“Entering my corpse world, you won’t be allowed to live!”
The old man in black clothes said, his words boomed as it resonated with the earth and sky. With one word, a law was formed, and the originally dark sky turned even darker.
In the sky, lightning flashed, and covered the sky like a web. It looked like the hidden border had been sealed, not allowing anyone to escape.
At the same time, that Corpse Emperor’s fist unleashed its might, shattering the space next to Old Dragon. Like a blackhole, it fell on Old Dragon’s body!
Cultivator Junjun was suppressed by the power next to Old Dragon, and the blood in his body boiled. Being suppressed by the laws, if Old Dragon had not been there to hold it up for him, he would have been smashed to dust from just the pressure alone.
He hurriedly waved his hand, summoning six red banners, forming a spiralling flame that protected his body.
It was the Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure that he had obtained in the secret realm last time. The six banners came out, and could condense the law of a Fire God, burning all attacks around him. It was unrivalled in power!
However, his cultivation was far too weak compared to his opponents, and even the fire god was like a candle in a storm, swaying.
As for Old Dragon, his expression sank. He managed to think of thirty three different methods in his mind in a flash. In the end, he looked at that pitifully weak and helpless Cultivator Junjun, and he sighed in his heart, reluctantly giving up on the other thirty two perfect ways to escape.
There was nothing he could do, he was operating under the expert’s name. For the sake of the expert’s reputation, there was no way he would not help someone in need.
He raised his hand, summoning a wooden staff. No, more accurately, it was a branch, no different from a branch that was cut off a tree. It did not look like it had been processed at all, and was completely natural.
The branch did not have any spiritual energy on it, and seemed extremely ordinary. However, it did not look damaged at all despite the situation. Normally, the entire area had been destroyed by the punch by the Corpse Emperor, even the pressure alone was enough to destroy everything around them!
Old Dragon held the branch, and waited for that blackhole, piercing right into it!
In a flash, the Corpse Emperor’s fist was shattered, turning into nothing.
“How is that possible?”
“What kind of branch is that? It actually managed to block an attack from a Heavenly Realm deity, and eliminate law!”
“It’s just a meaningless struggle, he definitely won’t be able to defend himself against the Tiancheng Emperor’s finger!”
“Of course, that finger in the sky can even shatter time!”
“Wanting to leave our world alive, keep dreaming!”
The white haired old man looked at the branch in Old Dragon’s hand, and his ancient eyes suddenly had ripples on it, and started to glow.
“That branch is actually the main stem of a Chaos Spiritual Root! It’s a heaven-defying crafting material. If we get that branch, it can be used to craft an unrivalled tool!”
His white hair danced in the air as he increased his speed, rapidly closing in. At the same time, that finger was already pushing down from the sky!
The finger suddenly expanded a few times, covering the sky so much it practically became the sky, and was pushing down from the heavens!
“Too, too…too scary!”
Cultivator Junjun’s hair, beard and robes were dancing in the wind, even his mouth was crooked. He could feel that, under that finger, the time around them slowed down!
That was right, it even suppressed time!
The banners that Cultivator Junjun summoned started to shake, and as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it, the flames went out!
Under that finger, even time had been suppressed, let alone space, how could they beat it?
Furthermore, they were even in the opponent’s territory. Other than that white haired old man, there were other experts that were rushing over.
They were dead!
It was hopeless!
Cultivator Junjun could not help but say in a trembling voice, “Senior…Senior Dragon, just leave me be, you should run if you can.”
Old Dragon suddenly laughed, “Haha, what nonsense? I have never betrayed my teammates!”
Such a simple sentence felt like it had injected something into Cultivator Junjun’s heart, causing his eyes to burn as touched tears fell from his eyes.
Old Dragon held the branch in his hand, and he did not slow down as he faced that finger. Just like a sharp blade, he braved the storm as he pierced through the law!
As the finger was about to hit, Old Dragon waved his branch, as if he was used to using a branch to fight. With a light clap, that finger suddenly completely dispersed.
The white haired old man felt his right hand shake, leaving a red mark.
“The spiritual root in his hand has the ability to cut through spells!”
The white haired old man’s voice was raspy, it shook as he said passionately, “We have to detain him, and ask for the source of that root!”
“Unleash another Corpse Emperor! This person has to be suppressed!”
The black robed old man sped towards Old Dragon, a mighty power condensed around his body that was as imperious as a mountain. In his hand was a large black sword, which he slashed right at Old Dragon!
With that slash, space seemed to be torn apart like paper, and he flew right at Old Dragon!
In his eyes was a look of greed!
They were necromancers that could refine corpses, so they naturally dabbled in the Dao of refinement. The branch had the ability to destroy laws. The moment it was refined into a tool, coupled with the power of their zombies, it would definitely send their cult to a higher level!
At that moment, Old Dragon brought Cultivator Junjun to the edge of the border. There was a radiant glow around them, lightning moved everywhere, and it was sealed incredibly tightly.
Feeling the shocking sword intent behind them, Old Dragon still remained calm. Even though the branch could destroy any law it touched, there was no way for it to withstand a sword. However, he naturally had other preparations.
With a wave of his arm, a green turtle shell appeared. It suddenly grew, turning into a massive shield that protected the two of them.
Boom!
The sword slashed on the turtle shell, and the shell merely shook, but did not break.
“A turtle shell managed to block the Sword Dao of Emperor Lingyun?”
“That bastard has a lot of good treasures!”
“We have to capture him!”
The expressions of the black robed old man and the white haired old man turned serious. In a flash, they arrived next to the shell. They then used their immense powers to suppress it!
At the same time, the Corpse Emperor arrived as well. With a roar, it sent a punch right at the shell!
That punch was enough to destroy a small world!
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared on the turtle shell!
However, that was already very unbelievable. It was an attack from three Heavenly Stage Deities. The fact that the shell could even strike one was enough to shock anyone.
At that moment, another Corpse Emperor had been released, and was hurrying over with a ferocious expression!
Inside the shell.
Cultivator Junjun looked at the shell, and could not help but ask curiously, “Senior Dragon, what is this shell?”
Old Dragon said, “I bathe with the turtle in the expert’s backyard every day, it’s quite natural for him to give me a shell.”
Cultivator Junjun nodded, then he looked at the branch in Old Dragon’s hand. “Then this branch?”
Old Dragon said, “This tree grows next to the lake, isn’t it natural for me to take some?”
Cultivator Junjun could not help but look incredibly envious.
Being able to be by the expert’s side really was amazing. Something he could just casually take was already a priceless treasure.
Only…
“Sigh.”
Cultivator Junjun sighed, “We probably won’t be able to get out of here.”
The border had been sealed shut, and the shell would not last much longer. There were so many deities outside that could kill him in an instant.
“Stupid child, breaking borders is a basic ability of the spiritual roots in the expert’s backyard, it’s just that we’ll have to pay a small price this time.”
Old Dragon looked at the branch ruefully, raising his hand and wiping against it.
Suddenly, that incredibly ordinary branch was enveloped by a radiant glow. After that, Old dragon cast a spell, pointing at the border in front of them.
The branch floated into the air, slowly landing on the border.
It was surrounded by unlimited light and lightning. After that, it started to dissolve.
As it dissolved, the border seemed to dissolve as well, slowly revealing a door.
Cultivator Junjun was ecstatic, he said excitedly, “That’s amazing, Senior Dragon, let’s go!”
Yet, Old Dragon did not move, and suddenly said sombrely, “You go.”
Cultivator Junjun was stunned.
At that moment, Nuwa and the others, who were standing guard outside, came in as well. They had concerned expressions, asking what had happened.
“It’s alright, don’t waste time, you need to escape quickly!”
Old Dragon seriously looked at them, saying, “The opponents are too strong. It’s not practical for us to escape together. I have to stay behind!”
Cultivator Junjun’s eyes reddened as he shouted, “Senior Dragon!”
Old Dragon raised his hand, throwing Cultivator Junjun out as he said righteously, “Go, don’t bother with me, all of you must go!”
Nuwa and the others might not know what was happening, but they still felt a sense of respect as they shouted, “Senior Dragon!”
At that moment, the border had already begun to reseal itself.
Old Dragon looked at them with a comforted look, “Run now, don’t let my sacrifice be in vain! Goodbye, my fellow cultivators!”
“No!”
Cultivator Junjun sobbed, his entire body trembled as he cried, even his power was in a mess.
Jade Emperor immediately went to help him, consoling him. “Cultivator Junjun, calm down. What happened?”
Cultivator Junjun sobbed as he thumped his chest, saying sadly, “Old dragon is a good teammate, he is the best teammate! We misunderstood him before, he’s not sleazy at all! He’s a hero! Boohoo…”
Yang Jian said, “No matter what, we have to listen to Old Dragon and leave this place for now.”
Cultivator Junjun said, “No, I won’t leave. Let me go. I want to die with Old Dragon. I, Cultivator Junjun, will never betray a teammate!”
The others were helpless, and could only forcibly pull Cultivator Junjun, who was sobbing uncontrollably, away, rapidly leaving that forsaken place.
On the way, as they listened to Cultivator Junjun’s accounts of what had happened, everyone had a complicated expression on their faces, and their eyes were full of regret.
“I can’t believe Old Dragon would do that, we really didn’t understand him before!”
“How will we tell Dragin what happened when we go back? How will we tell the experts?!”
“Senior Old Dragon, I’m sorry, you’re not sleazy at all!”
At the same time.
In the corpse world.
Old Dragon smiled. “This way, my clone’s death will be more worth it. At least it won’t be as wasteful.
“However, no matter what, I can’t let it die in vain, I’ll get whatever value I can out of it!”
“Boom!”
At that moment, the turtle shell exploded.
The two Corpse Emperors let out a bloodthirsty roar.
The black robed old man and the white haired old man looked at Old Dragon with cold eyes as they frowned. “Why is there only one person left?”
“You’re done! Why don’t you just kneel down and surrender?!”
“Surrender?”
Old Dragon smiled coldly, not panicking at all he coldly said, “I’ll reveal my cards! I’m someone from the Ministry, do you dare to touch me?”
After that, he wiped on his face, turning into the South Shadow Guard that he had killed, saying, “This is my true form. If you don’t want to die, hurry up and kowtow right now and beg for my forgiveness.”
The white haired old man laughed, “You don’t know your place! In my world, no one can do as they please!”
“Stop listening to his nonsense, seize him!”
The black robed old man reached out at Old Dragon.
However, Old Dragon disappeared in a flash, and headed straight for one of the ancient temples!
“You won’t escape!”
The two old men reached out at the same time, slashing right at Old Dragon.
The space around Old Dragon suddenly solidified, the will of the Heavenly Realm pressed down on him, and an unending law formed into the power of wind, fire, lightning and other effects, as if they were trying to refine him!
“Roar!”
With an angry roar, Old Dragon’s body radiated a golden glow, and his entire body blurred as he turned into a golden dragon. The golden dragon roared in the air, carving a path for Old Dragon.
“Ugh!”
Old Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not slow down at all as he went right into the ancient temple.
He immediately rushed to the bronze coffin at the deepest parts!
His clone could no longer be saved anyway, so he might as well check if the Soul Master was really in the copper coffin.
“Courting death!”
The black robed elder rushed over, his face dark as he let out an angry cry, sending a palm at Old Dragon!
Boom boom boom!
With his anger, the strike of the palm overflowed with wind, and caused the earth to shake, leaving cracks everywhere, and the ancient temple even burst in the explosion!
However, the environment around the area had already been strengthened through special laws, and were even more durable than the environment within the Area of the Gods. Otherwise, everything would have been reduced to dust.
Around the imprint of the palm, there was movement under the ground, and the cracked repaired themselves.
Old Dragon did not even have the time to put up a defense, and the horrifying pressure pushed down on him, causing his body to start to crack.
The golden dragon had already started to disappear from the tail onwards.
At that moment, Old Dragon was already in front of the coffin. His body was already starting to be destroyed, and one arm and one leg had already disappeared.
He reached out with his remaining arm, and pushed on the copper coffin!
He wanted to open it up.
Boom!
A destructive power surged up, and the world of corpses fell into darkness. An unending and horrifying amount of death energy surged out from the coffin, containing the power of Wisdom!
The power surged out and completely annihilated what remained of Old Dragon’s body!
