274: Dragon Corpse Training, Six Paths of Purgatory

The Void Realm was filled with various Spirit Lights, and Sword Qi raged for dozens of miles.

Battles were breaking out everywhere, extremely chaotic, now even comparable to the battlefield outside Tianhe City.

The difference, however, was that Qingxuan Sect was now facing the other Three Sects.

Casualties were not many, as the focus was mainly on containment.

Xie An glanced at the other four people on the spirit boat and then sent a sound transmission to Chen Daoyuan.

But Chen Daoyuan still did not respond.

Xie An, as if he had expected this, didn't care and waved his large hand.

As Spirit Light flashed, several Spirit Puppets instantly appeared around the war treasure ship.

Innumerable Spirit Stones flew from Xie An's hand and fell into each of the war treasure ship's spirit platforms.

All eleven spirit platforms were filled instantly.

The remaining empty spirit platform was the one closest to Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming understood without needing to be told. He immediately went to the empty spirit platform, pressed his right hand down, drawing True Essence from High-Grade Spirit Stones while activating the war treasure ship.

He glimpsed at the other four from the corner of his eye; their gazes were clearly not as before, likely possessed by the Spirit Communication Sword.

The four were currently halted by the clash of Chen Daoyuan's and Wan Changqing's Sword Intent, but in the next moment, one of them looked towards Lin Shiming.

"Oh!"

A cry of surprise also affected the other three. In a blink of an eye, the four walked towards him, and after surveying him, they stopped not far from him.

"Boy, what is your relationship with Senior Grass?"

"Yan Yang?"

A series of ancient voices suddenly echoed in his mind.

Lin Shiming looked up but did not respond at all.

He continued to transmit True Essence on his own.

Sure enough, the four people's gazes just now instantly drew Xie An's attention.

However, seeing Lin Shiming continue to input True Essence and ignore them, he turned his attention back to the encirclement of Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

They had to break out. The Spirit Communication Sword was too significant; they absolutely could not tolerate any variables. Otherwise, even if he reached Purple Mansion, there would be no place for him in the entire Eastern Domain.

Once activated, the war treasure ship was like an awakened ancient exotic beast. The massive spirit boat immediately emitted dazzling light.

Waves of spiritual might comparable to a Purple Mansion Great Demon emanated, and even Chen Daoyuan and Wan Changqing, who were Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivators, dared not challenge its sharpness.

Meanwhile, Chen Daoyuan, seizing this opportunity, pulled away from Wan Changqing, fully retracting his Sword Qi.

Stepping onto the spirit boat, he stood with his sword, like a Sword God, overlooking the land.

"Go!"

The war treasure ship emitted endless Spirit Light, and numerous Spirit Formations appeared on its surface. Countless Spirit Light Swords floated around the war treasure ship.

As soon as Chen Daoyuan gave the order, it would be like a Purple Mansion Sword Cultivator striking in anger.

It sped along, unstoppable by anyone.

This spirit boat was far more valuable and powerful than Lin Shiming's.

The covered Tier 4 great killing Formation was even a Sword Dao killing Formation, whose lethality was definitely among the top of all Tier 4 treasure boats.

Even the Cultivators of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who formed the Sword Formation, had to clear a path.

"Chen Daoyuan, do you think only you have a war treasure ship?" Wan Changqing roared. As he made a hand seal, a war treasure ship of similar size also appeared in the sky.

It emitted equally terrifying spiritual might.

Today, he must make Chen Daoyuan stay. If Qingxuan Sect's Tianjian Peak acquired the Spirit Communication Sword,

then Immortal Master Tianjian and Immortal Master Xuanjian would be invincible in the Sword Cultivator Domain.

Unless their Ten Thousand Swords Sect found a Magic Treasure Flying Sword with similar spirituality,

otherwise, their Ten Thousand Swords Sect would only become a joke in front of Qingxuan Sect!

The two war treasure ships sped towards the distance, one after the other.

However, at this moment, a terrifying Dragon roar echoed.

The next moment, two Tier 4 Yao Beast Corpse cultivators, plus one Tier 4 Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator, rushed from all directions and slapped the war treasure ship with a claw. With a thunderous boom, the entire treasure ship was forcefully knocked back by that Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator.

Lin Shiming's True Essence instantly became chaotic, and he spat out blood.

He stared ahead with wide eyes, disbelieving.

Before him were not only three Tier 4 Purple Mansion Corpse cultivators but also dense, countless Late Tier 3 Corpse cultivators. Of course, the most terrifying was the Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator that had sent them flying.

This Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator was over ten zhang long, immeasurably larger than the previous Taiqing Purple Jade Python. Its entire body was covered in barbs, incredibly menacing, with two claws on its belly. Its fierce might was overwhelming, and Lin Shiming felt a dizzying sensation just by looking at it for a few more moments.

Not only that, most of the Yao Beasts from Spirit Beast Sect in the distance all began to cower uneasily!

They started to become extremely panicked.

He dared not imagine the strength of this Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator, nor did he know which Corpse Refinement Sect Cultivator's Corpse Cultivator this was, capable of controlling a Tier 4 Spirit Corpse with a Foundation Establishment cultivation.

However, in the next moment, he realized that this Tier 4 Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator absolutely did not belong to those Foundation Establishment Disciples, but was likely a Clone of some Immortal Master or Daoist!

Besides the Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator, Lin Shiming was equally shocked by the Corpse Refinement Sect's grand display.

He even suspected that this group from Corpse Refinement Sect hadn't focused on treasure hunting at all. These past few days, they had been endlessly slaughtering Yao Beasts and refining Corpse cultivators.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many Late Tier 3 Corpse cultivators. One should know that even during the great battle in Tianhe City, Corpse Refinement Sect did not have this many Corpse cultivators.

He and Lin Xianzhi had also searched for many Yao Beasts, but they only managed to control four or five, and they had to be careful of Purple Mansion Great Demons.

Behind the Corpse cultivators were the many Cultivators of Corpse Refinement Sect, numbering over a hundred.

They completely blocked the war treasure ship's path.

Xie An also spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, the war treasure ship being struck like that had caused a shockwave, and as the main control Cultivator, he had also suffered minor injuries.

Even one of the Spirit Puppets was directly cracked by that claw.

Xie An had no choice but to take out several more Spirit Puppets to replace them.

Only then did the spirit boat's Spirit Light remain undiminished.

Chen Daoyuan's expression was also extremely grim. They hadn't expected that Corpse Refinement Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect weren't delayed, but were prepared to ambush their main force here!

Chen Daoyuan pointed in another direction, but then black mist suddenly began to rise all around.

Like an inverted black curtain, it rose in layers, connecting with the sky.

In front of the black curtain, Heavenly Demon Banners stood tall, waving in the wind, with Devilish Qi surging.

These Heavenly Demon Banners formed a circle, numbering exactly thirty-five, completely enveloping the entire area around Ten Thousand Swords Graveyard.

On the Devil Banners, Devil Heads surged, their numbers impossible to count, appearing as a dark, oppressive mass. Most were Yao Beast Devil Head spirits, each terrifying beyond measure!.

Moreover, each Devil Head spirit had extremely high Devilish Qi, with several of them being particularly terrifying, reaching the Tier 4 level.

They were also Tier 4 Purple Mansion Devil Heads.

Lin Shiming's unease grew even stronger. He hadn't expected to be drawn into the conflict of these powerful beings so quickly.

"You discovered us quite early!" A white-haired youth appeared at the end of the Devil Banners.

In his hand, a smaller Devil Banner controlled the entire situation.

It was also the last of the thirty-six Heavenly Demon Banners.

As soon as this

banner fell, the Formation would be complete.

These Devil Cultivators and Corpse cultivators had clearly arrived near Ten Thousand Swords Graveyard long ago, but for some reason, they weren't detected by Divine Sense, and they had already set up thirty-five Heavenly Demon Banners.

If he hadn't asked Xie An to flee in advance, perhaps everyone would still be unaware.

And as this youth appeared, Chen Daoyuan, Zhao Wuji, and others all came forward.

However, recalling all the Cultivators of Corpse Refinement Sect, they had never seen such a person.

Wan Changqing, Huang Yu, Ying Hongyue, and the Cultivators of the Three Sects now put aside their previous differences, staring at the Corpse Refinement Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect members.

Infighting among the Righteous Path would occur, but once facing a Devil Sect, the various Sects would still put aside their differences.

However, Huang Yu, Ying Hongyue, and Wan Changqing found that they still had never seen this white-haired youth.

But upon closer inspection, the white-haired youth's cultivation was slowly rising, and in a blink of an eye, a Purple Mansion aura swept through the area.

"Old Devil Liuhe, you're really willing!" Zhao Wuji and the younger Cultivators didn't recognize him, but at this moment, an old man next to Zhao Wuji stepped forward.

It was the person Lin Shiming hadn't understood before.

"Qinglin, I didn't expect it to be you? Where are Tianjian, Xuanjian, and Divine Machine? Come out together, too?" The person called Old Devil Liuhe also spoke openly.

"Forget it, whether you come or not, whether you appear or not, it's all the same. I'll refine all of you. Your Qingxuan Sect dared to scheme against our Devil Sect, so you should be prepared to be refined into Devil Heads by us!" Old Devil Liuhe licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty expression.

"We don't need to know your schemes, because you are all prey!"

With a wave of Old Devil Liuhe's hand, the small black banner in his hand had rotated to its extreme.

The next moment, the thirty-five Heavenly Demon Banners surrounding them suddenly converged, resonating with it.

The last Heavenly Demon Banner rose to the sky.

It transformed into a colossal Heavenly Devil Cage.

Countless Devil Head spirits roared wantonly in the high sky, baring huge fangs at everyone.

For a moment, it was like a Hell on earth.

Lin Shiming, seeing Old Devil Liuhe close the Formation, felt like cursing at this moment.

He had finally received a warning and planned to escape early, but the Corpse Refinement Sect members had closed off the exit.

Now, this so-called Immortal Master Qinglin's Clone was actually chatting with the enemy.

He had idly missed a good opportunity.

However, seeing the multitude of Corpse cultivators from Corpse Refinement Sect, he couldn't help but frown.

With so many Corpse cultivators, they probably wouldn't be able to force their way out quickly.

"Tianshou, Shenfu, if you don't want to die, come out together! The Six Paths Hell Formation has just been activated, and this is its weakest moment!" Immortal Master Qinglin's Clone suddenly roared loudly.

As he roared, his body suddenly charged forward.

A monstrous surge of blood Qi shot into the sky. At this moment, it seemed to everyone that what was displayed before them was not a Cultivator, but a Purple Mansion Great Demon.

Countless True Essence erupted, forming an even larger True Essence phantom around his body.

It was a Body Cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm!

And as Immortal Master Qinglin's Clone charged out, from the Spirit Beast Sect's side, a white tiger suddenly rushed out from Huang Yu's hand, which was also a Tier 4 Purple Mansion Great Demon.

"Beware of Old Monster Tianshi, he is attached to that Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator!" The white tiger spoke human words.

It was indeed the Clone formed by a wisp of Immortal Master Tianshou's soul!

And from Ying Hongyue's hand, a Spirit Talisman flew out, transforming into the figure of an old Daoist with an ethereal demeanor. He held a talisman brush.

He drew three strokes in the air, forming a sword with each stroke, and his words brought forth the Dao!

He fiercely charged towards Immortal Master Liuhe's Clone.

The three of them now simultaneously displayed the strength of Purple Mansion Cultivators. Not only that, Qingxuan Sect brought out four war treasure ships.

And Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect each brought out two war treasure ships.

For a time, the terrifying True Essence instantly multiplied several times over.

The number of Purple Mansion combatants on this side also reached thirteen!

All of them charged towards Immortal Master Liuhe.

Lin Shiming was also inside the war treasure ship at this moment.

At this moment, he felt particularly insignificant; the aftershock of any single combatant's power could put him to death.

Once Purple Mansion combat power emerged, any Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be overshadowed.

Especially the Purple Mansion combat power displayed by these Immortal Master Clones, which was terrifying to the extreme, their strength definitely not merely Early Violet Palace Stage.

And one must know that these Cultivators were originally Late Tier 3, only forcibly elevated through various means.

For Lin Shiming, the only good thing was that he was also inside the war treasure ship, and it was a war treasure ship with twelve spirit platforms.

However, this was still not enough to make him feel safe.

A crimson Spirit Sword, unnoticed by anyone, emerged from his spirit platform and landed on his third spirit platform.

It was the Yan Yang Magic Treasure that Lin Xianzhi had pulled out.

And as Yan Yang appeared on his spirit platform,

the voices of the other four Spirit Communication Swords once again echoed in his mind.

"Yan Yang, aren't you unyielding?"

"Yan Yang, why do you help these Cultivators?"

... Lin Shiming cast all these sound transmissions to the back of his mind, not looking at the four.

Apparently, these four also thought that his spirituality had been erased, and Yan Yang was just pretending.

But he couldn't refute, and he was even more worried that Xie An and Chen Daoyuan were paying too much attention to him at the moment.

In this kind of battle, he felt it was quite good to be a Cultivator who supplied True Essence!

The less attention he received, the more secure he felt.

One should know that at this moment, with the appearance of the war treasure ship, countless Immortal Masters were paying attention here.

And who knew how many hidden Immortal Master Clones there still were.

And at this moment, Yan Yang, within his spirit platform, was incredibly restless.

It continuously absorbed his True Essence, and flames of Sword Qi swept through his entire body.

"Boy, with your three spirit platforms, your True Essence should be enough, right? These juniors actually dare to discuss me!"

"Senior Yan Yang, please be a bit more discreet at this time!"

Lin Shiming now wished he could put Yan Yang back into the Grotto-heaven World.

And while Lin Shiming was anxious, Immortal Master Tianshi, who had transformed into the Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator, along with the remaining two Purple Mansion Corpse cultivators and numerous other Corpse cultivators, blocked the path in front of Immortal Master Liuhe's Clone.

Meanwhile, the Devil Heads and Devil Souls in the sky, like dark clouds pressing down, all swooped down.

Leading them was a massive Middle Tier 4 Devil Soul Bat, which was the first to charge towards the crowd.

Boom!

Terrifying Spirit Light and dark light intertwined, forming waves of Qi that destroyed everything.

Several slightly inferior war treasure ships were instantly blasted away, and countless Tier 3 Corpse cultivators turned to dust under the aftershock.

Only a few great Immortal Master Clones could remain standing, each defending themselves.

Even the other Tier 4 Corpse cultivators and Devil Souls all retreated.

But then, the Flood Dragon Corpse Cultivator, terrifying beyond measure, stood alone in front of Immortal Master Liuhe's Clone, single-handedly fending off three Immortal Masters!

At this moment, Immortal Master Liuhe's Clone let out a loud laugh, and his body vanished from its original spot.

And in the distance, from six directions, six Devil Heads appeared.

They were the Asura Dao Devil Head, Human Dao Devil Head, Hungry Ghost Dao Devil Head, Animal Dao Devil Head, Heavenly Dao Devil Head, and Hell Dao Devil Head.

The Six Paths Hell, complete!
