Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1020: 509: Purging the Heavenly Corpse Sect
Chapter 1020: Chapter 509: Purging the Heavenly Corpse Sect
The edge of the world.
An ever-collapsing dark wasteland.
Chen Mu’s figure crossed the void, coming to rest above this wasteland, his gaze fixed on the flickering multicolored flame in the void.
Examining this flame carefully, one could sense the vast passage of time within it, as if it were a flame of life that had been burning for an unimaginably long time.
At this close distance, Chen Mu only slightly sensed it, yet he could feel the profound mysteries of time gathered within it. Without even looking, he knew the experience of the Time Path on the system panel was surely increasing.
“A Time Path Oddity…”
Chen Mu did not linger in fascination; he quickly came to his senses and took a light breath.
This world could not possibly birth such an Origin Dao Oddity, and according to that innate living being, this Fire of Time also came from beyond the heavens, obtained by it to even extend its life, surviving from the Primordial Era to now.
After a brief contemplation.
Chen Mu reached out with his hand, making a faint gesture, and brought the strand of Fire of Time before him.
This Fire of Time was indeed extraordinary; he could feel that even without the system panel, as long as he continuously comprehended this Fire of Time, he would eventually grasp the true meaning of the Time Path and forge a rudimentary form of it.
Of course.
With the system panel and this fire as his guide, his comprehension of the Time Path would be much faster, potentially even matching his progress in comprehending the Void Dao.
A Void Divine Weapon, a Time Wondrous Object, both were treasures from beyond this realm, yet no one had ever been able to truly utilize their potential.
Chen Mu did not attempt to store the strand of Fire of Time in the Qiankun Bottle since the previously broken Void Divine Weapon couldn’t be placed inside, almost causing the bottle to collapse. This Fire of Time, although not a Divine Weapon, contained the profound mysteries of time, seemingly no less than that Broken Sword, and if it damaged the Qiankun Bottle too much, he would have to search for a Cave Heaven Spirit Weapon, adding unnecessary trouble.
The previous innate living being had merged the flame directly into its body, but Chen Mu, being cautious, would not act so recklessly. He observed the Fire of Time in his palm. Suddenly, with a thought, a white thread silently appeared at his wrist.
Sizzle!
Just like that, his right hand detached from the wrist and separated from his body, with golden blood flowing from the cross-section but not dripping down.
Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged as he controlled the separated hand to grasp the Fire of Time and let it merge into his palm.
Sizzle.
The flickering multicolored flame instantly vanished into Chen Mu’s palm, merging into it, but it did not cause any changes.
Chen Mu could clearly see the strand of flame nestled inside his palm, yet strangely, it seemed to have no actual contact with his hand, as if it existed in a different time segment, unreachable by ordinary means.
“Indeed, anything involving the matters of time is profound and extraordinary.”
Chen Mu contemplated briefly upon seeing this.
After numerous probes and confirming that the Fire of Time posed no danger, he finally put it away, then descended to the ruins below, bowing towards where the innate living being had disappeared.
Though the other was an innate living being, unlike any race in the world, it had fought against the Demon Clan invaders for this realm, even passing a priceless Time Path Oddity to him, deserving every bit of his respect.
“Farewell, senior.”
After whispering a farewell, Chen Mu glanced at the world’s edge in the distance, seeing the same pitch-black and void as at the bottom of the Earthly Abyss and above the Heavens Vault.
He quickly turned back, not looking again, his figure flickering and disappearing at the dark, shattered edge of the world.
Beyond the Pass, Chen Mu had acquired a Void Divine Weapon and a Time Wondrous Object, putting him in a very good mood.
However, just as he crossed the wilderness, returning to Da Xuan’s border pass, he seemed to perceive something, his expression briefly pausing before a hint of frostiness flashed in his eyes.
“Goblins and spirits, might as well deal with them conveniently.”
…
In a certain area of the Beyond Pass wilderness.
The dark wilderness stretched forward, suddenly sinking downward, forming a valley spanning over ten miles.
The valley was desolate and silent, showing no peculiarities, as if nothing was present, but beneath it was a tumultuous mix of Evil Qi.
Within the Evil Qi.
Corpses lay scattered across the area.
All these corpses emitted a silver glow, many stained with a deep dark golden hue, each one a refined corpse, with some even beginning to inhale and exhale Evil Qi.
Such Corpse Refinement zones were numerous in this valley.
Earthly Profound Evil, gold, silver, copper, iron.
These are the eight realms of Corpse Refinement, with Heavenly Corpse almost rivaling a Blood Exchange Realm expert, yet extremely difficult to refine.
Suddenly.
A figure came first, followed by more than ten Evil Corpses shrouded in black mist, dragging numerous black cloth sacks filled with Evil Qi.
“Protector Yin, you’ve gathered another batch of fine materials.”
Along the way, a hunched figure spoke in a muffled voice.
“Where’s the fine material coming?”
Dragging a batch of corpses inside, the sinister Protector Yin snorted in response, full of resentment, “Since that incident last time, finding suitable materials has become increasingly difficult.”
“Indeed, especially after the emergence of that Martial Saint, subjugating the four seas under his authority, the Da Xuan Dynasty divided into nine regions, astonishingly at peace with no internal strife or chaos. Life has become increasingly difficult.”
