Chapter 437 Silver Armored Corpse

"What? Someone from the Lower Realm?! Are you sure?"

This news immediately ignited the entire crowd.

"No wonder this person is so Heaven-Defying, able to injure a Saint with only Divine Ability Realm cultivation! These people who underwent Ascension are all peerless Prodigies and children of Luck from their respective Small Worlds; they are no worse than the Prodigies of our Yuanqing Holy Realm!"

"That is still too Heaven-Defying! I've heard legends of a few who underwent Ascension, but none of them could do something like this!"

"Blade Demon Yan Chu! This person acts without scruples, lawless and unbridled; he truly lives up to the name Blade Demon!"

"Right, he committed such a huge act; how do the Zhao Family, Ziyun Sect, and Tianxing Sect intend to deal with him?"

"What is there to deal with? He fled to the Guqiu Domain, and people from the three major forces are guarding the Shengjue Ridge day and night. Besides slowly rotting away in the Guqiu Domain and turning into a wandering corpse, what other path to survival does he have?"

"That's true!"

Someone sighed softly:

"Those zombies in the Guqiu Domain are most sensitive to the aura of the living. Even if he isn't corrupted by the corpse Qi in the Guqiu Domain, he won't escape being hunted by the zombies!"

"Sigh! It's a pity for such a gifted person who underwent Ascension! If he could grow normally, he would surely break through to the Saint Realm, and who knows, he might even become a Saint Monarch in the future!"

...

In the distance, on top of a tall building, several figures dressed in white shirts with an aura like a cold wave stood by the window, overlooking the street below.

This is Tianyong City in the Fusheng Domain, which belongs to the sphere of influence of another Saint Family, the Han Family. It is a majestic city that has existed for tens of thousands of years, with many practitioners.

Although the Han Family is not as powerful as the three major forces of the Fusheng Domain, there is still a Saint sitting in the Family.

The few people by the window were none other than the members of the Cold Ice Holy Sect who had traveled from the Qiongtian Domain.

The leader was none other than the Third Elder, He Qi.

Because He Qi had an old friendship with the Han Family Old Ancestor, they came to stay in Tianyong City temporarily.

At this moment, He Qi took in the situation below, his expression extremely gloomy:

"Who leaked the identity of Blade Demon Yan Chu?"

"Did I not tell you all not to leak any of the purposes of our trip?"

Behind him, a slightly younger inner sect Elder, Qu Xiangsong, asked carefully:

"Third Elder, this person is now undoubtedly going to die, so what does his identity matter?"

"Foolish!"

He Qi scolded:

"This person can injure the Saint Realm with a Divine Ability and came from the Lower Realm; he must possess great secrets. How could this not attract the attention of others?"

"It is possible that someone will risk entering the Guqiu Domain to capture him. If that happens, wouldn't we return empty-handed and have done the work for others?"

Qu Xiangsong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately turned around, asking the people behind him with a serious face:

"Did any of you leak Yan Chu's identity and the purpose of our trip to the outside world?"

The several Cold Ice Holy Sect Elders and Disciples looked at each other and hurriedly shook their heads:

"No, no!"

"This Disciple absolutely wouldn't dare!"

"Elder, you know me..."

The denials of these few made He Qi frown deeply.

The people behind exchanged glances, and then all adopted solemn expressions, looking straight ahead, appearing very serious.

A few days ago at the Han Family, everyone was drinking and having fun with the Han Family Old Ancestor and others. Getting carried away in conversation, they spilled everything about this trip like beans from a bamboo tube...

Many servants were present at the time...

However, it was Elder Qu who started the topic...

...

In the Guqiu Domain, over two thousand zhang underground.

That day, Yan Chu secretly tunneled for dozens of miles underground and hid in a pit, his entire body connected to the vast earth, becoming indistinguishable from it.

Even a Saint's Divine Sense could not penetrate more than two thousand zhang underground.

Furthermore, Yan Chu connected with the earth using the Supreme Daluo Heaven's Great Immovable Divine Intent, making it extremely difficult to discover him.

He hid in that spot for over a month.

That day, although Yan Chu did not see the battle between the two Saint Monarch-level mighty figures with his own eyes, the fluctuations still reached the underground.

Hiding underground, Yan Chu only felt a chill invade his entire body, and his blood surged from being shaken by the aftermath.

This made him realize that the gap between him and the true powerhouses of the Yuanqing Holy Realm was still immense, so he dared not move at all.

Of course, this also made him incredibly furious.

Since he started his journey, he had never been so disheveled!

So what if it's the Yuanqing Holy Realm?

Dammit! I have a System!

From beginning to end, he never actively caused trouble; it was always others coming to him. Are you allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to defend myself?

For a moment, a heavy sense of malice rose in Yan Chu's heart; he hadn't felt so aggrieved in a long time.

The killing intent he felt toward forces like the Zhao Family, Tianxing Sect, and Ziyun Sect also climbed sharply.

After a long while, his mood slowly calmed down.

Now is not the time for revenge; he needs to raise his cultivation first and advance to the Saint Realm as soon as possible.

He had a tracking mark left by Zhao Yuanren on his body.

If his guess was correct, this mark was related to the Law; only by advancing to the Saint Realm and comprehending the Law would it be possible to erase this mark.

Once he becomes a Saint and erases the mark, he will play with them properly!

"It's been a month; they should have left, right?"

Yan Chu hid deep underground; his Divine Sense could not penetrate the two thousand-plus zhang of soil to see what was happening on the surface.

"Let's go up and take a look first!"

At this time, he definitely cannot return to the Fusheng Domain.

However, the underground environment here is different from the Fusheng Domain; a cold, deathly aura constantly eroded him, wanting to extinguish his vitality.

After more than a month, Yan Chu had already realized the problem with the Guqiu Domain.

There was no problem deeper underground.

But further down, the soil layer had mysterious runes flowing, which were the materialized Earth-elemental Law. It belonged to the Origin Law power after the birth of this Great World, and it was not something he could break through.

And even if he could go down, he couldn't hide underground forever.

With an earth-yellow light flickering on his body, Yan Chu slowly rose to a place three hundred zhang from the surface. His Divine Sense silently penetrated the layer of rotten soil, and the environment on the surface appeared in his mind.

He saw that the rotten earth was covered with mottled, dark brown corpse spots.

Occasionally there were some withered weeds, and in the distance grew a strange, evil tree with a pitch-black body and twisted branches, rooted among the grave mounds, its branches and leaves drooping, dripping thick, ink-colored sap.

Under that strange tree, a tall figure with a silver body sat cross-legged, tilting its head back and opening its large mouth, catching the drops of black sap.

Caw! Caw!!!

On the branches of the strange tree, several rotten black crows circled, constantly emitting hoarse calls.

"This is the rumored Silver-Armored Corpse!"

Yan Chu recognized the Origin of the silver figure at a glance.

Among the zombie Ranks, a Jumping Zombie is equivalent to the Heaven-Man Realm of martial arts cultivation, with an incredibly strong Physical Body, far surpassing those in the Heaven-Man Realm who have opened their Physical Body Divine Treasury.

And above this Jumping Zombie is the Silver-Armored Corpse.

The Silver-Armored Corpse has skin and flesh like silver, is hard to penetrate with blades and spears, difficult to injure with peerless divine weapons, and its brute force and defense are several times that of a Jumping Zombie.

It is equivalent to the Realm after the Human Race has condensed their Origin Embryo.

This was his first time seeing a Silver-Armored Corpse.

In the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land of the Lower Realm, he had once killed a zombie; that zombie was the pinnacle of a Jumping Zombie, just one step away from condensing silver flesh and blood.
