I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#421 - Pickup: Ascension Pool Control Tips

At this moment, the Longevity Ancestor was surrounded by dragon-shaped energy, empowered by a dragon vein, possessing the power to destroy all laws, and his strength was unparalleled.

Seeing the Longevity Ancestor pouncing towards him, Zhang Chen felt a burst of panic. He was no match for the Longevity Ancestor, so he subtly retreated behind the Innate Peacock, pushing the Innate Peacock forward to block him:

"Old Peacock, you've been bragging so much all this time, now it's your turn! I want to see what kind of methods you have, whether you're as powerful as you boast. Don't let me down at the critical moment."

The Innate Peacock was pushed out as a shield by Zhang Chen, and his face turned green instantly. His eyes stared fixedly at the Longevity Ancestor opposite him, and he swallowed nervously.

He couldn't withstand such a powerful Longevity Ancestor!

Just as an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt, suddenly a touch of purple appeared in the sky, and then the purple rapidly expanded, spreading thousands of miles in an instant, covering the entire Qingcheng Mountain range, turning into purple thunderclouds, suspended above the Qingcheng Mountain range.

"It's that lightning!" Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he saw the purple lightning suspended in the sky. He knew very well the power of this lightning, which he had experienced when he first came to this world.

"Purple Sky Divine Lightning! This is Heavenly Punishment!" The color drained from the Innate Peacock's face, and the hairs on his body stood on end at that moment.

"Run!" The Innate Peacock called out to Zhang Chen, carrying the Ascension Pool and turning to flee, while Zhang Chen followed closely behind, also beckoning to Xiu Liu, signaling him to take Xu Erniu and escape.

The dragon vein energy around the Longevity Ancestor suddenly subsided, like a deflated ball, and directly withered.

At this time, the Longevity Ancestor raised his head to look at the purple lightning in the void, a look of unwillingness in his eyes, and roared to the sky: "Why!!"

Zhang Chen and the Innate Peacock also encountered a great trouble at this time. With the appearance of the purple lightning, the space between heaven and earth seemed to be distorted. After running a dozen steps, the two immediately noticed something was wrong, and found that they were running in place.

"It's over! We're also locked by the Heavenly Punishment! What a damn sin! That Longevity brat ruined the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain, why is the tribulation added to me?" The Innate Peacock cursed at the sky, his voice full of helplessness. He felt that he was purely implicated innocently.

"What to do?" Zhang Chen looked at the space locked by the Heavenly Punishment, and then looked at the Innate Peacock beside him, asking him for a way to avoid it. He didn't want to be struck by the Heavenly Punishment again.

The Innate Peacock gritted his teeth upon hearing this, a fierce look in his eyes: "Hide under the Ascension Pool, perhaps we can resist the thunder punishment from heaven and earth."

As he spoke, the Innate Peacock poured mana into the Ascension Pool, enlarging the Ascension Pool, and then deftly drilled down.

"I said, why don't we jump into the Ascension Pool?" Zhang Chen asked, and as he spoke, he also followed behind and drilled under the Ascension Pool.

The Innate Peacock had a look of looking at an idiot: "Boy, are you stupid? The Ascension Pool is open, what's the use of jumping in?"

Zhang Chen thought of Xu Erniu, and quickly turned his head to look. He saw that the place where Xu Erniu and Xiu Liu were standing was not affected by the blood-colored divine thunder, so Zhang Chen relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

As he spoke, he saw more than a dozen purple lightning bolts connecting the sky and the earth, mightily striking down towards the Ascension Pool where Zhang Chen was, as if to shatter the Ascension Pool into powder.

Not only was the Ascension Pool struck by lightning, but the Longevity Ancestor on the side was also targeted by seven or eight purple lightning bolts. The seven or eight purple lightning bolts were like ropes, one end connected to the sky and the other connected to the earth, walking towards the Longevity Ancestor.

How dare the Longevity Ancestor resist the Purple Sky Divine Lightning? His eyes turned, looking at the Ascension Pool, and he also drilled towards the Ascension Pool, wanting to use the Ascension Pool to avoid the tribulation between heaven and earth.

But the Innate Peacock was not easy to deal with. Seeing the Longevity Ancestor drilling over, he directly slapped out, blasting the Longevity Ancestor out of the cauldron, not giving him a chance to get in.

"Boom~"

At this time, the Purple Sky Divine Lightning smashed down, and there was a shaking of the earth and mountains. Zhang Chen only felt that his soul was buzzing, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose. Although the Purple Sky Divine Lightning did not directly hit him, the aftermath of the Purple Sky Divine Lightning still shook him dizzy, his whole brain fainted, and his soul fluttered in a daze.

Outside, the Longevity Ancestor let out a scream, his voice shrill like a blood-weeping cuckoo, which made Zhang Chen shudder, a look of fear in his eyes.

At this time, the Blood Control Technique in Zhang Chen's body was activated, repairing the lost five senses. As his five senses gradually returned, Zhang Chen turned his head and looked out, and saw that the Longevity Ancestor's clothes were ragged. His clothes, which he used to take care of meticulously, had become messy, like a bird's nest, and his whole body was pitch black.

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking, suddenly a ball of purple light fell from the Ascension Pool and fell at Zhang Chen's feet, turning into a ball of experience points.

"Something dropped! Something finally dropped! Under the effect of the Purple Sky Divine Lightning, the Ascension Pool finally dropped something." Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he saw this, looking at the purple light ball, a look of joy in his eyes. The purple light ball was extremely rare in the past. Especially this ball of purple experience points, it didn't look like ordinary experience points, but more like a skill.

Zhang Chen was very fond of skill-type experience points. At this time, the golden finger panel in front of him flickered:

[New skill discovered, do you want to pick it up?]

"Pick it up!" Zhang Chen said without thinking, and quickly said.

As Zhang Chen's command was issued, the purple light ball on the ground disappeared, and then the golden finger panel refreshed:

[New skill: Ascension Pool's Sacrificial Refining Incantation, Activation Incantation]

[Note 1: Jumping into the Ascension Pool can transform your bones and cleanse the mortal dust, evolving from a mortal body to a higher-level body]

The literal introduction was simple and straightforward, and Zhang Chen was speechless. The main effect of this Ascension Pool was to transform people's bones and cleanse the divine liquid of the body. As a weapon, it was just a side effect.

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking, suddenly the Innate Peacock's body flashed with divine light, and he struck towards the outside, and he saw that the Longevity Ancestor was once again pouncing towards the Ascension Pool, wanting to drill under the Ascension Pool to avoid the bombardment of the Purple Sky Divine Lightning.

If he could drill under the Ascension Pool, he might be able to obtain a glimmer of life.

And the Innate Peacock certainly wouldn't allow it. His body was surrounded by divine light, constantly bombarding the Longevity Ancestor, preventing the Longevity Ancestor from arriving.

However, as the Longevity Ancestor approached, the lightning that was originally striking the Longevity Ancestor and the lightning that was striking Zhang Chen and the Innate Peacock mixed together, and in an instant, the lightning became countless times stronger. The overwhelming lightning, mightily smashed down together, and then Zhang Chen only felt his brain buzzing, and he had completely lost perception of the outside world. Everything in the world was purple, and the purple lightning burst out with sparks.

He saw that the Innate Peacock's fur was scorched, and he saw that the Longevity Ancestor outside had wounds appearing on his body, blood and flesh splattering constantly, exuding the smell of barbecue.

Zhang Chen's ears were buzzing, and he saw the Innate Peacock opening his mouth, not knowing what he was roaring.

Looking through the lightning, he saw Xu Fu and Xiu Liu in the distance. Xu Fu's Body Immobilization Talisman was untied at some point, and he stood there anxiously, waving at himself, as if he was shouting something at himself.

Seeing Xu Fu's anxious face, Zhang Chen squeezed out a smile, and waved to Xu Fu from afar, signaling Xu Fu to be calm and not afraid.

At this time, Zhang Chen's Blood Control Technique was frantically operating, constantly repairing the injuries on his body, but the lightning was too fierce. Before Zhang Chen's wave of injuries was completely repaired, the next wave of injuries had already arrived again.

"Puff~"

Zhang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, a look of horror in his eyes: "So the cultivator's tribulation is so terrifying, then who in the world can get through it? Wouldn't they end up dying? No wonder the Longevity Ancestor planned in every possible way, and did not dare to pass the tribulation for a long time, it turned out to be because of this."

"Bang~"

Another lightning bolt smashed down, and the Ascension Pool beside Zhang Chen flickered, sparks burst out, burning through the Innate Peacock's defense. The sparks fell on Zhang Chen's arm, and then Zhang Chen's entire arm directly vaporized and disappeared without a trace.

"Damn!" The power of this Purple Sky Divine Lightning shocked Zhang Chen into swearing. This power was completely beyond his ability to resist. It was just a spark that burst out, and it actually had such power. If the lightning directly smashed on his body, he would probably turn into ashes in an instant.

"This Purple Sky Divine Lightning seems to be several times more powerful than the power I encountered in the Sea of Lightning!" Zhang Chen was secretly startled, his eyes full of shock. He felt that the Purple Sky Divine Lightning in front of him was not the same as the Purple Sky Divine Lightning he encountered in the Sea of Lightning.

"Great Free Heavenly Demon, do you have a way to deal with it?" At the critical moment, Zhang Chen had no choice but to call out to the Great Free Heavenly Demon, but at this time, the Great Free Heavenly Demon had completely lost his voice, as if he did not exist at all.

"You're playing dead, aren't you!" Zhang Chen muttered: "If you don't come out again, I'll drag you out?"

Hearing this, the Great Free Heavenly Demon's unwilling voice finally sounded again: "Don't bother me! This is Heavenly Punishment, it is my number one nemesis. If the Heavenly Punishment captures my aura, the power of the Heavenly Punishment you suffer will definitely be a thousand times more terrifying. At that time, I'm afraid we'll both be doomed! The Purple Sky Divine Lightning we encountered before was just ordinary Purple Sky Divine Lightning, but the Purple Sky Divine Lightning we encountered today is the power of Heavenly Punishment, endowed with the attributes of Heavenly Punishment. The power of the two cannot be compared."

After saying that, the Great Free Heavenly Demon lost his voice and completely hid his tracks, which showed how afraid he was of the Heavenly Punishment. He completely dared not show his head, and he was no longer as powerful as he used to be.
