Chapter 4240: Formidable Enemy

Ye Haitang flew out from the black ominous aura. With a single-hand gesture, the black bell flew to her and landed in her hand.

"Fairy Ye, the Corpse Control Secret Art is mine, and everything else is yours. How about that?" Fang Mu said, taking out a black talisman and sticking it onto the Nascent Soul, then throwing the Nascent Soul to Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang performed soul-searching on it, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

The black-robed elder was named Xiang Hao, and he was obsessed with the art of refining corpses. In his early years, he entered the Myriad Immortal Continent to search for treasures. He became trapped by a certain restriction and unexpectedly obtained a secret corpse-controlling technique, the "Nine Revolutions Corpse Control Art," which allowed refined corpses to perform combined attacks. This was an important inheritance of the Underworld Corpse Sect.

The black bell was a Corpse-Controlling Bell, used for controlling corpses. With this treasure, controlling even numerous refined corpses was not an issue; however, the more refined corpses controlled, the more immortal power was consumed to activate the Corpse-Controlling Bell.

The Nine Revolutions Corpse Control Art could fuse up to nine types of laws, somewhat similar to the Marrow Fusion Art. The difference was that it required nine refined corpses to perform simultaneously, and these refined corpses all needed to have opened their spiritual intelligence and comprehended the power of laws to achieve it.

Ye Haitang readily agreed. The black-robed elder had killed many treasure hunters and plundered a large number of Yin-attributed immortal medicines, including at least a hundred immortal medicines over ten million years old.

"Help me trap those refined corpses so I can refine the Corpse-Controlling Bell," Ye Haitang said.

Fang Mu nodded, conjured a small tower that glowed with black light, which instantly grew larger and floated above the black ominous aura.

Ye Haitang performed a hand seal, and the black ominous aura dissipated, revealing over thirty Golden Immortal-stage refined corpses that had merely been trapped by Ye Haitang using a large formation.

The massive black pagoda emitted a black glow, enveloping these refined corpses and sweeping them into the black pagoda.

Ye Haitang sat down cross-legged and began refining the Corpse-Controlling Bell, while Wang Yidao protected her.

After refining the Corpse-Controlling Bell, Ye Haitang had Fang Mu release the refined corpses.

The refined corpses' eyes glowed with fierce light as they lunged at Ye Haitang.

Ye Haitang activated the Corpse-Controlling Bell, and the refined corpses immediately became docile and stopped.

Ye Haitang tossed the Corpse-Controlling Bell into the air in front of her and injected a magical incantation.

A loud bell rang out, and numerous dark figures appeared in the distance. A large number of refined corpses, ranging from Mahayana to True Immortal stages and numbering in the thousands, flew from afar.

These refined corpses were no match for Golden Immortal cultivators, which was why the black-robed elder had not controlled them to fight.

Ye Haitang collected all the refined corpses. She could activate the Corpse-Controlling Bell to have the Golden Immortal-stage refined corpses perform combined attacks against enemies, and she would not feel distressed even if all of them were killed.

The cultivation resources in this area had long been plundered by the black-robed elder and stored in his storage bracelet; all of them now belonged to Ye Haitang. They then left this place and headed elsewhere.

In a continuous expanse of verdant mountains, a deafening roar echoed from deep within the range. A massive golden light shot skyward, and the ground shook violently.

A blood-red, sky-piercing saber light flew out from deep within the mountains. Wherever it passed, the ground tore open, revealing a massive chasm, mountains shattered, and countless plants and trees turned into debris.

Chen Yueying flew out from underground, wearing a mid-grade Chaos Armor, her expression one of panic. They had encountered a Golden Immortal cultivator with perfected Laws, and Lan Fukong's physical body had been destroyed.

The sky-piercing saber light swept towards her. Chen Yueying was about to evade when a rapid sound of a pipa rang out, causing her body to tremble and a sharp pain to strike her soul.

By the time she regained her senses, the sky-piercing saber light was already before her. It swept past her body, splitting her Chaos Armor in two, and two miniature Nascent Souls flew out from her body.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a large azure hand materialized out of thin air, reaching for the two Nascent Souls.

Just then, a thick red beam of light shot forth, piercing through the large azure hand.

A blue light appeared in the distant sky, flickered, and then stopped, revealing a dragon boat shimmering with blue light. A gap appeared at its bottom, and Wang Changsheng flew out from it.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, they have high-grade immortal artifacts. Run!" Lan Fukong warned, his voice urgent.

"High-grade immortal artifacts are nothing. You two go inside and take shelter for a bit," Wang Changsheng said, pointing at the gap, and Chen Yueying's and Lan Fukong's Nascent Souls flew towards the gap.

A slender young man in a blood-red robe and a plump young woman in a blue dress flew over. Both had cultivation at the perfected Golden Immortal stage. The young man in the blood-red robe held a long saber shimmering with blood-red light, and the young woman in the blue dress held a pipa shimmering with blue light. Both the blood-red saber and the blue pipa were high-grade immortal artifacts.

"Immortal warship!" The young man in the blood-red robe frowned, his eyes filled with apprehension.

The mouth of the blue dragon boat glowed with specks of red light, and a thick red beam of light shot out directly towards the young man in the blood-red robe.

The young man in the blood-red robe showed no fear. With a swing of his saber, a blood-red saber glint swept out, shattering the red beam of light.

"Perfected Laws!" Wang Changsheng suddenly realized. No wonder Chen Yueying, even wearing mid-grade Chaos Armor, was no match.

The blood-red saber glint instantly reached Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng's hands glowed with black and white spiritual light, and a massive Tai Chi diagram appeared before him.

The blood-red saber glint struck the Tai Chi diagram. The Tai Chi diagram began to rotate, and the blood-red saber glint shattered inch by inch and dissipated.

"Perfected Yin-Yang Laws!" A flicker of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes.

Wang Ruyan flew out from the gap.

The enemies had high-grade immortal artifacts and perfected Laws. A Yellow-grade immortal warship wouldn't easily kill them, so Wang Huanyu should control the immortal warship to assist them in eliminating the enemies.

"Husband, Senior Sister Chen said they accidentally encountered these two, who immediately launched a fatal attack," Wang Ruyan transmitted her voice.

"Let's finish this quickly and deal with them." After saying this, the young man in the blood-red robe swung his saber. A blood-red light flew out, blurred, and transformed into a colossal blood dragon, which wagged its tail and lunged at Wang Changsheng.

The young woman in the blue dress ran her fingers across the pipa strings, and waves of azure sound waves swept out, heading straight for Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan took out the Heavenly Sound Flute, placed it to her lips, and began to play.

A joyful flute melody rang out, and waves of sapphire sound waves swept out to meet the azure sound waves.

The blood dragon struck the Tai Chi diagram; the Tai Chi diagram trembled slightly, and the blood dragon quickly dissipated. The azure sound waves collided with the sapphire sound waves. The azure sound waves instantly dissipated, and the sapphire sound waves continued straight towards the opponents.

The young woman in the blue dress frowned. Both she and Wang Ruyan wielded high-grade immortal artifacts and had perfected the Law of Sound, yet her attacks were easily neutralized by Wang Ruyan.

A ball of white light emerged from the young woman's right hand. She unleashed a palm strike, and a white ice palm flashed forth, meeting the sapphire sound waves.

An astonishing scene unfolded: the white ice palm collided with the sapphire sound waves and likewise dissipated.

"A high-grade immortal artifact refined with a Grandmist Spirit Treasure!" The young woman in the blue dress exclaimed, her expression turning solemn.

The young man in the blood-red robe swung his saber, and dense blood-red saber qi swept out. It collided with the sapphire sound waves; the blood-red saber qi was completely defeated. The young man in the blood-red robe and the young woman in the blue dress quickly dodged. The sapphire sound waves destroyed over a hundred peaks and a large amount of vegetation before finally dissipating.
