Chapter 256: Picking on the weak (Part )

The perfect ‘mountain and sea’ witch formation. The perfect ‘mountain and sea’ witch formation.

Round.

flawless.

Heaven and man are one.

Absolute perfection.

That group of old monsters, sixty-four of them were lined up in a battle formation. Even though each of them had the foundation of a Golden Immortal, or even above the Golden Immortal realm… their broken little bodies, their almost exhausted little souls, the witch formation they formed could only control a world of one hundred thousand miles.

And Xing Tianli, the unmartial Xing Tianli, formed a battle array with tens of millions of old Qin armored soldiers and evil ghosts in the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and assisted by hundreds of millions of ghost slaves collected from the battlefield of the Western Land. Once this battle array came out, it immediately controlled the entire Zhoutian for 36 million miles.

day.

sea.

island.

land.

There are also peaks and canyons on the seabed, as well as many mountains and hills on land. All things in the world form a grand formation.

It was a perfect formation that was unique in all its attributes, but it was thirty-six million miles versus a hundred thousand miles… Xing Tianli chuckled, pointed lightly with his right hand, and the Mountain and Sea Wizard Formation he had set up slammed fiercely into the Wizard Formation on the opposite side.

Eggs, hit eggs.

The properties of the eggs are average, but in terms of size, one is a dragon egg of an ancient dragon, and the other is the weakest quail egg.

The sixty-four old ghosts cursed in unison, and they dodged and fled at the same time. The small “Mountain and Sea” witch formation was instantly reduced to ashes. The sixty-four people soared into the sky, cursing, but it was too late.

In the huge ‘mountain and sea’ witch formation, there were earth, water, fire, wind, thunder and rain, and all kinds of heavenly phenomena overlapping each other, rolling towards the sixty-four broken and skinny figures. Then a howl was heard, and the sixty-four skinny figures shattered, just like human-shaped blood bags collapsing, and large amounts of sticky, shiny blood plasma splashed out.

These plasmas are the essence and souls of trillions of people in the central islands of Dongyun.

These guys devoured so many common people, as well as so many birds and beasts, chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs. The huge amount of blood and souls was too much to digest. Most of the blood and souls had been transmitted back to the void and sent into the huge 36,000-li human form.

A small portion of the essence and blood was stored in the bodies of these sixty-four “pioneer” monsters to repair their bodies and restore their souls.

But at this moment, their bodies were crushed by the Xing Tianli witch formation, and all the hard work was taken away by Xing Tianli.

Xing Tianli looked at the blood and ghosts that were falling from the sky like a tsunami, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled brightly: “Forget it, if it was someone else, I wouldn’t be so cruel. Since you are from Dongyun… hehe.”

The Tongtian Yuling Banner shook, and hundreds of millions of ghost slaves cheered in unison.

In the void, the rolling primordial Qi rolled down and was constantly swallowed by these ghost slaves. And the waves of falling blood and ghosts were greedily swallowed by them with their mouths wide open.

The original form of the Tongtian Yuling Banner was the magical artifact in Hu Hai’s hand that controlled millions of Qin’s soldiers and evil spirits. After it came into the hands of Xing Tianli and absorbed the ‘essence’ of many ‘innate treasures’, the Tongtian Yuling Banner has now been reborn and become extremely magical.

Its biggest feature is the ‘fixed ritual template’.

As long as Xing Tianli is willing to invest the primordial Qi and other materials such as blood essence, and souls into these ghost slaves captured by the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and as long as he specifies a template – such as the ghost king transformed by ‘Aobai’ as the template, then the Tongtian Yuling Banner will be able to rapidly upgrade these ghost slaves towards that ghost king and evolve them rapidly!
As long as the Primordial Qi and other materials are sufficient, the efficiency of the many soldiers, evil spirits and ghost slaves in the Tongtian Yuling Banner will be improved to a level that serious practitioners cannot even imagine – after all, the ‘essence’ of this small banner is a treasure of the Demonic Path… and everything in the Demonic Path is about rapid progress, even at the cost of going astray!
Would Xing Tianli be worried that these ghost slaves might go astray?
He doesn’t care.

When in the Western Continent, even if the nine small cauldrons were used to smelt the looted mountains, the amount of Primordial Qi was extremely limited. Xing Tianli himself had to practice, the nine small cauldrons had to be upgraded, the Tongtian Miaozhu, the Zishou Daoyi, and the Tongtian Yuling Banner also had to be strengthened, and there were also countless combat puppets in the pyramid that needed to be upgraded…

Primordial Qi is needed everywhere, and each one consumes huge amounts of energy.

Even with the fundamental method of “A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth”, Xing Tianli was still unable to make ends meet. He simply did not have the energy and financial resources to upgrade the countless ghost slaves in the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

but now!

The altars of Xu Fu, Hu Hai and others caused a riot in the world channel. The mighty Taichu Qi surged in from the opposite world. The Taichu Qi was no longer a problem.

And before his eyes, the blood and souls of trillions of people and countless flesh and blood creatures in the central islands of Dongyun, a small half of them are all here.

Xing Tianli silently chanted the mantra, and countless talismans on the Tongtian Yuling Banner kept lighting up.

At first, only one layer of sigils flickered.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred and eight layers of talismans and prohibitions flashed one after another.

The acquired talismans were stacked three by three and then became one, thus evolving into innate talismans; the innate talismans were also stacked three by three and then refined nine by nine, and quickly transformed from ordinary innate talismans into innate Tao seals; and the innate Tao seals were stacked in the same way, one after another, the complex and mysterious innate spiritual treasure prohibitions emerged from the ‘treasure essence’ that Xing Tianli injected into the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and were evenly integrated into the banner body layer by layer.

Hundreds of millions of ghost slaves that made up the ‘Mountain and Sea’ witch formation howled in unison. They assumed the same posture and swallowed the primordial Qi, essence, blood, and souls in big gulps. It was visible to the naked eye that their ghost bodies gradually solidified and their aura soared rapidly.

Refining Qi.

Refining Qi and transforming into God.

Refining the gods and counteracting the emptiness.

Lianxuhedao!

Above the Tongtian Yuling Banner, the shadows of several long banner-shaped innate treasures flashed by. Xing Tianli bit his tongue, and a stream of his own blood quickly spurted into the banner like a small river.

The aura of the Tongtian Yuling Banner quickly rose from that of a celestial fairy weapon to that of a golden fairy weapon. Circles of golden and purple air surrounded the Tongtian Yuling Banner. This “treasure of the magic path” actually took on a hint of the glorious, sacred, and majestic fairy charm.

In the nine small cauldrons, all the hills and mountains that Xing Tianli had looted in the past few days were burned to ashes. The magical power of “mediating destiny” was fully exerted, and Xing Tianli’s mana was drained again and again. The majestic primordial qi quickly transformed into pieces of rare divine iron, which were continuously integrated into the Tongtian Yuling Banner. Soon, the aura of this small banner, which was more than ten feet high, reached the middle level of the Golden Immortal Weapon…

Soon, the Golden Immortal weapon reached a high level.

Very fast, the Golden Immortal Weapon is complete.

The Tongtian Yuling Banner, which was rising rapidly, suddenly stopped.

Xing Tianli frowned slightly, and with a wave of his finger, another stream of his lifeblood was injected into the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

Then, extremely shrill ghost howls rose into the sky.

Among the hundreds of millions of ghost slaves whose cultivation bases were rapidly improving, one after another, some of them had their auras break through rapidly. Their ghost bodies became solid as if they were made of black iron, and they expanded to a height of about ten feet, with green faces and fangs, and their bodies covered with thick scales, just like the legendary flying yaksha, with an extremely ferocious aura.

Ghost Wonderland, breakthrough!

One, ten, a hundred…

In just a few breaths of time, driven by the blood and souls of trillions of Dongyun people, millions of ghost slaves among the hundreds of millions of ghost slaves forcibly broke through to the ghost fairyland!

Ghost immortals, even if they are the lowest level in the immortal world, millions of ghost immortals, what a terrifying force!
The stagnant aura of the Tongtian Yuling Banner suddenly surged upwards, and the banner body made a strange “crackling” sound, and it was forcibly raised to a height of about three meters. On the banner that was several meters long, ghosts and gods that looked like they were carved from gold and iron, lifelike and substantial, appeared clearly. They rushed and roared in the banner that was as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless abyss, and from time to time most of their bodies jumped out, fiercely scratching and tearing at the void.

Then, the primordial Qi in the sky was like the collapse of the sky, and it kept falling down layer by layer with a “crash”.

The aura of the Tongtian Yuling Banner, which had just broken through, at this moment was so strong that it even caused the Thunder Palace, Fire Palace and the terrace to shake slightly. Gongsun Zheng, Nanchao You and King Zhou of Shang all looked at Xing Tianli in horror.

The three important weapons they sacrificed were hundreds or thousands of times more powerful and better-grade than the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

However, these three important pieces were the treasures that the ancient human race had worked hard to build to protect their clan or country. They were supreme treasures that they had forged with great difficulty, relying on the heritage of a clan or a dynasty. As for Xing Tianli’s Tongtian Yuling Banner, it was clearly made by him.

In this Dharma-ending age, someone has managed to refine a Taiyi Immortal Weapon with his own strength… It’s simply, a living ghost. Nan Chaoyou clapped his hands and exclaimed: “Wonderful, worthy of being a descendant of Daxia… Well, Daxia’s royal family has quite a few beautiful women who are suitable for marriage. I will choose the best one and grant her the title of ‘Princess Regent’. Are you willing to marry into the royal family of Daxia?”

The corners of Xing Tianli’s eyes twitched.

What does this have to do with anything?
‘Princess Regent’?
If you dare to give me such a title, Xing Tianli would not dare to provoke me.

King Zhou of Shang laughed strangely: “Your eating manners are too ugly. When you see good things, you rush to dig into your nest. Are you born in the year of the dog? Here they come!”

Everyone looked up at the same time.

Just now, Xing Tianli’s witch formation crushed sixty-four old ghosts, shattering their bodies. The essence, blood, and souls that had just been absorbed were all plundered by Xing Tianli’s ghost slaves.

High in the sky, at the end of the sixty-four thin tentacles on the surface of the huge human figure that was thirty-six thousand miles tall, a thick bloody aura was growing in the sixty-four coffins. The flesh of the sixty-four old monsters that were crushed by the “Mountain and Sea” witch formation was re-condensed.

However, compared to when they first descended, their newly condensed bodies were even more broken, many of them were missing arms and legs, and even most of their internal organs were incomplete. They twisted madly in the coffin, chanting witch spells hysterically, and uttered the most vicious curses towards Xing Tianli.

The Tongtian Yuling Banner vibrated slightly, and waves of extremely strong witchcraft spread out, merging with the huge “mountain and sea” witch formation, protecting Xing Tianli at the core of the formation. The vicious curses from the sixty-four old ghosts came from the dark, but were shared by the 36 million miles of the world.

No matter how viciously they cursed, no matter how hard they tried, with their broken bodies and the little strength they had left, they could only cause waves of more than ten feet high on the sea surface within a hundred miles in radius. Apart from that, there was no other effect.

And those strange creatures with strange looks that awakened from the giant human figure, exuded tremendous evil power and dived towards the earth while mumbling.

Suddenly, they saw the three powerful weapons sacrificed by Gongsun Zheng and his two companions.

As soon as the three heavy weapons came out, the speed at which these strange evil creatures descended suddenly slowed down several times. Evil light surged around them, and they made a constant “chirping” sound, as if they were discussing countermeasures.

Soon, the monster with thirteen heads let out a long howl, and its limbs split apart. A large amount of mucus splattered, and a golden-red skull with blood plasma spurting out of it flew out of his body little by little with great difficulty with a shrill cry.

A group of strange creatures opened their mouths at the same time, and large amounts of sticky juice, some sticky tentacles, undigested pieces of meat, and poisonous mist with a strong fishy smell, etc., continuously spewed out of their mouths and sprayed onto the skull with a diameter of about ten feet.

With the blessing of many strange creatures, the skull suddenly expanded rapidly, and in an instant it expanded to a radius of one hundred miles.

The sticky blood was a thousand feet thick, covering the entire giant skull.

The huge skull fell straight from the sky with a deafening sound, like a small scarlet sun, and smashed down heavily on the Thunder Palace that Gongsun Zheng had summoned.

The Thunder Palace that Gongsun Zheng had summoned sensed the overwhelming evil energy coming from the skull from the sky, and it spewed out countless lightning lights, transforming into a thunder dragon that was tens of miles thick, roaring into the sky. In just three or five breaths, the two collided fiercely in the sky hundreds of thousands of miles above the ground.

With a loud bang, most of the blood on the surface of the skull collapsed.

The heavy lightning that surrounded the Thunder Palace was also mostly shattered. The two collided fiercely and were in a stalemate for a while. The thirteen-headed evil creature spurted blood from all thirteen heads, and its falling body suddenly flew backwards for thousands of miles.

Gongsun Zheng also let out a muffled groan, and blood gushed out of his seven orifices.

He shouted in a low voice: “We can’t let them step into this world… I don’t need to say anything more about their nature, right?”

Nan Chao You and King Zhou of Shang looked at each other angrily, and greeted each other in extremely vulgar street slang. Then they both flew into the air, controlling the Fire Palace and the Deer Platform respectively, and crashed into the huge skull in the sky.

There were two more loud bangs.

Flames shot up to the sky, auspicious aura filled the air, Nanchao You and King Zhou of Shang groaned in unison, blood gushing out of their seven orifices, but they managed to send the extremely evil blood-colored skeleton flying backwards for tens of thousands of miles. Many of the evil creatures that dived downwards howled miserably, thick blood mist emanating from their bodies, and their already broken bodies were even more “crackling”, with more wounds and defects appearing.

Before these evil creatures could come to their senses, another sharp scolding sounded.

“This world is our prey, and you heretics and demons will not be allowed to harm it!” The Committee, the Pantheon, and the four Golden Immortal-level beings, Emperor Ling, Emperor Bald, Hammer, and Hai Yu, also took action together.

Hammer and Haiyan put on fully enclosed heavy armor. In Xing Tianli’s opinion, their armor might be more appropriately described as “humanoid mecha”.

The entire body was covered in pitch-black armor, which was about twelve feet tall. It was full of radiant light, and the aura it exuded was enough to cause ripples in Xing Tianli’s “Mountain and Sea” witch formation.

Hammer and Haiyan were embedded in the heart of this giant “armor”, their auras were connected to the armor. As they shouted, the physical laws of the surrounding void were forcibly changed.

The magnetic field collapses.

Gravity collapse.

The two of them joined forces and in just a snap of their fingers, they created a black hole with a diameter no bigger than a little finger above everyone’s head. The entire void was twisting and shaking. Hammer and Haiyan screamed, and the small black hole shot up into the sky. With a “puff”, it hit the bloody skull that was already covered with cracks after being continuously impacted by the Thunder Palace, Fire Palace and Lutai.

This tiny black hole has extremely strong destructive power.

There was a muffled sound, and the volume of the bloody skull suddenly collapsed by 99%. The bloody skull, which was already covered with cracks, was almost shattered into pieces, and it burst into flames that were too bright to be seen with the naked eye, and it kept exploding with a “boom”.

Emperor Ling and Emperor Bald, their bodies were wriggling rapidly, dark and sticky juice gushed out of their pores, their bodies expanded rapidly, and soon, Emperor Ling turned into a humanoid monster a hundred feet tall with a dragon head and six wings; and Emperor Bald, simply mutated into a huge “brain” with a diameter of thirty miles and covered with countless tumors all over the body.

Emperor Ling let out a long roar, and countless triangular dragon scales on his body flipped over with a “crackling” sound. Countless dragon scales broke away from his body and turned into black lights that shot towards the sky.

Emperor Bald was roaring, and waves of mental fluctuations that were more than ten times more powerful than the power of Xing Tianli’s Golden Immortal Soul turned into translucent gray torrents visible to the naked eye, sweeping out one after another.

The turbid and huge spiritual torrent swept up those shooting triangular scales, like countless flying swords, with a deafening sound of splitting the air, and at a terrifying speed that was several times faster than Xing Tianli’s “Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow” escape method. It traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye and hit the chaotic group of evil creatures hard.

The extremely sharp triangular scales flew around, stabbed, and chopped, causing the broken bodies of the evil creatures to splash with countless sticky juices and large amounts of mucus. Huge gaps appeared in their bodies, and nine of the thirteen-headed evil creature’s heads were blown up in mid-air. The creature screamed and cursed in pain, and kept retreating to the sky.

The attacks of Emperor Ling, Emperor Gu, Hammer and Hai Yan had not yet ended, Wu Chan, Wu Tan and Wu Shi, together with more than a hundred of their trusted subordinates, had already taken action together.

One after another powerful artillery shells and destructive beams of light shot straight into the sky with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Huge mushroom clouds exploded in the sky, and Wu Chan yelled, “Assholes, this world belongs to us brothers. This is our homeland, and we won’t tolerate you destroying it!”

In the sky, an evil creature screamed: “But this is also our homeland!”

Wu Shi roared, “You are not human anymore, why are you still thinking about this place? Get out, get out, get out, as far away as you can!”

As soon as Wu Shi said this, Xing Tianli and the others all looked at this group of iron lumps.

That’s right, you’re not even a ‘human’ anymore. Are you talking about yourself, Wu Shi?

Wu Shi was stunned and cursed angrily: “Asshole, why are you looking at your ancestors? Although we have no flesh and blood, our hearts are still the pure hearts of great witches!”

Xing Tianli’s face twitched. Well, you’ve got a good excuse!

At the side, Renov also let out a long roar, and rushed straight into the sky with a graceful fairy light. He formed seals with his hands and let out a loud roar. Suddenly, the sky was filled with jade-colored fairy thunder that rushed straight into the sky and hit those evil creatures on the head.

Xing Tianli just let out a loud shout, and with the blessing of millions of ghost immortals, the power of the ‘Mountain and Sea’ witch formation soared a hundred times and slowly rose into the sky, sweeping up the power of heaven and earth in a radius of billions of miles, and crushed towards those evil creatures.

In the void, the huge figure 36,000 miles tall muttered in a low voice: “We are too weak. We need to nourish ourselves. Since this place won’t let us return, then let’s go to the world on the other side.”

“Haha, in that world, we only left behind the most basic cultivation methods. The limit of their power is only that of a celestial being. There is absolutely no way they can resist our return.”

“Go, go, let’s go there.”

“After a good meal, come back here.”
