Free Web NovelChapter 575: Chapter 573: Devouring the Taboo, the Divine Sparrow Astounded
"You want to try to directly imprison the manifested forbidden power?"
The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow thought of Xu Yang’s spirit mark, which possessed formidable sealing power!
He didn’t even dare imagine refining it!
"Maybe it’s worth trying to refine," Xu Yang said bluntly, not hiding anything.
Once he fought with full force, the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, and spirit marks—these methods could not be concealed.
Powerful figures of the Spirit Realm were extraordinary; most could sense something unusual!
So, since he wouldn’t reveal the origins of these methods anyway, there was no need to hide them.
Besides, in such a bizarre place, Xu Yang dared not hope to sweep through relying only on himself!
If he really could, exposing a few secrets might actually be a good thing.
"Refine..."
The Divine Sparrow was visibly shaken.
Swoosh!
He suddenly revealed his true form, shrinking into a blood-red sparrow the size of a palm and floated beside Xu Yang, staring at him strangely, "Don’t you go crazy, boy. Even if you have some special means, the taboo here has even left peak Shenxiao and Celestial Beings almost helpless!"
Especially since it’s related to the Immortal Dao!
Trying to refine it?
That’s just a joke!
Xu Yang chuckled, "Relax, senior. I won’t do anything reckless."
"Whether it’s possible or not, we’ll have to find it first!"
"But I doubt it’s that easy to find a manifested forbidden power."
The Divine Sparrow stared blankly at Xu Yang for a long while before finally exhaling.
He was honestly afraid he’d ended up with a reckless fool.
But thankfully, Xu Yang was clearly not a reckless fool.
To have this thought, there must be some basis.
If he truly managed it...
Tch!
The Divine Sparrow quietly drew a breath—regardless of anything else, just this alone would mean an enormous harvest on this Immortal-fallen Ancient Continent.
"Kid, let’s split up and explore."
The Divine Sparrow’s eyes shifted as he pondered aloud, "I’ll leave a mark on you; if anything happens, I’ll sense it instantly. If you find anything, I can also find you through the mark."
"Alright!"
Xu Yang had no objection.
Next, the Divine Sparrow branded a mark on Xu Yang’s wrist, shaped like a tiny blood-red sparrow.
Having done all this, he spread his wings and sped ahead, though he didn’t dare fly too high.
Xu Yang watched the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow leave, then calmed his mind and moved forward alone.
Though he didn’t fly, his pace was swift.
Of course, compared to the vastness of this ancient land, his speed was doubtlessly slow.
Plains, fissures, mountains, valleys, ruins...
Xu Yang pressed onward, exploring the surroundings.
Every sight and sensation was bathed in utter dead stillness!
Across the sprawling mountains and rivers, not a blade of grass or tree could be seen!
The whole ancient continent felt as if only martial artists from the Spirit Realm like them brought any sign of life here.
Reaching a broken wall, Xu Yang’s steps paused and his expression grew grave.
This broken wall was nothing special, all gray and white.
Yet it sent a wave of dread through him, more intense than usual.
As if the taboo threat here far exceeded other places; step inside and you might discover some indescribable danger.
He’d felt this sensation several times along the way.
But even after carefully probing the edges, he’d gained nothing—there was simply nothing there.
Almost as if the threat originated from another, different space!
"Not to mention refining—even finding it is impossible."
Xu Yang sighed with a wry smile.
He’d been exploring for four days. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
He didn’t know if the others had found anything, but he certainly hadn’t.
What’s more, he hadn’t even located ancient artifact fragments or the like.
"Though it looks like a battlefield, could the environment here just be the edge of one, shaped by battlefield aura?"
No wonder he’d guess that.
If it were the true battlefield, it wouldn’t be this intact.
And besides, this taboo is shapeless, hard to find; if its source is some law of heaven and earth, or the will shed by a fallen immortal, naturally it would manifest at the real battlefield’s core.
With that, it all made sense.
While Xu Yang was frowning in thought, his wrist suddenly heated up!
"Hm?"
Xu Yang rolled up his sleeve and revealed the mark on his wrist.
He saw the blood-red sparrow suddenly twist, as if it had come alive. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Could Senior Divine Sparrow have found something?" Xu Yang’s heart jumped.
"Kid, stay where you are. I’ve found something!"
A cryptic ripple emanated from the mark.
Xu Yang shuddered all over, surprise lighting his face.
The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow had found something.
No matter what it was, it was undoubtedly the best news he’d heard in days.
Immediately, Xu Yang stopped traveling and waited in place.
About an hour or so passed.
A blood shadow whisked across the ground, racing straight toward him.
Given the Divine Sparrow’s power, even cautious, his speed far surpassed Xu Yang’s.
In four days, he’d covered nearly dozens of times Xu Yang’s territory!
"Senior, what did you find?"
Seeing the Divine Sparrow, Xu Yang rushed to greet him impatiently.
The Blood Ming Divine Sparrow appeared, his look odd. "Some corpse fragments. Even I’m not sure what to make of them!"
"Corpse fragments?"
Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed as a thought flashed through his mind. "Senior, quick, take me to see!"
"Let’s go!"
The Divine Sparrow didn’t waste words. His small wings flapped, and a band of blood-red swept out, wrapping Xu Yang and carrying him onward.
After more than an hour.
They arrived at a field of shattered ridged bones; the ground looked rock-hard, as if struck by a giant hammer—fractured, yet not broken apart.
On the fractured surface, Xu Yang immediately spotted a piece of bone hanging on the crack’s edge.
One glance told Xu Yang it was definitely ’bone’.
The bone was brownish, covered in mottled cracks and impossible to describe.
"That’s it."
The Divine Sparrow hovered with flapping wings, staring at the fragment, and then cocked his head: "This one looks like a piece of arm bone; there’s a bigger chunk over there."
"I didn’t dare touch it myself!"
Though living in Xu Yang’s body, he’d heard all Stonepeak’s warnings loud and clear—he wouldn’t dare get reckless just for having peak Shenxiao Realm power!
Besides, various Pupil Techniques couldn’t uncover a thing.
Xu Yang approached cautiously, heart pounding.
Just as before, he felt the invisible taboo threat.
"Senior, have you noticed that the threatening feeling from this object seems a bit weaker than that of those strange empty places?" Xu Yang suddenly spoke.
The sensation struck him as bizarre.
The Divine Sparrow’s eyes flashed: "I felt it too."
"Along the way, I sensed that strong threat in other spots, but found nothing."
"Same here."
Xu Yang nodded slightly, moving closer, but nothing unexpected happened.
He stared fixedly at the bone fragment.
"Kid, don’t try anything reckless," the Divine Sparrow warned in a low voice.
"Don’t worry, senior. I know what I’m doing."
Xu Yang nodded slightly.
After pondering a while, Xu Yang’s eyes brightened.
Soon, with a thought, he summoned a Life Fire Elixir.
This elixir was refined from his Minghuo, imbued with ancient Evil Qi, Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, and the Heaven-locking Spirit Mark.
In other words, it was connected to all the special methods he possessed.
If it actually worked, this pill would reveal something.
If anything went wrong, it wouldn’t hurt his real body.
The Divine Sparrow looked in surprise at the pill in Xu Yang’s hand.
Xu Yang then nodded up at the Divine Sparrow.
The latter retreated at once.
A peak Shenxiao, acting like this in the Spirit Realm, would be a laughingstock.
But in this place, no one would blame him.
At the same time, Xu Yang also backed off.
Only after retreating a hundred meters did Xu Yang sober his expression, take a deep breath, then pinch the pill and hurl it at the fragment.
Swoosh!
The Life Fire Elixir shot toward the bone fragment like lightning.
Xu Yang and Divine Sparrow held their breath in unison, eyes wide, staring fixedly, every muscle taut—they were ready to run at a moment’s notice.
As the pill touched the bone fragment—
Pop!
The pill shuddered, and with Xu Yang exerting no control, unleashed its full force.
Crack!
The pill burst apart, Minghuo, chains, Evil Qi flooding out together.
And then they instantly engulfed the bone fragment.
