Chapter 287: The mysterious ancient magic circle, there must be something fishy
Just about a quarter of an hour later, all the bull-headed ghosts in the body refining realm on the battlefield were wiped out by Li Dingguo with the cooperation of the giant golden eagle.
The soul beads they left behind after their death were also captured by Li Dingguo using his divine sense and stored in the cauldron, his natal divine artifact.
This was because Li Dingguo had no idea what strange abilities these bull-headed ghosts, who had regained their intelligence from their previous lives, had, so he tried to be as careful as possible in his actions.
According to some ancient records, a very small number of special ghosts can accelerate their own cultivation level by devouring the soul beads of their own kind.
Although it seems that these minotaurs will not do this, it is always a good idea to take precautions in advance.
"Dajin, let's first hunt down those two level 5 early stage bull-headed ghosts!"
After killing all the evil spirits in the Body Refining Realm, Li Dingguo said to the Golden Eagle, "You are the main force of this killing. I will use the big cauldron to protect you and use the bell to interfere with their counterattack."
Da Jin's cultivation level is far above the remaining dozens of Qi Refining Realm Bull-Headed Ghosts.
As long as the enemy does not have a military formation to counter, they will not be a match for the Jin Dynasty.
The remaining Bull-Headed Ghosts in the Qi Refining Realm had not recovered at all because they had maintained the military killing formation for too long and had consumed too much of their own innate soul energy.
Even if they still had dozens of Qi Refining Realm warriors left, they were unable to form an army to meet the enemy again.
Although Li Dingguo had only been avoiding them before and specifically targeting those evil ghosts in the Body Refining Realm, the covering attack launched by the phantom of his natal Dharma image, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, also enveloped those Bull-headed ghosts in the Qi Refining Realm.
This means that these Bull-Headed Ghosts in the Qi Refining Realm have no time to recover the huge consumption of their own innate soul energy, and they are still in a state of exhaustion.
"Chirp..."
The golden eagle was very excited when he heard his master asking him to be the main attacker. After a neigh, he immediately fully utilized his speed advantage!
"Whoosh!"
It instantly turned into a golden light and shot towards the two level five early-stage minotaur ghosts who were furious and in despair!
"The Bull Demon Shakes the Sky!"
At this time, the two level five minotaur ghosts looked ruthless, and actually tried their best to use their awakened innate magical powers to launch a desperate counterattack!
Any strangeness, after reaching the fourth level of cultivation, has a certain possibility of awakening the innate magical power.
Compared with other races, this is also a huge advantage for them.
However, if he wants to use his innate magical power, it will consume too much of his own essence.
Even the current Da Jin has already become a level five peak spirit bird and has awakened his innate magical powers.
But after following Li Dingguo, it has never used its innate magical power.
This is certainly because its innate magical power is too powerful and has great instability, and now it is just a life-saving magical power.
But this is enough to illustrate how much energy a cultivator consumes when using his innate magical powers before reaching the realm of refining spirit.
For example, these two level five initial bull-headed ghosts, after using their innate magical powers once, will need at least one or two months to recover the depleted essence.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Then I saw that the two level five early stage bull-headed ghosts, after activating their innate magical powers, each of them had a black rune flashing out from between their eyebrows!
As soon as these two shiny black and glittering runes appeared, they exploded in an instant, transforming into two huge black air currents, carrying whistling shock waves, and swept straight towards Li Dingguo and the golden eagle who were coming in front of them like lightning!
These two shock waves were so destructive that even the air along the way and the thick ghost fog here were shattered in an instant!
It can be imagined that the attack power of these two innate magical powers far exceeds the scope of the initial stage of level five practitioners.
According to Li Dingguo's estimation, he had at least reached the peak of level five, capable of delivering a full-force attack!
"Human Emperor Cauldron, go!"
This was not the first time that Li Dingguo had faced a powerful enemy's innate magical attack, and he already had enough experience in dealing with it.
His way of dealing with it, naturally, was to use his indestructible innate magical weapon, the Human Emperor Cauldron, to block the opponent's innate magical attack.
If he didn't have this trump card, he would still have to dodge quickly when facing the enemy's innate magical power.
As for whether it can be avoided in time, there are still many unknowns.
Under normal circumstances, in a battle between opponents of the same level, if an attack is made by one's innate magical power, the opponent can be countered only by using one's innate magical power.
Of course, this refers to the case where the practitioner does not have his own magical weapon.
Otherwise, activating one's own magical weapon to block the opponent's own magical power is also a very effective method.
The prerequisite is that your natal magic weapon is powerful enough. It is not just a random low-level natal magic weapon that can block the enemy's natal magic power.
It is estimated that only magical instruments that have reached level nine or above can achieve this.
"Oh!"
"boom!"……
Under the full force of Li Dingguo's spiritual power, it transformed into the Human Emperor Cauldron with a diameter of more than ten feet, and instantly appeared in front of Li Dingguo and the golden eagle, covering themselves tightly. Then, it collided with the two innate magical attacks that swept in!
After a series of deafening explosions, the Human Emperor Cauldron was seen shaking a few times, and then it completely blocked the opponent's innate magical attack, without affecting Li Dingguo and the golden eagle behind at all.
"How is this possible! How can you activate the Human Emperor Cauldron, a top-level innate artifact, at the Qi Refining Stage?"
"This... could it be that the rumored Human Emperor Cauldron, this top-level innate artifact, is so different from other innate artifacts?"
The two level five bull-headed ghosts saw that their innate magical attacks were easily blocked by the dark yellow cauldron and were in vain. They immediately cried out in surprise.
"Humph!"
"How can a beastman like you know the power of the Human Emperor Cauldron?"
"You two should just be a pair of fools!"
"Big Jin, get started!" Li Dingguo didn't have the leisure to answer the question of the mortal ghost. He snorted coldly and gave the order to kill to the big golden eagle.
"Whoosh!"
The Great Jin, which had been accumulating strength for a long time, flashed like lightning and instantly arrived above the heads of the two level five bull-headed ghosts standing side by side at the same time Li Dingguo took back his life-saving artifact, the cauldron.
“Bang!”…
Its pair of sturdy claws, carrying an unparalleled three-foot-long aura, slammed heavily on the two bull-headed ghosts, which were almost exhausted after using their innate magical powers. It immediately blew up their big heads and turned them into two balls of pitch-black ghost mist, rolling in place.
"Dong dong..."
At this time, the shadow of Li Dingguo's natal Dharma form, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, rang out in time with a loud bell sound, and a series of shock waves specifically aimed at killing the soul swept towards the two groups of thick ghost fog!
"what……"
"No!"
Two miserable and extremely painful screams came from the two thick ghost fogs and then died down in an instant.
The two level five early stage bull-headed ghosts who still wanted to reassemble their ghost bodies have completely lost their souls, and there is no trace of their existence in the world anymore.
“Plop!”…
At the place where the ghost fog quickly disappeared, only two soul beads as big as sea bowls fell to the ground.
"receive!"
Li Dingguo's eyes lit up with joy when he saw this. With a wave of his mind, he absorbed the two huge soul beads and directly stored them in the cauldron, his natal divine artifact.
Soul beads of this level are real treasures, belonging to the top five natural treasures. They are difficult to obtain and have a wide range of uses.
"Chirp..."
With one successful strike, the big golden eagle killed two level five early-stage weirdos that were at the end of their strength. It roared loudly in excitement, its body continuing to flash non-stop, flying around the battlefield!
“The Bull Demon Shakes the Sky!”…
The remaining fourth-level minotaur ghosts had fallen into despair. They looked at each other and used their innate magical powers to attack the attacking golden eagle one after another.
They wanted to rely on these innate magical powers that were like concentrated fire attacks to make a final desperate struggle in the hope of turning the tables.
However, it was of no use. All these attacks using his innate magical powers were, without exception, activated by Li Dingguo and transformed into a large innate magical weapon, a cauldron over ten feet in size, which was easily blocked!
These level 4 bull-headed ghosts were already weak, and after using their innate magical powers, they barely had the strength to stand. How could they withstand the golden eagle's violent and lightning-like attack?
“Bang!”…
“Plop!”…
The big golden eagle easily clawed at their big heads one by one, and quickly killed them all!
The whole process didn't even take half an incense stick of time!
“Swoosh!”…
Li Dingguo sat on the back of the golden eagle and watched it display its mighty power.
He used his divine consciousness with ease to absorb the bowl-sized soul beads that the fourth-level bull-headed ghosts had transformed into after their death, and stored them in the cauldron, his natal divine artifact.
As all the bull-headed ghosts in the Qi Refining Realm died, the thick yin energy in this ghost domain that was filled with yin became a little thinner, but it still did not dissipate.
Li Dingguo knew that this was because this ghost domain was shrouded by a third-level top-grade ancient yin-attribute magic circle.
He used his spiritual power to its full potential and soon found the center of the ancient magic circle.
"Dajin, go to the big shiny black rock where the Bull-Headed Ghost King used to be!"
Li Dingguo then said to the big golden eagle, "That big stone made of mysterious material is not only the core of this ancient magic formation, but it should be a top-notch treasure of heaven and earth, and its level must be more than the third-grade top-grade."
It is impossible for the huge black stone at the center of the magic circle, which has allowed it to operate here for countless tens of thousands of years, to be anything but strange.
You know, even the ancient protective formation that we saw on Diaoyu Island not long ago couldn't last that long.
As you can imagine, that big round black stone is unusual.
"Whoosh!"
Upon hearing this, the golden eagle flapped its wings, and the next moment it arrived in front of the shiny black round stone.
Li Dingguo immediately jumped off Dajin's back, stood in front of the big stone that was used as the eye of the formation by the ancient magicians, and examined it carefully.
Although he had already thoroughly analyzed and understood this third-grade top-grade magic circle left over from ancient times, he would not rashly break the magic circle directly.
God knows if the magician has left any tricks up his sleeve?
This is very possible.
After all, this strange den of ghosts has existed for countless tens of thousands of years. It is impossible to say that no ancient masters of the spirit realm have come to investigate during this long period of time.
But even those great masters could not break this Western magic circle. Without thinking too much, you can tell that it is not simple.
This black round stone is obviously a treasure. Even a master in the Spirit Refining Realm would want it upon seeing it.
As a result, until now, this strange big stone, which serves as the eye of the magic array, still remains here.
This third-grade magic circle has never been broken by a strong person.
Anyone who is not stupid can guess what is unusual about this.
Li Dingguo is certainly not stupid, so he will definitely not act rashly now.
