Myriad Paths of the Dragon Emperor

Chapter 5597: The infected

Lu Ming heaved a long sigh of relief. He had finally refined it.

The gray shadow was not very powerful, but its life force was shockingly strong. Its power was also extremely overbearing, as if it could assimilate everything.

It was extremely difficult to kill.

Fortunately, the Trinity was even more overbearing. The three types of celestial energy fused and refined the gray shadow in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Lu Mingʼs gaze swept in one direction. It was the bald burly man who had escaped earlier.

The bald burly manʼs expression changed and he quickly retreated, putting some distance between him and Lu Ming. He looked at Lu Ming warily and said,”Which great cosmos do you come from?”

Now that there were two camps competing for supremacy in the underworld, he was naturally full of vigilance before he knew which camp Lu Ming was from.

”River of forgetfulness!”

Lu Ming said concisely.

so youʼre an immortal friend from the river of forgetfulness great cosmos. Iʼm black River from the dark blood great cosmos.

The bald man heaved a sigh of relief and lowered his guard.

The river of forgetfulness great cosmos and the dark blood great cosmos both belonged to the chaotic ruins ʼcamp.

”Brother Heihe, how are your injuries?”

Lu Ming glanced at Black River. There were claw wounds on his body and the wounds were gray. He must have been scratched by the sharp claws of the person earlier.

Lu Ming was surprised that Black riverʼs wound had not recovered even after he had used his cultivation technique to heal it.

Existences at the celestial King stage had powerful celestial bodies and powerful life forces. They could recover from any external injuries in an instant.

itʼs fine. Itʼs just a small injury. Itʼs just that the power is overbearing and itʼs a little difficult to remove it in a short time. Itʼll be fine after some time.

Black River laughed.

Lu Ming nodded. He was not too concerned and asked, ” ”Brother Heihe, what did you guys encounter? whatʼs the origin of that gray shadow? how did your friend get possessed?”

we found a corpse on a fragment of the continent in front of us. There was a shed skin on the corpse.

this great universe is deathly silent and has been drifting in the boundless chaos for countless years. The corpses of all living creatures have turned into ashes. Even the remains of true immortals and ordinary immortal kings have decayed and turned into ashes. However, that corpse has its remains and hasnʼt decayed. Itʼs definitely not a trivial matter. We speculate that it might have been left behind by a peak Immortal King.

Black riverʼs eyes burned with a fiery light.

The remains of a peak Celestial King were extraordinary and were definitely rare treasures.

To immortal kings, they were all very useful. After refining them, they could strengthen oneʼs body and even help in oneʼs transformation.

however, there was a gray shadow hidden in the corpse. My friend was caught off guard and was possessed by the gray shadow. He immediately attacked me as if he had gone crazy ...

Black River explained.

Lu Ming knew everything that happened after that.

Black riverʼs friend had been possessed by the gray shadow and attacked him frantically. After being possessed by the gray shadow, his combat strength had increased significantly. Black River could only run for his life. Fortunately, he had met Lu Ming. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

where exactly did you find the fragment of the molted continent? ”

Lu Ming asked.

Iʼm not sure. When I was running away, I kept changing directions to get rid of my pursuers. I only know the general direction, but I can take you there. I can find the fragment based on the clues I left behind.

Black River said.

”Then letʼs go!”

Lu Ming nodded.

Black River led the way while Lu Ming followed behind.

However, he had just flown a short distance when he noticed that Black River was trembling slightly in front of him.

”Black River, are you alright?”

Lu Ming frowned slightly and asked.

”I ... I ...”

Black River turned around slowly. Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.

Black riverʼs face was ashen, and his body was dry and gray. Gray mist was still coming out of his body.

His pupils were also covered in gray, and his face was full of ferocity.

”Ah ... Roar ...”

Black River suddenly roared and pounced at Lu Ming. His hands had become dry but extremely hard, like Immortal Weapons, as he grabbed at Lu Ming.

Buzzzzzz!

Lu Mingʼs figure moved and he retreated quickly to avoid the other partyʼs attack. However, Black River seemed to have gone crazy and attacked Lu Ming frantically.

”Are you infected?”

Lu Mingʼs heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the wounds on Black riverʼs body.

It was the wound caused by his friend. The wound was covered with gray gas, which seemed to be more abundant now.

It was obvious that the other party had become like this because of this wound.

It would go crazy just from being injured. This was similar to the reincarnation poison substance, but it was even more overbearing.

Lu Ming dodged the other partyʼs attack. At the same time, he used his immortal soul technique and shouted a few times, shaking the immortal soul of the Black River in the hope of waking the other party up.

However, it was useless. The other party had already been completely infected and corroded.

He was hopeless.

Lu Ming did not hold back anymore. He swept the blood dripping spear horizontally and crushed Black River with unparalleled power. Black riverʼs body exploded.

After the explosion, a gray shadow flew out.

”Black riverʼs immortal soul has already turned into a gray shadow. Has he been assimilated? Itʼs too overbearing to assimilate Black riverʼs immortal soul at such a fast speed ...”

Even Lu Ming was in awe.

No matter what, Black River was still a six change Immortal King. The immortal soul of a six change Immortal King was extremely powerful and very difficult to destroy.

However, in just a short while, he had been assimilated and turned into a gray shadow. This was a little terrifying.

Lu Ming immediately activated the Trinity. Boundless immortal energy burst out, enveloping the gray shadow and refining it continuously.

This grey shadow was easier to refine than the previous one. Perhaps it was because it had just assimilated Black riverʼs immortal soul, but it was completely refined after a while.

”This broken cosmos is definitely not safe. I have to be more careful in the future.”

Lu Ming pondered.

Of course, he wouldnʼt back down because of this.

He still had all kinds of trump cards. His crystal blade was able to severely injure a nine transformations Immortal King.

There was also Ye Qingʼs blood. Once it exploded, he would instantly possess the strength of a nine transformations Immortal King.

”It might be the remains of the nine transformations Immortal King. We canʼt miss it. Itʼs probably in that direction. Letʼs look for it.”

Lu Ming flew quickly in the general direction indicated by the Black River.

After searching for more than ten pieces of land fragments, Lu Ming finally found it.

In the middle of a large piece of land lay the corpse of a giant beast.

The giant beast had the body of a Lion but the head of a Goshawk. It even had a pair of wings on its back.

The giant beast was already deader than dead. It had long since lost all signs of life. However, there was a powerful energy fluctuation on its back.

Lu Ming observed it carefully and realized that it was a piece of bone armor that contained shocking energy.

As expected, it was shed skin.

The conditions for the formation of a shedding were harsh. After the Death of an Immortal, it would take a long time and special conditions to form a shed.

Not all living beings of the immortal Dao would leave behind their bodies after they died.

The shed skin contained most of the essence of this immortal Dao being.
