Chapter 641: May 15th upheaval, Witcher battlefield strikes_2

Even though he deliberately slowed his pace, his cultivation strength was such that he could not slow down much more.

In an instant, Jiang Chen had covered a distance of tens of thousands of miles. Along the way, he encountered no danger, nor did he notice any abnormalities.

For a moment, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but relax, thinking that he might have overthought the situation. This place was not as dangerous as he had imagined.

Swoosh...

Just as this thought crossed Jiang Chen’s mind, a streak of bloody light tore through the void from afar, brutally slamming into him.

Boom...

The Merit Gold Wheel trembled violently, erupting into endless golden light, forcefully shattering the incoming bloody light.

"Looking for death!"

Ambushed out of the blue, Jiang Chen’s reaction was swift. His right hand formed a seal, and he threw a powerful punch towards the source of the bloody light.

This punch, infused with the essence of ancient and modern wisdom, the righteous spirit carried the ability to command Heaven and Earth, suppress mankind, and control the fate of all ages!

It was his Vastness of Three Fists!

In an instant, the overwhelming intent of his punch roared forward like a rolling wave, sending the bloody shadow flying back.

Boom, boom, boom!

The vast intent of his punch surged like a fierce ocean, breaking into the bloody shadow, swamping and crushing its will.

With a sound of a light crack, the will of the bloody shadow scattered, falling powerlessly to the ground.

This was because Jiang Chen had shown mercy, otherwise, this punch could have ground him into dust, completely obliterating him.

It was only then that Jiang Chen had a chance to check out what had ambushed him. But what he saw made him frown.

"A corpse?"

The one who had ambushed Jiang Chen was, surprisingly, a corpse.

To be more precise, it was a creature transformed from the body of a Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan who had attained spirit activation. It was somewhat similar to a zombie, but not quite. It was more like a puppet corpse, devoid of any intelligence.

"Why would there be a corpse of a Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan in the Asura Killing Field?"

"Judging by its attire, it’s obviously a Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan from the era of the Great Ancient Heavenly Court. How could its body appear here?"

"The Asura Killing Field was born after the Ancient Times, the timeline doesn’t match up!"

The appearance of the corpse of a Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan made Jiang Chen realize that something was wrong. It seems that an unforeseen occurrence might have happened in the Asura Killing Field, something that even the Ancestor of the Underworld River didn’t anticipate.

As for whether this body of the Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan was intentionally left here by the Ancestor of the Underworld River, Jiang Chen didn’t consider it at all.

Even if the Ancestor of the Underworld River was incompetent, he couldn’t possibly act against a Dao Monarch from the Demon Clan. He couldn’t afford such a loss.

"Kill!"

Just as Jiang Chen was examining the body of the Dao Monarch, several bloody shadows appeared in the distance, quickly closing in on him.

"Huh?"

"Why are there so many?"

Jiang Chen looked around and noticed that not only in front of him, but also behind and to his sides, large numbers of bloody shadows were emerging. Their numbers were not just in the hundreds, but in the tens of thousands.

It’s just that their strength was generally not too strong.

"Die!"

With a single thought, Jiang Chen summoned his Taichu Divine Sword. It transformed into tens of thousands of sword lights and sliced towards the approaching bloody shadows.

The edge of the Innate Killing Sword was incredibly sharp, the dazzling sword light flashed past, and all the bloody shadows were cleaved apart in an instant, eliminating all signs of life.

"Ancient Demon Clan, they’re all from the Ancient Demon Clan!"

Upon checking the slain shadows, Jiang Chen found that these bloody shadows had all transformed from bodies of the Demon Clan, with strengths ranging from exceptional to common Golden Immortals.

"There are so many bodies of the Demon Clan here, could it be..."

Upon contemplating a possibility, Jiang Chen suddenly waved his sleeve, sweeping out a strong magical power that flattened the entire landscape.

Immediately, Jiang Chen stood on the barren ground, unmoving, sensing his surroundings.

A thick, deep, yet indescribably profound aura, as if carrying a monstrous murderous intent, appeared in Jiang Chen’s perception, further confirming his guess.

It was the aura of the Witch Clan!

The presence of numerous corpses of the Demon Clan and the lingering aura of the Witch Clan underground clearly demonstrated that this was a corner of the Witch-Demon battlefield.

The Witch Clan believed that since they were born of the earth, they should return to the earth after death. Therefore, after a witch dies, there would be no corpse left behind. All would meld into the earth.

To the Witch Clan, melding into the earth was akin to returning to the bosom of Pangu, which was considered sacred.

Among the Witch Clan, there was a rumor that witches would never die; instead, once Pangu, their divine father, awakened, all the members of the Witch Clan who had melded into the earth would awaken from their sleep and join the battle alongside Pangu.

Whether this was true or not was unknown, but it established that witches melded into the earth after death.

When a single location experiences a large-scale death of both witches and demons, it was undoubtedly a Witch-Demon battlefield.

After looking around, Jiang Chen took out the Tao Mirror and used its power to foresee the past, present, and future in order to infer through the Innate Eight Diagrams.

After a moment of deliberation, Jiang Chen finally understood what was happening.

"Even the Underworld River Ancestor probably had not imagined that one day his Asura Slaughter Domain would collide with a fragment of the Witch-Demon battlefield."

With the evolution of the Asura Slaughter Domain, it had accidentally collided with a fragment of the Witch-Demon battlefield that had fallen into the void.

However, thanks to the profound divine ability of the Underworld River Ancestor, the Asura Slaughter Domain he constructed was extremely durable. Even after colliding with the Witch-Demon battlefield, it did not suffer any damage. Instead, it began to fuse with the fragment over time.

As a result, the strength of the Asura Slaughter Domain had increased considerably, which in turn had also increased the danger within.

The innate killing intent within the Asura Slaughter Domain, combined with the evil aura, calamity aura, death aura, and resentment from the Witch-Demon battlefield, who knew what monstrous creature it would birth and how much danger it would cause?

The blood shadows that Jiang Chen had encountered earlier were creatures spawned by the evolution of the Asura Slaughter Domain, transformed from the bodies of dead demons.

Immersed in the innate aura for many years, these corpses gradually gained spiritual intelligence, developing into a new race.

Corpse demons!

Monsters cultivated from spiritually awakened corpses.

They were not zombies but corpse demons. Though both were corpses, there was a significant difference between them.

Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth, living forever, wandering outside of the Six Paths, and straying within the Three Realms.

They are born in darkness and grow in darkness, feeding on the blood of living beings. They are despised by all beings, and are the most unfathomable creatures of the Six Paths and the Three Realms.

They are creatures despised even by the Heavenly Dao, synonymous with unknown and taboo. Associated with them, one would eventually be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

Upon meeting such abominations, even immortal beings would mainly resort to slaying them. There are no exceptions.

Corpse demons, on the other hand, are monsters cultivated from spiritually awakened corpses. They accumulate the aura of heaven and earth for cultivation, just like other cultivators. Essentially, they are not abnormal beings.

However, the corpse demons in the Asura Slaughter Domain have been contaminated by the innate killing intent, losing all reason and degenerating into monsters only capable of slaughter.

"Sigh!"

"Pitiful. You should have started over, but instead, you arose in the wrong place and degenerated into monsters. Allow me to end your misery once and for all."

Had these corpse demons been born elsewhere, they might have had the chance to certify the Tao again. But being born here, they were destined to be contaminated by the innate killing intent.

With a sigh, Jiang Chen used the Tower of Heaven and Earth to collect all the demon corpses, allowing the world inside the tower to devour them to enhance the tower’s power.

Pity them?

How could that be possible?

The Human Race and the Demon Clan are mortal enemies. There may have been times in the past when these very demons participated in slaughtering humans.

It’s impossible for Jiang Chen to pity them. This is a matter of standpoints. His unshakeable standpoint is to always put humans first.

The Tower of Heaven and Earth desired to advance, requiring a great deal of resources to devour. These demon corpses were perfectly suitable. Devouring them could substantially enhance the Tower’s power.

Once the Tower of Heaven and Earth advances, Jiang Chen could use it to protect the Human Race. That would be a form of atonement for these demons.

...

...

"Witch-Demon battlefield!"

"This place, is dangerous."

Speaking of the danger, yet there was not a shred of fear in Jiang Chen’s eyes. On the contrary, he became more excited.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

The bigger the danger, the greater the opportunity.

Although the transformation of the Asura Slaughter Domain into the Witch-Demon battlefield made it more dangerous, without a doubt, it also hid more opportunities.
