"It's just a corpse! No need to be so afraid. While it hasn't woken up yet, let's all attack together to destroy the crystal coffin along with the corpse. Then we can search for anything left behind."
This time, a Perfected Demigod gritted his teeth and charged forward.
This was a Perfected Demigod from the Demon Capital.
Nine emerald-green longswords shot out from within the body of this demon race's Perfected Demigod. Each sword was carved with all sorts of mysterious runes representing the demon race's heritage and civilization, erupting with overwhelming demonic radiance.
The nine emerald swords soared into the sky and then struck towards the crystal coffin.
"That looks like the Nine-Li Demon Swords of the demon race! Reportedly one of the three most powerful treasures of the Demon Capital, forged by some incredibly powerful Demon Deity from ancient times and passed down through generations, always kept as a trump card. I never imagined the Demon Capital would deploy such a deep resource just to deal with this Deity corpse!" someone recognized the nine emerald swords at a glance and exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed, so what if he's a Deity? Our Demon Capital also birthed many illustrious Deities in ancient times. It's just a Deity corpse! How can our Demon Capital not have Deity-level heritage?" A Perfected Demigod from the Demon Capital took a step forward, and a purple pagoda of eighteen layers appeared before him, emanating rolling demonic energy.
This purple pagoda continuously enlarged, releasing terrifying devil energy as it suppressed towards that purple pagoda.
"Hahaha... Our Heavenly God Hall also has Deity-level heritage!" A Perfected Demigod from the Heavenly God Hall laughed wildly, then opened his mouth and spat out a divine pearl of dazzling brilliance. This radiant pearl then transformed into a Deity that reached the heavens and supported the earth.
"Impossible, that seems to be an energy body of a Deity!" The crowd, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Deity, couldn't help but gasp.
"I finally understand why these major forces dare to besiege a Deity corpse. They all brought Deity-level heritage!" Far away, some creatures who had not joined the siege but had come to watch the spectacle felt immensely shaken by this sight.
The commotion caused by the divine corpse along its journey had been too great, attracting countless beings. Besides those major forces seeking benefits from the divine corpse, many had come specifically to watch the spectacle.
"Our Great Netherworld also has Deity-level heritage!" At this moment, a Perfected Demigod from the Great Netherworld suddenly let out an eerie, cold laugh, then waved his hand. A black piece of cloth shot into the sky.
This black cloth continuously enlarged, large amounts of green, viscous corpse oil dripping down from it, emitting a pungent stench that was unbearable.
"That's probably the most common type of treasure in the Great Netherworld—a Shroud," someone said, covering their nose and frowning.
Boom!
Numerous green figures suddenly appeared on the black cloth; all of them were vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts with ferocious faces.
Millions of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts dragged the black cloth together, forming a vast ghost formation that charged towards the crystal coffin as one.
"This Shroud must be the most powerful Deity-level Shroud within the Great Netherworld!" Someone sensing the corpse energy emanating from the black cloth couldn't help but feel a secret shock.
Following this, experts from several other major forces took out Deity-level treasures or heritage pieces, continuously activating them to bombard the crystal coffin together.
"These truly live up to being major forces renowned throughout the Chaotic Void Sea. They all possess Deity-level energies!" Seeing one Deity-level artifact or heritage after another, someone couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Hahaha... Our Zhan Family also has Deity-level heritage!" At this moment, an Advanced Demigod from the Zhan Family, riding a massive white elephant, charged forward quickly.
The Zhan Family's Advanced Demigod took out an unnamed beast bone.
Boom!
That beast bone was suddenly activated, a terrifying energy like a mountain collapsing and sea raging sweeping out, shattering the surrounding space continuously.
"This should be a bone left behind by some divine beast from ancient times!" Looking at the beast bone held by the Zhan Family's Advanced Demigod, someone was startled.
Just a single bone possessed such might. One could imagine the owner of this bone must have been some overwhelmingly terrifying divine beast in ancient times.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Expert after expert from the major forces revealed their Deity-level methods. For a time, this part of the Chaotic Void was filled with numerous Deity-level energy auras. Boundless energy auras howled and roared, creating a scene even more frightening than before.
Not only the Heavenly Immortals, but even Demigod experts acted cautiously. Only those Demigods controlling Deity-level artifacts dared to charge at the front. The other Demigods all quietly retreated a great distance.
Facing those Deity-level artifacts, if they were even slightly caught in the backlash, these Demigods would be doomed to turn to ash.
"These major forces within the Chaotic Void Sea are indeed well-deserving of their reputation. Such a terrifying offensive—even Cui Hong would have a headache if he came! In the future, when encountering these major forces, we really can't fight them recklessly. Especially, we mustn't go to their headquarters, as these Deity-level heritages are usually kept within their headquarters." Watching this scene, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't necessarily think so. After all, Cui Hong is an energy body left behind by an ancient Deity. Moreover, the Fire Realm is his territory. Perhaps the Fire Realm also possesses Deity-level artifacts or other Deity-level heritages. An energy body of a Deity, controlling a Deity-level artifact—do you think the Demigods before us could be Cui Hong's match?" Hun Lao retorted.
"Hun Lao, I think you make sense. No matter what, Senior Cui Hong is a Deity. Even if only an energy body remains, he's not someone these Demigods before us can provoke," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Master, do you think the divine corpse can withstand such a terrifying siege?" Hu Miao had been curiously observing the divine corpse within the crystal coffin the whole time. It was a moderately tall, ordinary-looking middle-aged man lying motionless inside the coffin, eyes closed, hands placed flat on his chest as if asleep.
"It's hard for me to judge. Originally, I felt these Demigods shouldn't be a match for the divine corpse. But now these fellows have brought Deity-level heritages and can unleash Deity-level energy. Whether the divine corpse can handle it, I don't know either," Ye Yunfei shook his head in reply.
"Indeed. Now both sides have Deity-level heritages. It's difficult to say who will win. But I always feel that divine corpse isn't that simple. Let's wait and see. The answer will be revealed soon!" Hun Lao spoke.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, terrifying attacks landed on the crystal coffin one after another. Deity-level artifacts bloomed with blinding divine radiance. The energy they released caused the surrounding void to collapse on a massive scale.
As for those Corpse Soldiers and Generals guarding around the crystal coffin, they had all been blasted away, falling in distant space. Some were torn apart on the spot; some lost mobility; some crawled back up, but their movement speed noticeably slowed, and the energy they emitted became much weaker.
"Hahaha... These annoying dead things are finally cleaned up!" Seeing this, the members of the major forces at the rear all burst into laughter.
Boom!
The crystal coffin was struck, emitting continuous loud sounds.
"The divine corpse doesn't seem to have any reaction yet. Could it be we were all wrong, and he's not that strong?" Hu Miao said curiously.
"Be patient and wait. The corpse left behind by a Deity isn't that simple," Hun Lao said.
"Look, there seem to be some cracks appearing on that crystal coffin?" Just then, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed, cracks have started to appear on that crystal coffin." Ye Yunfei's perception was astounding. Although the crystal coffin was being assaulted by massive, terrifying Deity-level energies and emitting incredibly blinding light that blocked most creatures' perception, Ye Yunfei could still clearly perceive the cracks slowly appearing on the crystal coffin.
"No way? Could this Deity corpse really not be as strong as we imagined? Or perhaps it's already a divine corpse that has exhausted its energy?" Hu Miao felt somewhat disappointed.
"No. This divine corpse definitely hasn't exhausted its energy. On the contrary, it possesses quite terrifying energy. I can vaguely sense it." Hearing Hu Miao's words, Hun Lao immediately shook his head and answered.
Hun Lao's spatial perception ability was far stronger than Hu Miao's.
Just then—crack! crack!
The lid of the crystal coffin suddenly began to shift little by little, revealing some gaps.
Then, an extremely terrifying energy suddenly swept out from within the coffin, actually blocking all attacks in an instant.
"The divine corpse seems to be stirring!" At this moment, everyone stared with shocked eyes at the middle-aged man lying in the crystal coffin and the coffin lid shifting little by little.
"Don't stop, everyone, keep attacking! We shouldn't fear a mere corpse!" The Perfected Demigod from the Demon Capital controlling the eighteen-layer purple pagoda continued to bombard the crystal coffin without cease.
This eighteen-layer purple pagoda constantly spewed endless demonic light, with tall demon and fiendish phantom images manifesting. These phantoms unleashed various techniques of the Demon Capital's heritage, surrounding the crystal coffin and attacking desperately.
Seeing this, the experts from other major forces also launched their attacks one after another.
But all these attacks were blocked by the terrifying energy surging from within the crystal coffin.
The horrifying energy flowing out from the crystal coffin was like an invisible shield, firmly protecting the crystal coffin, all attacks blocked outside.
"See! Now that divine corpse is beginning to show its might!" Hun Lao said.
"Indeed, the divine corpse is definitely starting to stir!" Hu Miao felt very excited because she had been curiously watching the divine corpse the whole time, even somewhat anticipating this.
"I think we should move farther away. The divine corpse seems about to come out. This divine corpse has been disturbed from its slumber by these fellows, crawling out of the coffin now. It definitely won't let this go easily!" Hun Lao suddenly said in a grave tone.
"Makes sense!" Ye Yunfei immediately utilized his movement technique, retreating a good distance back, and held the spatial teleportation talisman in his palm, ready to activate it immediately if things went wrong.
At this moment, the crystal coffin's lid was slowly pushed aside until, with a bang, it fell into the space beside.
All eyes nervously focused on the divine corpse within the crystal coffin.
Then, a faint sigh issued from within the crystal coffin.
At first, the sigh was quite weak, but midway it began to grow louder and louder until, at the end, it transformed into terrifying sonic waves that swept and surged throughout this part of the Chaotic Void.
All creatures felt as though thousands of people were simultaneously shouting loudly in their ears, and their Soul Bodies swayed unsteadily.
Many beings even went weak in the legs on the spot, collapsing to the ground.
"Too terrifying!" A chill rose in everyone's hearts.
Just a sigh from this divine corpse brought such immense pressure.
Next, under the shocked gazes of everyone, the middle-aged man in the crystal coffin slowly rose upright and then stood in mid-air above the crystal coffin, eyes still closed.
This middle-aged man's body was very stiff, like a wooden stake, rising straight up from the coffin, appearing extremely strange.
"Those who disturb my slumber, die!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were closed, his body devoid of any vitality. Although just a corpse, the energy he released made everyone feel as if bearing immense pressure.
"Too terrifying. Deities are indeed well-deserving of their reputation. Even a mere corpse possesses such might! How terrifying would a living Deity be?" Many couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Just then, the divine corpse suddenly moved. In a blur, everyone's vision shifted, and the middle-aged man was already standing before the Demon Race's Perfected Demigod controlling the eighteen-layer purple pagoda.
Boom...
This Demon Race Perfected Demigod felt boundless terrifying energy pressing down on him, his body almost unable to stand straight.
With a roar, the eighteen-layer purple pagoda before him erupted with even more intense energy, blasting towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man did not dodge or evade, swinging his stiff arm and throwing a punch. Clang! The eighteen-layer purple pagoda was sent flying away by a single punch.
"How is this possible?" The Demon Race Perfected Demigod's face changed wildly. Before he could react, the middle-aged man's fist was heading for him.
The Demon Race Perfected Demigod was so frightened his face twitched uncontrollably. He actually dared not engage, turning to flee.
Although this was a corpse before him, it was a Deity's corpse!
