Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

Gu Hongxiu clenched her teeth, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and down her chin. She subconsciously gripped Wen Qingye’s sleeve as blood gushed from the wound in her abdomen.

’Not good!’

A foul wind suddenly assaulted Wen Qingye. He knew he couldn’t face the Flying Corpse head-on. Instantly, he circulated all the Primordial Qi in his body, unleashed the Swift Wind Law, grabbed Gu Hongxiu’s arm, and hastily dodged aside.

”Quick... let’s go. This Zombie has already reached the Flying Corpse realm. It’s too strong. We have to go... *cough, cough*,” Gu Hongxiu said to Wen Qingye, her voice as faint as a thread.

Wen Qingye looked at Gu Hongxiu clutching his arm, a peculiar expression in his eyes. ’Should I refine Gu Hongxiu into a puppet?’ he thought. ’That way, I could exist within Taiyi Pavilion using her body.’

Before he could fully entertain the thought, Gu Hongxiu pulled a short, jade-white sword from her waist. Its entire body was translucent and sparkling, without a single impurity.

”This is the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword. Use it, quickly!”

Wen Qingye subconsciously took the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword from Gu Hongxiu’s hand just as he heard the garbled voice of the Flying Corpse behind them.

”Blood... I want blood...”

’This Flying Corpse’s mind is extremely unstable right now. The only option is to escape,’ Wen Qingye decided in an instant.

Just then, Wan’Er came to Wen Qingye’s side and urged, ”Hurry and activate the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword!”

Wen Qingye nodded, then frantically poured his Primordial Qi into the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword.

WHOOSH!

The moment the Primordial Qi surged in, the jade-white Sword Body began to change drastically. In an instant, the sword in his palm continuously transformed and grew, only stopping when it was two zhang long and half a zhang wide, becoming a giant White Jade Sword.

Wen Qingye tossed Gu Hongxiu to Wan’Er, then stepped onto the giant White Jade Sword. ”You take care of her. I’ll control the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword.”

The Thousand-mile White Jade Sword was an extraordinary Magical Artifact, considered a Low-Level Spirit Grade one. However, one should not underestimate this Magical Artifact, because it was a single-use item, a life-saving escape tool. Its value far exceeded that of ordinary Magical Artifacts.

Once used, it was gone forever.

In all of Taiyi Pavilion, no more than five disciples possessed such a Magical Artifact. Gu Hongxiu had only obtained it because her father was the Great Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Wan’Er nodded, then drifted behind Wen Qingye while holding Gu Hongxiu.

At that moment, the Flying Corpse also clearly sensed something was amiss. The purple light in its eyes flared, and two jets of purple flame shot out from them. This flame was shockingly one of the Supreme Origin Fire Seeds, ranked one hundred and seventh: the Earth Corpse Fire.

This Earth Corpse Fire had a unique characteristic: it could burn a Primordial Spirit. Although the effect was extremely subtle, it could have unexpected uses at critical moments.

Instantly, Wen Qingye felt a wisp of churning purple flame appear in his Sea of Consciousness, as if it wanted to incinerate his entire Primordial Spirit. But Wen Qingye’s Primordial Spirit was immensely powerful. Even in its current fragmented state, it was not something a mere Flying Corpse’s Earth Corpse Fire could invade.

’Hmph! Annihilate!’

In just an instant, the flame that had invaded Wen Qingye’s Sea of Consciousness was shattered and reduced to nothingness.

Wen Qingye stood atop the White Jade Sword. The sword flashed with white light and shot into the distance. Its speed was even a notch faster than the Ice Python’s when it used the Wind Control Skill, reaching an astonishing level.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A fierce wind kicked up. Wen Qingye condensed his Primordial Qi to block the roaring gale, dispersing it so that Gu Hongxiu and Wan’Er behind him were spared from the whistling cold. He also had to continuously pour Primordial Qi into the White Jade Sword, which consumed it rapidly. He immediately took out a Blood Profound Turtle’s Profound Pearl and crushed it in his hand.

Wan’Er hastily took out a pill and said softly, ”Red Venerable, here is an Emperor-grade High-level pill, a White Dew Pill. Please take it.”

Gu Hongxiu parted her lips slightly and gently swallowed the pill.

Just then, Wen Qingye’s brow suddenly furrowed. He shouted lightly, ”Watch out! That Flying Corpse is still behind us!”

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, Wan’Er’s face paled in alarm. She looked back and saw a black dot trailing them, following closely.

”That thing is too fast! Why is it following us?” Wan’Er asked in a low voice, her mouth slightly agape.

Wen Qingye pointed at Gu Hongxiu and said slowly, ”She must have some kind of Supreme Treasure in her body.”

”You... How did you know?” Gu Hongxiu said, looking at Wen Qingye in astonishment.

Wen Qingye said with a deadpan expression, ”Otherwise, why would the Flying Corpse come for you the moment it lost its senses? There must be something inside you that instinctively attracts it.”

After speaking, his eyes turned to the Flying Corpse behind them. He knew this Flying Corpse had already achieved Spirit Communication. It must have been that when it was breaking through in its cultivation, its aura was extremely unstable, allowing a trace of some origin to invade it, causing it to gradually lose its mind.

Wen Qingye’s gaze was like a torch, his eyes like lightning. He peered through the vast, misty cloud layers as he frantically poured Primordial Qi from his palm into the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword.

BANG!

With a crisp crack, the Profound Pearl in Wen Qingye’s hand once again turned into a silvery-white powder and scattered into the air.

Wen Qingye had no choice but to take out another Profound Pearl. The Primordial Qi was like a tide, like vast rivers and seas, which he then frantically absorbed into his body.

It had to be said, the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword’s speed was astonishing, but its consumption was equally immense. The vast Primordial Qi basically made a circuit inside Wen Qingye’s body, where he continuously purified it before pouring it back into the sword.

Under such high-intensity conversion, a bead of sweat appeared on Wen Qingye’s forehead.

That wasn’t the worst part. Under such an intense exchange of Primordial Qi, his meridians were constantly enduring the agony of its transformation.

CHI!

The moment Wen Qingye slowed, the speed of the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword also plummeted. From the distance, a foul wind rushed toward them, carrying an incomparably powerful killing intent.

At his current level of cultivation, Wen Qingye felt that sharp killing intent, and even his Heart Spirit wavered slightly.

’Can’t stop,’ Wen Qingye thought, gritting his teeth. He continued to pour Primordial Qi into the Thousand-mile White Jade Sword with all his might.

At that moment, Wen Qingye glanced back. The purple light in the Flying Corpse’s eyes was slowly dissipating, and a hint of black was steadily rising to replace it.

’This Flying Corpse is regaining its senses,’ Wen Qingye thought worriedly.

Compared to a mindless Flying Corpse, one with its wits about it was even more terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, the jade-white Flying Sword crossed the Mingzhu Strait region and disappeared near Yihai City.
