After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

In just a moment, several corpse puppet beasts turned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

Qin Chuan had previously discovered the weakness of these corpse puppet beasts: they were afraid of fire.

The fire seed is the undisputed king of fire, and the nemesis of these monsters.

Roar!

These corpse-like beasts let out a low growl, instantly causing a commotion.

Clearly, Qin Chuan's actions just now had angered them.

However, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they all turned their heads and looked at the dark red corpse puppet beast.

It seems to be waiting for its command.

"It really does possess intelligence..."

Qin Chuan frowned, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Since you're all tired of living, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Chuan struck first, waving his hand and sending the fire seed split into several pieces.

The flames of the ignition ignited instantly, burning more than ten corpse puppet beasts to death in a flash.

Roar!

The dark red corpse beast let out a low growl, signaling a charge, completely ignoring the burning corpse beasts.

Soon, countless corpse puppet beasts rushed towards Qin Chuan.

Even though the first corpse puppet beasts were burned to ashes as soon as they entered the fire, other corpse puppet beasts still followed one after another.

Gradually, Qin Chuan began to feel somewhat powerless.

Controlling the fire for an extended period also requires a significant amount of profound energy.

A moment later, Qin Chuan gave a low shout and used the deep red flames of the Fire Seed to create a wall of fire.

As he watched the endless stream of corpse puppet beasts charging towards him, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Some of the charging corpse beasts stopped abruptly upon seeing the walls of fire, their faces showing hesitation.

Roar!

The dark red corpse beast leader roared and gave the order to charge again, forcing his subordinates to continue advancing.

With no other option, these corpse beasts had to grit their teeth and keep moving forward.

Crimson flames burned on the corpse puppet beasts, quickly turning them to ashes, but then another corpse puppet beast filled the void.

One after another, they charged forward fearlessly, defying death!

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's expression turned somewhat ugly.

If these corpse-like beasts were too afraid to move forward, that would be one thing.

But now these corpse puppet beasts are committing suicide, paving the way for the corpse puppet beasts that follow with their own lives.

"Heaven-Shattering Palm!"

In the brief moment of manipulating the fire, Qin Chuan unleashed a palm strike, instantly hitting the corpse puppet beasts in front of him and sending them all flying.

But as soon as these corpse puppet beasts were blasted away, other corpse puppet beasts immediately took their place and continued to pounce on Qin Chuan.

It flows endlessly, as if there is no end.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan's expression gradually darkened.

"It's draining my profound energy!"

After a long pause, Qin Chuan seemed to understand something and slapped his forehead.

"Damn it, how could we forget the principle of capturing the leader first!"

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and swiftly slashed the tip of his middle finger with the Xuanchi sword.

Bright red blood flowed out, instantly staining his fingers.

The next moment, Qin Chuan moved and used the Falling Leaf Step to rush straight towards the dark red corpse puppet beast.

In the instant he got close, he suddenly pointed his middle finger forward.

"Die!"

A beam of blood-red light, carrying an aura of destruction, shot out instantly, hurtling towards the face of the dark red corpse puppet beast.

The dark red corpse puppet beast's face showed a look of terror. It never expected that Qin Chuan would suddenly attack it.

Just as it was about to react, it was too late; the blood-red light instantly struck its body.

Just hear a bang!

The dark red corpse beast was instantly blasted to pieces, and countless drops of black blood fell from the sky.

Not only the dark red corpse puppet leader, but also many other corpse puppets nearby were blown to pieces.

The ground was littered with corpses!

In addition, the passage that was originally two or three zhang long was actually blown into more than ten zhang long.

"Woo!"

At this moment, the remaining corpse puppets, seeing that their leader was dead, let out a strange sound.

They retreated like a receding tide, fleeing this place.

"call…"

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan gasped for breath, and the anxiety that had been weighing on his heart finally eased.

The leader of this corpse puppet beast was at the ninth level of the Profound King realm. In order to ensure a fatal blow, he had to use the Floating Pagoda Finger technique.

However, after using his profound energy continuously, coupled with this move, the Floating Pagoda Finger, he had already exhausted most of his profound energy.

If these corpse-like beasts continue to attack him with the same fearlessness as before, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan made the right bet, and this worst-case scenario did not occur.

"Quick, hurry up and follow! There seems to be some movement over there!"

Just then, a commotion arose from behind.

Although the sound was faint, it was clearly approaching.

"Oops!"

Qin Chuan frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.

He knew he was wasting too much time here, and the commotion he had caused had already attracted some cultivators.

If we don't leave now, it will be too late...

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and hurried forward.

This place is complicated and complex. Although it will take some time for those people to find us, it's only a matter of time before they find us here.

It can't be delayed any longer.

As he swallowed pills to restore his profound energy, Qin Chuan moved forward quickly.

Along the way, he encountered several more waves of the same Corpse Puppet Beasts.

Fortunately, the dark red corpse puppet beasts were gone. These ordinary corpse puppet beasts dared not approach at all after seeing the fire released by Qin Chuan.

After opening several more stone doors, a wide-open space suddenly appeared before us.

An incredibly dense aura enveloped Qin Chuan.

Sensing this rich spiritual energy, he had a sudden thought and looked up ahead.

"This is... the core of the ore vein!"

Before Qin Chuan was a huge group of mineral stones, each of which was surrounded by a faint aura.

Looking at so much ore, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

I never expected there to be so many minerals containing mystical energy here.

And this is the core location of the entire mineral vein.

"What...what is this?!"

Just then, Qin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked towards the very center of the area.

There, a blood-red eye floated in mid-air, surrounded by incredibly dense black mist.

It looks very weird.

At the same time, Qin Chuan also noticed that there were six stone sculptures of corpse puppet beasts around the blood-red eyes.

The black aura originated from these stone carvings and then coiled around the blood-red eyes.

From a distance, these black wisps looked like six interconnected black chains.

And these six stone sculptures are constantly drawing something from the blood-red eyes.

"This doesn't seem like some kind of inheritance of double pupils; it's more like the double pupils are sealed here..."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan was both shocked and puzzled.

"Blood Flame Shatters the Heavens!"

After a moment's hesitation, he took out his Xuan Chi sword and slashed at the black mist and one of the stone sculptures of the corpse puppet beast.

The next moment, the black mist, like chains, broke apart and then quickly reassembled.

However, the stone sculptures did not react at all.

"Use the Primordial Aura to deal with it!" Empress Yaoxi reminded her at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan did not hesitate and immediately controlled the Primordial Aura to approach the black mist.

As the primordial aura drew closer, the black mist seemed terrified, struggling and retreating until it all shrank back into the stone statue.

Immediately afterwards, that bright red, somewhat eerie eye was fully exposed in mid-air.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and cautiously walked towards it.
