238: Chapter 238 The Nightmare Emperor's Binding Magic, Bai Fangqian's True Scheme

The night was like thick ink, cold and silent.

A cold wind swept through, stirring up boundless murderous intent and the stench of rotting corpses exposed on the wasteland of withered bones.

The night at the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons was not peaceful.

Various sinister entities or evil spirits would emerge at this time, ambushing and slaughtering unprepared creatures to feast upon them.

As for Gu Qingge and his group of three, they had not yet taken any effective action against the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons, continuing to track it from a distance to ensure they did not lose their target.

However, the scenes they had witnessed along the way were far from optimistic.

He sensed the presence of countless experts who had fallen in the deathly silence of this wasteland.

Dark, crimson blood had splattered and sprayed, covering area after area.

The scattered severed limbs and broken skeletons of white bones further highlighted the results of the brutal slaughter carried out by the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons.

Faintly, one could still hear screams and wails coming from the far distance.

The slaughter had not ended; it was still ongoing.

"Do you truly intend to subdue that corpse of the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons?" White Empress asked, her heart still lingering with fear, as she murmured in a low voice.

If she had harbored any wishful thinking before, she was now perfectly clear about the situation.

The Giant Remains of Gods and Demons was the legendary, terrifying entity sealed within the Forbidden Ground of the End.

Having broken through the Seal and appeared in the world, its endless plundering, which had caused such devastation, was simply to replenish its "nutrients" and restore the strength that had been worn away by the shackles of its imprisonment.

Previously, she had only treated such rumors as a joke, forgetting them as soon as she heard them.

After all, while it was possible to reshape a life form by drawing in corpse-evil through soaring resentment, it would ultimately be mixed with too many incongruous attributes.

Overall, its strength could not be too great.

It posed no threat to her.

However, looking at it now, her previous line of thinking was completely wrong; her understanding had even been overturned.

The Giant Remains of Gods and Demons was an existence that was completely an anomaly.

It could not only devour others but also use the flesh, blood, and Soul of other creatures to repair and evolve itself.

This was, without a doubt, the truly terrifying part!

"That is correct." Gu Qingge nodded, signaling his agreement. "If we do not seize the opportunity to plot against it now, once it truly recovers, attempting to make a move will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

"Moreover, I have a strange premonition. Within the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, this Giant Remains of Gods and Demons is, at most, an anomaly."

"It might even be brewing some deeper, more far-reaching conspiracy."

Gu Qingge had already made up his mind: once the danger in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons concluded and he successfully retrieved the women and the Imperial Blood Demon Cavalry from Bai Fangqian, he would seek a remote area to lie low and wait for the right time, first replenishing his lifespan.

Otherwise, never mind how bright the future might be, even if the chance to become an Emperor or ascend to the Immortal Realm were placed before him, it would be like a castle in the air, nothing he could scheme to attain.

Additionally, he had already retrieved some information from his mind.

There was a technique named the Nightmare Emperor Demon-Binding Technique.

It was a technique he had found after carefully searching through the heritage he had inherited from the Pill Emperor.

This technique came from the Hundred Ghost Nightmare Devil Emperor of one hundred thousand years ago.

After he died and passed away, it was obtained by the Pill Emperor, who had reversed life to be reborn, and was kept as one of his stored resources.

Although the former had the title of Emperor, he was not a peerless expert who had stepped into the Great Emperor Realm, but his strength had reached the threshold of the Third Turn of the Quasi-Emperor.

Relying on this Nightmare Emperor Demon-Binding Technique, even those at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor had suffered great losses at his hands.

Under its attack, it could break through false defenses and strike directly at the essence.

It was the absolute nemesis of all experts who carried heavy blood debts and were stained with a sea of hatred.

Just imagine, what Peak expert had never slaughtered living beings or plundered resources?

Even at the lowest level of the cultivation world, the Qi Refinement Stage, there was constant fighting over resources, status, and grudges.

The path of cultivation was about fighting, defying, seizing, and breaking shackles with force.

Without entering the Emperor Realm, one had never stood at the Peak of the mortal world.

Without seeking the path to the Immortal Realm, one could hardly find the true path to immortality.

Walking along this path, there was almost no Cultivator in the world who was not stained with slaughter.

But whether this technique could truly bind or kill the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons was completely unknown.

It was not that the technique was not powerful, but mainly because, as the user, Gu Qingge's strength was truly too low.

If nothing went wrong, he would likely be crushed and shattered by the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons with an overwhelming display of absolute power in a single encounter.

But it was, at the very least, a turning point that could be utilized.

If it truly came to a desperate situation, he might give it a try.

"What is that thing in your hand? Is it very important for our future battle against that behemoth?"

Beneath Yu Lingwu's innocent and curious gaze, a greedy desire to seize it for her own use was constantly stirring in the depths of her eyes.

The mysterious Giant Remains of Gods and Demons or whatever was not important.

Gu Qingge, at this moment, also seemed less important.

As long as she successfully seized the Blood Demon Bone Source, she was confident that her future path would be much smoother than she had anticipated.

As she spoke, a fragrant, orchid-like scent lingered around Gu Qingge's nose.

Yu Lingwu's graceful figure had involuntarily leaned in from the side.

Seeing this scene, White Empress could not help but secretly frown at Yu Lingwu's posture.

Being impatient would not get you anywhere, and it certainly wouldn't deceive a cold-hearted and ungrateful man.

Especially a man like Gu Qingge, whom she had not yet completely equated with prey in her heart.

...

"Is everything you are doing for the sake of resurrecting the Heavenly Demon Emperor?" Commander Nalan Yanyun asked.

"So, will the Master... be in danger?"

"Resurrect the Heavenly Demon Emperor? What a joke!" The corners of Bai Fangqian's eyes and brows revealed a hint of mockery, as if she had heard some utterly ridiculous absurdity.

A cold and arrogant expression appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Instead of resurrecting someone destined to be unreliable, it would be better to use his Soul to refine a Demon Corpse, build my Dao foundation, and scheme to achieve the hegemony of a lifetime."

Bai Fangqian curled her five slender, jade-like fingers on her right hand into a void grasp, and a phantom of a Teng Snake appeared like an ancient wheel of fate. She spoke of her schemes without any hesitation.

Throughout the entire process, her tone was not intense but rather as calm as water, as if everything was proceeding according to her expectations.

Firstly, she did not believe that Gu Qingge would succeed in bringing back the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons.

After all, the gap in strength was there; it could not be bridged by cunning tricks or pure luck.

Secondly, even if Gu Qingge did not succeed, she would not suffer any loss.

In her eyes, the former was merely a chess piece used to test the waters.

The Giant Remains of Gods and Demons was something she was determined to obtain.

At this very moment, Bai Fangqian decided to lie low and wait for the right opportunity.

Once there was any unusual movement in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons that stirred up the entire battlefield's situation, when the time was ripe, it would be the moment for her to reap the fruits of victory.

"Using the Divine Soul of the Heavenly Demon Emperor as the core and the Giant Remains of Gods and Demons as the supplement, the Heavenly Demon Corpse Puppet refined from them will truly be extremely interesting!"

Bai Fangqian's beautiful eyes blinked as she gazed at the stars in the distant heavens. The last trace of any thought that tugged at her heartstrings vanished, turning into boundless, inexhaustible killing hatred.
