Chapter 154 Earth Spirit Orb
One by one, people were cured of the corpse poison. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Master Luo's face grew increasingly pale. Finally, he gave a cold "humph," flicked his sleeves, and left.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly. From beginning to end, he had never taken Master Luo seriously.
You see me as an enemy, and I see you as an ant.
The difference between immortals and mortals is thus.
Those who cultivate immortality never look down upon all living beings with power, but rather with a transcendent and extraordinary life. Just as a person may be injured by a tiger or leopard, they ultimately remain the most intelligent of all beings, standing proudly above all other races.
Those who can achieve immortality stand out from the masses, mastering Yin and Yang, controlling the Five Elements, seizing creation, holding life and death in their hands, keeping company with the stars, and shining as brightly as the sun and moon.
Lin Yi did not linger in Baihe Village for too long. He told Doctor Han that the well water would lose its effectiveness in ten days, and then he left the village.
To the east of Baihe Village lies Heishui Town, to the north is Yufo Temple, and to the southwest is Guiyin Mountain, where a gang of bandits originally lived, calling themselves the Guiyin Gang. However, their territory was recently seized by Miao people from outside the village, leaving them homeless and destitute.
After leaving Beihe Village, Lin Yi headed east.
The road leading to Blackwater Town was filled with a fishy stench, and the short grass on the ground looked rotten and had a sticky feel to it.
Blackwater Town was deserted, and the houses in the town were all gloomy and dilapidated. The broken doors and windows were blown by the wind and made a hoarse "creaking" sound.
The former prosperity has vanished, leaving only devastation.
Lin Yi sighed and walked towards the mass grave at the other end of the town.
As darkness fell, a hilly area stretched out ahead, with will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air. In the darkness, scattered tombstones could be vaguely seen.
Just then, a gust of wind blew down from the hill, carrying the smell of sand and earth, a smell that seemed to be the stench of corpses being left to rot. The further one went, the fewer upright tombstones there were, and the more messy and crooked graves appeared, so dilapidated that it was impossible to discern the original appearance of the burial sites.
If you continue walking forward, there are no more graves or tombs, only old coffins or skeletons exposed to the elements, emitting a faint phosphorescent glow among the weeds.
Not long after, Lin Yi stopped in front of a huge cemetery.
The flat ground in front of them was quite different from the previous one. It was a very spacious front courtyard with several life-sized terracotta warrior statues standing guard over the giant tomb behind it.
Amidst the stark desolation, the imposing presence of this large burial site only amplifies its grandeur.
“General’s Tomb.” Lin Yi walked to the tomb and observed it briefly. He saw a shallow engraving on the ground that formed the shape of a door.
He stepped onto the door embedded in the ground, and the stone slab slid down automatically, revealing several stone steps.
A faint light shone from the ground, which, rather than illuminating anything, only served to accentuate the darkness deep within the tomb.
Lin Yi stepped down the steps, and after walking about ten stone steps, the path ahead became flat.
This is a huge underground labyrinth, with countless winding and twisting passages.
Lin Yi had no intention of navigating the maze. With a thought, the Five Elements Formation of the Primordial Chaos unfolded, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through layer after layer of the maze.
A faint, eerie blue light finally appeared ahead, and at the end of the light was a raised stone platform.
On the stone platform sat a huge coffin, a hundred feet long and fifty feet wide. At first glance, it looked like a square boat. If it weren't for the lacquer paintings on the coffin depicting images of hell, one would not have been able to tell that it was a coffin.
The outer coffin, used to enclose the inner coffin, was a grand and imposing structure typically reserved for wealthy families who buried their members in both coffin and outer coffin.
As Lin Yi arrived, the blue light on the coffin trembled uneasily, followed by a deep, resonant voice, as if emanating from hell:
"Who...waks...this...general?!"
A withered corpse floated out of the coffin. The body was dressed in heavy armor, and its physique was imposing and very tall.
The withered corpse, which had been floating in mid-air, slowly sat up and said coldly, "A living person? Are you angry?"
Lin Yi was too lazy to answer. With a flick of his finger, a myriad sword illusion array flew out, its sword energy piercing the air and instantly turning the withered corpse into a sieve.
As the withered corpse perished, a loud "boom" was heard, and the ground suddenly shook violently.
The entire structure at the bottom of the tomb shook violently, and with a loud crash, the ground completely cracked open.
The earth collapsed and rocks caved in, with millions of tons of sand and gravel falling down, as if to bury Lin Yi alive.
After a long while, the shaking gradually subsided.
Looking around, Lin Yi saw a sea of blood stretching as far as the eye could see.
The stones or pieces of wood that had just fallen from above were slowly rotating and sinking into the sea of blood.
After all the debris on the surface of the water sank to the bottom, a small whirlpool appeared in the still, heavy sea of blood.
The vortex swirled and grew larger and larger, until with a "whoosh," a magnificent figure suddenly emerged from it, staring menacingly at Lin Yi.
The monster's skin was wrinkled, its face was extremely old and pale like a zombie, its eyes emitted a faint black light, its messy white hair hung down its back, and it exuded an indescribable aura.
Lin Yi said calmly, "The Crimson Demon King."
"You ignorant little brat, since you're here, stay." The Red Demon King's voice was so deep it sounded like bubbles rising underwater, making it extremely unpleasant to listen to.
Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spewed out a foul stench as he lunged at Lin Yi.
Villains often die from talking too much, and the Red Demon King truly understands the importance of striking first.
Unfortunately, this time his opponent was Lin Yi, a man who traveled through various worlds and possessed countless cheat codes.
Lin Yi pointed, and a mighty river of blood flew out from the Taixu robe, the Blood River Reincarnation Array unfolded, directly engulfing the Crimson Ghost King.
The River of Blood flowed and merged into the Sea of Blood below. The Sea of Blood, created by the Crimson Demon King's slaughter of countless lives, ultimately served as a stepping stone for others.
