Legend of the Great Sage

oved that striking preemptively would always end up quite fine when getting along with people of the demonic path.

As for destroying the sect master’s soul, she had not done so to vent, but to clear the final obstacle to refining the formation disc.
However, that was still insufficient.
If she wanted to grasp the Umbral Yin Formation of Gathering Ghosts completely, she had to risk her life and enter the centre of the black swirl.

As a result, she stepped into the black swirl resolutely.
In the blink of an eye, all of her flesh had been carved away by the chilly winds, exposing her shiny bones.
They jolted violently as if they were about to shatter.

At the same time, the entire sea of Samādhi Flames of White Bone surged into the black swirl together.

The world was dark and gloomy.
The night was long.

All of the disciples of the Umbral Yin sect raised their heads, completely shaken.
The sea of white flames earlier had been like a nightmare.
Had they woken up from it now?

The pale-white flames in Xiao An’s eye sockets remained calm like before.
Suddenly, a thread of gold flashed by, and the black formation disc in her bony hands erupted with a ring of pale-white fire.
The face of the ghost gradually twisted and changed, becoming a skull.
The outskirts of the black swirl lit up with a ring of white flames as well.

Boom! The Samādhi Flames of White Bone surged out from the centre of the swirl, turning it pale-white and spinning it in the opposite direction.
The Samādhi Flames of White Bone rapidly gathered together like a white sun, illuminating hundreds of kilometers.

The countless disciples of the Umbral Yin sect were immediately blinded by the white light.
The white light clearly possessed no warmth, but they all felt an indescribable scorching sensation from the depths of their souls.
They waved their arms and legs around furiously, but they could not even cry out when they tried to.
They were enveloped in deathly stillness.
Their souls were alight, turning into Samādhi Flames of White Bone and pouring out from all of their orifices.
The flames wrapped around them and reduced them to thousands of white torches.

Xiao An stood in the centre of the swirl as her pure-white jaw opened and closed.
“All Ghost Kings, heed my command.”

The Ghost Kings were all seized by fear, lowering their heads and demonstrating even more subservience than when the two great elders earlier controlled despite knowing that the final fate awaiting them was destruction.
For the sake of convenience, most of their intelligence had been erased by past masters of the Umbral Yin sect.
They only obeyed the controller of the Umbral Yin Formation of Gathering Ghosts.

“Destroy the Umbral Yin sect.”

The Ghost Kings obeyed and lunged towards the disciples of the Umbral Yin sect, carrying out a massacre.

A freakish Ghost King with no arms and several dozen eyes emitted beams of black light from its eyes, which whistled through and crisscrossed the air.

An elder of the Umbral Yin sect activated an escape talisman, turning into a streak of light and fleeing.
However, when he had only flown a few kilometers, he was struck by a beam of black light.
The light around him vanished, and he rapidly withered away.
He turned into a Ghost Commander and tried to continue fleeing, but he was sucked towards the white swirl in the sky.
He caught alight when he was still three hundred meters away, turning into the Samādhi Flames of White Bone and becoming a part of the swirl.

The disciples of the Umbral Yin sect that had not undergone the third heavenly tribulation basically could not put up any resistance against the several dozen Ghost Kings.
It was a one-sided slaughter.

Xiao An did not direct her attention to these battles either.
Instead, she concentrated on the two grand elders, sending over twenty Ghost Kings and ten Skeleton Demons to surround them.
The two grand elders released over a dozen Ghost Kings to hold them off, turning around and fleeing towards the depths of the Myriad Ghosts abyss.

“You want to open the Gate of Hungry Ghosts?” Xiao An said in thought.

Gradually, she broke free from the white swirl.
Her flesh regrew, from the tips of her fingers to her entire arm, before covering her entire body in the blink of an eye.
She seemed even more pure and flawless, absolutely splendid in appearance.

She swept aside her long, black hair and draped the Robes of Mourning over her, descending from above slowly and falling towards the depths of the Myriad Ghosts abyss.

All of the Ghost Kings and Skeleton Demons gathered back together, standing in formation and protecting her sides like a army about to completely destroy the Umbral Yin sect.
