Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 301 - 162: Nascent Soul Level Sect (2)

The five sword embryos that were just defeated reappeared in an instant, and this time, their power was even greater than before.

Of course, he didn't know that the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd nourishes sword qi, with the Five Ghosts Sword Embryo floating inside. As they gradually detached from their origins, they had already merged with the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd, ready to replenish energy and unleash power once more at any time.

However, the next scene made the dark-skinned man's face twitch and his heart jump in shock.

"Combine!"

Suddenly, Zheng Yi opened his arms, clasped them together, and compressed downward. Under the pressure of the Purple Demon Flame, the five sword embryos fused into one, transforming into an enormous five-colored long sword.

The surface of the five swords glimmered and merged into one in an instant, successfully integrating the power of the Five Elements.

Just as the Nether Flame Divine Steed was about to rush in, the fused five-colored giant sword, now an amalgamation of the power of the five sword embryos, slashed fiercely at the roaring ferocious beast's head.

Pfft!

The five-colored sword qi, condensed from the five sword embryos, actually represented the essence of the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd's condensation. It contained unparalleled sharpness, and when it slashed down, it was as easy as a hot knife cutting through butter, effortlessly splitting the Nether Flame Divine Steed in half, directly dividing it into evenly sized halves.

The entire process was as fast as lightning. Before the dark-skinned man could react, the Nether Flame Divine Steed let out a tragic whinny, reverting to a magical artifact, and split into two pieces from the middle.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood spurted out. With his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact broken, especially during the Spirit Transformation stage, it was a severe blow. The dark-skinned man's Divine Soul was instantly heavily injured, his face turning deathly pale, as if all his resolve had been drained away.

"Spare..."

Fear was written all over his face as he looked at Zheng Yi with trembling eyes, his voice a beast-like wail.

This sword not only severed his Lifebound Flute but also cut off his path to advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm, leaving him with no chance to progress further, making him feel like spitting blood from frustration.

Yet now, all of that was overshadowed by the horror of the impending great threat.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

Even a cultivator like him could not escape this reality.

"Go!"

However, Zheng Yi's expression was cold, devoid of pity or any wavering. With a flick of his finger, the five-colored giant sword, fused from the five sword embryos, slashed straight toward the Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator.

"Go!"

It was too late for the dark-skinned man to plead for mercy. Zheng Yi's resolve to kill him was firm. In his eyes, the five-colored giant sword appeared to enlarge, and a trace of fear involuntarily crept over his face as he let out a beast-like roar.

The next second, the sword qi passed through him, and the Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator was cut in half, internal organs and intestines splattering. The strong scent of blood hadn't yet spread through the air before it was enveloped by a sea of blood and absorbed by the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array.

This Outer Realm cultivator had powerful methods, adaptable and resourceful. His rapid defeat was partly due to being suppressed within the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array, unable to break free.

"Still thinking of escaping now, you're truly dreaming!"

Then, Zheng Yi spoke with cold indifference. With a flip of his left hand, another similarly exquisite gourd appeared by his side.

But this gourd was entirely pitch black, like a perfectly crafted piece of black jade, resembling a miniature black hole, emitting an eerie and chilling aura.

The Ghost Nurturing Gourd appeared in his hand. Zheng Yi activated it with his magical power, pointing the gourd's mouth in a specific direction. Amidst ghostly wails, it seemed countless vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts stretched out their claws, trying to capture souls into the gourd.

Instantly, a gust of yin wind arose, and a majestic suction power erupted from within the gourd.

Black mist enveloped the previously empty space, and suddenly, a miniature avatar with a terrified, astonished look appeared, still twisting and struggling, its virtual shadow flickering. Like a drowning person, it cried out, but no sound reached the material realm.

On closer inspection, one would recognize it as the recently slain dark-skinned man by Zheng Yi's sword. Now, the Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator's Divine Soul shadow twisted, shrinking smaller and smaller.

Indeed, this person was experienced in battle, skilled in combat techniques and escape methods.

When the great sword's attack loomed, this Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator had decisively performed the lizard tail-cutting maneuver, abandoning his physical body to escape, hoping to deceive and survive.

Zheng Yi had merely slain his physical body.

If it had been anyone else, they might have been deceived. Despite the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array's strength, it was a group-formed array with dispersed power, mainly targeting the cultivator's physical body and blood qi; it was somewhat lacking in dealing with the Divine Soul. Unfortunately, he encountered Zheng Yi.

Even though the opponent's methods were incredibly discreet, Zheng Yi's Divine Soul was immensely vast, and even the slightest change could not escape his perception.

The use of the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, forming a ghost realm with overwhelming yin qi, left no room for any Divine Soul's enigmatic tricks to escape the Three Yin Qi Ghost Nurturing Gourd's devouring. Attempting to flee was futile and rendered powerless.

"Dare to kill me? The Heaven-Locking Temple will surely retaliate. My sect will avenge me…"

Knowing he could not escape, the dark-skinned man no longer begged Zheng Yi for mercy, realizing the other wouldn't spare him, just as if he were the victor, he wouldn't spare Zheng Yi.

His Divine Soul shadow was bizarrely constricted, twisting smaller, becoming a tiny sesame seed, letting out wounded beast-like roars to no avail, unable to alter the outcome of being absorbed into the Ghost Nurturing Gourd. Shouting couldn't save his life.

At the conclusion of Zheng Yi's battle, the other two Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and High Tier of Foundation Establishment Outer Realm cultivators were also slain.

Under the suppression of the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array and the siege of over a hundred Foundation Establishment and High Tier of Qi Cultivators, their bodies were battered to ruins, exploding into fragments mid-air. Even their Divine Souls, locked within the array, were all taken into the Ghost Nurturing Gourd.

Soon, the array disappeared, and except for some mess at the scene, the entire valley seemed unchanged, returning to its former tranquility.

Nobody would have expected that right here, not long ago, two Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and a Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator all mysteriously fell and perished completely.

Whether bodies or Divine Souls, none escaped, all taken by the Ghost Nurturing Gourd!

With plenty of time before the full moon marking the opening of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, Zheng Yi had no plans to linger here, as this might attract attention.

Instead, he instructed nine Foundation Establishment cultivators to lead separate teams back, making it less noticeable.

He assigned a few clever cultivators to stay stationed. If abnormalities were discovered, they could report later—these tasks were handed over to Qi Lin.

Zheng Yi himself slipped away silently, like a phantom, quietly returning to the headquarters of the Daluo Alliance.

…

"As expected, these three Outer Realm cultivators were greedy and hadn't yet conveyed the discovery of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion."

After a Soul Searching, Zheng Yi quickly found memories regarding the Secret Immortal Sect. Although they were scattered, fragmented pieces, they corroborated most of Yi Qing Zi's information.

The remaining missing parts had little impact on the overall picture.

What Zheng Yi was most concerned about was that the three Outer Realm cultivators hailed from the Profound Spirit Realm's Heaven-Locking Temple.

The Heaven-Locking Temple is a Nascent Soul Level Sect, reportedly housing a Nascent Soul level elder, a formidable force Zheng Yi couldn't fathom. If these three had sent a message back, despite the Sea of Tyranny's barrier, the Heaven-Locking Temple would likely dispatch people to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm.

At that point, Zheng Yi would be left with no choice but to flee like a homeless dog; staying with the Daluo Alliance wouldn't be viable, and he was determined to avoid that.

Thankfully, greed affects everyone, even cultivators.

Moreover, as remnants of the former Nascent Soul's legacy, the Secret Immortal Sect's relics are invaluable. Better for individual enjoyment than sharing them.

Furthermore, delving into the dark-skinned Half-step Purple Mansion cultivator's Divine Soul, Zheng Yi uncovered self-serving motives. The Secret Immortal Cave Mansion clues originated from him, but he never disclosed the hidden truths.

On this venture, he intended to use his two junior brothers as pioneers. Even if they emerged from the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion, he would eliminate them to avert future troubles.
