Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The chance to condense a Nascent Soul was extremely precious within the Demon Sect of the Cangfeng Realm, even for cultivators with Divinity Transformation. Fang Linghai, being one of the potential Saint Heirs, had to compete with over a dozen others within the sect. They all had to go through numerous struggles to vie for the resources to condense their Nascent Souls.

Among the candidates for Saint Heir, Fang Linghai was not the most outstanding, and he found it difficult to gain opportunities from within his sect to condense his Nascent Soul. This ten-thousand-year-old Jade Dragon Xuan Ginseng was the best resource he could find to help him achieve that goal, and naturally, he would not let it go.

"Fellow Daoist, let's divide life and death!"

Fang Linghai smiled slightly, a hint of coldness crossing his eyes. With a leap, he and the many demonic corpses beside him flew toward the direction of the Spirit Arena.

Only one person can ascend onto the Spirit Arena at a time to issue a challenge; however, these demonic corpses were refined by Fang Linghai and contained his soul aura, thus the Spirit Arena recognized them as a part of him.

As Fang Linghai swept onto the Spirit Arena, the White Ghost Emperor split its mouth into a hideous smile and plunged straight toward that Ninth Extreme Mixed Yuan demonic corpse.

With a flash of dark energy, the White Ghost Emperor appeared before that Ninth Extreme Mixed Yuan demonic corpse, and its claw reached down to grab directly at it.

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Extreme Mixed Yuan demonic corpse. Its fist, enveloped in a haze of grey-black corpse energy, smashed brutally toward the White Ghost Emperor.

Bang!

With a terrifying boom, the body of the Ninth Extreme Mixed Yuan demonic corpse shuddered slightly, while the White Ghost Emperor was blasted ten zhang away.

After being flung away, the White Ghost Emperor tapped the ground with its foot and transformed into a stream of black energy, continuing its onslaught toward the Ninth Extreme Mixed Yuan demonic corpse.

The two monstrous creatures engaged in a frenzied battle, and waves of terror mixed with deathly and corpse energies spread in all directions.

Zhao Yu clapped his hand on the Spirit Beast Bag, and the Red Emperor immediately flew out from it.

The Red Emperor opened its bloody maw wide, spewing forth Dragon Flame that could reduce a Golden Core cultivator to ashes, and launched it toward Fang Linghai.

"Golden Core level Red Flame Dragon Dog! Damn it, so he had this Third-Order Spirit Beast, no wonder he could kill Chang Xuanzhen!"

Fang Linghai's face abruptly changed. He formed hand seals, and an odd fluctuation enveloped him.

In an instant, the Dragon Flame engulfed Fang Linghai, and a corpse was burnt to ashes and scattered with the wind under the Dragon Flame's incineration.

However, Fang Linghai's true body appeared at another demonic corpse's location.

That secret technique was a top-grade secret technique, the Shift-and-Swap Death Substitution Technique, from the Demon Sect, allowing the caster to instantly switch places with a demonic corpse that they had personally refined.

This technique had its limitations, though – the caster and the demonic corpse had to maintain a certain distance; if they were too far apart, the secret technique could not be executed.

"Go!"

At Fang Linghai's command, ten demonic corpses pounced on the Red Emperor, while the remaining four corpses, along with his true body, pounced toward Zhao Yu.

If Fang Linghai could kill Zhao Yu, then powerhouses like the White Ghost Emperor and the Red Emperor would be transported outside the Spirit Arena.

"Think you can kill me? You're dreaming!"

Zhao Yu used an Earth Escape Technique and immediately burrowed into the ground, disappearing from Fang Linghai's sight.

"Earth Escape Technique?"

A hint of coldness streaked across Fang Linghai's eyes as he took out a green talisman and furiously infused it with mana.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The green talisman absorbed enough mana before flying into the air and transformed into a ten-zhang-long stake engraved with mysterious spiritual patterns. Surrounded by a green spiritual light, it hurtled toward the ground.

The wooden stake talisman was known as the Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake, designed specifically to break through all kinds of earth-based divine skills, including the Earth Escape Technique.

Once the Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake penetrated the earth, it would use the Wood Spirit Force to suppress the Earth Qi of the land. By then, Zhao Yu would have to expend a hundred times more mana to escape even an inch of ground and would ultimately perish underground from mana exhaustion.

"No good! That's a Wood-Element Treasure!!"

Zhao Yu might not have known the formidable nature of the Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake, but the moment he saw that the talisman was of wood attribute, a sense of danger surged in his heart, and he immediately tried to escape upward from underground.

The Red Emperor opened its gaping maw and spewed out a jet of crimson Dragon Flame that struck the Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake.

The Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake was instantly ignited by the Dragon Flame; the green spiritual light could only hold for an instant before being burned to ashes.

The Wood Jiao Earth-Sealing Stake, which specialized in countering all kinds of Earth System Magic and Abilities, was also susceptible to Fire System Magic and Abilities. The Red Emperor, containing a trace of the incredibly diluted True Dragon Bloodline within its demon beast physique, still possessed one of the topmost demonic fires!

Three Second-Order Superior Grade undead took advantage of the moment and opened their mouths to spew a stream of filthy deathly aura at the Red Emperor.

A ball of flame emerged around the body of the Red Emperor, easily incinerating the deathly aura. It opened its mouth to release a jet of Dragon Flame that enveloped one of the undead, burning it to a cinder.

Zhao Yu activated his mana and directly summoned the Talisman Treasure, the Flame Gourd. The talisman flew into the air, transforming into a zhang-long gourd surrounded by a layer of flame.

The mouth of the Flame Gourd flashed with fiery light, spewing out a stream of flame towards the charging undead, sweeping over them.

The undead opened their mouths, and streams of corpse qi slammed into the flames, which burned them and produced large amounts of ash and smoke.

Of course, the undead were no match for the talisman, but those streams of corpse qi also weakened the power of the Flame Gourd.

Two undead were reduced to ashes by the Flame Gourd, after which it transformed back into a talisman and flew towards Zhao Yu's hand. It would require Zhao Yu to infuse it with mana once more before it could be activated again.

If the real Flame Gourd magical treasure were wielded by a Golden Core cultivator, it could be easily activated to turn all the undead to ashes without any time lapse. However, once the power of the talisman was exhausted after one use, it needed to be reinfused with mana to be activated again, and this was its flaw.

During this moment, the three undead seized the opportunity to rush in front of Zhao Yu, one of them pulsing with corpse qi, instantly swapping places with Fang Linghai.

A terrifying blaze erupted from the mouth of the Red Emperor, sweeping towards the trio of undead.

The undead, who were attacking the Red Emperor, quickly summoned their corpse qi as a shield in front of the blazing fire the Red Emperor spat out, and they were burned to ashes one by one.

"Die!"

Fang Linghai's eyes flashed with a ruthless gleam as he directly summoned a pitch-black talisman.

The moment the pitch-black talisman was released, it glinted brightly, turning into a massive bone-white claw that viciously clawed toward Zhao Yu. As soon as the bone claw emerged, dark deathly aura surged, locking Zhao Yu in place, with a terrifying force comparable to a Golden Core Level strike.

The true form of the bone claw was the Superior Magical Treasure, the Spirit Demon Giant Claw of the Corpse Demon Sect; once activated, it sealed off the surroundings, making many escape techniques difficult to execute.

Caught at a moment when Zhao Yu had just unleashed a talisman and was unable to summon a second one, he could only activate a Top-Grade Spiritual Shield of Spiritual Weapon Level to block in front of himself.

When the bone claw struck down, the Top-Grade Spiritual Shield of Spiritual Weapon Level crumbled and dissipated.

A smirk appeared on Fang Linghai's face, "Got him!"
