Chapter 114 – Shan Wugu
<hr>
Qin Yu stiffened .
A giant black hand appeared out of thin air, ruthlessly grasping towards him .
Bang –
Purple lightning erupted . Qin Yu swayed to the side, barely avoiding the attack . With a pale complexion, he looked up and ran away .
Shua –
A black figure appeared above the sea . It was ten feet tall and was condensed into a solid material body . There wasn’t the slightest bit of color in its pitch black eyes; they were like bottomless black holes that could swallow a person’s soul whole . The man locked his eyes on Qin Yu, as if he were staring at a delicious prey . A scarlet tongue slithered out, licking his lips before he opened his mouth wide and gave a deep howl .
A horrifying sound wave spread outwards at a wild and ultrahigh frequency . It vibrated like countless knives, capable of tearing everything to shreds .
Qin Yu cried out loud before plummeting into the sea .
The sea corpse monsters swarmed around him and fished him up . Although they drooled with desire, none of them dared to do anything to him .
Looking at the delicious b.l.o.o.d.y morsel in front of him and smelling the scent of humanity, the high level specter revealed naked greed in its dark eyes . It was already impatient to suck clean this man’s brains and swallow his soul . Not just that, but this mortal body filled with strength would soon become his body .
It opened its great mouth and the scarlet tongue came shooting out like a bolt of lightning .
Shua –
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed open, icy cold .
In the next moment, the Skythunder Bamboo arrived . An eye-searing purple lightning erupted like a purple sun rising above the sea, incinerating everything to ashes .
The sea corpse monsters screamed miserably . All of the specters hidden within them were directly combusted into nothingness .
The high level specter wanted to run away, but after taking just a few steps, its body became increasingly small .
After several breaths of time, the lightning retracted . Qin Yu reached out a hand and a translucent bead fell into his palm .
<hr>
There seemed to be fog tumbling inside . Probing it, he found that a mind-boggling amount of pure soul strength was contained within .
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows . He never thought that he could produce something like this after purifying a high level specter with thunder .
This round bead could be directly refined and absorbed to enhance one’s soul force . It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a rare treasure .
Should he take advantage of his time here to gather a few more of these and then refine them once he left? If he did, the potency of his soul force was sure to rise rapidly . But, even though he had all these grand ideas, reality proved much harsher than it seemed . Qin Yu had understated the danger sensing abilities of the high level specters in the Netherworld Realm . After killing a high level specter he was contaminated with its aura, and before Qin Yu could even approach, the other high level specters had already fled far away .
After a moment of thought, Qin Yu realized what was happening . Disappointment flashed across his face . However, if things were like this, the incomparably dangerous Netherworld Realm had become a much safer and flatter road for him . This could also be called an unexpected harvest .
Tamping down these thoughts, Qin Yu focused his attention on searching for traces of the demonic path cultivators . The truth was that after coming this far, Qin Yu began to understand what this land was . The Netherworld Realm formed its own separate s.p.a.ce, so the amount of s.p.a.ce inside was far greater than it seemed from the outside . In addition to the yin yang five elements being in chaos, it was possible to make a circle if one walked around for too long .
One day .
Two days .
Qin Yu revealed a happy expression . He lifted his hand to reveal a s.h.i.+ning talisman . When Han Shanye escaped, in his panic he hadn’t noticed that Qin Yu had placed a talisman mark on his body . Unfortunately, with Qin Yu’s lack of skill in controlling talismans in addition to the great distance between them, it was hard to accurately determine Han Shanye’s location . But at this time, the talisman in his hand was s.h.i.+ning, indicating that connected party was nearby .
Qin Yu carefully probed his surroundings . Moving around according to how bright and dark the talisman became, he soon found the right direction .
The dao of talismans was truly useful!
Shua –
Qin Yu quickly rushed forwards .
… .
Deep in the Netherworld Realm, there was actually a small island . It was dark red in color, as if it had formed from countless drops of blood .
Slaughter energy lingered about it, shocking the heart and soul!
This was an infamous island . It was called Blood Red Island, and was known for roaming the Netherworld Realm .
Currently, black demonic energy roiled endlessly on this land . Array formation marks on the ground surged with dark red lights . Specters flew about the island before rus.h.i.+ng inwards like moths drawn to the flame . At the core of this array formation, there was a giant furnace . Blood red veins covered its surface like the meridians of a human . They greedily crept about, inhaling in all the specters that rushed over . In the final moments, the specters would awaken from their trance . Then, sensing the terrifying aura of the furnace they would all scream out in horror, but in the end nothing they did could change their final destiny .
All around the island, a light layer of black ice had formed atop the seawater . As long as a person stepped onto it, they would be exposed to a vicious poisonous attack . This was the furnace’s strength radiating outwards . As it started to awaken, this was its instinctual sense of self-protection .
Sea monsters had been caught . They reeked of sorrow and dread as they were imprisoned . Their complexions were deathly pale and fear surged in their eyes .
As if they had endured a great fright!
Just outside the furnace’s array formation, two groups of cultivators stood across from each other . When their eyes met, there was a cold and visible rage . But looking at their auras, they were undoubtedly both demonic path cultivators .
Han Shanye was standing at one side . At this moment he was whispering to a young and arrogant cultivator in front of him . Although the cultivator was young, his aura was actually considerably overbearing . The young cultivator didn’t speak . Only by furrowing his eyebrows from time to time, a cold chill rose in the air, like invisible sabers cutting across one’s skin .
The demonic cultivators across from him were clearly inferior . Whether it was numbers, morale, or average levels of strength, they were suppressed in all aspects . The strongest amongst them was a seventh level Golden Core cultivator, but that cultivator’s face was pale at this moment, and it was obvious he had suffered a severe injury .
Beside him, a tall and strong figure sat cross-legged . His wide and muscled back was revealed but his face was hidden in shadows . Even so, from his clothing and his steady and powerful heartbeat, one could determine that he was a considerably young person . The other demonic cultivators stood in tight guard around these two people, and from time to time they would look up nervously .
It looked like these two groups of demonic cultivators didn’t get along very well .
