Chapter 584: The Hunting Corpse

“Everyone has to play to their own advantage, and Senior Topmist is exceptional at hiding. In that case, he won’t be easily found by the Enlighter realm beasts. Thus, if Senior Viletree and Senior Wen are tied up while fighting a beast, they can simply pass the pyrolyte ore over to Senior Topmist. I’m sure that Senior Topmist will then be able to successfully complete the mission!” Wang Wen smiled. 

Topmist responded in a quiet voice, “I-”

However, he was instantly interrupted by Wen Qichen. “Alright, when are we moving out?”

Wang Wen seriously replied, “Tomorrow. I will be able to finish preparing the maps and equipment by that time. This is a dangerous mission, and your lives are on the line. I, Wang Wen, represent the entire human race in thanking all of you.” Wang Wen bowed to the team.

Topmist immediately backed away, quite annoyed with Wang Wen’s attitude. He wasn’t dead yet, so he didn’t want to accept the bow. 

Some people in Ironblood Weave were willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good while others were more selfish. This was especially true for newly arrived powerhouses like Elder Viletree and Wen Qichen. They wouldn’t be very willing to sacrifice themselves.

Despite that, due to the current circumstances, they were still forced to take on roles that only they were qualified for. Furthermore, there was the existence of the Hall of Honor, and so despite none of them being willing to participate in the mission, they were still forced to. 

They might have a chance of surviving if they went, but if they refused to participate in the mission, then they would definitely receive judgement. 

Although the Hall of Honor was very overbearing, it was still quite useful at times since their strict rules also came with various benefits as well. 

After two days, Wang Wen and Liu Qiuyu stood at the pass as they watched four spacecraft take off and head towards the Primal Zone. Their eyes were filled with both worry and hope.

“If this expedition turns out to be successful, then the Outerverse will be safe. If not, our defeat will be sped up. This is a huge risk,” Liu Qiuyu commented.

Wang Wen lazily stretched out. “No matter how big a risk it may be, we still have to commit to it. We don’t have any other alternatives, and at the current rate, the only question is when we’ll be defeated.”

Liu Qiuyu nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a portent of doom and looked up at the sky. 

At the same time, a weird silhouette appeared on the screens that were displaying what was happening in the space around Seasons Fort. They showed a dried corpse standing above Seasons Fort. 

“What the hell is that?” A Hunter powerhouse was stunned. He stepped into the sky to more closely observe the dried corpse that had moved within the sourceboxes’ invisible danger zones.

There were also enormous beasts roaming about outside Seasons Fort.

Apart from the people in Seasons Fort, some of the powerful beasts had also seen the desiccated corpse. They tried to attack it as they weren’t able to notice any differences between it and a living human.

After that, under countless astonished gazes, the dried corpse tore the beast apart, splashing its blood across the sky.

That had been a Hunter realm beast, and yet it had been killed so easily.

All the people at Seasons Fort were stunned.

Liu Qiuyu stared at the dried corpse. “Get back to the pass.”

“Don’t worry. That’s just a dried up corpse with no intelligence. It won’t be able to pass through the sourceboxes’ danger zones.”

As soon as Wang Wen finished speaking, the corpse rushed into the danger zone formed by the sourceboxes. Its body was enveloped by the formless danger, and countless wounds appeared on its body from time to time, especially on its forehead. A strand of an invisible attack nearly managed to pierce through its forehead, but the desiccated corpse still managed to forcefully barge through the invisible danger of the sourceboxes to appear within Seasons Fort.

At that moment, all of Seasons Fort fell silent as many people were shocked.

No beast had ever managed to successfully pass through a danger zone formed by the countless sourceboxes. Instead, the astral beasts always searched for the holes in the defenses when they launched their invasions. Even Monster Loach and the Enlighter realm Amethyst Beast were unable to directly pass through the formless danger zones, as only powerhouses whose power levels were higher than 400,000 might be able to do so. 

The dried corpse didn’t have that high of a power level, but it was still able to pass through the formless danger zone formed from the array of sourceboxes. This caused Liu Qiuyu to tremble as he felt a sense of impending sense doom.

Wang Wen hid into his coffin immediately and watched the dried corpse descend in a daze.

The next moment, countless firearms were fired at the dried corpse, but all of the attacks were completely futile. 

The dried corpse’s gaze swept across all of Seasons Fort before finally landing on Wang Wen. “Ancient bloodline detected. Target acquired: kill.” 

Liu Qiuyu appeared behind the dried corpse and attacked with his sword, bringing the full might of his Enlighter power to bear. 

The blade of the sword pierced through the dried corpse.

Then, the corpse grabbed the tip of the sword and shattered it before slashing out with the fragments at Liu Qiuyu.

Liu Qiuyu’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly dodged. After that, the dried corpse completely ignored him and continued on moving towards Wang Wen. 

Wang Wen was in terror. “Commander, HELP!”

Liu Qiuyu attacked the dried corpse once again, and his broken sword pierced the dried corpse like before. However, the dried corpse simply allowed Liu Qiuyu to attack repeatedly while it continued approaching Wang Wen.

Liu Qiuyu’s face went pale. He couldn’t find a method to injure the dried corpse, as nothing seemed to work no matter how he attacked. He suddenly noticed the piece of Progenitor Wushang’s hide that was still draped over the dried corpse’s head, and his actions froze for a moment. 

The dried corpse continued approaching Wang Wen before slamming a palm down.

A thunder shield suddenly appeared in front of Wang Wen. The palm of the dried corpse crashed against the thunder shield and caused a crack to appear in it. 

Aden was surprised. “Thunder Mountain Technique”

He roared as his battle force wrapped around his body before charging towards the desiccated corpse. 

Despite the violent attack, the dried corpse remained stationary, and it casually pushed Aden away before raising its hand yet again. 

Liu Qiuyu finally snapped out of his daze and protected Wang Wen with his sword as he simultaneously tried to cut off the dried corpse’s head. However, his attack only managed to leave a small trace of a mark on its neck, and his blade was also dulled. 

Liu Qiuyu couldn’t quite describe his feelings at the moment. He had never met an enemy like this corpse before. It was impossible for him to kill this thing, but it didn’t also even bother attacking him. Its defense was nearly impenetrable, but he had still been able to injure the thing slightly. Moreover, judging by its appearance, it had to be something from the Neohuman Alliance! 

With a bang, the dried corpse’s palm finally landed upon the coffin.

Liu Qiuyu glanced at Wang Wen who was in the coffin and saw him staring at the palm in a daze. However, the Limiteer was still perfectly fine.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The dried corpse slammed its palm down again with a bang, but once again, nothing happened.

Wang Wen sighed in relief; he had nearly died of fright.

Liu Qiuyu was still terrified, but when he thought about where the coffin had come from, he stopped attacking the dried corpse and just stood there, watching, as it attacked the coffin.

Aden soon returned along with a few Hunter powerhouses. They didn’t try to attack the dried corpse this time, and they all just stood there watching as it struck the coffin that remained in pristine condition. 

On the other hand, Wang Wen was worried that the coffin wouldn’t be able to withstand the furious onslaught. 

After twenty minutes, the dried corpse finally stopped its meaningless attacks and left Seasons Fort. It had given up.

Liu Qiuyu and the rest didn’t stop its departure and were relieved as they watched it leave.

Wang Wen emerged once he saw that the dried corpse was truly gone. He was sweating profusely and felt like he had narrowly escaped death. 

“What is that thing, and why was it trying to kill me? Is it something from the Astral Beast Domain?” Wang Wen screamed.

Liu Qiuyu’s expression was grim. “That was probably a corpse king from the Neohuman Alliance.”

“That’s impossible. The Outerverse has been almost extinguished, so why would the Neohuman Alliance still be around? Besides, they wouldn’t attack me at a time like this!” Wang Wen objected.

Liu Qiuyu frowned. He wasn’t certain of his guess, but he was especially concerned about that piece of skin on the dried corpse’s head that had momentarily dazed him. What was that?

“Oh no, it looks like it’s headed towards the Primal Zone!” Wang Wen shouted.

Liu Qiuyu looked at Wang Wen.

“This thing probably won’t attack Elder Viletree and the others, right?” Wang Wen mused.

Liu Qiuyu clenched his sword hilt tightly, and his expression became very concerned.

Lu Yin had assumed that they would be intercepted by Enlighter beasts on their way to the Primal Zone, but Wang Wen’s route allowed them to avoid running into any Enlighter realm beasts.

The youth’s intelligence was so high that normal people couldn’t even comprehend it. 

Their group had only been attacked by countless beasts once they crossed over into the Primal Zone. 

When they arrived at the beginning of the Primal Zone, Lu Yin had indicated the direction that they needed to travel in to the three Enlighter powerhouses. Then, he had quickly taken his leave.

Even if any beasts tried to chase after him, they wouldn’t be able to catch up to his blackhole-grade Aurora as only Enlighters could exceed his speed.

Wen Qichen and the others rushed forward and started killing the beasts at the entrance of the Primal Zone, but their actions just attracted many more beasts to the border.

Lu Yin turned around and looked at them with a sigh. “The success of this mission depends on all of you.”

He was just a Limiteer, and even with his multiple tricks, he still couldn’t compare to an Enlighter. He wouldn’t go out of his way to look for trouble, and with his ability to Possess other people with his die, he might be able to resolve this situation.

The blackhole-grade Aurora was extremely fast, and Lu Yin watched the planets shoot past him as he made his way back to the fort. It wouldn’t take long for him to get back.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned to face in another direction. He looked into the distance and saw a scary number of rune lines headed towards him.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. The amount of rune lines that he could see far surpassed all of the Enlighter realm powerhouses that he had met thus far, but this was a sensation that he had encountered before. 

The spacecraft halted its voyage through space and quickly hid among the asteroids. Lu Yin continued to stare in the direction of the rune lines that were getting closer and closer to him.

A while later, Lu Yin saw the desiccated corpse that still had a piece of Progenitor Wushang’s hide on its head. 

Lu Yin trembled at the sight.

“Why is that thing here?” the monkey yelped.

Lu Yin wanted to know as well, but he didn’t dare make any noise and tried to remain inconspicuous like an ant.

The dried corpse walked through the vacuum of outer space, and each step it took covered a vast distance. It soon arrived at the location where Lu Yin had just been. It paused there, as if it were hesitating. 

Lu Yin’s face went pale, and he thought of something scary; could that dried corpse possibly be looking for him? 

Suddenly, the dried corpse lifted its head, and its soulless eyes stared straight at Lu Yin, who was hidden among the asteroids. 

Lu Yin’s heart dropped, and he started maneuvering the spacecraft to fly back towards the Primal Zone. He couldn’t lead that dried corpse to Seasons Fort, as the stronghold was already on the brink of collapse from the astral beasts’ repeated attacks. The presence of the dried corpse would just worsen their situation. 

The dried corpse took a step forward and suddenly appeared within the asteroid field. It waved its hand and sliced all of the asteroids in half while also releasing a tremendous shockwave that reached all the way to Lu Yin’s spacecraft. 

The Aurora trembled and emitted a grating sound.

Lu Yin’s eyes kept twitching as he rushed towards the Primal Zone. There were many Enlighters in the Primal Zone, and they should be enough to handle the dried corpse. If the dried corpse managed to attract the attention of the Enlighter realm astral beasts, then Lu Yin’s party would actually have a greater chance of destroying the gap in the energy stream. 

The dried corpse took another step and appeared near the spacecraft this time. The spacecraft continued flying towards the Primal Zone at top speed as Lu Yin desperately tried to increase the distance between him and the corpse.

The dried corpse took yet another step. Every step it took was bringing it closer to Lu Yin.
