Chapter 467

Not far outside the Heaven Gate.

Ever since Di Di Shitian was last schemed against by Ao Jue and Jue Wang Jian, leaving him severely wounded.

In order to live for a while longer and treat his injuries in the shortest possible time, Di Di Shitian cast his cold, sinister gaze upon the common people who had no ability to resist.

Di Di Shitian then swung his butcher's knife directly at the defenseless commoners, relieving the passage of his own life by absorbing the life essence of the people.

Although the life essence of individual commoners was very little to Di Di Shitian, and was merely a drop in the bucket for his injuries.

Yet these ordinary civilians could not cause him any influence or harm, and their advantage lay in their vast numbers, so Di Di Shitian took pleasure in relentlessly harvesting the lives of these civilians in one place after another.

Great Han, within a mountain village.

Di Di Shitian floated above this mountain village, and an infinite blood-red aura shrouded the area.

A massive vortex suddenly appeared around Di Di Shitian, and endless suction surged forth from his body.

The ordinary civilians, sealed within the village by Di Di Shitian’s powerful methods, were now terrified and at a loss.

Some civilians ran desperately, wanting to escape this place that had become a living hell.

Others knelt on the ground, praying devoutly, hoping that someone would come to punish the demon flying in the sky, radiating red light.

At this moment, there was no pity in Di Di Shitian’s eyes; his gaze held only coldness and bloodthirst.

"Entering this seat's body and becoming a part of this seat is your supreme glory!"

"Come! Become the sacred medicine for this seat to repair these injuries!"

Di Di Shitian roared loudly as if he had gone mad.

Following Di Di Shitian’s roar, the suction erupting from his body grew even stronger, and a blood-red vortex even appeared around him, with endless suction bursting from his person.

Watching the terrifying scene in the sky, the civilians in the mountain village stood frozen in place, as if in despair.

Then, amidst the fearful screams of the civilians, streaks of bright red aura were sucked out from their bodies, and after leaving these people, the auras gradually formed their original shapes in the sky.

It turned out that Di Di Shitian was not only absorbing the life essence of these ordinary people in the village, but he was also absorbing their souls along with it.

This was something Di Di Shitian had discovered by chance.

It turned out that absorbing these people's souls along with their life essence into his own body had a healing effect several times greater than absorbing life essence alone!

Originally, Di Di Shitian had been somewhat wary of committing such acts that incurred the wrath of heaven and man.

After all, once they reached their level of cultivation, they knew that if they harmed too many mortals, they would be locked onto by the Heavenly Dao in the dark.

And one never knew when the Heavenly Dao might strike with a Heavenly Tribulation.

Moreover, Di Di Shitian’s consumption of the souls of ordinary people meant these commoners could not successfully reincarnate.

The resentment of these civilians killed by Di Di Shitian would remain attached to him.

Di Di Shitian would not care about such resentment from one or two people, but if the number grew and accumulated over time, even a master at the peak of the Land Immortal*Heavenly Immortal realm like him would be unable to bear it.

So, when Di Di Shitian first discovered the miraculous use of souls, he struggled deeply for a while, but as he felt his life force slipping away every moment, he decided to consume these souls.

After all, if he only absorbed life essence, he would eventually be sanctioned by the Heavenly Dao anyway, so absorbing soul power would at most just mean a few more Heavenly Tribulations.

Di Di Shitian knew the Nine Provinces would soon be in chaos, and he had to heal his injuries before the chaos began; he absolutely did not want to die in this chaotic era.

As streaks of blood-red aura were drawn into his body, a look of extreme enjoyment appeared on his face.

"More, a little more."

"As long as this continues, this seat will certainly be able to fully recover from these injuries!"

"When that time comes, this seat will definitely find out who is trying to frame me!"

Di Di Shitian had thought for a long time about Ao Jue’s attack on him, and he always felt there was something suspicious about it.

After spending this time slaughtering ordinary people to harvest life essence and soul power while pondering,

Di Di Shitian could confirm that the Ao Jue who had attacked him was definitely just a pawn.

Behind Ao Jue, there must be an extremely terrifying force that was truly scheming against him.

This made Di Di Shitian feel both worried and furious.

He was furious because for nearly a thousand years, it had always been Di Di Shitian scheming against other forces; no one or force had ever been able to scheme against him.

And what Di Di Shitian worried about was that, other than the feedback from the Heart of Heaven Art indicating he might encounter danger, he had not sensed at all that a force was plotting against him.

"This seat will definitely drag you all out and turn you into tools for my healing!"

Di Di Shitian roared with slightly reddened eyes, and then he saw the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky suddenly erupt with all sorts of terrifying visions.

At first, Di Di Shitian was truly startled.

He thought the punishment of the Heavenly Dao had arrived so quickly.

It was only after all the information on the Famous Sword Ranking was displayed that Di Di Shitian slowly recovered from his fear.

Looking at the introduction of the Emperor-Extinguishing Sword on the Famous Sword Ranking and the name Ying Ying Ziyu, Di Di Shitian’s eyes were filled with jealousy.

"These should all belong to this seat!!!"

"Only this seat, the only god between the heaven and earth of the Nine Provinces, is worthy of possessing such a weapon!"

Di Di Shitian couldn't help but roar in anger.

"If the Seven Weapons Slaying the Dragon plan hadn't encountered an accident, this seat would have certainly been able to forge a divine sword comparable to the weapons on the Famous Sword Ranking using the Seven Weapons!"

"Plus the fusion of Dragon Essence and Phoenix Blood, this seat originally had a chance to enter the Land Immortal*Golden Immortal realm that no one has entered in a thousand years!"

"Why do accidents always happen to this seat's plans, why does the Heavenly Dao never help me?!"

Di Di Shitian roared madly.

After venting his emotions for a long time, Di Di Shitian gradually became calm, and then he began to head toward the next gathering place of mortals.

After all, Di Di Shitian was very clear in his heart that his primary task was to fully repair the terrifying injuries caused by Jue Wang Jian.

Di Di Shitian then left the mountain village that was now left with nothing but corpses on the ground.

And what Di Di Shitian was doing now was just a microcosm of what he did every day.

Since Di Di Shitian was severely wounded by Jue Wang Jian and turned his gaze to ordinary people, scenes of commoners being slaughtered appeared in countries across the Central Plains.

As the places where Di Di Shitian caused chaos increased, the people of various countries lived in endless fear.

Countless commoners were in a state of panic, and the world gradually fell into chaos!
