Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1720 - 207: Giant Corpse, Killing Array

The Soul Emperor felt as if his bloodline and bones had been stripped away, time seemed to slow to an unbearable pace, and he could only endure bit by bit, then gradually struggle out from an unknown space.

Gradually, the feeling of pain vanished, and the Soul Emperor felt as if he had escaped from some kind of prison, his body becoming incredibly light.

However, instead of feeling joyful, the Soul Emperor was genuinely stunned when he emerged.

He was lying like an insect on the brow of a giant corpse.

At the brow of the giant corpse, a massive fissure could be clearly seen.

The fissure resembled an eye, just that this eye was extraordinarily large, so large that the Soul Emperor’s body was merely one percent of its size.

The Soul Emperor had crawled out of this eye.

The eye was pitch black, devoid of any focus, its gaze scattered without any luster like a Martial God.

Yet, at the center of the eye, there was a broken crack, which shattered the core of the eye, revealing an endless crevice.

And that crevice was the terrifying spatial rift halo the Soul Emperor had seen before.

The Soul Emperor managed to stand up, staring intensely at the eye’s fissure, completely dazed.

He never imagined, despite being so powerful, that he would crawl out from the eye of a giant corpse.

So, what exactly was he? Was he a tiny insect within the brow of this corpse?

Or was he a life form within the space created by the corpse?

The Soul Emperor was stunned for a long time, then unleashed his power; various energies existed, but he could sense he was no longer at Great Perfection in the Evil Venerate Realm.

Since breaking through into the Evil Venerate Realm, he felt incredibly complete, flawless.

Thus, the Evil Venerate Realm was merely the pinnacle, reaching this realm meant achieving the utmost, unable to progress further.

Even absorbing any energy to enhance combat power was impossible.

Not even a bit could be improved.

The Soul Emperor always believed, that Tao Establishment was the ultimate.

But now, after crawling out from the brow of the giant corpse, he immediately sensed his realm was just at an origin state, still in the Evil Venerate Realm, with abilities intact, his Tao Establishment domain at his forehead still exists, but he no longer felt any limitations, lacking a sense of Great Perfection, actually sensing, within Evil Venerate Realm, the long-awaited opportunity to progress and break through once more.

This realization left the Soul Emperor in a daze for a long time.

Eventually, the Soul Emperor activated his powers and ascended, surveying the surroundings.

Upon sight, his face darkened again, a sense of dread filled his heart.

For beside the gigantic corpse stood an ancient lonely tomb, but the tomb had been excavated, and while the coffin remained, its lid was opened.

The Soul Emperor flew over, his gaze fixated on the opened coffin lid. Through the sculpted marks on the lid, he instantly discerned the situation.

This coffin was crafted from Emperor Crystal, comprised of nine layers.

It was the Nine-layered Coffin, a nested coffin with nine layers in total.

Yet, apart from the first layer of the coffin remaining, the rest had mysteriously vanished, all taken away.

The body within the coffin was overturned, casually discarded beside the deserted tomb.

The colossal corpse lay exposed as if in the desolate wilderness.

The Soul Emperor ascended into the Void, gazing down at the corpse.

With that glance, his face suddenly trembled, an expression of extreme horror emerged.

"How can this be!"

"This is impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"Why is it like this!"

"Why is it him!"

The Soul Emperor was stunned for a long time, his entire being seemingly frozen.

This dazed state lasted for several hours.

After several hours, the Soul Emperor regained his senses, then heaved a deep sigh, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

This is a dark Void Land, much like the previous voids, without boundaries or end.

However, this void is clearly a Desolate Domain. Beyond the Desolate Domain, the Soul Emperor is certain that he can find traces of the remaining Ancient Lands.

Out of the Nine Ancient Lands, only a few have appeared before, and at least four Ancient Lands comparable to the Time Ancient Land still remain unknown.

Now, in this void, the Soul Emperor believes that he can certainly discover the existence of those Ancient Lands.

However, at present, the Soul Emperor lacks the confidence to compete with those Four Ancient Lands because, upon reaching this void and realizing that the Evil Venerate Realm can progress further, the Soul Emperor has thought of many things.

In this void, since the Evil Venerate Realm can advance further, and he himself is trapped by that giant corpse in a world within the corpse’s forehead, for unimaginable ages.

In such ages, how powerful have the other existences in the Evil Venerate Realm become?

The Soul Emperor can no longer imagine, so he dares not randomly travel through this void at this time. This void is clearly grander, more formidable, and more incredible than the previous void where Tao was established.

Precisely because of this, the Soul Emperor gradually calmed his emotions and steadied the turbulence within his heart.

The Soul Emperor pondered for a long time, and then he looked at that mysterious crack, intending to enter it again.

Exiting is feasible, but entering is no longer possible.

This scene made the Soul Emperor’s expression even grimmer.

However, the Soul Emperor did not hesitate and quickly began constructing strange Arrays on all four sides of the crack.

Once the Soul Emperor started, all his various abilities began operating, and the ancient Array immediately possessed extremely powerful attacking capabilities.

The Soul Emperor quietly watched the Array take shape, and the previously unsettled heart fully settled down.

At this moment, all he thought about was further improving his own abilities.

Only when his strength has increased can he face the Holy Spirits in the remaining Ancient Lands.

The Soul Emperor did not seek out the Holy Spirits of the other Ancient Lands, nor did he have any intention of leaving this place. Instead, as his Array was being established, it further resonated with the aura of the Heavenly Dao here. The purpose of this is self-evident.

The Soul Emperor’s abilities, when facing the strong of unknown Ancient Lands, are admittedly somewhat insufficient. After all, he originates from within that ancient giant corpse, while the other side is equal in capability to this giant corpse.

Now, through this giant corpse, the Soul Emperor has confirmed one thing—he, the Pan Emperor, and Zhou Yan are all life forms from within the corpse. However, after reaching the end, the three of them controlled all the fundamental energies of this corpse and refined all the Life Origins of this corpse, thus reaching their current state.

But those existences in the unknown Ancient Lands are not like this. They are a whole, like that giant corpse.

In other words, their most basic strength is at least three times stronger than his foundation.

If their Combat Power is of the same level, the gap wouldn’t be significant.

But a gap of over three times on such an enormous foundation becomes unimaginable.

Imagine, if there were three Pan Emperors or three Zhou Yans fighting against him, the result would be predictable. Such a battle would end in an extremely short time.

Now, externally, the Soul Emperor has adopted a means of concealment, meaning that his Array has further hidden this solitary tomb area.

Of course, the Soul Emperor did not change anything in this domain; the atmosphere of solitude and desolation remains unchanged. Meanwhile, internally, the Soul Emperor has set up an extremely terrifying killing move.

For this killing move, the Soul Emperor has even released nearly ninety percent of his own abilities.

This is where his boldness lies.

If successful, he could kill the Pan Emperor and Zhou Yan, refine all their life essences, and thus become a new existence, possibly surpassing that ancient corpse.

But if he fails, he would also perish completely, and all arrangements would ultimately fail.

Yet, at this point, there are no other options.

The Soul Emperor, having come this far, naturally has his pride and great courage.

The Soul Emperor begins to constantly perfect the Array. This formidable Array even starts to align with the crack on the forehead of the deceased corpse, generating a unique force.

This force is a temptation, a summoning for the existence of the Evil Venerate Realm in the Ancient Lands.

This temptation and summoning aura, amplified by the Array, is enhanced tenfold.

The initial temptation, the Soul Emperor could sense, also causing him to lose composure.

Now, enhanced tenfold, it will surely push the mental state of the Pan Emperor and Zhou Yan to the point of collapse. By the time they crawl out of the crack, they will encounter a series of terrifying attacks, during which they are likely to be killed instantly.

At the original level, achieving this was akin to dreaming, but under current circumstances, it is no longer challenging.

Because now, having left that ancient corpse, the Soul Emperor has broken free from shackles; his abilities can grow.

In this Heaven and Earth, in this void, there exists faint energy, still sourced from that ancient corpse, and also from the Crystal Coffin whose lid has been lifted.
