Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

"Hmm?"

Lin Tianming was momentarily stunned, and then he prepared to face the enemy.

No sooner had he made his preparations than the distant yellow sand suddenly surged as if something was wriggling within it, and it rapidly approached him.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming's face drastically changed, and he quickly leapt up, hovering in mid-air.

Immediately after, he swung his sword single-handedly, releasing several Sword Qi that slashed towards the unknown creature beneath the ground.

The speed of the Sword Qi was very fast; it descended to the ground in the blink of an eye.

However, the creature beneath the ground was even faster; as the Sword Qi slashed down, it had already scurried more than ten zhang away, easily dodging the Sword Qi attack.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming felt as if facing a formidable enemy and prepared to leave this place, no longer wanting to entangle with this unknown thing.

But right as he turned around, the creature wriggling underground leaped up, revealing its true form.

"Earth Dragon Qiu!" Lin Tianming exclaimed.

In front of him now, several dozen Earth Dragon Qiu appeared, among them three were in the Second Order Late Phase, and there were also as many as six in the Early and Medium Stage, with the rest being First Order Earth Dragon Qiu.

Seeing this pack of Demonic Beasts was clearly an Earth Dragon Qiu Tribe, and their numbers and overall strength were not weak.

Looking around, those Second Order Earth Dragon Qiu were several zhang long, as thick as water buckets, with dark brown bodies that looked somewhat terrifying.

They burst out of the yellow sand underground, leapt up with their massive bodies, and opened their hair-raising mouths, seeking to swallow him whole.

In desperation, he waved his Tiangang Sword frantically in his hand, releasing a great amount of Sword Qi in front of him, trying to block the Earth Dragon Qiu's attack.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Sounds of explosions rang out as several Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qiu collided with the Sword Qi, creating sparks all around.

But the Earth Dragon Qiu's defensive power was abnormally strong; a sword strike released casually didn't injure them in the slightest.

Even so, he achieved his goal, as the several Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qiu were repelled by the forceful impact.

Meanwhile, other First Order Earth Dragon Qiu that were closer were simply not strong enough, and were directly killed by the powerful shockwaves.

Lin Tianming took advantage of this brief respite to pull away to a safe distance, stopping a hundred zhang away.

Now, with his stance stabilized, Lin Tianming had a grave look on his face, seeming both wary and pleasantly surprised, his emotions somewhat complex.

The reason for his wariness was the formidable strength of the Earth Dragon Qiu, especially the Second Order Late Phase ones, which had extremely formidable defensive power.

Even with his strength, killing one of them wouldn't be easy.

Besides, with so many of this group of Earth Dragon Qiu surrounding him, it would certainly not be easy to retreat unscathed.

As for his pleasant surprise, it was because the Earth Dragon Qiu were earth attribute Demonic Beasts and a gregarious type, which according to their innate habits, meant that their lair would surely have a superior Artifact Refining Material.

That material was the Earth Rampart Crystal.

The Earth Rampart Crystal was an excrement of the Earth Dragon Qiu, scarce in quantity, and after accumulation and long-term storage, it would eventually turn into a crystal.

If the Earth Rampart Crystal was formed over a sufficiently long time, it could reach as high as a Third Order quality, making it an extremely rare Artifact Refining Material.

Moreover, the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm opened once every two hundred years, and this Earth Dragon Qiu Tribe was not small in number; their lair might really give birth to some Third Order Earth Rampart Crystals.

If he could add this material to his Green Scale Shield, its defensive power would definitely see a significant increase.

Furthermore, the Earth Rampart Crystal could also be used in impact Magic Artifacts, and even Magical Treasures used by Golden Core Cultivators could be fortified with Earth Rampart Crystal to enhance the strength of the Magical Treasure.

One could say the Earth Rampart Crystal was enormously useful and very rare, and no Foundation Establishment Cultivator could easily walk away from it.

However, to obtain Earth Rampart Crystal, one must find the Earth Dragon Qiu's lair; otherwise, it would all be in vain.

As a consequence, it was necessary to defeat or even eradicate this group of Earth Dragon Qiu.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming pondered for a while and then decided to give it a try. If the overall strength of the Earth Dragon Qiu was too formidable, he would simply abandon the target and flee.

After all, there was a whole year for this Secret Realm excursion, and there was no need to take too great a risk.

If everything went smoothly, that would be for the best. If not, he would have to give up on this opportunity.

Resolved, he decided to strike first and strong, attempting to test the depth of this group of Earth Dragon Qiu.

Lin Tianming slapped his storage bag, and seventy-two Earth Evil Swords shot out, quickly spreading in all directions.

His fingers flicked rapidly, Law Decrees bombarding the Earth Evil Swords one after another.

Soon, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation was in operation, enveloping several Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qius within.

Having done all this, he still didn't feel secure, and immediately stimulated the Thousand Beast Banner as well.

For a while, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation and the black mist from the Thousand Beast Banner shrouded all the Earth Dragon Qius.

His actions were quick, everything had been completed in the blink of an eye.

These Earth Dragon Qius' advantage lay in their strong defensive power, while their speed and attack power were quite ordinary.

Therefore, before they could react, they were already trapped by the Sword Array.

Angered by this, the Earth Dragon Qius immediately launched an attack.

Instantly, Earth Dragon Qius spat out some black stone pellets, smashing down on the Sword Array Barricade around them.

At the same time, they twisted their bodies, slamming into the Sword Array Barricade.

"Bang bang bang..."

Within the Sword Array, a series of explosions could be heard.

The just-activated Earth Fiend Sword Formation was not very stable, and it started to wobble under the strong impact.

Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't sit by and do nothing.

He roared, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, then bombarded it with several more Law Decrees.

The previously shaky Earth Fiend Sword Formation slowly stabilized.

At the same time, his Tiangang Sword radiated a brilliant light, directly unleashing the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword at a Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qiu inside the Sword Array.

He struck decisively, using a deadly move immediately, aiming to first slay a powerful Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qiu to alleviate the pressure on the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

As expected, his strategy worked, and one of the Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qius, upon seeing the terrifying Tiangang Sword, desperately tried to flee.

However, the attack speed of the Tiangang Sword was far faster than its attempt to escape.

Besides, the Earth Dragon Qius' speed on the surface was very limited, incomparable to that underground.

The inescapable Earth Dragon Qiu had no choice but to endure the strike.

Unfortunately, it had greatly underestimated the power of the Tiangang Sword Qi Seventh Sword, especially the force of the seven swords combined.

Quickly, the Tiangang Sword struck the body of the Earth Dragon Qiu, piercing through it in an instant.

Yet even so, the Earth Dragon Qiu was not killed but relied on its strong vitality and defensive power to remain alive in the arena.

However, Lin Tianming's full-powered strike had severely injured the Second Order Late Phase Earth Dragon Qiu, nearly robbing it of its ability to fight.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming was overjoyed, very satisfied with the strike he had unleashed.

Yet, he did not indulge in self-congratulation, seizing the brief moment when the other Earth Dragon Qius were stunned to significantly reduce the extent of the Earth Fiend Sword Formation.

At the same time, he continued to unleash attacks, crazily raining them down on the surviving Earth Dragon Qius.

"Boom rumble..."

Colorful blooms burst in the sky, numerous Attack Talismans transforming into various forms of Sword Qi, bombarding the Earth Dragon Qius.

In that instant, the other Second Order Earth Dragon Qius, seeing their comrade so easily gravely wounded, were immediately enraged.

In addition, Lin Tianming's attitude was extremely decisive, clearly intending to obliterate them all on the spot.

Faced with the myriad Sword Qi attacks, they were not fooled, aware that Lin Tianming's strength was formidable; they had to break through the Sword Array's suppression quickly.

Otherwise, they would die at Lin Tianming's hands.

Realizing this, the Earth Dragon Qius twisted their bodies to dodge these attacks, not forgetting to strike at the Earth Fiend Sword Formation in the process.

Their movements were swift, with each strike exerting their full strength, a fight to the death.
