298: Chapter 298 The Blood of the Sovereign, Immortal and Undying

His cultivation level during his lifetime wouldn't have been too low, even if his Primordial Spirit is only just beginning to recover.

He might have been a Sovereign-level powerhouse; although he died while sealed, the peerless expert, the Taiyin Sovereign, used the Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Array to lock him away.

With the suppression of the Heaven-Burial Coffin as well, a starved tiger is still bigger than a horse; after all, he is a King of the Corpse Clan.

If one were to say Hun Tiandi could turn his hand to make clouds and turn it back to make rain, annihilating things with a flip of his palm, even as the high-and-mighty Clan Leader of the Hun Clan back then...

Even the Hun Tiandi who possessed the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng wouldn't dare to brag like that.

He himself couldn't believe it.

According to the stone tablet's records, the Heaven-Burial Coffin at the bottom of the Dead Silent Ice Lake could no longer suppress General Jiang Li, because after the Taiyin True Fire was refined by him...

The Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Array was broken; one only had to wait for the nine Corpse-Suppressing Nails to fall off.

King General Jiang Li would then break the seal and descend upon the Fighting Qi Continent.

"Hey, what's written on this stone tablet?" Xiao Xiao interrupted, looking at Hun Tiandi, whose expression had changed drastically.

"Run now, as far as you can. The master of this tomb is about to wake up; it will be extremely dangerous to stay any longer!"

Hun Tiandi said solemnly. But Xiao Xiao's beautiful eyes were fixed on him, as if trying to see a hint of change in his expression.

Unfortunately, there was only solemnity.

"What else?" Xiao Xiao asked again.

"Also, the stone tablet records the Sovereigns Blood; General Jiang Li is on the verge of resurrection precisely because of this supreme divine blood!"

Hun Tiandi said helplessly; what time was it that she was still fussing over what the stone tablet recorded?

The Sovereigns Blood?

A brilliant light erupted in Xiao Xiao's eyes. If she could obtain the Sovereigns Blood and use its divine power, it might even be possible to advance to a Dou Di.

"Let's go find the Sovereigns Blood."

"Are you crazy?" Hun Tiandi's face was dark and his voice cold as he prepared to turn and leave.

"Let's go!" With a wave of her wide sleeve, Xiao Xiao swept Hun Tiandi along toward the depths of the Ancestor Hall, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement.

"Jie jie jie, so this is her true strength..." Hun Tiandi stopped struggling and allowed Xiao Xiao to take him into the deepest part of the ancient hall.

In the blink of an eye, the two passed through the stone gate. The ground was covered in corpses, and skeletons were piled up like mountains everywhere.

On the central altar sat a primitive palace lantern.

Its appearance resembled a lotus flower, much like the Lotus Lantern from mythology.

However, it was blood-red all over, like a flawless blood-jade crystal lamp, looking extremely eerie.

In the center of the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, there was no wick; instead, a single drop of golden blood surged in mid-air.

It floated and burned like a golden wick, emitting the light of a flame.

Its aura was vast and ancient, primordially supreme, seemingly eternal and immortal.

Specks of lamplight scattered through the air, illuminating the hall brightly. Countless phantoms circled the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, chanting celestial melodies in a flickering haze.

"Let me go. This should be the Sovereigns Blood you care about..."

Hun Tiandi spoke slowly, and hearing this, Xiao Xiao set him down.

"The Sovereigns Blood, immortal and indestructible... This Saint has finally found you..." Xiao Xiao whispered, completely unconcerned about what Hun Tiandi knew, as she gazed greedily at the Blood Jade Palace Lantern.

"'This Saint'? A Dou Sheng?"

Hun Tiandi's expression remained unchanged, but a storm brewed in his heart. This Xiao Xiao didn't look old, yet her strength was so great—horrifyingly so!

Looking up, above the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, an immortal energy radiated, connecting to the void and tearing open a rift.

Countless bolts of lightning gathered, forming a vortex of a sea of thunder.

At the center of the vortex, a brilliant purple light, carrying infinite power and countless mysterious pitch-black energies, continuously cascaded down.

They poured into the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, flowing over the golden blood.

Then they were injected into the altar below.

The pitch-black power, containing mysterious runes and boundless resentment and malice, was drawn from endless space.

After being transformed by the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, it was injected into the mysterious altar, carrying an aura of immortality.

"The Sovereigns Blood!"

Hun Tiandi stared at the drop of golden blood, his pupils shrinking as his expression shifted.

A flicker of heat appeared deep in his eyes. If he refined and swallowed the Sovereigns Blood, who knew to what level the Blood Scripture would evolve?

But it was merely a thought; even if he were really given it to swallow, he wouldn't dare.

He was absolutely certain that if he swallowed it, his body would surely explode.

The Sovereigns Blood—the power of a lifetime, the essence of flesh and blood, immortal and indestructible!

Rumor had it that if one obtained and refined it, they could enter the supreme Dou Di realm and master the secrets of immortality.

When such a divine object appeared before one's eyes, no one could control their desires or prevent greed from arising.

With heavy breathing, even the heart of samsara deep within his soul began to tremble slightly...

No one can refuse immortality; no one can refuse eternal life!

Even if the claims about the Sovereigns Blood were exaggerated, it was definitely the greatest fortune on the Fighting Qi Continent.

Boom...

Endless black energy was cleansed by the blood of the Blood Jade Palace Lantern, transformed into golden runic energy containing immortality, and poured into the altar.

Simultaneously, in the depths of the Dead Silent Ice Lake, golden energy radiated from the black Emperor's Coffin, burning like a ball of flame.

The Heaven-Burial Coffin!

It began to roar and tremble violently, as if a peerless malevolent god was awakening within it.

Endless blood qi, nether baleful energy, and malice continuously poured into the Heaven-Burial Coffin, into the Corpse King inside.

His long black hair fluttered wildly, and a mysterious golden rune flickered on his forehead, bursting with intense light.

A kingly majesty was gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the Dead Silent Ice Lake, the pitch-black surface surged like a spring, bubbling with a gurgling sound.

"Hmm?" A sense of absolute danger rose in Hun Tiandi's heart. His mind raced, and an unbelievable thought emerged.

"Is it possible... this old monster is about to be resurrected?"

"Damn it, wasn't it said that during recovery, he would be at his weakest?"

Hun Tiandi thought in terror, nearly fainting.

Once the old monster broke out of the Heaven-Burial Coffin, even the Child of Fortune would be helpless.

With Hun Tiandi's current cultivation and trump cards, he couldn't break through the physical body of such an old monster; instead, a single instinctively released breath could kill him.

"It's very dangerous here. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late..."

"The master of this tomb will never let us off easily..."

Hun Tiandi continued to advise.

"No matter. With the trump cards I have, even if the tomb's master is resurrected, this Saint will suppress and kill him!"

Xiao Xiao's enchanting eyes were full of greed; she even had the confidence to suppress and kill the tomb's master.

This scene was extremely laughable in Hun Tiandi's eyes; he hadn't told her the tomb master's true identity before.

He had hidden his identity and told her the secret of the Sovereigns Blood being in the tomb.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be this calm.

Jie jie jie!

Hun Tiandi laughed strangely in his heart. Xiao Xiao was plotting against him, and he was also plotting against her; they would see who was more skilled.

On the surface, he pretended to have a gloomy, extremely ugly expression, even appearing to have no strength left to complain.

"Hehe, if you're obedient, once I get the Sovereigns Blood, I might give you a sliver if I'm in a good mood..."

Xiao Xiao said coldly. Beside her, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's beastly eyes flickered, filled with vigilance, because from atop the Blood Jade Palace Lantern...

...it sensed the aura of a world-shaking malevolent god, which made this giant snake, possessing the lineage of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, somewhat uneasy.

But since its master had entered, as a Companion Magical Beast, it naturally couldn't be an exception.
