Chapter 120: Above the Forbidden Land (Second Update)

At this moment, the purple sea of light in the sky was colliding continuously with the black array. Neither side possessed spirituality, but clearly, the difference in their inner nature made them unable to coexist.

It was just like these six cultivators who were fighting at the fish-head location right now.

On Ding Ding Xiaohai's side, a long sword danced in his hand, blooming with one sword flower after another formed by the Hua Hai Jing, every one of which contained astonishing killing intent.

There were even talisman treasures used by him, cooperating with his own arts, forming a range like a sea area, making the Sea Corpse Clan member fighting him inside, even if he was powerful himself, not evenly matched for a while.

But foreign substances and corpse poison were the sharp weapons of the Sea Corpse Clan, coupled with their ferocious personality, so overall, Ding Ding Xiaohai was gradually becoming unable to support himself, but he also had trump cards.

And on the Captain's side, the long spear in his hand was like a dragon, extremely fast and varied. Sometimes it swept, sometimes it thrust straight. Looking closely, it seemed as if he were embroidering, or perhaps carving, wandering around the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator fighting him.

Looking at his appearance, he was clearly at ease, and the hand not holding the spear did not even go to cast spells or pinch spells, but was holding an apple and taking a bite from time to time. He even had the spare energy to cheer for Ding Ding Xiaohai.

"Senior Brother Ding is good, Senior Brother Ding is mighty, Senior Brother Ding, add oil."

"Xu..." After cheering for Ding Ding Xiaohai, the Captain was about to cheer for Xu Qing as well, but the moment his gaze swept over, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he almost dropped his apple.

What he saw was Xu Qing holding a dagger in his hand, his whole person's speed already becoming a residual image, sweeping across the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator's body rapidly, and even sprinkling large amounts of poison powder at close range.

It was as if he were testing his own poison path.

Furthermore, while testing the poison, his dagger cut with force, shaving off piece after piece of flesh from the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator's body.

That Sea Corpse Clan cultivator's body was clearly missing a small half, revealing bones. As for the ground... it was all blue flesh and blood.

And Xu Qing's expression did not change in the slightest. Even though blue blood permeated the surroundings, looking shocking to the eye, he still had a serious expression, continuously making moves.

In reality, Xu Qing did not want to be like this. It was just that this Sea Corpse Clan cultivator seemed not to know pain, and most poisons were useless against him.

Even if his neck was cut open, he still attacked fiercely, not wanting his life, often risking his own injury to attack crazily.

The red light in his eyes seemed to want to tear Xu Qing apart.

At the same time, waves of art fluctuations erupted on his body. The inner nature of these fluctuations was not spiritual energy, but foreign substances, forming ghost faces of black mist in his surroundings, rushing toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was not afraid of foreign substances, but he did not want to expose himself here, so while dodging with speed, he also took out talisman treasures to form protection, but his eyebrows still wrinkled.

He discovered that the other party was still ferocious even after being injured to such a degree, which made Xu Qing's killing intent stronger. At this moment, while wandering, the dagger stabbed fiercely toward the other party's head.

The Sea Corpse Clan cultivator's eyes flashed with red light, and his right hand suddenly raised, meeting it directly.

With a 'kacha' sound, relying on his own bones to jam the dagger, this Sea Corpse Clan cultivator opened his mouth fiercely and bit toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's gaze was sharp. He simply did not dodge, but slammed fiercely toward the other party with his head.

With a 'bang', the Sea Corpse Clan member's mouth collapsed, teeth broke, and the head shattered by half under this violent collision.

Xu Qing rushed forward suddenly, and the dagger in his hand slashed fiercely toward the other party.

Arm cut off.

Slashed again, belly ripped open.

The rotten internal organs turned into corpse liquid and flowed out with a 'hua hua' sound. This kind of injury and misery caused this Sea Corpse Clan member, who was about to be dismembered, to reveal rare terror in his eyes.

All this was the reason why the Captain's apple almost dropped.

The Sea Corpse Clan was not without emotions; it was just that their emotions were relatively simple. But no matter how simple, the fluctuations brought by death were still intense. At this moment, as he retreated, this Sea Corpse Clan cultivator did not want to continue fighting and wanted to flee.

But Xu Qing did not agree.

His body rushed forward again, nearing instantly. The dagger danced, and countless water droplets formed to block the four directions, shrouding the Sea Corpse Clan member fiercely.

Amidst the roar, the terror in the Sea Corpse Clan member's eyes grew stronger. This Seventh Blood Child disciple before him felt incomparably strange. His own foreign substances were completely useless against this person. In his cognition, this was impossible.

Even those heaven-defying geniuses of all races who did not have any foreign substances in their bodies were just pure in their bodies, not that they were not afraid of foreign substances. If thrown into a forbidden zone, they would still be invaded.

But this one before him, the integration of foreign substances, actually disappeared completely, as if devoured.

At the same time, the corpse poison that the Sea Corpse Clan was proud of was also of no use to this person. It seemed the other party was not afraid at all. On the contrary, the other party's poison attack made even his own mind unstable.

As for the physical body, because the Sea Corpse Clan did not fear pain, their physical bodies were mostly powerful, but the other party... seemed even more powerful.

And recovery ability—because of the Sea Corpse Clan's own specialty, they had recovery ability far exceeding that of foreign cultivators. It was just that... at this moment, he felt that he was not as good as the other party in this point either.

"What kind of strange existence is this!"

This Sea Corpse Clan cultivator's eyes flashed with red light intensely. He was just about to retreat, but Xu Qing had already neared. As the dagger danced, the ground was once again permeated with blue blood.

It did not take long. Following the dagger's corrosion by the other party's foreign substances and corpse poison, it collapsed with a 'kacha'. The Sea Corpse Clan cultivator seized the opportunity and wanted to flee, but a black cold glint chased after him instantly, piercing through his chest directly.

It was the black iron sign.

The moment it pierced through the Sea Corpse Clan member's chest, the artifact spirit power within the iron sign erupted, forming a Foundation Establishment fluctuation, directly destroying this already riddled and weak body.

With a 'bang', the Sea Corpse Clan member's body exploded directly, scattering all over the ground. At the same time, the black iron sign also returned, returning to Xu Qing's hand.

All the blood stains on it disappeared automatically, as if absorbed.

The Captain on the side looked at the shattered Sea Corpse Clan member on the ground, then looked at the black iron sign in Xu Qing's hand, and finally noticed Xu Qing was looking at himself. He felt a bit embarrassed.

Thus, the long spear in his hand suddenly twisted, actually turning into a stream of water, heading straight for the Sea Corpse Clan member fighting him.

Upon touching instantly, this stream of water wound rapidly, radiating astonishing cold air. In the blink of an eye, it became ice, sealing the Sea Corpse Clan member inside and turning into an ice lump.

This cold was astonishing, seeming to be able to hurt the soul.

Xu Qing's pupils constricted. He faintly felt danger on this ice lump, knowing that this was not ordinary ice, but should contain some unknown power.

"Xu Qing, have you seen? Killing requires artistry; you can't just rely on brute force."

The Captain coughed, raised his chin, ate an apple very proudly, walked up, and tapped the ice lump. Instantly, cracking sounds spread, cracks permeated, the ice lump collapsed, and along with it, the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator inside also collapsed.

This scene caused Xu Qing's wariness to become even heavier. The Great Perfection of Qi Condensation of the Sea Corpse Clan member was clearly much stronger than the same realm of human cultivators. Being able to be easily beheaded like this was enough to prove... the Captain was stronger.

"Also, I think your arts could be improved. You could try integrating poison into your water droplets; that should be more powerful." The Captain swept a glance at the ground around Xu Qing and said a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing felt that the Captain's words made sense, so he nodded seriously.

Seeing that a few words of his had re-established a powerful image in Xu Qing's mind, the Captain was happy.

"Let's go. We must hurry over. If we go late, I'm afraid that kid Zhang San will be gone." The Captain said, swayed, and rushed straight toward the fish eye, not caring about Ding Ding Xiaohai's side.

Xu Qing also did not care. Following the Captain forward, while his mind was reflecting on the Captain's previous move, he was also thinking about his own shortcomings and the Captain's suggestions.

"Captain, is the Sea Corpse Clan a corpse?" Xu Qing asked just as they were about to approach the fish eye.

Rarely hearing Xu Qing ask a question, the Captain's eyes lit up. He coughed, swept a glance at Xu Qing, and spoke calmly.

"This question is worth..."

Xu Qing handed over a large apple, one size larger than the one he had eaten in front of the Captain before.

The Captain paused, muttered a few words, and took a bite after catching it.

"Fine. Considering you are my team member, I will tell you. The Sea Corpse Clan are all corpses resurrected and changed. They themselves are very strange."

"Their clan territory is at the edge of the Ninth Forbidden Zone."

"Do you know what a forbidden zone is?" The Captain looked at Xu Qing.

"Forbidden area?" Xu Qing asked.

"The place where the god opens his eyes to look will turn into a forbidden area. Then... what if the place where the god opens his eyes to look is already a forbidden area?" The Captain's expression was profound.

Xu Qing's heart moved. He had not thought about this question. At this moment, after pondering, brilliance appeared in his eyes.

"The forbidden area looked at by the god will have its foreign substances become dense again, exceeding a certain limit. Thus... a forbidden land is formed. And the difference between a forbidden area and a forbidden land is great." The Captain took a bite of the apple and continued.

"In a forbidden area, most of what exists are fierce beasts or strange things, but in a forbidden land... new intelligent races can be born!"

"According to the records of the Seventh Blood Child, there are at least fifteen forbidden lands in the entire world, and the races in these forbidden lands, some are known to the outside world, while others are incomparably mysterious."

"On the Endless Sea, there exists a forbidden land, called Corpse Forbidden. The Sea Corpse Clan was born in the edge area there. And in the Southern Wilderness Continent where we are, there is also a forbidden land."

"That is Huang Forbidden."

"You should have heard that there exists an emperor in Huang Forbidden, named Yan Huang. She belongs to the top-level divine creatures in this world. To some extent, although she is far from being comparable to a god, she is also a similar existence."

"This Yan Huang was born in the Huang Forbidden Land."

Xu Qing listened to the Captain's words, and a strong wave surged in his heart. This world, following the Captain's voice, seemed to have lifted another layer of mystery for him.

"Then... what if the god opens his eyes to look at a forbidden land?" Xu Qing asked suddenly.

The Captain was silent and did not speak. Until he walked to the deep pit where the fish eye was, the moment he jumped down, his voice came faintly.

"The god looked at the forbidden land. Throughout the ages, only four times have been recorded."

"What kind of changes the forbidden land that was looked at underwent, I do not know either. But I know that their name is no longer forbidden land, but... Divine Domain." ===== CHAPTER 121 =====
