Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1128 - 683: Emperor’s Corpse

"Boom!!!"

Sword Light came sweeping across, dazzling and bright, traversing time and space, colliding on an equal realm, an equal level with that withered and dark hand, creating a silent booming and violent ripple.

Then, that hand trembled violently, and its withered fingertips splattered a gush of thick blood.

It is said to be a gush, but it looked like a single drop since the blood was too viscous. It splattered from the fingertip and then stuck back together, appearing as just one drop.

This drop of blood was not a bright red but a dark purple, seemingly devoid of any vitality or life force, yet it carried an inexplicable aura, emanating a daunting power, as if it weighed thousands of pounds. Its fall almost caused space to collapse, and upon reaching the ground, it dyed the earth a dark purple hue.

This is the heart of Yousu Country, built atop a Ninth Order Spirit Vein, not presumed to be an Immortal Field or Divine Soil, but it could still be considered a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, every inch saturated with the workings of Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit.

However, after the fall of this drop of blood, the Spiritual Mechanism was extinguished entirely; all was rendered silent and dead. The originally vibrant Cave Heaven Blessed Land turned directly into Fengdu Netherworld, with the power of the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit completely absorbed and transformed by the principle of "death."

Terrifying as such, terrifying indeed!

Yet behind such terror, that withered and dark hand recoiled, retreating back into the boundless darkness, seemingly injured.

All of this seemed long to describe, but it happened in just an instant, even faster than a flash of lightning. Although everyone’s eyes caught the sight, their minds couldn’t keep up or react, not even knowing what had occurred.

Only Yousu Yu, the True Immortal, was barely able to keep up, grasping the organic reason for the events. But that was all; by the time she snapped back to her senses, everything had already calmed down. That withered and dark hand was reclaimed by the dark, that majestic Sword Light nowhere to be seen, leaving only one person standing in front, facing the boundless torrent of darkness.

Who was this person?

But there he was, a figure in light green robes, as carefree as the wind and clouds, almost ethereal, existing amidst this world of mortal dust yet seemingly not of this world, exuding a dominant presence that seemed to suppress heaven and earth, making all else seem insignificant, like mere dust, inconsequential...

Even for a Nine Tribulations True Immortal who had experienced endless ages, such a scene at this moment left Yousu Yu somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

Just then...

"Clan Leader!"

The void had not yet healed but instead solidified, forming a gateway. Several people hurriedly emerged through it and arrived by Yousu Yu’s side: Meng Fanying, Yousu You, Eastern Emperor Haoyue, and Lu Chenyuan, along with other Academy Tribulation Immortals.

"You’er, Haoyue?"

Looking at Yousu You and Eastern Emperor Haoyue’s figures, as well as Meng Fanying and other Academy Monks, Yousu Yu also showed a look of surprise, and then turned her gaze back to the figure in the front: "He is...?"

Although she had seen the Master of Ten Thousand Paths during the battle at Hehe Mountain, it was just that—a sighting without any contact. Even after Yousu You facilitated multiple cooperations between the Yousu Clan and the Wandao School, she, the Yousu Fox Ancestor, had not had the chance for deep interactions with him, not even a glimpse of him.

So at this moment, Yousu Yu dared not be certain if the person before her was indeed the Master of Ten Thousand Paths.

If so, how could all this be explained?

Could the reinforcement from the East Emperor Palace actually be from the Wandao School?

Could the rumors be true, that You’er, this young girl, is a Reincarnated Body, and even her husband, Eastern Emperor Haoyue, the Eastern Emperor Taoist...

Yousu Yu’s mind was filled with shock and doubts.

Seeing her in such a state, Yousu You found it unwise to explain and instead changed the subject: "We must focus on facing the enemy, we will discuss the rest later."

Hearing this, Yousu Yu snapped back to awareness and quickly refocused her attention.

In front, the two armies stood facing each other. Although the withered and dark hand had retreated, the relentless assault of the countless Underworld Soldiers on the city’s defenses did not slow down and continued to hit fiercely.

Seeing this, Yousu Yu entered the battlefield immediately, with Yousu You and the three others leading the Academy Monks into the fight. A formation of Immortal Spirit Mech Armor appeared, and coupled with the counterattack of the Xuanling Array, they finally stabilized the front line, keeping the assault of the countless Underworld Soldiers at bay.

"Kill!!!"

Seeing the offensive gesture, the countless Underworld Soldiers acted decisively, and the battle cry rose again, the spears thrust forward.

Extreme Dao divine might!

The dark spears spilled blood in the sky. Although they were partially broken weapons, they still possessed a third of their divine might, enough to draw blood from a True Immortal.

Such ferocious weapons, when directed at everyone, caused Yousu Yu’s gaze to sharpen. She was about to step forward when someone took the lead. An Ancient Mirror emerged, still covered with rust, but the cracks on its surface had diminished significantly, clearly having been restored.

Imperial Arms—Void Mirror!

Equally damaged and steeped in the Extreme Dao, the Void Mirror reflected a Divine Light that instantly devoured the murderous spears and swept across the enemy ranks, causing many Underworld Soldiers to dissolve into nothingness.

The difference in might was clear!

In terms of rarity, Taoist Soldiers might surpass Imperial Arms, but in terms of power, Imperial Arms were indeed a notch stronger.

The terror of a Taoist Soldier not only lies in the soldier itself but also in the individual behind it; someone who has reached the pinnacle, capable of refining a personal Imperial Arm and personal guard Taoist Soldier. Without this support, the power of a Taoist Soldier would inevitably be lesser than that of an Imperial Arm.

This was also the case here; they both may be damaged artifacts, but the Void Mirror, restored by Xu Yang, was evidently superior to these Underworld Soldiers with their mysterious condition. Wielded by Lu Chenyuan, who had reached the Seven Calamity Realm, it could display up to forty percent of its Extreme Dao divine might, effortlessly matching a True Immortal. It was one of the current main combat forces of the Wandao School.

Lu Chenyuan used the Void Mirror to block the Underworld Soldiers’ Extreme Dao attack. Meng Fanying, Yousu You, Miss Xin Shisi, and others also took action. The Wisdom Sword moved unhindered, the Imperial Bell resonated, Buddhism and Taoism together, and various Divine Powers were unleashed without reserve, turning countless Underworld Soldiers into dust.
