Chapter Ninety-One: The Destruction of the Moon Lock Tower

Yun Chuxue was speechless. It was evident that the black-clothed person was here to joke around.

Seeing Yun Chuxue's skeptical look, the black-clothed person stood up and said, "Follow me."

Seeing the black-clothed person fly towards the depths of the forest, Yun Chuxue followed suit.

Before long, the black-clothed person stopped and pointed to the spirit beast below, saying, "How long do you think you can handle it?"

The spirit beast the black-clothed person pointed to was unexpectedly the Emperor Mountain Gigantic Ape, ranked second among the top ten fierce beasts. It was said that this spirit beast possessed the ability to split mountains and defend against attacks, making it the most formidable defensively on the continent. Even Yun Chuxue, to defeat it, would require considerable effort.

"Yun Chuxue, watch closely."

First, the black-clothed person lightly attacked the Emperor Mountain Gigantic Ape with spiritual power, awakening it.

Then the Emperor Mountain Gigantic Ape roared and looked towards the black-clothed person. Just as the Emperor Mountain Gigantic Ape took a step forward, the black-clothed person snapped his fingers, and a transparent net suddenly appeared around the Emperor Mountain Gigantic Ape, crushing it into large and small pieces of flesh, staining the ground red with blood.

Instant kill!

Yun Chuxue was shocked. The black-clothed person said, "So, it's unfair."

"And what would be fair?"

"I'll give you a cultivation technique. Practice it, and when you've mastered it, we'll fight again."

"What technique?"

The black-clothed person handed Yun Chuxue a book.

"The Profound Heaven Extreme Yin Scripture? What kind of technique is this? Isn't this a cultivation technique of your demonic sect?"

"Yes."

"Practicing this kind of technique requires sacrificing lifespan. Do you think I would practice it?"

"This is the complete technique. What I gave them was just a part of it. Naturally, there are side effects. Before practicing this technique, one must harbor murderous intent and possess a strong killing aura. Consider it carefully. I'll go get the spirit beast's inner core."

After the black-clothed person left, Yun Chuxue examined the technique.

"Moya, do you think I should practice this technique?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I looked it up. This is a top-level technique of the demonic race. Because your spiritual sea is half empty due to the reverse flow of meridians, it's perfect for storing demonic power."

"But this is a demonic sect technique. I..."

"Yun Chuxue, techniques themselves are neither good nor evil; it's only people who are. Now, with a formidable enemy before you, enhancing your strength is the priority. Who cares about right or wrong?"

"Alright, I'll follow your advice."

After being scolded by Moya, Yun Chuxue's mind opened up, and she made up her mind.

In no time, the black-clothed person flew back. "Have you decided?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Immediately, the black-clothed person took out a black pill and handed it to Yun Chuxue.

"What's this?"

"This is the Demonic Power Pill. After you take it, it will facilitate the practice of the technique."

Then the black-clothed person flattened the trees on the ground with a palm, and the surroundings were enveloped in a formation.

"Go, I'll protect you."

Yun Chuxue entered the formation, and before going in, Moya reminded her, "This is a simple formation. It can't trap you. Go in with confidence." She sat at the center of the formation and began practicing the Profound Heaven Extreme Yin Scripture after swallowing the pill.

When Yun Chuxue swallowed the pill, its effects immediately kicked in. Her eyes turned red, blood-colored, and her entire body's meridians were covered with demonic energy, colliding with spiritual power. Thus, Yun Chuxue began to reverse her meridians, which eased her discomfort somewhat. By practicing the Profound Heaven Extreme Yin Scripture, she guided the demonic energy into her spiritual sea.

Then, by breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she transformed the spiritual power into demonic power, storing it in her spiritual sea.

As Yun Chuxue silently recited the incantations, she felt unexpectedly relaxed. In less than half an hour, she had mastered the Profound Heaven Extreme Yin Scripture proficiently.

Three days later, Yun Chuxue's spiritual sea was already full, and if there were a ranking of demonic power levels, she would now be on par with the pinnacle of the Spirit God realm.

Yun Chuxue approached the edge of the formation and found that it did not restrict her. She came out and saw the black-clothed person looking at her.

"Not bad, you're very smart. How does it feel to master another type of energy?"

"I can't understand why you're helping me. Aren't we enemies?"

"I have only one reason: I want a fair duel with you. I'll give you six years. During these six years, do whatever you want. After six years, I'll come find you for a duel. Don't forget."

After saying that, the black-clothed person disappeared.

"He's a strange person. Since you've given me this technique, if one day I defeat you, I'll let you go."

"Tsk tsk, just mind your own business."

Yun Chuxue smiled faintly. "Now it's time for revenge. The first stop: the Moon Lock Tower."

Yun Chuxue suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. Using her spiritual sense to check, she found that the two energies in her spiritual sea were suddenly incompatible, showing signs of fusion and rupture. She immediately sat down cross-legged to adjust her breath.

"Moya, what's going on?"

"The two energies are incompatible. You need a Fusion Spirit Pill to adjust. I'll temporarily suppress them for you. Once we find the herbs, we can refine it. But where can we find the herbs?"

"The Moon Lock Tower. There must be some there."

"Alright, let's go there."

Then Yun Chuxue flew towards the Moon Lock Tower at lightning speed. She had to quickly take the Fusion Spirit Pill, or else she wouldn't be able to go to the Spiritual Master's Mansion in her current state.

The Moon Lock Tower was located in the heart of the Dongyu Empire, and with Yun Chuxue's speed, she could reach it in less than a day.

As she approached the Moon Lock Tower, she noticed a large group of black-clad cultivators heading towards it.

"I remember, in a few days, it's Hua Jinxi's centennial celebration. I'll go and present a big gift."

A few days later, the grand hall of the Moon Lock Tower was filled with tables of various sizes.

Guests attending the celebration included generals and officials from the Dongyu Empire, as well as elders and talented disciples from various sects. The lords of other cities, including Huai Que, were also present, along with some members of the demonic sect.

"Thank you all for coming to celebrate. Please, enjoy."

"Thank you, Sect Master Hua."

With a glass of strong liquor downed, everyone toasted each other with smiles, enjoying the festivities.

At that moment, Yun Chuxue suddenly stood in the air above the sect, watching them drinking, feeling somewhat disgusted.

"While the outside world is in calamity, you're here drinking. Taste my Heavenly Moon Star Shatter."

Suddenly, a strike like the splitting of heaven and earth cleaved the massive hall in half.

Hua Jinxi suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted, "Run!"

The Heavenly Moon Star Shatter split the entire hall in two. Hua Jinxi and a few others with higher cultivation managed to escape, but the rest were turned to ashes by the attack.

Hua Jinxi looked on from afar, pale with shock. "Yun Chuxue, you're still alive?"

"What? Yun Chuxue is still alive?"

"Quick, look! Yun Chuxue looks pale, she must be injured. Let's help her."

"Alright, let's show her the might of our sect with my Drunken Branch Slash."

Hua Jinxi swung his sword towards Yun Chuxue. However, due to the suppression of demonic power, Yun Chuxue was unable to muster enough strength and was directly knocked back to the ground, sliding with her sword inserted, covering quite a distance.

"Everyone, attack! We must kill her today."

"Alright."

The crowd surged forward, each wielding weapons and charging at Yun Chuxue.

However, Yun Chuxue couldn't suppress the demonic power anymore. When they were less than ten steps away from her, Yun Chuxue shouted and instantly produced a large amount of demonic power around her, repelling the crowd.

"What's going on?"

The crowd felt some panic. "Why is her power the same as ours?"

"Has she turned to the demonic path?"

"The Yun Chuxue who resisted our Holy Sect in the past unexpectedly practiced our techniques."

"Haha..."

...

"Have you all had enough laughter?"

Upon hearing the biting voice, the laughter of the crowd ceased abruptly. They saw Yun Chuxue's eyes emanating a bloody light, which felt unsettling.

Huai Que had been watching the situation from the sidelines.

"Today, you can go meet your ancestors."

At that moment, Yun Chuxue suddenly disappeared, and screams came from behind. "Ah ah ah..."

Hua Jinxi turned his head, and Yun Chuxue had already killed half of the people and was rushing towards them.

"It's too late to react now."

Immediately, a massacre ensued. Yun Chuxue's energy exploded, seemingly inexhaustible demonic power.

At this moment, a disciple from the demonic sect tremblingly asked, "Since you... you've practiced our sect's technique, why... why would you kill me?"

Without saying a word, Yun Chuxue dealt with him, "Because I hate you."

In an instant, all the guests who came to celebrate were slaughtered.

At this point, the ground was filled with disciples from the Moon Lock Tower, who had already formed a battle formation to defend against enemies.

"Hua Jinxi, are these your sect's disciples? They look more like disciples of the demonic sect."

Yun Chuxue shouted hysterically, followed by a Moon Song Dance Heaven's Demise, causing the entire world to tremble. Thunderous explosions in the sky turned all the disciples who came to defend into dust, and the ground was blasted with a crater hundreds of meters wide.

"Don't," Hua Jinxi gritted his teeth, saying fiercely, "Yun Chuxue, I'll kill you."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Chuxue slapped him to the ground, creating a huge pit. Hua Jinxi's ribs were almost completely shattered.

Yun Chuxue stood before him, resembling a god of slaughter.

"Yun Chuxue, how... how dare you kill me? Aren't you afraid that our sect leader will avenge me?"
