Chapter 438 The Crow

"A Silver-Armored Corpse..." Yan Chu's eyes flickered. He slowly retracted his Divine Sense and carefully spread it out toward other areas.

On this land, rotting corpses could be seen wandering and patrolling everywhere.

Every few hundred miles, a Silver-Armored Corpse stood guard. Some sat cross-legged on grave mounds, inhaling and exhaling the corpse Qi of the world to Cultivate, while others slept in coffins underground.

Within the Corpse Clan, the hierarchy was strict. Every Silver-Armored Corpse stayed dutifully within its own territory.

Yan Chu also saw a Golden-Armored Corpse in his field of vision.

A Golden-Armored Corpse was equivalent to the Divine Ability Realm of the Human Race. Its whole body overflowed with golden light, as if cast from molten gold, gleaming with a cold, hard metallic luster. It was surrounded by dense Yin-evil Qi and had already reached a considerable level within the Corpse Clan.

However, it did not catch Yan Chu's eye.

The only thing he feared was the Flying Zombie of the Corpse Clan.

The Flying Zombie controlled the Corpse Dao Law and its entire body was difficult to injure with Saint-Grade weapons; it was harder to deal with than a Human Race Saint.

Furthermore, the Flying Zombie's Primordial Spirit had returned from death to life; Yan Chu did not know what kind of Divine Ability they might possess.

Seeing that there were no Flying Zombies within the range of his Divine Sense, he felt relieved.

"Zombies are also alternative living beings. Killing them can also yield Origin!"

Yan Chu recalled the zombie he had killed back in the Tianzhu Mountain Blessed Land, which had provided him with 0.1 Origin.

Thinking of this, he circulated his Cultivation Technique. A dark yellow light suffused his body, and he traveled underground to a spot a few hundred feet away from the first Silver-Armored Corpse he had discovered.

This Silver-Armored Corpse had swallowed the sap dripping from a withered tree and was sitting cross-legged. A pitch-black luster flowed over its silver Physical Body, and a rotten aura emanated outwards.

"It's you!"

The Silver-Armored Corpse was immersed in Cultivation. Suddenly, a black light flashed on the ground below, and two large hands abruptly reached out. The corpse Qi surrounding it was all compressed into the Silver-Armored Corpse's body.

"Hmm??!"

The Silver-Armored Corpse's eyes snapped open, revealing confusion in its gaze.

With a swoosh, before it could react, it was grabbed by the large hands and dragged directly into the ground, unable to make any response.

A black light flashed over the grave mound where it had originally sat cross-legged, and it instantly returned to normal.

Caw! Caw!!!

Several rotting crows on the trunk of a nearby strange tree tilted their heads, looking in the direction where the Silver-Armored Corpse had disappeared, their eyes showing anthropomorphic confusion.

[ host: Yan Chu ]

[ Cultivation: Divine Ability Realm Peak ]

[ Cultivation Technique: Supreme Daluo Heaven (Fourth Level 43.5 / 50) ]

[ Martial Skill: Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying (Perfection), Tathagata Palm (Perfection) ]

[ Divine Ability: Tear, Pure Yang Fire, Heaven-Swallowing, Earth-Destroying... ]

[ Origin: 0.7 ]

"Hmm, one Silver-Armored Corpse is 0.7 Origin. Hehe, there are quite a few such Silver-Armored Corpses within a radius of several thousand miles. As long as I kill a dozen or so, it will be enough for my Supreme Daluo Heaven to Breakthrough to the fifth level. By then, I should be at the Saint Realm!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Chu's mouth.

As long as he was given a little time to develop, he would ascend to a Realm that would leave all of you dumbfounded.

Just wait! It won't be too long!

Throwing the Corpse Pearl dug out from the Silver-Armored Corpse's body into his inventory, Yan Chu traveled through the underground again, quietly sneaking toward the direction of another Silver-Armored Corpse.

Having stayed underground for over a month, all of his Cultivation was used to resist the dense corpse Qi and rotting aura permeating the Guqiu Domain, consuming a great deal. Now, he needed to quickly accumulate enough Origin to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

Outside Shengjue Ridge, in the area of Fusheng Domain adjacent to the Guqiu Domain.

Zhao Yuanren sat cross-legged in the high sky, his gaze crossing the tall, continuous Shengjue Ridge, looking far toward the Guqiu Domain, a sneer appearing on his face.

"Brother Zhao, how is it? Is that Blade Demon still alive?"

At this moment, the drifting clouds in the sky parted, and Dong Ting, dressed in purple robes, and Saint Guo Xun, wearing seven-star Dharma robes, stepped forward.

After more than a month of recuperation, their injuries had completely healed.

A Saint's Physical Body and vitality were incomparably vigorous, sufficient for Rebirth from a drop of blood. As long as the injury was not caused by a Law, it was not difficult to treat.

Even though Yan Chu's Saber Intent had reached the Command Saber Realm, for Dong Ting, it was just a little troublesome.

However, the small part of his body that had been restored still seemed to ache faintly.

Dong Ting touched his restored right arm, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. For him, this was a tremendous humiliation.

Zhao Yuanren withdrew his gaze from the distance and gave a mocking smile:

"Still alive, but this kid is wandering around the Guqiu Domain. He's probably trying to find an opportunity to escape from the Guqiu Domain."

Hearing this, Dong Ting and the other looked at each other and smiled.

They had used their connections to invite five Saints to guard the place along the more than 100,000-mile stretch of Shengjue Ridge, just to prevent Yan Chu from escaping.

No matter how far he escaped, there would be a Saint to block him immediately.

"Hehe, after more than a month of erosion by corpse Qi, this kid is probably unable to hold on anymore, which is why he wants to escape from the Guqiu Domain."

Saint Guo Xun chuckled softly, unable to help but gloat.

Even for him, with Dharma power to protect him, he could not stay in the Guqiu Domain for long. Moreover, the deeper one went into the Guqiu Domain, the shorter the time one could persist.

Yan Chu was merely in the Divine Ability Realm, so his consumption must be even greater.

"By the way." Dong Ting suddenly turned serious and brought up another matter:

"A True Disciple of the Biluo Sect, Ji Hanshi, died at Wuyun Ridge. His Master, Qian Yuan, has come from the Xuanyou Domain to demand an explanation from our three forces for his Disciple!"

Saint Guo Xun frowned upon hearing this: "His Disciple died at the hands of the Blade Demon Yan Chu. This matter is crystal clear. What explanation does he want from us?"

"Sigh! Don't you know what the Biluo Sect is planning?"

"For these years, they have always wanted to insert their hand into the Fusheng Domain. Now, the matter of Ji Hanshi is just an excuse!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuanren snorted coldly. "The Biluo Sect has planted and wooed quite a few forces in the Fusheng Domain, but not a single Saint-Grade force has grown up. This time, they have finally found an excuse."

"Who says not?" Dong Ting's tone was slightly helpless: "Our Sect Master has already sent a message to the Tianshui Holy Land to ask for the Holy Land's opinion. Now that the Ascension Ceremony is approaching, the Tianshui Holy Land probably doesn't have time to pay attention to the Biluo Sect."

"Ever since that legendary Saint Lord succeeded to the position of Sect Leader, the Biluo Sect's strength has grown increasingly powerful, and its ambition has grown larger and larger. Now, occupying most of the Xuanyou Domain is not enough; they also want to stretch their hand into our Fusheng Domain. This is truly..."

Saint Guo Xun spoke unhappily: "For ten thousand years, our three forces have acted as a barrier to guard the Fusheng Domain, keeping the Corpse Clan tightly restricted within the Guqiu Domain."

"If the Biluo Sect wants to enter the Fusheng Domain, then let them first fight a great battle with the Corpse Clan and push our Human Race territory forward by ten thousand miles before talking!"

"Alright!" Zhao Yuanren waved his hand: "These are all things for the leaders of various forces to consider. People of our standing have no right to interfere. Let us focus on the matter at hand first!"

After the last joint pursuit of Yan Chu, the three, who originally did not like each other much, had become somewhat harmonious at this time.

"This little beast has been wandering around these days. I suspect that he might not just be looking for a place to escape; perhaps he is secretly plotting something."
