Chapter 122: The Corpse Opens Its Eyes!

"Brother Mu Bai, what just happened?"

Six lackeys rushed in and saw 'Li Mubai' dressing while turned to the side; they were suddenly struck with terror. Could it really be as Di Tian, who had blocked them earlier, said—that there was an unspeakable secret?

Hearing the noise, Lin Potian woke from his closed-eyed state and said with a faint smile, "Nothing, but since you've all come, don't leave."

The few lackeys were stunned. "What do you mean, Boss Gou?"

"It means, I'm sending you on your way!"

Boom!

Before Lin Potian's words had even faded, and before the group could react, they saw a figure flash past like a ghost, moving with such incomprehensible speed that the shock and confusion still lingered in the eyes of the six lackeys when a line of blood appeared on their necks; fresh blood instantly sprayed out, staining their collars red!

Six rays of profound light flew out from their corpses and submerged into Lin Potian's brow!

At this moment, 'Li Mubai' turned his head back; it was Lin Bufan, the Patriarch of the Lin Family, who had not yet used his disguise!

After absorbing the memories, Lin Potian shook his head and muttered with a chill, "I finally know what this Black Oil actually is, but why does it have to be corpse oil? Ugh...!"

According to the memory of one of them, this mine was the burial ground of Yuan An Zhi Shen. The corpse was massive and its cultivation had reached the pinnacle, so it would not rot, but over the long accumulation of time, the corpse slowly dripped... Black Oil.

Therefore, the Black Oil that these miners and Cai Xukun spoke of came from the corpse oil of Yuan An Zhi Shen!

Tap, tap, tap...!

Di Tian rushed over at this time. Seeing that Lin Potian had killed all these miners, his eyes widened and he said in a choked voice, "Why did you kill them all?"

"Without them to dig Black Oil for me, how are we going to answer to that so-called Cai Xukun when we go out?"

Lin Potian's train of thought was interrupted. He glanced over and said indifferently, "Answer to whom? Who gave us an answer when we arrived in this world?"

Hearing this, Di Tian sensed the deep resentment and dissatisfaction in Lin Potian's tone. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Do you know what the Black Oil they talk about is? It's digging up corpse oil! We are completely out of place in this world, and yet who has given us an answer!" Lin Potian stood up, his emotions suddenly spiraling out of control. What made it even harder for him to accept was that he actually came from this absurd world!

Lin Bufan looked at his ancestor with a pained expression, not knowing what to say.

As the roar subsided, Di Tian took a deep breath, walked over, and patted Lin Potian on the shoulder. He glanced at Lin Bufan to the side, then turned his gaze back to look at Lin Potian like a torch. "I saw your clansmen and the Dragon-man Clan in the Heaven-Reaching Order. We came with you, didn't we?"

"You are the backbone now; you cannot collapse."

"Besides, isn't it just corpse oil? Can it improve cultivation? If it can, then treat life and death with indifference and just fight if you're not convinced!"

Lin Potian was startled. That's right, if he himself collapsed, was he supposed to lead everyone to sink forever in this absurd world?

"Black Oil cannot improve cultivation, but it can increase Original Force and physical strength. As for the Original Force they mentioned, it's something like a rule—at least that's how it is in the memories of these few miners. Let's go." Lin Potian turned, picked up a shovel, and walked toward the depths.

According to the memories of the miners and Li Mubai, Lin Potian already knew where the Black Oil was located.

"Yes, Ancestor!" Lin Bufan quickly followed.

"Alright, let's just do it!"

Seeing this, Di Tian picked up a shovel and followed. He stood by his words: treat life and death with indifference, and just fight if you're not convinced!

Although he didn't know what Original Force was, this Black Oil could improve physical strength, so what was there to consider?

Just do it!

After walking for a while in the dim mine, the torches in the hands of Lin Potian and Di Tian could only illuminate a few feet ahead. The air was filled with an indescribable, decaying stench, as if they had stepped into an ancient and mysterious forbidden land. Directly ahead, there was a massive monster corpse. The monster's body was like a mountain, and its surface was covered in a thick layer of Black Oil that dripped slowly, making a "drip, drip" sound as it hit the ground, which sounded exceptionally harsh in the silent mine.

Even though it had been dead for a long time, the pressure it emitted still made Di Tian feel palpitations. Even from dozens of meters away, he was almost pressed to his knees; as for going up to collect the Black Oil, it was practically a pipe dream!

Di Tian spoke with a trembling voice, "Such strong pressure, what kind of realm is this!"

As for Lin Bufan, he was even worse off. Although he had cultivated for another hundred years in the Heaven-Reaching Order and had improved compared to when he was a newly ascended Great Emperor, reaching the Second Heaven of the Great Emperor realm, he was still not enough to look at in this Endless Divine Land. He was pressed to the ground by the terrifying pressure like a toad, unable to move!

Lin Potian, however, was like a person unaffected. It wasn't that the monster's pressure wasn't strong, but that he simply didn't feel it at all—he felt nothing. He turned his head with a strange expression, "Is there pressure?"

"Your realm is higher than mine, of course you can't feel it!" Di Tian clearly couldn't save face, and he said with slight indignation.

"No, no, no, I mean, does the pressure of this monster, Yuan An Zhi Shen, seem not to target me?" Lin Potian turned back, his brows deeply furrowed. He wasn't trying to act tough; he really didn't feel any pressure.

Just as Di Tian was about to look up and reply, he saw a scene that made his hair stand on end!

That massive monster corpse, under the dim light of the torches, had actually slowly opened its eyes!

Those eyes, like two gloomy lanterns, emitted an eerie light in the darkness, staring quietly at Lin Potian, who had turned around!

"Lin Potian, you... behind you!"

Di Tian warned in horror, his hands and feet turning cold. It was fortunate it was him; if it had been anyone else, they probably would have been scared unconscious!

Lin Bufan was spared; to be precise, because he was pressed to the ground, he had no chance to see Yuan An Zhi Shen open its eyes!

Hearing this, Lin Potian slowly turned his head back and suddenly locked eyes with that pair of eyes as large as small hills!

"Hiss... the corpse opened its eyes."

His heart tightened violently and skipped a beat. Lin Potian could even clearly feel that the eyes of Yuan An Zhi Shen seemed to pierce through his body and look straight into his soul, leaving him unable to move, only able to stand blankly in place, staring back at those heart-palpitating eyes.

What made Lin Potian break down the most was, didn't the memories he obtained say that this Yuan An Zhi Shen was dead?

And based on the state of its corpse just now, it had indeed been dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years!

Then now, there was only one possibility: something inside his body had stimulated it, causing the remnant soul or True Spirit of Yuan An Zhi Shen to have a brief moment of final radiance!

The next second, a voice decayed to the extreme reached the bottom of Lin Potian's heart!

"Yuan Huan, you have come."

"I have come."

Lin Potian answered, biting the bullet, his mood suddenly heavy. This Yuan An Zhi Shen was clearly not calling him, but was talking to the Yuan Beast inside his body, and the name of that Yuan Beast inside his body... was Yuanhuan zhi Shen!
