In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

Chapter 73 Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus, Refining Begins (2k)

"Ye Zi, I know you don't like the Slave Gu. But you must understand the power of this technique."

"Since I have the opportunity today, I'll show you just how powerful the combination of multiple paths and slave paths can be."

Sha Xiao took out the Slave Gu and looked at Ye Fan in the sky.

As he spoke, he activated the Slave Gu, turning it into a wisp of yellow smoke that wrapped around his hand.

Then, Sha Xiao tossed out countless charred potatoes with his right hand.

Ye Fan was wondering why Sha Xiao had thrown away so many Jiao Lei potatoes meant for combat.

The yellow smoke from the slave-slave gu swept over the potatoes, and in the blink of an eye, the potatoes sprouted hands and feet, running all over the mountains and fields with a "heave-ho" sound.

"Four Turns of Wood Path, Slave Path Killing Move: Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers."

Sha Xiao explained.

"What kind of 'turning beans into soldiers' nonsense is this? What kind of benevolent person would turn beans into soldiers by throwing potatoes? Is the Milky Way a river too?"

Ye Fan rolled his eyes and fainted from anger at Gou Shaxiao.

Sha Xiao pretended not to hear the complaints and took out another ordinary-looking Gu worm with eight tiger whiskers.

Ye Fan took a closer look and immediately recognized it as a Rank 4 Tiger Power Gu, which, once used, would grant a person the strength of a tiger.

It has some effect on mortals, but for cultivators it's a useless thing that's neither useful nor worth discarding.

Seeing Sha Xiao activate the Tiger Power Gu, Ye Fan was wondering who he was going to bestow the Tiger Power upon when he saw Sha Xiao take out the Three-Turn Blood Shadow Gu and activate it as well.

In an instant, a blood-red giant tiger phantom, seven or eight meters tall at the shoulder, appeared out of thin air.

"Fourth-stage Blood Path Killing Move—Accomplice to a Tiger, Go!"

Sha Xiao gave a low shout and wrapped yellow smoke around the blood-red giant tiger, dyeing it with a layer of tiger skin.

The crimson tiger roared and vanished into the forest in a flash.

High in the sky, Ye Fan could clearly see the blood-red tiger shadow traversing the mountains without any hindrance, heading straight for every living creature.

Every time it takes a life, a blood-red phantom appears behind it.

Just a moment ago, it was confined to a range of fifty meters.

Ten breaths later, its hunting range had expanded to a radius of four hundred meters.

In the span of twenty breaths, it had wiped out all life within a five-mile radius of the mountains!

The speed increased exponentially, and there were many demonic beasts at the Life Spring realm among them.

However, even the demonic beasts with cultivation could not withstand the relentless onslaught of the boundless, blood-red phantoms for more than five breaths before being defeated.

Ye Fan couldn't help but gasp as he watched Sha Xiao use the Tiger Power Gu.

The power of this fighting style is obvious to the naked eye.

As long as the gap isn't so large as to be unreasonable, this is ridiculously powerful among those of the same level!

As Sha Xiao tossed out enough source blocks to flatten all the hills within a five-mile radius of the town into a plain, instructing his potato soldiers to spread the source, he looked at Ye Fan and asked, "How is it?"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "The Path of the Slave is indeed more powerful than I imagined, but I still firmly believe that as long as I am strong enough, I can break through all of this."

"Moreover, the flaws of this path are also obvious. How can an ordinary person have your level of divine sense cultivation that allows you to control all souls as one?"

Sha Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He had shown this to Ye Fan in the hope that he would figure out some kind of deadly move like "Myriad Self".

As a result, Ye Fan only thought that his strength was not enough?

Truly worthy of being someone who has persevered to the very end in this world full of numerical oddities.

Ye Fan believed in this to the core; if he didn't go all the way, who would?

"OK-

—

Sha Xiao sighed helplessly and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Soon, the crimson tiger shadow annihilated all living beings, merged together, and returned.

"Knock knock knock one"

It was clearly a phantom, but it was already over 130 meters tall. The blood tiger, crystal clear like blood-red jade, actually caused the mountain to collapse and dust to scatter everywhere.

Soaring blood energy and death energy swirled around the crimson tiger, and countless souls occasionally burst out of its transparent body, roaring.

"Waaah—"

The crimson tiger growled softly, like a big cat, obediently lying in front of Sha Xiao, awaiting his judgment.

"Heh, the limitations of wild beasts and killing moves are getting smaller and smaller."

Sha Xiao glanced at the sky and waved his hand to dispel his control over the crimson tiger.

"Roar—"

—

The crimson tiger suddenly flipped itself up, and countless souls tore at each other and fought within its body!

In no time, the turbid soul shadow within its body vanished completely.

From a distance, the crimson tiger resembled a perfect crimson emerald.

It growled softly, bowed respectfully to Sha Xiao, and its body rapidly shrank, becoming the size of a kitten in the blink of an eye before disappearing into the ground.

"Old Sha, it's out of control?"

In the sky, Ye Fan gripped the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon tightly, his aura locked onto the blood tiger that was sinking deeper into the ground.

"No, it's just a small trial."

Sha Xiao shook his head and directed the potato soldiers to place vegetation and various kinds of fire gu in the gaps between the sources, following his instructions.

"Just one try?"

As Ye Fan sensed the blood tiger rapidly receding from his perception and moving further and further away, he murmured in bewilderment.

In his view, that deadly move seemed to have its own life.

Previously it was about refining stones into living beings, and now it's reached the point of using the deadly technique of "Spirit Creation"...

Despite the turmoil in his heart, Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder just how far Sha Xiao had left them behind.

Soon, under Sha Xiao's control, all the mountains within a five-mile radius were filled in with the source material, with the highest peak being 242 meters.

Through the gaps between the Originium stones, one could see the trees that the potato soldiers had cut down and stuffed into the mountains and fields. After all the preparations were completed, the Jiao Lei potatoes each found a gap to crawl into.

"Get ready, I'm about to begin!"

Sha Xiao adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and shouted sternly.

Ye Fan also turned serious, the Bitter Sea began to tremble violently, golden lightning swirled around his body, and the aura of the Heavenly Horn Extreme Gu enveloped his entire body, ready to activate the Emperor Weapon at any moment.

"The Source, the essence of heaven and earth, the spirit of time..."

""

A series of Daoist chants rang out beside Sha Xiao. He held the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu in his left hand and made a hand seal with his right.

The emerald green true essence was activated simultaneously at every point on the massive source mountain, following the pre-laid shuttle lines.

"Boom—", "Boom," "Boom!" The scorched thunder potatoes exploded one by one in an orderly manner, shattering the source, igniting the grass and trees, and activating countless fire gu.

In an instant, countless flames erupted simultaneously from the crevices of the source mountain.

They resonated with each other and shone brightly, quickly outlining divine patterns of heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, these divine runes ignited, transforming into a massive ball of cyan-green Dao fire that enveloped everything within a five-mile radius.

Looking at Sha Xiao, who was enveloped by a massive cyan-green flame, even though he knew that everything was under his control, Ye Fan still subconsciously tightened his grip on the Azure Emperor Weapon.

Despite enduring the scorching flames, he still kept his divine sense probing around Sha Xiao, watching him closely and preparing to activate the imperial weapon at any moment.
