Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 787: Chapter 440: Marching

”What if the number of Silver Corpses here was the same as the ghost count from the last place, and there were even Golden Corpses?” Elder Jin Kai’s expression was solemn as he looked at the Silver Corpse and asked aloud.

Initially, the Nascent Soul Ancestors, who had somewhat underestimated these Silver Corpses, all started to take the matter seriously.

Not to mention the Golden Corpses, even if the number of Silver Corpses was significantly high, just their speed combined with the ability to devour spiritual power was enough to make things very difficult for these Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Let alone the Golden Corpses, the mighty Nascent Soul Ancestors couldn’t even block the sudden attack of a Silver Corpse on time, and one even got hold of a body. If a Golden Corpse did the same, not to mention them, even Elder Jin Kai wouldn’t dare claim to be safe.

The close combat ability of the Golden Corpses is extremely terrifying. The Golden Corpses cultivated in this Grotto Heaven might have other special abilities.

”The best approach right now is to have one person lead the way while the others boost his defenses to the maximum!” Elder Jin Kai glanced at the Nascent Soul Ancestors and offered his suggestion.

”I’ll lead the way!” Ancestor Lou Song from the Earth Evil Sect didn’t wait for the other Nascent Soul Ancestors to discuss and offered with a smile.

It wasn’t that he was trying to be a hero; he was simply the most suitable candidate.

Based on previous analysis, this Grotto Heaven had not only encountered two spaces so far; he had exerted himself to the greatest extent. Hence, future dangers would less likely target him.

”Mr. Lou, be careful!” Ancestor Lu nodded and spoke.

”Let me strengthen the defenses first; you all don’t hold back, add more defensive states to me!” Ancestor Lou laughed.

A yellow light constantly flickered on his body; the ’Earth Evil Demon Skill’ itself was an Earth Attribute Cultivation Technique, best known for its defense.

In no situation considering offense, he applied all the potential of the ’Earth Evil Demon Skill’ defensive Secret Techniques to his body.

In such conditions, maintaining the Dharma Manifestation form of the Nascent Soul Emergence was unsustainable for prolonged exploration, thus all his defenses were concentrated on his body.

Soon, his body was wrapped in thick yellow earth element spiritual power. Inside was Earth Evil Power composed of rule patterns, forming a dense armor over his body.

He nodded at the other Nascent Soul Ancestors, who also applied their strongest defenses on him.

The defensive light on his body thickened more and more, an array of colorful glows turning him into a multicolored sphere.

He patted his defenses with a satisfied nod.

”Let’s move out!” Ancestor Lou waved and said.

He took long strides forward, with the Nascent Soul Ancestors behind him watching his steps, each stepping in the footprints he left.

They had only walked a few meters when a Silver Corpse burrowed out from the ground and bit at Ancestor Lou.

However this time, it did not make contact with his body but was instead blocked by the outermost defense Secret Technique.

A beam of sword light flew by, beheading the Silver Corpse - it was Elder Sword who had made the move.

Elder Sword didn’t need to reserve any strength to kill such a Silver Corpse.

”This Silver Corpse is strange; it still devoured some spiritual power with that bite!” Ancestor Lou assessed the condition of his body and said gravely.

Although there’s no threat, the abilities of the Silver Corpses are still too strange. Normally, Silver Corpses use their sharp claws in close combat, and biting, which also devours spiritual power, is rarely used by Silver Corpses in battle.

But the last two Silver Corpses both used biting, and both devoured spiritual power.

While speaking, Ancestor Lou continued forward; as he proceeded, more Silver Corpses emerged from the ground. Initially, it was a few meters per corpse, but later, several Silver Corpses appeared with each step.

Not to mention Ancestor Lou, even the Nascent Soul Ancestors following him felt their scalp tingle; each Silver Corpse must have been transformed from at least one corpse. If the whole space is like this, how many corpses would it take!

Although the Nascent Soul Ancestors had long transcended common worldly views and were accustomed to life and death, they had not reached a point where they completely disregarded life.

Ancestor Lou, feeling the external situation, realized that although Silver Corpses appeared repeatedly and devoured some spiritual power, the defenses applied by other Nascent Soul Ancestors were on the outside. Only when the external defense’s spiritual power was exhausted would his own be consumed.

So his condition was still good, and his heart was no longer as tense about the dangers here as before.

Just as he thought about this, a Silver Corpse with a faint golden hue burrowed out of the ground. It didn’t attack immediately but instead let out a screech.

This screech was not loud, but the reaction was immense.

Within a hundred meters radius around Ancestor Lou, the ground surged, and countless Silver Corpses burrowed out, attacking both Ancestor Lou and the other Nascent Soul Ancestors.

”Quick, kill that pale gold Corpse Refining!” Ancestor Lou shouted loudly.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fight back, but he was overwhelmed by countless Silver Corpses in this severely oppressive environment, unable to lock onto the pale gold Silver Corpse.

The Nascent Soul Ancestors behind him were relatively less attacked and could coordinate to free up their hands.

Elder Sword pointed, and his Lifebound Flying Sword shot out towards the pale gold Silver Corpse.

However, to his surprise, instead of attacking, the pale gold Silver Corpse burrowed back into the ground.
