Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 453 - Treasure

Standing in front of the Ice Wyrm Clan, Lu Ping held the Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd in his hands. The Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd slowly rose into the air, shimmering with colorful lights as a tremendous force brewed inside it.

Lu Ping's expression was solemn. He poured all his energy into the Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd, causing the colors on the gourd to intensify.

Right as the entire Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd was enveloped in lightning, Lu Ping fixed his gaze on the protective formation in front of him and shouted, "Shatter!"

Boom!

With a loud noise, seven colorful lightning bolts burst out. Like intertwined snakes, the lightning dashed across the air and landed on the formation. Instantly, a loud explosion occurred, sending shockwaves across the area.

The moment the rainbow lightning fell, Lu Ping realized that something was wrong. He immediately placed the broken Water Controlling Flag above his head, using it as a shield to protect him from the aftershock. The power of the Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd left Lu Ping in awe.

This was not close to being a great supernatural power, but was instead an authentic great supernatural power!

The power displayed could already be considered a great divine ability.

Even with the Golden Scaled Sword in hand, Lu Ping wouldn’t be able to unleash the same amount of power.

However, while Lu Ping was rejoicing over possessing yet another powerful ability, he found himself unable to do much before the sturdy formation.

The entire protective formation had been considerably weakened, but it was still fully intact. The formation was still in operation and was connected to the spiritual veins underground. If Lu Ping continued to attack, the protective formation would quickly recover with the support of these spiritual veins.

He did not have the luxury of time because Da Bao was still trapped within the residence. If he couldn't break through the formation before the reinforcements arrived, not only would he miss out on the treasure hidden inside, but he would also lose Da Bao.

The Seven Elemental Lightning Gourd was once again wrapped in a ball of lightning. With a loud rumble, the protective formation was once again shaken. This time, the protective formation seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Lu Ping acted quickly and without hesitation, ignoring that the continuous use of the gourd crippled the smooth flow of his energy. The White Jade Lotus rose into the air, stopping above the protective formation, with the Nascent Primordial Stars slowly revolving around it.

Lu Ping took a deep breath and channeled his energy. He quickly recovered the smoothness of his energy flow under the influence of the White Jade Lotus and Nascent Primordial Stars.

Twelve strands of ghostly blue essence burst out from the White Jade Lotus, connecting with the twelve Nascent Primordial Stars. The twelve Nascent Primordial Stars emitted a faint blue light, forming a connection. In the blink of an eye, the Origin Mystic Tool created a formation in front of the protective formation.

The White Jade Lotus and the twelve Nascent Primordial Stars plunged down, creating a muffled rumble that spread out in all directions. The protective formation dimmed and started trembling as if it was about to break at any time.

Joy flashed across Lu Ping’s eyes. Suddenly, a long howl sounded out far away, replacing Lu Ping’s joy with frustration. He lamented the quick response of the Monster cultivators.

Although Lu Ping was anxious, his mind was calm. His eyes glowed green; the previously unclear energy flow of the formation emerged under the gaze of the Tri-Pristine True Vision.

Lu Ping's face lit up, and he slowly uttered two words, "Divine Smite!"

The twelve Nascent Primordial Stars flew toward the twelve weak spots that he had discovered.

Suddenly, a loud and resounding roar erupted from a distance, "Who dares to stir up trouble in the Abyssal Monster Realm?"

A divine revelation swept toward Lu Ping as soon as the voice fell.

Lu Ping's expression changed. The newly arrived Monster cultivator was a late-Core Forging Realm. Lu Ping quickly formed a divine revelation barrier around himself, blocking the divine revelation that was trying to identify him.

Lu Ping temporarily delayed his human identity from being exposed. Otherwise, if the Monsters found out that a human cultivator had infiltrated the Abyssal Monsters Realm, the entire region would be alerted.

After the approaching divine revelation was repelled, a cold voice said, "You bastard! How dare you bear ill intentions to the Ice Wyrm Clan! Do you not know that they are under the protection of the Primordial Crocodilian Clan? Are you not afraid of their wrath?”

Two other late-Core Forging Realm Monster cultivators’ auras appeared tens of miles away, pressing toward Lu Ping's direction. Lu Ping was overwhelmed, causing him to pour more energy into the Nascent Primordial Chart. The entire White Jade Lotus platform burst forth with dazzling light.

Boom!

Like shattered porcelain, the protective formation finally shattered under the impact of the Nascent Primordial Stars, with Da Bao dragging his heavy body toward Lu Ping.

Lu Ping's expression froze after seeing Da Bao hoard so much wealth that he couldn't even walk steadily.

Without hesitation, Lu Ping quickly put Da Bao into the Spirit Beast Bag alongside Lu Qing and Lu Hai. At this moment, the three Monster cultivators in the late-Core Forging Realm had already surrounded Lu Ping from three directions.

As Lu Ping was running toward Ao Yu’s secret teleportation formation, he noticed the name carved onto the front door of the residence. Reading this and hearing the shouts of the approaching Monster cultivators, Lu Ping pieced together the truth. It turned out that this residence was not only Ao Yu’s home but also the Ice Wyrm Clan’s Land of Heritage. There was a large number of treasures inside, but they were no longer within Lu Ping’s reach.

Da Bao could detect treasures within a certain range, but his talent had many restrictions. For example, when a spirit stone and a wonder item were placed together, Da Bao would not be able to detect the wonder item if it was sealed by a charm or seal.

While Lu Ping retreated quickly, the pursuers chasing him were even quicker. Before Lu Ping could escape, one of the pursuers shouted, "Where do you think you're going? Taste my hammer!”

Lu Ping felt an immense water pressure as the attack dashed toward him. He tightly bound himself with his divine revelation, not daring to turn around to face the enemy out of fear that his identity would be exposed. Lu Ping and the snake trio had eliminated the majority of the Monster cultivators guarding the Ice Wyrm Residence. Furthermore, the Monster cultivators that escaped did not possess the necessary information and access to report this incident to the higher-ups. After all, the hierarchy of the Monsters was far stricter than Humans. Therefore, Lu Ping’s identity had not been exposed yet. The three Monster cultivators chasing him probably mistook him for a Monster cultivator that coveted the Ice Wyrm Clan’s inheritance.

Without turning around, Lu Ping swung the water whip behind him, forming a vortex of water that dissolved the heavy water pressure. However, immediately after, a hammer larger than Lu Ping's head swung toward him from behind.

After a quick scan with his divine revelation, Lu Ping's expression changed. The water Manipulation Banner appeared in his hands for the third time, unleashing a black barrier in front of him. Lu Ping cast another spell that reinforced the black barrier, causing it to expand quickly and fly toward the incoming attack.

Crash!

Lu Ping's defensive spell was dented, with cracks appearing all over the barrier. The impact caused Lu Ping to suffocate; he immediately dispelled his barrier before exploiting the force of the attack to propel him further away.

The collision heavily impacted Lu Ping’s divine revelation, almost preventing him from keeping his identity concealed. He was only a hair away from exposing his identity to the pursuers behind him.

Fortunately, The Water-Control Flag was crafted by Jiao Yuqiang, the number one disciple of the "North Sea Dharma Appearance Master." Although it was already damaged, the top-tier spiritual treasure that had condensed six forbidden treasures, tightly blocked the hammer outside the black light curtain.

Lu Ping was struck again, causing him to almost fall to the ground. Fortunately, his current physical body was strong, so he barely managed to use his escape technique under the force of the meteor hammer, temporarily escaping from the Monster cultivator behind him.

"Hmph, where else can you escape to? Surrender what you’ve stolen, and you will be spared," the Monster cultivator sneered.

Lu Ping left the valley, turned over several sea-bottom mountain crevices, and quickly activated the teleportal covered underneath mud and seaweed. He sprinkled a spirit stone on the teleportal, and with a stomp of his foot, the spiritual light of the teleportal began to flicker.

When the teleportation process was about to complete, Lu Ping abruptly walked out and put on the stone armor. He hid in one of the many crevices around with the help of the Water Repelling Pearl floating above his head.

When the three late-Core Forging Monster cultivators arrived at the formation, they were met with a light that was slowly fading.

The three Monster cultivators' faces changed drastically. One of them stepped forward to examine the teleportation formation, and said in a cold voice, "This is bad. This formation is linked to the outside world! The thief who used it just now is likely a Human cultivator!"

The one who spoke was the Monster cultivator that had attacked Lu Ping with a hammer. The other Monster cultivator added, “No wonder he kept on shrouding himself with his divine revelation. He wanted to conceal his identity as a human!”

The third Monster cultivator asked, "What should we do now?"

The first Monster cultivator gritted his teeth and said, "Chase after him. We can not let this person escape!" The teleportal flickered with spiritual light again as the three Core Forging Realm Monster cultivators disappeared from the Abyssal Monster Realm.
