The Corpse King possessed no emotions or desires.
After his death and rebirth, he was no longer himself.
He spoke directly.
Fortunately, the Lord of Light was accustomed to being retorted at.
Specifically, when did it start?
Oh... it seemed to be from the moment he met Chen Fan.
"Forget it."
Habit became second nature.
The Lord of Light no longer wished to speak.
He wanted to remain silent now and ignore the powerful ninth-rank being before him.
The Corpse King seemed to feel nothing wrong with what he had said, remaining calm as he said, "Let's go."
He was prepared to make a move.
The Illusion Sect had secured his promise to act.
The Corpse King was a corpse, yet he wished to be human.
His gaze fell upon the Evil Lord once more, and the Corpse King spoke again, "Your condition is not right..."
"Heh."
The Evil Lord's smile was cold, his pupils flickering with burning battle intent.
The Corpse King's power stirred his desire to fight.
The Illusion Sect felt it, and the Lord of Light felt it too.
This one was about to act.
"Cough, cough."
The Illusion Sect coughed helplessly, "Please, you two, no need to rush. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight."
Fighting was not an option; his head already ached.
"Jie jie."
The Evil Lord laughed. Da Feng Novel Network.
His laughter was filled with unsettling negative emotions.
Except for the Corpse King, who remained indifferent, the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light felt a pang of unease, their emotions affected by the negativity.
"Let's go."
The Illusion Sect had no choice but to speak.
The Corpse King strode forward and asked, "Where to?"
"Fusang Valley," the Illusion Sect directly stated the destination.
Besides himself and the Corpse King, there were four other ninth-rank beings in the Sixth Land.
The Illusion Sect's first suspicion fell on the one in Fusang Valley.
Back when he was still in the Sixth Land, he had a difficult relationship with that individual, and he was the first one he suspected.
"Alright."
The Corpse King nodded and stepped into the air.
Then... the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light looked at the Evil Lord.
"Hmph."
The Evil Lord snorted coldly and instantly tore through the void.
He was being tedious.
Seeing him move, the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light exchanged a look and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, they hadn't started fighting.
The Evil Lord's personality was truly difficult to handle; even Chen Fan couldn't completely control him.
Let alone the two of them.
"Alas, let's go," the Lord of Light sighed.
Now, both he and the Illusion Sect were heavily injured. The Corpse King and the Evil Lord were the main players going forward.
To deal with ninth-ranks, only ninth-ranks would suffice.
...
Fusang Valley.
A colossal chaos giant tree stood between heaven and earth.
The tree was immense, spanning the ends of the world, its branches exuding traces of the Great Dao.
Each branch was a nascent form of the Great Dao.
A radiant sun hovered above the canopy of the Fusang tree, immensely vast, as if vying for glory with the sun in the chaotic sky.
Boom.
Overwhelming corpse qi surged forward.
The corpse qi was endless, with no discernible end, like a tidal wave assaulting the land.
Swish, swish.
The ancient Fusang tree swayed, unleashing traces of the Great Dao to meet the surging, infinite corpse qi.
The collision of Great Daos echoed throughout the entire Sixth Land.
Eyes from an immeasurable distance focused, their gazes transforming into divine rainbows that pierced through countless layers of chaos, looking towards Fusang Valley.
This was the collision of ninth-rank existences.
"Corpse King."
A cold voice emanated from within the ancient Fusang tree.
The sun blazed even brighter, its scorching aura spreading, burning the boundless corpse qi into nothingness.
The voice of the Fusang Dao Lord echoed through the void, "What business do you have in my Fusang Valley?"
His mighty voice reverberated across heaven and earth.
Buzz!
From behind, the Evil Lord and the other two arrived.
A powerful aura permeated the land and spread outwards, "Illusion Sect, long time no see. You are... the Lord of Light? And this is... Thousand Silks?"
The Fusang Dao Lord recognized the newcomers.
Boom.
The sun blazed, and the figure of the Fusang Dao Lord flickered within the sun, gazing directly at the four.
The branches of the ancient Fusang tree began to sway faster, imprinting the traces of the Great Dao upon the void.
The Fusang Dao Lord was on guard against the four.
Although the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light were heavily injured, there was still the Corpse King and the Evil Lord.
"What business do four of you have in my Fusang Valley?" the Fusang Dao Lord asked softly.
The Corpse King was emotionless, and the Evil Lord was not good with words.
Although the Lord of Light was also eloquent, this was not his home ground, so he remained silent.
The only one who could step forward was the Illusion Sect.
With his heavily injured body, he took a step forward and declared in a loud voice, "Fellow Daoist Fusang, we have come together naturally to seek a discussion of the Dao with you."
"Discuss the Dao?"
The Fusang Dao Lord's tone was calm, "With your heavily injured body? Or all four of you discussing the Dao together?"
Upon hearing this, the Illusion Sect immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it is Fellow Daoist Evil Lord who truly wishes to discuss the Dao with you."
The Illusion Sect voluntarily stepped aside.
The Evil Lord, filled with all sorts of negative emotions, stepped forward.
His killing intent surged, and his gaze shot divine light into Fusang Valley.
"...Who are you?" the Fusang Dao Lord asked.
He recognized Thousand Silks' appearance, but the person before him was clearly not Thousand Silks.
"Evil Lord."
A calm voice sounded.
There was no impassioned tone, only an aura like a vast sea of killing intent.
He could no longer wait to make his move.
"Hoo."
The Fusang Dao Lord exhaled a turbid breath, "You killed Thousand Silks?"
With his discernment, he could naturally tell it was not a case of soul possession.
He had already thought of a possibility.
"Heh."
A defiant smirk slowly spread across his lips.
The Evil Lord's aura began to churn, poisonous mist swirling and mingling with the sea-like corpse qi, pressing towards Fusang Valley.
Swish, swish.
The ancient Fusang tree continued to sway, and the traces of the Great Dao struggled to block the impact of the corpse qi and poisonous mist.
"Fellow Daoist Evil Lord."
Another voice sounded from within the great sun, "I am not feeling well today. If you wish to discuss the Dao, let us do it another day."
He refused.
The Evil Lord was clearly preparing to strike, and the Fusang Dao Lord had to refuse.
"That is not for you to decide."
The Evil Lord licked his lips, his battle intent boiling.
Endless poisonous Dao energy broke through the obstruction of the ancient Fusang tree and surged into Fusang Valley.
"Kill."
He directly attacked.
His killing intent had been suppressed to its limit; if he didn't act now, the Evil Lord would explode from his own killing intent.
Boom.
The poisonous mist stretched across the heavens like a ribbon.
Chains that bound heaven and earth wriggled like venomous dragons, traversing the sky and boiling within Fusang Valley.
Swish, swish.
The ancient tree swayed, and the traces of the Great Dao began to deepen.
The poisonous Dao attacks that had penetrated Fusang Valley were blocked by the ancient tree.
Boom.
The Evil Lord moved.
His body was like a phantom dragon, charging directly into Fusang Valley.
"I want to see if you are the true self," the Evil Lord no longer bothered to conceal himself.
The branches of the ancient tree around him continuously shattered and exploded.
He could not get close.
The Evil Lord's speed was too great; he moved by tracing the Dao, instantly appearing before the ancient Fusang tree.
His raised fist gathered the surging poisonous mist, and then...
"Roar."
A venomous dragon descended with his fist.
The dragon's roar shook heaven and earth, filling the entire Fusang Valley.
The dragon beast fell with earth-shattering force, and with a 'bang,' it directly blew apart the great sun on the Fusang tree.
The Dao's energy code spread throughout Fusang Valley.
Within the great sun, a figure shattered with the dragon's roar.
One strike destroyed the great sun and collapsed the ancient tree.
