Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 589 - 371 Fierce Battle and Escape
Chapter 589 -371 Fierce Battle and Escape
Zhao Sheng took a deep breath. The air that flowed through his nose and mouth was far from pure, laced as it was with iron sand-like fragments that slightly pained his throat and lungs. However, upon closer examination of its subtleties, he would discover that these “iron sand” particles were actually a product of dead and Spiritual Energy deposits, a very pure form of Deathly Yin Qi.
Having personally experienced it, Zhao Sheng silently exhaled. Within the Qiu Ling Sect’s gate, the Yin Qi was so concentrated and pure that normal cultivators would find it difficult to practice here; however, for Corpse Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators, it was undoubtedly a Cave Heaven Blessed Land that one could only hope to encounter.
“What a pity for such a spirit land to have become a haven for Corpse Ghosts. This Qiu Ling Sect gate is too perilous to stay in for long,” he lamented.
At this moment, Zhai Kong and Xiao Jiuke had completed their meditations and stood up.
Zhai Kong called out to Zhao Sheng, “Junior Brother, let’s go!”
Zhao Sheng nodded and was about to move when suddenly his form halted, and he abruptly turned his head toward the west side of the square.
The fog churned, and a collapsed palace was vaguely visible.
But just a moment ago, a terrifying malice had flashed by there.
Seeing this, Zhai Kong and the other person’s expressions turned solemn. Divine Sense burst forth, enveloping the ruins.
“Hmm, Junior Brother, what did you just detect? There’s nothing there.”
Zhao Sheng lowered his eyes, retracted his gaze, and casually responded, “Nothing, I might have sensed wrong.”
Xiao Jiuke and Zhai Kong exchanged glances but did not continue to question.
Shortly afterwards, the three of them left the square in tunneling light.
Whooo!
A chill wind blew over, the fog on the square roiling, and suddenly a dark ghost shadow appeared from the ruins, with two oily green eyes blinking in the darkness, sparkling with agility and intelligence.
…
Zhao Sheng and his companions flew past two mountains, carefully avoiding a series of connected architectural ruins.
Eventually, they arrived in front of a towering spirit peak, its upper half completely collapsed, leaving jagged jagged edges as if it had been twisted apart by an unimaginable force.
At this moment, on a clearing at the foot of the spirit peak, the first thing that entered Zhao Sheng’s field of view was several extremely robust figures.
Through the fog, Zhao Sheng squinted his eyes. Amidst a field of skeletons and dry bones, each person stood firmly in place, their bodies gleaming with a metallic luster.
These were seven people, all clad in helmets and fully covered in Golden Essence Armor. From their appearance alone, the armor’s surface shimmered with densely packed Golden Light Runes. Layers of ripples continuously spread from the surface of the armor, emitting an unbreakable, mountain-solid aura.
“Tianxinzi!”
Xiao Jiuke suddenly let out a long cry, his body radiating a black light. He dropped down abruptly like a meteor, the black light around him rubbing against the surrounding fog to create bursts of Green Flame.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng and the other person also followed suit and descended.
The three landed on the opposite side of the clearing, about seven to eight zhang from the seven men.
For a Golden Core Master, this distance was as close as an arm’s length.
Zhao Sheng looked at the person in the front, who was clearly the leader of the seven, as could be recognized from his armor.
This person’s armor was all in gold, with a helmet, shoulder armor, armor skirt, and heavy boots, all radiating strong treasure light. Intricately carved on it were ancient and primitive Spiritual Texts and patterns; it was indeed a set of low-grade magical treasures.
The most striking part was the ghastly ghost face carved on this person’s face armor, with edges that spread out into five fin-like sharp blades, looking bizarre and terrifying, chilling to those who saw it.
Zhao Sheng also noticed that this person had two things crossed behind his shoulders that seemed like flags or banners, five feet long, with both the flag surface and pole forged from golden essence, adorned with beautifully complex spirit patterns that dazzled the eyes and emitted a strong treasure light, clearly extraordinary.
Tianxinzi’s Golden Essence Armor was well-known in the Netherworld, not only as a rare High Grade Magical Treasure but also as a Treasure Armor which was extremely difficult for anyone below Nascent Soul to breach in defense.
Zhao Sheng suddenly felt that even Geng Gold Sword Pill might have trouble breaking through the defense of the Golden Essence Armor.
The six companions of Tianxinzi behind him wore heavy armors of varying styles, and the flowing spirit light on them was also extremely substantial.
However, all of them emanated a deathly aura, all being Golden Core Human Puppets.
“Well, well…” Zhao Sheng muttered to himself, truly witnessing the extent of Tianxinzi’s formidable assets today.
Honestly, facing such enemies, Zhao Sheng still felt some pressure.
“Xiao Jiuke, you’ve finally come!”
With that gloomy line, Tianxinzi’s face armor creaked open upwards, revealing a pale, gaunt face.
Tianxinzi looked very ordinary, only his pair of narrow eyes were hollow and cold, yet they held an inexplicable force, penetrating directly into one’s heart as if a heavy punch had struck the chest.
Xiao Jiuke, with his hands clasped behind his back and an arrogant expression, said to Tianxinzi, “Let your assistants come out as well! With the junk behind you, you wouldn’t stand three punches and two kicks from me.”
No sooner had he spoken than Zhao Sheng’s gaze abruptly shifted toward the halved spirit peak.
Ha ha!
A loud laugh emanated from there, and suddenly one, two, three overwhelming auras appeared under everyone’s Spiritual Sensing.
In an instant, three long rainbows shot into the sky, slicing through the fog and landing beside Tianyunzi.
The leader of these three unexpected guests wore an ugly eagle-beaked mask. Its ancient bronze pointed beak resembled a hawk, yet her stature was tall and slender.
Her silver-white armor fitted her body’s curves perfectly, sleek and smooth. The spikes and razor edges at the hands, elbows, knees, and other parts not only chilled the heart but also possessed a unique allure.
