After failing three times in a row, Zu finally figured out some of the tricks of the trade.
First of all, the ferocious beast should not be intelligent, otherwise it would be able to escape safely even when it was surrounded and attacked to a dangerous extent multiple times.
Secondly, for some reason, the ferocious beasts could sense the battle between their companions and immediately rushed over to provide support.
The ancestor could only attribute this to the instincts of ferocious beasts.
At least the Flame Tyrant species is gregarious and extremely united.
However, no matter what, it is still a ferocious beast without intelligence, and there will always be times when it is alone.
The last time, Zu actually ambushed a lone one, but it took a while and the other Flame Tyrants arrived.
This is also why he deduced that there was a peculiar connection between the Flame Tyrants.
It was quite unexpected that Zu could know the situation here from such a long distance.
After all, they wouldn't be alerted by other beings fighting around them. Sensing the commotion but unaware of the details, the group of beasts ignored Ancestor's hunting of other animals; they would arrive immediately if Ancestor attacked the Flame Tyrant.
Weird!
"However, having learned from experience, I won't be careless this time; I'll finish this quickly."
Half an hour later, Zu finally found another Flame Tyrant and roughly estimated the time it would take for other Flame Tyrants to provide support.
"It will take at least two or three minutes."
Do it!
The ancestor, who had shown no sign of life just a moment ago, suddenly erupted, his blood and qi surging into the sky, forming billowing smoke.
Qi and blood, smoke and fire.
This was also a result of his repeated battles with more than a dozen ferocious beasts, which led to another transformation of his qi and blood.
With a powerful push off his feet, he leaped in front of the Flame Tyrant. The power of blood and qi on his right fist was already extremely concentrated, and a cannonball wrapped in blood and qi came flying at him.
Sensing the danger, the Flame Tyrant erupted with flames, forming a wall of fire in front of it, and roared angrily as it charged toward the Ancestor.
The Flame Tyrant is bull-shaped, but has only one horn on its head, and is extremely thick.
At that moment, the bull horn, engulfed in scorching flames, collided with the fist of the ancestor, which had passed through the wall of fire.
"boom!"
The shockwave from the collision carried the flames westward, instantly plunging the surrounding area into ablaze.
His body surged with vital energy, blocking the damage from the flames, and he moved through the flames.
Zu used the Instantaneous Movement technique, relying on his movement to arrive at the side of the Flame Tyrant, and threw a punch. The power of his blood and qi, mixed with the compressed air in front of him, blasted the Flame Tyrant's waist.
He took out a long spear from his ninja tool bag with his right hand.
The power of qi and blood is really not suitable for condensing into a tangible weapon. This spear was obtained by Zu from Ma Jia.
It contains a large amount of exotic metals such as placer gold and meteorite iron, and weighs a full 108 pounds!
However, in Zu's hands, this long spear was as if it were nothing, and he swung it with great force.
The spear even bears sealing incantations and energy absorption incantations carved by Maga. Once activated, the spear can automatically absorb natural energy to operate the sealing incantations, causing the spear's weight to increase several times over.
Zu used his movement technique to take advantage of the Flame Tyrant's pain from the previous punch, and moved to the other side. Enveloped in his blood and qi, the spear seemed to transform into a part of his body. With a forceful thrust from Zu, it pierced through the Flame Tyrant's flesh, and the entire spear tip disappeared into it.
"Roar!"
In pain, the Flame Tyrant suddenly swung its body, sending Zu flying more than ten meters.
After regaining his footing, Zu pushed off with both feet and once again raised his spear high, smashing it down towards the Flame Tyrant.
The spear suddenly emitted a great deal of light, and the runes on it flashed with light, instantly doubling its weight.
Zu used the weight of the spear to forcefully slash downwards.
"boom!"
The spear struck the Flame Tyrant's head with a dull thud. The spear trembled violently, even numbing the ancestor's hand.
"Damn, this is real iron."
No wonder everyone says the skull is the hardest bone.
However, the spear's strike left the Flame Tyrant dizzy and disoriented, barely able to stand.
Zu naturally wanted to press his advantage.
Swinging the spear was ultimately time-consuming, so he simply threw it away and raised his fists to strike the Flame Tyrant.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Even if a punch doesn't penetrate a defense, the immense shockwave from a blow to the opponent's internal organs is enough to damage them.
Finally, the Flame Tyrant seemed to give out, and Zu stopped moving, picked up the spear and put it into his ninja tool bag, then carried the dying Flame Tyrant and ran for his life.
As if sensing something, a deafening roar of grief came from behind.
"Damn it, why are these guys chasing us so hard this time? Damn it, we only caught one of you, why are they still chasing us?"
Perhaps it was because of the Flame Tyrant on his shoulder, but no matter how Ren Zu tried to take a detour, he couldn't shake off the pursuit of the Flame Tyrant clan behind him.
Zu was also very troubled.
Damn.
We've forgotten about that.
We can't just kill the guy on our shoulder.
Creating a shikigami is quite time-consuming; it must be completed before the soul dissipates, and it's best to kill it on the spot.
Gritting his teeth, Zu carried the dying Flame Tyrant and ran towards the nearby mountains and forests.
"Big brother, hold on a little longer, don't die yet, or I'll kill you in a minute!"
As he ran, Zu kept muttering to the Flame Tyrant on his shoulder. Fortunately, the tyrant had no intelligence and couldn't understand him, otherwise he would have died of anger on the spot.
Finally, using the terrain to his advantage, he managed to leave the Flame Tyrant clan behind him some distance away. Zu put down the Flame Tyrant on his shoulder and began to take out various scrolls from his ninja tool bag.
Four iron lumps resembling array plates and four scrolls were quickly paired up and placed around the perimeter.
"Four Purple Flame Formation"
Instantly, the four array plates began to absorb natural energy and inject it into the scroll, forming a rectangular barrier around the purple flames.
"call"
The Four Purple Flame Formation should be strong enough to hold off the Flame Tyrant clan outside, so he can now focus on creating shikigami.
He took out a long spear from his ninja tool bag and stabbed it into the opponent's heart from the soft spot of his lower body.
"Roar!"
Seemingly sensing the death of their companion, the Flame Tyrant outside suddenly increased its attack power against the barrier. However, after several rounds of fierce attacks, it seemed to realize that it could not break through the barrier, or perhaps it knew that its companion was dead and that it had vented its anger, so the entire clan began to retreat.
At this moment, Zu had no time to pay attention to them. After killing the Flame Tyrant, he began to create shikigami according to the descriptions in the Onmyoji inheritance.
The power of blood and qi was injected into the opponent's body, transforming into strange patterns. Then, a scroll that had been prepared beforehand was taken out, and the contract inside was activated. Instantly, the blood and qi power inscription on the scroll fell off and came to the ancestor.
The power of blood and qi within the Flame Tyrant's corpse resonated, seemingly guided by something. The spell shone brightly, forcefully pulling the opponent's soul out of the corpse.
At this point, it is actually invisible, but the ancestor is a special case because he has some understanding of the soul due to his physical body, and he was able to perceive the appearance of the soul through special perception.
The technique continued to operate, and the power of qi and blood surged into the soul at the same time, as if reshaping an illusory body for it. The soul, which was originally invisible to the naked eye, transformed into a blood-red spirit body. Wasn't that the appearance of a tyrant of flames dyed red?
However, the spirit's eyes were glazed over, as if it didn't know what had happened.
Zu knew that he had completed the first step: drawing upon the contract formed by the power of blood and qi, as well as the newly completed spirit body of the shikigami, and guiding it into the space between his eyebrows.
Instantly, all the energy and blood seemed to find an outlet, transforming into a fluid that flowed into the space between Zu's eyebrows.
Due to the unique nature of his clone, Zu needs to take one more step at this stage.
Draw out the connection between yourself and your soul, allowing the power of your vital energy and spirit to enter your soul and form the final pact.
After a while, a flame mark appeared on Zu's forehead.
"Ferocious beasts have no intelligence. Even if their souls are made into shikigami, they will only be the lowest level shikigami and will need to be constantly nurtured."
With a thought, a fiery red spirit appeared before the ancestor.
Summoning shikigami also utilizes spatial abilities. However, unlike summoning techniques, shikigami are more deeply connected to the soul. Furthermore, unlike summoned beasts, shikigami are completely obedient to their host, and the host and shikigami can accomplish many things that summoning techniques cannot through a contract.
Most importantly, a shikigami is essentially a part of the soul, and ordinary spatial barriers cannot prevent the host from summoning a shikigami.
Even parallel universes cannot completely block the soul, so ordinary spatial barriers are naturally ineffective.
The flame spirit no longer had the bull form. It could take any shape according to the ancestor's will, but over time, it would become a habit.
Having shed its beastly form, it was freed from its constraints, able to grow and gradually develop its own intelligence.
The flames floated in the air, slowly absorbing the natural energy of the surrounding environment. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the flames were gradually growing larger, and even the flames were becoming brighter.
This is the result of Uchiha Kiyoshi's soul being of a higher level.
It can be considered a stroke of good fortune for it.
Even though the shikigami is currently at the lowest level, Uchiha Kiyoshi, far away on Kiyoshi Island, can sense that the shikigami has a certain amount of energy to enhance its soul while practicing the Soul Nourishing Technique. However, this amount is somewhat less than that of Uchiha Kiyoshi.
However, Uchiha Kiyoshi would not refuse any extra income in addition to his training.
"It seems that it's still necessary to train a few shikigami. Just this passive skill alone, over time, will have a very considerable effect."
Chapter 345 Initial Success of the Visualization Method
(I wrote this yesterday, around 9 pm, and then I planned to lie down for a while, but I fell asleep. I'm sorry, this chapter is still from yesterday. There will be three more chapters today.)
......
After experiencing the changes brought about by the shikigami, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped paying attention and continued developing his visualization techniques.
The current shikigami are still too weak, and there are still too few available.
Once the ancestor nurtures him, Uchiha Kiyoshi will essentially have a split soul that is constantly cultivating.
Of course, he can only obtain about half of the training effect; the shikigami itself still needs to be improved.
However, what if there are two or more of these shikigami?
