Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The wasteland was deathly silent, with only a swirling vortex of filth slowly turning in the sky, like the gaping maw of an abyss, emitting a silent, chilling shriek.

The dark purple fog churned, and what emerged from it were no longer the previous blurry, filthy demonic figures, but dozens or even hundreds of pitch-black demonic figures exuding the aura of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, with ferocious faces and solidified energy!

They seemed to crawl out of the deepest nightmare, their claws and fangs gleaming with a filthy, cold light, carrying an all-consuming malice, like a surging black tide, instantly engulfing Yu Changsheng, who had just broken through to the Void Refinement stage and stood holding his sword.

"Watch out!" Behind them, Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing's hearts clenched. Even with the pressure of Yu Changsheng's breakthrough forming during his Void Refinement stage, the pure evil and destructive aura still made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their source energy circulation becoming stagnant. This was no ordinary battle; it was facing the erosion of the abyss's very essence!

However, facing this raging tide of demonic shadows that could instantly annihilate even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, Yu Changsheng's eyes remained as cold as ancient ice, without the slightest ripple.

Breaking through to the Void Refinement stage is not merely an improvement in one's realm, but a leap in one's life level and a deeper mastery of the laws of heaven and earth.

He didn't even raise the Guixu Sword very high; he merely flicked his wrist, causing the blade to tremble slightly. *Whoosh!*

A ripple of primordial chaos spread silently from him. It wasn't an impact of energy, but a pure, higher-dimensional suppression of laws!

The few demonic shadows charging at the forefront, their ferocious claws less than three feet from Yu Changsheng, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of sighs, inscribed with the Dao patterns of "chaos" and "return to nothingness".

Their movements froze instantly, their bodies, made of filthy energy, began to twist and disintegrate violently, like sandcastles being blown by a gale. They didn't even have time to scream before turning into wisps of black smoke, which were swallowed and purified by the ripples, and finally returned to nothingness.

The annihilation properties of the Guixu Sword were amplified infinitely by the power of the Refinement Realm at this moment. Yu Changsheng did not move, but his wrist holding the sword would point, slash, or guide.

Every subtle movement was accompanied by a burst of extremely refined gray sword energy.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be erased by an invisible eraser.

No matter how bizarre the shape of the approaching demonic shadows or how condensed their energy, once they touched this chaotic sword energy, they melted and annihilated in large swathes, just like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

Some were pierced directly through the core by the sword energy, their cores shattering like glass; others were swept by the edge of the sword energy, a large chunk of their massive bodies disappearing silently, their impure energy being completely purified and transformed into pure spiritual energy particles that dissipated; still others were directly swallowed by the miniature chaotic vortexes created where the sword energy swept, becoming part of the nourishment for the Guixu Sword and the Chaos Mark.

Crush!

An absolute, unquestionable crushing defeat!

Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing stared in disbelief at the scene.

The horde of demonic shadows that had just surged like a tidal wave and filled people with despair turned out to be as fragile as paper toys in front of Yu Changsheng.

The power of the Void Refinement Realm was displayed so vividly before them for the first time; it was a power that transcended the amount of energy and went straight to the origin of the rules.

In Yu Changsheng's hands, the Guixu Sword is no longer just a sharp divine weapon, but has become the authority to control chaos and pronounce annihilation!

"This is... the power of the Void Refinement Realm..." Wang Cheng gripped the reforged giant sword in his hand, his heart filled with unparalleled shock, but with it came a deeper sense of vigilance.

The stronger Senior Brother Yu becomes, the more terrifying the counterattack of that filthy vortex will inevitably be!
As if confirming Wang Cheng's worries, the huge dark purple vortex at the center of the sky suddenly paused, and then erupted into an even more violent churning!

The silent shriek suddenly rose in pitch, transforming into a tangible mental shockwave that slammed into Yu Changsheng and the other two.

Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing groaned, their faces turning deathly pale. If Yu Changsheng hadn't promptly released a wisp of his Void Refinement aura to protect them, their souls would likely have been injured.

At the core of the filthy vortex, a dark purple, thick substance resembling congealed blood, suddenly lit up a "point" whose shape was indescribable.

The next instant, a dark purple beam of light, only as thick as an arm but so condensed as to be terrifying, seemingly compressing all the filth and evil intent of the entire abyss into it, tore through space, ignoring distance, and arrived in an instant!

The appearance of this beam of light caused the remaining battle spirits and remnants of the entire Investiture of the Gods battlefield to let out extremely mournful howls, as if they had encountered their true nemesis and natural enemy.

Wherever it passed, space was not shattered, but rather eroded and assimilated, leaving behind a dark purple trail that exuded an ominous aura.

The beam of light has only one target—Yu Changsheng!

Yu Changsheng's calm gaze finally turned serious. This pillar of light contained a corrupted primordial law far surpassing that of the Abyss Hunter, the Filthy Demon Shadow, and even the War Soul Leader!

It is filled with a will to devour, which is corrupt, decadent, twisted and eternal. Its core purpose is to pollute the newly generated chaotic source power in his body and erode his newly sublimated soul and chaotic imprint!
"Chaos Returns to Ruins·Yu!"

Yu Changsheng let out a clear shout, and the Guixu Sword traced a profound trajectory in front of him. A vast and boundless stream of Refining Void level chaotic source power surged out, instantly forming a rapidly spinning, enormous chaotic vortex shield in front of him. The core of the vortex was deep, as if connected to the source of chaos, while its edges flowed with Xuanhuang Qi and wisps of annihilating gray light.

Boom——! ! !
The dark purple beam of light slammed into the chaotic vortex shield!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a grating, teeth-grinding friction sound, as if space itself was being forcibly torn apart and then forcibly mended.

Two completely different primordial laws, dark purple and primordial gray, collided, eroded, and corroded each other fiercely. Terrifying fragments of the laws scattered like shattered glass, each containing destructive power enough to severely injure a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, carving deep, bottomless trenches into the metal wasteland below.

Yu Changsheng's body trembled slightly, and the ground beneath his feet silently sank.

He felt unprecedented pressure!
That foul primordial law was extremely stubborn and cunning, like a maggot clinging to a bone, frantically trying to penetrate the defenses of the chaotic vortex and find gaps in the source energy to contaminate it. The Returning Void Sword hummed slightly in his hand, constantly guiding, devouring, and transforming the invading foul power, but the consumption was far greater than when he had annihilated the demonic shadows!
Just as Yu Changsheng was doing his best to resist the primordial filth beam, the core of the filthy vortex seemed to be completely enraged, as if a long-brewing killing move had finally been completed.

The rotation speed of the entire vortex suddenly increased to its limit, and the enormous energy collapsed and converged wildly inward!
At the center of the vortex, a dark purple, viscous substance writhes and shapes like a living thing. Countless twisted limbs, sharp bone spikes, slippery tentacles, and inhuman mouthparts appear and disappear amidst the churning energy, eventually coalescing into a massive and distorted monster—tens of meters tall, its form constantly shifting between beastly and humanoid shapes, devoid of any beauty, only a nauseating chaos and blasphemy. Huge bone armor covers its vital parts, but dark purple pus flows from the gaps in the shell, and countless tiny tentacles wriggle at its joints. Its head resembles a dragon but is not, with jagged fangs, and a single eye takes up half of its head, its pupil a vortex of constantly flowing filth.

At its core, a violently pulsating, dark purple "heart" formed from the purest source of filth is clearly visible, radiating an evil and power far exceeding that of the filthy heart previously wielded by the Abyss Hunter! This is the strongest weapon that the will of the source of filth can materialize under the rules of the battlefield at this moment—the Filthy Source Hunter!
Roar--! ! !
A silent roar, yet striking straight to the soul, filled with endless madness and a devouring desire, accompanied by the terrifying pressure of the peak early stage of the Void Refinement realm, swept across the entire battlefield like a tangible tsunami!

Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer. Even with Yu Changsheng's oppressive aura protecting them, they felt as if their internal organs were about to shift, and their souls were as if they had been thrown into a filthy swamp, suffocating and filled with despair.

On the earth, the remains of weapons that had been silent for countless ages wailed and shattered under this pressure. The lingering remnants of ancient war spirits were like snowflakes thrown into strong acid, instantly melting or being polluted and assimilated, becoming part of the foul black mist churning around Yuan Shou.

Yuan Shou's enormous single eye instantly locked onto Yu Changsheng, who was resisting the pillar of light, filled with savagery and greed. It took a sudden step forward, causing the earth to crack, and its massive body, with a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size, launched a fierce attack!

The battle instantly heats up!
Genshou's attacks are unpredictable and varied.

A dark purple beam of light burst forth from its gigantic maw, no longer a probing attack, but containing a higher concentration of filthy essence, carrying the power of corrupted souls and filthy things, rushing straight towards Yu Changsheng.

From its massive body, countless dark purple chains and slippery tentacles formed from the laws of filth burst forth, like venomous sea serpents. They not only coiled around Yu Changsheng's limbs and body, but also attempted to penetrate space, restricting his movements from all sorts of tricky angles and polluting the law domain around him.

The invisible, viscous spiritual impact surged wave after wave, indiscriminately assaulting the souls of all living beings on the field.

Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing were the first to be affected. Even though they tried their best to protect their minds, they felt dizzy and had hallucinations. Their ears were filled with countless crazy babblings, and their source energy became sluggish.

Yu Changsheng also had to be distracted to resist this continuous mental pollution.

Where the source beasts trod, the filth seeped into the earth, and the dormant skeletons and broken weapons were "resurrected" under the power of the filth, transforming into more distorted and fearless filthy warriors. They surged in from all directions like a tide, their target Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing behind them, attempting to disturb Yu Changsheng's mind.

"You beast!" Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed with cold light. The Guixu Sword in his hand erupted with an unprecedented brilliance.

"Chaos Returns to Nothingness - Devouring Realm!" Facing the breath of the Source Hunter and some of the chain attacks, Yu Changsheng swung his sword to create a huge chaotic vortex and took the initiative to meet it.

The vortex spun wildly, forcibly pulling, devouring, and disintegrating the pillars of light and chains containing primordial filth. The annihilation properties of the Guixu Sword combined with the refining power of the Chaos Furnace, striving to purify this filthy primordial energy. Dark purple and primordial gray collided and annihilated violently within the vortex, emitting a chilling hiss.

Chaos Sword Dao!

Yu Changsheng moved like lightning, weaving through the countless chains and tentacles. The Guixu Sword traced mysterious and unpredictable trajectories, each strike containing the true essence of the nascent chaotic sword path—possessing both the inclusiveness and creation of chaos, and the destruction and end of Guixu!

Where the sword light touched, the filth receded! *Swoosh!*

A condensed, dark yellow sword light precisely severed several chains of law; the broken chains hissed as if corroded by strong acid.

He even tried to thrust his sword light towards the pulsating, filthy core of the Source Hunt, or the "umbilical cord" connecting it to the celestial vortex.

The power of the six chaotic beasts!

The Chaos Mark shone brightly, and the phantoms of six chaotic beasts solidified behind it, unleashing earth-shattering roars.

The Chaos Tortoise let out a deep, heavy roar, its four limbs stomping on the ground. A primordial, earth-yellow light curtain rose up, combining with Yu Changsheng's chaotic source power to form a solid defensive barrier. This greatly offset the physical impact of the Source Hunt and the intensity of the mental pollution wave, providing Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing with a chance to catch their breath.

The Chaos Golden Roc transformed into a dark golden streak of light that tore through space. Its speed was extreme, and its incomparably sharp claws and wings constantly cut and harassed Yuan Shou's relatively vulnerable joints, pupils, and other parts, attracting its attention and creating openings for Yu Changsheng.

The other four beasts each used their unique abilities to try their best to share the pressure and maintain the balance of the battlefield.

The battle scenes were devastating.

The light from the collision of laws tore through the dark purple sky, and space cracked like a shattered mirror, only to be painstakingly mended by the ancient laws remaining in the battlefield of the burial of gods.

The earth was unrecognizable, with enormous craters, crisscrossing cracks, and purplish-black stains left by filth—a truly shocking sight. Yu Changsheng's swordplay was like a dragon's, each strike of the Guixu Sword carrying the power to cleave the heavens and earth, the chaotic source energy surging like the sea.

Yuan Shou, with the advantage of being backed by the source of filth, possesses almost inexhaustible energy. The laws governing the source of filth are also bizarre and difficult to deal with, constantly regenerating severed limbs and releasing new pollution.

The battle has reached a suffocating stalemate!

A cunning savage glint flashed in Yuan Shou's single eye.

It discovered that when Yu Changsheng was protecting the two "ants" behind him, there would be extremely tiny, fleeting gaps in his defenses!

Just as Yu Changsheng cleaved through several filthy chains with a single sword strike and was about to strike a gap in Yuan Shou's chest and abdomen, Yuan Shou suddenly let out a sharp screech!

Several highly poisonous bone spurs, originally aimed at Yu Changsheng and formed from the essence of filth, drew eerie arcs in the air, abandoning him and tearing through space with lightning speed, directly piercing Wang Cheng and Chen Xueqing, who were fighting together against the tide of filthy warriors!

The dark purple viscous fluid flowing from the thorns exuded a terrifying aura capable of instantly corrupting even a Nascent Soul cultivator!
At the same time, a thick, foul tentacle covered with suckers silently emerged from the ground like a venomous python, coiling towards the tortoise foot of the Chaos Tortoise, which was exerting all its primordial suppression power!

Although the Xuan Turtle has a strong defense, it would be unimaginable if it were to be entangled by the filth that contains the essence of the source!
"Senior brother, watch out behind you!"

Chen Xueqing's Life Gem shone brightly, and thorny vines grew wildly in an attempt to block the bone spurs, but the difference in power was too great!
"Damn it!" Wang Cheng roared, his domineering blood burning, as he swept his greatsword horizontally, barely managing to deflect one bone spike; the other two were already inches away! (End of Chapter)
