Chapter 294 - 260: Bone Dragon Corpse Demon_2
"just a little more, with another three to five years, i could have transformed into a pure-blooded azure dragon..."
his eyes brimmed with reluctance, yet in the end survival took precedence. by escaping the present deadly predicament, he could undergo the transformation into an azure dragon another day.
the transformation within the four spirits sanctuary not only changed ao qin’s blood and bones, but his very soul had also morphed into that of an azure dragon. essentially different from ordinary dragon kin, even with a mere wisp of soul remaining, he could congeal dragon’s blood.
watching the screen shatter continuously signaled that the corpse demons had breached the laboratory; layers of defenses proved insufficient against their onslaught.
"golden corpse, this king will surely return for revenge!"
ao qin waved his hand and seized one of his descendants, seemingly his three-thousandth some son, whose body surged with dragon blood, which he then fully transferred into the progeny.
roar!
the dragon offspring let out a heaven-shaking roar, revealing its true form—a hybrid of dragon and fish—beginning to transform into a complete dragon under the nourishment of the azure dragon’s blood.
"the demon monarch’s divine skills are extraordinary, to borrow your body as a means to delay pursuit!"
ao qin merged all his vital essence into his son’s body. a semi-translucent dragon soul, carrying the lineage of the azure dragon, burrowed into the ground, fleeing towards the direction of cloud continent.
a moment later.
following the bloodline secret technique, the golden corpse found his way to the center of the laboratory, only to see the trapped dragon fish.
"that little mud loach sure knows how to run!"
with a wave of his hand, he pulled the dragon fish into his grasp, sensing the rich blood of the azure dragon within it and nodded in satisfaction.
"although their bloodline doesn’t compare to that of a true dragon, the dragon offspring cultivated are somewhat inferior. however, combined with the secret techniques of the heavenly corpse sect, the refined corpse dragons are powerful enough to sweep across the nine continents!"
the golden corpse sealed the dragon fish’s soul and flesh, then captured a clan of monkey demons, ordering them to continue cultivating fierce dragon beasts.
the beasts they cultivated were immediately slain, then revived with an infusion of yin sha demonic qi. it could be said that the process from catalysis to refinement was a one-stop service, never-ending production of corpse demons.
with the golden corpse overseeing the laboratory, his underlings, the corpse demons, did not rest. following his orders, they dispersed in all directions.
every living being they encountered was either devoured to increase their strength or slain and transformed into new corpse demons.
under the influence of the yin sha demonic qi, even plants mutated, turning into withered, pitch-black trees, their twisted and sharpened branches like vicious claws.
sensing the presence of living beings, the branches twisted and snatched them, pulling them into the trunk to be consumed alive, which contributed to the growth of the trees’ sentient spirit.
in just one year’s time.
the entire qiong continent no longer harbored any living beings; they had all turned into the ghastly and stout corpse demons!
by now, the number of corpse demons was beyond estimation, like a tide, they began to ooze and spread out, starting to invade other continents.
xiao hong stood beside him and said somberly, "if the situation becomes dire, it’s better to abandon the fire seed than to ensure your own safety. your life and safety are more important to the human race than both this ship and its people!"
because the sea was filled with fierce beasts, it was essential to have a strong member of the human race accompany the ship.
xiao hong originally wanted to go oversea, but being a martial artist, he didn’t understand formation and prohibition, would find it difficult to speed up the fire seed’s journey, and in case of damage to the formation and prohibition, there was nothing he could do to repair it.
thus, only zhou yi could accompany the ship to sea, protecting the million humans, and defending against the attacks of sea monsters.
"brother xiao can rest assured, if it’s beyond hope, i will not insist."
zhou yi may have compassion and spend great effort to rescue his kin, but he absolutely could not sacrifice himself as a result.
"it’s good that you understand,"
xiao hong was not overly worried; after all, zhou yi himself came from the eastern sea, so ensuring his own survival should not be an issue.
"we’re heading to the depths of the eastern sea, tens of thousands of miles away; at the very least it will be three to five years before we return. some of my disciples might wish to attempt core formation."
zhou yi took out a storage bag from his sleeve and said, "here are a few spiritual objects, and should anyone wish to attract the heavenly tribulation during that time, you can give them two of these."
ever since the era of decline, core formation spiritual objects had grown several cycles; even if they weren’t as plentiful as the millennia-old spirit ginseng, there was more than enough for his seven disciples.
now that zhou yi’s disciple slots had been filled, his focus was on their temperament and destiny, planning to help them condense the golden core.
humanity’s only golden core, that title was too heavy, too burdensome; with successors, zhou yi would also be able to pass away earlier.
"rest assured, my friend, i will do my utmost to help!"
xiao hong had slaughtered countless fierce beasts and demons, his murderous aura almost solidifying into substance, truly a fearsome figure of his era. hearing words that seemed like a final wish, he was deeply moved and couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes.
in xiao hong’s eyes, zhou yi was that saintly figure who would rather sacrifice his own lifespan to calculate the future path for the human race!
should they truly encounter a beast tide in the eastern sea, he wouldn’t flee alone as he said, but would fight to the death to protect humankind.
"my seven good-for-nothing disciples, i entrust them to you. if anyone’s heart changes and they betray the human race, you can kill them outright!"
"brother xiao, holding the fort in the nine continents, you too must take great care!"
zhou yi, having been entrusted with many final wishes, had learned to respond in kind and appeared earnest as if he might not return.
half a month later.
whirring...
the sound of the fire seed starting spread for miles as it slowly left the port.
all passengers on board, crammed on the deck and at the windows, gazed out, etching the scene before them in their memories.
many brought soil from the nine continents with them, knowing that if they ever returned in this life, they would pass this handful of home soil to their descendants, a constant reminder of their bloodline’s origins.
