Chapter 497 -496: Kun Hai Takes Action

“Senior, help me!” Wei Wuya sent a mental message to Kun Hai, pleading for aid.

At the same time, he desperately poured his Divine Soul Power into the Soul-Devouring Bone Staff in his hand, causing the Corpse Spirit Souls within to burn one by one.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand Corpse Spirit Souls were burning.

He knew that at a time like this, besides calling for reinforcements, it was crucial to put up a desperate fight himself.

“Form, my Body of Ten Thousand Spirits!” a low voice boomed from Wei Wuya.

The next moment, the Light Patterns on his Soul-Devouring Bone Staff flickered as it erupted with terrifying Power.

The Corpse Qi that swept out was manipulated by Wei Wuya, condensing into a thousand-zhang-tall skull that hovered in the air.

And not only that—beneath the skull, the Corpse Qi condensed further, forming limbs and transforming the skull into a complete skeletal body.

This skeletal body was immense, standing nine thousand zhang tall. It seemed capable of touching the heavens, nearly reaching Emperor Tang’s Dharma Aspect Body in the Void.

“What is that unholy creature?!” As the skeletal body took form, all the Cultivators in Xiling County were stirred.

“Is His Majesty fighting that abomination?” Shockwaves of emotion rippled through the hearts of many.

At that same moment, high in the heavens, Emperor Tang’s aura continued to surge. He was gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth, and his Dharma Aspect Body grew ever more solid.

Moreover, an aura capable of commanding heaven and earth began to emanate from the Dharma Aspect Body.

Under the pressure of this aura, the very air above Xiling County seemed to freeze. Countless subjects found it difficult to even breathe.

“Keep burning!” Wei Wuya’s face was filled with dread, even though the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits conjured by his Soul-Devouring Bone Staff was already incredibly powerful.

But he still dared not drop his guard.

So, he continued to burn the Corpse Spirit Souls within the Soul-Devouring Bone Staff.

‘Damn it, all my resources are being depleted just like this!’ He felt a deep pang as he watched the Corpse Spirit Souls burn away one by one.

‘These are the Corpse Spirit Souls I’ve spent countless years nurturing!’

They were his ultimate trump card.

Just as the aura of the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits surged, high in the heavens, Emperor Tang made his move.

WHOOSH!

Emperor Tang turned his massive hand, upon which Light Patterns swirled and Heaven and Earth Power gathered. Then, from high in the sky, he brought it crashing down upon the Body of Ten thousand Spirits below.

BANG!

As Emperor Tang’s massive hand struck, the Void itself could be seen caving in from afar. Terrifying energy fluctuations swept out in all directions, making the very Void explode. This astonishing Power, capable of shattering mountains, struck fear into the hearts of the Xiling County Cultivators. Even the two experts from the Corpse Spirit Hall felt a cold dread.

“A strike like that… only a Daoist Palace Realm Cultivator should be capable of something like that, right?” one of the Celestial Corpses muttered.

“Perhaps even someone who just entered the Daoist Palace Realm wouldn’t possess such power.”

“Emperor Tang is truly powerful!” The other Celestial Corpse’s heart pounded with fear.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that they had not recklessly tried to bring disaster upon the Southern Wilderness and the Great Tang Empire over the years.

Otherwise, they would have likely been annihilated by Emperor Tang long ago. Now, everything depended on Kun Hai.

Anxiously, they hurriedly activated their Supreme Treasures to protect themselves.

As Emperor Tang’s massive hand bore down, Wei Wuya felt an immense pressure.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Wei Wuya immediately commanded the Body of Ten Thousand Spirits to rise and meet the hand descending from the heavens.

“Corpse of Ten Thousand Spirits, detonate!” Just as the skeleton was about to reach the massive hand, a terrifying energy erupted from its body.

Then, everyone watched as the nine-thousand-zhang-tall skeletal body violently exploded, its energy lunging toward Emperor Tang like a furious serpent.

RUMBLE!

The terrifying Power slammed into Emperor Tang’s massive hand. The crowd watched as the hand was pierced, as if by an iron spear, before it violently exploded.

The Power unleashed by the Corpse of Ten Thousand Spirits was simply terrifying.

However, though Emperor Tang’s massive hand shattered, his eyes flashed. The Void trembled, and the terrifying aftershocks were completely obliterated by his gaze.

The next moment, a vast Celestial Might bore down from above.

Under this Celestial Might, the Corpse Qi scattered, rolling back like a terrifying tidal wave that threatened to drown Wei Wuya below.

Seeing this, Wei Wuya’s face filled with terror.

“Coffin of Ten Thousand Spirits!” In his terror, Wei Wuya summoned a coffin. With a flash of Light Patterns, he vanished inside it.

He wasn’t the only one; the two Celestial Corpses beside him each summoned an Ancient Coffin as well, vanishing inside them in a flash.

Just as the three Celestial Corpses vanished into their Ancient Coffins, the terrifying shockwave from the heavens engulfed the entire area.

RUMBLE!

A deafening roar shook the sky. The mountain peak beside the Xiling Ruins instantly shattered into dust, and the surrounding earth began to crack and splinter.

The three Ancient Coffins were driven a hundred meters into the ground by the astonishing Power.

However, the Ancient Coffins emitted a dazzling light and did not shatter.

Clearly, these were all Supreme Treasures with powerful defenses, not so easily destroyed.

Even so, Wei Wuya and the two Celestial Corpses hiding inside were shaken so violently that their very souls were rattled and disoriented.

Meanwhile, Wei Wuya frantically sent message after message to Kun Hai.

He truly couldn’t hold on much longer.

If this continued, he would undoubtedly be slain by Emperor Tang.

‘After all, no matter how many trump cards I have, they’ll eventually run out!’

‘But I have no idea how many more times Emperor Tang can attack.’

‘I can’t afford to gamble!’

‘If I lose, the price will be my life!’

“To think Emperor Tang is this formidable.” In the region outside the North Spirit Ruins, Kun Hai was slightly surprised to hear the news.

‘It’s hard to imagine that the Emperor of a minor Empire could be so powerful.’

After a moment of surprise, he suddenly raised his head and said, word by word, “Then, it is time we made our move.”

As he spoke, Kun Hai’s Heart Spirit stirred. Deep within the valley, the eyes of the Kunpeng Corpse coiled upon the Array Platform snapped open.

VMMMM!

When the Kunpeng Corpse opened its eyes, light flashed from within, like two ghostly lanterns illuminating heaven and earth.

This light passed directly through the Kunpeng array, landing on the North Spirit Ruins thousands of miles away.

“What is that light?” When the beams appeared, the Cultivators guarding the North Spirit Ruins couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

Word of these events was quickly reported to the Sect Leaders of the various sects.

WHOOSH!

Just as the Kunpeng Corpse opened its eyes, it let out a long, piercing cry. Its wings spread, and it transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky as it departed.

Now, those near the North Spirit Ruins saw a two-thousand-meter-long Kunpeng spreading its wings, flying toward the ruins in the distance.

In the span of just a few breaths, it appeared over the North Spirit Ruins.

The Kunpeng flew over, its wings spread wide. A vast Nether Qi billowed from its body, forming a roiling Nether Sea. Its aura was so immense that it covered the sky and blotted out the sun.

“A Kunpeng! It’s a Kunpeng, it’s flying this way!”

“Has the Kunpeng Ancestor appeared in the world?” An uproar immediately swept through the area near the North Spirit Ruins, and the Cultivators from the various sects were terrified.

The Kunpeng was truly immense, over two thousand meters long. Its wings, when spread, were like a dark cloud blotting out the sky, and the aura it released enveloped the land for hundreds of miles.
