366: Chapter 366 Is that a moving mountain?!

This Ancient Corpse-Beast that had burst from the earth did not attack immediately. Instead, it let out a roar that shattered the clouds. Along with this roar, its back, which was already as massive as a mountain, actually began a hair-raising secondary growth.

The hard black crust of the earth was completely overturned.

The full appearance of this monster was finally revealed before the two of them. It was not a giant beast in the ordinary sense at all; on its back, it actually carried a broken black stone mountain that stretched for dozens of miles!

Upon the stone mountain, countless rusted archaic remnant weapons were thrust upside down, and dense white bones were embedded in the crevices of the mountain body, forming a terrifying picture like that of a forest-like Hell.

As this "living corpse mountain" fully stood up, a true Quasi-Emperor Domain crashed down.

The Law of Space within a hundred-mile radius was instantly forced to twist and lock by this Domain power. The air became more viscous than mercury, and gravity increased by hundreds or thousands of times at this moment.

The gray death mist that had been swirling back was directly crushed into pitch-black ice crystals under this heavy pressure, pattering down onto the scorched earth.

Ji Qingyun had just condensed her human form. Although she had the foundation of the Quasi-Saint Realm, her actual combat experience was almost zero. Before this Quasi-Emperor pressure, which was enough to crush the bones of a Saint King, she only felt as if her chest had been struck hard by a ten-thousand-catty heavy hammer, and even her breathing came to a standstill.

Her pretty face, which had just regained a bit of color, instantly turned deathly pale. Her legs weakened, and she fell uncontrollably toward the ground.

At this critical moment.

A strong and powerful arm steadily wrapped around her slender waist, which was barely a handful.

Xu Chen exerted a slight force, pulling Ji Qingyun directly into his broad and warm embrace.

"I'm here. Even if the sky falls, it's not your turn to carry it."

Xu Chen's voice was low and steady, like the most potent sedative, instantly dispelling the fear in Ji Qingyun's heart.

He took a step forward, his tall and straight figure firmly blocking the way directly in front of Ji Qingyun.

The Hongmeng Creation Origin Body operated at full speed, and a layer of brilliant purple-gold halo spread outward with Xu Chen as the center, forcibly opening up an absolute safe zone of about ten feet in diameter within this suffocating Quasi-Emperor Domain.

The gravity Laws and decaying Death Qi that tried to invade the safe zone were domineeringly melted away the moment they touched the purple-gold halo, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

Within the safe zone, the pressure on Ji Qingyun suddenly vanished.

She looked up blankly at the back standing in front of her.

The large red cloak danced wildly in the raging gale.

Xu Chen's shoulders were so broad they seemed capable of carrying the entire Major Thousand Worlds. Facing such an Archaic Ominous Creature that could even swallow stars, his spine did not bend in the slightest.

This was her man.

At the first moment danger arrived, he had instinctively protected her under his safest wings without any hesitation.

An unprecedented warm current surged through Ji Qingyun's entire body.

The trace of nervousness and unease remaining from her first time was completely melted away at this moment.

She reached out both hands, tightly wrapping them around Xu Chen's waist from behind, pressing her cheek against his warm back, her clear eyes flowing with unreserved trust and love.

"It... it seems to have its eyes on me."

Ji Qingyun spoke softly, her voice having less trembling and more dependence.

As the Creation Green Lotus, she could keenly perceive the emotional changes of that Ancient Corpse-Beast. Those two lake-sized masses of green soul fire were currently locked dead onto her.

For a monster living in such a Dead Land, the vast and pure Longevity Origin within Ji Qingyun's body was the most fatal temptation in this world. As long as it swallowed her, this Quasi-Emperor monster might even break the shackles of Death Qi and re-condense a flesh-and-blood body!

"Roar!"

The Ancient Corpse-Beast let out a greedy roar.

Its bloody maw, large enough to swallow a city, suddenly opened. Foul-smelling mucus poured down like a waterfall, dripping onto the black scorched earth and corroding deep, bottomless sinkholes.

Its front claw, like a pillar that propped up the sky, was raised high. Carrying the world-destroying Quasi-Emperor Law, it slammed down fiercely toward the position where Xu Chen and the other were.

With this strike, it wanted to crush that meddlesome human into meat paste and swallow that fresh Green Lotus in one bite!

The gale tore through the firmament.

Facing this world-covering strike, Xu Chen's gaze turned completely cold.

"You want to eat Xu Chen's wife? I'm afraid your rotten bones don't have the teeth for it!"

Xu Chen sneered.

"Qingyun, close your eyes, lest these dirty things soil them."

Xu Chen gently patted the pair of jade-like hands wrapped around his waist, his tone gentle.

Ji Qingyun nodded obediently and submissively closed her long, autumn-water eyes, burying her cheek deeper into Xu Chen's clothes.

Having comforted the beauty in his arms, when Xu Chen looked up again, the tenderness in his eyes had all turned into cold and ruthless, heaven-shaking killing intent.

Heavenly Dao Divine Pupils, open!

Deep within his eyes, brilliant golden runes flowed frantically.

Time was infinitely slowed down in Xu Chen's vision. That giant bone claw covering the sky shed its terrifying appearance in his eyes, turning into lines interwoven by countless Death Qi Laws.

Although this Ancient Corpse-Beast possessed power at the Quasi-Emperor level, it was, after all, a walking corpse. Its Moves were wide and sweeping, full of openings.

The gaze of the Divine Pupils penetrated the layers of obstacles of that black corpse mountain, accurately locking onto a core lifeblood located deep within the monster's heart. As long as that was shattered, this overbearing giant beast would instantly be reduced to a pile of lifeless mud.

"Found it."

A bloodthirsty curve curled at the corner of Xu Chen's mouth.

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers tightly gripping that ancient and heavy Black Demonic Sword.

"Buzz—"

The Supreme Sword Heart inside his chest let out a high-pitched and impassioned sword hum.

A sharp and matchless Sword Intent soared into the sky, directly piercing through the heavy and oppressive Quasi-Emperor Domain above. The purple-gold Hongmeng Creation Qi was like angry dragons, surging frantically into the sword body along Xu Chen's arm.

On the pitch-black blade, an illusory phantom of a Nine-Leaf Sword Grass gradually emerged.

This sword strike condensed all of Xu Chen's Late Stage Saint King cultivation and further merged the Longevity Origin power obtained from the Dual Cultivation just now. The purity of the Sword Intent was enough to make the heavens and earth change color and startle both ghosts and gods.

"Get down for me!"

Xu Chen bellowed. The blue veins on his right arm bulged, and the Black Demonic Sword, carrying the terrifying power to sever the starry river, slashed upward diagonally without flinching, meeting the falling giant bone claw.

The purple-gold sword light turned into a startling rainbow thousands of feet long, vividly illuminating the core of this eternal night's forbidden zone.

Two world-destroying forces were about to have the most violent collision in mid-air.

The barriers of the entire Myriad Realms Battlefield seemed to let out an overburdened wail under this level of power.

At the very instant Xu Chen's sword light was about to strike the Ancient Corpse-Beast!

Above the Nine Heavens, the firmament suddenly split open.
