Chapter 2381: Black Corpse Continent (1/2)

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

The space in Huang Xiaolong’s Darkness Holy Ring was getting filled up as the days passed. Even Huang Xiaolong hadn’t expected that there would be so many holy herbs and origin spiritual herbs located at the bottom of the bottomless river.

How could they classify it as a holy herb treasure trove? It was obviously a super treasure trove!

Even though it had only been a year, Huang Xiaolong had already located more than four hundred stalks of holy spiritual herbs! As for the high-grade origin spiritual herbs, Huang Xiaolong didn’t bother counting them after a certain amount.

Along the way, he had obtained all the origin treasures he needed to complete his tasks.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong didn’t focus fully on collecting the herbs. His strength had already reached the peak of the early-Seventh Order Venerable Realm. With a little inspiration, he would be able to step into the mid-Seventh Order Venerable Realm!

During his search for the herbs, Huang Xiaolong met several profound beasts and he subdued a few of them along the way. Only those who were at the Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm could catch his eye.

With the terrifying number of profound beasts, Huang Xiaolong was a little pickier when it came to choosing those he wanted. Only those who had great potential and those with the ability to enter the True Saint Realm were chosen.

Even with his shockingly strict criteria, Huang Xiaolong managed to capture around a hundred and ten of them in a single year.

With a hundred and ten Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint Realm profound beasts unleashing the Holy Dao Grand Formation, they would be able to injure ordinary First Heaven True Saint experts!

The only thing that caused Huang Xiaolong’s head to ache was the fact that he had failed to locate the grandmist holy spiritual aura and the holy lake! He had passed through tens of continents, but they were nowhere in sight!

Throughout the year, it went without saying that disciples of the holy grounds he had run across would set their sights on ‘poor little’ Huang Xiaolong.

All of them who dared to challenge him suffered the same fate as Chen Zifeng of the Scarlet Flame Holy Gate. They were completely devoured by Huang Xiaolong. Those who died at his hands weren’t few in number, and they allowed Huang Xiaolong’s saint attributes to soar up the rankings.

Without him noticing, his saint attributes ranked in the eighties.

Even though it was only a mere increase of 20 ranks from the time he had left the Holy Heavens City, Huang Xiaolong’s combat abilities had increased by more than twenty percent!

When one’s saint attributes ranked in the hundreds, their strength would increase by a huge amount with a jump in the ranks.

“Young Master, the Black Corpse Continent is located right up ahead.” Chen Zhi, who was following behind Huang Xiaolong, reported respectfully.

After a year of subservience, the fear and respect he held for Huang Xiaolong had reached the limit. Like the Departing Sword Sage, they were terrified of the youngster!

Huang Xiaolong turned his head to stare at a black patch of space. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t see anything beyond the initial screen of darkness. Even with Huang Xiaolong’s holy soul, he felt as though his senses were obstructed from investigating the space.

The Profound River was dangerous, but there were certain spots inside that were forbidden lands several times more dangerous than the other areas in it!

The Black Corpse Continent was one of the deadliest locations in the river!

“Young Master, we should take another route and leave that place alone….” The Departing Sword Sage hesitated for a moment before trying to persuade Huang Xiaolong, “The Black Corpse Continent is extremely dangerous, and it’s not somewhere ordinary True Saint Realm experts would step into. Even if they do, it will be extremely difficult for them to leave! The profound beasts on the continent are really scary!”

Chen Zhi added, “Brother Wu Wo is right. Young Master, we should think of a way to go around it. The corpse devil qi around the continent is able to corrode the bodies of True Saint Realm experts!”

“I’ve heard that there’s a special holy herb growing in the Black Corpse Continent! It’s called the White Boned Dark Lotus!” As soon as he heard the introduction of the continent, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up.
