Chapter 938 Phantom Winged Spirit Moth

“Yes.”

The Thousand Illusions Sect disciples who were guarding the vicinity of the boundary river dared not treat the group of experts with disrespect. Their expressions subtly changed as they realize that they were terrifyingly strong. 

“Two hours ago, this girl entered the boundary river with a group of explorers.”

The old man with white hair and a rosy face asked coldly, “Do you know who those explorers are?”

Buzz!

A man frantically took out the Illusion Breaking Mirror. Rune lights flickered endlessly as he looked through the mirror. After a while, he finally found the scene of Lin Xun and the others being inspected.

“It’s them.”

The old man’s lightning-like eyes swept over Kou Xing, Green Face, Scarlet Silk, Lin Xun and the others before fixing on Miss Le.

“It\'s her!” The other experts’ eyes gleamed with murderous intent as if they were eager to act.

“Let’s go!”

Immediately, the group of people rushed towards the boundary river like a gust of wind.

“Who are they? They’re so terrifying!”

“They don’t look like they are from the West Infinity World.”

“It’s going to be chaotic. The Boundary River is changing, and countless storms will happen here!”

All cultivators’ expressions morphed indefinitely as they discussed the situation. 

Every single person in that group of people seemed like a killer from the Asura Hell. 

Especially the six half-step kings in charge!

……

The boundary river was vast, turbulent, and littered with storms everywhere. Inside it, time and space were in chaos, and natural disasters broke out from time to time.  

After stepping into the boundary river, Kou Xing brought out a dark gray boat to carry everyone through the river.

Green Face was in charge of direction.

Scarlet Silk and other explorers were stationed in different corners of the ship, ready to fight.

According to them, the boundary river was riddled with dangers, and even experienced experts dared not let down their guards. 

There were far too many eerie and unknown things happening within the boundary river. The sky was dark, and places would frequently crumble into a suffocating black hole. 

Along the way, they occasionally ran into groups of cultivators, but as time went by, such groups were rarer and rarer to see…

Suddenly, a bizarre whimpering and wailing sound filled the air. Although it sounded very illusionary, it was very real like it had come from the end of the world.

Kou Xing’s face contorted with shock and horror as he peered into the distance. 

Far away on the turbulent dull-gray river surface was a strange, blood-colored, praying mat bobbing up and down.  

On the praying mat sat a barely visible woman figure who was sobbing with her head low. A blood sword was pierced horizontally through her neck. 

The others were also aghast. There was a blood colored mat, mournful cries, and a sobbing woman who didn’t seem to notice the blood-colored sword that had stabbed through her neck. 

The scene was undeniably creepy.

Suddenly, Kou Xing seemed to have noticed something very frightening. He cried out, “Quickly run!”

What is it?

Lin Xun wanted to ask, but before he could speak, Kou Xing and the others had already steered the treasure ship away from this area.

Rumble—

Soon, Lin Xun’s blood went cold. The area where they had stood before exploded. The sky collapsed, and the raging river transformed into a whirlpool, swallowing up the area…

“That…”

Lin Xun’s face paled. He would have lost his life if he was any slower.  

“That was rumored to be a remnant memory of a Saint fallen here in ancient times. Even time can’t corrode or erase it. In the boundary river, if you encounter such phantom-like creatures, you must leave immediately, otherwise, you will definitely die here!” Scarlet Silk explained as if she saw the bewilderment within Lin Xun. 

A remnant Saint memory!

Lin Xun thought of the Wraith Army he encountered in the Dao Burial Sea Mound of the Spirit Burial Sea, but the remnant Saint memory was undoubtedly more terrifying.

The ship continued onwards, but the environment and atmosphere became increasingly oppressive. The sky and the earth were dark and gloomy, the river was constantly churning, turbulent currents of space frequently flashed in the air, and thunderstorms continued to rage.

Even Lin Xun shuddered at the sight. He would not have dared to travel this far if he had come by himself. 

It was no wonder that the boundary river was called a forbidden area throughout the times. It was indeed terrifying. Even old monsters of the king stage dared not to recklessly set foot into it. 

According to Scarlet Silk, if he wanted to reach the East Victory World on the other side of the river, he had to travel across the boundary river for at least half a month!

Moreover, as he reached deeper and deeper into the boundary river, it would only become more dangerous and ominous…

Fortunately for him, Kou Xing and the others were experienced veterans who had ventured in and out of the boundary river several times in the past. With them leading the way, they avoided many deadly dangers along the way. 

“Boss, look, that mountain of bones appeared again!” an explorer cried out.

In an area far away, the tumbling river pushed up a mountain-like pile of bones. Blood streamed down from the mountain in a strange and unsettling way. 

It was unknown how tall the mountain of bones was, but blood colored flowers extended out from the bones one after another. The petals were bright red, and the blood streaming down turned out to be pouring out from the flower stamen. 

“Spirit Burial Mountain and Blood Purgatory Flowers!”

Kou Xing and the others were aghast. They never expected to encounter such an ominous scene in less than two hours after they entered the boundary river. 

Spirit Burial Mountain was a burial zone for the spirits of experts from ancient times. 

The Blood Purgatory Flower was more terrifying in that it fed on the flesh and blood of cultivators. Flesh and blood would be instantly destroyed upon contact with it as though they had fallen into a blood purgatory!

Generally speaking, both the Spirit Burial Mountain and the Bloody Purgatory Flower only existed in ancient times, and only the most dangerous places contaminated with blood could give birth to such ominous things.

Their appearance signified the coming of a disaster! 

“Quickly run!”

Kou Xing’s face turned ashen. He thought that because the boundary river had changed, there would be fewer bizarre and ominous encounters, but not long after they set off, they had already dealt with two peculiar scenes.

First was the remnant Saint memory, but now it was the Burial Spirit Mountain and the Blood Purgatory Flower!

This cast a shadow over Kou Xing and the others.

“If there are powerful Buddhist cultivators here, the Spirit Burial Mountain and the Blood Purgatory Flower would be a great opportunity.” Miss Le suddenly said softly, “They have immeasurable benefit in tempering their Fearless Zen Mind and Arhat Golden Body."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xun’s dark eyes. The sickly-looking girl seemed to know many unknown secrets. 

Kou Xing and the others couldn’t care because after witnessing the ominous scene, they were already operating the ship to full speed to flee, worried that disaster would descend on them.

Seconds later, Kou Xing’s countenance changed. He roared, “It’s bad, get ready to fight!”

“Huh?”

At the same time, Lin Xun released his spirit sense, but he detected no danger. 

While he was puzzled, Kou Xing and the others steered the treasure ship to a halt and stood facing forward with guarded gazes as if they were about to face a formidable enemy. 

“Do you see? We explorers called that gray fog ominous fog. Its appearance signifies the coming of danger,” Scarlet Silk explained. 

She had been taking good care of Lin Xun along the way, occasionally teaching him about the landscape in the boundary river and sharing her experience in avoiding dangers. 

Lin Xun followed her gaze and saw wisps of gray fog rising from the turbulent river, like clouds of smoke.

A feeling of fear gripped him and his blood ran cold. He suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. The mist did not look particularly threatening, but it seemed to be seeped with an eerie aura. 

“It’s coming!” Kou Xing’s expression turned solemn. 

At the same time, Lin Xun also saw a mass of dark clouds emerging silently from the gray fog.

He looked closer and realized that it wasn’t exactly dark clouds, but moths that looked similar to swallowtail butterflies. They were entirely jet-black with striking red eyes and bright white fangs. 

Each one was at least the size of a palm with jet-black wings that produced wisps of gray fog, just like demon moths from hell. 

There were so many of them that they blotted out the sky. From afar, they resembled storm clouds looming over the area and creating a stifling atmosphere. 

“Phantom Winged Spirit Moths!”

“I can’t believe it’s them…this is going to be troublesome!”

“It’s over, it might be over for us…”

Kou Xing and his fellow explorers turned pale, and their bodies became stiff. They had a wealth of experience so they had heard before that wherever Phantom Winged Spirit Moths appear, no one could escape death!

“Are they that terrifying?” Lin Xun scrunched his brows. 

Unexpectedly, it was Miss Le who explained aloud, “The Phantom Winged Spirit Moth is a species from ancient times. Its body is completely derived from spirit power. In other words, ordinary martial arts are ineffective against them, and they can only be killed with arts that specifically target the spirit.

“They are born from feeding on the fragments of spirits of cultivators after they die. The most terrifying thing about them is that they can also master the secret arts, inheritances, and other memories of the cultivator after they devoured them. This means that they could erupt with unpredictable and unimaginable powers in battle.”

Lin Xun exclaimed in his heart. The Phantom Winged Spirit Moth is indeed bizarre!

“Miss Le, do you have a way to deal with them?” Kou Xing couldn’t help asking.

“I have a string of bells that should be able to subdue them, but I will need you all to restrain them first.” Miss Le seemed frail and sickly, but at this moment, a glint of determination and confidence flashed in her clear eyes.

“Okay! We will fight with all our strength!” Kou Xing and others nodded without hesitation.

“Young Master Lin Xia, you shouldn’t stay here. You should go back to your room to hide. When the battle starts, I’m worried that we can’t take care of you,” Scarlet Silk urged. 

Lin Xun was a little lost for words. If other cultivators learned that he, the mighty Demon God Lin, needed someone to take care of him, what would they think?

However, he still felt touched and appreciative of how Scarlet Silk treated him. 

He reassured in a serious voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down. How can I back down in the face of the enemy?”

They were all in the same boat. Moreover, Lin Xun had to rely on Kou Xing and the others to help him go to the East Victory World, so he would not just stand and watch.

Scarlet Silk frowned and was about to say something when a sharp hiss sounded in the distance!

The ear-piercing sound brought a rush of sharp pain to everyone’s spirit and caused goosebumps to spread all over their skin. 

Undoubtedly, it was an attack on the spirit!

“They are coming! Prepare to fight!” Kou Xing roared.
