Chapter 88: Star Form Blessed Land
Immortal Monkey King was hit directly by the star billow pillar, with a loud thud, he crashed on the ground, with his head facing the floor.
He growled angrily, spitting out the soil in his mouth, getting up quickly.
Shi Lei did not care about the Seven Star Child immortal zombie, he only wanted to get to the star demon bat corpse, towards the location in his memories.
He took huge steps as he ran, uprooting all of the trees in his way. He looked at the star demon bat corpse from afar, joyful to see that it was still intact.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Right at this moment, three flying sword rat desolate beasts flew over from the sky.
Shi Lei snorted coldly, he did not want to engage with them, he raised his arms and covered his face.
Clank clank clank...
The flying sword rats' nails were as sharp as swords, they scratched Immortal Monkey King's huge body, but no blood was seen as the soft golden monkey fur blocked the nails, emitting a loud metallic noise.
The three flying sword rats did not let go of Shi Lei yet, they were small and agile, they followed him and continued to scratch and hack away at his body.
Bunches of monkey fur fell from Shi Lei's body.
"Damn rats!" Shi Lei shouted, whipping his tail and using it like a golden whip.
The flying sword rats were hit by the tail, but after they were sent flying, they returned and continued to disturb him.
Just as he was about to reach the star demon bat corpse, a diamond bear appeared.
"Scram!" Shi Lei was furious, he clenched his fists and swept with his arms, his fists were slamming horizontally as his brute force pushed the heavy diamond bear away.
Shi Lei did not want to tangle with the diamond bear, he only wanted to get back his loot.
He ignored the disturbance of the flying sword rats as he reached the star demon bat corpse and grabbed it with his hand.
The star demon bat corpse shattered, he had been deceived once again.
Shi Lei reacted quickly, shouting in anger: "Damn, what method is this? How can it look so real! Flying bear, right, there is still a flying bear here."
Still having some hope in his heart, the golden fur giant monkey changed directions and continued to run.
Shi Lei finally got close to the flying bear corpse, but he saw that there were five flying bears surrounding the corpse, some made mournful cries while others were licking the blood on the ground.
There was one which used its head to nudge the flying bear corpse, but the image flickered.
Shi Lei saw this and lost all hope, as rage overwhelmed him: "It seems that all of the desolate beasts that I killed were stolen by that despicable thief Fang Yuan!! All of these are my loot, the fruits of my victory. He dared to steal my possessions, the Immortal Monkey King's, how long has it been since such a thing has happened?"
Shi Lei's huge body attracted the attention of the flying bears.
Grrr!
The five flying bears had bloodshot eyes as they charged towards the golden fur giant monkey.
Shi Lei did not have the mood to fight with them, at this point, he knew there was nothing to gain here, he wanted to escape.
Shi Lei immediately changed directions, but he realized that while the five flying bears were still charging towards him from the front, on the left, there were three blazing divine stallions getting closer. On the right, there was a huge ghost face tortoise, and behind him were seven star desolate hounds.
In just a short while, he was surrounded by desolate beasts on all sides.
Shi Lei wanted to fly into the sky, but he looked up to see an iron crown eagle, a nine palace crane, and a qi grand lion, these three desolate beasts above him. Other than that, Seven Star Child immortal zombie was also ready to attack.
"Three desolate beasts are nothing much, but this immortal zombie..." The golden fur giant monkey's golden pupils shined with wariness.
He lowered his head, looking around and deciding to break through from the right side.
On his right, there was a ghost face tortoise, Shi Lei made up his mind and took a huge step forward, charging towards the ghost face tortoise.
The ghost face tortoise growled, as countless soul beasts emerged from the holes on its shell.
Shi Lei fought against the soul beasts and moved up, his fists sending all of the soul beasts in his way flying.
"This immortal zombie seems to be unable to think, even though he has strength, his beasts are hindering each other, and cannot display their true power. If it was me, I would've attacked long ago. Who cares about the lives of the soul beasts."
Finally, Shi Lei came to the opening of the loophole of the grotto-heaven.
He let out a breath of turbid air, he was just about to relax before he winced, as blood poured out from his back.
"These three accursed rats!" Shi Lei growled in anger, he turned around and raised his fist, sending the flying sword rats flying.
The flying sword rats crashed onto the ground, but they quickly flew towards Shi Lei again.
Shi Lei's eyes shone with a ruthless light, he activated an immortal killer move — Filthy Mud Robe.
Shi Lei used another move, earth's root!
At this time, Seven Star Child immortal zombie finally reacted, he mobilized the soul beast army and ordered the desolate beasts to charge forward fearlessly.
"It is too late, fool." Shi Lei breathed in deeply, the sticky filthy mud robe on his body moved rapidly, detaching from his body and covering the grotto-heaven opening.
Shi Lei placed both his palms on the filthy mud robe, pouring a large amount of immortal essence into it.
Immortal killer move — Earth Disintegration!
He laughed heartily, taking a huge step and forcing his way out.
Shi Lei sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, he shouted in his heart: "Who dares to block my way, I am out of here! That accursed immortal zombie, I will definitely take you down. And for that Fang Yuan, the thief that stole my loot. A mere tiny rank six immortal zombie that doesn't know what is good for him, he dared to offend me!
When I return, I will deal with you properly, and let you know the terrible fate for offending me!"
Thoughts flashed in Shi Lei's mind, but at this time, he heard the growls of flying bears near him.
Shi Lei quickly looked around, seeing that five flying bears had gotten extremely close to him from five different directions.
"What is going on?" He raised his head and looked, only to see six huge star shadows in the sky.
"Why am I still here? I had undoubtedly..." Shi Lei was extremely shocked, his mouth was wide open.
Seven Star Child immortal zombie looked at him as he laughed coldly: "Little monkey, did you think that my seven star space is so simple? I do have to thank you, if you did not awaken me, I might still be stuck in that dream realm. As thanks, I will bury your corpse below my most beloved mountain peak."
By now, Seven Star Child had actually regained his senses, he could think normally again!
"This is bad." Shi Lei's heart sank.
Five flying bears raised their paws, attacking the golden fur giant monkey.
"Scram!" Shi Lei was just about to erupt, when starlight flickered around him, his body became heavier and his movement became slower — Seven Star Child immortal zombie had attacked.
At once, bear paws slammed down from all directions.
Shi Lei shielded himself on his left and right, but he was unable to protect himself thoroughly, when he finally got rid of his restraint, he rolled and escaped from the five bears.
"I have no choice, I will have to seek help from the sect! Hmph, to think that I, the grand Immortal Monkey King, was forced to use seek help Gu at this moment! Where will my reputation go after this? Fang Yuan, this is all your fault, after I am saved, I will make sure you pay!!" Shi Lei shouted in his heart, he was going to puke blood from anger.
Two star desolate hounds traveled over, and the ghost face tortoise also floated ahead of him soundlessly.
Immortal Monkey King raised his head, shouting at Seven Star Child immortal zombie: "Fight me for three hundred more rounds if you have the guts!"
Seven Star Child immortal zombie laughed arrogantly: "Sure, come here."
The golden fur giant monkey growled as sharp golden light burst out, forcing Seven Star Child immortal zombie to squint in response.
After the golden light faded, Shi Lei regained his human form, he charged into the forest and sped away rapidly.
He ran away!
Seven Star Child immortal zombie was shocked for a while before reacting, responding angrily: "You dare to trick me? I thought you were a heroic champion who would rather battle to the death and would never give up! Escape, go ahead and run, I want to see where you can escape to in this grotto-heaven of mine?!"
...
"We are here." Fang Yuan looked around him and gave a satisfied nod.
"Where is this?" Hei Lou Lan came out of Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
"This place is Earth Abyss." Fang Yuan lightly replied.
"Earth Abyss?" Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan with an astonished gaze.
"Truly a great place, the earth qi is dense in Earth Abyss and will greatly reduce the time for the blessed land to fall."
Hei Lou Lan nodded then changed the subject: "But the main headquarters of Ancient Soul Sect is in Earth Abyss. Ancient Soul Sect is one of the ten great ancient sects, it is like a colossal beast that has held dominance over the far west for thousands of years. They have occupied Earth Abyss and treat it as their own exclusive domain.
If you want the blessed land to fall here, it is like planting flowers in another person's backyard, aren't you afraid of being found?"
Fang Yuan laughed: "Don't worry, the depths of Earth Abyss are extremely secluded, Ancient Soul Sect has spent thousands of years but has only explored no more than eighteen layers fully, with some brief explorations up to the twenty-seventh layer. From the twenty-eight to thirty-sixth layers, only Ancient Soul Sect's Gu Immortals roam about occasionally.
As long as we plant the blessed land below the fortieth layer, we do not need to be concerned about being discovered even if we make a large commotion."
"Fortieth layer? I remember the exploration of Earth Abyss done by Ancient Soul Sect only found thirty-six layers?" Hei Lou Lan was astonished.
Fang Yuan snickered: "That is because they are incompetent, the depth of Earth Abyss surpasses people's imaginations. How could it stop at thirty-six layers? Just follow me."
Hei Lou Lan saw Fang Yuan's confident appearance and followed him deeper into Earth Abyss.
The place they had appeared was the eighth layer. And as they moved down, they saw many of Ancient Soul Sect's Gu Masters. These Gu Masters mostly were in groups, some were hunting wild beasts while some were gathering underground moss.
The deeper they went, the fewer the number of Gu Masters they saw while the cultivations of the Gu Masters increased correspondingly.
At the thirty-fifth layer, one of Ancient Soul Sect's rank six Gu Immortals was being chased miserably by an ancient desolate beast and four desolate beasts.
This Gu Immortal had helped Fang Yuan, he and Hei Lou Lan were able to smoothly pass through the desolate beasts' camps and enter the thirty-sixth layer.
Here, Fang Yuan walked to the key area according to his previous life's memory.
After setting up six Gu formations, Fang Yuan pointed below his feet and said to Hei Lou Lan: "My attack power is not enough, it is better if you activate your Immortal Gu and attack this muddy ground."
Hei Lou Lan followed Fang Yuan's instruction, she transformed into a strength path phantom giant and punched heavily at the muddy ground three times.
The muddy ground was not completely smashed and only formed a crater that reached seventy to eighty feet.
"Continue, quickly!" Fang Yuan urged before jumping inside.
Hei Lou Lan took a deep breath and jumped inside, punching rapidly.
Fang Yuan and Hei Lou Lan entered this hole to the thirty-seventh layer.
After doing this for some time they reached the fortieth layer and the seal on Star Lord Wan Xiang finally reached its time limit.
"Your estimate was really accurate." Hei Lou Lan placed Star Lord Wan Xiang's corpse on the ground and gazed at Fang Yuan deeply.
Star Lord Wan Xiang's body gradually let out bright starlight.
Several breaths later, vast amounts of earth qi emerged like layers of dust accumulating on the ground.
After five minutes of time, the starlight slowly stopped absorbing earth qi, and formed a large square door. The large door was completely constructed from starlight and was hovering in the air. There was a plaque on top of the door where four words were written - Star Form Blessed Land.
