403: First battle with the Corpse Emperor!

“The three corpses separating means there is no true main body; each corpse can be the main body.”

Chu Ying recalled this, realizing it belatedly.

Taking himself as an example, comparing his current self to his self before entering the No Return Land, his current self is definitely stronger.

Therefore, this Di Yi, though one of the three corpses and not the original main body, is not necessarily weaker than the main body.

“It seems you haven't met the other me yet.”

White-Clothed Di Yi smiled faintly, a hint of disdain appearing in his eyes.

If someone posed no threat to him, he wouldn't even bother to look at them; such people were not worth his attention.

So, in his view, this hint of disdain was still a form of acknowledgment for Chu Ying, but the fact that the Demon Corpse hadn't even met him indicated the Demon Corpse hadn't paid him much heed either, so why should he care?

“Oh, that’s probably because he wouldn't dare.”

Chu Ying chuckled, naturally noticing the contempt in Di Yi’s eyes, but Chu Ying didn’t care, because having come this far, victory was destined to be his.

This Di Yi? He had probably dominated for too long and had lost his way on the path of invincibility.

“You also want to enter this divine temple?”

White-Clothed Di Yi narrowed his eyes. A place he himself hesitated to step into, he naturally wouldn't allow others to enter either.

“Are you going to stop me?”

Chu Ying countered.

“Naturally.” White-Clothed Di Yi spoke with a calm and composed expression: “This is an eerie forbidden zone, even I cannot set foot in it, and neither can you.”

“If you don’t wish to die, then retreat.”

Chu Ying suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily. His laughter contained mockery and derision for Di Yi, which caused Di Yi, who usually showed no emotion, to slightly darken his expression.

“Once upon a time, your name was a legend in the Eastern Wilderness, a peerless Tianjiao who suppressed everyone of his generation.”

“It's a pity that was the other you, and the current you probably can't stop me.”

The Blood Drinking Sword in Chu Ying’s hand began to radiate a chilling Shura killing intent, as if it were parched and eager for blood.

Di Yi said no more. He formed his five fingers into a palm and struck out. It seemed like an ordinary palm strike, yet it contained an invincible Dao power that surged forward relentlessly.

This single palm strike could probably instantly kill an Array Formation Realm eighth-level expert.

And Di Yi’s cultivation Realm was also revealed: Array Formation Realm eighth-level!

To be able to Cultivate to such a Realm in just a few short years after entering the Barren Ancient World, if the Tianjiao of the Three Great Empires knew, their Dao Hearts would probably shatter.

“Whether I can stop you, is that for you to decide?” Di Yi’s words reached Chu Ying’s ears, accompanied by that palm strike capable of suppressing everything, shattering all mountains and rivers, and obliterating the sun, moon, and stars.

Chu Ying, however, laughed and said, “I really do decide.”

Chu Ying swung the Blood Drinking Sword horizontally, and the Sword Qi, sharp and imbued with endless Shura killing intent, slashed out.

The power of the six-layered invincible Array Formation was integrated and amplified within it.

Although he was only at the Array Formation Realm sixth-level, his Aura and presence at this moment were in no way inferior to Di Yi’s eighth-level.

Sword Qi clashed with palm wind, stirring up enormous waves. The distant mist around them was swept away like layered clouds, and the void subtly trembled, as if on the verge of shattering under the residual shockwaves of their battle.

“That’s interesting.”

“It seems the Demon Corpse didn’t want to deal with you, but rather kept you to prove a stronger Dao.”

White-Clothed Di Yi suddenly understood. After exchanging one blow, he roughly grasped Chu Ying's strength. While surprised, he also became more composed.

“But you came too early; you’re not strong enough yet.”

White-Clothed Di Yi struck out with his palm again. This time, all eight layers of his Array Formation unfolded simultaneously.

He too walked the path of invincibility! His Array Formation was different from Chu Ying's, but each layer of his Array Formation also constructed his exclusive path of invincibility.

The void trembled, and cracks began to spread.

Di Yi, when truly serious, was absolutely not easy to deal with. Even if the Ninefold King Old Ancestor of the Three Great Empires came, they would likely suffer defeat.

Chu Ying took a deep breath. As expected of his destined great enemy, and this was only one of the three corpses.

Grass Character Sword Secret!

Chu Ying didn't want to hold back. To deal with Di Yi, he had to go all out. Di Yi possessed an invincible belief, and he likewise possessed an invincible Dao Heart!

In the vast expanse of the world, a towering grass seemed to appear, cutting towards the sun, moon, and stars hanging in the Starry Sky.

This was a truly grand invincible belief; even as mere grass, it dared to point its sword at the sky, sun, and moon.

As Chu Ying's most frequently used Archaic Ten Fiends Azure Luan Treasure Technique, the Grass Character Sword Secret, its power was increasingly unleashed by Chu Ying.

Especially after cultivating six layers of Array Formation, each layer of Array Formation could also match with the Grass Character Sword Secret, unleashing even more power.

And it became even more effortless.

Another terrifying clash occurred, and the surrounding void began to develop dense cracks like a mirror, resembling an invisible spiderweb.

A faint darkness seeped out from countless cracks, threatening to engulf both of them.

But neither Chu Ying nor White-Clothed Di Yi paid any attention.

At this moment, a battle between two peerless evildoers who cultivated the path of invincibility in this era was bound to end in a decisive victory or defeat.

“Not bad.”

White-Clothed Di Yi uttered two words, his expression finally showing a slight change, no longer disdainful, but with a hint of solemnity and affirmation.

“The Demon Corpse might not be stronger than you, and of course, he might not be stronger than me either.” White-Clothed Di Yi said, his Aura also subtly rising.

Though his cultivation remained at Array Formation Realm eighth-level, his battle prowess seemed capable of reaching the limit of the Array Formation Realm, just below that of a Venerable.

“As for those I haven't fought, I can't say for sure, but as for you, I can be certain.”

The Sword Qi around Chu Ying grew increasingly sharp and formidable; his entire body had become an ocean of Sword Qi.

Every wisp of Sword Qi contained his invincible belief, his invincible Dao intent.

White-Clothed Di Yi’s eyes became calm. He still used palm techniques.

But this time, all power from all directions seemed to converge towards him; he seemed to become the master of this world.

Behind him, a layer of heaven appeared, seemingly the very world they were currently in.

“I refine the world; I am the master.”

The cultivation method practiced by Di Yi was an ancient Heaven Refining method. Wherever he was, he was the master of that world.

An endless pressure seemed to descend upon Chu Ying, the entirety of this world, everything in the Void Spirit Realm, the Three Great Empires, everything in the entire Barren Ancient World…

Chu Ying smiled silently.

“Master of the world? Why don’t you show me how you master me?”

Behind Chu Ying, a towering Nine-Leaf Sword Grass rose from his Cave Heaven, pointing towards the sky.

Another sword strike!

Dou Zi Magic Verse, hundredfold amplification!

The first two moves largely canceled each other out, and Chu Ying had roughly gauged the strength of this Di Yi. He was terrifyingly powerful.

If he wanted to defeat his opponent, he could only rely on his trump cards, which were both trump cards and part of his strength.

You are indeed very strong, but are you a hundred times stronger than me?

If not, then you will be the one to lose.

The third sword strike, universally enhanced and capable of destroying everything, severing the sun, moon, and stars, fell.

The layer of heaven that White-Clothed Di Yi had suppressed from behind him was pierced with a hole, and then the Sword Qi spread, tearing that layer of heaven to shreds!
