Death of Cui Yan

Instead of dissipating, the Blood Sea suddenly began to shrink, transforming in an instant into a blood mountain tens of feet high.

The mountain of blood crashed down on Cui Yan like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Before the mountain of blood even arrived, a suffocatingly pungent stench of blood assaulted Cui Yan's face.

Cui Yan's expression hardened, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Extreme Yin was actually able to withstand his attack.

Although he didn't use his full strength, for a Golden Core cultivator, being able to withstand an attack from Nascent Soul Cultivator was already enough to make him stand out from the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators.

The Ghost Banner in Cui Yan's hand fluttered, and a dense ghostly aura surged from Ghost Banner.

The ghostly aura, like billowing black smoke, carrying a sinister and terrifying presence, rushed straight towards the rapidly descending mountain of blood.

Ghostly energy clashed with the blood-soaked mountain, creating a cacophony of gore and gloom.

The entire underground magma world trembled violently, and Blood Qi mixed with ghostly energy swept in all directions.

Blood Mountain was clearly no match for the enemy and flew back. At the same time, it rapidly shrank and transformed into a blood-red seal.

Song Wen's figure also came into view, with bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

But Chu Lingyun was nowhere to be seen. His soul had been sealed by Song Wen using the Secret Method of the Corpse Dao, and his body had been stored in his storage ring.

Cui Yan was also shaken by the immense power of the Blood Mountain, his body swaying and his soaring speed greatly reduced. It was this momentary delay that plunged Cui Yan into an abyss of no return.

Cui Yan felt a sudden, inexplicable tightness in his heart, as if something of paramount importance had left him at that moment.

It was his fourth-tier ghost emperor.

Previously, in order to get rid of the Yin Camel Tortoise's entanglement and escape the lava as soon as possible, he left the Ghost King behind to hold off the Yin Camel Tortoise and buy time for his escape.

Just now, the Ghost King's soul was scattered.

Suddenly, a strong, pungent stench wafted up from below him.

It's Yin Camel Tortoise.

Its massive body burst through the magma, opened its blood-red maw, leaped high, and bit at Cui Yan.

Cui Yan was shocked and quickly dodged, trying to avoid the gaping maw of the Yin Camel Tortoise.

However, a powerful suction force emanated from the giant tortoise's gaping maw.

Cui Yan hurriedly activated the Ghost Banner again, and a massive amount of ghost energy surged out.

However, these ghostly energies had barely emerged and had not yet displayed any power when they were swallowed up by the giant tortoise like a whale drinking from a stream.

Cui Yan ultimately couldn't escape the giant tortoise's gaping maw, and his legs were bitten by it.

Both legs were severed at the root, and blood flowed freely.

Cui Yan did not give up easily. He activated his magic Law Power and tried to escape when the giant tortoise closed its mouth.

Three transparent, sharp blades suddenly appeared and pierced Cui Yan's head.

Cui Yan's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. However, in that short moment, the giant tortoise opened its mouth again.

Seeing that he was about to be devoured by the turtle, a ruthless glint flashed in Cui Yan's eyes, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared in his abdomen, in the Dantian area.

A tiny figure, barely an inch tall, suddenly flew out of the blood hole.

The little man looks almost exactly like Cui Yan; he's practically a miniature version of Cui Yan.

This is Cui Yan's Nascent Soul, formed from pure Law Power.

The Nascent Soul was surrounded by a thick layer of black energy, which was due to Cui Yan's cultivation of Ghost Dao Cultivation Method, resulting in his Law Power containing ghostly energy.

Without the protection of the Dantian, the Law Power within the Nascent Soul is rapidly dissipating, transforming into pure Spiritual Qi and returning to the world.

The Nascent Soul's speed was incredibly fast, more than twice as fast as Cui Yan's own speed.

It broke free from the giant tortoise's suction and sped towards the exit of the lava cave's dome, the Vertical Tunnel it had drilled itself.

As soon as the Nascent Soul entered the Vertical Tunnel, a bolt of lightning, faintly glowing purple, streaked down from Vertical Tunnel.

The power contained in the lightning was roughly equivalent to the full-force attack of a Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator at the peak.

If Cui Yan were at his peak, he would naturally have no fear of this lightning.

But at this moment, with only the Nascent Soul stage, he had no choice but to avoid their sharp edge.

However, the Vertical Tunnel was narrow, no more than three feet wide, leaving nowhere to hide.

Helpless, Cui Yan could only exit the Vertical Tunnel and return to the lava cave to avoid the lightning.

As the lightning struck, Cui Yan's Nascent Soul re-entered the Vertical Tunnel.

However, above the Vertical Tunnel, a ball of lightning remained dormant, seemingly waiting for Cui Yan to walk right into its trap.

Cui Yan was anxious. The Nascent Soul's Law Power was rapidly dissipating, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

He knew he had no way out.

Continuing to wait will only lead to certain death; only by taking the initiative will there be a glimmer of hope.

The Nascent Soul soared into the sky.

Thunder suddenly struck.

"Boom!"

Lightning exploded in the narrow Vertical Tunnel, illuminating the Vertical Tunnel, which stretched for tens of miles.

Braving the lightning, Cui Yan charged upwards with all his might.

The tiny figure of the Nascent Soul appeared and disappeared amidst the lightning.

In order to resist the lightning invading his Nascent Soul, Cui Yan had no choice but to exert all his magical Law Power, which caused the Nascent Soul's Law Power to be rapidly depleted.

Cui Yan finally made it through the minefield, only to find himself facing not a smooth path, but a bottomless wall of blood.

The Blood Sea Seal transformed into a long, blood-red pillar, blocking the Vertical Tunnel.

"Extreme Yin! Do you really intend to exterminate them all?" Cui Yan shouted sharply, his voice tinged with despair.

Song Wen did not respond.

Although there was indeed a misunderstanding between the two sides, once they chose to take action, there was no reason for them to stop.

Several tentacles grew from the pillar of blood, continuously extending and coiling towards Cui Yan's Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul made a hand Method Formula, and several streams of ghostly energy shot out, extremely sharp like razor-sharp blades.

Ghostly blades danced, severing the outstretched crimson tentacles one after another, turning them into crimson mist that returned to the pillar of blood. The pillar of blood then spawned new tentacles, an endless stream.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Cui Yan could not escape, and the blood-red tentacles could not get close to him.

Suddenly, the lower end of the blood column split open, and three transparent blades shot out.

The Nascent Soul was terrified, but there was nothing it could do but watch helplessly as the sharp blade pierced its body.

The Soul-Concentrating Spike failed to severely damage Cui Yan's soul in one strike, but it did cause his Nascent Soul to fall into a brief daze.

This significantly weakens its control over ghostly energy.

The crimson tentacles seized the opportunity to get close.

The tips of these tentacles, like sharp steel needles, instantly pierced into the Nascent Soul's body.

The Law Power on the Nascent Soul instantly dissipated.

Cui Yan's soul was revealed.

Along with it, a storage ring also appeared.

When Cui Yan's Nascent Soul escaped, he didn't forget to take his storage ring with him, which benefited Song Wen.

A powerful suction force emanated from the tentacles, so strong that Cui Yan's soul was completely unable to resist.

Cui Yan's soul was instantly pulled into the tentacles, and then followed the tentacles upwards, directly arriving at Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Extreme Yin! You dare pull me into your Sea of Consciousness? You're courting death! Hahaha..."

Cui Yan's frantic voice echoed in Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Noisy!" Song Wen snorted coldly.

His Divine Sense was weaker than Cui Yan's, so he was unable to perform a soul search on him.

Therefore, Song Wen was too lazy to waste words with Cui Yan, and the Sea of Consciousness Black Hole suddenly appeared.

A devouring force surged from the Black Hole, so powerful that Cui Yan couldn't even muster the will to resist.

"What is this... Extreme Yin... Spare my life..."

Cui Yan's soul was swallowed by the Black Hole.

Song Wen put away the Blood Sea Seal and Cui Yan's storage ring, and glanced at the magma below.

Having lost its target, the Yin Camel Tortoise have retreated deep into the lava.

The lava lake has returned to calm once again.
