Chapter 833: The Corpse Lord

Ye Yuan laid Caiyue flat on the ground, casually took out over a hundred Earth Element Crystals, and quickly began arranging them around her.

The formation he set up was similar to a spirit-gathering array, but it was used to gather extreme yin energy.

Ye Yuan set up the formation very quickly, and it was completed before long.

Once the formation was complete, it began to operate automatically.

Vast amounts of extreme yin energy howled as they converged into the formation.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan frowned.

"Caiyue has lost consciousness and cannot absorb the extreme yin energy on her own. Continuing like this will only harm her body! Forget it, I'll go the whole way and help you one more time!"

Ye Yuan lightly leaped and entered the formation.

He helped Caiyue sit up, wrapped her in a layer of primal energy to keep her steady, and then placed their palms together.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Yuan circulated his primal energy, absorbing all the extreme yin energy gathered by the formation into his own body, then transferred it through his palms into Caiyue's body.

Thus, the extreme yin energy in Caiyue's body accumulated more and more, and her body grew colder and colder.

In the end, there was not even a trace of life force left in her.

Yet Ye Yuan seemed unaware and continued to pour extreme yin energy into her body.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Caiyue with some excitement.

He had just clearly sensed a trace of yang energy emerging from Caiyue's body!

"Hmm..."

Caiyue frowned slightly and let out a soft moan, actually reviving from the brink of death!

Gradually, the yang energy within Caiyue's body grew stronger and stronger.

When she slowly opened her eyes, she was startled.

Ye Yuan was actually using his own body to channel extreme yin energy into her—this would cause him great harm!

"Focus your mind and continue absorbing the extreme yin energy! We'll talk later! You've essentially died once, and the Heavenly Yin Absolute Meridian constitution has been broken. From now on, it won't claim your life but will instead make your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds! This extreme yin energy is greatly beneficial to your cultivation; absorb it with all your might." Seeing Caiyue awake, Ye Yuan withdrew his palms and instructed.

Caiyue's heart tightened. She nodded slightly and began to absorb the extreme yin energy with full force.

Ye Yuan rose and left the formation. As soon as he landed, he stumbled and nearly fell.

Black Wind was startled and quickly said, "Master, are you all right?"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The extreme yin energy here is indeed formidable; even my constitution can barely suppress it! Friend inside, you've been watching for so long—do you intend to keep watching like this?"

Black Wind was stunned; he hadn't noticed that there was someone else here!

A figure emerged from behind the yin cave—a middle-aged man in a black robe.

In appearance, this middle-aged man seemed no different from an ordinary person. But the faint green light emanating from his eyes was quite eerie.

"It seems we have disturbed your cultivation. Apologies." Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

The middle-aged man spoke, "You absorbed so much extreme yin energy and yet you didn't die!"

The middle-aged man's voice was very hoarse, sounding extremely dry and quite unpleasant.

"Just some extreme yin energy, not enough to kill me. But I didn't expect this yin cave to be the dwelling of a corpse sovereign. I was anxious to save someone, so I was a bit presumptuous," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

This middle-aged man was actually an eighth-rank corpse sovereign!

Apart from his eyes, he seemed almost no different from a normal person.

This yin cave was a death trap for human martial artists, but for the corpse sovereign, it was an excellent cultivation ground.

Not a single zombie was seen nearby, clearly because they dared not approach—this was the dwelling of the man before them!

Of course, if the corpse sovereign hadn't been wary of Black Wind, he would have attacked Ye Yuan long ago.

The middle-aged man studied Ye Yuan for a moment and said, "I've seen you before. You... are very formidable!"

"Oh? So you were there that day too. I didn't expect you to remember me," Ye Yuan said, somewhat surprised.

"We zombies are very sensitive to scent. Though you've covered yourself with aloeswood powder, your original smell can't fool me," the corpse sovereign said.

The aloeswood powder worked on low-level zombies, but for a corpse sovereign of this rank, it was essentially useless.

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Well, we don't need to reminisce. But I am curious—you corpse sovereigns have been here for a long time, coexisting peacefully with human martial artists. Why this time did you control the low-level zombies to attack humans?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said, "It has nothing to do with us! But I cannot tell you the reason."

"Alright, let me ask another question. What kind of existence is sealed within this Ancient Sealing Demon Array? If I'm not mistaken, this zombie tide must be related to it, right?" Ye Yuan asked with a faint smile.

The middle-aged man had a deadpan face, utterly expressionless. But at this moment, he was clearly shocked by Ye Yuan's guess.

In fact, Ye Yuan had seen through the array's reality that day. The reason he dragged the seven sacred lands into this was to find more help to deal with the situation.

Ye Yuan had a deep understanding of formations. The Ancient Sealing Demon Array was a famous array from ancient times, a tenth-rank array that only divine realm experts could set up!

Whatever such an array sealed must be no ordinary thing.

That day, Ye Yuan had clearly sensed the loosening of the Ancient Sealing Demon Array and the extremely dangerous aura emanating from the Burial Ground.

If such a thing broke free, the devastation would not be limited to just the White Martial Domain.

That was why Ye Yuan had gathered so many people to come down—to prevent that thing from breaking free!

"You actually recognize the Ancient Sealing Demon Array! It seems you're even harder to deal with than I thought. But even if you know, it's useless. I advise you to return to the surface and leave this area as soon as possible," the corpse sovereign said, astonished.

Ye Yuan sighed softly, "What can I say? I'm just a softie. If I hadn't encountered this, fine. But since I, Ye Yuan, have come across it, I can't let it escape! If it proves impossible, I'll reconsider later."

Ye Yuan didn't have much attachment to the White Martial Domain, but he did have some feelings for the Red Cloud Sacred Land.

This feeling was very similar to when he was at the Nether Cloud Sect back then.

He couldn't bear to watch this place be devastated!

Leaving the White Martial Domain was only a last resort.

A major sacred land, deeply rooted—how easy would it be to relocate?

"Boom!"

At that moment, Caiyue erupted with a powerful aura within the formation, actually breaking through on the spot!

"It seems my friend has recovered considerably, thanks to your dwelling. Well then, I'll grant you a stroke of fortune!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
