"Found it,"
Mo Nian called out.
The two followed the route taken by the ghost ship, retraced their steps, and weaved through the endless Devouring Sky Black Armored Army, killing countless enemies along the way. Finally, an hour later, they made a discovery.
This place was scorched earth, and the air was still filled with a terrifying pressure. The surrounding Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army dared not approach.
"There's the aura of flames, it's from Fairy Dan, and there's also the power of gold—this is Zhao Ritian's. The pressure in the air and the fluctuations of soul power linger for a long time—this is Feng Fei's aura."
This trench must have been carved out by the Night Nether Serrated Sword, filled with the aura of death and decay.
There were also some attacks, whose ones were unknown and impossible to determine, but one thing was certain: they weren't Yun Tian's.
So many people are besieging Yun Tian at the same time—what exactly are they trying to do? Is becoming emperor really that important? More important than the safety of the Tianwu Continent? They all forgot that without the Great Emperor, the Tianwu Continent would have long since fallen, and these people would have died long ago. Long Chen gripped a handful of black earth, his fists clenched tightly, murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Although Yun Tian hadn't revealed his identity, his aura already spoke for itself.
Meanwhile, Feng Fei, Zhao Ritian, and others joined forces to attack Yuntian, clearly aiming to seize the qualification to become emperor. They believed that with Yuntian present, none of them could ascend to the throne, so they prioritized eliminating him.
Long Chen never considered becoming emperor; he only hoped to live well. Whoever could lead the Tianwu Continent to peace, he would rather be his vanguard.
But Zhao Ritian, Feng Fei, and the others had long forgotten the emperor's favor and joined forces to hunt down the emperor's descendants, which made Long Chen furious and murderous intent explode.
"Perhaps what they wanted was not peace; in their eyes, only the Emperor was truly important.
Throughout history, countless people have died in battle, but in reality, compared to those unarmed civilians, they are just a drop in the ocean.
Greed is an original sin; for a goal, one can stop at nothing and disregard others' lives.
Zhao Ritian and Feng Fei are such people. Perhaps their mindset is the same as that of the divine race. They want to dominate the world, even if this world is one ravaged by war and ravaged by devastation. Mo Nian sighed.
Mo Nian patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, both you and I are people without great ambition. We never thought about trampling anyone underfoot, but now you see it yourself."
If you don't want to compete, others will kill you; you want to protect only those around you, but others refuse to let you get your way.
Now the Tianwu Continent is in complete chaos. The Divine Clan's attitude is ambiguous, but sooner or later they will show their fangs.
I don't believe they are so kind-hearted, quietly contributing to the peace of the Tianwu Continent. The divine race has its own glorious history, claiming they once assisted emperors in battle.
However, there is no historical record, and even the great emperors of the past have never made any evaluations of the divine race.
This matter has always been a mystery. The Protoss have always been like leopards lurking in the shadows; once the time is right, they pounce and bite their prey to death. Mo
Nian had never had much fondness for the Divine Clan, but Long Chen maintained a cooperative relationship with the Long family, and there were some things he had never said.
Now Mo Nian finally couldn't hold back. Zhao Ritian and Feng Fei had not hesitated to deal with Yun Tian. There must be some secret behind this.
"I understand. Let's go, keep chasing."
Long Chen said.
"Have you made up your mind?" If Yuntian were besieged, could you really go all out? Mo Nian reminded him.
"I've made up my mind. Even when facing Yu Qingxuan, I won't show mercy. An enemy is an enemy. Talking emotionally to an enemy is foolish." Long Chen took a deep breath and said.
"That's good." Mo Nian nodded. With Long Chen saying that, he felt relieved. Otherwise, even if the two caught up, Long Chen would be bound by Yu Qingxuan, which would be suicide.
The two sped along the trail, and Mo Nian suddenly said, "How strange, how can these marks be so strange? Yun Tian was beaten and hasn't fought back?" "
Judging from the battle marks, there were few signs of Yun Tian counterattacking; it seemed Yun Tian had been suppressed all along.
"There's blood."
Long Chen suddenly stopped. On the ground, he saw a drop of blood. He picked up the bloodstain and said, "
It carries a dark aura—it's Ye Shang's blood."
Ye Shang possessed dark power, and his blood aura was very easy to discern.
"That's strange. So Yun Tian is under siege, but he's staring at Ye Shang. Why is that?" Mo Nian couldn't understand.
You have to understand, Yun Tian is being besieged by four powerful figures, so logically, he should have broken out and left. Those four are all peerless prodigies; if they can't win, it's normal to leave.
"Ye Ming must have some kind of scheme, so Yuntian has a reason to kill Ye Ming.
It seemed that it wasn't the four of them attacking Yun Tian, but Yun Tian chasing Ye Ming, while the other three came to help.
Ye Ming fought while fleeing, which is why the battle traces here are so strange. Long Chen said.
"No way, that Yuntian is really that strong?" Mo Nian clicked his tongue in amazement. This was just too terrifying.
Long Chen's heart stirred. Yun Tian's combat power was indeed terrifying, but being attacked by three people combined to still chase down Ye Ming was truly astonishing.
"This might be related to the Dragon King's essence blood and Emperor Yun Shang."
Long Chen thought of a key point: the Dragon King's essence blood was left to Yun Tian by Emperor Yun Shang, and the other path on the ghost ship was also reserved for him. Yun Tian should have his own opportunity.
The two chatted as they sped forward, following the trail, but as they chased, something started to feel off.
Unconsciously, the sky grew darker and darker, the void began to twist widely, and the air was filled with endless decay and the scent of death.
"This place seems like a cemetery. I know this smell well." Mo Nian touched her nose, a bit surprised and uncertain, but looking at the tracks on the ground, it seemed the two hadn't chased the wrong person.
"Boom boom boom...
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet exploded, and dark monsters crawled out from underground. They resembled spiders, had eight long legs, but extremely sharp mouthparts like mosquitoes, and their bodies were as big as calves.
"Wow, this is the Corpse-Eating Armored Spider. How did it grow so big?" Mo Nian was startled; he recognized these monsters.
As an archaeological expert, he often dug up graves and knew the creatures inside them better than anyone.
The Corpse-Eating Armored Spider is one of the most terrifying creatures in the tombs, feeding on the fluids inside the corpses.
Moreover, this carcass-eating armored spider specializes in feeding on the corpses of powerful creatures, which ordinary corpses don't care about.
The corpse of a normal cultivator is very difficult to decompose; it usually takes several hundred, or even a thousand years, to decay.
When a corpse decomposes, the flesh and blood inside undergo a qualitative change and merge with the blood, turning into pus and blood. This pus and blood is highly toxic, but for the corpse-eating armored spider, it is their survival dependent.
The Corpse-Eating Armored Spider possesses terrifying mouthparts that act like drills, easily breaking through formation barriers, piercing stone coffins, and sucking corpses inside.
Therefore, the cemeteries of some prestigious families are often guarded to prevent the corpse-eating armored spider from entering.
Because once the carcasses enter, they not only suck the corpse but also lay eggs on it, eventually consuming all the bones of their ancestors.
Mo Nian was no stranger to the Corpse-Eating Armored Spider. He was startled because the spiders he had seen before were only palm-sized, and he had never seen anything this large.
"Be careful, if you get bitten by this thing, it's deadly, and they spray poison."
"Pfft!"
Just as Mo Nian finished shouting, a corpse-eating armored spider lunged at him, but was struck in the head by an arrow. Mo Nian's arrow was stuck in its head without piercing.
Moreover, when Mo Nian's arrow pierced the corpse-eating armored spider's head, sparks flew. Its head was exceptionally hard, as if forged from iron.
You have to know, Mo Nian's arrow can pierce rocky mountains, but when facing this corpse-eating armored spider, he can't pierce its head.
"Why is this thing so terrifying?" Long Chen and Mo Nian shouted at the same time.
After shouting, Mo Nian sensed something was off, as if Long Chen was asking him. Mo Nian shouted, "
The corpse-eating armored spider I saw before was only the size of a fist. Compared to this, it's practically from the grandson's generation."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Mo Nian killed the corpse-eating armored spider. All the spiders surged toward the two of them, leaping wildly in the air, their sharp mouthparts gleaming coldly, terrifying just to look at.
"Clang, clang... Mo
Nian plucked the bowstring, divine light surging and forming surging waves that knocked the corpse-eating armored spiders away, opening a space within a hundred miles and giving the two a place to stand.
"When did you learn to play the piano?" Long Chen was stunned—Mo Nian could actually pull out a single thread.
"I don't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy, or painting in Mo Nian. Damn, let's not talk about that. Find a way to get rid of these corpse-eating armored spiders. Mo Nian said angrily.
"You're an expert at this thing. If you want to come up with a solution, it's your own idea." Long Chen directly tossed the question to Mo Nian.
While plucking the bowstring, Mo Nian shouted loudly, "This creature's mouth is highly poisonous, its body protected like armor, its vitality extremely tenacious, containing both a crystal core and an inner core. If one of them is destroyed, it won't die immediately. To completely kill them, we need to crush them completely. They're extremely troublesome."
This thing isn't a magical beast, nor a demon beast. I don't know which category it belongs to, but that's all I know, so I'll leave it to you. "
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
To their shock, the number of corpse-eating armored spiders around them kept increasing, and no one knew where they came from—it was simply endless.
"Puff puff puff"
Long Chen slashed out, but only a dozen or so corpse-eating armored spiders were slain along the line; the rest were all sent flying, unable to be killed.
These corpse-eating armored spiders have special armor that can withstand some of their power. Moreover, they are small and vulnerable, and a single strike feels like cutting through a pile of cotton. The feeling of power being unused is extremely uncomfortable.
"Damn it, this must be Ye Ming's way to stop us, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."
"Buzz!"
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands, flames surging, and in an instant, he swallowed the world.
"Blazing Flames Burn the Heavens"
