Chapter 591: Chapter 0586: Approaching the Late Stage (Part 2)

Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid was indeed a powerful tonic for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu immediately activated the mysterious suction of his heart, accelerating the absorption of the medicine’s effects.

Immediately, the speed of the medicinal power increased, rushing through all the meridians in Chen Yu’s body.

Only his physique could withstand such a fierce onslaught of medicinal power.

Indeed, Chen Yu could have proceeded slowly and cautiously, but he was short on time and eager to enhance his cultivation level, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

A day later, Chen Yu had absorbed and refined about fifty percent of the half cup of Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid.

By then, Chen Yu had grown accustomed to the impact of the medicinal power and even felt it was nothing much.

Thus, he simply took out a “Crystal Yuan Pill” and swallowed it.

The Crystal Yuan Pill was capable of refining True Yuan and promoting advancement in cultivation level, similar to the effects of the Sky Sea Holy Liquid, with only some minor differences. Furthermore, taking the Crystal Yuan Pill had no lingering worries, which was precisely why the pill was so precious.

After swallowing the Crystal Yuan Pill, a powerful force burst forth within Chen Yu’s body, flowing through all his meridians.

The effects of the Crystal Yuan Pill and the Sky Sea Holy Liquid did not conflict but were quickly absorbed by Chen Yu.

Normally, cultivators took a steady and firm approach to cultivation, Chen Yu’s impatient method had significant drawbacks.

However, he possessed a Washing Spirit Pill that could resolve these drawbacks, so Chen Yu was not worried; he would focus on breaking through to the late phase first.

Outside.

The powerhouses of the Three Realms joined forces to fight against the Evil Corpse and solve the Array.

Comparatively, fighting the Evil Corpse was more dangerous.

Though the Half-step Sea Level Evil Corpse had left with the Sky Passage Sect Master, there were no Half-step Sea Level cultivators among those fighting the Evil Corpse.

Almost every day, there were casualties.

And the next day, new personnel would be replenished.

To the eight Half-step Sea Level powerhouses, these people were merely pawns in their quest for the ultimate treasure.

“Miss Yun, I didn’t see Chen Yu.”

Jiang Chen said blandly as he approached Yun Fei’er.

Yun Fei’er looked slightly stunned, then her face filled with disappointed anger.

Chen Yu was clearly injured, yet Shen Han insisted on having him face the Evil Corpse. Now it seemed he was more likely to be dead than alive.

But in her impression, Chen Yu was a mysterious and powerful figure; how could he have met with an accident so soon?

On the other side, Shen Han also received this news.

“Brother Shen, this kid is out of luck; he vanished on the first day, probably surrounded and killed by the Evil Corpse,” said Deng Kuan, laughing nearby.

Chen Yu’s disappearance brought him immense satisfaction.

“That’s not necessarily the case; maybe he’s hiding somewhere.”

Shen Han’s expression remained somber; without seeing the corpse, he would not readily presume a person’s life or death.

“But, if he shows up again, I can use this as a reason to teach him a lesson.”

Shen Han added.

Though he said this, Shen Han hoped more that Chen Yu was already dead.

“Brother Shen, how much longer until we can leave this damned place?”

Deng Kuan inquired.

Being trapped here, unable to go anywhere, surrounded by Evil Corpses, and worrying about the Sky Passage Sect Master obtaining the treasure and coming back to kill them…

These oppressive, nerve-wracking days were incredibly draining on the spirit.

“It will probably take seven days!”

Shen Han looked deep into the distance.

At this moment, Array Masters were busy within the black palace, and some were busy at the boundary’s edge.

Several Half-step Sky Sea powerhouses and other top experts were constantly attacking the weaknesses in the Array in the sky, weakening the Array’s power.

Sky-reaching Sect was once the world’s top force; its gate-protecting grand Array was extraordinary, and even after being abandoned for hundreds of years, it was not something that could be easily broken.

“Brother Shen, with Zou Wentian’s skills, breaking through to the Sky Sea Realm shouldn’t be a problem, right? If he breaks through, wouldn’t solving this Array be easier?”

Deng Kuan inquired.

Although the book given by the Holy Land before coming here stated that after entering the Blood Star Realm, one should not rashly break through to the Sky Sea Realm.

But the reasons and consequences were not clearly stated.

“He certainly can break through, but not here.”

Shen Han seemed to know something and responded.

“Why?” Deng Kuan was very curious.

“This time, the Sky Wolf Realm sent six Half-step Sky Sea individuals, and I heard that one of them started his retreat to hit the Sky Sea Realm as soon as he arrived.”

“The result, after his breakthrough, was that he faced rejection from the entire world, triggering various crises wherever he went, and eventually, he had to reluctantly return to the Sky Wolf Realm.”

Shen Han shared what he knew and his speculations: “The structure of this world is still very intact, and the master might be dead, but the Blood Star Realm still retains its original defense measures. Once a foreigner with cultivation reaching the Sky Sea Realm appears, they will be rejected and targeted by the entire world!”

“That’s so bizarre?”

Deng Kuan felt it was somewhat incomprehensible and strange.

However, it didn’t have much to do with him as he was far from reaching the Sky Sea Realm.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu, engrossed in his cultivation, lost track of time.

His consciousness was completely focused on cultivation, his True Yuan Lake spinning rapidly and expanding continuously.

Four days later, Chen Yu had completely absorbed the medicinal effects of half a cup of Sky Sea Holy Liquid and the Crystal Yuan Pill.

“I’m very close to the Late Guiyuan Realm now.”

Chen Yu slightly opened his eyes.

Compared to five days ago, his True Yuan Lake had expanded considerably, and his True Yuan had become more refined.

Logically, Chen Yu should have rested for a while, and it wouldn’t take long for him to naturally break through to the Late Guiyuan Realm.

But he hesitated not at all, taking out the Demon Claw Flame King Grass and swallowing it in one gulp.

The medicinal effect of the Demon Claw Flame King Grass was extremely fierce; the moment he swallowed it, he felt as if a volcano had erupted inside him, a scorching hot power seething and flowing inside him.

At this moment, the impact of the Demon Claw Flame King Grass’s medicinal power was several times more intense than that of the Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid.

Instantly, Chen Yu’s body became burning hot, steam emitting from his body, and he couldn’t help but grunt a few times.

Although extremely uncomfortable, Chen Yu’s cultivation level was indeed nearing the Late Guiyuan Realm.

Inside his body, his True Yuan Lake stirred crazily, becoming extremely turbulent.

“Taking this medicine with an unstable foundation can indeed lead to accidents, leading to a decline rather than an increase in cultivation.”

So, most people who obtain the Demon Claw Flame King Grass will try to refine it into an elixir before taking it.

Buzz!

Chen Yu immediately activated the Secret Pattern Demon Body to strengthen his physique.

After activating the Demon Body, Chen Yu found that his resistance to the burning flames increased significantly, and the force of the flames even helped to temper his Secret Pattern Demon Body.

In this way, Chen Yu focused all his consciousness on refining his True Essence and advancing his cultivation, making it much more secure.

The sixth day.

Bang boom!

The array of the Sky-reaching Sect suddenly shattered.

“It’s broken!”

“Success!”

The powerhouses of the Three Realms couldn’t help but cheer.

“I didn’t expect it to be a day earlier than we anticipated, which is great.”

Shen Han revealed a faint smile.

“Let’s go!”

Zou Wentian was the first to fly up, turning into a fiery red light, and he flew downward to start descending the mountain.

Following him, people from the Chi Hong Realm all rushed to descend.

Afterward, almost everyone began moving, swarming down the mountain.

“The Sky Passage Sect Master knows the location of the treasure, I wonder if it’s still there after six days!”

“If the Sky Passage Sect Master gets the treasure, we can’t do anything about him. Once he grows stronger, killing us would be as easy as flipping his hand, so I hope he hasn’t succeeded.”

“After descending the mountain, spread out to gather information, we must find out where the Corpse Dao True Essence in the Sky Sea Realm is!”

Various people continuously discussed, each more anxious than the last.

At the very end, Yun Fei’er looked back one last time at the ruins of the Sky-reaching Sect before also descending the mountain.

Six days had passed, and the array was broken. If Chen Yu was hiding, he should have come out by now.

So, there was only one possibility left: he was dead!

When everyone left the Sky-reaching Sect, the Evil Corpses there also began to move, all descending the mountain.

However, suddenly, in one of the buildings, a startling fluctuation of True Essence burst out.

Boom!

A powerful, domineering wave of demonic force rose to the sky, turning into a vast black demonic cloud. Inside it, something terrifying seemed to be present, continually rolling and devouring the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This scene attracted many Evil Corpses.

“What’s going on here?”

An Evil Corpse at the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak said in confusion, and entered the palace.

In the end, he discovered a closed secret chamber, from which intense and horrifying fluctuations emanated.

Time slowly passed, and the area near Chen Yu’s closed-door cultivation had attracted five Evil Corpses.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the demonic cloud had transformed into a huge black vortex, its range swallowing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi growing even more massive.

Inside the secret chamber, Chen Yu’s True Essence Lake suddenly trembled violently, spinning rapidly like a vortex, slowly expanding.

Buzz!

At a certain moment, the True Essence Lake stopped expanding, and the spinning speed also slowed down significantly.

After a long while, the True Essence Lake returned to calm.

And the demonic force and strange phenomena between heaven and earth also disappeared.

“It worked!”

Chen Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a large breath of foul air.

Feeling his own power, Chen Yu found that his cultivation seemed not very stable due to too rapid an increase.

But he was not worried; a Washing Spirit Pill could solve this problem. However, Chen Yu didn’t have time to take it right now; it was better to check the situation outside first.

Just as he opened the secret chamber, Chen Yu saw an Evil Corpse at the Late Guiyuan Realm stage.

Seeing Chen Yu was human, the corpse’s expression turned extremely fierce, and it erupted with corpse energy, its claws reaching out.

“Both at the Late Guiyuan Realm stage, just how big is the gap?”

Chen Yu smiled faintly, activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body, operated his Demon Pattern True Essence, and threw a punch.

Bang boom!

The demonic Qi and corpse Qi exploded, sending a dark shadow flying out and crashing harshly in the distance.

Howl!

The Evil Corpse got up and roared madly.

Though it wasn’t dead, its arms were broken by Chen Yu’s punch.

Chen Yu’s True Essence was stronger than the Evil Corpse’s Corpse Dao True Essence, and his force broke its arms, making it hard to heal even as a zombie.

A same-tier Evil Corpse was crippled by Chen Yu with one punch, losing its ability to fight!

Roar!

The other Evil Corpses nearby furiously pounced, including one at the Peak of the Late Guiyuan Realm with long hair.

“Die!”

Chen Yu took out the Demon Flood Dragon Sword, executing the Devil Wind Sword Technique.

After swinging the sword over a dozen times, all the corpses except for the long-haired one were dead, and he himself was completely unharmed.

Demonic Sword Whirl!

Chen Yu continued wielding his black sword, a series of fierce demonic sword Qi rapidly shooting out, forming a vortex of demon swords.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The demonic sword vortex rushed towards the long-haired Evil Corpse, viciously slicing his body and tearing nearly a hundred wounds, completely severing both its arms.

“Die!”

Chen Yu executed the Demonic Qi Fierce Slash, splitting it in two with one sword; the Peak Late Guiyuan Realm Evil Corpse was dead.

A Peak Late Guiyuan Realm Evil Corpse was roughly equivalent to the strength of a normal Golden Emblem Holy Guard.

This meant that now, normal Golden Emblem Holy Guards facing Chen Yu had almost no resistance, and even among the top-ranked Holy Guards like Yun Fei’er and Yan Gao, Chen Yu still had a good chance of winning.

“Everyone’s gone… I hope I’m not too late!”

Chen Yu glanced around, the great array was broken, and he quickly departed.
