Sage of Humanity
Chapter 842 - 840 Passion Overflowing

Earlier, three people killed an Iron Corpse Commander, and Lu Ye received over ten thousand points of battle merit, barely enough to exchange for a gold-hued spirit fortune stick.

Judging from the gains from killing the Iron Corpse Commander, the battle merit earned from killing the Golden Corpse King, even if substantial, should only amount to tens of thousands.

But in truth, this was not the case.

The reward for killing the Golden Corpse King far exceeded expectations.

This must have something to do with the fact that the Golden Corpse King was the origin of the corpse plague on the Unparalleled Continent. Eliminating the Golden Corpse King cleared the biggest obstacle to eradicating the corpse plague, making subsequent tasks much simpler.

The Nine Provinces cultivators, like fierce wolves and tigers, continuously arrived in waves, presumably it wouldn't be long before the entire Unparalleled Continent was purged of the Corpse Race.

The thousand-year wish of the Ziwei Dao Palace could finally be realized.

Upon hearing Lan Ziyi's query, Lu Ye didn't even look up: "If you want it, take it."

Lan Ziyi decisively refused: "No thanks!"

With her eyesight, she naturally could see the extraordinary nature of the severed palm, but though the item was good, one needed the capability to wield it. The final tragic state of the Golden Corpse King was still fresh in her memory; how could she not know that this item was beyond her current ability to control.

The fierce battle here had already attracted many Nine Provinces cultivators nearby to investigate, but until the dust settled, no one dared to approach due to the terrifying aftermath of the fight.

Now that the battle had ended, many people showed up, but only observed from a distance, not daring to come closer.

Lu Ye continued to investigate his battlefield marking, finding several messages remaining within.

Upon a brief inspection, he discovered they were messages from his fourth senior brother.

After some exchange, Lu Ye found out that Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan also arrived on the Unparalleled Continent!

Considering it, it wasn't surprising. The Great Reversal Valley Spirit Ground had Heaven's Augury Pillars, and having them naturally connected to the Unparalleled Continent.

This time on the Cloud River battlefield, nearly all the locations with Heaven's Augury Pillars had their portals to the Unparalleled Continent opened, facilitating Nine Provinces cultivators to enter and eradicate the Corpse Race.

However, Li Baxian currently only knew he was near the Ziwei Dao Palace, but couldn't specify his exact location. He was utterly unfamiliar with the Unparalleled Continent, suddenly arriving here, how could he know where he was, and it was a prime time to kill the Corpse Race and earn battle merits, leaving little time for intelligence gathering.

Fourth senior brother in the Ziwei Dao Palace? Lu Ye found it curious.

But soon, he thought of something and felt relieved.

While communicating with Li Baxian, a sword cry, like thunder, quickly approached from afar, arriving in the blink of an eye.

As the sword light dissipated, two figures appeared.

One was Muk Qingyun, the other was Hua Ci.

Upon receiving Lan Ziyi's call for help, Hua Ci immediately set out, but as a healing cultivator traveling alone would face many inconveniences, Muk Qingyun took the initiative to escort her. As a sword cultivator, his speed was undoubtedly fast, arriving just in time with Hua Ci.

"Why are you so badly injured again?"

Seeing the disheveled Lu Ye, Hua Ci hurriedly approached to check his wounds.

"Inspect Giant Armor first, I'm not seriously hurt." Lu Ye pointed to Giant Armor lying beside them.

Hua Ci nodded and went to Giant Armor, checking him and channeling spirit force to heal him.

"You guys... killed the Golden Corpse King?" Muk Qingyun glanced at the remnants of the battlefield and the body with severed parts, realizing it belatedly.

Although he didn't personally participate, judging by the injuries of the three and the traces left on the battlefield, it was clear this had been a tough battle.

He couldn't help but feel a bit regretful, missing out on such a grand occasion was a real pity.

But he had been poisoned by Primordial Corpse Poison earlier, urgently needing Hua Ci to detoxify him, which left no alternative, it was simply unfortunate timing.

While they were busy, many Corpse Race members were fleeing in panic inside and outside the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, relentlessly pursued by Nine Provinces cultivators along with Dao Palace and stronghold cultivators.

Huntian Holy Temple was the Corpse Race's largest stronghold on the Unparalleled Continent, where the Golden Corpse King had long been slumbering, with three major Corpse Commanders constantly by his side.

Now that the Golden Corpse King was slain and the three major Corpse Commanders successively eliminated, although there were still some powerful entities among the remaining ordinary Corpse Race, they were unlikely to make any significant waves and would be hunted down soon enough.

On the battlefield where the Dao Palace was located, a solitary Soaring Dragon Ark hovered in the sky, the weak-breathing Pang Huanyin silently recovering while gazing at the spectacular battlefield below, lost in rapture.

During the previous fierce battle, she had almost drained herself completely, exterminating more Corpse Race members than she had ever killed before.

Now, though she still had the desire to kill more enemies, she lacked the strength, so she could only rest and recover.

Veteran Siao wasn't much better off than she was, the old and young duo watched the battle below, their expressions weary but their eyes brimming with delight.

For they finally saw the day when the corpse plague would be purged, and the millennia of persistence and effort from Ziwei Dao Palace finally bore meaning.

At this moment, there were still scattered Nine Provinces cultivators emerging from various portals, joining the ranks to hunt down the Corpse Race.

Veteran Siao was somewhat curious: "Palace Master, these guests from the Nine Provinces seem to be very enthusiastic about exterminating the Corpse Race. Did they encounter the corpse plague before as well?"

Enthusiastic was an understatement, they were overflowing with passion!

When the Nine Provinces cultivators first stepped into this realm, there had been considerable casualties and deaths, but these setbacks did not diminish their determination and zeal to kill the enemies.

From Siao's perspective, these Nine Provinces cultivators appeared to have a deep-rooted hatred for the Corpse Race, determined to obliterate them completely.

As a result, the main force fighting the enemies now consisted of these visiting guests, while the native Dao Palace and stronghold cultivators became secondary.

If any Corpse Race tried to escape, those Nine Provinces cultivators would relentlessly pursue them far and wide.

"Not really, but apparently, they can earn something called battle merits by killing the Corpse Race," Pang Huanyin explained, having heard this from Hua Ci not long ago.

Observing the battlefield below earlier, Pang Huanyin noticed that despite the significant number of Nine Provinces cultivators, they mostly formed teams of varying sizes, failing to establish a proper army. She worried that this lack of formation might cause their morale to shatter during major setbacks or when facing formidable enemies, leading to disastrous consequences.

But Hua Ci reassured her that even if the Nine Provinces cultivators didn't form a battle array, they wouldn't suffer large-scale retreats when faced with the Corpse Race, driven by the incentive of battle merits, which was the most effective motivation.

"Battle merits?" Veteran Siao queried, puzzled.

"Nine Provinces cultivators seem to be able to exchange battle merits for various cultivation resources. In short, these Corpse Race members are valuable prey to them."

Veteran Siao vaguely understood: "So that's how it is!"

Across the entire Unparalleled Continent, Huntian Holy Temple's vicinity was undoubtedly the busiest. This was the Corpse Race's stronghold, housing large numbers of them, and the Nine Provinces Heaven's Augury had opened the most portals here, sending the highest number of cultivators, resulting in a fiercely fought battle.

But the other three human race secret realms were not quiet either.

The four Heaven's Augury Pillars planted by Lu Ye absorbed the Earth Vein's power, standing tall and triggering a depletion of Earth Vein energy, fully exposing the three major human race secret realms that could no longer drift hidden in the Void.

As the portals opened, the cultivators of Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru were in a panic due to the unprecedented event of portals opening in a thousand years.

The secret realm drifting in the Void had been their foundation for stable existence all these years. With the secret realm now manifesting and the portals open, they had lost their former reliance.

One could imagine the ensuing chaos.

The portals' manifestations clearly attracted nearby Corpse Race members, forcing the Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru cultivators to confront the enemies.

As Lu Ye had previously thought, the situation forced both groups to reluctantly join the fight against the Corpse Race eventually.

As for the situation at the Ziwei Dao Palace...

...it was even worse.

Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru had a stable foundation. Facing the Corpse Race attacking from all directions, their cultivators only needed to guard the portals, maintaining significant defensive capabilities.

But on the Ziwei Dao Palace side, it was different.

Earlier, Pang Huanyin had taken all the capable forces of the Dao Palace out, leaving behind only the old, weak, sickly, and ordinary people with no cultivation ability.

How could they withstand such a disaster?

If the Corpse Race broke through, everyone left in the Dao Palace would die.

At this critical moment, portals with flowing light suddenly opened near the Dao Palace secret realm. Although the number of portals was fewer than at Huntian Holy Temple, the cultivators emerging from them were still many.

Each cultivator, upon stepping into this realm, had a message explode deep in their consciousness, filling them with an understanding.

Protect the Ziwei Dao Palace!

Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan were among this batch of people, explaining Li Baxian's mention of the Ziwei Dao Palace to Lu Ye, the only information he currently had about this world.

He considered contacting Lu Ye not because he knew Lu Ye was in the Unparalleled Continent, but thinking that Lu Ye would likely be involved in such a grand event wherever he was.

Little did he know, this grand event was led by none other than Lu Ye and the nine others.

Inside the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm.

Hua Ci finished treating Giant Armor and Lu Ye's wounds, then detoxified Lan Ziyi of the Primordial Corpse Poison, finally concluding her tasks.

Without lingering much longer, she quickly left under Muk Qingyun's protection.

For her, being the sole healer able to cure the Primordial Corpse Poison, her presence had quickly spread among Nine Provinces cultivators.

During the intense battles, many cultivators were infected by the Primordial Corpse Poison, heading to Dao Palace's Soaring Dragon Ark to seek her detoxification services.

For Hua Ci, it was certainly a case of welcoming all comers.
