Corpse aura that blotted out the sky spread from the abyss. Within that pitch black corpse aura, terrifying roars shook heaven and earth.
"Be careful. The things below are extremely vicious!" Lu Bai's calm voice rang beside Chu Xiong and She Ming.
Actually, even without Lu Bai's reminder, the two were already mentally prepared.
After all, this place itself was filled with countless dangers. As battle hardened Demon Slayers, none of those who had survived until now were simple characters.
Following angry roars from the two, two gigantic figures had already risen between heaven and earth.
Facing the strange Feind Race, they immediately used their full strength from the very beginning without the slightest hesitation.
At the same time, dozens of skeletal corpse monsters shot out from the abyss. Every single skeletal corpse monster emitted extremely powerful fluctuations.
Lu Bai frowned. These corpse monsters appeared to have been pieced together from the bones of different races. Some belonged to races of the Great Thousand World, while others were corpses of demon races. Each looked grotesque and bizarre, yet even more ferocious because of it.
Clearly, these corpse monsters had been crudely manufactured. The only reason they possessed such strength was because they themselves had been overwhelmingly powerful before death.
"Desecrating the corpses of the dead. Truly a disgusting race..."
No wonder that in all kinds of martial arts and cultivation novel worlds, sects that manipulated corpses, refined corpses, or controlled corpses always appeared as villains and usually ended up miserably
Merely the act of desecrating corpses alone was unacceptable to both righteous and demonic factions alike!
After all, whether righteous or evil, nobody wished for the corpse of their ancestors or even their own corpse after death to be toyed with by others.
Lu Bai looked at Chu Xiong and She Ming below, who were battling the corpse monsters with their Sovereign Celestial Bodies. He did not immediately make a move.
Although these corpse monsters were powerful, they were not enough to make the two panic. Lu Bai's main objective now was to locate the Corpse Demon Clan member hiding in the shadows. As long as that fellow was dealt with, the remaining corpse monsters would be nothing to fear.
"The Corpse Demon Clan prince in the original story was after a Demon Emperor corpse. Although I do not know whether the one I encountered this time is the same person, since the other party came here, they definitely are not merely after these ordinary skeletons!"
Thinking of this, Lu Bai's gaze turned toward the pitch black abyss below.
Because of the obstruction from the dense corpse aura, even he was unable to investigate what exactly was happening beneath.
Frowning slightly, Lu Bai raised his hand. Countless five colored spiritual energies gathered in midair before transforming into a five colored divine dragon. The dragon's head faced the pitch black abyss below as it opened its gigantic mouth.
Terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations emerged from the dragon's mouth like a black hole. Hundreds of millions of bolts of lightning shot forth explosively, directly piercing through space as they blasted toward the abyss below.
The rolling corpse aura filling the abyss could only avoid the edge of the five colored divine lightning. The black curtain was directly torn apart, finally revealing the scene beneath.
Below the abyss, within layers of light barriers, a pitch black skeleton was firmly sealed inside. Although all life had vanished from the skeleton, powerful demonic energy fluctuations still remained.
Judging from those demonic energy fluctuations, it must definitely have been an extremely powerful Demon Emperor while alive.
"As expected!"
Lu Bai's eyes narrowed.
Just as he had guessed, the appearance of this Corpse Demon Clan expert was for the sake of this Demon Emperor corpse!
"This Demon Emperor is actually sealed by ten great Arrays. In life, it was probably far more than an ordinary Nether Demon Emperor..."
However, this was actually a good thing for Lu Bai because he could sense that the ten great Arrays below were all extraordinary. If he could thoroughly comprehend them, perhaps he might obtain another method comparable to a Grandmaster Spiritual Array!
Lu Bai's move had clearly exceeded the expectations of the hidden Corpse Demon Clan expert.
Seeing that his objective had been discovered, the other party finally could no longer hold back and revealed themselves.
What Lu Bai had not expected was that the other party had already broken through the obstruction of several great Arrays. The Demon Emperor corpse was already within arm's reach!
"What a vile creature!"
Lu Bai's expression changed as he raised his hand and struck downward with a palm.
Violent Five Elements spiritual energy transformed into a torrent that directly pierced through space and blasted toward the black shadow carrying a deathly aura.
Facing the incoming spiritual energy torrent, the black shadow did not choose to confront it head on. Instead, it flashed backward rapidly, clearly unwilling to engage in direct confrontation.
However, Lu Bai had no intention of letting the fellow go. With a thought, streams of spiritual energy torrents crazily surged forth. He could already tell that this person's objective was obtaining the Demon Emperor corpse. As long as he obstructed them and prevented them from retrieving the corpse, he could buy himself time to break the Arrays.
After dodging several times, the black shadow seemed to have finally been provoked by Lu Bai's relentless offensive. Immediately, a sinister smile appeared as the figure abruptly halted. The black aura on the face dissipated, revealing a pale and gloomy face devoid of any blood.
"A woman?"
Looking at the other party's appearance and figure, Lu Bai could not help frowning.
The Feind Race experts he had encountered all seemed somewhat abnormal. Among the numerous Feind Race experts in the original story, almost none were female. Yet he himself had encountered several women already.
What was this supposed to mean? Could it be that they wanted him to have some tragic romance with the Feind Race?
If he ended up gaining the title of a specialist in killing female demon leaders in the future, that would not sound very pleasant either.
"Originally, seeing that your strength was not bad, I did not wish to waste time entangling myself with you. Since you refuse to appreciate kindness, then I shall fulfill your wish!"
"Remember this. The one killing you today is the Corpse Demon Clan imperial princess, Shi Tianxiang!"
As the cold voice spread through the world, endless death aura suddenly erupted from the eyes of the Corpse Demon Clan woman.
In an instant, the vegetation around the battlefield rapidly withered beneath the erosion of that death aura as all vitality was forcefully stripped away.
Even the spiritual energy throughout the region gradually turned gray white as the aura of death spread through heaven and earth.
A strange expression flashed through Lu Bai's eyes as he could not help asking, "Do you happen to have a brother called Shi Tianyou?"
The Shi Tianyou encountered by Mu Chen and the others in the original story seemed to be a prince of the Corpse Demon Clan. Now that an imperial princess had appeared before him, did that mean the Corpse Demon Clan had sent more than one royal member this time?
Tsk tsk, this really had the feeling of some fantasy world imperial trial.
"You have met Shi Tianyou?!"
Hearing that name from someone of the Great Thousand World, Shi Tianxiang was clearly extremely shocked.
"Could it be that he is also within this ancient battlefield?!"
Seeing this, Lu Bai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Do not be nervous, do not be nervous. I was just asking."
"Bastard! Which eye of yours saw this imperial princess being afraid?!" Shi Tianxiang's pale and sinister face twisted, instantly making her appear even more hideous and terrifying.
Seeing this, Lu Bai could not help curling his lips. Could it be that all women of the Fiend Race were like this? Even a transmigrator would have no appetite after seeing such a thing.
Of course, it could only be said that the two sides fundamentally did not belong to the same species. Even their appearances were different, so their standards of beauty were naturally different as well.
Although all these members of the Fiend Race currently maintained humanoid forms, their true appearances were completely unlike those of the human race. The reason they possessed their current forms was probably because they had been influenced by the Great Thousand World over these tens of thousands of years.
The furious Shi Tianxiang naturally did not care about Lu Bai's thoughts. She stretched out her pale palm, and evil demonic patterns seemed to emerge within it. In the next instant, rolling corpse aura whistled forth like wolf smoke.
"Corpse Demon Aura!"
Looking at the corpse aura surging forth, Lu Bai's expression also turned solemn.
The earlier scene had already demonstrated the power of this corpse aura, so even he did not dare show the slightest carelessness.
He also struck out with a palm as torrents of Five Elements spiritual energy once again whistled outward and collided against the corpse aura wolf smoke. Instantly, piercing sounds erupted as the corpse aura corroded Lu Bai's streams of spiritual energy one after another.
Bang! Bang!
Thunderous booms continuously rang through the sky as the clash between the corpse aura and Five Elements spiritual energy actually ended in a deadlock.
Meanwhile, while Shi Tianxiang and Lu Bai were engaged in fierce battle, Chu Xiong and She Ming, who had originally been suppressed by the corpse monsters, finally managed to catch their breath. After killing several corpse monsters, they gradually began gaining the upper hand.
"I cannot continue dragging this out with him..."
Although prideful at heart, this imperial princess was clearly not foolish. After witnessing Lu Bai's methods, she quickly arrived at a judgment.
The Demon Emperor corpse before her carried immense significance to her and was her only support in contending against Shi Tianyou. Therefore, no matter what, she absolutely had to obtain it.
Thinking of this, a resolute expression flashed across Shi Tianxiang's face. Immediately afterward, she opened her mouth and a gray white stream of light suddenly shot out.
"Life Devouring Skull!"
The stream of light rapidly expanded with the wind. Within several breaths, it transformed into a gigantic gray skull. The skull's jaws opened and closed as though capable of devouring all vitality within heaven and earth.
Huu!
The gray skull opened its giant mouth and fiercely inhaled, forcibly swallowing Lu Bai whole.
After seeing this, Shi Tianxiang did not continue attacking Lu Bai. Instead, she directly made a desperate gamble by taking out a drop of her heart blood and letting it drip toward the forehead of the Demon Emperor corpse.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
The pitch black blood landed upon the final layer of the light barrier surrounding the Demon Emperor corpse, immediately producing sizzling sounds.
Meanwhile, the originally lifeless Demon Emperor corpse seemed to sense something. It actually raised its pitch black bone claw on its own and directly thrust it into the light barrier.
Chi chi chi!
It was like plunging a hand into boiling oil. Violent sounds instantly erupted from the pitch black bone claw of the Demon Emperor corpse, while the remaining demonic aura upon the claw was rapidly consumed during the process.
At the same time, however, the light barrier was gradually pierced open by the continuously advancing bone claw. The middle finger, which possessed the longest finger bone, had already pierced through the barrier and touched Shi Tianxiang's drop of heart blood.
Shoo!
The instant the two made contact, the drop of black blood instantly fused into the finger bone before traveling directly through the arm of the skeleton into the chest of the Demon Emperor corpse.
ROAR!!!
A soundless demonic roar transformed into soundwaves that spread in all directions as cracks were torn open throughout the entire space beneath the force of the soundwave.
Shi Tianxiang was overjoyed upon seeing this. Immediately afterward, her hands rapidly formed a strange hand seal as she controlled the Demon Emperor corpse to charge out from the final Array seal.
Meanwhile, high above in the sky.
The gigantic gray skull suddenly exploded apart as Lu Bai once again revealed himself, golden spiritual light spreading around his body.
After breaking free from the Life Devouring Skull, Lu Bai lowered his gaze and happened to see Shi Tianxiang already merged together with the Demon Emperor corpse. At this moment, the latter raised its head as its evil eyes filled with corpse aura stared directly at Lu Bai.
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Shi Tianxiang's mouth, while twisted light flickered within her pitch black eyes.
"The next time we meet, this imperial princess will definitely kill you!"
Leaving behind those harsh words, she laughed loudly as her figure rapidly transformed into strange black smoke. Wrapping around the Demon Emperor corpse, she directly drilled into the spatial crack corroded open by the corpse aura and disappeared.
Lu Bai indifferently watched everything unfold without making any move to stop her.
Only after seeing her disappear did the corners of his mouth slowly curl upward into a faint arc.
"You had better keep your word..."
Leaving behind a nearly inaudible sentence, Lu Bai turned his gaze toward the battlefield on the other side.
After losing Shi Tianxiang's supply of corpse aura, the remaining corpse monsters quickly became rootless duckweed and were smashed apart one after another by Chu Xiong and She Ming.
With the battle ended, the space gradually returned to peace. Only the ruined land still revealed the fierce battle that had erupted earlier.
However, the expressions of Chu Xiong and She Ming were currently both rather ugly, their eyes filled with deep concern.
"To think it was actually a royal member of the Corpse Demon Clan. It seems those fellows are plotting something major this time!" She Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly.
Chu Xiong swung his giant axe and also said, "The Corpse Demon Clan truly is troublesome. Furthermore, this time they even obtained a Demon Emperor corpse. If we encounter them again, they will probably become even harder to deal with!"
The two naturally did not know that Lu Bai had held back during the earlier battle. They merely believed that the other party had escaped through cunning methods.
After all, they knew very well how powerful Lu Bai was. For someone capable of escaping from his hands, even if there were external factors involved, it still proved just how strong this imperial princess of the Corpse Demon Clan was.
Naturally, Lu Bai would not explain so much to them. Now that the surroundings had quieted down, he planned to properly study the Arrays below that had sealed the Demon Emperor corpse.
"Next, the two of you can explore the surrounding area. I need to remain here for some time."
Chu Xiong and She Ming naturally nodded in agreement.
After the earlier battle, it was unlikely that any blind fools nearby would dare come over now.
Watching Lu Bai directly leap into the abyss and sit cross legged before the outermost golden Array, Chu Xiong and She Ming exchanged glances before each heading off in separate directions to begin exploring.
Time slowly passed. A full two hours later, Lu Bai finally completely comprehended the outermost golden Array. However, after obtaining the information regarding this Array, his expression immediately became somewhat strange.
"This Array is actually the Golden Light Array..."
