Chapter 1003: The Reawakened Corpse Giant, The Sinking Mad Wanderer

~16 min read 3,044 words

Inside the Meta-Magnetic Light-Piercing Shuttle.

Three figures stood silently, each with somewhat nervous expressions.

Only after easily crossing the Meta-Magnetic Mountain Path did Kong Chan and Liu Jun breathe a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the sharp weapon used by the Origin Demon Sect to enter and exit Night-Mo Heaven back then, this Meta-Magnetic Light-Piercing Shuttle, although slow in the outside world, is invincible within the Meta-Magnetic Aurora." Kong Chan praised.

Liu Jun nodded with a smile: "Next is the Soul-Locking Array set up by the Soul-Refining ancestor, but that array was basically broken after I destroyed the array eye at the Three-Qing Gorge back then and drew in the power of the Sinking Sea."

Kong Chan did not deny this point; if it weren't for Shark Emperor Liu Jun's great contribution back then, the North Sea demons wouldn't know how long they would have been trapped in Night-Mo Heaven.

Next, as long as they returned to Night-Mo Heaven and channeled the power accumulated by the Sinking Sea for a thousand years back, they would have a chance to open the Demon-Falling Land ahead of schedule.

At that time, he would be able to find a way to break through to Soul Transformation inside.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the two people beside him without leaving a trace.

These two still had utility value, but once they entered the Demon-Falling Land... Huh?

Kong Chan looked suspiciously at the chubby man.

"Tai Sui, what's wrong with you?"

Tai Sui frowned, "Nothing, just inexplicably feeling a bit uneasy."

Liu Jun smiled lightly: "Is Fellow Daoist Tai Sui too nervous? We have already passed the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array and the Meta-Magnetic Mountain Path; the road ahead is smooth sailing."

Tai Sui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I always have a feeling of heart-palpitations, as if someone is watching us in the dark."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the other two also became serious.

"Could it be the person who opened the array earlier and sneaked in?"

"It's possible; anyone who dares to force their way through the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array is definitely not weak, even if the Demon-Sealing Array hasn't recovered to its peak state! The last one who dared to break through this array was that madman."

"In my opinion, that person shouldn't be as strong as the madman, otherwise why sneak into the array?"

"Regardless, we still need to be careful!"

The three exchanged words and perked up.

The Meta-Magnetic Light-Piercing Shuttle traversed the wind and snow, passing through the Meta-Magnetic Mountain Path in one go.

Not long after they left, a hazy phantom also slowly followed, which was Xiao Bai.

She cautiously trailed far behind, her aura well-concealed, and because of the terrain, she was not discovered by the three in front.

Soon, she also followed through the Meta-Magnetic Mountain Path.

The moment she entered Night-Mo Heaven, a feeling of being restrained arose spontaneously.

Xiao Bai looked back, and at the entrance, there were clearly still some residual array powers.

"Is this the remnant of the Billion-Soul Demon-Locking Array set up by the Soul-Refining ancestor before he died? I wonder where those souls went after the array was broken?"

Xiao Bai was thoughtful, but her steps did not stop, and she truly stepped into the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven.

As far as the eye could see, there was a sense of trance.

Layer upon layer of glaciers, with no end in sight.

The cold and severe temperature made even the soul feel icy and bone-chilling.

And in the distance, there were high mountains piercing the clear sky; standing on those mountains, it felt as if the sky was within reach.

This was the Origin Demon Sect's mountain gate, the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven!

Xiao Bai had a look of shock in her eyes, and then she stepped onto the glacier.

Under her feet were corpses frozen in ice, human and demonic beast, countless broken limbs and bones; some well-preserved bodies even showed the terrified expressions of their owners before they fell.

"I wonder how tragic that battle was back then?"

Xiao Bai muttered, about to continue forward, but her heart felt inexplicably horrified.

She suddenly looked around, but saw nothing.

"What is it?"

The surroundings were quiet, with only the north wind howling and the sound of ice chips rustling.

Xiao Bai took a deep breath and cast several magic incantations in succession, concealing her aura well again.

"For now, it's better to complete the master's task first!"

Xiao Bai turned into a wisp of green smoke and drifted over the mirror-like glacier.

After she left, beneath the glacier, a corpse suddenly opened its eyes!

Not only that, more and more corpses opened their eyes one after another; such a terrifying scene made one's heart creep!

……

The area of the Arctic Night-Mo Heaven was not very large, at least much smaller than the Ming Yuan Sect at its peak.

But if measured by the standard of the Eastern Wasteland's Jade Cauldron Domain, it was at least the size of five Jade Cauldron Domains.

Such an area seemed somewhat unworthy of the status of a Soul Transformation sacred land.

But this had to do with many aspects.

First, the two natural barriers limited the external expansion of Night-Mo Heaven; the Sinking Sea and the Meta-Magnetic Mountain were both defenses and limitations.

Second, it had to do with the small number of Origin Demon Sect cultivators.

The Demon Sect encouraged competition, and internal strife was often bloody and cruel, leading to a small number.

In this way, the area of five Jade Cauldron Domains was enough to support the core strong experts of the Demon Sect.

For Xiao Bai, this was a benefit, and she soon caught up with the three demons of Kong Chan.

But she did not disturb the three, just followed far behind, observing what they were going to do.

During this process, she paid special attention to the chubby cultivator.

This was Luo Chen's

instruction!

"Master said he felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy from him, why don't I have this feeling?"

Xiao Bai was full of confusion.

Not long after, Xiao Bai stopped her steps.

The reason was that the three in front also stopped.

And the reason they were forced to stop was only one!

In that boundless glacial wilderness, there was a huge lake standing in the center.

This lake was different from ordinary large lakes; the lake water presented distinct red and black colors!

A rotten and bloody aura permeated the entire Night-Mo Heaven.

"What kind of lake is this?" Xiao Bai looked horrified.

And by the lakeside, the three demons of Kong Chan also showed grave expressions.

The battle back then killed so many that blood rain flew in Night-Mo Heaven, and the blood of countless demonic beasts and human cultivators spilled onto the land.

Three hundred years passed, and those bloods not only did not dry up, but actually formed such a large lake.

Not only that, but another kind of power had merged into it.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and said with a grave expression: "That black lake water should be caused by the erosion of all things after the power of the Sinking Sea poured in!"

Kong Chan looked at Tai Sui, "Fellow Daoist, didn't you say earlier that you had a way to guide this power back to the Sinking Sea?"

However, Tai Sui shook his head, looking confused.

"This power has already merged into Night-Mo Heaven and cannot be guided out at all."

Kong Chan and Liu Jun were stunned.

"How could this be?"

Tai Sui also smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. The power of the Sinking Sea is quite special, formed by the Heaven-Refining Demon Monarch with an unfathomable array. Logically speaking, people in the world cannot use this power at all?"

The three looked at each other, all confused for a moment.

If they couldn't retrieve the power of the Sinking Sea, what was the point of their hard work coming in this time?

Suddenly!

"Look, what is that?"

The demon monk Kong Chan pointed to the blood lake.

Everyone looked together, unable to hide their shock.

One could see that in the blood lake, a tiny figure was rising and falling, sinking in between.

That was a person!

With that person as the center, a tiny vortex seemed to have formed, absorbing both red and black powers.

The bloody aura and the corrosive Sinking power merged together, forming an extremely special power within that person's body.

"It's demonic energy! Pure demonic energy!" Tai Sui blurted out, his eyes shining: "That person is using this blood lake to cultivate demonic clan techniques!"

Kong Chan was puzzled: "Demonic path techniques?"

Tai Sui waved his hand and explained: "Not demonic path

techniques, but demonic clan techniques! The demonic clan is a collective term for the many races living in the Demon World, and the power they master is demonic energy. This power is incomparably domineering, repelling everything, and is a kind of power no weaker than the magic power of human cultivators. The demonic path techniques you know are just techniques created by clever human beings imitating the demonic clan. Among the best, like the Origin Demon lineage of the Origin Demon Sect, they can cultivate pure demonic energy."

After the explanation, Tai Sui exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"I wonder where this person got the opportunity to reverse the human body and cultivate a demonic body? Who is he?"

This last question was soon answered.

Shark Emperor Liu Jun, who hadn't spoken much earlier, after carefully observing the person in the blood lake, gently spat out three words.

"Mad Wanderer!"

Tai Sui was puzzled: "Who is he?"

"He is the madman we mentioned earlier, once hailed as the head of the three great wanderers of the North Sea, an existence that even the Origin Demon Sect at its peak could do nothing about."

With this explanation, Tai Sui immediately understood.

He had also wandered in the North Sea cultivation world, so he naturally knew the famous three great wanderers.

Mad Wanderer, originally named Feng Ling Scholar, was the successor of the North Sea Feng Ling Temple.

Later, Feng Ling Temple was wiped out and occupied by the Origin Demon Sect, and Feng Ling Scholar became the Wind Wanderer. Later, he went into the Sinking Sea once, and after coming out, he went mad, and the Wind Wanderer was also called the Mad Wanderer.

When he was occasionally sober, he and Moon Wanderer and Blood Wanderer formed the Wan Xian Society.

However, the Wan Xian Society was later substantially controlled by Moon Wanderer, and the Mad Wanderer completely disappeared; I didn't expect him to be here.

Thinking that the Mad Wanderer had entered the Sinking Sea, Tai Sui immediately associated that the other party might have luckily obtained demonic clan techniques in the Demon-Falling Land, and even the other party's madness was caused by forcibly cultivating demonic clan techniques with a human body.

"Reorganizing the flesh with the blood and flesh of countless corpses, and channeling demonic energy with the Sinking Sea power left by the Heaven-Refining Demon Monarch, wanting to forcibly cultivate a demonic body. This Mad Wanderer is truly crazy enough!"

Tai Sui praised, and then had a sudden inspiration.

"Actually, it's not impossible to take away the power of the Sinking Sea!"

The two beside him looked over curiously.

Tai Sui pointed to where the Mad Wanderer was, "We just need to wait, wait for him to absorb all the power in the blood lake, and then take him back to the Sinking Sea, won't that work?"

Once these words were spoken, the two immediately understood.

If the power of the Sinking Sea had completely merged into Night-Mo Heaven, they really had no way.

But if this huge power was in the hands of the Mad Wanderer, it would be much easier to handle.

As for whether it could succeed?

The demon monk Kong Chan indicated that it could be tried.

"The Mad Wanderer is not of sound mind, and has been crazy for so many years

and demented. And my chanting monk clan is best at soul-capturing techniques. When attacking the Origin Demon Sect back then, I didn't even fear the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Soul-Refining lineage, let alone the Mad Wanderer, this crazy person who is not of sound mind?"

"Then wait!"

"Wait for him to absorb it completely!"

The three made up their minds and began to make corresponding arrangements along the lakeside.

After all, the demon monk Kong Chan spoke easily, but if there were any accidents, it would be troublesome.

And the process of setting up the array also happened to investigate who the person who sneaked in earlier was?

"Hold my Morning Bell and Evening Drum, and set them up on both sides of the blood lake!"

"Once he finishes absorbing the power of the Sinking Sea, I will urge these two true artifacts, adding the sound of Buddhist chanting, to cleanse his soul!"

The demon monk Kong Chan ordered.

This was his most proficient means.

The Morning Bell and Evening Drum were both true artifacts inherited by the chanting monk clan from ancient times, which were very compatible with their clan's attack methods.

Under the blessing of the two true artifacts, the power of Kong Chan's Buddhist chanting could be amplified several times, exerting his power to the extreme, which was also his confidence in confronting the strong experts of the Origin Demon Sect's Soul-Refining lineage back then.

During the process of setting up the array, Kong Chan also had a sudden thought about the Western Desert Buddhist Land.

I heard that the sacred land Hanging Temple there had been sealed, so there was no Arhat comparable to Soul Transformation to suppress the Western Desert.

With his own strength, he could completely take the time to go to the Western Desert and collect the Buddhist classics there, perhaps it could make him go further.

In that case, the chances of entering the Demon-Falling Land later would be even greater!

While thinking about this, Kong Chan's Zen staff smashed heavily into the ice layer.

This would be the array eye where he would perform the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chanting Array later!

However, after the Zen staff smashed into the ice layer, Kong Chan felt the soft touch under the ice layer, and his face changed immediately.

"Be careful!"

In the distance, Liu Jun and Tai Sui heard this warning and looked over in unison, looking confused.

Subsequently, a surging vibration suddenly came from the ground.

The three flew into the sky in unison, overlooking the earth.

One could see the ice layer stretching for ten thousand miles cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crack! Crack!

In the broken ice layer, corpses that should have been dead long ago stood up shakily.

These corpses included demonic beasts and human cultivators of the Origin Demon Sect, some complete or incomplete, but at this moment all woke up from their burial.

Such a strange change stunned everyone.

Even a charming exclamation came from an iceberg.

Kong Chan and the three looked over and saw a wisp of green smoke drifting

in the sky, turning into a beautiful woman.

After the beautiful woman flew out, the iceberg she was hiding in collapsed and shattered, and a huge ice ape corpse walked out from inside.

"Sure enough, someone is spying!" Tai Sui stared at Xiao Bai, killing intent boiling in his heart.

The three had already gathered together, and Liu Jun stopped him.

"Don't worry about that woman for now, the top priority is to figure out why these dead existences woke up. Inside, there are even the remains of my Shark clan!"

The demon monk Kong Chan focused all his attention on the countless corpses below.

After careful perception, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Complex souls trapped in lifeless bodies, yet they have unified actions. These ghosts... are the lonely ghosts that the Soul-Refining ancestor detained in the Billion-Soul Demon-Locking Array!"

As if to verify his words, the countless "corpse ghosts" below began to move.

They didn't care about Kong Chan and the three demons at all, nor did they care about Xiao Bai, running wildly toward the blood lake in the center.

During the running process, these corpse ghosts followed one after another, actually beginning to overlap.

As time passed, a giant standing tall, reaching a thousand zhang, stood on the broken glacial wilderness.

This giant's body was composed of countless corpses, and at a glance, it was incomparably creepy.

Countless pairs of eyes emitted strange green fire, staring straight at the blood lake.

"Roar..."

A sound like weeping and complaining, and also like an angry roar, came from the corpse giant, and then it crawled and stepped into the blood lake.

The target, the sinking Mad Wanderer!

Kong Chan, Liu Jun, and Tai Sui watched all this silently, realizing that it was their arrival that awakened these undead, and even stimulated them to attack the Mad Wanderer.

"No, the Mad Wanderer must not be lost, we need the power of the Sinking Sea!" Tai Sui made a judgment.

Shark Emperor Liu Jun was somewhat powerless; the pressure given by that corpse giant far exceeded any Nascent Soul strong expert. "We can't stop it."

"No need to stop it for now, the Mad Wanderer will deal with it himself." Kong Chan pointed to the blood lake, where one bubble after another emerged; clearly, the Mad Wanderer was not unconscious, especially when his life was threatened.

Liu Jun hesitated: "Then we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

"No!" Tai Sui looked ferocious, his gaze falling on the woman standing out of thin air under the broken iceberg in the distance, "Kill this spying guy first!"

Liu Jun and Kong Chan looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

Clear the field first!

The three didn't need words, rushing toward the woman with a look of shock.

That woman

retreated while shouting: "Master, save me!"

He retreated while pulling back, shouting urgently: "Master, save me!"
