233: Lingbao - Umbrella for Breaking Disasters and Overcoming Evils

Gu Changsheng had always acted after careful consideration; how could he not have prepared his methods in advance?

'The Mountain Sea Turtle is at the Peak of the Profound Cave Late Stage... it is suspected to have the Bloodline of the ancient Dragon Turtle Baxia... As for the other Demon Kings, they are nothing more than that.'

With a flick of his finger, the vast power of the Formation descended like a mountain range, instantly crushing several Demon Kings in the Profound Cave Early Stage, such as the Moon-Swallowing Wolf King, who wailed and were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"When was this Formation set up?!"

"Damn Human Race!"

Roar! Roar!

The several great Demon Kings roared furiously, their bodies rapidly expanding, and their coarse, steel-needle-like black fur grew wildly. They simultaneously revealed their true forms.

Ferocious birds with wingspans of hundreds of feet, towering giant wolves... They roared and struggled to rise, Demonic Qi emanating from their bodies, forming dark clouds, forcibly breaking free from the Formation's restraints.

Suddenly.

Clang—

In the center of the Sword Formation, Sword Qi rained down, and sharp Sword Light enveloped the Void Realm. With the enhancement of the Formation's power, Sword Qi poured down like cannonballs. In the blink of an eye, the Demon Kings' muscles and bones were severed, and demonic blood flowed freely, turning the Holy Land of the Qingqiu Fox Clan into a demonic purgatory.

Since his cultivation had advanced to the Peak of the Profound Cave Late Stage, his magical power was ten times that of others at the same level. Now, even a Sword Qi that was originally of mediocre power became unfathomably powerful with the addition of a massive amount of magical power.

Dealing with existences in the Profound Cave Early Stage was simply a one-sided slaughter.

The situation changed so rapidly that even the three Late Stage Demon Kings, including the Wicked Dragon King, had not anticipated it.

"Human Race, die!"

"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains will not tolerate your insolence!"

Roar!

A dragon's breath filled with resentment roared forth, containing the wails of countless vengeful spirits and phantoms. It was unknown how many living beings this wicked dragon had devoured.

'A little interesting...' Gu Changsheng, seeing the resentful dragon's breath approaching, remained unhurried, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth. He suddenly slapped the purple-gold-red gourd hanging at his waist and shouted loudly: "Please Old Ancestor turn around."

Clang—

A Heaven-Slaying Sword Glow shot out from the narrow mouth of the gourd, growing with the wind, transforming into an arc that swept across the wicked dragon's body.

With a mournful shriek, a huge, rugged dragon head fell to the ground. From the cut, black-purple dragon blood gushed out endlessly, releasing countless yin souls from its body.

Gu Changsheng's palm sucked in, and a wisp of dragon soul floated out from the wicked dragon's head, squirming frantically in his palm, attempting to escape. Unfortunately, it was useless.

"The quality of this dragon soul is quite good."

Suddenly, the scene before Gu Changsheng's eyes changed. The surroundings squirmed like an oil painting, the scenery twisted, becoming colorful, and fierce fox shadows flew at him from all directions.

Illusion!

'Compared to my Dream Eater, how does it fare?'

Screech—

A purple bubble was spat out, and the scene changed. Two kinds of illusion energy collided in the Void Realm, counteracting and annihilating each other. Faint sparks of electricity were born, and a series of crackling sounds erupted.

Although the Dream Eater's cultivation was only at the Profound Cave Early Stage, its Innate essence gave it an advantage. In terms of illusion techniques alone, even the Qingqiu Fox King could not gain any advantage.

Gu Changsheng was about to make a move when a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. The Mountain Sea Turtle, one of the nine great Demon Kings, was frantically rushing towards the edge of the Formation, using its thick turtle shell to ram the Formation.

Immediately, the Formation, which had been stable in all directions, became precarious.

"Human Race, this old turtle does not wish to get involved in this matter.

Release the Formation, and this old turtle will retreat immediately!"

The Mountain Sea Turtle's straightforwardness immediately drew curses from many Demon Kings.

Unfortunately, the Mountain Sea Turtle's shell was the most important part of the tribulation breaking and calamity crossing umbrella that Gu Changsheng envisioned forging. How could he let it go?

Bang—

Finally, after the mountain-sized turtle shell struck again, the Formation arranged in the Void Realm burst like a bubble, and the Formation power suppressing the Demon Kings suddenly vanished.

The Demon Kings, who had just been cursing, scattered and fled.

A hint of Evil Qi appeared in Gu Changsheng's eyes, and a layer of gray Evil Qi appeared on his body, gradually transforming into a strange beast.

A ferocious cat-like beast with eyes like ancient gray wells, a body tens of feet tall, and four wavy tails behind it. Its entire body was between solid and illusory, like a ball of flame.

It was the Evil Qi beast hatched from the Evil Qi crystal—the Evil Qilin.

"Go!"

The Evil Qilin split into four, frantically rushing into the Void Realm. Soon, several screams were heard from a distance.

Gu Changsheng, on the other hand, took a step, and space seemed to be compressed, rapidly approaching the Mountain Sea Turtle that was fleeing to the horizon.

"Human Race, why must you press so hard!

This old turtle possesses the Bloodline of the Dragon Turtle Baxia, a spiritual seed of Heaven and Earth. If I fight to the death, even if you are a great Cultivator of the Profound Cave Late Stage, you will not gain any advantage."

'The Bloodline of the Dragon Turtle Baxia... In that case, I can't let you go even more.' A bright light rose in Gu Changsheng's eyes, and he said nothing, but his escape speed suddenly increased.

In just a few breaths, the distance between the two parties was already only a few hundred feet.

"Die!"

Gu Changsheng held the longquan sword, and a massive amount of magical power poured into it. Azure Dragon circled around the sword body. With a swing of the sword, Heaven and Earth seemed to split open with a huge crack. The surrounding clouds separated into two halves, continuously converging into the central crack.

With a bang, sparks flew, and the Sword Qi struck the turtle shell, leaving only a shallow white mark. With the help of this force, the Mountain Sea Turtle's speed suddenly increased, once again widening the distance.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was not angry but happy.

The harder the turtle shell, the better!

His escape light flashed, and he rushed forward, a purple Sword Glow shooting out from his eyes.

Wisdom Sword Technique!

This sword technique specifically attacked the soul!

As expected, with a scream, the Mountain Sea Turtle's speed stalled.

Indeed, this turtle had unparalleled defense but lacked means to protect its soul.

Dream Domain Law Realm, Wisdom Sword Technique, Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light... Seven or eight Soul Path secret techniques were unleashed in a row.

A few breaths later, the Mountain Sea Turtle was on the verge of collapse.

"You forced this old turtle..."

Roar!

The Mountain Sea Turtle suddenly stopped, its body growing larger as it swayed. A giant turtle claw struck out, like a mountain, continuously expanding in front of Gu Changsheng's eyes.

"Good timing!"

Gu Changsheng's hunting instinct was aroused. A bronze color appeared on his right palm, Qi and blood surged, and a giant palm print formed in the Void Realm.

Mahākāla Immeasurable!

Bang—

The powerful turtle claw collided with the palm print. Two completely opposite energies annihilated each other, and the resulting aftermath swept through the surroundings like a storm. Countless mountains collapsed, and trees were blown away.

In the aftermath of the light and flames, a huge figure crashed down, smashing through thirty-seven large mountains before finally stopping.

"You..."

The Dragon Turtle Baxia's Bloodline had the ability to support Heaven and Earth, and its Body Refining strength far exceeded that of Human Race Body Cultivators. Yet, at this moment, it suffered a setback at the hands of a Human Race Cultivator.

"The Baxia Bloodline... is still not as good as my Supreme Bone Bloodline..." Gu Changsheng smiled slightly, and another hundred Wisdom Sword Techniques were unleashed.

To deal with the Mountain Sea Turtle, Soul Path methods were still more effective.

In a short while, the Mountain Sea Turtle's aura vanished. Its body's Qi and blood were still surging, but there was no trace of a soul aura, and it had completely perished.

Gu Changsheng raised his hand, and the entire giant turtle corpse was taken into his sleeve.

Returning to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, he saw the bodies of the Demon Kings, having revealed their true forms, lying scattered on the ground, already dead.

The Evil Qilin and the Dream Eater were currently besieging the last Demon King—the Qingqiu Fox King.

Seeing Gu Changsheng's return, the Qingqiu Fox King was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"How is this possible! My lord, spare my life!"

"Die!"

Unparalleled sharp Sword Qi struck the Void Realm, and a ferocious fox head flew high into the air.

Gu Changsheng put away the demon bodies of the other eight Demon Kings, then unleashed thunder and fire to destroy the entire Qingqiu Mountain Range.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

"Young Master..."

The little Hu Niang pulled Gu Changsheng's sleeve, looking infatuated.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Ten years later.

Yuanlian Island.

Brilliant flames burned, and countless rare Materials such as mithril Ore, Mountain Sea Turtle shells, Moon-Swallowing wolf hair, and Dragon claws gradually melted, converging into a liquid mass.

As Gu Changsheng cast various incantations, the melted essence spread along the Dragon bones, covering the turtle shell-shaped umbrella segments.

After a long time, a flash of light, the temperature cooled, and the precious umbrella took shape.

"Dragon bones for the handle, turtle shell for the segments, and the umbrella bead with the painan stone as its core... Tsk tsk, with this, I should have over ninety percent certainty when facing the Heavenly Tribulation."

Gu Changsheng murmured.

Suddenly, the pretty little Hu Niang beside him approached, her aura enchanting, her tails appearing and disappearing behind her, captivating souls.

At that time, Gu Changsheng had killed the Qingqiu Fox King, purified the Heavenly Fox Bloodline within her, and obtained a bottle of Heavenly Fox essence blood, which he naturally bestowed upon the little Hu Niang.

Now, the little Hu Niang had completely digested it, and eight snow-white fox tails had grown behind her, bringing her closer to the legendary Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

"Master, what kind of Spirit Treasure is this? Its aura is so powerful... Does it have a name?"

"A name?"

Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then smiled: "This is a tribulation breaking and calamity crossing umbrella Spirit Treasure, with unparalleled defense. It is the best among the Spirit Treasures I possess.

It is called... the tribulation breaking and calamity crossing umbrella."
