Chapter 586: Chapter 0581: The Battle Against Half-step Sky Sea

The others present couldn’t help but admire Chen Yu even more, being able to steal the “Molten Gold Flame” under the noses of so many powerful individuals without anyone being the wiser, something that ordinary people could never accomplish.

What left them speechless was that Chen Yu had actually given the Innate Spiritual Flame to his Spirit Pet.

But then again, Chen Yu already had the higher-grade “Blood Crystal Flame” in his possession, and keeping the “Molten Gold Flame” seemed to be an example of biting off more than he could chew, as it felt superfluous. After all, controlling spiritual flames was extremely taxing on the mind, and cultivating two kinds at the same time was a waste of resources.

The Dark Copper Evil Corpse, staring at its enemies, was seething with dark and resentful energy.

The strongest restraint on an evil corpse came from Thunder Dao and Yang Dao, followed by Fire Dao.

The “Blood Crystal Flame” was tolerable, as that flame preferred to devour and burn the vitality found in blood, which the evil corpse’s body lacked almost entirely, along with vitality itself.

The “Molten Gold Flame” was different. Though its grade was not as high as the “Blood Crystal Flame,” the burning power of the “Molten Gold Flame” was formidable, known for its extremely high temperature and characterized by a strong yang energy, which countered evil corpses even more effectively than the “Blood Crystal Flame.”

Moreover, the aura emitted by the Red Flame King was extremely unpleasant to it.

The Dark Copper Evil Corpse decided to kill this Fire Path Ancient Beast first.

Boom!

Launching into a blitz, it charged at the Red Flame King with formidable force.

The handsome young man had been dealt with by the Dark Copper Evil Corpse using this same method.

“Stop him!”

Yun Fei’er immediately shouted.

A Fire Path Ancient Beast with the “Molten Gold Flame” would be highly useful in this situation.

Shoo shoo!

She swung her sword twice, creating a vast expanse of red, gigantic sword glows slicing towards the path of the Dark Copper Evil Corpse.

If the Dark Copper Evil Corpse continued its charge, it would surely be cut.

Yet, even knowing this, the Dark Copper Evil Corpse didn’t flinch and took on Yun Fei’er’s two strikes, resolute in killing the Red Flame King.

With a mighty physique and strong defensive power, along with the absence of pain, it barely slowed down as it continued to rush forward.

Chu Yu hurled two hammer shadows, but they were too weak and smashed into pieces by the Dark Copper Evil Corpse.

Then it was Chen Yu’s turn. He activated the first demon rune and used the Demon Rune Battle Technique “Demonic Destruction Claw.”

Boom!

A dark demon claw tore through the air, and suddenly blood flames ignited along its grooves, burning in a strangely unsettling pattern.

Compared to the “Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist,” the “Demonic Destruction Claw” was a more focused and powerful attack within a smaller area, dealing more concentrated damage.

Boom bang!

An explosion sounded, and the black wind laced with blood flames raged.

This time the Dark Copper Evil Corpse paused momentarily, as Chen Yu’s demon claw tore five small gashes in its shoulder.

The numerous blood flames burned on it slowly, eroding fiercely.

“You think you can kill the king? You’re quite overconfident.”

The Red Flame King laughed loudly.

Hearing this, both Yun Fei’er and Chu Yu were left speechless.

This Dark Copper Evil Corpse was at the Half-step Sky Sea level, after all. If it weren’t confident in killing an Ancient Beast at the Peak of the Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm, that would simply be too cowardly.

But in the next instant, both of their expressions turned to surprise.

They saw the Red Flame King open its mouth and spew out a lump of fierce red fire, which transformed into a vision of a Qilin charging wildly.

The Qilin suddenly opened its huge mouth, and within it, a golden orb could be seen–this was the condensed “Molten Gold Flame.”

The Red Flame King’s Fire Dao attacks and fire control techniques shocked them, making them instantly realize that this Fire Path Ancient Beast was no ordinary creature.

Boom bang!

When the Flame Qilin made contact with the Dark Copper Evil Corpse, an explosion erupted, scattering flames in all directions.

Though the Flame Qilin was shattered by the impact, the dazzling golden flame within it remained and shot towards the chest of the Dark Copper Evil Corpse.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed as the Dark Copper Evil Corpse staggered three steps backwards, leaving a shallow scorch pit on its chest.

“Such sophisticated control over fire!”

Chu Yu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Previously, none of their attacks had done much damage to the Dark Copper Evil Corpse, but the Red Flame King had managed.

“Kill!”

Yun Fei’er ordered, thrusting out her sword immediately!

Her sword was incredibly precise, targeting the scorch pit on the chest of the Dark Copper Evil Corpse.

With strong physical defenses, attacking the injured areas of the Dark Copper Evil Corpse was undoubtedly more effective.

“Yangming Sword Point!”

Thinking this, Chen Yu concentrated the “Blood Crystal Flame” and performed the secret technique “Six Flames Sword Finger.”

Shoo!

A burst of blood-red sword light shot out with incredible speed, surpassing Yun Fei’er’s strike.

The Dark Copper Evil Corpse’s attention was first drawn by Yun Fei’er, allowing Chen Yu’s sword finger to successfully penetrate its chest wound.

The penetrative power of Yangming Sword Point was immensely strong. In the past, when Chen Yu faced opponents, he would directly pierce through their bodies.

“What a formidable finger technique!”

Chu Yu was astonished as he looked towards Chen Yu; both the master and the pet used exceptional methods.

The Dark Copper Evil Corpse’s superficial defenses were breached, and now, even Chu Yu could harm it by targeting the wound on its chest.

“Damn it… you all must die!”

The Dark Copper Evil Corpse roared furiously as a surge of ominous and dark energy emanated from its body, assaulting all directions.

Everyone could feel that the Dark Copper Evil Corpse had fully lost its temper, signifying that it was about to become even more ferocious and violent.

“How dare you act so arrogantly before the king?”

The Red Flame King bellowed, its body surging with flaming intensity, unleashing the powerful Bloodline Power from within its body, reaching nearly the limit of an Ancient Beast Bloodline.

“Flame Dragon Locking Body Technique.”

The Red Flame King roared as boundless blazing fires were released from its body.

Boom boom boom!

The flames boiled upwards, furiously swirling, quickly coalescing into six fiery dragons.

Each of the fiery dragons had a golden head, which clearly contained the “Molten Gold Flame.”

The six dragons suddenly leapt at the Dark Copper Evil Corpse, viciously clawing and biting.

Sensing the extraordinariness of this technique, the Dark Copper Evil Corpse threw two punches, shattering two of the fire dragons.

Boom!

The remaining four fire dragons lunged, causing the Dark Copper Corpse to scream, its body bound and golden flames burning all over it.

“Red Cloud Light Sword!”

Yun Fei’er thought that the Red Flame King must have expended a great cost to use such a powerful secret technique, so she immediately unleashed her ultimate sword move as well.

Swoosh!

A startling sword aura burst forth, dazzling and resplendent, fiery red in its entirety, slashing towards the Dark Copper Corpse.

Boom!

The sword light fell, the ground shook violently, and the frenzied howls of the Dark Copper Corpse sounded.

“Go!”

Chen Yu summoned a trace of the power from his Red Jiao bloodline, concentrating it in his arm, and swung it vigorously.

The Blood Crystal Flame transformed into a crystalline Jiao dragon, surging forth, striking towards the chest of the Dark Copper Corpse.

Boom!

Several fire powers gathered around the Dark Copper Corpse and suddenly exploded at one moment.

The Dark Copper Corpse was seen retreating dozens of steps, its body crashing into a purple wooden cabinet.

At this moment, its body was charred all over, unrecognizable, and there was a large black hole in its chest.

Under the continuous assault of the flames, the corpse’s energy diminished, and its might was far from what it had been before.

“Everyone, the passage is through.”

Just then, Jiang Chen’s voice came through.

But Chen Yu, Yun Fei’er, Chu Yu, and the others did not turn around.

Before, Yun Fei’er and others like Chu Yu felt that they couldn’t defeat the Dark Copper Corpse, so they were thinking of escaping.

But now, with the Dark Copper Corpse severely injured and its strength weakened, they had a fair chance of victory.

Once they killed the Dark Copper Corpse, they could scavenge some benefits in this great hall, such as the several boxes on the purple wooden cabinet, guarded by an array, surely containing treasures.

Although there was another Evil Corpse missing an arm nearby, it was cultivating and they did not know when it would finish.

For a time, no one wanted to leave.

Jiang Chen knew the others’ thoughts and didn’t say more.

Staying here was a bit risky, but if there were great gains, it would all be worth it.

“Kill!”

Yun Fei’er called out again.

Evil Corpses have strong regenerative abilities; they can’t give it a chance to catch its breath.

Strike while it’s severely wounded to take its life!

Three humans and a beast attacked again, with even Jiang Chen joining in.

The Dark Copper Corpse retained a sliver of lucidity and knew the situation was dire. It switched from attack to defense, desperately resisting.

Right at that moment, the main door of the great hall suddenly opened, and three people walked in.

Chen Yu remembered them; they were a team from the Sky Wolf Realm, with two at the Peak of Late Guiyuan Realm and one at the Late Guiyuan Realm stage.

The moment the others appeared, Chen Yu, Yun Fei’er, and the rest became vigilant, not attacking the Evil Corpse with full force anymore.

So to outsiders, it seemed they were evenly matched with the Evil Corpse, the outcome uncertain.

“Is there actually someone here?”

The leading middle-aged man glanced at Chen Yu and the others.

“Senior Brother Liao, there are treasures here!”

Another short man with tiny mung bean eyes fixated on the purple wooden cabinet next to them, his eyes gleaming greedily.

“Hehe, please hold off this Evil Corpse for us. Once we break through the array and reap the treasures, we’ll join you in dealing with the Evil Corpse and share the spoils,” said the middle-aged man with a faint smile, heading straight for the purple wooden cabinet.

The words were pleasant to hear, but even a fool knew they were false.

“Damn, we hold off the Evil Corpse while they seize the opportunity to grab the treasure,” complained Chu Yu, indignant.

With the enemy three strong, unless they all fought together, they were no match for these three.

The Dark Copper Corpse had grave injuries, and its corpse energy and resentment had greatly decreased, sharpening its consciousness even more.

It didn’t try to stop these people from taking the treasures; it wanted to force Yun Fei’er, Chen Yu, and the others to make a choice.

If Chen Yu and the others continued to deal with the Evil Corpse, then the treasures would be taken by others. If they went to fight the three from the Sky Wolf Realm, then the Dark Copper Corpse could temporarily escape its predicament, waiting for the two sides to start fighting.

Humming!

The middle-aged man, knowing the way of arrays, constantly manipulated the spells, causing the array to operate and slowly weaken.

“Break!”

The middle-aged man struck out, destroying the array.

He then immediately opened one of the wooden boxes; inside was a round and dark pill.

“Strong Soul Pill!”

The middle-aged man’s mouth curved up, and the others were also thrilled.

The Strong Soul Pill could instantly strengthen the spirit, which for practitioners skilled in the Soul Path was equivalent to a burst of greater power in a flash, and was very precious.

Moreover, after the effects of the Strong Soul Pill, the spirit would be larger than before, making the pill extremely valuable!

The middle-aged man closed the wooden box and placed it into his storage bag, preparing to break the second array barrier.

Chen Yu and the others engaged in battle with the Evil Corpse were also extremely excited, wishing they could annihilate these people.

Yun Fei’er had already begun to think about temporarily ignoring the Dark Copper Corpse and first dealing with these people from the Sky Wolf Realm.

“Wait, don’t rush to action!”

The Red Flame King suddenly whispered.

In the distance, an intense evil energy suddenly diffused from the One-Armed Evil Corpse’s body.

This sight caused the middle-aged man to pause slightly in his actions.

Boom!

The One-Armed Evil Corpse’s head suddenly erupted with a dark and twisted mist, surging up to the top of the great hall, its momentum terrifying, making the whole hall oppressively dim and gloomy.

The next moment, the One-Armed Evil Corpse opened its eyes, looking at the three from the Sky Wolf Realm who were breaking the array, its eyes brimming with killing intent.

“This Evil Corpse was previously cultivating some kind of sinister skill; it seems to have succeeded now, hehe!”

The Red Flame King chuckled, watching the Sky Wolf Realm trio with schadenfreude.
