The Sky Mirror was a treasure left behind by powerful cultivators from the past. With the help of this treasure, cultivators in the Hidden Realm could monitor what was going on in the outside world.
Normally, before those from Silver Snake Valley opened the door, they would activate the Sky Mirror to take a look at the outside world and make sure there were no Corpse Race mbers. Only then would they open the door.
To avoid getting their intention exposed, they didn’t activate the Sky Mirror in advance this ti.
Lu Ye and Ying Wuji were Outsiders, so they were naturally unaware of it.
As soon as Chu Ruoyu gave the order, cultivators guarding the place fished out a treasure that looked like a bronze mirror and infused their powers into it.
Following that, layers of ripples spread from the bronze mirror as though a stone had been dropped into a still lake.
As the ripples stabilised, they could look at the outside world from above through the mirror.
They looked into the mirror and saw two figures, who were Lu Ye and Ying Wuji. Dozens of kilotres away from them, there was a yellow cloud that rolled towards them like a sandstorm. Although cultivators from Silver Snake Valley were only glancing at the yellow cloud through the mirror, they could feel how nacing it was.
“Lin Xun has found out about their presence!” soone said gleefully. “They’re dood!”
“You’re so intelligent, Valley Master. You’re able to get rid of them without sacrificing any one of us.”
“They have to pay the price for barging into our Hidden Realm!”
“It’s such a sha, though. They’re fairly powerful. If they could join us…” The person shook his head. The one who had been captured could be ignored. On the other hand, Lu Ye wasn’t just fairly powerful; he was ridiculously formidable. Even if such a person wanted to join them, they would be ill at ease.
anwhile, Lu Ye and Ying Wuji turned to look in the yellow cloud’s direction.
Ying Wuji’s expression changed instantly. “Those are… corpses!”
He suffered a setback not long after he arrived in the Peerless Continent, so he was wary of a large group of corpses, especially when he wasn’t in tip-top condition now. Furthermore, the group of corpses seed more threatening than the ones he had co across before, which showed how imperilling they were.
“What are you waiting for? Run!” Ying Wuji turned to look at Lu Ye, who was glancing at a particular part of the sky. Puzzled, he asked, “What are you looking at?”
Lu Ye only remained silent. His powerful soul allowed him to feel that so people were watching them in secret. Although he wasn’t sure what was going on, he had so speculation in mind.
When the people in the Hidden Realm saw his aningful gaze, they were shocked.
“Has he detected our presence?” They found it inconceivable, for Lu Ye could detect the presence of the Sky Mirror. What was with this young man?
Chu Ruoyu appeared solemn as well. He had tried to overestimate Lu Ye’s power, but it now seed that he had still underestimated him. The ability to detect the Sky Mirror’s presence showed that his soul was imnsely powerful.
He felt lucky that they didn’t get into a conflict with him. Instead, they had granted his wishes.
At the sa ti, he was gleeful that regardless of how powerful the young man was, the latter would be dood since Lin Xun had been alerted.
Outside the Hidden Realm, when Lu Ye heard Ying Wuji urging him to leave, he asked impassively, “Do you even have the strength to run?”
“Even if I don’t have the strength to run, we still have to leave. Why don’t you carry ?” Ying Wuji appeared helpless.
He was tortured in the prison in the City of Wuyuan. Although he wasn’t fundantally hurt, his power had been affected. As such, he might not be able to run away from the corpses.
Lu Ye remained silent, and as Ying Wuji looked at him in shock, he took a step forward.
The next mont, the power around him surged. His fiery Spiritual Power spread across the Void. Ying Wuji couldn’t help but squint his eyes, unable to look directly at him.
The rolling Spiritual Power seed to have a spirituality of its own as it turned into Yin and Yang, which intertwined with one another and spread in all directions.
Ying Wuji, who had no idea what Lu Ye was doing, suddenly felt his chest tightening. A sense of horror gripped him, making him feel as if an ominous beast was about to break free from the cage.
The dazzling light contracted, and his vision beca clearer.
“This is…” Ying Wuji’s pupils dilated.
The Spiritual Power that exuded from Lu Ye was still unfurling rapidly. With him as the centre, a colossal divine bird was ford.
The divine bird hadn’t fully taken shape as it was only a contour, but its power was already astonishing. It was hard to imagine how powerful the bird would be when it was fully ford.
Not only was the divine bird gigantic and fluid-looking, but it also had a long tail.
The mysterious elents of Yin and Yang took shape, transforming into blood and flesh in its body.
Lu Ye’s Spiritual Power surged even more violently.
Around 30 kilotres away from them, the group of corpses seed to have realised sothing, so they growled into the sky. The rolling yellow cloud hastened its pace in an instant. The corpses were seen floating in the yellow cloud.
“What is that?” Inside Silver Snake Valley, the cultivators from the five Families, who were waiting to watch a good show, were flabbergasted. Disbelief was written all over their faces as they looked at the early shape of the divine bird.
Although they couldn’t feel the power of the divine bird as they were in the Hidden Realm, the bird’s size suggested that it was a spell that had the potential to destroy the world.
[Can the young man make such an amazing move?] At that mont, many people started sweating profusely.
Lu Ye’s ample power was released as it turned into Yin and Yang, which intertwined with one another and transford into blood and flesh that filled the divine bird’s body. Soon enough, the bird developed lifelike feathers as well.
The divine bird hovered in the sky as its imnse power spread. As if having been granted a life, the bird turned into a living creature.
Ying Wuji quickly moved away for more than ten kilotres. As he glanced at the fiery bird, he muttered under his breath, “Fire Phoenix!”
He suddenly recalled an incident. As he was also a cultivator in Jiu Zhou, he had looked into Lu Ye’s background before. He rembered hearing about this spell.
In the Carnage Colosseum, Lu Ye was weak, and he was hunted down by countless cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge. Left with no choice, he eventually used a Golden Body Token to protect himself. At that ti, he had activated this spell to slaughter his enemies even in such a despairing situation. After the incident, he beca famous on the Cloud River Battlefield.
Following the incident, so people argued that it was probably the power of a treasure. Considering Lu Ye’s cultivation at that ti, it wasn’t likely he could activate such a powerful spell.
Since then, no one had ever seen Lu Ye activate the spell again.
It wasn’t until this mont that the Fire Phoenix appeared again and ca into Ying Wuji’s sight. He finally ca to the realisation that it wasn’t the power of a treasure; it was Lu Ye’s own power.
Although the spell was powerful, it took ti to get prepared. If he was in a life-and-death battle, he probably didn’t have ti to activate the spell. Since it would take so ti before the corpses arrived, he was able to cast this spell.
[Isn’t this guy a Combat Cultivator? How has he mastered so many complicated spells?] The patterns that ford the spell dazzled Ying Wuji’s eyes. He felt that he could never master even a tenth of the spell in his lifeti.
Moreover, even an orthodox Eighth-Order Spell Cultivator in the Cloud River Realm couldn’t use such an abstruse spell. Not even a Real Lake Realm Master had such a powerful soul and precise control over his Spiritual Power.
[Lu Yi Ye is such a monster!] Although Ying Wuji was from the opposing side, he couldn’t help but be thrilled, thinking that cultivators from Jiu Zhou were indeed much greater in strength. They were much stronger than the cowards in Silver Snake Valley.
Around ten kilotres away, the group of corpses in the yellow cloud were heard growling again. This ti, they sounded more urgent and anxious.
It was apparent that the one controlling the group of corpses realised that sothing was off. If he couldn’t kill the person before the spell fully took shape, he would be dood.
However, it was too late. When the yellow cloud full of corpses reached a spot that was five kilotres away from Lu Ye, the Fire Phoenix in the air suddenly expanded its wings and flapped them. At that mont, it seed to have co to life.
A high-pitched caw was heard reverberating across the sky. The fiery figure rose into the sky and charged towards the huge yellow cloud.
Wherever it went, the scorching air blast distorted the Void. A red light belt ford behind its long tail, making it look surreal. Nevertheless, the beautiful creature carried with it trendous murderous intent.
The yellow cloud suddenly stopped. As Ying Wuji and the cultivators from Silver Snake Valley watched in shock, the group of corpses turned around and fled.
“They’re running away…” Chu Ruoyu staggered as he couldn’t believe what he saw.
Lin Xun was one of the strongest beings under the Corpse Marshal. He was so ferocious that even the three Hidden Realms had to stay away from him. However, such a powerful being, when faced with the divine bird, ran away without a fight.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to flee. Although the Fire Phoenix seed to be flapping its wings slowly, its speed was incredibly fast. Its colossal figure turned into a blazing light. In just ten breaths of ti, it caught up with the group of corpses.
The red light crashed into the yellow cloud. The clash didn’t seem to produce any repercussions, and the winner erged the next second. The yellow cloud burned, and the corpses inside it beca charred.
After the red light contracted, it expanded suddenly and covered a large area of the Void. Then, a rain that consisted of corpses fell from the sky.
When the dazzling red light dissipated, they were finally able to see what was going on. The Fire Phoenix and the rolling yellow cloud were gone. Only two figures hovered in the air.
One of them was a young man whose saber had been unsheathed. The other was a Corpse Race mber, and it was impossible to make out his face as it was charred. The saber had been jabbed slightly into the Corpse Race mber’s neck.
The Corpse Race mber raised his hand and grabbed the blade of the Inviolable Saber, struggling to save himself.
The entire world seed to have fallen silent. The next mont, a Saber Light flickered, and his head was severed from his body.
