Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Furthermore, with the coordination of the array, Phoenix Cry Bird, and Cyan-Horned Bull, if it were any other Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon, they would have perished long ago.

[Profound Soul Needle]

Lin Chang’an once again employed this divine technique, and in an instant, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Although divine sense techniques are powerful, they also consume a considerable amount of divine sense.

"Roar!"

The giant turtle inside its shell once again let out a painful wail; its divine soul suffered another severe blow, completely losing its sanity.

Divine soul attacks are indefensible; the once solid turtle shell defense became transparent at this moment.

In the face of death’s fear, the Tier Three Great Demon giant turtle frantically crawled out of its shell, ignoring the damage to its body as it charged towards the edge of the array.

Instinct told it that as long as it escaped the array and entered the sea, it could survive.

...

Just as Lin Chang’an poured all his effort into hunting this giant turtle, the five people on the deserted island had already flown over to the array.

"My spirit pet!"

As a spirit pet nurtured with essence blood, the faint change in life force made the leader even more furious.

"Break the array"

However, as the five joined forces to break the array, bright lights flashed on the surrounding sea, revealing a hidden array.

Tier Three · Mysterious Tracing Five Elements Array

In an instant, under the shrouded sea fog, the five of them were trapped within the array.

The couple from the Red Fire Sect were shocked:

"There’s actually another array; this person lured us here."

Such an array within an array tests the array master’s skill to the utmost; any carelessness and the two arrays could interfere with each other.

All this reversal happened in merely a minute.

From the five initially ambushing to Lin Chang’an setting up an array with demon hunting as bait to lure them in.

"Stop hiding, we’ve encountered a tough opponent today."

Though the five were infuriated, even the couple from the Red Fire Sect considered retreat since their identities were still concealed.

But currently, all five are trapped in the array; breaking it is the priority.

"My dear!"

Loving each other for hundreds of years, the couple understood each other’s intent with just a glance.

"Husband, it was my greed that made a major mistake. Let’s quickly break the array and leave while our identities are still hidden."

"Alright!"

As cultivators living for centuries, their instinct is to choose what benefits them most in a dire situation.

...

While the five were trapped in the array, each pondering their next move, the giant turtle encased in the Profound Ice Array let out a mournful cry.

Even with its strong life force, the second consecutive Profound Soul Needle made its divine soul tremble, nearing its limit.

Giant Sword Technique

Amidst the crumbling iceberg, Lin Chang’an’s cold shout marked the outburst of the Sun-piercing Divine Sword’s radiant brilliance, as immense sword aura gathered.

Then the Lifebound Treasure transformed into a giant sword over a dozen meters long, carrying terrifying momentum as it aimed directly at the turtle’s head retracting into its shell.

The Cyan-Horned Bull and the Phoenix Cry Bird matched each other’s coordination effortlessly.

With a bellow from the Cyan-Horned Bull, a beam of light shot out from its mouth, striking the defensive spiritual light in front of the turtle.

The mana shield began to petrify, gradually spreading.

At this instant, the Phoenix Cry Bird spread its wings, transformed into a golden light, and its sharp beak pierced the now-weakened mana shield.

As the shield shattered in an instant, Lin Chang’an’s Lifebound Treasure, transformed into a giant sword, drove straight in without any resistance.

Entering from the head, exiting from the tail, avoiding the shell, the body was completely penetrated.

"Roar!"

Under the giant turtle’s mournful wail, scalding blood poured down like torrential rain onto the icy surface.

In the end, its massive eyes lost their luster as its body trembled.

"The life force has vanished."

Standing in the sky, Lin Chang’an somberly gazed at the Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon he had hunted, revealing a faint smile.

This time also served to validate his strength.

As the giant sword’s light gradually faded, the head of the giant turtle, pierced through, hung limply from its shell.

"Master!"

The Phoenix Cry Bird spread its wings, using its sharp beak to deftly peck out the demon core.

One person, one bird, and one bull, clearly divided their tasks; within minutes, they had dismembered the Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon.

"Restore some mana; the hunt has just begun."

The bloodstains left on the icy surface were still steaming, as Lin Chang’an calmly set his sights on the five outside the array.

"Moo!"

The Cyan-Horned Bull let out a low sound, emitting white breath, revealing the considerable toll the hunt for the Tier Three Great Demon took.

In such a short period, success in the hunt wasn’t just because the giant turtle was trapped by the array, but more importantly, Lin Chang’an started off with his trump move, leaving no room for the opponent to catch their breath.

"The Self-Healing Body restores mana quickly, but divine sense recovery is somewhat lacking."

Lin Chang’an, slightly out of breath, took two mana-restoring elixirs from his storage bag, giving one each to the Phoenix Cry Bird and the Cyan-Horned Bull.

He consumed a Tier Three Concentrating Spirit Pill to assist in recovering his divine sense.

This was also the first time he used pills in battle to restore depletion after achieving Core Formation.

Simultaneously, he didn’t forget to use Profound Celestial Mana to aid the two beasts in mana recovery.

"Only by cultivating into the Profound Celestial Spirit Body can the recovery of divine sense synchronize with the body."

With a somber expression, Lin Chang’an reflected that although the Self-Healing Body isn’t strong for divine sense recovery, the two consecutive divine soul attacks earlier,

causing the bloodshot veins in his eyes, were visibly receding.
