Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Killing and fighting were prohibited within the city.

But...

no one had ever come out to stop them.

...

"Chen Qiu... right next to me?"

The young man below was at this moment looking in disbelief at the figure of Chen Qiu on Green Stone Street, and even felt some lingering fear; he had talked with Chen Qiu for so long and even let Chen Qiu know the nickname he had secretly given him.

And Chen Qiu hadn't killed him?

Was this not like getting a second lease on life?

The surrounding guests exchanged looks and then almost simultaneously stood up and followed behind Chen Qiu from a distance, wanting to see where Chen Qiu was headed. They had always heard about Chen Qiu from the storyteller and this was their first time seeing him in person.

Upon hearing of this commotion, the other city dwellers also found out that Chen Qiu had come to Crow Ghost City and joined the large group trailing behind, eager for a glimpse of such a Heavenly Pride.

...

Outside Crow Ghost City.

Having just left the city gate, Chen Qiu intended to draw the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella and hold it in his hand, but since he couldn't establish contact with the Heavenly Dao Ring, he couldn't retrieve the Spiritual Treasure and instead casually grabbed a long spear from a city defense soldier beside him.

Casually breaking it, he kept a short section and examined it.

Somewhat dissatisfied.

He then carelessly threw the short section aside, his hands empty as he walked out toward Crow Ghost City, looking into the distance and not seeing the several Divinity Transformation Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators appearing immediately, he laughed loudly and said.

"The four great joys of life:

"A timely rain after a long drought, a familiar face in a foreign place. A wedding night, achieving one's name on a prestigious list."

"Today I, Chen Qiu, have one of these joys. Yuan Sect Master, you have been seeking me all along, why not show yourself now?"

His Cultivation Progress was at 70%.

Although he had killed Qi Mei, his Cultivation Progress had not fallen, as only killing those of the Alien Clan weaker than oneself would cause a decline. Qi Mei belonged to the Human Race, the same as him, so there was no drop.

As his words fell—

Several Divinity Transformation Devil Clan Ghost Cultivators, without hiding, immediately shot over from a distance, hovering in the air and firmly surrounding Chen Qiu, consisting of five at the Peak of Divinity Transformation and three at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation!

This formation was already extremely powerful.

With no Void Refining coming forward, who in the world could escape this besiegement!?

"Very good, very good!"

One of the Peak Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators of the Devil Clan, now hovering in the air, looking down at Chen Qiu below with eyes red with greed and increasingly rapid breathing: "Truly worthy of a hundred billion merit value, I have already sensed that rich aroma, just by devouring you, I will be able to break through to Void Refining!"

"It's Chen Qiu, right."

"Having met us today, you would be worth your death."

"..."

Chen Qiu merely smiled and looked upward at the several Divinity Transformation members of the Devil Clan in the sky, already having a plan in his heart. These Divinity Transformers were not enough for him; his rare trip to the underworld wasn't for settling on scraps.

After becoming a Ghost Cultivator in the underworld, although one couldn't live longer, the lifespan was actually equivalent to three times that of the Mortal World.

This meant, the quantity of Divinity Transformers amassed in the underworld surpassed that of the Mortal World.

These...

were all his targets!

Since ancient times, fishing has required bait, maintaining a just-out-of-reach yet tempting state to draw in more big fish, and he, Chen Qiu, was that bait.

Subsequently, he had grown too lazy to listen to these Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators' nonsense. His eyes blazing with fervor, he exerted a slight force with his feet, and his body violently shot into the sky, randomly punching one of the Devil Clan Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators into a mist of blood.

The mist of blood exploded in the air, like fireworks ascending.

Not even a bit of flesh could be seen, not even the size of a fingernail, as under such brutal and excessive physical strength, even the bones were obliterated into debris.

With a body forged from trillions of merit values, who in the underworld could stand against him?!

"Boom!!"

This punch made the nearby Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators, who appeared to be provoking casually but were actually nervous, almost simultaneously rush towards Chen Qiu the moment he stopped in the air!

In an instant!

All kinds of weapons—great axes, long swords, hammers—smashed onto Chen Qiu's body almost at the same time.

Chen Qiu was immediately pummeled to the ground by these strikes, creating a trench several dozen yards long on the ground. Clutching his chest, he appeared to be in immense pain as he staggered to his feet, seemingly quite severely injured.

The few Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators, originally apprehensive after seeing Chen Qiu kill a Divinity Transformation with one punch, viewed Chen Qiu's miserable state and immediately felt their unease dissipate, their eyes filling rapidly with intense greed.

They rushed towards Chen Qiu one after another, competing over who could kill Chen Qiu and thereby gain a larger share of the spoils!

"Boom!!"

These Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators gave their all, striking Chen Qiu with the weapons in their hands. Dust exploded instantly, and after the strike, these five Devil Clan members backed away again, their faces looking somewhat unsightly as they turned to view the blood mist that had again exploded in the air.

Chen Qiu had just withstood their attacks and had punched another Early Stage of Divinity Transformation to death!

Indeed, with a body forged from trillions of merit values, as unease rose again in their hearts, they saw Chen Qiu who was blown away spit out a mouthful of fresh blood on the ground. Without much thought, their eyes glowed red with greed as they rushed at him again!

"Boom!"

Chen Qiu was blown away again several dozen yards.

However...

How could another blood mist explode next to them? The last Early Stage of Divinity Transformation had been killed by Chen Qiu in that last collision; now, there were only five of them, Peak of Divinity Transformations, left.

Of course—

The outcome was still quite impressive; Chen Qiu seemed more seriously injured, spitting yet another mouthful of blood.

The five Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and charged ferociously at him again!

"Boom!"

"..."

Chen Qiu was again blown away, while the remaining four Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators stood expressionlessly on the spot, watching the Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator being relentlessly punched while held in Chen Qiu's arms.

After hammering with a dozen punches

The Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator in Chen Qiu's arms also turned into a mist of blood.

From the original eight,

Now only four remained.

Even a fool would now realize something was wrong; why were they losing one person after every collision?

"No way!"

One of the Devil Clan Peak of Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivators, looking grim, gazed at the staggering Chen Qiu who seemed about to fall at any moment, and hoarsely said,"We need to call for reinforcements. We can't handle this alone. A body forged from trillions of merit values is more formidable than we imagined!"

"Fine."

Instantly, several of them crushed the Communication Tokens in their chests. They didn't approach immediately but hovered in the air, encircling Chen Qiu below.

They were not ready to strike again.

But they would not let Chen Qiu just escape. By this time, Chen Qiu was clearly severely injured; victory or defeat hinged on this one move. As long as reinforcements arrived, they would be able to completely devour Chen Qiu.
