Meanwhile.
The farther Li Zhōujūn and Yan Xuanqing walked, the fewer people there were ahead of them, while the cultivation realms grew higher.
Suddenly, a scene appeared before them: a group of cultivators surrounding an area in a circle, sitting on the ground.
These cultivators were almost all Ninth-Rank Immortal Venerables. Even Xiao Feng, the Imperial Son of the True Sword Ancient Clan, was among them.
The cultivators had surrounded what was, in the truest sense of the word, a mountain of corpses.
A ten-thousand-zhang mountain of corpses piled up from the remains of the Demon Race.
Atop the mountain sat a white-robed man with a sword held in his arms, quietly seated on its summit.
The white-robed man's eyes were tightly shut. Although he was as motionless as the mountain of corpses, a piercing Killing Intent still surged into the heavens. Within that overwhelming Killing Intent, the faint roar of sword intent could also be heard.
"That's the Sword-Holding Immortal Emperor!" Yan Xuanqing said in shock when she saw the white-robed figure.
As expected of an Immortal Emperor powerhouse. Even after enduring the passage of who knew how many years, his corpse remained lifelike.
Yan Xuanqing explained, "Mr. Li, before entering the Emperor's Demise Battlefield, I actually consulted the records regarding this place. Although all of them were rather vague, the records about the Sword-Holding Immortal Emperor, who once severed the heads of three Third-Rank Demon Emperors with a single sword strike, were relatively detailed.
"Although the Sword-Holding Immortal Emperor was only a Third-Rank Immortal Emperor, his cultivation was extraordinarily powerful. After killing three Third-Rank Demon Emperors, he charged into the melee once more, cutting down countless Demon Race Immortal Venerables. Even powerhouses at the Immortal Emperor realm fell beneath his feet, eventually forming this mountain of demon bones!
