He rose instantly, the imperial aura around him transforming into countless long swords covered in golden dragon scales. A third of the grand hall was enveloped by these golden swords.
"Kill!"
Under Nan Tianxun's control, the endless long swords slashed down towards Qi Jiguan. All of them emitted piercing sonic booms, imbued with his entire imperial aura, as if capable of cleaving the heavens and earth.
With a deafening roar, Qi Jiguan thrust out a punch. The immensely powerful storm once again annihilated hundreds of beings. Horrific shockwaves rippled outwards, and in mere moments, hundreds more perished as countless long swords shattered.
With a thud, sword energy flew everywhere. Nan Tianxun's crown fell, his hair unbound. His entire body slammed heavily against a wall, and the divine-grade immortal sword in his hand disintegrated.
It was during these frequent bombardments that the dragon blood bead on the forehead of the man on the dragon throne fell. Upon hitting the ground, it shattered like a glass ball, releasing wisps of black energy into the hall.
"That dragon blood bead!!"
Numerous beings were quickly drawn to the black energy. How could such a powerful emperor-grade immortal treasure be so easily shattered? In the minds of the beings within the hall, there was only one possibility: this immortal treasure had been rendered useless, and the immense battle merely caused the last vestiges of its power to dissipate.
Qi Jiguan did not continue his assault on Nan Tianxun. Nan Tianxun still held an emperor-grade immortal treasure, so there was no need to deliver a killing blow. Otherwise, Nan Tianxun might become desperate and unleash the emperor-grade immortal treasure.
With a creak,
After several breaths, the dragon-head throne suddenly vibrated. It rotated ninety degrees from left to right, revealing a narrow passage. Within, immortal energy was dense, and five-colored auspicious light radiated outwards.
"Go!"
Di Xinyuan grabbed Zi Lanxin and rushed into the passage. Huan Bu followed closely behind, and immediately, the forces of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty also moved to enter.
"Go!"
As soon as Qi Jiguan spoke, he charged into the passage. Soon, within a few breaths, all the beings in the hall had entered.
After traversing a very long passage, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a vast square to the sight of the beings. At the far end of their vision stood a figure. As the beings stepped onto the square, their hearts trembled upon seeing the indistinct figure, a profoundly eerie sensation enveloping all their minds.
With a crackling sound,
The sound of bones grinding suddenly echoed. The neck of the figure at the far end moved. At this moment, that figure instantly appeared in the center of the square. There was no fluctuation of immortal energy, nor any flow of life force. The figure was incredibly imposing, clad in a black robe, its back to the beings entering the square.
"This..."
Qi Jiguan's body was instantly suppressed. He could not even move a finger, as if the entire space had been locked down the moment the figure stood in the center of the square.
Qi Jiguan, Li Bai, and all the beings who entered the square began to tremble, breaking out in cold sweats. It was as if the body facing away from them was the master of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, standing high above, demanding obeisance from all things!
Boom!
Dong Tai knelt down... Zhuang Zhuo knelt down... In the blink of an eye, except for Li Bai and Qi Jiguan, the beings who entered the square could not control themselves and fearfully fell to their knees.
In Li Bai's arms was a diagram enveloped in light. It was this diagram that separated them from the powerful pressure, a pressure like that of a sovereign.
With a crackle,
The figure in black turned around. Its appearance was that of a dragon's eyebrows and a phoenix's eyes, with a slightly plump face. A single glance felt as if the heavens and earth were coming to an end!
Its lips were black and purple, its blood essence withered, and its eyes, devoid of divine consciousness, all indicated to the beings present that this was a corpse.
The skin not covered by its clothes bore dark spots in places. White hairs, moved by the air, drifted slightly. Death energy! A dense wave of death energy washed over them, turning their faces ashen.
"It's... it's an Emperor Corpse!"
"That's the corpse of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor!!"
Xia Hou Ni Yun cried out in shock, her face pale and bloodless. Her pupils contracted severely. Everyone had come to search for this emperor corpse, but upon actually seeing it, they were all filled with terror, as if a great catastrophe had descended.
"Dragon Burial... Immortal Emperor!!"
Nan Tianxun, covered in a cold sweat of terror, trembled as he looked at the standing figure. Even as a descendant and heir of an Immortal Emperor, and a ruler of one domain, upon seeing this emperor corpse, all his glory was rendered insignificant. His heavy knees felt as if they were glued to the ground, unable to move.
Immortal Emperor!
The supreme existence in the immortal realm!
Possessing unfathomable power, capable of obliterating vast nine realms into dust scattering in the wind with a mere flick of a finger. The Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor before them was exceptionally powerful. Even the founder of the Six Fires Sect and the founder of the Nan Tian Immortal Dynasty were not worthy of carrying his shoes. This was an existence that had walked out of the ancient star road alive and controlled eighteen emperor destinies.
Even though he had been suppressed and killed by powerful enemies, his imperial might erased, and his blood essence abolished, he was merely an empty shell. Yet, he was still an emperor corpse nourished by imperial blood, and still immensely powerful!
To control him was far more terrifying than controlling over a dozen emperor-grade immortal treasures!
"Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor!"
"The one who controlled eighteen emperor destinies!"
Lao Fuzi looked at the motionless body in dread. This was a powerful Immortal Emperor who had roamed the冥海 era. When he glanced beside him, he was even more shocked, more terrified than seeing the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor.
Li Bai and Qi Jiguan from the Great Han Immortal Dynasty were unharmed, standing beside him as if nothing had happened. This was an emperor corpse, an emperor corpse that controlled eighteen emperor destinies. Even Immortal Sovereign level cultivators would prostrate themselves on the ground. To resist the majesty of an emperor corpse, perhaps only quasi-emperor realm beings could do so. Li Bai and Qi Jiguan were merely Golden Immortals. How had they managed to face the emperor corpse without changing their expressions?
"Emperor corpse, emperor corpse, this is the emperor corpse of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor, a powerful emperor corpse preserved for two eras." Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor!"
Li Bai and Qi Jiguan wanted to focus their gaze, to observe the emperor corpse closely. However, the more they concentrated, the more it became blurred. Qi Jiguan looked at the diagram in Li Bai's arms. If not for the Li Yuanba diagram bestowed by the Emperor, they too would have offered their knees and bowed before this emperor corpse today.
