Chapter 847: Chapter 845: Human Face with an Insect Body! Martial Soul Heavenly Centipede!

As Lin Bai and Saint Miao Shang’s attacks collided, a terrifying force swept through the entire Underground Palace like a fierce flood beast.

This Zhuo Steel Rock, which was said to be unbreakable by even those in the Earth Elixir Realm, shattered like paper under the clash between Lin Bai and Saint Miao Shang.

The massive Underground Palace of the He Family collapsed directly downward.

Inside the Underground Palace, there was complete chaos.

"Not good! The Underground Palace is collapsing!"

"All brothers, quick, retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Disciples of the Five Poison Sect, seeing the collapse of the Underground Palace, knew that if they did not retreat, they might be buried within it.

Without a second thought, all the disciples of the Five Poison Sect who had rushed into the Underground Palace immediately withdrew.

"Father!" He Yunfei, seeing the disciples of the Five Poison Sect who surrounded the He Family fleeing for their lives, was overjoyed. Without their encirclement, the He Family might actually have a glimmer of hope.

Grandpa He bellowed, "Yunfei, order all He Family Warriors to charge out for me!"

"Yes!"

"Charge!"

He Yunfei took the lead, raising his war sword high, and charged out of the Underground Palace.

While the disciples of the Five Poison Sect were busy escaping, the warriors of the He Family pursued them like a breaking bamboo, and in an instant, both the disciples of the Five Poison Sect and the He Family warriors had fled the Underground Palace.

"Hahaha, Lin Bai, it seems that today this place will be your burial ground!"

Saint Miao Shang, within the Underground Palace, looked at Lin Bai with a cold sneer.

The power of the Five Poisons Immortal Palm and the Wind and Snow clashed continuously.

"Who will live and who will die is still unknown!"

"Shatter for me!"

Lin Bai’s figure moved, and his strength increased once again.

The Wind and Snow sword pierced through the air, breaking through and shattering the power of the Five Poisons Immortal Palm.

One sword’s chill reaches across nineteen states!

After breaking through the power of the Five Poisons Immortal Palm, this sword carried a chill that could freeze heaven and earth, heading straight for the throat of Saint Miao Shang.

At that moment, Saint Miao Shang’s face still bore an expression of wild and smug laughter. In an instant, he sensed a shadow of death looming over him and came back to his senses, only to see Lin Bai’s sword already at his throat!

"Not good!"

"How could you possibly defeat my Five Poisons Immortal Palm!"

Saint Miao Shang said, unable to believe it.

The Five Poisons Immortal Palm was not merely an Earth-level Martial Arts Skill as Zhao Rong had previously stated.

On the contrary, the Five Poisons Immortal Palm was a sacred text passed down within the Five Poison Sect, a formidable set of martial skills and Divine Power from the "Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture"!

The Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture, a sacred text within the Five Poison Sect, had been handed down through generations, and only the Five Poisons Sect Leader and the current Saint were qualified to comprehend the deep and unfathomable martial skills and Divine Power within it.

It was rumored that most of the Martial Skills and Divine Powers in the Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture exceeded the Heaven Level Ninth Grade!

And the Five Poisons Immortal Palm was the simplest, easiest, and most Earth-grade among these martial skills!

Even though the Five Poisons Immortal Palm was a low-level palm technique from the Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture, its current deployment could unleash such a devastatingly powerful force; what about the other martial skills and Divine Powers within the scripture? If mastered, wouldn’t they have the power to slay gods?

"This is impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

Saint Miao Shang kept exclaiming in shock.

Lin Bai’s sword thrust forward, its icy aura piercing directly towards Miao Shang’s throat.

"Go ask Yama in Hell."

"Die for me!"

As Lin Bai’s sword descended, a horrifying power was about to pierce through Miao Shang’s throat.

"No!"

"Martial Soul!"

Miao Shang was terrified by the bone-chilling power on Lin Bai’s sword blade and immediately activated his Martial Soul!

Above Miao Shang’s head, a surge of black mist churned, containing within it a long monster.

Hiss——

Suddenly, a hissing roar transmitted through the air as the black mist was torn apart by a terrifying force.

It was then that Lin Bai could clearly see the appearance of this Martial Soul.

It was a centipede with a thousand legs.

However, this centipede was golden yellow all over, and the sharp legs on both sides of its belly all exuded a terrifying aura of power!

Worth mentioning was that the head of this centipede was not that of an ordinary centipede, but rather that of a human face.

This human face, with eyes slightly closed, bore a cold complexion, giving off an indescribable feeling of supremacy over all lives, a disdain for all creation!

"A human face with the body of an insect! It’s... the Heavenly Centipede!"

Upon seeing this centipede, Lin Bai immediately recalled an ancient divine beast he had read about in an old book!

According to legend, this divine beast, known as the Heavenly Centipede, was golden yellow with golden patterns on its back, a thousand zhang long, and had a human face.

The eyes of the Heavenly Centipede were normally closed. Legend had it that once the Heavenly Centipede opened its eyes, even Divine Dragons and Phoenixes would fall, as if the creature’s eyes contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!

"This!"

Lin Bai’s face paled slightly upon seeing Miao Shang’s Martial Soul.

"Ahhh!"

Saint Miao Shang, displaying his Martial Soul, radiated golden light all over his body. The Martial Soul above his head moved, and a horrifying force exploded out from within him.

He threw a fierce punch!

As the punch was unleashed, a burst of golden glow exploded violently, like indestructible arrows, and with one punch, the Underground Palace was directly shattered!

In an instant, a power terrifying enough to chill Lin Bai to the core enveloped him!

With a cold expression, Lin Bai said nothing and directly executed his Sword Skill!

"Divine Sword Thunder Control Skill!"

Endless thunder gathered upon Lin Bai’s sword blade.

A sword pierced through the heavens!

The column of thunder radiating from the Qingge Sword surged outward, striking fiercely against Saint Miao Shang, who was deploying his Martial Soul!

Booming, booming——

Once again, the sound of earth-shattering rumbling echoed through the Underground Palace.

And at that moment, as the Underground Palace collapsed, countless stones were crushed into fragments by the powerful force!

A streak of golden light and a piece of thunder emerged from the Underground Palace and shot into Cloud Sky.

This force exploded once more in Cloud Sky, sweeping away thousands of miles of dark clouds and revealing a brightly shining moon!

At this moment, all the warriors who escaped from the Underground Palace, whether disciples of the Five Poison Sect or warriors of the He Family, all looked up together at the sky above, witnessing the astonishing explosion of power.

"My god!"

"Such a formidable force!"

"I actually feel like I might wet my pants in front of this power!"

Many warriors watched with pale faces as the power exploded above Cloud Sky.

In the distance, the Saintess, looking at the golden light and thunder bursting from the Underground Palace, said indifferently, "Miao Shang, have you used your Martial Soul? I didn’t expect that Lin Bai would push you into such a dire situation, forcing you to utilize your Martial Soul!"

"Heavenly Centipede, it’s been a long time!" said the Saintess with a hint of nostalgia.

Back in the day, Miao Shang had emerged out of nowhere and conquered countless geniuses within the Five Poison Sect, ascending to the position of Saint.

Since Miao Shang became the Saint, he had virtually been an invincible entity among his peers within the Five Poison Sect.

Since then, the Saintess rarely saw Miao Shang employ his Martial Soul!

Yet as time passed, and years went by, today at the He Family, the Saintess once again witnessed the Heavenly Centipede!
