With a resounding crash like shattering glass, the vengeful beast's abdomen split open, releasing a dense aura of black death.

Previously, if death energy were to erupt, Xi Heng would have to retreat as quickly as possible.

However, at this moment, she simply stood still, pointing her Pure Bright Broken Sword, which was igniting with white flames, forward.

The fire pattern between his brows flickered, and in the next instant, a large amount of white flames erupted, breaking through the dense death aura to create a clean field.

The white flames blocked the laceration in the vengeful beast's abdomen, and no matter how much death energy it contained, it would vanish instantly upon contact, just as even the densest darkness could not erode the light.

The vengeful beast howled, and a giant hand reached down from below.

Xi Heng easily dodged with a side leap, but the withered black giant hand then grabbed at the wound that was burning from the white flames.

Unable to extinguish the white flames, the black claws reached deep into the wound to retrieve the crystal core that was about to be touched by the white flames.

During this time, Xi Heng unleashed another sword strike that pierced the enemy's chest, tearing a rift several meters wide.

The vengeful beast roared and shot the pitch-black crystal core at her as before.

A dark meteor flew by, but the girl below simply raised her sword steadily, channeling her inner strength and spiritual energy into a powerful swing.

The bursting white flames of sword energy rushed out, staining the invisible greatsword formed by the external force of martial arts.

The greatsword clashed with the black meteor, producing a crisp, clear sound.

The two stopped in mid-air, locked in a stalemate, when white flames enveloped the dark meteor, causing it to lose its momentum and fall.

Xi Heng stepped forward, grabbed the falling death energy crystal core, and put it into his storage bag in one swift motion.

Above, seeing that this move was ineffective, the vengeful beast used its four withered hands to grip the sword hilt and pressed down with its most immense and fierce power.

She tried to dodge to the side, but the overwhelming death aura suppressed all her movements from all directions.

At this moment, the white fire pattern between his brows trembled.

The pressure of death energy vanished instantly, and the girl's figure blurred and flashed, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.

The greatsword, made of corpses, fell and planted half of its blade into the ground.

Xi Heng's figure flashed dozens of meters away, seizing the opportunity to strike again—

One sword strike hits, then another.

In just a few seconds of stunned silence, dozens of sword wounds appeared on the surface of the vengeful beast's body, each wound ignited with pure fire that devoured the death energy within its body.

Its movements became slower and slower, while Xi Heng's offensive showed no signs of abating.

The white flames and sword energy linked together, carrying with them the external force of martial arts, and continuously attacked together.

Even though the vengeful beast simultaneously fired two jet-black meteors in retaliation, she neutralized them in an instant.

If the opponent uses this tactic again, they will only be throwing away their own life.

Even without using it, under the relentless sword strikes from Xi Heng, one could only slowly await death.

Countless cracks covered the beast's entire body, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Amidst its wails, the vengeful spirit within its body erupted, unleashing a devastating attack—its final struggle.

But after the crimson flames of resentment swept across, everything returned to calm.

After Xi Heng successively removed the seventh, eighth, and ninth crystal cores, the vengeful beast could no longer stabilize itself, and the sword marks and cracks all over its body gradually connected.

The cracks on the monster's surface became as dense as broken porcelain, and then all the cracks emitted a grayish-white light.

Another sword aura struck, and the monster shattered like porcelain being smashed by a hammer. Countless black wisps of energy erupted, and the corpses on the ground echoed with endless wails.

Xi Heng's entire body emitted pure white light and fire. After waiting for a long time, the black mist dissipated, and his vision became clear again.

The monster had vanished from sight.

The earth's wailing gradually subsided.

"Finally..."

The girl exhaled softly and turned to look back at the white light atop the hill.

But the next moment, deathly energy surged and billowed from the corpses on the ground.

Although the bright light from the fire pattern between his eyebrows resisted, the death energy persisted and only increased.

Suddenly, the fire patterns on her body drifted away, and a massive death aura surged into her body.

"Isn't this too fast?" She wasn't ready yet.

However, there is still time to prepare.

Before the deathly aura could fully penetrate him, Xi Heng quickly bit his fingertip, drew a line of blood, and stuck it on his brow to draw the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique.

Afterwards, although the physical body weakened due to bearing a huge amount of death energy, the spirit remained perfectly clear.

She let go of her body's subconscious resistance, allowing the deathly aura to wash over her.

Although the death energy was now enormous, it no longer seemed to want her to die immediately; instead, it was purely focused on gathering within her body.

Amidst the pervasive deathly aura, she tried raising her hand to release a wisp of spiritual light.

Use your inspiration as a mirror to see yourself in this moment.

Her soft white hair was still naturally flowing, but her skin had become an overly refined gray-white, so refined that she didn't look human, but more like a doll made of gray porcelain.

She blinked, and the whites of her eyes turned gray, while her pupils became pure black.

"Her hair seems to have grown a lot longer?" she noticed.

"Since I'm going to die soon anyway, it doesn't really matter."

Gradually, the surrounding death energy was completely absorbed into the body, and the black mist that obscured the view faded and disappeared.

She raised her gray left arm and looked around, feeling as if she could control everything in this space.

Following her senses, Xi Heng gently flicked her hand, and a great deal of death energy emerged from her fingertips, falling onto the corpses on the ground.

The corpses, tainted by death, rose up and lined up in accordance with her inner command.

"That's interesting," she muttered to herself.

With another wave of her hand, hundreds of relatively intact corpses stood in formation, kneeling before her in salute.

She snapped her fingers lightly, and the other skeletons beside her twisted and squeezed together, quickly transforming into a royal chair in a few seconds.

Just as I sat down, a phantom-like figure emerged from the white light atop the hill of bones not far away.

The other person slowly walked over and asked her:

"Xi Heng, you are now the Lord of the Death Realm, do you still retain your own consciousness?"

Xi Heng tilted his head, not responding for a moment, but instead moved his finger, causing all the standing corpses around him to turn their attention to Yin Wanluan.

The other person stopped and asked again in a low voice.

"..."

Yin Wanluan received no response for a long time, and even as a spirit, she couldn't help but purse her lips nervously.

Three or four seconds later, the pale-skinned girl on the throne of bones smiled slightly and said, "Just kidding, of course there is."

Book recommendation! I really like Feng Bao's new book:

Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual

Synopsis: In his third year in this steampunk world, Ciel gained the ability to simulate the past and future.

The simulated human beings have created a game in which they can do whatever evil they want, and after countless simulations, reality has become a copy of life that can be speedrun.

The church, potions, mutations, old gods, witches, sealed objects... none of these have anything to do with Ciel. Ciel is just an ordinary girl who wants to live a peaceful life.

She's just better at nipping danger in the bud.

Volume 1: Chapter 245, The End of Decline

On the desolate wasteland of corpses, a withered corpse stood up and slowly rotated under the movement of Xi Heng's fingers, its movements like those of a dancer on a stage.

On the throne of bones, the girl sat steadily with her legs crossed, her gaze falling on the pale blonde soul girl who was approaching from the side.

After being absorbed by the death energy, her figure underwent a significant change.

Her pure gray skin was as smooth as fired porcelain, and her white hair had grown to her feet, its length exceeding her height.

As he sat down, his long hair flowed down the throne like a stream, wrapped around the armrests, and then fell to the ground.

She always found this ability to control death energy quite fascinating.

As Yin Wanluan's illusory figure approached, he continued to manipulate the death energy and corpses with his fingers.

Commanding these corpses to perform actions is as effortless and natural as controlling the movement of a finger.

"In short," Yin Wanluan said quickly, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding moving corpses.

"Please move the corpses and death energy beneath our feet to the far side... A certain essence of the Pure Fire is sealed beneath this sea of ​​corpses."

She spoke faster than before, as if afraid that Xi Heng would be truly consumed by deathly energy at any moment.

Xi Heng tilted his head on the high throne and asked:

What is the essence of pure fire?

After using the Heavenly Demon Transformation, she was able to maintain consciousness until her death, and her mind was not in a state of urgency.

Yin Wanluan took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety, and offered a brief explanation:

"I don't know for sure either. I only sensed the source and essence when my soul was connected to the Pure Fire... As long as I integrate my soul into it, the entire Pure Fire will not go against my will."

"That thing is right under our feet?" Xi Heng asked again.

"Yes."

As soon as the other person finished speaking, she closed her eyes and used her death energy to probe the depths of the earth.

Now, the death energy of the entire dead realm is connected to her, providing her with special sensory abilities, just as she did when manipulating the sea of ​​blood.

The deathly aura penetrated the corpse-strewn earth and seeped into the ground below.

After walking several dozen meters, Xi Heng sensed a warm feeling, which was being pressed tightly deep by countless bones.

The outline of that thing resembled a thin twig, with small leaves growing at the tip.

It has a special repulsive force against death energy, and even with force, it is impossible to get within ten centimeters of its periphery.

"Wonderful." Xi Heng raised his finger, controlling the underground death energy to merge into the corpse closest to this object.

Then manipulate the corpse to raise its hand, attempting to lift it upwards.

However, once the ashes and withered hands of the corpse get close, they will lose control and fall down on their own.

It seems that digging it open is indeed the only option.

The girl clicked her tongue and waved her hand lightly.

A large amount of death energy enveloped the surrounding area for dozens of meters, and anyone who came into contact with the death energy she emitted, whether their body was mutilated or intact, would automatically crawl away.

Even if only a head or a broken finger remains, it will be carried away by the other skeletons.

In an instant, hundreds of corpses dug themselves open and left the place, creating an extremely bizarre scene.

Xi Heng also rose from the throne of bones, causing the throne composed of more than a dozen broken bodies to dissipate amidst the distortion.

She walked to Yin Wanluan's side and pushed forward with her right hand.

Black mist was released from his palm, enveloping the area dozens of meters in front of him.

The corpses rose up in droves, quickly digging a huge pit several meters deep.

As the pit deepened, the skeletons changed from walking to climbing, arranging themselves in an orderly and disciplined manner.

The large group of dead did not need messengers as intermediaries to give orders, nor did they have their own beliefs.

With just a thought from Xi Heng, the skeletons would obey her commands unconditionally and without delay, just like soldiers manipulated in a strategy game.

As he continued digging, Xi Heng inexplicably thought—using these corpses as an army would be absolutely perfect.

They have no dietary needs and do not require comprehensive logistical support.

Furthermore, since the corpses were already dead, they had no fear of dying again, and once on the battlefield, they would surely be the bravest soldiers in the world.
