Chapter 1274 — A Demon Den in the Void

Bai Yuqiong stared at the heart demons hurtling toward her, and even she felt her heart quail. She said hurriedly, "There are too many chaotic divine senses in the Great Void, and they have caused these corpse walkers to mutate! The bodies of the corpse walkers are filled with chaotic divine senses and demonic nature, and they have become the masters of these heart demons! " The heart demons were beyond counting, and among them lumbered corpse walkers of enormous bulk, thundering toward them.

When Bai Yuqiong had led the great army into the Great Void, she had fought the heart demons of the collapsing void, and she knew well how eerie and intractable they were. Heart demons were strong or weak according to whose heart demon they were.

The heart demons of the divinely gifted were nothing much, for the vision and knowledge of the divinely gifted were limited, and their heart demons could not be very strong. Many a dreadful creature that seemed inconceivable to the divinely gifted was, in the eyes of the gods, merely ordinary.

What was dreadful was the heart demons of gods.

The higher a god's cultivation realm, the stronger its heart demon; in the collapsing void they had even been forced to contend with the Heart Demon Heavenly Emperor, the heart demon of some unknown and terrifying existence, when it attacked the void passage. Fortunately Lord Fire and Lord Yu were present at the time, and afterward other Lords arrived, and only then was the Heart Demon Heavenly Emperor slain.

And judging by these heart demons, they were likely remnants left behind in the collapsing void, and more still were the heart demons of the Heavenly Court's soldiers and of the prodigals of the Carefree Land; every one of them was exceedingly powerful!

But the strongest of all was surely that corpse walker!

These corpse walkers were no longer simple corpse walkers; what controlled them was no longer the undying obsession of the Creators, but the demonic nature of the collapsing void. That demonic nature had taken possession of the corpse walkers' bodies and now drove their flesh; and since the flesh of the prehistoric Creators was incomparably mighty, visualized until it was like divine gold, they were absolutely formidable foes! "Lord Mu, you hold off these heart demons and help me reach the corpse walker's side, and I will subdue the corpse walker! " Bai Yuqiong flew forward at speed.

The heart demons were strong, but surely Shen Mu's divine abilities could handle them. She knew Shen Mu's strength.

Before the Heavenly Court's great camp, Shen Mu had defeated Consort Yuwu and slain Yin Jiuzun, displaying power no weaker than the Lingxiao realm.

To her surprise, no sooner had she spoken than Shen Mu had already shot ahead of her, crying aloud, "Celestial Master Bai, subduing demonic nature is my specialty. You help me get close to the corpse walker!

" "Is it chaotic divine senses and demonic nature? Then that's easy enough to deal with.

.

.

" Shen Mu's eyes lit up, and he charged to meet the heart demons: "Celestial Master Bai, you deal with these heart demons; dealing with the corpse walker's demonic nature is my specialty! " Bai Yuqiong had no choice but to follow behind him, the two of them charging forward one after the other.

Those heart demons were exceedingly powerful, dying and being reborn again without any fear of death, but Bai Yuqiong brought out the Way of Space; before the heart demons could come near the two of them, she shifted them away with her spatial divine ability, flinging them a thousand li off! Shen Mu barreled recklessly into the swarm of heart demons, and Bai Yuqiong kept using her spatial divine ability to carve a path for him, when she saw that in the midst of the heart demons, the colossal corpse walker, its four limbs flying, had trampled to death countless heart demons and was racing straight at Shen Mu!

Bai Yuqiong's heart pounded with fright.

Among these heart demons were some exceedingly powerful beings, and yet they were trampled and crushed to death by that giant corpse walker; the demonic nature within this corpse walker must be terrifyingly strong! Suddenly the corpse walker put its four limbs to the ground and leaped high, its bloody maw gaping as it plunged down from the air!

Bai Yuqiong, without thinking, made ready to use her spatial divine ability, but she forced herself to hold back, keeping the ability unspent, to see how Shen Mu would deal with it.

"Where I stand is the Nether Capital! " Shen Mu roared, and with his body as the center, endless Nether Capital demonic qi surged out. Flames blazed above his head, and the Nether Capital demon fire became a long horn twisting through nine turns and eighteen bends!

His flesh swelled, growing taller and larger, joint by joint, and in the blink of an eye he became a Tubo ten thousand zhang tall, with an ox's head, a tiger's face, and a human body, his sinewy frame savage and hideous. The corpse walker pressed down from the sky. Shen Mu drove his Nether Capital divine ability, and demonic qi spread for thousands of li, turning this place into the Nether Capital.

From the corpse walker's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, streams of black qi poured out, black qi like thick smoke, rolling in torrents, devoured by the Nether Capital! The black smoke rolled, thick and dense beyond measure.

How much demonic nature had accumulated in the Great Void over a million years?

Now this demonic nature had escaped from the collapsing void and lodged within corpse walker after corpse walker. The corpse walkers were not many in number, and so each one held a vast sea of demonic nature within it.

Shen Mu, transformed into Tubo, frantically refined the demonic nature, and said with a cold laugh, "Before I became Lord Mu, I had a nickname: the Divine Son of the Nether Capital.

You dare run wild before me. .

. " "Watch out!

" Bai Yuqiong's cry of alarm came from behind. Shen Mu hurriedly looked up, and saw that a great foot had already come down upon his head. Boom— The corpse walker's towering body pressed down, smashing earth and void until they cracked and popped, mud and mountain stone surging up like waves and rushing in all directions.

Bai Yuqiong hastily condensed space into a sword and cut down with it, splitting the wave apart; the wild wind too she cut in two with a single stroke! "The sword art Zixi taught me is truly marvelous.

.

. Oh, yes—Lord Mu!

" Bai Yuqiong came to her senses and hurried forward.

She saw the corpse walker's carcass heaped there like a dozen great mountains pressing upon the earth, its breath gone; surely all its demonic qi and demonic nature had been refined away.

And the Tubo that Shen Mu had become was nowhere to be seen.

"Lord Mu. .

. " Bai Yuqiong was downcast, but then she sensed, to her astonishment, a certain satisfaction in her heart, as though she wished for nothing more than Shen Mu's death.

Just then, Shen Mu's faint voice came from beneath the corpse walker: "Celestial Master Bai, give me a hand.

. .

" Bai Yuqiong hurriedly moved the corpse walker's body aside, and saw that the ground was a thousand zhang deep, and Shen Mu, in his Tubo form, lay sprawled in a huge human-shaped imprint, his face covered in blood, unable to move.

The pair of ox horns on his head had broken into seven or eight pieces.

Bai Yuqiong hastily dug him out.

Shen Mu drove the Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art, and his flesh quickly recovered.

He said, "I told you, dealing with demonic nature is my specialty. See?

Killing a corpse walker is easy for me, isn't it?

" Bai Yuqiong nodded and said, "There's still a footprint on your face. . .

" Shen Mu wiped the footprint away and said, "But next time we run into this sort of thing, I think we'd best dodge it first.
