Li Shiming smiled and stroked the little phoenix's feathers. The blood of the red-gold phoenix was indeed terrifying. It was so young but it could have a deterrent effect on a third-grade monster.
“Brother, you have to be careful and prepare your Dharma image!” Lu Heng saw the spirit beast coming forward, and while commanding the Green-Armored Phosphorescent Bull to charge forward, he kept reminding him.
"I'll pay attention!" Although Li Shiming agreed, he did not use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image immediately.
He is different from Lu Heng. Once he uses the Nascent Soul Dharma Image, it will consume a lot of his energy and he will not be able to hold on for too long.
He couldn't just enter the battlefield and enter the identity jade disc to apply for rotation. He couldn't afford to lose face.
The fourth-grade blue-armored phosphorescent bull completely crushed the group of spiritual beasts that were at most the third-grade in strength.
Wherever it passed, a straight line was immediately cleared.
The Green-Armored Phosphorescent Bull let out a triumphant cry and kept charging back and forth among the spirit beasts.
It can be seen that if there were no fourth-grade spiritual beast, Lu Heng alone could defend this position.
Li Shiming looked into the distance. Although it was called a tide of spirit beasts, the spirit beasts had not yet truly formed the momentum of a huge tide.
Most of these spiritual beasts are first or second grade spiritual beasts, and third grade spiritual beasts are the main combat force.
"I forgot that senior brother has just been promoted for a short time!" Lu Heng saw that Li Shiming had not activated the Nascent Soul Dharma Phase for a long time, and then he thought of the reason why Li Shiming did not activate the Nascent Soul Dharma Phase.
"My total spiritual power is still a little less!" Li Shiming admitted with a smile.
"Then you have to be careful, senior brother. Many of the fourth-grade spirit beasts are very cunning. They often appear to launch sneak attacks. Don't let the golden corpse get involved here. Let the golden corpse protect you!" Lu Heng said helplessly.
He somewhat regretted leading Li Shiming to fight alone, as he might not be able to hold on with his strength.
It would be fine if there was only one fourth-grade spirit beast, but if there were two, it would be troublesome.
He knew something about the golden corpse. It was a good helper for cultivators, but it could only be auxiliary. The main combat force still came from the cultivator himself.
Li Shiming nodded. He also discovered that when they reached the sea, the "Nanming Fire" in the golden corpse Nanming's body was obviously suppressed.
This place is deep in the ocean, and the void above the ocean is filled with water spiritual energy, which greatly interferes with the "Nanming Lihuo" of the Golden Corpse Nanming.
He sensed his body and found that the good thing was that his five Nascent Souls formed a 'Five Elements Air Gathering Array' in his body, so he didn't need to worry about the 'Nanming Lihuo' in his body being affected by the environment.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the five Yuanying in his body maintain the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Formation". If the Fire and Thunder Yuanying are used alone, they will still be affected by the ocean environment.
But if he really needed his Nascent Soul to join the battle, he would not use the Fire Thunder Nascent Soul. Wouldn't the Earth Thunder Nascent Soul, which has a restraining effect on water-based spiritual energy, be better?
However, the Golden Corpse Black Shield was not affected at all, which is good news.
In fact, if he releases the Phantom Dragon, it will be like a fish in water. This kind of environment is like a dragon entering the sea for the Phantom Dragon, and even its combat power may be improved.
"Be careful!" Lu Heng screamed.
Li Shiming did not sense the danger, not because his perception was insensitive, but because he and Lu Heng had different definitions of danger.
Lu Heng didn’t know much about his fighting ability. In fact, he was already at the top among the cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
His strength cannot be judged by his realm. Indeed, his realm is enough to confuse other cultivators. They perceive that his realm is at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, but the total amount of spiritual power is only at the initial stage of the early Nascent Soul stage.
A small black panther flew out from the spirit beasts. This black panther had been hiding its strength until now, and only revealed its fourth-grade realm when it rushed out.
This is a fourth-grade ghost leopard that is good at sneak attacks and hunting. Other fourth-grade spirit beasts are thinking about improving their body size to increase their combat power, but the fourth-grade ghost leopard shrinks its body to achieve the goal of surprising the enemy and killing with one blow.
Lu Heng wanted to come over to help, but the fourth-grade ghost leopard was too fast and had already pounced to within five meters of Li Shiming.
Lu Heng felt regretful again. If something happened to Li Shiming here, how would he explain to his master and the sect?
Li Shiming's ability to refine pills is a valuable asset to the sect. He privately knows something that no one else knows, which is that his master, Master Hu, has asked Li Shiming to refine pills.
A month later, Master Hu was in a very good mood and gave Lu Heng some tips on cultivation.
Therefore, Lu Heng was very clear about this matter. He guessed that Li Shiming's level in refining the fourth-grade elixir of the great monk was probably not low. The reason why he was not well-known was probably because the great monk Hu deliberately suppressed him.
Just when Lu Heng was filled with regret, the Golden Corpse Black Shield moved. Before Lu Heng could see the process clearly, he saw that the fourth-grade ghost leopard had been caught in the hands of the Golden Corpse Black Shield.
He was confused throughout the whole process. What on earth happened?
He even felt his scalp tingling. If this inconspicuous golden corpse attacked him, would he be able to escape?
What speed is this, a secret burst or normal speed?
A series of questions popped up in Lu Heng's mind, and he didn't know how to ask them for a moment.
Li Shiming couldn't help but smile when he saw the fourth-grade ghost leopard. Even if this fourth-grade ghost leopard pounced on him, it probably wouldn't be able to break his defense.
At least the fourth-grade ghost leopard cannot cause any harm to him without activating the Dharmakaya.
This is the confidence of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if a fourth-grade ghost leopard activates its Dharmakaya, it cannot guarantee that it will break the defense of the top body-refining technique, the 'Taiqing Xuangui Jue'.
Most importantly, the marine environment here is beneficial to the 'Taiqing Black Turtle Technique', as the Taiqing Black Turtle likes the ocean.
The fourth-grade ghost leopard was in a very miserable state at the moment. If the fourth-grade ghost leopard used its full strength to launch an attack, it would take some effort for the Golden Corpse Black Shield to take it down easily.
But who could blame the Fourth-Rank Ghost Leopard for being too confident in its sneak attack and preparing to quickly attack Li Shiming, a cultivator who did not use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image.
Showing speed in front of the golden corpse's black shield is tantamount to seeking death.
Anyway, apart from the Divine Foot Skill, Li Shiming has never seen any other secret skill that is faster than the Cave Heaven Golden Corpse.
Perhaps this is due to his lack of knowledge, but it also shows how strong the speed talent of the Cave Heaven Golden Corpse is.
Just as the fourth-grade ghost leopard pounced on it, the golden corpse's black shield blocked the fourth-grade ghost leopard, and calmly reached out and grabbed the fourth-grade ghost leopard's neck, while launching a secret magic technique.
The magic secret technique completely destroyed the vitality in the fourth-grade ghost leopard demon pill, and killed the fourth-grade ghost leopard with one blow.
It cannot be said that the fourth-grade ghost leopard is too weak. These are two completely unequal battles.
The fourth-grade ghost leopard did not use the Dharmakāya, but the magic power displayed by the Golden Corpse Black Shield had the power of the Nascent Soul Dharmakāya. How could it not kill with one blow?
"Your golden corpse is really amazing!" Lu Heng let the Green-Armored Phosphorescent Bull continue fighting, and he praised it.
"This is the golden corpse that I obtained accidentally. It was well cultivated by the previous owner!" Li Shiming replied with a smile.
"Why don't I have such good luck!" Lu Heng was really envious this time. His previous envy was only for Li Shiming's luck, but this time it was for the golden corpse itself.
"I have no experience in dealing with spirit beasts, so I'll leave it to Junior Brother Lu!" Li Shiming issued an order to the Golden Corpse Black Shield, then said to Lu Heng with a smile.
Golden Corpse Black Shield obediently threw the dead fourth-grade ghost leopard in his hand to Lu Heng. Lu Heng separated a part of his spiritual consciousness and grabbed the fourth-grade ghost leopard.
"There are many useful things on a fourth-grade spirit beast. For example, the soul of a fourth-grade spirit beast needs to be collected using a soul collection gourd. Many cultivators need souls of this level.
The fur of the fourth-grade ghost leopard has the effect of hiding one's aura. If it is refined into a robe, it can produce an effect similar to invisibility.
Needless to say, as a master of alchemy, you know better that the fourth-grade ghost leopard's demon pill is the main ingredient for refining a fourth-grade elixir.
In addition, its blood also needs to be collected, which is a very good material. "Lu Heng explained to Li Shiming while operating.
After all, he was a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and his level of dealing with spirit beasts was much higher than that of the independent cultivators. Lu Heng's technique was extremely fast, and he finished it in a moment.
After dealing with the corpse of the fourth-grade ghost leopard, Lu Heng brought all the spoils to Li Shiming. Li Shiming did not hesitate to collect the spoils.
He is my senior brother, it won’t be too late to distribute the spoils after we return.
Their group is different from other groups. They are all disciples of the same master and have a closer relationship, so there is no need to worry about any unfair distribution.
The battle continued. This time Lu Heng didn't say anything more. He was still clearing out the low-level spirit beasts.
About an hour later, a lizard jumped out from the group of spirit beasts, and this time its target was still Li Shiming.
It was the Golden Corpse and the Black Shield again, blocking Li Shiming one step ahead.
This time, the lizard was much smarter than the fourth-grade ghost leopard last time. It activated its Dharma image in the air and transformed into a terrifying giant transparent lizard.
But just as the giant transparent lizard approached Li Shiming, the Golden Corpse Black Shield rushed forward and struck it. The black fist became huge and hit the giant transparent lizard hard.
This is not over yet. The golden corpse's black shield mysteriously appeared in the opposite direction of the giant transparent lizard and attacked again.
The huge transparent lizard that was hit by the previous attack was about to fly back, but this attack stopped its retreat.
The attack of the Golden Corpse Black Shield continued. It appeared in another direction of the giant transparent lizard, and it was another blow that the giant transparent lizard could not catch.
The Golden Corpse Black Shield was so fast that the giant transparent lizard's eyes could not track it, let alone defend against its attacks.
Each attack carried the power of a devastating blow, so great that it penetrated directly into the Dharma image of the giant transparent lizard.
That is to say, the Dharma image of a fourth-grade spiritual beast has a defense bonus, making the already amazingly defensive fourth-grade spiritual beast even more powerful.
But if you can’t break this defense once, twice, or three times, then what about ten, twenty, or thirty times?
The Golden Corpse Black Shield appeared at unimaginable speed in every incredible position beside the giant transparent lizard, and dealt it a heavy blow.
In its hands, the magic power exerted a more terrifying power than ever before.
Perhaps even its original owner, the Emperor of the Netherworld, did not expect that this magical skill, combined with unparalleled speed, would allow the Golden Corpse Black Shield, which had just been promoted not long ago, to have the combat power to suppress a fourth-grade spiritual beast that manifested the Dharma form.
The battle was still going on, but Lu Heng on the side was stunned.
He finally understood why Li Shiming didn't use his Nascent Soul Form. It turned out that he was using him as bait, at least that's what he thought.
Isn't it the most obvious target for a human cultivator standing on the battlefield without using the Nascent Soul Dharma?
The fourth-grade spirit beasts are not creatures without intelligence. They will naturally choose to attack the Nascent Soul cultivator who has the weakest defense.
Especially those fourth-grade spiritual beasts that are good at sneak attacks. I’m afraid that all the fourth-grade spiritual beasts that are good at sneak attacks in this area have come here.
The previous fourth-grade ghost leopard and the current fourth-grade chameleon lizard are both fourth-grade spiritual beasts that are good at sneak attacks.
The fourth-grade chameleon can use its skin to change the appearance of its body and simulate a corresponding state to hide its true self.
With a "crack", Lu Heng was surprised to see that the fourth-grade chameleon's Dharma image was forcibly broken up by the golden corpse's black shield.
The golden corpse with black shield appeared in the light spot where the Dharma image dissipated, stood behind the neck of the fourth-grade chameleon, and smashed it down with his fist.
The fist turned into an enlarged giant fist in the air, and the black fist tip carried terrifying power and destructive power.
This attack, because it had lost the defensive power of the Dharmakāya, directly acted on the body of the fourth-grade chameleon, allowing the magic power to penetrate into its body and destroy its vitality.
"Let me do it this time, we can't waste it!" Lu Heng flashed and appeared next to the golden corpse's black shield and said loudly.
If Li Shiming had not issued the order in time, the Golden Corpse Black Shield's punch would have already been launched.
"It's because you called me early!" Li Shiming shook his head.
"Brother, the value of this fourth-grade chameleon lizard is much greater than that of a fourth-grade ghost leopard. You have to be careful when collecting it!" Lu Heng said with shining eyes as he looked at the corpse of the fourth-grade chameleon.
He even put away his Nascent Soul Dharma Image. Anyway, standing next to Li Shiming and with such a powerful golden corpse around him, his safety was still very high.
“The skin of a fourth-grade chameleon is even rarer than the skin of a ghost leopard. If it is made into a magic weapon, it can allow cultivators to transform into other appearances. Even strength and realm can be simulated at the same time. Of course, it is fake, but in the perception of other cultivators, it can be mistaken for the real thing.
This is the blood of a chameleon, which contains dragon blood. Look why the monks from the sects responded so well and came here to participate in the mission. Many of them came just for this blood!
This is the claw of a chameleon. Because it has the nourishment of dragon blood, its quality is still very high. It can be added to offensive magic weapons to increase their sharpness.
This is the demon pill of the chameleon. In addition to refining the pill, if you give it to a dragon-type spirit pet, there is a certain chance that the dragon bloodline will be enhanced! "Lu Heng patiently explained while operating.
When he handed the spoils to Li Shiming, Li Shiming only accepted the skin of the fourth-grade chameleon and none of the others.
"Only this skin is interesting, you can keep the rest!" Li Shiming had no interest in such weak dragon bloodline. With dragon bloodline like this, even if there were a hundred more, it would not be possible to improve the bloodline of the Phantom Dragon in the slightest.
