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

The celestial beings arrived quickly and left just as fast, but Ye Liuyun's golden brick was a magical treasure; smashing those few minor figures would be a piece of cake for him.

"Trying to run? You're finished." Ye Liuyun threw the gold brick, which flashed like a golden light, passing over the backs of the four men's heads in an instant. Then, the four men's eyes rolled back and they fell from the sky.

Ye Liuyun quickly patted Hei Niu, signaling him to take her downstairs to see what was going on down there.

Black Bull immediately dragged Ye Liuyun down. As they got closer to the manor, they could see the situation inside more clearly. On a platform in the manor, some immortals covered in karmic burdens were escorting some ordinary immortals and pushing them in front of a strange beast.

"Ah! Spare me! I don't want to die!" The immortals cried out in alarm as they looked at the strange beast engulfed in karmic flames.

Unfortunately, the strange beast swallowed all the immortals whole, and after swallowing them, the karmic fire on its body burned even more intensely.

This strange beast looks like a dragon, but it's more like a monstrous creature that crawled out of hell.

This beast, known as the Calamity Beast, is a terrifying monster formed from the accumulated karma of a normal divine beast. It can continuously accumulate karma based on the number of living beings it devours, and its cultivation level will also continuously improve. If it has enough karma, it can even reach the Immortal King realm.

However, this thing is extremely difficult to form, and once it reaches a certain level, the karmic burden on its body is overwhelming and cannot be hidden at all.

Chapter 964 Red Lotus Sect (5K)

Of course, Ye Liuyun is not yet aware that this is a calamity beast.

"Who goes there?" Just as Ye Liuyun approached the manor, the other celestial beings inside immediately noticed someone approaching.

At this moment, more than a dozen celestial beings had gathered in this place.

Moreover, each of them exuded a murderous aura. They all looked up at the sky and discovered that the four celestial beings they had sent out to keep watch had fallen from the sky at the same time, as if they had been shot down.

The next moment, a Qilin shrouded in black energy appeared in their sight, carrying a young woman in white.

"Hehe, sorry to bother you. Let me introduce myself. I was just passing by when your people stopped me. So I had no choice but to fight them. Then I came down to check on you. I hope I didn't bother you?" Ye Liuyun said with a harmless smile as he sat on the back of the black ox.

None of these cultivators before us are benevolent; their actions clearly demonstrate that they are scourges upon Mushan Prefecture.

Judging from the karmic burdens on them, they must have committed numerous acts of murder and robbery.

In the celestial realm, merit and karma are relative. Heavenly rules do not prohibit immortals from making a living by killing other immortals and robbing treasures, but such immortals, once captured by the Heavenly Court, are generally destined to have their souls scattered and will not even have the right to reincarnation.

Moreover, killing an immortal carrying karmic power will not result in punishment from the Heavenly Court; on the contrary, Heaven will reward one with a portion of merit.

Normally, if Ye Liuyun hadn't encountered these guys, she definitely wouldn't have gone out of her way to provoke them.

Wasn't she just about to leave? Unfortunately, she was stopped.

"Impressive! A mere Earth Immortal has a Black Qilin as a mount and can even defeat four of us Heavenly Immortals who are keeping watch. It seems you have some skills." A mid-grade Heavenly Immortal strolled up to the group and looked up at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun first looked at the calamity beast. She felt very uncomfortable with it, as it was filled with negative energy, like a condensation of evil power.

"What is this thing? It contains such a strong karmic force. You must be doing something shady, otherwise you wouldn't have four celestial beings guarding it outside," Ye Liuyun asked thoughtfully.

Just then, the immortal who had been captured shouted loudly.

“Young lady, be careful. This is a calamity beast, raised by these guys using the power of karma. We were just passing by when they captured us and brought us here. They want to use us to feed this calamity beast, which is about to reach the Golden Immortal level. If you have the ability to leave, quickly go and tell the surrounding Heavenly Court agencies so they can come and wipe out these guys.”

As soon as the man finished explaining, he was slapped in the face by a local immortal.

"Shut up, you're about to die, why are you still talking so much? Don't worry, this meddlesome little girl will die here with you."

Seeing how confident these guys were, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh.

"Really? You're quite confident, aren't you?"

The celestial beings snorted coldly and ignored Ye Liuyun. Then, a group of terrestrial immortals ascended and surrounded Ye Liuyun. Although they knew that Ye Liuyun had the ability to defeat celestial immortals, they were not sure, so it was safer to let the terrestrial immortals go up and test him.

"Grab her," the leading celestial being sneered.

Upon seeing this, the group of Earth Immortals immediately headed towards Ye Liuyun.

Seeing so many Earth Immortals attacking, Ye Liuyun simply shook his head slightly, then suddenly unleashed his brick.

The gold brick in her hand flew out and then rapidly grew larger, eventually becoming a massive, sky-covering brick that slammed down on the earth immortals.

"What?!" The Earth Immortals were startled. Many of them tried to run away immediately, but it was too late. The brick-moving technique instantly enveloped all the Earth Immortals. As soon as they touched the gold bricks, their eyes rolled back and they fell from the sky.

With just one strike, a large group of Earth Immortals lost their fighting ability. Ye Liuyun had already shown mercy; otherwise, they would probably have been killed in that single blow.

"A Golden Immortal-level magic treasure? You, a mere Earth Immortal, actually possess such a treasure?" While these Celestial Immortals were astonished, they also became envious.

Because as long as they can kill the person in front of them, then this Golden Immortal-level magic weapon will be theirs, and since they have a Golden Immortal-level magic weapon, their wealth must be considerable.

By the way, this group of people comes from an extremely powerful hidden force in the Immortal Realm called the Red Lotus Cult.

The Red Lotus Cult can be considered the largest cult in the world. They specifically recruit cultivators who are bloodthirsty and dislike abiding by the heavenly rules, teaching them a technique that allows them to increase their cultivation level through the power of karma, thus attracting members.

Rumor has it that the leader of the Red Lotus Sect is a hidden Immortal King, and they have branches in almost every state of the Eastern Heaven Realm.

The one Ye Liuyun encountered was a branch of the Mushan Domain, roughly comparable to a seventh-grade immortal sect, with one mid-grade celestial immortal and several low-grade celestial immortals.

As for their mission, besides recruiting members, it is to raise these calamity beasts. As long as they raise the calamity beasts to the Golden Immortal level, they can receive a large reward from headquarters, including all kinds of cultivation techniques and treasures.

They wouldn't normally act so ostentatiously, but these past few days, with the calamity beast nearing its breakthrough, they had no choice but to.

Moreover, the location where they are hiding is usually deserted, and even if someone does pass by, their branch's strength is more than enough to take them down.

"Ah, that feels good. With a brick in hand, I'm invincible. Why don't you guys give it a try?" Ye Liuyun put away his golden armor, tossed it in his hand, and looked like he was about to smash it into these celestial beings at any moment.

These celestial beings, well aware of the power of Golden Immortal-level magic treasures, did not act rashly. However, the leader did not seem to intend to retreat.

"So what if it's a Golden Immortal's magic weapon? How much power can a mere Earth Immortal like you unleash? You don't think that's all the Red Lotus Sect can do, do you?" The leading Celestial Immortal suddenly summoned a magic weapon in the form of a token.

As soon as the token flew out, it soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and then burst forth with a fiery red light.

"Crimson Lotus Barrier - Activated".

As the mid-grade Celestial Immortal activated the token, extremely strong karmic power emanated from it. This karmic power, like ink falling onto water, rapidly eroded the space in this area. In no time, the area within a radius of several thousand meters was swallowed up by the barrier formed by this karmic power.

The space inside was a dark red, and the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

Ye Liuyun immediately unleashed her golden bricks at the barrier, but surprisingly, they bounced back.

In other words, the barrier is very strong. With her current level of cultivation, she cannot break the barrier with the power of the golden brick alone. Although the barrier is not as strong as a Golden Immortal, it is close to the peak of a Celestial Immortal.

Currently, Ye Liuyun, using gold bricks, can probably only easily defeat a low-grade Celestial Immortal and overpower a mid-grade Celestial Immortal; becoming stronger than that would be difficult.

But are these all of Ye Liuyun's methods? Obviously not. She just doesn't know what these guys are up to right now, so she hasn't used her other trump cards.

Her biggest trump card is calling Wen Qin; if she wanted, she could make Wen Qin come to her rescue with just a thought.

"Impressive! It's a trap that even a Golden Immortal-level magic weapon can't break." Ye Liuyun put away the gold brick and said, feigning surprise.

"Hmph! Now you know how powerful she is, right? There's something even more powerful to come. Just wait to die, you calamity beast, kill her." The leading mid-grade Celestial Immortal suddenly gave an order to the calamity beast.

The previously stable beast suddenly became extremely ferocious after hearing the other party's command.

Suddenly, the calamity beast raised its head and let out a roar similar to a dragon's cry, which made Ye Liuyun and the black ox retreat repeatedly.

"Wow, this guy is probably at the peak of the Celestial Immortal level. Black Bull, you should go back first; you can't help right now." Ye Liuyun immediately put Black Bull away.

She needs to try to solve the problem herself with her current abilities first. If she really can't, then she'll call for help.

No wonder this mid-grade Celestial Immortal was so confident; it turns out he could control a calamity beast at the peak Celestial Immortal level. Under normal circumstances, an Earth Immortal relying solely on a Golden Immortal-level magic weapon would indeed still be unable to avoid being killed.

"Roar..." The calamity beast launched an attack.

She opened her mouth and unleashed an energy blast formed from karmic forces towards Ye Liuyun's location.

The impact was so fast that Ye Liuyun could hardly withstand it. He could only summon the golden bricks, turning them into shields to block in front of him.

Even so, Ye Liuyun still couldn't withstand this power. The golden bricks were pushed backward by the attacks of the calamity beasts. And don't forget, these guys still have several Celestial Immortals who haven't made a move yet.

"Everyone, cooperate with the calamity beast to kill this woman," the mid-grade celestial immortal commanded.

After speaking, the celestial beings transformed into streaks of light and instantly arrived behind Ye Liuyun. They prepared to ambush Ye Liuyun while he was defending against the attack of the calamity beast.

"Damn, even celestial beings can launch sneak attacks?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed, and before the opponent could unleash their attack, he disappeared using the teleportation pill.

"Huh? Gone? Where is it?" The celestial being, who was just about to make a move, froze.

But just as they were searching for Ye Liuyun, a clear voice rang out from the sky.

"God said, 'Let there be light.'"

As soon as these words were spoken, a blinding white light, like the sun, shone above their heads. The light was so dazzling that even the calamity beast below couldn't help but look away from the top.

"Take this!" Ye Liuyun ignored the celestial beings and, at top speed, used the teleportation pill again to arrive in front of the calamity beast. He then unleashed a brick with all his might and slammed it down on the beast's head.

The most threatening person to her was this guy. If she could just kill him first, then the rest of the people would be in trouble.

The calamity beast took a real hit from this attack.

However, instead of killing it, it drove the guy mad.

"Roar..." The calamity beast broke free from the control of the mid-grade celestial immortal and took the initiative to attack. Countless strands of karmic power suddenly shot out from its body, sweeping towards Ye Liuyun's position.

However, this attack missed Ye Liuyun and instead struck the celestial beings. But the karmic power that struck the celestial beings did not kill them directly; instead, it drained their power.

"No? Master, save us!" The celestial beings cried out in alarm as they watched their energy drain away.

The leader they're talking about must be this mid-grade Celestial Immortal.

"Disaster Beast, stop immediately!" The leader was also greatly alarmed.

They currently believe that Ye Liuyun was never confident of victory to begin with, and if these celestial beings were to also perish, things would be dire.

Unfortunately, the calamity beast did not obey his command, and even shot a wisp of karmic power towards him, but it was intercepted by a mid-grade Celestial-level magic weapon.

Not only them, but also the Earth Immortals who were knocked unconscious by Ye Liuyun, and the four Celestial Immortals who had fainted earlier, all became this guy's targets. Only the captured immortals were not noticed by the disaster beast.

These immortals unleashed the power of the calamity beast, a result of their immortal bodies being drained of energy.

Immortals, unless they achieve sainthood through physical means, are all energy beings. Energy is their life; without energy, their fate is naturally death.

"This guy is actually attacking his own people? And the energy on his body seems to be increasing. Could it be that he's about to reach the Golden Immortal level?" Ye Liuyun also noticed something was wrong with the calamity beast.

Seeing that the calamity beast seemed to be about to break through its realm, the mid-grade Celestial Immortal was overjoyed again. As long as the calamity beast could break through, then the deaths of these people would be worthwhile.

"Excellent, Calamity Beast, obey my command, kill this woman." The mid-grade Celestial Immortal once again formed hand seals, attempting to control the Calamity Beast.

However, the beast's response was a devastating burst of energy.

"Damn it, why is this guy suddenly disobeying orders?" The mid-grade Celestial Immortal's face turned green, and he dodged again.

The calamity beast seemed to be only one step away from breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. Seeing that the mid-grade Celestial Immortal was unwilling to let her absorb it, it could only look at the group of Earth Immortals who had been captured.

The reason he didn't attack them earlier was because the power contained in this group of Earth Immortals was too weak; it would be better to eat one Celestial Immortal than to eat a whole group of them.

There's nothing we can do now.

"Oh no, he's got his eye on us! Girl, help us!" The captured immortals were terrified when they saw the terrifying gaze of the calamity beast.

"Take this brick!" Ye Liuyun immediately unleashed another brick and hurled it at the calamity beast.

But this time it didn't work. The calamity beast swung its tail, striking the brick and pulling the gold brick back.

This guy's power has clearly increased again, and he's almost at the Golden Immortal level.

"No way, he's gotten this much stronger all of a sudden?" Ye Liuyun's expression changed.

As for that mid-grade Celestial Immortal, after a moment of thought, he actually made a hand seal.

After the handprint was made, the collar wrapped around the beast's neck broke off at that moment.

"Enjoy these delicacies and break through to the Golden Immortal realm, you little girl, you're doomed. You'd better play with the disaster beast while I wait for you outside." The mid-grade Celestial Immortal sneered and then flew out of the barrier.

As the collar disappeared, the calamity beast was able to leave the area it was in. It flapped its wings and slowly took flight, its aura reaching its peak at that moment.

Ye Liuyun also arrived at the side of the captured immortals immediately, looking at the calamity beast with a wary expression.

She couldn't let this guy eat these immortals; if he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, it would be even more troublesome to deal with him.

"Hey big oaf, what are you? You're being treated like a dog and tied up. I'm curious, what exactly are you?" After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun said sarcastically to the guy.

This calamity beast was summoned by some kind of dragon-like divine beast, so it must be intelligent.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would react to Ye Liuyun's mockery.

Sure enough, this guy flew into a rage after hearing Ye Liuyun call him a dog.

But just as this guy was about to open his mouth to attack, Ye Liuyun teleported to the back of his head and slammed a brick down on him again.

The calamity beast was hit and experienced a brief moment of dizziness.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Liuyun summoned the Longevity Cauldron and collected those immortals inside, then immediately ran out of the barrier.

After recovering, the calamity beast was even more enraged. It locked onto Ye Liuyun, who was trying to escape, and unleashed another terrifying energy blast.

"Hehe, you big oaf, that's exactly what I wanted you to do." Ye Liuyun quickly dodged the attack, letting the force collide with the Crimson Lotus Barrier.
