Chapter 467 - 466: Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi

Chapter 467: Chapter 466: Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi

One of the men flipped his palm, and a Battle Halberd appeared.

But this Battle Halberd was made of gleaming white bone and emitted an ancient aura. It seemed to have been forged from bones.

Another held a long, rust-spotted spear. Despite the rust, the spear emanated astonishingly powerful fluctuations.

The three of them attacked simultaneously, targeting Master Xuan Ji, Yuan Huaitian, and Sect Leader Wan, respectively.

The leader, a man whose hands were like skeletal claws, had the strongest aura. He clearly possessed the strength of the Divine Mansion Soul Pool Realm.

He thrust out his large hand. A storm of sinister, evil energy surged forth, threatening to engulf not only Master Xuan Ji but the very Void above the North Spirit Platform. The aura it radiated caused the souls of many Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators to tremble in fear, even from a great distance.

’Are these Evil Cultivators?’ Master Xuan Ji’s brow furrowed.

Great Sun Vajra Hand!

Then, with a flick of his hand, he conjured the Great Sun Vajra Hand and sent it to meet the advancing bone claw.

The massive hand flew through the air, manifesting a golden sun that burst forth with dazzling light.

The golden light bloomed, containing not only a righteous aura but also a searing flame that seemed capable of incinerating the heavens.

The current of energy swept out, intent on burning the sinister, evil energy from the bone claw to nothingness, bit by bit.

This allowed the Cultivators from the various Sects to breathe a small sigh of relief. Buddhist Cultivation Methods were naturally effective at suppressing the Demon Dao.

"The Great Sun Vajra Hand?" The man with hands like bone claws had a fiendish light flicker in his eyes. "It certainly has some merit."

"But my Corpse Spirit Hall has spent the last millennium focused on condensing Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi, and we have long since made great progress. So today, I’ll let you witness the true power of my Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi!" The man gave a savage grin. Light Patterns swirled in his pupils and flickered on his right claw as a unique stream of energy suddenly surged forth.

It was a stream of eerie blue energy.

This energy swept out from the bone claw, and wherever it passed, the golden light was instantly engulfed, as if devoured by the blue stream.

"This..." Seeing this, even Master Xuan Ji felt waves of shock crash through him.

His Great Sun Vajra Hand contained the power of the Great Sun Golden Flame, an incredibly domineering type of Power, yet it had just been devoured.

’Corpse Spirit Hall?’ At the same time, his pupils contracted sharply.

The evil man’s words sent waves of shock through his heart.

The Corpse Spirit Hall was clearly an evil faction, not one of the Righteous Sects of the Southern Wilderness.

Yet, this was the first time he had ever heard of this faction.

This showed just how deeply this faction was hidden, and what incredible forbearance these evil forces possessed.

BANG!

Just then, the bone claw, carrying the Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi, pierced through the dazzling golden light and clashed fiercely with Master Xuan Ji’s Vajra Hand.

DING!

A sound like striking metal rang out.

Master Xuan Ji’s Vajra Hand trembled slightly, its advance halted. The aura of the bone claw also weakened somewhat.

However, at the moment of impact, the Great Sun Golden Flame and the Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi were also clashing.

The two Powers intertwined, each trying to annihilate the other. But in this confrontation, it was clear that the eerie blue Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi had a slight advantage. This minuscule difference was enough to set Master Xuan Ji back as the opponent’s bone claw continued to erupt with astonishing Power.

That Power crushed the Great Sun Golden Yang with overwhelming momentum.

At the same time, Master Xuan Ji’s Vajra Hand was forced to retreat.

"Master Xuan Ji is at a disadvantage!" This scene shocked the Cultivators from the various Sects.

At that moment, Yuan Huaitian and Sect Leader Wan were also repelled by the other two powerhouses.

The three of them had actually fallen into a disadvantage in the very first exchange.

’These three are so strong!’

"The aura they possess is incredibly evil!" Yuan Huaitian and Sect Leader Wan both frowned.

"That’s Corpse Qi. Be careful, don’t let it invade your body under any circumstances," Master Xuan Ji warned.

He was currently striking with all his might, incinerating the strands of Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi that were trying to invade his body.

At the same time, he keenly felt how terrifying this evil energy was.

This energy could devour a person’s life force. If one was tainted by too much of it, there would be grave trouble.

"Heh heh, so this is all the Southern Wilderness Cultivators amount to," the three powerhouses from the Corpse Spirit Hall laughed aloud.

They strolled forward and continued their assault.

’The Corpse Spirit Hall’s Devouring Spirit Corpse Qi is impressive indeed.’ A glint flashed in Beiming Hua Hai’s eyes. With his powerful Divine Sense, he could also feel the strength of the three Corpse Spirit Hall powerhouses. ’Good. With their help, I won’t have to exert myself as much. In that case, let’s end this battle now!’

As his deep voice faded, he made his move.

SWISH!

The Kunpeng Sword appeared, slashing toward Master Xuan Ji. Beiming Hua Hai intended to help the men from the Corpse Spirit Hall end the battle quickly.

With the sudden addition of Beiming Hua Hai, the pressure on Master Xuan Ji multiplied. He attacked with all his might, conjuring the Thousand Buddha Hands.

The Buddha hands struck out, filling the Void, but they still couldn’t overwhelm the enemy’s powerful attacks. The Corpse Spirit Hall expert’s bone claw pierced directly through the Buddha hands. His figure moved like a phantom as he lunged for Master Xuan Ji’s physical body. Beiming Hua Hai was also pressing closer step by step. With this, Master Xuan Ji’s situation became extremely perilous.

Nearby, Yuan Huaitian and Sect Leader Wan were not faring any better.

"It’s over, it’s all over!" Seeing this, the Cultivators hiding at the edge of the North Spirit Platform, shrouded by their treasures, all revealed expressions of despair.

Beiming Hua Hai alone was already difficult to deal with. Now, with the addition of three Evil Cultivators from the Corpse Spirit Hall, their side had clearly lost any advantage.

’Is our Southern Wilderness going to fall into another dark age?’ Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun and the others felt a wave of powerlessness.

Although they had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the gap between them and the Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses was simply too vast. They couldn’t even withstand the aftershocks of the latter’s Divine Techniques.

"To think that this Martial Arts Competition would be the beginning of a nightmare for us Southern Wilderness Cultivators!" The Sect Leader of the North Sea Sect had a bitter expression. If they had known this would happen, why would they have worked together to open the North Spirit Ruins? If they had just destroyed the North Spirit Token, Xu Zitao would never have been able to break the Seal!

As he was filled with regret, he couldn’t help but glance toward the North Spirit Ancient Stele.

At this moment, high in the Void before the Sealing Demon Platform in the North Spirit Ruins, a massive Kunpeng had already taken form.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Endless Demonic Qi was drawn to it, merging into the Kunpeng’s body and causing its aura to skyrocket continuously.

On the long bridge of the Sealing Demon Platform, Ling Fei looked up at the Kunpeng, a feeling of powerlessness washing over him.

"The Kunpeng’s Split Soul is absorbing the overflowing Kunpeng Essence Qi. If its strength continues to rise, it will probably be able to completely shatter the Sealing Demon Array. When that happens, its true body will escape. At that point, I’m afraid no one in the entire Southern Wilderness will be able to suppress it," Lian Shuang said in a low voice, her brow slightly furrowed.

She and Xu Zitao had originally come to the Southern Wilderness to help the Kunpeng emerge and plunge the region into chaos, which would then affect the entire world.

But now that the Kunpeng was about to be freed, she no longer felt the ease of completing her mission.

The Lian Shuang of today had clearly decided to do what she wanted to do, and would no longer be anyone’s puppet.

"Man’s strength is faint; in the end, we’re powerless to turn the tide," Shangguan Wan’Er said, her face filled with sorrow.

In the Beiming Sword Sect, and indeed the entire Southern Wilderness, she was a prodigy of the Sword Dao.

But after witnessing Xu Zitao’s true power, she had become deeply aware of her own weakness.

Now, with the emergence of the Kunpeng, she felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.

WENG!

Suddenly, on the Sealing Demon Platform, the Light Patterns on the Five Elements Array Pillars flickered. Profound Array Patterns began to stir, repairing the tear that Xu Zitao had ripped open earlier.
