Chapter 391: Undead Monster, Incantation

Jiang Changsheng used the divine power of the Eye of the Great Dao to cover the Soul Skeleton Emperor and read her memories.
At first, the Soul Skeleton Empress was still resisting, but she fell silent not long after.
Jiang Changsheng’s consciousness fell into an endless vortex of memories.
Massacre!
Massacre!
It was all memories of massacres!
The Soul Skeleton Emperor was either on the road to killing someone or killing someone. She was extremely old, and she did not know how many mounts she had changed. Therefore, she could abandon her mount without hesitation in battle.
The memories of the Soul Skeleton Empress were too huge, and Jiang Changsheng could not completely read them in a short period of time. He could only try his best to skip over the killing and trace back to the source of her memories.
After a long time, Jiang Changsheng finally passed through the blood-colored memories and arrived at the source.
In a blood-colored sky, countless meteorites from outer space smashed into a world with thick smoke. The vast and boundless city was smashed into pieces. Smoke rose everywhere and flames flickered. Countless shouts and cries resounded between heaven and earth.
On a mountaintop, a white-robed woman was meditating to recuperate. Her pure white robes were stained with blood. Her appearance was devastatingly beautiful, and even though her long hair was somewhat messy, she did not seem to be in a sorry state.
An armored man appeared by her side and shouted, “Run! The world has fallen. We can’t stop it!”
The white-robed woman opened her eyes and frowned. “Brother, the three thousand worlds are filled with war. Escape? Where to?”
The armored man forcefully pulled her up and pushed her. He angrily said, “Let’s talk about it after you escape. Don’t forget my expectations for you! You are the last hope of Tian Xu! Go find the Divine Martial Realm!”
With that said, he punched upwards, creating a black hole in the space above their heads. Rolling black gas dissipated like a vortex, sweeping up the weeds and gravel on the cliff.
The white-robed woman looked at the armored man and their eyes met.
The armored man’s eyes were bloodshot. He waved his hand and turned to rush to the end of the horizon before quickly disappearing. Even though he had left, his voice floated over.
“Little sister, I’m sorry. We can no longer protect you in the future. From now on, you have to face the future alone. If you can’t hold on, give up. We will wait for you down there.”
The white-robed woman was not stubborn. She immediately leaped up and entered the black hole. The black hole shrunk and disappeared.
Under the resplendent starry sky, in a plaza, a white-robed woman and four men half-knelt side by side. Standing in front of them was an old man in a Daoist robe. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and had white hair but a youthful complexion. He looked like a sage.
“With the arrival of the great calamity, more than half of the three thousand worlds have fallen. The Martial Dao is in a hopeless situation. I will fight against the Devil Race, but I need you to pay with your lives. I will give you taboo powers and send you to the Devil Race to slaughter them. I will give them a taste of their own medicine and restrain the Devil Race. This is a choice that comes with a 10% survival rate. All of you are geniuses in the Divine Martial Realm and burdened by blood feuds. Are you willing?”
The old man in the Daoist robe said expressionlessly. The eyes of the white-robed woman and the others were filled with monstrous hatred.
“We are willing!”
The five of them said in unison.
This memory image also shattered!
The next second, the white-robed woman appeared in a blood pool. It was a dim palace, and there were formation pillars around the blood pool. The formation had been activated, forming a light barrier that isolated the blood pool.
The blood pool boiled. The white-robed woman sat in meditation and channeled her energy. She frowned. Her long hair ignited and quickly burned to ashes.
Then, she opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with blood spots and she screamed in pain. Her clothes turned to dust and her flesh slid down like mud. Blood splattered in the hot and bright red pool, and the two blended together.
“Ahhhh
The extreme pain made her voice crack. She leaped up, wanting to jump out of the formation, but she was isolated by the formation. At that moment, her body was skinless and most of her bones were exposed. Her flesh and blood dangled on her bones, looking horrifying. The blood in the pool formed tentacles that wrapped around her and pulled her into the pool.
The blood-colored pool water surged violently and soon calmed down.
The bright moon hung high in the sky. In front of the palace gate, an old man in a Daoist robe waited quietly. His robe fluttered slightly, revealing his otherworldly temperament.
Rumble—
The gate of the palace opened and five figures slowly walked out from the darkness.
They were all five blood-colored skeletons with blood-colored bones that seemed to be stuck to their flesh. They were of different heights and they walked out while trembling, leaving rows of blood footprints.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart descended from the sky. Five divine weapons landed in front of five blood-colored skeletons. One of them was the Soul Skeleton Empress’ shark-toothed broadsword.
“You have succeeded. From now on, the Human Race and the Martial Dao will depend on you to save them!”
The Soul Skeleton Empress raised her hand and the shark-toothed broadsword quickly landed in her hand. She took the lead and grabbed her divine weapon.
A burly blood-colored skeleton stared at the old man in the Daoist robe and asked in a hoarse voice, “If we survive, will we be able to come back after the calamity is over?”
The old man in the Daoist robe answered, “Of course. You are all heroes of the
Divine Martial Realm. If you can survive this calamity, the Divine Martial
Realm will not forget you. Let’s go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the Daoist robe stamped his right foot and light patterns appeared on the ground of the square, forming a formation. The huge square was a teleportation formation.
Strong light flashed and a pillar of light rose from the ground of the square and rushed into the darkness above. When the pillar of light disappeared, the five blood-colored skeletons were nowhere to be seen, leaving only the old man in the Daoist robe.
Jiang Changsheng’s consciousness silently noted down this old man in the Daoist robe.
According to the memories of the Soul Skeleton Empress, he was called
Celestial Venerable Nirvana. He was a Great Celestial Venerable of that era.
Her subsequent memories once again involved mass killing. The five people, who had turned into monsters, massacred as much as they could in the worlds of the Devil Race, venting their hatred. After killing time and time again, their killing intent became stronger and stronger. Their strength did not decrease, but instead increased. Even though they were constantly fighting, as long as they absorbed flesh and blood essence, they would not feel tired and would become stronger the more they fought.
The massacre lasted for a thousand years. There were defeats, escapes, and sacrifices, but they persevered.
After they killed all the devils, there were only three of them left.
With numb hearts, they left the Devil Race and rushed to the Xuanhuang Great World.
The edge of the Xuanhuang Great World where the calamity had just ended was guarded by skyships. The arrival of the three of them with monstrous killing intent immediately attracted the attention of the martial artists. A large number of martial artists paid their dues and stood ready. The moment they saw the three of them, all the martial artists were frightened. Their eyes were filled with fear, disgust, hatred, and so on. There were many expressions that made the three of them feel extremely uncomfortable.
The tall blood-colored skeleton in the lead shouted, “We are not enemies. We are from the Divine Martial Realm!”
As soon as he said that, the martial artists turned pale with fright. They looked at each other in disbelief.
The killing intent of the three of them was too strong!
The three of them were silent as they listened to the martial artists’ discussion.
Long periods of mass killing had caused them to lose their former character. Their gentlest attitude was to remain silent.
After a while, a shooting star flew over from the depths of the Xuanhuang Great World at an extremely fast speed. It quickly arrived on the ship guarding the sky, revealing the figure of Celestial Venerable Nirvana.
Celestial Venerable Nirvana was expressionless as he said, “If you don’t wish to die, then go back. There is no such existence as you in the Divine Martial
Realm!”
The three blood-colored skeletons trembled when they heard that.
“Scram!”
Celestial Venerable Nirvana waved his horsetail whisk and stirred up a terrifyingly strong wind. The three of them could not resist and were directly swept into the darkness.
In the Soul Skeleton Empress’ vision, Celestial Venerable Nirvana’s figure spun and became smaller and smaller until she disappeared. Her vision also completely fell into darkness.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his spiritual will and looked at the Purple Crystal Gourd. Even though he felt emotional, he did not pity her.
During the great calamity, her home was destroyed. She joined the Divine Martial Realm with a speck of hope and relied on her talent to obtain the recognition of the Divine Martial Realm. Later on, she was chosen by Celestial Venerable Nirvana and obtained the power of undying. From then on, she was no longer a human. In order to protect the Human Race and the Martial Dao, she was duty-bound. In the end, she succeeded, but she was also abandoned by the Divine Martial Realm.
At first, the Soul Skeleton Empress felt betrayed. Later on, she learned that after obtaining the power of undying, it was impossible for her to return to her human form. Right now, she was a monster that was not tolerated by anyone. That was why she hated everyone and hated the Divine Martial Realm the most. Every time the Xuanhuang Great World encountered chaos, she and the other two Great Emperors would attack it. It was the same this time, but unfortunately, she encountered the Kunlun Field.
The story was tragic, but there was no turning back.
There were many such incidents, including in Heavenly Jing. The Soul Skeleton Empress had killed too many people and her karma was overwhelming. It was impossible for Jiang Changsheng to accept her because of sympathy.
However, since the Soul Skeleton Empress harbored such hatred for the Divine Martial Realm, she could be used.
In addition, in the memories of the Soul Skeleton Empress, another faction was involved. It was called the Blood Realm, and it was hidden in the void.
The three Great Emperors discovered by chance that it was filled with blood-colored skeletons, all of which were cursed by the power of undying. “The Blood Realm is another threat. The Endless Void is really dangerous.”
Jiang Changsheng sighed internally. The more dangerous the Endless Void was, the more afraid he was of the Xuanhuang Great World. How powerful was the Divine Martial Realm to be able to withstand so many threats and maintain their position as the overlord?
Jiang Changsheng stopped thinking about it. Right now, the Soul Skeleton Empress had fallen into a deep sleep and could not wake up for the time being. In the future, he could slowly read her memories and understand the Endless Void.
He began to inherit the memories of the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger.
He was filled with expectations for the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger. Even though the Soul Skeleton Empress was valued at 90 trillion incense points, her strength had surpassed Dao Martial Spirit Realm due to her undying power.
It was precisely because of her strength that the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger was triggered.
Boundless memories surged into Jiang Changsheng’s mind. The Immortal
Slaying Flying Dagger was a supreme killing treasure in the cultivation world. It could cut through laws and karma and travel through time and space, preventing the victim from resurrecting. At the same time, it could seize the soul of the deceased. It was exceptionally domineering!
In theory, there was no upper limit to the killing power of the Immortal
Slaying Flying Dagger. Unless the enemy was faster than the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger and possessed strength that far exceeded his own, it would be difficult to resist the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger.
To use the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger, he needed to set up an incantation. In the Investiture of the Gods, Daoist Lu Ya used the words “please turn around, baby” as his incantation. When Jiang Changsheng was refining the restriction, he could set up the incantation he wanted.
Jiang Changsheng took out the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger and a red gourd appeared in his hand.
There was only one question in his mind.
What incantation should he use?
