The depths of the Corpse Forbidden Zone had long since transformed into a collapsed inferno. Countless ancient primordial corpses were constantly awakening from between the fractured abyss and ancient stone pillars. The sky was completely covered by dark red corpse energy, and the earth was filled with huge corpse shadows dragging chains as they slowly crawled. Further behind, the overwhelming tide of beasts was also constantly approaching, and the pressure of the five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable was like five destructive suns pressing down relentlessly.
After shattering dozens of corpses with a single sword strike, Chi Ninghua finally spoke in a low voice, "Young Master Qin, we must fight our way out as soon as possible; they are getting closer and closer." Qin Yu looked up at the churning sea of corpses and the beast tide behind them, his eyes gradually turning cold. "Hmm."
The next instant, he took a sudden step forward, and boom--!!! The entire world trembled violently. Qin Yu slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand, and a terrifying sword intent far exceeding the previous one began to spread wildly.
The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and the floating corpse energy around him began to rapidly dissipate the moment it approached him. Countless ancient corpses simultaneously stopped moving, as if instinctively sensing some kind of danger. Qin Yu slowly raised his sword, his voice as cold as if it came from the ends of all realms. "Slaying Dao - Annihilation Sword."
Boom!!!! In that instant, the sky above the entire Corpse Forbidden Zone suddenly tore apart, and the Great Dao veins of the origin of heaven and earth were collapsing inch by inch from their foundation. Nine huge gray-white sword realms suddenly appeared behind Qin Yu, and different scenes of collapse appeared in each sword realm.
In the first sword realm, countless chains of laws are collapsing madly, "the Rules Extinguished." In the second sword realm, billions of causal threads are severed by a single sword strike, "Cause and Effect Severed." In the third sword realm, vast swathes of the future and the river of destiny are in chaotic reversal, "Heavenly Mandate Rewritten." The fourth sword realm is transformed into a wordless void, all runes, formations, and languages turning to ashes, "All Laws Void."
Behind them, the five sword realms respectively reflected the destruction of royal power, the Years Turn to Ash, the emptiness of self, and the Heaven and Earth Shattered, until the last sword realm completely transformed into an abyss of absolute Annihilation. Boom--!!! The nine sword realms erupted simultaneously. Qin Yu swung his sword down. The moment that sword fell, the entire world seemed to be forcibly sliced open.
There was no ordinary sword light. Instead, there was a gray-white "severance" that covered tens of thousands of miles across the sea of corpses. The countless ancient corpses that rushed forward suddenly stopped. In the next instant, the rules within their bodies began to collapse, Causal Severance, time was frozen, Fate Soul were shattered, and space was annihilated.
Before the corpses could even scream, their bodies turned into gray-white nothingness. The ancient chains floating in the sky also began to crack in large pieces. The entire area of corpses was cleaved into a devastating abyss thousands of feet wide by this sword. A large number of corpses were completely erased in the sword mark, and even the traces of their "previous existence" began to dissipate.
Just as Qin Yu's sword struck, Chi Ninghua also took a step into the air. The Divine Sword of Silent Void in her hand suddenly became Ultimate still, and even the wind in the entire world stopped. She slowly thrust her sword forward. "Return to the Ruins One Sword."
Buzz--!!! There was no sword light, no roar, only an indescribable "emptiness" that instantly spread. The bodies of the hundreds of huge corpses at the forefront suddenly froze. The corpse aura, blood patterns, and chains on their bodies began to fade rapidly. The entire corpse was as if it had been forcibly pressed back from a three-dimensional world into a black and white painting.
The next instant, the outlines of the countless painted figures rapidly dissipated and blurred, eventually fading away completely, directly erased by the rules of heaven and earth, and utterly stripped away from the world. Even the traces of the corpses that had existed were rapidly disappearing, and a large blank area briefly appeared behind the horde of corpses.
Qin Yu and Chi Ninghua unleashed their two great supernatural powers simultaneously, instantly blasting open a true path to survival in the center of the entire Corpse Forbidden Zone. Boom! Without the slightest hesitation, the two transformed into streaks of light and burst forth.
Behind them, a large number of corpses collapsed wildly, and gray sword marks and Return to the Ruins continued to spread. Chi Ninghua shouted, "Go!" In the next instant, the two rushed directly into the deeper part of the forbidden zone.
Not long after they left, Boom! The overwhelming beast tide behind them finally broke into the Corpse Forbidden Zone. Tens of thousands of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang and Origin Divine Huang rushed into the stone pillar area, and the earth shook violently. But as soon as they stepped in, the ancient stone pillars that were originally silent lit up with scarlet patterns.
The black chains in the sky collided wildly, and in the next instant, the entire Corpse Forbidden Zone went completely berserk. Boom! A large number of ancient corpses nailed to stone pillars opened their eyes simultaneously. The earth deeper inside began to crack continuously.
One after another, even larger corpse claws emerged from the abyss. The corpses that had been sleeping deeper within were completely awakened by the aura of the beast tide. Many Origin Divine Huang did not even have time to react before they were forcibly torn in half by the suddenly awakened ancient corpses, and blood instantly stained the entire land red.
Countless black chains in the sky, like living creatures, raged through the beast tide, pinning many Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang to their deaths in mid-air. The five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable simultaneously paled. They finally realized that the truly terrifying thing in this forbidden zone wasn't the ordinary corpses; something far more ancient was awakening deep within.
The Corpse Forbidden Zone is now completely out of control. Vast black chains stretch across the sky, countless ancient stone pillars are constantly crumbling, and more and more ancient corpses are breaking free from between the abyss and the stone pillars. The overwhelming beast tide has finally been completely swallowed up in the center of the sea of corpses.
The Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable at the forefront finally changed his expression. He abruptly looked up at the constantly awakening corpses around him and roared, "Not good! That brat has touched the restrictions here!" Before his voice had even faded, another black-winged God roared angrily, "Quick! Everyone who can retreat, retreat!"
But the man, whose body was covered in azure feather patterns, suddenly sneered, his eyes filled with savagery. "Retreat? What retreat?" Boom! He shattered the sky with a single step, and the ten-thousand-foot-long peacock feather wheel behind him fully unfolded, instantly covering the heavens with countless azure feather blades. "I want to see what these corpses, which have been silent for countless years, are capable of."
It suddenly raised its hand and roared, "Kill them all! No one is allowed to escape!" In the next instant, the entire beast tide went completely berserk. Boom! Tens of thousands of Origin Divine Huang and Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang simultaneously manifested their Dharma forms in the heavens and earth.
The sky was instantly obscured by various enormous beast shadows. A nine-headed giant phoenix, its body engulfed in dark red divine fire, took flight, its wings spreading to cover thousands of miles of mountains. A black-armored giant ape, hundreds of feet tall, pounded its chest in a frenzy, its roars shattering large swathes of space. Furthermore, a black tortoise carrying a giant shell of stars, an ancient dragon entwined with a sea of lightning, and a blood-red ferocious tiger covered in bone spurs roared simultaneously.
In the next instant, tens of thousands of divine powers erupted simultaneously! Boom! A vast sea of dark red fire fell wildly from the sky, billions of bolts of lightning poured down like a waterfall, a giant beast claw tore through the horde of corpses, and divine light of various colors swept across the heavens and earth, turning the entire Corpse Forbidden Zone into a purgatory of destruction.
As countless ancient corpses crawled out of the abyss, they were blasted apart by overwhelming divine power. The sky was burned blood-red by divine fire, and the earth was blasted open into countless abysses by the sea of lightning. The corpses that were pierced by chains continued to break apart, and a large number of severed limbs and ancient bones flew all over the sky.
At the same time, the five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable also made their real move. The snake-eyed woman's eyes suddenly turned into dark green vertical pupils. "Ten Thousand Moltings Devour the World." Boom--!!! Hundreds of millions of venomous snake phantoms rushed out from behind her, and the entire sky was instantly swallowed by a dark green sea of poison. As soon as a large number of corpses touched that sea of poison, their bones quickly rotted and collapsed.
The woman with the Peacock Illusionary Eyes suddenly opened her eyes, and hundreds of emerald green pupils appeared simultaneously in the sky and earth. "Thousand-Pupil Dream Burial." In the next instant, a large number of ancient corpses suddenly stopped moving, and their bodies began to fight each other wildly. Countless corpses were completely distorted by the illusion.
The white-haired deity pressed down with both hands, shouting, "Azure Sea Seals the World!" A massive, icy sea plummeted from the heavens, instantly freezing the horde of corpses into greyish-white ice sculptures.
The black-winged man transformed completely into a sea of dark red lightning, unleashing "World-Silencing Heavenly Punishment!" Boom! A dark red lightning pillar, thousands of feet in diameter, relentlessly shattered the earth, blasting enormous corpses into ashes within the sea of lightning. The entire Corpse Forbidden Zone seemed to be forcibly breached by them.
Just as the battle intensified and its power continued to rise, a sudden boom resounded in all directions—BOOM! The entire world fell into a moment of deathly silence. The various supernatural powers did not subside, nor did the fighting and battles cease; an even more mysterious and unpredictable unknown entity had already quietly descended.
The next instant, an indescribable aura of decay slowly spread from the deepest part of the forbidden zone. As soon as that aura appeared, the divine fire in the sky began to dim rapidly, and large swaths of lightning gradually decayed.
Countless black spots of decay even appeared in the icy sea. Even the rampaging Origin Divine Huang suddenly began to growl uneasily, and a large number of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang instinctively retreated. The entire world was suddenly filled with an ancient and Ultimate rotten smell, like something that had buried countless eras.
As they were reopening their eyes, crack... crack... in the deepest part of the forbidden zone, the black chains that stretched across the sky and earth suddenly began to snap slowly. The sound was not loud, but it made the entire battlefield instantly fall silent. The next moment...
Boom!!!! A gigantic, pitch-black, rotting hand suddenly emerged slowly from the deepest, gray-black abyss. The hand was tens of thousands of feet in size, its surface covered with large patches of decaying, sloughed-off gray-black flesh. Countless drops of dark red corpse fluid dripped continuously, and the instant those drops hit the ground, the entire earth rapidly rotted and collapsed. Then...
A pair of scarlet eyes, chilling to the bone, slowly opened in the abyss. In that instant, all the corpses in the entire Corpse Forbidden Zone stopped moving. Whether it was the fighting horde of corpses or the remains that had just been blasted apart, they all slowly bowed their heads towards the abyss.
As if in worship, the five Primordial Beast Dao Divine Venerable' expressions truly changed for the first time, because they sensed that corrupting aura far surpassing their own; the Primordial King Corpse had awakened.
