Chapter 386: Death of the Corpse Emperor

Xu Qing's eyes condensed. He strongly restrained his gaze from looking into the depths of the Corpse Forbidden Land, keeping Master's reminder in mind. Afterward, his gaze shifted and swept across other edge areas of the Corpse Forbidden Land.

He saw more than ten disciples of the Eight Sect Alliance, all scattered and fleeing.

Each of them clearly had terror on their faces, and a large number of dead people's arms were emerging around them, entangling them.

This scene made Xu Qing think of the Alliance news he heard more than a month ago when he was about to set off for the Sea Corpse Clan.

Some disciples went missing at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden Land, so the sect arranged a group of people to investigate the situation according to the regulations. These people... were that group of investigating disciples.

Xu Qing passed his discovery to the sect through the taboo magic treasure for the first time. And just as he finished doing this, a drastic change occurred where Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xiaohai were.

The hair emerging behind them suddenly increased, and its speed soared, heading straight for them.

Just as it was about to entangle them as they sped, at this moment, Ding Xiaohai's expression revealed a trace of ferocity, and he actually struck out fiercely, landing a palm toward Zhao Zhongheng.

Although both were Foundation Establishment, Ding Xiaohai had already reached the second fire, which was quite extraordinary.

As for Zhao Zhongheng, he was still several Dharma apertures away from completing the second fire. At this moment, even if he had some precautions in his heart, he still didn't have the qualifications to counterattack or dodge.

In an instant, his figure spat out blood under Ding Xiaohai's sudden strike, and the Dharma ship beneath him also trembled, appearing with cracks, becoming unstable. With this pause, the hair that came in pursuit directly entangled the Dharma ship.

"Ding Xiaohai!" Zhao Zhongheng let out a shrill sound, his expression carrying anger, staring fixedly at Ding Xiaohai, who at this moment didn't look back and fled toward the distance after using him as bait.

As for him, after the Dharma ship was entangled by those hairs, he could only rush out himself and abandon the ship to flee, but his speed was ultimately too slow, and he was gradually entangled by more hair and the dead people's hands on the sea surface.

The life-and-death crisis was intense, and a sense of despair emerged. Zhao Zhongheng roared and used the protective object given by his grandfather, but it didn't have much effect here.

Even if he broke open a path, he was soon entangled again.

In the distance, Ding Xiaohai's figure was already blurry. Zhao Zhongheng's existence attracted most of the strange entities, allowing him to successfully escape the danger.

As for Zhao Zhongheng's shrill sound, he heard it, but didn't care.

This wasn't the first sect disciple he had pitted to death. As long as he could be better, he didn't care about others.

"People raised in a greenhouse, stupid in their actions, always bossy in front of me. What do I take Ding Xiaohai for!"

"Except for having a good grandfather, he is useless. Such a fool wouldn't live long in this world anyway, destined to be killed by someone. Since that's the case, it's better to die with some value."

"My survival is the most important." Ding Xiaohai was expressionless, his speed faster, disappearing into the mist.

It was just that his lack of cognition made Ding Xiaohai completely unaware of the true power of the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure, and even more unaware that at this moment, Xu Qing was merged with the taboo magic treasure, his gaze falling here, seeing everything.

Regarding this matter, Xu Qing didn't have any evaluation.

Standing in Ding Xiaohai's position, he couldn't be said to be wrong for the sake of survival. The same was true for Zhao Zhongheng's position.

However, standing in Xu Qing's position, he liked Ding Xiaohai even less.

As for Zhao Zhongheng, Xu Qing looked at his desperate expression in the life-and-death crisis. He thought for a moment and transmitted his spiritual sense to the artifact spirit of the bronze ancient mirror.

"Gather the projection body and descend to this place."

Almost the moment Xu Qing's spiritual sense was transmitted, the bronze ancient mirror emitted a buzzing sound, the light on it suddenly shone, and an eye suddenly opened on it.

The next instant, a dazzling light shot out directly from the bronze ancient mirror, shuttled through the void to the edge of the Corpse Forbidden Land, penetrated the mist, and landed directly in front of Zhao Zhongheng.

Just as Zhao Zhongheng's expression revealed disbelief, this light that suddenly appeared in front of him dispersed into countless dust, turned into light spots, gathered together, and formed Xu Qing's figure.

"Xu Qing!" Zhao Zhongheng's eyes widened, followed by ecstasy.

"Save me, Xu Qing, save me!" Zhao Zhongheng was grabbed by a large number of dead people's hands, his body was also entangled with black hair, half of his body was in the sea, struggling continuously, but he was slowly sinking.

Xu Qing felt the state of his body. This was the first time he had used the projection clone of the bronze ancient mirror. In his perception, this body was illusory, and its strength was not much different from the main body.

There was no shadow, no storage bag, and the three Heavenly Palaces in his body were all illusory. The Poison Forbidden Pill, the Ghost Emperor Mountain, and the Purple Moon were all absent.

The overall strength was just an ordinary three-Tiangong Golden Core.

"It seems that the projection clone also has flaws." Xu Qing was thoughtful, raised his right hand, and waved forward.

Immediately, the black seawater all around surged, turning into layers of big waves, rolling directly toward the Zhao Zhongheng who was calling for help. Wherever it passed, those dead people's hands collapsed one after another, and the entangled hair also shattered in an instant.

Although the combat power was not as good as the main body, with the cultivation of three Heavenly Palaces, as long as he didn't step into the depths of the Corpse Forbidden Land, he could still deal with many strange things.

At this moment, with the spread of the Sea Roaring power, Zhao Zhongheng was instantly freed, and his flying ship in the distance was also grabbed over alive under Xu Qing's raised hand.

The hair entangled on it directly snapped.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhongheng was terrified while having survived the disaster.

He naturally knew Xu Qing was powerful, but on one hand, the way Xu Qing appeared today overturned his thoughts, and he had experienced such life-and-death, so his heart was now filled with endless waves.

"Xu..."

"You leave here first. I will also go and check on the other Alliance disciples." Xu Qing interrupted Zhao Zhongheng's words and rolled the Dharma ship to Zhao Zhongheng.

Zhao Zhongheng nodded repeatedly, gratitude revealed in his eyes. After stepping onto the Dharma ship, he was just about to speak, but Xu Qing flicked his sleeve, and immediately a great force landed on Zhao Zhongheng's very ostentatious phoenix bird Dharma ship.

Immediately, this Dharma ship roared, its speed was blessed, and it sped toward the periphery of the Corpse Forbidden Land.

Xu Qing's body swayed, just about to go and check other areas, but just at this moment, his expression stirred, and he turned his head abruptly, looking at the depths of the mist with a serious expression.

His body retreated violently, wanting to leave.

The direction he had just gazed at, at this moment, had earth-shattering fluctuations erupting, accompanied by terrifying aura and shrill roars. In Xu Qing's perception, the seawater all around was rolling, and streams of light appeared in the depths of the mist, spreading in all directions.

Those streams of light contained Dao rhyme, giving Xu Qing the feeling that they were like Dao trace lines in the eyes of Void Returning cultivators.

"Void Returning!"

Xu Qing's heart sank, but he didn't lose his composure. After all, what was here was only a projection clone.

But what made him even more serious was the miserable laughter coming from within that mist, amidst the roars.

"Dead, all dead, all eaten..."

"Haha, all eaten, all bitten to pieces."

The voice carried madness, carrying demonic insanity, as if having experienced huge stimulation, causing the other party's heart and spirit to reach the extreme, thus going crazy.

And the moment this miserable laughter came out, the mist exploded outward with a boom, and a figure rushed out from within, running outward while laughing wildly.

This figure was not human, but an alien race, covered in rotting scales, half of its head was already gone, and many parts of its body were collapsing, tragic to the extreme, and its whole body emitted astonishing foreign matter.

Wherever it passed, the sea surface stirred up huge waves, and while roaring, it also crashed into the sea waves.

After passing through, it laughed miserably, and as if the injuries in its body couldn't be suppressed, it spat out blood, wailed to the sky, and even cried.

This scene entered Xu Qing's sight. His pupils contracted, and under the pressure of that alien cultivator, this clone of his couldn't bear it and was collapsing.

But just at this moment, the crying and wailing alien cultivator suddenly turned his head, looked at Xu Qing here, and raised his right hand to grab toward Xu Qing.

In an instant, this collapsing clone of Xu Qing flew out involuntarily and was grabbed by that alien mighty figure.

"A clone, huh."

"All dead, all dead..." That alien mighty figure laughed miserably.

Xu Qing's expression remained calm. At this moment, half of his body had already dissipated, and it wouldn't be long before it all dissipated.

He looked at this alien race whose body was extremely rich in foreign matter, silent.

And that crazy alien mighty figure suddenly brought Xu Qing to his face, almost sticking to Xu Qing's face, and suddenly spoke.

"Did you see it?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Then I will let you see, and then you go out and tell the people outside, she has awakened... The Emperor of the Corpse Forbidden Land is dead!"

This sentence entered Xu Qing's ears, and Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed. Before he could say anything, that crazy alien used his half-head to slam fiercely into Xu Qing's face.

The moment of collision, a picture formed by a segment of memory directly rushed into Xu Qing's mind forcibly.

In the picture, it was the core of the Corpse Forbidden Land, the endless seabed.

It was originally shrouded in black, but clearly, in the gaze of that alien mighty figure of the past, the seabed was clearly visible.

One could see that in the deepest part, there existed a huge bronze door.

This door didn't know how long it had existed, full of vicissitudes and the feeling of time passing. While extremely ancient, in front of that door, there was a huge figure kneeling and worshiping.

This figure was composed of countless corpses. Each corpse emitted a terrifying aura, and after they combined, the giant they formed was even more terrifying.

Xu Qing only looked at it for one glance, and felt his heart and spirit unable to bear it, and this was still the memory picture of the Void Returning alien he was looking at, not watching directly.

He even saw that on top of the giant's head, there was a crown formed by purple bones, emitting astonishing fluctuations, clearly a supreme treasure.

Afterward, the bronze door opened silently, and a huge golden hand slowly stretched out from inside the door.

Golden skin, golden bones, it seemed even the blood was golden, with seven fingers, and even bone spurs like barbs!

This hand slowly stretched out, gradually reaching in front of the giant.

The giant trembled all over, not daring to dodge, not daring to look up. Finally, amidst its shivering, that golden hand poked around on its body, scattered the corpses one by one, and grabbed a piece of black flesh from within the giant's body.

This black flesh emitted divine fluctuations that were rich to the extreme.

The hand grabbed the black flesh and slowly returned into the bronze ancient door. Gradually, chewing sounds came from inside.

Afterward, the giant composed of countless corpses seemed to have lost its soul, lost its support, and its body collapsed with a boom.

One by one, the corpses began to rot in this collapse, eventually turning into a mountain of rot.

The picture ended here.

Xu Qing's clone collapsed completely under the violent impact of this picture, turning into countless light spots and being submerged by the rolling black mist.

The alien where it was located also laughed miserably, its body shrouded in mist.

For a long time, chewing sounds came from the mist, lingering for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
