Li Fuchen released his spiritual awareness to sense the surrounding environment carefully.
“Be careful, there is another shadow corpse.”
Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness was at the elite Primary Sea Realm monarch’s level, or even beyond. Without releasing his spiritual awareness, his senses weren’t comparable to Lei Donghai. But once he released his spiritual awareness, Lei Donghai could never hope to catch up.
After sweeping with his spiritual awareness, there were slight waves that came from the void. The waves were extremely concealed and if he didn’t observe carefully, it was impossible to detect it.
Furthermore, there were actually two places where the waves came from. It was obvious that there were two shadow corpses in the vicinity.
“Two?”
Lei Donghai’s face changed abruptly. He had also released his spiritual awareness but he couldn’t detect a single shadow corpse. He was able to see the previous because the shadow corpse had already revealed some traces. Now that he was at the Primary Sea Realm, his raw senses were a little more sensitive.
Tss!
Li Fuchen reacted very quickly. The moment he discovered the shadow corpses, he slashed twice in a row. Two scarlet threads sliced at the bodies of the shadow corpses.
The shadow corpses had very low defense and were immediately split into two parts. They were like candlesticks that were incinerated by the sword qi.
“They are killed?” Lei Donghai and the others looked at Li Fuchen.
They were only able to see the shadow corpses with their eyes when the shadow corpses were killed.
Li Fuchen said, “These two shadow corpses aren’t high in class. I reckon they are only high-class shadow corpses.”
The trio had a change of expression after hearing so. High-class shadow corpses were already so difficult to handle, what should they expect from peak-class shadow corpses or even shadow corpse kings?
It was especially shocking for Lei Donghai. Even though he didn’t attack with his full strength because he was afraid of hurting Gu Jiuye earlier, he still used a significant amount of his strength. However, he wasn’t able to kill the shadow corpse and that made him feel startled.
Li Fuchen continued. “The shadow corpse doesn’t have a physical body. To deal with them, a sufficiently strong intent is required.”
Lei Donghai might be at the 1st level of Primary Sea Realm, but his laws and intents weren’t comparable to Li Fuchen.
“So that is the reason.” Lei Donghai nodded and felt that this explanation was rather reasonable.
With the physique of the brightness bone frame, Gu Jiuye could remove the shadow power that was left behind on her body by the shadow corpse. If it was someone else, they would need to remove at least a layer of their skin.
Seeing the situation, Li Fuchen said, “Senior Gu, your brightness intent should be able to restrain the shadow corpses. Once I sense the shadow corpses later, you will immediately burst out with your qi.”
“Okay.” Gu Jiuye nodded.
The four of them continued to advance while Li Fuchen maintained his spiritual awareness at a fixed radius of one mile.
This radius would use up the least amount of his spiritual awareness.
“Senior Gu.” Li Fuchen quickly informed when a few traces of waves could be felt by his spiritual awareness.
Gu Jiuye immediately burst out with resplendent radiance and illuminated the entire place. A few faint shadows appeared in the illumination and there was no place for them to hide. At the same moment, the shadows rapidly disintegrated under the intense brightness intent.
Just as Li Fuchen mentioned, Gu Jiuye’s brightness intent was indeed able to restrain the shadow corpses and could eliminate them on a large scale.
This was something that even Li Fuchen couldn’t compare with Gu Jiuye.
The first shadow corpse was able to sneak onto Gu Jiuye because she was only supporting her qi protection. The qi protection might contain the technique intent, but her cultivation technique wasn’t a brightness technique, it was a yang attribute technique, therefore, the restraining effects were very mild.
This was the awkward part of having special bone frames.
In this world, it was very rare to find special cultivation techniques that could bring out the greatest potential of special bone frames. Cultivation techniques like brightness technique, darkness technique, sword dao techniques, saber dao techniques, or others.
There were many special bone frames that would need to reach the high levels of Primary Sea Realm or Law Phase Realm before creating their own cultivation technique.
Of course, there were also very fortunate people who obtained the special cultivation techniques that were left behind by the predecessors. It would save them plenty of time.
With Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness and Gu Jiuye’s brightness intent, the rest of the journey was very smooth. No matter how many shadow corpses came, they were the same as weak critters in the face of Gu Jiuye’s brightness intent.
“Be careful. It should be a shadow corpse king this time.” Li Fuchen’s spiritual awareness felt a wave that made his heart palpitate.
The dazzling radiance burst out. Gu Jiuye had immediately burst out with her qi that contained the brightness intent as soon as Li Fuchen spoke.
But this time, the illumination didn’t force the shadow corpse king to reveal its body. Instead, there were ‘tss tss tss’ sounds coming from the void.
In the next moment, a giant shadow enveloped Li Fuchen’s group like a net.
“He!” Gu Jiuye let out a deep yell and burst out with a radiance that was several times more intense.
In the face of this intense radiance, the shadow corpse king gradually faded and let out a miserable shriek.
The brightness power was extracted from the brightness dao laws and it was extremely pure and horrific. It wasn’t exaggerating to say that it was the materialization of the brightness dao laws. This was several times stronger than the qi that contained brightness intent. Even the shadow corpse king couldn’t withstand it.
“Incineration Sword!”
Li Fuchen brandished his sword and produced countless scarlet blisters. The blisters contained heaven class blazing sword intent.
Bang Bang Bang Bang….
When the blisters exploded, the shadow corpse king rapidly disintegrated.
This was the first king-class existence the four of them had killed in the Latent Shadow Abyss. If it was a berserk corpse king, they would have been exhausted to death and still wouldn’t be able to kill it.
Subsequently, Li Fuchen and Gu Jiuye worked together to eliminate low-class shadow corpse kings.
In fact, they had also eliminated a mid-class shadow corpse king.
In the face of Gu Jiuye’s brightness divine ability and Li Fuchen’s heaven class blazing sword intent, even the mid-class shadow corpse king was injured. As for high-class shadow corpse kings, they wouldn’t appear in such places.
Of course, even though they knew that it wouldn’t be that easy to encounter a high-class shadow corpse king, with the pressure for survival in crisis, they were constantly in a high tension state. Their only thought right now was to look for an exit.
“Not good, a spiritual awareness just scanned over us.”
On this day, Li Fuchen’s face changed as he informed the others.
“Spiritual awareness? Could it be a Primary Sea Realm monarch who came here to explore?”
Lei Donghai and the others also had a quick change in expressions.
Primary Sea Realm monarchs weren’t berserk corpse kings or shadow corpse kings.
The berserk corpse kings would be affected by illusion arts, while shadow corpse kings were restrained by the brightness intent. Those were the crucial reasons they had survived until this moment.
However, if they encountered a Primary Sea Realm monarch, all of their natural advantages would be negated.
After extending his spiritual awareness from one mile to dozens of miles, Li Fuchen discovered the owner of the spiritual awareness.
It was a Primary Sea Realm monarch who looked like a savage with dishevelled hair. According to his qi presence, his cultivation would be around the 6th level of Primary Sea Realm.
“Haha, my luck is rather good. Hand over your storage bags and I can spare your lives.” Wild Beast Monarch grinned as he appeared in front of the four of them.
“We entered the Latent Shadow Abyss by mistake and didn’t obtain any high-grade spirit stones.” Lei Donghai didn’t think that the enemy would spare their lives if they handed over their storage bags. If he couldn’t even see through this deception, then he didn’t have to venture outside.
“For you to survive until this moment, it means that you have some capability. I don’t wish to waste my time speaking nonsense. It doesn’t matter if you have high-grade spirit stones or not, hand over your storage bags.” While speaking, the Wild Beast Monarch looked at Gu Jiuye with ravenous eyes and said, “Also, leave this woman behind for me.”
“Senior Lei, when I execute my spiritual awareness attack later, you will attack him immediately.” Li Fuchen transmitted a message to Lei Donghai.
“Okay.” Lei Donghai secretly circulated his qi.
