Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

Faced with the attacks of two first-tier high-grade demonic beasts, Lin Qingyang did not dare to be careless. He made a hand seal, and his water escape technique, which had reached the minor completion level, allowed him to dodge three water arrows. The remaining three were blocked by the heavy water shield.

At the same time, the mother blade in the Azure Netherworld Mother Blade was recalled. Because it contained Earth Element Gold, it collided violently with the natal deer antler, weakening its power by 30%.

"It can block even more, but it will probably damage the magic weapon by then."

Lin Qingyang pondered for a moment, then dispersed the Mother Blade, raised his hand, and pushed out the Water Curtain, which blocked another 20% of the power.

At this moment, the antlers were less than a fist's distance from him.

The Azure Spirit Deer seemed to see Lin Qingyang being disemboweled, but what happened next horrified it.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud, sparks flying!

Lin Qingyang raised his hand and tightly grasped the emerald green natal deer antler.

[Water Armor] The talent comes from the Azure Rhinoceros, which is known for its defense. The remaining half of the power of the innate deer antlers cannot break through the defense.

"Human, hand over your life-bound spirit horn!"

The superior-grade Azure Spirit Deer roared, its divine sense surging forth.

"If you want it, then here you go."

Lin Qingyang felt a little regretful. Had he been too soft-hearted?

Of course not. This natal spirit horn can be used to craft magical artifacts with healing effects, making it quite valuable. Naturally, he wanted to get his hands on it.

But the superior-grade water python was already approaching, and he would have to expend a lot of magic power to suppress his natal antlers.

"What a pity."

Lin Qingyang felt that he had less than 60% of his magical power left, so he transformed into a deep blue spiritual light and fled in all directions.

Throughout this process, he never directly confronted the two demonic beasts.

Because of his talent for water escape, only the water python could keep up with his speed, but it could only barely restrain him. The Azure Spirit Deer fared even worse, completely lagging behind and getting eaten up in the dust.

Therefore, he could use the mother-and-child blades to slaughter monsters at will.

However, the two demons dared not leave, because their presence slowed Lin Qingyang's slaughter by 60%.

If the Jade Spirit Deer were to leave, the Water Python alone would be easily killed by Lin Qingyang.

Even so, within a quarter of an hour, Lin Qingyang had killed more than a dozen mid-grade demonic beasts.

At this moment, his magical power was less than 20% and he returned to the defensive line. His body was filled with murderous aura, which made everyone tremble with fear.

But the tide of battle has turned!

Lin Zongbo, who was struggling in the cage, glanced down and coughed a few times. "Good lad, you still have a chance."

With a sweep of his divine sense, he found that the remaining twenty were mostly low-grade demonic beasts, which he could easily slaughter.

At that time, within a quarter of an hour, eight first-tier high-grade demonic beasts would also be surrounded and killed.

"No more recognizing, kill!"

Without hesitation, Lin Zongbai took out a crimson sphere radiating an aura of destruction from his bosom and hurled it into the cage!

Yang Fire Thunder!

He once gifted Lin Qingyang the Fire Thunder Seed, which is three times more powerful. The family only has this one left, and its grade has reached the second rank, high grade!

Its power is enough to seriously injure a Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on.

He can only unleash such resources if he is certain of victory in battle; otherwise, if he injures the demonic beasts and is powerless to drive them away, he will only be doing the work for someone else.

The Azure Deer King also sensed the life-or-death crisis at this moment. With a roar, it burned its vital energy and used its natal antlers to push against the enemy.

"Boom!"

A loud bang!

Even the light in the giant rock prison had dimmed considerably.

As the dust settled, the once majestic Azure Deer King was now in a pitiful state. Its natal antlers had shrunk considerably, and it had completely lost its spiritual connection, buried under the dust.

His entire back was covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, bleeding profusely, and the ground beneath his feet was stained crimson.

His eyes revealed terror; he hadn't expected these human cultivators to possess such abilities, managing to reduce his magical power to less than 30%.

At this moment, the roles of offense and defense have shifted.

With only 30% of their magic power, the Jade Spirit Deer could be worn down and killed!

Of the monsters remaining at the bottom of the pool, only four high-grade monsters and one Azure Spirit Deer King remained.

Just when everyone thought victory was assured.

Lin Qingyang thought so too, and he was recovering his magical power.

But suddenly, a terrifying surge of spiritual pressure emerged from the giant prison.

The elder in charge of the array changed his expression drastically. "This is bad! This demonic beast also possesses ice-attribute divine abilities! Retreat quickly!"

His shouts echoed across the entire water surface, penetrating the lake, and Lin Zongyue immediately ordered the Fire Prison Formation to be withdrawn.

The people underwater had no time to react.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the formation was broken!

Countless ice shards, comparable in power to those in the late Qi Refining stage, shot out in all directions.

Those who held the battle flags were instantly killed by the backlash due to insufficient cultivation.

The Azure Spirit Deer King, having lost its antlers, was now surrounded by ice crystals. Even in its extremely poor condition, it still stared intently at Lin Zongbai, "Human, you injured my life-bound spirit antlers, forcing me to halt my evolutionary process. You're very good, very good indeed!"

Accompanying this mental fluctuation was an ice crystal attack comparable to a second-tier spirit talisman.

Then, without even looking at the outcome, the Azure Deer King grabbed the remaining four high-grade demonic beasts and fled from the water.

With only one-tenth of his magical power remaining, if he lingers in the same spot any longer, he might truly perish.

This monster even possessed ice-attribute magical abilities; no one could have predicted this outcome.

Lin Zongbai had just released Yang Fire Thunder, which damaged his meridians. Coupled with continuous combat, he could only release one high-grade defensive talisman.

He had already closed his eyes; his death was inevitable.

He recalled the clansmen who had sacrificed themselves for the family over the past thirty years, and he was mentally prepared for this outcome.

"Elder, retreat immediately!"

Lin Zongbai heard an urgent voice in his mind, and then felt a tremendous force pushing him away.

He opened his eyes, only to find Lin Qingyang blocking his way. He roared inwardly, "No, you still have hope of Foundation Establishment, why save someone whose path to enlightenment is cut off?"

He couldn't even speak, and of course Lin Qingyang didn't care about him anymore.

"Power comparable to a second-tier spirit talisman; the ice crystals' attack is dispersed, it can be blocked!"

Lin Qingyang took a deep breath. He was also recovering his magical power nearby. Being close by meant he could escape, but he could also stand up for himself.

Recalling the many ways Lin Zongbo had taken care of him, he felt he had to step up unless it was a life-or-death crisis!

The first thing to do was toss out a fireball.

Elder Zongbai bestowed it upon me back then, and it is only right that I repay the debt of karma today!

The power of the Fire Thunder was significantly weakened underwater, but it still managed to block 60% of its power.

After that, he created three more layers of defense.

The first layer was the Water Armor talent, which was already half damaged in the previous battle and had not yet repaired itself. It was broken after only three breaths of resistance.

The second layer is the Water Curtain. Faced with the attack of a second-tier demon beast, the defensive spell released by a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator is as fragile as paper, only able to block it for a moment.

The third layer was a heavy water shield, and even the ice crystals with only one-tenth of their power pierced through this defensive artifact that had accompanied Lin Qingyang in battle for many years.

The final layer was a robe with a pattern on it, bestowed upon him by his family for this battle. This treasure sensed the fluctuations of magical power and spontaneously protected its master.

From this point on, the Azure Deer's ice crystal attack was completely blocked.

The defensive magical artifacts, the Heavy Water Shield and the Fire Thunderbolt, blocked most of the power. Both of these were bestowed upon Lin Qingyang by Lin Zongbai, especially the Fire Thunderbolt.

If it hadn't been for the gift that day, even if Lin Zongbai still had one in his storage bag today, he wouldn't have the divine sense or magic power to activate such a treasure.

Every drink and every bite has its own destiny.

Lin Qingyang was blasted several miles away and lay in the water python's lair. He suffered only minor injuries but also gained some new insights.

Moreover, because of his water-controlling supernatural abilities, he has a deeper understanding of the movement of water elemental energy than others.

"Something seems off about this crevice in the rock."

Lin Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the crack in the rock wall beneath his feet. Water-based spiritual energy was continuously flowing in from this direction, as if something was absorbing the spiritual energy.

This feeling didn't seem like some kind of lurking monster, nor could it possibly have hidden under the watchful eye of the Azure Spirit Deer King for so long.

But he didn't make a fuss, because he could clearly see that the thick rock walls around him were not something he could break through at the moment.

He secretly memorized the location, intending to plunder a spiritual eye technique later. He would make a decision after investigating its advantages and disadvantages.

After all, the ocean is mysterious and unpredictable. Some of its natural dangers may seem harmless, but in fact, there are stories of even Nascent Soul cultivators who have perished there.

On the other side, Lin Zongbai, who was slumped on the ground, took a full hundred breaths to come back to his senses. He recalled Lin Qingyang who had stood in front of him, and also thought of the fire thunder that had made a contribution.

At this moment, he felt incredibly grateful that he had supported this family descendant with inferior spiritual roots back then.

He quickly got up, used his magic to help Lin Qingyang up, and took a deep breath, "Thank you, Qingyang."

"Elder, you flatter me."

Lin Qingyang waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's just that the heavy water shield was destroyed. I just need the elder to give me another defensive magic artifact."

He was just saying it casually to ease the tense atmosphere after escaping a life-or-death crisis.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Zongbo nodded seriously. "Alright, this time the family has had a great harvest. I will ask Elder Zongkai to forge a top-grade defensive magic weapon for you."

A defensive artifact is nothing compared to one's own life.

Lin Zongbo even felt it wasn't enough and was determined to make up for Lin Qingyang's good deeds.

He himself had no hope of achieving enlightenment, nor did he have any descendants with spiritual roots. The spiritual items he had accumulated over the years of refining talismans would eventually be offered to his family. Directly supporting his descendants would be the same.
