265: Chapter 265 Has the Lord's cultivation level broken through again?

Southern Border, the back mountain of the Corpse Yin Sect.

The deepest part of the Myriad Corpse Pit.

Pale bone meal piled up like mountains, and the cold corpse qi was so dense it condensed into grey-white frost.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged atop a mountain of bones, completely naked.

The purplish-blue crystalline vine on his left leg had completely spiraled out of control, brutally crushing the flesh and blood of the left side of his body.

Thick roots pierced directly into his heart.

Accompanied by the violent thumping of the heart, they greedily siphoned the host's last bit of vitality.

Chen Mu's hands tightly held that nine-petaled, eerie green [jinsheng demon lotus].

The violent yi wood Death Qi transformed into a physical black torrent, crashing through his seven orifices and pouring into his Dantian.

Before this overbearing power, the Meridians of a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator were as fragile as paper.

They shattered inch by inch.

Blood mixed with black poisonous sludge sprayed wildly from his pores.

A shrill, beast-like death rattle rolled out of Chen Mu's throat.

It was too massive.

This top-tier spiritual item, born deep within the Gloomy Mist Demon Forest, contained Death Qi that far exceeded the endurance limit of his Physical Body.

Inside his Dantian, that tattered [Ember-Born Flower] immortal foundation was swallowing frantically.

Yet, it still couldn't digest this torrent.

Although the invisible barrier of the Purple Mansion was covered in cracks, it remained stubbornly stuck there.

Unable to cross even half a step.

His Physical Body began to collapse on a large scale.

The flesh on his right arm peeled off piece by piece, revealing the stark white bone beneath.

Death Qi surged straight into his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to completely assimilate his Divine Soul into a mindless walking corpse.

His consciousness gradually blurred.

Chen Mu's remaining right eye stared fixedly at the Void Realm; his vitality was dissipating at extreme speed.

Am I going to die?

No!

At the edge of life and death, that high-and-mighty phantom in green robes crashed through the darkness of his Sea of Consciousness without warning.

“If you can't endure it, then turn into fertilizer for that demon forest.”

The calm, cold syllables, vibrating with absolute control, exploded in Chen Mu's mind.

Old Ancestor!

The Old Ancestor is watching me!

Extreme fear was instantly ignited into a morbid frenzy.

Chen Mu abruptly lifted his head, half of which had already turned to bone.

The fingers of his remaining right arm turned into claws, stabbing fiercely into his own Dantian.

“This Disciple will never let the Old Ancestor down!”

He roared, directly grabbing that [Ember-Born Flower] that was about to burst with his hand.

Forcibly reversing his Meridians!

He used his own flesh, bones, and even his fragmented Divine Soul as fuel.

He threw them all into the immortal foundation.

Boom!

The [Ember-Born Flower] erupted with an unprecedentedly eerie purple light.

The domineering devouring power instantly increased tenfold.

That jinsheng demon lotus let out a shrill wail and was forcibly crushed into the purest Death Qi Origin.

Crack!

The indestructible Purple Mansion barrier stuck above the Dantian...

...under this irrational, suicidal impact...

...shattered completely!

The violent Purple Mansion pressure turned into physical ripples, grinding outward in a circle.

Within a hundred-foot radius, the white bones and giant rocks were instantly reduced to dust.

Hearing the commotion, Sect Master Youquan Immortal Master flickered and appeared directly at the edge of the Myriad Corpse Pit.

He stared fixedly at the figure slowly rising from the ruins of bone meal.

The originally broken Physical Body had been completely restored under the reshaping of the Purple Mansion mana.

That terrifying crystalline vine on his left leg had vanished.

It had turned into a strange, greenish-black demon mark, deeply branded on Chen Mu's forehead.

A Purple Mansion First Divine Ability!

Sect Master Youquan Immortal Master's withered hands trembled violently, and an irrepressible wild joy erupted in his eyes.

The Corpse Yin Sect had finally welcomed its fourth Purple Mansion True Person!

“Good! Good! Good!”

Sect Master Youquan Immortal Master laughed toward the sky, the pressure of his four Purple Mansion Divine Abilities causing the corpse qi in the sky to churn.

“Chen Mu, you truly did not let this seat down!”

Chen Mu turned around.

The greenish-black demon mark on his forehead flickered with a heart-palpitating Wither and Flourish Death Qi.

He looked at this Sect Master and cupped his hands in a bow.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for your grace in nurturing me!”

“That I can have today is all thanks to the Sect pouring in massive resources!”

Chen Mu's voice carried incomparable respect and gratitude.

But in the shadows where Sect Master Youquan could not see...

...a morbid frenzy burned in the depths of Chen Mu's eyes, and that frenzy was not directed at Sect Master Youquan at all.

It was directed at that indescribable figure in green robes in the void.

This was an Opportunity bestowed by the Old Ancestor; how dare this old fogey take the credit?

Once the Old Ancestor gave the command...

...he would not hesitate to drain every living person on this Azure Nether Peak into flower fertilizer!

Tens of millions of miles away, in the Thousand Reef Sea Region of the East Sea.

Inside an underground grotto.

Gu Changsheng leaned back in his chair, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

The blue-gold Wither-Bloom Magic Power mana exploded on the surface of his body, instantly grinding the stone table in front of him into dust.

Deep within his Dantian.

That shriveled wither-flourish dao seed erupted with an extremely greedy, joyful vibration.

It's here!

The mysterious connection between the sub-seed and the mother-seed turned into an invisible channel spanning the boundless Great Void.

Chen Mu's insights from breaking through to the Purple Mansion at the edge of life and death...

...his ultimate analysis of yi wood Death Qi...

...and the complete experience of forcibly tearing through the rules of heaven and earth...

...transformed into a sky full of blue rule fragments, pouring frantically into Gu Changsheng's Dantian like a reversing galaxy.

There was no Lightning Tribulation.

No life-and-death backlash.

There wasn't even a single trace of mana consumption.

The core insights of the Great Dao were ruthlessly received, stripped, and absorbed in their entirety by the wither-flourish dao seed.

On the outskirts of the grotto.

One-Eyed Shark was patrolling the Formations with several newly promoted Foundation Establishment subordinates.

Rumble!

An extremely terrifying Purple Mansion pressure erupted from the depths of the grotto without warning.

The surrounding seawater was brutally pushed aside by this pressure, forming a massive vacuum zone several miles wide.

One-Eyed Shark's legs went weak, and he knelt directly into the silt on the seabed.

His bones made an overburdened cracking sound.

“The Tower Master's cultivation broke through again?”

One-Eyed Shark gritted his teeth, his eyes full of horror.

How long has it been since he went into seclusion!

The aura on the Tower Master was ten times more terrifying than those thousand-year-old monsters entrenched in the deep sea!

Those few newly promoted subordinates were pressed flat against the ground, their breathing completely stalled.

Faith was being frantically reshaped at this moment.

Following a monster of this level, the Longevity Tower's dominance over the East Sea was definitely just around the corner!

Inside the grotto.

Gu Changsheng's knuckles lightly tapped the armrest of his chair.

This was the most domineering aspect of [Withered Meets Spring].

As long as the sub-body did not die, the mother-body could forever sit behind the scenes, unscrupulously harvesting the dao fruits of his Disciples.

The Purple Mansion Realm that Chen Mu had risked half his life for in the Southern Border...

...had become the perfect nourishment for Gu Changsheng to strengthen his dao seed.

Massive amounts of rule fragments were completely digested by the dao seed.

The blue-gold light on Gu Changsheng's body suddenly contracted inward.

The first Divine Ability, [Withered Meets Spring], underwent a qualitative transformation.

A large amount of obscure and profound information flooded into his Sea of Consciousness.

Originally, [Withered Meets Spring] could only turn him into withered wood and flee into the Great Void to survive in a certain-death situation.

It was a pure life-saving Divine Ability, lacking any means of counterattack.

But now.

After integrating that domineering Death Qi of the jinsheng demon lotus that found life within death...

...the Divine Ability was reconstructed!

[Withered Meets Spring]

[Effect: After fleeing into the Great Void and transforming into withered wood, one can forcibly lock onto the target with the most vigorous vitality within a hundred-mile radius.]

[Forcibly extract ninety percent of the target's Lifespan and vitality to reshape the original body.]

[The one extracted will have their dao foundation destroyed and turn into withered bones.]

Gu Changsheng's face twitched, letting out an extremely satisfied cold laugh.

From passive escape to active plunder.

This Divine Ability could now not only save his life but had also become a terrifying trump card to kill his enemies.

Who dared to push him into a corner...

...would have to use their life to fill the hole of his reshaped body.

After swallowing this wave of backflow, the wither-flourish dao seed grew by a full thirty percent.

The refinement of his mana rose once again.

He had taken another solid step toward the Realm of five Purple Mansion Divine Abilities.

Next, let this blade go into the quagmire of the Southern Border and stir up a storm.
