Chapter 302: A Thrilling Moment

Mo Ya and Lin Feier, who entered the central Altar area, looked inside and saw a huge pit of flesh and blood, with an Altar made of piled white bones in the middle. On the Altar there was also a copper cauldron, and flames burned beneath it, with no one knowing what was being refined inside.

The two immediately raised sword and blade together and hacked at the Altar. But the white bones were unbelievably hard; each bone required at least three cuts to break.

Therefore, to completely smash this Altar would still take considerable time. The two grew anxious, fearing both something emerging from the Altar and the evil entities of the Heavenly Gang Realm outside suddenly returning.

The two hacked for a long while, yet only removed a corner of the Altar.

At that moment, the Altar emitted an energy fluctuation, as if something was about to be transmitted.

"Damn, the opposing Foreign Tribe must have noticed. Hurry, speed up!" The two sensed something wrong and frantically resumed hacking.

Suddenly, behind them, Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming rushed in, startling the two into a shiver.

"You scared me to death! Come help, something's being transmitted!" Mo Ya shouted loudly.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned, and he immediately ordered: "You two, take the copper cauldron above. Lei Ming, go beneath the Altar and dig out the Spirit Stone, cutting off the driving energy. I'll handle the Altar!"

Speaking, he wielded the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal and slammed it toward the corner opening the two had previously cut.

With a boom, a massive slab of white bones collapsed, far faster than the two. The transmission inside the Altar momentarily halted, then resumed.

Then Ye Liuyun swung another slash, cutting through more than ten white bones, and the Mountain-flipping Seal struck again. Thus the sword and the Seal fell continuously without pause.

Mo Ya and Lin Feier at this point succeeded, obtaining the copper cauldron.

"Withdraw to outside the city immediately," Ye Liuyun shouted to the two.

The two dared not delay and rushed outward. Outside, several Corpse Demons of the Sea Transformation realm could not block them; the two cleared a path and escaped.

At that moment, Lei Ming also dug out the Spirit Stone. "You also withdraw!" Ye Liuyun barked.

Lei Ming dared not linger and withdrew at once.

Only Ye Liuyun remained at the Altar, continuing to hack it. Though the transmission energy was cut, the energy already transmitted still emanated from the Altar.

Ye Liuyun saw a black claw hook onto the Altar's edge. He immediately slashed, employing Buddha Light Power from his True Essence.

"Swish" a flash of Golden Light cut through, slicing off the few hooks of the demon claw that had emerged.

"Aooo!" a howl from the Foreign Tribe echoed from within the Altar.

"Boom!" a huge roar, the Altar collapsed halfway, and the transmission finally ceased. Ye Liuyun hadn't caught his breath when another claw protruded from the Altar, then lunged toward him.

"Kill!" Ye Liuyun's entire body radiated Buddha Light Power; with a Thunder Fire Overlord strike, he hurled himself at the demon claw.

At the same time, Divine Sense continued to control the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal, shielding him.

"Bang" a sound, the reverberation of their mutual blasts finally shattered the Altar, but Ye Liuyun's punch was instantly dispersed.

Then the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal blocked that claw again; with another boom, the Seal was blasted away.

Ye Liuyun immediately swung another slash. Before his blade could land, his Divine Sense keenly sensed the transmitted energy from the Altar rapidly receding.

And Ye Liuyun's slash happened to strike the demon claw, cutting it off.

"Aooo!" another howl rose from the Altar, but this time it grew farther away and soon faded.

"Looks like the energy was insufficient; the Foreign Tribe never got transmitted!" Ye Liuyun exhaled.

He then dared not rest, instantly recalling the Nine Dragons Mountain-flipping Seal to completely smash the Altar. Afterwards he used Golden Crow Holy Fire to burn the white bones clean, then equipped the severed hand, turned back toward the city, and reunited with Mo Ya and the others.

"All set?" Mo Ya and the others looked toward Ye Liuyun expectantly. Lei Ming jumped onto Ye Liuyun's shoulder, rubbing his face against the chin.

"All done! That was too thrilling, just a hair's breadth away— a Foreign Tribe was being transmitted. Its hand had already reached out, but at the final moment the energy fell short and it retreated."

Then Ye Liuyun displayed the bodies of those evil demons and the severed arm.

"I've extracted the Crystal Core. Their scale armor, after purification, can be forged into armor; do you want any?"

"You'd give us? This kind of good stuff, of course we want it!" Mo Ya laughed.

Then you two go remove the scale armor yourselves. The one with a big hole in its chest is the strongest realm; take it. It's huge, its single set of scale armor should be enough for both of you to make armor.

Saying that, Ye Liuyun began to remove the scale armor from the other two corpses.

After stripping the scale armor, Ye Liuyun ignited a fire and completely incinerated their Physical Bodies.

Ye Liuyun also took out the Storage Rings of those evil beings and divided their contents between the two. He was only interested in the Spirit Stone; the rest he gave to them. A crystal sphere containing blood lineage went to Lei Ming. A set of Demon Race techniques was taken by Lin Feier.

Mo Ya retrieved the copper cauldron, which contained a bone blade.

"Fine blade! Brother Ye, you already have a suitable weapon, let me give you this blade! Feier, you don't need a blade, don't argue with me, I can give you all my other items."

"Alright!" Lin Feier replied simply, without further comment.

Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't compete with Mo Ya. Seeing that Lin Feier received fewer benefits, he gave the copper cauldron to her as well.

"This copper cauldron can refine demonic artifacts; its grade surpasses even a Super Holy Artifact. Its value is no less than that bone blade; keep it!"

Lin Feier said "Thank you", and without further politeness, she stored the copper cauldron.

"Alright, the loot distribution is complete, let's return. If we linger, they'll worry. On our way back we can also deal with some Holy Realm Corpse Demons inside the city!"

Thus the group turned back; wherever they encountered a city they entered and slaughtered many Holy Realm Corpse Demons. Especially when they met disciples of the Xuemo Sect, Ye Liuyun spared none regardless of their realm.

Until after they returned, the Corpse Demons did not attack the checkpoint. Bai Hu then returned the Formation Flag to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then briefed everyone on the situation in the Corpse Demon domain.

Seeing that there were no high-realm Corpse Demons nearby, the group eagerly requested to go out and slay them.

Ye Liuyun did not stop them. He assembled a team of all Holy Realm personnel, then assigned Bai Hu with twenty Holy Realm beasts to protect them and assault the next city. He also released Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and others, letting them join for more experience.

Ye Liuyun himself stayed at the checkpoint with a large number of beasts and some Holy Realm disciples. His Divine Sense watched the team from afar, ready to rush over to support them.

In the next city, the Holy Realm Corpse Demons had already been eliminated by the time Ye Liuyun returned. Thus they easily captured the city, gaining experience without facing great danger.

Afterwards, they left no garrison and immediately returned to the checkpoint.
