Chapter 906: Chapter 74: Sword Drawn, Shocking the Demon Cave (Part 1)
In the Soul Refining Demon Cave, to survive, one must exist in the form of a Yin Spirit to have hope.
Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, entering the Soul Refining Demon Cave, the survival rate is essentially zero.
The condition to advance by killing three Tai Chu Yin Spirits is not to bring cultivators to the Soul Refining Demon Cave to die, after all, places with Yin Spirits are not limited to just the Soul Refining Demon Cave.
It’s just that the Soul Refining Demon Cave definitely has Yin Spirits, whereas other places may not necessarily encounter Tai Chu Yin Spirits.
The difficulty of this ascension task for the Purgatory Refiner is truly meant to make the aspirants either retreat or use their wisdom and skills to complete this nearly impossible task.
This is a true test of life and death.
But for Zhou Yan, knowing the characteristics and aura form of the Tai Chu Yin Spirit and having personally seen the Crystal War Chariot, with the Tai Chu Yin Spirit’s soul energy in his body, it is naturally not difficult to manifest this form by applying the Xingyi Domain Rules.
In fact, the Yin Spirit he transforms into would be difficult to distinguish even for a king among the Tai Chu Yin Spirits.
…
“Pssh—”
The Yin Qi of a Yin Spirit directly penetrated the divine body of a cultivator in green clothes.
The cultivator in green clothes trembled all over, feeling as if he would freeze, shivering from the cold, but he gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes flashing with scarlet blood light, blocking the oncoming Yin Spirit.
“Run! Run quickly! We can never defeat the Yin Spirits, Junior Han, run quickly!”
“No, I won’t leave! Senior Brother Lian, your talent is better than mine, and your future achievements will surpass mine. If you kill the Outer Heaven Demons on the Outer Realm Battlefield, you’ll surely kill more than I can! Run quickly, I’ll hold them off! If you don’t escape now, you won’t be able to get away!”
“Junior Han, you’re crazy! Your youth is your greatest advantage, your future path is still long, Senior Brother has already suffered soul body damage, it’s incurable, and I will surely become useless in the future! Go!”
The young man roared fiercely, stabbing the Yin Spirit with his spear, piercing through it while the powerful Yin Qi swept over again.
“Pfft—”
The young man in green spit out a large mouthful of blood, suffering another heavy blow.
On the other side, Junior Han still refused to leave, attacking the Yin Spirits madly, wanting to reduce his senior brother’s burden.
“Junior Han, if you don’t leave, Senior Brother will kill himself right here! Are you going or not?!”
The young man in green roared, almost going mad.
His seven orifices bled due to the severe injury, yet he was still frantically attacking.
At this moment, the Yin Spirit let out a chilling, shrill scream that summoned a fierce Yin wind, making people’s skin crawl and sending a chill to their hearts.
“We can’t escape now, it’s calling its companions. Senior Brother, stop talking, if we can’t live together as brothers, let’s die together.”
Junior Han’s eyes showed determination but spoke bitterly.
He had already abandoned hope of survival, falling into the same madness.
“These damned Yin Spirits, they’ve burst out of the Soul Refining Demon Cave, kill one and we’ll gain one, kill two, it’s a profit.”
“Good! Kill one, and the Outer Heaven Demon Domain will have one less powerful Heavenly Demon! Even if we die, we have no regrets!”
Senior Brother Lian also realized the seriousness of the situation, knowing that even if he fought to the death, his junior brother could no longer escape.
Besides feeling bitter, helpless, and frustrated, he also felt a bit of regret.
Regret that he failed in studying the Rune Ancient Array, being transported to the outskirts of this Soul Refining Demon Cave, otherwise, he wouldn’t have endangered his junior brother.
He let out a heavy sigh, yet mustered his divine soul power, forcibly deploying his domain to suppress the cruel but invisible attacks of the Yin Spirits.
“Whoosh, whoosh—”
Suddenly, two streams of light appeared in the sky, and a pair of female cultivators wearing light yellow chiffon dresses flew over somewhat clumsily, followed by three incredibly powerful Yin Spirits.
Among them, one Yin Spirit had even grown skeletal fangs, its skeleton crystal-colored.
“Senior Brothers, run quickly! The Yin Spirits are chasing us—”
The two women flew past, but before they could warn them, they suddenly sensed the change in the Yin Spirits and their faces instantly turned pale.
“It’s over, there are Yin Spirits in front as well, three of them. We can’t escape.”
The two girls in chiffon dresses staggered and fell, looking somewhat embarrassed, shivering from the intense Yin Corpse Cold Qi.
Their blood energy constantly dispersed the endless Yin Corpse Qi, yet they couldn’t drive away the chilling gloom that seemed almost to devour souls.
“Two sisters from the Mount Bu, sorry, our Carefree Sect has dragged you down.”
“Senior Brothers, no need to be formal. Our two sects are quite close, with some interaction between us, meeting here is fate, yet we’ll fall together in this place.”
One of the chiffon-dressed girls replied.
“Let’s fight desperately; the Yin Spirit has already summoned its companions, we can’t escape.”
“Yes, fight desperately, death without regret.”
The chiffon-dressed girl said solemnly.
The four came together, wholeheartedly resisting the Yin Spirits. The powerful Yin Spirits unleashed fatal attacks constantly, and Senior Brother Lian and Junior Han, along with their sisters, desperately tried to fend them off to buy time for the two women.
The two women’s soul power was like a clear spring, beneficial and covering Senior Brother Lian and Junior Han, even in a bloody, perilous state, they did not abandon the soul power support.
The four formed a temporary balance.
They had never cooperated, nor were they familiar with each other, but in such a deadly perilous environment, they instantly worked as one.
This was a very ordinary scene.
The Soul Refining Demon Cave seemed often to have cultivators mistakenly enter, such tragic scenes happened frequently.
To die far from home, grief spread over the land.
They didn’t die on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield, but in the Purgatory Demon Cave.
A dense crowd of Tai Chu Yin Spirits roamed in as time passed, like fierce souls and evil ghosts.
Apart from the six Yin Spirits fighting the four cultivators, nearly a hundred Yin Spirits were approaching from the distance.
Senior Brother Lian, Junior Brother Han, and the two girls from Mount Bu all had ashen faces, their eyes showing despair.
“Two sisters, leave your names, then self-transform your Tao, shatter the domain, we’ll hold on for a while longer.”
Facing nearly a hundred Yin Spirits at close range, the four had already given up hope.
At this, Senior Brother Lian suddenly spoke.
“Senior Brothers, I, Little Sister, am Wei Qingqing from Mount Bu, and Wei Mumu, unable to share your burden, unwilling to strengthen the enemy. Please, Senior Brothers, leave your names, and if by chance we live to see another life, let’s fight together again.”
“Lian Cheng.”
“Han Ning.”
“Senior Brother Lian Cheng, Senior Brother Han Ning, Qingqing and Mumu, we’re leaving.”
“We’ll follow by self-transforming our Tao, not giving the Yin Spirits even a morsel.”
Lian Cheng and Han Ning suddenly moved forward, using their bodies to block the countless incoming Yin Spirits, preparing to give Wei Qingqing and Wei Mumu the chance to self-transform their Tao.
But—
Wei Qingqing and Wei Mumu suddenly froze, looking at the void with disbelief, as if seeing the most incredible sight.
Lian Cheng and Han Ning were stunned, almost instinctively looking over too.
That one glance turned the worldview of Lian Cheng and Han Ning upside down.
