Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Within the Four Symbols Formation, deadly intent was brewing.

When Zhou Chun made no attempt to conceal his naked killing intent, Master Ziyang's panic reached its peak.

He knew that if things didn't go well today, he might really perish here.

So, under the threat of death, he dared not keep anything to himself any longer.

The secret weapons and treasures that the Yan Yang Sect had passed down for many years were used without hesitation at this moment.

Then, explosions and flames rose one after another in the sky, and each explosion shattered a section of the array in the sky.

Under the impact of such a violent explosion, the four demonic beasts that formed the formation all endured tremendous pressure.

Among them, Lei Jiao Wang Bai Bai and Jin Jia Fu Shan Gui Shi Tou were relatively easy to deal with, as they had strong cultivation and physical endurance, so the damage they suffered was limited.

However, the Flame Phoenix and the Wood Spirit Wood Mulberry were unable to withstand the pressure and were greatly affected, making it difficult for them to maintain the operation of the formation.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun stopped hiding and released the fifth-tier snake-man puppet that he had temporarily borrowed from his apprentice Zhou Zhiying.

This snake-man puppet is different from the puppet body of the Heavenly Mirror True Man; it can be powered by spirit crystals.

However, the spirit crystal that drives the snake-man puppet is different from ordinary spirit crystals. It is a special puppet crystal that the puppet master made by using spirit crystals as the main material and combining them with some other special materials.

Once this special puppet crystal is filled with spiritual power, it allows the snake-man puppet to fight continuously at full power for 15 minutes.

However, once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it takes more than ten years to replenish it!

Furthermore, these special crystals have a limited number of charging times; once they have been used too many times, they must be replaced.

However, even the [True Man Xuanfeng] only possessed one of these items; he himself did not have the ability to refine it!

Therefore, Zhou Chun initially did not want to use this item, lest it cut off the path for future generations.

Now that he has released the snake-man puppet, the master and servants, who already had a significant advantage, immediately gained an overwhelming advantage.

Even though Master Ziyang had specially sought out a magic treasure to calm his mind after his previous loss, he still couldn't help but momentarily lose his focus under the illusionary power of the snake-man puppet.

This state of being lost in thought is undoubtedly extremely fatal for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Zhou Chun and Bai Bai seized the opportunity and directly activated their magical treasures and divine powers to launch a concentrated attack on him, quickly destroying the layers of defenses he had set up.

The lightning-streaked Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword forcefully pierced through the inner armor he was wearing, leaving a horrific wound on his body that revealed his internal organs!

Even worse, the lightning that erupted from the sword raged and crashed within his body, shattering and burning his internal organs and meridians, almost completely extinguishing his life force.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would lose half their life from such an injury, let alone the fact that True Person Ziyang is currently being besieged by Master Zhou Chun and his servants.

So even though he was reluctant, after regaining his senses, he immediately made the decision to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, and immediately chose to have his nascent soul leave his body.

A streak of purplish-red flame flew out from above Master Ziyang's head, revealing a tiny Nascent Soul cultivator, only three inches tall.

The nascent soul held an octagonal palace lantern in both hands, wearing a flame-patterned robe, its small face filled with panic.

As soon as he flew out of his physical body, the [Blazing Sun Treasure Mirror] in the sky suddenly flew into his hand.

Then he opened his small mouth and spat out a breath of his vital energy onto the treasure mirror. The mirror immediately burst into flames, radiating a dazzling ring of fire that protected him within it.

Zhou Chun and Lei Jiao Wang's attacks were blocked by the fire, causing them to lose the initiative.

He quickly grabbed the magic mirror and used his "teleportation" ability to escape.

But just as he unleashed his "teleportation" ability, Zhou Chun's four God-Slaying Swords cleaved through the flames and struck his nascent soul.

Furthermore, the "Heavenly Absolute Four Symbols Formation" may indeed interfere with and block the "teleportation" supernatural power of the Nascent Soul. The actual distance of the Nascent Soul of True Person Ziyang's "teleportation" this time was reduced by more than half. It just happened to "teleport" out of the formation's range and appeared in mid-air more than 30 miles away!

Having just unleashed the [Unstable Golden Light Pearl], how could Zhou Chun miss such a golden opportunity? He immediately activated the treasure, unleashing a beam of golden light that aimed directly at the Nascent Soul of True Person Ziyang.

With a flash of golden light, the distance of dozens of miles was covered in an instant.

Having just escaped the influence of the "God-Slaying Sword," Master Ziyang's nascent soul instinctively sensed something was wrong and hurriedly threw out the treasure mirror in his hand to block the golden light.

In his own opinion, with the profound mystery of the spiritual treasure, there was no way it could cause any problems under this golden light attack.

To his utter surprise, although the [Blazing Sun Treasure Mirror] was not damaged by the golden light attack, it was fixed in mid-air by the golden light, which greatly interfered with his mental connection and made it impossible to retrieve for a while.

This result shocked him greatly, and his little face was filled with anxiety.

But just as he was about to personally step forward to retrieve the precious mirror that was frozen in mid-air, a thick bolt of silver lightning struck him down.

This sudden shock made him realize just how dangerous his situation was.

He immediately activated the flame robe he wore, which was transformed from the Purple Sun Heavenly Fire, to withstand the blow of the heavenly lightning. Then, he looked at the treasure mirror with reluctance and once again chose to make a tough decision, temporarily abandoning this spiritual treasure inherited by the sect!

His figure flashed, and with a "teleport," he appeared a hundred miles away. Then, without stopping, he continuously consumed his vital energy to use the "teleport" ability again and again. In a few blinks, he completely escaped Zhou Chun's divine sense range.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately ordered Lei Jiao Wang to chase after the direction it had fled.

You definitely can't catch up like that.

But Zhou Chun didn't want him to escape too easily.

Now that we've completely offended them, we should try our best to maximize their losses.

Now, every time he uses the "teleportation" ability, it may consume more than ten years of his lifespan!

Once the nascent soul's essence is severely depleted, it's uncertain how long True Person Ziyang will survive after escaping back to his sect.

After all, he is not young anymore; he has been in the Nascent Soul stage for nearly a thousand years!

After sending Lei Jiao Wang Bai Bai to pursue Zi Yang Zhenren's Nascent Soul, Zhou Chun himself forcibly suppressed the still struggling [Yan Yang Bao Jian] and sealed it away.

He then collected the top-grade magic weapon [Red Fang Sword] that Master Ziyang had discarded first, as well as his storage bag and other items, including his almost lifeless body.

Although Master Ziyang successfully escaped the Nascent Soul stage in this battle, the treasures he left behind brought Zhou Chun a great harvest.

In particular, the Flame Sun Sect's inherited spiritual treasure, the Flame Sun Treasure Mirror, and the top-grade magic weapon, the Crimson Fang Sword, were able to solve his immediate crisis.

If these two treasures are given to the Fiery Phoenix for refinement, there should be no problem passing the Heavenly Tribulation.

Moreover, Master Ziyang fled in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take his storage bag with him, and he left several magical treasures on his body, which were all considerable gains.

After carefully storing all these items, Zhou Chun also collected the several seriously injured fourth-tier spirit pets and then looked down at the Nether Spring Lake.

If you calculate carefully, about a quarter of an hour has passed since Master Tianjing revealed his true identity.

Even after such a long time, Master Yinyue is still trapped and unable to escape. It seems that Master Tianjing has not wasted his time all these years.

At the bottom of this secluded lake, there are probably many hidden measures already in place.

Unfortunately, the lakebed is now shrouded in darkness, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator like him cannot see what is happening below. He can only see occasional bursts of silver light.

But that's all he did; he just watched.

He definitely wouldn't go down and help Master Tianjing deal with Master Yinyue.

After all, even if he and Master Tianjing joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to kill Master Yinyue.

After his fight with Master Ziyang, he was even more certain of this.

The "teleportation" ability of Nascent Soul stage cultivators is indeed a life-saving tool, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot catch up with them.

If we can't kill Yin Yue Zhenren and let him escape like Zi Yang Zhenren, who knows if he might get angry and bring out the Moon Wheel Sect's most treasured artifact, storm the Green Lotus Mountain Range, and massacre the Zhou family!

So now that he has fulfilled his promise to Master Tianjing, he only needs to watch from the sidelines.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly led Lei Jiao Wang Bai Bai, who had stopped chasing and returned, to retreat quickly.

Rumble!

Just as Zhou Chun and his servant retreated, a violent explosion erupted from below.

The waters of Youquan Lake formed a giant mushroom cloud during the explosion, reaching a height of hundreds of feet!

"This is... could it be a Nascent Soul self-destruction?"

Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a grand scene.

If he hadn't retreated quickly enough, he would probably be in a sorry state right now.

Aside from the legendary self-destruction of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Zhou Chun couldn't imagine anyone else among the two below who could achieve such explosive power.

So who exactly is the person who self-destructed their Nascent Soul?

Zhou Chun soon found out the answer.

Before the enormous mushroom-shaped water cloud had even settled and dissipated, a beam of silver moonlight rose from the water and swiftly flew towards the direction of Yasukuni.

In the dim light, Zhou Chun saw the Silver Moon Immortal enveloped in silver moonlight, his body covered in bright red blood.

The Heavenly Mirror True Man no longer has a physical body and has transformed into a Ghostly Nascent Soul, so it is impossible for him to still have blood flowing out.

So it's obvious where the bloodstains on his body came from.

This result also greatly shocked Zhou Chun.

Because the self-destruction of a Nascent Soul is no joke.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage self-destructs their Nascent Soul, even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the late stage might be seriously injured if they can't dodge in time, and it's not impossible for their physical body to be destroyed!

However, although Master Yinyue appeared to be seriously injured, his physical body had clearly not suffered irreparable damage.

This means that he either avoided the center of the explosion or had an incredibly powerful trump card to save his life.

Either way, it's enough to show that he is extremely powerful.

Zhou Chun was even more grateful that he hadn't intervened in the battle between the two sides and hadn't gotten himself deeply involved.

As for the current outcome, whether or not Master Tianjing is satisfied, Zhou Chun is able to accept it.

After the waves of Youquan Lake subsided a little, he prepared to go down and see how Tianjing Zhenren was doing.

Putting everything else aside, he was actually quite interested in the puppet body of the Heavenly Mirror Master.

He had only gone down a short distance when he quickly came back up and hurriedly left the area.

It turned out that after he went down, he discovered that the explosion had completely destroyed the Yin Sha Spring below, and the Yin Sha Earth Vein below was also beginning to collapse.

In this situation, even if some remnants of the puppet body of the Heavenly Mirror Immortal remain, it is mostly of no use.

What's worse is that the surrounding area, spanning thousands of miles, may be completely extinguished, its life force eroded by the erupting Yin energy, turning it into a ghostly wasteland.

Even as the Yin energy gradually dissipates, it will be difficult for this place to regain its current prosperity and vitality. It will most likely become a desolate wasteland like the Soul-Severing Desert, devoid of life.

Zhou Chun had no desire to get involved in such a huge cause and effect; he'd rather leave it to the major factions like the Jingyang Sect of Feng Kingdom to deal with!

After extricating himself in time, Zhou Chun returned to the Qinglian Mountains not long afterward.

At this time, news of the earth-shattering battle in Feng Kingdom had not yet reached Jing Kingdom. The three parties involved were either busy recovering from their injuries or did not want to publicize it, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, Zhou Chun still gave Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi a brief account of the battle, instructing them to remind the Golden Core elders of their families not to leave the mountain gate recently, lest they suffer retaliation from the Moon Wheel Sect and the Flame Sun Sect cultivators.

He estimated that neither faction would publicize this matter, since doing so would only add to Zhou Zhengchun's infamous reputation and increase his prestige in Jingguo, without actually harming him.

Most likely, he'll just silently swallow his anger and wait until his injuries heal before looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for him.

By then, his Fiery Phoenix had already successfully transcended its tribulation, and even if the two factions joined forces, they would have no chance against him.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is not flustered at all and remains calm and composed.

After explaining the situation, he took stock of his spoils.

As the head cultivator of the Yan Yang Sect, Master Zi Yang naturally possessed many valuable items.

In addition to the spiritual treasure [Blazing Sun Treasure Mirror] and the top-grade magic treasure [Red Fang Sword], there is also a high-grade magic treasure defensive inner armor, an exquisite jade pendant-shaped high-grade defensive magic treasure, and a magic treasure spirit pearl with the function of calming the mind and focusing the spirit, which is also a mid-grade magic treasure.

However, apart from the magic treasure spirit pearl, the other two magic treasures were quite damaged in the battle, and several high-grade magic treasures were even destroyed in the previous battle.

Fortunately, Master Ziyang's storage bag could be used as a substitute.

After spending some effort breaking through the restrictions on Master Ziyang's storage bag, Zhou Chun was overjoyed to find what was inside.

He was right; Master Ziyang, the head cultivator of the Yanyang Sect, did indeed have many precious items stored in his storage bag.

Clearly, this Nascent Soul cultivator with the spiritual treasure hadn't really considered the possibility of dying outside.

Or rather, he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't carry some rare items with him!

Thank you all for your blessings. My dad was finally able to speak clearly today. If he can be observed for two more days and a check-up shows no major problems, he can leave the intensive care unit. Because it was a traffic accident, there are so many things to deal with, and my family lives in the countryside. Running back and forth between the city and the countryside is really exhausting. I can only try my best to write the novel whenever I have a spare moment!
