Ghost King, Corpse King
Excavating the remains of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast is extremely lucrative, but also incredibly dangerous.
This is disturbing the slumber of an ancient immortal!
There have been Corpse Transformation resurrection, causing widespread devastation and nearly leading to the annihilation of an ancient religion. It has also attracted Ancient Evil Spirit, resulting in the tragic deaths of all those who attempted to excavate it.
The Western Demon Race, the Eastern Sea Demon Race, and the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race —all three transcendent beings—appeared one after another, all offering their assistance.
The Old Ancestor of Zuoqiu Courtyard, the Lei Xiao Sect Master, Zhu Men Chaoran, the patriarch of the Tuoba Clan... Among them, Lei Xiao Sect brought over the Supreme Magic Tool.
The Jellyfish Tribe and the Dragon Tribe, as the rulers of the East Sea, sent more transcendent-level demonic beasts than the Lingxiao human clan. Each of them was like an ancient beast from the primordial era, their Yao Qi condensed into clouds, and together they carried the body of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton.
Li Weiyi did not sense Coffin Master's presence, clearly indicating that he was still hiding and had not revealed himself.
The Heaven and Earth Mana Qi are in disorder.
The celestial phenomena are unpredictable. Under the radiance emanating from the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, the surrounding sea turned golden, and a thousand miles of mist and haze rose.
"The Phoenix Tree... it's a mirage of the Phoenix Tree!"
"Immortal Spring! Immortal Spring has actually been created!"
On the nine islands and reefs, cries of alarm rang out, and the roars of beasts echoed endlessly.
Above the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, the phantom of an ancient tree reaching to the heavens appeared. Its trunk was as thick as a mountain peak, its canopy covered an area of three hundred miles, and its leaves were five-colored.
The branches rustled and swayed in the wind.
Illusory leaves fluttered down, their shapes resembling Phoenix feathers, transforming into a colorful rain of leaves.
Li Weiyi stretched out his palm and caught a leaf shaped like a Phoenix Feather.
It was ethereal, a ball of five-colored light, yet the fine texture of its downy fibers was clearly visible.
"Whoosh!"
The Phoenix Feather leaf melted into the palm of the hand and disappeared.
Li Weiyi flipped his hand over, looked at the back of his hand, and didn't feel any significant changes.
Beside them, a joyful voice rang out. "Everyone, quickly collect these Phoenix Feather leaves! Absorbing them will strengthen your muscles and skin, and enhance your physical body. It's very mysterious; I feel a noticeable improvement with each leaf I absorb."
The one who spoke was a Dao Seed Realm cultivator at the Fourth Heaven of the Dragon Seed Dao Cultivators.
His skin turned five colors, and he indeed gained extraordinary benefits.
"It's true, it really strengthened my physical body."
"The blood and qi have also changed!"
The martial arts practitioners on the island were once again excited, all feeling that they had gained a great deal this time. They then used various methods to pull and tug at the Phoenix Feather leaves outside the island.
Li Weiyi realized that it was because his physical body was already quite strong that he didn't feel much of a difference. For other martial arts practitioners, however, the benefits would be immense.
He used his Hong Ling to collect leaves for Yao Yin, Hidden Twenty-Four, and other young hermits for a while, then stopped and stared at the spring that had appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.
Liquid magical energy gushed from the spring, and strange medicinal herbs of unknown grade grew around it, all of which were casually collected by Chaoran.
Some Great Longevity burst forth from the ground, and one or two can be harvested.
"Hey! What's that...?"
Li Weiyi discovered clusters of white light appearing in the sky above the dried-up sea.
The white light contained a faint Dragon Shadow that appeared and disappeared intermittently, creating a mysterious and enigmatic effect.
"Master..."
The box in Yu'er's hands emitted a chilling aura that froze her hands, making them tremble uncontrollably. Her face flushed red as she looked anxiously at Li Weiyi, unsure of what to do.
Li Weiyi pretended not to see her gaze and stared intently at the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton in the distance, because he didn't know what to do at that moment.
With countless eyes watching, no one dared to use the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish to collect it.
Moreover, with his current cultivation level, he might not even be able to obtain it.
"It's the Dragon Soul Origin Light!"
"It is formed from a wisp of the soul of an ancient immortal dragon, containing its insights into the Great Dao. After refining it, one can improve their cultivation level and enhance their soul and comprehension."
From the underground fissures, some Longevity Realm Giants emerged to collect the loot.
The Dragon Soul Origin Light is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Longevity Realm. Each time a piece is refined, one can gain a large amount of Daoist insights, saving ten years of arduous cultivation.
"Whoosh!"
Those clusters of Dragon Soul Origin Light floating in mid-air, as if drawn by the pearls in the treasure box, flew towards Fengshi Reef.
This unusual phenomenon drew the attention of several extraordinary individuals, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Such anomalies were too ordinary; they just hoped it wouldn't be a Corpse Transformation or the emergence of Ancient Evil Spirit.
Li Weiyi glanced at Yu'er beside him, worried that if the Dragon Soul Origin Light flew directly into the treasure box, it would arouse suspicion from some powerful figures.
So he stepped in front of Yu'er and activated the Provincial Governor's Official Robe on his body.
The cloud and dragon patch on the chest of the Provincial Governor's Official Robe suddenly shone brightly, and concentric Spatial Ripples appeared.
"Splash! Splash..."
A dozen or so clusters of Dragon Soul Origin Light passed through the Formation Script and the Light Veil, crashing into the patch on Li Weiyi's official robe.
The insignia on the Provincial Governor's Official Robe has an inner space that seals the dragon's soul.
The remaining Dragon Soul Origin Light was collected by the Longevity Realm Giants who were chasing behind.
They came from various powerful forces and their cultivation levels were unfathomable. They watched Li Weiyi from outside the Light Veil, assuming that the Dragon Soul Origin Light was attracted by the flying dragon soul in the Provincial Governor's Official Robe.
The transcendence of the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race was far away, and no one dared to venture into Fengshi Reef to steal it; they quickly left.
"Wow, the Provincial Governor's Official Robe actually possesses such miraculous power! I should have activated it earlier too!"
"What's sealed within the official robes is the dragon's soul."
On Fengshi Reef, many martial arts practitioners who wore the Provincial Governor's Official Robe were filled with envy and regret, wishing they could break their thighs in frustration.
The Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect approached, smiling and clasping his hands in greeting, "Young friend Li, I am Chen Jin of the Lei Xiao Sect. I saw you collect quite a bit of Dragon Soul Origin Light earlier, congratulations! I believe you have guessed my purpose. I only broke through to the Longevity Realm at the age of 140, and I am truly not confident that I can break the Second Soul Return Lock before my lifespan runs out. Could you perhaps purchase a few clusters of Dragon Soul Origin Light? The price is negotiable."
Li Weiyi was naturally unwilling and was thinking about how to politely decline.
The Elder Chìlí stepped forward and said, "Old Chen, there are only a dozen or so Dragon Soul Origin Light in total. Let alone whether the Hidden Person themselves have enough, even if they were to sell, they would definitely sell to the Jiu Li Tribe first."
"That's right, this kind of thing is priceless and unavailable. I'd like to buy a piece for my cultivation," said Elder Qílí.
The Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect laughed and said, "Young friend Li is a cultivator from the Feng family... Never mind, let's not mention it. It was my presumption!"
The ability to break through realms and achieve immortality through the cultivation of the Feng family's Dao exists only in legends; there is not one in reality.
The Elder Chìlí watched the Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect leave, then transmitted his voice to Li Weiyi: "Now everyone knows you've collected more than ten clusters of Dragon Soul Origin Light. Be careful, and don't underestimate the desire of Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator for higher cultivation levels. Breaking through a realm means gaining sixty years of lifespan, equivalent to living another lifetime."
Li Weiyi nodded in agreement.
What kind of evil spirit is this?
A roar ten times louder than thunder came from the giant ship in the sky. The Sound Wave surged like a tidal wave, causing many of the young martial artists on the nine islands below to fall to the ground.
While everyone was puzzled...
A black pillar of shadow stretched across the sky from east to west through the clouds. Then, it broke through the clouds and cleaved straight at the giant Dao Palace warship.
It's a long spear!
It was as thick as a millstone, as heavy as a mountain peak, and its force caused the surrounding area to churn and tremble for hundreds of miles around.
On the giant ship, a massive handprint of primordial chaos was unleashed, blocking the spear.
"Boom!"
Their extraordinary battle shook the heavens and earth, their aura trembled in the clouds, and scriptures shot forth.
The seawater surged over the nine islands and reefs, rushing towards the dry sea area in the center.
The colossal ship in the sky swayed, and the inscribed chains connected to it, along with the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton hanging from those chains, sank violently.
"Boom!"
The Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton crashed to the ground, causing the entire underwater world to crack.
The Immortal Spring, suspended in mid-air, instantly turned into a spring of blood.
Even the mirages of the phoenix tree have become gray and dull, no longer vibrant.
All the Immortal Qi, golden mist, and auspicious signs vanished, replaced by signs of impending doom and a chilling atmosphere.
The humanoid being on the giant ship in the sky, speaking in a rather aged voice, coldly shouted, "You Undead Monster, you actually came! Since you're courting death, we'll annihilate you first."
"The Seven Grievances Five Ghosts have arrived," said the Lei Xiao Sect Master.
The Seven Grievances Plain borders the eastern border, the northern border, and the East Sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles and occupying one hundred of the two hundred and seventy-two states of the former Lingxiao Shengjing.
The Five Ghost King are the rulers of the Seven Grievances Plain. Each of them possesses great supernatural powers and is renowned in the Lingxiao Shengjing and the East Sea. The transcendent humans and Demon Race have interacted with them for thousands of years and know each other inside and out.
"Presumptuous!"
The Nether Dragon King manifested its true form as a jet-black dragon, letting out a deafening roar as its claws soared through the clouds and hurtled towards the heavens.
Its dragon-like body flew above the phoenix tree mirage, causing changes in the celestial phenomena.
The rain was torrential and the wind was biting cold.
The Nether Dragon King considers himself the ruler of the East Sea. The reason he agreed to the excavation of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton this time is to take this opportunity to break through to the realm of Martial Path Son of Heaven and complete his dragon transformation.
Whoever causes trouble will die.
But after soaring into the air, the Nether Dragon King quickly calmed down and saw that the surrounding area was shrouded in dark mist. From the darkness came terrifying auras, indicating that it was not just the five Ghost Kings of the Seven Grievances Plain who had arrived.
A crimson dragon corpse floated on the sea eight hundred miles away, its head severed, its blood staining a large area of the sea red.
That was the Nether Dragon King, whom the Red Flood Dragon King had placed by the sea to guard the Netherworld of the Departed, and he was killed silently.
It is evident that the Netherworld has come with formidable force and is well-prepared. They know who their opponent is, and this is not a rash act on a whim.
"Haha, the excavation of the ancient Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton is such a big event that it will surely disrupt the balance of power among the surrounding forces. Since you didn't inform us in advance, we had no choice but to come uninvited." One of the five great Ghost King, the hungry ghost "Piao Can", appeared on the sea with his emaciated body.
It materialized into a real ghost body, with a naked upper body, a shriveled belly, and ribs, and beneath its feet was a whirlpool of seawater with a diameter of a hundred miles.
The Nether Dragon King emerged from the clouds, its ferocious head the size of a hill protruding from its mouth, crackling with lightning. "Who killed the Red Flood Dragon King?"
It's me.
From the darkness, a giant emerged.
The giant was half in the sea and half on the surface, wearing a purple robe with woven patterns, and his long hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
It was a very strange sight; it was clearly humanoid, yet terrifyingly tall.
Its body reeked of death, and its facial features were decayed, making it look like a faceless person.
As it emerged from the darkness, the corpse energy emanating from its body spread across the sea and surged toward the Nine Dragon Locking Pillars. Instantly, the calamities surrounding the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton became even more terrifying, with blood springs continuously gushing from the ground.
The iron chains on the dragon's skeleton trembled incessantly, and wisps of gray mist seeped out from its scales.
It's very similar to the legendary Corpse Transformation.
Even those who are detached from worldly affairs are filled with trepidation.
"So it was the Giant Spirit Corpse King who arrived in the East Sea!"
"Let's all fight together! The Dongxu Ghost City is mobilized! Let's drive them back!"
The Giant Spirit Corpse King is extremely famous in the Netherworld of the Departed. Legend has it that he is a new spirit born from an ancient Ancient Immortal Giant, who has been sleeping in the Corpse Sea of Rotting Marsh for many years and only obeys the orders of the Dongxu Ghost City.
