“A small marble contains the blood of a corpse emperor.”
Zhang Ruochen mumbled and looked confused.
The blood of the corpse emperor inside Green Eye Blue Blood Marble was strange. Yin Xuanji’s power surged after only absorbing one drop of it, and he was now at the same level as top-tier great beings.
“Howl!”
Yin Xuanji roared, and he dashed toward Zhang Ruochen rapidly like a trace of white light again.
This time, Zhang Ruochen had prepared himself for this. He took a step back with his right foot, lunging and holding his sword with both of his hands, reaching the status of Human Sword. He then rushed forward like a trace of light.
“Peng!”
The tip of Abyss Ancient Sword hit the chest of Yin Xuanji.
Instead of piercing through his body, it made the sound of a clash between gold and stones as if the sword struck an iron mountain.
Both of them bounced back at the same time, and they were hundreds of miles away from each other again.
Thin golden patterns emerged from the shroud enveloping Yin Xuanji, and they were intertwined with each other.
It was the shroud that resisted the Abyss Ancient Sword.
Yin Xuanji said with a hoarse voice, “I have the shroud from Emperor Tianming to protect my body, and I have the blood of the corpse emperor. You’re going to die today for sure.”
“I reckon you’re not strong enough to do that.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Yin Xuanji raised both of his claws, and a blue shadow of a corpse came into being behind him, emanating potent and ghastly power.
Zhang Ruochen kept infusing the Abyss Ancient Sword with Holy Qi inside his body, activating two thousand inscriptions in the sword.
He waved his sword again.
Destruction of Thousand-patterns was let out with Sword Qi, knocking Yin Xuanji away until he bounced tens of miles far, hitting the wall of the ancient city.
Even with the shroud to protect him, Yin Xuanji still couldn’t ward off that strike completely. Blood was spilled on the shroud.
After becoming a level-eight half saint, Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi was also improved to another level. Even if he used Destruction of Thousand-patterns several times, he still had abundant Holy Qi.
He performed Great Spatial Move, arriving at the top of the city wall and mobilized Destruction of Thousand-patterns again.
“Hua!”
The Abyss Ancient Sword dived like a light shuttle, falling on the ruins.
Sword Qi was too terrific, and the piercing power was too strong, leaving a black hole with a diameter of thirty feet.
Zhang Ruochen frowned as he could feel that he didn’t hit Yin Xuanji with that strike.
“Come back.”
Zhang Ruochen extended his fingers and pinched in the space.
Abyss Ancient Sword flew out of the abyss and fell back to his hand.
Ten miles away from Zhang Ruochen, Yin Xuanji rushed out of underground. He held his hands up, and Holy Qi gushed out of his palms, striking Green Eye Blue Blood Marble.
Blood-red inscriptions emerged from the marble. They gathered together, forming a ferocious ghost eye.
The ghost eye didn’t open.
Even so, the creatures in the ancient city could feel a suffocating power emanating from Green Eye Blue Blood Marble.
“Terrific energy ripples. It’s like the king of the hell is coming to the world.”
“What’s happening? Are creatures from state of saint coming to Blue Dragon Void World?”
…
All the monks felt an invisible force as if the sky were falling and the ground were sinking. Their legs couldn’t help shaking.
Zhang Ruochen was also moved. He wondered, “Is there a corpse emperor inside the blue marble?”
It was difficult for Yin Xuanji to support an entire Blue Eye Green Blood Marble as he didn’t have enough cultivation. His arm kept shaking, and he yelled, “Open!”
The ghost eye on Blue Eye Green Blood Marble opened a crack and shot a trace of blood-red light toward Zhang Ruochen.
Instead of resisting it directly, Zhang Ruochen performed Great Spatial Move and dodged it.
Even so, his left shoulder was hit by the light, which wounded his shoulder and led to blood.
“Hua!”
The second trace of light was shot and hit toward Zhang Ruochen.
“Spatial twist.”
Zhang Ruochen let out a space domain, mobilizing the power of the space, forming six layers to twisted space.
However, the power contained in that beam was extremely powerful. It wasn’t twisted much and flew across the right cheek of Zhang Ruochen, leaving a scar.
It almost pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Yin Xuanji was also under lots of pressure. His cultivation wasn’t strong enough to control the ghost eye. He could barely mobilize the power in Blue Eye Green Blood Marble.
Each hit made a cracking sound on his body, emanating a cluster of bloody mist.
They kept fighting each other, and each time, Zhang Ruochen could dodge the beam.
“Slash!”
Eventually, Zhang Ruochen seized a chance to rush to above Yin Xuanji and slashed a space crack.
“Pu!”
A left arm of Yin Xuanji was cut off, and he bled like hell.
The defense of the shroud was indeed impressive, yet it couldn’t ward off the power of the space.
“No! I’ll fight you again!” Yin Xuanji yelled.
Zhang Ruochen wielded his Abyss Ancient Sword again, and it slashed his body.
Yin Xuanji yelled in agony, and he wasn’t able to continue manipulating the Blue Eye Green Blood Marble. He took tens of steps back, kneeling on the ground with one knee.
At another direction, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, Sikong One, Blackie and Zhao Shiqi finally broke the corpse formation.
Without the corpse formation, the monks from Ancient Necromancer Race couldn’t suppress them at all.
Huang Yanchen looked cold. She waved her divine sword, and every time she struck, there would be one monk from Ancient Necromancer Race killed.
Sikong One was severely injured in the corpse formation.
He couldn’t be more furious. He held the Buddha staff in his hand, disintegrating all the battle corpses.
After all, he was a real buddha monk, so Sikong One didn’t decide to slaughter, otherwise, he would’ve killed those monks from Ancient Necromancer Race.
As the monks saw Yin Xuanji severely injured by Zhang Ruochen, they lost all their spirits and couldn’t organize a formation to make attack anymore.
The monks from Ancient Necromancer Race were being crushed.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Blue Eye Green Blood Marble, knowing that it was an invaluable treasure of Ancient Necromancer Race, so he reached out his hand and tried to take it.
However, the Blue Eye Green Blood Marble shook, getting rid of the Holy Qi mobilized by Zhang Ruochen, and flew up in the sky.
Zhang Ruochen was shocked by what he saw.
Blue Eye Green Blood floated in the air, and the voice of a young man came out, “I can’t believe I can find someone amazing like you in this era. Impressive.”
It was a very young voice, yet it still felt a bit ancient and experienced.
And then, a young man who looked eighteen walked out of Blue Eye Green Marble, wearing a black cape.
That young man looked exquisite, and his sense organs were more delicate than those of a girl. He put his arms behind his back as he was the king of the world.
All the monks and battle corpses groveled and yelled, “Corpse Emperor, your majesty!”
The bodies of the aboriginal people also climbed up and kneeled down, groveling at the young man standing in the air.
All the corpses were groveling at him.
Corpse emperor?
“How is it possible? If someone like Corpse Emperor enters Blue Dragon Void Space, the entire world will crumble.”
Zhao Shiqi felt a chill on his back, and he couldn’t even stand up on his feet.
Blackie was also scared. It said, “Perhaps he is indeed the Corpse Emperor, but I think this is only a human shape formed by the corpse Qi of Corpse Emperor instead of the real body of Corpse Emperor. The real body of Corpse Emperor might be hiding in that Blue Eye Green Blood Marble and can’t get into Blue Dragon Void World.”
“Then why should we be afraid of him. Let’s kill him now.” Sikong One yelled.
Blackie shot him a glance and said, “Even if this is only a corpse Qi of Corpse Emperor, it’s still much more powerful than us.”
Huang Yanchen rushed forward and stood beside Zhang Ruochen.
There was a faint smile on the face of Corpse Emperor. He said, “I died seventy thousand years ago, and I thought I could never be reborn again. Little did I expect was that my corpse gave birth to new consciousness under the nurturing of Blue Eye Green Blood Marble, and I have another chance to live again.”
“Seventy thousand years ago…”
Zhang Ruochen squinted his eyes. He reckoned a bit and figured out the identity of Corpse Emperor.
Someone major who died seventy thousand years ago. He could only think of one possibility.
“Hua!”
Corpse Emperor dived and rushed into the body of Yin Xuanji, trying to merge himself with him.
Yin Xuanji screamed in agony.
“Why are you swallowing my saint soul, Corpse Emperor?”
“Ever since you were born, you have been destined to be the carrier of me. Only after swallowing your saint soul and borrowing your flesh can I live again.”
“So, you gave me ‘Blue Blood Scripture’ just for today.” Yin Xuanji screamed in anger.
“Your original body is the best carrier, but you’re so weak that you left it in the netherworld. As for this body, I can make do with it.”
…
The roaring from Yin Xuanji kept fainting until it completely withered away.
And then, the left arm of Yin Xuanji grew out again, and the shroud was burst by a powerful force. It was shattered and the remains fell on the ground like white butterflies.
A young man who was around eighteen years old stood at the center of the clothes, and he looked marvelous. His long hair flickered in the wind like a waterfall. He had a nicely-built body with perfect skin. His eyes were gleaming with green light, and there was no corpse Qi on him, instead, he looked intelligent.
“Finally, I’m back.”
Corpse Emperor looked at his hands, mumbled and smiled elegantly.
Sikong One, Zhao Shiqi and the others all figured out who this Corpse Emperor really was. They looked terrified and couldn’t calm themselves down.
It was a great emperor who established a central kingdom. It had been seventy thousand years since he died, and now, he arrived on the earth again for a second chance to live.
Corpse Emperor wasn’t at his prime and he was a newborn. He hadn’t reached state of saint yet.
However, by barely standing there quietly gave everyone a lot of pressure, which destroyed the fighting will of everyone.
Perhaps only Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen still had the spirits to fight at any time.
