Chapter 223: The Ghost King's Attention
After hovering in the sky for quite some time, the two figures radiating terrifying auras quietly dissipated.
Meanwhile, inside the cave residence, two infants appeared above the heads of the two Nether Spring Sect disciples.
These two infants emitted faint black qi.
Although only faint black qi surrounded them, the auras they emitted were incomparably terrifying.
Like newborn children, the two infants frolicked and played in the air.
Only after some time had passed did the two infants return to their respective bodies.
The two men then instantly opened their eyes, and unconcealed delight appeared within them.
After sensing their newfound power, they could not help but burst into hearty laughter.
The Nascent Soul Realm—this was a realm that only sect elders were qualified to possess.
With their original talents, had they remained on their own continent, breaking through to such a realm would have required at least several hundred years of accumulation.
Yet after arriving on this continent and collecting such an enormous number of souls, they had broken through with such ease.
When Seventh Senior Brother awakened, Eighth Junior Brother also awoke.
After sensing his own condition, his face was likewise filled with joy.
The two then turned around and looked at the Hundred Thousand Souls Banners behind them, their eyes burning with excitement.
The feedback from merely a Hundred Thousand Souls Banner was already this astonishing.
If they could refine these Hundred Thousand Souls Banners into Million Souls Banners, wouldn't they be able to break directly into the Deity Transformation Realm?
Thinking of this, the two exchanged glances, each seeing the other's ambition reflected in their eyes.
After familiarizing themselves with their newfound strength, they did not remain inside the cave residence any longer, instead rising and walking outside.
Meanwhile, the other two Nether Spring Sect disciples looked at the two senior brothers who had emerged with undisguised envy.
Through their spiritual perception, how could they fail to realize that these two senior brothers had already broken through and were now genuine Nascent Soul Realm experts?
The two junior brothers hurriedly offered their congratulations.
“Congratulations, Seventh Senior Brother and Eighth Senior Brother, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and attaining the Great Dao of immortality.”
After hearing this, the two Nether Spring Sect disciples known as Seventh Senior Brother and Eighth Senior Brother smiled faintly before saying to them,
“Ninth Junior Brother, Tenth Junior Brother, you two need not envy us. Now that we've broken through, we no longer have any concerns.
Next, we'll find a way to help the two of you raise your Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners. Once that happens, you'll be able to break through as well.”
The two immediately nodded.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
After pondering for another moment, Seventh Senior Brother continued,
“Now that our strength has advanced, let's continue our hunting journey.
However, this time we must not split up. That woman from the Qingyun Sect is still very powerful. Since we don't know the full extent of her abilities, it's better to proceed cautiously.”
The other three had no objections and nodded.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
The four of them then flashed away together, flying down from Floating Cloud Mountain.
Nearly two months later, turmoil once again swept across the Divine Continent as countless living beings were slaughtered by these four fiends.
Compared to before, their brutality had only become even more excessive.
At this time, Lu Xueqi, who was cultivating on Xiaozhu Peak, received a message from one of the Xiaozhu Peak disciples.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xueqi did not head to the Jade Purity Hall this time. Instead, she said to the disciple,
“I will go down the mountain immediately to eliminate the Blood Demons. Please inform Master and the Sect Leader.”
Before the disciple could even reply, Lu Xueqi flashed away and sped down the mountain.
This time, she had no intention of bringing anyone with her. With her current strength, going wherever she wished was an extremely simple matter.
Moreover, she had previously searched the Qingyun Sect and found an extremely detailed map of the lands surrounding Qingyun Mountain.
Therefore, she no longer needed anyone to guide her in tracking down those Blood Demons.
As the four Nether Spring Sect disciples continued slaughtering living beings across the land, they eventually drew the attention of the Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect.
At this time, the Ghost King's soul had almost been completely consumed by the Asura within the Fulong Cauldron, though he still retained a trace of consciousness.
It was precisely because of this remaining shred of awareness that he still retained a trace of familial affection for Bi Yao of the Ghost King Sect.
When the Ghost King heard that the Blood Demons were slaughtering living beings throughout the world on a massive scale, dissatisfaction immediately arose in his heart.
Now that he had been tainted by Asura's Consciousness, he had an immense need for the Blood Energy of all living beings.
The Asura occupying the Ghost King's body placed tremendous importance on the Blood Energy of the world's living beings.
Not only could this Blood Energy rapidly restore his cultivation after he completely escaped in the future, but it could also help him comprehend Asura divine abilities.
Therefore, he could not simply stand by and watch those so-called Blood Demons slaughter all the living beings beneath the heavens.
Thus, as soon as the Ghost King heard about the deeds of these four Blood Demons, he immediately carried the Fulong Cauldron and flashed toward the places where they had committed their atrocities.
He intended to recruit these four so-called Blood Demons under his command and have them serve the Ghost King Sect.
With these four Blood Demons joining them, the strength of the Ghost King Sect would undoubtedly become even greater.
Furthermore, once the Asura completely escaped in the future, he could absorb the cultivation and essence blood of these four Blood Demons in their entirety, allowing the Asura to become even more powerful.
At this moment, within Ironstone City on the Divine Continent, black qi permeated the air while endless screams echoed throughout the city.
Boundless Blood Energy engulfed the entire city.
Above the city floated four incomparably terrifying figures, their eyes completely devoid of emotion as they watched the countless living beings below struggle desperately.
To them, mortal lives were nothing more than ants, to be killed whenever they pleased. Being able to contribute toward the advancement of their cultivation was an honor for these ordinary beings.
In only a short while, the more than ten thousand inhabitants of Ironstone City had all been slaughtered.
Seeing this, the four black-robed men nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, Seventh Senior Brother said to the other two,
“Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, you've gathered nearly enough souls. It's about time to prepare to refine your Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners and break through your cultivation.”
After hearing Seventh Senior Brother's words, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother hesitated slightly.
Finally, they said worriedly,
“Seventh Senior Brother, the souls contained within our Ten Thousand Souls Banners are mostly ordinary souls. We don't have the souls of powerful experts to serve as the principal souls. Under those circumstances, if we wish to quickly advance our Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners, I'm afraid there may be some difficulties.”
After hearing this, Seventh Senior Brother frowned slightly before pondering for a moment.
“What you said is true. In that case, the four of us shall now find some suitable principal souls for the two of you.” (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
After giving a brief explanation, Seventh Senior Brother continued,
“Junior Brothers, I've heard that the Demonic Sect has ten major sects. How about we pay the Demonic Sect a visit?”
