Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 482: Chapter 382: Total Annihilation (2)

Even if Lin Feng and Su Yao, keeping their vows and not revealing the secret of the White Lotus Magical Artifact, such a secret may still leak out in this way.

Of course, whether he cared or not. Zheng Yi was quite pleased that the two of them could show such sincerity.

After making a blood oath, the two carefully inspected the White Lotus Magical Artifact.

Although this was a quite formidable magical artifact, for these disciples of major sects, it was not particularly precious.

At least, this magical artifact was absolutely not worth so many Nether Spirit Race cultivators risking their lives for.

As for why this ordinary magical artifact could withstand attacks from a Golden Core great cultivator like Huiyue Demon Venerable,

Lin Feng and Su Yao tacitly refrained from asking.

Every cultivator has their own means of self-preservation. Such secrets are not questioned even by family or daoist companions.

On the battlefield, the battle of the Nether Spirit Race cultivators was drawing to a close.

The remaining few Nether Spirit Race cultivators were all exceptionally powerful.

One-on-one, perhaps none of them were a match for the General of Nether Prison City.

In a two-on-one, the outcome might still be uncertain.

But with so many against one, no matter how formidable the Ghost General of Nether Prison City was, he was still slain by their combined efforts.

After his death, his body didn’t completely dissipate like an ordinary Nether Spirit Race, but left behind a skeleton cast in silver.

Just as people breathed a sigh of relief, the skeleton suddenly exploded.

The explosion of the bones took away most of the remaining people.

Only two Nether Spirit Race cultivators were left, both seriously injured.

"Fellow Daoist, at this point, if we continue to fight, neither of us may survive. The treasure is good, but to me, it’s not more important than my life."

"Your strength is greater than mine, but if I fight with all my might, you won’t be able to take me down easily."

"How about this? You give me a magical artifact as compensation, and I’ll let you have this treasure."

The other Nether Spirit Race cultivator was tempted by these words.

If the other party simply said they would give him the treasure, he certainly wouldn’t believe it easily.

But if it’s a trade, perhaps the other party really intends to exchange.

As the other party said, his strength surpassed this person. Under normal circumstances, he would have killed for the treasure by now.

But just now in the battle with the General of Nether Prison City, he was also heavily injured and was affected by the final bone explosion.

Now, taking the other party down would probably require a significant cost.

After hesitating for a moment, he agreed hoarsely, "Okay, I agree to your terms."

With a wave of his hand, a token burning with Netherworld Karmic Fire appeared out of thin air.

"This Karma Fire Order, which I obtained by accident, allows control over a part of the Netherworld Karmic Fire once refined."

"This item is definitely no less than the White Lotus Magical Artifact."

As soon as he saw the Karma Fire Order, the Nether Spirit Race cultivator who proposed the trade was filled with greed: "You... really want to give this to me?"

"The cultivation technique I practice is exactly restrained by the Netherworld Karmic Fire on the Karma Fire Order. Refining it would not only be unbeneficial for me but would also impact my power, so it’s now your bargain."

The Nether Spirit Race cultivator swallowed: "Alright! Rest assured, I will keep today’s events a secret and promise not to tell anyone."

With that, he reached out to take the Karma Fire Order.

As his hand was about to touch the Karma Fire Order, the Netherworld Karmic Fire on it suddenly erupted, engulfing him instantly and incinerating him entirely.

Clink!

A palm-sized throwing knife fell to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.

It appeared that Shuang Feiyan never intended to keep the agreement.

"In this world, the only true way to keep a secret is with the dead."

Having dealt with the final opponent, the Nether Spirit Race cultivator did not dare to delay and immediately put away the Karma Fire Order, preparing to search for the White Lotus Magical Artifact that had just flown away to somewhere unknown.

"Are you looking for this?" Bai Zhirui smiled like a flower, on her jade hand was precisely the White Lotus Magical Artifact that had just been thrown away.

"Not good!" The Nether Spirit Race cultivator realized he had been tricked, and without hesitation, turned to flee.

His movements were fast, but someone was faster than him.

The piercing Sword Qi had already reached him, slicing the Nether Spirit Race cultivator into two halves.

"If you want me dead, don’t expect to get off lightly either." Before dying, the Nether Spirit Race cultivator raised his hand towards the sky.

Instantly, a dazzling beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Within a thousand miles, any living being that was not blind couldn’t miss it.

Furthermore, this beam of light contained a power of heaven and earth rules.

Many stronger cultivators, even if they couldn’t see it, could still sense it as long as they were in this world.

Not to mention, the pursuers who were frantically seeking their whereabouts.

"Damn it, even in death, you won’t be quiet. You want to drag us down with you. We must go quickly, Fellow Daoist Su, I’m counting on you." Lin Feng said urgently.

He seemed to already see a vast army of Nether Spirit Race cultivators charging towards them.

Surrounded by enemies, his flying sword was obviously not as hidden or useful as Su Yao’s Kunyi Hairpin.

Su Yao also did not dare to delay and immediately grabbed Bai Zhirui’s hand, ready to take them away.

"Wait a minute!" Before leaving, Bai Zhirui looked coldly at the spot where the Nether Spirit Race cultivator’s body was and activated the White Lotus Magical Artifact, shredding him completely.

"No!" In an unwilling roar, the Nether Spirit Race cultivator’s body slowly dissipated.

"Damn, this guy was pretending to be dead!" Lin Feng gasped.

The big commotion made by this guy, he really thought the other party was refusing to die peacefully, wanting to drag them down with him.

Never had he imagined the opponent was using this as cover for a Houdini act.

Fortunately, Bai Zhirui saw through the deception, otherwise, that guy would have actually succeeded.

Bai Zhirui was also shaken: "Master, how did you know he wasn’t dead?"

Zheng Yi sneered: "As they say, too much concealment gives it away. If he hadn’t made such a big scene, I might have been fooled too."

"But this idiot insisted on putting on such a show. Isn’t he clearly telling us he had another scheme?"

Not long after Bai Zhirui and the others left, the pursuing Nether Spirit Race cultivators arrived one after another.

It was obvious that the number of pursuers following Bai Zhirui had significantly decreased.

Moreover, most of the remaining Nether Spirit Race cultivators were not particularly strong.

After all, the weaker cultivators could easily be led by various clues in other directions, unable to encounter Bai Zhirui and her group.

If not for that beam of light, they might still be searching aimlessly for Bai Zhirui’s whereabouts.

Huiyue Demon Venerable arrived fashionably late.

Among the remaining Nether Spirit Race cultivators, several relatively strong ones stepped forward eagerly for inquiry.

"Demon Venerable, those human juniors are quite strong, many of our people have died at their hands, you see..."

Huiyue Demon Venerable sneered: "You won’t tell me that so many of you were scared off by three human juniors, will you?"

"You all know why we came this time. If we can’t root them out and affect the grand plan, I don’t need to explain the consequences further."

The faces of the Nether Spirit Race cultivators present all turned grim.

If they couldn’t finish the assigned task, Huiyue Demon Venerable, being a Golden Core great power, wouldn’t suffer anything.

But for them, the small fries, there would definitely be no good consequences.

Initially, they hoped Huiyue Demon Venerable would take action personally, but ever since his earlier setback, he changed from his previously eager demeanor.

Obviously, he intended for them to be the cannon fodder.

They understood the reasoning, but under the pressure of the situation, even knowing his intentions, they had no choice but to act.

Huiyue Demon Venerable appeared indifferent, but inside he was cursing endlessly.

"A bunch of useless cowards, can’t even get a read on that guy."

Unlike those Foundation Establishment Stage Nether Spirit Race cultivators, Huiyue Demon Venerable had already deduced that besides those three human juniors, there was another hidden presence.

Yet, despite his efforts, he couldn’t fathom that person’s depths.

All the battles involving Bai Zhirui and her companions had been under his surveillance.

The more he understood, the more he dreaded the mysterious figure behind the three.
