"Hehe, you're really bold. Don't you remember the power of the illusion array?
What you're seeing now is an illusion! "Ling Xiao smiled at Cao Caocang.
Sure enough, Cao Caocang became nervous when he heard this.
However, he quickly adjusted himself and said, "Hmph, you've been on the run for so many days and you still have the time to set up an illusion array. I'll consider you impressive. Hand over your life!"
Cao Caocang roared in shock and the spear in his hand shot out at Ling Xiao.
The power was so majestic that it pierced through the sun, moon, and stars. No wonder he was a high-level Supreme-Being!
Dragon Fifth let out a roar and his body transformed into his true form. The Dragon Pearl swallowed forward, and a world-shaking power blocked Cao Cang's attack.
"What a True Dragon Divine Beast. Submit to me!
Only I am worthy to be your master! "Cao Caocang admired this mighty True Dragon even more now.
As he spoke, he summoned his peak mid-tier 11th-grade Holy Beast.
This was a Golden Lion. Its golden fur shone with a dazzling light and its mountain-like body was exceptionally mighty!
"Eat that kid for me!"
Cao Caocang ordered the Golden Lion to deal with Ling Xiao while he personally fought the True Dragon Divine Beast.
Cao Caocang believed that his strength was enough to deal with a True Dragon Divine Beast that was one grade lower than him, even if it was using the power of the Dragon Pearl!
But Ling Xiao was only a low-level Divine Power. Even if he had flesh, blood, and divine soul, he could forget about hurting the Golden Lion!
However, he really didn't know how terrifying Ling Xiao was. He didn't just know how to set up an illusion array. His combat strength was unparalleled among those of the same grade!
Ling Xiao summoned his divine soul clone again. This time, he didn't hide anymore. He charged at the Golden Lion and used the Imperial Dragon Sky-Destroying Art to fight it.
The blazing Heavenly Fire made the Golden Lion extremely uncomfortable, but it was not so easy to deal with. Its lion roar was almost as terrifying as a dragon's roar, shaking Ling Xiao's soul to the point that it almost collapsed.
It was just that Ling Xiao wasn't really fighting to the death with his Divine Soul Avatar. This was just a ploy to distract the enemy. The real killing was still on his side.
The Divine Bodhi Bow had already appeared in his hand, and his combat power increased by 70 times. He locked onto the Golden Lion's aura, preparing to kill it in one strike!
Ling Xiao wanted to shoot at Cao Caocang, but he was not strong enough to deal with him. Moreover, Cao Caocang had a high-rank Ancient God artifact. It would be a pity if he destroyed his Divine Bodhi Arrow!
Xiu!
The powerful green arrow shadow shot towards the Golden Lion.
Cao Caocang sensed that this power was extraordinary. He glanced over and shouted, "Male Lion, be careful!"
He wanted to go over and block the green light, but the Divine Beast True Body was extremely difficult to deal with. It forcibly blocked his energy path.
The Golden Lion was still fighting with Ling Xiao's Divine Soul. When it heard Cao Caocang's warning, it also sensed the power of the arrow.
It relied on its nimble movements to leap out of the way.
Ling Xiao's Divine Soul Avatar continued to attack with the Heavenly Fire, injuring the Golden Lion several times. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Fire couldn't even touch its flesh.
The Golden Lion thought that everything was fine after dodging the arrow shadow, but the arrow suddenly turned around and shot towards its rear.
Rumble!
In the end, the Golden Lion was still too careless, and the Divine Bodhi Arrow struck its rear. More than half of its flesh festered, and fresh blood splattered everywhere. The Golden Lion howled in pain.
"Damned bastard, I'll kill you!"
Cao Caocang roared in fury. He forcefully evaded Dragon Fifth's attack and charged towards Ling Xiao.
Dragon Fifth continued to chase after him, but he was still a hair's breadth from catching up.
Cao Caocang turned his spear into a staff and smashed it towards Ling Xiao's head.
Clang!
There was no way Ling Xiao could dodge the power of a high-level Supreme-Being's attack. His head took the blow, and his body was smashed into the ground, shattering many charred rocks!
This strike could kill anyone below the level of a high-level Supreme-Being!
However, Cao Caocang could clearly sense that Ling Xiao wasn't dead yet. A powerful reaction force appeared above his head, blocking the power of the Ancient Divine Spear.
"This little bastard really has a lot of good stuff. I must kill him!" Cao Caocang said with a greedy expression.
At this time, Dragon Fifth attacked again. The power of the Dragon Pearl emitted a heaven-destroying divine might that enveloped Cao Caocang.
Cao Caocang had no choice but to turn around to face Dragon Fifth. He planned to cripple this True Dragon before he could properly deal with the other little bastard!
However, his pitiful Golden Lion had more than half of its body destroyed. Before it could recover, Ling Xiao's divine soul blasted out the Twin Dragon Wind Fiendish Dragons, finally breaking through its defenses. The destructive power invaded its body.
Roar!
Roar! The Golden Lion was burned and corroded by the destructive power. It was in excruciating pain, causing it to roar incessantly!
Cao Caocang was distracted once again. He took a swipe from the dragon's tail and was sent flying.
Ling Xiao's real body appeared again. That blow from the staff had scared him so much that he almost lost his soul. If not for the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop, he would have died without a doubt!
This Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop was his life-saving treasure!
Ling Xiao's divine soul attack succeeded, so he didn't attack the Golden Lion anymore. It could no longer escape the Heavenly Fire. It was doomed!
After his divine soul returned, Ling Xiao swallowed a divine pill and a stalk of Ghost Soul Grass to recover soul power. A confident expression appeared on his face. "You dare to chase me alone? Then you can stay here forever!"
Ling Xiao drew out all his soul power. With the help of the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop, Shadowless's Golden Dragon Spear pierced through the void and directly attacked Cao Caocang.
Cao Caocang didn't know that Ling Xiao knew a soul power attack secret technique. He was also fighting Dragon Fifth. His sea of consciousness had no defense at all. The soul power golden spear pierced through his divine soul!
"Ah!"
He clutched his head and screamed. His body immediately lost its ability to attack and defend. Dragon Fifth took this opportunity to wreak havoc and ruthlessly swiped down with his dragon claws.
Cao Caocang's divine body was basically torn apart by this powerful strike.
Cao Caocang was scared out of his wits. He just remembered that the dead Tong Buyi once told him that this kid knew a soul power attack secret technique. How could he forget this?
He was already regretting chasing alone. He thought that as long as he could stall this True Dragon Divine Beast and let his Saint Beast Protector eat that little bastard, everything would be fine.
Now, he really regretted not stacking his divine body!
His divine body quickly recovered, and he quickly retreated. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
"It's easy to come, but it'll be hard to escape!" Ling Xiao naturally didn't want to let Cao Caocang escape again.
He summoned his ghost and launched a soul power attack at Cao Caocang at the same time!
Cao Caocang was injured first, so he wasn't as fast as before. Although his divine soul had entered a defensive state, it was useless against the combined attacks of Ling Xiao and the ghost!
His divine soul suffered another heavy blow, and he clutched his head and screamed in pain. This time, his injuries were even more severe!
Dragon Fifth chased after him, swinging his dragon tail and sending him crashing into the charred rocks. His divine body began to crack.
Dragon Fifth didn't let him go just like that. He continued to chase after him and unleashed another barrage of attacks.
Cao Caocang's divine body exploded again and again. His flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and his aura fell to its lowest point.
This time, it was impossible for Cao Caocang's divine weapon to take him away. It was firmly suppressed by Ling Xiao and couldn't move at all.
After all, it was just a divine weapon. Without Cao Caocang's leadership, it was nothing to be afraid of. Last time, Ling Xiao had only let it escape with Cao Caocang because he'd been careless.
Cao Caocang had come alone, but with Ling Xiao and Dragon Fifth's cooperation, he'd been beaten to the brink of death.
Ling Xiao was overjoyed. "Three mid-grade puppets died, but I've gained a high-grade supreme expert. It's worth it!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao used the Soul Locking Spell to restrain Cao Caocang.
Ling Xiao finally had a high-grade supreme puppet, which gave him another layer of protection on the Domain Road!
After taking down Cao Caocang, Ling Xiao could finally have a good rest.
The continuous battles of attrition were too much for him to bear. He was simply too exhausted.
Several days later, not only had Ling Xiao recovered, but his God Soul had also reached the peak of the mid-grade.
His God Soul had reached this level so quickly because he'd absorbed the God Souls of many Supreme and Incipient God Realm experts, including Tong Buyi's high-level God Soul. His God Soul had been strengthened quickly. Previously, he'd received the Heavenly Lightning Baptism, which made his energy even purer. Three days ago, he'd absorbed the God Souls of the three fallen mid-grade supreme experts. With the help of the soul energy, he'd successfully reached the peak of the mid-grade.
After Ling Xiao recovered, he let Cao Caocang eat the Ghost Soul Grass to heal his wounds. Then, he took him, Dragon Fifth, and the ghosts out of the scorched stone space.
The area occupied by the scorched stone space wasn't small, and Ling Xiao had chosen a place that was far from the Domain Road. Naturally, it wouldn't be easy to return to the Domain Road.
Along the way, he'd encountered many strong groups of earth attribute holy beasts and some giant stone men, forcing him to fight and run.
Of course, he'd also collected many divine blacksmithing materials along the way. They were all rare materials that were hard to find in the outside world.
Not only that, he'd also sensed some Supreme and Incipient God Realm experts wandering or cultivating in this area.
Of course, they were the earth attribute Supreme and Incipient God Realm experts. They could use this natural environment to become stronger!
Unknowingly, Ling Xiao had left the scorched stone space and gone to another space area that was even more dangerous.
When Ling Xiao sensed the abnormality of this space, they were all involuntarily sucked in by the power of that space.
Ling Xiao, Dragon Fifth, and the ghosts weren't ordinary existences, but they still couldn't resist the disturbance of this power. It showed how strange and powerful this space was!
