Ancestor Above

Even so, he had no idea about Lu Qing’s current state, the techniques and cultivation techniques that he was using.

More importantly, he’s so strong!

He could sense that the strength of Lu Qing’s power was still at the level of someone who had just entered the late-stage golden elixir realm. However, the combat power that he displayed was too exaggerated.

Especially the energy formed when the wood attribute was combined with another attribute that Kong Tong had never seen before. It was beautiful, dangerous, and intoxicating.

The two different types of true essence combined together in such a harmonious manner. Wasn’t this what Kong Tong had been pursuing all this while?

He had spent almost his entire life pursuing this kind of effect. Up until now, he could be considered to have achieved some small success. However, he could only cast some compound curses at most. It was impossible for him to be able to combine them so harmoniously like the power that Lu Qing had displayed.

However, Kong Tong remembered that Lu Qing was a true fire-element cultivator back then. Back then, when he killed Zhao Zidan, he had used fire techniques. How many years had it been? How did it end up like this?

Could it be that geniuses could really be so unreasonable?

Kong Tong sighed in his heart, but he naturally didn’t relax in the battle.

When he saw that Lu Qing had already gained a decisive advantage on the other side, he naturally had to cooperate with him and keep Yin Liang, the ‘heavenly spirit blood eagle’, here. When Lu Qing had completely eliminated lang Luan, the two of them would be able to get rid of Yin Liang if they worked together.

However, it was not that easy for him to stop Kong Tong.

Kong Tong’s current condition was actually very bad. He had paid a price earlier to escape from Yin Liang and take charge of the formation. He had led 400 cultivators from different sects inside the five elements spirit sword array to withstand the continuous attacks of two golden core demon kings and 3000 demon beasts for more than two hours. His qi and blood were in turmoil, and he didn’t even know that his ears were bleeding. It was obvious that he had suffered a very serious internal injury.

When Lu Qing was fighting with lang Luan, his battle with Yin Liang had also reached an intense level.

When he noticed that a human cultivator was approaching him from behind, Yin Liang naturally wouldn’t be arrogant. He could be considered to have used his full strength without holding back. He wanted to kill Kong Tong first.

Now, when he heard that they were asking for help, he was even more anxious.

It just so happened that at this time, Kong Tong still came up to stop him without a care for his own safety. He was really anxious.

“Get lost!”

With a loud shout, Yin Liang punched forward. On his hand, his demonic power suddenly condensed into flames and formed the shape of an eagle’s head. It even let out a clear Eagle cry.

With a single punch, the few water element spells that Kong Tong had managed to cast earlier were suddenly destroyed. The power of the punch didn’t decrease in the slightest as it continued to strike towards Kong Tong.

Kong Tong was about to block again, squeezing out his true Yuan and condensing his spell. However, at this critical moment, he suddenly felt his body go weak. His dantian became a core that connected to his whole body, causing him to feel an intense pain.

This was a sign that his conjured physique was weak and his true essence had been exhausted under constant pressure.

And this sudden weakness and pain naturally made him unable to release the spell he had prepared.

But Yin Liang wouldn’t let him go, and this fierce punch directly landed on Kong Tong’s body.

Behind Kong Tong, two magic tools that automatically protected their owners lit up.

As the sect leader, Kong Tong was not poor.

However, the so-called self-protecting master was best if it could be controlled by the master and provide power. But now, Kong Tong’s body was completely empty, with not a single bit of true essence left, so how could he provide energy for these magical artifacts?

The two protective magical equipment shattered at the same time, and Kong Tong’s figure was sent flying. However, before he landed on the ground, he was caught by his personal disciple, perfected yunxuan.

Yin Liang had the ability to follow up with a victory, and he could guarantee that he would be able to kill Kong Tong.

However, when he was beating Fei Kongtong up, lang Luan, who was not far away, was shouting for help again, and his voice had changed a little. It was obvious that lang Yun’s side had reached a very urgent point.

After hesitating for a while, Yin Liang didn’t bother with Kong Tong anymore.

Even if Kong Tong didn’t die from that punch just now, he would definitely be severely injured and lose the ability to fight again, unable to interfere with the battle.

Thus, Yin Liang did not care anymore. He turned around and sped toward Lu Qing.

He did not dare to look down on Lu Qing anymore. Lang Jie’s fate was still vivid in his mind. Even though he could sense that Lu Qing’s strength was only at the seventh-stage golden core realm, he would definitely be more difficult to deal with than Kong Tong.

Yin Liang used all his strength and revealed his true form halfway through his flight toward Lu Qing-He was a Giant Eagle with-wingspan of over 200 feet!

Each of his feathers was burning with a strong demonic flame. The huge fire Hawk was no smaller than the wood Dragon Lu Lu Qing was riding.

The giant fire Falcon let out a cry. Monstrous demonic flames surged toward Lu Qing and his wood Dragon.

Lu Qing formed a hand seal and pressed down on the dragon’s head. The wood Dragon flew up, bringing with it specks of Starlight that filled the sky. It stirred up a gust of wind that carried Starlight and suddenly scattered the demonic flame.

Amidst the scattered flames, the giant Eagle flew out and pecked at Lu Qing, who was on top of the wood dragon’s head.

Lu Qing’s body instantly sank and disappeared into the wood Dragon’s body.

In fact, the Dragon soul’s current state was a characteristic of the ‘heaven guarding destiny spell’.

This spell originated from the ‘ancient Book of Creation’. After The Book of Creation and the rising stars incantation were combined, the spell itself was also preserved.

Originally, the minimum requirement to use it was to be at the nascent Soul Stage. With the extremely strong power of the wood attribute, the nascent soul was born and the cultivator’s power was added to the body, turning into a wooden figure. The toughness of the body would be greatly increased, and it would be almost impossible to be injured by opponents of the same level.

This was a powerful defensive spell, and its offensive attributes were not weak either. It could be considered to have both offensive and defensive abilities. Other than a great increase in defense, it would also directly increase one’s strength by a large margin. Furthermore, when one was attacked, one could plant a seed into the enemy’s body and use this seed as a medium to directly launch a spell on the opponent’s body.

In the Dharma stage, the ‘fate-guarding spell’ would be further developed and promoted, because the cultivator’s nascent soul had evolved into the Dharma stage. After casting it, the cultivator would be like an immortal. The fate-guarding spell could cover the entire Dharma stage, and the combat power would be greatly enhanced.

However, Lu Qing was different in that he had a Dragon Soul.

He didn’t have a nascent soul and couldn’t cast the Heaven’s Fate guarding spell on himself, but the Dragon Soul was one with him. He could naturally use this spell that could only be used on his own nascent soul or Dharma on the Dragon Soul.

Thus, the image of a wood Dragon was born.

Previously, in the darkness, lang Yun kept slashing. The wooden shell that he cut was actually the Dragon Soul. As for Lu Qing’s actual body, it had long been integrated into the wood Dragon. There was no way to cut it.

Right now, he was doing the same thing.

He didn’t need to fight with Yin Liang’s Heavenly Fire giant Eagle. He merged with the wood Dragon and controlled the Dragon Soul to fight with it.

The battle between the two behemoths in the air was extremely shocking.

However, Lu Qing more or less felt that it was a little tough to fight.

...

Yin liangdi’s cultivation base was still slightly higher than lang Jie’s. And the key was the enlarged real body. The power that could be transmitted in this form was much stronger than that of lang Yun’s multiple clones.

Lang Yun’s method was very powerful with a single point of explosion, but with the ‘heavensguard Life spell’, which could instantly transmit the attack suffered at one point to all other parts at the same time, this feature was useless. However, Yin Liang’s overall strength in his Giant Eagle form was extremely high.

In this large-scale exchange of blows, it really had the meaning of relying purely on cultivation to fight head on.

Lu Qing hid inside the wood Dragon’s body. While he observed the outside world through the Dragon Soul, he could also feel the pressure.

Every time the wood Dragon entangled and bit the giant Eagle, it would bite off a large piece of feather. These flame-like feathers would burn up in the air and turn into ashes. However, in this state, Yin Liang didn’t seem to care about his injuries. When a piece of meat was bitten off, a strong flame would immediately come out from the wound and fill it up.

As for the giant Eagle’s fierce pecking or the blazing fire that burned the wood Dragon, it couldn’t burn through it either. The heavensguard Life spell was a spell that came from a divine-grade cultivation technique. Even if there was a difference of several levels in cultivation base, it could still be defended.

But no matter what, this spell still required Lu Qing to supply it with true essence in order to sustain itself.

Using this spell, which should have only been used by cultivators at the nascent Soul Stage and above, with a golden core body, the consumption of true essence was also extremely terrifying.

If Lu Qing had not activated another divine ability of his, the ‘power of the star God’, and his entire body had entered a state similar to that of an energy body. He could connect with the constellations and borrow the power of the stars. He would not have been able to withstand such a high consumption.

But even so, in such an intense battle, he also gradually felt that his true Qi was not enough to make ends meet.

In fact, Yin Liang was even more surprised.

...

Did he consume less energy? This Giant Eagle form was his strongest trump card. He was only able to activate his demon body to such a state with his half-step rank five cultivation base.

He had originally thought that in this state, he should be invincible under the Yuanying stage. However, when it came to this wood Dragon, he really had no way to attack it. No matter how hard he hit, he couldn’t break the wooden shell. And the wood Dragon was extremely strong. If it was purely a contest of strength, he could only maintain a tie and couldn’t gain the upper hand.

More importantly, Yin Liang did not forget that, in a sense, Lu Qing was currently fighting against two people at the same time.

Lang Luan was still being burned by the silver-blue flame.

Maintaining a flame that was enough to threaten the life of a Tier 4 peak-grade Demon King was obviously not an easy task. After all, lang Yun was also constantly trying to find a way to escape. Every time he managed to escape, Lu Qing had to reignite the fire. He had to maintain the fire of the Starwood at a certain level of strength. Otherwise, it would be meaningless if it did not hurt lang Qian.

However, when he saw that lang Luan was not dead yet, Lu Qing suddenly thought of an idea.

He, who was hiding in the wood Dragon, made a hand gesture and cast a spell.

Lang Yun suddenly let out a miserable howl. On his burning body, many wooden whiskers suddenly grew out and quickly entangled, covering his body and then extended an invisible line to the wood Dragon.

The ash-like specks of Starlight from the silver-blue flames were extracted from his body and poured into the wood Dragon!

“How dare you, you Rascal!” Yin Liang cursed!

He could tell that Lu Qing was extracting the demonic power and life force from lang Luan!

Logically speaking, human cultivators had no way to make use of the monster power that the monster race possessed. However, after being burned by the fire of the Starwood, the Starlight that was formed seemed to be pure star power that had been transformed. Lu Qing absorbed it and made use of it.

Lang Luan had obviously felt this as well, but the fire of Starwood that was originally burning on his body did not hurt much. The speed at which his life force and demonic power were burning was not too fast. He had a strong foundation and could resist it for a while. He was most afraid that he would not be able to escape from this burning state and would not be able to hurt Lu Qing. If he did not think of a way to ask for help, he would be burned dry sooner or later, no matter how slow he was.

But now, when those wooden beards grew out of his body, it felt completely different. The pain of his life force and demonic energy being extracted became very obvious in an instant. This could be said to be the greatest pain he had ever suffered in his life, as if it came from his soul.

Moreover, he could also sense that his life force and demonic energy had been extracted and used by Lu Qing. This was a huge disadvantage for Yin Liang.

Therefore, lang Yun endured the pain and wanted to start the Golden Cicada shedding its shell again. Even if it was only for a short while, it would be of some help to Yin Liang.

However, the Tao Wu’s avatar failed.

The power that was about to leave his main body and form an avatar was captured by the wooden whiskers that grew out of his body the moment it appeared. They were then absorbed and turned into nutrients.

If he couldn’t create a clone, he naturally couldn’t use form displacement transposition, which made it even more impossible for him to escape.

In fact, he felt like his body was almost completely bound, and even moving was a little difficult, let alone shifting positions.

He was now extremely regretful-why didn’t he run away when he was simply burned? If he had run far enough, Lu Qing’s fire might not have been able to reach him.

Back then, he had wanted to run away. Although Yin Liang might not be able to defeat Lu Qing and Kong Tong when they joined forces, it should not be a problem for him to escape, right? There was still a long way to go, so they could only choose another day to fight. In the end, they had endured until now, and they had reached a situation where they couldn’t run away, and they couldn’t even fight back.

On the other hand, Lu Qing’s consumption of vital essence had been greatly replenished after he had a level-four peak-stage Demon King as a large battery.

Lu Qing used this force to launch an even more ferocious attack.

The wood Dragon was no longer just attacking by ramming and biting. It let out a sky-raising roar, and its Green Dragon body, which was shining with dazzling Starlight, suddenly darted toward the flaming Eagle and coiled up.

Like a Python strangling its prey, the wood Dragon’s body firmly entangled the giant Eagle.

Yin Liang was shocked and couldn’t Dodge. The flames around his body grew even more intense and burned every inch of the wood Dragon’s body. It was as if he was going to incinerate the wood Dragon.

Lu Qing activated the ‘heaven guarding life technique’ and entered the most intense stage of the bloody battle with Yin Liang’s Demon King incarnation.
