Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 512: Chapter 262: Blood Demon Sect Leader, Jue Xing’s Despair [5K Word Chapter]

However, one thing could be confirmed: the True Spirit Demon Tree was the only known object for bloodline ascension.

So, regardless of the commotion it might cause and the sensation it would create in the Land of Ten Thousand Feet of Absolute Spirit, the True Spirit Demon Tree must be completely devoured, not missing a single bit. Thinking of this, the ever-growing corpse qi within the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body swiftly transformed into Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, spreading beyond ten thousand feet, continuing to intensify the devouring of the True Spirit Demon Tree, aiming for the fastest result.

The continued expansion of the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi made the Three Karmic Demon Lord’s face change again, but at this moment, he couldn’t worry about much. Since Jue Xing couldn’t help him, he could only find another way to survive, and that path was in Li Bai’s hands.

As long as he did not extinguish the True Spirit Demon Tree, even if its Demon Essence was completely consumed, he still had a chance to survive.

So in the next moment, the Three Karmic Demon Lord plunged back in, constantly getting closer to the East Spring Undying Bone amidst destruction and rebirth. As for Jue Xing and the Demon Pill Demon Cultivators, seeing the further increase of the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, they were already in complete disarray, helpless. Advancing was not an option, retreating was even more impossible, they were caught in a dilemma.

Advance, and perish.

Retreat, and it’s hard to account for.

”Altar Master, what should we do?”

”Altar Master!”

A few people urgently sought help.

Jue Xing angrily said, ”Don’t bother me!”

The Demon Pill Demon Cultivators hurriedly shut their mouths, already having the thought of retreat in their hearts. Even retreating made it hard to report back to the sect, but it was better than staying here and perishing. If the Three Karmic Demon Lord couldn’t withstand the devouring of the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi, what could they possibly do?

Like the others, Jue Xing also began to harbor the intention to retreat.

The oppressive feeling given by this terrifying ghost qi was just too strong, exceeding the threat posed by any late-stage Golden Core Cultivator. The reason he hadn’t retreated was simply that it was too hard to account for. If the Dark Altar was destroyed, it would be one thing, but the True Spirit Demon Tree being destroyed by Li Bai’s hand would definitely result in a hundred-year imprisonment in the Demon Prison upon returning.

”Altar Master, why not bring some of this ghost qi that can devour even the True Spirit Demon Tree back?” At this point, a Demon Pill Cultivator quickly reminded.

Jue Xing’s face tensed, the True Demon Body gradually dissipated, revealing the human form again. After taking out a Tier Three Middle Grade Vessel, he contained a portion of the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi within it. However, as soon as the ghost qi was contained, he noticed the Tier Three Middle Grade Vessel was being rapidly corroded, and the Demonic Qi and Yin Technique within were being quickly devoured.

”Quickly take this and leave, the faster the better, this Tier Three Middle Grade Vessel won’t last long... maybe at most half a day.” The destruction of a Tier Three Mid-grade Demon Artifact would have distressed him to death in the past, but now he couldn’t afford to care much.

Even if the ghost qi couldn’t be taken back to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, it must be shown to the other Altar Masters, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

”Yes!”

The three nodded.

Carefully receiving the Tier Three Mid-grade Demon Artifact, they quickly vanished.

The others also left swiftly after Jue Xing waved them away, leaving Jue Xing alone outside the Spirit-Extinguishing Ghost Qi.

Because in Jue Xing’s view, he couldn’t just leave. The Three Karmic Demon was of great importance to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect; he knew too many secrets of the Blood Demon Sect. Additionally, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s schemes included remnants of the Blood Demon Sect. Though no one knew exactly what the Blood Demon Sect had left behind, this matter was personally instructed by the Demon Lord of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, making it undoubtedly significant. If the Three Karmic Demon Lord perished, reporting would also be difficult.

However, even if he stayed, there was only the Land of Ten Thousand Feet of Absolute Spirit in front of him, which he dared not step into at all.

”Damn it, what kind of ghost qi is this?!”

...

Amidst the Land of Ten Thousand Feet of Absolute Spirit, the Three Karmic Demon Lord struggled desperately to return to a hundred feet away from Li Bai, continuously crying out amidst death and rebirth, ”Friend, I know the secret of the Blood Demon Sect, and I also know what the mysterious Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect wanted to bury and hide by slaughtering all the fellow members. As long as you spare me, I’m willing to tell everything.”

”If you don’t believe me, you can keep the True Spirit Demon Tree with you. As long as the True Spirit Demon Tree is around, my life will always be in your hands. Killing me would be just a thought away for you...”

Wen Jiu watched silently at the pleading Three Karmic Demon Lord, while also noting the information about the Blood Demon Sect Sect Leader slaughtering all the fellow members.

Whether in the memories of the Fake Pill Demon Cultivator’s Demon Soul or in legends, the Blood Demon Sect Sect Leader went mad after cultivating the Demon Technique thoroughly and killed his fellow members, which was why the Blood Demon Sect was destroyed.

But to the Three Karmic Demon Lord, the Blood Demon Sect’s Sect Leader did this to hide and bury something.

”Whatever it is, capturing the soul of Three Karmic Demon Lord directly is safer. If I can’t obtain it by killing him, it doesn’t matter. Such opportunities are nice to have, but it’s not like I can’t live without them.”

Wen Jiu glanced at his daily settlement panel and continued to devour the True Spirit Demon Tree. At this moment, the True Spirit Demon Tree had grown smaller and smaller. When the Demon Essence within the True Spirit Demon Tree was reduced to only twenty percent, the True Spirit Demon Tree rose to a height of three zhang.

The less Demon Essence, the smaller the tree.

Simultaneously, the speed at which the Demon Essence flowed away increased.

Thus, the Three Karmic Demon Lord’s desperate pleading turned into a desperate frenzy. Seeing that he was going to be spared, the Three Karmic Demon Lord pounced towards him madly, but it was always like a moth flying into the flame.

When the True Spirit Demon Tree was only half a zhang tall, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to activate the Soul Capturing Eye, seizing control of the True Spirit Demon Tree and the Demon Soul of the Three Karmic Demon Lord within it, devouring the last bit of Demon Essence.

When the Demon Essence was completely depleted, the True Spirit Demon Tree was reduced to the size of a palm, resembling a withered black sapling. As long as the East Spring Undying Bone exerted some force, the True Spirit Demon Tree would extinguish.
