C438 If You Have the Help of a God
Amidst the haze, Lin Xuan stepped into the sky. His eyes sparkled like starlight, as if he had seen through the miasma. He turned into a divine rainbow and rushed towards the ancient corpse that was drifting in the blood lake, as if he had broken through the darkness.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Lin Xuan's swooshing sound startled the few ancient corpses that had gained consciousness. They stood up straight from the blood lake. The blue flames kept flickering in the eyes of the ancient corpses. Through the thick green miasma, they were reflected in front of Lin Xuan's eyes!
At this moment, even though Lin Xuan knew that he had alarmed the ancient corpses, he had nowhere to retreat. He could only brace himself and continue flying towards the ancient corpse with the Netherworld Grass!
However, those ancient corpses seemed to have completely awakened. They were actually able to walk through the blood lake as if they were walking on flat ground. They were now staring at Lin Xuan!
Even if a supreme expert died, if his body wasn't damaged, he would still be able to live in this world for many years. He would still be able to retain the combat strength he had when he was still alive!
Not to mention, in this strange place, their corpses already possessed intelligence. It was even more difficult to predict what kind of changes would occur.
In an instant, three figures appeared in front of Lin Xuan on the blood lake. They stood there quietly, staring at him with their empty eyes.
This strange scene caused Lin Xuan to feel a chill running down his spine. There was a kind of great terror in his heart!
However, Lin Xuan did not retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth, as if he was a brave man who was about to die. A dark glowing Black Gold Ancient Blade appeared in his hand, emitting an ancient and cold aura.
"Return to One!"
He shouted out loudly. The strongest move of the Transverse Saber Technique was slashed out by him!
The blade light howled, and the blood sea churned. A dark light that cut through the green miasma opened up a path for Lin Xuan to live, causing the three figures in front of him to retreat for a short period of time.
He did not stop, and only the Netherworld Grass was left in his eyes.
However, this short distance of a hundred steps was as far away as a galaxy to Lin Xuan!
In an instant, a figure that had disappeared from the blood ocean reappeared beside him. His body was covered in blood, and he was emitting an unpleasant stench.
His eyes were dim. This corpse seemed to have passed away for a thousand years, and it had long turned green. It was as if it was only skin and bones!
However, his throat was still moving, and it emitted a terrifying sound like a broken gong.
"Get lost!"
Lin Xuan roared furiously while his blade qi shot into the sky, and he slashed out once more with an extremely formidable force!
It was as if the saber had struck a divine metal. It shook Lin Xuan's arm until it became numb, and it produced a deafening sound!
The figure that had suddenly appeared did not have the time to attack. It was as if it had been pushed back by this tremendous force and fell into the blood lake!
"Putong!"
At this moment, Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with surprise, as if he didn't expect that the figure in front of him would sink into the lake so easily!
However, this was also an opportunity for him. He couldn't afford to miss it!
"I understand now. Although these ancient corpses are intelligent, they haven't given birth to their true consciousness. It's just that they have been corroded, causing some abnormal changes. They are relying on the instinct of their bodies to move!"
Lin Xuan seemed to have thought of something and spoke quietly. Such a guess had greatly reduced the pressure on him!
Fierce winds had already stirred up on the blood lake. Waves of tempestuous waves continuously struck, as if they were going to devour the heaven and earth. The blood sea overflowed, creating an extremely shocking scene!
The ancient corpse with the Netherworld Grass was also flying further and further away. Lin Xuan knew in his heart that the deeper he went, the more dangerous it would be!
The best outcome would be to retrieve the Netherworld Grass as soon as possible, and then leave in the shortest possible time!
The sudden change in the Blood Ocean seemed to have affected the heavens and earth. The originally dark red sky had completely fallen into darkness.
Night fell. The shrill cries of some strange birds came from all directions. Vaguely, these cries seemed to be mixed with some kind of strange sound that made one's heart beat faster!
Almost at the same time, the ancient corpses that appeared around Lin Xuan also seemed to have sensed something. They sank into the sea of blood, as if they were afraid of something.
Without the obstruction of the ancient corpses, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and seized this rare opportunity. He stepped on the Swimming Dragon Step Arts and used his extreme speed. Finally, he arrived in front of the ancient corpse with Netherworld Grass growing on its chest!
This glance caused Lin Xuan to be somewhat frightened!
The Ancient Corpse in front of him had been dead for an unknown number of years, but it still looked as if it was immortal and undecaying. Its body was still intact. He was wearing a worn-out Daoist robe. He had a handsome face and a thin figure, and his age didn't seem to be very old. He was like a youth.
The young man seemed to be asleep. If it wasn't for his cold body and the large hole on his chest where the Netherworld Grass was growing, Lin Xuan would have thought that he was a living person!
"How is this possible?"
Even if it was a Venerable, if he didn't have a special secret technique to preserve his corpse, even if he didn't turn into dust, his body would still wither. It was impossible for him to be as unharmed as the young man in front of him. His skin was as smooth as jade, and it also had some elasticity!
One had to know that even someone as strong as Venerable Dutian, after six thousand years, only his bones were left...
An ordinary Venerable's body wouldn't decay for a thousand years, and that was the limit!
The Daoist robe of this young man in front of him seemed to have left this era, and was incomparably ancient. He was at least a person from ten thousand years ago!
If it weren't for the fact that it was a refined robe, it would surely have decayed.
However, even if the scene in front of him was truly inconceivable, Lin Xuan didn't dare hesitate at all.
He waved his hand and plucked the dark red spirit grass, then threw it into the White Jade Heaven Earth Cauldron that he had long prepared. He used it to suppress the seal, fearing that something unexpected would happen to the Netherworld Grass!
After that, Lin Xuan did not think too much about it. He turned into a divine rainbow once again and cut through the green miasma that permeated the darkness. Without looking back, he rushed towards the shore!
However, not long after Lin Xuan left, the lifeless corpse of the young man who had his Netherworld Grass removed suddenly moved its white jade-like fingers...
In the next moment, the young man seemed to have come back to life. He opened his black and white eyes and looked somewhat confused.
The young man didn't move. He allowed the waves to sweep across and carried him into the depths of the blood lake.
Under the night sky, a resplendent divine rainbow passed through the dense green miasma, arriving at the lakeside, revealing Lin Xuan's true body.
At this time, the mixed sounds of the strange bird's strange cries became clearer and clearer, coming from the bottom of the blood lake. It sounded like the heartbeat of some kind of colossus.
"Putong, putong..."
That kind of dull feeling was as if the sky had collapsed, making Lin Xuan somewhat unable to breathe. His feet felt cold as he said in a low voice. "Let's go!"
Following that, Lin Xuan grabbed Shen Muqing's snow-white wrist. Light flashed under his feet, and a flawless white jade and sparkling divine jade platform appeared.
On the divine jade platform, golden divine patterns and ancient symbols interweaved. It was as if the laws of the void were stirred, and a passageway was opened.
Light flickered, and the two of them instantly disappeared from where they were standing. In an instant, they appeared in the mountain range several miles away.
Behind them, that terrifying heartbeat was like a clap of thunder, reverberating in the mountain valley, shaking the mountains and rivers, far away and boundless.
The world was completely silent, apart from that terrifying heartbeat sound, it was terrifyingly quiet.
Lin Xuan and the other man continued to travel. Along the way, it seemed like all dangers had been concealed. They were afraid of a mysterious existence that was gradually awakening within the sea of blood, and didn't dare to make any noise.
Such an unforeseen event was like a god's help to Lin Xuan. In just a few breaths' time, he had left the central region of Fallen Demon Ridge and flew towards the outer region!
