Chapter 434: Chapter 431: Muddying the Waters, Taking All Five Banners

The crimson Dharma Light, with the "Dragon Transformation Hall" at its center, spread out along the prearranged formation veins.

It was as if the entire Cangmu Mountain and its Mountain Temple were infused with flowing blood.

Hiss hiss hiss...

In every inch of space surrounding the Ghost Dao Alliance Army, it seemed as though thousands of giant snakes were awakening from hibernation, continuously writhing and emitting piercing hisses.

As the ground shook and the mountain trembled beneath their feet, the tall Cangmu Mountain came to life in a single breath.

It swung its head and tail, transforming into a colossal snake that blotted out the sky, terrifying in the extreme.

This giant snake had eight heads, each the size of a mountain peak, and eight tails resembling valleys, with its head resembling a dragon, adorned with disorderly horns.

Its eyes were as red as garish chili paste, and its back was covered with moss, trees, and palaces that served as nodes for the formation.

Its underbelly, rotted and oozing fresh blood, was topped by clouds of noxious, crimson vapor.

——By using the Taoist Inheritance Artifact "Hundred-Patched Coat," the Ghost Dao Alliance Army deployed the Green Seal Level "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth: Calamity Beast Hiding."

Ability: It can bestow vitality upon the earth, mountains, rivers, and air within its range of influence, transforming them into parts of its body.

And take on the form of various ferocious gods and calamity beasts.

The Taoist Heavenly Prison had transplanted organs from ninety-nine powerful demons.

With his deeply profound "Blood Immortal Parasite Technique," standing above all other disciples, he could also freely manifest their traits, creating countless potent combinations.

At this moment, the eight massive serpent heads with their bloodshot eyes spoke in unison:

"Hiss hiss hiss, friends of the Ghost Dao, this poor Taoist has been waiting for you for a long time.

Surrender your ’True Spirit’ to become part of me, and the future of the entire cultivation world will be completely rewritten by us, your merit will be immeasurable!"

"Please... fellow Taoists, embrace death!

Fellow Taoists, embrace death!

Embrace death!

Death!"

The terrifying sound waves howled in, echoing between heaven and earth, stripping off a layer of the ground where the alliance army stood.

"Hmph! Your Demon Master Dao dares to consume ’True Spirit’ as nourishment, incurring sins against heaven!

Carrying ’Corpse Dissection Relics’ is like a child holding gold, incurring sins against mankind!

Today marks the day the Demon Mages are struck from the register, and no one can save you!"

Master Thousand Phases of "Netherworld Square" took a fierce swing behind him.

Except for the main forces of the "Nine Phases Corpse God Dao" and Wang Yuan from the Five Organs Temple, who remained stationary,

The combat power of the other Ghost Dao Magic Veins had already become unusable, retreating from the main battlefield.

War, in essence, is not much different from a game of chess, with probing and exchanges of pieces in the early stage to maintain the combat power of the Central Army.

Only at the critical moment can one strike decisively, dealing a fatal blow to the opponent.

Facing the Taoist Heavenly Prison, who indeed had the strength of a Green Seal, as said in the "Wild Fox Zen," through the "Hundred-Patched Coat," Master Thousand Phases showed no fear.

Although in every sect, if a disciple perishes, a "Divine Power Talisman" would gather ’knowledge’ and proceed to the exterior of the Heavenly Gate, falling into the hands of the Taoist Lineage.

Basically, no "Deceit Objects" would emerge, and naturally, there would be no fertile ground for the birth of "Taoist Inheritance Artifacts."

But a single "Heavenly Official" could make up for everything.

"Please, Fangzhang Corpse King, bring your mana to the altar!"

He drew out from his bosom a pallid jade talisman faintly carved with the image of a prostrate corpse and bowed deeply towards the northern horizon.

Although the opponent’s face lacked any features, Wang Yuan distinctly captured a trace of anguish on it.

Similar to the Three Yang Sect’s "Three Yang Small Realm," the Nine Phases Corpse God Dao also had its own trump card — "Heavenly Official Descent Talisman."

At the founding of the sect, six jade talismans were personally carved by the Taoist Master with the highest ability and offered before the divine altar of the Mountain Temple.

They were worshiped day and night, consecrated along with the "Heavenly Official" statue and imbued with the seeping mana from the official.

This unceasing process stretched over hundreds or even thousands of years.

The longer the consecration, the better the effect they produced.

To create a top-grade talisman that even touched the Green Seal Realm required at least sixty years; using one meant it had to be immediately replaced.

Without substantial benefits, no Taoist Master would waste such a treasure that cannot be quickly replaced.

Back then,

Even the "Beimang Mountain Blessed Land" that benefited only the Tao Lineage of Junzhou was not adequate; only relics like the "Corpse Dissection Relics," which were of great use to the Fangzhang Corpse King, could warrant the deployment of a talisman.

Master Thousand Phases tossed it into the air; the jade talisman transformed at the crown of his head into a ghastly white sun.

He leapt into the air, followed by eleven other Mages from three different lineages, plunging into the sun.

"Fangzhang Corpse King, descend and rule over the one hundred and six. Seek the old eyes and the green teeth, the pale tongue. As the body lies distraught with the wind, demons feast and spirits swallow.

Annihilate the schemes of heaven, shatter the brightness of four. Bones burn towards the Dipper, blood flames of the Emperor’s rage!

Haste, haste, by my command! Decree!"

The ghostly white sun suddenly turned blue, then blazed with a fierce ghost fire.

The "Twelve Bone Arhats Skill," "Blood River Refining Form Technique," and "Faceless Ghost King Technique" merged into one.

Amidst the blazing Dharma Light, huge transparent bones were forged within the ghost fire, taking shape.

A red, tainted stream of blood swiftly spread over them, forming semi-transparent muscles, fascia, and skin.

Finally, a terrifying armor made of tens of thousands of ghastly ghost faces covered his body, and in his hand he wielded a large axe with serrated edges.

From beneath the ground, skeletal corpses with ghost fire burning in their eye sockets continuously drilled out of the soil, the ultimate remnants left by various beings of this land over a thousand years.

They were reawakened as a cataclysm!

Last time, when the two sects at Beimang Mountain clashed, it was led by the "Skull Temple," and the Corpse King manifested the "Chaotic Phase" among the nine death phases.

This time, the phase that manifested was the last of the nine death phases, also known as the "Ancient Tomb Phase" or the "Ash Phase."

All turned to dust, returned to earth, leaving behind only the names carved upon graves and a strand of wandering lonely spirits in the world.

Boom!

Under the command of Thousand Phases Master, a ring of Dharma Light exploded on the "Ancient Tomb Corpse King’s" body, and it charged ahead in the lead.

Behind it, Wang Yuan sensed Old Black’s location; the defense level of the mountain protection array was too high, and it was clear that he hadn’t succeeded yet.

"Is the data hidden there? In the midst of battle, there is no such thing as a rear.

I must buy some time for Old Black."

The "Ghost Medicine" and "Corpse Dissection Relics" that others fought desperately for were nothing more to him than icing on the cake.

Whereas those human experimental data that others disregarded entirely.

Once in the hands of "Nine Soldiers" and "Emperor Bao Sheng," they could become priceless treasures capable of creating a "Corpse Dissection Immortal" in a short time!

Everyone on the battlefield could die, but these treasures must absolutely not be lost.

He immediately sent a signal to the body of Sage Wu, who had already arrived outside the array, and his gaze suddenly turned fierce.

"No more disguises!"

As the four "fellow disciples" turned their heads in confusion, Wang Yuan finally mobilized the true power of the "Abyssal Ghost King Banner" that had been cleansed by the "Earthly Que Golden Book" for the first time.

"My body is extraordinary, the true form of the Northern Emperor. Head like black clouds, hair like scattered soldiers. Reaching up to the Yang Realm, spanning the Netherworld below.

Eyebrows like centipedes, a mist of venom envelops. Nose like an iron bell, thunder shakes the vast sky. Ears like fire bells, mouth like the Heavenly Gate.

Left cheek with the heads of demons in five directions, right side with majestic gods of the five peaks. Front legs form the Five Thunders Formation, rear legs supervise the Five Thunders....

Those who dare oppose my command shall be bound and eaten. Swift as decree!"

The next instant.

The Eighteen Mud Plow Ghost King unexpectedly reared its head uncontrollably, swallowing the other four who were caught off guard in a single gulp.

With just the "Three Aperture Dharma Body," Wang Yuan could easily consume Master Red Lotus and his fellows.

The "Earthly Que Golden Book," pointing directly to the essence, could even more effortlessly deal with the "Five Organs Temple’s Ghost Breeding Technique."

Of course, Dushuo Mountain was in need of laborers at the moment, and consuming them would be too wasteful, so he temporarily sealed them away to be sent to "Sewing Machine Hell" later.

"Swiftly!"

With a forceful command.

The "Face Burning Ghost King Banner," "Wood Charm Ghost King Flag," "White Tiger Ghost King Flag," and "Stone-Carrying Ghost King Flag" all turned into streaks of light and fiercely rushed into the "Abyssal Ghost King Banner."

On the pitch-black banner surface, the images of five Ghost Kings successively emerged.

A sense of completeness arose innately.

This was the complete "Taoist Inheritance Artifact · Fengdu Iron Enclosure"!

This also meant that Wang Yuan had now packed away the four principals, over a thousand disciples, and the entire "Five Organs Temple" into his pocket.

Immediately.

The banner surface rolled up, transforming into a pitch-black long spear, growing larger in the wind, and landed in the hands of the Eighteen Mud Plow Ghost King.

The ultimate Divine Transformation of blazing divine light instantly poured into its body.

The five heads merged into one, and a solitary horn grew out in the middle of its forehead, and the arms that had been chopped off by "Two-Faced Nuo" restored to completeness.

The originally barren body grew a pitch-black battle armor covering the entire body; with a step forward, an extremely solemn aura of iron blood surged forth.

Although its power level was inferior to the other two monsters, taking on the role of "support" was no problem at all.

A five-colored divine light sprang from beneath its feet, and the Ghost King shot up into the sky.

Amidst the roaring atmosphere, the weighty long spear, with the power of an entire river, fiercely struck a huge snake head that was rushing towards the "Ancient Tomb Corpse King."

Boom——!

With an earthquake-shattering roar.

As the snake head was forcefully deflected, it also created an opportunity for Thousand Phases Master to land an axe blow on the seven inches of another head.

Blood poured out immediately.

In a duel between masters, a hair’s breadth can lead to a miss by a thousand miles.

Facing Wang Yuan, an unexpectedly powerful entrant into the fray, Thousand Phases Master was overjoyed and bowed to him from afar, while the Taoist Heavenly Prison’s face turned pale abruptly.

But neither side noticed.

Old Black, who had tumbled from the snake head that Wang Yuan had countered, looked up just in time to make eye contact with his master, shivering violently.

Rushing without hesitation, he frantically stuffed all sorts of data into the "Talismanic Treasure Bag."

Two birds in the bush are no match for one in the hand.

To harvest opportunistically and secure the main course in one’s possession was the proper course of action.

Turning his head to look at the Corpse King and the great snake locked in a fierce battle, it was clear that today’s harvesting season had only just begun.
