Chapter 350

And as Jun Xiaoyao was pondering,

the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor had not ceased her actions.

It seemed only sufficient slaughter could intimidate all.

Of course, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor did not attack indiscriminately.

Only those who had previously obstructed Jun Xiaoyao were slain by her.

This strike sent chills through all four corners.

Finally, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor's gaze locked onto a group of powerful figures from the Ghost King Palace.

They were the strongest opponents to Jun Xiaoyao entering the Burial Realm.

The reason was simple: if Jun Xiaoyao entered the Burial Realm, he would surely bring trouble to Chu Tianba.

Before Chu Tianba's Tyrant Body fully recovered, facing Jun Xiaoyao would be extremely risky.

"Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor, do not overstep. This is Burial Land—you defend an outsider prodigy. Are you unafraid of defying all under heaven?"

Though the Ghost King Palace's powerful figures felt caution, they were not afraid.

Their Ghost King Palace was among the top-tier factions, and they were led by a being like the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor.

Though the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor was strong, she could not possibly sweep clean all ten domains of Burial Land.

The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor remained silent, her jade hand striking again, as if shattering the void.

The Ghost King Palace's powerful figures turned pale.

At that moment, a cold snort echoed from the void.

"Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor, have you gone mad?"

With that cold snort spoken,

the entire sky seemed to sink into darkness.

A figure cloaked in pitch-black, grotesque armor tore through the void.

An aura of supreme supremacy trembled across the ten directions of the cosmos.

"Lord Master!"

Seeing this figure appear, all the Ghost King Palace's powerful figures wore expressions of relief after narrowly escaping death.

The one who appeared was none other than the Lord Master of the Ghost King Palace—the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor!

As one of the veteran experts of Burial Land's ten domains, the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor ranked second, yet his strength was not much weaker than the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor's.

Seeing the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor appear, all beings present erupted in shock.

The two strongest experts of Burial Land had both appeared.

Was today the day heaven itself would change?

"You've appeared too—but so what?"

Seeing the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor appear, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor's tone showed no fluctuation.

"What karmic tie do you have with this boy? Why defend him? Are you trying to curry favor with the clan behind him?" the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Needless to say, his words were sharp and cunning.

He instantly placed the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor on the opposing side of ancient Burial Land.

Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.

This Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor displeased him.

"None of your business." The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor's voice was cold.

Though that was not her meaning, she had no intention of explaining.

"Hmph, you merely wish for this boy to enter the Burial Realm? Fine—let him in, what does it matter?" the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor said coolly.

If he barred Jun Xiaoyao, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor would never relent.

Such a great Buddha—even the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor had to tread with extreme caution.

Unless absolutely forced, the Heavenly Ghost Burial Emperor did not wish to clash with the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor.

Even if Jun Xiaoyao entered the Burial Realm, it did not mean he could block Chu Tianba from seizing the opportunity.

In the end, it all came down to one's own ability.

"If you dare enter, I dare kill you!" Chu Tianba's eyes shot out three-foot-long cold light, as if capable of slicing the void.

He would personally slay Jun Xiaoyao to prove to the world that only the Tyrant Body could be king!

"I return your words verbatim!" Jun Xiaoyao had no patience for empty words.

Time would prove all.

Next, the slots for entering the Burial Realm were confirmed.

Besides Jun Xiaoyao, Lang Huan, Chu Tianba, Long Xiang, Mo Ling, Jiu You Hui, the Blood Ash Clan prodigy, and the Corpse Cultivation Sect prodigy also qualified.

All other beings could only watch helplessly from outside.

"Thank you."

Before entering the Burial Realm, Jun Xiaoyao glanced at the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor and murmured.

Though he still did not yet understand the karmic connection, he would figure it out later.

"After the Burial Realm ends, I will find you," the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor said to Jun Xiaoyao.

That face stirred something deep within her heart, long buried in solitude.

It had nothing to do with romantic feelings—it was an extremely peculiar sensation.

Yet to outsiders, this exchange was practically confirmation.

"The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor has truly taken a liking to this pretty boy." Many male beings felt their hearts shatter.

Though they could never win her favor, as long as she showed no interest in others, it was acceptable.

Like female fans chasing idols—they knew they could never have a connection, yet if their idol fell in love, their hearts broke instantly.

Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight nod.

He trusted the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Emperor bore him no ill intent.

Afterwards, Jun Xiaoyao and the others stepped directly into the spatial rift.

The surrounding heavens spun, space twisted chaotically, countless bizarre illusions emerged.

Moments later, Jun Xiaoyao had arrived in a lifeless land.

The sky and earth were drenched in crimson; seven blood-red suns hung high above.

They brought no warmth to this land, only deepening its bloody, grim aura.

Thick deathly ghost energy permeated the air.

Even Burial Land's natives would likely feel discomfort.

Jun Xiaoyao, relying on his mighty Saint Body, could still withstand it.

Around him, no other beings were visible.

Clearly, during entry, the spatial chaos had scattered them to different locations.

"Finally, the Burial Realm." Jun Xiaoyao exhaled softly.

Before entering, Lang Huan had told him the outer edges of the Burial Realm could be cautiously explored—perhaps yielding various opportunities.

But one must never venture deep.

Within the Burial Realm's depths, even sages above could perish with a single misstep, let alone young prodigies like them.

Jun Xiaoyao cared little—he came here specifically to find the Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Grass.

"The system hasn't prompted a check-in—is it because I'm still at the Burial Realm's very edge?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

Perhaps only after venturing deeper would the system prompt a check-in.

Jun Xiaoyao continued forward.

Along the way, he spotted a half-buried skeleton in the sand.

"A quasi-Saint's skeleton?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

For ordinary prodigies, such a skeleton was already a great opportunity—studying its runes and laws might yield great gains.

But Jun Xiaoyao had no interest and did not pause.

Over the next several hours, Jun Xiaoyao repeatedly discovered treasures: rare metals buried underground, ghost grass growing in the Burial Realm, and more.

Almost every few steps revealed some treasure.

No wonder Burial Realm beings all desired entry—truly, one could find treasures just by searching randomly.

Unfortunately, Jun Xiaoyao found none of these treasures worthy of notice.

Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao had also encountered skeletal beings—he had met such creatures before when first entering Burial Land, passing through the Burial Grounds.

Fortunately, the skeletal beings on the Burial Realm's outer edges were weak; Jun Xiaoyao easily dispatched them.

But when Jun Xiaoyao encountered another skeletal being,

he was startled to discover this one's entire body was covered in thunder markings, capable of controlling a trace of thunder power.

"This… is strange." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze grew deep.
