The Purple Bottle Gourd's power was greater than that of the Five Beast Hoops. On the surface, it appeared as though the manner of Grandmother Hui Ling's attack was not as imposing as the Five Beast Hoops. However, He Xiangyu knew, when it came to it, the possibility of defeating the Corpse Puppet or not still depended on Grandmother Hui Ling's ability.

The Purple Bottle Gourd flew to a position above the Corpse Puppet and immediately shot out streaks of purple Qi. The purple Qi agglomerated and formed a cloud. In an instant, a decent sized purple cloud formed in midair.

Grandmother Hui Ling shook her wrist slightly and a cloth sack flew out. Then, the cloth sack shredded into pieces and a large number of spiritual stones fell out.

She had actually chosen the same method as He Xiangyu. Furthermore, she activated the spiritual stones through a blood ritual in her first attack. With her cultivation, the number of spiritual stones that she could activate through a blood ritual was far greater than Heng Xiangyu.

Piece by piece, the spiritual stones were converted into spiritual energy and all of it was absorbed into Grandmother Hui Ling's body. The spiritual power surged. With her cultivation at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm, naturally, Grandmother Hui Ling could contain more spiritual power than He Xiangyu.

The whole palace hall was gradually enveloped in a faint layer of spiritual pressure.

Spiritual pressure was something only advanced immortal cultivators would have. Even though the amount of spiritual power in Grandmother Hui Ling's body could not be compared to that of the Primordial Soul realm immortal cultivators, she would surely have at least ten percent of their power.

Grandmother Hui Ling spat out mouthfuls of blood. Even with her cultivation, withstanding so much spiritual power was almost too much for her, causing her to reach her limits. If this continued, she would certainly explode and die.

She jabbed her finger forwards. The Purple Bottle Gourd suddenly lit up with a great blaze of light. The palace hall was instantly immersed in a sea of purple.

A terrifying aura expanded out, pervading the palace hall. Even He Xiangyu subconsciously shrank back. The aura was too terrifying. If it was aimed at him and he did not have the Five Beast Hoops, he would absolutely have died under such an attack.

The power of the Purple Bottle Gourd was still increasing frenziedly. It gave out a melodious ring continuously, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being filled with spiritual power.

"Purple Qi Sunrise," Grandmother Hui Ling said in a low voice.

She forcefully withstood the internal injuries that appeared and were spreading constantly throughout her body due to absorbing large amounts of spiritual power.

The next moment, the mouth of the Purple Bottle Gourd gradually sprayed out a beam of purple Qi. The beam of purple Qi was different from the surrounding purple Qi. It was very bright, like substantial purple glass. Even in the sea of purple light, it was still exceptionally dazzling.

A horrifying atmosphere emanated from the beam of purple light. The surrounding temperature automatically became colder.

Mo Wen had just escaped the group attack of Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong when he sensed a terrifying aura that was enough to claim his life. His body tensed up instantly, his hair stood on its end and he had goosebumps all over his body. He knew that even though he had many trump cards and treasures with him if he was just a little careless, he might die too.

Mo Wen quickly turned around and looked at what was happening. His pupils contracted as he stared at the purple light. He felt relieved inside. Luckily that streak of purple Qi had not been aimed at him.

"It can actually release such terrifying power. What exactly is that Purple Bottle Gourd?" Mo Wen was shocked. Grandmother Hui Ling had activated the spiritual stones through a blood ritual and had supplied the Purple Bottle Gourd with sufficient spiritual power. However, if the spiritual weapon was not powerful enough to begin with, it would be impossible for it to demonstrate such terrifying power.

He was certain that the power of the Purple Bottle Gourd was equivalent to that of a profound level weapon. Only a profound level weapon could demonstrate such astonishing power even when it was used in the hands of ancient martial art practitioners.

An ancient martial art practitioner with cultivation at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm would absolutely be unable to survive in the purple light. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would probably suffer severe injuries if facing such an attack.

"As expected of the sect with the greatest heritage in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension." A hint of sadness flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Perhaps Grandmother Hui Ling was merely an ancient martial art practitioner who had just broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. However, as long as she had the Purple Bottle Gourd with her, she was comparable to any ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. She even had the ability to kill an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm.

Not every pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would have such a valuable treasure on them. The heritage of the sect would usually be the decisive factor. This was the reason why the treasure of Luofeng Sect could result in so many ancient martial art practitioners coming over to seek it, with no regards for their lives. For sects like Intentionless Sect obtaining just a tenth of Luofeng Sect's treasure, would be enough to raise the sect's heritage to a higher level.

On the ground, the Corpse Puppet seemed to have felt the fatal danger. In an instant, it grew exceedingly agitated, frenziedly struggling in the golden net. Even though the golden net was extremely tough, tears began to gradually appear in it as the Corpse Puppet struggled wildly.

He Xiangyu bit down on his teeth, once again spraying out a mouthful of blood. He frenziedly drew upon the spiritual power in his body. He disregarded his own injuries, seemingly unleashing the power of the Five Beast Hoops to its utmost limit, tightly trapping the Corpse Puppet. He knew that for such a terrifying creature as the Corpse Puppet, they only had one chance. Once their combined attack failed, then they would not have another opportunity.

They absolutely could not let the Corpse Puppet break free. Otherwise, with the Corpse Puppet's ability, it would very likely survive the attack of the Purple Bottle Gourd. One would trap it, one would kill it. There could be no mistakes.

Finally, the Purple Bottle Gourd finished charging. The beam of purple light became a shiny crystal blade. Its bright light seemed to reach the ceiling.

"Slash!" Grandmother Hui Ling pointed and directed the blade. Then she threw up another mouthful of fresh blood. She had already been severely injured before being able to unleash her most powerful attack. If He Xiangyu hadn't been there to trap the Corpse Puppet, she would not have been able to activate such a powerful attack at all.

Swoosh! The purple light became a faint purple shadow, instantly flying towards the Corpse Puppet on the ground.

Roar! Although the Corpse Puppet did not have sentience, it could instinctively perceive its own life and death. The fatal sense of danger made the Corpse Puppet go completely wild. Its blood red eyes shot out two astonishing beams of crimson light. Then, the black crystal bead on top of its head suddenly emitted a bizarre wail. Next, black light permeated the space. It was like a tide, pervading every inch of the palace hall instantly.

A terrifying chill swept out. Everything in the surrounding area was instantly frozen over with a layer of black ice crystals. Even the eight huge stone pillars were turned to ice crystals. Then, crack lines appeared on them little by little until they collapsed. They fell to the ground, scattering crystal light.

Mo Wen's figure shook. Then, as though time had stood still, he was frozen in midair. A terrifying chill swept into his body. It frenziedly attacked his flesh and organs. The surface of his body was covered in a layer of black crystals in an instant.

Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, who had turned around and were preparing to chase Mo Wen, stopped at the same time. Their bodies were frozen in midair too and a layer of black crystals also formed on the surface of their bodies.

On the ground, crack lines had appeared due to the assault of the chill. Even the floorboards that were cast from special materials actually could not withstand such a chill.

Underneath the black crystals, Mo Wen laughed to himself bitterly. In an instant, before he could even defend himself, he had been frozen until he was severely injured. Although he had not died, many organs in his body had suffered problems. His entire being was frozen stiff, unable to move an inch.

At the last moment, the Corpse Puppet had actually grasped the ability to activate the power of the Dark Soul Pearl. The Dark Soul Pearl was absolutely frightening. Although the Corpse Puppet would not necessarily be able to release all the power of the Dark Soul Pearl, even a portion of its power would be enough to completely annihilate an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Also, it was a large area attack. If those ancient martial art practitioners had not retreated from the palace hall, then aside from the few later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners, the rest would almost all have died.

Even Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu were similarly frozen by the chill. However, in their situation, they were clearly better off than the other three. After all, their cultivation was far superior to that of the other three.

Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu just shook their bodies and the black crystals on their bodies shattered one by one, falling to the ground. However, they had ashen complexions and stiff expressions. Clearly, they too were affected by the chill.

Mo Wen was also not slow. Formless flames circulated inside his body. The Spiritless Clean Fire actively protected its master. Although the chill of the black crystals was astonishing, the Spiritless Clean Fire caused them to melt immediately.

However, Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun were not so fortunate. The two of them were trapped in black crystals, unable to move for quite a while. Their bodies could not continue to float in midair and they plunged to the ground.

The golden chain net that trapped the Corpse Puppet was the closest to the center of the black light. It almost instantly turned completely black. Then, crack lines began to form on it one by one.

However, the purple blade that the Purple Bottle Gourd released was not affected at all by the black light, continuing to slash down as usual.

Ptui! A faint dull thud sounded. In the silent palace hall, the sound was exceptionally clear.

A look of delight flashed in Grandmother Hui Ling's eyes. The purple blade had successfully slashed onto the body of the Corpse Puppet.

Roar! A roar that shook heaven and earth sounded furiously. The palace hall shook. With the Corpse Puppet as the center, all the surrounding black crystals shattered.

The golden chain net that had trapped the Corpse Puppet was not able to withstand it anymore and simply turned into dust.

The Corpse Puppet took two steps forward. Jets of black blood squirted out of its figure. The ground was like a creek as blood flowed everywhere.

There was clearly something wrong with one side of the Corpse Puppet's body. It slowly seemed to slant and then separated from the rest of the creature, falling to the ground with a thud.

Mo Wen drew in a cold breath. The Corpse Puppet had actually had half of its body sliced off by the purple light in just one slash. From top to bottom, half of the Corpse Puppet was missing. Even half of its head was slashed off. However, the other half remained standing on the ground. One leg supported it on the ground as its innards spilled out from one side. It was creepy.

Roar! The Corpse Puppet let out a roar of an injured wild beast, then slowly lifted one hand. A little purple bell was tied to its hand. It was the Cries of Hades Bell that all the ancient martial art practitioners had dreamt of getting their hands on.

A crimson light flashed from the hand of the Corpse Puppet. It became brighter and brighter, frantically surging into the Cries of Hades Bell.

"Not good!" Grandmother Hui Ling and He Xiangyu both shouted loudly. Their expressions changed drastically, instantly turning pale. The Corpse Puppet was actually attempting to activate the Cries of Hades Bell! The Cries of Hades Bell was an authentic profound level weapon. One did not need to think to know how powerful it was. With the Corpse Puppet's ability, once it activated it, it would practically be a disaster.

No one had anticipated that the Corpse Puppet, which had no sentience, would actually attempt to activate the Cries of Hades Bell.

Mo Wen's expression also suddenly changed. Without any thought, two masses of golden light shone out from his eyes. The next moment, his soul attack surged at full force towards the Corpse Puppet.
