Chapter 6, The Path of Evil

Although the Bone Daoist found it strange why the extremely proud ghost of the martial general had suddenly intervened to help, he still seized the opportunity. The Qingchi Cold Light Whip transformed into numerous green shadows, and with the assistance of the Black Armored Battle Soul, it pressed the Great Sun Dharma King down so that he could not raise his head.

The heavy presence of malevolent spirits suppressed the Buddha light of the Great Sun Dharma King. However, the Hundred Bones Daoist did not feel at ease. After obtaining the "Soul Seal Book," he understood that to cultivate more powerful dark arts, he needed to align with even more sinister, more formidable, and more ferocious spirits in order to have a chance of success.

As Kang Mingyu had just conceived this idea in his mind, he noticed that around him, there seemed to be countless shadowy spirits closing in.

Mother Doumu, return of the battle spirit. Capture!

These individuals are all inferior to the imposing general before them. Although he is no longer a stranger, the air of superiority and the demeanor that suggests "who else but me" instills a sense of trepidation in Kang Mingyu, making even the thought of resistance seem daunting

However, Kang Mingyu calmed his emotions and shouted loudly: "Since that's the case, then bring it on! Why all the fuss!"

The positioning and timing of this halberd were executed with perfect precision, and the waves of fierce energy emanating from the weapon were no less formidable than the fierce and domineering Green Flame Thunder Blade of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. The Great Sun Dharma King spat out a mouthful of blood

This person's martial skills are purely driven by the intent to kill, each movement exuding boundless elegance and splendor, yet simultaneously imposing a sense of world-destroying oppression. If Xiang Yu's martial prowess is characterized by dominance and fervor, this individual's skills embody destruction and silence. ... It does not bring even the slightest ... ! ... vitality !

Bai Gu Daoist was originally a scholar in his lifetime, known for his humorous nature and love for jokes. After transitioning to the path of cultivation, he remained true to his character, often creating countless bizarre tricks. It was by chance that he stumbled upon an ancient cultivation manual, "The Soul Seal Book," hidden in a deep mountain cave. This piqued his curiosity to the point where he could not resist, leading him to cultivate recklessly until he fell into madness, resulting in the shattering of his physical body

While the Bone Daoist exerted all his strength to suppress the Great Sun Dharma King, he also had to guard against the possibility of other ghostly soldiers launching a surprise attack on him. Despite having the upper hand, the Bone Daoist found it impossible to break through the protective purple flame surrounding the Great Sun Dharma King due to his divided attention.

A sudden thump in her heart made Kang Mingyu feel an inexplicable chill.

The intense vibrations emanating from the soles of his feet allowed Kang Mingyu to immediately gauge the formidable internal strength of the one before him. It was almost monstrous in nature

As the incantation was completed, the Bone Daoist let out a loud shout. The black-armored battle spirit, which had been quietly standing on the ground, emitted a piercing and furious howl, transforming into a rolling mass of black mist that surged towards the Bone Daoist.

However, Kang Mingyu knew that there might be chaotic troops lurking nearby, but such phenomena as those found at https://mhetushu.com would definitely not occur

Glancing at the battle situation in the Water Mirror Technique, Kang Mingyu suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with the ghost general wielding the Fangtianhua halberd. It was indeed one of the ghost generals he had fought against the previous night. Reflecting on the circumstances at that time, Kang Mingyu felt a deep sense of caution in his heart

After suffering a setback, the Great Sun Tathagata could not find a moment to recuperate from his internal injuries, and was suddenly at a disadvantage. The originally resplendent image of the Great Sun Tathagata also became dim and lackluster

Although the Baigu Daoist possessed profound skills and had just mastered the Doumu Xuanling Secret Spell, he did not dare to provoke its sharpness. With a loud shout, the Baigu Daoist released all the yin souls that had not been absorbed and refined by the battle spirits. The originally spacious tomb chamber was instantly filled to the brim with countless ghostly soldiers and generals.

Kang Mingyu has indeed encountered the abilities of the Great Sun Dharma King and the Hundred Bones Daoist, and has had some interactions with the seven great masters of the Daoist sect, even taking Dong Yizi, one of the three scattered immortals, as his teacher. In terms of martial arts, these individuals are far superior to him by countless degrees. However, when it comes to the overwhelming pressure they exert on others...

The Azure Flame Shadow Thunder Blade is far less effective against the Yin spirits than this remarkable technique of the gate

Having lurked for so long, it was all for this moment of ambush. The Great Sun Dharma King did not expect that this demon practitioner would be so vigilant and already prepared.

The old monk is quite impatient! I actually completed the Doumu Xuanying secret spell three days ago. However, in order not to disappoint you, I pretended to delay for a few days. I did not expect the old monk to be so unable to contain himself!

Wind, fire, thunder, lightning, sun, moon, stars, command

A mournful and chilling laugh echoed, and the opponent struck successfully, then retreated swiftly. This infuriated the Great Sun Dharma King, yet he found himself unable to spare the time to pursue the ambushing ghost general

The Hundred Bones Daoist said with a smile, "What a pity! What a pity! You have pursued me for so long, yet you still do not understand the character of this old Daoist. I truly feel ashamed to regard you as a lifelong confidant!"

Hello!

The Hundred Bones Daoist does not believe that his battle soul lacks power; rather, he simply does not wish to take this risk. If the original battle soul were to be shattered, all his hard work would be rendered completely futile

He has already been surrounded

The figure, once surrounded by countless restless souls, now completely lost the appearance of emptiness. A sense of overwhelming pressure from an unparalleled master continuously spread throughout the tomb chamber. On the walls of the tomb, numerous souls seemed to desperately try to avoid this aura emanating from the underworld, yet they were pinned to the walls by the spells of the Bone Elder, only able to wail and weep silently

A piercing whistle cut through the air, as a long weapon seemingly descended from the ethereal realms of the heavens, thud! With a sound echoing from m.hetushu.com, it struck the ground not far from Li Kangmingyu, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Kang Mingyu's ten fingers curled, and ten streaks of dark red sword light flickered unpredictably. He was not a fool; he certainly understood that if the other party had decided to eliminate him, there would be no need for such pointless talk. Since there was still room for negotiation, Kang Mingyu felt calm in his heart and immediately summoned his courage.

There are indeed such masters in the world

The ancient cultivator who compiled the "Soul Seal Book" believed that the human body and the soul are two distinct and unrelated entities. It is entirely possible to replace the human body with other substances, thereby eliminating the defects of bodily decay and achieving immortality.

The Great Sun Tathagata is the principal deity of the Vajrayana's Diamond Mandala and Womb Mandala. His power is boundless, and he is known as the supreme among all Buddhas

In a moment of haste, unable to catch his breath, the Great Sun Dharma King steeled himself and braced his spine to withstand this blow. The heart-wrenching, icy force transmitted from the Fangtian Huaji shattered the Great Sun Dharma King's protective true energy with a single strike

Kang Mingyu responded with a sound, performed a deep bow, and turned to walk away

Although besieged from all sides, the Great Sun Dharma King remained unafraid. The Great Sun Tathagata's protective aura caused all malevolent spirits to flee in disarray. Those unable to escape were instantly refined by the Buddha's light, emitting wisps of black smoke and mournful cries. The Great Sun Dharma King and the Hundred Bones Daoist each displayed their extraordinary abilities, battling fiercely until the sky darkened and the earth trembled, causing the originally solid tomb chamber to collapse continuously

The Great Sun Dharma King snorted coldly and said: "Not bad! Although I am not skilled in the unorthodox paths, I can still cultivate the external manifestation of my true self! You shall experience the power of my Great Sun Tathagata's true form!"

Dong Yizi waved slightly, calling Kang Mingyu over, and whispered: "In a moment, we will deal with these two great evildoers, and we may not be able to attend to you. You should go hide at a distance for now; I will call for you later."

Although he believed that his martial arts and magical abilities had improved significantly, and he had even experienced dealing with an army of evil spirits the previous night, Kang Mingyu still couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and turned to flee.

The Bone Daoist wielded the Qingchi Cold Light Whip, instantly stirring up a sky full of mist and cold waves. However, the Black Armored Battle Soul moved even faster than the Bone Daoist. Lacking a tangible body, the Black Armored Battle Soul was completely unbound by the laws of the void, covering several zhang in an instant. The long spear in hand stirred up gusts of wind, and in a moment, it had already enveloped the Great Sun Dharma King within its spear shadows

Scold!

Observing the faintly formed Buddha image behind the Great Sun Dharma King, the Hundred Bones Daoist could not help but be greatly astonished: "You have actually attained the supreme, ultimate Great Sun Tathagata body seal of Esoteric Buddhism!"

The secret incantation of the Doumu Xuanling is indeed extraordinary. You are able to use countless yin souls to condense into an external incarnation, which is even easier to achieve than my Vajrayana mantras. Truly, you are worthy of being the Hundred Bones Daoist among the Ten Demons of the World

At the most critical moment of his cultivation, the Bone Daoist suddenly heard a tremendous roar from above the tomb chamber! A beam of brilliant light burst through the ceiling, heading straight for the Bone Daoist.

Haha! Hahaha! The tyrant Xiang Yu and the ghostly god Lü Bu. These two generals' lingering souls cannot even be subdued by me. How does the King of Law feel about this?

The Great Sun Dharma King spoke in a calm tone, seemingly unperturbed.

Although they have faced each other multiple times, the Baigu Daoist always feels that he cannot grasp the true nature of this old bald donkey. Although it currently seems that he has the upper hand, the Baigu Daoist does not dare to let his guard down. This time, he has even resorted to his ultimate skills, attempting to defeat the Great Sun Dharma King in one fell swoop with the assistance of the battle spirit

After walking only three to five miles, Kang Mingyu saw a dazzling light behind him, accompanied by a thunderous roar. The sounds of battle echoed, reaching the clouds.

The way of heaven is resplendent, the sun and moon shine brightly, the five grains undergo their cycles, the six livestock thrive, the underworld is dimly lit, a hundred ghosts line up, the spirits of the mountains and rivers roam, and the yellow springs are in constant motion

The voice of the ghostly deity Lü Bu echoed, causing Kang Mingyu's heart to chill, and he secretly clenched a handful of cold sweat

Hi! Ha!

The battle spirit clad in black armor appeared even more eerie to Kang Mingyu than before. Its entire body was suffused with a deathly aura as thick as indelible ink. In its hand, it wielded a long spear, the dark spearhead gleaming with a strange sharpness

The attainment of the Great Sun Tathagata's body seal can summon the true form of the most powerful mantra of the Vajrayana, the Great Sun Tathagata. It can be said that its power is immeasurable, subduing all external paths and transcending all secret teachings.

With a furious shout from the Bone Daoist, the smoke transformed from the black-armored battle spirit seemed to possess a consciousness as it drilled into the Bone Daoist's brow. In an instant, the entire tomb chamber was filled with a dense, ominous energy, and the Bone Daoist's body radiated a strange, dark blue glow.

A certain Lü Bu! I have three thousand ghost generals and eighty thousand shadow soldiers here, all of whom are elite troops. Although they come from different eras and have varied behaviors, I believe it would not be too difficult to keep you, my young friend!

The Daoist of the Hundred Bones has a nature inclined towards remarkable deeds. He feels that what is described in the book about harmonizing the spleen and stomach is profound. Therefore, he not only refrains from destroying this "Book of Soul Imprints" as a work of heretical teachings, but also diligently studies the secret methods within it. Ultimately, he achieves significant accomplishments.

What perplexes him, however, is that these ancient fierce generals were mostly known for their irritable temper and disregard for others during their lifetimes. Even after death, their temperaments remain unchanged, making them extremely difficult to subdue. The most domineering among them is undoubtedly the ghost of the ancient overlord Xiang Yu. Yet, the most enigmatic is the so-called greatest warrior of the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, the ghostly figure of Lü Bu. The souls of these two are exceptionally powerful and unmatched, with martial skills that reach the heavens and penetrate the earth. No matter how high his magical abilities are, he ultimately finds himself helpless against the ghosts of these ancient fierce generals. The souls of these two are exceptionally powerful and unmatched, with martial skills that reach the heavens and penetrate the earth. No matter how high his magical abilities are, he ultimately finds himself helpless against the ghosts of these ancient fierce generals.

The Great Sun Dharma King let out a deep roar, and countless golden rays burst forth from his body. The Great Sun's purple flames erupted, simultaneously enduring the chilling light whip of the Azure Dragon and the boundless spear shadows. With a firm grip on the Immovable Root Seal, a brilliant sphere of light suddenly expanded fiercely at the chest of the Great Sun Dharma King

Kang Mingyu originally practiced the Chiyang talisman technique, which required the use of talismans to exert its power. However, after consecutive battles, he had long run out of yellow paper, making it impossible to draw talismans. In addition to this, the only technique he could rely on was the Red Flame Sword Light Technique he learned from the Great Sun King.

A faint mist, in the blink of an eye, has thickened to the point where one cannot see their hand in front of their face. The sound of footsteps, thud! thud!, comes in waves, as if countless soldiers in formation are preparing to charge.

This towering ghostly general wielding the Fangtianhua halberd possesses martial skills that likely surpass even those of the old Xiang. It would be wise for me not to provoke him

The pure Yang true fire illuminated the surroundings; although it had not yet dispelled the evil mist, it had already allowed Kang Mingyu to see the general situation around him. Upon closer inspection, Kang Mingyu was greatly startled, feeling quite astonished.

Despite being ridiculed by the Bone Daoist, the Great Sun King remained unfazed. Descending from the top of the tomb chamber, with the Vajra staff slung across his shoulder, the Great Sun King still appeared composed, showing no signs of embarrassment.

The Hundred Bones Daoist sits suspended in the void, his expression remains unchanged between yin and yang, smiling gently without a trace of anger. In recent days, he has been nearing the completion of the secret spell of the Mother of Mystical Spirits. Although there are still a large number of malevolent souls yet to be subdued, it has become inconsequential.

The Daoist of the Hundred Bones, who should have been in a state of extreme anxiety, surprisingly revealed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth. With a calm demeanor, he lowered his body to evade the opponent's sharp attack, raised his hand, and the Qingchi Cold Light Whip flashed out from his large sleeve like lightning. With a crisp sound of "pa!", it met the opponent's brilliant light head-on.

Because he discovered

Kang Mingyu, although deeply troubled by the Great Sun Dharma King's scheme to make him a scapegoat, ultimately did not wish to take action against this renowned and unparalleled master. Moreover, with the presence of the seven great masters of the Daoist sect, it was not his place to showcase his abilities.

The Daoist of the Hundred Bones had a ball of shadowy ghost fire erupting from his hand, which coincidentally collided with the black-armored battle spirit. The once surging black mist gradually shrank into a faint wisp of smoke, swirling around the Daoist of the Hundred Bones.

Kang Mingyu is not worried about the seven great masters of the Daoist sect; he is concerned about himself

In the midst of the chaotic battle, a beautifully adorned Fangtianhua halberd, accompanied by the eerie howls of spirits, suddenly rose to strike at the back of the Great Sun Dharma King. Just as he was exerting himself to fend off the cold light whip of the Hundred Bones Daoist, the Vajra staff forcefully pushed aside the black-armored warrior and the soul of the book. The Great Sun Dharma King did not anticipate such a formidable opponent hidden among the countless malevolent spirits.

This "Soul Seal Book" is a cultivation method from the pre-Qin period. The spells contained within are vastly different from those of the present-day Daoist sects. The main focus is on how to extract the human soul and use it as a means for cultivating spells.

Every time the army of vengeful spirits mobilizes, there are always countless scattered souls accompanying the already solidified ghostly soldiers and generals. However, what appeared around him were all armored and well-equipped vengeful spirits, with a clear display of weapons. The atmosphere was filled with a chilling and oppressive aura, numbering at least tens of thousands.

He thought to himself: "Do not say that there are so many people and horses; even if it were just you alone, I would not be able to win."

He felt quite regretful about why he had greedily sought out the tombs of ancient famous generals, attempting to summon these individuals who had been arrogant and unruly in life with boundless magical power. After the refinement of the Doumu Xuánlíng secret spell, these martial generals, who had already been fierce and irritable in life, were completely beyond his control. Even the battle souls that Baigudao Ren had gathered and refined did not dare to confront these ghostly generals head-on.

Kang Mingyu flicked his fingers, and a fireball soared into the air. This was the basic technique of the Crimson Flame Sword Light Art. Once the mental energy dispersed, the Pure Yang True Fire could no longer maintain its form as sword energy; although its power was not great, it was more than sufficient to illuminate the surroundings

Since he comes from a scholarly background, the Master of the Hundred Bones is well-versed in the Five Classics and the Seven Laws, as well as in historical texts and collections. He then turned his attention to the renowned generals and fierce spirits of ancient and modern times. After extensive investigation, he unearthed numerous ancient tombs and discovered the graves of more than ten ancient fierce generals

A vast and unparalleled Buddhist power surged forth, instantly repelling the cold light whip of the Hundred Bones Daoist.

Liexiezi stood still, a ball of brilliance in his hand, demonstrating the fierce underground battle to the seven people around him. The seven masters of the Daoist sect, using various secret techniques, quickly located the ancient tomb where Baigu Daoist practiced the secret spell of Doumu Xuansheng. Moreover, Liexiezi was using the Water Mirror Technique to observe the situation underground

It is those ghostly soldiers who have appeared

The Bone Daoist is currently in an ancient tomb, where the corpses that were originally buried have long been torn to pieces by countless restless spirits. The tomb chamber is indeed grand and spacious, measuring at least fifty paces from east to west. It is evident that the deceased was either wealthy or noble in life, perhaps even of royal lineage.

The dark energy surged behind the Bone Daoist, and the battle spirit appeared fiercely. The performance of the Great Sun Dharma King made the Bone Daoist feel a sense of foreboding. Their conflicts were not limited to just one; ever since the Bone Daoist's cultivation was disrupted by a disciple of the Great Sun Dharma King, he had killed countless disciples of the esoteric sect in anger, thus establishing a deep enmity with the Great Sun Dharma King. One can tell the extent of their animosity from the fact that the Great Sun Dharma King even abandoned his position as the Grand Master of the Great Yuan to pursue the Bone Daoist across thousands of miles.
