Chapter 832, Helpers

Very soon, they wouldn’t be fighting the enemies on their own. Many cultivators from Jiu Zhou would arrive and lend them a helping hand. Since the doors were already there, the helpers would probably come over in a short time.

The appearance of the doors made the Corpse Race members wary. Those near the doors wanted to find out what was going on, but they moved past the doors as if those were intangible things. The doors weren’t reactive at all.

Just as they were shocked and doubtful, the space within a particular door contorted. In the next instant, a figure emerged all of a sudden, followed by the second and third ones. Soon enough, even more cultivators appeared from the door. That was the same case for all other doors.

Yuan Lie was from a Tier-Five Sect in Wu Zhou. He had an excellent aptitude and was now a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master.

However, his cultivation at this point didn’t give him much competitive advantage. Therefore, he didn’t get many benefits from the Fight for Supremacy that had just ended. He could only pin his hopes on the next round, which was five years away. The amount of time would be enough for him to make it to the peak of the Cloud River Realm and accumulate enough heritage.

To achieve his goal, he needed sufficient cultivation resources. The resources given by his Sect every month weren’t enough for cultivation. That was one way the Sects in Jiu Zhou trained their disciples. Even the Tier-One Sects wouldn’t give enough resources to their disciples. Only when they lacked resources would they learn to solve problems and grow their powers.

If sufficient resources were provided, they would only produce cultivators with ample cultivation but zero experience in combat.

The opportunities on the Cloud River Battlefield and the battles against opponents from the other side were ways they got their training.

Opportunities were especially rare. Therefore, when a door that supposedly led to a Hidden Realm appeared in the Divine Trade Association, Yuan Lie also stepped into it along with everyone else.

The conveyance process was longer than usual, and he felt dizzy. During the process, a message suddenly exploded in his mind.

He had been to several Hidden Realms, so he knew that when a cultivator entered one with a world as the background, the Heavens would give him an identity so that it would be easier for him to fit in. At the same time, the cultivator would be informed of the situation in the Hidden Realm.

Therefore, when the message exploded in his mind, Yuan Lie wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, he quickly took a look.

What he saw surprised him. That was because he wasn’t given an identity, nor was he informed of the situation in the Hidden Realm. The message only said that he had to eliminate the Corpse Race members.

He had no idea what Corpse Race members were, for he had never heard of them before.

Before he could figure it out, the view around him shifted, and the longer-than-usual conveyance process ended.

The experienced cultivators knew that they should immediately activate their powers and summon their Spirit Artifacts to protect themselves. That was because no one knew what danger they would bump into when entering an unknown land.

Naturally, Yuan Lie did the same. He quickly activated his power and fished out his Spirit Artifact.

He soon heard some growling and yelling. When he lifted his gaze, he saw that many cultivators from Jiu Zhou who had arrived earlier had already gotten into a scuffle with the unknown enemies. The air was filled with a horrible stench.

He was familiar with the smell, which usually exuded from corpses that had been left exposed in the open for a long time.

As he looked at his enemies, he realised that they were mostly rotten corpses with decayed flesh. Some of them were withered and thin.

[Are they Corpse Race members? Well, they certainly look like it.]

Suddenly, a frail-looking female cultivator bent over and puked. Her face was pale, and she could hardly stand stably. It was apparent that she had never been in such a big fight and had never seen such revolting enemies before.

A withered Corpse Race member growled and pounced on the female cultivator before snatching her away. A dexterous Yuan Lie shot forward and slashed at the Corpse Race member with his sword.

The other party didn’t dodge his attack at all. He let the sword strike his chest and grabbed the female cultivator’s head.

Her head exploded like a watermelon that had been squeezed. Yuan Lie felt his eyelids twitching as he looked at that.

…

Since it was their first time dealing with such strange creatures, many cultivators from Jiu Zhou suffered a setback. That was because the vital parts for Humans weren’t applicable to the Corpse Race members. They were basically walking dead. If these cultivators wanted to kill them, they had to behead them or destroy them completely.

Many of the first batch of cultivators from Jiu Zhou were injured or killed, but there were even more cultivators coming over. Faced with their common enemies, they set aside the differences between the Grand Sky Coalition and Thousand Demon Ridge. They used all the skills they knew, and the experienced cultivators led the people who came later to strengthen their defence lines.

Following the initial chaos, the cultivators from Jiu Zhou built their respective barriers in front of all the doors. As more and more people joined them, the barriers were strengthened, and they were starting to have the power to counterattack.

It was rare that an epic battle broke out right from the beginning in a Hidden Realm. Usually, a Hidden Realm in Jiu Zhou was a destroyed world, and the cultivators would go through the time silhouette of a particular period. There would be a phase when they could get used to the Hidden Realm. However, the Peerless Continent was an exception.

Since the cultivators from Jiu Zhou were not prepared, they inevitably suffered a setback. That said, no one backed down. That was because they immediately discovered that they could obtain battle points by killing these Corpse Race members.

The cultivators from Jiu Zhou had an unquenchable desire for battle points. Therefore, even though quite a number of people were dead, and the battle was intense, they were still fervent.

Like fire in the wilderness, the cultivators from Jiu Zhou madly activated their powers and spread their enthusiasm in all directions.

Outside the Muddy Sky Temple, on the battlefield where the cultivators from Purple Star Palace and the bases were located, the three Soaring Dragon Boats were mostly ruined.

The defence circle they had formed using the three boats was almost destroyed by the Corpse Race members. If not for the fact that Pang Huanyin wasn’t willing to abandon Lu Ye and the others, who were inside the Muddy Sky Temple, she would’ve ordered everyone to retreat.

However, Lu Ye and the others never appeared again after they entered the Muddy Sky Temple. As such, Pang Huanyin couldn’t bring herself to leave them behind.

While Lu Ye and the others were in a perilous situation in the Muddy Sky Temple, it was the same case for the people from Purple Star Palace and the bases.

It wasn’t until the arrival of cultivators from Jiu Zhou that their predicament was solved.

Hovering in mid-air, Pang Huanyin and Elder Xiao watched in shock as the unknown figures appeared from the doors. There was no doubt they were flabbergasted.

Initially, they were at an absolute disadvantage, and many cultivators from the Palace and the bases were killed. But with the arrival of these helpers, the situation seemed to have turned around in a short time.

“Cultivator Hua, who are they?” Realising something, Pang Huanyin turned to look at Hua Ci, who was heavily guarded.

As the only Medical Cultivator who could dispel Source Corpse Poison, Hua Ci was well-protected. Since the beginning of the epic battle, a group of cultivators from the Palace had been exclusively protecting her.

Presently, she was treating a cultivator who was struck with Source Corpse Poison. Her hand only hovered above the person’s chest for a moment, and his poison was dispelled.

No one noticed that while Hua Ci eliminated the poison for them, her cultivation was also slowly improving.

Her inheritance was mysterious. She could cultivate by consuming poisons, and it was more effective than relying on Spiritual Qi. Corpse Poison was also poison, after all.

To Hua Ci, the Peerless Continent was a better place than Five Poisons Pond for her to cultivate.

Moreover, while getting rid of the poison, she could obtain a certain amount of battle points. This came as a surprise to her. Having said that, unlike an average cultivator, her desire for battle points wasn’t so strong.

Upon hearing Pang Huanyin’s question, she replied with a smile, “They’re from Jiu Zhou. I suppose Lu Ye has succeeded. He’ll probably bring back some good news soon.”

Although Pang Huanyin had some speculation in mind, she still fell into a dazed state upon getting confirmation from Hua Ci.

Standing beside her, Elder Xiao muttered under his breath, “There really is Jiu Zhou!”

Previously, Pang Huanyin had told him about Jiu Zhou and mentioned that Lu Ye and the others came from that world.

Since it was Pang Huanyin who said that, he chose to believe her. Moreover, Lu Ye and the others indeed didn’t look like cultivators that the Peerless Continent could produce.

A doubt remained in his heart as he hadn’t seen any evidence with his eyes, but not anymore.

More and more cultivators appeared from the doors. Although their powers varied, there was a staggering number of them.

They were all clad in beautiful clothes and holding fine Spirit Artifacts. Also, they seemed to belong to different factions and come from different backgrounds. Despite that, they could still work well together on such a chaotic battlefield and form such closely knitted battle arrays.

These cultivators from Jiu Zhou seemed to be born for war.

Casting her thoughts away, Pang Huanyin sported a determined expression as she said firmly, “Cultivators from the Palace and the bases, the Corpse Race members have been harassing the Peerless Continent for a long time, and it’s time for us to eliminate them. Now that we have the help of guests from Jiu Zhou, we, the local cultivators, aren’t supposed to stay on the sidelines.”

“Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!”

Pang Huanyin slowly raised her sword and pointed at the battlefield. “This is our homeland, the Peerless Continent. We’re the cultivators born and bred in this place. While others are risking their lives to protect our home, we can’t just be spectators.”

“Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!”

A smile played on Pang Huanyin’s lips. She had calmed down, but her voice was still firm. “Let’s go and kill them all!”

The next instant, she took the initiative to charge forward. They had been passively defending themselves. Now, they finally had the chance to counterattack.

Behind her, the cultivators from the Palace and the bases turned into lights of different colours. Like an ocean of Stars, they streamed towards the battlefield.

In front of the doors, the cultivators from Jiu Zhou saw that Pang Huanyin and a large group of people were coming over. They were puzzled as to where this powerful force came from.

They soon cast their worries away. Regardless of where those people came from, they were Humans, after all.

The only goal for the cultivators from Jiu Zhou was to eliminate the Corpse Race.
