The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 106 : Karma Burns the Three Realms

Chu Sang had pre-emptively attached a Cushioning Talisman to each of the three, preventing them from becoming "boxed" upon landing.

The bottomless abyss seemed endless. They fell for an unknown duration. In the extreme darkness, the passage of time became silent and imperceptible. Occasionally, they could hear strange screeching calls, unsure which demon beasts were making them, causing their hearts to tighten involuntarily. Fortunately, they all had Concealment Talismans on them, so their descent was uneventful.

They successfully reached the underground abyss.

Chu Sang got up from the ground, untied the rope, cast a Cleansing Technique, and looked around.

The place was pitch black.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, they couldn't use spiritual power. It seemed as if a barrier was blocking spiritual energy.

Chu Sang became more certain of her guess. This Fire Realm Secret Realm was indeed deliberately created by someone.

"Screech!"

Perhaps the commotion here attracted the attention of nearby demon beasts. A sharp, strange cry came from overhead, accompanied by an overwhelmingly foul stench, rushing towards the three of them.

Although Chu Sang couldn't use spiritual fire, she had Heterogeneous Fire.

Almost instantly, a streak of crimson-gold flame shot up from her fingertip.

In the next breath, accompanied by a series of thuds, several dozen man-sized black shadows fell heavily to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a group of enormous blood-sucking bats.

These creatures usually exist in large groups.

The three immediately changed expressions, standing back-to-back to defend against enemies. Mu Chihuai quickly summoned his fire phoenix, which spat out fireballs at the bat swarm.

The fire phoenix was a fire-light attribute demon beast. The trace of ancient divine phoenix blood in its body had a suppressive effect on ordinary demon beasts, not to mention that fire naturally had an attack bonus against dark-attribute demon beasts like blood-sucking bats.

The Heterogeneous Fire and phoenix flames came fiercely. After swiftly dealing with this group of blood-sucking bats in no time, to prevent the bloody smell of the demon beast corpses from attracting more nearby demon beasts, the three turned and ran in the opposite direction.

Chu Sang also searched her spatial storage and found three fist-sized night pearls, distributing them to her two senior brothers.

The night pearls floated above their heads, illuminating the surrounding area, allowing the three to clearly see the horrifying scene before them.

The stone that nearly tripped Tantai Ming turned out to be a half-broken human skull.

Besides the skull, there were all sorts of bones scattered around—rib cages, forearm bones, humeri, leg bones... It was a complete set, as if for an anatomy class. Even medical students would call them "venerable body teachers."

Tantai Ming and Mu Chihuai weren't delicate flowers raised in a greenhouse. They had killed countless demon beasts and seen terrifying scenes before. But seeing an entire valley littered with corpses, bones piled into mountains of various sizes, and many recently deceased bodies that hadn't fully decomposed yet, attracting disgusting maggots crawling in and out, and numerous featherless black vultures pecking at them, with rotting flesh splattering about, the two couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

It was disgusting.

Utterly disgusting.

"...These corpses are all cultivators, right?" Tantai Ming rubbed his arms, goosebumps rising.

This valley was clearly a large-scale mass grave.

"They were all eaten by demon beasts," Mu Chihuai said in a deep voice.

On these corpses, there were hardly any sword or blade wounds caused by cultivator battles. Instead, they seemed to have suffered from brutal bites by demon beasts before death. Many bodies were dismembered, their limbs and torsos torn apart, making it impossible to discern their original appearance.

Clearly, this secret realm was nothing but a trap set for cultivators.

"Help!"

At that moment, a terrified cry for help came from not far away.

That voice sounded somewhat familiar.

The three looked at each other.

Tantai Ming asked, "Should we go help?"

Chu Sang responded righteously, "As fellow righteous path cultivators, when we encounter others in distress seeking help, we naturally should see injustice on the road, draw our swords, and watch the show."

On the other side of the valley, Nangong Jin's group encountered a pack of Crimson Flame Wolves and nearly "became boxes" upon landing.

It was thanks to the numerous life-saving magical treasures that the Nangong family had given this Young Master before he left that they barely managed to preserve their lives.

This group of hungry demon beasts, who hadn't eaten for who knows how long, chased after the human group like mad upon seeing them.

Nangong Jin was on the verge of crying in despair. At first, they were being chased by a pack of wolves, then a group of tiger beasts joined in. The number of pursuing demon beasts kept increasing, while his group was running out of energy. What's worse, they couldn't use spiritual power in this place and had no way to fight back. A sense of despair spread in their hearts.

Chu Sang sat cross-legged on a tree, leisurely munching on a fruit, watching the group run past below in a panic.

To be honest, she had never been a person of much quality. Seeing this group being tormented so miserably, she felt they could suffer a bit more.

After finishing the fruit, she casually threw the peel, hitting Nangong Jin.

"It's you!"

Nangong Jin looked up unexpectedly and saw three familiar figures. As if grasping the last straw of hope, he didn't even have time to mind the previous conflict between the two groups. "Save me!"

"Come, come, buy a life-saving talisman. We have Speed Talismans, Explosive Talismans, Substitution Talismans, Golden Armor Talismans, everything you need for secret realm adventures. Even the King of Hell would praise your good fortune!" Chu Sang enthusiastically set up shop. "Three thousand spirit stones for one, five thousand for two, ten thousand for five. Fair prices, more savings for bulk purchases, no deception to young or old!"

The Nangong family cultivators nearly coughed up blood in anger.

Their storage rings had all been robbed, leaving them penniless... Yet this person was still trying to rob them halfway. Did she have any conscience at all??

Seeing the large, dark mass of demon beasts behind them getting closer and closer, with their lives at stake, they really had no choice. Nangong Jin decided to completely abandon his dignity and tried to climb the tree to escape. He was mercilessly kicked down by the young woman.

He unexpectedly fell face-first into the dirt. Getting up from the ground, both anxious and angry, he shouted, "Even if we had conflicts before, in the face of great danger, aren't we all cultivators? How can you just stand by coldly? How are you any different from those heartless evil cultivators??"

"You're right," Chu Sang thought seriously and nodded sincerely, extending a hand of friendship towards him.

Nangong Jin was overjoyed and was about to grasp her hand to climb up when Chu Sang withdrew her hand and gave him another kick. "But sorry, I have no quality."

No quality indeed, but the apology was truly polite.

Nangong Jin nearly fainted from anger at her words, his body swaying unsteadily from the shock.

"You're courting death, daring to humiliate us!"

The two servants beside him were both late Golden Core stage body cultivators. Even without spiritual power, their physical strength far surpassed others.

The two each lifted a heavy dark iron cleaver and heavily chopped at the ancient tree, which was as thick as more than a dozen people's embraces!

A violent shake ensued.

"These people really never learn. They're actually trying to drag us down with them!" Tantai Ming nearly lost his footing and angrily drew his sword.

Nangong Jin knew they had a way out, so he wanted to force them to come down together.

Unfortunately, the three wouldn't comply with their wishes.

Mu Chihuai scattered something downwards, causing the demon beasts to become even more agitated.

Originally, they had already attracted more demon beasts, but now they drew in thousands upon thousands, almost emptying out all the demon beasts in the valley.

"Are you crazy?? What did you do??" Nangong Jin shouted.

Mu Chihuai said slowly, "Mating pheromones."

Nangong Jin didn't know if they were crazy, but he was about to go mad.

"Stay calm, watch this," Chu Sang formed hand seals, her expression solemn. "All things, rise—"

The valley barrier indeed restricted cultivators' spiritual power, but it only restricted cultivators' spiritual power and wouldn't restrict other things.

Wood Essence Spirit and Heterogeneous Fire were both naturally born spiritual objects nurtured by heaven and earth, with their own set of spiritual energy operations. No restriction in the world could limit them.

Following her command, thousands of vines erupted from the ground, forming a semicircular prison dozens of meters high in the blink of an eye, trapping all the demon beasts gathered here.

Nangong Jin, whose legs were about to give out from running and whose mind was nearly dazed with anger, was dumbfounded at this sight.

He belatedly remembered the fruit cores Chu Sang had thrown on the ground, which seemed to be... fruits of some kind of magic vine? Damn, this was really life-threatening.

These three were truly one more abnormal than the other.

Before the demon beasts could escape, thousands of fine white spider silk threads shot out, further reinforcing the defense.

Chu Sang dusted off her hands and smiled at the alluring woman with a spider-like body beside her. "Hong Niang, you were injured recently. These demon beasts are mostly at the Golden Core stage. Replenish your body well."

"Thank you, Master. I'll eat them all up~" Hong Niang licked her red lips and transformed into her full beast form. The fate of these demon beasts was predictable.

Nangong Jin's group was terrified... A late Nascent Soul stage demon beast??

This person was too terrifying. How could she contract a late Nascent Soul stage demon beast??

So outside, she had really gone easy on them. Otherwise, they would have been dead long ago.

Nangong Jin couldn't help but swallow, at a loss for words.

Xiao Bai jumped into Chu Sang's arms. She rubbed its fluffy head and turned back with a smile.

"Alright, let's leave these demon beasts to Hong Niang to deal with. We should go take care of our main business."

The moment she arrived at the secret realm, she had sent Xiao Bai out early to scout the situation.

In this valley, there was actually an extinct volcano that had long been dormant.

Within the extinct volcano, there was a hidden cave that retained traces of demon cultivator aura.

The demon cultivator aura disappeared in the cave.

It seemed that within the cave, there should be other mechanisms or teleportation formations leading to the true innermost layer of the secret realm.

Since they had come this far, it would be a shame not to go in and take a look.

But outside the volcano, a large number of demon beasts were stationed.

Not to mention that fighting would take some time and cause too much commotion, alarming their targets, it didn't seem worth it from any angle. It was better to use Nangong Jin's group as tools to encircle and clear out the demon beasts first. After clearing the obstacles, the rest would be much simpler.

They didn't bother with Nangong Jin's group anymore. After shaking off these tools, they hurried to the volcano cave.

Inside the cave was also an altar carved with many runes.

Chu Sang didn't take long to skillfully decipher the formation.

A teleportation formation appeared beneath their feet. When they opened their eyes again, the scene before them had changed. They had arrived inside the volcano.

The sight inside the volcano was astonishing.

As far as the eye could see, everything was fiery red lava, dazzlingly bright. Even cultivators could hardly withstand such high temperatures. Mu Chihuai took out some Ice Condensation Pills, which made Chu Sang feel a bit better.

This volcano was not the extinct one it appeared to be from the outside, but rather an active volcano building up power.

If the volcano were compared to a large pot, then beneath their feet on this giant stone bridge, the boiling, flowing red-hot magma was like water starting to boil, bubbling with fire bubbles.

In at most half an hour, the magma from deep within the volcano would erupt outwards, burning the entire secret realm and everything within it, including the cultivators, to ashes.

"Look, what's that thing at the very top?" Tantai Ming pointed towards the top of the volcano, where a fiery red bow and arrow floated in mid-air.

"That should be the legendary divine bow, Karma Burns the Three Realms," Chu Sang's eyes lit up.

It was her first time seeing the legendary pure fire-attribute divine artifact. She had to admit, as someone with a pure fire spirit root, she was a bit excited.

"Hehe, to think three little ants have managed to sneak in here. How interesting." At that moment, a demon cultivator walked in from outside the cave. At the half-step Divine Transformation stage, he was considered a great demon king even in demon territory.

The demon king narrowed his eyes coldly when he saw these three uninvited guests. He couldn't believe the forbidden area had been infiltrated by three human cultivators. It was truly unbelievable.

But since that was the case, it was just as well.

It saved him the trouble of going outside to catch a few more.

It's worth mentioning here that divine artifacts nurtured by heaven and earth are not only regarded as supreme treasures in the cultivation world, but are equally precious to the demon, ghost, and beast races.

Although most divine artifacts would have some resistance or restraining effect on these three races, if they could obtain divine artifacts they could use, that would naturally be best. Even if these divine artifacts had restraining effects on them, if they could snatch them from human cultivators, it would deprive the cultivators of a method to restrain them. Correspondingly, the strength of the cultivation world would decrease, which was naturally all benefit and no harm to them.

This was exactly what the demon cultivator had in mind.

As soon as they received news of the divine bow's appearance, they immediately rushed over, placing the divine bow under this volcano in the Fire Realm Secret Realm, attempting to awaken the divine artifact with pure fire source.

Unfortunately, they could never contract this divine artifact with their power alone. However, the demon race had many forbidden techniques, but they required sacrificing cultivators.

Sadly, he had already killed so many human cultivators, yet still hadn't gained the divine bow's acknowledgment.

The demon cultivator could only attribute it to not having killed enough people.

The three before him were quite capable Golden Core stage cultivators. Since they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he might as well sacrifice them first!

The half-step Divine Transformation stage demon cultivator's pressure bore down on the three like a tidal wave. At the same time, one of his hands transformed into a claw as he rushed towards the three with a ghostly figure.

He thought these three small Golden Core human cultivators would surely die under his attack, but unexpectedly, the three figures vanished in an instant, reappearing in another place.

He narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous, "...Domain?"

He turned his gaze to the beast beside Chu Sang, surprised that such a small cub could comprehend a domain. It was truly interesting.

However, domains consumed an extreme amount of energy for spirit beasts and demon beasts. They could only be activated once a day at most.

Even if they escaped, how many times could they run?

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, not knowing one's own limitations." He sneered, full of disdain. "I've already set up a barrier outside this valley. Spiritual energy can't flow in from the outside world, and you human cultivators' spiritual power will also be restricted here, unable to be used."

"Unable to use spiritual power, you're nothing but a bunch of weaklings!"

"You're quite right," Chu Sang applauded his intelligence, her tone light. "So, I plan to use demonic energy instead."
