The aura that shot skyward from the depths of Luotian Palace shook the heavens. The earth cracked and spread, revealing a pitch-black cavern so deep its bottom could not be seen, and even light could not shine into it.
Su Jie cast his gaze over and vaguely sensed the aura of immortal blood spreading through the dark cavern, carrying overwhelming Baleful Intent. The domineering might naturally radiating from the immortal blood alone made one's soul tremble.
This Killing Intent transformed into a monstrous tsunami, churning through the skies and spreading in all directions.
It seemed that the battle between Su Jie and the others had triggered Luotian Palace's instinctive response.
"Human Emperor—the Human Emperor has opened his eyes."
Before Su Jie could see what was in the dark cavern, Heavenly Venerate Xingyue spoke from beside him, her voice trembling slightly and laced with deep unease.
The Human Emperor Immortal Corpse, which had originally been sitting cross-legged atop the suspended stone peak, had already opened its eyes. Its pair of eyes shone with dazzling divine light, brilliant and scorching. The Baleful Intent that had spread outward immediately began to disintegrate, its radiance piercing through layer upon layer of the dark cavern and melting away all the darkness formed from the Killing Intent, revealing what lay within.
There, in the dark cavern, sat a jade mountain several dozen feet tall. Yet on closer inspection, calling it a jade mountain was not quite accurate. It looked more like the heartwood of some kind of fibrous tree, only it had taken on the appearance of jade.
Within the jade mountain was a vague blood-red outline, faintly humanoid, sealed inside the jade. It was like an insect frozen in amber, having endured countless eras before finally seeing daylight again today.
