Chapter 588: Beast Spirit Technique, Astonishing Four (Part 62)



Chu Ning raised his hands, and two different-colored flames shot out from his palms.

The dark purple Ziyang Spirit Flame, like a sun, rushed towards Luo Duanhai.

The azure Xuan Yin Blue Flame transformed into an azure lotus and headed towards Meng Xinghe.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, neither the Shadow Demon Spear nor the Annihilation Hammer, the two deadly weapons, were suitable for use.

If the Annihilation Hammer were to be used, everyone would know that this Spirit Treasure, now in Chu Ning's possession, would only bring trouble.

The Shadow Demon Spear was obviously related to the demon cultivators from the Immortal Demon World, so it was also not appropriate to use at this time.

Since that was the case, the Heaven-Earth Spirit Flame became Chu Ning's most powerful attack at this moment.

"Ziyang Spirit Flame!!"

Luo Duanhai, seeing the deep purple spirit flame rushing towards him, exclaimed in surprise.

This person seemed to be very familiar with the Heaven-Earth Spirit Flame, as he instantly dodged with a flash.

Meng Xinghe, on the other side, was somewhat perplexed by the Xuan Yin Blue Flame.

However, outside the Nine Transformations Palace, he had witnessed the might of the Primordial Fire Lotus.

At this moment, he could see that there was a slight difference between the two.

But he still didn't dare to confront it directly and instead used an Evasion Technique to dodge.

With this, Chu Ning's attack managed to repel the two renowned late-stage Essence Incarnation cultivators from the Skylid Continent.

This scene immediately surprised the many cultivators present.

However, they also knew that Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were just testing the waters.

Chu Ning was also aware of this, so he didn't let his guard down for a moment.

He opened his mouth and spat out the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which shot towards Luo Duanhai.

At the same time, a yellow Wind Banner appeared in his hand, and as he waved it, a yellow Earth Dragon rushed towards Meng Xinghe.

Although he was facing two late-stage Essence Incarnation cultivators, Chu Ning did not use the Spirit Infant Technique.

Although he didn't see any more cultivators from Heaven's First Sect or Ten Thousand Demon Sect, there were still many other cultivators from the Skylid Continent present.

It was likely that many of them were on good terms with the two.

If the Primordial Soul were to leave the body and the other cultivators intervened, preventing the Primordial Soul from reuniting with the physical body, it would be a disaster.

Seeing Chu Ning using his Magical Treasures, Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai also stopped holding back.

In Meng Xinghe's hand, a treasure appeared, resembling a small tower.

Its style was ancient, carved with various talismans.

As for Luo Duanhai, he now held a bronze-cast lamp-shaped Magical Treasure.

The lampshade was engraved with yin-yang symbols, and instead of a lamp flame, a green emerald orb sat on the lamp base, emitting an eerie aura.

The two unleashed their Magical Treasures, and the small tower rushed towards Chu Ning's Wind Banner, suddenly expanding and enveloping the Earth Dragon formed by the banner.

At the same time, from Luo Duanhai's Soul Lamp treasure, strands of green demon fire shot out, forming a bizarre array that covered the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ning split his mind into two.

The Five Elements Spirit Sword emitted a brilliant radiant light, resisting the enveloping demon fire.

All five of the Five Elements Spirit Swords were infused with Black Xuan Gold, making them impervious to even the true demon energy from the Immortal Demon World.

Although Luo Duanhai's Soul Lamp treasure was not weak, it was impossible to trap Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword with this demon fire.

As the Five Elements Spirit Sword shone with multicolored radiant light, the green demon fire began to dissipate and disappear.

At the same time, Chu Ning made hand seals, and the power of the Wind Banner, trapped by the tower, surged.

The tower, which had weakened the Wind Banner's power, now trembled violently under the banner's assault.

The next moment, the tower that Meng Xinghe controlled shot into the sky.

An Earth Dragon shot out from it.

Just then, a hand seal Chu Ning had cast rushed towards it.

The Earth Dragon, whose power had been reduced by the tower, suddenly seemed to be aided by the gods, letting out a roar in the air.

It then charged towards Meng Xinghe!

Meng Xinghe naturally wouldn't sit idly by, and as he made hand seals, the tower descended once more.

On the other side, Luo Duanhai, seeing that his treasure's demon flame was so easily broken by Chu Ning, was slightly surprised.

He then saw Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword swiftly slashing towards him.

Luo Duanhai pointed with his finger, and the Soul Lamp treasure shot out a stream of emerald green flame.

The demon energy and killing intent on the flame were astonishing, and in the air, it transformed into a giant mouth that swallowed Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword.

For a moment, the three of them exchanged attacks with their Magical Treasures, but none could do anything to the others.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai did have secret techniques, but Chu Ning, while using two Magical Treasures,

also didn't relax his attacks with the Ziyang Spirit Flame and Xuan Yin Blue Flame. Their intermittent flame attacks made the two of them very cautious.

They had to use various secret techniques to defend while occasionally relying on Evasion Techniques to dodge.

After dozens of exchanges, it was clear that the Five Elements Spirit Sword and the Wind Banner alone couldn't break through the defensive Magical Treasures of the two late-stage Essence Incarnation cultivators.

Chu Ning's eyebrows slightly raised.

"Not using the Annihilation Hammer or the Shadow Demon Spear, and not employing the Spirit Infant Technique.

These methods alone are not enough to truly threaten them.

They are too cautious of the Ziyang Spirit Flame and Xuan Yin Blue Flame, making it difficult for the two Heaven-Earth Spirit Flames to unleash their true power.

Moreover, Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai are indeed the strongest late-stage Essence Incarnation cultivators in the Skylid Continent.

In terms of strength, they are indeed superior to Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao."

Outside the Nine Transformations Palace, he was able to counter-kill Huang Kui, Lu Xuedao, Fan Zeixian, and three others.

The key to victory lay in the clever utilization of the restrictions on the stone steps. First, he used the Annihilation Hammer outside the steps to unexpectedly and severely injure Fan Zeixian, rendering him combat-ineffective.

After the remaining three left the stone steps, they swiftly eliminated the Ten Thousand Demon Sect Elder with the Shadow Demon Spear and the Annihilation Hammer.

Subsequently, facing Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao, Chu Ning employed the Spirit Infant Technique and utilized all his magical treasures.

Now, facing Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai head-on, not only were they stronger, but they were also more vigilant.

Without using the Shadow Demon Spear and the Annihilation Hammer, his two top-tier killing weapons, and without the Spirit Infant Technique, it was naturally not as easy as before.

"However, I still have some tricks up my sleeve..."

At this moment, Chu Ning calmly glanced at Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai.

Simultaneously, he feigned weakness, causing the Five Elements Spirit Sword and the Yellow Wind Banner to appear exhausted under the continuous attacks of their magical treasures.

The next moment, the two treasures broke free from their entanglement and flew back.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were astonished by this sight.

However, their treasures showed no hesitation and shot towards Chu Ning.

The pagoda-shaped treasure aimed directly at Chu Ning, while the green demon fire on the Demon Soul Lamp opened its mouth wide and bit down on Chu Ning.

Just then, a Mystic Turtle Shield suddenly appeared around Chu Ning's body.

A layer of defensive shield protected Chu Ning within.

Both the approaching pagoda and the green demon fire were blocked outside.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai, upon seeing this, immediately drove their treasures to launch an attack with all their strength.

The two even flew towards Chu Ning, closing the distance.

At this critical moment, Chu Ning, who seemed to only be capable of defense, had his hands emit two types of spirit flames—purple and cyan.

Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai were startled by this sight.

Up until now, Chu Ning had launched three attacks using these two types of spirit flames.

They had clearly experienced the might of these flames.

Even with their cultivation, they dared not underestimate these spirit flames.

To their surprise, after Chu Ning unleashed the two spirit flames, he did not attack them.

The Sun and the Azure Lotus shot out from Chu Ning's front, directly confronting the two treasures.

Before the two could react, the Ziyang Spirit Flame and the Dark Yin Blue Flame enveloped the Demon Soul Lamp and the pagoda.

Instantly, the green demon fire on the lamp was completely suppressed.

The entire lamp was trapped by the dark purple spirit flame, transforming into a purple beam of light, unable to move an inch.

At the same time, the pagoda above Chu Ning's head, wrapped in the Dark Yin Blue Flame, turned into a block of blue ice.

This move even caused Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe to temporarily lose control of their treasures.

Their faces changed slightly upon seeing this.

The might of the two spirit flames Chu Ning had just emitted was even stronger than what they had faced before.

Evidently, Chu Ning had been holding back earlier.

Realizing this, the two quickly formed hand seals to retrieve their treasures and launch a powerful attack.

But at this moment, Chu Ning also made his move.

Chu Ning's wrist glowed, and the Beast Spirit Ring shone brightly.

The next moment, a massive creature with a cow's body, dragon's horns, and covered in dragon scales appeared in the air.

"Earth Rhino Dragon!"

Almost simultaneously, they recognized this creature as a spirit beast from the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, and they were greatly surprised.

Just as they thought Chu Ning would command the Earth Rhino Dragon to attack one of them, another astonishing event occurred.

The Earth Rhino Dragon and Chu Ning simultaneously transformed into phantoms, merging into one.

When the Earth Rhino Dragon's phantom solidified into reality, Chu Ning's figure had already disappeared.

At this moment, the aura of the Earth Rhino Dragon had risen by a level.

Although it had not reached the Demigod Realm, it still gave off a feeling that surpassed the ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul.

"Moo!"

The Earth Rhino Dragon let out an unintentional beastly roar.

The next moment, Chu Ning's calm voice echoed throughout the sky.

"Since you two are so eager to fight, let's see how you fare against my Beast Spirit Technique!"

As his words fell, the Earth Rhino Dragon raised its head and opened its mouth, spraying silver thunderbolts into the sky.

Immediately, the area where Meng Xinghe was located was completely covered in silver thunder.

Simultaneously, flames flickered in the Earth Rhino Dragon's eyes.

Before Luo Duanhai could react, a raging fire had engulfed the area within a hundred zhang around him.

Of course, the Earth Rhino Dragon could not cast thunder or fire spells.

From this, everyone realized that the Earth Rhino Dragon at this moment was actually controlled by Chu Ning.

Sure enough, the next moment, they saw a giant sword and a flag shoot out, charging into the silver thunder.

It was the Five Elements Spirit Sword and the Yellow Wind Banner that Chu Ning had used earlier.

And their might was even stronger than when they had fought against the two treasures.

"This person has borrowed the Earth Rhino Dragon's magical power to enhance his treasures!"

Meng Xinghe's face flashed with surprise.

However, as the grand elder of Heaven's First Sect, he naturally had more than just his life-bound treasure.

He casually took out a round shield from his storage bag to defend against the two treasures' attacks.

But at this moment, being within the Thunder Stirring Eight Directions and facing the attacks of two treasures, he had no life-bound treasure to protect him, and even Meng Xinghe was temporarily at a disadvantage.

On the other side, Luo Duanhai was also having a hard time.

Just as Chu Ning launched his attack with two treasures, the Earth Rhino Dragon he possessed rushed straight into the sea of flames ahead.

Although this sea of fire didn't incorporate the Ziyang Spirit Flame, it was infused with earth vein essence fire, making its power formidable.

Luo Duanhai was withstanding the might of the fire, but the next moment, he was startled to see the massive Earth Rhino Dragon charging into the sea of fire.

He immediately unleashed several punches, sending waves of demonic energy rolling towards Chu Ning.

However, these black fist shadows landed on the Earth Rhino Dragon, only to be blocked by its earth-attribute defensive light barrier.

The Earth Rhino Dragon's speed showed no signs of weakening.

It charged straight towards Luo Duanhai.

Luo Duanhai's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, even though he was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, he dared not directly confront the Earth Rhino Dragon's charge.

He immediately used the Teleportation Technique to escape.

In Luo Duanhai's perception, this escape should have allowed him to shake off the Earth Rhino Dragon.

Yet, he didn't see the Earth Rhino Dragon's body sway slightly, disappearing from its original spot.

Just as Luo Duanhai's body appeared.

The Earth Rhino Dragon's massive body emerged from the void, and its sturdy front hooves struck down!

Void Escape!

The Earth Rhino Dragon itself couldn't use the Teleportation Technique, and it indeed couldn't catch up to Luo Duanhai.

But at this moment, Chu Ning was in control of the Earth Rhino Dragon's body! Using Void Escape, he appeared right in front of Luo Duanhai.

Chu Ning activated the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art and, with the help of the Earth Rhino Dragon's front hooves, unleashed several secret techniques from the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art, striking down!

Luo Duanhai finally reacted and immediately activated a demonic defensive treasure.

However, even now, it couldn't block the attack.

His body was struck by this powerful blow, and Luo Duanhai felt his magical power stagnate within him.

With just this one strike, he was already injured! Looking again, Chu Ning, possessing the Earth Rhino Dragon, charged forward once more.

Luo Duanhai's expression changed slightly.

He quickly performed hand seals, and a black barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.

Demonic energy swirled within it.

A large mouth seemed to open, intending to devour the charging Earth Rhino Dragon.

Chu Ning, possessing the Earth Rhino Dragon, coldly snorted at this.

Activating the Nine Transformations Body Refining Art again, a golden light suddenly appeared outside the Earth Rhino Dragon's body.

It then charged into the demonic barrier.

Instantly, the demonic energy in the sky gathered within the demonic mouth, biting down on the Earth Rhino Dragon.

But upon touching the golden light, it turned into black demonic energy and scattered.

The Earth Rhino Dragon effortlessly charged towards Luo Duanhai once more!

When Luo Duanhai saw the Earth Rhino Dragon's front hoof rise and strike again.

His expression changed slightly.

The defensive demonic treasure no longer protected his entire body but directly faced the front hoof.

"Not good!"

But at the same time, Luo Duanhai saw a yellow radiant light shoot out from the Earth Rhino Dragon's horn.

He immediately shouted in alarm.

However, it was already too late to change tactics.

He could only grit his teeth and use his magical power to withstand the attack.

The front hoof struck the defensive treasure, and the yellow light pillar directly hit Luo Duanhai.

Luo Duanhai's body flew backward again.

Having faced a combined attack from Chu Ning and the Earth Rhino Dragon, Luo Duanhai was also in a difficult situation.

However, he suddenly brightened.

He saw a figure flash and disappear a few dozen meters behind Chu Ning.

The next moment, a series of law seals continuously bombarded towards Chu Ning.

The newcomer was Meng Xinghe.

After encountering Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword and Yellow Wind Banner attack, Meng Xinghe used his treasure to withstand the first wave of attacks.

Taking advantage of Chu Ning's full-on attack on Luo Duanhai, he used a secret technique to forcefully break through the Thunder Stirring Eight Directions attack range.

At this moment, he was launching an attack on Chu Ning from behind.

In addition to the continuous bombardment of law seals, Meng Xinghe opened his mouth and spat out a slender flying sword.

It instantly transformed into a white light, even faster than the law seals.

The attacks were formidable, and any Nascent Soul cultivator would naturally think of dodging or defending against them.

But at this moment, Chu Ning seemed completely unaffected.

Facing Meng Xinghe's attacks, he ignored them.

Possessing the Earth Rhino Dragon, he charged towards the front, pouncing on Luo Duanhai.

Meng Xinghe's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, the law seals and spirit sword struck the Earth Rhino Dragon.

But the next moment, to everyone's surprise.

The Earth Rhino Dragon's yellow radiant light flickered, and such a powerful attack dissipated without a trace.

The Earth Rhino Dragon's body remained unaffected.

Two sturdy light pillars from the Earth Rhino Dragon's horn directly struck towards Luo Duanhai.

This scene caused Luo Duanhai's expression to change slightly.

Having learned his lesson from before, he naturally dared not confront the Earth Rhino Dragon head-on, and he quickly attempted to escape using a regular evasion technique.

But at this moment, Luo Duanhai suddenly felt spatial vibrations around him.

He couldn't activate the Teleportation Technique.

Luo Duanhai was extremely experienced in combat, and his expression changed slightly as he immediately activated his defensive treasure.

At the same time, he used a regular evasion technique to fly back.

Luo Duanhai was well aware that with his treasure's defense, withstanding the spell attack wouldn't be a problem.

But if he were directly attacked by the Earth Rhino Dragon again, he feared he wouldn't fare well.

"Moo!"

At that very moment, the Earth Rhino Dragon opened its mouth and let out a loud roar.

Accompanying this roar was a transparent sound wave that surged towards Luo Duanhai.

"Divine Sense Attack!"

Luo Duanhai reacted, aware that the Earth Rhino Dragon possessed a secret technique for divine sense attacks.

However, he estimated that his divine sense was not inferior to that of the Earth Rhino Dragon, and such an attack should not have caused him significant harm.

Instantly, Luo Duanhai erected a defensive barrier with his divine sense.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the transparent sound wave struck.

Luo Duanhai felt his sea of consciousness suddenly take a heavy blow.

Even with his formidable strength, his body staggered.

For a brief moment, he lost consciousness and nearly collapsed.

Seeing this, Chu Ning, who had merged with the Earth Rhino Dragon using the Beast Spirit Technique, flashed a glance.

"The Earth Rhino Dragon's divine sense secret technique may not be enough to injure the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

But with my God-Slaying Technique, it's a different story!"

Chu Ning, having truly merged with the Earth Rhino Dragon through the Beast Spirit Technique, now had a clearer understanding.

When a cultivator and a spirit beast launch similar secret techniques in unison, their effects can be superimposed.

Seizing the brief moment of Luo Duanhai's distraction, Chu Ning raised his hand, and seven black spirit drills shot forth.

Luo Duanhai, whose defenses had just been broken, was now suffering from a divine sense assault.

At this moment, he relied purely on instinctive reactions to control the treasures before him in defense.

The next instant, the seven spirit drills penetrated his defenses and embedded themselves in his body.

"Ugh!"

The powerful destructive force caused Luo Duanhai to let out an involuntary grunt.

The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect then reached out and patted his body repeatedly.

As blood energy and demonic energy swirled around him, infant-sized black skulls appeared on his surface.

These black skulls were hideous and terrifying, exuding an aura of evil.

As these black demon heads emerged, Luo Duanhai's face turned a few shades paler.

However, the seven spirit drills that had just penetrated his body were sucked out by these black demon heads.

Luo Duanhai, like a ghost, immediately retreated several dozen zhang away.

He then turned to look at the Earth Rhino Dragon possessed by Chu Ning, his eyes filled with shock and fury.

"Ten Thousand Demons Body Devouring Technique!"

Many cultivators who were watching from afar couldn't help but exclaim.

Their faces also took on strange expressions.

With Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe working together, Luo Duanhai was forced to use the Ten Thousand Demons Body Devouring Technique, the top-secret technique of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

This left everyone in disbelief.

Using this technique, Luo Duanhai's cultivation would indeed increase significantly, but his essence energy would also suffer considerable damage.

There were even rumors that overuse of this technique could lead to a certain degree of lifespan depletion.

Unless these demon heads could devour enough energy to replenish his essence energy.

Chu Ning, seeing Luo Duanhai's body swelling with demonic energy, was also slightly surprised.

The top sects of the Skylid Continent indeed had some tricks up their sleeves.

Chu Ning knew that Luo Duanhai, having just used his secret technique, was at his peak condition.

At this moment, Chu Ning chose not to attack. With a flicker, he vanished from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he had already reached thirty zhang away from Meng Xinghe.

"Moo!"

With the help of the Earth Rhino Dragon's body, another loud roar was emitted, accompanied by a divine sense attack using the God-Slaying Technique.

Immediately, the two front legs of the dragon began to stir.

In an instant, the sky was filled with thunder, trapping Meng Xinghe, who was about to retrieve his treasure, within the thunder once more.

The next moment, Chu Ning's thoughts stirred slightly.

Controlling the Earth Rhino Dragon's body, he charged into the thunder.

Just as the silver thunder was about to strike, Chu Ning, who had just arrived, waved the dragon's front hoof and stomped down on Meng Xinghe.

Meng Xinghe had witnessed Chu Ning's attack on Luo Duanhai and was prepared for his divine sense assault.

He waved his hand, and a jade talisman was activated, forming a transparent light barrier around his body as the first line of defense.

It was a rare Divine Mind Defense Talisman.

Although the talisman shield shattered upon contact with Chu Ning's God-Slaying Technique combined with the Earth Rhino Dragon's divine sense attack, Meng Xinghe did not suffer any divine sense damage.

Seeing Chu Ning's controlled hoof stomp down, Meng Xinghe immediately activated his shield to counter.

"Boom!"

But the next moment, Meng Xinghe felt a powerful force transmitted from the round shield.

His defenses were instantly shattered, and a powerful destructive force penetrated his body.

Before he could fully withstand this force,

The silver thunder in the sky had already condensed into a thunder sphere, slamming down on him with force.

Even with Meng Xinghe's formidable abilities, he could no longer withstand the consecutive attacks.

Not only did his face turn pale instantly,

But his body also fell straight down towards the sea surface under the relentless assault.

His plight was no less dire than that of Luo Duanhai.

The Grand Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and Heaven's First Sect, when faced with Chu Ning in a two-on-one battle, were both severely injured one after the other!

This scene left all the cultivators on the sea in an uproar.
