What If I Can't Die? #Chapter 161 - 161 Gathering of All Parties - Read What If I Can't Die? Chapter 161 - 161 Gathering of All Parties Online - All Page - Novel Usb

"What am I afraid of now?"

Thank you readers!

Song Shi had an excited expression: "Other than some pain, I have no reservations about courting death anymore!" .

For the remaining three days, Song Shi focused on cultivating the Thousand Transformations Technique.

There were many Nascent Soul cultivators in this operation. He had to finish cultivating this disguise spell as soon as possible. What if someone stronger saw through his disguise?

However, three days was still a little short. In the end, he did not break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. However, he had still cultivated the Bone Transformation Realm to perfection.

"All elders and inner disciples, get ready to move."

Lu Jiu's voice spread from the top floor. Then, the Supreme Kraken Ship shook violently and this behemoth began to take off.

Song Shi stopped cultivating and pushed the door open.

"Is there any food on the boat? Bring some over."

He gave an order to Bai Xiaoqin. He had not eaten for a long time. Before courting death, he had to eat and drink his fill. He did not want to be a hungry ghost in the three seconds after he dies.

"Elder, there's food. I'll get it for you."

Bai Xiaoqin nodded.

"Take the token."

Song Shi threw the identity token to Bai Xiaoqin.

The latter happily went to look for the elder of logistics. After following Song Shi for more than half a month, she could finally do something for him.

Soon, Bai Xiaoqin brought back a few plates of fruits and a pot of wine.

"No meat?"

Song Shi felt regretful.

"There's nothing suitable for Elder." Bai Xiaoqin shook her head.

"Forget it, I'll just fill my stomach."

Song Shi knew that the meat that was suitable for him needed to be at the level of a Demon beast. It was normal for there to be none in this desolate mountain range.

If he really wanted to eat it, he would have to rely on himself.

He picked up a grape. After biting it, the juice stimulated his taste buds. It was sour and sweet.

"Tastes good."

Song Shi nodded and ate some fruits. After finishing the wine, he realized that the Supreme Kraken Ship was slowing to a stop.

He walked out and saw that the Supreme Kraken Ship was a thousand meters in the sky. There were similar large-scale flying Dharma treasures floating around it.

A red wooden coffin, a black palace, a seven-colored centipede, a white sword, a yellow ancient book, a golden abacus, a bronze compass, a bronze chariot… were all gathered together.

Every one of them was a war Dharma treasure. They were huge and were at least a hundred meters tall. Their aura was all extremely oppressive and shook the Void, causing the surrounding air to roll back and the miasma that filled the air to dissipate.

However, on the ground, the gray miasmic air was as thick as the sea. It was not blown away, revealing its true appearance. n0𝗏ℯ𝑙𝐔𝕊𝒷.𝒸0𝔪

Song Shi did not look at the ground. Instead, he observed in surprise. Many of these war Dharma treasures were like the Supreme Kraken Ship he was on. They had powerful attack Ability, and every one of them was more powerful than the aircraft carriers he knew in his previous life.

Perhaps the range of the firearms on the aircraft carrier would be stronger than these war Dharma treasures, but it was impossible for them to fly so high.

"Elder, what a spectacular sight"

Bai Xiaoqin was dumbfounded. She had been a mortal in the past and had never left Silken City. She had never seen such a spectacular scene.

"It's rare indeed."

Song Shi nodded.

Even with the Blood-Robed old ghost's memories, he had never seen so many large factions activate their war Dharma treasures at the same time.

In the past, when Great Qian was still strong, the various large factions did not even have the chance to split such a cave abode. Usually, it would be dominated by the officials of Great Qian and the royal family.

He focused on a few war Dharma treasures.

Not far away, the red wooden coffins were divided into small coffin groups. They looked rather strange. The words 'Heavenly Corpse' were carved on the head of the coffins. They were the war Dharma treasures of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Bai Xiaoqin was a little afraid. She muttered softly, "Seeing a coffin makes you rich, seeing a coffin makes you rich["Seeing a coffin makes you rich" is part of an ancient Chinese saying which had the intention to dispel bad luck for good fortune in the near future, people will recite this saying when encountering something unlucky.]."

Song Shi could not help but laugh. "I didn't expect you to be so superstitious."

"I was taught this at home. My father was very wary of these things, but it's a pity that disasters caused by blood stained on one's hands are still inevitable."

Bai Xiaoqin sighed. Seeing that Song Shi was very approachable, she sized up the large coffin in the distance. "This sect is so strange, they actually brought a coffin with them to go out."

"After all they are a bunch of zombies. The coffin is their home. What else would they bring if not a coffin?"

Song Shi pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to the black palace.

In fact, this was a group of palaces belonging to the Sky Demon Cult. It looked like a palace, but its aura was not as glorious and majestic as an ordinary palace. Instead, it looked rather cold and gave off a creepy feeling.

"The Sky Demon Cult fellows are quite pretentious, they actually used a palace as their mean of transportation."

Song Shi took another look. The Second Master Lu he killed was from Sky Demon Cult. Someone would probably come to take revenge on him soon.

Looking at the last top faction from the Demonic cultivation path, Song Shi was surprised. The seven-colored centipede was actually a living creature. It was more than a hundred meters long and resembled a long dragon.

There were not many people on it. There were colorful flags with the words "Heavenly Poison" written on them on the centipede.

"What a huge centipede. It must be very painful to be stung by it."

Bai Xiaoqin was a little afraid. Among the factions flying in the air, this was the most ferocious and terrifying Dharma War treasure.

"There's no need for it to even sting people. A breath of it's poisonous gas will melt them already."

Song Shi teased. He felt that Bai Xiaoqin was as curious as if he was when he had just come into contact with the cultivation world.

"I… I'm so weak. I won't be sent to fight, right?"

Bai Xiaoqin pursed her lips and held the umbrella in her hand tightly. She said uneasily, "Everyone is so powerful. My soul might just dissipate if I take in their aura."

"I won't let a small fry like suffer."

Song Shi shook his head, "I don't think these large-scale flying Dharma treasures can enter the cave abode. You will definitely be waiting on the ship."

War Dharma treasures were huge and expensive to build. This was also to increase the power of it. Typically, they would not be able to change their size at will like ordinary Dharma treasures could.

Other than living creatures like The seven-colored centipede, objects like the Supreme Kraken Ship definitely could not enter the cave abode.

Suddenly, the Supreme Kraken Ship shook slightly and stopped completely, floating quietly in the sky.

At this moment, the Black Palace, Corpse Coffin, The Seven-Colored Centipede, and the Supreme Kraken Ship that they were on were clearly on the same side. As they were all huddled close together and were competing with the other paths.

Opposite them, a huge white sword that was more than one thousand feet long radiated a sharp aura, as if it wanted to cut through the world. It came from the Great Qian's official Demon-Slayers Department, which was in charge of the punishments in the cultivation world.

Song Shi saw two familiar faces on it. They were a female swords-woman with an ethereal aura and Chen Ming from the Demon Slayers Division.

He was slightly stunned. He was not surprised that Chen Yiling had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm. After all, she was a genius.

He was a little surprised that Chen Ming was also at the Foundation Establishment realm.

The first time he saw this person, he was only at the Postnatal realm. The second time, he was at the Connate realm. Now that he was at the Foundation Establishment realm, his speed was a little fast.

Thinking of the other party's strangeness, Song Shi looked at the Demon Palace thoughtfully.

Since he had already left this department and was not interested in their affairs anymore, he began to observe the yellow ancient book beside him.

This was the leader of the orthodox cultivation pathway sects, Qianzheng Academy, which belonged to the official organization of Great Qian. They have influence over all the scholars in Great Qian.

Both of them were official organizations. One was a scholarly in nature while the other focused on martial combat. It could be seen that Great Qian valued this both aspects.

The remaining third faction was the largest and more powerful one. Song Shi focused his gaze on the bronze compass.

This thing came from the rather mysterious Heaven Secret Office organization.

"They are actually involved in this too. Looks like this cave abode is very extraordinary."

Song Shi was deep in thought.

The Heaven Secret Office was very powerful in terms of intelligence, Array Formation, and deduction. They specialized in selling information for a living and were a faction that could be considered to be well-received among both the righteous and demonic factions.

As for the golden abacus, it came from a large faction that specialized in business. However, this faction was formed by many business organizations, including the Myriad Treasures Store, Hundred Herb Square, and other trading companies, medicine shops, and more.

Song Shi's gaze landed on the Bronze Chariot and he muttered, "That's the Ye family, a large cultivation clan, they brought some powerful rogue cultivators with them too… There are so many factions here. It's getting really lively here."

For a moment, he was dazzled. He swept his gaze around and realized that there was still a faction that had not appeared.

Thank you readers!

Demons!

Just as he was thinking this, the low roars of beasts, birds, and other creatures shook the Void.

BOOM!

An air-piercing sound suddenly appeared in the clear sky. A huge bird that was completely silver and had feathers that were like metal and looked like blinks of lightning suddenly appeared.

!!

Thunderbird!

This bird was born with the ability to control the power of wind and lightning. Its speed was as fast as lightning and faster than the wind. It was one of the fastest demonic beasts alive.

His cultivation level was at the Golden Core Realm, and he was considered a Demon King!

"The demons of the Black Feather Ridge are here."

Someone beside Song Shi muttered.

Screech!

A loud and clear cry of an eagle tore through the air. Then, a gust of wind whistled as a huge black eagle descended from the sky.

Its feathers were pitch-black, and its eyes were as sharp as lightning as it glanced coldly at the various factions.

The aura of this black eagle was even more terrifying. After it landed, a wave of black energy squirmed out and turned into a man in black with a hooked nose.

"You humans sure are fast. Have the Sky Demon Valley, Green Hill and White Snake Cave arrived yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of birds tore through the air. Among them were sparrows, quails and eagle-type demon beasts.

Other than the leader of the black eagles who had reached the Demon Emperor Realm which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm, the other demon birds were all Golden Core Realm.

However, demonic beasts had strong physiques and demonic birds were very fast. Cultivators of the same level were often not their match, so their strength was not much inferior to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, which had three Nascent Souls cultivators.

"ROAR!"

The Void shook. On the ground, a huge ape with red fur and a ferocious aura jumped more than a thousand feet high and gathered with a group of beasts.

It was one thousand feet tall and had a shocking Aura. It looked ferocious and domineering with the aura of an emperor.

"Sky Demon Valley's Crimson Ape Emperor is here too. The competition is going to be too intense."

Some disciples sighed.

"That's right. Crimson Ape Emperor has the bloodline of a divine beast. His combat power is terrifying. I reckon we won't even be able to withstand a single slap from him."

Hearing the discussions in his ears, Song Shi was slightly shocked.

With the bloodline of a divine beast, it was equivalent to a genius like Lu Youyou. Moreover, it was already a demon emperor and ruled a hundred thousand miles of mountains.

"There are so many powerhouses. This cave abode is definitely not simple. Unfortunately, the Blood-Robed old ghost did not know much about this. I can only take it one step at a time."

Song Shi sighed. Currently, there were two demon emperors, excluding the others who have yet to appear.

He looked at the Crimson Ape Emperor with its astonishing aura and could not help but think of the Spirit Command Talisman. If he managed to control it, wouldn't this mean that he would have an additional Demon Emperor-level fighter in his arsenal?

"Green Hill and White Snake Cave didn't say they were coming, so there's no need to wait for them."

At this moment, a young girl flew out of the Sky Demon Cult's Black Palace. Her delicate voice was like a little girl's.

Song Shi's expression changed. He immediately stared at the girl and gritted his teeth.

The memory of being tortured by this woman was still fresh in his mind. He had never been tortured like that before.

"Hong Luo! It's this perverted old woman!"

Song Shi clenched his fists. He finally saw this woman again.

Back then, when he was captured by Jiu Yu to worship the evil god, all the bones in his body were broken by this woman, and his eyes were dug out. This was the first time he had tasted the feeling of living a life worse than death.

Last time, he was powerless to resist. This time…

"I'll let you taste my Ragnorak!"

Song Shi sneered in his heart. He stared at Hong Luo and immediately thought of various ways to take revenge.

Hong Luo sensed something and turned to look at Song Shi, puzzled.

"Why is this old ghost paying so much attention to me? Could it be that he knows that I'm investigating him?"

"It's a pity if they don't come. I had wanted to indulge in the service of those fox and snake women."

The Crimson Ape Emperor smiled evilly and turned to look at the Demon Slayers Department and Qianzheng Academy.

He said mockingly, "Why didn't you send an army to occupy the entire ruin this time?"

Not only him, but the other demonic beasts and demonic cultivators also had mocking expressions on their faces.

In the past, during the peak of Great Qian, they had monopolized most of the relics, cave abodes and other wealth in its territory.

At that time, the various sects were extremely angry about it but did not dare to say anything. This was because Great Qian was too powerful. Not only would they suppress the top experts of the various large sects, but they would also snatch their resources away.

This caused many factions to be unable to produce a Nascent Soul in a thousand years. Fortunately, the factions in Great Qian had weakened rapidly in the past few hundred years. The factions that had been suppressed for a long time immediately rebounded and the speed at which Nascent Souls were born from their own sects was much faster than before.

An ordinary old man with a normal aura and a long sword hanging on his waist walked out. "Red Ape, have you forgotten how Great Qian suppressed you back then? I remember that you were just an ape that came to worship and perform for us." n0𝗏𝗲𝑳𝐔𝑠𝒃.𝑐0𝓂

"You have a death wish. I'll kill you first before exploring the cave abode."

The red aura on the Crimson Ape Emperor's body soared and he was enraged on the spot. "The glory of Great Qian is already in the past. Today, I'll let you understand this fact completely!"

"That's enough!"

A cold voice exploded, causing the Crimson Ape King to stop.

"If you have the strength, attack the cave abode's barrier. Don't waste your energy here and delay everyone's actions."

The man who spoke walked out of the palace. He was dressed in white, a stark contrast to the black palace.

He walked in the air very slowly, but an even more powerful pressure was released. The world suddenly became much colder and snowflakes floated up out of blue.

After this person came out, the world fell silent. Song Shi saw that many people's expressions changed.

"Elder, who is he?"

Bai Xiaoqin asked softly.

"Sky Demon Cult's second-in-command. He has half the strength of a Soul Transformation cultivator."

At this moment, Lu Youyou actually walked over to explain to her. However, the gloating expression on her face did not look like she had any good intentions.

"Deputy Cult Master?"

Song Shi frowned and looked at the other party's side profile. He felt that he looked a little like a person he knew.

Soon, he thought of something and his pupils constricted.

"Looks like you recognize him. That's right. He's the father of the person you killed when you went out half a month ago. What do you think he will do to avenge his son?"

Lu Youyou asked teasingly.

"You all know?"

Song Shi frowned. He had done it rather discreetly back then, but in the end, it was still leaked.

"Hehe, even if I don't know the exact situation, I can guess some things."

Lu Youyou was disdainful and looked proud. "Don't underestimate other people's intelligence. They must have found out that it was you long ago but didn't pursue the matter. And that was only because you were part of the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Song Shi was enlightened. The Sky Demon Cult knew that he had killed Second Master Lu, but they had not come looking for him. They were indeed giving the Heavenly Ghost Sect face.

"Now you know the benefits of joining the Heavenly Ghost Sect. If you were outside, you would have been killed countless times."

Lu Youyou's expression was smug. She thought that if she intimidated Song Shi, he would be obedient in the future.

She did not know that Song Shi did not care at all when he heard this.

Now, he did not have any worries. He needed to have such an enemy. It was best if he died every time he went out.

He looked at Sky Demon Cult and muttered in his heart, "Two enemies, I have my eyes on you all!"

Thank you readers!

"Then let's start quickly. If we have less people, we'll get a larger portion each!"

With his hands behind his back, the Black Eagle Emperor flashed to the center in the distance.

Song Shi realized that the surrounding disciples were gradually getting excited. He knew what was about to happen and what he should do next.

If everything went well, these people would have a chance to obtain precious treasures. Of course, if they were not careful, they would also die here.

As for him, it was naturally best if he could die a few more times.

"Everyone, the Yao Moon Palace is also preparing to join in."

Just as the various factions rubbed their fists and prepared to break the first restriction of the cave abode, a gentle voice sounded.

"Yao Moon Palace?"

Many people turned their heads. Song Shi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the source of the voice.

A white disc appeared on the horizon. At first glance, one would think that the moon had risen from the horizon.

The moon in the distance was rapidly enlarging. Soon, a huge snow-white disc appeared. This thing's main body was a special Dharma treasure carved from white jade. There was a palace on it, with cold runes engraved on its surface. It looked very exquisite, just like a moon palace.

There were hundreds of figures standing on this white moon and most of them were women.

The clothes they wore were colorful. Most of the men were handsome, while the women were as beautiful as flowers and jade. There was no lack of devastatingly beautiful women here.

The person who spoke was a beautiful woman in purple palace clothes. Her face was delicate and flawless, and her skin was tender. She was about thirty years old and looked flirtatious. She looked like a well-rounded beautiful young woman.

Song Shi glanced at this woman. She was wearing a veil, so he could only imagine her beauty. Who knows, she might actually be an ugly freak.

He muttered in his heart and looked at the other disciples. He did not see Liu Ruxue and Big Smart.

"The two of them are at most in the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if they come, they can only watch from the outside and are not qualified to join in."

Song Shi thought to himself. He actually missed Liu Ruxue quite a bit. After all, she was his first woman.

As for Big Smart, because he had followed him for many years he naturally cared for him.

"I've long heard that Fairy Zi Yue of Yao Moon Palace has successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul. I didn't expect her to personally come today."

Sky Demon Cult's Deputy Cult Master Lu Bingxuan revealed a smile and seemed to welcome the Yao Moon Palace.

Other than the Sky Demon Cult who welcomed Yao Moon Palace, most of the people from the Demon-Slaying Department and Qianzheng Academy did not look too happy.

Regarding the Demons, they never had a close relationship with the entire human race and generally would not side with any human sects.

However, the Yao Moon Palace was different. If they came at this time, it meant that they were siding with the Demonic Cult.

Zi Yue, who should now be addressed as Perfected Lord Zi Yue, smiled at Lu Bingxuan and said, "Sect Master Bing Xuan, our Yao Moon Palace is here mainly to participate. Our main purpose is to train our disciples. We don't have any intention of snatching any treasures. When the time comes, we hope that you can protect us."

Now that Great Qian was in chaos, the rules have all been completely uprooted. It was basically impossible for them to continue living in seclusion like before. Furthermore, if they continued to be sealed off, without interacting with the outside world, the sect would fall too far behind.

It was precisely under such circumstances that the Yao Moon Palace decided to send someone over at the last minute.

However, since they rarely got involved in such matters in the past, they knew that they should take it one step at a time. This time, they would only let Perfected Lord Zi Yue, who had just broken through, lead the team and interact with the other sects first.

If everything goes well for them, they may think about investing more resources in participating in the outside world. But even if they do not end up becoming more involved with such affairs in the future, it would still be beneficial for them to interact with the various large sects now. Not only will they be able to obtain the latest piece of intelligence, if they encounter troubles in the future, they will be able to seek relevant help.

"No problem. Your Palace master and I are considered friends. We used to have a good relationship, so I will naturally take care of you."

Lu Bingxuan agreed readily, "Junior Sister Zi Yue, come with us directly." n0𝓋𝑒𝑙𝑈𝑠𝑏.𝓒0𝑀

"Thank you for your help!"

Perfected Lord Zi Yue smiled sweetly, it was breathtaking.

She controlled the brilliant Jade Disc to fly towards the Black Palace. As she took a step forward and her figure disappeared from the spot in a blur. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the Black Palace.

She landed beside Lu Bingxuan and nodded at the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Heavenly Poison Sect, and Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Suddenly, her gaze wavered at a certain spot for a moment.

"Why do I have a strange feeling when I see this person?"

Zi Yue was slightly puzzled.

After confirming that she had never seen this person before, she retracted her gaze immediately as if nothing had happened.

Only Song Shi noticed that this woman was looking at him.

There were so many people in the crowd, but she had taken another look at him. Could it be that she had discovered him?

Song Shi deliberately grinned at Zi Yue, but the woman had already stopped looking at him.

"Hmph, what are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, the flowers will soon wither[1."The flowers will soon wither" is a Chinese phrase to elaborate someone who has been waiting for a long time]!"

A chubby old man walked out from the huge white sword. He was wearing an ancient grayish-white robe, and his face was covered in grayish-white whiskers. His hair was loose, and he looked uncombed.

His eyes were deep, and there was no sharpness in them. He did not look like a swordsman, but it was exactly this sense of mediocrity that made people not dare to underestimate him.

Lu Bingxuan was slightly wary and spoke up for Perfected Lord Zi Yue, "Sword Emperor Gale, with one more major faction and one more Nascent Soul joining us, everyone can save more effort, right?"

These words directly went against what the Black Eagle Emperor had just said.

The latter harrumphed. "Now, it's time for us to decide what to do."

"The arrangement of manpower will naturally be handled by Heaven Secrets Office's Heavenly Star Perfected Lord. As he's the one with the highest level of Array Formation here, unless someone can prove to be better than him."

Report chapter Comments

On the golden abacus, an old man in an embroidered robe suggested.

Thank you readers!

"Heavenly Star Lord, why are you still sitting inside then? Come out and break the array!"

Sword Emperor Gale turned around and shouted. It was obvious that he was impatient.

"Brother Gale, don't be anxious. I have already started deducing how to do so when I approached this place!"

From the compass, a stooped old man in a Daoist robe walked out shakily. His eyes were as bright as stars and filled with wisdom. However, in the next moment, they became as deep and unpredictable as the night sky.

When Lu Bingxuan saw the old man, he became more polite and cupped his fists. "Heavenly Star Perfected Lord, what do you think of this cave abode?"

"Your guess is right. This cave abode does look like the ruins of a sect, but I found what looks like a door in the space. I suspect that the owner of this ruin was originally the gatekeeper."

Heavenly Star Perfected Lord's words were shocking and everyone present widened their eyes, feeling that his deduction was a little too exaggerated and far from reality.

To let a Soul Transformation cultivator or even an entire sect guard the door, what sect would have such powerful ability?

However, no one dared to question him directly. After all, he was the person with the highest level of Array Formation in Great Qian. He was the only one that had reached the legendary sixth-grade!

This was the limit of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Song Shi became excited. If this place was so awesome, wouldn't it be very dangerous? Then he could die a few more times here.

"Brother Star Lord, are you blind? If the space here is guarded by a sect led by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, doesn't that mean that the area deep within might be opened up by a Void Refinement Realm True Sage or by a pocket world?"

Lu Bingxuan's eyes were solemn. Soul Transformation was already the limit of this world. The existence above this realm would only exist in ancient times.

True Saints and Martial Saints were already Saints in the mortal world. They were legendary enough to create paths that would be passed down through the ages.

"Everyone, listen to my command later. We will only find out the truth after attacking."

Heavenly Star Perfected Lord smiled meaningfully with immense confidence.

He raised his withered finger and a starlight shot out from his hand and landed in the miasma.

Then, this bit of light actually bloomed with a radiance of ten thousand feet. The dense miasma below was directly pierced by the starlight, revealing a bare basin area.

This basin spanned nearly a hundred miles. It was pitch-black and looked like a huge black alms bowl.

Song Shi's pupils were constricted.

Even if they didn't look exactly the same, one could at least tell that they looked similar.

Was the alms bowl made to imitate this strange basin, or was there some special connection between both?

Just as he was thinking, a magical scene appeared.

Under the starlight, colorful patterns appeared in the sky above the basin. These patterns enveloped the surrounding space like a spider web, and there was more than one layer of it.

Between the patterns, dense runes flowed and rolled like water, transmitting different power fluctuations and information.

Under the dense arrays, there was a huge cave abode. There were some buildings and plants inside, but they could not be seen clearly. From the Will-O-Wisp emitted, it was definitely not something ordinary.

Such a spectacular scene made many people hold their breaths and widen their eyes.

"Oh my god, there are so many Array Formations in here!"

"If Immortal Heavenly Star Lord hadn't revealed it, anyone who touched it would have died!"

"No wonder there was the rumor previously about how several Nascent Souls couldn't break through the Array Formation Taboo Powers here even after attacking at the same time It's really not easy to break through."

Some of the more knowledgeable Gold Core Realm cultivators gasped.

As for the stronger Nascent Souls, they observed with solemn expressions.

"Impressive. This old man's methods are worlds apart from mine!"

Song Shi revealed a look of surprise.

This method was definitely a little abnormal.

The reason why the Array Formation was strange and unfathomable was because ordinary people could not understand or even see it.

This was because they could not see the range of the Array Formation and did not know anything about the Array Formation. Basically, as long as they entered the range of the Array Formation's attack, they would suffer losses and even lose their lives.

Now, this old man had directly forced out the main body of the Array Formation such that it could be seen with the naked eye. As long as he was careful, he would not be easily attacked by the Array Formation.

Most importantly, now that one could see the Array Formation with the naked eye, it would be much easier to crack it.

Everyone present who had attainments in Array Formations was observing intently, hoping to get some clues that will allow them to be faster when breaking the array later.

"Haha, Brother Heavenly Star Lord, your Star Finger is still so magical. With one point of your finger, the starry sky was so dazzling that the Array Formation will appear."

Sword Emperor Gale laughed out loud. It seemed like he had a good relationship with the Heavenly Star Perfected Lord.

However, the Heavenly Star Perfected Lord shook his head. "Everyone, you can only see the surface. In reality, there's a layer of power deep within the array formation that even I can't reveal. It's at the bottom of the basin."

"There's more?"

Lu Bingxuan stared at the densely packed Array Formations thoughtfully. "Could these Array Formations be covering the power core of this basin?"

"That's my current guess."

Heavenly Star Perfected Lord nodded. "Other than premium items like the power core, I can't think of anything else worthy of such a complicated Grade 6 Array Formation."

"In other words, we have to break through the outer Array Formation first before we can come into contact with the deepest part!"

Cultivators from the Ye Family looked greedily into the depths of the basin on the Bronze Chariot. "Since that's the case, why aren't we attacking? Let's get the outer treasure first!"

"From now on, every sect will be a unit to break the Array Formation here separately. I will lead the command."

Heavenly Star Perfected Lord stroked his beard and instructed, "As for how to break the Array Formation outside and distribute the treasures inside, that shall be dependent on each sect's own abilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, the starlight converged and the array patterns that were revealed quickly converged. Then, they were drowned by the miasma and obscured from sight.

"Hey, why can't we see it anymore?" n0𝒱𝐞𝓁𝔲𝓈𝚋.𝑐0𝐌

Someone cried out, before being punched by his own family, "Did you think maintaining this method doesn't consume any Nomological power?"

"Everyone should have memorized the general placement of the Array Formation already. Let's begin!"

He glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivators present and said with a smile. Then, he flicked his finger a few times and more than thirty light spots appeared.

These light spots were varying in brightness and were distributed in different locations. Each light spot had a range of dozens of acres under them. After breaking through, one could enter a certain location in the cave abode.

As long as one saw the general layout of the cave abode clearly just now, he could focus on choosing the location he wanted at this moment.

"I've already marked the key nodes. The stronger the light spot, the greater the consumption of power that will be needed when breaking it. However, the treasures corresponding to the location below will also be more precious. It depends on what you want to choose."

He walked towards a spot of light, "My Heaven Secret Office will take the lead to break through this node. As long as we break through all the nodes, the Array Formation outside will be destroyed."

Lu Bingxuan stared at the node with the brightest light. "All Foundation Establishment cultivators and above from the Sky Demon Cult, follow me to break this part of the array."

At the same time, the coffin Dharma treasures that had been silent previously moved forward suddenly. A jade coffin from inside flew up and smashed into the nearest node with a bang, causing it to distort violently.

"This part belongs to the Heavenly Corpse Sect!"

With a buzzing sound, the jade coffin opened from the inside and a pale-faced youth flew out.

Song Shi could not help but take another look. He did not expect the leader of the Heavenly Corpse Sect to look so young.

"He must have died young."

He suddenly had a strange thought.

RUMBLE!

The other sects also moved out at this moment.

The thirty six nodes that the Heavenly Star Perfected Lord pointed out were enough for the various factions present to split within themselves. In the blink of an eye, most of the factions were fighting to choose the locations they wanted to break through.

Naturally, the Heavenly Ghost Sect did not fall behind. Lu Jiu was already standing at a node. He turned around and said, "Similarly, Foundation Establishment cultivators, come over. Break the Array Formation at the periphery first."

The most important thing now was to preserve their strength. Naturally, they had to let the weaker but larger groups take action first.

If necessary, he could even activate the power of the Supreme Kraken Ship. However, this was his last resort. Under normal circumstances, he would not expend his strength that easily.

Song Shi flew over with the other elders and disciples. He formed a seal and condensed a fireball to follow the main group to bombard the Array Formation.

Hundreds of attacks landed and the miasma surrounding that light spot evaporated. Layers of ripples appeared on the Array Formation barrier.

The Array Formation blocked all the attacks, and the ripples looked like rocks were thrown into the water.

"Are you just trying to laze around by throwing fireballs?"

Thank you readers!

When Lu Youyou saw Song Shi's relaxed posture, she was furious.

"My fireball is ten times more powerful than your attack."

A new fireball slowly condensed on Song Shi's finger. The golden flames made the air twist non-stop with powerful fluctuations. He grinned and said, "If you don't believe me, do you want to try it?"

"Don't you dare!"

As soon as Lu Youyou said that, the golden fireball flew over with a farming sound. It stuck close to her body and smashed into the Array Formation node with a bang. The heat wave spread, causing Lu Youyou's hair to emit a faint burnt smell.

"Damn it, how dare you attack me!"

Lu Youyou glared at Song Shi angrily, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the air.

In the Heavenly Ghost Sect, who would dare to treat her like this?

The others had not seen the goddess of the sect being treated like this either. Many people were looking over, relishing the sight.

Owing to both Lu Youyou's Talent and background, everyone in the Heavenly Ghost Sect was polite to her, including the elders and inner sect disciples. Those with low status were even more respectful.

Was there something wrong with this new elder's brain, or was he doing this on purpose despite knowing her identity?

"Youyou, stop fooling around. This is not the time to use your full strength." n0𝒱𝐞𝓁𝔲𝓈𝚋.𝑐0𝐌

Lu Jiu shook his head at his daughter. Then, he looked at Song Shi. "Elder Blood Robes, you don't have to bother with this little girl."

"I'm not a little girl. I'm almost an adult already!"

Seeing that her father was not helping her, Lu Youyou felt even more aggrieved. She glared at Song Shi, turned around, and ran towards the Supreme Kraken Ship. She decided to quit helping out and wanted to shirk her responsibilities.

"This girl has such a bad temper."

Lu Jiu was helpless and did not say anything else.

Fang Gang looked at Song Shi in surprise and secretly gave him a thumbs up. "The blood-robed elder is so domineering. Even we don't dare to offend this little demoness."

Shi Tianya frowned slightly. Why did he feel that this old ghost was playing hard to get? Could it be that he had some thoughts towards Lu Youyou and was doing this deliberately to attract Lu Youyou's attention?

But Song Shi did not have any thoughts, after all he was not even afraid of death. How could it be that he was afraid of this little demoness?

At most, he would just die. What else would happen to him anyways?

Song Shi responded to Fang Gang with a faint smile. His gaze was fixed on the array that enveloped the basin. At that moment, under the combined attacks of the various large sects, the power of the Array Formation was rapidly being consumed. The scene inside gradually became clearer.

Many gazes were attracted over. They saw that at the spot where the Ye Family led their cultivators to attack the node, a medicinal field was revealed outside the basin.

Although most of the herbs inside were ordinary and of the normal variety, such as the Chinese Ginseng, Angelica, and Licorice, all of them emitted a sparkling Will-O-Wisp. Many of them had reached the spiritual limit of their medicinal age.

One of the ginsengs was spewing copious amounts of spiritual mist as if it was a cultivator. It looked like it was about to turn into a demon. The medicinal herbs nearby looked shorter, surrounding it like stars surrounding the moon.

"This ginseng is at least ten thousand years old. It can be considered a king of medicine."

"If there's such a precious top-notch spiritual herb in the periphery, I wonder what's inside?"

"The Ye Family is really lucky to be able to obtain this kind of medicine that is valuable even to Nascent Soul cultivators!"

The lower-middle-level cultivators of the various large factions watched enviously, their eyes gradually burning.

Since there was something good at this node, the other locations should not be too bad as well.

"Hurry up and break the array. There are countless treasures inside!"

"Even if we only get a small portion of the treasures here, it will definitely be comparable to tens or even a hundred years of accumulation of treasures."

"Everyone, work harder. Spiritual herbs and Numinous treasures are right in front of us."

Leaders from the various large sects seized the opportunity to cheer their own people on, not wanting to fall behind others.

The cultivators attacked even more vigorously and rumbling sounds could be heard everywhere.

"The history of this place is probably more than ten thousand years old."

Song Shi continued to throw fireballs at a moderate speed. One fireball, two fireballs, three or four fireballs. He did not look anxious at all.

He was seriously observing the Array Formation. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

"How is this a cave abode? It really looks like the ruins of a sect. They weren't exaggerating before, but where is the space that The Heavenly Star Lord mentioned?"

Facing the array formation that enveloped the basin, Song Shi felt like a primary school student facing a systematic program. He could only understand the basics of its formation.

"Who cares? Let's see if I can be killed with the Array Formation and raise my level."

The Blood-Robed old ghost's Array Formation level was only third-grade, so it didn't increase his level by much. If he wanted to improve in a short period of time, he could only gain experience through farming death.

At this moment, the array formation they were attacking changed.

Heavenly Star Perfected Lord sensed it and said hurriedly, "Be careful. The defensive mechanism of the formation has been activated and the power of the killing formation can erupt at any moment."

Just as he finished reminding them, a circle of white light appeared at a node.

This was where the joint trading companies were attacking. As the light twisted, the vision under the Array Formation barrier suddenly became clear.

Below them, there were hundreds and thousands of swords stabbed into the ground. Most of them had decayed but some of them were shining with Will-O-Wisp. There was even a sword covered in golden runes, as if it was alive and emitting strange fluctuations.

From afar, this place looked like a tomb for swords. Even the decayed swords had an ancient charm.

"Ssshhh, Spiritual Qi is so abundant here! These are Numinous artifacts!"

"I'm rich. Any sword here can definitely be sold for more than a thousand spirit stones."

Seeing these swords, the cultivators of these trading companies were incomparably excited. Their eyes were filled with greed as they increased their attacks.

Suddenly, the golden sword in the sword tomb trembled.

Zheng!

A crisp sword hum sounded.

"Something's wrong. Let's retreat for now."

The brocade-robed old man who led the team spoke.

Report chapter Comments

However, some people's rationality had already been affected by greed and they did not listen.

Thank you readers!

Before they could react.

A wave of sword qi suddenly soared into the sky. Sharp energy that was comparable to the strength of ten thousand swords shot towards the attacking cultivators.

"Ah!"

The cultivators nearby were instantly riddled with holes and turned into meat paste under the sharp aura. Most of the cultivators who retreated had their limbs broken.

The smell of blood spread, dousing the fanatical crowd with a brutal reality check.

The cultivators of the joint trading companies turned pale. When they looked at the sword in front of them again, there was no longer any joy.

"I've already reminded you. Do you really think that the the level six comprehensive Array Fromation here is to be trifled with and will willingly allow you to attack?"

Heavenly Star Lord glanced at the United Trading Company indifferently, his voice reverberating through the somewhat silent valley.

Song Shi was envious. Thousands of swords piercing through his heart? He had never tasted death quite like this.

Tick, tick, tick.

Blood actually fell inside through the Array Formation. The swords in the Sword Tomb became a little more bloody, as if this was not the tomb of the swords, but their tomb instead.

"Be careful. When the Array Formation is attacked to a certain extent, it will cause counterattacks."

Lu Jiu's words made the people who were shocked come back to their senses. They became careful when they attacked again.

The encounter with of the Trading Companies was only the beginning. Soon, other places were also attacked by killing arrays.

A lake appeared where the Qianzheng Academy attacked. There were many lotus flowers growing in it. In the end, before they could take a look, water lotuses flew out and spun, directly killing a few Confucian-looking cultivators.

This was under the circumstance that they were on guard already. If they were not prepared, more people would have died.

A forest appeared in the area where the Heavenly Poison Sect was located. There was a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood growing inside. Some spiritual fruits that formed from spiritual wood emitted an alluring fragrance that made people drool from afar.

Initially, they thought that there was no danger, but in the end, countless vines appeared out of thin air and wrapped around a few cultivators. The roots pierced into their bodies and turned them into dried corpses in the blink of an eye.

It was obvious that there were precious treasures in every attack node, but there was also terrifying killing mechanisms present.

"Everyone below the Golden Core Realm, retreat!"

They had already seen the miserable state of the other nodes several times, so they were willing to dodge without hesitation at the slightest movement.

No matter how precious a treasure was, one had to be alive to obtain it.

Only Lu Jiu and the other three Nascent Souls did not retreat.

"Sect Master, is there a way to break it?"

Ghost Butcher asked. Among them, the sect master's Array Formation level was the highest.

"Definitely not. Moreover, this place is like the other nodes. It's not easy to deal with despite being strong."

Lu Jiu frowned. "Even if it's a long-range attack, it will be counterattacked by the Array Formation. Other than relying on technique to break it, we must also brace ourselves for death if we continue attacking. We have to be ready to incur a certain number of casualties if we want to break the array."

When they could not think of a solution and most people had retreated, Song Shi stood up.

"It's here, my chance is finally here!"

Song Shi was filled with anticipation. Not only did he not retreat, but he also strode towards the node.

These nodes were the key points of the entire ruin's Array Formation. It was precisely because they were critical that the things below were also very precious.

Many gazes looked over with strange expressions. They did not understand why the Blood-Robed old ghost was still approaching when everyone had dodged hurriedly.

"Blood Robes?"

Old Man Nightmare exclaimed softly.

"If he has a death wish, just let him go. Why are you calling him?"

Lu Youyou crossed her arms on the boat, "Let's see what he can do now."

Lu Jiu frowned slightly. An old demon like Blood-Robed old ghost would not foolishly send himself to his death. He either had something to rely on or had discovered something important.

The light of the Array Formation squirmed, and the Void distorted. A verdant tea tree slowly appeared, and there was a tree shadow beside it.

On a closer look, the shadow was also casted by a tea tree.

This tea tree wasn't very tall. It was about thirty feet tall. Its trunk was white and its leaves were emerald green. It was covered in spiritual runes and looked rather mystical.

The emerald green leaves were crystal clear and full of Spiritual Qi. They were full of vitality and even had runes on them. They contained a unique charm.

"Wisdom Tea Tree!"

"It actually contained this legendary spiritual object. I heard that using this tea to brew water can increase one's Comprehension by leaps and bounds."

"Wild beasts can directly activate their intelligence and ascend after eating the tea leaves."

The knowledgeable Lu Jiu, Ghost Butcher, and Moving Mountain were pleasantly surprised by the reveal of their treasures. Although the treasures at their node were rather special and could not increase their combat strength or directly increase their cultivation, they could be used to increase their aptitude.

This was definitely the best thing for nurturing disciples. It could help in increasing the overall talent of the entire sect in a short period of time.

Song Shi glanced at the tea tree. Blood was gushing out from the belt on his waist and quickly expanded into a river of blood.

He had already walked to the same level as Lu Jiu and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators.

"What does the Blood-robed Elder think?"

Lu Jiu was surprised. Even the other Golden Cores avoided coming so close. Why did this person dare to get so close?

They were all at the Nascent Soul realm and had enough strength. What was this person relying on?

"I don't have any thoughts. I just want to go over and activate the Array Formation attack."

Song Shi replied. Suddenly, a clone of him was formed and walked out from beside him and continued to approach the node.

"Cloning Technique!"

Perfected Lord Ghost Butcher was surprised, "This spell is very rare. What he cultivates is a rather high-level cloning technique."

When Song Shi approached, the tea tree suddenly emitted a green light. When Song Shi came into contact with it, he instantly turned into dust.

In the blood river, the other Song Shi had a calm expression, as if he had not encountered any danger.

"Even if it's only a portion of the power of a Level six Array Formation, it's still terrifyingly powerful."

Lu Jiu sighed and looked at the green light, "Even if we, Nascent Souls face it, it will still be quite difficult."

"Is he using his clone to deliberately consume the Array Formation Power?"

Ghost Butcher glanced at Song Shi's clone beside them. Because of the blood river, he thought that this was Song Shi's main body.

"Hmph, he was quite lazy before. Now that he's taking the initiative, he definitely doesn't have good intentions."

Lu Youyou couldn't help but retort when she saw that Song Shi was attacking the Array Formation.

"Congratulations on being killed by the Array Formation. Your body and soul have been destroyed. The reward is super doubled. Array Formation level 4,000!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 40 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"Resurrection location set. Reviving at resurrection point!"

"Your array formation level has increased to Level 4."

Hearing the notification, Song Shi appeared in the blood river, feeling excited.

"That's awesome, exciting. I was rewarded with four thousand Array Formation levels in one go. As expected of a Level 6 Array Formation. The key is that I didn't even feel any pain at all. I died so cleanly!"

Song Shi's understanding of Array Formations had improved greatly. He appeared beside the clone and glanced at Lu Youyou. "Don't talk smack. If you have the ability, go and attack too."

Lu Youyou said disdainfully, "It's just using a clone to deceive the Array Formation attack. It's not that brilliant."

"Youyou, the Blood-robed Elder is helping to break the array!"

Lu Jiu scolded, "Just watch carefully and stop making a fuss."

"Father, why are you speaking up for him again? Who doesn't know how to activate an Array Formation attack?"

Lu Youyou was unconvinced.

"Youyou, since you say so why don't you try condensing an Essence Energy clone."

Lu Jiu frowned.

"I'll give it a try then!"

Lu Youyou formed a seal and the black Essence Energy on her body surged. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a clone formed purely from Essence Energy.

Taking a step forward, the clone passed Song Shi in the blink of an eye and even deliberately glared at him.

Bam.

But before she could get her clone to approach the tea tree, it was shattered by the Array Formation. n0𝚟𝚎𝑙𝚞𝓈𝒷.𝗰0𝔪

"How could this be!"

Lu Youyou didn't understand.

"Stupid woman, if you don't understand the Array Formation, stay aside. The counterattack of this node is calculated according to the strength of the attacker. The more people there are, the stronger the counterattack. Similarly, the fewer people there are, the weaker the counterattack will be. Having only one person attack at a time will cause the Array Formation to start conserving energy."

Song Shi had a disdainful expression, "My clone can launch a full-strength attack comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, but I'll be fine. How many of you here can do it?"

Old Man Nightmare and the others subconsciously shook their heads. Since the Array Formation was strong when faced by strong and weak when by the weak, even if the sect master among them went, it would be very dangerous. It was difficult to say that anyone would be able to attack unscathed.

Even if there was really a way to preserve oneself, the energy, qi and essence consumption would definitely be terrifying. How could they then compete with the others for the treasures in the depths?

Clearly, the Blood-Robed old ghost's methods were most suitable to exhaust the power of this node.

"Blood-robed Elder, if you can exhaust the power of the array formation at this node, I'll give you one of the two Wisdom Ancient Tea Trees!"

Lu Jiu was very generous. The treasures in the outer area were so precious now, but the things inside were definitely more high-end. If he wasted his energy here, it would not be worth it.

"Understood!"

Song Shi originally only planned to farm death only and did not expect to obtain an ancient tea tree. However he agreed since this could definitely benefit him as drinking tea made from the Wisdom Tree tea leaves would probably increase his Comprehension by a lot.

He took a step forward with a proud expression, "All of you, retreat. I'll use my Blood Clone to exhaust the power of this node."

With that said, he rushed towards the tea tree.

Puff!

In the next moment, he was killed by the golden light again.

Many people looked over and were rather surprised by Song Shi's methods.

Report chapter Comments

To break through the killing arrays in these nodes, other than relying on techniques, one could only wear down and exhaust the power stored in the nodes.

The cost of doing so was not small.

This was because the Array Formation counterattacked according to the attacker's situation. Furthermore, it would exceed the attacker's level for its counterattack to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

If one's main body approached, their lives would be in danger. However, their clones were very weak and were far from reaching the main body's level. Moreover, creating the clone also consumed a lot of energy. It was not something that people were willing to try out.

Especially after seeing the treasures on the outside, all the Golden Core cultivators present wanted to preserve their Nomological power to fight for more precious treasures inside.

They all tacitly watched as Song Shi sent his clone to his death. They felt that this person only wanted to make a contribution or take advantage of his special methods to earn a Wisdom Tree.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators continue to attack from afar. Golden Core cultivators, rest on the spot and recover your Nomological power."

Lu Jiu decisively gave the order which was according to the thoughts of the elders and disciples. At the same time, he prepared for the next step.

When he entered the ruins, he did not plan to let Foundation Establishment cultivators enter because it would be very easy for them to die there.

The other factions were also tactfully preserving their strength. However, the difference was that there was a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Ghost Sect who was willing to risk his life to activate the Array Formation.

"Is this guy a fool? He's actually working so hard."

"Hehe, If I give you a Wisdom Tree would you be willing to work this hard?"

"Yes, but it's a pity that I don't have such a powerful cloning technique. Look at his clone. It feels even more powerful than his main body."

"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I heard that it's the infamous Blood-Robed old ghost from five hundred years ago. Look at his Dharma treasures…"

The people who had stopped to recover their Nomological power brought up Song Shi as a topic of discussion.

Other than the top factions, there were also lower-level sects and even small sects who came to explore the ruins this time. Just like the joint trading companies, they formed factions that consisted of several smaller sects.

At a certain node, in an alliance formed by a few medium-sized sects, several Golden Core cultivators had ugly expressions.

"Tsk tsk, Brother He, it seems like your old enemy from the Vajra Sect isn't dead yet. Are you going to attack later?"

Frost Jade Cave's sect master sized up Song Shi with a teasing expression as he rested.

"There's no need for Your Excellency to worry. Everyone's target should be the treasures in this array formation right now. Some things can be discussed in the future."

He Yuanlu took a deep look at the Blood-Robed old ghost but did not seem to have much resentment in his gaze.

"That's true. You've already held this grudge for hundreds of years after all."

They did not pay much attention to Song Shi's matter. Everyone's attention quickly returned to themselves.

After three more deaths, Song Shi's Array Formation had reached the fifth-grade. The complicated mechanisms of the Array Formation in front of him gradually became clear to him.

After ten rounds, the basic rewards ended. Song Shi's standard was still a little lacking before he could reach the sixth-grade.

However, he had a rough understanding of the array formation of the ruins and knew how to attack it to save energy.

Song Shi could not help but glance at the Heaven Secret Office camp and was a little surprised.

The node of this faction's attack was actually not broken. It shouldn't be.

Now that he had reached the fifth-grade, although he had reached it with this comprehensive Array Formation as the foundation, there was still a gap between him and the Heavenly Star Lord. n0𝑣𝗲𝐋𝑢𝑠𝒷.𝔠0𝓶

Since he knew some ways to break it, this old man should also definitely know how to break it.

"What a sly old fox."

Song Shi muttered in his heart and did not care.

At this moment, the Ye Family did not encounter any powerful counterattack. They were the first to break through the node and had successfully approached the medicinal field below.

"Their luck is really good. Their node is the safest."

"It's obvious that this used to be a normal medicinal field. I guess the original owner didn't consider setting up any killing array."

"It's possible. Who would have thought that after so many years, a pile of normal herbs could give birth to a King of Medicine? Perhaps this is the power of time."

Amidst his exclamations, the Nascent Soul of the Ye Family cupped his fists at The Heavenly Star Lord. "Heavenly Star Perfected Lord, this medicinal field should be ready to be harvested, right?"

"I've already helped you find the key node and saved you the trouble. You're about to obtain benefits after breaking through the node, yet you still want to ask me?"

The Heavenly Star Lord reacted bluntly but his words were indeed reasonable.

From finding the node to reminding everyone, he had contributed and benefited all the factions greatly. No one could say otherwise.

"I was too rash. Please don't take offense, Heavenly Star Perfected Lord. I won't trouble you with such a small matter."

Ye Wenzhong smiled awkwardly. He was a thin and capable old man. He was wearing a special golden-threaded ink robe that was specially made for the Ye Family. He looked very smart.

He tactfully stopped trying to take advantage of the Heavenly Star Lord and gestured to his cultivators. "Investigate again and see if there are any dangers."

The few of them must have had some knowledge about Array Formations. They formed hand seals to check their surroundings and shook their heads.

"Patriarch Ye, there's no more Array Formation Power nearby."

"The node has been broken. There's no danger within ten miles."

"These medicinal herbs can be collected!"

They looked excitedly at the medicinal field that was dozens of acres wide. The medicinal herbs inside were lush and there were many butterflies and bees flying around. It was filled with spiritual vitality.

Ye Wenzhong personally took a look and nodded. "I will take the King of Medicine. Xiao Bo, bring some people to collect the other herbs and get a few to keep an eye on the King of Medicine. This thing is already sentient. Don't let it escape!"

With that, his eyes flickered and he quickly formed a seal before slapping the ground.

"Golden Stone Art!"

Under his hand, a golden light quickly spread. The soil on the ground seemed to have been dyed and turned golden, looking like there was gold everywhere.

"I never thought the Ye Family Head would be versed in such a unique spell. I've heard it's the bane of the Earth Escape Spell.""

"Indeed, it is. This spell turns the ground into something akin to solid metal. Do you honestly believe the Earth Escape Spell stands a chance against it?"

Report chapter Comments

"Even if the King of Medicine is sentient, he probably can't escape underground with the Earth Escape Spell now."

Many people felt that the Ye Family would definitely be able to harvest all the treasures successfully. They quickly became the first faction to have a good start.

Ye Wenzhong smiled and glanced at Lu Jiu. "I think you might as well attack with all your might. Perhaps you'll be like us and break through with only a few moves."

"You don't have to worry about what we do."

Lu Jiu replied coldly, as if he was not on good terms with Ye Wenzhong.

Song Shi's clone said to Old Man Nightmare, "How is the sect's relationship with the Ye Family?"

"They're basically enemies. The Ye Family has a close relationship with the Qian Family of the Great Qian Royal Family. There are often kings with different surnames in the family. They have once killed many people from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Even…"

As Old Man Nightmare spoke, he glanced at Lu Youyou and did not say much. He concluded, "Anyway, we're basically mortal enemies."

"Oh, I see."

Song Shi said meaningfully.

Old Man Nightmare took another look at Song Shi. Why did he suddenly feel that there was a hidden meaning in this person's words?

However, when he saw that the Ye Family and their cultivators had managed to successfully approach the medicinal field to harvest it, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he sighed. "This guy is about to obtain the King of Medicine. His luck is really good."

On the medicinal field, Spiritual Qi condensed and did not dissipate. All kinds of medicinal herbs emitted a rich smell and many butterflies fluttered about.

A few cultivators landed among the medicinal herbs and looked at the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs on the ground. They excitedly dug out the surrounding medicinal herbs.

"This medicinal herb is three thousand years old. It's just short of spirituality."

"My herbs are seven thousand years old…"

A few butterflies suddenly landed on them and "plop, plop, plop."

The few of them fell straight to the ground and squashed the many medicinal herbs beneath them.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Before everyone could be shocked, the bodies of the people here seemed to have decayed then evaporated on the spot.

"What… what's going on!"

The people behind were filled with fear. If these people died from the Array Formation attack, at least they would know clearly what was going on.

"Retreat!"

The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect looked over and some of the higher-ups revealed thoughtful expressions.

"This butterfly looks a little like the extinct Corrupted Poison Butterfly."

"That's true. I didn't expect there to be such an ancient mutant here. One can't let it come into contact with his. Otherwise, the power it emits can decay completely."

The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect gave a brief introduction of the butterfly with just a few words.

Instantly, the many admiring gazes changed. They stared fearfully at the butterflies dancing in the medicinal field. For a moment, no one dared to approach.

"Ye, these butterflies are not something you can deal with. If you know what's good for you, stay away. Let us have it."

The leader of the Heavenly Poison Sect's team cackled. He seemed to be gloating.

"Hmph, it's just a few Poison Butterflies. Why can't we deal with them?"

Ye Wenzhong was furious. Nomological power erupted from his hand as he slapped them together angrily.

The Void distorted, and the butterflies that were still flying in the air were instantly crushed.

As soon as they died, they turned into ashes and landed on the nearby medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs burned with a puff and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a special poisonous force spread out. Some cultivators who were far away suddenly felt their Essence Energy barriers begin to burn. In the blink of an eye, they started to burn as well.

"What the hell is that!"

"Why is my Spiritual Essence burning me? I can't control it at all."

"Help me!" n0𝚟𝚎𝑙𝚞𝓈𝒷.𝗰0𝔪

The burning cultivators' shock quickly turned into a scream. In the end, they all died miserably.

Ye Wenzhong's expression turned ugly when he saw that his subordinates were actually unable to withstand the aftermath of the blast. "Stop for a moment."

Now that he could see that killing the Corrupted Poison Butterflies would only destroy the medicinal herbs, he did not know what to do.

The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect definitely knew how to deal with the situation, but they would also definitely not tell them.

"Hehe, you even dare to kill this thing casually. People indeed behave so differently when they have a strong foundation."

Facing the Heavenly Poison Sect's sect master's ridicule, the Ye Family Head's face turned dark. He had suffered a loss because of his lack of knowledge.

Old Man Nightmare looked at Song Shi's clone in shock, "Don't tell me you knew this was going to happen?"

"If even medicinal herbs can become spirits, how can the butterflies inside be harmless?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. He was unwilling to say more. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

"That's true. Even if a butterfly doesn't become a spirit, it won't be a normal butterfly either. But who would have thought that it would be so poisonous?"

Old Man Nightmare saw that the Ye Family had stopped their attacks and smiled. When he turned around and saw that Lu Youyou was in a good mood, he did not say anything else.

"Blood-robed Elder, it should be about time."

Lu Jiu spoke. He had been observing the situation at the node. After Song Shi had led the attack, after more than twenty times, the power of the node had decreased greatly.

"If the sect master wants to open it in one go, it shouldn't be a problem now."

Song Shi nodded. Even if Lu Jiu and the others did not make a move, he was confident that he could break through by himself.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators, retreat. Golden Core cultivators, prepare."

Lu Jiu revealed a serious expression. He pressed his finger on the node and Nomological power condensed runes in the void. They connected and turned into small black snakes that crawled into the node.

Soon, the node twisted violently and a hole was drilled out by the small black snake.

This hole was ten feet wide, and as the Array Formation barrier was already very weak, it was easier to break through than before.

"Attack here. Go all out. Hurry!"

The various elders and inner sect disciples who had already rested for a while activated their Dharma treasures or condensed spells to attack at the same time.

With a loud bang, the hole created by the small black snake was broken open, revealing the space inside.

Lu Jiu hurriedly formed hand seals and continued to send out runes that fused into the cave entrance to consolidate this rather small entrance.

In the end, everything managed to stabilize, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted out. Just a whiff of it made one feel much better.

"Let's go in and take a look first. You Foundation Establishment Cultivators stay behind to guard this place."

Lu Jiu looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost, "Elder Blood-Robes, let's go and get your Wisdom Tea Tree."

"Okay."

Song Shi was not afraid of any danger inside at all. He nodded confidently.

"Let's go!"

Lu Jiu led the way and flew in. The others entered one after another and entered the area enveloped by the Array Formation nodes.

Song Shi took a look at the entire scene and felt that he was in a basin when he entered.

"The Sky and the Land are the alms bowls, while the humans in the basin are the Gu worms. Is this a Gu refining sect?"

A strange thought appeared in his mind. He followed behind and entered through a narrow entrance. Immediately, he felt that his vision had changed, as if he had arrived at a new world.

There was a tea forest here with all kinds of tea trees planted. The two Wisdom Tea Trees happened to be the most precious among them, carrying rich spirituality.

Song Shi raised his head and took a look. A black circle pierced through the inside and outside, forming a passageway.

"Lu Jiu also knows some Array Formation techniques, so it was easy for us to enter."

Song Shi turned around and sized up the surroundings. The land here was very vast. Just building a comprehensive Array Formation to envelop this place would definitely cost a lot of effort.

Not only did such a powerful force suddenly disappear, but everyone in the present had never heard of them or their disappearance. It was really strange.

"Elder Blood Robes, according to the agreement, one of these is yours. It's up to you to choose which one."

Lu Jiu landed in front of the Wisdom Tea Tree and kept his promise, taking the initiative to mention this matter.

"The one on the right."

Song Shi walked over and looked at the tea tree. He took out his flying sword and began to dig.

Crack! Crack!

The ground was cut open by his flying sword, causing a huge commotion, but there was no danger.

"That attack just now should be the final attack of this node."

Lu Jiu waved his hand. "It's still better to be careful. Dig up all the tea trees to ensure their survival. When we need to, we can sell these."

Song Shi was very strong. In a few moments, he dug out a large piece of the root under the tea tree. Looking at the large tea tree, Song Shi said happily, "There will be good tea to drink in the future."

Lu Youyou walked over and took a handful of tea leaves, making Song Shi unhappy, "This is my stuff. Stay away from it."

"Why are you so stingy? I'm just taking a few leaves from you. You still have so many leaves here."

Lu Youyou looked like a child, but her hand was still pulling the leaves. Song Shi was so angry that he grabbed Lu Youyou's hand and pointed at a pile of tea leaves. "How many pieces do you have? If you do it a few more times, the tree will be bald!"

"Stingy!"

Lu Youyou's other hand was still tugging at the leaves. Song Shi's face darkened and he felt extremely annoyed.

"Blood-robed Elder, there are a lot of tea leaves in this tree. You can't finish them all by yourself."

Shi Tianya said indifferently, "Since Junior Sister likes it, let her pick a few pieces."

"Shut up. It's not yours. Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

Song Shi retorted and stared at Lu Youyou. This woman was so annoying. The more he tried to stop her, the more he would appear like a petty person.

Then, as if he didn't care about this, he let go of Lu Youyou's hand and said "Continue plucking them then."

"You agreed to this."

Lu Youyou laughed strangely. She used both hands and quickly picked out large pieces of tea leaves.

Song Shi crossed his arms and looked unhappy.

He was unhappy, but Lu Youyou was smiling.

She was the classic case of gloating over others misfortune .

Song Shi turned around to observe the area outside the tea plantation. In the area where the Array Formation had not been broken, it looked foggy outside and was filled with miasma, obstructing one's vision.

When his thoughts probed over, it was destroyed by a corrosive power the moment he approached.

"The miasma is already so powerful. This is only a node that has been broken. The other Array Formations have not been broken at all. This feels like a parallel circuit. It's not affected by anything on the outside. But if you walk over, you'll probably die."

The blood on Song Shi's body squirmed and submerged him. It quickly spread to the periphery, forming a blood river.

The blood water squirmed and two identical him appeared. One of them walked forward.

This direction was the center of the basin. As expected, the Array Formation Power was even stronger.

Lu Jiu did not stop him. He was already preparing to send someone to probe the nearby situation. It would be best if someone took the initiative to do it.

On the surface, it looked like Song Shi sent a clone, but in fact, Song Shi's main body walked into the fog. Soon, a ball of flames rose and Song Shi turned into ashes.

"Rumor has it that this old man is extremely selfish. When did he become so proactive?"

The Mountain Moving Daoist, who had his hands behind his back, suddenly said.

"I'm more curious why he hasn't become feeble after wasting so many clones."

The Ghost Butcher's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"It's most likely because of his Dharma treasure."

Lu Jiu guessed, "This thing is about to become a Numinous artifact. The Blood Refinement Sect's inheritance is something spectacular indeed."

"It should be. Didn't he kill many cultivators in Silken City previously? He probably used the blood essence of those cultivators to cultivate this Cloning Technique. After consuming it, he can recover quickly."

Ghost Butcher nodded in agreement.

"Blood Dao techniques have terrifying regenerative abilities and tenacious vitality. It's a pity that the Blood Refinement Sect provoked the royal family of Great Qian and was wiped out all at once."

A nostalgic look appeared on the Mountain Moving Daoist's face. "Back then, our Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Blood Refinement Sect had a good relationship. They killed people to refine their blood while we bought the blood to cultivate. It was a mutually beneficial relationship. How wonderful."

"Hehe, if the Blood Refinement Sect wasn't destroyed, how would the Sky Demon Cult have the chance to become the champion of the Demonic Dao?"

Lu Jiu sneered.

Ghost Butcher shook his head and thought of something. "Rumor has it that the Blood Refinement Sect is related to the Blood Spirit Sect. Is that true?"

"The Blood Refinement Sect came from the Blood Spirit Sect back then, but they've long lost contact with each other. Otherwise, why didn't they say anything when the Blood Refinement Sect was destroyed back then?"

At this point, the Mountain Moving Daoist said, "However, Great Qian is decaying and on the verge of collapse. The surrounding eight countries are restless. There are cultivators from other countries appearing in the thirteen prefectures. We have to be careful of them coming to pick peaches[1]."

"This should be a headache for the Sky Demon Cult and Great Qian. We should develop ourselves and nurture and recruit more talents."

Lu Jiu was not worried. He looked at the tea trees. "After this exploration, I'll recruit a batch of new disciples and use the wisdom tea made from the leaves to increase their Comprehension."

After Song Shi died ten more times, he suddenly stopped courting death.

"There's a teahouse in this direction. There are a few ancient cultivators' manors and some shops in that. They're all protected by Array Formations. I'll rest for a while. You guys go ahead and break them."

Song Shi said. He realized that he could not obtain any more EXP after his Array Formation had reached grade-6.

Even if he was killed by another Array Formation while courting death, he would still not be rewarded with Array Formation EXP that could increase his level.

The reason was that the level of the Array Formation had to be higher than his current level before it could continue to be effective.

"The reward method has been refreshed after the Core Formation realm. With an upper and lower limit, I can only find a Grade 7 Array Formation to increase my Array Formation level."

Song Shi thought of the rules of the previous refresh and felt a little unsatisfied.

If there was no upper limit, he could farm his Array Formation to Grade Nine right now.

"Blood-robed Elder, you've worked hard. Rest peacefully. We'll break this portion of the Array Formation next."

Lu Jiu smiled at Song Shi with a good attitude.

He knew that Song Shi had performed very well.

No matter what Song Shi's motive was, since he was so proactive in doing things, he was a good role model to the others.

"Oh, so you are finally tired, I thought you said you hadn't exhausted yourself?"

Lu Youyou glanced at Song Shi. The wisdom tree in front of her was almost bald and the tea leaves had filled several jade basins.

"Are you done?"

Song Shi retracted the blood river and turned around to ask casually.

"It's about time. I'll leave some for you. It will be enough for a pot of tea."

Lu Youyou clapped her hands. There were about thirty leaves left on the tea tree in front of her.

"Take them all off. There's no need to keep them."

Song Shi shook his head and walked over to form a seal. He began to seal the tea tree to prevent it from losing its vitality and spirituality. This was a common way to preserve all kinds of spiritual objects. It was a little like adding plastic wrap to vegetables and food in his previous life.

When Lu Youyou heard Song Shi's generous words, she was quite surprised. She looked at Song Shi suspiciously. "You said it."

"Take it off. New tea will grow next year."

Song Shi nodded.

Many people curled their lips when they heard that.

'New tea?'

This Wisdom Tea could only mature a batch of tea leaves in a hundred years, which meant that it would take a hundred years for the new tea to mature.

"Your generosity is making me feel bad."

Although Lu Youyou said that, her hands acted otherwise. She plucked the last of the tea leaves and placed them in the full jade basin. n0𝗏𝑬𝓁𝓊𝑠𝐁.𝑐0𝑀

She stared at Song Shi, but she did not see any anger or pain from losing his tea leaves. She was a little stunned.

Wasn't it heartbreaking to have all the leaves of such a hard-earned tea tree plucked?

She saw Song Shi walking towards the jade basin and stopped him. "What are you doing?"

"I'm collecting my tea. Thank you for picking the tea leaves for me. I think the tea leaves personally picked by a beauty will taste better."

[1] "Pick the peaches" is referring to the cultivators from other countries taking advantage of the chaos to reap benefits

Song Shi smiled. Since this woman was shameless enough to pluck his tea leaves, he would shamelessly use her as free labor.

"What do you mean by picking tea leaves for you? This is mine!"

Lu Youyou hurriedly waved her hand, wanting to put away the tea leaves.

"What's yours? Give it to me!"

Song Shi grabbed Lu Youyou's hand and threw it out without caring that she was a girl and weaker than him. Then, he put the jade basins filled with tea leaves on the ground into his storage ring.

Lu Youyou landed one hundred feet away in a sorry state. When she saw that Song Shi actually took the fruits of her labor, she was so angry that she trembled. "You… you're too shameless. The tea leaves are mine!"

She had deliberately placed the tea leaves she had picked here just to anger Song Shi. Who would have thought that she would be beaten up and taken advantage of?

"When is it yours? Don't you know that this tea tree is a reward from your father to me?"

Song Shi's expression was calm as he put away the ancient tea tree.

Lu Youyou pointed at Song Shi and flew into a rage. "You said you gave it to me. How can you go back on your word, what kind of man are you?!"

"I said I gave it to you? I only asked you to pluck all the leaves you want. You misunderstood me words yourself. How is that my fault?"

Song Shi smiled with his hands behind his back. "Thank you for picking the tea leaves for me. I'll stir-fry the tea now and make a cup of tea. You can stand here to admire the fragrance of the tea."

Pure Yang True Fire appeared in his palm. Then, he took out a portion of tea leaves and began to stir-fry them.

Immediately, the Will-O-Wisp of the tea leaves bloomed. Song Shi hurriedly shot out runes to seal the essence inside to prevent it from being lost.

A wave of fragrance spread out, refreshing one's heart.

The more Lu Youyou looked at it, the angrier she became. She rushed over and wanted to snatch the tea leaves.

With a bang, Song Shi sent her flying with a punch. This gave Lu Youyou a black eye which made her look like a panda.

"You… How dare you embarrass me!"

Lu Youyou's face was covered in dirt as she glared at Song Shi in shame and anger. It was one thing for this person to hit her previously, as only Grandpa Nightmare had seen it. Now that the entire sect and even other sects had seen her getting beat up, how could she face others in the future?

"What does it have to do with me? If you want to snatch my things, that's what I'll do. It doesn't matter who you are!"

Song Shi said coldly. He took out some of the stir-fried tea leaves and threw them into a cup. Then, he boiled water and began to make tea.

Such was the benefit of cultivation. All kinds of miscellaneous things could be placed in storage bags or storage rings. It was also very convenient to start a fire anywhere he wanted.

When the people around them saw Song Shi's relaxed expression and Lu Youyou's panda eyes, their hearts skipped a beat.

Lu Jiu, who was studying the Array Formation in front of him, turned around and frowned slightly, "Youyou, come here."

"Dad, look!"

Lu Youyou pointed at her bruised eyes. "You've never even hit me like this!"

The corner of Lu Jiu's mouth twitched. He was indeed a little angry, "Why do you have to be so mean to a woman? Elder Blood Robes?"

"If she didn't mess with me. Nothing would have happened."

Song Shi replied indifferently and poured the hot water into the cup. Immediately, the fragrance of tea filled the air. A faint white light spilled out from it. There were actually runes jumping around, vaguely wanting to combine together as if an article was being written.

"This is really something."

His gaze was attracted by the phenomenon in front of him and he stopped paying attention to Lu Youyou.

"Father, look at his attitude. Does he even take you, the sect master, seriously?"

Lu Youyou continued to fan the flames.

"Alright, do you know where this place is? Killing arrays are everywhere and there might be danger at any time. Can't you be quiet for a while?"

Lu Jiu berated. There were so many people here. How could he side with his daughter when she was obviously in the wrong?

"Why are you scolding me again? What did I do wrong?"

Lu Youyou was so angry that she cried. "Alright, since I'm just a burden, I won't disturb you here, okay?"

With that, she turned around and ran out, crying.

Song Shi's expression did not change.

"Little girl, I'm not even afraid of death. You think I can't deal with a pampered young lady like you?"

Song Shi lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He felt his mind clear up and become active.

"Even with my high Comprehension, this tea is still effective. Not bad."

Song Shi sipped his tea with a satisfied expression.

"This is how life should be. Tasting tea and drinking wine. Free and unrestrained."

Song Shi thought to himself, This is what cultivation should be.

"Brother Blood Robes, can I have a drink?"

Old Man Nightmare appeared at the side.

"Of course."

Song Shi hated people like Lu Youyou who purposely looked for trouble, but he did not dislike having casual conversations. He took out a teacup and made a cup for Old Man Nightmare.

He looked at the people who continued to break the formation in the distance and asked curiously, "Elder Nightmare, aren't you going to help?"

Old Man Nightmare took a sip of tea and his eyes flickered. He sighed. "Good tea!"

He answered Song Shi's question. "I'm mainly in charge of taking care of Miss. It's fine if I don't go."

"Tsk tsk, someone like her really needs to be taken care of. Otherwise, she would have long been killed outside."

Song Shi was disdainful.

In his opinion, so what if she was a goddess? With such a personality, she would not be able to live long in the cultivation world and could only rely on her elders to protect her. However, how long can such protection even last?

"Sigh, I know that Brother Blood Robes is an emotional person as well. I too, hate it when Miss is unruly and willful."

Old Man Nightmare sighed, "Actually, Miss wasn't like this when she was young. When Madam was still around, Miss was very obedient."

"Stop. You don't have to give me a reason. If I don't like her, I won't change my mind. I'm not interested in humoring her."

Song Shi raised his hand to stop him.

But Old Man Nightmare did not stop. "Brother Blood Robes, you still need to know why this happened. Miss's mother was killed in front of her by the Ye Family when she was seven years old. Furthermore, her tendons and bones were pulled out and she was slowly tortured to death. After that stimulation, Miss's personality changed drastically and she became extremely temperamental. The Sect Master felt guilty and hence became more indulgent. That's why Miss is so unruly today."

"Oh."

Song Shi replied with one word and nothing else.

"Actually, Miss isn't a bad person, but…"

"Alright, there's no need to speak up for her. There are many people in this world who are suffering and she's not the only one. I'll say it again. If she dares to provoke me again, I'll not hesitate to teach her how to be a person."

The Dharma treasures on Song Shi's waist, the blood river, released a blood light that drowned him. He said impatiently, "I want to restore Nomological power. I will start cultivating now."

He hid in the blood light and began to cultivate on the spot.

Old Man Nightmare was left speechless. This Blood-Robed old ghost's personality was also so domineering. If Miss didn't restrain herself, she would definitely still suffer.

He turned to leave, resigned to his fate, in order not to deepen the conflict.

Outside, the other sects also broke through the nodes one after another. n0𝗏𝑬𝓁𝓊𝑠𝐁.𝑐0𝑀

Every time a node was broken, the miasma that enveloped the basin would fade a little. This was because the overall defensive Array Formation was constantly weakening,hence the difficulty of breaking the array was also decreasing.

The light in the entire basin was getting better and better, and everyone's vision became clearer.

The strange thing was that Heavenly Star Perfected Lord, who had found the node, did not attack at all. The people from the Heaven Secret Office too did not care about attacking the node.

After most of the nodes were broken, he said, "The main body of the outer Array Formation has been destroyed. Let's go."

With a tap of his finger, the light of the node in front of him changed, and an entrance directly appeared. There was no need to forcefully break through the Array Formation.

"Let's go. This is the library pavilion area. We should be able to obtain more information about this ruin."

He led the big group into the Array Formation. This Array Formation on the way was extremely 'obedient' as if he was the one who created it. There was no obstruction at all, making some people who had worked hard to break their array envious.

"As expected of the number one Array Formation expert in Great Qian. He entered without much effort."

"He used his brains, but we used brute force."

"That's right. Ordinary people are not qualified to study Array Formations."

Upon hearing the discussion, Song Shi opened his eyes. Through the much clearer basin space, he saw that the Heaven Secret Office had led them into a library.

"He rushed here immediately. As expected of someone who specializes in obtaining information. If I can obtain information about the Array Formation from it, it won't be a problem for me to control array formations in the future too."

As Song Shi thought about it, he suddenly heard a sword cry. In the distance, a Will-O-Wisp soared into the sky.

"Stop the Spiritual Sword!"

The cultivators of the trading company who were collecting the sword in the Sword Tomb were flustered. In the end, they still could not block it. The spiritual sword actually flew towards the Demon Slayers Division and finally stopped in front of a valiant looking woman.

Song Shi was stunned. This woman was Chen Yiling. The latter was also in a daze.

In the next second, the spiritual sword swayed at Chen Yiling as if it was nodding. Then, it fused into her body in a flash, causing the cultivators who were about to chase after the sword to be dumbfounded.

"Hehe, the Spiritual Sword chooses its master. Looks like everyone has no fate with it."

Sword Emperor Gale of the Demon Slayers Division laughed. "Yiling, hurry up and thank the seniors."

Report chapter Comments

Chen Yiling was so starteled she started to panic. She wanted to activate the spiritual sword that had entered her body, but she was not strong enough and could not take it out.

She could only say out helplessly, "Thank you, Senior."

"Sword Emperor Gale, you're really shameless. We've painstakingly found the spirit sword and you want to keep it for your disciple just like that?"

The brocade-robed old man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was really out of luck today. Even the duck that was about to enter his mouth flew into someone else's pot. He was about to die of depression from the many losses he had encountered today.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you're so rich that your wealth is comparable to that of a country. You also termed yourself the Perfected Lord of Treasures. Since you're full of treasures and don't lack such a spiritual sword, why fight with a junior?"

Sword Emperor Gale chuckled.

"How dare you rebut so shamelessly!"

The Perfected Lord of Treasures was so angry that his teeth started to hurt. No matter how rich he was, he did not have many of such Numinous artifacts.

Most importantly, this thing was dug out by everyone together. Many people died for it, but it flew away. Not to mention him, the other cultivators from the joint trading companies also couldn't take it.

"Sigh, this sword has a spirit. Since it has chosen its master, why don't we fulfill its wish?"

Sword Emperor Gale was clearly shameless. He said shamelessly, "How about this? I owe you a favor on behalf of the sword. If there's any trouble later, I'll help you all out. Is that alright?"

The Perfected Lord of Treasures looked at Chen Yiling gloomily. He could tell that this old fellow clearly wanted his junior to swallow this sword. It would be very difficult for him to take it back. He could only grit his teeth. "Then remember this well. If you have something to do later, don't refuse!"

When Song Shi saw this scene, he immediately felt that the tea in his hand had paled in comparison.

There was a phrase which said there is no such thing as a free lunch. But this was equivalent to having a free lunch out of the blue, and this 'lunch' was a Numinous artifact too!

This thing was a Soul Transformation stage Weapon and had been birthed with spirituality.

If he were to compare this sword with weapons from his previous life, a Numinous treasure with spirit and intelligence like this sword would be one level higher that a weapon with Artificial Intelligence.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to possess such a treasure.

Whereas someone like Chen Yiling, could just posture and shout for a Spiritual sword whenever and the spiritual sword would fly over to her automatically. How pretentious was that?

"Damn it, I have the Psychic Dao Body too. Why don't treasures throw themselves at me?"

Song Shi's eyes shifted as he glanced at the sword tomb. There were no more spiritual swords inside.

"This girl is so lucky. She was chosen by the Spiritual Sword as its master. Her cultivation must have improved by leaps and bounds. It will be easy for her to form her Gold Core."

"I'm jealous. This girl has a Spiritual Sword protecting her now. As long as she doesn't die prematurely, it shouldn't be difficult for her to become a female Sword Emperor."

Fang Gang was also green with envy.

Shi Tianya's eyes were dark. "Then let's kill her in advance!"

Most of the people from the other sects also stared at Chen Yiling with hostile gazes.

To be recognized as a master by a spiritual sword at such a young age, she would pose a huge threat when she advances.

The best solution to such a threat was to nip her in the bud.

"Hmph, what are you looking at? If you have the ability, go and attract a Numinous artifact yourself!"

Sword Emperor Gale's eyes exploded with a sharp aura, shattering the malicious gazes of many people, causing some people with ulterior motives to retreat temporarily.

He smiled at Chen Yiling. "Indeed, the Zenith Heaven Sword King has taken in a good disciple. Follow closely by my side and don't give any of them a chance to attack you."

"Yes, Senior."

Chen Yiling secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was indeed under a lot of pressure from being stared at by so many people with ill intentions.

Now, a Sword Emperor had personally promised that at the very least, she did not have to worry about being killed by a powerhouse.

"Brother Gale, congratulations. Your Demon Slayers Department will have another Elite soon."

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Qianzheng Academy cupped their fists. They were all from the departments of Great Qian, so they naturally had to be polite to each other.

"Congratulations too. There's a cultivation technique building over there. When the time comes, there's a high chance for you all to obtain divine powers and spirit arts."

Sword Emperor Gale smiled as he looked at a simple and unadorned building. The words 'Ten Thousand Dharma' were engraved on it. Clearly, this was an inheritance from the ancient sect which consisted of their cultivation techniques and divine powers.

"It's difficult. This Tower of Ten Thousand Laws is most likely one of the core defensive forces of this ruin. I don't think we can break it alone."

The latter shook his head. He wore a scholar's robe and held a ruler-shaped magic treasure in his hand. He looked at a building more than ten miles away and pondered.

"Our side seems to be able to lead to the alchemy room. If attacking alone really doesn't work, we can work together to explore both places together."

Sword Emperor Gale suggested.

"That's what I thought."

The Confucian-robed elder nodded.

At this moment, as the nodes of the Array Formation were destroyed one after another, the situation inside the Array Formation became clearer and clearer.

The situation near the various large factions was further revealed. From the air, one could see which parts of the ruins were important and which were ordinary.

For example, the closest place to the Sky Demon Cult was the Weapon Pavilion. From afar, they could see Will-O-Wisp shooting out from it. This made the eyes of the Joint Trading Companies, who had just lost a spiritual sword, light up, and they also chose to approach the Weapon Pavilion.

"Work harder. We'll be able to enter this area where these ancient cultivators live soon. There might also be Numinous artifacts inside!"

Lu Jiu glanced at the various major powers approaching the important locations. But he did not choose to give up on the relatively ordinary living area in front of him.

The main reason was that the Array Formation here was almost broken. They were about to enter this place soon. If they gave up now, the sunk costs would be too high.

This was a living area. It was a little like the residence of ordinary disciples. The things planted nearby were relatively ordinary. Hence everyone was relying on their age to make up for it.

Everyone prepared to launch another joint attack. All kinds of cold attacks landed on the Array Formation and the Array Formation barrier began to distort before finally collapsing with a bang.

This was a residence with dozens of small buildings. It looked like a small village with a restaurant at the entrance.

The barrier outside the restaurant disappeared, and a circle of waves spread out, forming a gust of wind that swept up the dust inside. The residence that had been deserted for countless years was finally occupied by people again.n0𝑽𝑬𝔩𝓊𝐒𝐁.𝒞0𝓂

There was a lot of moss growing on the steps, and weeds were growing in the cracks in the stone. A large number of spider webs blocked the path, making it look severely dilapidated.

There were also some ancient words engraved on the houses. As everyone was observing, a black shadow suddenly flashed past. n0𝑣𝖾𝗅𝐮𝓢𝑏.𝗰0𝗆

"What's that!"

The elder who was about to go into the house to take a look was shocked. Because even with his strength, he actually didn't manage to see it clearly.

"Be careful. It's a type of spider that has lived here for many years. Its strength will not be simple."

Lu Jiu reminded.

The Corrupted Poison Butterfly from before had left a deep impression on him.

At the side, Song Shi finished his restoration and stepped onto the blood river.

He looked like he was walking on the waves, but in fact, he was just using Dharma treasures to fly.

Swoosh!

Before he could approach, white threads suddenly appeared in the building of this living area.

"Watch out for spider webs!"

Lu Jiu was already prepared. With a raise of his hand, a black chain stretched out like a poisonous snake, blocking the approaching spider web. However, the others were enveloped by the spider web.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The spider web contained terrifying corrosive properties. As soon as it entangled a person, it corroded his protective Essence Energy.

"Help me!"

The trapped person shouted in panic.

A golden fireball suddenly fell from the sky and exploded. The flames that contained destructive high temperatures spread and burned the spider web that was shot out secretly.

Song Shi appeared between them and stared at the manor. "This place looks like a coiled silk cave. There are spiders everywhere."

The trapped person seized the opportunity to escape and said gratefully to Song Shi, "Thank you, Elder Blood-robes!"

"Understood!"

Lu Jiu praised Song Shi. "Fellow Daoist Blood Robes, you came at the right time!"

As most of the people in the Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivated Yin cultivation techniques. Song Shi's methods made up for their shortcomings.

"Something like that. We have to follow the main group."

Song Shi did not comment. His gaze landed on the spider which was making strange sounds.

When these guys appeared, he realized that the alms bowl Dharma artifacts he had placed in his storage ring were heating up. He did not know if it was caused by these guys.

"Leave first. The guys here are not simple."

Mountain Moving Daoist said, "I really didn't expect there to be such a powerful living creature here."

He looked solemnly at a manor. It was densely packed with spider webs and there was a faint colossus entrenched in it.

If he wanted to pass through here and reach the center of the ruins, he would not be able to avoid this thing.

Through the crowd, Song Shi was also secretly sizing up the dangerous presence. He felt a great sense of danger from this thing. It was definitely not an ordinary demon beast.

To make him feel this way, this thing had to be at least at the Nascent Soul realm.

"Finally, I can find something else to kill me. It's you!"

Song Shi made up his mind to 'feed' this demon beast a few more times later.

Crack!

A house suddenly cracked open and a group of black-backed and white-bellied spiders crawled out with rustling sounds.

These spiders were all very big. The small ones were like millstones, and the big ones were comparable to a small building. They made the nearby buildings creak.

In the blink of an eye, no less than a hundred spiders appeared on the surrounding buildings. The mucus in their mouths squirmed and spat out corrosive spider webs again.

"Hmph!"

Ghost Butcher raised his hand, and a circle of black ghost wind appeared under his hand. It was like a spiral wind blade. As it spun quickly, it cut off the spider webs such that the spiderwebs did not hit them.

Lu Jiu looked into the depths coldly, "For you to cultivate to this level, even if you haven't cultivated a Demon Spirit, your intelligence won't be low. If you know what's good for you, don't provoke us!"

With a low roar and a rumbling sound, a black hairy limb stabbed into the roof like a steel bar. Then, a mountain-like body appeared from the manor, giving off an oppressive aura.

"What a huge spider!"

Lu Youyou, who had just returned to Lu Jiu's side upon Old Man Nightmare's persuasion, was dumbfounded as she looked at the big spider that had appeared on the roof.

"You still dare to come over? You really have a death wish. Let's attack together and kill it and all its descendants!"

Lu Jiu's face darkened. Just as he was about to strike first and gain the upper hand, a series of hissing sounds rang out. The nearby spiders opened their mouths one after another, and spider webs suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, they enveloped the nearby buildings and turned the area into a huge cage, trapping everyone inside.

Not only that, but more spider webs cut through space, separating everyone. It was a classic example of wanting to destroy them one by one.

"Attack quickly. We can't give them a chance!"

Lu Jiu sensed that something was wrong. He raised his hand and clapped down, launching a powerful attack.

Unfortunately, it was still too slow. There were many spiders around them, and in the blink of an eye, the white spiderweb had passed through the vicinity, separating everyone.

Lu Jiu and the others were not afraid of this, but it was also very troublesome to be entangled by the resilient spider web. Those who were weaker would be easily defeated at this time.

When Song Shi saw this, his eyes lit up. He took the initiative to rush towards the spider emperor on the roof.

The Pure Yang flame on his hand burned and the spider web melted the moment it came into contact with it.

"This guy!"

When Lu Youyou saw that Song Shi dared to rush over, she snorted, "You're really not afraid of death!"

When Lu Jiu saw Song Shi attack the spider emperor, a chain shot out from his hand, to wrap around the spider emperor through the spider webs.

"Elder Blood-robes, I'll control it. Think of a way to attack with the Pure Yang True Fire and force its children and grandchildren to return to help."

At this moment, Mountain Moving Daoist's body suddenly expanded. Black baleful aura and red flames erupted from his body and a terrifying explosive force was released.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a one hundred-foot-tall giant. Flames surged in his hand as he raised his hand and pulled with all his might, tearing apart many spiderwebs.

However, more spider webs appeared and entangled him.

"Damn it, I hate this kind of thing the most!"

Mountain Moving Daoist was a little angry. These spiders did not pose much of a threat, but the spider webs were very resilient. They were very effective against people like him who did not move fast.

"Don't waste your energy. I'll do it!"

The gray baleful aura on Ghost Butcher's body surged. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ghost-like existence that was hundreds of meters tall. It disappeared in a flash and ignored the dense spider webs as it charged towards the Spider Emperor.

Song Shi had just held a large fireball when he saw Ghost Butcher use a method similar to an evil ghost. It ignored the physical attack and grabbed at the Spider Emperor with its ghost claw.

With a scream, the Spider Emperor was severely injured. Its abdomen was dripping with blood. In its anger, it raised its spider legs and stabbed at Ghost Butcher like it was stabbing with spears.

These spider legs shattered the house and they pierced through Ghost Butcher's body like shadows.

Song Shi could not help but think of the big-headed ghost that could change its form back then. Clearly, the current Ghost Butcher was stronger.

"Don't kill it. I'm not dead yet."

Seeing that Ghost Butcher wanted to break the spider emperor's head with a sinister smile, Song Shi was a little anxious.

At this moment, a large snow-white spider web shot out with extreme coldness.

This spider web contained powerful energy and was also effective against the phantom shadows. As a cold aura spread, it successfully restricted Ghost Butcher's body.

Obviously, the Spider Emperor had no prior experience in dealing with Ghost Butcher. Now that it had reacted, it naturally had found a way to deal with him.

Song Shi seized the opportunity to get closer and threw a fireball at the spider emperor's face. The latter felt the pain and also gave Song Shi a taste of its spider web.

He was enveloped by the spider web. The cold force made his body stiffen quickly before he was pulled over.

The spider emperor's weak body was injured and it had the intention to retreat. It dragged Song Shi, who it deemed to have a high protein content and contained abundant flesh and blood essence, away and quickly retreated to its nest.

Ghost Butcher broke free from the spider web. When he turned around and saw that Song Shi was still behind him, he could not help but laugh. "This guy is injured and wants to eat something to replenish his energy. Unfortunately, the one he captured was only a clone. He's destined to not be full."

Song Shi, who was disguised as a clone, did not speak. He looked at the spider emperor's nest. It was a cave in a courtyard, covered in ice and spiderwebs.

In the cave, a spider leg flashed past and pierced through Song Shi's head, revealing cold spikes.

The spider emperor opened its mouth and bit at Song Shi's body. After two bites, the food in its mouth suddenly disappeared.

Song Shi appeared out of thin air and looked at the Spider Emperor with a smile. He threw out an array flag to block the detection outside and rushed towards the Spider Emperor.

The Spider Emperor was furious. Its legs, which were comparable to Dharma treasures, stabbed over again, nailing Song Shi, who had not activated his Defense at all, to the ice. Immediately, blood flowed out profusely.

However, three seconds later, it was looking at Song Shi, who had revived again, in shock and confusion.

What was this? Why couldn't this 'food' be killed?

173 Hellfire

It had grown up in this isolated ruin and lived for thousands of years. But it had never seen such strange food.

The reason why he felt that the other party was still food was mainly because this person did not resist much and was easily discoverable.

Crack! Crack!

The ice surface was nailed with holes. Blood splattered and disappeared. The Spider Emperor gradually collapsed.

It stared fixedly at Song Shi and attacked with all eight legs. A series of afterimages pierced out…

Outside, as the Spider Emperor retreated with injuries, the other spiders also retreated into the surrounding buildings like a tide, leaving behind crisscrossing spiderwebs.

"Who the f*ck left behind Frigid Snow Spiders? After so many years, they have multiplied into groups!"

Mountain Moving Daoist cursed as he destroyed the spider web that was entangling him and regained his freedom.

"The ruins here are very bountiful. I feel that they left in a hurry for some reason back then and left behind many good things."

Ghost Butcher got rid of the spider web and shrunk his body. He seemed to be in deep thought. "Of course, what they left behind might also be something they didn't need anymore."

Lu Jiu nodded and stared at the nest in the manor. Behind it was a small path that led to the depths. If he wanted to advance, he had to deal with the trouble in front of him.

"The demon cores of such demon beasts have Yin attributes. They're very suitable for the cultivators of our sect. Let's think of a way to kill more of them."

Mountain Moving Daoist looked at the Blood-Robed old ghost. "Use fire attribute methods to restrain these guys. Everyone, take out your fire attribute spirit stones."

Many people looked embarrassed.

Shi Tianya shook his head. "Uncle-Mountain Mover, I don't have any fire-attribute spirit stones."

"Take out everything you have. I'll set up an array formation to summon Hellfire and burn these guys' nests!"

Mountain Moving Daoist threw out his Dharma treasures. Then, he took out dark red stones with Fire runes engraved on them and arranged them according to a specific formation.

He formed a hand seal with one hand. With a puff, a circle of fire appeared and quickly formed a Fire Array Formation. Dark red flames condensed in the center.

"ROAR!"

The flames surged as a Fire Wolf appeared and roared at the sky with a violent aura.

"Throw the spirit stones in!"

Mountain Moving Daoist urged. He threw the spirit stones on his body into the Array Formation first. With a cry, the Fire Wolf's body quickly grew larger.

As everyone threw in fire attribute spirit stones, this Fire Wolf magically continued to grow. Soon, it became a huge Fire Wolf that was a hundred meters tall.

The Void shook, and the giant Fire Wolf walked towards the nest on the ground. It raised its claws and swiped, and most of the spiderwebs that sealed the surroundings instantly broke.

Song Shi's clone took another look and sent the information to his main body.

In the nest, Song Shi saw Mountain Moving Daoist's technique through his clone. He was slightly shocked. "This technique is powerful. It combines spells and Array Formations. Not only does the wolf have powerful might, but it can also move nimbly."

The Fire Wolf charged over. Even Song Shi, who was in the nest, could feel a heat wave surging over.

Sensing danger, the Spider Emperor hissed and ordered more of his children and grandchildren to charge out.

The black mass of spiders blocked the entrance of the cave and spat out a large number of spider webs. However, as soon as they came into contact with the hellish flames, they quickly turned into ashes with a sizzling sound.

"Evil creature, this Infernal Blaze is comparable to the True Samadhi Fire. Do you think a mere spider web can stop it?"

Mountain Moving Daoist sneered and changed his hand seals. The Fire Wolf opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire.

BOOM!

A bunch of spiders exploded, and many died.

In the air, the fragrance of roasted meat quickly spread.

BANG!

Something fell from the cave

A spider was blasted back. Its entire body was emitting black smoke and steam. It struggled a few times on the ice before it stopped breathing.

Song Shi sniffed and realized that its burnt corpse smelt quite fragrant. He could not help but drool.

"I haven't eaten meat in a long time. I didn't expect to be so hungry when I saw the spider meat."

He was a little speechless. He looked at the huge spider, "It's so big. The meat should be edible right?"

Just as he was considering if he should try it, the Spider Emperor's attention was attracted by the Fire Wolf outside.

Its mountain-like body moved and its eight legs moved as it nimbly crawled out of the cave.

"Hey, aren't you going to kill me?"

Song Shi was speechless. He was just a few more times away from leveling up, but this guy ran out and stopped killing him.

At this moment, the Spider Emperor was no longer in the mood to care about Song Shi, who could not be killed. It appeared at the entrance of the cave and looked at the Fire Wolf that was killing in all directions. A cold spider web shot out.

Its spider web was much stronger. Even Mountain Moving Daoist could not break free, so it had a restrictive effect on the Fire Wolf.

However, the Fire Wolf's entire body was made of flames. Under the shockingly high temperature, the power in the spiderweb quickly evaporated and could not withstand the burning.

The Fire Wolf quickly broke free and pounced at the Spider Emperor. The two of them started fighting at the entrance of the cave.

In the distance, Lu Jiu and the others approached, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Spider Emperor at any time.

However, there were many spiders here. They relied on the advantage of numbers to block everyone. Coupled with the restriction of the spider webs, they would not be able to kill their way through for a while. n0𝑣𝖾𝗅𝐮𝓢𝑏.𝗰0𝗆

Song Shi saw all of this. He slowly walked over and pulled out a spider leg. Then, his eyes lit up.

The meat on the spider's leg was snow-white, and it was appetizing just by looking at it. Song Shi took out some seasonings and sprinkled them on it. He took a bite and immediately widened his eyes, revealing a look of enjoyment.

Regardless of how heated the battle outside was, he leisurely walked into the depths of the nest. Cold air filled the air here, and the deeper he went, the colder it became.

As the terrain descended, the cave became deeper and deeper and the light became dimmer. In the end, he discovered a large piece of jade. This stone was like a bed, and there were runes engraved on it. There was a pile of egg-sized balls.

"The Spider Emperor's egg?"

Song Shi took a bite of the spider leg meat and strode over. Just as he was about to roast a spider emperor egg to eat, he found a jade token behind the egg. It was also filled with a cold aura.

"Looks good."

He reached out to pick up the jade token. The latter shone brightly and flew away, avoiding his hand and floated beside him.

Song Shi's eyes widened. When he saw the Will-O-Wisp fluctuations on the jade token and the dense runes, he could not help but be stunned. "Good lord, it's even a Numinous artifact!"

He reached out to grab it, but the token dodged again, not wanting to be caught by him.

"Damn you!"

Song Shi's expression darkened. Not long ago, he had been fantasizing about some Numinous artifacts coming to him to acknowledge him as their master. In the end, the Numinous artifacts were actually avoiding him.

As he compared himself to Chen Yiling, he felt like a loser.

"Why are you running? Come here!"

Song Shi transformed into a Phantom image and grabbed the jade token. The latter trembled, clearly unwilling to be held by him.

An ice-cold power was released through the jade token. Song Shi shivered as frost appeared on his body.

"It's so cold."

Before he could react, he turned into ice and was frozen by the token.

Song Shi's eyes darted around as he watched the token fly away again. He was so angry that he activated the Nine Yang Nomological power in his body and released wisps of golden flames to dispel the freezing power.

Crack.

After the ice shattered, Song Shi regained his mobility. However, he could not help but tremble. He looked at the token floating up and down in the distance as if it was mocking him. He was furious.

Report chapter Comments

"Damn it, I don't believe I still have to deal with a dead thing like you who don't even have an owner!"

Song Shi's stubborn temper flared up. In a flash, he closed in and grabbed it again.

Extreme freezing power surged over, freezing Song Shi's arm solid.

He hurriedly released the Pure Yang True Fire and forced the cold air back with difficulty. Then, he formed a seal and shot out runes that landed on it. He began to try to control this thing.

Just as he was about to forcefully subdue the Numinous artifact, a black shadow floated into the cave. Following that, a teasing voice sounded. "Heh, you really sneaked in. You want to secretly take the treasures for yourself, right?" n0𝒱𝓮𝗅𝑢𝑠𝔟.𝐜0𝐌

Song Shi's expression changed. He turned his head and stared at the rather arrogant Lu Youyou, frowning. "What do you mean by sneaking in? I came in with my own abilities."

"Hmph, you sneaked in. My father and the others are fighting very hard outside. You're the only one who's taking advantage of the situation right now."

Lu Youyou sneered.

Song Shi mocked, "Aren't you here to take advantage of me?"

"I'm different from you. Father let me in!"

Lu Youyou put her hands behind her back and clicked her tongue. "I didn't expect you to be such a person. You took the initiative to work so hard just now. So it's for this treasure."

The gray fog squirmed as Old Man Nightmare appeared beside him. He looked at the jade token in front of Song Shi. "Miss, these are Numinous artifacts. I really didn't expect these beasts' lairs to have such treasures."

As soon as he finished speaking, the token in front of Song Shi trembled and broke free. It collided with Lu Youyou and disappeared.

"…"

Song Shi was in the mood to curse. Now, he finally understood how the Perfected Lord of Treasures felt. The duck that was in his mouth had flown away.

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment before she laughed out loud, "Did you see that? You're not fated with the treasure."

Song Shi frowned. He definitely did not believe in fate.

If he guessed correctly, it was because the nature of his cultivation techniques and that thing countered each other, so the spiritual jade tokens and Numinous artifacts were unwilling to be controlled by him.

"It's just a lousy token. If I'm not fated, so be it."

Song Shi did not care too much. His body was the strongest weapon. Everything else was just icing on the cake.

He quickly composed himself and took a bite of the spider leg as if nothing had happened. He turned around and took out an insect egg from the ice jade bed and began to roast it with Pure Yang True Fire.

At the same time, he controlled his clone to enter and retrieve the Blood River Dharma treasures.

Song Shi continued to roast the eggs and a special egg fragrance appeared.

Although Lu Youyou said that, she swallowed her saliva and changed her words, "Roast one for me too."

"Why should I?"

Song Shi retorted.

"Because you stole the tea leaves I picked painstakingly!" Lu Youyou said righteously.

"You even snatched my Numinous artifact."

Song Shi pursed his lips and stopped her, "Shut up. I don't want to talk to you."

Seeing that Song Shi turned around and ignored her, Lu Youyou gritted her teeth and went to get the eggs herself.

Boom!

Just as her hand touched the egg, a loud bang exploded at the entrance of the cave. Instantly, the ground shook, and destructive waves of fire rushed in.

"Miss, be careful!"

Old Man Nightmare held a straw hat-shaped Dharma treasure in front of Lu Youyou and blocked the powerful force.

A golden bell-like energy barrier appeared on Song Shi's body, blocking the aftershock of the battle. He did not move at all.

Amidst the aftershocks, a large spider that was charred black and covered in wounds retreated in a sorry state. It happened to see Song Shi roasting his eggs. Its eyes instantly turned red as it charged back angrily.

However, after it saw Lu Youyou, it did not attack Song Shi immediately. Instead, it pounced onto Lu Youyou and Old Man Nightmare.

"Miss, retreat quickly!"

Old Man Nightmare had just reminded him when he was stuck to the spot by the spider web. With a bang, a hole was pierced through his straw hat Dharma treasures by the spider leg. If not for the fact that his clothes were also Dharma artifacts, he would probably have been injured on the spot.

However, this also sent him flying. The spider web was even more tightly wrapped around him, and he could not escape for a moment.

This made Lu Youyou face the Spider Emperor alone. Under the terrifying and fierce Aura, her face could not help but turn pale.

She was not so scared that she was in a daze. She hurriedly formed a seal and the purple bracelet on her wrist flew out. It quickly enlarged and turned into a purple barrier in front of her.

However, the moment the two sides came into contact, she was sent flying and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Blood-robed Elder!"

Old Man Nightmare could not break free from the spider web for a moment. He could only call out to Song Shi anxiously. At the same time, he chanted an incantation and formed a seal. A gray thread shot out and landed on the spider emperor's head. The latter's eyes were a little dazed, and his movements became slow. But he was not completely under Old Man Nightmare's control.

"You have something of it on you. Naturally, it's chasing you. Give it to me. I'll help you attract it to attack me instead."

Song Shi looked at the injured Lu Youyou quietly.

But you also have his egg."

Lu Youyou got up from the ground, not believing Song Shi's words.

"It only has one token, but there's a pile of eggs left."

Song Shi shook his head. "If you don't throw it away, I won't be able to help you. Don't blame me if you lose your life."

Lu Youyou hesitated. She looked at the spider emperor, who was clearly seriously injured but was still very terrifying. She gritted her teeth and opened her hand. A jade token appeared.

As expected, after seeing the token, the confusion in the Spider Emperor's eyes quickly dissipated. A ferocious aura erupted, and his movements suddenly became faster.

Lu Youyou was shocked and hurriedly threw the token away, but Song Shi, who was already prepared, grabbed it.

"Hehe, I got it back!"

Golden light flickered in Song Shi's palm. This time, he did not use fire-attribute power. Instead, he used metal-attribute power to forcefully suppress it.

Other than the Fire Spirit Root, he also had the Metal Spirit Root. However, his powers were all in his Spirit Body and he did not cultivate any individual Dharmic powers.

The metal and ice did not counter each other. The latter trembled and gradually calmed down.

"You still dare to take it? You have a death wish!"

Seeing that Song Shi dared to accept something that the Spider Emperor valued, Lu Youyou snorted and quickly retreated.

At this moment, the Spider Emperor's attention was indeed on Song Shi again. With a scream, Old Man Nightmare spat out blood. His Crowd Control spell was broken and he suffered a backlash.

The Spider Emperor broke free from the Control and turned around to charge at Song Shi.

Splash!

A black chain suddenly shot in from the entrance of the cave. It wrapped around its thigh like a venomous snake and pulled it out. Then, more chains rushed in.

This was Lu Jiu's timely attack. His Soul Lock Chain was not simple. With a pull, the spider emperor's soul loosened. For a moment, it was difficult to control its body, and its movements became stiff.

"Dad!"

Lu Youyou was pleasantly surprised. Then, she said in frustration, "Damn it, even if I didn't throw out the Black Ice Token, I would have still been fine. This guy must have sensed that Father was coming, so he tricked me into throwing the treasure back to him."

At this moment, Song Shi deliberately grinned at Lu Youyou. "You're right. I'm just fooling you."

Just as Lu Youyou was so angry that her eyebrows shot up, Song Shi's eyes flashed with golden light and his entire aura changed drastically.

Just now, he looked ordinary and did not have much strength, but at this moment, he was like a volcano erupting. He took a step forward and slid down, instantly moving under the spider emperor's stomach.

"Dragon in the Sky!"

He mobilized a large amount of Nomological power and gathered the power of his Spirit Body in his palm. The attack of the Dragon Subduing Palm erupted.

Boom!

A bloody hole appeared in the spider emperor's stomach. Its huge body was sent flying, shattering many rocks on the ceiling.

Song Shi drew his sword and chased with his Gust Wind Sword skill.

"DIE!"

With a low shout, he cut off the Spider Emperor's head.

Report chapter Comments

The Spider Emperor spat out blood, leaving a pool of liquid on the cave wall.

His decapitated body fell to the ground. He did not struggle much and then stopped moving.

The Spider Emperor's soul had already been destroyed by Song Shi's sword qi and was dead.

"Nice kill!"

The chains binding the Spider Emperor quickly loosened. Lu Jiu flew in in a flash. As he retrieved the chains and Dharma treasures, he smiled and nodded at Song Shi, as if he did not care that Song Shi had taken advantage of the chaos to run in.

In this ruin, the Spider Emperor was more of a hindrance that prevented them from continuing to explore deeper. Therefore, they had to kill him as soon as possible.

However, this thing was a powerful demon beast after all. Other than its abdomen, its other parts were very firm. Its spider legs were even stronger than ordinary Dharma treasures. The spider web was powerful and restrictive. It also had many children and grandchildren. If Song Shi did not kill it, they would probably need to waste more effort passing through his lair.

"It's nothing much."

Song Shi smiled. He suddenly attacked not to show off in front of everyone, but purely to snatch the kill.

No, it was more like snatching the opportunity to kill.

Now that it was getting more and more difficult to obtain a lucky draw opportunity, he naturally could not miss it.

"Damn it, he's being pretentious again!"

Lu Youyou roared in her heart, as she was a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

She scoffed. "At least you have some self-awareness. Without my father and Grandpa Mountain Mover seriously injuring this spider emperor, would you have a chance?"

"You can't even kill him, why are you making these sarcastic remarks?"

Song Shi's words almost made Lu Youyou choke.

She could only twist her words. "When I reach the Golden Core Formation stage, I will be able to kill him."

"When I form my Nascent Soul, I can kill it alone without anyone's help."

Song Shi pursed his lips.

"You!"

Lu Youyou was so angry that she took a deep breath and could only change the topic. "Father, he snatched my Numinous artifact, the Black Ice Token."

Ghostly shadows swayed as Ghost Butcher and Shi Tianya entered. The former frowned. "This beast also has Numinous artifacts?"

"No wonder it ran back. It probably wants to use the power of the Numinous artifacts to turn the battle around and attack us."

"Yes, I obtained the Numinous artifact, but it was cheated away by him."

Lu Youyou was about to cry. She pointed at Song Shi with an aggrieved expression, "This person is so bad. He even lies to little girls."

"You're a little girl?"

Song Shi sized up Lu Youyou, who was no longer small, and said angrily, "You were the one who was so frightened by the Spider Emperor that you threw out the Numinous artifact in your hands and begged me to help me shoulder its killing intent. Now, you're distorting the truth?"

"I didn't beg you!"

Lu Youyou hurriedly looked over, "Grandpa Nightmare, what you saw just now was him tricking me into giving up the Black Ice Token."

Old Man Nightmare was dealing with the spider web. When he heard the Miss call him out, he said helplessly, "Indeed, she was not begging."

"Right? He's the one who fooled me. Hurry up and take out the Black Ice Token. It's more suitable for it to be with me."

Lu Youyou stretched out her fair hand.

Lu Jiu did not speak. He had indeed felt an icy aura just now. It should be the Black Ice Token that his daughter had mentioned. If it was a Numinous artifact, it was indeed quite precious.

At this moment, Shi Tianya said, "Blood-robed Elder, since it's your fault and it doesn't match your attributes, it's better to return it to Youyou."

"That's right. Why are you, a man, trying to fool a little girl?"

Fang Gang agreed. He would definitely stand on Lu Youyou's side.

Song Shi crossed his arms and his expression turned cold, "Shut up. You both are not qualified to get involved in this matter."

Shi Tianya and Fang Gang's expressions darkened. This fellow was too arrogant. Why was he still acting like this in front of so many people?

Mountain Moving Daoist walked in tiredly. When he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he looked at Lu Jiu. "What's going on? Aren't you going to collect the spoils of war?"

"The greatest spoil of war is on him. It's a Numinous artifact. This blood-robed elder seems to want to keep it for himself."

Another elder replied sarcastically.

"Oh, I thought that the most valuable things were the Spider Emperor's body and demon cores. I didn't expect there to be Numinous artifacts. Everyone took down this place together, yet you want to monopolize it?"

Mountain Moving Daoist was very displeased. He was the main attacker and had contributed the most. He definitely did not want to see this person take away the most precious Numinous artifact.

"If I take it all for myself, will you kill me?"

Song Shi chuckled. His words made the atmosphere turn solemn.

"Elder Blood Robes, don't joke around. This joke isn't good."

Ghost Butcher said coldly.

At that moment, Song Shi really thought of provoking these guys to kill him. In the end, he gave up because doing so was indeed a little immoral.

He said indifferently, "This thing is naturally everyone's common spoils of war, but before taking it out, I still have to make it clear. Firstly, I've encountered this jade token first. Secondly, this thing should at most be shared by everyone. At most, I'll give it to the Sect Master. She's not qualified to own it."

"You're not qualified!"

Lu Youyou hated it when people looked down on her. She almost scratched Song Shi's face.

"Heh heh, it's good that the blood-robed elder knows his limits. You did indeed contribute by killing the Spider Emperor, but it's not to the extent of directly being awarded a Numinous artifact." n0𝒱𝓮𝗅𝑢𝑠𝔟.𝐜0𝐌

Lu Jiu squeezed out a smile, "Besides, these Numinous artifacts aren't very suitable for you. How about you give me one of the Spider Emperor's spider legs? This is also a good refining material. If you encounter suitable Numinous artifacts in the future, I'll give them to you first. How about that?"

He did not force Song Shi to take it out just now. It was too humiliating for Song Shi and could easily cause internal strife. Now that Song Shi did not act recklessly, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Lu Youyou, learn more. Otherwise, what right do you have to take over your father's position?"

Song Shi threw out the token and walked over to cut off the largest spider leg before leaving.

Such top-grade artifact refinement materials were indeed quite precious. They were qualified to be used to refine top-grade Dharma treasures and even Numinous artifacts. They were worth more than ten thousand spirit stones. He could use the materials he had drawn previously to refine a Dharma treasure along with this spider leg.

Lu Youyou did not feel the thrill of victory when she saw Song Shi leave leisurely.

Although she had successfully gotten Song Shi to take out the Black Ice Token, she had not gained any benefits.

"Youyou, you have to know how to be kind. Don't bicker with your own people all day."

Lu Jiu shook his head helplessly at his daughter, "I'll keep this token first. We'll discuss it before deciding who it belongs to."

He raised his hand and his Nomological power transformed into chains. He wrapped them around the token and took it over to check.

"These are ancient characters. They look like some kind of identity token. Why are they here?"

Ghost Butcher leaned over and took a few looks, "Could this be the key to some place? For example, to enter that space?"

"I don't think so. Who would leave the key to enter their house outside?"

Mountain Moving Daoist did not agree.

"This Numinous artifact is quite special. Let's study them carefully. As for the others, deal with the battlefield. After resting for a while, we'll move to the next point."

After Lu Jiu made the arrangements, he began to observe the Black Ice Token with Ghost Butcher, Mountain Moving Daoist, and the others.

Song Shi walked out of the hole and was not unhappy about having to give away the token.

Everyone had a share of this. If Lu Youyou hadn't seen it, he would have monopolized it, but since she had, he was too embarrassed to take it all for himself.

"Why did the alms bowl heat up when I encountered the token just now?"

Song Shi thought of the reaction of the Dharma artifacts alms bowl on him and was a little puzzled.

The alms bowl was only a Dharma artifact. Why would it react to the Numinous artifact? Could there be some special connection between both?

The image of how similar the ruins were to the alms bowl suddenly appeared in front of him.

That alms bowl was used to refine Gu, could it be that this ruin had a similar effect and that they were the Gu?

Report chapter Comments

However, this did not make sense. This was a sect ruin to begin with.

Song Shi could not figure it out, so he decided not to think about it. He took out the alms bowl and observed it. At the same time, he injected his strength to see if there was anything special.

Clang!

A sword hum appeared in the distance. Song Shi looked over and saw a bean of sword light rushing out of Chen Yiling's body.

At the same time, in the Spider Emperor's cave at the side, the Black Ice Token shone brightly.

All over the basin, other items of the same level suddenly activated their powers. Cultivators who were controlling the Numinous artifacts sensed it and turned to look at Song Shi.

Song Shi's expression changed. He was a little surprised.

"What's going on? It can actually resonate with so many Numinous artifacts. I even feel like I can affect them."

He was bewildered. He looked at the center of the basin and felt that something was amiss.

Recalling the runes on the alms bowl, Song Shi suddenly felt that everyone was like insects that had been attracted over.

He subconsciously wanted to put away the alms bowl in his hand, but he held back.

He was not afraid of death. Wouldn't it be good to use the alms bowl to attract some fellows with ulterior motives?

On the Sky Demon Cult's side, Lu Bingxuan sensed something and stopped at Song Shi's position for a moment. He didn't pay much attention to the rather ordinary alms bowl in Song Shi's hand and immediately landed in the cave.

His attributes were ice, and the power emitted by the Black Ice Token attracted him even more.

The others also glanced at Song Shi. No one felt that the commotion just now was related to the Dharma artifacts in Song Shi's hands that were not even Dharma treasures.

When everyone was alarmed, Lu Jiu brought everyone out and quickly cleaned up the battlefield, starting to search for nearby buildings.

There were indeed other things in the house, but none of them could compare to that token. The most precious thing was a few Dharma treasures.

Of course, perhaps the materials and techniques used to make these ancient magic treasures were better, and their power was stronger than those of the same level today.

Just as they were about to go to the next location, two furious shouts sounded from afar.

"Old Poison, how dare you!"

"Stop!"

Everyone could not help but jump onto the roof and look into the distance. They saw a person from the Heavenly Poison Sect holding a ginseng that looked like a carrot. He was retreating with a smug expression and meeting up with his disciples.

"Hehe, since you don't dare to take it, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't take it?"

This person was the sect master of the Heavenly Poison Sect. It was rumored that he had refined a hundred types of poison and was known as the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons. Others liked to call him Old Poison.

It was precisely because he had exceptional poison techniques that he seized the opportunity to secretly snatch the Ye Family's ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

The Ye Family could not be blamed for being too slow. The main reason was that the Poison Butterfly would destroy the nearby medicinal herbs when it died. They were worried that the most precious ten-thousand-year-old ginseng would also be destroyed, so they had been handling the Poison Butterfly carefully, which gave the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons a chance to sneak in.

The people of the Sky Poison Sect seemed to like to cover their faces with black cloth. The group of people confronted the Ye Clan, and for a moment, the atmosphere was filled with gunpowder.

The Ye Family and the independent cultivators following them did not dare to act rashly. The most powerful thing about the fellow in front of them was not Dharma treasures or spells, but poison that could kill people without leaving a trace!

"Old Poison, do you want to start a war with the Ye Family?"

The patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Wenzhong, narrowed his eyes and stared at the old poisonous creature with killing intent. Anger flickered in his eyes, and his beard and hair stood on end.

"I'm helping you. Why are you wasting your time on a few medicinal herbs? There are still good treasures ahead."

Old Poison chuckled in response.

"You have to know that we've lost many people here. It's impossible for us to leave empty-handed!"

Ye Wenzhong took a step forward, and boundless Nomological power was released from his body, forming a circle of golden waves, like a golden-armored god.

His cultivation level had reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. Although this was nothing exceptional among the experts here and his cultivation level could even be considered slightly low, so he had every reason to start a war to ask for this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

However, the Ye Family had the Golden Bloodline that was known to be the strongest in combat. With the support of the golden divine body, although they were only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, they cultivated both immortal and martial arts. Their combat strength was comparable to ordinary perfected Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

Hence, his title was not Perfected Lord, but Golden Martial Emperor. Among the martial artists of Great Qian, his power was second only to the Martial Emperor of Great Qian.

"You have to understand that I won't throw out what I've got."

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons was not afraid at all. So what if his golden divine body was powerful? As the sect master of the Sky Poison Sect, he was not an ordinary person either.

BOOM!

Golden blood surged out like an ocean. It was majestic and bright, and a powerful aura erupted, making one's mind tremble.

"Since you're not returning it, I'll kill you!"

Ye Wenzhong was burning with anger. Amidst cracking sounds, a set of golden armor appeared on his body. Holding a Spear, he completely transformed into a Golden Battle God and rushed over. His surging aura made many people from the Heavenly Poison Sect change their expressions.

"Die!"

The other disciples of the Ye Family were also in combat mode. Golden light surged out of their eyes and instantly turned into a golden color. They led the many secret cultivators and charged over.

They all knew that they had to teach these people a lesson. Otherwise, they would only push their luck and continue to take advantage of them.

A chaotic battle broke out. The two factions fought over a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

The other factions, be it demon beasts or humans, were only watching from afar.

Whether the Ye Family or the Heavenly Poison Sect won, either outcomes would benefit them.

Song Shi calmly looked at the two factions fighting over the treasure. He secretly memorized the methods of these people. If there was a chance, he wanted to experience death through their hands.

Hong Luo from the Sky Demon Cult sneered. "This old poisonous thing is really good at finding trouble. They better not expect us to help them later."

"They probably want to use the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ginseng to nurture that thing."

Lu Bingxuan seemed to know something and shook his head, "Ignore them. Hurry up and take the treasures inside. Don't lose the watermelon because of sesame seeds[1."Lose the watermelon because of sesame seeds" is a Chinese phrase that is used to refer to losing a big opportunity because of something small] ."

He was not the only one. The major factions that had entered the entire ruin also had the same thought.

There were Numinous artifacts in the periphery, so there might be Numinous treasures in the depths. Whoever went in first would have a chance of obtaining them.

They only paid attention to the battle between the two sides, while they quickly walked towards the core area to attack the array formation at the more important nodes.

As the Array Formation became stronger, the various Nascent Soul realm cultivators attacked one after another. Powerful Nomological power fluctuations surged, causing the wind in the basin to roll back, and the waves of miasma decreased.

"These old guys are finally attacking with all their might!"

Song Shi thought to himself. He carefully observed the experts of the various large factions. The power that erupted from some of them was slightly stronger than Lu Jiu's. n0𝑽𝐄𝒍𝑈𝚜𝒷.𝓬0𝔪

"That's great. There are existences here with 2-digits levels who can easily kill me."

He licked his lips excitedly. Others would be afraid when they met a powerhouse, but he was only excited.

"When is Sky Demon Cult's vice cult master going to avenge his son? I can't wait."

Song Shi looked at Lu Bingxuan, who was leading a team to attack the Weapon Pavilion. There might be Numinous treasures that surpassed Numinous artifacts inside.

Such temptation caused Lu BingXuan to make a move as well.

At this moment, the Demon Slayers Division was attacking the alchemy room, the Qianzheng Academy was attacking the Myriad Laws Pavilion, and the Heaven Secret Office was cracking the Scripture Depository. The two major factions, the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and the joint trading companies were also attacking the core node.

For a moment, all the powerhouses present displayed their abilities.

"Those who can cultivate the Nascent Soul realm are basically geniuses. Their foundations are not bad. Be it the Great Mastery Spirit Body or the Connate Divine Body, their advantages over each other are not much."

177 Misunderstanding

Seeing the various leaders and upper echelons of the various large factions display their divine powers, Song Shi fell into deep thought.

Even if these leaders were in the same realm as some riff-raff, the difference in strength was huge.

The worst cultivators were the lone cultivators who followed the Ye Family. At this moment, many of them had already been killed by the Heavenly Poison Sect cultivators.

"The difference in equipment is big indeed."

Song Shi muttered.

Looking at the array formation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect attacking a hall, he shook his head secretly.

As a Grade Six Array Master second only to the Perfected Heavenly Star Lord, he could see that the grade of the array in the core area had not changed much, yet its defense had increased greatly.

It was already impossible to break it with the strength of just a sect.

"You're slacking at the side again."

Now that Lu Youyou had her eyes on Song Shi, she was very unhappy to see him looking around.

"Could it be that you like me?"

Song Shi found it strange. Why did this woman keep pestering him?

"Pfft, who would like you!"

Lu Youyou snorted. "You're the one who didn't follow the rules."

"Haven't I done enough?"

Song Shi crossed his arms. "I put in a lot of effort at the tea garden. I even killed the spider emperor. What's wrong with taking a break?"

Lu Youyou moved her lips and realized that this fact was indeed not easy for her to refute.

"Don't give me any more trouble, or I'll make you pregnant."

Song Shi said bluntly.

"You're shameless!"

Lu Youyou didn't know how to respond, and her face turned red.

"Watch your mouth!" Shi Tianya said darkly.

Lu Jiu's face darkened too when he heard this. He turned around and said, "Elder Blood-robes, we still have to be more refined among fellow disciples."

"Sect Master, I didn't even curse. I'm already being elegant enough.

Song Shi shook his head. Those with bad tempers would probably already bring up Lu Jiu's wife or his other deceased family members.

Lu Jiu frowned. When this Blood-Robed old ghost became famous back then, he was also known to be extremely temperamental. He burned, killed, plundered and committed all kinds of evil. He was really afraid that his daughter would suffer. n0𝓋𝐞𝓛𝓤𝑆𝚋.𝒸0𝓂

He turned around and said, "Do your own thing and ignore the others."

Lu Youyou was depressed when she heard that. Her father was biased towards the old ghost again.

Song Shi sat on the path in front of the plaza and said meaningfully, "Don't waste your energy. The fact that the two factions didn't break through the Weapon Pavilion despite working together means that the ruins in the core area can't be broken through by one faction alone."

Just as he said this, the Scripture Depository rumbled and an entrance was opened by The Perfected Heavenly Star Lord.

The people from the Heaven Secret Office quickly entered. Then, the Array Formation closed and isolated them from the outside world again.

Lu Youyou chuckled, "Didn't you say that no sect can break it alone?"

Song Shi was slightly embarrassed and did not answer. He only sized up Lu Youyou with ill intentions.

The latter could not help but think of what Song Shi had just said, and his expression became uncomfortable.

"Stop first."

Lu Jiu gave the order. He also noticed this problem. The power of the array formation in the core area was much stronger than the outside. It was a little difficult to break it with brute force.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed beside him and a figure appeared. "Lu Jiu, are you interested in working together?"

In the air, a jade coffin descended from the sky and stabbed into the youth's side with a bang.

This young man was dressed in an ancient long robe. His face was cold and hard, and his expression was domineering. His muscles and bones were like jade, and his entire body was fluorescent.

Song Shi was shocked. He could no longer tell whether the zombie was a dead person. This realm was indeed not simple.

"Ying Kun, I was also looking for you."

When Lu Jiu saw the latter, he nodded slightly. "Which side do you want to break?"

"Wait a minute."

Ying Kun looked at Song Shi, "Why do you have the Hiderigami bloodline contract on you?"

"How did you find out?"

Song Shi was shocked. His contract had been discovered. Wasn't his original identity about to be exposed?

No, when he signed the contract, his identity wasn't exposed. It shouldn't be that bad.

"How can I not discover it?!"

Ying Kun was expressionless. "Since you have a contract, you are considered half a member of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Lu Jiu, if he dies, remember to give us his corpse. You know, signing a contract means that his body is ours."

"Oh? Blood-robed Elder, do you have an agreement with the Heavenly Corpse Sect?"

Lu Jiu was surprised.

"I signed it!"

A scarlet stone coffin flew over and landed on the ground with a bang.

A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar stood up and bowed to Ying Kun. "Emperor Kun, I met this person in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range. I saw that his physical talent was very good, so I formed a contract with him."

He introduced respectfully, "I've specially investigated him afterwards. This person's original name is Song Shi. He's the son of a concubine of a mortal family in Silken City. By chance, he became related to a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace and stepped onto the cultivation path. He's even had affiliations with the Demon Slayers. Back then, he went to the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range on a mission and I bumped into him. Later on, he probably encountered the Blood-Robed old ghost and his body was possessed."

The more Song Shi listened, the worse his expression became. Damn it, why was this fellow so diligent? He actually investigated his entire background.

"Yes, possession is nothing. We only need a physical body."

Ying Kun nodded and sized up Song Shi, "Your physique is indeed not bad. You found a good seedling for the Crimson Emperor."

"I didn't expect the Blood-Robed old ghost to improve this body by so much. Remember, our contract is still the same. You can look for us before you die."

Su Tian smiled.

At this moment, a purple light suddenly pressed down on Song Shi, and the Void suddenly became solemn.

Lu Jiu raised his head and shouted: "Fairy Zi Yue, what are you doing?"

Unknowingly, a voluptuous and beautiful young woman in palace attire had appeared beside them. She had a dignified aura and a mature charm. At this moment, her sparkling eyes were filled with coldness.

"Song Shi is an elder of the Yao Moon Palace, so I naturally have to ask you all some questions."

Lu Youyou was speechless, "What other identities does this guy have? Why is he related to the three major forces?"

Lu Jiu frowned. Was the background of the person possessed by the Blood-Robed old ghost so complicated?

Zi Yue stared at Song Shi. "Show me your true colors!"

Song Shi didn;t know whether to cry or laugh. This was a little chaotic. Not only had his identity been exposed, but he had also been misunderstood.

At this point, he didn't pretend anymore. He simply formed a seal with his hands and his muscles and bones began to squirm.

"Thousand Transformations!"

Zi Yue exclaimed, "Looks like Lu Yue is doomed. I don't know if she was killed by you or him."

Under her gaze, Song Shi turned into a handsome young man in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, he still looked like he had just come of age. He looked quite young and mature and was in his youth.

This stunned many people. Other than Lu Jiu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators who were used to it, the other disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect had interesting expressions.

"He was hiding under a pretense before. I actually couldn't tell."

"So this is who he really is."

"He's so young. He doesn't look like he's even twenty, right?"

Lu Youyou was quite shocked. She did not expect Song Shi to look like he was not much older than her.

"It's really you!"

Zi Yue had a solemn expression and sighed. "Blood-Robed old ghost, you killed my benefactor. I will avenge him."

Shi Tianya and the others immediately revealed gloating expressions. At the same time, they were a little curious. How could the person that this old ghost possessed be indebted to this newly advanced Nascent Soul realm cultivator from the Yao Moon Palace?

Zi Yue did not say anything else and they did not pay much attention to it. In any case, this Blood-Robed old ghost was unlucky. Since Zi Yue had said this in front of everyone, she would definitely not go easy on him.

Song Shi did not know what to say. This misunderstanding that he had caused was a little too big.

178 Spirit Soil

"Just don't destroy his body when you take revenge."

Ying Kun did not care at all. He only needed his body to nurture elites.

"Fairy Zi Yue, if you want to take revenge, now is not the time. We are going to break the formation. If you are interested, you can join us. When the time comes, we will split the treasures according to how much effort we put in."

"We're temporarily cooperating with Sky Demon Cult, so we won't be collaborating with you guys."

Zi Yue took a deep look at Song Shi before turning to leave.

!!

She did not reject him because of Song Shi. It was mainly because this ruin was so big that there was no need for the three factions to join forces.

Song Shi looked at Zi Yue and thought to himself, "This woman is worth befriending. Back then, when I helped her from her Nascent Soul, she really treated me as her benefactor."

"Tsk tsk, you have another enemy now."

Lu Youyou crossed her arms and gloated.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Song Shi turned around and walked into the distance, arriving at the area that had become a mess because of the battle.

The original herb garden was in tatters. The Heavenly Poison Sect and Ye Family both suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Ye Family did not manage to snatch back the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. Now, their aura was extremely weak from all their losses. The people from the Heavenly Poison Sect did not gain much.

The two sides temporarily stopped fighting because they were on guard against each other. When they sensed Song Shi approaching, the people on the periphery glared at him fiercely.

"Continue."

Song Shi smiled and stood at the side.

Ye Wenzhong ignored him and glared at the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons. "Alright, Old Poison, I will admit defeat today. You'd better keep a look out for us in the future!"

With a gloomy face, he left with his own people, leaving behind the corpses of a few rogue cultivators who had no relatives or friends behind.

Of course, the valuables on these corpses must have been plundered already.

"You're threatening me? Ridiculous!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons looked at their two dead elders and frowned slightly. "Bring the corpses along." n0𝐕𝑒𝓵𝓤𝑠𝒃.𝗰0𝚖

The group of people also left quickly.

At that moment, Song Shi patted the blood belt on his waist. A circle of sanguine light was released and landed on the rogue cultivator's corpse. The flesh essence was immediately absorbed by the quasi-Numinous artifacts.

Some people sneered and could tell that this was the Blood-Robed old ghost's trademark method. They further confirmed in their heart that Song Shi was the Blood-Robed old ghost.

"Wasn't this Blood-Robed old ghost quite impressive in the past? Now, he's been reduced to picking up corpses?"

"Haha, is that really the vicious Blood-Robed old ghost?"

"Kid, are you mute?"

Lu Youyou was initially angry because of Song Shi's words. Seeing that he did not do anything to help and actually ran to collect someone's corpse, she rolled her eyes. "I think he's crazy."

Faced with the ridicule, Song Shi was expressionless as he walked to the herb garden.

He formed a seal and pointed at the ground. A ball of brilliant light was pulled out of the soil. This was a piece of greenish-black soil that was only the size of a fist, but it contained abundant Spiritual Energy and some mysterious power.

"Indeed, there's something that's at least comparable to Numinous artifacts. These fellows don't know the Array Formation and layout. They were actually picking up sesame seeds and throwing away a watermelon[1."Picking up sesame seeds and throwing away a watermelon" is a Chinese phrase that meant that one had sacrificed bigger and better opportunities due to being too short sighted] ."

Song Shi was proud. Compared to directly obtaining the Black Ice Jade Token, being able to find something others could not was better.

"Spiritual Soil!"

"Damn it, there's actually divine soil here that's even more precious than ten-thousand-year-old ginseng!"

"I was wondering why this guy ran over like a dog. So it's because he was targeting the treasures here."

The few people who were mocking Song Shi just now were dumbfounded on the spot. It turned out that they were the stupid ones to not have discovered the real treasure here.

Spiritual Soil was a low-level Breathing Soil that carried a strand of divinity, it was able to absorb the essence of the heavens and the earth to grow.

Of course, this growth rate was very slow. It might not grow much in ten thousand years, but it could change the soil and turn normal soil into spiritual soil, thereby promoting the growth of various spiritual herbs.

The Spirit Soil in front of him was the core of the medicinal field, and it was also an important factor in the growth of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.

It could be said that with this Spiritual Soil, it could quickly produce a high-grade Spiritual Field and grow all kinds of medicinal herbs. It was definitely very precious to large factions.

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons and the Ye Family Head had ugly expressions. Neither of them noticed the spirit soil at the bottom of the medicinal field and thought that the ten thousand-year-old ginseng was created by time.

"Kid, I don't care if you're the Blood-Robed old ghost or not. If you know what's good for you, hand over the spiritual soil!"

A large amount of golden light appeared in front of Song Shi, and an oppressive aura crushed down on him without hesitation.

Ye Wenzhong stood in the air like a god that had descended to the mortal world. His eyes were like torches, domineering and fierce.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Ye Family's Golden Core Realm cultivators moved with the wind and surrounded Song Shi, blocking his escape route.

"Hand it over!"

"This belongs to the Ye Family!"

The people from the Ye Family crossed their arms. Their gazes were hard and the corners of their mouths contained a cold smile.

They had been taken advantage of by the old poisonous creature from the Heaven Demon Sect just now and thought that they had suffered a huge loss. In the end, this person dug out the Spirit Soil making them suffer an even bigger loss.

If they could retrieve it, the value of the Spiritual Soil would be higher than that of the ten thousand-year-old Spiritual Ginseng, and their losses would be compensated.

Under the threat of the powerhouses, Song Shi calmly put away the spiritual soil and released a circle of blood light.

"You have a death wish!"

Seeing that not only did Song Shi not obediently hand over the item, but he even dared to attack, anger jumped out of Ye Wenzhong's eyes on the spot.

Behind Song Shi, a middle-aged man with sunken eyes had a dark gaze. He held a long sword and Dharma treasures in his hand. His body flickered with golden light and his skin turned golden as he stabbed out with his sword.

The golden edge of the sword blade instantly broke through the blood light and stabbed into Song Shi's back. The sharp sword aura pierced through his chest and left a deep crack on the ground.

This person was an elite of the Ye Family. He had the Golden Bloodline and a deep foundation. Among those of the same level, only geniuses were his match.

However, when he saw that his sword had pierced through Song Shi's heart, the other party did not even seem to dodge. He frowned slightly and his golden eyes were filled with suspicion.

"This must be a fake body. Don't be fooled!"

The people beside him thought that they had seen through Song Shi's tricks.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the bloody figure turned into bubbles and disappeared.

"This is Blood-Robed old ghost's Bloodseeker Light!"

"It seems that you've also cultivated the Substitution Technique. What you attacked just now was only a substitute formed by the blood light."

The few of them voiced out their guesses. Their expressions became even more unfriendly as they stared at the blood light.

The blood river squirmed and the smell of blood permeated the air. Indeed, another Song Shi appeared. It was unknown if it was real or fake this time, but it looked very real.

Nomological powers surged around their bodies, blocking the demonic light that could transform into human flesh. They quickly took a step back. This step was a hundred feet, and they began surrounding Song Shi's blood river in the middle.

"I can do it alone!"

It was still the same person who had attacked just now. He had a proud expression as he walked towards Song Shi with his sword. Domineering Dharmic powers were released from his body like a tsunami, seemingly endless.

Song Shi stood in the blood river and looked at the elite of the Ye Family. He grinned, revealing his white teeth with a hint of mockery.

He took a step forward and the blood light moved with him. With a bang, he also took the initiative to rush out.

"This guy really has a death wish. He still dares to attack after being surrounded by us!"

The people who were watching the show looked unhappy. This behavior was disrespecting them too much.

Crack!

The moment the blood-red light and the golden light came into contact, a soaring sharpness slashed out. Song Shi's figure was sent flying with blood all over his body. His head and body were even separated.

Song Shi died again. Of course, in the eyes of the Ye Family Elites, the one who died was not really him.

Report chapter Comments

Ye Wenzhong was still looking down at both sides of the battle. When he saw Song Shi emerge from the blood river again, his eyes turned even colder.

This fellow's methods were too strange. He felt that the clone or incarnation just now was very similar to his main body. Even he did not know of such a strange cultivation technique, so how did this fellow obtain it?

The gloomy middle-aged man killed the other party with another strike, but he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

"Stop playing tricks. Let's see how many doppelgangers you can have!"

He sneered and transformed into the Golden Battle King. He held his sword with both hands and charged towards the blood river alone. With a single strike, a portion of the blood river was torn apart.

!!

It could be seen that the Golden Divine Body was indeed very powerful. This person's cultivation was only at the beginning stage of the Golden Core realm, but his strength was even stronger than some ordinary genius cultivators at the intermediate stage of the Golden Core realm.

Unfortunately, the stronger he was, the better it was for Song Shi.

The sharp Domineering Sword Qi sliced apart Song Shi's figure, but the blood river did not weaken at all. Soon, another blood shadow charged out.

Song Shi discovered that after combining the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique with the Clone Technique and the Blood River Dharma treasures, it was very difficult for others to figure out his exact situation.

Basically, no matter how he died, he did not have to worry that this person would discover his secret. Even if they sensed that something was wrong, they would attribute it to his methods being strange.

In the bloody light, Song Shi took the initiative to be killed by the other party with his sword.

Fortunately, this guy had a strong physique and had cultivated some kind of sword technique. His close combat attack was powerful.

Otherwise, even if he did not set up his Defense, it would be difficult for the other party to kill him with one strike.

However, on the eighth try, along with the number of deaths he had accumulated from the Spider Emperor, his body had reached the limit of its level.

His Physique transformed once again and became a mid-grade Diamond Spirit Body. Even without using any defensive means, the toughness of his body had increased significantly.

When he went to court death again, the latter's sword was stuck, unable to cut him cleanly in half.

"Yo, you don't have any strength left? Your combat strength is not that good."

Song Shi smiled as blood-red light surged. This was the power of the quasi-Numinous artifacts, the Blood River, constantly corroding the other party.

"Ignorant fool, I'll let you taste the power of the Ye Family's bloodline!"

A cold light flickered in his dark eyes. The blood of this middle-aged man called Ye Fengtian boiled, and a violent Nomological power was released like a volcano.

BOOM!

The Void trembled, and his hair fluttered. His strength increased greatly, and with a tearing sound, Song Shi was drowned by the sword beam.

"God Slayer!"

A cold light flashed and he was cut in half. A rain of blood immediately scattered down.

The terrifying sword aura turned Song Shi into bloody foam. Even the blood river cracked, leaving deep sword marks on the ground.

"Fengtian, is there a need to do that? He was just deliberately enraging you."

"That's right. Using both the bloodline power and the God Slaying Sword Technique is too draining."

"Regarding these demonic scums, there's no need to waste your energy to take him on alone. Just kill him together with the others."

The others felt that Ye Fengtian was too impulsive. Until now, they still did not think much of Song Shi.

Ye Fengtian was not in the mood to care about his clansmen who only knew to talk but not act. On the contrary, he took a glance at the direction of his attack in mid-air with a solemn expression and looked at the rapidly recovering blood river.

Then, his pupils constricted. When he saw Song Shi appear, he knew that the one he had painstakingly killed just now was still a fake.

The Ye Family members who had just spoken immediately shut up. For a moment, the atmosphere was strangely quiet and everyone was a little shocked.

This guy had only just formed his Gold Core, but he was actually unscathed when the Ye Family's Gold Core King activated his bloodline power and used his sword technique divine power. He also seemed to be in good condition.

When Lu Youyou saw Song Shi fighting with the Ye family, she could not help but look at her father.

"Ignore him!"

Lu Jiu's tone was not too good.

This Blood-Robed old ghost was a little disorganized and undisciplined. It was impossible for him to go over and help now. Otherwise, could it be that he had to fight with the Ye Family?

"If he's willing to return with the Spiritual Soil and hand it over to the sect,then I will be willing to help him."

Mountain Moving Daoist said. He was very interested in the spiritual soil that Song Shi had obtained. It could help him cultivate.

"Oh, this Blood-Robed old ghost is quite good at attracting enemies. Looks like it will be much faster for us to retrieve his body. We might be able to complete the contract here."

Su Tian of the Heavenly Corpse Sect teased.

Ying Kun seemed to be lost in thought as he said, "This fellow is quite clear about the situation of this medicinal field. He's not simple."

Lu Jiu valued the treasures in the hall more and did not let anyone help Song Shi.

"Your eyesight is a little bad. You can't even find my main body, yet you want to kill me?"

Song Shi mocked and continued to provoke the other party.

If he did not provoke Ye Fengtian like this, he might need to be slashed a few times before he could die. It would then be easy for others to notice that something was wrong.

"Then I'll destroy your disgusting blood river!"

The Ye Family's Martial King, Ye Fengtian, could not take down Song Shi in a short period of time. He could not hide his angry emotions and turned to look at Song Shi's Dharma treasure.

From his point of view, the reason why nothing happened to Song Shi every time was because of the blood river.

He rushed into the blood river, wanting to find the main body of this Dharma treasure to attack.

Seeing that he did not have much strength left to kill him, Song Shi attacked directly when they came into contact again.

Boom!

After the collision, Ye Fengtian, who was holding his sword, hurriedly retreated. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth. He was actually sent flying by Song Shi's punch and looked miserable.

Swoosh!

Song Shi stepped through the air and caught up with him. With another loud bang, Ye Fengtian vomited blood and was slapped to the ground.

The latter's expression changed drastically. He was extremely embarrassed and angry. He was an Elite of the Ye Family and a famous Martial King in Great Qian, but he had been beaten to such a state by a demon who had just recovered.

Boom!

Similarly, a golden light emanated from Song Shi's fist and he lashed over. As his fist landed, the ground shook and Ye Fengtian dodged in a sorry state.

The others were surprised. They did not expect Ye Fengtian, who had been so imposing just now, to end up like this.

Song Shi's eyes were cold. He might not even have a Nascent Soul with a mid-grade Spirit Body. Combined with his footwork and palm techniques, his close combat Ability was even more terrifying than his opponent's.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a few collisions, the Dharmic powers on Ye Fengtian's body were dispersed. Just as Song Shi was about to blow this fellow up…

Suddenly, a stream of pure Nomological power landed. With a bang, Song Shi was forced back, leaving a fissure on the ground.

"Old thing, how dare you attack as you wish. Do you have any shame?"

Ye Wenzhong was impatient, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in bullying the weak though. Don't waste time anymore. Let's attack together and kill him!"

In the next second, four more powerful forces appeared on the scene. The blood river surged and the Bloodseeker light was constantly torn apart.

Song Shi laughed. "Good timing!"

He rushed up and attacked the four Gold Core Realm experts at the same time.

The Phantom Image Step could produce three Phantom images, and the Phantom Image Technique had an additional clone. In an instant, several blood shadows appeared in the blood light.

The sword techniques of the four people surrounding him were powerful. His clone was cut into pieces by their joint efforts, and his main body suffered the same fate.

However, a few seconds later, Song Shi launched another ferocious attack again. n0𝒱𝑬𝗅𝗎𝑠𝚋.𝕔0𝑚

When Ye Fengtian saw that Song Shi was getting stronger and stronger, he felt uneasy.

Why was this Blood-Robed old ghost's foundation deeper than the Ye Family's Elite?

"Finish him off!"

The golden Nomological power in Ye Wenzhong's palm jumped, ready to attack at any time.

As for the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator like him was bullying a Golden Core cultivator, he no longer cared if word got out.

Report chapter Comments

Old Posion had snatched the Ye Family's things but he was not allowed to snatch other people's things?

His gaze was sharp as he used his Divine Telekinesis to investigate secretly.

This person's true physical body was hard to differentiate. After being surrounded by him for so long without being able to kill his true body, he naturally wanted to kill him in one strike.

However, he still could not confirm his true body despite probing. n0𝓋𝐞𝓛𝓤𝑆𝚋.𝒸0𝓂

"These Dharma treasures are strange. Let's destroy all of them first."

!!

Seeing that the doppelgangers that resembled his main body had strong combat strength and could still be revived after being surrounded, he stared at the blood river and suddenly attacked. His monstrous magic power condensed into a huge hand that was a thousand feet long and ruthlessly slapped the blood river.

With a muffled sound, the blood river sank into the ground.

Song Shi, who was fighting with the others, was slapped to death. Then, he was dismembered by the sword beams.

"This old man actually made a move!"

Lu Youyou was shocked when she saw Song Shi being slapped to death.

"He deserved it. He is going to die."

Shi Tianya looked back with a cold expression.

Old Man Nightmare looked at Ye Wenzhong. "The Ye Family is so shameless. To think that they used to call themselves a prestigious sect."

"For the sake of treasures, what is shame?"

Ghost Butcher was used to it. "If we can snatch the spiritual soil, we can have an additional high-grade spiritual field and produce endless spiritual herbs to nurture our clansmen. If it were me, I would also take action."

"Sect Master, aren't you going to help? The Spiritual Soil is also very useful to our sect."

Mountain Moving Daoist looked at Lu Jiu.

"Let's wait a little longer. Since this old ghost didn't run back. He must have some other plans."

Lu Jiu was very calm. "Continue to break the array. I'll take a look at the situation."

The Blood River Dharma treasures were struck into the soil by Ye Wenzhong's palm. The other four took the opportunity to activate various Dharma treasures and combine them to suppress this special Dharma treasure.

"It hurts!"

In the thousand-foot-wide blood river, Song Shi popped his head out. He was unscathed after being resurrected, but the feeling of being slapped still lingered.

He glanced at the magic treasure above his head that was suppressing the blood river and grinned. These guys thought that his ability came from the blood river, but in fact, it came from him.

His gaze was cold. Just now, it was not a problem for him to fight four of them alone. Now, a Dual Cultivation Martial Emperor Nascent Soul cultivator whose combat strength exceeded the people of the same level had appeared. What was there to fight?

His gaze landed on the middle-aged man recuperating beside him. The release of the Blood Essence cultivated by the Demonic Blood Transformation Technique seemed to be enveloped in the blood river, which turned into several afterimages that shot out.

Due to the force suppressing the blood river, when Song Shi rushed out, the blood river did not follow him. It looked like he wanted to give up on its Dharma treasures and escape.

"I've finally forced you out!"

Ye Wenzhong looked as if victory was in his grasp. He casually threw out the golden spear and shot it through the air.

Puff, puff, puff!

The spear shot out like a dragon, swimming nimbly in the air. It continuously pierced through Song Shi's three afterimages and continued to stab at the main body.

Song Shi's speed was very fast. Afterimages kept appearing, but they were still not as fast as the golden spear.

Seeing that he could not dodge, he did not care about the Spear Dharma treasure behind him that seemed to be tracking him. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ye Fengtian.

When the latter saw that Song Shi was escaping, he thought that Song Shi had chosen his side because Song Shi felt that it would be easier for him to escape this way since he was injured. He could not help but reveal a sinister smile as he drew his sword and slashed.

Crack!*

Amidst the sound of metal scraping, Song Shi actually caught his sword with his bare hands. A portion of the sword aura spread out and cut the ground into two.

Clang!

The golden spear behind him was blocked by a circle of golden light, causing an energy wave to collide, causing a large gust of wind.

"What!"

Seeing that Song Shi had caught the attack of the Dharma treasures, everyone in the Ye Family changed their expressions, especially Ye Fengtian. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Song Shi used the greater impact of the Spear behind him to accelerate forward. He forcefully grabbed Ye Fengtian's sword and pulled it back.

He instantly appeared behind Ye Fengtian. The latter could not control his sword at all. He felt a pain in his neck as his own sword broke through his Defense and cut off his head.

"You…"

Ye Fengtian's neck spurted out blood as he glared at Song Shi with an indignant expression. He did not expect to be killed by his own weapon.

BANG!

Song Shi's other hand slapped down heavily, shattering the head that was still in the air. Pure Yang True Fire surged in, and the soul in the head was destroyed.

All of this happened in an instant. When Song Shi's figure stopped, Ye Fengtian had already died, leaving only a headless corpse with blood gushing out.

The gazes that were paying attention to this scene all froze for a moment. No one expected Song Shi to be able to catch the Dharma treasures with his bare hands and kill Ye Fengtian in the moment of crisis.

"This guy can actually withstand Ye Wenzhong's golden spear. His body has become even stronger."

Lu Youyou took a deep breath, unable to calm down.

"Very good!"

Ye Wenzhong was already so angry that he was speaking praises. He stepped forward step by step, and the golden spear returned to his hand. His current aura was so domineering it was as if he was commanding a thousand troops.

"We ignored your physical body and thought that we could easily cut through it. In fact, your physical body is comparable to mid-grade Dharma treasures. We learned a painful lesson caused by our wrong understanding of you."

The terrifying pressure made Song Shi's body heavy. He did not panic at all and taunted calmly, "You're welcome. Remember to pay me the tuition fees."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed, putting away Ye Fengtian's storage ring, Dharma treasures, and so on.

"F* your mother and your tuition fees!"

Such an arrogant attitude made Ye Wenzhong unbearably enraged. He cursed and brandished his Spear as he charged over.

"This old man is really shameless. His realm is so much higher than mine, yet he still has the cheek to attack me."

Song Shi mocked as his figure instantly exploded, creating several afterimages to dodge the attack.

He was not stupid enough to fight with this old man. Just because he could receive the spear did not mean that he could defeat him. The other party also cultivated both immortal and martial arts and had a special bloodline. His combat strength was very strong.

"You want to escape?"

Ye Wenzhong retracted his Spear and chased after Song Shi's main body like a poisonous dragon.

However, Song Shi's movements were very agile. His body was like a Dharma treasure. Even if he was caught, he would willingly be hit by the Spear. It was difficult to kill him in one strike, hence giving Song Shi a chance to escape.

Ye Wenzhong who realized that he could not kill Song Shi at all impatiently shouted in a low voice, "Just leave two people to suppress his Dharma treasure. The rest come and kill this bastard together."

"Coming!"

The nearest mid-stage Golden Core cultivator had attacked with all his might. He felt that even if he could not kill Song Shi, he should have no problem stopping him.

The flames in front of him soared into the sky. In an instant, it was as if nine suns had appeared. Before he could react, his methods were destroyed with a bang.

In the eyes of others, when this Ye Family expert collided with Song Shi, it was as if he had encountered an erupting volcano and was sent flying on the spot.

"Be careful!"

The clansmen beside him sensed danger and hurriedly activated their Dharma treasures to attack Song Shi's temples. They wanted to surround Song Shi completely to force him to give up on attacking.

Song Shi did not care at all. He snatched the other party's Dharma treasure and stabbed it into his head. At the same time, he was attacked by the two Dharma treasures at the same time.

Ding!

The Dharma treasures of the Ye Family's Golden Core cultivators were repelled from his body.

"Die!"

Ye Wenzhong was filled with killing intent as he charged over. He fully activated the power of the Spear in his hand. With the enhancement of his powerful physical strength and Nomological power, the Spear emitted an ear-piercing screech. Space distorted and pierced through Song Shi and his clansmen.

The first time Song Shi's mid-grade Spirit Body was destroyed, it was equivalent to a Dharma treasure being pierced. It was obvious how terrifying the attack was.

The Spear vibrated, and Song Shi shattered into pieces.

Lu Jiu appeared at the side. When he saw Song Shi being killed, he said regretfully, "I was a little too late."

Report chapter Comments

He felt that Song Shi was doomed this time.

After all, even with such a powerful body, it was impossible for it to be a clone formed by energy.

Ye Wenzhong's expression darkened when he saw his own clansman being shattered by him as well.

Even if they obtained the Spiritual Soil this time, they would still suffer heavy losses. After all, the two Golden Core cultivators had required a large amount of resources to nurture.

In the entire Ye Family, there were not many of such existences as well.

He lowered his head and wanted to look for the storage ring, but Song Shi's corpse suddenly turned into a burst of light and dissipated.

"How is that possible!"

He could not help but roar angrily. That was because he had used his full strength just now. If he could not kill this person, how could he show his face in the Nascent Soul realm again in the future?

The suppressed blood river, turned viscous and churned. Song Shi popped his head out unscathed.

He looked at Ye Wenzhong, who was trembling in anger. "Old man, it looks like you're also blind from your old age. You have been attacking one of my clones crazily."

This time, all the major factions, including the demon beasts, looked over and looked at Song Shi solemnly.

None of them could tell what method Song Shi had used to escape the fatal blow.

They were both curious and wary of such methods.

Because no one wanted their opponent to be such a monster.

Zi Yue's eyes darkened slightly when she saw Song Shi's strange and powerful methods.

This old ghost was actually so powerful. He was even more terrifying than the rumors she had heard in the past.

Beside him, Sky Demon Cult's deputy cult master, Lu Bingxuan, narrowed his eyes and sized up Song Shi like an ice-cold venomous snake.

"Your son didn't die for nothing."

Hong Luo spoke and sized up Song Shi with interest. "Is this the Blood Transformation Sect's mystical ability? If the people of the Blood Transformation Sect are so powerful, how did they get exterminated back then? Perhaps the methods of Great Qian are not simple?"

As everyone watched, Lu Jiu, who did not save Song Shi in time, was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up.

This person could even dodge a fatal strike from a Nascent Soul Martial Emperor. His methods could be said to be extremely terrifying.

Not only that, but the other party could also kill a Golden Core Martial King from the Ye Family. His combat strength was also terrifyingly strong, far greater than the value he had given him previously.

To a certain extent, this person was comparable to a Nascent Soul Martial Emperor.

Splash!

Black air currents filled the air. A few chains shot out from his body and entangled the weapons that the Ye Family was preparing to attack Song Shi with.

Ye Wenzhong farmed and turned around. He was filled with anger, "Lu Jiu, you want to interfere?"

"He's an elder of our Heavenly Ghost Sect. Aren't you guys going overboard by brazenly trying to kill him and snatch his treasure?"

Lu Jiu walked out. His body was filled with killing intent and coldness. The world instantly darkened as if he had walked out of the netherworld.

He was glad that Song Shi was deliberately attacked. This way, it would be justifiable for him to attack, and no one could say anything.

"Kill and rob? The Spiritual Soil belongs to the Ye Family!"

The Ye Family cultivator at the side retorted.

"At this time, don't try to twist my words!"

Lu Jiu's attitude was unyielding, "Anyone with a discerning eye would know that you guys missed out on the Spiritual Soil fighting over the herbs. He waited for you guys to leave before picking up the leftovers. In the end, he was surrounded by you guys. It would have been fine if he was a rogue cultivator, but unfortunately…"

"Lu Jiu, that's true, but he killed two of the Ye Family's Golden Cores. I cannot forgive that!"

Ye Wenzhong said angrily. This guy didn't interfere earlier. It was obvious that he saw that the Blood-Robed old ghost was capable and only wanted to help him in his time of need. n0𝒱𝗲𝒍𝑢𝐬𝔅.𝐜0𝓂

"You brought this upon yourself. Who can you blame?"

The chains on Lu Jiu's body danced like a ghost, "I'll say this today. If you guys attack him again, my Heavenly Ghost Sect won't stand by and do nothing."

The faces of the Ye Family members turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

They were not as strong as the Heavenly Ghost Sect to begin with, and they had just lost their men. If they really fought, they would definitely not have a good ending.

Song Shi, who received the help, was rather speechless.

Who asked you to come and help?

I haven't killed enough, I haven't died enough.

He muttered in his heart. Others might be touched by someone's help at this moment, but he was not them.

The problem was that he still had to accept this favor. He chuckled, "Sect Master, why don't we just kill them all?"

It was not important whether he was grateful or not. It was also beneficial for him to stand up for Lu Jiu. Since the other party stopped the old fellow from the Ye Family, he could now loot the other Golden Core Martial Kings who had killed him.

Ye Wenzhong was furious. This guy was too arrogant. How dare he be so brazen just because Lu Jiu was protecting him.

His eyes were like blades as he said sternly, "Blood-Robed old ghost, you didn't die five hundred years ago. But this time, I'll definitely be the one to send you on your way!"

"Come on, if you don't kill me today, I'll kill you!"

Song Shi was so arrogant that even Lu Jiu could not stand it anymore.

"Father, is there really a need to save such a troublemaker?"

Lu Youyou followed Old Man Nightmare over, her pretty face full of disdain.

However, she still admired this guy's ability. But if it were her, no matter how talented she was, she would not dare to do this. It was simply too infuriating.

"Little b*stard, I really regret not killing you back then, giving you the chance to make so much noise here!"

When Ye Wenzhong saw Lu Youyou, his mouth became even more impolite.

Lu Youyou's face turned pale, and her eyes turned vengeful. "I will definitely avenge my mother!"

A cold glint flashed across Lu Jiu's eyes, "Ye Family, I didn't want to mention this at first. Since you've brought it up, let's settle this grudge today!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The experts of the Heavenly Ghost Sect flew over one after another. In terms of numbers, they surpassed the Ye Family. If the Ye Family had not brought a group of secret cultivators, they would have been clearly at a disadvantage in terms of lineup.

Even if there was not much difference in numbers, the difference in high-end combat strength was not small. One side had three Nascent Souls, and the other only had two.

One of them was a secret cultivator. He basically did not do much and looked like he only wanted to protect himself. He did not expect to risk his life for the Ye Family at all.

Ye Wenzhong's expression turned even uglier. He snorted and said, "I'll remember what happened today. Blood-Robed old ghost, you'd better not go anywhere alone. Otherwise… Hmph!"

Song Shi, on the other hand, was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did he suddenly retreat when a group fight was going to happen?

"Hey, aren't you going to hit me? Maybe you can kill me this time."

Song Shi shouted, causing many people in the Ye Family to be so angry that they were on the verge of exploding.

"Alright, haven't you been in the limelight enough today?" Lu Jiu said angrily, "Don't pretend to be obedient after taking advantage of this situation."

In reality, Lu Jiu was unwilling to make a move, even if he was stronger than the other party.

Song Shi watched regretfully as the Golden Cores left. These were all lucky draw chances. If he killed them, he might be able to get ten consecutive draws.

"Since you're so belligerent, you might as well spend that effort to attack the array formation in that hall!"

Lu Youyou was not too harsh in her critique this time, "The treasures inside are definitely much more precious than the spiritual soil you fought for just now."

"The treasures inside are surely good, but you have to open it first."

Song Shi took a glance. The defensive situation of the Array Formation had not changed much.

"The Array Formation in the core area is indeed powerful. If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid we'll have to cooperate with other factions."

Lu Jiu agreed and led his men to force the Ye Family back. After the Ye family retreated, he immediately led his men back and prepared to continue working with the Heavenly Corpse Sect to break through the array barrier outside the hall.

Ying Kun turned around and glanced at Song Shi. "Since you have the ability now, you can rebuild the Blood Refinement Sect."

These words made many people reveal complicated expressions. The ability Song Shi had displayed just now was second only to the Nascent Soul cultivators present. Even if he really wanted to rebuild the Blood Refinement Sect, he was definitely qualified.

Report chapter Comments

The battle today had propelled blood-robed old ghost's abilities to fame, showing to everyone that he was qualified to build the Blood Refinement Sect, which was once one of the five great Demonic sects of the Great Qian.

"Rebuilding the Blood Refinement Sect?"

Song Shi pursed his lips. "I'm not interested. I only want to work for others for the time being. I haven't thought of restarting the sect yet."

"Blood-robed Elder, you can work hard for the Heavenly Ghost Sect first. When you're strong enough in the future, some things will naturally happen naturally."

Lu Jiu smiled, his words basically a promise to help Song Shi rebuild the Blood Refinement Sect in the future.

!!

"We'll talk about it later."

Song Shi was not interested in talking about this anymore. After all he was not the real Blood-Robed old ghost.

Not only did Ying Kun give Song Shi a high evaluation, but the upper echelons of the other large factions had unknowingly raised Song Shi to the same level.

Although this person's combat strength should not be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could be considered a top-notch Golden Core cultivator. In particular, his strange and unpredictable blood path methods were too difficult to counter.

Moreover, this old ghost had just formed his Gold Core. If he continued to improve in the future, he would most likely be able to fight above his level. He definitely had value.

"Qingjian, Zi Yue, it's not easy to kill your enemy."

Hong Luo teased. The Qingjian she was talking about was Lu Bingxuan. Qingjian was the other party's real name. Typically, only people familiar with him would call him that.

"To be able to survive after being killed by the entire Vajra Sect five hundred years ago, his cultivation methods are indeed brilliant."

There was a rare hint of interest in Lu Bingxuan's eyes. Only those who knew his personality knew that he had become serious. n0𝔳𝓮𝐿𝔲𝗌𝕓.𝐜0𝓂

"I heard that the Blood Refinement Sect's cultivation techniques when cultivated to the Great Mastery stage, the body can turn into blood and will not suffer physical fatalities. He should have used this method to fool the Ye Family just now."

Zi Yue voiced her opinion. "However, for Great Qian to be able to destroy the Blood Refinement Sect, it means that even so, there will still be flaws. He's not invincible."

"The flaw is his soul. Back then, there was an existence in Great Qian who specialized in soul attacks and killed the upper echelons of the Blood Refinement Sect who were hiding in the blood river and even the blood lake!"

Lu Bingxuan revealed some secrets.

Zi Yue's eyes changed slightly. "It's that Ultimate Divine Sword Lord who specializes in the sword of the mind which kills people invisibly that did it. I heard that he exhausted his mental essence to kill the experts of the Blood Refinement Sect and has already passed away."

"Only those fellows from Great Qian know whether he passed away in meditation or not. This remnant of the Blood Transformation Sect is just a Golden Core cultivator. As long as he can be controlled, he can be easily killed with a similar technique. Even if that's not the case, we can destroy him along with the blood river. It will just be a little troublesome."

Lu Bingxuan looked confident.

The same topic was also discussed among the other factions. In their opinion, the people of the Blood Transformation Sect were indeed tenacious but not invincible.

Time passed.

Buzz buzz!

A strange vibration suddenly appeared in the center of the ruins. Then, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth boiled, and a dazzling light turned into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.

A mysterious and ancient aura spread throughout the entire basin.

The various large factions that were attacking the nodes and Array Formations in the core area were shocked. They turned around and saw a seven-colored light.

"Could it be that Numinous treasures have appeared!?"

"Let's go take a look!"

A cultivator sent his divine consciousness over first to probe, while the others followed, filled with excitement.

At the source of the light, a seven-colored alms bowl was spinning. Rich spiritual light bloomed and it was obvious that this was a supreme treasure.

The seven-colored alms bowl slowly floated up. Chains formed by Array Formation runes spread out and connected to the ten core areas, forming a complicated array formation.

"Could this be the Numinous treasure?"

"This must be the core of the Array Formation. If I obtain it, I will definitely be able to control the array formation of this ruin."

"If we can really control the Array Formation, wouldn't this ruin be the location of a top sect?"

Compared to the others, Song Shi stared at the seven-colored alms bowl with a stunned expression.

Why was this thing so similar to his alms bowl? The only difference was that his alms bowl's level was very low and was only a Dharma artifact.

And this thing seemed to be something that surpassed Dharma treasures. It was connected to the surrounding Array Formations, making the original Level 6 Array Formation look much more complicated.

"A replica!"

Song Shi guessed that the alms bowl he obtained from Hei Duzi should be a replica of this thing.

Some people glanced at Song Shi. They had previously seen Song Shi holding a similar alms bowl and guessed the reason.

"Numinous treasures?"

Song Shi sized up the seven-colored alms bowl that was emitting a brilliant light. The runes on it were profound and densely packed with spirit patterns. It was unknown how many Array Formation Taboo Powers it contained.

Dharma artifacts, Dharma treasures, Numinous artifacts, Numinous treasures…

The lowest-level Dharma artifacts could be enhanced by the power of runes. Higher level Dharma artifacts required runes to form runes to form an Array Formation Taboo Powers.

Numinous artifacts had more Taboo Powers on the foundation of Dharma treasures. They also needed to possess spirituality. This way, they could absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to grow on their own.

As for Numinous treasures, they had a special kind of intelligence and had artifact spirits!

If this thing had an artifact spirit and was located in the core of the Array Formation, it could definitely control the entire array formation of the ruins.

"The artifact spirit is equivalent to an artificial intelligence or some kind of intelligent program. I want to see what it's doing."

The other powerhouses also sensed that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, such a core item should only appear at the end.

Now that it suddenly jumped out, it was too abnormal.

"There must be something wrong!"

Song Shi became vigilant.

RUMBLE!

The world suddenly shook. Light flashed above and behind everyone. The array formation that had been broken began to recover at an astonishing speed.

Report chapter Comments

A huge curved barrier quickly appeared above their heads, trapping everyone in it in the blink of an eye.

All of this happened in a flash, and no one had time to react.

"Oh no, we're trapped by the Array Formation!"

"It might be the one controlling the Array Formation."

Everyone who was greedy for the seven-colored alms bowl immediately became afraid. n0𝒱𝖾𝑳𝓊𝓈𝚋.𝑐0𝑚

Lu Jiu's gaze was sharp. "Everyone, come closer. Those who have cultivated the battle formation techniques, get into formation immediately!"

"Return to the coffin!"

The people from the Heavenly Corpse Sect were even more straightforward. They actually flew back to their coffins, making Song Shi envious. These fellows' coffins were really convenient.

On the demon beasts' side, it was relatively easy. The birds retracted their wings, and the other demon beasts could only stick their butts closer to each other. It could be seen that their methods were still very primitive.

Other than being a little cautious, Song Shi was not too worried. Instead, he was looking forward to it.

Next, could it be that this alms bowl was going to control the Array Formation to kill people?

What kind of crisis is this? An artificial intelligence crisis?

As he let one's imagination run wild, the light in the seven-colored alms bowl squirmed and condensed into two strange lantern-like eyes in the air.

After turning around, this eyes seemed to be able to see everyone. A unique fluctuation swept past, as if the alms bowl was investigating the situation.

Immediately after, a hoarse voice sounded: "Welcome to the refinement grounds, congratulations on becoming a new batch of life and death Gu."

"It actually talked. The Dharma treasure seemed to have also become a spirit!"

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. Numinous treasures were legendary items indeed.

This was because even Nascent Souls did not have access to such things. In fact, there were not many Numinous treasures in this world.

However, what was this Life and Death Gu? There was no relevant information on it in the Blood-Robed old ghost's memories.

And why did they become Life and Death Gu?

Song Shi became more and more curious. The others were also at a loss.

When the Old Poison from the Sky Poison Sect heard these words, his face turned ashen.

"Old Poison, what kind of Gu is the Life and Death Gu?"

"A special Gu. If you don't want to become someone else's slave, leave quickly. This place is not a normal ruin at all!"

After saying that, he immediately wanted to leave with his disciples. However, the way back had already been sealed by the Array Formation Power, and the array had changed.

"Old Poison, can't you finish your sentence?"

Sword Emperor Gale frowned.

The words of this seven-colored alms bowl were not kind. The best way was to quickly figure out the situation before having a way to deal with it.

Boom boom boom!

The old poisonous creature attacked the Array Formation without saying a word, but the Array Formation did not move at all. His expression was ugly. "It's over. I've really become a worm that was attracted over to this ruin. I've refined a lot of Gu, but this is the first time I've been treated as a worm."

Clang!

A crisp sound came from the alms bowl. Then, the lid on it opened on its own and its body quickly expanded.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

A strange sound was transmitted from it. In the colorful light, a black and white color ray appeared.

Song Shi realized that the black and white were actually squirming insects. Inside were densely packed little bugs that were slowly squirming as if they had just woken up. It made his scalp tingle.

"Damn it, it's really these damn things. Why are there so many of them!"

When Old Poison saw this, he cursed. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Swoosh!

A black shadow landed on the side. It was the Black Eagle Emperor of the demon race. He asked, "What exactly happened?"

In the face of the question, Old Poison smiled mockingly. "In any case, no one can escape and we've become turtles in a jar. There's no harm in telling you. This thing is a special puppet Gu. Whoever is poisoned will only have two choices. They will die from the devouring power of the Gu or kill other people who are poisoned by the same type of Gu to survive. To survive, they will have to fight with their lives, so it's called the Life and Death Gu."

When he mentioned puppet Gu, many people present had ugly expressions.

Puppet Gu, as its name suggested, meant that the person who was poisoned would become a puppet. They would not be able to control their actions or even determine their life and death.

"F*ck, does this mean that this ruin had deliberately tricked us?"

The Crimson Ape Emperor cursed.

"We shouldn't have come to such an unknown ruin!"

The Black Eagle Emperor looked regretful. He did not get many treasures and he was going to lose his freedom.

"Strange, even if it controls us, what does it want to do?"

Song Shi realized that the various factions were at a loss, which meant that they did not know much about this ruin.

In that case, who had set up these ruins? Why had such ruins never been heard of in history?

Now that the ruins has revealed his true intentions, would the mastermind reveal himself?

Song Shi looked at the seven-colored alms bowl that was activating the Gu worm and was filled with curiosity.

"Everyone, cooperate as much as possible. Break the Array Formation and leave this place first!"

The Perfected Heavenly Star Lord suggested.

He did not expect that there would be Gu worms in this array formation. The best way for now was to temporarily avoid danger.

"F*ck, I thought you knew all this!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Star Lord was retreating, how could the ill-tempered Sword Emperor Gale stand still? He followed behind and prepared to retreat as well.

"Father, is this Life and Death Gu so powerful? Why is everyone so afraid?"

Lu Youyou didn't quite understand.

"This is a special spiritual Gu. Neither you nor I can withstand it."

Mountain Moving Daoist sighed. "I once read a book about incomplete Gu worms. The Life and Death Gu is a kind of Gu worm that people both love and hate in ancient times. Those who are poisoned by the Life and Death Gu must constantly provide power to the Gu worm. Otherwise, they have to kill other people who are also poisoned to obtain the other party's power."

"This place really looks like the tools for refining Gu, but the targets are not Normal Gu, they are cultivators, zombies, and demon beasts!"

Song Shi finally understood what this Life and Death Gu was. He looked at the worm in the alms bowl that was emitting an increasingly dense aura and said in disgust, "It's always a little strange when this thing enters my brain."

"Let's go. We'll break the formation with them and leave this place first."

Lu Jiu made a prompt decision to meet up with the forces of Great Qian. There was no time to divide between good and evil for now.

"There's no need to waste your energy. With the Level 6 Array Formation fully activated, even a Soul Transformation cultivator won't be able to break it. You can only accept this gift obediently. As long as you become a Gu body, you're qualified to obtain the treasures in these ten places. If you can survive in the end and ascend to the Upper Realm in the future, you can directly join my Holy Gu Sect."

The seven-colored alms bowl spoke again. Its voice was very calm and it sounded emotionless.

A portion of the cultivators heard this and were tempted.

Upper Realm!

From the name, one could tell that it was a place that was a level higher than the current world.

The Upper Realm was an even vaster world. It only existed in ancient records. Those who had been there would basically never return.

However, if one wanted to go to the Upper Realm, one had to reach the Soul Transformation Martial Venerable Realm. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the power of Space.

"With the Life and Death Gu, you will have a chance to grow faster. Soul Transformation will be just around the corner, why resist?"

After the artifact spirit finished speaking, the black bug in the alms bowl suddenly shot out and turned into a black cloud that flew towards everyone.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Amidst the strange sound, the black clouds dispersed, and black-white Gu worms that were as thin as hair rushed towards every living being present.

Not only the living beings, but even the zombies were not spared. The strange thing was that the insects that rushed towards the living beings were black, and the insects that rushed towards the zombies were white.

The black one gave off a deathly aura, while the white one was filled with the aura of life.

Song Shi was stunned. According to Hei Duzi's memories, he had some understanding of Gu worms.

For the Gu to be able to change a living thing so nimbly, it was a wonder of the world.

"It's coming! Block it!"

At the same time, Lu Jiu pulled his daughter behind him. Chains shot out, wanting to shatter the Gu worms.

A strange scene appeared. After the Gu worm was hit by the Dharma treasures, its body squirmed and passed through the Dharma treasures. Even Nomological power could not stop it.

Song Shi watched in shock. He had used the Pure Yang True Fire to block it, but the outcome was the same. He could not block it at all.

He realized that the black and white Gu worm seemed to turn into their own power in an instant and then easily invaded the resistance.

Everyone's attacks seemed to hit the air, and their Defense was ineffective. Gu worms successfully invaded everyone's bodies.

Song Shi saw a black and white rune quickly appear between the brows of the others beside him, just like a worm getting invaded by Gu.

At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.

Killing all the other Life and Death Gu would allow him to seize the other party's strength.

"Good lord, this is to make all the people who are poisoned kill each other. They are really refining Gu, but the target of the Gu has become cultivators and demon beasts!"

Song Shi finally understood why Daoist Move Mountain said that he both loved and hated the Life and Death Gu worm.

Devouring the power of others to quickly improve oneself, how many people could resist such temptation?

At this moment, he realized that the aura of a Gu worm was also emitting from his forehead. With his divine thought, he discovered that there was a black and white pattern between his eyebrows.

He frowned and tried to force this thing out of his body. He tried a few times but to no avail.

This thing had perfectly fused with his own Nomological power and was difficult to expel. At least, he could not resolve it with the methods he had at the moment.

On the other hand, this Life and Death Gu contained a special aura that could attract other people of the same type.

Similarly, he could also sense the other people who had been poisoned.

At this moment, basically everyone had been poisoned. After experiencing the effects of the Gu worm, many people's gazes changed on the spot.

Immediately, pairs of malicious eyes looked at each other.

In theory, everyone else present could be prey.

An instinctive desire to hunt and kill arose for no reason. Song Shi frowned and suppressed this emotion that could affect his rationality.

Some of the weaker people with insufficient resistance started to pant as they stared at the others with red eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"Why do you care what I'm looking at!"

"I think you deserve to die!"

"I'll kill you!"

The cultivators of the Sky Demon Cult and the Ye Family were very close to each other. Just because they exchanged glances, two of them directly started fighting.

The surrounding people took a step back and watched the two of them fight coldly.

They really wanted to see what would happen if the person who was poisoned by the Life and Death Gu killed the other party.

The two of them, who had already lost their rationality, did not know that they had become test subjects and used all kinds of ruthless methods.

The Independent Cultivators from the Ye faction were average in terms of wealth and cultivation techniques and they were quickly at a disadvantage in the battle.

Just as many people thought that this independent cultivator would die from defeat, the latter suddenly took out a talisman and activated it.

With a loud bang, it was as if heavenly lightning had struck the ground. A bolt of lightning killed the Sky Demon Cult cultivator.

"You are dead, haha!"

The independent cultivator burst into laughter while sat.

At this moment, a circle of strange power appeared between his brows, forming a Yin-Yang diagram that landed on the dead Sky Demon Cult cultivator.

The Gu in the latter's body reacted. The energy between his eyebrows squirmed, and his charred body suddenly shriveled. All the essence in its body seemed to be gathering between its eyebrows.

In the end, an energy that contained the source of life shot out and landed between the rogue cultivator's eyebrows, quickly entering his body.

With the replenishment of this power, the spirit of the individual cultivator who was only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm was greatly boosted. The consumption of the battle was instantly replenished and the wounds on their bodies were actually recovering at an extremely fast speed.

The others who were observing the situation changed their expressions. Some were shocked, but some were excited.

"The healing effect of the Gu is even more outstanding than specialized pills."

"This Gu seems to be able to devour the essence, energy, and spirit of someone who has just died to improve itself."

"How strange and mysterious."

As the people watching the show discussed, they inadvertently began to look for their prey.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The various factions, especially the opposing factions, subconsciously retreated, wary of the other party's sneak attack at any time.

Song Shi pursed his lips. Other than being able to provide for his strength to increase, its recovery speed was only so-so and could not compare to his system.

However, this was already abnormal enough. It could be said to be extremely evil to be able to devour the essence of others through a Gu worm.

"This Holy Gu Sect is definitely not a proper sect."

Song Shi concluded and turned to look at the seven-colored alms bowl.

At this moment, a portion of the Life and Death Worms that had not found their hosts flew back and were covered by the lid with a clang, waiting for a new host to appear.

"Everyone, the first ten Soul Transformation cultivators who have used the Life and Death Gu can choose one of the ten core nodes to open it and obtain the treasures inside."

The seven-colored alms bowl spoke again, "The things inside can allow you to successfully head to the Upper Realm. So start killing."

With that, the seven-colored alms bowl spun and fell. The void below it distorted, and everyone's vision blurred as the seven-colored alms bowl disappeared.

The surrounding Array Formations began to change. A colorful passageway quickly appeared. The space inside distorted and led to an unknown place.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, a huge stone tablet appeared beside the passageway.

This stone tablet was one thousand feet tall and there were three golden words written on the top.

"The Ascension Tablet!" n0𝔳𝓮𝐿𝔲𝗌𝕓.𝐜0𝓂

Song Shi's face twitched when he saw this. Why did this name sound like he would ascend to heaven the moment he walked in?

"This is a spatial passageway to the Upper Realm. It's safer than traveling through spatial turbulence on your own. However, not everyone can enter. You must reach the Soul Transformation realm first."

The seven-colored alms bowl spoke.

Lu Xuanbing's eyes lit up, "Is this the place where your Holy Gu Sect chooses its disciples?"

"You can think of it that way."

"Damn it, I'm not interested in going to your bullshit Holy Gu Sect!"

Sword Emperor Gale scolded, "The founding emperor of Great Qian also left behind a relatively safe spatial passageway. I don't even need to come here."

A colorful light descended from the sky and sent Sword Emperor Gale flying with a bang.

"Although I'm an artifact spirit, it doesn't mean that you can scold me as you wish."

The rainbow alms bowl's words left Song Shi dumbfounded. This Numinous treasure had quite a temper.

He asked curiously, "How can I control you?"

These words were representative of the thoughts of all the powerhouses present.

"As long as you're stronger than me, you can."

Everyone fell silent.

A Numinous treasure that controlled a Grade 6 Array Formation was probably even more terrifying than an ordinary Soul Transformation cultivator. It was impossible for anyone in this world to defeat it.

Those who could win were no longer in this world and had long gone to the Upper Realm.

The Perfected Heavenly Star Lord looked at the passage and sighed, "So the space hidden in this ruin is a passage. I was wondering who created this special space."

He had also miscalculated. He had been tricked by the existence who had set up this place.

"You can leave on your own or fight here."

After the seven-colored alms bowl finished speaking, the Array Formation quickly changed.

Song Shi realized that other than the core area, the Array Formations in the other locations were no longer offensive.

It was as if they had become one with a mind of their own and obtained some authority.

"Let's go. This isn't the time to fight!"

If he were to fight with the others now, it might be difficult for him to leave this place in the end.

He pulled his daughter and decisively turned around to retreat.

The other factions also retreated tacitly, as if they had no intention of fighting at all.

This time, the Array Formation really did not stop them. They all easily left the ruins.

Looking back at the basin where the ruins were, everyone felt their blood run cold.

This time,not just Song Shi, everyone could tell that the basin was like an alms bowl.

They couldn't help but think of how many years ago, a huge seven-colored alms bowl had descended from the sky and smashed out a basin here, forming this ruin.

Or could this basin be the Numinous treasure?

Song Shi stared at the basin for a long time and felt that this whole ruin was an elaborate ploy.

"Let's go. What are you looking at? Whoever is alone will definitely become the target of everyone's hunt."

Mountain Moving Daoist snorted. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Is that so?"

Song Shi was excited when he heard that.

They flew back to their respective war Dharma treasures. The originally huge war Dharma treasures now looked like toys compared to the basin.

"Elder!"

Bai Xiaoqin, who was waiting beside the Supreme Kraken Ship, welcomed them happily. However, seeing that everyone's expressions were not too good, she tactfully restrained her smile.

Some of the more knowledgeable deacons subtly sensed that something was amiss.

Not only did everyone's expressions change, but the number of people was also lesser.

Exploring ruins of this level would often result in heavy losses but the ruins did not seemed to have been invaded into.

"Set off and return to the Nether City immediately!"

Lu Jiu ordered.

The Nether City was the lair of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. It was basically the safest place to go now.

"Return to the Imperial City!"

Sword Emperor Gale also gave the order.

The demons and humans present tacitly returned home.

In the blink of an eye, the basin became empty without any forces.

"Only free-range insects can grow and strengthen by themselves. This lower realm is too barren. If they don't disperse, we won't be able to take in ten Soul Transformation seedlings."

Above the basin, a pair of eyes appeared, quietly watching the various factions leave.

After Song Shi returned to the Great Kraken Ship, he was called over by Lu Jiu.

"Blood-robed Elder, from now on, your treatment will be the same as the Grand Elder's. If you have any requests, you can tell me."

Lu Jiu was very generous and had the aura of a big boss.

"I only want to know how powerful the Numinous treasures are to be able to come down from the Upper Realm."

Song Shi was curious.

"Sure, but the price it paid is also very high. After all, the difference in Spiritual Qi in the lower realm and upper realm is sky high. Even if that seven-colored alms bowl spends ten thousand years to cultivate here, it might not be comparable to a hundred years in the Upper Realm."

The one who answered was Mountain Moving Daoist. He continued, "As for how powerful the Numinous treasures are, let's put it this way. The strongest treasure nurtured in our lower realm is at this level. Numinous treasures have the power to destroy the world. After activating them, they can easily destroy a city."

Song Shi's blood boiled as he listened. His eyes were bright as he asked, "Does the Heavenly Ghost Sect have it?"

"No. Apart from the Numinous treasures themselves, only existences that surpass the Soul Transformation realm can fully activate it. Its level is too high. In our entire world, there aren't more than two digits of Numinous treasures recorded."

Mountain Moving Daoist shook his head naturally.

"Who has it?"

"Great Qian." n0𝒱𝖾𝑳𝓊𝓈𝚋.𝑐0𝑚

Lu Jiu replied.

Song Shi was stunned. So this was how Great Qian suppressed many cultivators. Previously, he was still wondering why the martial emperor of Great Qian was only at the Nascent Soul realm. What right did he have to intimidate so many sects?

"That's not right. Didn't you say that one has to surpass the Soul Transformation realm to control Numinous treasures?"

Song Shi looked at Mountain Moving Daoist.

"You have overlooked an exception that I mentioned." Mountain Moving Daoist said meaningfully.

"Excluding the Numinous treasures…"

Song Shi was enlightened.

"That's right. The Numinous treasures have recognized the founding emperor of Great Qian as their master. If it takes the initiative to help, he will naturally be able to unleash a portion of the power of the Numinous treasures. Unless he's facing someone with the same situation, who can be his match?"

Mountain Moving Daoist had a complicated expression. "That old thing was really talented back then. He killed eight Great Demon Venerables, four Martial Venerables, and three Soul Transformation cultivators. He unified a million miles of mountains and rivers and intimidated the eight dynasties to be scared of attacking Great Qian."

"Then you all still dare to rebel?"

Song Shi felt that he was close to some secrets.

Ghost Butcher said disdainfully, "Hehe, that Numinous treasure was taken away by the founding emperor of Great Qian more than a thousand years ago. Furthermore, the Sky Demon Cult has an incomplete Numinous treasure. We are not afraid of their current replica Numinous treasure. That is where our confidence come from."

Lu Jiu mocked, "It's because these people who brought treasures to the Upper Realm, that our world is getting weaker and weaker."

"It turns out that the weakening of Great Qian was not because of moral decay. In the end, it was because they had lost their killing weapon."

Song Shi was a little speechless. His previous understanding was still influenced by some knowledge from his previous life. He thought that the corruption of the Imperial Court had caused the rebel army to rise.

In the end, it was because their 'nuclear' weapons were gone and they could not intimidate the various large factions.

"That's about right. If the Numinous treasures are still around, no matter how corrupt they are, who would dare rebel?"

Lu Jiu nodded and looked into the distance with a sigh. "I didn't expect there to be a Numinous treasure here. No one has discovered it for so many years. If anyone can control it, they can replicate the achievements of the Martial Emperor of Great Qian and establish a thousand-year-old empire."

Ghost Butcher smiled bitterly. "This thing can refine Gu and control people. It's easy to create an army of Gu with it. It's really suitable for expansion. However, it has an owner already and has already turned us all into 'worms'. Let's not think about it."

At the mention of the seven-colored alms bowl, Lu Jiu and the others' faces darkened and they fell silent.

Song Shi completely understood how terrifying Numinous treasures were.

A dynasty that had established a million miles of mountains and rivers could easily control a group of Nascent Soul powerhouses. Any one of these feats was considered shocking.

He did not know how else he could describe Numinous Treasures. He could only compare it to be the nuclear weapon of this world.

The faction with this thing should be able to stand strong and lead the others for ten thousand years.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, all of us who have been poisoned will stay in the sect to cultivate. As for overthrowing Great Qian, we'll let Ghost Butcher and the rest take charge of it for the time being."

Lu Jiu broke the silence and announced his next arrangements.

"Yes, this is the most suitable. We've been poisoned and have become prey. It's fine for us, but it's too dangerous for the others to go out."

Ghost Butcher nodded.

"I'll go back and check the ancient books to see if I can find a way to solve this problem."

Mountain Moving Daoist frowned. "This thing is in my body. Even if I reach the Soul Transformation realm and go to the Upper Realm, it will probably be a hidden danger."

"Blood-robed Elder, what do you think?"

Lu Jiu asked. If he said these people in front of the other party, it meant that he had allowed Song Shi to enter the upper echelons of the sect.

"I don't have any thoughts. I just want to hunt other Gu bodies and form my Nascent Soul as soon as possible."

Song Shi smiled. Hunting other Gu bodies could not only send him to court death, but also increase his Devouring power rapidly.

Lu Youyou, who was listening at the side and had no right to interrupt, looked at Song Shi with a strange expression.

This person still dared to appear in front of others now?

"Sure, I'll arrange for someone to support you."

Lu Jiu smiled. "We also need to figure out the specific effect of this Gu. If the Blood-robed Elder is willing to share information, you can exchange for the resources in the sect."

"Then it's a deal."

Song Shi looked into the distance, "Are you going to accompany me to destroy the Ye Family now?"

Lu Jiu, Ghost Butcher, and Mountain Moving Daoist looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts.

This Blood-Robed old ghost was really as vengeful as the rumors said. Now, he actually still wanted to take revenge, and even exterminate the entire clan.

This kind of person could be considered a double-edged sword. If they did not use him well, it would be very easy to hurt his own people.

"No problem. Ghost Butcher and I will go with you. Mountain Mover, you stay on the Supreme Kraken Ship."

After Lu Jiu agreed, after all, his enmity with the Ye Family was not small.

"Father, I want to go too!"

Lu Youyou revealed an expression of rage.

"Then come. It's been so many years. It's time to take revenge on the Ye Family."

Lu Jiu's eyes turned black and cold.

"I have to deal the final blow to that old man. Since he dared to snatch my things, I naturally have to be the one to send him on his way."

Song Shi said coldly. That guy was a lucky draw opportunity. He could not miss it.

Outside the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range, thousands of feet in the sky, a Bronze war chariot moved forward with a whistling sound.

This war chariot was a hundred meters tall and more than ten feet wide. It looked rough and was engraved with ancient rune patterns. It was a long-standing war Dharma treasures.

In front of the chariot, there was a demon beast that looked like a golden Qilin[1."Qilin" The qilin is a legendary hooved chimerical creature that appears in Chinese mythology]pulling the carriage.

This beast indeed possessed the bloodline of the Qilin. It was called the Golden Qilin Beast. Its entire body was covered in golden scales and its appearance was mighty and extraordinary. Its strength was at the level of a Golden Core Realm Martial King and the body of this demonic beast was powerful. Its strength was above that of cultivators of the same level.

To be able to use a Demon King with a special bloodline to pull the carriage, it could be seen how deep the Ye Family's foundation was.

Beside him, a war Dharma treasure that looked like a yellow ancient book was moving forward.

"Brother Ye, we have to stay in Silk City for a few days. Let's part ways here."

The people from Qianzheng Academy spoke.

"Alright, come to Jinzhou when you're free."

Ye Wenzhong squeezed out a smile. He didn't get any benefits this time and even lost many people. How could he be in the mood to show a good expression?

"Farewell."

The cultivator who looked like an old master cupped his fists and ordered his Dharma treasures to change directions and fly towards Silken City in the distance.

The Ye Family continued to fly towards Jinzhou on the Bronze Chariot.

There were thirty-six prefectures in Great Qian. Silken City was located in the southeast while Jinzhou was in the northwest. They still had to fly three thousand miles to reach it.

The Ye Family was the overlord of Jinzhou's cultivation world. Their strength was comparable to super-class sects, and their influence spanned across Jinzhou and the surrounding cities: Yuanzhou, Jiangzhou, and other places.

Compared to the chaotic Silken City, Jinzhou had the Ye Family secretly presiding over it. It was still relatively peaceful and there were no wars.

When they entered the Jinzhou area, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

It was safer to return to their own territory.

Just as they were relaxing, in a cloud behind the Bronze chariot, more than ten figures were secretly following them on a Dharma treasures ship. They had been following them for a period of time.

"Father, aren't you going to attack? They're all going back to their nest."

Lu Youyou looked a little tired. She had stared at the butt of the golden chariot for a long time.

"We can prepare to attack soon. Now is the time for them to relax. We just have to kill Ye Wenzhong. We don't expect to wipe all of them out."

Lu Jiu felt that the time was almost up. The Ye Family definitely did not expect them to follow them all the way here.

Song Shi stopped him.

"What did you find?"

Ghost Butcher asked.

"There's a group of people in that direction. They're following us on the ground."

Song Shi pointed at the hilly area in the southeast direction. "They can't possibly be following us to admire the scenery, right?"

From ten thousand meters in the sky to the hills in the southeast, the straight line distance between both has exceeded 50 kilometers.

Lu Jiu could not help but take another look at Song Shi. The two Nascent Soul cultivators did not even notice anything. What method did this guy use?

Song Shi smiled mysteriously, "Let's sit on the boat and watch the show."

It wasn't that his senses were very strong, but he had sensed it through the replica of the seven-colored alms bowl on his body. To be precise, he could sense the Gu worms in those people's bodies.

This replica had some of the original Numinous treasures' Effects, so it had started to be effective.

"Which faction?"

Lu Youyou asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I can only sense someone."

Song Shi shook his head.

"Pfft, I thought you were good."

Lu Youyou immediately looked down on Song Shi.

Song Shi turned his head and started to size up her figure again. Lu Youyou blushed and quietened down.

It couldn't be helped. Now that Song Shi had returned to his original appearance, he was charming, carefree, sunny, and handsome. It was difficult to compare him to a fierce demon.

"Damn it, why am I blushing!"

Lu Youyou was angry and embarrassed. She was ashamed of her own reaction.

She didn't know that being stared at by a handsome man who she found irresistible would mostly be like this.

Shi Tianya's expression darkened. Lu Youyou had always been his ideal Dao companion. How could she blush because of another man?

Song Shi looked at the shy and beautiful Lu Youyou with interest. He had to admit that this woman was indeed very beautiful. She carried a kind of feral and demonic charm.

Unfortunately, she had a foul mouth.

"Ahem, the Blood-robed Elder is more than a thousand years old, right?"

Lu Jiu coughed meaningfully.

These words were already very obvious. He wanted Song Shi to have some morals and not think of Lu Youyou that way.

"I've checked. The blood-robed elder is more than one thousand and three hundred years old. In the mortal world, he's equivalent to an ancestor from more than one hundred generations ago."

Shi Tianya specially emphasized the word 'old'.

"I'm eighteen." n0𝐯𝑬𝗅𝗎𝓢𝑏.𝓒0𝑀

Song Shi retorted. He was really eighteen years old, nienteen at most.

Everyone looked at him with disdain.

Song Shi was helpless. Who asked him to be involved in possession? There was really no way to explain this.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Just as everyone was looking down on Song Shi's shamelessness, a strange sound came from afar.

Lu Youyou turned her head to avoid Song Shi's aggressive gaze. She touched her hot and delicate face and said uncomfortably, "Where did the sound of rats come from in the sky?"

In order to avoid being discovered, Lu Jiu deliberately used his Dharma treasures to fly ten thousand meters into the sky to hide in the clouds. There were not many birds here, let alone rats.

The inner sect disciples and elders of the Heavenly Ghost Sect who followed them looked around. Then, their pupils constricted and they landed on a black cloud that rose from the ground.

"Look, what is that?"

"It seems to be a bird?"

"It's a bat!"

While some people were still identifying them, those with good eyesight had already recognized them.

Song Shi quietly watched as the dense swarm of bats flew towards the Bronze chariot.

On the chariot, flags fluttered. Ye Wenzhong suddenly opened his eyes and looked down through the gaps in the railings. A group of squeaking black clouds was rapidly approaching.

"Enemy attack! Be on guard!"

He raised his hand and formed an incantation gesture. The runes on the war chariot shone brightly. Pure energy was released, forming a thick energy barrier.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding light dimmed. Bats larger than chickens filled the surrounding space. Without any hesitation, they pounced over.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bats were blocked by the barrier and could not approach the Ye Family.

"Are these animals courting death?"

"Other than the fact that there are many of them, what right do they have to threaten us?"

The independent cultivators panicked for a moment. Seeing that the bats could not even break through the barrier, they sneered and urged their flying swords to slash out.

"Stop!"

Ye Wenzhong berated, but he was still a little late. The barrier did not block the attacks from within. This person's flying sword easily killed a bat and blood spewed out.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

As soon as the bat's blood landed on the barrier, it immediately corroded.

"This blood is corrosive. Don't attack!"

Ye Wenzhong stopped him.

At this moment, a strange smell spread. After the people nearby smelled it, they immediately felt dizzy. A Qi Refinement cultivator even foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, he was directly poisoned to death.

The people nearby were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. They held their breaths, not daring to breathe at all.

Ye Wenzhong's expression was dark as he said, "Who is secretly attacking? Don't you know that this is already the Ye Family's territory? When I give the order, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave this place!"

"Hehe, Clan Leader Ye, you're so arrogant. Let's see if you die faster or if the reinforcements arrive faster."

Amidst the hoarse voice, an old man wrapped in something appeared out of thin air among the bats. Only his eyes were revealed as he stared at Ye Wenzhong with ill intentions.

Behind him, a group of people dressed similarly appeared with cold eyes.

"Old Poison, it's you again. You really think that the Ye Family is a pushover!"

Ye Wenzhong was so angry that he was about to explode. It was one thing for Old Poison to snatch his Ye Family's ten-thousand-year-old spirit ginseng, but he actually dared to rob and kill him on his way home!

"Hehe, we'll only know if one's a pushover after we pinch him a little more. Perhaps you are really a pushover."

"Wu~"

As he played the flute, the bats that were originally colliding with the barrier flew higher. Then, an invisible wave spread.

Those who thought that they were safe hiding in the energy barrier of the chariot immediately had a splitting headache. A servant accompanying them screamed and died from bleeding from all seven orifices.

Puff, puff, puff!

This was only the beginning. Soon, the other weaker cultivators widened their eyes and their eyeballs exploded for no reason. They spat out blood and died.

"What! There's poison?"

"What poison is this?"

"How could he poison everyone in an instant?"

The Gold Core Realm cultivators only felt dizzy and could vaguely hear some sharp sounds. They were dumbfounded as they looked at the obvious discomfort of everyone present with shocked expressions.

"It's some kind of sound attack that you can't hear. Everyone, close your ears!"

Ye Wenzhong reminded in a deep voice and narrowed his eyes at the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons. "Is this the most powerful move of the Black Sound Poison Bats? Is that the infamous so-called sound poison?"

"Patriarch Ye is knowledgeable. Enjoy it."

Old Poison laughed out loud, "I have other good things here. You can experience it after you guys survive this wave."

Ye Wenzhong frowned and hurriedly adjusted the array formation of the chariot. Other than resisting the sound wave attack, he tried his best to speed up and leave.

Everyone also controlled their ears to block the sound wave attack as much as possible.

"Why are you running?"

Old Poison chuckled and waved his hand. The Heavenly Poison Sect members behind him released their Dharma treasures. A loud bang was heard and the Bronze Chariot was held back.

Roar!

At this moment, a furious roar tore through the air. A colorful centipede flew out of the forest like a long dragon and rushed over to wrap around the Bronze Chariot, pulling it to the ground.

"Imbecile, you have a death wish!"

Ye Wenzhong, who was about to escape, was furious. He urged his golden Spear to stab at the centipede's vital points.

Clang!

A bead blocked the golden spear. The Old Poison landed on the seven-colored centipede's head and smiled smugly. "Patriarch Ye, you should fight me. Don't bully my sect's Spirit Animal, the Seven-colored Centipede King."

"Damn it, if I don't kill you today, do you really think that the men of the Ye Family are easy to bully!"

Ye Wenzhong couldn't hold it in anymore. He cursed and charged over.

In the distance, a white cloud floated leisurely.

"This is an ultrasonic sound wave…"

Song Shi looked through the white clouds, deep in thought.

Through his special senses, he could "see" a wave-like sound wave attacking the chariot, but unlike the others, he could also actually hear it.

"It should be due to a change in my Physique. I can hear sounds that ordinary people can't."

At this moment, Lu Jiu controlled the wooden ship that everyone was on to stop and did not approach again.

Now that it was a battle between the two sects, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't take advantage of this chaotic situation?

Lu Youyou leaned against the bed and supported her chin as she watched the Heavenly Poison Sect attack the Ye Family's Bronze Chariot. "Strange, now that the Ye Family doesn't have any more treasures, why is the Heavenly Poison Sect still pestering them?"

Song Shi glanced sideways. "I didn't expect you to actually have some brains and know that something is amiss."

"What do you mean I'm brainless!" Lu Youyou was immediately angry.

"Sigh, can you two stop bickering?"

Lu Jiu felt that Song Shi and his daughter's personality were not compatible. They would bicker with just a casual sentence.

"What can you expect from a pig!"

Lu Youyou snorted.

"I was influenced by you."

Song Shi was indignant.

Lu Jiu shook his head. Why did he feel that this Blood-Robed old ghost did not act like the infamous old devil at all, but rather, was more like an energetic young man? n0𝒱𝐄𝑙𝓊𝑆𝔟.𝐂0𝐦

Could it be that the aftermath of the possession was influenced by the consciousness of the person called Song Shi?

Song Shi felt that something was amiss. Why did he have to argue so much with this woman? It made him look like an immature young man who has not had much experiences.

He changed the topic, "Sect Master seems to know the reason why the Heavenly Poison Sect is pestering the Ye Family?"

"It should be to nurture their Body of Ten Thousand Poisons. Perhaps they need the Ye Family's golden blood."

Lu Jiu gave some information. After all, they were all big forces of the Demonic Sect and knew a little about each other.

"Body of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

Some memories of the Blood-Robed old ghost appeared in Song Shi's mind. "It's said that it can control all poisons. This Nomological power is a special physique that is highly toxic. But this is actually formed after Postnatal?"

"Hehe, that's right. Poisons harm others and themselves. It's very difficult to control it. Even if you control it, your body will be corroded by the poison. Didn't you see that those fellows are covering their bodies with black cloth?"

Lu Jiu mocked, "It's not that they like to cover themselves, but most people's bodies have been corroded by poison so much that they're neither human nor ghost."

Ghost Butcher nodded. "That's true. However, if someone looks glamorous and has very powerful poison techniques, you have to be careful. Either their poison techniques are superb, or they have a special physique."

"Body of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

Song Shi was enlightened.

"The Body of Ten Thousand Poisons is extremely impressive. In their Sky Poison Sect, those who can control ten types of poisons are considered elites. Those who can control a hundred poisons can become sect masters and Grand Supreme Elders. Those who can control a thousand poisons are basically Soul Transformation existences."

Lu Jiu shook his head. "This Ten Thousand Poison Body is also called the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Body. It's a physique similar to You You's, but it can be only refined at the Postnatal realm. Moreover, it's even more terrifying and infamous. If they really succeed, they'll be impressive in the future."

"Since it must be refined postnatal, I'm afraid the methods to improve it is a little cruel."

Song Shi muttered to himself. Since they wanted to kill the Ye Family to obtain their golden blood now, he could only imagine that there were even more cruel things to be done for future refinement.

"Cruel? They often do cruel things. They're used to it."

Lu Jiu took a deep look at Song Shi, "We're surprised to hear this from you, Elder Blood Robes."

Ghost Butcher teased, "Haha, could it be that the Blood-robed Elder wants to abandon evil and promote good?"

Lu Youyou looked at Song Shi in a daze. Why didn't this person look like the Blood-Robed old ghost who killed people like flies?

"F*ck, I've been exposed again."

Song Shi scolded himself for being careless. It seemed that he was still not perverted enough and was a little incompatible with the demonic sect.

He said without changing his expression, "When things reach an extreme, the opposite will happen. In the past, I killed too many people and attracted too much revenge. I have to be kind. Otherwise, life will be too boring."

"That makes sense. Although the people of my Demon Cult are not good people, they might not be evil people. Most of them are just extreme and unorthodox."

Lu Jiu nodded. To be honest, if the Blood-Robed old ghost did not have any good intentions, he would be afraid.

Boom!

With a loud bang, everyone's attention was drawn back. The seven-colored centipede king pulled the Bronze chariot down and slammed it to the ground.

A large number of trees were shattered, and a portion of the mountaintop was smashed. A portion of the weaklings on the Bronze Chariot were killed on the spot, and their blood dyed the chariot red.

"The seven-colored centipede, the seven-colored alms bowl… What's the relationship between the Holy Gu Sect and the Heavenly Poison Sect?"

Song Shi let one's imagination run wild when he saw the ferocious seven-colored centipede acting fierce. This was because he also had a seven-colored centipede.

However, his centipede was still weak and he did not care much about it usually.

188 Golden Blood

"It should be a special breed."

Song Shi felt that he was thinking too much. Some poisons were more poisonous the more beautiful they were. Naturally, they were colorful.

The seven colors of the alms bowl most likely corresponded to seven different cultivation nature.

Thinking of the treasures of different natures that appeared in the periphery of the basin, Song Shi stopped this association.

A thunderous sound interrupted his thoughts. The Bronze Chariot that fell to the ground released the power of lightning and killed a large number of bats nearby.

Roar!

The Golden Qilin Beast pulled the chariot and barged forward. The Ye Family used the chariot as a cover to counterattack.

Seeing that the battle had reached its climax, Song Shi's expression changed slightly. He quickly locked onto the few fellows who had killed him.

"You can't die. I have to end you all myself."

He muttered in his heart that there were three Golden Core cultivators and one Nascent Soul cultivator, Ye Wenzhong, who killed him once. He would be the one to deal the finishing blow and obtain four lucky draw chances.

If he found a chance to die a few more times, he could still also get more chances to draw the lottery.

"You want to fight?"

When Lu Jiu saw that Song Shi was a little impatient, he smiled and said, "They're not exhausted yet. Let's wait a little longer."

It could be seen that Lu Jiu had a strong grasp of timing and knew when to maximize the benefits.

The problem was that Song Shi's goal was not quite the same as the others.

He looked down at the battlefield and hesitated.

Now that the lucky draw was right in front of him, it was indeed quite tempting.

"Calm down. No matter what, the weakest of these guys is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Not to mention that one of them is at the Nascent Soul realm, even if the people of the Heavenly Poison Sect are powerful, it should be very difficult to kill them in a short period of time."

Song Shi's gaze wavered. He stared at the movements of the key figures and prepared to wait for an opportunity to make a move.

His gaze was fixed on Ye Wenzhong and the other three. "They attacked me back then. Leave them to me later."

"No problem. Don't you want revenge? As long as there's a chance, I'll give it to you."

Lu Jiu chuckled. He wasn't too interested in killing anyone.

He raised his hand and formed a seal. He controlled the Crowd Control Dharma treasures spaceship to land on the ground. "Let's touch the ground later. This way, we'll be more hidden."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. They thought that they had been discovered in advance.

In the end, the power of the Dharma treasures flew past them and shattered a tree in the distance. Then, it quietened down and no longer attacked.

"It must be a coincidence. Everyone, land on the ground first!"

Lu Jiu said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter even if we're discovered at this time. At most, we'll kidnap and kill the Ye Family with them."

"I'll go scout the way first!"

Before the boat landed, Song Shi tapped lightly and turned into a Phantom image to leave. In a flash, he landed in the forest. A breeze blew past and a leaf swayed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

"What's this guy so anxious about? I've always believed in not making any moves even when I can but he's actually rushing over impatiently."

Ghost Butcher shook his head helplessly.

"People who cultivate Blood Dao cultivation techniques like blood the most. I reckon he also wants to devour more blood to refine his Dharma treasures."

Lu Jiu guessed that he had found the reason for Song Shi's impatience.

"Sect Master, now that you mention it, I remember that his Dharma treasure indeed has the potential to become Numinous artifacts. The Ye Family's golden blood is quite precious. Perhaps he will really succeed."

Ghost Butcher nodded.

Lu Jiu's eyes flickered. He turned to his daughter and said, "Youyou, try to stay away from him as much as possible in the future. This person is too bloodthirsty. His brain is abnormal."

"I'm not too close to him. If he doesn't provoke me, I don't want to talk to him." Lu Youyou snorted.

In the forest.

An afterimage suddenly shuttled past. The trees in front of him were swaying unsteadily. From time to time, a gust of wind would blow over. It could be seen that the battle was very intense. n0𝐯𝑬𝗅𝗎𝓢𝑏.𝓒0𝑀

Song Shi landed a thousand miles away from the edge of the battlefield. Even here, the surrounding vegetation had long been pulverized.

He looked at the two forces fighting in front of him and narrowed his eyes.

The battlefield was actually filled with all kinds of poisonous creatures: scorpions, poisonous snakes, bats, spiders…

The aura of these poisonous creatures was strange. Some of them made him feel danger coming from them.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Poison Sect basically hid behind poisonous creatures and attacked, causing some of the Ye Family members to be poisoned to death on the spot before they could even get close.

Song Shi suddenly felt dizzy. Then he realized that his surroundings were already filled with all kinds of poisonous gases. After breathing for a while, he felt his internal organs burning. His internal organs were being forced to detoxify, and he felt dizzy.

He shifted his gaze and realized that all kinds of poisonous substances were still releasing poison. Moreover, these poisonous gases were condensing and not dissipating. They were fusing and changing forms.

"Good lord, the longer we fight these guys, the more terrifying the poison here will be."

Song Shi felt that these guys were walking poison depots and were very suitable for him to farm deaths…

He swept his gaze around and his eyes darted around.

Boom!

After another intense collision, Song Shi saw that the defense of the Bronze chariot had been broken. The intense energy was released like a bomb.

When the aftershock spread, it formed a shocking gust. Endless dust, gravel, and soil flew everywhere.

The waves mixed with soil and rocks swept up the surrounding vegetation. For a moment, the sky was filled with dust, and most of the people were sent flying.

If Qi Refinement realm cultivators did not have the protection of Dharma artifacts and talismans, they would basically be torn apart by the aftershock in the air.

The Foundation Establishment realm and the Golden Core realm were slightly better. They needed to spend a lot of effort to stabilize their bodies.

On Song Shi's side, many people fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Seeing that the scene was chaotic and his vision was affected, his eyes lit up and locked onto one of them. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward to face the aftershock.

Ye Jingtian landed pathetically on the barren mountain slope. The silver armor on his body dimmed and many cracks appeared. The silver spear Dharma treasures in his hand dimmed.

His face was covered in dust as he stared at the Bronze chariot with an ugly expression. "These guys actually broke the Ye Family's chariot so quickly. They're really ferocious."

As he was thinking, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted. A fog appeared, as if he had been pulled into another scene.

Before he could investigate, a dangerous aura suddenly surged from behind.

"He's quite fast. He dares to attack again before the aftershocks subside!"

He saw the reason. The aftershocks that were still wreaking havoc around him just now had turned into fog. Even his perception was disturbed. There must be an enemy who had used certain methods to achieve this.

Without hesitation, he turned around and stabbed. An afterimage dodged and a golden fist quickly enlarged in front of him.

"So fast!"

In his surprise, he had no choice but to retreat and hold the spear horizontally in front of him. With a crisp clang, the spear actually bent violently.

His hands were numb, and in the intense pain, he felt a terrifying force surging over. He could barely hold his spear and was directly smashed into the hill behind him by an overwhelming force.

BANG!

Song Shi's punch not only sent the fellow flying, but it also left a huge pit on the ground.

The latter fell into the pit and his body trembled, especially his hands. They were actually a little deformed, and his wrists were bleeding. He was directly injured by the fierce and domineering power.

Ye Jingtian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Who?"

The Ye Family had the bloodline of the Golden Divine Body. Their physical bodies had always been strong and indestructible like gold. This was the first time someone had suppressed their physical bodies head-on.

Weren't the people from the Heavenly Poison Sect skilled in using poison? Who had such a strong physique?

"The man who killed you."

Swoosh!

Song Shi instantly caught up and used the cover of the Reversal Array Disk to forcefully kill this target to get a chance to draw the lottery.

Ye Jingtian looked to be in his thirties and could be considered a young elite. He frowned as he stared at Song Shi, who was charging at him again. The power of the nine suns condensed into a circle of scorching energy, and there was a white light between his brows, like the moon.

His pupils contracted. "It's you!"

At such a close distance, how could he not tell Song Shi's identity? What surprised him was that he knew this person to be working hard for the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Why was he suddenly with the Heavenly Poison Sect?

Thinking of a possibility, just as he was about to question him, Song Shi had already activated the Dragon Subduing Palm without another word.

For a moment, fire dragons danced and heat waves surged. Song Shi was like a volcano, erupting with astonishing attacks.

Sensing Song Shi's domineering and scorching power, Ye Jingtian's expression changed slightly.

"This guy is too strong. How did he do it? His realm is even lower than mine!"

He didn't understand. He, who had always been regarded as a genius of the Ye Family, was indeed arrogant. At this moment, he actually couldn't deal with a person who had possessed his body and re-cultivated.

"What's his physique? What cultivation technique does he cultivate? How can he have such a powerful physical body?"

He could not figure it out.

The powerful attack made him realize that he would be at a disadvantage if he fought head-on. He retreated again and gripped the spear tightly with both hands. Golden light shone brightly as he stabbed the spear at Song Shi's palm.

His stab was incomparably ruthless. A series of sonic booms sounded in the air, as if he wanted to pierce through Song Shi's palm.

However, Song Shi's attack suddenly changed midway. He turned his palm into a claw, and his dragon-shaped Nomological power twisted as he grabbed the spear.

A portion of the power continued to attack and bombarded the Nomological power barrier on Ye Jingtian's chest.

He used a variation of the Dragon Subduing Palm and forcefully changed his attack into a entanglement. His face turned red as he forcefully snatched the spear away.

"What!"

Seeing Song Shi ignore the backlash from forcefully changing his move and snatching his Dharma treasures away, he was stunned.

Did he not want to live anymore? Just now, he had such a strong outburst and suddenly changed his attack midway. At this moment, his physical strength must have been messed up by his Nomological power, right?

He was sent flying by a portion of the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm, and his chest was hit by the Nine Yang Nomological power. His clothes turned to ashes under the scorching palm force, leaving a charred handprint.

He spat out a mouthful of blood. After stabilizing himself, he sneered, "It must not be easy for you to change your strength at the last minute."

"It's nothing to me."

Song Shi did not care about the internal injuries caused by the unreasonable change of moves. To him, this kind of damage was nothing. It could not compare to death at all.

He stomped hard on the ground and shot out with a bang. He stabbed the other party's Dharma treasure back.

"This isn't a mortal weapon. So what if you snatch it away?"

Ye Jingtian sneered. With a thought, he formed a hand seal and controlled his Dharma treasures. n0𝑣𝗲𝐋𝓊𝗌𝚋.𝒸0𝗆

The spear trembled and shone brightly, trying to break free from his control.

Seeing that the thrust was not very accurate, Song Shi simply changed the direction of the spear and injected brute force into it, forcefully smashing it at the other party.

This time, the latter had time to use both hands to receive it. The spear smashed heavily into the other party's magical power barrier that had already been destroyed once, causing it to shatter in a violent distortion.

The spear struck the other party's body. The latter grunted and was sent flying again with a bloody wound on his arms.

Ye Jingtian could sense that the gap between them was huge, and his life would be in danger if he continued. But he was unwilling to give up. He had never been suppressed so easily by someone of a lower level.

He gritted his teeth and activated all the Dharmic powers in his body. The power of his bloodline also erupted, forming an even stronger power. The surrounding air clearly distorted because of his eruption.

At this moment, he had already unleashed all his strength and even exceeded his usual performance. In the end, a blood river drowned him, and his Nomological power was corroded at a terrifying speed.

"Oh no, I forgot that he also has Dharma treasures!"

He wanted to escape, but the blood river that drowned him was incomparably sticky. It was like a swamp, and it was very difficult for him to move.

"It's over!"

Just as he was panicking and screaming that something was wrong, he felt a pain between his eyebrows. Then, his consciousness began to blur.

There was a click.

A spear pierced through Ye Jingtian's head and nailed him to the ground.

He had obtained a lucky draw ticket!

Faint golden blood flowed out from between his brows. Song Shi took another look. "I didn't expect it to really be golden blood. No wonder it's called Golden Bloodline."

Brilliant Will-O-Wisp bloomed in the blood. It contained abundant energy and looked like the blood of a god. It was rather magical and extraordinary.

The blood-colored belt on his waist suddenly trembled, as if it had encountered something delicious. Then, the blood river took the initiative to surge towards his body and crazily devour the energy in his blood.

Song Shi could clearly sense that the Dharma treasures were rapidly improving after devouring the other party's flesh and blood essence.

"There's actually such an effect. Looks like this golden blood is very extraordinary. No wonder the Heavenly Poison Sect is also scheming."

Song Shi fell into deep thought. He felt that if the blood river could devour enough golden blood, it could probably be upgraded to the level of Numinous artifacts.

At this moment, the Life and Death Gu between his eyebrows began to move restlessly, but he ignored it.

As he controlled the Blood River to devour the latter's flesh and blood essence, he pulled out his spear at the same time.

The Dharma treasures buzzed. Due to the death of their master, their resistance gradually subsided.

He formed a seal and condensed runes. After a few seals, he put it away. Although Song Shi was temporarily unable to unleash its power, it was not a problem for him to use it as a normal weapon.

After killing this Golden Core cultivator, Song Shi grinned. He stabbed the spear to the side and formed a seal with both hands.

Thousand Transformations!

His flesh squirmed and his bones creaked. Song Shi quickly transformed into Ye Jingtian and looked around.

The storm outside had just subsided and the surrounding people did not know that a Golden Core Realm Martial King had died.

The area he was in was affected by the Array Formation. It was very difficult for outsiders to investigate. Under such circumstances, they did not dare to approach.

Song Shi threw out a fireball and easily turned Ye Jingtian's corpse into ashes.

Song Shi muttered, "The Blood River sucked him dry."

At this moment, a long black and white line appeared in the ashes. He grabbed it and put it away.

The Blood River quickly retracted its power and returned to its belt. This time, there was an additional golden line in the blood color. It looked a little impressive.

He didn't stay long. He quickly picked up the formation plate and approached the next 'lottery draw'.

He did not stop the array disc from releasing its power, so when he moved, the power of the Array Formation also moved, enveloping some other people.

"What's that!"

The members of the Heavenly Poison Sect and the Ye Family were on guard. The former thought that it was the latter's doing, and the latter thought so too.

The Ye Family's Golden Core cultivator was wary of the strange fog. When he saw the golden figure approaching and realized that it was one of his own, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Jingtian, have you fought with the owner of this fog?"

"No one."

Song Shi quickly approached. When the latter lost his guard, he thrust his spear over and said at the same time, "After all, the owner is me. How shall we fight?"

"You… you are not Jingtian!"

The person who was ambushed widened his eyes and looked at Song Shi.

Report chapter Comments

It was too late to react now.

In a head-on battle, he was no match for Song Shi, let alone being ambushed at this moment.

The spear pierced through his head and ended him in the most direct and fastest way.

Under his indignant gaze, the Ye Family Elite fell to the ground and died. The blood river surged over and began to devour his flesh and blood.

At this moment, black and white Qi pulsed between Song Shi's brows, emitting a desire to devour.

"Here we go again!" n0𝑣𝗲𝐋𝓊𝗌𝚋.𝒸0𝗆

Song Shi pursed his lips and did not give the Life and Death Gu a chance, it still did not manage to devour the other party.

When he turned this person's corpse into ashes, another long black and white snake flew out. Its entire body contained the same unique energy.

This was formed from the other party's essence, qi, and spirit which was absorbed by the Life and Death Gu. If he wanted to, he could quickly refine it.

However, he was in the midst of a battle and it was not suitable for him to refine power of the same level. He hence put it away and continued to search for the last Golden Core target.

The latter was fighting with an old woman from the Heavenly Poison Sect. He should have been poisoned. At this moment, his face was green and black, and his breathing was a little hurried.

The golden blood on his body seemed to be boiling as he released a powerful force to resist the invasion of the toxins. He could still maintain his combat strength and occasionally rebuff the old woman back.

"Hehe, the toxin will invade your heart very soon. You actually dare to use the power of your bloodline now."

The old woman sneered sinisterly. The top of the walking stick Dharma treasures in her hand was a green snake's head. It was constantly releasing wisps of poisonous gas that enveloped the nearby green poisonous fog.

She only focused on defense. No matter how the other party attacked, she was not in a hurry. It was obvious that she wanted to drag the other party to death.

"Soon, our reinforcements will arrive. All of you shady beasts will die!"

The Ye Family cultivator sneered and forcefully endured the discomfort in his body. He waved the Dharma treasures in his hand and the toxic air was sliced open. Even the poisonous fog could not approach for the time being.

At this moment, the green fog beside him twisted slightly. Then, wisps of white fog appeared and enveloped the green fog, quickly changing its color.

Seeing that her poisonous gas was somehow affected by something, the old woman was stunned for a moment. She could tell that this method did not come from her own people.

Song Shi disguised himself as Ye Jingtian and appeared in the fog. He said to the Ye Family's Golden Core cultivator, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come over."

The latter was surprised. He saw that the white fog came from a special Array Formation Power and said in surprise, "Jingtian, when did you obtain this thing? It looks quite practical."

"Cut the crap. If you don't come over, you can continue to wait for death."

The old woman frowned and raised her walking stick. The snake head seemed to come alive and instantly turned into a dark green snake. It opened its mouth and bit at its target.

"God Slayer!"

A stunning sword light was released and cut off the snake formed by Nomological power. The latter's face became even paler.

He was already poisoned. The more he used his power, the faster the toxin would infest him.

Without any hesitation, he retreated into the fog. With his back facing Song Shi, he said, "Jingtian, sorry to trouble you. Give me some time to detoxify the poison."

"Pfft."

A sword tip appeared between his brows and blood gushed out.

"What's the point of detoxifying? Just die. Then there won't be any trouble for me."

Song Shi reached out and grabbed the latter's arm, suppressing him on the spot. The latter turned his head with difficulty to look at his clansman.

The other party's cold gaze already proved that this was not the real Ye Jingtian.

"Who are you!"

He questioned with difficulty. Even until his death, he wanted to know who had schemed against him.

"I never changed my name. I'm Blood Robes, Blood Robes that dye the mountains and rivers red!"

Song Shi smiled. "If you want revenge, find me in hell."

"You… shameless!"

The Ye Family elder cursed with his eyes wide open. His brain and soul were shattered by the power of the sword and he died on the spot.

"Ding… congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

The notification beside his ear made Song Shi grin. "Wait, I said wrongly. Your soul has been destroyed by me, so you probably won't have a chance to go to hell."

On the other side, the old woman outside the fog was about to give chase when her nostrils suddenly shrank.

She subtly picked up the scent of blood. She stopped in her tracks and stared at the fog. She thought that her cultivators had been killed.

"This is the Array Formation Power, but it can move. It should have come from the array disc. Although it doesn't affect me too much, there are at least two of them in there. Just in case, it's better to find a helper to enter together."

She turned around to see who was free and found that several people of the same level were free. She was not too busy and said in surprise, "Where are your prey? Weren't you fighting previously?"

"They were all swallowed by a fog. They're probably gathering now. It's best for everyone to gather together so that they won't be defeated one by one."

The inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Poison Sect who had fought Ye Jingtian shrugged. "Because I didn't know the situation in the fog, I didn't enter as it was too rash."

"My thoughts are similar to yours. Now, let's join forces and explore. Let's see who it is!"

The three of them gathered and used their defensive methods to charge into the fog with their Dharma treasures.

Song Shi was dealing with the corpses when he saw the old woman with her head wrapped in red cloth approaching with two other fellows. One of them was wrapped in a red cloth while the other was wrapped in a white cloth like a mummy. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

As expected, they thought that he was from the Ye Family since he pretended to be from the Ye family to ambush the Ye family. Moreover, the people from the Heavenly Poison Sect could not see the situation clearly hence it was quite normal for them to mistake the Ye Family for targeting them.

He did not want to reveal his identity at this time. At this moment, the power of the Yin Yang Reversal Formation Disc was not enough to resist the three Golden Cores. After thinking for a moment, Song Shi decided to continue pretending to be Ye Jingtian to see if he could die a few more times.

Outside, after the three of them approached the fog, they looked at each other and tacitly separated. They started advancing in a triangular formation.

The old woman with the highest cultivation level walked in front. She made a hand gesture to slow down and stared at the fog warily. Her walking stick hit the ground a few times.

She released her Nomological power which transformed into a group of small snakes. They swam towards the fog in different directions and probed the way first.

As soon as they entered, a sword light lit up for an instant, and the snakes' heads that reached in were cut off. Then, its entire body collapsed as it twisted, turning into energy and dissipating.

Seeing the sword light, the old woman suddenly raised her head and sneered. "Ye Jingtian is the only one attacking for the time being. Ye Sai has already been poisoned by my snake venom and can't use much of his strength. I don't think there will be many people inside. Let's kill our way in first!"

"Hehe, just from the fact that he's hiding inside like a chicken, a coward, and a scaredy cat, I can tell that their situation isn't good."

The mummy-like elder beside him let out a strange laugh. It sounded like rusty iron rubbing against each other, and it was especially ear-piercing.

"I don't think this array formation is very powerful. Let's release the poison first!"

The other person was much more cautious. Blood-colored shadows shot out from under his feet. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the fog and approached Song Shi.

Song Shi saw that it was a living creature this time. It was a breed of special red ants. At this moment, they condensed into a ball. After landing, it suddenly exploded.

The red ants instantly filled the nearby space and quickly crawled everywhere. The things left behind on the way corroded the ground and grass, leaving an obvious mark.

As there were a lot of them, Song Shi's location was quickly located. The group of ants looked small, but they were extremely powerful in numbers.

"Good move!"

This time, Song Shi could not kill the ants with his sword. Instead, he released a circle of fireballs, wanting to burn these ants to death.

A strange scene happened. These ants were actually not afraid of fire, or rather, the fireball was of a harmless threat to them. They were still approaching.

As long as an ant discovered him, the other ants would quickly notice him.

The elder of the Heavenly Poison Sect who released the ants outside sneered. "My Poison Fire Ants are not afraid of fire. You can see how terrifying it is to be bitten by ants."

Song Shi frowned when he heard that. He was not afraid of death, but being bitten to death by a group of ants would definitely be torture.

At this moment, bugs also emerged from the mummy-like creature's body. However, they were pitch-black and looked a little like cockroaches. They were densely packed. After crawling out, they surged towards Song Shi.

He felt his scalp go numb. Among the three of them, only the old woman was normal. She used snake venom. It was fine if these two guys raised bugs, but this guy actually raised his bugs on his own body. It was disgusting.

The black bugs seemed to have determined his location before the Poison Fire Ants. They emitted a strange sizzling sound and surged towards him with a purpose.

He didn't want to become bug food and immediately retreated a hundred feet away with a frown. Then, he realized that these black bugs were rushing towards the corpses of the Ye Family cultivators who hadn't been completely devoured by the blood river.

"This thing can detect the smell of blood!"

"F*ck, it's not easy to die like this, I won't play with you guys anymore!"

He cursed and lifted the Blood River to sweep up the corpse. He turned around and left.

Now that his body was strong, it was difficult for him to die immediately even if he was poisoned. If he had to be bitten to death by a bunch of insects, he would rather not die.

He, Song Shi, also followed a certain standard. How could he die so easily?

Even if he was courting death, the quality of the deaths had to be high enough, the death had to be straightforward, or else he had to die while enjoying himself.

He would definitely reject being tortured to death, it was a fate worse than death itself. Unless it was in a beggars can't be choosers situation.

"Escaping?"

Sensing Song Shi's movements, the mummy sneered. "Hehe, was he afraid? The three of us attacking together actually scared him away. This means that their situation is not good."

"Where do you think you're going? Do you think you can get away from us?"

The three of them sneered. After confirming that the other party was in a feeble state, they stopped probing and increased their speed with their Dharma treasures, charging into the fog.

"…"

Song Shi did not expect these three people to still dare to chase after him. Did they really think that he was easy to bully?

He glanced at the battlefield and realized that many Ye Family cultivators had been poisoned to death. At this moment, other than using the Life and Death Gu to devour the power of the dead, they were also extracting the blood of the Ye Family cultivators.

As for the independent cultivators who followed the Ye Family to the ruins, they had all escaped. He actually did not notice this.

Originally, the Ye Family had brought many independent cultivators to help. Now that they were in danger, they took the opportunity to slip away one by one, greatly weakening the Ye Family's strength.

The Heavenly Poison Sect did not stop these cultivators from escaping. Instead, they were happy to see this happening. n0𝚟𝑒𝔩𝓊𝐒𝔟.𝒸0𝓂

Without the help of the independent cultivators, the situation has become one-sided.

Just as he was about to force the three of them to use their Dharma treasures to give him a quick death, the sound of thunder came from the distant sky.

Their expressions changed and they stopped in their tracks.

On the horizon, three huge Bronze chariots charged over.

Song Shi stopped in his tracks and stared at the chariot with a surprised expression, "The Ye Family's reinforcements are actually so fast!"

He was glad that he had acted early and ambushed the Ye Family when their formation was interrupted by the Heavenly Poison Sect. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to kill the three Golden Cores now.

Boom!

Before the Bronze War Chariot approached, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled amidst the bright light. Bolts of lightning struck first, blasting many Heavenly Poison Sect cultivators away.

Ye Wenzhong laughed loudly. "You didn't expect this, did you? I asked my clansmen to come and receive us in advance. Do you really think you can kill us at our doorstep?"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons looked at the reinforcements and smiled playfully, "When did I say that I wanted to annihilate all of you? I just wanted to take some blood."

A few worms that looked like leeches swam between his fingers. They were golden in color and had clearly swallowed a lot of blood. And the blood belonged to Ye Wenzhong.

"We're almost done with the collection of blood. Everyone, retreat."

Just as he gave the order to retreat, he suddenly sensed something. His expression changed slightly as he retreated a little. He raised his hand and threw a ball of colorful poisonous smoke at Ye Wenzhong.

"Hmph, do you think you can bully the Ye Family whenever you want?"

Ye Wenzhong's spear shot out like a dragon. The golden spear shadow broke through the poisonous smoke and chased after him in large strides.

When his vision became affected, the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons smiled smugly.

Black gas churned under the poisonous smoke. Chains suddenly shot out and quickly wrapped around the golden spear. At the same time, they landed on Ye Wenzhong.

The latter did not expect that there would be an ambush attack and was shocked. Golden light erupted from his body and he wanted to break free from the chain, but the power of extreme Yin suddenly surged out from the chain and sealed his Dharma power.

At this moment, there was a flash of light beside him. He felt pain all over his body and screamed. A large number of Leech worms bit through his defense and burrowed into his body. Making it look like there were many terrifying bumps on his body.

The surrounding poisonous smoke invaded through the wound, and his skin turned colorful. His Nomological power quickly weakened.

Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons' poison and Lu Jiu's sneak attack, Soul Binding Chains, easily suppressed him on the spot.

He looked at the chain in shock and anger. "Lu Jiu, it's you!"

Having fought with Lu Jiu before, how could he not recognize the chains that bound his Dharma treasures and body? However, he did not expect that the Heavenly Ghost Sect would also ambush them.

"Patriarch Ye, just because there are reinforcements doesn't mean that they can save you."

Lu Jiu appeared behind Ye Wenzhong. At the same time, Ghost Butcher and the others also appeared. They originally wanted to wait for the fight to die down before reaping the benefits. When they sensed that reinforcements had arrived, they decisively chose to cooperate with the Heavenly Poison Sect.

Otherwise, they might not be able to achieve anything today.

"Patriarch!"

When the reinforcements on the Bronze Chariot saw Ye Wenzhong's encounter, they shouted anxiously and immediately rushed over.

"Stop them!"

Lu Jiu waved his hand and stared at Ye Wenzhong, "You must die today!"

Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons chuckled, "Sect Master Lu, if not for the reinforcements, you would have taken advantage of our Heavenly Poison Sect today. This is not how an ally behaves."

As he spoke, he also arranged for extra people to block the reinforcements.

Originally, the number of cultivators in a family like the Ye Family could not compare to a sect, so they brought a group of independent cultivators to support them.

Now that the independent cultivators had fled, their numbers were severely insufficient. It would not be a problem for them to work with the Heavenly Ghost Sect to stop the Ye Family's reinforcements.

"Hehe, Old Poison, we're all from Demonic Cult. There's no need to say such pompous words." Lu Jiu smiled faintly.

Everyone knew that unscrupulousness was a characteristic of the Demonic Cults.

"Alright, but we can't be at a disadvantage. I want this old man's heart blood and soul!"

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons did not waste his breath on Lu Jiu and stated his request.

"No problem."

Lu Jiu happily agreed.

Hearing that the two of them were actually discussing how to divide him up, Ye Wenzhong's eyes instantly darkened.

He knew that he was at a dead end and that no one would be able to help him in a short period of time. Fury appeared in his eyes. "Alright, I really didn't expect my Ye Family to be worthy of the siege of the two demonic sects. However, it won't be so easy to kill me."

Pointing at his heart, the golden blood in his body boiled. He formed a seal with both hands and shouted with a solemn expression, "Golden-armored Heavenly God Possession!"

The golden light on his body shone brightly, and the Nomological power barrier appeared again. It quickly thickened, and a terrifying aura brewed.

A golden Axe divine pattern appeared between his brows. A mysterious, dignified, and domineering aura spread out. The surrounding Void distorted, and the poisonous insects that entered his body were forced out one by one.

"Hmph!"

With an angry snort, Ye Wenzhong's old hair danced in the air as his body rapidly expanded. With a crack, Lu Jiu's chains were actually broken.

"This old man is going all out!"

Lu Jiu's expression changed. After raising his hand, another chain shot out and wrapped around Ye Wenzhong to stop him from erupting.

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons waved his robe and three sharp and poisonous flying daggers shot out at an even faster speed.

Ding, ding, ding!

The Dharma treasures and flying daggers were actually blocked by the energy barrier released by Ye Wenzhong and could not advance even an inch.

At this moment, his eyes were golden. A giant figure appeared out of thin air behind him. It was more than a thousand meters tall and stood among the cultivators like a huge mountain.

This figure was covered in golden armor and held a huge axe in his hand. His eyes were like the sun, without any emotions. He looked down at all living beings as if he was looking at ants.

A terrifying domineering might enveloped the world. For a moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the sun and moon lost their color. Only the Golden Armor Heavenly God reigned supreme in the world.

The hearts of the two demonic sects sank, and their souls trembled. They felt insignificant and they even lost their fighting spirit when facing the Golden Armor Heavenly God.

The Ye Family members' blood boiled and their aura surged. They shouted fervently, "Heavenly God, Heavenly God!"

"This thing is quite cool. It looks even more powerful than the evil god projection."

Song Shi looked up at the phantom of the god that possessed Ye Wenzhong. Could this be the so-called summoning of a god?

"There must be a generous reward for being killed by this thing, right?"

His gaze shifted, and he had a thought.

"What a joke. He's just a phantom. How dare he call himself a Heavenly God?"

"An ant dares to touch a god?"

The Golden Armor Heavenly God spoke in a buzzing voice, as if it had a certain level of consciousness. This was similar to the projection of the evil god that Song Shi had encountered back then.

However, the difference was that the Heretic God's projection relied on a blood sacrifice and an Array Formation. This phantom God should have used Ye Wenzhong's bloodline to unleash some power.

However, after careful observation, he realized that the mastermind was still Ye Wenzhong. It was not the true consciousness of a god.

In the face of Lu Jiu's attack, the Golden Armor Heavenly God's axe gently lowered. With a loud bang, Lu Jiu's ghost hand shattered and he was forced back.

The huge axe paused for a moment before slashing down at Lu Jiu. The void in its path was vaguely broken.

Lu Jiu dodged with fear. With a bang, a canyon-like Fissure was split open in the ground.

The Golden Armor Heavenly God's hand descended and grabbed at the Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons. The latter immediately turned into a ball of colorful poisonous fog.

The golden hand squeezed casually and the air exploded. The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons grunted and revealed his physical body, suffering some losses.

"I'm going to slay a god today!"

Ghost Butcher, who was blocking the reinforcements, roared when he saw that the sect master was at a disadvantage. His Nomological power transformed into a huge evil spirit that rushed over and knocked the Golden Armor Heavenly God back.

As he attacked this phantom, the other people from the Demonic Sect also came back to their senses. They were no longer too afraid and continued to attack.

"Piss off!"

The Golden Armor Heavenly God swung his axe. With a deafening sound, the giant phantom's body was sent flying. Blood flowed from the corner of Ghost Butcher's mouth.

There was fear in his eyes. "This old dog already has the strength comparable to the Soul Transformation realm after being possessed by a god. I can't fight him head-on." n0𝚟𝑒𝔩𝓊𝐒𝔟.𝒸0𝓂

The difference between the Soul Transformation realm and the Nascent Soul realm was huge. It was like the difference between the Golden Core realm and the Foundation Establishment realm. There was an obvious qualitative change.

In fact, the Soul Transformation realm should be called the Essence Soul realm, which refers to cultivating the Essence Soul. As for why it was called the Soul Transformation realm, it was because this realm could mobilize the power of some gods and transform one into gods.

Ye Wenzhong had relied on his special bloodline to achieve this in advance. For the time being, no one was his match.

At the same time, the Golden Armor Heavenly God's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Lu Jiu and the other two saw this, their eyes lit up.

"Haha, this old dog can't hold on for long with the strength of a Nascent Soul."

The Perfected Lord of Hundred Poisons laughed out loud. "After exhausting his strength, he will be as weak as a dead dog by the roadside."

He activated his poisonous fog Dharma treasures and rushed forward, preparing to deliberately consume Ye Wenzhong's Dharmic powers.

Ye Wenzhong, who had just enjoyed the pleasure of his sudden increase in strength, was shocked. Even with his Nascent Soul cultivation and bloodline power, he could not withstand such a level of consumption.

He did not dare to tangle with the three Nascent Souls anymore and walked towards the reinforcements.

He waved his huge axe and blocked the attacks of Lu Jiu and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators. At the same time, he forced the nearby cultivators of the Demonic Cults to retreat with the Ye Family.

Song Shi saw that Ye Wenzhong was retreating and thought for a moment. He maintained Ye Jingtian's appearance and followed the Ye Family members closer to Ye Wenzhong.

The latter's strength was rapidly depleting. After moving a dozen times just now, its body had already shrunk by more than half and was now less than a thousand feet.
