Squeezing Bones and Sucking Marrow! Skull Incantation!

Upon opening the wooden box, a fist-sized object, seemingly carved from blood jade, appeared, revealing a skull with countless veins seemingly spreading out from its interior.

The feeling of palpitations in my heart suddenly intensified.

With a smirk, Qi Yun grabbed the blood jade skull and refined it in an instant.

[Law Technique update complete. This is a minor update; Law Technique adjustments are as follows.]

[Skull Incantation 5.0: Added Essence Devouring effect; upon killing a target, a portion of their blood essence can be absorbed and converted into cultivation points.]

Um?!

His pupils dilated in shock. He scanned the text on the Law Technique Panel several more times in disbelief, Qi Yun a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

Kill the target, absorb their blood essence... and convert it into cultivation!

Quickly gathering his thoughts, Qi Yun's eyes flickered, and he immediately transformed into Fresh Breeze, heading straight for the battlefield where the Holy Sect and the Zombie Alliance were fighting.

Transforming into Fresh Breeze, Qi Yun charged into the fiercest battle zone between the Holy Sect disciples and the Zombie Alliance cultivators in just a few leaps.

Shouts of battle, the crackling of Law Technique, and the howls of zombies filled the air.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and corpses.

It makes your nose feel sticky.

He turned his gaze and quickly locked onto a Zombie Alliance cultivator not far away who was directing several zombies to attack a Holy Sect disciple.

The monk was dressed in a black robe, with a sinister face. He shook the Corpse Control bell in his hand rapidly, and a cruel and maniacal smile appeared on his face.

"Laughing so happily? Then it's you!" Raising an eyebrow, Qi Yun his right hand, fingers forming a sword shape, and more than a dozen Method Formula bloomed at his fingertips, as a surge of powerful Law Power erupted from his body.

With a resounding "hum," the jet-black, refined steel sand surrounding him instantly boiled and coalesced and shaped at an astonishing speed!

In the blink of an eye, an enormous, five-fingered, muscle-textured iron hand appeared out of thin air!

As soon as the giant hand took shape, it swept down with a piercing whistle that tore through the air, and with the force of Mount Tai pressing down, it grabbed at the head of the Zombie Alliance cultivator.

The speed and angle were so extreme that they completely exceeded the reaction limit of the Zombie Alliance cultivator.

The sinister smile on the face of the Zombie Alliance cultivator froze instantly, turning into extreme terror.

He let out a strange cry and instinctively tried to urge the zombies beside him to defend themselves, while simultaneously trying to retreat rapidly.

But it was clearly too late.

The speed of the giant iron sand hand far exceeded his expectations; its five fingers suddenly closed like a cage!

"Snap!"

The sickening sound of bones cracking rang out clearly.

The giant hand precisely and accurately grasped the zombie cultivator from the Zombie Alliance, along with a zombie he had hastily summoned to block his way, and held them tightly in its palm.

The next second, the five fingers suddenly exerted force, terrifyingly powerful, and the cultivator's protective Law Technique was easily crushed like paper.

His entire body was squeezed so tightly that his face was contorted, his eyes bulged, and he spat out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, making a suffocating "gag" sound.

The unfortunate zombie was even more severely injured, its bones snapping and black blood splattering everywhere.

However, this was just the beginning.

Qi Yun narrowed his eyes, his left hand already forming another Divergent Method seal, while he chanted an obscure incantation.

"Gaga gaga--!"

A chilling laugh suddenly rang out, like the hooting of an owl or the snarling of a demon.

A white bone skull that had been hanging at his waist suddenly flew up automatically, two balls of pale green soul fire burning in its eye sockets, its mouth opening and closing, emitting that eerie laugh, and it turned into a beam of white light that shot towards the Zombie Alliance cultivator who was being held by the sand iron hand.

The Zombie Alliance cultivator was already in extreme pain and suffocation. When he saw the flying skull that exuded a strong aura of death and Evil Qi, his eyes were immediately filled with boundless fear.

He tried to struggle, tried to beg for mercy.

But the power of the giant iron sand hand rendered him unable to move even a finger, and he could only watch helplessly as the skull flew in front of him, its empty eye sockets "staring" at him.

The next second.

An invisible yet incredibly powerful suction force suddenly surged from the seven orifices of the white skeleton!

"Ughhhhh--!"

The Zombie Alliance cultivator let out a final, piercing, and utterly desperate scream.

But the screams soon stopped abruptly.

One after another, crystal-clear streams of air, shimmering with a faint light, were forcibly drawn out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose by that suction force!

The scene was incredibly eerie, as if his soul and all his life's cultivation were being pulled out of his body like silk threads being peeled away from a cocoon.

They all disappeared into the orifices of the white bone skeleton.

The skull opened and closed its jaws with satisfaction, making a soft "click" sound, and the green fire in its eye sockets seemed to intensify slightly.

At the same time, Qi Yun's body trembled slightly.

He clearly sensed a trace of extremely pure, gentle, and mellow cultivation essence flowing the Unseen into his Dantian through a mysterious connection with the white bone skull.

This external cultivation power merged perfectly with his own cultivated True Qi, blending seamlessly without any rejection.

It was as if he had attained this through arduous cultivation.

The True Qi consumed by using the Sand Iron Hand and activating the skull was instantly replenished.

He could even feel his cultivation level subtly and solidly advancing a little!

It really worked!

My cultivation has indeed improved somewhat.

Although very minor, it is genuine.

Qi Yun slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

The Zombie Alliance cultivator, whose cultivation and life force had been drained, had long since turned into a withered and shriveled corpse in the hands of the Sand Iron Giant.

With a thought from Qi Yun, the giant iron sand released its grip, and the wreckage fell helplessly to the ground, shattering into countless fragments.

"Oh, you've really put me through so much trouble!"

Reaching out and pointing at the floating white skeleton in front of him, Qi Yun sighed helplessly and shook his head slightly.

He looked up again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Without holding back, Qi Yun suddenly swung his sleeves, and the refined steel sand around him exploded like an enraged swarm of black bees.

In an instant, they transformed into dozens of dark, sharp iron chains and spikes, which shot indiscriminately towards the surrounding Zombie Alliance cultivators!

A Zombie Alliance cultivator was horrified and summoned a bone shield to try to defend himself, but a sharp iron spike that suddenly emerged from the ground pierced his jaw from below, and his scream was cut short.

Before he could even breathe his last, a white bone skull flew over with a grotesque laugh, its seven orifices swirling again, forcibly drawing blood!

The cultivator visibly withered away.

All the blood essence and cultivation he had painstakingly accumulated transformed into shimmering Flowing Light and entered the skull's mouth.

Sensing the increase in his cultivation once again, a faint red light flickered deep within Qi Yun's eyes.

This Zombie Alliance cultivator's cultivation level is higher than the previous one, and it seems that he absorbed and converted more into cultivation power.

With a slight shift in their eyes, Qi Yun took a step forward, and their figures suddenly exploded into countless streams of air.

They specifically targeted Zombie Alliance cultivators with decent cultivation levels.

Iron sand controls the physical aspects of capture and killing, while skeletons are responsible for plundering the source of energy.

The two work together seamlessly, with an outrageously high efficiency.
