Rip!
Scarlet arcs of lightning streaked across as they approached the bloody mountain peak. They resembled bloody light, yet they also resembled the eyes of the grim reaper. It made people shiver and their hearts tremble.
Not to mention Toad, Ying Xiaoxiao, and Ying Zhexian, even Chu Feng himself wasn't confident. He was a little hesitant along the way because this area was really too dangerous.
It could be said that they would be consigned to eternal damnation if they took a wrong step here. Their bodies and souls would certainly be destroyed if they were struck by that blood-colored lightning. They were innately restrained in various ways in this world where Yang qi flourished.
The wasteland was very peaceful. Only this area would occasionally emit lightning, and the silence would be broken when the red lightning struck down.
Chu Feng stopped and pondered for a long time. He didn't dare to rashly take a step forward.
He already saw that this was a Life Strangulation Domain. Using rocks, weapons, and so on to probe it was completely useless because no domain runes appeared.
This meant that even if he wanted to use some inanimate objects to probe the path, the effect wouldn't be great.
However, when he used his soul light to probe it, he would encounter the blood-colored lightning if he landed on the wrong spot and would be completely annihilated.
"This is forcing people to use their lives to fill up the path up this bloody mountain peak." Chu Feng sighed.
They didn't have physical bodies to protect themselves and were congenitally deficient. If they were struck by lightning in this area, it was guaranteed that they would die instantly.
Chu Feng found those three tattered corpses and placed them side by side on the ground. He had long since stripped away the spatial bracelets on their bodies. Now, he was prepared to invade one of the corpses with his own soul light.
"Are we reincarnating in someone else's body?" Ouyang Feng mumbled. He was also fiddling with a corpse and was prepared to invade it.
This was a bad plan that he had no choice but to do.
Even though Ying Zhexian was elegant and otherworldly and quick-witted like a fairy, she didn't despise it. She was also studying a corpse with the silver-haired little lolita.
"Chi!"
However, Toad let out a blood-curdling screech in a split second. He was the most restless as he recklessly invaded a corpse with his soul light. In the end, he was burned until green smoke came out. He fled in a hurry with his entire body covered in raging flames.
This gave Ying Xiaoxiao a fright. She decisively retreated and wouldn't touch the corpse in front of her even if she was beaten to death.
"They've already become corpses, yet they're still restraining us. Motherf * cker, this is too shameful." After Ouyang Feng extinguished the fire, his expression was unsightly.
Even though they had become corpses, the blood in the bodies of the three knights was still very terrifying. Their blood qi was extremely masculine, and it was like a fatal poison to soul bodies like them.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying this world full of Yang Qi was to them.
"Truth be told, it's mainly because these knights have cultivated a special secret art. Their blood and qi are like a furnace, which innately restrains Yin spirits." Chu Feng deduced that other creatures wouldn't be able to do so.
The reincarnation plan had failed. Chu Feng calmed his mind and began to deduce the domain laws of this place in earnest. The main reason was that the emissary had used a fair number of smokescreens and special methods to interfere with outsiders' spying. This caused Chu Feng to feel that it wasn't safe enough.
In the end, after Chu Feng studied it carefully, he believed that there were a total of five locations on the road to the mountain that he couldn't confirm was safe enough. He had to personally walk through those nodes to be able to judge.
"Chu Feng, Chu Feng, you can't be so deceitful. We only have one life, so we can't try our luck. In case we fail, we'll be annihilated in a puff of smoke." Ouyang Feng was the first to object.
Ying Zhexian said, "There's no lack of vicious birds and ferocious beasts in this wasteland. We can catch some."
"That makes sense!" Ouyang Feng nodded.
After a moment, they made their move together and caught six Cold Lizards. They wanted to subdue them and force these cold-blooded creatures to climb the mountain.
However, even though the Cold Lizards stared at the blood-colored sacred mountain's medicinal herbs with fiery gazes after they arrived in this area, all of them resisted fiercely when they approached and were forced to climb the mountain. In the end, they all went mad and didn't cooperate at all.
"This is the Martial God's medicinal mountain. No matter who dares to covet it, they'll suffer divine punishment and their souls will scatter," roared a Cold Lizard.
In the end, the six Cold Lizards risked their lives against Chu Feng and the others, but they were killed as expected.
"Perhaps we can use the Cold Lizards' bodies to reincarnate," suggested Ouyang Feng. He tested it out for a bit. The damage he suffered when his soul light invaded wasn't too great.
The main reason was that creatures like the Cold Lizard carried yin qi by itself, so it was bone-piercingly cold.
Chu Feng also tried it out for a bit. He reckoned that he could reside in the Cold Lizard's body for an hour. If it was too long, it would still cause damage to his soul.
"Even if we have a suitable corporeal body, it's still too dangerous for us to climb the mountain ourselves." Ying Zhexian brought up another idea and suggested to try it out.
"There are many Purple Gold Rats dwelling in the wasteland in the distance. We can try to lure them over. If a large-scale rat tide is ignited and they attack that path up the mountain …"
After Chu Feng heard this, he immediately nodded. If a large number of creatures attacked the path he deduced, he would naturally be able to accurately and effectively correct the best path.
So much so that after the rat tide broke out, some lucky rats might be able to climb the mountain directly. There were bound to be a few individuals who just happened to walk on the correct path.
Unfortunately, the wishes were beautiful, but the implementation wasn't as one wished.
Not only the Cold Lizard, but the Purple Gold Rats were also terrified and uneasy after arriving here. They were unwilling to go forward and had a kind of fear that came from their bones. They would rather go crazy and turn around to fight Chu Feng and the others with their lives than climb the mountain.
In the end, Chu Feng and the others caught a small leader of the Purple Gold Rats and used their soul light to forcefully control it. They issued orders through it and commanded over a hundred Purple Gold Rats to attack the bloody mountain peak.
In the end, ninety percent of the Purple Gold Rats rebelled and didn't listen to the orders. They turned around and fled.
The dozen or so Purple Gold Rats actually obeyed the orders and climbed the mountain, but they went crazy very quickly and charged around randomly. They didn't achieve the desired effect of scouting the path at all. They were directly struck by a streak of blood-colored lightning, and the dozen or so Purple Gold Rats were completely annihilated.
Ouyang Feng sighed and said, "I know the reason. This bloody mountain peak is stained with divine beast blood, especially since it was just watered today. The invisible divine beast aura intimidated all the vicious birds and ferocious beasts. They didn't dare to approach because they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when facing their supreme king."
He was a divine beast from the Yin Realm, so he understood this rather well.
Chu Feng didn't believe in heresy. He controlled the leader of the Purple Gold Rats once again in a thrilling and difficult manner. In the end, the effect was more or less the same as before; it was completely useless.
Moreover, he was determined to invade the second small leader of the Purple Gold Rats and almost suffered a backlash from its masculine blood qi.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, or Ouyang Feng, all of them were rather silent. Heaven warping figures like them were actually so unbearable here.
Even if this Purple Gold Rat was as large as a rhinoceros and was at the consummate cloudeater realm, it still shouldn't be able to endanger them like this.
They were originally gifted by the heavens, but after coming to this world, they still couldn't compare to a mutant rat!
"I want to return to the Yang Realm! I want to wash away all of my Yin qi and become a genuine pure-blooded divine beast from the Yang Realm!"
At this moment, even Ouyang Feng was shouting like this because he was incited to no end.
That was because he had already tried seizing control over the body of the Purple Gold Rat's leader just now. In the end, Ouyang Feng's own body was burned by the Purple Gold Rat's blood qi until he cried out continuously.
How could he endure this? It was a divine beast.
All kinds of methods were used, but in the end, they discovered that if they wanted to climb the mountain, they still had to move themselves in the end.
"Fairy Ying, I think we need you to take action. Don't you still have the Death Substitute Talisman on you?" Chu Feng said.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zhexian was rather straightforward. She didn't decline and was willing to cooperate, but she also clarified her point of view. This kind of opportunity should be used at the final juncture and only use the Death Substitute Talisman when they truly plucked the sacred medicine.
She made a very clear judgment that there was definitely something strange in the vicinity of the sacred medicine and that there was the greatest danger.
"How much soul light do I need to use to control a Cold Lizard every time?"
"I reckon I need to use at least one-twentieth of my soul light. If it's too little, I'll be corroded and burned by its blood qi, and I won't be able to control its body."
In the end, they decided to take a risk. They separated a bit of soul light to control the Cold Lizard's corpse and used it to explore and find the safest path.
"There shouldn't be any problems with the results of your domain deduction, right? Are there only five locations that need to be explored?"
"More or less." Not only did Chu Feng's response make Ouyang Feng stare blankly, but even Ying Zhexian revealed a rare expression of a little girl and immediately rolled her eyes at him.
After that, they used a Cold Lizard to climb the mountain. This was a body of flesh and blood that Chu Feng personally controlled. He wanted to observe the domains on the blood-colored mountain peak from a close distance.
Bang!
Not long after, a blood-colored electric arc streaked across. He let out a muffled groan as that Cold Lizard exploded and turned into a pile of ashes. His spiritual energy was naturally lost.
Next, Ying Zhexian used a wisp of soul light to control the corporeal body of a Cold Lizard and started to climb the mountain.
Pfft!
After a quarter of an hour, that Cold Lizard also exploded and was exterminated in both body and soul. Ying Zhexian also lost a lump of spiritual energy.
There were a total of three out of five nodes that had problems. Ouyang Feng, Chu Feng, and Ying Zhexian each disintegrated a portion of their spiritual energy to explore the correct path.
But they didn't celebrate because it was hard to say whether Chu Feng's subsequent deductions were correct or not.
A Cold Lizard climbed the mountain slowly and climbed up the blood-colored mountain peak. At first, everything was very smooth. This was equivalent to Chu Feng's temporary clone. He saw five sacred medicines on the mountain peak. They were gorgeous with golden, purple, and silver radiance resonating and a sweet fragrance assailing his nostrils.
But what was very bad was that the Cold Lizard that Chu Feng controlled disintegrated once again after reaching this place. It was hacked into pieces by a dark red electric arc.
He lost two lumps of spiritual energy in such a short period of time. His spiritual energy was reduced sharply by one-tenth.
After that, Ying Zhexian and Ouyang Feng also took turns and exploded one after another!
Only Ying Xiaoxiao was taken care of. He didn't let the silver-haired little lolita go into battle.
Ouyang Feng was on the verge of tears. Gathering medicinal herbs was too difficult. One-tenth of his spiritual energy was gone just like that. This could already be considered a heavy injury.
"Chu Feng, Immortal Chu, think about it carefully again. You can't cheat us like this anymore. Didn't you say that there were only five nodes on the road that were uncertain?" The toad scowled miserably.
Chu Feng frowned deeply. There were too many variables on this blood-colored mountain peak. This was definitely the handiwork of a domain master. The emissary from before was too cautious and had all kinds of precautions when climbing the mountain. He most likely had the so-called Divine Magnetic Flag in his hands that could stabilize the path.
Boom!
In the end, the Cold Lizard that Chu Feng controlled was once again smashed into pieces by a blood-colored electric arc and was exterminated in both body and soul.
This was simply using one's life to pave the road. It was too arduous.
Finally, they succeeded at the last moment. Chu Feng, Ouyang Feng, and Ying Zhexian lost almost one-fifth of their spiritual life energy before they arrived in front of the old medicines.
After careful observation, it was the same as their previous judgment.
This was a great medicine similar to the Kun Blood Grass and Qilin Blood Grass. It seemed that its medicinal age was astonishing and it was effective even for quasi-saints. It could be called a sacred medicine!
Now that they were watered with divine beast blood again, the medicinal effects would increase by a large margin if they were given time. But Chu Feng and the others didn't have time to wait.
They were all bright red at first, but now one was golden, one was lustrous purple, one was still as red as blood, one was brilliant silver, and one was clear and azure.
At this moment, the five-colored sacred medicine's medicinal fragrance was so dense that it made people feel as though they were about to leave the ground. It was as though they could sprout wings and ascend to heaven. It seeped into one's soul.
"We're finally going to get it!" Chu Feng was delighted.
After that, he looked at Ying Zhexian and indicated that she could use the Death Substitute Talisman.
That was because the damage to their soul light was too severe and they couldn't consume it anymore. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to handle it if they encountered a special situation.
"Use mine," said Ying Xiaoxiao.
She hadn't used her Death Substitute Talisman yet. Ying Zhexian had participated in the siege against Chu Feng earlier but was trapped in the domain instead. The Death Substitute Talisman had shattered three times!
Ying Zhexian still had two chances to save her life while Ying Xiaoxiao had five.
"Use mine once first." Ying Zhexian didn't allow for any doubt as she stopped her younger sister.
After that, she took out a divine talisman. It was snow-white, sparkling, and engraved with complex and profound patterns. It was personally refined by a heaven-illuminator.
This Death Substitute Talisman would be effective as long as it wasn't used by someone of a higher level.
"Not only do you have to pluck the sacred medicine, but don't forget the divine beast blood at its roots. Just water it and dig it up with mud and soil!" Chu Feng warned.
To be safe, even with the Death Substitute Talisman, Ying Zhexian controlled a Cold Lizard to climb the mountain to pluck the medicine.
"Bang!"
As expected, an accident happened when they were digging up the sacred medicine. An energy light flew out and shattered the Death Substitute Talisman.
"So it's a small-scale Life Deprivation Domain!" Chu Feng saw through what was going on.
After that, he made Ying Zhexian break open a few pieces of soil and stones according to his instructions to make that place safe.
In a split second, scarlet clouds surged with gorgeous rays of light. Apart from that, there was also an astonishing medicinal fragrance that spread from the top of the mountain. It was intoxicating.
Ying Zhexian successfully plucked a golden medicinal herb and extracted the divine beast blood at its roots. She placed all of it into the jade container in her spatial bracelet.
The spatial bracelet was obtained from the bodies of the three dead knights.
Ying Zhexian and Ying Xiaoxiao's Death Substitute Talismans shattered three times in succession, but it wasn't too bad. After all, they didn't waste five times.
In the end, the five sacred medicines and the divine beast blood that had been watered were all collected!
"This is great! We've struck it rich! We can finally break free from the restrictions of ghosts and wash away all our Yin qi. From now on, our Yang qi will truly overflow and we won't have to fear the blood qi of the living beings in this world anymore."
