How powerful was a Second Disaster Spirit Treasure?
The mid Dharma demon cultivator in front of him, who also wielded the only First Disaster Spirit Treasure of his race, clearly had a deep understanding of this.
With just three strikes, he was already at a complete disadvantage, and he could only use all his skills to defend himself.
The other early Dharma Demon King who had come with this demon cultivator was about to step forward to help, but unexpectedly, a pair of flying swords had already been handed over to Tiankang Laozu the moment he attacked.
Lu Ping had condensed the six sets of sword techniques of the North Sea Wave Listening Technique into a brand new magic talisman in the Danxia Purple Aura. In addition, Lu Ping had refined the Thunder Calamity Water to push his level of training to the peak of the Core Forging stage. His abilities had more than doubled. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill the early Dharma Primordial Fierce Crocodile with just one strike.
Lu Ping's earlier surprise attack had given him the upper hand, and he had forced the Demon King to retreat. When the Demon King saw clearly that the person he was fighting was Lu Xuanping, who had recently become very famous in the North Sea training world, he was also shocked, and for some reason, he began to panic.
It was just that this early Dharma Demon King was obviously not someone that the unintelligent Primordial Fierce Crocodile could compare to. Although this person's race was not considered prominent, and he had entered the Dharma stage later than the Golden Serpent Island Lord, he was still a well-known member of the demon clan, and his level of training was not considered weak among the demon cultivators of the same level.
After withstanding Lu Ping's storm-like attacks, the Demon King was also embarrassed into anger. Although the person in front of him had a fierce reputation for defeating and even killing Dharma adepts of a higher level, it did not mean that every early Dharma adept could be trampled on by him.
The Demon King roared angrily, and with a special magic, he directly hit Lu Ping's Beautiful Autumn Dew Sword so hard that it almost flew out of his hand.
Lu Ping didn't expect the Demon King in front of him to be someone who had mastered the Innate Great Divine Ability. He almost failed miserably.
Lu Ping's recent challenges against Dharma adepts had been too smooth, so smooth that he had almost forgotten himself. If not for the fact that he had advanced to the pinnacle of the Core Forging stage, this unknown Dharma Demon King in front of him might have even used his special ability to injure Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's divine sense was strong, so he quickly controlled the twin flying swords from afar. Then, he unleashed more than a hundred sword strikes to nullify the monster king's innate great skill. However, the monster king managed to regain the upper hand. Now, both sides were back on the same starting line.
"Ha!"
The monster king roared angrily and a huge seahorse avatar floated in the air, glaring at Lu Ping like a tiger watching its prey.
"Help me, I agree with what Brother Tian Kang has said!"
Lu Ping and the Demon King were both stunned. When they turned to look, they saw that the battle between Tian Kang Laozu and the mid Dharma Demon King had already ended. From the Demon King's slightly disheveled expression, it was obvious that he had been defeated by Tian Kang Laozu.
When the Demon King looked behind Lu Ping, he did not know when the Jade Sword Sect's Jade Sword Laozu was already standing in a position to help Lu Ping. It was obvious that if Lu Ping showed any signs of losing, Jade Sword Laozu would step in to help.
The Demon King glared fiercely at Lu Ping, his eyes burning with the desire to fight. However, in the end, he had no choice but to retreat to where the mid Dharma Demon King was.
Tian Kang Laozu smiled and nodded in the direction of Jade Sword Laozu. Jade Sword Laozu also smiled and walked back to the position he had occupied earlier.
"Since Brother Ran Liang has no objections, these five medium Spirit Veins will be taken by our sect!"
Tian Kang Laozu said to Jade Sword Laozu, "Brother Jade Sword, how many do you intend to take?"
Jade Sword Laozu turned and looked into the distance. Another two Dharma adepts were rushing over. He understood Tian Kang Laozu's good intentions, so he smiled and said, "Two. I only need two medium Spirit Veins!"
Two Demon Kings had yielded. Jade Sword Laozu was obviously in cahoots with Zhenling. The lone practitioner, Laozu Xiang Lou, naturally did not want to offend these two sects. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "I am just a lone practitioner. I only need one medium Spirit Vein!"
Even Hua Yu Laozu, who had returned with Ling Gu Sect's Nanyun Laozu, could only watch unwillingly as Zhenling began to set up the Spirit Drawing Formation, drawing all five medium Spirit Veins into the formation.
At this time, another mid Dharma adept had also rushed over. It was Chong Ming Sect's San Tan Laozu. With Jade Sword Laozu and Tian Kang Laozu as support, they also drew two medium Spirit Veins.
Just like that, Zhenling's side alone had nine medium Spirit Veins. Of the remaining six, Xiang Lou Laozu had one, Hua Yu Laozu had one, Nanyun Laozu had one, and the two Demon Kings had three.
As for the Core Forging adepts, in front of these Dharma adepts, they did not have the slightest bit of weight. They were like children without the support of adults. They could only watch as the other sects divided up the benefits.
Tian Kang Laozu looked at Lu Ping. Seeing that Lu Ping had nodded, he then turned to Jade Sword Laozu and San Tan Laozu, who had already finished setting up the Drawing Formation, and said, "My two friends, please go ahead first. I will activate the formation later!"
San Tan Laozu had a puzzled look on his face, but he heard Jade Sword Laozu say, "That's good too. We will first draw this Spirit Vein away."
As the earth shook and the mountains swayed, the four medium Spirit Veins began to move continuously through the Earth Veins. In an instant, they had already left the Spirit Vein on the Lone Peak. However, it was unknown how long it would take for these four Spirit Veins to reach the mountain gates of Yujian Sect and Chong Ming Sect. And the Drawing Formation that was set up between the two sects would also consume more resources as time passed.
Zhenling drew the most Spirit Veins, so it would take the longest time to activate the Drawing Formation, not to mention the time it would take for the Spirit Veins to move in the Earth Veins.
At this time, Xiang Lou Laozu also began to activate the Drawing Formation. The other sects were also nearing the end of setting up the Drawing Formation.
When Old Ancestor Tian Kang saw this, he placed the five supreme-grade spirit stones in the center of the guiding formation according to the positions of the five spirit veins. The entire formation was instantly activated and started to circulate the formation with a commotion that was even more terrifying than when Jade Sword Sect and Chong Ming Sect activated the formation.
At this time, the other sects also began to activate their Drawing Formation. Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, Lu Ping stood there motionlessly. If someone were to pay close attention to his face, they would see that rays of light blue light flashed across his face, and Lu Ping's entire face looked darker and darker.
The entire Lone Peak shook for nearly ten minutes before it gradually calmed down. Although the entire peak, which was originally full of Spirit Qi, was still filled with extremely thick Spirit Qi, this Spirit Qi was like water without a source, a tree without roots. Without the support of the Spirit Veins, this Spirit Qi would eventually dissipate between heaven and earth.
Huayu Laozu of the Feiyu Sect and Nanyun Laozu of the Linggu Sect left in a hurry after the Spirit Veins were activated. After that, the two Demon Kings also left quietly. Xiang Lou Laozu, on the other hand, greeted Tian Kang Laozu and the others. Tian Kang Laozu was naturally very polite to Xiang Lou Laozu, a Dharma adept who was born as a Rogue Practitioner.
Only Yujian Laozu and San Tan Laozu were left. The two of them seemed to have something to discuss with Tian Kang Laozu.
"Brother Tian Kang, are you not interested in the Sea Bell?"
San Tan Laozu saw that Yujian Laozu had spoken first, so he said directly, "Brother Tian Kang, if the three of us join forces, there is a high possibility that we can compete with the others!"
Tian Kang Laozu laughed bitterly and said, "This time, I'm afraid I'll have to implicate the two of you!"
As he said that, he told the two of them about Lu Ping's analysis. He said, "I didn't expect that this time, I brought a Second Tribulation Spiritual Treasure, but I became the target of everyone. Now, whether it is the Demon Clan or the Blue Sea Sect, the other cultivators, they don't want the Sea Bell to fall into the hands of our sect. If the two of you appear with me, we will definitely face attacks from both the Demon Clan and the Human Clan."
Yujian Laozu and San Tan Laozu both felt that it was a pity. However, it seemed that the two of them had not given up and still wanted to try their luck. After bidding farewell to Tian Kang Laozu and San Tan, they headed towards the direction where the battle was going on.
After the two of them left, Old Ancestor Tian Kang's calm and composed expression changed. He hurriedly walked to Lu Ping's side and asked, "How was it? Did something happen to you, brat?"
Lu Ping pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed an ugly smile. He said, "Fortunately, I managed to trick these people. Fortunately, I didn't attack the Jade Sword Sect and the Chong Ming Sect too severely. Otherwise, I would not have been able to hold on and would have been exposed in front of everyone!"
Tian Kang Laozu heaved a long sigh of relief and scolded with a smile, "You little brat, don't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefits. In this world of cultivation, how many people can use a Spiritual Treasure at the Core Forging Stage? And how many people can exert the full power of a Spiritual Treasure at the Core Forging Stage?"
After saying that, Tian Kang Laozu changed his previous scolding expression and asked with a smile, "How was it? How many benefits did you get this time?"
Lu Ping swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Linglong could be so powerful. There were three Spiritual Veins from the Monster Clan, one each from Fei Yu and Ling Gu, and one from Xiang Lou Laozu, a rogue cultivator. There were six Spiritual Veins in total, and Linglong intercepted half of them. After all, the Jade Sword Sect and the Chong Ming Sect are allies of our sect. So, Linglong showed mercy and only intercepted one Spiritual Vein in total. The rest of the Spiritual Veins had already been sent to the Main Drawing Formation of our sect when the Great Drawing Formation of our sect was activated."
Tian Kang Laozu's eyes lit up. He said, "That is to say, our sect has quietly obtained nine Spiritual Veins this time, which is almost equivalent to one Spiritual Vein of a Large Spiritual Vein?"
Lu Ping nodded and said, "That is correct. However, it is best for our sect to keep it a secret. We have to say to the outside world that we only obtained two and a half or three Spiritual Veins, and we have to say this in advance. In any case, our sect is the closest to Universe Island, and we are the first to complete the drawing of the Spiritual Veins. When the time comes, with our sect's example, even if the other sects only obtained half of the Spiritual Veins, they will only suspect that it was Canghai Laozu who did it, and not us!"
