Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1121: Corpse Pit
Chapter 1121: Corpse Pit
The vessel traveled in endless darkness toward the unknown. Suddenly, a blinding expanse illuminated the area in front of them.
Feng Feiyun stopped cultivating and stood up, sensing spirit energies pouring down from above.
“Is this the entrance?” He became excited since he sensed spirit energy, meaning that this could be a way back to the mortal realm.
“No, that’s just a hole, it might be too dangerous outside. I’ve been here before and thought the same thing, when I came out of one, unknown creatures nearly killed me.” The turtle said with dread.
“This is where I fell down from, it’s a dangerous location in Myriad Battlefield. If we come out and they find us, we’re finished.” Ximen Chuixiao said.
Feiyun looked up and saw different auras outside. They were frightening enough.
“Boom!” Two figures fell from the hole and continued fighting.
“Si Lanqing, do you think running to this bizarre place is enough to get away from me? I will cut you to pieces today!” A monarch from the flying serpent race used a double-edged blade, cutting off his foe’s head.
“Never!” The member of the snow tree race was still alive despite being decapitated.
The serpent monarch laughed and turned into a winged serpent, swallowing the head completely.
“Crunch!” The head issued terrible screams before coming to complete silence.
The group on the vessel witnessed the ending of the fight.
“A demon monarch… we should run…” Ximen Chuixiao staggered backward in fear.
“It’s too late, we’re spotted. Get ready to fight.” Feiyun said.
The monarch turned back to humanoid form and flew toward the vessel. He floated above and spoke with disdain: “Two puny humans, I see. Leave this ship and I will not desecrate your corpses.”
He could see that this was a supreme treasure at first glance.
“I didn’t expect to see a treasure of this level in a corpse pit. Looks like the heaven loves me.” He laughed heartily.
Ximen Chuixiao was horrified and hid with the others.
“A corpse pit.” Feiyun murmured.
Since there were countless deaths each day on the battlefield, the corpses had to be dealt with. The solutions were corpse pits for abandoned remains.
Portals were opened to dangerous areas and corpses would be thrown inside en masse. The dangers and natural disasters there would take care of them automatically.
“So that’s why there were so many zombies when I came out.” The turtle murmured.
The monarch saw Feiyun’s nonchalant expression and became furious. He released black miasma and said: “Seems like I have to take it myself.”
He turned back into the winged serpent with a long tongue.
“Whoosh!” There was a lightning rune on his forehead. Lightning arcs pulsed outward and turned it into a lighting ball.
Feiyun looked up and said: “Leave, I don’t want to kill you.”
The monarch couldn’t believe this little human.
“Human, you will be responsible for your foolish choice of words!” The serpent released a monstrous aura, enough to frighten regular paragons.
“I am only responsible toward women.” Feiyun joked.
“Hmph.” The serpent became redder before unleashing a fiery inferno.
“You’re asking for it. Phoenix Incineration!” Feiyun raised one hand and turned it into a phoenix claw with fiery scales.
He used it like a blade and ripped off the flesh of the dragon while the inferno couldn’t hurt one hair of his.
“Raa!” The serpent bellowed in agony; blood streamed down the wound on its back like a waterfall.
“Brother Feng is actually so strong?! He’s fighting against a demon monarch, the dynasties will go crazy after finding this out!” Ximen Xiaochui couldn’t believe it.
“Just a weak demon monarch, not worth mentioning.” The turtle said.
“Let me!” The blood dragon stared at the blood gushing out and licked his lips.
It turned into a dragon a dozen times larger than the winged serpent. The latter became frightened right away and murmured: “An immemorial sacred demon…”
It wanted to run but was swallowed by the dragon in the blink of an eye.
“Hahaha! Humans, see that? Other demons are nothing compared to us immemorial demons!” The dragon started gloating again.
The fruit paused for a moment before responding: “Winged serpents are extremely poisonous, especially at the monarch level. I don’t think they’re meant for… consumption…”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?! Fuck, my stomach…” The dragon became small again and ran toward a corner of the ship. Its howl was worse than that of a pig being butchered.
Feiyun shook his head disapprovingly after seeing the gluttonous display. Fortunately, these dragons had a tough stomach so they would only get diarrhea. Anything else might be dead after consuming the poisonous creatures.
He looked forward and saw corpses raining down from the hole. Every once in a while, living cultivators would come down as well but they were refined to death by the blood torrent.
“This won’t be easy.” Feiyun put away the vessel and grew a pair of wings.
The ship was too large and could be spotted by those above. It would be problematic to meet a cultivator near the saint level.
The others followed right behind him, crossing through the ocean of corpses. Occasionally, a powerful soul would attack them but Feiyun easily dealt with this issue by using his ghost bottle.
“Brother Ximen, why don’t you return to the battlefield instead of following us?” Feiyun remained cautious of this youth.
Did the guy purposely jump into a corpse pit or did someone push him down? What was his goal? Did he know that this was the Path of Reincarnation?
“I’m too weak to return there, don’t you know its nickname, the grave of masters? I think it’s better if I follow you, I feel like our meeting is somehow fateful.” He said.
“Then you best be careful, this path might be more dangerous than the battlefield.” Feiyun held the ghost bottle in one hand and his weapon essence in the other.
He destroyed a mountain of corpses to reveal an ashy path with numerous tablets. Each was as large as a cliff and had a chilling aura.
They were all over the palace - some were pinned to the ground, others were on top of mountains. Some were floating as well.
Eventually, they came across a tablet in front of a bloody marsh. There were Buddhist characters engraved on the tablet - Yama’s Rest.
