Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She stretched her spiritual sense to its limit, extending it six or seven hundred meters in a single direction. Although her vision became increasingly blurry the farther away she went, her perception of spiritual power remained remarkably clear.
Xi Heng stopped advancing and climbed to a high point on the city wall that had not been scorched by the flames, gazing at the crowd outside the city gate in the distance.
"Judging by their demeanor alone, they are not weak..." She barely managed to discern them with her eyesight, silently thinking about how to deal with them.
"Generally speaking, we should wait until they are all deep inside the city and encounter multiple Foundation Establishment zombies before launching a surprise attack in coordination with the Netherworld Sect..."
“However, there are ways to make things more troublesome for the enemy.” Xi Heng slowly raised his hand, and black energy emanated from his palm. The dense black energy gathered and transformed into deep red resentful flames.
The vengeful flames seemed to fall downwards as if drawn by gravity, drifting towards an ordinary zombie ghost wandering beneath the city wall.
She manipulated the zombie with her fingers, making it take stiff steps, walk dozens of meters, raise her charred arm, and touch the chest of another zombie.
The flames of resentment then spread, giving them commands.
Although a small amount of resentful fire cannot completely control these zombies as easily as manipulating an arm, and cannot counteract their instincts, it is still possible to let them touch other zombies and pass on their resentful fire while they are wandering around, and to guide them to a certain general location with a small amount of resentful fire.
Xi Heng planned to lay a trap on the path of the Seven Alliance's enemies, swarming hundreds or even thousands of zombie ghosts around them.
Once the enemy has penetrated deep into the territory, they will attack along with a large number of zombies.
"Next, just wait a moment..."
The zombies roamed the city, spreading new flames of resentment among themselves.
The high-ranking cultivators of the Seven Sect Alliances at the far end quickly made preparations and slowly advanced towards the Fiery Purgatory.
……
Volume 1: Chapter 232, Personally Facing Arrows and Stones
Within the burning city of Jinghuoben, amidst the charred streets and alleys, scattered corpses, controlled by the vengeful flames, wandered aimlessly among the ravaged fire.
Whenever they approach a fellow creature wandering aimlessly among the fires, they raise their charred, withered black hands and touch the other's shoulder.
As the resentment spread through contact, the wandering corpse twitched, and a layer of deep red fire appeared in its eyes, accompanying the former as it wandered aimlessly.
The message spread rapidly from one person to another, then from two to four, eventually purifying thousands of zombie ghosts of varying levels of power.
Xi Heng sat on the edge of the broken city wall, not caring that the dust was staining her dress. She simply closed her eyes slightly and stretched out her right hand, moving her five fingers up and down as if she were manipulating a puppet.
The zombies below, which were under her control, were being led south by her fingers.
This migration and convergence takes a long time.
However, for Xi Heng, there was plenty of time.
Because the dozens of Seven Alliance cultivators gathered at the South Gate were advancing slowly, their mobility was not comparable to that of the former Pure Fire Sect.
Each of their actions, such as the expansion or contraction of the defensive formation or the change of personnel positions, requires a moment of sluggishness to complete.
Compared to the top echelons of large organizations, this group was more like a hastily assembled adventure team—they clearly had little cooperation among themselves.
Yin Wanluan's sudden rise to power was absolutely crucial to the Seven Sects Alliance's victory over the Pure Fire Sect.
As Xi Heng pondered this casually, numerous zombie ghosts formed a crescent shape, enveloping the enemy's location from the north.
She gazed at the entire city as if it were a vast game map laid out before her, with the zombies resembling tiny red dots on it, all being manipulated by her to move in the same direction.
As the zombie ghosts drew closer to the enemy, Xi Heng also received information that the Youxu Sect cultivators had arrived.
She used a secret method to send them a message, instructing them to wait for the right moment to act.
At least wait until she controls the zombies to fight the enemy before taking direct action.
After receiving a definite answer, Xi Heng continued to manipulate the zombie horde, making it attempt to encircle the enemy from a distance of a kilometer.
At the same time, wisps of resentful fire were released from her hands and sprinkled down below the city wall.
The deep red blended into the crimson flames that filled the entire city, moving like a fish swimming in a lake, passing through wide fire zones and narrow passes, and quickly disappearing into the flames surrounding a crowd of people walking a kilometer away.
The deep red flames of resentment remained fixed, emanating a unique sensation.
Xi Heng raised his hand and released black energy, from which flames burst forth, reflecting the scene in the distance.
Dozens of cultivators from the Seven Alliances, each with slightly different attire and build, were slowly advancing along the main road.
The people around looked around and felt that something was not right.
A blue-robed monk, dressed in snake-patterned robes with serpentine patterns floating on his skin, frowned and spoke:
"This place is clearly full of traces of vengeful corpses, but we've walked a hundred meters and haven't seen a single one... Something's not right."
"Perhaps it's because the fire is getting smaller and they've retreated to the inner layer?" another cultivator, who was holding a sword in one hand, said casually.
“The latest trails from the ashes are also problematic… They seem to have known we were coming and dispersed.” He crouched down, picked up a bit of gray-black and rubbed it: “Either they made way for us, or they are gathering somewhere. The flames are blocking their snake-like vision and making them hard to detect. Please use other methods of sensing.”
Upon hearing this, everyone used their own methods to investigate.
In an instant, thunder roared in the sky, flying insects danced wildly on the ground, illusory magic gathered into butterflies that flew in all directions, and fiery snakes emerged from the ground.
The various techniques moved swiftly and spread rapidly.
Seeing this from the flames of resentment, Xi Heng pondered for a moment and then sent out over a hundred weaker zombies to charge towards the crowd.
With a slight twitch of the fingertip, the stiff corpse at the front passed through the layers of flames that resembled a curtain, and opened its mouth to utter a hoarse sound like the wind blowing through old paper.
Before long, the charcoal-black humanoid monsters charged in like tanks.
On the Seven Sect Alliance's side, transparent runes appeared on the outline of the formation maintained by several formation masters, transforming into a large wave of water that pushed against the incoming horde of corpses.
As it passed by, the crimson flames gradually died down, and the weaker zombies were directly overwhelmed and collapsed to the ground. The flames that were clearly visible between the charred cracks on their bodies gradually died down, and they lost their ability to move.
Seeing this from afar, Xi Heng muttered to himself:
"A spiritual liquid that can affect resentment? They've prepared quite a lot."
If a zombie is splashed with this liquid, it will lose the resentment that is its essence.
Xi Heng flicked his finger again, pulling out several powerful monsters at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage from the zombie horde and ordering them to use spells to launch an aerial attack.
Once the Foundation Establishment Corpse Corpse appears, the enemy's defensive formation will unleash water jets that will thrust into the air.
The water gun was incredibly fast, and the stiff corpses couldn't dodge it due to their rigid movements, so they could only forcibly block it with their aura shield.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators below dispatched several people to fly to high altitudes and swiftly execute the offenders using magic.
Compared to true cultivators, these corpses with shattered bodies and slow spellcasting are truly weak, and even those of similar cultivation levels cannot match them.
Xi Heng saw the situation clearly and directly used the only advantage the zombies had—their numbers.
On the north side, a large number of motionless vengeful corpses opened their deep red eyes and let out eerie growls in unison.
The muffled roars layered together, forming an eerie and terrifying howl, as if emanating from a cold, secluded valley.
If an ordinary person heard this, they would probably squat on the spot, trembling with fear and unable to move.
After the roar, thousands of zombies surged forward together, like an army rushing through streets and alleys, through ruins and flames, and crashing through walls and wooden houses.
The distance of several thousand meters was covered in no time as the zombies ran wildly, and the cultivators of the Seven Alliance finally stopped and began to form a line to meet the enemies coming from all sides.
Numerous bursts of energy condensed on the surface of the formation, striking each nearest zombie like an automatic defensive cannon.
During the battle between the zombies and the cultivators, Xi Heng overheard some of the enemies' conversations through the flames of resentment.
Seeing the zombies approaching in droves, the cultivators of the Seven Sects Alliance guessed that the Pure Flame still retained its consciousness and were deliberately preventing them from getting close. However, they did not know whether the consciousness in the Pure Flame was now purely composed of resentment or related to Yin Wanluan...
Xi Heng knew that Jing Huo actually had no outward consciousness at all.
Otherwise, if Jinghuo puts in even the slightest resistance, she will immediately lose control of the thousands of zombies in the city.
"I've been tormenting myself with resentment, but the Pure Fire hasn't responded... Even if I get close, I probably won't be able to talk to Yin Wanluan and ask about her progress." She thought, "I should just annihilate the Seven Alliance's visitors, and then slowly study or wait."
A few seconds later, Xi Heng turned his attention back and nodded slightly to the enemy cultivator who was fighting the zombie.
The horde of zombies may appear large and overwhelming in number, but their actual strength is not formidable.
None of them were at the peak of Foundation Establishment; the strongest among them was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and they were weakened by physical stiffness and mental changes, so they could only exert half of their strength before birth.
They were no match for the Seven Sect Alliance cultivators who were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
These charred monsters in the city can only inflict minor wounds and buy time on the enemy; they cannot cause any truly effective damage.
"useless."
Xi Heng clicked her tongue and shook her head. She had long known that the zombie ghosts were not as strong as cultivators, but she always felt that such a large number of them should still be able to play some role.
But now it seems that for cultivators at higher levels, no matter how many low-level and disorganized enemies there are, they pose no threat at all.
"Let's add fuel to the fire." She waved her hand to the side, and her inventory suddenly appeared, with spirit stones scattered by her finger.
Countless bright blue stones floated around her, moving with her gestures and radiating spiritual light.
As she spoke, the light gradually changed from a bluish-green to a crimson red.
"Blood is the ocean, I am the fire."
"To mold all things in the world into reality."
Crimson light drifted and gathered into countless starlight points in the air, filling the sky dozens of meters around her.
Xi Heng slowly chanted incantations to activate the Blood Sea Great Law. Before the spell was even halfway through, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly resounded from the sky.
Rumbling--
She spared a tiny bit of consciousness and slightly opened her left eye to glance upwards.
Immediately, a bolt of azure lightning burst forth from the center of the sky, splitting into seven beams.
"Lefa?"
She frowned, and at the same time, a loud chanting came from afar:
"Slay the wicked and vicious demons, and shatter the heavens with a thunderous roar!"
The singing was extremely fast; it was almost over in the blink of an eye.
Xi Heng felt a gaze sweep over him.
"Discovered..."
The next instant, lightning crashed down from the sky. Although it was guided by spiritual light and could not reach the speed of light, it was still incredibly fast, making it difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators to react.
She immediately stopped chanting the incantation and moved with ghostly speed, holding her breath.
A thunderbolt struck, blasting half of the city wall apart from top to bottom.
The entire wall was blasted open with a huge gap, a large number of stones shattered, and the crimson flames floating on it were also broken by the annihilating nature of the lightning.
Blood Shadow stopped moving and landed on another section of the city wall a hundred meters away.
Before Xi Heng could even regain his footing, another bolt of lightning struck, forcing him to continue dodging.
The continuous booming sounds shook the city, and large sections of the towering city walls were blown apart.
Everything only came to a temporary halt after the third thunderbolt struck.
She was injured in her left shoulder; half of her clothes were shattered by the lightning, and her shoulder was charred black.
Xi Hengqiang suppressed the throbbing pain in his shoulder and quickly made a decision, gathering most of the spirit stones that had not been shattered by the lightning to his side.
There was no more lightning in the sky; only three bolts of lightning had struck her, while the remaining four had landed on the zombie.
After retrieving the spirit stone, she activated the shielding talisman at her waist to conceal her aura, retreated another hundred meters, and continued to activate the Blood Sea Technique.
A few drops of spiritual liquid were sprinkled, and together with the radiance of the spirit stone, they gathered into red starlight, which then circled around him once more.
However, there was another rumble of thunder in the sky, as if the sun was about to rise again.
She then used all the zombies' lives in a full-scale attack.
In just two or three seconds, the lightning in the sky froze in place.
Then, as he recited the incantation of the Blood Sea Great Law, blood-red light around him immediately transformed into a hole, from which crimson blood flowed out.
The crimson blood flowed and surged, then burst forth like a flood, directly overturning the charred, burning city walls and transforming into a giant wave that rushed towards the Seven Alliance members.
The city wall crumbled and collapsed, revealing the scene inside the city.
The distant Netherworld Sect had already made its move, with shadowy figures and hidden purple spiritual light scattering across the sky, blocking the cultivators below from manipulating the lightning in the heavens.
Seeing that his allies were doing their best to buy time, Xi Heng pushed the Blood Sea to full speed and rushed forward with a whoosh.
In an instant, the rumbling of thunder in the sky, the howling of the black tide on the ground, the sounds of buildings exploding and collapsing, and the splashing of spirit liquid water guns all merged together with other magical sounds into an extremely chaotic mass, making it difficult to hear a clear and specific sound.
The sea of blood extinguished the crimson flames of resentment in large parts of the city, crushed many buildings like a flood, and crashed straight into the enemy's protective formation across a thousand meters.
The two collided, and the front of the black tide shattered and broke apart, with the array flashing with spiritual light to block it.
