379. The Emperor's Corpse Revives-Terrifyingly Powerful!

The earthquake trembled.

The terrifying aura resurfaced, causing Lu Changsheng's expression to change.

"Who has been resurrected?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Black Tortoise and asked this question.

"Brother, do you even need to ask? It's that one."

"That one?"

Lu Changsheng was a little confused.

"That one, that one!"

Black Tortoise was so anxious that he started to stutter.

"Um, um? Just tell me the name."

Lu Changsheng was getting a little angry. It was bad enough that Black Tortoise had green hair, but it couldn't even speak properly.

"Oh my, this is the owner of this tomb!"

Black Tortoise took a deep breath and then spoke quickly.

"Oh, you should have said so earlier, why all that 'that'?"

Lu Changsheng immediately understood, but he was also a little angry. It was bad enough that Black Tortoise was covered in green hats, but it was also making jokes about him.

"Let's run!"

Black Tortoise spoke, sounding somewhat anxious.

"Can we run?"

Lu Changsheng immediately perked up. Grabbing the treasure and running away was such a wonderful thing.

"It should be possible. I tampered with things beforehand, so we can escape this place. Boss, shall we run?"

Black Tortoise said with great excitement.

"Okay, but what about my friends?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

If he could run, he'd be the first to slip away, but it's still necessary to ask his other friends.

"Brother, you may not know, but I'm a bit petty when I'm playing the turtle, so it's impossible for me to have any backup plans. The formation can only hold two people. That's only because I considered that if this treasure is too big, I might not be able to take it with me."

Black Tortoise said somewhat awkwardly.

This answer left Lu Changsheng a little bewildered.

Are you sure he's come back to life?

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

He was conflicted.

There are many of my friends in this large tomb, such as Tianji Zi, Li Shanshi, Golden Crow Crown Prince. If I were to run away, to be honest, their fate would probably be very tragic.

"It's possible they've been resurrected, but I can't be sure."

Black Tortoise replied that he indeed couldn't be sure.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was caught in a dilemma.

"Big brother, you're not planning to stay here and rescue them, are you?"

Black Tortoise was stunned, and he looked at Lu Changsheng and asked him this question.

"Kindness."

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then gave an affirmative answer.

After all, we were destined to be together, and it would be too heartless to just let it go.

Although he jokes around and runs away when danger strikes, Lu Changsheng wouldn't do that when he's actually in danger.

The white robe trembled.

Lu Changsheng sighed and said, "Do you know where they are?"

"Big brother, seriously? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Black Tortoise really didn't know what to say. Logically speaking, he should just run away now.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly.

He's afraid of dying! But he'll still choose to save people.

Of course, Lu Changsheng didn't dare to go to the rescue because he wanted to be a hero. He had a trump card: the Chaos Bell was his strongest trump card. Although he didn't know if that thing would actually work, it should offer a glimmer of hope.

Most importantly, Lu Changsheng believed that luck was always on his side.

What haven't I encountered over the years?

What can a mere Emperor Corpse do?

"Sigh! Never mind, never mind. Once you call me 'Big Brother,' you'll be my 'Big Brother' for life. I'll take you to find them, but you must remember, Big Brother, we've been through life and death together. You can't forget me."

Black Tortoise said this through gritted teeth.

Lu Changsheng glanced at him. Although this Black Tortoise was a bit unreliable, he still had some backbone.

But what about the eldest brother?

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious.

Black Tortoise seemed to sense Lu Changsheng's curiosity and immediately said, "Big brother, I've thought it through. I'll follow you, but I want to make it clear beforehand that I want to be the second brother."

Black Tortoise said earnestly.

If I don't follow Lu Changsheng, who else should I follow? He gets Law Treasure every ten steps, and mounts come to me uninvited. If I don't follow someone with such heaven-defying luck, I'd be blind.

"I already have quite a few mythical beasts, I'm afraid you won't even rank second."

Lu Changsheng said that it was a good thing that Black Tortoise was willing to follow him, after all, who wouldn't want something given away for free?

"Not second place? Then where? Third? Fourth? You can't possibly make me fifth, can you?"

Black Tortoise wasn't too surprised, after all, he had already made preparations, but he would still fight for the position if he could.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment. The Qilin was ranked first, the Dragon Horse second, and the Shan Ting third. Logically speaking, this one should be ranked fourth.

The problem is that the Qilin is Nine Tribulation Divine Beast, which is a total of nine divine beasts. We've seen the Yin-Yang Panda and the Golden Crow before. Although both of them are silly, they should still be ranked fourth or fifth, right?

As for the others, although I haven't seen them, it's not unreasonable to rank the Dragon and Phoenix sixth or seventh, right?

After all, these are the top two ranked divine beasts among the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts. To be honest, we wouldn't be happy if they were ranked lower.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng looked at Black Tortoise and said, "You can only rank eighth!"

"Eighth?" Black Tortoise was stunned. He immediately felt indignant. He was the innate Black Tortoise, born from heaven and earth, and accompanied by an unparalleled array. You want me to rank fifth? Are you kidding me?

Who are the top seven?

Black Tortoise asked, somewhat Qi Ingestion.

"Qilin, Dragon Horse, Shan Ting, Yin Yang Panda, Three-legged Golden Crow, True Dragon, True Phoenix," Lu Changsheng said slowly.

Black Tortoise was stunned for a moment.

Did I really guess everything correctly?

He Qi Ingestion the Qilin was ranked first, and he was also convinced that the Longma was ranked second. He was convinced that the Shan Ting was ranked third, perhaps because of their good relationship. As for the other divine beasts, Black Tortoise thought about it carefully and really didn't have anything to say.

You might not be convinced, but there's nothing to be convinced about.

If you can convince me, then I'll accept it.

"Eighth brother it is, but big brother, we're in this together, you can't favor one over the other."

Black Tortoise continued to chatter on and on.

"Okay! Hurry up and gather everyone over."

Lu Changsheng was a little annoyed. Was this Black Tortoise a chatterbox?

"No need to summon them, they've already reached the finish line. Brother, I'll take you there."

After saying this, Black Tortoise quickly climbed onto Lu Changsheng's shoulder, then tapped its claws, and a green light appeared on the ground in an instant.

"Brother, this is the route to the end. I've already sent your friends there."

Black Tortoise spoke in this way.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Changsheng nodded, relieved to know that his friends were not in any danger.

Without a word, Lu Changsheng stepped on the green line and left the place directly.

Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived at a tunnel.

"This is the route to the Main Tomb. Brother, you must be very careful. I'm not being long-winded, but the owner of this tomb is indeed very strong. I saw him in the last era; he was a true Immortal Emperor at the Great Perfection."

Black Tortoise spoke, and he said this.

Lu Changsheng nodded. An era is 1,080,000 years, while an age is 10,800 eras.

In other words, this Immortal Emperor nurtured his corpse with the power of heaven and earth for a full 11.664 billion years.

This is only based on one era. What if one was born before that era?

My scalp is tingling.

"How strong will this guy be once he's resurrected? Will he be even stronger than before?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

Black Tortoise nodded and offered a rational analysis.

"Brother, generally speaking, a corpse nurtured by the heavens and earth is easily assimilated by the heavens and earth. With the feng shui of this place, it is impossible to nurture an Emperor Corpse that transcends an era. But it is because of this bead that it has not been assimilated. As for how strong it is, I am not very clear."

"However, it will be stronger than before. What's even more terrifying is that the clearer his mind is, the stronger he will be. If his mind is unclear, he will be weaker. Of course, once such Emperor Corpse is conceived, the Heavenly Dao will not allow it. This is forcibly defying the Heavenly Dao."

"At that time, he will suffer a fatal blow from the Heavenly Dao. In fact, the difficulty of nurturing an invincible Emperor Corpse and being reborn is no less than your cultivation to become an emperor again, or even more difficult. But it seems that he dares to defy the Heavenly Dao because of this bead."

"So I didn't really recommend you go in the first place. After all, he's been born, and he'll inevitably be killed by the Heavenly Dao. If you still want to go, I'm afraid you might..."

Black Tortoise stopped talking at this point.

Lu Changsheng immediately understood what Black Tortoise meant, but he frowned and then continued to ask.

"Do you know his background?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

He called himself the Star Emperor.

Black Tortoise answered in this way.

Star Emperor?

The name sounds impressive, but he doesn't recognize it.

Soon, however, Lu Changsheng saw many totem statues inside the tunnel.

These totems appeared extremely ancient, without any written characters, and were somewhat abstract, but Lu Changsheng still examined them carefully one by one. After all, knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

The first totem is a boy standing under a huge ancient tree.

The second totem depicts an ancient tree blossoming and bearing fruit, with a boy climbing up its branches.

The third totem appears to be a totem about stars.

The fourth totem depicts scenes of fighting.

The fifth totem depicts a young man standing amidst the stars, eventually attaining immortality and becoming an celestial emperor.

The sixth totem depicts a boy heading towards a vast ocean, but upon reaching it, he disappears.

The seventh totem depicts a young man who came here and, because of a stone lotus, ultimately chose to perish here.

Lu Changsheng watched very carefully, afraid of missing a single detail.

Clearly, this is a self-narration.

When this person was young, he saw a tree, and then the ancient tree blossomed and bore fruit. After the young man devoured the fruit, his cultivation level soared, and he defeated all the heroes in the world. But in the end, no one knows where he went, and it is estimated that he suffered some fatal blow.

Finally, he found this place and buried himself there.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but frown.

Through the totem, Lu Changsheng could sense that this guy hadn't been an Immortal Emperor for very long, because he still looked like a boy.

Of course, this is just speculation.

A young immortal emperor should have had a bright future and an unparalleled destiny, but he went nowhere and suffered a setback.

In other words, there are beings in this world stronger than the Celestial Emperor.

Moreover, the opponent is extremely strong; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to undermine the confidence of a young Immortal Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but look at Black Tortoise Dao.

Was he injured when he appeared before you?

Lu Changsheng asked.

Black Tortoise shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, after all, I was too young at the time. But I can guess his idea: to use the treasure to nurture the corpse for an era, and then revive it, take the treasure with him, and leave this place."

Black Tortoise answered seriously.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng became curious.

What exactly happened that would make a Celestial Emperor choose to perish here, thus requiring him to reincarnate?

Never mind!

After thinking for a long time, Lu Changsheng still couldn't come up with any reason. Now, all he had to do was face the past.

After all, the best way to defeat fear is to face it! Go for it!

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and continued forward with Black Tortoise.

The tunnel is very long.

Lu Changsheng walked for about fifteen minutes.

Finally, he reached the end.

Stepping out of the tunnel, familiar faces soon appeared before me, or more accurately, floated before my eyes.

Millions of cultivators, surrounded by the Star Power, floated in the air, fast asleep.

Tianji Zi, Li Shanshi, Golden Crow Crown Prince, Supreme Mysterious, Ye Rujin, Champion Marquis, Peacock King, and millions of others felt as if they were floating in the air, radiating brilliant light like stars.

Not far away, a mahogany coffin was also floating in the air.

The entire coffin was filled with an ominous aura, which was terrifying.

To Lu Changsheng's surprise, there were no formations or decorations in the Main Tomb; everything seemed very ordinary, just like a very ordinary cave.

"Big brother! That guy is probably in the coffin."

Black Tortoise swallowed hard.

He trembled all over, feeling a strong aversion to this ominous aura.

"He shouldn't be awake yet, right?"

Lu Changsheng wasn't afraid of anything, he was just a little curious.

But just then...

Creak!

Creak!

Creak!

The redwood coffin moved.

Squeak!

The coffin lid slowly fell, and soon a figure slowly appeared in Lu Changsheng and Black Tortoise's eyes.

Inside the Red Coffin lay an old man, a skeleton, skin and bones, looking utterly disgusting.

The old skin stuck to the bone exuded a putrid smell, like a living dead, making people nauseous.

Moreover, he was only covered by a blanket, which was covered with scriptures, but it was unknown what those scriptures were.

Click click click!

Click click click!

But at that very moment, the figure inside the Red Coffin moved.

In an instant, the cultivators suspended in the air began to flash with light. They had awakened, each one filled with astonishment.

Everyone looked terrified. They wanted to speak, but their voices wouldn't come out. They wanted to use their divine power to break free of the restraints, but they were powerless to do so.

This is the method of the Celestial Emperor. The strongest here is only a Celestial Venerable. Even if the Golden Crow Crown Prince can fight against a Celestial Saint, what can he do?

In the eyes of the Immortal King, even immortal saints are nothing more than ants.

Even the Immortal King is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the Celestial Emperor.

In other words, these people are the lowest of the low.

Struggle! Fear! Despair! Gleamed in everyone's eyes.

They were terrified; even the Golden Crow Crown Prince and his entourage looked extremely pale.

They never expected to encounter such a thing.

But what made them even more desperate was that the skeletons inside the coffin actually moved.

In other words, there really is an Emperor Corpse buried here.

Despair!

Despair!

A profound despair!

No one can defeat an Emperor Corpse. Even if an Immortal King personally came here with Immortal Emperor Artifact, it would probably be of no use.

Unless there are ten Immortal King wielding ten Immortal Emperor Artifacts, it would be of no use at all.

At this moment, the cultivators floating in the air kept making sounds, but Lu Changsheng couldn't hear what they were saying, while they could hear it themselves.

"There really is an Emperor Corpse here! We've been doomed!"

Supreme Mysterious clenched his fists, his tone filled with resentment.

"Oh well, this is fate. I'm doomed here."

Champion Marquis took a deep breath, his eyes filled with despair.

"Everyone, it's not the final moment yet. Our sect's seniors will surely break through the Immortal Emperor's Tomb and rescue us. Don't be discouraged."

Ye Rujin spoke up, telling everyone not to be so discouraged.

"Our only hope now is Senior Brother Lu."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince stared at Lu Changsheng and said this.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Lu Changsheng is now the only hope.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just afraid he can't save us either."

Gu Zhentian sighed and said this.

"Gu Zhentian, even now you're still criticizing Senior Brother Lu? Everyone, take a closer look. Senior Brother Lu has a Black Tortoise on his shoulder. I think the previous Array Ghost was this guy. In other words, after Senior Brother Lu subdued the Array Ghost, he could have easily escaped this place on his own, but he didn't choose to escape. Instead, he came to save us. For this reason alone, from now on, if anyone dares to say a bad word about Senior Brother Lu, I, Supreme Mysterious, will fight them to the death!"

"Supreme Mysterious roared."

"That's right, Senior Brother Lu did come back to save us. I, Golden Crow Crown Prince, will remember this kindness."

Golden Crow Crown Prince nodded.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu is simply like someone who knowingly walks into danger. I, Champion Marquis, will remember this great kindness and righteousness."

"Such kindness will never be forgotten."

Ye Rujin nodded, agreeing with Supreme Mysterious's statement.

"Brother Lu, although we cannot live together, we can die together today, and I have no regrets."

The Peacock King sighed. It wasn't that he was feeling sorry for himself; it was just that in the current situation, even the gods couldn't help him.

"I never thought I, Zhao Chen die here today! Waaaaah! How many secret realms have I visited in my life? Although I haven't gained a single benefit, at least I've visited just as many secret realms as anyone else. Waaaaah, I have no regrets in dying."

Amidst the crowd, Zhao Chen's cries were filled with sorrow.

"That's right, you're right. I, Gu Zhentian, am jealous of him. I'm so angry. I'm so outstanding, but I never expected to meet someone even more outstanding than me, Lu Changsheng. He's more handsome than me, and his cultivation level is higher than mine. Wherever he goes, female cultivators admire and respect him, while I can only watch silently from the sidelines. Waaaaah, I'm so upset."

"Supreme Mysterious, you say I'm jealous of Senior Brother Lu, but how could I not want to be Senior Brother Lu's friend? I want to too, but I can't let go of my pride. Now that we're all going to die, I'm not afraid anymore. I'm just jealous! I'm just envious!"

"I, Gu Zhentian, also want to be Senior Brother Lu's follower! Even if it's just being a follower, I'm willing, sob sob sob!"

Gu Zhentian erupted, and his words, spoken one by one, startled everyone.

Such a proud and outstanding person, I never expected that he would also have the heart of a sycophant.

But, at that moment...

Suddenly, a series of sounds rang out from inside the Red Coffin.

"Aba! Aba! Aba!"

An ancient voice rang out, as if it had just been revived; the voice came from the withered bones, deep and terrifying.

This sent chills down the spines of all the cultivators present.

Lu Changsheng, however, was stunned.

I went for a physical exam today and am waiting for the results. I was a bit unlucky; I have a stomach ulcer, which is why I'm updating so late.
