Yinshan Record

Chapter 526 Life and Death Uncertain, Unthinkable (Part 2)

"Yin Pool?"

Du Ling and the other two generals were all martial artists who purely practiced martial arts, while Jin Li, although from a xuanmen (mystical sect), had never heard of such a thing.

"It's almost like an array, but it's a very real thing. It uses the spirits of ten thousand ghosts as a catalyst to absorb the poisonous gas of the earth's lungs, the deathly energy of the Nine Netherworlds, and the underworld energy of Houtu. It combines these three energies into a liquid, which is like the legendary Nine Netherworlds. It can not only temper the ghost's body and enhance the cultivation of the ghosts under its command, but also transform it into its own magical power. Most importantly, as long as the Yin Pool exists, it can allow thousands of ghosts to reincarnate endlessly and be killed without end."

"Even if the three demons of Xuanshan are highly skilled, they probably can't dry up the waters of Sikongtu's Yin Pool."

As Su Che spoke, he looked at Sikong Tu, who was unfurling a large banner in the air. Looking at him now, this ghost general did indeed have some presence.

Since the uprising at Bailudong, Sikong Tu has remained steadfast, focusing intently on building this so-called Yin Pool. However, Young Master Su still managed to save face for the imperial court.

To create such a Yin Pool, in addition to the aforementioned Earth Lung Poison, Nine Nether Death Qi, and Hou Tu Nether Qi, one also needs the powerful resentment of all living beings.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King once mentioned to Su Che that the Yin Pool was a tactic invented by human cultivators during the great strife of the ancient times in order to protect their race and fight against the demon gods. Each Yin Pool meant an inexhaustible army of ghosts and monsters.

Driven by the resentment of humanity at the time, such an inexhaustible army was the best protection for all living beings.

That ordinary emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty acted perversely, and yet Sikong Tu managed to create the Yin Pool in this world. It can be said to be comparable to those ancient demon gods of the past, which is extremely shameful.

"Isn't that..."

Invincible.

Jin Li silently swallowed the last three words and looked at Sikong Tu on the other side. He had thought that with Yu Chen gone, there were no more notable figures. He had underestimated this Ghost Commander Sikong.

"Given the limitations of the terrain, can he not move?"

General Du Ling, the Conqueror of the East, was a veteran soldier. He immediately saw the inherent flaw of Yin Chi. This method was naturally first-rate for defense, but if it were used in another place, Sikong Tu would definitely not have such prestige.

"Firstly, we can lure the enemy deep into the Yin Pool and make him leave. Secondly, we can use swift and decisive means to destroy his Yin Pool. Finally, it's because the three demons of Xuan Mountain are stupid and cannot recognize his transformation. His 'Heaven and Earth Transformation' form looks terrifying, but it's also the perfect opportunity for him to be surrounded and killed by the ghosts. No matter how strong Sikong Tu is, he's only a fifth-grade Rejuvenating Core cultivator. If the few of us attack together, ignoring his fierce ghosts, I don't believe we can't defeat him alone."

Su Che nodded in agreement.

"General Zheng Dong is right, but I think there is no need to rush."

The General's method is a legitimate approach. In ancient times, those primordial demon gods used their most elite alien species to directly charge and smash your Yin Pool. Alternatively, they would target the person in charge and behead them. The Yin Pool, after all, is half a formation; without someone in charge, it's just an ordinary barrier.

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Du Ling looked at Su Che with curiosity.

"Didn't Elder Jin say that their Great River Alliance now also has a Grand General who acts on behalf of Heaven to pacify the people? Now that the three demons have appeared, I'm afraid this Grand General will make his move soon, right?"

Su Che knew, of course, where his clone was at that moment.

"Besides, I have some plans."

"arrange?"

Su Che smiled slightly and asked, "Where do you think the thunder in the sky came from right now?"

As he spoke, Young Master Su sent his divine thoughts into the clouds.

Azure Dragon, add some more power. Roar.

With a roar, the dragon's cry was extremely powerful and yang, sweeping away all evil spirits. Even Sikong Tu, who was holding the banner firmly in the air, was shaken. A huge azure dragon slowly appeared in the sky. It lowered its head, which had not yet grown horns, and waved its body, stirring up streams of water vapor. In the dark clouds, endless thunder roared.

"I thought Heaven was making things difficult for me, but I never expected it to be you, you long serpent. With your ability to summon clouds and rain, who are you paving the way for? Even the Three Demons of Xuanshan probably couldn't persuade you, the Lord of Canglang Water, to come, could you?"

Sikong Tu roared, but the dragon in the sky paid no heed, dispersing the water vapor and causing thunder to roar.

"This is……"

Du Ling looked at Su Che in shock. There was no need to say more about the only creature with such skill in controlling clouds and rain, except for the powerful Azure Dragon in the Canglang River. However, it was not that this Marquis of Changxin had some kind of ambiguous relationship with Lady Xue. Logically speaking, he should not be on good terms with this Azure Dragon. How could he possibly drive it here to control clouds and rain and generate heavenly thunder?
"He has the Yin Pool Earth Vein, and I have the Azure Dragon to assist in the thunder."

Su Che looked towards the arena as he spoke: "Moreover, Elder Jin's backup plan should be coming out soon."

I had a backup plan, how come I didn't know?
Jin Li looked at the scene with suspicion, only to see a gap suddenly torn open in a corner of the earth, with countless ghosts wrapped in a yellow and turbid wave of water. A figure rose into the sky with the wave, pointing directly at Sikong Tu in the sky.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Sikong Tu rolled up the banner in his hand, and streams of eerie light surged down like a waterfall. As the light hit the target, all sorts of ghostly spirits appeared, each one roaring ferociously like a torrential rain.

The figure remained calm and released a beam of white light.

The white light faintly revealed the skeletal features of a skull, yet it was serene and serene, imbued with a touch of Zen. The white light rose against the tide, directly turning the myriad ghosts into dust.

"Sikong Tu, if you want to deal with me, Liu, you'd better show some real skills, instead of using these little devils as bait."

Liu Yi's clone didn't say much. He used the Buddhist technique of "lotus blossoms with every step," with white lotuses flashing under his feet. He moved forward, his fists carrying a strong magical power, heading straight for Sikong Tu.

"What a fine Bull Demon Yin Seal! But you are no match for me."

Sikong Tu threw the banner into the air, his double pupils flashing with lightning, and his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging directly at Liu Yi's clone.

"Well come."

Lightning crackled around Liu Yi, his body as clear as glass, and flames followed the lightning. The two actually clashed head-on with lightning magic.

With a single strike, Liu Yi flew downwards, while Sikong Tu soared into the sky.

"Liu Yidao, although you have mastered the Great Vajrabhairava Mantra, I have the assistance of ten thousand ghosts. You are no match for me. I don't know what kind of madness you have gone mad to become the first pawns for the imperial court. But since you are here, why don't you all contribute some materials to my Yin Pool together?"

A flash of lightning revealed Sikong Tu's figure once more, his double pupils filled with a deep, malevolent aura.

"is it?"

Liu Yi looked up at Sikong Tu above him, and suddenly unleashed his sword energy. Twelve chilling sword intents, imbued with some wondrous law, enveloped Sikong Tu.

"The wind blows back and the snow falls, the whole sky is bitterly cold."

Liu Yi chuckled softly: "Sikong Tu, can you still borrow the power of the Yin Pool now?"
