Chapter 478: Ambush
Though he had failed to refine a living corpse, the gains from this endeavor were still considerable.
After this attempt, Qin Sang had developed a thorough understanding of the Fake Core Realm. He would be much more confident and composed in his next round of corpse refinement.
Once the Earth Malevolent Qi had dissipated, Qin Sang carefully erased all traces of his aura before leaving the plaza and stepping onto the stone path.
He hadn’t expected so much to happen. Now there was less than two quarters of an hour before he had to leave Zhitian Peak.
Time was too short. Qin Sang chose to retrace his steps rather than search for that Tianxing Alliance cultivator. He planned to leave this barrier-ridden region as quickly as possible, return to the outer perimeter of the valley, and resume gathering more Elemental Star Stones.
The Snow Spirit Lotus and Iris Flower were the top priority. He could not allow them to fall into anyone else's hands.
The surrounding barriers had also been affected by the spatial storm triggered by the Star-Controlling Elder. Some slight changes had occurred, but fortunately, they were still within controllable limits.
After walking a certain distance, Qin Sang found a sea of fire conjured by a barrier and tossed in all the belongings of the handsome young man, watching with his own eyes as the fierce flames devoured everything.
Resuming his journey, Qin Sang finally had the time to check his own condition.
In his battle with the young man, he had handled it with relative ease and hadn’t sustained any real injuries.
However, due to relying heavily on the Cold Gold Sword and having clashed it against the young man’s artifacts several times, the sword's spiritual essence had been damaged. Its luster had grown dim.
