As a living human, Liuyun was undoubtedly extremely special within the Yellow Springs Realm.
The fluctuations of blood and vitality emanating from him held a fatal allure for Yomi creatures. In their eyes, Liuyun was no less than a walking delicacy packed with nourishment. Every Yomi creature wanted to devour him, so slaughter followed him almost everywhere he went.
Much of the time, this was an act of self-preservation. But over the years, he had gradually moved beyond killing merely to protect himself and had begun deliberately hunting Yomi creatures!
At that moment, Liuyun wielded the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi and wiped out every evil creature in a forest of white bones. All these creatures had been slain by the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, and the Yellow Springs Dharma Seal once upon its blade had already been replaced by Liuyun with the Yellow Springs Black Lotus Seal.
In the past, when Liuyun killed enemies with the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, their souls and power would be devoured by the Yellow Springs Dharma Seal, benefiting that bitch Izanami.
Now that he possessed his own mark and had even split off subordinate brands, the enemies he killed would ultimately become nourishment for him. All the black qi produced by those evil creatures after death flowed into the Black Lotus Mark, eventually becoming Liuyun's own power.
