Chapter 275: Flood Dragon Refining Corpse, Six Paths of Hell
Spectral lights of various colors filled the void, and sword Qi rampaged over dozens of miles.
Battles erupted everywhere, leading to extreme chaos, virtually indistinguishable from the battlefield outside Heavenly River City at this moment.
The only difference was that now, Qingxuan Sect was facing the other Three Sects.
There were not many casualties, as the primary tactic was restraint.
Xie An glanced at the other four people on the Spirit Boat, then sent a voice transmission to Chen Daoyuan.
However, Chen Daoyuan still did not respond.
Yet Xie An, as if he had anticipated this, did not mind and waved a big hand.
As Spirit Light suddenly appeared, several Spirit Puppets instantly surrounded the War Treasure Ship.
Countless Spirit Stones flew from Xie An's hand, dropping into the various Spirit Stone depots of the War Treasure Ship.
All eleven Spirit Stone depots were filled in an instant.
The only empty depot was the one nearest to Lin Shiming's side.
Lin Shiming, intuitively understanding, said nothing and immediately went to the empty depot. He pressed his right hand down, drawing the True Yuan from the Superior Grade Spirit Stones while activating the War Treasure Ship.
Catching a glimpse of the other four, he noticed that their gazes were clearly not the same as before, probably because they had been taken over by the Soul Summoning Sword.
At this moment, the four of them stood in place, caught in the clash of Sword Intent between Chen Daoyuan and Wan Changqing, but the next moment, one of them looked towards Lin Shiming.
"Eh!"
With a sound of surprise, the attention of the other three was drawn, and in the blink of an eye, they started walking towards him, scanning the surroundings before stopping not far from him.
"Kid, what is your relationship with Elder Cao?"
"Flame Yang?"
An ancient voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Lin Shiming also raised his head but did not respond.
He continued to transfer True Yuan on his own accord.
Sure enough, the gaze of those four immediately attracted Xie An's attention.
But seeing that Lin Shiming continued to supply True Yuan without any distraction, Xie An turned his gaze back towards the combined encirclement of Wanjian Sect.
They must break out; the Soul Summoning Sword was too significant, they could not afford any mishap, otherwise, even with his status in Purple Mansion, there would be no place for him in the Eastern Domain.
The moment the War Treasure Ship was activated, it was like an ancient mythical creature awakening. The massive Spirit Boat immediately emitted a dazzling light.
Waves of Spirit Might comparable to a Purple Mansion Great Demon radiated out, intimidating peak Foundation Establishment cultivators like Chen Daoyuan and Wan Changqing, daring not to face its edge.
Meanwhile, Chen Daoyuan took this opportunity to distance himself from Wan Changqing, retracting all his Sword Qi into himself.
Stepping onto the Spirit Boat, he stood with his sword, like a Sword God overlooking the earth.
"Go!"
The War Treasure Ship emitted endless Spirit Light, with numerous Spirit Formations appearing on its surface, and countless Spirit Light Swords floating around the ship.
With just one command from Chen Daoyuan, it would strike with the wrath of a Purple Mansion Sword Cultivator.
Dashing along its path, no one could stand in its way.
This Spirit Boat was far more precious than Lin Shiming's boat, and even more powerful.
The Fourth Rank grand Killing Formation it covered was also a Sword Dao Killing Formation, undoubtedly one of the most lethal among all Fourth Rank treasure ships.
Even the Wanjian Sect cultivators forming the Sword Array had to clear a wide path for it.
"Chen Daoyuan, do you think you're the only one with a War Treasure Ship?" Wan Changqing roared, and with a flick of his finger, a War Treasure Ship of similar size appeared in the sky.
It emitted an equally terrifying Spirit Might.
Today, he must make Chen Daoyuan stay behind; if Qingxuan Sect's Heavenly Sword Peak acquired the Soul Summoning Sword,
both Heavenly Sword True Person and Profound Sword True Person would become invincible in the Sword Cultivator domain.
Unless Wanjian Sect found a Magical Treasure Flying Sword with the same Spirit Intelligence,
they would become a joke in front of Qingxuan Sect!
The two War Treasure Ships raced through the sky, one in front of the other.
But just at that moment, a terrifying roar of a dragon resounded.
The next second, two Fourth Rank Demonic Beast corpse puppets, along with a Fourth Rank Flood Dragon corpse puppet, rushed from all directions and slapped the War Treasure Ship with a claw. With a loud bang, the entire ship was forcefully repelled by the Fang Dragon corpse puppet.
Lin Shiming's True Yuan was instantly disrupted, causing him to spew out fresh blood.
He widened his eyes in disbelief.
Before his eyes, there were not only three Fourth Rank Purple Mansion corpse puppets but also innumerably many Third Rank late-stage corpse puppets. Of course, the most terrifying was the Flood Dragon corpse puppet that had struck them down.
This Flood Dragon corpse puppet was more than ten zhang long, far larger than the earlier Taiqing Purple Jade Python, covered in spikes and horrifically ferocious. With a belly bearing two claws, its immense fierceness overwhelmed Lin Shiming to the point of dizziness with just a few glances.
Moreover, most of the Demonic Beasts from Spirit Beast Sect began to grovel restlessly!
They became extremely frantic.
He could not fathom the strength of this Flood Dragon corpse puppet, nor could he guess which Corpse Refining Sect cultivator's corpse puppet it was, capable of a Foundation Establishment cultivator controlling a Fourth Rank spiritual corpse.
But the next moment, he thought that this Fourth Rank Flood Dragon corpse puppet was definitely not those of the Foundation Establishment disciples; it was likely to be avatars of some True Persons or Hermits!
Apart from the Flood Dragon corpse puppet, Lin Shiming was equally shocked by the extravagance of Corpse Refining Sect.
He even suspected that this group from the Corpse Refining Sect hadn't put any real effort into treasure hunting. Instead, they had been endlessly slaughtering Demonic Beasts and refining corpse puppets.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to have so many Third Rank late-stage corpse puppets. One must know, even during the great battle at Heavenly River City, the Corpse Refining Sect didn't have so many corpse puppets.
He and Lin Xianzhi had also hunted many Demonic Beasts, but they had only managed to control four or five while cautiously avoiding the Purple Mansion Great Demons.
And behind these corpse puppets were the numerous Cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect, easily a contingent a hundred strong.
