  ……

  The golden corpse with a silver body, numb to pain, was flayed and had its flesh scraped off by the whip of the Ten Thousand Spirits. Yet, its power remained unabated, as it somersaulted in mid-air, its razor-sharp claws, shrouded in an aura of evil energy, mercilessly swiped at Chen Mo's scalp.

  Chen Mo's scalp was numb from being entangled with the silver corpse, and if he were to be caught, his brains would certainly burst.

  A critical moment when the fate is decided by a single move.

  Xiao Ba sprang up, tucking in his limbs and head, the hard turtle shell transforming into an impenetrable shield to meet the sharp black claws.

  Sneak away

  The sharp claws scraped out a trail of dark blue sparks on the turtle's back, and the sharp claws instantly broke into several sections, crumbling and falling off.

  The golden light shook the silver corpse with its counter-shock force, causing it to stop moving.

  Mulingwei was also quick, the mysterious energy condensed on the Wanling whip, and the rose burst open, with denser thorns, tightly entwining the golden silver corpse like a spirit snake. The thorns pierced into its body, then pulled fiercely.

  "Penetrating Heaven and Earth"

  One of the voices was a sharp rebuke, a severe reprimand, swift as lightning, piercing through all that could be pierced in the universe.

  Inverted thorns burst forth, sharp and piercing, from the body of the golden-silver corpse, intersecting and penetrating each other. Dark blood flowed out along the gaps between the thorns.

  "Ahhh" The golden light turned into a silver corpse, twisting its body and screaming loudly, using the remaining strength to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the shackles.

  Facing such a demon, how could Mu Lingwei be soft-hearted? The dark energy surged, and the sharp thorns expanded several times. Wanling Whip threw out a lash, then pulled back, "Puff" sound, directly exploding that ferocious golden silver corpse into a pile of rotten flesh, mixed with gorgeous rose petals, scattered all over the ground.

  At the same time.

  "Boom!" A loud explosion.

  Only to see Chen Mo's long-accumulated thunderbolt suddenly burst out, and in the midst of the rumbling thunder, it directly blasted the silver corpse, its limbs flying backward, black blood splashing onto the bluestone road, congealing into black patches.

  Those rose petals in the sky were still floating and fluttering about, with many pieces drifting directly onto his face.

  Chen Mo inhaled a breath of cold air, gazing at the half-empty space where the goddess-like Master Ling floated with an ethereal and elegant bearing. Her exquisite and beautiful technique was not lacking in its overbearing decisiveness, ruthless and unyielding. Without even using any effort, she had blown away that extraordinary golden silver corpse, and for a moment, he felt a sense of fear rising up in his heart.

  It's fortunate that I've always been respectful to my master, never provoking her anger. Otherwise, those whips covered in thorns and rose blades would have left me with a chilling sensation, just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine.

  The divine whip in Mulingwei's hand had undergone a surprising transformation. The scene unfolded like a reversal of time, with flowers closing up, green leaves curling up, thorns shrinking back, and transforming into small twigs that entwined around her wrist as white as jade, forming a lovely little flower ring bracelet.

  After being stunned and speechless, I couldn't help but secretly praise him. The master is indeed the master, the power of the First Heaven Eight Stages is truly strong and overbearing, destroying a peak-level undead spirit with ease, without even breaking a sweat.

  If she could go further and become a Tian Jie Wang Zhe, wouldn't that mean I would be able to roam freely throughout the entire Da Feng Country?

  Ling Kong's wooden spirit turned around, her ethereal figure fluttering down to the ground like a swan feather, and she gave Chen Mo a gentle smile in appreciation.

  Chen Mo was just about to say something proudly, but suddenly thought of her beautiful Whip of the Gods, which was full of reverse thorns. When he inadvertently met her gaze, he shuddered and hastily put on a flattering smile, adding a bit more reverence.

  Xiao Ba was also startled and suddenly realized that the goddess sister had a queen-like demeanor hidden within her. He quickly rubbed against her feet, fawning over her in a flattering manner.

  After resolving the first batch of demonic corpses, Mulan's eyes also became slightly heavy.

  At this time.

  In the heart of the dead city, a surge of demonic energy shot up into the sky, constantly entwining and twisting together to form a column of demonic energy that reached the heavens. The dense demonic energy exploded outward, shrouding the sky and sun, falling down like raindrops, forming a massive demonic net that loomed over the city with its teeth bared and claws outstretched.

  "The source of the demonic energy was originally there." Mulan Wei gazed at the column of demonic energy, her mind fell into deep thought, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she said worriedly: "If it erupts at this speed, in less than two years, Changchun Valley will also be affected by erosion."

  ……

  Almost simultaneously.

  Deep in the underground city of death altar, thick devil air is steaming up from the mouth of the altar, rushing straight into the clouds.

  At the mouth of the altar, several copper corpses with ferocious faces dragged a few mutilated bodies down the steps.

  "Bang bang bang"

  The corpse kept crashing against the rugged stone steps, and dark red bloodstains splattered down, nauseating and terrifying.

  A narrow and slippery stone staircase spiralled down into the ground, and when they had descended halfway, the temperature at the bottom suddenly rose.

  The copper corpse shriveled up, just like a person without blood and flesh. They were completely unaware of this, throwing the corpses in their claws directly into a giant cauldron deep in the ground.

  A loud bang.

  Flames accompanied by a foul odor shot up into the sky, and the cauldron's flames blazed fiercely, continuously burning and scorching the rotting corpses, as evil energy rolled upwards.

  Several copper corpses on the stone stairs began to stretch their necks and desperately absorb the thick demonic energy, baring their teeth and claws as they let out a loud "Ahhh".

  Suddenly.

  "A loud noise" came from underground with a faint humming sound.

  Before the words had fallen, a scorching flame shot out and ignited the copper corpse. The flames rose in all directions, and the copper corpse fell headfirst into the magic cauldron, instantly engulfed by the flames.

  Only an old man with red hair and eyebrows was seen standing on the altar with his hands behind his back.

  Surrounding the altar is a pool of crimson blood, with red light radiating from within. The molten flames inside are turbulent and splashing about, with glimpses of white bones ceaselessly rolling at the bottom of the pool.

  "Detestable Poison Guanyin, how dare you ruin your own great affair. What evil cultivation is this damned witch practicing?"

  If Chen Mo were here, he would immediately recognize that this old man was the Red Flame King who had a life-and-death battle with Ming Youlian several months ago.

  Only to see Chi Yan Wang's eyes were filled with black lines, staring at the purple flame in the cauldron. He thought of Du Guanyin repeatedly disrupting his plans, beating him badly and leaving him severely injured. The evil aura had invaded his body, only now was it completely eliminated.

  At this thought, hatred arises from the heart, and it's hard to dispel the anger in his mind without cutting her into ten thousand pieces.

  In the tripod, a purple flame was jumping violently, and soon transformed into a pale purple human-like shadow. The shadow was surrounded by black magic gas, bursting out with pale purple soul fire, and those scarlet eyes opened, the red light of the demon pool flickered, the dark wind howled, and the vengeful spirits wailed.

  "Red Flame King, as long as you and I merge into one body to become the great Demon King, then the Poisonous Guanyin will be nothing but an ant. The awakened demon soul was tempting him with gentle words, without a physical form, even if the soul had many mysterious skills, it would be useless, and could only use human greed to gradually shape its physical body into a new Demon King."

  "Still, let's refine your physical body first, and then help me with my task." Chi Yan Wang was not a fool either. His sinister eyes gleamed with a mixture of light and darkness. As a preeminent strongman at the peak of his power, he was only one step away from ascending to the throne of heaven. His goal was to use the magical techniques of the demon tribe to bridge this gap. However, he also didn't want to merge with the demon soul and become an inhuman, ghostly creature.

  "Whatever." The demon's red eyes slanted, casting a sinister and eerie glow that suppressed his discontent. The person in front of him still had value to be used, and when his body was refined, he would become a heavenly corpse.

  Each person has their own thoughts and intentions, all of them are cunning and crafty, how would they allow themselves to suffer losses?

  "Have the ninety-nine boys and girls prepared for my demonic body refinement gathered?" The demon soul stretched out its invisible claws, and with a slight touch, it pinched out a purple flame, as if showing off its power.

  The Red Flame King's sleeve waved, and a pile of demon corpses pushed the giant gallows by the side of the magic pool.

  All I could hear was the sound of "clattering" wheels turning.

  "Rattling" chains were pulled out from the spiral stone stairs, ninety-seven boys and girls hung upside down, pale faces, struggling weak bodies, frightened and worried cries echoed together.

  The Red Flame King looked at the inverted children hanging from the top of his head, chuckled a few times, and took a step closer to heaven. Still having to rely on the magic soul, he had no choice but to speak the truth.

  "There are still two left, I was severely injured by Dugu Yuyan and delayed things." His eyes were uncertain, coldly saying: "Speaking of which, this matter is also your fault. If you had given me a complete Demon Skill, I would have broken through the shackles and become a Tianjie Wangzhe long ago. And wouldn't have been injured by that poisonous woman Dugu Yuyan's Requiem Lotus."

  "Hmph! The demon soul sneered continuously and said: "Red Flame King, the deal between us was that you would first take half of the cultivation method, and only after it's successful could you get the other half. Rest assured, we demons value our reputation the most. As long as you do your job conscientiously, I guarantee that you will become a Heavenly Stage King."

  "I hope you can really keep your promise." The tone of Chi Yan Wang's voice was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

  Those crimson eyes of the demon monkey stared at the sharp, purple flames, and suddenly let out a sinister chuckle: "The two who came to make up the numbers have delivered themselves to our doorstep. Best if we can catch them alive. Red Flame King, don't mess things up this time."

  The Red Flame King's eyebrows furrowed, his expression turned stern. Could it be that there were still fearless boys and girls who would voluntarily deliver themselves to the Death City, unafraid of being eroded by demonic energy?

  It's just as well, since someone has delivered it to my doorstep, that saves me a lot of trouble. Helping the demon soul achieve its physical form is a matter of personal gain. Having experienced who-knows-how-many betrayals by the Red Flame King, how could I possibly truly believe in a demon soul?

  I had long been brewing all sorts of countermeasures in my heart, and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't squeeze out every last bit of its oil.

  Mo Hu's thoughts were also racing, the value of using Chi Yan Wang was about to end, after he finished his last task, he would definitely refine him into a heavenly corpse.

  For a moment, the demonic flames of Mo Hun's soul surged, and with a sharp whistle, those demonic corpses all stopped moving, climbing up the stone ladder, drilling into the cave tunnel, as if the gates of hell had suddenly opened, and evil spirits rushed out in a frenzy.

  Like a tide, it surged outward with great momentum.
