Chapter 709: Extracting the Spiritual Vein Core

Everyone, don't be afraid; we must kill him before he reaches Advancement without bone transformation, for once he does, none of us here can escape.

Without his permission we cannot possibly leave this place.

Everyone, don't forget— even if you manage to get outside, can you actually run away?

Even a monk can run, but not escape the temple; especially Di She Laozu and Tian Xin Dao Ren, the two have nowhere to go.

We must kill Qi Songbai; otherwise the first to suffer will be Di She Laozu, followed by Tian Xin Dao Ren.

Di She Laozu naturally doesn't want Qi Songbai to leave alive; this time he also aims to kill Qi Songbai's soul, but he didn't expect the man to be so ruthless, turning directly into a zombie, inhabiting a new body, thus metamorphosing.

By harnessing the spiritual vein and the life of the entire Qihuang Bao Ku, he sacrifices them to himself, allowing his own Advancement to this level.

Anyone who comes later becomes his sacrificial offering; those heavenly materials and earthly treasures he throws out merely cause them to slaughter each other, and their blood, resentment, and so on all flow into his body, preparing for his emergence.

They are all part of Qi Songbai's scheme; they all know, yet they didn't expect Qi Songbai to be so formidable.

Tian Xin Dao Ren takes a deep breath: "We cannot retreat; once we split up, we will be taken down one by one."

"Fellow Daoists, at this moment we must work together, united, to kill him."

The most anxious are the two of them; Qi Jian hears this, remains silent, staring solely at Qi Songbai.

The Qi Family bloodline—this man will not spare us; once we are killed, his evolution will accelerate.

Qi Jian does not want to die, nor become his offering.

"We must kill him and seize all his techniques and secrets."

"Perhaps this is how he can survive; bring it back to the Qi Family, I will become a great benefactor of the Qi Family, and then the Qi Family will pour the entire clan's strength into cultivating me."

If so, taking a little risk is nothing.

A zombie that has not yet reached Advancement without bone transformation, Protector by heaven and earth, his strength is merely the peak of a True Person, not entering the True Destiny Realm; they still have a chance to slay him.

Qi Songbai is not invincible; he has flaws that can break his defense.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's earlier attack proved everything: this man can be beheaded.

"Di She Laozu, find a way to bind him; I will slay him."

Qi Jian sends his voice to Di She Laozu, and the two reach agreement.

Their goal is the same, so naturally… they remain aligned.

Mu Long Dao Long and Huang Fu Xiu step back a step, lock eyes, and choose not to act immediately, but to observe.

"The gaze is sharp; you all are my food, you cannot escape."

"Especially you, the Qi Family bloodline, I wish to devour you at once."

"Jie jie jie."

Fangs exposed, mouth full of blood.

The terrifying grin makes Qi Jian shiver all over.

"You all attack together; let me see what tricks you have."

"I will play with you properly."

Qi Songbai strikes first; this time he takes the initiative.

The first target is Qi Jian.

Qi Jian draws his sword and charges upward, cannot retreat, cannot fear.

Di She Laozu stands behind, supporting him.

Tian Xin Dao Ren follows up with his strike; this time he cannot hide.

Within the Formation.

Yin Gui Zhenren witnesses this scene; he wants to leave, but outside the Formation's protection he… is afraid.

The Formation is still too close; this battle will inevitably affect this place.

"How much longer does Chen Chuyang need? If those people can't hold on, this place will be affected sooner or later."

"This Formation can only shield temporarily; it cannot continuously protect us."

Yin Gui Zhenren looks back; Jing Yuheng and others are motionless, or rather, even if they are scared or worried, what does it matter?

They are all waiting for Chen Chuyang to return; until he returns, they will not act.

Zhuge Ruolan whispers, "Don't overthink it, Sect Master; if you're worried, you can go out to help."

"The first-generation Qihuang is hard to kill, his power terrifying; your ghost technique might work on him."

Zombies and Yin Ghosts counter each other.

One has a robust body, unafraid of water and fire.

The other is bizarre and terrifying, with strange methods, ghost techniques dense.

Qi Songbai's soul is a weakness, and the Yin Gui Sect excels at targeting souls.

Yin Gui Zhenren shakes his head: "Forget it, this is a True Realm battle; if the Sect Master intervenes, he'll only be sending himself to death."

He is not yet in the True Realm; after struggling to recover, how could he go to die again?

Yin Gui Zhenren does not want to see the hope of Advancement to the True Destiny Realm collapse again; next time, luck won't be so kind.

"Kill, kill to your heart's content; the more intense your melee, the happier I become."

Better to perish together.

Then he can scavenge; perhaps, seizing the chance, a wave of Advancement to the True Realm.

Zhuge Ruolan sees through his thought with a glance, does not expose it; her thought is the same.

These Strong Ones, if any one dies, extracting their souls to become Yin Ghosts would greatly boost her strength.

"These Strong Ones' corpses are all treasures."

Zhuge Ruolan stares at them; the body of the Demon-Heart Swordsman is also good material.

Inside the mountain peak.

Spirit Vein Core.

Primordial Bell trembled, began to draw the spirit vein.

"Primordial Bell, suck."

Chen Chuyang sent true qi with both hands, activating the Primordial Bell.

Several seal signs were cast onto it, the Primordial Bell turned, drawing the Spirit Vein Core.

The Formation activated, protecting this place, isolating the surroundings.

The Spirit Vein Core rose bit by bit, being drawn by the Primordial Bell.

"It moved."

"The speed is a bit slow; I want to speed up the extraction, taking advantage of Qi Songbai not having reacted yet, to take away the Spirit Vein Core."

Li Shenghong's actions, Chen Chuyang observed them; this person, indeed, had not simple purpose.

His identity was also not simple; Chen Chuyang didn't mind, as long as he stood on his side.

In a sense, he and Chen Chuyang are friends on the same boat.

"Kid, hurry up, faster."

Heishanyang saw the situation, excited beyond measure, having prepared for so long; this kid finally managed to draw the Spirit Vein Core.

"Kid, let me give you a hand."

Heishanyang stood up, opened its huge mouth.

A suction force appeared, the Spirit Vein Core sped up floating upward.

With Heishanyang's help, Chen Chuyang became much easier.

Changing hand seals with both hands, continue drawing.

The Spirit Vein Core entered the Primordial Bell; part went in, much remained, the Spirit Vein Core was too large, wanting to draw it all out was not so easy.

Even though Chen Chuyang exerted his full effort, it was still somewhat strenuous, but it did not stump him.

True qi poured in; Chen Chuyang lacked nothing else, just had abundant true qi.

His endurance was formidable; a mere Spirit Vein Core could not limit him.

"Draw."

"Go in."

The Primordial Bell sped up its rotation, a huge suction force appeared, the Spirit Vein Core instantly went halfway in.

At this speed, within a quarter hour, it will all be drawn away.
