The female corpse king would naturally not be subdued so easily, and even more baleful aura emerged from her body, constantly destroying the Wrathful Earth Formation.
Zhang Ling had no choice but to continuously cast spells, condensing the shattered earth spirits to maintain the Wrathful Earth Formation. This caused his spiritual power to be consumed many times over.
After all, the reason he could trap this monster was because the female corpse king had no intelligence, which gave him a great advantage.
However, the female corpse king's powerful attack power could not be ignored.
But if this stalemate continued, Zhang Ling felt that he couldn't handle it.
It seemed that he had to use powerful offensive and defensive means, preferably to solve this monster with one strike.
Zhang Ling thought to himself.
He didn't have much confidence in solving such a high-level corpse king with one strike.
With a wave of his hand, a black light flew out from his sleeve and floated in front of him, transforming into a black and red bone claw. Spiritual power struck it, and the black bone giant claw quickly changed.
Only the full-powered Black Bone Giant Claw could give it a fatal blow.
Zhang Ling sighed inwardly, pushing this thing with all his might would consume a lot of spiritual power.
The time spent fighting the female corpse king was only a moment, but he had already consumed a lot of spiritual power.
It was much faster than when he fought against the Blood Demon Sanren(散人: a title for a wandering, unattached cultivator) and that ghost-masked youth.
But Zhang Ling couldn't be careless in the slightest when dealing with such an enemy. He could only spare no expense in consuming his magical power.
Rumbling loud noises constantly came from within the sandstorm transformed by the Wrathful Earth Formation.
The female corpse king turned into a afterimage, constantly charging inside, wantonly destroying. Although this monster had no intelligence, its body was full of corpse evil aura, which was extremely terrifying.
Countless Celestial Star Sands were therefore stained with a lot of corpse evil aura. The attached spiritual power was constantly being consumed.
If this continued, his large piece of Celestial Star Sand might be directly corroded.
jingle bell!
At this time, Zhang Ling suddenly heard another series of bell sounds. This time, the bell sound was clear in his ears, and he instantly turned his head to look at the white mist area.
The bell was coming from inside. Immediately afterwards, a blue light rushed out of the white mist area.
This light flashed and actually rushed into the Wrathful Earth Formation.
Zhang Ling's face changed, and he quickly scanned with his divine sense, and he saw clearly that the green light was wrapped a green lotus flower. The lotus flower was only the size of a fist, and there were three copper bells of different sizes hanging below.
It looked like some kind of ornament. It exuded a special spiritual power fluctuation.
The god stone fell on it and was actually devoured. Zhang Ling revealed a shocked expression.
He saw that this green lotus flashed a few times and then floated above the female corpse king's head, slowly rotating.
Seemingly slowly, the green lotus blossomed. Strands of green spiritual light, like flames, radiated out.
Forming a strange green light, covering the female corpse king.
The three small bells hanging below the green lotus also made a tinkling sound.
Hearing this sound, the female corpse king appeared even more angry, and a layer of blood-red hair actually grew on her body, directly turning into a blood-colored monster.
The corpse evil aura on her body formed an terrifying blood-black mist, impacting the green light.
The green lotus constantly rotated, releasing more green light to suppress the female corpse king.
At the same time, the attacks released by the Earthly Fiend Earth Spirit in the Wrathful Earth Formation were all blocked as soon as they approached the female corpse king.
This strange scene made Zhang Ling a little stunned, not knowing what was going on.
“ Serene Lotus.” Beside him, the spiritual light flashed, and Blue Sparrow called out involuntarily as he looked at the green lotus.
Hearing Blue Sparrow's voice, Zhang Ling's thoughts turned, and he remembered seeing an introduction to the Serene Lotus in some ancient book.
This was a strange object born from heaven and earth. Speaking of which, it was similar to the Rootless Lotus he had obtained before, both of which were innate spiritual objects.
It was said that golden lotuses and red lotuses had appeared in the world, each with its own wonderful uses.
Legend has it that the golden lotus was the most helpful to cultivators, known as the Seven Treasure Golden Lotus, and cultivators who obtained it could easily cultivate into true immortals, with the effect of ascending in broad daylight.
The red lotus released endless karma fire, burning the souls of living beings.
There was also a black lotus, which had great power to destroy everything.
And the Serene Lotus was also among them. Although its power was not as great as these legendary powers.
But its effect was also very strong, able to calm the mind and prevent inner demons from invading.
But these were all legends in ancient books, and only a few words were recorded.
Zhang Ling had never thought that he could really see such a strange object.
But the strange green lotus in front of him constantly released spiritual light, covering the female corpse king.
The female corpse king was constantly being suppressed, and the corpse evil aura on her body was rapidly weakening.
In just a few breaths, the female corpse king calmed down. Standing there motionless, as if asleep.
So easily suppressing a corpse king comparable to a great cultivator.
Zhang Ling's eyebrows twitched, he looked at Blue Sparrow, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this really the Serene Lotus?"
“That's right, this is the Serene Lotus, and it seems to be of the sixth grade.” Blue Sparrow stared at the green lotus above the female corpse king's head and said in a low voice.
“Sixth grade? Do these strange objects have grades?”
“Of course, these strange objects are said to be conceived from chaos. The highest is forty-nine grades, which is something that even true immortals would covet. Reaching the ninth grade, it has a greater effect than immortal-grade spiritual objects. A twelfth-grade Serene Lotus once appeared in the spirit world, attracting competition from many races, resulting in the death and injury of hundreds of millions of living beings.”
Zhang Ling's eyes lit up, he stared at the green lotus, and a look of covetousness also rose in his heart.
Suddenly, the green lotus stopped rotating and fell downward, directly disappearing into the female corpse king's body and disappeared.
Zhang Ling couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Then he saw the female corpse king raise her face, and between the flying of a head of scarlet messy hair, she revealed a pair of green light flashing eyes.
Zhang Ling's heart sank. Because there was already radiance in the female corpse king's eyes, no longer the muddy red. It seemed that she already had consciousness.
Sure enough, the female corpse king's gaze then swept over, glanced at him and Blue Sparrow, and conveyed a pleasant voice.
“Who are you?”
Zhang Ling did not reply, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly. He thought to himself in his heart that he was afraid he was going to escape.
The female corpse king had intelligence, and he had no confidence in suppressing her at all. After all, this guy had the cultivation of the late Yuanying stage.
The reason he was able to suppress her just now was entirely because he took advantage of the female corpse king's lack of intelligence.
Once she had intelligence, she was naturally not the same, and could no longer be regarded as an ordinary zombie.
At this moment, the female corpse king in Zhang Ling's eyes was definitely a few points more terrifying than the Yuanying cultivator of the human race.
“You are foreign cultivators, right?” The female corpse king's voice came again.
As she spoke, this woman also tidied a head of messy red hair, revealing her cheeks. The corpse evil aura on her body was also withdrawn into her body, looking like an ordinary female cultivator.
“Eh, you are Miss Ruolan.” Zhang Ling couldn't help but call out when he saw the face of this female corpse king.
The female corpse king revealed her face, and except for being a little pale, she looked exactly like the Miss Ruolan he had seen in the illusion in Chenguang Pavilion not long ago.
The only difference was that there was a cyan lotus flower mark between her eyebrows.
“You know me?” The female corpse king was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhang Ling and revealed a smile. “I can hardly remember this name.”
“It seems that you have already seen the illusion created by Gu Chen.”
This female corpse king looked quite calm and did not immediately break open the Wrathful Earth Formation. Zhang Ling was slightly relieved and also said, “Gu Chen, are you talking about the Divine Light True Person?”
“ Divine Light True Person, hehe. That guy has used this name.” A strange color flashed across the female corpse king's eyes, as if she had fallen into memories.
For a time, the scene became a little strange, and only the sound of sand flowing could be heard.
After a moment of silence, Blue Sparrow suddenly spoke. “In the illusion, you should have died already. It seems that the Divine Light True Person really saved you.”
Hearing this, Ruolan glanced at Blue Sparrow, and then said, “ Resurrection? I was indeed dead at that time. Only a strand of remnant soul was left, sealed in the flesh. Now this appearance is the vitality that Gu Chen changed my fate against the heavens for. But my primordial spirit is not complete, and even if I achieve a ten-thousand-year corpse king, I am often mentally disordered and do not know myself. Only the Serene Lotus can make me awake a little.”
“The two of you, are you willing to make a deal with me?” Ruolan's tone changed and she looked at Zhang Ling and the two of them.
……
At the same time, Dongfang Ya had broken through the light restriction outside the Yellow Spirit Cave and entered inside.
The light inside was dim, looking like a natural cave.
Dongfang Ya carefully passed through several passages and entered a square space.
This space was a hundred zhang in size, but it was messy. There were many wood and stone shelves piled up, with layers upon layers of books and jade slips on them.
There were also many bottles and cans and other things on the ground. The ground was also piled with many books, occupying most of the space.
“Could this be the library of the Divine Light True Person?” Dongfang Ya whispered, feeling slightly disappointed.
She didn't expect these things inside. These books and jade slips were not of great value to Yuanying cultivators.
Even if there were any magical cultivation techniques and secret arts that could increase strength, they could not be cultivated in a short time.
Their most important goal recently was to find the Soul-Bewitching Fruit in the Divine Light Palace to quickly increase their cultivation.
However, having arrived here, Dongfang Ya still intended to check it out with a little interest. With a gentle wave of her hand, a scattered white jade slip fell into her hand.
Divine sense entered it, checking the information inside.
In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Ya checked the information inside. But her delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she picked up a few books and a few jade slips.
She divided out a few strands of divine sense, probing into them to check the information.
In a short while, she checked many books and jade slips, and Dongfang Ya's expression became even more puzzled.
The information inside was not the cultivation techniques and secret arts she had imagined. Most of them were actually formation classics, and there were also a small number of weapon refining classics.
There were many formation classics inside that had long been lost.
……
On the other side, the Little Phoenix Fairy, who was trapped in the clouds and mist, also encountered trouble and was being besieged by seven or eight cloud and mist demon beasts with the strength of the late Jindan stage.
Her whole body exuded terrifying fire spiritual power, and the crimson spear in her hand turned into a giant snake circling her side. Streams of scorching flames scattered the cloud and mist demon beasts.
Although these guys could not pose too much threat to her, these things continued to harass her along the way.
Little Phoenix Fairy's patience had been worn down almost completely. Her face was fierce, and she spat out a ball of black flames from her mouth.
This ball of black flames was different. The previous spiritual light flickered, and it actually expanded rapidly, transforming into a huge flame crow in the blink of an eye.
With a long cry, a terrifying black fire covered an area of thirty to forty zhang. It instantly cleared the cloud and mist demon beasts that were besieging her.
Little Phoenix Fairy snorted coldly, relying on her powerful strength, she flashed and stood on the head of the flame crow. The flame crow flapped its wings and flew quickly.
Wherever it passed, streams of black fire continued to radiate. Explosions erupted in the mist.
After such a tyrannical progress for a distance, Little Phoenix Fairy finally broke away from the mist range. But she appeared in a dark valley.
This valley was not big, only a few miles in range, and was full of gravel and weeds.
With a sweep of her divine sense, Little Phoenix Fairy discovered that there were a few thatched huts not far away. She drove the flame crow to fly over.
The thatched hut had a layer of gray restriction, and there was something unknown inside.
……
Let's talk about Zhang Ling's side.
After listening to the deal that Ruolan said, he fell into contemplation. The transaction this woman was talking about was very simple. Let him take something from the Soul-Bewitching Hall to help her escape.
Because this woman could not leave this half-black and half-white mist area. Once she left this area, she would be constantly attacked by the thunderclouds in the sky.
As for what caused this reason. It was because Divine Light True Person used the secret method of inverting yin and yang to forcibly retain a trace of his primordial spirit, which allowed this woman to remain undead.
That silvery-white thunderclouds was the heavenly tribulation that Divine Light True Person caused by using secret techniques. It lingered for a long time, targeting the two of them.
Ruolan also practiced the body of a zombie because of this. As for Divine Light True Person, it seems that he has really died.
According to what Ruolan said just now, when she first woke up, she was mentally disordered and did not know who she was. She had been unable to get out of this mist.
She did not know how long this state lasted before she gradually remembered the past and recovered her memory. She found that she had become a zombie.
Moreover, she was not an ordinary low-level zombie. At that time, her cultivation seemed to be no weaker than that of an ordinary Yuanying cultivator.
But she was still trapped here, sometimes mentally disordered, and sometimes awake because of the Serene Lotus.
Under this situation of constant confusion and constant awake. Ruolan gradually gained some information in her consciousness.
That was not her original memory, but the information left by Divine Light True Person.
Zhang Ling naturally could not understand the whole picture of these, and Ruolan simply said that Divine Light True Person had left behind a way to help her escape.
It was said that only when her cultivation reached the late Yuanying stage would it be possible to withstand the thunder and lightning in the sky.
At the same time, he also left a treasure to help her resist the thunder tribulation.
A long time ago, Ruolan had reached the cultivation of the late Yuanying stage.
At that time, she urged the secret method left by Divine Light True Person, wanting to summon the treasure in the Soul-Bewitching Hall to help her escape. However, she did not know what happened, and the treasure did not appear.
She tried countless times, but it had no effect.
