Chapter 317 Tearing Through the Void, A Blessed Land! (Bonus Chapter)

(I have a chapter saved up at the end of the month, so I'll add an extra chapter to make it a combined chapter.)
A chilling wind howled, and malevolent energy surged.

Apart from Duncan, almost no one in the entire county noticed the strange woman. She had no aura of a living person at all, and if it weren't for the dimensional connection, he wouldn't have noticed her either.

The woman frowned, staring intently at the transformed toad-like Taoist priest, her expression enigmatic, her intentions unclear.

Yin Banner!

Up!
The Toad Taoist shook the bronze bell in his hand and stepped out with the Heavenly Gang Step. Although it was a Taoist technique, when he used it, it was as if a demon had descended to earth. Ghostly mist surged around the city gate, and the sound of ghosts and gods weeping could be heard. The outlines of fierce and evil ghosts emerged from the black mist. It was unclear whether they were summoned from the Yellow Springs or were evil ghosts that he had subdued.

"not good!"

"It's the art of demonic arts! We've encountered a true master of the Dao!"

While the other martial arts practitioners were still bewildered, the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect changed her expression drastically. She gestured to the Miao people beside her to follow, and in a flash, she arrived at Duncan's side.

This young man is very strong, and I can't figure out his strength at all, but he was able to take her Five Poison Whip with his bare hands, so he is definitely not an ordinary person.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect cried out urgently, "Young brother! That old monster is a true disciple of the Ghost Path!"

"Let's break out together!"

"Otherwise, if he sets up the Blood Fiend Formation later, we will all be trapped here and die."

What is this for me?

Is this really some kind of martial arts from the Jianghu?

On a dimensional level, fierce ghosts and malevolent spirits emerged, and even a few neutral-marked ghost messengers appeared in the yin wind, but after only a glance from afar, their faces filled with terror, and they vanished instantly.

"The spirit remains undiminished, the soul rises and roams the netherworld!"

"Hurry, hurry, by the decree of the Great Emperor of Fengdu!"

This old monster was even more ferocious than the one encountered in Dangshan. He stomped his right foot on the ground three times, causing the local earth god temple outside the city to collapse instantly.

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

Although they had not yet entered the city, they had sealed off the entire area outside Hepu County.

A bell rang.

Behind the Toad Taoist, a figure appeared that was neither human nor ghost. He was also dressed in Taoist attire, but looked like a resurrected evil spirit. He seemed to have little sense of reason, scattering paper money in his hand and constantly summoning fierce ghostly figures from the underworld.

"The paper figures weep, the living laugh, and a new sedan chair is brought on the road to the underworld."

"White candles flicker, black banners flutter, old robes burn at the Bridge of Helplessness."

—Sang Daoren (Chancellor) (Blood Refining Puppet) (Five-Star Silver Gray)!
——Huai Daoren (Ghost Soldier) (Blood Refining Puppet) (Five-Star Blank)!

The Seven Killings Corpse-Nourishing Method.

Up!
The situation was chaotic. Some people tried to escape the county town, but before they could even break through the ghostly mist, they were met with screams of agony. This scene reminded Duncan of the Seven Fiends of the Heavenly Demon Sect. If he had known how to use the Wind and Fire Demon Subduing Technique, he would have wanted to directly borrow the power of the Heaven and Earth Limitless Universe.

The appearance of zombies and evil spirits terrified many martial arts practitioners.

The true teachings of the Ghost Path.

Ghost Path is the name given to the early Taoist school founded by Zhang Daoling during the Han and Jin dynasties. Ghost Path is characterized by talismans for exorcising ghosts and the worship of the Three Officials, and it integrates the shamanistic traditions of the Di and Qiang ethnic groups in Sichuan and Chongqing.

Its followers are called "ghost soldiers," and its leader is called "official." When Zhang Lu established a theocratic regime in Hanzhong, he set up charitable shrines and implemented the Three Pardons, which enabled the sect to develop into an institutionalized sect.

This is the 'ghostly witchcraft' of primitive shamanism, which Zhang Daoling absorbed from the religions of ethnic minorities during his time studying Taoism at Huming Mountain and created through books on incantations against ghosts.

—"Zhang Lu then occupied Hanzhong and taught the people the way of ghosts. He called himself Master Lord. Those who came to learn the way were initially called Ghost Soldiers. After they accepted the way and believed, they were called Libationers and each led a group of people. The one with the most followers became the Chief Libationer.

Zhang Lu was not particularly famous during the Three Kingdoms period.

Because there were too many extraordinary people in that era.

However, within the Taoist community, he was a renowned third-generation Celestial Master and the grandson of Zhang Daoling.

You can't ignore his status in Taoism just because he wasn't a ruthless person during the Three Kingdoms period. No one in Taoism during that era could compare to the man who shouted, "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise."

Furthermore, there is a claim that the author of the "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary" was Zhang Lu, who falsely attributed it to his ancestor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Five Pecks of Rice sect was called the Rice Thieves.

boom!
Coffins descended from the sky, hanging upside down at the city gate, suspended by a rope. They were empty inside, much like the hanging coffins of Longhu Mountain in later generations.

In order to attract tourists, later generations named it 'Raising the Coffin for Fortune'.

At this moment, however, it was being used to set up an array. The evil aura surged, the ghostly mist filled the air, and the sound of galloping troops could be heard from the darkness. Then, a group of ghostly soldiers and evil spirits rushed out from the underworld.

—The Upside-Down Coffin Curse!

—Borrowing a path from the underworld!

The corpses of the many villains who had been resurrected in the Valley of Villains gathered under the Yin Banner of the Toad Taoist. Blood-red threads flew out from his hand, like ink lines soaked in human blood. After the threads flew into the many corpses of the Valley of Villains, they turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

—The Twelve Blood Child Formation!
Those strands of blood seeped into the bodies of the flying corpses, and even their movements and martial arts changed. The corpse of Zhu Jie, the leader, was like a ghost, but it used the 'Ghostly Wandering Step' of the Blood Refining Sect of the Demonic Path.

This old monster is going to wipe everyone out!
Not only that, he also wanted to set up a killing formation to capture the experts of the Southern Frontier and turn them into food.

If he succeeds.

The entire Hepu County will be transformed into a ghost town, at which point he will have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of enlightenment.

"It happened!"

"Young man, you've really put me in a difficult position!"

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect looked slightly pale and murmured, "This old monster of the Demonic Sect was prepared all along. He spread the news of the secret techniques of the pre-Qin period in order to lure us here."

"Now we're truly a pair of lovebirds destined for the same fate."

The handsome young man standing to the side raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said softly, "Don't misuse idioms."

"We've only met a few times."

"What kind of couple are you, sharing the same fate?"

Don't panic.

Our helpers have arrived.

At some point, from God's perspective at the dimensional level, Lu Shanjun's mark had already appeared. On the hillside outside Hepu County, a beautiful Miao woman stood on a treetop, holding a crystal-clear silkworm cocoon in her hands, looking in this direction with her brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

——The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect (Six-Star Silver Gray)!
—Lu Shanjun (Six-star silver-gray)!
The commotion caused by this old monster from the Demonic Sect was bound to attract the attention of other experts near Meichuan.

The curse of ghosts and gods must be truly invincible in the world.

Back then, even the great teacher Zhang Jiao wouldn't have lost; there weren't many great figures in Taoism who could compare to Zhang Jiao.

Zhuge Liang borrowed the Seven Star Lamp to prolong his life, but he still succumbed to fate.

The incantations used by this person are not considered early exorcism techniques of the Celestial Masters sect, but rather a lineage of ghost witchcraft, with witchcraft elements far exceeding those of Taoism.

"Fairy Maiden".

"Why are we staying here? It's probably extremely dangerous inside!"

Behind the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, an old nanny looked anxiously at the thick fog in the direction of the county town, appearing very worried.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect pondered for a moment before finally saying, "That old monster has such a grand display!"

"It's impossible to do it just for these reasons."

"He probably wants to break this world and explore the blessed lands of the Qin and Han dynasties."

Upon hearing this, the others present paled.

One of the young men, who appeared to be of mixed Han and Miao descent and dressed as a scholar, calculated with his fingers and exclaimed in shock, "Legend has it that the closest place to here is Baoxuan Cave Heaven."

"In Duqiao Mountain."

Beside him stood Miss Sun, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. She wore a veil and said solemnly, "It is the Treasure Mystery Grotto-heaven. Immortal Liu Genzhi."

——Green Hair Fairy-Liu Gen.

According to the "Records of Wu County", after Liu Gen attained enlightenment in Dongting Mountain, his body grew green hair, hence the name "Green-haired Immortal". Later generations also used "Green-haired Old Man" as his alternative name. The Tang Dynasty poet Cao Song wrote in his poem "To a Taoist": "The grotto heaven won the growth of green hair".

Early Taoist immortals were quite special. After Liu Gen devoted himself to Taoist cultivation in Dongting Mountain, his body underwent a strange change. The "green hair growing on his body" was regarded as a symbol of ascending to immortality, representing that the cultivator broke through the shackles of the mortal body and reached a transcendent state.

There are many legends in Taoism about people who attained immortality, but very few can be compared with masters like Lü Dongbin and Chen Tuan.

Green Hairy Old Man eventually went into seclusion in Baoxuan Cave, which is located in Guangxi.

Miss Sun looked shocked and asked in a deep voice, "Fairy, what is she?"

"That old monster from the Demonic Sect truly possesses the power to shatter this world."

"Open the gate to the celestial realm?"

There are so many legendary blessed lands in Taoism, but how many people can actually open them? Even experts who have entered the Tao realm may not have the power to break through space.

Entering a blessed land is like a minor ascension.

Even the most advanced techniques for both cathode and anode are difficult to achieve.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

"But he used a secret method from the pre-Qin period to lure so many people here and even set up a malevolent energy array here, so he must have some confidence."

"Perhaps there are even experts who can help him break through this space."

Miss Sun felt as if she were listening to a myth. She had previously studied the Heavenly Serpent Bone-Changing Technique and felt that this secret method was not like a martial art at all, but rather like a profound ancient secret technique.

Today has truly broadened her horizons. If the gate to the celestial realm opens, she will have to re-examine everything.

Does the Green-haired Old Man really exist?

Miss Sun was very puzzled. If it was according to her understanding, the green hair growing on the body could mean that the body had turned into a corpse. After all, the method of "corpse disintegration" was once very popular.

The old monster from the Demonic Sect wanting to enter the blessed land is most likely related to the Green-haired Immortal.

The Immortal of Corpse Dissection is not considered a true attainment of the Dao.

It's estimated that he's only slightly stronger than a master who has entered the Dao realm. After the Han Dynasty, during the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties, there were many methods for achieving the Immortal Corpse Dissolution.

"If that old monster really wants to open the cave heaven."

"The people inside should be safe for the time being. He won't rush to take action himself; he'll just wait for the evil energy to gather and break through the entrance to the cave."

A Gu worm appeared in the palm of the Five Immortals Sect Holy Maiden, who said to the Miao woman beside her, "Granny."

"This place is not far from the Hundred Demon Cave."

"You helped me set up the Blood Toad Devouring Spirit Technique. If it can truly open the cave, then it will be our time to make our move."

Not far from the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, Lu Shanjun was also frowning and watching.

Lu Shan Jun is a barbarian.

He knew nothing about formations, but the tiger was naturally very sensitive to evil energy. The evil energy inside was condensed and did not dissipate, but it did not go berserk. Lu Shanjun always felt that there was something else going on.

What's going on with this world?

"Not long ago, a dragon was born, and now another old monster from the demonic sect has appeared."

"Could it be that the world has truly changed?"

Lu Shanjun has already transformed into a half-human, half-tiger form. If a fight were to break out, his human form would not be able to withstand the force of the attack, and he might have to reveal his original form and directly use his tiger form to fight the enemy.

Lu Shanjun has not yet mastered supernatural powers. If a demon can attain enlightenment through human form, it can cultivate supernatural powers and secret techniques corresponding to its demonic body.

This old monster from the Demonic Sect has profound cultivation, while Lu Shanjun has only recently entered the Dao, so it's estimated that he will have a hard time gaining the upper hand.

"It's a pity that my brother isn't here."

"If he were here, I would transform into my tiger form, and the two of us could break through his Seven Fiends Formation directly." Lu Shanjun said with a regretful expression.

After he transformed into his original tiger form, he could no longer use many techniques because he no longer had a human body.

However, Duncan is very good at charging into battle.

If they rode mountain tigers and the young man wielded the Overlord Spear, they would not be intimidated even by a highly accomplished master from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Even in the Investiture of the Gods, he would probably only have a minor role for half an episode.

Hepu County.

The old monster from the demonic sect only surrounded them without attacking, commanding flying zombies as if waiting for something.

However, if anyone tried to escape, the flying corpses in the ghostly mist would immediately attack. Many of them were as strong as experts in the Innate Realm, and some were even ferocious ghosts that pounced out to devour flesh and blood. The martial arts experts tried to break through several times, but none of them could escape, and they immediately gave up.

However, there is one more person who wants to try.

Among the many trapped martial arts practitioners, there was an old man dressed as a foreigner from the southern border, who looked like a shaman from Southeast Asia. He secretly set up an altar and performed a ritual in the dark. Then, while the others were making their movements, his figure rose into the air like a ghost.

While others use their foot meridians to perform movement techniques, his technique involves surging magical power from between his eyebrows, causing his head and body to fly together.

—The Flying Head Technique.

After all, it can't just be a head that flies away; we still need to find a way to take the body with us.

"That person really is a flying head technique!"

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect said, "This time it's like throwing good money after bad."

puff!

Click!

It was as if a giant watermelon had exploded in the sky, with red and white scattering everywhere, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.

"Flying Head Technique?"

"Jie Jie!"

"Such a trivial skill, yet you dare to embarrass yourself like this!"

The old monster from the demonic sect smashed the man's head with a single palm strike, and soon evil spirits dragged the corpse away to feast on it.

He looked up at the sky; the blood moon hung high in the sky, it was already midnight.

"Go!"

"Have a hearty meal!"

The old monster of the Demonic Sect shook the bell, and the people of the Valley of Evil turned into walking corpses and flying corpses. Skinning Yama - Hu Sandao carried the Yin Banner that was inserted into the bluestone slab at the city gate. As a group of zombies and evil spirits surged out, the Yin soldiers gathered and charged directly into the county town.

The time has come.

Now all that remains is for the malevolent energy to surge into the sky, helping him break through the cave.

—"Heaven and Earth Crack - Dipper Shifts - Void Decree - Open!"

This old monster from the demonic sect stood on the Seven Stars of Heaven, as if performing a ritual, trying to break through something.

But it had no effect.

He has already transformed from a corpse into a ghost, so some spells can no longer be used.

—"Blood River Reversal - Corpse Gate Appears - Borrowing Path from the Nine Netherworlds - Open!"

If Taoist incantations don't work, then we'll resort to the secret methods of ghost witches.

In the dark.

As if something had been torn apart, even Duncan, who was fighting the ghostly soldiers who were borrowing a passage from the underworld in the distance, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

——Baoxuan Grotto Heaven (Blessed Land)!
What the hell!

On a dimensional level, above the city gate, it was as if a crack in reality had been torn open. Although it was only a tiny crack, even invisible to the naked eye, it had indeed broken through the spatial dimension and connected to an unknown place.

However, this old monster from the demonic sect seemed to lack sufficient power; his ebony sword only managed to cleave a small gash, indicating that his cultivation was not enough to truly tear through space.

at this time.

A tiger's roar echoed, shaking the entire world.

Lu Shanjun's Tiger Roar skill was becoming more and more advanced, and the boy immediately responded with the Lion Roar skill!

Roar!
A roar.

Duncan's expression instantly hardened, his killing intent raging. He no longer concealed his strength, his bloodthirsty aura condensing in his eyes, making them resemble eerie double pupils. With a palm strike from afar, he directly smashed the zombie in front of him into a pile of minced meat.

Since Lu Shanjun hadn't made a move yet, there was no need for him to rush into a killing spree!
Outside the city gate.

Upon hearing the Lion's Roar Technique, Lu Shanjun was overjoyed and let out another long roar. The Tiger's Roar Technique pierced through the thick ghostly mist as he laughed loudly, "Haha! It turns out that my brother is here too."

The whole world is open to us!

"A clumsy hand." Lu Shanjun struck out with his palm, and the city gate tower collapsed directly, revealing a huge palm print about three zhang in diameter. The upside-down coffin also crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Not far from Duncan, the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect seemed to hear a toad croaking and exclaimed with great joy, "That's wonderful!"

"The Holy Maiden has arrived too!"

She raised her fair wrist, and the little black snake shot out like lightning, actually entwining with her Five Poison Whip. The long whip cut through the air, the wind howled, and the black snake flew out, biting the walking corpse. In an instant, the walking corpse's whole body rotted, and in a short while, it turned into a pool of blood and flesh.

—Amitabha (Wonderful Buddhist sound).

As if a Buddhist kingdom had descended to earth, with a Zen chant, a scene of celestial flowers faintly appeared all around. This was a mental interference with reality, giving everyone the illusion of entering a wondrous Buddhist kingdom.

The masters of Tenryu-ji Temple.

Only they practice the secret methods of the 'Wonderful Fragrance Buddhist Kingdom'.

At this moment, all those who dared to come to Meichuan were experts, demons, and monsters from the Southern Frontier. Before, when the old monster from the Demonic Sect hadn't made a move, everyone could still hold back. But now, they were using all their trump cards.

A flash of cold light appeared!
In the darkness, as if a serpent were flicking its tongue, the figure of the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect appeared eerily. The long whip in her hand danced wildly like a celestial serpent, instantly slicing off the heads of several zombies. Then, a short serpent blade slashed through the void like a shooting star, and before anyone could react, it beheaded the old monster of the demonic sect.

Is this the end?
wrong!

The Five Immortals Sect's holy maiden cried out urgently, "Holy Maiden, be careful!"

Heads flew off.

But not a single drop of blood flowed out.

After the old monster of the demonic sect had his head severed, his body did not pause at all. He immediately used the Soul-Shocking Step, his ebony sword turning into a bloody light, the bell at his waist trembling, and talismans flying wildly in the air. For a moment, it was impossible to see clearly from the outside. All that could be seen was the figure of the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect flying backward, spitting out a sky full of blood in mid-air.

—Toad Taoist (Heavenly Demon Undying Body - Crippled) (Entering the Nine Netherworlds) (Six-Star Gold)!

The bell flew out and landed on the banner, buzzing.

The headless corpse of Toad Taoist held a wooden sword, its sword energy surging. With one hand reaching towards the sky, it caught its severed head, holding it in its palm. Its turbid eyes were still fixed on the direction of the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect.

"Jie Jie!"

"Who ambushed this humble Taoist? It turns out to be the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect!"

The headless corpse held a human head in one hand and brandished a sword aura with the other, its attack extremely domineering. The sword technique was called "Ghost God Sword Aura," which originated from the sacrificial dance of ancient witchcraft. Its movements were strange and belonged to the sword dance art during the Tang Dynasty.

This scene terrified the martial arts masters before them!
—The Blood Child Substitute Curse!

The headless corpse of Toad Taoist had its head reattached to its neck. An invisible, eerie red line snapped, and among the many walking corpses in the Valley of Villains, the head of Skin-Peeling Yama - Hu Sandao - was severed. The wound was incredibly smooth, as if it had been cut open by a serpentine dagger.

"Xingtian's Secret Technique: Blood Child's Immortal Body!"

Someone gasped.

Someone in the Demonic Sect actually succeeded in mastering it!
—"Xingtian and the Emperor fought here for divinity. The Emperor cut off his head and buried it on Changyang Mountain. Then he used his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth, and wielded a shield and axe to dance!"

"Xingtian wields his axe and shield, his fierce will forever remain!"

Only a truly powerful person can learn the supreme secret techniques of the Demonic Sect.

The figure of the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect soared into the air, like a celestial serpent dancing, an elusive and unpredictable shadow. The Five Immortals Sect's movement techniques originated from the sacrificial dances of ancient witchcraft. Although it is called lightness skill, outsiders cannot learn it at all. It requires unique secret techniques, and even the blessing rituals of witchcraft and dance. Some of them even require magical power.

She was clearly half-dead from her injuries before, but now she has recovered completely.

—The Heavenly Serpent Bone-Changing Technique!

—The Five Immortals' Great Magic!
A swirling miasma erupted, stirring up the malevolent spirits, which manifested in various colors such as red, blue, black, and white. The poisonous miasma merged into one, rendering even the most lifeless corpses unable to resist it. This extraordinary poisonous power has been mastered by few throughout the ages, but the Holy Maiden of this generation possesses exceptional talent, using the Five Immortals Technique to break through to the Dao realm within the Xuan Snake Cave.

The Five Immortals Sect's extraordinary skills correspond to the five poisons and the five elements, and are practiced through the liver and spleen meridians. To master these skills, one must first strengthen one's resistance to toxins. A slight mistake can lead to demonic possession and death from poisoning.

This lineage can also be considered a branch of medicine, but it has the inheritance of the Yan Emperor tribe. It is said that to achieve great success, one must take the Heartbreak Grass and enter a life-or-death situation.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect forged a unique path, using the five elements of extraordinary poisons to understand life and death, thus breaking through to the realm of Tao.

"Holy Maiden!"

"Catch the whip!"

The Five Immortals Sect's Holy Maiden lashed out with her Five Poison Whip. The whip itself wasn't important; what mattered was the black serpent. Once it fell into the Holy Maiden's hands, it vanished into her sleeve with lightning speed.

On this trip, the Holy Maiden didn't bring as many Gu Kings from the Five Immortals Sect. Against such bizarre enemies, she could only rely on the power of snakes and vipers.

If she brought all the Gu Kings of the Five Immortals Sect with her, her strength would only increase.

—The Thousand Spider Poison Hand.

With a single palm strike, the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect unleashed a devastating attack, like a bone-melting palm, instantly turning the several zombies blocking her path into a pool of blood. Her palm strike was accompanied by a raging torrent of poisonous energy and billowing miasma; it was impossible to tell whether it was a martial art from the Jianghu or a strange, unorthodox technique from the Miao region.

Jingle Bell!
The old monster from the demonic sect, whose head had been properly reattached, shook the Soul-Capturing Bell. He made a hand seal, and an invisible black shadow, unseen by the naked eye, flew out from between his eyebrows. Among everyone present, only Duncan could see the outline of the shadow from God's perspective.

The soul is out of body?

wrong!

It's a spiritual technique that allows one to enter the Dao realm!
The Five Immortals Sect's Holy Maiden's expression changed slightly. The snake coiled around her neck, protecting her body. Then, a beautiful woman's phantom emerged from her body and directly clashed with the flying black phantom from a distance.

—The Great Art of Separating the Soul!
The two people's physical bodies remained stationary, but the surging evil energy, poisonous gas, and miasma exploded, forming a vortex-like void several meters in diameter.

puff.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect spat out a mouthful of blood. That old monster from the demonic sect was truly terrifying in his cultivation; heaven knows what kind of pre-Qin secret technique he had obtained. The Five Immortals Sect's techniques were not good at direct confrontation. This old monster had already turned into a corpse. If he were still in a mortal body, she could have gained some advantage by relying on her poison skills.

However, there are only a few rare poisons that can work on the old monsters who have turned into corpses, and she did not bring the Heavenly Silkworm Gu King with her on this trip.

The earth trembled.

Just as the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect was severely injured and repelled, a burly figure, half-human and half-tiger, appeared from the direction of the city gate. Lu Shanjun's movement technique was not good; despite making the first move, he was actually a step slower than the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect.

"Let me test this old monster's skills!"

Lu Shanjun likes these tough enemies the most; fighting them is a good way to test the power of his mastery of the Great Clumsy Hand technique.

Blood Child's Immortality?

I'll smash you into a pile of minced meat, let's see if you're still alive!
Outside the battlefield.

Duncan still didn't go all out, but kept his attention on the hidden, eerie woman. She was dressed in blood-red green, and had no signs of life. He could only pinpoint her location from a god-like perspective. Her eyes were fixed on the old monster from the demonic sect, as if she was looking for an opportunity.

The three experts who had entered the Dao realm exerted their full strength.

Everything at the city gate had collapsed, and the spatial rift that the old monster of the demonic sect had created was gradually torn and enlarged due to the collision of the Dao experts, and even wisps of turbid air like green smoke surged out from it.

However, the Five Immortals Sect's Five Immortals Great Magic released poisonous miasma, which instead obscured the green smoke emanating from the Baoxuan Cave.

Demons danced wildly; it was a living hell.

Lu Shanjun struck down with unparalleled palm force, and the spiritual will and martial arts cultivation clashed fiercely, as if being torn apart, causing the crack above the city gate to widen even further.

Whether it was a trick of the eye or not, Duncan actually saw a figure covered in green hair behind the crack, with a pair of murky and sinister eyes peering into the mortal world through the fissure.

At the dimensional level.

A strange red dot flashed by.

—Corpse Dissolution Immortal (Three Corpses Condensed) (Seven Stars Blank Board)!

Faced with the combined attack of two experts at the Dao Realm, Toad Daoist's expression changed instantly. He frantically shook the Soul-Capturing Bell, and all the flying zombies he had summoned returned, protecting his figure under the Yin Banner.

"The Heavenly Gang moves in reverse, and the Earthly Fiends hang upside down!"

"I hereby command the Nine Netherworlds, and all ghosts shall heed my decree!"

"The Yin spirits return to their rightful place, blood stains the azure sky!"

"Soul-devouring and spirit-stealing, eternal damnation!"

"—As the law commands!!!"

The curse of ghosts and gods.

Aside from Yun Wangji, the sorcerer from Qinglang Pavilion, this was the first time Duncan had ever seen anyone wield so powerful magic, almost making him think he had returned to the mythological era.

The True Transmission of the Ghostly Path!

Countless ghosts surged out, as if the gates of hell had been opened. The phantoms of ten thousand ghosts gathered under the Yin Banner, and the Yin energy of the Nine Netherworlds enveloped the entire city gate. The mortal world appeared to be superimposed, transformed into a ghostly underworld like Mount Mang.

Lu Shanjun was not skilled in incantations. He roared and revealed the appearance of a fierce tiger. It was a South China tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead, several feet long, surrounded by a fierce aura. Even ghosts dared not approach it.

The tiger possesses a pure yang constitution, making it immune to most spells.

The Five Immortals Sect's Holy Maiden held a snake-like creature and chanted incantations. Poisonous energy permeated the surroundings, as if reflecting the venomous cave of the Xuan Snake. A faint, ethereal light surged within, giving Duncan a sense of familiarity.

The breath of all spirits!
But it wasn't the myriad spirits he was familiar with; rather, it was an existence based on a different kind of animism, somewhat like the Five Immortals of the Liaodong Shamanism.

"The spider weaves its web, the centipede on the ground..."

A venomous dragon coils around the neck, and a toad presses down on the palace.
The Snake Mother opens her eyes, awakening a thousand poisonous creatures.

A chilling wind rises from the bottom of the Pool of Ten Thousand Corpses.

With a loud shout, the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect unleashed the reflections of the Five Immortals and Five Poisons spirits behind her, resembling the transformation of Gu poisons, with countless snake shadows filling the sky. It was unclear whether these were formed from true energy or from spiritual magic.

"Those who burn incense disrespectfully!"
Those who cross the line will not kneel!
Those who do not avoid being cursed!
—Completely destroyed, body and soul!

One must possess all five poisons to attain immortality.

Behind the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, a thousand spiders and ten thousand snakes were reflected, as if her primordial spirit had left her body. Her true energy surged, and her black hair danced wildly. From God's perspective, which was invisible to the naked eye, countless venomous snakes seemed to bite out as thin as hair.

Lu Shanjun was a little confused.

Fu Jianhan was completely dumbfounded.

Lu Shanjun had just broken through to the Dao Realm. He had only fought against the Mo Jiao who had transformed into a dragon before. However, the Mo Jiao was focused on transforming into a dragon and did not use any secret techniques. It was a victory for the Mo Jiao to be able to enter the sea alive.

Today, they encountered a peerless master who had truly entered the Dao realm for a long time, and in one fell swoop, Lu Shanjun was forced to reveal his true form as a fierce tiger.

The two collided.

The Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect turned pale, as if she had been poisoned by corpse poison, while the Toad Taoist's face turned blackish-purple. With the five poisons entering his body, even his corpse-turned body could not withstand it, and he actually began to grow red hair all over his body, for reasons unknown.

The malevolent energy has become increasingly uncontrollable.

Click!

As if something had shattered, a strange green smoke surged into the world before anyone else could fully perceive it.

Outside the city gate.

The woman in green whom Duncan had been watching suddenly moved. Her movements were no longer considered martial arts lightness skills; only a blur could be seen, like a red-clad female ghost. After appearing, she swept towards the Toad Taoist under the Yin Banner. Then, her hands seemed to gather the energy of the underworld, transforming into ghost claws that instantly pierced through the abdomen of this old monster from the demonic sect, pulling something out of his stomach.

Like gold and jade, a round bead, so small that it's impossible to see clearly.

"It's you?!"

The old monster of the demonic sect looked horrified. As his abdomen was pierced and something was taken out, his mark also changed. The mark of 'Heavenly Demon Undying Body' transformed into 'Blood Child Undying Body'.

The woman in blood-red green swallowed the strange bead. Her originally elusive and eerie figure, which resembled both a human and a ghost, changed, and even a shadow appeared.

"The Treasure Mystery Grotto-Heaven has opened!"

"You won't help me?"

The Toad Taoist seemed to be terrified of the woman in green. He raised his wooden sword and used a barrage of sword energy to force her back. The flying zombies and fierce ghosts around him dared not approach her. Wherever he went, almost all ghosts and gods fled.

Rumble!
A bolt of divine lightning descended from the sky.

After the Toad Taoist shouted, a woman dressed in a magnificent Taoist robe and wearing a lotus crown appeared from outside the thicket of ghostly mist. She seemed to be both male and female, and she let out a soft laugh: "The cave has been opened."

"Why don't you, Toad Taoist, catch up with the old ancestor?"

"I'll be right back."

—Fan Hu Zi (Six-star Gold).

The woman's figure seemed to ride the wind. Just as she was about to disappear into the torn void, she let out a muffled groan. In an instant, the sky revealed an unusual phenomenon. A figure covered in green hair appeared. Fan Hu Zi looked very wary. He gathered lightning magic in his palm and struck out. The lightning snakes danced wildly, and the exploding lightning shot out in all directions like a thunderstorm.

"The Immortal of Corpse Dissection?!"

Before they could react, the shattered space seemed to unleash a suction force, the blessed land opened, and the core members were forced to ascend and were directly sucked into it.

Duncan's expression changed not far away. He gathered true energy in his palm, and the exploding lightning fell into his palm. He used his true energy to control the lightning technique and guided it with metal. The electric snakes moved and protected Fu Jianhan and the others beside him. Then he guided the lightning into the ground.

Crackling!

After a burst of lightning swirled around his body, all the electric snakes around him disappeared, having been completely neutralized by him.

The Jade-Faced Lady has been teaching me a lot lately.

However, other martial arts masters in the vicinity were not so lucky.

Those with bad luck were struck dead on the spot, while those with good luck were charred and cracked. Only experts at the Innate Realm could barely withstand the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique.

"What should we do now?"

Fu Jianhan stared at the torn-open gate to the cave, his expression a mixture of curiosity and awe; this was beyond his usual role as a mere spectator.

Duncan hesitated for a moment, watching Lu Shanjun leap into the blessed land, then said without further hesitation, "I want to go in and take a look."

Come here.

What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we can just flip the table. With Lord Lushan around, we can cooperate and protect ourselves no matter what.

Duncan's figure shot into the sky like a rocket, disappearing directly into the void. The experts from the Southern Frontier were horrified; some wanted to escape, while others were itching to make a move.

Fu Jianhan hesitated for only a moment, then gritted his teeth and leaped into the air.

"Hey bro! Wait for me!"

Ignoring the obstruction of those around her, the Voodoo Cult saintess lashed out with her long whip, wrapping it around Duncan's ankle. He glanced back, grabbed the whip, and lifted it, sending her soaring into the sky. In his daze, Duncan seemed to see Miss Sun's figure. She too stared in shock at the strange phenomenon in mid-air, where the heavens and earth seemed to have torn apart, as if revealing a gap.

After a moment's hesitation, a graceful figure stepped through the air and entered the cave with elegant, jade-like steps.

Everything before my eyes is changing rapidly.

Duncan felt as if he had landed amidst towering mountains, with no end in sight; the area of ​​this cave was even larger than he had anticipated.

The Baoxuan Grotto Heaven has a circumference of 180 li.

Below him was a sheer cliff, hundreds of feet high. True energy and malevolent energy surged forth like a cannonball, propelling Duncan's figure straight into the sky. His palms, as hard as metal, instantly pierced into the solid rock, stabilizing his body.

——Baoxuan Cave Heaven.

At the dimensional level, all space has changed, and markers have appeared in God's view.

There are quite a few people who are not afraid of death and dare to come in.

Give it a try.

Perhaps one can become an immortal and attain eternal life.

Fu Jianhan's figure fell from the sky. His movement technique was not good. If he could not stabilize his body, he would probably be half dead. Duncan did not hesitate. He clapped his hands and directly shattered the boulder. Then he threw it out. Fu Jianhan reacted quickly. He took a breath and used the momentum in mid-air to step on the stone. His figure soared into the air.

Sonorous!

The Qingfeng sword was drawn and pierced directly into the stone wall, landing firmly less than ten feet away from the boy.

"Brother! Help me!" Then came another exclamation.

Duncan reached out and grabbed the long whip, then with a sudden jerk, flung the lithe figure over the hundred-foot cliff.

He possessed the skills of Shakyamuni throwing an elephant and Xiang Yu lifting a tripod, and his divine strength was astonishing.

How did they all get in?

Miss Sun's figure was like a butterfly flitting among flowers, her breath flowing through the air. She moved with ease near the hundred-foot cliff as if it were flat ground. This kind of terrain was the most skilled for doctors gathering herbs. She landed lightly on an ancient pine tree on the cliff, glanced at it, and exclaimed with delight, "A hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"

In this situation, you still have the mood to gather herbs!

This blessed land is almost turning into a battle royale.

Duncan zoomed in on his God's-eye view to the limit. The surrounding area was filled with countless red dots. He couldn't tell if it was because many experts had entered or if the place was inherently dangerous.

In the direction closest to them, a woman in flowing white robes, with skin as white as snow, landed on the other side of the cliff.

Lu Qiongxian.

This woman was accompanied by several pale-faced eunuchs, all of whom were top-notch martial arts masters.

A waterfall cascades down.

The two exchanged a glance from two or three hundred feet apart. Lu Qiongxian then took flight, stepping directly on the waterfall's flow, drifting like a fallen leaf towards the distant valley.

At this distance, apart from experts at the Dao Realm, very few people can fly over.
