Chapter 235: Today was better than before.

When Xie Kui’s head exploded, a flock of warriors inside those tornados was also swallowed up and devoured by the three demon mirages.
After gathering the negative feelings, the three demon mirages inside the Gravitational Field could submerge those Earth Realm warriors in the craziness after only one strike and then easily took their lives.
The ability of these Earth Realm warriors of the Kyara Sea was no exceptional. They did not have the Martial Spirits nor secret weapons nor peculiar defensive forces, and the Gravitational Field was also confining them. They were just like a chamois waiting for being butchered.
Xie Kui’ s soft body without the head fell. A stream of spiritual power flowed out and went into Shi Yan’s meridians.
“Swoosh.”
While one of his hands grabbed the big snow-white sword and drew it out from his foot, Shi Yan looked at Xie Kui’s body without the head and cruelly said with a sarcastic tone, “You dared to fight hand-to-hand with me. You deserve to have a terrible death like this!”
With the Petrification Martial Spirit and the Immortal Martial Spirit continually being practiced and tempered, the sturdiness of Shi Yan’s body was not something that other warriors could ever imagine. None of the same level warriors could defeat Shi Yan in a hand-to-hand fight.
With the effect of the Immortal Martial Spirit, his pierced foot started recovering little by little.
Shi Yan urged the Electric Shift again. He went into the tornados, standing inside them. His Mystery Martial Spirit absorbed all the spiritual powers which were massively flowing out from the dead warriors’ corpses.
The Gravitational Field which was confining He Qing Man shrank all of sudden. As the golden-sand had blocked her vision, she didn’t know what had happened. Thus, as soon as she saw Shi Yan, she instantly launched the attacks again.
“Enough!” Shi Yan frowned and shouted. “Everyone is dead. You still want to fight?”
“Everyone is dead?” He Qing Man’s beautiful eyes were confused. “Where is my brother? You are not capable of defeating him. His Realm is higher than yours; he can also easily hide into the sand. You are not his opponent.”
“Are you talking about Xie Kui?”. Shi Yan pointed at the body without the head int the distance. “He is over there. Except for you and me, there is no one alive here”.
He Qing Man was frightened. Her prominent body quickly flew to Xie Kui’s body.
“Ah!”He Qing Man terrifyingly screamed out loud with fear.
She dazedly stood beside Xie Kui’s corpse, covering her mouth, her beautiful eyes were full of sadness. She lowered her voice and said, “He is dead, everyone is dead. The future hope of the Evil Wonderland, the pride of being the future master of the next generation has gone just like this…”
He Qing Man was stunned as if she was facing a fatal attack. She mumbled to herself with her shocked face.
Shi Yan wasn’t in a hurry to leave yet. Instead, he stood motionlessly, releasing his soul consciousness to sense the living movements around.
Shi Yan didn’t know that Xie Kui and He Qing Man had separated from Cao Zhi Lan before arriving here. He had thought that Cao Zhi Lan’s fellows were nearby. In this fight, Shi Yan had killed everyone except for He Qing Man, but he had also consumed a lot of his power. Although he was still in the Second Sky of Rampage state, he would quickly exhaust when the counter-attack spread out.
If Cao Zhi Lan was nearby, he had to immediately retreat as he couldn’t continue fighting with his current status.
He closed his eyes, released his soul consciousness and silently sensed around for a while. After being certain that there were no living movements, he felt assured and slowly walked to He Qing Man. “Where are other people?”
“Who?”. He Qing Man lifted her head up, bewilderedly looked at Shi Yan with a dark face.
“Where are Cao Zhi Lan and Pan Zhe?”. Shi Yan asked again.
“I don’t know.” He Qing Man shook her head. “We were pushed out from that Ancient Formation and were separated. You are the first one we met since then.”
Shi Yan contemplated for a while before calmly speaking, “Ok, I know. See you again next time.”
“You, where are you going?”. He Qing Man shouted.
“I don’t know.” Shi Yan stopped for a while, looking at her. “Our standpoints are conflicting. You better return to the Kyara Sea. Being alone in the Chasm Battlefield is very dangerous”.
“You’ve killed my brother; I have to avenge him.” He Qing Man sighed. “You’ve killed him; you can also take my life. Shi Yan, I couldn’t imagine how come your power could have improved that much in such a short time. I remember that when you were in the Black Rock Island, your cultivation base was only the Second Sky of the Disaster Realm. If Yang Mu didn’t save you that time, maybe you….”
Shi Yan contemplated without saying a word.
“All of them are dead. I am the only one surviving. Tell me, what others would say when they see me later?”. He Qing Man revealed a sad smile.
Shi Yan shook his head and released a sigh, “You should not go to the Chasm Battlefield.”
“I did not want to go there either.” He Qing Man gently shook her head and reluctantly said, “It was my Master’s command. If I didn’t go, it meant I didn’t obey the order. Not only would I have troubles but the He family would also be involved”.
“Hmm, you stand in between, it was not easy.” Shi Yan’s face was astounded. “Maybe Yan Mu’s fellows are not here. Perhaps I am alone in this place. Your group of pursuers might be on the way to come here. Currently, no one knows the way out of this immense desert or no clues of where to search. Hmm, we still should separate soon. If others find you being with me at the same place, I am afraid it is not good for you.”
“Even if they don’t see you and me at the same location, it is still uncomfortable to face them.” He Qing Man miserably smiled. “When we were outside the palace, Cao Zhi Lan and Pan Zhe already recognized the fake fight between Yang Xue and me. If my brother and my fellows were still alive, they would have said nothing. But now I am alone; I don’t know how those guys will treat me.”
Shi Yan knitted his brows in silence.
He suddenly said after a while, “Anyway, because you and they are allies, they may provoke you, but they will not kill you. Don’t worry, having regard for Yang Xue and Xin Yan, I will not harm you if I see you next time. I need to go now. Take care of yourself.” After speaking, Shi Yan turned around and quickly left without letting Ha Qing Man have a chance to say anything more.
After Shi Yan had absorbed all of the powers of total eleven warriors including Xie Kui, his meridians currently started refining, and powerful negative feelings also started spreading out. Perhaps he would be immersed in the craziness and lose his consciousness again.
Once losing his consciousness, he only had two options, either finding a woman to give vent or binding himself and suffering the pain alone.
The relationship among He Qing Man, Yang Xue, and Xia XinYan was superb. Because of Yang Xue, He Qing Man had been mistrusted and already sacrificed a lot. Shi Yan couldn’t consider her the target to whom he would give vent.
Moreover, as He Qing Man belonged to the Evil Wonderland, he could not completely trust her. He couldn’t let himself be unconscious next to that lady. Very dangerous.
Leaving He Qing Man, Shi Yan quickly moved towards the hottest direction in the desert as fast as the lightning.
While moving forward in the desert, he could apparently feel that the pain on his foot was fading away, and the wound was healing little by little.
Inside his meridians, the spiritual Qi of Xie Kui’s fellows was refining rapidly, different kinds of negative feelings started spreading out. Shi Yan was trying to restrain himself.
It was unknown whether because he was entering the Earth Realm or because his nerves were getting stronger that the negative feelings which were spreading out from his meridians still didn’t drive him crazy yet. It was still bearable.
Except for the heavy breaths, the reddened face, and a little pain on his head, the negative feelings did not pull him into the endlessly deep abyss nor made him unconscious this time.
A long time after that.
Familiar peculiar forces spread out from inside his meridians. 720 meridians in his entire body altogether released the energy that eased his mind. With this energy moving inside the body, he felt comfortably warm as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
This time, the Petrification Martial Spirit and the Immortal Martial Spirit didn’t take those peculiar forces. Instead, all of those forces torrentially poured into his heart.
The Star Martial Spirit!
Shi Yan’s pupils shrank. He couldn’t help but curse and immediately used his mind to control these peculiar forces’ intention in changing the direction.
Regretfully, before he could do something, his heart had already released a powerful attraction force to absorb the strange powers completely.
He suddenly stopped.
Gritting his teeth, Shi Yan silently sensed his body for a while. He then discovered that even though more and more star lights appeared in his heart, there wasn’t any transformation occurring. The Star Martial Spirit in his heart couldn’t gather the Star powers, and he didn’t know how to urge the Star Martial Spirit either. Thus, the peculiar forces pouring into his heart was such a waste.
Anyway, before he could obtain the controlling method related to the Star Martial Spirit of the Three Gods Sect, the Star Martial Spirit was helpless in increasing his forces.
“Whoosh.”
After seeing no one beside Shi Yan, the Earth Flame flew out from the Blood Vein Ring again without Shi Yan’s command.
Turning into a dazzling flame, the Earth Flame started leading the way, eagerly flying toward the hottest direction in this desert.
Shi Yan reluctantly followed it.
He had no target nor direction to seek in this desert. Therefore, following the Earth Flame was not a bad choice anyway. The Earth Flame might lead to an unknown way out. Perhaps the area that excited the Earth Flame could have something which also surprised him.
With this thought in his mind, Shi Yan followed the Earth Flame in silence although he didn’t know what was awaiting him.
Time quickly passed.
He didn’t know how long he had been following the Earth Flame in this desert, but he had already taken the Refine Pills three times because of his profound Qi being dried up. He had used all of his Profound Qi in moving in this desert, and he also had to replenish it three times. Shi Yan guessed he could have been going around in this desert for more than half a month.
This strange place had neither the Sun nor the Moon nor the Star nor the darkness, except for the glowi ng red sky.
After a long journey, he had shortened the distance between him and the hottest point. The Earth Flame was getting more excited; Shi Yan could even feel its soul shivering.
However, Shi Yan was getting weaker.
The closer he got to the hottest point, the more uncomfortable he could feel. Under the terrifying heat, even though the Heaven Flames had tempered his body, he still had to use more of his profound Qi to resist.
After having kept running like this for another while, when he nearly couldn’t sustain anymore, the Earth Flame joyfully shouted eventually. Shi Yan saw the place for which the Earth Flame had been longing.
