Chapter 213: Chapter 212: Destroying Decay (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

"The Witch King... is fighting the Sky Demon?!"

"The Witch King must win! The Witch King must win!"

"Where is the city defense army? Warriors... the moment to defend the sacred land has come!"

...

In the City of Black Nirvana, with the terrifying fluctuations of the battle that they felt, all of the Shaman Race were in utter panic.

The lesser shamans and the ordinary members of the Shaman Race could only kneel and pray, while the Big Shamans formed armies. Some guarded the sacred land, while others ascended the city walls, ready to follow Danya’s orders to attack the enemy at any moment.

Outside the city.

"Impossible... Who secretly passed on to you the Taoist of Talisman?"

Liang Ruyun looked incredibly wretched with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth and one arm broken, her face full of disbelief: "Aren’t you afraid of being caught by the elders, with your soul lit on the soul-lantern?"

Within the Holy Sect, there were countless ways to torture cultivators. The cruelest was to extract a cultivator’s Divine Soul, refine it into a soul-lantern artifact, and then slowly light it.

Whenever the flame burns, it would cause the Divine Soul to experience an unimaginable pain, and this torture could often last for over a century!

Moreover, the Holy Sect would place lanterns of disciples who violated the sect’s rules and were punished with soul-lanterns together, allowing other disciples to witness it—this also became everyone’s nightmare within the Holy Sect!

Before entering the Black Witch Secret Realm, the elders made it very clear that no one was allowed to impart the Shaman Race with cultivation skills, Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, and even checked the Storage Bags. Those who dared to smuggle heritage jade slips were to be punished as betrayers of the sect.

Liang Ruyun could not imagine which disciple had the courage to do so!

After all, she was only at Foundation Establishment completion. Although relying on the External Pills she refined allowed her to barely exert the abilities of the early Core Formation stage, she was still caught off guard by Danya and then completely fell into a disadvantage!

—There was no help for it, the resources in the Secret Realm were too abundant. Danya insanely refined a large number of third-grade talismans, which she used to hurt others at her own expense!

By now, the lands within a hundred miles were in complete disarray, with huge gorges and cracks everywhere.

"Woman, you’re doomed... Once I rally my forces, I will make sure you pay with your life. As for the Witch King, who stole our skills, the rewards the sect gave me are enough to reach Core Formation."

Liang Ruyun glared fiercely at Danya and formed a gesture with both hands. Suddenly, her figure split into six, fleeing in six different directions. This was a life-saving secret skill among the Demon Skills she practiced, which had always been infallible.

However, in the very next moment!

Danya also formed a gesture with both hands. A blood-red light appeared around her, turning into arrows and swiftly passing through several of the phantoms.

"Magic Power?"

"She’s been cultivating too?"

Liang Ruyun, who was in the midst of escape, was shocked. Fortunately, Danya picked the wrong phantoms to attack, and she already had enough distance to escape.

However, in the next moment, Liang Ruyun felt an alarming premonition: ’Something’s not right... if this witch king is a third-grade Talisman Master, then she should also know about the Treasure Pattern that circulates around here...Oh no!’

As Liang Ruyun watched in despair, she saw Danya calmly attach a ’Vertical Ground Golden Light Talisman’ to her body, turning into a beam of golden light that in an instant appeared in front of her, blocking her path!

Vertical Ground Golden Light, known for being the fastest, surely lived up to its reputation!

A moment later.

A mutilated corpse fell to the ground and was burned to ashes by a ball of fire.

Danya thought for a moment and took a Storage Bag out of the flames.

Upon opening it, a vast amount of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Pills, and Spiritual Instruments appeared before her eyes.

However, apart from the map, there were no jade slips at all!

"Damn it!"

After today’s battle, Danya had come to realize that the skills the Bronze Demon Mirror taught her were those of the Sky Demon. They were effective at enhancing her combat prowess and at fighting the Sky Demon.

Regrettably, there was nothing in the enemy’s bag...

"Demon Mirror, Demon Mirror, tell me... what should I do next?"

Danya took out the Demon Mirror from her bosom and fell into a listless state...

’What can I do? I’m just a weak, pitiful and helpless mirror, after all...’ Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness in the mirror commented, but after thinking about it, he still provided a set of second-grade superior concealment array—of course, only half of it.

At the end, there was a phrase—[Sacrifice the Treasure Pattern, gain the sequel]!

"You damn mirror, you’re still asking me for Treasure Patterns now?"

Upon seeing the last sentence, Danya immediately became furious.

...

To the east of the City of Black Nirvana.

Tribe of Five Elements.

This tribe was the most powerful in the Black Witch Secret Realm, and just within the City of Five Elements alone, there were three Witch Kings!

On this day, within the Five Elements Holy Land.

Bang!

One after another, the Big Shamans fell to the ground with lifeless eyes, utterly devoid of vitality.

Looking around, there were easily several hundred people!

Suddenly dying by the hundreds during Foundation Establishment phase, not even the entire Cultivation World of Yue Country would likely be able to assemble so many cultivators!

"Sky Demon!"

"Kill the Sky Demon!"

What were once loud and intense shouts of encouragement gradually became silent and sporadic.

In the City of Five Elements, there lay a multitude of corpses, creating an apocalyptic scene of rivers of blood.

"As expected of one of the most powerful tribes within the secret realm..."

A handsome man holding a White Bone Banner stood atop a mountain of corpses constructed by the Big Shaman, a satisfied smile on his face, "This Essence Soul power... is also quite abundant!"

"Damn Sky Demon!"

Opposite him, two Witch Kings gazed at this person with expressions of terror.

It wasn’t long ago that the Sky Demon, with a White Bone Banner in hand, strolled nonchalantly into the City of Five Elements.

Then, with a single shake of the White Bone Banner, he reaped the lives of a great many of the Shaman Race!

"Demon... why do this?"

The Witch King of the City of Five Elements stared at the man, eyes nearly splitting with rage, as he demanded an answer.

"Why? You cattle are naturally like livestock, the nourishment of the Holy Sect, is it not a matter of course for you to be slaughtered?"

A vicious smile crossed the man’s face, "The blood and qi of the Shaman Race are pure, and their spirits powerful... a single ordinary individual is worth ten, a hundred from the outside world... after sacrificing all the people of this city, my ’Ten Thousand Souls Banner’ will be nearly complete. Isn’t this reason enough?"

"Demon, we’ll fight you to the death!"

The Witch King was surrounded by a radiance of the Five Elements that transformed into a towering, piercing rainbow-hued sword.

"Treasure Pattern of the Five Elements, eh... good, I am still lacking a piece of ’Five Elements Demon Armor’."

A slight smile appeared on the man’s face as he shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and dense Yin Souls materialized around him, bringing a terrifying aura of ghostly energy.

For a moment, it seemed as though the entire City of Five Elements had fallen into the netherworld.

And among these souls, the leading one was evidently the spirit of a Witch King!

Pfft!

The Five-Color Divine Sword cleaved through, ripping open the city of ghosts, destroying a large number of Shaman souls before gradually fading away.

Witnessing this scene, a trace of pain flashed across the Witch King’s eyes, but his expression remained resolute.

With a loud shout, his body’s Treasure Patterns shimmered, looking as though he wore a suit of rainbow armor.

The other remaining Witch King’s wrists suddenly erupted with a five-color radiance, transforming into the appearance of a longbow.

The intense concentration of the five-colored light formed a long arrow.

He drew the bow and aimed at the Saint surrounded by a vast army of Yin Souls.

Whoosh!

The five-colored arrow shot out, obliterating many Yin Souls along its path and barely reached the Saint, piercing his head.

Boom!

The Saint turned into a phantom, with his real body already vanished.

In the next instant, he reappeared behind the Witch King, uttering an incantation as he slammed his palm down, silver runes emerging in the center of his palm.

Faced with these runes, the Witch King’s formidable Five-Color Radiance Armor crumbled like an avalanche, leaving him defenseless against the Saint’s strike at his back.

"You..."

The Witch King struggled to turn around, his face filled with incredulity.

"The Treasure Pattern of the Five Elements is one of the strongest inheritances from the Black Witch Secret Realm... indeed sharp enough!"

The Saint, impassive, spoke, "But cattle will always be cattle... How could you think that by using the power we bestowed upon you, you could stand against us?"

Within the Treasure Pattern of the Five Elements, naturally, there was a hidden door.

Once it encounters the true core of the Holy Sect, it will be as it is now, effortlessly shattered!

The Witch King’s lips quivered, but he could no longer speak. His whole body was enveloped in blood-red flames.

By the time the flames had burnt out, only a white bone armor remained in his place, adorned with myriad colorful Spirit Marks, natural as the patterns formed on bones.

This was a popular magical treasure within the Holy Sect—the Five Elements Demon Armor!

It had extremely high defensive capabilities and was particularly effective against Five Elements Spells.

The Saint nonchalantly collected the Demon Armor and turned his gaze to the last Witch King.

This Witch King had a high nose and a somber gaze. Suddenly, he kneeled down, slamming his head hard against the ground: "I am willing to serve you... my master!"

"Haha... ha ha... Good, otherwise I’d still be lacking a Five Elements Flying Sword..."

The Saint stepped on the back of the Witch King’s head, looking towards the direction of the Five Elements Holy Land: "Five Elements Fruit Tree? Forget it, although I have no use for it, this ’Gold Core Pill’ would be sought after by many in the outside world in exchange with me..."

...

Bodhi Holy Land.

A gigantic Bodhi Tree stood at the center of the Holy Land, its presence permeating the void with a faint fragrance.

Even ordinary people arriving here would feel their Spiritual Wisdom opened wide, as if they could harness boundless intelligence.

"Thank you, sirs, for bringing this item to Wan’er!"

A woman with jade-like feet and a charming smile tenderly reached through a blue Spirit Barrier to pick a Bodhi Seed from the Bodhi Tree.

Gazing at the Six-eyed Bodhi in her palm, she pouted slightly with regret, "Shame... there are only Six-eyed Bodhis. If it were a Nine-Eyed Bodhi, Wan’er could’ve experienced the power of a higher realm earlier... don’t you agree?"

Surrounding her were several figures with gray complexions and sharply nailed hands—each of them strong, none inferior to Core Formation, totaling four in number. They belonged to the Holy Sect, a method of concocting Devil Corpses famed throughout—Six Desires Mixed Sky Demon!

"It’s a pity... the Witch King of this city has already been slain by Wan’er... Otherwise, if two more ’Six Desires Mixed Sky Demons’ were concocted, we could unite to perform the ’Six Desires Extreme Sky Array’... Then, I’d like to see whether it’s the Saint’s ’Ten Thousand Souls Banner’ that’s formidable, or Wan’er’s ’Seven Emotions and Six Desires Confused Sky Skills’ that’s sharper..."

The laughter continued to echo, but the barefooted girl had already disappeared without a trace...
