Chapter 496: Chapter 447: King’s Corpse

Aoao—

Blood Shadow roared, and vaguely, two blood-red eyes shot up into the sky, encircled by the terrifying power of the Alien Race Law. A massive blood-colored palm burst forth from the rolling Blood Mist, wrapped in thick blood-colored shackles, and struck heavenward against the giant sword.

Boom—

The entire world within the sword seemed to shake, the earth cracked, and one Divine Sword after another shattered into iron powder.

"Hmph!"

Ye Gucheng, with a cold expression, rose from the Sword Dao throne, his black hair fluttering, silver-white Divine Radiance swirling around his body, and his Sword Qi piercing the sky. Suddenly, a War Sword appeared in his hand, different from the one used against Ye Chen, its hilt carved with a Green Lotus, and the bright blade was even branded with a beautifully exquisite Green Lotus, shimmering with flowing green light, looking enchanting and eye-catching.

"A sword’s light coldly stirs the nine heavens!"

The Green Lotus Divine Sword was drawn, an unparalleled sword technique was implemented, and this whole realm was filled with a brilliance that reached the ultimate splendor, shining billions of times brighter than the sun in the sky, as if it had seized all the light in the world, becoming the only one.

"That is..."

The Red Monster roared, feeling a terrible sense of threat. Its blood-colored figure surged in size. It roared again, vaguely displaying behind it a pair of enormous Cloud Wings, with piercing blood-red lightning crisscrossing, and terrifying blood light boiling and displaying.

In a trance, the Cangyu violently trembled, and the stars in the sky shattered.

"Blood Light Shatters Star Domain!"

That was one of the Supreme Divine Powers of the Red Monster Royal Clan, an Invincible Ancestor Skill, generally used only when faced with a threat to life. Now, feeling the danger to its life, it doubted it could survive this sword without using it.

Boom—

The whole world within the sword exploded.

Endless Divine Radiance burst forth, heaven and earth shook, and if it weren’t mostly flat land here, had it been in the mountains and forests, it would have absolutely razed tens of miles of vast woodland to the ground.

All the kings had to retreat, daring not to come closer, otherwise even as powerful as they were, they would be struck by calamity.

Aoao—

A painful scream, the massive blood-colored shadow behind the Red Monster parted into two with a "plop" and disintegrated.

The Red Monster’s left arm along with its entire left shoulder was sliced off, vivid blood splattering, each drop bright red, distinctly different from the blood of Alien Demons.

And Ye Gucheng suffered too, his complexion pale, completely bloodless, almost spitting out blood, his Divine Armor in front torn, revealing five deep, bone-exposing wounds, with black blood flowing, clearly poisoned.

If not for the protection of this Divine Armor, his chest might have been directly gouged out.

Overall, however, Ye Gucheng still had the upper hand, for the Red Monster’s shoulder and arm were cut off, bearing terrible injuries, and further encircled by horrific Sword Qi that continually destroyed its regenerative capabilities, making it impossible to heal.

Ye Gucheng’s chest wound emitted light, all the black blood expelled, and flesh blooming with splendor, a strong Daoist Rule acting, and the wounded flesh visibly healing at a rapid rate.

Born of the Supreme Emperor Clan, and the True King’s Favored of this generation, Ye Gucheng’s status was extraordinary, almost equal to the next leader of the Ye Family, and a promising figure on the path to Human Emperor Sovereign, receiving great attention. How could he lack extraordinary Healing Divine Abilities?

Each Emperor and Sovereign is a marvel across ages and invincible through the Eternal Times, obviously having developed powerful Healing Divine Skills, capable of rapidly repairing their bodies, and Ye Gucheng naturally possessed such a strong Healing Divine Ability too, even the poison of Alien Demons could not affect it, being completely eliminated.

The Red Monster was shocked, but its wounds were hard to heal, Sword Qi rampaged, madly destroying its physical vitality.

If not for its immense strength, if anyone else of the same realm faced this, they would have been instantly killed by the Sword Qi into powder.

Yet at this moment, Ye Gucheng struck once again, fresh bright blood beads flowing on the Green Lotus Divine Sword, like slices of a blood-colored world, Bloodshed Futu, Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, truly astonishing—

The Dangyu Sword Technique’s Blood Dripping Style!

Clearly, it was the unbeatable move created by the Ancient Sword Venerable during the previous battle with Ye Chen, now holding an absolute advantage over the severely wounded Red Monster.

What a terrifying move, the Red Monster felt a threat like that of death, not daring to be careless or, rather, could not even muster a bit of will to fight, and with a "whoosh" it rushed skyward.

"Can you escape?"

Ye Gucheng, holding the Green Lotus Divine Sword across the sky, thrust with the Blood Dripping Style, shocking the heavens and the earth, with blood light surging and engulfing the past.

The Red Monster roared, shattering the heavens and tearing apart the sky, its overwhelming blood light soaring upward in resistance.

However, its entire body of red fur was being annihilated, and blood was splattering everywhere.

In the end, everything completely dissipated into nothingness. The Red Monster, despite its strength, met the same fate as Zagoro; both were slain by Ye Gucheng. The twenty-foot giant body was split in two by the sword radiance, and even its Primordial Spirit suffered the same fate.

Dead!

Another member of a Royal Clan was killed, causing all the kings to inwardly sigh. The Immortal True King was indeed terrifyingly powerful, able to slay terrifying members of the Alien Race even with a difference of a great realm, leaving them all trailing in his wake.

With the death of two major Royal Clan members, the remaining Alien Demons lost their pillar of support and fled in all directions.

The powers knew well the threat of these Alien Demons and took action, sweeping across and eradicating all, including the newly born demons in the Demon Mountain Nest, their dark blood staining the entire earth black.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly stepped forward, crossing the sky to join Ye Gucheng, the two Immortal True Kings standing close together.

Ye Chen’s black hair was draped over his shoulders, exuding a divine charm and heroic spirit. He clasped his fists and smiled at Ye Gucheng, "Brother Gucheng, I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if I could take the corpse of this Royal Clan member. I am willing to pay a million catties of Spirit Stone or an equivalent value of Divine Spiritual Origin in exchange."

Ye Gucheng looked at Ye Chen in mild surprise, not understanding why Ye Chen made such a request, willing to exchange Divine Spiritual Origin.

Yet, Ye Gucheng refused, although the Divine Spiritual Origin was tempting, the Supreme Clan never lacked it, despite it not being as abundant as ordinary people might crave, he said, "Brother Yue, I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but as this belongs to a member of an Alien Race, it is very important for the Ye Family for research, so I must apologize."

During the last Mythical Era, the Ye Family had participated in a war and knew well the terror of the Alien Races, especially the Royal Clan members who held much more information than ordinary members.

Although the Alien Race had retreated at the end of the last Epoch, it was inevitable that they might return. The Ye Family needed to study the Alien Royal Clan to find their weaknesses to be prepared in case of future encounters.

Ye Gucheng’s refusal was within Ye Chen’s expectations, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked up and met his gaze, saying, "Brother Gucheng, since that’s the case, how about we make a deal? I can exchange half of the Royal Clan corpse I have slain with you for half of this one?"

"Okay!" Ye Gucheng was initially taken aback but then gladly agreed, as for him, this outcome was even better than having just one Royal Clan corpse, allowing him to study the secrets of two major Royal Clans.

At that moment, the two Immortal True Kings exchanged half of the Royal Clan corpses, both satisfied.

Especially Ye Chen, who had acquired half of two different Alien Royal Clan corpses, which was enough to refine sufficient Alien Blood. Ten bundles of King Blood had already been collected, ready to revive the Holy Body at any time.

However, he temporarily set aside that plan, knowing that once he began reviving the Holy Body, it would likely require a considerable amount of time, certainly not achievable within a few months, and he was also very curious about the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.

And deep down, he felt that deep within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, he might encounter a tremendous opportunity.

After the battle, and with most of the Alien Demons dealt with, only the three-zhang ancient coffin on the Pyramid Altar continued to exude a surging gravity, causing curiosity.

This mysterious ancient coffin had already revealed two terrifying Alien Royal Clan members, making people wary of what else might be contained inside.

If a few more terrifying Alien Royal Clan members appeared, it would be problematic; even the powerful Immortal True Kings had spent quite some effort just to barely slay them.

But the three-zhang ancient coffin was strange, merely exuding Divine Power, and after a long time, no other Alien Royal Clan members appeared.

"Brother Gucheng, what do you think about exploring the ancient coffin together?" Ye Chen suddenly spoke up.

Ye Gucheng did not hesitate and agreed directly, equally curious about the three-zhang ancient coffin, and in this place, only Ye Chen could keep pace with him, other kings, even those who had undergone Mortal God Transformation, were inadequate.

Although other kings were also curious, they did not act rashly, understanding the situation; stepping up would only add trouble.

"Let’s go!"

With a whoosh sound, the two young True Kings stepped out, their feet treading on the void as they charged toward the Pyramid Altar, their bodies radiating light, repelling the heavy pressure altogether.

Even the gravity of the stone coffin was not enough; they were too powerful, still capable of flight close to the front.

Both were daring and skilled, directly approaching the three-zhang ancient coffin, their Divine Radiance overflowing, the Supreme Power within them roaring back to life, resisting the gravity and being on guard for any terrifying creatures that might suddenly emerge from the coffin, like the two Royal Clan members, although the possibility was not high.

They both peeked inside, staring for a moment before involuntarily widening their eyes, their expressions slightly changing: "Is that—"
