Before them, roughly fifteen meters away, there was a large cave, bathed in a milky-white glow.
It must have been the light emitted by the Spirit Stones, and not just that—the concentration of Spiritual Energy exceeded everyone’s imagination. Merely taking a single breath, even an ordinary person like Ruan Xiaoyu felt a surge of exhilaration and an abundance of energy as if all her fatigue had vanished.
"Hurry up!" The crowd became excited and quickened their pace, soon stepping into the cave.
"Incredible, unbelievable! It’s just too incredible!" Grandmaster Hu couldn’t help but yell out in excitement.
Even Ye Feng was surprised. In that space, on the mountain walls, Spirit Stones were embedded everywhere. The whole place was like the vast starry sky, with the dense Spirit Stones twinkling like stars.
Each Spirit Stone was at least the size of a peach, a completely different caliber from the ones they had found earlier. The sight of so many Spirit Stones startled Ye Feng.
Such a place wouldn’t only have medium-grade Spirit Stones; there might even be top-grade Spirit Stones, which were exceedingly rare on Earth for thousands of years.
"Look! This is Spiritual Liquid!" Ruan Xiaoyu exclaimed almost in a scream, her excitement uncontrollable. In the center of the space, there was a pool about three meters in diameter, filled entirely with Spiritual Liquid!
Legendary Spiritual Liquid, where the presence of a Spirit Stone mine could lead to the entire space being permeated with incredibly dense Spiritual Energy. When it reached its peak, it would sublime and transform into liquid.
That was Spiritual Liquid. Like Spirit Stones, it greatly aided in cultivation and had an additional effect of healing wounds. For ordinary people, it worked miracles, akin to mending flesh and fusing bones.
So much Spiritual Liquid could shake the world, driving any nation into a frenzy.
Unable to contain himself, Grandmaster Hu rushed to the front of the Spiritual Liquid Pool, gazing at the endless Spiritual Liquid. His body trembled uncontrollably with excitement, and the surrounding Martial Artists stirred, avidly staring at the Spiritual Liquid in the pool.
"Father can be saved, Father can be saved!" Ruan Xiaoyu shouted out in overwhelming joy.
Even Fu Shen stood still in shock. He had guessed that the Chiyou Divine Cave might contain Spiritual Liquid, but he had underestimated the accumulation of thousands of years.
Grandmaster Hu was beyond thrilled. Such an amount of Spiritual Liquid could easily allow him to cultivate from the Innate Realm to the Legendary Realm, becoming a Martial King as told in legends.
"Splash~~~" But just then, ripples appeared in the Spiritual Liquid Pool.
The ripples spread wider and faster until suddenly, in the middle of the pool, a figure rose, drenched in Spiritual Liquid.
It was a bizarre creature clad in golden armor, with wild hair, sharp fangs, and an incredibly ferocious countenance.
The creature, nearly two meters tall with grey skin and blood-red eyes, brought with it a terrifyingly extreme malevolent aura that enveloped the entire space upon its arrival.
The space transformed from heaven to hell in an instant, permeated with an eerie and violent atmosphere.
That violent aura was like a chaotic whirl of steel blades cutting through everyone, making them feel a slight pain in their bodies and even struggling to breathe.
The creature let out an angry roar that was deafening, and the whole cave shook violently under the influence of the sound waves, causing rocks to roll down continuously.
The roar tore through everyone’s eardrums.
"Ah~~~" Seven martial artists, including Grandmaster Hu, cried out in pain from the vibration, as blood flowed from their ears. Ruan Xiaoyu lay on the ground, covering her ears in agony.
"Golden Armored Poison Corpse..." Ye Feng said flatly after seeing the creature, maintaining his composure.
This was the taboo that the Black and White Miao Clan of the Holy Land would never dare to speak of.
The Golden Armored Poison Corpse, one of the strongest witchcraft techniques from the Witchcraft Holy Book, required the use of a body with a supreme yang constitution and, at a minimum, grandmaster-level mastery when alive. The body had to be placed in an extremely yin and chill place to absorb endless spiritual energy and be nourished, fed with the blood of thousands, and after hundreds of years, it became a terrifying killing machine.
Even peak grandmasters could fall victim to its backlash if they were not careful, being killed outright.
This was the Miao Clan’s Golden Armored Poison Corpse. Once it appeared, it would have the power of a grandmaster with an extremely high potential, its strength so great that it could even reach the Demigod Realm. It could completely transform, Return to Truth, possess the intelligence of an ordinary person, and look no different from one.
"Roar~~" The Golden Armored Poison Corpse let out a frenzied roar and leaped out from the Spiritual Liquid Pool with murderous intent. In the blink of an eye, it was beside two martial artists, striking them down with its limbs at the same time.
"Pu-chi!" With one swift motion, blood spurted out as their chests were pierced through. Two bloody hearts were in the hands of the Golden Armored Poison Corpse, which it then placed in its mouth and chewed with relish.
The four other martial artists took out their guns and opened fire in a frenzy.
"Da da da~~~" Bullets poured onto the Golden Armored Poison Corpse’s body, but they couldn’t inflict even the slightest damage.
"Roar~~" The Golden Armored Poison Corps roared and spewed green poison fog from its mouth, instantly enveloping the four martial artists.
"Ah~~" The four screamed in agony and were dead in less than two seconds.
At that moment, Fu Shen’s eyes sparkled with excitement, "Perfect, the Golden Armored Poison Corpse, this is the moment I’ve been waiting for!"
Fu Kun bellowed with excitement. Fu Shen took out a small jar, opened it, and an Ice Silkworm flew out, instantly entering the mouth of the Golden Armored Poison Corpse.
Fu Kun bit the tip of his tongue, spraying blood onto the face of the Golden Armored Poison Corpse.
Fu Kun hurriedly used his witchcraft in conjunction with the Ice Silkworm, attempting to control the Golden Armored Poison Corpse.
Little Ai exclaimed in surprise, "Fu Kun, don’t be impulsive, your witchcraft isn’t strong enough to control the Golden Armored Poison Corpse!"
But no sooner had the words left her mouth than the Golden Armored Poison Corpse stopped its movements and grew quiet...
