Chapter 558 - 557: Demigod’s Corpse

Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Demigod’s Corpse

Deep within the Kunpeng Race’s territory, a Kunpeng nearly ninety thousand meters long appeared.

The moment this Kunpeng appeared, the might it emanated shook the entire region. Even the members of the Kunpeng Race were forced to retreat for thousands of miles.

"What level of Kunpeng is this!" Ling Fei murmured to himself.

However, when he carefully extended his senses, he discovered that although the Kunpeng’s aura was astonishing, it seemed to be devoid of life.

"This is a Kunpeng Puppet!" Beside him, Old Shi Ren’s eyes flashed as he spoke.

"A Kunpeng Puppet!" Ling Fei’s eyes flashed. He recalled the Kunpeng Corpse that Kun Hai had once controlled and realized this must be the same kind of existence.

Except, this Kunpeng before them had clearly been far more powerful in life.

"Take good care of Little Shi Tou and Young Master Ling," Old Shi Ren said to the Grand Elder, his gaze hardening.

"Yes!" The Grand Elder and the other four Elders formed a protective circle around Ling Fei.

As his words fell, Old Shi Ren was seen strolling forward, covering a thousand li in a single step to appear in the distant Void.

Simultaneously, with a motion of his hand, a Stone Hammer appeared, and he viciously smashed it down through the air at Kun Wuji ahead.

"A Demigod-level Kunpeng Corpse. It seems the Kunpeng Race is truly prepared to fight to the bitter end." The Holy Stone Spirit’s gaze was imperious. After a casual glance at the giant Kunpeng that had suddenly appeared, he formed a Hand Technique, manifesting Celestial Stone Patterns that transformed into a Domain Field to envelop Ling Fei, Little Shi Tou, and the others.

Once that was done, he stepped forward.

As the Holy Stone Spirit strode forward, the giant Kunpeng also attacked. It spread its wings and slashed horizontally toward the Holy Stone Spirit with astonishing power. The resulting shockwave shattered nearby mountains, forcing the Kunpeng Race’s Cultivators to retreat thousands of miles away, not daring to remain anywhere near the battle.

"This Kunpeng is a Corpse Puppet refined from the body of a Demigod powerhouse from our race during the Ancient Era! With it, we can suppress anything!"

"The Stone Race is foolish and ignorant, daring to storm our very gates. Today, we must make them all die in regret at the hands of our Kunpeng Race!"

As the Kunpeng attacked, several Elders of the Kunpeng Race snorted coldly.

"It would be best to annihilate the Stone Race!" Kunlong said through gritted teeth, his gaze incredibly dark.

The Holy Stone Spirit’s previous attack had nearly shattered his Divine Soul, so now he wished for nothing more than the complete annihilation of the Stone Race.

The members of the Kunpeng Race all gritted their teeth, eager to see this Kunpeng display its peerless divine power.

But the Holy Stone Spirit simply strolled forward, appearing completely nonchalant.

With a slight flicker in his eyes, he extended a pale, slender hand. Stone Patterns swirled in his palm, seemingly manifesting an entire world as he slapped it toward the Kunpeng Corpse!

BOOM!

As the palm descended, the Light Patterns on it expanded continuously, looking just like an entire world pressing down. The immense Gravity crushed the Void until it shattered.

BANG!

A deafening crash rang out. The Kunpeng’s nether light shattered, and its slashing wings were directly repelled.

A vast wave of Gravity blasted outward, causing even the ninety-thousand-meter-long body of the Kunpeng to stagger back, looking as if it were about to be sent flying.

From the looks of it, not only had the Kunpeng Corpse failed to gain the slightest advantage, it actually seemed to be outmatched.

"This Holy Stone Spirit is so powerful!"

"How can this be? This is a Corpse Puppet refined from the corpse of a Demigod powerhouse from our Kunpeng Race, and it can’t even suppress this Holy Stone Spirit?"

Seeing this, the hearts of the Kunpeng Race members sank.

This was a Demigod Level Kunpeng Corpse!

An existence of this caliber was nearly a Divine Spirit. Even as a corpse, the fluctuations emanating from its body could kill a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert with ease.

Furthermore, the Kunpeng Race had sealed this Kunpeng’s Blood Qi, preserving its Power exceptionally well. Its combat prowess should have been enough to sweep away all opposition.

It was precisely because of this that Kun Wuji had dared to declare he would annihilate the members of the Stone Race here.

But now, the Holy Stone Spirit’s combat prowess had far exceeded their imagination.

"Wasn’t this Holy Stone Spirit injured during the Ancient Era?"

Even Kun Wuji, who was fighting Old Shi Ren in the distance, revealed a look of astonishment.

The Holy Stone Spirit had participated in the wars of Ancient Times and had been injured.

Furthermore, the Holy Stone Spirit hadn’t achieved godhood. Otherwise, it would have sealed itself away long ago and wouldn’t have dared to emerge into the world.

’It seems eliminating them will be difficult,’ Kun Wuji sighed.

Old Shi Ren was attacking with extreme ferocity. Kun Wuji was completely unable to gain the slightest advantage; in fact, he felt faintly suppressed.

After all, Old Shi Ren had been in the Heaven-Reaching Perfection Realm for a longer time. If it weren’t for the restrictions of the Sealed Demon Land, where progress became increasingly difficult at the later stages, he would have already taken that next step long ago.

With a sigh, Kun Wuji could only put all his effort into controlling the Kunpeng Corpse to battle the Holy Stone Spirit, attempting to turn the tide.

The Blood Qi on the Kunpeng Corpse ignited, and Nether Flames bloomed. Its aura grew increasingly powerful, as if the very sky would be incinerated into nothingness by its burning Blood Qi.

But the Holy Stone Spirit was transcendent. One moment his palm would flip over like the heavens, the next his fist would form a seal, completely suppressing the Kunpeng Corpse’s ferocious momentum.

And so, the battle between the two fell into a stalemate.

...

’It seems the Clan Leader can’t kill Old Shi Ren.’

"Dammit!" The Kunpeng Race’s Elders all had ice-cold gazes and looks of pure hatred.

’We were originally planning to take this opportunity to kill Old Shi Ren and Little Shi Tou here.’

’As long as we deal with those two, the Stone Race will be ripe for annihilation.’

But who could have known that the Holy Stone Spirit’s power would be so far beyond their imagination.

This being was on a level far beyond any Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivator.

"However, we can use this opportunity to go and kill that Little Shi Tou." The gazes of several Kunpeng Race Elders shifted, locking onto Little Shi Tou in the distant Void.

The Grand Elder was guarding Little Shi Tou’s side.

"We can take our clan’s Corpse Puppets." The group nodded, intending to kill Little Shi Tou and Ling Fei.

And so, four Elders, each controlling a Kunpeng Corpse, charged forward to kill.

These Kunpeng Corpses also hailed from Ancient Times, with many having reached the Heaven-Reaching Realm, making them incredibly powerful.

The four Elders attacked at once, and immediately, four Kunpeng Corpses assailed Little Shi Tou from four different directions.

"Those bastards are actually targeting us." The Grand Elder’s gaze was ice-cold. The aura emanating from the four Kunpeng Corpses made him wary.

"Son of a bitch, do they think our Stone Race has no trump cards?" the three Elders beside him snorted furiously.

"Don’t be rash. If we engage and get tied down, Little Shi Tou will be in danger," the Sixth Elder said.

Hearing this, the others nodded. Their mission was to protect Little Shi Tou and Ling Fei.

"Let’s hope the measures left by the Holy Stone Spirit are effective," the Elders murmured.

Ling Fei could also feel how dangerous their situation was. If anything went wrong, they might meet their bitter end here.

’Without being a peerless expert, it’s impossible to protect myself!’ he sighed internally.

Witnessing this battle between top-tier experts, he was deeply struck by the power of such peerless figures.

Such individuals truly had heaven-defying abilities, capable of killing someone from millions of miles away.

Before such experts, the current Ling Fei was no different from an ant.

The more he felt his own insignificance, the more Ling Fei yearned to become stronger.

His blood was boiling, and he wished he could instantly become a peerless expert and participate in such a grand battle.

WHOOSH!

Just then, the four Kunpeng Corpses attacked in unison, their giant wings tearing through the sky as they slashed down.

Each strike was comparable to an attack from a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert.

Nether light blossomed, enveloping the section of the Void where Ling Fei was located.

Unfortunately for them, Stone Patterns blossomed in that patch of the Void, sending all four Kunpeng Corpses flying.

"Dammit! Four Emperor Corpses attacked, and they still couldn’t break that shield of Stone Patterns." Seeing this, the Kunpeng Race’s Elders gritted their teeth.

"Juniors of the Kunpeng Race, you have repeatedly tried to assassinate my race’s prodigies. Do you truly think I have no temper?" Just then, the Holy Stone Spirit grew enraged. In the sky above the Kunpeng Race, Light Patterns squirmed, a Qi Vortex emerged, and a figure flickered into existence—a man in white robes.

This man was none other than the Holy Stone Spirit.

"Th-this... another Holy Stone Spirit?" The Kunpeng Race’s Elders were flabbergasted.

This Holy Stone Spirit’s gaze was ice-cold. He pointed a finger, tapping through the Void to land on one of the Kunpeng Corpses.

BANG!

As the finger descended, the Kunpeng Corpse exploded, instantly turning to dust!

"This..." Seeing this, the members of the Kunpeng Race were utterly stunned.

That was the corpse of a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert! In the Ancient Era, such an individual could be called an emperor, and their physical body was comparable to a Heaven-Reaching Realm Supreme Treasure.

Yet now, it had been shattered by a single finger.

Before the Kunpeng Race could recover from their shock, the Holy Stone Spirit attacked again.

He pointed his finger, and the Stone Patterns transformed into a self-contained world, trapping a Kunpeng Race Elder inside!

"No..." Instantly, the Elder’s face filled with terror. He felt as if he had been trapped in a separate world, his body completely bound.

BANG!

The finger fell, and the Elder was directly crushed into dust.

This scene left every member of the Kunpeng Race completely dumbfounded.

"How is the Stone Race’s Holy Stone Spirit this powerful?!"

"Why are there two Holy Stone Spirits?!"

...

An uproar erupted as the members of the Kunpeng Race began to panic.

"He actually manifested another Spirit Body!" Seeing this, Kun Wuji’s expression darkened.

The Holy Stone Spirit had not acted with his true self.

He had merely been summoned by Little Shi Tou and had sent down a Spirit Body.

However, for a Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivator, being able to send down a single Spirit Body to fight from millions of miles away was already incredibly difficult.

It required immense Divine Soul Power.

For the Holy Stone Spirit to be able to send down two Spirit Bodies, both with such heaven-defying strength, was completely beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivator.

Kun Wuji frowned, wondering to himself, ’Has the Holy Stone Spirit recovered from his injuries? Or has he become even stronger?’

"Holy Stone Ancestor is so amazing!" Little Shi Tou cheered.

’That old stone is actually this powerful!’ Ling Fei was stunned. No wonder the Holy Stone Spirit had been so nonchalant.

’Those three favors I’m owed seem to be incredibly valuable!’ Ling Fei’s eyes lit up, feeling like he had gotten the better end of his deal with the Holy Stone Spirit.

"If anyone dares to target my race’s prodigies again, I will make blood rain down upon this Void!" the Holy Stone Spirit’s ice-cold voice declared.

As his words fell, his finger moved again, tapping lightly toward another Elder of the Kunpeng Race.

"No..." Seeing this, the Elder cried out in despair.

"This..." The members of the Kunpeng Race were completely dumbstruck.

If this continued, wouldn’t their entire Kunpeng Race be wiped out?

This made the many Kunpengs’ blood run cold, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Once upon a time, their Kunpeng Race had been an overlord among the Ancient Great Races. When had they ever been in such a sorry state?

"Shi Zhongling, you are but an Ancient Stone Spirit, yet you slaughter our juniors within the Kunpeng Race’s domain. Do you truly think we are all dead and gone?" Just as the Holy Stone Spirit was about to strike again, an icy voice echoed from the depths of the Kunpeng Race’s territory. Light and shadow flickered in that region, and a man wearing a Ghost Robe emerged.

As the man walked out, his figure was blurry, almost illusory, but the aura he exuded was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

His gaze was imperious, and wherever his line of sight passed, the Void itself seemed to freeze. The terrifying aura made even Ling Fei’s heart skip a beat, despite being under the protection of the Stone Patterns.
