Li Yunjing was surrounded by four Golden Core Elders and hundreds of cultivators. He fought back, shattering his Five Elements Shield and spitting blood. Just as his enemies thought they had him, Li Yunjing unleashed the Myriad Poison Banner, engulfing the area in a deadly green mist. The poison rapidly dissolved the cultivators and even the Elders, leaving behind only a pool of sludge and scraps of clothing.

Moreover, when striking, it usually targets high-level cultivators, seldom slaughtering lower-level ones.

Now witnessing the grim scene of using the "Myriad Poison Banner," even Li Yunjing himself furrowed his brow, secretly regretting if he had been too ruthless?

Hundreds of Demon Cultivators, after all, were still from the Human Race, dying in agony, their bodies not even intact. Should this be?

Li Yunjing looked again at the tragic sight at the altar!

At least a hundred thousand cultivators were killed!

His actions seemed like small deeds compared to those of the "Demon Control Sect," more like a minor conjuring before a grand wizard?

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing’s heart turned cold once more, the "Myriad Poison Banner" shook, and the poisonous smoke had already spread to a thousand feet!

Amidst the poison fog, taking advantage of the obstructed vision, Li Yunjing seized the opportunity to employ the "Thunder Escape Technique," rushing towards the altar.

Once the "Soul-Calming Nail" on the altar is destroyed, and the power of the blood sacrifice lost, the strength of the Island Protection Array can be broken, causing significant damage to the "Demon Control Sect" and securing more time for the three Supreme Elders outside.

The poison fog churned like ink, as Li Yunjing sprinted through the corpses and seas of blood, using the blue glow of the "Thunder Escape Technique," while the "Myriad Poison Banner" in his hand continued to buzz, seemingly craving more nourishing souls.

Slashing through all enemies along the way, Li Yunjing forcefully suppressed the wickedness of the magical treasure, his gaze fixed on the central "Soul-Calming Pillar" towering a hundred feet tall.

The pillar was engraved with densely inscribed curse seals, its top embedded with a blood-colored treasure bead, continuously absorbing the essence blood of the cultivators pinned by the "Soul-Calming Nail."

"Five Elements Divine Thunder!"

"Yin Yang Divine Thunder!"

"Chaos Divine Thunder!"

"Destruction Divine Thunder!"

"Purple Sky Divine Thunder!"

Li Yunjing shouted fiercely, connecting the "Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal" to the Sea of Consciousness, once again summoning the power of the Thunder Sea, transforming his entire body into a streak of lightning, smashing towards the Soul-Calming Pillar.

"Boom!"

The terrifying thunder light exploded, nearly utilizing the full strength of Li Yunjing.

The entire "Black Reef Island" seemed to quiver slightly.

Outside, Yu Mozi and the two Supreme Elders were startled, realizing something had happened inside the sect.

Their hearts sank, intending to retreat, but were blocked by the trio of Master Lei Ze, Nine Netherworld Master, and Peak Master Alchemy Tripod, unable to advance or retreat.

With the sound of "crack," many "Soul-Calming Nails" shattered on the altar, and those bodies fell down.

The blood light atop the altar trembled immediately, appearing less stable.

"Not good, this is the backlash of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array!"

Li Yunjing felt a chilling cold infiltrating his heart along his meridians, countless distorted faces appearing before his eyes.

All were the resentful souls of cultivators nailed by the Soul-Calming Nails.

He bit his tongue, using his essence blood to illuminate the "All-Encompassing Lotus Lamp," releasing the Purifying Light.

"Sizzle..."

These resentful souls were enveloped in the Purifying Light, emitting painful distortions.

Yet after a moment, they seemed to regain a hint of spiritual sense, bowed to Li Yunjing, and then dissipated into the world.

As for whether they found rebirth?

This was beyond Li Yunjing’s knowledge.

His realm was ultimately too low, unable to fathom the mysteries of life and death, naturally lacking the ability to understand the matters of the Land of the Nine Netherworld.

Taking this opportunity, he leapt onto the "Soul-Calming Pillar," wielding the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword," striking at the top blood-colored treasure bead.

"Boom!"

The moment the treasure bead shattered, the altar ground cracked into cobweb-like fissures, and a ghostly wail-like rumble emanated from beneath.

Li Yunjing glimpsed as hundreds of blood beads floated in the black slurry surging within the splits.

It turned out that the "Demon Control Sect" had been nourishing these Demon Dao seeds with living blood sacrifices for many years!

"What an evil sect! Today, I must annihilate your entire clan!"

His murderous intent grew stronger, fingers forming a fire spell, "Samadhi True Fire" rose from his palm, sweeping towards the blood beads falling into the cracks.

"Ah! You filthy vermin of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ how dare you..."

A sudden roar came from behind the altar, as an elder in a black robe soared through the air, shaking a copper bell in his hand, countless talisman seals emerged from the void, transforming into a blade array overshadowing the sky, slashing towards Li Yunjing.

This person was the third elder of the "Demon Control Sect," "Heart Poison Old Monster," whose cultivation had reached the Peak of Golden Core, just one step away from the Nascent Soul.

Seeing Li Yunjing destroy over ten thousand years of the "Demon Control Sect’s" efforts, how could he not be furious?

"Old fool! I’ll kill you too!"

Li Yunjing didn’t dodge, instead reversing the grip on the "Myriad Poison Banner," colliding poison smoke with the blade array, immediately bursting into blinding purple light, condensing mid-air into a toxic crystal skull.

"Do you think this mere poison smoke can harm me, old man?"

Heart Poison Old Monster sneered, flicking three emerald elixir pills with his fingers, "These are the Divine Pills refined by me, specifically designed to counter Poison Cultivators!"

Before the words were finished, Li Yunjing suddenly revealed a bizarre smile, numerous elixirs appeared amidst the poison smoke.

"Boom!"

The elixirs mixed within the poison smoke flew towards the person, and even before approaching, exploded suddenly, transforming into terrifying power, blasting onto the individual.

"Your... elixirs can explode..."

Heart Poison Old Monster’s eyes widened, witnessing the force piercing through his chest, black blood surging from his throat.

These elixirs were little gadgets given to Li Yunjing by Peak Master Alchemy Tripod!

This attack method, unexpected, stealthily hidden within the poison smoke, proved devastating, severely injuring this Demon Dao master instantly.

"Those who kill must die by the blade!"

Li Yunjing did not respond, instead kicking the elder’s chest, sending him into the blood pool.

Nearly instantly, the person’s body was shredded into powder, transformed into wisps of blood mist, completely perished, without even the Golden Core flying away.
