Chapter 869 Reaching the Evil Fiend’s Lair
Wherever Cheng Hong Ling went, her powerful Profound Ice True Qi spread wantonly. Everything it touched was frozen, and even the strange Yin energy couldn’t escape, its traces frozen in the air as if time had stopped.
The onlookers’ spiritual senses were restricted by the Yin energy, and they didn’t know what was happening inside. They only heard the roars inside quickly fading. Streaks of blue sword energy, like the rising sun breaking through darkness, tore through the frozen Yin energy with destructive force, heading straight for the heavens.
“Rumble…”
Countless frozen Yin energies collapsed, like city walls crumbling, emitting a thunderous sound. True sunlight finally began to shine upon the desolate land that had been corroded by Yin energy for hundreds of years.
Is this what a heavenly being is like? This destructive power is simply beyond the reach of mortals.
No wonder all people throughout history have wanted to embark on the Path of Cultivation. With such immense strength, one could do as they pleased in the Cultivation World.
The key point is that she is just a clone. One doesn’t know how powerful her Main Body is! With such a living heavenly being protecting the Lingxi Sect, the Cultivation World is destined for great harmony.
As the saying goes, when one person achieves enlightenment, even their pets ascend to heaven. I must quickly get my son to join the Lingxi Sect, even if he can only be a handyman.
Millions of onlookers discussed in shock.
When the people of Lingxi Sect heard these voices, even the cook in their team revealed a proud smile.
As the Yin energy around the Floating Corpse River “settled down,” its ferocious face, hidden for hundreds of years, was exposed to all eyes.
The interior of the lair had been so corrupted by Yin energy that it was beyond recognition. Looking around, the ground was covered in black ash, as if it had been ravaged by a great fire. Not only was there no green, representing life, but not even a single clod of earth the size of a fist could be found. All that remained were densely packed, frozen evil spirits, including terrifying existences like Golden Corpses and Golden Bones. Each one, if encountered alone, could destroy a sect. Just standing there sent chills down one’s spine.
Of course, even more terrifying was the Floating Corpse River itself. Because it had devoured so many lives, what flowed within it at this moment was no longer the legendary red river water, but a thick, magma-like flesh paste, mixed with the remains and blood of various animals. Countless evil spirits were gestured within it, struggling to crawl out. Looking at it was like the sewage of a slaughterhouse. Not only was it disgusting to look at, but it also emitted a pungent stench.
“Ugh…”
Many women’s stomachs churned at the sight, and they vomited directly. The men also turned pale, unable to look directly.
Cheng Hong Ling slowly flew towards the Floating Corpse River, her expression unchanged. She was not some pampered young lady from a wealthy family. Before Qi Huang appeared, she had carried the HongHua Sect alone and had seen too many shocking scenes.
“Gurgle… Gurgle…”
Just then, the river water of the Floating Corpse River began to churn violently, like a boiling pot. Dense evil spirits emerged from below and scrambled ashore one after another, including Golden Corpses, Golden Bones, and even some existences at the early stage of flying corpses.
“Boom… Boom…”
Countless evil spirits swarmed ashore along the river segment, which was hundreds of miles long, and converged into a mighty army. Like a black torrent, they charged towards Cheng Hong Ling. The earth trembled slightly under their trampling.
My goodness! How can the Floating Corpse River be so terrifying? Fortunately, the celestial being has set her heart on clearing this fierce land. If it were left unchecked, how would we resist it in the future?
Yes, this Crown Prince is too inhumane. For his own kingdom, he disregards the lives of ordinary people.
Hmph, now I understand why the Heaven’s Mandate Kingdom has fallen to this state. Let’s fight. Without the royal family, we will have a bright future.
All the citizens of the Heaven’s Mandate Kingdom discussed with lingering fear.
Cheng Hong Ling’s speed did not decrease, and the True Qi fluctuations around her became more intense, spreading outwards in waves. Wherever she went, everything was indiscriminably frozen, and no evil spirit could approach within ten feet of her.
Boom…
The earth trembled more and more violently. The cultivators in the air discovered in terror that the dozens of tributaries connecting to the Floating Corpse River began to writhe like snakes. They gradually lifted off the ground and stood upright, transforming into massive tentacles that pierced the sky, lashing down at Cheng Hong Ling with terrifying might. The space along the way cracked, crushing even the clouds and mist.
Oh my god! The Floating Corpse River has come alive?
I originally thought it was a single powerful evil spirit causing trouble here, but I didn’t expect it to be the Floating Corpse River itself. How can this dead thing move?
This number one brother in the Cultivation World is indeed living up to his reputation. If it weren’t for the celestial being making a personal appearance, we probably wouldn’t be able to eliminate it even if we exhausted all our descendants.
The onlookers were so shocked that they couldn’t breathe.
“There are also evil spirits at the peak of the Demonic Realm, but unfortunately, you’ve met me!”
Cheng Hong Ling remained unmoved and continued to advance.
The dozens of massive “tentacles” lashed down towards Cheng Hong Ling, casting a large shadow on the ground. However, they were all frozen as soon as they approached within a hundred zhang.
Cheng Hong Ling summoned her Blue Scale Sword and unleashed dozens of sword energies with a backhand swing.
“Swish swish swish…”
Dozens of massive sword energies, like crescent moons rising into the sky, effortlessly severed the frozen, massive tentacles.
“Impossible…”
A roar that sounded neither male nor female came from the direction of the Floating Corpse River.
Cheng Hong Ling appeared above the Floating Corpse River in an instant. She lightly tapped her feet, and the extremely dense Profound Ice True Qi poured down, rapidly freezing the river segment below.
“Roar!”
The Floating Corpse River suddenly let out a beast-like roar and then twisted like a python, attempting to resist the freezing.
However, the freezing speed of the Profound Ice True Qi was faster than a thousand-mile horse, advancing upstream and downstream of the Floating Corpse River with lightning speed. In just dozens of breaths, the thousand-mile-long river segment was frozen.
Cheng Hong Ling’s powerful spiritual sense emerged from her body, like a sharp sword, and poured into the frozen Floating Corpse River, then restrained it.
“Lift!”
Cheng Hong Ling shouted charmingly. With a forceful exertion of her powerful spiritual sense, she actually lifted the entire Floating Corpse River.
“Rumble…”
As the Floating Corpse River left the ground, the entire earth began to shake violently.
Cheng Hong Ling soared into the sky, then bit her finger and rapidly wrote on the Blue Scale Sword. Mysterious runes appeared one after another.
At the same time, everyone found that the sunlight overhead disappeared once again.
Dense dark clouds suddenly appeared, layering over the entire sky, like mountains weighing down on everyone’s hearts. Then, they began to squeeze and intertwine, emitting heart-shattering thunder. Countless lightning bolts as thick as buckets darted within them, desperately seeking an outlet.
“What is happening?”
Millions of onlookers below were terrified, their livers and gallbladders split. Many cultivators couldn’t maintain their flight and fell like birds with broken wings.
It was at this moment that Cheng Hong Ling moved. She stepped on ice lotuses, disappearing like a phantom under the enhancement of the Wave Butterfly body technique. The Blue Scale Sword in her hand drew streaks of sword energy, each cutting deeply into the frozen Floating Corpse River. The unfrozen mud inside began to overflow.
The purple lightning bolts in the dark clouds finally found an outlet. They tore through the night and struck the Floating Corpse River one after another. Because the mud conducted electricity, they flowed into it without any obstruction, electrocuting the evil spirits inside into ashes.
“Crackle… Crackle…”
Streaks of empty lightning bolts struck down one after another, as if endless. The Floating Corpse River couldn’t resist at all. After more than ten breaths, it disintegrated and scattered into dust with the wind.
Cheng Hong Ling wiped the blood runes from her sword. The dark clouds above gradually dispersed. The millions of onlookers below looked at her blankly, their faces filled with awe, as if they were looking at a deity.
“Ten days later, Lingxi Sect will continue its campaign against the Boundless Insect Country.”
Cheng Hong Ling announced expressionlessly. What she wanted to do was to break the courage of all the evil spirits on Kaiyuan Star.
…
A day later, Qi Huang and the others finally exited the Teleportation Gate, and the evil spirits’ lair, Wu Gen Star, appeared before her eyes.
