All the powerhouses were startled.
No one expected the Immortal Corpse to suddenly make a move, as if it possessed a spirit.
"It's fine. The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was a great enemy in his time. Even though the Immortal Corpse has perished and fallen, it was triggered by his aura and thus acted," said the Wushi Monarch. He then extended a golden great hand, his fingers and palm containing the majesty of the Emperor's Dao, colliding with it.
With a deafening boom, the Chaotic Territory trembled violently, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting.
Yet, the Immortal Corpse seemed unwilling to stop until it shattered the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's shell. Its palm descended once more, immortal might shaking the world, carrying strands of light like celestial beings descending from beyond the heavens, heavily striking over.
The boundless Chaotic Territory wildly boiled and surged, yet also rapidly dispersed. The rumbling sounds were incessant.
The Wushi Monarch continued to act, not wielding his spiked club, maintaining a measure of respect—respect for the Supreme Immortal who sealed the Chaotic Burial Ground. He went against the heavens, continuously clashing with it, exploding with terrifying beams of light capable of destroying worlds, shaking all directions, truly astonishing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
In a short time, the Wushi Monarch had clashed with the Supreme Immortal Corpse dozens, even hundreds of times. Each collision was so shocking, each enough to make even a peerless Sovereign cough blood and be sent flying.
Yet, the Wushi Monarch blocked them all, time and again, safe and sound, each instance showcasing his world-shaking, peerless cultivation, leaving people in awe.
Boom!—
Another collision.
Chaos surged!
By this time, the Wushi Monarch had also led all the powerhouses far enough away. The Immortal Corpse no longer attacked; its slender hand returned to its original position. Yet, it seemed faintly oriented towards the direction where the powerhouses were, as if still triggered by the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's aura, wanting to act. This made the powerhouses of the All Heavens tense again, though they also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if the Immortal Corpse truly pursued them, it would be a huge trouble.
Not long after, the Wushi Monarch, riding the Heavenly Beast, dragging the Emperor's body of the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor, led everyone into this boundless Chaotic Territory, returning to the dim starry region. Their speed was even faster than when they came, all because the Wushi Monarch had made a breakthrough.
...
At the Ninth Immortal Pass, on the majestic, immortal Heavenly Pass, the powerhouses of the Imperial Clan Qin Family were stationed here. Numerous great powers were present, among them even several Divine Kings.
Clearly, this was the powerful foundation of the Imperial Clan Qin Family; the twenty-four Divine Kings who followed into battle were not all their Divine King strength.
The many powerhouses of the Imperial Clan Qin Family, as well as the young prodigies from the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains of the All Heavens, all appeared on the Ninth Immortal Pass. The Heavenly Pass was so high it could directly look levelly at the endless Starry Land.
Their appearance was also to await the triumphant return of the Wushi Monarch and the other powerhouses of the All Heavens.
Especially the sudden eruption of Supreme Emperor's might, and the subsequent appearances of the successive visions of Emperor's fall, had shaken the entire Origin Ancient Path, reaching far and wide. No one could truly ignore it; all were on high alert.
Even after a full day and night had passed, the fluctuations dissipated and silence returned, still no one let down their guard or grew careless.
During this wait, the young prodigies from the various Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains of the All Heavens would, intentionally or not, let their gazes drift, occasionally landing on that outstanding golden figure.
The woman, peerless in grace and beauty, stood gracefully. Her brilliant golden hair cascaded down. A white gown draped her, her graceful figure faintly visible. Her stunningly beautiful face was so captivating, with long, upturned eyelashes and alluring red lips—every feature was breathtaking.
The woman was already peerlessly beautiful, but especially under the setting sun, bathed in the twilight glow and coated with a layer of golden radiance, she unconsciously made many Heaven's Pride prodigies' hearts suddenly race.
This feeling had rarely appeared since they began cultivating the Dao.
Only in their youth, facing a beloved sweetheart, had they felt such a pounding heart.
However, what made them despondent was that the peerlessly beautiful woman had never looked at them, not even a single glance. Her gaze remained fixed on that distant place at the edge of the sky, making countless men feel downcast. For they all clearly understood who the woman was waiting for.
It was that Battle Saint King who defeated the number one of the Qin Family's younger generation, the peerless Heaven's Pride praised by the Wushi Monarch, who followed the Wushi Monarch into battle. He was a peerless figure whom everyone below the Divine King level in the Imperial Clan Qin Family had to look up to.
If it were an ordinary person, they might still feel jealousy. But when the gap between them reached such an astonishing degree, such jealousy could no longer arise. What replaced it was only admiration.
Perhaps only such a world-shaking figure was worthy of such a peerlessly beautiful woman.
As for the sentiments of these countless Heaven's Pride prodigies, A Beinu was unaware and had no need to be aware, for she only cared about that other half who was fighting in the distance.
This wait lasted three days and three nights.
She never left even half a step, her gaze never shifted even half an inch. That delicate figure was heartbreaking to behold.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, as the sun set, the peerlessly beautiful woman, who had remained motionless all along, now had a stunningly beautiful smile slowly spread across her face. In that instant, it made heaven and earth lose their color, and everyone was mesmerized.
"He's back!"
One sentence also broke everyone's hearts.
Boom!—
At this moment, the previously calm horizon appeared with a dazzling golden light that pierced through the infinite Starry Land, extending over and landing before the Heavenly Gate of the Ninth Immortal Pass.
The powerhouses guarding the Heavenly Pass, forgetting their heartache, were all overjoyed. For that was the Wushi Monarch's Golden Light Great Path, now extending back. Without a doubt, it represented a triumphant return.
"Quickly open the Heavenly Pass Gate to welcome their triumphant return!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The tall Heavenly Pass Gate slowly opened, leading to the outside world. Naturally, it also alerted everyone in the metropolis. One by one, they looked outside through the opened Heavenly Pass Gate and saw that golden great path spanning the All Heavens. They even saw the powerhouses of the All Heavens led by the Wushi Monarch.
Most shocking of all, they saw the Wushi Monarch riding a ferocious, enormous Heavenly Beast. In his hand was a thick chain, as thick as an arm where he grasped it, gradually enlarging until, in the end, it was thicker than a mountain range, entwined and dragging an incomparably huge corpse, unimaginably massive.
As it was dragged, the entire world trembled along with it. The vast, boundless Origin Ancient Path quivered. The corpse emanated a peerless, ferocious might, as if heaven and earth could not bear it, crumbling inch by inch.
"What is that?"
"Such a huge body!"
"It must be the great terror that escaped from the Chaotic Burial Ground! The Monarch Ancient Ancestor has returned triumphantly, achieving a great victory!"
In the metropolis, countless people exclaimed in shock, each looking with fervent admiration at the Wushi Monarch dragging the million-mile-long enormous corpse, step by step, entering the world.
