The demons have a strict class system and are more disciplined than humans.
Even if some people still have different ideas in their minds, once the strategy has been decided, they will immediately unify their steps.
Huang Yang simply waved his hand, then led the way back without hesitation.
There are many ways to retreat.
Instead of fleeing in all directions, they gathered together and retreated together in an orderly manner.
Seeing the demons retreat so quickly and efficiently, Lu Qingshan did not feel completely relieved. Instead, he frowned and watched the demons retreat.
"This leader is a smart man."
This is because these demon cultivators retreated, but not completely.
Although they retreated, they did not choose to flee in a swarm, but retreated at a steady speed.
Someone was protecting themselves with a defensive weapon, to guard against Lu Qingshan's sudden attack.
The next one is the combined Xuanqi Glimmering Array, which is a tracking array. Its purpose is to keep a close eye on Lu Qingshan and prevent him from taking advantage of the situation to get rid of them.
The demon cultivators kept a safe distance between themselves and Lu Qingshan, so they could attack or defend.
This is like a pack of wolves hunting large prey. They are no match for the prey if they attack one-on-one. If they swarm together, even if they succeed in killing the prey, the losses will be heavy.
Therefore, the hunting method of wolves is to follow the large prey they have targeted from a distance.
Continuous harassment and guerrilla warfare, using a method similar to blood-sucking, until the prey is exhausted and its fighting power is sharply reduced, and then they swarm in.
Now, these demon cultivators in the first calamity realm are preparing to use this method to "hunt" Lu Qingshan.
Moreover, knowing the secret of the Heart Demon Clan's magical powers, Lu Qingshan was certain that these demon cultivators would not simply keep him at a distance and wait for him to reveal a flaw.
They must be waiting for reinforcements.
However, seeing this situation, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.
"If I didn't scare you away, I would have to worry about whether I can get out of this situation safely. If I really scared you away, I would feel a little sorry. On the contrary, it is most suitable for me to want to retreat but not retreat."
He murmured in his heart.
Lu Qingshan never intended to let these evil cultivators go.
On the other side, Huang Yang stared at Lu Qingshan from afar with cold eyes. There was murderous intent in his eyes, causing the temperature around him to drop suddenly.
The hatred he felt for the swordsman who killed his own prince was so intense that it was difficult to describe it in words.
He was even more annoyed in his heart that he should not have obeyed His Highness' orders and stood aside to watch the show. Instead, even if he would be reprimanded by Tianmang afterwards, he should have rushed forward and directly captured this human swordsman.
If that were the case, there wouldn't be so many things happening now.
With His Highness of the eighth rank, second level of cultivation holding the line in front and them assisting from the side, this sword cultivator would never be able to find a chance to kill His Highness instantly and would only be slowly worn down by them.
A seventh-level sword cultivator might have explosive power comparable to that of an eighth-level cultivator for a short period of time, but in terms of endurance, it is absolutely a fantasy for him to compare with so many eighth-level cultivators.
This is not to look down on Lu Qingshan, but some things are the laws of nature and cannot be violated.
"Lu Qingshan..." Huang Yang kept repeating the name, "This person must be a super genius of the human race, and he is quite famous in the outside world. It's a pity that we have lived in seclusion here for many years and have never heard of him."
"However, as I expected, when he saw us doing this, he would either turn around and chase us, or immediately speed up to get rid of us..."
"But he chose neither of them. He just wandered around here slowly, as if he was waiting for something..."
"We are here to reinforce, what is he waiting for?"
Not far away, the stunning woman in palace dress who had previously attracted Tianmang's attention reappeared mysteriously, flying on her sword and taking Lu Qingshan deeper into the wilderness.
The speed was not fast, and they seemed to be completely ignored.
Lu Qingshan did not move, with his eyes closed and his mind focused on the sword light. No one knew what he was doing.
"Could it be an empty city plan?" Huang Yang stared at Lu Qingshan in the sword light, feeling something was wrong, and kept making judgments in his mind.
…
What is Lu Qingshan waiting for?
The answer is actually very simple.
In the perception of both humans and demons, once a cultivator completes a breakthrough to a major realm, he must take some time to calm himself down and become familiar with the powerful force after the promotion.
This is an essential sedimentation period.
But that is only the case for ordinary monks.
For Lu Qingshan who possesses "Deep Blue", once he completes the breakthrough to a major realm, what he will face is not a period of sedimentation , but a period of transformation in which his combat power will be greatly enhanced.
Lu Qingshan opened the panel.
Several rows of small fiery characters are sparkling and flashing, flowing like a stream of water.
"You have opened up a domain of law!"
"The specific attributes of the legal domain are as follows: ... (omitted)"
"You have mastered the [Great Summer Sutra] (Combination Chapter)!"
"Your rank has been raised to the fusion level!"
"Your energy has been improved, and the upper limit of energy value has been increased by 10w!"
"Your talent [Power Control] transforms into [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head]!"
【Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head】: Spirit, energy and essence mixed into one.
When you advance to the fusion stage, you can integrate your cultivation, Qi, blood, and soul into one, thereby improving your own cultivation foundation.
"You gain the [Fusion] rank bonus: Your spiritual awareness is increased by +1000!"
"At the same time, every time you advance a small level in the Fusion Realm, your spiritual awareness will increase by +500!"
"Your talent [Qian Yuan Body] has been upgraded and transformed into [Heavenly Body]."
[The Body of Heaven and Man]: Heaven and earth are connected, and all things are one.
Heaven and man are connected. Your body will automatically and silently absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth at all times (the same is true in battle), greatly enhancing your recovery ability. At the same time, your lifespan is extended to 20,000 years.
"Your talent [Entrapment] has been improved. Current damage bonus: 5% x 7 = 35%."
"You have obtained a new slot for your natal sword! Please note that the attributes of the natal sword added to this slot must not be repeated with the attributes of the existing natal sword! (Currently available slots: 2; Currently available attributes: earth, wind, thunder.)"
…
After the advanced fusion, in addition to possessing the domain of law, the biggest improvement is the possession of the talent of [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head], which allows one to unify one's own strength.
The combat power of a cultivator is composed of various elements, including physical strength, spiritual realm, magic weapons, spells, combat awareness, etc.
But the foundation of everything comes from cultivation and magic power.
The importance of foundation is self-evident.
However, due to the different cultivation systems, monks always have certain preferences when practicing.
For example, spiritual cultivation focuses on the realm of the soul, physical cultivation focuses more on the physical body, and magical cultivation focuses more on magical power.
This leads to differences - although everyone is at the same level, the different emphases mean that the foundation of a cultivator is often more solid than that of cultivators from other schools .
This higher base will often be magnified after being multiplied by many other bonuses.
The higher the monk's cultivation level, the more obvious the difference will be after magnification.
It seems that after reaching a high level, Dharma cultivators will be the only ones in power.
But that is not the case.
This is because after a cultivator advances to the stage of fusion, he possesses the ability of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.
A cultivator can use his own qi and blood, his own soul to bless his own magic power, thereby improving his foundation and heritage, and thus becoming on par with other cultivators of magic.
Lu Qingshan looked at his attribute column.
"Lu Qingshan (Human), Rank: Fusion (Early Stage)."
"Force value: 2200/22.9w (current force/force upper limit)."
"Spirit Realm: Late Soul Realm (4500/9300) (Current Spiritual Awareness/Spiritual Awareness Upper Limit)."
In other words, after breaking through to the fusion stage, his energy base increased from 129,000 to 229,000.
Normally, the energy foundation of a fusion cultivator should be between 100,000 and 200,000.
Lu Qingshan's cultivation had just broken through to the early stage of fusion, but he had already exceeded the limit of the ordinary fusion cultivators.
One step stronger, every step stronger.
The flawless Taoist foundation, the Ten Flowers Realm, and the Nine Dragons Yuanmai eventually combined to form the "monster" of today.
But that’s not all. Although sword cultivators do not cultivate their physical bodies and their Qi and blood power is not worth mentioning and can be completely ignored, the realm of the soul of the sword cultivator who controls the flying sword cannot be underestimated and is second only to the spiritual cultivator among the six types of cultivation.
Not to mention Lu Qingshan’s spiritual realm, which is even his strongest point.
Lu Qingshan had already tested this in his previous battle with Tian Mang.
With the help of the talent [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head], and the integration of his 229,000 energy base and the power of his soul in the late soul realm, his energy base will be increased to a terrifying 350,000.
——The energy base of the cultivators in the eighth realm only takes into account the general situation, not considering "aliens" such as Xia Daoyun and Lu Qingshan. Those below the third calamity realm are generally in the range of 200,000 to 800,000.
Lu Qingshan's energy foundation of 350,000 is already comparable to that of a cultivator in the First Tribulation Realm.
His soul realm can even be compared with that of a cultivator in the Three Tribulations Realm.
From this perspective alone, although Lu Qingshan is only in the initial stage of fusion, he can definitely be regarded as a cultivator in the first calamity realm.
Although Tianmang's cultivation level of the eighth grade, second casting was still able to suppress Lu Qingshan, it was obvious that this advantage could not reach the level of the eighth grade crushing the seventh level. It was not surprising that he died under Lu Qingshan's sword.
Lu Qingshan, who had reached the perfect state of fusion in his previous life, was already very familiar with these attributes.
Therefore, he just took a quick glance and immediately turned his attention to the place that he was most concerned about.
Experience column.
"Current experience value: 2.649 billion."
Because his cultivation had reached its peak, his experience points had been accumulating with nowhere to use them.
In addition, after coming to the Central Spiritual Realm, he has been killing people non-stop, and his current experience value has already reached a terrifying number.
Just like money, no matter how much you put in the bank it is just a number, only the money you spend is called money.
Only experience that is put into use can be called experience.
He now wants to use this huge amount of experience points to bring himself a terrifying increase in combat power.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were somewhat fiery.
He still remembered the various magical powers he mastered when he reached the perfect state of fusion in his previous life.
——Because of the existence of the Dharma Realm in the Fusion Realm, each breakthrough in a small level is no longer like before, which is just a simple increase in cultivation and improvement of the soul, but will undergo a qualitative transformation and possess new magical powers of the Dharma Realm.
Although in Lu Qingshan's eyes, it makes no difference whether the enemy is in the early or middle stage of fusion.
But in fact, apart from his special case, for most cultivators, the fusion stage is a very important level.
"Today, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to achieve perfection again." Lu Qingshan whispered.
The next moment, his experience points began to flow.
"The level of [Daxia Sutra] (Fusion Chapter) has been upgraded, and the upper limit of the Yuanli value has been increased by 10w!"
"Your rank has been raised to the middle stage of fusion, and your spiritual awareness has increased by 500!"
"Your cultivation level has increased, and the Sword Domain has gained a new magical power: [Power of Heaven and Earth]."
[Power of Heaven and Earth]: The domain will be able to automatically draw power from heaven and earth, and the domain master can use the power of heaven and earth to recover from his injuries.
As long as the law domain is not broken and the power of heaven and earth is not exhausted, the domain master will be immortal.
Sword Domain Current Heaven and Earth Power: 0
The current daily power that the Sword Domain can absorb: 3 (1 power can be absorbed for every 10w of the maximum value of the power. The current maximum value of the Domain Master is 32.9w, which is considered 30w.)
…
In the initial stage of fusion, the cultivator is just beginning to open the realm of law.
But when it comes to the middle stage of fusion, the cultivator's domain of law can accumulate the power of heaven and earth.
The power of heaven and earth can help the domain master recover from his injuries.
This is an "invincible " magical skill that seems like cheating to low-level cultivators .
It can be imagined that a cultivator in the early stage of fusion fought with a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion. The cultivator in the early stage of fusion fought for his life and finally seriously injured the cultivator in the middle stage of fusion, but as soon as the cultivator activated the power of heaven and earth, the injury was healed instantly.
How desperate is this?
How to fight this battle?
The rank of the early stage of fusion and the middle stage of fusion is not much different, but the strength has undergone a qualitative change. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference in combat power.
However, this magical power is not really invincible.
It has two major flaws.
It is precisely because of these two defects that the cultivators in the middle stage of fusion are not impossible to kill.
1. The power of heaven and earth can only be automatically drawn from heaven and earth by the Dharma Realm, and cultivators cannot actively draw it.
This means that the power of heaven and earth can only be accumulated slowly over time.
However, the speed of accumulation is quite slow. Generally, the power of heaven and earth that has been accumulated for decades or even hundreds of years will be almost consumed in a more brutal battle.
Therefore, if you want to kill a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion, you can completely use continuous round-robin battles to drain his power of heaven and earth, and then you can further kill him.
It is also for this reason that, in the middle stage of the fusion realm, the cultivators who do not take action are the most terrifying. At the same time, the older they are, the more popular they are - no one knows how much power of heaven and earth these old fusion cultivators have accumulated during those long days of not taking action.
As for the second flaw, it is even simpler.
The power of heaven and earth can heal the injuries of the domain master, but it does not have the power to bring the dead back to life.
Once dead, there is no resurrection.
If the Domain Lord was killed instantly by a wave of attacks, then even if he had accumulated a lot of power of heaven and earth, he would have nowhere to use it.
The reason why Lu Qingshan could defeat the combined cultivators as easily as cutting melons and vegetables was because of his powerful explosive power, which perfectly grasped the flaw of [Power of Heaven and Earth].
Whenever he draws his sword, it is certain to kill, and he never gives the combined monks a chance to use the power of heaven and earth to recover from their injuries!
