Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Colossal Bronze Corpse!

Mountain Piercing Escape no longer hesitated.

“Yes, Master.”

They ventured deeper into the Corpse Breeding Ground of the Shimo Sect, where the Evil Qi was as sharp as needles.

As the Qi brushed against the Physique of Mountain Piercing Escape, it constantly produced a clanging sound upon collision.

Fortunately, its Physique was robust enough not to suffer any damage.

Yang Yan, on the other hand, was different; the Evil Qi dared not approach nor touch him!

“The Evil Qi here is so fierce, there must be a lot of powerful corpses being cultivated underground!” Mountain Piercing Escape remarked, holding a lit candle in its hand.

Even in such an environment, the candle in its hand remained lit, still bright.

This made the dozen or so Ghost Shadows around the candle turn pale from blowing.

“This is it, keep digging!”

It placed the lit candle down, clawed to dig.

In the Evil Qi’s gathering place, they dug out more than a dozen coffins.

These coffins were significantly fewer in number, and they were no longer made of wood.

They were made of iron!

From some came sounds, thumping and banging!

It was apparent that the corpses inside had already transformed.

They might not even be ordinary corpses, but more formidable Evil Corpses that surpassed Iron Corpses.

Confronted with over a dozen iron coffins, Mountain Piercing Escape took out a small, specially crafted Daoist Robe.

It put it on itself, retrieved a pendant, hung it around its neck, then approached the iron coffins, muttering incantations.

Carefully, it opened the lid of one coffin, revealing a corpse entirely tinged in blue.

With the coffin lid opened, the corpse stood up.

Evil Corpse!

The first coffin contained one!

And it rose as soon as the coffin was opened!

With a gaping mouth, the Evil Corpse bared its fangs, lunging at Mountain Piercing Escape.

Mountain Piercing Escape nonchalantly stuffed a black hoof it held into the corpse’s mouth.

Immediately, the blue corpse spewed dense corpse Qi and Evil Qi, collapsing thereafter.

At this moment, Yang Yan released his Profound Qi, devouring the Physique of the blue corpse.

Quickly devouring it, leaving only tattered clothes.

Mountain Piercing Escape picked up the black hoof and continued to open the coffins.

Soon, all the more than a dozen coffins were opened, and they all contained Evil Corpses.

Two of the Evil Corpses even showed faint golden spots, indicating they were being nurtured into more powerful Bronze Corpses!

Indeed!

Even if they had become Bronze Corpses, their fate would be no different.

They, too, would be devoured by Yang Yan’s Profound Qi, becoming a source of his power!

And due to the reason of opening the coffins, in such a place dense with Evil Qi,

when these Evil Corpses were cultivated, a few powerful Ghost Shadows also emerged. After appearing, they still gathered in front of the lit candle, blowing at it.

Yet, no matter how they blew, even if they exhaled Evil Qi,

the candle flame simply flickered but never extinguished!

“Master, something seems off!

This is already the furthest part of the tomb, and the Evil Qi is so dense!

Given this range, at least dozens of coffins could be buried.

Yet, the Shimo Sect buried only a dozen or so coffins, and those sparsely!

Not to mention just raising a few Evil Corpses, not a single Bronze Corpse was in sight.

Has the Shimo Sect fallen to such a level?” Mountain Piercing Escape showed a puzzled expression.

It was right, obviously able to bury more corpses, expanding the Sect.

Yet, the Shimo Sect had not done so!

Even the legends of powerful and mysterious corpses supposedly buried in the past were nowhere to be found.

Truly, it made one’s heart perplexed!

“Moreover, with Evil Qi so intense here, aside from the Evil Qi inherently contained within the Corpse Breeding Ground itself,

there should also be Evil Qi emanating from powerful corpses!

Just a dozen Evil Corpses couldn’t possibly emit such fiercely strong Evil Qi!” Mountain Piercing Escape pondered aloud.

Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the area.

Evil Qi permeated, with no coffin left underground.

“Let’s inspect the source of the Corpse Breeding Ground!”

His gaze probed downward, a hint of golden light gleaming in his eyes.

“There’s still a corpse below!” Yang Yan said in a concentrated voice.

Mountain Piercing Escape turned its head, looking toward Yang Yan.

“I knew it, there had to be more.

That corpse must be immensely powerful!

Master, tell me where it is, and I’ll dig it out!”

It rubbed its hands together, eager to display its skills.

“It’s right beneath your feet!

No!

Not right beneath your feet.

But under this entire area, beneath the entire Corpse Breeding Ground!

Your location is at its navel!” Yang Yan said.

Mountain Piercing Escape was startled!

“Such a colossal corpse!”

Then it laughed.

“I’ve been tomb raiding for years, and it’s the first time I’ve encountered such a gigantic corpse.

Fascinating!”

With that, it took out an ebony peachwood sword, grabbed the horsetail whisk, the Seven Stars Sword, the Compass, and other items.

One by one, it arranged them according to the Bagua directions!

“Master, step back a bit, I’m going to start digging.” It adjusted the specially crafted Daoist robe it wore.

Yang Yan’s body floated up, suspending in the air.

“Go ahead and dig!” he looked down at Mountain Piercing Escape and said.

Mountain Piercing Escape waved its claws, starting to dig.

Soon, under its claws, the massive corpse began to emerge.

A glint of golden light appeared, Mountain Piercing Escape’s gaze focused.

“Bronze Corpse, and already fostered into a Great Success Bronze Corpse, it’s reached maturity!

Look, there’s also traces of red and purple.

This looks like it’s about to become a King Corpse!

No wonder the Corpse Breeding Ground of the Shimo Sect lacked many corpses.

Because the Yin Cold Qi and Evil Qi of the entire Corpse Breeding Ground are being absorbed by this corpse.

The few remaining corpses were only nurtured by the Evil Qi released from its body!” It said while digging.

“The corpses dug from this area didn’t even match a strand of its hair’s prowess!”

Mountain Piercing Escape was getting more excited as it dug.

“I thought, even in decline, the Shimo Sect couldn’t possibly fall to the point where not a single Bronze Corpse was cultivated in the Corpse Breeding Ground.

Turns out, they were nurturing one massive entity!”

Mountain Piercing Escape suddenly raised its head.

“Master, you said the Shimo Sect developed another Sect outside the heavens.

Do they nurture even more powerful corpses there?” it asked.

Yang Yan folded his arms.

“They probably do!”

Mountain Piercing Escape laughed.

“I’d love to go directly to their Corpse Breeding Ground and dig up all the corpses they buried to see if there are any good ones.”

Soon, Mountain Piercing Escape had dug all the surface soil in that area.

A massive corpse completely revealed itself in Yang Yan’s view.

Its whole body was golden copper in color, interspersed with red and purple.

Muscles entwined and wrapped, with Evil Qi slowly emanating from the navel.

It was like the spring of a feng shui treasure land, very mystical!

On its forehead, there was a Jade Talisman.

“This corpse is simply perfect!

Filled with Evil Qi, naturally generating Yin Cold!

A powerful Physique without any flaws!” Mountain Piercing Escape tapped on the surface of the corpse.

“In life, it must have been a strong individual, practicing Physique Power.

Now dead, nurtured to a Great Success Bronze Corpse, its Physique Power is extremely potent!

Let alone Dragon Transformation Realm, even in the Immortal Realm and King Realm, it could physically resist and rival them!

But what kind of race could grow to such colossal size?”

It looked up at Yang Yan.

“Master, it is currently being suppressed by the Jade Talisman.

Please communicate with it, refine it, and take control!”

Yang Yan nodded slightly.

This colossal corpse, he thought, bore a resemblance to the Witch Divine Clan.

“Control it first, and then gradually explore!”

He immediately released Divine Thought, entering the corpse’s mind, consolidating into a figure in its mind.

And within the Sea of Consciousness in the corpse, all was dark; upon his entry, the darkness surged.

A massive figure appeared, its scarlet eyes meeting Yang Yan’s gaze.

Within its body, there seemed to still be a Ghost Shadow nearing the Ghost King Realm being nurtured.
