Chapter 849: Chapter 541: Blood Fiend, Evil Corpse (Ten Thousand-Character Chapter) (Part 5)
Under the starry sky, tens of thousands of formidable enemies surrounded them.
The two stood side by side, like a solitary boat that could capsize at any moment amidst the raging waves.
Chu Zheng could not perceive the turbulent emotions of Yun Tianji behind him, for his mind was entirely focused on the chaotic battlefield before him.
He covertly scanned all directions, his gaze passing over the half-step emperors whose auras soared to the heavens, as well as the many prodigies of the ancient clans. A growingly heavy sense of foreboding quietly seeped into his thoughts.
His gaze was like a sieve, filtering through tens of thousands of living creatures, yet he couldn’t find a single Martial Cultivator!
This was extremely bizarre.
To his knowledge, the number of Martial Cultivators who had entered the Heaven Burial Palace this time was definitely in the thousands, at least six or seven thousand.
How could such a large group be absent from this ultimate battleground, which gathered tens of thousands of living creatures, not seen even one of them?
Have they deliberately hidden themselves, or are they all dead?
At the same time, another aura he had been vigilantly searching for was also like a stone sinking into the sea, without leaving the slightest trace.
The Evil Corpse of the Master of Heavenly Fortune was also nowhere to be found, completely missing any sign of its aura fluctuations.
Under such circumstances, the Evil Corpse had not yet appeared. Could it be that it chose a method similar to the Good Corpse, choosing a living creature identical to Yun Tianji?
When something unusual happens, there must be a reason.
In the split second when myriad thoughts surged in Chu Zheng’s mind, at the highest point of the Star Dome, a previously relatively calm area of space was violently torn as if by an invisible giant hand.
A gigantic portal far exceeding the size of all previous teleportation gates, with edges flowing with thick dark red blood light, burst open with a roar!
A terrifying Blood Fiend Qi that made souls tremble enveloped the entire void like a tangible tsunami, spreading a sickeningly sweet and bloody scent, as if billions of living creatures were shedding blood at this very moment!
Countless sticky dark red blood, like a river bursting its banks, surged out from the enormous blood gate, instantly converging into an endless, tumultuous blood-colored ocean in the starry sky.
Amidst the rolling blood waves, there seemed to be the wailing sounds of innumerable residual souls, gripping the heart with terror.
This horrendous scene instantly drew the attention of nearly all living creatures on the battlefield, freezing the atmosphere in an instant.
Chu Zheng’s face suddenly tensed, and his pupils slightly contracted!
This aura… although even more violent and formidable than before, the core of its essence, he wouldn’t mistake it, it was undoubtedly the Evil Corpse.
It had finally arrived.
Under countless gazes, whether suspicious or precautious, a figure slowly emerged from the surging blood sea portal.
She tore through the sticky blood curtain, adorned in a dark red battle robe seemingly coagulated from countless blood droplets, with crimson blood beads still dripping continuously from the robe. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
It was a woman, tall and elegant, with a rare heroic appearance, yet her face was an abnormal pale, as if drained of too much blood.
She stood barefoot, with nothing underfoot, surrounded by a chilling and indifferent aura. Her eyes swept across the battlefield void of any emotion, only filled with deathly stillness.
Her martial robe was tattered in many places, stained with dried or yet to congeal blood, clearly indicating she had undergone extremely fierce battles.
She stood there like a drawn sword, sharp but silent and lifeless.
“It’s… it’s Xiao Dieqiu from the Martial Pavilion!”
Among the many ancient clans, someone recognized the woman’s identity.
“Perfection of Martial Saint, she is one of the leaders from the Martial Pavilion who entered the Heaven Burial Palace this time. It is said she is blessed with great Qi Fortune, protected by the Immortal Ancestor of the Martial Path, though not quite a true half-step emperor, still not far from it!”
Blood Flame among the giant gods flashed a deep solemnity in his eyes. From this woman, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura, pure killing intent capable of threatening his life!
Upon witnessing this, Feng Tingyun’s face registered mild surprise, then quickly suppressed her shock at the blood sea, her gaze paused.
Though Martial Path and Immortal Path are not the same, at this moment she needed to unite all forces she could, at least she couldn’t let Xiao Dieqiu side with Zheng Chu.
She immediately focused her Divine Sense, sending a voice transmission to Xiao Dieqiu who had just appeared:
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, please aid us in slaying Zheng Chu, and upon success, our Immortal Court will surely reward you generously.”
Her transmission seemed to elicit an immediate response.
In the starry sky, Xiao Dieqiu, donned in blood garments, expression indifferent, slowly turned her neck, her icy and lifeless gaze accurately landing on Feng Tingyun amidst the chaotic battlefield.
Then, under Feng Tingyun’s slightly expectant gaze, Xiao Dieqiu moved.
She stepped forward slowly, as if the void under her feet solidified, gently carrying her bare feet.
Step by step, she advanced, neither hasty nor slow, with an eerie rhythm, walking steadily toward Feng Tingyun’s location.
Upon seeing this, Feng Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief, her long-tense nerves slightly relaxed.
With this peak Martial Saint expert’s assistance, the threat of the immortal-banishing rune would be greatly diminished, capturing Zheng Chu would be effortless.
She even began to contemplate how she would negotiate with the other ancient clans over dividing the regions within the Heaven Burial Palace afterward.
A temporary ceasefire clearly benefits all sides.
Xiao Dieqiu remained silent, only walking forward. Her speed seemed unhurried, yet each step taken appeared as if she were Shrinking Earth into Inches, effortlessly traversing the starry battlefield and chaotic void currents.
