Chapter 638 Sitting by the Abyss, Luo Chen Is at a Loss
The war is about to start!
The monsters here live in the outer sea and have almost no chance to communicate with humans.
Even if they have reached the third level and refined the horizontal bone in their mouths, they can't speak human language.
They roared recklessly and no one knew what they were saying.
Luo Chen and others didn't want to waste time talking to them.
This battle needs to be quick!
Resolve it quickly and try not to let the aftermath of the battle spread, so as not to affect the island's topography and the growth environment of the purple monkey flower.
Therefore, when this beast tide of thousands of people rolled in, Luo Chen, four people and one dragon did not hesitate to take ruthless action.
Duan Li activated the jade ruler, transformed into thousands of phantoms, and circled a large group of monsters. Every time the jade ruler fell, a large puff of blood mist exploded.
Sang Jiugong patted the ground, and hundreds of black vines broke out of the ground and tied up the three purple poisonous monkeys. Looking at this method, it is somewhat similar to the thorny poison vines that Luo Chen used to activate with vine magic during the foundation-building period, but the power is much greater. The three demon kings in the early stage of the third level were entangled by the black vines, roaring wildly but unable to break free, and even their bodies began to slowly shrink, almost feeling torn apart. Not only that, Sang Jiugong also took out a stone tablet and pressed it on the ground, turning the earth into a quagmire. Countless low-level monsters were deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Lushan Jun, by comparison, was much more free and easy. He controlled a blue flying sword and moved back and forth. He held a whisk in his left hand, but he didn't use it, but the white silk fluttered, and the killing intent was ready to burst out.
As for the knife light in the field, it was the method used by the Black King to control the two medium-grade magic weapons Yin Lu and Yang Jue. However, it was obvious that his method of controlling the magic weapons was quite rough, and the power of the two medium-grade magic weapons in his hands was not as good as that of Duan Li and others. Later, the Black King became impatient and opened his bloody mouth, using his innate talent to devour low-level monsters.
Among these people, the most domineering one was undoubtedly Luo Chen, who was very aggressive.
He did not use his broken moon wings, but his speed was still extremely fast.
Especially every time the void exploded, he would move dozens of feet horizontally in the air, land on the head of a third-level monster king, and then smash it with a hammer.
Every time he attacked, the monster king would be either dead or injured.
With his rapid movement, in just a short moment, three or four purple poisonous monkeys fell under the flowing fire hammer.
"Cry!"
A sharp bird cry sounded in the sky.
Luo Chen looked up and saw that this was the only bird monster among the many third-level monster kings mentioned by Duan Li in his previous investigation.
Judging from its appearance, it should be the golden crown flying eagle known for its infinite power.
"Hmph!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly, and nine chains suddenly appeared on his body and flew towards the sky.
Seeing this, the Golden Crowned Eagle was not afraid and stretched out its huge claws to pull the chain.
However, nine magic chains rolled up and wrapped around half of its body.
"Come down!"
Luo Chen shouted in a low voice, and the surging power suddenly flew up, and he also flew into the sky with the power.
The Golden Crowned Eagle encountered a huge force, and felt that the magic power in its body was not running smoothly, and it made a panicked bird cry when it fell.
In the golden eyes, a man suddenly jumped over its head and then smashed it with a hammer.
Boom!
In the sky, blood and flesh flew, and the sky was full of feathers.
This action ended very quickly.
From the time everyone heard the eagle cry to Luo Chen's move, it was only a few short breaths.
When they met again, there was only blood rain all over the sky.
Seeing this, the Black King couldn't help but drool. Master, what a waste!
The other three still had some strength left in the battle, so they also saw how quickly and violently Luo Chen dealt with a difficult third-level bird, and they were all awed.
Duan Li: "Brother Luo Hai's fighting method has become more and more advanced, and he has a sense of returning to nature."
Sang Jiugong: "Is this the method of Qingyang Demon Lord? I haven't seen him use the legendary giant tripod magic weapon, but he is so powerful."
Lushan Jun blinked his eyes and was also shocked.
"Didn't he fight a night with a great cultivator of the eighth level of the Golden Core on Qixing Island not long ago? Why is his magic power so powerful?"
In the sky, Luo Chen dealt with the golden crown flying eagle, and his eyes fell on the ground, glimpsing the whole picture of the battlefield.
His brows frowned.
Under the stranglehold of four people and one monster, the group of monsters entrenched on Ziling Island had no resistance.
At this moment, it has already revealed a trend of defeat.
The instinct of the monsters made them flee in all directions.
It can be imagined that once the monsters are scattered, it may be easier to deal with them, but it is also easier to spread to other places.
With a thought, Luo Chen shouted loudly.
"Don't hold back, everyone, get rid of the monsters here as soon as possible, don't let them escape back to their nests!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone sped up their actions.
Duan Li's mana increased the output, and the whisk in Lushan Jun's hand swept across, and the monsters were shattered wherever the flying silk passed. Sang Jiugong slapped the stone tablet in front of him with one palm, and the stone tablet suddenly expanded, and then pushed past with an unstoppable momentum.
The Black King was even simpler. His body size exploded and he killed into the group of monsters. The dragon swung its tail and swept a large area.
Luo Chen was not idle either. He put away the Flowing Fire Hammer, stood in the air, and flicked his ten fingers on both hands.
One after another, the fireballs fell like meteors, as if it was raining fire.
Anyone who was not at the third level would be turned into a huge fireball after his fireball spell landed, and burned to ashes amid screams and wails.
Luo Chen did not spare the few remaining third-level demon kings.
The Qingyang big handprint came out frequently and turned into flesh upon contact.
There are exceptions!
Luo Chen's eyes paused and fell on a huge crocodile that was running away in a hurry.
"Is this the third-order Abyssal Crocodile? His defensive ability is indeed outstanding. He can actually resist my Qingyang Grand Hand Seal."
With a thought, Luo Chen swooped down and headed straight for the giant crocodile that was as big as a small mountain.
Realizing that the enemy was chasing after him, the abyssal crocodile did not want to sit still and wait for death. It flicked out its ferocious tail and smashed the rocks in front of it like dried mud.
The crocodile's tail swept across and headed straight for Luo Chen.
"snort!"
Luo Chen snorted softly, his palms suddenly expanded, and before he could move, he grasped the crocodile's tail.
Both feet are inserted into the earth, motionless as a mountain.
A low growl.
"rise!"
With both hands exerting force, under the frightened gaze of the abyssal crocodile, he forcibly lifted the giant crocodile into the sky, and then slammed it down.
boom!
The earth trembled and the wilderness shook.
An exclamation came from Sang Jiugong in the distance, "Qingyangzi, be careful!"
This is because he is afraid that he will use brute force to destroy this small Purple Spirit Island.
Luo Chen's eyes flashed with sternness, and he suddenly jumped to the top of the giant crocodile's head, slapping down his giant palm.
The palm that breaks mountains and shatters monuments!
Overbearing magic power surged out.
The giant crocodile rolled on the ground as if it had been hit hard.
But the strong defensive power still protected his life under this palm.
This is not a crocodile, it is clearly a turtle!
Luo Chen's eyes trembled, Jing Hua Shui Yue immediately activated, and the giant crocodile suddenly lay stiffly on the ground.
Taking this opportunity, Luo Chen took continuous shots with both palms, from the giant crocodile's head to its tail, a distance of tens of feet, with intervals of three feet.
A palm! Two palms! Three palms... wait until after nine palms.
Luo Chen turned his hands into claws, grabbed the giant crocodile's solid scales, and shouted sharply.
"The Overlord removes his armor!"
laugh! ! !
The sound of flesh and bone being separated is endless.
The sight of blood and flesh is shocking.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a crocodile writhing crazily on the ground with only bright red flesh and scales missing.
The rocks and soil fell on the blurred flesh, making it even more hideous and disgusting.
And the red-robed Taoist just stood there dragging an empty carapace.
Seeing that the crocodile was rolling and about to reach a place where purple monkey flowers grew vigorously, he casually struck it with a palm and killed it.
After all this was over, Luo Chen panted heavily and looked slightly relieved.
Lord Lushan first got rid of the monsters on her side. Looking up at this moment, he frowned when he saw the relaxed look on Luo Chen's face.
Qingyangzi, you’re a little perverted!
Only Luo Chen himself knew why he was so violent just now.
During the battle at Deadwood Ridge, the power of Nascent Soul made him feel powerless.
During the battle on Seven Star Island, he was ambushed, his hands were tied, and he was beaten throughout the whole process.
This made him, who had always had smooth sailing after coming to Beihai, feel extremely frustrated.
Therefore, he vented his anger into this battle.
Using his explosive air step at top speed and pure power, he crushed these monster beasts that were bewitched by the purple monkey flower, venting the anger in his heart.
Only now, after peeling off the scales of the Abyssal Crocodile alive, did he vent his anger.
Seeing the unpleasant look from Mr. Lushan, he casually dropped the crocodile carapace.
"Sorry, I just lost my temper a little bit."
Mr. Lushan smiled reluctantly and nodded silently.
It was a loss of composure, but it also showed the domineering force of the other party's methods.
If these methods were used on her, she might not be able to withstand a few rounds.
"With such a strong man, we can only make friends, not enemies!"
Luo Chen didn't care what she was thinking at the moment, and casually cast a cleaning technique to wash away the bloody smell on his body.
look around.
The battlefield situation has already been established.
Duan Li and Hei Wang were chasing down some small groups of monsters that had escaped.
Sang Jiugong was collecting the broken corpses of monsters and gathering them into a pile. This was related to the ripening technique he would use later.
Overall, this battle can be said to have been won very easily.
It was not what Luo Chen expected, after all, all the steps had already been calculated in his mind.
And what follows is even simpler.
…
Three days later.
Duanli and Lushan Jun said goodbye to Luo Chen and left together.
Luo Chen and Sang Jiugong were the only two people left on Ziling Island.
The Black King wanders in the nearby sea, hunting low-level monsters in the sea and bringing the corpses back to Purple Spirit Island.
In the valley on the island that looked like a sinkhole, Luo Chen and Sang Jiugong squatted on the ground and carefully picked three purple monkey flowers that looked like monkey brains.
"Including the one on the cliff, these four purple monkey flowers that have reached the fourth level will fall into my hands."
Luo Chen carefully preserved it in a jade box.
Then, he watched Sang Jiugong bury the broken corpses of monster beasts under the sinkhole, including the body of the third-order abyssal crocodile.
The valuable parts of these monster beasts have been removed by Luo Chen.
Or demon elixir, or scale armor, or wings.
But only the blood, muscles, and bones were left untouched by him.
In sight, Sang Jiugong buried a large number of monster beast corpses and filled them with a large amount of fluffy soft soil. Then in front of Luo Chen, he took out a jade bottle and poured about a bowl of green water onto the soil. liquid.
After doing all this, Sang Jiugong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The spiritual veins on Ziling Island are of average quality, and they have been absorbed by four fourth-level purple monkey flowers without restraint. They have long lost the possibility of advancement, and now they are just waste."
"Take the blood and flesh of a large number of living creatures, plus my uniquely prepared golden mulberry green liquid, this place can become the most fertile growth environment for purple monkey flowers within ten years."
After listening to him, Luo Chen showed his puzzlement.
"Ten years, is it enough?"
Sang Jiugong smiled slightly, "Of course it is not enough. It is not so easy to ripen these third-level purple monkey flowers and let them save a thousand years of energy. Don't worry, I have some auxiliary means to increase the fertility of the soil to the maximum, enough to last for decades!"
Luo Chen's eyes lit up, "Oh, then Luo will wait and see!"
Sang Jiugong did not lie.
In the following days, he did use many high-level spiritual plant master methods that Luo Chen had only heard of in rumors.
Take the infinite sea water, melt Luo Chen's millions of spiritual stones, and then use the formation to arrange the circulation of the cloud rain technique, and every three months, a spiritual rain will fall.
The raging fire burned Ziling Island, and countless ancient trees turned into ashes and were piled up in the tiankeng. This is the Binghuo burning technique, which can improve soil fertility.
Even the Black King was used as a coolie to go down to the deep sea to collect many shells for Sang Jiugong, and then crushed them into powder with demonic power and evenly sprinkled them in the tiankeng.
Such a variety of methods made Luo Chen a little dazzled.
It also made him realize that any skill, to reach a high level, is not necessarily easier than alchemy and casting.
After the cultivation of the purple monkey flower "growth base" in the tiankeng, almost half a year has passed.
At this time, Sang Jiugong started the formal transplantation of purple monkey flowers.
He wanted to transplant all the purple monkey flowers on the entire Ziling Island.
With the power of the entire tribe, he raised hundreds of third-level purple monkey flowers, allowing them to transcend the natural growth time of a thousand years and advance to the fourth level in advance.
Luo Chen did not intervene except for assisting Sang Jiugong by performing the Binghuo Burning Wasteland Technique with the original true fire at the beginning.
The Black King became a laborer and was ordered around by Sang Jiugong.
For a while, Luo Chen was idle.
It was not to say that he was completely idle. He wandered around Ziling Island, checked the terrain, and arranged a suitable island protection formation to prevent powerful monsters from breaking in and destroying the growth of spiritual medicines in the days when he was away.
In this process, Luo Chen began to reflect on the shortcomings of his current fighting methods.
Although he was good at spells, those low-level spells were still powerful when he cast them.
But as the realm increased, low-level spells eventually had limitations, and the threat to the same-level cultivators and even higher-level enemies was greatly reduced.
The landslide and scorching sun techniques that were used as killing moves in the past, even if they were constantly optimized, no longer had the decisive effect of killing with one blow.
His signature move, the Qingyang Great Handprint, can still be used, but the advantage of a large range becomes a flaw in front of high-level enemies, where the range is large but the power is not concentrated enough.
Unless it is a creature of the same huge size, otherwise it will be ineffective against a flexible human cultivator or a powerful defensive magic weapon.
In front of a cold pond with a chill, there are traces of a giant crawling, which must be the habitat of the abyss crocodile.
Rather than a pond, it is better to say an abyss.
Luo Chen planted a formation flag, then looked at the deep and bottomless abyss and fell into deep thought.
"The third-level spell has actually become useless to me."
It's not that the third-level spell is not strong. With his hard work and systematic deduction, the third-level spell of great perfection can still burst out with powerful power.
This level of power is quite effective against the early and even middle stages of the Golden Core.
But it is obvious that Luo Chen has long been not afraid of such enemies.
His imaginary enemies now are all great monks in the late Jindan stage, and even possible Yuanying Zhenren!
In his calculations, the fourth-level spell may become a new trump card.
But the fourth-level spells are rarely circulated in the market, and only Yuanying Zhenren can master them.
He now has mastered two fourth-level spells, namely the Dragon Slaying Spell and the Yuandan Spell.
But neither of them is an offensive spell. Even if the Dragon Slaying Spell has evolved to the effect of cutting off the soul, it is still limited to Luo Chen's sea of consciousness and cannot be released.
The Yuandan Spell is extraordinary. The Yuandan refined by Luo Chen provides him with a "second hidden energy source".
After a stalemate with Baizaoshanzhu on Qixing Island for a whole night, he was able to kill people on Ziling Island. The Yuandan in his body after removing the Jindan played a big role.
His current powerful magic power is no less than that of the late Jindan!
Bai Zaoshanzhu shouldn't have been defeated so badly in the battle of mana foundation, but the opponent had to manage the Beidou Seven Mountains Formation while controlling seven medium-grade magic flying swords to set up the sword formation at the same time, how could he last long?
On the contrary, after Luo Chen used many means, the Xuanchen Armor could absorb the free spiritual energy of earth attribute and the energy of the earth veins.
Therefore, in the end, he was able to defeat the opponent calmly and still have strength to spare.
"But these are ultimately foundations, and cannot directly present a strong killing power!"
Luo Chen was distressed to find that he had fallen into a bottleneck in the magic that he was best at.
Even if he could create his own spells with his deep accumulation, it was obvious that the spells he created would not reach the fourth level in terms of grade and power.
Not only spells, but also magic weapons!
He has many magic weapons in his hands, whether it is the Hunyuan Ding, the Broken Moon Wings, or even the Luobao Copper Coins and the Flowing Fire Hammer, they are all top-notch.
There are also magical and extraordinary magic weapons such as the Lan Ke Black Chess and the Yanglong Basin.
But in the final analysis, these magic weapons are more inclined to auxiliary and defensive nature.
The Flowing Fire Hammer has good attack power, but the speed is too slow. It is not as fast as him holding it in his hand and flying over to hit someone.
As his life magic weapon, the Hunyuan Ding has extraordinary potential and has miraculous effects in many aspects.
The only thing is that it is slightly lacking in attack.
Luo Chen had expected this situation a long time ago. Comprehensive development means comprehensive mediocrity. The Hunyuan Ding has a deep foundation and will definitely not be mediocre, but at least it cannot become a powerful weapon in his hands in the short term.
In fact, this dilemma also appears in most Jindan cultivators at the same time.
As a life-saving magic weapon, Jindan cultivators value its profound background and comprehensiveness, which will be lacking in attack.
Therefore, many Jindan cultivators will try their best to master a second offensive magic weapon after their realm is improved and their mana is surplus.
For example, Luo Chen does not know what the life-saving magic weapon of Diao Sou is, but it is obvious that the combination of Xuanjin Gan, Sheyin Bell, and Tiancan Line is a combination of magic weapons that he specially refined to make up for the gap in attack.
Another example is the master of Baizao Mountain who met not long ago. His life-saving magic weapon is the extremely heavy Baizao Mountain, but the attack is the fierce and sharp Seven Evil Swords.
Luo Chen also took this path before, with Hunyuan Ding as his life-saving magic weapon, highlighting comprehensiveness, and practicing Xuanchen Armor to defend the whole body.
There is Xuanhuo Sword in front and Liuhuo Hammer in the back as attack weapons.
In the past, he thought it was enough, and it was indeed enough. After all, he had many means and almost no shortcomings, and he always had a way to restrain the enemy.
However, after facing the enemy in the late Jindan period, he found that there was a big gap.
"I lack a purely offensive magic weapon!"
Luo Chen sat cross-legged by the cold pond and found a problem that he had overlooked before.
Finally, he saw his sturdy body through the reflection in the water.
"My body is obviously extremely powerful, far beyond the third-level monster, and comparable to the real wild beast!"
"However, my use of it is too rough, and it seems that I have not exerted my true potential at all."
In the battle of Qixing Island, Luo Chen was suppressed from beginning to end and had only one chance to counterattack.
In this case, the suppression of the Big Dipper Seven Mountains Formation by the Lord of Baizao Mountain was one aspect, and his development and utilization of his body was another.
He believed that if Wang Yuan, who had such a physique, encountered such a situation, even without many spells and powerful magic weapons, he would not be so passive.
In his mind, Wang Yuan's comment on the "Tian Peng Transformation" technique inexplicably emerged - how can a demon-like transformation compare to the true body of our human race.
"Is the Tian Peng true body not suitable for frontal combat?"
Under the condition of space suppression and speed restriction, the Tian Peng true body seems to be just a living target.
What if it is replaced by Wang Yuan's giant spirit transformation?
One by one, Luo Chen found out the problems one by one, like a basin of cold water poured on him.
After years of practice, continuous progress, admiration from all walks of life, and compliments from peers, Luo Chen, who has long been intoxicated with success, suddenly sobered up in front of the cold abyss.
At this moment, he found that while he was getting stronger and stronger, his shortcomings and flaws were also increasing.
"It shouldn't be..."
The Taoist sat by the abyss, muttering to himself, with a confused look in his eyes.
