Chapter 1508
by Moonlit_Scholar_C Almost at the moment when the voice fell, Zhang Yu’s body suddenly turned into coke, and then with a “click” sound, it shattered into pieces on the ground.
Looking at the pile of coke on the ground, after a moment of silence, everyone on the field bowed deeply in unison.
Even the Green Pupil Evil Monarch was no exception.
After bowing.
The Pearl Tower Lord silently put away the pile of coke on the ground.
The Cloud Crane True Monarch then began to set up the formation to enter the Barrier together with the First Elder of the Tower.
“Hey！”
The Green Pupil Evil Monarch, who was doing nothing aside, suddenly slapped Xu Taiping’s shoulder hard and said：
“Kid, I have a favor to ask of you.”
Xu Taiping, who almost had his shoulder broken by the slap, frowned and looked at the Green Pupil Evil Monarch and said：
“What is it？”
The Green Pupil Evil Monarch looked at the huge body of the monster in the Barrier in the distance and said expressionlessly：
“After I die, please burn my body to ashes and sprinkle it in the place where my junior sister Song Yu died in battle.”
Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this.
He, who originally didn’t care about the life and death of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch at all, after hearing the words of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch, his mood actually fluctuated a little.
“Pa！”
Xu Taiping slapped away the Green Pupil Evil Monarch’s palm.
I saw that he first forcefully slapped the armor pellet of the Great Saint Armor on his chest and put it on, and then turned his head to look at the Green Pupil Evil Monarch and said, “Senior, you should go by yourself and explain to Fairy Songyu why you refused to board the ship even if you died back then.”
Upon hearing this, the face of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch, which was originally full of domineering expressions, instantly became extremely old.
The Green Pupil Evil Monarch turned his head to look at Xu Taiping and asked with somewhat empty eyes：
”Do you want to know？”
Before Xu Taiping could answer, I saw that the Green Pupil Evil Monarch once again looked at the monsters in the distance and then said to himself： “When the time comes, I will tell you, and please also take my answer to my junior sister.”
Xu Taiping originally didn’t want to agree.
But after seeing the extremely rare fragile eyes of the Green Pupil Evil Monarch at this moment, he finally nodded and said：
”If it really comes to that, I will.”
Just as the two were talking, the voice of True Monarch Yunhe suddenly came from not far away——
”Little friend Wuyou, Senior Li, you can come over.”
The two of them immediately flashed and appeared in front of True Monarch Yunhe at the same time.
True Monarch Yunhe nodded slightly to the two of them and then explained to them：
”This barrier doesn’t look big from the outside, but in fact, the area inside is extremely large.”
“The outermost barrier is the largest among the three barriers. One must enter through the teleportation array to avoid getting lost or surrounded by demons.”
As Xu Taiping walked into the teleportation array set up by Yunhe Zhenjun, he asked curiously：
“Senior Yunhe, what kind of demons are there in the third barrier？”
Before Yunhe Zhenjun could answer, Elder Lou beside him suddenly spoke up and introduced to Xu Taiping：
“The demons in the third barrier are mainly some skeleton demon soldiers transformed from the bones of human cultivators. Ordinary blood skeleton demon soldiers have extremely weak combat power. You just need to pay attention to the golden skeleton demon soldiers and the mysterious crystal skeleton demon soldiers.”
“The mysterious crystal skeleton demon soldiers have combat power no weaker than that of the possessed Zhao Mou and can also Cast the power of the magic seed.”
“However, their number is not large. Currently, the number of mysterious crystal-level skeleton demon soldiers known to us is only three.”
Xu Taiping asked curiously：
“What about the ordinary skeleton demon soldiers？”
Elder Lou smiled bitterly and said：
“The total number is more than 30,000.”
This number not only made Xu Taiping’s back feel cold, but also the Qingtong Xiejun beside him.”
Yunhe Zhenjun then explained to the two：
“When the demons first descended on the Shangqing Realm, a human army guarding the border between Jueming Heaven and the Dragon Clan discovered this demon first.
“These Skeleton Demon Soldiers were precisely transformed from the corpses of those who died here.”
At this time, the master of Yizhu Tower added with a face full of reverence：
“Judging from some battlefield relics we discovered later, this human army fought against that monster in this secret realm for at least ten years, holding on until the first batch of demon-slaying cultivators entered the secret realm.”
“The battle situation was extremely tragic.”
At this time, the great elder Lou also said：
“Among this group of human soldiers, there were almost no cultivators, all were warriors. To be able to hold on for so long is truly admirable.”
True Monarch Yunhe nodded and said：
“I once saw in the relics that the bodies of several soldiers whose bones had not been eroded by the power of the Demon Seed were stuffed with tree roots and wild grass. It’s hard to imagine that they fought against the monster for so many years while eating those things.”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent in unison.
Just then, Accompanied by a burst of “rumbling” air explosion sounds, the teleportation array beneath everyone’s feet suddenly lit up.
True Monarch Yunhe quickly reminded Xu Taiping and Qingtong Evil Monarch：
“You two, this teleportation array will teleport us to a place called Maowu Village within the third barrier.”
“After arriving, we must immediately leave the village and head to Luoyun Slope in the west. That is where the eye of the third barrier array is located, and it is also the entrance to the second barrier.”
“After arriving there, as long as we confirm that the eye of the formation is intact, we will immediately go to the second barrier and meet with Senior Qu Shuang and Zhuo Buming who are there.”
“Then go together to the place where the first barrier is located and repair the barrier.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded and said：
“I will follow Senior Yunhe’s arrangement.”
The Green Pupil Evil Monarch, on the other hand, folded his arms across his chest and said with a nonchalant look on his face：
“After you go in, it’s best to contact those two. If it really doesn’t work, I can go to the second barrier first.”
“Don’t let it happen that when we arrive, those two have already died at the hands of the demons.”
When the owner of the Yizhu Building heard this, a look of being bored immediately appeared on his face.
Seeing this, True Lord Yunhe gently patted his shoulder, indicating that he should not argue with the Green Pupil Evil Monarch, and then said：
“Let’s see after arriving.”
While speaking, only a “boom” was heard, and then Xu Taiping’s eyes went dark.
When his vision lit up again, the surrounding environment had changed from a bamboo forest to a deserted small village.
And the position where they were standing was the open space at the entrance of the village.
A big banyan tree, like a huge embrace, covered them several people under it.
Just as Xu Taiping was wondering why the third barrier was like this, his gaze was suddenly by the large swathes of wild grass on the hillside in front.
After activating his vision and carefully examining the wild grass, Xu Taiping suddenly said in astonishment：
”Jade Bone Grass？”
”Why is there Jade Bone Grass here？”
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Crane True Monarch beside him explained matter-of-factly：
”That is indeed Jade Bone Grass. Among the first batch of demon-slaying cultivators who entered the secret realm, there happened to be a cultivator who knew the magic of refining Jade Bone Grass. He wanted to learn from the Flame Emperor and put the remaining souls of those soldiers in the secret realm into the Jade Bone Grass.”
”In this way, the Jade Bone Grass can restrain some of the demons, and at the same time, give these remaining souls a place to rest.”
Having said this, the Cloud Crane True Monarch sighed and then continued：
”However, the minds of these remaining souls have been completely corroded by the demons. Even if the Jade Bone Grass grows in this secret realm, they will still be indifferent to the demons.”
The Lord of Yizhu Building then asked the Cloud Crane True Monarch curiously：
”I once heard that the senior who planted the Jade Bone Grass left a letter for us, saying that if we can find the general who holds the Western Heavenly Rank Iron Armor Order, we can restore the minds of these remaining souls and truly integrate them into the Jade Bone Grass.”
The Cloud Crane True Monarch smiled bitterly and said：
”But the general who can hold the Western Heavenly Rank Iron Armor Order is even harder to find than the sword cultivator who can control the Broken Army！”
The Lord of Yizhu Building smiled helplessly and said：
”That’s true.”
Xu Taiping, who was beside them, remained silent upon hearing this.
“Let’s go, we…”
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…”
Just as True Lord Yunhe was about to lead everyone to Luoyun Slope, a burst of harsh horse hooves suddenly sounded, interrupting him.
Everyone looked in the direction of the horse hooves and saw a golden skeleton demon soldier leading more than a hundred skeleton blood soldiers charging down the hillside full of jade bone grass.
Seeing this, True Lord Yunhe’s expression changed immediately and he said：
“These are the patrolling soldiers of the Skeleton Demon General. If they find us, they will surely attract the Skeleton Demon General. Hide quickly！”
