[What is this?] The mbers of the five Families looked at the petite column, bewildered.
None of them had seen such an item before, but they could feel that the spot where the item was located seed to have turned into a black hole as it madly absorbed the World Spiritual Qi. There seed to be a majestic storm of World Spiritual Qi in the Hidden Realm.
If they did nothing to stop it, all the World Spiritual Qi would be gone, and the Hidden Realm would fall apart.
“He’s so ruthless!” Chu Ruoyu felt his eyelids twitching. He had no idea what feud they had with Lu Ye that the latter had left behind such a vicious item.
“Dig it out right now!” soone growled.
Instantly, a cultivator stepped forward and tried to pull up the Divine Opportunity Column. He initially thought it would be an easy task, but regardless of how hard he tried, he was unable to move it at all.
Another person couldn’t believe his eyes, so he decided to help, but his attempt was futile as well.
“Oh, no! This thing has been connected with the ley lines!” An experienced, old cultivator finally realised sothing.
There was no way several cultivators were unable to pull up such a small item. The only explanation was that the item had been connected with the ley lines. If they wanted to move it, they would have to destroy the ley lines as well. That wasn’t a feat Humans could pull off.
“We’re dood!” A horrifying idea sprang into everyone’s mind. All of them staggered as their faces turned pale in an instant.
“Do we even have any blood feud with him?” Chu Ruoyu’s eyes were bloodshot. He couldn’t rember when they had offended the young man that prompted him to do such a thing.
Besides the cultivators in Silver Snake Valley, those in Mount Suru were in despair as well.
Not long after Liu Zhenguan was dead, the Families in Mount Suru were scrambling to fight for power. Before the dust even settled, an anomaly had taken place.
No sooner had the five Families of Silver Snake Valley discovered the power of the Divine Opportunity Column and the disaster it would bring than the cultivators in Mount Suru realised that as well.
As for the people in Purple Star Palace, they were mostly unperturbed.
They had gone all out for this war. All the cultivators had left the Hidden Realm to fight. Those who had stayed back were either old and frail or commoners who had never cultivated before. Therefore, even though the noise on the Spirit Peak where Lu Ye and the others had stayed was deafening, no one dared go over to look into it.
In the four Hidden Realms, as the Divine Opportunity Columns absorbed the World Spiritual Qi from the ley lines, the seals were broken. The petite Divine Opportunity Columns grew rapidly like four bamboo shoots. They beca large quickly and stood tall on the ground.
The one before Lu Ye and the others was the biggest they had ever seen.
All the Divine Opportunity Columns in Jiu Zhou were of the sa size. They were roughly the sa height as an average Human. However, the Divine Opportunity Columns in the four Hidden Realms were much taller than Humans, and as they absorbed even more World Spiritual Qi, they continued to grow.
The abstruse patterns on the Divine Opportunity Columns flickered as rays of light wandered around them.
The depleted ley lines brought about catastrophic consequences.
The incident that those from Silver Snake Valley and Mount Suru dreaded the most eventually happened. The Hidden Realms, which usually wandered around the Void without a permanent location, were suddenly exposed as the doors were opened.
When the news reached the major Families in Silver Snake Valley and Mount Suru, they felt as if it was doomsday.
Over the years, they had been free from the disaster caused by the Corpse Race and had continued to flourish because they relied on the uniqueness of the Hidden Realms. As long as they hid inside the Hidden Realms, the Corpse Race mbers would never find them.
Whenever they opened the doors, they were cautious in order to prevent the Corpse Race from discovering them. The uniqueness of the Hidden Realms was their biggest protection.
But now, after the ley lines were depleted, the protection that had been around for 1,000 years was suddenly gone. These people, who had been living in safety for years, and their Hidden Realms were exposed in the Peerless Continent. There was no doubt it was a fatal blow to them.
The four Divine Opportunity Columns in the four Hidden Realms grew to 30 tres and finally stopped.
In just a short ti, the ley lines in the four Hidden Realms were exhausted, and the World Spiritual Qi was so thin that it was almost imperceptible.
In the Muddy Sky Temple, on the Spirit Peak where the Divine Opportunity Column had been installed, the team of eight people from Jiu Zhou were in a life-and-death battle. They were in a perilous situation.
They had achieved their goal for this trip. Since the Divine Opportunity Column had been planted, it could never be pulled out. Even if the Golden Corpse King fully activated his power, he still couldn’t do that.
Now, Lu Ye and the others had to break the siege and leave this place as quickly as they could.
They had been trying to do just that. However, it was easy for them to co, but it was difficult for them to leave. A large number of Corpse Race mbers had surrounded them. They could even be found in the sky. In such a situation, it was impossible for them to leave.
Yang Yuan and Ju Jia, who had been bearing the most pressure, were all red. They looked like two crabs that had been fully cooked. That was a sign that their vitalities were boiling.
The team of eight people suffered various degrees of injuries. The current situation could be considered despairing for them. Check latest chapters at noᴠelfire
“Save !” soone suddenly exclaid. It was Ying Wuji, who was at risk of losing his life soon.
As a Ghost Cultivator, he could hardly put his skills to good use in such a situation. He was much weaker than the others when it ca to fighting the enemies head-on. Although Ju Jia was of a lower Minor Realm, he was a gifted Body-tempering Cultivator with a robust body. His ability to protect himself was even greater than that of Lu Ye.
It was only natural that the Corpse Race mbers had set their eyes on Ying Wuji, regarding him as the potential breakthrough. The Silver and Iron Corpse Marshals, who had been hiding among the corpses and waiting for a chance to strike, had repeatedly launched so sneak attacks on him.
Previously, the others had joined forces to ward off the attacks, but this ti, their hands were tied.
Ying Wuji had instinctively called for help. In a daze, he was overwheld by a great sense of fear. Not far away from him, the Silver Corpse Marshal extended his hand towards Ying Wuji’s chest after he was struck with an attack as his eyes radiated a silver glow.
Ying Wuji instantly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He wanted to retreat, but he was unable to do that. Just as he was about to get killed, he yelled, “Blood Flows on Infinitely!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a hand over his shoulder. The person exerted more force on his hand and pulled Ying Wuji away right before the Silver Corpse Marshal’s fatal attack reached him.
From the corner of his eye, Ying Wuji saw a fiery light flickering, after which an impassive voice was heard saying, “A Loyal Heart Lives on Forever.”
Ying Wuji was startled, for he didn’t know there was a following sentence.
Lu Qing and the others were speechless, wondering why the two of them were in the mood to recite a poem in such a dangerous situation.
Suddenly, a growl was heard. The Silver Corpse Marshal, whose arm had been hurt by the Inviolable Saber, imdiately disappeared into the crowd of corpses. His continuous growl showed his fury and wariness.
Before Lu Ye could take a breather, he was suddenly overwheld by a massive sense of danger.
At that mont, he augnted his perception. When he turned around, he saw an ordinary-looking zombie pushing out his fist from the crowd.
That was a simple attack, but it felt as if a storm was coming right at Lu Ye’s face. A golden glow radiated from the zombie’s eyes.
Lu Ye imdiately slashed at him with his saber as the muscles in his right arm bulged. In an instant, he attacked the opponent three tis as a Saber Light flickered. It was a combo attack.
Faced with a sudden crisis like this, a simple combat technique would be the most effective. Although the first move of the Tyrant Blade Technique was powerful, he didn’t have enough ti to summon his Spiritual Power.
The Inviolable Saber, which was blessed with Sharp Edge, didn’t cause any serious harm to the other party, unlike how Lu Ye was able to easily destroy the other Corpse Race mbers previously. The Corpse Race mber was only left with a flesh wound, which revealed his golden bones. On the other hand, the Corpse Race mber managed to strike Lu Ye’s chest with his fist.
Lu Ye felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and he was sent flying away until he crashed into the horrified Ying Wuji, who exclaid and staggered upon impact.
Since the Corpse Race mber managed to harm Lu Ye, he decided to seize the chance and kill him.
“Don’t you dare!” Lan Zi Yi finally broke free from the entanglent and wielded her sabers. She seed to have turned into a spinning gyro as her Saber Lights rained on the opponent.
Mu Qingyun also arrived with his sword and cast a mighty attack.
When clangs were heard, Lan Zi Yi’s expression changed. At that mont, she felt as if she was attacking a sturdy treasure instead of a Corpse Race mber. The sensation she felt coming from her hands made her realise that the opponent’s body was unimaginably solid.
A withered hand penetrated the Saber and Sword Lights. Following that, he extended both of his fists in a straightforward manner. Lan Zi Yi was forced to move backwards while Mu Qingyun could no longer beco one with his sword as his aura descended into turmoil.
“Golden Corpse King!” Lu Qing said suddenly as he finally identified the ordinary-looking Corpse Race mber.
It was said that Shi Sha was an ordinary disciple in the Muddy Sky Temple previously. After the Divine Transformation, he suffered from misfortune and turned into a Corpse Race mber.
He was the first Corpse Race mber in the Peerless Continent and the source of all other Corpse Race mbers in this world.
Over the past 1,000 years, the biggest mission for Purple Star Palace had been to kill the Golden Corpse King, and they had launched several offensives.
Nevertheless, they had never succeeded. The cultivators didn’t even manage to see the Golden Corpse King when they were killed by the other Corpse Race mbers. There was no doubt it was tragic.
When the Golden Corpse King’s aura ca to life as it spread across the place, they imdiately knew that he was a Champion-class being.
It wasn’t until both parties exchanged moves that they realised the Golden Corpse King was also the best of the best among the Champion-class beings.
As the first Corpse Race mber in the Peerless Continent, he had been cultivating for over 1,000 years. He had grown his power to an unimaginable level.
An unsuspecting Lu Ye was injured while Lan Zi Yi and Mu Qingyun failed in their attempt to help. The unimpressive Golden Corpse King broke through their formation like a flood and carried with him a terrifying aura.
