Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Black Gold Blood Earthworm is not particularly weak; it is not an easy task for a ghost cultivator at the early stage of the fifth rank to kill it.

The Green-Faced Ghost King dared to choose the Black Gold Blood Earthworm as his target because he was confident in his and Lu Cheng'an's strength.

As long as Lu Chengan can control the movements of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, he can quickly and severely injure it.

“I have no objection. If Fellow Daoist Qingmian is confident in killing that Black Gold Blood Earthworm, then we will take action against it!” Lu Cheng’an said.

"Fellow Daoist Lu only needs to use the Tranquil Ancient Seal as an aid, and I will go all out to kill that Black Gold Blood Earthworm!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King smiled slightly, then led Lu Cheng'an at breakneck speed toward the location of the black-gold blood earthworm.

The Black Gold Blood Earthworm was about five thousand miles away from Lu Cheng'an. Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King were extremely fast, and in a short while, they arrived at the location of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

The Black Gold Blood Earthworm, a type of Netherworld Beast, lives underground. When Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost King arrived, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm was still in the underground soil.

"Next, I will use the Beast Soul Incense to lure the Black Gold Blood Earthworm out of the ground. Once the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's body is completely detached from the soil, Fellow Daoist Lu, please immediately take action to immobilize it!"

As the Green-Faced Ghost King spoke, he took out a palm-sized black jade bowl, which contained half a bowl of bluish-black paste.

This stuff is Beast Soul Incense.

The Beast Soul Incense has a fatal attraction for Nether Beasts; if a Nether Beast catches even a tiny whiff of it, it will go completely mad.

The beast soul incense in the hands of the Green-Faced Ghost King was of the fifth-grade low quality. This grade of beast soul incense was less attractive to Nether Beasts of the early fifth grade and above, but it was extremely attractive to Nether Beasts of the early fifth grade and below.

Low-level Nether Beasts rarely live in areas inhabited by high-level Nether Beasts. Therefore, even if the Green-Faced Ghost King lit the Beast Soul Incense, it would only attract the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, a Nether Beast at the early stage of the fifth rank. There was no need to worry about attracting other Nether Beasts.

After giving Lu Cheng'an some instructions, the Green-Faced Ghost King made a hand seal and lit the Beast Soul Incense.

A moment later, an extremely pungent odor wafted out from the lit beast soul incense.

The scent did not spread under the control of the Green-Faced Ghost King, but instead seeped into the underground soil layer where the Black Gold Blood Earthworm was located.

Time passed slowly, and more and more of the scent of beast soul incense seeped into the underground soil.

Suddenly, the previously calm ground began to arch upwards, and muffled thunder-like sounds came from underground.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful! The Black Gold Blood Earthworm is about to emerge!" the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor shouted. He then extinguished the Beast Soul Incense, stored it in his storage artifact, and prepared to attack.

Lu Cheng'an had been paying attention to the surrounding movements. Even without the Green-Faced Ghost King's reminder, he had noticed the presence of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

A moment after the Blue-Faced Ghost King's voice fell, the churning earth was completely exposed, and at that moment, a huge Netherworld beast with a body length of over a hundred feet emerged from the earth.

This beast was entirely dark gold in color, with an extremely large body and a shape resembling an earthworm.

Without any hesitation, as soon as the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's body fully emerged from the ground, Lu Cheng'an immediately used the Thousand Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack it.

The Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal do not have strong offensive capabilities. These two divine abilities will reduce the lifespan of cultivators, control their actions, and also weaken their combat power to a certain extent. They are very strong auxiliary divine abilities.

Of course, if Lu Cheng'an could further enhance the power of these two divine abilities, then they would no longer be just simple auxiliary abilities.

Although the Black Gold Blood Earthworm was extremely large, its cultivation level was only at the early stage of the fifth rank, and it was not able to withstand the invasion of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal.

The power of these two supernatural abilities struck the massive body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, instantly freezing it in place.

The Green-Faced Ghost King had been keeping a close eye on the situation of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm. After sensing Lu Cheng'an's move, he quickly summoned a pair of jade-colored scissors.

This jade-colored pair of scissors is called the Azure Yin Sha Scissors, a low-grade fifth-tier Yin treasure.

This Yin treasure has been refined by the Green-Faced Ghost King for many years, and it is the most powerful Yin treasure that the Green-Faced Ghost King can unleash.

Two streams of blue-gray light emerged from the Azure Yin Sha Scissors, and within these two streams of light surged a fierce aura of malevolent energy.

At this moment, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's movements were controlled by Lu Cheng'an, and it could only let the power released by the Azure Yin Sha Scissors cut its body.

With a sound of flesh being pierced, the two sharp blades of the Azure Yin Sha Scissors pierced directly into the body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

The black-gold skin of the black-gold blood earthworm was extremely tough, but it could not withstand the power of the Azure Yin Sha Scissors. In an instant, its skin was cut open.

At this moment, the Green-Faced Ghost King cast another spell, and the Azure Yin Sha Scissors, which had already pierced the body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, suddenly emitted a dazzling light and burst forth with even more powerful force.

With a clang of metal on metal, the Azure Yin Sha Scissors cut through the flesh of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, and the blades landed on the spine that connected the entire body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

This spine supports the massive body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm; once this spine is cut, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's body will be cut in two.

At that time, thanks to the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's formidable vitality, it will not die immediately, but its strength will be greatly weakened.

However, the spine was too hard. Even with the incredibly sharp Azure Yin Sha Scissors, cutting through the spine of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm was no easy task.

After suffering severe injuries, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm experienced intense pain, which also caused it to unleash its potential. It struggled to break free from the control of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

At this point, it immediately launched a fierce counterattack in an attempt to resolve its predicament.

Unfortunately, Lu Cheng'an had been keeping a close eye on the situation of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm. Once it broke free from the control of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal, Lu Cheng'an once again used these two divine powers to attack the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

After this attack, the Black Blood Earthworm not only lost control of its body again, but its lifespan was also significantly reduced once more.

After its lifespan is reduced, the Black Blood Earthworm becomes much weaker.

The state of the black blood earthworm quickly attracted the attention of Lu Cheng'an and the green-faced ghost king, who immediately took action.

He quickly cast a spell, pushing the power of the Azure Yin Sha Scissors to its limit.

With a snapping sound, the spine of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, which had withstood the Azure Yin Sha Scissors for so long, finally gave way and was severed.

The flesh and blood of the black blood earthworm had long been cut open, and now only this hard spine remained to connect its body.

Now, with its spine severed by the Azure Yin Sha Scissors, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's body has broken in two. The Black Gold Blood Earthworm possesses extremely strong vitality; even after its body is severed, it does not die and retains formidable fighting abilities.

However, this strength was nothing in front of the Green-Faced Ghost King. Lu Cheng'an didn't even need to make a move. The Green-Faced Ghost King was able to kill the greatly weakened Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

"I used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal on the Black Gold Blood Earthworm twice in a row. After the second use, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's lifespan was reduced to almost a thousand years!"

"After losing so much of its lifespan, the Black Gold Blood Earthworm's body developed serious problems; otherwise, its spine wouldn't have been so easily severed by the Green Face!"

Lu Cheng'an looked thoughtful, but unfortunately, he only had the Black Gold Blood Earthworm as his research subject, which prevented him from making any progress.

The Green-Faced Ghost King did not notice Lu Cheng'an's abnormality. After cutting the body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm in two, he took out a palm-sized jade bottle.

He summoned the jade bottle and cast a spell. A devouring power surged from the bottle, absorbing the blood flowing from the broken body of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm.

The blood of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm contains extremely pure energy, which can be used to cultivate various high-level plants from the Netherworld.

If the Five Elements True Essence Lotus that the Green-Faced Ghost King just obtained is nourished by the blood of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, its growth rate will be accelerated.

Lu Cheng'an brought the Five Elements True Essence Lotus to the mortal world to cultivate it. Since it has already been nourished with pure Yang energy, it cannot be cultivated with the blood of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, otherwise it will directly cause the Five Elements True Essence Lotus to die.

The jade bottle absorbed blood extremely quickly; in just a short while, eighty percent of the massive amount of blood within the Black Gold Blood Earthworm was absorbed by the jade bottle.

The Black Blood Earthworm had already suffered severe damage, and now, after losing so much blood, even with its tenacious vitality, it could no longer hold on and died.

The Nether Beast has no primordial spirit. After its physical body dies, only a trace of its yin spirit emanates from its body and then slowly dissipates.

The Green-Faced Ghost King quickly disposed of the corpse of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm, then dug out its enormous heart and carefully put it away.

The most precious part of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm is its heart, which is the main ingredient for refining a fifth-grade low-level Profound Yin Elixir.

The Profound Yin Elixir is a breakthrough pill that can help a ghost cultivator in the early stage of the fifth rank break through to the middle stage of the fifth rank.

The heart of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm is the proof that the Green-Faced Ghost King killed the Black Gold Blood Earthworm at the early stage of the fifth rank. After the Green-Faced Ghost King leaves the Wasteland of No Return, he needs to hand over the heart of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm to the Underworld Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll go search the nest of the Black Gold Blood Earthworm and see what I can find," the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor said with a smile.

The Black Gold Blood Earthworm is a fifth-tier early-stage Nether Beast. It has lived in the Boundless Wasteland for many years, and its lair is very likely to contain some fifth-tier treasures.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian, be careful. If there is any danger, come out immediately!" Lu Cheng'an said.

After responding, the Green-Faced Ghost King immediately disappeared into the underground soil.

After observing the surrounding situation, Lu Cheng'an also disappeared into the underground soil.

However, he was only in the shallow layer of the earth's surface and did not go deep underground.

The black dragon earthworm has an extremely large body and lives in a relatively deep underground location.

The Green-Faced Ghost King searched for half an hour before finally finding the lair of the Black Gold Dragon Earthworm.

The Black Gold Dragon Earthworm's nest was extremely large, and there were indeed some fifth-tier treasures inside. Moreover, there was no danger inside. The Green-Faced Ghost King quickly searched the nest for treasures and then left to meet up with Lu Cheng'an.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, these are some things I found in the Black Gold Dragon Earthworm's Nest, but unfortunately they are of no use to you!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King sighed softly. Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, he immediately took out all the treasures he had searched in the Black Gold Dragon Earthworm's Nest and handed them over to Lu Cheng'an for inspection.

After glancing at the items, Lu Cheng'an looked away and asked, "What are Fellow Daoist Qingmian's plans next?"

After putting away the treasures, the Green-Faced Ghost King hesitated for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu and I easily killed the early stage of the fifth rank Nether Beast. Now that we have entered the Boundless Wasteland, would Fellow Daoist Lu be interested in picking the Taixu Divine Fruit?"

During this time, the Green-Faced Ghost King studied the things left behind by Zi Shuang and Xue Yun and discovered the information they left behind about the Tai Xu Divine Fruit in the Boundless Wasteland.

This includes the specific location of the Taixu Divine Fruit in the Boundless Wasteland, as well as the dangers associated with the place where the Taixu Divine Fruit grows.

The place where the Taixu Divine Fruit grows is extremely secluded, where there is a mid-stage fifth-tier Shadow Flying Tiger.

Even with Lu Cheng'an's help, the Green-Faced Ghost King was not confident that he could kill the Shadow Flying Tiger.

However, his goal was not to kill the Shadow Flying Tiger, but to use Lu Cheng'an's power to immobilize the Shadow Flying Tiger, and then he would find an opportunity to quickly harvest the Taixu Divine Fruit.

With the help of the Taixu Divine Fruit, he would have a greater chance of breaking through to the mid-stage of the fifth rank in a short period of time.

Even without relying on Lu Cheng'an's power, he will be able to kill a fifth-tier early-stage Nether Beast.

"Then let's do as Fellow Daoist Green Face suggests and try our luck to see if we can successfully harvest the Taixu Divine Fruit!"

"The Wasteland of No Return is quite large. Fellow Daoist Green Face, do you know the exact location where the Taixu Divine Fruit grows?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

He did have designs on the Taixu Divine Fruit, but not as strongly as the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

His cultivation had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Even though he had refined the power of the Taixu Divine Fruit, he was still far from breaking through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The reason he agreed to let the Green-Faced Ghost King pick the Great Void Divine Fruit was mainly to test the power of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal.

The Netherworld Beasts in the Wasteland have very low intelligence. Even if the Thousand-Year Seal reduces their lifespan, they cannot tell the ghost cultivators who enter the Wasteland about it.

These Netherworld Beasts are the most suitable test subjects for Lu Cheng'an!

The Green-Faced Ghost King was unaware of Lu Cheng'an's true thoughts. He was extremely happy when he heard Lu Cheng'an agree.

"We are currently quite far from where the Taixu Divine Fruit grows. Let's not delay and set off for the Taixu Divine Fruit now!" the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor said quickly.

Lu Cheng'an wanted to test the power of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal as soon as possible, so he didn't hesitate and quickly followed the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor, rushing towards the place where the Primordial Void Divine Fruit grew. (End of this chapter)
