Chapter 258: The divine beast corpse falling from the sky above the forbidden area (6k)

~21 min read 4,013 words

At this moment, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's eyes were full of fear.

At the critical moment of life and death, he could no longer care about anything else, and with trembling hands, he took out a white light ball from his storage bag.

The Restriction-Breaking Ball, currently the entire royal family only has two, which were rewarded by the Father Emperor to the Fourth Brother and him respectively; at this time, it became his last straw.

It's just that he had no bottom in his heart, because he had never used a Restriction-Breaking Ball to break a three-colored restriction.

Especially since this thing has a limit on the number of times it can be used, so he cherished it very much and would not use it easily.

Whoosh!

Before he could try, a blood-colored sword energy roared over, and Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai couldn't react at all.

The sword energy slashed straight at the arm holding the Restriction-Breaking Ball.

With a "crack", Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's arm was severed at the shoulder, and the severed arm, carrying splashing blood, was directly knocked away.

"Ah—" Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai let out a heart-piercing scream, and the light ball fell straight down, disappearing into the forest.

"Did I let you go?" The black-robed person sneered, then ignored him, killing the two people with an even more crushing posture.

Not long after, two more corpses fell straight from the sky.

And the white-clothed person and the black-robed person just shook their necks lightly; it seemed that this battle was just a warm-up for them.

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai clutched his severed arm, his complexion pale as paper, and was scared to retreat repeatedly, until he leaned against the formation, his face desperate.

"Two seniors, I am the Fifth Prince of the Sacred Martial Dynasty, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai; as long as you don't kill me, I can give you anything you want!"

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's voice trembled, begging with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, the Prince's majesty had long since vanished; as long as he could live, he would kneel and kowtow.

The black-robed person stepped forward, pulled the hood down, and said: "Oh, anything?"

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you speak, whether it is rare treasures or cultivation techniques, I can get them for you."

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai said hurriedly, his eyes full of hope.

The black-robed person tilted his head slightly, looked at Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai, and suddenly laughed: "I want the secret recipe for the Soul Severance Realm!"

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai was stunned for a moment, then full of helplessness, crying and saying: "That thing, let alone me, even the Father Emperor doesn't know; the recipe has been mastered by the Imperial Grandfather from beginning to end; why don't you change a condition."

Hearing this, the black-robed person didn't seem surprised, suddenly reached out, and directly pinched Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's neck.

Feeling the suffocation in his throat, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's eyes widened instantly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Only the remaining arm subconsciously grabbed the black-robed person's wrist, wanting to pry it open, but it was just futile.

"Sen, Senior, don't kill me, I have the Imperial Dao Spirit Seal planted by the Father Emperor in my body; once you take action, you will be locked by the Father Emperor, and by then, you will definitely not be able to escape!"

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai squeezed out this sentence with difficulty, his face full of horror.

The black-robed person suddenly laughed and said: "Almost forgot this, thank you for the reminder."

The words fell, and a black iron chain whistled from the black-robed person's sleeve, directly binding Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai tightly.

There were nine bone spurs, which flew into his body with the black-robed person's light touch.

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai endured the pain and kept begging, but it was of no avail.

"Alright, now you shouldn't be able to use spiritual power!"

The black-robed person patted his hands with satisfaction, and then, at a secret position on Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's back, took out a sharp small knife and gently cut a blood wound.

And used a jade bottle to catch a full bottle.

"I heard that the 'Xuan Yuan Dragon Emperor Scripture' cultivated by your Xuan Yuan family can constantly temper your own physique, and even the blood will become a kind of treasure medicine; I wonder if it is true or false?"

The black-robed person muttered to himself, and as he put away the jade bottle, he looked at Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai again, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, and suddenly kicked out heavily, directly kicking him away.

He drew a long arc in the air, hit and broke dozens of thick ancient trees in succession, and then fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

"Who exactly are you? Even if I die, you have to let me die clearly, right?" Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai spat out blood, and then looked up and roared in question.

At this moment, he had already seen that these two people had no intention of letting him go at all.

"I am your father!" The black-robed person sneered, then left side by side with the white-clothed person.

For a time, the entire interior of the formation fell into dead silence, quiet enough to make one's hair stand on end.

This sudden operation directly stunned Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai.

This is, letting him go?

Playing?

"Roar! Roar!"

Just as he was full of suspicion, suddenly two extremely violent beast roars rang out.

Following that, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's eyes were full of despair and disbelief, seemingly understanding something.

"No, no, you can't do this, you can't do this..." He shook his head repeatedly, his voice trembling and tearful, crawling backward crazily.

Boom!

Two huge tiger-like monster beasts suddenly rushed out from the forest, their eyes red, seemingly hungry for a long time.

When they smelled the thick bloody smell permeating the air, they roared excitedly, thick saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths, immediately locked onto Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai, and rushed over.

"No, no, ah—" Following that, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's shrill scream instantly resounded throughout the valley.

"Puff!"

One of the tiger claws directly tore open Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's shoulder, and blood splashed out instantly.

The other opened its bloody mouth, bit Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's thigh fiercely, and shook its head forcefully.

With a "crack", the sound of broken bones was clearly audible, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai trembled all over with pain, and let out a pig-slaughtering howl.

But such screams made them even more excited; they surrounded Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai, constantly tearing at his body, and every bite could take away a piece of flesh.

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's consciousness gradually blurred, but the severe pain struck in waves like a tide, making him unable to faint.

He kept muttering begging words in his mouth, his voice weak and desperate: "Please... let me go..."

Seeing his breath getting weaker and weaker, but at the next moment, a bright light burst out from his sea of consciousness, directly lifting the two monster beasts away.

The light gathered, instantly condensing into a coiled dragon phantom, dragon eyes wide open: "Who dares to hurt my imperial heir!"

"Fa, Father—" Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai trembled his lips, using his last bit of strength, looking at the figure in the light in the sky.

The current Emperor of the Sacred Martial Dynasty—Xuan Yuan Hao, when he saw that they were two savage tiger demons, was stunned.

Looking at his son who was bloody and dying again, he asked urgently: "Who took the action?"

Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai hadn't had time to open his mouth, when a tiger demon exerted force, its bloody mouth opened wide, sharp teeth flashing with cold light, straight toward his head.

With a muffled "crack", his head instantly exploded, and red and white things splashed out, the scene extremely bloody.

Following that, a wisp of Primordial Spirit exuding faint light slowly floated out from the broken head.

And then it manifested Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's appearance, only his expression was full of panic and unwillingness.

"Father, it was two people who took action, the son didn't see their appearance..."

Hum~~

Before he finished speaking, a large group of black mist suddenly surged from a distance, directly shrouding Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's Primordial Spirit.

Looking closely, these mists were actually composed of dense, countless Soul-Eroding Gu.

One by one, their mouths were full of dense fangs, and they began to pierce the Primordial Spirit desperately with their sharp heads.

Making Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai let out a shrill scream again.

"Save... save me..." Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's cry for help became weaker and weaker, gradually drowned in the noisy gnawing sound of the Soul-Eroding Gu.

Looking at this vicious calculation that was linked ring by ring, Xuan Yuan Hao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and roared toward the surroundings.

"No matter who you are, treating my Xuan Yuan royal family member so viciously, I will definitely tear you into pieces and make you pay with blood!"

But the response to him was still silence.

Until Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's Primordial Spirit was completely swallowed up, the golden coiled dragon suspended in the sky turned into two golden light spots, instantly sinking into the two tiger demons that were still gnawing.

Directly forming an indelible mark imprint.

And the two tiger demons ignored it, continuing to tear, and after gnawing Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai's flesh completely, they licked the corners of their mouths with unfinished business.

But suddenly, their bodies trembled violently without warning, followed by their bodies expanding rapidly, and then with a bang, they actually exploded at the same time weirdly.

Following that, a powerful energy fluctuation centered on them, spreading crazily in all directions.

For a time, branches and leaves flew, and dust splashed.

After the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, more than a dozen black-clothed humanoid puppets flashed out from all directions.

Their eyes were empty, their bodies exuded cold aura, without any hesitation, they rushed straight to the tiger demon remains that were still steaming.

Without saying a word, they bowed down and snatched them, eating them in large mouthfuls.

In the blink of an eye, the tiger meat was divided up.

After doing all this, the black-clothed puppets' bodies also began to flash with weird light.

The light became brighter and brighter, accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, they actually exploded one after another, for a time fire soared into the sky, heat waves rolling.

Until the afternoon, someone flew past from the sky, only then discovered the miserable scene of this mountain range below, full of curiosity and went down, trying to pick up bargains.

It's a pity that no valuable things were found; it seems all traces were cleaned up cleanly.

Taiqingmen!

Zhou Qing teased the old hen with a full face of smiles.

Don't say, now the Soul Formation Realm has a 90% probability of ignoring him, but this old hen can always find him anytime, anywhere, which is quite wonderful.

After identifying it again, it was still the same as last time; because of swallowing spirit stones, it was undergoing a second transformation.

Subsequently, he took out the token of the Divine Ruins Tiangong to look at it; now only Number Six, Shen Shen Hanyi, was online alone.

Counting the time, it had been more than three years since the last parting, and I don't know if the divine medicine obtained from the Kunpeng Palace had saved her brother?

"Forget it, anyway, being idle is also being idle; just happen to take the first-generation ancestor to try how powerful the newly mastered 'Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain' is!"

Zhou Qing pondered secretly, his eyes flashing with eager light.

If he could get the remaining five supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stones, maybe he could go all out and condense the second wisp of Phoenix Dao pattern.

After some consideration, Zhou Qing set everything up skillfully, and then his consciousness instantly immersed in it.

Sure enough, the Number Six forbidden area presented a deep blue, clearly not having come out yet.

Zhou Qing was about to step in, when an abrupt cough sounded from the side.

Zhou Qing looked toward the sound, only to discover that Number Seven, the purple ball, had actually come online at this moment.

This guy, could it be that he has been staring at me in secret?

"Old fellow, I like the gift you sent me last time very much; are there any others?" Senior Master Sikong Yan asked with a full face of smiles.

Zhou Qing naturally knew what "gift" he was talking about, nothing more than the eight drops of heart blood obtained by the Tianji Sect using some means; last time he put the one in Xuan Xuan Ji Zi's hand in the Blood Rock Mine for him to take, and now it seems it has been obtained.

"You mean the remaining seven drops?" Zhou Qing responded calmly.

Senior Master Sikong Yan gave two dry laughs and said: "Old fellow is worthy of being an old fellow, understanding so thoroughly; I am truly curious, how much do you still know about me?"

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said: "You guess!"

"This I can't guess, and currently I am in the light, you are in the dark, and you also once said that between us, we should stop at the right time and not investigate each other's bottom line!" Senior Master Sikong Yan said helplessly.

Zhou Qing's expression was correct, saying: "This is naturally the best, but this time you specifically waited for me to come online, I am afraid it is not just to chat these few words."

Senior Master Sikong Yan's expression tightened, suddenly lowered his voice, with a sneaky appearance, and said: "That is naturally not, I am here to tell you, I killed someone."

Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously asked: "Who did you kill?"

A trace of imperceptible excitement flashed in Senior Master Sikong Yan's eyes, saying: "The true mastermind of the Five Sect War, the Fifth Prince of the Sacred Martial Dynasty, Xuan Yuan Yuan Fengtai!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

"But rest assured, I did the aftermath work quite cleanly; no one will suspect me, and this secret, I only told you alone!"

Senior Master Sikong Yan's voice carried a trace of pride.

Zhou Qing's brows furrowed, and he slandered in his heart: Truly a lunatic!

"I am afraid that in a few days, the current Emperor will come in person; you say what should I do? I am a bit panicked in my heart now!"

Senior Master Sikong Yan's voice carried a trace of anxiety.

Zhou Qing was speechless for a while, really didn't know how to describe him, so he had to say unhappily: "If you are panicked, you can tell everyone that you killed the person."

Senior Master Sikong Yan shook his head repeatedly, saying: "That won't do, I'm not stupid."

Zhou Qing: "..."

"But don't worry, I cleaned up the aftermath quite thoroughly; no one will suspect me. Besides, I've only told you this secret, you know!"

After Senior Master Sikong Yan finished speaking, he hurried away.

"Either the brain has bubbles or is sick!" Zhou Qing looked at the purple ball that had disappeared, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

Just at this time, Number Six, the blue ball, slowly manifested, with the six golden characters 【Truly a fated person】 still floating on her head.

"Number One, you finally came!" Shen Shen Hanyi opened her mouth enthusiastically.

Although each person's voice was difficult to distinguish between male, female, old, and young, Zhou Qing could still feel the joy in Number Six's words.

It seems that the shape-shifting divine medicine worked!

At this moment, Zhou Qing was elusive in the impressions of Number Six and Number Seven, which made him a little proud.

"Looks like your brother is fine?" Zhou Qing opened his mouth straight to the point.

Regarding Zhou Qing's question, Shen Shen Hanyi did not show the slightest surprise.

After all, Number One knew almost everything about her, and the matter of her brother suffering from a curse was not a secret.

"Already slowly recovering, many thanks!" Shen Shen Hanyi said full of gratitude.

Of course, her gratitude stemmed from the 【Ice Glass Spirit Sparrow Grass】 that Zhou Qing helped her find in the forbidden area.

"A small matter, just a shape-shifting divine medicine, not some rare object!" Zhou Qing boasted shamelessly.

Shen Shen Hanyi heard this, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Although in the Divine Ruins Tiangong, everyone tried their best to hide their own strength and secrets, Number One's words were truly too exaggerated.

However, she also had to admit that Number One did have some skills.

But who exactly was he?

Although Number One often referred to himself as "Old Man", maybe these were all illusions.

"How about, come and sit at my place?" Shen Shen Hanyi suddenly issued an invitation.

Zhou Qing's mouth hooked, and he asked with a bit of teasing: "Daytime or nighttime?"

Shen Shen Hanyi: "..."

"Just kidding, actually it's quite good for you to talk more, don't be cold and refuse people thousands of miles away!"

Zhou Qing's mouth rose, saying with a playful smile.

Shen Shen Hanyi took a light breath, slowly opened her mouth: "Since you know everything about me, you should also know what the situation of the sect I am in is like; as for the appearance on the surface, it's just that I'm used to self-protection."

Zhou Qing heard this, and faintly seemed to guess something.

Looks like the sect Number Six is in is extraordinary.

A fourth-level formation master, late Soul Severance Realm, also has to act cautiously?

Are the fourth-level cultivation country and the fifth-level cultivation country so different?

Actually making such a powerhouse have to walk on thin ice.

"Forget it, don't mention these; I just have some doubts, please answer them for me." Shen Shen Hanyi paused, seeing Zhou Qing didn't pick up the conversation, and continued.

"I am a bit curious, since you know me so well, if there are no accidents, you should also be from the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty."

"Since that's the case, there is no reason you don't know about the simulated forbidden area behind me. But after you entered, why did you replicate another completely different forbidden area?"

"Generally speaking, as long as one reaches the recognition of the Divine Ruins Tiangong, one person can even condense two, three, or even more forbidden areas. However—"

Shen Shen Hanyi said this, and subconsciously looked up at the strange scenes of ancient trees, blood rivers, and coffins in Zhou Qing's simulated forbidden area, her eyes full of doubt.

If Number One was from the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty, there were not a few people who knew about the forbidden area she was in, so he should have been there.

But he didn't simulate it; isn't it strange?

According to legend, the token of the Divine Ruins Tiangong can replicate the same forbidden area, as long as you have seen it and been there in reality.

This can also be considered an interesting "loophole game" in the rules of the Divine Ruins Tiangong. If two people replicate the same forbidden area, they can use this to guess and find each other's identity and clues.

There is also the newly arrived Number Seven, the purple ball, who claims to be an old fellow with Number One; whether this is true or false is not discussed for now, but the forbidden area he manifested is also very different from Number One.

In this way, she had a bold guess.

First, Number One is from the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty, but has never been to that forbidden area.

After all, that place is too dangerous; let alone the Soul Formation Realm, even Soul Severance Realm powerhouses have the possibility of falling.

Therefore, his cultivation should be below the Soul Formation Realm, or even Yuan Ying Realm, Jin Dan Realm.

But he happens to have extraordinary knowledge, knowing many secrets that ordinary people find difficult to contact.

For example, singing love songs under the jujube tree, recognizing shape-shifting divine medicine, wrapping in the Emperor's burial cloth, teaching her fourth-level formations, etc.

Second, Number One is not from the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty at all, so naturally he has never been to the forbidden area she is in, but he knows everything about her like the back of his hand.

But she has very little contact with people on a daily basis, and basically is within the scope of the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty, so how exactly did he know all the information about her?

Third, Number Seven, the purple ball, is lying; he and Number One are not old fellows, nor are they from the Tianyun Sacred Dynasty.

Currently, the five of them are in different cultivation countries, and there is no substantial contact or communication between them.

Thinking back and forth, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she couldn't help but open her mouth to ask Zhou Qing.

Facing Shen Shen Hanyi's question, Zhou Qing was stunned.

His mind quickly reviewed various details; it seems to be the truth.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing had to smile and say: "You guess!"

Shen Shen Hanyi had already expected that she wouldn't be able to ask anything, sighed helplessly, and a flash of disappointment flashed on her face.

She was unwilling to give up and said: "It's like this, recently in the forbidden area I am in, something fell from the central area, suspected to be a true pure-blood divine beast corpse."

"I want to invite you to explore together; if we can get related opportunities, you say a place, and we will split it in half, how about it?"

Zhou Qing heard this, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Pure-blood divine beast?

Zhou Qing remembered that Second Uncle said that true pure-blood divine beasts would appear in sixth-level cultivation countries.

For example, there is a true pure-blood Golden Crow, which is the guardian divine bird of a sixth-level cultivation country.

Shen Shen Hanyi comes from a fifth-level cultivation country, and the forbidden area she is in is of a high grade; maybe it's really possible.

Moreover, through several contacts before and after, he also had some understanding of Shen Shen Hanyi's personality; she splits when she says split, gives when she says give, never fake.

Furthermore, he hasn't come into contact with a true pure-blood divine beast until now.

Even that Suanni was only half pure-blood, and it was still a bone that didn't know how many years it had been dead.

The divine beast just fell down, it should not have been dead for long.

Just right, his Corpse-Touching Post still has one chance; maybe he will get an unexpected opportunity.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 259 =====

For instance, there is a true pure-blooded Golden Crow that serves as the guardian divine bird of a certain Level 6 cultivation nation.

Shen Shen Hanyi comes from a Level 6 cultivation nation, and the forbidden zone where she is located is of a high level; it's actually quite possible.

Moreover, through several encounters, he has gained some understanding of Shen Shen Hanyi's personality: she is decisive, generous, and never puts on a facade.

Furthermore, he has yet to encounter a true pure-blooded divine beast.

Even that Suanni was only a half-pure blood, and it was just a skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many years.

A divine beast that has just fallen should not have been dead for long.

It just so happens that his Corpse-Touching Post still has one use left; he might just obtain an unexpected opportunity.
