Water Spirit Divine Lightning is a very powerful Yin-type lightning magic. If it strikes a cultivator, it can at least corrode a large hole, or even kill them directly.
The crimson monster was instantly struck by dozens of arcs of lightning, but seemed to only suffer minor injuries. The blood energy on its body actually resisted the erosion of the Water Spirit Divine Lightning for a time.
Zhang Ling, however, remained expressionless, fully channeling the stone mirror in his hand, and released two more thick arcs of lightning.
Arc after arc of lightning rapidly bounced between the eight light mirrors, and in an instant, the monster was trapped in a multitude of electric arcs.
This was the terrifying aspect of this treasure. The released eight-sided light mirrors could bounce the divine lightning back and forth. The enemy inside was like being trapped in a formation.
Although it seemed that the crimson monster could still resist, the longer it dragged on, the faster the divine lightning bounced, and the stronger its power became.
As long as he kept this monster trapped inside, Zhang Ling believed that he could refine this monster with the divine lightning.
Suddenly, the monster howled, and the numerous eyeballs on its head rapidly moved around, then transformed into a one-inch-long vertical pupil on its face. With a flash of blood light, it shot out a thick pillar of crimson light.
With a loud boom, the blood light directly impacted. It was instantly shattered by one of the light mirrors.
The numerous lightning arcs surrounding it suddenly dimmed a bit, and a gap about ten feet in size appeared in that direction.
The monster swayed and transformed into a cloud of blood mist, rushing towards that direction. It was clearly trying to escape.
With one light mirror broken, the black stone mirror in Zhang Ling's hand also trembled a few times. He snorted coldly, and the two flying swords released large swaths of sword light. As the streaks of azure sword light rapidly condensed, they used the Giant Sword Technique to transform into several giant light swords.
At the same time, a large mass of Stellar Sand formed a wall of sand, blocking the monster's path. The Twin-Tailed Cat and the Corpse Bear also released their respective attacks.
For a time, only the monster's constant roars and bursts of thunder could be heard. The monster was forced back.
Just like that, half a cup of tea's time passed. The electric arcs in the eight-sided light mirrors were as thin as hair, constantly bouncing, transforming into a dense array of five to six hundred divine lightning bolts.
Countless electric arcs rapidly shuttled back and forth, looking like a giant ball of lightning floating in mid-air.
During this time, every few breaths, the vertical pupil on the monster's head would release extremely powerful blood light.
Fortunately, with preparations, the remaining seven light mirrors were not destroyed. As time passed, he once again channeled the stone mirror and released another black light mirror, replenishing the destroyed one.
At this time, Zhang Ling had already activated all the divine lightning stored in the stone mirror.
The monster trapped inside had long stopped making sounds, but Zhang Ling did not relax in the slightest. He constantly used his spiritual sense to pay attention to the movements inside, where a blood-colored sarcoma about ten feet in size was constantly throbbing.
This was what the crimson monster had transformed into. Although the aura on it was constantly being worn away by the electric arcs, it had not completely dissipated.
Another half cup of tea's time passed, until Zhang Ling could no longer sense any aura from the monster, he flicked his finger and put away the stone mirror.
Zhang Ling's face was pale. Just channeling this ancient treasure had consumed thirty to forty percent of his spiritual power. Now, he only had a little more than half a percent of his spiritual power left.
Fortunately, the crimson monster was finally refined.
He didn't expect this crimson monster to be so difficult to deal with, able to withstand the attacks of the Water Spirit Divine Lightning for so long.
Zhang Ling was also secretly rejoicing. If he didn't have the stone mirror, he was afraid it would be difficult to kill this monster by other means. This battle was entirely dependent on the divine lightning in the stone mirror to grind this strange monster to death.
Then, he took out two pills and swallowed them. At the same time, he looked at the location where the monster had transformed into a blood cocoon. There, a pile of ashes remained.
With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew the residue away. Zhang Ling summoned with one hand, and a piece of black iron appeared in front of him from the ashes.
This was a very irregular piece of iron, only the size of a palm. It looked like a broken part of some kind of magical artifact. But it was the only thing the monster left behind.
Staring at the iron piece, Zhang Ling didn't expect that this thing could withstand the long-term refining of Water Spirit Divine Lightning without the slightest damage.
He probed it with his divine sense and found that the iron piece was engraved with dense silver characters.
Could this be a special jade slip?
Zhang Ling frowned. He looked at it for a while but couldn't recognize a single character. Since he began cultivating, he had read many books and learned several kinds of ancient writing. But he couldn't recognize the silver characters on it.
He smiled wryly and shook his head. He took out a wooden box from his storage bag and put the iron piece inside. This thing was so strange and was worn by the crimson monster, so it must have some use. It wouldn't be too late to study it when he had time after returning.
Afterwards, Zhang Ling also threw a few fire-attribute pills to the Twin-Tailed Cat. This guy had worked quite hard just now, so he naturally couldn't mistreat it.
But the Corpse Bear's condition was not very good. It had many claw marks on its body, and it had lost an arm, so it could be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality.
Zhang Ling sighed and directly put the Corpse Bear into his spirit beast bag. After returning, this clone would probably have to recuperate for a long time.
The howling wind constantly filled his ears. The Yin Yang Wind was still blowing outside, but the wind force was more than half smaller than before. It seemed that the Yin Yang Wind would stop soon.
Zhang Ling thought for a while, took out a set of formations, and arranged them around. He directly entered the formation and sat cross-legged to begin recovering his consumption.
Now, he was not in a hurry to leave this place. Now that he only had about half a percent of his spiritual power left, it was important to recover his spiritual power.
Of course, he could also take the Millennium Spiritual Milk to instantly recover most of his spiritual power. But naturally, such a life-saving thing could not be wasted so easily.
Of course, the main reason why he dared to stay in this place now was because he estimated that all the cultivators who had entered this place had already fallen. He was probably the only one still alive. Naturally, he didn't need to have too many scruples.
Just like that, Zhang Ling sat in the formation to recover his spiritual power. Two hours later, he opened his eyes. With the help of the pills, his spiritual power had recovered to about 80%.
Then, he planned to leave this place.
But before leaving, he looked at the pool he had just come out of. After thinking about it, Zhang Ling took the Twin-Tailed Cat down again.
There weren't many changes below. He went straight to the space inside.
Although the jade stone wall had already collapsed, it took him a little time to open a passage to enter. The pool where the Bloodworm Gu Formation was set up had not collapsed.
After the Gu Formation disappeared, the pool returned to its pitch-black state. Only, everywhere in the water, he could see some broken corpses of demon beasts, as well as some broken Icefire Jade.
Zhang Ling searched inside for a while and actually found four or five storage bags.
