Chapter 588: Chapter 0583: Unusual Changes

Chu Yu was a Golden Emblem Holy Guard in Kunyun Sacred Land, not ranked very high, but still a Golden Emblem Holy Guard after all.

Against the evil techniques of the One-Armed Evil Corpse, Chu Yu barely had the power to resist!

This shows just how strong the One-Armed Evil Corpse was.

Of course, there was another reason for Chu Yu’s downfall–he coveted the treasures inside the box, otherwise he would have had the chance to escape.

“Die, all of you!”

The One-Armed Evil Corpse roared, its corpse Qi and Evil Qi erupting, shaking all directions.

Inside the hall, Chen Yu, Jiang Chen, and Yun Fei’er’s body hair stood on end, feeling an immense sense of impending danger.

The One-Armed Evil Corpse’s consciousness, strength, and tactics far surpassed those of the Dark Copper Corpse they had encountered before.

Now with Chu Yu dead, the remaining few were truly uncertain if they could defeat the One-Armed Evil Corpse.

A single careless move would result in severe consequences if injured by the One-Armed Evil Corpse’s techniques.

The One-Armed Evil Corpse’s eyes filled with killing intent as it harnessed its power, ready to strike.

Suddenly, a loud, terrifying roar pierced through the soil and the palace, reaching them.

Just by hearing this sound, everyone felt a strong sense of crisis.

Moreover, they couldn’t determine the source of the sound.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

On the other side, upon hearing the roar, the One-Armed Evil Corpse stiffened; it turned its head towards the back and muttered, “Sect Leader…”

Seeing this, Yun Fei’er and the others’ eyes flickered as they immediately retreated.

Chen Yu was also ready to leave, but his gaze suddenly caught sight of the protective array shattered wooden box.

Thump thump! Thump thump thump!

Chen Yu’s heart raced, his speed surged, turning into a black shadow as he lunged forward.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu grabbed the wooden box.

“Seeking death!”

The One-Armed Evil Corpse reacted, its face fierce as it swung its arm, casting a grayish-white palm of corpse Qi.

“Demon Scale Protection!”

Chen Yu activated the second secret pattern, forming a protective shield of demon scales on his body surface.

Bang crack!

However, when the palm carrying corpse Qi descended, the Demon Scale Protection didn’t last a moment before it shattered.

The power of the corpse palm was only slightly weakened and continued to target Chen Yu.

Seeing this, Chen Yu’s palm instantly filled with Blood Crystal Flame, also activating the first secret pattern, blasting out a savage claw.

Boom pow!

A wave of grayish-white corpse Qi and blood flames intertwined, causing a tremendous explosion.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

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

The One-Armed man was infused with astonishing corpse Qi; touch alone could infect with corpse poison, starting to rot.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu immediately retreated, refusing to entangle any further with the Evil Corpse.

The One-Armed Evil Corpse seemed to be under some kind of summoning, conflicted about pursuing Chen Yu and the others, not taking immediate action.

Watching Chen Yu and the others leave through the small passage, the One-Armed Evil Corpse finally calmed down a bit. With both palms slamming out, it unleashed a vast force of corpse Qi, sealing the purple cabinet and then leaving the hall.

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

“How are you, Chen Yu?”

Yun Fei’er asked.

Chen Yu’s actions just now had terrified them.

Not long ago, Chu Yu was killed for coveting treasures by the One-Armed Evil Corpse, and Chen Yu had just done something similar.

Fortunately, Chen Yu’s Cultivation Technique excelled in defense, and the Blood Crystal Flame could suppress the corpse Qi, so he did not meet the same fate as Chu Yu.

However, Chen Yu had been touched by the corpse poison and if he didn’t find a way to expel it, the poison would slowly permeate and eventually erode his entire body, turning him into a zombie.

Yun Fei’er was very worried, ready to take Chen Yu to find Yun Guangyin, for the powerhouse of the Half-step Sky Sea Realm to help Chen Yu expel the toxins.

“It’s nothing, I’ve taken a Detoxification Pill; these poisons can’t affect me.”

Chen Yu said with a smile.

His Secret Pattern Demon Body was already highly resistant to evil techniques and toxic methods.

Coupled with Chen Yu’s mysterious heart, his recovery power was extremely astonishing; the corpse poison, which would be serious for ordinary people, was not a big deal for him.

As long as the corpse poison was suppressed, it wouldn’t take long before he would heal on his own.

The reason for Chen Yu’s joy was because he successfully seized the wooden box.

Gently opening it, Chen Yu saw a milky white Elixir within that seemed to have white light flowing inside and a rich refreshing fragrance wafted out.

“Washing Spirit Pill!”

Chen Yu’s eyes instantly lit up.

Cultivators who advance their cultivation too quickly risk leaving hidden dangers or causing unstable foundations, affecting future potential, and the Washing Spirit Pill could solve this problem.

Previously, he was still worrying about where to get the Washing Spirit Pill.

With the Washing Spirit Pill, Chen Yu could confidently enhance his cultivation without worrying about an unstable foundation.

In addition to that, Chen Yu also had half a cup of Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid, a stalk of Demon Claw Flame King Grass, and a Crystal Yuan Pill. Chen Yu was confident that in a short time, he could raise his cultivation to the Late Guiyuan Realm!

Roar~

At that moment, roaring sounds came from all around.

Just by listening, it was clear that all these were roars of Evil Corpses.

Moreover, the sounds were erratic and numerous, creating a sense of chilling horror.

Swoosh!

Not far away, an Evil Corpse swiftly flew past, dashing towards the distance.

“What on earth is happening? These Evil Corpses seem to be drawn or summoned by something.”

Yun Fei’er’s gaze was somewhat grave.

By now, they had heard no news about the Alchemy Master. It was almost certain that the dwelling of the Alchemy Master wasn’t the Sky-reaching Sect.

“Let’s go and see.”

Chen Yu proposed.

Yun Fei’er and Jiang Chen did not object.

In fact, upon encountering this situation, everyone found it difficult to suppress their curiosity and wanted to explore further.

…

In the depths of the Sky-reaching Sect, there stood a nine-story grey tower.

Around the grey tower, over a dozen people had gathered, including three at the Half-step Sky Sea level like Ning Man Yao, a red-haired man from the Chi Hong Realm, and Lv Jingguang from the Sky Wolf Realm.

At that moment, Evil Corpses surged in from all directions towards this location.

“What’s going on?”

A cultivator at the peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm asked, pupils trembling slightly.

These people had just been attacking the barrier surrounding the grey tower.

The location and layout of this grey tower were considered the best, and since it was so majestic and intricately built, there were definitely treasures inside.

However, the barrier here was of a high rank, and although some among them were proficient with Arrays, they couldn’t crack it, leaving them no choice but to brute force their way through.

After bombarding the barrier with relentless attacks for a long time, the strength of the Array had drastically weakened.

Everyone took a short rest to recover their True Yuan, preparing for the next round of assault to break the Array completely.

Suddenly, a scream that shook the eight directions came from inside the grey tower, alarming and resounding throughout the entire Sky-reaching Sect.

The next moment, Evil Corpses continually flooded in from the surroundings.

“Die!”

The red-haired man suddenly drew out a twisted, thorny, crimson longsword and swung it down.

Boom! In the void, a massive burst of Sword Qi whistled past.

Three Evil Corpses were enveloped by the Sword Qi and flung dozens of feet away; their bodies were torn apart and fiercely consumed by flames, ultimately leading to their death.

This man was the number one Half-step Sky Sea Realm cultivator of the Chi Hong Realm, “Zou Wentian”!

Elsewhere, blue drizzle seemed to fall around Ning Man Yao, as dense Sword Qi struck at any Evil Corpses that approached her.

Lv Jingguang from the Sky Wolf Realm continuously struck out with both palms, sending waves of dull light sweeping through and tossing Evil Corpses aside.

At first, it was manageable, but then the number of Evil Corpses grew; even Half-step Sky Sea Realm Evil Corpses began to emerge.

This scene terrified many, and even the three great Half-step Sky Sea cultivators had grave expressions.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a One-Armed Evil Corpse leapt forward, nearing the grey tower.

“Scram!”

Lv Jingguang’s palms flickered with a dark glow as he struck out with a palm.

The One-Armed Evil Corpse, with a fierce countenance, showed no fear and countered with a palm of its own.

Boom! The palms collided, and Lv Jingguang’s palm light actually shattered first.

“So strong…”

Lv Jingguang immediately leapt to dodge the One-Armed Evil Corpse’s attack.

Evil Corpses were immune to his poison and not afraid of Lv Jingguang.

Moreover, the formation of these Evil Corpses had taken a long period, their consciousness imbued with a heaven-towering Evil Qi, extremely tenacious. Lv Jingguang’s attacks on their psyche were not effective.

The One-Armed Evil Corpse, fierce and unafraid, pressed towards the grey tower, with Lv Jingguang unable to stop it at that moment.

“Slash!”

Just then, Zou Wentian from elsewhere unleashed a startling blaze of Sword Qi.

The tumultuous Sword Qi was extremely hot and powerful, leaving a trail of flames spreading around as it passed.

Bang! With an explosion, the One-Armed Evil Corpse was swallowed by the fiery Sword Qi, stumbling back dozens of steps, with its body scorched by the flames.

“This Zou Wentian is so strong.”

Lv Jingguang felt somewhat unwilling to accept it, “But still, he’s somewhat inferior to the number one True Disciple of Sky Wolf Hall, ‘Baili Feng.'”

Though Zou Wentian was strong, two more Half-step Sky Sea Evil Corpses soon leaped out.

More and more Evil Corpses appeared, and the small group guarding the grey tower was no match. Many had already evacuated, and to his surprise, he found that as long as he moved away from the vicinity of the grey tower, the Evil Corpses did not attack.

Subsequently, more and more people left the grey tower area, and even the three great Half-step Sky Sea cultivators had to momentarily evade the sharp edge.

“It seems that these Evil Corpses’ target is the grey tower.”

Lv Jingguang thought to himself, recalling the roar from the grey tower earlier, a bad feeling settling in his heart.

Boom, bang, pop! All the Evil Corpses near the grey tower launched an assault simultaneously, their might shaking heaven and earth.

Above the grey tower, Evil Qi condensed into a vast expanse of dark clouds.

Under the Evil Qi dark clouds, those with resentful hearts and weak minds were even influenced, their nature warping.

Among them was Zheng Jichou.

“I absolutely cannot let that kid Chen Yu leave the Blood Star Realm; I will make him wish he were dead.”

Zheng Jichou’s expression grew even more sinister, radiating a faint trace of Evil Qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! More and more people arrived, including the Half-step Sky Sea Realm powerhouse Elder Wu from the Sky Wolf Realm.

Chen Yu, Yun Fei’er, and Jiang Chen appeared in the distance, observing the scene.

“The barrier is about to break!”

A senior who understood Arrays exclaimed.

Bang! The barrier surrounding the grey tower instantly collapsed.

At the same moment, a terrifying burst of corpse breath and Evil Qi exploded outward, alarming the eight directions and causing the dark clouds of Evil Qi above to grow even denser, as if pressing downward, oppressively weighing down on everyone’s hearts.

Boom! The doors of the grey tower flew open, and an Evil Corpse burst forth.

At the sight of this Evil Corpse, everyone present involuntarily flinched.

He was tall and gaunt, wearing a tattered robe, with eerie green lights flickering in his eyes, enveloped by a layer of dark green mist.

Almost before anyone could sense the fluctuation of True Yuan, the green-eyed Evil Corpse took off without warning, soaring into the sky!
