Chapter 82: Discovering the Great Tomb {Ten Updates Complete}

Snap!

Yang Qi crushed a skull with one step, flying through the underground tunnels of the tomb. He had entered the tomb tunnels of the "Sha Shi Mountain Range." Although it was pitch black, with the extension of his qi, everything was clear to him.

In the darkness, the tomb tunnels became increasingly spacious, and there actually appeared a few moving skeletons. These skeletons, whose identities were unknown, had bones as hard as iron. After their death, the essence of their qi remained in their bodies, and under the influence of the tomb's sha qi, they were all transformed into undead, skeleton soldiers.

Moreover, these skeleton armies were clearly refined by someone. Their bones had black patterns, as if someone had inscribed magical runes on them, allowing them to automatically absorb sha qi.

This was an array!

A demonic array, which only a demonic expert at the Life Seizing Realm could deploy.

Without a doubt, in this vast underground tomb, there was a Life Seizing Realm expert hidden, possibly even a thousand-year-old corpse, the king of corpses.

Yang Qi also knew that the "Sha Shi Mountain Range" was incredibly vast, with underground tomb passages crisscrossing and leading directly to the deepest places. Even experts at the Life Seizing Realm, if they ventured deep into the tomb, could be eroded by the sha qi, risking their true qi being depleted. If they encountered a thousand-year-old corpse, they would surely die.

However, Yang Qi was different. He dared to venture deep into the underground tomb, relying on his true qi, which was even more powerful and enduring than that of the Life Seizing Realm, and the "Hell Furnace" embryo, which could refine sha qi and corpse qi.

With him at the center, the corpse qi and sha qi within a radius of several dozen feet were evaporated by a sulfur-like true qi. The heat waves made the tomb tunnels seem to melt slightly, turning into lava.

Snap, snap!

Yang Qi swiftly traversed one underground tomb passage after another. The skeleton armies grew more numerous, and some of the skeletons began to develop thin layers of fur on their bodies. Their black, hollow eye sockets flickered with the flames of the soul, and they possessed true qi, transforming into demons.

Hey!

A blood-red skeleton appeared, pushing its palms forward, and its body was instantly engulfed in burning flames. The flames were dark red, extremely hot, and highly toxic, a manifestation of the "Poison Fire Qi."

His qi cultivation had reached the Eighth Stage.

Unfortunately, Yang Qi simply passed by, allowing the Poison Fire Qi to strike his body without any effect. Then, the blood-red skeleton's head exploded, and a bone pill flew out, which was a demon core.

A demon core of an Eighth Stage qi expert.

Yang Qi stomped his foot again, and the other skeletons were scattered by the force.

In an instant, he almost traversed a hundred layers of tomb passages, not even knowing how deep he had gone. Along the way, the skeleton armies grew more numerous, and there were also zombies and ancient corpses mixed in.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

Suddenly, a powerful aura locked onto Yang Qi.

Then, a flash of a blade shot out from the other end of the underground tomb passage, and a powerful zombie appeared. This zombie was clad in armor, possibly a general from some dynasty who had turned into a zombie. He held a three-section mountain cleaving saber, which was taller than a person, majestic and imposing, with extremely powerful true qi, still retaining his qi techniques from life.

He roared, and the blade light flashed like a ribbon, slicing through the air. It was the technique of a qi master.

In the Sha Shi Mountain Range, there were also burial grounds. If a demonic qi master entered, they could reawaken the intelligence of some ancient corpses, turning them into experts.

These ancient corpses, who were qi masters in life, after turning into corpse demons, had only one will, no distractions, and their qi cultivation progressed even faster. Their bodies, having undergone corpse transformation, were as hard as steel.

Earth Splitting Slash!

Faintly, the qi master-level ancient corpse general muttered a barely intelligible phrase, and the blade light reached Yang Qi's body.

Clang!

Yang Qi casually slapped his palm, shattering the three-section saber. He flicked his fingers, and the Spring Silk Rain qi burst forth, a thread of sword qi piercing through the general's head, and a jade pill escaped from his mouth.

This jade pill was the size of a longan, covered in blood vessels, resembling an eyeball.

Yang Qi sensed that it contained a vast amount of true qi, equivalent to the total amount of true qi in a qi master's qi sea. This was a rare jade that could store true qi.

This kind of treasure, Yang Qi had once heard that Yan Gufeng possessed one, a priceless ring. Although it was not as good as his Ocean Heart storage ring, it was something that all students of the Heaven Position Academy coveted.

As soon as he obtained the jade eyeball, the ancient corpse general collapsed, his body exploding, turning many zombies into flesh paste.

"Good treasure. I don't need this treasure, but my father can use it. Storing true qi in it is like having twice the true qi power, making battles more formidable. With my father's ability to refine the Air Capturing Grass, plus this eyeball, he might even be able to escape from a Life Seizing Realm expert."

This jade eyeball was likely a burial item of the ancient corpse general, which is why it was in his mouth, preventing the body from decaying.

After collecting the jade eyeball, Yang Qi continued to charge forward.

Along the way, whether it was skeletons, zombies, or even qi experts who had turned into corpse demons, they all exploded upon encountering Yang Qi, and their demon cores were all collected in his storage ring.

Some of the ancient corpses, who were once noble, had various burial items on their bodies, which also became his possessions.

However, there were no particularly precious treasures.

Except for the jade eyeball at the beginning, the rest were ordinary treasures, such as sharp swords and weapons that could enhance the power of qi techniques.

Yang Qi continued to slaughter, his true qi not depleting at all. With each breath, the true qi in his meridians surged, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Suddenly, from the depths of the underground tomb, a sharp howl echoed.

All the zombies and skeletons, upon hearing this sound, retreated into the depths of the tunnels. Soon, the entire tunnel was devoid of any ghosts.

"What is this? Such a powerful sound."

Yang Qi swiftly followed the sound, traversing layer upon layer of tunnels. Suddenly, the scene opened up, and a massive tomb appeared in the depths of the underground.

This tomb was very tall, almost ten feet high, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the walls.

On the ground, the condensed images of mountains and rivers were carved, and on the ceiling, the patterns of the sun, moon, and stars were depicted using night pearls.

This tomb, with its condensed mountains and rivers below and the celestial map above, had a massive coffin in the center, seemingly containing a giant.

The coffin was made of bronze, with ancient beasts carved on all four sides.

Just by looking at the tomb, one could tell that its owner was of no ordinary status.

As soon as Yang Qi rushed into the tomb, a corpse flew out of the massive bronze coffin. This corpse was a man, with a golden face, wearing a jade-embroidered golden robe, and holding a scepter. The scepter, made of an unknown material, was entirely black, and at its top was a large gemstone.

The gemstone was a fiery red, like a ball of flame essence, containing immense power. Yang Qi even felt that within the fiery red gemstone, a small sun was being formed.

"What is this gemstone?" Yang Qi was taken aback. By his intuition, he felt that this gemstone was much better than the jade eyeball he had obtained earlier.

The corpse, holding the scepter and wearing the jade-embroidered golden robe, was extremely powerful. As soon as it flew out of the coffin, its evil eyes fixed on Yang Qi, and its aura enveloped the entire area, almost capable of stunning many qi masters.

A Life Seizing Realm expert, a thousand-year-old corpse king.

However, Yang Qi remained unmoved by this aura.

"Heaven Position Academy student? A mere qi master, an outer court student, dares to intrude into the depths of the Sha Shi Mountain Range, into the tomb of King Huaiyin? You are simply courting death!"

This corpse was once a king, known as King Huaiyin.

"Intruding into my tomb, the only way to satisfy my hatred is to turn you into my slave corpse. Go to hell!" The thousand-year-old corpse king, King Huaiyin, with a cruel aura, pointed his scepter at Yang Qi the moment he saw him. A red light shot out from the gemstone, tearing through the air, scorching and capable of melting metal.

Facing this Life Seizing Realm thousand-year-old corpse king, Yang Qi did not dare to be careless. In the depths of the underground tomb, he unleashed his full power, activating the Divine Elephant Town Prison technique, the God of Darkness Spear, the Demon Wings, and the God of Darkness Armor.

His tall figure, clad in the noble black gold armor, with a long divine spear and massive demon wings, stirred up a fierce wind with a single flap.

The spear pierced through the red light, instantly dissipating it.

Then, the God of Darkness Spear burst forth with a myriad of spear shadows, completely enveloping the thousand-year-old corpse king. He unleashed his strongest attack, a storm of spears, lightning, and fierce winds, aiming to suppress and slay the Life Seizing Realm expert as quickly as possible.

A Life Seizing Realm expert, no matter what, had the possibility of escaping at any moment, especially since Yang Qi was only a qi master, still inferior in terms of realm and understanding of the natural qi.

Now, his ferocity was to prove himself and hone his skills, to quickly break through his realm and understand the natural qi.

Moreover, if he obtained the demon core of this Life Seizing Realm expert and studied it carefully, he had a good chance of making further progress.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The fierce and sharp God of Darkness Spear sliced through the air, piercing through the thousand-year-old corpse king's protective true qi in an instant, striking the jade-embroidered golden robe.

Clang!

The jade-embroidered golden robe emitted a circle of light, a deep, resonant sound, blocking the spear. This robe was a rare treasure, even capable of blocking the God of Darkness Spear.

Of course, this was because Yang Qi's realm was insufficient, while the thousand-year-old corpse king was at the Life Seizing Realm.
