The three souls and seven spirits of 999 pure yin maidens—all innocent girls in the prime of their youth—had their essence b1ood completely drained and their souls imprisoned.
How could this not make Tian Fan furious?
“Heh heh, gods? I’ve never believed in gods. Even if they come, this king will kill them!” The old zombie laughed arrogantly, holding the b1ood orb above his head.
“Demon Zombie b1ood Spirit Orb!”
The old zombie shouted, throwing the b1ood orb towards Tian Fan.
Countless vengeful spirits howled from the b1ood orb, intertwining with each other before the orb exploded into a stream of b1ood filled with wailing spirits, rushing towards Tian Fan.
Across from him, Tian Fan calmed his anger, his face growing serious. His right hand formed the sword seal, and the Azure Light Sword slowly spun above his head. Raising both hands, he quickly formed intricate, mysterious hand seals.
A faint silver array appeared, circular in shape, with five glowing flames revolving around the silver light. It seemed to have form yet also appeared illusory.
Seeing the oncoming “Demon Zombie B1ood Spirit Orb”, Tian Fan pushed forward with both hands, enlarging the silver array until it shielded him completely.
The b1ood orb collided with the silver array, with countless vengeful spirits roaring, but they could not break through, blocked firmly by the silver barrier.
Gradually, the array in front of Tian Fan began to spin slowly, its silver divine light growing stronger. Under the pressure of the array, the b1ood orb started to shrink, about to disappear.
“Impossible, impossible!”
The Zombie King roared, his face showing fear as he opened his mouth wide, trying to suck the b1ood orb back. This b1ood orb was his most treasured possession, but it was clearly being refined by the silver array. He desperately wanted to retrieve it.
“B1ood Spirit Orb, come back!”
The old zombie shouted, increasing his absorption power.
“Trying to retrieve it? Too late!”
Tian Fan sneered. His right hand retracted, forming the Five Elements Seal with his fingers. His left hand held the silver array and pressed down:
“Five Elements Barrier, Seal!”
As Tian Fan’s words fell, a divine aura burst from the center of the silver array.
A faint “Seal (封)” character appeared. As soon as the character emerged, the silver array shattered into a beam of silver light, enveloping the b1ood orb. The moment the “Seal (封)” character landed on the orb, the vengeful spirits stopped howling, their eyes dull as they stared ahead. But after a brief moment, they resumed their howls.
Staring at the vengeful spirits trapped in the silver barrier, Tian Fan brought his hands together, his expression solemn as he recited a mysterious scripture: “Yin and Yang give birth, accompanying the heavens, Immortal gods without soul, Tai Chi calms the heart, the gate of rebirth, Six Paths of Bliss, transcending the mortal world…”
This was the Soul-purifying Scripture recited during the Soaring Dragon Dynasty’s ancestral rites. The solemn scripture began softly, but grew louder like the surging Yellow River, echoing through the entire cave.
The countless vengeful spirits inside the silver barrier showed confused expressions as the scripture resounded. Gradually, their eyes filled with color, the strange red glow covering their souls faded, revealing their original pure soul forms.
Seeing their appearance, Tian Fan’s heart ached slightly.
They were all beautiful flowers in bloom, yet before they could shine with their own light, their lives were cruelly cut short. For a woman, was there anything more cruel than this?
“No, no! You can’t do this!”
Witnessing this scene, the old zombie screamed in terror. This was draining his b1ood! The demon b1ood he spent hundreds of years refining was about to be purified by Tian Fan, driving him mad as he charged towards Tian Fan.
Tian Fan gazed coldly at the old zombie, and with a flash of silver light from the Azure Light Sword above his head, he struck.
“Bang!”
The zombie’s protective barrier shattered under this sword, sending it flying.
Ignoring the zombie, Tian Fan continued chanting the scripture, divine light flowing around him.
Under the Soul-purifying Scripture, the 999 women shed the demonic aura from their bodies and awoke. Their faces were filled with hatred as they glared fiercely at the old zombie lying on the ground.
“Yin and Yang give birth, accompanying the heavens, Immortal gods without soul, Tai Chi calms the heart, the gate of rebirth, Six Paths of Bliss, transcending the mortal world…”
The solemn scripture continued to flow from Tian Fan’s mouth.
The hundreds of women within the silver barrier all turned towards Tian Fan, their gazes softening. All their pain, bitterness, hatred, and resentment vanished under the purifying power of the scripture.
Seeing this, Tian Fan knew it was done. He stopped chanting, his forehead drenched in sweat. The Soul-purifying Scripture had completely cleansed the stains on their souls, and now they could be reincarnated.
The 999 women exchanged glances before turning and bowing deeply towards Tian Fan.
“Thank you!”
This was the heartfelt message transmitted by their souls.
After saying those two words, their soul forms gradually blurred, transforming into white mist. Then, 999 pure white lights rose into the sky, flying towards the moonlit sky.
Several people raised their heads to watch as the 999 soul lights gathered in the sky before scattering in all directions.
Tian Fan knew they had gone to be reincarnated. Just as he was about to lower his head, a pearl-sized white orb descended slowly from the sky, floating quietly before him, emitting a soft white glow, pure and serene.
Tian Fan extended his hand, gently catching the orb.
As the white light dissipated, its true form was revealed—a crystal, transparent and clear. Through it, Tian Fan could clearly see every line on his palm, even more distinctly than with his naked eye. Though he didn’t know what it was, he carefully tucked it away.
Inside the mountain’s depths, the old zombie looked deflated, no longer displaying the arrogant attitude from when it first appeared. As it watched Tian Fan approach, it instinctively began to back away in fear.
“Xiao Fan, kill it. Only then can the dozen villagers be saved,” called Sun Yueying from behind.
Tian Fan nodded. The Azure Light Sword descended from above and appeared in his hand as he continued to walk towards the old zombie.
“Young master—no, master, master, save me!”
At this moment, the old zombie was terrified, turning to beg the Yin-Yang Young Master for help. Now, it was truly afraid.
The Yin-Yang Young Master folded his fan, Li Ming and the other two following behind as he took a few steps forward.
The Zombie King immediately hid behind the four.
The Yin-Yang Young Master smiled smugly, offering what he thought was a charming grin as he cupped his hands towards Tian Fan.
“Please show mercy, my friend, and spare my servant. Form a good relationship with my Yin-Yang Sect, and in the future, you’ll avoid many troubles when walking the world.”
His words sounded polite, but they carried an implicit threat. The meaning was clear: if you don’t agree, you’ll offend the entire Yin-Yang Sect, and the consequences will be severe.
Tian Fan, having read so many ancient poems and texts, could easily decipher the underlying meaning. He smiled lightly and said: “Impossible.”
As soon as those words were spoken, the Yin-Yang Young Master’s previously smiling face darkened dramatically.
