The Muddy Sky Temple, the place where the team of eight people from Jiu Zhou was located had turned into a living Hell. Broken bodies of the Corpse Race and decayed flesh had been piled up like a mountain, and the blood oozing from their bodies had formed into a river.

Their biggest crisis was over. As more and more helpers arrived from Jiu Zhou, they faced less pressure now.

Presently, eight figures stood atop the mountain of corpses. No Corpse Race members dared harass them again.

They scanned their surroundings and saw that there were many doors. A lot of cultivators from Jiu Zhou emerged from the doors and formed battle arrays as they contended with the Corpse Race members.

Many cultivators from Jiu Zhou noticed the eight of them. When they realised their identities, they admired their achievements as they could see heaps of corpses beneath their feet.

“I can’t hold on any longer…” When Feng Rulie’s fervour was over, he started feeling sore all over his body. Since he was struck with Source Corpse Poison, his face was unusually sallow. “I have to seek Cultivator Hua’s help now. Otherwise, I’ll turn into a Corpse Race member.”

With that, he leapt away from the mountain of corpses and shot towards the Muddy Sky Temple’s door with his spear.

“I’ll go with you!” Lu Qing said and followed him.

Ying Wuji and Yang Yuan left the place in a hurry as well. Mu Qingyun nodded at Lu Ye before shooting into the sky.

Previously, four out of these eight people were struck with Source Corpse Poison. Then, Mu Qingyun wasn’t spared the same fate as well. Although they had pills made by Hua Ci that could help them suppress the poison, it was only temporary. When they activated their powers during the battle, the medicinal efficacies of the pills were gradually lost. Now, they were starting to feel that something was wrong with their bodies. They knew that if they couldn’t get rid of Source Corpse Poison as soon as possible, there would be dreadful consequences.

If they really turned into Corpse Race members, that would be troublesome.

On the mountain of corpses, only Lu Ye, Lan Zi Yi, and Ju Jia were left.

Lan Zi Yi looked at the two of them in shock, but no one could clear her doubt. That was mainly because the two of them were strange. Although one of them was full of wounds, he showed no signs of getting affected by the poison.

Supposedly, when fighting the Corpse Race, they couldn’t neglect any wounds. That was because the Corpse Race members might inject Source Corpse Poison into them through the wounds.

As for the other person, his upper body was free from any wounds despite the long battle.

How robust his body must be that allowed him to be unharmed after such an intense battle? Was this guy’s body as sturdy as a Spell Artifact?

One had to know that Yang Yuan, who was also a Body-tempering Cultivator, was full of wounds. Besides the wound caused by the Golden Corpse King, he was also injured in the following battle.

On the other hand, Lan Zi Yi was unharmed because she was wearing protective armour. Otherwise, she would’ve been affected by Source Corpse Poison as well.

She felt that these two men were freaks. Soon enough, she saw something that was even more shocking.

Lu Ye fished out some pills and stuffed them into his mouth. As his cheeks bulged, he said to Ju Jia in a muffled voice, “Recover!”

“Oh,” Ju Jia replied and closed his eyes.

While chewing the pills, Lu Ye took a glance at Lan Zi Yi, whose eyelids were twitching.

She found it unbelievable that someone would consume so many Spirit Pills at once. Those were Spirit Pills, not sweets.

By consuming so many pills, wasn’t he worried that Pill Poison would accumulate, causing his Spiritual Power to be impure? Any cultivator, regardless of how powerful he was, wouldn’t consume pills like this.

[Is this guy out of his mind?]

After Lu Ye gulped down the pills, his abdomen was heard growling. It sounded like thunder, but it was also as if millstones were running.

[He has even activated Gluttonous Feast…] Lan Zi Yi was speechless.

Certainly, she was aware of the Gluttonous Feast, which was usually regarded as a useless cultivation technique. Therefore, when she heard the noise coming from Lu Ye’s stomach, she instantly knew what he was doing.

[Is he sick of living? Not only has he consumed so many pills, but he has even activated Gluttonous Feast to refine the medicinal efficacies.]

It had to be said that this method was effective. That was because Lan Zi Yi could feel that his aura, which became weak from a long time of battle, was recovering rapidly. It showed that his Spiritual Power was being restored quickly.

[But is it necessary to do so? He’s risking his future by restoring his power in such a way.]

Suddenly, she felt some fluctuations of Spiritual Power coming from nearby. She turned to look at Ju Jia, who had opened his eyes, and his Spiritual Power was on the brink of spilling out of his body.

“It’s done,” Ju Jia said.

[What does he mean by that?] Lan Zi Yi felt as if she was in a dream. She could see that Lu Ye had used a special method to rapidly restore his power, but what was going on with Ju Jia?

Only ten breaths of time had passed since he closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, his loss of power was replenished.

She didn’t see Ju Jia consuming Spiritual Pills or deriving energy from Spirit Stones.

“Let’s go,” Lu Ye said and stepped forward in a particular direction. He didn’t choose to fly, but for every step he took, he could move across 30 metres.

Ju Jia followed him in silence. He didn’t even ask Lu Ye what they were going to do.

“Wait a minute!” Only then did Lan Zi Yi come to her senses and run after them. Walking alongside Lu Ye, she looked at him and said, “I’ll tag along.”

She had figured out what Lu Ye was going to do. Although it was a risky move, they would gain a lot of battle points if they succeeded. She wouldn’t want to miss this chance.

Lu Ye didn’t chase her away, for she was indeed powerful. Although his collaboration with Ju Jia would be enough, he wouldn’t mind one more person making a contribution.

Wherever they went, they would be harassed by the Corpse Race members. They had just survived a calamity, so they were naturally not afraid of such weaklings.

They were in a triangular formation as they moved forward. As time passed, more and more dots of light exuded from the destroyed Corpse Race members and landed on the back of their hands.

Soon, Lan Zi Yi realised something. She asked, “Lu Yi Ye, you don’t know where he is, do you?”

That was because she discovered that Lu Ye didn’t have a destination in mind. He seemed to be searching around while killing the Corpse Race members.

After beheading a Corpse Race member, he asked nonchalantly, “Do you know where he is?”

He indeed didn’t know where his target was, for the person looked ordinary. He couldn’t find him in an environment where Corpse Race members were everywhere unless the person exposed himself.

Naturally, the person wouldn’t do that in such a situation.

Therefore, Lu Ye could only look around for him while killing the Corpse Race members. He didn’t have to see him with his eyes, for he could remember the target’s aura as the person had previously launched a sneak attack on him and injured Yang Yuan.

As long as the target was within his perception range, he could never flee.

“I don’t know where he is either,” Lan Zi Yi replied meekly.

“Cut the crap, then.”

The three of them continued to hunt down the Corpse Race members and helped solve the predicaments faced by many cultivators from Jiu Zhou. When they identified Lu Ye and Lan Zi Yi, they were excited.

The winner and the runner-up of the Fight for Supremacy were there, and they had even joined forces. In that case, it would be much easier for the rest of them to eliminate the Corpse Race.

Wherever they went, they could see not only the broken bodies of the Corpse Race members but also the corpses of the cultivators from Jiu Zhou. It went to show how violent the battle was.

Suddenly, Lu Ye heard someone screaming. He immediately charged towards the source of the voice and soon arrived at the battlefield.

By now, the areas in front of the doors were no longer bustling with noise. Realising that it was difficult to deal with the cultivators from Jiu Zhou, the Corpse Race members started running away.

The cultivators from Jiu Zhou had moved away from the doors as they joined forces and hunted their enemies down.

Presently, a group of more than ten people was in danger as they were surrounded by Corpse Race members. That was perfectly normal, but the crux of the problem was that there was a powerful being among the Corpse Race members. He was none other than the Iron Corpse Marshal.

In actuality, the Golden Corpse King wasn’t the only Champion-class being. The three Corpse Marshals working for him were of the same calibre. It was difficult for average Cloud River Realm Masters to deal with them. That said, in comparison, Shi Sha was more powerful than the three Corpse Marshals.

Previously, the Copper Corpse Marshal was easily killed because he didn’t expect the eight people from Jiu Zhou to be so powerful. As they worked together, it only took them ten breaths of time to kill the Copper Corpse Marshal. Considering Lu Ye’s incredible perception, the corpses were of no help in covering up the Copper Corpse Marshal.

The Iron Corpse Marshal was powerless to deal with the eight of them, but when facing a group of more than ten ordinary cultivators, he could showcase his strength.

The strongest cultivator in the group was killed with only one move, and the rest were in a perilous situation.

At such a critical moment, these Corpse Race members, who had surrounded them, suddenly descended into chaos. Following that, a fiery figure emerged and slashed at the Iron Corpse Marshal with his saber.

Despite the ambush, the Iron Corpse Marshal was unperturbed. He raised his arm to fend off the attack. His ferric skin tightened in an instant as though it had indeed turned into iron.

But the next moment, a hint of shock appeared on his stiff face. That was because the figure before his eyes was one of those people who were the first to barge into the Muddy Sky Temple.

The Iron Corpse Marshal wasn’t afraid of anyone, but he was most wary of this saber-holding young man. That was because the young man was the one who had injured the Golden Corpse King.

The Iron Corpse King immediately diverted all his power to his arm.

A clang was heard as if the saber had struck an arm made from iron. The weapon penetrated the Iron Corpse Marshal’s skin and hit his bones, but his arm wasn’t severed from his body.

Upon impact, the Iron Corpse Marshal seized the chance and retreated, trying to leave this place in a hurry.

But the next second, a tall, slender figure got in his way as though she had already expected that he would run away in that direction. She wielded her mighty sabers as dazzling Saber Lights turned into a storm and engulfed the Iron Corpse Marshal.
