C537 King Corpse
"Bring me there to take a look." As Meng Xuan spoke, he felt a bright light flash past his mind, as though he had grasped onto something. However, this feeling was extremely obscure and fleeting.
Yao Taixu shot a glance at Meng Xuan, "Can your body allow this?"
"He won't die, don't worry. We can't delay this any longer. Let's go and take a look." After saying that, Meng Xuan and Yao Taixu walked towards the border.
On the other hand, Xiao Huangji and the rest were very relieved. With a human king of the ninth step protecting Meng Xuan, there was no problem at all. Emperor Hongwu was the Demon Emperor. As long as his real body was not present, no one could do anything to Yao Taixu.
"When did you sense the King Corpse?" Meng Xuan asked on the way.
"One month ago, I felt a strange calling power." "About 30,000 years ago, I was separated from that old body."
Thirty thousand years …
Meng Xuan chewed for a while. Thirty thousand years was more than enough time for an old corpse to undergo mutation and regain consciousness. The most bizarre thing that Meng Xuan saw was a King Corpse giving birth to a new consciousness within three years. It seemed like the King Corpse, when alive, would be an extremely powerful cultivator, even after death, it would be above the rest of the world.
At the border between the Demon race and the White Emperor Continent, there was a vast expanse of red land filled with lava. There was not a single trace of life left. At a glance, one could only see a crimson ground, causing one's heart to feel stifled.
Meng Xuan floated in the air, looking far into the distance. A mountain range appeared at the end of the horizon, separating this place from the rest of the world. That was the barrier, preventing the Demon Race from invading.
"It's in that mountain range." Yao Taixu pointed at the mountain range.
Meng Xuan narrowed his eyes. He could feel that this mountain range was extraordinary, containing countless auras of power within it.
"It seems to be the place where the demon race will undergo their transformation." Meng Xuan said.
"That's right. The Great Saint of the Demon Race, Baili Yu, is also undergoing his transformation there." Yao Taixu said. The Great Sage of the demon clan was extremely famous in ancient times. However, the later generations were a bit sad. During the first recovery, their heads were chopped off by Xiao Huang. During his second recovery, Meng Xuan had taken away his transformed Qi and chopped off his head as well. Now he would make the ultimate leap there.
"Corpse rearing area." Meng Xuan thought to himself as he came to a conclusion.
"Don't act blindly without thinking. Take a look first, it's definitely not a coincidence that your old body was able to awaken there. Something must have affected it." Meng Xuan said.
The two of them then hid at the border to observe the situation.
One month, two months, both of them were almost motionless. During this period of time, quite a few devil race cultivators entered the corpse rearing ground, and then began to leave. It was extremely lively.
"Did you find anything?" Yao Taixu asked.
Meng Xuan's expression was serious as he muttered, "Could it be that the Corpse Sect is here as well?"
Time flew by. It had already been three years since Meng Xuan was crippled and more than a year since he had arrived here. In the past year or so, there had not been any strange occurrences.
During the night, starlight filled the sky and flickered with light. It was an extremely magnificent sight. Meng Xuan raised his head as he calculated something. He had also inherited the legacy of the Violet Myrtle Emperor from the treasures of the gods, and was able to view some of the paths through the endless starry skies.
His pupils turned golden and displayed the Eye of God. In the depths of the endless star field, there was a huge galaxy emitting light. This galaxy had over a hundred billion stars, and all kinds of godly lights were constantly falling down.
"So that's how it is." Meng Xuan understood.
"What's going on?" Yao Taixu asked.
"Astral Soul." "That burial site corresponds to the Astral Souls in the starry sky."
Yao Taixu was stunned, "What kind of Astral Soul can make the Corpse King awaken early?"
A strange expression appeared on Meng Xuan's face. "Ordinary Astral Souls are not allowed, but what if it's the Astral Souls of the Four Ancestors?"
Houyi, Ying Gou, Hanba, General … Four Great Zombies.
Yao Taixu's eyes flashed with a hint of shock, "What kind of zombie is so powerful that it can turn into a starry sky after death?"
Meng Xuan said, "That's normal. It's normal for a capable person to transform into a universe after death."0
As the two were conversing, Yao Taixu's body suddenly trembled, "It's here, it sensed me."
"Return to the territory of the White Emperor Continent." Meng Xuan said.
The two of them quietly retreated, lurking within a mountain range in the White Emperor Continent. At the end of the horizon, there was a roar that could pierce through gold, and then a tall, demonic shadow appeared. Its entire body was surrounded by a yellow corpse aura, making it hard to see its face.
His eyes were like lanterns as they emitted a golden light that was three hundred meters long, illuminating this place.
Dong dong dong, dong dong, it took large steps onto the crimson ground. It was as if the earth itself was trembling, and the aura of a human king of the ninth step was spreading outwards. A primal and boundless aura was released from his body, causing the space to distort and collapse.
It was a hundred feet tall, and as it got closer, the corpse aura surrounding it gradually dissipated, revealing its true form.
This was a King Corpse with a body covered in red hair, on its shoulders, its legs were still hung with many small zombies, following its movements, it was swaying, it was very strange. Especially its facial features, its wide mouth had fangs, and its eyes were like green lanterns. A large piece of bone was missing from between his eyebrows, as if someone had dug it out.
The crack was extremely smooth, but with the crack as the center, it was filled with many lines that connected all the major acupoints in its body.
"I understand. You were extracted from his forehead." Meng Xuan narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the markings on its body. "Good technique. All of the essence of his body is on that forehead bone."
Yao Taixu shook his head, "I forgot."
The Corpse King was still approaching, stepping into the intersection, its eyes revealed a human look of hesitation. It was clear that it had a weak consciousness and knew that this place was impassable. Once it approached, it would definitely be killed by the experts of the White Emperor Continent.
"It has already developed an independent spiritual wisdom. Soon, it will be able to cultivate on its own." Meng Xuan said.
The Corpse King ruthlessly stomped its feet, immediately, the zombies hanging on its body were shaken and scattered, screaming as they broke into pieces. The old corpse crawled on the ground, beginning to extract the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing the energy of the stars. Or rather, it could be said that it was intercepting the power of the Astral Souls!
"That's the Zombie Grandmaster's Astral Souls. Just a single strand of it would be sufficient to awaken my Astral Soul." If enough of them were intercepted and fused with its own blood essence, it could even evolve into an ancient Divine Hou. " Meng Xuan said.
Yao Taixu didn't say a word, "When do we make our move?"
"Wait, wait for the weak phase of my Astral Soul to arrive. I'll wake it up." Meng Xuan closed his eyes and a bright light appeared once more in his mind. He rubbed the golden hoop on his head as a crazy and bold thought formed in his mind.
