Demonic Demoness Training Project

Lu Li activated the Immortal Slave Seal, manipulating Duan Xuanyuan back onto the ship. She then left the protective array and personally ventured into the spatial turbulence.

Taiyin Youying! Return to your place!

The next moment, a celestial avatar with a large head and a small body appeared out of thin air, also braving the void turbulence, and flew to the front of the Creation Ark.

Taiyin Youying is only at the fifth level, but in terms of defense, this Heavenly Crafted Body is as strong as a monster. Even Duan Xuanyuan's sixth-turn body does not dare to confront it head-on.

If Duan Xuanyuan could remain unharmed amidst spatial turbulence, Lu Li could too.

With Duan Xuanyuan paving the way, Lu Li also knew how to deal with the spatial turbulence. Nine golden datura flowers appeared out of thin air, forming an unbreakable barrier around Lu Li.

This move is none other than the [Titanium Yttrium Gold Flower Array]!

The golden flower bloomed, bursting forth with beams of golden light. This golden light contained Dao traces and also transformed into a golden sword aura. However, unlike Duan Xuanyuan's, the golden Dao traces could not freeze space, but instead violently cleaved it open!

Wow!

This strike, like a Great Wall of sword energy, stretched for miles, instantly splitting the turbulent space in two.

This time, Qingkui didn't even need to activate the Heaven-Opening Axe to easily pass through it.

"This move is quite impressive... No wonder it's a top-tier artifact from an upper-tier sect."

The three types of puppets, Tianxin Platform, Wan Nian Fei Hua, and Yao Guang Xin, totaled twenty-seven pieces. This set of puppets was perfectly integrated, and its power after completion far exceeded Lu Li's imagination. This was the first time Lu Li had attempted to use it after refining all the fifth-rank matching puppets.

The power of the nine golden flowers was more than five times that of the three golden flowers, surpassing even Duan Xuanyuan's six-turn body.

That attack was comparable to the techniques of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm. If Lu Li had mastered this move when dealing with the ball lightning tribulation, she wouldn't have been chased all over the place by it.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying this slewing formation would become if one continued to cultivate it further.

The Yan Clan God showered Lu Li with praise, his enthusiasm surpassing even that of when he witnessed Duan Xuanyuan's attack.

Duan Xuanyuan was currently recovering her spiritual energy in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array. She leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and pouted.

"Tch, what's so great about it? Humph!"

Despite saying that, her big eyes were fixed on the nine golden flowers surrounding Lu Li, never looking away, her eyes almost red with envy.

Having followed Lu Li all the way, Duan Xuanyuan had witnessed every step she took, and he wished he could disassemble these mechanical devices, decipher their principles, and steal a move or two from them.

But Lu Li's move seemed to appear out of thin air. Duan Xuanyuan had no idea where it came from and could only watch helplessly as Lu Li displayed her skills, gazing at her from behind with envy until his eyes reddened and his red beans turned purple.

"She must have gotten some benefits while I was in solitary confinement, and deliberately didn't tell me, keeping it all to herself. Tsk... How come this wretched disciple has such good luck!"

Chapter 404 Immortals Block the Gate, Crisis Arises Again

With Lu Li leading the way, the Ark of Creation continued its rapid advance, activating the Titanium Yttrium Golden Flower Array more than ten times in succession. Each time, it advanced more than a hundred miles, and after more than ten times, the Ark of Creation had advanced a total of two thousand miles.

"You old codger, it's your turn now."

"So fast?! I haven't even had a proper rest yet."

"Just go when I tell you to, why are you being so indecisive?"

"Humph!"

Duan Xuanyuan reluctantly stepped out of the Spirit Gathering Array and cleared the way for the Ark of Creation. In this way, Lu Li and Duan Xuanyuan took turns going into battle.

Whether it was activating the Ark of Creation or restoring the spiritual power of Lu Li and Duan Xuanyuan, both required consuming a massive amount of spirit stones. The void was shrouded in darkness, causing everyone to almost lose their sense of time.

Only when the spirit stones on the ship gradually decreased did everyone realize, in a daze, that time was slowly passing by.

One day, two days, a month...

Sixty percent of the spirit stones were quickly consumed. Qingkui immediately ordered that the remaining spirit stones be used to activate the Spirit Gathering Array to restore the spiritual power of Duan Xuanyuan and Lu Li, while the Ark of Creation would be powered by burning various spirit ores.

After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the distance.

That was a door, the gateway to the outside world of the grotto.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Victory is just ahead! Maintain your spiritual energy input and hold on a little longer!"

These words invigorated the spirits of all the Yan tribe members.

Since their birth, the Yan people have been trapped in the Busheng Cave Heaven and unable to leave. Therefore, this moment is one that will be recorded in history. It is a great step forward for the Yan people's civilization and a new starting point for it.

Lu Li looked solemn because she knew that Qing Kui's words were only meant to boost morale; getting out was only the first step, and escaping successfully was the key.

The three major powers, Lingxi Sect, Xuegong Sect, and Tongxian Sect, must still be outside. We don't know what kind of formation they have set up, waiting for them to come out.

There is more than one entrance to the cave, and Qingkui chose the most hidden one. The only hope is that the three forces have not discovered this entrance at all.

Having reached this point, the spatial turbulence has almost disappeared, and the Yu Dao protective array can completely withstand it.

Even though they had already reached the cave entrance, the Creation Ark suddenly stopped.

Before the Heaven-Opening Axe was raised again and the Heaven-Opening Ark launched its final charge, Qingkui ordered the troops to regroup on the spot and prepare to meet the challenges from the outside world.

The enormous ark stood motionless in the vast void. The Yan Clan worked together, using the stored spiritual materials to repair the magic arrays and mechanisms on the ship. Three days later, the Ark of Creation was repaired, and Lu Li and Duan Xuanyuan's spiritual power returned to its peak state.

"This is the final blow! Retreat, prepare the Heaven-Opening Axe..."

The Heaven-Opening Axe was raised high, and the spiritual energy center hummed incessantly. The Heaven-Opening Ark retreated ten miles, creating some distance between itself and the gate, thus allowing it to better accumulate power.

"Heaven-Opening Axe, activate!"

At Qingkui's command, the Ark of Creation shot out, without any further hesitation, charging forward relentlessly.

boom!

The barrier ahead was incredibly solid. This attack only managed to create a small opening. Since one attempt wasn't enough, the Ark of Creation retreated a second time and then launched another charge.

boom!

After the second impact, the cracks in the void gradually widened, resembling a spider web.

"The last time!"

The Ark of Creation retreated for the third time and launched its third charge. This time, the void could no longer hold on and shattered with a crash!

The light ahead grew increasingly blinding, and the Yan tribe members squinted as a brand new world unfolded before their eyes.

However, what appeared before them was not the birdsong and fragrant flowers they had imagined, but an endless desert.

Above the desert, there were more than a dozen starships, with countless cultivators standing in mid-air, casting hostile gazes and staring intently at those below.

Judging from the clothing of these cultivators and the shape of their star rafts, it is not difficult to tell that these people come from the Lingxi Sect, the Xuegong Sect, and the Tongxian Sect.

At this moment, a tall puppet emerged from the Tongxian Sect.

“The True Lord is indeed wise, having already been predicted that you would come out from here… My name is Tu Shen. Surrender, release my followers, and serve my sect from now on, and I may spare your lives.”

As he spoke, the aura of the Void Refinement Realm erupted from his body, making it difficult for the Yan Clan members to breathe. His mechanical eyes swept over each of the Yan Clan members, as if searching for something.

Several years ago, this person came to this desert to search for the whereabouts of the deer pear, and now he has finally succeeded.

Lu Li possesses a keen mind for escaping, making it difficult to detect her presence using ordinary methods of fate.

However, no one from the Yan Clan was cunning. If the target were changed to the Yan Clan, and given that the Tongxian Sect had been deep in the cave for many years and had a wealth of intelligence, it would not be difficult to deduce their whereabouts.

Qingkui stepped forward, facing the countless human cultivators with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Fellow Daoists from the outside world, please calm down. I know why you have come here. Your people are currently in our hands. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat? If you are willing to let us leave, we can return all the prisoners to you."

The humans captured in the war are now imprisoned in the Ark. This is a trump card prepared in advance. As long as these hostages are in hand, they will not dare to make any rash moves.

This included more than 300 people from the Lingxi Sect, more than 600 people from the Xuegong Sect, and more than 100 people from the Tongxian Sect.

The Blood Mercury Sect was the most unfortunate, as they were unaware of Lu Li's strength at the time and suffered the greatest losses, resulting in the largest number of prisoners. In contrast, when the Azure Vein and the Unifying Immortal Sect were engaged in a major battle, the opposing side was already prepared, and most of their experts had already withdrawn from the Divination Saint Cave Heaven, thus resulting in the fewest prisoners.

The vast battlefield fell silent. The powerful figures from the three forces exchanged glances, seemingly having already reached some kind of agreement.

Tu Shen remained unmoved, still standing in mid-air, while the Blood Mercury Sect and the Spirit Tin Sect each sent a Supreme Elder to come forward and negotiate with the Azure Puppet.

Two hours later, both sides made a vow, and the Yan tribe released the prisoners.

Throughout their journey through the void, the prisoners were imprisoned in a dungeon and thrown around until they were completely disoriented. When they were released, they were utterly exhausted.

The Lingxi Sect and the Xuegong Sect each took their disciples and elders away, maneuvering their star rafts to depart. Half an hour passed after the star rafts had all flown far away and completely disappeared from sight. Tu Shen looked to the side and coldly said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiao—shall we begin?"

"Hehehe, this is the moment I've been waiting for! You dare to capture my disciple? Don't even think about leaving so easily!"

The voice belonged to an old woman in red robes, who also exuded a terrifying aura of the Void Refinement Realm. Seeing that something was wrong, a member of the Yan Clan couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you want your prisoners anymore?"

Tu Shen roared to the sky, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Hahahaha! What a joke! Those hundred-odd believers were loyal to my religion, and it is their honor to die for it today. As for you foreign races, not one of you will leave here today!"

Chapter 405 The Melee Begins

The Tongxian Sect's decision to abandon the prisoners, refuse peace talks, and immediately start a war was something Lu Li never expected.

Lu Li thought about it again and realized that the Tongxian Sect's choice was not incomprehensible.

Firstly, the Yan Clan currently has only a few hundred prisoners of the Tongxian Sect under their control. In comparison, if they could take over all of the Yan Clan members...

Secondly, Lingxi Sect and Xuegong Sect are not only sects, but are also controlled by various families. With blood ties as a bond, when a large number of disciples are captured, the most anxious people will definitely be the blood relatives within the sect.

The Tongxian Sect is completely different. It is a mixed bag, with far more believers than the Lingxi Sect and the Xuegong Sect, and most of these believers do not have stable family ties.

Even in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Tongxian Sect, these believers were more like tools.

The old woman in red robes surnamed Jiao was the first to make a move. She summoned her avatar first. This avatar had a strange shape, was a hundred feet long, dark red all over, shaped like a carp, and had a mouth full of white fangs as sharp as knives, gleaming with a chilling light.

The moment this avatar appeared on the battlefield, a dense, almost tangible aura of blood rushed towards them.

Despite their completely different appearances, the style of this avatar alone is reminiscent of the Blood Moon War Puppet of the Blood Mercury Sect.

Lu Li was quite familiar with the Blood Mercury Sect's methods and recognized the origin of this Dharma body at a glance.

"Blood Mercury Sect? Do you intend to break your oath?"

"Hehehe, I left the sect a year ago. The Blood Mercury Sect made a vow with you. What does that have to do with me?"

The Yan tribe was outraged by the other side's despicable and shameless behavior.

"How could they do that?! That's utterly despicable and shameless!"

"Rules are made by the strong. How dare you question me?"

After saying that, the blood-red carp opened its mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood mist. The Ark of Creation immediately deployed its protective shield to block the blood mist.

"Hmm? Your starship is somewhat interesting, but it's not quite there yet!"

Click click click!

The protective array, which was originally indestructible and could even withstand spatial turbulence, now showed countless spiderweb-like cracks under the impact of the blood mist.

The opponent's move was to use the Blood Dao Dao Mark to impact the Universe Dao Dao Mark within the formation.

Lu Li had seen this move before; the Blood Moon Giant had used it before. This move was called Blood Mercury Poison Mist, and it had caused Lu Li quite a bit of trouble back then.

The person before him, being a Void Refining Realm cultivator and a former Supreme Elder of the Blood Mercury Sect, had a more thorough understanding of this move. Whether it was the purity of the poisonous mist or the number of Dao traces, it was several times greater.

Under such circumstances, the protective array will eventually be completely eroded.

Lu Li made a quick decision and summoned Duan Xuanyuan.

"Come out, Duan Xuanyuan, use the Sacrifice Charge!"

"I've already said, I don't have that kind of supernatural power!"

"In short... just rush up and bite her like crazy, bite her to death!"

With a dark expression, Duan Xuanyuan stepped out of the protective array. He then activated his ice-based power, condensing a ball of cold air. This cold air collided with the blood mist, and Duan Xuanyuan attempted to neutralize it.

One red and one blue, the two forces of blood and ice clashed and remained deadlocked for a short time.

Seeing this, a greedy glint flashed in Tu Shen's mechanical eyes.

"It's actually a sixth-rank puppet! I never expected that such a small divination grotto-heaven could produce a sixth-rank puppet. I'm getting more and more excited."

"If I could offer it to the True Lord, I would certainly receive a great deal of benefits. I never expected to have such an unexpected gain while investigating the culprit."

Having said that, the supernatural power flew out like an arrow, its body rapidly expanding in mid-air, instantly transforming into a giant hundreds of feet in size. Taking advantage of the stalemate between Duan Xuanyuan and the blood-red carp, it reached out to grab Duan Xuanyuan.

Duan Xuanyuan was horrified and turned to curse:

"You unfilial disciple, are you just going to stand by and watch your master fight two against one?"
