Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie stood at the edge of the battlefield for quite some time, constantly gazing into it.

What power was it that once confronted the army of Ghost Witch Clan cultivators on this ancient battlefield?

He could no longer discern it from the corpses.

The original characteristics of those corpses had completely disappeared, having been contaminated by the Qi of Ghostly Yin.

Could the events that occurred here be related to the previous life of the Netherworld Great Emperor?

Jun Wuxie turned and left, heading towards the end of his line of sight.

At the end of his line of sight, a large mountain blocked the path ahead.

Behind the mountain was a vast, distorted void.

Clearly, that was the barrier of this special space.

There was a very high cliff in the middle of the mountain.

The cliff looked very peculiar, its entire shape resembling a hideous ghost head.

There was an altar on top of the cliff, and near the altar were many strange and terrifying stone sculptures.

The positions of those stone sculptures were very particular, able to condense power and form a field between each other.

However, the stone sculptures had been moved by someone, and some positions had shifted, causing the field they constructed to collapse as a result.

Jun Wuxie ascended the cliff and arrived near the altar.

In the center of the altar, he saw a coffin.

The coffin was engraved with strange patterns that looked very evil.

There was no coffin lid on the coffin; the coffin lid was lying on the ground nearby.

He walked towards the altar, came to the coffin, and looked inside.

The coffin was empty, and the bottom of the coffin also had patterns similar to those on the surface of the coffin, but they gave an even more evil and strange feeling.

There were many bloodstains inside the coffin.

Looking at the bloodstains, a strange color appeared in Jun Wuxie's eyes.

He sensed the Qi of the Netherworld from these bloodstains.

This meant that the person buried in this coffin may have possessed the bloodline of the Netherworld.

However, judging from the altar and the nearby stone sculptures, these were clearly more inclined towards the methods of the Ghost Witch Clan.

Jun Wuxie turned around and carefully examined the nearby stone sculptures again, staring at the strange patterns interwoven with Dao patterns, and examining the layout of the altar.

Gradually, he deduced some information from it.

Such a layout, such methods, resembled a kind of evil sacrificial refining method.

What was being sacrificed and refined?

The answer pointed to the coffin on the altar.

The Ghost Witch Clan should have been refining the person in the coffin, or rather, the corpse in the coffin.

They should have ultimately failed.

After all, this altar and this coffin appeared in the Netherworld Great Emperor's palace.

"In this case, the entire continent of this space may have been brought back from the world of the Ghost Witch Clan by the Netherworld Great Emperor.

It's just unknown whether it was done by his previous life or his current life.

The person with the bloodline of the Netherworld flowing in the coffin, what is his connection with the Netherworld Great Emperor?

This may be related to the shackles of fate that the Netherworld Great Emperor spoke of.

If that's the case, how did I, who came from that great hall, enter this place?

Logically speaking, the Netherworld Great Emperor would never open such a place to outsiders.

There is no reason why that great hall could directly connect to this place."

Jun Wuxie felt that something was not right; all of this did not make sense.

That great hall and the entrance to the Imperial Palace were only separated by a door.

This place should have been a special space hidden by the Netherworld Great Emperor within the Imperial Palace.

"Netherworld, are you doing this on purpose?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the void, thinking a lot in his heart, and had some kind of guess.

He looked around, his eyes searching.

There was no way to leave this space here.

He immediately headed towards other areas, searching all the way.

He could basically be certain that coming here was not accidental.

Strictly speaking, there should be no way to connect to other places in the Imperial Palace.

However, since he could come to this space, there must be a way out.

After a while, Jun Wuxie saw a void rift somewhere in the mountain.

The void here was the barrier of this space, and the power of the void was very terrifying.

Only in this place, within the void rift, the space was stable.

He passed through the void rift and came to another space.

Here, it was a vast sea, and at the end of the other shore, there was a similar void rift.

This sea looked quite eerie.

The seawater was dark red, and the surface of the sea was filled with the Qi of Ghostly Yin.

In the center of the sea, a huge body floated, and the void around the body was slightly distorted.

That body was thousands of kilometers long, wearing immortal armor, and the body covered by the armor was somewhat shriveled, but not very serious.

"It's spatial confinement within the space again, forming spatial imprisonment."

Jun Wuxie stared at the huge body in the center of the sea.

This was different from the corpses in that great hall.

This person was much stronger before his death, probably reaching a level similar to that of Senior Sister Jinse.

Most importantly, his remains were not as shriveled as the corpses in that great hall.

It was currently impossible to see whether the cave within his body was exhausted, but it was certain that the divine power of his flesh was definitely not exhausted.

The flesh of this remains was extremely powerful.

"It seems that ordinary methods cannot be used, otherwise it will be impossible to deal with him, and it will only put oneself in danger."

The source of space was hidden within that remains, which was inevitable.

Because the situation here was the same as the situation of the corpses in that great hall.

Moreover, it was certain that the amount of the source of space hidden in the body of this corpse was much larger than the source of space of the previous corpse.

His realm before his death was much higher, and more source of space was needed to achieve imprisonment.

"Once the spatial imprisonment of a strong corpse in such a realm disappears, and the will of the Ghost Witch controls his body, it will be unmatched.

The Guanyin Jade Bracelet will definitely not be able to play any role, let alone pull him to the same realm.

Leaving aside the influence of the Emperor's Power of the Imperial Palace, it will not be possible to do so, and it will not even be able to cause the slightest impact on his realm."

Jun Wuxie thought about how to deal with the will of the Ghost Witch inside that corpse.

The Guanyin Jade Bracelet would not work.

Although the Guanyin Jade Bracelet was a special artifact with a very high grade.

However, whether its effect could be exerted was greatly related to the realm of the person using it.

Furthermore, for such a strong person who was not far from the Emperor Realm, the Guanyin Jade Bracelet could not possibly be effective.

"World Tree."

"Divine Lord, I am here."

The ethereal and gentle voice of the World Tree sounded in his mind, responding at the first moment.

"How have you recovered these years?

It has been a long time since I have been able to see your detailed state.

However, I can feel that your vitality is much stronger than before."

"Thanks to the blessing of the Divine Lord, I have recovered very well.

Although there is still a long way to go to reach the peak state of the past, compared to the past in the lower realm, it is already incomparable.

Divine Lord, you have walked a legendary life, possessing two great innate bloodlines, and fusing many ancient origins.

I have benefited from this, relying on the body of the Divine Lord, I have already walked out of the low point of my life."

"That's very good.

I haven't called you for many years because I didn't want to disturb you, and there was nothing you needed to help with on weekdays.

Today, I want to use the World Domain to strengthen myself in order to temporarily achieve my own immortality.

But this may have great risks.

After all, my current realm is still low, and my physical strength is far from what I need.

Help me watch."

"Okay, Divine Lord, please do as you wish, I will definitely protect your temporary immortality."

After receiving the World Tree's response, Jun Wuxie headed towards the center of the sea.

He walked on the waves and soon came to the area where the void was distorted.

The imprisoned corpse inside could not be seen as human-shaped at close range, completely like a continent floating on the sea.

When he got here, Jun Wuxie concentrated and calmed his mind, and then propped up the World Domain.

He took himself as the center and kept shrinking the domain until the entire domain merged with his own flesh and blood.

Then, he released his own soul suppression.

In an instant, his soul power soared wildly.

Because his physical body was strong enough, although he was only in the Eternal God Realm, his soul realm was usually maintained in the Immortal Realm.

At this time, his soul instantly stepped from the Immortal Realm to the Creation Realm, then broke into the Chaos Realm, then to the Primordial Realm, and continued upwards to the Origin Realm... the Beginning Realm... the Primal Realm... the Returning Truth Realm...

Finally, breaking through the Returning Truth Realm, he directly climbed to the Great Emperor Realm!

His body trembled violently, and his body felt like it was about to explode, and all his flesh and blood swelled.

The flesh was like it was about to be torn apart, unable to bear the soul.

The soul was about to completely split from the flesh, cutting off all connections.

At this moment, a gentle force flowed along the meridians throughout his body, strengthening the World Domain.

This alleviated the feeling that his soul and flesh were about to completely disconnect.

Although it was still very uncomfortable, it finally returned to a tolerable limit.

He quickly sacrificed the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, guiding the Eight-Nine Profound Palace to open the Profound Palace space.

Under his control, the space inside the Profound Palace produced violent fluctuations.

These spatial fluctuations were directly applied by him to the spatial barrier that imprisoned the corpse.

Suddenly, the spatial confinement appeared and vibrated violently.

With a bang, the spatial imprisonment collapsed.

Like a shattered glass cover, it shattered into countless pieces.

Almost at the same time, the giant corpse floating on the sea suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.

In his eyes, two beams of blazing blood light shot straight into the sky.

Terrible killing and fierce aura rolled like a tide, sweeping wildly.

The vast sea set off monstrous waves, and blood water rolled into the sky.

Crack…

Above the sea, boundless, in the vast world, endless cracks appeared in the entire void, the scene was extremely terrifying.

"Since the beginning of eternity, what a long wait.

This seat knows that this day will eventually come."

“Destiny has not forsaken me; I am finally free!”

The will of the Ghost Witch Clan powerhouse controlled the giant corpse and stood up from the sea.

Its body was so colossal, like a giant mountain standing in the sea, its head touching the firmament!

“Hmm, this truly surprises me.

A mere human cultivator, with such a low cultivation realm, could actually dissolve the barrier formed by such spatial imprisonment power.

Let me see what secrets you are hiding.”

After the Ghost Witch Clan powerhouse's will spoke, it controlled the giant corpse, reaching out its hand to scoop downwards.

That enormous palm directly covered the sea surface, as if it wanted to scoop up all the seawater in the entire sea area.

“Presumptuous!”

Jun Wuxie roared in a deep voice, the soul light between his brows blazing, gathering into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky, instantly penetrating into the giant corpse's brain.

The giant corpse's body trembled violently.

“Ah!!!”

It let out a miserable scream of pain, its voice filled with terror, “How is this possible! How can you possess an Emperor Realm soul, ah——”

The giant corpse clutched its head and screamed in pain, its massive body crashing down with a loud bang, smashing into the sea, causing the seawater to surge into the sky.

The seawater within a few thousand miles was squeezed and surged towards the surroundings, forming giant waves tens of thousands of feet high, which was extremely terrifying.

The giant corpse rolled around clutching its head, in immense pain.

“Impossible, I cannot understand, how could this be!”

The soul will of the Ghost Witch Clan powerhouse was both terrified and furious.

Clearly, he was just a human cultivator with a low cultivation realm.

Yet he possessed an Emperor Realm soul!

Even a powerhouse's reincarnated body could never achieve this.

After all, the reincarnated body was no longer the body of the previous life, how could it possibly bear such a powerful soul!

This completely exceeded the limits of his understanding.

“In this world, there are countless things you cannot understand.

In the end, you are just a cultivator who has not yet entered the Emperor Realm.”

Jun Wuxie's indifferent voice echoed in the sky above the sea.

As his voice fell, the power of the soul light between his brows instantly surged.

The Ghost Witch powerhouse's soul will let out a shrill scream, filled with deep fear and unwillingness.

A black soul light rushed out from the giant corpse's head, scattering into black light rain, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, completely annihilated.

At this time, the giant corpse's massive body rapidly shrunk, instantly transforming into the size of a normal person.

Jun Wuxie immediately suppressed his soul realm, and his soul power rapidly weakened, returning to a normal state.

He dissipated the world domain, his body staggered, and he only felt his eyes go dark, almost falling into the sea, his vision blurred.

He shook his head violently, forcibly making his vision recover some clarity, and with that corpse, he headed towards the other side of the sea at the fastest speed.

Upon landing on the land of the other shore, he was completely exhausted, falling to the ground on his back, panting, feeling extremely tired.

“Lanlan, protect me, I need to rest.”

He released Lanlan.

The little fellow, seeing him in this state, was so frightened that his eyes welled up with tears, and he stuck out his tongue, licking his face fiercely, covering his face with saliva.

“Go away……”

Jun Wuxie weakly pushed it away, feigning disgust.

“No, iya, I don't want to, Lanlan wants to guard Master!”

Lanlan was very aggrieved, his round, big eyes misty with tears, lying on his shoulder, looking at him worriedly.
