Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 303: Chapter 167: Foundation Establishment War Commences (Part 2)

No matter how strong Shankui’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Totem is, it will be forcibly weakened by at least 10% within the Twelve Spirit Control Array. In this way, with Fellow Daoist Ming and I teaming up, we may not be unable to kill him.

Moreover, with the six Soul Puppets around, they can help at the right moment.

In this way.

What does Shankui have to steal this Golden Core Technique?

The Golden Core Technique is considered a treasure in the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, only practiced by those in Foundation Establishment Perfection or those late-stage Foundation Establishment with outstanding achievements. So today, even if I have to risk my life, I must obtain this technique.

However, judging by the situation now, there seems to be no need to risk my life.

It was at this moment that several streaks of light swiftly rushed over, rapidly approaching the exit of the Celestial Extinction Ruins.

It was Shankui, Feng Jue, and two others.

”Get ready!”

Ye Men was filled with killing intent.

The next moment.

Feng Jue’s icy voice came immediately.

”Do you think only you set up a contingency?”

Feng Jue also took out an array disc at this moment, pouring a large amount of Spiritual Qi into it. As the array disc turned, the entire Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, hundreds of miles in extent, was rapidly engulfed in a black curtain. The mighty ghostly energy surged in, like tidal waves, and the twelve spirit pillars of the Twelve Spirit Control Array were overwhelmed at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, within the area of hundreds of miles, ghostly energy completely enveloped it, and those in the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Qi Refining Cultivators and Two Sects Five Peaks were directly devoured the moment they came into contact with the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi.

Their ghostly energy techniques and talismans were difficult to resist, and as for the Qi Refining Cultivators submerged by the ghostly energy, even those in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, their souls were rapidly devoured by the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi, leaving them powerless to fight back.

As for Ye Men and the others, when the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi arrived, they immediately used their protective talismans to shield their bodies. Even though they temporarily resisted the advance of the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi, they were trapped and could only watch helplessly as their fellow cultivators were devoured one by one, their three souls and seven spirits consumed.

”If your Twelve Spirit Control Array had been set up before mine, this Soul-devouring Lifeless Array could not have been activated. Unfortunately, you were one step too late.” Feng Jue appeared slowly amidst the eerie ghostly energy.

Shankui and the others followed closely behind.

Fang Xiaolin’s face no longer bore the smile it had before. He shook his head desperately, ”No, it’s impossible, definitely impossible. As soon as the restriction in the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein was lifted, we immediately began to set up the Array.

If you were also setting up an array, it would be impossible to evade our eyes; even if we didn’t notice, the second-tier demons were rampant in the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, you wouldn’t have remained silent!”

Feng Jue smiled smugly, ”There’s no such thing as impossibility. The Stealth Technique of the Three Life Gates is stronger than you imagined.”

The words fell.

Feng Jue felt joyous again in his heart.

Think about it.

No matter how hard you rack your brains, you couldn’t possibly imagine there’s someone as adept in escape techniques as Han Li.

”Senior Brother Ye!”

Fang Xiaolin was completely panicked now because he could feel the Protective Talisman’s Spiritual Qi rapidly depleting. This clearly indicated that the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array set up by Feng Jue was certainly tier two top grade.

If it were just an ordinary tier two top-grade Soul-devouring Lifeless Array, with six Soul Puppets and Ye Men and the others present, it wouldn’t be feared.

Even if unable to break through, they wouldn’t be doomed. They could just call for help, and within three to five days, someone would come to save them.

But this tier two top-grade Soul-devouring Lifeless Array had clearly devoured a large number of Demon Souls. The strength of its Soul-devouring Ghost Qi had reached the top-grade peak, and it likely could kill late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators without issue, let alone them.

Ye Men looked extremely grim at this moment, ”Request aid from the nearest peers but don’t shut down the Twelve Spirit Control Array. As long as this array is still active, the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array’s lethality will be somewhat suppressed, as will Shankui and his group. If the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array is closed, we’re afraid we won’t last until the reinforcement arrives.”

Fang Xiaolin quickly took out a Communication Stone, but just as he was about to use it, Feng Jue had already attacked, and simultaneously, the ghostly energy within the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array surged towards them.

Boom—

In an instant.

Fang Xiaolin’s Protective Talisman shattered with a sound.

”Senior Brother Ye!” Fang Xiaolin swiftly retreated, shouting continuously, while the six Soul Puppets immediately charged at Feng Jue.

However.

The six Soul Puppets were instantly engulfed by the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi, though they did not have their three souls and seven spirits devoured as rapidly as the Qi Refining Cultivators, they were essentially puppets, strong but possessing souls.

Thus, once entangled by the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi, the six Soul Puppets had no means to fight back or protect themselves.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaolin’s expression changed dramatically; he immediately took out another Protective Talisman and transformed into a streak of light to escape continuously.

Ye Men and the others wanted to help, but Shankui and the other three had already come, with Shankui’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Totem crashing to the ground. The explosion of ghosts and the surge of the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi turned half of the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein into a Ghost Realm.

Ye Men and the others unleashed talismans, magical artifacts, and techniques simultaneously, merely to protect themselves, but were incapable of aiding Fang Xiaolin.

...

Meanwhile.

Wen Jiu and the others were expelled by the repelling force of the Celestial Extinction Ruins. Upon coming out, they saw the pervasive Soul-devouring Ghost Qi and the cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks and Two Sects Five Peaks engulfed by it.

Screams and cries resounded endlessly as one person after another fell, with no one able to escape.

”Master!”

Shan Yue Ru was startled.

Yet.

The next moment, everyone from Deadman Peak found the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi notably bypassing them. Even as it swept past, it did not harm them. Initially, Shan Yue Ru and others were surprised but still fearful, yet when they started moving outward and found the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi avoiding them, they finally felt at ease.

Eastern Celestial City immediately looked at Wen Jiu, ”Fellow Daoist Wen?”

Wen Jiu responded, ”Leave immediately, do not look back. With the Array Order present, these Soul-devouring Ghost Qi won’t harm you.”

Eastern Celestial City’s expression tensed, and waves of shock stirred in his heart, realizing the formidable effect of the Array Order Wen Jiu previously gave him.

The cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks and Two Sects Five Peaks were currently with no one left unscathed. Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky were suffering from the pain inflicted by the Soul-devouring Ghost Qi. Without this Array Order, they would be the ones dying now.

”Go, go, go!”

Eastern Celestial City instantly moved, leading Ye Chen and the others to walk in the opposite direction away from the battlefield.

Proceeding smoothly.

The Soul-devouring Ghost Qi automatically avoided them.

No one saw this; no one had the mind to watch Eastern Celestial City and their group, considering they were all struggling to survive. Wen Jiu also accompanied them, though his Divine Sense remained focused on the battlefield.

Currently, Fang Xiaolin was being pursued by Feng Jue, completely powerless to counterattack; Shankui easily suppressed Ye Men and another, aided by the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array’s pressure, leaving Ye Men and his colleague utterly embarrassed.

As for the other two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from Divine Extermination Thousand Peaks, they were being tormented indignantly by the Soul-devouring Lifeless Array.

If this continues, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks would be inevitably defeated.

”I hadn’t anticipated that Feng Jue’s Soul-devouring Lifeless Array strategy would turn out superior; seems I won’t need to intervene.” Wen Jiu thought silently, following Eastern Celestial City.

He had already obtained what he wanted from this trip, and was uninterested in the Celestial Extinction Mountain’s Golden Core Technique, so Shankui, Feng Jue, and the others didn’t require assistance, sparing him unnecessary trouble.

From now on, he needs only to observe from afar to ensure Fang Xiaolin and the others perish in the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein.

Because if Fang Xiaolin and his company do not die.

Deadman Peak would remain unsettled.

While progressing smoothly, Ye Chen, Bai Jianxin, and others noticed it was the Array Order protecting them. As they understood this, relief mingled with apprehension and curiosity as their gazes turned toward Eastern Celestial City ahead of them, with eyes shining strange colors.

At this moment, they all felt they could not comprehend Eastern Celestial City.

Why would Eastern Celestial City possess an Array Order from Wusheng’s Three Life Gates Yin Array?

”Senior Brother?”

Ye Chen couldn’t resist sending a voice transmission to inquire.

Eastern Celestial City directly replied, ”The Array Order was given by Fellow Daoist Han, and I didn’t expect it to have such effect.”

”It was Han yet again.”

Ye Chen thought with growing trepidation.

Who exactly is this Han Li?

Could he truly be a person from Wusheng’s Three Life Gates?

Yet if he were of Wusheng’s Three Life Gates, why assist them, Deadman Peak?

Eastern Celestial City seemingly conjectured Ye Chen’s inner thoughts and promptly transmitted to everyone, ”Do not fuss over it, Fellow Daoist Han isn’t part of Wusheng’s Three Life Gates. Perhaps soon, you will learn his true identity.”

In Eastern Celestial City’s view, a prudent personality like Wen Jiu would likely only reveal the truth after becoming a Golden Core Zhenren.

Golden Core Zhenren.

For Wen Jiu, this may not be out of reach.

Because he’s certain Wen Jiu found the East Spring River, not to mention producing an Undying Bone.
