Chapter 797: A Good Battle!
Finally, after several battles, another match of great significance began.
This battle was between Old Ghost Wei and Monk Yiming.
Old Ghost Wei was the second-ranked figure among the Four Devil Princes. His strength was enough to firmly rank within the top ten of the assembly. Before this, even Absolute Sword Path had been easily defeated by him.
As for Monk Yiming, although he had been defeated by Huang Tianlin in one move earlier, that did not mean his strength was weak.
It only meant his opponent had been far too strong.
Anyone who underestimated him because of that would definitely pay a heavy price.
What made this battle even more interesting was that Old Ghost Wei was the second-ranked figure of the Myriad Demon Dao Sect, while Monk Yiming was the second-ranked figure of the Golden Lotus Buddhist Kingdom.
The battle between the second-best geniuses of these two mortal enemy factions undoubtedly held extraordinary meaning.
"Sumeru Golden Mountain."
On the arena, Monk Yiming was bathed in Buddhist light.
With a lion-like roar, golden light surged and interwove into a great golden mountain. The mountain shone brilliantly as it pressed down toward Old Ghost Wei.
"It is useless, you bald donkey."
Old Ghost Wei gave a cold laugh, his green eyes reflecting an eerie light.
"I have always been considered second among the Four Devil Princes. No matter when, I have always been ranked behind Xie Wushang. But in this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly, I will tell everyone that I, Old Ghost Wei, am the true number one among the Four Devil Princes."
Boom!
An incredibly eerie and evil aura rose from Old Ghost Wei.
He laughed wildly and said, "I have waited too long for this day. Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts, I imagine you have also waited for this day for a long time. Today is the moment for you to see the light of day again and make the world tremble in horror."
Amid his wild laughter, a series of dark and eerie low sounds suddenly rang out from within Old Ghost Wei’s body.
Snap!
In the next moment, a blue vein on his arm burst open, splashing black blood. Then, a small pitch-black snake the size of an arm slowly crawled out from inside his arm.
At the same time, one strand of his hair suddenly moved.
Looking closely, it was not a strand of hair at all, but a Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede.
Both of his palms squirmed simultaneously.
A Black Curse Spider crawled out from his left hand, while a Dark Tail Scorpion emerged from his right palm.
Most terrifying and disgusting of all, he opened his mouth, and a dark green three-legged toad hopped out from within.
The Black Venom Snake, Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede, Black Curse Spider, Dark Tail Scorpion, and Three-Legged Corpse Toad were five different creatures.
None of them were large in size, but the aura they emitted was extremely evil and eerie, enough to make one’s heart tremble.
Their method of appearing made countless people’s faces turn pale.
Some female cultivators and those with weaker mental endurance could not help vomiting on the spot.
It had to be said that this scene was truly too disgusting.
It was so disgusting that few normal people could accept it.
"Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts."
Some knowledgeable cultivators suddenly remembered something, and their expressions changed at once. Their faces were filled with terror and disbelief, as if they had seen something unimaginably frightening.
"Old Ghost Wei, you actually cultivated such evil things."
Monk Yiming’s face became even more unsightly, and an incredibly angry light burst from his eyes.
The Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts were evil creatures that struck fear into the hearts of anyone who heard their name, even within the Myriad Demon Dao Sect.
The method to cultivate each of these five evil creatures was extremely cruel and wicked.
For instance, the Three-Legged Corpse Toad required ten thousand pairs of boys and girls born on the day of the full moon. After being tortured for one hundred days using a special secret technique, their essence blood would be harvested to nurture it.
The Black Curse Spider required the slaughter of one million mortals to collect their resentment for its cultivation. Furthermore, every so often, it needed to be fed the resentment of tens of thousands of mortals at the moment of their deaths.
It could be said that every one of the Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts was built upon the death and suffering of countless people.
Even within the sect Old Ghost Wei belonged to, very few people were insane enough to cultivate them.
"Old Ghost Wei, I will definitely defeat you and avenge those innocent remnant souls."
Monk Yiming’s face was full of fury.
The monks of the Golden Lotus Buddhist Kingdom cultivated the Buddhist Dao of compassion, so they had no tolerance for such behavior.
In this battle, he was no longer fighting for himself.
He was fighting for the innocent mortals killed by Old Ghost Wei in order to cultivate the Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts.
"Great Solar Wisdom King Incantation."
He roared like a lion and chanted a loud Buddhist name.
With his hands pressed together, he channeled powerful Buddhist light.
This was an extremely special secret technique of the Golden Lotus Buddhist Kingdom.
The function of this secret technique was to increase the user’s strength in the short term. The more anger one had in their heart during its execution, the more astonishing the increase in strength would become.
"Sumeru Golden Mountain, Suppress."
A stunning Buddhist light erupted from his body and reflected across the entire arena.
His expression was majestic, like a wrathful Wisdom King descending to punish evil.
Under the empowerment of Great Solar Wisdom King Incantation, the Sumeru Golden Mountain expanded to three times its previous size.
The Sumeru Golden Mountain, now a full hundred zhang tall and radiating intense golden Buddhist light, pressed down toward the Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts.
"Useless."
Old Ghost Wei wore a cold and sinister smile as he sneered.
"I spent three whole years nurturing these Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts. If you could break them so easily, where would my dignity go?"
"Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts, let these fools witness your power."
