"Roar!"

With a thunderous roar, the mountain piled high with corpses shattered apart. Countless rocks broke loose and poured downward.

Immediately afterward, a fissure split open in the mountain. Through it, one could vaguely make out a burial chamber within the collapsed belly of the mountain. Then, an iron-blue claw thrust out, swelling larger and larger in midair until it became a heaven-supporting giant claw that grabbed at a figure in the sky.

Anyone touched by it would have their entire body rot away at once, while their soul would be drawn into the corpse qi, further amplifying its power.
