The strange world of demon cultivators

Before the words could fade, something unexpected happened.

The Yama Mirror, which had been quietly placed in front of the Evil Lord, suddenly trembled violently, emitting a "buzzing" sound.

In the blink of an eye, the mirror shattered into thousands of tiny fragments.

These fragments swept towards the Evil Lord with lightning speed, instantly enveloping him tightly.

At this critical moment, the other three present exchanged a tacit glance.

They simultaneously realized that a golden opportunity had arrived.

Without hesitation, they instantly activated their prepared methods and magical treasures.

With a flash, they each sped towards a different exit in the direction of the outer realm fragments.

However, just as they thought they could escape smoothly,

those fragments that had been flying around seemed to be controlled by some mysterious and powerful force.

They suddenly froze in the air, motionless.

In the nick of time, the Evil Lord flickered.

Like a ghost, he quickly crossed space and appeared behind Ji Yao in the blink of an eye.

He roared:

"Yama Mirror, you can't escape again!"

With the roar, the Evil Lord raised his palm.

He waved it forward and struck Ji Yao heavily on the back.

The power of this strike was astonishing. Before Ji Yao could react, he felt an overwhelming force coming.

In an instant, he was sent flying like a cannonball.

He passed through layers of fragments and finally fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

With a loud bang, the immense palm force struck Ji Yao like Mount Tai pressing down.

Instantly, Ji Yao felt a darkness before his eyes and lost consciousness.

At the same time, his body, under the impact of this terrifying force,

was directly shattered into countless tiny fragments, as if a gust of wind could completely scatter them.

However, at this shocking moment!

The Yama Mirror fragments scattered all around suddenly seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and gathered around Ji Yao at an extremely fast speed.

Like a shield shimmering with strange light, they tightly wrapped around Ji Yao's already shattered body.

Then, they carried him straight down towards the Sea of No Life below.

With a muffled "plop," Ji Yao and the Yama Mirror fragments disappeared beneath the surface of the Sea of No Life.

Without leaving a trace, as if they had never existed.

Before long, the Evil Lord slowly walked out from somewhere.

When he saw the vast, bottomless Sea of No Life in front of him,

his face instantly turned gloomy, as black as the bottom of a pot.

He angrily raised his thumb and index finger, pinched them lightly, and an invisible force spurted out.

Immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened—the Gu worms hidden deep within the three people's bodies suddenly appeared under the influence of this force.

One of the Gu worms quickly burrowed into Ji Jing's body and began to frantically corrode his meridians and internal organs.

Ji Jing screamed in pain, his eyes rolled back, and darkness fell before him.

Then, he spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood.

His entire body fell uncontrollably towards the fragment exit to the side, eventually plunging into the Death Bone Beach filled with the aura of death.

Almost at the same time, the mother noticed his abnormality.

Anxious, she flew over and grabbed Ji Jing's falling body.

Looking at her son's pale face and weak breath, the mother was extremely anxious.

She quickly used all the healing methods she knew, trying to save Ji Jing's life.

However, no matter how she tried to save him, she could not change the fact that Ji Jing was dying.

She could only watch as his body was slowly eaten away by the Gu worms, turning into a pile of minced meat.

…………

On the other side, the situation of the eldest brother, Ji Hong, was equally dire.

Due to the severe backlash from the Gu worm, his consciousness instantly fell into chaos, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Nine Nether Formation, which had been dormant, was suddenly activated.

Streaks of dark blue light rose from the formation.

Turning into tough ropes, they tightly wrapped around Ji Hong's body.

These ropes seemed to possess some kind of magical power, forcibly trapping the Gu worm that was trying to break free within Ji Hong's body, thus temporarily saving his life.

Due to the severe injuries he suffered this time, Ji Hong's meridians were broken, his dantian shattered, and all his mana vanished in an instant.

Without the support of mana, he fell straight down from the high altitude like a withered leaf, eventually falling into the territory under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Heavens Sect.

Just as Ji Hong's disheveled figure appeared on this land,

a stream of light streaked across the sky and sped over with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, an old man in a cyan robe with a youthful face and white hair steadily landed beside Ji Hong.

This person was an elder in the Myriad Heavens Sect whose cultivation had reached the Core Formation stage.

His perception was extremely sharp, and he sensed Ji Hong as soon as he appeared.

The elder's eyes were sharp as electricity, and with just one glance, he noticed the faint yet eerie ghostly aura on Ji Hong's body.

This aura was extremely gloomy and terrifying, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

The elder's face changed drastically, and he thought to himself:

"This child possesses such a strong ghostly aura; he must be an evil being!"

Therefore, without hesitation, he waved his hand, and a black cloth bag appeared out of thin air.

With a gentle shake, the bag was like a greedy mouth, swallowing the unconscious Ji Hong whole.

Immediately afterwards, the elder flashed, turning into a long rainbow, and disappeared from the spot with the bag containing Ji Hong.

Leaving only a breeze blowing, stirring up a few falling leaves, swirling in the air and slowly falling.

…………

At the same time, the anxious mother tried her best to save her dying child.

She finally used a mysterious and ancient spell, forcibly extracting Ji Jing's almost dissipated soul.

From his already broken and bloody corpse.

Then, this great mother did not hesitate to take out the treasure she was currently in—the Soul-Burning Lamp.

The mother carefully placed the extremely weak Ji Jing into the Soul-Burning Lamp.

In an instant, Ji Jing became the newest wick of the Soul-Burning Lamp.

However, although she successfully gave Ji Jing's soul a temporary place to stay,

the mother knew very well that although this Soul-Burning Lamp was incredibly magical,

it could only save Ji Jing's last bit of soul.

At this moment, Ji Jing was still in a deep sleep, his life or death unknown.

If she wanted to ensure that Ji Jing's soul would not dissipate, the mother had to continuously expend her precious soul power to maintain it.

However, the cruel reality was that the mother herself had very little soul power left!

But in order to protect the only child she could still see with her own eyes, the mother resolutely made an amazing decision.

She used her remaining power to possess a zombie that she happened to find nearby.

From this moment on, she merged with this zombie, using its body to continue protecting Ji Jing.

She carefully placed Ji Jing's lifeless fragments into a wooden box made of high-quality ebony.

This wooden box exuded an old and mysterious aura and was a treasure that the three had accidentally obtained in the outer realm fragments.

Because the aura was strange and similar to the Soul-Burning Lamp, it was given to the mother for safekeeping.

Unexpectedly, it was used here!

Afterwards, in this way, the zombie used her stiff but powerful hands to carry the wooden box on her back.

She walked slowly towards a market town at the foot of the mountain.

The reason why she was so persistent was to obtain more ghostly energy and fresh flesh to nourish the deceased Ji Jing.

Because only in this way, perhaps, could he be revived.

From that time on, the entire cultivation world suddenly fell into a panic and chaos.

A terrifying Core Formation stage zombie was born, and wherever she went, there was blood and slaughter.

One prosperous and lively market town after another was brutally murdered, and the laughter of the past instantly turned into silence and fear.

At first, people naively thought that this terrible zombie would only attack righteous people.

But as time went on, they were horrified to find that this was not the case.

Whether it was the righteous or the demonic path, no one could escape once she set her sights on them.

Some weaker families and sects were wiped out overnight.

The whole family, young and old, were brutally murdered, leaving no one alive.

Although many Core Formation stage cultivators had stepped forward, trying to eliminate her.

However, the zombie's actions were as elusive as a ghost, making it impossible to grasp her踪迹.

Often, when these brave cultivators finally tracked down a clue,

waiting for them was a well-arranged trap or a sudden fatal attack.

Unexpectedly, the many cultivators who originally wanted to encircle and suppress her became her food!

Such an amazing reversal was really shocking.

At this moment, the power of the demonic path was growing, and they were constantly hoping that the righteous path's territory would fall into chaos.

Because only in this way could they take advantage of the situation and launch a fierce attack.

These demonic people were staring at the righteous path's every move.

Like a pack of hungry wolves, waiting for the best time to pounce on their prey.

Faced with the demonic path's aggressive attitude, the righteous people naturally knew it well.

They knew that if they used all their strength to hunt down the zombie at this time.

Once the rear was empty and taken advantage of by the demonic path, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, although they were full of hatred and fear for the zombie,

the righteous path did not dare to act rashly, but could only carefully maintain the situation, so as not to fall into the trap carefully designed by the demonic path.

And this dilemma gave the zombie a rare opportunity to breathe.

She hid in the dark and silently recovered her strength, while also secretly observing the struggle between the righteous and demonic paths.

Preparing to take the opportunity to stir up another bloody storm……
