Nine beams of blood light, like nine blood swords, struck toward Lu Yan.
Lu Yan slashed nine tis in succession, blocking all nine beams of blood light, but his figure wavered slightly, revealing a trace of solemnity.
The leading Nine-headed Falcon was extrely powerful, on par with Zhang Shi, if not more so.
The Immortal Clan truly deserved its reputation as one of the strongest clans in the world, a place where exceptional individuals erged one after another.
Seeing that it hadn’t gained the upper hand with its first move, the leading Nine-headed Falcon’s body was enveloped in blood light as it used its killing move and pushed its fighting power to the extre.
But Lu Yan acted even faster.
"Soul Sky Thorn!"
With a single thought, he executed this newly mastered Soul Attack Skill.
His Primordial Spirit emitted a faint glow, and in his eyes, the Nine-headed Falcon’s Primordial Spirit shone bright as stars, clearly captured by Lu Yan right inside its sea of consciousness.
Even if the opponent’s Primordial Spirit retreated into its physical body, he could still capture it.
Wonderful!
At the sa ti, a Big Tree Phantom Image flew out, and in the mont of its ergence, it rapidly collapsed and condensed into a foot-long needle, which shot into the Nine-headed Falcon’s sea of consciousness.
The Nine-headed Falcon, obviously not as well equipped as the Tianjiao of the Three Emperors Alliance, lacked Soul Defence Treasures; its Primordial Spirit was hit squarely by the Soul Sky Thorn.
The Nine-headed Falcon let out a miserable cry as its Primordial Spirit, as if pierced by an arrow, was penetrated by a hole. From that hole, cracks spread out in all directions.
With its Primordial Spirit severely damaged, the Nine-headed Falcon’s aura rapidly weakened, and its power significantly diminished.
"Kill!"
Lu Yan rged with his sword and executed the Purple Electric Thunder Knife, turning into a streak of purple thunderous light, slashing through the air and vanishing in a flash.
Splat, splat...
With one stroke, the heads of the Nine-headed Falcon were all severed, blood spraying everywhere.
Following that, Lu Yan continued with a downward slash, cleaving the Nine-headed Falcon’s body in two, from top to bottom, and turning its Primordial Spirit to dust.
The powerful Nine-headed Falcon was almost instantly killed by Lu Yan.
This was the difference between possessing Soul Defence Treasures and lacking them.
The combat power of this Nine-headed Falcon was almost on par with Zhang Shi, but because its Primordial Spirit was badly injured, it stood no chance against Lu Yan.
"Soul Attack Skills are indeed trendously powerful."
Lu Yan was overjoyed inside.
The Nine-headed Falcon had two layers higher Cultivation Level than Lu Yan, who by previous experiences should have at most caused a concussion and minor injuries with the Big Tree Phantom Image; it wouldn’t have impacted it so greatly.
But the Soul Sky Thorn could severely damage the opponent’s Primordial Spirit in an instant.
Combining Soul Attack with Immortality Skill was more than just a simple sum.
"Ancestor..."
The other mbers of the Immortal Clan, upon seeing the Nine-headed Falcon killed, were paralyzed with fear, scattering to escape.
"None of you shall leave."
Lu Yan coldly commanded, his body wrapped in lightning, the glint of his blade flickering through the air. Each flicker snuffed out the life of an expert from the Immortal Clan.
No matter whether they were at the Immortal Fourth Layer or the Immortal Third Layer, each was a one-strike kill.
Two breaths later, all of the elite mbers from the Immortal Clan who had entered the Tomb of Soldiers were exterminated.
Outside the Tomb of Soldiers.
"The soul plaque of our ancestor is shattered, the ancestor is dead," cried out a Nine-headed Falcon in horror.
In front of it floated a broken black plaque, belonging to the leading Nine-headed Falcon.
"We should not linger here, let’s go."
The Immortal Clan mbers guarding the entrance of the Tomb of Soldiers, upon seeing even the strongest of the Immortal Clan from the Desolate Land fall, dared not stay and scattered in retreat.
Lu Yan’s Martial Arts Avatars spread out to intercept.
However, the avatars, much weaker than the original body, managed to capture only a few weaker mbers of the Immortal Clan, while the rest escaped.
"I wonder how many in the Desolate Land’s Immortal Clan know about the Dao Book; it should not be many, given the Dao Book’s value. Even within the Immortal Clan, it wouldn’t be widely publicized; perhaps only the upper echelons of the clan are aware."
"But this issue must be resolved soon; should the word reach the Origin Continent, it will beco troubleso."
"And there’s the Demon Ancestor Clan, Min Luo Demon Lord."
A fierce killing intent flashed in Lu Yan’s eyes.
Min Luo Demon Lord knew too many secrets, he could not be left alive.
With a wave of his hand, he collected the corpses of the Immortal Clan into a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag and swiftly returned.
But just as he arrived, he felt a powerful aura stirring.
It was Shen Yinuo’s aura.
"Yinuo has made another breakthrough."
A look of joy crossed Lu Yan’s face.
This pace was truly astonishing.
Of course, the greatest credit went to the Great Sun lting Furnace.
Others, even with treasures like the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus, couldn’t possibly refine it as quickly and efficiently.
Haven’t you seen how Lin Yan, after obtaining the Tri-colored Fla Lotus, is still in the process of fusing, not having succeeded even now?
Half a day later, Shen Yinuo’s Cultivation Level had completely stabilized, reaching the Immortal Third Layer Heaven.
This left Mr. World with a complex expression.
Having accumulated years of experience, he had managed to reach the Immortal Third Layer only after coming to the Desolate Land and was now caught up to so easily by Shen Yinuo.
"Yinuo, congratulations."
Lu Yan approached to offer his congratulations.
"Lu Yan, how’s the situation?"
Shen Yinuo asked.
"All the mbers of the Immortal Clan who entered the Tomb of Soldiers have been killed by , but so who were guarding outside managed to escape," Lu Yan replied.
"Those from the Immortal Clan must be eradicated, or they will remain a lingering threat," Shen Yinuo said with a serious expression.
Lu Yan nodded.
"Compared to the Immortal Clan, I feel that Min Luo, the Demon Lord poses a greater threat in the future. He too is aware of the Dao Book’s affair and will certainly find a way to spread the word. If we prioritize hunting down the experts of the Immortal Clan, we might alert Min Luo and cause him to hide. At that point, killing him will beco even more difficult,"
Mr. World said.
"Senior’s words are reasonable. Does Senior know where Min Luo is hiding?"
Lu Yan asked.
"Desolate Land Demon Clan headquarters, Thousand Demon Mountain."
Mr. World said, pausing for a mont before adding, "The strength of the Demon Clan in the Desolate Land is extrely powerful, not inferior to the Immortal Clan. Within it, there are more than a dozen experts of the Immortal Fourth Layer. Moreover, relying on the terrain and formations, our current strength is probably not enough to storm Thousand Demon Mountain."
Both Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo acknowledged this point.
Their current strength indeed fell short.
"Anyway, the Desolate Land is different from the Origin Continent. The people of the Three Emperors Alliance are only here for trial, and they will not actually lead people to the Origin Continent. In the short term, the news is not likely to spread to the Origin Continent, so we can find a place to close off and cultivate for a while. Once our strength increases, then we can attack Thousand Demon Mountain."
"Yinuo, how long will it take for you to break through to the Immortal Fourth Layer?"
Lu Yan asked.
"To break through to the Immortal Fourth Layer, I need to completely refine the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus, which I fear will take about half a year."
Shen Yinuo pondered for a mont before replying.
"Good, then let’s close off for half a year."
Lu Yan nodded.
Since the Three Emperors Alliance was aware of the Tomb of Soldiers, it wasn’t a good place to close off for cultivation. The trio quickly departed, distancing themselves from the Tomb of Soldiers and finding a secluded area.
"Mr. World, Yinuo, take these Soul Defence Treasures and start refining them."
Lu Yan took out two treasures, a black disc, and a bracelet.
Both were Soul Defence Treasures obtained from the disciples of the Three Emperors Alliance.
Soul Defence Treasures are extrely important; they can save one’s life when facing experts skilled in Soul Attacks.
"I will take this one,"
Mr. World took the black disc, which had been taken from Liu Chang and was engraved with Formation Patterns, suitable for Mr. World.
Shen Yinuo, on the other hand, took the bracelet and started the refinent process.
Lu Yan himself took out a black tower.
It was also a Soul Defence Treasure.
His soul, although strong, had not yet encountered anyone who could suppress him in that aspect.
But as the saying goes, there’s always soone stronger, and who knows, one day he might encounter a monstrous genius in soul matters.
Even if he does not co across such a soul monstrosity, those with much higher Cultivation Levels than his can also suppress him with their souls. An extra layer of protection is certainly a wise choice.
With Lu Yan’s imnse soul talent, refining Soul Defence Treasures was a breeze. In just a mont, he successfully refined it, and a small black tower floated above his Primordial Spirit, casting a faint glow and enveloping his Primordial Spirit.
"Dao Book Senior, may I ask if my physical body can enter the inner space of the second page of the Dao Book?"
Lu Yan inquired.
He was not short of Immortal Corpses at the mont.
That ans he could use the Immortal Corpses to accelerate the flow of ti within the second page of the Dao Book’s inner space by a hundredfold.
If his physical body could enter, wouldn’t his cultivation speed skyrocket?
Wouldn’t this solve the slow progress problem in cultivating the Saint Soldier’s Formula?
"Not just yet, but if you give a few more Immortal Realm corpses to refine, then it will be possible,"
Little Phoenix said.
"Really, it’s possible."
Lu Yan was overjoyed.
"By the way, would it be possible in the future to let other people cultivate inside as well?"
Lu Yan asked further.
"It is possible to let others in too, but not until I recover more from my injuries and refine more Immortal Corpses. Moreover, I’m afraid that Immortal Realm corpses won’t suffice; Tao Realm corpses will be necessary,"
Little Phoenix explained.
"Tao Realm corpses."
Lu Yan’s eyes sparkled.
As long as it’s possible.
In that case, he could bring his loved ones and friends into the inner space of the Dao Book and even accelerate ti, turning it into a sacred cultivation ground.
The Dao Book, ranked twelfth on the Supre True Treasure List, truly lives up to its reputation.
He wondered just how marvelous the top eleven Supre Treasures were?
"Senior, speed up ti for . I want to comprehend the Zhou Tian Huan Yu Map,"
Lu Yan imdiately presented three Immortal Corpses, all from the Immortal Third Layer, for the Dao Book to devour.
Little Phoenix was delighted and swallowed the three Immortal Corpses at once.
Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit entered the inner space of the second page of the Dao Book and began to comprehend the Zhou Tian Huan Yu Map, still focusing on the Rule of Thunder.
Ti flew quickly; a day in the outside world was a hundred days inside.
In a blink, a month had passed in the outside world.
For that one month in the outside world, Lu Yan had experienced a hundred months, which is more than eight years.
He had now mastered eighty-nine variations of the Rule of Thunder.
His Zhou Tian Huan Yu Map had beco much more complex.
At the sa ti, he acquired the second Immortality Skill, the Shock Thunder Nine Flashes.
This was a movent technique that, when used, turned the user into lightning, moving around like a bolt of lightning, unimaginably fast.
This was naturally far more advanced than the Starry Sky Step.
When executed, its speed far surpassed the Starry Sky Step.
This undoubtedly boosted Lu Yan’s strength significantly.
In this month, the Dao Book had refined seven Immortal Corpses, five from the Immortal Third Layer and two from the Immortal Fourth Layer. Apart from using a portion of the energy to accelerate ti, most of the energy was used to heal itself, which significantly improved its condition.
Now, Lu Yan’s physical body could also enter.
