Chapter 657: Corpses Keep Appearing

After traveling in the space disruption zone for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Shanling came to a stop and said, “We’re here.”

However, gazing into the distance, his face sudden grew grim. “Something is wrong...”

Nie Tian looked over with rapt attention and discovered that there were a few human corpses floating in the direction Zhao Shanling was looking.

In the middle of the floating corpses was a huge cluster of black light, as if it was a black sun, although it emanated an icy aura instead of heat.

The cluster of black light was also on the move, floating slowly in the void.

Meanwhile, it swelled and shrank from time to time, as if it was ever-changing.

As they approached the cluster of black light, Nie Tian examined the few floating corpses with his awareness, and discovered that they still had faint amounts of flesh power.

Unlike outsiders, humans usually had very limited flesh power, which would vanish completely shortly after their deaths.

In this place, even powerful outsiders would lose all of their flesh power soon after their death.

The fact that there was still faint traces of flesh power within those corpses could only mean that they had died very recently.

“These people died very recently,” Zhao Shanling said with a grim expression. Then, he laid his eyes on the cluster of black light and added, “I’m afraid others have discovered this place. Some must have entered already. These people must have engaged in battle and got killed when they were about to enter.

“Of the six of them, three were at the Profound realm, two were at the Worldly realm, and one was at the Greater Heaven stage.

“But that Greater Heaven stage junior’s corpse now contains the richest flesh power, which means he must have focused on the refinement of his fleshly body, unlike most Qi warriors.

“I wonder where these people came from, and how they managed to find this place.”

Nie Tian heard his muttering and quickly painted a picture in his mind about what had happened in this place.

Judging from their garments, these six Qi warriors seemed to belong to the same side. They must have had conflicts with another group, and been annihilated before entering the cluster of black light.

At this moment, the winners were probably exploring the realm that cluster of black light led to.

“Where does this cluster of black light lead to, Senior Zhao?” Nie Tian asked.

“It leads to the place where a powerful spatial power patriarch was buried. That expert’s cultivation base and strength was much more profound than mine. I need to secure something that’ll help me with my breakthrough into the Void domain.

“He was only able to create an isolated realm in a space disruption zone because of his unmatched attainments in space manipulation magics, so that heaven and earth is very mysterious.

“Once we enter it, the speed at which we lose our spiritual power will multiply ten times!

“Back when I was here the first time, I only spent a few minutes in there, but I lost all of my spiritual power and had to get out of there.

“Even if you do nothing but recover spiritual power with spirit stones in there, you’ll still end up losing your spiritual power at an alarming rate. The higher your cultivation base, the faster you’ll lose your spiritual power.”

As he explained this, Zhao Shanling glanced over at the few floating corpses, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes.

Perhaps he would have taken Nie Tian and entered without any hesitation if no one else had beaten them to this place.

However, now that he knew others were already in there, their situation unknown, he started to have some doubts.

After a brief pause, he jerked his head towards Nie Tian and continued, “As long as those who went in there are Qi warriors, regardless of their cultivation bases, they’ll lose all of their spiritual power and become no different from commoners. Only those who possess extremely tough fleshly bodies will be at an advantage in there.”

Nie Tian’s eyes lit up as he asked, “If that’s the case, what are we still waiting for?!”

Zhao Shanling frowned and asked, “Haven’t you noticed that dead junior? Judging from the rich flesh aura on him, he must have practiced special incantations that emphasized body refinement. The other five must have expected to rely on him after entering that realm. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought him in the first place.”

With a composed expression, Nie Tian said, “Well, not many in this world can contend with my Bone Blood Demon. I believe that even if we’re to encounter powerful enemies in there, the Bone Blood Demon will be able to keep us safe.”

Zhao Shanling pondered briefly, then nodded. “I guess you’re right. After all, that puppet of yours possesses the battle prowess of a late Soul realm cultivator now.”

With these words, he reached out and grabbed Nie Tian’s arm. “Let’s go.”

As the cluster of black light expanded again, they flew into it.

In a flash, they appeared in a whole other heaven and earth.

Unlike in the void, they were now standing on solid ground.
