Chapter 1872: I Want to See the Person Alive or the Body Dead
The self-destruction process is slow, but it actually happened in an instant. A dazzling light flashed, followed by a loud bang that shook the earth and mountains, and then the entire cave collapsed. After holding on for so long, the cave finally failed to withstand the impact of the self-destruction of the Divine Transformation cultivator.
As the cave collapsed, several figures rushed out of the cave. For these Divine Transformation cultivators, the collapse of the cave was nothing. The key was whether they could avoid the self-destruction of the bloody ghost face. However, judging from the number of people who rushed out, there must be someone who did not avoid the self-destruction just now.
The collapse of the cave caused a huge reaction. The nearby mountains within a dozen miles were blown up, and the flying rocks almost covered the area within a radius of dozens of miles. It took a long time to calm down. Seeing that there was no danger around, the several figures who had escaped before gathered again.
There were only five people who gathered together again, namely Gu Hansi, Qingyang, Qilinzi, Liuyun Fairy and Jiuyou Mingwang. Everyone was wounded, their breath was disordered, and their true essence was extremely consumed. Their strength was less than 50%. Fortunately, the bloody ghost face had exploded and was not in danger for the time being.
No one expected that there were eleven people when they came, but now there were only five left. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but the most important thing was that the altar was destroyed, completely cutting off the opportunity to go to the other world. It was a complete failure. If they had known this, they should not have followed to the Yin and Yang world to take risks.
Thinking of this, some people looked at Qingyang with a hint of unkindness. They were all instigated by this guy, otherwise they would not have come to the Yin and Yang world to take risks, but they were just thinking about it. In fact, Qingyang was not to blame for this. In the final analysis, they couldn’t help themselves.
Apart from the sloppy Taoist and Ming Zhenzi, the one with the highest cultivation level was the Nine Netherworld King. He had to take the responsibility. He turned his head and looked at the people around him, frowning and said, "I didn't expect this trip to be so dangerous. Only a few of us managed to escape. Fortunately, the bloody ghost face exploded, and the danger has been eliminated. However, there must be more than a few of us who survived. Now our most important task is to search the surroundings to see if there are other survivors among the rocks. Let's divide our troops into five groups to search. We can't miss any place. We must find the dead and the dead."
What the Nine Netherworld King said made sense. Although the bloody ghost face exploded, the means of other incarnation cultivators should not be underestimated. There must be more than a few of them who survived. Let alone others, Qingyang was sure that the one-horned ghost king was not dead, because the two were connected in mind and spirit. If the one-horned ghost king died, he would definitely feel it. It is estimated that he was too seriously injured and buried under the rocks and couldn't get out.
Then the five of them dispersed to look for anyone still alive in the rocks. The Divine Transformation cultivators were highly skilled. They only needed to release their divine thoughts to search and they could quickly clean up the surroundings. In order to avoid omissions, they also searched each other crosswise, not letting go of any place.
It took a long time to do so seriously. It took the five of them more than half an hour to finish searching the surroundings. Of course, the effect was also very good. They found all the six people who came with them. Of course, some were still alive, and some were left with only broken bodies. The worst was the Immortal Xiaoyao, because the bloody ghost face used his body to self-destruct, so the body would naturally not be preserved. Only a piece of scalp with a little hair was found, which could barely be distinguished as left by the Immortal Xiaoyao.
The other few people, the sloppy Taoist and the corpse king of Mangshan were still alive, but they were seriously injured by the self-destruction. It would be difficult to recover without ten or eight years. The one-horned ghost king only had half of his body left. However, ghost cultivation was special. The body was formed after birth, so it was easy to recover, but the cultivation would decline a lot. I don’t know how much time and energy it would take to cultivate back.
Ming Zhenzi's situation is hard to say. His broken body has obviously lost its breath of life, but he can feel that there is still a trace of residual soul in his body. Maybe he has used some secret method, and it is not certain that he can recover in the future. Let Zhenwu Temple think of a solution.
The situation of the powerful demon king is similar to that of the old immortal Xiaoyao. He can only barely distinguish that some of the broken body parts are his. He should have been shattered by the self-explosion. The powerful demon king was the most seriously injured in the previous battle, and he did not have the ability to escape like the sloppy Taoist. When he exploded, he had no time to escape and was directly submerged by the self-explosion, and not even a trace of residual soul was left.
The biggest difference between the spiritual cultivator and the infant cultivator is that the soul is so powerful that it has the ability to survive alone. Even if it loses its body, if it can leave a trace of residual soul, it can completely turn into a ghost cultivator while retaining some memories. If the soul left is complete enough, it can even find an opportunity to seize another body, and it is even possible to refine a new body.
The powerful demon king and Xiaoyao Old Immortal didn't even have a trace of their souls left, which meant that they had no chance of resurrection. Under normal circumstances, it was rare for a cultivator to die in the middle of the journey. They usually died of exhaustion of their lifespan. Occasionally, there would be a serious conflict, but at most one person died and one person was injured. It had never happened in the history of cultivation in this world for tens of thousands of years, as two cultivators died and four or five were seriously injured. This showed how tragic this trip to the Yin-Yang Realm was.
It wasn't just them, because when the bloody ghost face exploded, Xiaoyao Old Immortal happened to be standing in the center of the altar. The altar was naturally the most seriously affected by the explosion. The entire altar was almost razed to the ground. There was no trace of the previous one. It was completely destroyed and lost its value for repair. They were no longer afraid that people from the other side would teleport over, which saved them a lot of trouble.
The King of Nine Netherworlds led everyone to check again and found that there was indeed nothing missing. Everyone did not dare to stay here for too long. They directly carried the injured and the corpses and walked out of the Yin-Yang Realm.
It has been nearly a day since they came in. The Yin-Yang Realm is full of Yin-Yang dead air. The Divine Transformation cultivators can only stay in it for two days. The fierce battle will make the body absorb more Yin-Yang dead air, and they can't even last for two days. The previous battle was very fierce. Now almost everyone's physical functions have been greatly affected. The true essence is stagnant and the reaction ability is much slower. If they stay in the Yin-Yang Realm for another half a day, they may not be able to get out.
Moreover, there are many injured people among them. It is difficult to recover from the injuries stimulated by the Yin-Yang dead air. Staying here will only make the injuries worse and worse. They must leave as soon as possible, otherwise Ming Zhenzi, the One-Horned Ghost King and others will be worried about their lives. Only Qingyang's situation is better. He has the Yin-Yang Mystical Art. Not only is he not affected by the Yin-Yang dead air, but he can also absorb it in his body to slowly increase his cultivation.
