768: Chapter 768: Corpse of the Immortal King

"Dig out this palace and see if there is anything we need inside."

Immediately after, a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse from the Heavenly Court instructed the group around him.

He did not intend to send anyone into the cave to explore; instead, he planned to dig out this extremely massive and luxurious palace, as that would be safer.

As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals took action, using various methods to move the soil burying the palace to other places.

Revealing the originally rust-covered palace, this structure was incomparably tall and magnificent. Standing before it, people felt as insignificant as ants. The palace gates were tightly shut and covered in dust.

After the palace was dug out, the various Dominators of the Six Great Powers all gathered in this area and stared at the palace before them.

"It should be here. If I haven't guessed wrong, that Transcendence Object should be inside this palace."

Emperor Lord's voice slowly resonated in the ears of everyone around.

"There is a terrifying aura inside. It is extremely dangerous, making me feel a crisis of death. There must be something greatly terrifying inside!"

A smaller coffin flew out from the Underworld's Nine-Nether Dragon Coffin. It floated in the air, and an icy voice came from within.

Lying in this coffin was the current Master of the Underworld, an existence of the same Rank as the Heavenly Court's Emperor Lord.

"No matter how dangerous it is inside, we have no way back. Regardless of everything, we must retrieve that Transcendence Object. We do not have much time left."

A man resembling a deity rushed out from the Divine City. Behind him was a golden halo, and he looked as majestic as a god.

"Let's act. Open the gates and take out that Transcendence Object!"

An aged voice also came from the Primordial God Mountain, and the Dao Lord of the Extreme Dao Emperor Sect also spoke up.

Boom!

After speaking, a golden light shot directly from the Primordial God Mountain and slammed into the palace gates.

The others also took action one after another, shooting beams of light that struck the gates.

Soon, the massive gates were pushed open by the crowd, revealing a crack that showed the appearance of the main hall inside.

The main hall was covered in dust and filled with a sense of majesty.

The hall was very spacious. In the center of the hall stood an offering table, upon which a stone box appeared in everyone's sight.

The stone box looked quite ordinary, but their Divine Sense could not capture it, as if it did not exist.

"The stone box! We found it. That Transcendence Object must be inside."

Seeing the stone box, everyone became excited, their expressions fervent as they stared at it.

However, they did not act rashly because, in their perception, there was a terrifying existence inside, but they did not know where exactly that existence was.

Perhaps that terrifying existence was watching them; if they made any strange moves, they might face a terrifying attack.

"Let me try to see if there is any danger inside."

Emperor Lord's voice rang out in the scene. Then, a golden divine chain appeared from his body, and like a swimming Dragon, it snaked through the crack and entered the hall.

Immediately after, the divine chain wrapped around the stone box. With a forceful pull, he dragged the stone box out, and it landed in his hands.

"It was taken out so easily?"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They had thought that they would need to go through a great battle and pay a price before they could retrieve this stone box!

They hadn't expected the process to be so easy; the existence inside had not stopped them. Was it still in a deep slumber?

"Roar!"

However, they didn't have long to be happy before a massive roar emanated from the hall.

This roar was terrifying, capable of striking directly at one's Soul, causing everyone to tremble in fear. A chill rose from the soles of their feet, and their hearts grew cold.

A hand that blotted out the sky stretched out from within the hall, shattering the roof, and slapped towards Emperor Lord. The hand was pitch-black like ink, exuding a chilling corpse Qi. Its speed was astonishing, and its power was terrifying.

Seeing this, Emperor Lord shouted, "Not good, the existence inside has been awakened. Run!"

After speaking, a pagoda appeared around Emperor Lord. This pagoda had thirty-three layers and was the Extremity Emperor Weapon, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven Pagoda, refined by the Heavenly Emperor back then.

This Extremity Emperor Weapon was extremely powerful. Whether in attack or defense, it was a terrifying divine weapon capable of ranking in the top three of all Extremity Emperor Weapons in these heavens.

The moment the pagoda appeared, it protected Emperor Lord within for defense.

However, the giant hand merely gave a light wave, directly slapping the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven Pagoda and Emperor Lord flying.

Then, a figure rushed out, its entire body emitting solidified corpse Qi. It had a burly frame, was terrifyingly fierce, and its eyes burned with a bloodthirsty and violent light.

The corpse was dressed in an extremely magnificent golden silk garment that had not decayed even after hundreds of millions of years, still worn on that figure.

"Not good, that terrifying existence has rushed out. How powerful!"

"This is an Immortal King Corpse, an Evil Corpse transformed after an Immortal King died. It has long since lost its sanity. Run!"

Seeing the Immortal King Corpse rush out, the powerhouses from the other factions immediately felt their scalps tingle and shouted to everyone around.

The stone box was already in hand, so they naturally did not want to stay and fight to the death with such a terrifying evil.

On the other side, after being slapped away, Emperor Lord immediately flew towards the Heavenly Emperor Warship. Relying on the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven Pagoda, he withstood the Immortal King Corpse's strike. Although his blood and Qi surged, he did not suffer much damage.

However, through that casual strike from the Immortal King Corpse just now, he witnessed the opponent's terrifying nature.

This Immortal King Corpse definitely possessed combat power at the Great Emperor Realm and was terrifyingly powerful—likely even stronger than an average Great Emperor. It was simply not something they could handle.

If not for this Thirty-Three Layered Heaven Pagoda being here, that strike might have slapped him into meat paste.

"Roar!"

After the Immortal King Corpse came out, it immediately let out a roar to the sky, and monstrous corpse Qi radiated from its body.

Any Saint Realm soldier touched by the corpse Qi turned into an Evil Corpse in an instant. Even Great Saint Realm powerhouses only lasted a moment before also turning into Evil Corpses.

Although Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses could successfully purge the corpse Qi, it still required significant effort.

In just an instant, the legions of the Six Great Powers within a hundred thousand miles suffered heavy losses.
