Chapter 803: Skull Mountain Bone Cave
The thick demonic energy stirred the surrounding environment madly. The endless earth energy and death energy turned into thick black clouds covering the sky. The layers of clouds were like the overlapping backs of tens of millions of giant beasts. The blue phosphorescent fire produced by the friction of the earth energy, death energy and demonic energy was like scales, jumping up and down, like a giant beast moving slowly, making the dark sky look particularly terrifying.

Suddenly, a scarlet lightning tore open a corner of the cloud, like the festering texture and blood vessels under the skin being torn apart. The sound of thunder echoed all around, causing countless cracks to appear on the ground.

Under the illumination of lightning, Chu Tai squatted down and picked up a head from the ground.

There was a hint of relief on the young face filled with pain and confusion. Chu Tai looked at the wreckage and broken walls around him. With cosmic light flowing in his eyes, he saw what had happened on this land a quarter of an hour ago.

The aftermath of the thunder shook the earth, and the evil wind stirred the mountains, rivers and lakes.

Many villages built on the mountains and rivers were reduced to ruins in the earthquake.

But the surviving villages were not much better off; they had to face something even more terrifying than the disaster.

Countless monsters whose nests were also destroyed by the evil wind stood outside the village, their eyes full of greed and malice. The leading wolf-headed monster stood in the mud, staring at the bronze piece at the village gate.

This thing, which usually exudes an aura that disgusts monsters, has now grown rust. Countless overlapping crying faces are wandering on the bronze surface, and wisps of poisonous glass-colored mist are constantly corroding the ancient patterns on the copper.

The wolf demon exhaled a foul breath, sniffed the fearful atmosphere in the village, and grinned: "The best blood food, rich spiritual charm, if I can eat this village, I will definitely be able to make further progress. Unfortunately, I can only enjoy 30% at most..."

The wolf demon muttered the last sentence vaguely, and then shouted to the back: "Little ones, the flesh and blood are at your disposal, but you must give up 90% of your spiritual energy!"

He swung the long knife in his hand, and a wolf howled as a black shadow fell. The bronze pieces immediately shattered, and countless hungry monsters rushed into the village.

The bloody light representing the disaster filled the village, and the sounds of grief and wailing surrounded the sky.

Chu Tai, standing in the present, looked over and saw monsters drinking blood, beasts tearing corpses apart, and "people" forced to chew their internal organs.

"Eat! Eat quickly! After you eat these, you will become one of us!"

The wolf demon looked at the child who was mechanically chewing flesh and blood, and kept scolding him until strange patterns gradually appeared on the child's body.

"It really works! It really works! People can also devour spiritual energy. After eating spiritual energy, people are no longer human, but demons. The spiritual energy in the body will also undergo a rapid qualitative change. In this way, I can use less spiritual energy and get more power..."

With a slash of the long knife, a bullet rolled down, and an expression of relief appeared on the young and painful face.

Bits of spiritual light flowed out from the severed head and were greedily absorbed by the wolf demon. Strands of spiritual light flowed across its face, making its demonic aura become thicker and more turbid.

As for the head that had lost its spirit, after it fell to the ground, it was tossed around at will by a few well-fed monsters nearby. It flew in the air, passed through the grass and trees, smashed clay pots, and broke tree branches.

If it weren't for the fact that his skin had become slightly tougher due to the previous absorption of spiritual energy, Chu Tai probably wouldn't be able to see his true appearance at all.

"Hey...Rest in peace..."

A sigh came from Chu Tai's mouth, and the head in his hand turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

At the same time, the resentful aura around him and the cursed blood gathered at his fingertips. As Chu Tai wrote in the air, it turned into strange lines and traced back into the distance.

There was a vague evil aura hovering there, as well as an atmosphere of pleasure, joy and satisfaction.

In the distance, a wolf demon that was walking on the road with a lot of flesh, blood, and spiritual charm suddenly felt a little fear. It twisted its body and turned into a black wind and rushed towards the distance.

A goblin who had just left and stayed behind was blown by a breeze. The gentle, harmless airflow caused this goblin, who was said to have skin of steel and bones, to scream miserably.

Immediately afterwards, many twisted forces surged wildly in its body, rolling like a tide, and finally erupted from its limbs and bones.

The terrifying force, carrying countless fine blood mists, transformed into ghost faces and rushed in all directions, leaving behind a corpse that looked like a torn bag.

As for the monsters that were stained by the blood mist, they also let out screams.

The ten-meter-long red centipede kept twisting on the ground, and its tender arms broke through the hard shell and detached its centipede.

The three-meter-tall black panther's spine kept twisting and finally separated from its tail, and the entire beast lost its support.

The bat, with its wingspan as wide as five meters, bled to death and turned into a mummy.

The screams of countless demons dying made the leaving wolf demon even more frightened, and its speed became faster and faster.

But as all the monsters that remained in place died, the blood-colored mist began to gather towards the wolf monster, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Almost there! Almost there, we will be safe once we are beside the Queen."

The wolf demon kept cheering itself up, and slowly it saw a mountain in the distance.

The entire body of the mountain is blue-gray rock, and its appearance is like the head of the Six Yang that has lost all flesh and blood. Millions of corpses are hung in the empty "eye sockets", and yin energy and death energy are intertwined in them, with ghostly fires. From a distance, it looks like two eyeballs watching the surroundings.

On the slightly opened "mouth" were countless piled-up white bones, with faint blue phosphorous floating, constantly polluting all the vitality and spiritual inspiration around it.

Just as the wolf demon was about to enter that area, the blood mist behind it suddenly appeared behind it and wrapped it up.

It was just like the time when the wolf demon teased its prey in the past, and always killed it when the prey thought it was saved.

"No! Goddess, save me!"

The wolf demon shouted loudly, and his palm was about to touch the border.

The blood mist completely wrapped around it, and the wolf claw began to decay. A gust of cold wind blew, and the wolf claw turned into ashes the moment it was about to fall into the territory of Skull Mountain.

"Ok?"

A burst of surprises echoed among the mountains, and then a Taoist woman wearing a fishtail crown, a Bagua robe, hemp shoes and a silk belt appeared on the top of the mountain. She looked in the direction of the wolf demon and whispered, "Which Taoist friend is making fun of my wolf vanguard? Are you looking down on me, Shiji?"

Layer upon layer of sound constantly echoed around, countless sounds overlapped, shaking the earth's veins and energy, and strands of deathly aura, yin energy, and evil energy spread in all directions.

Chu Tai in the distance ignored the other party and looked towards the edge of Skull Mountain, where five young men were standing.

Stimulated by Shiji's voice, their faces turned red and their blood boiled. One of the young men could not bear it any longer and swung the nine-ring broadsword in his hand.

The nine demon-subduing golden rings kept colliding, emitting waves of demon-subduing Sanskrit sounds. The terrifying energy drew an arc in the air and aimed fiercely at Shiji's head.

"Old witch, go to hell!"

"You ignorant child, just stay there quietly, I won't bother to pay attention to you, now you jump out and seek death, I will grant your wish!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it casually, and countless evil spirits immediately turned into a dark misty skull, with blood flowing inside. When he opened his mouth, it was full of white bones and sharp teeth, biting fiercely on the precious sword. The black air instantly spread upward along the precious sword, and during this time, the nine demon-suppressing golden rings kept colliding, making sounds, but quickly dimmed and lost their spiritual light.

The four people who were traveling with him were all shocked when they saw this.

One of the women hurriedly took out a mirror and pointed it at the skull.

The light in the mirror flows, the red and white colors change, the mysteries of life and death are intertwined, breaking it a little.

The young man wielding the sword broke free from his restraints and shouted angrily, "Open the mountain!"

As the words fell, thousands of sword lights converged inward and gathered on the nine-ring sword.

In a trance, invisible sword energy gathered behind the young man and turned into a divine axe that fell from the sky, emitting divine power to split mountains and hills. It seemed that under it, no matter how majestic the mountain was, it would collapse.

"A counterfeit Yin-Yang mirror? And the sword intent of the mountain-splitting axe! Interesting, I thought it was a demon-slaying alchemist from Chaoge, but I didn't expect it to have some connection with the Chan Sect..."

Shi Ji looked at the Yin-Yang mirror in the woman's hand and said in a cold tone, "So, Kunlun is planning to attack me?"

The voice was full of murderous intent, as if countless poisonous snakes were stalking around the girl, and she was so frightened that she quickly pointed the magic mirror in her hand at the woman.

The mirror light fell, but Shiji didn't care at all. He crushed it casually and made a clenched gesture to the five people.

In an instant, the young men flew into the air, their hands and feet dangling, and clear marks of finger pressure appeared on their necks.

The many protective treasures on their bodies glowed brightly, but were shattered the moment they were raised.

As many jade pendants fell to the ground and the talismans turned into ashes, a trace of fear and despair appeared in the eyes of the five people.

"Are you still not coming out? If you don't come out, I will really eat them all."

Shiji made an inhalation gesture to the five people, and instantly wisps of fluorescent smoke emerged from their seven orifices and floated towards her.

The expressions of the five people turned pale, and there were even signs of petrification.

"Monster, don't even think about hurting anyone! Look at the treasure!"

With a roar, a ray of spiritual light descended from the sky, and before it touched Shiji, it suddenly split into three. One circled around Shiji's head with an incredible trajectory, spun and accumulated momentum, and suddenly fell down. One attacked Shiji's side in a circling manner, and the other hit him directly in the face.

"The Infinite Flying Ring? Interesting, but it's a pity that the owner's cultivation is too poor!"

Shiji casually clapped her hands, and the three flying rings broke into pieces immediately. The woman who came running saw this scene, and she put her hands together. The golden rings that were trembling slightly in her palms suddenly burst into precious light, and as she waved her hands forward, the golden rings shone.

The Wuding Flying Ring instantly changed into thousands, scattering like smallpox, and flew towards the front.

There were thousands of flying rings, and during the rapid rotation, countless flying rings were split into, shuttling back and forth between each other, changing back and forth, and occasionally colliding with each other, making pleasant sounds.

Of course, pleasant to the ears is for ordinary people, but to demons, they are countless thunderous sounds to subdue demons.

But for Shiji, it was also a joke.

She watched the man come and rescue the five people, and watched the flying rings follow countless mysterious trajectories, disrupting her own perception.

Finally, Shiji stretched out her hand and let the flying ring hit her hand. The flying ring, which was powerful enough to penetrate a mountain, was repelled into powder when it touched Shiji's wrist.

As Shiji's five fingers contracted, the Wuding Feihuan was caught in her hand, and then she turned her hand and hit the woman back.

Chu Tai, who was watching all this from afar, glanced at the man in gold clothes standing not far away. The light of the universe flowed, and after making sure that the other party would not take action, he blew a breath.

A strong gale appeared out of nowhere, and the evil spirits colliding in the nine heavens suddenly became a little chaotic.

A scarlet bolt of lightning came down and knocked the flying ring to the ground.

Shiji showed a trace of fear on his face and looked around. At the same time, the man hiding in the dark also had a surprised expression and looked around.

But nothing changed, and the two of them didn't notice anything wrong.

Instead, the woman took the opportunity to pull the five people away from the spot and ran towards another direction full of inspiration and vitality.

The man in gold hiding in the dark looked around again, and finally left.

Shiji was the only one left standing there. Chu Tai walked forward, completely ignoring the Shiji in the outside world. Instead, he slowly walked inside, passed through many legal prohibitions, and met another Shiji.

She was tall and slender with a beautiful appearance. She wore a black robe with wide sleeves and a purple-black ornament on her head that looked like a fan. From time to time, a dark blue light flowed around her.

At this time, Shiji was observing the outside world through a huge crystal, with a strange and gloomy look in his eyes.

After waiting for a long time, there was no change in the outside world. She looked at Kun Dao Shiji in the crystal and said coldly: "Is there no one? Or are you not here to see me?"

As she was speaking, she was about to ask her incarnation from the outside world to return, but a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"I didn't plan to come look for you, but I saw you by chance and was too lazy to look for anyone else."

Shiji turned around suddenly, and dozens of bone knives flew out from his wide sleeves. At the same time, he twisted his body and turned into a black gas and fled deep into the ground.

With a flash of golden light, the flying knife was fixed in the void, and then countless scriptures appeared on the ground, trapping her in place.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not a monster. Do you have to be so scared?"

Chu Tai looked at Shi Ji and walked slowly to her throne. He snapped his fingers and a stream of clear air descended, dispersing the ashes. Then many precious flowers appeared and a lotus blossomed in the center of the seat.

After sitting down, Chu Tai looked at Shi Ji who was silently trying to activate the magic restrictions in the cave, and advised: "Don't waste your energy. Just now, when you were observing the changes in the outside world, I corrected all the magic restrictions in your cave. Now there is no place inside and outside the cave that you can control. You should sit down and talk to me."

As he spoke, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and a lotus blossomed, like a host inviting guests to take a seat.

Shi Ji gritted her teeth when she noticed this, but she didn't dare to show it. Instead, she sat down with a smile on her face and looked at Chu Tai flatteringly.

"I don't know where this immortal came from, and what he wants. If I can help you in any way I can, I will do my best."
