Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 336 Weakness. (Second Update!)

The enormous ghost had been standing still, but the moment the ghost bride stretched out her palm, it seemed to sense a great danger and instantly fled to the side.

brush!
The creature's body was enormous, yet its movements were incredibly swift, as if it were teleporting. In an instant, it appeared in the distance, like a mountain suddenly appearing in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost stretched out its arm, which was covered in pustules, and made a grabbing motion from a distance toward the ghost bride.

The ghost bride immediately felt a tremendous sense of crisis descend upon her. With a flick of her wide sleeve, she also dodged to the side, avoiding the other party's grasp.

"Is it also [Soul Binding]?"

Sensing the familiar, subtle fluctuations in the void, the ghost bride was surprised. This was the power she had just gained after being promoted to a higher rank in the underworld!
But this ghostly creature, controlled by the [Nine Netherworld Treasures], can also do that!
In the blink of an eye, the ghost bride did not hesitate and immediately struck out with another palm strike towards the enormous ghost.

As soon as the palm was unleashed, a thick blood mist rose into the void, spreading rapidly in mid-air, resembling a semi-transparent sea of ​​blood suspended in mid-air. The waves surged and churned, and along with the force of the palm, it enveloped the surrounding world, slamming down on the enormous ghost with overwhelming momentum.

The enormous ghost immediately dodged to the side, but the area covered by the blood mist was simply too vast, and the next moment...

Bang! !

The spot where it was located was instantly slapped into a huge palm print, deeply dented into the ground, with a clean and smooth cut, and inside was a bright red color, with heat and blood mist slowly rising.

The massive ghost's body was blasted away in half, leaving a bright red wound. Yin energy surged continuously, seemingly trying to heal, but was blocked by the power of the blood mist, unable to break through even an inch.

But soon, the enormous ghost's body trembled with yin energy, and after a rapid wriggling motion, the blood mist stained with its wounds was shattered, and it was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Then, the ghost pointed at the ghost bride and said in an icy voice, "Kill!"

A swirling black mist suddenly appeared behind the enormous ghostly creature. Upon closer inspection, this so-called black mist was formed by countless ghostly figures.

These ghostly figures, with human-like outlines, were dressed solemnly and wore ornaments with a token strung on their waists, resembling underworld officials.

However, the writing on those tokens was all blurry and indistinct.

After the ghostly figures appeared, they did not hesitate for a moment and immediately swarmed towards the ghost bride, like billowing smoke and surging black mist.

As the ghostly figures charged forward, their bodies were constantly changing, rapidly growing pustules and tumors. Even the tokens hanging at their waists transformed into pustules filled with yellowish-green pus, seemingly about to burst at any moment.

Seeing this, the ghost bride did not hesitate and immediately cast a spell, circulating yin energy around her and covering herself with a layer of blood mist.

The blood mist spread rapidly after it appeared, engulfing her figure in the blink of an eye.

Puff puff……

The moment the ghostly figure plunged into the blood mist, its body instantly rotted, the fluid flowing from the pustules on its body quickly fell to the ground, and the tumors continued to explode.

The blood mist successfully blocked the impact of the many ghostly figures, but the next moment, this viscous blood mist also began to boil and surge, and large and small pustules and tumors grew in the mist, like a writhing, illusory mass of flesh and blood.

The ghost bride's figure immediately emerged from the depths of the blood mist, and then pointed a finger at the brow of the enormous ghost.

Whoosh!
A beam of blood-red light shot out, instantly striking the piece of broken wood between the brows of the enormous ghost.

The splinter of wood embedded between the ghost's brows instantly disappeared into its body. At the same time, the massive ghost's yin energy surged, and a fleshy tumor the size of a peach grew between its brows. The ghost raised its enormous hand, which seemed to blot out the sun, and grabbed at the oncoming blood-red light.

puff!
The blood-red light pierced through the ghost's hand in an instant, and then quickly pierced through the eyeballs formed by the tassels that obscured its face. However, it was ultimately blocked by the fleshy tumor between the ghost's eyebrows.

The ghost bride snorted coldly, immediately realizing that she couldn't compete with this [Nine Netherworld Treasure] in ghost techniques and spells; she should directly test her cultivation!
This [Nine Netherworld Treasure] didn't absorb the "strange" Yin energy from that [Iron Tree Prison] earlier, so its power is currently limited!
With that in mind, the ghost bride struck again...

Boom boom boom...

In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que looked down at Gao Yinxia.

The disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect was still in a daze and had not reacted at all.

Zheng Que had already turned to the first page of the Book of Life and Death and placed his hand on the uneven bronze door crack.

Below the steps, a vast expanse of darkness suddenly descended.

Nine towering gates appeared, enormous gates with faint light emanating from their edges, spiraling downwards, exuding an aura of hell—cold, harsh, and merciless—filling the entire hall.

Gao Yinxia remained standing in the same spot, her expression blank, her eyes unfocused, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Que suddenly felt a little strange.

If a ghost enters this place, even if it has no intelligence, it will be quickly frightened by the aura of the underworld and will try its best to show its fear and submission by desperately kowtowing.

But Gao Yinxia is a living person...

Zheng Que suddenly remembered that when he entered this underworld before he became a Daoist, it was the same. At that time, he was completely dazed and didn't know anything. He could only regain consciousness after leaving the underworld and waking up. The whole process was like having an uncontrollable dream...

Is Gao Yinxia in the same situation now?

Thinking of this, Zheng Que shook his head slightly. Holding the Book of Life and Death in one hand and the gavel in the other, he quickly walked down to the courtroom, pushed open the gates of the Tongue-Pulling Hell, then hoisted Gao Yinxia up and threw her inside.

Next, he returned to the hall and was about to turn back to the third page of the Book of Life and Death when he discovered that a dense array of names had suddenly appeared on the first page in front of him.

"...Bao Hui. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 18 years, 2 months and 16 days. Died at 1:15 PM due to blood refinement."

"...Xiao Bing'er. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 23 years, 11 months and 4 days. Died at 11:45 AM due to blood refinement."

"...Lu Ren. Place of origin: Taiping County, Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty. Lifespan: 15 years, 8 months and 29 days. He died at the end of the Chou hour due to being subjected to blood purification."

Looking at these newly added names, Zheng Que quickly glanced at them and immediately felt reassured.

These names all belong to young adults, and all of them died from being subjected to bloodshed.

These are the "materials" that were once refined in blood in Taiping County!
Yes, these are the "mysterious" names of that [Iron Tree Prison]!
