Chapter 98

"The Blood-Cotton Devil Robe means little to Senior Brother, but congratulations on slaying the Crimson Powder Crown Prince—his corpse can be exchanged for a Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill."

Fang Han spoke.

"The Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill is indeed a fine thing; even the True Transmission disciples would be tempted. We must carefully consider how to exchange it for a Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill."

Fang Yu moved, and the Purple Flame Sword returned to his hand; he prodded the Crimson Powder Crown Prince's corpse, and a pill-like object fell out.

"That is... Six Desires Yin Thunder?"

Seeing this object, Princess Hong Yi was stunned once again, and Fang Han's expression changed.

For this object was recorded across the worlds as Six Desires Yin Thunder—not a magical artifact, not a spirit artifact, not a treasure artifact, but a one-time use, sinister device forged by a famed Elder of the Hongchenmo Sect.

To successfully forge each such Yin Thunder, one must use the Qi and soul-essence of countless people, absorb toxins in the deepest, most sinister underground places, nurture it for decades, then fuse it with Yin-Yang thunder to condense into a pill.

When one Yin Thunder is unleashed, it explodes into countless red fumes and hundreds of demonic shadows, enough to render any spirit artifact useless, corrupting its magic power and rendering its wielder unable to control it.

That is to say, one such Yin Thunder can disable a single spirit artifact; against a person, it is even more terrifying.

Merely absorbing a trace of it will cause instant unconsciousness, for Six Desires Yin Thunder carries not only sinister toxins but also hundreds of vengeful spirits that corrupt the mind.

If the Crimson Powder Crown Prince had activated this Yin Thunder, this would have been a great trouble—but Fang Yu acted too swiftly, killing him before he could even unleash the Six Desires Yin Thunder.

Now, the Six Desires Yin Thunder had fallen into Fang Yu's hands.

"It will come in handy eventually."

Fang Yu moved and immediately sealed away the Six Desires Yin Thunder, yet he did not directly store the Crimson Powder Crown Prince's corpse within the Ten Thousand Worlds King Map.

"Killing the Crimson Powder Crown Prince means carrying his corpse—it's inconvenient. One day I'll have to buy something like a Hundred Treasures Sack."

Fang Yu found a rope and tied up the Crimson Powder Crown Prince's corpse.

"Senior Brother, where are we going now?"

Princess Hong Yi also gathered the severed demon yak skulls and asked again.

"Continue toward the Blue Moon Kingdom. Having slain the Crimson Powder Crown Prince, you two now qualify for the Inner Sect examination—but returning to Yuhua Sect now would invite complications."

Fang Yu summoned a celestial crane and continued toward Blue Moon City.

The Crimson Powder Crown Prince's corpse is worth one Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pill—even True Transmission disciples might be tempted. He must wait before handing it over to Yuhua Sect's Elders.

The group continued onward, heading toward Blue Moon City.

During breaks along the way, Fang Yu instructed Fang Han and Princess Hong Yi in Wu Gong; naturally, he himself also gained some supreme techniques.

Princess Hong Yi had some knowledge of both Immortal and Devil sect foundational Wu Gong, even more than Fang Yu knew; now, after exchanging insights, both made progress.

"Ahead lies the Blue Moon River; further down lies the Blue Moon Kingdom. But this journey won't be peaceful—bandits and subterranean devil folk have besieged the Blue Moon Kingdom, so there must be more troops stationed here. It's no surprise to find flying yak demons."

As Fang Yu finished speaking, a colossal black mist suddenly erupted over the distant Blue Moon River, like a pillar of wolf smoke, straight into the sky.

Around that smoke column, a violet lightning encircled it, like thunderous lightning, and a blade's gleam suddenly flashed, slicing the smoke pillar into two.

"Violet Lightning Transforms into Serpents, Yin-Yang Awakens!"

Even Fang Yu heard a cold voice, and saw, far in the sky, a white-robed woman manifesting in empty space, the violet lightning thunder transforming into two enormous electric serpents.

Each violet lightning serpent stretched over ten zhang long, as thick as a man's thigh, its scales vividly lifelike, tongues flickering.

Sssshhh!

As soon as the two serpents coalesced, they immediately flicked their tongues, swirling and dancing in the air, forming a Yin-Yang circle, unleashing a deafening thunderclap that seemed to purify the entire distant void.

The powerful current instantly incinerated much of the black smoke.

"Ah, Fang Qingxue! Damn it—you've ascended to the 4th Stage of Divine Abilities, Yin-Yang Realm!"
