Qin Yun rapidly proceeded, and soon he arrived in a set of ruins. No palace building remained intact in the surrounding area. Clearly, this was where the battle was most intense.
"Here!" Qin Yun instantly saw the red-scaled fiendcelestial"s corpse lying in front of him. He had lost one arm and his body was punctured with many holes. The corpse was more than a thousand feet tall and the Dao it gave off was terrifying and sinister. It left Qin Yun utterly stifled! Of course, the three bangles on the remaining arm instantly attracted Qin Yun"s attention.
Qin Yun approached slowly as thick black mist rose from the fiendcelestial"s corpse, heralding the appearance of fiendmonsters that crouched above the corpse.
"Fiendmonsters?" Qin Yun thought nothing of them. "If this Other Realm Fiendcelestial were alive, I"d naturally be no match for him. But if it"s merely the fiendmonsters created by a corpse"s aura… they aren"t even worth mentioning."
Qin Yun even felt safe enough to divert his attention to observe his surroundings.
This was obviously the main battlefield and he could see traces of blood splattered all over the surrounding ruins! The blood came from all parties. There was the blood of the ancient Skydragon! There was also blood from the Other Realm Fiendcelestial and various great demons. Of course, the most precious item was the ancient Skydragon"s blood for with it came Skydragon Blood Crystals. Qin Yun counted and found nine Skydragon Blood Crystals in total!
There was also a lot of remnant blood that was covered by the ruins.
"The ancient Skydragon"s injuries were too heavy. He was damaged to his core, so it was no wonder he died soon after," thought Qin Yun wistfully.
Back then, Jadeface and Black Dragon had given Qin Yun a lot of information in order to be spared! It made Qin Yun understand the world"s various factions a little better. For example, the Skydragon Blood Crystals were the vital essence of a Skydragon"s body!
"Roar!"
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
As Qin Yun carefully observed the blood stains all over the battlefield, the fiendmonsters pounced at him. They appeared ape-like and were humongous in size. They had black scales covering their bodies and the boundaries of the black scales were marked with dark red patterns.
All of them moved astonis.h.i.+ngly fast and possesed formidable might.
"Eight Ultimates Four Directions, suppress!" Qin Yun waved his hand.
Immediately, eight flying swords flew out. Their might was such that they seemed like pillars of the world. They stirred the Heaven and Earth and immediately formed a Sword of Heaven Earth!
Everything went according to plan in the Sword of Heaven Earth"s range.
Now, the dense horde of fiendmonsters, that numbered in the hundreds, was trapped. They roared crazily and attempted to smash their way out, causing an incessant series of colliding sounds. However, they failed to leave a dent on the Sword of Heaven Earth"s boundary.
"Each one of these nine hundred fiendmonsters is much stronger than the fiendmonsters generated by the arm alone. Perhaps only a second Firmament Essence Soul realm ent.i.ty can withstand their combined efforts." Qin Yun gasped in admiration. Of course, they couldn"t do a thing to the Sword of Heaven Earth.
He trapped them for the time being.
Qin Yun had a nagging feeling that the Other Realm Fiendcelestial still posed some sort of threat, so he was in no hurry to touch it.
"Let me gather all the blood first."
"Whoosh."
Instantly, hundreds of wisps of Sword Qi flew out from Qin Yun"s body, moving the rubble to the side of the ruin.
As he cleared the ruin, Qin Yun took out a jade bottle and began searching for Skydragon Blood Crystals. He put them away one by one! There were large pools of red blood that suffused golden light. Within them were round Skydragon Blood Crystals.
"Time to store these away." He retrieved them from every area.
Moments later.
Qin Yun had put away twenty-one Skydragon Blood Crystals. He also stored the Skydragon Blood itself. And once he was done with his preparations, he stared at the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse.
"For the Other Realm Fiendcelestial to be this strong, he was likely a Skyfiend," thought Qin Yun.
Skyfiends were at the same realm as SkyG.o.ds, Skyimmortals, and Skydragons.
Just like back in the first world of his dream of a hundred years, the Connate G.o.dfields produced a SkyG.o.d on the human side. As for the fiendish demons, they lacked a Skyfiend!
"Since it"s a Skyfiend"s corpse, it"s no wonder Ancestral Master Zhang thought so highly of it. He was even willing to exchange the Otherworld Sword Calabash for an arm." Qin Yun very carefully used his Sword of Heaven Earth to isolate the fiendmonsters in a spot where they could not disturb him. He made it a point to not kill the fiendmonsters because they would just be reborn from the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse. It would only end up being a bother.
"Go."
Qin Yun immediately sent out three ma.s.sive wisps of Golden Core Dharmic powers. They rapidly infused into the three black bangles on the corpse"s wrist.
At the instant of infusion, the three black bangles began hungrily absorbing the Dharmic powers after going so long without energy. As Qin Yun had experience refining the bangles before, he provided the perfect amount of Golden Core Dharmic power. He rapidly and successfully refined the three ownerless bangles.
The refinement succeeded in an instant!
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The three distant Cosmic Bangles immediately resonated with the three Cosmic Bangles on Qin Yun"s arm. They resembled six parts of a ma.s.sive weapon and at that moment, all six parts were finally unified, forming a complete Numinous treasure.
"A Numinous treasure. I, Qin Yun, am finally lucky enough to have a Numinous treasure." Qin Yun smiled happily. "Come over here."
The three black bangles on the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s arm immediately expanded and rapidly flew off of its claws and headed towards Qin Yun.
And at that moment—
A black thread flew from the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse flew straight at Qin Yun!
"Oh?" Qin Yun"s expression changed.
"Go."
The three black bangles on his wrist flew out simultaneously and surrounded the black thread together with the three approaching bangles.
"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
The six Cosmic Bangles surrounded the black thread and struck it collectively, again and again, producing horrifying collision sounds! The six Cosmic Bangles had formed a unified ent.i.ty. They were extremely powerful under Qin Yun"s control. As the six bangles surrounded and smashed down, the black thread began distorting from the impacts. It even gave a loud roar. It was a poisonous worm, a bit like an earthworm, and it was putting up a crazy struggle.
However, under the continued smas.h.i.+ng of the six Cosmic Bangles, its injuries only turned for the worse.
Qin Yun"s Intrinsic Flying Sword was constantly floating at the ready, preventing the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse from making any strange moves.
"Is this poisonous worm the legendary Fiendheart Worm?" Qin Yun made a guess. "I heard that some fiendcelestials rear a Fiendheart Worm in their hearts. The worm can aid one"s cultivation and has many uses, such as probing and the controlling of hearts. Once the host dies, it continues to obey its host"s orders. However, this Fiendheart Worm has to rely on its host. Without its host, its strength declines drastically if it"s not given sufficient nourishment for long periods of time. It will be completely trapped by the Cosmic Bangles" seal and might even be heavily damaged."
The Fiendheart Worm struggled and roared but ultimately, it was vanquished under the concerted efforts of the six Cosmic Bangles.
"Seal!"
Only then did Qin Yun take full control of the six Cosmic Bangles.
"Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+"
The six Cosmic Bangles enlarged as they latched onto the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse, sealing off all its energy. Its aura was also completely sealed.
The large army of fiendmonsters outside dissipated as a result.
"From the looks of it, there"s nothing left?" Qin Yun carefully looked at the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s corpse before casting a sealing art on it. With his present Dao realm, he had also cultivated in many commonly used Dharma spells over the past year! His Dharma spells were increasingly brilliant, so it was rather easy to seal off the Other Realm Fiendcelestial"s aura.
