“Brother-in-law, help!” Li Feng Yu’s face was full of blood, unsure whether it from beating just now, or from being shocked by the wave.
As expected, so long as he lived, he’d keep on acting cheap.
“Hahahaha, what the heck were you guys doing, looking so tragic?” The rabbit appeared with a “carrot” in its mouth… Who knew whether it was found or stolen from somewhere.
With so much chaos, it could obviously feel it, running over to watch the fun.
“No kidding, two great Shattering Void Tier elites battling, can’t you see for yourself?” Ling Han said in a foul tone.
“Yo, this little girl’s not bad, just right to be Uncle Rabbit’s servant girl.” The rabbit stared at Azure Phoenix Divine Empress while gnawing on the spirit medicine, its ruffian character fully displayed.
Ling Han sighed, and said, “Li Big Mouth, you’ve met a kindred spirit, come, become sworn brothers with the rabbit.”
“Tsk, what’s Uncle Rabbit identity, Uncle Rabbit wouldn’t even be pleased if this brat was a distant eighteenth generation grandson.” Uncle Rabbit disparaged Li Feng Yun as being worthless.
Li Feng Yu wasn’t irritated, and simply said to Hu Niu, “Lord Hu Niu, let’s eat rabbit meat?”
“Alright!” Hu Niu instantly beamed with joy. Her fierce eyes targeted the rabbit’s buttocks, her small mouth broadened, and saliva already drooled out.
The rabbit instinctively covered its butt, and said, “Damn brat, dare instigate this little girl again! Be careful Uncle Rabbit will step on your golden face!”
Ling Han grabbed Hu Niu and didn’t let them cause a disturbance at this moment, and said, “Come, come, come, carry a few rocks over. We’re watching the show here. It should be safe at this distance.”
His gaze swept by, and seeing the Rain Emperor and Mu Rong Qing, he naturally felt relieved.
Azure Divine Phoenix Empress and the Nine-eyed Corpse King battled fiercely. This was the strongest battle at the Shattering Void Tier, something even Ling Han had never seen in the previous life, so it wasn’t to be missed.
Earlier, Feng Po Yun also showed his hand at Million Treasures City, but with the Fourth Killing Formation’s impediment, no one could see the specifics of the battle. However, it was different now. The Nine-eyed Corpse King was over three hundred meters tall, and could be clearly seen anywhere.
Ling Han also cultivated the Eye of Truth, and obviously saw it even clearer.
Azure Phoenix Divine Empress was truly strong, a consummate Shattering Void Tier elite. In this world, she could be said to be unstoppable, and on top of the tenth-tier Spirit Tool in her hand, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword, her destructive power was incapable of further increase.
Even though the corpses on the Nine-eyed Corpse King’s body were once in the Heaven Tier, even some others were in the Shattering Void Tier, deep sword marks appeared on them with a sword strike. It was just that the Nine-eyed Corpse King’s body was just too colossal, and being slashed by a sword was like a normal person being cut by a nail clipper, suffering a tiny injury.
The Corpse King wasn’t a normal Corpse Soldier. Such an existence already formed its own consciousness as if a new life was bred, becoming a new species in the world. It wasn’t in pain, yet it went into a violent rage. The corpses all over its body raised their heads to roar in anger, and the sound waves turned into a gigantic spear, held by the Nine-eyed Corpse King, piercing at Azure Phoenix Divine Empress.
“Evil creature, leave your head!” Azure Phoenix Divine Empress shouted as Heavenly Phoenix Sword struck out a Sword Ray over three hundred meters long, looking terrifyingly shocking.
The Nine-eyed Corpse King roared violently repeatedly. Its physique was too tough under the blessing of vein-like patterns—it was no inferior to tenth-tier rare metal. If it weren’t for Azure Divine Phoenix Empress using a tenth-tier Spirit Tool to strike it, and her condensing of a Sword Ray, she really might not have been able to deal with its defense.
It waved its two arms and closed them towards the middle, trying to clap Azure Phoenix Divine Empress to death.
Pa!
The two large palms closed and let out a heaven-shaking great bang. Ninety-nine percent of the people nearby bled from the seven apertures, being too horrible a sight to look at, while some were even knocked right out with this great bang.
Azure Phoenix Divine Empress was actually clapped to death like this?
Hong!
A raging azure flame burst forth from the skeletal palms and turned into a sky full of flames brighter than the sun.
The Nine-eyed Corpse King bawled and hurriedly retracted its hands. Azure Divine Phoenix Empress could be seen standing loftily in the skies, and her entire body burned with azure-colored divine flames, forming a fiery tail piece over three thousand meters long. It made her looking even more beautiful and alluring.
“This woman isn’t a pure human. Uncle Rabbit can sense a shred of True Phoenix Bloodline in her body,” the rabbit said while gnawing on a spirit medicine. “However, compared to Uncle Rabbit’s pure bloodline, she’s far off! As expected, she’s more suited to become Uncle Rabbit’s servant girl.”
True Phoenix Bloodline!
Chapter 667 - The Tenth Eye!
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
True Phoenix!
In the legends, True Phoenixes were on par with True Dragons, and True Dragons were the strongest of divine beasts. Nine Dragons Tyrant Body Art, which Ling Han cultivated, used nine dragons as a power standard, and it was precisely because the power of dragons was the strongest.
Divine beasts, blessed by heaven, didn’t need to cultivate at all. At maturity, they possessed terrifying strength, and the power of True Dragons could even shatter the firmament, breaking open the universe, and it became god realm’s measurement standard for power.
Of course, martial artists cultivating could still surpass the power of nine dragons, or else there wouldn’t be the saying of the power of nine dragons.
But here, the power of True Dragons and True Phoenixes was definitely the limit of the extreme. If Azure Phoenix Divine Empress could truly possess the complete power of a True Phoenix, then with an arbitrary slap, this Corpse King would disperse into a pile of bones again.
The five great sects were all based on inheritance from the divine plane, like how Zi Xue Xian was a descendant of a great race related to thunder there, being extremely powerful. Thus, since Azure Phoenix Divine Empress was also extremely likely to be a descendant from the god realm, possessing a shred of True Phoenix Bloodline wasn’t anything strange.
The Nine-eyed Corpse King actually revealed a fearful look. For Corpse Soldiers that weren’t afraid of death and didn’t know pain, this was an incredible thing.
That was also because the Nine-eyed Corpse King’s level was too high, deriving its own consciousness, so it knew how to measure the situation it was in.
However, brutality was all that was in Corpse Soldiers after all. It soon suppressed the fear in its heart, and with a loud roar, qiang, qiang, qiang , bone spikes grew out from all over its body. Each spike was over thirty meters long, making it look like a hedgehog.
The Corpse King charged at Azure Phoenix Divine Empress again. Each bone spike had gray-colored vein-like patterns that lit up, emitting a presence of despair.
Ling Han turned pale with shock, and said, “Not good!”
The thing that Zhu Xuan Er and the others feared the most now was hearing Ling Han say “not good”. Each time he said “not good”, something not good would definitely happen.
“Brother-in-law, can’t you not say ‘not good’?” Li Feng Yu said, shivering.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “This Corpse King has just awakened, opening nine eyes simultaneously earlier, and now it grew out bone spikes. I assume it’s still in the process of fusing with those corpses, and hasn’t reached its complete form.”
Qin Lian Yue turned pale with fright, and said, “You’re saying that
after it completes the fusion, it’ll become… even stronger?!”
“Inevitably.” Ling Han sighed.
Hiss!
Now, Azure Phoenix Divine Empress was only tied in battle with the Nine-eyed Corpse King. If this Corpse King became even stronger, wouldn’t it mean that even Azure Phoenix Divine Empress be unable to suppress it? Seeing this Corpse King’s appearance, it seemed like it could fuse with more corpses, and if Azure Phoenix Divine Empress was killed and her corpse absorbed as well, then how powerful would it become?
It would probably break through the Shattering Void Tier’s limit and cross into the God Tier.
Everyone’s hands and feet turned cold. If it really turned out so, no place in the entire world would be pure. All would be killed off completely by this Corpse King as it devoured flesh and blood and fused with skeletal remains, evolving into the strongest Corpse Soldier in history.
Ling Han even thought of how this had to do with Thousand Corpse Sect.
This should be an ancient battlefield. The experts from the five sects of god realm descended and fought the ultimate battle here against rebels, and the final end was obviously burying the prosperous martial arts age ten thousand years ago.
The Thousand Corpse Sect was also a great sect in the god realm, certainly having means to escape the refinement of the Pill Realm in the end, so they could secretly tamper with the corpses which should’ve rotted here, turning them into Corpse Soldiers.
With the five great sects keeping watch, they also didn’t dare to act brazenly, and could only do things slowly, resulting in the creation of this monster.
… Probably. Ling Han couldn’t be sure, but he could conclude that this definitely had to do with the Thousand Corpse Sect.
After growing out bone spikes, the Corpse King’s battle prowess increased drastically. Each bone spike was equivalent to a heavenly spear, covered in vein-like patterns, and could even pose a great threat to Shattering Void Tier elites.
Even Azure Phoenix Divine Empress didn’t dare to oppose it directly, and kept moving around to dodge the sharp edges. After all, her physique couldn’t be compared to the Corpse King’s. However, she didn’t dodge randomly, and constantly counterattacked with the long sword, unleashing shocking Sword Rays.
Moreover, her tailpiece was also completely formed by flames, and as it whisked, it also created considerable disturbance for the Corpse King. That was definitely no ordinary fire, its destructive power shocking, and it left burnt marks on the Corpse King’s body when sweeping past it, burning the skeletons into ash.
In the short term, the two elites were evenly matched.
Nevertheless, it was just as Ling Han had said, this Corpse King was actually like an infant that was just born. At the start, it only had pure instincts, which was its natural tendency to kill, so it’d been moving based on its instincts.
However, as the battle progressed, it understood how to use power, and also seemed to grow, becoming more and more terrifying.
This change was extremely evident.
The skeletal corpses on its body were in the process of fusion, and the bones coalescing looked as if they weren’t hard bones, but instead made of sand. In the process of the fusion, the Corpse King’s body also shrank slowly, but its power was increasing.
Ling Han shivered within, and said, “Earlier, it was ten thousand Corpse Soldiers attacking together, but now it’s a thousand, then to one hundred, and lastly just one will be remaining.”
Everyone was smart and immediately understood.
The decreasing amount wasn’t a good thing, and on the contrary, this was the worst of the worst outcome possible.
No matter how ten thousand people worked as one, could the power they unleashed reach the layering of ten thousand shares of power? Definitely not. However, with one thousand people, and each person’s power multiplied by ten, attacking jointly… whose power would you say was stronger?
Not to mention one hundred people, ten people, or when one was remaining, if the power was multiplied by ten thousand, then that would completely equal the power of ten thousand people, not being a single bit reduced.
The Corpse King was in the process of advancing in this direction.
Azure Phoenix Divine Empress evidently also saw it, for her sword strikes became more rushed. Pu, pu, pu , Sword Rays slashed on the Corpse King’s body and kept sweeping away broken bones, but with the Corpse King’s colossal body, this was no big deal at all.
Moreover, as its body shrunk, the Corpse King’s power became stronger, and the defensive area still continued to shrink.
This wasn’t delightful news.
After half a day, the Corpse King’s body already shrunk by half, and was only over one hundred fifty meters tall. The crimson light in its eyes was fiercer by more than one-fold; looking at it could bring pain in one’s heart to the point of bursting.
Pa!
The Corpse King’s movements halted as another eye actually grew out from its forehead.
A tenth eye!
Nine eyes was the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier, so what about ten eyes?
It definitely couldn’t reach the God Tier, but its battle prowess increased by at least one star!
The battle prowess of the Shattering Void Tier elites was extremely terrifying to begin with, and to increase their battle prowess by one star was as hard as climbing the skies. Now, the Corpse King fused its body even further, and finally obtained a qualitative change. The aura over its entire body grew explosively, hong , and the entire Ghost Lock Ravine collapsed.
The Corpse King attacked again. Its bone spikes were heaven-shocking, collapsing stars in the sky, just as if world was ending.
Azure Phoenix Divine Empress finally revealed a cautious look, reaching out with her hand to swipe the Heavenly Phoenix Sword, and said, “Open!”
Weng , the vein-like patterns on Heavenly Phoenix Sword lit up again, and was several hundred times more powerful. A giant colorful phoenix flew out from the blade as if a divine spirit descending to earth, emitting endless divine might.
Tool spirit! A tenth-tier tool spirit!
Chapter 668 - The Ninth Underworld King Appears
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Henyee
Ling Han felt a familiar presence.
This was Heavenly Phoenix Divine maiden. He’d been tormented by her countless times in the previous life, resulting in him being extremely sensitive towards this kind of aura. In the later periods, he could sense it when Heavenly Divine Phoenix Maiden hadn’t even approached in a five-kilometer radius, and would immediately take to his heels.
Now, Ling Han was left with endless yearning.
Heavenly Phoenix appeared, and with a sharp cry, charged the Corpse King.
This Heavenly Phoenix was at least 350 meters long, and with its wings spread, it even reached 660 meters in width; in front of it, the Corpse King immediately became similar to a kid. Its speed was too fast, and with a flutter of its wings, it dove before the Corpse King. Without any mystic arts, it just tore with its claws and pecked with its beak, yet caused terrifying destruction.
The Corpse King roared angrily, but was totally suppressed by the Heavenly Phoenix. Its entire body fell towards the ground and reached out with both hands to push the Heavenly Phoenix, but its hands were burnt black.
Such a terrifying Spirit Tool!
Ling Han compared it to Demon Birth Sword, and instantly felt that Demon Birth Sword was pathetically weak. However, he’d never fully unleashed Demon Birth Sword’s true might, and for it to become a tenth-tier Spirit Tool, how could it be ordinary?
His tier was too low, after all.
Xiu!
At this moment, a flash of saber light swept by. It was undoubtedly light, yet it was extremely dark as if gloomier than the dark night, emitting the presence of death.
This saber strike was going straight for the Heavenly Phoenix!
“You dare!” Azure Phoenix Divine Empress moved with her sword, and ar
rived before the saber light in a flash. With a slash of her sword, her attack turned out to be a 300 meters long Sword Ray.
Peng!
A heavy bang resonated, and everyone’s ears instantly went deaf. Completely unable to hear sounds, the entire world seemed to become extremely quiet, and only the Corpse King and the Heavenly Phoenix were carrying out a soundless fight.
“Divine Empress, long time no see.” A faint voice came from afar. It was gentle and soft, yet filled with a ghastly cold presence as if coming from the underworld itself.
“Ninth! Underworld! King!” Azure Phoenix Divine Empress said word by word. A chilling glare burst within her eyes, and her aura immediately increased by several folds.
Ling Han was shocked. This was Azure Divine Phoenix Empress’s true strength? Earlier, she had been just playing around with the Corpse King?
Who was the Ninth Underworld King?
Far away, that voice went on, “This lord came here only to take what this sect has left here several thousand years ago. Why must Divine Empress act as if a confronted by a formidable enemy?”
“Hmph, you even dared to scheme for this place. Is the Thousand Corpse Sect inviting its own destruction?” Azure Phoenix Divine Empress said in an icy tone.
Ling Han instantly realized that this Ninth Underworld King was Thousand Corpse Sect’s sect master, or else he definitely wouldn’t have the right to converse with Heavenly Divine Phoenix Empress and make Azure Phoenix Divine Empress intentionally hold back, waiting for the appearance of the Ninth Underworld King.
“You guys eat meat, so can’t you give this sect some soup to drink?” Ninth Underworld King said indifferently, appearing extremely calm. However, his voice was truly horrifying, just as if it were coming from the underworld, and hearing it would make one’s soul freeze.
“Since the ancient times, good and evil have been incompatible, and annihilating you all is our responsibility!” Azure phoenix Divine Maiden determinedly.
“Good!” In the surrounding, all the geniuses that participated in the exam raised their arms and called out in support. The Thousand Corpse Sect was a target of scorn, which everyone called out to kill!
