Transcending two realms to become an earth immortal

"Please... turn around, baby!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Jade Bone Old Monster's heart skipped a beat, and he was suddenly filled with boundless fear, feeling that a great calamity was about to befall him!

In a flash, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of a dark blue gourd with eerie blood-red patterns, which had somehow become hidden in the mist and hovered three feet behind him.

At that moment, the gourd turned slightly, its mouth pointing directly at him.

In an instant, the Jade Bone Old Monster felt the world lose its color and all things fall silent. The miasma and dim light before his eyes, the ghostly howls and sword cries in his ears... all the scenes faded away like ink dripping into water, leaving only a silent and colorless twilight stillness!

In the dim twilight, only a sword light quietly shone from the mouth of the gourd.

Its color was dull and grayish-blue, inconspicuous. However, wherever it passed, the miasma and yin energy permeating the turbid world merged into it, which in turn enhanced its power. In the end, it transformed into a fierce sword that was capable of severing the life force of living beings!

"No--!"

The Jade Bone Old Monster's soul flames flickered wildly, before his fierce divine thoughts could even be transmitted—

The next instant, its Yin spirit exploded, transforming into countless illusory skeletons of light and shadow that fluttered and flickered in the sky!

"Senior brother—!" Fang Chen roared, his voice echoing across the surrounding area.

In the pure and ancient world, under this sword, the wandering spirits of the night would surely be annihilated.

However, in this turbid world, all living beings have greatly increased their resistance to evil energy. This Jade Bone Old Monster is close to the Yang God True Man of the old world in terms of resistance to Yin evil energy. He has some of the foundation of ghost immortals, and it is difficult to completely kill him by ordinary means!

Although its spirit has dissipated, its spiritual essence has not been extinguished and can be reassembled in an instant. It must be dealt a fatal blow immediately!

Upon hearing the sound, Daoist Mingjun acted immediately, rushing into the illusory skeletons that filled the sky without hesitation.

The light of the Zhengyang Spirit Lamp in his hand blazed brightly, and the dim yellow halo spread out in layers like a tide. Wherever it passed, the tiny skeleton phantoms immediately burst into flames as if they were pieces of paper touched by a spark, emitting countless overlapping, extremely sharp and mournful howls!

"stop!"

Inside the arena, Youxuan and Lianxing, two evil old monsters, were filled with shock and anger, and roared in unison.

Jade Bone Old Monster must not die here, otherwise his out-of-control flying zombies will surely backfire on the entire scene, and the situation will inevitably get out of control!

The old monster, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, pointed fiercely at Daoist Mingjun from afar—[Beast Creation Technique: Corpse Transformation and Life Stealing]!

Daoist Mingjun froze, feeling as if an invisible evil force had forcibly siphoned away the vibrant life force within him. His flesh and blood instantly lost their vitality, and his skin turned a deathly gray, as if he were about to turn into a cold zombie.

However, the Zhengyang Spirit Lamp in his hand suddenly leaped up, its flames surging like the sun, forcefully resisting, burning, and forcing back the invisible evil power, protecting his last glimmer of life.

"die!"

Seeing this, Fang Chen's face turned fierce with killing intent. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the Jade Bone Monster.

"How dare you, junior!"

The mysterious old monster suddenly manifested behind Fang Chen, its ghostly claws menacing, aiming straight for his vital point on the back, intending to attack from the rear to force him to retreat and defend.

However, the moment he made his move, Fang Chen seemed to have anticipated it. Without turning his body, the dark blue sword gourd silently turned its mouth and aimed at him!

An indescribable, sharp, and deathly sword aura burst forth from the gourd's mouth!

Its speed and ferocity far surpassed the previous sword strike aimed at Jade Bone, directly targeting the core of the Yin Spirit of the Netherworld Old Monster!

The old monster Youxuan felt a sudden, alarming sound, and instantly understood:

The opponent's fierce roar just now was not meant to send Mingjun Daoist to finish off the enemy, but rather... to surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements!

By the time this was understood, it was too late. The deathly sword light, which had absorbed the fierce and turbid energy of the battlefield, was already upon them!

The old monster Youxuan's expression changed drastically. In his haste, he summoned his protective ghost seal and used the Yin Soul Substitute Death Technique. However, these methods were like ice and snow meeting the sun in front of this sword light that specifically countered the soul. They collapsed one after another and were instead devoured by the sword light, which amplified its power.

At the critical moment of life and death, he held nothing back and painfully threw out his natal magic weapon, the ghostly Soul-Capturing Banner, which he had refined for many years, with all his might, colliding fiercely with the deadly sword light!

boom--!

With a muffled bang, the Soul-Capturing Banner exploded, turning into swirling black smoke and tattered cloth, perishing together with the sword light!

The Yin spirit of the Old Monster Youxuan also trembled violently, and its radiance dimmed suddenly, clearly indicating that it had been severely injured!

While you are sick, I will kill you!

Fang Chen's murderous intent was fully revealed. He slightly turned his sword gourd, about to unleash another deathly sword light.

However, a sudden warning arose in his heart, and he turned around abruptly, only to see that the flying zombie, despite having half of its body cut off by Master Shangming, was actually slapping a palm fiercely towards him!

Boom—

The dense aura of corpses condensed into a gigantic gray-black claw that blotted out the sky and crashed down.

Before the giant claw even arrived, the immense pressure caused the ground of the training ground to sink an inch, and the bluestone to crumble.

Immediately, a violent shockwave exploded, whipping up a storm of sand and stones, scattering broken blades and pieces of wood in all directions—

boom! ! ! ! ! !

A deafening roar erupted, dust billowed, and the world fell silent!

...As the dust and mist dissipated slightly, Fang Chen's figure emerged amidst the faint haze, his face grim.

He had hidden the sword gourd precisely to deliver a decisive blow at a crucial moment and turn the tide of battle, but it was thwarted by the desperate attack of the flying zombie. Although he was not injured, he missed the opportunity to finish off the enemy.

Fang Chen coldly observed that within the smoke and dust, the Yin spirit of the Jade Bone Old Monster was slowly reforming, but it was already unstable and wavering. Its hands were frantically scratching at its head and neck, as if it were going mad, and it was howling in a hoarse voice: "Where is my head?! Where is my head?!"

Beside him, the Yin spirit of the Old Monster Youxuan also appeared, its radiance dim and its aura weak, clearly indicating that its magical artifact had been destroyed and it had suffered severe injuries. However, its dark eyes were fixed on Fang Chen, its resentment as venomous as a snake's tongue, sending chills down one's spine.

"Excellent! Excellent!" The Yin spirit of the Refining Form Old Monster also appeared, his face filled with shock and anger. "I never expected the Righteous Yang Path to possess such a deadly weapon!"

Fang Chen sneered, and the sword gourd turned slightly, its mouth subtly pointing at the three of them:

"It's not too late to know now. Of the three of you, who is willing to test their skills again?"

The eerie old monster of the underworld:

"Youngsters, stop bluffing. Such a deadly weapon will consume a massive amount of magical power to activate. With your mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, how many sword strikes can you possibly unleash? When you are exhausted, I will make you suffer the agony of having your souls extracted and your spirits refined, so that you can neither live nor die!"

"Heh, you old dog, what you say isn't wrong. This thing does indeed require a tremendous amount of effort." Fang Chen actually nodded in agreement, but his voice became even colder. "However, risking this life to take another person with you to the underworld shouldn't be difficult. I just wonder if the three of you, in this life-or-death situation, have the resolve to fight to the death?"

"Very well! What a desperate determination!" The Jade Bone Old Monster barely managed to calm himself, his face contorted, his soul fire raging. "So you Daoists have the will to die for your cause, but does my Xuanmen lack unyielding integrity? Today I will show you what the Xuanmen's spirit truly is!"

After saying that, the three of them suddenly surged in power!

Jade Bone Yin Spirit ignited with pale bone fire, surrounded by skeletal phantoms whistling; behind Youxuan, ghostly shadows swarmed, emitting mournful, soul-snatching sounds; Lianxing's blood surged, faintly revealing a ferocious beast form... All three Yin Spirits shone brightly, seemingly burning their very essence and fighting to the death!

Seeing this, Fang Chen instead gave a cold laugh, advancing instead of retreating, and letting out a long roar to the sky:

"Senior brother, at this critical moment of life and death, we must fight to the death! Whoever makes the first move today, we will both drag him down with us!"

"Very well! Let's see who falls first today!"

Three loud shouts rang out almost simultaneously:

"【Yuan Chen White Bone Great Capture】!"

"【The Art of Animal Creation: Corpse Transformation and Life Stealing】!"

"【Called down by name】!"

A chilling bone hand, an invisible deadly aura, a soul-snatching curse... three completely different yet insidious and terrifying killing intents, like an invisible net, suddenly descended from three directions!

The world suddenly darkened, a chilling wind howled, and the faint wails of ghosts sent shivers down one's spine!

"Junior brother, retreat quickly! I'll cover your retreat!" Daoist Mingjun's expression changed drastically as he urgently called out, stepping forward to block Fang Chen's path.

The light of the Zhengyang Spirit Lamp in his palm surged, as if he were about to ignite his own soul in a desperate gamble, but Fang Chen grabbed his shoulder and pressed him down.

immediately--

The anticipated cataclysmic attack never materialized.

The three terrifying killing intents that had been firmly locked onto the two of them, after reaching their peak, strangely froze.

The three old monsters' Yin spirits still emanated a powerful aura, their strange phenomena awe-inspiring, yet they stood frozen in place, none of them actually making a move.

The three looked at each other, their gazes meeting briefly in the air before parting ways.

The next instant, three voices, filled with surprise and uncertainty, rang out in unison:

"Fellow Daoist Youxuan/Refining Form/Jade Bone, why don't you make a move?!"
