Chapter 502 3 Female War Demon Corpses
Two enormous, jet-black hands covered in scales and with scimitar-like nails.
It emerged from beneath the seal and began to pound wildly into the ground.
The cracks in the seal grew larger and larger, and the dark red light grew brighter and brighter, as if a volcano underground was about to erupt.
A dense cloud of demonic energy erupted from the crack, like a geyser, a dark mass that shot into the sky and blocked out the sun.
In that instant, Hehuan Valley went from day to night.
The demonic energy churned and twisted in the air, then slowly coalesced into a blurry phantom—
It was a face, without features, without expression, only a pair of blood-red eyes.
Those two eyes, as big as lanterns, floated in mid-air, looking down over the entire Hehuan Valley, like the Grim Reaper scrutinizing the human world.
Those eyes held no emotion, no anger, no hatred, no malice—nothing at all.
But it is precisely this "absence" that is most terrifying.
Because it doesn't care who you are, how strong you are, or who stands behind you.
It just wanted to come out, just wanted to kill, just wanted to devour everything.
Everyone whose eyes swept over felt as if their souls were being gripped by something.
The feeling is like a drowning person desperately trying to grab onto something, but unable to grasp anything and can only sink.
One of the disciples collapsed to the ground.
Some people rolled their eyes and fainted.
Those eyes paused for a moment when they swept over Lin Chen.
In that instant, Lin Chen felt a hand reaching into his head, but he looked back expressionlessly.
The pupils of those eyes contracted sharply, then quickly looked away.
At this moment, Lingbo's sword light slashed again.
This time, she gave it her all.
The silvery-white sword light transformed into a streak of light, streaking across the sky like a giant silver dragon tumbling through the air.
Then it suddenly swooped down and struck the ball of demonic energy.
Wherever the sword light passed, the air was torn apart, producing a sharp, explosive sound.
"Sizzle—"
The demonic energy was split open.
It's like a black cloth being torn in the middle, revealing the blue sky behind it.
But those demonic energies seemed to have a life of their own; after being split open, they would recombine behind them, flowing back like water and closing up again.
Lingbo's brows furrowed even more.
Chi Meng's Gu worms began to gnaw at the demonic energy from within.
Thousands upon thousands of Gu worms burrowed into that mass of demonic energy, devouring it bit by bit from the inside.
With each piece it devoured, the ball of demonic energy shrank by one size.
However, the demonic energy was too dense and intense; Chi Meng's Gu worms could not fly in the demonic energy for long before they were corroded.
Thousands of Gu worms have already died.
Chi Meng's lips turned purple. The Gu worms were connected to her mind, and with each one that died, her mind suffered a little damage.
But she didn't stop; her fingers kept moving, controlling the remaining worms to continue gnawing.
Yan Ruyu's beam of light bombarded him again and again.
Each strike carried away a large amount of demonic energy.
The pink light exploded amidst the dark red demonic energy, as dazzling as fireworks.
But beneath that splendor lies a life-or-death struggle.
Her face was as white as paper, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, but she did not back down.
Zhao Ming and Liu Yu were also running out of steam. Both of them had exhausted most of their spiritual energy. Zhao Ming's purplish-pink spiritual energy was starting to thin out, and Liu Yu's pink spiritual energy had also dimmed considerably.
Three peak Celestial Immortals and two early and mid-stage Celestial Immortals faced off against a half-step True Monarch trapped underground.
Logically, it should have been a one-sided victory.
However, the demonic corpse had been sealed for ten thousand years, and its malevolent energy was too strong, and its vitality was too great.
It is not afraid of pain, death, or injury; it has no fear, no hesitation, only the instinct for savagery and devouring.
"boom--"
The demon corpse suddenly slammed its two hands together, like two mountains colliding.
A burst of violent demonic energy exploded from his palm, spreading outwards in a ring in all directions. Wherever it passed, the air distorted, spiritual energy became chaotic, and fragments of the seal were blown everywhere.
The shockwave struck Lingbo, knocking her back several steps.
Several black marks, eroded by demonic energy, appeared on Lingbo's white robes, resembling burn marks.
She groaned as she crashed into Chi Meng, and even more blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The light collided with Yan Ruyu, causing her pink beam of light to flicker and almost dissipate.
Zhao Ming and Liu Yu were blasted away and crashed into the distant mountain wall, creating two large craters in the shape of human figures.
The two slid down from the pit, collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, their faces deathly pale.
Lingbo steadied herself, and the sword light rose again; her swordsmanship had changed.
The previous sword light was straight, fast, and sharp, like a scalpel.
The sword light now appears curved, soft, and continuous.
Like a silver ribbon, it wrapped around the demon corpse's two palms, tightening round and round.
Chi Meng's Gu worms have regrouped.
She bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the natal Gu mother in her hand.
The Gu Mother is a palm-sized purple beetle with a golden "King" character on its back.
After absorbing the essence blood, it emitted a low buzzing sound and then suddenly flew out of Chi Meng's hand.
New worms split off from its body, thousands upon thousands.
More than before, denser than before, more ferocious than before.
The newly hatched Gu worms were pitch black with dark red patterns on their backs. They had actively absorbed the demonic energy and turned it into their own power.
They are evolving!
Yan Ruyu bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the pillar of light, and then began to form hand seals.
"Senior Sister!" Zhao Ming called out from afar, his voice filled with anxiety.
Because she could tell that Yan Ruyu was preparing to burn away her own lifespan.
At this moment, Lin Chen spoke calmly: "Don't rush, take your time."
Lin Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring power.
"This is a test for you!"
Yan Ruyu glanced at Lin Chen, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she withdrew the life force that was about to burn.
Because she knew that Lin Chen was saying this to cover for her.
She can confidently hone her skills and challenge the True Lord's barrier.
Lingbo glanced at Lin Chen but didn't say anything.
But her sword light became even more ferocious, each strike delivered with full force, without any defense, preparing to seize the opportunity to touch the True Lord's barrier.
Chi Meng also glanced at Lin Chen, her fingers twitching slightly.
More Gu worms split off from the Gu mother and surged toward the demon corpse like a tide.
Her Gu worms need to devour the flesh and blood of powerful beings to evolve, and the demonic corpse of a half-step True Monarch is the best nourishment.
The three women fought with increasing ferocity, fully unleashing all their lifelong learning and strength.
The battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
But that one incense stick felt like a hundred years had passed.
Lingbo's sword light left hundreds of wounds on the demon corpse.
Each wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and black blood gushed out from them like streams of black water flowing from the ground to the surface.
Chi Meng's Gu worms devoured the blood and flesh, growing stronger.
Yan Ruyu's pink beam of light bombarded the demonic corpse again and again, peeling away its demonic energy layer by layer until the core was revealed.
The demonic corpse's aura grew weaker and weaker, but its struggles became increasingly frantic.
Its two hands were frantically pounding the ground, its nails digging into the rocks with a piercing sound.
The sound came from underground, sending chills down your spine.
"It's making its last struggle." Lingbo's voice came from mid-air, still calm, but with a hint of weariness.
"Then give it the final blow." Yan Ruyu's voice carried a ruthless edge.
The pink beam of light suddenly contracted, transforming from a thick cylinder into a tiny but extremely concentrated point of light.
Yan Ruyu was trembling all over.
"Lingbo!" Yan Ruyu called out.
Lingbo understood instantly.
Her sword light merged with Yan Ruyu's radiant light.
The silvery-white sword light enveloped the pink dot of light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky and plummeting straight into the earth.
"boom--"
The spot of light struck the demon corpse's head.
It exploded.
The white light engulfed everything.
Everyone went blind at that moment; all they could see was a white blur, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Then—the demonic corpse cried.
It wasn't the creature crying, but the souls that had been devoured within it.
Ten thousand years ago, it devoured countless lives, and the souls of those lives were imprisoned within its body, unable to be reborn or find peace.
Now that the demonic corpse is dead, those souls are finally free.
Countless white lights flew out from the ground, circled in the air, and then slowly dissipated in the wind.
