Lifelike dragon and phoenix phantoms appeared before his eyes. The Flame Hoof Beast didn't seem to expect this either. It turned its head and looked towards Zhang Ling's direction.
Zhang Ling knew that this beast wasn't looking at him, but at the strange, swaying gold token in front of him.
He was also very surprised by the token in his hand. He had roughly examined it before and saw deep knife marks on it, and originally thought it was damaged.
He had only kept it because the token's material was rare. He didn't expect that it would resonate with the token emitted by the Flame Hoof Beast, causing this strange situation.
It seemed it might be a special treasure.
Zhang Ling's mind raced, and he quickly cast several spells onto the gold token in front of him, intending to control it. But as soon as his spiritual power touched it, it was dispersed by the runes that appeared on the token.
He quickly changed his hand seals, wanting to forcibly control the token.
However, before he could finish casting the spell, the token transformed into a golden light and flew directly towards the Flame Hoof Beast.
Zhang Ling's expression darkened, and he quickly flung out several black vines imbued with True Devil Qi, which wrapped around the token in a flash, trapping it in the air.
But before he could pull the token back, a loud laugh came from the side. "Haha, this treasure belongs to this king!"
The tenth-order demon cultivator actually rushed over, waving his hands and scattering a large patch of black light like wind blades. In an instant, the vines entangling the token were cut to pieces.
At the same time, a black light flashed in the demon's mouth, and a thick black beam shot straight towards Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling's face was unsightly, and he quickly waved his hand. A black light flashed in front of him, and a figure appeared. It was the Nascent Soul puppet he carried with him.
The puppet raised its hand and summoned the wooden shield made of ten-thousand-year-old profound wood.
The black light wave released by the Black Elephant King struck the shield, creating a huge roar. The puppet took half a step back, barely withstanding the blow.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ling naturally didn't hold back. He changed the hand seals, and the seven flying swords flashed with sword light, instantly unleashing countless sword lights in retaliation.
The Black Elephant King snorted lightly, clapping his hands together to release two balls of black light. The light balls rippled like water waves.
All the sword lights that landed within were shattered into fragments.
At the same time, Zhang Ling spat out a mouthful of essence, merging it into the mass of Heavenly Star Sand he released. The mass quickly flowed and gathered into five or six Earth Fiend Earth Spirits, releasing waves of gray-white petrifying light.
"Courting death!"
The Black Elephant King was furious, and the two balls of black light he released, originally held in his hands like corpses, were suddenly swung, transforming into two black whips. With a series of crisp sounds, countless black whip shadows swept over.
Under Zhang Ling's control, the Nascent Soul puppet's mouth flashed with green light, and a beam of spiritual light sprayed onto the wooden shield. The green light flashed, and the wooden shield instantly swelled into a giant shield two zhang tall, blocking in front of him.
The whip shadows struck it, leaving only black marks.
Zhang Ling naturally had no intention of answering the tenth-order demon cultivator.
Taking advantage of the puppet temporarily restraining the demon, he glanced at the Flame Hoof Beast.
As for the token that had flown out earlier, after this delay, it happened to fly to the side of the token released by the Flame Hoof Beast.
The two tokens strangely stuck together, and the dragon and phoenix phantoms displayed on them intertwined with each other. At the same time, streams of golden runes floated out.
Strangely, a large number of runes all wrapped around the scarlet light orb above the Flame Hoof Beast's head. The dragon and phoenix phantoms also wrapped around it.
The Flame Hoof Beast below didn't make any movements, but looked at the scarlet light orb with great excitement.
Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes. He suddenly summoned the Earth Origin Calabash, cast a spell on it, and a layer of five-colored spiritual light floated out of the calabash, covering his entire body. It looked like a layer of defensive spiritual light, with nothing unusual about it.
This was indeed a layer of defensive spiritual light, a spiritual force shield condensed from the Five Elements Spiritual Light born in the calabash.
As he refined the five Two-Essence Calabashes into the Five-Colored Treasure Calabash, the green and white Qi born in the calabash, which was the Five Elements Spiritual Light, underwent some subtle changes as it circulated through the five calabashes.
What was fundamentally revealed was only the mist of green and white colors, but when he used his own spiritual power to activate it and cast some spells, it would manifest this kind of five-colored spiritual light.
Although compared to before, using the Five Elements Spiritual Light to cast spells, whether attacking or defending, was also quite ordinary, without much change.
It was not as heavy and stable as his cultivated Earth Spiritual Power to cast spells. But there were still some subtle changes. As the Five Elements Spiritual Light wandered through his body, Zhang Ling accidentally discovered that his perception of spiritual Qi would be strengthened somewhat.
Although it was not obvious, he knew that this change was not ordinary.
According to the Five Elements Treasure Technique that Blue Sparrow had passed on to him, the Five Elements Spiritual Light nurtured in the Two-Essence Calabash could allow people to sense the power of the five elements more quickly.
It's just that this treasure technique was not recorded in too much detail, and there was no cultivation method in this regard. Therefore, he could only explore it on his own for the time being.
This Five Elements Treasure Technique mainly recorded the refining methods researched based on the Two-Essence Calabash. Not cultivation techniques.
At this time, Zhang Ling used the Five Elements Spiritual Light to cast defensive spells, not to strengthen his own defense. But to cover up his true intentions.
Just as the five-colored spiritual light covered his body, Zhang Ling had an extra ancient water bubble treasure in his hand. Immediately, another layer of faint five-colored spiritual light covered his body.
Immediately afterwards, the Void Insect also released its spatial divine power. His figure blurred slightly, then returned to normal.
But in that instant, what remained in place was already a doppelganger phantom. His real body had already hidden in the black and white space gap in the void.
With a thought, Zhang Ling controlled the Void Insect and moved towards the Flame Hoof Beast.
Planning to teleport over there to assassinate the beast and obtain the wind and fire dual-attribute demon core.
In an instant, a blurry black and white mist suddenly appeared behind the Flame Hoof Beast. A black thing floated out of it.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually a black ice ball. With a crack, the ice ball shattered, turning into countless tiny shards of ice. They shot towards the Flame Hoof Beast with swishing sounds.
These ice shards looked small, but in the next moment, they all turned into half-zhang-long ice thorns. With a sound of breaking through the air, they slammed into the golden runes surrounding the Flame Hoof Beast.
Following closely behind the ice ball, there was also a black shadow, which was the Profound Tortoise controlled by the Second Nascent Soul. Not in human form, but directly transformed into the demon beast's true form. It spat out balls of black water from its mouth, forming a thick wave of water.
This black water was all the heavy water from Blue Sparrow's calabash. With the power of ten thousand jun, it attacked with a rumbling sound.
The layer of golden runes outside the Flame Hoof Beast, which had amazing defensive power, finally became dim and flickering under this attack, showing signs of not being able to hold on.
This naturally alarmed the Flame Hoof Beast, and a trace of panic was revealed in its eyes. But it was too late to dodge.
The heavy water released by the Profound Tortoise turned into layers of water waves, blocking the beast's path.
At the same time, Zhang Ling also appeared above the Flame Hoof Beast's head. With a single wave of his hand downwards, a black light shot out.
The black light transformed into a giant claw several zhang wide and slapped out. Immediately, a loud explosion erupted, and countless claw shadows landed on the golden runes that had become dim and flickering. In an instant, these runes were finally shattered.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling was overjoyed, and the Black Bone Giant Claw unceremoniously headed straight for the Flame Hoof Beast's head.
With the Flame Hoof Beast's current situation, without the protection of these runes, it would definitely not be able to avoid this attack.
However, what Zhang Ling thought was a sure thing still had an unexpected situation in the next moment.
The scarlet light orb in the sky suddenly flashed with golden light at this moment, shaking out a dazzling golden light.
Zhang Ling's current position was not far from the light wave, and he immediately sensed the dangerous power coming from the golden light. At the same time, when he was illuminated by this golden light, the spiritual power all over his body appeared to be operating sluggishly.
He was shocked and couldn't bother to kill the Flame Hoof Beast anymore. He quickly summoned the Thunder Spirit Shuttle and used the Thunder Escape Technique to retreat into the distance.
With a flash of lightning, Zhang Ling had just retreated a dozen zhang away when a huge dragon roar and phoenix cry came from above his head. This time the sound was not as gentle as before, and it seemed to contain the power of the divine soul, making people's heads dizzy.
Caught off guard, the Thunder Escape Technique he used was interrupted.
At the same time, the Black Elephant King, who had rushed over again not far away, was also affected by this, and suddenly stopped his escape light, looking at the scarlet light orb in astonishment.
Just now, this human cultivator suddenly appeared on the Flame Hoof Beast's side. He knew that he had been tricked, and immediately forced Zhang Ling's Nascent Soul puppet to rush over.
Zhang Ling swept his divine sense and found that the scarlet light orb was floating with a scroll inside, and it was this scroll that emitted the golden light. He didn't know what kind of treasure it was.
The scroll was currently in a half-open state, and it was not clear what was painted on it.
At the same time he looked over, the scroll opened completely with a rustle. The two golden tokens also appeared in it.
At this time, the Void Insect wrapped around Zhang Ling's hand suddenly made a low cry. His brow furrowed immediately.
With a wail, the Flame Hoof Beast looked very excited, and no longer cared about the surrounding dangers. It turned into a fire light and rushed towards the scroll.
"It's that person's Dragon and Phoenix Diagram."
The Black Elephant King seemed to recognize what the scroll was, exclaimed, and rushed over immediately.
Zhang Ling also murmured, "Spatial treasure." He had never seen this thing, but when the scroll was completely opened, the Void Insect sensed that there were strong spatial fluctuations on it. He immediately realized that the scroll was a spatial treasure.
The Flame Hoof Beast was already very close, and approached the scroll in an instant. It crashed directly into it, and actually entered it.
In the next moment, the Black Elephant King rushed to that side, also wanting to enter it. But the dragon and phoenix phantoms that appeared on the scroll came again with huge dragon roars and phoenix cries, forming golden light waves that shook back the Black Elephant King.
The demon snorted coldly, and a thick layer of black light covered his body. He rushed up again.
However, the scroll shook with a rustling sound, and instantly rolled up, flying directly towards the sky. Above it was a flat ice jade stone wall.
But the scroll crashed into it, and did not break the jade wall. Instead, it rotated. The dragon and phoenix phantoms entangled on it broke away from the scroll and merged into the ice jade wall.
Immediately, a piece of scarlet runes appeared in the ice wall. These runes quickly stacked together, instantly forming a small array the size of a foot.
"Huh, micro teleportation array." Seeing the small array, the Black Elephant King's face changed greatly. It turned into a black light and rushed up again.
Zhang Ling naturally saw this scene, and his face also sank by three points. He quickly recalled the Profound Tortoise, Nascent Soul puppet, White Bone Giant Claw and other magic weapons.
This kind of micro teleportation array is rare, and its function is not to teleport cultivators, but to transport items.
He didn't expect that this place would hide this kind of teleportation array. If the Flame Hoof Beast entered the scroll and was teleported away by this micro teleportation array, then his trip would be in vain again.
After taking back the magic weapons, Zhang Ling quickly controlled the space divine power in the air. A cloud of black and white mist wrapped his body.
The Black Elephant King instantly released a piece of black demon Qi, seemingly wanting to destroy the micro teleportation array. The demon acted very quickly.
But the micro teleportation array was also activated very quickly, and before his attack could land on it, the scroll disappeared in a flash of scarlet spiritual light.
Immediately afterwards, his attack landed on it. With a series of loud noises, the ice jade stone wall above his head immediately exploded into a piece.
But the scroll had already been teleported away, and the Black Elephant King's face was extremely ugly. Suddenly, he thought of something, turned his head and glanced at the location where Zhang Ling was. Then he showed an unbelievable color.
Just now, the human cultivator was actually gone. This person did not use escape speed to leave. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Zhang Ling had already used the Void Insect's space divine power to follow the micro teleportation array at the moment it was opened.
According to common sense, the micro teleportation array could not accommodate his body at all. But relying on the Void Insect's space divine power, hiding in the space gap, there was no need to worry about being torn apart by the space pressure during the teleportation process.
For cultivators to use the teleportation array to teleport, in addition to opening the teleportation array, they also had to stick a teleportation talisman on their body to greatly reduce the space pressure.
And this teleportation talisman was also extremely difficult to refine, and only the Twelve Immortal City Elders Association of the human race could refine it. It belonged to a secret technique that was not passed on to outsiders.
Of course, the Great Shift Order left over from ancient times could also play the same protective role.
Without this layer of protection, even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to withstand the space pressure formed during the teleportation process.
But now for Zhang Ling, even without the Great Trade Order and the teleportation talisman, relying on the Void Insect's protection, he could also teleport safely.
In an instant, the scroll was teleported to a stone house. It landed on a white jade round platform.
Immediately afterwards, a spiritual insect like a snake suddenly appeared in the air, naturally the Void Insect. The back of the insect vibrated slightly. Black and white mist appeared on its body. Zhang Ling's figure also appeared on the round platform.
