Wang Lin quickly flew at a low altitude at the bottom of the Sea of Devils. He held a small flag in his hand. This was a soul flag. There were hundreds of souls sealed on the flag, and one of them was Sang Muya. This soul flag belonged to Sang Muya, but unexpectedly, it became the cause of his death.
Through his conversation with Sang Muya, Wang Lin found out that the area within a one million kilometer radius was the outer area of the Sea of Devils.
There were many sects here, big and small, and the Fighting Evil Sect was one of them.
The person with the highest cultivation level in the sect was the sect head, Liu Sen, who was also Sang Muya's ancestor. He was at the peak of the mid stage Core Formation and had a bit of fame in the outer area of the Sea of Devils.
The outer area of the Sea of Devils was barren with very few spirit veins. Under normal circumstances, very few Nascent Soul demonic cultivators were willing to live here. Most of them lived in the center of the Sea of Devils.
In addition, Wang Lin also found out that there were almost no bones of spirit beasts in the outer area of the Sea of Devils. Those powerful spirit beasts usually lived in the center of the Sea of Devils and rarely came here.
Even if they came here alone, they were not something that the demonic cultivators in the outer area of the Sea of Devils could kill.
However, in the end, Wang Lin still found out that within a one million kilometer radius, there were three great danger zones. Among the three great danger zones, the Corpse Valley, had a lot of beast bones. If the nearby sects were looking for beast bone materials, they would usually go there.
What was strange was that in the Corpse Valley, after a period of time, there would be more corpses of recently dead spirit beasts. Some of these spirit beasts were extremely powerful when they were alive, so it was impossible for them to come here, let alone die in the Corpse Valley.
Fortunately, although the Corpse Valley was mysterious, as long as one didn't enter the valley, there wouldn't be any danger.
As for the bone poison that Sang Muya used to deal with his senior apprentice brother, it was made from the spine of a mysterious crow beast. After Wang Lin studied it, he found out that this bone poison was only effective against Foundation Establishment cultivators. Moreover, the more profound one's cultivation, the less effective it would be. If it was used against peak late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would have almost no effect, let alone Core Formation cultivators.
Wang Lin's current goal was the Corpse Valley. He rapidly flew in the direction that Sang Muya pointed.
After arriving outside the Corpse Valley, Wang Lin's eyes could see an endless stretch of underwater mountain ranges. These mountain ranges were high and low, and between them were several large and small low-lying valleys.
This was the Corpse Valley.
The fog here was not thick and was rather light. It did not affect one's vision much. However, as Wang Lin moved forward, a trace of cold Yin Qi came out from the valley. The quality of this Yin Qi was completely different from the outside.
Wang Lin immediately formed a seal with his right hand and muttered an incantation. Suddenly, traces of red light condensed in front of him and finally formed a white ball of light.
As soon as the white ball of light appeared, its color immediately changed. Finally, it turned blue.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered incessantly. This was a spell specially used to test the quality of a place of extreme negative energy. According to the color of the ball of light, there were four kinds of light: purple, blue, silver, and red, respectively corresponding to the four great places of extreme negative energy of heaven, earth, profound, and yellow.
Now that the ball of light had turned blue, it meant that this place had a rare place of earth Yin.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and pointed forward. The ball of light immediately floated forward. Wang Lin leisurely followed behind it. While observing the color of the ball of light, he also looked around for beast bones.
Inside the Corpse Valley, Wang Lin swept out with his divine sense and found several cultivators. These cultivators were all flying around looking for beast bones. Even if they met each other, they would only nod slightly and pass by.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. This Corpse Valley was not just one, but it was made up of countless large and small valleys. The deeper one went, the fewer cultivators there were, but the more beast bones there were.
After passing through the ninth valley, the number of spirit beast corpses on the ground gradually increased. Some of them were quite frightening and actually occupied more than half of the valley.
At this time, Wang Lin was standing on top of a giant beast bone. After carefully observing it, he gave up on the idea of collecting it. Although the beast bone was large, there was no spiritual energy in it. It was clearly not a spirit beast; it was just large in size.
As he went deeper into the valley, the color of the ball of light became darker. After entering the ninth valley, he could no longer find any cultivators, and the number of beast bones on the ground gradually increased.
Wang Lin paused for a bit in the ninth valley. He carefully observed his surroundings and spread out his divine sense. He had a feeling that the ninth valley was completely different from the previous eight valleys. As for what this difference was, he couldn't explain it, but he felt like there were countless eyes focused on him the moment he entered.
Wang Lin sneered inwardly. He spread out his Ji Realm divine sense and immediately swept the area. The gazes that were focused on him immediately disappeared, and the valley returned to its previous calm.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then collected the beast bones at a moderate pace. After choosing a few, he walked towards the tenth valley … when Wang Lin passed by the tenth Shi San valley, the ball of light made a popping sound and split into two. Wang Lin's eyes were serious. He knew that this meant that the quality of the Earth Yin had broken through from ordinary to first-grade.
Waves of cold air spread out from the fourteenth valley, and Wang Lin's body stiffened.
Wang Lin looked around and sighed. This place was actually the best place to go into seclusion. It was a pity that this place looked peaceful, but for it to be called one of the three danger zones, there had to be some danger. Wang Lin didn't dare to go into seclusion here for a long time. No matter how good the conditions were, he wouldn't choose this place unless he had no other choice.
He hesitated for a bit. He had already collected some beast bones along the way, and even if they weren't very effective, they should be able to increase the power of the Nine Corpse Skeleton Formation.
But he was a bit unwilling to leave just like this. But looking at the fourteenth valley from where he was, he could see the overall appearance of the fourteenth valley. It was clearly different from the Shi San valley. Just its size was almost the same as the previous valleys combined.
Besides that, what was strange about the fourteenth valley was that there were almost no corpses or beast bones. The ground was covered in a layer of blue frost, and it looked very mysterious.
Wang Lin looked from afar. The fourteenth valley wasn't the end of the Corpse Valley; he was only halfway in.
Wang Lin concentrated for a bit, shook his head, and decided to go back.
Just as he was about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the distance. Then, a giant flood dragon that was more than a thousand feet long suddenly came out from the fog.
Wang Lin's expression changed. He immediately took a few steps back, and with a light step, he drilled into the ground. But his divine sense spread out, and he stared at the giant flood dragon.
He saw the giant flood dragon's body move, and suddenly there was a burst of wind and thunder. Almost in the blink of an eye, it passed through the Shi San valley and flew into the fourteenth valley.
When the giant flood dragon flew over Wang Lin, a large amount of blood fell from the sky. Wang Lin looked up and saw a deep gash on the giant flood dragon's abdomen. This gash took up half of the flood dragon's body.
Wang Lin looked in the direction the giant flood dragon came from and saw a bloody mark on the ground. It was obvious that the flood dragon had never stopped bleeding while it was flying.
The flood dragon stopped in the sky above the fourteenth valley. Its eyes revealed a trace of indifference, as if it didn't care about the blood dripping from its body. It looked up at the sky and let out a final roar. The moment this roar came out, the surrounding air immediately turned into ripples. Waves of violent waves rushed out, as if it was the raging waves of the sea.
The beast bones in the surrounding valleys immediately made popping sounds and turned into ashes. The waves continued to push outwards.
Wang Lin was underground, but he could still feel the ground being scraped three feet away. He was extremely shocked. This flood dragon's strength was probably even higher than a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This roar lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The flood dragon's eyes dimmed and with the last of its strength, it fell from the sky. The blue frost on the ground seemed to sink into the water as it drilled into the ground.
At this moment, Wang Lin jumped out from the ground and rushed forward without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, he entered the fourteenth valley. While his body was still in the air, he grabbed the flood dragon's tail that had drilled half of its body into the blue frost and fiercely pulled it out.
With a cracking sound, the flood dragon was dragged out from the ground. Wang Lin's heart beat wildly. Without a word, he carried the heavy flood dragon's corpse and quickly flew out of the Corpse Valley.
The flood dragon's corpse was too heavy. Wang Lin used all of his spirit force and could only barely carry it. He could even hear the sound of his bones being squeezed. But compared to the newly dead flood dragon's corpse, this pain was negligible to Wang Lin.
After flying out of the valley, Wang Lin immediately saw the cultivators who were collecting beast bones. Each of them had opened their defensive treasures and were dumbfounded as they looked at him in the air.
These cultivators were obviously used to what could happen in the valley at any time. So the moment the giant flood dragon flew over, they immediately scattered, opened all of their defensive treasures, and found solid cover. Even so, there were still some who were affected and their bodies were shattered by the roar.
To be able to survive, in addition to having a certain level of cultivation, they also needed to have a sensitive reaction and a vigilant mind. These people were all in the Corpse Valley all year round, and their main source of income was selling.
But even though they had been here all year round and had seen some powerful spirit beasts fly in and out of the valley, they had never seen anyone carry out a spirit beast that had just died.
This kind of thing, not to mention that they had never seen it before, they had never even heard of it. Not to mention that the person was carrying a complete flood dragon's corpse.
A complete flood dragon's corpse that had not yet rotted!
At this moment, most of the cultivators lost their minds, and their eyes revealed a greedy red light.
Wang Lin could feel many gazes on his body. He coldly snorted and landed on the ground with the flood dragon's corpse. He immediately used the Earth Escape Technique and sank into the ground with the flood dragon.
The moment he sank, his Ji Realm Divine Sense flashed out. The cultivators here were all below the Core Formation stage, and they all immediately fell to the ground dead.
The flood dragon's corpse was too big. Even though Wang Lin drank a large amount of spirit liquid, it was still difficult for him to move quickly. He could only slowly carry the corpse back to the cave.
