"These well-hidden fourth-order magical beasts have all awakened, absorbing the spirit mechanisms!"
"Jingtang, you make the move!"
Lin Jingfang trusted this brother-like figure very much. Regardless of combat strength and realm, the opponent’s talent in cultivation was something he could not reach.
He said there were fourth-order magical beasts inside, so there must be truth to it.
He carried the longsword on his back and slowly drew it out.
"In that case, let me find it and seize its core for your cultivation, to help you advance further on the Dao of God Transformation!"
As he spoke, he stepped into the lush forest.
As soon as he entered, the creatures inside sensed his fierce killing intent.
In an instant, numerous vines flew from above and below.
Lin Jingfang was unafraid, his treasure sword swung continuously, scattering sword light, shattering all the vines.
He advanced all the way, with Lin Bufan closely following behind.
"Its disguise is astonishingly good!"
Lin Jingfang praised, slashing his treasure sword at an angle, sending a giant sword light towards a withered tree.
At that moment, the withered tree suddenly came alive!
A tree branch broke through the air and struck horizontally.
The powerful force directly shattered the sword light. Thɪs chapter is updated by novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Not only that, more branches rose, covering the sky and shrouding the entire forest.
Lin Jingfang took a deep breath, "Xiao Fan, step back a bit. This thing is tricky and seems unaffected by my Nascent Soul Domain; I need to exert more effort to deal with it."
Lin Bufan nodded and quickly stepped back a bit.
Without needing to take care of him, Lin Jingfang had no more worries, fully unleashing his abilities.
In the vast forest, terrifying mana fluctuations erupted immediately.
With the sound of a bell, the ancient forest spanning hundreds of miles turned to dust at a visible speed.
As the powder floated in the air, a flash of white light swiftly flew out.
In the next moment, Lin Jingfang, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, rose to the sky holding a large golden bell.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
The big bell emitted golden light, illuminating the white light from a distance, making it impossible to hide.
Lin Jingfang held the bell, trailing behind from afar, keeping it within the range of his divine consciousness.
The two chased one another, until within Lin Jingfang’s divine consciousness, another immense divine consciousness appeared, shining like the sun.
His expression changed, shouting, "How dare you!"
A soft laugh responded to him.
"Why wouldn’t I dare? Such a precious item should be claimed by the fated one."
Lin Jingfang’s face turned ashen, seeing a mid-aged man in a white robe and gray hair reaching out towards the white light from a thousand miles away in his divine consciousness.
Amidst the vast clouds, a gigantic claw emerged.
Lin Jingfang’s pupils contracted, wondering if it was a technique or a body technique?
But immediately, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Thinking to subdue a fourth-order magical beast this easily is too naïve.
Sure enough, the giant claw emerging from the clouds seemed to grasp the white light, but in an instant, white cloud gas seeped through the fingers of the giant claw.
The seeping cloud gas coalesced again in a moment.
Luo Chen murmured softly.
The Cloud Probing Divine Claw at full strength couldn’t capture this severely wounded fourth-order magical beast?
However, he was prepared.
With a thought, the Nascent Soul Domain enveloped the heavens and the earth.
The white light’s speed remained unaffected, completely unhindered.
Luo Chen frowned, the Nascent Soul Domain was ineffective too?
"What exactly is this illusion beast? It seems I need to reveal some real techniques."
Without any apparent action, he only placed his right hand vertically in front of his chest, forming a Dao Seal Technique.
In the next moment, multicolored radiance emanated from his body, transforming into thick red chains in an instant.
A soft command, and nine red chains thrust into the void, locking the white light.
No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t escape.
Eventually, its true form was revealed, a white withered tree.
Is this the appearance of a fourth-order illusion beast?
In his surprise, Luo Chen saw a handsome man arrive in front of him.
Looking at the big bell, Luo Chen understood.
"Alarm Bell, you’re Lin Bufan’s protector, Lin Jingfang?"
Lin Jingfang first glanced at the illusion beast withered tree bound by the nine red chains, filled with astonishment, his natal magic item Alarm Bell had its suppression ability greatly increased after advancing to a True Device.
That’s precisely why the family head specially assigned him as Lin Bufan’s protector, facilitating the suppression and collection of the illusion beast core.
Unexpectedly, the magical beast that took him a lot of effort to suppress was easily captured by the opponent.
His gaze finally settled on the white-robed, gray-haired man.
"Huang Independent Cultivator!"
"Since you know I’m protecting Lin Bufan, you should also know Xiao Fan and your protector Fu Qinglan are friends."
"Being friends, how can you snatch away his beloved?"
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.
Behind him, Fu Qinglan’s figure slowly emerged.
According to their agreement, Luo Chen was in charge of matters related to combat.
But when it involved her friends...
Fu Qinglan nodded, "Xiao Lin Zi is indeed quite close to me; since they found this illusion beast first, then they should have it..."
Smile with some disapproval, revealing mockery in its meaning.
The previously relaxed Lin Jingfang suddenly had a bad premonition.
"If it’s a friend, you let it go. Would you do the same for your fellow disciples?"
"If it were the three sons of Giant House, especially at times of Shi Ju, would you let it go?"
"This item involves your opportunity for Divine Transformation; would you still hand it over?"
"Fu Qinglan, since you bear the responsibility of revitalizing your clan, you should know that many things cannot be yielded."
"Just like now! Just item!"
Since coming to Zhongzhou, Luo Chen, who had always been calm and composed, was now extremely aggressive.
Every harsh word, every questioning voice, left Fu Qinglan at a loss for response.
The nine red chains, carrying the illusion beast withered tree, flew towards Luo Chen, and in his hand, he already held a seal gesture, his eyes full of coldness.
"Since I’m her protector, within this Cave Heaven, anything regarding her Great Dao Path, I, Luo Chen, will not let go!"
