Previously, the three of them had killed the Iron Corpse Marshal. Lu Ye had obtained around 10,000 battle points, which could be traded for a Golden Amulet.

 

Based on his calculations, even though the Golden Corpse King was significantly more important than the Iron Corpse Marshal, Lu Ye would only get several ten thousand battle points by killing him.

 

But it wasn’t the truth. The battle points he obtained after killing the Golden Corpse King were tremendously more than he thought.

 

This had something to do with the fact that the Golden Corpse King was the source of the calamity in the Peerless Continent. After the biggest obstacle was destroyed, the rest of the problem could be solved easily.

 

More and more eager cultivators from Jiu Zhou arrived. All the Corpse Race members in the Peerless Continent would be eliminated in no time.

 

The goal that the people from Purple Star Palace had been trying to achieve for the past 1,000 years would finally become a reality.

 

Upon hearing Lan Zi Yi’s question, Lu Ye replied without looking at her, “You can take it if you want it.”

 

Lan Zi Yi instantly turned him down. “No, thanks.”

 

She could tell that the broken palm was extraordinary. Although it was a wonderful thing, she wasn’t powerful enough to possess it. She had seen how the Golden Corpse King had suffered miserably in the end. As such, she knew she couldn’t control this thing.

 

The intense battle had attracted the attention of nearby Jiu Zhou cultivators, but before the dust settled, no one dared go near the battlefield. That was because the repercussions of the battle were terrifying.

 

After the battle ended, many people showed up, but they only looked at the battlefield from afar, not daring to approach them.

 

Lu Ye continued to look through his Battlefield Imprint, where he saw several messages. He soon realised that Li Baxian had sent him those messages.

 

After a brief conversation, he discovered that Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan had arrived in the Peerless Continent as well.

 

That wasn’t surprising, though. There was a Divine Opportunity Column in Ameliorate Arcane Glade, so it was naturally connected to the Peerless Continent as well.

 

In fact, all the Divine Opportunity Columns on the Cloud River Battlefield were connected to the Peerless Continent, which made it easier for Jiu Zhou cultivators to come here and eliminate the Corpse Race.

 

However, Li Baxian only knew that he was near Purple Star Palace. As for his exact location, he was clueless. After all, he knew nothing about the Peerless Continent. Since it was his first time in this world, it was only natural that he wasn’t aware of his current location. Moreover, everyone was busy hunting down the Corpse Race members to acquire battle points, so he didn’t have time to collect more information.

 

Lu Ye was puzzled as to why Li Baxian was near Purple Star Palace, but soon, he thought of something and became relieved.

 

While he was communicating with Li Baxian, a thunderous Sword Cry was heard approaching him. In the blink of an eye, a Sword Light reached him and dissipated, revealing two figures.

 

One of them was Mu Qingyun, and the other was Hua Ci.

 

After receiving Lan Zi Yi’s call for help, Hua Ci immediately came over. However, as a Medical Cultivator, she couldn’t fly very fast. As such, Mu Qingyun offered to give her a ride. There was no doubt he could move swiftly as a Sword Cultivator, so he could bring the woman to this place in a short time.

 

“Why are you so badly injured again?” When Hua Ci saw how battered Lu Ye was, she approached him and examined his wounds.

 

“Take a look at Ju Jia first. I’m fine.” Lu Ye pointed at Ju Jia, who was lying on the ground.

 

Hua Ci nodded and approached Ju Jia. After giving him an examination, she activated her power and treated his injury.

 

“Did all of you… kill the Golden Corpse King?” Mu Qingyun took a look at the battlefield and the headless corpse before realising what had happened.

 

Although he didn’t take part in the battle, the injuries of these three people and the traces on the battlefield showed that it had been a tough fight.

 

At that moment, he was frustrated that he didn’t participate in the battle. That was indeed a shame.

 

Previously, he was struck with Source Corpse Poison, so he had no choice but to seek Hua Ci’s help. It could only be said that he was unlucky.

 

While they were busy, many Corpse Race members were running away from the Muddy Sky Temple. Cultivators from Jiu Zhou, Purple Star Palace, and the bases were running after them.

 

The Muddy Sky Temple was the biggest foundation for the Corpse Race in the Peerless Continent. The Golden Corpse King was always hibernating in this place, and the three Corpse Marshals were usually there to ensure his safety.

 

Now, the Golden Corpse King was destroyed, and the three Corpse Marshals were killed. Although some of the remaining Corpse Race members were fairly powerful, they could no longer turn things around. Their death was only a matter of time.

 

There was only one Soaring Dragon Boat left as it hovered above the battlefield near Purple Star Palace. A weakened Pang Huanyin was recuperating while looking down from the deck. She was amazed by what she saw.

 

She was exhausted after a long battle. After all, she had killed more Corpse Race members this time than the total number she had destroyed in the past.

 

Even though she wanted to kill even more Corpse Race members, she had no more energy left. As such, she could only recover her power first.

 

Elder Xiao wasn’t in a better state. As the two of them looked at the battle, they were relieved despite their fatigue.

 

Finally, they were able to witness the end of the Corpse Race. The perseverance and the hard work of the people from Purple Star Palace for the past 1,000 years were worth it, after all.

 

Now, there were still Jiu Zhou cultivators passing through the doors and going out to hunt down the Corpse Race.

 

Elder Xiao was curious. “Palace Master, the guests from Jiu Zhou seem eager to kill the Corpse Race. Were they also harassed by the Corpse Race before?”

 

In fact, they were not just eager; they were fervent.

 

When the cultivators from Jiu Zhou first came to this world, many of them were injured or killed. However, the setbacks didn’t stop their determination and passion for killing the Corpse Race.

 

From Elder Xiao’s perspective, he reckoned that these Jiu Zhou cultivators must hold some grudges against the Corpse Race. They seemed determined to eliminate all of them.

 

Therefore, the guests were now the driving force behind the effort to kill the enemies while locals like them were more like assistants.

 

Even though some Corpse Race members were running away, cultivators from Jiu Zhou were still relentlessly hunting them down. They soon disappeared into the distance.

 

“That’s not the case. However, they can get something called battle points by killing the Corpse Race,” Pang Huanyin explained. She had heard about it from Hua Ci.

 

When she was observing the battle a while ago, she realised that even though there were many cultivators from Jiu Zhou, they were divided into many smaller groups. As such, she was worried that they were not united. Once they suffered some setbacks or came across formidable enemies, their morale would be crushed, and there would be dreadful consequences.

 

Nevertheless, Hua Ci told her not to worry. Although these cultivators from Jiu Zhou were not united, they wouldn’t run away from the Corpse Race. That was because battle points were what drove them to kill the enemies. That was the best motivation for them.

 

“Battle points?” Elder Xiao was puzzled.

 

“It seems that they can trade battle points for different types of cultivation resources. Anyway, Corpse Race members are like prey to them.”

 

Upon hearing her explanation, Elder Xiao replied, “I see.”

 

In the entire Peerless Continent, there was no doubt the Muddy Sky Temple was the most clamorous place. This was the Corpse Race’s foundation with the highest number of Corpse Race members. The Heavens from Jiu Zhou had established many doors there and sent a lot of cultivators to this place. As both parties clashed, the battle was naturally intense.

 

It was fanatical in the other three Hidden Realms too.

 

The four Divine Opportunity Columns installed by Lu Ye had grown by absorbing the powers from the ley lines. As a result, the ley lines were depleted, causing the three Hidden Realms controlled by Humans to be exposed. They could no longer wander around the Void in secret.

 

When the doors were opened, the people from Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru were flustered. Such a thing had never happened in the past 1,000 years.

 

The ability of the Hidden Realms to stealthily wander around the Void was what kept them safe. Now that the doors were opened, they had lost their biggest advantage. Therefore, it was only natural that they panicked.

 

The opening of the doors was conspicuous, so the attention of nearby Corpse Race members was instantly attracted. Left with no choice, the cultivators from Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru could only contend with their enemies.

 

Just as Lu Ye had thought, when the time came, the people from the two Hidden Realms had to fight the Corpse Race despite their reluctance.

 

On the other hand, the situation was even worse in Purple Star Palace.

 

Those from Silver Snake Valley and Mount Sumeru still had their foundations. Faced with a large number of Corpse Race members, they just had to guard their doors. They had the ability to protect themselves.

 

But the same couldn’t be said of Purple Star Palace. Pang Huanyin had taken most of the cultivators with her. The ones who stayed behind were old and frail cultivators. There were also many commoners.

 

Faced with such a crisis, how were the people from the Palace supposed to fend off their enemies? Once the Corpse Race members barged into their Hidden Realm, all of them would be killed.

 

At the most critical moment, doors made from light appeared near Purple Star Palace. There were not as many doors as those near the Muddy Sky Temple, but a lot of cultivators emerged.

 

The moment they arrived, a message exploded in their minds, telling them to protect Purple Star Palace.

 

Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan were among this batch of people. That was the reason Li Baxian could tell Lu Ye he was near Purple Star Palace. That was the only piece of information he knew about this world.

 

Therefore, he decided to contact Lu Ye. It wasn’t that he already knew Lu Ye was in the Peerless Continent. He just felt that regardless of where Lu Ye was, the latter would definitely want to take part in such a major event.

 

Unbeknownst to him, this major event was caused by Lu Ye and the other eight people.

 

In the Muddy Sky Temple, Hua Ci gave Ju Jia and Lu Ye some treatment before dispelling Source Corpse Poison for Lan Zi Yi. When she was done with all that, she left in a hurry with Mu Qingyun’s protection.

 

After all, she was the only Medical Cultivator who could get rid of Source Corpse Poison. The cultivators from Jiu Zhou learned of her ability not long after they arrived in this world.

 

Many cultivators might get hurt during the battles and were struck with Source Corpse Poison. As such, they would head to the Soaring Dragon Boat to seek her help.

 

Naturally, Hua Ci wouldn’t turn down such a task that would also benefit her.
