Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

Zizizi!

Three writhing purple lights emerged from Zi Hao's chest, wrapping around Ning Xiu's wrists and arms, forcibly stopping him in place.

Immediately, a fist-sized dent appeared in Zi Hao's chest, revealing an extremely aged face.

The face was embedded in Zi Hao's chest, looking incredibly strange.

"Kid, I told you not to mess with Peng Futian of Qingque Prefecture and those old birds from Shenque Kingdom. Didn't you listen? When you get back, go and face the wall for a few days." The man in the face said.

Zi Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, this time it really has nothing to do with me. It's just that the Shang Dynasty has gained another Dragon Elephant King in Qingque Prefecture, which has completely disrupted my original plans."

Ning Xiu calmly looked at the face on Zi Hao's chest. It was the aura of a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator. This guy had somehow managed to remotely summon a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator to possess him, just like Chang Fenghai summoned two demon immortals to possess him.

"A new Dragon Elephant Realm expert? That's terrible. Alright, I'll hold them off for you. You guys hurry back. Consider this mission a failure."

An old man's face crawled out from Zi Hao's chest. Behind the face was the body of an insect, which flapped its wings and flew in mid-air, confronting Ning Xiu.

Zi Hao dared not be negligent. He knew very well that what followed was beyond his control. He had to take advantage of the fact that the ancestor still had the strength to hold Ning Xiu back and escape from the Qingque Prefecture as soon as possible to avoid being caught up by Ning Xiu using the power of his Destiny Star.

So he turned and ran, without even thinking about checking on his companion who had been punched into the mountains by Ning Xiu.

"Boy, my true form isn't here. I'll just keep you occupied for a few hours, and we'll just wear each other down. If any of the young men in the clan have offended you in any way, I hope you'll give me a way out for my sake," the old man said calmly.

The three purple lights were extremely mysterious, binding Ning Xiu's arm and preventing him from exerting any strength. The entanglement was very strong, and if it continued, it would really be as this guy said, allowing Zi Hao to escape.

Little did they know that Ning Xiu suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, and the old man with the aged face had not yet realized what it meant.

Suddenly, two new arms grew from Ning Xiu's back, and he swung his palms in the direction Zi Hao had fled.

In an instant, the palm wind was like a fierce force, disrupting the clouds and mist of the surrounding world. Two hundred-foot-long blades of energy, driven entirely by immense power, burst out and easily caught up with the fleeing Zi Hao, passing right through his waist.

"No!!!" The old man with the aged face roared angrily after he realized what was happening.

But it was too late. Zi Hao's body was severed in two, falling from the sky and splattering blood on the ground.

"Old man, remember this: those who offend the Great Shang will be punished no matter how far away they are." Ning Xiu grabbed the purple light with both arms, his black patterns pulsating. With a crackling sound, the three purple lights broke off and turned into countless purple light spots that fell down.

Ning Xiu unleashed four punches, and the old man with the aged face was utterly powerless to resist, instantly annihilating him.

If this so-called ancestor of the Purple Dragon Clan were to arrive in person, he could fight Ning Xiu to a draw. But for a mere clone to think he could hold off Ning Xiu and buy time for Zi Hao to survive is far too arrogant and shows a complete disregard for Ning Xiu.

Leaving the original spot, they arrived at the place where the two Purple Dragon Clan members had died, reaching out to search their bodies to see if they had taken anything important with them.

Since these outsiders were able to get the local demon forces in Qingque Prefecture to do things for them, they must have paid a considerable price. Otherwise, how could they have allowed those demons, who wouldn't do anything without a profit, to openly attack the Demon Subduing Division?

As expected, Ning Xiu found two bracelets that resembled neither iron nor jade on the bodies of two different members of the Purple Dragon Clan.

These two bracelets looked ordinary on the surface, but they actually contained a hidden world inside. As Ning Xiu channeled his inner energy into them, he was astonished to discover that there was a space inside the bracelets that was about ten feet in diameter.

The fact that such a small bracelet could hide such a large space made Ning Xiu instantly think of a certain idea.

Virtual space can contain a mustard seed, and a mustard seed can hold Mount Sumeru!

Buddhist and Taoist scriptures say that "a flower contains a world," which is actually an extremely rare supernatural power.

This means creating a larger space within a small object; such a technique is already at the level of an immortal. Ning Xiu never expected to find a similar treasure on these two Purple Dragon Clan members.

"This Purple Dragon Clan seems to have a rather complicated background," Ning Xiu thought to himself.

He had been in the Demon Subduing Bureau for several months and had never heard of the Shang Dynasty having such a treasure. Either it was too rare and the Shang Dynasty had hidden it very well, or it really didn't exist.

Chapter 153 [153] The Golden Crow, the National Treasure

The two bracelets contained a large amount of materials. Ning Xiu recognized some of the materials, which were very expensive, while others were materials that Ning Xiu had never even seen before.

Among them were many pills that could enhance physical strength, as well as bottles and jars of unknown purpose.

It's likely that the extraordinary individuals of the Purple Dragon Clan managed to persuade those demons in Qingque Prefecture to take action by offering gifts.

"Hmm?" Just then, something inside the bracelet caught Ning Xiu's attention.

It was a nine-foot-long, yellowish bone. Although it looked ordinary, Ning Xiu could faintly sense an extremely unusual aura inside it.

Ning Xiu took the long bone out of the bracelet, stroked the extremely smooth surface of the bone, and tried to break it.

But when he unleashed all his strength, he couldn't budge his bones even a fraction; he couldn't even bend them, let alone break them.

This must be an exceptional material!

"This length is perfect for forging a new spear," Ning Xiu thought to himself, a sudden inspiration striking him.

After observing the top blacksmiths of the Great Shang Dynasty forge two spears, his forging talent is now exceptional, and he is fully capable of forging weapons on his own.

Ning Xiu used to have only two arms, one Yin Liu and the other Zhu Long, which was just right. But now that the Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Body has mutated, he needs two more matching spears in his four-armed state.

When all four spears are used simultaneously with the Heavenly Might Divine Spear, its power will undoubtedly be even greater.

[Forging Talent: Excellent (10/100)] (+)

After glancing at his forging talent, Ning Xiu left the spot and found a safe, secluded, and deserted place. He then poured out the materials from the bracelet and prepared to forge it by hand for the first time.

Below the Dragon-Elephant Realm, blacksmiths still need to rely on the fire of the open furnace or draw upon the earth's fire for assistance, which greatly limits their abilities.

However, with Ning Xiu's current strength, he already has a better alternative to the fire source, and his forging techniques are enough to leave the blacksmiths of the Great Shang Dynasty dumbfounded.

Raising his right palm, he activated his own destiny star, and a beam of crimson light shot down to the earth, striking Ning Xiu's palm precisely.

A ball of fire, red on the outside and gold on the inside, instantly appeared in Ning Xiu's palm. This ball of fire was only the size of a fist, but its heat was extremely terrifying. Ning Xiu estimated that if he released all its power, it could ignite an area of ​​a hundred miles in an instant and continue to burn for more than a month.

The Great Sun Blaze can be extracted from the sun and moon by the Dragon-Elephant Realm through the Life Star. Its temperature is tens of thousands of times that of ordinary flames. In addition to the Great Sun Blaze, the Great Moon Yin Fire can also be extracted at night. It is as cold as the underworld and has unique magical effects.

boom!

With a forceful movement, Ning Xiu's Great Sun Flame instantly surged and grew stronger, increasing in size by more than ten times. As Ning Xiu moved his hand away, the fireball floated quietly in mid-air, allowing Ning Xiu to throw in materials he liked for refining.

No matter how hard or difficult a material is to refine, it will turn into liquid the moment it comes into contact with the Great Sun Flame, slowly flowing inside the flame and then merging together.

Ning Xiu was completely focused and dared not relax for a moment.

The materials obtained from those two Purple Dragon Clan members were extremely expensive and rare. Even though Ning Xiu is now at the Upper Dragon Elephant Realm, it would still take him a considerable amount of effort to acquire so many materials on his own.

Since we have something readily available right now, we cannot afford to fail easily.

……

It is an unknown distance, perhaps tens of thousands of miles, from the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty.

"what!!!"

Within a grand capital city, a roar echoed from underground.

Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky, and a huge human face was faintly revealed in the clouds.

Upon witnessing this scene, the extraordinary people in the capital all lowered their heads in fear and dared not linger on the street any longer.

"How dare you! I will make sure you suffer eternal damnation!"

Underground, an old figure sat cross-legged on a stone platform in an ancient cave, with five creatures lying quietly beside him.

A purple toad covered in pustules and bumps, and a crimson centipede as red as jade.

A flawless green gecko, a black spider covered in hair, and a golden snake with three heads and fleshy growths on their heads.

"What happened that made you so angry?" the golden snake asked curiously.

The old man raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with anger: "Those two children, Zihao and Ziyu, were murdered in Qingque Prefecture. The Dragon Elephant King of the Great Shang Dynasty killed them."

"When did Peng Futian become so ruthless? Even you couldn't save those two kids' lives. I remember you even gave Zihao that thing to carry. This is a huge loss."

"If it weren't for Peng Futian, I could definitely hold him off and protect Zi Hao's life. It's just that the Great Shang Dynasty has produced another Dragon Elephant Realm expert today. What a huge change!"

"So what are your plans to do about him? No matter what else you do, we have to find a way to get that Golden Crow Bone back."

The old man stood up and shook his tattered ancient robe. Immediately, a large number of black dots fell from his clothes and landed on the stone platform, frantically fleeing in all directions. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that those black dots were actually glossy black lice.

Seeing this, the five poisonous creatures were overjoyed and began to devour the lice that had fallen from the old man's body.

"I will personally make a trip to Qingque Prefecture. How dare a brat who has just stepped into the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm act so arrogantly in front of me? Not only will I bring back the Golden Crow Bone, but I will also bring back that brat's corpse. I will refine it into a corpse puppet, light its soul lamp, and torment it for a hundred years!"

……

Inside the bracelet, the rare materials that Ning Xiu recognized were gradually decreasing until they all turned into liquid, forming a huge water sphere.

This sphere is made up of the essence of dozens of minerals. Once formed, it can be used as the spearhead of Ning Xiu's new weapon.

The water sphere moved slowly, and finally, under Ning Xiu's control, it transformed into a sharp spearhead. The spearhead had blood grooves and dents on its surface, and anyone who was grazed by it would definitely suffer a severe injury.

With the spearhead complete, the most important part now is the handle.

Ning Xiu already had the best choice for this: the mysterious long bone inside the bracelet that he couldn't see through at all. Putting aside everything else, the fact that Ning Xiu couldn't break it even with all his strength was enough to show how hard it was.

Take out the long bone and connect it to the spearhead. Under the intense sunlight, the two objects sizzled and began to stick together.

The intense heat of the fire made the spearhead and long bone glow red, and Ning Xiu couldn't help but break out in beads of sweat after staying close for a while.

Just as the spearhead and the long bone were completely connected, an unusual phenomenon occurred.

Golden meridians lit up inside the long bone, appearing in every part and every location of the long bone.

Bang bang bang!

It was as if the spear in his hand had come to life; Ning Xiu could even feel the vibrant life force within it, and a faint heartbeat.

Boo!

A golden light burst forth from inside the gun, transforming into a blurry figure that shot straight into the sky, heading towards the sun in the heavens.

The golden light was like a pillar supporting the sky, standing tall and proud, looking down from all directions, breaking through the clouds, and continuing to expand endlessly.

Judging by this display, it's another national treasure!

At this moment, the entire Qingque Prefecture was engulfed in turmoil, and all the demons and humans turned their gazes out at the enormous pillar of light that was of unknown origin.

The Divine Sparrow King flew over the palace, looking surprised and envious, and said, "Where did this national treasure come from? Is it a heavenly treasure appearing in the world, or did someone come to Qingque Prefecture to forge a weapon?"

The two sparrows, Wind and Thunder, who had just killed the tree demon and were preparing to return to the Divine Sparrow Kingdom to report on the matter of Stone Venerable, stopped halfway and looked in surprise at the direction of the pillar of light.

Qingque Prefecture is incredibly lively today. Not only have the great Shang dynasty come here to subdue demons and conduct martial arts demonstrations, but two Dragon Elephant Realm experts, Wang Bing and Ning Xiu, have also emerged. Furthermore, a national treasure has now been created.

What a fantastical thing this is! If it hadn't happened, the two demons would never have believed it, not even if they were beaten to death.

"Let's go and see. The national treasure will be awarded to the most capable person. Perhaps we will have a chance."

"it is good."
