Chapter 2310 - 2313: The Stunning Divine Corpse and the Exquisite War Goddess (Fifth Update)

Shen Qiang frowned. Now, Athena's Divine Corpse was right in front of him, just a step away. She was the Goddess of Wisdom, War, and Virginity. She should have been dead for at least four thousand years, yet now, feeling as if she were still alive, seemed bizarre.

Keep in mind, even without mentioning the abilities of Dragon Demons.

Currently, Shen Qiang was already a cultivator at the Dao Fruit Stage.

According to the traditions of the Cultivation World.

Cultivators who reach the Dao Fruit Stage are called Dao Lords.

Each one has the ability to establish their own sect and become influential figures in the Cultivation World.

At this level of cultivation, their Sixth Sense far surpasses that of ordinary people, with incredible precision.

"Athena is alive? Impossible, a Divine Corpse is just a Divine Corpse!"

Doubt flashed through his mind in an instant.

But there really wasn't any time to continue pondering.

Because there were only two minutes and ten seconds left.

"Open it."

With Shen Qiang's command.

Beside him, the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang immediately pulled open the curtain.

As the curtain rose, an aura like sunlight began to flow.

On the round platform surrounded by countless flowers, there was quietly a crystal-clear coffin like crystal.

Inside the coffin was a woman dressed in a white long dress, sleeping with her eyes closed, bare feet, and a beautiful smile on her lips—a truly exquisite beauty.

Whether it was her smile or her aura, it made Yu Jiang turn pale and step back instinctively.

And not just him. Beside him, Gui Shu and True Yuan erupted instantly, almost immediately entering a combat state.

Meanwhile, numerous sea demons were pouring in from outside, and although three Great Sea Demons following behind were shocked by the exquisite Athena Divine Corpse in the crystal coffin, they had no choice but to fight.

True Yuan erupted, Gang Wind was fierce.

In an instant, a bloody aura swept through the entire temple.

So much so that even the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang and Gui Shu had to join the battle.

But just as they were fighting fiercely, Shen Qiang was stunned, his mind blank.

Because Athena was indeed very beautiful, more beautiful in appearance than even the stunning actress Song Weiyin or even the Mermaid Princess Qian Ning, but for someone as knowledgeable as Shen Qiang, it was far from enough to stun him this way.

After all, in Shen Qiang's Sea of Consciousness, there was Taiyin Youying.

During the celestial endowment, he had even seen the Central Province Empress Yong Zhen from the Immortal Realm, and compared to her, Taiyin Youying, let alone Empress Yong Zhen, could instantly reduce this Athena to a mere mortal.

So while she was beautiful, to think she could stun Shen Qiang was a fantasy.

Yet even so...

The ultimate reason Shen Qiang's mind went blank wasn't how beautiful she was, nor how strange her aura was, nor her transcendent mystery lasted thousands of years, but because, just at the sight of her,

Shen Qiang was astonished to discover.

This goddess of war, wisdom, and virginity—this Athena, Shen Qiang knew her!

He remembered when first seeing her, that delicate figure streaking across the sky like a meteor.

In the furious Gang Wind currents, tall and slender, exceptionally fair-skinned, wearing a tight short leather armor, youthful and graceful figure, bearing a longsword, yet exuding a chilling aura, the mesmerizing young woman, her powerful vortex lifting her black hair gently in the wind, extremely beautiful side profile, and that athletic, alluring physique stirred a burning impulse in Shen Qiang to see her true face.

Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his lips, his eyes softened inexplicably.

Gazing upon the sleeping beauty in the crystal coffin.

Shen Qiang's heartbeat became agitated as never before!

The Empress with reddened eyes.

Silver sword light shining in the air.

Amidst the splattering blood, the exquisite Empress carried the beautiful severed head in her hand, the remaining alluring body half-kneeling before the Empress, the fair skin making the spattering blood strikingly vibrant red...

It was Qingxuan!

The absolute beauty lying in the crystal coffin, except for her slightly browned, brown hair, her features bore over ninety-nine percent resemblance to Qingxuan!

Haha!

Shen Qiang's eyes brightened, his mind suddenly visualizing the Empress' beautiful red eyes.

The desolate generals!

And the female general who resolutely abandoned everything for just a hope!

Qingxuan!

"It's you!"

In the Sea of Consciousness, excitement instantly surged as Shen Qiang laughed until tears flowed.

"The desperately sought Divine Corpse—it's actually you!"

Qingxuan was utterly shocked.

Entirely bewildered, her gaze complex to the point of complete confusion.

At the same time.

Beside them, Taiyin Youying sat playfully on the son of the Plague Source Tree, swinging her long, snow-white legs, speaking without surprise.

"Listen carefully, Qingxuan, Athena still owes me a flower crown, seven beautiful outfits, remember to return them to me!"

Instantly.

Shen Qiang and Qingxuan, both stared in disbelief at Taiyin Youying.

"I understand now, why, as one of the primordial gods of creation, you would seize Qingxuan's clothes! And press her for them, because you already knew, this Divine Corpse is Qingxuan!" Shen Qiang said furiously: "Why didn't you tell me sooner!"

Looking at the furious Shen Qiang, Taiyin Youying laughed, her charming and teasing gaze as if mocking: "Just because they look identical, does that mean they are the same person? Don't be ridiculous, wake up, lying in the crystal coffin is a War Goddess even I fear!"

"Mistaken identity?" Shen Qiang looked at Taiyin Youying's mocking smile.

Shen Qiang was astounded.

Yet at this moment, for some unknown reason, Qingxuan, typically calm and respectful to Youying, suddenly turned cold, her pride permeating as she coldly said: "Before serving my lord, Qingxuan was a Supreme General, undefeated on the battlefield!"

Instantly.

Not just Taiyin Youying was stunned.

Even Shen Qiang, looking at Qingxuan who always showed him respect but now shot an unhappy look at Youying.

In that moment.

Shen Qiang seemed to once more see that female general clad in short soft armor, bearing a longsword, exuding a brutal aura.

But just then, Shen Qiang's ear suddenly heard the roar of the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang: "Shen Qiang, what are you daydreaming about! We only have one minute left, if we don't act now, none of us will leave!"

The Great Sea Demon King's roar snapped Shen Qiang back to reality.

Almost the moment he regained clarity, Shen Qiang sharply detected a terrifying aura filled with hostility, approaching swiftly, in an astonishing speed.

It was the Sea Emperor!

Shen Qiang realized instantly he had to act immediately, complete Qingxuan's resurrection within one minute to have a chance to take these Great Sea Demons and Qian Ning back safely. Any delay, if they truly clash with the Sea Emperor head-on, even if it's fine for a while, Shen Qiang and company would inevitably be trapped here.

Act now, Qingxuan, I shall bring you back to life!

With this thought, Shen Qiang reached out, channeling True Yuan, and grabbed the handle beside the crystal coffin, pulling hard...

No movement!

Shen Qiang was momentarily stunned, instantly unleashing Fury.

The rampaging True Yuan was infinitely more powerful than before, the terrifying aura scaring the sea demons rushing into battle from Atlantic City as they stumbled all over the place.

Yet under such circumstances, Shen Qiang exerted all his strength to lift it suddenly.

With a slight cracking sound of his bones, cold sweat instantly ran down Shen Qiang's forehead.

Because Shen Qiang, having exerted all his strength, was shocked to find this crystal coffin was as solid as a rock, unwavering under his full-power outburst!

No sign it could be opened!
