Within his dantian, mana surged, finally halting his backward flight in midair.

Only a breath after being injured, the vitality within his body surged rapidly, and the damaged skin began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

New skin gradually grew, replacing the charred parts.

However, Xu Ping at this moment had no time to care about his own recovery.

His gaze was like a torch, fixed intently on the third-rank middle-grade demon beast not far away.

He now truly understood the vast gap, like a chasm, between a third-rank middle-grade demon beast and a third-rank lower-grade demon beast.

A third-rank lower-grade demon beast, even without a talisman array, he should be able to contend with it.

But this third-rank middle-grade demon beast in front of him, with just a casual strike, nearly claimed his life—its terrifying strength far exceeded his imagination.

With such prowess, even a talisman array constructed with Golden Armor-Breaking Talismans might not be enough to severely injure it, let alone kill it outright.

And the distant third-rank middle-grade demon beast, seeing Xu Ping forcibly block its attack.

A hint of surprise, extremely rare and human-like, appeared in those demonic eyes.

However, this surprise was fleeting, quickly replaced by deep contempt.

Just a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator, blocking its first strike—could he block the second?

It advanced slowly towards Xu Ping with heavy steps, each falling step seeming to make the entire lava world tremble.

Facing such an almost hopeless situation, Xu Ping's heart instead gradually calmed.

There was no other retreat now; only by fighting desperately could there be a sliver of hope.

"Come on, let's see who dies first!"

A flash of resolute ferocity crossed Xu Ping's eyes.

"Appear!"

Xu Ping's hands formed a magic technique, and he uttered a low shout.

In an instant, six Golden Armor-Breaking Talismans appeared out of thin air, floating serenely in the scalding air.

'Control!'

Xu Ping's hands moved quickly, forming one magic technique after another with precision.

At this moment, his spiritual power continuously gathered onto the talismans floating in the void.

The six talismans instantly burst into intense spiritual light, dazzling in brilliance.

"Condense!"

Xu Ping's expression became extremely solemn, and his magic technique suddenly changed.

Buzz!

The six talismans quivered violently, interweaving and shuttling through the void with agility.

At this moment, Xu Ping's divine sense was pushed to its limit, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

But he strove to control the formation of two Three-Talent Talisman Arrays.

Executing one Three-Talent Talisman Array, given Xu Ping's current capabilities, was not easy, but not insurmountably difficult either.

However, controlling two simultaneously increased the difficulty exponentially.

This not only required robust mana support but also demanded extremely fine control of his divine sense.

Any slight error might not only cause the talisman array to fail to form but could also result in a backlash from the talismans, leaving him severely injured.

If not for the breakthrough to Minor Achievement in the Spirit Platform Cyan Clarity Skill, which significantly boosted his divine sense, he wouldn't dare try so readily.

"Trap!"

Accompanied by a low cry, Xu Ping's magic technique continued to change.

However, at this moment, his divine sense suddenly experienced a stabbing pain, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand.

It turned out that controlling too many talismans at once had overloaded his divine sense, showing signs of disorder.

"Trap!"

Xu Ping gritted his teeth, his face twisted in pain, beads of sweat sliding down his face only to be instantly evaporated by the heat.

He forcibly consolidated his somewhat scattered divine sense, despite the excruciating pain in his mind like a thousand needles pricking, he continued with all his might to push for the formation of the talisman array.

Meanwhile, the third-rank middle-grade demon beast seemed to have sensed the peculiarity on Xu Ping's side.

It halted its heavy steps, raised its enormous head high, and a glint of vigilance passed through its eyes.

Following that, it let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

The flames surrounding its body instantly surged several zhang high, the scorching temperature distorting the air around it.

Immediately, the beast opened its massive mouth, once again spewing out a pillar of lava fire.

This time, the lava fire pillar's power surpassed its previous one, containing an even more terrifying strength.

The pillar, like a primordial beast freed from its shackles, surged wildly towards Xu Ping with heaven-destroying, earth-extinguishing momentum.

Wherever it passed, it seemed to set space ablaze, leaving a twisted black trail, and the surrounding magma was stirred up into waves dozens of zhang high, making a formidable spectacle.

Xu Ping endured the piercing pain in his mind like a thousand needles pricking, seeing the surging lava fire pillar.

His eyes showed not a hint of fear, only endless grim determination.

"Explode!!!"

Xu Ping's lips parted slightly, chillingly uttering a single word.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two hard-formed Three-Talent Talisman Arrays met the surging lava fire pillar and resolutely exploded.

The terrifying might released by the talisman arrays was like a meteor from the heavens crashing down, stirring up massive waves of magma in this world of lava.

Thud!

That terrifying power collided head-on with the lava fire pillar.

For a moment, it seemed the entire world held only this fierce clash of two forces.

The light was blinding, and the roaring sound was so loud it hurt the eardrums.

Energy waves rippled outward, turning any solid rock instantaneously to dust, and churning the surrounding magma like boiling water, splattering in all directions.

In this intense collision, the power of the Three-Talent Talisman Array gradually gained the upper hand.

The once unstoppable lava fire pillar began to twist and deform under the fierce impact of the talisman array's power.

Finally, with a loud explosion, the lava fire pillar was completely shattered by the Three-Talent Talisman Array.

The fragmented fire pillar turned into countless scorching fragments, scattering in all directions.

And the remaining power of the talisman array, like a surging tide, swept towards the third-rank middle-grade demon beast.

The demon beast seemed to realize that danger was approaching.

Its eyes showed a human-like fear, the once fierce eyes now filled with panic.

It surged demonic power throughout its body, attempting to struggle away, but it was already too late.

Boom!

Roar!

The power of the talisman array instantly engulfed it, and the beast let out a series of tragic screams.

Under the continued assault of the talisman array, the aura of the third-rank middle-grade demon beast quickly weakened.

The flames that once blazed brightly around its body became dim and lackluster, like a candle about to go out.

Large areas of its massive body were covered in charred, savage wounds, from which blood gushed out, only to vaporize in the heat, merging into the surrounding molten rock as if never having existed at all…
