Suddenly realizing who the man was, Ji Yuanquan pointed at him and exclaimed in disbelief, âWu Yi! Youâre Wu Yi, Feng Beiluoâs martial uncle!
âBut didnât you die already? I distinctly remember that your soul was scattered!
âAnd this body is clearly not yours!â
If the old eccentric had borne his original appearance, instead of being a half-man half-ghoul as he was now, Ji Yuanquan would have been able to recognize him upon seeing him.
Wu Yi was a powerful expert of the Heavenly Corpse Sect from the previous generation.
Both he and Feng Beiluoâs master had been killed in the four great sectsâ joint operation to wipe out the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Wu Yi had been at the late Saint domain when he had died. Who would have thought that many years later, he would reappear in such a body, with an aura that was even stronger than before?
In Ji Yuanquanâs senses, this man before him might possess the battle prowess of an early God domain expert.
However, since he hadnât released his corpse power or activated his domain, it was hard to say for sure.
With a low, cunning laugh, Wu Yi said, âOf course, this isnât my true self. A secret magic of my sect allows me to place my soul inside a ghoul, and strengthen my true self through strengthening the ghoul. Iâm taking a different path. The cultivation method Iâm using is no longer the same as that of the Heavenly Corpse Sectâs disciples.â
âThe Heavenly Corpse Sect...â Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian didnât fear or panic. Instead, he asked, coldly, âWhat do you want by coming to the Realm of Divine Seal? Your previous scheme led to a bloody war between human experts and experts of various races in the Shatter Battlefield, from which all sides suffered heavy losses. Now, youâve suddenly shown up here outside the Realm of Divine Seal. I bet you donât bear good intentions either.â
A sinister smile appeared on Wu Yiâs face. âGood intentions? Hahaha! my sect was destroyed by the joint efforts of the four so-called great sects. My senior martial brother was killed, body and soul. Why would I bear any good intentions towards them?â
âSo youâre here to pick up a fight?â Nie Tian said expressionlessly.
The smile faded from Wu Yiâs face as he fixed his gruesome eyes on Nie Tian and said, âI came here for Gupi.
âYou and your master, Wu Ji, ruined my great plan in the Shatter Battlefield. Iâll never forget that. No matter who mediates, Iâll settle that account with you one day.â
Nie Tian frowned. âYou can try.â
He might harbor a bit of a scruple about going to battle against Feng Beiluo. That was because Feng Beiluo had helped him before, and his attitude towards him had been strange every time they had met.
However, he didnât have even the slightest positive feeling about this Wu Yi in front of him, and he wouldnât relent if they were to battle.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
As they spoke, Gupi slowly appeared in the distant starry river, enveloped in acidic, toxic miasma. Judging from the direction in which it was moving, it was indeed heading towards the Realm of Divine Seal, which it seemed to be hoping to turn into a heaven and earth that suited it and the Fiends with its toxic miasma.
âItâs here.â
Upon seeing Gupi, Wu Yi, who had waited for a long time, ended his conversation with Nie Tian and Ji Yuanquan. Surprisingly, he looked rather excited as he controlled the floating meteor to shoot towards Gupi.
It wasnât very long before the meteor carried Wu Yi to Gupiâs toxic miasma, where they both disappeared.
Astonished, Nie Tian asked, âThat old eccentric from the Heavenly Corpse Sect is courting death by doing that, right? The essence of Gupiâs acidic toxins can melt even God domain expertsâ domains, causing them to die miserable deaths. Jiang Yuanchi is at the middle God domain. Even he suffered a heavy backlash after sealing Gupi inside of him for ages.â
âPerhaps Gupi wonât be able to kill him,â Ji Yuanquan said, his face grim. âAfter all, technically, heâs not human anymore. The aura he exudes and the structure of his body are different from those of humans. I suppose, in such a state, he may actually be immune to the Fiendsâ great varieties of toxins. Even Gupiâs corrosive toxins may not be fatal to him.â
Nie Tian was taken aback. âIs that so?!â
Ji Yuanquan nodded. âThe Heavenly Corpse Sect was a very special and wicked sect to begin with.
âItâs said that the founder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect derived their special cultivation methods from the Phantasms, Bonebrutes, and Fiendsâ bloodline magics. Those cultivation methods were considered evil from the day they were born. And they were the reason why members of their sect were hunted down and killed by powerful experts in different times.
âHowever, even today, the Heavenly Corpse Sect hasnât completely died out, as Feng Beiluo is still alive.
âWhether we admit it or not, the Heavenly Corpse Sectâs cultivation methods are very powerful in their own way. Hmm... Feng Beiluo alone is already a big headache for all of us. Who would have thought that Wu Yi is also alive?â
WHOOSH!
With these words, Nie Tian and Ji Yuanquan flew forward and stopped in Gupiâs path.
Ji Yuanquanâs expression was extremely grim as he said, âNie Tian, as you know, I canât deal with Gupi. You may give it a shot if you want. However, should you fail, Iâll do everything within my power to take you away from here.
âYou have to be extra careful. Donât despair if things donât work out this time. Give up the Realm of Divine Seal if it comes to that.
âAs long as you stay safe, youâll find a way to confine Gupi when youâre stronger, and your cultivation base and bloodline rise to new heights.â
Nie Tian nodded slowly. âGot it.â
With these words, wisps of his flesh aura flew out through his pores all over his body, and he activated Primal Chaos in his enlarged form. As soon as he did, he felt that its influence and might were much greater than when he had activated it in his regular form!
Spiritual power of different attributes, his flesh power, and wisps of his soul will surged violently in the starry river outside the Realm of Divine Seal.
Twisting and splitting power gradually formed in the chaotic magnetic field, and soon became hard to control.
However, he continued to stand unwavering in its midst like a terrifying god, staring coldly at the incoming Gupi.
Gupi had originally traveled at a high speed. However, for some reason, it gradually came to a stop. It might be Wu Yiâs entry, Nie Tianâs arrival, or other reasons.
Gupi stopped in a place that was a fairly safe distance from the Realm of Divine Seal.
The Void domain Qi warriors who had insisted on staying and fighting for the Realm of Divine Seal saw Nie Tian, in his enlarged form, standing in Gupiâs way like a solid wall immediately after they flew out enveloped in their domains.
âNie Tian! Itâs our leader, Nie Tian!â
Their spirits were instantly lifted.
âItâs said that he was able to contain the acidic toxins Gupi released to attack the Realm of Fragmentary Star. Hopefully, heâll fight the abomination off again this time. The Realm of Divine Seal is the very foundation of our sect. If itâs plagued by Gupi, Iâm afraid we wonât be able to find another realm that suits our cultivation needs the way it does.â
âExactly. Weâve vested every river and mountain of this realm with profound seals and magical talismans, so our disciples can derive enlightenment from them and make progress in their cultivation.â
âIf we abandon the Realm of Divine Seal and restart on another realm, our sectâs vital energy will be greatly undermined, from which we wonât be able to recover in centuries, or even millenia.â
This was the reason why these disciples of the Divine Seal Sect had insisted on staying and holding on to their hope of winning, even though they knew perfectly well how great a threat Gupi was.
Nie Tian observed with rapt attention, then said, âThe way Gupi gathers the essence of its acidic toxins is different from before.
âApparently, it has made contact and established soul communication with Wu Yi from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. I just wonder if itâll make Wu Yi its enemy or ally. Weâll be in trouble if it decides on ally.â
