Chapter 428 A Bloodthirsty Fiend Who Knows When to Sight? An Encounter with Xu Dewen (8k, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Fifteen minutes later.

The last trace of the original essence belonging to that fourth-tier ghost king was also devoured by the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

Then, still not satisfied, he rushed toward the other three paths.

Xuan Yin Corpse King and Mo Yue, having received Xu Chuan's instructions, did not kill him.

Not long after that.

The three ghost king clones were also devoured by the Blood Demon King.

His body was filled with rising Yin energy, giving him the feeling that he was about to break through to the next level.

The battlefield finally fell silent.

Xu Chuan, Xuan Yin Corpse King, and Mo Yue all stared at the Blood Demon King in the sky.

His body was enveloped in a swirling, turbulent aura of blood and ghostly energy, seemingly undergoing a fundamental transformation.

"You two watch."

Xu Chuan gave the order and landed on the ground.

Xu Deling and Xu Mingxuan put away their magical artifacts, and everyone stepped forward, smiling and congratulating them: "Congratulations, Father (Grandfather), on successfully slaying the fourth-tier Ghost King!"

"Congratulations, Master, on slaying the Ghost King."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying, "The Blood Fiend Ghost King is about to break through. If any 'demons' attack during this time, you should try to hold them off."

"Father, please rest well. Leave the rest to us."

Xu Mingyuan understood that, compared to the "Chi", the most important thing was to control the Blood Demon King after its breakthrough.

Afterwards, Xu Chuan found a place and began to meditate in seclusion.

The "Sword of Divine Sense" is powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy.

In addition, Xu Chuan has been fully activating the Azure Dragon Sword Formation, and now his mana is less than 50% and his spiritual sense is also mostly depleted.

To prevent the Blood Demon King's breakthrough from causing chaos, he needs to recover to his peak condition as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye.

Two pills appeared.

One Jade Void Pill and one Spirit Nourishing Pill are both of superior quality.

Xu Chuan swallowed it, sat cross-legged on the ground and silently refined it to restore his magical power and divine consciousness.

Four days later.

Xu Chuan has almost recovered to his peak condition.

At this moment, a cloud of dark mist, tens of feet high, appeared in the sky.

It was formed by the continuous compression of massive amounts of yin energy, looking as viscous as paste.

"It seems like it really is time to advance to the next level."

If he hadn't been killed and had devoured the Ghost King's soul essence, Xu Chuan planned to use the "Nine-Leaf Soul-Giving Lotus" seeds to help him break through.

However, it is more helpful for breakthroughs in minor realms.

I wonder what the effect will be after breaking through to the fourth level.

Now we can save it and use it as the main ingredient for the Nine Soul Pill.

This elixir is effective for humans, demons, corpses, and ghosts. For those in the Nascent Soul stage, it is also a sacred item for enhancing the soul and strengthening the divine consciousness.

Three more days passed.

That is, the seventh day after the Blood Demon King devoured the divine soul essence of the fourth-tier demon king.

The dense ghostly mist, which had been floating in mid-air and quietly wriggling like a giant black cocoon, began to contract rapidly inward without warning.

immediately--

"Jie—"

A piercing ghostly howl, so sharp it seemed to pierce eardrums, suddenly erupted!
The howling sound contained an overwhelming and terrifying impact, sweeping across the surroundings like an invisible storm in an instant.

The impact was mixed with pure Yin energy, violent blood energy, and a nascent, higher-level pressure of will!

"Breakthrough."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly.

Apart from him, Mo Yue, and the Xuan Yin Corpse King, the rest of Xu Mingyuan, Xu Deling, and the others all turned pale.

Instinctively, I covered my head, feeling as if my mind was being pierced by countless fine needles, with sharp pains and intense dizziness.

It was just that the Blood Demon King's breakthrough was an unconscious release of divine soul attacks.

Xu Mingyuan and the others could only endure it.

at the same time.

The world changed color!

Centered on that shrinking mass of ghostly mist, within a radius of two to three hundred miles.

As if summoned by the king, wisps of yin energy transformed into streams of gray or black air.

Like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, they converged wildly, forming a huge, slowly rotating vortex of yin energy above the ghostly mist!

The sky dimmed and the temperature dropped sharply.

The wind was chilling and cold, making it feel like the end of the world was coming.

In addition, such a powerful surge of Yin energy has a fatal attraction for demonic creatures like "Chi".

Even if there aren't many of these places.

It still attracted all the "chi" (demons) from thousands of miles around.

On the distant horizon.

A distorted, shadowy figure began to emerge.

The roars grew louder as they approached, revealing that there were over a hundred of them swarming towards this place!

Fifteen minutes later.

The dense, concentrated ghostly mist in the air suddenly exploded!

The yin energy dispersed, revealing one tall and imposing figure.

It was a man about two meters tall, with a solid build, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

He wore a black robe that seemed both real and unreal, and his face appeared to be that of a middle-aged man with cold, stern features and an unusually pale complexion, as if he had never seen the sun.

What is most striking is her long hair, which looks as if it has been soaked in blood, moving and swaying gently without any wind.

Only those eyes, crimson like the purest blood diamonds, were cold and devoid of emotion.

The man was surrounded by a dense, almost tangible aura of yin energy, which caused the scenery around him to distort slightly.

The aura of a fourth-tier ghost king was released without reservation.

Although not as old as the previous one, he was full of youthful vigor and enterprising spirit.

Xu Chuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

With a swift movement, it flew to a stop several feet away from him.

On the left and right sides, the humanoid Mo Yue and the Xuan Yin Corpse King also appeared simultaneously, subtly forming a guarding and supervisory posture.

The Blood Demon King's crimson eyes darted around, first landing on Xu Chuan.

The restrictive connection deep within his soul's origin clearly told him.

The person before him is his creator and absolute controller, his master.

Even now that he has broken through to the fourth rank, he still feels that the strength of that restriction is not something he can get rid of in his current state.

Although they are not without the ability to resist, the opponent can severely damage their soul with just a single thought, making them wish they were dead.

Then, the Blood Demon King's gaze swept over Mo Yue and the Xuan Yin Corpse King, whose auras were in no way weaker than his own.

A very subtle ripple flashed across his scarlet eyes, as if he were weighing the situation or perhaps feeling apprehensive.

With Xu Chuan suppressing him, Mo Yue and the Xuan Yin Corpse King were fully capable of killing him.

After all, they managed to kill even the stronger old ghost together.

He stood in mid-air, his yin energy slightly subsided.

He bowed slightly to Xu Chuan and said in a low voice, "Greetings, Master. Thank you for the opportunity you have given me and helped me break through to the fourth rank."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes.

"I thought you'd throw a tantrum like Xuan Yin!"

"Don't dare."

Xuan Yin curled his lip, muttering to himself, "Slippery! Hypocritical!"

Xu Chuan sized up the Blood Demon King.

He had assumed that the Blood Demon King, having just advanced to the fourth rank, would be so powerful that even with restrictions in place, he would inevitably be as arrogant and provocative as the Profound Yin Corpse King had been.

But to my surprise, the other party was so compliant.

Of course, Xu Chuan also knew that the other party was only outwardly convinced but inwardly not.

He certainly knew that he had the ability to kill a Ghost King stronger than himself, and he also had the ability to kill him.

However, since the other party is willing to comply, it will save a lot of trouble.

"From this day forward, you shall be called Blood Fiend. Whether you are genuinely acknowledging this now or merely putting on a show for the sake of expediency, I must remind you."

If someone betrays me, I will show no mercy.

But as long as you remain loyal and dedicated, I can assure you that your future will extend far beyond the initial stage of the fourth tier.

Blood Demon King raised his head, his scarlet eyes meeting Xu Chuan's for a moment before he lowered them again: "Blood Demon dares not."

The Blood Demon will forever remember the master's kindness in giving him a second chance.

Having devoured that old ghost, they learned from the fragments of his remaining memories that there was still a hidden lair in the misty area.

It seems to contain many items he collected during his lifetime, which might be useful to their owner.

"Oh?" Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow. "That's an unexpected bonus. Take me to see it when you have the chance."

"Yes, Master," Blood Fiend replied, his attitude still respectful.

At this moment, a large number of "chi" attracted by the yin energy in the distance were approaching, their roars could be clearly heard, and the ground was rumbling.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's go!" Xu Chuan made a quick decision without further delay.

He activated the "Hundred Ghosts Banner" to capture the Blood Demon King within it.

Then, he sent Mo Yue and the Xuan Yin Corpse King back into the Spirit Beast Bag and the Yin Corpse Bag.

Afterwards, together with Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingxian, they set off in a streak of light and flew into the distance.

They perfectly avoided the battle with the "Chi".

Half a month later.

Xu Chuan and Xu Mingyuan split up and, with the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King, officially marched into the depths of the ancient battlefield.

Meanwhile, Xu Mingyuan and his group stayed on the periphery, looking for opportunities.

This arrangement was mainly based on information obtained from the Blood Demon King that there seemed to be quite a few fourth-tier powerhouses deep within the battlefield.

If Xu Chuan reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he can take them inside to explore.

Now, he himself is also protected by the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King, and plays a supporting role in battle.

The others going in would only be a hindrance.

Of course, there were also Golden Core cultivators who were lucky enough to survive.

But Xu Chuan didn't want them to gamble.

The Xu family is about to enter a period of great development, and a steady and pragmatic approach is the best choice.

However, according to the Blood Demon King, there are very few fourth-tier monsters appearing in the deep edge of the battlefield, within a hundred or two hundred miles.

If they really want to go inside, they can only move around within this area, and they must be with Xu Mingxuan.

In addition, Xu Chuan also left Mo Yue as their trump card.

After all, there are fourth-tier beings on the outer battlefields.

Like the old ghost before, like the black water and the Nascent Soul cultivators from Tiannan who came in.

Those who fail to obtain what they desire deep within the battlefield may inevitably resort to plundering Golden Core cultivators on the outskirts.

Xu Chuan ventured deep into the battlefield and, led by the Blood Demon King, headed straight for the Old Ghost's hidden cave.

a few days later.

They arrived here.

“Master, there seems to be a fourth-order earthly evil yin vein underground here.”

Blood Demon King looked at Xu Chuan.

Yin meridians are extremely rare outside, and are only useful to some ghost cultivators, corpse cultivators, and those who practice extremely yin demonic arts.

Those who orthodoxly cultivate the Five Elements and the Paths of Wind, Ice, and Thunder are almost useless.

However, Xu Chuan has the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

If they want to cultivate normally, they need such earthly evil yin veins.

Without this, cultivation will be extremely slow, unless one improves oneself through rampant killing and devouring.

"When you leave, take it with you Xuan Yin as your place of cultivation in the future."

"Thank you, Master."

Then, Xu Chuan released the Xuan Yin Corpse King, who led the way.

There are many second- or third-tier ghosts here, probably left by the old ghost to guard the place.

Xu Chuan did not kill them, but instead collected them all into the "Hundred Ghosts Banner" as a supplement to his manpower.

All the previous ghosts have been devoured by the Blood Demon King.

Unfortunately, the quality of their souls was ultimately too poor, and they failed to truly help the Blood Demon King advance; they only slightly enhanced his foundation.

With the Blood Demon King in charge, this matter was easily accomplished.

In the blink of an eye.

The "Hundred Ghost Banner" contains ten Tier 3 ghosts, one of which has reached the late Tier 3 stage, and there are over a hundred Tier 2 ghosts.

The ancient battlefield was truly a treasure trove.

Aside from those "demons" on the periphery!
Even if they lose some second- or third-tier crystal cores and become like zombies, Xu Chuan wouldn't call them "trash"!
The old ghost's cave is protected by a restriction.

It would be strange if someone who has lived for thousands of years didn't even know some basic restrictions.

Unfortunately, there are only three tiers.

Xu Chuan glanced at it and said calmly, "Xuan Yin, break it."

The Xuan Yin Corpse King obeyed the command and shattered the defensive barrier that could have blocked a Golden Core cultivator with a single punch.

They entered the cave.

There were more than a dozen magical treasures inside, mostly of low and medium grade, but surprisingly there were two high grade ones as well.

One of them was a blue shield, and the other was a flying sword.

However, both items were somewhat damaged, and their power was significantly reduced.

"De Ling's skill in repairing high-grade magic weapons should not be a problem, and she may even improve her skill in weapon crafting during the repair process."

Repairing is also a process of observing the structure of a superior magic weapon.

Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve and put away the magical treasures that the old ghosts had in mind.

In addition, there are more than ten brocade boxes.

Each one contains rare Yin-type materials, such as a section of Soul-Nourishing Wood and Yin-Nether Jade.

It's estimated that he collected them for his own advancement.

"The Three Lives and the Netherworld Scripture?"

Xu Chuan glanced at it, his pupils shrinking slightly, and thought to himself, "It's actually a Ghost Path cultivation technique, which can be cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

No, this should be a fragment, or rather, the first half.

That old ghost must have used the secret technique recorded in the cultivation manual that day.

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and did not immediately bestow the jade slip upon the Blood Demon King. Instead, he said, "Blood Demon, this jade slip contains the cultivation technique that old ghost practiced. It is extremely profound."

If you perform meritorious service in the future, I, Xu, will certainly reward you.

"Thank you, Master. Blood Fiend will certainly do his best to serve you."

Blood Fiend immediately clasped his hands and bowed.

Xu Chuan smiled.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King, standing to the side, felt a pang of envy.

Whether it's ghost cultivation or corpse cultivation, it can be described as an unorthodox path within an unorthodox path.

Many sects in the demonic path that control ghosts or refine corpses have disciples who are mostly mainstream cultivators.

After all, living people are different. Unless they have a special constitution, the conditions for becoming a corpse cultivator or a ghost cultivator are very demanding.

This is why there are so few martial arts techniques in both schools.

"We've plundered enough. You two can now extract the Yin energy from this place."

"Yes, Master."

The Mysterious Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King clasped their fists at the same time.

Xu Chuan watched quietly from the air.

The two fourth-tier powerhouses began to make their move.

"rise!"

As the two exerted their strength simultaneously, a powerful surge of corpse energy and yin energy poured into the ground.

The entire cave and even the mountain range began to tremble violently!
"Boom!"

It was as if the earth had turned upside down, and the rocks were cracking.

The earth burst open with deep, bottomless cracks, and intense, malevolent energy surged out uncontrollably, darkening the sky.

The creatures living in this mountain range fled in droves.

The auras of the fourth-tier Corpse King and Ghost King rippled far and wide, their fluctuations detectable even thousands of miles away.

Half an hour later.

A malevolent and yin energy-filled earth vein was forcibly pulled out of the ground!

Xuan Yin and Xue Sha exchanged a glance.

At the same time, he used his strength to continuously shrink this earthly evil yin vein to the size of a palm.

"Master." The Blood Demon King presented the sealed Earthly Fiend Yin Vein.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xu Chuan released a jade box covered in sealing runes.

The box opened, emitting beams of clear light that absorbed the Yin energy of the earth.

After storing it in his storage ring, Xu Chuan seemed to sense someone rapidly approaching and immediately said, "Let's go."

He transformed into a beam of light and departed first.

The Mysterious Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King followed closely behind.

The three figures quickly disappeared into the horizon.

All that remained behind was a devastated, chaotic, and gloomy mountain range.

It only takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Then an old man in black robes, holding a black banner, arrived and hovered above the mountain range.
"The Yin energy is so chaotic. Is there a Yin vein here?"

After a brief investigation, he sighed to himself, "Too late. It seems the commotion just now must have been caused by the other party taking over the Yin Vein of this place. A fourth-order Yin Vein, I wonder which fellow Daoist of my Blackwater Domain has such luck."

Corpse aura? Yin energy?
Could they be from the Corpse Yin Sect?

There were indeed two Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Corpse Yin Sect who entered this place.

I paused for a moment.

The old man in black robes left in another direction.

The ancient battlefield offered countless opportunities.

Many top sects in the Blackwater and Tiannan regions obtained their fourth-order spiritual veins from the ancient battlefield.

In the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan and his two companions spent two months wandering deep into the battlefield.

Compared to the outer area, the inside contains far more natural treasures.

Although most of them are guarded by third-tier monsters or demons, it's almost like picking them up when facing Xu Chuan and his group.

Those monsters had lost most of their reason and were no different from wild beasts.

However, their combat strength is extremely high.

At least the weakest of the monsters Xu Chuan encountered was comparable to a late-stage third-tier demon beast.

Moreover, even those who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation and achieved great supernatural powers must proceed with caution under their relentless efforts, regardless of the risks they may suffer.

After all, most of them don't consist of just one monster.

As for the demons, they are all humanoid, more like the demonized forms of cultivators.

They were extremely violent.

Besides monsters and demons, Xu Chuan also encountered "Charm" and "Corpse Demon".

"Corpse Demon" is similar to Corpse Refiner, with a strength reaching the fourth rank, but it is even stronger than the Corpse King of the same rank.

Five or six "demons" used illusions to try to confuse them.

Fortunately, both the Blood Demon King and Xu Chuan were skilled in the art of the soul; otherwise, if the Corpse King had been bewitched, he might have been used by them instead.

The Blood Demon King and the Mysterious Yin Corpse King worked together to fight the "Corpse Demon," barely managing to hold it off.

Xu Chuan then used his divine sense technique to injure many of the "demons" before killing them, and only then did he surround the "corpse demon".

The three of them had the upper hand.

The "Corpse Demon" fled in anger, and Xu Chuan and the others were unable to stop it.

The reason why the Corpse Demon and his group stayed here was because there was a mid-grade fourth-order earth-type spiritual vein in this area.

There are also a large number of spiritual flowers and herbs.

All the main ingredients for the "Foundation Building Pill" are available.

There are also the main ingredients of "Purifying Spirit Pill"—Heavenly Mustard Grass and Heavenly Fragrance Flower; the main ingredient of "Golden Elixir"—Seven-Leaf Purple Gold Flower; and many other spiritual herbs such as Purple Essence Fruit.

The only pity is that there aren't many that are mature at the fourth level or above.

Almost all of them were devoured by the "corpse demons" and "demons," leaving only the roots.

The rest are still growing.

Xu Chuan didn't keep any of it; he took it all and sent it to "Xu Family Grotto-Heaven" for Xu Huai to help plant.

In just these two months.

Xu Chuan obtained nearly one-third of the various spiritual herbs he had acquired from the Innate Secret Realm.

of course.

It won't be so easy for others to obtain it.

After all, even a Nascent Soul cultivator, if alone, would have to consider whether it's worth it to encounter some fourth-tier demons or monsters.

Xu Chuan and his group consisted of three people.

If the three of them can win together, then they should all rush in.

If not, then lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"Take away the spiritual vein."

Xu Chuan did not spare the spiritual veins of this place, and the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King immediately made their move.

Apart from this spiritual vein.

Xu Chuan also obtained three third-grade high-quality spiritual veins and one fourth-grade low-quality water-type spiritual vein.

"At this rate, we might be able to gather all five elements and fourth-order spiritual veins before we leave."

Xu Chuan thought to himself.

He was no longer his original appearance at this time.

Instead, it was a burly old man, dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood.

After taking the spiritual vein, Xu Chuan and his group wanted to leave immediately.

Suddenly, a black light appeared, revealing a burly man in a red robe, his entire body exuding a murderous aura.

The man stopped inside or outside Xu Chuan, sizing him up.

Xu Chuan concealed his aura; as long as he didn't make a move, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to see through his cultivation level.

The burly man in red robes frowned slightly, not recalling such a person among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Blackwater Domain.

Of course, it's also possible that they just didn't show up before.

Then, his gaze swept over the Corpse King and the Ghost King beside him. Their auras were exposed, and they made no attempt to conceal them.

"A fourth-tier Ghost King, a fourth-tier Corpse King?"

"May I ask how the three of you are addressed?" the burly man in red robes asked, clasping his hands in greeting.

“Xuan Yin, Blood Fiend,” Xu Chuan introduced them, then added, “My surname is Li.”

"Surname Li? I wonder if that's really his surname." The burly man in red robes didn't seem to care much and continued to ask, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li created these Corpse King and Ghost King?"

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Xu Chuan said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist asked for my name, why don't you state your own name?"

"My name is Han Tie."

The burly man in the red robe laughed heartily, as if he had just remembered it.

"What does Fellow Daoist Han want with me? You don't mean to kidnap me, do you?" Xu Chuan narrowed his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstands. There are countless opportunities in the ancient battlefield, so why would we need to plunder? I just happened to be passing by and sensed that there was quite a commotion here, so I came to take a look."

"Fellow Daoist Han, please speak frankly; there's no need to beat around the bush."

"Fellow Daoist, your strength is considerable. I have an opportunity here; are you interested?"

"What was the opportunity?"

“Lingbao.” The red-robed giant didn’t say much, only uttering two words.

Xu Chuan's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.

Although it was only two words, he could deduce that it must be related to ancient cultivators or ancient true demons.

It might be a cave, or it might be a dangerous place.

The thought of participating flashed through his mind, and then Xu Chuan said, "I'm not interested. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

The burly man in the red robe was taken aback.

Before he could react, Xu Chuan had already escaped in a streak of light.

"Interesting. Knowing it's a spiritual treasure opportunity, they still decisively refuse without even asking for detailed information. This is the first time I've seen such a cautious person."

I don't know if they're from my Blackwater region or from the southern part of the country.

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective and not wanting to clash with Xu Chuan, the burly man in red robes immediately left.

Xu Chuan used the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Derivation] to calculate the opportunity once again.

Only the one time when one is exempt from the backlash of heavenly secrets can one make an accurate calculation, and even then, one can only obtain the location.

But little by little, it adds up.

Over the course of a year or two, Xu Chuan will surely accumulate a massive amount of resources deep within the battlefield.

This is sufficient to support Xu Chuan's future development plans.

a few days later.

As Xu Chuan flew past a certain place, he sensed a familiar aura.

He was initially somewhat skeptical, but immediately activated the Bloodline Tracking Secret Technique.

"It really is of the Xu family bloodline! This is Devon?!"

Xu Chuan was extremely surprised.

"How did he end up on the ancient battlefield, and even venture deep into it?"

Xu Chuan began to carefully perceive the others.

The nine Golden Core cultivators were all at the peak of their cultivation, each radiating pure demonic energy and possessing immense power.

Among them are five individuals who have mastered perfect supernatural powers, and all of them wield top-grade magic treasures.

Even a Nascent Soul stage expert would likely have to back down if they faced them.

At this moment, they are fighting against five peak third-tier demonic creatures.

"Is he a demonic cultivator or..."

Less than fifteen minutes.

These people then killed all the demons.

Suddenly, someone looked in Xu Chuan's direction.

Someone nearby asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

"It felt like someone was spying on us, but we didn't find anything."

"Perhaps it was a Nascent Soul cultivator, or a fourth-order demon or ghost passing by."

"Perhaps. We should keep moving forward. It will probably be quite a journey to reach our destination, so we can't afford to delay."

They set off immediately.

The same goes for Xu Dewen.

But in Xu Chuan's view, his situation was more like being held hostage.

Xu Chuan frowned and lowered his head in deep thought.

Although he had a guess, he felt that asking Xu Dewen in person would be more accurate.

Therefore, Xu Chuan patted the Yin Corpse Bag and summoned the Xuan Yin Corpse King, "Go and attract or drive away some demons and monsters in the surrounding area, and cause them some trouble."

Then, just as they were about to finish, he revealed himself to test the strength of that group.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King nodded, his body enveloped in gray-green corpse energy, and headed away into the distance.

To avoid arousing their suspicion, Xu Chuan followed at a distance, keeping a distance using only the secret technique of bloodline tracking.

After all, if they really were possessed by an ancient demon, as Xu Chuan suspected.

Even if you maintain the distance while using your Nascent Soul divine sense to probe, you might still be detected.

"The feeling of being monitored is gone."

The middle-aged man in black robes, who had previously sensed something amiss, transmitted his voice to another young man in purple robes.

It's clear that the two of them are the core of this team.

“It seems to be a coincidence indeed,” the purple-robed youth replied. “However, do not let your guard down; this mission is of great importance.”

"Of course I know."

The middle-aged man in black robes said, "However, this time it can be considered a blessing from heaven for our clan, as we unexpectedly discovered someone with a true demonic physique in this imprisoned place."

This person is far more suitable than any other vessel chosen by the other True Demon Families.

It might be able to conceal the soul of the person who has possessed the body, preventing them from being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, and allowing them to grow normally like a cultivator.

If a true demon with a fully formed Nascent Soul could be born, he would surely be able to lead us to contend against the powerful figures of the Blackwater and Southern Heavenly Domains.

As long as we unify Heishui and Tiannan.

"It will surely allow my Holy Realm to re-emerge, starting with the Southern Heavenly Domain, and truly annex this realm."

a few days later.

More than ten late-stage Tier 3 demons and monsters were driven toward them by the Xuan Yin Corpse King.

"Where did all these beasts come from!" the middle-aged man in black robes cursed under his breath, then transmitted his voice to the young man in purple robes: "That kid is too weak, you protect him."

Then he shouted, "The rest of you, follow me and kill them!"

Less than half an incense stick's time.

The demons and monsters were almost all killed.

Right now.

An overwhelming and ferocious pressure descended suddenly, like a polar wind!

An astonishing aura of death engulfed them.

"careful!"

The middle-aged man in the black robe's pupils contracted sharply, and he issued a stern warning.

Before he could finish speaking...

A tall, imposing figure appeared in mid-air above their heads.

His body was surrounded by a surging, gray-black aura of death, and his eyes burned with ghostly flames.

It was none other than the Mysterious Yin Corpse King!

"A fourth-tier zombie king?!"

The middle-aged man in the black robe frowned slightly, his expression instantly becoming serious.

But there was not much fear in his eyes.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King's scarlet eyes swept over them. Without uttering a word, he took a step forward, his body crashing down like a cannonball!

The moment he landed, his fists, imbued with dense corpse energy and the immense power to shatter mountains and split rocks, slammed into the densest part of the crowd!
"Stop them!"

The two who possessed superior defensive magic treasures immediately activated their treasures to create a light barrier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Corpse King unleashed over a dozen punches in quick succession, all of which landed squarely on the defensive light barrier!

With a deafening roar, the shockwave exploded in a ring, causing the ground to crack and sink.

The terrifying corpse energy rapidly corroded the light barrier.

Only a dozen or so breaths.

The first light barrier formed by a high-grade magic weapon shattered instantly.

The attack then landed on the second magical artifact's light barrier.

The corpse aura is extremely corrosive to magical artifacts; it would be difficult for other early-stage Nascent Soul experts to achieve such results.

"attack!"

Seeing this, the others also activated their superior-grade magic weapons to attack the Xuan Yin Corpse King.

Faced with five or six top-grade magic treasures, the Xuan Yin Corpse King naturally dared not be careless. He condensed his corpse energy into armor and gauntlets and fiercely retaliated against those magic treasures.

In a short time.

The demonic cultivators had the upper hand.

However, over time, the corpse's aura began to erode the magical artifact.

The power of each magical artifact plummeted.

This immediately put them at a loss.

They no longer used magical weapons to bombard the enemy at close range, but instead used them in conjunction with supernatural powers and spells.

In an instant, all sorts of supernatural powers and magical lights flew around.

The surrounding area was filled with deafening roars, and countless plants and rocks were reduced to dust in the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Lu Chang, join us in casting the formation and repel them!"

"Then this kid."

“He is under our protection and cannot escape our grasp. Moreover, without our protection, given his strength, he would probably die without even knowing how he died.”

The young man in purple robes warned Xu Dewen and then joined the battle.

The nine people jointly cast a formation.

The demonic energy was chilling, gathering and coalescing into a battle demon over ten feet tall.

Its aura was much stronger than that of the Xuan Yin Corpse King, probably approaching the aura of the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King's expression was solemn.

He began to consider leaving.

"Hold on for a moment, and I will tell you when to retreat," Xu Chuan mentally commanded.

The Corpse King of Xuan Yin had no choice but to comply and grit his teeth to fight the war demon.

His soul and the corpse pearl were both placed under restrictions.

If they truly disobey, he believed Xu Chuan would show no mercy.

As for Xu Chuan, he finally seized the opportunity and summoned Xu Dewen.

Upon seeing this familiar fluctuation, Xu Dewen was both shocked and overjoyed. "Is Grandfather nearby? Or..."

He glanced at the battlefield several miles away.

Without hesitation, he separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and entered the "Xu Clan Grotto Heaven".

"Grandfather, save me!" Xu Dewen cried out as soon as he saw the cave.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan's lips twitched slightly.

"Don't panic, I'll be right behind you."

Xu Dewen's eyes widened. "That monster attack, that fourth-tier corpse king, were all caused by my grandfather?"

“Of course, otherwise how would I find an opportunity to contact you?” Xu Chuan said, “Enough of the small talk, let’s get down to business. Why did you enter the ancient battlefield?”

"It wasn't my wish. I originally planned to infiltrate the Blackwater Demon Cultivator team, but who knew that the ancient battlefield would open only a few days ago."

They suddenly found him and killed him as a witness to the Blackwater Demon Cultivator.

Then the grandson was taken hostage and taken to the ancient battlefield.

They are all very strong.

“Grandfather understands. Do you know where they’re going? And why they want to capture you?”

"What they did is unknown, but when they found themselves, they seemed to examine their bodies and then looked overjoyed."

Therefore, the grandson suspected it was related to his own constitution.

After a pause, Xu Dewen added, "By the way, they mentioned the word 'container'."

“Constitution, container,” Xu Chuan sighed softly, “Just as I guessed.”

"Grandfather, you know?!" Xu Dewen was immediately incredulous.

I've been with this group for so long, and I still don't know anything about them.

His grandfather guessed the general idea from just a few words.

This is utterly outclassing in intelligence!
