Chapter 276

Looking at the scattered corpses in front of him, those over a thousand feet were almost completely decayed, emitting a thin Immortal Monarch aura.

And those over ten thousand feet were still somewhat well-preserved, temporarily not rotten, and the Immortal King fluctuations emitted from them were also slightly larger.

But without exception, these Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings were already dead; the aura of that death vitality was very clear.

Walking forward, passing through the numerous corpses, there were human shapes, and also demon types; some strange-shaped monsters that grew very freely and unrestrainedly swam out from the hands of the already rotten bodies.

Not long after, he had already looked at all the corpses, and couldn't help but be somewhat speechless.

These corpses, hundreds in total, Immortal King bodies had reached plural levels; this was simply unimaginable! When exactly did these Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings die? And why did they die?

In this world, does there really exist a power capable of killing so many Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings? While pondering, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze suddenly stern, and he looked fiercely toward the back.

I saw that on an Immortal King corpse, a human figure had appeared at some unknown time, silently.

White gold brilliance illuminated the water area, and all the monsters born from the rotting corpses flew away rapidly.

As the white gold brilliance shone, it also illuminated the figure of that human figure.

Qin Jiang looked closely; this figure was wearing tattered robes, the cheeks were already shriveled, and the hair had also become withered gray.

But Qin Jiang seemed to have thought of something, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Although the face of this figure was already shriveled and the skin had become blue-black, from the remaining clothing and bone contours, one could still see that this person was the original statue at the bottom of the Xuanwu River.

Xuanwu Xianwang!

No, it should be the corpse of the Xuanwu Xianwang.

A white gold small tripod appeared in his palm, and Qin Jiang looked at the opposite side cautiously.

Even if it was just a corpse, it was still an Immortal King corpse, needing cautious handling.

Time passed second by second; a full half-quarter of an hour passed, and the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse had no movements.

Qin Jiang's eyes moved slightly, and he walked toward the other side.

As he approached, a strange aura was also captured by his immortal sense; it was an aura almost identical to the nematode creature.

He raised his eyebrows; could it be that when the Xuanwu Xianwang suppressed the main body of the nematode creature back then, he was also polluted by the main body of the nematode creature? But if this was the case, why didn't the Xuanwu Xianwang who ascended to heaven remove the pollution?

Was this pollution too difficult to clean up, or did he underestimate the strength of the nematode creature's main body, and in fact, the Xuanwu Xianwang had already fallen into serious injury after suppressing the nematode creature's main body? Therefore, it led to the defeat and death after ascending to heaven.

Walking to the front, he put away the Overlord Tripod; at this time, he could already determine that this Xuanwu Xianwang corpse no longer had self-consciousness, and even the instinctive reactions of the physical body had almost disappeared.

Looking at the shriveled cheeks of the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse, he thought for a while and took out the nematode creature from the different space.

Back then, after the Nine Luminaries Immortal King and swallowing a huge amount of skull insects, this nematode creature had been in a deep sleep, as if it had fallen into hibernation due to digestion.

But the moment he took this nematode creature out of the different space, this nematode creature seemed to have been stimulated by something.

All the branches on its body directly split open, revealing the sharp fangs inside, roaring silently.

The next instant, the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse beside Qin Jiang moved suddenly, the blue-black palm withered like several branches, grabbing toward the nematode creature.

Qin Jiang subconsciously wanted to stop it, but controlled it at the last moment, quietly watching the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse's claws grab the nematode creature.

Pfft~ The sound of air mixed with flesh and blood being squeezed and surging out came; I saw that the nematode creature was directly grabbed into pulp by the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse's claws, and even the sharp fangs were crushed.

The next second, the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse directly grabbed the nematode creature and stuffed it into its mouth; the dancing branches of the nematode creature directly stuck to the head of the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse, like a mass of mucus about to solidify.

The tooth-aching chewing sound came from the mouth of the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse; the friction between the teeth and the nematode creature was like two pieces of rusted iron scraping against each other, very harsh.

Not long after, the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse completely swallowed the nematode creature. Almost at the same time, in Qin Jiang's perception, the Xuanwu Xianwang corpse became somewhat different.

It seemed that those death vitalities had signs of being reversed, but they were quickly suppressed and returned to their original state.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand, and hundreds of miniature Heavenly Arrays fell, like pieces of frost autumn leaves, covering the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse.

Not long after, the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse had already been submerged by the Heavenly Array, and then with a flash of brilliance, the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse transformed into a cocoon of light, gradually shrinking and becoming palm-sized.

Putting the cocoon of light transformed by the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse into the different space, he looked around; there didn't seem to be any Immortal King corpses similar to the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse.

He put away the corpse not for any other intention, but just to do an experiment.

Since swallowing the nematode creature could have some influence on the Xuanwu Xianwang's corpse, and even have the effect of reversing that kind of death vitality.

Then, if the nematode creature main body at the bottom of the Xuanwu River was released, would the Xuanwu Xianwang have a chance to revive and return?

Shaking his head, he didn't know.

However, even if he didn't know, he had to try.

The Hell Gate was about to open; if a few existences of the Immortal King level really ran out, he would also be somewhat unable to handle it.

Moreover, even if it failed, nothing would be lost.

With his current strength, he was already able to suppress the main body of that nematode creature.

Looking at the surroundings, he didn't stay too long; these corpses had been here for who knows how long, and the oldest corpse probably had already fallen here in the ancient years.

Passing through the mountain range, he saw some corpses along the way, basically all at the Immortal Monarch level, and the degree of corrosion far exceeded the corpses in that mountain range.

A long time later, in the pitch-black seawater, only a touch of white gold brilliance illuminated the sea area.

Outside the illuminated sea area, countless strange fish swam, as if coveting this only light source.

But from those already whitened dead fish eyes, one couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation; everything seemed to be executing some kind of program.

Time and space here were chaotic; after walking out for who knows how far, a strange pulling force came from all directions.

Qin Jiang probed out his immortal sense, penetrated the pulling force, and looked directly at the source; it was exactly where Shenzhou was located.

Without hesitation, following this pulling force, his figure disappeared into the pitch-black seabed.

After his figure disappeared, huge monsters emerged from the depths of the darkness, opening their mouths to swallow the water area where the white gold brilliance remained.

Shenzhou, the end of the East Sea, the Boundless Haiyuan.

White gold brilliance flashed and disappeared, Qin Jiang's figure appeared above the sea area, glanced at the sea abyss behind him, and his immortal sense scanned toward Shenzhou.

In an instant, countless information streams had surged into his mind.

The Xia Kingdom had already unified the entire Shenzhou; whether it was the demon kingdoms or some powerful demon races, such as the Tiger Clan, Dragon Clan, etc., all acknowledged the Xia Kingdom's hegemony status.

There was no other reason; the current Xia Kingdom unified Shenzhou, and the True Immortal ancestors in the court had reached plural numbers; no matter which force on the continent dared to contend with it.

And the most powerful sea force, Dragon Island, its number one expert and even the world's number one expert, the Demon Dragon Ancestor, was on good terms with the Xia Kingdom.

This led to the Xia Kingdom's current status, already the undisputed hegemon of Shenzhou.

After understanding, he didn't stay and headed straight for Daheishan, his figure disappearing on the sea surface.
