Chapter 1144: Farewell to Extreme Yin

Yin Sha Blood Corpses are a type of demonic corpse recorded in the Corpse Refining Technique that Han Li obtained from Gan Hehuan Lao Mo. Although WM Wang does not have the true refining method, it also mentions that although this blood corpse is extremely powerful, the process of refining it is overly vicious. It is said that the blood corpse must be refined using a corpse of the same bloodline as oneself in order to suppress the backlash of the blood corpse with the power of bloodline.

During the refining process, the owner's essence and soul will be permanently trapped in the corpse, unable to reincarnate.

Although cultivators generally do not value familial affection as much as mortals do, such a thing that harms heavenly harmony and is cold-blooded is truly something few people can do. Strangely enough, even if some ruthless cultivators truly refine such a blood corpse, their fate becomes extremely miserable, and not a single one can enjoy their full lifespan.

Thus, even if evil cultivators envy the power of the blood corpse, few dare to actually refine it. By now, those who know the refining method are even rarer. Even a great cultivator like Gan Hehuan Lao Mo, who practices the Five Children United Heart Devil, does not clearly know the specific refining technique.

Upon recognizing the white-haired cultivator's two Yin Sha Blood Corpses at a glance, Han Li naturally could not hide his surprise.

However, regardless of this white-haired cultivator's origin or how ferocious he is, as long as he does not interfere, Han Li naturally would not bother with him. After silently hovering in the high air for a while, he swayed his figure a few times and flew straight toward the upper half of the stone peak.

Although he had searched the souls of Miao He and the other two, they only knew that Extreme Yin resided on the stone peak, but did not know the exact dwelling, so finding it would still require considerable effort.

He easily subdued a Foundation Establishment guard on the mountain, used Soul Search Technique to forcibly search him, and obtained the information he wanted.

Upon learning that the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi had not left and was currently at his residence, Han Li was overjoyed, turned that guard into a puff of flying ash, and flew straight toward the peak.

The top of the stone peak is very broad, but there are not many buildings, except for a few isolated halls and pavilions, everywhere is empty and hollow.

This is not strange, as although there are many high-level cultivators on the island, there are almost no low-level cultivators below Foundation Establishment. Therefore, all cultivators of the Nixing Alliance combined on the island amount to only five or six hundred people. Such a number of cultivators above Foundation Establishment is already considered a formidable force.

Moreover, there are even several Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously stationed here.

Han Li concealed his figure, did not stop at all, and silently arrived near a certain large pavilion.

This pavilion looks quite magnificent, five stories high, and becomes wider from top to bottom. At the lowest level, it covers an area of several hundred zhang, resembling a conical stone tower. However, the entire structure is built from a kind of black strange stone, emitting a black-gray yin aura, giving people a feeling of gloom.

After glancing twice at the building almost wrapped in black-gray yin aura, Han Li coldly smiled, suddenly swung his hand forward and slashed at the void, a giant blade formed from purple light flame descended, and wherever it passed, the yin aura surged and split open a passage on its own.

Han Li did not hesitate, twisted his figure, and turned into a green rainbow that shot straight in.

"Who?"

As Han Li's figure just entered the pavilion gate, a surprised voice came from inside, and actually a black light flew straight toward his head. Inside, there was vaguely the appearance of a middle-aged cultivator.

Upon seeing that this person was not Extreme Yin, Han Li paid no attention, flicked his sleeve, and a sword light about a zhang long shot out, flashing and then disappearing mid-way.

The cultivator in the black light was greatly startled, opened his mouth to spit out some treasure, but it was already too late. Only a flash of golden light was seen, and that sword light appeared above his head for some reason, then swept down like lightning.

A miserable cry rang out, and this cultivator was instantly chopped into seven or eight pieces, his Primordial Spirit also shattered into pieces by a sheet of golden light, unable to escape even a trace.

Han Li then glanced at the wreckage, expressionless!

Obviously this is a Golden Core cultivator, from his cultivation method he should be a certain disciple of the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi.

He flicked his finger, a red fireball flew out, with a "puff" sound, intense heat spread out, and the wreckage turned to nothing in the flames.

Han Li turned his head, stared at the staircase, his eyes flickered twice.

By this time, not having alarmed the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi yet, he felt somewhat surprised.

He immediately released his divine sense and swept upward through the pavilion.

After a moment, his face showed a hint of strange color.

The upper floors of the pavilion were completely empty, not a single person in sight. It seemed as if such a large pavilion had only this Golden Core cultivator on duty.

Could it be that the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi had left the pavilion first and did not stay in his residence?

Han Li felt a bit depressed in his heart.

He rubbed his chin, revealed a hint of contemplative color, suddenly a flash of light appeared in his eyes, and his divine sense swept downward.

In an instant, the corner of his mouth twitched upward, revealing a hint of a smile.

Without saying another word, he reached to his waist with one hand, pulled out a red-yellow Jade Ruyi, lightly swayed it, a yellow light curtain appeared and protected Han Li within, then his figure twisted and he strangely dove into the ground. In the main hall on the first floor of the pavilion, it suddenly became empty and hollow.

While Han Li was using the Earth Escape Technique, after drilling down more than ten zhang, a layer of hazy gray light curtain and black stone wall appeared ahead.

Han Li did not think much, his purple flame flashed, and he scratched it on the light curtain.

With a "zhi la" sound, the gray light curtain revealed a small crack.

Han Li twisted his figure and strangely turned into a green thread, flashing through the crack only about half a chi wide.

When his feet stepped on a clean and tidy stone step, he was already in a downward stone step corridor, all around was smooth black stone.

Han Li's gaze was clear and cold as he swept around, narrowed his eyes, released his divine sense, intending to explore downward along the corridor to see what lay ahead.

But he soon twitched his brow, and a soft "yi" came from his mouth.

As soon as his divine sense descended several dozen zhang, it was immediately bounced back by an invisible force. It turned out that the passage below had been set up with a restriction that blocks divine sense.

Han Li was somewhat surprised, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

One should know that the divine sense-restricting formation is not only extremely complex and tedious, but also very costly to set up, even Nascent Soul cultivators would not easily set it up. Here it should only be a temporary residence of the old devil, yet he actually set up such a restriction so solemnly. This is indeed strange!

With a hint of surprise in his heart, Han Li did not pause, but directly floated downward.

The length of this stone staircase far exceeded Han Li's expectation, he walked downward for several hundred zhang and still did not reach the bottom, seeming like a bottomless pit.

Han Li frowned, and muttered to himself in his heart.

But when he floated down a short distance further, suddenly a surge of vigorous spiritual energy rushed toward him.

He was greatly startled, his steps instinctively paused, and he stopped.

Indeed it was extremely pure spiritual energy, far surpassing ordinary top-grade spiritual veins.

After Han Li took a deep breath, his complexion changed several times, suddenly his figure swayed and he shot backward more than ten zhang.

The result was only a few steps away, at the upper few steps of the stone staircase, the spiritual energy suddenly vanished completely.

"Indeed there is something going on!" Han Li clicked his tongue twice, his expression returned to normal.

Immediately he swept his gaze around nearby, then without any sign, raised his hand, and fiercely grabbed the stone wall with his five fingers.

Cold light flashed at his fingertips, those black stones seemed like tofu, were penetrated by his five fingers, and he pulled out a large chunk.

Behind the black stone, there was a kind of light blue stone.

Han Li retracted his hand, lowered his head and stared intently at the large piece of blue stone in his hand.

It looked no different from ordinary blue stone.

Han Li raised his eyebrows, exerted force with his five fingers.

A corner of the stone block was immediately crushed into powder, and the stone dust "hua hua" fell down.

Almost simultaneously, Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light as he activated the divine ability of the Mingqing Lingmu.

"What is this?" he finally noticed something unusual.

Among these blue 'color' stone fragments, some pale silver 'color' particles flickered incessantly within them. Of course, this flickering could only be seen when Han Li infused his spiritual power into his eyes.

Although he had not yet discerned what strange mineral these silver 'color' particles were after a moment, Han Li knew that the spiritual energy was likely confined deep within the stone peak because of these things. This also explained why the spirit stone veins on this island had never been discovered by ancient cultivators or sea demons before.

Having found the cause, Han Li did not dwell on it further and once again floated downward along the stone steps.

According to his estimate, since such pure spiritual energy had appeared, the Extreme Yin should not be too far away.

Indeed, this time descending only fifty or sixty zhang, a streak of white light appeared around a corner ahead, and faintly, human voices could be heard coming from it.

Could the Extreme Yin not be a person?

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat strange in his heart.

However, with his current divine abilities, even if whoever inside was speaking with the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi was said to be the Six Paths, Wan San Gu, or others, he would have no fear whatsoever.

He shifted his body without courtesy and flashed past the corner.

A stone chamber entrance came into view, the stone door actually ajar, revealing a faint white light within.

Han Li let out a cold snort, flicked his finger at the stone door, two thick golden lights crossed and flashed, and the stone door silently shattered into four pieces.

Immediately after, his figure flickered and Han Li directly appeared inside the stone chamber, his gaze sweeping simultaneously and landing on a corner of the chamber.

There stood a black-robed cultivator with narrow eyes, hands clasped behind his back, mouth agape, staring at Han Li with an expression of utter astonishment!

Not the former Extreme Ji Yin Zushi—then who was this?

And on the stone platform before the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi, a mass of black 'color' yin fire floated, within which cradled a Nascent Soul with pale golden skin.

The Extreme Yin was actually using yin fire to torment this Nascent Soul, and there was no sign of a second person in the stone chamber.

"Han Li!" After his surprise, the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi immediately recognized Han Li, his face instantly turning to ecstatic joy.

He had long yearned for the Xu Tian Ding, never forgetting it even to this day.

Immediately, the Extreme Ji Yin Zushi gave it no further thought, shook his sleeve, and a surge of black 'color' demonic qi gushed from his cuff, rolling once before transforming into a huge black python that lunged straight at Han Li not far away.

Han Li saw this and let out a hey-hey cold laugh, raising one hand.

Thunder sounded along his entire arm, a thick layer of electric arc emerged, golden light flashing, blinding and dazzling!
