Chapter 1140: Vengeful Spirits of the Death Nest (Two)

The presence of grudges filled the Death Nest . Black mist surged as cold wind blew, making the vegetation there sway with the wind . The wind sounded like the wails of ghosts .

The Death Nest was split into three zones . The first zone was enough to threaten Saint Rulers, and the vengeful spirits that appeared there were mostly at the level of Saint Rulers . Saint King vengeful spirits would appear there rarely as well . It would spell almost certain doom for any Heaven Saint Masters that entered the area since even Saint Rulers had the chance of dying . The second zone was where Saint King vengeful spirits gathered with a very small chance for Saint Emperor vengeful spirits to appear . Only Saint Kings could move freely there .

The third zone was the most terrifying place of the Death Nest, as it was where Saint Emperor corpses were buried . It was the lair of Saint Emperor vengeful spirits and was extremely terrifying . Even Saint Kings at Great Perfection needed to be very careful in that zone .

The Saint Emperor vengeful spirits were born from the grudges of the dead . They had lost their abilities from when they were still alive long ago, but they were still quite difficult to deal with . They were extremely powerful .

Jian Chen, Tie Ta, and Hei Yu moved through the Death Nest, proceeding to the depths . They encountered attacks from many ghost faces, and the iciness that had invaded their bodies earlier appeared very often as well . However, it could not stop their advance .

After traveling several dozen kilometers, a blurry figure condensed from black mist appeared several hundred meters away from them .

It sat on the ground, inhaling and exhaling the presence of the grudges into the surroundings . It absorbed the essence from the ground to cultivate . All of this essence originated from the ground that had been dyed by the blood of countless Saint Emperors .

The three of them stopped and stared at the vengeful spirit a few hundred meters away . After a period of close observation, Tie Ta said, “That vengeful spirit’s already at Saint King . I never thought we’d come across such a powerful vengeful spirit so quickly in the first zone . If other Saint Rulers came across this vengeful spirit, it would be very difficult for them to survive . ”

“It seems to be cultivating . That’s unbelievable . These vengeful spirits condensed from the grudges of the dead can actually cultivate . Do they already possess a conscience?” Jian Chen sighed in amazement . He found it rather unbelievable .

Afterward, Jian Chen used the Illusory Flash and shot toward the Saint King vengeful spirit several hundred meters away . At the same time, the vengeful spirit discovered Jian Chen and suddenly stood up . It was entirely condensed from black mist and the endless grudges of the dead, so it was rather ethereal and not really tangible .

The appearance of the vengeful spirit was blurry . It seemed like a person, but it lacked facial features . It turned its head to look in Jian Chen’s direction before floating toward him in the form of a black mist . It moved extremely quick .

Although the vengeful spirit possessed the strength of Saint Kings, it was nowhere near as powerful as an actual Saint King . Jian Chen began fighting the vengeful spirit while studying it at the same time .

A while later, Jian Chen finally confirmed that the vengeful spirit lacked self-awareness . Cultivation was instinctual to it, so Jian Chen breathed out in relief . If the vengeful spirits possessed were self-aware, they would be far too terrifying . After all, there were many Saint Emperor vengeful spirits in the third zone .

Jian Chen chopped through the vengeful spirit with a single stroke of the Emperor Armament, reducing it to black mist . However, it recondensed the next moment and continued to fight Jian Chen . The suffocating iciness and the endless amount of grudges formed a very terrifying attack . The iciness invaded Jian Chen body in attempt to devour his vitality while the grudges charged at Jian Chen’s soul . However, Jian Chen remained unaffected by both .

The vengeful spirits were extremely difficult to kill . They were condensed from an endless amount of grudges and were not living like humans, nor did they possess the weakness of a soul . Without any exaggeration, they could be described as invincible . The only method to deal with them was to constantly attack them to exhaust their energy . Once their energy was completely consumed, they would be reduced to nothing more than a part of the black mist .

With an emotionless glare, Jian Chen attacked the vengeful spirit time and time again with his Emperor Armament . Only after killing it more than ten times did all of its power disappear, turning back into a surging black mist .

“Jian Chen, the power you use is nothing ordinary . If you use you power against these vengeful spirits, it will quicken their deaths . It would be very difficult for other Saint Kings to use less time to deal with one if they came across a vengeful spirit,” Hei Yu said . He stood with arms crossed next to Tie Ta .

Jian Chen seemed to be in thought . He then put the Emperor Armament away . He continued on his way with Hei Yu and Tie Ta .

There were extremely few Saint King vengeful spirits in the first zone of the Death Nest . Most of them were at the level of Saint Rulers, so they did not come across any more Saint King vengeful spirits during the following journey . After traveling several thousand kilometers, they finally passed through the first zone of the Death Nest and reached the second .

The iciness and presence of grudges that pervaded the second zone were ten times greater than the first . The iciness ate away at the body while the grudges invaded the soul . It forced the three of them to circulate their energy to resist them . Jian Chen had already fused a small part of Chaotic Force into his body, relying on the terrifying defense of the Chaotic Body .

A faint layer of golden light appeared around Tie Ta . It isolated him from the iciness and grudges of the dead . Even Hei Yu began to use his own power to resist the two .

The three of them became rather surprised when they had first arrived in the second zone . Just the Yin Qi and grudges were enough for Saint Kings to treat them seriously . They sighed emotionally at the terror of the Death Nest again .

A few bones and shrapnel of weapons began appearing in the second zone . The bones were littered with the marks of time, clearly having existed for countless years already . The pieces of weapons had been created from extremely valuable materials, but they had already been contaminated by the Yin Qi and the grudges, so they now bore a malicious nature . They could not be used .

“These are bones of a member of the Dragon clan,” Hei Yu suddenly said as he stared at a bone the size of a human . His voice was filled with shock .

Jian Chen and Tie Ta glanced over when they heard that . The unknown piece of bone was dark-red in color, as if it had been dyed by blood .

“The Dragon clan disappeared in ancient times . It’s already been a million years since, so this bone was clearly left behind before the Dragon clan had vanished . It’s been so long already, so it should have turned to dust long ago . How can it still exist and be in such a perfect condition?” Hei Yu gruffly said as disbelief flooded his face .

“The bone is filled with Yin Qi and grudges . Is it these two energies that prevent the bone from decaying, which is why its still perfect after at least a million years?” Jian Chen guessed .

Hei Yu thought attentively and said, “That should be the case . Doesn’t that mean there are many bones left behind from the ancient times in the Death Nest then?”

The three of them continued on their way . They discovered many bones and more pieces of weapons as they traveled . There was no lack of bones from the Dragon and Phoenix clans, which were recognized at a glance by Hei Yu . They had even found a Space Ring buried in the soil that had not been completely destroyed . Items could still be removed from within . However, nothing in it caught Jian Chen’s eye .
