Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 396: 226, The Sacred Gate should feed on the strongest of heaven and earth.

As a result, due to anger, the ghost king refused to cooperate, so he was then devoured and refined by the “Blood God”.

It was at that time that the girl discovered some materials perfect for sword crafting appeared when the ghost kings were devoured, so she went on to devour two more ghost kings for her sword crafting materials.

“Then you must have refined too few…” Tan Shuchang pondered for a moment before tentatively offering his opinion.

After all, when Shenxu Heaven was still the Jiawu Realm, he roamed freely between heaven and earth, and no one dared to defy him. Even if someone did, they would never show it directly—everyone who met him would bow as their first order of business.

Not to mention being hunted down by the entire map like the girl encountered.

“Really?” Dongdong doubted the words of the demon cultivator upon hearing them.

She was somewhat incredulous.

“What else could it be?” Tan Shuchang retorted.

Dongdong titled her head and thought for a moment, feeling that the demon cultivator made some sense, so she asked, “But aren’t you the one who forbade me from dealing with those ghost kings?”

“Mainly because with fewer ghost kings, the Snake Desire Realm would lose some power…” Tan Shuchang didn’t speak, after all, how could he admit that they were all part of his own reserve?

This practice of preying on a realm, feeding on the universe’s strongest, seemed somewhat likely to end up getting him killed.

“But aren’t there plenty of ghost kings outside the Snake Desire Realm?” Dongdong immediately asked.

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang instinctively wanted to object, because ghost kings are only considered such within their territories—these ghost kings were coronated successfully due to the power of heaven and earth, not like Tan Shuchang whose power was entirely his own; even though he had the body of laws, it only played a supportive role.

However, Tan Shuchang then thought that although these ghost kings would lose the power of heaven and earth’s blessing once they left their original domains, using their foundation plus another blessing of heaven and earth to coronate them again was not impossible!

So, he said, “Tell me how many ghost kings you’ve refined, and I’ll just replenish the corresponding number.”

He conducted himself in a manner which was protective of his kin rather than of principals.

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s request, Dongdong naturally had no objections. Then, this action-oriented girl dashed off to take initiative.

Tan Shuchang used his body of laws to cast his gaze, capturing every scene within the Snake Desire Realm.

Then he saw a grand mass of “Blood God” sweeping toward a ghost king near “Heartless City”; empowered by the force of heaven and earth, it could exert blue tier strength.

However, although the blue tier equates to merging proofs in Dao, this blue tier of Yin Spirit Power couldn’t continuously refine itself like merging proofs in Dao could, achieving peak combat prowess.

This was probably because the mighty power was derived from heaven and earth, not from within oneself.

This ghost king, named “Heart Return,” was also immensely powerful, at least among the ghost kings of this world, belonging to the category of the strongest.

Its Divine Skills could easily change celestial phenomena, and even faintly, thunder seemed to arise from within people’s hearts.

This was the Heart Thunder.

It was one of the most powerful Thunder Techniques among Yin Thunders.

Any inner demons, in front of this Heart Thunder, would be instantly obliterated. However, it also showed how vicious the Heart Thunder was—if it fell on a cultivator, it would deplete the cultivator’s mental energy, leaving the soul intact but no different from a walking dead.

This was true whether it killed cultivators or “Blood Gods”.

Red-shadowed figures just approaching this ghost king instantly turned into remnants.

They were directly dispersed.

However, under the unrelenting ambush by the “Blood God” which had thirty-four years of Dao experience, the Heart Thunder could only exhibit its prowess momentarily. Thus, shortly after, this powerful ghost king could only roar hatefully in extreme anger, killing dozens of “Blood Gods” before being refined by what seemed like an endless supply of “Blood Gods”.

And after refining this ghost king, the hundreds of blood-red figures that had been slain by this ghost king re-condensed.

This was a Divine Skill achieved by Tan Shuchang’s cultivation of the “Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture”; its source was within him.

It’s no exaggeration to say that as long as Tan Shuchang is not dead, these “Blood Gods” could never be completely exhausted.

And for Tan Shuchang, who had over three thousand years of Dao experience, even if the eighty thousand “Blood Gods” given to the girl were slashed to all but one, the mana expenditure required for recovery was trivial.

After all, this was a Dao practice of more than three thousand years!

In the Land of the Four Pillars, most of the cultivators who could be called powerful had a Dao practice of around two thousand years. Even with the background and talent of Lotus Moon Fairy, it took five thousand years to cultivate a three-thousand-year Dao practice, so what about other cultivators?

The talent of Lotus Moon Fairy was truly meant for her to become an immortal from birth.

And other cultivators might not even have one-tenth the talent of Lotus Moon Fairy. Of course, an exception existed for a certain Immortal Path Creature from the Crimson Spring Path.

In the Ghost Heavenly Way, “Shen” abandoned his own self and merged with this spirit of the Immortal Path, he had long transcended the rank of creatures.

Like an immortal, but not quite.

This was why the transformation of this Demon Cultivator from a common mixed blood between immortal and mortal to an Immortal Path Creature was so effortless. Except for the time when Crimson Spring Child intervened, causing the Lotus Platform to produce a blade, at other times, the transformation of this Demon Cultivator was totally as if assisted by a deity.

…

Tan Shuchang had already withdrawn his gaze, with eighty thousand “Blood Gods” at her command, this girl could be said to be more like a blood demon than even a friend of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

Where spoken, no Ghost King could contend with this girl.

The cultivators and players who came due to the bounty set by those allied Ghost Kings were fleeing in panic. Before their arrival, they couldn’t have imagined that this Demonic Sword Maiden’s strength had already reached such a formidable level.

Not of the purple rank, yet surpassing it!

Originally, some cultivators wanted to make a big issue out of the destruction of Phoenix Tree Mountain, after all, each top sect represented a large amount of interest in a region.

You see, Phoenix Tree Mountain could converse on equal terms with someone like the Red-Horned Ghost King. Whenever a disciple of Phoenix Tree Mountain entered the ghost realm, the Yin virtue they obtained could be significantly more.

For instance, a Ding grade evaluation wouldn’t incur a penalty, a Bing grade could get an extra one to three points of Yin virtue, and a Yi grade rating’s Yin virtue could be increased by half.

Although a Ding grade evaluation was unlikely for a disciple of Phoenix Tree Mountain, it still highlighted the preferential treatment of its disciples.

Given these benefits, it was naturally hard not to tempt some people.

However, as this girl commanded eighty thousand “Blood Gods” to hunt and kill Ghost Kings and annihilate any sects that obstructed or harbored malice against her, the cultivators’ view of this girl changed drastically.

It reached a point where people turned pale at the mention of her!

The name of the Demonic Sword Maiden thus transformed into—Blood Refining Demoness.

The girl was so angry that she stomped her foot right on the spot.

However, Tan Shuchang was no longer in the Snake Desire Realm, as he had let this girl kill more than a dozen Ghost Kings, and now, the number of Ghost Kings in the Snake Desire Realm was severely depleted.

Fortunately, there were still many Ghost Kings in the world. It was just that the Ghost Kings near the Snake Desire Realm were scarce, usually none to be seen within a hundred miles.

After all, Tan Shuchang had “eaten” here once before.

So, this time Tan Shuchang traveled a long way before he began to make his move.

Back in the day, when he merely had a Thousand Year Dao, Tan Shuchang could easily capture dozens of Ghost Kings, not to mention now with his three thousand four hundred years of Dao practice.

As he stood upon the clouds, he gently raised his hand downward.

A massive blood-green palm materialized directly and as the palm descended, immediately three Ghost Kings uncontrollably soared into the sky.

These were three Ghost Kings near “Red Corpse City,” each occupying the east, north, and west sides of this city.

The south side was a river containing ghost creatures, but no Ghost Kings.

However, two of these Ghost Kings directly flew out from the “Red Corpse City.” Among them, as one flew out, a beautiful female cultivator followed, face full of terror trying to hold back this Ghost King, but naturally to no avail.

Although it was just a casually manifested power by Tan Shuchang, under the enhancement of the sixth volume of the Cross Calamity Immortal Scripture, Heart Hiding Mountain and Sea, this blood-green palm had already reached an invincible level of blue rank.

Realizing this, one of the three Ghost Kings, who could have broken free, gave up struggling and prepared to see how things unfolded.
