My fellow disciples and I have lain in ambush for days, and you’re the first of your kind we’ve encountered!\" The leading middle-aged man looked leisurely, with an expression of assured victory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>surprisingly, he wasn’t in a hurry to attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While intercepting Zhou Xun, he had already sent messages to other Demonic Cultivators, who were on their way for support,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after all, judging by his aura, the Zhou Xun before them was a Late-Stage Core Formation expert, and they weren’t sure they could kill him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the left, however, grew anxious and urged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, let’s act, lest we delay too long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, we’ve waited here for days, finally encountering a Late-Stage Core Formation, it’s perfect to witness his methods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was slightly chubby, with a thumb-sized mole on their round cheeks, showing an expression eager to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, two Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivators together can’t match a Late-Stage Cultivator,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which was evident during the Xui Country defensive battle, where the Celestial Feather Sect Grand Elder suppressed two Middle-Stage ones single-handedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Zhou Xun was enclosed by the array, unable to exert his full strength, plus they had three men,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>giving the round-faced middle-aged man immense confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why haven’t you attacked yet, shall I leave then?\" Zhou Xun spoke with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the leading middle-aged in the black robe showed a slight sneer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, since you so wish for death, I shall fulfill your desire. In truth, I’ve never tried making a Late-Stage Cultivator a refined corpse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, he opened his mouth, spraying out a black mist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from which came roars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the middle-aged man formed a seal with his hands, pointing towards the black mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive black ghost head banner emerged from the mist, spanning dozens of meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its face covered with fierce ghosts, constantly howling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, let’s see how you handle the might of my Ten Thousand Souls Banner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he pointed at Zhou Xun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl, howl, howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banner face shimmered slightly, sending out black shadows flying towards Zhou Xun’s position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the two cultivators beside him summoned their lifebound magical treasures,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a pitch-black long hook emitting eerie black mist, and a hundred-zhang-long pitch-black chain, ghostly figures all around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, they’re from the Soul Refining Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing their methods, Zhou immediately recognized them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not as high-ranking as the Blood Refining Sect, the Soul Refining Sect still stood in the second tier within the Demon Alliance, with a Supreme Elder at the Middle-Stage Nascent Soul level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea flashed in his mind, as a thought sprang up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly patted his waist, and with a flash of black light, a small banner about a foot long appeared in his hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then he quickly formed a seal with both hands, pointing at the banner face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t sleep, it’s time to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar, roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, an excited cry came from the banner face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>followed by a cyan light flying out, landing on the ground and transforming into a Cyan Ape over ten feet tall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that was the Soul-Devouring Beast, Cyan Ape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyan Ape was now extraordinarily bright, emitting a faint golden radiance, significantly stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it appeared, an extremely excited expression flashed across its face, its gaze fixed on the opposite ghost head banner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as if utterly unfazed by the onrushing black shadows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly delighted, like a cat spotting a school of fish, it playfully punched its own nose a few times,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then, with a flickering light from its nose,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it sprayed a cyan misty light, enveloping all the black shadows opposite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this light, the once-menacing black shadows seemed to be paused, frozen in place,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without any resistance, they were sucked into the Cyan Ape’s belly in a breath, trailing along the cyan light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the massive long hook and chain also shot towards the Cyan Ape, their might intimidating,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the leftover force from their swing whipped up strong winds, uprooting towering trees dozens of fathoms high, throwing them into the distance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyan Ape roared, its cyan light flashing before it vanished from its spot, evading the joint assault of the black-robed trio,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>upon reappearing, it had grown to a towering height of 150 fathoms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once underestimated you, allowing you to sleep undisturbed at the rear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhou Xun was seated in a vine chair formed by Thorn Techniques, suspended hundreds of fathoms in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>relaxing as if watching a play,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a pot of Spirit Tea would make the scene even more enjoyable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remarkably, this was the first time Zhou Xun saw the Cyan Ape exhibit abilities beyond Soul Devouring, based on size alone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clearly not inferior to an average Tier Three High-Grade Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the hundred-meter giant ape revealing its true form, grasping with both hands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one hand caught the black rod of the long hook, the other snatched the lengthy pitch-black chain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forcefully pulling them together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous sound rang out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>black light burst forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hook and chain cried out, their spirit light gravely diminished, shrinking back to mere inches and falling from the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the two cultivators controlling the magical treasures, the round-faced and the husky man,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>also suffered, as their treasures were damaged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their faces turned white, they spat out huge mouthfuls of blood, heavily injured in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two treasures were their lifebound magical treasures, linked to their minds, thriving or suffering together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, the Cyan Ape opened its mouth wide, exposing four sharp, halberd-like teeth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>roaring at the trio opposite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent sound waves, imbued with the Cyan Ape’s demonic power, directly targeted the divine souls of the three black-robed men!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struck by this, the black-robed trio suddenly stiffened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyan Ape was naturally a bane for ghost soul entities, and the sound waves carried soul-suppressing capability,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seeing this, the Cyan Ape’s body flickered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even at a hundred fathom size, its speed was unaffected,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>becoming a mere shadow, it came barreling to the round-faced man’s side, ferociously punching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Xun hurriedly voiced to stop,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but it was too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tremendous explosion, the man’s head suddenly burst apart, and then his entire body was like a cannonball\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>crashing heavily into the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>creating a giant crater dozens of fathoms deep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun hastily swept with his Divine Sense and saw a cluster of flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-02T11:38:42.696Z",1,"novelbin.me","d9ab1b6950dcd76c96efb9f8bb3e7667dceb07f2960d78fc0e159aa924e04bda","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-490","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-488",564,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-cover.jpg"]
