153: Heavenly Corpse Lord

Xiao Zhuo’s pupils contracted sharply; this was the true Twofold Corpse Dao Domain, and this was its genuine form!

Moreover, this eerie guardian seemed different from previous ones, possessing a certain level of sentience.

However, time was too short for him to ponder further.

Xiao Zhuo was instantly locked down by the endless corpse miasma and the resentful Death Qi from the corpse tide below, as if he were in a sea of Nine Nether corpses.

The Blood Fiend Qi around him automatically surged to protect his body, isolating the encroaching corpse miasma, producing a violent “hissing” reaction.

But he could clearly feel that the terrifying corpse poison and corrosive power contained within the corpse miasma were slowly but steadily eroding his protective Blood Fiend Qi.

The dark-gold headless Refined Corpse slowly floated up, standing at the center of the surging corpse miasma, the devouring vortex at its head spinning like a black hole, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

It raised a dark-gold arm and pointed it at Xiao Zhuo from afar, and a cold, emotionless vertical pupil seemed to open within the vortex.

“Blood food… come into my urn!”

A terrifying suction force, ten times stronger than before, erupted suddenly!

Its target was Xiao Zhuo!

This time, the suction not only acted on his Physical Body but also seemed to forcibly tear out and devour the space around him, along with the Qi and blood magic power within his body, and even his Divine Soul!

Xiao Zhuo grunted, his figure suddenly stalling in mid-air, his protective Blood Fiend Qi violently fluctuating, showing signs of being pulled away from his body!

More than half of the Blood Cloud beneath his feet instantly dissipated!

On the Blood Fiend Plaza, countless gasps of cold air rang out.

The white-haired elder’s expression of admiration had long since frozen, replaced by solemnity and a hint of disbelief: “This is Heavenly Corpse True Lord, who was from the same era as Old Ancestor. When he was in the Void Refining Realm, he challenged our Blood Palace’s Blood Fiend Tower, and his ranking was even above Old Ancestor’s, at three hundred and one! Xiao Zhuo is in danger!”

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in the eyes of several Blood Palace True Disciples.

“Three hundred and one?!” The white-haired elder’s exclamation was like a clap of thunder, and the Blood Fiend Plaza instantly fell silent. Ranking three hundred and one, the mark of a peerless Vicious Beast who contended with Old Ancestor! The schadenfreude in their eyes completely froze, turning into icy fear.

The terrifying devouring vortex’s suction force surged tenfold, Xiao Zhuo’s figure was stagnant as if trapped in a quagmire, his protective Blood Fiend Qi violently fluctuating, on the verge of being completely stripped away!

Just at this critical moment—

Blood light burst from Xiao Zhuo’s eyes, and instead of retreating, he let out a low roar that shook the Soul: “Blood Fiend returns to Origin, Divine Blood burns the body!”

“Om—!”

The surging and frantically tearing Blood Fiend power around him, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly rolled back, forcibly compressed and refined by him, and all integrated into the most Origin place within his body!

On the surface of his skin, ancient and profound dark-gold blood patterns suddenly lit up, flowing like living things!

A terrifying sense of power, originating from the primordial era, erupted from every inch of his muscles, bones, and flesh!

A layer of dark-red flames enveloped his entire body!

Innate Blood God Body’s innate Divine Ability, Divine Blood, was fully activated! His Physical Body was unleashed to its limit!

“Roar!” Xiao Zhuo’s throat rumbled with a beast-like roar, and his body, which had been somewhat hunched by the suction, suddenly straightened!

He stepped on the Void Realm with both feet, and with a burst of pure power, he actually stomped out dark cracks like a spiderweb in the space beneath his feet!

The terrifying force, enough to pull mountains, could no longer shake him in the slightest!

Like a burning dark-red star, he charged fearlessly towards the black hole-like devouring vortex!

“Overestimating yourself!” Heavenly Corpse True Lord’s intent was chilling.

The vortex at the dark-gold headless Refined Corpse’s head spun faster, and the suction intensified.

At the same time, its giant fist, gleaming with cold metallic luster, carrying the pure Corpse Evil Qi and immense power capable of shattering stars, tore through the boiling corpse miasma and smashed down towards Xiao Zhuo!

Where the fist wind passed, space let out a piercing wail!

“Come!” Xiao Zhuo’s eyes burned with pure Battle Intent, and he likewise punched out!

On the fist’s edge, there was no magic power radiance, only terrifying power, refined to its extreme by the Divine Blood, solid as substance!

And a layer of viscous, deep, dark-red blood flame, emitting an aura of destruction and corrosion.

Boom—crack—!!!

Two disproportionate fists collided head-on at the center of the surging corpse miasma!

This time, it was no longer the dull explosion of energy, but a heart-stopping metallic roar, like two divine mountains crashing!

The terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring shape, and the vibrations generated by the pure Physical Body power clash instantly pulverized the rotting corpses and skeletons within dozens of miles below, the earth cracked, and the city walls collapsed like rotten wood!

Xiao Zhuo’s body shook violently, the Void Realm beneath his feet exploded again, and he was forcibly smashed back dozens of feet by the terrifying recoil!

The God-Slaying Blood Flame covering the surface of his fist fluctuated violently, and the dark-gold divine patterns flickered unsteadily.

And the dark-gold Refined Corpse, its massive body also swayed violently, staggering back half a step!

On its indestructible giant fist, at the central point of contact with Xiao Zhuo’s fist, a clear, indented fist print had appeared!

At the edge of the fist print, the dark-gold metallic luster was eroded to a dull grayish color, and wisps of dark-red blood flame, like living things, tried to drill in!

Emitting a “sizzling” corrosive sound!

“What a tough bone!” Xiao Zhuo shook his slightly numb fist, his Battle Intent growing even fiercer in his eyes.

The corrosive power of the God-Slaying Blood Flame failed to instantly break through the opponent’s dark-gold corpse body!

“Roar!” Heavenly Corpse True Lord’s intent was a mix of shock and fury; he had never felt such terrifying power and strange flames from an opponent of the same cultivation level!

The vortex at its head spun frantically, and gray-green Corpse Evil Qi surged like a torrent into the damaged fist, and the indented fist print was rapidly repairing itself!

At the same time, its massive body erupted with even more terrifying speed, its fists transforming into a sky full of dark-gold fist shadows, each punch tearing space, carrying the Evil Qi of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, raining down on Xiao Zhuo like a storm!

Fist winds surged, and the corpse miasma boiled!

“Afraid of you? Never!” Xiao Zhuo let out a long roar, the Divine Blood surging like a Dragon within his body, and the God-Slaying Blood Flame around him burned fiercely!

He did not dodge or evade, meeting the attack with both fists!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Dense, thunderous, terrifying impact sounds wildly exploded in the eighth-floor space!

The two of them, like two ancient Savage Beasts, engaged in close combat in the most primitive and violent manner!

Every collision erupted with visible shockwaves!

Xiao Zhuo’s body was constantly forced back by the opponent’s wild power, and the Void Realm beneath his feet was like shattered glass, cracking with every step!

His dark-gold divine patterns constantly lit up, counteracting the terrifying recoil that could shatter the internal organs of ordinary Void Refinement Peak Cultivators, while the God-Slaying Blood Flame on his body stubbornly corroded the opponent’s dark-gold corpse body with every collision, leaving behind specks of scorch marks and tiny cracks.

And Heavenly Corpse True Lord was not having an easy time either!

Every punch from Xiao Zhuo was as heavy as a falling star!

Although he couldn’t instantly break through its defense, the pure power impact combined with the omnipresent corrosion of the God-Slaying Blood Flame meant that its repair speed was far from catching up with the destruction speed!

The dark-gold fist edges were covered with dense pits and cracks, and the light of Corpse Evil Qi repair became increasingly dim!

This was a Peak contest of pure power versus indestructible defense!

Fists met flesh, and black blood flew!

“Corpse King Golden Body!” Heavenly Corpse True Lord, unable to achieve victory after a long assault, was furious!

The vortex at its head suddenly contracted, and a purer, more ancient dark-gold light instantly covered its entire body!

The wounds on its body, corroded by the God-Slaying Blood Flame, were forcibly suppressed and healed!

The entire corpse body exuded a terrifying aura of invincibility and immunity to wan fa (myriad laws)!

It clasped its fists together, as if wielding a dark-gold mountain, and with the will to crush everything, it smashed down towards Xiao Zhuo!

This was the ultimate explosion of its Physical Body power!

“God-Slaying Blood Flame, burn!” A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Zhuo’s eyes; facing this terrifying blow, he advanced instead of retreating!

The Origin Divine Blood within his body burned wildly, and the God-Slaying Blood Flame on his body instantly surged several times, its color as deep as congealed blood!

He likewise launched both fists, and on the fist edges, the blood flame was highly condensed, almost turning into solid dark-red crystal diamonds!

Boom—clang—!!!

This collision surpassed all previous ones!
