A Chance Encounter with a Demonic Beast Undergoing a Tribulation

Returning to his senses, Ling Pengyun considered the formidable defensive capabilities of the Foundation Establishment scorpion demons' carapaces and decided not to take out any flying sword-type Law Artifact.

Instead, he directly summoned his Second Grade Middle Rank Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, and poured a massive amount of spiritual power into it.

The Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, which was originally only the size of a human head, suddenly swelled to six or seven zhang in size.

"Go."

The enormous Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl was incredibly fast, traversing a distance of one or two miles in the blink of an eye, before crashing down upon a scorpion demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Although the scorpion demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment used its defensive Divine Ability in time and triggered its Inner Core Divine Power to erect several defensive light screens in succession.

However, those defensive light barriers were easily crushed by the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, which contained a force of over 100,000 jin.

The scorpion demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment also had its head smashed open, but there was no damage to the rest of its body.

After its successful strike, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, still brimming with power, hurled itself at another Early-Stage Foundation Establishment scorpion demon.

This second Early-Stage Foundation Establishment scorpion demon was also unable to withstand the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl containing over 100,000 jin of force, and followed in the footsteps of the previous scorpion demon, its head also being smashed.

Yang Changxing, who was still somewhat smug and had single-handedly trapped all the scorpion demons of the entire Spirit Mountain, was immediately shocked upon seeing this.

"That pearl's aura is only Second Grade Middle Rank, yet it possesses such power. Could this Law Artifact be Higher Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item?"

"Cultivation Method that can carry the method of refining Higher Vehicle Lifebound Magic Item must also be a Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method that can directly lead to the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul Realm."

"The Ling Clan... they really have a good fortuitous opportunity."

Yang Changxing felt a pang of envy, for his Yang Clan also lacked Cultivation Method of this caliber.

Although he wanted to obtain the Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method of the Ling Clan, his strength was probably not enough to defeat Ling Pengyun alone.

Eleven years ago, during the battle against the Beast Tide, Ling Pengyun made a name for himself with his formidable combat power. Everyone in the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory knew that Ling Pengyun of the Ling Clan, with his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, had single-handedly killed several Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Demon Beast by relying on a combined Combined Attack Technique.

Moreover, Ling Pengyun's cultivation has now reached the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

The Ling Clan began to prosper again, and its Foundation Establishment combat power had long exceeded the number of people in two hands.

In contrast, although the Yang Clan's Foundation Establishment combat power has increased to eight in recent years, it is still slightly inferior to the Ling Clan in terms of numbers.

If Yang Changxing were to confront the Ling Clan now, he would likely be annihilated by the Ling Clan in an instant.

The Ling Clan now has the strength to become the number one Foundation Establishment Family in the entire Jing Province region, and even the entire Hundred Spirits Sect territory.

At the same time, Ling Yunhong and the others also launched an attack, bombarding the spirit mountain that was full of scorpion demons.

In just half an incense stick's time, the battle came to an end, and the scorpion demons in the Spirit Mountain were all killed.

The group then ascended the sacred mountain, collected the corpses of the five Foundation Establishment Scorpion Demons, and plundered the spiritual items within the mountain.

There are many spiritual creatures in the mountains, mostly various types of earth-attribute spiritual iron, as well as some immature earth-attribute Spirit Plant.

The abundance of spirit iron is also due to the fact that the Yellow Rock Scorpion can enhance the defensive capabilities of its carapace by consuming various types of earth-attribute spirit iron.

There were three to four thousand catties of first-order earth-attribute Spirit Iron Ore, four to five hundred catties of second-order earth-attribute ore, and dozens of immature earth-attribute Spirit Plant.

The five spiritual items were divided equally among Ling Pengyun and the others, while the corpses of the five Foundation Establishment Realm scorpion demons were all handed over to Ling Pengyun.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun, a highly skilled Second Rank Low Grade Artifact Refiner, forged them into various Law Artifact, and then shared the profits equally.

Just as everyone had finished looting the sacred mountain and were preparing to leave,

Suddenly, two bird-like Demon Beast cries rang out from the sky.

Everyone turned to look, and immediately saw two Kun Cloud Peng, each with a body size of over ten zhang, appearing in the sky.

This Peng's size is among the top of all other Demon Beast of the same level.

It is precisely because of this that this Peng is quite physically strong, and even when it lands on the ground, it can fight against some other Demon Beast of the same level who are also good at physical strength.

In addition, this Peng's flight speed is also top-tier among its peers.

When everyone saw the appearance of the two Kun Cloud Peng, they understood that it was because the commotion caused by the annihilation of the scorpion demons was too great.

The group originally intended to leave directly, not wanting to cause any more trouble by fighting the two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Kun Cloud Peng, so as not to waste time and attract more Demon Beast.

But Ling Pengyun looked delighted and called Ling Yunhong and the others to a stop.

"Long Xing Grand Uncle Changxing, Grandfather Mingtian, Ancestral Grandfather Yun Hong, Pengxing Clan Brother, please help me keep those two Kun Cloud Peng."

"Those two Peng demons are huge and possess Divine Ability Wind Cloud Escape Technique, which can disappear into the sea of clouds and become invisible. If we can kill those two Pengs and obtain their corpses..."

"I am fairly confident that I can forge a medium-sized flying boat of the Second Rank Low Grade."

Although he was strong, those two Kun Cloud Peng were Flying Demonic Beast, and their cultivation levels were both as high as the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

With his own strength alone, he could at most leave behind one Kun Cloud Peng; it would be quite difficult to leave behind two.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong and the others present all showed slight changes in expression.

Most of the flying boats on the market are small, capable of carrying a maximum of five cultivators. The Ling Clan's Second Grade Middle Rank flying boat is a small flying boat.

However, medium-sized airships are different. A medium-sized airship can carry at least thirty cultivators, and a larger medium-sized airship can carry a hundred or even several hundred people without any problem.

A medium-sized flying boat is extremely important for a Foundation Establishment Family. In the event of a battle, having a medium-sized flying boat is enough to bring a group of family members to provide timely support and turn the tide of the battle.

"Peng Yun, is what you say true?" Yang Changxing asked excitedly.

"Naturally, my Ling Clan has the blueprints for refining medium-sized flying boats. As long as Wen Nianling sister-in-law Wen Nianling and the Third Grandfather assist me, I have a very high probability of refining a Second Rank Low Grade medium-sized flying boat by relying on the materials from those two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Kun Cloud Peng."

"Furthermore, as long as my weapon-forging skills improve in the future, I can reforge it and upgrade it to a higher grade."

"After all, the main materials of that flying boat were taken from the two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Kun Cloud Peng, so the quality is extraordinary," Ling Pengyun said with confidence.

The Ling Clan family did not have blueprints for medium-sized flying boats, but the Cloud Mist Wen Clan did.

Since the end of the Beast Tide, the Ling Clan has prospered, and the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators has continued to increase.

The Ling Clan then threatened their good in-laws and obtained the crafting methods for several rare Law Artifact from the Cloud Mist Wen Clan through a business transaction. Among them was the blueprint for crafting a medium-sized flying boat.

As for the crafting method of the Cloud Mist Wen Clan's signature "Spirit Storage Magic Item," the Ling Clan did not forcibly seize it. The crafting method of that Spirit Storage Magic Item was bestowed by the Hundred Spirits Sect. If the Ling Clan were to interfere, the Hundred Spirits Sect would definitely have objections.

"Since you are confident, it is no problem for me and Mingtian to help you keep those two Peng demons."

"However, you also said that with those two Kun Cloud Peng corpses, you can only refine one medium-sized flying boat at most, which is not enough to share."

"I can make the decision for my Yang Clan. Those two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Kun Cloud Peng corpses belong to your Ling Clan, and the flying boat refined based on those two Peng corpses also belongs to your Ling Clan."

"However, you also need to help my Yang Clan kill the Demon Beast suitable for forging medium-sized flying boats, and help my Yang Clan forge a medium-sized flying boat as well."

"Are you willing?" Yang Changxing asked with a smile, taking the initiative to concede.

Ling Pengyun glanced at the Clan Head Ling Yunhong, and seeing Ling Yunhong nod, he immediately replied, "Okay."

With their opinions aligned, everyone waited in place for the two Kun Cloud Peng in the sky to arrive.

Once the two Kun Cloud Peng had entered within a mile or two of the group, the group also took out their Law Artifact.

Although the two Kun Cloud Peng were strong and fast, they were no match for the four hands and were quickly killed.

Ling Pengyun then collected the corpses of the two Peng demons and left the place with the others.

Time passed gradually.

In just half a month, Ling Pengyun and his group wiped out more than a dozen groups of Demon Beast with their powerful strength.

Over time, at least two or three thousand Qi Training Stage Demon Beast were killed.

More than thirty demonic Demon Beast at the early, middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment were killed, and five Demon Beast at the Foundation Establishment Completion were killed.

This day.

Ling Pengyun and his group had just wiped out a wolf pack guarded by a Foundation Establishment Completion Wolf Demon and obtained the sixth Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast Inner Core.

Suddenly, numerous black clouds appeared in the sky deep within the Purple Scorpion Mountain area.

"Tribulation Cloud!"

Ling Pengyun exclaimed in surprise.

"It should be that the place where the Tribulation Cloud appeared is the core area of Purple Scorpion Mountain region. It is highly likely that the one that triggered the Tribulation Cloud and attempted to break through to the Golden Core was a Demon Beast."

"But the Demon Beast was in a secluded place, and we don't know what kind it is."

"If that Demon Beast survives the Tribulation Cloud and successfully enters the Golden Core realm, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which is adjacent to it, will probably have a hard time in the future."

"This tribulation is a time of great trouble. In addition, we have obtained six Foundation Establishment Completion Wolf Demons' Inner Cores from the killing of this Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast. I can refine six batches of Small Hundred Spirits Water. The harvest is quite good. We should return now."

Yang Changxing, the oldest among the crowd, also noticed the Tribulation Cloud.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke steadily.

Just as these words were spoken, a tremendous pressure suddenly emanated from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky and flew swiftly into the depths of Purple Scorpion Mountain.

The appearance of this beam of light drew the attention of Ling Pengyun and the others.

With the help of the Aura Observation Technique, they could clearly see the object that had transformed into a streak of light.

It was a roc with Jin Yu all over its body, and on the roc was a middle-aged strong man wearing the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

"That roc should be the Golden Feather Golden Feather Great Peng, the guardian spirit Spirit Beast of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect at the Golden Core Realm. The middle-aged strong man sitting on it is probably the sect master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts True Person."

"The two of them came here this time to stop that Golden Core Demon Beast stage."

"However, our strength is still too low. It would be too dangerous for us to watch from here. We won't be able to witness this great show."

Upon seeing this, Yang Changxing actually smiled.

Ling Pengyun and others largely agreed with this.

When Golden Core stage experts clash, the aftershocks alone can kill Qi Training Stage cultivators or Demon Beast. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivator or Demon Beast that get too close will be severely injured by the aftershocks.

With everyone in agreement, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then stealthily left the territory of Purple Scorpion Mountain.

Not long after Ling Pengyun and the others left, a series of massive spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly emanated from the core of the Purple Scorpion Mountain region.

The group, who were stealthily moving, turned their heads and saw that the Golden Feather Great Peng of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts True Person were blocked by a Amethyst Scorpion Demon soaring through the void.

Although the Golden Feather Great Peng and the Old Ancestor Ten Thousand Beasts had the advantage in numbers, the Golden Core stage Amethyst Scorpion Demon was powerful, with an aura reaching the Golden Core Middle Stage.

"Unexpectedly, this demon has broken through to the Golden Core Middle Stage. This time, the Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Golden Feather Great Peng will probably find it difficult to stop that unknown Demon Beast from breaking through to the Golden Core realm."

Seeing this scene, Ling Pengyun sighed inwardly.

After turning around, he and the others quickly left without looking back any longer.

More than a month later, Ling Pengyun and the others returned to the Jing Province territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Upon entering Jing Province territory, Yang Changxing, riding a flying boat, asked Ling Pengyun, who was riding Wind Shadow Peng beside him.

"Peng Yun, what kind of spiritual materials are needed to forge a medium-sized flying boat using the corpse of Kun Cloud Peng?"

After Yang Changxing gave the corpses of the first two Kun Cloud Peng he killed to the Ling Clan, he decided that since the Kun Cloud Peng were large, the flying boat he made could carry more people.

He spent a lot of effort searching for traces of Kun Cloud Peng in the Purple Scorpion Mountain area, but only found a Kun Cloud Peng in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.

In addition, with turmoil about to erupt in the Purple Scorpion Mountain region, he abandoned his plan to continue searching for high-level Kun Cloud Peng in the Purple Scorpion Mountain region. He could only use the corpses of the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Kun Cloud Peng to have Ling Pengyun help him refine a medium-sized flying boat.

"Using the corpse of the Kun Cloud Peng as the main material, the auxiliary materials needed to forge a medium-sized flying boat are actually not many. Only three second-tier Azure Spirit Bamboo are needed. Although Azure Spirit Bamboo is bamboo, it is extremely tough and light, so it will not affect the speed of the medium-sized flying boat."

"Of course, if we don't have second-tier Azure Spirit Bamboo, even some second-tier Spirit Iron will do, but in that case, the flight speed of the medium-sized flying boat will be reduced." Ling Pengyun thought for a moment and then replied.
