Chapter 1305: Chapter 718: What are the Ruins (Additional Chapter for 27200 Monthly Votes) Chapter 1305: Chapter 718: What are the Ruins (Additional Chapter for 27200 Monthly Votes) The so-called ruins are territories not yet trodden by the Human Race.
After Mother of Water opened up the Five Continents and Four Seas, the Human Race initially appeared in the Tianhe Realm as blood food for Demonic beasts. Eventually, a Great Divine Power Wielder took pity on them, teaching the arts of Immortal Cultivation, and gradually, Cultivators began to emerge among the Human Race.
But the Human Race’s Cultivators simply couldn’t compare with the naturally favored True Spirits. Not to mention those royal families who could undergo Divinity Transformation upon maturity, even ordinary Demonic beasts were beyond their defeat.
In order to maintain the survival of their species and keep the embers of hope alive,
led by Sages, the Human Race set forth from Central State, expanding and branching out. Some crossed the seas and arrived here in the East Continent.
Along the way, the Human Race continually died, reproduced, and survived. Some encountered powerful beings like Heavenly Sovereigns who protected territories and chose to stay under their protection.
When they first arrived at East Continent, the fertile Spirit Fields here were mostly occupied by Ancient Beasts and Demons, including creatures like Earth Spirit Locusts that only knew destruction.
These places not yet seized and cultivated by the Human Race were collectively referred to as ruins.
Afterward, under the guidance of the Sages, the Human Race bravely cleared paths and developed areas suitable for their own survival, which are now known as the Eastern Region.
But this was only one of the most essential parts of East Continent. Many areas rich in resources and Spirit Veins remained uncultivated by the Human Race.
The reason they weren’t cultivated was firstly, the resources in the current territories of the Eastern Region were already sufficient for the Cultivators of the Human Race to exploit and use.
Secondly, in the deepest part of the ruins, ancient True Spirits lurked whose strength was at least equivalent to Human Race’s Divinity Transformation.
For example, the territories of East Wasteland and East Wu along with Yun Meng Ze were originally the domain of a Rank-5 Yellow Dragon.
The Pioneer Cultivators from East Land almost met their total demise here. Had it not been for the emergence of True Lord Yuan later, these two regions of East Wasteland and Dongwu would probably remain ruins to this day, never having had success in cultivation.
It was precisely because of this environment that the ruins contained infinite resources and Ancient Beasts that even Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarchs) would not dare to overlook.
Thus, many Magic Daoist Monks who could not make a living within the territories of the Human Race and who could not outdo their fellow Magic Path cultivators would choose to take risks and enter the ruins in search of opportunities.
Perhaps they might find celestial Spiritual Objects and break their Shackles.
For this reason, although the ruins contained layers of danger, once those top Holy Land Major Sects in East Land felt that the number of Cultivators was becoming excessive, they would mobilize Cultivators from the Eastern Region to form Pioneer armies, continually pushing forth into the unclaimed ruins yet to be conquered by the Human Race.
Chen Mobai’s mind flashed with information about the ruins as Spiritual Light emerged in his pupils, looking towards the dark yellow tornado that was howling and sweeping towards him again.
“Brats from the Eastern Wastes, I’ll give you a chance to retreat immediately, or else you’ll all die here!”
Just then, a hoarse, sharp female voice rose from within the tornado that shot out bone spears.
“Since they are Devil Cultivator Monks, then let me take action.”
After hearing this, Ye Qing slowly stepped forward in midair. He raised his right hand to grasp his Longsword on his back, just about to unsheathe it, when Yuan Zhen stopped him.
“Senior brother, since you’ve hired the Five Elements Sect and Eastern Wasteland Cultivators, this is the time for them to exert their effort.”
Hearing Yuan Zhen’s words, Shen Shanqing and Yu Hai both lowered their heads, fearful of being called upon to act.
Although they were also disciples of a Nascent Soul Major Faction, they were only at the Foundation Establishment level, and despite being somewhat more powerful than the one who had just perished, it was limited.
And it was clear that this Devil Cultivator Monk had at least the power of a Golden Core Stage. If they were to charge forward, it was likely not many would return alive.
Loose Cultivators were the most anxious for their lives. By then, they had already decided that if they were really sent to be cannon fodder, they would disperse and flee for their lives as soon as they left the Flying Boat.
“It’s a Golden Armored Zombie!”
At that moment, Chen Mobai, using his Void Spirit Eye, had penetrated the surface of the tornado and glimpsed the strange golden figure within.
Wind Blades slashed upon its body, sparking a string of Flames, seeming as if this Corpse Cultivator was using the natural disasters here to temper his own physique.
“If it’s a Golden Armored Zombie, then it has a strong physical body, and even among Core Formation, it’s a considerable force…”
After hearing this, Ye Qing nodded gently, feeling it more secure to take action himself against such an opponent.
“Senior brother, Sect Master Chen is known as the premier Sword Cultivator of the Eastern Wastes. Dealing with just a Golden Armored Zombie should be easy for him.”
But just then, Yuan Zhen managed to squeeze in a teasing remark before Ye Qing could finish his sentence.
Hearing this, Chen Mobai just smiled without a word. Ye Qing looked at him, then withdrew his hand from the sword handle and gave a slight fist salute towards Chen Mobai, “Then I’ll leave it to Sect Master Chen.”
Yuan Zhen, watching this, couldn’t help but snicker to herself.
Others might not know the strength of a Golden Armored Zombie, but how could she be unaware?
Even if she were to act, she would need to utilize the secret Sword Dao of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to be assured of victory.
This Sect Master Chen from the Eastern Wasteland might have a resounding reputation, but surely he was bluffing and nothing but a big fish in a small pond. When the time came for him to desperately seek help in disarray, she’d step in to save him, and upon successful completion of the mission upon returning, he probably would feel too embarrassed to take the Spirit Stones.
As Ye Qing’s junior sister, Yuan Zhen was scarcely needed in battles against Devil Cultivators, so she was used to demonstrating her worth in aspects such as Spirit Stones and Elixirs.
She felt that hiring a small sect from the rural areas to act as escorts was excessive even for a million Spirit Stones.
But since Ye Qing offered so much, she didn’t say anything in front of everyone at the time, although she still took note in her mind and held it against Chen Mobai for not voluntarily refusing and returning the payment.
So she thought of letting the Five Elements Sect lose some face in the ruins, making Chen Mobai understand that the Five Elements Sect wasn’t worth that many Spirit Stones.
At that moment, Chen Mobai stepped forward lightly.
Beneath his feet, the five-colored clouds complemented his red and black robe. Amid the hazy surroundings, his bearing was both dignified and majestic.
But that step had enraged the Golden Armored Zombie on the other side.
“Since you’re seeking death, I’ll grant it to you!”
Amidst a fierce shout, bone spears stabbed out from all around.
But Chen Mobai opened his mouth and spit out a white beam like a blazing bolt of lightning.
In an instant, a scorching air flow burst forth as the white beam cut through the void, its intense high temperature causing the air itself to ignite.
In the eyes of the onlookers filled with disbelief, the white beam sliced into one of the tornadoes.
Then the wind was cleaved apart, revealing a golden, glittering body wrapped in a black robe. The Corpse Cultivator’s stiff face registered shock as he lifted his hand in an attempt to block, upon seeing the Extreme Sun Slash descending upon him.
However, the white beam was unstoppable.
The hand was severed.
Half of the head was also cleaved by the white beam, and a jet of black pus sprayed out from the Golden Armored Zombie’s cranium, incinerated by the high temperature of the Extreme Sun Slash into a black, foul-smelling smoke.
At the same time, all the bone spears flying towards Chen Mobai struck a layer of dazzling, multicolored air flow and were instantly turned to dust.
Yuan Zhen, witnessing this scene, had her eyes narrowed sharply!
With a snap!
The half-body of the Golden Armored Zombie with its head severed plummeted to the ground, and then a blinding white flame spread from the wound in her skull, engulfing her entire body and emitting billowing black smoke.
In just a few breaths, she had turned to a pile of ash.
Chen Mobai, upon seeing this, immediately extinguished the flames of the Extreme Sun Slash to avoid turning the entire mountaintop into molten lava.
“This Golden Armored Zombie’s physical body is only Rank-3, and her Divine Sense is an obvious weakness.”
“Even so, any attack below Rank-3 or even from an ordinary Rank-3 would likely fail to break her defense. To conserve energy, True Person Ye, only my intervention could assuredly take her down.”
“If she had been a little weaker, it would have been good to let the Sect Disciples gain some experience and practice with the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.”
After dispatching the Golden Armored Zombie with a single Extreme Sun Slash, Chen Mobai flew back, expressing his slight regret.
Ye Qing didn’t show much reaction to these words, but Yuan Zhen was left mouth agape, her face a picture of shock.
What had she just seen!?
A single sword stroke had slain the Golden Armored Zombie!
Even if she were to use her bitterly cultivated Demon Slaying Secret Sword, it would probably take several moves to bring her down.
But what was beyond belief for her was the multicolored air flow that Chen Mobai had used to block the bone spears!
As a Sect Member of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she had also experienced the iconic Divine Skills of the Holy Land.
“Sect Master Chen, the technique you just used, was it Primordial True Qi?”
Unable to hold back, Yuan Zhen asked Chen Mobai for confirmation as he flew over.
“Yes, I was fortunate enough to refine a bit for protection.”
Chen Mobai humbly replied, then returned to the Flying Boat and began directing the disciples of the Five Elements Sect to search the nearby area to see if they could find the lair of this Corpse Cultivator.
“Senior Brother, did you already know?”
Seeing the calm expression on Ye Qing’s face, Yuan Zhen looked suddenly enlightened.
“Back at the Sky Meal Building, although there was no fight, I could approximately confirm it was Primordial True Qi,” Ye Qing nodded and said.
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Yuan Zhen spoke with some complaint, thinking back on the recent event, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
“I also wanted to see for myself the true strength of Sect Master Chen.”
Ye Qing’s statement caused Yuan Zhen to pause briefly, and then she remembered that dazzling Extreme Sun Slash.
She had to admit that there was indeed a gap between herself and Sect Master Chen in the Sword Dao Realm.
Even without the Primordial True Qi, she probably wouldn’t be his match.
“That mere Eastern Wasteland can actually produce such a remarkable cultivator!”
Yuan Zhen still found it somewhat hard to accept.
As a disciple of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she had been exposed to the best Cultivation Techniques and heritage from a young age, yet even so, she could only use a Rank-4 sword move by employing desperate Spells.
But Chen Mobai’s Extreme Sun Slash, which casually dispatched enemies, clearly resulted from his bitter cultivation, attaining a level of perfection.
“True Lord Yuan came from the Eastern Wasteland as well.”
With just a light sentence, Ye Qing shattered Yuan Zhen’s pride.
