Chapter 583

Chu Yu was a Golden Emblem Holy Guard in the Kunyun Sacred Ground. Although his ranking was not high, he was still a Golden Emblem Holy Guard.

Chu Yu could not defend against the One-Armed Zombie's evil technique!

It was obvious how powerful the One-Armed Zombie was.

Of course, there was another reason. Chu Yu coveted the treasure in the box. Otherwise, he could have escaped.

"Die!"

The One-Armed Zombie roared. Corpse qi and evil qi burst out, shaking the surroundings.

In the hall, Chen Yu, Jiang Chen and Yun Fei 'er's hairs stood on end. They felt a terrible danger.

The One-Armed Zombie was far superior to the Dark Bronze Zombie in terms of consciousness, strength and techniques.

Now that Chu Yu was dead, the remaining few were not confident that they could deal with the One-Armed Zombie.

If they were not careful and were injured by the One-Armed Zombie's techniques, the consequences would be dire.

Killing intent surged in the One-Armed Zombie's eyes. He mobilized his strength and was ready to attack.

But suddenly, a loud and horrifying roar pierced through the earth and the palace, reaching this place.

Everyone felt a strong sense of danger just by listening to the sound.

Moreover, they were unable to determine exactly where the voice came from.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.

On the other side, the One-Armed Zombie froze when he heard the roar. He turned to look behind him and murmured, "Sect Master …"

Seeing this scene, Yun Fei 'er and the others' eyes flickered, and they immediately retreated.

Chen Yu was about to leave when he saw the wooden box with the broken protective formation.

Dong dong! Dong dong dong!

Chen Yu's Qi erupted and his speed increased sharply. He turned into a black shadow and rushed over.

In an instant, Chen Yu grabbed the wooden box.

"You're courting death!"

The One-Armed Zombie reacted. With a ferocious expression, he waved his arm and sent out a greyish white palm light filled with corpse qi.

"Devil Scale Protection!"

Chen Yu activated the second devil pattern and a layer of devil scales formed on the surface of his body.

Crack!

However, when the Corpse Palm descended, the Demonic Scale Protection didn't even last for a moment before it shattered.

The power of the corpse palm was only slightly weakened, but it continued to charge toward Chen Yu.

Seeing this, Chen Yu's palm was instantly covered with the [Blood Glazed Flame], and he activated the first demonic pattern and struck out with his claw.

Boom!

A greyish-white Corpse Qi intertwined with the blood-red flames, causing a shocking explosion.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chen Yu took three steps back, a large wound on his arm.

The corpse energy on the one-armed man's body was astonishing. Anyone who came into contact with it would be infected by corpse poison and begin to rot.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu immediately retreated, not wanting to tangle with the fiend corpses.

The One-Armed Fiend Corpse seemed to be summoned by something. He wanted to chase after Chen Yu and the others, but he seemed to be in a dilemma and did not act immediately.

Seeing that Chen Yu and the others had left through the small passage, the one-armed fiend corpse calmed down a little. He blasted out with both palms, releasing a huge amount of Corpse Qi to seal the purple cabinet before leaving the hall.

Chen Yu, Yun Fei'er, and Jiang Chen returned to the surface through the tunnel.

"Chen Yu, how are you?"

Yun Fei'er asked.

Chen Yu's actions had given them quite a fright.

Previously, Chu Yu had been killed by the One-Armed Fiend Corpse because she coveted treasures, and Chen Yu had done the same thing.

Fortunately, Chen Yu's cultivation technique was good at defense, and the [Blood Glazed Flame] could restrain Corpse Qi, so he did not end up like Chu Yu.

However, Chen Yu had been injured by the Corpse Poison. If he did not find a way to expel it, the Corpse Poison would slowly spread and eventually corrode Chen Yu's entire body, turning him into a zombie.

Yun Fei'er was very worried. She prepared to take Chen Yu to find Yun Guang Yin and ask a half-step Empty Sea Realm expert to expel the poison for Chen Yu.

"I'm fine. I've taken an antidote pill. This poison can't do anything to me."

Chen Yu smiled.

His Secret Pattern Devil Physique was already very resistant to evil techniques and poisons.

In addition, Chen Yu had a mysterious heart, which gave him a shocking recovery rate. The Corpse Poison, which was more severe for ordinary people, was not a big problem for him.

As long as the Corpse Poison was suppressed, he would recover on his own in no time.

The reason why Chen Yu was happy was because he had successfully obtained the wooden box.

Opening it gently, Chen Yu saw a milky white elixir. There seemed to be white light flowing within it, and a dense fragrance wafted out.

"Spirit Cleansing Elixir!"

Chen Yu's eyes instantly lit up.

If a cultivator increased their cultivation too quickly, it would easily leave behind hidden dangers or cause an unstable foundation, which would affect their future potential. The Spirit Cleansing Elixir could solve this problem.

Previously, he was still worried about where to get the Spirit Cleansing Elixir.

With the Spirit Cleansing Elixir, Chen Yu could increase his cultivation without worrying about an unstable foundation.

In addition, Chen Yu still had half a cup of Empty Sea Saint Liquid, a stalk of Demonic Claw Flame King Grass, and a Crystal Essence Elixir. Chen Yu was confident that he could raise his cultivation level to the late-stage Essence Returning Realm in a short period of time!

Roar!

At that moment, there were roars coming from all directions.

It was obvious that they were the roars of the baneful corpses.

Furthermore, the roars were chaotic and numerous. It made one feel a sense of eeriness and terror.

Sou!

Not far away, a baneful corpse flew past and charged into the distance.

"What's going on? These baneful corpses seem to be attracted and summoned by something."

Yun Fei 'er's gaze turned solemn.

Up to now, they had not heard any news regarding the alchemy mighty figure. They could basically confirm that the alchemy mighty figure's residence was not at the Heaven Ascension Door.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Yu suggested.

Yun Fei 'er and Jiang Chen did not object.

In fact, when others discovered such a situation, they could not suppress their curiosity and wanted to investigate.

…

Deep in the Heaven Ascension Door, there was a nine-story gray pagoda.

There were more than ten people gathered in front of the gray pagoda. There were three half-step Empty Sea Realm experts, including Ning Manyao, a red-haired man from the Crimson Rainbow World, and Lv Jingguang from the Skywolf World.

And at that moment, baneful corpses were surging in from all directions.

"What's going on?"

A peak late-stage Essence Returning Realm expert's pupils trembled slightly.

These people had been attacking the gray pagoda's barrier.

The gray pagoda's layout was the best. Furthermore, the gray pagoda was majestic and exquisite. There were definitely treasures inside.

However, the barrier here was of an extremely high level. Although these people knew array formations, they were unable to crack it and could only attack it forcefully.

After a long period of bombardment, the array formation's power was greatly reduced.

Everyone took a temporary break to recover their Yuan Qi. They were prepared to crack the array formation in the next round of attacks.

Suddenly, an astonishing roar came from the gray pagoda. It was hair-raising and reverberated throughout the Heaven Ascension Door.

In the next moment, the surrounding baneful corpses surged in endlessly.

"Die!"

The red-haired man suddenly took out a long, twisted, crimson sword with many sharp thorns on it and slashed forward.

Boom!

In the void, a massive and explosive sword beam whizzed past.

Three baneful corpses were enveloped by the sword beam and were sent flying hundreds of feet away. Their bodies were in tatters as they were incinerated by the flames. Finally, all of them died.

This person was the number one half-step Void Sea Realm expert in the Red Rainbow World, Zou Wentian!

On the other side, Ning Manyao seemed to be surrounded by a blue drizzle. Dense sword beams shot towards all the baneful corpses that approached her.

The Skywolf world's Lv Jingguang cleaved with his palms repeatedly. Gray beams of light swept out, sending baneful corpses flying one after another.

It was still alright in the beginning, but the number of baneful corpses increased. There were even half-step Void Sea Realm baneful corpses.

This scene frightened many people. Even the three half-step Void Sea Realm experts had solemn expressions.

Sou!

A one-armed baneful corpse suddenly jumped out and approached the gray pagoda.

"Scram!"

Lv Jingguang's palm suffused a gray halo as he struck out.

The one-armed baneful corpse had a ferocious expression. He showed no fear as he similarly struck out with a corpse palm.

Boom!

When the two palms collided, Lv Jingguang's palm beam was the first to shatter.

"What powerful strength …"

Lv Jingguang immediately leaped up and dodged the one-armed baneful corpse's attack.

Baneful corpses were covered in poison and were not afraid of Lv Jingguang's poison.

Secondly, baneful corpses were formed over a long period of time. Their psyche and consciousness contained monstrous baneful auras, making them extremely tenacious. Lv Jingguang's psyche attack was not very effective either.

The one-armed baneful corpse was fearless as it approached the gray pagoda. Lv Jingguang was momentarily unable to stop it.

"Slash!"

At that moment, Zou Wentian swept out a stunning fiery Sword Qi.

The surging Sword Qi was extremely hot and had astonishing might. Everywhere it passed, it left a trail of flames that spread out.

Peng!

There was an explosion as the one-armed baneful corpse was engulfed by the fiery Sword Qi. It retreated dozens of steps as its body was burned by the flames.

"This Zou Wentian is so strong."

Lv Jingguang felt indignant. "However, compared to the strongest inherited-teachings disciple of my Skywolf Hall, Baili Feng, he's still slightly inferior."

Although Zou Wentian was strong, two half-step Void Sea realm baneful corpses appeared next.

The number of baneful corpses increased. The dozen or so people guarding the gray pagoda were no match for them. Many of them had already retreated, and he was shocked to discover that as long as they left the vicinity of the gray pagoda, they would not be attacked by the baneful corpses.

Following that, more and more people left the gray pagoda. The three half-step Void Sea realm experts could only temporarily avoid the brunt.

"From the looks of it, the gray pagoda is the target of these baneful corpses."

Lv Jingguang thought to himself. When he recalled the roar that came from the gray pagoda, he had an ominous feeling.

Boom! Bam!

When all the baneful corpses approached the gray pagoda, they attacked in unison, their might shaking the world.

Above the gray pagoda, the baneful aura condensed, transforming into a majestic black cloud.

Under the black cloud of baneful aura, those who harbored resentment and were not mentally strong would even be affected, causing their minds to distort.

That included Zheng Jichou.

"I absolutely cannot let that punk, Chen Yu, leave the Blood Star Domain. I will definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death."

Zheng Jichou's expression turned even more sinister as a faint baneful aura emanated from his body.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

More and more people arrived, including the Skywolf world's half-step Void Sea realm expert, Elder Wu.

Chen Yu, Yun Fei 'er, and Jiang Chen appeared from afar as they watched this scene.

"The array formation is about to crack!"

Said an elder who knew array formations.

Peng!

The barrier around the gray pagoda instantly collapsed.

At the same moment, an astounding corpse aura and baneful aura emanated, stirring the surroundings. It made the black cloud of baneful aura turn even darker, as though it was about to come crashing down. It was extremely stifling.

Boom!

The gray pagoda's door opened as a baneful corpse leaped out.

Upon seeing the baneful corpse, everyone's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

It was tall and skinny, wearing a tattered robe. Its eyes emitted a faint green glow and its body was shrouded in a layer of dark green mist.

No one sensed any Quintessential Essence fluctuations before the green-eyed baneful corpse flew into the sky without any warning!
