"Hahaha~~!"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master stood up. The only difference was a strange rune on his brow, emitting faint red light.
"Hehehe~~"
He extended his palm, clenching it, his eyes filled with joy. It was as if he had lost his physical body for a very, very long time, and he kept scanning his own body.
"Boom!"
The Imperial Corpse walked to the side of the Blood Fiend Desolate Master, knelt on one knee, and slammed his right fist against his chest.
It was different from when the Imperial Dynasty's Secret Treasure was opened, and also different from when it appeared some time ago. The exposed skin was dark gold, and in the empty eye sockets, two lustrous dark spiritual pearls spun.
"How many years, how many years, this long-lost physical body, hahahaha, I never thought I would be able to awe the world again!"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master waved his palm, and the raging flames burning in the sky instantly vanished into smoke.
"Rumble~~"
The gray bone tower behind the Imperial Dynasty's palace emitted faint dark energy, accompanied by a rumbling roar, shrinking and flying into the Blood Fiend Desolate Master's hand.
"Om~~"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master's eyes swept across He Yuanqing and Liang Shita, and instantly, the surging elemental energy that shot towards them like a tidal wave blasted the two of them hundreds of feet away. They crashed through countless mountain peaks, dust billowing, and killing intent soaring!
The terrifying power seemed as if it would shatter the entire land!
"Hmm?"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master, holding the gray bone tower, looked puzzled. "How could a mere Creation Realm cultivator withstand a single blow from this Venerable One!"
Although his spiritual power had weakened after successfully possessing a new body, his divine soul had fallen from the Venerable Realm to the top tier of the God Cultivating Realm. However, he was still two great realms higher than the two humans. How could this be?
"Cough cough~~"
"Cough cough~~"
Liang Shita and He Yuanqing lay bleeding in a mud pit, their legion armor completely cracked.
Since the establishment of the Great Han Legion, there had been dozens of battles. From the commander of an army to the soldiers, not a single person had ever had their armor cracked.
Now, with just two streaks of blood-red light from the Blood Fiend Desolate Master, the legion armor was instantly shattered.
"Om~~"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master's eyes narrowed, and an extremely powerful aura instantly locked onto Liang Shita and He Yuanqing.
"How... possible..."
He Yuanqing's face was bruised and purple, and his elemental force could not be mobilized at all. In front of this pseudo-Blood Fiend Desolate Master, he had no ability to resist, like a puppet.
"Even if you broke through the Nirvana Realm, you couldn't shatter the armor bestowed by the Human Emperor!"
Liang Shita clutched his own neck, as if an invisible force was constricting his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
"Are Venerables this strong?"
He Yuanqing's eyes were bloodshot, and a death aura enveloped them both.
"Human race?"
"This is interesting. To be able to withstand this Venerable One's casual blow, tsk tsk tsk!"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master looked at Liang Shita and He Yuanqing with interest, his tone somewhat puzzled. "Your armor is truly exceptional, actually withstanding one strike from this race and saving your lives."
"You two are like fine jade. If sculpted properly, perhaps you could refine your divine souls, reach the God Cultivating Realm, and become this Venerable One's physical bodies!"
"Hmm?"
He Yuanqing and Liang Shita frowned simultaneously. It was widely rumored in the Savage Realm that after breaking through the Nirvana Realm and forging the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body, one could step into the Venerable Realm. Where did the God Cultivating Realm come from?
"Tsk tsk tsk, this Venerable One likes your expressions. How many years, how many years, ignorant abandoned warriors, sinners of the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, hahahaha!"
"Hmph!"
As if thinking of something, the Blood Fiend Desolate Master's eyes suddenly bulged, and blood light splattered. "You didn't expect it, did you? After all your efforts to expel this Venerable One from the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm and exile him to the Savage Realm, this Venerable One still survived, hahaha. One day, this Venerable One will kill his way back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm and flatten the Fire Cloud Cave."
"Hehehe, the Venerable Realm, and you dare to step into the Venerable Realm by inheriting my cultivation techniques, hahahaha, utterly laughable!"
"Utterly laughable!"
"You are the Five Yang Venerable?"
Liang Shita's lips oozed blood, and his face became even more dark purple.
"That's right, this Venerable One is the Five Yang Venerable!"
"Impossible, you are the Five Yang Venerable?"
He Yuanqing roared, "The Five Yang Venerable died a million years ago. How can a martial artist live for a million years?"
"Hahahaha!"
The Blood Fiend Desolate Master, who was the Five Yang Venerable, laughed maniacally. "Let you die with understanding."
"The Nirvana Realm is only for tempering the physical body and forging the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. Above that is the God Cultivating Realm, where one refines the divine soul. Once one reaches this realm, even if their lifespan is exhausted and their physical body can no longer bear the divine soul, the divine soul can exist independently for a hundred thousand years. One only needs to find a physical body capable of bearing the divine soul to survive again!"
"Above the God Cultivating Realm is the supreme Venerable Realm. Once one steps into the Venerable Realm, regardless of their tribe, they will be granted a lifespan of a full five hundred thousand years!"
"Even in the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, or even the entire Eastern Wilderness Continent, there are no more than fifteen individuals who have stepped into the Venerable Realm!"
"Below the Venerable Realm, all are ants!"
"Back then, the cultivation method this Venerable One left behind while roaming the Savage Realm was incomplete. If one cultivates this incomplete technique, upon breaking through the Nirvana Realm, they will face a life-and-death tribulation in every minor realm."
"Only by passing the trial set by this Venerable One and breaking through the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body will one be qualified to become this Venerable One's vessel, allowing this Venerable One to live another life."
"Hmph, it was you detestable human martial artists who saw through this Venerable One's resurrection method and suppressed me within this detestable palace. However, this Venerable One is also grateful to him. It was he who sealed this Venerable One's divine soul, allowing it to survive even after a million years!"
"Hahaha, look, what a beautiful physical body!"
"When this Venerable One's strength recovers to its peak, I will sweep through the Savage Realm, kill my way back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, destroy the inheritance of the Fire Cloud Cave. A million years of humiliation, I will make them pay in blood!"
"Five Yang, who are you going to make pay in blood!"
"Who?"
The Five Yang Venerable's face changed drastically. He quickly turned his head and saw a man standing in the void. He was seven feet tall, with a round face, exceptionally large ears, and a full beard.
"Ji, Hong, Wen!"
The Five Yang Venerable's eyes widened abruptly, filled with hatred. Looking at the man in the void, he directly released his control over Liang Shita and He Yuanqing.
"Five Yang, you fell into the demonic path, betrayed the wishes of the past Cave Lords of the Fire Cloud Cave, had half your divine soul severed by the Cave Lord, and were exiled to the Savage Realm. Yet you still refuse to repent. To regain your Venerable Realm status, you did not hesitate to use the blood of billions of beings in the Savage Realm, turning them into a sea of corpses!"
"Ji Hongwen, how dare you!"
