No one answered. Only the blood-colored banner surged like the waves of the sea. When one looked into it, they felt that it was boundless.
The Dark Queen took out a soybean-sized pill from her sumeru ring and placed it in her mouth, closing her eyes and resting.
Under the layers of corpses, the almost-transparent, white flames burned quietly in Little Ann's eye sockets, clearly reflecting the Dark Queen's appearance.
The matters of the past that she had forgotten long ago, matters that she was unwilling to recall, forcefully burst through the door, leaving no room for evasion.
Her sea of consciousness surged like the ocean. Countless memory fragments were forcefully pieced together, glued together messily.
She saw the lofty, magnificent estate, saw the huge statue that gazed at the ocean in the distance, saw the deep valley, and saw the Dark Queen!
All of these images reflected a child in the end. These were her memories.
The child wore a verdant, jade belt around her waist and wore black, luxurious clothes that were embroidered with dragons and snakes. Her face was handsome, and her expression was cold. It was unfamiliar yet familiar.
Who is she?
Who am I?
… …
"Zi 'er" watched as the Corpse Commanders under her were sucked into the long, blood-red banner and vanished. Arcane treasures and arcane artifacts that could create their own space were all extremely powerful. They definitely could not be possessed by regular people.
Although the "power of the domain" they formed was not as powerful as the space devoured by the Hungry Ghost realm, it would be very difficult to break free if she did not have any countermeasures.
"Get out here!"
"Zi 'er" formed a seal with her hands and bellowed out. Corpse qi surged, turning into a vicious head that shot off with a long trail of black corpse qi.
It targeted the land where the long, blood-red banner protruded from, burrowing in viciously.
There was a rumble. A semicircular ball of earth suddenly protruded from the ground. A wave of earth spread out in all directions, and the ball of earth shattered soon afterwards, erupting with terrifying power and enveloping the Dark Queen as well.
Countless scattered corpses were blown into the air, raining down like a storm.
After the explosion. A huge pit that spanned several kilometers was left on the ground. It was empty. The long, blood-red banner had vanished. Even the Dark Queen was nowhere to be seen.
"Has she been finished off? The arcane artifact should have failed! "
"Zi 'er" frowned. She was actually unable to sense her aura at all.
The group of Corpse Commanders vanished suddenly with the long, blood-red banner. They vanished without a trace.
…
"The Dark Queen's presence has vanished."
In the giant black coffin, Gu Yanying's expression changed. She let out a faint sigh, looking helpless.
Li Qingshan asked curiously, "Really? Can you feel it? "
In the seal of this black coffin, he couldn't even use his Divine Telekinesis to probe the outside world. Could it be that the Golden Core cultivator's Divine Telekinesis was stronger? However, the Marquis of Ruyi paled in fright too. Clearly, he had only learnt about it from Gu Yanying.
Sure enough, she had many tricks up her sleeves. That was to be expected. As the only beloved daughter of the Guardian Eagle Deity, her status was probably even higher than that of many of the princesses and princes of the Great Xia Dynasty. If not for the fact that the Hungry Ghost Realm had restricted her from using many of her techniques, she would probably be able to clear the area with her talisman alone.
"But I'm not sure if he's dead yet." Gu Yanying nodded slightly. A copper coin jumped out of his hand and bounced around a few times, but he was unable to divine anything.
Li Qingshan asked, "Are you leaving?"
"I'm currently considering whether the two of you want to discuss whether one of you should blow up his golden core or daemon core and destroy this black coffin. Send me off? "
The Marquis of Ruyi's expression became uglier and uglier. Li Qingshan laughed aloud. "Don't even think about it!"
"Then forget it. Men really can't be relied on. I still have to rely on myself!" Gu Yanying smiled. Suddenly, her expression grew stern. "It's coming!"
"Zi 'er" turned around and raised her arm, enveloping the black coffin. "Let's deal with these few first!"
She suddenly twisted her arm, and the black coffin shrank rapidly. In the end, it was only the size of a house. She closed her fingers. "Live Burial!"
… …
Among the corpses that had been blasted away by "Zi 'er's" Corpse Qi Ghost Face, an inconspicuous, tiny skeleton curled up, hiding in the huge skull left behind by a corpse beast.
The Blood Sea Banner was stowed away in its mouth, and the Samādhi Flames of White Bone in its eye sockets had become extremely dim, only leaving behind two empty sockets. Its white bones no longer shone with a glossy lustre either.
At first glance, it seemed no different from a regular corpse.
Just who could find a single droplet of water in an ocean?
It was just like what Li Qingshan had said. She could just find a pile of corpses and lie down, and she would be as safe as a muddle.
The Dark Queen opened her eyes again and gazed at the boundless sea of blood below in shock. All she saw was the Corpse Commanders that lunged towards her currently clashing against the sea of blood that constantly lunged over.
White skeletons wandered about in the sea of blood. They were not powerful, but they seemed endless, lunging over with each wave.
Over twenty huge skulls constantly revolved around in the surroundings, spitting out white flames at them.
However, these Corpse Commanders were all extremely powerful. Even without the assistance of Corpse Soldiers and Corpse Generals, they could still charge about in the sea of blood like there was no one there. Even the Skeleton Demons could not stop them.
However, the Dark Queen discovered that they had wrapped themselves in corpse qi, afraid to let even a sliver of the sea of fire and sea of blood touch her. This was no longer just caution, but also a form of fear.
And, their numbers seemed to have decreased by two compared to when they surrounded her.
As the Dark Queen had expected, the Corpse Commanders were indeed filled with fear. When they were trapped here earlier, they did not care about the blood and fire at all.
Their bodies were extremely tough. Even if flying swords directly stabbed them, they might not even be able to pierce through their skin.
And, they did not have any weak points. Even if their heads were chopped off and their bodies were cut in half, they would not die. They were even tougher than Golden Core cultivators who had tempered their bodies for many years like Han Anguo.
This continued until the fire burned them and the blood stained their bodies.
A Corpse Commander was directly burned to death. His indestructible body was like dry firewood that had encountered fire, incinerating in the blink of an eye. That was not the most horrific part. There was another whose lower body had been melted away by the blood. He shrieked madly and was swallowed by the sea of blood in just a few moments.
Their willpower that had been forged like steel in the Hungry Ghost realm suddenly weakened in the sea of blood. The feeling of despair that they had not experienced in a very long time constantly assaulted them, throwing their minds into a mess.
The sea of blood was boundless, and there was no turning back.
All that awaited them was endless oblivion. It was even more terrifying than living in the Hungry Ghost realm, even more brutal than the punishments in the Hell realm.
The Blood Sea Banner was still very weak, but it still contained the despair of a bodhisattva!
"Where is this?" "Let's work together and kill our way out of here!"
After a moment of panic, the Corpse Commanders gradually calmed down. They worked together to disperse the Skull Prayer Beads and stood back to back, observing the surroundings vigilantly. They gathered their corpse qi together and condensed it into a black sphere in the air, constantly expanding.
Sure enough, the space twisted and rippled. They could vaguely smell the familiar aura of the Hungry Ghost realm. The Corpse Commanders all riled up with vigour.
At this moment, the Dark Queen appeared. She had refined the pill. Not only did her aura recover, but even her vigour was roused. It was like she had been resting for three days and three nights. She did not seem exhausted from the bitter battle at all.
"It doesn't matter who the helper is. Now is the perfect time to kill these Corpse Commanders! "
The Dark Queen's gaze was cold, noble, and composed. A black figure rose up from her shadow, reaching several hundred meters tall in the blink of an eye. It turned into a Void-bellied Ghost King and slammed down with its hand.
The sea of blood surged as the Corpse Commanders fled in all directions. The black sphere they had condensed after so much difficulty immediately collapsed.
The Dark Queen's strength had always been enough to contend against these Corpse Commanders. Now, not only had the Corpse Commanders lost two of their companions, but they had even lost the support of the corpse army.
The sea of blood constantly interfered with and influenced them. When the Dark Queen appeared and destroyed the black sphere, the sense of despair immediately filled their hearts. They felt like it was useless no matter how they resisted, so they were better off giving up now.
Although they suppressed this thought very soon through their great willpower, they could not help but react slightly slower. And, they had to constantly split their attention to fend off the sense of despair in their hearts, making it impossible for them to unleash their full strength.
As a result, the situation reversed. The Dark Queen easily gained the upper hand, suppressing the Corpse Commanders firmly and slaughtering them until they fled in all directions. She had viciously vented her frustrations.
The Void-bellied Ghost King swung its hand at a Corpse Commander. A huge shadow loomed over!
A sliver of despair appeared in the Corpse Commander's eyes. He thought, So what if I escape this palm strike? Isn't it just a path to death in the end? No, how can I think like that? Oh no!
Distracted, the Corpse Commander returned to his senses. The huge palm filled his vision, and the wind from it rushed over. It was already too late to dodge. He was sent flying viciously, falling into the sea of blood.
The Dark Queen knew this was nowhere near enough to kill a Corpse Commander. Just when she was about to follow up with another attack, she saw the sea region surge violently. The Corpse Commander let out a miserable howl, which left her slightly taken aback.
She had come into contact with the Hungry Ghost realm many times, so she knew that the minds and willpower of these zombies were almost numb. No amount of pain could faze them. Even when destruction descended, they would not even feel fear. As a result, basically all techniques that could confuse the mind would struggle to work.
Just what kind of terrifying thing can make a Corpse Commander let out such a miserable howl?
As it turned out, while the Void-bellied Ghost King's palm strike had failed to kill the Corpse Commander, it had dispersed his protective corpse qi, making him fall into the sea of blood like he had fallen into a pool of sulfuric acid.
If the Corpse Commander immediately mobilized his corpse qi, he could still force the blood away and break free from the sea of blood. However, under the violent corrosion of the blood, great fear and despair spread. His mind was thrown into disarray, like a drowning person who could not swim. All he could do was struggle desperately subconsciously, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank. His body melted into a pool of blood very soon, becoming a part of the sea of blood. Only a skeleton remained, floating above the sea of blood.
A group of Skeleton Demons lunged over and surrounded the skeleton. With a spray of the Samādhi Flames of White Bone, it melted into a ball of liquid very quickly. Before long, another Skeleton Demon leapt out of the flames, and the number of Skeleton Demons reached twenty-six, reaching a new bottleneck.
