The three-colored light cover was not broken yet, but the cutting power of the Sky Thunder Cut had forced Ghost Moon to back out continuously, leaving behind a three-colored mark in the air.
"Damn it! Yin Curse! Area Kill!"
His face turned green and red as he took the opportunity to increase the distance between them. He formed a spell with one hand and performed his profound sense martial art Yin Curse continuously, shooting out light marks one after another.
"Immortal Guide!"
Ye Chen performed his sword steps, his body traveling between the gaps of the Yin Curse. That sharp sword qi formed automatically, following Ye Chen's sword aura as it attacked toward Ghost Moon.
Although Ghost Moon's battling power was at the same level as Ye Chen, he was still weaker than Ye Chen in terms of battling techniques. In fact, if it were another Sea of Souls Realm warrior, they might not be able to beat Ye Chen in terms of battling techniques. The sword steps that Ye Chen had learned from the three great sword arts were extremely mysterious. He used his own body as a sword and performed sword arts with his body, which was something that had never been seen before. If the sword steps were forcibly divided into ranks, it would definitely be beyond the top rank Earth Realm step arts, which were equivalent to fifty percent of the profound sense step arts.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Taking one step to the east and one to the west, Ye Chen's step arts were just like his sword arts. They were unrestrained and unstoppable, forcing Ghost Moon to back out continuously with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"No, this brat's step arts are unimaginable. If I continue to fight like this, I will lose all of my face." Ghost Moon's mind was still intact. He knew that no matter what, he would definitely lose his face today. But, there were different degrees of it. If he continued to fight, it would only make him lose more face. Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he had to leave first.
With that thought in mind, Ghost Moon pushed his Zhen yuan and jumped out, appearing dozens of miles away.
"Brat, I will spare your life today. When we meet again in the future, I will make sure your blood splashes everywhere."
After throwing down those words, Ghost Moon used his Zhen yuan and dragged Duan Lingyun away. After dozens of blinks, they disappeared without a trace.
Hu!
Waiting until Ghost Moon left, Ye Chen let out a long breath. It was his first time battling against a Sea of Souls Realm warrior, so it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. But of course, he was more excited than anything else. It was the kind of excitement of being able to use all of his power and surpass his own limits. For him, normal Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors and unbeatable warriors would not be able to interest him at all.
"I've learned a lot from this fight, and I've gained a clear understanding of my own strength."
Ghost Moon was an Early Sea of Souls Realm warrior. His top rank Earth Realm martial arts had not been trained to completion, but he had two top rank great weapons, one for offense and one for defense. His profound sense martial art had been trained to thirty percent. All in all, he was more or less a mid-level warrior. He was not too powerful, but not too weak either.
In the future, if he ran into an enemy Sea of Souls Realm warrior, he would be able to compete with Ghost Moon. Then, he would know who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Mr. Ye, you have indeed opened my eyes. This is my first time seeing an Astral Reaching Realm warrior being able to fight evenly with a Sea of Souls Realm warrior. I think you might even be able to suppress him." Wang Tong's face had regained some color as he waved his robe and flew over.
Putting his sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen said, "It was just luck. If it were other Sea of Souls Realm warriors, it would be impressive if I could stay undefeated."
Wang Tong laughed, "Mr. Ye, you are being too humble. Not to mention the others, there are only a few martial geniuses who could compete with Sea of Souls Realm warriors in the whole South region. In other words, Mr. Ye is at least one of the top ten martial geniuses in the whole region."
"Yeah, Mr. Wang is right. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Ye Chen that the competitive atmosphere in our South Rudra Region has been brought up." Murong Qingcheng nodded to show her agreement.
Ye Chen touched his nose and said to Murong Qingcheng, "Murong, I am afraid you have not used your real power even once, right?"
When he was battling with Ghost Moon, even Duan Lingyun could not handle the aftermath of the Sky Thunder Cut and the Yin Spell, but Murong Qingcheng seemed to be fine. Combined with Murong Qingcheng's mysterious and calm demeanor, Ye Chen had a feeling that she was hiding a deeper level of power.
"Perhaps." Murong Qingcheng knew that she could not hide it from Ye Chen completely, so she did not say anything definite.
After the storm had settled down, the three continued on their journey.
…
Rising Sun Mountain …
Right then, there were a lot of people who were here to explore the secret.
When the auction had just ended, there were a lot of people who knew about the undying body map. A lot of them were willing to pay a high price for a copy of the map, since it was not that hard to copy a map. Therefore, the three hundred maps had turned into more than one thousand, and it was still growing. As for the people who were here to explore the secret, there were more than a thousand of them.
With Wang Tong leading the way, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng soon found the mountain where the rank 11 beast king Blue Light Chicken used to stay.
The mountain had been burnt and crystallized. Even after countless years, it had not completely decayed.
"The Blue Light Chicken was a rank 11 beast king. Although its martial will had disappeared, the mountain that had been refined by the beast yuan was extremely sturdy. Even Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be able to destroy it. Even Sea of Souls Realm warriors would not want to destroy such a valuable research mountain." Wang Tong introduced the scorched mountain as he walked deeper into the mountain. Soon, the three arrived at a less populated area.
Ye Chen quietly pushed his soul power and spread it out. Soon, he found a painting on the wall of the mountain.
Walking in front of the painting, Murong Qingcheng said, "It seems like the first pattern on the map is indeed this mountain in the Chaoyang Mountain."
In the eyes of the three of them, there was a ferocious-looking, glowing chicken-like beast carved on the wall. Underneath the feet of the beast was a cave, and inside the cave was a roaring white skull, which was the second pattern on the map. In front of the chicken-like beast, there was a sun in the sky, and around the sun were small dots, like a desert.
Ye Chen thought of something as he took out the map. After opening it, he realized that the positions of the three on the wall were exactly the same as on the map. The starting point was the rooster pattern, and the bottom right corner of the rooster was the skull pattern. After reaching the fifth pattern, it started to get higher and higher, and the twelfth sun pattern was right above the rooster.
"I see."
Ye Chen looked pensive. He took out a pen and paper, shrinking the scale of the pattern on the wall and drawing it on the paper.
There was no end point on the map, but he could draw a better map with the help of the wall or something else. The map in his hand was only for reference.
Leaving the Chaoyang Mountain, the three walked towards the second pattern on the map.
According to Wang Tong's conjecture, the second pattern represented three places. One was the White Bone Mountain, one was the Burial Ground, and the last one was the Skull Cave. However, according to the mural, the skulls were in the caves, so the skull pattern represented the Skull Cave.
As expected, the three of them also found a wall in a hidden corner of the Skull Cave. This wall had been eroded by time, and had long become blurred. Fortunately, Ye Chen's soul power could sense what was carved on the wall. It was a kind of deep observation.
After the Skull Cave was the Toad River. There was a secret passage at the bottom of the river, which was impervious to water and fire. There were also simple and unadorned wall paintings that had been passed down to this day.
As for the fourth pattern, the difficulty began to increase. Two circles and one square formed a strange pattern. Wang Tong pondered for half a day before setting his target on the Extreme Yin Region's Two Forms Ridge. The three's luck was pretty good, as the Two Forms Ridge was the place represented by the fourth pattern.
Fifth pattern!
Sixth pattern!
Seventh pattern!
…
The eleventh pattern …
Within half a month, the three had found eleven wall paintings, and soon arrived at the twelfth destination — Golden Desert.
"There are a lot of people here!"
Ye Chen raised his head and saw about forty to fifty people. Among them, a dozen were Sea of Soul realm experts, and one was wearing a black robe. Ye Chen could feel an extremely frightening aura from his body. It was the aura of a Sea of Soul realm Master. This was not the first time Ye Chen had seen this person. Back when he hadn't arrived at Three Yin City, he, Murong Qingcheng, and Duan Lingyun had seen this person rushing out from the plains.
The black-robed man glanced around and revealed a faint smile, "Seems like auctioning the map was definitely a wise move. In just half a month, so many people have found the twelfth pattern. If I give them some more time, they might be able to find the place I haven't found yet."
The black-robed man was precisely Yin Demon Ancestor. From the tenth pattern onwards, he had been observing everyone. Being able to find the tenth and the following patterns was enough to prove that they had a deep foundation in historical research.
Rumble!
Right at this moment, the surface of the desert trembled. A lot of sand soared into the sky, covering the sky and sunlight. It was an extremely frightening scene.
"Ah!"
Miserable screams resounded as three Astral Reaching experts were swallowed by something, disappearing into the desert without a trace.
Panic spread. Apart from Sea of Soul realm experts, everyone was nervous.
Rumble!
Another wave of sand shot up, and a huge mouth appeared under the ground. Inside the mouth were sharp teeth that looked like a blender, layered on top of each other, connected to the soft meat wall. Above this huge mouth was indeed Ye Chen, Murong Qingcheng, and the other two.
"Great Demon Capture!"
Murong Qingcheng didn't wait for Ye Chen to make a move. She made a circle with both of her hands, and an invisible force field interweaved, forcibly pulling out the owner of the huge mouth. During the process, Wang Tong couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This thing was too big! Its body was more than two thousand meters long, and the thickest part was three hundred meters, while the thinnest part was still more than a hundred meters. It was a Super Sand Worm, one that could swallow an entire street.
The sand worm struggled with all its might, wanting to break free from Murong Qingcheng's grasp. However, Murong Qingcheng was not an ordinary Astral Reaching expert. With a twist of her right hand, half of the worm's body was twisted in the air. Green juices splashed everywhere, dying the surface of the desert.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but after the appearance of the worm, the sky began to brighten. A ray of sunlight sprinkled down, and in the void in front of everyone, the silhouette of a broken building appeared out of nowhere.
