Chapter 1816: Awakening

ir eyes fixed on the dark cave dwellings. Could similar scenes have unfolded within themLiang Yan smiled slightly and said, “What Scared of such a small scene If you don't want to die, remember what I...The monstrous ox opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of silver mist. The mist reeked of demonic energy and an extremely foul stench. It materialized into a towering storm, charging forward with fury.

Qin Sang felt the sinister aura from the mist. His mind moved slightly, and immediately a bolt of lightning shot out from his brow, transforming into a divine talisman in mid-air.

The divine talismans weren't a single one, but three!

The Jade Pure Summon Thunder Talisman.

Flowing gold, firebell thunder summons.

As well as the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart True Talisman!

Although the Jade Purity Summoning Thunder Talisman and the Golden Stream Fire Bell Thunder Call are talismans that carry first and second-tier Daoist scriptures, they have become talismans without a doubt due to the efforts of the Daoist ancestors. They are profound and complex, not to be compared with ordinary talismans.

As a cultivator's cultivation level increases, the power of the talismans will also increase accordingly. They can still be used as a means of self-defense and are easily summoned and dismissed at will, making them extremely convenient.

More importantly, the same talismans are connected in a lineage. By penetrating the divine symbols, one can fuse them together, connecting them with qi.

Therefore, Qin Sang realized that the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Talisman was not the limit. He wondered when he could merge the three talismans, making them one cohesive force, to achieve the ultimate power of the Five Thunder Seal!

He can now combine the Yuqing Summoning Thunder Talisman and Liu Jin Fire Bell Thunder, but to comprehend the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart True Seal Talisman, he needs to reach the stage of refining emptiness. The fusion of the three talismans is still a distant goal.

However, even with the Lian Shuang Fu and the Five Thunder Celestial Heart Seal, it can still bestow the power of lightning.

'Click!'

The thunder materialized out of thin air.

Above the battlefield, the night sky was suddenly illuminated. Bolts of lightning raced across the heavens, and for a moment, it seemed as if thunder rained from the sky.

Not only lightning but also balls of fire descended.

Flames raged across the sky, staining the heavens a fiery red. It was as if a god had kicked over his furnace, sending sparks raining down from above. Above the sea of flames, a divine figure emerged like a vision from heaven itself.

He arrived on a divine chariot, surrounded by flames that blazed fiercely. The heavens and earth roared, as if the thunderous might of a celestial warrior had swept through them before vanishing in an instant, leaving behind endless bolts of lightning fire.

In the Ten Thousand Gods Thunder Mansion manual, there is indeed a god named Golden Firebell General, who is also the only general in the second-rank talismans that can be summoned.

Though not a true god's presence, the thunder and fire it brought were awe-inspiring, like a force that could burn mountains and boil seas.

For a while.

Thunderstorms rage, and flames rain from the sky.

'Boom!'

A clap of thunder shook heaven and earth.

A brilliant light pierced the battlefield, heaven forming thunder marks, its might shaking the world! Compared to this lightning bolt, even lightning and fire seemed dim.

Three talismans issued forth, vanquishing evils and purifying impurities.

As the demonic aura surrounding Qin Sang dissipated, it vanished under the thunderous might, revealing a monstrous bull charging at him.

...

Lightning flashed like rain, constantly striking the monster bull. The sounds were like thunderous drums.

>

The ox demon roared in fury, and the antlers on its head shimmered with an eerie glow, transforming into crystalline, jade-like antlers. Afterward, the tips of the antlers flashed silver.

Silver light spun, expanding at incredible speed.

In an instant, a gigantic silver disc appeared in the void. As it caught the fire lightning, its rotation speed increased rapidly, eventually transforming into a silver wheel that charged towards Qin Sang.

At a glance, it was clear that the silver wheel was extremely sharp, and even the slightest carelessness could result in being dismembered by the silver wheel.

'Whoosh!'

The silver disc flew in, slicing through the void and appearing before Qin Sang in the blink of an eye. He didn't dodge or evade, instead raising his right palm with its center facing the silver disc.

Compared to this, the palm is so fragile, it wasn't even cut by the silver wheel, and was firmly grasped in his hand.

At this moment, the Zhenbao shard appeared in his palm, transforming into rippling water to block the silver wheel.

Even the raging bull was momentarily stunned by this sight, and then it became even angrier. It used its antlers as a weapon and charged forward furiously.

Qin Sang let out a cold snort, his arm curving and extending in a fluid motion, causing the silver wheel to veer off course, narrowly missing him. At the same time, his figure flashed, appearing eerily beside the monster bull. He unleashed two powerful punches, striking the monster bull's shoulder with force.

The strange ox stumbled, but its thick hide protected it; these wounds weren't fatal.

Unless other beasts were drawn in, Qin Sang was unwilling to fight quickly. He relied on his strong defensive abilities and the power of the ox to hold it off, using his Gray Nightingale Sword to attack primarily.

High above, countless Jianxing rained down, leaving trails of wounds on the monster ox. Qin Sang used the monster ox as a medium to verify his previous insights and delved deeper into swordsmanship.

The strange ox fell into a similar predicament as the departing marquis, nearly driven mad. The prey before him seemed to be covered in a layer of tortoise shell; his invincible magical powers had met their match today.

Have you not seen that when Qin Sang fought the monstrous ox, vast swathes of ancient trees in the jungle withered

This was the reason why the wood spirit's energy had been drained. As the spiritwood body continuously absorbed it, a deathly aura gradually permeated the forest.

Such a blatant sign, if faced with a normal opponent, would immediately allow them to recognize Qin Sang's reliance and devise a counterstrategy.

It's a pity that the strange ox only has brute strength.

>

Heavenly star movement.

A sword beam sprang from the first star mansion, Kui, shooting towards the rest. After six bends and leaps, it finally entered the mouth of the Ts'ui Mansion. With each bend and leap, the sword beam solidified a little more. By the time it shot out from the Ts'ui Mansion again, it was almost a real spiritual sword.

'Whoosh!'

Just like a sword that could cleave through immortals, it struck the demonic ox squarely, piercing through its armor-like hide and reaching deep into bone. Blood gushed out wildly.

The strange ox cried out in pain, its roar was terrifying. The tumors on its spine burst one after another, dark red pus and blood spurted out, then clumped together, becoming serpent-like monsters.

The monster's tail and ox body were fused together, with nine serpent heads on its upper body, all glaring angrily at Qin Sang. It was extremely eerie.

Qin Sang was stunned for a moment, unsure whether it was the ox demon's supernatural powers or another ferocious beast parasitic on its body.

‘Boom!’

>

The Lightning Talisman is unleashed again.

Nine strange snakes were destroyed by divine thunder, but they immediately regrouped and entwined with each other, transforming into a giant python.

>

The ox and the snake were truly like two ferocious beasts, cooperating seamlessly to attack Qin Sang.

The strange serpent spewed blood mist, quickly shrouding most of the void. It emitted a nauseating smell and its power was formidable.

If someone else were in this situation, they would probably be flustered. But Qin Sang, with his mastery of both physical and spiritual arts, dealt with it effortlessly.

He stood his ground, waving his thick arms and attacking the ox ferociously, while Grey Nightingale's sword was locked onto the serpent.

Suddenly, the sky was bright.

The night sky disappeared, it turned out Qin Sang had put away the Qixu Fenjian Formation. Following that, seven phantoms materialized beside the monster snake, transforming into brilliant sword beams in a flash.

Seven Souls Killing Formation!

The Seven Constellations Sword Formation can both attack, defend, and trap enemies. It's very versatile, especially when paired with Qin Sang's powerful physique, complementing each other perfectly. Since he mastered this sword formation, Qin Sang rarely uses the Seven Souls Killing Formation anymore.

Seven blades, interlocked in a dance of death, coalesced into a single, awe-inspiring killing sword. Infused with endless murderous intent, it slashed down with terrifying speed.

'Pff!'

Only a sword glow pierced deeply into the monster snake's head, along its long body, splitting it in half on the spot.

The pus blood separated into nine clumps, twisting and turning unpredictably, before quickly reforming into a serpentine shape.

Qin Sang wanted to see what the strange snake truly was, so the Qisha Killing Formation only targeted the snake. Now it seemed that after rejoining, the snake's aura had weakened, while the Ox roared incessantly, suggesting that it was the Ox's magical powers, not another ferocious beast.

The moment the nine strange snakes formed, the Grey Nightingale Sword trembled. A barely perceptible glint of sword light shot out from its tip and vanished into the brow of one snake.

>

Qin Sang, who was wrestling with the monster bull, paused slightly. This blow seemed to have taken a toll on him.

The strange snake suddenly stiffened and burst apart with a loud bang.

Without warning, another strange snake beside it also froze, its head exploding into pus and blood, leaving only the remnants of its body swaying.

Qin Sang lightly exhaled and shook her head secretly.

He learned a sword technique from the Chengying Sword's transmission, but he hadn't fully comprehended it yet. When he used it now, it was indeed very difficult.

After another fierce struggle, the demonic bull exhausted all its divine powers, yet it was still unable to defeat Qin Sang.

Qin Sang still wanted to use it for enlightenment and was unwilling to let it go, but the Heavenly Eye Butterfly sent a message.

In the depths of the abyss, dark clouds surged towards this place. The mountains were rapidly engulfed, as if attracting ferocious beasts or malevolent spirits, and there seemed to be more than one.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Qin Sang's expression darkened, and the Heaven-Breaking Soul-Severing Needle flew out of his hand.

The reappearance of the Sword Star, the White Tiger approaching, its roar shaking the mountains. He clenched his fists, blood seeping through the knuckles of his gauntlets, his killing intent palpable.

>

Beyond this jungle, there was only darkness, punctuated by the occasional flash of sword light and starlight.

The ground shook incessantly, with thunderous booms echoing continuously, followed by agonizing roars of pain.

The clouds are gradually approaching.

Suddenly, the darkness receded like a tide.

Qin Sang transformed back into a human, holding the corpse of the strange ox in one hand. He glanced back, thunder wings sprouted on his back, and he broke through the air, leaving behind a devastated scene.

>More than 70% of the ancient trees in the forest have withered away, and those that remain are also discolored and yellowed, almost turning into a dead forest. Several peaks on Mount Lin Shan have collapsed, and the ground is riddled with potholes.

The speed of the Thunder Escape is extremely fast, and in no time, one couldn't see the dark clouds behind.

Having flown a distance again, Qin Sang stopped to confirm there were no pursuers behind him. He swept his surroundings and landed on an isolated mountain.

'Bang!'

The corpse of the strange ox smashed onto the ground.

Qin Sang, with his gray sparrow sword, dismembered the imperial envoy's corpse. The most valuable parts were the demonic core on the monster bull, the antlers of the deer, and the nine clumps of pus. He carefully categorized and stored them.

Having quickly divided the spoils of war, Qin Sang sat cross-legged in meditation.

He wants to understand the gains of this battle.

After several hours.

Qin Sang slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of hesitation in his gaze.

Both Guiniu and Lǐ Hòu were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he had single-handedly slain them both. The two battles brought him vastly different insights.

It's not a matter of sequence.

Qin Sang's brows furrowed, and she had a growing feeling that her previous understanding was flawed.

> Perhaps this time, because the opponent is a ferocious beast, their mind is confused.
