On this day, Zhang Ling stood on a cliff with a blank expression, watching the large expanse of fire before him.
Within the firelight, booming sounds echoed continuously, and a massive tornado of cyan and crimson colors raged. Violent wind and fire power filled the fire mass, and wherever it passed, the nearby vegetation, soil, and rocks were completely melted away.
In an instant, the fire tornado swept across an area of twenty to thirty *li* (*里: a Chinese unit of distance, approximately 500 meters*).
If it weren't for the fact that he had sealed off this area with a set of formations on the outer perimeter, it was likely that a hundred *li* area would have been turned into a sea of fire.
At that moment, a neighing sound came from within the fire tornado, and a flame-maned horse appeared, neighing towards the sky. It was naturally the Flame Hoof Beast. After this beast came to the Eastern Region, it did not immediately leave him.
Instead, it had been following him, as for the reason. The Flame Hoof Beast had sensed that it was about to re-condense its *yao dan* (*妖丹: demon core*) during this period. It wanted Zhang Ling to protect it.
Zhang Ling did not refuse this matter and directly agreed. However, he did not expect it to come so quickly.
Just half an hour ago, he was still reviewing the collected books and jade scrolls, and the Flame Hoof Beast sent out the message that it was about to re-condense its core.
Calculating the time, it had only been a little over half a month.
As the Flame Hoof Beast neighed, Zhang Ling frowned, sensing that the surrounding *tiandi lingqi* (*天地灵气: natural energy of the world*) suddenly became violent. The originally clear sky began to crackle with bits of cyan lightning.
Daytime lightning!
Zhang Ling immediately thought of the words "heavenly tribulation". With a thought, the Black Tortoise and the Nascent Soul puppet appeared beside him. With a wave of his hand, he took out array flags and handed them over. "Go and deploy this Heavenly Astral Thunder Origin Formation."
The Black Tortoise and the Nascent Soul puppet, according to his instructions, picked up the array flags and flew to the left and right sides, and began to deploy the array flags in the distance.
Heavenly Astral Thunder Origin Formation, this is a four-eyed thunder formation. It was not a formation he refined, nor was it something he collected, but it was found in the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram left by the Dragon and Phoenix Fairy.
The Flame Hoof Beast said that this formation could slightly weaken the power of the thunder tribulation that the demon beast was undergoing. Although it could only reduce the power of the thunder tribulation by about half a percent, it was a rare help for the demon beast undergoing the tribulation.
This beast said that re-condensing the demon core might attract a thunder tribulation. At this moment, it really came true.
The Flame Hoof Beast transformed into a wind and fire tornado, which turned into a huge rotating ball of wind and fire, constantly rotating on the ground. The wind and fire *lingqi* (*灵气: spiritual energy*) between heaven and earth were also constantly manifesting around it, with clusters of fireballs and wisps of wind pressure.
The lightning in the sky was gathering more and more, already pressing into a patch of cyan-black clouds. The thunderclouds were still gathering.
"The commotion is not small."
Zhang Ling was also amazed in his heart, this commotion was catching up to the demon beast's transformation tribulation. Thinking that the Flame Hoof Beast was originally a special bloodline beast, it didn't seem surprising that it could create such a commotion.
Soon after, the Black Tortoise and the Nascent Soul puppet had set up the Heavenly Astral Thunder Origin Formation. Four silver pillars of light rose up from fifty to sixty *li* away.
Many of the lightning bolts in the high-altitude thunderclouds were attracted and fell on the silver pillars of light, and there were bursts of thunder light.
After this scene lasted for a quarter of an hour, the thunderclouds in the sky spread for seventy to eighty *li*, and the clouds had become as black as ink. Only the center of the thunderclouds was brightly lit, brewing terrifying thunder and fire spiritual power.
Suddenly, a white light lit up, and a lightning bolt a hundred *zhang* (*丈: a Chinese unit of length, approximately meters*) wide fell down.
The Flame Hoof Beast below also neighed and spewed out a thick pillar of cyan and crimson spiritual power. It was entwined with a not weak wind and fire power.
Rumble!
For a time, the power of thunder and fire intertwined, and the power of wind and thunder raged.
The next moment, the power of thunder and fire strengthened by three points and tore apart the power of wind and thunder, and slammed **** on the Flame Hoof Beast.
The Flame Hoof Beast's scarlet body became charred and cried out in pain.
Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes, and in his divine sense, some fine wounds had cracked open on the Flame Hoof Beast. For this beast's powerful body, it could only be regarded as a minor injury.
At this moment, the Flame Hoof Beast's aura had climbed to the level of an eighth-order demon beast. However, after all, it had lost its demon core, and its vitality was greatly damaged. Although there were a lot of pills to help in the past thirty years, it had recovered seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
But without the demon core, it was ultimately strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Whether it can survive this tribulation is still unknown.
At this time, a cry also came from Zhang Ling's sleeve. Two firelights rushed out of it. One of the firelights went straight to the Flame Hoof Beast, which was undergoing tribulation, and was extremely fast.
But the firelight only flew forward two *zhang* before it was entangled by a long vine and pulled back to Zhang Ling's side. With a bang, it fell to the ground.
Wrapped in the firelight was a horse, also covered in scarlet scales and with cyan hair on its back. It was exactly the same as the Flame Hoof Beast, but it was much shorter. Looking at the little horse's breath, it had also reached the level of a fourth-order demon beast.
This is the Flame Hoof Beast's cub, which was previously hidden in its belly. After he subdued this beast, the little guy had been staying in the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram. At this moment, it came out, apparently sensing the state of the Flame Hoof Beast.
"Little guy, be quiet, he is undergoing tribulation, he will be fine," Zhang Ling comforted casually.
The little Flame Hoof Beast's intelligence was not fully developed and ignored his words. It rolled over and got up from the ground and was about to rush into the thunder and fire.
Zhang Ling shook his head helplessly, flicked his finger, and a ball of yellow light shot out, drawing a yellow halo, covering the area of several *zhang* behind him, and with a flick of his hand, the little Flame Hoof Beast entangled in the vine was directly thrown into it.
The little guy wanted to run wildly and crashed into the yellow light, and was bounced back to the spot. Shaking and getting up again, he opened his mouth and spit out two fireballs and smashed them on the light curtain.
But the light curtain did not move, and the little Flame Hoof Beast attacked for a while, and seeing that it had no effect, he looked at Zhang Ling and screamed.
Meow!
A ball of yellow-red fluff was lying beside Zhang Ling's feet, constantly rubbing against him. On closer inspection, it was his two-tailed cat. This fat guy also called a few times, asking him to release the little Flame Hoof Beast.
"Hum"
Zhang Ling kicked the two-tailed cat beside his feet unhappily. "You lazy thing, your intelligence is not weak, take a good look at this thunder tribulation, if you are lazy again, you can only be kept to watch the door in the future."
Zhang Ling hit another ball of yellow light and threw the two-tailed cat into the yellow halo. This guy smashed a dirt pit on the ground. The two-tailed cat jumped out of the dirt pit nimbly and meowed in fear.
Once in the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram, the two-tailed cat was released and saw the Flame Hoof Beast, and the two-tailed cat often played with the little *ti* beast (*啼兽: crying beast*).
During this period of time, the two-tailed cat has also reached the peak of the seventh order. But the stupid cat is lazy, and most of the current realm depends on the spirit-feeding pills he refined.
Although its strength is not weaker than ordinary seventh-order demon beasts, it is much higher. But the two-tailed cat is a mutated demon beast. In Zhang Ling's opinion, this spirit beast's breath is a bit vain. It will be difficult to break through again.
Therefore, he often puts the two-tailed cat in a flame formation to hone it.
I didn't expect this guy to come out with the little Flame Hoof *ti* beast. That's good, let's see the Flame Hoof Beast pass the tribulation, it can be regarded as a chance.
Zhang Ling was thinking in his heart, suddenly sensed something, turned his head and sighed. "Hehe, someone is coming." With a flash, he took the Nascent Soul puppet and left the spot.
The Black Tortoise did not move and stayed in place to protect the Flame Emperor Beast.
