Chapter 623: Chapter 312: Secret Realm Upheaval! Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King!
In the places they passed through, there was clearly no sound, yet in the ears of cultivators with Divine Sense, it was like a soul-stealing melody.
"This is bad!"
The Nascent Soul Cultivators who had possessed bodies all turned pale, because they had delved too deeply into the Secret Realm, resulting in them being at the rear when attempting to escape.
This ghostly wail of Divine Soul attack directly turned their faces ashen, and for some Nascent Soul Cultivators not adept in soul techniques, their eyes filled with blood, and they let out cries of unwillingness.
"Damn it! This isn’t over!"
"Damn ghost cultivators!"
Each Nascent Soul Cultivator cursed in agony as their possessed Divine Souls collapsed, the pain of it unmentionable.
More importantly, the cultivators who could be possessed were either their Direct Disciples or descendants by blood. With the loss of their possessive protection,
each let out cries of pain and fell into the sea.
Only two Nascent Soul possessed cultivators, adept at escaping and with soul treasures, wore expressions of immense pain and reluctantly burned half of their host body’s Essence Blood, barely managing to escape.
But those Core Formation Cultivators in the distance were not so fortunate.
Under this piercing ghostly wail, their eyes went blank, and with the sound of several splashes, they fell into the sea one after another.
Then, countless Yin Spirits emerged densely from the cracks in the barrier, pouncing greedily, devouring flesh and Divine Soul, turning them into nourishment for the Yin Spirits.
Only a few Core Formation Cultivators with protective treasures, though heavily injured, used their Essence Blood in terror to flee.
At the moment of the upheaval in this place, among the Nascent Soul cultivators plotting here, some were in seclusion in their cave abodes while others were out traveling.
The result was their split Divine Sense being forcibly scattered, causing their faces to turn pale as they spat blood, and their expressions turned into one of rage.
The sudden change in the Secret Realm naturally alerted many cultivators in the surrounding sea domain, especially those who were far away and had just planned to head over, who now retreated in fear.
With the terrifying ghost mist rampaging, a ghost cultivator with a ferocious tiger-headed human body roared, causing the entire sea region to tremble.
In the distance, at the outskirts of the Five Dragons Island Sea Region.
"Six... Sixth Elder, this is a Transformed Nascent Soul Realm Yin Spirit Beast King!"
The Core Formation Cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall who accompanied them turned pale, looking in horror at the distant scene.
As a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, the Sixth Elder, feeling this powerful presence, instead curved his lips into a smile.
"You old ghosts who covetously plotted over the Yin Soul Sect’s treasures within the Secret Realm, this time you have suffered such a huge loss; it should teach you a lesson."
"It’s just a pity that this Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King broke the barrier so quickly; it seems the barrier has been severely damaged these years."
The Sixth Elder felt a tinge of regret, thinking that if it had been delayed a bit longer, more old fellows might have entered, and then facing a Tier Four Middle Stage Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King...
Just the thought of it was amusing.
What they call Yin Spirits and ghost cultivators are, in fact, magical life forms created by the serendipitous preservation of the souls of dead cultivators and demon beasts, merging with an area of Yin Vein.
However, Low Tier cultivators have low intelligence, and a Tier Three Yin Spirit only develops beast-like wisdom, with true intelligence and awakening of past life memories happening only at Tier Four.
Yet despite retaining all memories of their past life, they are markedly different from the cultivators or demon beasts they once were, viewed as entirely new beings.
And they are extremely vengeful!
These are their flaws, but their advantage is a long life!
"You all, you’ve been too comfortable these past few hundred years. Even the younger generation lacks this bit of experience."
The Sixth Elder shook his head calmly as he observed the frightened expressions of those behind him.
"Forgive us, Elder; we are truly worried that the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King will take revenge on the surrounding sea regions!"
This area is adjacent to several sea domains governed by Bihai Palace, and against the vengeance of a heartless Yin Spirit Beast King, no one can stop it.
But the Sixth Elder smiled after hearing this.
"No need to worry, this Yin Spirit Beast King is bound to the island for life and cannot leave."
Under the powerful Divine Sense of the Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Sixth Elder could clearly see the ferocious roar of the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King.
The terrifying aura fused with the gigantic Spirit Island’s Yin Spring Spirit Vein, and seeing this, the Sixth Elder secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"The Second Palace Master’s foresight was indeed impressive, revealing the existence of a Yin Spirit Beast King to the Yin Soul Sect, eradicating it which was once one of the Twenty-four Sects guarding the sea.
With the foundation of several thousand years and two Nascent Soul Cultivators, the Yin Soul Sect was destroyed."
Though the Great Palace Master of Bihai Palace is the strongest combatant among Demon Beasts in the Sea Abyss, and seemingly awe-inspiring, they actually fear the Second Palace Master more.
The Second Palace Master appears gentle, but is actually extremely ruthless in his methods.
He knew very well the true cause of the destruction of the Yin Soul Sect.
"But didn’t you Yin Soul Sect achieve your purpose!"
With this thought, the Sixth Elder revealed a mocking smile.
Even though your Yin Soul Sect was greedy enough to attempt suppressing a Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King as your sect’s guardian spirit,
you can only blame yourselves for failing to withstand the backlash of the Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, resulting in your entire sect and island transforming into a ghost island.
...
The shocking upheaval in the Yin Soul Sect’s Secret Realm spread like a hurricane throughout the Demon Beast Abyss.
Countless cultivators were alarmed and angered, especially the several Nascent Soul old devils who suffered losses and were gnashing their teeth in hatred.
However, the Bihai Palace played the role of the villain accusing first, claiming outwardly to censure these Nascent Soul old devils for arbitrarily using possession technique on their disciples within the Secret Realm.
Greedy in their pursuit of the Xuan Yin Sect’s legacy, they caused such great calamity.
This righteous rebuke let countless Loose Cultivators see the recklessness of these Demon Dao individuals.
The Nascent Soul old devils of the Demon Dao, feeling aggrieved under such accusations, found being burdened with this blame was trivial, yet the extent of their losses made their hatred seethe.
They wouldn’t believe that Bihai Palace had no hand in this behind the scenes.
And when Lin Chang’an returned on the Spiritual Boat, he found that cataclysmic changes had occurred in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, leaving him astonished and shocked.
"Are you saying the Secret Realm was transformed into a complete ghostly domain?"
"Elder, rumors say that the Tier Four Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King became connected to the Yin Vein on the island of the Yin Soul Sect for some reason.
It cannot stray too far from the Spirit Vein, otherwise its strength will continuously decline..."
Before the Spiritual Boat reached the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, they were already intercepted by cultivators from the Profound Sound Pavilion, steering them onto a new course.
"Trapped on Yin Soul Island, which has now transformed into a ghostly domain, with numerous Core Formation stage Yin Spirits as well..."
My goodness.
On hearing about the upheaval, Lin Chang’an was first taken aback, then his eyes became filled with deep worries.
With such heavy casualties, what about Yun Yao!?
Hopefully nothing has happened to her!
He hadn’t anticipated that such drastic changes would occur just from being away for a short while.
"Master!"
The Sword Servant standing behind seemed to sense their master’s anxiety and frowned deeply.
Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, revealing in his palm two Sound Transmission Jade Talismans.
Yet despite continually sending messages to Yun Yao’s jade talisman, it was like stones sinking into the sea without a response.
But Hu Jin’s talisman returned shortly after.
"Old Lin, you’re finally back. You don’t know how lucky you were to be away from Five Dragons Island. I saw it all with my own eyes that day.
Thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators and nearly a hundred Core Formation cultivators entered, and none came out. It was a tragedy, and now this whole sea region has become a ghostly domain..."
Hu Jin’s exaggerated voice echoed from the Sound Transmission Talisman, but Lin Chang’an couldn’t find it in him to smile, remaining silent instead.
Yun Yao!
Hoping it’s just the distance making the Sound Transmission Talisman ineffective.
...
Amidst the pervasive Yin vapors of Profound Yin Island.
Old Xuan Yin, with a sullen face, displayed a sinister cold smile.
"Good, good! Well played, Bihai Palace. Everyone was affected, except your Bihai Palace remained unscathed; this isn’t over between us!
That place opens in less than a hundred years, and we’ll settle this score then!"
This time, his Profound Yin Divine Sect had suffered significant losses, mostly among the elite, and to say it didn’t hurt him would be a lie.
