for him to concentrate on controlling the fourth-tier puppet in battle.

Otherwise, the other members of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits" at that time would not have failed to acquire a fourth-tier puppet despite having a pseudo-magic weapon!

At this moment, as soon as Yan Lingzi released the demon tiger puppet, he immediately patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the golden-winged tiger and the thunder dragon.

Seeing this, Yan Lingzi couldn't help but sneer, "So you've finally decided to release these beasts? Fine, then let you see firsthand how they die!"

After saying that, he controlled the demonic tiger puppet to pounce on the golden-winged tiger.

He probably knew that the Thunder Dragon, who possessed the divine power of lightning, was not easy to kill, so he wanted to pick on the weakest target first.

Facing the demonic tiger puppet that rushed towards it in a streak of fire, the Golden-Winged Tiger fearlessly flapped its wings, and two cyan light orbs flew towards the demonic tiger puppet, transforming into a cyan hurricane in an attempt to trap it.

The result was that they were easily dispersed by the demon tiger puppet!

But before Yan Lingzi could feel happy, a large number of white demon bees suddenly appeared around the Golden-Winged Tiger, followed by streaks of white cold air shooting towards the demon tiger puppet like a storm.

The white chill made Yan Lingzi sense a faint danger, so he hurriedly activated the defensive divine power that came with the demon tiger puppet, and a crimson flame shield instantly rose around his body.

But what happened next took him completely by surprise!

But when the white, icy arrows landed on the flame shield, they quickly connected and forcibly froze and extinguished it. Then, the demonic tiger puppet was also frozen in mid-air and fell straight to the ground.

"Damn it, what kind of demonic insect is this? Why is its chilling aura so intense!"

Yan Lingzi stared at the white demon bees with shock and anger, her eyes filled with rage.

Zhou Chun didn't use the "Heavenly Frost Bee" trump card much in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, so it wasn't highly regarded.

The information about Zhou Chun collected by Qinglian Temple only mentioned him briefly and was not taken seriously.

Only now, seeing the fourth-tier low-grade puppet frozen solid without any chance of fighting back, do those who had overlooked this fact realize that Zhou Chun had such a powerful trump card!

Meanwhile, after using the "Heavenly Frost Bee" which he had prepared in advance to freeze the demonic tiger puppet, Zhou Chun quickly had the Thunder Dragon stir up the wind and clouds for nothing, and began to accumulate power to prepare for the "Heavenly Thunder Guidance" divine power, intending to cripple the demonic tiger puppet first, so that Yan Lingzi and Qinglian Temple would feel heartache.

Upon seeing this, Yan Lingzi's face darkened. He hurriedly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of cyan-red true fire, which transformed into a firebird and flew towards the demon tiger puppet, preparing to help it thaw.

This is a true fire divine power he cultivates, called "Azure Yang True Fire." It is a kind of true fire that alchemists greatly favor, and Yan Lingzi himself is also an alchemy master.

However, he seemed to have underestimated the power of "Heavenly Frost Chill".

The crimson and blue flames landed on the solid ice that had frozen the demon tiger puppet, but they did not melt the ice as easily as he had expected.

On the contrary, under Zhou Chun's command, those "Frost Bees" once again spewed cold air at the demon tiger puppet, seemingly freezing even his "Azure Yang True Fire"!

"How dare you, junior!"

With a furious roar, Yan Lingzi immediately activated the net-shaped magic weapon, aiming to capture the numerous "Heavenly Frost Frost Bees".

But Zhou Chun was exactly what he was waiting for.

Seeing that the net-shaped magic weapon had been moved away, Zhou Chun raised his hand, and a golden halberd instantly condensed in his hand, which he then hurled at Yan Lingzi opposite him.

Then he pointed again, and a large ball of golden light suddenly burst out from the golden cauldron in the sky, instantly transforming into a golden spear that shot towards Yan Lingzi.

Yan Lingzi's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly waved his hand to recall the flaming halberd that was attacking Zhou Chun and intercepted the golden spear.

Then he activated the earthen-yellow treasure umbrella magic weapon with all his might, emitting a rich earthen-yellow light that protected him inside.

But at that moment, everything went black before his eyes. Two swords of divine sense pierced into his sea of ​​consciousness. The fire lotus formed by the third level of the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" was torn apart quickly despite its best efforts to resist. His golden core and primordial spirit were instantly slashed twice by the two swords of divine sense!

To outsiders, it looked like Yan Lingzi suddenly let out a scream and instinctively clutched her head with both hands.

The magical artifacts under its control immediately lost their flexibility due to the loss of their master's control, and only attacked in the direction that their master had previously aimed.

Fortunately, his earthen-yellow magic umbrella had an automatic protective ability. Even though it was temporarily out of its master's control, the umbrella's sturdiness still allowed it to block the golden spear's attack and save his life.

However, the net magic weapon that was originally aimed at those "Frosty Heavenly Bees" missed its target because it lost its master's control, and only caught a dozen or so adult demon bees that did not have time to dodge.

Boom!

As the silver lightning struck, Yan Lingzi finally regained consciousness.

Despite his splitting headache, he quickly activated the earth-yellow umbrella to protect himself and summoned his natal magic weapon, the Fiery Halberd, to his side to prevent Zhou Chun from finding an opportunity to take advantage of him.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Chun had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to deal with him.

Instead, after using the second level of the "God-Slaying Technique" to attack him, he turned his attack on the frozen demon tiger puppet.

As the lightning struck, Zhou Chun unleashed a golden sword beam from the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], which shot towards the head of the demon tiger puppet.

In truth, Yan Lingzi has brought this upon herself.

His "Azure Sun True Fire" thawed much of the ice, allowing Zhou Chun's golden sword rainbow to easily pierce through the ice and strike the demon tiger puppet's head.

Even though this puppet is a low-grade fourth-order puppet, and the materials used are all of very high quality, it is still not as hard as a magic weapon, which can be made entirely from magic weapon materials.

Therefore, after the golden sword light landed on the head of the demon tiger puppet, it instantly pierced a hole in its head.

Then another silver-white ball of lightning roared down from the sky, striking the vicinity of the hole.

Rumble!

As a blinding burst of silvery-white lightning erupted, Yan Lingzi immediately discovered that the divine consciousness imprint he had placed within the demon tiger puppet's body had been severely impacted, and the connection between him and the puppet had become extremely weak.

Moreover, the demon tiger puppet's spirit crystal is located inside its head, and this attack may have shattered the spirit crystal inside!

"You've got guts, young man!"

Yi Yang Daoist, who was watching the battle, frowned and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Chun.

Fourth-order puppets are strategic treasures of any sect. Even the Qinglian Temple, after so many years of accumulation, only has a handful.

The fourth-tier puppet that was previously lent to Zhou Chun has not yet been fully repaired.

Now that the demonic tiger puppet has been destroyed by Zhou Chun, the Qinglian Temple's foundation in this area has been severely damaged.

How could Yi Yang Daoist not harbor murderous intent towards him?

But since Zhou Chun had already chosen to do this, why would he care about Yi Yang Dao Ren's opinion?

For him, Qinglian Temple's attack this time had completely torn off the mask of civility between the two sides, and there would be more to come in the future.

Therefore, it is natural to seize the opportunity to destroy the enemy's fighting force as much as possible.

Therefore, he not only wanted to destroy the demon tiger puppet, but also planned to find an opportunity to severely injure Yan Lingzi, so that Qinglian Temple would know that the Zhou family was not someone they could manipulate at will!

If you were to ask who was the most furious after the Demon Tiger Puppet was destroyed, it would undoubtedly be Yan Lingzi.

When he realized he could no longer control the demonic tiger puppet, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, then glared at Zhou Chun and roared, "I will kill you!"

Before the roar had even faded, the flaming halberd suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a fiery dragon that lunged at Zhou Chun.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and three blazing "Earthly Fiery Thunder Pearls" shot towards Zhou Chun.

Faced with his desperate attack, Zhou Chun displayed a steadfast defense.

With a thought, the golden cauldron cast a golden light, creating a golden light screen around him. Inside the light screen, the defensive magic treasure, the [Earth Vajra Shield], was placed, and further inside, his own defensive divine power, [Qian Yuan Golden Glow], was placed to protect him closely.

With such three layers of protection, it can withstand attacks from even late-stage Golden Core cultivators for a while.

The fiery dragon crashed into the golden light barrier and shattered it, but it was forced to reveal its original form as a flaming halberd and could no longer break through the earthen-yellow shield's defense.

Two of the three "Earthly Fiend Fire Thunder Pearls" were detonated a hundred feet away by the two golden beams fired by Zhou Chun, and only one successfully landed on the earthen yellow protective shield.

However, this Thunder Pearl, condensed from the fiery energy deep within the volcano, is indeed vicious, and it is specifically designed to break through protective magical artifacts and supernatural powers.

The combined damage from the simultaneous explosion of the three thunder orbs still managed to break through the protection of the [Earth Vajra Shield] and disperse much of the golden light protecting Zhou Chun.

However, as long as the [Qian Yuan Golden Glow] is not completely broken through, Zhou Chun inside will not be harmed, and the poisonous fire and evil energy cannot hurt him at all.

After surviving Yan Lingzi's outburst, Zhou Chun quickly launched his counterattack.

Lei Jiao Bai Bai took the lead and launched the first attack, with a [Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder] directly hitting Yan Ling Zi. At the same time, he also drew on the power of the thunderclouds in the sky, blasting bolts of lightning at him.

Driven by Zhou Chun, the "Frosty Heavenly Bees" quickly combined into a giant demonic bee and flew towards him.

Zhou Chun activated his natal magic weapon, and as golden light surged forth, another golden spear shot towards the Flame Spirit Cave.

After this onslaught, Yan Lingzi could only use all his strength to activate the earth-yellow umbrella magic weapon to protect himself, and once again activate the net magic weapon to catch the giant demon bee.

He also realized that although the cold air spewed by these demon bees was extremely powerful, their bodies were not strong enough to withstand the attack of his "Purple Flame Heavenly Net".

However, after Zhou Chun's cultivation reached the Golden Core stage, his insect-repelling technique improved significantly compared to before.

The giant demon bee formed by a large number of "Heavenly Frost Frost Bees" is not just a pretty face, but also possesses truly powerful strength.

Under his control of the "Spirit Fusion Technique," the cold air exhaled by all the demon bees was fused into a single, extremely cold aura.

At that moment, under his control through the will of the group of demon bees, the extremely cold energy transformed into an ice dragon that crashed into the purplish-red fire net.

Instantly, ice and fire collided, and the fire net was quickly extinguished by the power of white frost.

The purplish-red fire net, its flames dimmed, flew back into Yan Lingzi's hand, its very essence damaged!

Although this item is a mid-grade magic weapon, it is not actually Yan Lingzi's magic weapon. Due to the hasty refinement, it cannot truly unleash its full power.

The total amount of cold energy within the bodies of more than two hundred mature and adult "Frostbees" is enormous. Now that it has been drawn out, how could this magic weapon possibly withstand it!

After destroying another of Yan Lingzi's magical artifacts, Zhou Chun didn't give him a chance to retaliate. He directly retrieved the swarm of bees that had almost exhausted their cold energy.

Then, together with Lei Jiao and Bai Bai, they launched a fierce attack on Yan Lingzi.

"Junior Brother Qingweizi, it seems we underestimated Zhou Zhengchun's strength. We miscalculated this time!"

Outside the battlefield, Daoist Yi Yang looked at Zhou Chun, who had switched from defense to offense, and couldn't help but sigh and transmit his voice to Qing Wei Zi with a grim expression.

Judging from his words, it was clear that he no longer believed Yan Lingzi could win.

As fellow disciples, he was naturally aware of Yan Lingzi's abilities.

Now that things have progressed to this point, Yan Lingzi has exhausted all his methods and has no more trump cards left to use.

There is no possibility of a draw in this betting contest. Even if it lasts for days and nights, a winner and a loser will inevitably emerge!

Upon hearing Yi Yang Daoist's words, Qing Wei Zi's expression turned grim as she whispered in response, "Yes, we miscalculated! No one expected that this boy, after forming his core, would possess such combat power without relying on a spirit pet!"

After saying that, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a chilling tone, "But in this case, we need to find a way to get rid of this brat even more. Otherwise, once his thunder dragon also advances to the fourth rank, with the master and servants joining forces, I'm afraid even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator personally would find it difficult to subdue him!"

"You want Senior Sister Qingsu to take action herself?"

Yi Yang Daoist frowned, seemingly understanding the implication in Qing Wei Zi's words.

But Qingweizi gently shook her head and said, "No, we can't let the people of Qinglian Temple take action. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, the Moon Wheel Sect will have a perfectly legitimate reason to attack us!"

"So you mean...?"

Yi Yang Daoist looked at Qing Weizi with a surprised and suspicious expression, somewhat confused.

Qing Weizi didn't keep them in suspense and quickly explained via telepathy: "When Junior Brother Xuan Shuangzi was traveling in the Eastern Bingyi Kingdom, he accidentally came into contact with a special force within the country called the [Ice Prison Gate]. The cultivators of this force like to work as assassins to earn cultivation resources, but they only attack cultivators from outside the Bingyi Kingdom!"

"These assassins from the Ice Prison Sect have a history of successfully killing late-stage Golden Core cultivators after being hired. If we're willing to spend money to hire powerful assassins, Zhou Zhengchun will definitely be doomed!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yi Yang's eyes lit up.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "This plan is excellent, but we must be careful when dealing with the [Ice Prison Gate]. We must not leave any evidence that could implicate our sect!"

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll handle this personally and leave absolutely no evidence!"

Qingweizi solemnly made her promise.

The two were secretly plotting their scheme, which was unknown to outsiders.

All that could be seen was that Yan Lingzi was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position under Zhou Chun's attack, just like Lin Hongyu before him, and it was difficult to reverse the decline.

However, if he continues, he should be able to finish in about an hour or two.

After all, that mid-grade defensive magic weapon was indeed very powerful, far more profound and effective than Zhou Chun's [Earth Vajra Shield].

However, Yi Yang Daoist, who already had a plan in mind, did not want to see Yan Lingzi's confidence shaken by Zhou Chun.

He immediately spoke up, saying, "Junior Brother Yan Lingzi, let it go. You've done your best this time!"

He took the initiative to speak, hoping to give Yan Lingzi a way out and make her admit defeat.

But Yan Lingzi was already a bit carried away and couldn't bring herself to do it.

He immediately retorted angrily, his face flushed red, "No, I haven't lost yet! I want to compete with him in magical power! I refuse to believe that a junior who has only recently achieved Core Formation could have more profound magical power than me!!"

First day of August, please give me a guaranteed monthly vote.
