Chapter 546 – The Sea of Blood Has No Bounds (1/2)

The Dark Queen took out a soybean-sized pill from her sumeru ring and placed it into her mouth, closing her eyes to rest.

Under the many layers of white and corpses, almost-transparent white flames flickered quietly in Xiao An’s eye sockets, clearly reflecting the Dark Queen’s appearance.

The long-forgotten past that she refused to remember forcefully burst out, making it unavoidable.

Her sea of consciousness raged like the ocean. Countless memories were forcefully linked and glued together messily.

She saw the towering, magnificent estate, she saw the great state that gazed at the sea, she saw the deep rift valley, and she saw the Dark Queen!

All of these images reflected a child in the end. These were her memories.

The child was wrapped in a verdant-green waistband, dressed in black, luxurious clothes that were riddled with images of dragons and snakes. She was pretty and had a chilly expression, both unfamiliar and familiar.

Who was she?

Who am I?

“Zi’er” watched as her subordinate Corpse Commanders vanished into the long, blood-red banner, and her expression finally changed. Arcane artifacts and treasures that could generate a space of their own were all extremely powerful. They were not what regular people could possess.

The “power of the domain” it gave off was not as powerful as the space that the Hungry Ghost realm had devoured, but it would be very difficult to break free from without any countermeasures.

“Get out here!”

“Zi’er” brought her hands together in a seal, and with a yell, corpse qi surged out and condensed into a vicious head. It shot off into the air with a long trail of black corpse qi.

It burrowed violently into the land where the long, blood-red banner had erupted from.

With a boom, the ground suddenly bulged as waves of soil were thrown into the surroundings. The bulge erupted soon afterwards, and the terrifying power it unleashed enveloped the Dark Queen.

Countless remains were blasted into the air, falling down like a storm.

Even the Dark Queen had vanished.

“Has she been finished off? The arcane artifact should have been disabled!”

“Zi’er” frowned. She was actually unable to detect their aura.

The group of Corpse Commanders vanished suddenly along with the long, blood-red banner. They were nowhere to be seen.

“Her majesty the Dark Queen’s aura has vanished.”

In the huge, black coffin, Gu Yanying’s expression changed; she let out a glum sigh. She seemed like she had run out of choices.

Li Qingshan asked in surprise, “Really? You can sense it?”

Sure enough, she was hiding many different abilities; this made perfect sense. As the only beloved daughter of the Guardian Hawk God, her status was probably greater than most princes and princesses of the Great Xia empire. If it were not for the Hungry Ghost realm restricting and limiting almost everything, she probably could clear out the entire place with her talismans single-handedly.

“But I’m not certain whether she’s dead or alive.” Gu Yanying nodded. A bronze coin appeared in her hand, and she flicked it a few times, but she was unable to reach a conclusion with her divination.

Li Qingshan asked, “Are you going to be leaving?”

“I’m considering it. Why don’t the two of you discuss among yourselves and decide who will blow up their golden core or daemon core to destroy this black coffin and send me off?”

The Marquis of Ruyi’s expression became uglier, while Li Qingshan laughed loudly. “Don’t even think about it!”

“Then forget it. Men sure are unreliable. I can only rely on myself!” Gu Yanying smiled before suddenly becoming stern. “She’s here!”

“Zi’er” turned around and brought her hand over the black coffin. “Let’s deal with these three first!”

She twisted her hand violently, and the black coffin began to shrink abruptly. In the end, it had been reduced to the size of a room. She closed her fingers and said, “Live Burial!”

Within the remains that “Zi’er’s” corpse qi face had blasted into the air, an inconspicuous little skeleton curled up within the huge bones that a corpse beast left behind.

She had stowed the Blood Sea Banner away in her mouth, and the Samādhi Flames of White Bone became extremely dim too. All that was left were two hollow sockets. Her white bones no longer gave off the same shiny lustre anymore either.

She seemed no different from a regular skeleton now.

Who could find a droplet of water in an ocean?

Like what Li Qingshan had said, she only had to lie down casually within a pile of remains, and she would be ridiculously safe.
