Ling Tian Sword God

On a completely black tree hung several black fruits, each of them radiating a deep luster, like five black holes greedily absorbing the surrounding heavenly earth energy.

Soul Yu Ancient Tree.

Though it might not be as famous as the Undying Tree, the effects of the Soul Yu Ancient Tree are in no way inferior.

Consuming the Undying Fruit can enhance the grade of the Saint Body, whereas swallowing the Soul Ghostly Fruits can strengthen mental power cultivation and martial will.

It might sound vague, but for Ling Chen, if he were to consume the Soul Ghostly Fruit, his Sword Spirit Embryo could likely evolve into a complete Sword Spirit!

"How could such a thing appear here?"

Ling Chen also licked his lips, with a hint of burning light in his eyes.

Ling Yin gazed at the black tree with immense surprise and immediately seemed unable to resist walking over. However, just as her steps were about to take off, Ling Chen’s expression suddenly changed drastically, and he grabbed her smooth wrist and retreated swiftly.

And right in the moment Ling Chen grabbed Ling Yin and retreated, the ground suddenly exploded at the spot they were standing, and a black giant hand smashed it open. A giant black shadow then darted out from underground and landed beside the black tree.

Ling Chen took Ling Yin and landed on a big tree, then looked towards the dust-filled area. There stood a completely black figure, violent and massive. The fierce, evil energy, like a storm, swept outward.

"It’s the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend!"

Upon seeing the giant black creature before her, Ling Yin’s pretty face changed slightly.

The enormous figure emanated a fetid aura, like an ancient corpse, yet with a far larger size, at least a hundred times bigger than a regular Corpse Evil. Its overall color was even deeper, and from afar, it looked like a giant. From its mouth full of fangs, stinky droplets constantly dripped, and in the scarlet eyes of the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend, cunning and ferociousness akin to humans surged, indicating considerable spiritual wisdom.

"Thousand-year Corpse Fiend, huh?"

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly tightened due to Ling Yin’s soft call. This Thousand-year Corpse Fiend is a creature born from piles of thousands of strong realm corpses, condensed with millions of resentments, extremely powerful. Moreover, the Corpse Fiend has been cultivating beneath the Soul Yu Ancient Tree for a thousand years, making its strength unfathomably deep.

"Brother Ling Chen, we must obtain this Soul Yu Ancient Tree."

Ling Yin looked at Ling Chen, her lips moved slightly, sending a faint sound into Ling Chen’s ears. Clearly, Ling Yin was also deeply interested in this Soul Yu Ancient Tree.

This thing is more useful to her than the Undying Fruit.

"Okay, act immediately before it draws other people’s attention!"

Ling Chen nodded. This Soul Ghostly Fruits also have a significant effect on him, and he couldn’t just pass this up. Though the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend guarding the Soul Yu Ancient Tree is powerful, it is not invincible.

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chen’s figure darted forward, slashing with his Thunder Sound Sword at an astonishing speed. Saint Sword Intent flowed out like a tide, attaching to the Thunder Sound Sword, swiftly extending the Sword Light to ten feet long in Ling Chen’s hands.

Ling Chen raised the Thunder Sound Sword and swung it down vertically!

Facing Ling Chen’s direct vertical slash, the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend abruptly extended its two black giant arms, forcibly catching the descending Thunder Sword Light. Intense "Chichi" sounds rang out, and sparks of sword qi burst on the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend’s body.

Roar!

In the instant it caught Ling Chen’s Sword Light, the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend suddenly let out a furious roar, and sinister corpse energy erupted from its body. Under its influence, nearby plants withered at a visibly rapid speed.

As corpse energy burst forth, Ling Chen had already retreated in advance to avoid its sharpness. Simultaneously, he clamped the sword fingers, continuously shooting sword qi from his fingertips, hitting the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend, leaving a series of sunken pits.

The Thousand-year Corpse Fiend’s body was exceptionally tough, and even with Ling Chen’s sword qi, enhanced by Saint Sword Intent, it couldn’t penetrate the body, only leaving pits, insignificant wounds on the huge frame.

Yet Ling Chen never intended to defeat the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend so easily. With a sharp turn, the sword speed doubled, a dense sword light enveloped the fiend’s massive body.

Meanwhile, amidst Ling Chen’s fierce battle with the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend, Ling Yin wasn’t idle either. Her golden vertical eye had opened from her forehead, releasing a profoundly mysterious aura from her third eye.

"Brother Ling Chen!"

As the golden vertical eye’s enigmatic aura amassed to the extreme, Ling Yin shouted towards Ling Chen. In the next second, a deep light beam shot from her vertical eye at an unimaginable speed!

The moment the beam was about to hit Ling Chen, his body slightly tilted to the right. The deep beam narrowly skimmed past Ling Chen, accurately striking the Thousand-year Corpse Fiend’s head!

Chirp!

Upon impact, faint "chirp" sounds continuously emitted, and the fiend’s blood-red eyes abruptly contracted, a trace of horror emerging as it found that with its frail spiritual power, it couldn’t resist the peculiar beam.

"Break!"

Ling Yin’s eyes glowed, her ice-cold voice softly emanating.

Bang!

As her voice fell, a huge hole appeared on the fiend’s forehead, and the gray light beam pierced through, finally lightning-fast, passing through from one side.

The gray beam shot out from the fiend’s backside, trailing a slimy green substance, then vanished afar.

Brain matter gushed down, yet despite the fatal blow, the fiend did not immediately die. Its ugly face turned extremely ferocious, staggering back several steps, its aura quickly waning.

The Thousand-year Corpse Fiend harbored strong corpse energy and terrifying physical defense far beyond typical human Saints, but its fatal flaw was the comparatively weaker soul, similar to a Top Sky Apex Strong. Such spiritual power couldn’t withstand Ling Yin’s Bewildering Heavenly Eye attack.

As the fiend’s aura deteriorated, Ling Chen’s Thunder Sound Sword suddenly darted out, like an electric flash diving into the void. Re-emerging, it appeared in front of the fiend, precisely striking the spot with the hole, piercing through unwaveringly.

Bang!

After the Sword Light passed through, the fiend’s giant body crashed down, causing a minor earthquake-like effect.
