The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1289: Chapter 383: The Secret Deep Within the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area

One of them suddenly opened its bloodthirsty maw, and, like last time, swallowed its companion whole.

Its body expanded instantly, tumors squirmed under its shriveled skin, and its aura soared abruptly to the Spirit Severing Realm.

But that was not the end—this newly born Spirit Severing Realm corpse crow then pounced on the last companion.

Along with the chilling sound of chewing, its body size swelled again, its corpse wax shell cracked inch by inch, revealing the writhing flesh underneath.

When the last feather was devoured, its momentum had already reached mid-stage Spirit Severing!

"Just perfect to practice with." Zhou Qing’s eyes burned with battle intent, "Just broke through to Spirit Severing, and I was worrying about finding a suitable sparring partner."

"Sizzle—"

Ten thousand feet of Thunder Light burst from his pores, transforming into countless Purple Gold Thunder Serpents that coiled and slithered.

Immediately, a total of ten thousand Array Spirit Seals roared out, not forming an array, but directly merging into the wild thunder.

Each spirit seal became the core of a thunderstorm, compressing the Power of Destruction to the extreme.

Space trembled, the Blood River boiled, even the gray mist above the forbidden area tore with cracks.

"Thunder Seal Unity!"

With a low shout, ten thousand spirit seals perfectly fused with the thunder, finally collapsing into a purple-gold thunder spear as thick as an arm.

Zhou Qing’s fingers clenched around it, transforming into a flash of purple-gold lightning, piercing directly towards the Corpse Wax Crow!

The Corpse Wax Crow raised its head with a hoarse shriek, wings spread, and its decaying waxy wings suddenly ignited with ghostly green flames.

In the flames appeared countless faces of vengeful souls, howling as they charged at Zhou Qing!

"Boom—!!!"

A visible shockwave swept out, and the stone walls of the entire forbidden area suddenly shattered.

Zhou Qing’s tiger’s mouth split, the thunder spear trembled, while the crow’s right wing was torn open with a charred crack, wax liquid dripped, corroding the ground.

"Such a formidable body!" Zhou Qing’s gaze sharpened, his figure recoiled, and his left hand rapidly formed seals.

"Crack!"

Purple-gold lightning exploded from the void, transforming into chains, winding towards the Corpse Wax Crow.

The crow screeched, Nether Fire surged, actually scorching the thunder chains with a sizzling sound.

But just as it broke free from its restraints, Zhou Qing dashed forward, and the thunder spear like a dragon thrust straight into its left eye!

"Poof!"

The spearhead penetrated the eye socket, the ghostly green fire exploding!

The Corpse Wax Crow roared in pain, its left claw taking the chance to tear at Zhou Qing’s chest.

Zhou Qing did not dodge, enduring the claw directly—

"Rip!"

Flesh rolled, white bone visible.

But as strands of golden light and Buddhist chants sounded, the fractured rib instantly restored.

At this moment, Zhou Qing’s mouth curled up into a cold smile: "Got you."

His right hand’s thunder spear suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless hair-thin lightning lines, burrowing into the crow’s skull through the eye socket!

"Explode!"

"Bang—!"

The crow’s head blew apart on one side, wax liquid and Nether Fire gushed out like a fountain.

Yet it still didn’t fall, its remaining right eye fixated on Zhou Qing, pupils dancing with mad ghostly green flames.

Suddenly, its twisted neck stretched abruptly, beak wide open, a black pearl shot out of its throat!

As the pearl appeared, the entire forbidden area’s temperature plummeted.

Zhou Qing’s hairs stood on end, instinctively sensing a deadly threat.

The pearl’s surface flowed with eerie patterns, seemingly sealing some ancient curse, causing the space it passed through to creak under unbearable pressure.

"Is this... the origin of corpse evil?! Zhou Qing’s heart shook immensely.

He had once seen records in ancient texts, that some Corpse Dao cultivators who reached the peak could condense their lifetime of corpse evil into a pearl, and once it erupted, it could corrode the vitality of a ten-thousand-mile radius.

The pearl was extremely fast, reaching his chest in the blink of an eye.

In the rush, Zhou Qing only managed to block with the thunder spear, while his figure retreated rapidly.

"Boom!"

The black pearl collided with the thunder spear, exploding into a piercing corrosive sound.

The purple-gold thunder light was visibly tainted black at a rapid pace, the spear’s thunder patterns crumbling inch by inch.

What was more terrifying, the corrupted thunder actually started spreading back towards Zhou Qing’s arm!

"Not good!" Zhou Qing immediately decided, his left hand slicing like a blade, swiftly severing the connection between his right arm and the thunder spear.

The severed right arm hadn’t even fallen to the ground before turning into a skeleton amidst the black aura.

The Corpse Wax Crow let out a triumphant screech, its fragmented skull raised high.

But its triumph didn’t last long—Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed with cold light, his left hand grasped the void, a brand new thunder spear instantly formed.

"You think... cutting off my arm means victory?" Zhou Qing sneered, his body suddenly erupted with dazzling thunder light.

The thunder light moved like living creatures, actually forming a thunder arm at the severed limb!

And this newly formed arm was even more solid than before, its surface pulsing with dense thunder patterns.

Then, Zhou Qing gripped the spear with both hands, transforming into a flash of thunder, soaring into the sky.

"This spear shall send you to rebirth!"

The thunder spear like a dragon carried dazzling purple-gold light, piercing through the crow’s shattered skull, tearing through, ultimately piercing out from its tail!

"Boom—"

Wax flakes flew all around, the Corpse Wax Crow’s body completely ruptured.

The ghostly green Nether Fire attempted to struggle and coalesce, but was thoroughly extinguished by the thunder spear’s attached purification power.

Zhou Qing landed slowly, the light on the new thunder arm gradually restrained.

Staring at the dispersing ashes, Zhou Qing let out a long breath, his mouth curling into a relieved smile.

Although it was just a duel under simulation, the true Corpse Wax Crow still guarded deep within the forbidden area.

But after having its head blown off so many times, finally annihilating it once brought some release of frustration.

Can you believe, during the Spirit Severing process, they appeared to obstruct the way, if not for Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown protecting heart and spirit, he might have nearly had his Dao Heart collapse under their assault.
