Chapter 500: Refining The Spirit Core (1/2)

A dangerous sensation pricked his back. It came from the bottom of the Dragon Vein so Feiyun used his divine intents and felt that a terrible power was coming for him.

A creature with scales all over its tail, spanning for over a hundred meter, surged from the vein.

“Whoosh!” Feiyun was as fast as lightning but he barely dodged the attack. His robe got stained by a mucus-like liquid and corroded into ashes.

“What is that? A beast or a spirit beast?” Feiyun recalled the vessel and leaned against the wall like a bat while looking at the surging river.

“Rawr!” The roar of the beast made the wall vibrate continuously.

The vein was connected to all of Central Royal. Because of the dense energy here, there were many powerful beasts and even spirit beasts living inside.

The aura just now came from a spirit beast, much stronger than the one from Beauty’s Smile.

“My millennium core must have led this lord of the vein to this place.” Feiyun speculated.

He had two ways to survive at this moment. One, to yield the core to this monster and use that opportunity to escape. Second, relying on the Evil Woman.

Both methods were relatively dangerous. Of course, the first would mean losing the core and making it much harder to reach third-level Heaven’s Mandate.

The second was even more dangerous. After all, awakening the woman would incite her wrath and at that point, having ten lives still wouldn’t be enough.

“Rawr!” The gigantic tail came again. Feiyun finally got a good look of it - it was a serpent with scales as large as a palm.

He used his movement technique and turned into a ray while protecting himself with the King’s Order to head for the death energy up front where the Evil Woman was.

He wanted to use her aura to scare this monster.

“Boom!” The King’s Order successfully repelled the monster’s attack.

Nevertheless, he was still blown flying into the thick death energy. He quickly used his ring to stop its effect.

The other cultivators from Beauty’s Smile were invaded by the energy coming from the Evil Woman and died. He didn’t wish to follow their footstep.

Though his Immortal Phoenix Physique was amazing at stopping this death energy, he still needed to be careful against the Evil Woman.

She was meditating and absorbing energy in the Dragon Vein as her hair fluttered.

There were six corpses in golden robe sitting behind her. They were all at the second stage of corpse transformation. These were the royal guards, all killed by her and turned into her slaves.

“Her aura is quite strong, that powerful monster doesn’t dare to come.” Feiyun stealthily approached closer to her in order to avoid the monster.

He was still staying thirty miles away because it was too dangerous up ahead. Just her pulsing energy up there could crush him to death.

The power of an Enlightened Being was unreal. Just a single breath from them could turn him into blood.

A single flick could kill a Giant from ten thousand miles away.

The monster didn’t dare to come closer and only occasionally howled.

“She’s stealing from the vein, hmm, with the blood of the billions of lives in the southern region, she might be trying to reach the fifth transformation.”

Feiyun was knowledgeable and had seen a Corpse Monarch at the sixth transformation before. He knew that each stage required a massive amount of energy just like a cultivator getting ready to withstand the tribulations. Being careless would end with death.

The fifth transformation required a great amount of vitality. Half of the citizens in Grand Southern have been massacred. Their blood permeated into the ground and turned into a river. This was her preparation for the next transformation.
