"This is my first major gift to your Holy Spirit Cult in the real world. Accept it..."

Lu Cheng smiled. It just so happened that these guys had "evacuated the crowd" in advance, so there would be no accidental injury. This huge Bone Dragon covered with a layer of frost was his true trump card, which was somewhat similar to the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus next door.

"An ice-blue Bone Dragon? Did he summon that?" Zhongli Wu's eyelids twitched wildly as he stared at the ice-blue Bone Dragon roaring straight at them from afar. A layer of pale blue frost covered its skeleton, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. "Something's not right, retreat!"

"It's too late."

Lu Cheng chuckled, showing no hesitation. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body suddenly retreating and rolling. A blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring gently touched the ground beneath his feet, and in the next instant, the young man suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into a long rainbow and heading straight towards the horizon.

The formation created by Zhongli Wu and others covered an area of at least a hundred miles.

Therefore, he was given enough distance to avoid them.

"Burst!"

Before turning around, Lu Cheng, still in mid-air with his back to the Bone Dragon, curled the corners of his lips and softly uttered a single word.

Zhongli Wu instantly sensed something was wrong; his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately summoned the Bone Dragon King, "Extreme Wind!"

The two Bone Dragon stared at each other from afar, and the enormous frost Bone Dragon charging towards them suddenly exploded without warning.

"Damn it!" A look of surprise flashed in Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng's eyes. He raised his hand and waved, and a huge phantom slowly appeared in front of him, forcing him to reveal his Martial Soul True Body to defend against this attack.

Wu Yun also had a strange expression, its body transforming into streaks of black crows, deliberately avoiding the area.

Zhongli Wu, needless to say, his Bone Dragon King possesses both wind and fire attributes, making him extremely aggressive and naturally possessing strong defensive capabilities. A wall of wind appeared in front of him.

It reduced its considerable power.

The only ones who suffered were the Three Zhongli Brothers and some Holy Spirit Cult disciples at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels. Almost the instant the Ice Explosion began, the terrifying energy enveloped, tore them apart, and crushed them into ashes, leaving them no time to react.

"Boom!!!"

Lu Cheng had already transformed into a rainbow and fled far away. However, a moment later, a mushroom cloud of strange color, with ice blue and dark black hues, suddenly rose up behind him, its power sweeping across dozens of miles.

The sound was deafening, echoing through the heavens.

Even though Lu Cheng had already traveled dozens of kilometers in an instant, he could still feel a powerful push against his back. He steadied himself, turned around, and raised his arm to block the shockwave. The lush forest around him also trembled violently.

After a few breaths, Lu Cheng slowly lowered his arm.

As far as the eye could see, there was only deathly silence. Thick smoke billowed and slowly dissipated, and it seemed as if a hole had been blasted in the sky.

Lu Cheng's throat bobbed, a hint of shock showing on his face.

His face was also somewhat pale.

Detonating this technique nearly drained all of his Soul Power.

"So... powerful."

To be honest, this was just a small test of his abilities. After all, his own strength was too shallow, and the Ultimate Ice was not enough to mobilize and detonate the full power of that huge Bone Dragon. It only detonated about five percent of its energy, but even that was already terrifying.

Titled Douluo- level powerhouse would likely perish if they were at the epicenter of the explosion. As for the Super Douluo and Zhongli Wu, Lu Cheng didn't expect to kill them, but it would be enough to give them a run for their money.

"There are still areas for improvement..."

Electrolux, however, seemed dissatisfied, shaking his head with some regret, his hands behind his back, his gaze deep.

"Teacher?" Lu Cheng's lips twitched. This could be improved?

"This move will miss against certain individuals who can Intangibility," Electrolux said thoughtfully, stroking his beard.

"..."

Wu Yun.

Lu Cheng smiled. As a "friend" he had dealt with many times, he naturally knew about Wu Ya's abilities. Its Sixth Soul Skill, Darkness Transformation, could reduce all physical and magical attacks by 70%, during which time it could not attack others; and its Ninth Soul Skill, Intangibility, could completely hide itself in the void, avoiding all damage for a full 30 seconds.

Furthermore, during this time, it can transform into countless black crows and escape.

This is also why he always teased the latter for being a master at running away.

Since the teacher was willing to improve this Ice Bone Explosion technique, he didn't say anything more.

On the other side.

Zhongli Wu spat out black mist, looking around in bewilderment. Of the high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult they had brought with them, aside from a few Super Douluo and those who hadn't been at the epicenter of the explosion, the remaining twenty-odd people had all been reduced to ashes. This included one Titled Douluo, four Soul Douluo, and over a dozen Soul Saint...

These were all his trusted confidants in the Holy Spirit Cult, the fruits of his labor, and now they had vanished just like that, naturally enraging him.

But what angered and even terrified him even more was that boy.

"Chase him! Kill him! This brat will surely be a major threat to the Holy Spirit Cult in the future!!!" Zhongli Wu roared.

Several black crows landed on a branch on one side, transforming into a figure in black robes. The Wu Yun were equally shocked and immediately nodded in agreement, intending to give chase, but their figures suddenly stopped.

Everyone sensed two powerful figures entering through the entrance of the formation; these were their targets... the Auspicious Beast.

"What a brilliant self-destruction move! What a lad!" Zhongli Wu gritted his teeth, his anger turning into a mocking laugh. He glanced deeply in the direction Lu Cheng had gone, then coldly snorted, "Forget it, don't chase after him. Let's deal with the Auspicious Beast and that fire dog guarding the way first."

"Yes!"

The surviving Super Douluo powerhouses were still shaken. Even they were quite troubled by this self-destruction move, as they could easily be injured if they were not careful. Except for Zhongli Wu, they all used their own supernatural abilities and no one chose to take the hit head-on.

Ye Guyi's golden eyes sparkled brightly.

As expected of a teacher...

"Boom!"

On an ancient tree, Lu Cheng slowly stood up, his tall and slender figure standing tall and proud. He gazed at the flames rising in the distance, clashing with the darkness. Clearly, a fierce battle had broken out there, and its power was by no means small.

The flames were quite strange, somewhat similar to Lu Cheng's Nether Fire, and should be the Hellfire of the Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beast.

The Scarlet King's combat strength is definitely not weak. Although he was brutally beaten by Xuan Zi in the original work, when it comes to fighting to the death, the Three-Headed Hellhound's Life is especially tenacious. Even when facing several Super Douluo, and even when Zhongli Wu personally intervened, it still stubbornly persisted.

But... that seems to be all there is to it.

Without the support of Di Tian and others from the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhongli Wu's team could easily hunt down the Scarlet King and abduct the Auspicious Beast along the way.

"I didn't expect these guys to be so drunk that they chose to attack the Auspicious Beast beast..." Lu Cheng's eyes twitched. He could already imagine how furious Di Tian would be if he discovered that the Scarlet King was missing.

"Want to go help?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked with a grin.

"Go," Lu Cheng said softly.

"If you can save the Auspicious Beast, Di Tian will certainly not be stingy..." The phantom of the Snow Empress also appeared beside her, speaking softly. She was the ruler of the Far North, but she also knew the importance of the Auspicious Beast to the entire Soul Beast Clan.

Now that this Evil Soul Master are recklessly capturing the Auspicious Beast, there must be an unpredictable conspiracy behind it.

If something truly happens to the Auspicious Beast, it's beyond the capacity of the Soul Beast Clan to bear the consequences.

"I know, Snow Empress." Lu Cheng smiled.

His expression remained calm. "Elder Yi, how long do you estimate it will take to break this formation?"

"About... an hour."

Electrolux frowned slightly. "This formation is quite extraordinary; it's not something an ordinary mortal could create. I sensed a familiar divine power within it."

"..."

Lu Cheng's expression tightened slightly. Divine power... No wonder he could create such a grand spatial array; there must be a deity backing him up. Holy Lord, or someone else...?

"One hour is one half hour, then."

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the energy fluctuations of the Hellfire in the distance. The Scarlet King was no pushover and could obviously hold on for much longer.

Since that's the case.

He took out a bright green bracelet, its vibrant green color shimmering. Then, specks of green light flowed down his wrist and into his body, transforming into rich Soul Power that amplified Lu Cheng's entire body.

This is the Level 9 Soul Tool. Although its main function is defense, it also contains the Soul Tool Technology of Milk Bottle, making it comparable to a level eight Soul Guidance Healing Milk Bottle.

"Call..."

As his Soul Power gradually increased, Lu Cheng's complexion improved considerably. Both the Rainbow Transformation Technique and the Ice Bone Explosion Technique consumed an extreme amount of Soul Power. If it were any other ordinary Soul Emperor, or even Soul Saint, they would probably have been drained dry long ago...

It's only because he has several Soul Spirit amplifying his power, and Tian Meng, a giant power bank, that he dares to do this.

About half an hour later, Lu Cheng had recovered enough to take off and slowly approach the center of the battle in the distance.

"Humans, have you all gone mad?!"

Before they even got within a kilometer, the Scarlet King's roar echoed through the sky.

In Lu Cheng's exaggerated Spiritual Detection, the once majestic three-headed giant dog, which was tens of meters tall, now had its three huge heads drooping, its body covered in bloodstains, and was also covered in dark energy, preventing its injuries from healing.

Their faces were also covered in blood, and one of their heads was blind in both eyes, but it seemed they were still holding on, fighting purely by willpower.

The final step was self-destruction.

But if it dies, the Auspicious Beast will definitely be captured by this group of desperados.

The Scarlet King's three heads stared coldly at the few guys in the distance who were flying kites, hiding far away and relying on their skills to whittle down its health. They were clearly very strong, but they insisted on using such underhanded tactics.

It glanced behind it with a slightly worried expression.

The Auspicious Beast has vanished without a trace. Though injured, it's not serious. Run, run as far as you can...

It's likely that it will fail here today.

"Scarlet King, I've long admired your name," Zhongli Wu said with a smile. "However, you may not have noticed, but this entire space has been arrayed by us. Once you enter, unless I reopen it, there's no way to leave. Even if you try to escape, you'll just be running around like a headless fly within this spatial array."

"We dare not attempt to capture the Auspicious Beast without thorough preparation."

"Despicable!" the Scarlet King roared.

"..."
