Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Proceeding deep within, the group encountered quite a few killing arrays and puppets; fortunately it was dangerous only in appearance, and they collected a good number of treasures, such as Earth Spirit Spring, Xuan Tu Crystal, Jin Marrow Stone, and the like.

Although Lin Han had no interest in Earth-element spiritual treasures, he also conveniently plucked a few spirit plants that could assist Ice Spirit Root cultivation.

Just as the group was about to arrive at the core district, a vast, majestic pressure swept over.

Only to see ahead, towering into view, a burly figure fully three zhang tall.

Shoulders broad, back thick like a mountain peak, every inch of muscle knotted and full.

Skin ancient bronze in color, defensive degree comparable to Ten-Thousand-Year Black Iron.

The skin's surface was covered all over with Dao patterns condensed after flesh body cultivation reached the utmost peak.

Face broad, brows thick; both eyes were not pupils, but turbid yellow light clusters.

Nose bridge high and straight, lips pressed tight into a cold, hard arc.

Neck thick as a pillar, both hands nearly touching the ground, finger joints large as stone pestles.

Both legs straight, soles broad and thick; every shift of movement made the ground crack open with spiderweb-like fissures.

Toes sturdy as stone nails, gripping the ground tight; even if struck by external force, they would absolutely not loosen a fraction.

On his body still clung remnants of top-grade silk cloth; though after ten thousand years it was already tattered, it still wrapped shoulders, back, waist, abdomen and other vital parts.

At this moment, he was madly attacking those cultivators who had sneaked deep inside.

Shi Pojia stared speechless: "Such a powerful flesh body?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow: "What a dense aura."

Xu Zhangqing, borrowing Xu Jiuyou's mouth: "Why does this person feel weird."

Luo Sha said meaningfully: "That isn't a person, or rather, he once was a person."

Xu Jiuyou looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Luo Sha smiled: "Our luck isn't bad; we've run into the Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch's flesh body."

As these words fell, everyone was shocked.

Never expected, this burly body fully three zhang tall.

Was actually one of the ancient period's top experts, the Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch.

"Could it be, this one is still alive?"

"No... impossible, right?"

"If truly alive, we fundamentally aren't opponents!"

For a time, quite a few people only felt their hair stand on end.

Luo Sha shook his head: "No need for excessive worry; this is merely a walking corpse that has lost its divine soul.

The Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch's flesh body was powerful in life, plus nourished by a thousand years of earth qi, therefore it was preserved, and moreover still retains the combat instincts of his life.

His flesh body is incomparably hard; one fist smashing out can even smash a Golden Core Stage cultivator into meat paste."

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily dumbstruck.

An ancient period top expert, unexpectedly terrifying to this degree.

Any cultivators contending for treasures were all targeted by this walking corpse.

Quite a few cultivators attempted to resist, yet were easily crushed; some beaten to death with one punch, some torn apart alive, the scene extremely bloody.

Xu Zhangqing, through his vision seeing this scene, eyes flashed with a bright light: "It seems the core inheritance must be on this flesh body.

Moreover, this ancient expert's flesh body, if refined into a puppet, Qingmu Sect's strength will surely increase greatly!"

Immediately, Xu Jiuyou, following Xu Zhangqing's instruction, said to Luo Sha: "Sect Master Luo, this Emperor Monarch flesh body is incomparably powerful; relying on any one of our sides alone, it is difficult to control.

Better to join hands, first subdue it, then discuss how to distribute.

If snatched away by others first, we will have missed this opportunity in vain."

Luo Sha nodded at once: "Good!"

Both acted simultaneously; Xu Jiuyou unleashed nine branches, at extreme speed enveloping the target, attempting to trap this Emperor Monarch flesh body.

Luo Sha activated the Netherworld War General, black sword in hand, hacking out a pitch-black Sword Qi.

Shi Pojia, Lu Yan, and the Jiuyou Sect disciples could only stare helplessly from the side.

You must know, this is a Nascent Soul Stage battle; they fundamentally cannot intervene.

After a fierce battle, Xu Jiuyou and Luo Sha gradually gained the upper hand, just about to control this flesh body, when a strange insect cry rang out.

Immediately after, Li Bu San and Li Bu Si, leading Mother Worm Sect disciples, launched a sneak attack.

Li Bu San released Thousand-Leg Poison Mist; wherever the poison mist passed, cultivators fell to the ground one after another.

Li Bu Si then released Soul-Devouring Flying Worms, lunging at Qingmu Sect and Jiuyou Sect disciples.

"Despicable!"

Seeing this, Xu Jiuyou hurriedly split off some branches to block the poison mist and flying worms.

Facing this situation, Luo Sha also had to divert part of his mind to defend.

Melee erupted instantly; Qingmu Sect and Jiuyou Sect not only had to face the Emperor Monarch flesh body's resistance, but also contend with Mother Worm Sect.

Both sides fundamentally lacked complete trust; each held back a move, therefore hands and feet were tied.

Conversely, Mother Worm Sect disciples not only had no scruples, but were even fiercely unafraid of death.

Plus Li Bu San and Li Bu Si's tacit cooperation, they gradually gained the upper hand.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Xu Zhangqing's expression darkened slightly: "We can't go on like this. If we delay any longer, the minor and major powers will all come rushing.

By then the scene will be even more chaotic, and especially the Emperor Monarch's flesh body might be snatched away."

Immediately, he transmitted a command to the female earth being.

The female earth being no longer kept a low profile; she formed hand seals with both hands, her spiritual power surged violently around her, and she connected with the surrounding earth qi, mountains and rivers, and spirit springs.

Relying on her abilities as an Array Master, she combined the feng shui and earth qi within the cave abode to quickly lay out a massive spiritual array—the Earth Pulse Suppressing Spirit Array.

The array activated, countless yellow earth spiritual lights surged out, forming a solid light wall that trapped the Mother Worm Sect's disciples, while the poison mist and flying insects were suppressed.

At the same time, the array had a strengthening effect on the Qingmu Sect's disciples: their spiritual energy circulated faster, their movement speed increased, and their own strength greatly grew.

As for the Jiuyou Sect's disciples, they were slightly restrained by the array, and their movements became somewhat sluggish.

"Who is this person?"

"What a powerful Array Master!"

"The Qingmu Sect actually hides a top-tier Array Master?!"

Even a fool would know what was happening at this moment.

No one expected that the Qingmu Sect's hidden card was actually a top-tier Array Master.

The battle situation instantly reversed; the female earth being seized the opportunity to flash forward, arriving before the Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch's flesh body, pressed both hands against its chest, spiritual light surged into it from all around her body, and she chanted under her breath.

She used the advantage of her own Earth Spiritual Root, combined with the power of the array, using herself as a guide, temporarily established a link with the Emperor Monarch's flesh body, and successfully controlled this powerful walking corpse.

Li Bu San and Li Bu Si, seeing this, both had drastic changes in expression.

They knew that if the stalemate continued, not only would they fail to obtain the Emperor Monarch's flesh body, but the Mother Worm Sect would also pay a heavy price.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately ordered: "Retreat!"

At the same time, they spread the news that the Qingmu Sect controlled the Emperor Monarch's flesh body and obtained the Core Inheritance.

Once the news came out, the cultivators originally at the Outer Perimeter all rushed toward the depths.

Although they did not know whether the news was true or false, the Qingmu Sect instantly became the target of public criticism.

"Sect Leader, we have no need to continue cooperating with the Qingmu Sect!"

"Right, if we keep following them, we'll only be dragged down!"

"Yes, Sect Leader, we might as well turn against them while we have the chance!"

The Jiuyou Sect's disciples all showed dissatisfaction and discussed heatedly.

In response, Rakshasa waved his hand: "No, we must bind ourselves to the Qingmu Sect.

Now that the Qingmu Sect has become the target of public criticism, they alone cannot withstand the siege of all powers.

If we separate, not only will we face the Mother Worm Sect's attacks, but we will also be targeted by many."

Hearing this, it did indeed seem to be the case.

However, this was somewhat unexpected to the Jiuyou Sect's disciples.

They thought the cooperation was merely both sides being evasive and insincere.

They did not expect that the Sect Leader was determined to bind themselves to the Qingmu Sect.

Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes and murmured: "Strange, am I not familiar with him?"

At present, going outside was no longer very possible.

The Qingmu Sect and the Jiuyou Sect could only continue to go deeper.

Fortunately, the female earth being controlled the Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch's flesh body, and relying on her powerful strength, the restrictions and puppets along the way were all easily crushed.

Going deeper all the way, the scene of the core area became increasingly shocking.

Here, the spiritual energy was so dense it condensed into spirit liquid.

On the ground were spread Xuan Tu crystals and gold spirit crystals.

Moreover, earth spirit plants and spiritual treasures over a thousand years old could be seen everywhere.

For example, earth dragon scales that could strengthen bones, and Xuan Tu ointment that could nourish the flesh body.

At the center of the core area was a huge palace.

Not unexpectedly, it should be the Xuan Tu Emperor Monarch's Inheritance Hall.

At the palace gate stood two ten-zhang-tall earth puppets guarding, with strength comparable to Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Around the palace was laid the powerful earth system killing array "Earth Pulse Imprisoning Heaven Array"; without a top-tier Array Master to solve it, no one could enter!
