Chapter 737: Chapter 438 If You Want to Live, Take This Pill_2

“Damn it, if I can’t escape, neither can you!”

Compared to the babbling Xian Kong Ancestor, Yama remained silent. A giant tentacle, resembling a huge python, lashed out like lightning. At its end, the Flying Sky Netherworld King suddenly opened its eyes, shooting two beams of blood-red light from them.

Even though Yama’s attack was so sudden, it was still a step too late. Before the light beams reached him, Zhao Sheng had already vanished into thin air from in front of the three men.

Ou Feng’s face was full of shock, his gaze somewhat vacant.

Among the five companions, only he and the Nine-Life Ghost King had been kept in the dark from start to finish, utterly unaware of the conspiracy behind them.

Yama, Xian Kong, and others conspired to kill the Tianqiong Wanderer, but little did they know that Zhao Sheng was also plotting against them.

Facing a mysterious Great Array that could easily move the Seven Star Spirit Realm, how could Yama, Xian Kong, and Ou Feng, mere cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm, possibly break through the Formation Barrier and escape from this Dead Land?

“Tianqiong, if this old man catches you, I will make sure to cut you into a thousand pieces and burn your soul for a thousand years!” Xian Kong Ancestor was in a crazed frenzy, his face contorted with anger.

Boom!

However, at that moment, the “Dark Star” below suddenly exploded with a vast amount of earth and rocks. The ground violently split open, forming a huge hole from which thick Crystal Silks swarmed out like living creatures, intertwining and ceaselessly extending towards the sky, some reaching thousands of feet in length.

Immediately after, one Crystal Corpse after another, all looking ferocious, rode the Crystal Silks out of the hole and shot up into the sky, rushing towards Yama and the others with terrifying pressure.

The one flying at the front was a giant Fierce Beast with double horns and green eyes, scales on its limbs, and covered with a silver-white armor shell—the Domineering Armored Bull Dragon that had once wreaked havoc a thousand years ago.

Xian Kong Ancestor was so frightened that he trembled all over, and without the slightest hesitation, he summoned the phantom of a giant rat and fled in an instant.

Ou Feng, upon seeing one impressive Crystal Corpse after another, was equally shocked.

Seeing Xian Kong fleeing without a word, he didn’t dare to hesitate. Fu Xi’s Ten Thousand Talisman Robe suddenly shone with a layer of clear light.

In the blink of an eye, the clear light flashed and disappeared, and Ou Feng was nowhere to be found.

“Damn it, I can’t control it anymore!”

At this moment, Yama Ancestor suddenly let out a furious bellow. His hundred-foot True Body shook violently as waves of immense Magic Power Mysterious Light burst forth, rapidly expanding in all directions.

Yama’s eyes turned blood-red in an instant, and with a slippery motion, they retracted back into his True Body.

The next moment, the Great Grandmaster of the Corpse Mushroom Clan began to crazily lash out with his tentacles, colliding head-on with the Domineering Armored Bull Dragon, and then engaged in a desperate brawl.

The Demon Tooth Mushroom Mother had also lost her mind in this way many years ago. Although Yama Ancestor was at the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he didn’t last long either.

On some level, the Void Devil Fungus could be considered the bane of the Corpse Mushroom Clan.

Of course, ordinary Void Devil Fungus wasn’t so powerful that it could drive a Nascent Soul Realm expert of the Corpse Mushroom Clan mad.

But, as it happened, the strain of Void Devil Fungus parasitizing the Dark Star came from the third layer of the Void Realm, and was, in terms of rank, one of the ancestor species of the Devil Mushroom.

The battle had just started, and Yama was instantly in a situation of being besieged.

A multitude of Crystal Corpses swarmed up and, driven by the Devil Mushrooms, together tore and pounced on Yama’s True Body.

The Black Light Magic Domain was torn apart, and the zombies were easily shredded into pieces by the Crystal Corpses. Only the five Flying Sky Netherworld Kings had the strength to fight back.

But there were too many Crystal Corpses, each one incredibly strong, and even though they only acted on instinct, they were not to be underestimated.

In just a few breaths, Yama was immediately put at a disadvantage. Many tentacles were bitten off and torn apart, his body covered with wounds, green blood flowed everywhere,

After being repeatedly hit with severe blows, Yama finally regained a trace of sanity.

Seeing himself in a desperate situation, Yama was filled with terror and despair.

Taking advantage of the sliver of sanity he had, he made the wisest choice.

In an instant, a nine-inch tall, green-black Nascent Soul shot out from the spiky sea urchin-shaped head of his massive body.

The Nascent Soul, face filled with fear, holding a small black altar in his arms, dashed into the body of a two-meter tall, dark-as-iron Corpse King.

The Corpse King let out a long roar towards the heavens, its body bursting with swathes of black light. Numerous giant black sabers suddenly materialized out of thin air and slashed in all directions, creating a roaring windstorm.

Whoosh!

The Corpse King instantly transformed into a black Saber Rainbow, like a bolt of lightning, breaking through the siege and desperately fleeing towards the edge of the Colorful Nebula.

Although Daoist Ou Feng was a master of concealment, it was a pity that he used the wrong target.

Cultivators use Spiritual Energy as their foundation, and the Void Devil Fungus happens to feed on Spiritual Energy, particularly preferring to infest the bodies of living beings.

The more actively Ou Feng wielded his mana, the more intensely the Devil Mushrooms sensed his location.

Xian Kong and Yama Ancestor were in a similar predicament.

The more they resisted, the more they had to draw on the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy to replenish their depleted mana.

This meant that a great quantity of fungus, along with the Spiritual Energy, poured into the bodies of the three, leading to an ever-accelerating rate of crystallization, trapping them in a spiral of despair.

Yama Ancestor, with his strongest power and having discarded his flesh, was the first to sense the abnormality within himself.

By then, his Nascent Soul was clearly studded with dense crystal grains, and even with his Divine Thought, they continued to grow back ceaselessly.

After shattering more than a dozen Crystal Corpses, a sudden inexplicable weakness welled up from deep within Yama’s Divine Soul, filling him with despair.

Compared to him, the condition of Xian Kong Ancestor, who possessed the “Xian Kong” Divine Skill, was slightly better; he was always able to dodge the attacks of the Crystal Corpses in time, fleeing in all directions.

Once Daoist Ou Feng realized the futility of his concealment method, he immediately changed his approach.

In an instant, he set up several Illusion Arrays and obscured his energy, momentarily confusing the Crystal Corpses and carving out a breather for himself.

At that time, trapped by the Great Array, the three could not escape the confines of the spiritual realm’s space.

They were like three pitiable insects in a cage, desperately fleeing from the pursuit of the Crystal Corpses, at risk of grave injury at the slightest misstep.

Fortunately, these Crystal Corpses retained only basic instincts, and the Void Devil Fungus was extremely low in spiritual intelligence, incapable of unleashing the full strength of the Crystal Corpses.

Otherwise, the three would have been dead without a place to be buried long ago!

At this moment, in the Void outside of the Star Nebula, Zhao Sheng, shrouded in his Cosmic Stone Armor, watched the chaotic scenes below with deep and tranquil eyes.

After more than half an hour, Yama Ancestor was the first to falter; one-third of his Nascent Soul had turned into Crystal Clusters, his Divine Thought was operating sluggishly, and his consciousness kept getting lost.

Caught off-guard, the Corpse King was chased down by two humanoid Crystal Corpses from front and back, held tightly around the waist as their whole bodies shone brightly, relentlessly eroding the Corpse King’s Stiff Body.

“This is the moment!”

Zhao Sheng watched this scene and, with a thought, his figure abruptly vanished into nothingness.

Above the Dark Star, Zhao Sheng appeared out of nowhere.

With a sweep of his long sleeves, a series of High-level Talismans shot out, exploding in succession, transforming into a vast Fire Sea, thousands of Golden Giant Swords, rolling Dragon Tornadoes… and various other powerful Divine Communication Skills, attacking the myriad Crystal Corpses in the sky.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng launched a Hundred-Mile Rainbow Talisman, instantly dashing away in a rainbow, covering a hundred miles in a blink.

Triple rainbows streaked through the Void, and in just the blink of an eye, he drew near to Yama Ancestor by a hundred miles.

“Yama, if you want to live, take this pill!”

The words carried a thread of Divine Thought, piercing into the other’s mind.

Yama Ancestor suddenly awoke from his confusion, an image he loathed enough to gnash his teeth into ash immediately surfacing in his Divine Thought.

At the same time, a jade-white pill bottle also “reflected in his heart.”

“Tianqiong!” Yama hissed venomously, flames of rage bursting in his heart, his fangs nearly shattering in anger.

Th𝚤ṡ ₡h𝓪p𝑡𝓮r 𝕀𝕤 p𝐨𝐬𝙩ꬲđ bყ 𝐾𝘪𝓉𝗲пՕ𝕧ҽ𝗹

Zhao Sheng gave him a slight smile, waved his hand, and once again vanished into thin air.

Yama Ancestor, being a formidable figure, saw a glimmer of hope and didn’t hesitate to transform into a dark Saber Rainbow, racing towards the pill bottle a hundred miles away.

Shortly after, he snatched the pill bottle and, without looking, immediately threw it into his mouth, crushing it a few times with his fangs and then swallowing it, fragments and all.

In the blink of an eye, a massive and bizarre cold surge viciously spread from his stomach to his limbs.

The greatest surge flowed upward, rushing into the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows, and fell upon the Nascent Soul, covered with crystal grains.

As the cold surge washed over, a large number of grains fell off instantly, and Yama felt his spirit refreshed, his Divine Thought operating more than thirty percent smoother than before.

Even more exhilarating for him was the significantly reduced activity of the crystal grains, slowing their encroachment greatly.
