Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 92 - 87 Immortal Cave Mansion!
White Rock Mountain.
The battle continues.
The Tiger Demon Puppet besieges the Black Vein King, while a portion of Foundation Establishment Puppets tackles both the White-tailed and Pang Mountain Spirit Void Demons. All minor demons on White Rock Mountain have been slaughtered.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
The Tiger Demon Puppet moves quickly with strong attacking power. The Black Vein King, donning the Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe, flaps his wings and collides, a glint of golden light can disperse a Tiger Demon Puppet.
In just a few moments, two Tiger Demon Puppets are destroyed.
"Puppets are ultimately too cumbersome."
Lu Qingfeng watches coldly, fully aware of the puppet's shortcomings.
The tactic of overwhelming numbers has some power at the lower levels, but at Core Formation or Primordial Spirit stages, even thousands of Foundation Establishment Puppets or Spirit Void Puppets can only directly contend and simply instill fear. The masters of Core Formation True Man and Primordial Spirit True One control the initiative, coming and going as they please.
As long as they avoid direct clashes with countless puppets and wear them down slowly, ultimately the puppets can be exhausted.
The masters of the puppets, however, can only passively take a beating.
"They can only assist, not be fully relied upon."
Lu Qingfeng had understood this principle long ago; he knows the limits of puppets and now sees more clearly their drawbacks. The strength of a cultivator lies within themselves. All external methods can be powerful temporarily but cannot dominate forever.
However, under the siege of comparable Spirit Void Tiger Demon Puppets and over a thousand Foundation Establishment Puppets, the Black Vein King is also having a tough time. His Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe gets hit repeatedly by the crystal claw brilliance released from the tiger claws. The resulting magic attacks and arrow strikes increase. He can hold on once or twice, but after ten or twenty times, he gradually weakens.
After the nineteenth Tiger Demon Puppet is destroyed, and most of the Foundation Establishment Puppets are damaged—
Boom!
The Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe on the Black Vein King finally bursts open.
Swish swish swish!
The Divine Shooter Puppet senses the opportunity and fires hundreds of arrows. The Wanxiang Puppets, Ten Thousand Laws Puppets, and Five Elements Puppets cast spells, enveloping him.
"Damn!"
The Black Vein King frowns slightly.
His figure flickers, turning into a butterfly. Its wings are brownish-orange with black wing veins and edges, and two rows of fine white dots on the edges. Near the base of the front wing are some orange spots.
It's the original form of the Black Vein King—
The Black Vein Golden Butterfly!
Transforming into his demon body, he flutters his wings and appears dozens of yards away.
Relying on the supernatural power of the 'Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe', the Black Vein King's defense rivals that of a Core Formation True Man, and his overarching power still within the Spirit Void category. Now that his supernatural power is broken, he suddenly appears diminished, losing his composure.
Strike him while he's down!
"Continue!"
Lu Qingfeng commands the remaining twenty-one Tiger Demon Puppets to charge at the forefront, while the Dharma Image, Xuan Sword, and other puppets follow. The Thunderhawk and Vulture Puppets block in the air, cutting off the Black Vein King's escape route.
Encircle him!
"You all go to hell!"
The Black Vein King, in a disheveled state, suddenly gets furious.
With a roar, the Black Vein King's wings tremble, and golden light bursts forth, sweeping away arrow techniques and magic spells.
This golden light, as brilliant as the great sun, is formidable and fearsome. Once the Divine Light appears, all laws silently annihilate.
All spells are dissipated.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Even with a sizzling sound, the twelve nearest Tiger Demon Puppets shatter instantly. These are all Seventh Level Puppets, comparable to the Spirit Void Grain Avoidance Realm. However, facing this Divine Light, they couldn't resist for a moment and turn into dust!
In other words.
The Divine Light used by the Black Vein King, if it were against Spirit Void Practitioners, could slaughter dozens with a single move, truly terrifying.
Besides the Tiger Demon Puppet, all Level 6 and Level 5 Puppets nearby, if too close, couldn't escape this calamity.
Nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Puppets were sent flying back, their bodies broken, with no value left for repairs.
"Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light?!"
Lu Qingfeng was truly startled this time.
Originally, he thought that the Black Vein King was just a typical demon, but who would have expected it to first use the Divine Skill 'Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe' and to show divine beast potential.
That alone was shocking.
Awakening some ancestral bloodline and mastering a fraction of Divine Skills was common among descendants of divine beasts in this world.
However, the 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light' the Black Vein King used now, requires an extremely rich divine beast bloodline to awaken and control. Just revealing these two Divine Skills would surely prompt the Black Vein Golden Butterfly clan to send skilled clansmen to fetch him and to cultivate him as a direct lineage.
Maybe even cultivating a Mahayana True Immortal or an Earth Immortal of the Demon Clan who ranks in the Heavenly Immortals class after Ascension.
"How can such potential appear in this remote, impoverished land of Heavenly Star State?!"
Lu Qingfeng's thoughts raced, a flash of insight struck him, and he involuntarily looked towards the summit of White Rock Mountain.
"A divine beast with rich bloodline residing in a place like White Rock Mountain surely means there's a trick!" Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, he commanded the puppets to fiercely attack the Black Vein King.
Although the name of the two Divine Skills 'Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe' and 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light' were significant, it seemed the Black Vein King hadn't awakened his bloodline for long and his mastery of these Divine Skills was shallow, limiting their power. Moreover, being only at the Spirit Void Level, his internal demonic power was limited. Continuously using both Divine Skills was more than he could sustain.
Especially the 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light' used just now had tremendous power, yet was delayed in its execution suggesting it was his last resort and could not be used consecutively.

"Go!"
Seeing the White-tailed Demon and Pang Mountain Demon spill blood on White Rock Mountain, the Black Vein King, not daring to delay, flapped his wings and swiftly broke through to escape. His true form as a Black Vein Golden Butterfly, though not known for speed, once in flight, not even the Tiger Demon Puppet could catch up.
The Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe cloaked his entire body, ignoring various long-distance spells, and flew into the sky.
Thunderhawk, Vulture Puppet being only Level 5 Puppets, simply couldn't stop the Black Vein King.
He vanished in an instant.
"What a pity."
Lu Qingfeng's face showed a hint of regret.
The Black Vein King, being at the Spirit Void Fusion State, was just one step away from becoming a Jiedan Demon King. Although outnumbering him with puppets could suppress him, once the Black Vein King saw the situation turning against him and decided to flee, there was no way to stop him.
With the limitation of puppets, Lu Qingfeng could do nothing.
"Let's go up the mountain."
Lu Qingfeng didn't delay further, directing the puppets up the mountain. The Black Vein King with power rivaling a Jiedan Demon King deigning to reside at White Rock Mountain surely meant something suspicious. Lu Qingfeng ordered the Green Butterfly Puppet and Black Snake Puppet to search the summit.
Before long, they discovered a cave mansion leading straight into the belly of the mountain, followed immediately by a shroud of restrictions rendering the path invisible and unknown what lay ahead.
"It must be for this."
Lu Qingfeng hastily commanded the puppets to break through the restrictions forcefully.
Only the Nine-headed Tiger Demon Puppet being the strongest, swiping its claws tearing at the restrictions. Wanxiang, Dharma Image and other puppets followed closely behind, attacking ferociously.
"Boom!"
Deep within the cave mansion, a series of booming noises thundered, audible from tens of miles away from White Rock Mountain.
"Eh?"
"Such brittle restrictions!"
Lu Qingfeng noticed that the restrictions were easily torn apart. Although the noise was loud, the breakage wasn't difficult, quickly a passage was cleared.
In just a quarter of an hour, the restrictions were completely broken.
Whoosh!
A ray of golden light shone, piercing through the ancient firmament.
A strong aura leaked, Lu Qingfeng's pupils slightly contracted—
"An Immortal Cave Mansion!"
