The place where the seventh Corpse Ancestor statue was located was very quiet.
Usually, there were no violent fluctuations in this place, and the Sea Corpse Clan did not allow their clansmen to break through in this place.
Therefore, this place was quiet all year round.
Healing also required qualifications. Unless one was a person of noble status, only those who had performed meritorious deeds in the clan would be allowed to come to the blood pool below the statue to heal. This was why there were not many cultivators here.
Now that it was a time of war, there were more cultivators. But even so, this place was still quiet as usual, and no one dared to be disrespectful here.
At the same time, over the years, there had been very few cases of outsiders sneaking into the Sea Corpse Clan's holy land. After all, it was too difficult to break in under the layers of protection and the screening array.
However, this kind of thing was rare, but it was not impossible. In the history of the Sea Corpse Clan, similar things had happened several times.
In the past, the purpose of those who sneaked into this place was not to absorb the blood pool here, but for the statue itself.
The nine statues of the Sea Corpse Clan were made of extremely special materials that were rare in the world. It seemed that only these nine statues had such materials, so it attracted the curiosity and spying of many clans.
However, the material of these statues was extremely strong, and even if they were shattered, they could quickly recover. In addition, not everyone in the Sea Corpse Clan could suppress them, so they were well-preserved.
Of course, if the intruder's strength was shocking, they could still shatter them, but most of them would not sneak in. They could rely on their own strength to ask for the cooperation of the Sea Corpse Clan.
At the same time, once the material of these statues left the island of the Sea Corpse Clan, it would turn into an ordinary object and lose its mystery.
Therefore, as time passed, and after many explorations by powerful clans, the nine statues were finally preserved by the Sea Corpse Clan, and gradually, there were not many people who cared about them.
Because of their self-recovery, they did not seem to be missing anything.
Of course, there were also rumors that the Sea Corpse Clan originally had more than nine statues, but now the Sea Corpse Clan only preserved nine statues.
But in any case, for the Sea Corpse Clan, this was their sacred object, and they were full of disgust for anyone who had ideas about the sacred object.
Even if the sacred object could not be harmed, this kind of thing was still a kind of humiliation in the eyes of the Sea Corpse Clan.
The most recent infiltration took place a hundred years ago. That infiltrator was still at the Foundation Establishment stage at the time. He used some unknown method to absorb a large amount of spirit liquid and escaped with his life.
Afterward, the Sea Corpse Clan was furious and chased after him for many years. However, that person was also extremely talented. After escaping danger time and time again, he was taken in as a son-in-law by a great figure. Because of this, the Sea Corpse Clan had no choice but to put this matter on hold for a while. However, after that, they became even more vigilant.
That Foundation Establishment Cultivator had risen to prominence over the past hundred years, becoming the Lord of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Bloodshot Eyes.
Today, the events that had happened in the past once again appeared beside the seventh Corpse Ancestor Statue of the Sea Corpse Clan.
Xu Qing carefully absorbed the blood-colored spiritual liquid that gathered in his body gradually increased. The aura that his dharma aperture desired also became more and more intense.
At the same time, the danger around him, as well as the Gold Core expert above him, caused Xu Qing's heart to pound with fear. As he absorbed the energy, he paid close attention to the area.
"I can't be too greedy. That's enough. Once my body is full, I'll leave."
Xu Qing admonished himself in his heart. Seeing that no one was aware of his presence, he absorbed even faster.
At this moment, the other shadow also quietly slipped into the pool. Hundreds of eyes blinked at the same time, and with some curiosity, it sucked in a mouthful. Then, all of its eyes narrowed, as if intoxicated, as it absorbed the energy at a rapid pace.
Seeing this, Xu Qing thought for a moment, then secretly took out the black metal skewer and placed it in the pool. The Vajra Sect Patriarch was visibly shaken. After absorbing a little, his eyes lit up.
"I can absorb all of them?
All-rounded and all-effective? "
Xu Qing was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he secretly used the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits. Immediately, the totem branded on his back flickered under Xu Qing's control, and a large amount of red liquid flowed into the totem.
Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised by this scene.
As for the speed at which he absorbed the blood, the captain quickly noticed. His eyes reddened, and he felt very unconvinced.
Xu Qing's absorption speed was obviously faster than his own, which made the captain feel very embarrassed. Therefore, after looking around and confirming that no one was paying attention, he took out a small bottle, placed it in the water, and knocked.
Immediately, a large amount of blood-colored spiritual liquid flowed into the bottle through the opening.
This bottle was very mysterious. It could hold a lot, but it was soon full. After the captain put it away calmly, he took out another bottle and began absorbing.
Just like this, he absorbed the liquid himself while using other items to store it. His absorption speed was not much slower than Xu Qing's.
Xu Qing also sensed this scene, so he frowned and glanced at the captain. The captain also looked at him with a provocative look.
Xu Qing was silent. He knew that the captain was a lunatic, so he would not bicker with a lunatic. At the same time, he continued to remind himself not to be greedy. When he was almost full, he would leave when the shadow, the Vajra Sect Patriarch, or the Golden Crow Refines All Spirits reached their limits.
However, the shadow, the Vajra Sect Patriarch, and himself had not absorbed enough yet. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Xu Qing slowly moved his body closer to the statue.
He had already noticed that the closer he got to the statue, the better the quality of the blood-colored spiritual liquid seemed to be.
At this moment, as he moved closer to the statue, Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised. He found that his absorption speed was faster, and so was the shadow. The Vajra Sect Patriarch was the most useless. He did not last long before reaching his limit.
Xu Qing glanced at the black metal skewer with some displeasure. After putting it away, he thought for a moment.
"Mm, when the shadow and I are both full, we will leave!"
With this plan in mind, Xu Qing continued to move slowly. Soon, the time for an incense stick to burn passed, and he had quietly reached the foot of the statue.
At the same time, the captain also noticed Xu Qing's actions and moved toward the statue. Just like this, when Xu Qing reached one foot of the statue, the captain also reached the other foot of the statue.
He felt that Xu Qing was a little too crazy. He had been absorbing for so long and still did not leave.
"No, I can't be compared to my subordinates. Haha, you want to compete with me in craziness?" the captain muttered to himself. He took out ten bottles and began to absorb.
Xu Qing frowned when he saw this scene.
"The captain is too greedy," he thought. "If this goes on, he'll be exposed. I can't stay here for too long. Enough is enough. I can't be too greedy!"
Xu Qing continued to absorb. After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, he regretfully found that he had reached the limit of what he could take in. Although his body looked normal, Xu Qing felt as if he were about to explode.
At the same time, the shadow was also filled with emotional fluctuations, and could not continue.
Xu Qing sensed that his Golden Crow Smelting All Spirits could still take in more. Therefore, he turned his back to the statue and pressed his back against it.
"I can't be too greedy," Xu Qing murmured to himself. "Although, the shadow, and the metal skewer are all full, so the Golden Crow Smelting All Spirits won't make a difference." Since his back was pressed against the statue, the statue's power, which was of the same origin as the pool, began to pour into him.
Gradually, ripples began to appear on the surface of the water, causing Xu Qing's heart to pound. He quickly suppressed the rate at which he was absorbing the power. Only then did the ripples disappear.
Heart pounding, he began to absorb the power.
The captain's eyes went wide. He looked at Xu Qing, then looked down at the bottles around him. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out another ten bottles and began to absorb more power.
Time passed, bit by bit. When the incense stick was about to explode, Xu Qing's breathing suddenly quickened. He had a feeling that something was off.
At that moment, he could sense that, as he used the Golden Crow Smelting All Spirits on the statue, not only was the power of Qi and blood surging into him, there was also an undercurrent forming at the spot where he was pressed against the statue.
The undercurrent existed inside the statue, and no one could see it or sense it. Only Xu Qing, who used the Golden Crow Smelting All Spirits, could sense it. It was as if he was absorbing a large amount of impurities.
Those impurities were unable to leave the statue, and were blocked inside. Therefore, they continued to gather, and the ripples coming from them caused Xu Qing's heart to pound in fear.
Those ripples were extremely unstable, and could explode with the slightest provocation.
Xu Qing was shocked, especially because he could sense that the power contained within the undercurrent was extremely terrifying. He had the feeling that if it exploded, he would definitely be enveloped by it, since he was so close to it.
In the midst of such a terrifying explosion, Xu Qing felt an intense sense of deadly crisis.
"If this thing explodes, it will definitely attract the attention of the other things inside the statue. It's too dangerous."
Xu Qing was instantly on guard. He slowly withdrew the Golden Crow Smelting All Spirits, and carefully ended the absorption process without stimulating the undercurrent.
Next, he sensed that the undercurrent, now that it was no longer under his control, was slowly drifting up into the statue. It was even more unstable than before.
Xu Qing looked up at the Gold Core boy sitting cross-legged on the hand above the statue. He silently stood up, not daring to move too quickly. Suppressing the nervousness in his heart, he walked out.
Xu Qing's actions caused the captain to stare in shock. When he looked at Xu Qing, Xu Qing gave him a meaningful look.
The captain hesitated. When he stood up, his eyes were filled with conflict and unwillingness. He felt that what he was doing this time wasn't fun at all. Besides, he wasn't as crazy as the old man.
If he left just like that, and no one noticed, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But if he went outside and someone discovered his identity, then he would suffer a huge loss.
"Since there's a high probability that I'll be discovered when I go out, and there's a high probability that I'll be discovered when I do something big, then of course I'll do it. When the old man finds out later, he'll be lamenting his inferiority!" After the captain thought about it, there was a hint of madness in his eyes.
Xu Qing walked out while giving the captain a meaningful look. At that moment, when he saw the madness in the captain's eyes, Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. He knew that things weren't going well, so he sped up without any hesitation.
At the same time, the captain was panting heavily. He suddenly laughed and grabbed with his right hand. A piece of flesh that was filled with divine aura escaped from his chest. Once the flesh appeared, there was a shocking fluctuation in the surroundings.
Almost at the instant the ripples spread out, the captain threw the flesh and blood into his mouth. Once he swallowed it, a loud bang rang out from his body, and a piercing golden light erupted from his body, causing all the Sea Corpses in the area to wake up.
The captain's Life Fire was fully activated, and his aura roared as he unlocked the seal. His entire body shone with golden light, and in an instant, he rushed to the foot of the statue. He didn't care about the Sea Corpse Clan members around him or the Gold Core on it. He opened his mouth and bit down on the Corpse Ancestor statue's toe. Crack!
