181: Ghost Heart strikes, terror awakens.

The turbid eyeballs of Gui Xin within the Heavenly Corpse slowly turned like rusted bearings, eventually settling on Di Jintian.

That gaze held no emotion, as cold as if he were sizing up a dead object.

"Purple Mansion Realm..." A dry, raspy voice rang out, sounding like sandpaper rubbing against dry bones, carrying a chill that could freeze one's Soul.

"To be able to wound Yu Long... interesting." His gaze swept over the residual aura of dark-gold flames on Di Jintian's body. Deep within his turbid eyes, an extremely subtle flicker of something called greed passed by.

"These flames... their Origin is extraordinary. Hand them over, along with the things you stole, and this old man... will leave your corpse intact to be refined into a corpse puppet."

He spoke extremely slowly, each word carrying heavy Law pressure that ground down ruthlessly upon Di Jintian's Divine Soul.

Di Jintian gritted his teeth so hard that blood seeped from his gums.

He frantically circulated the lower volume of the Divine Demon Transformation Cultivation Technique, attempting to break through this Law imprisonment.

Deep within his Dantian, the Yin and Yang twin flame Origins were like enraged trapped beasts, lashing out in all directions. That overbearing will originating from the Divine Demon struggled to confront the terrifying external pressure, actually causing an extremely subtle loosening in those invisible shackles!

"Old... dog..." Di Jintian squeezed out two words from between his teeth, every syllable carrying bloody froth.

"If you want it... come and... take it yourself!" A fire of defiance burned in his eyes, a resolve that would rather be smashed to pieces than bow his head!

He knew that handing the things over would also lead to death, perhaps even a more miserable one!

His only choice was to fight to the death!

"Stubborn and foolish." There were no ripples in Gui Xin's turbid eyes; he seemed completely indifferent to Di Jintian's resistance, even finding it somewhat boring.

The Heavenly Corpse's withered, chicken-claw-like right hand rose slowly and casually, pressing down gently toward Di Jintian's direction.

An irresistible, indescribable, and terrifying crushing force descended from all directions with a roar!

It intended to grind both his body and Soul into the finest dust!

"Ugh, ah—!" Di Jintian let out a low, beast-like growl, his entire skeletal structure groaning under the unbearable burden!

The Yin and Yang Twin Flames covering his body were compressed to the extreme, flickering as if they might be extinguished at any moment!

Blood instantly gushed from his seven orifices!

Death! The shadow of true death completely enveloped him!

The power of the Law Realm was simply not something he could contend with at his current level!

He desperately circulated his Cultivation Technique, trying to summon the god-demon battle armor, but that bit of power was like a firefly before the bright moon under the Law's crushing weight!

"Is this the end? No! How can I, Di Jintian, die here! Qingge is still waiting for me!"

Desperate thoughts bit at him like venomous snakes, but deeper down, a surge of unwillingness and violent rage originating from his Bloodline and the Divine Demon Transformation roared frantically!

Just as Di Jintian felt he would completely collapse and his Soul would fly away and spirit scatter in the next second—

A sudden change occurred!

Rumble—!!!

For the first time, a violent ripple appeared on Gui Xin's withered face!

A terrifying, sharp light burst from his turbid eyes as he stared fixedly toward the Blood-Weeping Cave!

The Law power in the palm he was pressing toward Di Jintian also experienced a momentary stagnation and dissipation due to this sudden, violent tremor!

Boom—!!!!

A roar far more terrifying and violent than anything before it, like the convergence of the spiteful curses of billions of living beings before death, suddenly erupted from deep within the Blood-Weeping Cave!

This sound exploded directly in the depths of everyone's Souls!

Pfft! Pfft!

Gui Xin gave a muffled groan, and the Heavenly Corpse swayed slightly. The grey hemp clothes on his hunched body fluttered without wind, his Law Realm aura fluctuated violently, and the sharp light in his turbid eyes surged as he locked onto the direction of the Blood-Weeping Cave.

For the first time, an incredibly solemn expression appeared on Gui Xin's face, even faintly carrying a hint of... wariness!

Di Jintian was also shaken until his vision went dark and his Divine Soul felt sharp pain by this terrifying Soul roar. However, the terrifying Law crushing force on his body suddenly weakened by more than half due to this sudden turn of events and the diversion of Gui Xin's attention!

A chance! The only chance for survival!

The instinct to survive overrode everything!

Di Jintian didn't even have time to think about what monster was in that cave. The Yin and Yang Twin Flames erupted like a fire doused in hot oil!

He forcibly broke free from the residual Law shackles, his body turning into a streak of light burning with residual flames, and charged desperately toward a huge, cracked fissure in the opposite direction of Soul-Burial Gorge and the Blood-Weeping Cave!

"You want to leave?!" Gui Xin noticed instantly, killing intent surging in his eyes.

At this moment, most of his mind was preoccupied by the terrifying existence awakening in the Blood-Weeping Cave, preventing him from attacking with full strength. However, he was confident that dealing with a heavily injured Purple Mansion Realm brat required only a sliver of his attention!

His withered finger pointed extremely quickly through the air toward the direction of Di Jintian's flight!

"Profound Dark Finger!"

Ssh!

A grey-black finger beam arrived later but struck first, instantly catching up to Di Jintian's back!

This finger strike contained a Law Realm expert's comprehension of death. Though seemingly unremarkable, it was enough to easily pierce and kill any Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivator!

Di Jintian's Soul almost left his body in fright!

He felt the aura of death behind him that was enough to freeze even his Divine Soul!

It was unavoidable! Unstoppable!

No!

An unwilling roar erupted in his heart. He frantically pushed the god-demon battle armor to protect his back while simultaneously twisting his body with all his might!

Pfft!

The grey-black finger beam accurately pierced through the god-demon battle armor and stabbed ruthlessly below his left shoulder blade!

A cold and malicious Law power, carrying a strong death corrosion, instantly invaded his body, frantically destroying his life force and freezing his blood and Meridians!

"Ugh!" Di Jintian's vision went dark, and he nearly tumbled from the sky.

The intense pain and extreme cold left half of his body numb.

He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue. Under the stimulation of the sharp pain, he forcibly endured that moment of paralysis. Borrowing the impact of the finger beam, his speed actually increased by thirty percent, and like a life-burning meteor, he plunged headlong into that huge fissure leading out of the mountains!

"Bastard!" Seeing that a single finger strike failed to kill him, a flash of ferocity appeared in Gui Xin's eyes. He was about to follow up with another strike to finish him off for good.

Boom—!!!!

Another change occurred toward the Blood-Weeping Cave!

A tide of dark-red Evil Qi, as thick as blood and so dense it wouldn't disperse, erupted from the depths of the cave like a bursting sea of blood. Mixed with countless twisted, wailing blood-colored vengeful spirits, it instantly swept across the entire Soul-Burial Gorge!

The terrifying shrieks of the vengeful spirits and the corrosive power of the blood-evil forced even Gui Xin to fully circulate his Law power to resist!

An incredibly massive, blurry giant shadow, composed entirely of viscous blood plasma and countless struggling vengeful spirits, loomed within the Blood-Weeping Cave, emitting a violent and hungry aura that made heaven and earth tremble!

Its "gaze" seemed to penetrate space, locking onto the existence with the strongest aura in Soul-Burial Gorge—Gui Xin!

"Damn it!" Gui Xin's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer spare any thought for the escaping Di Jintian.

The Heavenly Corpse body he controlled erupted with sky-toppling Law fluctuations. His hands rapidly formed seals, and a massive grey-black Law light shield, inscribed with countless twisted ghost scripts, instantly condensed in front of him!

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devour!" he growled low. Countless ghostly shadows emerged on the light shield, meeting the sweeping tide of blood-evil and the terrifying, blurry giant shadow!

Rumble—!!!

A terrifying collision erupted in the heart of Soul-Burial Gorge!

The entire mountain wailed as huge fissures spread everywhere!
