Chapter 773 - 370: Sowing Discord, Extreme Undying Corpse Demon

If Lin Yingyun Mountain could be persuaded to surrender, it would be best not to waste their time, as they couldn't truly kill Lin Yingyun Mountain.

Mingyi had clearly mentioned during the sound transmission that he only had the means to temporarily seal Lin Yingyun Mountain.

In that case.

Cooperation is the best way out.

It also spares him from wasting the spiritual power of the precious talisman.

Lin Yingyun Mountain felt the connection to the other True Spirit Demon Trees weakening, and angrily said, "Do you think I will trust you? If you truly have sincerity, then return to me the eleven True Spirit Demon Trees you have taken."

Upon these words.

Both were momentarily stunned.

Exchanging a glance, confused, Lin Yingyun Mountain mocked, "Stop pretending... How could I trust you! Since you like covering for others... fine... I will satisfy you, and let's see who can endure to the end!"

Saying this, Lin Yingyun Mountain did not want to say another word, and the Divine Soul suddenly began to burn, while the power in the Demon Eye also started to surge abruptly.

The burning of the Divine Soul brought excruciating pain from the soul, but Lin Yingyun Mountain was already extremely furious; as long as he could suppress and kill the two who broke his opportunity here, even at the cost of heart-wrenching pain, it would be worth it.

With the burning of the Divine Soul, the number of Demon Eyes increased rapidly, and the powerful force of soul tearing followed, even Mingyi, a Soul Cultivator with an exceptionally strong Divine Soul, was hard-pressed to withstand it.

Nangong Huan was even more instantly suppressed, only able to resist with the full power of the Defense Talisman.

Seeing Nangong Huan completely at a disadvantage, and possibly defeated if it continued, he had no choice but to take out another treasure, to counter Lin Yingyun Mountain's burning Divine Soul with his Lifebound Soul Treasure.

"Never thought I would have to use this treasure in advance," Mingyi sighed.

This Soul Treasure of his was formed by numerous Tier Three High-Grade Medicine Spirit Yin Pills, at a considerable cost, enough spirit stones and effort to cultivate several late-stage Golden Core cultivators. He had planned to use it only when Nangong Huan and Lin Yingyun Mountain were both severely injured, but Lin Yingyun Mountain was too desperate.

But Mingyi did not realize that Nangong Huan was already looking at him with suspicion.

He had a feeling that Lin Yingyun Mountain's words were not false.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have other helpers?"

Mingyi was stunned, "What nonsense are you speaking, how could I dare to make it known, it's just you and me. Plus, I have sworn a Heart Demon Oath, how could I violate it? His words earlier were just to sow discord between us, you actually believe it?

Moreover, the method to collect True Spirit Demon Trees, even within the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, is a top secret that no other Nascent Soul major sect possesses; very few have access to it, and even fewer succeed in cultivating it.

Even if someone else succeeded, do you think the True Spirit Demon Trees are that easy to collect? To just take them away? To collect eleven at once, would you believe such nonsense? True ability like this would require a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Hearing this, Nangong Huan's newly arisen doubts vanished instantly, feeling he had been over-suspicious.

"Sowing discord?" Nangong Huan looked coldly at Lin Yingyun Mountain.

Lin Yingyun Mountain was startled.

Then laughed continuously through the pain.

"Nangong Huan, you are truly pathetic and pitiful!" Lin Yingyun Mountain, enduring the soul-tearing pain, sneered, "Only you would believe such nonsense... letting you die just like that is too easy."

Seeing that Lin Yingyun Mountain was still trying to sow discord, Mingyi quickly swore another Heart Demon Oath to prove his innocence.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Huan chuckled softly, immediately increasing the output of the Defense Talisman, "Fellow Daoist Yun Shan, your attempt to sow discord is truly clumsy and your words are too false. Collecting eleven True Spirit Demon Trees would require the means of a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Not to mention the Heart Demon Oath, even without it, he knew that Mingyi's actions would violate the rules set by the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, and once leaked, it would mean certain death, with no place left at the lower Heaven-Reaching River to hide, how dare he stir up more trouble?

Even if he believed Mingyi might betray the Heart Demon Oath and attack him later, he absolutely did not believe Mingyi dared to seek help from a cultivator stronger than himself who could collect eleven True Spirit Demon Trees.

The previous suspicion was purely a momentary lapse in judgment.

...

Half an hour later.

The twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth True Spirit Demon Trees were successively refined by the East Spring Undying Bone.

Of the sixteen True Spirit Demon Trees, only two remained.

The karmic power within the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses had also been refined by sixty percent, and the Divine Killing Momentum in the Blood Pool had reached an unprecedented height, extending from one arm to two.

At this moment, Wen Jiu felt that the arms of the East Spring Undying Bone were terrifyingly strong, perhaps already capable of tearing apart any body cultivator below Golden Core Perfection even without using the Extremely Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques.

Just like tearing a cabbage by hand.

Even with a Tier Three Top-Grade Defense Talisman, the result is the same.

"I didn't expect this Karma Divine Blood Pool to also enhance the East Spring Undying Corpse Body and the Top-Grade Undying Golden Core." Wen Jiu was quite surprised, and gained a bit more anticipation for the second realm of the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques.

After refining all the karma, the East Spring Undying Bone also transformed into an Extreme Undying Corpse Demon, along with the second realm of the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques, perhaps the East Spring Undying Bone, even without reaching Tier Four, could challenge a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Of course.

This was merely Wen Jiu's imagination.

He would never do that; he only wanted to crush others. Once the East Spring Undying Bone transforms into the External Nascent Soul, he would avoid interacting with the Nascent Soul elders who have lived for thousands of years — he just wanted to slowly gain experience.

When the Four Corpses, Five Ghosts, and himself all reached the Nascent Soul Realm, then it wouldn't be too late to mingle in the circles of Nascent Soul elders.

In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed.

The long-awaited moment for Wen Jiu finally arrived.

Even though Wen Jiu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at this moment, unable to even sit down.

Excitedly pacing in the courtyard, Zhao Ming, not understanding the situation, hurriedly poured a cup of Spirit Tea and placed it on the stone table by the fish pond.

She wanted to speak but seeing Wen Jiu like this for the first time, hesitated several times but ultimately returned to the room without saying a word.

In the next moment.

When the sixteenth True Spirit Demon Tree was completely refined, the bloodline of the East Spring Undying Bone finally completed its transformation.

Midnight arrived as expected shortly after.

"Finally!"

Wen Jiu was so excited he almost jumped up.

After such a long wait and unexpectedly being noticed by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, all the efforts and waiting finally brought the harvest.

With the completion of the Extreme Undying Corpse Demon, the achievement of the External Nascent Soul by the East Spring Undying Bone was a foregone conclusion.

It's almost impossible for anything unexpected to happen.

Next, he just needed to find a Tier-Breaking Land to cross the tribulation, and the External Nascent Soul could be achieved, taking a solid step towards achieving the Nascent Soul as his main self.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu couldn't wait to start introspecting the East Spring Undying Bone. The most direct change in the blood transformation was the Top-Grade Undying Golden Core, which is the actual bone of the East Spring Undying Bone.

At this moment, the Undying Golden Core of the East Spring Undying Bone had turned completely crimson, just like karma, and also like the Karma Divine Blood Pool, not only filled with the power of the Top-Grade Undying Golden Core, but also containing a more powerful force - the source energy of the Corpse Demon.

The energy potential within that force was even stronger than that formed by the blood pool of the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques.

Moreover, the originally quite abnormal Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi experienced another unimaginable enhancement at this moment. Originally, the effects of Spirit-Extinction and devouring gained an additional layer of corruptive power.

The lingering Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, which hadn't been withdrawn yet, rapidly corrupted and decayed everything it permeated.

Like corpses rotting.

And this corruptive power wasn't just that; even a damaged Tier Three Demon Array began to decay as if it had aged thousands of years, merely by being passed over by the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi.

Even the monsters on the ground shared the same fate.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

"This..."

Wen Jiu stared at this scene, unable to calm himself for a long time, then threw a Tier Three High-grade Demon Artifact obtained from Li Lai into the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi. Something that even late-stage Golden Core cultivators have to exert effort to destroy decayed and collapsed into a puddle of black water in the blink of an eye like tender meat.

"Well, it's becoming increasingly demonic. Previously, it was just Spirit-Extinction, at least the world in the Land of Absolute Spirit could still exist, but now the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi is enough to decay everything into a foul puddle of black water."

As long as the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi keeps spreading, even the disappearance of a Floating Domain is only a matter of time. This is a thousand times more terrifying than the Demon Realm... if this Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi were to be witnessed by the Demon Dao, the right, left, demon paths would not tolerate the East Spring Undying Bone," Wen Jiu couldn't find words for a moment.

Strong indeed.

Yet increasingly demonic.
