Chapter 365: A Sword Arrives from the South

Above the sky, the heavens and earth roiled, the laws were in chaos, and two great formations faced each other.

Wu Luoyue and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators were all restrained.

Atop the peaks of the mountains below, Liu Kui battled with Puppet Master Mo and had fallen into a disadvantage, completely suppressed, almost becoming a puppet himself!

At this point, the five Nascent Soul cultivators who had crossed over from the other realm were all powerless to make another move!

This world, sealed for tens of thousands of years, had erupted with unimaginable power today, forcibly resisting the peak strength of the three great immortal sects!

Although they were currently in a stalemate, once Chu Liang successfully broke through, the situation would completely change!

Both sides were clear that his Nascent Soul would definitely not be an ordinary one.

At this moment, the two realms shook, the heavens and earth changed color, and strange phenomena continued, all because of his breakthrough.

“If he succeeds in his breakthrough, my Yin Soul Sect’s grand plan of ten thousand years will come to nothing!” Wu Luoyue was anxious, and the sacred beast he had transformed into became increasingly violent, madly attacking the nine golden dragons, but it was all in vain!

New forces must be brought in, otherwise, there was no way to break this stalemate!

In the distance, Fan Xiefeng, the Sect Leader of the Yin Gu Sect, transmitted his voice: “Wu Luoyue, your Yin Soul Sect has been passed down for so many years, do you not have any powerful heritage or trump cards you can use?”

Wu Luoyue replied, “Of course, we do.”

“Then use them!” Fan Xiefeng urged, “If not now, then when?”

“No, wait a little longer…”

Wu Luoyue was conflicted. He only had one last trump card left, and if he used it, it would truly be gone.

What if a new crisis arose afterward?

At this time, Liu Kui’s voice transmission also came from below: “Wu Luoyue, if you are reluctant to use your trump card, then send a message to the disciples and elders of your sect to cross over and slaughter the mortals of this world!”

Wu Luoyue was startled: “What?”

“Only two of the nine people leading the Nine Dragons Overturning Heaven Formation are Nascent Soul cultivators. The reason they can contend with the four of you is that they are borrowing the power of the mountains, rivers, and all living beings!”

Liu Kui transmitted his voice to the people above while battling Puppet Master Mo.

He continued: “Now that the cultivators of this lower realm have all entered the formation, becoming the cornerstones of the mountains and rivers, no one can protect the mortals. Do you understand what I mean?”

Fan Xiefeng spoke: “Sect Leader Liu is right. Slaughtering the mortals of this lower realm can indeed affect the Nine Dragons Overturning Heaven Formation, weakening it.”

“But… but directly slaughtering the mortals of this realm will incur too much karma…”

Wu Luoyue’s expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment.

Killing mortals would indeed affect the Nine Dragons Overturning Heaven Formation, but the required slaughter would be massive.

Killing a few thousand or even tens of thousands would have no significant effect. Even killing hundreds of thousands or even millions would not have much impact. The number of killings would have to start at tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions or even billions.

Liu Kui shouted coldly: “At this point, you are still hesitating, worried about karma? If I had known you had such a mentality, I should not have gotten involved in this mess today!”

In the distance, the Nascent Soul elder of the Yin Kui Sect, who had transformed into a sacred beast, also said: “Wu Luoyue, time is of the essence. Why are you still hesitating? If you delay any longer, Wu Xiaoyun won’t be able to hold back the old geezers outside your sect!”

“Alright, stop urging me. I understand!”

Wu Luoyue took a deep breath. It had come to this, he had no choice!

As long as the ten-thousand-year plan could succeed, then even the greatest karma could be borne!

He immediately began to send messages, instructing the many Golden Core elders, Foundation Establishment deacons, and Qi Refining disciples of the sect to cross over.

“Hear my command, descend to the lower realm quickly, kill the mortals of this world, and destroy the mountains and rivers of this world!”

To eliminate the concerns of the many disciples, he directly issued a mission in the Merit Hall—the more they killed, the more rewards they would receive from the sect!

Puppets, magical artifacts, Yin Souls, Foundation Establishment Pills, etc…

All kinds of rewards were available!

The souls of the mortals killed did not need to be offered to the sect and could be directly collected into their own Soul-Honoring Banners!

Seeing the generous rewards and conditions, no one could resist the temptation, especially the many Qi Refining disciples. They didn’t care about karma, they just wanted to desperately increase their strength.

As long as they were strong enough, what did it matter if they were entangled in the karma of all the heavens?

“My Soul-Honoring Banner has only just reached a thousand souls. The sect has finally lifted the restrictions. This time, when I descend to the lower realm, I might be able to refine ten thousand or even a hundred thousand souls!”

“Haha, how can a hundred thousand be enough? I want to refine a million souls!”

“Fellow martial brothers, this time when we descend to the lower realm, let’s have a competition to see who can kill the most mortals?”

“Alright!”

“Let’s do it!”

The cultivation techniques of the Yin Soul Sect were inherently ruthless, and most of the disciples within the sect were also vicious and bloodthirsty. To become stronger, they were capable of anything!

◈◈◈

Even the 《Life Severing Technique》, a forbidden technique publicly recognized as evil in the Immortal Realm, was being practiced by some disciples within the sect.

They had no psychological barriers to this slaughter.

Most of the Foundation Establishment deacons and Golden Core elders were also tempted, intending to use this opportunity to descend to the lower realm to increase their strength.

They came to the passage between the two realms and began to cross over.

On the other side of the passage.

The human world.

Lights flashed, and the figures of immortals appeared on the peak of Mount Tai.

They all came with killing intent, and their intense killing intent merged with the heavens and earth, spreading in all directions, permeating the entire world.

At this moment, all living beings in the world felt it.

“What’s going on? Why is it suddenly so oppressive, as if a great disaster is coming?”

“The nine emperors have already stabilized the formation, we shouldn’t be feeling this way.”

They looked up and saw that the sky was blood red, and boundless killing intent dyed the sky!

Above the sky, the nine generations of emperors, transformed into golden divine dragons, instantly understood the intentions of Wu Luoyue and the others.

Liang Changsheng shouted: “Slaughtering mortals is a heinous crime. Are you not afraid of karmic retribution?”

Wu Luoyue’s face was twisted, his eyes filled with a hint of madness. He no longer cared about such things and shouted: “If you hadn’t resisted, would I have ordered them to kill? It is you who have harmed those mortals!”

Liang Changsheng said angrily: “What nonsense!”

Wu Luoyue roared: “If you hadn’t resisted, none of this would have happened! You also have karma, you also have to bear the guilt!”

With that, he looked at the many disciples below, the black beast he had transformed into roared, its voice shaking the heavens and earth.

“What are you waiting for? Begin the slaughter immediately!”

“Yes!”

The many disciples acknowledged the order, their faces filled with excitement.

The many immortals of the Great Liang had already entered the formation, and there was no one who could stop them.

Now, the countless mortals in the entire world were, in their eyes, nothing but nourishment without any ability to resist!

Above the sky, Liang Changsheng was furious: “It has come to this, there is no other way, we must use this item!”

He took out a blood-red jade pendant, one of the trump cards of the Great Liang.

He was unwilling to use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

Liang Changsheng gripped the jade pendant, about to crush it.

Just then, a woman’s voice sounded in his ear: “Your Majesty, it is not yet the final moment. Let me deal with those Yin Soul Sect cultivators.”

“You are?”

Liang Changsheng was stunned and looked down at the world below the sky.

He saw a grand and brilliant sword light rising from the south, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, sweeping across the vast land, and striking the peak of Mount Tai with a single sword.

Boom!

On the mountaintop, the many Yin Soul Sect disciples who were about to start the slaughter were all shattered.
