Chapter 165 Taking Action

That malevolent and terrifying demonic thought, without the suppression of the Inheritance Hall, or more precisely, without the suppression of the Inheritance Thunder Talisman,

After the outburst, they immediately rushed towards the direction with the most cultivators.

The first few Foundation Establishment cultivators felt as if their souls had fallen into an ice cave, and their magical shields were torn apart by the viscous black tide as if they were thin paper.

The demonic thoughts, like a malignant sore, burrowed into the seven orifices, causing the cultivator's body to tremble violently. The whites of his eyes were stained with ink, and the light in his pupils was completely extinguished like a candle flickering in the wind.

The five figures stood frozen in place like puppets whose strings had been removed.

And that's not terrifying enough.

In the very next moment,

At the core of the demonic thought, a flash of eerie light burst forth, and eight jet-black demonic seeds, wreathed in purple patterns, pierced the cultivator's crown chakra with pinpoint accuracy, like venomous snakes.

The three bodies lay limp on the ground like mud, their life essence and soul power completely drained, and the demonic seed's invasion had failed.

The other five bodies, however, strangely straightened up again, their joints making a rough, crisp sound as they twisted.

When the empty eye sockets ignite with abyssal black flames,

Those stiff arm movements seemed to be either an attempt to familiarize themselves with their new body or a reflection on having a physical form again after so long.

Of the eight demonic seeds, five successfully invaded the cultivator's soul!

This scene filled those around the cultivators with even greater fear.

Those present were all insightful cultivators; they all knew that in that brief instant,

The souls of these fellow Daoists have been destroyed, and five more have been successfully possessed by powerful demonic thoughts!

A chill ran down everyone's spine. They used all their life-saving techniques to escape desperately, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be engulfed by the black demonic thought and their souls would be destroyed.

At that moment, Ji Wuchen drank the Azure Thunder Brew, transformed into lightning, and shot out from the shadows with a beam of light.

The young monk silently recited the Sanskrit Golden Light Mantra, and his body was covered in a layer of golden light. Although the demonic thought was powerful, it inherently abhorred the Buddhist golden light.

Wherever the little monk walked, lotus blossoms appeared with every step, and demonic thoughts automatically parted to create a path.

He used his left hand to unleash a sword escape technique, tearing a sliver of sword light in the air as he fled quickly.

The Qi Kingdom's prodigies also withdrew.

Currently, most of the powerful prodigies who manage to stay away from crowds have not been the primary targets of demonic thoughts.

That demonic thought wasn't stupid; it knew that it would be troublesome to devour and possess these highly talented cultivators in a short period of time.

It specifically targets weak cultivators.

In just a few dozen breaths

The demonic energy covering an area of ​​several miles had dispersed nearly a hundred demonic seeds, which then quietly disappeared.

Apart from the initial few Foundation Establishment cultivators who were implanted with demonic seeds and needed to familiarize themselves with their physical bodies, move around, and be marked as cultivators, the rest...

The cultivators who were later implanted with the demonic seed could no longer be identified by their appearance.

Chen Yi, accompanied by three women, was quite a target.

As he fled rapidly toward the exit of the secret realm, he was also targeted by a powerful demonic force.

The three women were now extremely depleted of their spiritual energy and magical power, with Ning Bu'er suffering severe injuries to her soul and practically no fighting ability.

At this point, they could only hope that Chen Yi would escape quickly.

In the air, Chen Yi saw the demonic thought fixated on his group and sneered.

A lightning crystal appeared on his right index finger, which he flicked towards the rapidly approaching demonic thought.

The lightning crystal shot out like lightning.

It accurately struck the oncoming demonic thought, and the contained purple lightning soul thunder power erupted with a deafening roar.

The demonic thought howled in pain, its momentum drastically reduced, and it was forcibly forced back and defeated. It immediately dared not pursue Chen Yi any further.

Even in the demonic gaze directed at Chen Yi, there was a rare hint of fear; this boy actually possessed thunderous methods that instilled dread in him.

At this moment, the scene was extremely chaotic, with cultivators scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Chen Yi, dragging the three women along, used his movement technique to escape, making him one of the fastest members of the group.

He surpassed many Foundation Establishment cultivators, calmly watching as these cultivators were killed and possessed by demonic thoughts, without any intention of stopping to save them.

In the blink of an eye, he led the three women to the front line of the escape.

On the contrary, Ji Wuchen, Linghui the little monk, and others who left first stopped after escaping and chose to use the thunder spirit techniques they learned in the Inheritance Hall to try their best to kill a portion of the demonic thoughts.

The three women being carried by Chen Yi also repeatedly urged him to stop along the way.

They wanted to come down and fight; so many cultivators were being hunted and slaughtered on a large scale by demonic forces.

As successors of the Thunder Soul Sect, the three of them had an obligation to kill the demonic thoughts here.

However, Chen Yi didn't say a word, and in a very short time, he sent the three of them to the safe area at the exit of the secret realm.

"You are currently out of combat readiness. Go out and report to the division commander so they can come and take charge. I'll be right back."

After putting the three women down, Chen Yi turned around and went back.

His Crimson Flame Sparrow and Treasure-Seeking Rat are still in the secret realm; he needs to bring them out.

According to the connection between the master and pet in his soul, the moment the demonic thoughts in the secret realm erupted, Chen Yi ordered the two of them to hide on the spot, use the concealment technique, not expose themselves, and wait for Chen Yi to rescue them.

When Chen Yi arrived deep within the Medicine Valley, his divine sense swept over the ancient tree cave where the Crimson Flame Sparrow was hiding.

Dozens of dark, twisted demonic thoughts gnawed at the weak barrier around the tree hole. The Crimson Flame Sparrow huddled deep within the tree's heart, trembling. Wisps of black energy seeped from its feathers, barely holding on thanks to the lightning crystal technique Chen Yi had previously planted.

Upon seeing Chen Yi arrive,

Those demonic thoughts, like hungry wolves seeing fresh prey, instantly turned towards Chen Yi, and rushed towards him with violent, crazy, and desperate filthy thoughts!

Seeing that no one else was watching from within several miles, Chen Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

A burst of azure-purple wind and lightning light erupted from his body, and as the light flowed, seventy-two lightning crystals appeared and disappeared at the nodes of the wind and lightning trajectory.

Echoing the thunder spirit runes floating between his internal organs, they instantly formed a thunderous killing array covering ten zhang!

Deep within his soul, the divine soul thunder whip, interwoven with five colors—purple, blue, red, and gold—awakened like a dormant dragon, its fine thunder patterns shimmering and flickering like scales on the whip's body.

Suddenly, blinding flashes of lightning erupted in the valley, and Chen Yi's figure transformed into nine afterimages of wind and thunder, flashing and weaving.

Wherever it passed, the lightning net twisted like a net from heaven, and the black demonic thoughts dissipated and vanished like boiling water poured on snow amidst the shrill screams.

Amidst fear and piercing screams,

The remaining three demonic thoughts transformed into thin black smoke and burrowed into the crack in the ground. Chen Yi's brow blazed with five-colored divine light.

The Soul-Destroying Thunder Whip tore through space, its tip instantly exploding into a shower of soul-destroying thunder and fire that struck the fleeing demonic shadow.

The black smoke didn't even have time to utter a scream before it was completely vaporized by the annihilating power of the soul thunder.

He reached out and pulled out the half-conscious Crimson Flame Sparrow. The golden eyes of the demonic bird were now clouded with gray, and the demonic seed lurking deep within its soul was spewing out filthy black silk.

Chen Yi's five-colored divine senses forcefully penetrated its ancestral aperture, and the thunder whip pierced straight into the darkest corner of the demon soul.

"Sizzle—!"

A burst of purple-gold lightning erupted from the whip tip, and the demonic seed covered in eerie runes instantly carbonized and disintegrated.

The pure, unowned soul energy overflowed like a clear spring, slowly nourishing the nearly depleted essence of the Crimson Flame Sparrow's demon soul.

"Master, thank you, Master." The Crimson Flame Sparrow regained some of its senses and looked at Chen Yi with endless gratitude in its eyes.

Chen Yi was also trying out the Five-Colored Thunder Whip for the first time and found that it was incredibly effective at dealing with these petty demonic thoughts.

The Thunder Soul Sect's techniques are indeed unique in their ability to counter demonic souls and ghost cultivators.

Chen Yi has not yet truly cultivated the [Purple Lightning Soul-Nourishing Technique], nor has he learned the techniques and supernatural abilities related to soul lightning within it.

With just this wisp of divine thought that had been sublimated along with Qin Chengcheng in the Thunder Talisman Inheritance Space, he was able to wreak havoc on all sides.

Chen Yi put the Crimson Flame Sparrow into his storage bag, and his body lit up with Wind and Thunder Escape again before heading to retrieve the Treasure-Seeking Rat.

On the way,

Three cultivators heading towards the exit of the secret realm were passing by Chen Yi when they suddenly attacked from a distance.

The three formed a triangular formation; when the attack erupted, a black demonic eye shone in each of their eyes.

He unleashed three malevolent thoughts, which entangled Chen Yi.

"I didn't come looking for you, but you came looking for me."

Chen Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the wind and thunder escape light exploded!

The seventy-two lightning crystals that appeared and disappeared around his body swirled endlessly, instantly connecting with the lightning spirit runes in his internal organs to form a net, and the lightning strike killing array covering ten feet was activated fiercely.

His figure flashed like purple lightning, tearing through a hundred feet in an instant.

The viscous demonic energy surrounding the demonized cultivator had not yet gathered before it was crushed into black smoke and dissipated by the violent lightning energy carried by the Wind and Thunder Escape technique.

Chen Yiyu's right fist struck like a meteor, the air solidifying wherever it passed.

"Bang!"

The cultivator's body cracked inch by inch like a terracotta figurine, with fragments of his internal organs mixed with bone dust spraying out from his back, splashing a crimson stain over ten feet onto the rock wall.

At the level of the soul, a five-colored lightning whip emerged like a poisonous dragon from its lair.

The purple-gold arc of light that exploded from the whip tip precisely pierced the skull cavity. The demonic seed shrieked and manifested eerie runes in an attempt to escape, but was tightly bound by the four-colored chains of cyan, blue, red, and gold that flowed along the whip's body.

"Sizzle"

The sound completely vaporized that wisp of ancient demonic thought.

Their steps did not falter, and thunder and lightning flashed once more!

The second demonic cultivator's filthy black shield, activated by a panicked hand seal, was pierced through by the Jade Bone Fist's energy as easily as paper.

The instant the fist struck the chest, the Thunderfire Golden Crystal exploded within the bone cavity, and the crimson golden energy stream that passed through the body pulverized the spine.

The five-colored lightning whip pierced through his crown chakra.

The third demonic cultivator's eyes blazed with demonic flames, and his hands transformed into Nine Yin Demonic Claws, tearing towards Chen Yi's back—but instead grabbed the suddenly solidified Wind and Thunder Shield, splashing up blinding sparks.

Without turning his head, Chen Yi lashed out with his whip like a thunderclap, the sharp metal light bursting from the end of the whip cutting it in half!

As the three mangled bodies crashed to the ground, the charred demonic blood on the ground was still sizzling.

From the moment the wind and thunder raged until the demonic energy dissipated, it was less than a breath.

Chen Yi reached out and grabbed the three people's storage bags.

It continued to fly forward.

As the three demonic seeds were destroyed, in the air,

Four powerful demonic thoughts, each at the third level of soul power, locked onto Chen Yi's direction and attacked him.

He had already devoured enough low-level cultivators' demonic thoughts; now he needed several high-quality "cultivator puppets" to possess.

Seeing Chen Yi turn back against the flow of traffic, they naturally set their sights on him.

Chen Yi felt no fear.

Previously, on the fourth floor of the Inheritance Hall, although he said he was unwilling to swear an oath and did not want to accept the karma of the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance,

However, he did devour seventy percent of the spiritual essence of the inherited thunder talisman.

It can be said that, apart from some special techniques of the Thunder Soul Sect and the subsequent coordinates of the treasure vault space,

Chen Yi obtained the greatest benefit of the Thunder Soul Sect's inherited Thunder Talisman.

In terms of facts and cause and effect, he was indeed contaminated.

Otherwise, the ones standing here to vanquish the demons should be Qiu Li, Qin Chengcheng, and Ning Bu'er.

In this world of immense power, Chen Yi, though not having sworn an oath, was unwilling to incur too many favors.

Otherwise, it may affect mental clarity and create hidden dangers within the mind.

When the crucial moment of forming the Golden Core or the Nascent Soul arrives in the future, those causes and effects may manifest and become entangled, becoming obstacles on the path of cultivation.

Chen Yi decided to do his part to keep the situation under control, at least until a Nascent Soul cultivator intervened.

Faced with several powerful demonic thoughts attacking,

Chen Yi remained silent and calm, but the lightning around him shone even brighter.

As those powerful demonic thoughts approached,

Chen Yi instantly sprang to his feet.

Amidst the explosions of wind and thunder, his figure transformed into a raging purple lightning dragon, charging forward with ferocious force.

A burst of lightning flashed from the Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, instantly obliterating a demonic attack.

After closing in, Chen Yi unleashed what appeared to be his absolute limit punch.

However, he only unleashed the power of three lightning crystals, using the power of someone newly entering the quasi-third rank, to slap the demonic thought away.

"Insects, stop struggling and obediently submit to us!"

Seeing that Chen Yi's strength was not so great, the other three demonic thoughts released their evil intentions to corrupt Chen Yi's mind.

Then, the three demonic entities roared and pounced, while the demonic entity that Chen Yi had repelled also surged forward, eager to seize the advantage.

Countless filthy demonic forces condensed into hundreds of thick black ropes that coiled around Chen Yi's vital points.

Just as the black rope touched the wind and thunder escape light—Chen Yi suddenly withdrew his protective lightning aura!

Three demonic thoughts, like a swarm of blood-sniffing sharks, rushed toward the ancestral aperture.

When the demonic claw was only three inches away from the center of the forehead...

"boom!"

The Three-Zhang Thunder Strike Killing Formation suddenly erupted!

Sixty-three thunder spirit runes lit up simultaneously, and seventy-two thunder crystals connected in the void to form a net of lightning, imprisoning the four demonic thoughts in a cage of thunder.

Just as the demonic thought realized it had fallen into a trap, Chen Yi's ancestral aperture burst forth with five-colored divine light, and five-colored thunder whips of purple, blue, red and gold were fiercely manifested!

The whip, wrapped with chains of soul lightning, hummed and vibrated, while the four elements converged at its tip to form a vortex of destruction.

The next moment, Chen Yi's wind and thunder escape light suddenly surged, instantly expanding from a protective spiritual aura into a purple lightning cage covering three zhang!

As the light flowed, it not only encompassed the four demonic thoughts, but also perfectly continued the sealing of the Thunderstrike Killing Array.

Before the four third-tier demonic thoughts could recover from the impact of the thunder cage, the soul of the living person was already within arm's reach.

Driven by an insatiable urge to devour, the four twisted demonic shadows surged forward, transforming into murky black smoke and frantically drilling into Chen Yi's ancestral aperture!

Just as the demonic thoughts and claws at the very tip touched the sea of ​​souls,

"Sizzle—!!!!"

Deep within Chen Yi's ancestral aperture, five thunderclouds suddenly converged into one!

A purple soul lightning bolt, containing the annihilation power of a peak mid-stage third-order cultivator, cleaved vertically from between his brows!

The demonic thought charging at the forefront didn't even have time to let out a scream.

The shadowy figure cracked and carbonized inch by inch within the pillar of soul lightning, and the demonic seed core covered with evil runes instantly disintegrated into nothingness and completely vaporized!

The pure yet unclaimed soul energy overflowed like a clear spring.

The three demonic thoughts behind them were terrified and twisted wildly, trying to tear through the wind and lightning to escape.

"Crack!"

The lightning crystal array that had been lying in wait inside the Wind and Thunder Escape Light suddenly detonated!

The fine lightning bolts were like the bites of venomous snakes, tearing off large chunks of filthy demonic thoughts with each touch, and emitting a pungent, burnt stench as the black smoke dissipated.

In the instant their formation crumbled from the scorching heat of the lightning,

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep within Chen Yi's soul origin, three slightly weaker but equally deadly pale purple soul lightning bolts erupted once more!

The purple-gold arc of light precisely pierced through the three churning, struggling demonic shadows.

The lightning and fire that exploded from the tip of the whip were pure and violent, and the filthy demonic thoughts were repeatedly burned and refined as if they were thrown into the furnace of heaven and earth.

The evil rune chains shattered, and the viscous demonic energy vanished into thin air.

Within two breaths, the four third-tier demonic thoughts turned into green smoke!

The pure essence of their souls that spilled out after their collapse was quietly devoured, digested, and decomposed by Chen Yi using the power of the system.

The strands transformed into warm, unowned soul power, like gentle rain and dew, slowly nourishing the divine soul essence he had just violently depleted.

Chen Yi paused briefly, stood still in the air, and looked at several familiar figures entangled by powerful demonic thoughts several miles away.

Ji Wuchen, Ling Hui, and Zuo Shouqing

Chen Yi never expected that, in the moment of crisis, those standing at the front line would be several prodigies from the Central Plains.

As for the proud talents of Qi, those who could escape had already fled, and those who couldn't escape were likely in grave danger.

Chen Yi sensed the situation and discovered that the treasure-hunting rat was trembling and hiding in the underground soil where they were fighting.

For demonic thoughts, physical mountains and rivers cannot hinder them. The treasure-hunting rat barely protects itself with a lightning crystal it spits out of its mouth, but it cannot last long.

Chen Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and the wind and thunder escape light exploded!

His body was surrounded by bluish-purple lightning that moved like fireflies, and seventy-two lightning crystals flickered in and out of the path of his escape light, creating a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

His figure transformed into a bluish-purple afterimage that tore through the air, creating ripples of wind and thunder wherever he passed, instantly traversing a distance of a hundred feet.

Just as he approached the battlefield, Chen Yi deliberately slowed down, revealing the rugged physique of the bald strongman, and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoists of Central Plains, do not panic! I, Xu, have come to provide support on the orders of Fairy Qiu, a successor of the Thunder Soul Sect, and others!"

"You mere demonic souls, how dare you be so arrogant! I am a lackey of the Thunder Soul Sect's disciple, and today I will be the vanguard to annihilate you!"
