Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1129 - 683: Emperor’s Corpse_2

```

People joined forces, suppressing the Underworld Soldiers; at the forefront, Xu Yang also made his move at this moment, pointing out with a sword that went straight for the Emperor Sword, splitting the darkness with a brilliant radiance, endeavoring to reveal the roots of his adversary.

For more than three thousand years, the Scholar’s Palace has established the Tao, and although it could not acquire the merit to save the world and refine the true Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword, it did not hinder Xu Yang from practicing the Xuanyuan Sacred Method. With a sword, it would naturally be best, but even without one, the might of the Holy Tao would not be impaired.

One could only see a ray of brilliance burst forth mightily, breaking into the enemy formation, dispelling boundless darkness.

This was the sword that commanded the Holy Tao to its extremity, the sword that displayed the laws of heaven and earth, the sword that united the hearts of humankind.

One sword, one world; Yin Yang and Five Elements, Nine Forms and Three Talents, all laws and Ten Thousand Dao, all encompassed within it.

Under the radiation of such luminescence, countless Underworld Soldiers could not endure, like frost and snow melting away in an instant under the sun, and the limitless darkness also dissipated, revealing a tall and lean silhouette.

One could only see the outline of the figure, not the face of Lushan, because there was still a piece of darkness, a piece of extreme, chilling, and deadly darkness covering him, and even the radiance of the Holy Sword struggled to dispel it.

Facing the incoming Holy Sword, an unparalleled divine peak, the silhouette did not retreat; instead, it raised its right arm, pointing out with resolution.

"Huff!!!"

As the arm raised and pointed out, the dark flow dissolved, revealing an arm, a withered, greenish-black arm. Under the grey-white robe, there appeared hairlike shadows, as if something was growing inside, emanating a sinister and ominous aura.

Such a demonic hand could still move the Great Dao, the moment it pointed out, heaven and earth were moved, as if Fengdu, the realm of the Governors, descended into the world of the living, merging with the realm of Yang, revealing the Dao and principles, intertwining laws and regulations, leading all Dao towards death, towards the end. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Such a hand, pointing out with resolution, faced the sharp edge of the Holy Sword, clashing in an ultimate confrontation.

"Boom!!!"

Instantly, there came a giant, silent explosion, and the surging waves rampaged, turning thousands of Underworld Soldiers into ash. The dark Yin current also rolled away, along with the Xuanyuan Holy Sword in mutual destruction, leaving only the tall and lean silhouette standing in the sky.

The Holy Sword shattered the Yin current, and as the darkness no longer shrouded it, it finally allowed the clear features of that silhouette to be revealed to the world.

However...

There were no features to be revealed!

The crowd focused their gaze, and immediately everyone was shocked, showing colors of terrified dismay.

They saw a person, a headless person, or should it be said... a headless corpse body?

Without a skull, only a body cloaked in a grey-white robe was visible, greyish-black skin with grey-white hairs growing atop, looking rigid and stiff. The overall presence was eerie and ominous, with a terrifying power surging within, seemingly both alive and dead.

A closer look at the area above the garment and the neck revealed a vast wound, as if some Divine Blade had severed the head, leaving only this terrifying mark, with dark purple blood congealed upon it. It was unclear how many eons and epochs it had withstood, but the terror of that murderous event still could be discerned.

Is this a corpse body?

This is indeed a corpse body!

Seeing this, the crowd was shocked. The True Immortal Yousu Yu was profoundly serious, and some Void Immortals from the Tribulation Realm even cried out in alarm.

"This is..."

"The Emperor’s Corpse!?"

"The Corpse Body of an Ancient Great Emperor!"

"That legend...is it actually true?"

A few Void Immortals from the Tribulation Realm exclaimed in disbelief, their fear indescribable in words, gone was the demeanor of Immortals.

But they couldn’t be blamed for such reactions, for the thing before their eyes was too terrifying, and the information it suggested was enough to make one despair.

Dark Chaos, a massive calamity for the living, an event spoken of in Divine Land, known to all as destined tribulation. But what kind of tribulation, what kind of turmoil, what Demon causing mischief, or evil spirits spreading terror, few could articulate, not even the Holy Land Immortal Sects or the Ancient Clans of Imperial Dynasties.

Being vague was not to be mysterious, but because they truly did not know, nor could they say what kind of Demon or evil spirit caused the turmoil.

For historical turmoil has taken different forms, with diverse experiences confronting various powers. The presence of Underworld Soldiers, dead yet tangible, was still better; some even more terrifying calamities were intangible, and some people didn’t even know what they had encountered before they were completely obliterated.

Therefore, the major powers couldn’t quite say where this Dark Chaos came from, what Demons or evil spirits were causing terror and mayhem, and could only do their best to collect information, share what they knew, and then record it in books.

Among these records, there was mention of a "the Emperor’s Corpse," described in legends.

The Emperor’s Corpse, the corpse of a Great Emperor!

```

In Primordial, Remote Antiquity, Ancient Times, and the present, Divine Land has undergone endless eras, within which untold numbers of powerful beings have emerged; even Ancient Great Emperors were not at the pinnacle, nor were they unique.

Just within the various archives, clearly recorded are the Primordial Immortals, Gods of Remote Antiquity, and Great Emperors from before and after Ancient Times, totaling more than a thousand, not to mention the countless unrecorded.

It goes without saying for Primordial and Remote Antiquity, when heaven and earth were connected, Immortals and humans dwelled together, and their whereabouts, even without clear records, can be anticipated to be in the Upper Realm.

However, for the times before and after Ancient Times, when Demon Stars perished, Divine Land submerged, and Ascension harbored numerous dangers, the whereabouts of these Ancient Great Emperors become quite intriguing.

True Immortals do not die, Earth Immortals do not perish; Ancient Great Emperors who’ve entered the realm of Extreme Dao, ordinarily speaking, should not have the possibility of dying out, but not one among the several hundred Great Emperors before and after Ancient Times remained in the world, leaving only Imperial Arms and legacies, while the persons themselves were thoroughly without traces, even during Dark Chaos, when Imperial Arms were lost, not one came forth to turn the tide.

Where exactly did these Ancient Great Emperors go?

No one knows; this has always been an unsolved mystery in Divine Land, with an answer hard to come by in people’s hearts.

Some say they broke through the void and Ascended to the Upper Realm.

Some say they secluded themselves in Secret Realms, seeking possibilities to break through.

Some say they hid and did not emerge to avoid terrifying enemies.

Others say they had already perished, slain by the unknown supreme beings behind the Demon Star’s fall.

Opinions vary, but all lack evidence, all without clues.

Until every time Dark Chaos came about, rumors of "Emperor’s Corpses" spread.

Emperor’s Corpses, the corpses of Great Emperors; amidst the Dark Chaos, Ancient Great Emperors’ Corpse Bodies walked, overthrowing many inheritances, slaughtering countless lives.

But these are only rumors, and whether they are true or false has always been inconclusive.

Until now...

Gazing upon that headless Corpse Body, everyone finally confirmed the veracity of these rumors.

For this reason, they lost their composure, so panicked and terrified they became.

After all, this was the Corpse Body of an Ancient Great Emperor!

Ancient Great Emperors, who once dominated the world, the existences that were invincible under the heavens, how could they turn into Corpse Bodies.

Who was it, what existence, killed him, severed his head?

And who was it, what existence, that turned him into a weapon of calamity during this Dark Chaos, slaughtering all around, bringing disaster to the world?

That kind of terror, that kind of existence, is it still within Divine Land?

Was this Dark Chaos provoked by it?

Behind everything, what really lies hidden?

People don’t know, but one thing is certain, there must be a terrifying truth behind it.

Even Ancient Great Emperors, invincible during their time, have thus fallen victim, reduced to dead bodies, let alone others; once this secret is unveiled, there must be an incredibly terrifying presence revealed to the world, and at that time, the fate of the Divine Land, billions of Cultivators, countless lives...

People dare not think deeper, for the more they think, the more terrifying it becomes, enough to make their Dao Heart tremble and waver.

Only Xu Yang remained unmoved, gazing at that headless Emperor’s Corpse, silent once more as he wielded the Holy Sword Divine Blade.

Dark Chaos, the great calamity of the common folk, the unknown terror, an existence capable of slaying Great Emperors?

It does sound terrifying indeed!

But what scene has he not seen?

Merely an Earth Immortal’s Corpse Body.

Mystic Yellow Realm, Azure Star Realm, Earth Immortal Realm, Boxun Mara, Primordial Heavenly Demon... and a great number of Heavenly Immortals up to Golden Immortals are waiting for him to settle, compared to those, what is this Emperor’s Corpse and the reasons behind it?

Debts do not oppress the one with many, lice are not itchy when numerous, no matter what it is, whatever cause and conspiracy it entails, Xu Yang has one attitude towards it all.

When soldiers come they will be blocked, when water rises it will be covered by earth, proceed and see what happens!
