217: Ling Tianhou's inheritance!

The anomalies in the heavens and earth immediately attracted the attention of the Evil Lord and Marquis Ling Tian.

At this moment, the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse, under the combined influence of these two souls, turned its head and stared intently at the silver-robed figure in the sky.

"Thunder Emperor?"

"Master!"

The next second, two shouts, with distinctly different tones, erupted from the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's mouth.

The giant's face, at times filled with terror, at times with respect, yet also tinged with a hint of shame, such complex changes made the giant's expression very bizarre, yet also extremely reasonable.

After all, within this Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse, there were two souls, both now deeply shaken by the arrival of the silver-robed middle-aged man.

"It seems this immortal art is effective!"

Seeing the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's reaction, Xia Fan was delighted, very satisfied with the immortal art of Nightmare, "Even these two ancient beings will fall obediently before the immortal art, Nightmare."

"However, it's also thanks to those jade slips!"

The image of the silver-robed Thunder Emperor before him was merely something he had sketched based on a portrait he had seen once in a jade slip; before casting the illusion this time, Xia Fan wasn't very confident and had been feeling uneasy.

However, perhaps due to the complicated thoughts of the Evil Lord and Marquis Ling Tian, it actually succeeded this time.

As he pondered, Xia Fan's gaze fell upon the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse, observing it carefully for a while, then he murmured, "Looking at the giant's state, it's clear he has taken the silver-robed man in the sky for the Thunder Emperor, and believes it implicitly."

"Is this an ancient Immortal Emperor? As expected, majestic and extraordinary!"

"His Majesty will also have this day, it's only a matter of time!"

In the distance, the two beasts, Diamond Cutter and Jin Ling, also had eyes full of awe, and were now looking at the silver-robed man with utmost reverence.

Only the Magic Cat knew that all of this was an illusion, an illusion constructed by Xia Fan!

"Marquis Ling Tian!"

In the sky, the Thunder Emperor's eyes flickered, resting on the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse for a moment, seemingly discerning the reality within, then he shook his head with a look of disappointment, "So many years have passed, and you still haven't succeeded."

"You have failed to live up to This Master's expectations..."

"Master..."

Upon hearing this, the soul belonging to Marquis Ling Tian within the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse instantly showed a hint of shame, causing the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse to slowly lower its head, "This disciple is incompetent, allowing this Evil Lord to occupy me for so many years, disgracing the sect!"

"But please rest assured, Master, today, I will make this Evil Lord completely perish!"

All of a sudden, Marquis Ling Tian's voice was filled with determination, as if in an instant, he had made an irreversible decision.

"Ah..."

The next second, a roar spread, full of terror and pain, and after a moment, an angry shout came from the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's mouth, "Marquis Ling Tian, are you mad?!"

The Evil Lord had already understood Marquis Ling Tian's plan, and couldn't help but be extremely furious, "What good will it do you to perish with This Lord? After so many years of mutual torment, are you willing to be annihilated?"

"Stop it now!"

Because of Marquis Ling Tian's decision, the Evil Lord now controlled the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse.

He kept pounding his own head, emitting thunderous explosions, as if trying to drive Marquis Ling Tian's soul out of the body, "You lunatic!"

"This Lord tells you, even if This Lord dies, This Lord will not let you succeed easily!"

"Stop it now!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull thudding sounds kept erupting, even causing slight cracks to appear on the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's head.

The Evil Lord, seeing that Marquis Ling Tian was about to succeed, suddenly gave up control of the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse, directly retreating into the body to contend with Marquis Ling Tian, "If you want to die, This Lord won't stop you, but it will be after This Lord devours you."

"Hmph!"

Suddenly, a strange arc appeared at the corner of the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's mouth, and then, under the Evil Lord's horrified gaze, it directly rushed to the side.

From its appearance, it seemed to be committing suicide!

"Marquis Ling Tian! You did this on purpose, didn't you!"

At this moment, the Evil Lord had already seen Marquis Ling Tian's purpose; this fellow was actually trying to destroy this Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse along with himself before dying, "This Lord will not allow you to do this!"

In the blink of an eye, the expression on the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's face changed abruptly, and an extremely painful sensation was transmitted.

"Ah ah ah... you truly deserve to die..."

The Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse grabbed its head forcefully, tearing at its hair, laughing maniacally one moment, sobbing in pain the next, gradually revealing a hint of unwillingness.

The Evil Lord, relying on his last control over the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse, had fire in his eyes, "Marquis Ling Tian, you..."

"Ah..."

Finally, the unwilling expression on the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's face slowly dissipated, eventually returning to calm along with the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse.

"Are they all dead?"

Xia Fan was surprised to see this scene; after all, this calm state lasted for a long time, yet the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse was not controlled by either the Evil Lord or Marquis Ling Tian.

This made him think that the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse was just an empty shell.

But just then, a voice rang out, "Junior tiger demon, thank you!"

Immediately, Xia Fan took a step back with a vigilant expression, holding the eastern emperor bell and Diamond Cutter, ready for a desperate fight, but the giant spoke gently, "Don't be nervous."

"Currently, I am just a remnant soul, and won't last much longer!"

"I never thought that after fighting him for so many years, only today would I muster the courage to fight him to the death!"

At this point, the giant paused for a moment, then smiled at Xia Fan, "Junior tiger demon, you are very good!"

"I also want to thank you for allowing me to see Master's true face again before I die!"

"Master, this disciple hasn't seen you for a long time; now, it can be considered that one of this disciple's wishes has been fulfilled."

"Junior tiger demon, as a token of gratitude, I will leave some of my legacy behind, hoping it can be of some help to you!"

Hearing this, Xia Fan understood that the soul that ultimately survived was Marquis Ling Tian's.

However, from his appearance, it seemed he wouldn't last much longer either.

At this moment, after his emotional outburst, his physical body also began to inexplicably dissipate, as if he was about to dissolve into this world.

Clearly, Marquis Ling Tian, at the moment of his passing, had also completely gained control of the physical body, and at the same time understood that everything just now was merely an illusion.

"I never thought that today's calamity would be resolved in this way!"

Seeing this, Xia Fan was filled with emotion; after all, if Marquis Ling Tian's soul hadn't counterattacked the Evil Lord this time, even if he had teamed up with Li Sisi, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the seventh-tier Evil Lord.

Suddenly, Xia Fan noticed that as the Hundred-Zhang Giant's body dissolved and disappeared, a silver light cluster appeared in mid-air, which immediately made him exclaim in surprise, "What is that?"

"Marquis Ling Tian's legacy left for me?"
