King of Creation Chapter 2207 - 2192: Corpse Aberration

The War Soul Blood Flag is extremely sensitive to Blood Qi perception.

Like a magnifying glass, it instantly magnified Ye Zhen’s perception of the Blood Qi fluctuations behind the blood-colored barrier a hundredfold or a thousandfold, making the previously indistinct waves clear in Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense.

However, the contents sensed left Ye Zhen utterly shocked.

He was terrified beyond belief.

Inside the blood-colored barrier, countless waves of Blood Qi were flowing continuously.

Initially, they seemed chaotic, but as the perception grew clearer,

these Blood Qi waves appeared to move along invisible veins, following clear directions.

The countless waves of Blood Qi flowed along these veins from above, eventually all gathering at the bottom of the blood-colored barrier.

Beneath this blood-colored barrier, there seemed to be a massive Blood Pond, resembling a heart, continuously collecting Blood Qi from all directions.

The Blood Qi contained within the Blood Pond, or heart, was vast and boundless, and even a rough sense of its quantity made Ye Zhen shiver.

Even with Ye Zhen’s Cultivation, in front of the vast Blood Qi, he felt as if he were a speck of dust to the heavens, a flickering light to the bright moon.

All this made Ye Zhen shudder in fear.

Why can such a vast amount of Blood Qi be gathered here?

What is the purpose of gathering such a vast amount of Blood Qi?

Even more concerning is that if such vast Blood Qi were to explode, Ye Zhen couldn’t even begin to imagine the consequences.

If such a situation occurs, not only the Heavenly Wave Army of the North Sea, but the entire Blood River Fortress would be turned to ashes in an instant.

This discovery is too horrifying.

However, Ye Zhen did not stop sensing but instead driven by the War Soul Blood Flag, he carefully sensed further, needing to clarify the situation before making any decisions or actions.

First, Ye Zhen wanted to understand where the constantly increasing Blood Qi was coming from.

Clarifying the source and then working downward from it might lead to further discoveries.

But here, deep underground, even with the help of the War Soul Blood Flag, perceiving deeper was increasingly difficult.

For the countless Blood Qi veins that twisted upward, Ye Zhen’s usage of the War Soul Blood Flag felt like diagnosing a pulse with a suspended thread, any slight disturbance would cause an immediate interruption.

Seeing it was impossible to perceive on a large scale, Ye Zhen simply focused all sensing power of the War Soul Blood Flag on ten strands of Blood Qi.

This made Ye Zhen’s perception relaxed, sensing straight up along these ten twisting veins of Blood Qi.

The next moment, Ye Zhen’s lips twitched abruptly; the sight he perceived made his mouth uncontrollably twitch.

Within his sensing, a nearly decayed corpse deeply buried in the soil was entwined with a vein of indistinct Blood Qi, a constant thin stream of Blood Qi being extracted from this corpse buried underground, then followed the Blood Qi vein, twisting downward, finally gathering in the heart-like Blood Pond beneath the earth.

Sensing further, the other nine Blood Qi veins presented the same scenario.

This discovery made Ye Zhen’s mind buzz loudly, his whole being somewhat dazed.

Suddenly, countless past questions surfaced in his mind, many doubts resolved, but simultaneously, a myriad of new questions emerged.

The next moment, Ye Zhen moved his Divine Sense and switched to another ten Blood Qi veins for careful sensing; soon, he felt the same result.

Repeatedly switched dozens of times, each result identical.

The only difference was the varying degrees of decay in the corpses from which the Blood Qi veins extracted Blood Qi.

Some appeared almost skeletal, some freshly decayed, some died just a few years ago, others were newly deceased battle victims.

Among these corpses were members of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan.

"Fourth Brother, what did you discover?" asked the Sea-Breaking Great Saint impatiently.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, this Blood-Colored Forbidden Land is of great importance and may hold major devastation, I need you to guard here and seal the information tight, no one is to communicate externally,"

After reflecting for a moment, Ye Zhen added, "I need to further verify the specific circumstances before deciding on handling it."

"Alright!"

Years of mutual engagement had built a deep trust among the four.

At once, the Great Saint of Jinghai issued an order to seal the information, forbidding communication with outsiders.

Simultaneously, according to Ye Zhen’s request, water demons who had entered here were immediately controlled together, and those who hadn’t entered were strictly prohibited from entering the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land.

To prevent any accidents, these two orders were personally executed by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

Ye Zhen himself, with a look of seriousness, swiftly left the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, out of underground passages, directly emerging from the Blood River onto the surface, and after an hour, arrived at a lush lowland.

Here was Ye Zhen’s previously locked destination.

Subsequently, Ye Zhen used Spiritual Power to manifest a Spirit Shovel, beginning excavation carefully in this lush lowland.

Digging extremely cautiously, afraid to damage anything.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Zhen, having dug to a depth of over ten meters, stopped his hand, revealing a semi-decayed Demon Clan soldier’s corpse in his sight.

Ye Zhen did not move this corpse at all, fearful of disturbing something.

Slowly rising, he let his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought envelop the corpse like a mist.

An inexplicable power fluctuation, invisible to the naked eye but perceptible to Divine Sense, was entwining from underground, slowly extracting Blood Qi and various negative forces contained within the corpse.

Ye Zhen’s complexion turned extremely unsightly.

Despite the corpse appearing semi-decayed, being a Martial Artist at the Divine Communication Realm when alive meant hidden Qi essence, especially negative forces before death, all confined to the skeletal remains, even amidst the passage of time and erosion, still containing considerable essence.

Even as these corpses corrupted in the earth, they consistently generated various negative forces overnight.

Accumulated over months and years, the amount extracted by those eerie Blood Qi veins was simply....

However, this discovery was just the beginning.

Ye Zhen began extremely cautiously selecting locations for further digs.

With each corpse uncovered, and upon brief sensing, his complexion worsened.

After another hour, over a hundred identical findings with such corpses nearly turned Ye Zhen pale with fright.

Current intelligence is limited.

But even the correct one-tenth or one-hundredth of Ye Zhen’s speculation entails massive calamity.

Thinking it over, Ye Zhen refrained from immediate reaction, instead returning directly to the Blood River Fortress.

"Go, bring ten Demon Clan prisoners, below the Realm King, include each Cultivation Stage." Upon arriving at Blood River Fortress, Ye Zhen directly ordered the War Wolf Camp’s commander Zheng Dangshi.

Being a soldier, Zheng Dangshi harbored no doubts, immediately turning to execute Ye Zhen’s orders.

Soon after, Zheng Dangshi brought ten Demon Clan prisoners before Ye Zhen for directions.

"Execute them on the spot!"

Zheng Dangshi felt somewhat astonished because Ye Zhen normally scarcely executed Demon Clan prisoners, claiming they were wealth.

Yet despite the surprise, Zheng Dangshi executed Ye Zhen’s order without hesitation, using his blade to slay the Demon Clan prisoners immediately.

"Bury these ten corpses inside and outside Blood River Fortress. Outside the fortress bury five, within the formation’s coverage bury the other five."

"Within or outside, leave one corpse above ground, bury one at three meters, one at ten meters, one at fifty meters deep, burn one each inside and outside."

Ye Zhen’s command appeared extraordinarily strange and somewhat complex.

After carefully memorizing Ye Zhen’s orders, Zheng Dangshi executed them without discrepancy, his solemn expression evoking immense pressure akin to a mountain.

With each corpse handled, Ye Zhen personally followed to sense them.

With every sense, Ye Zhen’s complexion turned grimmer.

Upon sensing the last corpse within Blood River Fortress, Ye Zhen’s complexion had reached unparalleled severity.

Resolutely, Ye Zhen extracted a rarely used small Communication Transfer Formation.
