Chapter 408: The Ten Dominant Powers of the Other Shore World

"Corpse Clan... you are one of the ten dominant powers of the Other Shore... the Corpse Clan!"

A slightly older male cultivator of the Nine Heavens, brandishing a bronze ancient sword, gritted his teeth and said, his voice trembling.

The Corpse Clan's dreaded name is thunderously known throughout the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, a terrifying race synonymous with death, plague, and disaster.

"Hehe, you still have some insight... unfortunately, you learned it too late."

The towering Corpse Clan Heavenly Pride who spoke first... Shi Ritian, one of the core figures of the younger generation of the Corpse Clan, second only to Young Master Shi Litian, sneered, and Soul Fire flared intensely in his eyes.

He seemed bored with this cat-and-mouse game and decided to end the tedious slaughter.

"Game over. It is your honor to become the wandering souls under my Ten Thousand Corpse Decayed Bone Seal."

Shi Ritian took a step forward, and Corpse Qi erupted around him with a roar, like a plume of smoke charging straight into the star sea!

He formed a bizarre and evil Seal Script with both hands, and instantly the chaotic death energy and the decaying power of shattered stars that permeated the surrounding star sea seemed summoned, wildly converging between his hands!

A massive seal illusion, entirely jet‑black, its surface covered with countless twisted faces of agony, exuding a nauseating rotting aura and terrifying suppressive power, solidified swiftly!

When that great seal emerged, even the nearby stars dimmed, and the Void emitted a strained wail!

Ten Thousand Corpse Decayed Bone Seal!

The Corpse Clan possesses an extremely poisonous and domineering divine technique that requires gathering the decayed qi and Grievance from ten thousand strong corpses for refinement; once unleashed, its power is immense and it can erode vitality, contaminate the soul, exceedingly vile!

Shi Ritian's face showed a cruel smile; he possesses combat power at the nine‑tribulation quasi‑Immortal level. With this seal, the five Nine Heavens insects before him, already at the end of their strength, will surely have no corpse left and suffer Soul Annihilation!

"Die!"

He shouted sharply and thrust both hands forward forcefully!

The jet‑black Decayed Bone Seal, like a Nine Nether demonic mountain, bearing terrifying might that crushes stars and corrupts all things, slammed down with a roar onto the trembling Nine Heavens Battle Formation!

The five Nine Heavens cultivators' eyes widened to the brink, screaming in despair, they exhausted their remaining strength to drive the Battle Formation, attempting a final resistance, yet they all knew it was like a mantis' arm against a chariot.

However—

Just as the jet‑black great seal was about to fall, and the shadow of death completely enveloped the five at the brink of annihilation!

The anomaly exceeded everyone's expectations!

Somewhere in the Void, thousands of li away from the battlefield, a Black Robe Figure that had been calmly hovering, watching the star sea scenery, sensed the desperate aura of the Nine Heavens cultivators and the Corpse Clan's nauseating evil divine technique; the tranquility in its deep eyes was instantly replaced by a chilling, bone‑piercing frost!

Not a moment's hesitation!

Not even a greeting to the nearby Geshu Wenyue!

Ye Wuque simply raised his right hand.

Then, toward the battlefield thousands of li away where Corpse Qi roiled, he, from a distance, gently slapped a palm.

The movement was casual, light as clouds and breeze.

As if merely brushing away non‑existent dust from his sleeve.

But the instant his palm struck—

Boom—!!!

With Ye Wuque's palm as the origin, the vast star sea Void ahead surged like a lake struck by a massive stone, suddenly raising towering waves!

No, that wasn't an energy wave, but… Space itself being forced, compressed, folded, and driven by an indescribable terrifying force, forming a Space tsunami!

A Golden Great Hand of incomprehensible vastness and majesty materialized out of thin air!

The hand was not an energy‑condensed illusion but seemed woven from the purest force and Dao, its palm lines clear as the rifts of heaven and earth, fingertips streaming the light of Chaos's inception, and its palm displayed terrifying visions of endless stars being born and dying, the universe's Reincarnation unfolding!

The moment the Golden Great Hand appeared, the star‑sea waves within a hundred thousand li instantly solidified!

All chaotic law fluctuations were forcibly suppressed!

Even the shattered temple's illusion quivered violently, nearly disintegrating!

It traversed thousands of li as if slipping through time and space, arriving before the cause, appearing between the jet‑black Decayed Bone Seal and the five Nine Heavens cultivators!

Then, a gentle grasp.

Yes, not a collision, not a strike.

Just… a gentle grasp.

Like an adult holding a mud pellet tossed by a child.

Crack... Pfft!

That seal, exuding a torrent of Corpse Qi and powerful enough to grievously wound a typical nine‑tribulation quasi‑Immortal, could not even sustain a tenth of a breath in the Golden Great Hand's palm, and was effortlessly… crushed like a fragile crystal sphere!

There was no earth‑shaking explosion, only a faint muffled thud.

The jet‑black Corpse Qi, twisted faces, poisonous Grievance... all the evil forces comprising the Decayed Bone Seal, under the Golden Great Hand's sun‑bright, steel‑strong pressure imbued with supreme Chaos power, melted, purified, and vanished into nothingness like ice under scorching sun!

"What?!"

Shi Ritian's cruel smile froze instantly, replaced by incomparable horror and disbelief!

Though he did not unleash his full strength with the Decayed Bone Seal, he still used seventy percent, confident that no one could stand against him at the nine‑tribulation level!

How could it possibly be so casually... crushed by someone?!

However, the scene that almost extinguished his Soul Fire was still to come!

After crushing the Decayed Bone Seal, the Golden Great Hand did not dissipate but, maintaining momentum, moved forward... with a gentle sweep.

Like a giant brushing dust off a table.

The motion remained gentle.

Yet the effect was terrifying to the extreme!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying force, irresistible, as vast as the star sea reversed, as heavy as the collapse of the Wangu Shenshan, erupted with a roar as this sweep occurred, like an invisible apocalyptic torrent, instantly sweeping the area where the eight Corpse Clan Heavenly Pride stood!

"No—!!!"

Shi Ritian let out a scream of extreme anguish, he wildly Burn Primordial Corpse Qi, ancient corpse markings proliferated over his body, and a broken bone armor radiating terrifying aura instantly enveloped him, attempting to resist.

The other seven Corpse Clan Heavenly Pride, their wandering souls all exposed, each employed tactics: some transformed Corpse Qi Escape Light to flee, some summoned protective relics, some screamed and unleashed forbidden arts...

But before the power of that Golden Great Hand's gentle sweep, all resistance seemed so laughable.

Bang bang bang bang—!!!

As if struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, eight Dark Shadows, almost at the same moment, like kites whose strings have been cut, surged and shot outward in all directions at speeds ten to a hundred times faster than before!

The protective Corpse Qi on their bodies shattered like paper, the summoned secret treasure wailed and exploded, and the divine arts they performed vanished like smoke.
