"Run! The reappearance of the Zhu Yan is inevitable. Good luck to all of you!"
An atmosphere of terror was resurfacing, and the two groups of people who had entered Hanyang Lake earlier began to emerge one by one.
Of the four people dispatched by the Divine Emperor Family, three were seriously injured. Only Ji Jingyun, wielding the Shennongjia sword, protected the other three as they retreated from the bottom of the lake. The replica ancestral artifacts in the hands of the other two had shattered, which shows how terrifying their encounter at the bottom of the lake must have been.
Under the protection of Lie Shanming, the only one at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Ji Jingyun extracted a hand bone and three percent of the bloodline power from the Zhu Yan's corpse. This gain was already quite considerable. It should be noted that the Zhu Yan lying here was a demigod in life. To obtain its hand bone and the three percent of the bloodline power that had been reborn was of immense value.
None of the three members of the Holy Spirit Clan perished, but they failed to destroy even half of the Zhu Yan's heart. On the contrary, because of the Zhu Yan's heart, the three suffered a fierce attack from the skeletons. If it weren't for Tang Wan's unparalleled combat power, they might have perished at the bottom of the lake today. Even so, Fu Tian was severely injured among the three. Because he was the one who added the runes to the half of the Zhu Yan's heart, he was the first to bear the brunt of the backlash and suffered the greatest damage.
However, compared to the members of the Divine Emperor Family, Tang Wan and her two companions achieved far better results. Not only did they infuse the Holy Spirit Clan's Holy Spirit Mark into the Zhu Yan skeleton, but they also obtained one-tenth of the Zhu Yan skeleton's bloodline power, which contained many ancient and lost secret techniques.
"Walk!"
The two groups dared not linger any longer. They had stolen Zhu Yan's things, and when Zhu Yan reappeared, it would surely hunt them down immediately. Therefore, they had to hide well during this time to ensure that the strong members of their clan would come to their aid.
The group of people who left without hesitation didn't care what caused the massive explosion at Hanyang Lake and the premature reappearance of Zhu Yan; they just wanted to escape this hellish place.
As people left, others arrived. While the Divine Emperor Family and the Holy Son and Daughter were leaving, Hanyang Lake also welcomed two uninvited guests.
Chi Yu, who took over the entire Zhu Yan skeleton, and Jiang Yuan, who detonated the Nine Spirits Domain but still had an ultimate goal.
"Crimson Flames in the Water!"
Hongshao, whose neck was being gripped by Jiang Yuan, struggled fiercely while also preparing for the worst. If he tried to kill her, she would end their lives together.
The red flames burned in the water, complementing the blood, but Jiang Yuan seemed unaffected. He merely gave the sweet potato a slightly warning look before continuing his descent into the lake.
Zhu Yan is reviving. If it were just reviving like that, he probably wouldn't care. But since Chi Yu wants to intervene, he has no choice but to get involved.
He was always a fraction slower than Akabane. By the time he arrived, the Zhu Yan skeleton in the ground had already sat up, like a lost creature sinking in the endless sea, contemplating the meaning of its existence.
"It's you!"
The Zhu Yan skeleton suddenly focused its gaze on Jiang Yuan, and with its faint senses, it said, "You were the one who stole my heart from the fire-attribute divine vein!"
"Insight!"
Jiang Yuan immediately detected Zhu Yan's remains, but the result was that the other party had already reached the Divine Realm.
If he had possessed the Demon God's Vein and Demon God Body in the past, he might have thought he could still put up a fight, but now, he is no longer qualified to fight against someone in the God Realm; the gap is too great.
"I told you, I would kill you, skin you alive, and then swallow your heart!" Zhu Yan's skeleton made its move, a hand that could easily crush refined gold reaching out to grab him.
"Xie Chuan's soul has been suppressed by the beastmen!"
When Jiang Yuan saw the Zhu Yan skeleton attack him, his first thought was not his own safety, but the Xie Chuan soul hidden inside the Zhu Yan skeleton.
If Xie Chuan had succeeded, then the Zhu Yan skeleton would definitely contain a part of his soul, meaning that the Zhu Yan skeleton would be under Xie Chuan's control within a small area. Judging from the current performance of the Zhu Yan skeleton, it is clear that Xie Chuan has not succeeded.
"Nine Spirits Domain!"
With the blessing of infinite divine power, Jiang Yuan once again unleashed the Nine Spirits Domain and detonated it without hesitation. This time, although it did not have the help of destructive power, it still blocked the attack of the Zhu Yan skeleton and caused the Hanyang Lake to surge with huge waves.
"In the name of Death, I awaken the departed!"
With a flick of his hand, Jiang Yuan summoned nearly a million marks of the dead, each of which then attached itself to Zhu Yan's remains.
His move was simply to give Xie Chuan a better chance. He needed some powerful helpers, Gu Anlei was one, Lin Siyin was another, and Xie Chuan was also one.
The mark of the dead was used, and Xie Chuan's soul, which had been sleeping within the Zhu Yan skeleton, began to awaken. In order to survive, he began to fight for the life force existing within the Zhu Yan skeleton.
The blood of a god could bring Zhu Yan's remains back to life, and so could his own; this was his most fundamental obsession.
The Zhu Yan skeleton began to struggle, and it was clear that Chi Yu, who had entered the Zhu Yan skeleton, was starting to lose control of it.
"Flame Nether Demon!"
Hongshao suddenly made a move, sending a tiny figure the size of a palm straight into Jiang Yuan's soul.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan, who had entered a demonic state, possessed a true demonic soul. This kind of negative soul attack had no effect on him; on the contrary, it would provoke his counterattack.
"The profound truth of life and death—Ghost Burial!"
Sure enough, when Jiang Yuan realized that Hongshao had launched a sneak attack, he used the Mark of the Dead to attack Hongshao.
In an instant, the bottom of the lake became a gloomy ghost field, with countless spirits condensed from energy swirling around Sweet Potato.
Jiang Yuan then flew a hundred meters away, drawing his bow underwater. "The glory stained with the blood of others is nothing compared to the sincerity of the glory stained with one's own blood!"
