589: The corpse of the fiery soul follows you!

Lin Yang's talent was monstrous.

But to the Black Mist Figure, no matter how stunning it was, it was nothing special.

Life, to him, truly had no value at all.

The only thing he cared about was the "Boundary."

"If I hand over the 'Boundary,' will you not invade my mother universe zone?"

Lin Yang was silent for a moment before asking.

Of course, his voice did not travel out; it was blocked by the Black Mist Figure using an inexplicable power.

It was obvious that the Black Mist Figure did not want anyone else to know about the appearance of the "Boundary."

As for the bargaining now.

That was because Lin Yang could sense that although this Black Mist Figure could forcibly take his "Boundary," it seemed that because the "Boundary" was almost fused with his soul, this person did not want to take it by force.

The Black Mist Figure replied in the same cold tone: "Your Universe Zone is equally worthless to this deity."

Lin Yang immediately understood that this guy had only come for the "Boundary."

Handing over the "Boundary" would save his life and protect the mother universe zone.

This choice was not difficult for Lin Yang to make.

Although the "Boundary" possessed all sorts of incredible abilities, at this moment, handing over the "Boundary" was clearly the best course of action.

"Fine, you swear a Dao Oath, and I will hand over the 'Boundary.'" Lin Yang looked at the mass of black mist.

"Hmph, kid, this deity is never threatened by anyone. Either you obediently hand over the 'Boundary' of your own accord, or this deity will kill you and take the 'Boundary.'" The Black Mist Figure snorted coldly.

Lin Yang's eyes narrowed: "If you act like this, I cannot trust you."

Although he felt that this guy only came for the "Boundary," without an oath, there was no guarantee or credibility.

"You have no choice!" The Black Mist Figure snorted coldly.

Lin Yang fell silent again.

Yes, he truly had no choice.

But.

"I indeed have no choice, but I can also sense that if you forcibly take the 'Boundary,' it seems you will lose something. So, if you want me to cooperate and hand over the 'Boundary' willingly, you had better swear a Dao Oath!"

Lin Yang stared straight at the Black Mist Figure, showing no fear.

Admittedly, this guy could easily kill him with a single slap.

But at this moment, an inexplicable intuition made the "Boundary" his reliance.

This feeling was strange, but he could just sense that the "Boundary" seemed to have merged with his soul, and if the guy in front of him took it by force, it would trigger some consequences that the Black Mist Figure was unwilling to bear.

Therefore, he turned the tables and threatened the Black Mist Figure instead.

The Black Mist Figure also fell silent.

Its cold gaze cut across Lin Yang's face like a knife.

A moment later.

The Black Mist Figure laughed: "Kid, I have to say you have guts, and you are very sharp. Indeed, although this deity does not wish to lose anything, since you dare to threaten me, then you have brought death upon yourself!"

Whoosh.

Following those words, a wisp of black mist diffused from the Black Mist Figure and lunged straight at Lin Yang.

"Since you won't cooperate, then you might as well die." The Black Mist Figure laughed eerily.

Lin Yang's heart sank, but he also laughed: "Heh, you never intended to let me go from the start. Putting on that act of only coming for the 'Boundary' was just to make me hand it over willingly, right!"

The Black Mist Figure smiled noncommittally.

Obviously, he tacitly admitted it.

"You want to get the 'Boundary'? Dream on!" Lin Yang's eyes were dim as he ordered the System to prepare to activate the escape channel.

But this time, the System did not respond. Instead, it said urgently: "Host, the Space-Time Signal Beacon has received a special existence. Please summon it here."

"Hmm?" Lin Yang couldn't help but be stunned. "The Space-Time Signal Beacon actually received someone?"

He was very surprised.

So many years had passed, and there had been no movement from the Space-Time Signal Beacon, yet at such a critical juncture, it actually received someone?

But the System must have had its reasons. He had no time to overthink and immediately established a connection with the Space-Time Signal Beacon.

The next instant.

Lin Yang was dumbfounded.

"Th-that is..."

Lin Yang was stunned.

What the Space-Time Signal Beacon had received was not a person!

To be precise, it was a corpse.

A broken corpse!

Half of the body had already rotted, revealing ghastly white bones.

The other half was wrapped in equally broken armor, making it impossible to see if it was also rotting inside.

The corpse's head was also completely covered by the armor, not even revealing its eyes.

The armor was covered in dark red.

This dark red was clearly the color of blood that had turned dark red after being soaked in countless amounts of blood and eroded over the years.

In the right arm wrapped in armor, it still held a long halberd that was also more than half broken.

Desolate, bleak, and ancient.

Waves of indescribable feelings radiated from the corpse, infecting Lin Yang's emotions.

It was as if he saw a warrior holding a long halberd fighting on a battlefield in the endless years past, finally falling, with no one left around, all comrades dead, on some unknown, barren battlefield.

Boom!

The next instant, a terrifying will suddenly burst forth from the corpse, startling Lin Yang into a cold sweat instantly.

"Ho...me..."

"Ho...me..."

"Go... ho...me..."

"This is... ho...me..."

The corpse moved.

It seemed very excited.

"Host, quickly invite the senior to return home. Please ask the senior to fight once more to defend our homeland!"

The System's voice also rang urgently in Lin Yang's ears.

This time, the way the System addressed the corpse made Lin Yang feel deeply shocked.

The System actually addressed this corpse as a senior!

"System, you..."

Lin Yang was surprised, but he had no time to ask in detail. He immediately followed the System's instructions and transmitted a will through the Space-Time Signal Beacon.

"Senior, junior Lin Yang is honored to welcome you home. However, our home in the mother universe zone is currently facing a Dark Invasion. The enemy is suspected to be a Transformation Dao Realm Dao Sovereign. Junior is unable to resist, so I implore you, Senior, to fight for our home once more!"

Swish!

As the will was transmitted, Lin Yang felt his vision blur. The broken corpse seemed to have truly understood his words, crossing the vast distance in an instant to appear before him.

Then.

The corpse moved again.

It stood up.

Clang!

An unknown sound echoed throughout the dark spacetime.

The corpse swung the long halberd in its right arm, throwing it through the air directly at the Black Mist Figure.

The Black Mist Figure's expression changed drastically, and it cried out in shock and anger: "This is... Damn it, it's a Fierce Soul!"

It glared at Lin Yang: "Little thing, you can actually summon a Fierce Soul warrior to fight again?"

The Black Mist Figure's words were filled with intense shock.

"Fierce Soul warrior?" Lin Yang frowned. This was the first time he had heard this term.

But he quickly guessed that this should be the same as Heroic Soul Warriors, just that different people had different names for them.

The Black Mist Figure was now somewhat furious: "Damn Xiao Hu, it was this deity who underestimated you, and underestimated this Universe Zone. To think that these damned Fierce Soul warriors still exist here. You're lucky today. Once this deity deals with this Fierce Soul warrior, it will be your death day!"

Having said that, the Black Mist Figure instantly turned into clusters of black mist and vanished on the spot.

It didn't even go to seize the "Boundary" anymore.

The speed at which it fled was astonishing.

"This..." Lin Yang blinked, somewhat not expecting the Black Mist Figure to run away directly.

He couldn't help but look at the corpse, feeling very shocked in his heart.

Just a corpse, and it actually scared a Transformation Dao Realm existence into running away directly. How powerful must this corpse have been in its lifetime?

Lin Yang found it hard to imagine.

Swish, swish, swish!

The corpse threw the long halberd repeatedly.

With every strike, a cluster of black mist was destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, only one cluster of black mist remained.

That was the true form of the Black Mist Figure.

Hum.

The corpse moved again, chasing directly after the fleeing true form of the Black Mist.

One person and one corpse vanished into the dark spacetime in an instant.

The scene returned to calm.

But everyone, including Lin Yang, was not calm in their hearts.

A corpse of unknown origin was actually chasing a Transformation Dao Realm Dao Sovereign existence, forcing it to flee for its life.

This scene was too shocking.

Suddenly.

Lin Yang felt something in his heart and bowed from afar in the direction the corpse had chased: "Thank you, Senior, for repelling the strong enemy. I will temporarily take over here, and I will definitely protect our home from being destroyed!"

"Ho...me... Go... ho...me..."

"Wait for me..."

"Go home..."

A will came from afar, seemingly acknowledging Lin Yang's words.

Afterward, all connection between Lin Yang and the corpse disappeared completely.

"Senior... has gone to focus on hunting down that Black Mist Dao Sovereign." Lin Yang felt this inexplicably.

There was also a sudden, indescribable sadness in his heart.

These seniors who had died for who knows how many years still cared about their homeland even after death.

Even with broken corpses, they still had to fight to defend their homeland and could not rest in peace.

"It is because I am too useless." Lin Yang whispered.

"Host, you have already done a great job. These seniors will not blame you for disturbing their rest; on the contrary, they will be very happy to be able to return to their homeland through the summoning."

"They have been drifting outside for too long."

At this moment, the System, as if it had human emotions, actually spoke to comfort him.

Lin Yang couldn't help but look up: "System, do you know something? Can you tell me?"

"Host, regarding the situation of these seniors, this System has only unlocked a little bit of relevant information."

The System rarely didn't say it couldn't disclose, but instead answered directly:

"This System only knows that they are heroic martyrs who died while dealing with strong enemies in the very distant past. Their greatest wish before death was to return to their homeland and take a look."

"The Space-Time Signal Beacon can summon the remaining wills of these heroic martyrs, or rather their obsession, and guide them back. And you were very lucky to have welcomed one such senior back home at this critical moment."

Lin Yang fell silent, then asked: "What happened in the very distant past? What kind of great war was it?"

He was a bit curious and also found it hard to imagine.

If even a corpse could chase and kill a Dao Sovereign, what kind of great war must it have been for such existences to be unable to escape?

"Sorry, Host, regarding the situation of the great war, this System has not yet unlocked the relevant information database. Please continue to work hard to improve your cultivation."

"..." Lin Yang was speechless.

Afterward, he looked at the many Guiyuan Realm onlookers.

And also, a figure in green robes.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Clearly, the scene of the corpse chasing the Black Mist Figure had shocked everyone, and from then on, no one dared to easily take another step forward.

Lin Yang knew that this time, with the appearance of the Senior Corpse, the Universe Zone had been temporarily defended.

Even a Dao Sovereign could be chased and killed by the Senior Corpse, so how could others dare to have any ideas?

After all, no one knew if there were other equally terrifying corpses still hidden in the dark that hadn't appeared yet.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully defending the Universe Zone temporarily!"

The System also gave a reminder in time.

But it did not distribute any rewards.

Clearly, before the Boundary Wall was completely repaired, all successes were only temporary.

However, despite this, Lin Yang felt much more relaxed in his heart. From the beginning of the great war until now, it had finally given him a chance to breathe.

But immediately after, he discovered something wrong.

"Huh? This green-robed powerhouse is clearly not within my senses, yet I can actually see him?"

Suddenly, Lin Yang noticed the green-robed powerhouse hidden in the dark spacetime.

This green-robed powerhouse seemed to be completely in another spatial layer. He shouldn't have been able to discover him, but for some reason, he was actually able to see the other party.

And as Lin Yang looked at this person, the eyes of the green-robed figure also revealed a trace of surprise. They looked at each other from across different spatial layers, and then, his lips moved slightly, and he softly spat out two words:

"Interesting."

Boom!

Lin Yang only felt a roar in his head, as if the sound of the Great Dao had impacted his soul, causing him to lose focus for a brief moment.

"This... is... a Dao Sovereign?!"

Lin Yang also understood in an instant that this green-robed figure was actually also a Dao Sovereign-level existence!

In an instant, his heart became vigilant again.

He could not be sure if this Dao Sovereign had also come for the "Boundary."

But immediately after, Lin Yang discovered that after he regained his focus, when he looked at the place where the green-robed figure had been, he could no longer see the other party. The other party seemed to have already left.

"Was it the temporary power given to me by the Senior Corpse that allowed me to discover that green-robed Dao Sovereign?" Lin Yang was silent.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart again.

That green-robed Dao Sovereign didn't seem to have discovered the existence of the "Boundary."

The Boundary Wall returned to quiet.

Occasionally, some Dark Creatures would smell the scent and approach, but they were also killed directly by Lin Yang.

"Let's disperse, everyone. This Universe Zone cannot be taken."

Someone suddenly spoke and left with a sense of regret.

"Haha, today we have witnessed a miracle. An intact Universe Zone was actually defended by someone!"

"This Universe Zone is too heaven-defying. There is a person at the Returning Origin Realm level who has mastered the Power of Rules and Dao Method, and there is that eerie and terrifying corpse. Who else could possibly invade it!"

"Let's go, let's go. After today, the name of this Universe Zone and the name of Your Excellency Lin Yang will resound throughout the entire Endless Spacetime."

"What was this Universe Zone called again? Wan Qian Universe Zone, right? From now on, the people of this Wan Qian Universe Zone in the Endless Spacetime will all benefit from it."

"I'm really envious, being able to have such a powerhouse's protection."

"..."

The Guiyuan Realm spectators all discussed as they left again.

Before long, most of them had left.

Over a hundred people remained, still standing in place.

Lin Yang couldn't help but look over and frowned: "Why aren't you leaving? Do you still want to invade?"

Hearing this, the hundred people immediately shook their heads one after another.

Following that, they seemed to have long selected a representative, who spoke and bowed to Lin Yang:

"Lord Lin Yang, we stayed behind because we want to follow you!"

"Hmm? Follow me?" Lin Yang was stunned.
