Chapter 310 Wolf-Headed Jade Ruyi
Just as the two-headed giant wolf transformed from the Jade Ruyi was struggling against the attacks of six Nascent Soul cultivators and was forced to approach the edge of the altar, Wu Chou, who was closest to it, suddenly burst out with wild joy!
He roared inwardly, his hands already poised to unleash a powerful spell!
"Awooo—!"
Accompanied by two chilling hisses, two giant black pythons, as black as ink, with scarlet eyes and exuding a dense yin energy and bone-chilling cold, shot out from Wu Chou's body with two "whoosh" sounds!
The two black pythons moved with incredible speed. In a flash, they approached the somewhat flustered two-headed ice flame giant wolf. They crossed and coiled around it, instantly wrapping their arms tightly around the wolf's waist and one of its hind legs!
The cold, dark energy frantically corroded the flames on the giant wolf's body, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound, and temporarily restricted the giant wolf's movement!
"good!"
The Extreme Yin Ancestor, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the wooden vine in the distance but was also keeping a close eye on the Fire Spirit's movements, saw this and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. He couldn't help but reveal a smug and approving smile on his face, secretly delighted:
"That brat Wu Chou, though his temperament is somewhat lacking, has cultivated the Profound Yin Transformation Technique quite well. This technique is most adept at capturing and binding spiritual objects and magical treasures. It seems this treasure is destined to fall into my hands!"
However, the joy on the face of the Extreme Yin Ancestor lasted for less than a breath before it suddenly froze, turning into a livid and furious expression!
With a sharp whistling sound, a dark green, phosphorescent, and intricately woven magic net shot out from behind Wu Chou without warning, its speed astonishing!
The net swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a radius of tens of feet, like a net that enveloped Wu Chou's two black pythons, along with the two-headed ice flame giant wolf that the pythons were coiling around!
Wu Chou's ecstatic joy instantly turned to shock and rage. He abruptly turned his head to look at Xuan Gu, who had unleashed a net of emerald green silk. His eyes almost spitting fire as he shouted fiercely, "You...you dare to snatch treasure from this young master?! Are you tired of living?!"
"Hmph!" Xuan Gu showed no remorse, instead letting out a cold laugh, his voice hoarse and indifferent: "Treasures belong to the capable. This item hasn't truly fallen into your hands yet, so naturally it doesn't belong to you. What's wrong with me taking a bite out of it?"
He was too lazy to waste words with Wu Chou, and before he finished speaking, the hand seals in his hands had already changed!
"receive!"
Suddenly, a dazzling emerald light burst forth from the emerald net! Countless tiny runes, leaping with eerie emerald flames, emerged from the net, which abruptly contracted and tightened inward!
"Sizzle sizzle—!"
The emerald green flames clinging to the wire mesh were clearly extraordinary, possessing strong corrosive and scorching properties.
The two giant black pythons that Wu Chou had condensed using the Xuan Yin Great Technique emitted a sizzling sound that made one's teeth ache when they were burned by the emerald flames.
The black, malevolent energy dissipated and shrank at a visible speed, and the giant python's form became illusory and unstable, greatly reducing its binding force on the two-headed ice flame giant wolf!
Seeing this, Xuan Gu's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. He had obtained this Azure Phosphorous Net from an unknown cultivator he killed on his way to the Void Heaven Palace. Although he had only refined it hastily and could not unleash its full power, it was still usable against a Transformation Treasure.
However, just as Xuan Gu was feeling triumphant and preparing to press his advantage to completely capture both the Fire Spirit and the giant python—
"cracking--!!"
A sharp, high-pitched, and penetrating bird cry suddenly exploded without warning near the space where the emerald green netting and the black python were intertwined!
Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of Xuan Gu and Wu Chou, a small, crimson-gold fireball, only about a foot in size, appeared out of thin air! The fireball swelled in the wind, instantly growing to a diameter of about ten feet!
A flash of light appeared in the fireball, and out of it sprang a magnificent, crimson bird with gorgeous plumage and wings ablaze with flames—it was Luo Ming's Fat Sun Bird!
"Fire Release Technique!" Xuan Gu's expression changed drastically, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Luo Ming's spirit beast would possess such a sophisticated Fire Release technique, capable of approaching so closely without a sound!
As soon as the Fat Sun Bird appeared, it gave Xuan Gu no time to react. It suddenly opened its sharp beak and aimed at the shrinking emerald green net in front of it, as well as the black python struggling in the net!
"boom--!"
A pillar of crimson gold fire, only as thick as a bowl but condensed to the extreme and radiating terrifying heat, tore through the air with a "hiss" and slammed into the emerald green silk net!
"Sizzle—!!"
The moment the crimson pillar of fire touched the emerald green net, it was like a red-hot iron being pressed onto a block of ice, erupting with violent corrosive and scorching sounds! The emerald green flames that had been leaping on the emerald green net were instantly suppressed as if they had encountered their natural enemy in the face of this supremely yang and powerful crimson spiritual fire!
Even the tough material of the mesh couldn't withstand the extreme heat and the yang fire, melting and softening at a visible speed. (You can read the latest updated chapters of "《》" without any issues on the "Renren Bookstore" APP, where over one million books are available for free reading.

"Pfft!"
The two black pythons that were already weakened by the scorching green flames were further weakened by the aftershocks of the crimson fire pillar, becoming like ice and snow under the sun.
With two "poof" sounds, most of it was melted and evaporated, and the remaining part quickly dissipated, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing!
"Luo Ming!"
"you……!"
Xuan Gu and Wu Chou's faces instantly turned extremely ugly. They turned around in shock and anger, staring intently at Luo Ming, their eyes almost spitting fire!
Luo Ming met their murderous gazes and chuckled:
"This item hasn't truly fallen into your hands yet, so I, Luo, am naturally qualified to make a move and compete for it! Don't you agree?"
Just then, the two-headed ice flame giant wolf, which had been trapped in the tattered silk net and temporarily freed from the Xuan Yin black python's restraints, suddenly burst out with a silver light in its eyes!
"Awooo—!"
It let out a short growl, and the azure ice flames around its body suddenly contracted inward! In an instant, the enormous wolf body shrank and condensed rapidly! In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a miniature wolf only a foot long, with a more restrained and deep bright silver color!
This miniature silver wolf was clearly more intelligent and agile! Its figure flashed suddenly, transforming into an almost elusive silver phantom, about to shoot out from the hole in the emerald green net and escape!
"Trying to run?!" Upon seeing this, Xuan Gu could no longer care about the loss of his magic weapon or his verbal sparring with Luo Ming. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and spat out a curse!
"call out--!"
A tiny, emerald-green dagger, only three inches long, hurtled towards the neck of the miniature silver wolf that had just transformed and was trying to escape, moving at incredible speed! Clearly, it was meant to stop its escape!
"Hmph!" Luo Ming naturally recognized the true nature of the emerald green knife at a glance and sneered inwardly.
High in the sky, the Zhiyang Bird, which was circling, moved upon receiving the command. It opened its beak again, and another condensed pillar of crimson-gold fire struck the blade of the emerald green knife that shot out with a "whoosh".
Just as the miniature silver wolf froze in shock from the two attacks, a three-colored rope appeared without warning less than three feet in front of it—it was Luo Ming's Demon-Binding Rope magic weapon.
It seemed to have been lying in ambush for a long time, and now it suddenly launched its attack, like a venomous snake, instantly binding the foot-long miniature silver wolf tightly! Runes flowed on the chains, emitting a strong binding force, and no matter how the silver wolf struggled, it could not break free even a little!
"Come here!" Luo Ming grabbed at the air with his right hand, and the Demon-Binding Rope shot back with a "whoosh," carrying the mini silver wolf that was bound like a dumpling and struggling incessantly, and landed steadily in Luo Ming's palm!
From Wu Chou's sudden attack, where a black python condensed using the Xuan Yin Transformation Technique coiled around the two-headed ice flame wolf, to Xuan Gu's sudden use of the Azure Phosphorous Net to disrupt the situation, to Luo Ming's use of the Zhi Yang Bird to launch a surprise attack with fire escape and to the spiritual fire breaking the net and burning the python, and finally to the clever ambush set with the Demon-Binding Rope, capturing the mini silver wolf in one fell swoop.
This series of dramatic and thrilling events and struggles, though seemingly long and tortuous, actually took less than twenty breaths from start to finish!
Luo Ming remained calm, but his gaze held a hint of scrutiny as he examined the spoils in his hand.
Perhaps it had truly resigned itself to its fate, for the miniature wolf ceased its struggles and, in a flash of inspiration, revealed its true form: a jade ruyi made entirely of unknown white jade, radiating an astonishing spiritual light.
Seeing the radiant treasure in Luo Ming's hand, Xuan Gu and Wu Chou's eyes almost spit fire!
All the cultivators present, whether they were Han Li, Wu Chou, and Xuan Gu in the Core Formation stage, or those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, were all very clear in their hearts—the rarity and value of the Transformation Treasure were so high that even some Nascent Soul stage cultivators might not have such a treasure.
Now, such a treasure, which would make even Nascent Soul cultivators envious, has actually fallen into the hands of a mere mid-stage Core Formation junior!
Several scorching, greedy, and possessive gazes pierced Luo Ming's body and the "Jade Ruyi" in his hand as if they were real.
Strangely, despite their burning gazes and churning greed, not a single Nascent Soul cultivator immediately made a move to openly rob Luo Ming.
Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi, and Mu Tengzi merely glanced coldly at Luo Ming, their gazes lingering on the "Jade Ruyi" for a moment before they turned most of their attention back to the Void Heaven Cauldron, which was still slowly rising in the center of the altar, and the Blood Jade Spider beside it, whose aura was weak but was still struggling to drag it along.
For them, the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Heaven-Mending Pill within it were the ultimate goal of this trip to the Void Heaven Palace, far surpassing the importance of a mere transforming treasure.
"Boom—!"
Just as the Nascent Soul cultivators were lamenting the loss of the jade ruyi, another wave of turmoil arose in the center of the altar, within the enormous, deep blue opening!
