331: Those great demon corpses are all treasures!

The golden crow set in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds, with swathes of fiery clouds covering the horizon. Even though it was nearing sunset, the air still held a hint of mugginess.

The autumn season still carried a touch of heat, much like the restless hearts of the many Cultivators in Bai Ye City who were watching the distant battlefield.

"What exactly happened in the Viper Sea Domain? Such dense dark clouds enveloped the entire sea domain; what on earth transpired inside?"

A tall, arrogant-looking Cultivator, his gaze now solemn, exuded a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm aura that was faintly discernible.

"This looks somewhat like a barrier, sealing off the entire Viper Sea Domain. Experts from Feiyu Hall, Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, and those top-tier forces are all trapped inside."

"It seems another force is targeting them. Perhaps, behind all of this, there's an invisible grand hand secretly manipulating things."

The Cultivator's words caused some of the powerful figures from surrounding forces to frown.

What did he mean by "all of this"?

In reality, it hinted at the deaths of many Saints in Suspended City, and also the incident where experts from Six Mansions and Twelve Caves went to question Feiyu Hall and Canxing Hall, only for many more Saints to die.

Those with discerning eyes had noticed some clues, but no one would overly debate the issues involved.

The struggles between top Schools were not something outsiders like them could participate in.

"Your so-called secret force manipulation is nothing more than your conjecture. Don't forget, behind these top forces stand the Great Sects of various Domains!"

"Holy Heaven Demon Sect, Dianxing Academy, Eastern Extreme Divine Cult, Hunyuan Immortal Palace, South Sea Divine Sect, Tianjue Dharma Sect—which one of them is easy to deal with? Who would dare to scheme against their people? That's asking for death!"

An old Cultivator with an aged face and withered body held a pot of wine, drinking and silently refuting.

"The Immortal Great Sects of the Four Great Domains are countless, and it's not just these Great Sects. How can you be so sure that a School of similar level isn't targeting them?"

The tall Cultivator shook his head, speaking with a hint of disdain.

The two did not continue to elaborate on the topic. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the sea domain shrouded in dark clouds.

No one believed that these top-tier forces could be so easily wiped out!

"Look!"

Someone spotted the distant dark clouds disappearing, causing all the Cultivators waiting for the outcome to leap up and fly towards the Viper Sea Domain.

These Cultivators were not affiliated with the top forces and did not believe anyone would attack them, so they were naturally unafraid to go investigate.

This was not uncommon in the Inner Sea region.

Soon, the Cultivators from the city arrived on an island not far from the Viper Sea Domain. When they looked again, the barrier that had enveloped the sea domain had completely vanished!

"Such… such a strong smell of blood! What… what happened inside?!"

A nauseating smell of blood permeated the air. Looking out, countless floating corpses drifted in the sea, and one area was stained red with blood!

Large numbers of corpses of those who had awakened their Bloodline or activated their ancient Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters bodies fell into everyone's view.

Each floating corpse shocked everyone's eyes!

"Elder Bu Xiu!"

"That's Elder Cui Yu, Elder Fei Bo of White Tiger Mansion, and Elder Chen Yuan of Black Tortoise Mansion… Hiss… They're all dead!"

"This… Is this Hell on earth? Who killed them? And who could possibly kill them?"

Every Cultivator revealed a look of horror!

Outside the Viper Forbidden Ground, large numbers of Cultivators lay dead, the smell of blood pervasive and terrifying beyond compare!

Experts from Feiyu Hall, Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, and many other major forces, none were spared!

"Chaos! The Inner Sea is truly going to be in chaos! Old Master Situ's prophecy seems to have really come true!"

The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm old man even forgot to pick up his wine, staring at the floating corpses and muttering to himself.

"So many experts, to be wiped out so quickly—this isn't something one person could accomplish!"

"That black cloud must have been a barrier isolating the sea domain. I'm afraid a force far exceeding their strength arrived here, and many people were involved!"

Since individuals like Bu Xiu, a Heavenly Phenomenon Sixth Level Peak expert, had died, the attackers, in everyone's eyes, must have far surpassed their Cultivation!

Only such incredibly powerful experts could eliminate these masters in such a short time!

"Let's go, quickly leave this place!"

Some were terrified and dared not look any further, fearing they would be targeted by the attacking force.

The Inner Sea was already a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Even Elder-level experts from these top forces had been annihilated; killing Loose Cultivators and second-rate School experts would be done without mercy.

Some left, but some experts remained.

"Good, good that they died! If there's an opportunity during this time, we might even be able to get some treasures from the Viper Forbidden Ground!"

Someone pulled their friend aside, whispering excitedly.

"Indeed, later we'll go check the bodies. These guys were rich beyond measure. The people who attacked probably didn't take everything. If we search carefully, we might still find some good stuff."

"Alright, let's do it. Let's go!"

Some were afraid, but others were incredibly bold.

Many Cultivators had this idea, setting their sights on the floating corpses in the sea.

The dead experts no longer held their former deterrent power.

As for whether their Schools would cause trouble later, that was a matter for the future; getting treasures first was the main priority!

The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm old man saw this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Not even sparing the belongings of the dead, truly cutting off their own retreat."

The old man took a sip of wine, poured some into the sea, then turned and left, showing no intention of staying.

Even if those items were still there, they couldn't possibly belong to them!

"What an old stubborn fool. The people are dead, what's there to be afraid of? Those great demon corpses are treasures! Tendons, flesh, blood—which isn't a Cultivation material? Can't waste them!"

Some Cultivators secretly scoffed, acting with even greater urgency.

However, after experts like Bu Xiu, Fei Bo, Chen Yuan, and Cui Yu were killed, Shen San and Shen Wu had already thoroughly plundered them, not even sparing their bones, flesh, Meridians, or Divine Soul essence. How could they leave anything good for these people?

"Let's go. With these people to clean up for us, even if someone wants to find clues, it will be impossible."

"We need to speed up our actions. The Forbidden Ground's anomalies have started again. I have a feeling that the Inner Sea might not be so peaceful anymore."

Shen San withdrew his gaze and turned to leave with Shen Wu... The world was dim, and cold winds howled!

A young woman in black combat attire, with a cold expression, stood in a barren wilderness. Before her, a ten-zhang tall Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul, covered in scales, roared incessantly at her.

Black Qi billowed around the black-clad young woman, and behind her floated a terrifying phantom of a Divine Palace. Around the Divine Palace, a river of blood encircled it, and endless sinister ghostly Qi emanated from within.

She was like a demoness who had walked out of Hell, covered in sinister ghostly Qi, yet her face was incomparably beautiful. Her slender body, covered by black combat attire, perfectly showcased her exquisite curves.

"After devouring you, it's time to leave here."

Su Mingyue had been here for several days. Compared to when she first entered, she could now be said to have undergone extreme sublimation, with her Cultivation and Divine Soul improving at an astonishing rate every day.

She stood there now, the phantom of the Divine Palace behind her growing more solid, her entire being exuding an aura of supreme nobility!

These Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls were her blood food!

They could strengthen her Divine Soul and rapidly enhance her Cultivation through continuous devouring!

Roar!!!

The massive ancient Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul roared continuously, its eyes devoid of any emotion, utterly cold. However, from its movements, it was clear that its instinct made it want to stay away from Su Mingyue, resisting her approach.

Boom!!!

The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul attacked, its hands like a towering mountain, smashing down towards Su Mingyue.

The instinct for survival made it forget its fear. Its mountain-like hands condensed terrifying Divine Soul power, and as it swung, space vibrated, and endless Dao Patterns emerged!

The formidable power fluctuations were enough to suppress and kill a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Fifth Level expert, but Su Mingyue remained motionless.

"Struggling is meaningless. You've been dead for so many years; existing in the world is suffering. Let me free you!"

Su Mingyue shifted her body lightly, black ghostly Qi constantly emerging around her, suddenly transforming into a terrifying giant hand that directly grabbed at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, Third Layer Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul!

Pfft!!!

The might of the giant hand, carrying irresistible Divine Might, like the oppressive feeling from an ancient god, directly seized the ten-zhang tall Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul in one grab.

Immediately after, endless blood-colored Qi emerged within the black giant hand, rapidly refining the massive Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul until it was purified, and its ferocity dissipated!

Gulp!

Swallowing the Soul Orb in her hand, Su Mingyue couldn't help but burp, a sense of satisfaction rising within her.

As the Soul Orb was swallowed, Su Mingyue's aura grew even more powerful. Her Bloodline expanded, her True Essence circulated faster, and her aura increased extremely rapidly.

Su Mingyue had been in the Inner Sea for several months now.

Initially forced into the Moon Demon Forbidden Land, she had believed death was certain. At that time, her Cultivation was too low; there was no way she could survive in such a dangerous Forbidden Ground.

However, events unfolded completely beyond Su Mingyue's expectations.

The Moon Demon Forbidden Land contained a large number of ancient Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Divine Soul remnants. After countless years of change, these ancient Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Divine Soul remnants had nothing left but their instinctive ferocity, completely devoid of spirituality.

But their Divine Soul power was extremely potent!

Her Myriad Ages Yin Demon Physique was the bane of these Divine Soul remnants. By absorbing a large amount of ancient Divine Soul remnants, her Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds!

She rapidly Broke through to the Divine Profound Realm!

After this transformation, the Myriad Ages Yin Demon Physique finally displayed its terrifying power, comparable to a Divine Body!

After completely flattening the Moon Demon Forbidden Land, she discovered a teleportation array to enter the Inner Sea, thus arriving there and missing her encounter with Shen Tianxing.

After entering the Inner Sea, Su Mingyue truly began to grow from this place.

The Forbidden Grounds of the Inner Sea were all interconnected!

In reality, these were all demons and monsters wiped out by that ancient Azure Dragon mighty being. Their ancestral lands naturally became Tombs, which then became Forbidden Grounds, and each Tomb had a teleportation array.

Su Mingyue traveled through various Forbidden Grounds, constantly devouring the Divine Soul remnants of these ancient Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, and also obtained a large number of treasures for her Cultivation.

To her, the Forbidden Grounds, which Inner Sea Cultivators considered terrifying, were like her own backyard. Every day she devoured Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls and Cultivated to strengthen herself!

Now, after several months, her strength had reached an incredibly formidable level!

Others would take who knows how long to Cultivate, perhaps even their entire lives, to reach her current level, but she, relying solely on the unique resources of the Forbidden Grounds, had journeyed all the way to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!

"It's time to go out. I wonder where Brother Tianxing is. I should go find him."

Su Mingyue looked at the dim world without any lingering attachment. Her current strength was formidable, at least far stronger than when she was in the Great Qi Dynasty.

She felt she now possessed the capital to help Shen Tianxing... In the Void Realm Forbidden Ground, countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls surged out from within.

Outside the entire Forbidden Ground, a massive island was covered with Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, and a bloodthirsty aura permeated the sky.

On the island, over a thousand Cultivators were battling the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls.

Cultivators who had awakened their Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Bloodline floated in the air, their massive bodies like mountain Peaks suspended in mid-air, unleashing powerful punches that killed the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls.

However, there were too many Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls. Even though there were many Cultivators here, it was merely a drop in the bucket, completely insufficient to withstand these frenzied Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls.

Zhou Yuan wielded a long saber, its blade flashing, Saber Qi filling the sky. After the invisible Saber Qi swept through, many powerful Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls were cut down by the saber light.

Boom!!!

In the sky, a powerful Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul appeared, and an incomparably strong Divine Soul power swept forth, directly impacting Zhou Yuan's Divine Soul.

He was a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Sixth Level Cultivator, an Elder of Canxing Hall left here to guard the Forbidden Ground. The Forbidden Ground's recent outbreaks were increasing, and the powerful Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Souls he encountered grew stronger day by day.

The Cultivation of the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul before him was no weaker than his own.

"Good, good! Soul Orbs are great things. The more of you come, the more I'll kill!"

"Mere food, yet you dare to act so ferociously?"

Zhou Yuan swung his long saber, and a fierce Saber Qi soared into the sky, sweeping towards the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters Soul.

In the Void Realm, saber shadows overlapped, countless Dao Patterns intertwined, and a saber phantom suspended behind Zhou Yuan erupted with a fierce edge!

This was his Dharma Aspect, integrating the saber into his Dharma Aspect, making it his primary means of attack!

Boom!

In the Void Realm, that Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters body was not to be trifled with. Its Divine Soul remnants surged back, like a toppling mountain, pressing down and directly shattering Zhou Yuan's Saber Qi!

"You have some skill, but it's not enough. This Soul Orb is mine!"
