Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

A more intense and sharper hissing sound erupted from the mountainside!
Countless enormous bats surged out once again, blotting out the sky!
This time, they were more numerous and their aura was even more ferocious!

Ying Xuan's eyes were icy cold as he raised his hand and pointed at the swarm of bats that blotted out the sky!
A crimson aura, thicker and purer than before, almost purplish-black in color, poured down from the core of the array plate, instantly engulfing the entire swarm of bats!
"Puff puff!"

Countless tiny bats instantly exploded and died, turning into a bloody mist!
But many more bats, under the frenzied infusion of bloodthirsty energy, let out painful howls, their bodies swelling and twisting violently!
Their fur turned into armor soaked in blood, their fangs and claws gleamed with a metallic glint, and their scarlet eyes were filled with nothing but a ferocious bloodlust!
This time, the results far exceeded those before!

Under the impact of the purer and more powerful bloodthirsty energy, some of the bats grew several times larger, and their aura surged!
They broke through their original life limits and reached a terrifying level comparable to Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
At the same time, the bloodthirsty energy that was infused was further purified and refined during the bat swarm's violent struggle and transformation. Its purity even surpassed the effect of the purification achieved by the monks of Tianyin Temple through chanting sutras!
"Roar--!"

Thousands of enormous, ferocious mutated bats circled and roared in the air, their malevolent aura turning the entire Kongsang Mountain into a hellish landscape!

Biyao's face turned deathly pale, and her stomach churned at the sight.

She forced back her discomfort, her voice trembling.

"You...you're insane! What are you trying to do?!"

Ying Xuan ignored her.

His divine sense swept across the depths of Kongsang Mountain, where the Abyss of the Dead was located!
The resentment and vengeance of countless spirits accumulated from ancient battlefields, natural disasters, and man-made calamities have, over thousands of years, formed a vast sea of ​​spirits!

At this moment, stimulated by the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, these dormant Yin spirits transformed into countless gray-black, twisted, wailing phantoms, surging wildly from the ground and from the cracks in the rocks, converging into a Yin spirit storm that blotted out the sky!

A chilling wind howled, and ghosts wailed! The resentment of tens of millions of wandering souls intertwined, forming a terrifying force capable of eroding even the divine soul!
Ying Xuan frowned slightly. These Yin spirits contained enormous soul energy; if they could be refined, they might greatly benefit the great formation.

However, he was unsure whether forcibly refining such a massive amount of Yin souls in this world would trigger the rejection of the will of heaven and earth in this world, leaving some kind of imperceptible "mark" on him.

More importantly, the Qin world is still at a low level, and the definition of whether Yin Spirits are considered "life" is unclear. If one were to refine them rashly, there might be unknown hidden dangers.

"That's all."

With a thought, Ying Xuan raised his hand and grabbed at the void of the Yin Soul Storm!
The ancient and weathered stone gate reappears!
An invisible suction force erupted!

Those tens of millions of wailing souls were sucked into the stone gate without any resistance, as if they were being drawn into a huge vortex, and disappeared!
The sky above Mount Kongsang instantly cleared, leaving only a faint, chilly aura.

"Where did you put those ghosts?!"

Biyao was horrified; Ying Xuan's methods were completely beyond her comprehension.

Ying Xuan still did not answer.

His gaze fell upon the dark pool deep within the Abyss of the Dead.

An ancient, fierce, and dormant aura is being awakened by the drastic changes in the outside world!

Wow——!
The calm water surface suddenly exploded!

A massive, suffocating black figure burst forth from the water!

It was a giant snake! Its entire body was covered with shiny black scales, each as large as a millstone!

The snake's head was ferocious, like a small mountain, and its scarlet vertical pupils were like two blood moons, radiating a cold, bloodthirsty light!
Its length...exceeded one thousand meters! It was none other than the ancient ferocious beast—the Blackwater Serpent!
The Blackwater Serpent roared to the sky, unleashing a deafening hiss that swept across the surrounding area with terrifying pressure!

It was clearly enraged by the malevolent aura and bloodshed from the outside world!
"What a vile beast!"

Ying Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light! This was his biggest objective for this trip!
Without hesitation, he formed a hand seal and pointed at the Black Water Serpent!
"Condense the evil! Infuse the body!"

boom!
The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation is operating at full power! This time, it's no longer just a single crimson aura of evil!
A dark red torrent, even more terrifying and complex, fused with the battlefield aura of the Qin Dynasty, the ferocious beast aura of the Fengyun World, and the original ferocious aura of the Zhuxian Sword and the Bloodthirsty Bead, crashed fiercely against the massive body of the Black Water Serpent with a violent will to destroy everything!
"Roar--!!!"

The Blackwater Serpent let out a deafening roar of pain!
Its thousand-meter-long body twisted and rolled wildly, its hard scales shattering and peeling off under the impact of the violent baleful energy, revealing the bloody flesh beneath!
His scarlet vertical pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot veins, brimming with pain and madness!

This ancient ferocious beast has an incredibly tenacious vitality!
While enduring immense pain, its body swelled up under the infusion of malevolent energy!

One thousand meters... one thousand five hundred meters... two thousand meters! Its size nearly doubled!
The originally dark scales quickly turned dark red under the corrosive influence of the malevolent energy!
An even more ferocious, chaotic, and destructive aura erupted from it!

It had completely lost its mind! Only the most primal killing instinct remained in its scarlet eyes!
It crashed wildly against the surrounding mountain walls, its huge serpentine tail sweeping across, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to split!

It tried to break free from the relentless torrent of malevolent energy, but like a giant beast trapped in a swamp, its efforts were in vain!
As Biyao watched the giant blood python struggling wildly in the torrent of blood and its size swell, looking like it came from hell, she felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!

She was ice cold all over, and her teeth were chattering.

This is no longer a simple case of murder and robbery!

This is... this is the forging of some unimaginable, extremely evil and terrifying magical artifact! Using living beings and ancient ferocious beasts as materials!
"You...you devil!"

Biyao's voice was hoarse, filled with endless fear.

"What exactly do you want?! You captured me, is it... is it also going to turn me into some kind of monster?!"

Ying Xuan finally turned his head and glanced at her. His gaze was calm and unwavering, as if he were looking at something insignificant.

He spoke softly, his voice clearly reaching Biyao's ears:

"You? You're too young."

Ying Xuan stood in the center of the Star River Array Plate, his gaze calmly sweeping over the Black Water Serpents and the countless Blood Bats struggling wildly in the torrent of blood and evil below.

Biyao stood beside him, her face pale and her body trembling slightly. Ying Xuan's words, "You are too young," and the scene before her eyes filled her with indescribable fear and confusion.

She suppressed the pounding in her heart, mustered her courage, and asked tentatively, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.

"Who...who exactly are you? Such supernatural powers...could you...become an immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Xuan did not turn around, his gaze remaining fixed on the churning crimson beast below, his tone calm and indifferent.

"Immortals? Those who haven't taken that step are all mortal cultivators, just some who have gone further or less."

He paused, as if he had thought of something, then raised his hand and made a grasping motion. The air beside him rippled slightly, and a smooth, mirror-like jade wall, imprinted with countless profound characters, appeared out of thin air and slowly floated towards Biyao. "This is for you."

Biyao caught it instinctively, and felt its smooth, warm texture.

She looked down and saw that the jade wall was covered with dense, ancient, and obscure characters, beginning with "The creation of heaven and earth refers to the time of chaos..."

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she gasped in shock.

"The first volume of the Heavenly Book?! Where...where did you get this?!"

"Making a rubbing at random inside the Blood-Dripping Cave."

Ying Xuan spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"The cultivation methods in this world are mixed and not refined, broad but not pure. They seem to originate from the same source, but in fact they have long deviated from the fundamentals and have limited prospects. Since you are fortunate enough to see them, just take a look and that's enough. There is no need to cultivate them deeply and waste your time."

Biyao hugged the jade wall tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.

She was exceptionally intelligent and immediately gleaned the key information from Ying Xuan's words.

"This world? You...you're not from this world?!"

"good."

Ying Xuan readily admitted it.

"I come from another world. What is happening here is but a small part of my journey."

Biyao was deeply shocked. From another world? This was completely beyond her comprehension!

She suddenly remembered her missing Aunt You and asked urgently.

"Aunt You! What did you do to her? Where did you send her?"

She is alright.

Ying Xuan said calmly.

"I've simply gone ahead to the place you're about to visit. It's a more suitable place for cultivation than this world. You can pack your things and prepare to leave with me."

Upon hearing this, Biyao stood there stunned, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Leave? Go to a completely unfamiliar world?

Looking at Ying Xuan's unfathomable back, and then at the two giant snakes below that were howling in pain amidst the blood demons, yet their size was still slowly increasing, as well as the blood bats that were constantly transforming amidst the thunder and demonic energy, their auras growing increasingly ferocious, a chill once again surged into her heart.

At that moment, Ying Xuan's attention returned entirely to the Blackwater Serpent and the swarm of Blood Bats.

He keenly sensed that although both were suffering terribly and confused under his power, their tenacious vitality, which originated from ancient ferocious beasts, was being passively worn down and adapted to the vast bloodthirsty energy!
This process of "wearing off" and "adapting" is itself an excellent purification process!

"It is somewhat useful."

Ying Xuan's eyes flashed coldly.

He raised his hand, palm up, fingers slightly spread!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It's no longer just a simple infusion of malevolent energy!
Thick bolts of purple lightning, as thick as palace pillars and dazzlingly bright, slashed down fiercely from the Star River Array Plate!
This time, the target is the Blackwater Serpent and the most powerful mutated blood bats!
Heavenly thunder is extremely strong and yang, containing destructive power, and is the nemesis of yin and evil energy!
The lightning controlled by Ying Xuan possessed a subtle and exquisite power, not intended for complete destruction, but rather... for tempering!
"Roar--!"

"squeak--!"

The lightning struck the giant snake and the blood bat with deafening roars and shrill screams!

Scales were charred and shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!
The bloodthirsty energy that had invaded their bodies was forced out and refined by the bombardment of the supreme yang thunder, with its violent, resentful, and bloodthirsty impurities being forcibly extracted!
What remains is a purer and more condensed dark red primordial evil energy!
Some of this purified malevolent energy merged into the stars of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, making the starlight even more dazzling, while the rest flowed back into the bodies of the Black Water Serpent and the Blood Bat! Nourished by the pure malevolent energy, their shattered bodies were repaired and strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In particular, the Black Water Serpent's instincts were aroused. A struggle flashed in its scarlet vertical pupils. Its huge body no longer rolled around meaninglessly, but suddenly raised its head and took the initiative to meet the falling lightning. Its mouth opened and spewed out a large amount of foul-smelling black mist (its innate poisonous aura), trying to resist and dissipate the power of the lightning!
Although its effects are limited, its proactive "confrontation" behavior is far more efficient at purifying evil energy than the passive absorption and purification speed of stars!

Biyao watched with her heart pounding.

She watched as the giant snake and bat were repeatedly tormented, broken, and reborn amidst thunder and malevolent energy, as if they were being thrown into a giant furnace for inhumane tempering.

Her fear of Ying Xuan reached its peak; she pursed her lips tightly and dared not utter another word.

Hundreds of lightning bolts struck down in succession! The entire Star River Array was filled with a strange smell of burnt and blood.

The Blackwater Serpent and the strongest group of Blood Bats were covered in wounds, their auras extremely weak, and they lay limp in the void, as if they would die completely at any moment.

On the verge of death, their tenacious life force, stimulated to its limit, underwent a strange fusion with the pure baleful energy that had been repeatedly infused and purified to a certain degree!

The madness and chaos in their eyes slowly faded, replaced by a weariness, pain, yet also a newfound clarity!
They...remarkably regained their senses temporarily amidst endless torment!
But Ying Xuan did not stop.

With another thought, the way the great formation operated changed again!

This time, it was no longer blood demons or thunder, but a turbid, complex incense offering power containing the chaotic thoughts, prayers, desires, and fears of billions of living beings, like a muddy river, surging towards the Blackwater Serpent and Blood Bat that had just regained their clarity!
This incense and vow power originates from the Qin Dynasty. Although it has undergone preliminary refinement, the impure thoughts of all living beings contained within it are no different from the most potent poison for beings whose intelligence is just beginning to awaken!
"Ugh—!"

The Blackwater Serpent, which had just regained its senses, was overwhelmed by the chaotic thoughts of incense and fire, and immediately let out a painful and chaotic roar, its huge body convulsing violently once again!

The blood bats plummeted from the sky, clutching their heads and howling in agony!

Ying Xuan watched all of this indifferently. The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation was not a place for living beings to reside for long; these forcibly enhanced "materials" could not be stored in the formation for an extended period.

He must maximize their value within a limited timeframe.

The incense and distracting thoughts further cleanse and test their fragile, newly recovered minds. If they can withstand it, they may become even better "materials." (End of Chapter)
