Chapter 1772

Second senior brother, should we go help? Bai Zhongsheng is dead, and we will soon become the old ancestor's sacrifice.

Neither of them can defeat the other; it's best if they both suffer heavy losses. The old ancestor is too strong; he has calculated everything. I'm afraid we corpse generals will also be treated as sacrifices by him. Red-Eye Corpse General sent a mental transmission to the Second Corpse General. The grim sight of White-Forehead Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng made him feel terrible; seeing their fate on him, if they just stand by, it might soon be their turn.

By then, no one will help.

The Golden-Armored Corpse suggested, "Why don't we act, break the Soul-Refining Banner's devouring, let Bai Zhongsheng free himself from the bonds, and he will naturally find a way to kill the old ancestor."

"No matter which of them wins, they won't spare us; it's best to let them both perish together."

The Second Corpse General frowned tightly, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhongsheng, whose body and soul were being torn apart by countless vengeful spirits of the Soul-Refining Banner. If this continues, within a quarter hour Bai Zhongsheng will be torn to death alive—a truly miserable death.

More terrifying and agonizing than death by a thousand cuts, the Second Corpse General clenched his fists. He also knew Bai Zhongsheng must not die too quickly, otherwise the three of them would soon be made into sacrifices, eventually offered to the Corpse-Producing Lotus.

Whether it's the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable or the White-Forehead Corpse King, in their hearts they do not regard us as friends or comrades; we are merely sacrifices, and that is our fate.

Helping anyone won't work; no one can instantly become a Strong One, unless...

"Even if we went over, we couldn't help Bai Zhongsheng; the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable, the old ancestor, is too strong. I'm afraid we'd be discovered before we could act, and then we'd have no way out." The Second Corpse General worried.

It's not that he refuses to go help; going over would just be suicide. We're too weak—below the Tribulation Realm, going over would be pure suicide, with no chance at all.

Such a foolish act, the Second Corpse General won't do it, but what the two said makes perfect sense. If we just stand by and Bai Zhongsheng dies, it will soon be our turn; none of us can avoid it, none can escape.

The threat of death leaves him unsure how to choose.

"Second senior brother, if we don't act now, there will be no chance. Only Bai Zhongsheng can resist the old ancestor; we are no match for him." The Red-Eye Corpse General urged, knowing full well that if we don't act, after Bai Zhongsheng dies, rebelling will be unlikely.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng wish they were all killed, mutually slaughtering each other until only one remains; then they would naturally step in to clean up, letting them fight among themselves so they could reap the benefits.

"Forget it, we'll act immediately—I'll hold off the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable, you rescue Bai Zhongsheng." The Second Corpse General, Feng Luoyue, gritted his teeth and resolved.

"Good."

"Hurry up and act."

The three reached a consensus, and just as they were about to act, the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable looked at them; that gaze made their bodies tremble instantly, as if their innermost thoughts were laid bare—nothing could be hidden, and they could not move.

They all froze, not daring to move, and the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable said, "You three want to save him?"

The voice sounded, icy and merciless, causing the three to instantly halt their actions, not daring to move.

"Gurgle." The three simultaneously choked up; that gaze was truly terrifying. At this moment, if they dared to act, they would surely be killed on the spot. The Soul-Refining Banner still trembled, countless vengeful spirits stared at them; as soon as the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable gave an order, those spirits would surely rush at them and tear them apart alive.

The three certainly didn't want to end up like Bai Zhongsheng, becoming food for those vengeful spirits, yet they could not refrain from acting.

"You can try; this old ancestor guarantees you'll regret it."

His icy eyes fixed on the three, making them dare not even breathe, let alone act.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng exchanged a glance, watching this scene, hoping they would fight, preferably to the death, so they could then step in to clean up the aftermath. Unexpectedly, the three Second Corpse Generals wavered; it's not their fault—strength decides everything.

The three fell silent, not daring to act; their thoughts and movements were all seen through.

The Wu Tian Corpse Venerable stood above, holding the Wu Tian Gate in his hand, while the Soul-Refining Banner hovered in the sky. Two sacrificial Spiritual Artifacts floated, boundless vengeful spirits and corpse energy continually spread, filling the entire cave heaven. The White-Forehead Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng's Three Tribulations aura erupted; those vengeful spirits devoured his flesh and soul, then began to explode.

The power of the Tribulation aura left those vengeful spirits unable to digest or withstand it.

"Bang bang bang."

The explosion sounds continued nonstop; Bai Zhongsheng's body kept condensing, being torn apart, then condensing again, repeating the process.

The Three Tribulations Spirit Disk turned; each rotation weakened the surrounding corpse energy by a fraction, and those vengeful spirits rapidly dwindled in number, greatly reduced. Each decrease made the spirits fearful; even those that had been fearless halted their movements, daring not to continue tearing at Bai Zhongsheng's flesh and soul.

The Wu Tian Corpse Venerable didn't care about these; he let them keep tearing and devouring, merely wasting some vengeful spirits—nothing significant.

Bai Zhongsheng's soul is what matters most; devouring him and then retaking the Three Tribulations Spirit Disk would let him control everything, including the Three Tribulations Corpse-Refining Grand Formation, enabling him to target the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng. Otherwise, relying on his current state, he cannot oppose the two.

Devouring Bai Zhongsheng to replenish himself; ideally he would also consume other corpse generals, and if he could obtain the Corpse-Producing Lotus, that would be even better.

Everyone present is his sacrifice.

Step by step, starting with the weak, he would strengthen himself, then gradually devour others, making them his sacrifices, sacrifices to the Corpse-Producing Lotus; the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable had planned this from the beginning.

"Ahhh, Wu Tian Corpse Venerable, you deserve to die; even if I die, I won't let you off easy."

"Three Tribulations Law, explode!"

At the final moment, Bai Zhongsheng gave his all; better to perish together than be devoured alive by him.

"Boom—"

At the final moment, Bai Zhongsheng chose self-detonation; the last of the Three Tribulations Laws, the Three Tribulations Blast, detonated everything—Tribulation aura, corpse energy, resentment, as well as this formation, the Three Tribulations Spirit Disk and the Three Tribulations Corpse-Refining Grand Formation—all exploded in an instant.

"Damn, are you crazy?" the Wu Tian Corpse Venerable's face changed; he reached out to seize the Three Tribulations Spirit Disk—this is a holy artifact, superior to his Soul-Refining Banner, the very weapon he had his eye on.

"No!"

The formation, the Three Tribulations Spirit Disk, or even the White-Forehead Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng himself—directly exploded.

Having detonated everything, the cave heaven trembled; the next moment, it was shattered by the tremendous blast, splitting into countless fragments.

The entire cave heaven was about to collapse; the nearest Wu Tian Corpse Venerable had nowhere to flee, only able to watch Bai Zhongsheng self-destruct as the blast's energy swept over everything.

In an instant, it buried him, along with the Wu Tian Gate and the Soul-Refining Banner, submerging them.

The Wu Tian Gate could not absorb such massive energy explosion, and the cave heaven was also shattered.

The Corpse-Producing Lotus swayed; the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng together guarded it, everything else could be destroyed, but the Corpse-Producing Lotus must not meet any mishap.
