Starting with the Earth God, the path to immortality is deduced!

boom!

A deafening roar.

The giant hand formed from blood was shattered by the golden lightning and the heavy official seal.

Blood rained down from the sky.

It was like a foul-smelling downpour.

Zhou Yuan did not relax in the slightest after his successful attack.

Because the ground beneath our feet is collapsing.

The ground, already hollowed out by that deep pit, could not withstand the bombardment of divine magic.

It shattered like fragile thin ice.

"Ling'er, hold on tight!"

Zhou Yuan grabbed Ma Ling'er's wrist.

The two of them, along with the enormous rolling creature, plummeted into the endless abyss along with the collapsing earth and rocks.

The wind howled.

That was a chilling wind from hell.

It stings when it scrapes my face.

"Is this the Yin Sha Cave?"

Ma Ling'er screamed as she fell.

"No!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes shone like two golden lamps in the darkness.

"This was prepared long ago..."

"Slaughterhouse!"

Boom!

The two landed heavily on a solid stone platform.

Zhou Yuan knelt on one knee to absorb the impact.

The earth seal in his hand emitted a hazy yellow light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

But even with light.

The sight before them left the two of them breathless.

This is 100 meters underground.

A huge cave that has been hollowed out by human hands.

Above the dome, countless sharp spikes, like stalactites, hang upside down.

On each spike hung a shriveled corpse.

That's not a dried corpse.

That was a "human wax" that had been drained of its blood.

On the ground.

They are crisscrossing blood grooves.

Like the meridians in the human body, they are densely distributed throughout the cave.

Warm, scarlet blood flowed in these blood grooves.

They converge in the same place.

In the center of the cave.

There stands a nine-story altar.

It is made entirely of bones.

It's not a skeleton.

Instead, it was streaked with blood, like fresh bones just removed from a person.

"vomit……"

Ma Ling'er clutched her chest, almost vomiting.

The smell of blood here was so strong it was almost tangible.

Inhaling it into your lungs is like drinking a mouthful of raw blood.

"That is..."

Zhou Yuan ignored the terrifying scene around him.

His gaze was fixed on the top of the bone altar.

There was a person standing there.

A man wearing a scarlet robe.

The style of the robe was extremely strange.

The embroidery on it is not of dragons, phoenixes, or auspicious clouds.

Instead, they were distorted human faces.

As the man moved, the faces seemed to come alive, wailing in agony on the robes.

Lin Xuan, the True Man of the Wukong Sect.

He held a strangely shaped curved knife in his hand.

The blade was jet black, covered with cursed runes.

Blood was dripping from the blade.

And at his feet.

At the very center of that altar.

A semi-transparent shadow was nailed to it.

The shadow was wearing tattered City God's robes.

His limbs were firmly nailed to the altar by four thick, bone-piercing nails.

Each struggle brought with it a soul-wrenching pain.

"Zhang Zhengming!"

Zhou Yuan's teeth were grinding together.

The once dignified and upright City God of Pingyang, who devoted himself to serving the people.

At this moment, it's like a dead dog waiting to be slaughtered.

They were trampled underfoot.

His soul had become extremely thin.

It seemed as if it would dissipate with a single gust of wind.

The once golden divine light is now nothing but a withered, lifeless aura.

"what……"

A faint, almost inaudible groan was heard.

Zhou Yuan suddenly turned his head.

All that could be seen was below the altar.

Countless people knelt down in dense crowds.

They were the "walking dead" who had disappeared from the ground before.

now.

They were all entangled in a strange black vine.

The vines burrowed into their veins.

It pierced their skulls.

Gumbling.

It looked like they were sipping some delicious beverage.

As the vines wriggled.

The bodies of those people visibly withered away.

Meanwhile, pale white phantoms were being forcibly pulled out from the tops of their heads.

That's a living soul!

A living, breathing human soul!

"Help...help me..."

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

Countless agonizing screams echoed through the cave.

However, because the physical body is imprisoned.

These voices can only resonate at the level of the soul.

This was heard by Zhou Yuan, a practitioner of the Divine Path.

It was like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts in hell!

"Lin! Xuan!"

Zhou Yuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He took a sudden step forward.

The stone platform beneath their feet shattered with a deafening crash.

"You beast!"

"You are not worthy to cultivate the Tao!"

You don't even deserve to be called a human being!

On the altar.

The man in the scarlet robe slowly turned around.

His face was very pale.

It was as white as paper.

But her lips were as red as blood.

A pair of narrow eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light.

Hearing Zhou Yuan's angry curses.

He wasn't angry at all.

Instead, he revealed an elegant yet insane smile.

"match?"

Lin Xuan's voice was very soft and gentle.

It possesses a morbid magnetism.

"What does 'match' mean?"

"The winner is king, the loser is a bandit."

"This vast world is inherently a place where the strong prey on the weak."

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the blood off the blade.

That was the blood of the City God.

"It tastes really good."

"As expected of a righteous god who has received incense offerings for twenty years."

"One bite is worth a thousand ordinary people."

Lin Xuan closed his eyes in blissful ecstasy.

Then it suddenly opened its eyes.

His gaze was fixed on Zhou Yuan.

"Fengzhou Tugong, Zhou Yuan?"

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"This batch of 'Myriad Spirits Blood Pill' was just a little short of being ready."

"I didn't expect that."

"God has been very kind to me."

"A local deity has been sent over, and another one..."

His gaze fell on Ma Ling'er.

A greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

"There's also a girl from the Ma family who has pure Wu clan blood."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"If we refine both of you into it too."

"I am not only able to withstand the tribulation of lightning."

"It can even directly glimpse the Great Dao of Yang God!"

boom!

Zhou Yuan's aura exploded completely.

"Keep dreaming!"

"today."

"I, this official, will act on behalf of Heaven!"

"I will slay you, you demon!"

[Xiangting Land Seal] Soars into the sky.

It grew to the size of a small mountain.

With immense power.

It slammed down hard onto the altar.

"Suppress!"

This is pure divine power crushing everything.

There's nothing fancy about it.

The goal is to break through the law with force!

Lin Xuan stood at the top of the altar, without moving an inch.

But the sarcasm at the corners of his mouth was even stronger.

"Acting on behalf of Heaven?"

"Within the territory of Pingyang."

"In this yin and evil cave."

"This seat..."

"It is the sky!"

He suddenly swung the sacrificial knife upwards.

Whoosh!

The blood pool around the altar instantly boiled.

Countless streams of blood shot into the sky.

It transformed into a scarlet curtain of blood, blocking the altar.

Boom!

The earth's imprint crashed onto the blood-red curtain.

It emitted a dull, loud thud.

That seemingly thin layer of blood was actually terrifyingly tough.

The land was half-submerged.

It was bounced back by a huge recoil force.

Zhou Yuan grunted.

I felt a surge of blood and qi in my chest.

This is the opponent's home turf.

The Yin energy is too strong.

His divine power was severely suppressed.

"Zhou Yuan, stop wasting your breath on him!"

"Just charge up and chop him down!"

Ma Ling'er gave a sharp shout.

He placed the bamboo flute in his hand to his lips.

A mournful flute melody began.

The flute music was filled with a murderous aura.

"Get out!"

"Smash that turtle shell for your great-aunt!"

Roar!

The iron-eating beast that had been following behind the two finally revealed its terrifying nature as a "celestial being".

Its originally endearing body.

Driven by the sound of the flute.

It instantly doubled in size.

The hair, which was originally black and white, now had a metallic sheen.

Especially those claws.

It became like an iron hook made of fine steel.

It gleamed with a cold light.

Boom boom boom!

Rolling forward with its strong hind legs.

It looks like a heavy armored vehicle.

With an indomitable spirit.

It crashed violently into the curtain of blood.

"You ignorant beast."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly.

He made a strange hand seal with his left hand.

He pointed at the blood pool below.

"Come out."

"My children."

"Let the guests see it."

"What is true...power?"

Gum!

Gum!

The blood pool churned violently.

Followed by.

Seven or eight terrifying figures slowly rose from the blood.

Zhou Yuan and Ma Ling'er took a closer look.

He suddenly took a breath of cold air.

That's a person.

But it can no longer be called a "person".

Each of them is over two meters tall.

All the skin on his body was peeled off.

The bright red muscle fibers are exposed.

Even more terrifying.

Their bodies were covered with various messy limbs sewn together with thick black thread.

Some of them have four arms growing from their backs.

Some of them have a large mouth growing out of their chest.

Some of them have a huge single eye on their heads.

"Servants of the Evil God!"

The "Tales of Gods and Monsters" in Zhou Yuan's mind was issuing a frantic warning.

[Objective: To modify the evil corpse (servant of an evil god)]

[Strength: Peak of the Object Manipulation Realm / Half-Step to Manifestation]

【Characteristics: Immense strength, impervious to pain, immortal and indestructible】

[Weakness: Destroy the 'Seed of Evil God' implanted within its body]

"roar!"

The seven or eight evil corpses roared in unison.

The voice was like that of a wild beast.

They were not stiff like ordinary zombies.

On the contrary, their movements were extremely fast.

Almost instantly.

He rushed up to the panda.

boom!

At the very front was a four-armed evil corpse.

All four fists were thrown out at the same time.

It slammed heavily onto her rolling belly.

The massive body of the rolling creature was actually forced back three or four steps by this attack.

Each step he took left a deep crater in the ground.

"What?!"

Ma Ling'er was terrified.

Gun Gun is a deity that the Ma family has worshipped for hundreds of years.

His skin and flesh were as tough as refined iron.

Their strength is astonishing.

They were actually defeated head-on by a monster?

"Be careful!"

"These things have been enhanced by evil magic!"

Zhou Yuan loudly reminded him.

Before he could finish speaking...

The other two evil corpses pounced on Zhou Yuan from the left and right.

A foul stench filled the air.

The claws haven't arrived yet.

Zhou Yuan could already feel a stinging sensation on his skin.

"Daytime Tour: Locking the God!"

Zhou Yuan did not retreat but instead avoided the situation.

The black and white energies swirled in his eyes.

He suddenly grabbed at the air with both hands.

Splash!

The primordial energy of heaven and earth was under his control.

In an instant, they coalesced into two thick, crimson chains.

Those were the instruments of torture used by the day-roaming god.

It is a substance specifically designed to suppress evil and malevolent forces.

The chains emerged like serpents from their holes.

In an instant, it wrapped around the necks and limbs of the two evil corpses.

"Get down on your knees!"

Zhou Yuan let out a loud shout.

Use both arms to exert force.

They wanted to flip those two monsters to the ground.

Zizizi!

Crimson chains were burned onto the evil corpse.

Puffs of blue smoke rose up.

That is the righteous yang energy burning away the evil and filth.

If it's an ordinary vengeful ghost or zombie.

They had already turned to ashes with screams by now.

But those two evil corpses.

It was as if they couldn't feel any pain at all.

They did not fall.

Instead, it opened its large mouth full of fangs.

It bit into the energy chain.

quack!

A tooth-grinding sound rang out.

Those chains were strong enough to bind the souls of nocturnal wanderers.

They actually managed to bite a crack into it!

"Those teeth..."

"Harder than my earth imprint?!"

Zhou Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.

This is the method of the Wukong Sect.

It's simply unbelievable.

These monsters are simply not something that the cultivation system of this world could create.

This is……

Extraterrestrial evil magic!

"Hehehe..."

On the altar, Lin Xuan let out a smug, strange laugh.

"Master Zhou."

"Don't bother."

"These servants were made from the corpses of eighty-one martial arts masters."

"It was then refined by fusing it with divine blood from beyond the heavens."

"Their bodies."

"It is the most powerful magic weapon."

"Even if a Yin God Realm expert came."

"They'll be torn to pieces alive!"

at this time.

Ma Ling'er's side is also in a tough battle.

Although pandas are tough and thick-skinned.

But they couldn't withstand the combined attack of the five evil corpses.

It roared repeatedly.

The bear paws were swung with great force.

Each strike sent a demonic corpse flying.

But those evil corpses had no idea what it meant to be injured.

Even if the bones are broken.

Even if his chest was dented.

As long as that "seed of the evil god" still exists.

They can get up immediately.

They continued to pounce on them like mad dogs.

"Damn it!"

"How come these things are so hard to kill?!"

Ma Ling'er was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The bamboo flute in her hand had been replaced by a peach wood sword.

The sword's blade was covered with lightning runes.

Each swing of the sword brought forth a burst of golden lightning.

Crackling sounds!

Lightning struck the evil corpse.

However, it could only slightly hinder their movements.

"Joo Won!"

"I can't hold on much longer either!"

"GunGun is entangled!"

Zhou Yuan manipulated the chains to deal with the two evil corpses.

He was quickly observing the situation.

That Lin Xuan.

I had no intention of doing it myself.

He was like a spectator.

Standing on the high platform, I watched this desperate struggle of a cornered beast.

And what's worse is...

Over time.

The rituals on the altar.

It's accelerating!

Om-!

Top of the altar.

Suddenly, a blinding red light appeared.

The red light shot straight up to the dome.

It was as if some kind of passage had been opened.

"ah!!!"

Zhang Zhengming, nailed to the altar.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream rang out.

This was the first time he had made a sound.

That was a desperate lament before the soul was completely shattered.

"not good!"

Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He saw it clearly.

Zhang Zhengming's soul.

It is dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It turned into specks of golden light.

It was greedily absorbed by that black sacrificial knife.

And then the soul dissipates.

The speed at which the souls of the thousands of people below were being extracted.

It suddenly accelerated tenfold!

Countless white dots of light.

Like moths drawn to a flame.

They surged toward the sacrificial knife.

Then through the sacrificial knife.

It was injected into Lin Xuan's body.

The aura emanating from Lin Xuan.

It started to surge wildly!

Peak of the Object Manipulation Realm...

The Realm of Manifestation...

Mid-stage of the Manifestation Realm...

That terrifying pressure.

The entire cave began to tremble.

"We can't delay any longer!"

A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

If Lin Xuan completes the final ritual.

Once he breaks through to the Yin God Realm.

It even attracted the descent of an evil god from outer space.

So today.

No one will get out of here alive!

We must interrupt him!

The core of that altar must be destroyed!

"Ling'er!"

Zhou Yuan abruptly pulled back the chains.

He leaped backward.

It landed next to Ma Ling'er.

"Help me hold off these beasts for ten breaths!"

Even if it costs me my life!

"We must block them!"

Ma Ling'er looked at Zhou Yuan's bloodshot eyes.

She didn't ask why.

They didn't even ask how to block it.

She simply bit her tongue hard until it bled.

puff!

A mouthful of essence and blood.

It was sprayed on the panda's back.

"The Ma Family Secret Technique: Invoking the Spirit!"

"Even if it costs me my life!"

"I'll even try to get you ten more breaths!"

Roar! ! !

The panda felt the stimulation of its master's essence.

His eyes instantly turned blood red.

Originally black and white fur.

A layer of blood-red flames suddenly ignited.

Its size increased dramatically again.

They actually used their bodies to force it.

They built a wall of flesh and blood.

Those seven or eight evil corpses.

They were all placed in front of him!

"Joo Won!"

"Go!!!"

Ma Ling'er bled from all seven orifices and screamed.

Zhou Yuan did not turn around.

he knows.

This is Ma Ling'er risking her life to pave the way for him.

He cannot betray this trust.

"Strange Tales of the Supernatural!"

"Deduction!"

"Find the fatal flaw in this altar!"

Zhou Yuan frantically flipped through the ancient book in his hands.

At this critical moment of life and death.

The yin energy within his body ignited without reservation.

[Deduction in progress...]

[The key point of the formation has been discovered!]

[At the bottom of the altar, three inches below the third bone pillar!]

That's a point where the earth's ley lines are afflicted by negative energy!

Smash it!

[This triggered a backlash from the earth's veins!]

"Found it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

He did not fly towards Lin Xuan.

Instead, they did the opposite.

He was like a cannonball.

They rushed towards the bottom of the altar.

"Lin Xuan!"

"You want to become an immortal?"

"I'll send you to hell today!"

Zhou Yuan raised the Earth Seal with both hands.

That was all his divine power.

That was all of his cultivation.

And the anger of the 12,000 people in Pingyang County.

All of this happens at this moment.

All of this is gathered on this small seal.

"Give me……"

"broken!!!"
