Starting From The Blood Lineage Genealogy To Build An Eternal Immortal Clan Chapter 424: Deling Exits Seclusion

With that said.

Xu Deling rushed out of the Foggy Area.

She patted her Spirit Beast Pouch and summoned the Four-winged Chongming Bird, instructing it, "Xiao Hong, I need to go into seclusion to refine a pill. Act as my protector.

If Fifth Uncle is in danger, you must go help him."

"Yes, Master."

"Fifth Uncle, if you can't hold on, rember to call for Xiao Hong."

"Understood."

Xu Mingxian imdiately charged into the Foggy Area, relying on the Battle Array to slaughter the Chi.

anwhile, Xu Deling took out a High Grade Withered Glory Pill from her Storage Ring, swallowed it, and began to refine it.

"A Withered Glory Pill?!"

Seeing the pill Xu Deling consud, the Four-winged Chongming Bird recognized it instantly.

'To think the Xu Family actually has such providence... Right, Master's Grandfather has a Withered Glory Tree, and he often cultivates under the Withered Glory Tree, which can accelerate its growth.

'Otherwise, relying entirely on the Withered Glory Tree to produce them naturally would be far too slow.

'With the Withered Glory Pill, the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the Xu Family can quickly pass through their Weakness Period, significantly increasing the number of people attempting Nascent Soul Formation in the future.

'Even if they can't all achieve Nascent Soul Formation, with so many attempts, at least a few will surely succeed.'

As for Nascent Soul Formation Opportunities.

Even the Four-winged Chongming Bird didn't believe the Xu Family could acquire many of those.

At most, they might have two or three, which would already an they were heavily favored by providence.

Take the Heavenly Azure Sect, for example. They hadn't obtained a single Nascent Soul Formation Opportunity in over a thousand years, leading to their gradual decline and eventual overthrow.

Inside the Foggy Area.

Xu Mingxian fought the Chi, relying on the Battle Array.

Dark shadows flickered all around him amidst incessant roars; they were none other than the Chi, monsters that feared no ordinary attacks.

However, trapped in the thick fog, they couldn't break through anyti soon.

If a massive horde of them sward out.

Unless Xu Chuan forcibly ca out of seclusion, Xu Mingxian and Deling would undoubtedly die trying to block them.

His expression was solemn, his ten fingers dancing rapidly like a butterfly flitting through flowers.

Formation lines ford with a single thought, flickering in and out of existence in the void.

"Five Elents Rotation, bind!"

Accompanied by his low shout, five distinctly colored beams of light shot into the sky from the array.

They transford into five massive energy chains—gold, green, blue, crimson, and yellow—that rattled as they tore through the air, wrapping around several Chi.

Having comprehended the True Intent of the Formation Dao, Xu Mingxian fused this True Intent into the Battle Array he activated.

It could be said that the Battle Array was his divine ability.

If it were ordinary cultivators or demonic beasts, they would definitely dodge upon seeing the chains attacking.

But these Chi completely ignored them. Their eyes seed fixed solely on Xu Mingxian as they wildly swung their sharp claws, desperate to tear him to shreds.

As a result, the chains easily bound three or four of the lunging Chi.

Endless black smoke poured from the surface of their chain-bound bodies, emitting a loud sizzling sound.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Chi imdiately felt the pain and began to struggle violently.

Although their strength was only at the Early-Stage Golden Core level, their physical power was not weak. Furthermore, as they roared in anger, a bizarre, dark red energy seeped out from their bodies.

That was the source of their power, which inherently clashed with the True Intent of a Divine Ability.

Therefore, the dark red energy continuously corroded the Five Elents Chains.

Once the chains were sufficiently weakened, the Chi would be able to break free at any mont relying purely on their physical strength.

"Suppress!"

The chains abruptly tightened, temporarily restricting the several Chi in place.

Xu Mingxian didn't pause for a mont, his hand seals changing again.

"Five Elents Fusion, slash!"

Five-colored lights intersected in the air, condensing into a massive, twenty-five-ter Five-Color Great Sword.

The blade humd with the profound mysteries of the Five Elents' mutual generation and restriction as it heavily slashed down upon the bound Chi!

Wherever the sword's edge reached, the dark red energy violently lted away, accompanied by shrill, miserable shrieks.

However, completely obliterating a single Chi consud far too much of Xu Mingxian's energy. It was far beyond what a single attack like this could achieve.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Just as Xu Mingxian finished destroying the Chi in his imdiate vicinity, before he could even take a short breather, four or five more Chi unexpectedly breached the fog and groped their way toward him.

He had a theory that this was due to their innate opposition to spiritual qi and mana.

Therefore, even though the Bewildering Tracks Array could briefly trap them.

Over ti, the bizarre energy on their bodies would weaken the array's effects.

Gradually rendering it useless.

This was also why, back when Xu Mingxian was alone, he could only constantly flee when facing these Chi.

If they were ordinary cultivators, a third-tier Bewildering Tracks Array could trap them for months.

These Chi suddenly appeared and charged at him, tireless and fearless of death.

Xu Mingxian could only hastily condense a defensive Battle Array.

The array's light screen flared to life, blocking the dark red claws swiping from all directions, producing a dense series of muffled thuds like rain hitting plantain leaves.

Killing formations continuously activated, manifesting raging flas, golden halberds, giant logs, ice spikes, and towering mountains in succession.

They repelled and injured the approaching Chi ti and ti again.

As for the Illusory Array, while it was highly effective against demonic beasts and human cultivators.

It was practically useless against the Chi.

After all, they didn't even fear the Divine Sense Secret thod in the slightest.

Xu Mingxian felt that the Chi likely lacked souls. They were like puppets controlled by a bizarre energy, possessing only a bloodthirsty instinct and a natural, extre sensitivity to mana.

Relying on this sensitivity, they hunted down human cultivators and demonic beasts.

"Five Elents Chains, bind!"

Ordinary killing arrays only caused limited damage. If he ground them down slowly, he could kill them, but unfortunately, the Chi wouldn't give him that ti.

If he didn't swiftly kill the ones in front of him, more Chi would inexplicably slither over soon.

Once the accumulated number of Chi reached a dozen or more, it would spell utter doom for a cultivator like Xu Mingxian, who hadn't even mastered a Minor Success divine ability.

Just like rolling a snowball, there would only be more and more of them.

Until they could no longer be handled.

"Five-Color Great Sword, slash!"

At this point, Xu Mingxian couldn't afford to worry about his mana consumption; he could only repeatedly unleash his ultimate moves.

Fortunately, his mana reserves had already reached the Late-Stage Golden Core level.

Otherwise, he might not have lasted even two hours.

One Chi after another was slaughtered.

Xu Mingxian's mana drained away like flowing water, and fine beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

He controlled the shifts of the Five Elents effortlessly, often unleashing several arrays at once. He used earthen walls to block, water screens to slow them down, and formations of tal and fire to fiercely assault, constantly defusing crises when he was not even a hair's breadth away from disaster.

However, these Battle Arrays were only auxiliary. The actual killing still depended on the Five-Color Great Sword.

Through Five Elents Rotation, the power of his True Intent could be elevated beyond the Minor Success stage.

If not for this, killing a Chi would require significantly more effort.

Ti ticked by.

Two hours, four hours...

Every Chi that fell within the array crumbled into dust.

Yet, the pressure surrounding Xu Mingxian didn't ease. Instead, the continuous ripples of battle attracted even more of them.

Xu Mingxian's breathing grew heavy. Maintaining such a high-intensity Battle Array and mana output placed an enormous burden on his mind.

Suddenly.

"Roar!"

A string of roars echoed out, and shockingly, over a dozen Chi charged at him simultaneously.

Xu Mingxian's eyes went wide. Forgetting all pride, he imdiately yelled, "Xiao Hong, co help!"

Hearing his cry, the Four-winged Chongming Bird couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Screech—!"

A clear, resonant bird's cry echoed in response, piercing clouds and splitting rocks.

A crimson shadow shot forward like a bolt of lightning, instantly plunging into the fog and arriving at Xu Mingxian's location.

It flapped its four wings in unison, scorching light flowing across its brilliant feathers, resembling a miniature sun crashing into the battlefield.

Its innate auspicious aura, capable of burning evil, exploded outward, causing the surrounding Chi to montarily freeze in their tracks.

But this only provoked even more furious roars from the Chi.

Astonishingly, they all abandoned Xu Mingxian and sward toward the Four-winged Chongming Bird.

'What the hell are these things? Their aura is so evil!'

The Four-winged Chongming Bird grumbled inwardly.

"I'll assist, you attack!"

Xu Mingxian forced his mana to surge, sending dozens of Five Elents Chains slithering out of the void to entangle the dozen or so Chi.

Seeing this, profound disgust flashed through the Four-winged Chongming Bird's eyes. It opened its beak and unleashed a breath of crimson fla, as concentrated as molten gold, sweeping across the space ahead!

This fla was no ordinary fire. Imbued with its natal true fla and evil-dispelling auspicious qi, its suppressive effect on the vile energy seed even greater than Xu Mingxian's True Intent of the Formation Dao.

Engulfed by the crimson flas, the Chi instantly let out even more agonizing shrieks as the dark red energy on their bodies constantly clashed and dissolved under the fire.

'They're actually still alive!'

The Four-winged Chongming Bird was slightly surprised.

Xu Mingxian shouted, "These Chi can only be suppressed and completely killed by the True Intent of a Divine Ability! Ordinary spells and magic treasure attacks cannot completely annihilate them.

Once they die, they will turn into piles of ash!"

The Four-winged Chongming Bird felt a wave of shock and cursed inwardly, 'Which ancient monster researched such disgusting abominations!'

As an old Body Integration stage demon reincarnated, the Four-winged Chongming Bird naturally knew the true essence of the True Intent of a Divine Ability.

The Body Integration stage was the realm where one truly began to comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth.

And the True Intent of a Divine Ability likely didn't even possess a ten-thousandth of the power of the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Of course, with its current realm and strength, the Four-winged Chongming Bird couldn't wield a single shred of the laws of Heaven and Earth's power, but its comprehension of the True Intent of a Divine Ability was quite fast.

Moreover, it was a different True Intent of a Divine Ability compared to its past life.

It had already reached the Great Accomplishnt level, on par with Xu Deling.

However, it had never revealed this fact in the slightest.

Yet, facing these Chi, the Four-winged Chongming Bird was forced to rge its True Intent into its flas to attack.

After three or four strikes.

Coupled with Xu Mingxian's Five-Color Great Sword.

They finally annihilated the dozen or so Chi.

"More and more of these Chi are gathering! We have to find a way to continuously kill them to buy ti for Deling to refine the pill," Xu Mingxian said.

"Xiao Hong understands," the old demon feigned innocence.

One man and one bird imdiately rushed to other areas, taking the initiative to hunt down the Chi.

But just as Xu Mingxian had said, more Chi continually gathered and sward into the Cloud Heaven Illusionary Array.

Its illusions seed entirely useless against the Chi.

Just like that, fourteen to sixteen hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Continuously utilizing the True Intent of a Divine Ability left even them feeling exhausted.

"More Chi have entered! Over thirty of them this ti!"

Xu Mingxian, who had rested for less than fifteen minutes, felt his expression abruptly change.

He and the Four-winged Chongming Bird didn't dare lower their guard. They charged forward once again, relying on the formations and true flas to desperately block and slaughter the incoming horde within the Foggy Area.

However, they were thoroughly exhausted. With very little mana and demonic power remaining, their killing efficiency drastically dropped.

Amidst the chaotic lee.

Suddenly, three or four Chi sohow found a gap and burst violently out of the Foggy Area.

A vicious light exploded in their eyes. Their dark red claws ripped through the air, carrying a nauseating scent of blood as they rapidly dashed right up to Xu Deling.

"Screech!"

The Four-winged Chongming Bird let out a long cry of shock and anger, ignoring the monsters tangled in the array.

Flapping its four wings violently, it turned into a crimson-gold rainbow, desperately trying to return in ti, but the distance was too great. It was too late!

Just as a Chi's sharp claws were about to strike Xu Deling's head.

In this mont hanging by a hair—

Xu Deling's closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant hum, akin to gold and jade striking together, erupted from her eyes. A substantial, dazzling golden light shot forth like an unsheathed sword, instantly and accurately piercing right through the skulls of the two leading Chi!

This was the divine ability Xu Deling had comprehended, the Fire Emperor's True Pupil.

Unyielding, pure yang, and incomparably domineering.

The two Chi were sent directly flying backwards.

But terrifyingly, even with their heads blown apart, the two Chi didn't die. They slowly scrambled back up and continued their charge toward Xu Deling.

"Fire Phoenix, erge!"

A bright, piercing phoenix cry rang out!

Above Xu Deling's head, intense flas gathered frantically, condensing in the blink of an eye into a majestically divine Fire Phoenix with a wingspan of over ten ters.

The Fire Phoenix's eyes glowed with golden light. Striking a proud posture, it dove toward the other two Chi, carrying the awe-inspiring might to burn all evil to ashes!

Waves of heat blasted through the air, and golden flas swept outward.

The Fire Phoenix slamd heavily into those two Chi, causing the dark red energy around them to violently evaporate like boiling water. Howling in agony, they were brutally blasted away by the imnse force.

The golden flas wrapping their bodies continued to sizzle and burn endlessly.

"Master, you're awake!"

The Four-winged Chongming Bird flapped its wings and hovered mid-air in front of Xu Deling.

It chirped happily.

Its brilliant tail feathers twitched with excitent.

Driven by concern, Xu Mingxian also dashed over.

Seeing that the aura surrounding Xu Deling was harmonious, surging, and even stronger than before, a relieved, gratified smile appeared in his eyes. "Deling."

Xu Deling's importance to the Xu Family was not a bit lower than his own.

If anything happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Xu Chuan.

Xu Deling stood tall and gave a slight nod to Xu Mingxian and the Chongming Bird. The lingering golden light in her eyes added an extra layer of sharpness and composure to her deanor.

"You've worked hard, Fifth Uncle, Xiao Hong. ditate and recover for now. Leave the rest to ."

Xu Mingxian knew this wasn't the ti for pleasantries, so he simply nodded and said, "Be careful."

Without another word, he sat down cross-legged right there, popped a pill, and threw all his effort into recovering his nearly bottod-out mana and ntal fortitude.

Xu Deling shifted her gaze to the four Chi that still weren't quite dead, her eyes turning cold.

Raising a delicate hand, a streak of light shot out from her sleeve. It was an intricately veined feather, as blood-red as ruby, with faint golden radiance rippling along its edges.

This was exactly her Natal Magic Treasure, the Fire Phoenix Plu.

"Go."

The Fire Phoenix Plu morphed into a streak of crimson-gold light and plunged into the majestic Fire Phoenix phantom floating above her head.

In an instant.

The Fire Phoenix phantom solidified significantly, its eyes shining with lucid spiritual light.

The veins on its wings beca distinctly visible, each feather appearing to be forged from dancing golden flas. It radiated an even vaster, scorching pressure, as if a genuine divine Fire Phoenix had descended upon the world.

"Shriek!"

The Fire Phoenix cried out clearly, snatching up the four Chi with its claws and tossing them back into the Foggy Area.

Xu Deling dashed in right behind them.

With a flap of the Fire Phoenix's wings, countless golden-red sparks rained down in a torrential storm. Any Chi touched by them howled incessantly, their movents heavily impeded.

Imdiately after, the Fire Phoenix thrust its massive claws out, crushing the skulls of the other two Chi as well.

Pale golden flas incinerated their bodies.

Naturally, these flas were all infused with a Great Accomplishnt level True Intent of a Divine Ability.

Although it couldn't compare to a true divine ability, its effect against the Chi was quite good.

There were over thirty Chi, scattered throughout the Foggy Area in packs of four or five.

Xu Deling imdiately charged toward the nearest group.
