Slaying the Demon King, Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd
It stared coldly at Chen Nianzhi. If Chen Nianzhi hadn't seized the opportunity and forced it back several times, it would have already escaped and wouldn't have needed to come to this point.
Thinking of this, its killing intent surged, and it spat out a beam of azure light.
"Retreat immediately."
Seeing this, the crowd rushed to help while shouting encouragement.
This is the inner core of the Blue Lion Mastiff. Now that the Blue Lion Mastiff has broken through the False Core realm realm, its inner core is already transforming into Golden Core realm.
This inner core is already the Blue Lion Mastiff's most powerful trump card, its power approaching the realm of the Golden Core realm stage.
As the Blue Lion Mastiff Mastiff's inner core struck, Chen Nianzhi remained calm. He knew very well that once he retreated, the Blue Lion Mastiff would definitely seize the opportunity to break through and break out.
Because apart from himself, no one else could kill the Blue Lion Mastiff in one blow.
At that point, it could break through the encirclement at the cost of serious injury, thus gaining a chance to escape.
With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi directly summoned the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace. In an instant, a crimson sun appeared in the sky, pouring down fierce Scarlet Sun True Fire to burn the inner core of the Blue Lion Mastiff.
"Oh no!"
The moment the Blue Lion Mastiff saw the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace, its heart skipped a beat, and a look of despair appeared on its face.
After all, it was Tier 4 Magical Treasure. Although Chen Nianzhi's cultivation level was not comparable to that of a Golden Core realm cultivator, the power of this treasure was enough to severely injure or even kill a False Core realm cultivator.
Faced with the burning of the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace, the Blue Lion Mastiff Mastiff's inner core was severely damaged in just a moment and was swallowed back by it.
Immediately following, the Scarlet Sun True Fire swept in, and the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace descended from the sky, intending to capture the Blue Lion Mastiff within the treasure furnace.
Once absorbed into the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace, even Golden Core realm Demon King could be refined into a pile of ashes.
The Blue Lion Mastiff tried to escape, but the others intervened and forced it back, whereupon it was captured by the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace.
It's done.
Chen Nianzhi revealed a look of joy. After all, the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace was Tier 4 Magical Treasure, and the Golden Core realm Demon King might have to pay a huge price to break through.
However, once Demon Beast at the False Core realm is captured, there is absolutely no chance of it escaping.
He increased his Law Power to activate the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace, and in just a short while, the Blue Lion Mastiff inside was completely refined.
This treasure furnace is extraordinary. As soon as the lid opened, a Flesh Essence Treasure Pill, a near- Tier 4 inner core, and several Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure flew out.
The Flesh Essence Treasure Pill is made from the essence of the flesh and blood of the Blue Lion Mastiff, and consuming it can greatly enhance physical strength.
When breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage, the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are indispensable. A strong physical body can also increase the hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage.
After slaying the Blue Lion Mastiff, the group reclaimed Jiaoyang Mountain while simultaneously pursuing and killing the Purple Mansion Demon Race.
After a three-hour chase, Chen Nianzhi killed two more powerful demons, and the others also made some gains.
When Jiang Linglong returned with the remains of the Blue-Maned Lion King, she had finally cleared out the Demon Race from Jiaoyang Mountain.
The group gathered in front of the Spirit Pool on Jiaoyang Mountain and took stock of their spoils, discovering that they had actually killed nine Purple Mansion Demon Beast in this battle.
Compared to the extraordinary escape skills of the Purple Mansion Demon Beast, the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast were no match for the group, and more than five hundred of them were killed by Chen Nianzhi and the others.
This is the cruelty of war. When a war is lost, the chances of survival for high-level cultivators are not small, but for Qi Refining realm and Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is extremely difficult to escape.
After this battle, some of the Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion Demon Beast in Jiaoyang Commandery were able to escape, but the low-level Demon Beast in Jiaoyang Commandery fared much worse.
The entire Jiaoyang Commandery has been occupied for seventy years, and the number of low-level Demon Beast that have multiplied there has even exceeded one hundred thousand.
These Demon Beast, lacking intelligence, are unable to traverse tens of thousands of miles of territory. Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the major immortal clans of the Three Provinces, they can only become materials for alchemy and weapon crafting for low-level cultivators in the Three Provinces.
The benefit is that the price of low-level Law Artifact in the Three Provinces will drop significantly in the near future, which will make the next Beast Turmoil a bit easier.
After reviewing the results of the battle, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "With the Blue-Maned Lion King and the Blue Lion Mastiff killed this time, the next Beast Turmoil should be much easier."
"Yes, seventy years ago, Jiaoyang Commandery fell, and two members of my Qian Clan died in battle at the Purple Mansion."
"Time flies, it all seems like yesterday, and now we have finally reclaimed our lost territory."
A cultivator from the Qian Clan's Purple Mansion sect sighed, his face showing a complex mix of emotions, including joy and dismay.
Only one cultivator surnamed Wang showed a bitter expression; this man was the Wang Clan of the Wang Purple Mansion Immortal Clan.
This battle only resulted in the death of one Human Race cultivator at the Purple Mansion, but it was his Wang Clan's newly promoted Purple Mansion who died, causing him immense pain.
Although the Chen Clan also brought newly promoted Purple Mansion, Nianchuan, Qing Hao, Ya Ya, and others were protected by Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader, so they did not encounter any strong opponents.
Their Wang Clan's newly promoted Purple Mansion strength was somewhat lacking, and they happened to encounter the Blue Lion Mastiff in the melee. They were almost killed by the Blue Lion Mastiff in just a few moves, leaving him no time to come to their aid.
Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Old Ancestor Wang said with a heavy heart, "I only have eighty years left to live, and I am currently only at the Sixth Purple Mansion Layer. My nephew from the Wang Clan has perished in this battle. What will become of me?"
A moment of silence fell over everyone. Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said, "Within the Subterranean Fire Vein of Jiaoyang Mountain, there are also two Blazing Fire Crystal and one Violet Sun Jade."
"I'll give you those two Blazing Fire Crystal as compensation. I'll also refine a batch of Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill from the Violet Sun Jade, and I'll give you one at cost price."
Hearing this, Old Ancestor Wang thanked him profusely, saying, "Thank you Patriarch Jiang, thank you, Patriarch Jiang."
After settling the compensation matters, everyone began to distribute the spoils of the battle.
The battle was fought hastily, but the spoils were considerable.
After the Blue-Maned Lion King perished, Jiang Linglong obtained not only its remains and inner core, but also a Tier 4 Low-Grade Law Treasure called the Azure Astral Blade.
The remaining nine Purple Mansion Demon Beast contributed eighteen third-tier Law Treasure, averaging less than one per person.
However, after Jiang Linglong refined her inner core into Foundation-Building Pill, each family could receive an average of three or four Foundation-Building Pill, so everyone could be considered to have gained something.
Of these treasures, the Blue Lion Mastiff made the greatest contribution, possessing three of the clan's most prized possessions.
They are the Azure Mastiff Immortal Sword, the Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd, and the Blue-Patterned Hexagonal Shield.
Looking at the Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd, Pan Boyuan said with tears streaming down his face, "Everyone, this is the Life-bound Magical Treasure of the previous patriarch of my Pan Clan."
"He died fighting to cover the Pan Clan's retreat. I'd rather leave other treasures behind; I hope no one will try to take this one from me."
Everyone felt a pang of sorrow, but some were also reluctant to part with the Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd, since there were only three clan-protecting treasures present.
This item is crucial whether it serves as a clan's foundation or as Tribulation-Transcending Treasure. Pan Boyuan is only at the Sixth Purple Mansion Layer, so he is somewhat lacking in the resources to exchange for it.
