"The Witchcraft Ghost Path's Heavenly Corpse looks like this. It really looks like a demon, like the Flying Yaksha in Buddhist murals."
Hong Yi looked at the monster that suddenly appeared in the sky. His eyes sparkled as he clearly saw the monster's appearance.
Now that his martial arts had improved greatly and he had successfully cultivated the "True Wu Sheng Physique", his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh had been tempered by the "Electric Brilliance Body". His Qi and blood were firm and his eyesight had also improved. Although it was the darkest hour before dawn, he could still clearly see the feathers of birds in the sky, let alone such a large monster.
This devil monster had two pairs of large fleshy wings, and its entire body was covered in scales. The color was dark blue with a hint of black gold. It was the kind that was impervious to swords and spears. Its scales were even thicker than the scales of the Black Devil Qilin Horse.
The scales covered its entire body and even its face. Its two fangs were exposed and its blood-red eyes were like rubies, emitting a faint glow. This kind of appearance was fierce, ferocious, fiendish, and ruthless … It was as if all the terrifying words in the world had been concentrated on its body.
As this monster flew, it also held a weapon in its hand. It was a pitchfork that looked like a yaksha king's. It was forged from black iron, and the sharp tip of the pitchfork was covered in spots of blood. This was the result of killing countless living beings and staining it with their blood.
This monster was like an eagle circling in the sky. As it circled, it let out sharp cries that made people's scalps go numb and their souls tremble.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Corpse seemed to have locked onto a target. Its fleshy wings suddenly closed and it swooped down into the forest like a sword. Then, sharp roars came from the forest in the distance. There was the roar of a violent bear and the roar of a fierce tiger.
After a series of roars, the Heavenly Corpse soared into the sky again. The pitchfork in one hand pierced through a brightly colored tiger, and the other hand carried a pitch-black bear.
The tiger and bear weighed at least two thousand pounds, but it didn't take any energy to carry them into the air. It was as easy as eating or drinking.
"What a powerful Sky Corpse. This kind of strength is equivalent to a peak Xiantian master. Moreover, it can fly, and its whole body is impervious to swords and spears. Hunting tigers and bears is as easy as catching chickens. I wonder if it can use magic? The vastness of the world is truly wondrous. In the past, I only knew about the Flying Yaksha from the unofficial history notes, but I've never seen one with my own eyes. "
Hong Yi watched as the Heavenly Corpse killed a tiger and a bear in an instant and flew into the sky. He didn't make a move to "subdue the demon". One had to know that this place was already close to the Wasteland, and the situation here was extremely complicated. If he were to provoke someone powerful, although he was not afraid, it would definitely affect his plan to seize the treasure and kill the Black Wolf King Bi Shihua.
"The master of this Sky Corpse isn't anyone powerful. If it's a Corpse King, then the person who made it must be a Ghost Immortal. I'll have to be careful. The Witchcraft Ghost Sect is a powerful force in the Desolate Land. It's not like they don't have any Ghost Immortals." Chan Yinsha didn't seem to be worried.
"The Sky Corpse is already so powerful. I wonder what the Corpse King is like? These Witchcraft Ghost Sect really don't know the rules of etiquette. They call the Corpse King. "
Hong Yi snorted.
"Didn't you kill the imperial envoy?" Chan Yinsha smiled. "Let's go. I've only wandered in the Desolate Land once, looking for the Nine Leaf Ganoderma. I'm not familiar with the place. If we follow this Sky Corpse, we can find the lair of the Witchcraft Ghost Sect. We can capture the master of this Sky Corpse and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Enduring Monk. The Witchcraft Ghost Sect is a big sect in the Desolate Land. They have more information than us."
The Enduring Monk of the Daizen Temple had brought the Cosmos Sack to the Desolate Land. The Witchcraft Ghost Sect would definitely have some information.
"Alright!"
Hong Yi nodded and agreed. He and Chan Yinsha rode the wind and flew behind the Sky Corpse.
Although this Heavenly corpse was carrying a tiger and a bear, it flew extremely fast like an eagle. With a flap of its wings, the airflow surged. It turned its body sideways and controlled the airflow to glide for two to three miles, displaying its exquisite flying skills.
After flying for four hours, the sky was already bright. After flying for another seven to eight hundred li, a small island appeared in the distance. It looked like a green snail floating in the blue sky and the blue sea.
The Sky Corpse circled for a while before diving down and landing in a forest on the island.
"Eh?"
Hong Yi hid a strand of his will in the air and followed it. He discovered that there was a small wooden building in the forest. Around the wooden building, there were many natives with pitch-black bodies and only a layer of beast skin. Above the wooden building, there was a skinny daoist priest with an extremely long beard. He was clad in cotton daoist robes and had a bone staff in his hand.
This daoist priest inclined his head and glanced at the Sky Corpse that was diving down. He cursed, "I told you to patrol the sea and see if there are any ships or fleets passing by. Yet, you actually went to hunt bears and kill tigers to eat! Recently, the sect leader heard that many experts from the Middle-Earth Heavenly Provinces have come to the Desolate Land to search for treasures. He told us to guard the entrance of the Desolate Land and immediately inform us to make preparations if anything happens. If a devil like you dares to delay my matters, I will burn you with phosphorous fire. "
"Eh? Who is this fellow daoist? You are using your will to track my Sky Corpse? "
At this moment, the daoist priest suddenly discovered that something was wrong. He stared at the sky and suddenly waved the bone staff in his hand. He let out a long whistle that could seize souls.
The surrounding natives with pitch-black skin hurriedly knelt on the ground and prostrated themselves in worship when they heard the daoist priest's voice.
"When did the Witchghost Path establish a stronghold on the sea? Could it be that they want to rely on these natives to establish a country? Little daoist, don't resist anymore. Your Soul Seizing Devil Sound is useless against us. "
A gust of majestic sinister wind enveloped Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha as they landed on the ground in front of the wooden building.
After the two of them landed, the sinister wind instantly dissipated. After stepping on solid ground, Chan Yinsha looked at the daoist priest who was sitting on the wooden building with a bone staff in his hand.
"Hmph!"
When the daoist priest saw Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha descending, he grinned and pointed his finger as he let out another sharp whistle.
"You two dao companions actually dare to fly with your physical bodies and land in the middle of me? You are simply courting death! Are all the dao experts of the Middle-Earth Heavenly Provinces so arrogant and conceited? "A green light flashed in the eyes of the daoist priest.
That Sky Corpse roared. It lifted its steel trident and fiercely attacked. With a flap of its wings, dust flew up from the ground. It was impossible to see anything within a radius of 20 to 30 feet.
Swish!
Amidst the dust, the steel trident was like a divine weapon that tore through the void. It attacked ferociously and headed straight for Hong Yi's face.
"Damn, this attack is really fast. I can't even react in time. If I executed my dao technique a little slower, I would have been hacked to death. This Sky Corpse's martial prowess is really strong. "
When Hong Yi saw the steel trident flying over, he didn't dodge. Instead, he used the Shattering Blade in his hand to meet it. With a slash, a thick blade light coiled around his body like an electric python. Instantly, the steel trident was sliced into several pieces.
At the same time, the blade light swept over. The Sky Corpse screamed as its body was immediately split into two. When the tough scales collided with the blade, a series of sparks flew. When the scales were sliced apart, even Hong Yi felt an immense resistance.
One must know that when Hong Yi executed the Swift Thunder Arc Light with the Shattering Blade, he could even slice apart a one-foot-thick metal block like tofu. It was impossible for him to feel any resistance. However, the scales of this Sky Corpse could actually cause him to feel resistance. They were much tougher than any armor.
"What tough scales! It's a pity that my Shattering Blade is too sharp! This Sky Corpse only knows martial prowess and not dao techniques, so it's not that scary. However, its body is tough and it can fly. It's much more tyrannical than a Xiantian master. "
After Hong Yi sliced apart this Sky Corpse, he rushed forward. The thirty steps were covered in a single charge. When he reached the wooden building, the Shattering Blade was already pressed against the Daoist priest's neck.
This Daoist priest had just stood up and didn't have time to use any dao techniques before he was subdued by martial prowess.
At this time, Hong Yi's body was tough and his martial prowess was high. He wasn't the slightest bit inferior to a Martial Grandmaster. In close combat, any dao technique master would have to think twice.
Don't look at how he had instantly killed this Sky Corpse. This was because his martial prowess was too high and the Shattering Blade was too sharp. If it were anyone else, even if they had an army to deal with this Sky Corpse, it would only be a disaster. It would be impossible to even break through the defense of its scales.
Perhaps even the Penetrating Rainbow bow wouldn't be able to pierce through these tough scales.
Looking at the Shattering Blade that was as tall as a person, the blade was so sharp that it made one's fur tremble. The Daoist priest's expression changed.
Hong Yi didn't wait for this Daoist priest to speak. He grabbed the back of his neck and jumped off the wooden building like an eagle carrying a chick. He brought the Daoist priest in front of Chan Yinsha.
"You don't have to resist or use any tricks. You've probably heard of my name. I'm the Silver Shark King, one of the eight great Demonic Immortals in the world. This is my Taoist partner and also a Ghost Immortal. Even if your Sect Leader comes, he might not be a match for us. If you answer my questions honestly, I might spare your life!"
Chan Yinsha looked at this Daoist priest. His words directly extinguished any thoughts of resistance the Daoist priest might have.
Ghost Immortals were great achievements among the daoist experts in the world. They were extremely rare. There were as many daoist cultivators in the world, but those who could become Ghost Immortals were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Hong Yi took a look at this Daoist priest. His will wasn't very strong. He had only cultivated to the realm of manifestation. He could kill him with a flick of his finger.
"So it's True Immortal Silver Shark! I was sent by the Witchghost Dao to guard the sea route from Heaven Province to the Desolate Wasteland. True Immortal Silver Shark has dominated the four seas. Everyone knows of his fame. A few days ago, Yun Meng's warship arrived from the sea. It's already headed for the Desolate Wasteland. True Immortal Silver Shark's enemy, True Immortal Black Wolf, is on it. "
"Mm? How long has it been since Black Wolf King's fleet arrived? "
Chan Yinsha asked anxiously.
"It's been three days! I originally had five Sky Corpses that I had just refined from flying corpses. It took me a lot of effort, but because I got close to the fleet, four of them were captured. Now the last one has been killed. I've spent my life's work. I beg True Immortal Silver Shark to spare my life. "
The Daoist priest shouted.
"Where is their fleet heading? Have you ever heard of a monk who escaped from the Daizen Temple in the Desolate Wasteland? "
"I don't know. However, twenty years ago, there was indeed a group of monks who came from Heaven Province and fled to the Desolate Wasteland. They even had a chat with our sectmaster. Afterwards, they disappeared without a trace. True Immortal Black Wolf's fleet is heading south. They've most likely reached the Skypiercing Wasteland by now." The Daoist priest revealed everything he knew without holding anything back.
"Mm. Not bad. Let's go."
Chan Yinsha signaled for Hong Yi to immediately set off to pursue Black Wolf King's fleet.
"What about this Daoist priest?"
Hong Yi asked.
"Let him go. We need to hurry up. We need to catch up to Black Wolf King and kill him. Otherwise, if some of the Marquis Champion's men arrive in the Desolate Wasteland as well, a chaotic battle might ensue. "
After hearing the news about Black Wolf King, Chan Yinsha grew impatient. With a thought, he wrapped himself around Hong Yi's body.
Hong Yi didn't feel at ease. He waved his hand and unleashed the Crow Blackfiend Formation. The Daoist priest immediately fainted and collapsed to the ground.
"I'll use the Crow Blackfiend Formation to trap him for two days. I don't want him to divulge our whereabouts," Hong Yi said.
"Hong Yi, you're being too careful. We ghost immortals roam the world. We don't care about life and death. Even if we divulge our whereabouts, the experts of the Witchghost Path won't dare to cause trouble for us. Don't waste time with minor characters. "
Chan Yinsha said nonchalantly.
"Yinsha, you're quite famous at sea. Many people know about the grudge between you and Black Wolf King?"
After flying again, Hong Yi asked.
"I've fought with the Black Wolf King hundreds of times. Many cultivators were implicated in the battle at sea. Some of the experts from the Witchghost Path passed by when we were fighting, and some of them died. Their sect master didn't come looking for trouble with me. Ghost immortals are all immortals. There is no irreconcilable enmity, no tempting Dharma treasures or Daoist books. Who would be willing to fight to their death? "
This time, the two of them used their Spiritual Strength and flew at high speed. Compared to before, they were several times faster. As they flew, a white wave of air rushed out of the sky. It lasted for a long time, like a white rainbow.
They flew for another day and night.
A huge continent with no end in sight, lush forests, plains, mountains, and rivers appeared in front of them.
This was a real continent, not an island in the sea. This was because Hong Yi could feel that the thick aura of the earth was something the islands in the sea didn't have.
After scanning the surroundings with his thoughts for a few hours, Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha finally found an estuary on a plain. A simple harbor was built there. Many large ships stopped at the harbor and anchored.
The flags on the ships fluttered in the wind. They were written in Yun Meng's words.
It was Yun Meng's fleet.
"Wow, how many people did Yun Meng bring? An entire army? "
Hong Yi said as he looked at the large ships anchored on the sea. There were two to three hundred of them.
