Chapter 1073: Refinement
Wood Lord was livid as he wiped the blood off his face. To have a swollen face because of a junior? Unacceptable.
A sword flew out of his body and released its intent, fully locking onto Feng Feiyun. Its slash immediately sent him flying, leaving him with b.l.o.o.d.y cuts everywhere.
The Trigram Seal couldn’t protect him due to the gap in cultivation.
“You overestimate yourself, daring to fight me.” Black smoke surrounded Wood Lord and turned into draconic serpents.
“Looks like I have to use the order then.” Feiyun became serious.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark due to billowing dark clouds. The atmosphere became chilling with a stench of blood.
The two combatants looked up and didn’t know whether this was a friend or an enemy.
Xuanyuan Yiyi who was watching from a distance became serious as well. The sword behind her let out hums, telling her that this person was dangerous.
It turned out to be the Evil Woman dressed in a loose robe. She descended from the dark clouds and looked like a devil king.
“Feng Feiyun, where have you been recently?”
Wood Lord became cautious and his sword rotated around him in a defensive manner. He could sense her frightening aura.
“Your Excellency, you’re here just in time, quick, capture the rebel for me!”
He put away the badge since using it each time would damage the sh.e.l.l on top of depleting its spirit stone reserve.
The Evil Woman glanced at Wood Lord and said: “He’s a prestigious territory lord, rather powerful too, why should I antagonize him?”
Wood Lord heard her and became arrogant. He laughed and said: “Now that’s smart, not daring to provoke me.”
“Did you hear that? He says you don’t dare to provoke him, that you’re smart. Your Excellency, you can’t possibly tolerate this contempt.” Feiyun said.
The Evil Woman naturally didn’t fall for Feiyun’s trick. However, she herself was annoyed at this arrogant territory lord. How could anyone be more arrogant than her?
Wood Lord stroked his beard and said: “I am a great lord who commands thousands of domain lords. The two of you better stand aside and stop wasting my time or face the consequence.”
“Enough out of you.” One of her hair lashed him like a whip, sending him flying for dozens of miles.
“b.i.t.c.h, you dare to hit me?!” He stabilized and became livid.
Normally, everyone would kneel down before him. Even Azure Lord gave him face; what had transpired today was unacceptable.
“He called you a ‘b.i.t.c.h’”. Feiyun said.
“Feng Feiyun, since you have helped me out several times, I will return the favor this time.” She took a deep breath and summoned the Immeasurable Tower.
The paG.o.da floated in her palm and exuded an ancient aura. The black clouds were sucked in, leaving an empty sky.
All living beings became frightened by its presence. It was as if a G.o.d has arrived.
“The legendary Immeasurable Tower of the daoists…” Xuanyuan Yiyi immediately ran three hundred miles back. Her sword formed a barrier automatically.
Feiyun retreated as well. This woman didn’t know how to hold back and could injure allies.
“A pseudo-saint artifact?!” Wood Lord became aghast and cursed his luck and mouth.
Of course, it was too late for regrets.
His sword was at the fifteenth rank. Each individual energy strand emanating from it turned into a physical sword.
“All as one!” Thousands of swords rotated around him. He commanded them to fly toward the Evil Woman.
The tower easily absorbed all the soaring swords.
“Return.” She pointed at him and all of the sword energies just now rushed back out.
Wood Lord slashed forward and obliterated the incoming current. His sword became gigantic as it tried to fight the tower.
The two treasures smashed one another, destroying the mountains and rivers nearby. Several hundred thousand miles of land transformed into a wasteland.
“Crack!” Eventually, the sword started cracking and fragments fell to the ground. The tip also broke down and tore the land apart.
This was the power of a saint artifact.
“Bam!” It eventually broke the entire sword and struck Wood Lord, breaking one of his ribs.
He became b.l.o.o.d.y and tattered as he shouted: “I am under the command of Azure Lord, how dare you injure me?!”
He channeled his power; his eyes flashed ferociously.
“I didn’t injure you.” The Evil Woman responded.
Wood Lord wanted to curse - take a look at me!
“The dead can’t be considered injured.” She concluded and released her corpse energy. The avatar of an evil corpse appeared behind her.
It towered at three thousand meters tall; its head was covered by clouds. Its miasma turned the land evil instantly.
The flesh on this avatar has rotted away. Its hair had pieces of meat on it. The ribs were visible and whenever its liquid touched the ground, a corrosive quagmire would form.
Only its teeth remained perfect as it roared at Wood Lord. The latter had seen plenty of shocking scenes before.
Alas, he was still frightened by this colossal abomination. Just the head alone was larger than a palace. He shuddered after being gazed at by this creature.
“The evil corpse? I thought she had killed it already to prove her dao.” Feiyun’s expression soured.
Xuanyuan Yiyi activated her dao heart and gasped: “She is cultivating the primordial dao from the Dao Ancestor Scripture. This looks wrong though… it is reversed.”
“Reversed?” Feiyun murmured.
Due to her own cultivation, Yiyi could see through everything in the world. This was superior to the Phoenix Heavenly Gaze in certain aspects.
The phoenix gaze could see through man, earth, and heaven. However, her dao heart could see the heart of others.
Eventually, Wood Lord was eaten alive by the evil corpse.
The Evil Woman placed her palms together and recalled the avatar back into her body. She opened her eyes and shot out two rays upward.
“She’s too strong, we should run now, her evil affinity might go out of control.” Feiyun felt a deterioration of her state.
Initially, she forced out the evil blood so the good corpse should have been in control. However, she must have refined the evil energy from her vessel, allowing the evil corpse to take control again. New evil blood must have been formed.
Once the evil corpse took over completely, she would revert back to how she was in the beginning - killing without caring for anything.
“Feiyun, where are you going now?” She blocked his path and stared at him with her amber eyes.
“Hehe, Your Excellency, you’re so fast.” He stopped and put on a smile.
She glanced at Yiyi and then back at him: “I saw the fruit earlier, hand it over. It is fated to be with me.”
“Haha, what fruit are you talking about? You must have misunderstood…” Feiyun tried to play it cool but suddenly, an ice-cold hand gripped his throat.
A layer of ice formed around him; even his blood started freezing.
