The fact that the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse actually cared about the Chaos Heavenly Seal surprised all the powerhouses present.
However, there was naturally no question of handing over the Chaos Heavenly Seal.
Hun Wuji said, "Return my father's body, or don't blame me for summoning my master. He is the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, the King of Heavenly Venerables!"
At this point, he did not hesitate to reveal his identity as the direct disciple of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, hoping to use this to intimidate the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse.
He believed the other party would be very wary. From its earlier reaction, it was clear it knew of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate and understood just how powerful he was.
"What of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate? Even if he came in person, this Heavenly Venerate would not fear him!" The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse said coldly. "Since you are unwilling to hand it over yourself, then this Heavenly Venerate will take it personally!"
Boom—
Heaven shook and earth quaked as boundless heavenly might rippled out. The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse charged at Hun Wuji.
Hun Wuji simply couldn't dodge in time. Even though he was a Taishang Supreme and possessed the world's ultimate speed, he was no match for a Heavenly Venerate's body. But his reaction was swift. He immediately resonated with the Chaos Heavenly Seal. Billions of strands of chaotic light descended, transforming into a radiant curtain that protected him.
Meanwhile, he poured a vast sea of Chaos Divine Power into the Chaos Heavenly Seal to meet the palm strike of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse.
In an instant, a small half of the Endless Forbidden Zone collapsed. The already half-collapsed Heavenly Venerate Mountain trembled precariously, riddled with huge cracks as if the remainder might explode at any moment.
In the end, Hun Wuji managed to block the attack of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse with the help of the Chaos Heavenly Seal.
Moreover, even the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Domain was blocked, unable to effectively invade Hun Wuji and reverse time to sever him.
This astonished the powerhouses. Truly worthy of being the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerate, the King of Heavenly Venerables. Even the Heavenly Seal he left behind possessed such might, actually blocking the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse that had nearly caused three Ancient Great Venerables to perish.
Naturally, many supreme experts coveted the Chaos Heavenly Seal, but none dared make a move. After all, it was the Heavenly Seal of a King of Heavenly Venerables. Who would dare act recklessly?
At this moment, Hun Wuji slashed his wrist, sprinkling a string of blood that fell upon the three distant Heavenly Venerate remnant formations.
Without a doubt, he intended to communicate with the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations to use them against the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse.
As the string of blood landed on the remnant formations, the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations erupted with dazzling radiance at this moment. He had actually succeeded in communicating with them.
The three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations originally arranged here were each Heavenly Venerate-level grand formations. Though incomplete, they were inscribed and imprinted with many of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's secret patterns.
Hun Wuji, utilizing his own bloodline identical to the Endless Heavenly Venerate's, successfully communicated. At this moment, the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations manifested and came under his control.
The three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations rose up, controlled by Hun Wuji, and blasted toward the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse changed expression, its figure rapidly retreating, actually not daring to clash head-on.
This scene left many supreme experts bewildered. Why was this?
One must know, these were laid down by the Endless Heavenly Venerate. The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse should also be able to control them. Why was it so wary as to avoid them?
Hengming Great Venerable said, "Back then, the Endless Heavenly Venerate left three Heavenly Venerate grand formations here. Although they were damaged in the battle of that era, throughout the endless ages, even after the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse gained sentience, it never set foot here, blocked by them. This shows that the sentient corpse of the Endless Heavenly Venerate simply cannot control the three Heavenly Venerate grand formations."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is likely a contingency left by the Endless Heavenly Venerate. He was known as one who traversed past and present, omnipotent. He probably foresaw this day and thus left behind this contingency."
Hun Wuji controlled the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations, madly pursuing the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse. The latter could only retreat, not daring to clash head-on, because it knew the terror of these three remnant formations. They were not primarily aimed at the Heavenly Venerate's body, but more so at the divine soul. Once, it mistakenly stepped into them and nearly had its divine soul ground to dust, suffering a terrifying, severe wound it could not forget to this day.
"Although we killed the Endless Heavenly Venerate, he left behind some contingencies. Damn it!"
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse wore a gloomy expression. Seeing the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations continuously closing in, about to force it out of the forbidden zone, it felt deep apprehension.
Because once it stepped outside the forbidden zone, it would be sensed by the other supreme Heavenly Venerates of the Origin Land. Its chances of survival would be slim.
"Hmph!"
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse snorted coldly and immediately expanded its Space-Time Heavenly Dao Domain, crashing directly forward.
Amidst the rumbling, terrifying roar, the three Heavenly Venerate remnant formations suffered a terrible impact. Countless formation patterns were forcibly shattered and destroyed, leaving a massive gaping hole.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was also severely wounded. Clearly visible, its soul power fluctuations were immense, obviously suffering significant damage. But it had broken through the Heavenly Venerate remnant formations and arrived before Hun Wuji in an instant, roaring, "A mere ant dares to wound this Heavenly Venerate? Today, this Heavenly Venerate will make you understand that even possessing the Primordial Beginning's Heavenly Seal, you are but an ant this Heavenly Venerate can crush with a raised hand!"
Boom—
Terrifying power pressed down. The entire Endless Forbidden Zone shook violently as if about to explode, making it hard to believe what was happening before their eyes.
During this, after the Chaos Heavenly Seal withstood the attack of the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse, its chaotic light dimmed considerably as it was sent flying away.
Hun Wuji was as if struck by lightning, vomiting great mouthfuls of blood, his entire body covered in blood, a miserable sight.
The Endless Heavenly Venerate closed in, immediately about to press its advantage and kill Hun Wuji.
Boom—
Ye Chen finally made his move. He instantly appeared before the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse, raising his hand to clash head-on with it.
Light radiated for billions of zhang. Heavenly Dao rules were infinite, annihilating space-time, unimaginable.
He had blocked it.
Hun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bowed to Ye Chen in thanks, and rapidly retreated to the rear.
"Who are you?"
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse stared deeply at the Ye Chen before it. To be able to block its attack was no simple feat. His strength was considerably greater than that of the three Ancient Great Venerables from earlier, revealing a trace of gravity in its expression.
Moreover, it actually had a peculiar feeling, as if it had known the other party before.
But it did not recall knowing such a supreme Heavenly Venerate.
The key was that this Heavenly Venerate before it had not revealed any related Heavenly Venerate laws, leaving the Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse deeply puzzled.
"You don't know me, but I know you."
Ye Chen spoke, and at the same time threw a punch that traversed the Space-Time Heavenly Dao Domain formed by layers of time fragments, landing squarely on its chest.
Boom—
The Endless Heavenly Venerate's corpse was sent flying horizontally, directly out to the edge of the Endless Forbidden Zone, nearly falling out, having crashed through who knew how many crimson mountains.
A clearly visible dent appeared on its chest, from which blood spurted.
