Jade Bone Method, Hall of Myriad Ghosts

Abyss beneath the earth.

After searching, Li Wei finally discovered another divine relic. This relic was located on a sheer cliff at the bottom of a bottomless abyss. Although it had long since fallen into ruin, it could not conceal its former glory.

Inside the towering black walls, hundreds of meters high, stood an even taller hall, constructed of black bricks and stones. It was barely visible in the dimly lit underground, and Li Wei would have missed it entirely if he hadn't received a warning.

"Ruins discovered, the Hall of Myriad Ghosts. Challenge the Demon Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable? Victory will grant you the inheritance of the Demon Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable's divine essence..."

What's the difference between the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable and the Three Yin Six Demons from before?

Li Wei didn't immediately challenge the challenge, but decided to observe first. He flew into the black wall and landed in front of the enormous hall. At this moment, Li Wei realized that although the hall was exceptionally magnificent, it gave off a sinister feeling. Upon closer inspection, he could see countless bas-reliefs carved on the walls of the hall, all depicting various evil spirits. On the eaves of the hall, there were also statues of evil spirits, which were so lifelike that it seemed as if they might suddenly pounce on him if he wasn't careful.

Upon entering the main hall, Li Wei saw a statue.

The statue was over ten people tall, but its style was completely different from the reliefs outside. It was a man dressed in black and red robes, with a handsome face that was both righteous and evil. There was a flame mark between his eyebrows, which added to his murderous aura. In the statue's hand, he held a ghostly magic Nine-Skull Treasure, which was made up of nine skulls stacked together as one, and its texture was as smooth as jade.

"This is the Hall of Myriad Ghosts, and this is the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable? He's truly domineering. Even before it was activated, his aura was no weaker than that of the Three Yin Six Demons. However, he only has one treasure in his hand, so he is merely a Demon Lord, not a Demon God. In that case, I'll choose him..." Li Wei made up his mind, but instead of rashly choosing to challenge him, he carefully retreated.

Summoning the Beast Soul Sword once more, the Blood Demon flew out silently, then bowed and said, "Master, Jade Bone Madam has handed over her cultivation technique. Please take a look!"

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and a jade bone fragment flew out and landed in Li Wei's hand.

"Did she recruit herself, or...?" Li Wei didn't check immediately, but asked curiously.

The Blood Demon chuckled, "This woman is quite clever. After she learned that I possessed the Soul-Seeking Technique, she completely admitted defeat and voluntarily handed over the technique. However, fearing she might try something, I checked it again using the Soul-Seeking Technique. She indeed didn't lie to me. Master, you can rest assured!"

Li Wei nodded, not bothering to ask how Jade Bone Madam was doing. However, anyone who had been examined by the Soul-Seeking Technique would basically lose all their senses.

After retracting the Blood Demon, Li Wei sat cross-legged on the ground and began to examine the jade bone fragment.

The text describes a technique called the "Jade Bone Method Technique," which is said to refine one's bones, making them as clear and translucent as jade, containing boundless power and possessing astonishing defensive capabilities.

"If I master this Jade Bone Method, at least I won't have to worry about being instantly killed by the opponent. Even if I'm no match for them, I can escape using the power of space. This Jade Bone Method is like having insurance for me!" Li Wei thought to himself, and then began to cultivate according to the technique.

In Shadow Street, there are countless cultivation techniques available, ranging from basic internal energy cultivation to various immortal cultivation methods. However, this "Jade Bone Method" is quite miraculous, as it uses blood flames to forge the bones of the entire body.

When Jade Bone Madam was cultivating, she captured 9,999 beautiful young women, drained their blood, and used a special method to ignite blood flames, thus forging her bones into jade-like form. The reason she used other people's blood was that relying solely on her own blood would not have been enough to complete this divine power. However, Li Wei did not intend to use other people's blood. The supreme killing technique he had learned earlier, the 'Blood Control Method,' was not only an offensive skill but also a method for refining blood. Just like Li Wei at this moment, his blood was constantly being tempered by the Blood Control Method, its concentration and quality being a million times stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, simply forcing out a large amount of his own essence blood was enough to ignite the blood flames that refined his entire skeleton.

Soon, following the methods of the Jade Bone Method, a dazzling blood flame rose up and was immediately swallowed by Li Wei, beginning the refining of his entire skeleton.

Even if Li Wei is a Star King level expert, using blood flames to temper his own bones is definitely not a pleasant thing; in fact, it is extremely uncomfortable.

"It really hurts! That Jade Bone Madam was quite a tough character back then, actually enduring such Pain to form that Jade Bone True Body. However, the power of the blood flame she generated with mortal blood is far less than the blood flame I generate with my own essence blood. Therefore, the Pain I suffer is a hundred times greater than hers. But correspondingly, if I complete this Jade Bone Method, the strength of my bones will be a hundred times stronger than hers!" Li Wei's confidence soared, but he forcefully suppressed the unbearable Pain and continued to temper his bones.

For a full day and night, Li Wei was constantly forging his bones, while at that moment, a major event occurred outside.

The Heaven Corpse, one of the four Star Kings of the Godslayer Alliance, was filled with shock on his eternally unchanging face. In the sky opposite him, a man floated, his body composed of beams of light and without any physical form. Even so, the aura he exuded was enough to make him look down on the world. His demonic power was like an overflowing river, surging and turbulent, as if it could destroy the world at any moment.

"Mordor, what are you doing here? Damn it, your magic is even more potent than before!" The Heaven Corpse was shocked. The Godslayer Alliance and Mordor were sworn enemies. All along, the four Star Kings had united to restrain Mordor. In fact, the Godslayer Alliance originally had five Star Kings, but one of them died unexpectedly during the last assassination attempt on Mordor.

The deceased Star King was called Thunder Emperor. He had cultivated the Undying Thunder Body and could summon Thunder God Lightning Talisman to subdue enemies. He possessed the power of four stars. Although he was at the bottom among the Star Kings in the Godslayer Alliance, he was still invincible against ordinary S9-level combatants.

Last time, this Thunder Emperor led two S9-level experts and a Cloud-Eating Silkworm to ambush Mordor, only to be killed instead, demonstrating Mordor's strength. It can be said that even a Star King would face certain death if facing Mordor alone. Only two or even three Star Kings could contend with Mordor together.

As for Heaven Corpse himself, he only possessed the power of five celestial bodies. Although he commanded an army of 100,000 demonic corpses, he might not be a match for Mordor. However, at this point, he had no other choice.

"Hmph, Godslayer Alliance, you've got some nerve. Tell me, how did you get into my mission world? If you tell me, I'll let you die a little more comfortably. Otherwise, I'll imprison your soul and make you Pain forever..." Mordor said ferociously.

In fact, he was indeed very curious, even surprised, about how the other party had entered his mission world. Logically speaking, this mission of the Divine Ruins was already his exclusive right, and no one else should be able to enter.

Unable to figure it out, Mordor stopped thinking about it. Rather than guessing, he decided to ask the Heaven Corpse in front of him.

Mordor only knew a little about the Star King level members of the Godslayer Alliance. He only knew that this Heaven Corpse seemed to cultivate an extremely vicious technique that could refine his body into a powerful corpse puppet. Once he reached a certain level, he would be immune to water and fire. But even so, he was definitely no match for him.

The Heaven Corpse was well aware of Mordor's power. After a moment's thought, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of green liquid. This liquid spread rapidly, forming a rain of green everywhere, while the Heaven Corpse himself turned and fled.

The green rain, upon falling to the ground, caused intense corrosion, instantly creating pits and potholes. Many rocks were melted into puddles of foul water, demonstrating the power of this green rain. In fact, this green liquid was the Myriad Poison Corpse Fluid, painstakingly refined by the Heaven Corpse. Ordinary people who came into contact with it were immediately dissolved into rotten flesh, while stronger reincarnators were directly corroded and infected by this Myriad Poison Corpse Fluid. In just a moment, they would become mindless zombie soldiers, from then on only obeying the Heaven Corpse's commands.

Even some S8 or S9 level experts, or even Star King level experts, would not fare well if they were drenched, but this time, the Heaven Corpse was facing Mordor.

"Trying to run? You think you can hold me back with such childish tricks and buy yourself precious time to escape? How naive! Behold my Earthquake Magic!"

Mordor had no physical body; he was composed of magical elements, so he was not afraid of the Myriad Poison Corpse Fluid at all. As he spoke, he silently chanted a series of spells, and a Magic Wand appeared in his hand. He waved it a few times, and a wave quickly entered the ground and spread out rapidly.

After running only a dozen steps, Heaven Corpse felt a fluctuation under his feet. Suddenly, the ground roared and began to collapse and crack, creating a huge crater over ten kilometers long, which was bottomless as far as the eye could see.

The Heaven Corpse was a Star King-level expert, so it could naturally fly. It grew wings on its back and soared into the sky. At that moment, Mordor had already finished casting his next spell.

"(Forbidden) Spell: Freeze the Nine Heavens!"

Before anyone knew it, dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and with Mordor's incantation, a heavy snow began to fall. Upon seeing this, the Heaven Corpse's expression changed drastically, but he also pulled out an ancient scroll from behind his back, pulled it open abruptly, then bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of foul blood onto the scroll.

"One hundred thousand demonic corpses, come out!" As soon as the voice fell, countless ugly-looking demonic corpses burst out of the scroll, and soon filled the sky.

How many are there in a hundred thousand? At this moment, all that can be seen are ugly-looking demonic corpses with wings on their backs, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye can see. What is even more terrifying is that these demonic corpses actually have combat power of S5 level or above.
