After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 1410

Before dawn the next day, Qin He stepped out of the city lord's mansion.

The Black Demon Banner was concealed in his sleeve, and he transformed into a faint shadow, flying towards White Bone Ridge in the west of the city.

The closer you get to the mountainous area, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes.

White Bone Ridge was originally an ancient battlefield left over from antiquity. Broken walls and ruins are half buried in the soil, and rusted spears and broken armor plates are stuck all over the slope.

The ground was covered with a layer of grayish-white bone powder mixed with ancient bones, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

The fog in the mountains is thick and inky all year round. Wherever the fog passes, even the sunlight is swallowed up, leaving only a deathly dark and silent place.

This place has been an ominous place since ancient times. Countless remains of those who died in battle are buried underground, and a faint aura of death lingers around it all year round. Although occasionally a malevolent aura will overflow and cause small-scale disasters, as long as people do not approach within a hundred miles of the ridge, they can live in peace.

Until three months ago, a battle between cultivators broke out here, and nearly a hundred corpses died without being collected. Their resentment intertwined with the death energy of the earth's veins, which made the strangeness of this place intensify, and corpse transformation incidents occurred one after another.

"Something's not right. This mist contains the trigger for the Yin Sha Law."

Long Qingyun's voice came from the Black Demon Banner, his soul shadow showing a hint of solemnity, "It's not just simple earth vein yin energy, it seems to have been nurtured by someone using their own laws."

Qin He nodded, flicked his fingertips lightly with the lotus fire, and a wisp of crimson and blue flame drifted into the mist.

The moment the flames hit the ground, the mist suddenly boiled, and countless mournful cries of souls came from the mist. Those vengeful spirits nourished by Yin energy were forced to reveal themselves by the life and death laws of the lotus fire.

They transformed into translucent black shadows, twisting and howling in the fog, yet dared not approach Qinhe even a step closer.

Three miles into the mountains, the ground began to appear covered with dense runes.

The runes, inscribed with bone ink, were carved into the exposed rock strata. The bluish-black patterns intertwined into an array, faintly conveying the flow of sinister laws.

The array's core was embedded with dozens of cultivator skulls, their empty eye sockets facing the sky, filled with dark red blood ointment that emitted a nauseating stench.

“It is the Yin Nourishing and Evil Gathering Formation.” Long Qingyun’s voice deepened. “It is an ancient evil cultivator’s formation used to condense the Yin Soul Law. It is based on the bones of cultivators and uses the living soul as a guide. On the day the formation is completed, it can create a Yin Evil Sky Curtain, which even saints have to avoid.”

A flash of golden-black lines appeared in Qin He's eyes, and his divine sense spread along the array's patterns.

After his soul was restored and his merits were rebuilt, his divine sense progressed rapidly and is now no weaker than that of a Saint-level expert.

Deep within the formation, a sinister law originating from the same source as the Corrupting Bone Talisman was slowly flowing. That power was chilling and piercing, yet it also carried a deliberately restrained obscurity.

Clearly, the person who set up the formation had already noticed his arrival, but did not act hastily.

"You cowardly rat, hiding your head and tail, dare to use such tricks in front of me."

Qin He snorted coldly, raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the primordial laws intertwined with gold and black suddenly erupted.

The lotus flames in his palm surged, transforming into a crimson and blue fire lotus blade, which he slashed towards the ground formation.

Wherever the blade passed, the air was torn apart, revealing golden cracks in the laws of nature.

The moment the Fire Lotus Blade struck the runes, the dark blue-black patterns flickered violently, and the skull at the array's core suddenly erupted with a shrill scream. Dark red blood ointment transformed into streaks of blood arrows, shooting towards Qin He.

"clang!"

With a flick of his finger, Qin He conjured a barrier of lotus fire. The blood arrow struck the barrier and was instantly burned away, leaving only wisps of black smoke dissipating into the air.

However, the formation did not collapse; the severed runes actually healed under the nourishment of the Yin Sha Law.

“There’s something to it.” Qin He raised an eyebrow. “This formation is connected to the laws of the one who set it up. You can’t break it without severing its source.”

Before the words were finished, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the top of the ridge.

"Old ghost Ziyang, when did you cultivate such flames that you can even see through my Yin Nourishing Formation?"

A figure in black robes emerged from the thick fog, surrounded by a dense aura of death. The skin beneath the robes was a deathly gray, and the eyes were two dark, hollow sockets within which flickered bluish-black eerie flames.

He held a white bone staff in his hand, with a head embedded in the top of the staff. It was the head of the cultivator who had died in battle earlier, and it was now wriggling slightly, with blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.

"Late stage of the Other Shore Realm, no wonder you dared to cause trouble in Changyang County." Qin He's fingertip flickered with lotus flame, and the primordial laws around him quietly spread out. "You dare to cultivate the forbidden techniques of the Divine Court?"

The man in black robes sneered and slammed his white bone staff into the ground.

"The Divine Court? That hypocritical place dares to interfere in my affairs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire White Bone Ridge suddenly trembled.

The runes on the ground lit up, and the dark blue Yin Sha law surged out like a tide. Countless skeletons emerged from the ground, piecing together skeleton warriors, each wielding a bone blade, and surrounded Qin He.

These skeletal warriors were all embedded with bone-corroding runes, making them incredibly fast, and their death aura was almost tangible.

Qin He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure rose into the air. He raised his hand and waved, and the lotus fire transformed into a rain of fire that fell towards the skeletal warriors.

Wherever the crimson and blue flames passed, the bone warriors were instantly burned to ashes, along with the bone-corroding runes within their bodies. Yet, even more bone warriors continued to emerge from the ground.

"It's useless." The man in black robes sneered. "Beneath this White Bone Ridge are already buried the bones of thousands who died in ancient battles. In addition, I have collected the corpses of cultivators over the past hundred years, totaling more than a thousand. They are all nourishment for the Yin Nourishing Array. You can't kill them all!"

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, causing the Yin and evil laws to surge. The thick fog on the ridgetop suddenly condensed, transforming into a giant Yin and evil hand that reached out to grab Qin He.

On that palm, the patterns formed by the Yin and evil laws were clearly visible. Wherever it passed, the space was frozen and covered in white frost, and even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was frozen.

"Insanity!"

Qin He's eyes turned cold, and the golden-black pillar of light within his Qi Sea surged, the primordial laws intertwining with the lotus fire, transforming into a red and blue pillar of law light that crashed towards the Yin Sha Hand.

"boom!"

The moment the laws collided, a deafening roar reverberated throughout the entire White Bone Ridge.

The Yin Sha Hand shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of black mist, but the remaining force of the beam of light did not dissipate, and it blasted towards the black-robed man.

The black-robed man's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his white bone staff, and his body formed a barrier of Yin and evil laws. However, the barrier shattered like paper in front of the pillar of light.

"puff!"

The man in black robes was struck by the beam of light and sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. His body beneath the black robes began to dissipate slightly—his physical body had long since decayed and was only sustained by the Yin and Evil Laws. Now that the laws were damaged, his physical body was on the verge of collapse.

"You... what's the origin of your flames?" The black-robed man was filled with shock and anger, the sinister flames in his eye sockets flickering violently. "The Law of Life and Death... impossible! Even the Fire God Temple couldn't master it back then!"

Qin He slowly approached, his primordial laws locking onto the black-robed man, giving him no chance to escape: "You also know about the Fire God Temple?"

The black-robed man's expression shifted rapidly, then he suddenly grinned sinisterly: "Not only do I know, but I also know where the source of the demonic fire you're looking for is. The fragments of demonic fire scattered from the Fire God Temple back then aren't just these two in your hands..."

However, while he spoke, his hands were anything but still. Taking advantage of Qin He's momentary lapse in concentration, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed the Corrupting Bone Talisman in his palm against his brow. The Yin and Evil Laws surged violently, and his body began to swell, as if he were about to self-destruct his Law Source!

"Trying to take us both down with you?" Qin He's eyes turned cold, and the lotus flame at his fingertips surged, transforming into a fiery lotus that enveloped the black-robed man. The Law of Life and Death instantly activated, forcefully suppressing the man's surging Law Source.

But just then, an even stronger wave of sinister energy suddenly emanated from the bottom of the ridge.

That fluctuation far surpassed that of the man in black robes, carrying a deathly pressure that even made Qin He feel a slight tremor in his heart.

"Oh no! No wonder he's so reckless. He even has a powerful backer in this godforsaken place. Be careful!" Long Qingyun's urgent voice came through.

Qin He suddenly turned his head and looked at the thick fog at the bottom of the ridge.

From the thick fog, a huge black shadow slowly emerged. The shadow was made entirely of bones, stood ten feet tall, and had a huge skull of a demon beast. Dark red flames danced in its eye sockets, and the Yin Sha Laws surrounding it were actually Saint-level pressure.
