It was the day of Xue Tong’s execution and the front yard of the imperial palace was crowded with people. All of the spectators were staring at the youth who was tied up with thick metal chains. His face was badly bruised and he did not look to be in good shape with his incredibly pale face and bedraggled appearance.
Standing behind Xue Tong was Emperor Elyk and an old man with a sage-like appearance. They were looking at everyone below the platform with dignified expressions.
“Standing before you is the young master of a rebel clan, Xue Tong of the Xue Family! The Xue Family sought the help of an insidiously evil sect just to claim the throne for themselves, but we were lucky that we received help at the time of their rebellion! Some of you might know who I am referring to, but we won’t be talking about them!” Emperor Elyk shouted with a cold look as he scanned the crowd with a penetrating gaze.
“Today, everyone will see the execution of this rebel! And his death will serve as a warning to all our enemies that our Silver Wing Empire is not to be provoked!” Emperor Elyk paused and took out his Silver Wing Sword before he walked in front of Xue Tong.
“I, Elyk Silveria III, emperor of the Silver Wing Empire, sentence you to death for rebelling against the authority of the Silveria Imperial Family!” Emperor Elyk announced with an icy tone as he stared at Xue Tong who was tightly bound in chains.
Xue Tong slowly raised his head and stared back at the emperor without a hint of fear in his eyes.
“Hahaha! Old Fart Elyk, go ahead and fucking kill me already! I will wait for you in hell m!” Xue Tong laughed in a crazed manner as he tried to break away from his chains.
Despite knowing his imminent execution, Xue Tong still has his unruly and unbendable personality. He might have come from a rebel family, but he never caved in from all the tortures done to him.
“Any last words, Rebel Xue Tong?” Emperor Elyk asked as he adjusted his posture.
Xue Tong suddenly erupted into peals of creepy laughter. After his laughter died down, he shouted in a loud and evil voice.
“Soul Sacrifice! Summon Undead King!”
A black gate coffin suddenly emerged in front of Xue Tong and sucked his soul out of his physical body. After this process, his physical body slowly dried up like a decayed corpse before it turned into dust.
Everything happened in an instant that Emperor Elyk and his father failed to realize this final moment of insanity from a dying devil! He actually sacrificed his soul to summon an undead king! This was an evil technique and even among those who cultivate corpse qi, this was still considered as a forbidden technique! This technique summons an undead king in exchange for one’s soul, and the sacrificed soul would never be able to reincarnate again.
A dark and menacing aura enveloped the entirety of the imperial palace, but everyone could even move their bodies because of the terrifying might and suppression brought by this evil aura!
“What the hell is that thing!?” Someone exclaimed in terror as he pointed at the black coffin suspended in midair.
The black coffin’s lid was half opened and a thin and decayed arm can be seen extending out from the coffin.
“A soul filled with malice and hate! Delicious! Kekeke!” A chilling voice drifted out from the coffin, making everyone feel extremely terrified.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The black coffin’s lid slowly opened.
A decayed corpse wearing loose black robes. Its eye sockets were empty, but two dark embers flashed within them. This decayed corpse was two meters tall and it was holding a rusted scythe in its hands. The rusted scythe that it held looked incredibly menacing and insidious with its crescent-shaped blade and sharp edges.
“Elyk, protect the citizens! I’ll hold back this guy!” The emperor’s father shouted in a commanding tone as he hovered in front of the black coffin. The old man stared at the creature inside the coffin with a wary expression.
Emperor Elyk nodded his head solemnly before he went to help everyone escape from the scene. They would only become a liability if they continue to remain in this place.
The old man could sense a dreadful power being emitted by this decayed corpse, but it was not to the extent that he felt powerless in front of it.
“I never thought that the brat from the Xue Family actually knows this kind of evil technique. He even sacrificed his chance to reincarnate just to summon this evil thing.” The old man muttered in a cold tone.
“Kekeke! How many years has it been? I have finally awakened from my deep slumber! Kekeke!” The creature inside the coffin jumped out and cackled in a malicious manner. Its voice sounded terrifyingly creepy and high-pitched.
It then stared at the old man in front of it and spoke in a slightly surprised tone. “To think that this world actually gave birth to a Nascent God Realm expert after that war. Kekeke! Not bad! Not bad at all! Kekeke!”
The old man frowned when he heard its words. This creature seemed knowledgeable and based on its words, it must have come from the time of war fifty thousand years ago.
“You do have a bit of knowledge for a dead person. Oh wait, are you even human? Hahaha!” The old man laughed in contempt as he pointed at the decayed corpse.
“Kekeke! What a funny old man you are! I’m not someone from an inferior race like you! I am an undead king!” The creature laughed in a high-pitch voice that could make anyone feel a stinging sensation in their ears.
“Enough nonsense! Take my sword!” The old man said as he pulled out a sword from his space ring.
“I like your attitude, old man! I will make you my servant after I kill you! Kekeke!” The creature said as it raised its rusted scythe.
