Chapter 618: Chapter 613: Sky-Annihilating Earth-Extinguishing Soul Search Claw, Buddhist Dao Demon Sound Confusing God Bell

From all directions, figures simultaneously charged at Qin Feng.

Moreover, the nine figures’ auras were interconnected, and they had formed a battle formation. As they attacked Qin Feng, streams of black shadows emerged around them, resembling a net that covered both heaven and earth.

It was Wei Wusheng who, with the help of the Ghost Rope, had created an isolated space in the area where Qin Feng was located to prevent him from escaping if he couldn’t overcome Wei Wusheng during their fight.

All this might sound slow, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. Wei Wusheng appeared mere hundreds of feet in front of Qin Feng, casting divine power magic that filled the void with a mournful sea of clouds, in which one could faintly hear the wailing of ghosts and gods.

From within that murky fog, strange demonic claws reached out!

The Soul Search Claw of Heaven’s Extinction and Earth’s Demise was a Demon Shadow Sect’s secret demon technique that snatched souls and life force. At its peak, its power was boundless!

An ordinary cultivator, if caught by his claw, would likely have their soul snatched out on the spot.

Even though Qin Feng had a sturdy physique and formidable strength, if caught simultaneously by nine demonic claws, his Dharma Image would be shaken, and his blood and qi would be in turmoil.

However, Qin Feng certainly wasn’t going to stand still and let the enemy attack him.

“Clones? Interesting!”

A playful smile flashed across Qin Feng’s face!

Over the past few years, with the various factions of the cultivation world banding together to attack and break through the Demon Sects’ mountain gates, countless Demon Path cultivation method scriptures had been seized. Although Righteous Path cultivators wouldn’t cultivate these techniques, nor would they allow their disciples to peruse them casually, the characteristics of many Demon Dao cultivators’ cultivation technique divine powers had been spread.

The Clone Technique of the Demon Shadow Sect was a very peculiar secret technique. Although the method of cultivation was extremely cruel, it was also quite powerful. As a true inheritor of the Beast Taming Sect, Qin Feng naturally knew about these.

Thus, the moment Wei Wusheng’s form changed, he recognized this Demon Dao secret technique.

Seeing Wei Wusheng trying to use this method to slay him, Qin Feng let out a cold laugh, “Impressed by your own clones, are you? Now let me show you what I can do!”

Before his voice fell, behind Qin Feng emerged the Dharma Image of a Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon!

The Dharma Image was enormous, spanning two to three hundred feet. The nine fierce and terrifying dragon heads each faced a different direction from where the Demon Dao cultivators’ clones were attacking, and together they let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

Accompanying the roar were streaks of divine power: some were demonic flames that could burn divine souls, others were cold qi that could freeze the void, still others were holy spheres of light, and some were chaotic blades of space…

Each dragon head released different types of attacks, yet each divine power was immensely strong, not only breaking through the Soul Search Claw of Heaven’s Extinction and Earth’s Demise but also lengthening their necks to bite toward the clones of Wei Wusheng.

The sharp fangs in the dragons’ mouths shimmered with a chilling light that left no doubt of their potency!

“What kind of Dharma Image is that?”

Wei Wusheng’s voice came from one of the clones, his tone unable to conceal his surprise, “Judging by the emblem on your magic robe, you should be a cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect. However, the Dharma Images of the Beast Taming Sect usually resemble their lifebound spiritual beasts, but I have never heard of such a strange and rare spiritual beast in the world.”

“Hmph, the fact that you’ve never seen it just shows your ignorance!”

Qin Feng let out a cold laugh and said no more, nor did he consider the clone that had just spoken as Wei Wusheng’s true body to attack.

That’s because the Clone Technique of the Demon Shadow Sect had no true or false, no real or unreal–the switch between the main body and the clone happened in the blink of an eye. Even if eight of the clones were destroyed, the last one left could still be treated as his true body.

Hence Qin Feng didn’t waste his energy. Wouldn’t it be better to simply blow up all the clones at once?

As he moved his mind, the dragon heads opened their mouths wide, some spitting out water and fire or cold ice while others unleashed devouring divine power, fiercely attacking Wei Wusheng.

“Arrogant youth, do you really think I’m afraid of you!”

Wei Wusheng certainly had more than one divine power like the Soul Search Claw of Heaven’s Extinction and Earth’s Demise. He also possessed many other divine power secret techniques from different Demon Sects. Unfortunately, during his previous fight with the two fierce beasts, he had used up many accumulated treasures, or else he wouldn’t need to confront Qin Feng personally now; he could have just employed the puppets he had refined for combat.

Whoosh…

A Yin wind swept through, and Wei Wusheng silently retreated backward.

He planned to pull away and extend the distance from Qin Feng’s Dharma Image, then exploit the numerical advantage of his many clones.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that each dragon head would pursue him relentlessly. Stunned, he saw the bizarre Dharma Image suddenly split into nine, transforming into nine aggressive ghost dragons that rushed toward him with bared fangs and claws.

“Damn it!”

Wei Wusheng cursed inwardly but had no choice but to withstand the ghost dragons’ attack for his prior misjudgment.

Contrary to expectations, the distance between them grew shorter instead of further, making it impossible to avoid the ghost dragons’ onslaught.

What was even more crucial was that the nine ghost dragons, initially fighting individually, suddenly broke free from the other ghost hands and jointly attacked his two clones!

“Boom, boom, boom…”

After a series of explosions, the two clones were directly turned into dust!

Wei Wusheng’s expression grew ugly.

While the clone technique of the Demon Shadow Sect was exquisite, the clones that turned into flesh and blood, making it difficult to distinguish true from false, also diluted his strength.

His origin was damaged as the clones were destroyed, which would require decades to recover back to normal.

What shocked him even more was that, after Qin Feng’s Dharma Image had split into nine ghost dragons, it still managed to unleash such formidable combat strength, directly surpassing his own clones.

Was it because his Demon Shadow Sect’s clone technique wasn’t as strong as the opponent’s clone skill? Or was it this person’s profound foundation that put himself at a disadvantage?

Although he didn’t know what was happening, Wei Wusheng no longer dared to continue the fight.

He whispered a command, and the remaining six clones merged into a stream of light, fusing into the central figure, amalgamating the clones back into the true body.

However, having recovered to his true body, he appeared pale. With two clones destroyed and his strength compromised, he could only unleash at most eighty percent of his power from his prime.

But even at around eighty percent strength, he was still a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit Realm and not subject to being attacked separately by ghost dragons and easily defeated.

“The junior is sly, daring to plot against me!”

Wei Wusheng angrily waved his hand and took out a fist-sized green copper bell.

With a flick of his hand, he tossed the copper bell into the air, and it instantly transformed into a giant copper bell over a hundred feet tall!

“Dang…”

Wei Wusheng stood beneath the copper bell, sheltered by its frame while his hands worked the spells, sending waves of spirit light onto the bell. A series of deep and powerful sounds vibrated from the bell, turning into sound waves that rolled towards the ghost dragons surrounding him in all directions.

“Hmm?”

From a distance, Qin Feng frowned, sensing something strange about the bell’s toll.

The sound was immense, reminiscent of temple bells echoing through ancient mountains, yet within this seemingly ethereal tolling lay a trace of deceit, a buzzing that disturbed the void and beckoned like a call from an abyss, tempting the souls of living beings to fall.

This was a prized Buddhist treasure that Wei Wusheng had obtained years ago after obliterating an entire temple. He later combined it with the Demon Path refining secrets to forge it into a Demon Sect spiritual treasure, the Confusing God Bell!

With formidable power and boundless potential, he had intended to keep it as a trump card, planning to refine it into an Immortal Artifact when he would become a Demon Immortal. Thus, he had always nurtured it within his body, constantly conditioning it with demonic qi to enhance its power.

However, left with no choice against Qin Feng, he had to go all out and summoned this precious item!

Although Qin Feng was puzzled by the oddity of the tolling, he wasn’t the least bit complacent, because not only did the sound waves from the copper bell shock the soul, but they also targeted the physical body!

The ripples that faintly appeared in the void where the sound waves passed were evidence of their extraordinary potency.

Thus, under Qin Feng’s command, the nine ghost dragons spiraled in the void and merged into one, transforming into the Dharma Image of a Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon!

After all, only a complete Dharma Image could exert its most formidable power. If divided, its strength unavoidably fell, though not as significantly as the Demon Shadow Sect’s Clone Technique.

“Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar…”

The merged Dharma Image’s nine maws opened simultaneously, unleashing a Soul Suppressing Roar that countered the sound waves while also spewing forth strands of Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind!

The golden wind howled past, sweeping across heaven and earth in an instant, scattering the sound waves and striking the copper bell with tremendous momentum!

Dang dang dang dang dang…

A series of delicate, metallic sounds chimed from the bell, like rain drumming on banana leaves, clear and pleasant to the ear.

The Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind, belonging to the metal element, contained strands of wind as sharp as swords forged from gold and iron, swiftly breaching the protective shield around the bell and even leaving many marks on the bell itself, shocking Wei Wusheng, who was manipulating this supreme spiritual treasure.

He had never imagined Qin Feng would possess such a formidable divine power–if not for his immediate retreat under the bell, it would have been extremely difficult to withstand the golden wind!

“Roar…”

As shock gripped his heart, suddenly another roar echoed from outside.

Immediately thereafter, he felt an immensely powerful aura rise, followed by a sudden darkening of the world around him. While the distant surroundings remained bathed in sunlight, nearby it seemed as though plunged into eternal night.

Wei Wusheng sharply looked up, his eyes flashing with spirit light as he saw through the copper bell to the sky above.

At that glance, he trembled with fear.

For there, the Dharma Image of the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon had transformed into an enormous form two to three thousand feet tall, stirring wind and cloud with a twist of its body, and causing chaotic Gang Winds in the void with a mere shake of its head.

“…”

Wei Wusheng no longer knew how to express the shock he felt at that moment!

Was this still a Dharma Image Cultivator?

Even as someone who had condensed his Primordial Spirit, exerting all his might, he was not even half the size of the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon.

Could this person actually be an Immortal Dao existent, who deliberately masqueraded as a Dharma Image Cultivator to toy with him?

Before he could sort through his thoughts, he saw a massive dragon claw descend from the void.

Cloud Dragon Probe Claw!

This was a divine skill that Ning Wuxu had imparted to Qin Feng, also the favorite ability of the Spiritual Snake Lineage cultivators practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique, with power that grew along with strength and was versatile across all cultivation realms.

Qin Feng, commanding the Dharma Image, executed Fatian Xiangdi, causing the dragon claw to enlarge immensely, capable of crushing a mountain with one strike, let alone seizing a hundred-foot-tall copper bell!

Wei Wusheng continually cast spells in an attempt to resist the clutch of the dragon’s claw.

But the massive dragon claw tore through all spells, forcefully grasping onto the copper bell.

A grating sound that made one’s teeth ache echoed out, and the copper bell, already stripped of its protective shield by the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind, couldn’t withstand the claw’s mighty force and twisted and cracked, exposing Wei Wusheng’s pale face within!

This…

Not only was Wei Wusheng utterly horrified, but even the Spirit Turtle under Qin Feng’s feet, which had remained silent throughout, was overcome by shock!

Was this the same Human Clan Cultivator that it had previously provoked and framed?

Had it known Qin Feng’s war power was so formidable, even with several more lives, the Spirit Turtle wouldn’t have dared to provoke Qin Feng!

At this moment, the Spirit Turtle felt incredibly fortunate that it had known to submit early on.

Otherwise, leaving aside the powerful spiritual beasts under Qin Feng’s command, just his own battle strength revealed through the Dharma Image was enough to crush it.

Crack crack…

The once-lustrous Confusing God Bell cracked further and finally, with a loud bang, was completely shattered by the dragon’s claw!
