What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

131 It's Impossible for a Fool to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Hero, I'm hiding in a paper effigy. I'm not afraid of the sun."

The woman answered honestly.

"But you can't come out?"

"Yes, I can only move freely at night."

"Then go stay in the Beast Taming Bag."

With a thought, Song Shi stored the female paper effigy. Otherwise, it would feel strange if he kept hugging it.

"Granny Cat is actually here. Is Huang Heyu here?"

Song Shi pondered and walked to the city gate. This place was already open for entry and exit. He did not know if it was because the officials of Great Qian had removed the lockdown limits or because of some other reason.

At the very least, there were not many people at the entrance, and there were not many soldiers guarding the city either.

Song Shi walked straight towards the reeds. From afar, he could smell the smell of blood. Then, his pupils constricted.

The reedy area had turned blood-red, like a river of flowing blood.

This place was definitely not like this previously!

"What's going on…"

Song Shi approached curiously and immediately realized that white bones were floating in the blood river. Their flesh and blood had completely disappeared, as if they had turned into a part of the blood river.

In the blood, there was a faint Unholy aura that reverberated around it, making him feel that it was exceptionally dangerous.

"Good lord, it's really created by the Array Formation Power."

After taking a closer look, Song Shi sensed the Array Formation Power and realized that the array formation was far more terrifying than the tip of the iceberg he had encountered before.

A figure appeared on the opposite riverbank. He looked middle-aged and was dressed in rough linen clothes. His hair was messy like a chicken's nest. He chuckled and said, "Another person who's not afraid of death. Are you interested in working together to break this array formation?"

"Not interested."

Song Shi had died many times on this array formation. If he continued to die, the benefits would not be high and he would be easily discovered. There was no need.

Unless there was something he needed in this array formation.

"What are you pretending for? Since you're here, you should know the origin of this cave abode. Don't tell me you are not interested in the Blood Transformation Technique and Blood Rebirth Secret Technique inside?"

Song Shi shook his head. The Blood Transformation Technique sounded like a demonic cultivation technique. As for Blood Rebirth, what a joke. Who cared if a few drops of blood could help one rebirth? It will never be better than the system's rebirth.

"There are spiritual herbs inside that can help you form your core or even form your Nascent Soul. You can't possibly…"

"At the moment I am not interested."

After being rejected three times in a row, this person was starting to get unhappy. He said angrily, "Then don't stay here to watch the show!"

"I want to see what happen, what can you do about it? Come and hit me if you want."

Song Shi shrugged. He felt that this person was quite interesting and wanted to trick him into having a death wish.

The latter glared at Song Shi coldly for a moment before turning around and saying, "This person is unwilling to join us. Kill him, lest he takes advantage of us when we break the Array Formation."

A few people immediately appeared on the other side of the river that was originally empty. They were all cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Those who were interested in exploring this cave abode were basically Foundation Establishment cultivators. Those who rashly explored at the Qi Refinement realm were mostly dead, and most Golden Core cultivators looked down on them.

"I don't think we have to go so far. There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of him alone?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe.

Song Shi took a look and saw that this person was actually an acquaintance. It was Daoist Cai, who had tricked him back then. After not seeing him for a few months, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

"Looks like he obtained the reward from back then."

Song Shi glanced at them. Apart from the Chicken Nest hair, five people had come out. The other four were at least at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Daoist Cai, who was at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm, seemed a little out of place.

"That's right. This formation is about to be at its weakest. Let's try to break it first before settling him."

The only perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke. This person had a long beard, white hair, and was dressed in green clothes. He held a wooden ruler and looked a little like a teacher.

He did not even look at Song Shi. The ruler in his hand emitted a white light, and his body emitted a righteous aura. It was obvious that he was cultivating a righteous cultivation technique.

"Over the past three months, more than a thousand cultivators have died here. As for which batch,

I'm not sure."

Perhaps it was because Daoist Cai cultivated the Thunder Technique and restrained the power of the evil formation here that he was able to join this team.

"Oh, you came at the right time. Which batch of cultivators attempting to break the Array formation are you? It seems that many cultivators died in this river."

Song Shi was interested.

"Over the past three months, more than a thousand cultivators have died here. As for which batch, I'm not sure."

Daoist Cai smiled at Song Shi with a very kind attitude. "Sir, why don't you join us? We've made ample preparations this time. We have a high chance of breaking the Array Formation and obtaining the treasures in the cave abode."

"Wait till you open it first."

Song Shi grinned. He felt that this guy would not be so kind. He was probably trying to rope him in to rebel against the others.

These words made the others frown. Their eyes were cold. If they had thought that it was troublesome to attack him just now, they were now filled with killing intent.

Song Shi smiled and was not afraid.

This reaction made the expressions of the few of them change slightly. They quickly restrained their killing intent and became a little more afraid.

In their opinion, anyone who dared to provoke them despite the fact that there were so many Foundation Establishment cultivators was either a fool or had enough confidence and strength to defeat them.

Clearly, it was impossible for a fool to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

"How can you tolerate this?"

Chicken Nest Hair couldn't stand it anymore. "At most, if we can don't break the array today and just kill him!"

Song Shi took another look at this fellow. He was holding a Buddhist Vajra pestle Dharma artifact. His killing intent was quite strong.

"I don't think he'll do anything stupid."

The teacher said coldly. He was already at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, so he was not afraid that Song Shi would really attack.

"Hmph, you better know what's good for you!"

Another big-nosed cultivator with a bad temper snorted coldly. Two balls of fire spewed out of his nostrils. Song Shi could tell that he cultivated a Yang cultivation technique.

Seeing that Song Shi had angered the others, Daoist Cai's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

At this moment, the teacher made a hand seal, and white vital essence condensed into runes in his palm.

Song Shi took another look. Runes were one of the most basic things in cultivation like Array Formations and talismans. They were like words in a language. By choosing the corresponding runes, one could connect to the Array Formation and crack it.

This person knew about Array Formations. After he continuously shot out runes, the blood river in front of him squirmed and quickly became clear. He then slashed at the water surface and took the initiative to open up a path.

At the bottom of the river, the original mud had been cleared by someone. There was a blood-colored door at the bottom of the river, emitting circles of blood-colored cold energy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, keep an eye on the back first. Don't let anyone mess around and disturb the Array Formation."

The teacher said to a short and fat cultivator. The two of them seemed to have a good relationship.

"No problem. You guys go down first. I'll come down again if you need me."

RUMBLE!

After the few of them went down, they directly began to attack the Blood Gate. The Array Formation Power fluctuated, spreading circles of ripples, causing the entire river to boil.

"Sir, don't act rashly, lest others misunderstand."

Cultivator Zhao looked at Song Shi indifferently. A flying sword appeared beside him, emitting a brilliant golden radiance.

Song Shi did not speak. He quietly watched the few of them break the array and secretly observed the situation of the array formation.

"The original jade door has turned blood-red. The power of the Array Formation has become much stronger. It has absorbed the power from all the dead cultivators."

Through the circulation of the Array Formation's power, Song Shi could tell the reason for the change in the Array Formation.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted slightly. He realized that the man with the chicken nest hair who wanted to kill him at the beginning had certain cheap tricks up his sleeve and wanted to betray the group for his own advantage.

132 You Forced Me to Kill You Part 1

This guy's technique was hidden very well. He mixed the methods that would affect the Array Formation in his cheap attacks and released them. If not for his good Array Formation skills, Song Shi would not have noticed it.

The cultivator who looked like a teacher was too busy breaking the array formation and did not notice that someone among his companions was playing tricks on them.

"Eh, this person…"

After taking another look, Song Shi realized that this person had complex motives up his sleeves.

Perhaps sensing Song Shi's gaze, he suddenly turned to look at Song Shi with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Seeing that the other party had already shifted his gaze away, he was puzzled. Could it be that he had been discovered?

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, my cultivation level is too low. After attacking for a while, my Essence Energy will be soon depleted. Can I take a break?"

Daoist Cai panted.

"No problem. Your lightning technique is quite ferocious. It indeed consumes a lot of Nomological power."

Cultivator Zhao nodded and exchanged places with Daoist Cai. He used his flying sword to help break the array.

Before Daoist Cai could come up, the surrounding blood river suddenly boiled. The array formation controlled by the teacher cultivator seemed to lose control on the spot and the river water on both sides poured down with a blood-colored cold light.

"Oh my god!"

Daoist Cai, who was originally panting, immediately regained his strength. He kicked wildly, and afterimages appeared on his legs. With lightning flashing, he managed to escape at the last moment before the blood river poured onto him.

"Shit!"

The teacher in front of the bloody door hurriedly raised the ruler above his head, unable to dodge in time.

The four people who were still breaking the array at the bottom of the river were drowned in blood in the blink of an eye.

The water itself was nothing. The key was that the Bloodseeker light contained in it was very terrifying. With just a touch, the light of the Dharma artifacts they were carrying dimmed and their power was quickly worn down.

Fortunately, Foundation Establishment cultivators were much stronger than Qi Refinement cultivators. This demonic light that could turn Qi Refinement cultivators into blood water did not immediately break through their Defense.

"Master Li, what's going on? Aren't you confident that you can control the Bloodseeker Light before we started?"

The man with the chicken nest hair questioned angrily.

Song Shi was a little speechless. This was really a thief crying out loud about catching thieves[1].

His acting skills were not bad.

Upon being questioned like this, Cultivator Li, who looked like a teacher, blushed. He really did not expect the Array Formation to suddenly change.

"Cough, let's retreat first!"

He coughed and did not want to explain further. The main reason was presumed to be because the Array Formation was changing rapidly and was becoming more and more dangerous.

In reality, he was deliberately stalling for time so he did not have to undergo questioning.

In the next second, not only did the Bloodseeker light in the river erupt, but the source of the demonic light, the Blood Gate that was filled with runes, also lit up.

The faces of the few people who were already facing difficulties turned pale. They were completely drowned in blood. Then, a few people screamed in panic.

In the end, even their screams were swallowed by the river.

"Strange, it's too strange. Another batch has been killed."

Daoist Cai's face turned pale. "Those who died included cultivators that have not reached the Foundation Establishment realm but also those that had. This place is too violent."

Seeing that Song Shi was still observing the river, he frowned and asked, "Did you discover something?"

"Didn't you notice it too? Otherwise, why did you retreat?"

Song Shi was still looking at the river, using the Great Yin Form Observation to check the situation.

Something interesting was happening inside. Chicken Nest was screaming in agony as he used his Array Formation power to attack the others. Teacher Li did not last long before he was killed by the blood light.

"I just sensed that something was wrong and instinctively escaped. Who would have thought that this would happen?"

Daoist Cai had lingering fears. "The team that broke the array last time was weaker than us, and they weren't trapped so quickly either. Could this be because of you?"

"I missed the part where this is my problem?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. He had no interest in taking the blame. He said indifferently, "I'm far enough away from you guys, and I've only just come here. I don't have any grudges with you guys, so what reason do I have to trick you?"

After saying that, he saw that Chicken Nest Hair had killed everyone below and turned around and climbed up. He frowned slightly. "Why did he kill everyone?"

"Hmph, money moves people's hearts. What other reason do you need?"

Daoist Cai did not believe Song Shi's words and carefully retreated.

Crash!

A hand that was still covered in blood extended out from the blood river. Chicken nest hair jumped out covered in blood and pointed angrily at Song Shi. "You were the one who secretly disrupted the Array Formation and caused the deaths of Teacher Li and the rest!"

"The guilty party always makes the first complaint[2]. You're really thick-skinned."

Song Shi had already predicted that this would happen. This guy really had award-winning acting skills. But after all if he didn't act this was, he would really be letting down his traitorous character.

"Wanderer Du, what's going on?"

Daoist Cai felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell who was the actual problem.

"Hmph, when we attacked the Array Formation, he disrupted it from the outside, causing us to be attacked by the Array Formation in all directions. The three of them died below because of this. If I didn't have the protection of Buddhist Dharma artifacts, I would have also turned into blood!"

Wanderer Du, whose Chicken nest hair reeked of blood, was burning with anger. "Daoist Cai, quickly kill him with me. Otherwise, this person will definitely defeat us one by one to secretly silence us."

Song Shi could not help but laugh. "Looks like you're the one who wants to silence me. My sudden arrival today should have disrupted your plan. Of course, his escape was also beyond your expectations."

Daoist Cai's expression changed. Something had indeed happened while he was replacing Cultivator Zhao to monitor Song Shi on the shore. It did seem like Wandered Du wanted to capture and kill everyone in one fell swoop.

However, he still could not determine who had attacked.

Thinking of this, he coughed. "I'm not in a good state and you're injured, but this person has the strength of the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Let's protect ourselves first."

Wanderer Du's expression changed, "You are right. I was too impulsive and forgot about this."

He exhaled and moved towards Daoist Cai, "I hope I can leave with you, Brother Cai. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if we are separated~"

Just as he said the word 'danger', the river surface shook. A blood-colored wave that was more than a hundred feet tall swept towards Daoist Cai and Song Shi.

"Look, he's not even willing to let us off now. He's controlling the Crowd Control Array Formation technique to attack again!"

This chicken nest hair Wanderer Du continued to slander him.

Daoist Cai's expression was ugly as he hurriedly retreated.

He said in a panic, "Brother Cai, save me!"

11:59

"Get lost!"

"He is even attacking the people on the shore this time!"

Song Shi was surprised. He glanced at Wanderer Du's fingers that were forming seals behind his back. His afterimage swayed and he retreated a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, calmly watching this person's performance.

Seeing that Song Shi was so fast and Daoist Cai was about to escape, Wanderer Du's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He chased after Daoist Cai and grabbed his arm.

He said in a panic, "Brother Cai, save me!"

"Get lost!"

Daoist Cai had already sensed that something was wrong. Lightning crackled on his body, and he wanted to push him back. However, a thick layer of blood-colored light surged out of his hand.

"You!"

Sensing that there was something wrong with this person, he did not hesitate to launch a lightning attack. The lightning in his palm jumped and smashed fiercely at the other party's chest.

At such a critical moment, be it casting spells or activating Dharma artifacts, they were not as fast as directly attacking.

BANG!

Wanderer Du also struck out with his palm, scattering the lightning. He and Daoist Cai's bodies shook for a moment before they separated.

Although Daoist Cai used the recoil to retreat, but a blood snake suddenly appeared under his feet and wrapped around him. Then, the blood river poured back and swallowed him whole.

As the river water receded, Daoist Cai was swept back into the river. He struggled in it and soon stopped moving.

After dealing with Daoist Cai, the unaffiliated cultivator looked at Song Shi with a sinister smile. "Do you want to come down yourself, or should I beat you to death and drag you down?"

Song Shi had already escaped the blood-colored waves and landed in the distance.

Seeing that this person revealed his true intentions, he had a calm expression and smiled, "You can't be too greedy. I don't care if you cheat them, but if you insist on killing me, that's not right. You're forcing me to kill you."

133 Dragon Subduing Palm

"Hehe, do you think you can kill me just because you're at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm?"

Chicken nest hair Wanderer Du twisted his neck with a disdainful expression, "Even a Nascent Soul can't kill me. Do you think a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you is worthy?"

"Nascent Soul…"

Song Shi was deep in thought. "To be able to come into contact with a Nascent Soul and control the Array Formation here, you either have something to do with the blood-robed old ghost or you are the blood-robed old ghost!"

Chicken nest hair's pupils constricted. This kid had seen through his identity, he could not let him leave alive!

He raised his hand and formed a seal. The surface of the river suddenly rose and transformed into a blood-colored python that roared as it coiled around him.

"Since you've said this, I can't let you leave alive. Become a part of my Blood River."

Amidst the sinister voice, Song Shi pursed his lips and muttered in his heart, "I can also leave dead I suppose."

Originally, he was not in a hurry and was prepared to fight with this fellow. Suddenly, he realized that the white bones in the river had reorganized into skeletons and stood up one after another. Their eyes emitted a blood-colored light as they let out strange cries.

"Mm? These skeletons…"

Song Shi's expression changed when he saw the things charging at him.

This was not because he was afraid, but because he felt that the Blood River was not simple.

"The blood river is actually so obedient. It even nurtured such small monsters for attack. Looks like it's not as easy as just being an Array Formation."

Faced with the river of blood that spanned several kilometers, Song Shi thought of something and said in surprise, "Could this be your Dharma treasure?"

"Hehe, you guessed right. This is the Blood Evil Demon River artifact cultivated by the Blood Transformation Technique. The more cultivators you kill, the stronger it will be!"

He stepped on the demonic river. "Your blood energy is very vigorous. Killing you will probably increase the power of the blood river by a large margin. It will only be a matter of time before I can advance it to become a Numinous artifact."

Seeing that this person had a majestic aura under the support of the Blood River, but it was not to the extent that he could easily kill him, he frowned and said, "If you were the old ghost in blood-red clothes, you wouldn't be so weak."

Seeing that Song Shi was calm, the old ghost, who had always been suspicious of people, looked into the distance.

This person was calm and composed. Could it be that he had something to rely on?

"Don't be nervous. I don't have any helpers. I'll definitely die. Share your secret with me. I won't tell anyone else."

Song Shi asked curiously. Compared to killing this person or being killed by this person, he was more interested in investigating some of this person's secrets.

"Is there something wrong with your brain? How are you going to tell anyone when you're dead?"

The blood-robed old ghost felt that this person wasn't afraid of him because there was something wrong with his brain.

"Don't insult me."

Song Shi's face darkened, "There's nothing wrong with my brain."

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Die!"

The blood-robed old ghost felt irritated by Song Shi's long-winded words. A blood-red light flashed in his eyes.

The blood-red light in the eyes of the skeletons that had surrounded Song Shi fluctuated as they sped up and charged at Song Shi.

Crack!

With a flash of golden light, the skeletons that approached returned in pieces of bones.

The blood they were carrying was also blocked by the scorching hot primeval essence around Song Shi's body. The parts that came into direct contact with each other were consumed with a series of sizzling sounds.

The blood-robed old ghost did not expect these small fries to threaten him. He raised his calloused right hand and shook it at Song Shi.

Roar!

The huge blood python circling around him immediately twisted its body and opened its mouth to bite Song Shi.

The Blood Python did not seem to attack in a straight line, but its attacks were even more vicious and unpredictable. With a cold blood aura, its bloody mouth descended with a shadow.

Song Shi looked like a mouse that had been targeted by a giant python. It was as if he could only wait for death.

Looking at the python that was condensed from cold blood and blood light, he took a step forward and nine small suns appeared on his body.

The dark red Essence Energy was like magma when a volcano erupted. The moment he raised his hand, the flames rolled like a long dragon and quickly transformed into a palm print.

The handprint quickly grew larger. It was more than 100 feet long and was engraved with dragon patterns. Faint dragon roars echoed, as if a true dragon was pressed into the palm and slapped the Blood Python's head.

Dragon Subduing Palm!

There was a loud bang!

The Blood Python collided with the Dragon Subduing Palm. The former was the power of Dharma treasure, while Song Shi's huge palm was also a fifth-grade divine power. Even though he was only at the Beginner realm, its power was still especially powerful.

The two of them were incompatible like fire and water. In an instant, they exploded on the spot, stirring up a circle of terrifying energy waves. After it spread, cracks appeared on the riverbank, forcing Song Shi back.

Song Shi was sent flying a hundred meters away. Along the way, the plants that had just sprouted turned into ashes. Flames were released from the acupuncture points behind him, forming a circle of energy that quickly stabilized his body and he stopped at the tip of a withered grass.

Amidst the gust that wreaked havoc in all directions, the smashed blood snake turned into waves of blood-colored energy which returned to and congregate back with each other. As it squirmed, it turned back into a blood python.

"He actually blocked the attack of the Blood River that I've condensed as an artifact spirit!"

The blood-robed old ghost's expression turned solemn. Although he was not in his peak state, a blow from a pseudo-Numinous artifacts was not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand.

For this person to be able to receive it, it could only mean that his combat strength had reached the Golden Core realm!

"I didn't expect to meet a freak. No wonder he's so confident!"

The blood-robed old ghost narrowed his eyes. Other than those freaks who could fight those above their level, who else could Song Shi be?

He looked at the unused sword at Song Shi's waist.

Even a casual palm strike was so powerful. If he used a sword… what would happen?

If he knew that Song Shi's sword martial arts skill was only a first-grade divine power and that his close combat martial arts were his most powerful skills, he would probably have the confidence to kill him again.

But at this moment, Song Shi's Dragon Subduing Palm frightened him. He said with some fear, "Which faction are you from? Your divine power is masculine and domineering with dragon like patterns. Could it be a divine power from the Qian Dragon Divine Technique of the royal family of Great Qian?"

If this person was really related to the royal family, then he had to prepare to escape. Back then, he had already suffered greatly at the hands of the powerhouses of Great Qian.

Song Shi shook his numb hands and looked at the blood-robed old ghost. "I don't know what you're talking about. From the looks of it, you're only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Therefore, you can only use schemes to kill others. Don't tell me you killed all these people?"

"Hmph, some ants who can't even break the Array Formation. Why would I need to kill them?"

The blood-robed old ghost said disdainfully, "I'm only killing people who might be able to break the array. How can there be someone like you who has a strong Qi and blood!"

"Demonic beasts are also rich in Qi and blood. Why don't you kill them? Do cultivators like to fight among themselves?"

Song Shi pursed his lips.

"What do you know? My Blood River can only be refined here for a short period of time. Where can I find demon beasts here?"

The blood-robed old ghost was impatient. "Since you have the ability, I can't kill you. Scram. Don't come here and affect my refinement of Dharma treasure!"

"There are some in Silken City. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"

Song Shi smiled. The paper effigy seller, Granny Cat, should be a demon.

"I told you to get lost!"

The blood-robed old ghost was a little furious.

Frowning, Song Shi looked at the blood river. This thing was much stronger than ordinary Dharma treasures. He estimated that if he didn't die a few times, he wouldn't be able to kill this guy.

This place was too close to Silken City. The commotion just now had already attracted prying eyes, and it was difficult for the Yin Yan Reversal Array Disc to envelop the cave abode that already had an Array Formation.

Courting death here was not suitable for the time being. He plan for it if he wanted to do so, such as returning to the city to die instead.

He was prepared to return to the well and revive after death. He would find an opportunity to attack after changing his identity.

"If you tell me to get lost, won't I lose face?"

Song Shi's hand formed a large fireball, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

"Amitabha!"

Just as he was about to make a move, a Buddhist proclamation interrupted him.

134 Competing in Array Formation Skills

Buddhist light illuminated the sky as a monk in a red kasaya and a lotus-flower Dharma treasure flew over. The golden light was brilliant and he looked like a Buddha from the Western Heaven.

"How pretentious!"

Song Shi pursed his lips. In his opinion, this was a Golden Core Buddhist cultivator. His head was so bright that it was glowing like a sun and he looked very much like a Buddha.

Beside him was a young monk. On closer look, it was Zheng Yuan, whom he had met before.

This fellow had also reached the Foundation Establishment realm and was stepping on an alms bowl Dharma treasures. He looked extraordinary.

The Buddha next to him spoke like rolling thunder, "Blood-robed old ghost, you have possessed the body of a disciple of Jinyuan Temple and brought disaster to the human world. Today, this old monk will do the deed of subduing demons and save the world!"

Song Shi was enlightened. So it was a possession. He had thought that this fellow was the disciple of the blood-robed old ghost or something.

His righteous words made Song Shi purse his lips. Why didn't this old monk come out just now? Wasn't he just trying to take advantage of him by coming out only now?

The blood-robed old ghost sneered, "Elder Jin, bald donkey, I've killed more than a thousand cultivators here. Why didn't you come out immediately when that happened?"

"I'm cultivating in seclusion to comprehend Buddhism. How would I know that you're out here causing trouble?"

Abbot Jin Yuan's eyes were filled with anger, "If I knew, I would have eliminated you long ago."

The blood-robed old ghost simply replied with a mocking expression.

Abbot Jin Yuan looked at Song Shi, "Young Hero, this demon has killed countless people and is an evil creature. I am willing to help you kill this demon."

The blood-robed old ghost's expression changed. He wouldn't be afraid if he faced either of them alone, but if they joined forces, he might really be in danger.

"Did you just say you could defeat me if I was alone?"

Song Shi looked furiously at the blood-robed old ghost. "Try saying that again."

The blood-robed old ghost's face darkened. Was there something wrong with this person's brain? Why was he so concerned about such a thing?

He said angrily, "So what if I deal with the two of you at the same time? I'll still kill you!"

Song Shi smiled. "There you said it, you want to fight against the both of us. I didn't force you to admit this"

"Om-Ma Ni Pad-Me-Hum!"

Abbot Jin Yuan chanted the Six Words of Buddhism. Bright and masculine Dharmic powers formed a swastika the size of a small building. It carried the power to suppress evil and struck down mercilessly.

Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, the blood river evaporated wisps of black gas into thin air and quickly melted into nothingness. Its power was greatly weakened.

His cultivation level was far above Song Shi's. The moment he arrived, he made the blood-robed old ghost feel extremely pressured.

Furthermore, as compared to Song Shi's Nine Yang Essence Energy, the blood-robed old ghost hated the old monk's Buddhist Dharma even more. The blood python beside him moved according to his will. With a roar, it bit the Buddhist seal into pieces.

At this moment, the fireball that had condensed to the extreme in Song Shi's palm was thrown out. The moment it left his hand and hit the Blood Python, it instantly expanded.

Boom!

The Blood Python's body was blown apart and it let out an angry scream. After reforming, it hid in the blood river and looked at Song Shi coldly.

"Young Hero, your cultivation is profound. Today, we will attack from the front and back. Thy demon will definitely die."

The confidence in Abbot Jin Yuan's eyes increased greatly. The combat strength of this itinerant without hesitation.

cultivator who came from who knew where was comparable to a Golden Core cultivator. With him, he was very confident in defeating this demon.

"You in front, I will be behind."

Song Shi smiled. He was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. No matter how strong his combat strength was, there was still a gap between their realms. He was not interested in rushing to the front to be a sacrificial offering.

"Excellent!"

Abbot Jin Yuan agreed generously. The lotus Dharma treasures beneath him spun, forming a golden barrier that slashed over.

The blood-colored river water was split into two by the light, and its power was affected greatly.

"Hmph, Bloodseeker Light!"

The blood-red-robed old ghost waved his hand. The blood-colored light in the river shot backward and collided with the Buddhist light, melting each other.

Roar!

A fire dragon flew out from beside the Buddhist light and attacked the blood-robed old ghost without hesitation.

"Come down if you dare!"

The blood-robed old ghost said ruthlessly and fused into the blood river. The long fire dragon blasted on the river surface, causing blood to fill the sky.

The Nine Yang Essence Energy evaporated the blood along the way, creating a huge pit at the bottom of the river. Then, it absorbed all the impact.

There was no sign of the blood-robed old ghost in the broken river. The latter had already appeared in front of the Blood Gate.

"Come, break the Array Formation and come kill me!"

He laughed arrogantly and provocatively.

Abbot Jin Yuan stood on the lotus Dharma treasures and flew closer. He was immediately blocked by a blood-colored light. The blood waves on the river surged, making it difficult for him to approach.

"Master, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to kill him if we let him hide in his lair."

The Monk Zhengyuan revealed a disappointed expression, "Half a year ago, if I had known that the person in the temple had been possessed by him, I would have taken advantage of his weakness to eliminate him, then we wouldn't have been in such trouble today."

"It's not your fault. This old ghost is very cunning. If he doesn't recover enough strength, he won't show himself easily."

Abbot Jin Yuan sat on the lotus seat and pressed his palms together. Buddhist runes flew out openly and landed in the blood river, forcing the blood light back.

Song Shi could not help but look at the blood-robed old ghost who was hiding in front of the blood door and laughing strangely. He felt a little emotional.

The person this guy possessed was probably the mage who was preparing to go to his house to do the ritual.

Back then, he must have gone into hiding after taking over the body. When he came over, he only met Dai Dou, who had turned into a zombie. Since when he destroyed the Ghost Vine at the bottom of the river, he did not encounter the soul of a Mage either.

It wasn't that he hadn't encountered it, but that this Mage's soul and body had been snatched away by the blood-robed old ghost.

"Could this be fate?"

Song Shi looked at the blood-robed old ghost and was a little puzzled. This Mage was actually not killed by Hei Duzi. Was this purely just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and formed a seal, flicking out a few runes.

The power of the blood river, which had been dissipating under Abbot Jin Yuan's Buddhist runes, immediately decreased drastically. The Buddhist runes quickly created passageways.

The blood-robed old ghost's pupils constricted, "Damn this kid, you're also a third-grade array master!"

As compared to Abbot Jin Yuan who only knew a little about Array Formations and what he was doing could be compared to using a stupid method to break them which would take a long time, then Song Shi's method could be comparable to directly jamming the key nodes in the operation center of his Array Formation.

He had no choice but to form hand seals and shoot out blood-colored runes to repair the Array Formation.

For a moment, Song Shi and the blood-robed old ghost used the Array Formation here as a platform to compete in their respective mastery of Array Formation techniques.

The Array Formation kept changing. One moment, it became stronger, and the next moment, it became weaker. There was an additional loophole here and there that Song Shi used to attack, but it was quickly repaired by the Blood-robed old ghost.

Abbot Jin Yuan and his disciple looked at Song Shi in surprise. They did not expect a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Array Formation foundation to be so powerful that he could actually fight the blood-robed old ghost.

"Young Hero, you're amazing. You'll definitely be able to break this array formation today!"

Abbot Jin Yuan laughed out loud. He was also at the level of a second-grade array master. Working with Song Shi, the scales were constantly tilting in their favor.

Suddenly there was a rumble.

The river bank split open, and the Array Formation collapsed. The blood-colored river shattered and the blood-robed old ghost staggered back from the shockwave.

Song Shi looked at the blood-robed old ghost whose face kept turning black, "You've become trapped like a turtle in a jar."

"If not for the fact that you don't look old, I would have thought that I had met a kindred spirit!"

The blood-robed old ghost smiled sinisterly, "The Array Formation outside has been broken. Come in if you dare."

He pushed open the blood-colored door and walked in without hesitation. The blood river beside him followed and spilled into the cave.

"Stay!"

A string of yellow prayer beads suddenly appeared and covered the old ghost's head. Buddhist light shone brightly and a series of sizzling sounds echoed.

"Old bald donkey, you tricked me!"

The blood-robed old ghost was furious. His attention had been focused on dealing with Song Shi just now, so he did not notice anything secretly approaching.

Boom!

A fire palm struck him and shattered the Blood Python protecting him. The brute force transmitted over, causing the blood-robed old ghost to vomit a large mouthful of blood.

Abbot Jin Yuan formed a seal and the prayer beads spun, severing the blood-robed old ghost's head.

"Hehe, do you think you can take me down just like that?"

The blood-robed old ghost who was with a broken neck laughed sinisterly. The dissipating blood river nearby swept back Song Shi and brought him into the Blood Gate, leaving behind an unfathomably deep passageway.

"Young people are still too impulsive. How can this old ghost be so easy to kill?"

Abbot Jin Yuan shook his head regretfully when he saw Song Shi being dragged away. He said to his disciple, "Zhengyuan, guard outside. I'll go in and see if I can kill him while he's injured."

"Yes, Master."

In the cave abode.

"Hmm? I can die again!"

When Song Shi stabilized himself, he had already fallen into a pool of blood. He was not afraid. Instead, he was looking forward to it.

It was better to be killed here than outside.

Wild shrieks and howls sounded in his ears. Dense bloody hands emerged and grabbed at him from all directions.

Song Shi waved his hands and quickly turned into afterimages, smashing these strange hands into pieces.

135 Physical Bodies are Like Clothes

Puff, puff, puff!

Song Shi's Unfettered Hand was agile and versatile. It was most suitable to deal with these large numbers of strange hands. After a few strikes, the blood river was forced back by thirty feet.

"Hehe, let's see how much strength you have."

The blood-robed old ghost appeared in the blood river. He held his head and was laughing strangely.

"You're all right even now?"

This was the first time Song Shi had encountered a cultivator who acted as if nothing had happened even though his head had fallen off.

"What a frog at the bottom of the well[1]! The power of my Blood Transformation Technique exceeds your imagination. In this blood river, as long as my soul is not destroyed, you won't be able to kill me even if you chop off my head and dig out my heart."

The blood-robed old ghost smiled smugly, "When I cultivate the great divine power of Blood Rebirth, who else in the world can kill me?"

"Sounds pretty impressive."

Song Shi was surprised. He had felt that something was amiss when he heard about the Blood Transformation Technique, but he did not expect it to be so abnormal.

He was a little interested.

"There's no need to talk about it so much to a dead person like you. Since you've entered my bloody hole, just obediently turn into blood."

The blood-robed old ghost placed his head on the neck that still had traces of strangulation. Thick blood squirmed, and with a cracking sound, the broken neck healed itself. Song Shi was dumbfounded.

He twisted his neck and waved at Song Shi. An even thicker pool of blood submerged Song Shi. The Bloodseeker light was even denser than when it was outside.

Song Shi's protective primeval essence was being corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye amidst unbearable sounds.

"Abbot Jin Yuan, are you still coming in? If you don't"

Song Shi subconsciously looked behind him and thought to himself: "If you don't come in, I will be courting death."

"Stop looking. That old bald donkey is very cunning. He won't barge in for you."

The blood-robed old ghost thought that Song Shi was waiting for reinforcements and said with a mocking expression, "This place is not far from Jinyuan Temple to begin with. If he wanted to risk his life, he would have attacked long ago. What seclusion? He's just lying to you. Hahaha."

He was looking forward to seeing Song Shi fly into a rage out of humiliation after being fooled, but unfortunately, he did not see any reaction.

Instead, Song Shi dispersed his Essence Energy and protective golden light and placed his hand in the blood river.

A terrifying corrosive force surged over. Song Shi felt as if he had placed his hand into sulfuric acid. It was rapidly corroding, but it felt cold.

"This time, since my body is a little too strong. It will be painful to die."

Song Shi thought to himself. The first time he encountered the Bloodseeker Light, he turned into a pool of blood with a single touch.

Now that his physical body was much stronger, it was a little difficult for him to die easily and happily.

At this moment, he felt the Imperishable Golden Body, which he had just cultivated to the Beginner realm, circulate on its own. His skin became much more active and blocked the corrosion of the blood water.

He retracted his hand and realized that his skin was a little red and had yet to break.

"Your physical body is not bad. The material of your Dharma treasures is only so-so."

Seeing that Song Shi actually dared to touch his blood river with his body, the blood-robed old ghost's eyes revealed greed, "A top-grade Dharma Body. Even a Golden Core King would find it difficult to cultivate it. I've benefited greatly!"

Song Shi, who was about to be beaten to death by the blood-robed old ghost, was surprised. "You can still possess someone? I thought you can only possess someone once?"

"Hmph, who told you that you can only possess once? The physical body is just a shell, just like clothes. Can't you change into another set of clothes whenever?"

The blood-robed old ghost sneered. "Furthermore, I cultivate the Blood Transformation Technique and don't need to pay too much attention to my physical body. Now that my soul power has already recovered, I can naturally possess you again. Bring your body over!"

After taking a fancy to Song Shi's body, the blood-robed old ghost changed his methods and let the blood river form a suppressive force that crushed over.

Nine suns appeared on Song Shi's body, making him look like the sun god. As he resisted the power of the blood river, he asked curiously, "Since the body is like clothes Does this mean that you can also possess a pig?"

"Pig? Of course. Since you like pigs, I won't destroy your soul. I'll find a male pig to accompany you."

The blood-robed old ghost laughed loudly. In his eyes, Song Shi was already at death's door. He could do whatever he wanted.

"Is it that fun?"

Song Shi could not help but think of Marshal Zhu Bajie[2, who was reincarnated into a pig.

"Fun? When you become a male pig and breed with a sow, it will be truly fun for you!"

Seeing that Song Shi was still thinking about these things, the blood-robed old ghost felt that this person had lost his mind. Otherwise, he would not be so fearless.

"Blood River Formation, open!"

The blood-robed old ghost shouted as boundless blood light surged out. The entire blood river formed a vortex that drowned Song Shi. Coupled with the array formation in the cave abode, it formed a powerful force that could suppress even perfected Golden Core realm cultivators.

Song Shi's body sank and the nine suns on his body lost their color. He had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the ground and mobilize all sorts of powers.

A circle of golden barrier formed a ball behind the vital essence. At the same time, he circulated the Dragon Elephant Technique. The vital energy and blood in his body surged and quickly transformed into an elephant.

He was also forced to mobilize his mental strength and activate all the power related to his essence, Qi, and Spirit.

However, his body still made cracking sounds.

However, this also stimulated his potential. The Essence Energy, Essence Energy and Spirit in his body were all frantically improving themselves to deal with the external pressure.

The blood-robed old ghost's eyes flickered. "Not only do you cultivate both immortal and martial arts, but you also cultivate those bald donkeys' Dragon Elephant Technique. I have to say that your aptitude is really too good. You're comparable to a prodigy. too bad all your efforts will be mine in the future."

"Yours? If your attack is only like this, even if I sit here, it will be very difficult for you to kill me."

Song Shi mocked. He was provoking the blood-robed old ghost and wanted him to possess him directly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill this fellow.

The other party had just said that with the Blood Transformation Technique, ordinary injuries were not fatal at all. Hence he could only target the soul to truly kill him.

Therefore he could only wait for the other party to possess him before devouring his soul.

"Don't worry, I'll slowly grind you down."

The blood-robed old ghost smiled. With his cautious personality, he naturally wouldn't seize the other party's body immediately. Instead, he would first exhaust the other party's essence, Qi, and Spirit before taking him down effortlessly.

...

Song Shi's expression darkened. He hated enemies who liked to torture him to death, affecting the speed at which he farmed death.

"Enjoy it. Only such affliction can make you feel the beauty of survival."

The blood-robed old ghost turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence. "I'll go find a wild boar for you now. Hehe, I need a beast to order around anyways."

The blood river churned and the blood-robed old ghost disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind the suppressed Song Shi.

"This old man is really asking for a beating."

Song Shi cursed silently. If it were anyone else, they might have collapsed on the spot when they heard that their soul would be injected into the wild boar's body while being trapped and tortured to death.

It was obvious that this fellow had said this on purpose. He might not really know how to find a wild boar. He just wanted to kill Song Shi mentally and make him break down on the inside.

"Old ghost, no matter how cunning you are, the outcome will be the same."

Song Shi muttered in his heart. He closed his eyes and resisted seriously under the pressure. The Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Connate Pure Yang Technique, the first part of the Dragon Elephant Technique, and the imperishable Golden Body circulated at the same time.

Among the four cultivation methods, the Imperishable Golden Body's cultivation speed was originally the slowest. Under the pressure at this moment, its circulation speed actually increased significantly, and it was even vaguely fusing with the other cultivation methods.

[1] "Frog at the bottom of the well" is a Chinese phrase used to describe people who have not had many experiences in the outside world

...

[2] Marshal Zhu Bajie is one of the main characters in the Chinese classic, 'Journey to the West' who was a heavenly official that took the form of a pig after reincarnation

136 I'll Eat Myself

This was something that had never happened before.

"The Immortal Divine Techniques are indeed more advanced and has a wider range."

Song Shi thought to himself. The current Immortal Divine techniques that he possesses are: The Nine Yang Divine Technique which cultivated the acupuncture points, the Connate Pure Yang Technique which cultivated the Dantian and the Dragon Elephant Technique that cultivated the Dantian.

Martial skills were the Iron Sand Palm, Phantom Image Step, Unfettered Hand, and the Dragon Subduing Palm that he cultivated which focused on his limbs.

Only the Imperishable Golden Body covered his entire body. Perhaps this was the key to the fusion of his cultivation techniques.

As the circulation of the cultivation technique's power became more and more coordinated, Song Shi realized that the essence, energy, and spirit in his body were gradually condensing into one, as if they had transformed into a placenta.

Very naturally, he completed the construction of the basic Foundation Establishment realm ability for the Embryonic Breathing technique. The energy in his body formed a new cycle. For a period of time, he did not need to breathe or even absorb energy from the outside world to survive.

"This is the key stated in the Primordial Chaos Chapter. Everything is like a newborn, like the state of the universe's Primordial Chaos, the world is filled with all sorts of possibilities!"

Song Shi was enlightened. Previously, he had always felt that cultivating the Imperishable Golden Body was too slow. It turned out that this was because he lacked pressure and hence could not enter the Embryonic Breathing technique.

In the end, he had improved too quickly. He had advanced from the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm in just three months. The Embryonic Breathing technique required time to circulate in his body. So he had to work hard to slowly change this.

Now that he was suppressed by the Array Formation Power in the blood array, everything about him was isolated from the outside world. Under the immense pressure, he had cultivated the Embryonic Breathing technique and had also made some progress in the Primordial Chaos Chapter of the Imperishable Golden Body.

Under the influence of the Imperishable Golden Body, the energy in the nine acupuncture points began to merge into one, forming an even larger sun. Its explosive power and defense directly increased by a level.

Amidst the blood, Song Shi felt much less pressure. The previous signs of his bones being crushed also disappeared.

The Essence Energy in his body condensed into one, and his Essence Energy became purer and purer. In particular, his glabella began to glow.

This was the last acupuncture point in the Foundation Establishment stage of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Upper Dantian!

This Acupuncture point was also termed the Niwan Palace. It was connected to the Spiritual Sea of the body, so the tenth Acupuncture point was not cultivating True Essence, but instead cultivating Spiritual Power.

Due to the Spiritual Power cultivated being Yin in nature, the tenth Acupuncture point could not be considered Yang for the time being. Hence, the cultivation technique was called the Nine Yang Divine Technique.

Of course, if his Spiritual Power continued to grow, turning Yin into Yang and cultivating him into a Yang God, then his cultivation method would be completely perfected.

Song Shi had also cultivated the Spirit-type cultivation technique, Grand Moon Visualization Method, so his Spiritual strength was not bad to begin with. Now, under the guidance of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the last acupuncture point was easily opened.

Buzz!

The glabella between his eyebrows shone brightly. A large amount of Spiritual strength condensed in one place, causing his Spiritual strength to undergo a transformation and directly rise to a higher level.

The increase in his Spiritual strength caused the Essence Energy and Essence Qi in Song Shi's body to boil. In turn, it stimulated the increase in his body and Essence Energy.

Golden light shone brightly on his body, forcing the blood light to retreat a little. Then, he took out the Essence Enhancing Pill he had drawn from his storage ring and ate it.

Now that his condition had improved, he still had to resist the Array Formation Power. He had consumed a lot of energy and had to replenish his energy. Otherwise, his strength would decrease.

Essence Enhancing Pills were made for the cultivation of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It quickly melted in his mouth and a pure energy spread throughout his body, allowing Song Shi to easily absorb it.

The consumption of energy in his body was replenished and Song Shi's realm steadily advanced to the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.

However, he realized that his foundation was too solid. One Essence Enhancing Pill usually needed ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to absorb it for half a month while late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level needed to absorb it for three to four days. However, Song Shi felt that he could do it for only half a day.

Indeed, in less than eight hours, the medicinal power of the Essence Enhancing Pill was almost exhausted. He was still quite a bit away from breaking through the small bottleneck and reaching the perfected Foundation Establishment realm from the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

"My combat strength is comparable to a Golden Core, so this kind of medicinal pill has less effect on me. This is the only way"

Song Shi had a strange expression on his face as he thought of something. Taking advantage of the fact that the blood-robed old ghost seemed to have gone out, he took out the devil pill and ate it.

"Does this count as eating myself"

He felt a little strange. Because this thing had absorbed his essence, Qi, and Spirit to condense, it had already completed the transformation of his power before he died. Therefore it did not disappear because of his resurrection.

This kind of special thing made him wonder if he could repeat the process a few more times and make use of the system to die continuously and produce special pills like the Demon Pill.

After all, every demonic pill would contain all his essence, Qi, and Spirit. Even if there was a loss in the middle, every time he refined and absorbed it, he could obtain a few percent of his essence, Qi, and Spirit in pill form.

"The only thing is that the process is too painful. When one's essence, energy, and spirit are extracted, it can be considered to be a fate worse than death."

Just as Song Shi was letting his imagination run wild, the power in the demonic pill began to release in his body, causing his expression to change.

This power was extremely vast, like a turbulent flood. It was roughly half of his current essence, Qi, and Spirit. Not only did it contain Essence Energy, but it also contained Spiritual Energy and Mental strength.

It was as if Song Shi had eaten half of himself in one bite. For a moment, he felt a little bloated.

He quickly circulated his cultivation techniques and crazily absorbed this power.

Fortunately, this power was extracted from his body. It came from the same source as his power now and was not difficult to absorb. It was just that the amount was relatively large.

Song Shi's cultivation level began to increase rapidly and the process was also a synchronized Enhancement of his essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Other than the system's direct rewards from cultivation, Song Shi had never improved so quickly in such a short amount of time.

"Interesting. I've encountered another way to improve quickly. It's a pity that that old woman only had one demonic seed. Otherwise, I could have made a few more pills."

Song Shi thought to himself, "That's not right. This old woman said that she obtained it from the cult master of the demonic sect. Perhaps after interacting with the people of the demonic sect, they would have something similar."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a chance. Then, he felt that there was something wrong with his mind. He actually wanted to sacrifice himself.

"If only I could find a way to be immune to the agonizing pain for a short period of time."

Song Shi sighed. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of pain, especially the feeling of living a life worse than death. To be honest, he did not want to experience too much. It was easy for him to become a masochist if he indulged in such fates too much.

Perhaps he had already become a masochist?

Song Shi quickly absorbed his strength and successfully crossed the bottleneck, officially stepping into the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.

After breaking through, he realized that the growth of his Essence Energy was gradually approaching the limit of his current realm.

At this point, he could prepare to form his Golden Core.

This was a huge threshold. It was not something that could be broken through despite having enough strength.

Core Formation involved the metamorphosis of Essence Energy and had to conform to the rules of heaven and earth. Without sufficient foundation and Comprehension, one might not even be able to break through for the rest of their lives.

Of course, this was true only for others.

...

Song Shi had only used half a year to reach this stage from a mortal. It was certain that it would not be too difficult for him to form his core.

"Haha, kid, that old bald donkey has already run away. Who still remembers that you're trapped here?"

The old ghost's proud voice came from outside, "Just now, I chased after that old bald donkey and caught a male wild boar on the way back. Are you ready to turn into a pig?"

The blood river churned as the blood-robed old ghost descended from the sky. He held a ten-foot-long wild boar in one hand with a smug expression.

He wanted to see if Song Shi was already extremely weak from the suppression., when the smile on his face turned into shock. "How is this possible? Can he still break through after being suppressed by me?"

137 Ten Thousand Snakes Soul Devourer, Summoning Someone From the Heavenly Ghost Sect

This illogical phenomenon made him think that he had sensed the surroundings wrongly. He checked again and realized that this kid had really reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm!

Half a day ago, the other party was still at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.

"Damn it, what did this kid eat? He can actually break through under the powerful suppression."

The blood-robed old ghost couldn't believe it. He walked back to the cave with a cold face and stared at the blood-colored vortex in the center.

He threw the unconscious wild boar to the side and sneered. "You probably have something good on you. Give it to me!"

With a hand seal and a tap, the blood water around Song Shi squirmed and transformed into dense blood snakes that wrapped around Song Shi's storage bag and storage ring.

Song Shi's Essence Energy vibrated and shattered the blood snake. An idea popped into his head and he took out all the pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

"I don't believe I can't get anything from you."

The blood-robed old ghost was furious. To him, Song Shi was a trapped mouse, he couldn't believe that he was still so arrogant.

He started to personally attack with Song Shi. With the help of the Array Formation Power, it took him half a day to strip Song Shi naked.

Song Shi's face was dark as he was trapped in the blood river. His entire body was naked. The blood-robed old ghost had snatched his clothes away. He felt especially embarrassed now.

"Hehe, being young is really good. Your physique makes me drool. When I take your body, I must take advantage of those fairies and demonesses."

The blood-robed old ghost laughed strangely. "How many female companions do you have now? Tell me, and I'll take good care of them for you in the future."

He deliberately emphasized the word 'take care' with a lewd smile, making Song Shi want to slap this guy's face.

Song Shi snorted impatiently. "Hurry up if you want to possess me. Don't dawdle!"

"Yo, are you still in a hurry to die so that you can become a pig?"

The blood-robed old ghost teased, "Don't be anxious. The risk of possession is not small. I see that your Spirit is quite strong. Since these are big risks, how can I not weaken you a little?"

Song Shi looked at the blood-robed old ghost coldly. If he activated the Hiderigami's contract power now, he had a chance to escape.

However, it would then be a little difficult to kill this fellow. He still had to wait for the other party to possess him and destroy his soul.

He closed his eyes and ignored him, continuing his cultivation.

In this extreme state, he realized that even if he temporarily reached a bottleneck, he could still touch some mystic realms that he could not reach under normal circumstances.

Ads by Pubfuture

For example, the essence, energy, and spirit in his entire body gradually fused into one, no longer operating separately like before. The ten energy cores have completely turned into one core.

And this core was more powerful than the ten cores.

"I hope you'll still be stubborn in a few days."

The blood-robed old ghost waved his hand. The blood river submerged Song Shi, continuously depleting his strength and eroding his Spirit. He wanted to weaken Song Shi sufficiently so that it would be easier to possess him.

No matter how deep Song Shi's foundation was, without the replenishment of external forces, his condition had no choice but to worsen.

Three days later, Song Shi's Essence Energy was completely depleted. Unable to stop the power of the blood river, his entire body was invaded by the Unholy power of the blood river.

However, the blood-robed old ghost did not turn him into flesh and blood. After all, Song Shi's body was the target of his possession. It was just that the evil aura had polluted his essence, Qi, and Spirit which was slowly transforming him.

Seeing that Song Shi could not resist the evil aura, the blood-robed old ghost walked out with small sabers in his hand.

These sabers were blood-red in color. The handles of the sabers were shaped like the heads of venomous snakes. They opened their mouths, revealing their venomous fangs, as if they were about to devour someone.

"It's about time to possess him!"

He looked at Song Shi's feeble state with satisfaction. With a flick of his fingers, eighteen blood sabers shot out, successfully stabbing into Song Shi's four limbs, abdomen, and acupuncture points.

The blood-robed old ghost formed an incantation gesture, and the snake mouth on the hilt formed a devouring force. It absorbed the cold blood light in the surrounding blood river and injected it into Song Shi's body. Immediately, blood-colored snakes ran amok in Song Shi's body.

"Hmph!"

Song Shi, who was suppressed, revealed an afflicted expression. He felt as if poisonous snakes were biting his body. Even his soul was being torn apart by the blood snakes.

"How is it? How did the Soul Devouring by Ten Thousand Snakes taste?"

The blood-robed old ghost asked with a smile, "When your soul is about to collapse, I will swallow it in one bite. Possession of your body will then be as easy as eating and drinking."

"Stop dreaming foolishly!"

Song Shi sneered. The more the blood-robed old ghost said, the more he wanted to kill him.

"Sure enough, the toughest part of your body is your mouth."

The blood-robed old ghost shook his head. "Forget it. I'll take it that you've been tortured until your brain has become abnormal."

He formed seals with both hands. Amidst hissing sounds, dense blood snakes emerged and crazily bit Song Shi.

"Great Yin Concentration!"

Song Shi gritted his teeth. He could only frantically visualize the Yin and condense his Spirit to last as long as possible.

Ads by Pubfuture

He could feel that while the blood snakes were devouring his soul, although his total Spirit was decreasing, the quality of his Spirit was constantly increasing.

"Hmph, you're quite capable. I'm also interested in your Spirit cultivation method!"

Seeing that Song Shi could actually maintain his Spirit under the bite of ten thousand snakes and not collapse, the blood-robed old ghost became even more afraid and determined to possess this person.

"I wonder if the senior Blood-Robes is here. Lu Youyou of the Heavenly Ghost Sect greets you."

A very ethereal and distant girl's voice came in, making the old ghost in blood-robes frown. "What is this girl doing here?"

During this period of time after his resurrection, he had specially investigated the current situation in the cultivation world of Great Qian. He had naturally paid attention to such a genius girl who was also a descendant of a great cultivator.

"Brother Blood Robes should be here. I heard from some people that he captured a Foundation Establishment cultivator and even caught a pig to transfer his soul."

Another aged voice sounded, shocking Song Shi who was already in a daze.

If the girl's voice just now was only a little familiar, this old man's voice was one that had left a deep impression on him.

After all, this was the person who had killed him before, and it was the killing of his soul too.

...

"Old Man Nightmare!"

Song Shi was surprised and regained some clarity. He also recognized the girl's voice outside. It was the girl who had deliberately smashed the hornet's nest in the sky ship to mock him.

"Nightmare, you and I have never interacted with each other. The Heavenly Ghost Sect doesn't have any relationship with my Blood Gate. Why are you looking for me?"

The blood-robed old ghost turned his head and looked outside coldly. The blood light in front of him squirmed, and the scene outside appeared.

A black-clothed girl was floating on the surface of the river. Her face was delicate and perfect with a cold aura. She was like a rakshasa from hell or an evil dark elf.

Beside her was an old man in linen clothes who looked like a fisherman. He was Old Man Nightmare, who had once fished for souls from the Demon Slayers.

"Senior Blood Robes, my father thinks that you're not bad. He hopes to invite you to join the sect."

Lu Youyou directly opened her mouth to explain. She didn't look too polite, but in fact, with her status and Talent, she really didn't need to give the old ghost any respect.

"I'm not free!"

The old ghost snorted, "I've always been a loner. I'm not interested in joining your Heavenly Ghost Sect."

"Brother Blood Robes don't be in a hurry to reject. The Sect Master invited you because he wanted to give you a chance to form your Nascent Soul. Furthermore, your cave abode is right in front of the guard dogs of Great Qian. If we weren't involved with them currently, do you think you could still do whatever you want here?"

...

138 You're Finally Here

The blood-robed old ghost's expression changed. He had originally planned to secretly put on a show to trick others into jumping into the river and use the blood essence of living beings to refine Numinous treasures, taking advantage of the chaos to rise.

Now that someone had found out about him, it was probably impossible to do as he wish in such chaotic times.

He knew how these guys were. At this point, their attitude towards him was already very obvious.

"Hmph, blood-robed old ghost, your Blood Gate has long been destroyed. Now that the chaotic world has arrived, if you don't join a faction, do you really think you can rely on yourself to form your Nascent Soul?"

Before the blood-robed old ghost could reply, Lu Youyou had an impatient expression, "My father has already given you enough face by making us invite you to our sect. I don't believe that a scheming person like you don't understand this."

"Little girl, you're really sharp-tongued. If not for the fact that your father is a Nascent Soul, how would a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator dare to act like this in front of me? Hmph!"

The old ghost sized up Lu Youyou sinisterly. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"You?"

Lu Youyou's gaze was mocking. "Even if my dad is not my dad, I'm still not afraid of you!"

She had a proud expression. Her Nine Nether Divine Body was a top-notch Physique in this world. Its foundation was solid and its foundation was deep. Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, she was not afraid of the Golden Core realm cultivators at all.

"Miss, there's no need to be angry with him. Let's get down to business."

Old Man Nightmare coughed and stopped Lu Youyou from provoking the blood-robed old ghost.

In his opinion, although the Miss was talented and had a powerful Physique like the Nine Nether Divine Body, she was still too young. It would be quite troublesome if she was really targeted by an old fellow like the blood-robed old ghost.

"You do the talking then."

Lu Youyou crossed her arms and was too lazy to speak again.

"Brother Blood Robes, you don't have many chances. Please cherish them."

Old Man Nightmare said meaningfully, "This world is no longer the same as back then. In this chaotic world, even if you recover your Golden Core cultivation, your life will still be in danger at any time."

"Hmph, I know, but I'm not free now. Why don't you wait for me for two days or else just leave without me?"

"Grandpa Nightmare, look, this person really doesn't know what's good for him!"

Lu Youyou said arrogantly.

"Miss, don't be anxious. We don't have anything to do anyway. Let's wait for him for two days then bring him back to the sect. The sect master will definitely praise you for your strength."

Nightmare was very familiar with Lu Youyou's personality. With just one sentence, her impatience dissipated and she was willing to wait.

"Alright, I really don't know why Father insists on recruiting this old ghost."

Lu Youyou mumbled.

"Blood-Robed old ghost was just a step away from forming his Nascent Soul back then. If not for Sage Golden Light's sneak attack, he might have been able to become a Nascent Soul and would have rebuilt the Blood Refinement Sect."

Old Man Nightmare explained, "Furthermore, the Blood Transformation Technique that this person cultivates is comparable to our Heavenly Ghost Sect's Ghost Spirit Scripture. In particular, he has inherited the core inheritance of the Blood Refinement Sect, the Blood Rebirth Technique. This is a great divine power that even the sect master is quite envious of."

"Oh, since he's so powerful, why would he take five hundred years to recover from a sneak attack? I think he's just so-so."

Lu Youyou's retort made Old Man Nightmare smile bitterly. "Miss, this person has run amok for hundreds of years before something like this happened. How can he not be capable?"

"Alright, I know. Wait here. I'll take a look around Silken City."

Lu Youyou thought highly of herself. Even if the Blood-Robed old ghost was considered a famous figure, he was still not taken seriously by her.

With a tap of her foot, she stepped into the air and disappeared into the distance.

Old Man Nightmare could only shake his head helplessly. This young lady had been spoiled rotten. She was a little unruly and willful and her personality was too arrogant.

He reminded her, "Miss, be careful. Not only are there experts from Great Qian in the city, but there are also demons. It's already a mess."

"Tsk, at most, we'll encounter a Golden Core cultivator. Do you think those Nascent Soul old monsters will come out and bully a junior like me?"

Lu Youyou didn't care and had already appeared at the city gate.

"Sect Master has protected Miss too well. I hope she doesn't encounter any big trouble."

Old Man Nightmare looked worried.

He did not follow her anymore. This time, the sect master had already ordered him not to follow Young Miss all the time. He had to give Young Miss more opportunities to train.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the cave abode of the Blood-Robed old ghost. He revealed fear. "This old ghost was supposedly killed by the power of the entire Vajra Sect back then, but he didn't die. His vitality is really tenacious. Moreover, his lifespan"

"It has already far exceeded the lifespan limit of a Golden Core. Dao Blood secret techniques are indeed tenacious! Those who have reached the end of their lifespan in my sect can only continue to live on the path by becoming a ghostly cultivator."

At the thought of this, a gray light flashed in his eyes. "Since this old ghost refuses to see guests. let me use my Nightmare Demon Technique to spy on what he's doing. I hope I can see through the Dao Blood secret technique by doing this. If he betrays me in the future, then I'll be prepared on how to act."

With this thought in mind, wisps of gray airflow appeared under his feet and fused into the void.

His Nightmare Demon Technique was a very good Spirit technique. He could easily control the hearts of people and it was also very good at scouting the surroundings.

The Blood-Robed old ghost's cave abode's Array Formation did not completely block his probing. Old Man Nightmare's thoughts invaded bit by bit and finally arrived inside.

He discovered that a young man was trapped by the blood river. He was naked and his body was filled with blood-colored knives. The Blood-Robed old ghost was adjusting the Array Formation.

This scene stunned Old Nightmare. He immediately recognized what he was doing.

Possession!

The Blood-Robed old ghost suddenly turned around and sneered, "You haven't mastered the Nightmare Demon Technique, so don't waste time!"

Two rays of blood-red light shot out from his eyes, shattering the wisps of gray fog opposite him. Then, he formed a seal and the Array Formation Power became stronger, completely sealing the surroundings.

"This old ghost actually discovered me!"

Old Man Nightmare, who was outside, became even more afraid.

The Blood-Robed old ghost turned to look at Song Shi and smiled unholy. "After taking your body, I'll sleep with that Nine Nether Divine Body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-colored soul rushed out from the top of his head and entered Song Shi's mind like a poisonous snake.

At this moment, Song Shi's mental strength was severely exhausted, and his soul seemed very weak. When the Blood-Robed old ghost's soul entered, boundless blood clouds rolled, stirring up his mental world.

...

As his mental world swayed. The Blood-Robed old ghost was like a giant, laughing arrogantly.

He sized up Song Shi's Spiritual Space a few times and saw a star floating above Song Shi's head. It looked very illusory.

"Kid, is this the phenomenon that you cultivated with your spiritual cultivation technique? It looks pretty good."

The Blood-Robed old ghost laughed sinisterly. A blood-colored hand grabbed out and crushed the star with a crack.

Song Shi's soul immediately became even weaker. He looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost calmly. "You're finally here. It's time to end this!"

"I suppose living like this is a fate worse than death. Do you want to die early so badly?"

The Blood-Robed old ghost misunderstood Song Shi's meaning and strode over, "Then I shall fulfill your wish!"

In the next moment, he opened his mouth and expanded it by a hundred times at an exaggerated speed. The huge blood-colored mouth directly swallowed Song Shi.

"Great Yin Transformation!"

Although Song Shi wanted to die early, he also did not want to sit still to wait for death. When he was swallowed, his entire body turned into a lunar star and filled the Blood-Robed old ghost's mouth, making him look like a strange snake that had eaten too much.

...

139 Eight Lifetimes of Bad Luck

"You can struggle even now? I have to say, your willpower is quite tenacious!"

The Blood-Robed old ghost squeezed out a sentence from its mouth. His entire body turned into a blood snake and corrosive power appeared in its mouth as it began to digest Song Shi.

At the same time, the blood saber on Song Shi's body shone. Blood-colored snakes from the sabers entered his sea of consciousness and fused into the blood snake formed by the Blood-Robed old ghost. Soon, its body soon exceeded a thousand feet.

The entire scene looked like a giant python swallowing a star!

With the help of external forces, the Blood-Robed old ghost's condition became better and better. As for Song Shi, he was already weak, so he basically had no strength to resist.

The star he transformed into kept shrinking, and finally, cracks appeared. The last bit of resistance collapsed, and his soul was swallowed by the blood snake.

The blood snake's eyes lit up, it chuckled and said, "Next, I will digest the soul and inherit your memories. Then I will shoot your incomplete True Spirit into the wild boar's body."

"You've been possessed and died. Spirit100!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 50 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

"Ding Congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the motivation conditions. If you kill the target within the specified time, you will be rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

Amidst the system notification, three seconds later, Song Shi's soul recovered.

The Blood-Robed old ghost suddenly felt that something was amiss. This was because Song Shi's memories did not appear after absorbing his soul and possessing him.

Then, he felt that the soul he had swallowed suddenly disappeared.

In front of him, a star rose slowly. In the brilliant white light, Song Shi appeared.

The spiritual world that was originally collapsing quickly stabilized under this light. The blood-colored light that filled the surroundings was continuously forced back.

The Blood-Robed old ghost widened his eyes, "You!"

He could sense that Song Shi's soul had completely recovered. Furthermore, it was far stronger than when he first possessed it. Currently he was not much weaker than him.

He really could not figure out how Song Shi did it. He could only attribute it to some special method that allowed him to recover in an instant.

"This is troublesome. When conducting possession, I can only advance forward and not retreat. I hope this is his last resort."

The Blood-Robed old ghost narrowed his eyes. When cultivators possessed bodies, they could not stop once it started. Moreover, one body could not contain two souls and they could only fight until one's death.

Since the other party had suddenly recovered, he would have to force his way through. He couldn't return to his previous body because the essence of that body had already been sucked away when he left.

"Swallow me again!"

Song Shi smiled as he looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost with an ugly expression. Restoration made him feel very good, especially since it made the Blood-Robed old ghost unhappy. He felt good!

"I must see what method you used to achieve this!"

The Blood-Robed old ghost formed a seal and his throat suddenly enlarged exaggeratedly, as if a tumor had grown. A ball of Spirit energy was nurtured and was suddenly released as he opened his mouth.

Roar!

"Blood God's Roar!"

A circle of Spiritual Energy was released, and ripples appeared in the Spiritual Space, forming an obvious Spiritual Storm.

Song Shi was shocked. This person actually knew Spiritual Attacks. He didn't know anything and could only foolishly take the attacks head-on.

The storm instantly dawned upon Song Shi. Song Shi's entire body was in a daze from the explosion. His soul twisted violently, and almost dissipated.

"So powerful!"

Song Shi finally understood why this guy was so famous 500 years ago. He really had many tricks up his sleeve.

Array Formations, weapon refinement, Spiritual Secret Skills he had already seen many of them.

His countermeasure was to transform into a star and condense his own soul.

A blood claw rapidly enlarged in front of him, piercing through his head and grabbing onto his soul.

Song Shi subconsciously slapped back and used the Dragon Subduing Palm. With a bang, his body retreated from the recoil and broke free from the Blood-Robed old ghost.

"I'm still not that powerful."

Song Shi felt regretful. After all, the Dragon Subduing Palm was not a Spirit secret skill and could not unleash the power of the soul.

"Kid, you're still too inexperienced to fight me!"

Blood-Robed old ghost had a domineering expression as his soul released all sorts of attacks.

Song Shi became a live target and could only be passively beaten. The disadvantage between both became greater and greater.

Half a day later, he was killed by the Blood-Robed old ghost and swallowed again.

After killing Song Shi again, the Blood-Robed old ghost clapped his hands. "Young man, you're so young yet want to fight with me? Let's see if you can recover this time."

As he grunted, his soul seemed to be much weaker. He had yet to devour Song Shi's soul to replenish his energy.

A Lunar Star rose slowly.

"What the hell!"

The Blood-Robed old ghost exclaimed. He could no longer maintain his composure and his face twisted into a horrified expression.

This kid's soul had actually recovered again!

Blood-Robed old ghost was shocked and bewildered. His thoughts quickly swept around, hoping to discover some clues and find a way to deal with him.

"If you have the Blood Rebirth Secret Technique, can't I have my own Rebirth Secret Technique too?"

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Shi stood in the Lunar Star, emitting a dazzling light. His Aura right now was already comparable to the Blood-Robed old ghost.

"Hmph, it's impossible for you to have a Blood Rebirth Secret Technique. Even if you do, it's not something that someone of your level can control. I think you have a special Substitution Talisman that has deceived me twice. I don't believe you can do it a third time!"

...

Blood-Robed old ghost gritted his teeth and focused on continuing to attack Song Shi's soul.

With his Spiritual Level combat experience and his peak Restoration state, Song Shi had a much easier time dealing with them this time.

After a round of fighting, Song Shi still died under the Blood-Robed old ghost's desperate attacks.

After the third resurrection, the Blood-Robed old ghost fell silent for a moment, his mentality clearly collapsing.

He finally understood why Song Shi was not afraid at all. He stared at Song Shi and roared, "It's unfair. Why do you have a treasure that can protect your soul at such a young age? You didn't even give me a chance to possess you."

"Too bad. I am just that strong. If you are not convinced, you can continue to kill me."

Song Shi smiled. From this moment on, he gradually took the initiative to attack.

"What the #@*%"

Blood-Robed old ghost began to curse. He could tell that he was no longer Song Shi's match. As long as the other party keeps recovering, they would have to battle yet another round which would exhaust his soul to the point of his defeat.

"Don't curse. Adults have to be responsible for their own actions. Since you've decided to possess me, you have to be prepared to fail."

Song Shi smiled.

...

"I must have been cursed to eight lifetimes of bad luck that I chose to possess you."

The Blood-Robed old ghost cursed.

"Then let's end it."

Song Shi's gaze was cold as he transformed into a huge star and smashed over.

RUMBLE!

The situation reversed. The Blood-Robed old ghost began to be suppressed by Song Shi and finally was crushed.

"I can't accept this!"

Blood-Robed old ghost's expression was filled with unwillingness as he faced defeat.

Even after the sneak attack of the entire Vajra Sect, he still managed to survive. But now, he was actually defeated by a junior and his soul was about to be lost forever too.

If he was outside, he could still have survived with the Dao Blood secret technique, but here.

Because he was still in a soul state and had yet to reach the stage where he could split his soul between both worlds. He had no chance!

In the midst of his despair, Song Shi deliberately died once before reviving to peak performance, completely shattering the last trace of hope in his heart.

140 Those Who Are Not of Our Race Will Be Different From Us

Thank you readers!

This person had a treasure to protect his soul. He could not possess him at all. He would only die.

After resurrecting, Song Shi was full of energy.

Boom!

His mental world shook. Amidst his screams, Song Shi shattered the Blood-Robed old ghost into wisps of blood-colored soul.

!!

The Lunar Star that he had transformed into shone brightly. The soul of the Blood-Robed old ghost was devoured, and the blood color in his Spiritual world disappeared. The night sky was restored and shone with a strong Spiritual light which looked like moonlight.

One thousand three hundred years ago, the Blood-Robed old ghost was born into an ordinary mortal farming family. He was originally destined to inherit his family business in his life and become an ordinary farmer, but he encountered a cultivator of the Blood Refinement Sect in a rainstorm.

This cultivator's sect had already been destroyed by Great Qian. As this cultivator had fled with his sect's legacy, he had been chased by the Demon Slayers Division day and night and was already severely injured.

Knowing that he would not live for long and unwilling to let Great Qian take advantage of him, this cultivator gave his inheritance to the Blood-Robed old ghost who had an ordinary identity and ordinary aptitude.

After teaching the Blood-Robed old ghost the Beginner Immortal Cultivation Technique, this person died in the pursuit by the Demon Slayers. From then on, the Blood-Robed old ghost stepped into the cultivation world. However, as his Talent was too poor, he had no choice but to kill people often in order to cultivate the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique. Just like that, a demon of the generation was nurtured.

Due to the fact that when cultivating the Blood Transformation Technique, if he wanted to increase his cultivation speed, he needed to devour the blood of others. Moreover, the effect would be best when a strong person was chosen. The Blood-Robed old ghost who was limited by his limited Talent often hunted people with strong blood Qi in order to increase his cultivation speed quickly.

Unsurprisingly, his actions had provoked a sect like Vajra Sect that had a large number of cultivators that cultivated body refinement.

His evil actions bred Karma and unfortunately he was targeted by the huge Vajra Sect who laid traps to kill him once and for all.

The Blood-Robed old ghost had grown rapidly in power during his massacre. In that era before the Decay of Great Qian, Nascent Soul cultivators basically did not show themselves, as such an unscrupulous person like him was able to dominate Great Qian with his evil ways.

However, just as he was about to form his Nascent Soul, he encountered a calamity and was ambushed by the entire Vajra Sect that was out to kill him.

Fortunately, the Blood-Robed old ghost had secretly left behind a wisp of his soul with his blood Dao secret skill. After 500 years of Restoration, he came back to life.

"Impressive. He can revive after dying. This person is indeed capable."

Song Shi muttered. After viewing his memories, he really admired the Blood-Robed old ghost.

His was a story of a mortal cultivator rising up against all odds. It was quite inspirational.

Of course, the only downside was that this person had risen at the cost of the lives of many others. If he offended too many people, karma would definitely come for him. In the end, he would still die.

From the other party's memories, he also saw Hei Duzi.

Back then, when Hei Duzi was drowned in the river, he was saved by the newly awakened Blood-Robed old ghost!

However, at that time, the Blood-Robed old ghost had just woken up and did not appear to show his face. He only saved him as an 'investment' for the future and only planned to meet Hei Duzi again after recovering a portion of his strength. Therefore, Hei Duzi was not too sure about his real identity.

"So they were indeed related. It's not a coincidence."

Song Shi came to a realization. No wonder Hei Duzi did not remember this person in his memories. It was because he did not show his face to begin with.

He continued to browse. The Blood-Robed old ghost had too many memories. Song Shi spent a long time reading through the many grudges he had caused.

Opening his eyes, Song Shi sighed a little. This Blood-Robed old ghost was quite a character. It was just that he had encountered a cultivation cheat like him that he had ended his life. Otherwise, he would have had a chance to improve even further.

Stepping out of the Blood River, he used the spell he had obtained from his memory to control the Blood River that had originally trapped him. The latter immediately became very obedient and circled around him nimbly.

"These Blood River Dharma treasures are already sentient and can be connected to a person's bloodline. They can fuse together at any time and transform into a blood light to avoid all kinds of dangers."

Song Shi recalled the function of the Dharma treasures and sighed, "It's just too bloody. Moreover it was refined at the cost of the blood essence of thousands of living beings."

"In my hands, it can only be used to kill unscrupulous enemies."

Thinking of Old Man Nightmare outside, his eyes darted around and his hands formed a seal.

On the other side, various things flew from the Blood-Robed old ghost's body which he had kept. Then, a fireball landed on the body and it turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the wild boar in the Array Formation and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"You really know how to play."

Song Shi formed an incantation gesture, and the blood-colored belt shone brightly. A blood-colored snake flew out and swallowed the wild boar.

Not long after, the wild boar's body withered, turning into a skeleton that was burned to ashes by him.

After cleaning up, he opened the cave abode and turned into a blood light that landed outside.

"Congratulations on obtaining a young body, Brother Blood Robes."

Old Man Nightmare's eyes moved as he greeted with a smile.

In his opinion, Song Shi had already been possessed and was the Blood-Robed old ghost himself.

Song Shi pretended to be the Blood-Robed old ghost and said coldly, "Let's go. There's nothing else to stay here for."

"Brother Blood Robes, you're so free and easy. How can you just abandon a Golden Core cave abode like that?"

Old Man Nightmare complimented and turned to look at Silken City, "Please wait a moment. I'll inform Miss."

As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman and contacted Lu Youyou.

However, even after a while, no one came over.

Song Shi was impatient. "If you don't come, I'll leave!"

"Young Miss might be in trouble. Brother Blood Robes, why don't you come with me? We're going to the sect anyway. It's fine to delay for a while."

Old Man Nightmare looked at the jade talisman and frowned slightly.

"There's so much to do. Let's go!"

Song Shi wanted to sneak into the demonic sect and see if he could find the demonic seed that Lu Yue had scammed him with.

This way, he could create a few more demon pills as medicinal pill that were most suitable for himself.

"Thank you for your help!"

Old Man Nightmare hurriedly flew towards Silken City. The blood-colored belt on Song Shi's waist shone as he followed behind.

The former had a Golden Core cultivation level and could travel in the air without the help of Dharma artifacts and Dharma treasures. Song Shi relied on the Blood-Robed old ghost's Dharma treasure, the Blood River, to travel in the air.

...

This Dharma treasure could transform into various forms and do whatever he wanted. Now that it was helping him fly, it looked quite impressive.

The two of them flew in the air and attracted the attention of many cultivators. There were definitely cultivators from Great Qian but for some reason, no cultivators attacked them.

Song Shi could sense that the situation had changed. Previously, they had been fighting intensely.

"Brother Blood Robes might not know yet, but our Demon Cult sects have already temporarily stopped fighting with the Silken City officials."

Seeing Song Shi's confusion, Old Man Nightmare took the initiative to explain.

"Why?"

Song Shi was surprised. "Didn't you want to beat them to death previously?"

"The demons have secretly interfered with our battles. We can't let them reap the benefits."

Old Man Nightmare sneered, "You know that as humans, we can fight any war we want, since we are qualified to rule Great Qian. But the demons are not. After all, we are not of the same race. If they succeed, we humans will be food in the future."

"Oh, then it'll be peaceful for a while."

Song Shi was enlightened. He could not help but think of Granny Cat, whom he had met in the city.
