Suddenly, the intrusion of outsiders disturbed this Burial Ground.
Two beams of gray light pierced through space, and the humanoid creature opened its eyes. Wherever its gaze passed, all the graves trembled, and a storm rose on the distant horizon, rushing straight into the vast ocean.
Black Emperor's face turned deathly pale, sensing impending doom. This feeling of despair, of reaching the very end, was something it had never experienced before, something it could neither perceive nor measure.
Its perception method is interfered with by unfamiliar laws.
The only certainty is that the opponent is absolutely capable of killing me.
One breath!
Just a breath.
The ghostly figure swept across in an eerie manner.
This time, the Black Emperor saw things clearly.
A chilling aura swirled in the sky, where a vengeful ghost-like creature, though humanoid, possessed a pair of purple wings. Its entire body was grotesque and covered in blood, especially its face, where its snow-white fangs were streaked with blood, and its ghostly eyes were crimson.
They looked like creatures that had been skinned alive; it was utterly horrifying.
It was very tall, about three meters high, with its entire body covered in exposed flesh and blood. It was half-rotten, and after being skinned and decayed, its original appearance was no longer discernible. Its eyes had no pupils, but eerie green flames flickered in their sockets, making it incredibly terrifying, as if it were a demon god that had walked out of Hell.
The moment this being approached, an overwhelming and terrifying aura surged down like a vast star field transformed into boundless will-o'-the-wisps, or like a soaring dragon roaring to the heavens and Qilin bellowing, sending chills down one's spine.
" The Ancient Jiangshi King..."
Black Emperor was nearly petrified, his back covered in cold sweat, and he recognized the creature at a glance.
The Jiangshi Clan, one of the powerful clans of the Mythological Era, is one of the strongest bloodlines of the Yin lineage, inspiring fear and infamous in ancient times, striking the vast ocean above and suppressing the deepest abyss below.
When a pure-blooded Ancient Jiangshi reaches its later stages, its roar can shatter the sky for thousands of miles, making it extremely terrifying. Moreover, because pure-blooded Ancient Jiangshi possess unparalleled physical strength, they have always been the best material for crafting puppets.
This race has always been known for its overwhelming killing intent, like judges from Hell, with a fearsome reputation that has resounded throughout history. There was once a Great Completion Zombie King who fought against an Ancient Heavenly Venerable on the eve of his Dao attainment. The two terrifying beings fought to the Cosmic Frontier, and even the Great Dao was obliterated.
Finally, the Great Ancient Jiangshi was killed, and the Ancient Heavenly Venerable was severely injured. After recovering from his injuries, he merged with the Heavenly Heart and wiped out the Ancient Jiangshi Clan with a single finger.
This also led to the fact that Ancient Jiangshi were little known, because there were very few records of them in ancient history, and they were almost unknown to later generations.
Legend has it that in an era even older than the mythological period, there once existed Ancient Jiangshi Emperor who ruled over the six directions and eight wastelands. It was an era in which the Nether Dao and the Ghost Dao intersected, but no one can prove that that era ever existed.
It was through Duan De that the Black Emperor learned about this race.
They practiced their skills by breaking through the tomb formation and splitting open the coffin, obtaining an Ancient Jiangshi at the Saint King level. The Wicked Daoist treasured it like a precious gem, which aroused Black Dog's suspicion, leading him to interrogate Black Dog about the history of the Jiangshi Clan.
An Ancient Jiangshi, comparable to a similarly leveled Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, possessing even more bizarre and unpredictable innate abilities, making it impossible to defend against.
The one before it was even more extraordinary, possessing wings, surrounded by ghostly light, and exuding a terrifyingly powerful aura; it was undoubtedly the King of the Ancient Jiangshi lineage.
He's far more powerful than that newly Quasi-Emperor from the Myriad Dragon Nest.
Even more terrifying, as this zombie king moved, countless Yin Tomb were also stirring, with one corpse after another emerging from the ground, dazed and confused, yet all exuding a terrifying aura.
Yet another powerful race— the Corpse Demon.
These beings are like Divine Body among the Human Clan, possessing powerful bloodlines. And their current numbers, at roughly speaking, number in the hundreds.
The Ancient Jiangshi lineage prefers to cultivate and refine powerful beings into Corpse Demon for their own use.
Please, do not speak of the matter of being granted a royal title.
One zombie achieves its goal, ten thousand corpses weep!
This is a record from a tattered ancient book, and a Perfect World depiction of the Ancient Jiangshi lineage driving ten thousand corpses.
"Pureblood Zombie King, Ancient Corpse Demon..."
Black Emperor screamed, his soul nearly leaving his body, his heart pounding with fear.
Even Quasi-Emperor of the seventh heaven might not be able to escape from this formation, let alone a mere Saint King.
It tried its best to use the secret word '', and its entire body turned into a black line, leaving only afterimages.
But before an Ancient Jiangshi King, all methods are futile.
The instant it ran away, a chilling, deathly aura locked onto the Big Black Dog. The next instant, a terrifying purple chain shot out, carrying a putrid stench, and rushed towards Black Emperor in a flash.
That speed was so fast that almost no one below the level of a high-ranking Quasi-Emperor could dodge such an attack!
" Shi Ming, save me!"
The stench of decay hit them, and the Big Black Dog's pupils constricted, its face turning deathly pale in an instant. All its confidence vanished, and a loud roar echoed across the surrounding area.
" Shi Ming, save me..."
Heavenly Mandate Palace, the Big Black Dog at the peak of the Saint King seemed to be possessed, suddenly roaring loudly, creating ripples of the Great Dao that spread throughout the palace and even beyond, reaching many people.
Everyone was astonished.
Ye Fan's expression changed drastically. He tried to use magic to intercept the sound, but the Black Emperor was using his full power. It wasn't a sound wave, but a soul roar. The sound had already moved with the space, and the two resonated with each other, maximizing the range of its propagation.
"Are you out of your mind?"
"How dare you address that esteemed person by their given name..."
For a moment, many Saint' expressions changed, and they looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that there would be such a madman at this time, daring to call the Master of the Time Hall by his name in the Great Luo Heaven.
At this moment, the twelve Saint of the Heavenly Pivot Manor were forced back, unable to withstand such a roar. The weak Ye Jin was even thrown away by the demon saint's roar, spitting blood. If it weren't for the secret treasure given to him by Ye Fan, he would surely have died at this moment.
Seeing that it was too late to stop the noise, Ye Fan's eyes sharpened as he checked the Black Emperor's current condition.
Seeing his greedy and delirious expression, almost like that of a madman, he frowned and shouted at the Big Black Dog, "Wake up!"
This loud shout incorporated the Six-Character Mantra of Buddhism, like the Taichu sound of the beginning of the universe. It rang out with a buzz, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. It was truly of boundless power, transforming into supreme sound waves that rushed into the crown of the Black Emperor's head, knocking on the Immortal Platform, demanding that the lost dog be brought back.
The waves of the Dao are vast and boundless, like the sea, forming Divine Bridge to guide people to the Other Shore.
But even such a powerful incantation technique was useless. The Black Emperor's face was filled with fear, and his expression trembled constantly, as if he had fallen into the most terrifying situation in his life, with his life hanging in the balance.
In its mind, it was being hunted down by a Quasi-Emperor zombie king of the seventh heaven and hundreds of ancient Corpse Demon comparable to Great Saint, and then captured.
Then, it was surrounded by demons, and terrifying Ghost Dao chains sealed everything off, binding it. A foul, rotten stench assaulted its senses as it faced the pure-blooded zombie king.
This nearly scared it to death; outside, its claws were frantically scratching at the floor in an unnatural way, the screeching sound jarring inside the hall.
This made Ye Fan's expression change; he felt it was a very troublesome situation.
Just when he was about to give it a try...
The master of the Mandate Palace on the steps shook his head and said, "It's useless. It's trapped in the Dust Illusion Technique, which is based on fear. The creature it conjures should be beyond the Great Saint Realm. Therefore, it's generally difficult to break free from it."
" The Dust Illusion Technique?"
Ye Fan was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a secret technique. However, it was clearly a type of illusion, involving the True Spirit of the Immortal Platform, which made things even more troublesome.
The others were even more astonished; such a secret technique actually existed?
That defies common sense.
If the Black Emperor conjures up images of Ancient Emperor and Supreme, does that mean only Great Emperor can save him?
"Let me do it."
The black-haired youth stood up, his pupils flashed, and his eyes rapidly changed, with the Sun-Moon, and stars passing by in succession, as vast and boundless as a black hole.
He stood up, slowly raised his hand, and pressed down with a finger towards the Black Emperor.
The mystery of his finger strike was indescribable. As he swept his finger across the void, the Void instantly transformed into a cosmic sea. Within the starry sky, nineteen thick waterfalls of Chaos cascaded down, carrying a terrifying aura.
Each Chaos waterfall exudes the aura of Quasi-Emperor, reaching far and wide, making it almost unbearable.
A Chaos waterfall cascaded down, powerful enough to slightly injure a Quasi-Emperor of the first level of heaven.
Nineteen Chaos waterfalls plunged down together, a sight that would likely force even a Quasi -Quasi-Emperor of the Third Heaven to retreat.
"Horrible..."
Hua Hua was shocked. Although she was very worried about her Uncle Black Emperor, she was still amazed by the power of the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
"That Quasi-Emperor in the Dragon Cave probably can't withstand these Chaos waterfalls."
He subconsciously compared the purple-haired old man who had just been in unparalleled glory and was being flattered by a group of Ancient Emperor Clans.
Then he shook his head.
How can you compare them?
The master of the Mandate Palace is even more amazing than his master!
Compared to that, it's too much to ask of that Quasi-Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Nest...
At this moment, the Heavenly Mandate Palace's move was earth-shattering, leaving everyone utterly astonished.
Even cultivators in the Mandate Palace were visibly shaken.
Yan Xiaoyu's cherry lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with admiration.
As for the unfamiliar figure who had been standing behind the master of the Mandate Palace, all fell into dead silence.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Ye Fan felt that the other person was watching him, which made him frown slightly.
His intuition told him that the other person must know him, and perhaps there was some connection between them.
but...
Who could it be?
He quickly went through his memories, but those he vaguely remembered didn't match the aura of the man in black robes, which piqued his interest.

There should be one more update later, but it might be a little late.
Chapter 712 Those who recite my true name will have their sins halved in the tribulation of life and death.
A world of illusion.
The stench of blood was so strong it was almost unbearable, and cries of agony and curses rose and fell.
A Black Dog the size of a calf ran wildly through the Void, its heart filled with fear.
"Call out!"
A purple chain, imbued with will-o'-the-wisps and icy chill, pierces through space and time in an instant, tearing apart the boundary.
The Ancient Jiangshi King was like a god who ruled over the human world, with a cold expression. No matter how the fugitives fled, they could not escape their predetermined fate.
