Chapter 452: Chapter 449: Massive Development, The Extinction Plan

Boom, boom, boom...

Daoist skills thundered and fist power surged, causing the earth to quake and mountains to tremble in the eighteen layers of Hell. Tattered torture instruments were strewn all over the place.

Even the landscapes of Dharma domains and the Nine Serenities intertwined continuously, seemingly overburdened by the counteracting forces of the grand battle.

The once formidable Luo Qiantuo, who originally had nine heads with a thousand eyes and mouths each, 990 arms, and eight legs, and was only lacking ten arms to match the Asura King, was already in full retreat.

He had countless limbs severed, countless eyes blinded, and his entire body turned into a blood gourd.

It was only by relying on the "Innate Divine Ability: Asura War Ghost" that he turned his shattered limbs and flesh into a dense mist of blood, which strengthened his own body.

His attacks became increasingly frenzied and fierce.

From his thousands of gaping mouths roared continuous cries, as he ferociously brandished a blood-red battle axe, attempting to take the "Yama’s Avatar" down with him before his own death.

"Deceit Object: Blood Dripping"

Ability: Whether it is a flesh and blood body or any other form of existence, once cut, they will bleed incessantly, and there is no medicine in the world that can cure it.

The combination of the two should be unstoppable once unleashed, with combat power that rivals the peak "Military Leaders" who command the "Daoist Soldiers" in the short term.

This was the greatest reliance that led to Luo Qiantuo’s growth up to this point.

However, when he saw the "Yaksha," who had bowed and died three times before the "Yama’s Avatar" but then stood up again, seemingly filled with a deep hatred and furiously lunging at himself, he felt a wave of cold fear at the thought of becoming like his opponent after death.

Moreover, the "Yaksha," who likewise knew the effects of "Blood Dripping," desperately blocked all the axe strikes he had dealt, with no step taken back even if limbs and arms were cut off, leaving only half a torso.

Fortunately, after finally killing him, he did not resurrect again like the first time, which proved that even the powers of the "Cycle Heaven Star Realm" have their limits.

Unfortunately, in the aftermath of Luo Qiantuo’s reliance on the ruthless power of the deceit object to slay the "Yaksha," he also left himself wide open.

His end finally came.

He was seized by the "Yama’s Avatar" and the "Eighteen Mudplow Ghost Kings" who had manifested their Dharma bodies, each grabbing half of his body and violently tearing him in two.

Under the illumination of a starlight, he was reborn.

Submissively, he "thumped" to the ground, kneeling before Wang Yuan.

Although he was missing some arms, eyes, and mouths, he narrowly retained the strength of a "Great Success Military Leader" due to his realm being very close to that of a "Martial Saint."

Once joined by a camp of "Daoist Soldiers" from the Asura Path, he would again be a formidable force under the "Yellow Seal Realm."

The second layer of the "Ten Thousand Feet of Dust."

"Go!"

Ganga, breathing heavily, raised her arm and the several golden rings on it turned into streaks of light and suddenly flew up, looping onto Wang Yuan’s neck and limbs.

"Deceit Object: Brahma and I Golden Ring"

It forces the person it locks to enter the state of Yoga practice, losing the ability to resist while the owner of the rings can manipulate them into eighteen different yoga poses.

Initially intended to help others reach the state of "Brahma and I are One" in their cultivation, it also serves as an excellent restraint.

Like "Blood Dripping," it was another measure designed to assassinate Wang Yuan.

"Close!"

With another forceful grasp by the Asura, the five golden rings were about to intertwine and contort Wang Yuan into a twisted shape in the process.

Bang!

With a low blast, only the scraps of the "Ghost Replacement" paperman were left on the ground.

Ganga, with a pale face, lost her last opportunity.

She was taken from behind by Wang Yuan, who had emerged and plucked out her still violently beating heart.

Immediately after, two more streaks of light crashed down to the ground next to Wang Yuan’s feet.

They were the two human clan Mages who had turned from darkness to light after being slain by the "Incarnation of Taibai."

With that, the entire assassination team was wiped out.

Including the Mage who was initially killed by the Thunder Skill, they all knelt down and proclaimed, "Taoist Master!"

Although they had all fallen from the realm of "Divine Transformation" to that of "Earth Essence,"

they instantly became some of the strongest forces under Wang Yuan’s command.

"The three Mages were originally practicing various mutations of the ’Earth Department Dao Skill: Black and White Impermanence Skill,’ thus making it easy to shift their cultivation.

I, Wang Xiaoyuan, a reserve ’Yin Heaven Son,’ am indeed the most cherished son of the Heavenly Dao Master.

These Yin Mountain Dharma Lineage compatible skills, which have been quietly developed for thousands of years in the Yin Mountain Ghost Country, are tailor-made for me!"

"The ’Heavenly Department Dao Skill: Earthly Que Golden Book’ encompasses everything, covering all the Daoist Skills of this underworld:

’Taiyin Moonlight Technique,’ ’Six Dao Reincarnations,’ ’Divine and Ghost Mysterious Altar Technique,’ ’Five Senses Tribulation Method,’ ’San Tu Yin Official Skill,’ ’Three Vultures Power Technique,’ ’Condemning Hundred Ghosts Skill’...

There are dozens of skills that can allow one to cultivate to the realm of ’Green Seal Sage,’ and hundreds that can allow one to cultivate to the realm of ’Yellow Seal Mage’ within the ’Mystical Department.’

These together form the strict and vast ’Earth Que Yin Official’ system."

Even over these years, as figures in the Underworld tirelessly innovate, they still cannot sever themselves from the root of "Yin Mountain Dharma Lineage."

This relation is one of containment and being contained.

In the future, all the Ghost Path practitioners captured by Wang Yuan will have no problem switching their Daoist Skill paths to the orthodox "Yin Official System."

This is far stronger than cultivating ordinary Yin Officials from zero foundation.

It would save Wang Yuan countless efforts and precious time.

"Raise the banner!"

With a fierce wave of the pitch-black War Banner seated by five Ghost Kings, he enveloped three "Earth Essence" Mages and two Asura, a man and a woman, within it.

Images of peculiar and murderous ghosts and monsters also appeared on the flag’s surface.

And there were faint signs of a transition from the "Fengdu Iron Enclosure" to the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

As more Ghosts of Yin Mountain and related Daoist Skills are collected in the future,

this postnatal treasure might have the hope of becoming the second "Taoist Inheritance Artifact" of the entire Yin Mountain Taoism after the "Small Book of Life and Death"!

Of course, Wang Yuan was also clear that not everything was positive.

After this failed assassination attempt, the conflict between himself, the "Underground Master," and those gathered around him from the Yin Mountain Ghost Country has become utterly irreconcilable.

Although the "Underground Master," as a Demi Immortal whose attempt to return to life failed, can only take refuge in the roots of the Killing Tree, and cannot leave the Ghost Peach Forest eroded by the Killing Tree.

But his intelligence would undoubtedly be further completed by the opponent.

Given the opponent’s modus operandi, the next wave of assassins could very likely mean facing multiple "Green Seal Sages."

But at this moment, Wang Yuan’s dark blue eyes shone brightly, his will to fight surging forth mightily.

"A great wind rises and clouds soar, where can I find brave men to roam in all four directions? Ghosts must always be exterminated, no choice but to do so!

A day without the Wild Ghosts in the Underworld is a good day!

There’s no question of whether to eradicate them but rather when and how to do so.

Only the Wild Ghosts that are dead or those who have renounced darkness for light are good ghosts!

The other side of Yin Mountain has always been established territory of the Heavenly Dao, Fengdu City, and Old Master Wang.

Although the Underworld is vast, not an inch is superfluous.

The so-called ’non-interference between well water and river water’ is nothing more than the wishful thinking of the Yin Mountain Ghost Country, coupled with the past incompetence of Fengdu City’s aggression.

With my arrival, things will be different."

Wang Yuan casually summoned the "Small Book of Life and Death."

Through this "Lifebound Magic Treasure," he connected Yin and Yang and tapped into the "Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net" that covered the entire Red County Shenzhou.

He spent ten thousand merits to issue a "Cloud-Piercing Arrow" to all the Immortal Officials of the "Nine Soldiers," used for recruiting soldiers and horses.

But rather than calling his brothers over to fight,

he unveiled to them an ambitious plan called "The Great Development of the Backside of Yin Mountain!"

He merely introduced the situation within the Yin Department and made clear the resolute determination of the entire leadership of Fengdu City (actually just himself).

He emphasized with a list of products from the back of Yin Mountain: "Earth Vein Spirit Milk," "Yinchen Wood," "Ink Jade," Spiritual Medicine "Ghost Postmaster," "Ghost Feather Arrows"...

Notably stating the unit measurement as "baskets."

He also issued "Privateering Licenses" under the identity of "King Yanluo,"

Promising that all proceeds only required to pay a thirty percent tax rate would be protected by the Yin Department and provide "True Spirit" custody services.

Even in death, one could start over.

Of course.

Not every Cultivator has the privilege to enter the Underworld.

To enter alive and exit alive, the most straightforward method is to obtain a Divine Position in the "Yin Department Ghost God."

As for what kind of ruthless and wicked "helpers" these brothers might conveniently bring along, that is not a concern for Old Master Wang.

Wang Yuan’s plan is exceedingly simple yet unsolvable.

His goal indeed is to eliminate future troubles and assemble Yin Officials and Yin Soldiers.

But he doesn’t need to plead laboriously to rally them.

Just telling those destitute Immortal Officials about the various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that have been untapped for thousands of years is enough.

If a new continent could drive people mad, what more an entire other world?

As for the local indi... cough, the Yin Mountain Ghost Country, it soon won’t be an issue for the Yin Department anymore.

First, to resolve Fengdu City’s pressing concerns; second, to assemble sufficient Yin Soldiers and Yin Officials to promote to the Green Seal; third, to expand the ranks of "Yin Department Ghost God" Immortal Officials under his command;

Fourth, to energize the economy of the Yin Department, to initiate the westward expansion project, actualizing the development of the backside of Yin Mountain;

Fifth, for the surplus of Yin Officials that won’t be used up—aside from enhancing the internal storage of the "Nine Soldiers"—wouldn’t they still rely on the currently largest "Cloud Tower Ghost Market" for monetization?

For the Wang Family’s trading conglomerate, this is also extremely beneficial.

Without spending a single soldier of his own, just the tolls alone would make a fortune.

Killing several birds with one stone, in this process, there are no losers at all, just a win-win situation!
