Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1324 - 568: Blood Sacrifice and Treasure Refining

"Good! I’ll use this blood to refine even more of the Restrictions within the Treasure. I’m going to completely master the Purple Gold Gourd!"

Li Yunjing controlled the Purple Gold Gourd to madly devour the Blood River Power. The ancient Runes on the gourd’s surface were stained blood-red, yet instead erupted with an even more terrifying suction.

This made him overjoyed.

One must know that refining such a heavy Treasure would normally require an extremely long time.

What Li Yunjing lacked most was time.

Now that he could draw upon external power and shorten that time, how could he not be pleased?

Blood Sacrifice was an important method for sacrificially refining Magical Treasures.

But how would Li Yunjing dare to use this method continuously?

How much blood did he himself even have?

As for using other people’s blood?

He was the Vice Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, one of the leaders of the Righteous Dao.

How could he possibly perform large-scale Blood Sacrifice?

Even when slaughtering Demon Beasts, he wouldn’t go so far as to create an entire Blood River.

Such things might be effective, but they sounded vile.

The face of a prestigious Righteous Sect was more important than anything. As a loyal Disciple of the Sect, Li Yunjing naturally thought wholeheartedly of the Sect’s reputation.

Now, in battle with the enemy, using the Blood River summoned by the enemy to temper his Treasures became a perfectly justified method.

Li Yunjing even secretly drew all of his Magical Treasures into the Purple Gold Gourd.

These Treasures were concealed within the Grotto Heaven world, with the Chaos Palace as the core, endlessly driving this blood to flow through each individual Treasure.

"How is this possible?"

"A Pocket World Treasure!"

The faces of the eleven Yin Marshals changed drastically. The Netherworld Blood River Grand Array on which they had staked their fame was actually flooding into the gourd like a breached dam, and even the resentful souls condensed within the formation were sucked in and ground to dust.

This left the eleven of them in near despair.

"We can’t let this continue!"

The leading Yin Marshal roared as he flung out his bone banner. The skeletal totems on the banner’s surface suddenly lit up, transforming into a pitch-black chain that coiled toward the gourd’s neck.

"Petty tricks!"

Li Yunjing’s Three Heads and Six Arms simultaneously formed Seals. The Five Elements Divine Fist blasted out, smashing the chain and sending it flying apart.

Seizing the opening, he closed in, the Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword wrapped in the Power of the Five Elements as it cleaved down, actually carving a foot-long gap in that bone banner that had been sacrificially refined for many years.

"This brat is too terrifying!"

Seeing this, the Yin Marshals’ livers and gall blanched. They hurriedly sent out their Lifebound Magical Treasures, attempting to break through.

"Dang—"

Yet at this moment, they were shaken by the sound waves of the Ancient Bronze Bell, their meridians running backwards. The black blood they spat out was laced with shattered bone.

"Today I’ll let you witness the might of the Shenxiao Daoist Skills!"

Lightning Seals formed at Li Yunjing’s fingertips, and a bowl-thick Thunderbolt suddenly exploded in his palm.

This was no ordinary Thunder Skill, but Chaos Divine Thunder formed by fusing the Five Elements Divine Thunder and Yin Yang Divine Thunder.

The gray, hazy Thunderbolt sizzled as it passed through the Yin Marshals’ bodies of black mist, forcing out smoke. Even their regenerative power was suppressed.

Seeing he was no match, the eleventh Yin Marshal suddenly bit through the tip of his tongue and spat Essence Blood. Corpse spots densely surfaced all over his body. "Let’s die together!"

His body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye—he was clearly about to unleash a self-detonation Forbidden Technique.

Li Yunjing’s pupils contracted. He swung the Heaven-Net to scoop up the man’s entire body, then flung him backhand toward a stone pillar of the Altar.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion shook the entire Ghostfiend Hall, and that blood-colored stone pillar snapped in response. The Netherworld aura within the cracks instantly became chaotic.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the remaining Yin Marshals actually abandoned their companions and scattered in flight.

How would Li Yunjing give them that chance?

The Death Rays fired by the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror clung like bone-eating canker, piercing through three Yin Marshals’ brows in an instant.

The All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp turned into a stream of light, chasing down the Yin Marshal who fled farthest. Its Purifying Fire burned him to ash.

In the span of barely a cup of tea, the twelve Yin Marshals had been slaughtered until only half remained.

"You—you, are you human or devil..."

The Yin Marshal leader curled up in a corner of the Altar. His bone banner was already tattered beyond use, his eyes filled with utter despair.

In the view of the Ghostfiend Hall, this ambush against the Shenxiao Dao Sect had an immense chance of success.

But only after truly crossing blows with the Shenxiao Dao Sect did they finally understand the gulf between a top-tier Sect and a colossal hegemonic Sect.

Li Yunjing stepped down, shattering the green bricks of the floor. The Cyan Dragon and White Tiger Dharma Protectors hovered about his body, and the crushing pressure nearly suffocated the six remaining Yin Marshals.

These six, who had slaughtered countless people, felt for the first time that Death was so close to them.

The leading Yin Marshal swung his banner, wishing to summon Netherworld Ghost Soldiers, but saw the Lightning Seal at Li Yunjing’s fingertips shift. The Chaos Divine Thunder transformed into a rain of swords that hacked the yet-unformed Ghost Soldiers into fine powder.

"There’s no escape."

Li Yunjing’s voice was icy. The suction of the Purple Gold Gourd and the sound waves of the Ancient Bronze Bell merged into a vortex, directly drawing two Yin Marshals into it. The Purifying Fire of the All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp followed close behind, instantly refining them into nothingness.

"Spare us, Daoist friend!"

The remaining four Yin Marshals’ livers and gall shattered. They knelt in unison and kowtowed. "We are willing to offer up a strand of Divine Sense. We beg Daoist friend to pity the difficulty of our cultivation!"

"Living is far more terrifying than Death. Killing you is a form of release."

Li Yunjing swept his hand back. The Yin Yang Treasure Mirror shot out two streaks of black light.

The pupils of the two Yin Marshals shrank sharply. In the mirror, they saw their own rotting hearts reflected. With miserable screams, they turned into drifting ash. The remaining two had just begun to dive into the earth when they were nailed to a blood-colored stone pillar by the Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword.

"Just... give us a quick end..."

The Yin Marshal leader trembled all over, staring wide-eyed as Li Yunjing drew out the Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword.

Chaos Sword Qi surged along the blade as he thrust out strand after strand of Chaos Sword Qi at them.

At the instant the Sword Qi pierced their brows, all the Yin Qi in the Ghostfiend Hall froze in place. The fragments of the twelve Yin Marshals’ bone banners erupted in shrill wails in midair, and in the end were dispersed into nothing by the Purifying Light.
