1089: Chapter 664 1089: Chapter 664 They practiced techniques to resist thunder and lightning, but now, this Divine Dragon wanted them dead.
As fierce thunder techniques struck, their physical defenses couldn’t keep up, and their bodies were obliterated by the thunderstrike!
Their souls floated out of their heads, still dazed and confused, not understanding what was happening!
More thunderbolts descended continuously, striking these demon pigs down before they had any chance to resist!
Nearby, demon cultivators watching the scene were horrified by the terrifying spectacle!
They tried to escape but quickly realized they were trapped!
Looking in fear at the ones who had confined them, they saw that it was two strikingly handsome youths!
The terrifying youth was the one who had killed the demon pigs with a single thunder technique.
With one move, he had utterly obliterated them—truly fearsome!
The demon cultivators were panic-stricken and wanted to flee but discovered they could no longer escape!
The immense pressure they felt immobilized their bodies!
Eryao and the Green Ox hovered in mid-air, looking down upon the demon cultivators condescendingly!
They stared at them as if gazing at lifeless corpses!
Eryao didn’t immediately kill them, instead just looking on, observing their human-like reactions and the intense fear in their eyes!
“Tsk tsk, did they ever consider moments like this when they harmed others?”
“Did they ever think about the retribution waiting for them?”
Eryao exchanged a glance with the Green Ox: “You handle these people!”
The Green Ox nodded, as he had never truly killed anyone before!
In his hand, fireballs burst forth one after another!
The demon cultivators only felt fierce heat surging toward them, an overpowering fiery sensation sweeping over their beings!
There was no place to hide!
“Boom, boom!”
The fireballs unleashed by the Green Ox slammed down, creating deep pits one after another!
The evil demons made futile attempts at resistance but soon realized it was useless.
The fireballs struck them down to the earth, creating pits that buried them!
Not only their souls but also their bodies were buried underground.
Only screams of agony escaped their lips: “Ahhhh!”
In disbelief, amidst their long-planned schemes spanning two months—having already envisioned their flourishing future—why had these individuals suddenly appeared?
Why had they come here?
Why now?
Evil…
why couldn’t it triumph over righteousness?
They were nothing more than ants, yet why did such overwhelmingly powerful beings emerge?
Who were these people, and where had they come from?
Why hadn’t these powerful individuals emerged when the demons were plotting earlier?
They had been so close to victory, so close to conquering the land… Why?
The demons were only able to let their souls emit confused question marks before their flesh and souls were wiped out entirely.
Even the souls they had painstakingly gathered floated out unknowingly!
It could be said that these souls weren’t fully refined yet and might still be eligible for reincarnation!
The members of the small noble clan, worn out and thinking their demise was certain, closed their eyes and waited for the impending annihilation of their lineage!
Outside, everything grew silent.
There was no longer any sound like “boom boom”; it seemed as if everything had calmed down.
Seizing the quiet, they used this time to adjust their energy flow and recover their spiritual energy!
Eryao, Green Ox, and Ye Tian quickly wiped out the demon pigs and evil demons.
It had been as easy as harvesting chives, leaving them without even the chance to savor the moment before the chives were completely cut!
The souls of the innocent people trapped in the space required the opening of the Ghost Gate to pass through!
Jiang Tang helplessly opened the Ghost Gate again, determined to do the right thing.
As the Ghost Gate opened, chilly winds roared!
Those souls automatically floated toward the gate, lining up in an orderly fashion!
Gone was the earlier clueless and dazed behavior.
Perhaps the Ghost Gate exuded an irresistible allure!
Just moments after the Ghost Gate was opened, two figures—Black and White Impermanence—rushed out from within!
Black and White Impermanence approached Jiang Tang first, clasping their fists in greeting: “Greetings to Immortal Venerable!” Their respectful demeanor was even more exaggerated than if they were bowing to their father, their faces full of ingratiating smiles that made one question if this was truly Black and White Impermanence?
“Tsk tsk, these days even Black and White Impermanence act like this; no wonder peace is scarce in the Mortal Realm!” Eryao was the first to speak sarcastically!
Green Ox… “I didn’t see anything; I won’t say anything.
Who knows if I, a mere ox, might need to visit the Netherworld someday?
If ascension becomes possible, then that won’t be necessary!”
Ye Tian… “Black and White Impermanence have such attitudes these days?
Are they sucking up, or have they become expert bootlickers too?”
Perhaps their expressions were too obvious; Black and White Impermanence didn’t appear offended.
Instead, they laughed thick-skinnedly, their smiles eerie and unsettling!
“Immortal Venerable, you may not know, but isn’t it true that earlier you provided Pills to Ox-Head and Horse-Face as compensation?
Those lucky guys immediately retreated into seclusion to improve their cultivation after completing their assignment.
Their breakthrough was so loud that it stirred the entire Netherworld!
It’s fortunate that we snagged this task so quickly; otherwise, other colleagues would’ve taken it.
Even Lord of Hell envies us, saying that if opportunities like this arise again, he’ll personally take the next one!” Black Impermanence explained!
White Impermanence chimed in: “Yes, yes!
If not for the restriction of one pair per assignment, it’s lucky we acted swifter than others.
Otherwise, the chance would’ve been snatched away.
Haha!” White Impermanence hadn’t mentioned that the task could’ve been completed solo.
For a task as rewarding as this, who wouldn’t compete for it?
Would a great pill make even ghosts work overtime?
The collective thought was now clear: even Netherworld workers scramble for resources!
Eryao, seeing how talkative White Impermanence was, asked: “Do you not have sufficient resources while working in the Netherworld?
Are compensations inadequate?”
Black and White Impermanence were forthcoming, lamenting how the Alchemists in the Netherworld were utterly unskilled!
Their crafted Pills barely reached High Grade, with not a single Supreme Elixir to be found.
Pills were hard to come by!
This stunted their cultivation progress; even the Lord of Hell hadn’t advanced in 800 years!
This was why Ox-Head and Horse-Face, upon receiving Supreme Pills, achieved instant improvement, sparking envy among others!
Even the Lord of Hell had sent them to inquire whether the Pills could be sold!
“We don’t have other resources to exchange with you, so perhaps selling them isn’t the best idea.
It might lead to us asking for too many favors later!”
Jiang Tang, needing neither money nor materials, considered that the Netherworld had rare Artifact Refining materials.
However, with his cultivation level, retrieving Netherworld materials wasn’t an issue!
He wouldn’t foolishly become a tool for others’ alchemy.
Giving rewards was fine, but selling them wouldn’t be wise!
No matter human or ghost, ambition and greed are endless!
“Here, this is your compensation!” Jiang Tang stopped wasting words and handed each of them a bottle filled with two Nourishing Soul Pills.
Black and White Impermanence happily accepted the bottles, carefully placing them in their bosoms.
They bowed deeply to Jiang Tang: “Should Immortal Venerable have any requests, simply summon us at the Ghost Gate, or we can provide you with a token!”
Each of them handed Jiang Tang an icy black-and-white necklace.
The necklaces seemed made of Profound Iron but carried unique Netherworld elements.
The material seemed special!
Perhaps the necklaces contained their aura and could summon them!
Jiang Tang… Is this pre-arranged service?
As the one in charge, Jiang Tang sometimes preferred not to handle tasks personally!
Thus, he handed the black-and-white necklaces to the Green Ox to act as his deputy!
Though he could have given them to Ye Tian, Ye Tian wasn’t exactly his subordinate!
Sometimes, Ye Tian was focused on cultivation rather than handling operations personally!
Seeing Jiang Tang giving their gifts to a subordinate, Black and White Impermanence didn’t mind.
Being associated with an Immortal Venerable’s aides was privilege enough!
They even suspected that the two subordinates were Demonic Gods transformed into human form!
Far stronger than ordinary demons, capable of eradicating rampaging evil beings—perhaps they were Divine Beasts.
Black and White Impermanence, though Ghost Envoys, felt they might not match Divine Beasts!
Likely, the one present was a Dragon—perhaps a Divine Dragon.
If his thunder struck, even Black and White Impermanence couldn’t withstand it!
As the ghostly souls passed through the Ghost Gate, Black and White Impermanence reluctantly left.
But they couldn’t help but hope for greater rewards!
Even the Lord of Hell coveted Supreme Elixirs; how could they not desire them?
The Netherworld had Nourishing Soul Grass, but they lacked capable alchemists.
The effectiveness of Pills varied greatly depending on who refined them!
Supreme Nourishing Soul Pills were the ultimate nourishment for ghost cultivators!
