Chapter 568 Blood Sacrifice for Treasure Refining (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Excellent! I'll use this blood to refine more of the restrictions within the treasure. I'm going to completely master the 'Purple Gold Gourd'!"

Li Yunjing manipulated the "Purple Gold Gourd" to frantically absorb the power of the Blood River. The ancient runes on the surface of the gourd were stained with blood, but instead, they burst out with an even stronger suction force.

This overjoyed him!
It's important to know that refining such a precious treasure takes a very long time.

What Li Yunjing lacks most is time!

Now that he has external help and shortened the time, how could he not be happy!

Blood sacrifice is an important method for refining magical artifacts!
But how could Li Yunjing dare to continue using this method?
How much blood does he have?
As for using other people's blood?
He is the deputy head of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and one of the leaders of the righteous path.

How could there be a large-scale blood sacrifice?
Even when killing demonic beasts, you can't go so far as to carve out a river of blood!
This kind of thing is hard to put into words.

The reputation of a prestigious sect is more important than anything else, and as a loyal disciple of the sect, Li Yunjing naturally puts his heart and soul into the sect's honor.

Now, engaging in battle with the enemy and using the Blood River summoned by the enemy to refine magical artifacts has become a legitimate method.

Li Yunjing even secretly put all the magical treasures into the "Purple Gold Gourd".

These magical treasures are hidden in the cave world, with the "Chaos Palace" as the central hub, continuously driving these bloods to flow through each of the treasures.

"how is this possible?"

"A magical treasure from a hidden cave!"

The eleven Yin generals' expressions changed drastically. Their famous "Netherworld Blood River Formation" poured into the gourd like water bursting its banks, even pulverizing the vengeful spirits gathered within the formation.

This left the eleven people feeling somewhat hopeless!
"This can't go on!"

The leader of the Yin generals roared and hurled out the bone banner. The white bone totem on the banner suddenly lit up and transformed into a pitch-black chain that wrapped around the gourd's neck.

"Little tricks!"

Li Yunjing, with his three heads and six arms, simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed the "Five Elements Divine Fist," which sent the chains flying.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he lunged forward, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," imbued with the power of the five elements, slashed down, actually cutting a foot-long gash in the bone banner that had been refined for many years.

"This kid is amazing!"

Seeing this, the Yin generals were terrified and unleashed their life-bound magical treasures in an attempt to break through the encirclement.

"when……"

At this moment, however, the sound waves from the "ancient bronze bell" caused his meridians to reverse, and the black blood he vomited was mixed with bone fragments.

"Today I will show you the power of the Divine Firmament Daoist arts!"

Li Yunjing formed a lightning seal with his fingertips, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl suddenly erupted from his palm.

This is no ordinary thunder magic, but a "chaotic divine thunder" that combines "five elements divine thunder" and "yin-yang divine thunder"!
The gray lightning, wherever it passed, caused the black mist bodies of the Yin Generals to hiss and smoke, even suppressing their restorative power.

Seeing that he was no match for the enemy, the eleventh Yin General suddenly bit his tongue and spat out his blood essence. His body was covered with dense corpse spots: "Let's perish together!"

His body expanded at a visible speed, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash a forbidden self-destruction technique.

Li Yunjing's pupils contracted sharply. He swung the Heavenly Net to catch the entire person and then flung him towards the altar pillar.

"boom!"

The violent explosion shook the entire Ghost Palace, and the blood-red stone pillar snapped in response, causing the Netherworld energy within the crack to become chaotic.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Yin generals abandoned their companions and fled in all directions.

Would Li Yunjing give them a chance?

The death rays emitted by the "Yin-Yang Mirror" were like a persistent thorn, instantly piercing the foreheads of the three Yin Generals.

The "Myriad Lotus Lanterns" transformed into a stream of light, catching up with the Yin Marshal who had fled the furthest, and the purifying fire burned him to ashes.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had killed so many of the twelve Yin Generals that only half remained.

"You... are you human or a demon...?"

The leader of the Yin forces huddled in a corner of the altar, his bone banner tattered and broken, his eyes filled with despair.

Originally, the Ghost Fiend Palace thought they had a very high chance of winning this ambush against the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.

However, after actually fighting against the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", they realized the difference between a top-tier sect and a behemoth sect.

Li Yunjing shattered the blue bricks on the ground. The "Azure Dragon" and "White Tiger" guardian deities protected him, and the heavy pressure almost suffocated the remaining six Yin Marshals.

For the first time, the six ruthless killers felt death so close to them.

The leader of the Yin generals waved his banner, intending to summon the ghost soldiers of the underworld, but Li Yunjing changed his fingertip lightning technique, and the chaotic divine lightning transformed into a rain of swords that cleaved the still-forming ghost soldiers into dust.

"There's no escape."

Li Yunjing's voice was icy cold. The suction force of the "Purple Gold Gourd" and the sound waves of the ancient bell formed a vortex, directly pulling the two Yin Marshals into it. The purifying fire of the "Myriad Lotus Lantern" followed closely behind, instantly turning them into nothingness.

"Fellow Taoist, spare your life!"

The remaining four Yin Generals were terrified and knelt down, kowtowing in unison: "We are willing to offer up a wisp of our divine consciousness, begging you to have pity on our difficult cultivation!"

"Living is far more terrifying than dying! Killing you would be a relief."

Li Yunjing waved his hand back, and the "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" shot out two beams of black light.

The two Yin generals' pupils shrank drastically as they saw their own festering hearts reflected in the mirror. They screamed and turned to ashes. The remaining two were about to disappear into the ground when they were pinned to a blood-red stone pillar by the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

"Please, please give me a quick death..."

The leader of the Yin forces trembled all over as he watched Li Yunjing draw the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

Chaotic sword energy surged on the sword, stabbing out streaks of "chaotic sword energy" at them.

The moment the sword energy pierced his brow, the Yin energy of the entire "Ghost Fiend Hall" solidified, and the fragments of the Twelve Yin Generals' bone banners erupted in the air with a mournful shriek before finally dissipating in the light of purification.

Li Yunjing did not use falsehoods to deceive him.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" captured prisoners, who lived a miserable life until their deaths.

Even ordinary cultivators cannot withstand it.

For a master, death is a liberation, far better than becoming a slave to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

After eliminating the Twelve Yin Generals, Li Yunjing looked around to make sure there were no other dangers before raising his eyes to look at the Netherworld Vortex in the center of the altar.

At this moment, the vortex had shrunk to about ten feet, and the light of the "Soul-Capturing Pearl" was about to fall off.

Clearly, in the struggles outside, even the Lord of the Ghost Fiend Palace was no match for the combined forces of Elder Lei Ze, Peak Master Dan Ding, and Elder Jiu You.

“Now!!”

With a loud shout, Li Yunjing unleashed all his power.

"boom!"

The second stone pillar collapsed with a crash, and the ghostly aura within the crack immediately became chaotic.

Spiderweb-like cracks also appeared on the blood-red array plate on the altar.

The vortex within the crack spun wildly, faintly emanating the roar of the Netherworld.

The sword energy of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" descended like the creation of heaven and earth, the blood-red array plate shattered with a roar, and the projection of the Soul-Seizing Pearl emitted a piercing shriek, turning into thousands of light points and dissipating in the air.

The Netherworld Vortex trembled violently, and space began to collapse.

The power of the five elements, the yin and yang energies, the might of thunder, and the power of dragon and tiger all surged into the crack at the same time. The pitch-black vortex slowly closed as if it were being stitched together, and finally turned into a tiny point of light and disappeared.

In the instant before the collapse, Li Yunjing used the "Thunder Escape Technique" to rush out of the hall.

At the same time, a deafening roar came from the outside world.

Looking through the seawater, Li Yunjing saw that Elder Lei Ze's "Thunder Pattern Spear" had pierced through the chest of the "Ghost Fiend Hall" master, and the "Soul-Capturing Pearl" had exploded into countless drops of blood in mid-air.

The three Supreme Elders stood side by side, with the cannons of the "Divine Firmament Warship" behind them constantly roaring, crushing the remaining Yin soldiers into dust.

As Li Yunjing walked out of the "Ghost Fiend Hall" holding fragments of the Twelve Yin Marshals' bone banner, the dark clouds over the Netherworld Sea were being dispersed by the rising sun, and golden waves rippled across the surface of the sea.

"Yun Jing, how's the crack?"

The peak master of Dan Ding handed him a recovery pill, his gaze falling on his blood-stained robes.

"Completely destroyed."

Li Yunjing swallowed the pill, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, and a confident smile appeared on his lips: "'Ghost Fiend Palace' is no longer capable of turning the tide." "Good lad!"

Elder Lei Ze laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "You were able to kill twelve Golden Core Realm experts all by yourself, which is beyond my imagination!"

The sea breeze brushed against the hem of everyone's clothes, carrying a slightly salty and fishy smell.

On the sea, the three Supreme Elders stood side by side, the light of the "Divine Firmament Warship" piercing through the gloom of the Nether Sea and illuminating this sea area that had regained its tranquility.

"Let's go! Let's continue to wipe out the 'Demon Control Sect,' so that the entire East Sea can see the consequences of daring to scheme against the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

After cleaning up the battlefield and moving countless resources out of the "Ghost Fiend Hall," Elder Lei Ze grinned broadly, revealing a radiant smile.

Slaughtering out entire families and sects is the fastest way to get rich!

The Ghost Fiend Palace is a top-tier sect, and its master's cultivation level is considered formidable even among those in the Nascent Soul realm.

The vast power he built, because it could communicate with the "Nine Netherworlds," remained extremely strong, acquiring much territory and resources.

Now, all these resources have fallen into the hands of Li Yunjing and his three companions.

The deck of the "Divine Firmament Warship" was piled high with boxes of resources collected from the "Ghost Fiend Palace".

Elder Lei Ze casually grabbed a box, and when the lid was opened, it shone with golden light.

It was filled with top-grade spirit stones, each one gleaming with a warm luster in the morning sun.

Dan Ding Peak Master brushed the box surface with his sleeve and had already calculated the number: "At least 30,000 high-grade spirit stones. The 'Ghost Fiend Palace' is indeed rolling in money."

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds squatted in front of a pile of ancient books, her eyes brightening slightly as she flipped through them with her delicate hands.

She pulled out a black book with a skull embroidered on the cover. The pages were yellowed but without a trace of mold. It was the long-lost fragment of the "Netherworld Soul Refining Technique".

"If such evil arts were to spread into the world, it would surely unleash a reign of terror and bloodshed."

Her fingertips surged with spiritual energy, turning the ancient texts to ashes, but she had already memorized all their contents.

The "Ghost Fiend Hall" possesses a secret method for communicating with the "Nine Netherworlds," which is extremely tempting to the Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds.

Li Yunjing's attention was drawn to a pile of magical treasures.

Although the bone banners of the Twelve Yin Generals were shattered, the fragments still emitted strange fluctuations. He carefully put them into the "Purple Gold Gourd," intending to break them down for other uses later.

Without any formalities, the four of them directed the "Divine Firmament Warship" toward the "Demon Extermination Sect" while simultaneously clearing supplies on the deck and distributing them among themselves.

Li Yunjing's contribution was significant, and the three Supreme Elders were generous enough to give him a share as well.

The resources here will be divided equally among the four of us.

How much resources can a top-tier sect accumulate?
This is simply an astronomical figure!
Even if it's divided equally among four people, or even among four hundred people, everyone can make a fortune!
One by one, the boxes were opened, and after the resources were allocated, they were all put into the four people's "storage rings".

At this moment, Li Yunjing found a bronze box in the corner of the deck. When he opened it, a blood-red bead rolled out of it. It was the core of the array used by the "Ghost Fiend Hall" to maintain the crack.

"This thing... might be used to deduce the spiritual energy patterns of the 'Nine Nether Lands'."

He muttered to himself as he showed the bead to the other three Supreme Elders. After receiving their permission, he put it into his storage ring.

One day later, all the supplies had been distributed.

The most amazing find was the "storage rings" belonging to the master of the "Ghost Fiend Hall".

Elder Lei Ze forcibly broke the restriction with the power of thunder, and the treasures that poured out made everyone's pupils shrink.

Three warm-colored "Breaking Through Tribulations Pills" lay quietly in the jade box. These were rare treasures that could help people break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage!
Upon seeing this, the Peak Master of Dan Ding immediately took out a jade bottle: "This item needs to be preserved with innate spiritual fire. It is safest to entrust it to me for safekeeping."

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds glanced at him, but tacitly agreed to the suggestion.

After all, in the entire "Shenxiao Dao Sect", only Dan Ding Peak can refine the matching preservation pills.

"And these."

Li Yunjing pointed to the mountain of monster materials, ranging from the fangs of the Netherworld Poison Spider to the reverse scales of the Bone Dragon.

The Dan Ding Peak Master stroked his chin: "It's perfect for improving the Self-Destruction Battle Pill. If we encounter a group of Yin soldiers attacking again, one pill will be enough to clear them out."

Elder Lei Ze picked up a box of lightning-attribute materials and grinned, saying, "My lightning-patterned spear is in need of some auxiliary materials for tempering, and this Netherworld Cold Iron is just right."

"Let's go! Charge towards the 'Demon-Suppressing Sect'!"

When the inventory was finished, Elder Lei Ze patted his belly with a smug look on his face: "I heard their treasure vault is no less than that of the 'Ghost Fiend Palace'! I'm even thinking of wreaking havoc in the East Sea and slaughtering all the demonic sects one by one!"

Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, the fatigue from the previous battle dissipating in the joy of their victory.

Li Yunjing stood at the bow of the boat, his face also beaming with joy.

This time, he was allocated a fortune of over 10 billion, including two pieces of fourth-tier materials and other third-tier resources, almost without any regard for their value.

If these things were used for refining weapons, alchemy, setting up formations, drawing talismans, or making puppets, it would take him twenty or thirty years to finish them!
And this doesn't even include the underwater spiritual veins of the "Ghost Fiend Palace"!

After Li Yunjing and his three companions destroyed the "Ghost Fiend Palace," they had a dispute over the fourth-order spiritual vein, but ultimately decided to leave it and not destroy it.

They were still confident that after defeating the "Tianluo Dao Sect", they would occupy this sea area under the name of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Three days later, Black Reef Island, where the Demon Extermination Sect was located, was already visible in the distance.

The island was shaped like a giant whale lying on the surface of the sea, surrounded by reefs. Countless white-boned warships were moored in the natural harbor, and the skull and crossbones flags on their sails fluttered in the eerie wind.

Unlike the "Ghost Fiend Hall", the "Demon Control Sect" was built on the sea, with the same layout as ordinary sects.

Elder Lei Ze stood at the bow of the ship, his lightning-patterned spear pointing straight to the sky. Purple thunderclouds gathered above his head, obscuring most of the midday sun.

"Listen up, you cowards of the 'Demon-Suppressing Sect'!"

His voice was like thunder rolling across the sea: "'Shenxiao Dao Sect' will raze your lair to the ground today! Come out and surrender immediately, or when the thunder descends, you will all be reduced to ashes!"

Before the words were finished, hundreds of plumes of black smoke suddenly rose from the island, each accompanied by a mournful ghostly wail—the corpse demon army raised by the "Demon Control Sect."

Immediately afterwards, thick black smoke rose from "Black Reef Island," obscuring the entire island.

Clearly, the people from the "Demon Control Sect" realized something was wrong and immediately activated the island's protective formation.

"Stubborn resistance is nothing but a death sentence!"

The Supreme Elder of the Nine Netherworlds snorted coldly, and twelve ice shards flew out from his sleeve. Wherever they passed, black smoke billowed like boiling water poured over snow, revealing the demonic cultivators controlling the corpse demons inside.

"court death!"

The sinister voice of the "Demon Control Sect" leader echoed from within the island, and a gigantic skull burst forth from the ground, its eye sockets flickering with eerie green flames.

That was actually the "Nine Nether Bone Demon" made from the bones of 100,000 cultivators. Each finger bone was a hundred feet long, and the black demon banner held in its palm was the "Ten Thousand Bone Banner," the treasure of the "Demon Control Sect."

Beside him were three Nascent Soul Realm elders, forming the Three Talents Formation, who appeared with him in the black mist.

Clearly, the "Demon Control Sect" is far more powerful than the "Ghost Fiend Hall".

However, the "Ghost Fiend Hall" is too evil, as it can summon demons from the "Nine Netherworlds," making it even more troublesome than the "Demon Control Sect."

The "Ghost Fiend Hall" also consumed a huge amount of resources on summoning due to the sacrifices, while neglecting the training of its disciples.

The "Demon Control Sect" is different; it is an orthodox demonic sect.

Behind the four Nascent Soul Realm experts, a hundred Golden Core Realm elders appeared, and the army of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators numbered twenty to thirty thousand.

As for those Qi Refining Realm cultivators, they were hidden on "Black Reef Island" and did not reveal themselves.

The appearance of such a powerful demonic sect made Li Yunjing frown.

He could already sense that this "Demon Control Sect" was not someone to be trifled with.

There are just too many people. Even if we let them kill freely, we don't know how long it would take to end.

As for failure?

This idea did not appear in Li Yunjing's mind. The three elders, Lei Ze, Dan Ding Peak Master, and Jiu You, were all Nascent Soul Realm True Persons with extremely profound cultivation.

With the three of them working together, Li Yunjing even doubted whether his teacher, Qin Jiuxiao, could withstand the attack!
Despite the fact that it's three against four, the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are actually very skilled in combat and are by no means inferior to others.

"Hahaha! Demon Lord, you have quite the nerve! Let me tell you, the 'Ghost Fiend Palace' has already been destroyed by us, now it's your turn!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Lei Ze laughed loudly, his body radiating lightning three times its normal intensity, and his spear transformed into a colossal pillar that pierced straight into the Bone Demon's brow.

This Supreme Elder showed no fear whatsoever; his every move was bold and unrestrained, brimming with absolute confidence.

He didn't think that the leader of the "Demon Control Sect," Yu Mozi, was his match at all!
