Spirit Vessel Chapter 984: Demons

Chapter 984: Demons

Feng Feiyun slowly approached the barrier and felt the laws of heaven and earth. He carefully touched it and felt a lightning bolt coursing through the tip of his finger. The white barrier became visible again and activated its power.
“Boom!” He hurriedly pulled back but his finger still felt numb.
“This is a large-scale barrier erected by a powerful Heaven’s Emergence cultivator. They want to stop anyone from coming to the center.” He said.
“Not just one, this is the work of many. Looks like a group is working together and wanting to share the treasures, hmph, buncha thieves.” The turtle said.
“Isn’t that what we’re here for too?” Feng Qingqing laughed.
“Not the same, we want the dragon corpse for the sake of research. Fine, I’ll let you in, I’ve recently been researching a mystery from time immemorial and need dragon blood. With this blood, I can recreate the memories of those dragons.” The turtle acted cool.
“Please.” She didn’t buy it.
“Trust me! The four great demon races are ancient. If we want to research the past, we have to start with them. That’s why we have to get this corpse at all costs. If my research is successful, it’ll change the corpse of history. My name will go down in the annals! Tremble before me, lowly half-demon and human!”
Feiyun didn’t want to hear any longer and interrupted: “Oh great researcher, can you tell us how to get past this barrier first?”
“As if this barrier can stop me.” The turtle had an arrogant glint in its eyes: “I have a secret technique capable of breaking all barriers under the heaven.”
Feiyun’s weapon essence had a similar ability but this barrier was simply too powerful. He himself knew various techniques but his cultivation was the limiting factor.
The turtle stood up straight; its legs were long like a duck. It posed before the barrier before unleashing its secret move - biting it!
“Boom!” Numerous lightning bolts sent the turtle flying. It became charred while spewing out black smoke and flames.
It lay on the ground with lightning still coursing through it.
“This is your secret technique?” Feiyun asked.
The turtle got up and said: “Well, it can’t work all the time, this is just a mistake. Those motherfuckers are pretty strong and even added an offensive formation to the barrier, they got me good.”
“My turn.” Feiyun used his phoenix domain and gathered all the flames into a fist-sized area. This resulted in a crimson jewel.
The jewel began to refine the barrier. After an hour, a hole could be seen.
Feiyun was happy and added even more strength. Eventually, the hole was large enough for one person to get through.
“I’ll go first!” The turtle desired that dragon corpse more than anything and rushed inside.
Feng Qingqing followed along and Feiyun was last.
The scene ahead became dark and cold - a broken city with gray walls. Some parts were still floating while others have been destroyed. Only a pitiful scene was left of the once-magnificent city. The destruction spanned as far as the eye can see.
“There are still meteor stones in that wall!” The turtle took a hammer out of nowhere and propped it on its shoulder. It wanted to take out the stones.
Feiyun stopped it and took away the hammer: “Stop, an expert had done something to this place. Don’t touch anything or bad things might come out.”
As they moved forward, there were shiny bones of masters left behind. They were still around after eighty thousand years.
“The pressure in here is incredible, it’s hard for me to move. Looks like someone had left countless meteoric stones here.” The turtle felt as if there were several mountains pushing down on it.
This pressure increased gradually as they got closer to the center. This was still only the outskirt. The pressure at the center must be insane.
“Looks like there are secrets here that couldn’t be fully buried. That’s why they want zero entry.” Feiyun thought. His blood was boiling even more.
His eyes turned red and evil runes appeared on his arm. He used Buddhist energy to subdue them. Alas, scales appeared now a well; even his veins started bulging out.
“Bro!” Feng Qingqing noticed this and came closer.
“Stay away from him, his demonic blood is out of control.” The turtle noticed it as well.
“Qingqing, go back to the kingdom.” Feiyun suppressed his blood again and ordered.
“I’m, I’m not going bac!” She pouted and stubbornly fled.
Feiyun was faster and caught her, forcefully pushing her back into the passage.
His demonic blood made him awfully lusful. He was afraid of losing control and doing something to Feng Qingqing.
“Don’t tell me you have dragon blood?” The turtle became interested and thought about getting a tube of his blood for research.
The agitated Feiyun glared at the turtle with his crimson-blood eyes.
“Ahem, I’m not interested in your blood. Wait, demonic energy again.” The turtle suddenly slowed down.
“Clank!” A steel pincer slammed downward and crushed the area beneath the turtle.
“What the hell?!” The turtle dodged and leaped on Feiyun’s shoulder then went into hiding inside his robe, only peeking out to take a look.
“Bam!” An ant larger than an elephant slammed into the wall. Its husk resembled metal. It had six large legs with sharp claws.
“Don’t interfere with demons’ business.” It spoke a human language in a cold and murderous manner.
Feiyun gathered the power of beasts and sent it flying, severing two of its legs.
The ant let out a cry and turned into a humanoid form, completely covered in black armor. It also had six arms.
It spewed out a talisman that fly towards the horizon.
“There are many powerful demons here. They will come to stop you.” The ant coldly uttered.
Feiyun teleported to the front of the ant and crushed its head first then the rest of its body. Blood splashed everywhere.
“Impudent human, how dare you to infiltrate this place? You have terrible luck.”
“Just kill him, no need for small talk.”
Two gray-robed old men appeared. They were shrouded in nefarious auras and threw demonic bones at Feiyun. Their group had sealed this area to stop humans from entering.
“Boom!” Feiyun’s runic hands unleashed two waves of beast souls in retaliation.
The souls and the bones fought and let out terrible waves.
The two men decided to go all out against Feiyun next.
“Break!” Feiyun sent out all of his beast souls. There was a limited range, only ten meters, because of the meteoric stones.
“Boom! Boom!” Nonetheless, he still reduced the two old men into bloody mists.
Their bone weapons fell to the ground and created two deep pits.
