Chapter 1401: Martial Ancestor vs. Corpse Emperor

A voice containing grandeur rang through the sky for a long time. Under that sound, a vast sea of thunder surged from nothingness, and above it, a majestic figure also appeared outside of the plane.

The figure was holding the Lightning Emperor Staff, on which flashes of lightning shined. Each ray of flickering lightning caused the heavens and earth to shake. The silhouette was dressed in purple and black robes as he stood tall in the sea of thunder. His expression was firm and steady, as if he possessed infinite power.

When this figure appeared, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s face changed, and his gaze grew solemn. He said darkly, “I didn’t expect to meet the Martial Ancestor here.”

The border of the Great Thousand World was guarded by the Martial Border and had contact with the Extraterritorial Race. The Martial Ancestor had clashed with many formidable characters of the Extraterritorial Race, so his prestigious reputation resounded even within the Extraterritorial Race.

“Martial Ancestor?!” In the Lower Planes, Reverend White Dragon looked at the figure who appeared outside the plane in utter shock. For those who came from the Lower Planes, the Martial Ancestor was legendary, and he had never thought that he would see him in person one day.

Reverend White Dragon sighed and immediately looked towards Mu Chen, deeply impressed. “I did not expect that Young Brother Mu had such strong connections, that he could even invite a character such as the Martial Ancestor.”

It was no wonder that even though he had seen the arrival of a Heaven Demon Emperor, Mu Chen had not shown much panic. He still had such means in his hands, which made White Dragon most impressed. The young man had truly made his mark in the Great Thousand World…

Mu Chen smiled at Reverend White Dragon’s exclamation, then looked up into the sky. One was a Heaven Demon Emperor, and the other was a Divine Heavenly Sovereign. This encounter would be an amazing show.

Outside the world, the Martial Ancestor’s deep, unfathomable eyes first looked at the Lower Planes. With his power, he could easily know what had happened in this plane with a brief scan. A cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Martial Ancestor was also from the Lower Planes, so he knew very well what a terrible nightmare the Extraterritorial Race was to the humans and creatures there. In the past, in his Lower Planes, even his wife gave her life to help him in order to destroy the demons.

All this led to Martial Ancestor’s hatred of the Extraterritorial Race. It was like a replay of the story. Waves of emotion surged in his eyes as he glanced at the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor.

“Corpse Demon, you should hide in your realm. How dare you wreak havoc in my Great Thousand World and Lower Planes!” The Martial Ancestor’s cold voice reverberated as billions of peals of thunder roared, shaking the sky.

Although the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was wary of the Martial Ancestor, he was also a clan leader, after all. Listening to the Martial Ancestor’s insults, he was furious but smiled. He may have only been a palm, but the present Martial Ancestor was obviously only a Spiritual Energy Manifestation. Thus, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was not afraid. Although the other party was famous, he was no pushover, either.

The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor pointed at Mu Chen in the Lower Planes and said coldly, “Martial Ancestor, this fiend killed my son and almost slaughtered the Fiend Blood Clan. If you hand him over today, I will leave.”

The Martial Ancestor looked towards Mu Chen and smiled. He said appreciatively, “If so, he has done very well.”

The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s face twitched as he said eerily, “It seems that Martial Ancestor doesn’t want to settle this amicably today.”

The Martial Ancestor smiled and said, “Who wants to settle this amicably with you? Today, I will be sure to collect your palm.”

“Hmph, I don’t believe it. With your mere Spiritual Energy Manifestation, what can you do to me?” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor mocked him. Since they could not come to a compromise, he did not hesitate further. With a wave of his sleeve, thick corpse gas permeated the air and covered the skies.

Roar!

All of a sudden, a roar rumbled from the corpse gas. Hundreds of skeleton corpse beasts burst out, and above each one there was an extremely strong fluctuation. These skeleton corpse beasts had clearly been specially created by the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor. The beasts had very strong physical bodies, especially their heads. Even a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign would be at a loss as to what to do.

The Martial Ancestor stepped on the sea of thunder, and his gaze did not fluctuate as he looked at the group of roaring beasts. He thumped his Lightning Staff on the ground, and lightning and thunder raged through the sky.

As lightning and thunder surged, the Lightning Emperor Staff transformed into a massive Lightning Dragon. As the dragon circled the space, one could not see the end of it. Lightning bolts surrounded its body as all kinds of colors constantly changed. Every lightning bolt seemed to have extremely destructive power.

Mu Chen looked at the Lightning Dragon solemnly. In his perception, the Lightning Dragon was extremely extraordinary, and it did not look inanimate. It seemed to be sentient, like a true Lightning Dragon. If he encountered this Lightning Dragon, he would not necessarily be able to gain much of an upper hand.

Roar!

Mu Chen was startled as the Lightning Dragon roared in the sky. Its open mouth was like a black hole, and hundreds of millions of thunder and lightning bolts shot out. They were like chains of lightning piercing directly through the void, entangling the corpse beasts.

Clatter.

The chain shook, shot backwards, and tied up the corpse beasts. They finally fell into the Lightning Dragon’s mouth. Swallowing the corpse beasts, the Lightning Dragon belched and patted its abdomen contentedly. It then turned into lightning and transformed back into the Lightning Emperor Staff in the Martial Ancestor’s hands.

When the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor saw this, his face darkened. His corpse beasts contained the most domineering Corpse Demon Venom. If other Heavenly Sovereigns and Demon Emperors had encountered it, they would have been eroded and became corpses themselves. However, when they had been swallowed up by the Lightning Dragon, he could feel an extremely ferocious force neutralize the Corpse Demon Venom. Obviously, the Martial Ancestor had easily countered his means.

The Martial Ancestor glanced at the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor and remarked nonchalantly, “Now that you’ve made your move, if you can resist my move, I’ll let you go today.”

“How arrogant!” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was enraged but laughed. He was a Heaven Demon Emperor but now was repeatedly mocked by the Martial Ancestor. How could he not be furious? “I would like to see today how worthy you are. How dare you speak to me like this!”

However, in the face of the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s anger, the Martial Ancestor was unbothered. With a thought, a halo emerged from behind his head. The halo was in the form of a ring, and on it were eight colors. They were clear and distinct as the halo rotated slowly.

Whoosh!

The eight-colored halo shot out and expanded in the wind. It instantly became tens of thousands of feet huge, and shrouded heaven and earth. The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was enveloped in the halo’s center.

“Hmph!” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor snorted coldly as thick corpse gas surrounded him. In the next moment, droplets of black corpse water dripped down from his body.

The black corpse water, known as, “abominable corpse water,” was thick and pungent, as if it were filled with the indescribable gas of death and extinction. Even if just a drop fell into the Lower Planes, the entire plane’s hundreds of millions of creatures would be turned into corpses and carcasses.

“Go!” With a flick of his finger, the drops of black corpse water burst out into a small stream. It seemed silent, but when it passed, even the void gave off a breath of stillness. The corpse water stream polluted the world and finally clashed with the massive eight-colored halo.

The abominable corpse water had the power of filth. When it came into contact with any spiritual energy, not only was the energy infected, but it even spread to the form’s physical body, depriving it of its vitality and turning it into a skeleton. Under such evil water, no matter how tenacious one was, one couldn’t live.

Therefore, when the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor saw the corpse water fall on the eight-colored halo, he immediately revealed a cold smile. The Martial Ancestor was formidable, but he was too proud. And today, this pride would be his fatal flaw.

Pshh!

The corpse water came into contact with the eight-colored halo and began to corrode it, trying to erupt its force of terrible erosion and filth.

Boom!

However, the eight-colored halo suddenly burst out with bright splendor. Eight spiritual lights flickered on it including lightning, darkness, ice… The eight kinds of spiritual light each represented a different nature of spiritual energy. They were incredibly strong but had no resistance to each other. Instead, they blended with each other as a brilliant flame rose on the halo. The flame was extremely wonderful. It was seemingly fire, but there was cold ice and thunder flickering within it…

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen could not help but sigh. It was rumored in the Great Thousand World that the Martial Ancestor had the most spiritual attributes. It seemed that it was true, indeed.

This extraordinary fire swallowed and puffed, engulfing the abominable corpse water. The flame burned, and the corpse water turned into light smoke and dissipated. The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s face immediately changed, as he was filled with dread. This flame seemed to have the power to destroy demons.

Before he could have any more thoughts, the eight-colored ring of fire suddenly shrank. It had been a million feet in size before, but in the next moment, it surrounded the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s body and shrank rapidly to bind it. The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s eyes narrowed as his body expanded, trying to shatter it.

Whoosh!

At this point, the eight-colored ring of fire fell upon his body, and in the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened. The eight-colored fire invaded his body, and in a flash, he was ablaze.

Ahh!

The flame was obviously terrifying and unstoppable, and even the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor could not resist it. He yelped in agony, and in just a few moments, his body melted down and turned into a charred, dry hand.

Bang.

The eight-colored ring of fire shook as the palm turned into powder and scattered into nothingness.
