Crunch …
The handsome man had lost a leg. The sound of bones being chewed came from the ground. This made everyone, including Huan Ji, feel their hair stand on end.
The Meizong and Mirage Sect were mostly humans. They were different from the beasts that liked to eat raw food. When had they ever seen such a bloody scene?
Soon, the sound of bones being chewed stopped.
A skinny figure jumped out from the ground.
It was a humanoid creature that looked more like an ape. Its body was only covered with skin and bones. There was nothing in its two empty eye sockets. Its withered hair was stuck to its head. The corner of its mouth was full of blood and minced meat. It looked quite terrifying.
Huan Ji said with a pale face, "Demonic corpse. It has been thousands of years. How can there still be demonic corpses here?"
The ape corpse emitted a thick corpse aura. It let out a roar and pounced towards Huan Ji.
In another place, a fifth level Core Formation Demonic Bear of the Bear Tribe covered his bloody broken arm. He looked at the black shadow that was biting his arm in the fog. He felt a chill in his heart.
Although it was also a demonic creature, it had never been so cruel.
It was different from those wild demonic bears. Its parents were demonic beasts. It was born with intelligence. It ate cooked meat and drank fruit juice. The thick smell of blood made him feel nauseous.
At this time, the black shadow had finished biting his arm and pounced towards him from the fog.
A hundred steps behind him, several people from the Demonic Dao and Demon Sect were attacking a demonic corpse that came out from the ground.
In other places, the Elders of the Six Dao Sects were also in a similar situation.
A female Elder of the Pill Cauldron Sect looked at the wolf corpse that was pouncing towards her. She waved her hand and threw a pill into the wolf corpse's mouth.
Sizzle …
Green smoke came out of the wolf corpse's mouth. Soon, its entire body turned into a pile of powder.
In another place, a bear corpse was pouncing towards the Elder of the South Sect. It was punched in the head and the bear corpse's head exploded.
At almost the same time, a leopard corpse was killed by the sword array of the Spirit Array Sect.
At the place where Xuanzong was, lightning suddenly struck down from the fog and killed the two black shadows …
On the Northern Sect's side, a Demonic Corpse stretched out its sharp claws and stabbed at a Northern Sect Elder. With a few crisp sounds, its claws broke. At the same time, its head was easily cut off by the Northern Sect Elder's sword …
…
Somewhere in the cave dwelling, Li Mu watched as the two monster corpses turned to ashes beneath the Fu-lu, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Why would there be a strange Demon Corpse here?
Although zombies lived longer than most races, it was impossible for them to live for more than three thousand years. From the moment a corpse gained sentience, it had to re-enter the cycle of life and death.
Furthermore, these demonic corpses looked extremely strange.
Their strength was obviously not weak, and they were not weaker than a Fourth Realm Flying Stiff. However, they did not possess the simple intelligence of a Flying Stiff. Under normal circumstances, this was impossible.
Unless they were strong cultivators above the Fifth Realm before they died. The strength of a strong cultivator's corpse would naturally be extraordinary.
They had existed in the form of corpses in this cave dwelling for as long as three thousand years.
Perhaps the entrance of Li Mu and the others had stimulated them, causing them to mutate. This was the only reason that could explain why there were Demon Corpses that had lived for three thousand years.
Although these corpses were very old, they had only mutated for a short period of time.
If the corpses buried under these stone tablets were the corpses of strong cultivators from the Demon Clan from three thousand years ago, and because of the influx of living people, the process of mutating had accelerated, then …
Li Mu looked at the other stone tablets. Indeed, he saw that all the surrounding stone tablets had begun to shake violently.
He looked at the people around him and said in a low voice, "This place is strange. Everyone, be careful underground!"
Black shadows broke out from the ground under the stone stele. The thick corpse aura mixed with the smell of decay seemed to have diluted the surrounding fog a little.
A Fu-lu School Elder frowned and said, "Why are there so many Demon Corpses in the Demon Emperor's cave dwelling?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. Let's get rid of them first. Otherwise, more and more of them will gather. If we can use the Fu-lu, try not to exhaust your own mana."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the Fu-lu School disciples and the High Priests of the imperial court all launched their Fu-lu attacks.
The Demon Corpses in front of them had to be destroyed. Otherwise, they would be in a dilemma. Fortunately, these Demon Corpses only had strength but no intelligence. It was very easy to get rid of them. The group continued to move forward at a slow pace.
In the process of moving forward, Li Mu also noticed that the fog around them was tumbling and sending waves of mana waves. Obviously, the others here were also fighting with the Demon Corpses.
Li Mu carefully observed these Demon Corpses. A mystery gradually emerged in his heart.
From the strength of these Demon Corpses, their masters should have been strong cultivators of the Demon Clan when they were alive.
If these strong cultivators died in an accident, then their corpses would most likely not be left behind.
Under normal circumstances, only when one's lifespan was exhausted would there be corpses left behind.
But from the appearance of these Demon Corpses, they did not die because their lifespan was exhausted. These Demon Corpses had strong bodies. Most of them were still in the prime of their lives. They were at the peak of their strength. How could they all die in one place?
Li Mu looked at the Demon Corpses that were still surging out. A thought suddenly arose in his mind.
Could it be that they were all buried with the White Emperor?
After the Demon Emperor White Emperor died, the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals under his command were buried with him. This was the only possibility that could explain why there were so many tombstones neatly arranged here.
As Li Mu was thinking about this, he heard the voices of the High Priests and Elders.
"The Fu-lu is all used up."
"Mine is also all used up."
"Why are there so many Demon Corpses here …"
… …
This cave abode had been isolated from the outside world for 3,000 years. There was no supply of Spiritual Qi. After the Fu-lu was used up, they could only use their Mana. Any wise cultivator would not use up all their magic power when they could not replenish their magic power and when the crisis was not over. This was no different from courting death.
Li Mu took out all the Spiritual Jades and Fu-lu from his Flask Heaven Space and distributed them to everyone. He said, "Everyone, use the Fu-lu first. After the Fu-lu is used up, then use your Mana. Remember to use the Spiritual Jades to replenish your Mana at all times …"
Looking at his Flask Heaven Ring, and then looking at the Flask Heaven Cave Abode of others, Li Mu finally understood the difference between them.
The Storage Ring that the White Demon King gave him was only the size of a room. It was cramped for one person to live in. The Demon Emperor White Emperor's cave abode could no longer be described as a villa or a mansion. This was the real Flask Heaven World.
In the blink of an eye, another Demon Corpse emerged from under a stone tablet. Li Mu casually struck it with a Thunder Talisman, turning it into ashes.
The few of them followed the guidance of the paper crane and continued forward. God knows how many Demon Corpses they killed.
Although the further they went, the fewer stone tablets and Demon Corpses there were, the stronger the Demon Corpses they encountered were. From early-stage Level Four, to mid-stage Level Four, to late-stage Level Five Demon Corpses just now.
After death, the Demon Corpses had the power of early-stage Level Five Demon Corpses. That meant that the owner of the Demon Corpses was at least Level Six when they were alive.
In today's world, Level Six Demon Corpses were considered powerful existences. To think that they could be buried with others. This really overturned Li Mu's understanding of the world.
The good thing was that there were not many Demon Corpses of this level. Furthermore, they did not have Spiritual Intelligence and were much weaker than cultivators of the same level.
Even so, along the way, the group had used up most of their Fu-lu and Spiritual Jades. Before entering the White Emperor's cave abode, no one would have thought that the first part of the journey would be so difficult.
Only when there were no more stone tablets around them and no more Demon Corpses jumping out did the group realize that they had arrived at a vast square.
What they were stepping on was no longer earth, but crystal clear Spiritual Jades.
However, the Spiritual Jades laid on the ground did not have any Spiritual Qi.
If the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Jades was absorbed by cultivators at an accelerated rate, the entire Spiritual Jade would turn into dust the moment the Spiritual Qi was exhausted.
Only when the Spiritual Qi was allowed to slowly dissipate could it form a complete Spiritual Jade stone.
It was not hard to imagine that the Spiritual Jades laid here 3,000 years ago should still contain Spiritual Qi. However, as time passed, the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Jades had all dissipated.
Spiritual Jades were items that gathered Spiritual Qi from the outside world. However, when there was no Spiritual Qi in the outside world, the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Jade could not be retained and would gradually dissipate outside.
However, this dissipation speed was extremely slow. It would take hundreds to thousands of years for the Spiritual Qi in a Spiritual Jade to dissipate completely.
These Spiritual Jades without Spiritual Qi also showed that this place had been through a long period of time …
The fog in the square was much thinner than outside the square. The group could already see the situation a hundred steps away. In a certain direction, the fog rolled and several figures walked out.
Huan Ji's group of ten people seemed to be in a sorry state.
Their faces were all pale, and their bodies were covered with injuries. One of the handsome men had even lost a leg, and he looked rather miserable.
Huan Ji did not expect Li Mu to arrive here before them. After her expression changed slightly, she maintained a certain distance from them and sat cross-legged on the ground. She took out two Spiritual Jades and held them in her hands as she meditated.
Not long after, more figures walked out from the fog.
After Xuanzong's group of five walked to the square, they smiled at Li Mu and the others. They also found a place and held Spiritual Jades in their hands to recover their Spiritual Qi.
Shortly after, the Elders of the South Sect, North Sect, Pill Cauldron Sect, and Spirit Array Sect also arrived at the square.
Following closely behind them were the Ghost Sect and the Demon Sect. Five people from the Demon Sect entered, but only four arrived. Among them, one had a broken arm and one had a broken leg.
Although the Ghost Sect did not have fewer people, their bodies were much more illusory than when they entered. One of them was at the fifth realm when they entered, but when he arrived, his aura was only at the fourth realm.
The last to arrive were the subordinates of the four Demon Kings.
Of the five subordinates of the Snake King, only four were left.
Of the five subordinates of the Bear King, one had a broken arm, one had a deep wound on his chest, and the other three were covered in wounds. The blood that seeped out of their wounds was black.
Of the five subordinates of the Panther King and the Wolf King, only three were left. Just this short distance was enough to see the difference in strength between the various factions.
When the six sects of the Dao Sect passed through the land of demon corpses, they did not suffer any losses at all. The fiend sects only lost one demon while the four Demon Kings suffered heavy losses.
Unknowingly, the fog in the square dissipated a little. Everyone's gazes were focused ahead.
In the thin fog, an incomparably majestic palace stood in the middle of the square.
