When the Seven Great Rotten Living Beings tore through the earth to emerge, simultaneously, the Life Essence hidden deep within the earth also shot skyward, transforming into a vast, radiant sun spanning ten zhang in area, illuminating the surroundings with boundless emerald divine radiance.
A mighty, surging aura of life bloomed forth, spreading throughout this Life Oasis.
Beyond the Life Oasis stood towering burial mounds of the Divine Demon Burial Grounds, the endless earth pitch-black and barren, without a single blade of grass.
But at this moment, under the illumination of the Life Essence, even on the endless earth stained by divine demon blood, countless tender sprouts suddenly burst forth, growing at an astonishingly rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, towering trees thousands of zhang high covered the boundless earth.
The primordial earth also saw the emergence of a vast oasis spanning hundreds of thousands of li, filled with lush forests brimming with verdant vitality.
The Life Oasis itself had originally formed because of the faint wisps of life aura that had seeped out from the Life Essence buried deep within the earth, nurturing it. That was why it possessed so many Heaven and Earth Treasures, Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasures, and even Medicine Spirits with tens of thousands of years of age. Now, they grew even faster. Many Heaven and Earth Treasures quickly matured into Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasures, and some Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasures even transformed into Medicine Spirits, their medicinal fragrance becoming rich and potent.
It was easy to imagine that merely under the illumination of the Life Essence, with vast amounts of life aura circulating out, astonishing changes occurred immediately.
Even the injuries on some of the powerhouses engaged in battle began to heal at a visible rate.
This scene was simply like a divine miracle!
However, the Life Essence could even heal the injuries of a Great Emperor's reincarnation, let alone the wounds on others.
Sizzle—
But whether it was the Seven Great Rotten Living Beings that erupted from the earth's depths or the mysterious being originally riding the rotten old horse, they all sprouted clusters of pitch-black flames on their bodies, resisting the illumination of the life light.
They guarded the Life Essence, yet were inherently repelled by it.
"Such a rich aura of life! It's the legendary Life Essence!"
On the Life Oasis, the powerhouses witnessing this scene were all shocked and pale-faced, even the Divine Kings were no exception, their hearts equally shaken.
The Life Essence was exceedingly rare in the world, requiring extremely strict conditions to be born.
However, the light of the Life Essence was too brilliant and dazzling, its life dao principles extremely potent. No one could see the existence of the Great Emperor's reincarnation within the Life Essence.
"The Life Essence, a treasure of life so rare in the world that even ancient Great Emperors might not necessarily find it, contains infinite wondrous uses."
"It is said that as long as a trace of breath remains, obtaining the Life Essence can still bring one back to life."
"If we could refine even a small portion of the Life Essence, it could extend our lifespans."
Numerous powerhouses exclaimed in awe, their gazes upon the Life Essence filled with boundless fervor.
Even the Divine Kings felt the same. Generally speaking, to extend one's lifespan, one must break through a major cultivation realm. However, achieving the Ancient Monarch realm was incredibly difficult.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for even a few Ancient Monarchs to appear in an era within a single Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe.
Yet the Life Essence possessed such divine efficacy, capable of drastically increasing one's lifespan.
On this side, the Tongtian Old Divine King and the Ye Family's Old Divine King were also present. Both were Old Divine Kings nearing their Great Limit, their cultivation profound and unfathomable, yet their lifespans were approaching their end. Thus, they too were filled with burning desire for this Life Essence.
Refining a portion would be enough to restore their youth and return them to their peak state.
Swish, swish, swish—
Countless fervent gazes fell upon the emerald-green Life Essence suspended in the air, resembling a sun of life.
Especially the Life Imperial Clan, and naturally the Dan Imperial Clan was also extremely eager. The Life Essence could rapidly nurture countless Medicine Treasures, its wonders beyond description.
No one was willing to give up the Life Essence.
"Take action! Seize the Life Essence!"
A Divine King, unable to wait any longer, made the first move, charging toward the Life Essence.
But the next moment, a streak of pitch-black dark light flashed. The void was torn apart as if fragile paper. That Imperial Clan Divine King reacted, retreating like lightning, but a bloody light surged to the heavens. His right thigh was severed, falling downward.
Moreover, as that thigh fell, pitch-black Curse flames burned over it, rapidly rotting it away. Even the sturdy divine bone lost its divine nature, becoming fragile, and finally turned into a pile of dust.
The Imperial Clan Divine King was also affected. The Curse flames quickly spread, difficult to block even with Divine King laws. They soon spread to his other thigh and lower abdomen.
In the end, the Imperial Clan Divine King had no choice but to ruthlessly use a palm blade to sever everything below his chest. The two parts of his body separated, and the portion burned by the Curse flames was quickly engulfed, turning into clusters of black fire before completely turning to ash.
However, because of this, the Imperial Clan Divine King suffered heavy injuries, his complexion pale.
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt their hearts tremble, a chill running down their spines.
Too terrifying! A Divine King hadn't even fully reacted before half his Divine King body was severed, forcing him to make a self-amputation to survive.
Looking again around the Life Essence, eight terrifying figures stood imposingly. All were beings of rotting flesh, exuding extremely dense death aura, yet they were also unbelievably powerful. At the very least, ordinary Divine Kings were far from being their match.
Originally, just one mysterious being riding a rotten old horse had kept numerous Imperial Clan and Immortal Clan Divine Kings locked in a prolonged struggle. Now, eight had appeared at once, making them simply unbeatable.
Boom, boom, boom—
Realizing that their current strength was insufficient to contend with these rotting flesh beings, the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and empires immediately sent messages to other Imperial Clan, Immortal Clan, and empire powerhouses.
Countless streams of light streaked across the sky from all directions, descending upon this Life Oasis one after another. They all saw the sun of life hanging in the sky, their gazes blazing with fervor.
This was a priceless treasure. Even if they failed to obtain the ancient Great Emperor's inheritance this time, such a supreme treasure was not much inferior, containing incomparably immense value.
At this moment, on the Life Oasis, at least over seventy Divine King-level figures had gathered, constituting the majority, forming an extremely fearsome Divine King lineup.
Even Divine King-level Imperial Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants had appeared, surrounded by immortal divine light and immortal radiance, possessing the bearing of emperors and immortals.
"Take action! Kill all these rotten beings! As for who the Life Essence falls to, that will depend on our own abilities!"
An Immortal Clan Divine King spoke up, his voice carrying weight and authority.
He was himself an extremely powerful Divine King, famous for many years, also an ancient Divine King-level figure. Now he spoke up and took the initiative to act.
His dao followed nature, his cultivation profound and unfathomable. With a raise of his hand, clouds rolled and rain poured, everything seemed to be overturned, as if all things were to be annihilated and cease to exist. He charged toward one of the rotten beings.
