123: Yang Shen
At this moment, all the cultivators were silent as cicadas in winter, even Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, these two Sons of Heaven, had their pupils contract sharply!
Two peak Yin God high cultivators, just gone like that?
How much time has passed? A hundred breaths?
No, far from it, at most, they only lasted less than thirty breaths. The two formidable Demonic Path Yin God high cultivators were already declared annihilated, and even their Yin Spirits couldn't escape, swallowed completely by those strange Puppets!
"What exactly are these Puppets? They can swallow the Qi and Blood Spirits of Body Refinement cultivators, and also the Yin Spirits of Qi Cultivation cultivators!" Pang Feifeng's expression changed repeatedly, becoming extremely heavy.
The Yin Spirit, formless and insubstantial, is the most difficult to kill!
Unless there are special Spirit Treasures, or high cultivators skilled in great thunder and fire techniques, they are hard to restrain. Otherwise, even with slightly superior strength, it is often very difficult to keep the opponent's Yin Spirit.
After all, the Yin Spirit Realm requires passing the Thunder Tribulation.
If they can even withstand the might of heaven and earth, how could they die easily!
But now, all of Lu Chen's strange Puppets seem to possess unknown, bizarre methods, swallowing Yin Spirits and Qi and Blood Spirits as if it were incredibly simple, one bite at a time.
This result simply made Pang Feifeng's scalp tingle!
Fortunately, fortunately he wasn't stubborn enough to clash with Lu Chen.
Once he clashed, he couldn't imagine what his fate would be at this moment!
He didn't know, but it would definitely be miserable!
"Killing Yin Spirits is like slaughtering chickens and dogs!"
The many Sect cultivators once again witnessed Lu Chen's terror, as well as his sinister methods that could swallow Qi and Blood Spirits and Yin Spirits, which was simply unbelievable.
The thought that this Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect dared to take the Flying Immortal Sect as his target and was courting death was ruthlessly extinguished.
With such strength, is there a problem with taking the Flying Immortal Sect as his target?
No problem, absolutely no problem.
Yang Gods are, after all, extremely rare top high cultivators, generally guarding the Sects and not easily making a move. Therefore, the Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, Lu Chen, an existence who can almost be called invincible in the Yin Spirit Realm, appears exceptionally invincible.
Who could be his opponent?
He slaughtered one Son of Heaven born with a Spirit Treasure of heaven and earth; the remaining two feared him like tigers and wolves; and the rest, even top Yin Spirits, were like chickens and dogs before him. What's wrong with him being a bit arrogant?
If they had this strength, they could be a hundred times more arrogant than Lu Chen.
"A small accident." Lu Chen waved his hand and retrieved the Dao Soldiers into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, not letting go of those two Demonic Path Yin God high cultivators either. Although their physical bodies couldn't be used to nurture Dao Soldiers, they would always carry some things with them.
Especially the demon cultivator whose entire body was shrouded in cold ghostly energy, he likely also raised ghosts, which are also good things for Dao Soldiers, so naturally they couldn't be wasted.
"Everyone, don't mind, continue." Lu Chen's words were calm, as if beheading two Yin God high cultivators was nothing to him.
Chu Xianyin no longer hesitated: "From this day forward, the Royal Family of South Chu is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect."
Lu Chen remained calm: "Regarding this matter, after returning to the Sect, I will explain it to the Sect."
The implication was that serving under the Dongming Sect naturally came with benefits, but these benefits needed to be discussed and decided by the Sect, and the Royal Family of South Chu still needed to wait patiently.
"Thank you, Lu Senior Brother, for your graciousness." Chu Xianyin bowed again.
Lu Chen nodded. This Chu Xianyin should have a favorable impression of the Dongming Sect. He didn't know about others, but to Lu Chen, Chu Xianyin was not bad.
Finally, Lu Chen's gaze fell upon the many cultivators from small and medium-sized Sects below.
Before Lu Chen could even speak, already some quick-witted cultivators shouted: "My Hanshan Sect is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect."
"Qinghe Sect is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect!"
"Xiawang Sect is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect!"
"Tiejian Sect is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect!"
"Shenwu Sect is willing to serve under the Dongming Sect!"...
Voices expressing loyalty rose one after another, while Lu Chen simply stood quietly atop the Red Dragon's head, unsure if he was listening or unmoved.
Finally, another clever Sect cultivator ascended to the sky, stopped before Lu Chen, bowed, and quietly presented a qiankun bag with lightning speed: "Traveling Envoy Lu, you have worked hard for the Dongming Sect. This is a small token, please accept it."
Lu Chen glanced at it, and calmly accepted: "Qinghe Sect, not bad."
It wasn't that he was extorting bribes, but rather a necessary procedure.
If these Sects want to follow the Dongming Sect, the Dongming Sect will have to give up resource areas, and ultimately, these Sects will benefit.
If you aren't willing to contribute anything and just want to get benefits from the Dongming Sect with a single sentence, where in the world is there such a good thing?
Moreover, not only will Lu Chen take it, but the Elders and deacons of the Dongming Sect who handle the handover afterward will also take it, and every year thereafter, these Sects will still have to pay tribute.
It's roughly equivalent to the Dongming Sect distributing resources and then sharing them with these Sects. Of course, the largest share still belongs to the Dongming Sect; these Sects can probably get about thirty percent.
These are all resource areas taken by the Dongming Sect. It's not that the Dongming Sect can't manage them, but rather that they are giving these small and medium-sized Sects a way to survive!
Next, many Sects suddenly realized and frantically sent their best hidden treasures to Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen didn't accept everything offered by every Sect. Before he came, he didn't even glance at the Sects that the Elders had already named. Additionally, he also ignored the Sects that were previously affiliated with the Flying Immortal Sect and the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven.
Just then, from the edge of the sky, a terrifying pressure surged up, like an boundless ocean rushing in, covering everything, even splitting the sky into two halves with this terrifying pressure.
Half of the sky was clear and blue, while the other half was filled with surging winds and clouds. Layers upon layers of rolling clouds pressed down, accompanying that terrifying Aura, obscuring the sky and sun, as if an invisible giant hand was manipulating the firmament.
"This is..."
Before Yunyong Mountain, the cultivators who were previously trying their best to curry favor with Lu Chen were now all terrified.
"With a single thought, heaven and earth lose color!"
"Before the person arrives, winds and clouds surge!"
"A Yang God!" Pang Feifeng's expression was grave like never before.
What is a Yang God? It is using the most supreme Yang and rigid power of heavenly thunder to wash away the Yin of the Yin Spirit, transforming into a spirit of extreme Yang. Its Divine Might is vast like the great sun, and it can easily stir the great forces of heaven and earth.
For example, cultivators starting from the Penetrating Aperture Realm need to comprehend the true meaning of heaven and earth, and even upon reaching the Yin Spirit Realm, they are still revolving around the level of true meaning.
But even if they have comprehended the true meaning, they can at most leverage some of the power of heaven and earth.
A Yang God, however, is different. A Yang God has already surpassed the level of true meaning and stepped into the level of rules.
Mastering rules is equivalent to truly mastering heaven and earth. With every movement, they can mobilize the rules of heaven and earth; calling them deities would not be an exaggeration.
Furthermore, powerful Yang Gods can even freely create rules on top of existing ones, which is almost a devastating blow to cultivators below the Yang God level.
It can be said that below the Yang God level, there is still the possibility of killing enemies across Realms, but at the Yang God Realm, it is indeed very, very difficult for that to happen again.
Even a Son of Heaven born with a Spirit Treasure of heaven and earth can at most rely on the miraculous nature of the accompanying Spirit Treasure to contend with the weakest batch of Yang Gods, but to defeat them in battle is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Why would a Yang God come here?!"
