Waste Is Shameful

At this moment, the Blood Qi on the pseudo-second-tier Copper Corpse was extremely dense, and even the rotting flesh on its body was stained with a layer of blood red, making it appear even more resilient.

Clearly, it killed many cultivators and drank their blood in a short period of time.

Unlike Song Wen, the Copper Corpse's physical body could directly convert the blood it absorbed into Essence Blood.

The blood that the Copper Corpse had absorbed had not yet been fully refined, and a large amount of blood was still stored in its body, causing its Qi and Blood and qi to surge and become mottled, somewhat similar to a demonic cultivator Qi Deviation while practicing martial arts.

The Copper Corpse was chasing Chai Bin, clearly also to absorb his Essence Blood.

After noticing the group of disciples from the Corpse Demon Sect and the Crimson Blood Gate, he shifted his attention to these eight people, abandoned Chai Bin, and charged towards them.

The soil beneath the Copper Corpse's feet suddenly exploded, and its body burst forth, its sharp claws gleaming eerily in the dark Ye Kong.

With lightning speed, its claws seized the calf of the slowest female cultivator.

In an instant.

Blood gushed out.

The female cultivator's calf looked as if it had been slashed by a sharp sword, broken off.

"Ah... Senior Brother Wang, save me..."

Amidst the female cultivator's pained and panicked expression, her body was slammed to the ground by the immense force of the claws.

Before she could even land, the Copper Corpse's claws suddenly gripped her neck.

Excitement gleamed in the Copper Corpse's blood-red eyes.

Its gaping maw opened, exhaling the stench of rotting flesh mixed with blood, and two yellowed fangs bit into the female cultivator's fair neck.

Amidst her pleas, anguish, and resentment, the female cultivator rapidly lost blood, gradually losing her breath, and her body became somewhat emaciated.

The Copper Corpse grabbed the female cultivator's head and yanked it hard.

The female cultivator's body was instantly split in two, and the body parts were casually thrown to the ground by the Copper Corpse.

The Copper Corpse twisted the female cultivator's head, which was still connected to her entire spine, with flesh and blood still attached to the spine.

The Copper Corpse opened the skull and poured the yellowish-white substance inside into its mouth.

After finishing the meal in two bites, the Copper Corpse casually tossed away the female cultivator's head.

Through the Black Armor Gu, Song Wen saw the female cultivator's horrific condition.

He shook his head.

This Copper Corpse is so unprofessional!

At least half of the Essence Blood in this corpse was wasted.

Moreover, the female cultivator's soul wasn't even absorbed; what a waste!

Waste is shameful.

A Black Armor Gu silently landed on the female cultivator's mangled corpse, dragged away the Storage Bag at her waist, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, another Black Armor Gu threw Wu Sui's Storage Bag in a relatively conspicuous location.

The Copper Corpse did not continue to pursue the remaining seven cultivators, but instead headed towards the dense forest to its left.

In its perception, there were three cultivators there, and at this moment, these three were the closest to it.

The three were members of the Mysterious Yin Sect, who were hiding in the darkness, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect and the Crimson Blood Gate.

Of these three, two Qi Refinement, and one Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

The person at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer was a young male cultivator in his early twenties. He had a pale face and, despite his young age, gave off a sinister feeling.

Somewhat surprisingly, the pale-faced man did not run away immediately, but instead stood in front of his two fellow disciples.

A three-foot-long Ghost-Head Saber floated in front of him.

"Annihilation Slash!"

The pale-faced man let out a soft chuckle, and the ghostly energy on his Ghost-Head Saber surged forth like a raging torrent.

With lightning speed, it swiftly slashed at the Copper Corpse.

"When!"

The Ghost-Head Saber struck the Copper Corpse's bare chest as if it were striking refined iron, producing a piercing, crisp sound.

The Copper Corpse was unharmed, only taking a slight step back.

It seemed to be completely enraged by this blow, its body reeking of corpse energy, and the sparse white hair on its head moved without wind.

"Howl!"

The Copper Corpse opened its massive maw, roared furiously, its face contorted in a grotesque and terrifying manner, and charged forward again with its blue face and fangs.

Seeing that his all-out attack had failed to achieve anything, the pale-faced man was shocked. After a brief moment of disorientation, a surge of ghostly energy erupted from his body, entangling a fellow disciple who was preparing to retreat behind him.

"Senior Brother Chen, what are you doing!"

The ghostly energy, like a thick rope, tightly bound the Mysterious Yin Sect disciple, who, amidst a scream, was suddenly flung backward and thrown towards the Copper Corpse.

Meanwhile, the pale-faced man took the opportunity to escape towards the exit.

Faced with food offered to him, the Copper Corpse had no reason to refuse.

The Copper Corpse grabbed the head of the Mysterious Yin Sect disciple and, amidst the disciple's terrified screams, crushed the skull with a single bite.

While it was absorbing the Essence Blood, it was also busy tearing off the man's hands and using them as weapons to throw at the fleeing pale-faced man.

Hearing the whooshing sound behind him, the pale-faced man didn't turn around and continued running with his head down.

A large amount of Yin Qi Yin Qi surged from his body, condensing into a pitch-black shield behind him.

"Bang, bang!"

His two arms slammed into the Yin Qi shield, instantly exploding into two clouds of blood mist.

The pale-faced man also staggered due to the huge impact from behind, almost falling over, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a metallic taste in his mouth.

The injured, pale-faced man dared not linger and continued toward the exit.

Standing below the exit of the secret realm, Chen Xiuming and the others now understood the terrifying power of the Copper Corpse.

The seven people exchanged glances and, with perfect understanding, flew towards the exit above their heads. A flash of white light appeared at the exit of the secret realm, and the seven disappeared into the realm. Not one of them offered to help the pale-faced man.

The other Mysterious Yin Sect disciples, who were hiding in the shadows, had all vanished without a trace and had not shown themselves.

The pale-faced man ultimately could not escape the Copper Corpse's pursuit. Less than a hundred meters from the exit of the secret realm, he was torn apart and had his blood and marrow drained by the Copper Corpse.

The Copper Corpse raised its horrified face, stained with blood and yellowish-white substances, and gazed at the dark exit of the secret realm above. In its two pupil-less eyes, an eerie red light flickered.

After a moment, the Copper Corpse seemed to realize that the Black Hole was the exit of the secret realm. It stood motionless below the exit, waiting for its prey to come to it.

Song Wen put the three Storage Bag that Black Armor Gu had brought back into his bosom.

Looking at the Copper Corpse atop the mountain, seemingly invincible and holding off ten thousand men, he shook his head.

A corpse is just a corpse. No matter how powerful it is, it can hardly amount to anything until it evolves sufficient intelligence.

The Copper Corpse appears to be the strongest being in the secret realm, and no cultivator can effectively harm it, but that is only in one-on-one combat.

Once the numerous cultivators in the secret realm are driven to a desperate situation, they will be forced to unite.

Even if this pseudo-second-tier Copper Corpse was strong, it couldn't withstand the combined power of everyone and ultimately met its demise.

The exit area of the secret realm remained quiet throughout the night, as quiet as if the carnage that had occurred at the beginning of the night had never happened.

The Copper Corpse stands like a night watchman, alone atop the mountain, unmoved since time immemorial!

By dawn, there were less than three hours left before the exit of the secret realm would close.

Scattered throughout the secret realm, cultivators seeking fortuitous opportunity began to gather, while those hidden in the shadows began to emerge.
