Devour

Where Qi Jifen's headless body was abandoned, there were only messy bones. The nearby pigs had gnawed away all the flesh and skin, and a few maggots occasionally crawled out of the gaps between the remaining bones.

Shen Ya stood still in an empty space and sighed, "Such a beautiful place with clear water and mountains, how come there are corpses ruining the scenery?"

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner stopped and sneered, "Those are the remains of the defeated generals, and they will become food for the monsters."

Shen Ya was slightly stunned when he heard the sinister words, but he still said in a voice as gentle as jade: "Brother Qi's mood has become much colder."

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner has acquired the gift of a Yin Spirit Body, and his strength is greater than ever before. He is determined to obtain the Overlord Body and put away the Ghost King Fan.

Shen Ya, holding the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear, was puzzled when he saw this: "Although Brother Qi's skills have greatly improved, it is too arrogant to think that he can take on my Overlord Spear Skill with his bare hands."

"No, I just want to learn from you about spearmanship." The leader of the Huangyu Banner drew out the Overlord Spear from his treasure bag.

Shen Ya's pupils shrank. He had never expected that the person who stole the Overlord Spear was right in front of him. He suddenly realized, "You are not Qi Jifen. Although you look alike, there is always a difference in the tone of his speech. He always pretends to be noble and elegant, but you are bold and bold, and much more direct."

"It's a pity that you see through it too late. You will end up like Qi Jifen lying on the ground."

Hearing this, Shen Ya was shocked, but saw that the Overlord Spear stabbed swiftly and came at him forcefully. The speed and force were far beyond his expectations, so he hurriedly urged the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear to fight back.

A giant with a dragon head and a human body suddenly appeared, pointing his big hand at the incoming spear. As an overlord, he moved forward bravely and fearlessly.

Mud and rock flowed all around, and the mud giant of the Yellow Jade Flag Lord emerged from the ground. His body was stronger and broader than before, with a skeletal structure on his chest and four upper arms. He absorbed the power of the Yin Spirit Body and brought with him bursts of eerie cold air, making him even more threatening.

The old and new generations of precious spears were like two dragons fighting on the battlefield. One was like a surging wave, with overwhelming potential. The other was like a meteor with fire, with the force of thunder.

Cheng Bai, who was standing behind the waterfall, saw the two men fighting fiercely, and his blood was boiling. He secretly commented: "Although Shen Ya's skills are similar to Qi Jifen's, his spirit is better. The Magic Dragon Fire Fang Spear has fire attribute attacks, which is much more powerful than the Ghost King Fan. Although he is at a disadvantage, he can still be undefeated."

Shen Ya's spear skills were outstanding. After fighting for hundreds of moves, he was able to hold on for a while, but the competition in the domain was repeatedly suppressed.

The giant with a dragon head and a human body is obviously not as strong as the mud giant. Ice debris keeps condensing on his body, making it difficult for him to exert his slaughterhouse effect. Instead, he falls into the mudslide and gradually sinks, showing signs of defeat.

Shen Ya seemed to not care at all. He just fought more and more bravely with his opponent and concentrated on countering his moves.

Cheng Bai opened his spiritual eyes and saw that the secret technique of rebirth was taking effect. A black shadow invisible to the naked eye was entangled with Shen Ya, seizing his natural luck. Once successful, there would be no mystery about talent and martial arts.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Shen Ya, and he will soon be unable to recover. The outcome is about to be decided.

The lower half of the giant with a dragon head and a human body fell into the mudslide. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. Lightning and thunder flashed all over his body. He actually forced the mudslide aside, shattered the ice chips, and climbed up.

Cheng Bai could see that the black shadow that was regenerating from the power of the Desperate Movement also stopped and was forced back by the current. He was surprised: "The Overlord Body is extraordinary. He actually has the ability to fight back... No, he broke through the realm during the battle, similar to what happened to me last time."

Shen Ya has reached perfection in the Return to Root Realm. He broke through his limits in the midst of crisis and stepped half a foot into the Broad Dharma Realm. New strange phenomena and changes have occurred in the domain, with lightning surging and his strength significantly improved.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Flag was caught off guard and was shocked. He shouted, "A cornered dog will make a desperate struggle." He did not hesitate at all and activated his energy to entangle the opponent again, suppressing the lightning. At the same time, the mudslide phenomenon changed drastically.

I saw densely packed tombstones rising from the mud, with runes engraved on the tombstones and skulls of various shapes growing on the top. Each one was howling like a ghost, and was terrifying. The underworld appeared for the first time, and the eerie and cold air was even worse.

Shen Ya suddenly felt dizzy and cold to the bone. He hurriedly tried his best to mobilize the power of the domain. The giant with a dragon head and a human body was surrounded by electricity. He pushed away all the surrounding tombstones and the owner of the topaz flag, and his condition improved slightly.

Cheng Bai's spiritual eyes saw it clearly, and he thought to himself: "Shen Ya's domain has grown. It is not simply releasing electrical energy. He is clearly controlling the characteristics of the electromagnetic field to fight against his opponent. But the master of the topaz flag is more powerful. He can also cause mental attacks, which is hard to defend against."

Just as he finished thinking, he saw Shen Ya taking advantage of the brief gap when the repulsive field pushed his opponent away, took out a blue-black pill from his treasure bag and swallowed it.

Cheng Bai was surprised: "He also has the Soul-Nourishing Pill."

With the help of the Soul-Nourishing Pill, Shen Ya was able to withstand the ghostly howling sounds and catch his breath. He tightly gripped the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear and used all his strength to perform his ultimate move "Dominate the World".

The leader of the Huangyu Banner was forced to retreat. He felt ashamed even though he was obviously more powerful. He shouted, "You little thief from the Shen family, let's see who has better spear skills." He also tried his best to display the most powerful move of Taizu's Pear Blossom Spear, "A Flash of Bloom".

Two gun flowers bloomed, brilliant light blossomed magnificently on the field, energy overflowed, and strong winds blew, even the nearby trees were blown down, and the waterfall in the distance was blown away.

After all, the gap in skill between Shen Ya and the others was too big, and he was knocked far away to the ground. His hands were injured at the base of his palms, and he couldn't hold the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear anymore. The giant with the dragon head and human body was defeated and dissipated.

Although the leader of the Huangyu Banner had the upper hand after taking the powerful move, his clothes were torn and he looked a little embarrassed. He activated his secret technique to entangle Shen Ya again, and was about to succeed in his plan of resurrecting.

His domain was so wide that he could detect a figure hiding behind the scattered waterfall without looking directly at it. He shouted angrily, "You dare to hide and peek, you will die."

He raised his hand and threw the Overlord Spear in his hand, intending to pierce the man through the heart.

Cheng Bai complained inwardly: "I'm not trying to interfere with your fair fight. You're the one who provoked me."

At this level, he no longer relied on invisibility to dodge. He moved sideways to avoid the sharp tip of the spear, reached out and grabbed the spear shaft firmly. The Overlord Spear trembled slightly, but he could not struggle to get away.

Cheng Bai felt the force, and his hand was like a wild dragon trying to break free from his grasp. He quickly used his internal energy to suppress it, and put the spear into his treasure bag. He was secretly happy: "The power is just right, it's hard to say if it could be a little stronger. It's a treasure that was sent to my door for free, and it was obtained without any effort."

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner was shocked when he saw that the Overlord Spear had disappeared into thin air. He said, "Who is the expert who suppressed the treasure and took it away? Could it be that Fang Wanzhan came in person?"

He was just about to take a closer look at who was behind the waterfall that was gradually returning to its original state, but Cheng Bai had already stretched out his fingers and fired a few sniper-fired vibration waves that splashed the water and hit the target silently, knocking the leader of the Yellow Jade Flag to the ground in a miserable state. Even the mud giant's blocking could not stop the attack.

Cheng Bai was secretly proud of himself. Isn't it the best way to deal with the secret technique of rebirth by killing from a distance before it gets touched?

The mud giant stretched out his body, and suddenly condensed mud and rocks into a thick wall blocking the two of them. The master of the topaz flag took the opportunity to roll over and get up, jumping and hopping away at a high speed, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

Cheng Bai suddenly felt no sense of accomplishment, and thought to himself: "This old guy is tough, I didn't beat him to death, that's amazing." But he had no intention of chasing him.

Shen Ya was finally not deprived of his rebirth. After a moment of confusion, he woke up and shouted, "Which senior can help me? Please accept my greetings."

Cheng Bai did not respond. He had already been teleported to the front of the Yaoguang Temple. Now that he had obtained the Overlord Spear, he naturally should exchange it for more powerful secret techniques and reach the top.

The palace was dim and the air was sticky and strange, as if it was a tangible object, touching every life that entered the palace. That feeling made people feel very weak and helpless, as if the high and mighty monarch was playing with a toy in his hands.

Cheng Bai felt the subtle differences from before and slowly walked to the open-air hall where the altar was located.

As expected, the Lord of the White Jade Banner led the army of corpse slaves to guard quietly, including the hunters who died while exploring the Yaoguang Temple. Any invaders would be killed and added to the army of corpse slaves.

Cheng Bai was no longer invisible. Now he was fearless with his strength. He strode forward with great strides. The energy of his sword spread over a hundred meters, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. His fighting spirit was high, his momentum was rising steadily, he was unstoppable and invincible. With every swing of his sword, nearly a hundred corpses were torn into pieces.

Many corpse slaves fell to the ground like straw being cut, with broken limbs flying everywhere. Even the leader of the White Jade Banner who rushed forward was quickly repelled by the powerful sword energy, and no one could get close to him.

There were corpses everywhere, but no blood.

They fought their way to the altar, the air around them was filled with the smell of decay and death, and behind them were only piles of corpses and fragments. Their feat of victory was unimaginable in the past.

The leader of the White Jade Flag was cut into dozens of pieces by the five-fold sword energy and died completely.

Its corpse demon crystal core fell into Cheng Bai's hands. It was the most round and perfect snow-white sphere ever seen, and it was just waiting for the opportunity to transform into an inner elixir.

Cheng Bai was quite satisfied with the result of keeping the corpse demon until now to harvest it. He expanded his domain to devour the crystal core without hesitation, and his skills improved by a big step forward.

The open-air hall was dark as ink and silent, with no one to stop it.

Cheng Bai put away the knife, took out the Overlord Spear and placed it on the altar. As the treasure disappeared, bright light illuminated the entire dark hall. The altar unfolded a majestic rune chapter, containing tremendous power.

Cheng Bai carefully examined the new secret technique.

"Star Shower" attracts a group of small meteorites to form a meteor shower, causing large-scale fire and kinetic damage. It is powerful and wide-ranging, enough to destroy towns, and the effect is shocking.

"Massacre" greatly increases the destructive power to flesh and blood life forms. This is the power that warriors dream of. The physical body is the foundation of martial arts. Strengthening and destroying the physical body brings significant combat power. It is very likely that the weak will defeat the strong.

"Eviction" means expelling the target to a distant space, or bringing it to the front from a distance. The weaker the target, the farther the impact. The spatial abilities involved are mysterious and unpredictable, and using them properly can bring surprises.

Cheng Bai chose the secret art of slaughter with almost no hesitation. The momentum brought by the battle just now that surpassed all living beings was so wonderful, and with even stronger power, it would surely reach a higher level.

"With Massacre, there is no body that I cannot kill." Feeling the mystery of the secret technique, any body seemed to become vulnerable. Cheng Bai got what he wished and teleported away.

The Yaoguang Temple was dark and gloomy until a few days later, when two men and one woman stepped into the open-air hall, lighting the altar with torches in their hands.

They were the Master of the Green Jade Banner, the Master of the Red Jade Banner, and the Master of the Black Jade Banner. The three of them had solemn expressions as they stepped over countless shriveled corpses and slowly walked to the altar.

The Red Jade Banner leader said in a clear voice: "For this day, the White Jade Banner was completely wiped out and sacrificed everything. Even the bodies could not be buried peacefully."

The leader of the Black Jade Banner coughed lightly, as if he was injured, and sighed, "One man's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. I don't know whether future generations will resent us or be grateful to us."

The leader of the Qingyu Banner bowed his head and said, "Most of them are resentful. I poisoned most of the people in Jianya. Gai Xun is missing, Xing Jue has been missing for a long time, and the Jian Sect is almost destroyed. People only know that Qingyu is vicious, but they don't know that the Jian Sect is selfish and missed the opportunity to fight."

The leader of the Red Jade Flag handed the torch to the leader of the Black Jade Flag, took out the blood bottle from his arms, and slowly poured a drop of blood onto the altar.

Smoke hissed from the place where the blood fell, and the blood drop actually dissolved a small hole in the altar, which was getting deeper and deeper. The rising black smoke became thicker and thicker, so thick that it seemed as if ink was about to drip out.

"Come on."

The leader of the Jade Flag let out a low growl, then turned and ran away.

The leader of the Red Jade Flag put away the blood bottle, and followed closely behind him with the leader of the Black Jade Flag, and rushed out of the Yaoguang Temple.

The black gas on the altar became thicker and thicker, and suddenly burst out, splitting into thin strands, reaching out to the ground like living tentacles.

The body parts that came into contact began to tremble and crawl like worms, gradually gathering together to form a huge corpse ball. The limbs stretched out tremblingly, and a huge head with a green face and fangs poked out, and its neck tilted unconsciously, forming a giant corpse puppet that was 90 meters high, replacing the army of corpse slaves.

Cheng Bai had already returned to the Three Sages Valley and completed his new homework. He had mastered many of the secrets of the "Secret Book of Medicine" and "The Essence of the Eight Immortals' Journey", especially his lightness skills had made great progress.

In his spare time, he met Ningxiang again. Seeing that she had another wound on her hand, he couldn't help but ask her about it with concern.

Ningxiang smiled and said, "It's okay, I volunteered and it will heal soon."

Cheng Bai comforted her, "When I refine the Blood Ginseng Pill, I will make the wound smooth and flawless like new."

Ningxiang nodded shyly.

But it is easier said than done. Although I know the method of refining from the secret book, I lack experience, and refining elixir is by no means an easy task.

Cheng Bai pondered in his heart: "At least I have to forge a pill furnace first. I haven't mastered this kind of technology yet. The blood ginseng pill is not an ordinary product, so I can't make do with it. It would be great if I had a ready-made spiritual tripod pill furnace."

It just so happened that Fang Wanzhan asked Cheng Bai to go to Qishan to collect luxury silver. He rode Xiaobai, passed through the Qixiu peaks and forests, and headed to his destination in the north. By the way, he planned to turn east and go to Tianshu City.

The Qixiu Peak Forest has magnificent scenery, with crisscrossing gullies, undulating rocks, shady trees, and flocks of birds and beasts. It nurtures strange and magical beasts with wisdom close to that of humans and wildness. The southern peak forest is the territory of the gibbon, and the northern Qishan is the paradise of the multi-eared macaque.

The gibbon is strong, tall, and has very long arms. It is so strong that it can move mountains and overturn rivers. Sometimes it pulls up thousands of pounds or even tens of thousands of pounds of boulders from the ground and throws them high up, making a terrifying sound.

In the Qixiu Peak Forest, there are sometimes strange phenomena of mountains moving, which are caused by the joint efforts of the gibbon macaques to pull up huge rocks and throw them. In a short time, the huge peaks are pulled up one by one by the apes, and thrown to another place to form new peaks, just like the mountains are moving and the earth is shaking.
