The Flame Alliance

Buzz!

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on a large boulder, still as an old monk in meditation. A faint glow emanated from his chest, ancient patterns seemingly converging to form the image of a dragon and elephant.

However, the light patterns were forming the image far too slowly. It would likely take at least a month to condense the Dragon Elephant Spirit.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and thought of a way to increase efficiency.

With a wave of his hand, he took out all the spirit stones and piled them around him. By utilizing the power contained within the spirit stones, he could further increase the spiritual energy density.

Of course, these spirit stones only served an auxiliary role. The most crucial part was the next step. He quickly formed hand seals and then circulated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art. The black hole in his Dantian erupted with terrifying suction.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, all the spiritual energy from the outer perimeter of Dragon Fall Ravine was drawn in continuously. The spirit stones piled around him were also rapidly drained of their spiritual power, turning into piles of powdery residue.

As expected, under the enhancement of the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, waves of majestic power continuously converged and quickly integrated into Lu Changsheng's chest.

On his chest, light patterns crisscrossed, constantly outlining and quickly forming two clear patterns.

Roar!

A high-pitched dragon's roar and a powerful elephant's trumpet emanated from Lu Changsheng's chest. Two golden patterns appeared on his chest – the Dragon Elephant Spirit!

The true dragon was mighty and domineering, the sacred elephant auspicious and divine. The spirits of the two auspicious beasts condensed within his chest. These Dragon Elephant Spirits were not inanimate objects; they coiled on Lu Changsheng's chest, their majestic eyes blinking slightly.

The Dragon Elephant Spirits even moved around within his chest.

"I succeeded! I finally condensed the Dragon Elephant Spirit!"

Lu Changsheng looked down, a smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the astonishing divine power contained within the Dragon Elephant Spirit in his chest!

As long as he activated it, the power of the dragon and elephant would be unleashed, causing his strength to surge dramatically for a short period.

"Let me try and see the power of this Dragon Elephant Spirit..."

Lu Changsheng spoke, then clenched his fists. The Dragon Elephant Spirit in his chest activated, and an indescribable power surged from his chest into his body.

Boom!

Lu Changsheng stood up. His entire body erupted with dazzling golden light, his physique rapidly expanding. Veins bulged on his arms, as if his body was filled with infinite divine power!

"Such domineering strength!"

Lu Changsheng was secretly shocked.

At this moment, he was like a god of war. The blood within him boiled. His body was enveloped in golden light, and his clenched fists were filled with terrifying power.

Boom!

Lu Changsheng threw a punch.

Roar!

As the punch was unleashed, it was accompanied by the roar of a dragon and elephant. The terrifying fist energy blasted through the void, causing the air to crackle. Then, with a massive boom, a ten-zhang tall boulder turned into dust!

"It's actually this strong?!"

Lu Changsheng was dumbfounded.

The power of this punch was likely enough to instantly kill someone at the ninth level of the Core Condensation Realm!

"This Dragon Elephant Golden Body Art truly lives up to its Profound-tier martial skill status!"

Lu Changsheng was overjoyed.

However, he hadn't completely succeeded yet. After condensing the Dragon Elephant Spirit, he still needed to condense the Golden Body to achieve complete perfection.

At that time, the combined power of the Dragon Elephant Spirit and the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, coupled with the Dragon Elephant Divine Fist, would be incredibly terrifying!

Immediately, Lu Changsheng calmly sat down again. Following the instructions in the scripture, he formed complex hand seals and began the process of condensing the Golden Body...

Lingxiao Sect, Flame Alliance Headquarters.

The Flame Alliance was a small guild within the Outer Disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, possessing considerable prestige in the Outer Sect.

The founder of the Flame Alliance was Liu Yan, ranked fifty on the Outer Sect rankings.

Liu Yan was considered a genius among all the Outer Disciples, breaking through to the Divine Palace Realm at just twenty years old.

At this moment, within the headquarters, a red-haired young man sat at the head seat, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.

"Brother, you must get justice for me! This is the first time I've been beaten up like this in the Outer Sect!"

Liu Qingqing cried tearfully.

Her face was already swollen beyond recognition, with a deep, bloody palm print on her left cheek.

"Who is it! How dare they bully my sister, Liu Yan, and even strike her so ruthlessly!"

Liu Yan's eyes blazed with anger.

"Alliance Leader, I've already investigated that brat's background. His name is Lu Changsheng. He was once known as the greatest trash in the Outer Sect, cultivating for over ten years but still stuck in the Qi Condensation Realm."

"However, recently, this brat somehow stumbled upon an opportunity, and his strength has suddenly surged. He's even been promoted to an Outer Disciple!"

An Flame Alliance disciple spoke.

"A good-for-nothing, and he dares to lay hands on my sister? Didn't you mention my name?"

Liu Yan's gaze was sharp as a knife.

"Alliance Leader, we already announced your great name. We didn't expect Lu Changsheng to say, 'What is the Flame Alliance Leader worth? Even if Liu Yan himself came, I wouldn't fear him!'"

That Flame Alliance disciple added fuel to the fire, embellishing the story.

"Hmph! A good-for-nothing, and he dares to spout such arrogant words!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan became even more enraged. He was, after all, a strong cultivator ranked in the top fifty of the Outer Disciples. For a mere good-for-nothing to belittle him like this.

He truly courted death!

"Alliance Leader, moreover, that brat has quite a few treasures on him, and even a young Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion!"

The disciple in red added.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, a hint of greed appeared in Liu Yan's eyes.

The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion was a rare magical beast, and its growth potential was extraordinary. He was very interested in this young lion.

"What is that brat's strength?"

Liu Yan asked in a deep voice.

"Eighth level of Core Condensation Realm!"

A disciple quickly replied.

"Eighth level of Core Condensation Realm? With such meager ability, he dares to provoke my Flame Alliance? Truly a thing that courts death!"

Liu Yan spoke dismissively.

He had already reached the Divine Palace Realm a year ago. A mere eighth level of Core Condensation Realm was not even as good as a dog before him; he could suppress him with a single gesture!

"Alliance Leader, we have already investigated clearly. That brat is currently cultivating inside Dragon Fall Ravine!"

The disciple continued.

"Oh? If that's the case, then I'll let him know that Liu Yan is someone he cannot afford to provoke! I will crush him under my foot in front of all the disciples and show him the consequences of offending me, Liu Yan!"

Liu Yan's eyes turned sinister.

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's eyes were also filled with anticipation, and a cold smile curved her lips. Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng, your day of reckoning is near. I'll make you understand the price of bullying this young lady
