Chapter 318 Slaying the Corpse Demon, Engaging with the Corpse Heaven Ancestor
As soon as Dugu Qiubai finished speaking, his whole body suddenly lit up.
It wasn't a dazzling brightness, but a soft, understated glow.
The light emanated from him, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped his entire body.
The Corpse King was stunned.
The disciples who were watching were also stunned.
As they gazed at Dugu Qiubai, at the radiance emanating from him, a ridiculous thought suddenly occurred to them—
He transformed himself into a sword.
The next moment, Dugu Qiubai made his move.
He transformed into a streak of light and crashed straight into the giant's abdominal cavity, where the Corpse Demon's true form resided.
There were no fancy moves, no complicated sword techniques, just a straight collision.
"boom--"
A deafening roar.
Its enormous body was pierced directly by that stream of light.
I was dressed in something that felt completely cool from head to toe.
The Corpse King lowered its head, staring at the huge hole in its chest. The eerie light in its eye sockets flickered a few times before extinguishing, and it collapsed to the ground—dead!
Then, the giant's enormous body vanished with a roar.
Amidst the dense fog of corpses, Dugu Qiubai didn't even glance at the corpse of the Corpse King.
He looked up and gazed into the depths of the Corpse Refining Sect.
There, a terrifying aura is awakening.
……
Deep in the back mountains.
Shi Tian opened his eyes.
He was one of the founders of the Corpse Refining Sect, a Celestial Immortal, and had lived for over a thousand years.
At this moment, his face was extremely ugly. He stood up, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
He sensed it: the Corpse King was dead, the mountain gate was destroyed, and the protective array was broken.
Someone actually dared to come to my doorstep?
……
Outside the mountain gate.
Dugu Qiubai stood still, waiting.
He knew the main character was coming.
Sure enough, the sky darkened the next moment.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, making it hard for people to breathe.
Those surviving disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.
Dugu Qiubai raised his head.
A giant hand appeared in the sky above our heads at some unknown time.
The hand, obscuring the sky and sun, emerged from the clouds and slapped down at him.
Thick corpse energy swirled around his palm, and before it even landed, the ruins below began to collapse.
Dugu Qiubai's pupils contracted.
Celestial being.
A true celestial being.
He tried to hide, but the palm covered an area of hundreds of miles, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"boom--"
The palm fell.
The entire mountain was reduced to dust.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and pebbles flew everywhere.
A moment later, the smoke and dust dissipated.
The hand disappeared.
All that remained was a huge, bottomless pit.
Shi Tian stood in mid-air, looking down at the deep pit, and coldly said, "Ants."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
Something is moving at the bottom of the pit.
He looked down.
At the bottom of the pit, a bloody, mangled mass was wriggling.
He is Dugu Qiubai.
He is not dead yet.
But he only had one breath left.
Most of his bones were broken, and his internal organs were severely injured. He lay there like a pile of rotten flesh.
But his eyes were bright.
It's incredibly bright.
Dugu Qiubai looked up at the sky above him, at the lofty Celestial Ancestor, and suddenly laughed, his whole body trembling with laughter.
"So...that's how it is..."
That palm strike just now almost killed him.
But it also allowed him to see that realm.
Celestial being.
The door is right in front of us.
Shi Tian frowned as he looked at the laughing ant at the bottom of the pit.
Is this person insane?
He raised his hand, ready to deliver another blow.
But at that moment, Dugu Qiubai suddenly spoke.
The voice was hoarse, yet it reached his ears clearly:
Thank you.
Shi Tian was taken aback.
Thank you?
What are you thanking me for?
Before he could react, a blinding light suddenly burst forth from the bottom of the pit.
The light emanated from Dugu Qiubai, growing brighter and stronger until it finally soared into the sky.
Shi Tian's expression changed.
He tried to stop it, but it was too late.
The beam of light shot straight into the sky, piercing through the clouds and illuminating the entire sky.
The next moment, the world changed color.
The spiritual energy from within a thousand miles was surging wildly towards this place.
The clouds churned and the wind howled.
The spiritual energy gathered above the deep pit, increasing in quantity and brightness.
Finally, it transformed into a giant sword thousands of feet long.
The sword is transparent, yet as solid as a mountain.
The sword tip pointed straight at the corpse sky.
Dugu Qiubai lay at the bottom of the pit, looking at the giant sword, and grinned.
He uttered a single word softly:
"go."
The giant sword fell.
With a devastating force, it slashed fiercely at Corpse Heaven.
-
This sword strike shocked the entire Central Plains.
Countless powerful beings raised their heads and looked in that direction.
Penglai Fairy Island.
An elderly man with white hair stood by the sea, watching the sword light, and remained silent for a long time.
Then he sighed softly, "A fine sword."
Qingyun Sect.
Sect Master Yun Potian stood atop the mountain, looking at the sword light with a complex expression.
Behind him stood a group of elders, each with a solemn expression.
"Sect Master, that is...?"
"Dugu Qiubai," Yun Potian said calmly, "a sword prodigy."
"He...has broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm?"
Yun Potian shook his head: "Not yet, but soon."
He gazed at the descending giant sword and murmured, "This sword strike, below the level of a celestial being, is unstoppable."
Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
A sigh echoed from the depths of Jian Ge.
That was the old pavilion master's voice, aged and distant:
"The way of the sword... has a successor."
He paused, then added, "Tell the people in the pavilion that they should treat Dugu Qiubai with the respect due to a junior in the future."
-
Corpse Refining Sect.
The entire Corpse Refining Sect trembled the moment the giant sword fell.
Shi Tian reacted swiftly, setting up layers of corpse energy shields in front of him with his hands.
"boom--"
A deafening roar.
The entire Corpse Refining Sect was trembling.
The mountain gate was shattered once again.
The protective mountain formation shattered even more completely.
Several mountain peaks collapsed directly.
Countless disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect were annihilated by the aftershocks of the sword light before they could even scream.
Shi Tian stood in mid-air, his face ashen.
He blocked the sword.
But he was also forced back three steps by the shock.
Three steps.
He, a celestial ancestor, was forced back three steps by an ant who had not yet broken through to the celestial realm.
He looked down at his hands.
My hands are shaking.
It's not fear.
It was shocking.
What kind of monster is this Dugu Qiubai?
He looked up at the deep pit.
The bottom of the pit was empty.
Dugu Qiubai had disappeared at some point.
Only one sentence remains, echoing between heaven and earth:
"This sword strike is a token of my gratitude. Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a feast."
Shi Tian stood there, his face turning pale and then flushed.
……
Three hundred miles away.
Dugu Qiubai lay on a large rock, panting heavily.
He was covered in blood, most of his bones were broken, and his internal organs were badly injured, but he was smiling.
"A celestial being...a celestial being..."
Dugu Qiubai murmured these two words, his eyes shining with an astonishing light.
He saw that door.
Just one step away.
It was just one step away.
He took a deep breath and struggled to sit up.
I need to find a place to recover.
I'll come back once my injury has healed.
At that time...
Dugu Qiubai smiled.
At that point, it won't be as simple as just being forced back three steps.
