Chapter 722: with translation of chapter title

Ye Liuyun brought Lei Ming and Long Nv, having no particular goal, and directly ran toward a direction they had not yet traveled.

Could it be that there are still Alien Evil Artifacts existing in this Secret Realm?

He kept thinking about the Alien Evil Artifacts in his mind.

They also passed several dense forests, encountering some fierce beasts; he handed them all to Lei Ming and Long Nv for practice, letting the two of them have a good fight.

The two divine artifacts just obtained, the longsword was given to Bai Hu to be refined into a spear, and the axe was given to Shi Yuan as a weapon.

Aside from his own bone staff, Shi Yuan's weapons had all been replaced by Wu Qingcheng with revered-grade weapons; now that he has a divine artifact, he is much safer in battle.

Thus, aside from Ru Yue, everyone else also possessed a divine artifact.

Ye Liuyun also comforted Ru Yue, telling her not to be anxious, and that next time they encounter a divine artifact, he will definitely give it to her first.

Ru Yue actually is already quite satisfied with having cultivated to her current level; moreover, she regards Ye Liuyun and the others as her family, so she does not care about this at all.

Actually, the divine artifacts in the hands of Ye Liuyun and his companions are already quite many; don't think that because they can still be found on the Cangyun Continent, they are abundant— in fact, they are rare in the outer regions.

Ye Liuyun had also once asked Elder Song Yan why divine artifacts are actually fewer in the outer regions.

Elder Song Yan's reply was that development in the outer regions began early, divine artifacts had been discovered long ago and then used in battle, consuming many of them, so now their numbers are not large.

In other remote places, divine artifacts are more abundant because Martial Cultivators have low realms, making it hard to discover divine artifacts, so many remain undeveloped.

After Ye Liuyun finished arranging the seized divine artifacts, he focused on surveying the surrounding environment, seeking locations where treasures might exist.

After he released his Divine Sense, he also sensed a faint evil aura coming from another direction.

Could it really be that I have encountered an Alien Evil Artifact?

Upon thinking this, Ye Liuyun reminded Lei Ming and Long Nv, then led the two of them rushing over.

The farther they walked in that direction, the stronger the evil aura became.

Exactly, it's the aura of an Alien Evil Artifact!" Lei Ming confirmed.

She had followed Ye Liuyun in multiple battles against Alien Evil Artifacts and was very familiar with this aura.

I think so too!" Long Nv also affirmed.

Monster Beasts' sense of smell and perception are sharper than those of Martial Cultivators.

I didn't expect to actually encounter one! Then prepare for battle— you two again have a chance to go all out!

Since Ye Liuyun had encountered an Alien Evil Artifact, he would certainly go check the situation regardless.

However, they had traveled a long distance before arriving at the place emitting that aura.

There, it was a Tomb Cluster.

So many tombs?" Lei Ming exclaimed upon seeing them.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of li, everything is Tomb Clusters, one after another, all deeply buried underground, with only a bit of the tombstones exposed.

Ahead, a pitch-black cave mouth resembled a giant beast opening its maw to devour people; the cave interior emitted the aura of an Alien Evil Artifact.

This should be the entrance to the tomb," Ye Liuyun guessed.

Someone has recently entered!" Long Nv observed and saw fresh footprints underground.

You two, prepare your divine artifacts!" Ye Liuyun instructed them.

Next, he took out a treasure he hadn't used in a long time, the Corpse-Eating Worm!

The Corpse-Eating Worms had been starving for a long time, remaining in a dormant state to sustain their survival.

Ye Liuyun first awakened the worm king, letting it lead the Corpse-Eating Worms inside to scout the situation.

The worm king had been sleeping bored; upon seeing a task, it instantly became excited, immediately awakening all the Corpse-Eating Worms, burrowing straight into the soil to probe the cave interior.

Knowing their speed, Ye Liuyun waited outside for an hour or two before bringing Lei Ming and the others into the cave.

He himself was fully on guard, holding the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand and gripping the Sealing Demon Tablet in the other.

As soon as the Sealing Demon Tablet appeared, it sensed the strong evil aura here and struggled to break free from his hand.

Ye Liuyun, however, firmly pressed it into his palm.

What's the rush?" Ye Liuyun rebuked: "You go in yourself, what about me? I'm also heading in; come with me, and along the way you might even get to kill a few more!

Upon hearing his words, the Sealing Demon Tablet temporarily calmed down and ceased struggling.

At this point, Ye Liuyun had received confirmation from the worm king that this Tomb Cluster contained both Human Martial Cultivators and Alien Evil Artifacts.

However, what they have discovered so far are only corpses, with no living beings.

It also warned Ye Liuyun that there are many Yin ghosts inside, advising them to stay alert along the way.

After receiving this news, Ye Liuyun put away the Demon Slaying Sword and took out the Mourning Bell.

This Mourning Bell is precisely the bane of Yin ghosts.

Inside the tomb, it was pitch black, with intermittent yin winds seeping into the marrow.

Ye Liuyun, with his Golden Pupil, fared somewhat better; Lei Ming and Long Nv relied entirely on Divine Sense, closely following Ye Liuyun.

The tomb's passages were also winding; Ye Liuyun walked while recording the map of the passages in his Sea of Consciousness, lest he lose the way back.

After they turned a few corners, they discovered some flickering illusions ahead.

Here they come!" Ye Liuyun warned Lei Ming and Long Nv while releasing Nether Ghost Fire to envelop them, preventing surprise attacks by these Yin ghosts.

These Yin ghosts can pass through walls and can unexpectedly attack a person's soul.

Although these Yin ghosts are currently not strong, Ye Liuyun still does not want to waste time on them.

If the Sealing Demon Tablet actively rushes inward, it indicates that there is surely a major foe worthy of its action inside; there's no need to expend energy on these minor lackeys.

The Corpse-Eating Worms have not yet probed the deepest part, so Ye Liuyun is still unaware of the situation; he only wants to quickly keep pace with the worms.

The few Yin ghosts ahead, upon seeing the Nether Ghost Fire, emitted shrill whistles as threats, yet none dared to charge forward.

This Nether Ghost Fire specifically counters Yin ghosts; if they touch even a bit, they will instantly be burned to nothingness.

Gradually, the Yin ghosts in the passage increased in number, trailing behind Ye Liuyun and his companions on both sides, wailing and howling.

Ye Liuyun paid them no heed, directly leading Lei Ming and Long Nv to the first tomb chamber.

Inside this tomb chamber, the Corpse-Eating Worm had already helped him scout it out, and had even enjoyed a feast. Inside, at least thousands of corpses were laid out, all of them Human Race Martial Cultivators.

In this tomb chamber, there are even more Yin Souls, and some of them are powerful, but without exception, they dare not attack Ye Liuyun and them, circling around Ye Liuyun's Nether Ghost Fire.

Ye Liuyun, based on the Corpse-Eating Worm's information, directly came before a huge coffin, and with one punch blasted open the lid. This provoked the surrounding Yin Souls into another round of angry roars and piercing cries.

Immediately, a large quantity of weapons was revealed inside, more than ten of which were Venerable Rank weapons.

Ye Liuyun directly stored all the Venerable Rank weapons into his Storage Ring, then turned and left the tomb chamber.
