A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 166 Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire

The world depicted by Mo Yu Jing Feng can be found in "A Mortal's Beginning at the Spirit Beast Mountain".

"Ugly Crow" slowly raised its head, a cold and eerie smile curving its lips, and let out a strange, grating laugh. The laugh was old and sinister, and it was definitely not Ugly Crow's own voice, but rather the voice of the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

"I never imagined that my worthless disciples couldn't even handle a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator, and instead lost their lives. Truly the worst of the worst!"

His gaze fell on Luo Ming, a hint of approval flashing in his azure eyes. His tone carried a touch of seduction: "Little fellow, you do have some skills. To have such cultivation at such a young age, and even to be able to raise so many spirit beasts, if you are willing to become my disciple, I will spare your life and even teach you supreme demonic arts, allowing you to quickly break through to the Nascent Soul stage and roam freely across the Chaotic Star Sea. What do you say?"

Luo Ming frowned and remained silent, his spiritual power surging wildly at his fingertips as he desperately urged the twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls. No matter how he urged them, the Xuan Yuan Pearls were still blocked by the azure demonic fire. What made him even more anxious was that the divine sense imprints attached to the Xuan Yuan Pearls were sending out a piercing burning pain.

"Not good!" Luo Ming was startled and hurriedly withdrew his consciousness, but he was still scorched by the cold demonic fire. He felt a surge in his sea of ​​consciousness and almost lost his mind.

He never expected that the demonic fire of the Extreme Yin Ancestor would be so strange, able to ignore the sealing formation set up by the Xuan Yuan Pearl and directly erode the divine sense imprint within the magic weapon. You must know that the divine sense imprint is the bond between a cultivator and a magic weapon. Once it is completely destroyed, the Xuan Yuan Pearl will become an ownerless object, and may even be controlled by the other party!

Before Luo Ming could think further, a thought struck him, and he hurriedly summoned the Fat Sun Bird to help defend against the demonic fire's attack.

He knew that the spirit flame of the Fat Sun Bird was inherently able to suppress evil spirits, and now that it had devoured the essence of its own kind, its aura had already risen to the peak of a level five demon beast. Only its spirit flame might be able to withstand this strange Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire.

Before the words were finished, a crimson figure suddenly soared into the air. At this moment, layers of spiritual flames swirled around its wings, with golden light punctuating the blazing white, a sign that its spiritual power had been condensed to the extreme. The heat wave emanating from its body instantly dispelled some of the bone-chilling cold emanating from the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

The Zhiyang Bird let out a clear cry, and with a sudden flap of its wings, a vast expanse of golden and white spiritual flames surged forth like a tide, carrying the power to burn away all evil and yin, sweeping towards the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire surrounding Wu Chou.

"Sizzle—!"

The golden-white spiritual flames and the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire collided violently, but there was no earth-shattering roar, only a series of ear-piercing burning sounds.

Shockingly, the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire, which was originally unstoppable and capable of corroding the Profound Yuan Pearl, melted away at a visible speed the moment it touched the Spirit Flame of the Fat Sun Bird, just like ice and snow meeting fire. Its originally cold and eerie aura was also suppressed by the scorching power of the Spirit Flame.

"How is that possible?"

The Yin Ancestor, who was possessing Wu Chou's body, suddenly widened his azure eyes. His indifference and arrogance were instantly replaced by shock, and even a hint of disbelief.

His Heavenly Corpse Fire took him hundreds of years to cultivate. It is specifically designed to counter the spiritual sense of cultivators and righteous magic weapons. Ordinary Core Formation cultivators' spiritual fires are not even qualified to get close to it. Instead, they are corrupted by the Heavenly Corpse Fire. How could it be so thoroughly countered by the spiritual flame of a demon beast?

His gaze was fixed on the Zhiyang Bird, filled with naked greed and fervor: "Not only does it possess a wind-attribute beast with the bloodline of the White Tiger, but it also has a Xuan Turtle that has awakened lightning-attribute divine abilities, plus this Zhiyang Bird whose spirit flames are naturally able to suppress evil! This kid definitely has a big secret."

Once greed is ignited, it is difficult to control. The Yin Ancestor could no longer care about tempting Luo Ming. The Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire around him suddenly surged. Even though it was constantly being melted by the spiritual flames of the Fat Yang Bird, he still tried his best to activate his spiritual power, wanting to break through the seal set up by the Xuan Yuan Pearl and capture Luo Ming first.

The more effort he exerted, the more alarmed he became. The twelve round magical beads were now completely connected, their dark blue spiritual light interwoven into an impenetrable spiritual net. With the astonishing weight of the Xuan Water, the spiritual net was incredibly resilient, giving him the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire.

This formation appears gentle, but it is actually incredibly powerful, possessing both sealing and suppressing abilities. Even though his aura far surpasses the late stage of Core Formation and is approaching the threshold of Nascent Soul, his full-force attack can only cause the surrounding space to tremble slightly, and he cannot break through it even slightly for the time being.

In fact, Luo Ming was under great pressure when the Extreme Yin Ancestor bombarded the Xuan Yuan Formation with that demonic fire. This formation relied on the gravity of the Xuan Water itself, and its sealing effect was indeed amazing, but the consumption of magic power was also terrifying.

Moreover, this formation is very strong against area attacks like demonic fire, and only an extremely sharp magic weapon can possibly break through it in one strike.

He then realized why his grandson had awakened his distracted mind; it turned out he was trapped and unable to escape.

Possession has a time limit. If he cannot break through this tortoise shell in a short time, he might be killed by a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. Although he is only possessing Wu Chou's body, he can only exert 30% of his strength.

Seeing that the opponent was having difficulty breaking through the defense, Luo Ming was overjoyed and quickly ordered the Zhiyang Bird to attack together.

Upon hearing Luo Ming's command, the Zhiyang Bird's cry grew clearer and its wings flapped faster. Its golden-white spiritual flames intensified, like a blazing sun descending, as it roared towards the opponent's Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire. The two rapidly consumed each other in the air, and a nauseating corpse stench filled the air.

Trapped within the formation, the Yin Ancestor watched the approaching spirit flames and felt his primordial spirit power rapidly dwindling within him. A hint of ruthlessness and madness flashed in his azure eyes.

"Little fellow, don't be too smug! Today I'll show you the majesty of a Nascent Soul cultivator, one that a Core Formation cultivator cannot provoke. Even if it means my grandson's physical body is destroyed, I will refine you and this spirit bird together to vent my hatred!"

Before he could finish speaking, the other party spat out a mouthful of blood essence. His hands quickly formed hand seals, and his aura surged again. The pressure that was already approaching the Nascent Soul stage intensified even further. Under the impact of such a terrifying aura, Wu Chou's body began to tremble slightly, and fine cracks even appeared on the surface of his skin, with blood seeping out faintly. Clearly, Wu Chou's physical body could not withstand the full power of the Nascent Soul Ancestor's primordial spirit and was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire also unleashed its powerful force, crashing fiercely into the surrounding Profound Origin Heavy Water Array!
