Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 241: Vanishing in the Blink of an Eye (12)

Heaven and Earth Sect, Central Square.

Wherever the gaze fell, it was filled with despair, fear, resentment, and other negative emotions.

These negative emotions all came from the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Because the previous Sect Master of the Mysterious Yellow Sect, a powerful cultivator at the Soul Formation stage, was currently slaughtering the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect, harvesting their souls to strengthen the Soul Nurturing Banner.

"Cao Dian, not only did you collude with the demonic race, but you also colluded with the Yin Domain. You are destined to have no place to be buried in the future!"

The fifth elder of the Heaven and Earth Sect cursed loudly.

He was a living fossil of the Heaven and Earth Sect, having lived for nearly two thousand years. He had heard of the Yin Domain and knew exactly what kind of existence it was.

It was full of demonic cultivators, with a pervasive aura of the underworld, and was the main culprit behind the destruction of many regions.

Therefore, when he saw Cao Dian using the Yin Domain's Law Weapon, the "Soul Nurturing Banner," to harvest souls, he knew that Cao Dian must have had some unknown dealings with the Yin Domain.

Listening to the curses of the fifth elder of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Cao Dian couldn't help but smile.

He looked at the fifth elder with a contemptuous and mocking gaze.

"I don't know if I will have no place to be buried in the future, but what I do know is that you will have no place to be buried right now."

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, and he beheaded the fifth elder with a single sword strike.

Then, he used a secret technique to pull out the fifth elder's soul and refine it into the Soul Nurturing Banner.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

Obviously, he had done this kind of thing many times before.

During the process of being absorbed into the Soul Nurturing Banner, the fifth elder's soul struggled incessantly, and a face full of wrinkles was filled with pain.

If the soul could emit screams of pain, the entire central square would probably be filled with his screams.

Seeing the fifth elder in such pain, the other cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect were shocked.

Especially the sixth elder, who was kneeling next to the fifth elder, waiting to be killed. He was so frightened that he immediately offered a pledge to Cao Dian in front of him, saying,

"Master Cao, wait! Don't kill me! I am willing to be your right-hand man. I can help you kill the cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sect right now to prove my determination!"

The longer one lives, the more afraid of death they become.

Cultivators are no exception.

The sixth elder had cultivated diligently for thousands of years, and finally became a powerful cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage, standing at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Domain. He had endless glory and wealth, and countless beautiful celestial maidens to enjoy. He was unwilling to die like this.

The other core elders angrily cursed the sixth elder upon hearing his words.

"Zhang Jinde, you coward!"

"To survive by any means necessary, Zhang Jinde, can you justify the painstaking cultivation our master gave us?"

"Zhang Jinde, you deserve to die!"

The several core elders cursed him harshly, their voices filled with anger. They seemed to want to flay the sixth elder alive and tear him into a thousand pieces.

Seeing this mocking scene before him, Cao Dian couldn't help but laugh.

"Interesting, really interesting."

"In the face of great calamity, people's inherent flaws are all exposed."

"Selling women to survive, sacrificing wives to survive, killing fellow sect members to survive. As long as they can stay alive, they are capable of any morally corrupt act."

"It's really sigh-inducing."

As Cao Dian spoke these words, the smile on his face grew even wider, causing the hearts of the cultivators from the Heaven and Earth Sect to shiver.

In the next moment, his right hand holding the sword lifted up, and a faint bloodline appeared on the bodies of the six elders.

A bloodline that ran through the middle of their bodies.

When this bloodline thickened, the bodies of the six elders split in half and fell to the ground with a "thud".

Cao Dian didn't even blink at the bloody scene before him.

He simply followed the same procedure, tearing the souls of the six elders from their divided corpses and collecting them in the Soul Nurturing Banner he held in his left hand to refine them.

The surrounding cultivators from the Heaven and Earth Sect were filled with despair at the sight.

Even the core elders, who were highly valuable, couldn't escape death, so there was no way for them, the lower-ranked ones, to survive.

In the following time, Cao Dian no longer wasted words and swiftly killed with his sword.

In just the blink of an eye, he collected a large number of souls, all of which were refined and stored in the Soul Nurturing Banner.

In contrast, the Heaven and Earth Sect lost most of its Nascent Soul and Gold Core experts, almost on the verge of being annihilated.

"Second Elder, you betrayed the sect, and you will go to hell after you die!"

A steward who was about to be killed by Cao Dian cursed him and then looked ferociously at the Second Elder not far away, shouting this malicious curse at him.

The Second Elder sneered, "Huh, dying people always love to rage in impotence."

Cao Dian nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

After speaking, he swiftly ended the life of the steward in front of him with a sword, tearing out his soul and refining it in the Soul Nurturing Banner, turning it into a soul puppet without self-awareness.

"Buzz—"

A piercing sound of breaking through the air rang out.

Cao Dian looked up and saw a Mysterious Yellow Sect elder with a cultivation level reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul flying towards the central square on his flying sword from a distance.

He took a closer look and saw a woman bound by immortal ropes hanging in mid-air, constantly swaying back and forth from the gusts of wind.

"Master, I've captured the saintess of the Heaven and Earth Sect for you!"

As the Mysterious Yellow Sect elder was about to land on his flying sword, he smiled and shouted, seeking credit.

Then, quickly, he landed on his flying sword and casually rolled Ning Xian'er to a stop in front of Cao Dian.

Cao Dian looked down at Ning Xian'er at his feet and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, another Nascent Soul puppet to add."

Just as he was about to raise the sword in his hand mercilessly and kill Ning Xian'er, extracting her soul and refining it in the Soul Nurturing Banner, he suddenly changed his mind.

He carefully examined Ning Xian'er's fairy-like appearance and his eyes were filled with admiration as he said,

"Such a stunning beauty, it would be a waste to kill her. I'll bring her back and train her as my bed slave."

"Elder Han, take this saintess of the Heaven and Earth Sect and keep her with those cultivators. Bring her back to the sect as my bed slave when we leave."

He said to the Mysterious Yellow Sect elder who had just spoken.

Upon hearing this, the Mysterious Yellow Sect elder lifted the rope from the ground and held it in his hand, roughly pulling Ning Xian'er up from the ground and taking her to a tree where dozens of beautiful female cultivators and handsome male cultivators were sitting.

"Cao Master, now that the Heaven and Earth Sect has been breached, when will you fulfill your promise to me?"

The Earth Dragon King, whose cultivation level was at the peak of the ninth layer of Nascent Soul, just one step away from the Soul Formation stage, asked Cao Dian with a smile on his face.

As a member of the demon race, it had come to help Cao Dian attack the Heaven and Earth Sect because Cao Dian had promised to tell it the method to break through to the Soul Formation stage after the battle.

Cao Dian replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I, Cao Dian, have always been true to my word. Since I promised to help you break through to the Soul Formation realm, I will definitely do it."

Upon hearing this, the Earth Dragon King became ecstatic.

It had originally been worried that the human race might be cunning and would betray it after crossing the river.

But it didn't expect that the new Sect Master of the Mysterious Yellow Sect would be so trustworthy and worthy of cooperation.

"Dragon King, the reason I was able to achieve Soul Formation in the Great Thousand Domain is all thanks to a mysterious formation in this box."

Cao Dian took out a golden glowing jade box from his storage ring and handed it to the Earth Dragon King with a kind expression.

When addressing the Earth Dragon King, he even removed the "earth" character from the front, showing great attention to detail.

The Earth Dragon King eagerly took the jade box and excitedly opened the lid.

The moment the jade box was opened, a pitch-black mist rushed out from inside and swiftly entered the Earth Dragon King's mouth, nose, and ears as if it had intelligence.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul experts of the Mysterious Yellow Sect suddenly launched attacks on the nearby Earth Dragons, seeking to kill them with a single strike.

"Cao Sect Master, what do you mean by this?!"

The Earth Dragon King's face showed fear.

At this moment, its five bellies and six organs were being eroded by the black mist that had just surged in, causing its heart to almost stop beating, its blood flow to almost solidify, and even its spiritual roots to melt and decay.

Once Cao Dian made up his mind to kill it, there would be no hope of survival.

"I, Cao Dian, am as good as my word. When I said I would help you break through to the Soul Formation realm, I meant I would help you break through to the Soul Formation realm, but it's just that I will assist you in breaking through inside the Soul Nurturing Banner."

After speaking, Cao Dian raised the sword in his hand high and maintained a kind smile on his face.

Then, with a "swish" sound, Cao Dian raised his sword and in the blink of an eye, shattered the Earth Dragon King's physical body into fragments. He then used the Soul Nurturing Banner to collect its slowly drifting soul.

"I dare to say it, and you dare to believe it. Indeed, the demon race is foolish."

Cao Dian looked at the pile of flesh and mud on the ground, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

Colluding with the demon race is unacceptable in the human realm?

No problem, kill the humans first, then betray the demon race, and everything will be fine.

"Cao Dian, you will not die a good death!"

"You treacherous scoundrel!"

"The Earth Dragon Clan will never let you go!"

"..."

Those Earth Dragons who were being slaughtered by the Nascent Soul experts of the Mysterious Yellow Sect used their last bit of strength to curse Cao Dian.

But Cao Dian didn't care, as he had long been accustomed to being cursed.

He walked towards the second elder of the Heaven and Earth Sect and calmly said to him, "Father-in-law, the Heaven and Earth Sect has been breached, and the Earth Dragon Clan is finished. It's your turn now."

"Son-in-law, what are you saying?!"

The second elder's face was filled with shock, never expecting that his son-in-law would turn against him.

The reason he betrayed the Heaven and Earth Sect and colluded with the Mysterious Yellow Sect was not only because Cao Dian promised to help him break through to the Soul Formation realm, but also because Cao Dian was his son-in-law, having married his three illegitimate daughters who were raised outside.

But he didn't expect that Cao Dian would be so ruthless, not even sparing his own father-in-law.

"Someone like you, who can betray the sect for personal gain, will eventually betray me as well. What's the point of keeping you alive?"

Cao Dian calmly approached the second elder with a blood-stained sword in hand, his voice steady but unsettling the second elder who was listening.

The second elder panicked and quickly said, "Cao Dian, I am your father-in-law, you cannot kill me. If you kill me, how will you explain to my three daughters afterwards?"

"Don't worry, there's no need to explain."

Cao Dian had already reached the second elder's side and used the Immobilization Technique to firmly immobilize him in place. He raised the sword in his hand and said, "Because, for the sake of eradicating the roots, I killed your three daughters the night before I came to attack the Heaven and Earth Sect."

"Beast, you beast! Two of my daughters were carrying your child. How could you bear to do such a cruel thing? After you die, you will descend into the eighteen levels of hell!!!"

The second elder's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a hysterical roar.

Cao Dian found him too noisy and directly beheaded him, collecting his soul in the Soul Nurturing Banner to refine it.

Then, looking at the Soul Nurturing Banner in his hand, a twisted smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I will go to hell?"

"What a joke..."

"I have reunited you, an old man whose life is about to end, with your daughters in the Soul Nurturing Banner. Moreover, I can share the same lifespan as the owner of the Soul Nurturing Banner. This is an act of kindness, destined to be protected by the heavens."

After speaking, Cao Dian held his sword and walked towards the dying earth dragons, intending to harvest their souls.

"Buzz—"

A burst of high-speed breaking sound came from the sky.

It was Chen An, who had transformed into the appearance of Xiao Qingyue, flying with Shen Qingyi on a sword.

"Lord Xiao, have you come to rescue your holy disciple?" Cao Dian looked up at Chen An flying in the sky, thinking he was Xiao Qingyue, and his tone was full of disdain and mockery.

Chen An hovered in the air above the central square, expressionless, and said, "Rescuing my disciple is one thing, but I mainly came to inform you of some good news. Your disciple Zhang Tianhe has already died at my hands, and he died miserably, with his soul annihilated, never to be reincarnated."

"What did you say?!"

Cao Dian widened his eyes at the words, his anger rising rapidly.

Zhang Tianhe was not only his disciple but also his lover.

Zhang Tianhe's death was like a bolt from the blue for him.

Ignoring his reaction, Chen An looked at Shen Qingyi behind him and asked gently, "Qingyi, is your worthless master here? I will help you settle this grudge right now."

Shen Qingyi responded with a sound of agreement and began searching for the figure of their enemy in the crowd below.

At the same time, Cao Dian quickly recovered from the blow of losing his loved one.

He lost his sanity a bit and directly manifested a giant hand that covered the sky, fiercely slapping towards Chen An and Shen Qingyi.

However, just as the giant hand was about to strike them...

Without even looking, Chen An casually raised his hand and flicked his finger. Then, a crisp sound rang out, and the giant hand instantly cracked, crumbling into powder with a few cracking sounds.

Almost at the same time, a powerful impact suddenly appeared on Cao Dian's right hand, causing his whole body to fly backward like a bent river prawn.

A series of booming sounds pierced through five peaks surrounded by cloud houses.

The entire Heaven and Earth Sect trembled.
