Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Confession (400 added)

Wu Qi rode the Golden Corpse, rampaging unrestrainedly.

He was the Golden Core Elder of the Yaksha Clan, part of the Corpse Yin Secret Sect. Not only had he attained the Fourth-grade Pill, but due to the sect’s unique Corpse Refining Secret Technique, he also possessed a Golden Core level Flying Golden Corpse.

The Divine Skill contained within his own Golden Core was known as "Asura Blood Transformation"!

At this moment, with every motion of his hands and feet, streaks of bloody radiance flew out, carrying an intense sense of corruption. Even ordinary flying swords, if slightly contaminated, would lose their spiritual essence. This was one of the rare Divine Skills capable of breaking flying swords!

Other cultivators, if even slightly touched, would be invaded by the poison, their entire bodies rotting away to death, an extremity of sinister and malicious cruelty.

Moreover, his Golden Corpse acted as an extremely formidable magical treasure. As it roared, it was enveloped in dense Evil Qi that could overcome most spells.

With these enhancements, the Golden Core Elder of the Corpse Yin Secret Sect often had the upper hand when facing enemies of the same rank.

On the other side, Yi Tianchou had only condensed a Fifth-grade Heaven and Earth Qi External Pill.

Facing Wu Qi’s siege, he was already showing signs of faltering.

Wu Qi cackled bizarrely a few times, then scattered a handful of Nine Sons Mother Yin Thunder over Yi Tianchou’s protective spiritual light, causing consecutive explosions.

The spiritual light wavered and then abruptly dispersed.

The Golden Corpse roared ferociously and charged in, brutally confronting Yi Tianchou’s Golden Core Divine Skill.

Boom!

The mountain range below seemed to tremble, Yi Tianchou screamed and was blown back a distance, while the Golden Corpse was smashed into the ground, creating a large deep pit.

Before long, countless rocks flew about, and the Golden Corpse leaped out again, appearing completely undamaged.

"Young fellow, reaching this stage is already quite commendable," Wu Qi declared. "If you don’t die, you might even make it onto the Golden Core List..."

"Old thief!"

Yi Tianchou, his temples slightly frosted over, eyes nearly splitting with rage, exclaimed, "I went to investigate the Mystical Hundred Refinement Sect, and it was precisely you from the Corpse Yin Secret Sect and the Da Luo Sect who intervened... refusing to stop until death, clearly... you also participated in that plot! You harmed me and Uncle Han!"

"Nonsense, little demon," Wu Qi sneered. "Who in the world would believe you!"

He chuckled bizarrely again: "Besides... today you are going to die!"

With a gesture, the sky-darkening yin soldiers suddenly roared, a tinge of dark green Yin Qi gathering, transforming into a ferocious giant.

This Golden Core Ancestor finally mobilized the full power of the Ten Thousand Soul Formation.

At that moment, Liang Xiao heard Zhong Shenxiu’s voice transmission in his ear: "Do you wish to cultivate a Primordial Spirit in the future?"

"What did you say?"

Liang Xiao’s whole body shuddered.

"Outer Path Golden Core Method is the shortcut to forming a Primordial Spirit. If you want the True Inheritance, go and save Yi Tianchou for me,"

Zhong Shenxiu continued.

Liang Xiao’s expression changed several times, pondering secretly: ’The Creation Ancestor should disdain to deceive me... and whatever he intends to do, no one here could stop him... unless the Returning Elixir Ancestor from our sect personally arrives!’

’I really... have no choice!’

He roared inwardly, his eyes suddenly becoming resolute. He flicked the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and soared into the sky: "Disciples of the Ten Thousand Soul Department, where are you? Lend me your strength!"

Being a True Inheritor of the Ten Thousand Soul Department, now exhibiting his Golden Core Power, he increasingly gained the support of the disciples arranging the Ten Thousand Soul Formation.

After all, they were also people of the Ten Thousand Soul Department!

At this moment, they all roared, pouring countless Mana into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner held by Liang Xiao, effectively transferring the control of the entire formation.

"Imperial command... Ten Thousand Souls gather, Seven Kills White Tiger, kill, kill, kill!"

Liang Xiao manipulated his spell, commanding the Ten Thousand Soul Formation. The previous ferocious giant trembled all over and transformed into a Yin Tiger with crazy evil eyes and wings on its back.

This Yin Tiger was ten times more terrifying than the previous giant, after all, Wu Qi’s Mana had not merged with the disciples of the Ten Thousand Soul Department.

At that moment, it roared, shaking the wilderness.

Suddenly, it struck down toward Wu Qi with a claw!

Snap!

Caught off guard, Wu Qi was smacked into the ground by a tiger’s claw, not only were his organs shattered, but countless bones were also broken. His expression was utterly bewildered, "Liang Xiao, are you blind?"

"Today, I will finish you!"

Once Liang Xiao made his move, he was utterly merciless, controlling the Yin Tiger with evil eyes, he swallowed the Golden Corpse in one gulp.

"Explode!"

He shook the Ten Thousand Soul Banner again, gathering all the mana of the disciples from the Ten Thousand Soul Department and funneling it into the Golden Corpse.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook, the disciples from the Ten Thousand Soul Department screamed in agony, spewing out blood, the Hundred Soul Banners in their hands completely shattered.

Meanwhile, the Golden Corpse swelled to its limit and then... exploded!

Under Liang Xiao’s deliberate control, the Ten Thousand Soul Formation and the Golden Corpse were destroyed together.

Yi Tianchou, watching this scene, though puzzled, did not hesitate even a bit due to his many years of being hunted, and prepared to flee as a streak of light.

"Where might you be going, young friend?"

Zhong Shenxiu blocked Yi Tianchou with a smile and asked.

"You are..."

Yi Tianchou, of course, recognized Zhong Shenxiu, his eyes suddenly turned slightly red.

"Let’s go!"

Zhong Shenxiu beckoned, easily suppressed Wu Qi Ancestor, and gestured to Liang Xiao.

Yu Tongzi cackled strangely, swallowed the guide disciple in one gulp, transformed into a gigantic demonic bird, and carried these people away. In an instant, they flew away and disappeared without a trace.

Several days later.

A desolate mountain.

Zhong Shenxiu casually handed over Wu Qi to Yu Tongzi for him to extract spells.

He then summoned Yi Tianchou and Liang Xiao.

"Having parted that day, I did not expect to see you again, young friend."

Zhong Shenxiu sat cross-legged, his eyes deep, seemingly seeing through everything.

"Regretting not having believed the words of the ancestor!"

Yi Tianchou, his eyes filled with blood, knelt down, "Uncle Han died such a miserable death, we were all deceived by that demon treasure..."

Liang Xiao held the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, leaning against the wall, apparently pondering something.

"Was it really for the sake of refining a Great Perfection treasure?"

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and asked, "Have you found out who is responsible?"

"I’ve been investigating for many years with some clues. Although the demon treasure’s refining method originates from the Demon Path, it was clearly modified later to deceive so many... Looking across the world, probably only the Mystical Hundred Refinement Sect, who obtained the Ancient Treasure Refining True Inheritance, would have such means!"

Yi Tianchou said bitterly, "But as I dug deeper, I realized the six orthodox sects of the Da Luo Sect, Corpse Yin Secret Sect... all started pursuing me, only then I understood, things were not so simple. It’s likely that all the six orthodox sects were involved, and even the five peerless beings might not be clean..."

His gaze filled with hatred, turned toward Liang Xiao.

"This brother, do not wrongly accuse the innocent..."

Liang Xiao was quite indifferent, "I am just a mere True Disciple, I do not get involved in major decisions of the sect..."

Zhong Shenxiu noncommittally pondered for a moment, just about to speak when Yu Tongzi came in smiling and said, "Reporting to master, that Wu Qi is very weak. I only used the third torture method and he confessed everything..."
