Chapter 47: Corrupted Scale Serpent
For Lian Yun, with a single move of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, the myriad Soul Swords formed a Greatsword that stretched for kilometers. Thus, the combat style of the Insect Emperor was clearly unsuitable for him.
Therefore, Lian Yun requested a calm and tranquil sea area in the note he sent to Zhang Yifang. This was his primary condition; ideally, it would be a place with the weakest defenses and the highest corrosion ability of Filth.
However, while the ideal was perfect, reality was harsh.
Zhang Yilian informed Lian Yun that such places were in high demand even among Half Emperors, let alone other Peerless Monarchs.
Just from this, Lian Yun thought that if such a place existed, even if the rewards were lower, the Insect Emperor might not engage in battle in the Filth Bug territory.
Nonetheless, Zhang Yilian provided Lian Yun with coordinates for a tranquil location but also solemnly warned him about it.
The areas suitable for Peerless Monarchs to fight had mostly been occupied. Even if there were still some left, they were likely unknown to others. The remaining calm areas were generally guarded by powerful Corrupted Mothers.
The Corrupted Mother was something even Half Emperors found difficult to kill. Although they typically did not participate in battles, one could not guarantee that they wouldn’t suddenly go on a rampage; it was best for anyone below Half Emperor not to provoke them.
However, perhaps knowing that Lian Yun had specific needs, Zhang Yilian still provided him with a coordinate where the Filth covered an area of about four hundred miles. The Corrupted Mother there was likely an entity that even Half Emperors feared. However, if one fought at the edges, given the power of a Peerless Monarch, it should not attract the attention of the Corrupted Mother.
Still, Zhang Yilian reminded Lian Yun that if he truly intended to go there, he should keep his battles brief and avoid exceeding an entire day. Furthermore, although the Corrupted Scale Serpent's defenses were relatively weak, its attack power was extremely strong; without sufficient strength, one should not provoke too many at once.
Not being able to provoke too many meant that killing efficiency would be hard to improve. This was why Lian Yun was so eager to enhance his strength and aimed to reach the Emperor Realm as soon as possible.
There were two more coordinates: one had weak defenses and numerous Filth creatures, but the sea there was even worse than in the Filth Bug territory. The other had low corrosive power in its Filth fluids and was easy to kill but was sparsely distributed, making it difficult to achieve mass kills simultaneously.
In Lian Yun's view, Zhang Yilian's coordinates likely indicated places where no one had established teleportation portals. Thus, the latter two coordinates were essentially unwanted locations.
The first coordinate was more secretive; Zhang Yilian might have originally intended to sell it for a high price. Now, however, he only asked for two hundred million Imperial Coins from Lian Yun, which was quite generous.
It should be noted that if Lian Yun were to explore these places alone and even find them, verifying their safety would take an unknown amount of time.
Moreover, Zhang Yilian’s transactions were generally above Peerless Monarch level; after selling this coordinate, he typically wouldn’t sell it to anyone else.
Unless someone had nothing better to do than wander through the entire filthy realm for fun, generally speaking, no one would venture into those areas—making them relatively safe.
Lian Yun was determined to reach the first coordinate, planning to break through to the Emperor Realm within six months.
However, since that location was not suitable for prolonged battles, Lian Yun needed an additional coordinate. Thus, Lian Yun left a note for Zhang Yilian, asking for another coordinate related to the so-called Corrupted Mother.
As long as things stabilized, Lian Yun could engage in a three-point maneuver, avoiding contact with the so-called Corrupted Mother as much as possible.
It was important to note that the Corrupted Mother was a being that even Half Emperors found difficult to kill. Now was not the time for Lian Yun to provoke such a creature; perhaps not even until reaching the level of Peerless Monarch.
After absorbing Supreme Soul Coins for a day, Lian Yun set off for the first coordinate provided by Zhang Yilian. Flying over eight thousand miles, Lian Yun navigated through several large bays based on Zhang Yilian's hints, likely avoiding several battle zones before finally reaching the destination.
The so-called Corrupted Scale Serpent appeared to Lian Yun like a dragon. Its body was covered in scales, with a round head lacking eyes but possessing three dark circular mouths.
Looking out over the sea, countless long serpents were entangled, writhing and rolling together, creating an eerie scene that resembled a massive breeding ground.
However, the surface of the sea remained calm despite the rolling of the Corrupted Scale Serpents; it did not show any signs of rising or falling.
Lian Yun chose not to dwell on this point. After all, this space of the Corrupted Realm was already larger than Yin Yang City, yet there were no signs of it outside Yin Yang City. Therefore, Lian Yun attributed this phenomenon to the effects of a formation.
What concerned Lian Yun more was the efficiency of killing.
Activating the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, he swept his sword across a kilometer.
Although it was difficult to discern their numbers due to the entangled Corrupted Scale Serpents, after one strike, Lian Yun sensed that his killing efficiency had reached about sixty percent.
However, in the blink of an eye, the surface of the sea returned to its original state. The Corrupted Scale Serpents did not even retaliate.
This left Lian Yun somewhat puzzled.
In such circumstances, it felt as if there were only rewards without danger; thus, the information value of this place might far exceed two hundred million. However, if there were any significant threats, Zhang Yilian would likely provide warnings. The absence of such warnings suggested that while there was a threat from the Corrupted Mother, careful attention during combat should allow avoidance.
So why weren’t the Corrupted Scale Serpents attacking?
After pondering this question, Lian Yun continued to use the Ten Thousand Sword Technique while gradually moving inward.
Once Lian Yun entered a kilometer into the territory of the Corrupted Scale Serpents, all around him and below, they surged upward like dragons. Then they charged toward him from all directions as if they were burrowing from below.
The three circular mouths on their heads opened wide, transforming their foreheads into something resembling a sieve with three large holes while unleashing an immense sucking force.
Suddenly, Lian Yun felt as if his body was about to explode.
However, Lian Yun reacted quickly; with a slight tremor, he resisted the countless forces trying to drain him. At the same time, he executed the Ten Thousand Sword Technique in a sweeping arc before retreating.
In truth, Lian Yun was somewhat satisfied with this situation. As long as he was within a kilometer, his combat power and the effectiveness of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique could reach their maximum potential, allowing him to kill far more than the Insect Emperor.
However, the attacks surging up from beneath the sea were more troublesome. Although Lian Yun had the ability to cope with them now, it was only because he was deep in the water. If he entered within a kilometer, there might form a sphere composed of Corrupted Scale Serpents just outside that kilometer.
If the battlefield became too expansive, it would be difficult to manage.
Thus, he still needed to engage the Insect Emperor on solid ground.
Yet establishing and controlling a one-kilometer arena was far more challenging than managing an area within a radius of one hundred meters.
After pondering for a moment, Lian Yun took a detour and arrived at the rear of the Corrupted Scale Serpent territory, where he established a spatial portal before heading to where the Filth Bug was located.
