9.0! Explode!
Using the [Gather Form and Disperse Qi] technique to fully repair his physical body, before the six people opposite him could recover, Qi Yun suddenly raised his hand and unleashed a Southern Brightness Devil Fire Sword Qi, shattering the three bronze mirrors.
With a snap!
The bronze mirror shattered, scattering fragments everywhere.
Without the [Three Yin Manifestation True Method], Qi Yun suddenly surged forward, bypassing the six Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivators in front of him, and rushed straight at the disciples of the three sects who were watching the battle from the sidelines.
Caught off guard, several disciples from the three sects were Qi Yun, who then drained their marrow and essence.
Several pieces of dry, cracked human skin fell to the ground in the wind.
"Mean!"
Seeing that Qi Yun had actually spared them and attacked the ordinary disciples, the six true cultivators from the three sects roared and cursed in anger.
"If you've got the guts, fight us! What kind of skill is it to bully the weak? Have you no shame?"
Upon hearing this, the six true cultivators from the three sects paused in shock.
Asking a disciple of the Holy Sect if they have no shame is like asking a dog if it will eat excrement.
"If you're not satisfied, you can also target my Holy Sect disciples," Qi Yun's ethereal voice echoed from all directions.
This caused the faces of the Holy Sect disciples, who had just felt like their saviors had arrived, to turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
Damn it.
Ignoring the incessant stream of curses, Qi Yun, relying on the superior stealth and high mobility of [Gather Form and Disperse Qi], frantically reaped the lives of the disciples of the three sects.
With eighty-one skeletons combined with the Sunken Abyss Iron Sand, these ordinary disciples from the three sects were no match for them, and didn't even have a chance to fight back.
They were forcibly taken away and transformed into resources for Qi Yun's cultivation.
At the same time, the resources in the Storage Bag of these disciples from the three sects naturally entered Qi Yun's pocket.
One by one, the crystal bottles containing the [Yellow Springs Sacred Water] turned into dust and vanished.
The automatic update progress on the Law Technique Panel is increasing rapidly.
As the three dim yellow crystal bottles in his hand turned to ashes, the progress of the [Skull Incantation] was once again completed.
[Automatic Law Technique updates complete. This is a minor version update; Law Technique effects have been adjusted as follows.]
[Skull Incantation 9.0: Added Corpse Explosion effect.]
A wisp of dark green fire flickered in his pupils. Qi Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, already having a general understanding of this version update.
This update is rather brutal.
Despite his thoughts of cruelty, a hint of eager anticipation flickered in Qi Yun's eyes.
He lightly made Method Formula seal and casually pointed a finger.
The poisonous fire on the skeleton suddenly intensified, and it let out a chilling, cacophony laugh. In an instant, it transformed into a swift, dark green afterimage and pounced on a True Cultivator of the Three Sects.
Burst!
A deafening roar swept across the area.
A dark green mushroom cloud of poisonous fire rose from the terrifying explosion's epicenter, the rampant Corpse Poison Yin Fire carrying extremely high temperature and pressure, turning an area within a radius of several meters into a vacuum.
Layer upon layer of shockwaves spread outwards like a tsunami.
The cultivator from the three sects at the center of the explosion was covered in wounds, with not a single patch of unscathed skin visible. The extremely toxic Corpse Poison Yin Fire had seeped into every inch of his flesh, making him look like a standing lump of minced meat.
"What kind of Evil Method is this?" With only two empty eye sockets left, staring blankly ahead, this true cultivator of the three sects uttered his last words in a hoarse voice before his physical body collapsed into a pile of minced meat.
"It's even better than I expected."
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. Qi Yun formed several Method Formula, and his inner True Qi surged like a tide, flowing into the eighty white skeletons.
"Gagaga--!"
Hehehe!
Eighty skulls simultaneously emitted sharp, distorted, eerie laughter, the combined sound causing the entire twelfth floor to vibrate.
The next moment!
Eighty death meteors, burning with a ghastly green flame, roared and scattered in all directions, accurately striking every surviving disciple of the three sects and the five true cultivators who had been terrified.
The five cultivators' pupils constricted sharply, and all color drained from their faces. They had just witnessed the scene of that cultivator from the Yellow Springs Netherworld being blown to death.
They wanted to escape, they wanted to defend themselves!
But faced with that overwhelming, suicidal onslaught of skulls, everything seemed so slow and futile.
Not one by one!
"Stop it!!"
The piercing scream had just begun.
Then it was completely engulfed by the continuous, terrifying explosions that followed.
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
The entire twelfth floor of [Peach Garden] seemed to be facing its end at this moment.
The deafening explosions were continuous, almost tearing people's eardrums apart.
Clusters of dark green, poisonous mushroom clouds rose into the air one after another, expanding wildly, connecting with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they swallowed everything in sight!
The raging shockwaves were like a real tsunami, colliding, overlapping, and spreading in layers, cracking the ground and turning everything to dust in their wake.
Even the air was ignited and distorted by that terrifying Corpse Poison Yin Fire!
Boundless, malevolent flames swept through every corner.
The ghastly green light became the only color in this world, illuminating countless faces contorted in extreme terror and then reduced to charcoal.
The sounds of wailing, screams, and desperate curses were all drowned out by the continuous roar of the explosions.
Qi Yun stood at the center of the storm, his robes fluttering in the turbulent air currents, surrounded by incredibly sturdy abyssal Sunken Abyss Iron Sand that blocked the shockwaves.
His eyes were calmly fixed on the infernal scene he had created with his own hands.
The hint of eager anticipation at the corner of his mouth finally transformed into a satisfied, chilling smile.
Art is an explosion!
After the explosion, all the destroyed skeletons began to rapidly reassemble and recover around Qi Yun.
Only ten minutes had passed.
The eighty-one skeletons that had been lost have all been restored and are now hovering around Qi Yun again, their eerie green flames flickering in their eye sockets, looking sinister and terrifying.
Looking at the space before him, now reduced to scorched earth, Qi Yun waved his hand, summoning back the Sunken Abyss Iron Sand that had been protecting the Holy Sect disciples.
This isn't because he's kind-hearted.
Within [Peach Garden], there are still many disciples from the three sects. He needs these fellow disciples as bait to find a way to harvest another wave.
The skeleton was urged to extract the last bit of value from the three sects' cultivators who had already been blown to death or were barely clinging to life.
The continuous flow of True Qi and Innate Divine Rhyme rapidly replenished Qi Yun's previous depletion.
"Although the power of the White Bone Corpse Explosion' is great, it also consumes a massive amount of True Qi."
If I hadn't cultivated Innate True Qi, and instead used the [Essence Devouring] technique to extract the cultivation of so many external sect cultivators to replenish my total True Qi...
"I'm afraid that just one full-power activation will exhaust all my True Qi."
The appearance of [Corpse Explosion] successfully made up for Qi Yun's lack of high-power Law Technique that could deliver a decisive blow.
The only drawback is that it consumes a huge amount of True Qi.
Without a sufficient number of cultivators to replenish True Qi, even at full strength, it can only be used a maximum of two times.
After wiping out the cultivators from the three sects, Qi Yun lowered his eyes and glanced at the [Cinnabar Cicada Womb Treasury]. Two-thirds of the cicada's body, which was originally as red as blood, had turned bright yellow.
One-third still needed--
With a slight brow raised, Qi Yun carefully put away the divine artifact capable of altering aptitude, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and took away all the Storage Bag from the bodies of the three deceased cultivators.
Watching Qi Yun humming a tune as he picked up all the Storage Bag, the Holy Sect disciples who had just been moved by Qi Yun's intervention to protect them suddenly had complicated expressions.
That's why they're considered the best. Putting aside their cultivation, even their thrifty nature is something we should all learn from.
Soon, Qi Yun collected all the Storage Bag of the cultivators from the three sects.
After confirming several times that nothing had been missed, Qi Yun transformed into pure energy and departed.
Time is of the essence, and the paths the three sects have taken to infiltrate [Peach Garden] are constantly expanding, meaning the strength of the disciples who have entered [Peach Garden] will continue to rise.
He must complete the [Cinnabar Cicada Womb Treasury] and alter his aptitude before those disciples from the three sects at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, seventh, or even eighth level of Qi Refining arrive, so as to secure for himself that sliver of opportunity to transcend all others in the Foundation Establishment stage!
At the same time, on the first floor of [Peach Garden].
An irregular, tattered crack in the cosmic wall was forcibly opened by countless black wisps of energy, and powerful figures with dense Yin Qi, pale skin, and expressionless faces stepped into this secret realm.
The moment these figures stepped into this secret realm, layers of invisible fluctuations swept rapidly across the surroundings, like the most sophisticated radar beams.
Divine Sense!
An ability that can only be mastered at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
"Is this... [Peach Garden]?" His dull, gray eyes slowly scanned the area before him. Fan Wushe slowly spread out his palms, and it was as if black holes suddenly opened within his body, unleashing an incomparably powerful suction force that drew out the essence of this world.
Hundred Apertures Spirit Connection!
Qi Refining Eighth Layer!
