Mid-Rank Magic Treasure
Three months later.
The roars of Demon Beast echoed as a large group of Demon Beast left the Demonic Qi Well and charged to the edge of the Demonic Qi area, launching an attack on the Demon-Slaying Alliance cultivators.
Seeing that neither the Holy Mother Wusheng nor Shangguan Xiong appeared, he calmed his mind and continued to refine the Four Symbols Seal.
Under the command of the four Vice Alliance Leader, the Demon-Slaying Alliance repelled this wave of attacks from the Demon Beast.
The battle lasted for an hour, and both sides suffered casualties.
Inside the Demonic Qi Well.
After listening to Yu Tiangong's report, the Holy Mother Wusheng also sneered.
This time, she sent out Demon Beast only to test the Demon-Slaying Alliance and see if Shangguan Xiong would show up. As she predicted, the old man did not appear.
This means that Shangguan Xiong's injury from last time has not yet healed.
The great array she set up isolated most of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Normal cultivators would be affected in their healing and cultivation in the Demonic Qi. If this continued, none of the Demon-Slaying Alliance members could hold out for long.
"Every so often, we send out Demon Beast to wear them down."
The Holy Mother Wusheng gave her instructions.
"Yes."
Yu Tiangong accepted the order and left.
The Holy Mother Wusheng flew into the Demonic Qi Well formation and landed in front of that enormous creature.
This is a black giant, with a strange and ferocious appearance, like a demon king descended to earth.
Seated on the chest of this giant was a Black Buddha Black Buddha, its body radiating a flickering black light that continuously drew blood from the black giant.
"Once my Black Flame Earth Buddha is fully refined, it will leap from a top-tier Law Artifact to a mid-tier Law Treasure. What will Shangguan Xiong use to fight against me then?"
The Holy Mother Wusheng let out a cold laugh.
As a member of the Shangguan Lineage, she guessed that Shangguan Xiong was very likely to refine the Four Symbols Seal. She was not worried, after all, the Four Symbols Seal would only be a low-grade Law Treasure.
He was no match for her Black Flame Earth Buddha.
Staring at the black giant, the Holy Mother Wusheng's eyes glazed over, and she murmured, "Ancient Demon, oh Ancient Demon, if I had enough time, I would refine your body into a puppet, and killing Shangguan Xiong would be as easy as taking candy from a baby..."
After saying that.
She gave a wry smile.
Refining the corpse of Ancient Demon would take decades to succeed. If she couldn't quickly deal with Shangguan Xiong, and things dragged on, Great Qin would likely arrive.
At that point, she had no choice but to abandon the Ancient Demon's corpse and flee.
Under the orders of the Holy Mother Wusheng, the Black Lotus Sect launched attacks on the Demon-Slaying Alliance from time to time. After a series of fierce battles, the number of members in the Demon-Slaying Alliance was reduced from more than a thousand to just over five hundred.
Although Chen Changming and Luo Lan, this pair of senior and junior siblings, participated in every battle, they were actually just there for show, going through the motions but not putting in any real effort, with survival being their top priority.
Shangguan Xiong never showed up.
The same applies to the Holy Mother Wusheng.
These two Golden Core experts seem to have vanished without a trace.
Chen Changming stood inside the cave abode, gazing up at the dark Demonic Qi, feeling a sense of oppression in his heart.
Spending years in this Demonic Qi environment, in complete darkness, even with his resolute mind, caused him to feel a sense of anxiety.
"The real decisive battle is probably just around the corner..."
Chen Changming secretly made his own guess.
Both Shangguan Xiong and Holy Mother Wusheng were racing against time; whoever could forge the treasure first would have the advantage of striking first.
One month later.
Inside Shangguan Xiong's cave abode, four-colored light flashed, and a powerful aura spread out, but it was blocked by the formation outside the cave abode and did not spread out.
"Haha, the Four Symbols Seal is complete!"
Looking at the small four-colored seal in front of him, each side of which had a pattern of a mythical beast, a smile appeared on Shangguan Xiong's face.
Even though the Four Symbols Seal is a low-grade Law Treasure, its power is still immense.
He was confident he could defeat the Holy Mother Wusheng.
If one were to pay a certain price and activate this treasure with their own Essence Blood, they could even kill the Holy Mother Wusheng.
Inside the Demonic Qi Well.
The Black Flame Earth Buddha suddenly stopped flashing and floated out of thin air to the front of the Holy Mother Wusheng.
The Holy Mother Wusheng scanned the area with her Divine Sense and was immediately filled with both surprise and joy.
This secret treasure of the Black Lotus Sect is truly heaven-defying; after absorbing the blood of Ancient Demon, it automatically upgraded to a mid-tier Law Treasure.
On the black Buddha body, there is an additional layer of fine Buddha Patterns.
It makes it look very eerie.
"Shangguan Xiong, you are doomed to die today!"
The Holy Mother Wusheng took in the Black Flame Earth Buddha, flew out of the Demonic Qi Well, and issued the order to attack.
The Demon Beast army and the surviving members of the Black Lotus Sect surged towards the Demon-Slaying Alliance like a black torrent.
The Holy Mother Wusheng floats above the torrent.
Before long, this large army arrived at the edge of the Demonic Qi zone and confronted the Demon-Slaying Alliance army.
A long rainbow shot out from the cave abode.
Shangguan Xiong saw that the Holy Mother Wusheng had personally come out, a cruel look flashed across his face.
"Shangguan Xiong, come and fight!"
The Holy Mother Wusheng flew towards a distant valley, and Shangguan Xiong followed closely behind.
The duel between the two Golden Core cultivators was too powerful, and they didn't want their subordinates to become innocent cannon fodder.
With a wave of her hand, the Holy Mother Wusheng conjured a Black Buddha from thin air, which rapidly grew larger, its body shrouded in Demonic Qi.
"Shangguan Wan'er, you have fallen into the demonic path. How can you face the ancestors of the Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Xiong's pupils contracted, and he questioned loudly.
"Heh, we're both from the Shangguan clan, yet you slaughtered my entire family. I'm no longer a member of the Shangguan family; I'm the leader of the Black Lotus Sect, the ninth-generation successor of the Black Buddha Sect!"
Shangguan Wan'er sneered.
"Black Buddha Sect?"
Shangguan Xiong was taken aback, his mind racing, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
"The Black Buddha Sect was destroyed in the Great Qin three thousand years ago. How did you obtain its inheritance?"
No comment.
The Holy Mother Wusheng sneered, and with her Divine Sense, she controlled the Black Flame Earth Buddha to attack Shangguan Xiong.
This black Buddha statue is three zhang tall, with extremely evil features. It raises one hand, and black light shines from its palm.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
Shangguan Xiong unleashed the Four Symbols Seal, which rapidly expanded, and a somewhat ethereal azure Azure Dragon flew out from it, reaching for the black light.
Boom!
The black light was torn apart.
As Black Buddha approached, he threw a punch at Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon was not to be outdone, extending its claws to clash head-on with the Black Buddha.
Boom!
The black Buddha Patterns remained unmoved, but the Azure Dragon seemed somewhat ethereal, letting out a mournful cry before returning to the Four Symbols Seal.
"Hmm, is this a mid-tier treasure?"
Sensing the changes in the Four Symbols Seal, Shangguan Xiong was somewhat shocked.
This Black Buddha is different from ordinary treasures. He could not judge its grade by aura and Divine Sense alone, but judging from the feedback of the Four Symbols Seal, this Black Buddha is extremely powerful and is actually a mid-grade Law Treasure!
Several miles outside the valley, the sounds of battle were deafening, and blood flowed like a river.
The Demon-Slaying Alliance and the Black Lotus Sect clashed once again, but Chen Changming, who was the weakest member of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, had quietly left the battlefield and appeared a mile away from the valley where the two Golden Core Realm experts were fighting.
Hidden in the dense jungle, Chen Changming concealed his aura, remaining as steadfast as a rock, and intently watched the battle between the two Golden Core Realm experts.
When Chen Changming heard Shangguan Xiong say that the Black Buddha was a mid-level Law Treasure, he was extremely shocked.
