Ch. 1755 - The Sovereign’s Hidden Safeguard

He did not hold back at all.

The ancient blade aura of Shadow Tyrant erupted in full force.

Boom.

The blade light seemed capable of annihilating everything, destroying heaven and earth alike.

It plunged straight into the corpse mist.

The vast corpse mist was violently stirred, churning like a storm.

As the explosion rang out, the presence within the corpse mist let out a cold snort.

“Boy, do you know how long it’s been since anyone dared to strike at me?”

“So what?” Xu Zimo replied calmly. “Do you really think you’re that noble? If you truly anger me, killing you would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.”

“You’re quite arrogant,” laughter echoed from within the corpse mist.

Immediately afterward, a massive figure walked out from the surging corpse mist.

Corpse mist roared around its body, as if forming a raging tempest.

Then a fat man holding a gigantic hammer slowly emerged.

The fat man’s facial features were strange, twisted together unnaturally. The corpse mist surrounding him was terrifyingly strong.

“Upper Corpse, Devouring,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord narrowed his eyes and asked. “Where are the other two corpses?”

“They left long ago,” the fat man licked his lips.

“Grand Sun, the times have changed. You’re still clinging to that last bit of hope. But you two look quite tasty.”

The fat man stuck out his tongue. It stretched dozens of meters, whipping toward Xu Zimo.

The tongue was slick with saliva, nauseating to behold.

“Cut,” Xu Zimo shouted, sweeping his hand.

Terrifying power surged.

Boom, boom, boom.

Blade light streaked across ninety thousand miles, as if the entire Three Corpse Cave were about to collapse.

The tongue was tough, but it was still cut cleanly in half by Xu Zimo.

The fat man didn’t seem to mind at all.

His tongue appeared endless. No matter how many times it was cut, it kept extending again and again.

In just a short while, the entire small chamber was filled with tongues.

“Withdraw first,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord retreated toward the main hall.

“To kill him, there’s only one way. Otherwise, inside the Three Corpse Cave, he’s practically immortal.”

“That corpse?” Xu Zimo reacted instantly.

The Grand Sun Dao Lord nodded.

“That corpse is the origin of the Three Corpses. It’s enough to suppress them.”

“We haven’t found the corpse yet,” Xu Zimo said after a moment’s thought.

“It should be deep inside the small chamber. That fat man is guarding it. Do you have a way?”

“I can suppress him briefly by borrowing the Dominator’s power,” the Grand Sun Dao Lord said.

Xu Zimo nodded slightly.

The two of them exited the small chamber and entered the main hall.

Rows of stone seats filled the hall.

The fat man seemed wary of something. Only his tongue spread outward, while his true body stayed hidden.

That made Xu Zimo even more certain.

This creature was definitely guarding the corpse and didn’t dare leave its post.

Xu Zimo looked at the increasingly long tongue coiling above.

The fire rule surged in his hand.

Xu Zimo’s flames were extremely powerful. Nothing in heaven or earth could resist them.

He directly started roasting the tongue.

Corpse mist was a yin-based force, naturally afraid of true yang energy.

Now, with flames mixed with heavenly lightning, the tongue was constantly being destroyed.

Xu Zimo was buying time.

At this moment, the Grand Sun Dao Lord was already walking among the many stone chairs.

He sat down on one of them.

The instant he did, the stone chair seemed to activate. A beam of golden light shot straight into the sky.

At that moment, two edicts descended from above, fire and water, and fell upon the Grand Sun Dao Lord.

“Water-Fire Yin-Yang Transformation! Primordial Heaven-Sealing Art!”

The Grand Sun Dao Lord’s eyes burned with intensity.

The little power he had left seemed to be completely drained, all of it surging into the stone chair.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, all power roared and surged.

Where the water and fire forces flowed, time and space were completely frozen.

Xu Zimo could feel it clearly.

This wasn’t ordinary suppression. If it were, he could do it himself.

This was tracing the origin of corpse mist and sealing it at the source.

“Grand Sun, you old ghost who should already be dead. Do you really insist on opposing me?”

The fat man’s furious roar came from the small chamber.

He was clearly panicking, because he couldn’t avoid this sealing power.

“Upper Corpse, did you think the Dominator left no backup plan?”

The Grand Sun Dao Lord snorted coldly.

“Besides leaving the corpse to permanently suppress you, the Dominator also left this corpse-sealing method, just in case.”

“Grand Sun, you people are ruthless,” the fat man roared. “If you intended to target us like this, why leave us alive in the first place? Perhaps he simply couldn’t destroy us.”

The Grand Sun Dao Lord had no intention of debating that.

He turned to Xu Zimo and said, “Move quickly. I can’t hold on much longer.”

Xu Zimo nodded.

He rushed into the small chamber.

At this moment, the fat man was completely immobilized.

Xu Zimo kicked him straight into the pool, then charged deeper into the chamber.

Shadow Tyrant swept through, dispersing all the corpse mist.

The small chamber wasn’t very large. After entering, Xu Zimo found it completely empty.

“Good at hiding, aren’t you,” he snorted coldly.

The Dao of Corpse’s edicts surged around him as well. He merged himself with the surrounding space to search for the corpse.

Before long, Xu Zimo sensed something abnormal.

On the left side wall, the corpse mist was strongest.

It felt like the source of all corpse mist.

Every trace of corpse mist in this cave seemed to originate from that wall.

“Found it yet? I can’t hold on much longer!” the Grand Sun Dao Lord shouted from outside.

Thump, thump, thump.

Loud impacts rang out.

Within the suppressed void, the fat man’s body had begun to move again.

The sealing power was clearly reaching its limit.

Xu Zimo slashed the wall open with a single strike.

At last, he saw the corpse within.

A corpse that had endured countless years, yet remained pristine, without the slightest sign of decay.

The bones were pure gold.

The power flowing over them was extremely strange. Even Xu Zimo couldn’t identify it.

Yet there was still life essence lingering within the corpse, as if it were still alive.

Boom.

Just as Xu Zimo was about to approach the corpse, the fat man finally broke free from the suppression.

He swung his hammer down at Xu Zimo.

Boom, boom, boom.

The power of this blow was immense. The fat man was clearly enraged.

With a single strike, most of the cave beneath them shattered.

“Boy, you’re courting death. That thing isn’t something you’re qualified to touch!” the fat man roared.

“I must obtain it today. Whoever stands in my way will die,” Xu Zimo said coldly.

Holding Shadow Tyrant, he engaged the fat man in battle.

As for the Grand Sun Dao Lord, he had already reached his limit.

His figure began to fade bit by bit.

“Kid, it’s up to you now. If you can seal the Three Corpses, the Dominator will sense your merit.”

With those words, he completely dissipated.

Xu Zimo could no longer hear him.

He was fully focused on the battle before him.
