364: Chapter 364 Those who violate the law shall die
A-Gu took a step forward with his right foot.
Visible ripples spread across the Void Realm.
The mountains and rivers below receded at high speed.
The natural chasm that had trapped countless Cultivators for thousands of years was now nothing more than a mud puddle to be crossed at will under his feet.
The Far North Abyss.
The year-round, never-melting blizzard was forcibly halted by an even more terrifying pressure.
A-Gu hovered directly above the abyss.
His garment fluttered violently in the deathly cold air.
Below lay ten thousand years of black ice, a hundred zhang thick.
Beneath the black ice, scarlet blood-colored Formation patterns were densely interwoven, sealing the entire bottom of the abyss tight.
Sect Master Gu Sha slumped in the center of the blood-colored altar, his shriveled chest heaving violently, his upper and lower jaws clattering uncontrollably.
He stared fixedly at the figure in gray above.
Extreme trembling crawled rapidly up his spine, freezing every drop of black blood.
"Activate the Formation! Throw all the blood slaves in!"
Sect Master Gu Sha shrieked, his voice cracking.
Hundreds of Blood Robe Sect disciples were forcibly pushed to the edge of the altar.
Before they could even beg for mercy, the Formation patterns beneath their feet instantly erupted with a terrifying suction force.
Their flesh withered, their essence blood drained.
Hundreds of desiccated corpses toppled straight to the ground.
A massive amount of blood Qi poured into the Formation.
The scarlet light screen surged dozens of zhang, transforming into an inverted giant blood-colored bowl, shielding the altar in its deepest center.
A-Gu looked down at this comical struggle.
Inside his Dantian, the cyan immortal foundation, interwoven with dark gold Dao patterns, rotated slowly.
He raised his right foot.
Aiming at the blood-colored light screen below, he stepped down decisively.
Boom!
Cyan-black Qi poured out from his heel.
It transformed into a giant pillar supporting the heavens, smashing violently onto the thick, ten-thousand-year-old black ice.
The hundred-zhang-thick ice layer couldn't even hold for half a breath.
It crumbled inch by inch, exploding into countless bottomless ravines.
The violent shockwave followed downward, slamming fiercely into the scarlet light screen.
Crack.
The Sect-protecting Formation, claimed to be able to withstand the full-force bombardment of a Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment for ten days and ten nights, let out a crisp wail.
Large spiderweb-like cracks exploded across the surface of the light screen.
The dozens of Formation Flags at the array eye snapped in half all at once.
"Block it! Block it for this Seat!"
Sect Master Gu Sha frantically slashed open both his wrists.
Black blood poured onto the core of the altar as if it were worthless.
A-Gu slowly raised his right hand.
With fingers spread, he aimed across the air at the tottering Formation below.
The cyan-black mark in the center of his immortal foundation erupted with blinding light.
"Break."
A single syllable was squeezed from his throat.
A-Gu clenched his five fingers abruptly.
Hundreds upon thousands of cyan-black thorns, as thick as a human thigh, suddenly emerged from the Void Realm.
The surface of the thorns was covered in dark red barbs, directly ignoring physical defenses, and they stabbed fiercely into the cracks of the scarlet light screen.
The barbs writhed frantically.
The massive amount of blood Qi contained within the Formation was forcibly extracted by the thorns in a clean and swift manner.
The originally scarlet light screen became dim and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bang!
The Formation shattered completely.
The violent backlash swept through the entire bottom of the abyss.
The stone pillars around the altar collapsed one after another.
The remaining Blood Robe Sect disciples were blown away by the air wave, slamming heavily against the hard rock walls, their bones broken and tendons snapped.
A-Gu transformed into a streak of cyan-black light, falling straight toward the altar.
"I will fight you to the death!"
Sect Master Gu Sha fell into total madness.
He ripped the life-bound bone string from his chest.
Eighteen prayer beads, polished from Cultivator skulls, soared into the sky.
Each skull spat out black resentment so thick it could not be dissolved.
The resentment intertwined, transforming into a white bone phantom dozens of zhang high.
The phantom opened its bloody maw, carrying the vicious curses of ten million living beings, and lunged directly at the falling A-Gu.
This was Sect Master Gu Sha's ultimate killing move.
If one were tainted by even a trace, their Dao foundation would rot, and their sanity would descend into madness.
A-Gu did not dodge or evade.
His falling speed instead increased once more.
He formed a strange Dharma seal with one hand.
His right arm instantly shed the disguise of a flesh-and-blood body, transforming into a segment of dead, withered wood.
The withered wood arm reached straight into the giant mouth of the white bone phantom.
Pure Death Qi spread rapidly along the withered wood arm.
The white bone phantom let out a shriek of extreme misery.
The ten million strands of resentment that composed the phantom were, the moment they touched a higher dimension, cleanly assimilated and crushed.
The surface of the eighteen skull prayer beads became covered in cyan-black wood grain, and with a few crisp cracking sounds, they exploded directly in mid-air into a sky full of bone powder.
Sect Master Gu Sha spat out a large mouthful of black blood.
His life-bound Magical Artifact was destroyed, and his aura instantly withered to the extreme.
He completely lost the courage to resist.
He slammed both hands onto the ground, attempting to cast a Blood Escape technique to drill into the earth veins and escape.
A ball of blood light had just lit up.
A-Gu's feet slammed heavily onto the center of the altar.
The hard blood-patterned stone slabs shattered into pieces.
The violent impact force forcibly shook Sect Master Gu Sha right out from the underground.
Sect Master Gu Sha forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, waving his hands repeatedly.
Dozens of bone cones, quenched in blood-melting poison, shot out, sealing off all of A-Gu's escape routes.
A-Gu had no intention of dodging at all.
He took a step forward.
He allowed those bone cones, which were enough to poison a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator to death, to nail into his chest.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bone cones couldn't even pierce through his protective True Qi; they were directly deflected by a layer of flowing cyan-black halo, falling to the ground and shattering into powder.
A Physical Body forged by an immortal foundation had long since transcended the toxicological understanding of this cave heaven.
Sect Master Gu Sha fell heavily to the edge of the altar.
He struggled, wanting to crawl up.
A palm, like cyan jade, cleanly and swiftly clamped around his throat.
A-Gu exerted strength with one arm, lifting Sect Master Gu Sha into the air.
"A-Gu... you cannot kill me..."
Sect Master Gu Sha kicked his legs wildly, his hands desperately prying at that iron-clamp-like palm.
"Back then, you were also..."
Sect Master Gu Sha squeezed broken syllables from his throat, attempting to use events from a thousand years ago to shake the other's mind.
A-Gu was expressionless.
That period of struggling in the mud had long since been thoroughly washed away by the fortune within the Lightning Tribulation.
He couldn't even be bothered to open his mouth to respond with a single word.
The five fingers clamping his throat tightened abruptly.
Crack.
Sect Master Gu Sha's neck bone was cleanly and swiftly crushed.
His head tilted limply to one side.
But such Devil Heads had extremely tenacious vitality.
As long as the Dantian was not destroyed, even if the Physical Body was damaged, they could borrow a corpse to return to life.
A flash of blood light suddenly lit up inside Sect Master Gu Sha's Dantian.
His Primordial Spirit, carrying his remaining True Qi, attempted to self-destruct his embryonic immortal foundation, dragging A-Gu to his death.
A-Gu let out a cold snort.
His left hand, with fingers joined like a blade, violently stabbed through Sect Master Gu Sha's Dantian.
Cyan-black Death Qi poured out frantically along his fingertips, directly forcibly freezing that ball of blood light attempting to self-destruct.
"No~!"
Sect Master Gu Sha's Primordial Spirit let out a final, desperate wail.
The cyan-black thorns on A-Gu's right arm burst through his skin.
Dozens of vine-like thorns covered in barbs drilled through the wound into Sect Master Gu Sha's limbs and bones.
Devour activated.
Sect Master Gu Sha's shriveled shell weathered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The essence blood he had sucked over a thousand years, the cultivation he had plundered, and even that sinister Soul, were all cleanly and swiftly drained and squeezed dry by the thorns.
A pile of grayish-white powder spilled from between A-Gu's fingers.
It drifted and scattered with the wind among the ruins of the altar.
A generation of Devil Head was thus completely erased from this world.
Not even a trace of a chance for Reincarnation was left behind.
A-Gu slowly withdrew his left hand.
The thorns retracted back into his body, and his cyan jade skin returned to normal.
He looked around.
The bottom of the abyss was deathly silent.
The remaining Blood Robe Sect disciples lay in the piles of rubble, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Their worldviews were shaken, their stances tilted instantly, and the scales of interest were completely overturned.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the miserable sight of their own Sect Leader being unilaterally crushed.
That proud Blood Fiend Formation and the ten million resentful Souls had vanished into thin air before that man in gray without even making a sound.
The absolute chasm in martial power had brutally destroyed all their will to resist.
A Blood Robe Sect Elder crawled out of the ruins.
His knees went weak, and he knocked his head heavily on the broken stone slabs.
"We are willing to serve the Tianxing Sect as our master! We beg the Old Ancestor to grant us a path to survive!"
With someone leading, the remaining disciples followed suit.
The dull thuds of kowtowing merged into one at the bottom of the abyss.
A-Gu didn't spare them another glance.
He raised his right hand.
In his palm lay a blood-colored crystal dug out from Sect Master Gu Sha's Dantian.
This was the crystallization of Sect Master Gu Sha's foundation.
Although it was extremely impure, the energy it contained was immense.
A-Gu exerted force with his five fingers.
He crushed the blood-colored crystal directly.
Violent energy instantly overflowed.
Before it could disperse, it was completely swallowed by a cyan-black vortex that appeared out of thin air.
The Wither and Flourish true intent operated frantically, cleanly and swiftly eliminating and burning away those sinister Impurities.
The purest Origin of spiritual power poured back into his Dantian along his Meridians.
The dark gold Dao patterns on the surface of his immortal foundation lit up again.
His cultivation, which had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Spirit Refining stage, quickly stabilized under the replenishment of this massive energy.
A-Gu closed his eyes, feeling the vast magical power surging within his body.
A thousand-year deadlock broken in an instant.
The ceiling of this cave heaven had finally been pierced through by his own hands.
But this was not enough.
Spirit Refining was merely just pushing open that door.
A-Gu opened his eyes abruptly.
A glint of cyan and black flashed in the depths of his pupils.
He turned and walked toward the edge of the altar.
Cyan-black vines broke through the soil beneath his feet again, lifting his body as he slowly ascended.
The extremely cold air currents at the bottom of the abyss were automatically pushed away by the Law around his body.
"Within three days, seal the mountain and lock the Meridians."
A-Gu's voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the ears of every Blood Robe Sect disciple kneeling on the ground.
"Those who disobey, die."
