In a corner of the Spirit Void Temple, a figure flew in from the outside and smashed into a pillar, leaving a human-shaped crack in it.
The figure was clad in battle armor, and the moment he smashed into the pillar, he got up and left to observe his surroundings.
The figure was naturally Lu Yin. He had been watching Bai Shaohong and Nong Sanniang fight, but he had not expected to be caught up in it. He immediately donned his universal armor as his survival instincts were abnormally strong.
This was the Spirit Void Temple!
The fight must have caused too much of a commotion and provoked the Spirit Void Temple, which was why they had been sucked in.
A low roar came from around the corner, and Lu Yin's gaze shook. He turned around and met a pair of scarlet vertical eyes.
The Spirit Void Temple was enveloped by a giant Spirit Void Umbrella, and there were many small red dots on the umbrella that slowly rotated. When everyone was sucked into the Spirit Void Temple, one of the red dots disappeared.
Bai Shaohong stood in a corner of the Spirit Void Temple, leaving deep footprints on the ground. In front of him, a Corpse King with scarlet vertical eyes appeared. He raised his hand and mercilessly struck out, shattering the Corpse King's head.
The moment the Corpse King died, one of the red dots on the Spirit Void Umbrella disappeared. Bai Shaohong could feel the aura of the Spirit Void Umbrella, as if he could control it.
He suddenly thought of something, and his body was suddenly pulled away. He disappeared and landed in another place. He did not know where he was, but he knew that another Corpse King had appeared in front of him. Its strength was about the same as the previous one, but it was only an Explorer. He had easily killed it, and his perception of the Spirit Void Umbrella increased.
He understood that the Spirit-void Umbrella had sensed the aura of his battle with Nong Sanniang and dragged them all into the Spirit Void Palace to clean up the remaining King Corpses. The reward was the Spirit-void Umbrella itself. Whoever killed the most King Corpses would be the one to control the Spirit-void Umbrella.
When he thought of this, Bai Shaohong's eyes lit up with a faint sense of confidence and pride. This umbrella would definitely be his.
The Spirit Void Temple was huge. After all, the Desolate Ancestor and the Spirit Void Army had resided here. There were many Corpse Kings that had survived since ancient times, and it was difficult for them to meet each other.
Long Tian retracted his hand and raised his head. Although he could not see the Spirit Void Umbrella, his feeling towards the Spirit Void Umbrella was getting more and more obvious. At the same time, he could feel other Qi appearing, wanting to fight with him for the Spirit Void Umbrella, and there was more than one. Unfortunately, the number of Corpse Kings he had killed had already surpassed these people.
As the Corpse King fell to the ground, Long Tian's body disappeared. When he reappeared, he felt a terrifying aura. He subconsciously used his White Dragon Transformation and took out a Rare Treasure. He stabbed out with his spear, but the Corpse King caught the spear. Long Tian's expression changed. The Corpse King in front of him was infinitely close to the power of an Emissary.
Corpse Kings had always had the upper hand when fighting against humans. They didn't know pain and didn't care about life and death. Their bodies were extremely powerful, and they could freely choose their own talents. Once they started to cultivate, their progress would increase by leaps and bounds. Because of this, in ancient times, humans had lost more than they won, and had no choice but to use the tactic of mutual destruction.
Even though Long Tian was the young ancestor and could deal with any warrior below the level of an Emissary, it was still difficult to deal with a Corpse King that was infinitely close to the level of an Emissary.
On the other side, Lu Yin had also guessed what was going on. When he had killed the first Corpse King, he had sensed the Spiritvoid Umbrella's aura. It wanted to borrow their strength to clear out the Spiritvoid Temple.
The ancient powerhouses were worthy of respect. Even after their deaths, their remaining strength still wanted to deal with these monsters.
Lu Yin clenched his fist; it was time for him to use his Hollow Palm and pierce through a Corpse King's body.
It was time to use his full strength. He wanted to obtain the Spiritvoid Umbrella that could bring people back from the dead.
The Hollow Palm's advantage lay in its speed and power. Lu Yin killed another Corpse King and then reappeared at another location. When he saw another Corpse King, he used his Hollow Palm. When he used his full strength, his power far surpassed what he had used during the Sovereign Tournament. He was now an eighteen cycle Hunter, and with the boost from his breakthrough, even Wang Yi wouldn't have been able to withstand such power during the Sovereign Tournament.
He fully activated his domain and unleashed his Hollow Palm. Lu Yin's speed in killing Corpse Kings actually surpassed that of Bai Shaohong and Long Tian. This was also related to the fact that the Corpse Kings he encountered weren't that strong. Finally, after killing nearly a hundred Corpse Kings, he encountered a Corpse King that was close to the level of an Emissary.
There was a thump, and his full-strength Hollow Palm only managed to push the Corpse King back a hundred meters. It wasn't enough to cause any fatal damage to its body.
The Corpse King raised its scarlet eye and charged madly at Lu Yin.
Countless years had passed. Even if the Corpse King had once possessed intelligence, it had now gone mad. This made it easier to deal with. A body without intelligence could only take a beating.
However, this body was far too sturdy, and even after a series of Hollow Palm strikes, he was only able to leave a mark on the corpse's body. He still wasn't able to penetrate it, and it would take him some time to completely deal with this Corpse King. What he lacked the most right now was time.
Lu Yin frowned as he felt the auras on the Spiritvoid Umbrella grow stronger. He thought about it for a moment, and since his die had appeared, it was time to upgrade his external items.
He tapped out, and the die spun. Four pips: Time Stop Space. The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in a greyish white space.
As long as he appeared in the ashen white space, he would definitely be able to roll 3 pips. This was the best result.
Lu Yin rolled it five times, and on his sixth try, he finally rolled 3 pips.
He looked at the two layers of light in front of him and tossed in the sphere that he had stolen from Madam Lan.
When they had attacked the Blaze Realm, Madam Lan had wanted to use the sphere to deal with them, but Lu Yin had used the Yu Secret Art to steal it. This sphere contained powerful flames, and its rune lines had a power level of 500,000. Now, Lu Yin wanted to upgrade it and use the flames to increase the speed at which he killed the Corpse King.
After tossing in the sphere, Lu Yin began to crazily use star essence.
Although the flames within the sphere could injure his enemies, if he didn't use them well, he could also injure himself. Lu Yin wouldn't upgrade it too much, and he only upgraded it three times.
The third upgrade cost him nearly eight million star essence. As he held the sphere, Lu Yin could feel the surging heat of the flames, which far surpassed the dark lava that Long Tian had given him back on Junior Progenitor Planet. Lu Yin couldn't endure such heat right now, and he would need to become an Enlighter at the very least to be able to endure it.
He glanced at the time and saw that there wasn't much time left. Lu Yin calmed down and silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin returned to the real world. No matter how much time had passed in the grayish-white space, only one second had passed in the real world. However, that one second was more than enough for a powerhouse, and the Corpse King was already in front of him. Before Lu Yin could react, it viciously swiped at him with its claws and sent him flying.
Fortunately, Lu Yin was wearing his universal armor, so he was fine. Otherwise, this attack would have severely injured him.
The Corpse King charged at him again, and Lu Yin raised the sphere and released it at the Corpse King. He only released a small amount of flames, but the moment they touched the Corpse King, it was burned to ashes.
Lu Yin felt that the sphere was burning his hand, as it could probably threaten a powerhouse with a power level of 600,000.
That Corpse King was only close to an Emissary's strength, and no matter how strong its physical body was, it wouldn't be able to withstand the attack without using any cultivation techniques.
If this Corpse King had undergone a Corpse King Transformation, then the outcome would have been different, as these flames might not have been able to burn it to death.
Lu Yin's body vanished, and when he reappeared, he was in front of another Corpse King. The further he went, the stronger the Corpse King became. This Corpse King was similar to the previous one in that it was close to an Emissary's strength.
Without hesitation, he used the sphere's flames to burn it.
One, two, three … Lu Yin didn't even know how many Corpse Kings there were in the Spirit Void Temple. He only knew that the flames in his sphere were running out, and his control of the Spirit Void Umbrella was becoming stronger and stronger, surpassing everyone else's.
Bai Shaohong could feel that someone was killing the Corpse Kings faster than him. He had already used a power vessel, but the Corpse Kings became stronger as time passed. Even if he used a power vessel, it would take him at least half an hour to kill one Corpse King. But now, someone was even faster than him. Could it be that they hadn't encountered a Corpse King with such strength?
That shouldn't be the case. The Spirit Void Umbrella wasn't human, and it didn't have any intelligence or bias. The strength of a Corpse King was definitely related to the number of kills and the speed at which it was killed. The faster it was killed, the greater the number of kills, and the stronger the Corpse King would be. If that was the case, then this person had to have an even stronger power vessel to be faster than Lu Yin.
Bai Shaohong's eyes flashed. Not everyone could use a power vessel, and the stronger the treasure, the greater the burden on the user. Otherwise, with the Frigid Immortal Sect's foundation, he would have been able to use a half-Ancestor-level power vessel without any hesitation.
Who was it?
Long Tian?
Wang Su?
Or Xia Shenfei?
Long Tian was also guessing. He had entered earlier than the others, but someone had actually killed more Corpse Kings than him. How could this person be so fast?
Could it be that all of the Corpse Kings were Explorers?
That shouldn't be the case!
If that was the case, then he could only try his best. He took a deep breath and took out another power vessel.
Bai Shaohong and Long Tian both started using their most powerful power vessels. For a moment, the Spirit Void Temple trembled incessantly, and the red dot on the Spirit Void Umbrella disappeared faster and faster. The umbrella's control was switched between the three of them, and the umbrella spun continuously.
Two days later, after the last Corpse King had been killed, the sphere in Lu Yin's hand finally shattered. The flames within had been exhausted.
In that instant, Lu Yin's vision changed, and he suddenly saw the entire Spirit Void Temple. He saw a place where the tribulation crystal pillar was stored, as well as two boxes. His eyes burned with passion. Was that the Desolate Progenitor's inheritance?
Lu Yin's vision returned in an instant, and he immediately rushed out. He knew where the inheritance was.
Lu Yin wasn't the only one who had seen this scene; Bai Shaohong and Long Tian had also seen it. All three of them had made the same decision to snatch the inheritance.
This was a competition of speed, but no matter how fast Bai Shaohong and Long Tian were, they couldn't compare to Lu Yin. The inheritance was placed closest to him.
In less than fifteen minutes, Lu Yin found the unassuming secret room and saw Wen Yiyi along the way. He rushed over as fast as he could, giving Wen Yiyi a fright as he thought that another Corpse King had appeared.
Lu Yin entered the secret room and immediately put away the tribulation crystal pillar. There were two boxes on each side, and Lu Yin's figure flashed as he appeared in front of one of the boxes. He picked it up and placed it in his cosmic ring. At this moment, Bai Shaohong and Long Tian arrived outside the secret room. They were only separated by a single wall, and under normal circumstances, Lu Yin wouldn't have been able to leave.
