"Hmm?"
Looking at Chen Fan, who was extremely excited, the Corpse Emperor felt completely out of sorts.
"What is it, hurry up," Chen Fan urged impatiently.
Corpse Emperor: "..."
Alas.
Do you think I'm an idiot, or are you an idiot?
"Hey, your name is Chen Fan, right?"
"That's right." Chen Fan nodded. "This has nothing to do with you severing your dao, does it? Alright, we can talk about any problems you have later."
"..."
The Corpse Emperor didn't want to speak.
If possible, he wished he could slap this little bug to death.
After a long while, he suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled, "Cooperation also requires mutual assurance."
"What assurance?"
"I need to leave a trace of my mark in your river of rules."
Chen Fan smiled. "Can you do it?"
The river of rules was in Chen Fan's control. If he didn't agree, no one could leave a mark in it.
The Corpse Emperor couldn't either.
All previous events had proven this.
The Corpse Emperor couldn't seize Chen Fan's river of rules: "So, I need your consent."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and smiled. "Alright."
He agreed too readily, which made the Corpse Emperor confused again for a moment.
"Hoo."
The Corpse Emperor exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression becoming much more serious. "Good, now you can open your river of rules."
"Hmm?"
Something's not right, Chen Fan asked with a smile. "You're not being prompt in your actions, so why do you demand I be so prompt? Shouldn't it be simultaneous?"
The Corpse Emperor pondered for a moment: "Good."
As the words fell...
"Boom!"
The immensely powerful Great Dao of Death appeared. The Corpse Emperor said, "This is the limit I can condense now. To manifest more rules, my main body needs to appear."
"That's enough."
Chen Fan's face was smiling, but his heart was full of shock.
The River of Death, even if it was just a wisp of the Corpse Emperor's will condensed into a River of Death, was several thousand feet long.
It was nearly a hundred meters wide.
"Gulp!"
He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Was this the river of rules condensed by a Heavenly Emperor?
There was nothing superfluous, only a Great Dao of Death that permeated everything.
Unlike Chen Fan, whose river of rules had very complex attributes.
The Great Dao of Death before him was incredibly pure.
"It's your turn!"
The Corpse Emperor spoke, bringing Chen Fan back to his senses. He nodded: "Alright!"
Sizzle!
Chen Fan's river of rules appeared. Unlike the Corpse Emperor's purity, his river of rules contained everything.
"Chirp!"
Another will of the Corpse Emperor emerged from the River of Death and stepped into Chen Fan's river of rules.
Chen Fan glanced at it and said nothing.
He clenched his fist.
"Boom!"
With a punch, the thousand-foot-long River of Death was directly stirred.
A powerful force of death invaded along Chen Fan's arm.
"Let go."
Chen Fan looked at the Corpse Emperor coldly.
"..."
"Hmph!"
The Corpse Emperor snorted coldly, then released his control over the River of Death.
"It's mine!"
Chen Fan was extremely excited and shot up into the sky.
On his body, eight strands of imperial qi transformed into ferocious dragons and invaded the River of Death.
Without the Corpse Emperor's will controlling it, the River of Death was like a soulless entity.
The passive counterattacks couldn't withstand Chen Fan's attack.
"Rumble!"
A moment later, the River of Death began to collapse. With every bit that collapsed, Chen Fan devoured it.
In Chen Fan's river of rules, the attribute of death grew stronger again.
This rule of death contained not only Chen Fan's dao but also the dao of the Pavilion Master of the Bright Moon Pavilion in Zhongzhou.
At this moment, in the Bright Moon Pavilion located in Zhongzhou.
With a rumble, an immensely colossal dragon of imperial qi appeared in the sky.
The aura of death spread across the land.
For a time, countless solemn gazes were drawn to the dragon of imperial qi above the Bright Moon Pavilion.
"Hahaha."
Laughter echoed from within the Bright Moon Pavilion, and at the same time, the current Pavilion Master of the Bright Moon Pavilion rode a dragon through the sky.
His aura shook the heavens and earth.
In the distance, a prodigy who had activated six strands of imperial qi felt an immense pressure.
One strand of imperial qi suppressed six strands of imperial qi.
...
City of Freedom.
While Chen Fan was devouring the River of Death, the Corpse Emperor was continuously leaving his marks on his river of rules.
Soon...
"Rumble."
The Corpse Emperor's River of Death completely collapsed.
Boundless power surged and fell into Chen Fan's river of rules.
In an instant, Chen Fan's aura grew stronger again.
And the marks the Corpse Emperor had left in the river of rules completely disappeared.
Both sides opened their eyes simultaneously, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
"It's done."
The Corpse Emperor nodded. "Pleasant cooperation. You can go and see my main body now."
"Alright."
Chen Fan nodded. "Where is your main body?"
"Below the Yi Fu thatched hut."
Chen Fan: "..."
So, Yi Fu had been personally suppressing the Corpse Emperor all along.
Chen Fan was speechless, but finally said, "Wait here, I'll come find you immediately."
"Good."
As he spoke, the Corpse Emperor prepared to dissipate the wisp of death will before him.
"Bang."
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan suddenly attacked, shattering the death aura.
"What are you doing?" the Corpse Emperor's expression changed drastically.
"Oh."
Chen Fan smiled indifferently. "Don't waste it."
Saying this, under the Corpse Emperor's furious gaze, he completely devoured the Corpse Emperor's last wisp of will.
It was done.
Chen Fan stood up directly.
He turned and swiftly flew towards the central thatched hut.
"City Lord Yi Fu, Chen Fan requests an audience."
Standing before the central thatched hut, Chen Fan announced in a loud voice.
Long Ling opened his eyes and looked at Chen Fan speechlessly. Here he comes again.
Chen Fan waved his hand, smiling. "Fellow Daoist Long Ling, we meet again."
Long Ling: "..."
Creak!
Just as Long Ling was about to speak, the door of the central thatched hut automatically opened: "Come in."
It was Master's voice.
"..."
Long Ling was speechless, but saw Chen Fan had already walked into the thatched hut.
"City Lord Yi Fu."
As soon as he entered the thatched hut, Chen Fan recounted the transaction he had made with the Corpse Emperor.
Yi Fu listened quietly. After he finished speaking, she replied, "Be careful not to be devoured by him and have him use your body to be reborn."
They were both powerful individuals. As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, she understood his intentions.
"It's fine."
Chen Fan was quite confident about this.
"Then, alright."
Yi Fu no longer persuaded him. She stood up, and the prayer mat on the ground automatically moved away.
"Whoosh!"
Beneath the prayer mat was a bottomless black hole.
Hissing death aura erupted.
Chen Fan: "..."
The astonishing death aura spread, but it could not break out of the black hole.
It was suppressed within the black hole by Yi Fu.
"Impressive." Chen Fan sighed inwardly.
As expected of the sixth strongest person in the world, suppressing the Corpse Emperor single-handedly.
Compared to the death aura in other places, the death aura here seemed to devour everything.
"The Corpse Emperor is below," Yi Fu said.
"I'm going down."
"Wait a moment."
Yi Fu still stopped Chen Fan, her expression grave. "You need to think carefully. If you are taken over by the Corpse Emperor, I will not show any mercy if you want to break out."
