Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Sky Swallowing Sparrow Corpse

“The Ancient Demon-eating Flower is immune to blades and spears, only fearing fire!”

Kong Sheng relayed to everyone, “Just use fire to disperse them, no need to entangle with them!”

“Yes!”

Reminded by Kong Sheng, everyone finally found a way to deal with the Ancient Demon-eating Flowers, each conjured up clusters of Demon Fire and bombarded those flowers.

The Demon Fire of the Peacock Clan, although not as powerful as that of clans like Qilin and Golden Crow from the Imperial Family, was nevertheless very formidable and sufficient to handle these demon-eating flowers.

Having driven back all the demon-eating flowers, the members of the Peacock Clan promptly sped through that area. Although the Demon Fire of the Peacock Clan could repel the Ancient Demon-eating Flowers, it couldn’t inflict substantial damage on them.

Moreover, even if they were slain, these things held no medicinal value and could actually lead to losses of lives, hence not worth the risk.

Once the group had passed through the territory of the Ancient Demon-eating Flowers, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The dangers here indeed caught them off guard. If someone had ventured into Corpse Emperor Mountain alone, the likelihood of perishing would have been incredibly high!

“This is just the appetizer; the main show is still to come!”

Kong Sheng cautioned everyone with a grave expression, “Stay alert; do not slack off!”

No one dared to take the situation lightly. If the appetizer was already this dangerous, it was terrifying to imagine what they would face next!

However, just as Kong Sheng’s words ended, the ground beneath their feet suddenly exploded open. A thick vine, resembling a giant python, burst forth, ensnaring a Venerable of the Peacock Clan and pulling him into the air!

A chilling aura enveloped the vine. As soon as the ancient vine wrapped around the body of the powerful individual from the Peacock Clan, his body was instantly frozen into an ice statue, with no chance to struggle!

“It’s the Taiyin Ancient Vine!”

Kong Sheng recognized the origin of this vine. This was no ordinary vine but a fearsome creature from ancient times, not inferior to the demon-eating flowers!

“Quick, save him!”

Everyone was shocked. Having heard of the notorious Taiyin Ancient Vine, they knew they had to act fast to save their companion, or he might not be retrievable.

But, just at that moment, the ground beneath them exploded again, and multiple ancient vines burst forth, attacking everyone!

In an instant, apart from Lin Yi, Kong Sheng, and Kong Lingxiang, the rest were caught by the Taiyin Ancient Vines and whisked away!

Both Kong Sheng and Kong Lingxiang unleashed their Divine Skills, striking at the vines, but their speed in cutting through the vines fell far short of the vines’ ability to heal, making it impossible to rescue the others.

Suddenly, a loud and clear phoenix cry echoed through the skies, shaking the earth. The terrifying Phoenix True Fire transformed into sword light, sweeping out like a storm!

Every vine was severed where the sword light passed, broken and shattered, and the captured members of the Peacock Clan were finally saved!

“Let’s go!”

Lin Yi led at the front of the group, combating the Taiyin Ancient Vine and clearing a path for everyone. The mighty Phoenix Nine Slashes, even the Taiyin Ancient Vine could not withstand and was forced to retreat.

After leading the group out from the dangerous area, Lin Yi also took several deep drinks from the Holy Spring to recover his strength. “If the Ancient Phoenix knew that I was using her Holy Method to pave the way, she would probably die of anger, right?”

“It’s too terrifying, this Corpse Emperor Mountain is truly not a place for ordinary people!”

A young Venerable, already quite frightened, had just entered the territory of Corpse Emperor Mountain and had encountered danger repeatedly. If not for Lin Yi and Kong Sheng, their group would have suffered severe losses.

Their purpose here was to target the Vigorous Corpse Emperor, but now they had yet to even see a shadow of the Pi Jue Corpse Clan, and they had nearly lost half of their numbers.

No Man’s Forbidden Zone truly lived up to its name!

Lin Yi reflected, but at that moment, he grew even more interested in this so-called forbidden area. This place was thrilling, yet opportunity often existed alongside great dangers. This forbidden zone undoubtedly also harbored significant opportunities.

After a brief rest, Lin Yi and his companions set out again, continuing deeper into Corpse Emperor Mountain.

Along the way, they encountered many individuals from other clans, all with dejected expressions, clearly having faced significant setbacks within Corpse Emperor Mountain.

Unless belonging to the Imperial Family, any clan’s individuals encountering the Ancient Demon-eating Flowers and Taiyin Ancient Vines would inevitably suffer greatly.

After some struggles, Lin Yi and his group entered a canyon.

The canyon seemed like an independent small world, different from the outside, with a chilling aura, bones everywhere, and an emanating smell of decay.

It was a piece of Evil Land, seemingly cursed, with not a blade of grass growing and filled with omens of ill fortune.

“Could this be the Seal of the Corpse Emperor?”

Kong Lingxiang swallowed nervously. Such an ominous place seemed cursed, making one feel uneasy just by being there.

But this remark drew mockery from Lin Yi, “The seal of the Corpse Emperor, is it so easy to enter?”

In Lin Yi’s view, this was at most a small hideout for the Corpse Clan.

Finally, ahead there appeared a huge skeleton, that of an Ancient Giant Beast. Even though only its bones remained, it still emitted a terrifying holy power that seemed capable of devouring the heavens and the earth.

“Could this be… the remains of the Sky Swallowing Sparrow?”

Kong Sheng’s voice, filled with surprise, suddenly rang out nearby.
