The Taiqing Sect was simply too vast; the old Taoist priest Tianji used all his strength to escape.
After his two junior brothers were devoured by the immortal corpses, he was unable to reach the core area of the Taiqing Sect.
"You beast, the core area of my Taiqing Sect is just ahead. If you continue to chase us, you may be annihilated, body and soul. Our Taiqing Sect's founder is in seclusion ahead." The old Taoist Tianji tried to scare away the immortal corpse with this.
"That's perfect. I need a lot more blood to unleash the forbidden technique on my body." The immortal corpse revealed a cruel smile.
Knowing he couldn't scare the immortal corpse, the old Taoist priest could only frantically increase his speed.
However, the immortal corpse was too fast, and the old Taoist priest was still caught up with, and one of his legs was forcibly torn off.
His thigh was also eaten when the immortal corpse chased after him.
"Now you can die."
The immortal corpse caught up with the old Taoist priest once again, and the old Taoist priest chose to self-destruct his physical body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Nascent Soul carried the Mysterious Abacus and escaped a great distance.
But the immortal corpse continued its relentless pursuit and was about to catch up again.
"Let's see if your life is as tough as it seems this time."
The immortal corpse's face revealed a cruel expression.
"I don't want to die!"
The old Taoist priest was accelerating wildly, but the distance between them was still shrinking.
Just as they were about to catch up, an old man with white hair and a white beard blocked the way for the Taoist priest.
The immortal corpse wasn't too surprised and punched the white-haired, white-bearded old man.
The white-haired, white-bearded old man remained unfazed as countless sword energies hurtled towards the immortal corpse.
The immortal corpse didn't flinch at all, grabbing one of the white-haired, white-bearded old men's fingers with one hand.
"Ling!"
The old man with white hair and beard shouted.
Countless light swords surrounded him, rushing towards the swarming immortal corpses.
The immortal corpse was unable to stop in time and was pierced by countless light swords.
Even with a thousand swords piercing his heart, the immortal corpse still managed to grab the white-haired, white-bearded old man's fingers.
As the immortal corpse was sent flying, it also broke the white-haired, white-bearded old man's fingers.
"Second Generation Ancestor, are you alright?"
The Taoist in green robes also came to the Second Patriarch's side, surrounded by a crowd of people.
There were twenty or thirty people in this group, all of whom were the strongest fighters of the Taiqing Sect.
"It only suffered minor injuries. I wonder if this beast has been killed by me after I pierced its heart with ten thousand swords." Jian Guixu said calmly.
If he loses a finger but is still able to kill the immortal corpse, it's not a bad deal.
"You don't need to worry, I'm still alive."
The immortal corpse was covered in wounds, all pierced by lightsabers.
He took out the finger that had been broken off from the Sword Return to Ruins and swallowed it.
As the second-generation patriarch of the Taiqing Sect, Jian Guixu had reached the late stage of the Mahayana realm, and his vital energy far exceeded that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators.
Although it was only a finger of Sword Return to the Void, it was more effective than devouring half of Lingyun Daoist's body.
"Attack! Follow me and kill this man!" shouted the Taoist in green.
The twenty or thirty Mahayana cultivators present all unleashed their spiritual treasures and began to besiege the immortal corpse.
Suddenly, all sorts of lights flew around, and the heavens and earth trembled continuously.
The immortal corpse didn't dodge at all, but instead rushed towards the light.
"ah!"
One of them screamed in agony.
This Mahayana cultivator was disemboweled, and his nascent soul and spirit were devoured by the immortal corpse.
Having devoured Lingyun Daoist and Qingshan Daoist, Lingyun Daoist's immortal corpse regained its strength to what it had before entering the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Due to the activation of the forbidden technique, the immortal corpse had more time to become powerful than before.
"This immortal corpse is beyond your ability to fight. All of you, step back."
Jian Guixu immediately sensed something was wrong; the aura of the immortal corpse had become stronger.
The people of Taiqing Sect were not helping themselves, but rather indirectly helping the immortal corpse.
If the immortal corpse were to devour twenty or thirty cultivators at the Mahayana stage, it would likely be unstoppable.
"Everyone, evacuate immediately!"
The Taoist in green robes also had a bad feeling.
"It's not too late to leave."
The immortal corpse attacked one of the Mahayana stage cultivators, and Jian Guixu quickly helped to defend against it.
But the immortal corpse was not afraid of being injured at all, letting the light sword pierce through its chest.
This Mahayana cultivator reacted quickly and escaped death, but half of his body was torn off.
"Perfect for healing!"
Ignoring its injuries, the immortal corpse swallowed the half of its body it had just acquired.
As he continued to eat, his injuries healed at a visible rate.
"How dare you!"
Sword Returns to the Void is truly enraged, manipulating more lightsabers to fly towards the Immortal Corpse.
Having learned its lesson, the immortal corpse did not engage in a direct confrontation with Jian Guixu, but instead headed towards locking onto the Great Ascension stage of the Taiqing Sect.
Instead, he specifically targets the Mahayana stage cultivators of the Taiqing Sect, killing and then devouring them.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the immortal corpse devoured two more people, and its cultivation level returned to the late Mahayana stage.
"Don't split up and hide. Quickly hide in the sect's main hall and activate the formation inside," Jian Guixu hurriedly transmitted.
The Taoist in green robes led the others to the main hall of the Taiqing Sect.
He activated the main hall's formation and had the strongest people in the center control it, thus preventing the immortal corpse from entering.
The immortal corpse began its frenzied attack, but it couldn't break through the great formation for the time being.
Left with no other option, the immortal corpse could only attack Jian Guixu.
In the clash between Jian Guixu and the Immortal Corpse just now, he held an absolute advantage.
If the immortal corpse hadn't used a desperate method, he might have already killed it.
However, as the immortal corpse successively devoured three Mahayana stage cultivators, the situation has changed drastically.
When Jian Guixu fought against the Immortal Corpse, he was at a complete disadvantage.
