“A tiny bead, but it actually contains the blood of a Corpse Emperor.”
Zhang Ruochen recited in a low voice, a puzzled look in his eyes.
The Corpse Emperor’s blood in the Green-eyed Blue Blood Bead was quite bizarre, and Yin Xuan Ji had only absorbed a single drop of it, yet his power had increased greatly, and he wasn’t even half as weak as a first-tier powerhouse.
“Howl.”
From Yin Xuan Ji’s mouth, a long whine came out as he once again exploded into a blast, transforming into a white light that slammed into Zhang Ruochen.
This time, Zhang Ruochen was prepared, shifting his right foot backwards, pulling off a bow step, and pinching his sword with both hands, reaching the realm of human sword unity, he also transformed into a stream of light and flew forward.
There was a bang.
The tip of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword collided with Yin Xuan Ji’s chest.
It didn’t pierce through his body, but instead, a sound of clashing gold and stone came out, as if it was a sword striking on top of an iron mountain.
Both of them flew backwards at the same time, re-distancing by tens of feet.
The shroud on Yin Xuan Ji’s body emerged with a golden pattern as thin as a cow’s hair, densely intertwined.
It was the shroud that blocked the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
A hoarse voice came out of Yin Xuan Ji’s mouth as he said, “I have the Heaven’s Destiny Emperor’s shroud protecting my body, and I have the Corpse Emperor’s blood to add to my body, so today, you will definitely die.”
“I’m afraid you’re not that capable.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Both of Yin Xuanji’s claws were raised at the same time, and behind him, a green-coloured Corpse Shadow presented itself, radiating an overbearing, eerie power.
Zhang Ruochen injected his body’s Saint Qi, in a steady stream, into the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, activating two thousand inscriptions in the sword’s body.
The sword was swung into battle.
The Thousand Inscription Destruction Power was unleashed along with the sword qi, sending the pouncing Yin Xuan Ji flying out, flying all the way to dozens of miles away and crashing into the top of the ancient city’s walls.
Even though Yin Xuan Ji had the Shroud protecting his body, it was difficult for him to withstand the sword, and blood spilled out between the gaps in the Shroud.
After Zhang Ruochen had broken through to the realm of the Eighth Order Half-Saint, the grade of Saint Qi in his body had also risen drastically, so even if he exploded the Thousand Stripes Destruction Strength multiple times, he didn’t have to worry about depleting his Saint Qi.
Executing a Spatial Great Shift, Zhang Ruochen reached the top of the city wall and once again induced the Thousand Stripes Destruction Power.
“Wow…”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword transformed into a light shuttle and flew downwards, landing inside the ruins.
The sword qi was simply too terrifying, its penetrating power reaching a rather astonishing level, and on the ground, it left behind a black hole in the ground with a diameter of three feet, so deep that it could not see the bottom.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, sensing that the sword had failed to hit Yin Xuanji.
“Come back.”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his five fingers and pinched them into the void.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out from the bottom of the hole in the ground and fell back into his hand.
Roughly ten miles away from Zhang Ruochen, Yin Xuan Ji rushed out from the bottom of the ground and held his hands upwards, a steady stream of holy qi surging out from the palms of both hands, punching into the Green-eyed Blue Blood Bead.
On the surface of the bead, dense blood-red inscriptions emerged, converging together to form a hideous ghost eye.
The ghost eye was closed and did not open.
Even so, all of the living beings in the entire ancient city felt a suffocating power radiating out from the green-eyed blue blood bead.
“What a terrifying power fluctuation, it feels like the King of Hell is about to descend to earth.”
“What’s going on, could it be that a Saint realm being has come to the Green Dragon Market Realm?”
……
All the cultivators felt an invisible pressure, as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to sink, causing one’s legs to tremble uncontrollably.
Zhang Ruochen was also somewhat moved, could it be, “Could it be that there is a Corpse Emperor sealed inside that green-coloured bead?”
With Yin Xuan Ji’s cultivation, it seemed to be quite difficult to support the Green-eyed Bixi Blood Bead, as his arms kept trembling and hissing sounds came out of his mouth, “Open your eyes.”
The ghost eye on the Green-eyed Blue-blooded Bead opened a slit and shot out a blood-red beam of light, striking at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t fight hard, instead, he executed Spatial Shift and dodged to the right.
Even so, his left shoulder, was still grazed by the beam of light, leaving a wound that became drenched in blood.
“Wow!”
A second light beam flew out, striking Zhang Ruochen once again.
“Spatial Distortion.”
Zhang Ruochen unleashed the Spatial Domain, mobilising the power of space completely, forming a series of six layers of distorted space.
However, the power contained in the beam of light was quite terrifying, and without creating too much distortion, it flew past the right side of Zhang Ruochen’s cheek, leaving behind a bloodstain.
Just a little bit short, Zhang Ruochen’s head would have been pierced through.
In fact, Yin Xuan Ji was also in a bad way, with his current cultivation, he was unable to harness the Ghost Eyes at all, and could only forcefully activate the power of the Green Eyed Blue Blood Pearl.
With every strike, a popping sound would come out of his body, scattering a cloud of blood mist.
The two continued to exchange blows, and every time, Zhang Ruochen was able to narrowly avoid the beams of light.
“Chop for me.”
Finally, Zhang Ruochen seized once and rushed above Yin Xuanji’s head, chopping a spatial rift out.
“Pfft!”
One of Yin Xuan Ji’s left arm was chopped off, and a large amount of blood flowed out.
Even if the Shroud’s defence was strong, it still couldn’t stop the spatial power after all.
“I’m not convinced, fight again.”Yin Xuanji roared.
Zhang Ruochen struck the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword out, slashing at his body.
A low, miserable scream came out of Yin Xuan Ji’s mouth, no longer able to support the Green-eyed Blue Blood Bead as he staggered backward a dozen steps and half-kneeled on the ground.
In the other direction, Huang Smokey, Qing Mo, Da Sikong, Xiao Hei, and Zhao Shiqi, finally broke through the large corpse formation.
Losing the corpse formation, the cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race could no longer suppress them.
Huang Yichen’s eyes were icy cold as he swung his holy sword, and with every strike of the sword, a cultivator of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race was bound to fall in a pool of blood.
Just now, in the corpse formation, Da Sikong had suffered a considerable amount of injuries.
At this moment, he was seething with rage, holding his Zen staff as he beat a battle corpse into pieces and turned it into dust.
After all, he was an orthodox Buddhist cultivator, and Da Sikong did not go on a killing spree, otherwise, he would have had to behead a few cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race.
Seeing that Yin Xuan Ji had been heavily injured by Zhang Ruochen, the cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan suddenly, lost all fighting spirit and found it difficult to organise another formation attack.
The situation was lopsided, and the Cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race began to rout.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on the Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl, knowing that it must be the Ancient Corpse Catching Race’s greatest treasure, so he reached forward and grabbed it, wanting to collect it.
However, the Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl shuddered violently, breaking free from the holy qi that Zhang Ruochen had struck out, and flew high into the air.
Zhang Ruochen let out a light eep, revealing an incredulous expression.
The Green-eyed Blue Blood Bead hung in mid-air, and within it, a young man’s voice came out, “I really didn’t expect that there would still be a supreme genius like you in this era, it’s truly remarkable.”
It was clearly a very young voice, but it gave off an ancient flavour with a sense of vicissitude.
Immediately after, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, clad in a black garment, walked out of the Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl.
The young man was exceptionally good-looking, with features that were a few points more delicate than a woman’s, and with his arms behind his back, his body had an aura of power over the world.
The cultivators and war corpses of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race all knelt on the ground and said in unison, “Greetings to Lord Corpse Emperor.”
Not only that, the corpses of those natives, like walking corpses, rose from the ground and knelt down, bowing to the young man standing in midair.
The corpses made a pilgrimage.
Corpse Emperor?
“How is that possible? A Corpse Emperor level figure, once he steps into the Green Dragon Market Realm, the entire world will crumble.”
Zhao Shiqi felt his vest go cold and his legs and stomach go a little soft, almost kneeling on the ground.
The hairs on Xiao Hei’s body, all stood up and said, “It’s not certain that it’s really a Corpse Emperor. However, it should just be a wisp of Corpse Emperor’s corpse qi condensing out of the figure, not the Corpse Emperor’s real body. The Corpse Emperor’s true body is most likely inside the Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl, unable to descend to the Green Dragon Market Realm.”
“Since that’s the case, why be afraid of him and directly destroy him.”Da Sikong roared.
Xiao Hei Bai gave him a glance and said, “Even if it’s just a wisp of Corpse Emperor’s Corpse Qi, it’s not something we can withstand.”
Yellow Smoke Dust immediately rushed forward and stood side by side with Zhang Ruochen.
The Corpse Emperor’s face was tinged with a faint smile as he said, “Seventy thousand years ago, this Emperor died, thinking that he would be silenced forever. However, I never thought that under the nurturing of the Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl, the Corpse was born with a new consciousness and had a chance to live another life.”
“Seventy thousand years ago ……”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he projected, and suddenly, his expression shook as he guessed the Corpse Emperor’s identity.
I’m afraid that the only great person who died 70,000 years ago was that person.
“Wow…”
The Corpse Emperor flew down from mid-air and rushed into Yin Xuan Ji’s body, fusing together.
Within Yin Xuan Ji’s body, miserable cries rang out.
“Why did Lord Corpse Emperor devour my holy soul?”
“From the moment you were born, it already means that you are this Emperor’s carrier, and only by devouring your holy soul and borrowing your physical body can this Emperor live another life.”
“So, you passed down the Bi Blood Sutra to me just for today.”Yin Xuanji roared.
“Originally, your previous physical body was the best body for rebirth, but it’s a pity that you were too weak to leave him in the netherworld. Now this physical body is only barely usable.”
……
Yin Xuan Ji’s roar, grew weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
Immediately after, Yin Xuan Ji’s severed left arm regrew, and the shroud on his body was broken by a powerful force, shattering and splitting apart, as if it were a white butterfly, falling to the ground.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, stood in the centre of the shattered cloth, exceptionally handsome, with a waterfall of long black hair swaying in the wind, his figure was straight, his skin was as crystalline as jade, his pupils radiated a greenish light, there was not a trace of corpse qi on his body, but instead, he radiated a kind of animated temperament.
“Finally back again!”
The Corpse Emperor looked at his hands and softly chanted, a warm jade-like smile appearing on his face.
Da Sikong, Zhao Shiqi, and the others, all guessed the Corpse Emperor’s identity as well, revealing a look of fear, unable to remain calm and collected.
Legend had it that the ancient great emperor who had established a central empire had died for seventy thousand years, and now, had once again descended into the world to live a second life.
The Corpse Emperor wasn’t in his prime, being a newborn body that hadn’t reached the Saint realm.
However, even as he just stood there quietly, he created a great oppressive force on everyone present, destroying their will to fight.
Perhaps it was only Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yixian who were still able to maintain their fighting spirit and were ready to fight at any time.
