Like a giant whale swallowing the sea, it sucked Old Man Greenbrow's soul straight into its stomach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it carried the corpses of Lady Bloodcharm and Old Man Greenbrow back to the blood corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain-Embracing Ape was left alone to face the combined assault of the seven peak-stage Tier 3 blood corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with its incredibly resilient physical body and extraordinary bloodline, it was besieged and battered to death in just a dozen breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its soul went to the Blood Fiend Ghost King, while its flesh and blood were devoured by the strongest Profound Yin Blood Corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Fiend Ghost King was now only a single step away from becoming a Tier 4 Ghost King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after the strongest Profound Yin Blood Corpse had devoured the flesh of Old Man Greenbrow's trio and the Mountain-Embracing Ape, it only needed to fully digest the energy to ascend to the half-step Tier 4 Zombie King stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Yin Blood Corpse tilted its head back and roared, dense blood fiend qi rocketing into the sky around its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan observed this scene and gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining cultivators also felt the staggering fluctuations emanating from the blood corpse's roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao's expression was aghast. He turned to Liu Qiankun and said, \"That Golden Core consummation cultivator, the two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and that late-stage Tier 3 Mountain-Embracing Ape are all dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?!\" Liu Qiankun's expression shifted drastically. \"Could it be related to that unearthly roar from a moment ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven peak-stage Tier 3 blood corpses and a half-step Tier 4 Ghost King. Even that peak-stage Tier 3 Darkfeather Nether Serpent would have to retreat three stages to avoid conflict with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else runs into them, certain death is the only outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao's face was fraught with anxiety as he urged, \"We must dispel the grand array and pool our strength with the others.

But perhaps because the soul of that half-step Tier 4 Ghost King is too powerful, they were able to march straight toward the Mountain-Embracing Ape's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the blood mist of the array had absolutely no effect on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then dispel the array. We will gather our remaining forces and besiege them together,\" Liu Qiankun said, gritting his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had escalated so rapidly that they barely had time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Chuan let out a disdainful chuckle. With a flick of his sleeve, he deployed the Cloudy Heaven Illusion Formation once more, enveloping the entirety of the Daliang Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone.\" Sima Chengdao's voice echoed throughout the Imperial Palace. \"Seven peak-stage Tier 3 blood corpses and a half-step Tier 4 Ghost King have appeared within the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They effortlessly slaughtered two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, a Golden Core consummation cultivator, and a late-stage Tier 3 Mountain-Embracing Ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we continue fighting amongst ourselves, we will inevitably be devoured by them and never find peace in the afterlife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this old man intends to dispel the Blood Mist Great Array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of Old Daoist Xuanji's group, Ye Fan's trio, Cao Jiyi, and even the Darkfeather Nether Serpent all flickered in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the very next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood mist surrounding them indeed began to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could now see each other with perfect clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet strangely, none of them made a move against each other. Instead, their gazes were locked on the row of blood corpses lined up a few miles away, and the Blood Fiend Ghost King floating above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old daoist will no longer accompany you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Daoist Xuanji immediately attempted to unleash an Evasion Divine Ability to flee far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless white clouds and mist began to spread across the borders of the Imperial Palace, obstructing his escape art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A trapping array?!\" Old Daoist Xuanji's brow furrowed. \"What is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward Sima Chengdao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao's expression shifted as well. \"This is not our doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark chill flashed in the eyes of the Middle-aged Scholar. \"It seems someone does not want us to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the clouds, Xu Mingxuan offered a bitter smile. \"Father, the situation has changed too rapidly. The bitter enemies from a moment ago have now united to jointly deal with your blood corpses and Ghost King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not surprising!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Xu Chuan began to assign targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Fiend Ghost King and the Profound Yin Corpse King were to handle the Darkfeather Nether Serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darkfeather Nether Serpent instinctively grew wary of the two. It flicked its tongue wildly, seeming to issue a harsh warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Fiend Ghost King attacked first. Beating its wings, it transformed into a sky full of bloody afterimages, clinging to the serpent's body like a maggot on the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blood fiend qi was highly corrosive to flesh and blood. Wherever it touched, the Darkfeather Nether Serpent's incredibly tough scales actually emitted loud sizzling sounds and plumed with black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Yin Corpse King was even more direct. Letting out a skyward roar, terrifying corpse qi comparable to a half-step Tier 4 entity explosively erupted. The energy coalesced into a massive bloody claw nearly a hundred meters wide that grabbed fiercely at the serpent's head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darkfeather Nether Serpent hissed furiously. Black lightning surged from its single horn, turning into a net of lightning that blanketed the bloody claw. At the same time, its colossal tail swept out in a sweeping strike, aiming to shatter the Blood Fiend Ghost King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three mighty beings became entangled in a fierce melee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder light, blood fiend qi, and corpse qi violently clashed and intertwined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every collision whipped up terrifying energy shockwaves, causing the surrounding palaces to consecutively collapse into ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, three of the Profound Yin Blood Corpses took on Xuanji and his two companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three cultivators positioned themselves with Xuanji at the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Daoist Xuanji laid down a Three Talents Array, with the three of them serving as array cores. In dealing with the three peak-stage Tier 3 blood corpses, they actually did not fall into a disadvantage at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Middle-aged Scholar lightly fanned his folding fan, and countless pink petals materialized out of thin air. Every single petal was like a razor-sharp blade as they shot toward one of the blood corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink, clink, clink!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of sparks scattered into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Armor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face abruptly changed, and he cried out in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought the armor they wore was ordinary gear. Never did he expect it to actually be defensive magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Robed Strongman unsheathed his greatsword. Sword aura surged like a dragon as he slashed toward the blood corpse charging at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood corpse's sharp claws fiercely met the greatsword, ringing out with the loud sound of metal striking metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood corpse was forced back three steps, but the clash only left a faint white scratch on its claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, the tiger's mouth of the Black-Robed Strongman's sword-wielding hand grew entirely numb from the recoil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final three blood corpses lunged separately toward Sima Chengdao, Liu Qiankun, and Cao Jiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao bellowed, \"Fellow Daoist Liu, what are you waiting for?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiankun was fully aware of the life-and-death crisis they were in. He immediately utilized a Fortune Secret Art, causing his aura to skyrocket instantly. His cultivation shot directly from the fifth layer of the Golden Core realm all the way to the ninth layer of Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Dragon Seal in his hand simultaneously unleashed the formidable might of a six-patterned magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Yun, Xuanji, the Middle-aged Scholar, and the others all cast their gazes in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of secret method is that? For it to be so profound, capable of multiplying one's strength so drastically and even elevating the grade of a magic treasure?\" Xuanji asked in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Yun's eyes lit up, and he unexpectedly began to explain, \"This is a Fortune Secret Art, unparalleled in its profundity. Without cultivating the corresponding cultivation method, it is impossible to learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortune?! No wonder. Thank you for clearing that up, Daoist Friend,\" Xuanji replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are too polite, Daoist Friend.\" Mei Yun nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength immensely boosted, Liu Qiankun wielded the high-grade magic treasure Nine Dragon Seal, fighting two major blood corpses all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao assisted from the sidelines, occasionally launching sneak attacks with his Blood-Colored Sharp Cone, or using low-grade magic treasures to intercept the blood corpses' ambushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final blood corpse charged directly toward Cao Jiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi was not far from Ye Fan's trio, so he immediately kited the blood corpse in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Fan locked his gaze firmly on Cao Jiyi. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. He instantly transmitted his voice, 'De Yue, Second Junior Brother, you two help me hold off that blood corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am going to slaughter Old Bastard Cao with my own hands!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue and Mei Yun nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of her wrist, Xu Deyue sent a ray of sword light crashing into the blood corpse, throwing it backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse let out an angry roar at Xu Deyue and Mei Yun, but because it sensed the Xu Family bloodline within her, it did not dare to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Play along with them,' Xu Chuan's voice echoed in the blood corpse's sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the command, the blood corpse immediately dashed toward the pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue engaged the blood corpse head-on, while Mei Yun mimicked Sima Chengdao's tactics—holding the Mountains and Rivers Seal in his palm and launching intermittent sneak attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood corpse wished nothing more than to bypass Xu Deyue and shred Mei Yun to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't allowed to, leaving it feeling incredibly aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continuously bared its fangs and roared at Mei Yun, but the more it did so, the more enthusiastically Mei Yun smashed it with his seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's what you get for snarling at me!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan hurtled toward Cao Jiyi, angrily roaring, \"Old Bastard Cao, today is your day to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi momentarily blanked before flushing with furious humiliation. \"You wet-behind-the-ears brat! Don't think just because you changed your face, this old man wouldn't recognize you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are the scarred swordsman from last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliation you dealt me then will be settled here and now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his boastful words, he abruptly spun around and fled. In terms of strength, he wouldn't last a single exchange, and the mid-grade magic treasure he carried was strictly for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Cao Jiyi caught sight of a fleeing Foundation Establishment disciple from the Cao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extracted a Black Lamp from his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a ruthless gleam flashed through his eyes as he reached out and snatched at the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor! No—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed in terror, but an invisible force dragged him right in front of Cao Jiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the continuation of the Cao Family, sacrifice your lifespan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi slammed his palm onto the man's crown. He silently chanted an incantation while forming hand seals with his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Violet-Nether Fiend Lamp flared with an eerie light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Foundation Establishment cultivator let out a bloodcurdling scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body withered and aged at a visible pace. His hair turned snow-white, and his skin wrinkled heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three short breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed from a robust middle-aged man into an emaciated elder, before Cao Jiyi casually discarded him to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides draining lifespan, the Violet-Nether Fiend Lamp also absorbed the essence, qi, and spirit of its user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this as its Legacy Fire, the wick ignited, emitting a purple-black flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Cao Jiyi formed a seal, aiming the Violet-Nether Fiend Lamp directly at Ye Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a ball of purple-black flames shot out from the wick, incinerating the very void itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan's pupils constricted. He promptly hoisted the True Sun Shield in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Sun Shield's defensive light curtain trembled violently, and the terrifying force blasted Ye Fan backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan was inwardly astounded. 'This power is absolutely on par with a Fire-Element Grand Accomplishment Divine Ability!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Fan managed to block the purple-black flames, Cao Jiyi activated the lamp four consecutive times until the flame finally sputtered out. Ye Fan's True Sun Shield light curtain could no longer hold up and eventually shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the battle intent blazing in Ye Fan's eyes only grew more intense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good!\" Ye Fan wiped the blood trailing from the corner of his mouth and roared with laughter. \"Now this is more like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring everything else, he charged straight at Cao Jiyi once more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brahma Holy Fist—Fourth Fist, Melting Heaven!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale golden flames burned furiously atop both of his fists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body radiated a will to fight heaven and earth, a relentless battle intent that refused to rest until death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle intent divine ability comprehensively amplified his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Fan resembled a god of war stepping out from ancient times, fierce, unyielding, and surging with a heaven-shaking momentum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist auras rained down, every single punch shaking the void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi forcefully withstood the blows with his Black Armored Shield while continuously retreating, desperately scanning the area for more Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would dare approach him now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were terrified of meeting the same fate as that Cao Family disciple from moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan unleashed punch after punch, paying absolutely no heed to the damage his meridians were sustaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of his fists rose higher with every wave, his imposing aura reaching an unprecedented peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi was battered into a constant retreat. Seeing that his shield's light curtain was on the verge of collapsing, sheer terror finally welled up in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid is a total madman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Our grudges end here! This old man can let bygones be bygones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi yelled out frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan's assault never slowed, his voice as cold as iron. \"Impossible. Not until your Cao Family is completely exterminated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi's heart violently convulsed. \"My Cao Family has no grievances or enmity with you. Where does such immense hatred come from?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ask the dead in the underworld!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forced my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madness flashed in Cao Jiyi's eyes. His hands rapidly formed seals, preparing to sacrifice a portion of his own lifespan along with his essence, qi, and spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he succeeded, the purple-black flames would be elevated to a level comparable to the might of an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as his magic incantation was halfway formed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan silently struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi let out an agonizing wail, abruptly cutting off the activation of his secret method!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Violet-Nether Fiend Lamp was an incredibly vicious demonic treasure that still retained a sliver of sentience. Upon being interrupted, it immediately inflicted a severe backlash on Cao Jiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assaulted by a Divine Sense Secret Art and suffering the backlash of the Violet-Nether Fiend Lamp, Cao Jiyi's situation was dreadfully grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he screamed those words, Ye Fan had already closed the gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those fists, wreathed in pale golden flames, rapidly magnified within his terrified pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die, old bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan roared. Pouring every ounce of his strength into his punch, he directly smashed apart the defensive light curtain of the Black Armored Shield in front of Cao Jiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield was blasted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residual might of Ye Fan's punch punched clean through Cao Jiyi's chest, exploding his heart into mush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi's body flew backward like a broken ragdoll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Fan's voice whispered directly into his ear. \"Say hello to my mother, Ye Xuehua, when you get down there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi's eyes instantly bulged open to their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next split second, he breathed his last on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the Blood Fiend Ghost King, currently engaged in a ferocious battle with the Darkfeather Nether Serpent, seemed to sense something. It turned its head, opened its maw, and inhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Jiyi's residual soul had absolutely no strength to resist as it was sucked into the Ghost King's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, countless blood threads naturally drew themselves from his corpse, coalescing into a blood rainbow that crossed several miles and sank straight into the Profound Yin Corpse King's maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan utilized his void flight, floating in mid-air as he gazed down at Cao Jiyi's corpse. It felt as though an immense weight had finally been lifted from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he flew toward Xu Deyue and Mei Yun, intending to help them subdue the blood corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan rarely deployed his blood corpses; at the very least, Ye Fan and the others had certainly never seen them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Xu Chuan's voice suddenly rang out in his mind. 'Just put on a show. Don't go breaking the blood corpses your master worked so hard to cultivate.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Master?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan was startled. 'These blood corpses and that half-step Tier 4 Ghost King... they are all your doing, Master?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am planning to use this great calamity to allow the Zombie King and the Ghost King to advance to Tier 4. Thus, every single blood corpse is of great use to me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I understand, Master.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Ye Fan asked again, 'Did you lend a hand just now, Master?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Heh, with which eye did you see me do that?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Thank you, Master.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been puzzled a moment ago as to why Cao Jiyi had suddenly suffered a backlash. He initially thought the Black Lamp was simply too difficult to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everything was perfectly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cao Jiyi had succeeded earlier, even with Ye Fan's dual cultivation of magic and body, he likely would have been heavily injured, perhaps even killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan landed beside Xu Deyue and used voice transmission to relay this revelation to her and Mei Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No wonder that blood corpse kept snarling at me but didn't dare to hurt me. It was putting on a play all along!' Mei Yun transmitted. 'Eldest Senior Brother, do you think I owe Brother Blood Corpse an apology?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan was rendered speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faked severe injuries, and the three of them grouped up to besiege a single blood corpse. Surprisingly, no one doubted their act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, are you not planning to deal with the Cao Family disciples in the Imperial City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. When Cao Jiyi recklessly sacrificed a Cao Family disciple, I suddenly felt that being born into the Cao Family was pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having such an Ancestor is their greatest misfortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree with you. If our Xu Family did not have Grandfather, even if geniuses appeared in every generation, we would never have reached where we are today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Xu Chuan sensed something. With a faint smile, he patted his Corpse Bag, and three more Fiend Blood Corpses rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had completed their advancement, leaping from late-stage Tier 3 to peak-stage Tier 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Fiend Blood Corpses immediately dashed into the clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they materialized within the Daliang Imperial Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More peak-stage Tier 3 blood corpses? Is death truly inescapable today?!\" Xuanji's face contorted with grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the others also drastically altered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three newly arrived Fiend Blood Corpses shot straight toward Sima Chengdao and Liu Qiankun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Chengdao shouted, actually abandoning Liu Qiankun on the spot as he fled for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the entire Daliang Imperial Palace was completely sealed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where could he possibly run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Fiend Blood Corpses relentlessly pursued Sima Chengdao, demolishing countless palaces and corridors in their wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally caught up with him on the far side of the Imperial Palace and mercilessly slaughtered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Liu Qiankun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Dragon Seal was offense-defense integrated and reached the level of a high-grade magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its power was ultimately brought out through a secret method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the duration for which he had been sustaining this secret method was already far from short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the combined siege of five blood corpses for merely half a cup of tea's time, the efficacy of the Fortune Secret Art began to plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a short moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiankun's Dragon Robe was shredded. His Imperial Crown fell to pieces, leaving his hair wildly disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bone-deep claw mark across his chest gushed blood, a gruesome wound left by a blood corpse's recent sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A calamity every five hundred years, a reincarnation every thousand. It seems this is our inevitable fate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one can escape. No one can escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiankun burst into laughter, his voice echoing with desolation and profound sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I am the Emperor.\" Liu Qiankun cut off his laughter, a sliver of unyielding resolve flashing in his eyes. \"The Ultimate Sovereign, divinely destined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will absolutely not allow myself to become the rations of you monsters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words had even faded, the aura surrounding him rapidly swelled to its absolute limit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't an elevation in power, but rather a frantic compression and condensation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within his dantian, his Golden Core was rapidly glowing with a blinding intensity, expanding visibly like a sun on the verge of going supernova!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan's mind worked like lightning. Just a single divine sense attack would be enough to interrupt the self-detonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the five blood corpses could tear Liu Qiankun to pieces in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, he chose to remain silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply transmitted a brief command through his mental link with the blood corpses:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Retreat.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames in the crimson pupils of the five blood corpses flickered. They ceased their attacks almost simultaneously and wildly threw themselves backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiankun stood amidst the ruins, watching the blood corpses retreat without chasing after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tattered Dragon Robe fluttered without any wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took one final look at the Daliang Imperial Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestors on high, your unworthy descendant Liu Qiankun, will perish alongside the Nation today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world lost all sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it was simply that the blast was far too deafening, surpassing the absolute limits of what mortal eardrums could bear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sphere of pure energy was unleashed, rippling outward like waves on a pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it swept past, palaces, stone walls, and bluestone pavements—everything was torn apart, disintegrated, and completely vaporized by this terrifying power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was scraped away to a depth of roughly ten meters, forming a perfectly bowl-shaped crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five blood corpses were struck by the energy shockwave, but luckily, they had managed to distance themselves from the explosion's epicenter. Thus, they only suffered minor injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his self-detonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly a quarter of the entire Daliang Imperial Palace was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators were caught in the crossfire, dying in the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Cao Family and the Sima Family, the Liu Family had never made a move against the Xu Family. As a result, there wasn't much of a bitter grudge between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan saw that Liu Qiankun had chosen to go to his death bearing the majestic posture of an Emperor, rather than allowing himself to be reduced to blood food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such fierce resolution was worthy of a measure of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that he did not interrupt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Daoist Xuanji had set up the Three Talents Array and had been fending off the siege of three blood corpses for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, the Middle-aged Scholar, and the Black-Robed Strongman had all expended immense amounts of energy. Every one of them looked incredibly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the five freed-up blood corpses flying toward them, their faces instantly turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is over!\" Old Daoist Xuanji laughed bitterly. \"Fellow Daoists, run for your lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he abandoned the two of them and fled into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curse you, old bastard Xuanji!\" the Middle-aged Scholar cursed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a ghostly bloody shadow suddenly flickered behind him, instantly piercing through his chest and shredding his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Robed Strongman turned and fled in a completely different direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he had barely flown a hundred meters when three blood corpses materialized in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five corpses quickly boxed him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how exquisite his swordplay was, it could not bridge the massive gap in pure strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several dozen breaths later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Robed Strongman met his end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Daoist Xuanji had cultivated an Evasion Divine Ability. Although he had not even achieved a minor accomplishment in it, the blood corpses could still not easily catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately ran toward the battlefield where the Darkfeather Nether Serpent was clashing with the Ghost King and Corpse King, hoping to lead the disaster toward his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his horror, the Blood Fiend Ghost King unleashed a soul deterrence, instantly halting his swift evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A split second later, a bloody blur flickered past, and Old Daoist Xuanji's skull was mercilessly crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul and essence blood were swiftly divided up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Darkfeather Nether Serpent morphed its tail into a massive black whip, abruptly lashing out at the Blood Fiend Ghost King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Yin Corpse King suddenly appeared right in front of it, forcibly blocking the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the remaining four Profound Yin Blood Corpses rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five Spirit Blood Corpse Array!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan gave a single command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power from the other five Profound Yin Blood Corpses immediately surged wildly into the Profound Yin Corpse King's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse King's strength and aura skyrocketed instantly, breaking directly through the half-step Tier 4 level.
