137: A Broken World
Xiang Tiange grew anxious and wanted to call Lin Ye back, but at this moment, Lin Ye seemed to have been bewitched, slowly walking up in front of the Ancient Corpse.
"Hehehe... Your choice is correct, descendant of sinners, I will protect you as you suppress all ages!"
Lin Ye reached out a hand, grasping towards that ancient and dull-looking rod.
Because of excitement, the entire body of the Ancient Corpse trembled slightly.
He had waited for this day for too long!
The people previously lured in by the Immortal Hall were all too weak and simply could not touch the long rod in its chest.
But the two people in front of him were different; one was an Absolute King Body, and the other was a descendant of sinners.
Regardless of which Physique it was, they could definitely pull out this long rod, and when that time came...
The Ancient Corpse thought well, and Lin Ye indeed did just that.
Lin Ye reached out a hand, his five slender fingers touching the long rod made of some unknown metallic material.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The tone of the Ancient Corpse became excited: "As long as you pull this thing out, I will give you whatever you want. The secrets of your Bloodline? The protection of a powerhouse! Even the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I can help you..."
Pfft!!!
A dry sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and the words of the Ancient Corpse came to an abrupt halt.
Because he discovered that not only had Lin Ye not pulled the long rod out, but he had actually pushed it further in. What was the meaning of this?!
Lin Ye looked at the Ancient Corpse in front of him with a "kind" smile.
"You're too good at bragging; you're going to give me the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Who do you think you are? Are you really an Immortal come to life?!"
While smiling and speaking, Lin Ye pushed the long rod further in with force, and even to prevent the long rod from slipping out, the qiankun ring on his finger flashed, and numerous talisman papers inscribed with runes appeared in his hand.
Papapapa!!!
Those talisman papers were slapped onto the long rod one by one by Lin Ye.
"What are you doing?!"
The roar of the Ancient Corpse made the entire dilapidated great hall tremble, and the numerous corpses that were bowing also fell to the ground in disarray.
Xiang Tiange also walked up at this moment and gave a heh heh smile to Lin Ye: "I knew you weren't the type of guy to be easily bewitched. Is this thing sturdy? Don't let him out; I still have some runes here, let's reinforce it further!"
"You... you all... fine, fine, fine!!!"
The Ancient Corpse was so angry that his speech was trembling; he had never imagined that these two brats would be so shameless.
It was one thing not to help him escape.
But what the hell was the meaning of you guys reinforcing it?!
Lin Ye looked at the long rod in his hand; to be honest, it was a pretty good Magic Treasure, and if it could be pulled out, it would probably be a top-tier Sharp Weapon.
But now was not the time.
He didn't know what Realm the Ancient Corpse in front of him was in; if the long rod were pulled out, the mere pressure from the body alone would be enough to kill him and Xiang Tiange.
As for what the Ancient Corpse said earlier about being able to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao?!
Pfft!
Whether that thing was useful or not, as a Son of Destiny, could Lin Ye not know?
All that talk about Heavenly Dao oaths and Karma was complete nonsense; if it were really useful, then the Heavenly Dao would have to be striking down lightning and thunder all day long!
So, the Ancient Corpse's previous words might work to fool others, but to fool him?
Did he think he was an idiot!
Crack, crack, crack, crack...
Perhaps it was because Lin Ye was using too much force, but a harsh sound of bones grinding came from the body of the Ancient Corpse.
To ensure that the opponent could not get out, Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange continuously took out various treasures from their own little stashes, all for the purpose of keeping this long rod sealed inside.
"Damn it! You two are damned!!!"
The Ancient Corpse let out a roar, and waves of corpse Qi gushed out; this corpse Qi landed on the corpses in the great hall, causing all of them to stand up.
He didn't know if it was because of this long rod.
Those who could be in this great hall were certainly not weak, but there was not the slightest pressure on these corpses, as if it had all been suppressed.
Apart from being sufficiently tough themselves, they were just normal corpses.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ye's resolve to not let this Ancient Corpse out deepened even further.
Otherwise, if this thing came back to life, wouldn't the first thing it do be to come after him?
Thinking of this, the actions in Lin Ye's hands became even faster.
Feeling the long rod getting closer and closer to his own corpse body, the Ancient Corpse hurriedly spoke: "Stop! Don't continue! I can tell you everything you want to know, as long as you don't continue!"
Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange were not affected in the slightest, continuing to Seal the long rod on their own.
"I'm telling you! If you continue, I guarantee I will take you down with me!!!"
Hearing this, the two stopped their actions.
They both raised their heads to look at the Ancient Corpse, not understanding where he got his confidence, when he was clearly firmly nailed to the chair by this long rod.
If he had that ability, wouldn't he have broken free himself long ago?
Or did he have some other means?
Just at this moment, the Ancient Corpse slowly spoke: "You don't think that I am the only one in this great hall, do you?"
"..."
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for the Ancient Corpse to continue.
After all, he also felt that this matter was a bit suspicious; such a strange great hall, such a strange Ancient Corpse.
Could he really subdue it so easily?
Thinking about it, it didn't seem realistic; if it were that simple, where did the countless corpses in the great hall come from? Although he couldn't feel their aura, just by looking at their powerful Physical Body, he knew they were definitely not weaklings.
"Hehe..."
The Ancient Corpse sneered, and then the walls of the great hall began to flicker with a ghostly light.
Hum...
An image slowly unfolded before their eyes.
They saw the walls of the great hall seem to turn into a pane of glass, and outside the glass was a desolate Universe???
Stars were shattered, all things had ended, and the broken bodies of countless living beings drifted in the Universe; this was a completely shattered world.
At the end of the Universe, there was a mountain larger than the stars, and from that mountain, strands of ominous aura emanated; if one looked closely, they would be able to discover that the mountain was covered everywhere with broken human heads.
There was also a huge corpse lying across the mountain peak.
Everywhere was filled with blood and bones; this world seemed to have experienced countless great wars, and this tragic scene was shocking.
"What is this place?"
Xiang Tiange was also stunned when he saw this world; he seemingly had never heard of any place where such a tragic war had occurred.
"Hehehe..."
At this moment, the Ancient Corpse laughed somewhat eerily.
Then he spoke: "Descendant of sinners, you have seen this shattered world, right? This is the world where you once existed. The powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Domains destroyed your Universe, and all things withered; therefore, you are destined to stand on the opposite side of everyone."
