Become a fairy alone

The other corpse demons in the primordial spirit realm did not encounter such great trouble. After being overwhelmed by the fierce attacks of Pig Seven and the others, they were trying their best to move away.

"Where do you think you're going?" Pig Seven chuckled, his rake flashing so fast that only afterimages remained, driving the rat-headed corpse demon in the opposite direction back in defeat.

The Rat-Ken Corpse Demon reacted quickly. Seeing that it was impossible to get rid of him easily, it took a hit from the opponent and retreated backward. Pig Seven and the others calmly gave chase.

Among them, Chi Min, Shi Yu, and Shi Peng were relatively conservative, while Zhu Qi was much bolder. It wasn't that he was really arrogant, but he sensed the fluctuations of the Nine Nether Weak Water in the direction the other party was fleeing. Even if the other party didn't flee in that direction, Zhu Qi still planned to go and investigate.

"It really is the Nine Nether Weak Water." After chasing for a while, Pig Seven saw a black, still lake that spanned thousands of miles. The smooth, mirror-like surface and the eerie aura emanating from it gave Pig Seven a sense of familiarity from the depths of his heart.

This small lake was supported by a strange spatial force, but it was clear that the barrier formed by this spatial force had already been largely breached. It was expected that this small lake wouldn't exist for long before it completely collapsed.

Life has vanished around the small lake; the ancient trees, some hundreds of feet in diameter, and the vigorous vines are nowhere to be seen.

As for the rat-headed corpse demon that had just escaped, it was too late when it discovered this Netherworld Weak Water. A tremendous suction force was pulling it along, but since the rat-headed corpse demon was still some distance from the lake, it could withstand this force.

However, Pig Seven's next few swipes shattered all his hopes. He withstood several of Pig Seven's attacks and was forced back several times. Inevitably, he was dragged towards the small lake by that enormous force.

"No!" the rat-headed ghoul screamed in terror, trying with all its might to break free from the restraints before it. But it could only watch as it drew ever closer to the small black lake.

A terrified scream rang out as the lower half of the rat-headed corpse demon slowly sank into the Netherworld Weak Water, where it was directly dissolved by the powerful corrosive force. The more it struggled, the faster it sank.

In this situation, Pig Seven was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and in the blink of an eye, the rat-headed corpse demon was completely devoured.

Several gusts of wind flashed, and Su Qing, Chi Min, and the others arrived one after another. The few Nascent Soul Ghost Body Realm Corpse Ghosts were not a threat, but this dense forest was much more dangerous. After repelling and killing a few enemies, they did not pursue them relentlessly, but gave up after chasing for a while.

Only Pig Seven chased the furthest, and the others, worried about him, rushed over to reinforce him. They witnessed the Rat-Headed Corpse Demon being swallowed by the Nine Nether Weak Water. At the same time, they also sensed a dragging force emanating from the small black lake, a strange aura capable of devouring souls.

Su Qing and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly withdrew.

"Pig Seven, retreat quickly." Although Su Qing felt that Pig Seven had something to rely on, she still reminded him. She sensed the threat of death from the small black lake.

"It's alright, the Nine Nether Weak Water can't do anything to me. Don't come any closer." Pig Seven laughed and waved his hand, then frowned as he looked at the small black lake.

He didn't understand the laws of space, but he was extremely familiar with the aura of the Nine Nether Weak Water. He vaguely sensed a familiar connection from the small lake, as if this small lake didn't exist alone, but was subtly connected to other places through strange and mysterious spatial forces. The extremely powerful, yet intermittently appearing, dragon aura seemed to be transmitted from this connection.

With his cultivation level, he wouldn't have been able to detect the existence of these spatial veins, but after the Nine Nether Weak Water permeated into these veins to some extent, he was able to gain some understanding of them indirectly through this method.

Just as Pig Seven was pondering whether to personally venture into the small lake to explore, a terrifying fluctuation of magical energy emanated from afar, carrying towards them.

It was Wen He and Luo Qian working together that forced the Kan Ying Corpse Lord and his massive horde of Infant Calamity Corpse Beetles to move in this direction. They also noticed the existence of this small lake.

Kan Ying Shi Jun's face was filled with shock and anger; he naturally saw through Wen He's intentions.

The other side saw that his horde of Infant Corpse Beetles was too large to be completely wiped out in a short time, and they also had to constantly face the risk of him escaping. That's why the two of them joined forces to force him and the entire swarm closer.

Kan Ying Shi Jun was fighting two opponents alone. Under their fierce attack, he was already doing very well to protect himself for the time being. He had no way to reverse the overall situation.

If he doesn't move with the swarm, he will be completely exposed. Without the swarm's cover, he won't last long under the combined attack of Wen He and Luo Qian.

Forced by circumstances, they could only watch as they and the insect swarm drew ever closer to the black lake.

After approaching the lake to a certain distance, the infant corpse beetles in the edge area became completely out of control and were dragged away by the strange force emanating from the black lake.

Hiss... A large number of Infant Corpse Beetles were swallowed by the Nine Nether Weak Water, emitting wisps of gray smoke, which then sank into the water.

Kan Ying Shi Jun looked dejected. With the entire swarm of insects forced into this area, Wen He, who was skilled in spatial power, sealed off the surroundings completely. His chances of escaping safely were now extremely slim, and he had to make a choice.

With a hissing sound, the Infant Corpse Beetles fell onto the black lake surface like raindrops. This swarm of insects, which had once given Wen He and Luo Qian a lot of trouble, was becoming sparse at a visible speed. In just a short while, nearly a third of them had already disappeared.

As the insect swarm dwindled, the space for Kan Ying Shi Jun to maneuver naturally became more limited.

"Heaven-Stabilizing Finger!"

"The gun shakes the very soul!"

Without the interference of the insect swarm, Wen He and Luo Qian had completely locked onto the location of Kan Ying Corpse Lord. Their finger shadows and spear beams crisscrossed, instantly sealing off this space.

Even with his remaining strength, Kan Ying Shi Jun could only manage to hold his own.

Clang, clang—his corpse armor was struck repeatedly, leaving marks of varying depths. Thanks to the astonishing defense of the Infant Yin Corpse Armor, he could still hold out for a while, but the overall situation was already quite clear.

Whoosh! A shadowy ant darted into the battle. It was Su Qing who saw that Kan Ying Corpse Lord was at a great disadvantage and had been forced to the point of having no power to fight back. She was quite tempted and also controlled the Devouring Void Emperor Ant to join the battle.

"Arrogant!" Kan Ying Shi Jun was both shocked and furious. When did a junior dare to challenge his authority like this?

Kan Ying Corpse Lord glanced at the black lake out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. If he wanted to kill him, Kan Ying Corpse Lord would at least drag someone down with him. *Pfft! Pfft!* Struck again, he spat out a mouthful of corpse fluid and staggered in mid-air.

The seemingly disheveled Kan Ying Corpse Lord suddenly roared, and the remaining dozen or so Nascent Soul Body Infant Corpse Beetles, followed by a hysterical wail, exploded with a series of bangs, forming gray corpse rings amidst the astonishing shockwaves.

Under the cover of the swarm of insects, these corpse rings instantly trapped the Void Devouring Emperor Ants, and the eerie corpse aura, along with a portion of the aura of the Infant Corpse Lord, seeped into the ant's body.

In this situation, Su Qing was undoubtedly also impacted. Still some distance from the battle, Su Qing groaned and retreated, her face pale.

Her cultivation level was far inferior to that of Kan Ying Shi Jun. If she were to simply defend and dodge, Su Qing could hold out for a while with her strength. However, by attacking the opponent in the chaos, Kan Ying Shi Jun could easily find an opportunity to counterattack.

Fortunately, Luo Qian and Wen He kept attacking Kan Ying Corpse Lord relentlessly, preventing him from having enough energy. Otherwise, that attack would have been enough to seriously injure Su Qing.

Clang clang... Before Kan Ying Corpse Lord could continue his attack on Su Qing, he was struck twice more by Wen He. With a cracking sound, the incredibly protective corpse armor on his body finally gave way and began to shatter.

Amidst the chaos, the spear's edge and the finger's shadow struck Kan Ying Corpse Lord's brow and dantian respectively. Taking advantage of the moment, the Devouring Void Emperor Ant landed on Kan Ying Corpse Lord's crown and instantly pierced into his brain.

Seizing the rare opportunity, Su Qing forcefully suppressed her injuries and used the Devouring Void Emperor Ant to deliver a fatal blow together with Wen He and Luo Qian.

Kan Ying Shi Jun has nurtured an astonishing number of Infant Robber Beetles within his body, which has been refined into a massive insect lair.

Su Qing's body once existed as an ant nest, and the methods used by both sides were similar. The Devouring Emperor Ants devoured part of her origin and shared part of her fortune, which was of extraordinary significance to Su Qing.

A final glint of cunning flashed in Kan Ying Shi Jun's eyes, which had been devoid of any spiritual light. Under such perilous circumstances, his true form was indeed beyond saving. However, his infant scorpion clone transformed into an infant calamity beetle and, along with the swarm of insects, escaped into the black lake amidst the chaos.

The black scorpion that had been slithering across his body was the key to his ability to move freely in the Nine Nether Weak Waters for a short period of time.

Now that they've entered the Black Lake, it's practically the same as escaping. Although they lost their main body and suffered heavy losses, at least they escaped with their lives, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. They can only settle this blood feud when they have the chance in the future.

Kan Ying Corpse Lord possessed the black scorpion and quickly slithered through the water. He couldn't stay inside for too long and needed to escape Wen He and Luo Qian's sight and divine sense search as soon as possible. He needed to escape through the hidden spatial connection. If he was delayed for too long, his clone would be completely swallowed by the Nine Nether Weak Water.

However, before he could rejoice for long, a dark current surged within the Nine Nether Weak Water, and a rake-like shadow came crashing down on him with incredible speed. While he could easily dodge it from the outside, he was now inside the Nine Nether Weak Water. Even his main body, under severe restrictions, could not completely escape the opponent, let alone his clone.

Black Scorpion tried his best to dodge underwater, but Pig Seven's raft shadows drew ever closer, and waves dozens of feet high surged up the calm lake surface.

"My life is over!" Black Scorpion screamed in despair as he was nailed to the rake, his body then dissolving in the water.

"Haha..." Pig Seven burst out of the water with a loud laugh. Luo Qian, Su Qing, and their group were dumbfounded.

"You were actually able to enter the Nine Nether Weak Water directly?" After the initial shock, Luo Qian and Su Qing were both overjoyed and annoyed. "If only you had come sooner."

"Did Brother Lu's limbs really appear here?" Pig Seven asked.

When this topic came up, Luo Qian and Su Qing nodded with somber expressions, their joy at reuniting with old friends diminished considerably. "It did appear, otherwise I wouldn't have been fighting this old monster Corpse Lord for so long. It's a pity we were just a little short."

Luo Qian, in particular, had just repelled an enemy and was about to risk retrieving Lu Xiaotian's limbs when he was ambushed and injured by Kan Ying Shi Jun.

Wenhe was also very disappointed. If he had arrived a little earlier, he wouldn't have wasted his time.

"Zhu Qi, you were able to escape underwater. What's it like inside? Did you find any of Senior Brother Lu's limbs?" Su Qing asked.

"We were so focused on killing that old monster Corpse King that we didn't have time to do a thorough search. Don't worry too much. As long as Brother Lu's limbs are still there, I will definitely find them," Pig Seven said with a determined expression.

"Then we'll leave it to you." Su Qing and Luo Qian both looked very grateful.

"What are you saying? Back then, when we faced formidable enemies, Brother Lu never thought of abandoning me. Now that Brother Lu is in trouble, it is only right for me to help." Pig Seven waved his hand.

"Pig Seven, be careful underwater too. If you encounter any danger, come back immediately so we can discuss this further. Don't be reckless. Apart from you, we can't move freely in the Nine Nether Weak Waters," Su Qing instructed.

"Within the Azure Wood Sacred Abyss, there are more than just this one lake formed by the Nine Nether Weak Water. Su Qing and I have traveled here, and other demons have also found Senior Brother Lu's limbs in different places."
According to the information we obtained through interrogation, these are all sections of Senior Brother Lu's torso. These lakes formed by the Nine Nether Weak Waters must be connected in some way. They may not appear to be very large, but the search difficulty is far greater than expected. Luo Qian and Su Qing arrived earlier and told Zhu Qi everything they had seen and heard.

“I’ve noticed that too. These Weak Water areas are connected by different spatial passages. The time I spend exploring the Nine Nether Weak Waters may vary, depending on the situation. If I don’t come out in a short time, don’t worry too much. Just wait for my news.” Pig Seven nodded.

"Pig Seven, be careful." Chi Min knew Pig Seven's abilities in the Nine Nether Weak Water, but she still couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, there are many stronger than me on the shore, but once we get to the Nine Nether Weak Water, even ordinary demon lords and ghost lords might not be able to do anything to me, even if they have treasures to protect them." Pig Seven smiled confidently and waved to the crowd. "Without further ado, I'll go down and find out what's going on."

Pig Seven tossed his rake and leaped toward the black lake, laughing loudly as he sang, "The gate to the Weak Water opens to me, I traverse mountains and enter the sea to ask you, Brother Lu, I, Old Pig, have arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, Pig Seven, carrying a rake on his shoulder, his somewhat bulky figure disappeared into a patch of black lake water in the blink of an eye.

Luo Qian, Su Qing, Wen He, and Chi Min looked at the lake surface, now calm again, and felt a strange tremor in their hearts. Zhu Qi, who was usually foul-mouthed and even somewhat cowardly, could actually be so carefree and unrestrained. (End of Chapter)
