Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1466 Ancient Demonic Corpse
Outside a vast valley in a corner of the Dao Yuan Spirit Realm.

The fierce battle suddenly came to a standstill, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the dramatic changes taking place in the valley.

The three members of the Yin Corpse Sect, in particular, showed expressions of terror.

The vast, malevolent, blood-red demonic energy that enveloped the distant valley was terrifying beyond their current level.

"Young master is in danger!"

Thinking of this, the three of them no longer cared about continuing to kill the other Nascent Soul demon cultivators around them, and rushed madly towards the valley.

Their mission on this trip was not to compete for any opportunities or treasures, but to protect the prodigy of the Duanmu family. If he were to meet with misfortune, the three of them would perish with him.

Before the operation, the young master Duanmu planted a restriction in the souls of the three of them. Once they perished, the restriction would instantly explode, annihilating their souls.

"Do not!!"

Just as the three of them approached the valley, they suddenly sensed that deep within their consciousness, the black, restrictive runes were beginning to exude an aura of destruction.

"Young master! Young master has fallen! No! No!"

boom! boom! boom!
The heads of the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect exploded simultaneously, turning into a rain of blood that sprinkled across the heavens and earth.

"This is?"

This sudden turn of events left the Nascent Soul demon cultivators, who were originally planning to fight back to the death, stunned in place.

They had just begun to despair, but they never expected things to change so quickly.

The two early-stage fourth-tier black-armored corpses that had been launching an attack were now suspended in mid-air, their auras dissipating.

It is clear that the member of the Duanmu family has perished.

call!call!
A tremendous change has taken place.

The blood-red, malevolent demonic energy within the valley erupted once more, spreading outwards to the surrounding world. Seeing this, everyone disregarded everything else and began to flee for their lives in a frantic manner.

Meanwhile, inside the valley.

"I didn't expect this demonic corpse to be even more powerful than I anticipated!"

Li Qing calmly surveyed the surrounding blood-red, ferocious world.

At this moment, the member of the Duanmu family had already turned into a dried corpse, and streams of blood essence fell into the mouth of the demon on the distant white bone giant peak.

When the Demon Meteor Space opened last time, he entered here by accident. At that time, the power that the demon could use was not even enough for the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but now the demon is equivalent to the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

"It seems that the entire small world is collapsing at an accelerated pace, causing the restrictive power that was suppressing the demon to dissipate!"

Although the entire Demonfall Space is extremely fragile, this does not mean that every area is like that. There are still some special areas that are no different from the real outside world due to various ancient powers.

For example, in the valley right now, even though the power unleashed by this demonic corpse has reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, the surrounding world remains incredibly stable.

Just then, the demonic corpse's head turned to look at Li Qing.

It had red hair and fangs, and its head looked very much like a human's face, but its pupils revealed an evil, blood-red light.

Strangely, the head seemed to possess some intelligence, as if it sensed Li Qing's strength and did not rush to attack.

Upon seeing this, a strange idea began to form in Li Qing's mind.

"Could this be a demonic cultivator from ancient times?!"

Upon closer examination, it does seem quite possible.

In ancient times, the demonic path was also incredibly prosperous, with countless demonic cultivation techniques. In pursuit of power, it was not surprising that some would sacrifice themselves to become demonic corpses.

call!call!
At this moment.

A thunderous roar echoed once more from the bottom of the valley, riddled with ravines. Two enormous demonic hands crawled out from the depths of the earth, followed by the appearance of a half-demon body with two black demonic arms each over a hundred feet long.

Under Li Qing's watchful gaze.

The enormous demon head slammed down directly onto the severed demon body. Whoosh! Whoosh! An even stronger crimson demonic light shone forth.

"Give me your life essence!"

The fully fused half-demon corpse not only possessed power approaching the late Nascent Soul stage, but its intelligence also became stronger, enabling it to utter incoherent words.

"There's an unexpected surprise!"

A smile appeared in Li Qing's eyes, and his gaze then turned to another area in the valley.

Within that area, towering silver pillars stood in rows, exuding a powerful suppressive and restrictive force.

Clearly, this demonic corpse was probably dismembered and suppressed during an ancient war, and is now slowly being unsealed as the small world of the Sea of ​​Wheels collapses.

Even after all these long years, this demonic corpse has been preserved, which shows how terrifying it must have been in its prime.

"If I'm not mistaken, what's being suppressed in that area is the remaining body of this demonic corpse!"

The plan is to completely reassemble its demonic body and refine it again, which will definitely create another late-stage Nascent Soul level combatant. It will be just right to leave it to the demonic body in the future.

Give me your essence blood!

With a deafening roar, half of the demonic corpse shot into the sky, and two large black demonic hands slammed down in its face.

That evil, blood-red power made the essence and blood deep within Li Qing's body feel a slight boiling sensation.

call!call!
Li Qing also stopped suppressing his own power.

The ancient gray-white seals that had completely sealed his dantian were slowly drawn away, condensing into a sphere that floated above his dantian.

A mighty torrent of magical power surged forth.

Water swirls and radiance!

A sky full of blue light instantly covered the surrounding blood-red world. Streams of blue light, like liquefied crystals, condensed and shrouded the demonic corpse.

At the same time, a vast, ethereal, pale blue mist slowly descended, giving rise to countless tiny, raindrop-like imprints that intertwined and instantly linked into chains, falling towards the approaching demonic corpse.
Roar!Roar!
The demonic corpse roared furiously, its two demonic hands slamming down repeatedly, launching a powerful offensive. But its struggles were clearly futile, as the Water Spirit Flowing Splendor quickly surrounded it.

The Cloud Water Chains also took the opportunity to fall. The seemingly slender light blue rune chains possessed immense toughness, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break. In a short while, the originally ferocious demonic corpse was completely imprisoned.

"I am Venerable Blood Cloud, hand over your essence blood to me."

Facing the blood-red demonic corpse that was left only with a roar, Li Qing's figure descended from the sky and slowly floated down.

A powerful surge of divine soul energy erupted instantly, forcefully penetrating the demon's corpse and completely erasing its remaining consciousness.

The flowing blue patterns transformed into layers of restrictions, quickly sealing the entire demonic corpse completely.

"It really is a demonic corpse that was once at the Nascent Soul stage!"

Li Qing waved his hand and directly stored it in the Five Elements Valley's small grotto-heaven magic treasure.

The investigation just now has confirmed his speculation.

The seemingly powerful crimson demon corpse was riddled with holes and utterly broken, but even so, the remaining remains were still close to the late stage of the fourth rank, showing that it was extraordinary.

The next moment, Li Qing landed in another area of ​​silver-patterned giant pillars in the valley.

"The Gate of Mysterious Water!"

The pale blue portal, radiating endless mysterious light, descended head-on, carrying the suppressive power of heaven and earth. Boom! Vast swathes of silver-patterned pillars were instantly obliterated.

A pool of silver appeared, and deep within the layers of crumbling restrictions, the lower half of a blood-red demon corpse began to emerge.
-
The core area of ​​Daoyuan Spiritual Realm - Yuanyu.

Within the rolling mountain range, a vast expanse of verdant trees, formed by various spiritual trees, paints the world in a pale blue hue.

Deep within the Lingmu Forest.

Several streaks of light sped away at high speed.

"Senior Brother Zhou, is there really such a legendary ancient jade-patterned purple wood here?"

"Junior brother, don't you believe me?"

“I naturally have complete faith in you, Senior Brother, but the sect has already ordered us to retreat quickly. I'm just worried…” “Junior Brother, rest assured. The Ancestor has already provided a detailed map. This trip won't waste too much time. After we seize the Ancient Jade Pattern Purple Wood, you will definitely get a share.”

"Junior Brother Li, rest assured, with Senior Brother Zhou here, we are sure to gain a great deal from this trip."

He was met with words of comfort from those around him.

Li Minghua suppressed his inner turmoil and said with a gentle smile, "Since my senior brothers are so confident, I am naturally at ease!"

"With the talent that Junior Brother Li has shown, as long as he obtains the ancient Azure Pattern Purple Wood, I believe it won't be long before he reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm. At that time, the Nascent Soul realm will be just around the corner."

"Yes, Junior Brother Li is definitely the most talented person in our Wood Element lineage."

The flattery from the group made a ruthless glint flash in the eyes of the leader, 'Senior Brother Zhou'.

After a while.

The group of six then arrived at their destination.

What comes into view is a huge hill.

Thick, black, iron-clad ancient trees are distributed around the perimeter, like guardians protecting the vast green mist spiritual realm in the center of the hill.

"This is it. Our opponent on this trip is the Black Armor Poison Tree on the outer perimeter."

Only Senior Brother Zhou stopped, then waved his hand, and a series of milky-white, sweet pills fell towards the group.

"This is the Lake Cleansing Detoxification Pill. As long as my fellow disciples take it, they will be immune to the toxins outside."

"Senior Brother Zhou is truly generous!"

The others all looked on with envy.

This Lake Clearing Detoxification Pill is a top-grade third-tier elixir, extremely valuable, even effective against Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

It's likely that only Senior Brother Zhou, from such a prominent family, could be so wealthy as to prepare one for each of them.

"Our lineage is already gradually fading away, so we should support each other. What is a mere antidote pill compared to this!"

Senior Brother Zhou had a gentle and sincere expression.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Minghua's vigilance was heightened once again.

He was all too familiar with that expression.

He always pretended like this within the sect.

The next moment, the group quickly swallowed the antidote pills, and then, led by Senior Brother Zhou, they rushed directly towards the outermost Black Armor Poison Tree.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
As soon as they approached, the black-armored poison trees simultaneously began to revive, their thick branches covered in sharp thorns lashing out at them.

"Junior brothers, give it your all and quickly break free from the entanglement of the black-armored poisonous trees on the outside!"

Under the guidance of Senior Brother Zhou, who went all out.

The six quickly broke through the encirclement of the black-armored poisonous trees and continued to approach the Azure Mist Spirit Realm above.

At this moment.

Several even thicker branches rushed towards the group.

"Oh no, it's a peak third-tier Black Armor Poison Wood!"

Two black-armored poisonous trees, each hundreds of feet tall, surrounded the six people.

Although they were all geniuses of the wood element lineage within Fuling Island, the six of them were only at the late Golden Core stage, and even the leader, Senior Brother Zhou, had not yet broken through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

In addition, the Black Armor Poison Wood has a strong defense, so their attacks probably won't be able to harm it.

"Senior Brother Zhou, this situation seems different from what you described!"

The others quickly looked at the young, handsome man in the lead.

"no the same?"

Senior Brother Zhou's smile grew even brighter: "Of course it's just as I expected!"

Upon hearing this, the others were slightly taken aback.

Before they could think any further, they instantly felt something strange coming from inside their bodies.

Strands of unique pink light erupted from their respective dantian.

"Oh no, that antidote pill is a trap!"

The group stared in disbelief at Senior Brother Zhou, who was highly respected within the sect.

The other party is known in their lineage for their sincerity and gentleness, and they will even use their family connections to help their disciples.

And now, this Senior Brother Zhou has actually used the antidote pill to ambush them.

"Senior Brother Zhou, why are you doing this?"

"I hope my fellow disciples won't blame me!"

At this moment, Senior Brother Zhou's gentle smile was gone; his expression was cold, and his gaze was icy.

"The sect will soon be focusing on cultivating its disciples, and our wood-element lineage also has its share of remarkable opportunities. The existence of you few is a threat to me. Only if all of you perish can I gain the sect's favor and thus obtain that extremely rare Nascent Soul opportunity."

"There is no such thing as the ancient jade-patterned purple wood opportunity here, and even if there were, it is not something we can glimpse!"

As he spoke, Senior Brother Zhou flicked his finger, and another antidote pill quickly fell into his mouth.

But right now.

Li Minghua, whose aura had been rapidly weakening, suddenly changed his weakened state and unleashed a burst of cyan spear energy, thrusting it directly at Senior Brother Zhou.

"How is this possible! How come you weren't poisoned!"

Under Senior Brother Zhou's shocked gaze.

The once gentle and refined junior brother Li now had a fierce expression and his eyes were full of killing intent, just like his temperament had changed drastically.

"Senior brother, are you familiar with my changes?"

Li Minghua's mouth opened slightly, and the Lake Clearing Detoxification Pill flew out instantly.

Several cyan branches, like sharp blades, flew out from his body and rushed towards the opponent.

This Senior Brother Zhou comes from a large family with several Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so he must have many tricks up his sleeve. He can't give him the slightest chance.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the others.

A fierce battle quickly unfolded.

Both sides in the battle were people they had described as having a sincere, gentle, and kind nature.

Seeing those two familiar figures, the chill in the hearts of the other four grew even stronger.

"Wood-Eating Spirit Body!"

"You're actually the legendary Wood-Eating Spirit!"

After several encounters, Senior Brother Zhou, who came from a prominent family, actually recognized Li Minghua's secret.

"Then we can't let you live any longer!"

The killing intent in Li Minghua's eyes grew stronger; he absolutely would not allow the secret of his spiritual body to be leaked.

But just as he was about to make another move.

Boom! !

But then they saw the Azure Mist Spirit Realm in the center of the distant hills suddenly collapse, and a mighty torrent of wood-elemental energy rushed toward them all.
