143: Chapter 140: The Demon Cultivator is Defeated, and the Dark River Changes

Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Demonic Cultivators Retreat, Mingchuan Anomaly

“Damn it, come back now, or I’ll execute all of you!”

But just as he was distracted giving orders, Emperor Yang, who was clashing with him, seized the opportunity!

“You dare to be distracted while fighting me?!”

Emperor Yang roared, his body expanding inch by inch. The Concept of Burning Heaven materialized, breaking free like a meteor and crashing into the Heavenly Fiend True Body!

“Oh no!?”

The Demonic Path Soul Transformation Cultivator’s face suddenly changed.

He was currently unable to gather power because part of the Formation had collapsed, so he could only rely on his own magical power.

However, if it came down to a true cultivation battle, he certainly couldn’t defeat Emperor Yang.

At this moment, seizing the opportunity, Emperor Yang crashed into the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Aspect, fighting with all his might regardless of the cost!

And the next moment, immeasurable light and immeasurable heat erupted from within that Heavenly Fiend Dharma Aspect!

In an instant, the majestic Dharma Aspect completely collapsed, and countless sinister and evil Qi scattered in all directions, but before they could fully dissipate, they were entangled and burned by streaks of flame.

At the same time, a figure plummeted from the Heavenly Fiend Dharma Aspect, its aura weakened—it was the Demonic Path Soul Transformation Cultivator who had suffered a backlash!

“Die!”

Emperor Yang extracted the remaining power in his body, transforming into a rainbow light, raised his hand, and slammed a palm onto the Demonic Path Soul Transformation Cultivator’s forehead!

“Boom!”

True Fire surged, instantly engulfing the Demonic Path Cultivator, even burning his Primordial Spirit to ashes.

A confrontation between powerful Cultivators, if there were no external factors, should have been a prolonged battle.

However, when the external power they relied on collapsed, their own flaws were exposed, and under a pincer attack, the Soul Transformation Cultivator was defeated so quickly!

Meanwhile, with the Formation broken and the leader defeated, the Demonic Path Cultivators, who had originally held the upper hand, instantly collapsed, unable to even maintain their basic Formation, and retreated in a panic!

Demonic Path Cultivators inherently prioritize themselves. If they were winning, they could barely maintain a unified suppression.

But once the tide turned, they would scatter and flee for their lives!

“We finally won!”

Emperor Yang let out a bitter laugh. While he had swiftly killed a Soul Transformation Cultivator, he had also paid a corresponding price.

“Pursue them! Don’t let a single one escape!”

Having been suppressed for a long time, the numerous Disciples of Qiankun Taoist Sect had a Suffocation in their hearts. Seeing the enemy collapse, they naturally wanted to strike them while they were down!

A single victorious pursuit allowed them to reclaim five or six tenths of the territory they had previously lost.

During this time, they also captured Disciples from the Blood Refinement Demon Sect and Illusion Demon Valley, who were responsible for the collapse of this battle.

Both the ordinary Disciples and Emperor Yang were extremely curious about this.

How could the Demonic Path Cultivators, in a situation where they were clearly winning, just hand over victory?

“It, it’s because something went wrong inside Tianmo Domain.”

“Qiankun Daozi swept through the Blood Refinement Demon Sect and Illusion Demon Valley.”

“We were worried about being used as cannon fodder by those above, so we retreated.”

When they heard the Demonic Path Cultivators’ explanation, even Sect Master Emperor Yang was stunned.

“Daozi, he, he actually stirred up such a huge commotion?”

For a moment, joy overwhelmed Emperor Yang, as well as the various Elders and Disciples of Qiankun Taoist Sect!

“Great news, this is truly great news!”

“Indeed, Daozi possesses truly great Divine Ability! He annihilated a Soul Transformation Sect with a Nascent Soul!”

“The Demonic Path can go, and we can go too! Now they’ll get a taste of what it’s like to have their home base breached!”

“Immediately inform the entire Sect and spread the news!”

After the great battle began, Emperor Yang and the other Elders had never been so joyful.

When Gu Shengge spoke of venturing deep into Tianmo Domain, they only wished for the Sect’s hope to return safely.

They never expected that a golden talent would shine anywhere, even in Tianmo Domain, their Qiankun Daozi could still stir up the winds and clouds!

...

And just as Qiankun Taoist Sect was celebrating its great victory and preparing for a counterattack,

Disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect had already arrived in Mingchuan Prefecture.

“This, this is Mingchuan Prefecture, but it seems different from the description?”

Lu Feng, the leader, frowned, recalling the intelligence given by his Master, Zhenyue Sword Master, and his brow furrowed slightly.

“It is said that the spiritual prefecture of Qiongsang Domain, adjacent to the Sky Burial Underworld, is sparsely populated and has thin Spiritual Qi compared to other spiritual prefectures in Qiong Sang, making it practically a land for Mortals.”

“But no matter how sparsely populated it is, why is it permeated with a Death Qi?”

For a moment, the six members of Lingxiao Sword Sect felt a chill down their spines.

Suddenly, someone in the team spoke: “This place looks like an ominous place. Do we really need to find some stone statues?”

“Exactly, why don’t we just pretend to look, and then...”

But before the words could fall, Lu Feng cut him off sharply.

“This is something Master personally instructed. Do you dare to be negligent?”

With that sharp rebuke, the few Disciples immediately dared not speak.

“Yes, Junior Brother knows his mistake.”

“Please, Senior Brother, make the decision!”

After scolding his Junior Brother, Lu Feng pondered to himself.

“This matter is not just Master’s concern; it also involves the Nine Realms Alliance.”

“According to Master, that is our fallback, so this matter must be handled well.”

Lu Feng was one of Zhenyue Sword Master’s trusted Disciples, and he understood a thing or two about this matter.

“An anomaly must have a cause. Perhaps, the Death Qi spreading here is precisely because of this.”

After a moment of thought, the Disciple’s mind stirred, and his Divine Thought expanded, instantly locking onto a place where the Death Qi was extremely Rich.

“You, follow me to scout ahead.”

“Yes, Senior Brother!”

The Disciples nodded, then obediently followed behind Lu Feng.

Six figures flew on their swords, and in just a moment, they had covered hundreds of miles.

However, when Lu Feng arrived at the place with dense Death Qi, he couldn’t help but be startled!

It was a valley, sunken downwards in the middle, spanning several thousand miles.

However, within this valley, lay countless corpses, reduced to mere skin and bones!

The scene before them was a desolate land stretching for a thousand miles!

These corpses included both Human Race and beast race, their faces withered, their postures varied, as if they had endured immense suffering before death, struggling frantically.

But no matter how they struggled in their dying moments, they ultimately became just another inconspicuous corpse in this pit of bones.

“This, just how many living beings are there?”

The few Sword Sect Disciples immediately trembled. Even without Divine Thought, they could see the countless pale skeletal remains.

And the number of corpses was definitely no less than a million!

“Gulp!”

Lu Feng swallowed, his hand trembling as he suddenly grabbed a corpse.

This corpse appeared to have been an ordinary man in life, with no trace of Spiritual Qi remaining.

Lu Feng examined the corpse for a moment, and his expression changed again.

“These, these corpses, were drained of their vitality while alive, turning into mummies.”

“What exactly is this thing that has absorbed the vitality of millions, even tens of millions, of living beings?”

Listening to him speak, the five Disciples behind him grew even more terrified.

Could it be that a great demon was lurking here?

If it hadn’t left yet, wouldn’t the six of them be in danger?

If only they had known this place was so dangerous, they wouldn’t have accepted this mission!
