Cultivating To Immortality

Lu Cheng raised his hand and waved, and tens of thousands of green flame sword shadows instantly appeared behind him.

With his furious roar, those sword shadows shot towards Fang Hong like a torrential downpour. Wherever they passed, even space was warped by the high temperature.

Facing the sky full of mixed flying swords, Fang Hong still maintained a calm demeanor, unfazed by the danger.

He raised his hand, and his magic power surged. A blue water ball, about ten feet in size, appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping him.

The mixed flying swords stabbed the surface of the water ball one after another, making puff sounds, and then were all bounced away.

This was precisely the Mirror Water spell recorded in the Five Elements Mystic Classic, a defensive spell, whose power lay in its ability to effectively deflect the opponent's spell attacks.

"Hmph, a mere mirror water spell. Watch me burn you to death with my exotic fire."

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, a look of disdain on his face as he saw this.

He raised his palm, and spiritual light flickered in his palm. This time, what flew out from his palm were no longer flying swords, but dense green light dots.

These small light dots were extremely tiny, not even one-tenth the size of a pinky fingernail.

If one looked closely, they would find that these were all tiny flame insects, their bodies emitting a green fire, and their numbers were astonishingly vast.

A rough estimate would put them at several tens of millions.

Fang Hong could tell at a glance that this was a very profound fire-attribute spell.

Although these small fire insects seemed inconspicuous, the magic power they contained was extremely terrifying. Each one could burn down a tall mountain, possessing considerable power.

"I'd like to see if your mirror water spell can deflect my fire mosquito spell," Lu Cheng sneered.

Immediately after, he manipulated the sky full of fire mosquitoes, which quickly converged to form a huge flaming storm, completely surrounding Fang Hong.

Fang Hong, at the center of the storm, clearly perceived the surrounding temperature rising sharply, as if he were in a giant furnace.

The blue water ball around him was constantly evaporating under the scorching heat, emitting thick white smoke from its surface, and the water ball was also shrinking at a visible rate.

"It's over," Lu Cheng said, a triumphant smile on his face as he saw this, activating all his magic power.

Once surrounded by his Fire Mosquito spell, one could only wait to be refined alive.

The power of the flaming storm grew more intense, yet Fang Hong's expression remained calm, showing no trace of panic.

He patted the small ancient house treasure at his waist, and with a flash of golden light, Little Rainbow jumped out and landed steadily on his shoulder.

"Little Rainbow, suck him dry," Fang Hong turned his head and smiled at Little Rainbow on his shoulder, his tone relaxed.

Against a cultivator skilled in using flames, Little Rainbow was undoubtedly the best helper.

Little Rainbow had just finished refining the blue flame it had obtained a few days ago, and its strength had successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation Early Stage. Fang Hong was very much looking forward to its performance.

"Geee."

Little Rainbow cried out excitedly, then opened its small mouth and began to frantically devour the flaming storm.

In just the blink of an eye, the originally mighty flaming storm vanished into thin air, completely devoured by Little Rainbow, without even a single spark remaining.

"Wh-what?" Lu Cheng's smile instantly froze, and his body trembled violently.

His most proud and signature skill was actually broken so easily?

What kind of exotic beast was that inconspicuous creature, like a small chick, to possess such Divine Power?

"My demon soul banner is very short-handed, Fellow Daoist. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Fang Hong said lightly.

As soon as his voice fell, a pitch-black banner slowly appeared behind him.

Above the banner, demonic qi surged, and the faint wails of countless wronged souls could be heard, with demonic light radiating in all directions.

A powerful demonic path demonic force instantly erupted, tightly enveloping Lu Cheng.

"Soul Banner spiritual treasure. I didn't expect you, kid, to be an demonic lord." Lu Cheng cried out in shock and anger.

"But unfortunately, it's ultimately just a crooked demonic path, not worth mentioning in front of my Heaven and Earth Exotic Fire."

Lu Cheng quickly calmed down and did not fall into panic.

The magic power within him circulated wildly, and the green exotic fire all over his body burned even more vigorously, forming a thick layer of flame armor.

The demon soul banner had no effect at all; the demonic qi simply could not penetrate.

Fang Hong could tell that Lu Cheng's flames were very peculiar, likely a kind of Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. This type of flame had a strong restraining effect on demonic power, much like the demon-repelling divine thunder restrains yin and demonic objects.

"Little Rainbow, keep absorbing. I want to see how long he can maintain his exotic fire," Fang Hong chuckled lightly and instructed Little Rainbow on his shoulder.

Little Rainbow happily chirped, opened its small mouth again, and began to devour the green exotic fire on Lu Cheng's body.

The green exotic fire on Lu Cheng's body actually began to detach from his body, uncontrollably, and flew into Little Rainbow's mouth.

"Damn it, that little chick is too evil. It can even devour my exotic fire. This place is not suitable for a long stay; it's better to leave first." Lu Cheng's face turned extremely ugly.

Fang Hong's methods were too bizarre, causing him an unprecedented sense of unease. If he stayed any longer, he feared for his life.

However, while Lu Cheng wanted to leave, Fang Hong had no intention of letting him depart so easily.

"Die."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Fang Hong's eyes, and he wielded the soul severing sword, slashing wildly at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng's face showed terror. In a hurry, he could only hastily activate the flying swords around him, engaging Fang Hong in a fierce battle.

Initially, Lu Cheng could still withstand Fang Hong's fierce attacks by relying on his realm advantage.

But Little Rainbow kept devouring the exotic fire on his body, causing his magic power to continuously drain, becoming weaker and weaker. Gradually, he began to fall into a disadvantage.

Finally, under Little Rainbow's continuous devouring, all of Lu Cheng's exotic fire was completely consumed, without even a single spark remaining.

Deprived of the exotic fire's protection, Lu Cheng was immediately suppressed by the demon soul banner, and the magic power in his body once again significantly declined.

At this moment, the magic power he had left was less than 30% of his peak state. With such strength, he could not resist Fang Hong's attack at all.

What made Lu Cheng even more despairing was that Fang Hong directly threw out a gourd, which swept away his life bound spiritual treasure.

Fang Hong seized the opportunity and pierced Lu Cheng's head with a single sword strike.

"Ahhhh." Lu Cheng let out a bloodcurdling scream, his eyes wide open, filled with terror and unwillingness.

He never expected that he, a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivator, would be defeated by a Divine Transformation Early Stage cultivator.

Before dying, Lu Cheng wanted to use the Nascent Soul escape technique to preserve a sliver of life.

But Fang Hong had seen this old trick countless times, and it had no effect whatsoever in front of his escape technique.

In just a few breaths, Fang Hong captured Lu Cheng's Nascent Soul, completely cutting off his path to survival.
