Immortal Abode!

Baiyan Mountain.

The battle continues.

The Tiger Demon Puppet besieged the Black Vein Great King, while a portion of the Foundation Establishment puppets were used to deal with the two Spirit Void Great Demons, White Tail and Pang Shan. All the lesser demons on Baiyan Mountain had already been slaughtered.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Tiger Demon Puppet was fast and powerful. The Black Vein Great King raised his Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe, flapped his wings and crashed into it. A faint Golden Light flashed, and he could smash a Tiger Demon Puppet to pieces.

In just a few exchanges, two Tiger Demon Puppet were destroyed.

"Puppets are ultimately too clumsy."

Lu Qingfeng observed coldly, fully aware of the puppet's weaknesses.

While sheer numbers might have some effect at lower levels, once you reach the Core Formation or Primordial Spirit, even thousands upon thousands of Foundation Establishment puppets or Spirit Void puppets can only confront them head-on, making them wary. Core Formation True Person Primordial Spirit True One, on the other hand, hold the initiative, coming and going as they please.

As long as you don't directly clash with the thousands of puppets, you can slowly wear them down until they are completely destroyed.

The side that controls the puppet can only passively take the beating.

"It can only be used as a supplement, not relied upon entirely."

Lu Qingfeng had long understood this principle and was aware of the limitations of puppets; now, he saw the drawbacks even more clearly. A cultivator's strength lies within themselves. All Outer Dao may bring temporary strength, but they cannot maintain dominance forever.

However, under the combined attack of the Tiger Demon Puppet, comparable to Spirit Void cultivator, and over a thousand Foundation Establishment puppets, the Black Vein Great King was also suffering. His Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe was repeatedly struck by the crystalline claw rays released from the tiger's claws. The number of Technique Method and arrow attacks he endured also increased. He could withstand it once or twice, but after ten or twenty times, he gradually began to falter.

After the nineteenth Tiger Demon Puppet was destroyed and the Foundation Establishment puppet was mostly destroyed—

Boom!

The Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe on the Black Vein Great King's body finally exploded with a bang.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Divine Archer Puppet seized the opportunity and unleashed a volley of arrows. The Myriad Forms Puppet, the Myriad Arts Puppet, and the Five-Element Puppet unleashed their Technique Method, enveloping the target.

"Oops!"

The Black Vein Great King frowned slightly.

Its form flickered, and it transformed into a butterfly. The butterfly's wings were yellowish-brown-orange, with black veins and edges, and two strings of fine white dots along the edges. There were some orange dots near the tip of the forewings.

It was the true form of the Black Vein Great King—

Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly!

Transforming into a demonic form, it appeared dozens of feet away with a tremor of its wings.

The Black Vein Great King, relying on his Divine Ability, the "Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe," possessed a defense comparable to Core Formation True Person, though his overall strength remained within the Spirit Void realm. Now, with his Divine Ability broken, he was immediately overwhelmed and lost his composure.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

"Continue!"

Lu Qingfeng ordered the remaining twenty-one Tiger Demon Puppet to charge at the forefront, followed by the Dharma Form, Xuan Jian, and other puppets. Thunderhawk and Vulture Puppet blocked the Black Vein Great King's path in the air.

Encircle them!

"Die, all of you!"

The Black Vein Great King, disheveled and in a sorry state, was instantly enraged.

With a roar, the Black Vein Great King's wings trembled, and beams of Golden Light shot out, sweeping away archery and Technique Method.

This Golden Light was as dazzling as the sun, inspiring awe and fear. With the appearance of this divine light, Myriad Arts ceased to exist.

All magical Technique Method were eliminated.

Sizzle!

With a hissing sound, the twelve closest Tiger Demon Puppet shattered instantly. These were all level seven puppets, comparable to those at the Spirit Void Grain Avoidance Realm. Yet, faced with this divine light, they couldn't resist for even a moment, turning into dust!

In other words.

The divine light unleashed by the Black Vein Great King could kill dozens of cultivators with a single strike if it were to be used against Spirit Void Cultivator; it was truly terrifying.

Apart from the Tiger Demon Puppet, all the level six and level five puppets around it that got close were unable to escape this calamity.

Nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment puppets flew back, their bodies broken and beyond repair.

"The Great Sun Nirvana Divine Light?!"

Lu Qingfeng was truly shocked.

Originally, it was thought that the Black Vein Great King was just an ordinary great demon, but who would have thought that he would first use the Divine Ability 'Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe' to reveal his divine beast qualities.

That's fine.

There are countless descendants of divine beasts in this world who have awakened some of their ancestral bloodline and mastered Divine Ability powers.

However, the 'Great Sun Nirvana Divine Light' that the Black Vein Great King is currently using requires an extremely rich divine beast bloodline to awaken and master. If the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly Tribe learns that he has only revealed these two Divine Ability, they will surely send experts from their clan to find him, bring him back to the clan, and train him as a direct descendant.

Perhaps it can cultivate a Mahayana True Immortal for the Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly Tribe, or even a Demon Race Earth Immortal who will ascend to the ranks of immortals.

"How could such great potential end up in such a poor and remote place as Tianxing Prefecture?!"

Lu Qingfeng's mind raced, and a flash of Radiance struck him. He couldn't help but look towards the Baiyan Mountain.

"A divine beast with such rich bloodline living in a place like Baiyan Mountain must be suspicious!" Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he controlled the puppet to launch a fierce attack on the Black Vein Great King.

Although the Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe and the Great Sun Nirvana Divine Light are renowned divine Divine Ability, the Black Vein Great King seems to have only recently awakened his bloodline, resulting in a shallow mastery of these Divine Ability and limited power. Furthermore, being only at the Spirit Void level, his Demon Power is limited. Prolonged use of these two Divine Ability has already taken its toll.

In particular, the 'Great Sun Nirvana Divine Light' attack just now was extremely powerful, but it was delayed in coming out, clearly indicating that it was being used as a last resort and could not be used continuously.

"Walk!"

Seeing the blood of the White-Tailed Great Demon and the Pangshan Great Demon spilled on Baiyan Mountain, the Black Vein Great King dared not delay any longer. With a flap of his wings, he broke through and fled into the distance. His true form was Black-Veined Golden-Spot Butterfly. Although he was not known for his speed, once he took flight, even the Tiger Demon Puppet could not catch up with him.

The Taiyin Calamity-Crossing Robe enveloped his entire body, ignoring all ranged Technique Method, and soared into the sky.

The Thunderhawk and Vulture Puppet were only level five puppets and could not stop the Black Vein Great King at all.

It vanished without a trace in an instant.

"What a pity."

Lu Qingfeng looked regretful.

The Black Vein Great King is at the Spirit Void Fusion Realm; the next step is the Core Formation King. Although he could suppress the Black Vein King by using puppets to outnumber him, he couldn't stop him once the Black Vein Great King sensed danger and tried to escape.

Limited by the puppet's limitations, Lu Qingfeng was helpless.

"Let's go up the mountain and take a look."

Without further delay, Lu Qingfeng commanded the puppets to ascend the mountain. The Black Vein Great King's strength rivaled that of Core Formation King, yet he dared to condescend to Baiyan Mountain; something was amiss. Lu Qingfeng ordered the Azure Butterfly Puppet and the Black Snake Puppet to search the mountaintop.

Before long, they discovered that the cave abode at the top of the mountain led directly into the mountain's interior. Immediately afterward, a barrier enveloped the area, obscuring the path ahead and revealing nothing of what lay before them.

"That must be the reason."

Lu Qingfeng hurriedly dispatched puppets to forcefully break through the restrictions.

The remaining nine-headed Tiger Demon Puppet charged forward, wielding its tiger claws to tear apart the restrictions. The Myriad Manifestations, Dharma Form, and other puppets followed closely behind, launching a frenzied attack.

"Boom!"

Deep within the cave abode, a series of deafening roars could be heard dozens of miles away from Baiyan Mountain.

"Huh?"

"What a fragile restriction!"

Lu Qingfeng noticed that these restrictions were easily torn apart. Although it made a lot of noise, it wasn't difficult to destroy them, and a passage was quickly opened.

In just fifteen minutes, the restriction was completely broken.

Wow!

A beam of Golden Light shone forth, piercing through the eternal sky.

A powerful aura was unleashed, Lu Qingfeng's pupils contracted slightly—

"A celestial cave abode!"
