Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation, Condense a Demon Core!
Thinking of this--
Qin Lu's determination to reclaim his physical body grew stronger. If things couldn't be done, the worst outcome would be the loss of his main soul and his physical body...
At that time, I will rebuild my body as Wood Demon.
As long as he returns to the Da Zhou, Qin Lu will abandon all his family's assets and flee south with the Qin Clan. As long as his Lineage survives and he doesn't completely disappear...
There's still a chance to start all over again!
Moreover--
His beloved grandson Qin Hui, had already gone to the south to develop his career many years ago...
The Qin Clan still had a way out, so Qin Lu naturally had the courage to go all out. Cultivation is inherently going against the heavens; if you don't advance, you retreat!
If he doesn't even have this much courage, then he's wasted nearly a hundred years of his life...
What he sought was nothing more than immortality!
Of those with powerful and profound cultivation, how many rely on possessing another's body? Only one's own body can unleash their full potential...
This is already common knowledge in the cultivation world!
Therefore, as long as Qin Lu still desires immortality, he has no choice but to fight with all his might...
In the blink of an eye--
Several more months passed, and Qin Lu, controlling the Green Serpent, infiltrated the core area of the secret realm...
With its powerful Divine Sense, the green snake easily passed through the outer defenses, then lowered its aura and lay in wait.
In the center of the secret realm stands an ancient structure resembling a pyramid, which appears to be an altar...
It also looks just like a royal palace!
There are also three stone pillars standing around, as well as twelve smaller stone pillars forming an altar...
Qin Lu didn't dare get too close and could only watch from a distance. On the three main stone pillars, a man and a woman were clearly nailed to the pillars!
The two were none other than...
It was Gao Xiong, and Medicine King Valley, that long-lost Master Chunyang, who was also a pure-looking female cultivator!
As for the last stone pillar, it held an ice coffin...
Inside was Qin Lu's physical body!
The remaining twelve stone pillars of the altar held twelve bodies, some alive and some dead...
Qin Lu naturally recognized several familiar faces inside; they were none other than Gu Mozhen, Zuo Tiancheng, Duan Muyou, and others...
The others were also well-known prodigies in the field of Wood Dao!
Several of them even resembled the style of cultivators from the former Daliang Dynasty, and some even wore barbarian clothing from the former Chiyuan State...
These twelve people were all at the Qi Condensation Upper Layers, and each of them had mastered a certain Dao Rhyme of the Wood Dao!
From this perspective--
This Frost Demons has been plotting for a long time; it probably set its sights on Wood Dao cultivators a long time ago. In the Five Elements, water nourishes wood...
Conversely, the Wood Dao nourishes the Water Dao, and with the Core Formation, whether it is Golden Core or Demon Core, it must undergo the Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation!
And Wood Dao happens to be a holy grail for healing!
Using living cultivators as healing pills, and then using them to nourish oneself, was the plan of this Second Elder of the Frost Demons Sect; he even intended to...
When condensing the Demon Core, absorb the Dao Law of wood, and take the principles of water and wood as the foundation!
And the two paths of water and wood combine --
The most famous of these is: Yang Spring Water! Also known as Yang-Restoring Water, the legendary composite Dao: Yang-Restoring Dao!
"This demon is quite cunning..."
"With such thorough preparations, Non-Self weren't always cautious, I might have truly allowed the Demon Race to give birth to a peerless Demon King..."
"But I'm here..."
"If you can advance to the Fourth-Tier and condense Demon Core, I, Qin Lu, will take your surname!"
Qin Lu chuckled inwardly, already having a plan in mind.
As expected--
A few days later, the Second Elder of the Frost Demons was sitting atop the altar...
He activated the altars, and twelve clusters of spiritual flames engulfed the twelve altars. The surviving cultivators let out a few mournful cries and then fell silent...
Then--
The altars emitted a faint spiritual glow; the twelve altars were like twelve Pill Furnace, where the flesh, soul, and Dao Rhyme of the twelve cultivators were absorbed...
All of them are melted down and combined into one!
After initial refining, the twelve clumps of spiritual liquid flew to the top, where they converged and condensed, forming a lustrous blue pill...
The moment the green pill entered her mouth, the Frost Demons unleashed a surge of immense Spiritual Power that pierced the sky!
Its energy is perfectly complete and without any flaws; it has reached the optimal state!
Seeing that the time was ripe, the Second Elder of the Frost Demons no longer hesitated, flying into the sky to connect with heaven and earth, summoning the Lightning Tribulation to descend...
Although they were in a secret realm.
But the Lightning Tribulation ignored all of this, piercing straight through the barrier of the secret realm and gathering above its dome, where rolling thunderclouds covered the sky...
The raging thunder roared like drums!
Dark clouds covered the sky, stretching for miles!
Upon hearing the rumbling thunder, the Second Elder of the Frost Demons trembled involuntarily, as if facing the terrifying might of heaven...
Especially this kind of heavenly Lightning Tribulation, which is specifically designed to subdue demons and evil spirits!
The Second Elder of the Frost Demons, having slaughtered countless people, was naturally even more fearful, but remembering that he was well-prepared, he calmed down...
Face the lightning!
The next moment--
Lightning exploded, and bolts of lightning fell one after another, the blinding blue-purple lightning seeming to turn the ground into a pool of lightning!
A torrent of lightning struck, instantly shattering the earth...
The magnificent altar crumbled under the raging thunder, turning into ruins and rubble!
Nine arrows fell in succession--
The Second Elder of the Frost Demons Sect barely managed to withstand the first round of heavenly lightning with his bare body, before he could even catch his breath...
The second round of heavenly lightning followed immediately!
This time, however, several bolts of heavenly lightning combined and struck him fiercely!
At that moment, a colossal tree of lightning manifested in the sky, and with a single strike, the Second Elder of the Frost Demons was instantly reduced to charred remains...
His entire body was charred black, and blood was gushing from his mouth and nose!
He simply waved his hand, and Gao Xiong flew towards him...
Its body was rapidly refined and swallowed whole!
The next moment, the Frost Demons Second Elder's body shed its black skin, grew new flesh, and its aura returned to its peak...
Subsequently--
The Extreme Cold Dao Principle manifested, transforming into chains of ice and snow that collided with the heavenly lightning, instantly creating a blizzard and a raging storm!
The entire secret realm trembled at that moment!
Come on!
"Damn you, God! If you've got the guts, strike me down with a bolt of lightning!"
The Second Elder of the Frost Demons roared to the sky, as if mocking the injustice of heaven!
Even as thunderstorms raged like a storm, he did not retreat, like an ant daring to face the glimmer of lightning...
Not all ants fear lightning!
Even demons have their own pursuits; they too yearn to exist forever with the heavens and live as long as the earth!
When the second round of Lightning Tribulation ended--
The true form of a Frost Demons demon was revealed at this moment, transforming into an ice and snow giant that was comparable to a mountain!
He roared at the sky, as if declaring war!
Then the third round of Lightning Tribulation descended, and bolts of heavenly lightning changed form once again, transforming into thunder beasts that crashed down!
Sometimes it transforms into a thunder wolf, sometimes into Lightning Dragon!
Thunder manifested as myriad beasts, and under their relentless bombardment, even the mighty Second Elder of the Frost Demons was forced to shed blood upon the heavens, his body once again charred black...
"Again!!!"
