"At the end of the last Cultivation Era, the situation began to change."
At that time, in order to craft the Breaking Realm Ship, many Primordial Spirit Great Powers united and started to gather precious materials throughout the world."
Among them, who suggested it remains unknown, but eventually, many righteous Primordial Spirit Great Powers began to join forces."
They started exterminating and settling accounts with those loose evil cultivators with Primordial Spirits."
Ultimately, the vast majority of loose evil cultivators with Primordial Spirits were slain under the alliance of righteous sects."
Their inherited magical treasures and treasures were seized to refine the Breaking Realm Ship."
Only a very few loose evil cultivators either used secret techniques to escape or hid in advance and disappeared without a trace."
Among those few, there was Youming Elder."
"Rumor has it, this Youming Elder was besieged by several righteous Primordial Spirit cultivators by the South Sea but accidentally escaped into the deep sea using an evil technique, disappearing without a trace.
The deep sea is the territory of the Sea Clan, so those righteous Primordial Spirit cultivators did not pursue deeply."
Now it seems, Youming Elder eventually perished."
And his famous magical treasure somehow ended up in the hands of Mr. Meng."
The old Taoist looked at Meng Dian, who was now pale and weak."
Clearly, the grey Ghost Claw was forcibly robbed from his Dantian by Lu Qing, causing him great harm."
But in the eyes of the old Taoist, there was no sign of pity, instead, there was a hint of coldness."
"This Netherworld Ghost Claw is an evil spiritual artifact, this grey energy is condensed from the souls of countless living creatures."
Mr. Meng could refine it to this extent, he must have refined quite a few living creatures, right?"
Once these words were spoken, everyone’s heart and spirit trembled, and they all looked towards Meng Dian."
Meng Dian shuddered, his face turned paler."
He struggled, "Old Taoist, don’t slander me, this magical treasure was obtained by accident, I worked hard to refine it, I’ve never harmed anyone!"
However, regarding his explanation, the old Taoist did not say anything, but still looked at him coldly."
And all the strong ones recalled the evil aura emitted when Meng Dian previously used the terrifying Ghost Claw, and couldn’t help but believe the old Taoist’s words."
At that time, Meng Dian didn’t have a trace of a righteous cultivator, he was simply a demon!"
Feeling the gazes around him, Meng Dian’s expression became noticeably flustered."
Just as he wanted to argue, Lu Qing suddenly spoke:
"The predecessor said that Youming Elder has perished, but I think not necessarily."
"What are you saying, friend?!"
The old Taoist was shocked, looking at Lu Qing eagerly."
Others also turned to look at Lu Qing."
They saw Lu Qing looking at the grey Ghost Claw he had been suppressing the whole time: "Do you agree, Netherworld Old Ghost?"
Netherworld Old Ghost? Within this grey Ghost Claw?!
Everyone’s gaze focused on the grey Ghost Claw."
Then, they noticed, the grey Ghost Claw that was previously struggling and twisting had now become extremely quiet, calmly suspended in mid-air without any movement."
While everyone was puzzled, Lu Qing smiled slightly."
"Since you don’t want to show up, then just die."
After speaking, behind Lu Qing, the phantom of an ancient fire-red Big Cauldron appeared."
Then, the mouth of the cauldron opened and sucked the grey Ghost Claw directly into it."
Countless transparent flames emerged in the phantom of the Big Cauldron, encircled the grey Ghost Claw, burning it."
With Lu Qing’s current cultivation, the Nanming Leaving Fire he summoned was terrifying."
Even without using the true body of the Leaving Fire Tripod, the power of the flames couldn’t be withstood by ordinary spiritual artifacts."
Moreover, the Netherworld Ghost Claw was a kind of evil spiritual artifact that was inherently restrained by the Leaving Fire Tripod."
Plus, it had once been severely damaged and had not yet returned to its peak state."
Burned by the Nanming Leaving Fire, the grey energy emitted sizzling sounds, accompanied by miserable screams, being burned into nothingness."
Listening to the Netherworld Ghost Claw screaming like a living creature, enough to sting the Divine Soul, everyone couldn’t help but change color."
This evil magical treasure was indeed extremely strange, just looking at it made one shiver."
As the Nanming Leaving Fire continued to burn, the amount of grey energy on the Netherworld Ghost Claw rapidly decreased."
Soon, revealing its true form, a gray hideous Bone Claw."
Just as the Nanming Leaving Fire continued to surge, to refine the Bone Claw."
Finally, the existence hiding deep within the Bone Claw couldn’t bear it anymore."
Suddenly, a large amount of grey energy surged out from the Bone Claw, temporarily resisting the burn of the Nanming Leaving Fire."
