Chapter 690: Corpse Wraith King
When the withered-bone figure holding the Soul-Summoning Banner appeared, even Pang Pang Qianyuan, a king-level powerhouse, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Because the other's name, he had indeed heard of it before.
Corpse Wraith King, like the Fish Fiend King, ranked among the Four Evil Kings.
The dark cavern sealed by the Saintly Xuanxing Academy had actually drawn two Other Kings?!
This was clearly not quite normal. Because according to the habits of the Others, especially after reaching the level of an Other King, these Other Kings all possessed a very strong territorial sense. Since the Fish Fiend King had occupied the area of this world rift, then the other Other Kings would
avoid stepping into this area, to prevent conflict between the two sides.
But now, besides the Fish Fiend King, a second Other King had also appeared. And from the looks of it, there was no hostility between them at all, which indicated they had reached some kind of consensus. What kind of reason could make these two Other Kings abandon that instinctive rejection and opposition, and reach some kind of cooper
ation?
Unless it was a command from a higher, more powerful existence. The rank and strength of the Fish Fiend King and the Corpse Wraith King, placed within the dark world, absolutely belonged to the top tier, but above them, there still existed some even more powerful Others... This was normal, just like Pang Pang Qianyuan himself
although he was also a king-level powerhouse, in this world, there were still many who were stronger than him.
In the dark world, it was the same.
From the intelligence he had obtained, this Fish Fiend King and Corpse Wraith King were subordinate to an extremely terrifying existence.
"Eight-Headed Black Demon King..."
Pang Pang Qianyuan's pupils shrank slightly. Just thinking of this name, boundless wariness rose in his heart, because this name, within the entire top tier of the human race, was notoriously infamous.
This was an Other comparable to a Li Li Tianwang-level powerhouse! Legend had it that a hundred years ago, in a certain Wang Hou battlefield in the Inner Shenzhou, the Eight-Headed Black Demon King had once led the Four Evil Kings under his command to appear. That time, it stirred up a shocking great battle that caused the Inner Shenzhou to tremble. Countless titled marquis-level power
houses perished within it. In the end, it was only when a certain Li Li Tianwang-level powerhouse of the human race took action that this Eight-Headed Black Demon King was repelled.
From some top-tier intelligence that only king-level powerhouses could obtain, Pang Pang Qianyuan knew that this Eight-Headed Black Demon King was also a hegemon of extremely great strength in that dark world.
And now, with the Fish Fiend King and Corpse Wraith King appearing here at the same time, if they were acting under someone's instruction, then it could only be that one Eight-Headed Black Demon King.
Pang Pang Qianyuan's heart sank uncontrollably at this moment. He did not understand why that kind of Other existence would take an interest in a world rift suppressed by a Saintly Academy. Normally speaking, with an existence like it, its gaze should be cast toward those Wang Hou battlefields instead. Setting its sights
on here was truly beneath its station.
"What exactly are you plotting? Is there something worth your attention here?" Pang Pang Qianyuan asked slowly. The Fish Fiend King tilted its head slightly, its grayish-white fish pupils looking at Pang Pang Qianyuan without any emotion, and said: "Pang Pang Qianyuan, stop asking questions. Things have reached this point. If you are still smart, then protecting yourself and leaving the Great Xia is
the most rational course of action."
"If you still try to obstruct, then today, you, the only king-level powerhouse of the Great Xia, might just perish here."
"This land will ultimately be covered by the black water."
Pang Pang Qianyuan's face darkened as he looked at the jet-black Evil Thought Heihe behind the Fish Fiend King, and said: "You want to channel this Evil Thought Heihe into our world?" The Evil Thought Heihe was a convergence body of evil thoughts, within which countless Others were born. If this Evil Thought Heihe were truly allowed to pour into the Great Xia, then the pollution this land would suffer would be even more dreadful and terrifying than ordinary Other disasters
Especially since the Evil Thought Heihe would continue to expand. If this continued, not to mention the Great Xia, the surrounding kingdoms and Wang Chao would all be greatly affected. It was like an uncontrolled plague.
The Fish Fiend King smiled noncommittally.
"Fish Fiend, you talk too much." And at this moment, the Corpse Wraith King holding the tattered Soul-Summoning Banner raised its pair of death-qi-filled pupils. It stared at Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the Soul-Summoning Banner in its hand began to wave.
"I'll hold him back. You drive the Heihe, and enter the Great Xia through this dark cavern."
As the Corpse Wraith King made its move, one saw boundless grayish-white death qi sweep forth. Within that death qi, countless illusory figures shrieked, as if wailing banshees, while simultaneously emitting a terrifying corrosive force.
Once this death qi entered the body, even a living person would be instantly transformed into a corpse controlled by the Corpse Wraith King. Seeing this, Pang Pang Qianyuan's expression also turned icy. Today's unforeseen events had somewhat exceeded his control. The appearance of two Other Kings was truly a rare situation in the Outer Shenzhou. Although he still didn't know exactly what
their intentions were, he knew that the Evil Thought Heihe absolutely could not be released. He took a deep breath and abandoned his original thought of going to reinforce the academy, because if only one Fish Fiend King was here, he could still borrow the power of the Dragon Bone Holy Grail to temporarily suppress it. But with the appearance of the Corpse Wraith King
, he could only stay, otherwise once they drove the Evil Thought Heihe out, even if the Phase Force Tree had not been destroyed, it would be of no use.
Of course, Pang Pang Qianyuan also understood that now he had fallen into a dilemma.
Boom! Incomparable vast phase force, like a tide, roared out from within Pang Pang Qianyuan's body. The entire world trembled, and then behind him, a tri-colored resplendent halo of roughly a thousand zhang appeared, the halo eman
ating a mysterious charm.
That was the Triphase Sacred Halo.
Containing true Triphase power.
Compared to it, the Triphase Sacred Halo Li Luo had previously displayed by borrowing Pang Pang Qianyuan's power at the coronation ceremony was like firefly light beside the bright moon.
Hum!
The Triphase Sacred Halo erupted with countless rays of light. These rays were like heavenly fire descending, completely dissolving the rushing grayish-white death qi. At the same time, Pang Pang Qianyuan clenched his palm, and one saw a ten-thousand-zhang giant blade materialize out of thin air between heaven and earth. The moment that giant blade appeared, it was as if the firmament itself was being split apart. The intensity of that blade qi caused the entire dark cavern to violently
tremble at this moment.
Pang Pang Qianyuan's face was cold and indifferent as he slashed down at the Corpse Wraith King with one blade. The Corpse Wraith King also stopped in its tracks at this moment. On that withered-bone-like face, Solemnity appeared. The Soul-Summoning Banner in its hand kept fanning, and the next moment, vast death qi gathered, transforming into a giant figure roughly ten thousand zhang
tall before it.
That figure seemed to be composed of hundreds of millions of corpses, draped in tattered clothes, with overwhelming death qi rolling off it.
The Corpse Shadow raised its giant palm, wrapped in nearly tangible death qi, and clashed head-on with that enormous blade shadow.
Boom! An indescribable energy shockwave erupted at this moment. The earth was torn apart layer by layer. In some areas closer to the depths of the dark cavern, there were outposts and purification towers built by the academy, but these facilities this
time were almost completely destroyed.
Two king-level powerhouses engaged in an all-out clash in the depths of the dark cavern. The Fish Fiend King watched the earth-shaking duel between the two sides. Pang Pang Qianyuan's strength was indeed beyond doubt. After all, they had clashed so many times over the years, and it still had great recognition of the other's strength. The Corpse Wraith King, coming over for the first time
, had indeed bitten off more than it could chew.
However, it was quite happy to see the Corpse Wraith King suffer a setback. That stinking fellow didn't get along with it at all.
"Heh, Pang Pang Qianyuan, we've fought here for so many years, and this time, you're finally going to fail." The Fish Fiend King's humanoid body gradually vanished. Amidst a great burst of light, it once again transformed into that incomparably huge bizarre black fish, then stirred up the Heihe. The rolling, ghastly, bizarre jet-black river began to pass through the world rift, pouring toward the depths of the dark cavern
Their plot today was beyond Pang Pang Qianyuan's imagination. Now, both inside and outside the dark cavern had fallen under their control. Pang Pang Qianyuan's resistance could not change anything.
Boom! Boom!
Destructive battle aftershocks continuously erupted in the depths of the dark cavern.
The ten-thousand-zhang Corpse Shadow summoned by the Corpse Wraith King had been cleaved apart time and again by Pang Pang Qianyuan's terrifying blade light in repeated clashes. The Triphase power displayed invincible might, suppressing the Corpse Wraith King.
But the Corpse Wraith King was completely unmoved by this. Pang Pang Qianyuan was indeed more formidable than it had anticipated, but for the other party to break through its blockade was not that easy either.
The Soul-Summoning Banner in its hand kept waving, and within the death qi that filled the world, giant hands of corpses condensed one after another, constantly shattering the void, reaching toward Pang Pang Qianyuan.
"Pang Pang Qianyuan, your heart is in disarray."
The Corpse Wraith King spoke indifferently. As time went on, although Pang Pang Qianyuan held a slight advantage, the one who remained composed was, instead, it.
Because at this very moment, whether it was the Corpse Wraith King, Pang Pang Qianyuan, or the Fish Chi King that had stirred up Heihe, they all, as if by prior agreement, raised their heads.
The Dark Cavern was shaking violently.
In that distant, dim and gloomy place, it seemed as though long-absent light was shining in.
The Dark Cavern was collapsing.
The temperature inside the Dark Cavern was also rising at this moment. Pang Pang Qianyuan was somewhat dazed, then a touch of bitterness welled up in his heart. His gaze seemed to pierce through layer upon layer of obstruction, and he saw, within the academy, that Mutual Affinity Tree that had witnessed the history of the Saintly Mystic Star Academy, at this moment... being ignited by black flames.
