382: Tongtian Lingbao - Eight Spirit Ruler

Seeing this, Mu Feng instinctively retreated.

At the same time, he activated the Vajra Shield to prevent any accidents.

However, he was clearly overthinking it.

The Formation only trembled, and there were no unusual sights or energy attacks.

“Caw…”

After about ten seconds, the trembling abruptly stopped.

The Spirit Ruler, which had been floating beside the Demon Race body, flashed with spiritual light and flew out.

As the Spirit Ruler left, the entire Three Spirits Subduing Demon Formation immediately vanished.

The Demon Race body in front of him clearly appeared in Mu Feng’s eyes.

This was a colossal creature, over thirty meters tall, with six thick, strong arms.

Although its head no longer existed,

its pressure was not weaker than the Ancient Demon that had just been killed; in fact, in some aspects, it exerted even more pressure on Mu Feng.

However, Mu Feng’s thoughts were not on this Demon Race body at the moment.

Instead, he followed the Spirit Ruler as it moved.

Because after the Spirit Ruler left the Three Spirits Subduing Demon Formation, it did not settle down; instead, it directly transformed into a deer and quickly fled towards the outside of the Celestial Wind Mysterious Wave Formation.

This Spirit Ruler seemed to have developed the semblance of an Artifact Spirit.

His target had finally reached this point, so it was naturally impossible to watch the heavenly spiritual treasure escape from his grasp.

With a flick of his palm,

azure Magic Power transformed into a giant net and lunged towards the deer, attempting to trap it.

However,

facing the capture by the azure giant net, the deer showed no signs of panic.

When the giant net was about to cover it, it accelerated and charged towards the net.

Such an action made Mu Feng momentarily stunned.

Was it… walking into a trap?

“Thump.”

As Mu Feng’s thought emerged, the deer charging towards the giant net glowed with streaks of azure light, and then, to his dumbfounded expression, easily escaped the giant net’s grasp.

This deer could temporarily turn its body into a void.

This was the first time Mu Feng had seen such a Divine Ability.

Fortunately, he was someone who had seen much of the world; he was only slightly surprised and quickly came to his senses.

The giant net couldn’t catch it.

Mu Feng reached out and flicked his hand forcefully.

Seventy-two Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords transformed into six small sword Formations, completely blocking the deer’s path.

This small sword Formation was a Divine Ability he had recently comprehended.

Its power was much weaker compared to the seventy-two large sword Formations.

However, it was superior in flexibility and incredibly fast in forming a Formation.

Most importantly, these sword Formations had a strong enemy-trapping effect.

As long as he did not actively activate the sword Formations to attack, these small sword Formations would only surround and not attack.

There was no need to worry about them attacking on their own and automatically disbanding.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

After a few sounds of air being torn, the path and retreat of the deer, transformed from the Spirit Ruler, were completely blocked.

Looking at the six small sword Formations around it, the deer’s eyes darted around, and without thinking, it leaped skyward, attempting to break through the Formation’s Seal from the air.

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

As soon as the deer leaped, Little Lizard, who had been waiting for a long time, grabbed it with a hand.

The deer was firmly and steadily captured.

“You Ruo, well done!”

Mu Feng patted Little Lizard’s head.

Then he turned to look at the deer.

After being seized by Little Lizard at its vital point, it had reverted from its Artifact Spirit state to its original form.

Mu Feng had only gotten a general look when it was in the Three Spirits Subduing Demon Formation.

Now that he held it in his hand, he could clearly see the true appearance of this Spirit Ruler.

This was an ancient, simple azure ruler.

It was engraved with eight different beasts: some resembled deer, some resembled Suanni, some resembled Qilin, some resembled fierce tigers, and some resembled turtles.

But without exception, all were Spirit Beasts Mu Feng had never seen before.

The Spirit Ruler struggled a few times after being caught by Mu Feng, then settled down when it realized it couldn’t escape.

Seeing this, Mu Feng placed a Restriction on it.

And planted his Divine Soul imprint on it, making it his own treasure.

He only needed to refine it a little more and add his Natal Essence Blood to make it usable for himself.

【System Reminder: heavenly spiritual treasure — Eight Spirits Ruler x1】

“It really is a heavenly spiritual treasure.”

Although he had a general idea of the ruler’s grade earlier, Mu Feng couldn’t help but get excited after clearly seeing its name.

After all, this was a heavenly spiritual treasure!

This was a treasure several grades higher than an ancient treasure!

ancient treasures were already so powerful; Mu Feng couldn’t imagine what something several grades higher would be like.

He gently caressed the patterns on the Spirit Ruler, then began to probe its information.

【Name: Eight Spirits Ruler】

【Grade: heavenly spiritual treasure】

【Effect: A Buddhist Spirit Treasure. Upon activation, the eight ancient Spirit Beasts sealed within the ruler will be summoned to assist in combat. Each ancient Spirit Beast possesses a powerful Divine Ability. Some are skilled at trapping enemies, some at speed, some at attack, some at defense, some at escape velocity, and some at illusion techniques.】

....

“A Spirit Treasure that summons ancient Spirit Beasts? Each Spirit Beast has a powerful Divine Ability? Looks pretty good!”

After reading the information about the Eight Spirits Ruler, Mu Feng immediately became interested.

From the red prompt, it seemed that the Eight Spirits Ruler had many functions.

It not only included attack, defense, and enemy trapping, which are common Magic Treasure functions,

but also less common functional attributes like escape velocity, illusion techniques, and speed.

Moreover, as a heavenly spiritual treasure, the Divine Abilities of these Spirit Beasts would undoubtedly be powerful.

Truly, one ruler is stronger than six.

“Hehe, this is a good item. I’ll refine it first.”

Mu Feng thought to himself.

He dripped his Divine Sense and essence blood into it.

However,

his smile quickly froze.

Because…

【System Reminder: heavenly spiritual treasures require a Nascent Soul to refine!】

Yes.

Because this heavenly spiritual treasure required a Nascent Soul to refine and use, even though his current combat power was no weaker than a Nascent Soul,

his Realm was only Nascent Soul Late Stage, and without a Nascent Soul in his body, it was simply impossible to refine this heavenly spiritual treasure.

“Alright, then…”

Mu Feng reluctantly put away the Eight Spirits Ruler.

He then turned to look at the massive Demon Race body.

The Seal had been lifted.

He could now take this Demon Race body away at will.

【System Reminder: Ancient Demon Body x1】

【Ancient Demon Body: The body of an Ancient Demon Race member, a top-tier Material for refining powerful Corpse Puppets, and also has some special uses.】

The information about this Demon Race body was similar to what the previous red prompt had given.

For refining Corpse Puppets and for enhancing the strength of Body Cultivators.

After a glance, Mu Feng

also took it with him.

After taking the items,

Mu Feng found that he seemed unable to leave.

Because he had entered by tricking the mysterious heaven stone tablet.

Now that the stone tablet had broken the Three Spirits Subduing Demon Formation, it had disappeared.

It seemed somewhat difficult for him to leave the Celestial Wind Mysterious Wave Formation now.

Fortunately, this Formation had two layers, an inner and an outer.

His current location was the inner layer, where there was no Tianfeng wind.

As long as he didn’t try to break out, he would be safe.

Mu Feng tried several times.

Finding that he couldn’t break through this Formation no matter what, he simply sat down cross-legged to Cultivate.

“Alright, anyway, my current points are already insurmountable.”

“And I’ve already taken all the good things here, so it doesn’t really matter if I can get out or not; in fact, it might reduce some disputes.”

“As long as I wait until the Tournament ends, I’ll be teleported out myself.”

Thinking this,

Mu Feng calmly Cultivated, waiting for the Trial Tournament to end.

He had just glanced at his trial points.

After acquiring the heavenly spiritual treasure Eight Spirits Ruler and that Ancient Demon Body, his points had reached a terrifying fifty million.

Looking at the second place’s points, which were only six million, Mu Feng felt that the other party could never catch up to him.

Interestingly,

the second place was not Wen Ze, but a newcomer who had never been on the Ranking.

He didn’t know if this person had been keeping a low profile before, or if he had obtained some Heaven-Defying treasure after coming here.

But none of this concerned Mu Feng anymore.

At this moment, he had already entered a meditative state through his cultivation.

The spiritual energy here was quite good, so it was a perfect opportunity to Cultivate properly and strive to refine his Core Formation Magic Power to its peak.

This way, as soon as he left,

he could directly attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.

....

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, over ten hours passed.

This five-day Trial Tournament was also drawing to a close.

【System Reminder: This trial will end in ten minutes. Please prepare yourselves and put away your personal belongings to avoid leaving them behind.】

Hearing the prompt,

Mu Feng also awoke from his Cultivation.

After over ten hours of Cultivation, some residual Yaksha essence in his body was completely refined by him.

At this moment, his Realm had already reached the peak of Nascent Soul Late Stage.

He was just one step away from breaking through.

“It’s finally ending. I wonder how everyone’s points are doing?”

“Let’s see.”

Mu Feng thought to himself and opened the points ranking list.

【Tenth Place: Li Xuan, Points: 5,008,167, Current World: 102】

【Ninth Place: Huangfu Zhengyi, Points: 5,315,643, Current World: 105】

【Eighth Place: Fifth Zhaotong, Points: 5,340,176, Current World: 96】

【Seventh Place: Cong Lin, Points: 5,491,182, Current World: 103】

【Sixth Place: Zhang Heng, Points: 5,502,185, Current World: 98】

【Fifth Place: Zhuge Zhantian, Points: 6,023,3195, Current World: 101】

【Fourth Place: Ouyang Lin, Points: 6,145,201, Current World: 107】

【Third Place: Wen Ze, Points: 10,066,206, Current World: 96】

【Second Place: Han Li, Points: 18,200,209, Current World: 106】

【First Place: Mu Feng, Points: 50,002,876, Current World: 108】

There were still ten minutes left until the end.

This was basically the final ranking.

To Mu Feng’s surprise, the second place was not Wen Ze but a name he had never seen before.

This person had been unremarkable for the first four days, but on the last day, he suddenly racked up over eighteen million points.

If Mu Feng hadn’t had a fortuitous encounter later, acquiring the heavenly spiritual treasure and that Ancient Demon Body,

it was possible that this first place might have been stolen by him.

He was truly both cautious and steady.

In the comment section below the points list, everyone was full of praise for him.

“Holy cow, I thought Wen Ze would be second, but who knew a dark horse would appear? Who is this Han Li? He seems really powerful.”

“Indeed, he’s incredible, directly pulling ahead of Wen Ze by over six million points, but it’s a pity Senior Mu Feng is above him, otherwise he might have succeeded in his sneak attack.”

“Sigh, Senior Mu Feng is truly amazing. In the early morning, when everyone was still in the millions, he was already over fifty million. There’s no competition at all.”

“I wonder what good things he got? To have so many points, I’m crying with envy, but envy is useless. It’s said that he single-handedly annihilated the Fireswarm Twin Devils and effortlessly defeated over sixty Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators who were besieging him. His combat power is probably already close to Late Stage Nascent Soul, it’s too terrifying.”

“It seems that after Senior Mu Feng advances to Nascent Soul, he should be able to go to the new map.”

“Sigh, that’s a place only grand Cultivators who have reached the Late Stage Nascent Soul level can go to.”

“That place is the core of the Cave World, where various Immortal Cave races emerge endlessly, and resources are also the most abundant.”

“But for him, it shouldn’t be a good thing, after all, while resources are abundant there, the corresponding dangers also increase a lot.”

“Hard to say, Mu Feng already has strength close to a Nascent Soul grand Cultivator at Nascent Soul Late Stage. If he forms his Nascent Soul, his strength might already be no less than Soul Transformation.”

“Soul Transformation, sigh, I can’t even imagine it. I heard he hasn’t even Cultivated for a hundred days yet. This speed is truly frightening.”

......

In the comment section, everyone gradually shifted from discussing the second-place Han Li to Mu Feng.

It was normal.

He could now be said to be the most dazzling presence in this Trial Tournament.

His fifty million trial points broke the highest score in previous Trial Tournaments.

His name was destined to become a legend of future trials.

After reading the points ranking list,

Mu Feng then casually opened his friend chat box.

There were already dozens of unread messages, all sent while he was in secluded Cultivation.

Mu Feng opened them.

The first one he saw was from Li Chenxi.

Li Chenxi: “Wow! Senior, you’re too amazing, fifty million trial points!!!”

Li Chenxi: “I admire you so much, you’re truly my idol!”

Li Chenxi: “Hehe, I feel like your first place is definitely secure, Senior, so we can also benefit from your perks.”

Li Chenxi: “Are you there? Senior, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Li Chenxi: “You didn’t die, did you? No change in points for over ten hours, don’t scare me, Senior, we’re still waiting to benefit from your team perks!”

Li Chenxi: “ 嘤嘤嘤?”

Li Chenxi: “QAQ?”

She had many messages.

The time intervals ranged from morning to evening.

She and Han Yuyan both hadn’t entered the mysterious heaven, so they were quite idle.

Mu Feng smiled after reading them and casually replied to her.

Mu Feng: “Don’t worry, I’m still alive.”

After sending it,

Mu Feng closed her chat window and shifted his gaze to the others.

Zhang Jingjing: “Senior Mu Feng, congratulations, you’re firmly in first place.”

Han Yuyan: “It’s already fifty million?”

Fan Tian: “Big Brother, you’re too amazing!”

...

Mu Feng glanced at a few.

They were basically all flattering remarks.

Mu Feng casually scanned a few and then closed the chat box.

There were still a few minutes left until the Tournament ended.

He needed to tidy up.

He couldn’t afford to leave anything behind here, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get it back.
