Eternal Life by Daily Divination

This was the first time the Netherworld Evil Domain had been shattered by force.

As a result, the Evil Soul’s aura weakened slightly.

With a grim look on his face, the Evil Soul pointed from afar, once again condensing the Netherworld Evil Domain to trap the few fleeing Murong Kangs.

But a few of the Murong Kangs still managed to escape.

However, before they could get far, the Cyan Wood Divine Light caught up and shattered them one by one.

’It’s not any of them.’

Li Chang’an looked towards the Netherworld Evil Domain.

The real Murong Kang, as luck would have it, was once again trapped inside the Netherworld Evil Domain.

His face was savage, his eyes bloodshot. A fire of blood blazed across his body as he once again gathered an astonishing power and shattered the Netherworld Evil Domain.

In that very instant, a Sword Array slammed into him.

BOOM!

Murong Kang exploded again, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

His other clones were also destroyed by Li Chang’an’s Cyan Wood Divine Light.

But when he reappeared, his face was ashen. His aura had plummeted, and a hint of despair crept into his eyes.

In order to break the two Netherworld Evil Domains, he had burned almost all his lifespan, but still failed to escape.

’If this goes on,’ he thought, ’I’m certain to die here today.’

At this thought, a ruthless expression crossed Murong Kang’s face.

Spiritual Light flashed in his hand, revealing a Jade Scroll. He gripped it tightly and roared.

”Li Chang’an! If you dare to kill me, I’ll destroy this Great Demon Technique! You’ll never get your hands on it!”

”What would I want the Demon Planting Technique for?”

Li Chang’an’s expression was calm, unfazed by the threat.

”Murong Kang, I’ve gotten this far on my own fortunes. I couldn’t care less about your so-called Demon Planting Technique!”

”You...”

Murong Kang’s expression froze. He found this impossible to accept.

’The Demon Planting Technique I treasure so dearly... in Li Chang’an’s mouth, it’s no different from trash on the street.’

He knew that for someone like Li Chang’an, with the meager talent of a Low Grade Spirit Root, to have come this far, he must have stumbled upon a fortune far greater than the Demon Planting Technique.

So Li Chang’an most likely genuinely didn’t care about the Demon Planting Technique.

Just then, another brilliant Sword Array flew out and slammed into him in an instant.

BOOM!

Murong Kang exploded once more, and the Jade Scroll in his hand fell from the air.

With a beckoning gesture, Li Chang’an drew the Jade Scroll into his hand.

’This Great Demon Technique is, after all, a Magic Gate that bypasses the need for a good Spiritual Root. It’s worth a look. Best to get my hands on it if I can.’

A moment later, Murong Kang reappeared, his aura plummeting yet again.

The despair on his face deepened. A fire of blood ignited across his body once more as he tried to burn what little lifespan he had left, seeking a sliver of a chance to escape.

But before he could escape, another Sword Array attacked.

After a few more Sword Arrays, Murong Kang’s body completely exploded into a cloud of blood mist, never to reappear again.

”Soul Comes!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and beckoned.

Murong Kang’s Soul, its face filled with terror, appeared beside the cloud of blood mist.

The Soul clearly sensed the aura of the Reincarnation Path and was about to enter it, but it flew uncontrollably toward Li Chang’an’s Venerable Soul Banner.

”No——”

Desperate and resentful, it roared before being pulled into the Soul Banner.

”Li Chang’an, you’ll come to a bad end!”

The moment it finished roaring, it was sucked into the Soul Banner.

The Evil Soul couldn’t wait. It eagerly entered the Soul Banner and began to torture Murong Kang’s Soul.

”Heh heh heh, you’ve got some skills, kid. Shattering my Netherworld Evil Domain twice... Looks like I’ll have to teach you a proper lesson.”

Not long after, Murong Kang’s miserable wails echoed from within the Soul Banner.

Li Chang’an didn’t intervene, letting the Evil Soul have its fun.

He turned his attention to the two Golden Core Puppets that had been under Murong Kang’s control.

Though Murong Kang was dead, the Blood Seed within the Puppets’ bodies still contained a wisp of his Divine Sense.

”Golden Soul Sword!”

Li Chang’an activated a Divine Sense Technique, forming two small golden swords that annihilated the lingering wisp of Divine Sense.

At the same time, his puppet body back on Changqing Mountain sprang into action, slaughtering every last Blood Seed Puppet at the base of the mountain.

’It’s a pity I can’t expel the Blood Seed. Otherwise, I could have refined these two Golden Core Cultivators into my own Puppets.’

Li Chang’an raised his hand and sent out a Sword Qi, slicing open the body of one of the Golden Core Cultivators.

One could see that within its flesh and bone, there were countless, dense bloodlines.

With Murong Kang’s Divine Sense destroyed, the Blood Seed had lost control and was now frantically devouring all the Puppet’s remaining life force.

In the end, it would probably turn into a flesh-and-blood monster.

Li Chang’an didn’t let it grow.

He threw out dozens of Talismans, incinerating the bodies of the two Golden Core Cultivators to ash.

He then flickered, appearing before Pang Xuan in an instant.

At this moment, Pang Xuan was desperately fending off three Puppets.

Seeing Li Chang’an arrive, his eyelids twitched, and he managed to force a smile.

”Li Chang’an—no... Daoist Li! Elder Li! I never intended to move against you. I was only invited by Murong Kang to help him deal with his senior martial brother.”

Li Chang’an remained silent, simply raising his hand to unleash a Sword Array.

Before long, Pang Xuan was also blown to pieces, dissolving into a shower of blood in mid-air.

The Yin Soul Sect was a Sub-Sect of a Nascent Soul Demon Sect, so Li Chang’an had no intention of refining him into a Puppet. Killing him was the most straightforward solution.

With a flicker of his body, he collected the Array Materials from the area and erased all traces of the battle, including any lingering auras.

After finishing all this, Li Chang’an transformed into a streak of light and returned to Changqing Mountain.

’This battle went more or less as I expected. It looked easy, but the cost was significant. The Puppets I deployed all suffered varying degrees of damage; I’ll have to repair them properly when I get back. Besides, Murong Kang’s strength was truly considerable, to be able to shatter the Netherworld Evil Domain twice in a row.’
