Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 337 Devouring. (First Update!)

The night is deep and seemingly endless.

Large and small lumps wriggled, covered in sticky pus, spreading across the land and reaching the entire Taiping County.

Boom boom boom...

The sounds of fierce fighting continued incessantly, the earth trembled and cracked, and the earth springs surged and billowed with sulfurous fumes.

【Iron Tree Prison】"Weirdness" has once again been thrown into an abyss filled with bones.

Mu Xiangu stood in mid-air, the huge, pale arms behind her were mostly broken, her Yin energy was severely depleted, and her cold gaze looked down at the abyss below.

At the bottom of the abyss, there was originally a mountain of bones. Except for the upper part of the bones which were still somewhat pale, the ancient bones at the bottom had rotted into dust and mixed with the silt, making them difficult to distinguish.

At this moment, all these skeletons were writhing strangely, turning into countless grayish-white tentacles that climbed and surged along the mountain wall covered with broken runes.

The traces of the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Array vanished inch by inch in this surge.

The dark chains protruding from inside the mountain wall are also constantly collapsing and breaking.

【Iron Tree Prison】The “weird” body has been completely covered by tumors and pustules. At this moment, it is almost impossible to see the appearance of the skulls gathered together. It looks like a human face formed by the tumors and pustules.

Even the holes in his eye sockets and mouth began to show traces of tumors and pustules.

Just as Mu Xiangu was about to make another move, the tentacles at the bottom of the abyss suddenly stretched out and wrapped around the "Strange Iron Tree Prison" from all directions. Even the few remaining black chains hanging on the mountain wall seemed to have suddenly gained some power, and suddenly grew larger and fiercely pierced into the "Strange Iron Tree Prison" body.

The already severely injured [Iron Tree Prison] was "weird," and its yin energy rapidly dissipated. Its aura declined precipitously, like a punctured ball.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xiangu was slightly taken aback, not knowing what had happened.

But she reacted quickly, and the pale, enormous arms behind her immediately slammed towards the "weird" Iron Tree Prison!
Boom boom boom...

The mountain wall trembled continuously, and large chunks of rock, along with dust and sand, fell down, filling the abyss with dust and smoke, like a thick fog.

【Iron Tree Prison】"Strange and unpredictable" was blasted to pieces, and pus splattered everywhere.

Its yin energy dissipated rapidly, and the densely packed tumors and pustules were swept away and devoured completely by the grayish-white tentacles in the abyss.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xiangu did not relax her vigilance at all, her eyes still fixed on the abyss below.

This "Iron Tree Prison" is "strange" and seems to be able to constantly reform and take shape based on the remaining resentment in Taiping County!
She had already scattered the "weird" creature twice, but she was unable to completely kill it.

I wonder what will happen this time...

Just then, Mu Xiangu seemed to realize something and immediately looked at the array of arms behind her.

The arms that she had just struck in the "strange" Iron Tree Prison were now sprouting large and small tumors and pustules!
As these abscesses and sarcomas spread, they continued to wriggle, as if something was flowing back into her body down her arm.

Mu Xiangu's expression changed, and he immediately took action, severing all the arms covered with pustules and tumors!

In an instant, her entire body was filled with a surge of yin energy. Her severed arm fell into the abyss, and before it had fully reached the bottom, it was entangled by gray-white tentacles. The yin energy on it was absorbed by the earth in the blink of an eye.

Mu Xiangu snorted coldly, and was about to make a move to clear away all the tentacles in the abyss when his figure suddenly disappeared.

※※※

The outskirts of Taiping County were now riddled with holes, bearing the marks of a great battle.

The ghost bride stood in mid-air, continuously striking out with her palms at the enormous, mountain-like ghost in the distance.

Swish, swish, swish... Layer upon layer of crimson palm energy transformed into a surging sea of ​​blood, rolling like a tidal wave, almost covering the entire earth.

Boom boom boom boom…

The earth seemed to have turned into liquid, undulating like flowing water. All the pustules and tumors that covered the ground were smashed to ashes and could not survive in the dramatic ups and downs.

The massive, mountain-like ghost was also shattered into pieces, turning into countless flying debris.

Seeing this, the ghost bride was certain that the power of this ghost came entirely from that [Nine Netherworld Treasure]!
However, that [Nine Netherworld Treasure] doesn't possess much Yin energy. As long as we don't use ghost techniques, Yin arts, or spells... and just keep competing with direct force, the opponent will undoubtedly lose!

Just as they were pondering, they saw the tumors and pustules on the ground that had been smashed and vanished suddenly converge rapidly in one direction. In the blink of an eye, these tumors and pustules once again coalesced into a ghostly body as large as a mountain.

He still resembled the King of Hell, complete with his imperial robes, but the yin energy around him had noticeably decreased.

Seemingly sensing the ghost bride's intentions, this time, as soon as the ghost appeared, it suddenly stretched out its hands and plunged them into the earth. The earth, which had just returned to normal, instantly sprouted countless sticky tentacles. These tentacles were numerous, numbering in the thousands, and all wrapped around the ghost bride.

Just as the ghost bride was about to dodge, her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed beneath the bright red veil of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and she abruptly turned her head to look in the direction of the abyss in Taiping County.

This [Nine Netherworld Treasure] wants to devour the "weird" Yin energy of that [Iron Tree Prison]!

In a flash, the ghost bride did not hesitate, narrowly avoiding the tentacles from entangling her, and then struck out with all her might again.

A sea of ​​blood appeared out of nowhere, carrying an incomparably powerful force, and roared as it attacked the enormous ghost.

The enormous ghost neither dodged nor flinched; its hands, pierced into the earth, showed no sign of retracting.

Boom boom boom! !

With a deafening roar, the ghost was once again blasted into dust.

However, looking at the empty space, the ghost bride felt no joy at all.

She looked again toward the abyss of Taiping County, where the eerie aura of the [Iron Tree Prison] had vanished!

Under normal circumstances, the power of this [Nine Netherworld Treasure] is insufficient to directly devour that "strange" [Iron Tree Prison].

However, that "Iron Tree Prison" was rather "unpredictable" and lacked intelligence. Before being devoured, it absorbed a large amount of the power of the "Nine Nether Relics" in order to fight a powerful enemy. In turn, it was parasitized by the power of the "Nine Nether Relics," which led to the current situation...

clack clack...

At this moment, on the open ground not far away, the enormous ghost resembling the King of Hell reformed.

The ghost slowly straightened its back, but did not continue to attack. Instead, it turned its head to look in Zheng Que's direction, its voice filled with rage: "Guilty!"

"Guilty...should be punished!"

Feeling the thunderous pressure in the other party's shout, the Ghost Bride's expression immediately turned serious. She quickly stood in front of the other party to prevent the [Nine Netherworld Treasure] from going directly to Zheng Que.

However, at this moment, she was very puzzled to find that after absorbing the "strange" Yin energy of the [Iron Tree Prison], the Yin energy of this huge ghost that resembled Yama did not increase at all.

On the contrary, because it had just been shattered by his own palm strike, its overall yin energy level had decreased even further...

Was it that powerful figure from the underworld who intervened and stripped this [Nine Netherworld Treasure] of its ability to absorb Yin energy?

Realizing this, the ghost bride sneered and immediately attacked again...

boom! ! !
