Chapter 1347: Falling Like Rain

Within Kyoto, aside from those in the Great Victory Dynasty’s royal family who have arrays and innate spiritual treasures for protection, all other twelfth-tier masters are dead!

Dead thoroughly, all have become the nutrients for the Corpse Ancestor. Facing the Corpse Ancestor of Taiyi Realm, even cultivators of the Celestial Immortal Realm are nothing but ants to be crushed effortlessly.

However, even though the masters of the Great Victory royal family are not dead, they are in a miserable state, each heavily injured.

At this moment, the Corpse Ancestor is not in good shape either; its power has fallen from Taiyi to Golden Immortal level, and its power continues to plummet. Its rate of absorbing essence blood cannot keep up with its Essence, Qi, and Spirit leaking; a Golden Immortal is only one realm higher than a Celestial Immortal; though it possesses the vision of the Daluo Realm, it is already struggling against those wielding spiritual treasures.

Luckily, as its power falls to the Golden Immortal level, the rate of its decline begins to slow, and although its strength continues to drop, the situation is significantly improved compared to before.

Zhang Chen glanced at the battle, knowing the Corpse Ancestor would not easily take down the royal masters in a short time. His figure flickered, reappearing inside the Academy; he has coveted the bizarre creatures sealed there for a long time. Within the Academy are tens of thousands of sealed aberrations, and if he could seal them all within his Ice Hell, how much would his Ice Hell evolve?

His Ice Hell has a unique trait: the more bizarre creatures sealed, the stronger the power.

The Academy is in chaos now, with corpse insects descending from the sky everywhere, and creatures falling from the Spiritual World. The scholars within the Academy have their power suppressed by Dragon Qi; now, they are no better than mortals, crying and shouting desperately as they scatter to flee.

Zhang Chen arrived at the underground palace, surrounded by Five-Colored Divine Light, constantly brushing across the doors of the cells he passed. With a flash of the Five-Colored Divine Light, all the bizarre creatures within the cells disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Chen strolled through the corridors, with the Five-Colored Divine Light flowing like water, passing through rooms where all bizarre creatures fell into the Ice Hell, imprisoned within.

The underground palace has seventy-two levels, and Zhang Chen spent half a day walking back and forth. Fortunately, there were no scholars inside at this time, because the outside world was shaken by mountains falling from the Spiritual World, causing a great earthquake in Kyoto. Fearful of being buried alive, countless scholars fled the underground passage with terrified expressions, making Zhang Chen’s task much easier.

When Zhang Chen crawled out from the underground space, the battle in the sky had changed once again. The ancestors of the Great Victory royals were all dead, Mr. Da had lost an arm, and three Innate Divine Spirits were half destroyed. The situation was utterly miserable.

The most crucial point is that the Corpse Ancestor’s aura has now fallen from the Golden Immortal realm to the Celestial Immortal realm because of the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in Kyoto, which suppressed its restless Origin. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi ceased to dissipate, and though it is bare-handed, with the insight of a former Daluo level, its understanding of the Law of Heaven and Earth allows it to hold its own against the three Divine Spirits.

“You should all die! You should all die!” The Corpse Ancestor cursed as it battled the three Divine Spirits, “You’re nothing but ants, and you dare fight against me, the ancestor? If you kneel and surrender, I might consider sparing you; otherwise, today is your day of death.”

The three Incense Divine Spirits are merely twelfth-tier, yet to attain Dao Fruit, still a realm below the current Corpse Ancestor. Although the three possess royal treasures for empowerment, they still struggle against the Corpse Ancestor with Primordial Daluo realm.

The Corpse Ancestor has fallen in realm, but retains its insight, casually overpowering the three Divine Spirits. It occasionally blows up one of the Divine Spirits, which instantly resurrects under the power of incense. Though their strength and cultivation decrease, they do not fall below the twelfth-tier realm.

Seeing the undying three little tough ones, the Corpse Ancestor felt utterly troubled, with a hint of helplessness in its eyes. What could it do? It’s desperate too! The troublesome nature of the Incense Divine Spirits lies in their immortality as long as the power of incense remains.

Especially with Kyoto at the center, thousands of miles around suffered natural disasters; countless civilians, near death or in peril, sincerely prayed to the Divine Spirits. The power of incense was exceedingly robust, pure, and strong, causing the three Incense Divine Spirits to seem immortal under a vast supply of incense. Even if blasted, they can resurrect in a moment.

If it were the Corpse Ancestor at its peak, it would have enough Divine Techniques and time to erase the beliefs of the three Divine Spirits, destroying their Incense Golden Bodies. But it simply doesn’t have the means now.

At this moment, Kyoto was in turmoil, with zombies running rampant, sucking blood. All those bitten by the Corpse Ancestor turned into zombies, wreaking havoc throughout Kyoto.

The three Divine Spirits facing the mighty Corpse Ancestor quietly lamented; despite holding treasures, they suffered bitterly.

The monster before them is immortal, its body Vajra Unbreakable; even a full-force attack landing on it doesn’t scratch a hair on its body.

How can we fight when we’ve attacked with all our might and still can’t break through the opponent’s defense?

The Mr. Da over there, with a weary expression on his face, had already sensed something was amiss. The Origin within him was becoming unstable, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were starting to flow towards the great Heaven and Earth. At this moment, he was truly frightened. Without the ability to be Immortal, facing the attacks of the Corpse Ancestor had already left him severely injured. He could only maneuver around the sides, not daring to advance too much.

At this time, centered on the battle between both sides, within a ten-mile radius, the souls and blood of all living creatures had been completely absorbed by the Corpse Ancestor. All life within ten miles had perished entirely.

Zhang Chen stood below, watching the distant battlefield. A hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He gestured towards the distant battleground, and the next moment saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc in the arms of the Corpse Ancestor fly out and fall into his palm.

The Corpse Ancestor’s cultivation had now fallen to the Celestial Immortal Realm, and naturally, he couldn’t suppress the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. All Zhang Chen needed to do was think, and the treasure would come to him.

The battling sides in the battlefield were all startled by Zhang Chen’s actions and looked over with amazement in their eyes.

“It’s you!!!” The Corpse Ancestor, upon seeing Zhang Chen, already sensed Zhang Chen’s Qi Mechanism and gritted his teeth. Immediately abandoning the three Divine Spirits and Mr. Da, he directly charged towards Zhang Chen: “Return my treasure!”

With the world changing drastically and unable to access the Spiritual World, his only hope lay in the Six Paths of Reincarnation before him. If he could control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he might still cling to a slim chance of survival.

“It’s him!!!” The three Divine Spirits over there stopped their hands, took the opportunity to recover their Primordial Qi, panting, and looked at Zhang Chen standing there in shock, clearly recognizing Zhang Chen’s origin.

Mr. Da also, with a pale face, looked at Zhang Chen and asked, “How does this monster know Zhang Chen? It seems as if they have a deep-seated grudge?”

The few people were puzzled in their hearts but did not go up to support him, instead taking the time to restore the Primordial Qi in their bodies.

Zhang Chen watched the charging Corpse Ancestor, casually stored away the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile: “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”

Zhang Chen also had a covetous heart towards the Corpse Ancestor, who was indeed a true Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. As long as he could provide enough Primordial Qi, he could quickly recover his realm. If he could subdue him, in the future, Zhang Chen would have a great ally in the Chaos.

The most crucial part was that Zhang Chen had mastered the Corpse Control Skill, and this old fellow was essentially a zombie in human form. It seemed he might have an opportunity to gain control over him.

However, due to the concentration of Essence Qi dispersing from the Corpse Ancestor, his strength remained at the Celestial Immortal Realm, and Zhang Chen did not wish to engage directly with this old fellow, lest his Essence Qi be leaked to the Heaven and Earth. So when he saw the Corpse Ancestor charging aggressively, Zhang Chen quickly said, “Old Ancestor, hold your hand, I have something to say.”

The Corpse Ancestor had already been awakened by Zhang Chen in the Spiritual World and had a deep grudge against him. Now that the other party had also taken the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which was his only hope, why would he stop? Without saying a word, he lunged, intending to tear Zhang Chen apart.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen secretly shook his head. While he didn’t want to fight, it didn’t mean he was easy to provoke. Seeing the Corpse Ancestor coming aggressively, not intending to give him a chance to speak, Zhang Chen lightly dodged the Corpse Ancestor’s attack and then stepped back. On the ground, six Body-Stabilizing Runes had unknowingly appeared among the ruins. Using the dust as cover, they were not easily noticed.

The Body-Stabilizing Rune had already broken through to the Law Level, shattering the twelfth-tier shackle, able to immobilize someone at the Celestial Immortal Level. As the Corpse Ancestor stepped forward, his eyes filled with hatred, his heart entirely entrusted to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he paid no attention to the talismans beneath his feet and unguardedly stepped right onto them, freezing in place the next moment.

“My Body-Stabilizing Technique can only hold this old fellow for thirty breaths. He has residual Primordial Saint Origin Imprints on him, and even though he’s lost the methods of a Primordial Saint, he’s still not someone ordinary methods can deal with.” Zhang Chen looked at the immobilized Corpse Ancestor, and the Body-Stabilizing Rune sent a response, opening the Ice Hell the next moment, directly locking the Corpse Ancestor inside.

As for using the Corpse Control Skill to refine the Corpse Ancestor, now was not the time, with people from the Great Victory Dynasty eyeing him from the side.

Just as Zhang Chen took away the Corpse Ancestor, the four people observing from afar were all stunned, staring at Zhang Chen with shocked expressions, amazed by Zhang Chen’s incredible techniques.

“Where is that monster?” Mr. Da first flew over and asked a question.
