Undying Remnant Soul

With the help of the Bodhi Tree, the three of them quickly memorized the Nine Secrets: Xing".

"Splash!"

Just then, a sound came from inside the huge ancient coffin, and then with a "whoosh," a large, emerald-green claw covered in corpse hair emerged.

"What is that? Has the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body really turned into a corpse?" Pang Bo was shocked.

Ye Fan also showed a look of shock as he looked at the claw that the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body had extended. Was this the so-called curse? Did he have to become like this even after he died?

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying claw, as large as a winnowing basket, emerged, covered in corpse hair and dripping with blood, inspiring fear and sending chills down one's spine!

"It's out..." The Xiao Nannan was almost crying in fright, hiding behind Ye Fan.

Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at the Xiao Nannan. What are you hiding for? You're the real boss!

"Thump!"

A majestic and towering figure stepped out of the ancient coffin, his eyes sharp and piercing like knives!

"Zhou Tong, can your Vajra Ring withstand the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body?" Pang Bo was also somewhat apprehensive.

"Whether we can withstand it or not doesn't matter. This Great Accomplishment Sacred Body definitely can't unleash its power. Do you think the Array Patterns on the Sacred Cliff are fake? Do you think the Array Patterns that Wu Shi the Great carved here are to prevent us from going up the mountain?" Zhou Tong was very calm, without the slightest sense of tension.

With the Wu Shi the Great's backup plan, the Undying Daoist will definitely be completely defeated; moreover, Ye Fan has the Azure Emperor Lotus transformed from the Azure Emperor's Essence Blood in his body, so Ye Fan will definitely be taken to comprehend the single secret realm method of the Sacred Body Lineage.

"Ye Fan can get great benefits. I brought him up here. There's no way he'd only get a Nine Secrets: Xing!" Zhou Tong's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered what other benefits he could get here.

Soon, a green Azure Lotus burst forth from Ye Fan's body, carrying his consciousness into the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

With the help of Qinglian, Ye Fan successfully took over the body of the Great Perfection Sacred Body and began to explore the single secret realm method of the Ancient Sacred Body lineage.

"Ye Fan, while you're at it, get that corpse and the Saint Weapon out of the coffin!" Zhou Tong called out.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan controlled the corpse of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and grabbed it in mid-air. Instantly, he lifted out a corpse with a scepter in its hand and its neck twisted, and threw it on the ground.

A moment later, the Azure Lotus, enveloping Ye Fan's divine sense, instantly returned to his body, hiding behind the seven-colored light curtain emitted by the Vajra Ring.

"My descendants..." At this moment, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body suddenly spoke, his voice strong and clear, like metal rubbing against stone.

His eyes blazed with intense light as he stared intently at Ye Fan, unblinking, and said, "Take me away!"

The Xiao Nannan was extremely nervous. She tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "There's a ghost inside him..."

Xiao Nannan truly lives up to her reputation as the Dao Fruit of the Ruthless Great Emperor; she saw through the soul of the Undying Daoist within the corpse of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body at a glance.

"You are my descendant, help me resurrect, take me away..." The voice was distant, as if it came from ancient times, possessing an irresistible magic.

However--

"Boom!"

The Sacred Cliff trembled, and a destructive aura burst forth from the mountainside, instantly enveloping the sky.

Wu Shi the Great launched his counterattack, and an arm appeared on the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods halfway up the mountain, directly shoving the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body back into the coffin in just a few moves.

Sacred Cliff quickly returned to peace, and the golden hand that the Investiture of the Gods had manifested disappeared, leaving only the corpse of the Heavenly Court Assassin Saint, still radiating a soaring Killing Intent.

"How can this person Killing Intent such murderous intent, as if he has slaughtered millions of lives!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty, the Lord of the Heavenly Court. He holds the supreme scepter of the Heavenly Court in his hand, which could almost command the world back then." Zhou Tong's eyes lit up. "This is the corpse of a saint, an unparalleled treasure. With it as material, the most terrifying Array Patterns can be laid out."

Zhou Tong's Vajra Bracelet flew to the corpse, turned slightly, and immediately collected the corpse along with the Heavenly Court Scepter. This was an unexpected gain; perhaps through this Saint-level corpse, one could comprehend the inheritance of the Assassin God Dynasty's Heavenly Court lineage.

They did not linger and continued down the mountain along the original path, preparing to leave this Sacred Cliff, which was by no means a good place, and that staying there for too long might lead to uncontrollable calamities.

Suddenly, when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we saw a person in the distance blocking our way.

His Daoist robe was quite ancient, unlike anything seen in the world today, and it was impossible to tell what era it came from; it was full of the marks of time.

"Is it that kind of thing again?" Pang Bo and Ye Fan were very nervous.

Zhou Tong shook his head.

Not the Emperor's Faith Body — the Undying Daoist —has finally appeared!

Although this was merely a tiny, insignificant remnant soul of the Undying Daoist...

In the past, the Undying Heavenly Emperor reigned supreme and collected a vast amount of Power of Faith. He refined this Power of Faith into an avatar— the Undying Daoist.

During the reign of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Undying Daoist handled some mundane affairs on his behalf, while he himself devoted himself to meditating on the Great Dao.

It can be said that in that era, the vast majority of people did not see the Undying Heavenly Emperor himself, but rather his embodiment of faith.

The Undying Daoist slowly walked up the mountain along the path. Everything about him was ancient and worn, and he himself was very old.

His purple-gold crown was dull and almost rotten, and his Daoist robe was about to turn to dust. He chanted Daoist incantations and had a compassionate expression.

"Esteemed benefactors, could you lend Dao Yi? I am willing to offer you the Nine Secrets... Boy, you're courting death!!"

The Undying Daoist initially tried to lure the others into helping him with the "Nine Secrets," but Zhou Tong was too lazy to listen to what he had to say and attacked directly.

"Boom!"

The Vajra Ring flew out, transforming into a millstone the size of a millstone, dazzling with seven colors, and unleashing a beam of Eternal Light that crashed into the Undying Daoist.

The Undying Daoist's face instantly contorted with Killing Intent. His gaze shot out, conjuring a world in the Nothingness, pressing forward.

"Boom!"

On the Vajra Ring, a circle of ripples appeared, with dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony. The ripples Myriad Laws Immunity and shattered the world evolved by the Undying Daoist!

"This Vajra Ring... it's alive! Could it be that a weapon is about to ascend to the Emperor's Path?" The Undying Daoist was shocked. As the substitute of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, he was naturally very clear that this Vajra Ring emitted an aura similar to the Undying Heavenly Blade, the aura of awakened Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.

"Snort!"

"It's just a weapon. Even if he's alive, so what?" The Undying Daoist snorted coldly, his ancient Daoist robes fluttering in the wind. He was like a bottomless ancient abyss, devouring all power.

At this moment, he was incredibly terrifying, emanating an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth. He stretched out a giant hand and reached forward, intending to turn the people in front of him into mincemeat.

A terrifying divine power erupted instantly, and even with the Vajra Ring protecting them, they couldn't withstand it. Zhou Tong was alright, only his body cracked, but Ye Fan and Pang Bo fared much worse; they collapsed to the ground, as if their primordial Divine Capital collapse.

"Fool! You dare to use the Emperor's Might? Heh heh, you're in for a world of hurt!" Zhou Tong sneered, enduring the pain in his body.

"Boom!"

Just then, a burst of light shone brightly from the mountainside of Sacred Cliff, and a golden glow shot out, striking the Undying Daoist and causing him to stumble and fall on the spot.

"You little brat Wu Shi!" The Undying Daoist stood up, staring at the golden glow in the Nothingness, his expression ferocious.

"Bang!"

The golden rays of light in the sky transformed into a giant golden hand and slammed down, knocking the Undying Daoist to the ground with a "bang."

"I hate it..." the Undying Daoist roared, forming hand seals and striking towards the sky.

"Thump!"

The giant hand didn't change anything; it pressed down, slapped him away, and then slammed him into the mountainside, cracking his body.

That was a devastating blow!

"Fool, you should have run when you saw me make my move!"

Zhou Tong remained calm and composed. From the moment he made his move, he had only one goal: to draw out the trace of imperial might within the Undying Daoist, so that the Wu Shi the Great could use his backup plan to suppress the Undying Daoist.

"Boom!"

Zhou Tong's Vajra Ring spun and struck the Undying Daoist with unparalleled divine power, like a vast waterfall cascading down, or a boundless ocean crashing down. The power made even the Undying Daoist change color.

He was, after all, just a weak primordial spirit, and he had been severely injured and suppressed by the Investiture of the Gods. He was now completely unable to withstand this extremely special Vajra Ring.

"Boom!"

The Vajra Ring struck the Undying Daoist, instantly causing the heavens and earth to collapse, ghosts to wail and gods to howl, the battlefield to shatter, and the Vajra Ring to transform the area into a Chaos Sea.

The Undying Daoist's wisp of primordial spirit instantly collapsed.
