As he continued to follow the dark red mucus, the cabin passage ahead began to become strange.
The metal wall was covered with a scarlet substance that looked like a fungus. Upon closer inspection, it looked more like some disgusting flesh and blood tissue.
As they went deeper, the flesh and blood on the wall increased, as if they had entered the body of some giant creature.
“It looks like the work of the Devil Dao.”
Yan Changfeng stopped and carefully examined the flesh and blood.
“Could it be that this giant magic treasure is related to the Demonic Path?” Iluyan Zan frowned and asked suspiciously.
“Only demonic cultivators can create such a bloody and terrifying thing.” Xue Lingyu nodded in agreement. “It’s just that these flesh-like substances seem a little strange.”
“Yes.” Yan Changfeng nodded solemnly. “The flesh and blood are lifeless, but they can keep multiplying. It’s very strange.”
As they continued to venture deeper into the spaceship, the scene before them became more and more terrifying.
Tumor-like sarcomas began to appear on the surface of the flesh and blood tissue all over the wall, making one’s scalp tingle.
At the same time, the demonic cultivators had also entered the spaceship and were rapidly approaching it.
In order to disrupt the good deeds of the Demonic Path, Cheng Xu and the rest had no choice but to speed up their pace.
A moment later, the dark red liquid leading the way finally stopped and led everyone into a huge cabin.
The entire cabin was covered with a layer of strange flesh and blood tissue. Scarlet sarcomas of all sizes were scattered all over the cabin.
After bringing everyone into the cabin, the dark red mucus entered a strange corpse in the middle of the cabin with a whoosh.
“That’s…”
Cheng Xu and the others immediately noticed the strange corpse.
“What the hell is this? Is it alive or dead?” Huyan Zan stuttered.
It was a well-preserved male corpse with no signs of decay. It lay on the ground in a hideous and strange posture. The back half of the body that touched the ground seemed to have taken root and sprouted. Dense flesh and blood roots grew out and spread to the entire cabin with the body as the center.
It was obvious that the flesh and blood they saw just now came from this strange corpse.
“It doesn’t make sense that a corpse from ten thousand years ago can be preserved so well, right?” Liu Qiao was bewildered.
Everyone sent out their divine senses to check. After confirming that the corpse had no signs of life, they were even more surprised.
“Could it be because of the dark red mucus?” Cheng Xu speculated.
“It’s possible.” Yan Changfeng pondered and nodded. “Let’s go and take a closer look.”
The few of them carefully approached the corpse. The more they looked, the more shocked they were.
Although the Spiritual Energy in the corpse had already dissipated completely, he could still deduce the strength of the person when he was alive from the strength of the corpse’s physical body.
“The Demonic Path is most likely here for this corpse. Let’s try to destroy him first.”
The few of them looked at each other and began to try to destroy the corpse.
Thus, a strange scene appeared.
No matter how they attacked, they could not hurt the corpse at all. Even if Cheng Xu used the +5 flying sword to forcefully cut open a wound, the wound would heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“What the hell is this corpse?” Huyan Zan ridiculed in bewilderment.
“A corpse that can be preserved from ten thousand years ago is indeed not that simple.” Yan Changfeng sighed and shook his head.
At this moment, Cheng Xu keenly sensed the movement of the demonic cultivators gradually approaching and immediately suggested, “The demonic cultivators should be coming soon. Why don’t we hide first and see what the demonic cultivators are going to do?”
“This is not a bad idea.” Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just like that, the few of them found a corner in the cabin and hid in the dark with Liu Qiao’s Invisibility Array and Aura Isolation Array.
Just in case, Xue Lingyu also cast an additional Breath Concealing Talisman on each of them.
Not long after, a large number of Devil Dao cultivators poured into the cabin. Their eyes were fixed on the strange corpse, and their eyes were shining.
Just like the information that Yan Changfeng had, they were all Building Foundation Stage demonic cultivators.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that there were a few familiar figures among them.
Xu Lu, the Saintess of the Blood Demon Church, was an old acquaintance. The key was that another youth from the Black Water Mystic Palace had stunned Cheng Xu and the others.
“F*ck, Xue Jingcheng?” Huyan Zan stuttered as he looked at the crowd and communicated with them using his divine sense.
Cheng Xu, Yan Changfeng, and the others were also flabbergasted. They thought that they were hallucinating.
“It is indeed Xue Jingcheng.” Yan Changfeng’s expression was solemn.
“But didn’t he die?”
“Now it seems that the one who died should only be one of his clones. This Xue Jingcheng is already at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm,” Yan Changfeng analyzed.
“No wonder the Black Water Palace Lord didn’t react when Xue Jingcheng died,” Liu Qiao said. “So it was only Xue Jingcheng’s avatar that died?”
“Let’s see what they’re going to do first.”
Xue Jingcheng and Xu Lu, who were the leaders of the Demonic Path, did not detect Cheng Xu’s aura. Everyone’s attention was already attracted by the strange corpse.
“It really is the aura of the Dao Origin.”
Xue Jingcheng greedily took a deep breath, intoxicated by the smell of flesh and blood.
“Are those people from above here for these things?” The Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth beside Xu Lu frowned and asked.
“Of course not.” Xue Jingcheng shook his head and smiled. “Although the Dao Origin is precious, it’s not enough to make the higher-ups mobilize so many people.”
Hearing this, Xu Lu could not help but ask curiously, “Does Big Brother Xue know something?”
“I do know some inside information, but it has nothing to do with small figures like us.” Xue Jingcheng went over to the corpse to examine it and smiled. “This corpse should contain the Origin of Dao of Flesh and Blood, which is more compatible with the orthodoxy of your Blood Demon Church. However, this Origin of Dao of Flesh and Blood is not pure. With your current cultivation, it’s better not to absorb too much.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother Xue.”
Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Stage youth beside her cupped their fists in thanks, then impatiently began to absorb the dark red mucus inside the corpse.
Cheng Xu and the others saw everything from the shadows and could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
While Xu Lu and the other two were absorbing the dark red mucus, Xue Jingcheng and the other Fiendish Cultivators did not stay idle either. They began to search the interior of the spaceship carefully, as if they were searching for something.
It was obvious that the Demonic Path wasn’t looking for the corpse and the dark red liquid.
Seeing that the other Fiendish Cultivators were spreading out to search, while Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth were still seriously absorbing the dark red mucus, Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and prepared to make their move.
Whoosh!
The five people hiding in the dark attacked together, targeting Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth.
Liu Qiao held the Array Disk in his hand and immediately set up a few layers of formations to temporarily isolate the other fiendish cultivators.
At the same time, two formations of the Big Dipper appeared above the cabin. Cheng Xu and Yan Changfeng performed the Flying Cloud Meteor Sword at the same time, slashing at Xu Lu and the young man in the late stage of the Building Foundation Stage respectively.
The sudden turn of events shocked Xue Jingcheng and his men, and they hurried over to support them.
Xu Lu and the Late-stage Foundation Establishment youth who were absorbing the sword’s energy were instantly jolted awake. Unfortunately, the meteor-like sword light was already very close.
Clang! Clang!
At the critical moment, the familiar Blood Soul Bell floated out of their bodies and helped them withstand the fatal blow.
“It’s you?!”
Xu Lu, who had woken up, was shocked. She hurriedly wanted to counterattack, but she was blown away by Xue Lingyu’s talisman.
Huyan Zan followed closely behind and used a kick technique that descended from the sky to smash down, embedding it deep into the flesh and blood tissues on the ground..
