263: Corpse Evil

Slaughtering Heaven Plains.

This is a broken world...

The prolonged war once caused severe damage here, so much so that even space and time were no longer continuous.

Li Qi stood on a low hill, his feet on black and red earth, faintly emitting a foul odor.

He looked around, Death Qi permeated the air, and as soon as he arrived, streams of resentment floated over, coiling around his body.

"What a dangerous place..."

"It's simply not a place where living beings should tread!"

Li Qi shook his head and said slowly.

Death Qi erodes the body, while resentment erodes the spirit; it's impossible for any normal living creature to survive in such a place!

Li Qi's arrival also alerted some dangerous presences; a hundred meters behind Li Qi, the shadow of a giant rock subtly wriggled, then rolled like ink, and a dark, shadowy mass slowly approached Li Qi.

This was a distorted shadow, moving silently along the ground; if one didn't directly see it, its existence would be almost impossible to detect.

The shadow drew closer and closer to Li Qi, emitting a deep and obscure malice!

When this distorted shadow was less than ten paces from Li Qi, it suddenly accelerated, transforming into a sharp sword and lunging at Li Qi.

Li Qi remained still the entire time, seemingly unaware of the danger behind him; when the black shadow almost touched Li Qi's back, a blinding flash of fire erupted from Li Qi's back, vaguely revealing the outline of a Palm!

Palm Sun and Moon!

The black shadow was struck by Li Qi's Palm, and the surging fire ignited it; agonizing squeals came from the shadow, and in an instant, it was incinerated by the terrifying flames.

Potential Points +200,000

This was a Lurking Night Shadow, a monster born from shadows.

Lurking Night Shadows dominate the Shadow Law, their strength comparable to cultivators at the "Two Realms" level; their movements are elusive and hard to guard against, making them very dangerous.

But unfortunately, its chosen target happened to be Li Qi.

Among the nine worlds Li Qi had opened, one was precisely the Shadow Realm, so he also had a very deep understanding and mastery of the Shadow Law.

Just as the Lurking Night Shadow was secretly approaching him, Li Qi had already sensed its presence, while the Lurking Night Shadow remained completely unaware, ultimately being instantly killed by Li Qi.

The fiery light of Palm Sun and Moon pierced through the Death Qi here, shining far into the distance and alarming more presences.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten Lurking Night Shadows lunged at Li Qi, their malicious intent firmly locking onto Li Qi's figure.

Li Qi showed no panic at this sight; he stood still, unmoving, and when these Lurking Night Shadows drew near, they were enveloped by a scorching fiery light; after a series of agonizing screams, these Lurking Night Shadows were completely cleared out by Li Qi.

Looking at the increased Potential Points, a faint smile appeared on Li Qi's lips.

Three days had passed since the Slaughtering Heaven Plains appeared, and during this time, Li Qi had repeatedly used Spiritual Turtle Divine Calculation to deduce specific information about the Slaughtering Heaven Plains.

This included what dangers were in the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, how to deal with the monsters within, whether there were other Opportunities besides the Breakthrough Opportunity to the "ten realms," and so on.

It could be said that Li Qi was the person who understood the Slaughtering Heaven Plains the most among everyone.

But understanding alone was not enough; Li Qi also needed some cannon fodder to help him share some of the firepower so that he could move freely in this ancient battlefield.

Lurking Night Shadows were merely the most common type of monster here; there were many more powerful monsters, some of which were so terrifying that even the current Li Qi could not handle them.

One must proceed with caution here!

After killing more than ten Lurking Night Shadows, Li Qi lightly tapped the ground with his toes, quickly leaving the area, his figure disappearing into the depths of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains...

...

Spiritual Turtle Divine Calculation's Four Directions Tracking!

Four turtle shells floated in Li Qi's Palm, aligning with the four directions of heaven and earth, constantly calculating the movements in the vicinity.

This was also a new spell that Li Qi had developed in recent days, specifically for finding paths and detecting dangers in all directions.

Previously, when Li Qi used Spiritual Turtle Divine Calculation, the trigram diagram was too large and inconvenient; for minor matters like calculating a path, there was no need for such a grand display.

The four small turtle shells rotated continuously, and some powerful monsters hidden nearby were quickly calculated by Li Qi; he directly bypassed them and quickly headed in a certain direction.

The monsters of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains are extremely sensitive to the aura of living beings; once they discover traces of a living person, they will launch an relentless attack.

Li Qi took a winding path, avoiding many evil creatures, but his steps still paused involuntarily, and he stood still.

"Can't avoid it..."

A cold malice had firmly locked onto his figure; a certain presence was rapidly approaching!

Just now, Li Qi had deduced that there was a powerful evil creature to his front-left and was about to bypass it, but he was a beat too slow; the other party had already sensed his presence and was rapidly charging towards him.

Soon, Li Qi saw what kind of creature was approaching him.

It was an ancient Corpse Fiend!

If the corpses of the powerful cultivators who had fallen here had not completely decayed, and were instead infected by the boundless resentment and Evil Qi of this place, their bodies would undergo a malevolent transformation... they could become a Corpse Fiend!

And the residual souls of those powerful cultivators would be entangled and imprisoned by the Evil Qi within their corpses, never to be liberated!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"So painful!!!!"

"Die die die die die!!! Kill kill kill kill kill!!!"

The Corpse Fiend's mind was chaotic and deranged, its pair of pale eyes staring fixedly at Li Qi's figure, two points of emerald ghost fire flickering in the Corpse Fiend's pupils!

A loud bang—

The Corpse Fiend's sharp claws tore through the air, the airflow exploding as it clawed towards Li Qi's head.

With a nimble turn, Li Qi dodged the Corpse Fiend's attack; he saw claw shadows constantly waving in front of Li Qi, but they could not touch Li Qi's body in the slightest.

The Corpse Fiends were once supreme powerful cultivators, each possessing astonishing martial arts and heaven-shaking combat power, but unfortunately, it was now merely a corpse, with only one arm remaining, and its mind was unclear, its attacks completely disorganized and unable to threaten Li Qi.

After a brief exchange, Li Qi sighed softly; he was in a hurry and no longer intended to continue entangled with this Corpse Fiend.

Li Qi's eyes flashed with electric light, threads of electricity overflowing from his eye sockets.

Thunder Light Divine Eyes!!!

A purple lightning bolt instantly pierced through the chest of this Corpse Fiend...
