Chapter 586 - Another Golden Corpse Appears
Translator: Cinder Translations
---
The giant talisman clearly targeted corpses, with a powerful restraining effect on them. Before the talisman even fell, a tremendous sense of pressure descended from above.
In mid-air, the Golden Corpse suddenly felt a massive force bearing down on it.
Its body quickly plummeted downward.
Its feet hit the ground first.
Rocks shattered, and the ground trembled.
The Golden Corpse's feet sank deep into the rocks, and countless shards of stone were sent flying.
The giant talisman roared down and landed directly on the Golden Corpse, pressing down on it like a mountain.
The Golden Corpse let out an angry roar, trying to break free from the talisman's suppression.
Its entire body surged with corpse energy, repeatedly striking at the talisman above it.
The talisman flickered and swayed, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
"The talisman can't hold the Golden Corpse for long; we need to leave quickly," Zhu Yin warned Song Wen and Zi Yun, urging them to escape. But when she looked, the two had already flown toward opposite sides.
Not far ahead of them were two Purple Spirit Ginseng plants.
"Truly, people die for wealth!" Zhu Yin muttered mockingly.
She scanned her surroundings with her spiritual sense and discovered that, not far behind her, there was another Purple Spirit Ginseng plant.
In the area where she had set up the formation, three Purple Spirit Ginseng plants had appeared simultaneously.
Without hesitation, Zhu Yin rushed toward the nearest plant.
TL/N: Lol
As soon as she pulled the Purple Spirit Ginseng from the ground, she heard Song Wen shout loudly.
"Zhu Yin, watch out above!"
Zhu Yin looked up toward the sky.
A humanoid Golden Corpse with a pair of fleshy wings was silently descending from above, aiming to pounce on her.
Zhu Yin opened her mouth and spat out a small blood-colored coffin.
The coffin expanded rapidly with the wind and quickly grew to the size of a full yard.
The blood coffin shot up into the air, charging at the flying Golden Corpse.
At the same time, her body swiftly darted sideways.
"Boom!"
The blood coffin collided with the flying Golden Corpse.
After the impact, the blood coffin crashed to the ground, creating a massive pit in the rocky terrain.
The flying Golden Corpse was momentarily stunned by the intense collision, giving Zhu Yin a brief chance to escape.
The three didn't dare to linger and quickly retreated toward the cave they had come from.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion echoed from behind.
The surroundings began to shake violently.
The corpse-restraining talisman had been shattered, and the ox-headed Golden Corpse had broken free.
The three of them felt a tightening in their hearts.
If there was only one Golden Corpse, they might still have a chance to escape with their combined strength.
But with two Golden Corpses appearing at the same time, their chances of escaping were slim.
Especially the flying Golden Corpse, which was extraordinarily fast and had already caught up.
"We can't escape! Whatever we have, let's use it now!" Zhu Yin, who was at the back of the group, shouted.
With her urging, the blood coffin shot from the ground once again, crashing toward the flying Golden Corpse.
The flying Golden Corpse, having already suffered from the blood coffin earlier, was now much more cautious. It flapped its massive wings and forcefully struck the blood coffin with them.
The blood coffin was sent flying.
But the coffin lid suddenly flew open, and a third-tier peak-level corpse puppet jumped out.
Back in the Valley of Rebirth, Zhu Yin had lost a corpse puppet. Now, only a few years had passed, and she had managed to craft another third-tier peak-level corpse puppet.
The puppet quickly leapt onto the Golden Corpse's wings.
Its sharp claws grabbed the base of the wings, trying to sever them.
But it clearly underestimated the strength of the Golden Corpse's body.
Aside from tearing off a chunk of rotten flesh, it failed to harm the Golden Corpse in any significant way.
The flying Golden Corpse raised its leg and kicked the corpse puppet away, sending it crashing into the rocks on the ground, where it finally came to a stop.
A flash of light appeared.
At the moment the flying Golden Corpse knocked the corpse puppet away, the Void-breaking Blade slashed across its back.
The Void-breaking Blade couldn't pierce the Golden Corpse's body, leaving only a faint scar on its corpse.
In the scar, a strand of platinum-colored flame flickered.
The flame surged, quickly growing into a raging inferno.
However, the corpse energy on the flying Golden Corpse surged, and the flames were instantly extinguished.
At that moment, a giant sword fell.
After enduring consecutive attacks, the flying Golden Corpse was finally forced to stop.
However, the bull-headed Golden Corpse had already caught up.
Zhu Yin's face changed dramatically. The bull-headed Golden Corpse was now less than ten yards away, and she could already smell the foul, nauseating stench emanating from its body.
"Ji Yin, assist me!" Zhu Yin called out desperately while urging the blood coffin.
Song Wen's mind stirred, and the Blood Sea Seal appeared. A dense aura of blood instantly spread out.
Zi Yun, who was leading the way, couldn't help but glance sideways.
She could feel a chilling presence from the Blood Sea Seal.
Zhu Yin's eyes lit up. The stronger the artifact 'Ji Yin' had, the greater her chances of escaping.
The Blood Sea Seal transformed into a tide of blood, surging toward the bull-headed Golden Corpse.
Under the impact of the blood tide, the bull-headed Golden Corpse's speed sharply slowed.
The blood waves crashed against the bull-headed Golden Corpse, seemingly trying to tear it apart.
But the bull-headed Golden Corpse, surrounded by swirling corpse energy, stood firm like a rock in the deep sea, unyielding despite the blood tide's onslaught.
Zhu Yin seized the opportunity to escape and quickly caught up with Song Wen, who was controlling the Blood Sea Seal.
"Thank you," Zhu Yin said.
Song Wen glanced back at the flying Golden Corpse.
Zi Yun was still trying to block the flying Golden Corpse with the giant sword.
But on her own, she was no match for the Golden Corpse, and its speed increased again.
"Can you set up the corpse-restraining formation?" Song Wen asked Zhu Yin.
"I can, but can you and Zi Yun hold off both Golden Corpses?" Zhu Yin replied.
"Right now, we have no other choice," Song Wen shouted. "Zi Yun, block the flying Golden Corpse, I'll handle the bull-headed Golden Corpse."
Zi Yun, knowing there was no retreat, gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Alright."
Song Wen and Zi Yun intentionally slowed their movements to let Zhu Yin move to the front and set up the formation.
The bull-headed Golden Corpse had seemingly expended a lot of corpse energy when breaking the corpse-restraining talisman, its strength significantly weakened.
It tried several times to break free from the Blood Sea Seal, but it was unable to do so, as the blood tide kept sweeping over it.
Song Wen wasn't faring much better. His brow was furrowed, and he was clearly using all his strength.
His hands moved rapidly in the air, each gesture gathering his full energy. Sweat poured down his face, showing that he was straining to his limits.
At this rate, he was just barely able to trap the Golden Corpse.
Meanwhile, Song Wen's qi was rapidly depleting, and he couldn't maintain this much longer.
Zi Yun's situation was much more perilous.
She had already unleashed several sword strikes, but the flying Golden Corpse had easily blocked them.
The distance between her and the flying Golden Corpse was rapidly closing.
Zi Yun's eyes flashed with determination. She bit her tongue, and a spray of vital blood shot from her mouth.
The blood landed on the giant sword.
The sword suddenly trembled, then erupted in a blinding flash of sword light, sharp and unyielding.
The sword light cut through the darkness and slashed at the flying Golden Corpse.
The Golden Corpse raised its claws, and ten black claw beams shot out to meet the giant sword.
The claws and the giant sword collided with a loud, metallic clash.
In that instant, a violent surge of energy swept through the area like a hurricane.
Under the impact of this energy, the flying Golden Corpse was forced to retreat.
Zi Yun, affected by the shockwave, was sent tumbling like a leaf in the wind. She was thrown through the air and plummeted down.
Blood spurted from her mouth like a fountain.
The blood rained down from the sky.
To make matters worse, the direction in which she was falling was right toward a bottomless rift, exhaling corpse energy from its depths. freewebnøvel.coɱ
