Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1152 - 1138: Battle with the Demon Corpse Emperor

"A corpse ten thousand years old?"

Xiao Yi’s eyes immediately narrowed upon seeing the corpse rising from the golden ancient coffin, a look of shock flickering in his gaze.

The longer a demon corpse exists, the more powerful it becomes.

A hundred years forms a corpse, a thousand years births a demon.

Once it reaches ten thousand years, it is crowned a Corpse King.

And ten thousand years...

That makes it a Corpse Emperor!

The sovereign of demon corpses!

The simplest way to differentiate the strength of a demon corpse is by the demonic Qi emanating from its body.

Regular demon soldiers emanate pure black Qi.

A ten-thousand-year corpse king displays black tinged with crimson.

As for a Corpse Emperor, its Qi carries traces of golden amid the black and crimson.

The demonic Qi swirling around this demon corpse was gold-tinged within red-black hues, a sinister yet regal blend. Xiao Yi’s expression drastically changed at the sight of the Corpse Emperor.

The most critical point lies in the fact that Corpse Emperors are nearly impossible to eradicate.

Even a Corpse King can be incapacitated by destroying the coffin that it resides in.

But the Corpse Emperor is different.

Its physical form has fused entirely with the coffin, and after ten thousand years of demonic Qi refinement, its body is virtually indestructible. Even someone at the Sacred Venerate Realm couldn’t hope to obliterate this Demon Corpse Emperor.

Buzz!

The moment the Corpse Emperor emerged.

Xiao Yi felt the ancient tomb within his body quaking even more violently, giving him clarity—it was this ten-thousand-year Demon Corpse Emperor that was drawing the tomb’s attention.

"Could it be that the tomb seeks to absorb it?" Xiao Yi pondered.

But just as this thought crossed his mind...

Roar!

The Demon Corpse Emperor abruptly opened its eyes—brilliant crimson orbs, spewing red light that felt nearly tangible.

With its mouth agape, it let out a low growl.

Its sharp golden fangs glinting like daggers sent chills down Xiao Yi’s spine.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The thundering roar from the Corpse Emperor triggered an eruption among the coffins lining the cliffside—ancient coffins bursting into fragments, releasing wave after wave of demon soldiers.

Most notably, the nine silver coffins released demon corpses—all of them Corpse Kings!

Each wielding power comparable to that of the Supreme Venerate Realm!

Roar...

The nine Corpse Kings charged straight toward Xiao Yi.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yi’s expression darkened as panic set in. There was no time to absorb the Corpse Emperor into the ancient tomb. He gripped the Red Sky Sword tightly and rose to strike, slashing toward the advancing corpse kings: "Sword Twenty-Three!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Endless sword light erupted, enveloping the sky, converging around Xiao Yi into a radiant Sword Qi Flower Lotus.

Energy surged and churned upon the lotus petals.

Spinning continuously.

The immense, disc-like Sword Qi formation formed a barrier, keeping the nine Corpse Kings beyond its reach.

But the Corpse Kings’ bodies were unnervingly tough.

Even the sharpness of Sword Qi couldn’t cut through them.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Emperor had fully awakened, its crimson gaze fixed viciously upon Xiao Yi, ready to strike at any moment. Bracing himself, Xiao Yi roared: "One Sword to Shock the Heavens!"

Suddenly, the countless sword lights paused in mid-air, then accelerated toward him, converging rapidly.

Forming a colossal sword, over a hundred meters long.

The sheer sword light stretched like a towering pillar.

As Xiao Yi unleashed his slash, deafening cracks erupted—this gigantic sword violently cleaved into the cliffside itself.

Rumble!

The terrifying Sword Qi ripped the cliff—seemingly connecting heaven and earth—clean in half. The entire cliff quaked violently, massive cracks spread far and wide.

It felt like an earthquake.

Under the raging Sword Qi’s onslaught, coffin after coffin shattered explosively.

With this single sword.

Five of the Corpse Kings’ coffins had been smashed.

They lost their ability to fight.

The remaining four Corpse Kings surged forth, only to be intercepted by the timely arrival of the Warden of Hell and his squad. The warden turned to Xiao Yi: "Master, leave this to us."

"You need to deal with that thing."

Xiao Yi nodded decisively, showing no hesitation. Carrying the Red Sky Sword, he charged toward the Demon Corpse Emperor, which had already risen from its coffin: "One Sword to Break the Heavens!" freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Buzz!

The scarlet sword light spread like a phoenix, spanning miles.

It seemed capable of cleaving even the heavens apart.

However.

Facing such an overwhelming strike, the Demon Corpse Emperor let out a low growl, its arms trembling furiously as black-red-gold light erupted from its flesh.

Its fists surged forward, billions of fist shadows instantly filling the void.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fist shadows slammed down relentlessly, striking the sword light’s edge.

Red Sky Sword hummed and trembled.

Fist shadows shattered into fragments again and again.

Clang!

Sword edge and iron fists collided heavily—sharp against sharp.

Space seemed frozen in time.

Then came an explosion of overwhelming power.

Boom!

Xiao Yi and the Demon Corpse Emperor were both sent flying backward.

When Xiao Yi lowered his gaze to his Red Sky Sword, crack after crack marred its blade. His eyes widened in astonishment: "It’s a Ninth Grade primal weapon, and yet it broke just like that? How strong is this Demon Corpse Emperor’s body?"

The Demon Corpse Emperor was refined by demonic Qi for ten thousand years.

Its flesh had become akin to the toughest primal weapons.

Roar!

The Demon Corpse Emperor pounded its chest with both arms, unleashing earth-shaking roars. Its blood-red eyes locked onto Xiao Yi like a ravenous wolf savoring prey. Its golden fangs glistened malevolently, and with an explosive sound, it charged toward Xiao Yi once again.

Boundless demonic Qi enveloped its form.

The heavens themselves seemed to dim.

Swish!

Xiao Yi abruptly stashed the Red Sky Sword away. Licking his lips with a crimson tongue, he revealed a cold, cruel smile: "So you’re the Demon Corpse Emperor, huh? Let’s see if your demonic body is tougher than my Wind Thunder Holy Body!"

Boom!

With a burst of energy.

The power of Wind and Thunder coursed through Xiao Yi’s entire body, lightning crackling and spreading outward in golden arcs.

Wind-Thunder God Armor clothed his figure.

Xiao Yi gleamed with golden light, thunder swirling around him, standing like a War God. His Wind Thunder Wings flapped behind him as he lunged at the Demon Corpse Emperor.

Boom!

Their iron fists collided in mid-air.

The void trembled violently.

The horrifying shockwaves ruptured the cliffside behind them amidst thunderous explosions. Rocks scattered into the air like the end of days.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Xiao Yi and the Demon Corpse Emperor exchanged heavy blows repeatedly.

It was the ultimate clash of pinnacle physical strength.

Every strike shook the heavens and the earth, radiating terrifying power that left the Warden of Hell’s crew in awe.

Roar!

The Demon Corpse Emperor roared furiously, its hands clawing at Xiao Yi’s Wind Thunder Wings, tearing them off in an instant. This was the first time since Xiao Yi had crafted these wings that they’d been torn apart.

Ice-cold determination flickered in his eyes. With fists clenched, he struck hard at the Demon Corpse Emperor’s temple.

Bam! Bam!

Two deafening cracks echoed.

The Demon Corpse Emperor’s skull caved inward, compressed to half its original width.

But this did not hinder its movement.

Roar!

The Demon Corpse Emperor opened its blood-red maw, lunging to bite at Xiao Yi’s neck.

Xiao Yi was unyielding.

This was because...

The Corpse Emperor’s fangs carried venom!

Once bitten, even someone as formidable as Xiao Yi had no guarantee of survival.

"Wind Bind!"

From Xiao Yi’s palm erupted wild gusts, forming two colossal wind dragons that coiled around the Demon Corpse Emperor’s neck with a thunderous roar. Xiao Yi turned and skillfully hurled it to the ground.

He dove from the sky as the Demon Corpse Emperor was slammed onto the ground, the wind dragons entwining tighter from his palms.

Swish!

The Demon Corpse Emperor was violently lifted high by Xiao Yi.

And smashed again mid-air.

Xiao Yi kneed it—a devastating blow shattering its spine amid a thundering impact. His legs followed swiftly, raining strikes onto the Demon Corpse Emperor. Bam! Bam! The incessant sound of breaking bones filled the air as the Demon Corpse Emperor roared in pain.

Bone fractures echoed continuously.

"Invincible in battle!"

Golden fist shadows blotted the sky as blows poured onto the Demon Corpse Emperor’s head.

Roar...

Wailing horrifically, the Demon Corpse Emperor hurtled downward like an arrow.

But before hitting the ground...

It was once more yanked upward by Xiao Yi, and just as it reached mid-air, a meticulously prepared punch exploded forth: "Unyielding in offense..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless fist shadows struck the Demon Corpse Emperor relentlessly. Each collision was akin to a comet crashing, erupting with unimaginable destructive force. Amid catastrophic impacts, the Demon Corpse Emperor plummeted ferociously, rendered motionless upon striking the ground.

It was only then...

Xiao Yi summoned the ancient tomb, encasing the Demon Corpse Emperor within...
