The Primordial Magnetic Divine Light swiftly pierced through the void. This time, as it entered the Black Fog Technique, it perfectly camouflaged itself within the black mist, achieving a flawless concealment.
There was a muffled sound.
The Primordial Magnetic Divine Light struck right through the Horned Demon’s right arm, piercing it completely.
The intense power of the Primordial Magnetic Laws rapidly spread from the wound, causing the Horned Demon to let out a painful wail, attracting the attention of some newly-joined cultivators on the battlefield.
"A Tier Three Spiritual Artifact?!"
Feeling the fluctuation of the Primordial Magnetic Treasure Bottle, nearby Han Yunsheng squinted, taking a closer look at Lu Yuanshan.
Regarding this Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who was integrated into his team midway and rumored to have some connection with Master Yufeng, receiving his care, Han Yunsheng’s interest in Lu Yuanshan grew a bit.
Curious about Lu Yuanshan’s background and his actual relationship with Master Yufeng.
Now witnessing Lu Yuanshan casually using a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, he couldn’t help but scrutinize him further.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator usually only equips a Tier Two High-Grade Spiritual Artifact. Those who can equip a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact typically have an impressive background and a complicated history.
After all, many cultivators who have just entered the Crystallization Stage use Spiritual Artifacts that are merely Tier Two High-Grade.
While Han Yunsheng was interested in the Tier Three Spiritual Artifact in Lu Yuanshan’s hand, he hadn’t developed a mindset to kill for treasure.
During the demon-fighting period within Celestial Fire Palace’s territory, cultivator infighting would be severely punished.
Killing a fellow cultivator would bring doom upon oneself.
Moreover, Lu Yuanshan had a Late-stage Golden Core Ancestor, Master Yufeng, backing him up.
He is well-supported by the Celestial Fire Palace.
This young talent has unstoppable potential. If help is needed, it wouldn’t hurt to offer some assistance and build a good relationship.
In contemplation, Han Yunsheng urged the silver sharp blade to decapitate another Late-stage Foundation Establishment Horned Demon Race member.
At that moment, the Vajra Ring flew out. Under Lu Yuanshan’s control, it unleashed its Mountain Power, smashing towards the Horned Demon.
The immense majesty, combined with the Binding Power inherent in the Vajra Ring, left the Horned Demon stumbling as if stuck in a quagmire, rendering it unable to dodge, like a sitting duck.
Large swathes of the Black Fog Technique were dispersed by the Vajra Ring, unfurling towards the surroundings, making the Vajra Ring stand out in the black mist.
Seeing this, Lu Ping had no worries, having already predicted the battle outcome.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Horned Demon was smashed hard by the Vajra Ring, immediately crashing to the ground, its body shattered.
Only then did Lu Yuanshan recall the Vajra Ring, diving down to extract the Demon Bead from within the body.
This was his first Demon Bead.
The Demon Bead was the size of a thumb, dark in color, warm to the touch, and contained strands of Demonic Qi.
Demon Beads can be exchanged for merits.
After being unified collected by the Celestial Fire Palace, they can be used to refine Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts, effective in restraining Outer Realm Demons.
Successfully slaying a Tier Two Horned Demon gave Lu Yuanshan some insight into the attacking and defensive measures of the Horned Demons.
Surveying the surroundings, this area, being part of the Inner Sea of the Sea of Chaos, was located on a deserted island named Star Shattered Island.
This island is one of the major islands in the Inner Sea and one of the main battlegrounds.
So far, the first wave of Outer Realm Demons wandering on Star Shattered Island consisted of six races, amounting to about three thousand heads in total.
Over forty percent were Tier Two Evil Demons.
The number of C-level teams assigned to this battlefield reached thirty-nine, with new teams continually joining.
"I should try to kill some Late-stage Qi Cultivation Evil Demons to practice and collect some Demon Beads."
"For Foundation Establishment Evil Demons, target those in the First and Second Layers, as those at higher levels might be more challenging for you."
Lu Ping, floating over the battlefield, monitoring and filtering the strength of nearby Evil Demons, advised before providing the next direction.
"To the southeast, there’s one of the Black Demon Race, its strength just reaching the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, not difficult for you, go slay it."
Following Lu Ping’s directions, Lu Yuanshan glanced over, seeing that Black Demon Race demon, covered in blood, fleeing towards the outskirts of Star Shattered Island, attempting to escape the perilous zone.
Two early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator siblings were its opponents, about to give chase when suddenly three Tier Two Horned Demons encircled them, preventing them from breaking free to pursue.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanshan readily nodded, controlling his flying sword and intercepting the fleeing Black Demon from the front.
The Black Demon Race, resembling the Horned Demon Race in appearance though smaller and hornless, is renowned for its speed and excels at ambushes.
If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator were ambushed by a Black Demon of equal strength, the result would likely be disastrous.
One must always be vigilant of the Black Demon’s movements.
Additionally, it’s necessary to watch for other Black Demons potentially lurking around.
For Lu Yuanshan, this vigilance was unnecessary.
With Ancestor Lu Ping aiding him, there was no need to worry about the presence of additional Black Demons nor the surrounding cultivators’ numbers, strength, genders, or ages, all of which Lu Ping had already scouted.
In the case of any disturbance, Lu Ping would promptly alert Lu Yuanshan.
Deploying the Qingyin Flying Sword, Lu Yuanshan cast a spell, slashing towards the Black Demon with a Sky-breaking Slash.
The Black Demon, with lightning speed, managed to dodge in a single maneuver, gritting its teeth at Lu Yuanshan with a cold, sinister intent, filled with murderous intent.
Still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, having not yet mastered the Human Race’s language, the Black Demon growled twice in dissatisfaction before fleeing once more, clearly aware of the gap between itself and Lu Yuanshan.
Without even considering a confrontation.
Being directed by Lu Ping to slay this Black Demon, Lu Yuanshan wouldn’t let it off, pursuing it by stepping on the Golden Crow Sword and remotely controlling the Qingyin Flying Sword to strike again.
Feeling the pursuing Qingyin Flying Sword, the Black Demon displayed a fierce glint in its eye, cleverly dodging next to a Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator, using them as a shield.
Reluctant to harm fellow cultivators, Lu Yuanshan retracted his attack, steering the Qingyin Flying Sword upwards, soaring into the sky.
The Black Demon, seeing this, wore a smug expression, cackling as it continued its escape.
It didn’t anticipate a green silhouette suddenly passing overhead.
Immediately followed by a dark golden Flying Sword slicing down, fast as lightning.
At that moment, Lu Yuanshan had already employed Wind Thunder Wings, this flying spiritual artifact, enabling him to catch up with the Black Demon’s steps instantaneously.
Switching to the Golden Crow Sword, he slashed at the Black Demon with supreme speed.
The Black Demon roared angrily, and without stopping, sly as ever, continued to flee, its reason intact.
Lu Yuanshan pursued, empowered by the Wind Thunder Wings, his speed rivaling that of Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, becoming a blur of azure shadow cutting through the sky, rendering the Black Demon defenseless.
By now, three zhang behind, there were three Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation Horned Demons and one Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Nether Demon, he needed to cut them all down!
