Chapter 438: Chapter 227: Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi, Midnight Turmoil

Having ventured three thousand miles deep into the wilderness, Wen Jiu only began to have the Five Ghosts unleash the Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi after ensuring no one was within five hundred miles.

The Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi is not a boosting technique; it cannot be gained through experience because it grows with the Five Ghosts’ growth. The stronger the Five Ghosts, the stronger their ghost qi, similar to the Avoidance Technique of Soul Capture Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques.

But fundamentally, the Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques is a technique, while the method of the Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi, strictly speaking, cannot be considered a technique.

However, this does not hinder its powerful lethality, and moreover, each of the Five Ghosts’ ghost qi is different, yet they can complement each other.

In the Five Elements, the Yang Five Elements Wood represents growth, vitality, and the growth of all things.

But in the Yin Five Elements, Yin Wood represents its opposite, death. Unlike the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, which corrodes and destroys, when Yin Wood Ghost Qi envelops a demon beast, the creature it envelops rapidly ages.

In a moment, it will exhaust its lifespan and perish.

Wen Jiu tried to find a Tier Two Lower Grade demon beast, using Yin Wood Ghost Qi to envelop it, and after staining it, it turned into dry bones within one hundred breaths.

Even demon beasts comparable to Foundation Establishment Body Cultivators are like this. As for Qi Refining Cultivators, once stained, even Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators might find it hard to escape death.

In the Yang Five Elements, fire represents heat, combustion, and almost all things that emit light and heat belong to fire. But in the Yin Five Elements, fire instead represents cold, yin chill, and ice cold, capable of extinguishing all things that emit light and heat.

When Yin Fire descends, all warmth is stripped away by Yin Fire. When a demon beast spits fire, if it passes through Yin Fire, it instantly transforms into icy mist. When Yin Fire enters the body, it can cool the demon beast’s heart halfway, turning it into a lifeless ice sculpture.

As for the earth in the Yang Five Elements, it represents the transformation of all things, bearing all things, so earth attribute techniques are primarily defense techniques because it can bear, complementing wood. However, in the Yin Five Elements, earth represents collapse, mire; it cannot bear anything. On the contrary, things that fall onto it sink, and there is no escape from the sinking.

When Yin Earth spreads, a demon beast falling into it is akin to being trapped in a mire; the more it struggles, the deeper it sinks. Until it is completely engulfed by Yin Earth, gasping for breath and perishing. The "gas" here does not refer to air but Spiritual Qi.

The point of engulfing Spiritual Qi is a bit like Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, but not as terrifying.

Where Yin Earth Ghost Qi passes, Spiritual Qi ceases, but once Yin Earth Ghost Qi disappears, Spiritual Qi returns.

"This can be used to trap enemies on a large scale and then supplemented with Yin Wood Ghost Qi; just thinking about it is terrifying."

As of now, his large-scale lethal means are limited to Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, but Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi is extraordinary. Once exposed too often, the trouble is far more dreadful than External Foundation Establishment or Undying Bone.

And ghost qi can precisely serve as a replacement.

In addition, the gold in the Yang Five Elements represents sharpness, severity, and relentless momentum, so gold attribute techniques are nearly all attack techniques, and Sword Cultivators, among others, mostly have Gold Attribute Spirit Roots.

But the gold in the Yin Five Elements completely lacks these characteristics; it is only petty, insidious, and cunning. Where Yin Gold Ghost Qi passes, it can transform surrounding matter, even transform into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

When demon beasts foolishly believe it to be Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi ready for absorption, what they inhale is Yin Gold Ghost Qi. Once Yin Gold Ghost Qi enters the body, it severs meridians, destroys internal organs, wrecks the heart and brain, extremely insidious.

"Even the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone cannot detect much of a clue." Wen Jiu, through the East Spring Undying Bone, carefully perceived Yin Gold Ghost Qi, and couldn’t help but be secretly astonished. If even the Divine Sense of the East Spring Undying Bone barely can, ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection, Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators surely cannot at all.

Just relying on this Yin Gold Ghost Qi, although the Five Ghosts are only Tier Two Middle Realm, they can probably threaten Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators.

Though the threat is limited, it’s enough to injure.

For Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it would likely be fatal.

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone, gazing down at the dense demon qi disguised by Yin Gold Ghost Qi entering the body, his pleasant smile abruptly halted, and then he bled all over and fell in hesitation, feeling shocked.

"If the Law-Devouring Yin Insect is hidden within, this is simply Old Six’s divine technique!" Wen Jiu had a sudden flash of insight.

Finally, Wen Jiu tried Yin Water Ghost Qi again. In the Yang Five Elements, water represents nourishment, and also life. Thus, among water attribute techniques, healing techniques, or pharmacists, are the most prevalent.

Yet in the Yin Five Elements, Yin Water is no sort of nourishment. When Yin Water Ghost Qi transforms into Yin Water and descends, any place touched by Yin Water will rot and decay. Even Tier Two Lower Grade Great Demons struggle to resist.

Even if it’s Tier Two Demon Body, it won’t take long for the flesh to completely decompose. Wen Jiu used Tier Two Demon to perform Corpse Eye, and the demon beast comparable to an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator turned into foul-smelling rotten mud after being corroded by Yin Water for a while, dying in an extremely horrific manner.

Moreover, Wen Jiu discovered that the coverage of Yin Water Ghost Qi is extremely vast. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yin Water Ghost Qi can transform into massive waves, torrential downpours, covering a domain of several thousand feet, killing all within the water.

This ghost qi paired with Yin Earth Ghost Qi.

With the two complementing each other, placed on a large-scale battlefield, it becomes an absolute reaping weapon, cutting lives like mowing grass.

"In the future with the Five Ghosts of Yin Five Elements, without even mentioning anything else, even being besieged by thousands upon thousands of people, I can still massacre upon all directions without needing to escape through Blood Corpse Escape." If it’s not what he wishes, it’s merely a persistence to protect oneself in weak moments. If invincibility is possible, who would choose to endure?

Gathering his thoughts, Wen Jiu had the East Spring Undying Bone bring back the Five Ghosts while starting to carefully feel his own cultivation level.
