"Master, those three old corpses are catching up!"
Right at this moment, a sound transmission suddenly rang within Ye Yunfei's soul sea. It was the Holy Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe.
"Yes!
The three old corpses have caught up!"
Ye Yunfei's Soul Force perception also sensed them—three figures soaring through the distant sky with overwhelming corpse energy, tearing through the air as they approached.
"Brother Su, it seems these three old corpses can track us!" Situ Kong'er had also spotted the three old corpses in the distance.
"Yes.
For the past few days, these three old corpses have been following us from afar. They must have some method to accurately sense my direction."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
"Master, how have you mastered our tribe's core secret arts that I transmitted to you?
You could try activating them while coordinating with the Netherworld Yin Blade; you should be able to handle these three old corpses."
The Holy Son spoke to Ye Yunfei once more. In recent days, while secluded within the Phantom Tower to break through his realm, Ye Yunfei had spared time to practice the core inheritance secret arts of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe.
"I've barely grasped them.
Very well, I'll try."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
"Brother Situ, let's deal with these three old corpses first.
Otherwise, they'll follow us right into the Land of Life and Death.
Numerous experts from the Corpse World are garrisoned inside; if these three old corpses force their way in, those Corpse World experts will surely realize what's happening, making our actions much more difficult later."
Ye Yunfei said to Situ Kong'er.
"Brother Su, can we handle these three old corpses?"
Situ Kong'er hesitated slightly as he spoke.
"Let's find out."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Thus, Ye Yunfei took out the Green Flying Boat and steered it in a different direction. Soon enough, the three distant old corpses seemed to notice the change and also adjusted their course to chase the flying boat.
Half a day later,
the Green Flying Boat was already far from the Valley of Life and Death.
"Here should do."
Ye Yunfei stopped the Green Flying Boat, exited the vessel, and looked back. In the distant sky, the three old corpses were still closing in from afar.
"I've heard that the Corpse World houses many ancient corpses. These corpses are placed in Corpse-Nourishing Grounds, tempered with the most Yin and toxic energies and materials in the world. After enduring countless refinements, their might becomes exceptionally terrifying."
Situ Kong'er stood beside Ye Yunfei, his expression grave. He was quite familiar with the situations of the major powers within Central Divine Land.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
By now, the three old corpses were getting closer and closer. Their terrifying pressure rolled forth, causing the surrounding heavens and earth to tremble faintly.
"Brother Situ, you should take cover for a moment. The power of these three old corpses is somewhat frightening."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Understood."
Situ Kong'er's figure flickered as he entered the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei took out the Netherworld Yin Blade and stood high in the air, his gaze fixed on the three approaching old corpses, his expression somewhat heavy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Finally, the three old corpses arrived. Three horrifying waves of corpse energy instantly saturated the heavens and earth like a boundless ocean, shaking and disintegrating several mountain peaks below.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three old corpses came to a halt, their vacant, soulless gazes locked onto Ye Yunfei. Their bodies carried a thick aura of death and emitted the stench of rotting corpses.
"Their physical bodies have already died, and their soul bodies have dissipated as well. Why do they still possess consciousness and mobility? What exactly sustains them?
What principles underlie the Netherworld's corpse-refining and corpse-control techniques?"
Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission asking the Holy Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe.
"Master, the specifics of corpse-refining and corpse-control, I'm not entirely clear either.
What I do know is that the Netherworld's methods for controlling corpses mainly rely on incantations and corpse talismans."
The Holy Son replied.
"Incantations and corpse talismans, indeed.
Those Corpse Soldiers of the Corpse World are also controlled through incantations and talismans."
Ye Yunfei nodded. Just then, the three old corpses began advancing toward Ye Yunfei. Each step they took shook the space violently, their towering corpse energy churning and filling the skies, like three demons emerging from hell, making one's hair stand on end.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three old corpses struck simultaneously, thrusting out three massive, decaying palms toward Ye Yunfei, their dreadful corpse energy surging fiercely.
"Master, quick, use our tribe's core secret arts!"
The Holy Son shouted urgently.
Clang!
Ye Yunfei raised the Netherworld Yin Blade and slashed forward.
Rumble…
The space behind Ye Yunfei abruptly tore open, and a pitch-black river flowed out slowly. Its waters were jet-black and gleaming, while numerous glowing green corpses bobbed within, emanating an eerie light.
The Underworld River!
Though it seemed to flow sluggishly, its speed was frighteningly fast; in the blink of an eye, it surged before the three old corpses.
Rumble…
The Underworld River reared back, then swept forward like a black ribbon, lashing out at the three old corpses.
Hualala…
Corpse after corpse leapt from the Underworld River, pouncing to attack the three old corpses.
Pu! Pu!
The massive palms the three old corpses had originally thrust toward Ye Yunfei now swept toward these leaping corpses, shattering them to pieces.
Boom! Boom!
The three old corpses acted in concert, their attacks clashing repeatedly with the gleaming black Underworld River.
"The core secret art of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe is indeed formidable!"
Ye Yunfei was delighted.
"Master, half of this is actually due to the power of the Netherworld Yin Blade.
The Netherworld Yin Blade holds a mark of a Nether King; that's why this move becomes so devastating.
If I were the one performing it, the effect would be far weaker."
The Holy Son transmitted the explanation to Ye Yunfei.
"True.
So how can I subdue these three old corpses?"
Ye Yunfei asked. The strength of these three old corpses was immense; subduing them would mean gaining three powerful fighters!
"Master, if you wish to subdue them, you must first suppress them with the mark of the Nether King.
Utilizing the Nether King's mark has special efficacy against these old corpses.
Afterwards, you can attempt to use the corpse-control technique of our Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe and see if you can bring them under your command."
The Holy Son replied via sound transmission.
"Right!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Boom…
Right then, the three old corpses had joined forces to shatter the Underworld River and, like three phantoms, pounced toward Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei raised his blade and slashed.
Rumble…
A figure towering between heaven and earth slowly materialized—it was the Nether King.
As soon as the Nether King appeared, its massive form unleashed countless black, bizarre runes, swirling and scattering like a heavy snow of darkness, burying the three corpses beneath them.
Although formidable, the three old corpses seemed deeply wary of these black runes and retreated repeatedly.
"Heaven-Sealing Earth-Binding Netherlock Art!"
Ye Yunfei uttered a soft cry, activating this sealing technique and generating even more black runes that howled toward the three old corpses. The Heaven-Sealing Earth-Binding Netherlock Art was also one of the core inheritance secret arts of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe!
In the next moment, the three old corpses became shrouded by infinite black runes, seemingly bearing immense pressure as their movements slowed slightly.
"Master, while they're suppressed, quickly use the Netherworld Yin Blade to devour their corpse energy! This can weaken them further!
Then execute the corpse-control technique and dominate them!"
The Holy Son cried out.
