Chapter 1245

Emperor Corpse

This wisp of black gas was extremely illusory, as if it did not exist. When the black gas rose to the highest point in the sky, the wisp of black gas wriggled and turned into a strange human figure.

The appearance of this humanoid figure was very similar to an insect. Its entire body was covered in a thick and sturdy carapace, and its pair of compound eyes contained countless small eyes. It looked extremely strange. If anyone saw this strange humanoid figure, they would definitely recognize that it was the strange monster that had appeared briefly in the dark clouds in the gully just now.

The strange human figure silently looked down at the depths of the gully, its compound eyes revealing a strange expression.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At the same time, the Martial Warriors clashed with their swords because of the coffin. The sound of metal clashing was accompanied by sharp screams, which converged together at the bottom of the ravine. The smell of blood permeated the air from the battle.

Zhuowen and Lü Hantian also arrived at a coffin. During this time, there were naturally many cultivators who did not know better. They tried to bully the two of them, trying to seize control of the coffins beside them. However, after Lü Hantian released the aura of a Third Heaven Emperor, many of the surrounding cultivators slowly trembled in fear. They did not dare to offend Zhuowen and Lü Hantian anymore.

"There are about a few hundred of these coffins in this area. Are they all Emperor corpses?" Lü Hantian narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully.

Creak!

Suddenly, the sound of a mechanism turning slowly rang out. Immediately, the hundreds of coffin lids at the bottom of the gully opened at the same time. A strange black gas permeated out.

"This … What's going on?" Zhuowen was stunned. He looked at the phenomenon of the coffins opening by themselves in surprise.

Many other cultivators who entered the gully had the same doubts as Zhuowen. They did not understand. They had not touched these coffins yet, so why did they open by themselves?

Awoo!

A mournful howl suddenly rang out in the gully. It sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. It was exceptionally frightening.

Boom!

The coffin in front of Zhuowen and Lü Hantian was suddenly opened. Then, a smelly arm stretched out from within the darkness. A thick corpse Qi, which gave off a nauseating feeling.

Then, Zhuowen saw a swollen corpse slowly sitting up from within the coffin. The corpse's eyes were glowing with a strange red light. As soon as it appeared, it stared at Zhuowen and Lü Hantian. A monstrous killing intent firmly locked onto the two of them.

It was not just Zhuowen and Lü Hantian's coffins. Similar things happened in the other coffins. Strange corpses sat up from the coffins one after another. Their eyes were red and filled with bloodthirsty auras.

"Ahhh!"

A blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out. The moment the coffin lid opened, the strange corpse in the coffin leaped up and rushed toward the nearest warrior. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it killed the warriors closest to it.

After killing the cultivators, the corpses reached into the cultivators' bodies with their right hands, dug out their hearts, and swallowed them. Not sure if it was an illusion, Zhuowen discovered that after the corpses swallowed the cultivators' hearts, the auras on their bodies actually swelled. The originally shriveled corpses actually showed signs of being full.

"These corpses are absorbing the cultivators' energy?" Lü Hantian's pupils shrank as he said in shock.

Awoo!

Suddenly, the corpse in front of Zhuowen and Lü Hantian roared. Its red eyes revealed a trace of greed as it rushed towards the two of them.

"Hmm?"

Lü Hantian frowned slightly. With a shake of his sleeve, a terrifying cold air wrapped around the corpse like an ice blade, causing it to fly backwards and crash heavily into the coffin.

"These are all Emperor corpses. Most of them are around the low-level Emperor Realm." Lü Hantian said in a deep voice.

Zhuowen nodded, but he was very puzzled. Why would these Emperor corpses that were buried here undergo such a strange change? Could it be that they had turned into corpses?

Awoo!

Another roar rang out. The Emperor corpse that was sent flying by Lü Hantian stood up and rushed towards them again.

Lu Hantian furrowed his brows and pinched the void with his right hand. Suddenly, a cold white star fell from the sky and heavily suppressed the Emperor corpse. However, what surprised Lu Hantian was that the Emperor corpse was extremely tough. Even when he used the full power of the star to suppress it, it could not cause any damage to its body. The Emperor corpse was even struggling under the star, full of vigor and vitality.

"What a strong physical body. Although this Emperor corpse is only at the First Level Emperor Realm, its physical body is probably not even a Third Level Emperor Realm expert can destroy it." Lü Hantian muttered in a low voice.

Most of the surrounding were Peak Heavenly Venerables. After the initial panic, many Peak Heavenly Venerables gathered together in groups of three to five, blocking the Emperor corpses that rushed out from the coffin. Although they were barely able to block the Emperor corpses, at least the Emperor corpses were unable to harm the Peak Heavenly Venerables that had joined forces.

Zhuowen's gaze fell on Master Mu Feng, who was not far away. After all, Master Mu Feng had said that the bottom of the gorge was the core of the Emperor Tomb. There were many inheritances left behind by fallen Emperor Realm experts. Now that something like this had happened, Master Mu Feng was the one with the biggest problem.

When Zhuowen's gaze fell on Master Mu Feng, he discovered that Master Mu Feng also had a doubtful look on his face. It was as if he had never thought that such a situation would occur here.

Master Mu Feng had gathered Elder Huixie, Mo Yan, Bai Yan, and the mid-level great emperors from the other four islands. With their formation, the surrounding great emperors posed no threat to them at all. Even if some of the foolish great emperors tried to attack them, they would be swept out of the door. There was no way they could get close to them.

"Master Mu Feng, what's going on?" Ye Wuxin asked in displeasure.

As soon as Ye Wuxin's words came out, the others echoed in agreement, expressing the dissatisfaction in their hearts. After all, they did not enter this place to deal with the Emperor corpses that were neither dead nor alive, but to explore the rich resources and treasures inside.

"This gorge is still very large. This is only a small area. This area should be the mechanism set up by the Emperor Tomb's creator, right?" Master Mu Feng replied in an indifferent manner.

Hearing Master Mu Feng's words, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Ye Wuxin and the others gradually faded. Their gazes fell on the area in front of the coffin area. There was a hazy fog lingering in that area, and no one knew where it led to.

"Let's go in and take a look. Perhaps the good stuff is in the depths." Ye Wuxin suddenly said.

The others nodded and did not have any objections. Soon after, the group broke through the air and left. The dozen of them could be considered the strongest group in the Emperor Tomb this time. Their cultivations were all Mid Level Emperor Realm and above. The Emperor corpses in this area were unable to do anything to them.

Grandmaster Mu Feng's departure naturally attracted the attention of the other Di Stage practitioners who were fighting with the emperor corpses. Their eyes flickered as they abandoned the emperor corpses they were fighting. Soon after, they rushed out and followed Grandmaster Mu Feng's group into the depths of the gully.

There were at least a hundred Emperor Realm cultivators who came to the Emperor Tomb this time. Although they were all Low Level Emperor Realm cultivators, they were more than enough to deal with the Emperor corpses in this area. However, after the Emperor Realm cultivators left, the pressure on the Peak Heavenly Venerables in this area increased. The Emperor corpses that were abandoned by the Emperor Realm cultivators gathered in the nearby battle groups, breaking the balance of the entire area.

"Zhuowen!

What should we do? "Lü Hantian's eyes flickered as he frowned.

In fact, Lü Hantian also wanted to follow, but he was a little worried about Lv Yitao and the others. The moment they entered the gorge, he had informed Lv Yitao and the others that they could enter the gorge to search for opportunities. He didn't expect that they would be in such danger as soon as they entered.

"Let's follow them. As for Yitao and the others, I have already sent the Lord of the Absolute Demon to protect them." Zhuowen smiled faintly.

Lü Hantian was completely relieved when he heard this. The Lord of the Absolute Demon was a Third Level Demon Emperor. In a sense, the latter's strength was even more terrifying than Zhuowen's Demon Dao Clone. With the Lord of the Absolute Demon's protection, the safety of Lv Yitao and the others was indeed guaranteed.

After blowing away the Emperor corpse in front of them with a punch, Zhuowen and Lü Hantian looked at each other and also rushed out, entering the fog that obscured their vision.

As soon as the Emperors left, the entire area became even more chaotic. Many peak Heavenly Venerables lost their lives under the joint attack of the Emperor corpses. Their hearts were dug out and devoured by the Emperor corpses, becoming nutrients for the Emperor corpses.

"Go!

Run! "

Finally, some warriors at the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm couldn't hold on any longer. They shouted and used their own methods to escape from the ravine. Of course, those unlucky fellows who tried to escape died even faster. The Emperor corpse was much faster than them. When they tried to escape, the Emperor corpse caught up with them in an instant, killed them with a punch, and dug out their hearts.

In the area of the Emperor corpses, Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, and Qing Lian were struggling to resist the two Emperor corpses in front of them. The three of them also saw the one-sided slaughter around them, and their eyes were filled with fear.

"What terrifying Emperor corpses. Those Emperor corpses have all left. Those below the Emperor Realm are really going to suffer," Lv Yitao said bitterly.
