Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 835: Chapter 327: Second Rank Expandable Opportunity (Double-Length Chapter)

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls was still fluttering, but most of the dark aura had dispersed.

As for Zhou Zheng, who previously wielded this treasure, his soul had scattered and his remains were nowhere to be found.

Beside him, An Zhiyu was dumbstruck.

Li Yuanyuan and Mu Sheng were equally astonished.

Prior to this Netherworld counter-assault into the Mortal World, the true essence of Inner Mount Shu’s Taoist laws and artifact refining was unknown to the people of Great Tang. Thus, during their exchanges, An Zhiyu and others quietly gleaned some information, gaining insight into the current situation between the Great Tang Realm and the Mount Shu Sect here.

So when Ye Dongming discovered the clues about Inner Mount Shu, Zhou Zheng, An Zhiyu, and others acted decisively, confident they had some measure of control.

Even with Zhang Dongyuan returning with the Blue Abyss Sword later, Zhou Zheng, An Zhiyu, and others were equally prepared.

But now the sudden appearance of "Chen Donglou" took them by surprise.

Not to mention the people of Inner Mount Shu, even many within the Great Tang Shu Mountain Sect had never seen Elder Chen’s legendary actions firsthand, so their attention was similarly drawn.

"Chen Donglou" sneered as he looked below and casually waved his hand.

The mountain rock shook, and the sword light of the Seven-Star Sword flickered once more.

An Zhiyu, Li Yuanyuan, and Mu Sheng shivered all over, waking up immediately, and fled towards the Netherworld entrance beneath the summit.

Mu Sheng wanted to retrieve the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, but a buzzing sound rang in his ears.

From the depths of his Immortal Soul, a tremor of fear arose.

Daring not to hesitate in the slightest, Mu Sheng’s Immortal Soul shook in place.

He had not reached the Daoist Artifact Refining Sect’s Eighth Heavenly Layer Three Immortal Boundless Celestial Seas realm, and his Immortal Soul could not directly traverse and move through the void.

But when the Tianquan Sword of the Seven-Star Sword flew instantly and pierced through his body, Mu Sheng’s body was no longer in its original position.

In its place was a gigantic White Bone Demon Lord.

The White Bone Demon Lord was tall and ferocious, yet at this moment, it seemed as fragile as paper. It was pierced by the terrifying sword light on the spot, while lightning and fire exploded outward, instantly shattering it completely.

At the crucial moment, Mu Sheng exchanged his position with a White Bone Demon Lord, narrowly escaping disaster.

The mystical nature of it was somewhat similar to part of the Witchcraft Ghost Path lineage’s heritage.

Mu Sheng’s Eight Desolation White Bone Beads were similar yet different in finesse to Chen Donglou’s Seven-Star Sword; both involved refining six earlier life-bound magical artifacts with two life-bound magical treasures when cultivating to the Eightfold Heaven, appearing as eight combined into one, seamlessly integrated, and dispersing or gathering at will.

Although the refining process involved untold amounts of blood, the aura was fierce and eerie, it had its own unique utility.

However, after just sacrificing one White Bone Demon Lord, Mu Sheng had no time to breathe as sword light flickered before him.

The Yaoguang Sword of the Seven-Star Sword shot forth in an instant!

Mu Sheng’s Immortal Soul trembled and switched places with another White Bone Demon Lord.

But the sword light flashed repeatedly at incredible speed.

The Seven-Star Sword didn’t need to target the remaining six White Bone Demon Lords one by one; it just swiftly shot, pursuing Mu Sheng himself.

Mu Sheng dodged two more strikes, but when the fifth sword light shot towards him, he failed to switch in time.

His Immortal Soul was directly pierced by the flying sword!

Mu Sheng cried out miserably, unable to maintain his humanoid Immortal Soul form, which twisted and burned.

Then with the sixth sword, he was further unable to evade, as the sword light passed through, immediately beheading another High Merit Elder of Inner Mount Shu.

Mu Sheng’s own life and death resulted in the remaining few White Bone Demon Lords, affected by the connection, wailing and burning wildly, perishing alongside their master.

As "Chen Donglou" targeted Mu Sheng, members of the Great Tang Shu Mountain Sect likewise sprang into action, besieging An Zhiyu and Li Yuanyuan.

An Zhiyu dared not hesitate at all, and his Immortal Soul merged with his life-bound magic treasure, Mist Garment.

Sinister water waves surged as they flowed, while below ground within the mountain belly, the Netherworld Water rushed upwards into the heavens, originally entwined with the Blue Abyss Sword, now stirred by An Zhiyu’s activation, flickering rapidly.

The anomalous dual-colored light flickered ominously, nine times in succession.

Then suddenly it exploded, expanding outward in all directions.

"Chen Donglou" saw this and frowned slightly.

The Seven-Star Sword flew along with him into the Surging Heavens Nine Springs.

The Nine Springs continued to rush upwards, but its momentum immediately stopped expanding.

His Primordial Magnet Flying Sword was indeed powerful, but at the moment wasn’t suitable for controlling the rampant Netherworld. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Fortunately, he had other divine skills and methods.

Moreover, thanks to the cover of the overflowing water waves from the Nine Springs, he wasn’t worried about being detected by outsiders.

Truly, external parties, whether friend or foe, at present were indeed too busy to concern themselves with "Chen Donglou" in the stream.

With Elder Chen suppressing the Nine Springs, the people of the Great Tang Shu Mountain Sect collectively felt at ease, unfettered, continuing their pursuit of Inner Mount Shu’s An Zhiyu and Li Yuanyuan.

Escaping the entanglement of the dual-colored sinister light, Zhang Dongyuan wielded the Blue Abyss Sword to instantly slash towards the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Plainly, this magical treasure’s quality, power, and significance to the Inner Mount Shu lineage surpassed that of the Mist Garment, Eight Desolation White Bone Beads, Soul-Attracting Bell, and other treasures.

With commanding azure light, cleaving the skies and cracking the earth, it immediately burst through the remaining black clouds on the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

But at that exact moment the sword light touched the black banner itself, the banner suddenly moved without wind.

On its surface, countless Curse Marks appeared.

Though the Blue Abyss Sword was fierce, slashing the Curse Marks apart and even leaving a tear in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

But the sword light also violently shook, repelled by some invisible force, flying backward.

Suddenly, even more copious black mist spread out, obscuring both Xu Duan and other Mount Shu cultivators as well as Zhang Taigang, who had just regained the North Abyss Divine Spear.

Li Yuanyuan quickly seized the opportunity to step forward, grasping the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, and alongside An Zhiyu, darted into the underground Netherworld entrance.
