Lu Xiaotian had considerable knowledge of formations. Yinggou was a peerless expert of the same generation as Jiangchen Tiandu and the Nether Blight Silkworm. Even if it was just a piece of its skull, the Corpse Qi was no small matter.
However, the strand of immortal energy left behind by Celestial Emperor Honghao greatly affected the corpse energy in Yinggou's skull. Lu Xiaotian quickly came to a conclusion. With his current strength, his chances of success were extremely low.
If there was a countermeasure, it wasn't entirely hopeless.
Totemic power and draconic essence merged once more and sank into the enormous mountain range before him. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian felt as if he had become a part of the mountain range. Upon entering, the mountain range seemed to transform into a greater world, filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Countless warships galloped above the turbulent turquoise waves. No warship could fly in this boundless black ocean.
The skeletal warships of the Ghost Clan were made of either the bones of giant elephants or dragon bones. The warships came in all shapes and sizes. There were ghost soldiers, skeleton armies, or ferocious ghosts with green faces and fangs, with blood oozing out of the corners of their mouths, and ghost soldiers on them.
Many demon clans from the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm were also on warships, fighting fiercely with the Immortal Army from the side realms. There were as many warships as there were ants in the dark green ocean, and the various clans were fighting in an astonishingly tragic way.
Lu Xiaotian had already witnessed the power of the Hadal Weak Water in the Dark Withered Sea. Countless experts of various races were drowned after falling into the turquoise waves, and only a few managed to struggle their way back to the warships. Lu Xiaotian could already tell that the black waves were from the Dark Withered Sea. No, they were even more terrifying than the Dark Withered Sea. Only a truly boundless ocean formed by the Hadal Weak Water could strike fear into the hearts of various armies. Only a very small number of gifted people could survive in the Weak Water. Of the various races, only a few could fly at low altitudes above the Hadal Weak Water. If one did not have a battleship that was specially crafted to travel on it, once one fell into the black waves, it would be a dead end for them.
To the entire Immortal Demon Battlefield, this greenish-black ocean was just the tip of the iceberg. On another vast continent surrounded by clouds, a full moon hung high in the sky. Under the full moon, groups of wolf riders were sweeping up large numbers of human immortal soldiers and ghost soldiers like a whirlwind. Wherever the weapons went, everything was crushed into powder.
Hordes of Immortal Army soldiers were slaughtered by the Howling Moon Wolf Cavalry. From the void to the ground, the Howling Moon Wolf Cavalry were domineering. There was also a group of immortal soldiers wearing the same immortal armor with the emblem of a crimson eagle on their chests. They went against the flow and withstood the wild charge of the Howling Moon Wolf Cavalry. This immortal army was the most elite immortal army of the Honghao Heavenly Court, the Wuhao Eagle Immortal Guard.
An army of ghost elephants, whose bodies were emitting large amounts of black smoke, charged into the other side of the battlefield and engaged in a fierce battle with a dragon army.
Countless living beings lost their lives in the fierce battle. Monstrous killing intent almost caused Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit to collapse, turning it into countless specks of light.
Lu Xiaotian even had the misconception that cracks had appeared on his primordial spirit under the impact, and that it would be annihilated in the void at any time like a spark.
Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit was especially strong at his current level of cultivation. After many trials, and the foundation he had laid down with the Rending God Secret Art when he was in the qi refinement stage, he had wandered on the edge of life and death countless times over the years, devouring the primordial spirits and essences of countless monsters and turning them into a dragon soul.
Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit had endured countless tests. Because he had devoured too many primordial spirits, the monstrous killing intent caused Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit to almost lose control.
This boundless killing intent was just one of many tests for Lu Xiaotian.
Just as his primordial spirit was about to collapse, Lu Xiaotian suddenly came to his senses in the face of this enormous pressure. When Lu Xiaotian came back to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat at his current situation. Gray corpse qi had already touched the surface of his body like a grid, and was even seeping into his body.
The discomfort he'd felt earlier was caused by this gray corpse qi. No wonder Jiangchen Tian hadn't sent the two sky immortal ghouls, Nightcry and Corpse Curl, here. Nightcry and Corpse Curl were stronger than Lu Xiaotian in a one-on-one fight. Even if Lu Xiaotian used his totemic power, it would be difficult for him to contend with these two sky immortal ghouls.
However, Yinggou's strength lay in his primordial spirit, and he was a rare descendant of the Corpse Ancestor with an especially powerful primordial spirit. Nightcry and Corpse Curl's nascent spirits weren't all that outstanding compared to other sky immortals. In fact, they were a bit weaker than most of the sky immortals Lu Xiaotian had seen in his life. This was a common problem for ghouls and ghouls.
When Lu Xiaotian woke up, he immediately mobilized his dragon essence and totemic power to expel the corpse qi that'd already attached itself to the surface of his body and had even seeped into his body. The corpse qi that'd already entered his body was extremely stubborn. It was like attaching itself to a bone, but Lu Xiaotian had some experience with this kind of situation. Lu Xiaotian guided it directly into the Green Fruit Enchantment. Once this strand of pure Corpse Qi entered the Green Fruit Enchantment, it was naturally at Lu Xiaotian's mercy.
However, this corpse qi came from Yinggou, an expert on the same level as Jiangchen Tiandu and the Nether Blight Silkworm. It might be of great use in the future.
After discovering that the Green Fruit Boundary was effective against this corpse qi, Lu Xiaotian calmed down. As long as the corpse qi couldn't invade and take control of his body, Lu Xiaotian's safety was undoubtedly much higher. However, Yinggou's forte was in consciousness attacks, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
Just as this thought appeared in Lu Xiaotian's mind, Ying Gougu's Spiritual Sense attack descended once again.
Before, it had been a blazing battlefield of immortals and demons, filled with murderous intent. Now, it was a mountain of corpses and bones. Broken limbs and corpses of immortals, monsters, ghosts, and demons were strewn everywhere.
Broken immortal treasures were either stuck in the ground or lying lifelessly between rocks and weeds. There was also a portion that still had spirituality that floated aimlessly in the air …
After the great battle, the battlefield was desolate and deathly silent. That despairing and desolate aura was almost maddening.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian seemed to understand where the despairing and sorrowful aura in the withered mulberry forest had come from. It didn't originate from Yinggou, but the Nether Blight Silkworm had comprehended something from Yinggou's aura and refined it into the picture scroll. The picture scroll was a top grotto-heaven immortal treasure.
It looked like a picture scroll, but in fact, it was a world of its own. People like Lu Xiaotian who entered the picture were all affected by it. Even the sky immortal experts Corpse Stream and Corpse Zhong had gone mad and died in the despairing and sorrowful aura. Even Corpse Curl and Night Cry, who were stronger, would've followed in Corpse Stream and Corpse Zhong's footsteps if Lu Xiaotian hadn't intervened.
