Free Web NovelChapter 524: Chapter 267: Corpse Body Shakes the Soul Artifact, We Are on the Same Side
"Master Zhu, this person’s origins are unknown. There must be a reason. Are you hoping others will let him off the hook?" Qi Qiantian sent the message again, without any hesitation.
Master Zhu’s face tensed, once again caught in a dilemma.
Qi Qiantian continued, "As long as Master Zhu sends someone to interfere with Du Guan and the others, I will handle this corpse cultivator. Earlier, I did not use my Divine Soul Secret Technique nor did I exert my full strength. If I do, I can certainly defeat him. Besides, with the Domain Lord’s backing, even if I can’t kill him, he wouldn’t dare to act against Master Zhu. I’ll bear all the consequences, so there’s no need for worries, Master Zhu."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhu hesitated a bit internally. Nonetheless, Qi Qiantian’s reasoning was sound. Blocking one’s path is a deep grudge; how could Du Guan and his companions let it slide easily?
Even if they momentarily accepted her compensation and apology, corpse cultivators, being sinister and vengeful, might strike from the shadows later.
Thinking of this, Master Zhu’s resolve gradually strengthened, and he quickly crushed the Signal Talisman within his storage bag. Each time, a Fake Pill Cultivator proficient in Curse Techniques would secretly prepare to ensure that Core Formation would always be at the hands of Great Sect Disciples and descendants of Golden Core cultivators, preventing any Loose Cultivators from affecting their momentum.
Thus, there was no need for further messaging; the Fake Pill Cultivator understood his intention.
At this moment, Wen Jiu also sensed the communication between the two and noticed Qi Qiantian’s growing hidden intent to kill. This troubled Wen Jiu, who really did not want to use corpse qi, as it would complicate the tribulation crossing of his two corpses.
"Isn’t it better to live?"
Within Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu sighed.
At this moment, East Spring Undying Bone also made a move, flashing directly towards Qi Qiantian, relying solely on its corpse body to reduce corpse qi consumption. In the blink of an eye, East Spring Undying Bone reached Qi Qiantian, delivering a punch.

However, Qi Qiantian, after all, was an old mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. When East Spring Undying Bone threw its punch, Golden Core power quickly protected him. Yet, the Protective Golden Core Power shattered instantly, startling Qi Qiantian enough to hurriedly summon a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact to shield himself, but he still fell from hundreds of meters high.
Boom—
The ground cracked, and rocks collapsed.
Master Zhu, being the closest, was greatly astonished and hastily retreated. He never expected the other party to act so decisively.
Indeed.
Such a ruthless corpse cultivator surely wouldn’t let things go.
"Bold corpse cultivator, disturbing the core formation of cultivators from the West Mountain Floating Domain!" Master Zhu exclaimed as he retreated, simultaneously alarming nearby Spirit Suppressing Army and speaking for the tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators and Immortal City cultivators observing.
In the next moment—
Qi Qiantian suddenly flew out from the ruins, discarding the shattered Protective Golden Core Power, wielding a Tier Three Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, and angrily continued, "Disturbing the core formation of West Mountain Floating Domain cultivators, surely a spy from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. Everyone, retreat quickly. As a Golden Core Zhenren, it is my responsibility to ensure your safety!"
After saying this grand statement, Qi Qiantian fully activated his Golden Core Power, wielding his Tier Three Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, unleashing a storm-like sword light towards East Spring Undying Bone. Wen Jiu listened to these words, glanced at the sword light, sneered lightly, too lazy to explain anything—what did it matter if they branded him a spy with a few words?
He didn’t care.
Because the identity of the corpse cultivator didn’t even have a formal name; giving it up meant nothing.
"After you die, I will use your descendants to nourish corpses," Wen Jiu replied indifferently, as East Spring Unbinding Bone shattered a swath of sword light and advanced amidst the storm-like sword qi.
Qi Qiantian was greatly shocked. His Golden Autumn Sword was a Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, Tier Three Mid-grade, utilizing the Qi Family’s finest Golden Core Sword Technique.
The combination of the two should, even without using the Divine Soul Secret Technique, easily contend with an early-stage Body Cultivator. Yet now, there was no turning back. Qi Qiantian wielded the Golden Autumn Sword once more, as its sword light spanned three thousand meters, slicing the heavens with ferocity eclipsing the thunderous clouds of the tribulation, overshadowing the mighty threat of the hundred-mile thundercloud.
"I’ll see if your early-stage Spirit Body can withstand my Silent Extinction Sword Radiance." freewebnøvel.com
This technique—
Had once overwhelmed mid-stage Great Demons.
But it would also consume fifty percent of his Golden Core’s magical power.
However, Wen Jiu did not retreat. The supposed Silent Extinction Sword Radiance was, at worst, comparable to the Thunder Tribulation when crossing the core formation. Now that the True Spirit of East Spring Undying Bone was enhanced by demonic energy, relying solely on its corpse body, it feared not this technique.
Not using any Escape Technique, Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone, advancing unopposed, shattering the Silent Extinction Sword Radiance that shook the heavens and caused spectators to marvel, while Master Zhu looked on in terror, confronting Qi Qiantian whose expression had drastically changed.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"You’re merely at the early stage of a Golden Core!"
East Spring Undying Bone continued its flight, traversing the Silent Extinction Sword Radiance effortlessly like a stream, leaving not even a scratch on its corpse body. Yet, despite his astonishment, Qi Qiantian did not retreat.
For he still had not used his Divine Soul Secret Technique.
Throughout the West Mountain Floating Domain, people only knew of his Divine Soul Techniques that could make Lu Feng and Zang Qianjian retreat, oblivious to his reluctance to fully reveal his power and attract undue envy, hence, not using his Divine Soul Secret Technique.
Without a Soul-Protecting Spiritual Artifact, facing the Divine Soul Secret Technique, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator couldn’t withstand it.
The more extraordinary this corpse cultivator appeared, the less Qi Qiantian could afford any restraints. This corpse cultivator was no Lu Feng—Lu Feng, being an old fox, understood to never flaunt when without absolute overwhelming power, resulting in contention without mortal conflict between their factions.
