Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 666: Chapter 607: Upheaval and Gains (Combined Chapter)

Dodging left and right in the confined cage, he ensured the black ropes never touched his body.

As it was none of their business, the cultivators transported to the Abyss around him watched the spectacle with relish.

“Dafeng Kingdom, one of the strongest nations in the Northern Border, it’s said that its royal family has produced more than one Nascent Soul True Monarch, showcasing deep heritage, not much weaker than the Five Elements Sect!”

“The Dafeng Kingdom’s royal family is renowned across the land for their wind-based magic techniques.

It’s rumored that upon reaching advanced levels, they can transform into profound and mysterious space magic, rarely beaten by those of the same rank!”

“Ah, can’t help but envy them. Look at their flight technique, dubbed the Wings of the Void, which is far superior to our Wind Control Spell.

It’s said to be bloodline-related, only the royal family of Dafeng Kingdom can use it.

It’s rumored that their royal ancestor was a direct descendant of an ancient predecessor skilled in wind practice, successfully activating the bloodline, and restoring some of the ancestor’s divine skills…”

Listening to the discussions around him, Lou Yi understood that Dafeng Kingdom was a more formidable sect in this realm, perhaps surpassing the combined might of the northern domain’s four sects.

However, he had no familiarity with the young male cultivator being surrounded, and had no intention to intervene, merely watching like the others.

Within the black cage space, a male cultivator named ’He Shuli,’ relying on the powerful Wings of the Void magic, was struggling to dodge the ropes’ entanglement and other spells, with multiple wounds appearing on his body, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

Yet for some reason, he refrained from fighting back, seemingly reluctant to act before the Abyss.

“We can’t delay, quickly take him down!” Said the female cultivator among the four encircling him, seemingly their leader.

A fierce expression appeared on her face as her Spiritual Essence began to boil, evidently preparing to unleash a major attack.

Unexpectedly, a visible wave emerged in the gray mist near the Abyss entrance, followed by a voice filled with authority.

“Who dares act, disrespecting the Heaven Monument?”

The voice carried immense anger, altering the expressions of the four attacking the young male cultivator, hurriedly accelerating their actions.

“You dare!”

Subsequently, a sharp white light pierced through the sky.

Like white lightning, it flew towards their location with a ’whoosh.’

“Ah!”

Four screams erupted almost simultaneously.

Three of the four attacking the young male cultivator were directly sliced in half at the waist.

The remaining middle-aged female cultivator barely escaped, but lost an arm, with blood ’puffing’ out from the wound.

“How dare you offend our Dafeng Kingdom!” Her gaze was venomous, eyes full of disbelief.

“There are laws in the Abyss, no matter how strong your Dafeng Kingdom is, you must comply,” said a man emerging from the thick gray mist, wearing a rustic copper mask.

His feet tread upon the void, seemingly slower but faster, each step spanning hundreds of feet.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear his ability to walk in the void was due to a pair of black Heaven-reaching Boots beneath his feet, emitting a faint magical light, clearly a rare flying magical artifact in footwear form.

“Moreover, are you even worthy to represent Dafeng Kingdom as a mere servant?” the man in the copper mask said dismissively.

His fierce gaze fell upon the middle-aged female cultivator, seemingly ready to attack further.

’Escape!’

Only this thought filled the middle-aged female cultivator’s mind, without any desire to contest him.

A flush of red surged on her face as her Spiritual Essence began operating at ten times the normal speed.

Simultaneously, the pair of azure energy wings that sprouted from her back instantly grew larger, flapping at a noticeably faster rate than before.

’Whoosh!’

With a flap of the wings, she soared through the air like a great bird, frantically fleeing towards the nearby hemispheric stone house.

Meanwhile, her voice filled with hatred echoed: “I’ll report you to the Holy Emperor and have him punish you with death!”

“Foolish obstinacy,” the man in the copper mask coldly chuckled.

Without any visible movement, resonant tones emanated from deep within his body.

“Buzz…”

“Oom…”

“Boom…”

This caused the middle-aged female cultivator escaping through the air to suddenly freeze.

Subsequently, a five-layered glazed tower emitting dazzling light rose above the head of the man in the copper mask.

Like tangible form, it rapidly flew out like a real magic treasure and fell upon the middle-aged female cultivator’s head, descending like a mountain.

The middle-aged female cultivator couldn’t even let out a scream before being crushed into a puddle of bloody flesh, dead beyond resurrection!

“One layer stabilizes the Dao foundation. The second layer channels Dao sound. The third layer forms the heart lamp. The fourth layer condenses the true shape…”

The Spirit Platform of Lord Trench Patrol can be used as a magic treasure, its power considerably stronger than top-grade spiritual artifacts…

“Worthy indeed as Trench Patrol Guest, a master of the fifth layer of the Spirit Platform. Even facing heavenly tribulations now, he notably has some hope of success.”

“The levels of the Spirit Platform can be concealed.”

This Trench Patrol Guest’s cultivation is at least the fifth level of the Spirit Platform, perhaps even higher!”

Witnessing the four cultivators above the Perfect Dao Foundation being slain in two breaths, everyone’s gaze towards the man in the copper mask was full of admiration and respect.

“Trench Patrol Guest.” He Shuli, the male cultivator who was just encircled, respectfully saluted the masked man.

“You did well, not acting before the Heaven Monument, otherwise, I wouldn’t have spared you just now,” the masked man said lightly, causing He Shuli’s pupils to contract sharply.

“Trench Patrol Guest.”

“Greetings, Trench Patrol Guest!”

Everyone at the scene greeted the masked man, even the demons in the distance were no exception.

In the cultivation realm, the strong are always revered, regardless of being human or demon.

Lou Yi noticed the copper mask worn by the Trench Patrol Guest had a faint dragon pattern etched on the right cheek.

His ears only heard this man’s commanding voice continuously:

“This is the Abyss, remember, no fighting in private.

If caught, regardless of your background, your fate will be like those just now.”

“You come to the Abyss to continually clear demons; the more you clear, the more contributions you make to this world, and the more fortunes will prosper, making it easier to find Heaven and Earth Wonders…”

“Those above the third layer of the Spirit Platform and those who have visited the Abyss before, stand to the right.

Others hold your ground here, shortly someone will come to guide you.”

After the Trench Patrol Guest finished speaking, a small portion of people stepped out, moving to the area on the right.

They were quickly taken away by the Trench Patrol Guest, disappearing into the large gray mist.

The rest, however, did not move about recklessly, many still savoring the scene of the Trench Patrol Guest’s earlier moves.

“Really impressive, when will I reach this level!”

“Indeed, there are twenty-eight divisions on the first layer of the Abyss, each with only one Trench Patrol Guest.

In the Abyss, they are second to none, like the Supreme Emperor!”

“That Dafeng Kingdom female cultivator even tried to threaten the Trench Patrol Guest?

I think she was drunk, no Trench Patrol Guest lacks a profound background!”

Listening to the discussions, Lou Yi’s mind concentrated on the corpses of the four who just died.

’Available items for retrieval, choose one item:

Energy: seven hundred and thirty-five points

Wind affinity slightly increased

Magic: Wind Blade Technique

To select?’

After some thought, Lou Yi chose energy.

He truly lacked this resource currently, uncertain how easy it would be to acquire in the Abyss later.

As for the other two corpses, he similarly chose energy.

But upon reaching the middle-aged female cultivator’s pool of flesh, Lou Yi’s expression shifted.

’Available items for retrieval, choose one item:

Energy: eight hundred and twenty-nine points

Wind affinity slightly increased

Innate skill: Wings of the Void

To select?’

’A new innate skill appeared this quickly.

It’s besides divination, the second skill extracted from humans.’ ’

’The Abyss indeed is a good place.’

Lou Yi immediately realized.

The Abyss gathered masters, their corpses post-death differed from ordinary cultivators or demons.

Not only did the generated energy surpass usual, the quality of the retrievable items was higher. High risk, high reward.
