Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

The pills that replenished his strength were completely used up.

Without replenishment of power, the formation will soon be broken, and once it is broken, they will surely die.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" Geng Minghai knew he only had one option left.

Rather than waiting for the formation to break and being killed, it's better to find a way to fight them. Maybe we can take a few people with us before we die.

After saying that, Geng Minghai suddenly took a deep breath, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body. This golden light seemed to pierce through his body and then rushed out of the formation.

The members of the Ghost Gu Sect changed their expressions the moment they saw Geng Minghai, enveloped in golden light, leave the formation and rush towards them.

"Retreat quickly! This guy is about to self-destruct his primordial spirit!" The people from the Ghost Gu Sect were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. If they were caught in the blast wave of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same realm self-destructing, they would hardly survive.

If they retreat, the formation will be unable to be maintained. If Geng Minghai takes the initiative to leave the formation and rush out to self-destruct, then their formation will also be unable to be maintained.

"Elder Geng, no!" The disciples of Yuheng Peak's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene.

Geng Minghai seems to have already come to his senses.

With a crazed look in his eyes, he pounced on one of the Nascent Soul cultivators at lightning speed. The man tried to run, but it was too late.

"Hahaha... Come down to the Yellow Springs with me. Explode." When Geng Minghai was less than a hundred meters away from this guy, the power within him could no longer be suppressed, and he burst open on the spot.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's self-destruction unleashed terrifying power. The destructive force instantly engulfed the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect, shattering his physical body. His Nascent Soul attempted to escape, but it was destroyed as soon as it emerged.

"No..." The cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect let out a mournful cry of unwillingness.

They never expected that Geng Minghai would not choose to abandon his disciple and run away, but instead choose to fight them to the death.

This was practically impossible in the eyes of the cultivators of the Gu God Domain; how could a strong person risk their life for a weak one?

Geng Minghai revealed that he had tried to stay as far away from his disciples as possible. The disciples of Yuheng Peak were all blown away in an instant, but the cultivators of the Ghost Gu Sect were not much better off.

The self-destruction leveled the entire area on the spot.

Lin Aoxue happened to arrive at this area and saw the terrifying energy fluctuations ahead, her brows furrowing instantly.

This is not a good sign.

She was still tens of thousands of meters away from the explosion site. By the time she arrived at the explosion zone, the energy of the explosion had already dissipated.

Meanwhile, the other two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ghost Gu Sect crawled out of the ruins in the distance. As for the rest of the area, they were either killed or rendered unable to fight by Geng Minghai's self-destruction.

"Pah! Damn it, you underestimated the courage of the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain. A dignified cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm could have simply abandoned his disciple and fled, yet he chose to use this method to try and secure a chance for their survival. How foolish!" A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect couldn't help but sneer.

Indeed, with Geng Minghai's cultivation level and his own treasures, escaping would be no problem at all. However, if he leaves, the disciples of Yuheng Peak will surely die.

Among the righteous cultivators of the Nine Heavens Domain, there are some who appear virtuous, but most are deeply influenced by the principles of righteousness and would not do something like abandoning their disciples and running away.

Even if the higher-ups of the Taishang Ganying Sect understand and don't hold him accountable for running away, he himself will still feel uneasy. A cultivator values ​​a clear mind, and abandoning his disciples and running away is not in line with his Daoist principles.

Unfortunately, although he took one enemy cultivator with him, the disciples of Yuheng Peak will probably still have difficulty escaping.

The disciples of Yuheng Peak used their magical artifacts to protect themselves the moment Geng Minghai self-destructed, but they were already seriously injured and blown around by the aftershocks of the explosion, leaving them unable to fight any longer.

And since the other side still has two Nascent Soul cultivators alive, the outcome is definitely not good.

"Hehehe... You little brats from the Nine Heavens Domain, you can all go down and reunite with that idiot from earlier." The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ghost Gu Sect had already locked onto the still-living disciples of the Supreme Induction Sect in the distance, preparing to use their Nascent Soul power to deliver a fatal blow to them.

Just as these disciples thought they were about to die, suddenly, beams of destructive sword light descended from the sky, attacking the Nascent Soul cultivator who was preparing to cast a spell.

"Eh? Oh no, there's an enemy! Senior brother, be careful!" Another female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect quickly warned him, then appeared behind the male cultivator and released her power to block the cyan sword light that was falling from the sky.

The sword light was incredibly oppressive, and the woman had to exert a great deal of effort to intercept it.

The other male cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect who had been attacked also quickly shifted his gaze from the cultivators at the Four Extremes and Dao Palace realms to the newcomer.

A white-clad woman, exuding divine might and radiating murderous intent, looked down at the two from the sky.

Lin Aoxue knew immediately upon arrival that it must have been a Nascent Soul cultivator from their Supreme Response Sect who had self-destructed, which infuriated her.

Because Geng Minghai was the first Nascent Soul cultivator to sacrifice himself in the Tianlan Mountains in their Supreme Response Sect.

"You will all die." Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was only at the Fourth Extreme Divine Soul Realm, the two relaxed their vigilance slightly.

"Is your attack power not weak? You're just a mere Divine Soul Realm cultivator, what makes you think you can talk so big to two Nascent Soul cultivators like this?" the female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect said sinisterly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a white light shot up from Lin Aoxue's body. This white light seemed to open the gate to the heavens, and she was completely enveloped in it. After the white light dissipated, a woman of unparalleled beauty and ethereal grace, who looked very much like Lin Aoxue but was not quite like her, gradually emerged from the white light.

Isn't this what Lin Aoxue's Sea of ​​Consciousness Immortal Palace looks like?

This is Lin Aoxue's divine body; her aura and combat power have reached their peak at this moment.

"The Ghost Gu Sect shall be destroyed." Lin Aoxue, transformed into a deity, declared the Ghost Gu Sect's fate like a true god.

Judging from Lin Aoxue's words, she wanted to kill not just these two people, but the entire Ghost Gu Sect.

This Ghost Gu Sect is a medium-to-large-sized force in the Gu God Domain. The sect has more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, the strongest of whom is at the fifth level of Nascent Soul.

They were not cultivators from the Southern Frontier, but came from the Western Frontier Ghost Domain of the Gu God Domain, specifically to kill cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain to practice their skills.

To put it bluntly, they had no conflict of interest with the Taishang Ganying Sect; their sole purpose was to kill.

The Ghost Gu Sect likes to use the souls of cultivators to refine Ghost Gu. These Ghost Gu are similar to puppetry, capable of controlling the souls of cultivators, and are a very evil method.

It can be said to be even more terrifying than the Gu poison techniques of the Five Poisons Sect.

Chapter 544 Catching Up to the Lair (5000 words + 900 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Most of the cultivators in the Tianlan Mountains are from the Southern Frontier and the Southern Ridge, because the two places are connected and they often have to participate in battles.

For example, if you are a cultivator from the Nine Heavens Domain, do you think that if you don't attack cultivators from the Gu God Domain, they won't attack you? Obviously, that's impossible.

Lin Aoxue's aura suddenly became as vast as the ocean, giving the two of them an unfathomable sense of oppression, which immediately intimidated them.

What did they feel at that moment? It was as if Lin Aoxue had become one with heaven and earth, and the pressure that descended was like the sky collapsing and pressing down on them, giving them a strong sense of powerlessness.

"What's going on? Why has this woman's aura suddenly become so terrifying? My soul seems to be trembling. What level of opponent are we facing? Is she really a Divine Soul Realm expert?" The two stared in panic at the woman who had just emerged from the white light.

Although the person in front of them looked exactly like Lin Aoxue, they didn't feel like the same person. If Lin Aoxue was a fairy descended to earth, then this Lin Aoxue was a supreme being who reigned supreme over the heavens.

"Feathering."

Lin Aoxue looked down at the two people who had been intimidated by her divine body, and a holy white light filled her eyes. Two illusory immortal figures shot out from her body at high speed and attacked the two people who were unable to move.

The moment the illusory figure appeared, the two men's hair stood on end.

"Damn it, what is this? My body needs to move!"

When the two saw Lin Aoxue's attack coming, they instinctively tried to dodge, but the problem was that their bodies were completely stiff at this moment and they could not move at all.

Moreover, Lin Aoxue, in her prime, used the power of ascension, which definitely exceeded the reaction speed of these two, making it impossible for them to dodge.

The two illusory figures passed swiftly through the two people.

"what……"

As their souls were severely damaged, they simultaneously let out a series of shrill screams.

A cultivator who is hit by this move will find it difficult to recover in a short time, as soul injuries are the hardest to heal.

After hearing the earth-shattering screams, some of the injured disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect finally came to their senses.

They looked up and saw a familiar figure floating in the sky like a true immortal, ignoring the two members of the Ghost Gu Sect.

"Yes, it's Lord Xuanmiao! We're saved! Lord Xuanmiao has arrived!" The disciples, their hearts filled with despair, were suddenly filled with hope as they looked at Lin Aoxue's figure.

After confirming that the two people would not be able to recover for a while, Lin Aoxue glanced at the injured disciples and then said something.

"Reinforcements are coming soon, you're safe now. Where's Elder Geng? Him?" Lin Aoxue asked telepathically.

Although Lin Aoxue had already anticipated this, she still wanted to confirm it.

Upon hearing Lin Aoxue's telepathic message, the core disciple of Yuheng Peak, who possessed the highest cultivation among the group of disciples, was overcome with grief.

Because if Geng Minghai hadn't risked his life to delay the enemy, they would have certainly died. They knew very well that Geng Minghai could abandon them and escape unscathed.

"Lord Xuanmiao, Elder Geng chose to self-destruct his primordial spirit and perish together with one of the enemy's primordial spirit cultivators in order to give us a glimmer of hope." The disciple of Yuheng Peak replied with an extremely sad tone.

Lin Aoxue sighed softly after hearing this.

"Sigh!" This sigh was full of helplessness. If she had arrived a little earlier, she might have been able to save Geng Minghai.

But this was something she could never have predicted.

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, then sharpened her gaze and looked at the two people from the Ghost Gu Sect again.

The pain in their souls had subsided considerably, and perhaps because of the pain, their numb bodies had returned to normal.

They suspected that the terrifying pressure they had just witnessed might have been a paper tiger, and that they had been fooled.

But it was too late for them to realize it.

Although they could move again, the pain in their souls made it impossible for them to concentrate on dealing with the terrifying woman.

Lin Aoxue slightly raised the sword in her hand, pointed it at the sky, and uttered two words.

"Heaven will punish you."

As soon as she said this, a burst of azure light erupted from her sword, disappearing into the clouds. Then, a crack appeared in the clouds, and a giant sword shimmering with azure light slowly fell from the clouds.

The power emanating from the sword made the two men's hearts leap into their throats.

"go."

Lin Aoxue commanded the giant sword, and in the end, the giant sword, like a divine punishment, fell rapidly towards the two of them. However, the main target of the sword was the stronger male cultivator.

"Do not……"

The male cultivator tried to dodge, but alas, the giant sword seemed to have locked onto him. Coupled with his current immobility, the giant sword ultimately struck him accurately.

"what……"

This dignified cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm let out a scream before being obliterated by Lin Aoxue's sword energy, his body and soul annihilated on the spot.

After killing the male cultivator, Lin Aoxue turned her attention to the female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect.

The female cultivator who had been hiding to the side was filled with even more fear after seeing her senior brother killed so easily.

"Impossible, why is this? What is she, and why is she so powerful?" The female cultivator pondered Lin Aoxue's origins while enduring the pain in her soul.

Just then, Lin Aoxue arrived in front of her and, under the horrified gaze of the female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect, reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

"Tell me, are there any other people in the Tianlan Mountains from your faction?" Lin Aoxue asked, narrowing her eyes.

After realizing her life was threatened, the female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect revealed the situation of their sect without hesitation.

The cultivators of the Gu God Domain have no concept of loyalty to their sect. In their eyes, nothing is more important than their own lives. If they can live, they are willing to sell anything.

"No, it's just our team. We're not cultivators from the Southern Frontier, but from the Western Frontier Ghost Domain of the Gu God Domain," the female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect explained.

Originally, Lin Aoxue planned to find and eliminate all the members of the Ghost Gu Sect in the Tianlan Mountains, but she didn't expect that everyone present was from the Ghost Gu Sect. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to ask.

Lin Aoxue could also tell that the woman was not lying.

"Really? Then tell me, where does your power stand in the Gu God Domain?" Lin Aoxue pressed again.

The woman didn't know why Lin Aoxue was asking this, but she still answered honestly, even revealing how many Nascent Soul experts their Ghost Gu Sect had.

Lin Aoxue was very satisfied after listening.

"Thank you for your cooperation," Lin Aoxue said calmly.

"Then, then, shouldn't you spare my life?" the woman asked hurriedly.

But the next moment, an invisible sword aura surged into the woman's body, instantly destroying her and her primordial spirit, but leaving her soul intact.

In other words, this woman can still be reincarnated; she was not completely destroyed, body and soul.

This woman never understood why, even though she had cooperated so well on the surface, they still wanted to kill her.

"I will spare your soul, but you will still die," Lin Aoxue said calmly.

Lin Aoxue was truly enraged this time, and she directly used her strongest method. This was not a divine body, but a special ability that combined the divine body with the immortal body.

It allows one to merge with heaven and earth, mobilizing the power of this world to intimidate the opponent; however, this method is only effective against those whose soul power is weaker than one's own.

Lin Aoxue, having used all her abilities, could reach the second level of the Nascent Soul realm, making her naturally stronger than these two.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ghost Gu Sect died somewhat unjustly; they were killed in a single encounter without even having to use any of their abilities.

After killing the two men, Lin Aoxue sighed and left with a murderous look on her face.

After she left, reinforcements from the Taishang Ganying Sect arrived. Upon seeing the vast ruins, their expressions froze.
