The Corpse King Falls! The Heavenly Dao Appears! Life Returns to the Western Continent!

"Heh, watching the show? Aren't you giving yourself a little too much credit, Sword Immortal?"

The Corpse King thought Ye Zichen was bluffing. After all, he could now be called the strongest person in the lower realm.

Other than the Heavenly Dao, no one was stronger than him!

"So, you think you're powerful too?"

Ye Zichen was speechless. Why did every villain think they were so unbelievably strong?

"Hmph! What do you mean, powerful? If the Heavenly Dao doesn't show itself, I'm invincible!"

The Corpse King drew himself up to his full, ugly height, determined to maintain his imposing presence.

"Invincible? Heh."

Ye Zichen smiled as though he were looking at a fool. This was the first time anyone had claimed to be invincible in front of him.

"Then I'll let you have one move. Go ahead."

Ye Zichen put away his smile and spoke coldly.

"In that case, I won't hold back!"

"Corpse Dissolution Under Heaven!"

The Corpse King roared and unleashed a full-strength blow at Ye Zichen.

Behind them, the Poison Fairy felt the force of the blow, far beyond that of a peak half-immortal, and swallowed involuntarily.

"Hey! Can your young master withstand that?"

The Poison Fairy asked in a low voice.

"Miss Poison Fairy, rest assured. The young master is the one who's truly invincible!"

Long Han paused, then answered with absolute certainty.

Boom!

The blow struck Ye Zichen head-on. He didn't raise a hand to block it.

"Hahahahaha! What Sword Immortal? What 'one sword astonished Weiyang'? It was all a lie!"

Seeing Ye Zichen take his full-strength blow, the Corpse King thought he was surely dead as dead could be.

"One move has passed. Do you have any last words?"

The smoke cleared, and Ye Zichen's words rang out, pronouncing the Corpse King's death.

"Th-this is impossible!"

The Corpse King stared at the completely unharmed Ye Zichen, his jaw dropping in shock-literally.

"All right, playtime is over."

A golden spear appeared in Ye Zichen's hand. Just now, he had actually been thinking about which weapon would be best for killing him.

"Today, the Corpse King dies."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Zichen put one hand behind his back and drew a cross in the air before him with the spear in the other.

The golden spiritual light swept forward like a hot knife through butter, taking the form of a true dragon. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, it pierced straight through the Corpse King.

"No! No, no, no, no, no! I'm a corpse immortal! I can't die! I'm invincible! No!"

Feeling his pierced body crumble bit by bit, the Corpse King roared in agony.

At that moment, he truly dissipated, truly died! Corpse Qi couldn't save him. How could a mere bit of Corpse Qi save him from Ye Zichen's strike?

Then a black pill appeared in Ye Zichen's hand.

A corpse pill.

This was what Ye Zichen had wanted from the start. A show had simply unfolded along the way, delaying him a little.

Still, it wasn't bad. The best one yet had formed.

"Long Han, I'll give you this weapon."

Ye Zichen tossed the spear in his hand to Long Han. Feeling the power of this weapon, which far surpassed Heaven Tier, Long Han couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"

Long Han bowed deeply, paying his respects!

Immortal Tier, or even above the Immortal Realm!

He stroked the shaft again, unable to put it down. He had used a sword before, but with a weapon this powerful, using a spear was fine too! Wouldn't a little more practice do the trick? If you're bad at it, practice more!

"A late-stage half-immortal Ancestral Dragon? When did Master get a mount like this?"

The spear spirit manifested and looked Long Han over with disdain. Although Ancestral Dragons were mythical beings even in the Immortal Realm, his cultivation in this lower realm was a little too low.

"S-senior Spear Spirit, hello!"

Long Han stiffened all over when he saw the spear spirit appear.

"Don't be naughty. Stay with him and behave yourself."

Ye Zichen gave the spear spirit his instructions.

"All right, Master, I got it!"

The spear spirit conceded, then returned to the spear.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye. I'll definitely work even harder from now on!"

Long Han put the weapon away and hurriedly bowed deeply to Ye Zichen.

"Poison Fairy, do you still think I'm a mortal?"

Ye Zichen spoke to the Poison Fairy in a teasing tone.

Hearing Ye Zichen tease her, the Poison Fairy wished she could find a hole to crawl into. He really had come to have fun back then...

"Th-thank you, Senior... I, Zhao Qianxue, will always remember your kindness!"

The Poison Fairy didn't dare look at Ye Zichen. She could only give her name and thank him timidly in a low voice.

"Think nothing of it. If not for you, I wouldn't have gotten to see this show. Heavenly Dao."

Ye Zichen summoned the Heavenly Dao.

"My lord, what is it?"

The Heavenly Dao slowly took form, standing behind Ye Zichen.

"Th-the Heavenly Dao!"

Both of them were stunned.

Given their stations, neither had ever been able to meet the Heavenly Dao. This was the first time either had seen the Heavenly Dao, and its appearance scared them half to death.

"Zhao Qianxue greets the Heavenly Dao!"

"Long Han greets the Heavenly Dao!"

They both hurriedly fell to their knees and kowtowed. After all, they had both been born under these heavens, and the Heavenly Dao was like a mother to them.

"All right, all right, don't do that, either of you. I didn't do anything. It was all thanks to his lordship."

The Heavenly Dao pointed at Ye Zichen and hurriedly told them to rise.

The fact that even the Heavenly Dao treated the young master with such courtesy made the two realize all the more what an unbelievably important figure Ye Zichen was.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao felt helpless. If they knew that even the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao had to bow its head before this man, what a sight that would be.

"I'll keep this corpse pill as a collector's item. Do you have any objections?"

Ye Zichen glanced at the Heavenly Dao and asked in a tone that admitted no argument.

Although this thing would be of some use to the Heavenly Dao in repairing the power of its laws, the Heavenly Dao certainly had no objections once Ye Zichen had spoken.

Of course not. Dare to object, and he'd slap you to death!

"In answer to my lord, I have no objections."

The Heavenly Dao spoke willingly.

"Good. I won't take it from you for nothing. I'll help you one more time."

Ye Zichen suddenly appeared in the sky above Poison Control City. Then his calm words once again reached the ears of every living being in the Western Continent.

"I am here to call upon the Western Continent to awaken!"

His words became law. The Corpse Qi in the Western Continent, as well as the Corpse Qi that had just spread to the outside world, was completely cleared away in an instant!

Immediately afterward, the desolate landscape of the Western Continent gradually came back to life, the change spreading outward from Poison Control City.

Trees, mountains and rivers-the once-flourishing Western Continent had returned at this very moment!

With a single utterance, Ye Zichen had both awakened the Western Continent's vitality and sent all its dead living beings into reincarnation!

The Heavenly Dao was overjoyed at the sight!

This was wonderful!

The corpse pill might not even have restored as much as the Heavenly Dao itself had expended!

Giving up one corpse pill in exchange for the Immortal Emperor's help-the deal was simply worth it!

From now on, it could go out and brag that an Immortal Emperor had helped it!

"Th-this... Young Master Ye is far too powerful!"

Compared to killing, a method like this, which awakened life in all things and was akin to resurrection, impressed Long Han even more!

The Poison Fairy gazed at the lush, colorful world before her, at the flourishing foliage she hadn't seen in hundreds of years.

Tears of joy and sorrow flowed down her face.

"Mother... the Western Continent's beauty has returned. Can you see it?"
